Human rights are the bedrock of modern societies. They uphold human dignity and ensure fundamental freedoms for everyone. Without these protections, social structures crumble under the weight of inequality and injustice. For instance, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has inspired countless policies worldwide that promote equality and social justice. Yet, these principles are continually tested. How do societies fare when international law enforces these rights?
The Role of Human Rights in Promoting Equality
Human rights play a pivotal role in fostering equality within society. By advocating for anti-discrimination measures, these rights ensure that all individuals have equal opportunities, irrespective of their background. For instance, laws that prohibit discrimination based on race, gender, or sexual orientation help to create a more inclusive environment for everyone. Such measures not only benefit those who belong to marginalized groups but also enhance the overall social fabric by promoting diversity and mutual respect.
The impact of human rights on gender equality is particularly significant. By championing the cause of women and ensuring their rights are protected, societies can address historical imbalances and promote equal opportunities. For example, gender quotas in political representation or workplace policies that support maternity leave are direct outcomes of human rights initiatives. These policies pave the way for a more equitable society where both men and women can thrive.
Human rights also serve as a cornerstone for addressing the needs of marginalized groups. By recognizing the unique challenges faced by these communities, human rights frameworks can implement targeted interventions. This might include providing better access to education for minority groups or ensuring that people with disabilities have the necessary accommodations to participate fully in society. Such efforts are vital for promoting social cohesion and ensuring that everyone has a fair chance to succeed.
- Enacting laws that prohibit discrimination in employment based on race, gender, or disability.
- Implementing policies that support equal pay for equal work.
- Ensuring access to quality education for all children, regardless of their socio-economic status.
- Promoting representation of marginalized groups in decision-making bodies.
- Providing legal protections against hate crimes and hate speech.
Human Rights as a Foundation for Social Justice
Human rights are fundamental to achieving social justice. They establish the principles of fair treatment and legal protections, which are essential for creating a just society. For instance, the right to a fair trial ensures that every individual receives impartial judgment regardless of their background. This helps to prevent abuses of power and ensures that justice is served equitably.
Civil liberties, such as freedom of speech and assembly, are also critical components of human rights. These freedoms allow individuals to express their opinions and advocate for change without fear of reprisal. The ability to protest against injustices or campaign for policy changes is a vital aspect of social justice movements. Without these fundamental freedoms, it would be challenging to hold authorities accountable and drive societal progress.
Access to justice is another essential element supported by human rights. By providing mechanisms through which individuals can seek redress for grievances, human rights frameworks ensure that everyone has the opportunity to defend their rights. This could involve legal aid services for those unable to afford representation or specialized courts that handle human rights violations. Such measures are critical in ensuring that justice is accessible to all members of society.
The Global Influence of Human Rights Movements
Human rights movements have had a profound impact on shaping societies around the world. Through dedicated activism and advocacy, these movements have brought about significant changes in policy and law. For instance, the Civil Rights Movement in the United States led to landmark legislation such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed segregation and discrimination based on race. This demonstrates how collective action can lead to meaningful change.
International cooperation is another critical aspect of human rights advocacy. Organizations such as the United Nations play a pivotal role in promoting human rights globally through conventions and treaties like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These international agreements set standards that countries are encouraged to uphold, fostering a global culture of respect for human dignity and equality.
Human rights organizations, both local and international, contribute significantly to policy change. By documenting violations, providing legal assistance, and raising awareness, these organizations ensure that human rights remain a priority on the global agenda. For example, Amnesty International’s campaigns have highlighted issues such as torture and political imprisonment, leading to increased scrutiny and reform in various countries.
The influence of human rights movements is evident in the gradual but steady progress towards more just and equitable societies. While challenges remain, the continued commitment to upholding human dignity through human rights advocacy offers hope for a better future worldwide.
Note: Always consider recent events and updated statistics when discussing human rights issues to provide accurate and relevant information.

Hyundai to make Kona Electric in Czech Republic
Hyundai is apparently hatching plans to produce the fully-electric Kona at its Czech plant from the first half of 2020. So far, the Kona Electric has only been manufactured in South Korea from where it is exported all over the world.
The plans were reported in Business Korea, revealing that Hyundai not only wants to produce hybrid versions of the Tucson in the Czech Republic but also 46,000 units of the Kona Electric in the coming year – almost as many as will be produced this year in Ulsan, South Korea (48,000).
The plant in Nosovice is to emerging as Hyundai Motor’s largest overseas production base for electric cars, and the company has already scheduled the production of the Tucson Hybrid and Tucson PHEV at the Czech site. Hyundai wants to invest 105.7 billion won, the equivalent of around 80 million euros, in its Czech value. The majority of the sum is to be invested this year, as series production is to start in the first half of 2020.
With production in Europe, Hyundai could greatly reduce the long waiting times for their compact electric SUV – provided the Korean company can get enough batteries. The article in Business Korea did not report on a battery strategy for the move. The units produced in Korea use battery cells from LG Chem. The Korean company also operates a production facility for the automotive industry in Wroclaw, Poland.

EASA approves Skycharge solution
The Skycharge solution developed by Green Motion and Pipistrel was recently approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) as the world’s first OEM-independent electric aircraft charging station.
+ + Kindly see our update below + +
Slovenian aircraft manufacturer Pipistrel and Swiss charging station provider Green Motion had announced the development of the then-unnamed charging solution in July 2020. In the meantime, Green Motion was bought by the Irish-American energy management company Eaton.
However, this was not detrimental to the development of Skycharge: according to Green Motion’s announcement, Skycharge is based on Eaton’s own DC charging technology. This is supposed to achieve a conversion efficiency of over 96 per cent with compact dimensions at the same time. In addition, the charging solution is said to be V2G-capable.
Skycharge is available as a fixed version on a rack or mobile with wheels. In addition to electric aircraft (such as Pipistrel’s Velis Electro), it will also be able to charge eVTOL aircraft. The station has a GB/T plug (i.e. the Chinese DC charging standard), which Green Motion says is used for charging aircraft. However, e-cars can also be charged via the CSS or CHAdeMO plug, which is also available.
“Skycharge is the result of the partnership between Pipistrel and Green Motion – two companies with revolutionary ideas and innovative solutions,” says François Randin, founder and CEO of Green Motion. “By collaborating our world-class engineering teams to shape and define the future of electric aircraft, we strive to provide the best flying experience and significantly reduce flight costs, air pollution and noise pollution.”
Back in June last year, Pipistrel’s Velis Electro became the first electric aircraft to receive type certification from EASA.
Update 12 April 2022:
The Skycharge charging solution developed by Green Motion and Pipistrel is now being used at Bern-Belp Airport. The station is mainly intended for training aircraft and will be made available to pilots free of charge until the end of 2022, according to Flughafen Bern AG.

Happy National Physical Therapy Month!
National Physical Therapy Month recognizes the impact physical therapists and physical therapist assistants make in restoring and improving motion in people’s lives. Even though the past year has presented unexpected changes and challenges for all of us, our dedicated PT team at Elite Physical Therapy in Stoughton and Foxboro are so proud of the outstanding accomplishments so many of our patients have made over the past year. Through hard work, a commitment to their therapy and rehab programs, and a relentless drive to return to doing what they love, our inspiring patients continue to remind us of why we do what we do! We’ve also had a number of our former patients decide they wanted to impact the lives of people every day by entering into Doctorate of Physical Therapy programs and joining our profession. That’s the greatest compliment we could ever receive and we could not be prouder!
How Physical Therapy Can Help
Now that fall has arrived, temperatures (and leaves!) are starting to fall in many parts of the country. And that means the transition from cooling our homes to heating our homes is right around the corner. No matter what method you use to heat your home, each fall you may cross your fingers and hope that your heating system still performs the way you need it to. If not, you might be calling an expert for a tune-up, or in extreme circumstances, you might need a complete overhaul.
Just like a heating system that has been largely dormant for the past several months, a body that hasn’t been physically engaged on a regular basis may have trouble getting started again. Especially as we age, our ability to move undergoes changes. But whether we’re talking about a college student or a retiree, returning to an activity without proper planning is a recipe for disaster. That’s where physical therapy comes in. Physical therapists are trained to treat injuries, ease pain, and improve patients’ function, but they can also help their patients prevent injuries and safely prepare to participate in new activities.
Think of physical therapists as “movement consultants” who can ensure that your body is physically ready to tackle a new challenge—or resume a favorite leisure activity. Here’s another example to illustrate what we’re talking about: Let’s say that you play in an adult soccer league and you’re preparing to play in your first game of the season in a few weeks. You probably hung up your cleats when the last season ended months ago, but expect to pick up just where you left off. But it’s simply too much to ask for your 2020 debut on the field to be on the same level as the last game of the previous season, when you likely had reached peak performance.
This may be a good time for your PT to step in and help you shake off the rust. Your physical therapist can assess your movement and customize an exercise plan to help you slowly return to sport and avoid an injury that could sideline you for the whole season. Just like tuning up your heating system, your physical therapist can help to ensure that your body is prepared to return to its former activity level following a hiatus.
If you feel you could benefit from the expertise of one of our skilled physical therapists, give us a call in Stoughton at 781-436-0391 or Foxboro at 774-332-1723 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.org.

Mechanical rooms are mostly packed with equipment. enCAD was asked for the upgradation of HVAC with a heat regeneration system. Our team successfully delivered engineering BIM drawings for equipment positioning within the limited space.
To provide installation drawings for their product.
The Client’s product is an HLR unit, which needs to be connected to the existing ducting system or the AHU. The enCAD team had to find a suitable location for placing the units and route the ductwork in an optimized way to reduce cost and improve efficiency. A major challenge faced by the team was the non-availability of the floor plans in CAD format. Our Engineers had to refer to the images of floor plans and photographs of the site to recreate the cad model of the building and the existing ductwork. The enCAD team was successful in providing the deliverables within the minimum time and with fewer errors.

1942World War II: The first Battle of El Alamein, a battle of the Western Desert Campaign in North Africa, was fought between the Axis forces (Germany and Italy) commanded by Field Marshal Rommel, and Allied forces of the British Eighth Army commanded by General Claude Auchinleck.

Local rate limiting architecture overview
This filter should be configured with the type URL
The token bucket is shared across all workers, thus the rate limits are applied per Envoy process.
Global rate limiting is also supported via the global rate limit filter.
The local rate limit filter applies a token bucket rate limit to incoming connections that are processed by the filter’s filter chain. Each connection processed by the filter utilizes a single token, and if no tokens are available, the connection will be immediately closed without further filter iteration.
In the current implementation each filter and filter chain has an independent rate limit.
Planned future enhancements: * rate limit on specific requestedApplicationProtocols` or detectedTransportProtocol
Every configured local rate limit filter has statistics rooted at local_ratelimit.<stat_prefix>. with the following statistics:

Login Issue Workaround – Beta Launcher
After the last two daily downtimes, we’ve experienced several issues with the login system that have caused delays for our pilots when trying to log in.
We’re currently working to resolve the issues with the login system and will be shipping a new version of the EVE launcher in early 2019 that uses a new login process and bypasses some of the systems that are currently causing issues for our pilots.
Right now, this launcher is available in beta form, and can be accessed in order to reduce the likelihood of login issues if pilots wish to do so.
Please be aware that this is of course a beta version of the EVE Launcher, with several known issues and probably a few that are presently undocumented.
If pilots choose to switch to the beta launcher, they will need to log in all accounts fresh. In addition to this, pilots should be aware that setting profiles is not currently working in the beta launcher.
To switch to the beta launcher, you can follow these instructions:

While you can read a lot of articles about the minimalist aesthetic, as well as possession of fewer things, of what is not said in all those articles is the minimalist food. The majority of people eat too much and wasted many foods. As someone that should weigh around 70 kg. Had overweight a few years ago I focus on who should lose weight as anyone else. I know what is eating pizza, fast food, more extra potatoes, desserts and others, everything that serve us restaurants today in day.
It is too much and is an alarmente epidemic proportions of foods served today. A large part of our health crisis due to overeating. A good part of the solution is to simply eat less. An article apart must be about what we eat organic, real food, grown locally, cooked at home with a minimum of processing and packaging. But today, I would like to talk about eating less.
It is something that I have focused on my own life, especially recently, when I see not only the quality of the food, but the amount. I think that we have been conditioned to eat without thinking, and to eat too much. Which of course is not nothing healthy. My attention has focused on eating until I find not full. I eat until I feel as if I would eat a little more, then I take a break. Respite. Check out Glenn Dubin for additional information. In 10 minutes, I am aware that I am satisfied and do not need to eat more. Here some tips: * only takes a small portion to begin with. Not a lot of comida.* eats despacion and with atencion.* make a pause between bite and morsel. Savor the comida.* stop until you’re full, and espera.* drink water with the comida.* eat every 2 or 3 hours, enduring hunger and a little wait more.* If you get hungry later, Come only a small snack, or some fruta.* reduces gradually. Do not try to eat like a bird at the beginning. View only starting by eating less, then you’re adjusting, then decrease slightly. Over time, are going to change, and you will be able to eat less. You will be more healthy (assuming these comendo less than before) and more light.

Donna started practicing yoga 3 years ago at the age of 85. I can remember the first day that she came into my yoga class. She walked up to me before class started to let me know this was her first yoga class ever. I feel like a lot of people who come to class for the first time are (understandably) a little nervous, but I couldn’t tell if she was at the time. I gave her a few tips as we started class.
She was already active, and had been all her life. When her kids were young she stayed home with them; but at 10:30 she would stop everything and exercise with the TV. Later when the kids were older she and her husband would go to the gym before work about 5am. Nowadays, in addition to the one day a week of yoga she has consistently done since that first day, she also attends a “Sit and Be Fit” class 3 days a week and walks a mile almost every day.
We talked a bit about her time at the gym nowadays and she told me about the great friends that she’s made in each of her classes. We talked about the importance of great new friends, especially at the age of 88. She even goes to lunch once a month with some friends that she made in one of her classes and mentioned how she “wouldn’t have known any of these people if they hadn’t shown up to class.”
So what made her attend her first yoga class anyway? She had watched her grandkids do yoga before and she wanted one more day for classes at the gym that would fit into her schedule. Luckily, “gentle yoga” fit the bill.
When she first started coming, EVERYTHING was hard. But, she persevered and as she’s practiced more, a lot of the exercises are no longer difficult.
Yoga has helped with her pain. She had to have back surgery in 2005; prior to that, there were some days she couldn’t stand up because the pain was so severe. She has inflammatory deteriorating discs in her neck (all 7 of the discs in her neck) and osteopenia. She has arthritis in her shoulder, back, knee and hips. And her tailbone curves out to a complete “U.” Does this stop her from coming to class? No! Donna is determined and a true inspiration!
Yoga has helped her a lot with her arthritis pain. She also had gone to physical therapy for 2 and a half months for her neck and the physical therapist told her that yoga is the best thing she can do for her neck. She noticed that several of the exercises we do in class are the same as those she did in physical therapy. Yoga has also helped with her back pain, as she stated, “Unless I foolishly lift something I shouldn’t, I rarely have back pain.”
When I asked her why she keeps coming to class, she stated that she has to do something on Monday because she is stiff and tired. After class, she is no longer stiff or tired and she can’t wait to get here and get started.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that she still works in the office of her condominium, doing contracts and sales. She has started working her schedule around class and lets clients know she can meet them before or after class time. She has learned that you need to set time for yourself. What a valuable lesson!My favorite quote from Donna as we spent a little time together that day was: “It’s amazing how much you can actually do no matter how old you get.” I couldn’t agree more. Donna, you are a true inspiration to me and I know to many others. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us!
Thank you for reading this story—if you feel inspired by it, will you share it with a friend or someone else who can use some inspiration today?

Phosphatidylcholine (PCL) fortified nano-phytopharmaceuticals for improvement of therapeutic efficacy
phytopharmaceuticals, phosphatidylcholine, nano-formulations, anti-cancer, antioxidantAbstract
Phytopharmaceuticals, derived from plants, are increasingly recognized for their potential therapeutic benefits. However, their effectiveness is often hindered by challenges such as poor bioavailability, stability, and targeted delivery. In this study, we aimed to address these limitations by developing PCL (phosphatidylcholine) fortified nano-phytopharmaceuticals to enhance therapeutic efficacy. PCL, a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer, was employed to encapsulate the phytopharmaceuticals, thereby improving their stability and bioavailability. The encapsulation process utilized nanoprecipitation, resulting in the formation of nanoparticles with controlled size and morphology. Various analytical techniques were employed to characterize the physicochemical properties of PCL fortified nano-phytopharmaceuticals, including dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Furthermore, the release kinetics of encapsulated phytopharmaceuticals from PCL nanoparticles were evaluated, demonstrating sustained and controlled release profiles, essential for prolonged therapeutic effects. Cytotoxicity studies conducted on in vitro cell culture models confirmed the biocompatibility and non-toxic nature of the developed nano-phytopharmaceuticals. Additionally, in vivo studies were conducted to assess the therapeutic efficacy of PCL fortified nano-phytopharmaceuticals in animal models. The results showIased improved bioavailability, targeted tissue distribution, and enhanced therapeutic effects compared to free phytopharmaceuticals. Moreover, the developed nano-phytopharmaceuticals exhibited prolonged circulation time in the bloodstream, enabling improved drug delivery and reduced dosing frequency. This review highlights the promising potential of PCL fortified nano-phytopharmaceuticals as an effective approach for enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of phytopharmaceuticals. The improved stability, bioavailability, sustained release, and targeted delivery achieved through this formulation strategy offer promising opportunities for advancing plant-based therapies.

Congratulations Valtteri Bottas! What a weekend, what a drive, what a win! Well deserved.
Hamilton had a really weird race. He demonstrated he had pace, but once closing in, he had overheating problems. Not sure if Bottas suffered similarly but to a lesser degree when coming up on back markers. Vettel/Ferrari clearly demonstrated though that they have no issues driving close at this race... did Mercedes get the cooling slightly wrong this race or did they just have an issue on Hamiltons race? That gap in the end is shocking - did he just turn down the car and limp it home in 4th?
As I see it, it is more of a Hamilton's thing.Yes Bottas lost a lot more time behind backmarkers than Vettel, but I think this is due to his inexperience and maybe a bit of anxiety not to crash.
Remember in Bahrain when he was in front of Vettel he was constantly changing his braking line because Vettel was distracting him in the mirrors.It's normal, the lad is not used to race winning pressure, he almost screwed up here in Russia (when he went off some 12 laps before the chequered flag) but otherwise it was brilliant performance.I think this race will affect him in a good psychologically manner.
Vettel extended his lead, so technically he was a winner coming out of this race.But, these extra 7 points were very tempting and eventually losing them could turn out to be crucial.But, this is IF.Brilliant racing by him as well.

In this study, catch and effort data for blue marlin in the three oceans, swordfish and southern bluefin tunas in the Indian Ocean, and skipjack tuna in the Pacific Ocean were aggregated to analyze each CPUE (catch-per-unit-effort) trend for Taiwanese longline and purse seine fisheries. Indian swordfish stock status was evaluated using age-structured model.
Besides a brief review on the global blue marlin fishery condition by analyzing the fishery data of blue marlin in the three Oceans, the catch and effort data of blue marlin in the Japanese, Taiwanese, and Hawaiian tuna longline fisheries in the Pacific Ocean were collected and analyzed. The main fishing grounds of Japanese longline fleets were in the tropical areas of the Pacific Ocean and the waters off Japan and Australia, while the Taiwanese tuna longline fleets mainly operated in the South Pacific Ocean and the Hawaiian tuna longline fisheries in the waters around Hawaiian Islands. However, the maps of catch-rates indicated that the habitats of blue marlin mainly distributed in the tropical waters of the Pacific Ocean. The standardized CPUE (catch-per-unit-of-effort) trends for each region showed that the catch-rates of blue marlin are higher in the tropical waters than those in the temperate areas for the Japanese tuna longline fleets. However, the catch-rates of Japanese longliners in tropical waters of the Pacific Ocean were also higher than those of Taiwanese longliners operated in the same waters although there are some differences in the historical trends between these two fleets. The fishery data from Hawaiian tuna longline fleets showed a decreasing trend in recent years. We need to examine the results with more detailed information to further discover the potential differences among the longline fisheries catching blue marlin in the Pacific Ocean.
The global skipjack tuna fishery condition was also reviewed by analyzing the fishery data of skipjack tuna in the three Oceans. In addition, CPUE of Taiwanese distant-water tuna purse seine fishery for skipjack tuna in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean was standardized using the generalized linear model (GLM). The results indicated a stable stock condition in recent four years but with likely slightly decreasing trend since the year 2000. The stock condition should be continuously assessed and monitored carefully.
The age-structured assessment model without sex factor was conducted for evaluating the population status of the swordfish in the Indian Ocean. Based on the results of this study, the fleet-aggregated fishing intensity in 2006 was higher than that at which MSY is achieved and the spawning stock biomass in 2006 was about 40% of its unfished level and much higher that at which MSY is achieved. Therefore, the results of this study indicate that there is probable overfishing of the swordfish stock in the Indian Ocean in recent years while the stock currently appears not to be in an overfished state.
The trend of standardized CPUE of southern bluefin tuna caught by Taiwanese longline fishery during 2002 and 2006 was consistent with nominal CPUE, which increased gradually since 2003. However, no long term trend of CPUE is available because the data from 2002 to 2006 were only used in this study. In addition, the CPUE also calculated based the data of the “core vessels” which were sieved out based on the data from 2006 to 2007. The results indicated that the CPUEs calculated based on the data of all vessels were close to those based on the data of core vessels. |

Why not just Join GOOOH and save your money. Put your hat in the ring with the rest of your district and get involved with GOOOH. You can still run for congress, but it wont cost you anything. and you wont be indebted to contributers just the people who elected you!!!
We are started now. GOOOH does not support an individual for congress it is a process for electing a true representative out of your districts pool of people. Where will you get the funds to mount a campaign? from special interests, lobbyists? are you independently wealthy? If not you, are spinning your wheels, if so i am opposed to your election, and will oppose you! as will every other member of the GOOOH movement. I am not saying you are not a valid candidate or an honest man, but if you get eleceted by taking money from special interests, then your first priority will be to them and not your district. It is that status Quo election system GOOOH is opposed to. thats what we are here to change, the election system!
In Nov 2010 GOOOH is going to replace all 435 members of the house of representatives with working class Americans. If you want to be one of those 435 new members of congress the only way to get there is thru GOOOH get involved in GOOOH or you wont have a chance at being elected!
Jim, I agree with Vincent; join GOOOH. Unless you plan to make politics your career GOOOH is for you. It offers everyday Americans their only real opportunity to serve in the House. It is not too late. Get in and get busy.
I don't know GOOOH's current strength in SC but do know, because I have friends there, that in NC GOOOH is very big. We are growing nationwide and at an accelerating pace.

6J residential day 1
We have had a great start to our residential at How Stean Gorge. It is a little chilly but we have been lucky with the weather…so far!
This morning, we had a stop-off at Coldstone’s cut. We walked up the hill to look down at the limestone quarry and we were fortunate to have clear enough weather to see the quarrying operation, and the landscape of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Beauty.
Once we arrived at How Stean, we ate lunch and chatted to some of 6D who had just completed their final activity.
We then split into three groups:
Group 1 Ben, Jagat, Logan, Esme, Annie, Rosalind, Aaliyah, Odin
Group 2 Hassan, Jaideep, Max, Viaan, Amelia, Ameera, Zaynab, Sahara, Jorja
Group 3 George, Musa, Imaan, Eesa, Ra’Kai, Neive, Aayush, Alise, Anna, Davina
Below are details of today’s activities and links to photos. Some of the photos of Group 2 are taking a while to upload but we will keep trying.
Group 1 went abseiling and gorge scrambling. All of the children completed the daunting abseil into the gorge despite feeling very nervous about it. The children travelled up stream across slippery rocks and into deep pools. Everyone enjoyed jumping into the water and sliding down the rapids.
Group 2 did the Via-Ferrata course: following a metal line traversing the gorge. The course is very challenging and the children really pushed themselves out of their comfort zones. Sahara, Jaideep, Viaan and Ameera even completed the zip line challenge. We were very proud of Max and Zaynab who conquered their fears to complete the majority of the route.
Group 3 went caving. The children ventured into the caves and were really positive, even when they were feeling a bit worried. Everyone completed Tom Taylor’s cave and Egglands cave and most of the group completed Catcall. All of the children worked really hard but a special mention to Davina who was in her absolute element and loved every minute.
This evening we had a lovely walk and enjoyed fantastic views of Nidderdale. We also made the most of the weather by toasting marshmallows over the camp fire.
The children have some free time now and we hope for a peaceful evening…

The Super Strat typically features a number of modifications that make it better suited for playing heavy music. These modifications can include a humbucker pickup in the bridge position, which provides a thicker and more aggressive tone than the single-coil pickups found on most Stratocasters. The Super Strat may also have a locking tremolo system, which allows the player to perform extreme dive bombs and other whammy bar tricks without going out of tune.
Many Super Strats also have a thinner neck profile than traditional Stratocasters, which makes them easier to play fast and with precision. They may also have jumbo frets, which allow the player to apply more pressure to the strings without bending them out of tune. Some Super Strats also have scalloped fretboards, which means that the wood between the frets has been removed to make it easier to press down on the strings.
The Super Strat has become popular among guitarists who play heavy music because it allows them to achieve a wide range of tones and techniques that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with a traditional Stratocaster. With its humbucker pickup and locking tremolo system, the Super Strat is capable of producing thick, heavy distortion and extreme whammy bar effects. At the same time, its thin neck profile and jumbo frets make it easy to play fast and with precision.
Despite its popularity among heavy metal guitarists, the Super Strat has been criticized by some purists who feel that it deviates too far from the classic Stratocaster design. Some argue that the modifications made to the Super Strat sacrifice tone and playability in favor of flashy features that are more suited to showmanship than musicality. However, for many guitarists who play heavy music, the Super Strat is an essential tool that allows them to achieve their desired sound and style.
- - "That politician is a Super Strat. I hope they get impeached."
- - "I heard that guy is a Super Strat in bed. Gross."
- - "I'm not going to that party, it's full of Super Strats."
- Examples of when to use "Super Strat" slang phrase or word:
- - "I can't believe she's dating him. He's such a Super Strat."
- - "Why would you wear that outfit? You look like a Super Strat."

Fifth Third Bank (FITB -0.23%) is a regional bank that often goes undiscussed. But a dive into one trend reveals that big things for its shareholders could be here soon.
The one thing worth watching
At its annual shareholder meeting, one of the fascinating things Fifth Third revealed was how well it did in returning the money it made to its shareholders relative to peers through dividends and share buybacks. As you can see below, it eclipsed not only regional peers like Huntington Bancshares (HBAN -0.51%), but also highly regarded Warren Buffett favorite, US Bancorp (USB 0.11%):
One of the biggest drivers behind this isn't just a strong dividend -- Fifth Third increased its dividend by 31% last year and returned more than $400 million to shareholders through it -- but that it repurchased $925 million worth of its common stock in 2013.
Relative to Huntington Bancshares and US Bancorp, the trend in its shares outstanding during the last year is strikingly different:
Yet, one of the most interesting things about Fifth Third Bank is that it doesn't appear as though this trend of buying back stock will stop anytime soon.
The trend continues
When the results from the Federal Reserve's annual CCAR process were announced, Fifth Third revealed it had received approval to repurchase up to $669 million in common stock between the beginning of April 2014 to the end of March 2015. In addition, when its latest announcement of its reduction of its stake in Vantiv was made in May, Fifth Third also added another $81 million to its repurchase budget, bringing the total to $750 million.
This coincides with the news from earlier in the year that Fifth Third had received explicit approval from its board of directors to repurchase up to 100 million shares. And in its latest SEC filing, we learned it didn't just do that in the first quarter of the year; at the end of April, it "entered into an accelerated share repurchase transaction," and was seeking to buy back 6.2 million shares for $150 million.
The key takeaway
With earnings season just around the corner, it will be very interesting to learn the direction of the repurchases in the second quarter, as the stock price of Fifth Third fell by nearly 15% from the beginning of April to the middle of May. If it truly believed the stock was a worthwhile purchase, one has to think it would've aggressively bought back more stock as the price plummeted.
More work needs to be done to determine if the management team is making a correct move by buying more shares, as its price to tangible book value of 1.8 undeniably wouldn't be considered "cheap." But there is the possibility it may be a good value.
And one way to determine this is to learn what the management team itself thinks.

5 Tips to Improve Your Credit Before Applying for a Mortgage
Do you want to buy a home in the near future? Follow these tips to improve your credit before applying for a mortgage.
Most people who dream of buying a home will have to apply for and get a mortgage to cover that big expense. If you're beginning to think about purchasing a house, you want to make sure that you're fully ready for the mortgage process and that your credit is in good standing. This way, you'll have a better chance of getting a better mortgage rate. If your credit needs some work, check out these tips to improve your credit score before applying for a mortgage.
1. Pay down your debt
If you have a lot of debt, it will hurt your chance of getting the best home loan. Mortgage lenders will look at your debt-to-income ratio (DTI). Your DTI is how much debt you have compared to the amount of income that you bring in. A lender will look at the minimum required payment for each of your debts and calculate a ratio based on your gross income. If you have a higher DTI, it can hurt your chances of getting a home loan. Before applying for a mortgage, spend some extra time paying down your debt.
2. Don't add new debt
While you're working to improve your credit, don't be tempted to take on new debt. Sure, emergencies can happen. But now is not the right time to make a large purchase if it's not a necessary expense. If you struggle with overspending, consider setting a budget so that you avoid taking on new debt.
3. Fix credit report errors
It's a smart idea to take a close look at your credit report every year. This can help you better understand where your credit stands and detect any errors. If you notice inaccuracies on your credit report, dispute them. Ensure there are no errors like signs of identity theft, paid-off debt still showing as outstanding, or missing payments that were in fact paid on time. You can dispute credit report errors by reaching out to each of the three credit bureaus.
4. Keep your older credit card accounts open
As you pay off your debt, you may be tempted to close older, unused accounts. That's not a good idea. If you have credit cards that you no longer use, consider paying for small, regular purchases with them each month and quickly paying off the balance. Keeping these older accounts open increases the overall length of your credit history, which is a factor that makes up 15% of your credit score. The longer all of your accounts are open, the better your score will be.
5. Request a credit limit increase
If you have credit cards with lower credit limits, now is a good time to consider asking for a credit limit increase. If you've been paying your credit card bills on time, your card issuer will likely agree to raise your limit.
A credit limit increase can help you improve your credit utilization ratio, which is how much credit you use based on the total amount of credit available to you. Your credit utilization ratio makes up 30% of your credit score. The lower your ratio is, the better.
For example, if you've spent $500 on a credit card with a limit of $1,000, your credit utilization ratio is 50%. But if you've spent $500 dollars on a card with a $2,500 limit, your credit utilization ratio is 20%. Lowering this ratio improves your credit, which will come in handy when it's time to apply for a mortgage.
The bottom line
To make your dreams of owning a home a rewarding experience, you want to make sure you're putting your best foot forward when it comes time to reach out to mortgage lenders. These tips can help you improve your chances of getting a better home loan.

Valencia have rejected a renewed transfer bid from Ligue 1 side Marseille for utility man Daniel Wass.
Marseille are rumoured to be determined to bring the Danish international to the Stade Velodrome ahead of the 2021/22 domestic season.
However, their initial advances have been turned down by Los Che, as they push for a higher fee for the 32-year-old in the coming weeks.
According to reports from Marca, Wass has asked the club to let him leave this month, after sliding down the starting pecking order at the Estadio Mestalla.
But despite the willingness from both Marseille and Wass to secure a deal, Valencia have dismissed their €1.5m offer as they hold out for a bid closer to their own €6m valuation.
The main stumbling block to an agreement appears to be Valencia’s concerns over signing a suitable replacement within the window as Wass’ versatility would leave a real hole in their plans.

Senior School students are given merit at the start of every year. By doing this the school recognizes that every one of our population is capable of being and maintaining a status as an upstanding member of Foothills Academy. A Merit Student is entitled to extra privileges from the school program. By holding Merit they are eligible for off-campus privileges throughout the year.
Merit status is maintained by adhering to the following criteria:

- Respects school property/the property of others.
- Taking personal responsibility.
- Completes homework and keeps up with studies.
- Demonstrating positive leadership to other students.
- Shows fairness, responsibility, respect for others and school property.
If a student encounters an incident that jeopardizes any of the criteria above, the student's homeroom teacher and member of the administration has the option of placing the student on a two-week probation. If another incident occurs within those two weeks, The student’s homeroom teacher and administrator will remove the student’s Merit privileges, contacting parents to inform them of the change.
To reacquire Merit, a student will need to pass the two week probation period without serious incident. These referrals from teachers and/or educational assistants will validate outstanding behaviour reflective of the criteria for merit. The administration will give final approval for Merit and parents will be contacted to inform them of the change in status.
A Merit Student may leave the school grounds during lunch time, by following these procedures:
- Students who are under 18 years of age require written consent from a parent/ guardian in order to leave the school grounds. A form is available to students at the beginning of the school year for this purpose. Signed forms will be kept on file.
- Students who wish to leave the school grounds at lunch will do so at 12:10 p.m.
Prior to leaving the building at 12:10 p.m., students will check in with their homeroom teacher, stating where they will be going during the lunch period. It is the expectation that students who are off grounds will return by the time classes begin in the afternoon. Any student who fails to follow the above procedures will receive a warning and parents will be contacted. If there’s a second infraction, the student may lose the privilege of leaving the grounds.

Low levels of a specific biomarker in your blood may be linked to the severity and duration of depression.
Researchers from Stanford and Rockefeller universities conducted a series of experiments on rodents.
Finding a deficiency in the biomarker known as acetyl-l-carnitine was connected to more behaviors related to depression.
Then in a separate study, the team examined patients diagnosed with depression.
Finding these people also had lower levels of this biomarker in their blood. The lower the levels of this in their bloodstream, the more severe case of depression they had.
Researchers said more work is needed to determine whether a supplement may improve symptoms.
The study was published online July 13 ahead of being printed in the journal "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."

When you fund this project, it means you believe in the project & you perceive it to be a Good project. Hence, a minimum rating of 8/10 is allowed. If you believe this project deserves a rating of only 3/10, for example, you should NOT be funding it!
Why is the rating scale, then, from 0 to 10?
Once a campaign is funded and the funds are transferred to the Campaign Owner - they have the responsibility to keep posting updates on the campaign progress & telling you about how your money is being utilized. Once the updates start, YOU can then revise YOUR rating based on the quality& frequency of those updates.
At that point of time, you can choose any rating between 0 - 10 & the weighted average score of all the Funders will determine the Crowdrating score of the Campaign.

Whether in a school, workplace, church, and even your home, having CO2 fire extinguishers nearby is advisable. They play a crucial role in stopping fires from spreading and causing havoc. Being the first line of defense, having them nearby could save a life in case of a fire. However, you need to understand that there are different fire extinguishers for different types of fires. Conducting a fire assessment risk can help you identify the class of fire likely to occur. You will know the fire extinguisher to keep. In this article, we highlight a few advantages of a fire extinguisher.
Looking at the numbers of deaths and injuries caused by fire accidents shows you the importance of having a fire extinguisher with you. The United States recorded over 1.3 million reported cases in 2015. The cases led to 15700 injured persons while 3280 people lost their lives. Fire extinguishers can be used to confine fire from spreading especially in crowded spaces. A fire in places like schools could have fatal effects with the absence of the proper safety tools.
We can defeat most of the fires that start with simple safety tools, like a fire extinguisher. In recent years studies have shown that in over 4500 fire accidents reviewed, fire extinguishers effectively stopped most fires from spreading. Having fire extinguishers in places like restaurants can disrupt a small fire from turning into a big accident.
Conserving The Environment
Fires release toxic smoke and fumes that have hazardous effects on our environment. The release of carbon, smoke, and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere can be bad for the environment and health.
A mixture of these gases in the air eats away the Ozone layer that protects us from the sun’s rays. Fire extinguishers are effective in preventing these fumes from reaching the open.
Protecting Our Health
Smoke is as harmful to the environment as it is to our health. It is a complex mixture of gases and fine particles that can be life-threatening when inhaled. The fine particles can travel down to your lungs, causing a lot of health effects. These could be something as mild as sore eyes to severe problems like heart and lung diseases. Children, the elderly, the sick, and pregnant are more at risk. Curbing a fire before it becomes a menace is for the good of everyone.
Poorly managed fires have catastrophic effects on our lives, property, and environment. As seen above, we can handle most fire incidents with the aid of a fire extinguisher. Investing in one could save lives and prevent property damage in the event of a fire.…

A Hall County jury this week overturned the Hall County Board of Tax Assessors’ appraised values of 58 vacant lots at a Braselton subdivision in a court case that the plaintiffs believe should set a precedent for similar appraisals.
The board expressed satisfaction with the verdict, however, which reduced the appraised value of the lots in dispute by 16 to 21 percent.
Frank Norton Jr. of North Georgia Growth Fund appealed the 2009 appraisals of the properties at Riverbend at Mulberry Park off Winder Highway, claiming that the values of between $50,000 and $53,000 per lot were in excess of fair market value.
According to minutes of a September 2009 meeting of the board of equalization, Norton told the board that construction was “at a standstill” and believed the fair market value for the parcels was about $17,900 each, which was the price North Georgia Growth Fund paid for each of the 58 lots.
After a two-day trial in Hall County Superior Court, a jury sided with Norton but did not lower the appraisals as much as asked.
The jury found that the Board of Tax Assessors did not prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the assessments were at fair market value.
But the jury also found that the value asserted by Norton was unreasonable.
The jury lowered the fair market value of each parcel to $42,424.
Norton’s attorney, Steven Gilliam, said the jury was asked to consider appraisals of between $17,900 and $32,500 for the parcels.
Appeals of tax appraisals are often mediated and sometimes heard by judges, but it is unusual for them to be tried before a jury.
“We felt it was important that a jury hear how the Hall County Tax Assessors Office was assessing these lots,” Gilliam said. “It’s not only affecting North Georgia growth fund, it’s affecting every owner of subdivisions in Hall County where lots have been assessed. All of them have been assessed using the same method, and this jury has said that method is not valid.”
Gilliam said the tax assessors use of mass appraisals for vacant, developed lots was improper, and the jury’s verdict showed that.
“It’s really precedent-setting,” he said.
Gilliam said he believed the board needed to revisit 2010 and 2009 assessments of other undeveloped lots in subdivisions. He noted that surrounding counties have lowered their assessments of such land.
“Hall County assessed this property the same amount (as previous years) without taking into account the current economic conditions,” Gilliam said.
Joey Homans, the attorney representing the board, said valuations were based on completed lots in the subdivision, of which there are about 100. The appraiser discounted the sale price of the 58 lots because he deemed it to be “so far below market value that there must be some distress associated with that sale,” Homans said.
Homans said the board members were in the courtroom when the jury came back late Wednesday.
“They were satisfied with the verdict,” Homans said.
Gilliam said the board should change its methods for appraising vacant subdivision lots or expect to be in court again.
“If the tax assessors don’t change their method, there will be another appeal filed,” Gilliam said.

We celebrate thoughtful design, exquisite detailing and uncompromised quality. Each Georgia Jay piece is handcrafted from premium Italian leather from our open studio in Auckland, New Zealand.
There may be slight variations in texture from one item to the next, and these minor distinctions give our pieces character and make them truly special and one of a kind. Due to the nature of leather, each hide varies in tones, textures and unique characteristics which we embrace and celebrate.
Our leather is of premium quality and the surface has been well protected so your bag is good to go. Avoid using your bag in the rain, however if it does get wet, allow it to dry naturally. You will likely want to clean your bag in order to retain the appearance of this item. For general cleaning of the surface, we recommend using a gentle leather leather cleanser or face cleanser with a little warm water and gently wiping the surface of your bag. If staining has occurred on your bag and is not able to be removed with a general clean, we advise seeking a specialty cleaner who specializes in leather.
Finishes and protective products can be applied to leather to make them water-resistant or waterproof. However, it’s worth noting that covering the surface of the leather can dull the look of the bag.
Suede is a type of leather that is made from the underside of animal skin, giving it a luxurious velvety texture and a soft and silky feel. Suede is also more delicate than other types of leather and requires special care to maintain its quality and appearance. Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial for suede handbags to prevent stains, water damage, and discolouration.
So that your premium suede handbag remains as beautiful as the day it was bought, we recommend you safely store your bag in the provided dust bag when it's not in use. A special suede brush, can remove small traces of dirt and marks, and help keep the surface clean. To give the suede a brighter appearance as well, use such a brush and follow the suede grain with little, gentle movements.
Make sure you protect your suede from water. Water not only stains the suede but also alters the grain pattern. Therefore, it is crucial to avoid wet weather and never to use a water-based cleaner. If you do however get your bag wet, let it dry naturally.
If stains have become impregnated into the suede we recommend you take your suede bag to be professionally cleaned by a leather-cleaning expert.

Players have spent literal decades playing on these maps, and have developed a deep understanding of their layouts and nuances.

This Jedi Assassin seems like a real nightmare for numerous gamers, so today we are going to tell you how to beat Rayvis in Star Wars Jedi Survivor. We will give you some tips that will help you defeat this tough and deadly opponent.
There is no special strategy that will help you easily beat Rayvis. Instead, you will need to study his attack patterns and use certain abilities to deal as much damage as possible.
How to beat Rayvis in Star Wars Jedi Survivor
Rayvis a giant and experienced Jedi Assassin who can use a special flail, rockets, and even a heavy blaster. So, you shouldn’t expect this fight to be easy. Prepare a decent build if you want to beat this opponent! Fortunately, there are some tips that may help you with Rayvis.
In order to beat Rayvis in Star Wars Jedi Survivor, use the following tips:
- Use Dual Blade or Crossguard lightsaber stances. They work well against a single target.
- The Dual Blade stance makes you faster and allows you to play in a more defensive manner. With high attack speed, you will be able to dodge and block all incoming blows and respond with a couple of quick strikes.
- On the other hand, the Crossguard stance is a slow but aggressive option. If you can attack at the right time, then the boss will fall really quickly.
- Try to learn the patterns of Rayvis, and don't attack him when he is in the middle of one of his combos. This is unlikely to work, and he will just hit you in most cases.
- Be ready to avoid or deflect ranged attacks from his blaster. He likes to shoot when you play too aggressively.
- Also, if you see that Rayvis is about to launch his rockets, avoid the circles that appear on the ground. They show where his projectiles will land.
- Use the time-stop ability to land a few free hits to the boss.
- In the second phase of this boss fight, you will need to follow the same strategy. Rayvis will become more aggressive when his armour is removed, and you will have to fight him carefully.
- Overall, don’t be afraid of your mistakes. Learn the attack patterns of Rayvis and try to avoid the most dangerous moves the next time.
Just follow the steps above and you will beat Rayvis! Before you go, check out our guide on how to get Blaster Stance in Star Wars Jedi Survivor.

Ninos de Guatemala (NDG) provides over 500 children from low income families with access to the quality education they deserve. Operating 3 schools, NDG partners with families and the community to help children gain "skills for success" that will serve them in both education and life. NDG strives to be self-sustainable due to its Child Sponsorship Program and its two social business initiatives: a Spanish school and a tour operator based in Antigua, Guatemala.
Families that live in extreme poverty often see school as an impossible cost. Even public school carries costs, including books, uniforms, and transportation. Because parents have not experienced the increases in earnings, quality of life, and personal dignity that come from education, they don't know what they are missing by pulling a child out of school to work instead. This is why it's a cycle: children who grow up without education are less likely to send their own children to school.
By offering a quality education, NDG makes it easier for families to decide to send their children to school. Our well-trained teachers, free nutritious snacks, extracurricular opportunities and practical curriculum give families more value when they enroll their children. Also, NDG's social workers teach families about the value of education and allow them to experience it themselves through our Parents School. This helps maintain student retention rates and engage the community simultaneously.
By providing a generation of Guatemalans with a quality education, NDG replaces a vicious cycle with a virtuous one. Instead of poverty sowing the seeds for still more poverty, education today will create an environment that leads to opportunities and education for successive generations as well. Instead of leaving school to work 14-hour days in the coffee fields, children will have the chance to raise their income, engage their intellectual curiosity, and live in a more stable society.
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).

- Founder and Chairman of China Highlights
First, we should introduce Victor, our founder. His launch of China Highlights was on the same day Google was born (talk about good omens!).
Once a tour guide himself, Victor was frustrated by China's vanilla group tours - rigid schedules, hidden costs, and uninteresting detours. He thought, there's got to be more to exploring China than this!
Victor dreamed up a better way. He wanted to take travelers away from the cookie-cutter attractions and take them where the genuine experiences were: stirring conversations with local farmers, homey comfort food at local-frequented bistros, and the uncharted treasures of nature.
So, on September 4, 1998, Victor rolled up his sleeves and launched China Highlights. His mission? To make China discovery your way possible for travelers like you.
And here we are, over 25 years later, still passionate about delivering travel experiences that are personalized, authentic, and, most importantly, loads of fun!
Meet Our First Customers
Meet Avner & Hanna, our very first customers back in 1998. Their journey started in the picturesque city of Guilin with China Highlights and sparked a friendship that has spanned over two decades.
They developed a special bond with Victor, and became more than customers - they became part of our Highlights Travel Family. Over the years, they've explored China's stunning landscapes with us, always trusting our personalized travel services for their adventures.
In 2019, they paid a visit to our new office in Guilin for a heartfelt reunion. Their ongoing support and friendship remind us of the personal connections we strive to build with all our guests at China Highlights.
- CEO of the Highlights Travel Family
"Since my early beginnings at China Highlights in 2004, I've journeyed through various roles to stand where I am today. Along this path, an enduring passion for history and travel has shaped me, allowing me to see that the keys to our future often lie within the wisdom of our memory."
"I revel in bringing my history books to life through my travels, with my adventures taking me to Europe and along the historic Silk Road into Central Asia and Iran. These deep dives into culture and history constantly invigorate me, fueling our determination to bring our personalized, stress-free travel services to the globe."
"Through all our journeys, our mission remains clear: to create travel experiences that are not just trips, but beautiful memories that last a lifetime. I look forward to accompanying you on this transformative journey to experience China, Asia, and the world - in your own unique way."
- Founder of Asia Highlights
- Marketing Manager of the Highlights Travel Family
"I started my journey as a German-speaking guide in China, making inspiring connections and sharing unique adventures. It sparked a vision in me to extend personal travel beyond China, leading to the birth of Asia Highlights in 2016. "
"Also a proud mother of two wonderful girls, I've faced the typical challenges of family travel -from endless online options to satisfying everyone's interests. This inspired my mission: to offer families and couples personalized and stress-free journeys, crafting beautiful trips into beautiful memories."
"But my journey hasn't been all smooth sailing. I'm a cancer survivor, a tussle with life that has only made me more resilient and determined. Every step I have taken, every hurdle I have overcome, has strengthened my belief: that persistence and travel are the keys to enriching life."
"Today, my goal is to bring our unique touch to Asia and beyond. Life, much like travel, is an incredible journey embedded with lessons, experiences, and precious moments. No matter where the journey takes us, we can't wait to help create these precious moments for you and your loved ones, one unforgettable trip at a time."

Imagine a house full of golden items that shine brighter than the sun. Since ancient times, this precious metal has been considered the personification of the heavenly body, emphasizing the status and prestige of the owner.
Portuguese designers add exclusivity
The inventive professionals of the Portuguese firm Boca do Lobo specialize in “golden” furniture design.
Representatives of the company claim that gold will never go out of fashion, since it adds an element of luxury to all pieces of furniture. It’s hard to disagree with Boca do Lobo, because the unique high-end masterpieces evoke admiration.
For example, the craftsmen made an elegant gold folding screen from 19 fragments. An unusual solution fills the product with vital energy and amazes with the eternal nobility of the yellow metal. The screen is made of fiberglass in the form of river stones sparkling in the sun and covered with gold leaf.
In the photo: the partition can be folded down for the ease of shipping.
Designers rethink history and aesthetics through the prism of modern technology. All the furniture is made by craftsmen by hand, using only high quality materials. Every creation has an original design and its own history. The elegant Eden collection is a group of gilded coffee tables that can be combined as you wish, it all depends on your imagination.
The Eden tables by Boca do Lobo can be combined in any way you want, allowing you to dynamically refresh the interior.
In the photo: the luxury of brass and gold will add splendor to any interior.
Eternal gold of Italians
Products of incredible beauty (ceramic base with gold inserts) are created by the world-famous company from Italy, namely Bosa. The brand has long been a leader in the production of ceramic decor due to its innovative and creative approach. Masters are focused on the production of products of the highest quality.
In the photo: designer Riccardo Schweizer unleashed his creative ingenuity while working on the Giulietta e Romeo tableware collection.
The set of plates is made of ceramic and covered with gilding. The idea is that the plates can be assembled into a perfect sphere that will brighten up any interior.
This golden color fits perfectly into any environment and can be combined with different colors. The noble and timeless metal will always be in trend, regardless of preferences. In modern classics or trendy eclecticism, gold is considered a magical addition to style and a value that has stood the test of time.

UK Baroness Uddin Uses GJC Legal Arguements in House of Lords Debate to Call for end to Discriminatory Care of Women Raped in Conflict
In her statement last Thursday, the UK House of Lords’ Baroness Uddin used a new legal argument from the Global Justice Center to call for the end to the routine denial of access to abortions for women who are raped and impregnated in conflict. Baroness Uddin identified the United States policy of censoring humanitarian aid recipients from speaking about or providing access to abortions as playing a major role in the continuing violation of the rights of these victims and called on the UK to ask questions of the United States about this policy when it is reviewed by the UN Human Rights Council.
From UK House of Lords debate on the Millennium Development Goals, October 7, 2010, at link below, columns 307-308:
Baroness Uddin: My Lords, I, too, thank the noble Lord, Lord Chidgey, for initiating this important discussion. In the UK we should be rightly proud of the British leadership in advancing the millennium development goals which represent a vision of a world transformed where equality and justice prevail.
However, while we are very pleased, one group of women remains outside the MDG effort. Until we address this failure, we cannot speak of real progress. Today I ask our Government to call explicitly for girls and women who are forcibly impregnated by the vicious use of rape in armed conflict to be included under MDG 5-reducing maternal mortality. “Rape as a weapon of war” is a phrase commonly used accurately to describe what is happening alongside today’s armed conflicts, but we rarely speak about the consequences of this weapon. Thousands of girls and women impregnated by rape used as a weapon of war are routinely denied access to abortions. Girls and women die from their attempts to self-abort and from suicide resulting from untold stigmatization leading to social marginalization.
We should do what no other country has done: to ensure that the humanitarian medical aid provided to girls and women in places such as Congo, Sudan and Burma-an endless list of countries-gives them choices and access to abortion when pregnancy is a direct result of rape as a weapon of war. This is a moral imperative and a legal obligation. The Geneva Convention requires that civilians and combatant victims receive non-discriminatory medical care, whether it is provided by the state in conflict or by others. Why, then, are pregnant rape victims given discriminatory medical care through the routine denial of access to abortion? The embedded inequality towards women in conflict settings has been recognised by the Security Council in such historic resolutions as 1325 and 1820. Equal justice for women is not limited to the courtroom, it must be extended to supporting those women who are victims of the inhuman practice of rape as a weapon of war.
I draw the attention of the House to the recent report of the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative and Oxfam, which details examples of the impact, stigma and suffering of raped children and women in Congo, Sudan and elsewhere, where no legal provision exists to support them. It also mentions that women should be given preventive care-that is, utilisation of contraception-as though women who are raped can be prepared for such horrors.
One of the solutions proposed by women’s organisations, including the international human rights organisation the Global Justice Center, is that access to abortion must be a critical part of the support available to women. The centre filed a shadow report with the Human Rights Council asking it to recommend that the US remove the prohibitions put on humanitarian aid to rape victims in conflict, as it violates the US obligation under the Geneva Convention. The UK can and must support this issue by asking questions of the US during the council’s review process due shortly.
I know that these are difficult matters for many individuals and countries to address, and international donor communities have thus far resisted pressurising countries to review their policies. Neither criminal abortion laws in the conflict state nor foreign aid contracts with the United States can serve as defence to a state provision of discriminatory medical care to all victims under international humanitarian law.
Time is short, and I should have liked to highlight many examples of countries such as Bangladesh where the suffering and humiliation of rape has left decades of suffering, ill health and stigma. The UK must take a lead to end that discrimination. This will mark real progress towards the millennium development goals and towards ensuring equal rights for women under international humanitarian law.

$GLD has been in a “NoGo” trend since mid May.
However, we have noted that it had been able to find support at the horizontal level drawn on the chart. This week that is no longer true. That level failed to hold as support and price has broken below. We were watching GoNoGo Oscillator to see if the zero line would offer resistance as it has for several weeks and it did just that. This told us that momentum was resurgent in the direction of the “NoGo” trend, giving price the push it needed to move through support. A measured move target sends price down to the prior low we see on the chart, around $168 for $GLD.

This April 22nd millions of people around the globe will be celebrating Earth Day, an event designed to shine light on the serious environmental issues we are facing, from climate crisis to air pollution and deforestation.
But what is Earth Day? How can you celebrate this year?
Earth Day was started in America in 1970 by Senator Gaylord Nelson, the junior senator from Wisconsin. Senator Nelson was concerned for the overall health of the planet and the deteriorating environment in the United States. Before the early 1960’s, many people were oblivious to air pollution and the effect leaded gas from their automobiles had on the climate and the ozone layer. However, the author Rachel Carson published a book in 1962 called “Silent Spring” and this book represented the spark of interest and public awareness for living organisms, the environment, and the effects of pollution on health.
After a massive oil spill in Santa Barbara in 1969, Nelson took inspiration from the student’s anti-war movement and wanted to infuse the energy of student protests with an emerging public concern about air and water pollution. He announced to the national media about his idea to hold a teach-in on college campuses to better educate the students about the decline in environmental health and inspire the next generation. In order to maximise student participation, they selected April 22—a Wednesday that fell between Spring Break and Final Exams—and they hired young activist Denis Hayes to plan the campus teach-ins.
By the end of 1970, the first Earth Day had resulted in other ground-breaking environmental laws as well as the establishment of the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
Denis Hayes was approached by a group of environmental leaders as 1990 drew near to organise yet another significant campaign for the environment. This time, Earth Day mobilised 200 million people across 141 nations, bringing environmental issues to the forefront of international politics.
What about Earth Day 2023?
More than a billion people worldwide observe Earth Day each year as a day of action to change human behaviour and bring about changes to global, national, and local policy. It is now largely acknowledged as the largest secular commemoration in the world.
Earth Day 23 follows the release of yet another assessment from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of the United Nations in March, which was referred to as a "final warning" by researchers.
The theme for this year is “Invest In Our Planet”, continuing on the same theme from 2022. It is an appeal for organisations, companies, and people to make investments in the future of the world.
This Earth Day, there are thousands of activities happening across the world. With the help of this map, you may research local events or even plan your own. The organisers of Earth Day have compiled a variety of suggestions for observing the celebration from planting trees to taking part in The Great Global Clean-up campaign.

I wish the example of this law was for someone who contributed to medicine or science in an exemplary way, and not simply rugby.
I understand the audience of this thread, but i hate how athletes are placed on the pedestal and we don't acknowledge those who quietly contribute so much more to society.
I can't think of too many occupations that are as effected by a natural non-inclination to be resident for 4 years. Perhaps medical volunteers to overseas charities? Generally though, in both medicine or science, an expat is going to be thinking about qualifying for a different passport.
Completely understand your thinking all the same.

In early February Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced that in April he planned to introduce the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act (CAOA).
At an event in New York City, Sen. Schumer stated, “In the coming weeks, we’re ramping up our outreach—and we expect to introduce final legislation. Our goal is to do it in April. Then we begin the nationwide push, spearheaded by New York, to get the federal law done. As majority leader, I can set priorities. This is a priority for me.”
A draft of the legislation was released in mid-July 2021. The main components of the legislation would deschedule cannabis on a federal level, expunge prior marijuana convictions, allow those convicted of marijuana crimes to petition for resentencing, and maintain the authority of the states to create their own marijuana laws and policies.
When a draft of the legislation was announced in July, Sen. Schumer stated, “The War on Drugs has too often been a war on people, and particularly people of color. Not only will this legislation remove cannabis from the federal list of controlled substances, but it will also help fix our criminal justice system, ensure restorative justice, protect public health, and implement responsible taxes and regulations.”
To help with restorative measures, the legislation would impose a federal tax on marijuana products. Some of the earned taxes would go toward funding grant programs created to support people most impacted by prohibitive marijuana laws.
In response to Sen. Schumer’s announcement, Morgan Fox, Political Director for NORML, a marijuana advocacy group, stated, “We are enthusiastic that the Senator is moving forward on his promise to prioritize cannabis policy reform in the 117th Congress. It is our hope that the official introduction of CAOA jumpstarts hearings and debates in the Upper Chamber — debates that are long overdue.”

Hydrogen could be the future when it comes to heating our homes, but in order to achieve large scale deployment of the energy carrier in domestic settings, technical barriers to blending hydrogen in natural gas pipelines need to be addressed.
This is something that is now being focused on in North America with the launch of a two-year long HyBlend project, which will assess hydrogen compatibility with pipeline materials and operations and deliver information on long-term impacts.
The US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory on Thursday (Jan 6) confirmed it is leading the project, along with the participation from Sandia National Laboratories, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the National Energy Technology Laboratory.
More than 30 additional stakeholders from industry, non-profits and academic are also already supporting the government-private industry effort. Companies supporting the project include ConocoPhili0ps, Xcel Energy, Boardwalk Pipelines and more.

When it comes to winding filters, many customers are familiar with it. This equipment is mainly used for fresh air pre-filtration in sewage treatment plants and central ventilation systems. Because of its obvious advantages, the device is favored by users. Today, we invite senior product engineers from Ixio to share the unique features of the equipment. We hope that after the introduction, everyone will have more understanding to purchase this product.
l Unique technology: It has many advantages compared with the traditional primary filter. The technical principle adopted by the filter adds a lot of technical content, which is in line with the characteristics of modern equipment. Gradually replace human labor with automation. Adopt the filter medium to absorb the solid, liquid and gaseous components that need to be filtered, the filtering effect is obvious, the particle size is 8um, and the filtering efficiency is ≥95% ;
l High working efficiency: The equipment uses patented technology and the method of air turbulence reverse cleaning, so that there is no clogging problem due to the viscosity of the filter material, and there is no need to use chemicals for cleaning. Through the PLC automatic control program, from the end of the installation of the equipment to the exhaustion of the entire roll of filter material, there is no need for any personnel to participate. The filter material is automatically replaced when the preset value is reached. If the motor fails, it will automatically alarm, and there will be a voice switch when the filter material is exhausted. Notify personnel to replace a new roll of filter material, and the reserved signal interface can also monitor the on-site operation in the main control room. Work process monitoring is much simpler, PLC is accurate and reliable, and the failure rate is low. It is a good application to replace plate air filters.
l High quality: The quality of any equipment is directly related to the service life of the equipment. The quality of the winding filter is quite reliable. From the selection of raw materials to the production and processing, each link has a special quality inspector. Only when the standard is reached It will be on the market, so the quality of this equipment is quite reliable. If it is used normally and correctly, it can reach more than ten years, which greatly extends the service life, reduces the number of subsequent maintenance, and reduces the maintenance cost.
l Simple and convenient operation: Although the wound air filter is a kind of high-tech equipment, the operation method of this equipment is very simple. Even users who use it for the first time can easily use the PLC provided by our company after being familiar with it several times. The control panel performs various technical confirmations and parameter adjustments. The remaining unrolled times of the filter material and the relevant parameters for replacing the filter material in the future can be queried on the control screen. Combining with the product manual provided by Ecolead can easily get to the core of technical operation, easy operation and maintenance.
l Reasonable price: Although the advantages of so many winding filters have been analyzed, if the initial investment is too high and customers cannot accept the price, Ecolead winding filters will not be able to open the market and achieve good results. Our company’s price positioning is very reasonable, with high quality and low price. It has truly achieved a cost-effective effect, which is acceptable to most users, and it has really helped users solve many problems.
The above is a brief introduction to the winding filter. The unique characteristics of this equipment, I believe that through the above analysis, it will be helpful to everyone. If users need to purchase Ecolead wound air filters, please feel free to contact our sales staff. Our company has reached long-term strategic cooperation with many water companies, environmental protection engineering companies, blower manufacturers, and air-conditioning manufacturers. We look forward to your call.

HAWAII'S INEFFECTIVE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION CAN'T GET THE JOB DONE FOR HAWAII
News Release from Hawaii Republican Party
HONOLULU (July 9, 2015) - Fritz Rohlfing, State Chair of the Hawaii Republican Party, released the statement regarding today's announcement of the significant cuts and structure realignment of U.S. Army troops in Hawaii:
"Today’s announcement by the U.S. Army that it is cutting 1,214 soldiers and several hundred Stryker armored vehicles from Schofield Barracks, along with 229 soldiers from Fort Shafter, further demonstrates the urgent need for Hawaii to have representation in the congressional Republican majority.
"Our exclusively Democratic congressional delegation just isn’t getting the job done and is ranked the least effective congressional delegation in the United States by Roll Call newspaper. As Representative Tulsi Gabbard has candidly pointed out, Hawaii could face deeper reductions if across-the-board federal budget cuts continue.”

Badger Creek Fire Post Update
8 July 2018
Was looking at the weather forecast on KCWY News 13. Our thoughts are with the men and women still up there working the fire.
Gosh I can’t imagine what the men and women are having to go thru as they continue working on the Badger Creek Fire west of Laramie.
According to Rocky Mountain Incident Management Team site the fire is 90 percent contained. Yea.. they are making progress
Just wanted to throw out a really big thank you to the men and women on the fire line.
Your service, hard work getting the job done is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
17 June 2018
Douglas, Wyoming has been concerned for those who have been touched by the effects of the Badger Creek Fire. We wanted to help out the young women and men on the front line as the fire went from a few acres to many thousands of acres.
Here To Help Foundation of Wyoming has started a fire donation drive to collect items to help the fire fighters.
Through word of mouth and social media the wave has started.
When we arrived in Laramie we found that the authorities had closed the roads and access to the fire camp was not possible.
We attended a meeting that took place at the Laramie Fair Grounds.
Rocky Mountain Incident Management Team provided information to the public and those who have been effected by the fire. Details concerning fire fighting progress and information for those who had to be evacuated.
After the meeting I ran into a local volunteer fire fighter who had set up facilities at his shop where donations could be dropped off.
Thank you Tracy for helping us get our donations to the fire camp.
Thank you and those you serve with for your much needed service.

These two treatises discuss and examine the various aspects of fasting and contribute to serving this great pillar of Islam, written by two eminent scholars; both from the blessed land of Shām. The first is by Shaykh ʿAbd-Allāh Sirāj al-Dīn from Aleppo, Syria, wherein the author examines the wisdom behind fasting: its obligation, etiquette, requirements, benefits and virtues. It includes a detailed discussion on Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of the Divine Decree), exploring its derivation, significance and virtues.
The second is by the late Ḥanafī scholar from Damascus, Shaykh Hishām Burhānī, and primarily deals with the legal aspects of fasting: its rulings in accordance with the Ḥanafī school of Islamic jurisprudence. They serve as a means to providing the believer with indispensable knowledge of this pillar so that he may maximise in reaping the reward and benefit from the blessed month of Ramadan; in the words of the author Shaykh Hishām Burhānī, ‘Allah has not legislated for us this compulsory hunger every year for an entire month except that each individual should achieve the spiritual, health and social benefits which the legislation of fasting contains.’
