Amyntas III (or II), (died 370/369 bce), king of Macedonia from about 393 to 370/369 bce. His skillful diplomacy created a minor role for Macedonia in Greek affairs and prepared the way for its emergence as a great power under his son Philip II (ruled 359–336).
Amyntas came to the throne during the disorders that plagued Macedonia after the death of the powerful king Archelaus (ruled c. 413–399). Amyntas soon had to fight off attacks by the Illyrians (of present-day Albania) and by the Chalcidian League, a confederation of cities of the Chalcidice peninsula. The threat from the latter was removed when intervention by Sparta led to the dissolution of the league in 379. Amyntas continued to maintain his independence by siding with the powers ascendant in Greece, including first Athens and then Thessaly, under its tyrant Jason of Pherae (ruled c. 385–370). | <urn:uuid:784a4bbe-b626-4ebd-b887-a43abf1d3f3e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.britannica.com/biography/Amyntas-III | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572304.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816120802-20220816150802-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.962404 | 208 | 3.875 | 4 |
Internet Kill Switches – How your Business Can Use Them
As is often the case in the tech world, businesses got the good tech first. Large corporations were the first to use VPNs, powerful privacy and encryption tools, many years before everyone else to better secure their data transfers.
While VPNs, which are much more widely available to any business of any size, are a great tool they are not 100% foolproof.When you’re vetting a VPN for our business, take the time to look at whether it has a feature called one of the following:
VPN kill switch
Internet kill switch
Secure IP Bind
Or something of that nature which is designed to protect you if VPN server connections are dropped.
What do you use a kill switch for?
The best VPN clients all have a kill switch feature built into them. It’s job is to monitor your IP address and immediately cut your entire access to the Internet when the IP address changes suddenly. Why? Because a sudden IP address change indicates a lost connection to a VPN server, and the exposure of your personal information.
This means that while you’re connected to the VPN, everything was going fine. Then, unfortunately, for any number of reasons, the connection dropped. If the file transfer you were doing, of confidential data, were to continue you data would be exposed. A kill switch completely disables all Internet traffic coming from your computer. This protects your data.
Examples of VPN kill switches
There are two ways to go about getting a VPN kill switch. The most difficult way, and one which could prove difficult for your remote workers who need it, is called ‘rolling your own.’ It involves downloading a script, executing it on your computer, and then connecting your VPN through it. Impossible? No. More work than it needs to be? Yes.
Your other alternative it to use a VPN which simply has this feature already built into it. An example would be IPVanish’s kill switch, which you simply have to select with a checkmark to turn on in the settings tab:
Or even Hide My Ass who have theirs in a similar tab, but call it ‘Secure IP Bind.’ If I were you, I’d make sure that a VPN kill switch was part of the VPN I was purchasing. This makes installing it, and instructing your employees and co workers on its use, much easier.
Remember that not everyone you work with is a tech wiz. Choosing a tool which eliminates a step in your digital security will make it much more likely to be used properly, and successfully.
When would you even want to use a kill switch?
There are still many in the business industry who don’t see the point of having a VPN, let alone a kill switch. They fail to see that your data is at its most vulnerable when it’s being transferred across public network (which, again, we call The Internet). This includes everything from files you’re emailing, to Google Docs you’re sharing.
The most important times to have a VPN with a kill switch includes:
Transfers between offices: The very first VPNs were created exactly for this purpose. You have another office, you want to send them data, but you can’t create a private network with your own infrastructure. So you use a VPN over the public infrastructure, and have a kill switch ready incase anything goes wrong.
Conventions: You send your employees to meet with other businesses, and get them to pull up data from the home servers as part of their presentations. Great, good luck getting that business! But do you know that places like this a rife with corporate espionage from competitors looking to steal a few files, or hackers trying to steal password keys and customer data? The VPN encrypts it, the kill switch is the backup in case of failure.
Informal connections: Every Friday the company has a meeting at the local Starbucks. Tasty. Order me a chai latte and a pumpkin scone. So you pull up some data on your tablet from the work servers to discuss with the team …but do you know for sure that your connection is secure? Is the patron using inferior encryption, like WEP, which is easy to hack? Of course you don’t, but a VPN will have high encryption standards like 256-bit government standard encryption, with the VPN there to once again save you if the connection drops.
I am certain that at one point or another your company has been in one of these positions. Without reliable encryption your data was exposed, and you’ll never know who came across it.
Give your employees the right tools to protect your business
The weakest point in any digital security plan is people. If you give people the right tools, and make them easy to use, the chances are much greater that they’ll use them, and use them correctly.
A VPN with strong encryption to protect you while it’s working, and a kill switch to protect you when it’s not, is a sure way to set your employees and coworker up for success. With hackers everywhere looking for one weak spot, you need to take greater precautions with your data, and secure it as well as you can at all times.

Title: Porting a Proof of Concept C code into universal python exploit (OpenSSH).
When: Thursday 19th April 2018 at 18:30
OpenSSH lets you grant SFTP access to users without allowing full command execution using “ForceCommand internal-sftp”. However, if you misconfigure the server and don’t use ChrootDirectory, the user will be able to access all parts of the filesystem that he has access to – including procfs. On modern Linux kernels (>=2.6.39, I think), /proc/self/maps reveals the memory layout and /proc/self/mem lets you write to arbitrary memory positions.
This talk will provide an overview of the exploitation process for the OpenSSH vulnerability and the challenges and techniques used to create a universal exploit for 32 and 64 bit architectures.

This is a guest post for Silent London by Michelle Facey, a member of the programming team at the Kennington Bioscope.
Feeling a post-Easter ennui? Well, you could do no better than to ready your laughing gear and get yourselves down anywhichway to the Cinema Museum for all or part of a weekend of silent comedy fun 27-28th April, curated by us, especially for you, at the Kennington Bioscope.
This last week saw the 130th anniversary of the birth of Lambeth’s most famous son, the Little Fellow himself, Charlie Chaplin, and as many of you may know, the Cinema Museum is of some significance in his origin story. The Master’s House, home of the Museum in Kennington, was at one time, part of the Lambeth Workhouse where Chaplin was sent as a child, and we will be marking his birthday anniversary with several programmes. Respected Chaplin biographer David Robinson will introduce Charlie’s stone-cold classic silent film, The Gold Rush (1925), showing with its recorded score. Filmmaker, collector and editor, Christopher Bird, brings us his original 16mm amber prints of The Immigrant (1917) and The Vagabond (1918). And (tweet tweet) that little Bird has told me his copy of the former “looks gorgeous.”
Don’t tell me you missed the fact this year, this February in fact, we are celebrating 100 years of Charlie Chaplin’s Tramp. Kid Auto Races, Chaplin’s first screen appearance as the anarchic scruff, was released on 7 February 1914. It’s a cinematic centenary of the best kind – one that affords the opportunity for screenings of wonderful films and some clever-clever comment and analysis too. An event at the BFI Southbank on 4 February will add a little star power to proceedings, as well as some new insights into the Tramp and his creator.
This special event marks the centenary of the birth of Charlie Chaplin’s ‘little tramp’. One hundred years ago this week the iconic character first stepped in front of the camera at the Keystone studios. David Robinson, Chaplin’s official biographer, presents his latest thoughts on Chaplin and the tramp and celebrates the launch of his new book ‘The World of Limelight,’ commissioned by the Cineteca di Bologna, which draws on previously unpublished material from the Chaplin Archive.
Robinson will be launching his book at the event and I think copies will be on sale after the talk with perhaps a booksigning too. A particularly well-informed little bird tells me that Chaplin’s co-star in Limelight, English actress Claire Bloom, will be in attendance also. In fact, Robinson’s book is dedicated to her. Here’s a little more about the book:
Limelight was first cast not as a film script, but as a long novella, Footlights, with the supplementary Calvero’s Story. Both are here published for the very first time – the ultimate raison d’être of this volume. Out of these Chaplin extracted a screenplay which passed through several drafts before being transferred to the screen.
The accompanying commentary in this volume explores the documentary reality of the world which Chaplin recreated from his memories and evoked for posterity – London, the music hall and ballet at the end of an era, the outbreak of the First World War. The book is illustrated with images from the author’s own collection, and reproductions of documents and photographs from the Chaplin archives, which clearly depict the development of the film LIMELIGHT that David Robinson so intricately describes.
This is a guest post by Ayşe Behçet for Silent London.
Welcome back for another edition of Charlie’s London. This week I am going to be talking about my debut appearance on the Silent London Podcast, as well as my recent trip to the thoroughly mindblowing Il Cinema Ritrovato festival in Bologna, Italy
Being a Chaplin fan you are never short of on-screen comedy capers to keep you entertained, but when someone tells you you can visit the Charlie Chaplin Archive in Bologna, Italy should you be in the area, well you don’t really have to think twice. My partner Kieran and I took a 6am flight to Bologna so that I could visit the archive, but also so we could enjoy the Il Cinema Ritrovato festival too.
At the Cineteca in Bologna we registered for the archive and the festival. All around us everyone complained about the heat, but being half Turkish I didn’t really mind. No sooner had we sat down for a coffee, my phone began to ping, it was Jenny, a fellow festival-goer who had not only made the journey to Bologna but was also staying in the same hotel as us. Pretty soon we were all together, along with Mark, another friend and great supporter of Bristol Silents looking over the festival plan.
Initially I began to look over the schedule from Wednesday to Friday, because I was due to be in the archives Monday and Tuesday, but this turned out this was a pointless exercise. In the end, I was in the archive until Friday morning and in total saw only five films at the festival. The film that left the biggest impression on me was the new restoration of The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. Mark had told me many times before that it was a film I would enjoy, not only because I have a soft spot for Technicolor but because I have spent a lot of time researching the first and second world wars. He wasn’t wrong! It was a feast of restored beauty, history and irony.
My biggest adventure came on Monday when I finally got to visit the Chaplin archives. Everything has been digitised to make viewing incredibly easy. The staff are so helpful and friendly, even with the busy festival under way in the grounds. Before I knew it I was engrossed, flicking through pages and pages of useful and exciting documents all relevant to a massive piece of research I am undertaking. Kate Guyonvarch, Kevin Brownlow and of course David Robinson all were there to give me a helping hand: their support was priceless. Imagine, as I have done, having read someone’s work since you were 11 years old, only to find them standing behind you in an archive and clarifying a sentence in one of their books that you want to quote in your research! That what David Robinson did, and he refreshed my memory on something I had a mental block on. After many cups of lovely Italian coffee and long chats I had more than 40 pages to take back to England: the tip of the iceberg had been scratched.
Bologna is a long way from South London! Charlie’s London had very much gone continental. Here is where my biggest conundrum lay – you can’t just take a bus to these archives. I knew I had so much I wanted to look at, but I was meant to be at a film festival, what was a girl to do? Luckily enough I have a very supportive partner who smiled and told me to book more time in the archives. So, what started as two days ended up being the whole week, and it was worth it! I discovered so much more about my hero.
This is a guest post by Ayşe Behçet for Silent London.
Welcome back for the next instalment of Charlie’s London. In this segment I am looking at the Lambeth Workhouse, an institution that Chaplin spent some time as a youngster. But unlike in the previous chapters of this blog, which focus on either my connections with Charlie or the places our paths have crossed, I want to look at a fantastic event that really brought home to me the importance of keeping his memory alive.
For me, who had grown up in South London, loving Chaplin, knowing this very building was the old Lambeth Workhouse and of course reading Robinson’s biography of Chaplin since I was 11 years old, this event was really the final piece in the jigsaw. I was 10 when I first saw the biopic Chaplin starring Robert Downey Jnr. I had wanted to read more about Chaplin’s life, and so ventured to the local library with my nan, where I uncovered Robinson’s book. I can remember sitting on a stool in the library stool while my nan browsed, my elbows rested on the table while my hands were placed firmly on my jaw line, head transfixed in the book. Everyone always tells me they know when my concentration level is at its highest: I swing my legs like a crazy person or bite my bottom lip as I read. Well, according to my nan this is exactly what I did.
I borrowed the book for two weeks and read the whole thing. I was hooked. For my birthday I asked for my own copy – Mum couldn’t quite understand why, especially as I had not long finished the library copy. I just knew, even at that age that I would want to read it over and over again. Now, 18 years later, it’s still sitting there on my shelf. I have used it for references, quotes, even to solve arguments – it has always been my true companion on my Chaplin journey. Of course, I understand the book very better now as a grown woman than I did as a child, with life comes greater understanding. Yet I will never forget asking my nan what certain words meant and if she had heard of the actors and actresses mentioned in the books. Did she remember any of the events and of course what was it like to actually see a Chaplin film in the cinema? Her stories always fascinated me!
The first time I met David Robinson was at the 2012 Slapstick Festival in Bristol. It was January and traditionally cold and miserable, but the festival cheered up every dreary day. Robinson gave two presentations that weekend, one on Chaplin’s life and one showing shorts and clips from some of his most memorable films. I watched in fascination at the first event, which I remember being 9am on the Saturday morning. It was everything I loved and adored about Chaplin, his London and how it affected him; his controversies and how he reacted to them. Well, after nearly 20 years and quite a bit of courage I finally got to talk to Robinson, and if I ever felt his book was an inspiration I can promise anyone who reads this that the man himself it so much more. Through him I have met some amazing and interesting people: I have continued a journey I started as a small child and I have felt very privileged in many ways. I wouldn’t have half the material I have in my blog without him, that’s for sure.
So this blog post has been rather sentimental, not that the others have really been anything else! And of course I have quoted Robinson and mentioned him before. But it is no exaggeration that you cannot possibly research Chaplin without having his biography constantly on hand. For me, being sat in the very room where Charlie and Sydney Chaplin spent such hard times, listening to David and remembering my roots, I truly felt I had come home. London never leaves you. Getting off the tube at the Elephant and walking down towards Renfrew Road; seeing the Imperial War Museum in the background; remembering the stories I grew up on – all these things remind me of the person I really am. Your home and your birth make up a large part of who you are. My nan always taught me that, and just as Robinson said in his reminiscence that Chaplin had always been in his life because of his father’s love of his films, so has he (and Robinson) very much always been in mine. I truly hope that this will always continue!
Thank you so much for taking time to read this blog spot, normal Chaplinesque service will be resumed in two weeks’ time when we will venture back to the workhouse once more to give some context to our hero and his life in London, as well as its use now as a fantastic gem of a museum. | <urn:uuid:088715b2-91bb-48df-9815-def22f1d6f4d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://silentlondon.co.uk/tag/david-robinson/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572161.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815054743-20220815084743-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.97884 | 2,563 | 1.835938 | 2 |
In one week, classrooms across the Indiana University Bloomington campus will be filled with students, syllabi will be handed out, and expectations will be set for fall semester classes.
For faculty, graduate students and instructors across campus, teaching courses is often one of many professional responsibilities. Luckily, the IU Bloomington Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning equips instructors with several tools to make their time in the classroom efficient, effective and fulfilling.
"Faculty members and graduate students are passionate about their subject areas and want to be able to share that passion with others," said Katherine Kearns, lead instructional consultant for the center. "We hope to help instructors create those great days in the classroom."
As the beginning of the school year draws nearer, here are five ways instructors can use the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning for a successful semester.
It's easy for instructors to become siloed in their schools and departments once the chaos of the school year sets it, but they have a lot to learn from their peers in different disciplines, Kearns said. That's why the center offers Faculty Learning Communities and Graduate Student Learning Communities. These groups gather to discuss teaching, test innovations, assess student learning and publish scholarship about their work.
The groups center on themes such as global learning, classroom inclusion, how to engage students in a large class and more. Beyond encouraging instructors to reflect and improve on teaching, these groups can help graduate students and faculty build interdisciplinary networks across the campus.
End-of-semester course evaluations can provide instructors with useful information, but sometimes that feedback comes too little too late. The center encourages instructors to get a pulse on how students are feeling about the class at a mid-point during the semester, allowing for adjustments and improvements before the semester ends.
Looking for this feedback can show students their instructors' commitment to improving teaching, help instructors gain targeted feedback when trying a new teaching method and prevent unpleasant surprises in end-of-semester evaluations. Instructors can use the center's online guide for creating a mid-semester evaluation or schedule a one-on-one consultation for help creating or discerning the results of evaluations.
Classroom observations and feedback
It's nearly impossible for instructors to see how every student in a class is reacting or engaging with material while they are teaching, but representatives from the center are available to stand in as a second pair of eyes and ears.
Through the center's class observation opportunity, instructional consultants use research-based methods to provide feedback on classroom instruction. This exercise can promote instructors' growth as teachers, are completely confidential and can be conducted without fear of affecting relationships within departments.
Course Development Institutes
Teaching a new course this semester? Looking for a way to revitalize one you've been teaching for years? The center is here to help with Course Development Institutes, groups of instructors who meet in multiple sessions to help one another develop or improve courses.
They are all offered free of charge for instructors of any rank, from any discipline or department, and can be useful for instructors teaching online courses, large courses or small to medium-sized courses.
Exercises for equity in the classroom
As a public institution, Indiana University has a duty to offer equal access to education for anyone and everyone. Ensuring equity in diverse classrooms and approaching difficult or controversial material can require instructors to think outside their own experiences.
Beyond hosting a wide array of diversity and inclusion resources on its website, the center offers one-on-one and group consultations and trainings to help instructors recognize their own implicit biases and understand how diverse perspectives can affect student learning.
Instructors interested in finding a community of passionate teachers and innovative ideas for reinvigorating courses can find more information about the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning by filling out a consultation request form or calling 812-855-9023. | <urn:uuid:2d1883f5-ff7a-41e9-900d-0ecb9a5b579c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://news.iu.edu/stories/2018/08/iub/inside/13-five-ways-to-use-center-for-innovative-teaching-and-learning.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.930552 | 799 | 1.9375 | 2 |
Did you ever wonder what are you going to do with all the free time when you are a senior citizen? Well, you might as well become a programmer, at least if you are Masako Wakamiya, an 81-year-old Japanese woman, who learned to code from scratch and produced her very own mobile app called Hinadan. It is based on a traditional Japanese holiday Girls’ Day and is a very simple game where a player arranges dolls in a specific order. Correct and incorrect moves are accompanied by beeping sounds.
Wakamiya bought her first computer at 60 when she was forced to retire after 43 years of service at a major bank. At a TEDxTokyo talk she gave in 2014, she described how she set up the computer completely on her own and began chatting online, an experience which gave her a new sense of purpose. She now operates an adorable website full of Excel art tutorials and other guides for senior computer users.
You can download the game from Apple store for free. Japanese superstition suggests that to leave the dolls on display past the 4th of March is unlucky and will result in the household’s daughter marrying late, but the dolls seen in Masako’s foray into the gaming world are probably an exception.

TopEndSTS Symposium: Collaborative knowledge work in northern Australia
1pm – 6.30pm
Thursday 15 November, 2018
Charles Darwin University, Casuarina campus, Blue 2A.1.01
The TopEndSTS Symposium showcases place-based research projects which draw on tools and resources from STS in the areas of:
- policy and evaluation
- human/nonhuman entanglements
- language and education
Science and Technology Studies (STS) is a field of research that unpicks the assumptions embedded in Western knowledge traditions, and provides resources for new forms of situated interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary research work.
This half-day symposium brings together post-graduate students, early career researchers, and senior scholars from CDU to explore the question: What is collaborative knowledge work in northern Australia?
From 5.30-6.30pm a closing keynote will be presented by Michael Christie on ‘Languages and Yolŋu Ground Up Research: The metaphysics of translation and interpreting’
This is a free event that may be of interest to government staff, educators, language workers, environmental managers and academic staff working in the Northern Territory.
SESSION 1 (1.00 – 2.30pm) POLICY AND EVALUATION
We begin with an arrival story. Not the sort of arrival story that is really an invasion story though, like “The Arrival of Captain Cook”. This story is inspired by the arrival stories I have heard my Yolngu friends tell, and sing and dance. I use this inspiration with great respect and utmost care, for listening and watching those stories I saw what generative arrival stories can do.
The time and place of arrival of what would become TopEnd STS, is Batchelor Institute in the late 1980s, and the bag that STS was hidden in was called ‘Maths Education and its Philosophies’. In my short talk I will wonder about what it has become.
This paper begins with a story of mutual misunderstanding and disconcertment which arose during a conversation between senior Anangu (Indigenous people of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in South Australia) and Piranpa (nonAnangu) land managers about what does, and does not constitute land management work. The story comes from my experience as a research student living in the APY Lands for six months in 2014 and 2015. During this time I developed relationships with Anangu Traditional Owners, learnt cursory Pitjantjatjara (language) and worked with APY Land Management to develop discussions and understandings about Anangu ways of measuring effectiveness in land management. The story points to an interesting moment in the everyday practice of collaborative Indigenous land management, with this moment exemplary of many such moments that arise when working with different ways of knowing and doing ‘country’ and ‘management’. For both the Anangu women and the Piranpa land manager, collaborative land management includes relations of authority, remuneration, and responsibility. By detailing this empirical work we hope to strengthen intercultural land management. The story highlights the complexity of ‘going on together’ with different knowledges, practices and beliefs. Our differences provide a constant site of tension, which cannot simply be ‘resolved’ through the rigid application of protocols, guidelines and principles. Rather, sensitivity, good faith and skilled practice is required to collaboratively enact Country.
The Integrated Services Program (ISP) is designed and delivered by Tangentyere Council (www.tangentyere.org.au), an Aboriginal organisation in Alice Springs. The program grew out of past programs delivering alcohol support services for Aboriginal people. It is difficult even to fully describe the services delivered under the ISP which are animated by a logic quite foreign to the world of services delivery markets. This leads to painful puzzles and serious problems in evaluating the program. In Australian services delivery markets, services delivery products are required to include elaborate plans for evaluative processes. The evaluation, as defined by the ISP funding contract defines two key types of program evaluation. First, an assessment of whether the program is working—in terms defined by the funding body (the state) which includes a requirement for enumeration. Second evaluation in terms that can inform the iterative re-design and development of the program itself is required. This paper begins with narration of a series of vignettes which will be followed by commentary that attempts to articulate an approach that might be called good-faith evaluation. This will include a discussion of Verran’s approach to understanding the generation of numbers.
(with Endre Dányi) A turn to practices has become a popular analytic move in policy studies. Many scholars have pointed out that policy-making and implementation need to be studied as interrelated practices that participate in the making of ‘the world’ (Freeman and Sturdy 2015, Gill et al. 2017, Ureta 2015). However, there has been less discussion about policy contexts where different worlds (cosmologies, ontologies, normativities) meet. In this paper we tell such a story of on ground policy research focused around means for evaluating government engagement in remote Northern Territory Aboriginal communities. Located within community meetings where government and Aboriginal community members interact, these evaluation processes were designed both as interventions into business-as-usual, and as means for providing feedback on moments where differing governance practices intersect. We argue that accounting for these dual and situated evaluation practices involves an analytic shift to an engagement with cosmopolicy-in-practice.
SESSION 2 (2.45 – 3.45pm) HUMAN/NON-HUMAN ENTANGLEMENTS
Gravel is not the first material that comes to mind in debates about resource extraction in northern Australia. Attention is usually focused on large and controversial developments and their unstable relationship with Indigenous property rights and the environmental movement (Neale and Vincent) – coal mines, uranium mines, rare earth mines, and shale gas exploration and production using “hydraulic fracturing” processes. But this quotidian resource is ubiquitous in the north – gravel is the key material scaffolding the bulk of the Northern Territory’s remote road network (which is itself described as an essential agent of more and better “northern development”), and searing heat and monsoonal deluges in the tropical north mean demand for it is unceasing and likely to increase with the infrastructural impacts of climate change. But, like larger scale subterranean extraction, obtaining and utilizing this apparently apolitical extractive resource conceals a web of regulatory regimes, scientific debates, environmental impacts, Indigenous land access issues and development controversies. In this paper, I reflect on recent ethnographic research with some of the “experts” associated with gravel extraction in the north – staff at the Northern Land Council, the Indigenous organisation tasked with responding to applications for gravel extraction agreements on Aboriginal land owned under Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 (Cth). I explore what an analysis of gravel, including the role of expertise in its extraction and utilization, can tell us about the often vexed interface of Indigenous land rights and development in the north of Australia.
Adaptive management (AM) is a prominent approach to ecosystem management, policy and planning. AM suggests that many management problems can only be solved through experience, and therefore that management actions should be structured as scientific experiments to enable ‘learning-by-doing.’ However, the AM literature has struggled to account theoretically for the dilemmas faced by those enacting AM in complex real-world situations. We address this gap by using contemporary practice theory to articulate a novel practice perspective on AM. We use our practice perspective, rooted in pragmatic philosophy and relational thinking, to interpret the activities of a group of scientists tasked with developing an AM approach to the restoration of threatened vegetation in an Australian National Park. A practice perspective enables us to trace in real-time the myriad improvised, situated, practical judgments employed by the scientists to navigate the tricky dilemmas they encounter. We thus highlight the active, open-ended nature of applied ecological work, and reveal the tacit labour and embodied experience that produces and sustains AM. In so doing, we contribute to ongoing theoretical efforts within the environmental and sustainability sciences to develop relational approaches to human-nature interactions. We also contribute to applied efforts to improve the practice of AM by drawing out the implications of our approach for project evaluation, the roles of ecologists and managers, and the use of ecological information in management.
This paper offers intradisciplinary understandings of complex, evolving relationships and dimensions between humans, more-than-humans and digital technologies. These matrices are being conceived of as maverick performances in the theatre of Darwin Harbour, remote Northern Australia. I engage with an emergent, performance ethnography, interrogating human agency and how humans co-design and perform with/without digital technologies in this locale. In this local investigation, I witness fringe theatre that takes place amongst transnational ‘common ground’: hybrid corporeal bodies—that process and perform, co-opt and confound—data and digital technologies. Here, data becomes embodied in multivalent ways, re-designed, re-interpreted or re-purposed arbitrarily according to physical environment, culture and intentions. A re-performance of some of this collaborative, co-produced data will be made in this presentation.
SESSION 3 (4.00 – 5.00pm) LANGUAGE AND EDUCATION
The doing of sciences in places at the margins of modernity, where different epistemic cultures meet, requires a careful rethink of scientific practices, both the premises upon which those practices are founded and sciences’ means for presenting their understandings and findings. Doing sciences at the margins requires us to attend to the assumptions we make when we practice our professions. It also requires reorientation of the way we approach both the actual doing of science and the communication of scientific knowledge to people whose assumptions, experiences and practices are different to our own. This paper seeks to examine the role of narrative in the doing of science and how a recognition and respect for narrative might help in the process of being more inclusive in our professional practice. A ‘narrative science’ may or may not change the methods involved in gathering and interpreting scientific knowledge, but it does seek to help us rethink our relationship to their use and recognise the cultural, social and constructed nature of our work. It opens a space for alternative ways of thinking and interpreting what we see and responding to the knowledge-making we do.
This presentation details two digital infrastructures presenting Indigenous Australian language materials – the Living Archive of Aboriginal Languages (containing digital versions of books created for bilingual education programs, available at http://livingarchive.cdu.edu.au/) and the Digital Language Shell (an online template for sharing Indigenous languages and culture, available at http://language-shell.cdu.edu.au/) – which I have worked with and helped to develop over a number of years. Reading these as boundary objects, I consider how these infrastructures support and facilitate the movement of knowledge between Indigenous and non-Indigenous creators and audiences. Part of this involves considering how the infrastructure networks of software, web design, language data, digital objects, books, curricula, etc., reconfigure existing knowledge artefacts into digital formats, which then take on new performativities in the online space. I will also consider how such representation of language practices in the digital realm may shape and problematise certain issues, both enabling and restricting the movement of knowledge between very different knowledge traditions. Drawing on stories from users, I begin to consider and open up some of the means by which these infrastructures promote transitional language work, and might continue do so in more explicit and informed ways.
This paper begins with an ethnographically self-reflective analysis triggered by a social scientist addressing the presenter (me) as a boundary object. I was at the time translating and facilitating interaction between Yolngu Indigenous Australian landowners in East Arnhemland in the Northern Territory, and practitioners of Western scientific knowledges—both natural scientists (hydrologists) and social scientists. We are all participants in a current Australian Research Council project – ‘Crosscultural management of freshwater in the Milingimbi community’ This story is a case study to empirically and intellectually situate the presenter (me) as a boundary object – an ‘object’ that mediates between two knowledge communities. Then I highlight a core Yolngu epistemic practice, introducing gurrutu (kinship) in which everyone and everything is a boundary object by virtue of being a relation. An allegory galimindirrk (brackish water) – a favoured Yolngu metaphor representing the idea of joining differing life-sources, will exhibit how Yolngu do differences together within a collective matrix of boundary objects. I will then explore what STS academics might learn from the Yolngu epistemic enactments in everyday and ceremonial contexts. I hope this might lead academics to reconsider boundary objects in new and different ways when thinking about the movements of knowledge.
KEYNOTE (5.30 – 6.30pm)
Indigenous research theorists often call for the ‘privileging of Indigenous voices’ in research. In this paper I look at one aspect of what this privileging has meant in our collaborative research with Yolŋu Aboriginal knowledge authorities. Starting with a few stories to do with translating and interpreting, and then looking at examples from education, health communication, housing, and the current issue of English in the Northern Territory parliament, I make clear how working effectively with Aboriginal knowledge authorities and their languages entails taking seriously the metaphysical commitments which go along with Aboriginal understandings of languages and how they work.

Big news from Mars this week, as the red planet prepares for a surge in tourist traffic by building the planet’s first traffic lights and even a full-scale replica of India itself to greet their latest visitors.
Could this be a sign the Martians have decided to welcome the flow of Earthlings? Or a space tourist trap?
Bizarre traffic lights were spotted for the first time on Mars this week while India’s Space Research Organization simultaneously announced today they have discovered what appears to be a full-scale replica of their home country in shadow on the surface of the planet.
Never seen before, the Martian traffic lights, circled in red here, appeared in a NASA photo sent by the Curiosity rover and while some observers believe the arrangement of rocks might be a totem and not a traffic light, Space Journalist Joe White insists it is a traffic light.
“I saw this one and I thought right away, ‘hang on that is a traffic light,” stated Joe White on his Youube channel ArtAlienTV.
At the same time, India’s new Mars mission announced they have discovered a full-scale recreation of their country on the surface of Mars.
“OMG India map on Mars!” wrote Saurabh Gupta with great excitement on the Indian Space Research Organizations Facebook page.
The outline of India appeared in shadow over a region of the planet known as Meridiani Planum and it remains unclear if it represents a real structure or a Martian mirage.
But is the light-and-shadow show intended to welcome Earthlings? Or lure them into an elaborate trap? That still remains unclear.
Many Martian observers believe this could be a sign the Martians have stopped hiding underground and maybe be preparing for interplanetary tourism instead while more alien-ated observers believe these could represent an elaborate trap by the natives.
“This is a welcome wagon in progress,” stated on upbeat observer. “These Martians are no fools. They know we’re coming whether they like it or not now and they are preparing for us.”
Preparing for us?
“Looks like a space tourist trap to me,” stated Supernatural Survivologist Seth Greening, unabashedly interviewing himself in a statement this morning. “Think about it. A friendly-seeming beacon of familiarity to make visitors feel at home-away-from home combined with a structure to control the flow of movement? All that’s missing now are the overpriced souvenir vendors and the delicious deep-fried street foods that kill.”
“Oh wait! That totally describes the jelly doughnuts previously spotted on the surface. The Martians have clearly abandoned plans to invade Earth and are now planning to take us out on their home turf!”
Until we know more, visitors to Mars are advised to pack their own lunches and not be fooled by any displays of familiarity or follow any dubious traffic lights, no matter how bad you may have to use the toilet. Use your space suite or hold it until you get home.

I created a sample lookup table as follows:
In Revit, the parameters in the test family:
A text parameter is created in the family called 'Type Name'. The formula is broken down as follows:
Tells Revit it's a lookup command
- (Lookup Table,
Refers to the lookup table name in the 'Lookup Table' parameter
Usually there is a value between the quotation marks. This refers to which column to reference in the lookup table, but in this case we create a 'null' value. This is what allows this method to work
- "NOT SPECIFIED",
The text value that is used if there is no matching value in the lookup parameter
the lookup parameter value for the lookup formula to reference.
I'm not sure why this actually works, but I suspect that even though the syntax for the formula is correct for a lookup, the omission of a search column reference means it returns the first value it comes across, which is the 'Type Name' in the first column.
Hope this is useful. | <urn:uuid:1a57f7f5-eca9-492e-8d0e-3370043f0e0a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://revit-waterman.blogspot.com/2015/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572304.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816120802-20220816150802-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.868687 | 231 | 2.171875 | 2 |
Car audio and home audio speakers look similar but have slight design goal differences. However, given the overall system or speaker design, it is possible to interchange the woofers and tweeters in most home- and car-designed systems. Although many of the major differences between home and car audio speakers are cosmetic, important factors exist to address the environments these speakers are typically used in.
Impedance is one of the key differences between home and car speakers. Impedance is a measurement that defines how much opposition a conductive item gives to an electrical current. Car amplifiers are typically low-voltage, high-amperage designs, making 4 ohm speakers ideal. In the home, where the opposite relationship between amperage and voltage is the case, 8 ohm speakers are typical. Although the speakers are interchangeable between home and car environments, it is rare to find a car speaker above 4 ohms. High end, esoteric, larger home speakers can be as low as 4 ohms, but these tend to be rare given the larger strain placed on amplifiers and receivers.
Video of the Day
Car speakers are typically sold as raw drivers. Automotive component sets are essentially the same thing as what you would find in a bookshelf home speaker, with a separate woofer and tweeter. Joining the two are crossovers, encased for increased cosmetic appeal in car audio kits. Home speakers encase these components in cabinets, sold in a variety of finishes and shapes.
Most car speakers are optimized for use in small enclosures, in small spaces. These two properties help define the typical car audio environment. This is referred to as "near-field" design, and is similar to the concept behind studio monitors. Home speakers, in general, are ideally suited for a variety of room sizes, with their ability to play in larger spaces more a function of amplifier power than overall design. Automotive speaker designers recognize that cars have what is known as transfer function -- small environments reinforce low frequencies.
Many car audio speaker designers, especially in the realm of subwoofers, make enormous effort to make the drivers as high tech and cosmetically different as possible. Unlike home speakers, where the drivers' baskets are rarely viewed, car speakers are examined front and back for design cues that exude power and quality. Additionally, flashier colors and chromed baskets, with the occasional addition of flashing lights, are common among many brands of car speakers. Home speakers are generally designed to work in with existing furniture and interior design elements, blending into existing decor. | <urn:uuid:133ff02a-5cef-45a5-908d-1c1ae2dff3e6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.techwalla.com/articles/what-is-the-difference-between-car-speakers-home-speakers | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572304.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816120802-20220816150802-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.959474 | 535 | 2.5 | 2 |
The TCHAA cups are a reinterpretation of the traditional Indian Tea cup. Originally chai cups are made from sun-dried clay, used one time and then thrown on the floor, blending back into the earth again. Beside the fact that this traditional object is a beautiful example of sustainability, what we also really liked in it, was its raw and yet very functional design.
Like the Indian cups, we designed the TCHAA cup without any handle, keeping the object as its original form, somewhere between the cup and the glass. In order to prevent the user from the heat we drew a large flared collar delimiting the area of grabbing on the top of the cup.
For this project we wanted to work on a more lasting object so we re-think it in sandstone, much stronger material allowing us to draw a thinner and more regular shape. Unlike the Indian one, the sandstone is fired, enabling to coat the ceramic with a colored glaze or textured “engobe”.
At NAAdesign we like the contrast. So we decided to use the both techniques. Once the TCHAA cups are engobed with terracotta and fired, they are then enameled with matte colors. The warmth texture of the a sandy terracotta gives a sensual and cozy touch while the bright colors of the glaze catch our eyes and invite our lips to take a sip. | <urn:uuid:c18febbd-07cc-48d8-8785-5daba2eab4a9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.naadesign.com/journal/designing-the-tchaa-cups/?doing_wp_cron=1660764512.3475520610809326171875 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.938297 | 292 | 1.640625 | 2 |
GigEthos Lite is intended for use in applications where even the weight or size of an RJ45 connector is too much. This very small ethernet switch has 5 ports, supports 10/100/1000mb data rates, and is intended for use in situations where size, weight and power are precious commodities. Simple Molex connectors are used to replace standard RJ45 connectors in an effort to save both board space and component weight.

Minor Version Update
Beginning in April 2022, the GigEthos underwent a minor version update to address part availability constraints. The new design of the GigEthos is intended to be a drop in replacement for the original GigEthos design. One important change is the minimum voltage has increased from 4V to 4.5V. Product photos have not yet been updated to reflect the new version.
- GigEthos-Lite Tiny Ethernet Switch, PN ACS-ETH1-11
- (Optional Cable Kit)
- 5 Molex PicoBlade to RJ45 pigtails, gigabit (~12″)
- 1 Molex PicoBlade pigtail for power (12″)
Old Reference Documents
The parent design for Ethos-Lite was originally designed with Size Weight and Power (SWaP) constraints for an aerospace application. The project required a tiny ethernet switch in order to allow multiple network devices on an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) sharing one data link. We searched for something that was small enough, light enough, and rugged enough. Nothing that we could find met our requirements for the application, so we decided to make our own. We settled on 10/100mb because this is typically more than fast enough for supplying data to radio systems on UAV’s which are usually limited on the order of the 10’s of Mbits. This enabled us to put more than one ip capable sensor onto a single UAV and communicate with all of them through one data link. Knowing how hard it had been for us to find a switch this size we decided to take our original rugged design and create a commercial version of it, and the Ethos-Lite was born. | <urn:uuid:311763b3-c0d4-4baa-a1dc-8fff6113ffff> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://gadgetsmyth.com/product/gigethos-lite/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.902708 | 635 | 1.585938 | 2 |

How do you cite a quote from a play?
To cite a specific quotation from a play in MLA style, place the quotation in quotation marks (using slashes to indicate line breaks) and end with a parenthetical citation of author, name of play, and then page/act (for prose plays) or act/scene/line(s) (for verse).
How do you quote a Shakespeare play?
When citing Shakespeare plays, list the ACT, SCENE, and LINES in parenthetical citations (page numbers are NOT included), separated by periods. Enclose the citation in parentheses. For example: (Macbeth 1.3.
How do you reference a play in an essay?
Titles of books, plays, films, periodicals, databases, and websites are italicized. Place titles in quotation marks if the source is part of a larger work. Articles, essays, chapters, poems, webpages, songs, and speeches are placed in quotation marks. Sometimes titles will contain other titles.
How do you quote dialogue in an essay?
To quote a movie in MLA, just write its name in the brackets. Be advised to include the quotes from a movie in quotation marks if you’re taking it word-by-word. For the work cited listing mention the director of the film and the studio, plus the year and the format. The Amazing Spider-Man.
What is an example of a dialogue?
Dialogue refers to a conversation or discussion or to the act of having a conversation or discussion. Often, we read outer dialogue, which occurs between two characters as spoken language. Examples of Dialogue: “Lisa,” said Kyle, “I need help moving this box of toys for the garage sale.
How do you quote back and forth dialogue?
How do I punctuate quoted dialogue from a novel?
- Quoting Dialogue and Text. If you are incorporating a quotation featuring both exposition and a character’s speech into your text, use double quotation marks around the quotation and single quotation marks around the character’s speech that is within the quotation:
- Quoting Only Dialogue.
- Using Block Quotes.
Do you start a new paragraph after dialogue?
Even with dialogue that is clearly attributed, start a new paragraph with each new speaker. The reader shouldn’t have to wait until after the dialogue is spoken to understand who is saying it. Readers form ideas and draw conclusions as they read.
What are the 4 types of dialogue?
Their four main types are:
- Directed dialogue. It is the simplest kind of interlocution that can be used in literary writing.
- Misdirected dialogue.
- Modulated conversation.
- Interpolated conversation.
What is the dialogue?
Dialogue (sometimes spelled dialog in American English) is a written or spoken conversational exchange between two or more people, and a literary and theatrical form that depicts such an exchange.
What is a good dialogue?
Good dialogue reveals personality, and characters only very rarely say precisely what they are thinking. So when two characters go back and forth explaining precisely what they are feeling or thinking to each other, it doesn’t seem remotely real. Good dialogue is instead comprised of attempts at articulation.
What are the 5 purposes of dialogue?
- It makes the story advance. A major feature of dialogue is that it moves the story forward in a more straight-forward way than a narrator’s explanation would.
- It develops the characters. Characters can also evolve through dialogue.
- It brings dynamics.
- It provides realism.
- It defines characters.
- It provides information.
What is dialogue in simple words?
(Entry 1 of 2) 1 : a written composition in which two or more characters are represented as conversing. 2a : a conversation between two or more persons also : a similar exchange between a person and something else (such as a computer)
How do you explain dialogue?
Dialogue is the exchange of spoken words between two or more characters in a book, play, or other written work. In prose writing, lines of dialogue are typically identified by the use of quotation marks and a dialogue tag, such as “she said.” In plays, lines of dialogue are preceded by the name of the person speaking.
What are the three types of dialogue?
There are internal, buried, and spoken dialogues. Here are very simple and easy to understand examples.
What is importance of dialogue?
“Dialogue…is a way of exploring the roots of the many crises that face humanity today. It enables inquiry into, and understanding of, the sorts of processes that fragment and interfere with real communication.”
What is the importance of interfaith dialogue?
Interfaith dialogue can unlock the power of religious traditions and provide the inspiration, guidance, and valida- tion necessary for populations to move toward non-violent means of conflict resolution. Such dialogues have become an increasingly important tool for those who seek to end violent conflict worldwide.
What is the power of dialogue?
The heart of dialogue is listening. This requires us to not just hear others’ words but to also hear our own thoughts, which can change when we are truly able to receive others’ input. But first, we must take pause in our responses to deeply consider what others are saying to us. | <urn:uuid:77077224-ff1c-4420-95ec-a22f5d06ef8a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://how.co/ht/meet-how-to-quote-a-play-dialogue-96166/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.923654 | 1,298 | 3.8125 | 4 |
|Place of origin||France|
|Region or state||Lorraine|
|Main ingredients||Eggs, milk, butter, rum|
A rum baba or baba au rhum is a small yeast cake saturated in syrup made with hard liquor, usually rum, and sometimes filled with whipped cream or pastry cream. It is most typically made in individual servings (about a 5 cm tall, slightly tapered cylinder) but sometimes can be made in larger forms similar to those used for Bundt cakes.
The batter for baba includes eggs, milk and butter.
The original form of the baba was similar to the baba or babka, a tall, cylindrical yeast cake (babka is still baked in Lithuania, Belarus, Poland and Polish-influenced western Ukraine as well as in Polish communities over the world). The name means "old woman" or "grandmother" in most Slavic languages; babka is a diminutive of baba.
The modern baba au rhum (rum baba), with dried fruit and soaked in rum, was invented in the rue Montorgueil in Paris, France, in 1835 or before. Today, the word "baba" in France and almost everywhere else outside eastern Europe usually refers specifically to the rum baba.
The original baba was introduced into France in the 18th century via Lorraine. This is attributed to Stanislaus I, the exiled king of Poland. The Larousse Gastronomique has reported that Stanislaus had the idea of soaking a dried Gugelhupf (a cake roughly similar to the baba and common in Alsace-Lorraine when he arrived there) or a baba with alcoholic spirit. Another version is that when Stanislaus brought back a baba from one of his voyages it had dried up. Nicolas Stohrer, one of his pâtissiers (or possibly just apprentice pâtissiers at the time), solved the problem by adding Malaga wine, saffron, dried and fresh raisin and crême pâtissière. The writer Courchamps stated in 1839 that the descendants of Stanislaus served the baba with a saucière containing sweet Malaga wine mixed with one sixth of Tanaisie liqueur.
Stohrer followed Stanislaus's daughter Marie Leszczyńska to Versailles as her pâtissier in 1725 when she married King Louis XV, and founded his pâtisserie in Paris in 1730. One of his descendants allegedly had the idea of using rum in 1835. While he is believed to have done so on the fresh cakes (right out of the mold), it is a common practice today to let the baba dry a little so that it soaks up the rum better. Later, the recipe was refined by mixing the rum with aromatized sugar syrup.
The baba is also popular in Naples, and became a popular Neapolitan specialty under the name babà or babbà.
The pastry has appeared on restaurant menus in the United States at least since 1899.
In 1844, the Julien Brothers, Parisian pâtissiers, invented the Savarin, which is strongly inspired by the baba au rhum but is soaked with a different alcoholic mixture and uses a circular (ring) cake mould instead of the simple round (cylindrical) form. The ring form is nowadays often associated with the baba au rhum as well, and the name Savarin is also sometimes given to the rum-soaked circular cake. | <urn:uuid:c83cb8c6-d508-4e18-82b6-a691012918f5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://db0nus869y26v.cloudfront.net/en/Rum_baba | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.95058 | 776 | 2.09375 | 2 |
The Teachings of Sufi Stories
The Australian Centre for Sufism and Irfanic Studies will be running a four part series
exploring and expanding the teachings of Sufi stories.
Sufi stories have played an important role in Sufism over the centuries due to their remarkable ability as a vehicle to deliver experiential learning by bypassing our defences, often using humour. In this way, they can expand our awareness, opening us to have a glimpse into the deeper aspect of ourselves.
Whilst these stories have different meanings, according to the levels of standing and understanding of those who reflect on them, we will focus our reflections through the lens of the essential components of the Sufi path such as:
• The nature of the self and reality

Elon Musk's brain implant company, Neuralink, has posted job listings for a clinical trial director and coordinator, implying it's nearing the goal of clinical trials.
The neurotechnology company is creating implantable brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) that could connect humans to computers.
It launched officially in 2016 and has secured almost $200 million in funding to date, half of which was from Musk himself.
First @Neuralink product will enable someone with paralysis to use a smartphone with their mind faster than someone using thumbs
- Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 9, 2021
The new roles being advertised will oversee human trials of the medical device, which has already been demonstrated on monkeys and pigs.
"As the clinical trial director, you'll work closely with some of the most innovative doctors and top engineers, as well as working with Neuralink's first clinical trial participants," the advert for the role in Fremont, California, says.
"You will lead and help build the team responsible for enabling Neuralink's clinical research activities and developing the regulatory interactions that come with a fast-paced and ever-evolving environment."
The company planned to start experimenting on humans in 2020, but that goal has been delayed.
Neuralink was launched to make devices that treat serious brain diseases, but has the long-term goal of 'human enhancement'.
The idea was inspired by science fiction, including from The Culture novels by Iain M. Banks.
Musk has described the project as creating 'symbiosis with artificial intelligence' to stop any potential of AI becoming a threat to human society.
He hopes Neuralink will 'enable someone with paralysis to use a smartphone with their mind faster than someone using thumbs'.
The project has been marred in controversy, with five of the eight scientists departing by mid-2020, and co-founder and president Max Hodak exiting in early 2021.
Musk told the Wall Street Journal last year that the company was aiming to implant in human brains at some point in 2022.

In order to begin testing on humans, Neuralink must satisfy a number of requirements from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but it isn't known yet how far the company is through this process.
As of yet, it doesn't appear Neuralink has registered to begin human trials.
Another company, Synchron, is working in the same space and already has FDA approval.
Synchron says it is focused on 'unlocking the natural highways of the brain' with the goal of helping treat neurological disorders and improving the connection between neurons in the brain.

UPDATE (4/29/20): CPR's Deregulation on Demand paper was recently cited and discussed in an amicus brief filed by Sens. Whitehouse, Merkley, Gillibrand, Schatz, and Markey supporting a case against the ACE rule (American Lung Association v. EPA). You can read the brief here.
Who does the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) work for? The answer would seem to be us, the American public, given that the statutes it is charged with implementing are focused first and foremost on protecting our health and the natural environment we all depend upon. The Trump administration, however, has transformed this critical protector agency into a powerful of tool of corporate polluters, one dedicated to fattening these industries’ already healthy bottom lines at the expense of the broader public interest.
The evidence of this brazen degree of corporate capture at the Trump EPA abounds. The upper echelons of the agency’s leadership are littered with former lobbyists and corporate officers once associated with the very businesses they are now supposed to be regulating. The EPA’s anti-safeguard agenda – already noteworthy for being one of the most aggressive in an administration that has made attacks on public protections a top priority – has been quite literally dictated by corporate interests through the use of “hit lists” of existing regulations that industry polluters want to see repealed or weakened.
A new paper, Deregulation on Demand: Trump EPA Panders to Polluters in Dismantling Clean Power Plan, out today from the Center for Progressive Reform (CPR), adds to this mounting evidence. Unlike previous research on this topic, our paper sets out to examine the extent to which relevant corporate interests are dictating the content of the agency’s individual anti-safeguard actions. Specifically, the paper explores this question by looking at one particularly contentious Trump EPA rollback, the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule. The ACE rule repealed the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan, which established first-time limits on greenhouse gas emissions from existing fossil-fueled power plants, and replaced it with a new program that would deliver little, if any, emissions reductions at all.
The goal of this paper was to quantify how much of industry’s wish list had been delivered in the final ACE rule. To do this, I worked with student attorneys at the Environmental Law Clinic at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law to examine the public comments that a sample of relevant national trade associations submitted regarding how greenhouse gas emissions from existing fossil-fueled power plants should be regulated. We then compared these comments to the provisions contained in the final ACE rule to determine how much of industry’s feedback had been reflected in the rule’s provisions.
Through our research, we identified a total of 23 unique substantive requests, or “asks,” in the trade associations’ public comments and concluded that the Trump EPA incorporated 79 percent of them into its final ACE rule. This high percentage is suggestive of how unduly attentive the Trump EPA is to the very industries it is supposed to be regulating, and thus raising the question of whether the agency is faithfully carrying out its public-minded statutory mission.
While the Trump administration did not invent corporate capture of protector agencies like the EPA, these numbers suggest that corporate interests are enjoying an unprecedented degree of influence over how our laws are being implemented. This should be of grave concern to all of us. For one thing, the compliance costs that industry is saving by blocking and weakening rules are not just disappearing into the ether. Rather, they are being transferred onto all of us in the form of preventable deaths, increased cancer rates, lost school days, and degradation of our cherished environmental heritage. Worse still, these costs will be disproportionately borne by those who can least afford them, including the poor and people of color.
For another thing, when agencies become overly influenced by the industries they regulate, they risk undermining their credibility and the legitimacy of the policies they create. The current COVID-19 pandemic illustrates the longer-term costs that can result when the public loses trust in our governing institutions. Our response to this catastrophe has become hampered because members of the public are not taking seriously the advice of public officials to prevent unnecessary exposure to this harmful virus, contributing to its rampant spread. It will be impossible to restore the public’s faith in the EPA and other protector agencies unless and until the worst vestiges of corporate capture have been rooted out.
In the meantime, the courts offer a first line of defense against corporate capture. For example, the problems with the ACE rule identified in this paper – namely, the undue attentiveness that the Trump EPA gave to corporate interests in crafting the rule’s provisions – potentially make it ripe for judicial rejection as an “arbitrary and capricious” action under the Administrative Procedure Act. To get at the root of the problem of corporate capture at the EPA, structural reforms will be necessary. These include measures aimed at limiting conflicts of interest among agency leadership.
I will continue to work with the Maryland Environmental Law Clinic to track such instances of corporate capture at the EPA. In a subsequent report, we will examine industry influence over a broader range of Trump anti-safeguard initiatives, including measures that would undermine critical protections designed to keep our air safe to breathe, our drinking water free of contaminants, and our communities free of toxic chemicals. Stay tuned.

Under the domination of the Nazis from 1933 to 1945, a great many works of art were confiscated in Germany and in annexed and occupied countries. Looted art of this kind was dispersed abroad and on occasion ended up in Switzerland, both during the time of German National Socialism and thereafter.
Soon after the end of the Second World War, steps began to be taken to reimburse or compensate the victims – both on the international level and within Switzerland. Since the 1990s there has been another marked increase in public interest, both national and international, in looted and plundered art from the time of German National Socialism. In the spring of 1998 the Swiss Federal Office of Culture published a report on an investigation into the provenance of cultural property in the possession of the Swiss Confederation, with particular reference to the issue of Nazi-looted art. The same year saw the publication of a study on Switzerland as an art market in the years from 1933 to 1945, which was commissioned by the Federal Office of Culture and the Nationale Informationsstelle für Kulturgüter-Erhaltung (NIKE).
At international level, in December 1998 the Swiss Confederation took part, along with 43 other nations, in the pioneering Washington Conference, and made a significant contribution to the elaboration of the Washington Conference Principles on Nazi-Confiscated Art (the “Washington Principles”). These are non-binding guidelines aimed at bringing about just and fair solutions in cases where art works have been confiscated.
Following the Washington Conference, on 26 January 1999 the Swiss Federal Council set up the Contact Bureau on Looted Art. In dealing with issues arising from Nazi-looted art, this institution recommends a transparent, legal and adequate approach with the aim of arriving at just and fair solutions.
Work in connection with Nazi-looted art pursues the following goals:
- to facilitate research into the provenance of art works;
- to improve transparency and foster a responsible approach to past history, through publication of the results of provenance research; and
- to enable the achievement of just and fair solutions in cases of looted art as recommended by the Washington Principles.

- Jul 31, 2022
The structure of a project is similar to most other papers. It needs an introduction with a thesis, body of the paper with paragraphs, and a conclusion. Dedicate a separate page to references. If necessary, add appendices with charts, graphs, images, etc.
The introduction will set the tone and the general topic you are writing about. Say something interesting to captivate your audience and move to your thesis. A thesis is an idea that you will prove and develop. It may be a claim, a question to research or a hypothesis to confirm. Despite its form, this is a necessary element. You will use it as a backbone of the project so that you did not stray away from your initial writing goal.
In the body, you will develop your ideas and provide proof. Depending on the form of your project, you may include literature review, research methods and discussion of results into your paper body. Or else, if it is an essay in free for, you will use subheadings to mark subtopics you explore. In any case, use subheading to guide a reader (or listeners). If requires, you will use these headings and subheadings to create a table of contents at the beginning.
When creating paragraphs, use the old time-tested structure: a topic sentence, explanation of it or evidence, explanation, your own reasoning (this is an important part, you are supposed to think independently and to show it), more evidence and explanation, if necessary. Include in-text references generously along the way. You do not want to be accused of plagiarism or not crediting others’ work.
The conclusion does not provide any new info, it just restates your thesis and reminds of the most important points of your paper. Be brief in this section. You have said what you wanted in previous ones.
Compile the full references list. Mention every single source you used. If it is in the reference list, it should be in the text as well (and vice versa).
Add appendices. If you used them, they need to be discussed clearly in the text, not just added to make the project look bigger.
That’s basically everything you should include in your project.
We will further also discuss custom written article reviews. | <urn:uuid:d77eb635-8a54-45ea-b31a-ed60bac04b75> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://fordiva.com/structure-of-capstone-project.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.915857 | 515 | 2.53125 | 3 |
Malaysia sends 66 boys to gay cure camp
Malaysian authorities have admitted sending 66 teenage boys thought to be gay to a camp to learn “masculine behaviour”.
An official from Terengganu state said the boys, aged between 13 and 17, were identified by teachers as having effeminate mannerisms.
This week, they are being sent on a four-day “self-development course” in the hope of dissuading them from being gay or transgender.
State education director Razali Daud told The Associated Press that the camp was designed “to guide them back to the right path in life before they reach a point of no return. Such effeminate behavior is unnatural and will affect their studies and their future.”
He added: “We can’t force the boys to change, but we want them to know what their choices are in life. Some effeminate boys end up as a transvestite or a homosexual, but we want to do our best to limit this.”
Officials said the boys were invited to the camp and were not compelled to go.
Malaysia punishes homosexuality with up to 20 years in prison, although this is not always enforced. Cross-dressing is sometimes punished. | <urn:uuid:ffa8cf72-739b-4325-9608-7e7ed4ffdd1f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2011/04/19/malaysia-sends-66-boys-to-gay-cure-camp/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572161.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815054743-20220815084743-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.977313 | 267 | 1.648438 | 2 |
When most of us make the conscious decision to improve our health or aesthetics our immediate thought is: I need to lose weight. In our minds weight is the optimum marker of health and losing it will mean we suddenly look and feel amazing.
When most of us make the conscious decision to improve our health or aesthetics what we actually mean is: I am not happy with how my body is performing or how it looks and feels.
Nevertheless, we usually jump on the scales, gasp at the number displayed and set a target for how much lower we want it to be. That number now becomes our health/aesthetic marker.
‘I’ve lost weight so I must look better.’ ‘I weigh less so I must be fitter.’ These are common phrases we hear.
Imagine the scenario:
You can be at your ideal weight, that magic number you decided on the scales, but you look and feel far from how you wish.
You can be the weight you are now, your previously considered unhealthy and undesirable weight, but you will look, feel and perform exactly as you wish.
I guarantee I know which one you would prefer. Weight is a completely useless tool for measuring how you look, how you feel and how you perform. It doesn’t allow for an increase in muscle mass – lots of people who start exercising to lose weight actually add some kilos on the scale due to muscle gain. It doesn’t reflect how your clothes fit or how well your sleeping at night. It doesn’t acknowledge that you ran a little bit further a little bit faster this morning.
If you’re looking to gauge your improvements in health, in fitness or in how you look – use a mirror, your clothes and a note pad.
Look in the mirror – do you look better, are you happier with the image staring back at you?
Try on your clothes – do they fit a little better?
Write down your workouts – has your squat increased, did you row a little faster tonight?
This is where you will see real results. This is where tangible results that you can see, feel and experience are realised. This is where the thing you were after when you decided you wanted ‘to lose weight’ becomes real – not on some shit scales from Argos. | <urn:uuid:66a56b27-86f4-419c-a743-9a4dacd62ee7> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://saxoncrossfit.com/dont-necessarily-want-lose-weight/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572161.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815054743-20220815084743-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.959749 | 480 | 1.539063 | 2 |

In the meantime check out our English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC) webpage. There you can find resources regarding ELL programs that support learning and how you can be involved in providing parent input about next year's programs to support ELL students.
Common Acronyms & Abbreviations
Education is notorious for using acronyms and abbreviations, even we can't keep up with all of them! Here are some that are commonly used when talking about English learners.
EL: English learner. This acronym is being used more often to refer to a student in an ESL (English as a second language) program. Compare to ELL.
ELA: English language acquisition. Occasionally confused with English Language Arts, this acronym recognizes that for some people, English is not a second language. It could be a third, fourth. etc.
ELD: English language development.
ELL: English language learner. Often used to refer to a student in an ESL or EFL program.
ELP: English language proficiency.
ESL: English as a second language. English language programs in English-speaking countries where students learn English as a second language.
ELPAC:English Language Proficiency Assessments for California
RFEP: reclassify as fluent English proficient
A QUICK GUIDE
ELPAC: English Language Proficiency Assessment for California
What it is
The ELPAC is the state’s designated test of ELP (English Language Proficiency. It is administered (1) as an initial assessment to newly enrolled students whose primary language is not English, as indicated on a home language survey (HLS); and (2) annually as a summative assessment to students who have been previously identified as EL students. This is a state-mandated assessment.
The Initial ELPAC has one purpose:
To identify students who are English learner students or are initial fluent English proficient (IFEP)
The Summative ELPAC has two purposes:
To determine the level of English language proficiency (ELP) of English learner students
To assess the progress of English learner students in acquiring the skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English
The Initial ELPAC is given within 30 days of enrollment
The summative ELPAC is given in the spring semester
Once students are reclassified, they no longer take the ELPAC
You are the expert on your child. Over the course of a school year, you receive a lot of information about how your child is performing that can be combined to give you a more complete picture of your child’s progress. In addition to report card grades and class tests, you canuse the ELPAC score reports to better understand your child’s progress in learning English. The Starting Smarter is a website that provides; help understanding your student's scores, provide practice test questions to get ready for the ELPAC, as well as suggest additional resources to support your student's learning.
iReady is a web-based assessment and instruction program for math and reading. The diagnostic is a computer adaptive assessment that is used to determine a student’s level of proficiency relative to grade level expectations.
The diagnostic assessment in reading is one element that contributes to a student’s eligibility for reclassification in grades K-8.

Elementary, Jr. High, & High School are different when it comes to placement. For Rio Tierra we must use the students ELPAC test score (1-4) and calculate placement based on how many years the student has been in the United States.
Each year the student will have the opportunity to take the ELPAC again. A score report will be provided to you so you can see your students growth and any areas they may need to practice.
Tip #1: Check the reclassification requirements tab to learn about score requirements and other criteria that must be met to be considered "English Proficient".
Tip #2: Check the ELPAC and i-Ready tabs to learn about how to read your student's score report and what resources are available to support your student through their journey.
What is the criteria for reclassification in California?
The California Department of Education (CDE) has created guidelines. Students initially identified as English Learners (ELs) are reclassified to fluent English proficient when they meet all of the following criteria:
ELPAC Overall Performance Level 4
Demonstration of “basic skills” in English from an objective assessment that is also given to English proficient students of the same age
Parent Opinion and Consultation
How are English learners reclassified in our school district?
The reclassification window is open throughout the year after course grades are posted. Eligible English learners are identified to be reviewed for reclassification based on meeting the score criterion on the ELPAC and one other ELA assessment (Smarter Balanced ELA or ELA District Benchmark/Assessments).
After becoming eligible, students are evaluated by their current English teacher on their performance in English Language Arts (ELA).
Then, the parent/guardian(s) of the eligible student is consulted for their input and opinion about their child’s pending reclassification.
The last step requires the district's English Learner Services Department to review whether English learner students have met all four criteria of reclassification.
After meeting the score criterion on the ELPAC and one other ELA assessment, students must receive teacher recommendation and parent agreement to reclassify as fluent English proficient (RFEP).
Once students reach RFEP status, they no longer need to participate in designated ELD, annual ELPAC testing, or other English learner services. | <urn:uuid:a63b3be0-519f-4da3-b135-e0785e48aef8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://rtjhs.twinriversusd.org/School-Resources-/English-Language-Learner-ELL-Resources/index.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572161.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815054743-20220815084743-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.927344 | 1,327 | 3.5625 | 4 |
Singapore based multinational technology company Dyson has launched its new cordless vacuum cleaner — Dyson V15 Detect — in India. According to the top global consumer goods company, the new product is powered with dust detection and detangling technology and developed by a team of 370 highly skilled engineers globally.
“This latest vacuum cleaner uses a Dyson Hyperdymium motor which generates up to 240 air watts of suction for the most powerful deep clean, the company claimed,” the company said.
The Dyson V15 Detect cord-free vacuum is available at Rs 62,900 in India. “Our latest vacuums use adapted laser technology to reveal hidden dust, integrating a diode laser into the cleaner head that is precisely positioned at a 1.5 degree angle, 7.3mm off the ground to create the best contrast between dust and floor,” James Dyson, Engineer and Founder said.
The LCD screen of the new vacuum cleaner displays real-time scientific proof of a deep clean through counting and measuring microscopic dust particles. The company developed a new anti-tangle conical brush bar which spirals hair off and into the bin which prevents the wrapping of hair around the brush bar.
The DLS (Dynamic Load Sensing) Technology senses and adapts for optimum cleaning on all floor types. The company said that the vacuum is engineered with 1.5 times more suction and 54 per cent more bin capacity than the ‘Dyson V12 Detect’. | <urn:uuid:1a048fb8-6788-455b-85f1-f43afec4639c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://techobserver.in/2022/07/27/global-tech-company-dyson-brings-new-cordless-dust-detection-tech-to-india/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.923472 | 306 | 1.578125 | 2 |
By Dr. Ashvin M Gutti, Program Mentor, MBAESG India
Passing through the Pyrenées and the Alps, and ending at the Champs-Élysées, Tour-de-France has become an annual cycling competition that has left a mark on the French culture, the same at the in-house Stade Roland-Garros, where France hosts the French Open, a major tennis tournament held in late May/early June of every year.
In a fast-moving sports society, France has made laws stricter and has banned smoking in cafés and other enclosed public places where family and kids enjoy the cheer and excitement of their nation’s winning streaks. In addition to these signs of an affinity for sports, smoking laws are becoming tougher extending to children’s schoolyards and places of public gathering. Gone are the days of a paunchy Frenchman in a Speedo wading in a lake with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, what role exactly do sports play in French life?
Appreciation for sports in the French culture is quite distinctively different from the way Americans perceive it. The American sporting culture and fitness craze thrives in almost all aspects of American societies, may it be in the fashion industry, educational institutions, the overhyped entertainment industry to television commercials. The final game of American Football or the Super Bowl commands such a large audience that getting an advertising spot at half-time is like striking gold, whereas the French culture is relaxed and laid-back with-its stress-free way of enjoying every part of the game with a bottle of wine and friends talking on various aspects of life, societies, family, any matter related to the country at large.
Vacation activities in the Alps and Pyrenées include skiing which is practiced by skilled professionals and by holidaymakers at large. Probably due to the influence of the calm Mediterranean climate, France has gravitated towards outdoor sports like tennis, sailing, cycling, skiing rather than investing heavily in the gym culture which is popular in the west. French Rugby is popular in the Southwest, where it rivals soccer as the favored sport.
Considered an exclusive sport in other countries, the famous Vendée Globe, is an around-the-world yacht competition that occurs once every four years, starting in the French Atlantic. Having a strong presence in the Olympic games and being popular across Europe, Basketball is a well-loved game, it is quite popular in city parks, such as the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris, where avid players regularly meet up to play.
The above examples define the true culture of France as a true sport-loving nation and have grown significantly in the past 2 to 3 decades from a novice to a challenger not only as a spectator but from a participant point of view.
Now as far as the question goes of whether or not the French are sporty? Some do fit the exported cinematic and literary image of cigarette-smoking Derrida-discussing café patrons; whilst others are outside sailing, cycling, skiing, and enjoying the many athletic activities that France has to offer. | <urn:uuid:eeaaa34e-589e-4b82-b5c9-c6a8dda014b0> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://mba-esg.in/french-culture-and-the-role-of-sports/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.962743 | 638 | 2.5 | 2 |

CHENNAI: An 80-year-old retired Central Bureau of Direct Taxes official was allegedly conned by a phishing caller and relieved of Rs.10 lakh from his bank account a few days ago after the victim responded to a phishing -embedded message at Kilpauk, police said. A police team that worked on his complaint managed to block the transaction for around Rs.7 lakh and retrieved the sum.
Police said the retired central government official was lured to click on the instruction received on his mobile phone which stated that his phone connection will be snapped in 24 hours if he fails to respond.
According to them, the money taken from him was found transferred to bank accounts in Tiruvannamalai, Surat and Kolkata etc. The police are now hunting for the cyber criminals involved in the incident. This is the second incident in the past three days in which the cops returned stolen money to the rightful owners.
In another recent incident, Chennai police helped retrieve Rs 8.8 lakh siphoned off by scamsters from the bank account of a 52-year-old woman of Mogappair. The scamsters had conned the woman into downloading an app after making her believe that her electricity bill is pending and they would smoother out the process online. Within minutes of downloading the app - Team viewer (a remote access computer software), the cybercriminals took her passwords and siphoned off Rs 8.8 lakh from her bank accounts in installments. | <urn:uuid:9062f6ef-ae8c-49a8-b480-b90f73ca829c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.dtnext.in/city/2022/07/14/cyber-criminals-target-octogenarian-swindle-rs10-lakh | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572161.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815054743-20220815084743-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.977022 | 301 | 1.5 | 2 |
Some of my new students this term are asking, “Has the publishing world gone crazy?” Their mouths hang open or they shake their heads as I describe the changes happening all over the industry. I tell them it’s changing fast and to hang onto their literary hats. Crazy? That depends on whom you ask.
Writing Tip for Today: Especially in the self-pub realm, things ARE changing and changing rapidly. As I try to keep students informed, I’m most aware that many writers feel more empowered than they ever have. I have a sneaking feeling, though, that this new-found power will in most cases sputter if authors aren’t paying very close attention. My thoughts:
- A Crowded Field. EVERYone is writing these days. Even if it’s becoming easier to publish (via one of the models such as CreateSpace or Lulu), it’s no easier to actually sell what you publish. In fact, marketing expert Randy Ingermanson points out that as the market gets flooded with substandard fare, readers may have an even harder time finding your gem of a book. He stresses the value of knowing exactly who your reader is.
- Your Power, Your Deal. If authors are empowered they are also responsible–for everything. Although self-publishers offer “marketing packages,” every author must do the work it takes to build an audience. That”s a lot of sitting-on-your-buns-smiling-at-lookers at the county fair. Know what you’re getting yourself into, and be prepared to spend as much as you can for the biggest reach you can gain.
- Good Writing Rises. I think there will always be a demand for good writing. With the self-publishing glut, readers may figure out ways to rebel against bad content. And big publisher players such as the Big Six aren’t going down without a fight. So, although the publishing world is changing fast, most writers who are excellent wordcrafters and who have compelling stories to tell will find ways to connect, whether they publish traditionally or not. Never stop learning and honing your craft–even if it appears that the publishing world is passing you by. Whether you go crazy is entirely up to you. | <urn:uuid:6c965a3f-afaf-4bbc-ba4d-92480979b715> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://lindasclare.com/2012/04/are-all-writers-crazy/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.955587 | 479 | 1.53125 | 2 |
Texture Anarchy is a set of Adobe Photoshop filters for creating textures and borders. With these three Photoshop texture filters, you can create a variety of seamless, infinite textures that range from realistic and organic to design-appropriate. Plain old math is used to generate, extend, and output an image.
Each filter provides a different kind of seamless procedural texture. Texture Explorer is the centerpiece of the Photoshop textures set and creates seamless procedural textures. Tiler Anarchy is like Texture Explorer but its textures are always seamlessly repeated. Edge Anarchy is designed to create textured, distressed, or ornamental borders.
The Texture Anarchy filters create 2D or 3D Photoshop textures. The textures are procedural textures based on fractal noise, which is terrific for natural images like fire, smoke, clouds, and marble. The many palettes for lighting, layers, fractal noise and color gradients are the building blocks of your textures. There are color wells and gradients to generate interesting color combinations. There are tons of Blend Modes that set how the patterns and colors interact with each other.
To get the free plugin, go to our Registration Page, or keep on reading!
Presets give you an easy and fun starting point. The Preset Manager holds combinations of color, lighting and grayscale depth. Once you have loaded a preset, you can dig into the ‘mixing’ process of color, fractal noise and bump maps. Make quick adjustments to the preset and render it out. Experiment and save your own presets to build a library of textures for future Photoshop projects.
Texture Anarchy is a sophisticated plugin suite for Adobe Photoshop. Use these three Photoshop texture filters to create beautiful, seamless procedural textures. Our tutorials will kickstart your fun.

AbstractFree-falling objects impacting onto water pools experience a very high initial impact force, greatest at the moment when breaking through the free surface. Many have intuitively wondered whether throwing another object in front of an important object (like oneself) before impacting the water surface may reduce this high impact force. Here, we test this idea experimentally by allowing two spheres to consecutively enter the water and measuring the forces on the trailing sphere. We find that the impact acceleration reduction on the trailing sphere depends on the dynamics of the cavity created by the first sphere and the relative timing of the second sphere impact. These combined effects are captured by the non-dimensional 'Matryoshka' number, which classifies the observed phenomena into four major regimes. In three of these regimes, we find that the impact acceleration on the second sphere is reduced by up to 78 % relative to impact on a quiescent water surface. Surprisingly, in one of the regimes the force on the trailing sphere is dramatically increased by more than 400 % in the worst case observed. We explain how the various stages of cavity evolution result in the observed alterations in impact force in this multi-body water entry problem.

Video Proof: Dead Whales Don’t Fit in Dumpsters
As if it wasn't bad enough for spectators to see a dead minke whale wash ashore at Jenness State Beach in New Hampshire earlier this week, they also had to witness crews attempting to lower the carcass into a dumpster and failing miserably.
The dumpster, which was going to be used to transport the whale to a facility where professionals could perform a necropsy, proved to be a bit too small for the 16-foot marine mammal.
According to Jason Schreiber's article in the Union Leader, crowds gathered along Rye Beach to watch the front end loader bring the two-ton mammal to a nearby parking lot and lower it into the dumpster for transport. However, as you will see from the video, things didn't go as planned.
The article says the operator of the front-end loader believed the whale's head would be the first to fall into the dumpster and the tail would hang out. Unfortunately, that didn't happen and the whale ended up crashing to the pavement. Eventually, a larger dumpster was brought in to transport the minke whale for a necropsy, which will determine its cause of death. | <urn:uuid:acb8a16a-9fb2-4122-91c2-6bba60e78020> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://wokq.com/video-proof-dead-whales-dont-fit-in-dumpsters/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572304.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816120802-20220816150802-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.971923 | 251 | 2.015625 | 2 |
What is the Education? ?Loan? ?With? ?Collateral? ?Options for MS in Ireland?
- Documents Required – NBFCs demand a slew of documents for education loans without collateral. These include academic records, proof of admission from the university in Ireland, income certificates and the KYC of both the student and the co-applicant.
The document formalities for each lender differ, turning the loan process confusing for the student. GyanDhan facilitates students with the lender’s customized document checklist to ensure that they are able to submit all their documents at one go. This expedites the procedure and also lowers the odds of rejection of their loan application.
An education loan with collateral brings in higher loan amounts than one without a guarantee. The reason for it is the security the applicant provides to the bank against non-repayment. Collateral can be a property or a financial asset. Also known as secured education loans, they have lower interest rates.
Which Educational Loan is Preferable for MS in Ireland – Unsecured or Secured?
With Ireland becoming one of the most preferred destinations for study abroad, the available options for educational loans for the country are also on the rise. This makes it even tougher for a candidate to pick out the offers which suit their profile and requirements perfectly. However, they can keep a few basic points in mind while making their decision. GyanDhan believes that a secured loan from PSUs is the best option for an education loan for MS in Ireland because it is offered at a considerably lower rate of interest. In case you can’t afford to pledge a security against the secured loan, then an unsecured loan from NBFCs is the only option left which charges relatively higher interest rates. Moreover, loans from banks offer additional tax benefits that are not offered by all the NBFCs. The loan processing fee at the banks too is lower than that of NBFCs.
However, in the case of any confusion related to education loans, feel free to get in touch with GyanDhan. We help you to surf through the available education loan options and select the most appropriate one.
What? ?is? ?the? ?Application? ?Procedure? ?for? ?Loans? ?for? ?Masters ?in? ?Ireland?
- Check if you are eligible for a loan here. Alternatively, request a callback.
- A GyanDhan education loan counsellor will call you to discuss all the loan options available for Ireland. Depending upon the lender from whom the loan is to be availed, the counsellor will guide you through the subsequent steps.
- Submission of all your supporting documents. (This is the critical step of the process. We payday loans MI greatly advise taking our counsellor’s support to guarantee that every required paperwork is submitted. For students living in metros and applying to a public bank for a loan, GyanDhan’s relationship officer will pick up the documents from your doorstep. For all other cities, we assist by setting up an appointment with the requisite bank manager. If the lender is a private bank, either GyanDhan’s banking partner collects the documents from your home, or you courier it to the appointed sales manager. If it’s an NBFC loan, then hard copies are not needed. You can upload the documents through our website.)
- The lender reviews your application and approves the loan as long as all criteria are met. At this stage, the bank or NBFC may ask additional information from you or your parents.
- On educational loan approval, you and the co-applicant sign a sanction letter to accept the bank loan. In case your lender is an NBFC, then the step is a payment of processing fee.
- After the agreement is signed, you can apply for loan disbursement. Do note that the disbursement has to occur in two to six months based on the lender and sanction letter validity. | <urn:uuid:d394ee07-5fac-4f44-87da-8ca2de579fcb> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://vapesera.co.uk/2022/03/21/what-is-the-education-loan-with-collateral-options-10/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.956014 | 827 | 1.5 | 2 |
When an individual wants to get some services from a surveyor , they will want to get the best surveyor. They usually have the right tools as well as knowledge on how they will provide the right services. Thus, it will be necessary for an individual to find the right surveyors who will provide the right surveyors for some quality services. An individual can start by doing some research so that they can get a better deal as well as quality services.
It will be necessary to find some information regarding the different companies that provide such services so that it can be easy when it comes to comparing them. An individual can get such information in different ways, of which they will want to consider a way they will find convenient. Some people may consider asking their friends for some recommendations or even referrals as they may have worked with the best surveyors. Such people will provide some information that an individual can as well use to get the right surveyors.
Also, some people may consider the online platform as it will help in getting some information regarding the companies that provide surveyors. Most such companies usually have websites where they will provide all the information needed to get the right services. An individual can visit the websites so that they can compare such information to choose a better surveyor to provide better services.
When it comes to comparing the different companies, an individual will want to consider a few aspects that will guarantee them quality services. An individual can start by looking at the region with which the companies provide their survey services. It will be easy as well as convenient working with a local company as they will provide faster services. Most of the local companies will have better information about the land within that region, which will help in getting the right services. Thus, those who are in Georgia, for instance, and need some surveyors, will want to choose a company within that region that provides such services.
Aside from that, an individual will also want to consider looking at the services that the surveyors will provide as well as their cost. It will be easier to get a better deal when an individual compares the rates of different companies. Thus, it will be necessary to consider getting some quotes from such companies as it will help in getting an affordable company. Also, an individual can consider getting the estimates so that they can have a better budget that will give them better services.
All in all, an individual will want to get all the information about the different surveyors so that they can be sure of getting some quality services. An individual can look at their experience as it will be a guarantee of getting quality services. The experienced Georgia surveyors will understand every aspect of providing better survey services in addition to satisfying their clients. Visiting the websites will provide detailed information such as contact information that will help in getting better customer support from the surveyors. | <urn:uuid:15ead582-22d2-4be4-a417-49948217ba12> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://60c9ddd0a07f8.site123.me/blog/a-better-way-to-find-the-right-surveyors | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.968768 | 569 | 1.648438 | 2 |

IntroductionRobin Hood and the bishop of Lichfield". It was always my plan to play more games in this setting, so here is another one. Actually, we played the scenario twice, since the first game was very short. Read on to find out what happened...
The ScenarioThe Sheriff of Nottingham and his dastardly men have taken Maid Marion prisoner. It's not important for the game how this occured - perhaps she was hiding out in a local nunnery, or maybe she was in disguise and visiting a sick aunt. Anyway, Robin Hood has heard about this and is giving chase through the forest, along with some of his men (the others are away on a raid elsewhere in the county). If the Sheriff can just drag his captive to within sight of the town of Nottingham then Robin's band won't dare to follow any further. Will Robin catch up and rescue the lady? Or will the Sheriff succeed with his nefarious plans?
We decided to play the Kidnap scenario from Song of Arthur and Merlin. Roughly speaking, one warband has captured someone important and must escort their prisoner from one side of the board to the next. They have a 1-turn head start over the rescuers, who are pursuing them. One figure from the kidnapper's band must spend an action every turn to keep the captive under control; a second action may then be used to move the prisoner and captor together. If the captive ever becomes uncontrolled then the rescuers may move that model as part of their warband - if thy make the requisite action rolls, of course!
Victory is determined as follows: 5 victory points to the kidnappers if they move the captive off the far table edge, or to the rescuers if they move the captive off any other table edge. 1 VP is also scored for each 50 points value of enemy figures lost. Since we were playing with 400 point warbands, this would give an absolute maximum of 8 points in the unlikely event that the enemy's warband was slaughtered to a man. The fate of the captive was more likely to determine who won the game!
The Sheriff's Men
- The Sheriff of Nottingham: moderate fighter, leader, evil
- Guy of Gisborne: good fighter, armour
- Yorik the Jester: poor fighter, dodge, distract
- Lesser Knights (Sir Stanley, Sir Walter): moderate fighter, armour
- 4 crossbowmen: modest shooting, rabble
- 13 men-at-arms: modest fighter, rabble
- Lady Marion: captive!
Robin's Men(Sadly, I didn't have enough personality points to field both Robin Hood and Little John - Robin is a very expensive character! I suppose that Little John is leading a different search party somewhere else)
- Robin Hood: good shooting, good fighting
- Friar Tuck: modest fighting, inspire
- 9 Merry Men: modest shooting
It proved remarkably difficult to bring any of the rescuers onto the table at all [the Song of Blades system allows you to roll 1, 2 or 3 dice per figure for actions - but if you get 2 failures then your turn is over. I tried rolling 2 dice usually, but had a stunning number of double failures]. After 2 turns, only 3 outlaws, Friar Tuck and Robin Hood himself had arrived. Rather than bring them on close to the mass of men-at-arms, I chose to try to outflank them and run for the knights and the prisoner.
The poor outlaw's horrible death unnerved Friar Tuck; he took a few steps away from the grisly sight. Robin Hood also had to take a morale test [because he was within "Long" distance of the kill (just)]. It shouldn't really have been a problem, but he rolled 3 failures and promptly legged it off the board. Oh, man! How could I possibly recover from this - I don't think that Friar Tuck was going to tackle all of the baddies on his own and even if more Merry Men had arrived, there was no certainty that they could catch up with the prisoner or overcome the escort. Game over, man!
Or was it?
As the knights jeered at the famed Robin Hood for running like a bunny rabbit, Maid Marion slipped from Sir Walter's grasp. She immediately ran in the opposite direction [Marion activated on a 5+ and was 2 moves away from the side edge of the table. If I could roll 2 activations out of 3 dice then she was off and safe - but I only rolled 1].
Well, that was unexpected. Final scores: 3VP to the Sheriff for vanquished foes, but 5VPs to the Outlaws for a prisoner escape. Victory to the Merry Men!
Game 2Whilst it was satisfying in some ways, the first game was over so quickly that we had enough time to play the same scenario again.
Meanwhile, the lesser knights and the jester, encouraged by the Sheriff, were crossing the table alarmingly fast. The Merry Men really couldn't afford to hesitate if they were to have any chance of rescuing Marion.
Result: 6VP to the Merry Men (for casualties caused), but 7VP to the Sheriff (2 for casualties cause and 5 for the captive). The bad guys win, Lady Marion is captured! | <urn:uuid:d7406f47-9367-4ff1-89f5-8d9095a74577> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://colgar6.blogspot.com/2014/04/robin-hood-and-abduction-of-marion.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572304.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816120802-20220816150802-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.970747 | 1,096 | 2 | 2 |

In order to qualify to sit for the registration examination under Category B, you will need to send in official transcripts along with course descriptions from the school’s catalog.
The course description must be applicable the same year the course was taken. Descriptions must include copies of the catalog cover page with the year showing, any pages showing the requirements for the major, and pages describing the courses the Office should consider. Only courses with a grade better than a ‘C-’ will be accepted.
While most universities use a semester hour standard based on a semester of 15 to 18 weeks, credits may be granted to those earned at a university with less than a typical 15 to 18 week semester.
Quarter-hour or trimester hour conversions can both be converted by multiplying the quarter or trimester hours by 2/3.
The Office will accept Certified English translations of transcripts, course descriptions, and other foreign language documents.
You may also send in other training including experience or other expertise along with other education and military service.
Specifically, you may send in objective evidence in scientific and technical training that is equivalent to that of one of the degrees listed in Category A. In this case, the burden is on you to establish possession of sufficient training and expertise equivalent to a Category A degree.
Note that the patent office has the final say as to whether or not you may sit for the registration exam.
Practical Engineering or Scientific Experience.
Category C relies on practical engineering or scientific experience by demonstrating that the individual has passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) test.
The FE test is a test of engineering fundamentals. The FE test is developed and administered by a State Board of Engineering Examiners in each State or comparable jurisdiction. It is not administered by the USPTO.
To qualify to sit for the patent exam under Category C, you must send in the official results of the FE test and include an official transcript showing the award of a Bachelor’s degree.
ELIGIBILITY OF ALIENS
Only U.S. citizens or permanent U.S. residents can be registered to practice law before the USPTO.
The patent bar is not administered to aliens who do not reside in the United States. An alien residing in the United States may apply to take the exam. However, to be admitted to take the patent bar, you must establish that your recognition is consistent with the capacity of employment authorized by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
The Canadian Intellectual Property Office offers substantially reciprocal privileges to those already admitted to practice before the USPTO. However, that is the only patent office that currently offers this arrangement.
If you meet the technical qualifications but are a non-immigrant alien then you may be given limited recognition before the USPTO provided recognition is consistent with the capacity of employment or training authorized by the USCIS.
The meaning of good moral character and reputation.
There are two main triggers for ineligibility to sit for the patent bar exam despite meeting the other qualifications.
The first one is for convictions including, but not limited to any confession to a crime, a verdict, or judgment finding a person guilty of a crime. If you have been convicted of a crime then you can still apply, but will need to send in an additional fee. The Director of the OED will determine if you have produced proof of reform and rehabilitation.
The second one is for disciplined professionals. If you have been disbarred from the practice of law or from any other profession or resigned a professional license due to a disciplinary proceeding, then you are ineligible to apply to take the patent bar exam for five years from the date of disbarment or resignation. If you are suspended from the practice of law or another profession, then you may not apply until your suspension is over.
If you are previously denied for lack of good moral character and reputation then you may not reapply for registration for two years after the date of the decision.
FAQS ABOUT THE PATENT BAR REQUIREMENTS
Who Can Take the Exam?
The Patent Bar is limited to scientists and engineers with the degrees posted above or a background showing technical skills in science or engineering. In order to write and prosecute patent applications, you must be skilled within a specific technology.
Why These Degrees?
These degrees are representative of the type of background required to understand many different inventions. As a patent practitioner, you will often help inventors file a patent application and navigate the patent prosecution process put forth by the US Patent and Trademark Office.
There are basically two main pathways. One is the pathway of an engineer and the other is the pathway of a scientist. You don’t need experience or coursework in both, just one will suffice. As long as you pass the patent bar then you will be registered as a patent practitioner.
Is US Citizenship Required?
You must be a U.S. citizen who resides in the U.S in order to qualify. However, aliens residing in the U.S. may apply. They should send in evidence of employment authorized by the USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services). Please check the official bulletin published by the USPTO for further details.
What if I Have a Law Degree, but No Science or Engineering Background?
In order to become a registered patent practitioner, you must qualify for the Patent Bar exam. Without one of the degrees listed above or a background in science or engineering, you do not qualify.
Therefore, in order to take the exam, you must gain a degree in one of the qualifying fields, take the required coursework outlined above, or take the FE exam.
What if I Don’t Have a Law Degree?
You don’t need a law degree to become a patent practitioner. If you’ve passed the Patent Bar exam without a law degree then you will become a registered Patent Agent. As a registered Patent Agent you can represent clients before the patent office writing and prosecuting patents. Only Patent Attorneys (those with a law degree who are eligible to practice law) may help with patent litigation.
Getting a law degree later is always an option, but many scientists and engineers wind up working in the field as Patent Agents. Whether or not you have a law degree has no bearing on taking the Patent Bar exam.
What is the Best Major for Becoming a Patent Pracitioner?
Electrical and mechanical engineers are in the highest demand. Life sciences degrees like biochemistry and molecular biology are also in demand although these typically require higher degree levels (like a Master’s degree or Ph.D.).
Realistically, any major on the list of requirements from the USPTO will work. There is no one best degree.
In order to gain employment as a patent practitioner, you must understand the technology you will be drafting patent applications in. You need to understand the prior art in order to evaluate whether the invention will be allowed or rejected. You need to understand it well enough to argue how the invention is patentably distinct from the prior art.
You will be drafting patents in your area of expertise. So if your background is in biochemistry, you’ll likely work with inventors who are on the cutting edge of a specific field in biochemistry. The inventions you’ll be working toward protecting will deal with biochemistry or possibly other scientific advancements in the field of biology.
In order to be the most employable your background should match an area where there are a lot of advancements being made or one where there are few people with the right background. Those are the fields where people are needed to help patent inventions.
An engineering degree is highly valued, but if you have the right background to sit for the Patent Bar exam, you should be able to gain employment in that particular field. It’s just a matter of the right opportunity coming around.
If you’re in a niche or specialized field the best thing to do is to research job posting sites online. Determine if firms or companies are hiring that type of patent practitioner in a specific location you’re interested in. That will give you an idea as to whether or not you can gain employment easily in this particular field or if it will be more difficult. You can decide from there whether this is the right move for you to make.
If you have a law degree in addition to a science or engineering background and you pass the patent bar exam then you will be registered as a patent attorney.
Is There any Certain Minor to Consider?
No, just take a minor that supports your major and/or is something you’ll enjoy.
Is it Best to Take the Patent Bar Exam in School (Like Law School or Graduate School) or After?
The sooner you can take the exam the better. As long as you meet the requirements to pass the exam, you should start preparing. It’s possible to pass this exam over summer if you study diligently or even over a few breaks (like summer, winter, and spring break) if you can’t quite squeeze it in over one.
Patent Agent and Attorney Salary Ranges
According to research on PayScale.com, the average pay for a Patent Agent is $100,733 a year.
If you contrast the average range with the average pay for those in science and engineering fields, you will see that a career as a Patent Agent is usually more lucrative. Often by as much as $20,000 to $30,000 more per year.
And keep in mind that if you choose to sit for the Patent Bar exam and become a Patent Agent, you may decide at a later date to attend law school. Once you meet the criteria for an attorney, then you will be able to change your status with the USPTO from Patent Agent to Patent Attorney.
Further research on PayScale.com shows that the average salary of a patent attorney is around $138,426. In a survey conducted by the American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA), the average patent attorney’s salary was much higher than those reported by PayScale. According to AIPLA, the average salary of their members (all patent practitioners) was over $180,000 a year.
At the top of the pay scale are partners in private firms who reportedly earn about $300,000 a year according to statistics by the AIPLA in a survey of its members.
Associates in private firms will make considerably less. The AIPLA reports that its associates earn an average of $125,000 a year during their first year. PayScale reports that the average starting salary for a patent attorney with between 1 and 4 year of experience is $90,000 to $140,000 a year.
Keep in mind that you do need a background in science and engineering to become a patent attorney. For this reason, many attorneys lack the credentials to practice patent law, which is one reason why the field is more in-demand than many other areas of legal practice.
A Bachelor’s degree in science or engineering will meet the criteria to take the patent bar exam, but some firms will expect a higher degree (i.e. graduate work) and/or related work experience. In addition to writing and prosecuting patent applications, as a patent attorney, you may also prepare for infringement cases and offer legal advice concerning the litigation.
As you can see, patent practitioners, whether agents or attorneys, earn a high salary.
How can I study for the Patent Bar Examination?
The best way to prepare yourself for the exam is to take a patent bar review course. The test covers the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure or MPEP which is a massive document complete with all the laws and rules for practicing patent law.
The exam consists of two three-hour sessions. There are 100 multiple choice questions in all. The pass rate is very low. Often less than half of those who sit for the exam pass it.
We offer a review course that is affordable and easy to navigate. The course covers exactly what you need to know to pass and is based on the currently tested source materials.
You can complete the course online so it is very convenient. Many of our clients pass the exam in 2 to 4 months. Once you pass the patent exam, you will be able to assist patent applicants before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. | <urn:uuid:08ab6583-3edc-4748-829f-40bfaf66a967> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.patenteducationseries.com/exam/qualifications.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572304.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816120802-20220816150802-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.931982 | 3,542 | 2.078125 | 2 |

The Uprising in Montenegro (Serbo-Croatian: Ustanak u Crnoj Gori / Устанак у Црној Гори), commonly known as the 13 July Uprising (Serbo-Croatian: Trinaestojulski ustanak / Тринаестојулски устанак) was an uprising against Italian occupation forces in Montenegro (Axis occupied Yugoslavia). Initiated by the Communist Party of Yugoslavia on 13 July 1941, it was suppressed within six weeks, but continued at a much lower intensity until Battle of Pljevlja on 1 December 1941. The insurgents were led by a combination of communists and former Royal Yugoslav Army officers from Montenegro. Some of the officers had recently been released from prisoner-of-war camps following their capture during the invasion of Yugoslavia. The communists managed the organisation and provided political commissars, while the insurgent military forces were led by former officers. The entire nation rejected the privileged position offered by its occupiers, rejected the capitulation in order to fight for Yugoslavia, together with "Russia" (the nationalist insurgents perceived the Soviet Union as Russia at the beginning of the uprising).
Within three weeks of the start of the uprising, the insurgents managed to capture almost all the territory of Montenegro. The Italian troops were forced to retreat to their strongholds in Pljevlja, Nikšić, Cetinje and Podgorica. The main insurgent commanders included the former officers Colonel Bajo Stanišić[clarification needed] and Major Đorđije Lašić,[clarification needed] with Captain Pavle Đurišić emerging as one of the principal leaders after he distinguished himself during the successful attack he led on Berane alongside communist forces.
The counter-offensive by more than 70,000 Italian troops, commanded by General Alessandro Pirzio Biroli, was assisted by Sandžak Muslim militia and Albanian irregular forces from border areas between Montenegro and Albania, and suppressed the uprising within six weeks. The former Royal Yugoslav Army officers and communists were in dispute over the insurgent's strategy. The nationalists wanted to protect the mountain villages if they were attacked. The communists disagreed and organized a frontal struggle against Italian forces in which the rebel forces were defeated. A split occurred between the insurgents because of their defeats, which were inflicted by the Italians, and because some of the insurgents realized that the uprising was led by the communists. Josip Broz Tito dismissed Milovan Đilas from the command of Partisan forces in Montenegro because of his mistakes during the uprising, particularly because Đilas chose a frontal struggle instead of guerrilla tactics against the Italian forces and because his "Leftist Errors". After the major defeat of 1 December 1941 during the unsuccessful attack of the communist forces on the Italian garrison in Pljevlja, many soldiers deserted Partisan forces and joined the anti-Communust Chetniks. Following this defeat, the communists terrorized the people they perceived as their enemies, which antagonized many in Montenegro.
The defeat of the communist forces during the Battle of Pljevlja, combined with the policy of terror they pursued, were the main reasons for the expansion of the conflict between the communist and nationalist insurgents in Montenegro following the uprising. In the second half of December 1941, nationalist military officers Đurišić and Lašić began a mobilization of armed units separate from the Partisans.
In early March 1942, Đurišić arranged one of the first collaboration agreements between the Italians and the Chetniks. This agreement was between Đurišić and Pirzio-Biroli, and related to the area of operations of the 19th Infantry Division Venezia. In May 1942, Đurišić attacked and defeated the last significant Partisan detachment in Montenegro. Based on agreements signed by the Italians with Đurišić and other Chetnik leaders, the Italian occupation in Montenegro was then effectively reduced to towns while Chetniks remained in control of the rest of the territory of Montenegro. In the second quarter of 1942, a joint Italian-Chetnik offensive resulted in the withdrawal of the remaining Partisan forces from Montenegro.
In April 1941, Germany and Italy invaded Montenegro, the Germans from Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Italians from Albania. The Germans later withdrew, leaving the Italians to occupy the area.
Due to the collapse of the Yugoslav Army, the general population of Montenegro had easy access to large amounts of military arms and ammunition. By July 1941, the Communist Party of Yugoslavia had over 1,800 members and another 3,000 youth members, located in the area of Montenegro, Kotor and the Sandzak. Most of these were ready to commence an armed uprising against the Axis powers and the occupying Italians in particular. Grievances mainly related to the expulsion of Montenegrin people from the Kosovo region and Vojvodina, as well as the influx of refugees from other parts of Yugoslavia. Other refugees were fleeing the terror of the Ustaše in the regions along the borders with Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Montenegrins also hated the Italians because they had annexed important food-producing territories around Kosovo and a salt-producing facility at Ulcinj to Albania. This was coupled with the economic damage inflicted by the temporary removal from circulation of Yugoslav banknotes of 500 dinars and more.
But the event that triggered the uprising was the proclamation of a restored Kingdom of Montenegro headed by an Italian regent and led by Montenegrin separatist Sekula Drljević and his supporters, known as "Greens" (zelenaši). This proclamation was announced by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was issued to the Italian-convoked assembly of Montenegrin separatists held on 12 July 1941. The uprising broke out the following day.
In early July 1941, a senior Montenegrin member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, Milovan Đilas, arrived in Montenegro from Belgrade to start the communist struggle against the occupying forces. The general uprising in Montenegro broke out on 13 July 1941, initiated by the Communist Party of Yugoslavia. Large numbers of non-communists joined the uprising, including many former Royal Yugoslav Army officers, some pro-communist but most having strong nationalist sentiments. It was the third uprising in Axis-occupied Yugoslavia in the summer of 1941. The insurgent forces were led by the former officers, some of whom had recently been released from prisoner-of-war camps. The communists dealt with the organisation and provided political commissars. The insurgents also included large numbers of Serb nationalists known as "Whites" (Serbian: бјелаши) and armed villagers. The insurgents seized control of small towns and villages in the early phase of the uprising.
On 14 July insurgents attacked Italian gendarmes in Mojkovac and soon captured the town. On 15 July in Košćele, near Rijeka Crnojevića, two detachments of 80 insurgents (from Ljubotinj and Upper Ceklin) ambushed a convoy of trucks transporting Italian II Border guard battalion from Podgorica. Italian forces were sent to release Cetinje which was besieged by the insurgents. After eight hours battle the insurgents were victorious and killed 70–80 Italian soldiers and officers, wounded 260 and captured remaining 440.
Insurgents captured several small boats in Virpazar. On 16 July they used one of them to transport 46 captured Italian soldiers to Scutari, in exchange for medical supplies and food.
On 17 July, amidst the worst of the fighting during the successful attack he led on Berane, then-Captain Pavle Đurišić distinguished himself, and emerged as one of the main commanders of the uprising. During the attack on Berane, Đurišić fought alongside communist insurgent forces. Đilas attempted to get Stanišić to accept overall command of the uprising, but Stanišić refused. On 18 July, Đilas established the Command of People's Liberation Troops of Montenegro, Boka and Sandžak under his own command, with the advice of those former Yugoslav Army officers that were willing to fight under communist control. On 20 July insurgents captured Bijelo Polje with an Italian garrison of 180 soldiers and officers.
Within three weeks from the start of the uprising, Italian troops were forced to retreat to their strongholds in Pljevlja, Nikšić, Cetinje, and Podgorica. Milovan Đilas and Arso Jovanović were sent from Serbia to coordinate the actions of the insurgents. According to Cavallero, most of the insurgent forces were led by former officers of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia until the end of October 1941.
On 16 July 1941, General Cavallero, the Commander-in-Chief of the Italian Army Group in Albania, gave order to General Alessandro Pirzio Biroli to suppress the uprising "at whatever cost." On 25 July 1941, Benito Mussolini appointed Biroli, former governor of Asmara, with complete civil and military powers in Montenegro. He believed that force was the only thing the Balkan mentality recognized. That is why he urged for extreme retaliation. On 5 August, Biroli issued an order to the population to surrender all firearms, and on 8 August, he ordered confiscation of insurgents' property.
Biroli commanded the Italian counter-offensive which was the first offensive of the occupying Axis forces in Yugoslavia. Italian troops consisted of six divisions (Messina, Puglie, Pusteria, Taro, Venezia and Cacciatori delle Alpi), two Blackshirts Legion (108 and 164), two combat groups (I group of Cavalry Regiment Cavalleggeri Guide and Skanderbeg) and two battalions of border guard. A force of more than 70,000 Italian troops attacked the insurgents, assisted by around 20,000 members of Moslem militia from Sandžak, Plav and Gusinje and Albanian irregular forces from border areas who provided flank security. The Vulnetari from Kosovo, mostly from the region of Đakovica, came to Plav and Gusinje to support the Italian counter-offensive. Transfer of two Italian divisions (Tarro and Cacciatori delle Alpi) to the Eastern Front was cancelled and they were directed against the insurgents in Montenegro.
In one of his reports written in August 1941, Biroli explained that the Division Venezia advanced from Podgorica to Kolašin and Andrijevica. He reported that this division was supported with Alpini troops and Albanian forces under command of Captain Prenk Cali from Vermosh and by forces from Đakovica. Despite fierce resistance of the insurgents, Italian forces managed to re-occupy the region of Kolašin, Andrijevica and Berane, and released from captivity 879 Italian soldiers and officers.
In the middle of August on the part of the front toward Rožaje commanded by Pavle Đurišić and toward Čakor commanded by Đorđije Lašić the rebel representatives and Italian forces organized negotiations. The delegation of rebels was headed by Milutin Jelić. The peace with Italian forces was agreed. Initially the rebel requests were the following:
The Italian side accepted parts of the rebel demands by agreeing to stop torching villages and by retreating Albanian forces, while rebels obliged themselves to allow Italians to re-occupy towns captured by rebels during the uprising. Italian troops regained control over all towns and communication routes within six weeks. Biroli issued the orders to crush the revolt, but directed his forces to avoid "acts of revenge and useless cruelty". Nevertheless, in crushing the revolt, dozens of villages were burned, hundreds were killed and between 10,000 and 20,000 residents were interned. For a while, the Muslim and Albanian irregulars were permitted to pillage and torch villages.
After the counteroffensive Italians did not rebuild their posts in the villages because they were afraid they could again be an easy prey of the insurgents. As a result, most of the rural areas of Montenegro were not reoccupied. This allowed insurgents to obtain easier communication, supply and other activities.
Main article: Leftist errors (Yugoslavia)
After the initial success of the uprising, communists took charge of the situation. Their bloody rule antagonized many people in Montenegro. Đilas and Partisans conducted a brief reign of terror and soon realized that such policy made it harder for them to find supplies and safe hideouts and to recruit new forces. The Partisans pursued the policy of mass terror not only against their soldiers who deserted them after the Battle of Pljevlja, but also against their families, against Chetniks and their families, against wealthier traders, peasants and any professionals they perceived as their potential class enemies. This policy is referred to as the "leftist deviation". On 22 October 1941 Tito dismissed Milovan Đilas from the command of Partisan forces in Montenegro because of his mistakes during the uprising, including his "Leftist Errors".
Main article: Battle of Pljevlja
After the setback caused by the Italian counteroffensive, toward the end of 1941, the insurgents recovered and resumed with their activities. On 1 December, the Partisan forces attacked Pljevlja but failed to capture it and retreated after suffering heavy casualties. Partisan forces counted 203 killed and 269 wounded soldiers. Many partisans deserted their units and joined the Chetniks. Following their defeat in the Battle of Pljevlja, partisans terrorized people, plundered villages and executed captured Italians, party "sectarians" and "perverts". The Battle of Pljevlja was the last major conflict of the Uprising in Montenegro. Following this battle the communists were expelled from Montenegro until spring 1943.
A split developed between the insurgents was a result of their defeats inflicted by the Italians and realization by some of them that the uprising was led by the communists. Partisans were determined to carry on with the communist revolution while nationalists recognized that the uprising had been defeated and wanted to stop fighting. In northern Montenegro, there was a particular distinction between communists and nationalists. The communists wanted to continue with the revolution by turning against their class enemies. The focus of the nationalists was to avoid provoking the Italians but to protect the mountain villages if they were attacked. During the autumn, the nationalists contacted the Italians and offered to assist them to fight the Partisans. Subsequently, the nationalists, including Đurišić who was popular in his own Vasojević clan of northern Montenegro, withdrew into the hinterland. Most nationalist commanders took neither side in the sporadic clashes between Italian forces and insurgent forces that became increasingly dominated by Partisans.
There were two main reasons for the expansion of the conflict between the two groups of insurgents: a major defeat of Partisan forces during their attack on the Italian garrison in Pljevlja and terror conducted by communists, the so-called "Left Deviations". "A land without Chetniks was suddenly overwhelmed by Chetniks" largely due to the policy of Left Deviations which resulted in a temporary defeat of the Partisan movement in Montenegro in 1942. The general uprising of the people of Montenegro became a civil war.
In early November 1941 Tito dismissed Milovan Đilas from the command of Partisan forces in Montenegro because of his mistakes during the uprising, including his "Leftist Errors". Tito emphasized that Đilas made mistakes because he organized a frontal struggle of armies against a much stronger enemy instead of connecting the Partisan struggle with the people's uprising and adopting the partisan methods of resistance. Đilas was appointed as editor of the paper Borba, the Party's main propaganda organ.
The uprising continued to a reduced extent until December 1941.
The population of Serbia also turned against the uprising and communist insurgents because of their repression and intention to carry on a communist revolution. The Partisans moved from Serbia to Bosnia (nominally NDH) and joined their comrades who had already left Montenegro. Together, they made up the First Proletarian Brigade established by Tito on 21 December 1941, in Rudo, southeastern Bosnia.
On 20 December 1941, Draža Mihailović, a prominent Chetnik leader later supported by the Yugoslav government-in-exile, appointed Đurišić as the commander of all regular and reserve troops in central and eastern Montenegro and parts of the Sandžak. On 21 December 1941, the Italians declared that they would hold Montenegro responsible if their troops were attacked again. In the second half of December 1941, Đurišić and Lašić began the mobilization and establishment of armed units separated from Partisans. By the middle of January 1942 these units were in armed conflict with Partisans. On 12 January 1942, the Italians specified how they intended to punish the Montenegrins in case of attack on Italian forces: 50 civilians would be executed for every killed or wounded Italian officer. In the case of regular soldiers, 10 civilians would be killed. Biroli was proclaimed a war criminal because of the crimes committed by the Italian forces commanded by him in Montenegro. In February 1942, the Italians estimated that there were about 8,000 Partisans and 5,000 Chetniks operating in Montenegro.
In early March 1942, Đurišić arranged one of the first collaboration agreements between the Italians and the Chetniks. This agreement was with Biroli, and related to the area of operations of the 19th Infantry Division Venezia. In May 1942, Đurišić attacked and defeated the last significant Partisan detachment in Montenegro. Partisan forces were pushed out from most of Montenegro. As they retreated, they pillaged and burned villages that did not support them. The towns remained under Italian occupation while Chetniks were allowed to control the rest of Montenegro. The Partisans retreated from Montenegro and joined other Partisans in Bosnia. Except for some individuals and small underground units, Partisans did not re-enter Montenegro for almost a year.
Following the withdrawal of the Partisans from Montenegro, the Chetniks repeated the same mistakes the Partisans had made, establishing prison camps, conducting show trials and killing indiscriminately. These actions were not just targeted at the remaining communists, but also against the Sandzak Muslims. Chetnik massacres of Muslims were perpetrated in particular in the towns of Bijelo Polje, Pljevlja and the village of Bukovica.[when?] This resulted in the Muslims establishing village militias to defend against both the Partisans and Chetniks.
Mosa Pijade (1890–1957) Prominent Party theoretician of Serbian Jewish origin. With Djilas he led the Partisan uprising in Montenegro in 1941.
Soon the rebels had killed or captured more than 2,000 Italian soldiers....
In a very short period of time almost all the territory of Montenegro (with exception of some important cities) fell into hands of the communists. But the communist made mistake and started to fight against their class enemy (i.e. members of the Montenegrin burgoise) which made them weaker. The Italians resumed their attacks and by the mid August 1941 had again enforced their control in Montenegro....Out of fear of the “red-terror,” a significant percentage of Montenegrins started to cooperate with the Chetniks, who started to attack Partisans..... The Partisan movement strengthen again in Autumn.
General Pirzio Biroli, governor of Montenegro, argued that the Balkan mentality only recognized force and urged extreme and retaliation.
Because of these excesses, on 22 October Tito decided to recall Đilas from Montenegro.
Following the failed communist attempt to revive operations by attacking Pljevlja (December 1941), which was the last major engagement of the uprising, they were expelled from Montenegro, and relative peace reigned in most parts until the spring of 1943. | <urn:uuid:92e8fd29-24aa-4d47-a573-87c6c0c08707> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://db0nus869y26v.cloudfront.net/en/Uprising_in_Montenegro_(1941) | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.975046 | 4,591 | 3.53125 | 4 |
Humans Optimize Decision-Making by Delaying Decision Onset
Why do humans make errors on seemingly trivial perceptual decisions? It has been shown that such errors occur in part because the decision process (evidence accumulation) is initiated before selective attention has isolated the relevant sensory information from salient distractors. Nevertheless, it is typically assumed that subjects increase accuracy by prolonging the decision process rather than delaying decision onset. To date it has not been tested whether humans can strategically delay decision onset to increase response accuracy. To address this question we measured the time course of selective attention in a motion interference task using a novel variant of the response signal paradigm. Based on these measurements we estimated time-dependent drift rate and showed that subjects should in principle be able trade speed for accuracy very effectively by delaying decision onset. Using the time-dependent estimate of drift rate we show that subjects indeed delay decision onset in addition to raising response threshold when asked to stress accuracy over speed in a free reaction version of the same motion-interference task. These findings show that decision onset is a critical aspect of the decision process that can be adjusted to effectively improve decision accuracy.

The beginning of the 21st century is marked by profound societal changes as well as rapid social change. The complexity of the world has increased exponentially, and political, economic and sociocultural developments can at present only be analyzed and understood in a global context.
The context of a globalized world also makes demands on pedagogical thought and action and requires a new understanding of education that goes beyond the teaching of factual knowledge. The educational concept of global citizenship education, which is meant consideration transdisciplinary approach across all areas of teaching, centers on an increasing growth of complexity and development towards a global society. The core purpose of contemporary education is to enable (young) individuals to understand these complex developments and to reflect critically on them.
In response to these new challenges, this UNESCO Chair establishes an education hub, where civic education, global learning, intercultural learning, education for sustainable development and the culture of diversity and peace merge into the integrative concept of global citizenship education. It is this very combination that constitutes the new and unique feature of this project.
On this web page you can find information on all the events, research, and education happening in relation to the UNESCO Chair Global Citizenship Education – Culture of Diversity and Peace at the University of Klagenfurt.

“Global Citizenship Education, as education for a form of global learning and thinking, as a form of learning for the world society, as a way of constructing and shaping a new understanding of social responsibility and participation, is an adventure. The idea behind this, namely that global viewpoints and strategies of action have become indispensable for the big and small questions of our lives, our coexistence, our interaction with our “Homeland Earth” (Morin/Kern 1999), poses a challenge on many levels to that which is known and familiar.” (Hans Karl Peterlini)
Education for Global Citizenship

The university course (ULG) “Global Citizenship Education” is a unique initiative for the social strengthening, school and extracurricular dissemination and scientific deepening of the idea of global citizenship. The course is a “train the trainer” program, offering theory-based continuing education in global citizenship education.
Scope 120 ECTS
Planned duration of studies 6 Semesters
Global Citizenship Education Info Brochures
Education for Diversity and Peace
Master’s degree programme “Diversity education in school and society”
In this master’s programme (in German), students extend their knowledge of pedagogy and educational science by focusing on various aspects of diversity in a globalized and pluralistic society. Issues, such as age, (dis)ability, ethnicity, gender, sex, migration, language, culture, and socio-economic status are not dealt with in isolation but rather in their interconnected nature so as to raise awareness of the social inequality connected to them.
Scope 120 ECTS
Planned duration of studies 4 semesters
Extension programme Intercultural/transcultural competences
Students learn how to deal with diversity and difference and can put these competences to creative use when it comes to addressing their own professional and practical needs. Students are able to link theoretical knowledge about diversity with cultural practices and inter-/transcultural processes and can reflect thereon.
Scope: 32 ECTS credits
Planned duration of studies: 2 semesters
Extension curricula Transdisciplinary peace studies
It is possible for students of this EC to have diverse access to theory and practical application in the following areas: war and peace, violence and non-violence, culture and conflict, civil conflict resolution and mediation, culture of remembrance and the politics of memory, migration and diversity, human rights education, peace education and citizenship, intercultural learning and global citizenship education. Beyond this, current international conflicts and their relationship to regional and local developments will be studied.
Scope 32 ECTS
Planned duration of studies 2 semesters

Global Campus online
The “Global Campus Online” (GloCo) is an international teaching-learning hub for students, researchers, professionals, and stakeholders from different world regions, who are dedicated to tackling the pressing issues of the 21st century. The heart of the project is a network of international dialogue groups that regularly meet to discuss the global crises and challenges and their implications for global and transformative education. These groups are formed by participants from different countries in the global south and the global north, who bring together their unique perspectives, professional backgrounds and experiences in the discussion of local perspectives on global problems and transdisciplinary, transnational solution approaches. In a next step, we encourage the dialogue groups to use the exchange and network to create local initiatives and projects in relation to the discussed topics. Possible projects will be financially supported by the UNESCO Chair.
Overall, the project aims to foster a mutual learning process and exchange between its participants, who then in turn serve as multipliers in their respective communities. Ideally this process will also inspire and support the development of different learning opportunities and formats for transformative learning and Global Citizenship Education, best practice examples and local initiatives as well as related scientific contributions and publications.
Global Citizenship Education (GCED) aims to empower learners of all ages to assume active roles, both locally and globally, in building more peaceful, tolerant, inclusive and secure societies.
On the following page you can find a selection of literature and other publications that have been created throughout the project. Additionally you will also find links to further research and projects that are connected to the work done at the UNESCO chair.
International Migration Conference 2021
In respect to migration very different forms of borders and border-making develop their impact. In the dynamic process, social, political, and cultural factors and contextual situations become visible, within which societal and social structures and specific social practices are manifest.
In the context of these practices, very individual and diverse forms of dealing with migration – and also with borders – arise and crystallize. The conference seeks to investigate these aspects, inter alia with reference to the debates on decolonizing, utilizing the method of border thinking, a critical thinking about borders anchored in epistemic disobedience. In this connection, the dominance of Western thinking regarding universality – which shapes and pervades Western modernity – will be countered and contrasted with concepts grounded on pluriversality.

Thomas Hirschhorn at RMIT Gallery, Melbourne
Thomas Hirschhorn is part of the group exhibition ‘ The Image Looks Back’ at RMIT Gallery in Melbourne, Australia. In an era of post truth, fake news, and manipulated images, ‘The Image Looks Back’ explores the reconfiguration of photography, asking how notions of visual truth and human experience are shaped by new technologies of vision. If the photograph has conventionally been understood as a record or memory of the world, what happens when the image looks back?

Reliable and punctual river traffic is particularly well suited to the logistics of recoverable products: it produces little noise and visual pollution and the pollution generated represents barely 1% of global CO2 emissions (51% for road transport), and also offers a floating storage solution. HAROPA PORT has chosen to increase the possibilities of river and river-sea waste logistics, contributing to an increase of more than 30% in river waste traffic. Transport capacity, in terms of volume and load, is higher than all other modes: an adapted fleet allows the transport of from 300 to 5,000 tons in one trip, 24 hours a day.
A network for the Seine axis
The economic sector of recoverable products is very well established on the Seine axis with more than 1,500 establishments and generates traffic of nearly 6 million tonnes per year, making it the second largest user of waterways in Ile de France.
Among the activities of this sector:
- collection of waste from selective sorting
- treatment and disposal of hazardous waste
- recycling of construction waste
- recovery of sorted waste
HAROPA PORT: sustainable and eco-responsible assets
To meet the requirements of the sector, HAROPA PORT combines all the major advantages:
- connection to a network adapted to high carrying capacities
- river logistics solutions from the heart of France's leading consumer market
- a rich and varied multimodal offer connected to the international market
- the establishment of industrial and logistical sites dedicated to the sector on HAROPA PORTS
- dedicated support by a HAROPA PORT expert specializing in the waste sector.
HAROPA PORT focus: for UPM paper, the road is the river
UPM's wastepaper flows are transported by waterway to Grand Couronne (Haute-Normandie) for recycling in the group's plant. In return, the 45-foot containers are loaded with new paper reels for use in the Paris region printing plants. UPM's containerized river traffic between Grand-Couronne and the port of Gennevilliers reduces CO2 emissions by 81% compared to a 100% road solution.
HAROPA PORT carries out numerous actions to promote modal shift (with private players but also public project managers; Syctom, RATP, SNCF, Ile de France MOBILITE, Société du Grand Paris, Sietrem…). | <urn:uuid:d9c3f700-72ad-4cab-86e6-b20eb3be535c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.haropaport.com/en/havre/haropa-port-committed-player-serving-sector-strong-potential | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572304.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816120802-20220816150802-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.912863 | 494 | 1.679688 | 2 |

The Fifth Fleet is an organization of the UNSC Navy commanded by Fleet Admiral Joseph Harper. It participated in the Battle of Earth on October 20, 2552 as part of the UNSC Home Fleet. The fleet consisted of eight Marathon-class heavy cruisers and sixty-seven Stalwart-class light frigates.
Battle for Earth
When the Prophet of Regret's Fleet of Sacred Consecration launched their assault on Earth, Admiral Harper, aboard his flagship the UNSC Canberra, led the Fifth Fleet into battle with the intention of engaging the numerically disadvantaged Covenant fleet head on. Instead, Fleet Admiral Terrence Hood advised Harper to dedicate the bulk of his force towards defending the orbital cluster consisting of Cairo, Athens, and Malta stations. The Fifth Fleet formed a defensive net around the cluster and attacked any approaching Covenant cruisers as Regret's flagship, the Solemn Penance advanced into Earth orbit. As the Covenant armada fell into disarray Regret's two assault carriers plowed through the cluster and the Fifth Fleet sustained huge losses in preventing their advance to the surface. Despite these losses, they succeeded in bringing down the shields of one of the two vessels. Thus, with the intervention of SPARTAN-II supersoldier John-117 the assets of the Fifth Fleet saw the destruction of the carrier holding position in Earth's orbit, but the second carried the Hierarch to Africa to resume his assault on the planet.
As the ground battle in New Mombasa intensified, several vessels attached to the Fifth Fleet dedicated their contingents of ODSTs of the 105th and 65th shock troops divisions to reinforce the UNSC's ground forces and to board the Penance. These vessels, among them the cruiser UNSC Say My Name deployed these Helljumpers into Earth's atmosphere above the city, moments before the Prophet fled the planet upon the failure of his assault.

UniVerse 11.3.2 supports replicating of Type 1 and 19 files via sequential I/O
UniVerse Type 1/19 files have been broadly used in UniVerse applications. In the older versions of UniVerse, writing a record into a Type 1/19 file via a standard WRITE statement or ED will be replicated. However, the updates done via sequential I/O capabilities of BASIC would not be replicated to the subscriber. This has been a major pain point for some of our MV customers because they need to handle this scenario by themselves but still face the risk of missing data on subscriber systems.
Now, in the recently released UniVerse 11.3.2, U2 Replication will support replicating updates done to records in UniVerse Type 1 and 19 files via sequential I/O (i.e. CREATE, WRITESEQ, WRITESEQF, WRITEBLK etc.).
Operations to be replicated
Logically any BASIC statements that make updates to a sequential file will be replicated to the subscriber, including:
Replication of CREATE
The BASIC CREATE statement creates a sequential file. If the parent directory, Type 1/19 file, is a replication object (please refer to the end of this blog post entitled Best practice – Configuration), the activity will be replicated to subscribers.
The ownership of the newly created sequential file follows the same rule as CREATE.FILE, that is:
- If RW_UID is configured in repconfig, the sequential file’s owner will be set to RW_UID;
- Otherwise, if the UID passed from the publisher is a valid user of the subscriber, then it is the owner of the sequential file to be created;
- Otherwise, the owner of the parent directory will be the owner of the sequential file to be created.
Replication of WRITESEQF, and FLUSH
A WRITESEQF statement consists of two steps: a WRITESEQ followed by a FLUSH.
For details regarding WRITESEQ, please refer to section “3. Replication of WRITESEQ, and WRITEBLK”. The FLUSH statement triggers sending all data present in the sequential buffer to the subscriber immediately.
Replication of WRITESEQ, and WRITEBLK
Both statements write data to sequential files. The difference is that WRITESEQ will append an extra newline character to the end of the data.
From a performance perspective, data written by WRITESEQ and WRITEBLK will be buffered by default and will not be immediately copied to the subscriber until one of the following three conditions is met.
- Buffer is full;
- One of the following operations is executed: – FLUSH, CLOSESEQ, WRITESEQF, WEOFSEQ, NOBUF;
- An executed operation affects the offset – SEEK, READSEQ, READBLK.
All these methods will ensure that data in the buffer is transferred to subscribers before the execution of the next statement. However, these actions will inevitably impact performance because of the extra I/O and network activities.
With that, you need to strike a balance between data consistency and performance. If data consistency is more important than performance in your business context, then you can use NOBUF at the very beginning of opening a sequential file, as shown below. This will close the buffer mechanism. Or, you can use one of the statements mentioned above in bullet point b and c when you think it’s time to forcibly send the data in the buffer to subscribers.
This statement truncates the sequential file at its current offset and then immediately informs the subscribers about the operation.
Limitations & Notes
- U2 Replication does not replicate operations on devices.
For example, the statement SEND writes a block of data to a device that has been opened for I/O using OPENDEV or OPENSEQ. This kind of operation will not be replicated to subscribers.
- U2 Replication doesn’t convert newline characters.
Your publisher and subscriber may have different newline characters, for example, CR+LF(‘\r\n’) for Linux, LF(‘\n’) for Windows. U2 Replication just transfers exactly what’s generated on the publisher to subscribers and doesn’t convert newline characters.
- Different behavior from previous versions
For users who have an account group, once you upgrade to UniVerse 11.3.2, the Type 1/19 files under this account will be replicated to subscribers if your application uses Sequential I/O. This behavior is different from previous versions. If you do not want to replicate these files, you’ll need to exclude them.
The configuration is very straightforward, you simply need to make sure the parent directory of the target sequential files is a replicate-able object. It can be defined using the FILE phrase in repconfig, or it can be implicitly defined in an account level group.
- Give it a shot!
Use the simple BASIC program below to quickly take advantage of this feature. All you need to do is run it and then verify that the data is the same between publisher and subscriber.
Here’s another example that represents the buffer mechanism of this new feature. The buffer size on Linux is 4096 bytes.
The feature mentioned in this blog post is available in UniVerse 11.3.2.

Most card games require good memory to dominate your opponents, and Hearts is no different.
Since most of use are not like Rain Man and are not able to remember every detail of the hand, here are a few things that you really need to keep track of:
- Where is the Queen of Spades. In case you ware the one that passed it, you should remember that you did so. This will really help you when you want to dump A or K of Spades, or when deciding to pick up a trick and unload a high card or playing it safe with a low card.
- Which of the Queen-or-higher Spades ware already played. Especially important when you are actually holding one of them. In case you have the Queen, it’s also great, if you can keep track of all the Spades. That way you might be able to know exactly when to lead with it.
- Who is out of which suit. By keeping track of this you can predict what they will play and play accordingly.
- Keep track of Hearts! You should always do this. Not only will you know, if you are in danger of picking one up, but you’ll might also be able to spoil someones attempt to shoot for the moon. Keep track of which of the high ones ware played, who took them and how many ware played altogether.
- Keep track of suits that you have a lot of. You don’t want to get stuck leading the game and taking all the tricks (unless you want to shoot for the moon).
That’s it! It might seem like a lot… and it is, but you’ll probably get a pretty good feeling for it after a while and you’ll start keeping track of most of these things subconsciously.
Another good thing is that you’ll give your brain a good exercise by doing this:) | <urn:uuid:5b6c7e47-fa0f-4033-abc3-a88d1c82475b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://cardgamesplanet.com/hearts-strategy-memory/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572161.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815054743-20220815084743-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.968618 | 398 | 1.921875 | 2 |

If you’ve read this article you know naps are essential for babies and toddlers. But just because they’re a must doesn’t mean they’re easy. In fact, making sure little ones are napping regularly and well is one of the biggest challenges for parents and caregivers.
Here are common nap questions and expert answers:
Does it Matter Where My Child Naps?
Experts weigh in differently on the best places for children to nap, especially during the first 2 months when they seem to sleep soundly anywhere. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, though, a crib is the safest place for little ones to sleep — night and day. What’s more, consistently putting your child to sleep in his crib creates a crib-sleep association that can help him fall and stay asleep.
This means that as long as your child is taking more than one nap a day, you may feel trapped at home. Make the most of his awake time by getting out as soon as he wakes up from a nap. Be sure to get back home before he starts to get tired; falling asleep on the go can sabotage his next nap (hello, cranky baby).
How Do I Set Up a Nap Schedule?
Quality daytime sleep relies not only on a consistent nap environment, but also consistent nap times. Nap times do not need to be rigid; the key is establishing a daily routine that includes napping around the same times each day. Here are 2 key questions to consider when it comes to setting up a nap schedule:
1) How much daytime sleep does my child need?
The chart below shows average daytime sleep needs for little ones.
|Age||Total Hours of Daytime Sleep||Number of Naps||Timing of Naps|
|Newborn – 2 months||7-9||Varies||Varies|
Late Afternoon (if needed)
Morning (if needed)
|18-24 months||2||1||Early Afternoon|
2) How long can my child stay comfortably awake?
Although there’s a lot of variability in all areas of baby and toddler sleep, sleep guru Elizabeth Pantly offers general guidelines for how long you can expect your child to stay comfortably awake:
|Newborn||45 minutes – 2 hours|
|By 6 months||2-3 hours|
|By 12 months||3-4 hours|

When your little one’s awake-time window is closing, keep an eye out for these signs of tiredness and put him to sleep right away:
- Rubbing eyes
- Disinterest in interacting or playing
- Wanting to be held
If you wait too long after seeing these signs, he may become overtired. It can be hard for overtired babies to fall and stay asleep.
You will start to notice a pattern of when your child is ready for naps, which you can use to create a daily nap schedule.
Don’t get too comfortable, though! Every few months your little one’s sleep needs will change, keeping you on your toes as you adjust his nap schedule accordingly. Keep our sleep charts handy and watch for signs that he’s ready for less sleep. In general, you’ll know his sleep needs are changing when he can stay awake for longer without showing signs of tiredness.
What if Your Child Attends a Group Daycare?
If your child attends a group daycare, his naps are likely built into their schedule. Some little ones adapt well to daycare naps while others struggle to. What’s more, it’s not uncommon for children to nap like champs at daycare but not well at home (or vice versa). It’s important to communicate with your daycare provider about naps, and align as much as possible on when and how your little one falls asleep.
These tips should help your child get the most out of daytime snoozing. But if he can’t find a nap groove no matter what you try, be sure to check in with your pediatrician for guidance. | <urn:uuid:e62542ba-91bc-47fd-9743-d47bbde3c4be> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://administrator.babysparks.com/2019/02/28/the-how-to-guide-for-naps/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572161.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815054743-20220815084743-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.931251 | 1,007 | 1.945313 | 2 |

The EEOC is focusing on artificial intelligence and algorithmic fairness in the workplace.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is initiating an attempt to ensure that artificial intelligence (AI) and other new tools used in hiring and other employment decisions are compliant with federal civil rights laws. The initiative will look at how technology is fundamentally changing how employers make hiring decisions, with the goal of guiding applicants, employees, employers, and technology vendors in making sure that these technologies are used fairly and in accordance with federal equal employment opportunity laws.
“Artificial intelligence and algorithmic decision-making tools have great potential to improve our lives, including in the area of employment,” EEOC Chair Charlotte Burrows said. “At the same time, the EEOC is keenly aware that these tools may mask and perpetuate bias or create new discriminatory barriers to jobs. We must work to ensure that these new technologies do not become a high-tech pathway to discrimination.”
- Establish an internal working group to coordinate the agency’s work on the initiative;
- Launch a series of listening sessions with key stakeholders about algorithmic tools and their employment ramifications;
- Gather information about the adoption, design, and impact of hiring and other employment-related technologies;
- Identify promising practices; and
- Issue technical assistance to provide guidance on algorithmic fairness and the use of AI in employment decisions.
This is a work in progress. The new initiative builds on the Commission’s previous work in this area. Since at least 2016, when the EEOC convened a public discussion on the EEO implications of big data in the workplace, the Commission has been looking into the use of AI, people analytics, and big data in hiring and other employment decisions. In 2021, the EEOC’s systemic investigators underwent comprehensive training on the use of artificial intelligence in employment practices.
“Bias in employment arising from the use of algorithms and AI falls squarely within the Commission’s priority to address systemic discrimination,” according to Burrows. “While the technology may be evolving, antidiscrimination laws still apply. The EEOC will address workplace bias that violates federal civil rights laws regardless of the form it takes, and the agency is committed to helping employers understand how to benefit from these new technologies while also complying with employment laws.” | <urn:uuid:24048085-1d5d-42f4-81e6-92981f8c4137> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://candidbyteneice.com/2021/11/03/the-eeoc-is-focusing-on-artificial-intelligence-and-algorithmic-fairness-in-the-workplace/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.932627 | 481 | 2.3125 | 2 |

… you are dust, and to dust you shall return. (Genesis 3:19)
Today is Ash Wednesday – the very first day in the forty-day season of Lent. The season offers us the opportunity to consider who we are as we grapple with the reality of all that our God truly is. For, as Martin Luther himself said, it is only when we face God’s grace upon the cross that we can understand the gravity of our own sin.
There is much truth-telling in today’s narrative. We, as the body of Christ, gather together to mark our bodies with an outward symbol of our fallen nature. It is an express contradiction to the “high and mighty” notions that surround Christian culture. And it is something that I am certain much of the world finds refreshing.
Because we are not perfect. Though we are blessed beyond measure, none of us, as individuals or as families of faith, truly lives up to all that God has called us to. We fail. We fall down. We burn ourselves and our world to ashes. Sometimes literally.
Confession of our brokenness is essential to finding ourselves on the journey.
Yet, there is another truth that is just as important: all of creation (the entire universe) is quite literally made of stardust. Scientists have helped us to understand that all matter is this specific form of “dust” at its most basic elemental level. We are literally all made from dust – from the Biblical and scientific perspective.
And in case you missed it, there are some pretty incredible things made from that same dust. Galaxies. Mountains. Stars. Oceans. Creatures great and small. Planets. You.
Even as we confess our fallenness this day, let us not forget that in the beginning, God drew us up out of the dust, called us good, and breathed life into us. You may have fallen short. You are probably not everything you could be. However, you are still a beautiful, wonderful and incredible creation of God. Whoever you are. In whatever way you were made.
So yes, confess that we are dust and to dust we shall return. Then, in the following sentence, affirm our thanksgiving that our God makes amazing things out of dust (be it of the earthly or starry variety). Why? Because God is Love. And Love will always want love to grow until it encompasses all that is.
Or maybe, Love will keep reaching out until all that is realizes that we are already part of that same Love. Because in our end is our beginning. We are dust. Broken, yes. But also beloved, fearfully and wonderfully made dust. Thanks be to God. | <urn:uuid:5f659e01-73cb-4a64-acdd-7afaafc45295> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://highlandtree.blog/2019/03/06/we-are-dust/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.96252 | 564 | 1.914063 | 2 |
In part eight of our Winter 2016 adventure, we drove up to the Chisos Mountain Range, the only mountain range contained entirely within a national park. It covers 40 square miles and the highest peak is Emory at 7,825 feet above sea level. For more information about this section of the park, see the Big Bend National Park overview in Part Five.
Our truck made it up the steep, twisty road to the Chisos Basin Trailhead without a problem. There are five hikes of varying lengths to choose from.
We selected the shortest since we had not prepared for a half-day or longer trek and added on the Window View Trail.
After the whirlwind of travel and sightseeing, we took a day off to catch up on washing chores and left the following day for Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. We drove north on Texas Hwy 285 and found a roadside stop with picnic tables along the way, so we stopped to eat our lunch.
I felt like a little kid again, dangling my feet off the bench seat. I guess it’s true what Texans say about their state: Everything is bigger in Texas.
We have oil wells in California, with lazy pumps and arms that rock up and down, so I had never seen flaring before. It kind of scared me when I saw these oil wells dotted across the desert with plumes of flames. Did we drive into a dystopian movie set by mistake?
Apparently, production flaring is used to get rid of unwanted petroleum gas with the idea that it is better to burn it off than to release it into the environment. The lesser of two evils, I guess. Oil production rigs with flare stacks spread out across the desert for as far as we could see and all the way into Carlsbad, New Mexico. I don’t think I took a deep breath from the time we entered the oil field until we saw Carlsbad disappear in our rearview mirror.
At Carlsbad KOA we enjoyed the birds flitting around, especially the doves. The smell of the gas burn offs was not to our liking though.
All that gas burning off sure made for a colorful sunset.
We enjoyed our time at Big Bend National Park and would love to return someday. A canoe trip down the Rio Grande, hikes, photo tour in Terlingua, and poking around the surrounding area are top on our list of things to do when we venture to the park next time.
Next up, we visit the Carlsbad Caverns before working our way back home. Until then, stay safe. | <urn:uuid:8a6db457-2f8f-47d0-a377-54e1710930aa> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://thetravelingtodds.com/tag/big-bend-national-park/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.955493 | 531 | 1.53125 | 2 |
Total Knee Arthroplasty in a Patient with Skeletal Fluorosis
Published reports on patients with skeletal fluorosis undergoing total knee arthroplasty are rare. Skeletal fluorosis is a chronic condition that occurs secondary to the ingestion of food and water that contain high levels of fluoride. Although fluorosis may be described as osteosclerotic and marble-like in appearance, features may also include characteristics of osteomalacia and osteoporosis. This article describes the case of a 67-year-old man with skeletal fluorosis who underwent total knee arthroplasty complicated by fracture. An intramedullary guide was used for the proximal tibia and distal femoral bone cuts intraoperatively. Following the completion of the femoral bone cuts, it was noted that the drill used to open the femoral canal had breached the medial femoral cortex. Multiple fractures were seen in both femoral condyles. A revision femoral stem was chosen to complete the total knee arthroplasty but, after further manipulation of the femur, it appeared that the fracture had displaced. A LISS plate (Synthes, West Chester, Pennsylvania) was used to ensure fracture reduction and implant stability. The remainder of the procedure was completed without complication. One year postoperatively, functional knee range of motion was limited to 70° of flexion. Radiographs showed signs of healing and satisfactory implant position. This case highlights the importance of the preoperative examination and the need to fully appreciate the bone quality of patients prior to undertaking an orthopedic procedure. Variation from the use of intramedullary guides should be considered in patients with questionable bone quality undergoing total knee arthroplasty.

When I realized that Autism Speaks slogan was “It’s time to listen”, my heart sank.
I honestly felt like I broke in to a thousand little pieces that no one could pick up. It was the feeling of grief. The more I research, the more I realize how much Autistic voices matter.
The CEO of Autism Speaks is someone who has experience managing different health related foundations. Her name is Angela Geiger. As far as I can tell – She is NOT Autistic.
Autism Speaks Canada is headed up by Jill Farber and she has spent 15 years as a private consultant specializing in ABA. She is NOT Autistic.
It’s important for the verbal portion of the Autism community to speak up for not only us but for our nonverbal brothers and sisters. After all, we know best. This is who we are in every aspect of our being.
Wouldn’t it be nice for Autism Meetup groups and self-advocacy networks to have funding and get provided devices and tools to make life easier? Frustratingly enough, most companies need a “front” to do so. By that I mean a “charitable” organization with whom to “partner” with so it looks like they’re doing a DAMN amazing thing to benefit those who need it most. Why can’t they do it without the publicity or without a partnership? Money- simply put! Advertising is key. Looking good to those who are uneducated on the subject increases profit margins and a veil of “doing good”.

An Indonesian village practicing self-isolation to prevent the spread of the coronavirus has tasked a pair of people dressed as ghosts with guarding the community. The strange ‘supernatural’ oversight has reportedly been put into practice in the town of Tuk Songo on the island of Java. Every evening for the last few days, two individuals sit at the main entrance to the village dressed as ‘pocongs,’ which are infamous spirits in the Indonesian culture that are said to be undead entities clad head to toe in a burial wrap.
“The pocongs will check on anyone who passes the gate,” said village spokesperson Angko Setiyarso Widodo, and ensure that they are disinfected before they enter the community. The ‘ghosts’ are also presumably on guard to ensure that no one leaves the town before the quarantine has come to an end. Widodo explained that the ‘spirits’ act as something of a symbol beyond merely being a clever way of getting people’s attention.
“The pocongs are to remind us of death,” he said, musing that they serve to remind those who may be stubborn about adhering to the lockdown that, should they not obey the rules, they “can themselves become a pocong.” To that end, in addition to their guard duty, the ‘ghosts’ have also been used to scare youngsters who are roaming around the village at night by popping out from the shadows and terrifying them, as can be seen in the footage above which has, oddly enough, gone viral in South Korea.
As some readers may recall from earlier this week, the idea of enlisting a faux ghost to keep the streets clear of young people during a lockdown also came about in Malaysia, where a man dressed as a ‘spirit’ to frighten stubborn teens became something of a sensation in his country. In an update to that story, police in the community gave the individual behind the ‘apparition’ a scare of his own when they visited his home yesterday. Fortunately for him, they were not there to arrest him and, in fact, had stopped by to thank him for doing his part in helping to enforce the quarantine.

From the Jackson Hole News & Guide Column Sound Mind
Suicide is a difficult topic to talk about, but the fact remains that the numbers have been increasing nationwide over the past decade. Add to that this past year’s pandemic challenges — isolation, loneliness and issues with politics and social media — and we are seeing many people struggling at higher levels.
Suicides, usually fueled by underlying mental illness, are especially worrisome for the groups that are seeing the largest increases: adolescents and college students, veterans and older adults, as well as those in the highest-risk populations. Before the pandemic, more than 40,000 Americans died by suicide every year, making it the 10th leading cause of death in the nation.
Wyoming and other Western states tend to have numbers even higher than the national average. Suicide is the second leading cause of death in Wyoming for people ages 10 to 34, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says. The suicide rate in Wyoming tends to be one of the highest in the U.S., usually within the top three, along with Montana and Alaska. The statistics are heartbreaking for those lives lost, but also for all the people left behind. Teton County has seen fewer than other Wyoming counties for the past decade or so.
What can you do? There are several options for free training to help members of the community recognize and respond to someone who is struggling. The Jackson Hole Community Counseling Center’s Mental Health First Aid program is one. This eight-hour training covers a variety of mental health issues. Specific to suicide prevention are safeTalk and Question, Persuade and Refer, or QPR. These trainings give people the skills to recognize the warning signs of suicide, ask questions and provide resources for intervention. They are free to the public and can be set up for organizations or interested community members.
Small towns present more difficulties with talking about suicide. Many times people first reach out to loved ones, clergy, teachers or friends, who may worry about saying the wrong thing. How can we go about discussing the issue respectfully and responsibly?
First: Be direct when talking about suicide.
Do not be afraid to ask the question “Are you having thoughts of suicide?” One of the biggest misconceptions regarding suicide is that if you ask the question you may plant the idea. Actually, asking the question shows support and concern.
If someone is showing suicidal ideation, don’t dismiss or minimize the person’s comments (i.e., “It’s really not that bad”). Instead, face it head-on:
- Talk to the person about your concern. Ask if he or she has been thinking about attempting suicide or has a plan for how to do it. Having a plan indicates a higher risk of action.
- Seek help. Contact the individual’s doctor, mental health provider or other health care professional. Let other family members or close friends know what’s going on.
- Call a suicide or crisis hotline.
- Make sure the person is safe. If possible, eliminate access to anything that could be used to attempt suicide. For example, remove or lock up firearms, other weapons and medications.
- Call 911 if the person is in danger of self-harm or suicide. Make sure someone stays with that person.
Education plays a crucial role for communities in preventing suicide and eliminating the stigma surrounding mental illnesses. Articles about suicide can educate readers about risk factors, warning signs and local resources for intervention.
In addition, there is much more to understand about why people choose suicide as an option.
Many families or loved ones blame themselves or feel judged by others. Education may provide interventions and understanding to not only minimize risk but also be respectful to the people affected by suicide. Those talking about suicide should be sensitive to tone, content and language. Responsible discussion should avoid judgment — intentional or implied — when reporting the full story and should also include education about suicide prevention.
Without a doubt, discussions about suicide should be happening throughout our community. At the same time there should be a focused approach to overall community-based mental health care to address the underlying mental illness issues and increase hope.
Several organizations and individuals are working as part of the Teton County Suicide Prevention Coalition on initiatives to provide information, support, counseling, training and prevention programs.
Call the Jackson Hole Community Counseling Center at 733-2046 or the Teton County Prevention Management Organization at 264-1536 for details or to get involved. Services are available and made affordable for our community either through Counseling Center and the Mental Health JH program. | <urn:uuid:21adad63-76a3-4312-9a9f-3512fdf0fa6c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://jhccc.org/a-conversation-can-help-avert-suicide/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572161.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815054743-20220815084743-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.943728 | 947 | 2.84375 | 3 |
Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech, developing a vaccine for COVID-19 announced on Monday that a vaccine has been developed by their companies and it can prevent more than 90% of people from contracting Covid-19 based on preliminary analysis.
Albert Bourla, Pfizer’s chairman and chief executive was very optimistic and elated by the findings.
“Today is a great day for science and humanity,” he said.
“We are reaching this critical milestone in our vaccine development program at a time when the world needs it most with infection rates setting new records, hospitals nearing over-capacity, and economies struggling to reopen,” he further said.
The vaccine has been tested on 43,500 people in six countries namely: US, Germany, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, and Turkey, and no side effects or safety concerns have been flagged. The data, however, is not yet conclusive since it is based on only the first 94 volunteers to develop the virus. The vaccine’s precise effectiveness may change when the full results are analyzed but the audacity of hope remains high.
Dr. Albert Bourla, the chairman of Pfizer, said:
“We are a significant step closer to providing people around the world with a much-needed breakthrough to help bring an end to this global health crisis.”
Shortly after the announcement, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus tweeted
“We welcome the encouraging vaccine news from @pfizer & @BioNTech_Group & salute all scientists & partners around the who are developing new safe, efficacious tools to beat #COVID19.”
Dr. Bruce Aylward, the World Health Organization’s senior adviser, said Pfizer’s vaccine could “fundamentally change the direction of this crisis.” He however warned that an “acute funding gap” of $4.5 billion could lead to slow access to the vaccine and tests in low- and middle-income countries.
Covid-19 Vaccine – Who gets the it?
Pfizer and BioNTech say it plans to apply for emergency approval to use the vaccine by the end of the month. So who would get the vaccine?
Governments and nations that have rolled out millions to fund research for the development of a vaccine and signed up for early delivery of a quantifiable number of doses will get the vaccine first. Thus, rich nations like the United States that have supported research findings and supported Pfizer may see an early rollout of the vaccine and will be of a priority than smaller or developing economies.
Pfizer and BioNTech for instance have a $1.95 billion contract with the U.S. government to deliver 100 million vaccines. Besides, the geographical position of these pharmaceutical giants will dole out the vaccines in their home region before anywhere else. Pfizer for instance is one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies and it is located in the United States of America. This better positions the United States to receive the vaccine treatment.
Concerning individuals, frontline staff such as doctors, nurses, care home givers, and other medical staff will be on top of the list due to the risks involved in their work. The aged will also be of a priority since they are most prone to contracting the virus.
Market reaction & economic outlook
Following the announcement, investors are shoring up their investments, piling into airline stocks, and other companies that have been hit by the coronavirus. Pfizer’s shares climbed 9% while BioNTech’s U.S. stock rose by 18%. Dow Jones Industrial Average increased to more than 800 points while The S&P 500 finished the day with a gain of 1.2%. The FTSE 100 rose sharply to almost 5%.
Gold on the other hand dipped by 5% following the announcement. Ole Hansen, head of the commodity strategy at Saxo Bank A/S explained the dip by saying “Gold “is an asset that has been attracting investors due to an outlook for stimulus and rock-bottom low rates. A potential vaccine reduces the need for economic stimulus as the economies can reopen.”
Airline, travel, and tourism stocks across Asia were not left out by the announcement. Qantas Airways gained 8.6% to hit its highest level since March, Japan Airlines increased by 17.6% with ANA Holdings rising by 16.4%.
Despite the positive impact that has come with the announcement, The International Monetary Fund has warned that inequitable access to vaccines could stifle the global economic recovery even for those countries with access to the vaccines.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO’s director-general warned
“Vaccine nationalism will only perpetuate the disease and prolong the global recovery.”
In other words, for global economic recovery to be realized, there must be a need for even access to the vaccine.

Camp Life Continues After Summer
What happens at Camp Tekoa when summer has come and gone? At Camp Tekoa, the “off-season” doesn’t exist. We continue throughout the year by giving people the opportunities to host special events and retreats, as well as host several year-round programs.
Here’s what happens after our summer programs end.
1. Special Events and Retreats
Aside from summer camp, retreats and special events make up the bread and butter of the off-season for camps. By offering opportunities for corporate teams to come together outside of their comfort zones and grow together in new ways.
Some of the benefits of retreats include:
- Encourage Unity in Teams - Especially in the corporate world, it is important to build around a unifying theme. Often this is a set of core values and a mission statement. Retreats can allow each person on the team to feel important as an individual and as a team member. By reinforcing this attention away from the pressures of a normal environment, retreats can offer opportunities to build on that mission.
- Reduce Stress - Retreats are a good way to provide time to step away from the pressures of everyday life. By giving opportunities to experience a change of pace and fresh air, groups can recuperate and breathe before getting back to reality.
- Personal and Professional Development - Let's face it, sometimes it is hard to build up those around you when everyone is in the thick of it. But by taking time to get away, people can focus inward and learn more about themselves.
Some camps allow for faith-based organizations such as churches, mosques, and other groups to utilize camp facilities for special events and retreats. This gives organizations freedom to move around and grow as a community while coming together for religious services on-site as well.
For Camp Tekoa, retreats are typically weekend-long events but can also be as short as a single day. These events can cover anything from team building, planning exercises, or skill acquisition. By escaping the day-to-day, it is easier to focus on the tasks and hand without the distractions of everyday life.
2. Time Off
The offseason brings some freedom for the year-round staff to take some time off from the go-go-go of summer camp season. Most people do not realize all that goes on behind the scenes of a summer camp and the stress that goes along with it.
Staff having time to take a vacation and spend extra time with family can bring rejuvenation and focus when they get back on site. This is a must when preparing for the upcoming season.
3. Planning and Marketing
Throughout the off-season, year-round camp staffers are typically busy preparing for the upcoming summer season. It takes a ton of work to put on summer camp, from safety meetings to marketing to potential campers. Many camps will put on marketing events and outreach programs to introduce their facilities and camps to a broader audience.
Because many summer camps utilize seasonal staff, recruiting and hiring is a year-round process and is an important part of the off-season. Also, the offseason is a time for planning new programs and replacing equipment that may have been damaged during the main camp season.
Year-Round “Camp” Programs
In some cases, camps will offer year-round programming for local youth. Camp Tekoa has three of these year-round programs that are massively impactful to the local community.
Offering programs such as this in the offseason allow camps to make good on their commitment to giving back to their local community. Programs like these can help with enrichment and socializing your child in a setting outside of their typical home/school cycle.
Some camps will host mini - “Break Camps” that essentially bring summer camp to breaks throughout the school year. Camp Tekoa currently offers both a fall and spring break camp that runs from 8:00 am - 6:00 pm and is themed!
While not always quite year-round programming, family camps are great ways for campers to share their summer camp experiences with their family. At camp Tekoa, we offer the best of Tekoa in a 4-day, 3-night experience where families can explore camp life without the regimented structure of summer camp programs.
Camps such as Camp Tekoa are not limited to just a single season. Camps are buzzing with activity year-round. Camp Tekoa is not only just a wonderful summer camp but also a perfect venue for opportunities for the rest of the year.

Cee’s Which Way Challenge: There is no specific theme given. It just needs to be some sort of ‘Which Way’. The possibilities are endless.
Shropshire has an odd name for its alleys or passageways, particularly those that pass through a building from one street to another – shuts – derived from shoots as in ‘shoots through‘. In Ludlow there are a few of these as well as several cobbled lanes and hidden courtyards which date from the medieval period.
Join in with the challenge or view other ‘Which Ways’.
The Vineyard off Lower Broad Street
Every week Sue from ‘A Word in Your Ear’ dips into her English Oxford dictionary and picks a word on the page that it falls open at. The challenge is to post a photograph, poem, story – whatever the genre you like best to describe what that word means to you.
Yellow is an unusual colour for houses to be painted, but here in Ludlow there are two. Both timber-framed buildings with the frames revealed.
Yellow House Lower Corve Street
Yellow House Broad Street
Every year in June Ludlow holds an Arts Festival over two weeks when poets, players, comedians, singers and musicians invade our small English town. Most of the entertainment is held in the Castle grounds and an entrance fee is naturally expected. However, there are often fringe events happening around the town which may be free and there is nothing like walking up to the market square to buy some veg for dinner and hearing 10CC or the Hollies rehearsing for their show or potting up your pelargoniums to the sound of the English National Philharmonic Orchestra
The town is full of visitors, swarming around the square and wandering down to the River Teme, cameras at the ready. At 5:30ish on a Saturday and Sunday you will find them lugging picnic chairs, blankets, food hampers and bottles of fizz to picnic in the castle grounds before the open-air concerts begin in the Castle’s Outer Bailey.
It might not be Glastonbury, but it brings a happy vibe to the town.
This is my introduction to Ludlow, which was where I lived from 2011 to 2016. The name Ludlow comes from ‘lud’ the loud waters and ‘low’ a tumulus. If you were to ‘Google’ Ludlow you would find that it is the largest town in south Shropshire and has over 500 listed buildings. You may also discover that it is known as one of the best ‘foodie’ towns in the UK with regular open-air markets, local produce markets and both a Spring and Autumn food festival lasting over the weekend
Ludlow has been described as the “perfect English town”. It is situated on the River Teme in the southernmost part of Shropshire, on the Welsh Marches. It has a medieval street pattern and many ancient buildings including a castle and a magnificent parish church as well as streets lined with medieval and Georgian properties.
” The secret of Ludlow resides in the fact that, like York, it was once a seat of government in Tudor and Stewart England. A sense of its own identity and importance has never quite left it. That accounts for its strength of character and the lingering sense of authority. This is a town which, although the tide of history has receded from it, still manages to preside magisterially over the countryside one glimpses at the end of every street. ” – Sir Roy Strong
The natural starting point for a stroll around the town would be the Castle Square where the market is held several days a week and on the second or fourth Thursday of the month when the local produce market is held you can load up with local cheeses, meats, real ales from micro-breweries, bottles of home-made chutneys and preserves, soaps and even fresh herbs if you so desire. It is a traditional open-air market with 20-30 stalls selling produce from within a 30 mile radius of Ludlow.
From here you can visit the castle. It is a ruin, but quite an interesting one, and it dominates the skyline from the river side of the town. It has a combination of architecture from Norman, Medieval and Tudor times. Parts date from the 11th century when built by Walter de Lacy. It was enlarged by Roger Mortimer in the 14th century and has been in the hands of the Earls of Powis since 1811. The castle was a seat of government for Wales for a time and it was involved in the Wars of the Roses with a major battle taking place at Ludford Bridge. Often events are held in the castle such as the Christmas Medieval Fayre (late November) and the Ludlow Festival held in the summer which features an open-air production of Shakespeare.

Over the last few months on this blog I have talked a lot about eating, moving, sleeping and relaxing. As I have learnt from others and developed my own model of looking at and improving wellbeing, I have realised that for me one of the most important areas that determines our wellbeing is that of connection. Humans are, for the most part, social animals. At the end of the day, regardless of what we’ve eaten or drunk, how physically active we’ve been, how much sleep we’ve had and whether we’ve done five minutes of mindfulness or not, as humans I believe that we all need connection with others on one level or another for us to truly have a sense of wellbeing. It doesn’t matter whether you are an introvert or an extrovert, whether you like to do your socialising in the pub or via letter or skype, connection is important for our mental wellbeing.
The effect of loneliness on our wellbeing
Much has been made of the five ways to mental wellbeing. One of the five ways is connecting to others. If we look at the converse, as a society we are being made increasingly aware of the impact of loneliness upon us individually and collectively. We now have a minister for Loneliness. This isn’t because they were the MP picked last for the cabinet football team, but because it’s a significant issue in today’s society. The Campaign to End Loneliness quotes some alarming statistics. Loneliness and social isolation are harmful to our health, estimated as being as bad as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. People who are lonely and isolated are more likely to visit their GP, use medication, fall, attend A&E (regardless of long-term conditions) and end up in a nursing home. Just this week, an article was published in BMJ’s Heart journal which concluded that social isolation seems to remain as an independent risk factor for dying after a heart attack or stroke. Loneliness and social isolation have also been associated with an increased risk of hypertension, heart disease, dementia and depression with the overall increased risk of premature death being as high as 25%.
Are we more lonely than before?
Of course, loneliness affects all of us at some time in our lives. Significant events such as changing schools, moving away from home, going to university, starting a new job or suffering a bereavement may be the trigger. It affects people at all stages of life, young or old. It is part of life, often temporary and can push us to reach out and make new positive connections. It’s important to think about that word – connections. We shouldn’t fall into the trap of assuming that if you are “connected” then you aren’t lonely. Many adolescents (the group most affected by this) report feeling lonely even though they are connected, like never before, through social media. We need our connections to be meaningful and that’s where the problem lies. It doesn’t matter how many followers you have on Instagram or how many likes you got on Facebook with your last post. If we’re not careful, our relationships become increasingly superficial. We end up with a lot of friends, but they are either virtual or might as well be for the good it does us. I’m not being down on social media as it has its place, but what really counts is the quality of our connections. Historically these connections have been more face to face with extended families, in local communities and in other common interest groups including faith-based. However, family units these days are more fragmented than they were. People often move away from home when they start higher education or enter employment. Fewer people identify themselves these days as having a religious belief or being part of a formal religious organisation which, whatever views you hold about religion, results in more people not knowing where to look for help in times of significant life events and crisis. Just one or two good quality connections can be all we need to make a big difference to our lives.
Tips for building and strengthening connections.
- try to build a fixed, protected time for this into your week. Prioritise it and organise the rest of your diary around it. If you don’t plan it, it probably isn’t going to happen. It might be for the whole family, or just one or two others.
- Turn off the TV and sit round the dinner table or play a game with your kids. Or just talk. I took advantage of some of my family being away today to have lunch and a coffee with my son. I didn’t have to drill him for information about what’s going on and how he feels at the moment (he actually volunteered some!) because it was a relaxed, natural setting. Also this week our son Luke invited us round for dinner. Luke is twenty-one and has severe epilepsy and a moderate learning disability. He lives in Essex his own flat in a house that he shares with other people with additional needs and is looked after twenty-four hours a day by a wonderful organisation called Zero Three Care. His carers encourage him to have as much independence as possible and this includes cooking healthy meals for himself. He served up a delicious chicken chow mein yesterday and was very proud of himself. We played Operation afterwards, which I lost convincingly. I made sure his brothers did the washing up!
- Try to catch up with a friend you haven’t spoken to for a while. It might just be a phone or video call if they live some distance away. One of my best friends from school still lives up north, whereas I have betrayed my northern roots and become an adopted southerner. We conspire to meet when he’s in London for work and catch up on the phone every month or two.
- Visit someone you know needs extra support at the moment. If they are feeling low or depressed, they may prove elusive. Don’t give up on them…harass them (in a nice way) until they give in.
- Arrange a meal or night out with friends. This is my favourite. Eating and drinking together is a very bonding social experience. My wife informs me that I am already an expert in this area. I tell her that I need to keep up my social skills, that there’s always room for improvement and that’s why we’re all meeting up at a beer festival this weekend. And the pub the week after.
- Speak to someone new at work. Invite them to join the next social event
- Have a meal with a colleague. The other week one of my GP partners and I met up for breakfast together before we started surgery. We don’t often get all that long to talk unless it’s about work. It was a great start to the day.
- This is also part of one of the five ways to wellbeing, giving.
- You could volunteer at a local school, hospital or other community or shared interest group. A number of my patients who have suffered from stress related and mental health problems have found this very beneficial for themselves, as well as benefitting others of course.
When it comes to wellbeing, other people matter.
That’s all for this week. I hope you have found this blog post helpful. Please do leave a comment – your feedback is much appreciated and helpful. Until next week – take care of yourself!

Submissions wanted for K-5 mural contest
The Marion Soil and Water Conservation District is accepting submissions for its K-5 “Conservation Habits = Healthy Habitats” mural contest until Jan. 21.
The contest is designed for teams of K-5 children attending schools, afterschool programs, Boys and Girl clubs, church groups or other groups and organizations in the Marion County area.
The district invites students to "join (them) as (they) venture into the fascinating world of birds, bees, bats, fish, frogs and other creatures that reside around us. Learn about the types of plants, shrubs and trees that best provide needed food and shelter, and what we can all do to help protect them."
Last year, approximately 300 students participated, said contest coordinator Janice Calkins. This year, they are hoping 500 to 1,000 students participate.
The contest is free and participants receive activity and coloring books, educational guides, mural-sized paper, crayons and more.
Entries voted most outstanding earn the awards for the team and the sponsoring group or organization a check for $100 toward the purchase of equipment or supplies that will benefit the children they serve.
For information, contact Janice Calkins at (503) 391-9927 or email@example.com. Or visit marionswcd.net or the Marion Soil and Water Conservation District office at 338 Hawthorne Ave NE, Salem.

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, seemingly under the influence of the World Economic Forum, an elitist organization keen on resetting the world as we know it, announced strict measures to reach net-zero emissions. This began in 2019 after there was a declared nitrogen crisis. Farmers would have to cut down nitrogen emissions, in other words, reduce livestock and food production. The farmers, or what they call “The Boer” have spent years pushing back in peaceful protest.
In June 2022, the rebellion grew bigger than ever before, so Rebel News sent U.K. Reporter Lewis Brackpool and Lincoln Jay to the Netherlands to cover these massive protests.
In this Rebel News feature piece, we explore these far-reaching policies from the very beginning and fast forward to our time spent in Holland.

Chocolate, Chocolate....and More Chocolate!
4 June 2008
Cocoa, a key ingredient in most chocolate products, is rich in flavonoids - a natural plant substance that has antioxidant properties. Some flavonoids may have anti-inflammatory effects similar to aspirin. Low concentrations of these flavonoids can reduce platelet activity in the blood, thereby lowering the risk of blood clots. In a study of healthy, nonsmoking adults with no history of heart disease, researchers at the University of California, Davis, found that platelet activation was inhibited 2 hours and 6 hours after ingestion of a cocoa-enriched beverage. These results suggest that for healthy people, moderate intake of chocolate over the long-term may inhibit platelet activity and ultimately reduce the risk of heart disease.
New research has shown that chocolate is packed with high-quality polyphenol antioxidants - compounds similar to those found in fruits, vegetables and red wine. Dark chocolate and cocoa powder contain the most polyphenols. Animal studies have shown promising results. In Japan, researchers fed cocoa extract to rabbits and found that it retarded cholesterol oxidation which leads to artery plaque build-up. In another experiment, a phenol compound in cocoa called epicatechin was shown to inhibit the formation of benign skin tumors in mice. However research must still be done to find out if these beneficial substances can be absorbed by the human body.
CHOCOLATE & TEA
A Dutch study has compared the levels of antioxidant catechins in chocolate and black tea. It is believed that catechins may play an important role in protection against heart disease, cancer and other health conditions. The highest level of total catechins was found in dark chocolate (four times greater than in tea), with lower levels in milk chocolate and black tea. The types of catechins were found to be different in chocolate compred with tea, but it is not yet understood how the different catechins vary in terms of health benefits (Herbalgram Number 48).
CHOCOLATE & COFFEE
Evidence presented at the March 1999 meeting of the American Chemical Society reveals that coffee is an important source of beneficial antioxidant polyphenols in the American diet, and that cocoa powder surpasses both green tea and garlic as a protective antioxidant food. Coffee has been shown to reduce lipid oxidation by 30% in the blood of hamsters, whilst caffeine has a demonstrable beneficial effect on mood, vigilance, alertness, mental concentration and sense of wellbeing, apparently through its effect on the dopaminergic pathway in the brain. A Swedish study however has shown that coffee drinkers should favour filtered rather than cafetière coffee since the latter appears to raise LDL cholesterol (Herbalgram, No. 47, 1999).
SUCH GOOD NEWS ON CHOCOLATE
Pregnant women who ate chocolate daily while they were pregnant, gave birth to babies that they rated at 6 months to be more active, more positively reactive (smiling and laughing), and who showed less fear in new situations. Women who rated themselves as more stressed during pregnancy, and who ate little chocolate, rated their children more negatively at 6 months. The Finnish researchers speculate that the effects they observed could result from chemicals in chocolate associated with positive mood being passed on to the baby in the womb. (Early Human Development vol 76, p 139).
MORE GOOD NEWS ON CHOCOLATE
Stiff arteries are a predictor of cardiovascular risk, but a Greek study has found that dark chocolate can relax arteries and thus increase the surge of blood ejected from the heart. Separately, a Harvard Medical School study has found that cocoa nearly doubled blood flow to the finger in subjects over 50 years of age. (American Society of Hypertension annual meeting 2004).
CHOCOHOLIC VEGANS REJOICE
Consumption of plain, dark chocolate results in an increase in both the total antioxidant capacity and the (-) epicatechin content of blood plasma. However these effects are markedly reduced when the chocolate is consumed with milk or if milk is incorporated as milk chocolate, since milk appears to interfere with the absorption of antioxidants from chocolate. (Nature 424, 1013, 28 August 2003).
MEN & CHOCOLATE
Research into chocolate consumption has suggested that women tend to eat more chocolate when they feel depressed. A new German study into chocolate consumption in men however, indicates that the opposite is true - men eat more chocolate when they feel happy. 48 healthy men were shown film clips designed to induce various emotions including joy, sadness, anger and fear, then gave them a piece of chocolate and asked how much they enjoyed it and whether they wanted more. The more happy and ubeat the men felt, the more they enjoyed the chocolate. (Appetite, 39, 147 - 158, 2002). | <urn:uuid:dc519bc9-076c-447b-a4e0-1117ca26011f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.avicenna.co.uk/research-lifestyle/chocolate-chocolate-and-more-chocolate-259/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572161.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815054743-20220815084743-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.9522 | 998 | 2.875 | 3 |

Dementia describes a group of cognitive and behavioral symptoms that develop as a result of a decline in brain function. Caring for someone with dementia can be challenging, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
To mark Mental Health Awareness Month this May, we’re bringing you research-backed information to help support the mental well-being of you and your loved ones during this difficult time. You can view all of our content for Mental Health Awareness Month here.
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia in older adults. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), older adults also have an increased risk for severe complications from the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The CDC state that adults 65 years and older account for 80% of deaths due to COVID-19 in the United States.
In this article, we discuss how to care for someone with dementia during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Current preventive measures against the novel coronavirus, such as physical distancing, may present significant challenges for people with dementia because they often rely on in-person health services and social support from family members and friends.
A person with dementia may not understand the COVID-19 pandemic or its implications.
Many caregivers, who typically rely on regular visits from family members and friends, may find themselves taking on more responsibilities without help or breaks.
As a result, people acting as the sole caregiver may experience emotional and physical fatigue.
The challenges that stem from dementia vary depending on the type and severity of a person’s condition.
Alzheimer’s disease affects regions of the brain that play a role in memory formation.
People living with Alzheimer’s disease may have difficulty remembering recent events or performing daily tasks, such as washing their hands.
Lewy body dementia
People who have Lewy body dementia or Parkinson’s disease may exhibit progressive memory loss, mood changes, and language impairment.
They may have difficulty communicating their needs or concerns to caregivers.
Frontotemporal dementia, previously known as Pick’s disease, involves symptoms that relate either to changes in behavior or language difficulties.
People with frontotemporal dementia may exhibit impulsive or inappropriate social behavior. As a result, they may neglect physical distancing, hand hygiene, and other recommendations from their caregivers and local health authorities.
A caregiver can use the following tips to help care for someone with dementia.
Plan for gaps in care
Caregivers may need to take on more caregiving responsibilities if in-home health aids or other family members cannot come by as frequently.
They can prepare for unexpected gaps in care by first making a list of essential supplies, such as medication, personal hygiene products, and food.
It is a good idea to stock up on nonperishable, essential supplies.
Create a daily routine
It may be beneficial to establish a consistent daily routine that includes the following activities:
- waking up and going to sleep at set times
- bathing, getting dressed, and… | <urn:uuid:574746ec-bfb0-4711-8a0a-fa5b2ca4a38a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.agingiqnews.org/2020/05/28/how-to-care-for-someone-with-dementia-during-covid-19/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572304.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816120802-20220816150802-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.941789 | 648 | 3.40625 | 3 |

The Myth of Forgiveness – HPP 41
Keith recognizes that forgiveness is most often used as a way for people to move on from tough situations in life. In some case that actually seems to be true. However, after speaking with many clients over the years and a lot of exploration around the topic with other professionals, he has identified some myths about forgiveness, how it can hurt more than help, and other ways to move on from troubles in the past.
Forgiveness seems altruistic by nature. At first glance it appears to be an act of kindness. But what if it was more self-serving than one might think? When speaking with your clients, it is very important to dive into their history in order to see if there are underlying resentments. Focusing on the reasoning behind forgiveness–such as underlying resentments–can help people stop a perpetual loop of blame and move them into a place of empowerment.
Even though forgiveness in some cases seems to be useful, it often just perpetuates a cycle of pain. Can you imagine a life without needing to forgive anyone, as if the power to move on from past hurts was truly in your own hands?

Pascua means Passover, the ‘step’ of Jesus from death to life. Pascua is an Easter celebration for young Hispanics, which is marked with a day of service, prayer, music and celebration of community in Christ. The theme of this year’s Pascua is from Pope Benedict XVI’s Lenten message, calling for charity, which he describes as “the very heart of Christian life.”
Saturday, April 14, 2012
11:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m.
Shrine of the Sacred Heart
16th Street and Park Road, NW
These celebrations will provide the young Hispanic participants with an opportunity to reflect upon an encounter with the living Christ through service projects, presentations, and a celebration of music and food. The participants will also learn about social justice and missions, as well as about how to become more involved in the Church. Service projects this year will include volunteering at the Spanish Catholic Center, a local shelter, feeding the needy, and helping to perform small home maintenance tasks in the homes of the needy in the community. The event concludes with Mass.

Ascorbic Acid and Tocopherol Concentration of Hydroponic and Soil-Grown Lettuces
AdvisorOmaye, Stanley T.
AltmetricsView Usage Statistics
Self-reliance in food production is an accomplishment that has fallen by the wayside. As we rely more heavily on mass-produced food, we begin to lose touch with one of the most basic needs of life: feeding ourselves. Few people in the world have the luxury of tillable land, yet most of us fail to utilize our meager backyard plots to supplement our diets. It can be a daunting task to till the land, fertilize the soil, and water frequently. When the land is not fertile, as is the case in the desert, it may be an impossible feat. This is where the hydroponic method of crop cultivation can help provide the means to grow a garden. If people starving in third world countries could grow plants out of water, they could be nourished on much more than cassava root or rice. Hydroponically-grown produce may be a way of helping to feed the world, regardless of soil quality, space availability or climate. The objective of this study was to determine whether hydroponically-grown lettuce contains as much ascorbic acid and tocopherol as soil-grown lettuce. We analyzed four varieties of lettuce, including: Waldmann's Dark Green, Red Lollo Antago, Red Romaine Annapolis, and Butterleaf. The first three were obtained from the Mountain View Montessori of Reno's greenhouse. Butterleaf was purchased locally. Results suggest that selected hydroponically grown lettuce varieties are significantly higher in both ascorbic acid and tocopherol content than their soil-grown counterparts. This would imply that hydroponic gardening is a viable option for producing nutritious fruits and vegetables. | <urn:uuid:be9fba79-0466-4dec-8f16-b7f79b1c490e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://scholarworks.unr.edu/handle/11714/3646 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.920824 | 452 | 2.984375 | 3 |
Here at MINI of Peabody, we’re always excited to learn more about a new MINI model. One vehicle we’ve had our eye on lately is the MINI Cooper SE Prototype. If you want to go green while enjoying everything that the typical MINI car has to offer, you’ll want to keep an eye on this new model.
The MINI Cooper SE Prototype was recently tested out by a few journalists. The MINI brand wanted to show what its new green car can do. We were able to learn a few things from their test drives, including that this electric MINI vehicle would have a range of around 120 miles on one charge. That’s a big deal because one thing that can scare drivers away from an electric car is the idea that the battery won’t last, leaving them stranded before they can get to their destination. A 120-mile range is perfectly suitable for running errands or tackling a daily commute to work.
The MINI Cooper SE Prototype also gets that battery power back rather quickly after it’s been drained. You could charge with a fifty kilowatt D/C charger to get back eighty percent of the battery in just forty minutes. A standard household power supply will charge it back to full in twelve hours.
Otherwise, this is a MINI car just like the ones you already know and love. It still promises to offer a fun driving experience and it should have enough room to seat four. If you’re thinking about an electric car, you’ll want to take this one for a spin when it arrives later this year.
Whether you’re trying to go green or you’re all about performance, the MINI brand will always have something to offer you. Visit our dealership and talk to our MINI dealers serving Greater Boston. We’ll make it easy to pick out the perfect vehicle. We look forward to helping you find your next car! | <urn:uuid:37d96a88-4735-4768-854e-546d1d920207> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://minipeabodyblog.com/the-mini-cooper-se-prototype-shows-off/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.967648 | 404 | 1.742188 | 2 |
It has been clear to me for some time now that two different ideas are often confused or conflated preemptive war and preventive war.
What's the difference?
Preemptive war is a strike to gain the advantage when an enemy strike is believed to be imminent. The classic example in recent history is the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. Israel was aware that Egypt and Syria where about to invade. Instead of waiting, Israel struck first and successfully destroyed Egyptian air power before they were able to get their planes in the air. This preemptive strike was justified by Israel because war with the Arabs was virtually an inevitability, and they wished to gain the upper hand.
Preventive war is something else altogether. It is war designed to prevent imagined future war. It is based on a set of suppositions, hypotheses which could prove true or false. At its heart is the idea our enemies our strong now, but they will be even stronger in the future. Better to attack them sooner rather than later. Better to defeat them before they get any stronger.
This is the same argument used by Curtis LeMay during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, to justify the use of force (rather than diplomacy) against Cuba and the Soviet Union. Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed. Nuclear war was averted. And in fact we avoided war with the Soviet Union from 1949 (when it first tested nuclear weapons) to its collapse in the 1990's, a period of over 40 years.
Arthur Schlesinger has recently written eloquently about the difference. Several passages stand out. Here's the first one. "Looking back over the Cold War, we can be everlastingly grateful that the loonies on both sides were powerless. By 2003, however, they ran the Pentagon."
And here's another. "The distinction between preemptive and preventive war is worth preserving. It's the distinction between legality and illegality."
I would submit it's worse than that, that preventive war is an oxymoron. On its own terms, it just makes no sense.
War does not prevent war. It creates more war. This is not, however, a thinly disguised argument for pacifism. Only that preventive war never achieves the objective it sets out to achieve.
The classic example is World War I, the war that Woodrow Wilson sold to the American people as the "war to end all wars." Needless to say, it did not end war. On the contrary, it ushered in a century of the worst carnage in human history.
Are we really about to repeat this in the 21st?
The loonies like LeMay were pushed back in 1962. Today, as Arthur Schlesinger has ruefully pointed out, they're in the driver's seat. | <urn:uuid:2ae1cdd3-2eff-4758-aa4b-354315247fc1> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://errolmorris.com/content/election04/blog_102804.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572304.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816120802-20220816150802-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.970343 | 563 | 2.6875 | 3 |
How Fast is Spiderman Healing Factor?
A couple of weeks ago I was looking through the latest Spiderman movie Amazing Spiderman and I came across a reference to the How Fast is Spiderman Healing Factor. Now if you don’t know already, the How Fast is Spiderman Healing Factor refers to the speed in which an individual can heal in the comic book world. In the film however, it is mentioned that Peter Parker’s webbing is so fast that he can actually move at speeds of six miles per hour. Is this true?
Can one really move at such a fast rate? Well that’s actually pretty tough to say. Although there is some sort of scientific equations that explain this phenomenon, no one has been able to scientifically demonstrate the speed at which Spiderman heals. However we do know that Peter Parker’s high speed movements do allow him to recover from his injuries much quicker than someone who is slower or recovering from another injury. This certainly does help with his natural ability to heal quickly.
The question remains, does this aspect of Spiderman’s healing make him a faster hater of bullets or just a bigger annoyance? Probably, both but what truly matters is whether or not his healing factor helps him to be able to live up to his reputation as a masked crusader. For some people who read comic books, they might not care about the actual speed at which Spiderman heals but for those who love the Spiderman comics, I imagine that the question of the speed at which Spiderman heals has always been a very important one to them.
How Fast is Wolverine Healing Factor?
Wolverine’s healing factor is what has made him a popular solo superhero since the comic began and there are a lot of people wondering, how fast is Wolverine healing factor? Wolverine is known as the “Logan” and he was once a young boy in contemporary America who was attacked by terrorists and had his spine fractured during the attack. With this new found ability, he was given the name Wolverine and began a quest to find someone who would give him back his power. Throughout the years, Wolverine has undergone many changes and has become one of the most popular and iconic superheroes in the Marvel Universe. In the films alone, Wolverine has fought against some of the biggest and baddest villains from Marvel and has won the most prestigious awards such as the World Peace Foundation’s Peace Prize and even received the mantle of President of the United States.
Wolverine’s healing and speed factor are what makes him so feared amongst other super heroes and that’s why he is constantly featured in all kinds of action based movies and cartoons. The question on everyone’s mind is how fast can he heal or at least speed up his healing? Wolverine’s healing factor is thanks to a special gene given to him from his father which allows him to rapidly heal wounds, but at the same time, he has to be very careful with his moves because if he takes too much damage during the process, his healing will be slowed down and he will still have some level of injuries. Most of the time, when a person is Wolverine, they are covered in skin which is a defense mechanism used by the X-Men to protect themselves. However, since Wolverine’s healing factor gives him the ability to regenerate quickly, he sometimes uses this power to his disadvantage.
A lot of people have asked the question, how fast is Wolverine’s healing factor? There are a lot of factors that have been explained and a lot of theories on the matter, however, none of them can tell you an exact answer. In the end, the answer still remains as a mystery, until someone comes up with a true method of testing and comparing the speed of Wolverine’s healing factor with that of other superheroes. Until then, enjoy the crazy adventures of Wolverine, the only living being capable of defeating villains without putting any human on the battlefield.
How Fast is Deadpool’s Healing Factor?
Recently, I got to read an interesting science fiction novel-How to Live Forever in a Sea of Stars by Keith Geddes. In this novel, the main character, played by Geddes, finds out that he has some type of rare genetic abnormality, and his life span has been increased-to 1 million years, if you count backwards. This obviously raises some questions, like is there any way to use this ability to propel one into space or simply make the body of a person more likely to defy death?
This short novel is an interesting look at the human healing factor, and the power of belief. This story is presented from the perspective of a group of scientists who have developed a machine to be able to scan minds and bodies for this rare genetic abnormality. The book is really quite entertaining and has a good plot. One of the most interesting scenes involves a mind-body test that is done on the main character, and they find out that he has a rare genetic abnormality. They then attempt to create a human being from the remains of this person, which does not work either, and they are unable to remove the brain or build a new person. As a last resort, they scan the rest of the minds and bodies for the missing part of the mind that they were able to get.
In the end, it turns out that the mystery man was born with a life-time force called the healing factor. This force has the unique ability to regenerate health, vitality, and intellect. This is the key to the book-how to harness this power. I enjoyed this book and think that any fan of science fiction should buy it, just to see what kind of crazy theories are being presented-and to see how well the author hooks his story up.
How Strong is Hulk’s Healing Factor?
How strong is Hulk’s Healing Factor? The plot of the movie “Hulk” revolves around Dr. Bruce Banner, who was transformed into a Hulk during the course of the film’s events. In the beginning, Bruce Banner is only barely in his human form, as he was bitten by an irradiated spider (which gave him the ability to transform into a Hulk). The irradiated bite left him with a scar that runs down the side of his face, which can be seen when he goes into the battle against Dr. Alexander Ryker’s Extremis soldiers. Bruce’s lightning-fast healing ability means that he almost always comes back from the battlefield healed after single combat, but how did he do it?
Incredible Hulk trivia will show that in the films, Dr. Bruce always seems to have the best heals, and the film most often revolves around his battles with Dr. Vincent Banner. What is it about this aspect of Dr. Bruce Banner that is giving him this uncanny ability to heal so quickly? What does it mean when we say “invincibility”? We’ve all heard about this inherent power of a being with an incredible physical strength, and the answer is simple – in the films, it’s called the Hulk.
In terms of actual strength, Bruce Banner is classified as a Class 10 superhuman, meaning that he is stronger than the normal human being on earth. That’s why when we find out how strong is Hulk’s Healing Factor, we’re presented with the answer that Banner is actually stronger than the Hulk himself. We’ve all come to realize that the Hulk is not really strong at all, but he has been given a massive amount of health using the knowledge and skills of Gamma radiation, and this is what gives him the incredible strength. Is Banner really that strong? It is possible that we are introduced to a new hero when all is said and done, but what we do know about the Hulk says that he is indeed one incredibly powerful man.
How Strong Is Wolverine’s Healing Factor?
Recently, Wolverine has been one of the most popular X Men characters. He has been featured in two blockbuster films, and is even featured in the upcoming third X-Men movie. There has been a lot of criticism directed at Wolverine, mostly because he is simply not strong enough to kill someone without having to become indestructible himself. However, there have been times when Wolverine has had to defeat someone while being held back by his own adamantium. While many writers and fans have accused Wolverine of being weak or frail due to his age, it has been revealed that he is actually quite powerful, if only in comparison to ordinary humans.
In terms of healing factor, Wolverine possesses one of the highest values of all known humans. This means that he is capable of healing much faster than an average human, as well as being able to recover from serious injury much quicker. It is also said that Wolverine’s healing factor comes from the radioactive substance called adamantium. Yes, adamantium is made up of microscopic molecules which have the similar molecular structure to a human’s skin; in fact, a single molecular bond between two adamantium atoms is extremely strong, which is why Wolverine can be healed so quickly.
As you may not know, Wolverine’s healing factor actually comes from his adamantium skeleton. Made out of an unknown metal alloy, adamantium is extremely durable and flexible; it has the highest level of resistance to damage of all known metals. However, like all metals, it is vulnerable to corrosion under high temperatures. As a result, Wolverine’s skeleton is constantly exposed to high temperatures every time he battles villains, since the solution to corrosion is through burning. As far as how strong is wolverine’s healing factor is concerned, his skeleton is actually more than adequate to withstand any injury; although, this is where the adamantium comes into play.
How Good is Hulk’s Healing Factor? Sequel to “The Incredible Hulk”
“How good is Hulk’s Healing Factor?” is a question that pops up in the mind of many viewers who haven’t even seen the movie yet. I have been a huge fan of the marvel heroes, so I was a bit apprehensive when I saw the movie on the big screen. I have to admit that the visual effects were not at par with what I had expected, but the movie still managed to hold my attention and curiosity. I can say that the movie was entertaining and had some good action sequences, but in the end it doesn’t matter how good the special effects are, because the story and the performances of the characters themselves are what make this movie a big hit.
The movie starts with Dr. Curt Connor, a world class surgeon who is asked to perform an experimental surgery on a young American named Aaron Stone (ious), who has the ability to heal wounds much faster than normal people can. But when the operation fails, Aaron quickly realizes that he needs to find out more about his own healing factor. So, after finding a way to duplicate Aaron’s unique healing factor, the government calls on him to help them with a top secret experiment. But when the duplicate is discovered, it is discovered to be a variant of the original, so now, Dr. Connors has to create a serum that only a master scientist could produce.
If you want to see an exciting, intense blockbuster like “How good is Hulk’s Healing Factor?” then go out and see it in the theatres on May 13th. And as soon as you are done with your movie, go online and check out the site below for more exciting news about the upcoming sequel…
How Good Is Deathstroke’s Healing Factor?
As a fan of the hit television show “24”, I was absolutely fascinated when I saw the movie “Deathstroke” a few weeks ago. I hadn’t watched the series before and when I saw the movie on the big screen, I was hooked! I spent the next several days reading the book, trying to find out just what John Constantine did to become this powerful and charismatic devil and whether there would be any more stories to this particular story line. In this Deathstroke review I want to take a quick look at what really makes this movie so great and what fans of the show can expect in the second season.
The interesting thing about the Deathstroke’s healing factor is that he was not a naturally powerful and charismatic devil. John Constantine was born with a deformity that left him with physical disabilities and limited abilities. The deformity was discovered while the young John was fighting and possibly defeating an armored soldier who came out of nowhere and killed him. As a result, John Constantine spent the next 13 years rebuilding his body and soul, learning to control his impulses and anger and to gain control over his life again. During this process he had a near death experience and went into a near vegetative state. However, as he came back he gained strength and became even more powerful and able to defeat monsters and other super powers that stood before him.
What I found interesting about the book and the TV series was that while the Constantine was in a very real and gritty place and dealing with some dark and bloody mythology, he never lost sight of who he was as a person and as a warrior. Throughout the series and book we are repeatedly shown John Constantine as an extremely good person doing what he does best as a warrior and a person. He saved the world time again and never lost sight of what made him special and what he was capable of. For this reason, I find the television show and the movies to be much more interesting and entertaining than the original books on which the series is based.

Which WoW Leveling Guide is Best For You?
Overwatch WoW class guide, written by Ben “Keene” Kastan is a detailed look at all of the abilities a Warrior can take advantage of, in order to survive and kill more quickly and with more ease than they might otherwise. It talks about how to use talents effectively and gives you the opportunity to do things in ways that will not break any abilities that you currently have, or might find yourself needing at a later date. One thing that some people struggle to understand is how much healing can a Warrior actually do? You will learn all of the healing bonuses that you have available to you, as a Warrior, in this leveling guide, and this can help you get a feel for whether or not this class is a good choice for you. If you want to build up your health bar quickly, while also ensuring that you are not taking damage at the same time, you should be looking into this guide.
The other class that you should consider using for your healing needs is the Paladin. Paladins can benefit greatly from their armor ability, and this is a great asset to have, especially if you are tanking. The Paladin is also one of the best healing classes you can choose for this game, as you will be able to get a lot of use out of the talent tree. There are many different options available to a Paladin, and this is especially good news for those who wish to play the game but do not wish to make too many changes. In addition, this type of class also benefits from the armor buff, which is also good for many players.
Overall, the World of Warcraft leveling guide that you select should help you figure out how much healing is good for each class that you may be interested in. For those players who just need to do general leveling up, you will not need the tanking capabilities of the Warrior, nor will you require heals from a Priest or Mage. However, there are many options available to play classes such as the Priest and the Mage, so you will want to make sure that you get the experience points, especially if you like these types of games. However, if you are going to be taking healing classes such as a Paladin, you will want to get the highest amount of health possible, so that you can always be ready for whatever comes at you! The important thing is to make sure that the class you select will make you feel powerful, while still staying healthy while doing it!
How Good Is Wolverine’s Healing Factor?
The Wolverine’s healing factor has always been one of my favourite comic book superhero traits. I’m sure that, like me, you have spent many an hour sitting on the sofa with your loved ones and watching old classics. Well, I have to say, I was never a fan of the X Men before I saw the movie “Wolverine” a couple of years ago.
The film was directed by James Mangold and starring Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Aniston, Hugh Jackman, Michael Jackson, and of course Wolverine himself. It’s the perfect family friendly movie, and it’s very entertaining. The movie opens up in 1980s New York City, and we meet a young boy (Wolverine) who lives and works with his aunt and uncle. They’re just barely surviving through a rough period in their family life, and their lives are thrown into turmoil when their teenage son is bitten by a vampire. A freak accident leaves young Wolverine with cat-like claws, and he’s about to become a monster.
Once again, we have the great Wolverine vs. X Men battle, and Wolverine’s healing factor once again saves the day. As in previous movies, Wolverine has to go after those monsters that attacked him in the past. In this movie, however, he and his friend Dr. X must escape from a mental institution and travel to the future. Once there, they have to save the world once again, as mutantkind takes over the world. | <urn:uuid:de7e7ebb-5ef2-414b-b219-b90a3f57aca1> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://healingpicks.com/how-fast-is-healing-factor-on-14-super-heroes/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572304.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816120802-20220816150802-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.978754 | 3,908 | 1.84375 | 2 |

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection evolves from immune-tolerance phase, through immune clearance phase to a quiescent phase or reactivation as hepatitis B e antigen-negative hepatitis. Persistent infection may result in the development of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Host factors including gender, age, family history, HLA-DP, and viral factors including HBV DNA, genotypes, precore mutations, pre-S deletions, and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) level are associated with the development of these complications. Risk scores for the development of HCC have been derived. Patients with persistently elevated alanine aminotransferase levels (>30 for males; >19 U/L for females) and HBV DNA levels >2000 IU/mL should be treated. Patients with established cirrhosis with detectable HBV DNA should also be treated. The recommended first-line agents include pegylated interferon and 2 nucleos(t)ide analogs, entecavir and tenofovir. NAs require long-term treatment to maintain suppression of HBV DNA. They have been shown to decrease hepatic fibrosis, or reverse cirrhosis and to reduce the development of HCC. They have very low rates (0% to 1.2%) of resistance. HBsAg seroclearance, although the ideal endpoint, is only achievable in 10% to 12% of patients by multicenter trials usually studying relatively young patients. Patients on long-term treatment should be monitored for viral breakthrough that may be due to noncompliance or the development of resistance. Newer agents are under trials to enhance the rate of HBsAg seroclearance. However, even with the current NAs, long-term treatment of >6 years can markedly reduce the covalently closed circular DNA, the viral component responsible for initiation of viral replication.

At Christ Church, we’re passionate about developing disciples. Our Discipleship Path offers three paths you can travel to walk together in community with others while taking tangible next steps in your journey with God.
WHAT IS A DISCIPLE?
A disciple learns from Jesus to live like Jesus — someone who, because of God’s awakening grace, conforms his or her words and ways to the words and ways of Jesus.
CHOOSE YOUR PATH
This path is for new Christians or those exploring the Christian faith. Re:born begins as a 6-week study, meets weekly in a small group of others just like you and it is led by mentors and coaches who can help you understand or answer any questions you have.
Re:new is a men or women’s micro group study that takes the basics of the Christian life and reintroduces us to the wonder of God, His plan for our lives and His desire for a relationship with each of us.
Do you have hurts, habits or hang-ups that hinder you in your faith journey? Do you want to grow in Christ but feel you have something (or some things) that always seem to pull you away? Then re:gen is for you. | <urn:uuid:e8a2b9be-8df8-43a0-8025-08889eac13fa> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://christchurchirving.com/nextstep/groups | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.953327 | 267 | 1.578125 | 2 |

LONDON, Sept. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — In a feat to diligently bolster the region’s economy, the Climate Resilience Execution Agency for Dominica (CREAD) is working to create a landmark database to help more than 8,000 small businesses. The database aims to offer key analytical tools for assessing and enhancing the performance of MSMEs, mobilizing support for the sector to increase capabilities, access to finance, and providing an improved structure.
Established shortly after Hurricane Maria, CREAD intends to streamline the government’s commitment to incorporating resilience in various sectors like micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) in Dominica. CREAD’s MSME Business Advisor, Elijah Leblanc, began creating the database along with an in-depth MSME Database Project Survey to help provide targeted interventions to benefit the sector, especially after seeing the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) of Dominica are one of the key drivers of economic growth while contributing to productivity, employment and innovation; therefore, [CREAD] must encourage and strengthen the resilience of a sector which contributes significantly to the country’s GDP,” sited the Climate Agency.
Already sharing CREAD’s vision, the Prime Minister of Dominica, Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit said, “We are well aware of the potential contribution for growth of these small businesses, and their contribution to household income and the economy. Therefore, we continue to create the enabling environment to facilitate the expansion of the small business subsector,” in his 2021-2022 budget address.
Recognising the importance of Dominica’s MSMEs within the context of the Climate Resilience and Recovery Plan (CRRP) is an essential venture for CREAD as one of its goals remains a 5 percent sustainable and inclusive economic growth by 2030. One of the key supporters of this revelation is Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme. After Hurricane Maria, the Programme was instrumental in the nation’s swift recovery and has funded significant resilience projects on the island. The Programme entirely finances the construction of thousands of climate-resilient homes, supports the ongoing construction of a geothermal plant and endorses the country’s ecotourism sector.
Introduced in 1993 and ranked the best in the world, Dominica’s CBI Programme provides vetted high net worth individuals and their families a route to second citizenship after investing in the Economic Diversification Fund or buying into selected real estate options. After undergoing meticulous security checks, successful applicants gain access to increased global mobility to over 140 countries and territories, alternative business routes and the chance to pass down citizenship for generations to come.

File Servers are widely used in
VDI deployments to store server application data, such as
Hyper-V virtual machine files, SQL Server database files and user profile disks.
Prior to Windows Server 2012, file server high availability was already available through clustered file servers. This classic type of clustered file server, and thus all the shares associated with it, is online on one node at a time. File shares associated with this type of clustered file server are called clustered file shares. This is sometimes referred to as active-passive.
In Windows Server 2012, a new feature called
Scale-Out File Server
was introduced. With Scale-Out File Server, all file shares are online on all nodes simultaneously. File shares associated with this type of clustered file server are called scale-out file shares. This is sometimes referred to as

You stand to gain a lot by starting your podcast. Little requirements are needed to kick off. Let us start off by defining the meaning of a podcast. A podcast is a digital recording to be found on a internet platform. A podcast audio costs nothing to be acquired by any audiovisual gadget. You can talk about different topics in a podcast. This ranges from politics, sports to entertainment. Beginning a podcast can give you a wide array of satisfaction. You may earn money from different sponsors. You may get paid by benefactors. In return you may market some of their products. Some subject matters can cover your convictions of life. You can also start a podcast to entertain your audience. Your podcast may include humor. You could also start a podcast to talk about different topics that are affecting your community.
To begin with, set your goal for your podcast. Set a motive for your podcast. You can make a plan before you start a podcast. Formulate interesting issues for discussion. Contemplate on the inspiration for content. Focus on gathering information for your subject. You should come up with thrilling materials. The content should offer more details. Educative facts should also be a feature. Be conversant with background information. This information will add on to the original information. Look for relevant theme songs. These short musical motifs can be used to fill the interludes when transitioning from different sections of your podcast.
The next thing to factor in before you start a podcast is equipment. Buy a good pair of earphones, microphone, and have a strong internet signal. Do not compromise on the quality of these gadgets. Quality mic will abolish hissing sounds. Good headphones will give you the correct feedback on how your audience will hear you. Good WiFi will help avoid connection problems. Search for a nice operating space. The room should be located in a quiet place By doing so, you will eliminate sound disturbance from the recording. Check for companies that offer quality gadgets. Do market research. Purchase your electric peripherals from a price-friendly company.
In conclusion, look for a suitable title before beginning your podcast. The name you choose should be easy to remember and short. This will make it easier for audience to find easily. A short description of what your podcast is about will be essential. This will assist your listeners to make a choice quickly. Choose a name that is unique. Go with a title that is distinctive. This will help to filter during searches. This will be salient because it will stand out amongst other searches. You may have hosts coming over for your podcast. Alternatively, you could choose to hold interviews with people. | <urn:uuid:b4cc454e-1dac-420c-a4d8-2f680627e122> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.risearticles.com/the-essentials-of-the-basics-2/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.930204 | 532 | 2.484375 | 2 |
Title IX has gone through many changes this year, including rescinding past guidance on how schools should handle sexual assault cases.
The Department of Education announced this decision on September 22, 2017. They have yet to put a permanent replacement for the rescinded guidelines in place. But, in the meantime, the DOE has created an interim guideline.
One of the most notable changes of the interim guidance is that educational facilities will place a greater focus on proof and evidence in cases of sexual violence. Past guidance provided a preponderance of evidence model. This new one outlines a “clear and convincing standard” of proof for these cases.
Currently, college campuses have the ability to determine where and when they will implement these interim guidelines.
The Department of Education created a question and answer informational document about what the interim regulations mean.
Title IX became effective in 1972. The landmark education amendment states that, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
On September 1, 2017, The Department of Education wrote that, “Under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and its implementing regulations, an institution that receives federal funds must ensure that no student suffers a deprivation of her or his access to educational opportunities on the basis of sex. The Department of Education intends to engage in rulemaking on the topic of schools’ Title IX responsibilities concerning complaints of sexual misconduct, including peer-on-peer sexual harassment and sexual violence.” | <urn:uuid:695fc737-a45f-4f6c-9b83-4ca1999feb22> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://kennedyhuntlaw.com/title-ix-and-sexual-misconduct-on-u-s-campuses/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573104.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817183340-20220817213340-00465.warc.gz | en | 0.953833 | 326 | 3 | 3 |

Or if this one's not quite right, try this huge selection of creative infographic templates:
1. How to Draw the Bodies and Organs
Let's begin by drawing our first set of elements for the research infographic template!
To draw the outline of the male body, copy the half illustrated on the left, and then Reflect it and merge both copies with the Outline function in the Pathfinder panel.
Do the same for the female body!
Fill both body outlines with
Draw lungs, using the same Pathfinder function. Fill the organ in with
Next, make a copy of the lungs and place them inside a
#BF3B35 hexagon icon with an outline of the same color. Color the lungs with
Add a line with a small circle on the end of it to serve as a pointer.
Repeat a similar process for the liver, only changing the hexagon's color to
#ED7777 for the brain icon.
Draw the next set of organs, using the same colors and functions as before.
Draw the next organ, coloring it with
Add the heart. Use
#A1A4C2 for the icon.
Draw the rest of the organs, using the same colors as we did earlier in the tutorial.
Place the organs and the icons as shown below.
2. How to Create the Graphs
Draw the axis for the graph, and then add columns using these colors:
You can use a Rectangular Grid with 13 Horizontal Dividers for reference.
Create one more graph with different-colored columns.
Create a stick man out of different shapes, using the Pathfinder functions Minus Front and Unite to make the figure.
#98AEC5 for the blue stick man and
#BF3B35 for the red one.
Create three more copies of the figure, coloring them with
Make some graphs as seen below, indicating the percentages with the number of the stick men used.
Proceed similarly to build a stick woman, coloring it with the same colors.
Use it to complete a few simple graphs.
I've used an open source vector map for our research infographic template.
You can use the same one or add your own.
Color your world map with
#BFCEDB and add a
#6F89A4 stick man.
Place the figures with the percentages onto the map.
Create four colored percentage bars as pictured below.
Use these colors:
Make all of the columns 3D by going to Effect > 3D > Extrude and Bevel.
Use the settings below for all of the columns.
Expand Appearance of the columns and add the percentages, using the same color.
Add one more 3D bar graph, this time using Effect > 3D > Revolve and these colors:
Expand Appearance of the graphs and arrange them in a slanted line.
Draw colored markers, using the Pathfinder functions Unite and Minus Front.
Color them with
3. How to Draw the Circular Graph
Cut out the middle of a circle with the Minus Front function in Pathfinder.
Add a Polar Grid with 20 Radial Dividers and overlay it on top of the graph.
Use the dividers as references to measure out the percentages seen below, and then use the Divide function to "cut up" the circular graph.
Use these colors:
Draw the background with Gradient Mesh.

One of Italy’s hidden gems, Trento offers a glimpse into real life in Italy without the huge crowds of tourists. The city is notable as being the location where the Council of Trent was held in several session from 1545 to 1563 AD. The council was in response to the protestant reformation and established sweeping decrees on self-reform and for its clarification of all the doctrines that were contested by the protestants, perhaps most significantly the decree on the Eucharist that defined the Real Presence of Christ in opposition to the interpretation the doctrine of transubstantiation as opposed to that of Luther’s consubstantiation.
The Duomo….. the Cathedral of Saint Vigilio, is said to date from around 400 when Saint Vigilio was martyred on this spot. Later remodeled in the 13th century and then going through several changes to what you see today.
It was here that the Council was held.
Nearby is the Church of Saint Mary Major..This beautiful church has many points of interest as well, especially the large circular rose window and the magnificent baroque altars.
If you visit from about mid-November through January 6, you will find a wonderful Christmas Market in town. Not as large as one of the more famous ones, but equally enchanting (and perhaps more so).
Traveling to Trento:

Bentodent Earthly Natural Toothpaste is Glycerin free, Fluoride free, Gluten free, No foam agent, No artificial colors, Organic, Herbal & Vegan.
Good for all ages including kids as does not contain fluoride.
Why natural toothpaste Bentodent? Experiments from various studies have indicated that Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) chemical present in normal non-natural toothpaste will interact with the deposition of Fluoride on dental enamel and decreases the cariostatic effect. Hence making them more prone to the cavity and increase in hypersensitivity. Glycerine, another ingredient of normal non-natural toothpaste is a sweetening agent acts as a good source of food for bacterial growth. Forms a sticky layer on teeth and does not allow the effect of other ingredients to reach enamel. It only gives toothpaste its paste feeling but it’s unnecessary and blocks teeth from remineralizing.
Bentodent, the earthly natural toothpaste is free of Sodium Lauryl Sulphate & Glycerine. It’s natural ingredient Bentonite clay gives equal cleansing efficiency without deteriorating effect on gums and teeth.

In 2018, Laura Crawford took a huge gamble. She swapped long hours as a management consultant in the City to start a nappy brand.
Fed-up with toddler tantrums and a colicky baby, she launched Mama Bamboo as an alternative to damaging plastic nappies and a lack of eco alternatives.
Here, as part of our new B Corp Beat series – focusing the spotlight on ‘green’ British companies – we find out more…
Mama Bamboo uses FSC-certified Moso bamboo which is fully sustainable and naturally antibacterial
The Attenborough effect
Laura admits she gave little thought to the effects disposable nappies had on the environment when she had her first child.
‘I had no idea what was in a nappy, I hadn’t even considered it and just bought what was on the shelf. I accepted that nappy rash was part and parcel and there was no alternative.’
Like the plastic straws and single use plastic bags David Attenborough warned about in his 2017 documentary Blue Planet II, approximately 8million disposable nappies are thrown into landfill every single day in the UK and can take up to 500 years to biodegrade.
By the time Laura’s son was due she had cottoned on to the effects of single use plastic and sought out alternatives like reusable cloth nappies.
‘As soon as he was born he went into cloth nappies which were a nightmare. I was handling a new born that was too small for the nappies, he was colicky, and my daughter was only 2 years old,’ she says.
‘It was the last straw. I went to find eco disposables and, at the time, there was only one brand and I didn’t get on with them – they were papery, stiff and leaked a lot.’
What is a B Corp?
In our new B Corp Beat series, we are interviewing British businesses which meet these strict standards.
They are described as businesses that are said to meet the ‘highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.’
One the website, it says: ‘B Corp Certification doesn’t just evaluate a product or service; it assesses the overall positive impact of the company that stands behind it. And increasingly that’s what people care most about.’
B Corp was started in 2006 and gives scores to companies in order for them to be verified.
These five areas are: governance, workers, community, environment and customers.
Shortly afterwards, the idea for Mama Bamboo was born.
‘It was during a conversation with a friend who was an expat living over in Singapore – she mentioned that in Asia they had been using bamboo to make nappies for quite a long time.
‘I was surprised because I couldn’t work out how bamboo used in flooring and for plates could possibly be used in a nappy.’
Bamboo has become a popular alternative because it grows quickly and, in the correct conditions, does not need any chemicals, fertiliser, pesticides or irrigation system.
Laura opted for FSC-certified Moso bamboo which is fully sustainable and naturally antibacterial.
In the spring season it can grow between 12 and 15 feet in just three weeks so it is not in short supply.
The bamboo is shipped from China meaning it is still contributing negatively to the environment and not a completely sustainable option.
Mama Bamboo is not the only one creating bamboo nappies: eco brand Cheeky Panda has developed its own range while Boots now produces nappies which use 40 per cent plant-based materials.
By comparison Mama Bamboo claims its nappies currently biodegrade more than 60 per cent in less than three months and can achieve 80 per cent within two years. At this time no nappy can offer 100 per cent.
Laura says that each year, it calculates its carbon footprint and replants enough bamboo to soak up the equivalent carbon within two years.
While Mama Bamboo’s eco credentials may come out on top, the challenge for Laura is convincing customers her products are best. Her immediate plan is to raise investment to expand both the product range and Mama Bamboo’s geographical reach.
Mama Bamboo has slowly built itself up over three years, and because it is mainly an online subscription business, it has not been too hurt by the pandemic.
Customers can save up to 20 per cent by subscribing but the products are still considerably more expensive than plastic disposables. A carton of 35 nappies costs £7.40 while an 80 pack of Pampers costs just £10.
This clear disparity between the two may prove to be a barrier to mainstream uptake.
However, Laura says the company has grown from a turnover of £360,000 last year to being on target for £900,000 this year. As the business grows more, so too does the need for specific expertise at the helm.
Laura Crawford launched Mama Bamboo in 2018 after she could not find any disposable eco-friendly nappies
‘Jennie, who runs the logistics and operations, is my university friend. I brought her in the early days to help me pack boxes and now she’s worked her way up to the head of logistics,’ Laura says.
‘We’ve got to the point where we can see the gaps within the team and I can feel where my amateur working of marketing and sales is holding the business back now.’
As a result, Mama Bamboo has launched a crowdfunding round with ecobank Triodos, targeting £540,000 worth of investment.
The decision to opt for crowdfunding came after Laura was approached by the head of Triodos’ crowdfunding who incidentally used Mama Bamboo’s products.
‘We’re still a start-up. I would personally find it quite hard to ask a single angel investor for half a million pounds. Whereas I felt more comfortable spreading it out amongst a couple of hundred investors, managing the risk a little better.’
Laura’s main priority is hiring a sales director to ramp up Mama Bamboo’s international presence.
The company was forced to abandon selling in the EU through Amazon amid the Brexit uncertainty.
‘We’re at the stage where we’re ready to get back in there. Instead of shipping products to Amazon FBA UK, who handled logistics, I’m looking to have EU distributors that we can ship directly to from China with tailored branding.’
Laura is nothing but ambitious. She also wants to expand the product line into homeware, which would include bathrobes and towels, as well as a range of baby care products and a feminine care range.
B Corp certification
Mama Bamboo has carved out its niche. It says it was the first UK company to sell nappies made from sustainably grown bamboo and the only firm in the world whose nappies include fully compostable linings and packaging.
Its eco credentials don’t just stop with its products.
Mama Bamboo launched the #nappyrevolution campaign calling on the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to change the way councils handle nappy and wipe waste.
And in 2021/22 Mama Bamboo will partner with UCL to develop a sustainable circular economy model for councils to adopt curbside collection of industrial compost waste, including nappies and wipes.
This work prompted one of Laura’s team to encourage Mama Bamboo to apply for a B Corp certification.
Prospective companies have to go through rigorous assessments and is awarded to organisation who achieve as core of at least 80 out of 200 against five areas of impact: Governance, Community, Workers, Environment and Customers.
It led to Mama Bamboo going through the painstaking process of switching banks after the organisation noted there were better and more ethical alternatives.
‘We changed bank to Starling. I hadn’t thought about the fact we were banking with someone who didn’t particularly have an ethical background.’
Over the 11 months it took for Mama Bamboo to be certified as a B Corp, Laura learned more about the audits required, particularly for Chinese suppliers.
‘We were doing it through an independent third party and [the certifiers] pushed us towards some standard international audits that not only will get a standard score but the companies themselves will be more incentivised to try and improve their score because they can use it in their own marketing.’
Mama Bamboo achieved certification in 2020, making it the only UK and European Nappy Company to join the ethical group of businesses.
She says: ‘I love the ethos. it’s not just about the product, it’s about the business and the practices. And they fact you have to use your business for good not just for profit.’

I’ve been preoccupied of late with production in Jamaica; that is, mainly, producing the food we eat in order to cut down on imports. We have an abundance of land, much of it underutilised, which could be used to cultivate a variety of crops. I did some reading into the issues that are preventing us from producing more of what we eat and found a number of factors contributing to this problem, but first, I thought I’d put Jamaica’s poor production numbers in the context of its economic situation.
Jamaica is an upper-middle income developing country with a GDP of $13.89 billion and a GDP per capita of approximately $5,289 (World Bank, 2014), which does not reflect the problem of income equality, and individuals not meeting their basic needs. The Statistical Institute of Jamaica (Statin) reported a GDP growth rate of 0.7% for the fourth quarter of 2015 and attributed this increase to goods production and service industries combined, where goods production produced the better numbers.
This level of growth is minute to say the least, but a picture of our imports is a whole different story. Our import bill currently stands at $5.8 trillion while the income we earn from exports come to just $1.4 trillion (WITS, 2016). We import 400% more than we export. But let’s get back to the factors contributing to why it is that we don’t produce more. I’ve identified 1) access to land, 2) bureaucracy, 3) security, and 4) innovation as pertinent issues and will discuss them further.
The last agricultural census, which was conducted in 2007, revealed that there are approximately 326,000 hectares of land available for farming purposes. Of that amount, approximately 203,000 hectares, or about 62% are being actively cultivated, leaving roughly 114,000 hectares, or 35% inactive. Also, the total number of hectares currently available is roughly 20% less than the viable farm lands that were available just a decade prior in 1996.
This raises two issues that beg the questions: what has been contributing to the decline in our farm lands? And what are the reasons for having over 100,000 hectares of viable farm lands going unused when we fall woefully short of producing what we consume and providing jobs for our citizens? I intend to do further research to find out more on the issue of land viability and access.
The government of Jamaica, through agencies such as the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, and the Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA) periodically release information about agricultural development, inviting farmers to join new projects, and offering to provide them with technical assistance and loans in a bid to encourage more production. But what becomes of many of these projects? The government maintains that the projects and the assistance they offer are often undersubscribed, while farmers and prospective farmers contend that the ‘red-tape’ is killing them.
So the issue is not a lack of viable agricultural land, but its use, or rather, its underuse, and what are the possible reasons for this. Bureaucracy seems to be one of the major challenges hampering production in Jamaica. Prospective farmers have complained that they have reached out to agencies regarding leasing of government lands for farming, only to be told that there are none available for lease, only for sale.
But the ministry reports that government lands are available for lease to the public for farming. The proposed revitalisation of rice production in Jamaica is one such instance where the ministry states that government lands are available and that it is farmers who are not utilising available opportunities; they simply lack interest. Still, we could do with less barriers to enter farming as it can only benefit us in the long run.
Farmers face the issue of praedial larceny, resulting in the loss of produce and income, and even potentially, the loss of life. The security guards hired to safeguard properties face similar risks to the farmers themselves. No country can reach its full development potential without providing adequate security for its citizens and protecting their property.
Jamaica has a crime problem and it hurts us all, and our potential earnings are suffering immensely as a result, and will continue to suffer until we fix the problem. Our main concern shouldn’t be that we’re getting bad press in the international media. Our main concern should be all the investment opportunities we have forgone, the incomes lost from theft, and as a result of farmers not producing for fear of losing their property and their lives.
Opportunities abound in many spheres, yet equipment are laying idly. When I first moved to Japan, within a few months I had the opportunity to participate in a rice-planting festival. It was an interesting and fulfilling experience. As a cultural ambassador, I often have the opportunity to share Jamaican culture with the Japanese people I live amongst, and other foreigners I meet here. Whenever I introduce Jamaican food, one of the first dishes I show them is ‘rice and peas’ and I usually tell them that, like the Japanese people, rice is a necessary staple in our diet. Jamaicans eat a lot of rice, 100,000 tonnes per year to be exact. But the amount we produce is inconsequential as we import almost all of the rice we eat.
I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be great to produce the rice we eat in Jamaica? What’s stopping us, though? We have produced rice in the past, as data has shown. Between 1960 and 1989, Jamaica produced between 1,000 and 6,000 metric tonnes (MT) of rice per year, then the data went blank from the 1990s onwards. The ministry of agriculture, however, shows rice production for the first quarter of 2015 amounting to 13.6 MT and 4 MT for the fourth quarter.
The government announced the revitalisation of rice production in Jamaica in 2008 and identified lands suitable for cultivation in 2009. The first set of data, representing the experimental phase of production, was made available for the second quarter of 2010. From 9 hectares (HA) of land, we produced 46 MT of rice that year. By the third quarter we had cultivated 32 HA and produced 144.8 MT, and from 16 HA, we produced 73.7 MT at the end of the fourth quarter.
Up to last year, however, the numbers have dropped along with the frequency of cultivation, seen in no production in the second and third quarters for the years following 2010. I don’t think we can say that it isn’t viable since we started out fairly well. Rice is known to be a crop that needs constant irrigation, but irrigation doesn’t have to be an issue even during droughts, as there are many varieties of rice that can withstand dry conditions, and there are techniques for efficiently retaining water in the rice crop.
So what went wrong? And more importantly, how do we get back on track? The $60 million donation of equipment from the Chinese government for harvesting and milling has been underutilised and we are nowhere close to the target of cutting down rice imports by 20% – producing 20,000 tonnes of the food we eat.
There are other crops that we could start cultivating or cultivate on a larger scale. There are other avenues for land usage outside of food production that we could exploit more, such as solar and wind farming. Harvesting the abundance of solar and coastal energy we have access to could help to cut down our oil import bill significantly. All of these ventures require that government make every effort to cut down the bureaucracy that limits access to viable lands, provide a safe environment for businesses and individuals to produce, and for us the citizens, we need to continue innovating and continuously seek to find new ways of creating value for our country. The slogan: ‘grow what we eat – eat what we grow’ can become a reality, but we WILL have to create that reality.
Producing more would see us increasing GDP at much higher growth rates, improving our food security, providing employment, especially in rural areas that suffer the most from high unemployment rates, improving our infrastructure, boosting the economy and improving the quality of life of citizens. This could actually cut down poverty levels where more and more people can meet and surpass their basic needs. Cutting down our import bill keeps more of our earnings in Jamaica, injecting it again and again into the economy. This green isle of the Indies offers us many opportunities to produce more. So why don’t we?
