CIVICUS speaks with Ephraim Chimwaza, Executive Director of the Centre for Social Concern and Development (CESOCODE), a Malawian reproductive health and women’s rights civil society organisation (CSO). CESOCODE works to eliminate all forms of gender-based violence (GBV) against adolescent girls and young women and to promote their human rights and wellbeing through advocacy, research, education, training and the provision of basic reproductive health services.
What is the situation of young women and girls in Malawi?
In Malawi, half the population lives below the poverty line. Girls face more obstacles than boys in accessing education and job opportunities, and many girls don’t know their legal rights. Lack of access to opportunities also drives child marriage, which is another major factor that hinders the rights of girls.
Malawi has committed to eliminating child, early and forced marriage by 2030 in line with target 5.3 of the Sustainable Development Goals, and has also ratified several international instruments to that end, but still, 42 per cent of girls in Malawi are married before the age of 18 and almost 10 per cent are married before they turn 15. Among some ethnic groups, arranged marriages are commonly used to create alliances between families. Throughout the country, poorer families often marry off their daughters to reduce their financial burden or in an attempt to offer them a chance at better life. In other cases, they marry them off if they get pregnant, to avoid bringing dishonour to their families. Some parents in desperate situations also force their daughters to have sex in exchange for money or food.
Violence against young women and adolescent girls is commonplace. One in four girls has experienced recent violence by a partner, but few seek help. Social acceptance of sexual and other forms of violence against women and girls is pervasive, even among young people. Not surprisingly, adolescent girls continue to bear the brunt of the HIV epidemic. The number of girls aged 10 to 19 years who are living with HIV is on the rise, as adolescent girls account for nearly three in four of new infections.
How do you help address these challenges?
We have been active since 2009, focusing on promoting girls’ rights and specifically on ending child marriage. To that end, we work with communities and their leaders to encourage girls to stay in school. We offer girls a safe space to access sexual and reproductive healthcare, and we provide counselling to girls who are affected by GBV.
We are also members of a global initiative called Girls Not Brides, which includes more than 1,300 CSOs from over 100 countries committed to ending child marriage and enabling girls to fulfil their potential by increasing access to health, education and opportunities. Through that partnership, we bring child marriage and related violations of girls’ rights to global attention, contribute to building an understanding of the issues and call for changes in laws, policies and programmes that will make a difference in the lives of millions of girls.
How has the COVID-19 pandemic specifically impacted on girls in Malawi, and how have you managed to continue your work?
The COVID-19 pandemic is having a negative impact on girls in Malawi. We are already seeing it in the communities that we serve. The social distancing measures imposed by the government have led to school closures. As health facilities and mobile clinics also suspended their operations, access to sexual and reproductive health services, which was already limited, decreased further. Under lockdown, cases of GBV and sexual abuse have increased, but reporting has decreased. Most girls are unable to go out and report GBV and have to keep living with their abusers and fearing for their lives.
Our programmes and activities have been affected by the social distancing measures imposed by the government to diminish the risk of COVID-19 infection. We have been unable to conduct physical meetings with girls and provide them with vital services like condoms and contraceptives. Girls cannot move out from their homes to attend meetings, workshops or conferences, as all public gatherings have been banned to uphold social distancing.
However, we have continued to reach out to girls through various means.
First, we are reaching out through social media and mobile apps. We are using online platforms such as Facebook and mobile applications such as WhatsApp to disseminate messaging about public health and domestic violence prevention. We have developed a Bluetooth mobile-to-mobile messaging service, which allows us to check in with girls and for them to let us know if they are at risk. We have also produced a short podcast focusing on domestic violence against girls. This includes a version in sign language, so that we can ensure girls who are deaf or hard of hearing aren’t excluded.
Second, we are using community radios and television to provide tailored messaging and talk show content to reach out to girls in their homes with GBV prevention messages. These also include sign language interpretation.
Third, we continue our community engagement work, spreading messages via word of mouth or loudspeakers. We use our vehicle to drive around the communities and disseminate information about GBV prevention and the promotion of girls’ rights, including the prevention of child marriage.
Fourth, we are distributing printed outreach material that lays out the dangers of violating the rights of girls and explains where to report violence against girls. We do this through flyers and brochures as well as by hanging posters in places where girls frequently pass by, such as shops, water kiosks and mini markets. These materials are always written in the local language and include pictures to make content easier to understand.
As a result, we have been able to continue our work and we have not abandoned the girls who rely on us at a time when they may need us the most.
What do you think is the key to the good results you obtained?
I think there are three main factors that account for the good results that we have obtained.
First, we have kept community leaders and other key stakeholders engaged with a policy of zero tolerance for GBV against girls. We conducted online meetings and shared podcast programming with relevant stakeholders who work with girls that teaches positive and healthy relationship skills to prevent violence against girls and promote reproductive health for girls during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Second, we have identified low-cost tools to keep girls engaged and have continued to empower them during the pandemic. We have done this both by using new technologies where available and accessible, and by reaching out in other ways to girls in communities with no access to social media.
Third, we have pushed for the integration of GBV prevention messaging into COVID-19 prevention materials for healthcare providers to reach out to girls and provide them with full support and protection – not just against the coronavirus but also against endemic violations of their rights. | <urn:uuid:9f413bf0-9b4f-4f5f-97f9-86143af873dc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.civicus.org/index.php/media-resources/news/interviews/4463-malawi-girls-need-protection-not-just-against-covid-19-but-also-against-endemic-violations-of-their-rights | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570651.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807150925-20220807180925-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.968037 | 1,374 | 2.921875 | 3 |

Why Irish Craft Toys Make Great Gifts for Children
Children too can enjoy Irish Craft. The gift of Irish craft toys will pass on the love and appreciation for good quality craft from Ireland to the next generation.
Children, by their nature, are very tactile-oriented and exploratory. That's how they discover the world around them. They reach for, grab, and feel all around them. They even put things into their mouths. That's how they discover the shape, texture, smell and taste of things in the world. That's hands-on practical learning. | <urn:uuid:bc6934f8-530e-4998-b80e-efdbaf11635a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.irishcraftonline.com/shopping/irishcraftonline/?brand=hurlog&cat=children | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570651.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807150925-20220807180925-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.972039 | 114 | 1.6875 | 2 |
A career in animal care is far from the routine and mundane. Animal care is hard work. It can be physically and emotionally demanding. Animal lovers, however, could derive job satisfaction from a career in animal care. Although the present day earnings are relatively low in animal care careers, demand for animal care and service workers is steadily on the increase.
Animal care career
Animal care workers are very often trained on the job. Training programs are available for specific types of animal care takers such as groomers. Formal training is not necessary for entry level positions. Animal trainers possess high school diploma. The employer normally prefers a bachelorís degree in biology or animal science or any other related field with additional skills. For instance a trainer for mammals will require a bachelorís degree in marine biology, animal science, zoology with additional swimming skills and Scuba certification. Specialized training is available in the following areas - pet care and retail, zoos and wildlife establishments, dog grooming, open farms, animal welfare and breeding.
Animal caretaker job
Animal caretakers need to have real interest for working with animals. They need to be sensitive and patient. They should have experience in animal obedience. Animal caretakers have to be alert and look for signs of illness or injury in the pets which may need veterinary attention. They also should keenly monitor the eating patterns of the animals and any changes in the behavior have to be reported to the owners. Animal caretakers working in shelter homes for animals have to deal with individuals who abandon their pets. Excellent communication skills including the ability to handle emotional people are vital in such care takers.
A career in animal care includes animal caretakers and animal trainers. Their work involves caring of the animals to train, feed, water, groom, bathe, exercise, clean, and disinfect and repair the cages of animals. The animal caretakers also provide companionship, observe behavioral changes and look for illness and injury if any in animals. A career in animal care can mean working in:
- Boarding kennels
- Animal shelters and rescue centers
- Animal sanctuaries
- Veterinary hospitals and clinics
- Aquariums and
- Zoological parks
The job titles and the duties may vary according to the employment setting depending upon the nature of the organizations. While animal welfare assistants work in Blue cross adoption centers, animal care auxiliaries work in animal hospitals.
Animal care attendants: Basic tasks such as cleaning of cages and animal runs, filling food and water dishes as well as exercising of animals are performed by a beginner attendant in animal care. Kennel attendants care for pets in the absence of the owner. Attendants also sell pet foods and supplies, assist in obedience training and help on breeding of animals. Experienced attendants provide animal healthcare as well as bathe animals, trim nails and attend to other grooming needs.
Animal caretakers: Animal caretakers perform a variety of duties. They also work with a wide variety of animals. Caretakers attend to the basic needs of the animals. They are responsible to keep records of the animals that are received and discharged to the animalsí house. Tests and treatments given to the animals are also systematically recorded. Vaccination of newly admitted animals, euthanizing of seriously ill, severely injured animals is also their job purview.
Animal care Groomers: Animal care groomers specialize in grooming or maintaining the pets. They work in kennels, veterinary clinics, animal shelter houses or pet supply stores. Groomers discuss the petís growing needs with the owners and collect the history of the petsí disposition and its veterinarian. Groomers notice the medical problem of the pets such as ear or skin infection that may require immediate veterinary intervention. There are private groomers available on house call basis. They render mobile services offering a range of convenience at the door step of pet owners at flexible timings.
Animal trainers: As the title indicates, animal trainers train animals for riding, security, performance, obedience and assisting people with disabilities. Trainers train animals in small steps, and often it takes months and even years of repetitive training to make the animal respond in a positive manner. Animal trainers use mental stimulation, physical exercise and husbandry care in training of animals. Animal trainers work in competitions or show, in circus or marine parks.
Animal keepers: The animal care and service workers employed in zoos are called Ďkeepersí. They clean the animal enclosures, prepare the food for the animal inmates and assist in raising the animal in the zoo from very young. Keepers answer visitors to the zoo; they maintain records on the entry and exit of animals in and out of the zoo. Depending on the size of the zoo and nature of work assigned, the keepers work either with a broad group of animals such as birds, mammals, reptiles or they work with a limited collection of animals such as large cats, small mammals or primates.
Working environment for animal care attendants
Although people who love animals may cope up with the working environs of an animal house, in general the atmosphere of work is strenuous and physically and mentally challenging. Working in an animal setting could be a noisy experience as well.
The animal care worker needs to clean cages, lift, and hold and restrain animals. This involves several risks including exposure to bites or scratches from animals. The hours of work in an animal care service centre are bound to be long, irregular and stressful. In some places, animal care attendants are on duty for twenty four hours a day which means night shifts as well. Most of the animal care attendants also work on holidays and weekends as the animals have to be fed everyday.
Sufficient precautions should be taken by the animal care takers when treating animals with germicides and insecticides. Sometimes animal care attendants are emotionally distressed to witness the abused animals in a circus house or unwanted aged and hopelessly injured animals being euthanized. A calm and professional demeanor from the animal care attendant becomes imperative to handle such stressing situations. | <urn:uuid:5f282e91-f234-4b6d-93a0-537b2721ef7d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.targetwoman.com/articles/animal-care-career.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573908.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20220820043108-20220820073108-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.946706 | 1,235 | 2.96875 | 3 |

Conscious parenting is connection-based parenting, where we prioritize relationship and mental health over parental dominance. Still, "conscious parenting" sounds rather funny, doesn't it? It's as if the alternative is unconscious parenting, and that's what I do when I'm asleep. That aside, there's a lot of confusion about what conscious parenting is and why it's such an important shift for parents and children alike.
One thing to know for sure, though: conscious parenting isn't a fad. It isn't going anywhere. In fact, I daresay it's changing the world.
Some people assume that conscious parenting is permissive parenting. Some even call it "lazy" parenting. Much to the contrary, conscious parents are well aware of the importance of healthy boundaries that are appropriate for the child's age. And parenting this way can be incredibly hard work.
A conscious parent often spends a lot of time in self-reflection, working to understand their own behavior and patterns from their family of origin. They also get curious about children's behavior to learn what's developmentally appropriate, how to be peaceful despite triggers, and how to raise emotionally intelligent kids.
This parenting style requires parents to look at the bigger picture of their relationships rather than addressing children's behavior only at a surface level. The parent works to understand the child's needs and underlying motivations.
Conscious parenting is not the "easy way out." In fact, practicing conscious parenting requires a much deeper level of support and self-reflection than do many other parenting styles.
As a conscious parent, we know that kids are going to emulate whatever they experience firsthand. If they experience respect, they'll have respect to pay forward. Children learn respect from an early age because we've been mindful about how we act towards them.
If kids live in a naturally loving home, they'll share that love with others. They'll act out what they know from their own awareness of what they've encountered in life, much more than what we teach through words alone.
Example of what it can look like:
Instead of, "Don't use that tone with me," we make sure we haven't instigated using a negative tone with our child. We're willing to look in the proverbial mirror.
This does not mean we welcome all behavior; we still get to have healthy limits and loving boundaries. However, we accept all feelings as messengers. Additionally, we model what to do with those big feelings.
A child is having a meltdown. Rather than sending the child to their room, we might say, "All of your feelings are safe here" and invite them onto our lap for a hug.
Moreover, knowing emotions are messengers, rather than running from or avoiding them, we can ask, "What's this feeling here to tell us? What are we needing?" We get to the root cause of the big feelings (or big behavior) rather than just addressing it at the surface level.
Naturally, in any relationship with other humans, there will be times of conflict. Conscious parenting does not mean everything will be perfect all the time (if only!). When a conscious parent feels upset, though, we don't take it out on our children. We work to avoid passing along our stress and unresolved trauma.
Instead, we model healthy conflict management skills and self-control. We avoid blaming and shaming. When we mess up, we fess up. We repair our wrongdoings and apologize.
Instead of yelling at a child for spilling their drink on our papers, we pause, take a breath, and remember that accidents happen. To our child, we might say (modeling emotional authenticity), "I feel frustrated about the papers, but I know it was an accident. Let's grab a rag and wipe up the spill together."
Then, we go about the task peacefully, using whatever calming tools the parent needs to avoid taking out our frustration on our child. We model emotional regulation and self-control.
Self-awareness and self-regulation skills take practice and certainly don't happen overnight. However, we're willing to muster the internal control to stay calm and peaceful.
Rather than trying to mold our kids to meet others' expectations of them, children are encouraged to be themselves and pursue their own passions.
We might have a child who wants to wear yellow and green plaid pants with a rainbow shirt. Rather than telling them they look ridiculous, we realize that many children love expressing themselves creatively, including in their clothing choices.
We might choose to worry less about what people will think, and forgo the "cute" outfit we picked out because our child is happy.
Rather than giving children our unsolicited advice and expecting them to follow through in their life, we collaborate with them whenever possible.
Instead of, "I signed you up for piano lessons because it's important that you learn to play an instrument," we might say, "There are all sorts of benefits to playing an instrument, and I think you'd like it. Do any particular instruments appeal to you?"
The parenting choices we make intentionally usually requires a significant paradigm shift from believing that adults should control their children, to viewing effective parenting as a journey of growing up together.
Conscious parents rarely, as new parents, believe they naturally know what their kids need "because the parents are the adults and the children 'should' listen to them." Instead, they take cues from their children as individuals and tailor their support accordingly.
Although conscious parenting doesn't put children in the inappropriate position of leading or supporting their parents, we do model healthy vulnerability. We realize, when met with adversity, that it's alright to say to our child, "I'm not sure what to do here. Let's think about this together and come up with a good plan." We can be confident and vulnerable.
Raising children really seems to come naturally to some parents, doesn't it? Although there may be some truth to that perspective, I've never met a conscious parent who didn't have some significant inner work to do.
There are exceptions, of course, but many conscious parents are actively choosing a parenting approach that differs from that which they experienced growing up. Breaking generational patterns is not for the faint of heart.
Our own parents might criticize our parenting style and say we're being "too soft" with our children. Rather than caving under pressure and doing what other parents have done, we can be brave enough to say, "Thanks for the advice. I'm choosing a different path that feels right to me." This bravery requires that we show up for ourselves, questioning what we've known before and peacefully challenging it. Here are more ways to handle advice that doesn't feel right.
If we want to be a better parent, we need to do better--in some cases, better than our family of origin. That doesn't mean we love our parents any less. It simply means that we have some new tools that perhaps they didn't know about at the time. Raising kids requires an evolution of knowledge.
Indeed, it can be incredibly hard work to break generational cycles and unhealthy patterns. Over time and with practice, though, it's absolutely possible. You're likely to find that conscious parenting actually results in reduced stress as a parent because there's more harmony in the first place. Through your peaceful example, you can absolutely help your child become the kind of person--kind, loving, respectful--that you want them to be. Punishment isn't necessary.
You'll help your child's sense of right and wrong grow because they're watching you as a role model. When we're mindful of our own emotions and behaviors, our children benefit.
Related mini-course: The World Is Tough, So Shouldn't We Toughen Up Our Kids?
Most parents genuinely want to do well for their children, and if they're punishing them, they believe it's the best path to raising children who thrive in the world.
This is a tricky and misguided message, though. Many of these same parents were punished when they were children, and they believe they "turned out fine."
However, my compassionate inquiry is, "Is there something better than 'fine' to which we can aspire?" I address this topic more thoroughly in this article about spanking and punishments. In short, though, when we bring awareness to our children's mistakes by punishing them, the focus moves away from the teaching and into fear. We don't want to parent our child from fear.
There's plenty of research about parenting styles, and historically, the authoritative parenting style came out on top as being most beneficial.
Authoritative parenting encourages parents to offer high degrees of warmth while they also have high expectations for their children. Although that doesn't sound "wrong" at face value -- in fact, there's plenty that's right about it -- some parents focus too much on positive reinforcement tactics for the sole purpose of furthering their children's achievements. Some take the "expectations" part too far and the child gets lost in the process.
If we want our child to thrive, we need to couple that warmth with focusing on what's really important to them, rather than just what's important to us. A child's growth depends not only on warmth and direction from the parent, but also on the child's ability to feel a sense of self-agency (which means, "I'm in charge of myself.")
Conscious parenting considers and respects the whole child.
Traditionally, only the most commonly recognized parenting terms--authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and neglectful (explained here)--showed up in most books.
By contrast, however, we now have more terms than we know what to do with -- helicopter, snowplow, lawnmower, bulldozer, elephant, tiger, dolphin, positive, gentle, peaceful, respectful, and the list goes on.
Do the differences in nomenclature matter? When we're talking about conscious parenting, not really. There's no "quiz" you need to pass; there's no certain way you need to live your life on a daily basis.
My personal brand of conscious parenting is called peaceful discipline, and I've written a book about it. As far as I'm concerned, if you can your kids can both go to bed most nights feeling good about your relationship, that's the end goal. We don't need to overcomplicate it.
I've heard from parents I've coached around the world that their children's lives are positively transformed by conscious parenting. Not only do they agree that conscious parenting works, but the children feel more connected, more joyful, and more peaceful toward their parents, too. Here's what my own child has to say about it.
At the beginning of this article, I noted that conscious parenting just may be changing the world. When you have a movement of responsible adults who want to be better parents through connection rather than control, we create a more peaceful world. Peaceful parents raise peaceful kids. It's a virtuous cycle. | <urn:uuid:683382f0-c168-4220-90ee-dfb82445e65d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://dandelion-seeds.com/positive-parenting/conscious-parenting/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573029.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817153027-20220817183027-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.969187 | 2,280 | 2.328125 | 2 |
Rationing Vaccine During An Avian Influenza Pandemic: Why It Won’t Be Easy John D. Arras Department of Philosophy, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia
The specter of an avian influenza pandemic poses enormous technical and logistical challenges. For example, how can such a looming catastrophe be avoided? If we cannot prevent it, how can we best mobilize our medical and social resources to effectively blunt its impact? How can we quickly mobilize production of sufficient quantities of effective vaccines and antiviral agents to either prevent infection or mitigate the burden of illness in the infected?
While we hope and trust that our scientists and public health officials will do their best to prevent a pandemic, it would be foolhardy to assume they will succeed against such a formidable foe, especially when many of our most distinguished and knowledgeable influenza experts warn that the operative question isn’t whether, but rather when, a pandemic will strike. And while virologists in both the public and private sectors are no doubt searching feverishly for new ways to hasten production of effective vaccines, a full-blown pandemic will most likely overwhelm their best efforts. Thus, in addition to posing scientific, technical, and logistical problems, the threat of an avian influenza pandemic poses equally important ethical problems, the most vexing of which is the age-old question, “Who shall live when not all can live?” In short, how should influenza vaccine and antivirals be rationed in the context of a global pandemic? | <urn:uuid:82b835b8-5a60-4a5a-afc1-3f069d9d5376> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://ymam.proboards.com/thread/33871/rationing-vaccine-avian-influenza-pandemic | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573029.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817153027-20220817183027-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.905805 | 313 | 2.546875 | 3 |

WALTZ COUNTRY DANCE - THREE WALTZ-ONS.' English, Waltz. G Major ('A' and 'B' parts) & D Major ('C' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). ABC. The three single-strain tunes are arranged in a set of "Waltz Ons" in Peter Kennedy's 1952 tune book. The third tune corresponds to the first strain of "Spanish Air" contained in the 1858 music manuscript collection of Feltwell, Norfolk, East Anglia, musician William Clarke, who was probably a flute player. The Waltz Country Dance is a hybrid form for English and Scottish ceilidh dancing that employs waltz steps with country dance figures. There are various Waltz Country Dance formations and tunes (see also "Come Over the Stream to Charlie"). | <urn:uuid:788e927f-416a-4521-a691-18aaeb3787d3> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://tunearch.org/wiki/Annotation:Waltz_Country_Dance--Three_Waltz_Ons | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573908.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20220820043108-20220820073108-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.767686 | 401 | 2.015625 | 2 |
Israel has sent troops to take part in the biennial Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) multinational naval exercise.
RIMPAC is led by the US Third Fleet off the coast of Hawaii and Southern California in August. It has been held every two years since the early 1970s and is considered the world’s largest maritime exercise.
The exercise, which kicked off last week and is scheduled to continue until August 4 in and near the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California, will see a total of 38 ships, including three unmanned surface vessels and four submarines, nine national land forces and more than 170 aircraft, including the MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicle.
This year’s exercise includes approximately 25,000 personnel from 26 nations: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, Ecuador, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Peru, South Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tonga, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Drill designed to foster and sustain multinational cooperation
With the theme of RIMPAC 2022 being “Capable Adaptive Partners,” the drill has been designed to foster and sustain multinational cooperation and trust, as well as enhance the interoperability of troops who ensure the safety and security of sea lanes and oceans.
“Participating nations and forces will exercise a wide range of capabilities and demonstrate the inherent flexibility of maritime forces,” the US Navy Third Fleet said in a statement. The capabilities “range from disaster relief and maritime security operations to sea control and complex warfighting,” it said.
The drill will see forces train on amphibious operations, gunnery, missiles, anti-submarine tactics and weapons, air-defense exercises, counter-piracy operations, mine clearance, explosive-ordnance disposal and diving and salvage operations.
Space and cyber operations to be drilled as well
The drill will also include space and cyber operations.
“During RIMPAC, a network of capable, adaptive partners train and operate together in order to strengthen their collective forces and promote a free and open Indo-Pacific,” the statement said. “RIMPAC 2022 contributes to the increased interoperability, resiliency and agility needed by the Joint and Combined Force to deter and defeat aggression by major powers across all domains and levels of conflict.”
Israel's first time in RIMPAC since 2018
Israel took part in the exercise for the first time in 2018, along with 26 other nations, 47 surface ships, five submarines, 18 national land forces and more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel. It did not take part in RIMPAC 2020 due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
Israel regularly participates in naval exercises around the world and has increased the number of drills held with regional countries with its entry into CENTCOM’s area of responsibility.
In February, the Israel Navy’s Flotilla 3 and Underwater Warfare Unit took part in the US Navy-led International Maritime Exercise (IMX) alongside more than 9,000 personnel and some 50 ships from more than 60 militaries and international organizations.
Several countries that recently normalized ties with Israel took part in the drill, including the United Arab Emirates, Morocco and Bahrain. Several others that do not have formal ties are also participating, including Bangladesh, Comoros, Djibouti, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Yemen. Egypt and Jordan, with which Israel has established diplomatic relations, also took part in the drill.
In April, the Israel Navy participated in a large-scale exercise with its American counterparts from the US Fifth Fleet, drilling on naval combat, maritime refueling and maritime medical scenarios.
That 10-day-long bilateral drill, dubbed “Intrinsic Defender,” focused on maritime security operations, explosive-ordnance disposal, health topics and the integration of unmanned systems. | <urn:uuid:154b222e-476b-44d8-9142-ccd5fd2b9f9f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-711166 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570651.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807150925-20220807180925-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.948075 | 817 | 1.828125 | 2 |

Having trouble carving out time to exercise? Here are 15 ways you can work it into your day.
It helps your blood flow through your body, increases your range of motion, and may help prevent an injury. And you can do it anywhere, even at your desk during the workday. But keep it gentle. Don’t push to the point of serious pain, and never “bounce” into a stretch.
If you live close to town, think of all the places you drive within a mile of your home. In the time it takes to load up the car, drive, find — and possibly pay for — parking, you could probably have walked there. In heavy traffic, a walk even might get you there faster.
Tense Your Muscles
No time for the gym? No problem. You can do this almost anywhere and in very little time. A typical example: Tighten your stomach muscles for 3 to 10 seconds. Repeat 4 times. Your co-workers won’t even know you’re working out. These exercises may lower your blood pressure as well.
Get a Jogging Stroller
Don’t feel trapped in the house with the kid. Take her with you! A stroller can make your jog an adventure for everyone. So strap in the munchkin, bring some emergency supplies, and get out into the world.
Have Leash, Will Walk
Fido isn’t the only one who needs his daily walk, but the fact that he does can get you moving. Owning a dog makes you more likely to be physically active. The guilt of that unused gym membership is nothing compared to the look he gives you when he wants a walk. So grab a leash, and maybe a Frisbee, and save that gym membership money for doggie treats.
Need 30 minutes to catch up with a co-worker? Do it on foot and kill two birds with one stone. Not only will you get some exercise, but you may also do your job better.
Take the Stairs
In 1 minute, a 150-pound person burns 10 calories walking up stairs, compared with 1.5 calories taking the elevator. If you’re headed to the 35th floor, you don’t have to tromp all the way up (unless you just want to). Take the elevator to the 30th floor and walk up the last five. And take the stairs one at a time. It actually burns more calories than taking them two at a time.
Park Farther Away
Whether you’re at the grocery store, the office, or the post office, park at the back of the lot. You’re less likely to get in a fender bender, and you’ll get closer to your exercise quota for the week.
Just three 20-second sprints, with a 2-minute break in between, may be as good for you as 50 minutes of moderate jogging. You could do that on your lunch break — and still have time for lunch. Just make sure to warm up first. And ask your doctor if you’re not sure if you’re healthy enough for vigorous exercise.
Use Public Transportation
In one city, the average commuter added about 15 minutes of physical activity per day — mostly walking to and from buses and trains — when they took public transportation. That’s 105 minutes of the recommended 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity recommended per week. Plus, you’ll save on gas.
Take the Long Way Home
It’s trash day — you’re going to have to put your coat and shoes on anyway. Why not take a stroll around the block while you’re at it? If the weather’s fine and you’ve got the time, give it a shot whenever you have to be out on foot.
Bike to Work
Local message boards or a bike commuter group can help you find the safest route. There’s lots of help out there. Many companies even have somewhere for you to clean up after your ride.
As the person you live with will tell you, you have any number of chances to be active around the house and yard. Scrub the tub a little harder than usual. It can get your heart rate up. Does the car need a detail? Do it yourself: You’ll save some money and get a workout at the same time.
Need to send a message to a co-worker across the office? Don’t email it, walk it over. It’s a chance to bond with colleagues, and it gets you out of your seat and on your feet for a bit. Do that a few times a day and you’ll be surprised how many steps you can get in.
Stay off the Couch
Don’t settle in with a bowl of ice cream to watch TV. Put the remote across the room so you have to get up to change the channel. Ride an exercise bike or run in place while you watch, do pushups during commercial breaks, or just tidy up around the living room. You’ll burn calories and be more likely to stay out of the fridge.

Afghan authorities have released hundreds of Taliban prisoners in a cease-fire deal struck for the Muslim festival Eid-al Adha. The move could pave the way for delayed Afghan peace talks to advance.
Afghanistan’s government released hundreds of Taliban prisoners over the weekend as a rare cease-fire between the groups appeared to hold for the final scheduled day on Sunday, the last day of the Muslim festival Eid-al Adha.
The government had released 317 Taliban prisoners since the holiday began on Friday, Afghanistan’s National Security Council said on Twitter on Sunday.
The inmates were part of the 500 Taliban prisoners ordered free by Afghan President Ashraf Ghani on Friday in a gesture of goodwill.
Afghan officials reported no major clashes between the two groups in that time period.
Slow crawl towards peace talks
Both President Ashraf Ghani and the Taliban have signaled that protracted peace negotiations could begin once Eid-al Adha is over.
The Taliban and the US in February signed a deal that slated Afghan peace talks to begin in March, but discussions were delayed by disagreements over terms of a prisoner swap.
The deal — which sets the stage for the withdrawal of all international troops from Afghanistan — required Kabul to free some 5,000 Taliban prisoners in exchange for 1,000 Afghan security personnel held by the Taliban.
The individuals freed over the weekend bring the total number of Taliban prisoners released from Afghan custody to just over 4,900.
The Taliban on Thursday said it had freed 1,000 prisoners as agreed in its deal with the US.
400 still held for serious crimes
Afghan authorities continue to hold some 400 Taliban prisoners accused of serious crimes, despite the militant group’s request for their release.
Ghani on Friday had said he had “no authority” under the country’s constitution to pardon the inmates’ crimes. He would instead call a loya jirga, a traditional grand council of elders, to decide whether they should go free.
Deadly violence has persisted in Afghanistandespite the signing of the US-Taliban deal in February, with Taliban forces killing over 3,500 Afghan troops, the president said.
Foreign troops have been on the ground in the Middle Eastern country since 2001.

The use of turmeric goes back almost 4000 years in the Vedic culture. The key ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, which is a polyphenol responsible for giving yellow colour to this spice. Curcumin suppresses the cytokines (inflammation-causing cells) which are seen in various diseases and pose a threat to various organs. The antioxidant property of turmeric helps in reducing oxidative stress. There are various health benefits of turmeric and some of them are listed below:
1. Turmeric for inflammatory bone-pain
Curcumin in turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties which help in relieving the pain and inflammation that occurs due to plantar fasciitis, bursitis or arthritis. You can consume turmeric daily by adding one teaspoon of it in your regular tea or a glass of warm milk.
2. Turmeric for respiratory disorders
Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties which help in relieving inflammation caused during various respiratory conditions like sore throat, cough, tonsillitis and bronchitis. You can even consume turmeric capsules if you’re not getting enough of it in your diet. However, talk to your doctor before taking these capsules.
3. Turmeric for better heart health
Several studies have shown that curcumin can improve the function of the endothelium (inner layer) of the heart. Scientists compared the effects of curcumin with the cholesterol-lowering drug given to prevent heart diseases, atorvastatin, and found that both were equally efficient.
Another study included 121 people, who had to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery and were given either a placebo or 4 grams of curcumin per day, a few days before and after the surgery. The results of the study showed that the curcumin group had a 65% reduced risk of experiencing a heart attack in the hospital.
4. Turmeric delays ageing and fights age-related diseases
Due to its antioxidant properties, turmeric can prevent the damage caused by free radicals in the body, which otherwise speed up the ageing process. By reducing the inflammation in the body, turmeric prevents various diseases which can otherwise disrupt how the body regularly functions. Curcumin is also added to various anti-ageing creams and supplements.
5. Turmeric for cancer treatment
Curcumin has anti-clotting properties and therefore could be used when there is surgical removal of cancerous tumours. A study published in the journal of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists has also shown that curcumin can help in killing cancerous cells and preventing the growth of new blood vessels in the tumour, thus preventing the spread of cancer. Though turmeric has not been approved as a medical treatment, various studies are being conducted to establish a way to introduce this treatment along with conventional chemotherapy.

In the first part of this series, I introduced the topic of virtualization. Today I will venture deeper into the ARM virtualization extensions for memory management and handling of interrupts. Within the core, virtualization mostly provides controls over the system registers. But as we move further from the core, and start to communicate with the outside world, difficulties and nuances in the problem start to emerge and the need for hardware support for virtualization becomes apparent.
As a note, this post will gloss over parts of the ARM architecture. To go deeper into the details of the implementation you can check out the ARM Architecture Reference Manuals. These can be found at infocenter.arm.com but require a free registration.
“Virtual” Virtual Memory
Virtualization requires that the guest OS cannot have access to the hypervisor’s memory space. Without virtualization extensions, this requirement is enforced with a technique called “shadow page tables”. In this technique, the OS maintains its page tables but the hypervisor keeps the OS from setting the Memory Management Unit (MMU) registers appropriately. Instead, the hypervisor creates its own page tables with its own mappings. When it sees a page fault, it reads the page tables created by the OS, recognizes the address as being mapped by the OS, and creates the actual mapping for the page tables that is used by the hardware MMU. So only the hypervisor has the true Virtual Address (VA) to Physical Address (PA) translation rather than the guest OS. This approach has two problems: it unnecessarily complicates the hypervisor and has performance overhead.
In ARM Virtualization extensions, the above is performed by hardware. This simplifies the hypervisor while adding functionality and improving performance. In the ARM virtualization extensions, the hypervisor essentially sets the hardware to treat the “physical” addresses generated by the guest OS as virtual addresses and adds another level of translation on these addresses. The ARM terminology for the guest OS address is Intermediate Physical Address (IPA). The translation from IPA to PA is called a stage 2 translation and the translation from VA to IPA is called stage 1 translation.
Figure shows how this translation proceeds.When virtulization is disabled, only stage 1 translation is performed. Stage 1 translation has 1 to 3 levels of tablewalks (depending on the page size, e.g, 4KB pages require 3 levels but 1GB pages require only one level). The first level uses the TTBR and the VA to create the PA/IPA for the first descriptor access. Subsequent levels use the descriptor and the VA to generate the address the of the next level descriptor, until the PA/IPA is known. The unshaded boxes in the figure show this process.
When virtualization is enabled, each of the translation levels has two stages. stage 1 works as described above, and outputs an IPA (intermediate physical address). stage 2 takes the IPA, and the VTTBR to create the descriptor address for the stage 2 tablewalk (as shown in figure below). Similar to the stage 1 tablewalk, the stage 2 tablewalk can have 1 to 3 levels.
That’s A Lot Of Descriptors
The indirection added by a second stage tablewalk can quickly get very expensive. Memory accesses are already the most expensive operation and with virtualization we may need up to 16 accesses to get the required data. Without virtulization, to reduce the cost of page tablewalks, the result of translations are saved in Translation Lookaside Buffers (TLBs). With virtualization, the cost of a tablewalk goes up significantly with the additional stage. In a processor with virtualization extensions enabled, not only do the TLBs need to be bigger, partial stages of the tablewalks are saved to accelerate the tablewalks.
You Shall Not Pass
The second stage of translation includes permission controls to fault to the hypervisor. This includes the standard controls for disabling any combination of, reads, writes or execution on a page table by the guest OS or the applications running on it.
Example Use Case
Waiting on an external update
Lazy VM copy
All Memory Is Not Equal
The second stage also allows the hypervisor to modify the memory attributes for a particular location including marking it as device memory. Keep in mind that the ARM architecture only allows memory mapped I/O so isolating I/O operations can be done through the page table mappings. The general rule is that the final attribute of memory is going to be the more restrictive of the first stage and second stage attributes. For example, if the first stage marks memory as device and second stage marks it as normal cacheable, the processor treats the memory as a device memory, i.e., disables caching and enforces the ordering requirements for device memory. The hypervisor can also trigger a trap to the hypervisor when the guest accesses memory that is marked as device memory. The hypervisor can use this trap to communicate with the physical external hardware.
Dealing with device attributes is the first part of helping a guest OS communicate with the outside world. The next part is properly directing interrupts. The ARM architecture provides multiple ways for dealing with interrupts. The hypervisor can be configured for all interrupts to be redirected to the hypervisor. The hypervisor also has access to bits in the HCR for triggering a virtual interrupt in the guest OS. When an interrupt is asserted in the ARM architecture, the device holds the interrupt pin high until the OS tells the device to lower the interrupt pin. When running the OS, this protocol must be maintained. If the interrupt is triggered by the hypervisor using the HCR, a trap to hypervisor is needed to clear the virtual interrupt.
The hypervisor may handle the interrupt in concert with the Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC, pronounced “gick”). The GIC is implemented as a memory mapped I/O device handling the priority and distribution of all the interrupts coming into the system. Without virtualization, the OS communicates the completion of an interrupt to the GIC. With virtualization, the physical interrupt is rerouted to the hypervisor. The hypervisor determines the correct VM to redirect the interrupt to and sets up the corresponding virtual interface for the GIC. It also sets up the second stage page tables for the guest OS to map to the virtual CPU interface of the GIC. The GIC will from then on know how to reroute that interrupt and does not need hypervisor intervention.
Memory management and interrupt virtualization both scratch the surface of the problems involved with sandboxing a virtual machine and providing the guest OS access to physical devices. Next week we will discuss the extensions to the system to support virtualization.

July 2019: a month in UK climate statistics
Author: Press Office
15:23 (UTC+1) on Thu 1 Aug 2019
July 2019 saw the highest temperature ever recorded in the UK, but the month wasn’t all about heat – rainfall is a significant talking point too, particularly across parts of northern England.
During July, Cheshire received more than twice the average rainfall for the month (219%). Other counties in central and northern England, including Lancashire, Staffordshire Derbyshire and Leicestershire, also received more than one-and-a-half times the month’s typical rainfall for July.
Following on from a largely wet June, northern England and the Midlands have now received more than the season’s usual rainfall, with August still to go.
Tim Legg, of the Met Office’s National Climate Information Centre, said: “With an all-time temperature record it would be easy to assume that this summer has been hot, but the statistics for the season so far tell another story. There have been several periods of intense rainfall as separate areas of low pressure brought well above average rainfall to some parts of the UK, causing issues particularly in Lincolnshire in June and part of northern England during the last few days of July.”
Conversely, some parts of western Britain have been much drier than average so far this summer. In particular Pembrokeshire has only received about one third (31%) of July’s usual average rainfall, and during the first two months of summer it has only received just over one half (53%) of the summer’s average rainfall.
The Cambridge University Botanic Garden recorded an all-time high temperature of 38.7 °C on Thursday 25 July. Across the UK, the average temperature for July has been 1.2 °C above the long-term average for 1981-2010. However, parts of Eastern and North East England have been even warmer at around 1.6 °C above the long-term average. In these areas last month is likely to well within the top ten warmest Julys since 1910.

I’ve been interviewing supply chain executives at consumer goods manufacturers to learn how they are using downstream data. A key focus area for these executives is using this data to improve the accuracy of their demand forecasts.
A couple of the executives I interviewed raised an interesting point about forecasting that I don’t remember coming across before: the importance of having an unbiased forecast. Forecasts, by their very nature, are rarely completely accurate. Historically, most companies focus on improving the accuracy of their forecasts. But making sure you have unbiased forecasts is also important.
An unbiased forecasting process is one in which the demand planning team errs on the high side just as often as they err on the low side.
There can be subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, pressures to err in one direction or the other. Consumer goods companies often have customer supply chain teams embedded with account teams at a retail customers’ headquarters. These teams can be pressured to produce forecasts that err on the high side, particularly for promotions. The idea is that you don’t want to sell out and have stock outs.
This practice can be counterproductive with more sophisticated retailers—i.e., those that measure both out-of-stocks and sell-through. Sell-through is a metric that helps a retailer prevent getting stuck with a lot of inventory after a promotion is over. Here is how sell-through works: if a store forecast says that 100 units will be sold and only 90 are sold, then there was 90 percent sell-through for that promotion. The retailer ended up with ten more units of inventory than it needed for its short term needs.
Retailers that measure sell-through often also use a metric called GMROI. GMROI is a calculation that assists retail buyers in evaluating whether a sufficient gross margin is being earned by the products purchased, compared to the investment in inventory required, to generate the gross margin dollars they are looking for. In short, for retailers that focus on GMROI, an overly optimistic forecast by the consumer goods company reduces the profitability associated with the product. This makes it less likely that the retailer will want to continue selling those products.
When forecasting is embedded in the Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) process, other pressures can arise. During the budgeting process, many CEOs set “stretch” goals for their business units—i.e., goals that will be difficult to attain. This will cause the business units to have to “stretch” – work hard – to attain these goals. If these goals are communicated to Wall Street, and the company is gradually falling behind on its financial targets, forecasters might feel pressure from unit directors to produce forecasts that show these financial targets will be met.
Conversely, when these unit directors need to forecast revenues for the coming year, they want the forecast to be “realistic” (that means low) so that they can beat their numbers. Demand planners can get sucked into this game as well.
In conclusion, accurate forecasting is great, but having an unbiased forecast is also important. | <urn:uuid:100603db-2e3f-4052-9372-87809aef5e0b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://logisticsviewpoints.com/2010/02/18/the-unbiased-forecast/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573908.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20220820043108-20220820073108-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.965053 | 631 | 2 | 2 |

Episode 1 Pomp And Popularity – The Queen is still cheered wherever she goes emphasizing the remarkable survival of the monarchy in britain while other countries have either lost their kings and queens or made them insignificant. This series looks at the monarchy at a time when the very public problems in the private lives of the royal family has fueled a new debate about the monarchy’s place in british society. But whatever it’s difficulties today history shows that the monarchy has managed to survive even greater crisis in the past.
Episode 2 Crown And Country – The contrast between the position of the Prince of Wales and a group of young unemployed people he addresses at a week long course, sponsored by the Prince’s Trust, could not be more stark, and it goes to the heart of a central problem for the monarchy today. What short of relation should it, the embodiment of class, have to a society that is supposed to be increasingly class-less. The monarchy itself has long been aware of this problem and the Prince of Wales is not the first member of his family to attempt to bridge the gap between crown and people. George VI, conscience that society was becoming democratic, established the Duke of York camps to bridge the gap between public and state school boys. This episode discusses the attempt of the royal family over the years to join crown and country.
Episode 3 The Wealth of the Windsors – Chester cathedral, the setting for royal maundy service, one of the highlights of the royal calender. The day on which, by tradition, the soverign distributes alms to the poor. The purses are red and white, the red contain 5.50 pounds in cash. The royal maundy service is one of the rare occasions on which the Queen actually handles money, one of the few times when royalty is seen giving money away. The subject of money has developed into one of the most contentious issues surrounding the british monarchy today. A recent opinion pole shows that 3/4 of the population think that the royal family should not receive as much money as it does, and almost have went further still, saying the royal family is an expense the country cannot afford. So just what is the true cost of the monarchy and how harmful are arguments about money likely to be to the house of Windsor.
Episode 4 The Power And The Glory – The annual state opening of parliament is a magnificent royal event but it’s not just a glittering show. Beyond the diamonds and gold, red velvet and ermin the entire ritual symbolizes the role of the monarch at the apex of the british political system. A system of government that has not changed in its fundamentals for hundreds of years. Most people today tend to assume that despite the trappings, the political role of the monarchy is wholy symbolic long since stripped of any real significance. In fact the monarchy continues to have a great impact on the character of british politics and the queen herself continues to play the pivotal role in the political system. What has changed is the balance of power.
Episode 5 The Kingdom United – Every year the Queen spends a week at Holyrood House, Edinburgh and holds a garden party. Whilst in Scotland her honor guard is provided by the royal company of archers, amateur soldiers drawn from the local gentry. The Queen’s presence in Scotland is a very significant part of her role for the Queen is the head of a United Kingdom of diverse nations, each with their own culture. The monarchy in many ways has been the cement that binds the union together.
Episode 6 Long To Reign Over US ? – Prince William is second in line to the throne and might be expected to succeed his father as king of Great Britain and Northern Ireland sometime in the 2030’s but is his throne secure? A whole range of factors have made the monarchy seem less impregnable then when the queen came to the throne. The enormous changes in Britain since then, have meant that questions have increasingly arisen about the monarchies position in a class-less society, about it’s lifestyle, about its finances. All these problems have come to a head with the public unraveling of the royal family. Throughout the century the image of the british monarchy has been centered on it’s appeal as an idealized family. Noone could fail to have noticed that in the queen’s 40th anniversary year all this has shaterred. The result is that there is a growing belief that the royal family’s problems have gone so far that the long term survival of the monarchy in Britain cannot be guaranteed. So is abolition of the monarchy a real possibility? | <urn:uuid:35fa591a-4147-4bab-9a4e-75fd7f11bb52> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://documentarylist.net/monarchy-long-to-reign-over-us/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570879.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808213349-20220809003349-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.962286 | 949 | 2.375 | 2 |
This course is an accessible, hands-on introduction to the world of paper craft. You will be introduced to a range of processes and techniques that will help you to see beyond the two-dimensional sheet of paper and begin to explore the three-dimensional potential of this versatile material.
Starting with an introduction into papercraft, you will be looking at the basic skills and techniques through demonstration and playful experimentation. You will then apply these skills to a series of mini paper sculpture projects, including creating simple forms from templates and creating an abstract three-dimensional piece. These projects are designed to deepen your understanding of paper sculpture.
With this deeper understanding, you will apply what you have learnt to develop your own project, in consultation with the tutor. You will be given the opportunity to realise your own paper sculpture, which can be as ambitious as time will allow. The tutor will be able to provide you with further techniques and the best possible approaches for achieving this.
By the end of the course, you will have learnt a range of basic techniques and processes for creating three-dimensional paper sculptures. You will have a good understanding of how many artworks in paper are produced and be able to apply this knowledge toward producing your own work beyond this course.

Having a brief, regularly occurring, apparently backward movement in the sky as viewed from Earth against the background of fixed stars. Retrograde movement of the planets is caused by the differing orbital velocities of Earth and the body observed. For example, the outer planets normally appear to drift gradually eastward in the sky in relation to the fixed stars; that is, they appear night after night to fall a little farther behind the neighboring stars in their westward passage across the sky. However, at certain times a particular planet appears briefly to speed up and move westward a bit more quickly than the neighboring stars. This happens as Earth, in its faster inner orbit, overtakes and passes the planet in its slower outer orbit; the appearance of moving counter to its usual eastward drift is thus simply the result of perspective as seen from Earth.

Centralized marketplace platforms have the ability to provide a level of service and reliability that mainstream users have come to expect, but may also lack transparency, charge high fees, and impose rules that users may not agree with. That's where decentralized marketplaces come in. Below we explore what they are, how they work and give some examples of decentralized marketplaces in action.
What is a Decentralized Marketplace?
Decentralized marketplaces are what blockchains are all about. They allow people to interact and transact on a global, permission-less, and self-executing platform. Houses, hot sauce, and t-shirts can all be bought and sold without needing to trust a middleman.
At its core, a decentralized marketplace matches buyers and sellers of goods and services. Most of the important functionality like executing trades and releasing funds are controlled by a smart contract or program instead of a person.
It means that buyers and sellers agree to terms and when the terms are fulfilled, the transaction is automatically executed by the program. This makes decentralized marketplaces permission-less, resistant to censorship, and trustless. Because they tend to use cryptocurrency for payments they also have all the benefits of a global 24/7 payment system.
A Brief History
- Some of the first marketplaces on the internet that still exist today are Craigslist and eBay, which both launched in 1995.
- In 2011, the Silk Road is launched and while not a truly decentralized marketplace, is a marketplace where many users paid using Bitcoin.
- One of the longest-running and most well-known decentralized marketplaces is OpenBazaar, which started in April 2014 at a hackathon in Toronto as a project called “Dark Market.” The OpenBazaar of today is a fork of Dark Market.
- Syscoin is a blockchain network that focuses on decentralized marketplace applications and was also launched in April 2014.
What’s so special about it?
The biggest difference between a centralized and decentralized marketplace is the need for middlemen or intermediaries. Without middlemen, fees are less necessary and sometimes not required at all. The rules of the marketplace are also completely transparent and cannot be changed without the user accepting them. When services such as reviews, reputations, and dispute resolution are added, then decentralized marketplaces get many of the benefits of traditional marketplaces with added transparency and less fees.
There are many different types and setups for decentralized marketplaces. Here we will focus on blockchain specific marketplaces, marketplace applications, and marketplace platforms.
Syscoin is a blockchain protocol or network that has a built-in platform for e-commerce and decentralized marketplaces. Users can take advantage of Syscoin’s application-specific blockchain, which has high transaction rates as well as high security because it is “merge-mined” with Bitcoin. Furthermore, the Syscoin blockchain is interoperable or compatible with other blockchains using the Syscoin Bridge.
OpenBazaar is not its own blockchain, but instead acts as an application that is peer-to-peer or directly connects users of the application who want to trade. It has many of the benefits of being a blockchain such as not having to rely on a central authority, middlemen, or a central database, but since it is just for transacting trades and e-commerce, there is no need for miners or complex consensus algorithms.
OpenBazaar also has the benefit of no fees or restrictions on use. Anyone is able to download the software and start trading. The program uses multiple cryptocurrencies for payments such as Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, and Zcash.
Another way for decentralize marketplaces to exist is through a platform or protocol where developers create tools that allow other people to create their own peer-to-peer marketplaces. Origin Protocol and the Origami Network are two projects that are doing this using the Ethereum blockchain. By creating a system of standards and smart contracts, these platforms allow nearly anyone to spin up their own decentralized marketplaces. Both platforms also allow users easy and simple ways to manage listings, escrow, reviews, ratings, and buyers and sellers.
Some decentralized marketplaces have their own token to help facilitate how the marketplace functions. Syscoin users are able to create their own tokens on top of the Syscoin Platform called Syscoin Platform Tokens (SPT). Origin Tokens are intended to be used for governance decisions with Origin token holders being able to influence platform decisions. The token also rewards users, developers, and marketplace operators. Origami has its own ERC20 token called ORI. ORI is used for dispute resolution as well as in their decentralized payment system and allows for lower transaction costs.
What can you do with Decentralized Marketplaces?
Most decentralized marketplaces allow you to buy and sell nearly anything and pay using cryptocurrencies. Decentralized marketplaces let you save on platform fees and are accessible anywhere without needing to provide personal information or trust a central provider.
Since decentralized marketplaces are still nowhere near the size, scale, and usage of their centralized counterparts, the challenge for nearly all of them is to get more buyers and sellers on their platform. As with the rest of the crypto industry, adoption is key.

Insurance benefits are not considered taxable income. However, a tax is imposed on the transfer of a decedent’s “taxable estate.” This may also include the distribution of life insurance benefits to beneficiaries.
Mignon McLaughlin, an American journalist, and author said it best: “Philosophy teaches a man that he cannot take it with him; taxes teach him that he also cannot leave it behind.”
However, it is reassuring to know that life insurance payouts are not considered taxable income.
Typically, a beneficiary does not pay income tax on property received as a gift or inheritance. If a beneficiary later decides to sell the inherited property, he or she may be subject to capital gains or losses taxation.
To calculate the amount of tax liability, the recipient must know the value of the gifted or inherited property. The tax treatment of inherited or gifted property is different. It depends on whether the property was inherited or received as a gift during the donor’s lifetime.
Assigning the policy to another individual is one way to remove insurance from a taxable estate. However, it may still be subject to a gift tax. However, only the cash value of the policy and unearned and subsequent premiums paid by you are subject to tax. The face value of the policy is not taxable.
“This is very rare,” said Keith Diffenderffer, President of Endowment Income, LLC in Chula Vista, Calif. “It would probably require a contractual irrevocable beneficiary designation to be enforceable.” | <urn:uuid:cb9bb529-a5a1-4d72-b62e-2831c7bb7215> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://articles.lifequotes.com/life-insurance-payouts-are-not-taxable/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570651.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807150925-20220807180925-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.975914 | 323 | 1.5625 | 2 |

Anyone who lived on the west coast of North America remembers the autumn of that year, because of the spectre of powerful US nuclear bomb tests at Amchitka Island
in the Aleutians and the possibility of an induced tsunami hitting our shores in its aftermath.

In 1971, a dozen young men made history by sailing a leaky halibut boat called the Phyllis Cormack to Alaska's Amchitka Island

For example, trawl exclusion zones lie between the Buldir Reef and west of Buldir Islands grounds and between the grounds south and southwest of Amchitka Island

In the first longitudinal evaluation of its kind, researchers from the University of Toronto and St. Michael’s Hospital have discovered that one year after the event of a concussion and receiving medical clearance, signs of concussion-related injuries can still be observed in the brain.
The findings were published this fall in the journal Neurology.
“The objective of our study was to understand how the underlying brain physiology is changed after injury, and how long it takes to recover afterwards,” said U of T alumnus Nathan Churchill, a researcher at St. Michael’s Hospital and the study’s lead author.
“Looking at brain activity, blood flow and structure, we saw that many of the things that were disturbed at the early stages of concussion were still present after being medically cleared to ‘return the play.'”
Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology, the concussed brains of 24 athletes from U of T sports teams, assessed previously at the David L. MacIntosh Sport Medicine Clinic, were scanned at regular intervals: an average of four days after injury, after medical clearance to return to play (RTP) and one year after RTP. A control group of 122 athletes without concussions were also imaged to act as a reference cohort for the concussed athletes.
Of the 146 athletes included in this study, men and women were equally represented in both groups and competed in sports like water polo, lacrosse, hockey and football. All athletes also completed baseline assessments of symptoms and cognition.
By evaluating different aspects of brain physiology, including function, connectivity, blood flow and structure, researchers found that some components demonstrated different patterns of long-term recovery, while others showed non-significant concussion effects at the one-year marker after return to play.
“We found it interesting that even one year later, with no other intervening concussions or medical issues present, there were still lingering effects in the brains of previously injured athletes,” said Tom Schweizer, a senior corresponding author on the paper, associate professor with the division of neurosurgery at U of T’s department of medicine and interim director of the Keenan Research Centre for Biomedical Science at St. Michael’s Hospital.
“Particularly, we observed persistent long-term effects like a reduction in cerebral blood flow and an increase in white matter mean diffusivity.”
The researchers suspect that reduced cerebral blood flow (CBF), which is needed to deliver oxygen and nutrients to brain tissues, may be linked to subtle long-term decreases in grey matter volume after concussions. Grey matter tissues play specialized roles in the brain and are involved in planning and decision-making skills, as well as temporal areas associated with language and memory.
The increased presence of white matter mean diffusivity is also concerning because it demonstrates that concussed athletes may still be experiencing microscopic signs of swelling—possibly a sign of inflammation in the brain—suggesting that longer than a year may be required for it to return to normal function.
“It’s important to remember that the athletes in this study are in the ‘clear,” as they’ve received full medical clearance to return to play and they’re not complaining of any effects,” said Schweizer. “So, it’s not as though they’re walking around with a bunch of symptoms and they’re not well. The brain is fantastic in terms of how it is able to fix itself and adopt a new normal,” .
This is one of the reasons that the researchers believe more investigation into the effects of concussion-related brain injuries is required.
Speaking about the impact of this study, Schweizer said: “Traditionally, a concussion has been defined as a mild injury to the brain. But we now know there are potential long-term effects from concussions, which is knowledge we didn’t have before. We’re starting to realize that with concussions, even if someone is asymptomatic, there can still be effects present in the brain that are long-lasting. This is important to know and treat seriously.”

Factors influencing the choice of a barcode scanner:- reading range;
- reading width
- barcode width
- barcode contrast
- environmental impact and fall protection
- dimensions and weight of the device.
A barcode scanner for stores should be selected based on the number of customers, the range of outlets, working conditions, and employees' workload.
A wired barcode scanner is suitable for small outlets with a small flow of customers.
A stationary barcode scanner or a hand-held scanner with a stand can be used in grocery stores and at points of sale equipped with checkout counters.
The wireless barcode scanner is best suited for use in stores with multiple checkout areas. The device also, if necessary, makes it possible to accept alcohol and products in the warehouse.

I have been dying to get this post out there because every parent needs a self portrait like this in their life. Self portraits for 3-5 year olds are my absolute fave, though I’m pretty much a sucker for all self portraits by kids. They capture a moment in time like nothing else and are total keepsakes. So forgive the excessive photos happening here. I had to say goodbye to these portraits when they went home with the kids so they will just have to live on here forever and ever.
These self portraits were done by 3-5 year olds. You can 100% do them with older kids and they will be amazing!!! I want my girls to do one of these every year for the rest of their lives. This idea was inspired by some black and white self portraits I saw on Brillante Design’s instagram feed. I attempted one with my daughter, Gigi, and it morphed into this process, that I am totally in love with.
*Warning* This is a messy project we did over two classes to allow for drying time. If you are worried about mess, this may not be the project for you.
black sumi ink (we got ours at Daiso, the Japanese dollar store but you can buy it online here)
large watercolor paper about 18×24 and small watercolor paper about 8×10 (I like Canson brand)
Examples of Picasso’s Self Portrait work for inspiration
Steps (first class)
1. Our first class we set out a small piece of watercolor paper, black ink, a brush and mirror. We talked about the shapes we see in our faces and had the kids study themselves in the mirror. Then we demonstrated painting the shapes we see in the mirror with the black ink. This was a quick activity to help us with the scale we were hoping to achieve on the big paper. *Tip* If this is your child’s first time working with black ink and a brush, we recommended starting on another surface to just free paint. It is super exciting and different to work with sumi ink. Your child will likely be more ready to follow directions if they have some time to explore first. The ink will stain so wear art clothes or a smock.
2. Now it’s time to go big. You’re going to set the small papers aside and say “now that we’ve practiced small, let’s see how we can go BIG.” The kids will have a better understanding when you say big now because the paper size is so different. We talked about the size of the paper and how we are going to try to fill the whole paper with the face shapes we see in the mirror. We demonstrated this as well. When finished set the papers aside to dry completely.
3. Now it’s time to add color. This is where it can get really messy so be warned. Pastels are fantastic but the chalk will likely get all over their clothes and faces. But don’t worry. It easily washes off.
You might want to say something like, “Okay kids, it’s time to start adding color. I wonder what colors you will add to your self portrait? Chalk pastels work best when you rub them on their sides, blend them with your fingers and smudge.” Kids love to blow away the “fairy dust” from the page too. We demonstrate how to use the pastels in front of the kids as we’re talking. If you want, here’s a full tutorial I wrote on how to use chalk pastels with kids. These kids below totally rocked it.
The kids will likely get this really easily and totally get into it. Have a damp towel or sink nearby so they can wash themselves off. As you can see all the color choices were so different and exciting. We were kind of standing there mouths agape while this was happening. When you’re done you can spray the work with aqua net hairspray or special spray from the craft store. My advice would just be to put these babies in a frame as soon as possible. Aren’t they incredible??
It was so sad to say goodbye to them. Thankfully my daughters both made one and they will be hanging in our kitchen the minute we are done with our remodel. So, even though this is a messy one it is sooooo worth it. Self Portraits for 3-5 year olds for the win!

Hacking Official twitter account is now a trend to express anger via false tweets on the name of the genuine one, but the thing is Twitter security is Poor? Or Account holders are careless about account security or privacy?
Latest victim of the twitter hack is Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev’s, whose twitter account was hacked early on Thursday morning.
The amazing thing is, it’s not SEA (Syrian Electronic Army,) the group which always hack a twitter account with a message left along via tweet— Hacked by SEA!
It is still unclear who hacked this account and we call it a Anonymous Twitter Hack :)
One of the tweet from the Prime Minister’s official twitter account @MedvedevRussia:
“Resign. Ashamed of the actions of the government. I’m sorry.” (VIA: Google Translate)
This is not the single tweet made by the Anonymous hacker, along with this more tweets were posted to express anger:
Maybe better to ban electricity? Promise in the near future the government and think about it. But without me,” another tweet read (VIA: Google Translate).
“I have long wanted to say. Vova! You are wrong!” read another. And later: “Russian citizens should not suffer because of problems in the perception of common sense from the top leadership of the country.”
In the meantime, Affected twitter account seems to be recovered and working fine, but there was not any tweet posted from the last one day. | <urn:uuid:d47c8d17-afb9-4022-880c-45f4190e14a6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.hackersnewsbulletin.com/2014/08/anonymous-hacker-hijacked-russian-prime-minister-twitter-account.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570879.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808213349-20220809003349-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.925453 | 321 | 1.578125 | 2 |
The Workers’ Center in collaboration with other groups and organizations invites the community to watch the documentary film “The Fence”. After the film, Paul Welch, from the Syracuse Catholic Diocese will speak about their “Justice for Immigrants” campaign and ways to support their work in solidarity with immigrants and refugees in Central New York. Come to ArtRage Gallery, Friday May 13 at 7pm
In Oct. 2006, the U.S. government decided to build a 700-mile fence along its troubled 2000-mile-plus border with Mexico. Three years, 19 construction companies, 350 engineers, thousands of construction workers, tens of thousands of tons of metal and $3 billion later, was it all worth it?
THE FENCE (LA BARDA), Rory Kennedy’s (HBO’s Emmy-winning “Ghosts of Abu Ghraib”) latest HBO documentary, investigates the impact of the project, revealing how its stated goals – containing illegal immigration, cracking down on drug trafficking and protecting America from terrorists – have given way to unforeseen, even absurd consequences. Kennedy follows her subjects through private ranches, protected wilderness, bustling border towns and scrub deserts for a revealing, often surprising look at the controversial southern U.S. border barrier. | <urn:uuid:af229dd9-ff79-4215-aa7a-4411f1f42349> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.workerscny.org/the-fence-at-artrage-gallery-friday-may-13/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570651.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807150925-20220807180925-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.938265 | 263 | 2.015625 | 2 |
I remember when my oldest sister Bunny was home for summer break from college sewing clothes for Jani and me. That was around the time when my chin barely reached the converted treadle sewing machine tabletop. Okay all right, I'm exaggerating a bit and I was really tall for my age, but I would have been around 5 years old. I watched everything she did and asked questions like, why? After a few hours....wow... whole bunch of red and white flowery fabric become 2 new outfits with skirts that twirled! Bunny was a rockstar! I wanted to do that!
She learned to sew in her teens in high school home economics classes. Our mother didn't get the sewing gene, she always said. No, Mom was a knitter and a fine one at that. Our grandmother on the Johnston side was quite talented in the handiwork department and my Aunt Margaret always had some crafty stuff going on from kits she got by mail order.
My parents supported my eagerness to learn and always provided me with trips to the fabric store for supplies. What I clearly remember is, NOT finding the entire process quite as fascinating as the resulting outfits it yielded. The rewards were always having something new to wear that satisfied my creative expression. None the less, I'd need to learn the means to the end. That meant everything - designing, sketching, patterns, cutting, stitching, ironing, wearing and modeling. Yep, especially liked the last part! But even the beginning and middle parts really weren't that hard once you grasp the basics. One day, my dad brought home a big girl Singer sewing machine and mom told me I was enrolled in a summer sewing class and a Singer sewing contest. I won. I was 12. Not exaggerating....lol.
This is the age to start learning the basics of sewing-- around age 9 or 10 through middle school age. We learn by osmosis, like me with my chin on the sewing table. It is the reward to wear your own work and the exposure to the crafting of clothing that will often take the fear out of the scary parts of sewing for most kids. This idea for a workshop will prepare interested students for constructing wearable fashion, and will aid in developing their innate artistic and creative skills with the technical construction of clothing.
So, a business model is born. project peactrain...is a dream of many a young artist to be able to make and wear their own designs. In giving students the training to craft what they wear, and possibly what others will also want to wear, they will develop and progress through higher levels of fashion training more easily. Much of what will be taught will become old hat in a few years. Learning these skills early on is key to growth in the field of fashion. Then it's a matter of unleashing the creativity before it gets bottle-necked inside, as what tends to happen if we don't make an effort to practice our creative expression. Recognizing the traits that will help your child succeed in this area, such as curiosity and willingness to try, is key in helping your child find the right creative outlet. It's my opinion that kids are relating more to the clothing industry more now than ever, because of TV shows like Project Runway. Whatever it takes, it worth it in the end.
Being resourceful is one of the most important lessons for this class. Re-purposing, up-cycling, recycling or whatever you call it, gives us the challenges that we need to make the most with what we've got to work from. So several items of clothing to work from are going to be required. You could pull from your own wardrobe or find items at the local thrift shops. These garments would include blue or white jeans and denim jackets, men's 100% cotton shirts, skirts with lots of fabric to them, and embellishment items such as trim or appliques. A detailed list of what to bring will be provided to participating students.
project peacetrain is a name and endeavor that was partially inspired by the war in Ukraine. As an effort to raise awareness to the injustices of war, a donation to UNICEF will be made for each enrollment to the workshops.
Please let me know what you think and if you know someone who would be a great candidate as a project peacetrain designer!

red in representing the Arctic Sea as of a sudden become almost open and accessible to the adventurous navigator. more speculative relators, it has been supposed that the vast iey barrier which, during many ages, had obstructed those forlorn regions, is at last, from some revolution of our globe, broken up and dispersed. The project of finding a north-west passage to Asia-a project so often attempted, and so long abandoned - has in consequence been again revived; and the more daring scheme of penetrating to the Pole itself, has likewise been seriously proposed. Of the success of either plan, our hopes, we confess, are extremely slender; yet the prospect now held forth seems to be more inviting, on the whole, than at any former period when such bold undertakings were made. The discovery of a north-west passage, were it ever attainable, could hardly indeed be of any real benefit to our commerce, sin in such high latitudes, where only it must be sought for, it would at all times be very precarious, and liable to interruption from the prevalence of ice. The scheme of actually reaching that northern point on the surface of our globe, which terminates its ideal axis of rotation, however interesting in a philosophical view, can only be regarded as an object of pure curiosity, and not likely to lead to any useful or practical results. Yet we think it befitting the character of a great maritime nation, to embrace every chance even of improving geographical knowledge, and of extending the basis of natural science. We can hardly praise the liberality of the appointment of the ships destined to explore the Arctic seas; but it will give us infinite concern, should this expedition have the same fruitless or disastrous issue as other plans of distant discovery, which have lately been pursued under the direction of the Admiralty Board.
The books and memoirs whose titles we have prefixed to this article, contain the latest accounts of the state of the Northern Seas. They have either suggested the enterprise now pursued, or have been brought forward in consequence of its adoption. Literary speculation is never indeed wanting, in this country, to gratify or amuse the curiosity of the public.-Mr Daines Barrington, a man of learning and some ingenuity, embraced with ardour the opinion of the possibility of approaching to the Pole. In successive papers communicated to the Royal Society of London, he not on
condensed the information furnished by the older voyagers, but exhibited the results of the numerous queries relating to the same object, which he had circulated among persons engaged in the Greenland Fishery. He thus proved, that, in certain favourable seasons, the Arctic seas are left for several weeks so open, that intrepid navigators might safely penetrate to a very high latitude.
In compliance with his sanguine representations, the Admiralty despatched, in 1773, Captain Phipps, afterwards Lord Mulgrave, to explore those regions; but this commander was unsuccessful in the attempt, having reached only the latitude of 80} degrees, when his ship got surrounded with a body of ice near Spitzbergen, and escaped with extreme difficulty, though many of the whalers that summer advanced farther. Mr Barrington did not however despair, and, following out his views, he set Mr Nairne and Dr Higgins to make experiments on the congelation of sea-water. The various facts are now collected in a small volume, to which Colonel Beaufoy has subjoined an appendix, containing the answers made to his queries by Russian hunters, who are accustomed to spend the whole year in Spitzbergen, relative to the probability of travelling from that island to the Pole during winter, in sledges drawn by rein-deer. The reports of these hardy men are sufficiently discouraging. They represent the winter at Spitzbergen as not only severe but extremely boisterous, the snow falling to the depth of three or five, feet, and drifting so much along the shores by the violence of the winds, as often to block up all communication. The danger of then being surprised and overwhelmed by clouds of snow, raised by sudden gusts, is so great, that they never venture to undertake any long journeys over the ice. Nor do they think it at all practicable to have loaded sledges dragged over a surface so rough and hilly, by the force of rein-deer or dogs.
The paper of Mr Scoresby has more than ordinary claims to our attention, as exhibiting the conclusions of a most diligent, accurate, and scientific observer. Trained from infancy to the navigation of the frozen seas, under the direction of his father, a most enterprising and successful leader, he conjoins experience with ingenuity and judgment. For several years, during the intervals of his Greenland voyages, he prosecuted a regular course of study, which has enriched his mind with liberal attainments, and given a new impulse to his native ingenuity and ardour. We regret exceedingly that any jealousies or official punctilios should have prevented Government from entrusting the principal coinmand of the Polar expedition to Mr Scoresby, who not only proposed it originally, but whose talents and science, joined to his activity, perseverance and enthusiasm, afforded assuredly the best promise of its ultimate success.
Hans Egede was a benevolent enthusiast, who formed a plan of reclaiming the natives of Greenland from the errors of Paganism. After various ineffectual attempts, he at last procured, by subscription, the sum of 20001., with which he purchased a vessel, and carried his family, and forty settlers, to Baal's River, in the
64th degree of north latitude, where he landed on the 3d of July 1721. He was afterwards appointed missionary, with a small salary by the Danish government, which occasionally granted some aid to the colony. During his stay, which lasted till 1736, he laboured with great zeal in his vocation. In 1757, the year before his death, he printed his Description of Greenland, in the Danish language, at Copenhagen. Of that work, the volume now before us is a translation, much improved and enlarged, with useful additions by the editor. It contains valuable information, tinctured, as we might expect, with no small portion of credulity.
Mr Laing performed two voyages to Greenland in the successive years 1806 and 1807, as surgeon under the elder Captain Scoresby, whose son acted at that time as chief mate. His narrative is written with neatness, simplicity and taste; and comprises, in a very small compass, what information could be desired on the subject of which it treats. We cannot bestow the same commendation on the
pompous quarto of Squire O'Reilly, though he obligingly acquaints us, that the love of science and the thirst of philosophical research had prompted him to accept the situation of surgeon in a Hull whaler, and to undertake a voyage hazardous in the extreme, cooped up with uninformed, insensible beings.' It is evidently got up for the occasion, with an unusual garniture of engravings. Some of these look pretty enough, but they have been drawn by Koenig, probably from very slight sketches, and only represent objects and appearances which are already generally known. The volume itself is obviously the production of a raw compiler
-disjointed and diffuse-filled with scraps of etymology, trite classical allusions, and commonplace declamation—and written in a shapeless, incorrect, and turgid style. With all its pretena sions, it absolutely contains scarcely any thing that can be deemed new, unless we except the author's Journal of the Weather, in which he describes, with very copious detail, the various aspects of clouds, according to Howard's fanciful classification. This, perhaps, is the extent of his science; for he blunders sadly when he ventures on other graver topics. But Mr O'Reilly moclestly aspires to the honour of geographical discovery; and fancies that claim established, by naming a groupe of prominences, in the field of ice which barred his progress, the Linnæan Isles !
It is remarkable, that two centuries of extreme activity should have added so very little to our knowledge of the Arctic regions. The relations of the earlier navigators to those parts, possess an interest which has not yet been eclipsed. We may cite the voyage of Martens from Hamburg to Spitzbergen, as still the | <urn:uuid:de0983bf-e5ae-479a-8af4-e9eaa9a07954> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://books.google.es/books?id=LWEJAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA4&vq=thing&dq=editions:NYPL33433076082555&hl=es&output=html_text&source=gbs_search_r&cad=1 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570879.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808213349-20220809003349-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.961622 | 2,193 | 2.328125 | 2 |
For many years I have had significant misgivings about Facebook’s approach to protecting personal information. Despite this I kept a Facebook account as a means for my friends to update me on what they were doing (rather than me updating them, as I just did not trust that Facebook would protect my personal information). All my misgivings came out in stark relief as a result of the Cambridge Analytics scandal that has finally rocked Facebook, even if only slightly.
As privacy experts I believe we need to walk the walk when it comes to privacy issues. When you read the privacy notice on our website you will see that we have no personal information about our visitors so obviously we can’t sell it, store it, or use it. And we expect you to hold us accountable for this statement if we lied to you.
As a Facebook user my worry has been that I don’t truly understand the way my personal information is used. For example, this sentence in the Facebook Data Policy really doesn’t help me understand whether I object to what Facebook is doing or not doing:
‘We work with third party companies who help us provide and improve our Services’.
The point here is that their data policy is so GENERAL – stunningly ironic when it comes to Facebook. Facebook’s real power has been in personalising the user experience so that it is all about my likes, my dislikes, my friends, my interests. In fact, Facebook claims that it is ‘passionate about creating engaging and customized experiences for people’. So, don’t tell me that a company this big and with so many resources that it can personalise its content to such a startling degree, that furthermore claims it is ‘passionate’ about this, cannot find a way to give me my privacy notice and say how they used my (not everyone’s) personal information.
The problem is that this generalised approach suits companies like Facebook. A statement like: ‘We are able to deliver our Services, personalize content, and make suggestions for you by using this information to understand how you use and interact with our Services and the people or things you’re connected to and interested in on and off our Service’, doesn’t sound so bad, but when you actually see precisely how that information has been used, you are for the first time empowered to give consent (or not) to the use of your personal information.
This concept is vital for the protection of privacy, a point which is supported by the definition of ‘consent’ in the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). Consent is:
‘…voluntary, specific, and informed expression of will…’ I don’t think that any of us are really ‘informed’ about what Facebook does with our personal information nor can we be until such time as personalised privacy notices are available. While this may not be easy for all companies to do, it is crystal clear that it is within Facebook’s ability.
So, until Facebook automatically generates a personalised privacy notice for me that shows exactly how they use my personal information, I just don’t trust them enough even to have an inactive Facebook account with very little of my personal information.
And so for all the other #deletefacebook supporters, here is some help about how to delete Facebook (not just deactivate it). However, be warned, Facebook doesn’t delete your account for 14 days even though you have specifically told them to. | <urn:uuid:aeb01e6d-5ef8-42a5-b92b-1f4931e8a68b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://novcon.co.za/2018/05/15/why-i-deleted-my-facebook-account/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570651.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807150925-20220807180925-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.9438 | 735 | 1.765625 | 2 |
When one party makes an offer and another accepts it, a contract is created. Generally, contracts will be written documents in Mississippi, but oral agreements of certain types can be the basis of a contract. Breach of Contract is when a contract is not fulfilled by one or more parties. In the course of business, a party might choose not to live up to its bargain, and in some situations it may even be impossible to do so. The circumstances for a breach of contract determine what will happen as a result. Sometimes the party that breached might be ordered to pay the other for damages, and bringing the case to court can achieve an order of this kind.
What If Someone Fails to Honor Their End of the Contract in Gautier
In Gautier, breaches of contract usually entitle the party not in breach to recover a monetary damage award from the other party. The amount of this award is frequently a matter of dispute in court, however. If this disagreement cannot be resolved, the matter may be taken to court. Courts generally require you to plead the amount of damages you suffered in the initial complaint.
What If I Can
If money cannot redress the harm suffered, courts in Gautier,Mississippi might grant injunctions, which are orders for the party at fault to do what it agreed. If your concerns seem to fit this remedy, you must voice the complaint to the court properly so that it can consider the issue. Breaches of contract do not always indicate wrong doing. Therefore, courts do not only consider whether a breach of contract actually occurred; how and why the obligation went unfulfilled are also factors in Mississippi law.
How Can an Attorney Help?
If intending to breach a contract, a party must proceed cautiously in letting the other party know. Statements of intent to breach a contract may be taken as wrong doing if they are voiced improperly. It is important to be aware of how Mississippi law may impact your case when fulfilling a contract becomes impractical. Gautier, Mississippi If you believe a contract has been or may be violated, you should consult with an Lawyer before proceeding. Contracts disputes almost always involve delicate issues of timing. A Gautier, Lawyer specializing in contractual breach may lend help when things go wrong. | <urn:uuid:e58cd2d3-598f-4768-b54b-dbaeec737acd> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://businessattorneys.legalmatch.com/MS/Gautier/breach-of-contract.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570651.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807150925-20220807180925-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.942995 | 456 | 1.742188 | 2 |
Warlock means ‘traitor’
This word is never used in Wicca religion
From the guide in Salem Witch Museum
I am writing this on April 25, 2007. Today in Moscow in the new Christ, the Saviour Cathedral they served a funeral service for a Warlock. Dignitaries from all over the world witnessed a blasphemy- a person who officially belonged to the atheistic upbringing, who violated all possible amendments, who disgusted the face of the Earth by his very presence underwent an official Church ceremony under the face of Jesus. Then the Undead was buried on the VIP cemetery and … the country he worked so hard to destroy had to mourn for him for a day. I am sure, though, that many glasses of vodka were raised in Russian families to celebrate that event and the only question the people asked was if his head was cut off and if they had protruded a wooden stake through his heart or not. People of Russia are used to warlocks and they know that sometimes they come back, like Steven King wisely had noticed.
Warlock means ‘traitor’. Boris Yeltzin, the one so praised now by all those Undead in power was such a quintessential traitor that when he retired President Putin had to issue a special decree of immunity from any prosecution for him and his relatives. In sorts Putin protected the Warlock Y from his own country because the wave of hate could physically be felt. In a way thousands of people came to see if WY actually was dead, to confirm the good news so rare now for millions of Russians who practically were doomed to become ‘citizens of Eurasian Brazil’ by WY and those who brought him in.
WY betrayed his upbringing by selling Russian lands to whoever wanted. He betrayed his people by first deceiving them in 1991 (The agreement of the dissolution was not legal because before that a population referendum came out fully against it) and then killing them in 1993 when he instigated a bloody attack on the Russian Parliament. He betrayed all his friends, whether communists or not. He betrayed the country by first letting the territories secede, then weakening the army and then – provoking a bloody Chechen war. He abandoned millions of Russians to ethnic cleansing in the so- called Independent States. He betrayed the trust of the people of Russia by sanctioning and supporting the ‘privatization’ which was nothing but thievery. He discredited and practically eliminated any Russian national foreign policy. He betrayed the allies in Yugoslavia. He falsified the election process in 1996. He then betrayed those who helped his to do that.. He was a drunk, a bastard, an ignorant and shallow disgust as a human. Under normal circumstances he would be tried and hanged. But the Undead are now ruling the world and Warlock Y goes to the Church. That is after he betrayed the Church too by letting the primary birth place of Russian Christendom, Kiev to belong to another state. That never happened since 17th Century, for God’s sake. What times we live in, really?
I could say much more about WY, although I know that here, in the US they love him. Who cares for all those dead because of him; they are not our dead, right? Wrong, folks. I will not give a name, but here is an American victim of his ( taken from the Russian sources on the October events, 1993):
‘…That young man from Louisiana, USA came to Moscow to open a law firm with two companions. He was 28. During the massacre of unarmed people at Ostankino by the elite military regiment Vyutaz he behaved with absolutely unbelievable heroism dragging wounded people out of the line of fire. He saved at least 12 people when he himself was killed by a sniper. He was survived by his parents a brother and a fiancée.’
The name is preserved by the Russians who listed all who died in those tragic events. You may be sure that young man was never praised for his heroism here. But folks, beware; when warlocks are on the prowl everyone is in danger. | <urn:uuid:9cd0dccd-79ed-4a03-84ea-dbf2b23d9d4c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.opednews.com/articles/genera_mark_sas_070425_warlock_y.htm | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573533.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818215509-20220819005509-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.984003 | 842 | 1.8125 | 2 |

Post pandemic, a lot has changed at workplaces. A recent study, titled ‘The Future of Recruiting – Asia Pacific’, predicted that an employer’s brand will, from 2021, hinge very much on empathy and actions. This is in contrast with the reality that says that the new work models, including hybrid work model and WFH model, has stressed upon the need to have tech-savvy, and innovative millennial workforce.
With the pandemic driving a fundamental shift in the way companies operate, it is accelerating the need for an adaptable and agile workforce to bolster success. In such a scenario, with generations of workers with different skills, perspectives and expectations, how can employers manage and engage the workforce constructively, without causing distress to any one generation, especially seniors?
So how do employers manage and engage multi-generations with such diverse skills, perspectives and expectations?
The mindset game
By 2025, millennials will make up 75% of the global workforce. And despite employers focusing on changing their strategies to adapt to the millennial workforce, a lot more needs to be done to engage and recognise this generation of employees.
On the other hand, although the oldest members of Gen X (read: seniors) are nearing the 50+ years milestone and fast-approaching the retirement, they are there with years of experience and traditional approach towards work (that has proven results). Companies that ignore this potential will lose out on a vital opportunity. While the need for upskilling and innovative ideas is undeniable, companies can find their biggest supporters in the seniors, with 71% of them believing in their organisations’ mission or purpose. Employers need to understand that this generation are valuable assets for the organisations by virtue of their experience and leadership skills. Thus, employers must develop initiatives to encourage autonomy and implement effective recognition strategies if they were to maximise the potential of this talent.
So, while millennials bring a whole new set of expectations, fresh and innovative ideas to the workplace, the seniors, working in large numbers, have a huge experience with them, along with impeccable trust and loyalty. And if organisations have to weigh what works better for the organisation, they will echo, ‘the best of both’. But the pandemic has once again proved that while new-age innovations are instrumental in an organisation’s growth, what’s equally (if not more) important is the wise experience that the senior employees have in dealing with crisis situations. Organisations, therefore, now respect these virtues and honour the seniors whose experience and years of hard work can bring out the best solutions to the worst of problems.
Embracing generational differences
By now, we have understood that one of the greatest challenges of managing a multigenerational workforce is getting each generation to acknowledge and respect the unique attributes of the others. This is complicated by the fact that many people resist being viewed through a generational lens.
After all, we are living in a world where nothing supersedes ‘I’. In such a scenario, getting different generations together is a task, but once accomplished, it’s a win-win situation for all. The key is to embrace differences (generational) as strengths and opportunities.
Managers and employees must learn to show tremendous respect across multiple generations, recognising that great ideas, creativity, and innovation come in all shapes, sizes, and generations. Each generation has a distinct set of values, attitudes, and behaviours. They come with their own expectations, priorities, approaches, work styles, and communication preferences. And each, in their own ways, can be an asset to an organisation.
Bridging the generational gap
Today's multigenerational workforce offers significant benefits to employers in terms of a range of experience and creative problem-solving skills. Creating a space to accommodate the characteristics of different generations in the workplace can help ensure that everyone is able to reach their potential. When dealing with a multigenerational workforce, it's important to be sensitive to the various work styles and communicate through a variety of channels. Younger employees may prefer to receive information digitally, while employees from earlier generations may find it better to have immediate access to management to have their queries answered.
What can also work in a multigeneration organisation is passing on of the knowledge of senior staff members and older generations to the younger generations with the help of training programmes and workshops, etc. Encouraging informal mentoring while on the job can also be rewarding for both experienced and less-experienced employees. The idea is to make them realise each other’s strengths and weaknesses and fill in for each other.
On a concluding note, it won’t be wrong to say that while the fundamentals – meaning, purpose, aiming for growth – are a constant across generations, what changes are the expectations that different generations have in terms of day-to-day working. And if this is taken care of, organisations can succeed in bringing different generations on one common platform, with one common goal – to grow and let organisations grow along. | <urn:uuid:1a51c55a-0f96-4357-8b48-fd44603d3e31> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://hrsea.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/employee-experience/the-battle-of-ages/89549829 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570879.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808213349-20220809003349-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.944571 | 1,034 | 1.515625 | 2 |

Apart from Columbus's own logbooks, Spanish literature gives few details about the two caravels that accompanied the Santa Maria on its Atlantic voyage.Originally, Niña and Pinta were lateen rigged caravels. It is known they belonged to the Pinzon brothers who took part in the historic voyage as captains. On reaching the Canaries, Pinta was fitted out as a square rigger. This operation required replacement of the mast and led to a four week delay. Christopher Columbus always referred to his flagship as "Nao", and the other two simply as "the caravels".

Approved by the Order of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan of June 3, 2014 No. 372
1. The program of improvement of safety control of movement on highways of the Republic of Tajikistan for 2014-2016 (further - the Program) is developed for the purpose of protection of life and health of citizens, property, guarantee of their legitimate rights by means of participation in traffic, environmental protection from hazardous substances removed the engine of vehicles.
2. Achievement of these purposes requires the solution of the following problems:
- increase in efficiency of public administration and control of traffic safety;
- prevention of dangerous actions of participants of traffic and increase in transport discipline of participants of traffic;
- reduction of technical condition of highways in compliance with the existing regulations;
- providing road-building organizations with technical means of regulation of traffic;
- reduction of the educational organizations for training of drivers in compliance with the existing regulations and improvement of the quality of training of transport drivers;
- enhancement legal, information, organizational and technical supply of supervising activities;
- increase in efficiency of antiemergency, rescue operations and rendering emergency medical service by the victim of the road accidents;
- eradication of any corruption phenomena among employees of supervisory authorities.
3. Organized activities of transport are considered basis of effective economic development of the state and ensuring transport safety comprehensively promotes its activities as safe and due functioning of transport system directly influences economic, military, technological, ecological and social safety of the state.
4. From 2003 for 2013 on highways of the republic over 16900 road accidents owing to which more than 4960 people died are registered and more than 19300 people were wounded. On average annually in the territory of the republic as a result of the road accidents 451 persons perish and over 1750 people are injured from which more than a half become disabled people, the caused damage to national economy is also considerable.

Abby and Will Csaplar Lake George Collection
Abby and Will Csaplar met in the 1950's on Silver Bay in Lake George and have vacationed there ever since. Their passion for the Lake led to an incredible collection of Lake George images-including stereoviews, post cards, photographs-as well as souveniers and ephemera. Lake George is located in the Champlain Valley watershed along the southeastern portion of the Adirondacks. Its natural beauty and important role in the early history of our country have made it one of the most popular vacation destinations in New York State.
Scope of Collection
This collection contains images of Lake George found in stereoviews, postcards, photographs, maps, publications and ephemera collected over 20 years by Abby and Will Csaplar and donated in 2012. | <urn:uuid:5b0b224b-9474-41b0-9471-fe40b657c50d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://nyheritage.org/index.php/collections/abby-and-will-csaplar-lake-george-collection | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570651.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807150925-20220807180925-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.920958 | 179 | 1.53125 | 2 |

There are several ' Book' books written for younger readers (but note: just because they were written for younger readers doesn't mean adults can't enjoy them as well). In The Emerald Atlas by John Stephens, a magical book is at the centre of the adventure. Even Harry Potter gets in on the action in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, when Ginny is possessed by a book, and in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, one of Harry's schoolbooks leads him astray. Matthew Skelton's Endymion Spring is set in Oxford, where an enchanted book bites the main character and starts a whole string of mysterious happenings. In Marcus Zusak's brilliant novel, The Book Thief, books play a huge role in the life of one Liesl Meminger, who is fostered in the German countryside during WWII. Cornelia Funke has written a (pardon the pun) spellbinding trilogy that features a bookbinder with a magical ability. The trilogy starts with Inkheart, which also happens to be the title of a long-sought book.
I'm sure there are many more that I have yet to read, such as The Rule of Four by Ian Caldwell, The Club Dumas by Arturo Pérez-Reverte and The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. Those are on my to-read list. Do you have some favourite books about books? Share the titles here!

Content and Music Licensing for Podcasters: Using Music, Media, and Video Content in a Podcast
By Justin M. Jacobson, Esq.
Adding “Podcast Host” to your resume? There has been a growth in podcasting, including a large increase in overall podcast “listenership.” This expansion includes podcasts hosted by individuals and celebrities as well as those created by businesses who are either launching or purchasing a single show or an entire podcasting network. As a result of the increased audience, different entertainment and media companies have taken their own approach to monetizing podcasting. For example, some entities are spending millions of dollars to acquire existing successful podcast shows and networks; while, other media businesses are launching their own podcast shows or networks. In fact, digital streaming service Spotify reportedly spent a total of “$400 million” in a series of large content acquisitions for a variety of existing podcast shows and networks. These purchases included acquiring the Joe Rogan Show and the Bill Simmons Podcast as well as purchasing podcast networks Gimlet Media and Parcast. Conversely, Amazon created its own new podcast network, “Audible Originals” to provide its own exclusive original content, including works from entertainers such as “Carrie Coon, Christian Slater, Kevin Bacon and Yvette Nicole Brown.” In addition to well-known celebrities, journalists, and other on-air talent hosting their own podcasts, there has also been a rise in individuals, industry professionals, and businesses hosting, creating, and distributing their own podcasts. In all of these cases, it is crucial that a podcast operator is aware of their various legal rights in any of the broadcasted material, especially if they incorporate or use any music, sounds, videos, animations, text or any other protected third-party intellectual property in their recorded and publicly distributed podcast.
Podcast Usage of Music, Images, Photographs, Videos and Other Third-Party Media
One of the most important considerations for many podcasters is the usage of media content during their broadcast, especially the inclusion of another party’s sound or video clip. There are several specific legal principles applicable to a podcast that incorporates an existing song, sound effect, video, photograph, animation, or any other recorded sound in a live or taped episode. A guiding concept for these situations is that in cases where the podcast host is utilizing and playing any pre-existing material or any works that are created by another individual, the podcaster must obtain prior written authorization or consent from the appropriate owner(s) of the work, typically in the form of a written contract called a “license.” This means that prior approval is required for any material that the host did not independently create on their own or purchase outright from a third-party. This legal requirement specifically applies to a podcaster’s use of any original or pre-recorded music, sound effects, images, videos or even the incorporation of another person’s recorded voice.
Podcast Usage of Licensed Popular Music, Royalty-Free Music, Sounds, and Audio Clips
The proper and legal usage of music and other pre-recorded sound clips in a podcast is a particularly unique situation as there exists two copyrights in every recorded track. These two copyrights include the sound recording (SR) copyright as well as the underlying musical composition (PA) copyright. Since these two distinct rights in a song exist, a podcast wishing to incorporate licensed music into their content must receive prior written permission from both owners of a copyright in a song. While some musicians possess the full copyrights in their work, a podcast show trying to fully license a popular or well-known song for an episode may be required to deal with several business entities for proper clearance, including working with a recording label and/or a music publishing company.
As a result of U.S. copyright law, there are a variety of potential licenses that must be obtained to properly incorporate a third-party song into a recorded podcast, including ones needed for the legal use of an existing mainstream or “popular” musical track. These required clearances could include a combination of a mechanical license, a public performance license, a digital transmission license and potentially a synchronization or “synch.”
What is a Mechanical License? Why a Podcast Operator Needs One (or Two)?
First, a mechanical license may be needed for the distribution of a podcast, because the copyright owner’s mechanical right in a song is triggered when a copy of the podcast is made and publicly transmitted. This licensable transaction occurs when a digital copy of a copyrighted audio recording is made and commercially distributed to the consuming public. The creation of the digital file mandates that the podcaster obtains the proper clearance to play the third-party audio on their podcast, including by potentially paying a licensing fee and/or royalty to the appropriate rightsholder. To effectuate this payment, a podcast operator might utilize a music licensing company that administers mechanical rights on behalf of musicians and other entertainment companies, such as the Harry Fox Agency. Furthermore, if a podcaster is playing their own “cover” song of an existing third-party work during an episode, then the host might also be required to obtain a separate mechanical license to legally play the “cover” song on their podcast. This additional mechanical license could be retrieved by using an online licensing system such as Harry Fox Agency’s digital licensing software, “Songfile.”
What is a Public Performance License? Who Issues Public Performance Licenses?
In addition to a mechanical license, a public performance license is also required for a podcaster to publicly play another party’s song or recorded sound clip. The internet broadcast of the podcast initiates the song owner’s exclusive right to the public performance of their musical work. As a result, a podcast host or content network is required to obtain a license from the appropriate rights holders. In many of these cases, a podcaster can receive the mandatory license from a performing rights organization (PRO), including licensing societies such as ASCAP or BMI (in the U.S.). In fact, to expedite the licensing process, many of these rights management organizations issue “blanket” licenses that authorize the podcaster to publicly perform any of the musical works contained in their respective catalogue.
What is a Digital Performance License of Sound Recording? What is SoundExchange?
In addition to a public performance and a mechanical license, written authorization is also required for the digital distribution of a podcast containing another party’s sound recording. Specifically, the broadcasting of the sound clip in a digital transmission triggers another one of an owner’s rights in an audio recording. This is because the activity of distributing the recorded podcast on the internet prompts the need for a podcaster to obtain the rights to publicly perform, reproduce and distribute copies of the copyrighted sound recording (as distinguished from musical composition (PA)). This requirement exists because the public performance license available from a performing rights society, such as BMI, only permits the podcaster to publicly perform a “cover” of an existing song on their podcast. As a result, the obtained rights authorization only includes the right to use the musical composition (PA), which contains the track’s lyrics. However, if the host or network desires to play an existing sound recording (i.e., an existing MP3 or WAV file) during a podcast, then the podcast host is required to directly obtain a license from the sound recording’s owner or from a third-party rights organization on behalf of its holder.
When determining the appropriate licensing avenue, a podcaster must first determine whether the podcast is available for “on-demand” listening or not. (17 USC §114) If a podcast is unavailable for “on-demand” listening and it just airs live without the existence or creation of any recorded or publicly accessible copy of the finished podcast, then the required digital performance license can potentially be obtained from a third-party rights management company such as SoundExchange. In these cases, the licensing organization issues the appropriate licenses in exchange for a fee paid by a podcast network. The amounts paid differs based on a variety of factors, including the podcast’s listenership as well as whether the podcast is a commercial or a non-commercial one. However, if a podcast incorporating another’s existing sound recording is recorded and available for “on-demand” consumption, then a license cannot be obtained by using a third-party entity such as SoundExchange. Instead, in these instances, the appropriate authorization must be obtained directly from the sound recording’s owner which in many cases is a record label.
What is a Synch License? Video Podcast Needs a Synchronization License
Furthermore, and in addition to the above licenses, if a podcaster plays a musical track in an audio-visual or other recorded video format, then the podcast host must obtain a synchronization license, referred to as a “synch” license, from the owners of the song. Synch licenses apply to the use of music by any party in any audio-visual work, including in a television show, a motion picture, a video game or a commercial.
Another related consideration for a podcast operator to be aware of is that even if a podcast host is a major artist or musician or is credited on a track, the talent might not necessarily possess any or all the rights in a song (including their own) as well as, the individual might not have the ability or right to license the work. As a result, if a show or network plays a host, a guest or non-host’s music live on the air, the podcast network is still required to properly license the audio prior to playing it. Therefore, even if a musician is appearing on a podcast to promote their own music, the podcast operator must still obtain all proper clearances for both copyrights in the music, even when the artist plays their own recorded song or if they are performing the music live. These facts further reiterate the benefits and need for a proper written agreement with any podcast hosts and/or guests to ensure that the podcast network possesses the rights and licenses that it requires to operate legally, including any rights to incorporate and play the music in a podcast episode.
Alternatives To Paid and Licensed Podcast Music – Commissioned, Royalty-Free Music and Libraries
If podcaster does not desire to incorporate existing mainstream or popular sound recordings, there are several alternatives to obtain legal music for podcast usage. One option is by paying for original music from a third-party musician, including from an upcoming or even an established musical creator. This artist would then either license or assign their rights in the audio work to the content distributor in exchange for some form of payment, residual royalty payment, author credit, or a combination of all of these. This transaction could be in the form of the podcaster purchasing or directly licensing the commissioned original audio from the creative by executing a written contract that provides a full written copyright assignment or license of the created work from the creator to the podcaster. This arrangement might be fashioned as a “work for hire” or an independent contractor relationship. In fact, it is prudent for a podcast host to contract for and acquire rights in and to any third-party contributions. This requirement applies to works made by any other person involved in a recorded podcast, including securing rights from the creator of the show’s anthem as well as from the individual responsible for the creation of any “intro” and “outro” music.
When a podcast host is unable or unwilling to license or commission original music or audio for a show, the operator has some other alternatives to receive usable music. One of the available options is utilizing a work under a “Creative Commons” license. However, a Creative Commons-licensed work is subject to several restrictions, including specifically prohibited from being utilized for a “commercial” purpose. Therefore, this route is potentially unavailable to many podcast networks, especially those desiring to generate revenues from their show. (Justin M. Jacobson, Esq., The Essential Guide to the Business & Law of Esports & Professional Video Gaming, 160-162 (CRC Press 2021)) If a podcast does not produce income from its podcast, then the host’s incorporation of Creative Commons-licensed work in a podcast must also comply with the credit requirements specified by the author as well as include any required copyright notices that accompany the licensed work.
Since the “Creative Commons” license is only available for non-monetized podcasts, another option for a paid podcast operator might be to utilize “royalty-free” sounds. If a podcaster is unable to purchase royalty-free music, there are musical creations that are completely “copyright free” or “no copyright” ones. (Justin M. Jacobson, Esq., The Essential Guide to the Business & Law of Esports & Professional Video Gaming, 160-162 (CRC Press 2021)) This description means that the work is completely free to use because no creator has asserted any copyright in the sound recording or attempts to claim any rights in the audio clip at all. (Justin M. Jacobson, Esq., The Essential Guide to the Business & Law of Esports & Professional Video Gaming, 160-162 (CRC Press 2021)) As mentioned, there are also “royalty free” sound clips that can be purchased for use in a podcaster’s video or audio episode. In many cases, a “royalty free” track might have an initial payment or license fee to use the audio work for a specific purpose, such as in a commercial podcast. The podcast network’s use would be considered “royalty free” because their operator would not be required to make any additional or subsequent payments known as a residual or “royalty” payments to the original creator to continue to utilize the originally licensed audio clip.
In addition to “copyright free” and “royalty-free” licensed music, a podcaster can also acquire rights to licensed sounds from a music library or other licensed music catalogue. Many of these music licensing services provide “blanket” licenses for podcasters that permit the usage of any media contained in their “library” in exchange for a one-time payment or a monthly or annual subscription fee.
Using Artwork, Text, Trademarks, Photographs, Images and Video Clip In a Podcast
Similar to the usage of a pre-recorded or original sound clip in a podcast, any artwork, video, or photography that a podcaster utilizes to market or that are incorporated into a podcast, such as any cover or intro artwork, must be either an original work of the host or it must be licensed for use from the creator or other proper copyright owner. Thus, a podcaster might commission original images, animations, logos, podcast cover artwork, or audio-visual works that would be owned by the network. These creative works would be used subject to any existing rights agreements entered with the original creator of the work. This rights transfer should ideally be memorialized in a signed document that provides any and all rights to the podcast network, including the authorization to use the work as the podcast network desires, including for any and all commercial, marketing and promotional purposes in any medium now existing or invented hereafter.
Furthermore, a podcast host is required to obtain the proper licenses from the various rightsholders of the protected work to incorporate a film or television video clip in a recorded podcast. These works might be licensed by a television network or production company or by a film studio or distributor or sometimes by the director or original filmmaker. Similarly, for a podcast to incorporate any written text authored by someone else, the podcast network must secure the express permission of the copyright owner of the material. This requirement applies to the usage of any written words that appear in a blog post, a book, a journal entry, a magazine, or a newspaper article. These types of work may be licensed by the original author or from a third-party business such as a book publisher, a newspaper, or a magazine distributor. Finally, if a podcast uses another company’s trademark or trade name in a commercial context, it is beneficial for the host to include a reference to the existence of registered trademarks of the other company in the podcast show notes as well as incorporating an “on-air” mention and acknowledgment of the company’s existing rights in the protected mark during the podcast itself.
In conclusion, it is apparent that the public use of another party’s copyrighted material invokes a series of licensable transactions that every podcaster must be aware of. In fact, in response to the arduous music licensing process, licensing organization SoundExchange partnered with a third-party service to connect podcasters with labels and rights holders to create a more streamlined music licensing process and to better facilitate a podcast host or content network’s acquisition of proper licenses. This new partnership reportedly enables all podcasters to receive “a global license for all rights needed to use feature music in a podcast, including master use, performance, synchronization, and mechanical rights.” Therefore, due to the complex nature and potential monetary liability and other copyright infringement issues, it is crucial that any publicly shared or distributed podcast, containing another party’s audio is properly licensed, especially those podcasts that are created and operated for profit.

New York City (NYC) is a unique area for a shelter welfare as it has limited dog-friendly housing and an abundance of dogs. A common barrier to entry for NYC dog adopters trying to rent apartments is the breed label the shelter assigned to their dog, despite the fact breed labelling is primarily based off intuition and physical appearance. Following research by Gunter, Barber and Wynne (2016) that saw adoption rates at a Florida animal shelter increase following the removal of breed labels from the shelter’s kennel cards, some shelters ceased using breed labels. One was Bideawee, a limited admission shelter with three locations in the greater New York area, including one in NYC. In this study, we looked at if the length of stay (LOS) of dogs at Bideawee changed following the removal of breed labels from adoption cards. Bideawee dog adoption data from 16-month time periods before and after breed labels were removed was compared. The average LOS of a dog at Bideawee decreased 8.3 days once breed labels were removed (Mdn = 19.0) compared to when breed labels were in place (Mdn = 30.3). A Mann Whitney test indicated that this difference was statistically significant U(Nno breed labels = 1259, Nbreed labels = 987) = 386309.5, z = -15.41, p < .001. Dogs with a “green” behavior assessments (on a scale of green, blue, yellow, red) were almost four and a half times more likely to be adopted faster than “red” dogs (HR: 4.495, 95% CI 2.755-7.335, p < .001) before breed labels was removed, but only two times as likely to be adopted faster afterwards (HR: 2.220, 95% CI 1.514-3.254, p < .001). The return rate stayed constant across the two time periods at 6%, despite the sometimes-held belief that without dog labels breed labels will increase. This study provides new insight on dog adoptions and factors impacting LOS in the Greater NYC area and helps evaluate the recommendations on the use of breed labels in shelters. Similar studies should be conducted in open admission shelters to determine if results hold.

The attempt to enslave India under Hindu elite castes continues. This time it is by shoving Sanskrit down the throats of upcoming generations so that those who know “most” about it (read priests) will once more be the final word on knowledge.
The myth being sold is that Sanskrit was the language of India and Muslim invaders wiped it out. I suppose the RSS has never heard of Sant Dnyaneshwar who wrote the Dnyaneshwari so that people could have access to the knowledge of the Bhagwad Gita in THEIR LANGUAGE which was Prakrit. Sanskrit was FORBIDDEN to them.
This is before the Muslim invasions, incidentally.
Sanskrit has been the barrier that firewalled the unwashed masses from power and knowledge recorded in it by the simple virtue of being forbidden to the masses. Its exclusiveness became its limitation.
Today there is hardly anyone other than priests who bothers with Sanskrit and the language continues to be the language of rituals conducted for the masses by the brahmans.
Now, as language is accessible to all, and the priests are left hoarding a coma while both power and knowledge proliferate in languages accessible to more people, the priests see this mythical Hindu Rashtra as an opportunity to reestablish the eroding supremacy. When the language they hoarded is no longer useful to the masses and on the verge of extinction, they impose it on the masses as their true language. Dnyaneshwar is laughing in his samadhi here.
First the upper classes used Sanskrit to hoard power, now use to regain power. Indian history is peppered with the persecution of great people for touching that holy cow Sanskrit without the “gate pass” of the Brahmin caste. When Brahmins held power, Sanskrit was hoarded and denied to the masses. The Brahmins teaching Sanskrit in the Pune Hindu college threatened to resign rather than teach Sanskrit to non-Brahmins. Now that Sanskrit is left hollow and of little practical use, its utility must be revived if the Brahmin is to be restored to supremacy. Those forbidden to use it will now be the slave labour engaged to revive it. Far from refusing it to non-Brahmins, it will now be repackaged as the true heritage of those it was denied to.
In my view, imposing an alien language on the people is a sign of colonization. Sanskrit is no longer forbidden to non-Brahmins. However, it also is no longer of interest to enough people for the removal of the ban to mean anything. Without popular adoption, Sanskrit will remain the language of mumbo jumbo rituals and the Brahmins who claim the knowledge of it will be left with a white elephant. So now the supremacists want to impose Sanskrit to restore wealth to their intellectual hoard, while people are led to believe that secrets of modern knowledge are hidden in the vedas. The masses that the language of snobs suppressed by denying Sanskrit will be the slave labour to restore it to its supremacist glory. Free! Free! Free!
The RSS are trying to invade India with a cold war on the majority of Indians who were never native adopters of Sanskrit. Nor were their ancestors. A history is being invented so that a country may be appropriated by citing it. | <urn:uuid:f99f93e7-1760-4075-b927-3d318a968e1a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://aamjanata.com/sanskriti-sanskrit-language-brahmins/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570879.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808213349-20220809003349-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.962214 | 679 | 1.773438 | 2 |
Verification of rectangular RC cross-section
The cross-section is rectangular, unilaterally reinforced and loaded by the bending moment and normal compression force. The program verifies a reinforced concrete section using the method of limit deformation. The maximum allowable strain of concrete in compression is 0,002 - 0,0035. Compression reinforcement is not taken into account. Minimum eccentricity is applied:
The computed degree of reinforcement is checked using the following expressions:
- for fy = 460 N/mm2
- for fy = 250 N/mm2
Interaction diagram N-M
Usage ratio of concrete cross-section subject to the combination of bending moment and normal force is determined as |0L| / |0R|. Where L is load and R is strength with prescribed excentricity.
Bending without normal force
The cross-section is rectangular, reinforced on one side and loaded by the bending moment Mu.
The permissible moment for a given area of reinforcements As reads:
The program further checks whether the location of neutral axis x is less than the limit location of neutral axis xmax given by:
First, the program computes the ultimate shear strength of concrete Vc.
The νc values are for fcu above 25 N/mm2 multiplied by (fcu / 25)1/3
If the ultimate shear strength of concrete is exceeded, the ultimate shear strength Vmax is checked.
Next, the necessary reinforcement area is given by: | <urn:uuid:af76c65b-d6f8-4f88-b924-1a7067c03ed7> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.finesoftware.eu/help/geo5/cs/verification-of-rectangular-rc-cross-section-01/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570651.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807150925-20220807180925-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.862131 | 319 | 2.203125 | 2 |
In 2007 a group of IUGFS alumni, the IU Geological Sciences Department, and the IU Foundation embarked on a fundraising campaign to solidify the future of IUGFS as a premier, sustainable location for teaching geosciences in the field.
At that time there were two distinct, but overlapping goals:
- Create scholarship support for students, courses, and research at IUGFS.
- Fund infrastructure improvements, especially construction of a modern classroom building, to support courses for students, professionals, and other users.
In 2012 the unofficial first phase of the fundraising campaign ended with the construction and dedication of the new Classroom Building. <insert a link to pictures of the Classroom Building and pictures from the fundraising event>
In addition to approximately $700,000 of Donor funding used to build the Classroom Building, AAPG provided money for workstations and Schlumberger provided Petrel software for the workstation training room.
Phase 1 raised a total of $3,837,628 from individual Donors. Less than 20% of the Phase 1 Donor funding was used for construction of the Classroom Building. A small amount of money was set aside in cash accounts for future IUGFS maintenance and building needs, but most of it went into scholarship funds at the IU Foundation. The annual earnings from those funds generate about $135,000 per year to support geoscience courses taught at IUGFS, students taking IU geoscience courses at IUGFS, geoscience research conducted in the greater IUGFS area, and IUGFS operating expenses. | <urn:uuid:e81c2deb-9f11-45c6-b383-e00a652169f9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://iugfs.indiana.edu/alumni-giving/visionary-support/index.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570879.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808213349-20220809003349-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.946422 | 324 | 1.992188 | 2 |

Google is inviting developers to contribute to its Fuchsia functioning program, which is commonly regarded as a probable substitute for Android.
Fuchsia has been in the operates because 2016, when it was first learned that Google engineers had published the codebase on GitHub. Now the enterprise is brazenly courting developers to lead to the undertaking, which it describes as a “a typical-purpose, open supply operating system”.
Google says the priorities of the new working technique are “security, updatability and performance”, at minimum two of which may possibly be regarded as Android’s most important weaknesses. Android units are 50 situations a lot more probable to be infected with malware than Apple’s iOS, Panda Security claimed in a 2019 report, whilst the fractured nature of Android signifies that lots of handsets are not updated to the latest version of the working technique within as minor as a calendar year right after they were initial introduced.
Fuchsia is a extensive, lengthy way from appearing on devices, even so. There’s no consumer interface and only a pretty minimal set of components that can run the running technique at this phase, nor is it completely ready for developers to commence coding applications for.
Alternatively, Google is inviting developers to get involved with the task, both as a member to submit patches or as a committer with whole produce accessibility to the code. It is also made a new public mailing list for discussions about the code and an challenge tracker so contributors can see which objects will need fixing.
Google is publishing a complex roadmap that outlines the subsequent steps for the operating system.
“Fuchsia is an open source undertaking that is inclusive by design, from the architecture of the system itself, to the open up supply neighborhood that we’re constructing,” Wayne Piekarski, the developer advocate for Fuchsia at Google writes on the company’s Open up Resource weblog.
“The project is even now evolving quickly, but the fundamental rules and values of the method have remained fairly continuous during the project.”
Google has yet to publicly reveal what it is lengthy-phrase plans for the challenge are, while there is considerably speculation that Fuchsia is witnessed as a replacement for equally Android and Chrome OS, making it possible for Google to aim its advancement exertion on one particular core functioning system. | <urn:uuid:d5c4df01-a33e-41f0-a686-5dc54559d8e1> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://michaelkors-outletonline.xyz/googles-android-alternative-fuchsia-moves-a-action-closer.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570651.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807150925-20220807180925-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.953411 | 487 | 1.882813 | 2 |

The search for the “next big thing” in technology has almost taken on mythic proportions. Just as Captain Ahab became obsessed with his pursuit of the elusive white whale in Moby Dick, it’s easy to get caught up in pursuing big solutions and big technology. But that is not necessarily the path to success.
I’m a believer in the Internet of Things (IoT) as the driver of transformational change across industries. In fact, I just wrote a book about it. But that doesn’t mean every IoT deployment is going to be transformational—or even moderately successful. Successful IoT deployments do have at least one thing in common, however—they focus on solving the customer’s real business problems.
This third ingredient in my Recipe for IoT Success may seem obvious to you. Of course you focus on real problems! But you may be surprised at how often these efforts wander off track because someone is chasing a shiny new technology instead of starting with the customer—and the customer’s problems—at the center.
I have seen a lot of technology companies (especially startups) taking the technology-out approach—building yet another IoT platform or a real-time fog engine. But the successful ones take their horizontal technology and focus it on one customer segment and one customer business problem. They know that IoT is not one market, it is a collection of huge markets and even one use case in a specific segment can represent a multi-billion dollar total addressable market (TAM) opportunity. Let’s face it, there will be very few horizontal IoT platforms but zillions of vertical solutions based on horizontal capabilities.
Consider the transportation market—a segment rich with IoT possibilities. These opportunities are driven by the convergence of traditional technology and transportation industries, which is redefining business structures and value propositions across both industries. Today, IoT solutions such as predictive maintenance are helping transportation companies minimize equipment downtime and reduce maintenance costs. Implementing a predictive maintenance solution for a city bus system would be an example of the solution focused on real customer needs in a specific segment, yielding immediate benefits. In fact, predictive maintenance is one of the four fast-paths to IoT payback that I have identified to help you get started on the road to IoT success. Once you conquered this market segment and this use case, you can then easily move to address the same use case in an adjacent market, such as delivery vehicles or dump trucks in open pit mines. And then maybe, just maybe, you will have a shot at the IoT platform status.
There is another aspect of focusing on real customer problems that you need to consider: How do you distinguish a “science project” from a real, production-ready deployment? Here is a hard lesson learned by a team of contractors that failed to connect all the dots to make sure a project was “real”: They spent two years working on an initiative for an oil and gas company to install a Wi-Fi network in an existing refinery. The team overcame numerous obstacles, including obtaining permission to access the hazardous site, making Wi-Fi work reliably surrounded by metal structures, and integrating this new network with existing technologies. But the one thing they failed to ensure was whether or not the business units—the actual customers—had approved the project. They had not, and in the end, they chose not to take it live—a tremendous waste of time and money.
While there may have been many internal communication problems to blame for this situation, here are the key takeaways: 1) make sure that you are dealing with business decision makers with budget or the ability create budget; and 2) break down silos of all kinds—including the all-too-common disconnects among IT, operational technology, and the lines of business.
By starting with a real solution for a real customer problem, and by ensuring that your project is ready for production, with buy-in from all stakeholders, you can be well on your way to IoT success.
Next time, I’ll discuss the fourth ingredient in my IoT Recipe: prepare for a journey, not a one-time event. And in case you missed my earlier blogs on the Recipe for IoT Success, click these links to look back at the first and second ingredients.

Released on September 4, 2014
On March 17, 2014 the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission's Core Observatory flew over the East coast's last snow storm of the 2013-2014 winter season. This was also one of the first major snow storms observed by GPM shortly after it was launched on February 27, 2014.
The GPM Core Observatory carries two instruments that show the location and intensity of rain and snow, which defines a crucial part of the storm structure – and how it will behave. The GPM Microwave Imager sees through the tops of clouds to observe how much and where precipitation occurs, and the Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar observes precise details of precipitation in 3-dimensions.
For forecasters, GPM's microwave and radar data are part of the toolbox of satellite data, including other low Earth orbit and geostationary satellites, that they use to monitor tropical cyclones and hurricanes.
The addition of GPM data to the current suite of satellite data is timely. Its predecessor precipitation satellite, the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission, is 18 years into what was originally a three-year mission. GPM's new high-resolution microwave imager data and the unique radar data ensure that forecasters and modelers won't have a gap in coverage. GPM is a joint mission between NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. All GPM data products will be released to the public on September 4, 2104. Current and future data sets are available to registered users from NASA Goddard's Precipitation Processing Center website.
Visualization of GPM collecting data on March 17th, 2014 over the last major snow storm of winter 2013-2014 to hit the east coast. The animation begins with GPM/GMI collecting a swath of ground rain rate data across the region of interest. A volumetric dataset of rain rates (taken by DPR) then dissolves in to show the structure of the storm. A dissecting plane is then turned on to not only provide relative height and width information for the storm, but it then slices through the storm to reveal some of the storm's interior structure. Shades of green to red indicate areas of liquid precipitation. Shades of cyan to purple are areas of frozen precipitation. GPM is the first satellite to differentiate between liquid and frozen precipitation.

President Muhammadu Buhari has signed the Appropriation (Repeal and Amendment) Act, 2020 into law on Friday at the presidential villa, Abuja.
President Buhari stated that the 2020 budget of N10.8 trillion had to be revised because of the effect of coronavirus on the nation’s economy.
The amendment signed is N216 billion over the level of expenditure initially proposed in the 2020 Appropriation Act.
Recall that the National Assembly passed the revised budget last month.
It was initially passed in December 2019 but was returned to the legislature after the executive reworked it to reflect the current economic realities occasioned by the coronavirus pandemic.
Buhari asserted that ministries, departments and agencies will be given 50 per cent of their capital allocation by the end of the month.
Present at the signing ceremony were Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo; Senate President, Ahmed Lawan; Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila; Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha; and the Chief of Staff to the President, Ibrahim Gambari.
Others were the Ministers Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed; Minister of State Finance, Clement Agba, Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emiefile and Director General Budget, Ben Akabueze; Senator Babajide Omoworare, Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to President on National Assembly Matters (Senate) and Hon. Umar el-Yakub, on National Assembly Matters (House of Representatives).
While thanking the National Assembly for the prompt review and passage of the amendments to the 2020 Appropriation Act, President Buhari recalled that he signed the 2020 Appropriation Act into law on Tuesday, 17th December 2019.
He explained: “However, it became necessary to revise the Appropriation Act 2020 in response to recent developments, in particular, the COVID-19 Pandemic. Crude oil prices in the world market declined sharply from a high of $72.20 per barrel in January 2020 to below $20 per barrel in April 2020, and have since remained around $40 per barrel.
“Nigeria’s crude oil production quota has been reduced as part of the efforts of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC to strengthen the oil market. Global trade has generally been disrupted as almost all economies were locked down for protracted periods in the wake of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
“All these developments are plunging the global economy into recession, and Nigeria has not escaped the impact of this. In effect, the assumptions underlying the 2020 Appropriation Act are no longer sustainable.
“It is therefore imperative to adjust our expected revenues, considering the widespread disruptions in domestic and international economic activities due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, and the containment measures taken in response thereto.
“Understandably too, we needed to reallocate resources in the Appropriation (Repeal and Amendment) Act, 2020 to ensure effective implementation of required health and emergency measures, as well as to mitigate the negative socio-economic effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic.”
The president said the 2020 Amended Budget underscores his administration’s firm commitment to effectively contain the spread of COVID-19 and protect the lives and livelihood of our people.
He stated: “With these budget amendments, as well as our recently launched N2.3 trillion Stimulus Programme, we are well-positioned to safeguard the economy.”
President Buhari directed that efforts be made to ensure effective implementation of the budget to realise its laudable objectives, considering recent budget implementation challenges.
He also directed that all Ministers are to ensure that their Ministries, Departments and Agencies intensify capital project delivery efforts and fully cooperate with the Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning to achieve the laudable objectives of the Budget.
He affirmed that government has made some progress in the implementation of the Appropriation Act 2020, noting that as at 31st May 2020, the sum of N253.33 billion has been released for the implementation of capital projects.
Buhari revealed that the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning is in the process of effecting budgetary releases that will ensure that all Ministries, Departments and Agencies receive at least 50 per cent of their amended capital budgets by the end of this month.
He further stated: “The Appropriation (Repeal and Amendment) Act, 2020 that I have just signed into law provides for aggregate expenditures of N10.81 trillion, which is an increase of N216 billion over the level of expenditure initially proposed in the 2020 Appropriation Act.”
The president thanked all Nigerians for “their understanding and unflinching support, especially during these difficult times.” | <urn:uuid:4477e499-fd86-4803-92ec-af870bf2dbc6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://idealposts.com/2020/07/10/buhari-signs-n10-8trn-2020-revised-budget/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570651.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807150925-20220807180925-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.957012 | 1,003 | 1.609375 | 2 |
The European Union may have missed the opportunity to purchase an additional 200 million doses of the Corona vaccine from Pfizer and Germany’s BioNTech. She writes the German magazine Der Spiegel. The European Union ordered 300 million doses of that vaccine, but had the option of ordering 500 million.
Although EU countries may eventually start vaccination, there is much criticism about this late start date. Many other countries – such as the United States, United Kingdom and Israel – have been vaccinating people against the corona virus for some time.
The German magazine Der Spiegel states that Germany, and is far behind other parts of the world due to the expansion of the rest of the European Union. In doing so, they not only look at the late start date, but especially the potential shortages in the future. The European Union appears to order far fewer vaccines than other countries.
Pfizer / BioNTech
The most obvious conclusion is that the European Union may have refused to order additional doses of the Corona vaccine from Pfizer / BioNechech. Today there are 200 million of these vaccines for the European Union, with the latter having the option to produce 100 million. However, according to a source close to the talks, the European Union had a chance to order 500 million doses. However, that proposal has not been accepted.
The decision not to give more vaccines than Pfizer / BioNTech in November is a notable one. At that time, that vaccine was already able to produce very good results from tests and promised to become one of the fastest and most reliable corona vaccine.
However, the European Union ordered only 300 million doses of the Corona vaccine from the French company Sanofi. Therefore France did not want to order more from the German company BioNTech. Unfortunately, Sanofi vaccines will not be able to help us in the near future. The company recently announced that there were development problems that prevented their vaccine from being expected before the end of the year.
A similar story can be heard about the Corona vaccine of Modern. The vaccine will be the second to be approved in the European Union in January. Nevertheless, only 80 million of these doses will be available throughout Europe, with an additional option for an additional 80 million at a later date. However, according to Modern CEO Stephen Bansell, the company offered 300 million doses. That proposal was also rejected.
Hope for AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson
Many people from all over Europe expect to be able to vaccinate quickly, currently focusing on two new vaccines: AstraZeneca and Janssen Pharmacutica / Johnson & Johnson. The vaccine from Belgium’s Jansen Firmasutica is on its way to receiving approval around March. The European Union ordered 200 million doses for 200 million doses, with another option.
In contrast, AstraZeneca’s vaccine in association with the Austrian University is highly questionable. Many experts have questions about the results of their tests, leaving it uncertain whether this vaccine will be approved soon. However, it is precisely this vaccine that the European Union ordered the highest dose: 400 million. At 1.78 Euros per dose, it was the cheapest ever.
Finally, there is also the Corona vaccine from the German Curevac, of which the European Union ordered 225 million doses. However, that vaccine will not be available even before summer.

Mumbai is a city which never sleeps, It is the city of dreams. There are many other names for our city but the only thing that spoils the charm of the city is the amount of garbage that we throw on the roads, dump in the sewers. People from all backgrounds in Mumbai dump their garbage, something which is slowly killing our city. On this note, Swachhalay- an UN advocacy campaign along with Humans of Bombay & Mumbai Youth Forum will be organizing a #Walk2Swachhata parade from the Galaxy Apartments, Bandra West, Mumbai at 8.30am followed by massive clean up drive at Bandra Railway Station on the 28th of October.
We want to start initially with Bandra and then slowly move ahead with other areas. Since Bandra is considered to be the “Queen Of Suburbs”, we want to highlight those areas in Bandra that are in need of attention and have the scope of improvement. The objective of this event is to spread awareness and mobilize resources to take actions for improving access to public sanitation, by targeting the most vulnerable communities. The event will be divided into two aspects:
1. ‘Walk2Swachhata’ (8.30am to 10am) – It will be a procession, where young citizens from all walks of life will partake in a silent walk towards Bandra Station, with placards and banners. The purpose of this march is to mobilize communities to collaboratively redeem their pledge to a Swachh Bharat. The walk will last for 45 minutes, taking the Hill Road route. To ensure safety, Mumbai Police will be accompanying the group of volunteers during this event.
2. ‘Cleanliness Drive (10.30am – 1:30pm): Volunteers will take part in a massive Cleanliness drive at Bandra Station, in partnership with local residents and BMC.
Please join Swachhalay, Mumbai Youth Forum & Humans of Bombay on Saturday, 28th October from 8:30am for the #SwachhtaMission at Bandra Station and have the chance be part of this extraordinary journey! Assembly point is at Galaxy Apartments, Bandstand from where the campaign will be launched by #Walk2Swachhta followed by a massive Cleanliness Drive.

In a place of Africa (in German , Nirgendwo in Afrika ) is a German epic filmof 2001 , directed by Caroline Link and based on the autobiographical novel of the same name, written by Stefanie Zweig . It tells the story of a Jewish familyemigrating to Kenya during World War II to escape persecution in Nazi Germany and farm a farm. The film won the Oscar for best foreign film in 2002 .
In 1938 , the Redlich family fled to Kenya from Leobschütz (in Silesia , Nazi Germany ) to escape the growing persecution of Jews by the Nazis . Walter, a former lawyer, finds himself worked as a farm manager and sends for his family. His wife Jettel has problems adjusting to life in Africa , although his daughter Regina adapts quickly to her new environment, easily learning the language of the country and showing interest in the local culture. Soon, Regina befriends the farm cook, Owuor.
When World War II broke out , the British gathered all German citizens and arrested them, whether Jews or Gentiles , separating men from women. The Redlich marriage is beginning to deteriorate. Jettel sleeps with a British soldier who spoke German to secure work and a home for the family, but both Regina and Walter learn of this fact. Walter decides to join the British Army and wants Jettel to go to Nairobi with him, but she refuses and stays on the farm with Owuor. Regina is sent to an English boarding school, where she remains for years, only returning from time to time during the harvest season. During this time, Jettel and Süsskind start a relationship.
Walter returns from the war and says that the policy of the British Army is to send all the soldiers with their families home. Jettel refuses to go with him, saying that the farm needs it. Finally, their relationship improves and Jettel allows him to decide to Walter if they leave or not. Walter is scheduled to take the post of judge in postwar Germany . The last scene shows Walter, Regina and Jettel traveling on an African train; When the train stops, an African woman offers Jettel a banana, so she realizes how much she cares about Africa.

Investigators from Denmark at Aarhus University studied the long-term risk of epilepsy, psychiatric disorders, and mortality among children with recurrent febrile seizures. This was a population-based cohort study that used data from the Danish civil registration system. Children born in Denmark between 1977 and 2011 were included. From a cohort of 2,103,232 children, 75,593 children (3.6%) diagnosed with febrile seizures were identified. The risk of febrile seizures peaked at age 16 months, and 90.9% had their first febrile seizure before age three years. History of recurrent febrile seizures appeared to be associated with a risk of epilepsy and psychiatric disorders, but only individuals who later developed epilepsy had an increased risk of mortality. The cumulative risk of recurrent febrile seizures was 22.7% after the first febrile seizure, 35.6% after the second, and 43.5% following the third. The 30-year cumulative incidence of epilepsy increased with the number of hospital admissions for febrile seizures, and it was 2.2% at birth, 6.4% after the first febrile seizure, 10.8% after the second, and 15.8% following the third. The 30-year risk of a psychiatric disorder was 17.2%. After the first febrile seizure, the risk increased to 21.4%, 25% after two or more admissions with febrile seizures, and 29.1% after three or more. Mortality increased with the number of hospital admissions associated with febrile seizures, which was likely explained by a subsequent diagnosis of epilepsy.
COMMENTARY. Febrile seizures are common, affecting 2-5% of children six months to 5 years of age. Several retrospective and prospective studies suggest that 2-7% of children with febrile seizures will later develop epilepsy . Recognized risk factors for epilepsy after febrile seizures are complex features (focality, status epilepticus), abnormal developmental history, and a family history of epilepsy . A prospective study of 560 children with febrile seizures showed that recurrent febrile seizures increased the risk of epilepsy 10-fold, though focality was the highest risk factor . Dreier et al.'s results indicate that recurrent febrile seizures increase the risk for subsequent epilepsy, with the authors showing a cumulative effect based on the number of seizures .
Another interesting finding is the association with recurrent febrile seizures and psychiatric disorders; reported previously by the same authors. While the initial analysis in this paper did not detail the types of psychiatric disorders, a subsequent letter to the editor showed the most common psychiatric diagnoses were anxiety, mood, attention-deficit/hyperactivity, and personality disorders .
The increased risk of epilepsy in this study is supported by a recent, large retrospective study that found an 18-fold increased incidence of epilepsy in children with recurrent febrile seizure admissions in Taiwan . However, both studies have similar limitations by relying on hospital admissions and lacking classification between simple and complex febrile seizures. Many patients with simple febrile seizures could have been missed in this study, as these children are not likely to require admission.
Nevertheless, the current study adds important prognostic information regarding recurrent febrile seizures and the long-term risk of epilepsy, neuropsychiatric outcomes, and mortality.
The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.

We recently connected with Terrance Hill and have shared our conversation below.
Terrance, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love for you to start by sharing your thoughts about the pros and cons of family businesses.
Since the inception of the Great Slave Trade in 1619, there has been a huge gap in Wealth Development between African Americans and other races in the USA. The concept of Families building Generational Wealth should be everyone’s ultimate goal. Historically, black-owned companies, like Madam C.J. Walker’s hair-care line and the businesses that formed Tulsa, Oklahoma’s Black Wall Street, were developed in direct response to racial discrimination. “These segregation patterns then created market opportunities for black entrepreneurs to step in, make money and meet the demands of the black community,” says Mehrsa Baradaran, author of The Color of Money: Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap. With few work opportunities and high job instability, many black pioneers took matters into their own hands, building small enterprises that served and employed fellow African-Americans. According to Inc. Magazine below are the 10 things to consider when starting a Family Business: 1. All the traditional rules of business still apply
2. It WILL affect your relationship.
3. Someone has to be in charge.
4. Just because it’s your dream doesn’t mean it’s theirs.
5. Traditional roles (CEO, CFO, COO, etc.) may have loose or unclear boundaries.
6. The learning curve may be huge.
7. You will need time off.
8. Your existing baggage will be magnified in times of stress.
9. Mutual respect and clear communication are critical.
10. It will be fun… and it will also be hard.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
First to tell you a little bit about myself and the company I have started. I learned the art of American Regional BBQ from my dad and uncle at the age of 10. Later I trained at the Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School and worked at several top restaurants from Dallas, Texas to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 2010 I became a Certified Judge for the Kansas City BBQ Society judging BBQ competitions all around the USA. I have consulted numerous BBQ and other restaurant establishments in creating that one-of-a-kind flavor from Toronto, ON to Dallas, Texas., as well as hosted Pitmaster Bootcamp classes around the country teaching the Art of Authentic Southern BBQ. For The Southern Gentleman’s Table menu, I drew on my family’s Southern African-American heritage to create dishes that have won prizes at cooking competitions and received rave reviews in our taste testing. Together we have come up with a fresh concept, a popular menu, and an ambitious but achievable plan to build it into a thriving new business.
I am most proud of the fact that I have taken a God-Given gift and tried to perfect it every day I have breath in my lungs and I have fun doing it. When you are doing what you love and operating in your purpose most days it doesn’t feel like work at all
Where do you think you get most of your clients from?
Even in 2022 Word of mouth is still the most effective way in building your business. You have to combine that with a good Social Media Strategy, but scheduling calls every day to new potential customers and providing samples of your business products still draws people towards your business.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
Every business needs to have a “Social Marketing Strategy”. A social marketing strategy gives you a big-picture view of your social media marketing goals and how you can best achieve those outcomes. I had to learn how to create a Content Calendar, which tells me based on the statistics the optimal engagement times when to create a Social Media Post. For instance, on Mondays, the Stats day at 11:00 AM is the most effective time to create an Instagram Post, and 9 AM for TikTok. Break down your Social Marketing Strategy into 7 areas:
1. Goals: The outcomes you want from your efforts and how you’ll measure them.
2. Target audiences: Researching and defining your easiest customers.
3. Metrics: Creating a data-driven marketing strategy.
4. Content mix: Recurring ideas or post types to include in your social media programming.
5. Channels: The social networks you want to dedicate your time to and what you’ll use them for.
6. Infrastructure: Setting up the process and tools to execute your strategy efficiently.
7. Improvements: Adapting and innovating on your progress during the year.

According to a study of tax revenues worldwide by the accountants UHY Hacker Young tax receipts in the UK dropped by almost £68bn during the pandemic. While this underlines why the Chancellor of the Exchequer is pressing ahead with a 1.25% increase in National Insurance in April it seems to ignore that inflation in the UK is reaching a 30 year high, writes David Little, a Partner in our Corporate and Commercial department.
According to Accountancy Today, reported here, UHY’s study showed that globally 26 out of 30 countries suffered from a hit to tax revenues in 2021.
UK tax receipts fell by over £67.9bn in real terms to £549.6bn during the pandemic, from £618bn in 2020. UHY said the fall in tax revenue in the UK worked out at 11%, a far faster rate than the global average of 4%. The study showed tax revenues fell by £377bn in real terms to £8.83tn down from £9.13tn the year before.
The firm said the fall in tax revenues is due to the Covid-19 pandemic, as governments around the world cut taxes for individuals and businesses in an effort to boost their economies. In addition, global tax revenues were hit by a fall in tax on corporate profits and a reduction in transactions that are subject to tax (e.g. VAT on purchases and tax on property transactions).
Interestingly, especially given the current developments on the Ukraine border which will doubtless prove expensive in financial resources at least, Russia’s tax receipts also fell 11% to £223bn.
The Chancellor’s increase in National Insurance is expected to raise to raise £17bn a year. Corporation tax is also set to increase from April 2023 to 25% up from 19% for companies with profits over £50,000. With the UK’s national debt having risen from £1.88tn to £2.22tn.
Germany and China have both elected to boost their economies by lowering taxes on corporation’s profits. This seems eminently more sensible to me. Just when the UK needs entrepreneurialism and investment to re-emerge after Covid taxing success doesn’t seem the way to go.
China has reduced Corporate Income Tax for small and micro enterprises with a tax income below RMB 1 million, from 25% to 5% in 2020. In 2021, it announced this rate would be cut even further to 2.5%.
Quoted by Accountancy Today, Andrew Snowdon, Head of Tax at UHY Hacker Young said: “While the UK economy suffered a significant fall in its tax revenues, many businesses would prefer that this funding gap is dealt with gradually rather than hitting businesses and consumers with major new tax increases.
“There’s a fine balancing act between keeping the National Debt under control through a sensible tax policy and maintaining consumer spending by avoiding tax increases that make the consumer feel noticeably less well well-off. The increases in National Insurance contributions are going to be a major test both for consumers and employers.”
There will clearly be a need for Finance Ministers world-wide to balance their books at some time. That is the responsible course. But it doesn’t feel now is the right time to do it, to me. The Bank of England has already put up interest rates twice within three months, having kept them at 0.25% for three years. The impact of that, and probable further increases, have yet to show their effect.
There’s already pressure on taxpayers. Having been so sure footed through the pandemic I think the Chancellor has called this one wrong.

Planning law in the UK allowing energy storage projects over 50MW has officially changed, allowing much bigger projects to come online without going through the national planning process.
In July, ministers passed secondary legislation that will allow battery storage to bypass the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) process in Britain. This means storage projects above 50MW in England and 350MW in Wales to proceed without approval through the national planning regime.
The change to the Infrastructure Planning (Electricity Storage Facilities) Order 2020 has now officially passed into law, as it was made on 4 November and is set to come into force on 2 December.
Welcoming the news, Regen’s policy lead Madeleine Greenhalgh wrote on LinkedIn: “The legislation which takes storage out of the national planning regime (NSIP for those in the know) has now been made into law! So from 2nd December, storage over 50MW will go through the local planning regime.
“A great success for the industry and something the ESN (Electricity Storage Network) has been pushing for some years. Thanks to those at BEIS who've put in a lot of effort to make this happen!”
The changes to the battery legislature were first announced in October 2019 when BEIS revealed that it would amend the planning legislation as a result of the responses to a consultation in January of that year.
There is currently more than 13.5GW of battery storage projects in the pipeline, according to Solar Media’s UK Battery Storage Project Database Report. There is 1.3GW ready to build, 5.7GW with planning permission and a further 6.5GW proposed. | <urn:uuid:53a5e8fa-f162-4411-ab08-330560080708> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.solarpowerportal.co.uk/news/battery_storage_legislation_officially_changes_allowing_projects_over_50mw | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573908.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20220820043108-20220820073108-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.965659 | 341 | 1.65625 | 2 |
The focus, on this occasion, is the second phase of the Somme campaign which began on July 18, and ended on September 14. It comprised attacks at Fromelles on the Aubers Ridge (July 19); on High Wood (July 20 to 25); and the Battles of Delville Wood (July 15 to September 3); Pozières (July 23 to September 3); Guillemont (September 3 to 6); and Ginchy (September 9).
There would be another six battles in the third phase before the campaign was finally brought to a close on November 18.
The first phase of the Somme campaign (the Battle of Albert between July 1 and 13, including the attack on the Gommecourt Salient on July 1, and the Battle of Bazentin, July 14 to 17, ended with the British in possession of the Bazentin Ridge, Contalmaison and Mametz Wood. There was never any question of shutting down the offensive notwithstanding the disaster on July 1, when 19,240 men were killed and 38,500 wounded. It was politically impossible given that the French were still under heavy pressure at Verdun. In truth, British casualties were dwarfed in comparison to those the French had sustained since the beginning of the war.
The second phase of the campaign was marked by a series of smaller attacks while the British Army sought to re-organise, re-equip and re-align itself ready for another major ‘push’. In his book, Forgotten Victory: The First World War Myths and Realities, Professor Gary Sheffield, one of today’s most prominent military historians, provides an excellent summary of this period:
‘The story of the two months from 15 July to 14 September is one of struggles of awesome ferocity for individual objectives. The Germans continued to fight for Delville Wood after most of it was captured on 27 July, and it was not finally cleared... for another month. Elsewhere division after division attacked, painfully advancing the British line a few hundred yards. Not only was artillery mishandled but infantry also continued to attack in penny-packets on narrow fronts... Well might the British official historian refer to the ‘slow and costly advance throughout July and August’.’
In his book, The 23rd Division 1914-1919, Lieutenant-Colonel H. R. Sandilands, CMG, DSO (a Northumberland Fusiliers’ Regiment officer) wrote: ‘At this period the main British effort was being made against Longueval and Delville Wood and southward of these points, in order to straighten out the salient caused by the sharp southerly bend in the line which occurred at Longueval. Further advance west of Longueval was not contemplated for the present, but it was necessary to maintain pressure all along the line to prevent the enemy reinforcing the front against our main offensive. In carrying out the action necessary to this it would be possible to secure points of tactical importance to future operations.’
Sandilands’ following remarks probably applied equally to all British Army formations present in the Somme sector at that time: ‘In reading of the events in which troops of the Division were concerned in the next few weeks, it should be borne in mind that operations, which in a history of war on the Western Front represented a mere nibbling process, were seen in a different perspective by those who took part in a ‘nibble’. Such ‘nibbles’ in a war of lesser magnitude would have been classed as grand battles...’
Using 23rd Division as a typical example of what most divisions will have experienced, during July casualties amounted to 212 officers and 4,461 other ranks killed and wounded, and 28 officers and 709 other ranks sick. At full strength a division would have numbered about 18,000 men (12,000 infantry) but few would have been at full strength for any length of time. Reinforcements for the Division during the same period totalled only 138 officers and 2,862 other ranks. Even if formations were taken up to establishment strength in numbers, they were not immediately efficient and reliable and much training was needed before they were.
One reason previously highlighted for the failure of the July 1 attacks was the total inadequacy in the number of artillery pieces available to crush complex defensive systems over a wide and deep front. In preparation for those attacks, the Royal Artillery was tasked to shell 22,000 yards of front and 300,000 yards of trenches lying in support. For the later attack on the Bazentin Ridge, which started on July 14, comparative figures were 6,000 and 12,000 yards, showing that lessons were immediately learned about the need for formidable concentration of firepower.
Unfortunately, subsequent operations largely ignored that particular lesson and allowed artillery to split its fire between different targets rather concentrating it – an exception was the attack on Delville Wood, on July 27, which with heavy artillery support allowed most of the Wood to be secured and held. As a result, losses during the second phase of the Somme campaign amounted to about 100,000 casualties killed and wounded for gains of approximately 5.5 square miles. The proportion of casualties to ground gained was similar to that of July 1.
The earlier article (published in the June 23 and 30 editions of the Gazette) mentioned that more than 20 local families lost two or more sons during the war. Although the Roll of Honour here is shorter than those for the first and third phases of the campaign, another three casualties are included who were one of two or more sons lost by local families.
Cuthbert and Catherine Turnbull lost three sons, two in France and one at Naval School. Private Norman Turnbull is one of 72,195 missing British and South African officers and men who died in the Battles of the Somme between 1915 and 1918, with no known grave and commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial. He’s also commemorated locally at the Dovecote Centre, Amble. His 20-years old brother, Robert Henry, had been killed less than three months earlier, on April 15, 1916, while serving with the Royal Garrison Artillery, 15th Siege Battery – he is buried at Doullens Communal Cemetery Extension No.1. A 17-year-old brother, James, later died, on February 10, 1918, when training as a telegraphist at HMS Ganges and he is buried at Shotley (St Mary) Churchyard, Suffolk.
Lance Corporal Edward Walter Egdell enlisted at Newcastle and joined the 1st Battalion of the Cameronian Regiment (Scottish Rifles). He was 35 when he was killed in action, on July 20. Born at Alnwick, the son of Robert and Thomisine Blyth Egdell, of Kirk’s Buildings, New Row, Alnwick, his parents were to lose a second son also serving with the 1st Battalion of the Cameronian Regiment when Private David James Blyth Egdell, 25, was killed in action on April 13, 1918. Both are commemorated on Alnwick War Memorial. Edward Walter Edgell’s name is on the Thiepval Memorial while his younger brother’s name appears on the Ploegsteert Memorial (Berks Cemetery Extension).
The third family to share such grievous loss was that of Archibald and Elizabeth Inglis, of 21 Howick Street, Alnwick. Two of their sons are commemorated on the Alnwick War Memorial. Andrew, 23, was killed on July 21, 1916, while serving with the King’s Own Scottish Borderers, 2nd Battalion. His brother, James, was killed the following year, on April 9, 1917. James was 24, so it’s possible the brothers were twins but this possibility has yet to be investigated. Andrew’s name is another on the Thiepval Memorial and James is buried at Tilloy British Cemetery, Tilloy-Les- Mofflaines.
Private Robert Murray Rutherford enlisted at Wooler and served with the Northumberland Fusiliers, 11th (Service) Battalion. He died on July 30, 1916, of wounds received and his grave is at Etaples Military Cemetery, which suggests he must have been wounded sometime beforehand and passed along the medical treatment chain to reach Etaples which, from a small town with a population of 5,000 before the war, became a vast Allied military camp and then a giant ‘hospital city’. Wounded soldiers were consequently often sent to Etaples to recover or en route for Britain. Aside from its reputation for medical facilities, Etaples also hosted a vast military cemetery, containing about 12,000 graves.
Rutherford was 22 when he died. According to Ancestry.co.uk, he was born at Chalton, Hampshire, but this is almost certainly mistaken given that his parents, Robert and Margaret Ann Rutherford, lived at Chatton, Northumberland. He is commemorated on the Memorial Cross there.
Private George Young Thompson enlisted at Newcastle. He landed in France on December 31, 1915, as a member of the 6th Battalion, King’s Own Scottish Borderers, which was part of 9th Division. While his unit successfully took Bernafray Wood on the second day of the Battle of Albert, George is likely to have received his serious wounds in the subsequent battle for the Bazentin Ridge, probably during the ferocious dawn attack on the Longueval Redoubt.
Repatriated to England, George was sent to a military hospital in Liverpool for further treatment, but succumbed to his injuries, dying on August 4, 1916, exactly two years after the war began.
Thompson was born about 1896 at Horncliffe, Northumberland, the son of Thomas Y Thompson (born 1866 at Eglingham) and his wife Jane Patterson Thompson (née Moore; born 1868 at Spittal). According to the 1901 Census, the family lived in Mr Gauld’s garden house at Horncliffe. Thomas was a market gardener assisted by 14-year-old James Herbertson from Newcastle. George had two younger sisters, Maggie (born 1897) and Janet (born 1900).
Tragedy hit the family one year later when, first, George’s six-month-old brother, Thomas Moore, died on January 5, 1902, shortly followed by the death of his father, just 36, on January 28.
The 1911 Census records Jane, now widowed, as a shop keeper and living at 13 West Street, Spittal, with her two daughters, both of whom were still at school. George Young Thompson, 15, was working as a farm labourer at Lemmington Cottages and living with farmer Thomas Stephenson.
Thompson was 21 when he died. He is buried at Norham (St Cuthbert’s) Churchyard, and he’s also commemorated on St Bartholomew’s Church, Whittingham, Roll of Honour and on a Tablet in St John the Baptist Church, Edlingham.
Rifleman Mark Telford Turnbull re-enlisted at Newcastle. It is unclear precisely when he did so, but 47 images of his service records are available via Ancestry.co.uk and these show him to have been wounded in action on October 27, 1914, admitted to a hospital at Boulogne on November 1, 1914, before being transferred to England the following day.
Turnbull had first enlisted on September 25, 1906. His early posting is indecipherable, but he served at Malta in 1909/10 and in India from November 12, 1910, until discharged in 1912.
On recovering from his wounds, Turnbull was posted to the King’s Royal Rifle Corp 5th (Reserve) Battalion, on February 7, 1915, then to the regiment’s 9th (Service) Battalion on October 19, 1915. He embarked for France on October 17, 1915. He was reported missing then killed in action on August 24, 1916.
Turnbull, who was born at Belford, was one of eight children of the late Mark and Elizabeth Turnbull, of 22 Northbourne Avenue, Morpeth. He had three brothers – James William; Nicholas Alfred; and George – and four sisters – Elizabeth; Jane Ellen; Jessie; and Catherine Ann.
He was living at Morpeth when he re-enlisted. His name is on the Thiepval Memorial. He was awarded the 1914 Star in addition to the British War and Victory Medals.
The Northumberland Fusiliers’ 18th (Service) Battalion (1st Tyneside Pioneers) formed part of 34th Division which, on August 15, was relieved by 1st Division and moved away from the Somme battlefields to Armentières.
Ten days later the Division’s 103rd Brigade returned to the Somme area for attachment to 15th Division, which was about to take part in the big offensive of September 15, prior to which it was necessary to give troops a rest and allow for suitable training, so 103rd Brigade was called on to hold the divisional front for about 12 days. As the Brigade was very short of trained men, the Northumberland Fusiliers’ 18th (Service) Battalion was sent along with it.
Both units spent an uncomfortable fortnight holding the line just in front of Martinpuich, in what were described in the divisional history as very unsavoury trenches and under a considerable amount of shell fire.
It was towards the end of this period that Lance Corporal William Potts and Private John Thomas Douglas were killed, respectively on September 8 and 10. Both are buried at Contalmaison Château Cemetery.
15th Division, refreshed by their rest, took over the line again on September 12 and carried all its objectives on September 15, duly supported once more by 34th Division’s attached units.

Short story writing can feel like trying to balance on a tight rope. You have to find that perfect balance between several different storytelling elements while also making sure everything is clear, understandable, and engaging for readers. And, if just one of these things is out of place, the whole thing comes crashing down. We’ve discussed previously how difficult short story writing can be. Not only that, but short story readers are an entirely different audience than novel readers. Although those who enjoy short stories come in a variety of different ages, they each come in with similar expectations in terms of what they’re looking for. What are short story readers looking for in your next collection?
Even though you’re working with a fraction of the page length and word count that novelists work with, short story readers want to see some character arc- at least from your protagonist. If you’re including, let’s say, a group of friends in your short story, your audience won’t be expecting character arc from every single member of the group. That would be a ridiculous expectation for a 30-page story. Simply hone in on your protagonist’s story and brainstorm ways to make sure they’ve changed by the end of the story. Remember, your short story should be selected to take place during a time of character growth for your protagonist. Focus on how the events of the story will change your protagonist as a person- for better or worse.
As few characters as possible
Because your page length is very limited and there’s a lot that needs to happen, you’ll only be shooting yourself in the foot by trying to include dozens of characters. You won’t be able to fully realize your protagonist’s development and the plot of the story if you’re focusing on establishing all of these different characters and their unique traits. Not only that, but your readers will be frustrated. Even in a novel, it’s difficult to have several characters introduced at once- let alone in a story less than 1/4 the size.
It may not happen often, but have you ever watched a commercial or music video and found yourself bursting into tears? Even though you’ve been viewing this tiny story or advertisement for a mere few minutes, what you watched was so simple and touching with its own little story. You leave surprised something so short could impact you so much emotionally. That’s exactly how your short story should feel. All of the best short stories, similarly to these mediums, hone in on the emotional core of an experience and, because they’re short and can get right to the point, have a way of being extremely touching. Stories like Why the Sky Turns Red When the Sun Goes Down and Delicate Edible Birds are just a few of hundreds of stories to use as examples of how to do this well.
Whereas novel writers can touch on several themes or topics throughout their stories, short story writers are encouraged to hone in on one and focus on dissecting it. And it can’t be a general idea like simply love/relationships, politics, or war- hone in on a specific aspect of these big ideas. For example, Jhumpa Lahiri’s A Temporary Matter focuses on the relationship between a couple who suffered a miscarriage and how it affects their relationship.
Less exposition, more action/imagery
Though novel writing will inevitably involve some exposition, in a short story you should include as little as possible. Focus on showing the details of your character’s internal state and their feelings through setting, observations that the character makes, objects they see, people they interact with, and body language. For example, let’s say your protagonist’s dilemma is trying to decide whether they want to have kids. Maybe throughout the story, as they maneuver through life, they observe different kid/parent interactions- some sweet, some sad, some annoying. This way we aren’t being told how the protagonist feels, we get to see them noticing things and their body language or reactions can tell us how they’re feeling about what they’re observing. | <urn:uuid:b5d98fdf-9a42-43b3-a817-cc70bc9a1686> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.dorrancepublishing.com/writing-for-your-audience-short-stories/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570651.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807150925-20220807180925-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.959363 | 865 | 2.09375 | 2 |
Used coffee pods transformed into brew-tiful art
Tens of billions of single-use coffee capsules or “pods” are produced globally every year. Of these, a significant number end up in landfill sites. The complexity of coffee pod packaging – usually a hybrid of plastic, aluminium and organic material (the coffee grounds) – as well as their small size, make them difficult to process in municipal recycling facilities.
As a result, companies worldwide are tackling this massive garbage problem with more eco-friendly designs and recycling solutions. For example, compostable pods made from corn starch or sugar cane are a sustainable alternative for coffee lovers eager to reduce their carbon footprint.
A group of grade 9 and 10 students at ISD have discovered another creative solution underway in the Philippines, which they have been inspired to support.
Artisans of Hope, an initiative of the NVC Foundation in the Philippines, is seeing thousands of used coffee pod containers resurrected as exquisite artisanal pieces, which are sold to support development projects in local, disadvantaged communities.
As part of their MYP Service as Action (SasA), Anna, Barbora, Jeongmin, Mia, and Ryan are collecting, cleaning, and sending boxes of used coffee pods to the Philippines. By doing so, they are helping these remarkable artists to transform waste for the benefit of humanity.
The students have invited the entire school community to donate their used pods and are spending their spare time scooping out the grounds and salvaging the rainbow remains.
“I feel like we’ve already cleaned hundreds,” Jeongmin says, “but it’s for a great cause.”
The students explain that they researched the organisation and were impressed by the variety and quality of what could be made from used pods – everything from jewellery and Christmas decorations, to large mosaics and furniture.
“Instead of these ending up in landfill or in the ocean, they’re being used to create something special,” Ryan explains.
“We’ll continue this until the end of the school year.”
A catalogue of the beautiful creations of Artisans of Hope is available here. | <urn:uuid:befa70db-2435-4a34-97af-119522b81ba3> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.isdedu.de/news/coffee-pods/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570651.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807150925-20220807180925-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.954903 | 449 | 2.484375 | 2 |

Can my child inherit my 401k?
You must name a primary beneficiary and at least one contingent beneficiary (to whom assets will pass if the primary beneficiary has already died). Beneficiary designations for 401(k)s override the contents of a will. Children who are still minors cannot inherit as direct beneficiaries.
Can a spouse be a contingent beneficiary?
Concerning your benefits, a contingent beneficiary is someone who becomes the beneficiary if your primary choice is unable to fulfill the role. For example, you might choose your spouse as your primary beneficiary at the time that you prepare your estate, and then name your child as the contingent beneficiary.
Can the same person be a primary and contingent beneficiary?

How can I leave money to my son but not his wife?
SET UP A TRUST One of the easiest ways to shield your assets is to pass them to your child through a trust. The trust can be created today if you want to give money to your child now, or it can be created in your will and go into effect after you are gone.
Do you need a contingent beneficiary?
Do I Need a Contingent Beneficiary? Yes. It’s smart to always name a contingent beneficiary. Without this designation, should your primary beneficiary be unable to accept assets passed to them for any reason at all, proceeds would then go back to the estate and end up in the often lengthy and costly process of probate.
How do contingent beneficiaries work with multiple primary beneficiaries?
For policies with multiple primary beneficiaries, the contingent beneficiary or beneficiaries will likely only receive the death benefit if none of the primary beneficiaries are reachable. If this happens to be the case, each contingent beneficiary will receive their designated portion of the death benefit.
Can you have a contingent beneficiary on a bank account?
A contingent beneficiary is a person or entity (such as a charity) that you designate to receive an asset upon your death if the primary beneficiary has died before you. A contingent beneficiary can also come into play if the primary beneficiary can’t be located or refuses to accept the asset.
What if a beneficiary dies before receiving his inheritance?
When a beneficiary dies after the deceased but before the estate is settled the deceased beneficiary estate will be entitled to the bequest. A survivorship period traditionally only applies when two individuals are in a simultaneous event, like a car accident.
Can you name a trust as a contingent beneficiary?
To leave property to your living trust, name your trust as beneficiary for that property, using the trustee’s name and the name of the trust. For example: John Doe as trustee of the John Doe Living Trust, dated January 1, 20xx.
Does 401k go to beneficiary?
Like we mentioned earlier, your 401(k) account is a non-probate asset. This means it’s able to skip probate and go directly to your beneficiary but only if you designate one.
Who should be your contingent beneficiary?
In theory, any adult in your life can be named a contingent beneficiary, be they extended family, friends, co-workers and much more. Estates can also be named a beneficiary. You can even, if you want to give your money away after your passing, name a charity or nonprofit organization as a beneficiary.
Should I make my kids contingent beneficiaries?
Your clients should not name their minor children as direct or contingent beneficiaries, since a life insurance company can’t pay out proceeds directly to children until the children reach the age of majority, typically 18 or 21, depending on state law.

K has a life insurance policy where her husband is the beneficiary and her daughter is the contingent beneficiary.
Can a contingent beneficiary be irrevocable?
A solution for this is a contingent beneficiary who would receive the funds if the named beneficiary dies first. A policy owner may name their spouse as an irrevocable beneficiary, with a charity as a contingent beneficiary in the event of the spouse’s death.
What happens if the owner of a life insurance policy dies before the insured?
A life insurance policy is no different. If the owner and the insured are two different people and the owner dies first, the policy ownership has to pass to a successor owner until the death of the insured results in the proceeds being paid to a beneficiary. | <urn:uuid:bb0f7007-d909-4ac0-80b1-f544f069262c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://theblogy.com/what-is-a-contingent-beneficiary/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573029.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817153027-20220817183027-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.942435 | 1,467 | 2.015625 | 2 |

By JAMES APA GUMUNO
HIGHLANDS and Momase regional coordinator for democratic governance, Francis Kup says goods and services will only reach people if the councillors come up with ward development plans.
Democratic governance is a programme funded by AusAID to deliver basic services to the people in the country.
Mr Kup said the failure of goods and services to reach the people were due to the councillors.
“A small crowd gathered at Warakar last Friday in the Banz district during a grant agreement signing between AusAID and the Jiwaka people for road maintenance.
“Many councillors are illiterate and don’t know how to come up with their own ward development plan for their respective local level government councils, the district and provincial plan.
“Councillors are the third arm of the Government but since many don’t know how to draw up ward developments plans and seek funding from their local MPs, there are hardly any services reaching the people,” he said.
Mr Kup said the National Government had allocated plenty of money under various programmes like the district service improvement programme (DSIP), district road improvement programme, rehabilitation education sector improvement, council grants and others.
“There is money to bring goods and services to the people but there are no ward development plans. MPs normally engaged consultants to draw up district plans without realising the real needs of the people in every council ward,” he said.
He said the people knew the amount given to their MPs for DSIP but did not know where the money went to. | <urn:uuid:40927e5c-dafe-44c9-ba3d-5ddcd1af8d9b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.thenational.com.pg/councillors-blamed-for-lack-of-services/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573029.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817153027-20220817183027-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.966493 | 329 | 1.585938 | 2 |
People have always told you that you have a great mind for business, but what do they mean by that? Do they mean that you carefully weigh risks and opportunity costs before you decide to commit money for a project? Do they mean that you are unusually observant about people’s buying preferences and therefore can easily predict which products or marketing strategies will be a success with your target market? Do they mean that you are good at long-term planning and at avoiding getting discouraged when it takes time for your business to become profitable? Even if you have all of these talents, you can still leave your business vulnerable to major setbacks if you, on behalf of your company, are party to contracts that are not in your favor. A small business lawyer like Stephen Welle can help you draft contracts that give your business the greatest possible protection.
What Kinds of Contracts Does Your Business Need?
All businesses use contracts, but which contracts they use depends on the line of work in which the business engages. These are some of the most common types of contract agreements that business owners use.
Almost all contracts, no matter their subject matter, contain language about how to resolve disputes that relate to the terms of the contract. How to word these parts of the contract can have a big influence as far as putting your business on sound footing in a court of law.
Why Contracts Matter
If you start doing business with a supplier or independent contractor, and you do not have a written agreement, then it is one person’s word against another’s in a court of law. The supplier or worker can say that you promised to pay all sorts of money that you did not promise to pay, and it is up to the judge’s discretion to determine who is more credible. Likewise, simply having a written contract does not automatically offer absolute protection from legal problems. It is important to word your contract so that there are not any loopholes. You want the language in the contract to be flexible enough for it to apply to a variety of situations. (If you do not do this, you will end up with a contract that is many pages long.)
If it sounds like writing a contract that is advantageous to your business requires specialized skill, it does. Therefore, the best thing you can do is have an attorney write your contract, or else write a first draft by yourself and then have an attorney review it.

Manufacturer: Jackson China
User: Florence Inn
Distributor: Yonkers Restaurant Supply Co.
Date of bowl: circa 1920s – 1930s
Notes: The Florence Inn was located at the corner of Route 1 and Franklin Street in Tarrytown, New York. Originally called Franklin House when it was established in 1821, by 1860 it was Vincent House and later became Florence House / Inn. Among its distinguished guests were Presidents Martin Van Buren, Theodore Roosevelt and Rutherford B. Hayes, and General William T. Sherman.
The 30-room inn was known for its cuisine and spirits through the 1920s. By 1955, the hotel was forced to close its doors and would sit vacant for years until being demolished in the 1960's, to be replaced by a rather vanilla looking brick structure that would be used for office space.
After falling into disrepair, the hotel closed its doors and sat vacant until its demolition in the 1960s. A brick office building currently occupies the space.

I actually finished Animal Farm (Fantasy 128 pages) by George Orwell a couple of days ago, but I haven’t had a chance to write up my review until today.
“This remarkable book has been described in many ways – as a masterpiece … a fairy story … a brilliant satire … a frightening view of the future. A devastating attack on the pig-headed, gluttonous and avaricious rulers in an imaginary totalitarian state, it illuminates the range of human experience from love to hate, from comedy to tragedy. ‘A wise, compassionate and illuminating fable for our time … The steadiness and lucidity of Orwell’s wit are reminiscent of Anatole France and even of Swift.’ – New York Times.”
I guess one of the first things I need to comment on is the essay in the beginning of my copy of this book (I have the sixteenth printing of this book from 1964). The essay was published in The Times Literary Supplement in London on 06 August 1954 by C.M. Woodhouse. In this essay, Woodhouse discusses the original publication of Animal Farm in the same month that the atomic bomb hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki and also classification of this book as a fairy story. Woodhouse discusses a lot of the politics involved in Animal Farm and the history of World War II and how that impacted George Orwell’s stories. I’m not usually someone who enjoys reading literary essays, but this was a very interesting look at this book. I’m not really sure if I would have read the book the same way if I hadn’t read the essay beforehand.
About the book itself.
I’m not going to say that I liked the book and I’m not going to say that I disliked the book either. I think this is one of those few books that I will likely remain neutral towards because I understand what the story is saying about the political nature of the world in which we live, but it was not exactly a satisfying read.
In the beginning of the book, the reader is introduced to a variety of farm animals, each with their own characteristics. There were so many names and animals introduced so quickly that I don’t think I really remembered which names went with each animal. I definitely got animals and names confused several times.
The reader is also introduced to Farmer Jones and even though Farmer Jones is the first human encountered in this story, the story is set up such that Farmer Jones appears to be the villain of the story. He is a drunk and often negligent in his care for the animals on his farm. While Farmer Jones is a very human and relatable character, as he portrays many familiar behaviors, he is not a character who is easy to like. Understandable, yes. Likable, no.
I think the only character that I genuinely like throughout this whole story was Boxer, but I also think that his part of the story was the most tragic. The main thing that motivated him every day and every night was taking care of the farm and working hard to make things better for the rest of the animals. His loyalty was genuine and all-encompassing. He worked through pain and discomfort and injuries in order to build the windmill to make the lives of the animals better. He gave everything he had only to have those to whom his loyalty was given abuse him and betray him. After he strained his heart and couldn’t
even move, the pigs then sold him to the butcher and didn’t give a second thought to him or everything he’d sacrificed for the farm.
Boxer gave his heart, body, and soul to the farm and everything he accomplished would have made the lives of the animals much, much richer if those in charge had actually believed in making an equal society. Instead, his hard work and effort went to making the pigs fatter, happier, more comfortable, and more entitled.
I thought that the book was an interesting look at how a dream and an idea for equality can quickly get out of hand. I also thought it was interesting that this book was written almost 70 years ago and how everything that this book talks about with classism, racism, and entitlement are still prevalent today. The pigs who are in charge may have started out their time in charge with the most benevolent of intentions, but it didn’t take very long for them to use their power to help them gain more power instead of creating a truly equal society. The pigs invented enemies in order to build fear amongst the other farm animals and they used their power to continuously gain more power. Power absolutely does corrupt, and absolute power, even more so.
Overall, I’d say this book is a very low two on my rating scale. While I understand the intent with the political thought process behind this book, I found the book depressing without any redeeming hope. I am unlikely to voluntarily read this book again. | <urn:uuid:a32321a5-ff0d-4f7d-85ba-b6252936b3b2> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://cajacobs.com/2015/09/06/book-review-animal-farm-by-george-orwell/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570879.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808213349-20220809003349-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.980987 | 1,015 | 1.632813 | 2 |
Last week, pupils studying Latin and Classics in Year 9 were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to visit the site of Aquae Sulis in the city of Bath. With the area having been public baths approximately two thousand years ago, it was surreal for us to imagine ourselves walking on the same ground as ancient Romans. The trip was a very worthwhile experience, with us all taking away something new, whether it be some new vocabulary or a sudden interest in Roman mythology, and was made all the more wonderful by the kind and patient staff at Aqua Sulis, who were eager to help us with daunting translation or with identifying an ancient artefact.
We began the day with a short walk to the site, which was highly appreciated after two hours on the coach. The classroom we then moved to appeared to be normal, but as we stepped inside we were greeted by the sight of many wondrous artefacts and replicas, as well as projections of ancient Latin carvings. With the help of our teachers and Aquae Sulis guide, we uncovered stories of ancient stoneworkers who had built the actual baths around us. We then learnt about the activities available at the Baths and the equipment necessary, and were lucky to be able to see and touch thousand-year-old oil scrapers and lamps.
Next we had the chance to walk around and tour the museum ourselves. The views down to the main pool from the walkway were magnificent; however, it didn’t end there, as we were able to walk all the way around the pool (of course while maintaining balance and a safe distance) and mimic the daily actions of the Romans who spent their time here two millennia before. With the help of our audio guides, we walked away from Aquae Sulis feeling like experts, and with our friends around us, the day was a perfect combination of education and entertainment.

Company Culture Definition
Company culture is one of the essential concepts in the management of people within organizations and, therefore, any Human Resources professional should work on it.
It is, in a nutshell, the set of norms, values, thinking, and feeling shared by the members of an organization.
As we can see, the image of the company, customer service, dealing with suppliers, also enter into the company culture.
What are the elements of company culture?
Within the culture of an organization, we can find a group of fundamental elements that determine it. We will treat each of them thoroughly.
- The beliefs of a company bring together general ideas about the current situation, the mission, the origin, and future forecasts.
- And also, It bases on the belief, the members of a company determine their behavior.
- Company values often define as the conception shared by all members of an organization of what is desirable.
- If beliefs underlie the culture of a company, values set the pace and the path on how the company has to act in the face of its regular and unforeseen activities.
- Within the values, we usually find comprehensive concepts that define a specific behavior, such as tolerance, respect, equality.
- From the sum of the two elements that we have dealt with so far (beliefs + values), we obtain what is usually known as ideology.
- Symbols are often the role models of company members and embody ideology.
- Generally, when we talk about symbols in the corporate culture of an organization, we refer to people who have behaved or are behaving that demonstrate the potential of the literature and are a source of motivation for the rest.
- The symbols or heroes have the role of catalysts of the business culture, the reason why their communicative function, as in leadership, is fundamental.
- If the culture is truly shared, there must be a communication network that disseminates all beliefs and values, and that allows symbols to show themselves and shown to enable the culture to renew its worth.
- And also, Within this element, we would find all the formal and informal means used to transmit information.
- Myths are all the stories, anecdotes, or “fables” that sometimes told in the company about certain events of the past, specific actions of any of the existing symbols, and directly or metaphorically reflect the values of that culture.
- Many of the myths refer to the founders or to that stage, conveying original ideas about the beliefs, values, and exemplary behaviors.
- They are the systematic and programmed activities that are carried out in the company to indicate certain vital moments.
- They constitute a form of communication of the values of culture, which have formalized in a formal expression, which can be repeated to better exercise its educational value.
- In the company, there are initiation rituals for those who join, ceremonies for the promotion of employees, or even employee dismissal rituals.
- Learning a language is learning a part of the culture of the organization that uses it.
- And also, It considered as the crystallized thinking of a group. Therefore it is key to understanding their culture.
One of the most crucial aspects of a well-executed event is a good project plan.
You don’t need to be a project managing expert to plan and execute a medium-sized event, but you need to understand the process.
Benefits of using event planning template includes areas where you can list strategic elements such as objectives, target audience, and messaging as well as logistical details such as programming, and audio-visual requirements etc.
What are the Types of Company Culture?
Although, like each person, each company is a world, there are a series of low culture types that can include almost all performance models. There are four, although we want to emphasize that there are as many companies in the world.
- This type of culture found in companies in which the power of decision is highly concentrated.
- If all the processes are to end in the choice of a specific person, the company finds a brake on its development in the capacity of this person.
Culture by objectives
- It based on participating in competitiveness and success to achieve the objectives at the expense of other elements.
- And also, The characteristic feature is the demand for results. The objectives considered to be the origin of the activity and, at the same time, its goal.
- This culture is a derivation of the culture by objectives. It aims to achieve motivation and, therefore, the happiness of the people who make up the company. Consider that motivated teams achieve the best results.
- The determining factor in the success of this is the management style and how the employees are performing responsible tasks.
Why is company culture influential?
- When a business style is right, you have to try by all means to prosper over time.
- A good company culture ensures that departing employees take something of the company personally and new employees adapt to the organization does.
- In our opinion, company culture should always base on respect, tolerance, effort, meritocracy, trust, and motivation.
- Furthermore, customer management is the most definite external sign of company culture.
- The organization must continuously think about its customer, and bright and lasting business culture will turn customer relationship management into a successful strategy.

BEIJING - China respects Taiwan's social system and values, a senior Chinese leader said on Sunday, in the wake of sweeping protests in Taiwan over a controversial trade deal.
Yu Zhengsheng, China's top political adviser and a member of the elite Politburo Standing Committee, said problems in cross-Straits relations should be resolved by China giving "more understanding, respect and consideration from the perspective of a family" to Taiwan, the official Xinhua news agency reported.
Yu made the remarks at a forum on cross-Strait ties in the coastal city of Xiamen. "We respect their identification with the current social system, values and lifestyles; and we know that some friends still harbour misgivings on the development of the cross-Strait relations," Yu said, according to Xinhua.
China's top official in charge of relations with Taiwan is to make his first visit to the self-ruled island this month.
China and Taiwan have been ruled separately since Nationalist forces, defeated by the Communists, fled to the island at the end of the Chinese civil war in 1949. China considers Taiwan a renegade province and has never ruled out the use of force to bring it under its control.
In recent years the two sides have built extensive economic ties, and their first direct government-to-government talks in China in February marked a big step towards expanding cross-strait dialogue beyond trade.
But many younger people feel little connection to Communist-ruled China and there has been a recent upsurge in pride in Taiwan's own cultural and historic identity, including use of the island's indigenous languages, as opposed to the official tongue of Mandarin.
Protesters occupied Taiwan's parliament during three weeks of mass agitation starting in March, angered by a trade pact with China they fear will benefit wealthy companies with Chinese links and undermine Taiwan's cherished democratic institutions. | <urn:uuid:b9d6fcb1-630d-41a6-8370-cd671c9e820c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.asiaone.com/asia/china-respects-taiwans-social-system-senior-official-says | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570651.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807150925-20220807180925-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.957322 | 383 | 1.71875 | 2 |
I have interacted with many Africans who hold the position that Christianity is a “Whiteman’s religion.” Some of the movements like Rastafarianism, Mungiki, Dini ya Musambwa, Legio Maria, African Divine Church, and other sceptics that you meet in towns hold on to these views. And the majority of those who embrace African Traditional Religion hold to the same view of Jesus as white. Sadly, the lack of facts has led to the rejection of Christianity by many people.
I recently interacted with a Rastafarian who believed that black people are the once who were enslaved in Egypt and that Moses was sent to deliver them. He argued that this slavery happened in the 1600s, which showed much ignorance of history. The Bible is alleged to be a Whiteman’s book. This thought is birthed from the reality that enslavers of Africans did twist scripture to justify slavery. Amazingly though, it was through proper study of the Bible that set Africans free from bondage. It was from the biblical truth that all men are equal before the sight of God that was the catalyst to set slaves free (Genesis 1:26-27, Acts 10:34, Acts 17:26, Romans 2:11, Galatians 3:28).
The scriptures have been used for good or bad throughout the centuries. In our era, it’s used for bad to enslave people’s minds by wrong interpretations. One example of this would be “schools of deliverance,” within Nairobi. Another example of how people use the wrong interpretation of the scriptures to enslave others is denying Christ his rightful place in our lives and lifting the voices of pastors and bishops. Many people have become loyal to their pastors and bishops to the extent that what God says in his word matters less. It is no longer God says, but my pastor or bishop says. Therefore, the Bible has been used by many people for various kind of selfish interest. Sadly people rebel against the Bible, Christianity, and even Jesus because of the wrong interpretation of the scriptures and say the reason it is bad is that it is a white man’s religion.
Several reasons can be given against this assertion of Christianity as a “Whiteman religion.” All the reasons are based on verifiable facts.
Jesus Was Not White
There is no Biblical or historical ground to base the argument that Jesus or even the Jews were white people. It is a lazy argument as the evidence is all around to prove otherwise. Abraham, the founder of the Jewish race, was from Ur which is modern-day Iraq (the home of brown people) and was initially settled by Nimrod, son of Cush who was an African. The areas of Cush include present-day Sudan, Ethiopia and Southern Egypt. The Jews also intermarried with the very brown people of Egypt during their 400 years of slavery since there was no prohibition of inter-ethnic marriage by then. Exodus 12:38 says, “A mixed multitude also went up with them,” showing that people of different skin colours were Jewish. Two of the twelve tribes of the Israelites were a mixture of Africans and Jews. Ephraim and Manasseh were these two tribes. These two tribes were a mixture because Joseph married an Egyptian woman (Genesis 41:51-52; Numbers 13:4-15).
The narrative that Jesus and even the Jews themselves are a bunch of white men is not based in reality. This “white Jesus,” story has gained strength due to the bitterness that slavery and colonialism brought mixed with the backlash to the bad morals that the West is currently trying to push in Africa. This bitterness and backlash is right in that it was wrong what happened, but the enemy is not a “white Jesus,” the enemy is sin and incorrect interpretation of the Bible. If we continue to make the enemy a “white Jesus” and a “white man’s religion” then we will miss the only opportunity to be saved from eternal damnation (John 14:6, Acts 4:12).
Blacks were part of Christianity before missionaries in Africa
Blacks were part of the church from the very beginning. Christianity did not initially come to African through slave masters. Africans interacted with Christ in person! We have Simon of Cyrene (Mark 15:21) who carried the cross of Jesus on his way to Crucifixion. Cyrene was located at Eastern Libya. In Acts 2:10, we had Africans from Egypt and Libya at Jerusalem during the Day of Pentecost, where three thousand people gave their lives to Christ. In Acts 8:26-39, we encounter the Ethiopian Eunuch who gave his life Christ after being preached to by Philip.
The first Christians were, therefore, a representative of the entire known world, including Africa. Christianity thrived in Africa during the early centuries of the faith. By the year 200 AD, there were many local churches in Egypt. There are stories of African Christians being martyred around Carthage, which is present-day Tunisia as early as 180 AD. African Christians were martyred for refusing to recognize the Roman emperor as a god. Coptic and Ethiopian Christians trace their origins back to Apostle Mark, who was the first apostle of Egypt and was martyred for his faith in Egypt. Although vigorously persecuted for their faith, Christianity never stopped its growth in Africa.
Christianity is not a “white man religion.” Such belief will cause you to miss out on the only one who can save you (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). Christianity existed before the coming of white people in Africa. God is not racist; he sent his son for all people of every race (John 3:16, Romans 10:12, Galatians 3:28). God has revealed himself to all people on the earth (Romans 1:18-20), and those that receive his Son as Saviour will get to see him in glory (2 Corinthians 4:6, 2 Corinthians 4:15, John 1:14, Ephesians 3:16, Luke 2:14, Philippians 2:10-11). | <urn:uuid:3ea13fe0-ceee-4ea5-bd00-e84556e60aae> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://kuzaapp.com/2020-2-26-is-christianity-a-whitemans-religion/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570651.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807150925-20220807180925-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.981682 | 1,284 | 1.992188 | 2 |
Aversion treatments pair undesirable behaviours with negative sensations. In smoking cessation, several approaches have been suggested such as rapid smoking, which requires smokers to take a puff every few seconds to make smoking unpleasant. The results of the existing trials suggest that this may be effective, but the evidence is not conclusive because most of the studies of this approach have methodological problems. A recent laboratory study also suggests that the method has an active ingredient. Further research may be worthwhile.
The existing studies provide insufficient evidence to determine the efficacy of rapid smoking, or whether there is a dose-response to aversive stimulation. Milder versions of aversive smoking seem to lack specific efficacy. Rapid smoking is an unproven method with sufficient indications of promise to warrant evaluation using modern rigorous methodology.
Aversion therapy pairs the pleasurable stimulus of smoking a cigarette with some unpleasant stimulus. The objective is to extinguish the urge to smoke.
This review has two aims: First, to determine the efficacy of rapid smoking and other aversive methods in helping smokers to stop smoking; Second, to determine whether there is a dose-response effect on smoking cessation at different levels of aversive stimulation.
We searched the Cochrane Tobacco Addiction Group specialised register (latest search date October 2009) for studies which evaluated any technique of aversive smoking.
Randomized trials which compared aversion treatments with 'inactive' procedures or which compared aversion treatments of different intensity for smoking cessation. Trials must have reported follow up of least six months from beginning of treatment.
We extracted data in duplicate on the study population, the type of aversion treatment, the outcome measure, method of randomization and completeness of follow up.
The outcome measure was abstinence from smoking at maximum follow up, using the strictest measure reported by the authors. Subjects lost to follow up were regarded as smokers. Where appropriate, we performed meta-analysis using a fixed effect model.
Twenty-five trials met the inclusion criteria. Twelve included rapid smoking and nine used other aversion methods. Ten trials included two or more conditions allowing assessment of a dose-response to aversive stimulation. The odds ratio (OR) for abstinence following rapid smoking compared to control was 2.01 (95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.36 to 2.95). Several factors suggest that this finding should be interpreted cautiously. A funnel plot of included studies was asymmetric, due to the relative absence of small studies with negative results. Most trials had a number of serious methodological problems likely to lead to spurious positive results. The only trial using biochemical validation of all self reported cessation gave a non-significant result.
Other aversion methods were not shown to be effective (OR 1.15, 95% CI 0.73 to 1.82). There was a borderline dose-response to the level of aversive stimulation (OR 1.67, 95% CI 0.99 to 2.81). | <urn:uuid:1164c600-f27a-4ce7-ba2b-eb07d9f0db89> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.cochrane.org/CD000546/TOBACCO_does-smoking-in-a-way-that-is-unpleasant-help-smokers-to-quit | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573908.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20220820043108-20220820073108-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.939457 | 581 | 1.976563 | 2 |
Note: Today’s post is courtesy of a prompt from “642 Things to Write About“. Today’s prompt is: “What can happen in a second?”
A great number of things can happen in a second. A blink, a heartbeat, a flash of lightning or a spark of electricity. In one second gravity can pull an object to the ground from a height of 9.8 meters. There are lots of fairly obvious answers that I’m sure most people could come up with easily, but there are lots of not-so-obvious answers as well.
A heart could stop in a second…or it could start. In a second someone could fall in love at first sight. It might only take a second for a shooting star to streak across the sky. A subconscious reflex could take only a second. In a second someone’s heart could be broken. A fatal mistake could happen in a second. Or a fatal mistake could be avoided in a second. A good, true laugh can occur in a second. It only takes a second for a quick, sweet kiss.
A “second” is merely a unit of measurement that we happen to use to distinguish what we consider to be a very short length of time, but a rather great deal of things can occur in that one second. We just don’t always take notice of these things happening, and that is quite a shame, isn’t it? | <urn:uuid:3b8ef415-7eb4-4209-b523-1330b02ab654> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://nopageleftblank.wordpress.com/2014/11/06/in-the-blink-of-an-eye/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570879.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808213349-20220809003349-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.952 | 304 | 2.71875 | 3 |

Russia celebrated its Navy Day vacation on Sunday with naval parades in varied cities.
President Vladimir Putin attended the primary occasion in Saint Petersburg, the nation’s second-largest metropolis.
After inspecting the fleet, Putin made a brief speech during which he introduced the navy would obtain what he known as “formidable” hypersonic Zircon cruise missiles within the coming months. The missiles can journey at 9 occasions the pace of sound, outrunning air defences.
Earlier, he signed a brand new 55-page naval doctrine, which units out the broad strategic goals of Russia’s navy, together with its ambitions as a “nice maritime energy” which lengthen over the complete world.
The principle risk to Russia, the doctrine says, is “the strategic coverage of the USA to dominate the world’s oceans” and the motion of the NATO navy alliance nearer in direction of Russia’s borders.
Russia might use its navy power appropriately to the state of affairs on this planet’s oceans ought to different smooth powers, similar to diplomatic and financial instruments, be exhausted, the doctrine says, acknowledging that Russia doesn’t have sufficient navy bases globally. | <urn:uuid:07550251-ab1b-4316-ba4a-9113bdde7ee1> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://azone.cyou/photos-putin-attends-parade-as-russia-celebrates-navy-day-in-pictures-news/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570651.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807150925-20220807180925-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.930381 | 248 | 1.726563 | 2 |
Labor senator says Pandora Papers shows need for reform
Labor Senator Deborah O’Neill said the Pandora Papers expose the potential of accountants to turn a blind eye to financial crime and called for the implementation of long-delayed reforms that would place stricter requirements on the industry to report suspicious transactions.
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists published a survey Monday, dubbed the Pandora Papers, which analyzed millions of leaked documents from 14 financial firms that have helped thousands of people, including power brokers and celebrities, disburse money overseas.
Around 400 Australians were caught in the charge for using a Singaporean trust, Asiaciti, set up by an Australian accountant to set up offshore structures. There is no evidence that Asiaciti clients have broken any laws.
However, Senator O’Neill said exceptions in Australia’s anti-money laundering (AML) laws that exempt accountants and lawyers from reporting suspected financial crimes undermine the integrity of Australia’s financial system.
“These Pandora documents are a reminder that any accountant can be at the heart of a massive international abuse of power and siphon off money and illegal activities that are costly to the community,” said Senator O’Neill. “When we look at international standards, it is clear that Australia is not meeting these international standards.”
Australia’s anti-money laundering laws require certain institutions, such as banks and remittances, to detect and report suspicious transactions to the Australian Center for Transaction Analysis and Analysis (AUSTRAC), which works with law enforcement agencies to trace money and put an end to crime.
Since the laws were first introduced in 2006, reforms that would require non-financial professions, including accountants and lawyers, to comply with the laws by performing customer due diligence and reporting suspicious transactions, called “tranche two”, were delayed.
Now, Senator O’Neill launched investigating Australia’s anti-money laundering regime and soliciting industry input on the costs and benefits of implementing the second tranche, in order to align Australian laws with international standards of prevention of financial crime. The delay was criticized by international organizations, including the Financial Action Task Force.
Lobbyists, including the Australian Banking Association and FinTech Australia, have strongly supported the second tranche reforms, saying the current regime is “light” and unfair. | <urn:uuid:c3ff129e-f73a-486d-acb9-6566a190ae13> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.after-hours.org/labor-senator-says-pandora-papers-shows-need-for-reform/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570651.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807150925-20220807180925-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.948068 | 481 | 1.554688 | 2 |
Assessment 2: Critically evaluating wellbeing and resilience initiatives (30%)
Assessment 2 due: Monday 27 August 2020, 5pm (AEST)
For Assessment 2, you will choose two of the initiatives curated in Assessment 1 and then you will identify and critically evaluate the elements of these two initiatives. Assessment 2 has two parts.
1. For two of the initiatives from Assessment 1, list the program elements (e.g. free classes in mindfulness, mentoring by local business owners, a community garden)
2. For each of these program elements, identify their intended wellbeing/resilience outcomes (e.g. social connectedness, social inclusion, physical health, mental health, reducing carbon emissions, zero waste)
1. For each program element, identify and summarise the research support for the efficacy/outcomes of this activity. Use quality peer-reviewed theoretical and/or empirical journal articles for this part of your assessment.
2. Critique and discuss any relevant shortcomings of the initiatives. You might use peer-reviewed literature here, or also grey literature (i.e. industry/government/NGO reports such as a program evaluation or annual report).
3. Suggest any improvements/additions/modifications that could be made to the two initiatives so that they better meet their proposed outcomes.
Examples of identifying program elements and intended outcomes
Cafe 88 is a not-for profit restaurant for people on low incomes and for people that had mental health issues that often led to social isolation. Below is a list of some of the specific features set up in the initiative, with the aim of generating wellbeing elements.
Specific features in the initiative Target wellbeing outcomes
Very long 'community tables’. Social connectedness; fun.
Cheap (at cost) healthy food. Healthy eating; lowering economic stress (low cost).
Volunteering: Non-team members that volunteered to work at the restaurant were welcomed and included in the team. Giving; belonging; inclusion; achievement and engagement - factors that team members
involved in the project also experienced.
Attractive rear garden with tables and chairs. Green space immersion; stress-reduction.
Castlemaine Community House (CCH)
Social connectedness. The CCH has a permaculture garden that is open daily. Locals regularly congregate there to tend the garden, have coffee/socialise. Many of the attendees are senior citizens, and/or folk that are unemployed; two groups known to be at increased risk of social isolation.
Life-long learning/brain stimulation. The CCH runs regular courses at the garden; e.g., pruning fruit trees; permaculture design certificates; urban vegetable gardening.
Green space immersion. The garden provides an informal and relaxing greenspace environment that people can access during the day, 7 days a week.
Healthy eating. Organic, locally grown food.
Economic wellbeing. Cost of living reduction via organic food with no ‘food miles’.

I wanted to like this book, found the early pages a chore…. then suddenly, I found myself hooked.
Mary Pilon’s book revolves around Ralph Anspach’s legal case against Parker Brothers. Parker Brothers own the “Monopoly” boardgame; Anspach, an idealistic economics lecturer, disliked monopolies and created a superficially similar game, “Anti-Monopoly”, in which you win by breaking up corporate power. As you can imagine, Parker Brothers didn’t take kindly to the existence of a similar (?) game with a similar (?) name.
In the course of fighting the case, Anspach researched the history of Monopoly. He made the explosive discovery that the creation myth of the game – that it was sketched out by a desperately poor Charles Darrow in the depths of the Depression – is exactly that: a myth. Darrow was patiently taught the game by a friend; the friend learned it from Atlantic City Quakers, and the Quakers adapted a game in general circulation – which traces its lineage back to Lizzy Magie’s “Landlord’s Game” (1903). But would any of that help Anspach defeat Parker Brothers in court?
Pilon is a bit clunky with her economics, but there isn’t much of that – fortunately. The rest of the book is carefully researched, fascinating in the details of the history – and a total page-turner when it comes to the Anspach court case. Definitely recommended – even if you correctly think Monopoly that is a pretty creaky old game.

Traditionally, even in a fantasy world, it’s a farfetched scenario to see dark-skinned black women with African features onscreen.
But with the “Black Panther” cast, I got it all.
Lupita Nyong’o is Kenyan and Mexican. Letitia Wright was born in Guyana, and Florence Kasumba hails from Uganda, though they both spent much of their childhood in Europe. Danai Gurira grew up in Zimbabwe, and I saw my own heritage in her. These are all dark-skinned black women with an undeniable variation of African features.
The film was so highly anticipated that, before seeing it, I worried it wouldn’t live up to its promise of black excellence for its female characters. I have grown tired of seeing sexed up sidekicks with little to no agency. Oftentimes, it feels like if a cast includes black women in a superhero film, they are pretty ornamental and only exist to give an illusion of inclusion — attempting to pacify black audiences.
But in interviews, these actresses assured us that women were part of the filmmaking process. After watching “Black Panther,” it was clear that director and co-writer Ryan Coogler saw this as a collaborative project. The entire film was a love letter to African cultures, black art and the strength of women.
I saw so much of myself in these fierce, brilliant characters, many of whom had their perfectly coiffed, kinky textured hair on full display. All the things that make my appearance distinctly African were celebrated in this movie.
Visually, these characters embodied a demeanor of strength through a carefully crafted aesthetic spearheaded by costume designer Ruth E. Carter. Carter studied fashions worn by the ancient indigenous people of Africa and modernized certain looks for the women of Wakanda. The costume design in “Black Panther” accepts and acknowledges the “black female form,” Carter told the Cut.
Hair versatility – led by Camille Friend – also added depth and detail to the film, which helped shape the personalities of the protagonists.
In “Black Panther,” we meet Ayo (Florence Kasumba) and Okoye (Danai Gurira). Both women are bald, with tribal tattoos on their heads. They are part of the Dora Milaje, an army of bodyguards meant to protect Wakanda and its king, T’Challa, the Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman).
Without saying much, Okoye’s presence exudes her indispensability. She is T’Challa’s chief general who he listens to and takes direction from. Okoye is intuitive, ready for action and alert. She is the driving force behind Wakanda.
Letitia Wright steals almost every scene she’s in as Shuri, T’Challa’s spunky little sister, whose hair is styled in fun micro braids. With a neverending curiosity and fearlessness, she is the backbone of Wakanda’s technological infrastructure. Shuri is someone we rarely see represented onscreen or in real life: Black women who work in tech.
Then there’s Lupita Nyong’o’s character, Nakia, who had flawlessly executed twist knots throughout much of the film. The audience first meets Nakia, a Wakandan spy, during a rescue mission that appears to pay homage to the missing girls kidnapped by Boko Haram. But this is fiction, of course: Rather than people losing interest in a campaign like “bring back our girls,” Nakia helps liberate the women in a brief yet tender scene. She is a philanthropist at heart. Nakia is also T’Challa’s love interest, but the importance of her role is independent of their relationship.
Ramonda, played by Angela Bassett, stood stoic throughout the film as the matriarch of the kingdom. Dressed in a 3D-printed African-inspired headdress to match her ornate costumes, she never wavered in remaining grounded, even in the most chaotic scenes involving the fate of her son, T’challa.
Yes, Wakanda is a fantasy world, but the emotions experienced while watching these strong women were very real.
“Even though Wakanda is made up, it is still a part of the continent from which our ancestors came, and it gives people a context with which to think of people of color in a positive way,” said Carter, the costume designer.
So often, blackness is reduced to a painful experience. In spite of what we collectively endure, “Black Panther” shows us how we can transform that pain into art and triumph. For centuries, we have been endlessly resilient and that is especially due to black women.
Toward the end of the film, all of the female characters make a decision to rally around Black Panther and Wakanda, despite a level of betrayal. In real life, black women shoulder movements, too, despite the disposable way in which society engages with us. “Black Panther” is a story of unwavering loyalty, regardless of the pain endured. | <urn:uuid:5fdd594d-084a-4535-8f40-d5ef0f43f11d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.thelily.com/the-power-of-black-panthers-army-of-african-women/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573533.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818215509-20220819005509-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.963875 | 1,085 | 1.84375 | 2 |
What are we crying out about?
“Classical Music” in the most mainstream sense hasn’t been around for that long, arguably only 400 years and for most of that time it wasn’t really thought of as “classical”. Much of the music that the orchestra plays is taken from the classical cannon but there was a time when all of this music was new. New music wasn’t considered something niche but part of what going to hear live performance was all about. We are crying out to make this true again!
New music and commissioning young composers is at the centre of what this orchestra does and at each concert a new commission or second performance of a new work is at the centre of our program. Just as once hundreds of people went to hear Beethoven’s fifth symphony for the first time, our aim is to enliven the music we know and allow ourselves to hear it in a new context as well as hear new music in a fashion that doesn’t make it niche or separate. Come along and enjoy our concerts…for crying out loud! | <urn:uuid:adf95719-ab28-4d04-a80f-63a4b112e63a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.theoutcryensemble.com/about/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573908.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20220820043108-20220820073108-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.972975 | 233 | 1.796875 | 2 |
DOING MORE BY DOING LESS
Recycling…it’s good and all, but when it comes to the environment, it really is the lowest rung of “3Rs” ladder. At the top is good ol’ “reduce”, as in reduce the amount of waste we produce, as in…hmmm…if only I had a good example of waste reduction. Wait…I know…imagine you’re throwing this party and, to impress your guests, you decided to build an artificial lake (just a made up example here, folks). And just say you build said fake lake using FSC certified wood, 100% PVC free post-consumer plastic, solar powered tools and fill it with fair trade water…heck, you even donate the loyalty points from putting the $650,000 tab on your credit card to the TGH & TWH and PMH Foundations. Now, one could argue that this would be a green lake, a pinnacle of our greening potential. Or one could say that the greener, waste reducing option would have been to not build the lake in the first place, spend a little more to get organic beverages and make a nice donation to the PMH and TGH & TWH Foundations. But enough of these hypothetical examples…GOLLY GEE – 20 WASTE REDUCTION IDEAS FOR UHN
(okay, only seven ideas, but then the pun wouldn’t work)
● Let’s see…10,000 or so UHNers times one cup of fair trade coffee/tea/soy beverage per day times 230 or so working days per year equals 2.3 million cups!!! That’s a lot of waste, be they recycled (which we can now do in our “cans & bottles” bins) or sitting in a landfill for the next couple of generations. Not to mention that collectively we could save nearly $250,000 from travel mug discounts (cheques can be made out to Energy & Environment…or, of course, the TGH & TWH and PMH Foundations).
● Print? Not! 46 million sheets of paper a year at UHN can’t be wrong, can they?
● Before you toss that extra furniture or those unwanted office supplies in the trash, post them on UHN’s Virtual Swap Room (http://188.8.131.52:8080/~discussion/guests), and try to find them a new home.
● What to get that person who has everything? Give them the gift of “nothing” with tribute cards from our PMH (www.pmhf.ca) or TGH & TWH (www.tgwhf.ca) Foundations.
● BYORWB – Bring Your Own Refillable Water Bottle, that is.
● Before you buy offices supplies or furniture, visit UHN’s Virtual Swap Room (http://184.108.40.206:8080/~discussion/guests) first.
● Picture this. You arrive home after another satisfying day of providing patient and planet centred care. It’s the end of the week, so you decide to live a little and order a pizza…the usual, local organic goat cheese, fresh rosemary from the proprietor’s garden and all the free range anchovies one could legally hope to have. The pie arrives, and you dig in…picking off and eating the anchovies and eventually throwing the rest into your green bin. What’s wrong with this picture (and no, it’s not that rosemary and goats don’t mix)? Of course, it’s the waste. And yet, we at Energy & Environment hear the occasional story of people having to open up pre-packaged medical supply kits to only use one or two items, with the rest ending up in the trash. Well, not that we really want to hear such stories, but we want to hear such stories from you…let us know if this has happened to you and we’ll see if we can do something about it.
