Lebanon has suffered from political instability for decades, but the recent explosion that devastated a large part of Beirut may serve as the proverbial straw that breaks the country’s back. Caroline Rose, who spent some time in the country on a research assignment prior to the explosion, argues that the indirect geopolitical consequences of the accident could be far-reaching. She offers a useful overview of the different foreign powers that will likely take advantage of the situation to increase their regional influence.

This paper summarizes the synthesis, growth and the effect of the position of the substituent in the thienyl ring and also the properties of the grown chalcone crystals, 2-CTP and 3-CTP. The formation of compound is confirmed by the re- corded H1NMR spectra. A FT-IR spectrum confirms the presence of all functional groups in both of the crystals. Single crystal XRD reports that even though these two compounds crystallize in monoclinic crystal system, 2-CTP has centro- symmetric P21/c space group and 3-CTP has non-centrosymmetric space group P21. Thermal properties of grown crys- tals analyzed by TG/DTA study explain that the 3-CTP compound is slightly more stable than 2-CTP. The transparency of these isomers in the vis-IR region has been studied. Second and third order nonlinear optical properties of 3-CTP and 2-CTP crystals have been investigated by powder SHG and Z-scan technique respectively.

Football owns the day of the week that once belonged to church
Football verges on being an American religion. But instead of the saints being martyred, they're getting hit. Hard. And often. The ensuing concussions can cause severe mental deterioration, erratic behavior, and even suicide.
Katherine Foley, a reporter with Quartz, came to Seattle to report a piece called "Football will keep killing players until we change the way it’s played." Seahawks reporter Michael-Shawn Dugar of the Seattle P-I joined Foley and Marcie Sillman to discuss the way the Seahawks play the game, and whether there's a way to tackle more safely.
Michael-Shawn likens it to a vehicle collision: "There's no way to crash a car safely. The safest way to do that is to not crash in the first place."

There are lots of fun things to see and do in Eureka Springs, AR – but none are quite like Quigley’s Castle. It truly deserves its title “The Ozarks’ Strangest Dwelling!”
Elise and Albert Quigley’s never intended for their house to become a tourist attraction – to them it was just “home” – but what an attraction it has become! Less a castle than a monument to the human will, Quigley’s Castle, located just four miles south of Eureka Springs, will fascinate and amaze you.
Quigley’s … Lumber Shack
When the Quigley’s first moved onto the eighty-acre farm in 1930, an old lumber shack became their new home. Albert told Elise to go ahead and design something else but that the shack would have to do until then.
Elise’s design was unique, to say the least. She was a nature lover and wanted her house to feel more like the world around her, rather than a box on top of it. Her design included lots of big windows and four feet of bare earth between the living space and the house walls.
With her design ready, Elise wanted to begin but Albert urged patience. This was a huge project and WWII made the glass for her proposed windows unavailable.
Five children in, Elise decided she’d waited long enough. One day, after Albert had gone to work, she and the children pulled down the old lumber shack. Now work on her design would have to begin – and so it did.
A Castle is Born
Quigley’s Castle was constructed in 1943 by the Quigleys, using lumber from their own land. Inside, Elise planted flowering, tropical plants into the bare earth between the floor and the walls. After 70 some years now, many of the plants have grown all the way up to the second story ceiling!
Elise also created all the rock walls and formations you see on the property. She started with the house, using pretty stones, fossils, crystals, and arrowheads that she’d collected over the years. Once the house was done she moved into the yard and gardens.
Quigley’s Castle is surrounded by lush garden of wildflowers, antique roses, and a wealth of perennials. Among all the gorgeous plants Elise built towering rock pillars, numerous “bottle trees”, and more than 100 sculptures.
Inside the home, more of Elise’s collections and work come to light. Every nook and cranny is filled with a collectible, a construction, and often both. One of the most stunning, and her last project, is the awesome Butterfly Wall, which you have to see to believe.
Elise Quigley died in 1984 but the magnificent and unique home she created, Quigley’s Castle, lives on. Come see it!

Joseph Mason Deem was born in Delhi, Ohio, on November 9, 1888. He entered the US Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland, on appointment from the Tenth District of Tennessee in 1905. Graduated on June 4, 1909, he served the two years at sea, as then required by law, before he was commissioned Ensign, June 5, 1911. Advancing progressively in rank, he subsequently attained that of Commander, to date from June 6, 1929. On June 30, 1937, he was transferred to the Retired List of the US Navy.
Following graduation from the Naval Academy in 1909, he remained there until October of that year, then joined USS Louisiana. In April 1910 he transferred to USS New York and between August and December 1910 had consecutive duty in USS Rainbow and USS Albany. After instruction in submarines in USS Shark, he reported in August 1911 on board USS Wheeling. At Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, after the completion of the target practice, he was detached from the Wheeling and in March 1913 was assigned to further training in submarine in USS Castine. From October 1913 to the summer of 1914 he served in USS G-One, with additional duty in USS G-Four. He was relieved of the additional duty in July 1914, at which time he assumed command of the G-One.
Ordered to St. Louis, Missouri, he had temporary duty in connection with the engines of USS L-Five, from February to July 1916, after which he had fitting out duty in that submarine at the Lake Torpedo Boat Company. He assumed command of the L-Five upon her commissioning, February 15, 1918, and in April of that year was assigned duty in connection with fitting out USS S-Thirty at the Union Iron Works. He was detached from the S-Thirty before she was commissioned and in March 1920 became Commanding Officer of USS Hart, operating with the Asiatic Fleet. While in command of the Hart he had temporary duty during November 1920 as Commander South China Patrol. Transferred in December 1921 to command of USS Hovey, he next served, September-November 1922, as Commanding Officer of USS Buffalo.
He had training in lighter-than-aircraft at the Naval Air Station, Lakehurst, New Jersey, and in the airship Shenandoah, (formerly ZR-One) based at Lakehurst, from her commissioning in October 1923. In May 1925 he was detached from the Lakehurst Air Station, when disqualified physically for aviation duty. He commanded USS Sharkey until June 1928, when he reported for instruction (junior course) at the Naval War College, Newport, Rhode Island. From June 1931 to May 1932 he was assigned to the Executive Department at the Naval Academy. Duty from June 1931 to May 1932 as Navigator of USS Lexington was followed by further sea service in USS Bushnell.
Returning to the Naval War College in June 1933 he was a student (senior course) until May 1934, then remained for duty on the staff until May 1936. He next served with Destroyers, Scouting Force and in January 1937 became Commander Destroyer Division SIXTY-TWO. In February 1937 he assumed command of the USS Medusa and early in June of that year was relieved of all active duty pending he retirement, effective June 30, 1937.
Commander Deem died at the Naval Hospital, Annapolis, Maryland, on September 22, 1940.
Commander Deem was awarded the decoration Officer of the Order of the Savior by the Government of Greece. He also had the Victory Medal, Submarine Clasp (World War I).

Labor and delivery nurses are specialized in supporting the amazing miracle of childbirth. From educating mothers-to-be on what to expect throughout the process, monitoring and documenting vital signs, to coordinating care with obstetricians and gynecologists, labor and delivery nurses
guarantee a mother and child’s first moments together are as safe and comfortable as can be. This gratifying work has its challenges, but it also comes with a comprehensive salary, opportunities for career advancement, and fantastic job prospects.
What is the Average Labor and Delivery Nurse Salary?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics
, in 2018 the median annual salary for all registered nurses was $71,730 or $34.48 per hour. Labor and delivery nurses typically earn a similar salary. As of June 2019, PayScale
reported that nurses in labor and delivery departments earn between $43,000 and $88,000, with the median falling at $61,333. The wide range is due to a number of factors such as experience level, location, and type of institution.
Labor and Delivery Nurse Salary By Experience level
Coursework prepares nurses for a majority of their job, but there are some lessons that cannot be learned in the classroom. Some nurses can recognize their obstetrician and patient’s needs as if they’re telepathic, or predict how far dilated a patient is based off the sound of her groaning, but this takes years of experience. Practice is essential in making good nurses excellent.
Employers take this improvement in effectiveness into account. An entry-level labor and delivery nurse with less than a year of experience can expect an hourly wage of around $25.54. As their level of experience increases, their salary will follow suit. A mid-career nurse with 5-9 years of experience earns on average $30.75 per hour. Seasoned nurses with over 20 years of experience earn on average $37.67 per hour.
If you are just beginning your career as a labor and delivery nurse, don’t be discouraged by the relatively low starting salary. There are multiple ways to expediate enhancement of your earnings such as moving to a location with a high demand of labor and delivery nurses, choosing a lucrative institution to work for, or taking classes for additional labor and delivery nurse certifications
Labor and Delivery Nurse Salary By Location
Labor and delivery nurse salaries vary across the country—even within states—depending on the supply and demand of nurses. Densely populated cities may offer high salaries because their nurses are busy with a high volume of patients. However, if too many nurses live in the area, it can be difficult to find an open position. Small towns that lack a supply of labor and delivery nurses may provide better benefits to attract more nurses to their community.
To get a sense of where nursing is most lucrative, here are the states and cities with the highest average labor and delivery nurse salaries.
According to Ziprecruiter
, the states with the highest salary are:
1. New York-- $112,673
2. Massachusetts-- $ 111,980
3. Maryland-- $105,491
4. Hawaii-- $103,403
5. Connecticut-- $103,225
6. California-- $103,155
7. Vermont-- $103,106
8. Washington-- $103,039
9. North Dakota-- $103,019
10. Montana-- $103,019
The following are the cities with the highest salary, according to PayScale
1. San Diego, California
2. Los Angeles, California
3. Houston, Texas
4. Chicago, Illinois
5. Dallas, Texas
The lowest salaries can be found in Atlanta, Georgia and San Antonio, Texas, where the average annual salary is 7.2% and 4.0% lower
than the national average, respectively. Also note that It’s important to compare salary and benefits with a city’s cost of living expenses. Salary alone isn’t always the best indicator of a viable livelihood.
Labor and delivery nurses that aren’t sure where they want to settle down or have a desire to experience new places can turn to travel nursing
. Travel nurses work as short-term contractors, bringing their skill sets to labor and delivery departments in high demand of nurses. Travel nurses can find work in thousands of facilities around all 50 states, ranging from bustling metropolitan centers to serene rural communities. After 8-13 weeks, travel nurses can either choose to extend their visit or explore a new location.
Agencies like American Mobile
help coordinate job placement as well as provide competitive pay rates and comprehensive benefits package. Benefits include a housing stipend, health and dental insurance, partial expense reimbursements, bonus opportunities, and liability insurance.
Labor and Delivery Nurse Salary By Institution
Labor and delivery nurse salaries can also differ depending on the setting they work in. Most typically they work in hospital’s maternity wards, birthing centers, or attend home births. However, they can also be found in outpatient clinics and private obstetrics and gynecology practices. In 2018, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
presented the average salary of registered nurses in these different work environments:
1. Outpatient care centers -- $79,230
2. General hospitals -- $77,730
3. Home healthcare -- $71,850
4. Private physician’s offices -- $67,790
Paths to Increase Salary
Even with the increase in pay that comes naturally with having more experience, labor and delivery nurses may discover they want to advance their careers and expand their earnings. At a minimum, labor and delivery nurses must be registered nurses. To be eligible to work, they must have earned a nursing diploma in either a 2-year associate’s program or a 4-year bachelor’s degree program and have passed the National Council Licensure Examination.
With further education and certifications, they can diversify their roles and qualify for higher salaries. Some employers will even provide financial assistance for nurses to continue their training.
Inpatient Obstetric Nursing (RNC-OB) credentials
Advance Healthcare Network’s “2018 Nursing Salary Guide” states that non-certified labor and delivery nurse salaries average $76,614 a year while certified labor and delivery nurses average $82,992 a year. When labor and delivery nurses achieve certification, it broadcasts to employers that they are effective and dedicated in their field.
In order to obtain certification for inpatient obstetric nursing, candidates must have at least 2000 hours of experience in labor and delivery nursing practice, a minimum of 2 years of experience, and pass the National Certification Corporation exam. The exam is 3 hours long and consists of 175 questions testing knowledge and competence in obstetric nursing.
Travel Nurse Licenses
As mentioned earlier, travel nurses enjoy special benefits
such as housing stipends, travel reimbursements, and health, dental, and liability insurance. Some agencies even offer referral bonuses so they can work alongside their friends while earning extra cash on the side. Although there isn’t additional training necessary to become a travel nurse, the type of nursing license one holds may limit where they can work.
The Nursing Licensure Compact (NLC) is an agreement between 25 states allowing nurses with one license to practice in multiple states. States not within the NLC, like California, Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii, require a unique license to work as a nurse there. Travel nurses can save time between contracts and money on license fees by applying for a multi-state nursing license and working within states that are part of the NLC.
Charge nurses in a labor and delivery ward have many of the same responsibilities as a labor and delivery nurse, however, they are also in charge of the other nurses. They perform managerial and supervisory duties such as delegating tasks, organizing schedules, and overseeing admissions and discharges. They can make up to $98,000 annually
Although there are no certifications required, nurses need 3 to 5 years of clinical experience before being qualified as a charge nurse. Employers may prefer candidates with certifications in basic life support, pediatric life support, advanced cardiac life support, and CPR.
Master’s Degree in Nursing
A master’s degree in nursing is required to become a nurse practitioner in obstetrics and gynecology (OGNP). OGNPs are specialized in handling high-risk pregnancy cases and are prepared to deal with special circumstances and complications. It can take 2 to 3 years to earn a Masters of Science in Nursing. However, it comes with a significant pay raise. OGNPs have an average annual salary of $88,473
Doctorate Degree in Nursing
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs open the door to greater opportunities and higher salaries. It isn’t for the faint of heart as it takes 4 to 6 years to complete. However, for studious nurses interested in delving deep into their fields it is extremely worthwhile. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2015 DNP-prepped nurse practitioners earned an average annual salary of $135,830.
With this terminal degree, DNP graduates can take greater control in directing patient treatment plans, conduct research to develop better health policies, hold public health office in local government, and even launch an independent practice.
Certified Nurse Midwife
Certified nurse midwives, or CNMs, are advanced-practice registered nurses who have completed either an MSN of DNP degree. In 2016, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the median salary for CNMs as $99,770.
CNMs take on a much more active role compared to labor and delivery nurses. Many of their responsibilities are similar to that of an OB/GYN doctor, however, they require a physician to be in the vicinity in order to carry out these tasks. In addition to delivering babies and assisting physicians with C-section births, CNMs can provide women’s healthcare checkups, counseling for family planning, and prenatal care.
The Future of Labor and Delivery Nurses
A shortage in nurses is predicted to hit in the next decade with many current nurses nearing retirement age. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 15% growth in all types of registered nurse positions over the course of 2016-2026. The prospects for labor and delivery nurses is looking particularly favorable with steadily increasing salaries over recent years and strong job security on the horizon.
A Labor of Love
If you’re considering labor and delivery nursing as a career, salary is only one piece of the puzzle. This nursing specialty can be physically and emotionally demanding, requiring quick decision-making, critical thinking, empathy, and sensitivity. The environment can quickly become stressful, but labor and delivery nurses must maintain a level head and a calm demeanor.
Despite the challenges, labor and delivery nurses have an incredibly fulfilling role. Through a collaboration with patients, family members, and other healthcare providers, they aid with bringing new lives into the world. You’d be hard pressed to find a labor and delivery nurse that claims they chose their career based solely on the salary.
If a labor and delivery nurse ever decided they wanted a change in roles, they could smoothly transition to neonatal Intensive Care Unit nursing
or pediatric nursing
. Both these specialties support mothers and their children, and according to Payscale, they both make around the same amount as labor and delivery nurses. NICU nurses earn a median annual salary of $60,375, while pediatric nurses earn a median salary of $58,628.
NICU nurses care for infants who are born prematurely or with other medical complications by administering treatments and medication prescribed by doctors. They also provide support and education for the infants’ parents.
Pediatric nurses provide general health checkups for infants, late teens, and any child aged in between. Their tasks include performing physical exams, taking urine and blood samples, measuring vital statistics, and gathering health history information. Pediatric nurses can also be found working as school nurses.
Know Your Worth
Whether you are just considering if nursing is right for you, or already logging long hours in the delivery room, it’s crucial to understand what salary to expect and what opportunities you have to increase it. Although the Bureau of Labor Statistics
reports the national average annual salary for registered nurses as $71,730, remember it’s just an average. Actual labor and delivery nurse salaries may be higher or lower depending on experience level, location, work environment, and certifications.

Aligning Public Health, Health Care, Law and Policy: Medical-Legal Partnership as a Multilevel Response to the Social Determinants of Health
Journal of Health and Biomedical Law, Vol. 8, p. 211, 2012
39 Pages Posted: 5 Jun 2012 Last revised: 30 Sep 2015
Date Written: June 5, 2012
In the wake of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), health law scholars as well as the Institute of Medicine have argued for better integration between medicine and public health goals to advance prevention and reduce health disparities. This article explores current health care, public health, legal and public policy responses to the major driver of health disparities – the social determinants of health (SDH) – and the potential for the ACA to provide mechanisms for reducing health disparities through addressing SDH. It then argues that medical-legal partnerships, which incorporate screening for unmet legal needs and the enforcement of legal rights on behalf of individual patients, families and communities into the health care setting, serve to integrate medicine and public health. Furthermore, by incorporating legal intervention into health care, medical-legal partnerships create an effective community-level mechanism for identifying and addressing systemic and policy issues which impact the health of vulnerable populations.

|Hamas vs. Israel: The Needless War
Deservedly, body and rocket count of the invasion of Gaza has received much media coverage. The carnage, however, becomes more intolerable once we delve into Israeli’s miscalculations about its relation with Hamas, its upcoming elections and the end and the beginning of a presidential cycle in the United States.
The military plans and political decision to invade Gaza were formulated much earlier than the end of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Cunningly, Israel has repeatedly claimed that it had “no choice” but to wage war on Gaza on December 27 because Hamas had broken a ceasefire, was firing rockets at Israeli civilians, and as Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni put it, Israel had “tried everything in order to avoid this military operation.”
But this claim, however, contradicts with the fact that Israel’s military and political leadership took many aggressive steps during the ceasefire that escalated a crisis with Hamas, and possibly even provoked Hamas to create a pretext for the assault. This wasn’t a war of “no choice,” but rather a very avoidable war in which Israeli actions played the major role in instigating.
Israel’s history is replete with examples of its deliberate use of violence and other provocative measures to trigger reactions in order to create a pretext for military action, and to portray its opponents as the aggressors and Israel as the victim. According to historian Zeev Maoz in his recent book, Defending the Holy Land, Israel most notably used this policy of “strategic escalation” in 1955-1956, when it launched deadly raids on Egyptian army positions to provoke Egypt’s President Nasser into violent reprisals preceding its ill-fated invasion of Egypt; in 1981-1982, when it launched violent raids on Lebanon in order to provoke Palestinian escalation preceding the Israeli invasion of Lebanon; and between 2001-2004, when Prime Minister Ariel Sharon repeatedly ordered assassinations of high-level Palestinian militants during declared ceasefires, provoking violent attacks that enabled Israel’s virtual reoccupation of the West Bank.
According to a detailed report by Barak Raviv in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the countdown to a war began, when Israel’s Defense Minister Ehud Barak started planning the current attack on Gaza with his chiefs of staff at least six months ago — even as Israel was negotiating the Egyptian brokered ceasefire with Hamas that went into effect on June 19. During the subsequent ceasefire, the report contends, the Israeli security establishment carefully gathered intelligence to map out Hamas’ security infrastructure, engaged in operational deception, and spread disinformation to mislead the public about its intentions.
Indeed, there was a genuine lull in rocket and mortar fire between June 19 and November 4, due to Hamas compliance and only sporadically violated by a small number of launchings carried out by rival Fatah and Islamic Jihad militants, largely in defiance of Hamas. According to the conservative Israeli-based Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center’s analysis of rocket and missile attacks in 2008, there were only three rockets fired at Israel in July, September, and October combined. Israeli civilians living near Gaza experienced an almost unprecedented degree of security during this period, with no Israeli casualties.
Yet despite the major lull, Israel continually raided the West Bank, arresting and frequently killing “wanted” Palestinians from June to October, which had the inevitable effect of ratcheting up pressure on Hamas to respond. Moreover, while the central expectation of Hamas going into the ceasefire was that Israel would lift the siege on Gaza, Israel only took the barest steps to ease the siege, which kept the people at a bare survival level. This policy was a clear affront to Hamas and had the inescapable effect of undermining both Hamas and popular Palestinian support for the ceasefire.
But Israel’s most provocative action, acknowledged by many now as the critical turning point that undermined the ceasefire, took place on November 4, when Israeli forces auspiciously violated the truce by crossing into the Gaza Strip to destroy what the army said was a tunnel dug by Hamas, killing six Hamas militants. Sara Roy, writing in the London Review of Books, contends this attack was “no doubt designed finally to undermine the truce between Israel and Hamas established last June.”
The Israeli breach into Gaza was immediately followed by a further provocation by Israel on November 5, when the Israeli government hermetically sealed off all ways into and out of Gaza. As a result, the UN reports that the amount of imports entering Gaza has been “severely reduced to an average of 16 truckloads per day — down from 123 truckloads per day in October and 475 trucks per day in May 2007 — before the Hamas takeover.” These limited shipments provide only a fraction of the supplies needed to sustain 1.5 million starving Palestinians.
In response, Hamas predictably claimed that Israel had violated the truce and allowed Islamic Jihad to launch a round of rocket attacks on Israel. Only after lethal Israeli reprisals killed over 10 Hamas militants in the following days did Hamas finally respond with volleys of mortars and rockets of their own. In two short weeks, Israel killed over 15 Palestinian militants, while about 120 rockets and mortars were fired at Israel, and although there were no Israeli casualties the calm had been shattered.
It was at this time that Israeli officials launched what appears to have been a coordinated media blitz to cultivate public reception for an impending conflict, stressing the theme of the “inevitability” of a coming war with Hamas in Gaza. On November 12, senior Army officials announced that war with Hamas was likely in the two months after the six-month ceasefire, baldly stating it would occur even if Hamas wasn’t interested in confrontation. A few days later, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert publicly ordered his military commanders to draw up plans for a war in Gaza, which were already well developed at the time. On November 19, according to Raviv’s report in Haaretz, the Gaza war plan was brought before Barak for final approval.
While the rhetoric of an “inevitable” war with Hamas may have only been Israeli bluster to compel Hamas into line, its actions on the ground in the critical month leading up to the official expiration of the ceasefire on December 19 only heightened the cycle of violence, leaving a distinct impression Israel had cast the die for war.
Finally, Hamas then walked right into the “inevitable war” that Israel had been preparing since the ceasefire had gone into effect in June. With many Palestinians believing the ceasefire to be meaningless, Hamas announced it wouldn’t renew the ceasefire after it expired on December 19. Hamas then stood back for two days while Islamic Jihad and Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades militants fired volleys of mortars and rockets into Israel, in the context of mutually escalating attacks. Yet even then, with Israeli threats of war mounting, Hamas imposed a 24-hour ceasefire on all missile attacks on December 21, announcing it would consider renewing the lapsed truce with Israel in the Gaza Strip if Israel would halt its raids in both Gaza and the West Bank, and keep Gaza border crossings open for supplies of aid and fuel. Israel immediately rejected its offer.
But when the Israeli Army killed three Hamas militants laying explosives near the security fence between Israel and Gaza on the evening of December 23, the Hamas military wing lashed out by launching a barrage of over 80 missiles into Israel the following day, claiming it was Israel, and not Hamas, that was responsible for the escalation.
According to Raviv, Prime Minister Olmert, and Defense Minister Barak had already met on December 18 to approve the impending war plan, but put the mission off waiting for a better pretext. By launching more than 170 rockets and mortars at Israeli civilians in the days following December 23, killing one Israeli civilian, Hamas had provided reason enough for Israel to unleash its long-planned attack on Gaza on December 27.
If Israel’s goal were simply to end rocket attacks on its civilians, it would have solidified and extended the ceasefire, which was working well, until November. Even after November, it could have addressed Hamas’ longstanding ceasefire proposals for a complete end to rocket fire on Israel, in exchange for Israel lifting its crippling 18-month siege on Gaza.
Instead, the actual targets of its assault on Gaza after December 27, which included police stations, mosques, universities, and Hamas government institutions, clearly reveal that Israel’s primary goals go far beyond providing immediate security for its citizens. Israeli spokespersons repeatedly claim that Israel’s assault isn’t about seeking to effect regime change with Hamas, but rather about creating a “new security reality” in Gaza. But that “new reality” requires Israel to use massive violence to degrade the political and military capacity of Hamas, to a point where it agrees to a ceasefire with conditions more congenial to Israel. Short of a complete reoccupation of Gaza, no amount of violence will erase Hamas from the scene.
The timing and the impetus to create a ‘new reality’ are the products of several factors unrelated to the urgency for Israel to provide security to its citizens.
First, many senior Israeli political and military leaders strongly opposed the June 19 ceasefire with Hamas and looked for opportunities to reestablish Israel’s fabled “deterrent capability” of instilling fear into its enemies. These leaders felt Israel’s deterrent capability was badly damaged as a result of their withdrawal from Gaza in 2005, and especially after the widely criticized failures in the 2006 Israeli war with Hezbollah. For this powerful group a ceasefire was at best a tactical pause before the inevitable renewal of conflict when conditions were more favorable. Immediately following Israel’s aerial assault, a New York Times article noted that Israel had been eager “to remind its foes that it has teeth” and to erase the ghost of Lebanon that has haunted it over the past two years.
A second factor was pressure surrounding the impending Israeli elections set to take place in early February. The ruling coalition, led by Barak and Livni, have been repeatedly criticized by the Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu, the former prime minister, who is leading in the polls, for not being tough enough on Hamas and rocket-fire from Gaza. This gave the ruling coalition a strong incentive to demonstrate to the Israeli people their security credentials in order to bolster their chances against the more hawkish Likud.
Third, Hamas repeatedly said it wouldn’t recognize Mahmoud Abbas as president of the Palestinian Authority after his term runs out on January 9. The looming political standoff on the Palestinian side threatens to boost Hamas and undermine Abbas, who had promoted closer security coordination with Israel and was congenial to Israeli demands for concessions on future peace proposals. One possible outcome of this assault is that Abbas will remain in power for a while longer since Hamas will be unable to mobilize its supporters in order to force him to resign.
And finally, Israel was pressed to take action now due to its sense of the American political timeline. The Bush administration rarely exerted a constraint on Israel and would certainly stand by in its waning days, while Barack Obama would not likely want to begin his presidency with a major confrontation with Israel. The Washington Post quoted a Bush administration official saying that Israel struck in Gaza “because they want it to be over before the next administration comes in. They can’t predict how the next administration will handle it. And this is not the way they want to start with the new administration.” Israeli supporters have already tied up the hands of the president-elect by securing supportive resolutions from both chambers of the US Congress. Rami Khoury stated in a recent Daily Star piece that while ” Obama has stayed away from the war, but they brought the war to him – shoving it down his throat as his first pre-incumbency lesson in how American presidents must behave with respect to Israel’s desires if they wish to remain in power.”
At the same time, critics of Hams will argue that Hamas continued to callously sacrifice its fellow Palestinian citizens, as well as Israeli civilians, on the altar of maintaining its pyrrhic resistance credentials and its myopic preoccupation with revenge, and fell into many self-made traps of its own. There had been growing international pressure on Israel to ease its siege and a major increase in creative and nonviolent strategies drawing attention to the plight of Palestinians such as the arrival of humanitarian relief convoys off of Gaza’s coast in the past months, but now Gaza lies in ruins.
But as the vastly more powerful actor holding nearly all the cards in this conflict, the war in Gaza was ultimately Israel’s choice. And for all this bloodshed and violence, Israel must be held accountable. The bloody history of the Israel/ Palestine conflict did not begin with Hamas’s Qassams. It began in 1948 with the dispossession and subsequent exodus of millions of Palestinians. No amount of Israeli force will quell Palestinians’ determination to end their misery by ending Israel’s occupation and to this goal, the world must commit itself.
With the American political establishment firmly and blindly behind Israel’s attack, and Obama’s foreign policy team heavily weighted with pro-Israel insiders like Dennis Ross and Hillary Clinton, any efforts to hold Israel accountable in the United States will depend upon American citizens mobilizing a major grassroots effort behind a new foreign policy that will not tolerate any violations of international law, including those by Israel, and will immediately work towards ending Israel’s siege of Gaza and ending Israel’s occupation.

PlasticSmart award for St Patrick’s Primary School in Glenariff
St Patrick’s Primary School in Glenariff is celebrating its new PlasticSmart status.
It received the recognition from Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council after staff and pupils demonstrated an ongoing commitment to cutting down their reliance on single use plastic items.
To mark the occasion, the school enjoyed a visit from the Mayor where they showcased their ongoing good work.
Alongside waste free packed lunches made without cling film and tin foil, pupils are encouraged to use refillable drinks bottles while staff are encouraged to avoid disposable coffee cups and single use bags.
Speaking after her visit, the Mayor Councillor Joan Baird OBE said: “The future of our environment depends on our young people so it is very encouraging to see how the whole school community in Glenariff is working together to make a positive difference. I was delighted to hear about their ongoing PlasticSmart commitment and I would like to offer my congratulations to everyone who has contributed towards this important accolade.”
As part of their Eco Schools project, Primary 4, 5 and 6 pupils carried out a litter pick at Waterfoot beach where they removed 14 bags of rubbish which included a large amount of plastic items and cans.
School Principal Mrs Roisin McCarry said: “We have been working hard on becoming more environmentally friendly and following the success of our whole school Waste Free Lunch challenge, the children started to talk about other ways of reducing our use of single use plastics, particularly as our milk cartons come with plastic straws which we use once and throw away. The School Council came up with the idea of writing to Dale Farm, the Straw Company and our local Council to highlight this issue. We are delighted that the Mayor has taken such an interest in our campaign. The children were very excited to know that Councillor Baird was taking time out of her very busy schedule to visit our school and talk about this venture. It provided a great boost to our efforts.
Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council’s new ‘Plastic Smart’ campaign is asking everyone to avoid single-use plastics. With the aim of becoming a ‘PlasticSmart’ Borough, Council is asking community groups, churches, businesses and residents to reduce single-use plastics such as:
- water bottles - use a refillable bottle instead
- disposable coffee cups - use a ‘keep cup’ for take-away coffee
- plastic straws - washable stainless steel straws are available
- disposable wipes - use a cloth
- plastic bags - use a bag for life
- plastic film or wrap - use a lunch box instead or buy fruit and veg loose when you can
For further information on how you can become ‘Plastic Smart’ please Email firstname.lastname@example.org or call 028 2766 0200.

The role of women in Afghanistan is an unjust and unreasonable position in which they are continuously denied many freedoms and rights. The women in the story engage reader’s interest and feelings; their personalities are almost real and existent. It is amazing that Hosseini, a man, could have so much insight into the feelings of women at particular situations. Housseini positively depicts the persona of Afghan women and their ability to endure gender inequality, denied education and Taliban rule. Khalid Hosseini’s “A Thousand Splendid Suns”, is an epic tale of two young Afghan women; Laila and Mariam. Although they differ greatly in age and routine, they share the same heartache, pain and sorrow of living in a country ruined by political oppression and war.
In the story “A Thousand Splendid Suns” A simile is used; “ Learn this now and learn it well, my daughter: Like a compass needle that points north, a man’s accusing finger always finds a woman. Always. You remember that, Mariam.” (pg. 7)
This simile is effective in which it paints a literal image of a compass, and how men in Afghanistan, in Nana’s opinion have overpowered women. The harshness of the simile exemplifies Nana’s detrimental character and the persuasive impact she has on her daughter. Than there’s symbolism “On the bus ride home from the doctor, the strangest thing was happening to Mariam. Everywhere she looked, she saw bright colors: on the drab, gray concrete apartments, on the tin-roofed, open-fronted stores, in the muddy water flowing in the gutters. It was as though a rainbow had melted into her eyes.” (pg. 87)
At this time in the novel, Mariam is finally encountering a happy and positive experience. Her pregnancy literally has her glowing to the point that she is seeing the world around her as a beautiful place. The bright colours are effective in representing the euphoria Mariam bathes in.
This just shows that there really is a struggle for women rights in the book, seems like some women can’t even enjoy being pregnant or let alone enjoy life.
As the book continues there’s so many problems within the world for women.“Treacherous daughters did not deserve to be mothers and this was just punishment.” (pg. 93) The alliteration in this passage is relevant because it reinforces the fact that Mariam is very upset and plagued with guilt and grief that she is unable to deal with. The alliteration is written in such a way that Mariam’s thoughts are expressed blatantly and without emotion. The way in which this is stated almost has a snide perception, as this is very fitting to Mariam’s self doubt and lack of confidence that is later intensified throughout the novel. Symbolism again “And when the rockets began to rain down on Kabul, people ran for cover. Mammy did too, literally. She changed into black again, went to her room, shut the curtains, and pulled the blanket over her head. “ (pg. 172)
Throughout this section Mammy’s change in clothing often represents political and emotional destruction the people of Afghanistan are experiencing. In this passage specifically, Mammy wears black and essentially shuts herself from the outer world, which can also be an expression of the withdrawal and avoidance she undergoes as a result of war. Struggle just continues from here and doesn’t really get better at all.
A Thousand Splendid Suns displays various emotions given from the people during the time of the Soviet-Afghan War and the era of the Taliban. The author takes the reader back in time to fictional characters like Mariam and Laila who have developed a strong wall of endurance by the time of Taliban rule. Women were inferior to men, causing tension in society, and a precise representation of this was successfully demonstrated in the novel by the author’s use of conflict and setting. Through plot, the author is able to demonstrate the violation of human rights, especially to women and children of Afghanistan. A Thousand Splendid Suns allows the reader to thoroughly comprehend the tragic struggle of citizens of Afghanistan during the Soviet-Afghan war through the utilization of various literary elements.

Like BMW published the “Inside Future” which showed multiple new technologies: AirTouch, Humanized Sound Effect Equipment, and big foldable screen.
Point five: VR keeping simmering
In 2015 CES, VR was popular and became the one of the main roles in 2017 CES. What is notable is that many manufactures brought AR glasses at the same time. Besides, both Qualcomm and Intel spared much efforts in AR/VR, so better vision experiences are much likely to realize in the future. Lenovo showed the first VR helmet which was equipped with Windows Holographic platform, featured lightweight and portable. While ODG introduced tow Virtual Reality R8 and R9. The latest Qualcomm processor Snapdragon 835 will be available soon, which is compatible with both Android and other fields like photographing and virtual reality. It is clear that all manufacturers are trying their best to seek new breakthroughs in VR hardware. VR industry obviously became an independent field and sure can be more popular in the future.
Point six: accessories expansion
Electronics also have ecological chain which is based on creations of accessories. For example, when smartphone market comes to the saturation level, cell phone accessories become the creation points. I face, accessories has become an unstoppable tendency. Blu-ray launched Halos which consists of Halos APP, Halos Cloud and accessory connection layer and can support IOS, Android, Windows, and Mac0S, also compatible with accessories of cellphones, tables, and cars. The famous Apple computer together with IOS and Herge introduced the docking stations for 2016 MacBook Pro. As for car accessories, famous brands like PC, Belkin, BESTEK, also showed their advanced tech gadget. BESTEK is well-known by its power inverter. In 2017 CES, BESTEK showed its latest voltage converting technology.
Point seven: the wearable
The wearable has been a hot topic in CES for a long time. In 2016, many manufacturers cooperated with sports brands in order to make products closer to real life. Samsung and Under Armour co-worked for some related wearable items to provide better fitness experience for people. Famous sports shoes brand New Balance cooperated with Intel and launched a smart watch named Run IQ which was designed with 1.39inch AMOLED screen, heart rate monitor, gyroscope, accelerometer and 512MB RAM +4GB storage. What’s more, New Balance and Jabra launched sports Bluetooth earphone Pace IQ which can be paired with Run IQ.
Consumer electronics made remarkable achievements in 2016 and will make greater breakthroughs in 2017.

What's the truth about trust and how can it enable and empower us to be the best we can and unleash the talent around us? Future Talent 2018 speaker, Lord Chris Holmes, explains.
You can’t trust journalists, you can’t trust politicians and you certainly can’t trust lawyers. But enough about my three chosen professions!
It was a pleasure to speak at Future Talent 2017, particularly on the subject of trust. If you are to present in front of hundreds of people, you need trust, even in front of an audience as lovely as the Future Talent folk. By standing up and speaking, I was putting myself in a vulnerable position: without certainty of success or even survival. But it is this engendering of trust, through making oneself vulnerable, that is the key to shared success.
Trust in other species
It’s hard enough to make yourself vulnerable to other people, but imagine putting yourself in the hands – or paws – of another species. This is exactly my situation working with my guide dog, Lottie, and her predecessor. Imagine my first day of training, with my firstdog: I didn’t know her; she didn’t know me and was highly, and rightly, suspicious. “Who is this fool holding my harness?” I thought I heard her doggy brain saying. And as for me: I’m really nervous.
We walk towards a busy road, the sound of HGVs growing louder and louder, my palms sweating, heart pounding. And yet, with every atom of my being wanting to slow down, to stop, to drop the harness, I have to push on – not just tentatively, but with a show of external confidence and lightness. If I don’t appear confident, my dog won’t be empowered to do her job.
When she’s trained, when the relationship is at its best, it becomes the most incredible partnership – two, as one, bonded by trust, each confident in the other, fused through vulnerability and the mutual understanding that develops from this.
Getting to this stage involved me understanding the different ways in which she, and now Lottie, see – or I should say sniff – the world and how I needed to operate to enable my dogs to work at their best; I had to learn what their behaviours meant and what environment I needed to create, at home and work, to gain trust.
Trust in relationships
So what does trust mean in the world of sport? From an early age, I learned that it was all about relationships.
Why did I trust my first coach? He had never been a swimmer, and yet I trusted him with my sporting dreams. Why? He was introducing new techniques that had never been tested in the UK before. They were radical, revolutionary and risky.
The reason for my trust in him, and that of the entire team, was simple; it was based on clear, identifiable, verifiable behaviours. Our coach was reliable, open, communicative, collaborative and experienced. Crucially, he was also putting himself on the line so that we were bound in a joint endeavour; if we failed, he failed with us.
Giving trust to others
Similarly, when I was a team captain, I had to create a culture that would enable trust to be given; it was not built or brought. Without question, the most essential element of this culture was inclusion. Approaches are worthless without it.
I led a team comprising swimmers from all nations of Great Britain, of different ages, disabilities and disciplines, all needing to trust in each other. I knew I had to do things differently to allow diversity to flourish and become a genuine strength. We needed open meetings, in which everyone had a voice and everyone’s voice was heard. There’s no magic, it’s just a matter of identifying, agreeing and executing the basics – excellently.
It was this same inclusive approach that I took into my work at London 2012. We could only make the Games great if everyone believed we were worthy of their trust, not just to make it happen, but to do it in a way that was representative of our modern diverse, 21st century Britain. We wanted to put on a golden Games, and to enable this through being seen as trustworthy through inclusion.
And the outcome of the nation’s trust in us? A London 2012 Games delivered by incredible people; 20% BAME; 23% previously not in employment; a mix of ex-offenders, young people, older people, people from every part of our diverse land.
Trust creates freedom
Our approach was based solidly on the principle of ‘teach, train, test – and trust’. What did that trust mean in practical terms? Confidence in everyone, freedom for people to act within their roles, to speak up and to innovate.
Without trust in our people, there would have been no great Games. As leaders, we couldn’t be everywhere; we couldn’t be involved in every decision. With the Olympic Games, 26 World Championships happening simultaneously, as well as the Paralympic Games: we couldn’t be there at all times, we had to trust in others.
Difference matters so much and diversity makes the difference. Whether in sport, business or public policy, trust in different people, enable others to recognise you and your organisations as being worthy of trust. Become diverse or die: it’s as simple as that.

Between the Lines: Life As It
Words hold magic for Daneen Wardrop. They seed light and life. The professor of English at Western Michigan University is the author of seven books, three of which are poetry. Her newest collection, Life as It (Ashland Poetry Press, 2016), won the Richard Snyder Publication Prize in 2015 and the Gold IPPY Award in Poetry in 2017.
“Writers…we can’t help ourselves, we have it bad,” Wardrop says. As a child she would create her own newspapers, writing stories and even illustrating them to look like print photographs. The first-grader would go from door to door in her neighborhood, selling her homemade newspapers for a penny a copy.
“In fourth grade, I cut out these inspirational sayings that were printed in the corner of our newspaper and saved them in a bag,” Wardrop says. “I think that may have been my introduction to more poetic language.”
She’s come a long way since clipping newspapers.
Wardrop’s poetry collection, Life As It, was one of about 600 entries in the 2015 Richard Snyder competition. Previous collections include Cyclorama (2015) and The Odds of Being (2007). Wardrop has also won the Robert H. Winner Award from the Poetry Society of America, the Seattle Review Bentley Prize, and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in Poetry.
“If there’s any theme that runs through all my books,” says Wardrop, “it is the women’s voices, the maternal, even when it is men talking.”
The poems in Cyclorama were inspired by the art and history of the American Civil War. Wardop won the 2014 Poets Out Loud Prize for that collection, which sometimes describes historical figures, including nurses, slaves, immigrants, and female soldiers. Other characters in them are imaginary, but always intimate. In The Odds of Being, Wardop writes about her delight in a new, adopted daughter.
Life As It is comprised of prose poems — poems written without the traditional line breaks but with the same lyrical qualities of poetry: heightened imagery, and compactness.
“Prose poems are often referred to as postcard poems,” Wardrop says. “I like what a prose poem can do, the pressure it creates to condense into a block form. I would write a poem, and I could see that the lines were stilted. When I put it into a prose format, it would really bring it out. It’s a format that keeps me honest.”
Wardrop has taught American literature at Western Michigan University since 1990. She came to WMU soon after earning her PhD at the University of Virginia. She gives a nod to her colleagues and fellow poets Nancy Eimers and Bill Olsen as ongoing sources of inspiration and encouragement, and to the Kalamazoo community which, Wardop says, is so rich in the arts.

Bitcoin Halving: Everything You Need to Know in 5 Minutes
Bitcoin Halving: What and Why
In May 2020, Bitcoin is expected to experience its third halving in history. Bitcoin halving refers to the halving of Bitcoin block rewards, which occurs once every 210,000 blocks created (approximately every 4 years). Block reward refers to the amount of Bitcoin received by miners after they successfully validate a new block.
The rationale of Bitcoin halving stems from the currency design of Bitcoin. In the email thread between Satoshi Nakamoto and Mike Hearn, Nakamoto suggested that the total supply of Bitcoin is capped at 21 million. This is opposite to the inflationary nature of fiat currencies in which their supply is controlled by central banks.
Figure 1: Snapshot of Bitcoin Network
Source: Bitcoinblockhalf.com, Data as of May 7 2020
It is expected that all Bitcoins will be mined approximately by the year 2140 based on the following protocol design of Bitcoin:
1) The target of 10-minute block intervals;
2) Bitcoin halving mechanism; and
3) Block reward starts with 50 and reaches 0 after continuous halving events.
Figure 2: Bitcoin Inflation vs Time
When Bitcoins in circulation reach its maximum supply, miners will no longer receive block rewards and only receive transaction fees from users as rewards. It is noteworthy that Bitcoin’s maximum supply can be changed if the changes are approved by the economic majority.
Implication of Past Bitcoin Halvings
Bitcoin block rewards started with 50 since its inception in 2009. Bitcoin experienced two halvings in 2012 and 2016 which the current block reward is 12.5 BTC. The block reward will be halved as 6.25 BTC after the third halving.

What does Bitcoin halving mean for traders, miners and mining manufacturers?
The past Bitcoin halvings have been indicated as a positive signal to Bitcoin price. In theory, assuming Bitcoin demand stays constant, as each Bitcoin halving slows down the issuance of Bitcoin, Bitcoin in circulation will become scarcer over time and the scarcity drives up the Bitcoin price.
The Bitcoin community was unaware of the impact brought by the first Bitcoin halving in 2012, and the Bitcoin price rose almost 80x a year after (See Figure 4). The 2016 Bitcoin halving was highly anticipated by the community and the price rise was less substantial than the first halving.

Figure 5: Changes in Bitcoin Price after Second Bitcoin Halving

The impact of third Bitcoin halving on price is uncertain as it can be driven by the following factors (See Figure 6).
Figure 6: Possible Key Drivers on Bitcoin Price at 2020 Bitcoin Halving
Source: Blockgeeks, Blockchain.News Data
Miners will receive 50% less Bitcoin block rewards after each halving. From the previous Bitcoin halvings, Bitcoin hashrate and mining profitability resulted in an initial drop and recover after a few months (See Figures 7 and 8).
Figure 7: Bitcoin Halving on Hashrate
Figure 8: Bitcoin Halving on Mining Profitability (USD Day for 1TH/S)
The hash rate of Bitcoin hovers near all-time high (123.28m TH/S) and currently stands at 119.472m TH/S. Network difficulty increased 1.4% on May 5 and reached 16.105 t. For the third Bitcoin halving, Bitmex predicted that the hashrate may decline by 30-35% after the halving.
Figure 9: Total Hash Rate of Bitcoin ahead of 2020 Bitcoin Halving
Mining manufacturers usually release new mining models ahead of Bitcoin halving, which improved efficiency enables miners to optimize their earnings. For example, Bitmain announced a new Antminer S19 and S19 pro in February. As the main competitor of Bitmain, Canaan Creative announced its Bitcoin miner Avalonminer A10 in late March.

There is a delightful section in the book The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame.
Though purported to be a children’s book, it speaks to the heart of life. One day two of the main characters, Mole and Ratty, are travelling along a road in search of their wayward friend Toad. Mole starts to lag behind, he can smell something utterly familiar, everything in him is drawn to he knows not what.
Eventually he sits on a rock and cries because he realises he has heard the call of his home and no amount of pushing himself or reasoning will move him on.
Ratty, a good friend indeed who had been travelling on ahead, comes back and inquires about the nature of his distress.
Mole simply blurts out that he can “smell home”. He can hear it calling and he has to go there. Ratty entirely understands and the direction of their journey changes.
They must follow this innate call, they must find home. And they do, with wonderful results.
For centuries men and women of every kind have known that call too. They have “smelt home”. It is a call speaking within of potential happiness, that sends one in the direction of “one knows not what” and “who knows who”, that captures one’s whole attention and won’t let go; a call that holds us and reveals to us the only thing that matters — love.
And “love is indeed a many splendoured thing” as an old song used to say. God knows all about it, since He Himself is love, and it is He who calls.
If we are in touch, we will find deep within each of us something of that call. We get into touch with it through prayer, through things that are said to us, through what we read, though events that come across our path. We seem to know ourselves and our potential with a new clarity and we get a sense of who is calling. Our life has a purpose and a meaning even if not clear.
If the call is heard right, then be prepared; it will cost everything, but deny the call you cannot. You can try, but it will linger on your life as insistently as the sun beckons you into the day, and carry the lifelong refrain, “It might have been.”
We are all called by love toward love and there are many roads. For our purposes here I want to concentrate on just one of those roads, the Benedictine Monastic Road as lived by the Benedictine nuns of Jamberoo. Who are we?
We are ordinary people, from many and varied backgrounds who have all heard a call addressed personally to each of us. We came not sure of what responding to this call would mean.
We knew it would involve early morning prayer (4.30 am), that we would not be leaving the monastery except for essential things, that our families and friends would be visiting us, and that we would not be visiting them except in cases of extreme illness.
We knew that we would meet seven times a day for the Liturgy of the Hours, and that there would be a time for personal prayer as well.
We knew that we would live and work with a community of like-minded people who had vowed themselves to the only search that really matters — the search for God.
Like Mole we had been captivated by Someone stronger than ourselves, by the sense of “home”, of God, by the possibility of a purpose-filled life.
Yet it is only with the passing of time and the lived reality of giving ourselves day by day to the unknown, that we came to understand what God had in mind in calling us.
We came to see that by embracing a life of deep love, silence, solitude, prayer and work, by our apparent being cut off from the world by our life of enclosure, that we were actually meeting God and His much loved world.
We began to know that this life was not lived for ourselves but for every lost soul that will ever walk or crawl upon this earth.
That we, in responding to the Call, had actually chosen to take the place of all mankind before God; that we had taken up residence at the centre of people’s pain, the place where, known or unknown, God is closest.
No drug addict, no criminal, no-one is exempt from the prayer and unseen life that the Benedictine nun lives with God. We came to understand that we, ordinary sinful people, enter into real communion with God and in time have come to know Him in ways we could never have imagined.
We are like trees that take in carbon dioxide and quietly turn it into oxygen. Benedictine nuns make a life form with God, of changing the carbon dioxide of pain within the world into the oxygen of love.
This road may be exacting from time to time, but for the one called, the one who has “smelt home”, all is joy.

KORONADAL CITY, South Cotabato – The SOCCSKARGEN Regional Development Outlook was presented to development partners during the Dual Training System Forum hosted by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) 12 on November 12, 2020 via videoconference.
“As we move from limiting COVID-19 cases through quarantine implementations, we will now focus on improving and establishing health facilities to gradually open the economy,” NEDA XII Regional Director Teresita Socorro C. Ramos said.
The region’s development outlook as presented by RD Ramos highlighted the region’s vision of becoming an agri-industrial hub and eco-tourism center in Southern Philippines, guided by the six (6) principles of the SOCCSKSARGEN Regional Development Plan (RDP) 2017-2022 namely, volunteerism, sustainable development, inclusivity towards partnership building, gender and development, population and development, and resiliency.
The region aims to improve inter and intra-regional connectivity with its neighboring regions which include the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), Northern Mindanao Region, and Davao Region under its Sustainable Agri-Industrial Development Strategy (SAIDS).
Major challenges faced by the region include high poverty incidence, high losses in agricultural output due to disease outbreaks and disasters, increasing cases in HIV/AIDS and teenage pregnancy, peace and order situations, and environmental degradation in protected areas.
To address these challenges, corresponding strategies have been identified which include the implementation of Urban Infrastructure Master Plans, enforcement of environment protection/preservation-related laws and policies, advocacies on reproductive health and upgrading of health facilities, and the implementation of Executive Order (EO) 70, otherwise known as the Whole-Of-Nation Approach in Attaining Inclusive and Sustainable Peace, Creating a National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, and Directing the Adoption of a National Peace Framework.
These initiatives, however, now take into consideration adjustments for the new normal as the region’s development partners realign their programs and projects towards addressing the COVID-19 pandemic.
Such adjustments include the provision of skills training and employment to labor demands emerging from the pandemic as well as retrofitting policies in the delivery of services like in the education sector.
RD Ramos added that transitions have to be made from risk avoidance to risk management, as well as improvements in hospital care capacity, the opening of a sufficient number of safe public transport, and allowing the incremental opening of businesses to restart the economy while still maintaining strict adherence to safety and health protocols.
The SOCCSKSARGEN Regional Recovery Plan has been integrated into the updated SOCCSKARGEN Regional Development Plan (RPD) 2017-2022 and supports the national government’s action towards recovery known as the Recharge PH program. (Joseph Didius L. Clave, DRD-NEDA XII)

Last night, CNN and Facebook hosted the first of six scheduled Democratic primary presidential debates, featuring Hillary Clinton, the long-time frontrunner, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who's emerged as her main challenger, Martin O'Malley, who hopes the debate will give him a Carly Fiorinia style bump, and two other candidates, Jim Webb and Lincoln Chafee, who like O'Malley are also polling in the low single digits.
Unfortunately for O'Malley and the other also-rans, Bernie Sanders appears to have won the debate. He won the post-debate Facebook poll and did best in a number of post-debate focus groups. Professional political observers say Hillary Clinton won the debate, but they seem to be alone in that assertion. Bernie Sanders was also the most Googled candidate for most of the debate. His campaign says he raised $1.3 million in the four hours after the debate ended.
What did Sanders say at the debate? Most of the same stuff he's been saying for years, if not decades. Asked early on whether being a "democratic socialist" might hurt, Sanders said it wouldn't once Americans learn what "democratic socialism" is. He didn't quite define it, so much as he pointed to places like Sweden and Denmark as examples ("We're not Denmark," Clinton said after being asked if anyone else, like Sanders, rejects capitalism).
Sanders' invocation of Scandinavian countries to defend his "democratic socialist" label is ignorant at best and disingenuous at worst. Regardless, it's not based on reality. Sweden hasn't been a socialist standard-bearer anywhere but in the uninformed minds of American leftists for some time, while Denmark's also tried deregulation to boost their economy. The welfare states in Scandinavian countries, such as they are, have helped keep birthright citizenship off the table. None of the Scandinavian countries have it. And while Sanders says he wants to bring America's undocumented immigrants "out of the shadows," he has not expressed support for any reforms that would make it easier for immigrants to come to the country legally moving forward.
Does it matter that Sweden and Denmark aren't as socialist as they once were, and as American leftists imagine? Probably not. It hardly even matters to Sanders that the failure of socialism in Sweden and Denmark helped bring on neoliberal reforms. Sanders, in his incredible and largely unprecedented rise in the polls, has found the missing element that's kept previous potential self-identified "democratic socialist" candidates from doing well in the polls—he offers free things not just for America's poorest and neediest, a social safety net not just for those who need it, but for every American, no matter how firmly they're entrenched in the middle class, or even if they're rich.
Asked at the CNN debate why Sanders wants to pay for Trump's children's college education, the candidate responded that people like Trump would pay higher taxes. Yet richer people are, generally, better at accessing services and resources, private and government, than poorer people. That's why they tend to be richer. So if income inequality is a problem for Sanders, offering free stuff across class lines is likely only to exacerbate it. But it also translates well in polling.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has pledged Australian support for a global bid to vaccinate 70 per cent of the world’s population amid signs he could extend domestic production of the AstraZeneca vaccine to boost exports to countries in need.
Mr Morrison is signing up to a plan from the world’s biggest economies to scale up vaccine production and protect more people as criticism mounts that wealthier nations are rolling out booster shots while millions of others are yet to receive first doses.
The pledge comes with an Australian call for stronger powers for the World Health Organisation to investigate health disasters, including sending inspectors into countries without their prior approval.
“We all agree there’s no higher priority than vaccinating people all over the world with safe and effective vaccines,” Mr Morrison told the G20 summit in Rome on Saturday.
“I strongly support the G20’s commitment to vaccinate 70 per cent of the world’s population by mid-2022. Australia will do our part.”
Mr Morrison’s call for more power for the WHO included a warning about the need for the global health authority to be more independent and transparent, although he did not mention China and its sharp criticism of Australia for wanting an inquiry into the source of the coronavirus.
“We not only need to end this pandemic, we also need to make sure we don’t have another one,” Mr Morrison said.
“That means identifying the origins of COVID-19. This is not about blame, but understanding how it came about.”
Amnesty International estimates that G20 countries represent 62 per cent of the world’s population but have gained 82 per cent of the COVID-19 vaccines produced so far, while only 3.1 per cent of people in low-income countries have received at least one dose.
The federal government chose vaccine producer CSL to make 50 million AstraZeneca doses at its Melbourne facility and has used some of this production to help neighbours in the Asia-Pacific.
However, The Sun-Herald and The Sunday Age have been told by industry sources discussions have been held between CSL, AstraZeneca and the federal government about temporarily shutting down the Melbourne production line to produce flu vaccines and antivenom in November and December.
The line would then restart in January and produce another 25 million doses to complete the contract with the federal government for 50 million doses. These doses would be for Australia and its regional neighbours.
CSL has previously flagged production would finish in January but the factory has, to date, produced a little over 20 million doses. A spokesman for CSL said the company had no plans to produce any more of the vaccine beyond the initial contract of 50 million doses.
The government has promised to send 60 million doses to people overseas by the end of 2022, on top of $130 million for the COVAX consortium to help countries in need and $623 million so far on vaccines being shipped to the region.
Labor has called on the federal government to extend its vaccine contract with AstraZeneca so the target of 60 million jabs for the region can be met more quickly.
Foreign affairs spokeswoman Penny Wong and health spokesman Mark Butler said with low vaccination rates in Papua New Guinea and Indonesia – which have fully vaccinated just 2 per cent and 33 per cent of their populations respectively – there was “a dire health risk to people in Australia’s neighbourhood”.
In addition, they highlighted the risk of new, and more contagious variants emerging in unvaccinated populations close to Australia and “a risk to Australia’s geopolitical interests by undermining our reputation for being a good neighbour by not extending sufficient support in our region’s time of need”.
“The remaining vaccines being produced by CSL should be diverted to the region,” the opposition said, “so that vaccines can be provided to Indonesia and others urgently” and the contract with CSL should be extended “to fulfil Mr Morrison’s promise of 60 million [for the region] doses quickly and with a vaccine that can be easily distributed”.
To date, Australia has committed 40 million doses to our region and another 20 million in a partnership with UNICEF, which has called on Australia to ramp up its COVID-19 aid.
About 5.8 million doses have been sent to neighbouring countries including Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, Indonesia and Vietnam so far.
A spokesman for DFAT said Australia was allocating around 800,000 AstraZeneca vaccine doses for sharing with regional partners each week and had contributed $130 million to the COVAX vaccine-sharing facility.
Neither the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade nor the Health Department responded to questions about whether the government would extend or renew the contract to manufacture AstraZeneca at the CSL plant in Melbourne.
University of Sydney infectious diseases paediatrician Robert Booy said AstraZeneca was the most widely-used vaccine in the world and cost about $5 per double dose. Australia should be sending more of the vaccine to our near-neighbours.
“It has a cost-benefit ratio which in the context of epidemics and pandemics strongly favours vaccination,” he said.
“PNG is in crisis, hospitals are overflowing, people are dying for a lack of medical care and the vaccination rate is well under 5 per cent. We can help by way of assisting with infrastructure, vaccine supplies, medication supplies, oxygen supplies and vaccine delivery.”
Of the 280 million vaccine doses procured by Indonesia to date, 219 million have been the Chinese-made Sinovac and 8.4 million have been the Sinopharm, also made in China, with the balance of about 53 million being Western vaccines including Moderna, Pfizer and AstraZeneca.
Indonesia has a population of about 270 million people and needs to acquire at least another 200 million doses. Australia has already pledged to donate 3.5 million doses of AstraZeneca to Jakarta. The country has reported more than four million infections and close to 150,000 deaths, but the true figures are likely much higher.
Professor Zubairi Djoerban, the head of the Indonesia Medical Association’s COVID-19 taskforce, expressed disappointment about Canberra’s decision to stop making the vaccine at CSL.
“Indonesia still needs a lot of vaccines in the future,” he said
“We also plan to do the third shot next year. So Australia’s decision to stop the production is deeply regretted because many countries outside Australia still need them.”
Lowy Institute South-East Asia program director Ben Bland said, “it would be good for Australia to be more ambitious, that would always be well-received in the region”.
“Scott Morrison did promise 10 million extra doses for ASEAN countries by mid-2022 this week and that’s positive,” he said. “When you compare the population of Australia to the number of doses promised, if you are giving away twice as many as your population, that’s good.
“But, as a wealthy developed nation with the capacity to manufacture more vaccines, and a stated aim of deepening ties with south-east Asia, Australia should be thinking even more boldly.“

If you’re like me, then you’re coming to lofty concepts like ‘Knowledge Management’ through a technology lense: you’re a practitioner from an IT background and you’ve been tasked with addressing a business challenge you feel is much bigger than your abilities or experience.
You’re not alone: for all the big business talk about the knowledge economy, managing intangible assets (i.e. the knowledge in employees’ brains) and creating value by hiring the best people and giving them great tools, remarkably few organizations use experienced KM practitioners to lead KM projects. More often than not, it’s someone from IT who has to figure it out.
I’m going to assume – for the sake of this post – that you (like me, when I started working in this field a few years ago) are full of good intentions and curious about what knowledge management is. I’m also going to assume that your focus is practical and that you need to get things done. All you’re looking for is to learn some basic business concepts related to your KM/intranet project – concepts that’ll help you
- Talk the talk
- Provide some business context to your project
- Prioritize features to meet your actual business objectives
- Understand what people will, and won’t, do in an intranet, and why.
Organizations that are part of the ‘knowledge economy’ (anything service-oriented, examples include: financial services, telecommunications, software, consulting, etc.) face an important issue today: their success is dependent on the people working for them, and the information and processes these people are able to access in order to do their work. ‘Information work’ of this kind is characterized by
- Solving challenges that are unique to a situation or customer
- Solving different challenges in rapid succession (i.e. context-switching)
- Applying creativity to solving business challenges
- Rendering great customer service quickly and efficiently
- Producing effective documents, quickly and reliably
- Working with data from a variety of sources (systems, websites, files) and transforming it into ‘meaning’ that can be actioned.
I’m sure this list could be much longer, but maybe we can start with these items. They establish a basic tenet: information work isn’t necessarily about repetitive tasks (at least not repetitive physical tasks), but about bringing intelligence and creativity into the workplace to create economic value.
The value of an organization is determined by how well its people capture, retrieve and use information in the execution of their tasks. What do these terms mean? Let’s define them quickly:
- Capturing information: When a task is done for the first time, information about how it is done should be captured. This could be a process document, a customer service record, an entry in a knowledge base or a blog entry. When someone improves a task (re-designs it) or solves a specific problem, improvements and solutions should be captured (written down, recorded, captured somehow). All of these bits of captured knowledge should somehow be related to one another so that they can be seen in context.
- Retrieving information: When information workers are faced with performing a task (either repetitive or unique), they can search or browse for previously captured information about the task. They use structured or unstructured searches to find pertinent information, retrieve that information, hopefully understand it (this means the information needs to be captured in a way that makes it usable) and act on it.
- Using information: It requires an ‘information worker mindset’ to apply retrieved information, on the fly, to solving business problems or servicing customers. I would argue that this is the same mindset that also captures information for retrieval and use. It is characterized by a fundamental understanding that ‘taking out’ and ‘putting in’ are related, and that both contribute equally to business value and are therefore equally necessary.
Together, these three high-level activities are the defining factors of a knowledge organization. Their respective effectiveness directly translates into KM success.
It should now be pretty clear where knowledge management systems (intranets, BI applications, CRM systems, etc.) need to focus. Systems can make capturing information easier, but cannot bring about a culture shift that’ll make an organization’s employees want to capture knowledge. Systems can make retrieving information significantly more efficient (search, information architecture, notifications, etc.). Systems cannot really help employees use information better, but they can certainly provide the information in a usable context to make its application as easy as possible.
Knowledge management intranets therefore need to support the activities of information workers. In the next few posts in this series, I’ll look to explore each of these concepts (capture, retrieve, use) in the context of a variety of Microsoft technologies (Office, SharePoint, etc.). This will illustrate my points practically and provide implementation examples at the same time. I look forward to your feedback and thoughts.

If you aren’t giving engineers a leading role in your organization, Ken Auletta, The New Yorker magazine columnist and author of Googled: The End of the World as We Know It, thinks you’re putting your organization at peril. “I’m not saying that every executive should be an engineer,” he says, “but it’s insane to have a business in this digital age without an engineer at your elbow.” In an interview with CO-OP Financial Services’ Bill Prichard, Auletta argues that technology will likely determine your organization’s future viability. Not every credit union leader is going to agree. Credit unions, one might argue, are not technology companies. They don’t run on gadgetry or novelty. Credit unions are founded on human principles, and they run on the power of human intellect and interaction. At the same time, consider how technology is changing our lives. Ten years ago, you consulted a paper map to find an unknown location. A few years back you might have “Mapquested” the same information. Today, millions of iPhone users couldn’t find their own dry cleaners without GPS. Nostalgic for college? Find out what your old roommate is doingright now on Facebook or Twitter. Download books to your iPad or Kindle, learn how to unclog your sink on YouTube, get the dish on the new pizza joint down the street on Yelp. These technologies don’t merely exist: They’re in play – and they’ve changed the way we live our lives. Why, then, would consumers settle for anything less than 24×7 customer service, remote deposit capture, mobile banking – and an avalanche of apps we’ve yet to conceive? Short answer: They won’t. The same goes for tech tools that don’t work brilliantly. A WorkLight study found that over half of smartphone users are unhappy with their banking institution’s mobile application. Only 26 percent of respondents were completely satisfied with their apps, while a discouraging 40 percent were completely dissatisfied. Which is why Auletta thinks you need an engineer on your team. “I would empower that person to help me figure out how to navigate this new digital world, to help decide what new things we should be doing that an engineer understands better than an ordinary civilian [would],” Auletta says. Neglecting this side of your business not only places you in danger of lagging behind, but also makes you vulnerable to extinction. Years ago, during an interview with Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Auletta asked what kept Gates up at night. Gates wasn’t anxious about his considerable competition. “I worry about two guys in a garage inventing a new technology I’ve never thought of,” he said.

Portlaoise Courthouse on Main Street
The most senior judges in Ireland have strongly advised anyone attending court to wear a facemask to contain Covid-19 unless the cannot wear a covering.
A statement was issued on Tuesday by the Chief Justice and Presidents of All Courts concerning the wearing of face coverings
It reiterated that all persons attending any court venue are expected to strictly comply with current public health guidance concerning Covid-19.
"Physical distancing (currently 2m) must be maintained at all times and all attending should engage in frequent handwashing and comply with respiratory etiquette," they said.
As for facemasks, the judges urged all attending court to wear coverings.
"Whilst face coverings are not mandatory at present, it is strongly advised that all persons, save for those who for medical or other welfare considerations cannot wear a face covering, should do so unless giving evidence, questioning a witness or addressing the court.
"Anyone wishing to use a face covering when addressing the court or giving evidence should be permitted to do so, unless the presiding judge considers the same prejudicial in all of the circumstances.
"The wearing of a face-covering does not lessen in any way a person’s obligation to comply with social distancing and other public health guidance.
"Finally, for your own safety and that of others, please ensure you use your face covering correctly and safely. Do not place it on any surface and ensure that you dispose of it safely," they said.

As a real estate investment owner, there are many issues to consider when passing an asset on to the next generation. Navigating the family dynamic can be a cumbersome task and is often overlooked.
It is possible the real estate you acquired for income will appreciate in value from the time you buy it until you pass it on to your beneficiaries. Passing your real estate assets on to your heirs at a step-up in basis is something to consider for estate planning.
Timing of when a beneficiary inherits property is critical, property transferred before death receives a "carryover basis" which means it carries the original cost basis over to the heirs. This is not ideal, as there may be a tax liability. Passing real estate assets at death can result in a step-up in basis, how is this done with the use of a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST)?
Highly appreciated property can be 1031 exchanged into DSTs for tax and estate planning purposes.
Objectives of the DST include:
DST beneficial ownership can be passed on to multiple heirs at a step-up in basis at the time of death, simplifying the transfer of wealth.
By investing in a Delaware statutory trust, or DST, heirs may receive any distributions paid from the investments. Upon the sale of the property owned by the DST, each heir can choose what to do with their inherited portion. It is possible that one heir continues to exchange the investment, while another can sell and receive cash proceeds.

How BlackBerry went from controlling the smartphone market to a phone of the past
- BlackBerry controlled 50% of the smartphone market in the US and 20% globally at one time.
- Despite being one of the first smartphones, it failed to innovate and became complacent in how the smartphone market was changing.
- There was an updated iPhone every year, and other smartphones, like the Motorola Droid, began to hit shelves, while BlackBerry struggled to add new features that appealed to consumers.
Following is a transcript of the video.
BlackBerry once reigned as king of the smartphone, selling more than 50 million units at its peak in 2011. The Canadian telecom company was originally named Research in Motion and had tens of millions of customers. It started out creating pagers and handsets, but the first iteration of the smartphone, complete with iconic keyboard, took shape within its first 15 years.
At one time, BlackBerry controlled 50% of the smartphone market in the US and 20% globally. In the mid-aughts, BlackBerry phones were everywhere. But demand rapidly declined, and in 2016, BlackBerry stopped manufacturing its own phones. So, what happened?
In 1984, two Canadian engineering students, Mike Lazaridis and Douglas Fregin, formed Research in Motion. At first, the company dabbled mostly in random projects: an LED system for GM, a local network for IBM, and even a film-editing system that won an Oscar in 1998. In 1989, the Canadian phone company Rogers contracted RIM to work on its Mobitex network, a system specifically designed for messaging, giving RIM a leg up as an early expert in mobile messaging. Fast-forward to 1996, when RIM created its first two-way pager. And for the next few years, the company iterated on that design, gradually adding features like a color display, WiFi, instant messaging, and web browsing. In 2002, the company unveiled its first model that could be called a phone. In 2006, RIM added the trackball so users could scroll around the screen.
Avery Hartmans: BlackBerry figured out a way to make its phone indispensable to the wealthy and powerful. And having it really meant something about who you were as a person; it was a status symbol. And that's where we got that name CrackBerry. People were almost addicted to it and addicted to that feeling of always being connected.
Narrator: The BlackBerry had a simple design, an easy learning curve, and was clearly marketed to business professionals. The full keyboard made it possible for them to work outside the office. They could respond to emails, texts, browse the web, basically anything they might need to do at a computer. And there was one other beloved feature: BlackBerry Messenger.
Hartmans: The BBM messaging service was a key component of BlackBerry's success as well because they figured out really early on that people wanted to have an instant connection to people; they want to be able to message back and forth without limits. And being able to BBM also added you to that really exclusive club of BlackBerry-only users.
Narrator: This convenience, paired with inclusivity, paid off. By 2007, the company was pulling in more than $3 billion in revenue with a net income of $631 million.
Hartmans: At that point in time, BlackBerry had all these government contracts and big business deals, and those deals in turn spurred more consumer adoption. So at that point, BlackBerry was just dominating the US market.
Narrator: So, with all those contracts and dollar signs, the company had nothing to worry about, right? Steve Jobs: The problem with them is really sort of in the bottom 40 there. It's this stuff right here. They all have these keyboards that are there, whether you need them or not to be there. What we're gonna do is get rid of all these buttons and just make a giant screen. A giant screen.
Hartmans: The iPhone was something consumers had never seen before. The iPhone was a full-touch-screen device, and that was a huge leap in innovation at that point for the mobile industry. BlackBerry was still using physical keyboards at that point.
Narrator: But the iPhone didn't kill RIM immediately. It just signed its death warrant. BlackBerry didn't view the iPhone as competition since it didn't cater to the business market. So it carried on, business as usual. RIM released the BlackBerry flip phone in 2008, quickly followed by the BlackBerry Storm, its first touch-screen device. The Storm was reviewed and trashed by critics, who said it was "a definite letdown because of the phone's sluggish performance and bugginess." But BlackBerry phones still continued to sell for a few reasons. The iPhone was more expensive than the BlackBerry and exclusive to AT&T until 2011, forcing customers in the US to either switch providers or pick a new phone. And, very simply, people just didn't wanna give up their keyboards.
So, for a while, BlackBerry was fine. But RIM underestimated how quickly the smartphone market was changing. There was a new updated iPhone every year, and other smartphones, like the Motorola Droid, began to hit shelves. RIM tried to keep up. It rolled out innovative new devices, like the PlayBook tablet and Torch, but the devices were not well received. The PlayBook even shipped without an email app, which made it useless to BlackBerry's business-minded customer base. In June 2010 came BlackBerry's death rattle with the release of the iPhone 4. Soon after its release, Apple's phone sales surpassed BlackBerry for the second time. But this time, they stayed there.
Hartmans: BlackBerry was slow to change. Its company ethos was built around designing a great product that just worked and iterating on it very slowly. To that end, they would add small features over time, but they weren't shooting for big, sweeping changes that would shock and delight consumers.
Narrator: It wasn't the fact that there was no well-established BlackBerry app store, although that was big.
Comparatively, Android and Apple were more top of mind for app developers. BlackBerry wasn't. The phones missed out on a bunch of features that appealed to consumers, like front and back cameras. These shortcomings ultimately led to RIM's downfall. RIM's global market share began a downward spiral, going from 20% in 2009 to less than 5% in 2012. By the time RIM finally released its spec-competitive touch-screen phone in 2013, it was just too late.
That same year, RIM officially changed its name to BlackBerry. BlackBerry thought its loyal customers would wait around for it. Spoiler: They didn't. At this point, people were locked into either iPhone or Android. And in the last quarter of 2016, out of more than 432 million smartphones sold worldwide, only 207,900 were BlackBerry devices, which officially made RIM's smartphone market share 0%. And in 2016, Chinese consumer-electronic company TCL essentially bought the BlackBerry phone brand, which led to their departure from the smartphone market, 14 years after the release of its first phone. But the phones live on, sort of.
Commercial: Introducing the new BlackBerry Classic with more power and control than ever before.
Narrator: The deal was for TCL to design and manufacture BlackBerry hardware while the BlackBerry company provides the software. Today's BlackBerry phones still have the iconic keyboard but run on Android, not the BlackBerry OS, giving users their beloved app store and much more customization options. The phones are still marketed to a specific type of user, people who want enhanced privacy and security features, with the marketing materials spotlighting the phone's security protections and battery life. But the latest BlackBerry phone, the Key2, was released in 2018. These days, a new model comes along every year, and 2019 has come and gone without any new BlackBerrys. Whether we see a new BlackBerry anytime soon or not, the phones will always be a brick in the foundation of smartphone history. A fitting place for a company so set in its ways that it cemented its own demise.

The Chitalpa is a cross between Catalpa bignonioides and Chilopsis linearis. The Chilopsis is a desert tree, sometimes called a Desert Willow. From the Chilopsis, the Chitalpa inherits long 3 to 5 inch dark green leaves and the ability to withstand some dry heat. However, unlike its desert parent, the Chitalpa can withstand low temperatures of around minus 15 degrees. Flowers are orchidlike and produced in July or August at the ends of new growth. At several feet a year the Chitalpa reaches its 25 to 30 foot height and breadth quickly and makes shady spots fast. It is a drought-resistant plant, a trait inherited from the desert willow, and it is fairly hardy, having withstood temperatures as low as 9F. It has been noted that it will freeze back to the ground in Zone 6. Although many fast-growing trees are intolerant of windy situations, chitalpa can withstand even strong winds without breakage. Unlike either of its parents, chitalpa is sterile and produces no messy seed pods. Propagation: Cuttings. The initial hybrids between Catalpa and Chilopsis were created in Uzbekistan in 1964 and introduced to the United States by Robert Hebb of the New York Botanic Garden in 1977. (Chitalpa is a combination of the scientific name of the two parents, while the specific name identifies the city in Uzbekistan where the hybrids were created.) Although in cultivation in the United States during the 1980s, the hybrid remained unnamed until 1991 when Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden assigned the name x Chitalpa tashkentensis.

1896 - 1907 Owens Utopian Iris Moon Vase #072
J.B. Owens started his own pottery company in 1891. He built a new plant and started manufacturing pottery in 1896. The Utopian line was a high-glaze brown ware with underglaze slip painting similar to Roseville, Rookwood and Weller. Owens manufactured pottery for only 10 years and won critical acclaim but closed in 1907. The Utopian line is their most recognizable.
This particular Owen Utopian vase is a nice small cabinet or apartment vase. Perfect for any mantle or book shelf. Displays extremely well. The underglaze slip-painting of an Iris flower is exceptionally well done. This little moon vase is fairly scarce so now is your chance to own a piece of pottery history. This is a beautiful vase and is waiting for a new home.
Exceptional small vase in that it has no cracks, no scratches to glaze. Very minor underglaze crazing on this wonderful piece. It may appear more pronounced due to the macro lens used for the photography. There is a chip on one of the feet which can be professionally repaired. It is hardly noticeable since someone tried to repair it already. Any non-perfections are from the firing/manufacturing process including glaze misses and glaze pops. Dimensions are below.

To engage teachers, students in science education
MANILA — The Department of Education (DepEd) encourages teachers and learners to participate in the National Research Council of the Philippines’ (NRCP) “Back to Basic” (B2B) online lectures.
Launched this July, the B2B lecture series serves as an avenue to present difficult science theories and concepts in a popular and fun way using videos and infographics for teaching and learning and inspire greater understanding and appreciation of basic science concepts that may lead to further researches.
“We are thankful for the Department of Science and Technology and the NRCP for this initiative that provides accessible lectures that are delivered in the most understandable way for teachers and learners. This is crucial in giving additional resources to help distance learning be as effective as possible,” Education Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones said, committing to support programs in science education.
Undersecretary for Curriculum and Instruction Diosdado San Antonio invited teachers and learners to participate in the incoming lectures, which will run until December this year.
“Back to Basic lectures are delivered in a quick and comprehensible way especially for our learners. These lectures will serve as proof that science, unlike any other subjects, is enjoyable, so we highly encouraged learners to join in this program.”
The first lecture of the B2B entitled “Infection Busters” featured the NRCP Medical Sciences division, where experts discussed infection, antimicrobial resistance, and vaccination.
“NRCP has designed B2B for high school students in such a way that otherwise difficult science concepts or theories are explained or unraveled in the most fun and popular way. It is the intention of B2B to help students better appreciate science and how this is actually a relatable matter, not just a concept to memorize for a preparation for an exam,” NRCP Executive Director Dr. Marieta Banez-Sumagaysay noted.
Other topics to be discussed include modern geometries, non-internet-based modalities for remote learning, black holes, gravitational waves, chemical communications in nature, biomass, bioenergy, and biorefineries, and digital humanities, among others.
Like in a traditional classroom, students and participants need to enroll, attend lectures, and submit assessments after every session. Upon finishing a lecture, participants will be given a certificate. Participation of elementary and high school learners in the B2B online activities is voluntary. Philippine Information Agency
Interested participants may check Research Pod on Facebook for B2B live lectures and schedules. Participants who cannot join the proper lecture could still take the class on the BRITER Commons website.

I remember when the WWJD bracelets first appeared and I learned that the letters stood for “What WouldJesus Do?” At first, I thought they seemed a little hokey; too much like a marketing ploy. But, I set aside my innate cynicism and saw them as a valuable tool offering Christians a constant reminder of the teachings of their spiritual leader.
Every day, I listen to politicians attack each other and ply their smoke and mirror tactics on the American people. “Look at this shiny scandal over here,” they tell us, and that way we won’t notice when they slash funding for public programs, attack our civil liberties, and increase the inequity of wealth in this nation. And I think to myself, what would Jesus do?
Jesus lived in a tiny and insignificant colony of the largest empire in the world at that time. Tyrants ruled capriciously, worshiped wealth and power, and entertained themselves by watching the suffering of others. Jesus had many options available to him. He did not gather armies and swords to fight Rome. And aside from one excusable instance reacting to the desecration of his most sacred place, he did not advocate violence or any kind of destruction. In fact, he preached the opposite – turn the other cheek.
What did Jesus do? He witnessed publicly his beliefs about how the world should be. And then he lived by those principles. He did not judge others who came to him for aid – young or old, man or woman, rich or poor, gay or straight, Jew or Gentile. He only rebuked people who placed adherence to rigid dogma over the crying need of the people.
Feed the hungry. Clothe the naked. House the homeless. Free the prisoner. Heal the sick. Give hope to those without hope. That’s what Jesus did. He ignored irrelevant rules and regulations. He accepted humble hospitality but assembled no material riches of his own. He didn’t kowtow to authorities. He simply spoke truth to power.
What would Jesus do today? He wouldn’t leave millions without access to healing medical treatment. He wouldn’t allow vulnerable children to be placed in harm’s way. He wouldn’t tolerate discriminating against any group of people for any reason. And when people are hungry, naked, or homeless, he would feed them, clothe them, and provide them shelter.
Many people consider America a Christian nation, and that our laws are heavily influenced by Christian morality. These people should ask themselves, “What would Jesus do if he were alive today?” War, racism, homophobia, misogyny, corporate personhood, and innocent people dying needlessly every day – is this what Jesus would do? If Jesus walked our streets today, would he preach these things, or would he preach acceptance and understanding, justice and equality, hope and love?
You don’t have to be Jesus to do what Jesus would do.

Among the current 15 EU member states, Greece is third from last in respect to income earned by mechanical engineers, who are paid 21,934 euros per annum. Mechanical engineers receive the highest pay in Luxembourg, with 58,765 euros per annum, in Copenhagen (51,972 euros annually) and in Berlin (41,414 euros annually). Apart from the countries due to join the EU in May, only Italian and Portuguese engineers earn less than Greeks, bringing in 21,116 and 15,305 euros per annum respectively. On a global level, it is worth noting that the income of mechanical engineers in Greece is almost four times lower than their counterparts in Switzerland and three-and-a-half times lower than engineers in New York, putting Greece in 36th place on the world list. Interestingly, Greek and Belgian mechanical engineers work the least hours in the European Union.

BY ELAD BENARI, ARUTZ 7—
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday said that Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich’s remarks about Palestinian Authority Arabs were “unhelpful.”
Gingrich told The Jewish Channel last week that the claim of Palestinian Authority Arabs to be “a people” is not legitimate.
The former Speaker of the House of Representatives said in the interview, “Remember, there was no Palestine as a state. It was part of the Ottoman Empire” until the early 20th century.
“I think that we’ve invented Palestinian people who are in fact Arabs, and who were historically part of the Arab community,” he said. “And they had a chance to go many places, and for a variety of political reasons we have sustained this war against Israel now since the 1940s and it’s tragic.” he said.
The remarks angered the Palestinian Authority, with PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad having told reporters in response the remarks were “extremely trivial, demeaning and ridiculous.”
“Even the most extremist settlers of Israel wouldn’t talk in such a ridiculous way,” Fayyad said. “Our people have been here from the beginning, and they are determined to remain on their land until the end.”
The Arab League also condemned the comments, saying they were “irresponsible and dangerous” and accusing Gingrich of sacrificing U.S. interests for votes.
PBS’s Jim Lehrer asked Clinton in an interview if Gingrich’s statements were helpful, to which she replied, “No, no and I think he recognized that from what I read.”
Clinton added that Gingrich’s statements were “one of those innovated moments that happens in politics.”
In a debate Saturday night in Iowa, Gingrich refused to back down from his remarks and said, “Is what I said factually true? Yes. Somebody ought to have the courage to tell the truth. These people are terrorists. It’s fundamentally time for somebody to have the guts to stand up and say, ‘Enough lying about the Middle East.”
He added, “When the president keeps talking about a peace process while Hamas keeps firing missiles into Israel, if we had a country next to us firing missiles, how eager would we be to sit down and negotiate?”
Clinton angered Israelis when she recently compared Israel to Iran after the incident in which religious soldiers asked to be exempt from a performance including halakhically forbidden women’s singing. She also criticized, in the same comparison, some hareidi buses in which women and men sit separately, omitting the fact that buses with separate seating are a regular feature of New York State travel between hareidi areas.

A week gone since the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Cable St, and more than that since Wilton's Music Hall had a weekend of commemorative events to mark the anniversary. [I've had a cold and the dog ate my blogging kit - well, that's my excuse].
Nowadays, Cable St is a quiet side-street, almost entirely lined with housing estates and best-known as one of the few cycle lanes that approaches continental standards: hardly a battleground. But in October 1936, a planned Fascist march into the heart of the East End was halted by crowds of residents, backed up by barricaded streets. In those days, it was still legal to dress up in military-style uniforms for a deliberate act of coat-trailing through an area with a strong Jewish and trade union population. So, even though the BUF was known to chant anti-Semitic slogans, and even gloried in violence against their opponents, the march had not been banned, despite requests from the local councils, and the police were deployed to try to clear the street. Hence the battle. The residents kept this up until late afternoon, at which point the Police Commissioner advised Oswald Mosley, the Fascist leader, to give up the attempt: so off they went to march along the Embankment while there was still some daylight. So much for Mosley's attempt to be a Man of Destiny, and the Great Leader like his continental models; if he'd ever represented anything significant, he didn't now.
There's a permanent commemoration in the mural on the side of St George's Town Hall, a little further down Cable St, which is reproduced on the poster above for the weekend's events. Wilton's air of slightly melancholic delapidation seemed to suit its nostalgic elements, with its exhibition on the British and Irish contribution to the International Brigade in the Spanish Civil War (in its opening stages in the autumn of 1936), reproduction posters from Spain to accompany the 19th century Indian dancers on its crumbling walls, historical documentary rehashing the old debates between the local and national left-wing parties about how to deal with the Fascists, talks on the literature and performances of the music of the period. Outside in the sudden late hot spell, the alleyway hosted a few stalls for various leftwing and community causes, with the compulsory jazz band. I'm assuming the man with the tray of "Fairly Fresh Fish" (that suddenly sprang into mechanical life when approached by the unwary) was there to entertain.
There were talks, films and exhibitions on present-day Cable St, and its challenges too, not least the latest incarnation of the resentments that fed the BUF. Are such bullies deterred, or encouraged in their pre-emptive sense of grievance and martyrdom that they direct against "the other", by being banned, or by being confronted and chased away?

Manufacturing plant cyber security has become a very hot issue lately. The manufacturing industry has become more digitized. Therefore, it is becoming a newly popular target for cybercriminals. Manufacturers are increasingly vulnerable to attacks that can shut down production. These external threats can affect manufacturers regardless of their size. The U.S. National Center for Manufacturing Sciences
estimated that breaches cost manufacturing companies between $1 million and $10 million. These expensive attacks are coming from different points – externally, in the form of malicious nation states, and internally, from careless or intentionally destructive insiders.
Learn how you can help keep improve your manufacturing plant cyber security.

What Is Zigbee?
Zigbee is a wireless technology developed as an open global market connectivity standard to address the unique needs of low-cost, low-power wireless IoT data networks. The Zigbee connectivity standard operates on the IEEE 802.15.4 physical board radio specification and operates in unlicensed radio bands including 2.4 GHz, 900 MHz and 868 MHz.
The 802.15.4 wireless specification upon which the Zigbee stack operates gained board ratification by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2003. The specification is a packet-based radio board protocol intended for low-cost, battery-operated devices and products. The protocol allows devices to communicate data in a variety of network topologies and can have battery life lasting several years.
The Zigbee 3.0 Protocol
The Zigbee protocol has been created and ratified by member companies of the Zigbee Board Alliance.Over 300 market leading semiconductor manufacturers, technology firms, OEMs and service companies comprise the Zigbee Alliance membership board. The Zigbee protocol was designed to provide an easy-to-use wireless data solution characterized by secure, reliable wireless network architectures.
The Zigbee Advantage
The Zigbee 3.0 protocol is designed to communicate data through noisy RF environments that are common in commercial and industrial market applications. Version 3.0 builds on the existing Zigbee connectivity standard but unifies the market-specific application profiles to allow all devices to be wirelessly connected in the same network, irrespective of their market designation and function. Furthermore, a Zigbee 3.0 certification scheme ensures the interoperability of products from different device manufacturers. Connecting Zigbee 3.0 networks to the IP domain opens up wireless monitoring and control from radio devices such as smartphones and tablets on a LAN or WAN, including the Internet, and brings the true Internet of Things to fruition.
Zigbee protocol features include:
- Support for multiple network topologies such as point-to-point,
point-to-multipoint and mesh networks
- Low duty cycle – provides long battery life
- Low latency
- Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
- Up to 65,000 nodes per network
- 128-bit AES encryption for secure data connections
- Collision avoidance, retries and acknowledgements
The Zigbee 3.0 software stack incorporates a ‘base device’ that provides consistent behavior for commissioning nodes and devices into a network. A common set of commissioning methods is provided, including Touchlink, a method of proximity commissioning.
Zigbee Wireless Security
Zigbee 3.0 provides enhanced network security. There are two methods of security that give rise to two types of network:
- Centralized security: This method employs a coordinator/trust center that forms the network and manages the allocation of network and link security keys to joining nodes.
- Distributed security: This method has no coordinator/trust center and is formed by a router. Any Zigbee router node can subsequently provide the network key to joining nodes.
Nodes adopt whichever security method is used by the hub network they join. Zigbee 3.0 supports the increasing scale and complexity of wireless networks, and copes with large local networks of greater than 250 nodes. Zigbee also handles the dynamic behavior of these networks (with nodes appearing, disappearing and re-appearing in the network) and allows orphaned nodes, which result from the loss of a parent, to re-join the network via a different parent. The self-healing nature of Zigbee Mesh networks also allows nodes to drop out of the network without any disruption to internal routing.
Zigbee Protocol Compatibility
The backward compatibility of Zigbee 3.0 means that applications and smart home devices already developed under the Zigbee Light Link 1.0 or Home Automation 1.2 profile are ready for Zigbee 3.0. The Zigbee Smart Energy profile is also compatible with Zigbee 3.0 at the functional level, but Smart Energy has additional security requirements that are only addressed within the profile.
Zigbee Device Data
Zigbee’s Over-The-Air (OTA) upgrade feature for software updates during device operation ensures that applications on devices already deployed in the field/market can be seamlessly migrated to Zigbee 3.0. OTA upgrade is an optional functionality that manufacturers are encouraged to support in their Zigbee products' application layer.
Zigbee Mesh Networks
A key component of the Zigbee protocol is the ability to support mesh networking. In a mesh network, nodes are interconnected with other nodes so that multiple pathways connect each node. Connections between nodes are dynamically updated and optimized through sophisticated, built-in mesh routing table.
Mesh networks are decentralized in nature; each node is capable of self-discovery on the network. Also, as nodes leave the network, the mesh topology allows the nodes to reconfigure routing paths based on the new network structure. The characteristics of mesh topology and ad-hoc routing provide greater stability in changing wave conditions or failure at single nodes.
Zigbee Wireless Applications
Zigbee enables broad-based wave deployment of wireless networks with low-cost, low-power solutions. It provides the ability to run for years on inexpensive batteries for a host of monitoring and control applications. Smart energy/smart grid, AMR (Automatic Meter Reading), lighting controls, building automation systems, tank monitoring, HVAC control, medical devices, dbm radio, ghz wireless protocols, wireless sensor networks and fleet applications are just some of the many spaces where Zigbee technology is making significant advancements.
Digi XBee 3 Zigbee Technology
Digi is a member of the Zigbee Alliance and has developed a wide range of data networking solutions based on the Zigbee protocol. Digi XBee 3 is the latest in a long line of radio devices that provide an easy-to-implement solution that provides functionality to connect to a wide variety of devices with robust connectivity standards.

From Scientist to Mission: The Rise and Death of the Kepler Mission
The Kepler mission is one of the most exciting and important missions to astronomers. Its main objective is to discover habitable planets like Earth orbiting around other stars. The mission was launched in March of 2009 and has collected 3,548 candidates of which 150 planets are confirmed (as of September 1st). 150 confirmed planets is certainly no where near the 3,548 candidates so you can imagine this will take several years to process the data. The initial plan was for Kepler to run for 3.5 years and collect data from a particular area in the sky. Here is an image to depict what Kepler is targeting.
Kepler’s camera was one of the largest at the time of launch with a makeup of 42 CCDs at 2200 x 1024 pixels. If you thought your 24 megapixel camera was awesome well it’s not much compared to Kepler’s whopping 95 megapixels! Now if you think about how you would find these planets the problem becomes a little trickier. First let’s start off with the goals of the Kepler mission:
- To determine how many Earth-size or larger planets are in the habitable zone
- To determine the range of size and shape of these orbits of these planets.
- To estimate how many planets there are in multiple-star systems
- To determine the range of orbit size, brightness, size, mass and density of short-period giant planets.
- Determine properties of those stars that harbour planetary systems
Now the way Kepler discovers planets is by using the transit method. The transit method is where astronomers take repeated observations of a star and look for a dip in the apparent magnitude. This dip can give such information like the size of the planet, interval between the dips can give the orbit of the planet, as well as its temperature. All sorts of amazing information comes from this method. We’ve learned there are stars that have insane break-neck speeds at orbiting their host star in 8.5 hours (compared to Earth’s 365 days) to unbelievable conditions like on HD 189733b. Not only that but scientists believe there are at least 17 billion Earth-size planets in our very own Milky Way. Suddenly it feels crowded in our own neighborhood. It’s almost strange to wonder why we haven’t picked up on any other lifeforms. However our very own signals haven’t reached out far enough. You could say that we have been transmitting T.V and radio in the last 100 years (maybe as much as 200). Taking that in account that our Milky Way galaxy is 100,000 light years in diameter we have a long way to go until our signals actually get anywhere.
Death of the Kepler Mission
In May of 2013 two of the four wheels on the Kepler spacecraft were out of commission. These wheels are crucial to keep the spacecraft aligned just right so as Kepler is orbiting around the Earth it can take precise images of that field of view without any error. In August of 2013 NASA announced that they had given up on trying to fix the 2 wheels and would call it quits. Nonetheless, it didn’t mean NASA was going to shutdown or crash Kepler, but to give it a new objective so that it could collect data in a different way. NASA has also reached out the the citizen scientist community and asked for help on the new potential mission. Even though Kepler is down it isn’t out and it still has some life. For now we can thank that it did complete it’s main goals and we are filled with inspiration of the various planets that are out there that our imaginations never dreamed about. This is an image of Kepler’s reach and you can see that Earth needs a lot more time to discover more planets. Considering we have only been looking since 2009 I would say we have done an outstanding job.
“The diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great, and the treasures hidden in the heavens so rich, precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment.” – Johannes Kepler

The crushing process is one of the main processes in feed mills. The crushing quality directly affects the comprehensive cost of feed production quality, yield and power consumption, but also affects the intrinsic quality of the feed and the feeding effect. Crushing has always been an active research area in feed processing. The main research indicators are the size, uniformity, power consumption, and fields related to grinding.
The design of the crushing process should be based on the above indicators so that it can meet the ideal requirements. Crushing particle size control. For hammer mills, just select the corresponding mesh. The key problem is how to ensure the uniformity of the particle size and reduce the power consumption, especially how to increase the output of the crusher during micro-pulverization, and prevent the material from blocking the sieve openings. It is worth considering in the process design. There are currently three types of crushing processes, namely primary, secondary and closed-circuit crushing processes. Compared with the primary pulverization process, the secondary closed-circuit pulverization process has low energy consumption and is easy to improve productivity and product quality. Therefore, it is mostly used by large and medium-sized feed mills.
There are three types of crushing equipment: horizontal hammer crusher, roller crusher and vertical hammer crusher. Among them, the roller crusher has a relatively uniform crushing particle size, which can control the distribution range of the particle size. Based on various indicators, the vertical hammer crusher is a priority development model. Different feed types and different feeding objects in feed production have different requirements, so the combined use in the process according to needs has become a development trend.
The main factors affecting the working performance of the hammer mill crusher in the existing feed mill are:
① the physical properties of the raw materials;
② the turning and feeding direction of the rotor of the feeding system;
③ the choice of the sieve plate diameter of the crusher;
④Negative pressure suction and so on.

Our current life is greatly impacted by Covid19. However, thanks to the great medical facility things are slowly moving back to normal. Nevertheless, this might have inspired me to begin a career in the educational field. However, your essay homework can pose a hurdle in the journey. Worry no more take Essay Writing Services UK based help which can easily solve your problem. Before you move to the final decision for your career. We would like to tell you the pros and cons of choosing a career in the healthcare field. Let’s have a look at some pros and cons of choosing a career in healthcare.
The Advantages Of Working In Healthcare
There’s a lot to love about performing in a healthcare field. Here are some of the gains you can imagine.
Making A Difference
Maybe it’s the aim you got into the healthcare ground. There’s no refuting the great influence you can make on patients’ lives, whether you’re functioning at the bedside or off the scenes. Healthcare callings are some of the most satisfying careers as you work to protect lives and get individuals back on their feet.
Will Haynes, a wife of a hospital paediatrician, says that although you are creating an influence on lives by literally rescuing lives, you are also making a change in your patients’ teachings. Haynes speaks that hospital workers frequently help dismiss mythologies and fallacies detained by both patients and their families.
Projected Job Growth
People will continuously want medical care, but now is a particularly great time to work in healthcare. The great baby boomer population is attaining the age that inclines to need more medical services, which should be an optimistic power for healthcare job safety.
As such, the Agency of Labor Statistics plans the healthcare industry to swell about 2.4 million new jobs by 2026, which is more than any other professional group. These fast-growing jobs aren’t partial to workers with progressed degrees, either. If your objective is to link the healthcare industry as fast as likely, there are a diversity of in-demand entry-level places.
Variety In Your Days
If you grow exhausted of seeing the similar faces day in and day out, performing in a hospital may well be for you. “One of the pros to employ in a hospital is that you get to encounter somebody new every day,” says ex EMT Christopher Sharp.
Working in a hospital denotes you’ll see a diversity of patients from all paces of life who are feeling all types of health situations. And as hospitals are so big and employ so many folks, you’ll most possible work together with a diversity of other healthcare specialists throughout your shifts too.
“It never gets uninteresting and there’s tons of area to grow, do exploration, achieve outreach and more,” Haynes states.
You’re Element Of A Big Team
Notwithstanding your role in the hospital, you’ll probably work with a mixture of doctors, nurses, medical helpers, lab technicians, druggists and more, all to accomplish a similar goal. Which is improving and upholding patients’ health.
“Those in healthcare can’t know all, but they have contact with their team and other teams, who all have the same objective,” Haynes says. Working collaboratively with others in a hospital lets patients get the complete treatment and provides you with the chance to study and cultivate from your team.
The Disadvantages Of Working In Healthcare
Like most work environments, there are a few disadvantages to working in a hospital situation. Here are a small number of of the less-than-ideal features you should be alert of.
There’s no guaranteeing what type of patients you’ll be meeting working in a hospital. Being sick or hurt isn’t any fun, so supposed to deal with some cranky and unruly patients. Families might demand that you cater to their precious one at all times, and while you desire you could, hospitals are hectic and you won’t be able to bestow all your time to one patient.
On the other side, you will be meeting patients to whom you grow mainly close as you root for their recovery. You might be astonished at how close you turn out to be to them and their relatives, which creates the hours spent with tough patients all worth it.
Seeing Sickness And Expiry
“You have to dole out with a large amount of sorrow, and a lot of the time there is zero you can do to ease it,” Sharp says. Whereas you might try your hardest and deliver the best care you can, you will unavoidably have patients whose health is out of your power. It can be expressively tough to get devoted to patients and then see them worsen. On the other hand, you’ll also have the satisfaction of bringing patients back to well-being and viewing them recover under your care.
It Is Draining Physically
Healthcare workers can work longer-than-average periods, with some working over 12 hours a day. In addition to expanding your day inside, you could be on your feet the whole time, travelling back and forth among patient rooms.
For those who hate desk jobs, this could be an astonishing benefit. For those observing for a more inactive job, a patient-facing job may well not be the right fit. Reflect a job as a medical secretary or coder as a substitute, where you can still be intricate in the hospital while warning the physicality of your work.
Sickness doesn’t drive on a 9 to 5 schedule, so be ready to work outside of usual business hours, on weekends and even on off days. If you are inclined to be a morning bird or a night owl, a non-traditional schedule with hours working early in the sunrise or late into the night could be what you want.
If you’re looking to have each holiday off, then functioning in a hospital that never closes might not be perfect. Some employers might offer augmented holiday pay to offset these unusual shifts.
Things To Know Before Making The Change
Professions in the medical field are on the increase, and these are some of the most satisfying careers out there. Your work can factually mean the variance between life and death. If you’re concerned about selecting a job that’s empty or inane, this could be longed-for news.
But health care professions can also be extremely stressful. Researchers say that doctors aspect higher rates of suicide likened to other professions. They also incline to burn out at a faster rate due to the weights they face every time at work.
If you pick out this career path, you’ll want to guard your mental health. That signifies you’ll need to dedicate time to your desires outside of work. Your high salary and substantial vacation package should let you travel, take vacations, and apply time with the people you dear. Take benefit of those openings to make the most of your career.
These are the pros and cons of choosing a career in healthcare. If you think you are comfortable with changing timetables and want to help people then you should opt for the healthcare field. However, the education journey to be a doctor or nurse is quite long. You will have tons of long easy ones you will have to complete. Here a secret to unload some of the work. By taking Essay Writing Services UK Based help you can easily minimize the load on yourself and still get the work done. Lastly, take care of yourself and good luck with your future choice.

Despite of availability of a vaccine that guards against human Papilloma virus (HPV) common misconception are still present about HPV and its link to certain Cancer.
HPV is not one virus but a group and not all of them are linked with cancers. HPV is actually about 40 viruses transmitted sexually and they are so common that over. 80% of adults will have some kind of HPV exposure in this life time. Of the many strains that exist , about 10 are linked with an increased risk of certain kinds of Cancers.
Two strains.in particular HPV -16 and HPV-18 account for the majority of HPV caused cervical cancers. Most people with a strong immune response, clear HPV from their bodies. But for those who are unable to clear it, the virus can trigger changes at the cellular level.
These changes happen in epithelial cells , found in cervix, vulva, anus and parts of throat. HPV causes these cells to grow too much and not die off. These changes are known as “ Dysplasia” which can cause cancer if it persists for a long time.
Because some type of HPV can lead to cancer vaccination is recommended for males and females aged 9-26. The vaccine protects against seven of the most common cancer causing HPV and two types that cause genital
GARDASIL 9 is an HPV vaccine approved by US FDA. A three dose vaccination schedule is recommended at 0,2 and 6 months, but it was found the the two dose vaccination schedule, at 6 monthly interval gives the same amount of immune response especially in children (<15 Years). Parents should consider the potentially life sharing benefits of this
SCREENING FOR CANCER :-
For those beyond the age of HPV Vaccination, Safe sexual practices and regular cancer screening are recommended.
Cervical Cancer screening includes pap test, which detects ab normal cells in the cervix that may develop into cancer. Other test can look for the high risk type of HPV in cervical cells.
Women ages 21 through 29 should receive a pap test every 3 years and women 30 to 65 should receive a HPV test and a PAP test every 4 to 5 years or a PAP test alone every three years.
Those with certain immune system deficiencies may need to be screened more frequently and women who have had a hysterectomy do not need to have cervical screening unless the surgery was done to treat a precancerous lesion or cancer in the cervix.

|People Cluster:||South Asia Dalit - other|
|Affinity Bloc:||South Asian Peoples|
Korama, also known as Korama Setty, comes from the root kuru, which means "fortune telling," a reference to their traditional occupation. The Korama are a scheduled caste. In a tribe where cross-cousin and uncle-niece marriages are allowed, their very name, Korama, suggests mystery. They live in Bangalore and other places in Karnataka. They speak Tamil and Kannada.
In addition to fortune telling, the Korama people engage in basket-weaving, bamboo work, mat-weaving, and tattooing. Some work as wage laborers. But others are entering professional occupations and doing quite well. About one-third of these people live in urban areas. They are endogamous, meaning they prefer marriages to take place within their group. Boys are educated and girls to a lesser degree. The literacy level however is on the low side so the gospel may need to be given in oral form too.
These people are animistic, and they have their own priests.
The Korama people need to experience the abundant life offered only by Jesus Christ.
Pray that Indian believers will help lead the Korama into a church planting movement. Pray for spiritual openness that will lead to many putting their faith in Christ. Pray for faithful workers and intercessors.

Young Dora (Isabela Moner) is the daughter of two explorers, who seek out ancient Inca treasure in the jungle for the purpose of research and learning. She has a healthy understanding of family, of the jungle, and of the collaboration that is required for humanity to exist alongside nature. What Dora lacks is an understanding of broader human culture: she is nearly a smarter version of Amelia Bedelia when she’s sent to a high school in the city. When her parents (Michael Pena and Eva Longoria) disappear while on a deep jungle expedition, Dora is kidnapped by treasurer hunters who want her to lead them to the treasure for monetary gain.
Along for the ride are Dora’s cousin Diego (Jeff Wahlberg), two other classmates, and her trusty sidekick, Boots the Monkey. Thanks to the collaboration of the teenagers, as they figure out how to get along, and Boots, there are plenty of lighthearted moments that have some fun at the animated television show’s expense. As another one of those seeking the Inca treasure, Eugenio Derbez also provides several of the more hilarious moments in the film.
Audiences who grew up watching Dora or Diego, whether as children or as the parents of those children, will certainly take to the way that the characters have been cast, and how those actors portray them on screen. In a day and age when everything is getting a “remake” or a “retelling,” Dora and the Lost City of the Gold may very well launch a series of these films because it has enough tongue-in-cheek moments as nods to fans while also standing alone as a feature of its own. For this reviewer, a request to review this was met with a groan – but the end result was a fun family outing that entertained like a child-sized Indiana Jones movie without any of the moments that made me cringe for the children sitting next to me. In that way, Dora is a throwback to movies of the 1980s.
There are several lessons to be learned in the context of Dora’s adventure, a blend of the visual portrayal and the narrative. Most obviously, we see a young woman prove to be smart, resourceful, and brave, not waiting for a young man to save the day; there is also a clear representation of Hispanic family and culture that supersedes all of the challenges thrown Dora’s way. For the hilarity of the other characters, the film still falls on Moner’s shoulders to display the way that Dora innocently loves all and respects all, refusing to fall in line with the expectations of others, being true to herself. She exemplifies her family’s moral compass: to seek treasure for the sharing and the learning, not for the consumption, because white, black, or brown, English-speaking or not, we’re all in this together.
Special features include deleted and extended scenes, bloopers(!), and featurettes “All About Dora,” “Can You Say Pelicula?”, “Dora in Flower Vision,” and “Dora’s Jungle House.”

Bottled water products safe : HCC
Health Division of the Honiara City Council has quickly condemned media reports which claimed most bottled water products sold by shops are not safe for human consumption.
Earlier this week various reports pointed out that most of the bottled water products sold in the country are not safe for consumption, that their pH level is not at a safe level.
SIBC News collaborated in a water test investigation revealing the results of microbiological analysis of five bottled water products in the country.
Defending the bottled water products, Chief Health Inspector of Honiara City Council, George Titiulu said, the report were inaccurate.
“HCC we do monitoring for all these bottled water brands, according to our records the mineral waters are safe for consumption,” he said.
“The information we have is verified from our national health laboratory.”
SIBC news could not confirm if Mr. Titiulu’s records are up to date.
More on this story will come up in our evening current affairs.

Two-year-old Shawn Junior meets Santa at the Moses Lake Food Bank's "Operation Friendship" event.

‘Operation Friendship’ helps kids at Christmas
MOSES LAKE - Hard at work shoveling candy and gifts into bags, Santa Claus and Moses Lake Food Bank volunteers helped deliver Christmas to 1,306 kids on Saturday.
The annual "Operation Friendship" event has gone on longer than Food Bank Operations Manager Peny Archer can remember and aims to help Moses Lake families in need by donating Christmas gifts for kids.
By 10 a.m. more than 300 families had come in and left with a bag filled with toys and candy.
Friday, in preparation for the event, volunteers sorted though the hundreds of donated board games, dolls, bicycles, fishing poles, books and other toys.
"We didn't do as well as we have in the past, but there's always next year," said Brian Francis, secretary of the Moses Lake chapter of the Unchained Brotherhood Motorcycle Club, which hosted a toy drive throughout December to help the food bank.
Francis, along with Brotherhood members Zane Peterson and Gary Stack arrived at the food bank Friday with a school bus filled with donations.
Unchained Brotherhood members collected the dozens of toys as well as $3,500 which was used to purchase 332 more toys and gift cards at Walmart and Big 5.
"We usually try to help out the community," Francis said as he filled a bag with toys for an 8-year-old girl.
Volunteer Angie Wilson said the best donated item she saw was an MP3 player.
"But there's lots of Candyland games; that seems to be really popular," Wilson said.
The Moses Lake Assembly of God church donated 200 pre-stuffed stockings that Santa gave out during the event.
Archer says the food banks' 20 or more volunteers had to unwrap all the gifts as a precaution.
"About four years ago we got a gift, wrapped beautifully, it said for a boy, six years old. I hated to open it, but I did and it turned out to be a lump of coal," Archer said.
"It used to bother me because they take so much time to wrap them," says Archer, "But after that, it sure doesn't bother me now."
But while no one received a lump of coal this year, Archer says she doesn't want anyone to feel left out.
So if there are still toys left over, volunteers will continue giving them out next week.
"It's just going to depend on how the toys hold up," Archer says. "If we've got lots left we're going to keep distributing."
Archer says she encourages people to call 509-765-8101 if they would like to get a toy for a child or make a donation.
The Moses Lake Food Bank is located at 1075 W. Marina Drive.

A workplace has dedicated jobs for everyone. A manager manages, a salesperson sells, and the accounts manager manages the accounts. So what does a facility manager do? They manage facilities, right?
The truth is that facility managers do so much more than just manage facilities. They manage workers, develop property strategies, are involved in space management, look after building administration & maintenance, EHS, renovations & refurbishments, so on & so forth.
Facility managers work across multiple business functions in terms of strategic planning as well as foreseeing operational processes. Since Facility Managers (or FMs) are tasked with providing, maintaining & developing various services, a technology enabling them to ensure seamless management of tasks works as a great boon.
Let us briefly look at the critical responsibilities of facility managers.
Duties of Facility Managers
Facility managers are the manual management system of an organisation. They ensure everything runs smoothly, from resource and labour to work management.
In aligning the concerned people with their jobs, the facility managers are responsible for:-
- Sourcing and administering contracts and service providers
- Devising measures to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the facility
- Managing employees & coordinating tasks with other departments
- Ensuring a well-kept facility through proactive maintenance
- Handling emergencies
- Managing budgets
- Meeting compliance standards and government regulations
- Planning for the future by forecasting the facility’s upcoming needs and requirements
- Overseeing renovations, refurbishments, and building projects
- Helping with office relocations
- Drafting maintenance reports
- Proper submission of work order requests
Thus, from people to technology, facility managers ensure seamless working throughout the organisation. They must submit the finance prospects regarding new technologies, people, and facilities along with the determined ROI.
One of the major tasks of a facility manager & their team is handling the daily operations & maintaining the facility contracts. On a typical basis, a majority of FMs rely on externally contracted vendors for maintenance jobs such as cleaning, janitorial services, plumbers, electricians, mechanics, so on & so forth.
Tracking & maintaining data pertaining to this as well as managing their information is quite a bit of a work cut out for the FMs. Here’s where our CMS software can assist facility managers to streamline & automate many of their tasks.
Let us look at what this software is and its benefits.
Benefits of Having a CMS
A CMS has various in-built functions to support the duties of facility managers. It offers a centralised, dynamic, and automated management system across all platforms. The facility manager’s responsibilities are not only simplified but also efficient and streamlined.
Let us look in detail at how CMS software helps facility managers.
An exclusive Vendor Repository
A special contract database to store information of all the vendor contracts can be created. This repository will also ensure transparency & foster better communication amongst team members.
Additionally, it also cuts down the efforts of digging through piles & decks of folders for hard copies of invoices, contracts, works orders etc. With the added segregation of name wise, product/servicewise, pricingwise & any other keywords or metadata ensure easi fetching of information
Data Centralization and Visibility
Data centralization helps the managers identify the requests, timeouts, validity, approvals, and requirements. The visibility access can be granted to the required personnel to get the work status and reasons for its uphold, if any.
Automated and Streamlined Processes
The entire manual system is automated and, in turn, streamlined. This involves managing orders, inventory, maintenance, distribution, audits, and shifts. Mobile compatibility ensures sharing of information, saves time, reduces errors, and amplifies coordination. The data sharing across various devices helps to increase the efficiency and coordination of employees working on-field and off-field.
Consistent Maintenance and Easy Knowledge Transfer
The CMS software enables a proactive approach toward safety measures. Proper synchronisation of devices, alerts, suggestions, and IoT can help prevent incidents and underperformance. Knowledge transfer is no more a tedious task. All service-related documentation is stored in the software and is accessible to the person in charge of the job. All the necessary documentation is secured and accessible to the related personnel. Also, knowledge transfer can be carried out more quickly in the case of the departed team member.
EHS and Compliance Management
The software determines and forecasts the entire audit management process. It generates responses, reports, and analyses based on the audits. Thus, it becomes effortless to manage audits and meet compliances. Now that the audit management is in place, there is a centralised data generation for environment, health and safety data. The streamlined processes help to identify incidents earlier, thus leading to better preventive and corrective measures.
And We Conclude.
No doubt CMS software effortlessly manages the jobs of facility managers, but it comes with its set of risks too. Organisations must have a selective approach while implementing the CMS software in their system. The software should be able to provide a competitive advantage along with asset operation management.
But as IDC (International Data Corporation) states, “some organisations have yet to move past legacy systems and spreadsheets for critical EAM functions like repair order management, work scheduling and replace/repair decisions.“
Therefore we hope that after knowing the benefits of the CMS system, your organisation may proceed from the past legacy system to the newer technology with a positive frame of mind!

Trump warned over climate change stance
Experts urge him to reconsider policy
He has claimed that climate change is a “hoax” being led by the Chinese and promised to “cancel” the historic Paris Agreement. So it should come as little surprise that there is trepidation surrounding President-elect Donald Trump’s views on what one expert describes as the “biggest future instability” facing the planet.
As the world’s leading experts on climate change meet at COP22 in Marrakech to discuss the future of the planet, some are beginning to fear that Trump could yet derail plans aimed at ensuring the future safety of the global environment.
Trump has been clear in his opposition to the deal struck in Paris last year; he has also been a fierce critic of the Clean Power Plan.
He has said that he would scrap the program which is meant to target existing coal-fired and natural gas power plants, with a goal of reducing greenhouse emissions in the US by as much as 32% by 2030.
His victory has been greeted with dismay by those in the Moroccan capital.
“I hope that his rhetoric doesn’t match his actions,” senior climate change specialist Rasmus Lauridsen, at European Investment Bank, told CNN.
“I’ve read an analysis saying that people take what he says seriously, but not him seriously. Maybe we should do the opposite and disregard what he says.”
One of Trump’s primary targets is the Clean Power Plan which President Obama unveiled to transform the US electricity sector, but is seen by many of its critics as a “war on coal.”
The plan is currently being contested and is expected to go before the Supreme Court in early 2017.
Many of those who oppose the plan in the coal sector have been boosted by Trump’s support for the industry.
At a time where coal production is decreasing and businesses struggling, those who have opposed Obama’s plan have backed Trump into the White House.
But should the plan be overturned, it would represent a huge setback for those pushing the case of tackling climate change.
“Trump’s election has been met here by Americans and the international community with a great deal of concern for what it means for our climate, our environmental quality and the safety and well-being of people around the world,” Mike Burger, executive director at the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law told CNN.
“Trump’s campaign position on climate change was that it was a Chinese hoax – an irrational, nonsensical idea, that is also plainly wrong.
“He also made a number of bold statements about his plans to set climate policy back by a decade and to undo all of our domestic and international commitments to climate action.
“Let’s hope that he sees things differently when he is responsible for leading our country, and that these – and so many of his other statements over the last year – were just bluster.”
For Henry Dallal, photographer and author of “Addressing Climate Change”, the election of Trump comes as a bitter blow.
Dallal was at COP21 in Paris last year when President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry both attended, giving “great momentum” to the summit.
“It’s very sad. It’s an absolute shock,” Dallal told CNN.
“I still don’t believe it … I was also told that America cannot withdraw from the Paris agreement.
“The idea of them pulling out sends such a negative message.”
In Paris last year, the world agreed to do everything possible to limit harmful warming to at most 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
The agreement, which became international law last Friday, has been ratified by the US, China, India and Brazil – representing between them nearly 70% of the world’s emissions.
According to Lux Research, Trump’s policies would lead to US emissions being 16% higher after two terms of office than they would have been after two terms of Hilary Clinton being in charge.
That would amount to 3.4 billion tons of greater emissions over the next eight years.
“As independent analysts, we don’t endorse candidates, but the data and analysis clearly show that energy policy and the resulting emissions will go in very different directions under Clinton and Trump,” said Lux research analyst Yuan-Sheng Yu.
The US is the world’s second-largest greenhouse gas polluter after China and withdrawing from the Paris Agreement would leave the rest of the world facing a losing battle.
“America has established itself as a leader, if not the leader, in solving some of the biggest environmental problems in the world,” Carter Roberts, president and CEO of the World Wildlife Fund in the US, told CNN.
“It has done so out of the recognition that whatever happens in the world affects it. My biggest concern is that we maintain that leadership position because we know we won’t solve the problem without the US.”
According to the United Nations Environment report published last week, the world is still heading for a temperature rise of 2.9 to 3.4 degrees Celsius this century, even with Paris pledges.
The withdrawal of the US would only serve to exacerbate the problem.
“The biggest source of future instability is climate change,” Roberts added.
“You don’t have to be a scientist to see there’s a connection between climate change, drought, food prices going up, instability in the Middle East and the enormous immigration and refugee pressures which have been created.
“But I fundamentally believe that so many parts of American society are working on this issue that the momentum of their work will continue.”
In Paris last year, Obama promised to cut US greenhouse gas emissions by between 26-28% by 2025 from their levels in 2005.
According to data from the US Environmental Protection Agency, emissions were down 9% in 2014 compared to 2005.
While many experts are wary of Trump’s policies on climate change, there are some who are refusing to give up.
Meteorologist and host of the Our Warm Regards podcast, Eric Holthaus, says he will not abandon hope but adds that he’s not “not naïve enough to think this won’t be bad” for climate change campaigners.
“I think Trump will be a setback for climate change for sure but it’s not game over – but it will be as if the US has no climate policy for four years,” he told CNN.
“I think the most immediate thing is that he has said that the progress made under Obama will be reversed if possible for him to do that.
“But it is clear he won’t follow the commitment the US made to the Paris agreement.”
A Trump spokesperson didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Jacopo Prisco reported from Morocco. James Masters reported from London.

Quinnipiac’s Office of Cultural and Global Engagement held an open discussion in SC 120 on Wednesday, Feb. 19, for students to come and talk about community organizing and the legacy of black activism.
“We wanted to do an event like this to get students geared up about their own student voice and to recognize their own power,” said Daymyen Layne, director of multicultural education and training. “It’s important for students to realize that they have a certain amount of power on campus.”
The event allowed students to hear the thoughts of two separate activists and to share their own ideas on the material. Layne made the decision to hold the discussion after being co-panelists with one of the activists at the beginning of the fall 2019 semester.
“We want to open student’s eyes about the legacy of black feminist activists and organizers, but also about the rich history that comes along with organizing in America,” Layne said. “If we can help students realize this stuff a little sooner, we can start to see different changes on campus.”
Students of different majors and ages attended the discussion and each had various hopes of what they wanted to get out of the event. They were also able to share why they originally chose to be there before the discussion began.
“I came to this event because I wanted to stay abreast and not be blind to things that are going on,” said Alexys Small, biomedical sciences graduate student. “I wanted to see what Quinnipiac was doing towards problems for social injustice and race.”
Vanessa Liles, one of the guest speakers who is the co-project director at PT Partners, spoke about her involvement and work as community activist organizer.
“I work with people who are centered in the community to help them recognize that there are conditions that are created through institutional oppression,” Liles said. “I also help work with other members of the community to help them recognize how it is formulated and how to use that understanding to create strategies to address it.”
Liles used the event as an opportunity to share her real-life experiences with students and to help them understand that they play a key role in creating change in the world and on campus.
“A college campus is the place where I learned to become an activist and to organize,” Liles said. “This is a great place to hone in your intellectual ability around it, so it can afford you space to start operationalizing some of that.”
One major element that was stressed throughout the event is how students can get involved. Students were able to listen to the activists talk about the importance of being personally connected to community organizing while also still being enrolled at the university.
“Even if you’re not from the area and you are just here for school, your local community still needs you in any way that you can as a student,” Liles said. “We’re not going to push you out because you’re not from here. We need people power.”
Another guest speaker, Addys Castillo, executive director at the Citywide Youth Coalition, spoke about her role in aiding young people involved with community activism in New Haven.
“We organize young people by supporting and teaching them as much as we can about how systems work and how to have an anti-racist analysis,” Castillo said. “My job is to be the amplifier voice to them.”
Castillo also described the urgency for student involvement in order to make an impact on society. She explained to students how a problem that affects them will most likely affect other students around them as well.
“The only way to change anything comes from collective power. There is real power in numbers,” Castillo said. “When you think about what it’s gonna take for you as a student to create change locally or on campus, you need to think about who else is impacted and come together to create collective power.”
Several students who attended the event said they gained a new perspective on community organizing and black activism.
“I thought the event showcased phenomenal African American women activists in the greater New Haven area,” said Chidi Nwuneli, senior political science major. “I was persuaded by their thorough grasp and understanding of the subject matter pertaining to black activism and the contemporary American political scene. They were very persuasive in their comments about grassroots and youth-led activism.”
Both guest speakers ended the event with words of wisdom on the importance of student involvement in community organizing and black activism. They encouraged students to understand the current need for their participation in the movement.
“When I look at what our ancestors did, I see that they found their own liberation in their movement,” Castillo said. “I think it’s time for us to find ours. It’s our generation’s time now.”

Employers have a legal responsibility to communicate the toxic and hazardous chemicals workers are exposed to during their job duties. This is a clear mandate from the Worker Protection Standard, but exactly how companies comply can be confusing. Various standards or hybrid approaches are still quite common as companies attempt to use their legacy systems and somehow comply with updated GHS guidelines. The good news is that with a bit of help the Hazard Communication system is designed to be simple – and to clearly communicate hazardous chemicals to your teams in an easily understandable way. Participants in our Hazard Communications Training will be able to understand their existing system, identify specifically what needs to be updated in terms of their SDS, secondary container labeling and periodic reviews.

The Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) is pleased to announce the opening of the Solar Technical Assistance Program. This program provides technical assistance to state and local government agencies to evaluate the potential for, and to site, solar arrays on or around government buildings. Funded through the Strategic Energy Investment Fund, the program also offers access to technical resources and vetted contractors.
"MEA is delighted to offer this program to help identify sites for solar, leveraging already developed spaces such as rooftops and parking lots," said Dr. Mary Beth Tung, director of the Maryland Energy Administration. "Adding solar to these locations helps the state and local government achieve clean energy and greenhouse gas goals while enhancing energy independence and resiliency."
The program provides technical assistance for entities who are interested in including on-site solar generation, but do not have the expertise to evaluate potential issues for siting them?. This information is needed to allow government entities to make decisions concerning the location, use (to include resiliency options), and budgeting of solar energy projects.

6 of the Worst Credit Mistakes You Can Make
Most schools don't teach credit smarts. Unfortunately, that means it's easy to make mistakes that can tank your FICO score as soon as you get your first credit card. Lenders look at this number when you apply for a loan or credit card to help them determine the risk that you will default on the payments. Maintaining a healthy credit profile allows you to qualify for better interest rates on credit cards, auto loans and mortgages because you represent a lower lender risk. Keep your score high by protecting yourself from these six common credit pitfalls.
Making Late Payments
Your history of making payments on time (or not) makes up about 35% of your FICO score. Missing just one payment on a credit card or loan by 30 days or longer can drop your three-digit credit score by as much as 100 points if you otherwise have an excellent rating. The later the payment, the worse the damage to your credit. You'll also have to pay a late fee and might even be subject to an increased interest rate.
Closing Old Accounts
The length of your credit history plays a significant role in your credit score. When you get to be an old guy like me, having accounts open from decades ago positively benefits your credit profile. On the other hand, closing old accounts when you no longer use them effectively shortens your credit history, potentially dropping your FICO score.
Cosigning a Loan
When you cosign on someone else's loan, you're putting your own good credit on the line. If that person fails to pay, your credit will take a serious hit and you'll be on the hook for the remaining debt. Just say no when it comes to cosigning a loan even for a trusted friend or family member.
Carrying a Balance
The idea that you need a balance on your card to build credit is a common financial myth. In fact, failing to pay off your credit card in full each month can cost you thousands of dollars in interest. What's more, you'll have a high credit utilization ratio, which damages your FICO score because lenders consider you a high risk of default. About 30% of your score depends on your utilization ratio. Ideally, you should have a credit card balance of no more than 30% at any given time.
By the same token, don't charge big purchases you can't pay off just for the rewards. You'll end up paying more than interest than you get in cash back from the rewards program. Retail store cards tend to be a bad choice because of their limited utility and high interest rates.
Failing To Check Your Credit Report
Knowing your credit score, even if you suspect it's not great, is the first step to a better financial future. You should review your full credit report annually and report any errors that could be lowering your score. This step also helps protect you from costly identity theft.
You can visit annualcreditreport.com once a year to get your report from each of the three credit bureaus (Experian, TransUnion and Equifax). Avoid other "free" credit report sites, which usually require you to sign up for a subscription you don't need.
Sticking to One Type of Account
Diversifying your credit profile helps boost your FICO score. Lenders like to see a healthy mix of different types of secured and unsecured debt, such as credit cards, personal loans, mortgages, auto loans and student loans. About 10% of your credit score depends on the diversity of your credit history.
Be patient when building your credit score. As long as you avoid these six serious credit mistakes, you'll see your score rise slowly over time as you continue to make smart financial choices.

- Intermediate level.
- Advanced level.
So, you can start learning the language by recognizing your level according to your needs. For example, if you are learning a language for a job or any specific reason, you will have to mater at least intermediate or advanced level, but if you are just learning to speak normally or just as a hobby, beginner level is perfectly enough for you.
Don’t insist on learning more languages at the same time.
Everyone is eager to learn the language and speak it, in all this curiosity we start learning more than one language, but in the curiosity to do more than one thing at a time, nothing works at all. Instead, learn the language you are already familiar with, it will increase your interest and make it easier to learn the language. Give your full attention to one language at a time, do not rush to learn another language unless you feel that you have mastered that language.
Consistency plays an important role in bringing any work to completion, if there is consistency in your work then there is a guarantee that your work will be completed. Just learn the language for the first few days, and then quit because you got bored, don’t do that, be consistent.
Set time limit.
You can’t spend your time on one thing, you have to learn multiple languages , to learn more than one language you can set a time limit so that you don’t spend too much time learning a single language. Set a limit that you must learn the language in days or weeks. Which will help you to learn that specific language as early.
Sources are one of the major aspects of learning any language. To learn any language you first need all the vocabularies about that language so you have to find out many sources. Luckily because of technology to learn something is noted as a big deal. Whatever you want you can get all that at just a single click so utilize all those resources. You can watch movies in that particular language or can read books or if possible then you can approach the local peoples.

In light of the radiation poisoning risk from Jaegers that used nuclear reactors, Metharocin was given to Rangers as a preventive measure alongside the Jaeger's initial radiation shielding and even afterwards when the Pan Pacific Defense Corps recalled these Jaegers in order to improve shielding for future Jaegers.
Rangers are required to take Metharocin on a daily basis given their proximity to their Jaegers, inside or outside of the machine. Metharocin, however, is not a one-hundred percent effective countermeasure against preventing cancer-related illnesses. Notable cases, such as Tamsin Sevier and Stacker Pentecost, show that despite taking the medication, their prolonged exposure to Coyote Tango's nuclear reactor resulted in the development of terminal cancers.
- Tendo popped open a small tin and handed Raleigh a pill. “Metharocin,” he explained. “New precaution. It’ll shield you from radiation while you’re out of your suit.” Pointing up at Gipsy Danger’s torso, he added, “Exposed core is still fuel rod.” Raleigh took the pill.

Sometimes, it’s something small that starts something big. For Juliet Goraieb, the library media specialist at East Haven High School, it started with a keychain.
Goraieb has worked on a variety of projects with numerous kids at the high school, including John Mills, Lamont Crenshaw, Tarhan Pierce, Mahmoud Hosney, Colleen Hanlon, Colin Hutchinson, Seth Proto, and Ryan Spano.
Some of her kids, it occurred to her one day, would easily be able to find their names at those little stands where you can buy keychains with your name on it.
Others would not.
No problem, she thought. It would be easy enough to create them in the high school’s makerspace.
The maker space is where students share tools, ranging from 3D printers to sewing machines, and tips while learning and…

Information about Faustan-Uni
Each tablet contains 5 or 10 mg diazepam.
- Management of anxiety disorders or for the short-term relief of the symptoms of anxiety. Anxiety or tension associated with the stress of everyday life usually does not require treatment with an anxiolytic.
- In acute alcohol withdrawal, diazepam may be useful in the symptomatic relief of acute agitation, tremor, impending or acute delirium tremens and hallucinosis.
- Diazepam is a useful adjunct for the relief of skeletal muscle spasm due to reflex spasm to local pathology (such as inflammation of the muscles or joints, or secondary to trauma), spasticity caused by upper motor neuron disorders (such as cerebral palsy and paraplegia), athetosis, and stiff-man syndrome.
Oral diazepam may be used adjunctively in convulsive disorders, although it has not proved useful as the sole therapy.
The effectiveness of diazepam in long-term use, that is, more than 4 months, has not been assessed by systematic clinical studies. The physician should periodically reassess the usefulness of the drug for the individual patient.
Pregnancy: category D
Dosage and administration:
Dosage should be individualized for maximum beneficial effect. While the usual daily dosages given below will meet the needs of most patients, there will be some who may require higher doses. In such cases dosage should be increased cautiously to avoid adverse effects:
Management of anxiety disorders and relief of symptoms of anxiety depending upon severity of symptoms—2 mg to 10 mg, 2 to 4 times daily.
Symptomatic relief in acute alcohol withdrawal 10 mg, 3 or 4 times during the first 24 hours, reducing to 5 mg, 3 or 4 times daily as needed.
Adjunctively for relief of skeletal muscle spasm 2 mg to 10 mg, 3 or 4 times daily. Adjunctively in convulsive disorder 2 mg to 10 mg, 2 to 4 times daily.
Geriatric patients, or in the presence of debilitating disease 2 mg to 2.5 mg, 1 or 2 times daily initially; increase gradually as needed and tolerated.
Because of varied responses to CNS-acting drugs, initiate therapy with lowest dose and increase as required. Not for use in pediatric patients under 6 months 1 mg to 2.5 mg, 3 or 4 times daily initially; increase gradually as needed and tolerated.

Why is Honor important?
Honor is synonymous to glory, respect, and distinction. This is a reward after accomplishing something successful. Honor boosts our self-esteem. It can give us more privileges and opportunities.
Honor is a highly regarded word and people who have it are considered of high value and moral worth. Honor is what other men die for because it is priceless. If man has honor, he can decide what is right from wrong, he conforms according to his conscience, and he has an excellent character that everyone looks up to.
Honor is something to be achieved. It is the accumulation of all positive undertakings and triumphant endeavors. In school and in work, a person is given honor if he gained something worthwhile. It can be in the form of medals, plaques or certificates. Most importantly, honor is not measured by the awards but with personal integrity. It’s the people who give regard of everything you have done. If you are a person with dignity and self-respect, people will bestow you the honor that you deserve.
Honor is also based from one’s character and disposition in life. It may not be visible in the eye because it is not determined by the physical aspects and material success. It is established by the building of character which is perfected because of mistakes, trials, and problems.
Honor is important because it can recognize the importance of life. Once there is honor, there is righteousness and integrity. That is why human race always recognizes characters with honorable conduct. This is to inspire the world that honor is as important as life. By having honor, moral values are achieved. BY having honor, truth will prevail. By having honor, virtue is realized.
Honor is valuable because it does not last. It is imperishable. If all men in this world has honor, the world will be a place built on trust and respect.

USING SCENARIO PLANNING TO ENHANCE COASTAL RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHANGE: COMMUNITY FUTURES IN THE ESTUARINE LANDSCAPES OF BRISBANE WATER, CENTRAL COAST, AUSTRALIA
- 1Section Manager Environmental Strategies, Central Coast Council, Gosford, NSW 2250, Australia
- 2Senior Lecturer, School of Architecture and Built Environment, University of Adelaide, Adelaide 5001, Australia
Keywords: coastal resilience, scenario planning, climate adaptation, local government, urban development
Abstract. Local governments face daunting urban planning challenges in the face of rapid population growth, increasing demand for affordable housing and climate change and divergent community perceptions. There is currently insufficient action to meet these formidable and dynamic challenges. Greater know-how and capacity development need to be invested in local planning and political authorities to promote knowledge-based action. More than two thirds of Australians reside along the coastal cities with over 15 million addresses across 544 local government areas at risk from coastal hazards from 2020 onwards (XDI, 2019). This makes it an urgent priority for local government to fast track adaptation planning for its residents in the low-lying hazard prone areas as well as Council services and infrastructure. In 2019, UNSW students from the Master of Urban Development and Design and Master of Landscape Architecture programs addressed these challenges within a design studio environment. In the studio they developed strategies for urban resilience for a network of five communities surrounding the Brisbane Waters on the Central Coast. The studio adopted an urban scenario planning approach using open source data and on-the-ground evidence to develop diverse community resilience strategies. For each community three scenarios were developed to test alternative urban design strategies and provide insight on possible contrasting futures. This paper demonstrates the benefit of evidence-based scenario planning for local authorities. Such approaches contextualise complex abstract problems and provide new insights for local climate adaptation in accessible and transparent ways. This proactive approach emphasises the need to build the urban design and planning capabilities of local authorities to enhance coastal adaption and resilience to climate change.

News that Cheniere (NYSE:LNG) signed a long-term liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply contract with China’s ENN Natural Gas (CH:600803) earlier this week marked the first major US-China deal since 2018. Over the past three years, new LNG deals between the two great powers were put on ice as rising political tensions under the Trump administration thwarted trade.
Significantly, following the Cheniere-ENN deal announced Monday, more supply contracts could follow, which could trigger several further final investment approvals for US LNG export projects, Macquarie Research said today in a note titled China opening the US LNG floodgate?
Macquarie anticipates further final investment decisions (FID) on US LNG projects. “The recent tightness in global energy markets will serve as a wake-up call for many utilities, and we expect this will be met with increased fuel contracting and hedging,” said the bank.
Consequently, Macquarie sees political and trade tensions being put aside with new deals being signed in the interest of security of energy supply.
US LNG developer Cheniere is well placed to take advantage, particularly as China’s LNG demand is strengthening as the economy ramps up following the pandemic. China’s LNG demand expanded by 22% year-on-year to 51 million tonnes over the first eight months of 2021, according to investment research firm Bernstein.
China has now overtaken Japan as the world’s biggest LNG importer. Bernstein expects China’s LNG imports will rise substantially from 60 million tonnes per year (t/) in 2020 to 95 million t/y by 2030. The surge will be driven by government policy, including coal-to-gas conversion, cleaning up air quality, and greater use of LNG vehicles.
The Cheniere-ENN deal
The price of the 13-year Cheniere-ENN deal, due to start in July 2022, was not disclosed, but based on market and industry feedback, Macquarie expects a toll rate of $2.50/MMbtu. This would be lower than Woodside’s (ASX:WPL) rate of $3.50/MMbtu from Cheniere’s Corpus Christi plant.
Cheniere brings three key benefits to the deal, said Macquarie. Firstly, access to discounted US LNG with a different cost structure, and more lifting optionality, when compared to other oil linked contracts in the broader ENN Group. Secondly, early start date within nine months next July, and crucially, prior to next year’s heating season. Thirdly, a history of reliable delivery and multi-asset portfolio, which includes Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi export plants, both of which are being expanded. Henry Hub pricing is also relatively uncorrelated to oil price, providing natural portfolio benefits to utilities, added Macquarie.
Meanwhile ENN has wanted US LNG for some time, noted the bank. “In 2018, ENN Natural Gas had agreed to take on Toshiba’s Freeport LNG T3 offtake agreement, but ultimately backed out of the deal (perhaps due to Beijing’s US trade concerns at the time the deal was being negotiated). The key attraction is introducing lower cost Henry Hub based LNG to ENN’s portfolio as all other contracts are oil linked,” said Macquarie.
ENN recently completed the expansion of its Zhoushan LNG terminal in China to 5 million t/y capacity. A third phase expansion to 10 million t/y is planned for 2024.

applied to the influence of meta- or para-substituents X on the reactivity of the functional group Y in the benzene derivative m- or p-XC6H4Y. k or K is the rate or equilibrium constant, respectively, for the given reaction of m- or p-XC6H4Y; ko or Ko refers to the reaction of C6H5Y, i.e. X = H; is the substituent constantcharacteristic of m- or p-X; is the reaction constant characteristic of the given reaction of Y. The equation is often encountered in a form with lg ko or lg Ko written as a separate term on the right hand side, e.g.
It then signifies the intercept corresponding to X = H in a regression of lg k or lg K on . HAMMETT (1940, 1970). See also -value, -constant, Taft equation, Yukawa-Tsuno equation.
Hammond principle (or Hammond postulate)
The hypothesis that, when a transition state leading to an unstable reaction intermediate (or product) has nearly the same energy as that intermediate, the two are interconverted with only a small reorganization of molecular structure. Essentially the same idea is sometimes referred to as "Leffler's assumption", namely, that the transition state bears the greater resemblance to the less stable species (reactant or reaction intermediate/product). Many text books and physical organic chemists, however, express the idea in Leffler's form, but attribute it to Hammond.
As a corollary, it follows that a factor stabilising a reaction intermediate will also stabilize the transition state leading to that intermediate.
The acronym "Bemahapothle" (Bell, Marcus, Hammond, Polanyi, Thornton, Leffler) is sometimes used in recognition of the principal contributors towards expansion of the original idea of the Hammond postulate. HAMMOND (1955); LEFFLER (1953); WILLIAMS (1984). See also FARCASIU (1975). See also More O'Ferrall-Jencks diagram.
A measure of the capability of a solute for hydrophobic (lipophilic) interaction based on the partition coefficient P for distribution of the solute between octan-1-ol and water. The most general way of applying P in correlation analysis, QSAR, etc. is as log P, but the behaviour of substituted benzene derivatives may be quantified by a substituent constant scale, , which is defined in a way analogous to the Hammett scale. There are various scales, depending on the substrate series used as reference. HANSCH and LEO (1979).
The hapto symbol, with numerical superscript, provides a topological description for the bonding of hydrocarbons and other pi-electron systems to metals, by indicating the connectivity between the ligand and the central atom. For example, 3 indicates that three atoms of the ligand are bonded to the central atom. IUPAC INORGANIC NOMENCLATURE (1990).
A Lewis acid with an acceptor centre of low polarizability. Other things being approximately equal, complexes of hard acids and bases or soft acids and bases have an added stabilization (sometimes called "HSAB" rule). For example the hard O- (or N-) bases are preferred to their S- (or P-) analogues by hard acids. Conversely a "soft acid" possesses an acceptor centre of high polarizability and exhibits the reverse preference for coordination of a soft base. These preferences are not defined in a quantitative sense. See PEARSON (1963, 1973); HO (1977). See also class (a) metal ion, hard base.
A Lewis base with a donor centre (e.g. an oxygen atom) of low polarizability; the converse applies to "soft bases". See also hard acid.
heat capacity of activation, Cpo (SI unit: J mol-1 K-1)
A quantity related to the temperature coefficient of H (enthalpy of activation) and S (entropy of activation) according to the equations:
If the rate constant is expressible in the form ln k = a/T + b + c ln T + dT, then
See KOHNSTAM (1967).
An equation of the form
for the calculation of the pH of solutions where the ratio [HA]/[A-] is known.
A metal complex having two different metal atoms.
+(1) Association between a base and the conjugate acid of a different base through a hydrogen bond
+(2) Some authors refer to conjugated systems containing a heteroatom, e.g. pyridine, as "heteroconjugated systems". This usage is discouraged since it inappropriately suggests an analogy to homoconjugation (2), and conflicts with the currently accepted definition of that term.
Transition metal or Main Group compounds having more than one type of ligand. See also homoleptic.
The cleavage of a covalent bond so that both bonding electrons remain with one of the two fragments between which the bond is broken, e.g.
Heterolytic bond fission is a feature of many bimolecular reactions in solution (e.g., electrophilic substitution, nucleophilic substitution). See also homolysis, heterolytic bond-dissociation energy.
heterolytic bond-dissociation energy
The energy required to break a given bond of some specific compound by heterolysis. For the dissociation of a neutral molecule AB in the gas phase into A+ and B- the heterolytic bond-dissociation energy D(A+B-) is the sum of the bond dissociation energy, D(A-B), and the adiabatic ionization energy of the radical A. minus the electron affinity of the radical B..
See ion-pair return.
A parameter measuring the cohesion of a solvent (energy required to create a cavity in the solvent). CHASTRETTE, RAJZMANN, CHANON, and PURCELL (1985).
"The principal alkene formed in the decomposition of quaternary ammonium hydroxides that contain different primary alkyl groups is always ethylene, if an ethyl group is present." Originally given in this limited form by A.W. Hofmann, the rule has since been extended and modified as follows: "When two or more alkenes can be produced in a -elimination reaction, the alkene having the smallest number of alkyl groups attached to the double bond carbon atoms will be the predominant product." This orientation described by the Hofmann rule is observed in elimination reactions of quaternary ammonium salts and tertiary sulfonium salts, and in certain other cases. HOFMANN (1851). See also Saytzeff rule.
(1) An acronym for Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital. See frontier orbitals.
(2) A prefix (consisting of lower case letters, homo,) used to indicate a higher homologue of a compound.
Whereas in an aromatic molecule there is continuous overlap of p-orbitals over a cyclic array of atoms, in a homoaromatic molecule there is a formal discontinuity in this overlap resulting from the presence of a single sp3 hybridized atom at one or several positions within the ring; p-orbital overlap apparently bridges these sp3 centres, and features associated with aromaticity are manifest in the properties of the compound. Pronounced homoaromaticity is not normally associated with neutral molecules, but mainly with species bearing an electrical charge, e.g., the "homotropylium" cation, C8H9+,
In bis, tris, (etc.) homoaromatic species, two, three, (etc.) single sp3 centres separately interrupt the pi-electron system. See also homoconjugation (2).
+ (1) Association between a base and its conjugate acid through a hydrogen bond (
(2) The orbital overlap of two pi systems separated by a non-conjugating group, such as CH2.
See also conjugate acid-base pair, conjugated system, homoaromatic.
Transition metal or Main Group compounds having only one type of ligand are said to be homoleptic, e.g. TaMe5. See also heteroleptic.
The cleavage of a bond ("homolytic cleavage" or "homolytic fission") so that each of the molecular fragments between which the bond is broken retains one of the bonding electrons. A unimolecular reaction involving homolysis of a bond (not forming part of a cyclic structure) in a molecular entity containing an even number of (paired) electrons results in the formation of two radicals:
It is the reverse of colligation. Homolysis is also commonly a feature of bimolecular substitution reactions (and of other reactions) involving radicals and molecules. See also bond dissociation energy, heterolysis.
A molecular entity that forms complexes with organic or inorganic guests, or a chemical species that can accommodate guests within cavities of its crystal structure. Examples include cryptands and crowns (where there are ion-dipole attractions between heteroatoms and positive ions), hydrogen-bonded molecules that form "clathrates" (e.g. hydroquinone and water), and host molecules of inclusion compounds (e.g. urea or thiourea). van der Waals forces and hydrophobic interactions bind the guest to the host molecule in clathrates and inclusion compounds.
Hückel (4n + 2) rule
Monocyclic planar (or almost planar) systems of trigonally (or sometimes digonally) hybridized atoms that contain
This rule is derived from the Hückel MO calculation on planar monocyclic conjugated hydrocarbons (CH)m where m is an integer equal to or greater than 3 according to which
Systems containing 4n electrons (such as cyclobutadiene and the cyclopentadienyl cation) are "antiaromatic". See also conjugation, Möbius aromaticity.
Linear combination of atomic orbitals on an atom. Hybrid orbitals are often used in organic chemistry to describe the bonding molecules containing tetrahedral (sp3), trigonal (sp2), and digonal (sp) atoms.
Addition of water or of the elements of water (i.e. H and OH) to a molecular entity. For example, hydration of ethene:
The term is also used in a more restricted sense for the process:
cf. the use of the term in inorganic/physical chemistry to describe the state of the ions of an electrolyte in aqueous solution. AHRLAND (1979). See also aquation, solvation.
The hydrogen bond is a form of association between an electronegative atom and a hydrogen atom attached to a second, relatively electronegative atom. It is best considered as an electrostatic interaction, heightened by the small size of hydrogen, which permits proximity of the interacting dipoles or charges. Both electronegative atoms are usually (but not necessarily) from the first row of the Periodic Table, i.e., N, O, or F. Hydrogen bonds may be intermolecular or intramolecular. With a few exceptions, usually involving fluorine, the associated energies are less than 20-25 kJ mol-1 (5-6 kcal mol-1).
Solvolysis by water.
General name for the ion H+ either in natural abundance, or where it is not desired to distinguish between the isotopes, as opposed to proton for 1H+, deuteron for 2H+ and triton for 3H+. IUPAC NAMES FOR HYDROGEN ATOMS (1988).
"Water loving". The capacity of a molecular entity or of a substituent to interact with polar solvents, in particular with water, or with other polar groups.
The tendency of hydrocarbons (or of lipophilic hydrocarbon-like groups in solutes) to form intermolecular aggregates in an aqueous medium, and analogous intramolecular interactions. The name arises from the attribution of the phenomenon to the apparent repulsion between water and hydrocarbons. However, the phenomenon ought to be attributed to the effect of the hydrocarbon-like groups on the water-water interaction. The misleading alternative term "hydrophobic bond" is discouraged.
In the formalism that separates bonds into and types, hyperconjugation is the interaction of -bonds (e.g. C-H, C-C, etc.) with a network. This interaction is customarily illustrated by contributing structures, e.g. for toluene (below), sometimes said to be an example of "heterovalent" or "sacrificial hyperconjugation", so named because the contributing structure contains one two-electron bond less than the normal Lewis formula for toluene
At present, there is no evidence for sacrificial hyperconjugation in neutral hydrocarbons.
The concept of hyperconjugation is also applied to carbenium ions and radicals, where the interaction is now between -bonds and an unfilled or partially filled or p-orbital. A contributing structure illustrating this for the tert-butyl cation is:
This latter example is sometimes called an example of "isovalent hyperconjugation" (the contributing structure containing the same number of two-electron bonds as the normal Lewis formula).
Both structures shown on the right hand side are also examples of "double bond- no-bond resonance".
The interaction between filled or p orbitals and adjacent antibonding * orbitals is referred to as "negative hyperconjugation", as for example in the fluoroethyl anion:
RADOM (1982). See also sigma pi (, ), n-* delocalization.
Shift of a spectral band to higher frequency or shorter wavelength upon substitution or change in medium. It is informally referred to as blue shift. IUPAC PHOTOCHEMICAL GLOSSARY (1988). See also bathochromic shift.

When the Cygnus cargo spacecraft that launched out of Virginia to the International Space Station in September finally splashed down in the Pacific last month, it signaled more than the state's giant leap into the commercial space industry.
It signaled a successful end to NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services, or COTS, program — the space agency's ambitious partnership with two private companies to develop a cost-effective way to get payload to and from the space station and low-Earth orbit.
But as the COTS program ends, NASA's Commercial Resupply Services program kicks into high gear as both companies are now cleared to resupply the space station for the next several years. Eight of those missions are set to launch out of Virginia's Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport on Wallops Island through 2016. The first is set for Dec. 15.
"America's best days in space exploration are ahead of us, thanks to the grit and determination of those in government and the private sector who dare to dream big dreams and have the skills to turn them into reality," NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in a press briefing Wednesday that was streamed live on its website.
He appeared at NASA headquarters to recognize a "milestone moment" with representatives from those partners, including Orbital Sciences Corporation, the Dulles-based maker of the Cygnus and the medium-lift Antares that boosted the cargo craft into space from a new launch pad built at MARS to accommodate bigger rockets.
"Orbital was founded on the premise of commercial access to space," said Frank L. Culbertson Jr., Orbital's executive vice president. "We've been doing that for almost 30 years, so this was a great step in what we think is the right direction."
He offered kudos to the Orbital team, to MARS and to the Virginia Department of Transportation, which oversees the spaceport through the Virginia Commercial Space Flight Authority.
Also appearing was Gwynne Shotwell, head of Space Exploration Technologies Corp, or SpaceX, NASA's other COTS partner. SpaceX is set to make its next mission to deliver supplies to the space station in February.
Shotwell and others touted the partnership not only for getting the U.S. back in the space transport business in a safe and cost-effective way, but for bringing critical jobs and launch capabilities back to American soil.
It also allows NASA to concentrate on getting U.S. astronauts back into space. On Tuesday, Bolden said, the agency is issuing its final request for proposals for Commercial Crew Transportation Capability contracts to develop next-generation rockets and spacecraft to transport crews to and from the space station by 2017. For now, the U.S. relies on Russian Soyuz spacecraft to ferry American astronauts.
Public-private partnerships won't be appropriate for all its endeavors, NASA officials said, but for when they are, COTS provides a template for success, especially as sequestration spending cuts and other cutbacks plunder NASA's ever-shrinking budget.
"With the budget challenges we are all facing, partnerships are going to be critical," said Phil McAlister, director of NASA's Commercial Spaceflight Development. "COTS has given us the confidence to do more of that."
Shotwell pushed for bigger allocations for NASA, which she says does "an extraordinary amount of work" with about $17 billion a year. By comparison, she said, each year Americans spend about $100 billion on beer.

Though pharmacy practice has changed significantly in recent years and continues to evolve towards the provision of better pharmaceutical care, pharmacists represent an under-utilised but potential resource to optimize the usage of drugs. Studies have shown that a clinical pharmacist can reduce health service use and costs while improving the appropriateness of drug prescribing.,, Medication errors most often occur due to insufficient information and time during prescription. The present study was carried out by the Department of Pharmacy Practice, established in July 2001 at Kasturba Hospital, a tertiary care teaching hospital in Manipal, India. The objective was to survey clinical interventions by clinical pharmacists, and their acceptance by clinicians.
A standard format was designed to collect relevant data for each intervention such as brief details of the patient, medications, problem identified, physician's response and follow up, if any. Intervention for study purpose was defined as an action by a pharmacist which resulted in a change in the patient's therapeutic management. Clinical pharmacists routinely monitored patients' drug therapy and interviewed them, when necessary. Any drug-related problem was identified and discussed during the ward rounds with the physicians concerned. A drug related problem can be defined as any event or circumstance involving the drug treatment, which interferes or potentially interferes with the patient, achieving an optimum outcome of medical care. Eight categories of drug related problems are identified by Hepler CD and Strand LM in 1990. They are: a) untreated indication, b) inappropriate drug selection, c) sub-therapeutic dose d) overdosage, e) adverse drug reaction f) failure to receive the drug, g) drug interaction and h) drug use without indication.
All the interventions, over a period of 3 years between July 2001 and December 2004, were evaluated for their appropriateness. Out of 188 interventions, 178 were analysable. The remaining could not be analysed due to incompleteness. Also, all the interventions were done on in-patients, due to limited pharmacist manpower. For the same reason, pharmacists were recruited in speciality wards and neurology, nephrology and PTCD (pulmonary, thorax and chest department) on a project basis only. The pharmacist:patient ratio was on an average of 1:20 in 7 medicine units and all speciality units. All the pharmacists were either full-time faculty members or postgraduate students in clinical pharmacy.
There were only 2 (1.13%) interventions observed between July 2001 and December 2002. Nevertheless, there was a constant upsurge observed in the number of clinical interventions in 2002, 2003 and 2004, i.e. 28 (15.73%), 62 (34.83%) and 87 (48.88%) respectively.
Most of the interventions (171) were done in general medicine wards (96.1%). The remaining were done in cardiology 3 (1.69%), PTCD 1 (0.56%), neurology 2 (1.12%), nephrology 1 (0.56%). The various categories of drug related problems identified by clinical pharmacists and the responses of the health care professionals to these clinical interventions, during the above period, are listed in [Table - 1][Table - 2].
Out of the 178 interventions analysed, the interventions by pharmacists were accepted and the prescriptions altered accordingly in 139 cases (78.1%). There were 20 (11.2%) other interventions where suggestions were accepted, but therapy was not changed either because the physicians were hesitant to change the prescription immediately, without close monitoring, or because the suggestions were thought to be insignificant.
In 15 (8.4%) cases, the suggestions were neither accepted nor therapy changed. One of the reasons for this could be that the pharmacists failed to understand the sophisticated prescribing behaviour i.e., prescribing decisions governed by clinical experience of physicians For instance, a patient, with Type 2 DM and hyperlipidaemia, on insulin and capsule fenofibrate, complained of myalgia. The pharmacist suspected fenofibrate-induced myotoxicity and suggested a test for creatin kinase levels, while the physician believed that the pain was neuropathic in nature, not muscular, so, it was unlikely to be related to fenofibrate.
The most common drug-related problem (31.46%) was that patients' dosage adjustments were not based on renal and hepatic status. Improper dosage administration ranked second in the intervention category (14.60%), followed by drug therapy (11.80%) related interventions such as improper selection of the drug in the case of antibiotics, improper time of administration of the drug to reduce CNS symptoms and so on. Interventions were also done when there was a possibility of ADR or drug interaction (11.24%) due to predisposing factors. [Table - 1]
The guidelines followed for drug therapy monitoring (DTM) in patients are 'Practice, Standards and Definitions' by the Society of Hospital Pharmacists of Australia (as we don't have any Indian guidelines) for clinical pharmacy services such as medication history interviews of patients, drug therapy monitoring which includes medication order review, adverse drug reaction management, therapeutic drug monitoring and so on. Interventions related to identification of ADRs were observed in 14 (7.87%) cases, followed by pregnancy and lactation related interventions in 2 (1.12%) cases. Miscellaneous errors (3.93%) included doctors not prescribing drugs which the patient needed or prescribing drugs which the patient did not need. There were instances when medication was prescribed by the physician, but the treatment chart was not updated and the omission error was detected by the pharmacist.
Over 10% of the interventions was deemed to have reduced the probability of re-admission of the patient due to potential ADR and drug interaction. Similarly, cases, where dosage was sub-optimal, over-dosage or presence of indication but no medication would have either caused treatment failure, disease relapse or prolonged hospital stay, were also observed and documented.
Therefore, clinical pharmacist interventions can have a positive impact on reducing drug-related errors in overall patient care. Physicians were receptive to the recommendations to resolve drug related problems, suggesting that a joint effort between physicians and pharmacist is possible.

The esteemed Royal North Devon has become the first known golf club in the country to ban the use of plastic tees on its course.
Founded in 1864, the club, near Bideford, is the oldest in England and regarded by many as the 'St Andrews of the South'.
From January 1, 2020, its pro shop will sell only wooden tees, with extra tee bins to be provided around the course.
The club has made the bold move in order to protect local wildlife.
A statement on the club website said: "We have all seen golf tees lying around the course, both wooden and plastic. The simple fact is that plastic tees are more likely to harm the birds and animals we share our wonderful course with. The greenkeepers will also tell you that they can do a great deal more harm to their equipment than a wooden tee.
"So, from the start of the new decade we would like all golfers to only use wooden tees and the pro shop will only supply wooden tees."
WATCH - HOW TO SHOOT LOWER SCORES
The club's course is located on common ground adjacent to Westward Ho! beach and is grazed by sheep and horses.
The statement added: "If you see a plastic tee (or a wooden one for that matter) that has been discarded please place it in one of the "tee bins" provided. There will soon be more of these for the other tee areas.
Committee member Richard Hughes told the BBC
: "We want to keep the golf course as clean and natural as possible.
"Nature has been giving us a hard time recently and we want to placate nature to some extent.
"Birds pick up the plastic tees that are often garishly coloured and they drop them all over the place, including on the beach and in the sea. We have found tees in birds nests before."

Britain was better prepared to use the sources of its automotive industry, at that time the world’s second largest. The shadow factories became operative, and Austin, Morris, Customary, Daimler, Ford, and Rootes participated in filling the wartime demand for plane and plane engines. Leyland Motors and Vauxhall built tanks. Lord Nuffield made a notable contribution to the production effort by establishing a system for repairing plane, employing the gross sales and service group of Morris Motors, and it was subsequently extended to a large number of small contractors.

Like different hydrocarbons, gasoline burns in a restricted range of its vapor phase and, coupled with its volatility, this makes leaks extremely harmful when sources of ignition are present. Gasoline has a decrease explosive limit of 1.four% by volume and an upper explosive restrict of seven.6%. If the concentration is beneath 1.4%, the air-gasoline mixture is just too lean and does not ignite. If the concentration is above 7.6%, the combination is simply too wealthy and also does not ignite. Nevertheless, gasoline vapor quickly mixes and spreads with air, making unconstrained gasoline shortly flammable.
Gasoline stability necessities are set by the usual ASTM D4814. This standard describes the varied traits and requirements of automotive fuels for use over a variety of operating conditions in floor automobiles geared up with spark-ignition engines.

Kyselica: Soup with soul
Back in the 14th-17th centuries, when Romanian shepherds invented a nutrition-loaded, wholesome cabbage soup, they had no clue that it would continue as the meal of choice for labourers in the Wallachian Kingdom of Moravia, and go on to endure as a staple of authentic Czech cuisine. Kyselica is that much-loved soup everyone recognises, but doesn’t quite relate to all the fuss surrounding it, till the first sizzling sips trickles down one’s throat.
You can easily pick up the subtle yet strong blend of individual textures and flavours making up this thick beef broth. Potatoes, shredded pickled cabbage, and cubes of smoked meat or bratwurst are the non-negotiables, but for experimental tasters, popular options on the list include mushrooms, bacon, onions, and/or sausage. One big steaming bowl of goodness spells utter satiation with just a crusty bread roll for company.

If you look at it just right, the universal radiation warning symbol looks a bit like an angel. The circle in the middle could indicate the head, the lower part might be the body, and the upper two arms of the trefoil could represent the wings. Looking at it another way, one might see it as a wheel, a triangular boomerang, a circular saw blade, or any number of relatively benign objects. Whatever a person’s first impression of it may be, someone unfamiliar with the symbol probably wouldn’t guess that it means “Danger! These rocks shoot death rays!”
The U.S. Department of Energy has been grappling with that problem recently, as they designed the warning markers to use at Yucca Mountain and at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) nuclear waste storage facilities. There’s no telling who might be around to exhume our radioactive sins in future centuries, but the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandates that warnings be erected which will warn away potential intruders for the next 10,000 years, whomever those intruders may be.
The offending nuclear waste will be stored far underground at each of these facilities, but there is still a danger that future generations might stumble across it. WIPP is located in the desert outside Carlsbad, New Mexico, and its storage areas are located 2,150 feet underground. Yucca Mountain’s facilities in the Nevada desert are intended to house waste at 1,000 feet deep. Between the two, they are meant to entomb tens of thousands of metric tons of nuclear waste, most of which will remain dangerous for centuries. Each of these locations was selected due to its relative geologic stability, theoretically allowing facilities there to contain the waste for the required 10,000 years.
Ten thousand years ago, early humans were still painting images on the walls of caves. Some of those primitive messages managed to survive ten millennia, and they also remain somewhat meaningful. But of course our ancient cave-painting ancestors weren’t attempting to illustrate complex ideas as far as we know.
Before one can communicate with unknown future societies about deadly nuclear waste, it is important to consider with whom precisely one is trying to communicate. Such people may be part of a highly advanced civilization, they may be a society much less advanced than our own, or they may have comparable technology to that which we have today. Further, they may not be directly descended from local cultures. Messages will thus need to communicate to anyone— regardless of their culture, technology, or political structure— that intruding upon the repository is not in their best interest.
The essence of the message itself is simple: Warning, dangerous materials are buried below. But how to communicate this to all possible discoverers using an enduring medium? To help answer this question during the preparations for the WIPP facility, panels of experts were assembled comprised of individuals with backgrounds in history, future studies, economics, law, physics, sociology, geography, engineering, political science, risk analysis, agriculture, climatology, history, and demographics. This group was called the Futures Panel, and they were tasked with creatively exploring the possible reasons why a future society might penetrate these deep underground storage facilities. They were also asked to advise on how to universally warn away would-be intruders.
The potential causes of future intrusion were imagined to be: water impoundment, resource exploration/extraction, scientific investigations, archaeological exploration, reopening the facilities for additional storage, waste disposal by injection wells, explosive testing, underground transportation tunnels, and weather modification. With these possibilities under consideration, the Futures Panel proceeded with the assumption that intelligent beings would halt any of these activities if the monuments were successful at conveying their warning. The panel roughly defined the intended message with the following:
This place is a message… and part of a system of messages… pay attention to it!Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.
This place is not a place of honor…no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here… nothing valued is here.
What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.
The danger is in a particular location… it increases toward a center… the center of danger is here… of a particular size and shape, and below us.
The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.
The danger is to the body, and it can kill.
The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.
The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.
The ideas that sprang from the panel were varied and interesting. It was decided that the markers would need to be designed to impart multiple levels of information, ranging from the rudimentary— something made by humans is here— to the more complex, such as the exact composition of the waste. This approach, coupled with redundancy, was hoped to allow future discoverers to realize that the site was significant, but also providing detailed information should future society have the means to read the data. They also pointed out that the markers should be made of ordinary materials and absent of beauty, lest the finders see value in removing the markers from the site.
Panelists described culture-independent ideas which are intended to trigger the danger reflex in all of humanity. One example indicated a massive “landscape of thorns,” made up of fifty-foot-high concrete spires with sharp points jutting out at all angles. Another intriguing idea was an arrangement of gigantic, black, “forbidding blocks” which are too close together and too hot to provide shelter.
Ultimately, the decision for the WIPP markers was motivated by cost-effectiveness. Current plans call for the area over the waste storage panels to be outlined by “earthen berms,” which is another way of saying “large piles of dirt.” These berms will be jagged in shape and will radiate out from a central, generally square area. The jagged nature of the berms is meant to convey a sense of foreboding, and the exact size, shape, and configuration of the berms will be such that they will not quickly be eroded or covered. The four corner berms will be higher than the others to provide vantage points to see the area as a whole. Inside the corner berms will also be buried concrete rooms containing highly detailed information, such as maps, the periodic table, and astronomical charts indicating the date that the facility was sealed. This data will be engraved upon stone slabs which are too large to be removed from the rooms’ entrances.
Inside of the square arrangement of berms, multiple granite “message kiosks” will be engraved with more basic information describing the site’s contents. This text will be provided in all of the official UN languages and Navajo (the local indigenous language). Additionally, space will be left on the kiosks for a future generation to inscribe the message in another language. The granite surfaces will be protected by a concrete “mother” wall, and the messages will be placed up high to prevent them from being defaced or buried by the desert sand.
Lastly, the berms and the area they surround will be peppered with underground “time capsules” at varying depths. These clay, ceramic, glass, and aluminum oxide disks will be inscribed with warning information, and may contain samples of wood to allow a future society to date the
markers using carbon-14 dating.
The plans for the Yucca Mountain warning markers are a bit different. Twenty-five foot monuments are intended to be inscribed with text and pictographs warning visitors of the dangers below, as well as a series of nine-inch markers embedded in the earth. Surrounding the area will be several large information-center monuments in the shape of the universal radiation symbol.
Other creative suggestions have been put forward for these warning markers, some of them coming from outside of the official panels. For instance, one individual suggested planting genetically-engineered blue cacti at the site to indicate its importance. Another suggested leaving significant human remains above-ground at the site, to frighten off any who might stumble across it. Still others advised against erecting any warning monuments at all, worrying that the markers themselves— if not properly interpreted— may rouse the curiosity of their discoverers enough that they might explore further, to disastrous ends.
In any case, WIPP is not scheduled to be sealed until the year 2038, and Yucca Mountain may be operating well into the 24th century; so humanity still has a little time to contemplate its warning to the future.

How to Say No to A Person With Substance Use Disorder
If you are a parent, partner, or other loved one of a person with a substance use disorder, you’re probably put in some painful situations when your loved one asks for something. You may have helped them in the past with money, paying bills, or even giving them rides to places. Yet you never quite know if they’re telling the truth and often wonder if your “help” has done more harm than good.
Loving somebody with substance use disorder can be challenging. Learning to set boundaries and say "No" can help you transform the relationship and make room to take care of your own needs.
What Happens When You Say No?
What is the worst thing that you think will happen if you tell your loved one that no? For example, what will they do if you say you cannot help them with money this week? Many parents, for example, think their child will stop calling or interacting with them if they cut off the financial support.
More often than not, your loved will keep calling and will continue to ask you for things. This is why it’s so important to have a plan on what your boundaries are, and stick with them.
You may not be willing to cut your child off completely, but setting boundaries is still essential. Let them know you love them, and you want them to get help for their substance use disorder. They can come over for dinner, but only when they are sober. You will take them shopping for groceries, but only when they are sober. You may not want to give your adult child money, but you may be okay with paying their phone bill this month, but not next month. Or you may not want to give them any help at all until they are sober.
When you say no, it’s also an opportunity to give your loved one an alternative or tell them you’ll help them with finding a 12-step meeting or detox. Let your loved one know how you can support them when they’re willing to get the help they need for substance use.
Saying No Can Be Challenging
You may have to say “No” more than once. This is because your loved one may be used to getting their way, so when you say no, they may not believe it at first.
“No” is a complete sentence; you don’t owe somebody who is asking you for something an explanation.
Sometimes, when you learn to say “No,” you may feel the anger behind the word. Getting angry, going into loud, irate explanations, or hanging up on your loved one will leave you feeling guilty. (Then you may be tempted to call them back and say, “I changed my mind.”)
Say “No,” and be polite and kind, and take a deep breath. Your loved one will have to accept that you’ve said no, and they may get upset. If you start to get angry, tell them you will call them back later. Wait until you’re calm and collected to do so.
Nobody is going to change overnight. Your loved one didn’t become addicted overnight, and they aren’t going to get sober overnight. When they first get sober, it will take a while for them to change their lifestyle and behavior. Likewise, changes in your relationship dynamic aren’t going to happen overnight, either. But by setting boundaries, you’ve already started to take care of yourself.
Once you’ve said "No" to your loved one, it’s time to put yourself first. Be gentle when you begin setting boundaries. Reward yourself with self-care time. This means spending at least 15 minutes a day doing something healthy that helps you unwind. This could be meditation, taking a walk, yoga, or another activity that helps relax you.
Joining a group like Al-Anon may help you learn more coping tools for living with a person with an addiction. Some people even benefit from interventions but getting help for yourself is important.
Help for Addiction
If you or somebody you love has a problem with drugs or alcohol, we’re here to help! You deserve a chance to reclaim your life. Learn more about your options by giving us a call.
If you or a loved one is looking for an effective drug rehab in San Diego, call 619-363-4767. One of our caring members is ready to answer all of your questions.

Enjoy your day where nature, science, and culture meet at The Witte Museum! Rotating exhibits fill the recently-renovated space with history, storytelling, and interactive family-friendly fun.
The Witte Museum inspires people to shape the future of Texas through transformative experiences. Botanist and high school teacher, Ellen Schultz Quillin, started the museum for the growing city of San Antonio in 1923. The museum grew rapidly through the 1920s and 1930s with many additions of paintings and historical artifacts. The collection additions included some of the most important pieces in the now vast Witte holdings.

Endofer 20 is a product formulated on the basis of a trivalent iron molecular complex, characterized by its low viscosity, high degree of absorption, high availability and harmless to the injection site.
Endofer 20 has a different technology that allows it to be presented in a practical and convenient collapsible plastic container that favors its complete use avoiding waste, its design also allows adapting the container to a Ferromatic Automatic Syringe that facilitates and speeds up the injection of large groups of animals without risk of wrong dosage.
Endofer 20 is a solution of iron dextran at 20% of trivalent elemental iron. Iron dextran is indicated in the prevention and treatment of iron-deficient anemias of domestic animals, in particular pigs. In fact, at birth, piglets have little or no iron reserves and therefore need larger amounts than those they can get from the sow’s milk. The industrial management of the farms, with the consequent lack of access to free land, favors the onset of ferroprive anemias. The consequences of this release manifest themselves already at 3-4 days from birth, with high mortality rates and with the arrest of growth in superstitious piglets an increased sensitivity towards infectious diseases. A single injection of 0, 5 ml of Endofer 20 per third at the sixth day of life is sufficient to provide piglets with an amount of iron 4 or 5 times greater than that which can be supplied by the milk of the sow in the first three weeks of life critical. dextran is in fact a complex with a high content of elemental iron, which is used completely by the body, because, due to its structural characteristics, it is absorbed quickly and completely and distributed to the red blood cell production centers and to the organs that they store it to provide for subsequent iron needs. It follows therefore an effect that is ready and at the same time prolonged in time. Although Endofer 20 is a concentrated solution of iron dextran, it is equipped with low viscosity which makes it easy to inject and with the least loss of substance, because it does not adhere to the walls of the bottle or syringe. It does not cause pain or irritation at the point of injection, it does not damage muscle tissue or color meat.
Composition1 ml contains: iron dextran equal to Iron element 200 mg; phenol 5 mg.
qb to 1 ml.
Prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemias in piglets and calves.
CONTRAINDICATIONS / SECONDARY EFFECTS:
ContraindicationsDo not administer to animals with known hypersensitivity towards iron dextran.
USE / ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION:
The indicated doses should be administered intramuscularly, in the thigh muscle or intraperitoneally (in piglets, in particular).
Dosage and method of use Washers Anemia prevention: 0.5 ml per head, at 4 days of age. Repeat after 3 weeks if necessary. Anemia therapy: 0.5 ml per head, at the onset of the first symptoms. the symptoms are serious, double the dose or repeat it after 10-14 days. Vitamins: 2.5 ml per head.
Storage Store at room temperature, away from light and sources of heat.
Waiting time: Meat: 0 days.

Starting tomorrow, visitors to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, will have a rare opportunity to experience what usually occurs behind the scenes in conservation labs.
WALTHAM, Mass. — Who Does She Think She Is? is a remarkable monographic exhibition of Rosalyn Drexler’s varied work.
By the logic of the tiny house movement, a whimsical architectural response to the housing crisis, tinier is better, right?
BOSTON — Texture, structure, and motion are the center of #techstyle, which opened last month at the Museum of Fine Arts here.
BOSTON — It’s snowing hard outside, and it’s a Saturday, but the second-floor hallway of the city’s newest municipal building — its school department headquarters — is filled with artists and bureaucrats.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — The small (but densely layered, as always) collection of Ann Hirsch’s work in the Bakalar Gallery at MIT’s List Center is Boston’s first introduction to her art.
BOSTON — Last weekend, gallery guards of the Museum of Fine Arts were standing outside the institution’s main entrance on Huntington Avenue holding signs, passing out leaflets, and singing as part of their ongoing protest.
BOSTON — There is brick dust everywhere: on shoes, on clothes, on the street. Most of it makes it into the field chalker, which has already marked three miles of sidewalk.
The Asian influence on arts and crafts of the Americas goes back centuries earlier than most people think.
You might say that Boston was to John Singer Sargent what Florence was to Michelangelo.
Following on the heels of New York, London, and many other urban centers, Boston is the latest city to envision how best to manage the certainty of rising water levels due to global warming.
Imagine you were creating a time capsule that would summarize American life today. What would you put in it: A smart phone? A kindle? Maybe a few seasons of NCIS or Orange Is the New Black?

Boston: Samuel Colman, nd (1846). Wraps. Charming early hand colored Boston chapbook, the tale of 2 boys contemplating skipping school but scared out of doing so by an echo, followed by an explanation of the cause of echoes.
A bit of period penmanship practice at the top of the front wrapper, and an 1846 inscription at the title page, "Ambrose Burnham Hart, from his affectionate Aunt Anne Smyth-Stuart, 25 Dec. 1846, Xmas Day - La Grange".
Ambrose Burnham Hart was born 25 January 1844 (so was 3 when given this gift). He was the son of Elizabeth Nichols and Benjamin Hall Hart (born Hempstead, died Poughkeepsie NY), who established a family home in LaGrange NY called "Heartsease".
Ambrose Hart moved with his brothers from New York to Federal Point, Florida after fighting in the Civil War, and established one of the early orange and citrus fruit groves in the area. They bought the land from John Francis Tenney, living in slave cabins on the property until they could build their own home.
8vo, 15pp, hand colored illustration on inside cover, 5 full page wood cut hand colored illustrations. In the original yellow paper wrappers, with an early hand stitched spine obviously carried out at the same time as the stitched repairs to the pages. The title page and the Explanation page with very careful contemporary stitched repairs to diagonal tear, indicating the esteem in which this item was held. With woodcut illustration at front wrapper of the 2 boys climbing a gate, with the title "The Echo". Wrappers a bit dusty and rubbed, a bit few closed tears, small loss to upper corner front wrapper. OCLC: 51883123 records 2 copies, at the University of Florida and Yale. Good + overall. Item #22634

This is a translated version from Lin Liangchuan’s article on facebook, the founder of his Fascia and bone adjustment method, which I am very interested in and have seen some amazing results of it. The other article about the Yoga is a better explanation of his theory, however both articles seem controversial. I’ve tried to get the author’s permission for publishing it but failed. Please contact me if there’s any copyright issue. (My English is not good, fortunately I’m not making a living on translation)
Treating the disease with just hands, working from the spine is the most common and popular practice. It is common to get instant result from it, but when looking beyond this medical point of view, although the result is instant, if we look further towards long term effect, it may be a different story.
Structurally, the body’s activities, the spine is used as a supportive part for the use of the limbs. The spine is passive in the use of the body. Except for the cervical spine, the spine does not have the opportunity and ability to actively move and change.
Unless because of injuries, the change of the form of body structure is mainly due to the structure of the limbs. It is a result of collapsed stack of peripheral muscles. The change of the feet or hands causes the vertical axis and horizontal axis to change, and the spine is changed as a result of it.
The shape of each part of the body is formed by compensating the entire three-dimensional structure network of human body, and the type of each part is interacted with and associated with this entire three-dimensional structure network. If the fascia locked at the end of the extremities is not unraveled, the tendon turning adhesion deep in the joints of the extremities is not unraveled, there is no way to truly change the entire three-dimensional structure network.
Therefore, if the fascia system of the extremities is not unraveled, direct adjustment of the pelvic spine will only disrupt the alignment of the different layers of the fascia in the trunk. It is impossible to truly change the position of the pelvis and the spine.
Regardless of the form change of the structure, or the priority of treatment, the shape of the spine and pelvis is determined, and it is only the last result, which is never the cause.
The reason for the appearance of symptoms of diseases, apart from direct nerve root compression, are all because of fascia system disorders, which make the muscle contraction dysfunction, and blockages in intestinal and visceral rhythm (so restoring the internal organs’ rhythm without seeing and restore the fascia system disorder, is just nonsense) which in turn leads the emergence of the circulatory system.
Therefore, the chiropractic theory believes that most of the dysfunction of the body is due to problems with the spine which leads to oppression of the nerves, this theory is fundamentally problematic, and their treatment does not focus on restoring the entire fascia system, but directly from the vertebrae. Disregarding the necessity of balanced tension on the whole fascia system, would make the problem more complicated.
The treatment like chiropractic, many of its effects are based on the intention of building the structure and the elimination of symptoms. There is no concept of restoration, which cannot be called a real cure. In fact, it is more like taking Panadol while having a headache.
If the palpation is done delicately, you will know that the directly adjusted pelvis and spine will be brought back to the original state by the fascia system of the limbs after patient’s slight active movements. The deep muscles beside the spine, because their alignment with outer muscles becomes worse, often aggravating the complexity of the disease, while appearing to be eliminating the symptoms.
Chiropractic gun is also a popular direct treatment of the spine, it’s a tool that can quickly generate vibrational forces at a single point.
They believe that the benefits of this tool are fast and accurate, and the strength can reach deep, and the dislocated spine can be corrected when the muscles are too late to respond.
The advantages they think are precisely the places where I think this medical point of view is most problematic. The spine is the result of the coordination of compensation of the whole system. The dislocation of the vertebral body is pulled by the whole system. By adjusting the strength of the surrounding vertical and horizontal axes is adjusted, the dislocated vertebral body will naturally return to the body and directly correct the spine. Working directly on the spine, is just dispersing the tension to other places, and even likely to increase the tension of the real problematic lesions more. Therefore, using this tool, is a kind of disregarding cause and effect, and the treatment is of wrong priority, in addition to a brief disruption of the fascial system to eliminate symptoms, only makes more problems to complicate the disease.

Ethiopia, officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, is a landlocked country in the Horn of Africa. It shares borders with Eritrea to the north, Djibouti to the northeast, Somalia to the east and northeast, Kenya to the south, South Sudan to the west, and Sudan to the northwest. Ethiopia has a total area of 1,100,000 square kilometres (420,000 sq mi). It is home to 117 million inhabitants, making it the 12th-most populous country in the world and the 2nd-most populous in Africa after Nigeria. The national capital and largest city, Addis Ababa, lies several kilometres west of the East African Rift that splits the country into the African and Somali tectonic plates.
Anatomically modern humans emerged from modern-day Ethiopia and set out to the Near East and elsewhere in the Middle Paleolithic period. The lowland area of present Ethiopia proposed as the nucleus of Afroasiatic language family and pastoral society dispersed from pre-Neolithic population in Fertile Crescent. In 980 BC, the Kingdom of D'mt extended its realm over Eritrea and the northern region of Ethiopia, while the Kingdom of Aksum maintained a unified civilization in the region for 900 years. Christianity embraced the kingdom in 330 and Islam was arrived by the first Hijra in 615. After the collapse of Aksum in 960, a variety of kingdoms, largely tribal confederations, existed in the land of Ethiopia. The Zagwe dynasty ruled the north-central parts until being overthrown by Yekuno Amlak in 1270, inaugurating the Ethiopian Empire and the Solomonic dynasty, claimed descent from the biblical Solomon and Queen of Sheba under their son Menelik I. By the 14th century, the empire grew in prestige through territorial expansion and fighting against adjacent territories; most notably, the Ethiopian–Adal War (1529–1543) contributed to fragmentation of the empire, which ultimately fell under a decentralization known as Zemene Mesafint in mid-18th century. Emperor Tewodros II ended Zemene Mesafint at the beginning of his reign in 1855, marking the reunification and modernization of Ethiopia.

Ethiopia was a particpant of the United Nations Environment Programme's Climate Neutral Network
Ethiopia was the first African country to join the Climate Neutral Network. While the nation is not a net contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, it has expressed its commitment to mitigating climate change.
Ethiopia is an active supporter of UNEP's Billion Tree Campaign, contributing more trees than any other nation - over one billion - towards the global target of planting seven billion trees by the crucial UN climate change conference in December 2009. Furthermore, through Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation, the Government is distributing 5.4 million compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) - commonly known as "energy savers" - country-wide to help consumers save money on electricity bills and reduce their carbon footprint. June 5
Environmental issues[edit | edit source]
As in many neighboring countries, most environmental issues in Ethiopia relate to deforestation and endangered species.
Ethiopia had a 2018 Forest Landscape Integrity Index mean score of 7.16/10, ranking it 50th globally out of 172 countries.
Deforestation in Ethiopia is due to locals clearing forests for their personal needs, such as for fuel, hunting, agriculture, and sometimes religious reasons. The main causes of deforestation in Ethiopia are shifting agriculture, livestock production and fuel in drier areas.
Development challenges[edit | edit source]
In the 1970s and 1980s, Ethiopia experienced civil war and communist purges which hindered its economy but it has since recovered and, as of 2010, has the largest economy by GDP in East Africa. However, it remains one of the world's poorest countries, facing poverty, hunger, corruption, weak infrastructure, poor respect for human rights, and limited access to health and education, with a literacy rate of only 49%, ranking it in the worst quartile on the Human Development Index. W
Rural and urban life[edit | edit source]
Migration to urban areas is usually motivated by the hope of better lives. In peasant associations daily life is a struggle to survive. About 16% of the population in Ethiopia lives on less than one dollar per day (2008). Only 65% of rural households in Ethiopia consume the World Health Organization's (WHO's) minimum standard of food per day (2,200 kilocalories), with 42% of children under 5 years old being underweight.
Most poor families (75%) share their sleeping quarters with livestock, and 40% of children sleep on the floor, where nighttime temperatures average 5 degrees Celsius in the cold season. The average family size is six or seven, living in a 30 square metre mud and thatch hut, with less than two hectares of land to cultivate.
The peasant associations face a cycle of poverty. Since the landholdings are so small, farmers cannot allow the land to lie fallow, which reduces soil fertility. This land degradation reduces the production of fodder for livestock, which causes low milk yields. Since the community burns livestock manure as fuel, rather than plowing the nutrients back into the land, the crop production is reduced. The low productivity of agriculture leads to inadequate incomes for farmers, hunger, malnutrition and disease. These unhealthy farmers have difficulty working the land and the productivity drops further.
Although conditions are drastically better in cities, all of Ethiopia suffers from poverty and poor sanitation. However, poverty in Ethiopia fell from 44% to 29.6% during 2000–2011, according to the World Bank. In the capital city of Addis Ababa, 55% of the population used to live in slums. Now, however, a construction boom in both the private and the public sector has led to a dramatic improvement in living standards in major cities, particularly in Addis Ababa. Notably, government-built condominium housing complexes have sprung up throughout the city, benefiting close to 600,000 individuals. Sanitation is the most pressing need in the city, with most of the population lacking access to waste treatment facilities. This contributes to the spread of illness through unhealthy water.
Despite the living conditions in the cities, the people of Addis Ababa are much better off than people living in the peasant associations owing to their educational opportunities. Unlike rural children, 69% of urban children are enrolled in primary school, and 35% of those are eligible to attend secondary school. Addis Ababa has its own university as well as many other secondary schools. The literacy rate is 82%.
Many NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) are working to solve this problem; however, most are far apart, uncoordinated, and working in isolation. The Sub-Saharan Africa NGO Consortium is attempting to coordinate efforts.

Searing, demanding and infused with empathy, “The Warmth of Other Suns: Stories of Global Displacement” is an exhibition that should not be missed before it leaves Washington on Sept. 22.
The show at the Phillips Collection is strikingly ambitious, covering three floors of gallery space, sweeping across time and place as it explores the refugee and immigrant experience. Organized jointly by the Phillips Collection and the New Museum in New York, “The Warmth of Other Suns” takes its name from a line by author Richard Wright that is also the title of Isabel Wilkerson’s essential book on the Great Migration, which refers to the movement of 6 million African Americans from rural southern U.S. to other parts of the country in the first half of the 20th century.
In paintings, videos, photographs, neon art, graphic novel pages, found objects and documentary stills ripped from YouTube, the 75 international artists included in the exhibition grapple with an array of mediums and personal stories. Artists from the U.S. — along with countries such as Bangladesh, Belgium, Brazil, Egypt, Ghana, Iraq, Mexico, Syria, Turkey, Vietnam and others — reflect on migration both from a historical perspective and through the prism of today’s global refugee crisis.
The show’s discordant nature — each floor is a vivid, jarring mix of styles, materials, artists and time periods — is an incredibly effective choice for an exhibition on displacement.
“That’s also very intentional. We wanted it to have this feeling, partly because that’s the kind of saturation we live with, with the media around us when we deal with a subject that is so current and so in the news. We’re bombarded with images about migration a lot of the time, and we wanted the exhibition to have a similar kind of intensity and feel to it,” co-curator Natalie Bell, associate curator at the New Museum, told The Washington Diplomat.
It’s near impossible not to feel that intensity after leaving the extraordinary video installation by British artist John Akomfrah, “Vertigo Sea,” on the first floor. A meditative, enigmatic three-screen experience that fuses spectacular images, archival material and fiction to explore the transatlantic slave trade, the whaling industry and the current refugee crisis, the piece is a disorienting, beautiful start to the show. Time fades in and out, dissolving over 48 minutes and sending viewers back into the exhibition both deeply receptive and unsettled.
“I wanted to achieve the feeling that once you entered the exhibition, you are somehow transported elsewhere. If you wanted to stay there five hours, six hours, then it becomes almost a world unto itself,” said co-curator Massimiliano Gioni, the artistic director at the New Museum. “Not that that experience in any way resembles the experience that some of the works talk about, but I do want a viewer to feel elsewhere.”
Iconic, familiar D.C. holdings — the Phillips Collection’s “Migration Series” by Jacob Lawrence and the Rothko Room, as well as the National Gallery of Art’s “The Artist and His Mother” by Arshile Gorky — are placed into a new, profound context, exploring the nature of displacement as essential to the American experience. The mix of historical and contemporary art, and the way they enter into conversation with each other within the Phillips’s walls, is a hallmark of this exhibition.
Gioni, who also organized a 2017 exhibition in Milan focused on migration in the Mediterranean Sea region that evolved into this Phillips Collection show, said “The Warmth of Other Suns” offers a reading of modern and contemporary art as “a phenomenon created by migrants, in a sense.”
“The history of contemporary art was founded on a utopian art of a community of peers who could find themselves beyond the borders of nations, speaking a common language. There was not a language of words, but a language of images, a language of sounds, a language that was universal and as such could reach beyond borders,” he said.
“Nowadays, it can seem romantic, it can seem idealistic, maybe naïve, but I think in a moment in which nationalism returns with a force that we are witnessing, this idea of exchange and dialogue across nations through a common language is maybe the base of not only diplomacy, but of coexistence and the base to imagine a different future,” Gioni added.
Much of the contemporary work throughout the show offers a commentary on the role of the media. The press, largely, doesn’t appear in the rosiest light, with a pretty broad indictment of how the media represents — and exploits — the refugee and migrant experience. It’s most notable, and fascinating, in British artist Phil Collins’s “how to make a refugee,” a short video on Kosovo War refugees and the journalists who are there to edit the scene to fit their purposes. A child’s wounds are all that matter, and his re-traumatization as he reveals his scars means little in the face of getting the perfect shot.
This show is at its best when it makes the political deeply personal, showing the way policy transforms lives on individual and mass scales. This is especially relevant given the anti-immigration climate on both sides of the Atlantic and the fact that 65 million people are currently displaced around the world. But the exhibition makes a clear effort to put the narrative focus on the people caught up by the decisions of those in power who are normally placed at the center of the story.
The ideas of personal testimony and witnessing, and the question of how images and objects work in service of memory and memorialization, are key cornerstones to the show’s thematic approach, Bell said.
“One thing that we really wanted to insist on is that yes, people may read politics into the show — I think it would be impossible not to at this moment in time — but our goal was really to make it a humanitarian show, not a political show,” Bell explained. “Maybe to some people it would sound political to say such a thing. But it’s really about telling human stories and about artists being able to tell their own stories, in many ways.”
That approach is embodied on the top floor, where viewers encounter the quietly shattering installation of second-hand clothing by French artist Kader Attia. “La Mer Morte (The Dead Sea)” features clothing — sweatshirts, pants, shoes — scattered over the gallery’s floor in cascading layers of blue. The feeling of absence, of the people who may have once worn those clothes, is a profound reminder of the personal hardships behind the headlines.

The Philippine Red Cross Negros Occidental-Bacolod City Chapter will start accepting patients for COVID-19 saliva testing on Feb. 5.
The national government has already approved saliva testing as alternative in order to test coronavirus infection.
The test will be administered by the PRC Negros Occidental Molecular Laboratory.
Chapter administrator Rita Benita Mirasol said that saliva testing is an alternative to the real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test but the cost is only P2,000.
It is cheaper than the swab sample testing using RT-PCR which ranges from P3,800 to P5,000.
She said the cost of saliva test is expected to go lower if more people will avail of it.
The procedure is less invasive to get a sample for testing compared to a naso- pharyngeal swab way of testing, Mirasol explained.
Individuals will only have to spit inside a sterilized 1-milliliter vial that is sealed and documented for results.
They should not eat, drink, gargle, smoke, or vape 30 minutes before the test.
Red Cross Bacolod can also do home service for saliva test but with additional charges.
Unlike the RT-PCR test which has a turn-around time of 24 hours, processing time of the saliva test only takes three to four hours, Mirasol said.
Like the naso-pharyngeal swab test, saliva test also undergo the RT-PCR technique, which is the gold standard for COVID-19 testing.
But based on studies the saliva test is 98.11 percent accurate, she added.
PRC advised patients who wish to undergo saliva testing to properly clean their mouths by brushing correctly and avoid taking alcoholic drinks before submitting to the test.
Mirasol said that PRC Negros Occidental-Bacolod City is waiting for additional equipment to be installed in their molecular laboratory along 10th-Lacson Sts. in Bacolod City while training of medical technologist is ongoing to beat the target date of Feb. 5. – MML

Researchers provide additional insight into deficits in the prefrontal cortex involved in drug addiction. The findings could offer new avenues of research for the treatment of addiction.
Researchers have successfully tested a new vaccine in primates to battle cocaine addiction. Using neuroimaging techniques, they demonstrated the vaccine prevents cocaine from reaching the brain and producing a dopamine induced high. Human trials could begin within the next year.
A new study shows that the GLT1 protein plays a critical role in the craving for cocaine which develops after only a few days of cocaine use. However, exposure to ceftriaxone, an antibiotic used to treat meningitis, decreases cocaine cravings.
A new study provides evidence that the central amygdala, an area of the brain associated with emotion, plays a major role in sustaining cocaine addiction.
Researchers discover the role protein mGluR5 plays in cocaine addiction. The finding could help point a way to new treatments for addiction.
Topiramate, a drug used to treat migraine headaches and epilepsy, could also help treat cocaine addiction, a new study reports.
Manipulating the activity of Activin receptors could decrease relapse behaviors in cocaine addiction, a new study suggests.
According to a new study, women who abuse stimulant drugs have significantly less gray matter volume in brain areas vital for decision making and emotion.
Researchers report time spent in a stimulating learning environment can help buffer the brain against the effects of drug dependence.
A new study reports repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation appears to reduce cocaine use and cravings in those addicted to the drug.

Multiple shifts in the world of supply chain, transportation, and logistics pose challenges to the leaders of supply chain in the private and public sectors. By utilizing the latest technological solutions together with other physical and digital assets to redesign logistics practices, supply chains can adjust better to the fast-paced, highly competitive, omnichannel business environment. The increasing outsourcing practices, offshoring, product versatility, supply chain security, and substantial interdependence throughout the supply chain further accentuate the importance of dealing with risks, resiliency, sustainability in the supply chain. Modern logistics practices focus on the circular supply chain concept, involving previously used products as raw materials. This “reverse logistics” can improve sustainability and resiliency when managed well and the potential to be a cash and resource-consuming quagmire when managed poorly.
How well are global supply chains able to withstand disruptive events?
Digitization of the supply chain featured prominently in the ongoing automation of Industry 4.0 improves the speed, dynamics, and resiliency of the supply chain operations, leading to an improved ability to respond to customer demands and ultimately higher delivered value. By embracing digitalization, organizations can drive up resiliency and sustainability efforts and reduce operating costs of the supply chain.
- Understand how organizational responses to global disruptive events have introduced new methodology and approaches to anticipate and react to future interruptions in the global supply chain.
- Study how organizations create a supply chain that can provide goods and services while maintaining and improving sustainability goals and objectives.
- Appreciate how to design supply chains that can cope with the policy environment's fluid nature and how policy changes offer new constraints and new opportunities.
- Learn how new potential global alliances and trade agreements can provide increased opportunities for supply chain resiliency and mitigating risks.
- Study how the integrated, automated, and digital "Smart Factory" of Industry 4.0 can help organizations respond and recover from global changes more effectively.
- Know how increased cybersecurity breaches the global supply chain and the increased digital interconnectedness has led to increased risk of cyber threats and outcomes.

Contra Costa Is Offering Vaccines No Matter Where You Live
Come one, come all.
Contra Costa County is flush with COVID-19 vaccines, so much so that its public health clinics are now offering them to anyone 16 and older, regardless of where they live or work.
What previously had been reserved for county residents and workers is now up for grabs for people from other parts of the Bay Area, the state, or really anywhere in the world, health officials announced Monday.
“I think it’s important to realize that we’re not safe until everybody’s safe, and the virus doesn’t respect borders,” said Dr. Chris Farnitano, the countyâs health officer. “And so, if there’s virus raging in surrounding counties, that’s going to put our residents at risk.”
The move comes at a turning point in the county’s vaccine rollout, when “supply finally outstripped demand in the last few weeks,” Farnitano said. At its peak, in mid-April, the county was administering about 14,000 doses a day, and it’s now down to fewer than 12,000, he said, resulting in a growing number of unfilled appointments at county vaccine sites.
“We’re actually starting to ask for fewer doses from the feds and the state … to adjust for that decreased demand, but make sure we’re still being good stewards of all these vaccine doses, and not letting open vials go unused,” he said.
More than 650,000 people â 70% of those ages 16 and over â have been at least partially vaccinated, and over 50% have been fully vaccinated, according to county health data.
Reaching the remaining population, Farnitano noted, will be a big challenge.
More rural areas in the far eastern stretches of the county â including places like Bethel Island and Oakley â have among the lowest vaccination rates, he said. Rates have also lagged among residents in their 20s, he added, a cohort that is typically harder to convince to seek medical care. And, he said, lower vaccination rates among the county’s Latino and Black populations remain, although the gap between those groups and the overall population seems to be narrowing.
“Really, it’s moving from kind of a wholesale approach to a retail approach,” Farnitano said. “And really working with trusted partners, working to address different barriers and different concerns.”

In its concluding observations on Serbia, the UN Committee on discrimination against women notes certain progress, but remains concerned about gender stereotypes and gender-based violence
20 March 2019
- The UN Women in Serbia and the UN Human Rights Team in Serbia, together with civil society organizations, presented the concluding observations and recommendations of the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women.
Belgrade, 20 March 2019 – The UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women in Serbia (UN Women) and the UN Human Rights Team in Serbia, together with civil society organizations, presented the concluding observations and recommendations of the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women.
The observations and recommendations to Serbia were released on 8 March and concern the fourth periodic report on the implementation of the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, to which Serbia has voluntarily committed itself as a UN member state.
“As a party to the Convention, Serbia has undertaken to ensure that women enjoy all human rights and freedoms fully and equally. The Committee’s recommendations highlight certain progress and also offer guidance for all of us on joint action to prevent violations of these rights and freedoms in specific areas”, observed Milana Rikanović, Head of UN Women in Serbia.
In its concluding observations, the Committee welcomes the progress made, especially the legal reforms undertaken and the ratification of the Istanbul Convention, and also makes important recommendations to Serbia on advancing gender equality and reducing gender-based violence.
“We hope that the Committee’s findings and recommendations to Serbia will provide guidelines both to the Government and to the civil society on what the priorities are and how all stakeholders in society can contribute to overall improvement. The Committee has been very specific in its commendations and recommendations and we hope they will have an impact on further national and local efforts”, stated Milan Marković, Head of the UN Human Rights Team in Serbia.
Among other things, the Committee urges the state to take all necessary measures to combat the anti-gender discourse and to intensify efforts to raise women’s awareness about their rights under the Convention. According to the Committee, the state is required to enable access to free legal aid for victims of all forms of gender-based discrimination and to strengthen cross-sectoral cooperation in order to prevent and combat gender-based violence.
In addition, it underlines that all cases of trafficking in persons must be effectively investigated, equal representation of women accelerated in all areas of public and political life, immediate birth registration and access to identity documents ensured for all children, and gender-sensitive content introduced into curricula and textbooks.
The event was jointly organized by the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women), United Nations Human Rights Team in Serbia, Platform of Organizations for Cooperation with UN Human Rights Mechanisms and Women's Platform for the Development of Serbia.
"Current reforms in our society are present but only formal, without essential implementation of laws, policies and effects on women's position and gender relations. Implementation mechanisms are not effective, because the accompanying regulations defining these mechanisms are missing or brought long after the adoption of laws," says Biljana Stepanov, director of the Center for Women Support and members of the Women's Platform for Development of Serbia.

Owner/Client: California Air Resources Board
The Cap-and-Trade Program and Compliance Offset Regulation is the strategic heart of California’s efforts to reduce GHG emissions through implementation of AB 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. The Cap-and-Trade Program established the framework for
- setting GHG emissions limits for the covered entities
- allocating allowances for emitting GHGs within the limits
- trading allowances for covered entities that need to acquire them to comply with their limit or who may sell them if their emissions are below the regulated limit
The Compliance Offset Program established consistent protocols for calculating and managing GHG credits from four carbon offset programs: Forests, Urban Forests, Livestock Manure Digesters, and Ozone Depleting Substances. Ascent assisted the California Air Resources Board (ARB) with the preparation of a functional equivalent document (FED) under ARB’s CEQA certified regulatory program. The FED was prepared as an equivalent to an EIR. It addressed the environmental impacts resulting from reasonably foreseeable compliance approaches by covered entities and offset projects intended to provide GHG credits pursuant to the regulation. The FED examined the potential environmental impacts related to changes in criteria pollutant emissions, construction of facility enhancements, or combustion fuel shifts. The FED also included a detailed evaluation of potential for the Forests Offset Protocol to result in adverse effects, such as reduced wildlife habitat quality, to forest resources within and outside California.

In this paper, the problem of detecting and recognizing North Atlantic right whale (NARW), Eubalaena glacialis, contact calls in the presence of ambient noise is considered. A proposed solution is based on a multistage, hypothesis-testing technique that involves the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) detector, spectrogram testing, and feature vector testing algorithms. The main contributions of this paper are the inclusion of noise kernels for signals likely to produce false alarms and a second stage classification algorithm which extracts parameters from candidate contact calls and constructs a scaled squared error statistic for parameters which lie outside the range of expected calls. Closed-form representations of the algorithms are derived and realizable detection schemes are developed. Test results show that the proposed technique is able to detect approximately 80% of the contact calls detected by the human operator with about 26 false alarms per 24 h of observation. Testing data set included 44 227 right whale contact calls detected by eight human operators who performed visual and aural inspection of the data spectrogram. Data were collected in different periods from March 2001 to February 2007, in Cape Cod Bay, Great South Channel, and in the coastal waters of Georgia.

Keep my son close to you. Correspondence for a child in hiding, 1940-1944 - Alain-André Bernstein
Born of Jewish parents in March 1940, Alain-André Bernstein was hidden with a Catholic family in the Loire Valley, just ten days after his birth. Thanks to the correspondence kept by his mother and rediscovered when she died, he was able to reconstitute the story of his earliest childhood.
The letters of his foster family express the love and all the attention given to the child just awakening to life, in a world where he was risking death by the mere fact of being born a Jew. You can read there the humanity and compassion of the Breton family who saw in the Bernsteins only a family unjustly hunted down to whom help had to be given.
Charlotte and Léon Breton have been recognized as "Righteous among the Nations" in 2004, thanks to the efforts of Alain-André who in return expresses to them with this book all the love that had been given him in all simplicity.

Junot Díaz’s first work for young children is a response to his goddaughters, who wanted a book with characters like them, Dominican girls living in the Bronx. Listening to his narration is like having a story read to you by a beloved family friend. As Lola asks her neighbors and family about their former life in the Dominican Republic, they share memories of lively music, swooping “blanket-sized” bats, and the hurricane their family survived, with sound effects to help listeners imagine the details. For kids who are “from somewhere else” and for those who welcome them, this audiobook will inspire empathy for immigrants as well as imagination for distant lands.

THE LOST TECHNOLOGIES OF
The Romans left us countless engineering marvels, however, it is one seemingly humble little glass cup that holds the greatest secret of all lost Roman technologies. The Lycurgus Cup is a Roman glass cup that can change color with different lighting conditions: green under natural light and red when light source is put inside. Why does this bizarre optical phenomenon stand testimony to the stunning magic of ancient Roman nano-alchemy 1,700 years ahead of its time but completely lost in history?
SILK IN ANCIENT GREECE AND ROME
Silk is perhaps one of the most valuable luxurious commodity in the Classical World. In ancient Greece and Rome, silk was insanely expensive, exotic, and rare. Almost all of Rome's silk was imported, creating a huge trade imbalance that worried Roman scholars and government. This leaves us an impression that ancient Greece and Rome did not produce their own silk, some even claim that the ancient Mediterranean people did not know where silk came from. But is this a historical fact?
