Today is the birthday of Saira Banu, the Beauty Queen of Bollywood during the sixties. While conveying my hearty birthday wishes to her, I present this review on this occasion.
In my review of P.G. Wodehouse’s novel – The Small Bachelor, I had written that that novel must have inspired a number of Bollywood movies. The first such movie which strikes the mind while referring to that novel in which the Love Guru of the hero himself falls for the charms of a damsel after following celibacy for a sizable chunk of his life, is Shagird (1967) starring Joy Mukherji, Saira Banu and I.S. Johar in lead roles.Shagird (disciple) tells the story of Professor Brij Mohan Agnihotri(I.S. Johar) and his disciple (i.e., Shagird) Ramesh (Joy Mukherji). Professor Agnihotri has practiced bachelorhood say celibacy throughout his youth, staying away from the females and taught the same to Ramesh.
Ramesh’s parents are quite unhappy due to his practicing bachelorhood under the influence of the Professor but he keeps on following his mentor or Guru with complete devotion. However one day, the Professor comes into contact with the daughter of his friend who leaves her in his custody while going abroad. This beautiful girl is Poonam (Saira Banu) who is a naive girl.
The professor forgets all his principles and philosophy favoring celibacy the moment he sees Poonam and despite the age-difference between himself and herself, becomes desirous to get her into his life. However his efforts to woo the girl prove of no avail.
On the other hand, Poonam and Ramesh meet each other and fall in love. Ramesh comes to know that his mentor Professor Agnihotri has fallen in love with a girl but he does not know that that girl is none else but his own sweetheart Poonam only.
Now the professor asks Ramesh to help him in his love story and give him some tips as to how to woo the girl. So, now the roles are reversed. The mentor has become the disciple and the disciple has become the mentor. But Ramesh is taken aback the day he comes to know that the girl Professor Agnihotri is after, is his sweetheart Poonam.
Now the scenario is like this that the disciple and the mentor are finding themselves as rivals for the love of Poonam who has become the bone of contention between them. The story takes a final turn when the Professor realizes his mistake and clears the path for Ramesh to unite with Poonam.
However there are some villains in the story to create hurdles in the path of their union. Ramesh finds himself into trouble due to the activities of the villains. Then his mentor, i.e., Professor Agnihotri comes to his rescue and sets everything right.Shagird was the first movie of its kind which creates a lot of laughs for the viewers and entertains them very much. That’s why it was a commercial hit when released. The near perfect inter-mingling of comic and romantic situations enables it to be called a quality rom-com in which comedy supersedes romance.
Later on, many movies were made on the same lines. Shreemaan Aashique (1993) was a remake of this movie and movies like Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman (1992), Partner (2007) and Life Partner (2009) have also been made by drawing inspiration from this classic comedy.Direcor Sameer Ganguly has presented the script of Subodh Mukherji (a renowned director in his own right) on the screen pretty well and the movie keeps on entertaining the audience relentlessly right from the word ‘go.’
The final few reels are formulaic perhaps because the filmmaker needed a twist and certain routine events to create some drama before taking the story to its desired conclusion. Still there remains no reason to complain after watching the movie.
Technically the movie is quite good. This is a color movie and the beautiful locations shown on the screen are eye-candy for the spectators. The movie is more than two and a half hours long but considering the high entertainment quotient, the length is nowhere felt.Joy Mukherji and Saira Banu have complimented very well on the screen. Saira Banu has played the role of a naive girl and her naivety is most appealing in the song – Dil Vil Pyar Vyar Main Kya Jaanu Re. However the highlight of this movie is not the on-screen chemistry of Joy and Saira but the on-screen chemistry of I.S. Johar, the mentor and Joy Mukherji, the disciple or the Shagird. Both have done exceedingly well and left no stone unturned in making the audience laugh out loud.
The song Bade Miyaan Deewane Aise Na Bano, Hasina Kya Chaahe Humse Suno is a laugh-riot when watched on the screen with brilliant performances from these two characters who are the pillars of the story. Other cast members are well in place.
Laxmikant Pyarelaal have composed very good music for the movie. Many songs were damn popular in that time (even today) and became chartbusters when this movie was released. Other than Dil Vil Pyar Vyar (by Lata) and Bade Miyaan Deewane (Rafi), Woh Hain Zara Khafa Khafa (Lata), Ud Ke Pawan Ke Sang Chalungi (Lata) and Duniya Paagal Hai Ya Phir Main Deewana (Rafi) are also quite good. Devotional song sung by Lata – Kaanha Aan Padi Main Tere Dwar is also impressive. The beautiful and meaningful lyrics of the songs have been penned by Majrooh Sultaanpuri.
Summing up, Shagird is a complete value for money movie. Nice timepass. Non-stop entertainment for 157 minutes. The director deserves full marks because making such an impressive comedy is no easy job. I unconditionally recommend Shagird to all the entertainment-seekers.

Entrances are usually instantaneous. You step up and you step in. But not the Siq. The Siq is the main entrance to the ancient city of Petra, and it is a corridor in the rock, a mile long and in some places not 10 feet wide. Geologically, it is a tectonic fault. This mile-long stroll is an exquisite deferred gratification, especially when you’re excited about visiting Petra.
Enjoy the walk – the golds, reds and browns of the canyon rock, the shallow ledges that hold sacred stones, the plants that eke out life from the stone, and simply watching other visitors.
If you are lazy or you just fancy a ride, you can hire a horse-drawn carriage for a handsome sum in Jordanian terms. Or you can negotiate a horse ride on one of their beasts with flaring nostrils. You’ll get to The Treasury quicker (and bumpier), but your journey won’t be nearly as rich. I reckon, better to do the carriage in the evening, when you’ve finished your long day at Petra.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965)
Thomas Stearns Eliot was an American-born, British, poet, essayist, playwright, critic, now regarded as one of the twentieth century’s major poets. He received more rewards than almost any other writer of the past two centuries, including the Nobel prize, the Dante Gold Medal, the Goethe Prize, the US Medal of Freedom, and the British Order of Merit.
Eliot is best known for his great modern 20th century poem, The Waste Land. Other poems that distinguish his work are Ash Wednesday, The Lovesong of J Alfred Prufrock, The Four Quartets, and the ever-popular (particularly among children) Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats. His plays – verse dramas – Murder in the Cathedral and The Cocktail Party – are among the landmarks of 20th century drama.
The Waste Land (1922) is widely regarded as a central text of modernism and has frequently been described as the most important poem of the 20th century. Although its experimentalism is demanding, making it difficult to understand without hard work, it has fundamentally changed the ways in which poetry is written and read. It is crucial to an understanding of modern culture and a continual challenge to readers to re-evaluate how they think about the world. The poem resonates on every continent. In South America, Jorge Luis Borges wrote a significant essay on ‘The Eternal TS Eliot’, while the Mexican poet and critic Pedro Serrano likes to align Eliot with one of his most important Mexican readers, the great poet Octavio Paz.
The Waste Land is famous for its obscure nature—its constant movement between satire and prophecy; its abrupt changes of speaker, location, and time. This structural complexity is one of the reasons that the poem has become the model for modern literature, together with a novel published in the same year, James Joyce’s Ulysses.
Eliot was a spokesman for the 20th century. His poetry expresses the fragile psychological state of human beings in the 20th century. It was a time of traumatic transition: from the Victorian ideals to the modern era via the First World War. Eliot strived to capture the transformed world – fractured and alienated. The aftershocks of the war directly contributed to the dissolution of the British Empire. Eliot saw society as paralysed and wounded, and he believed that culture was crumbling and dissolving. The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (1917) demonstrates this sense of indecisive paralysis as the narrator wonders whether he dare eat a peach or change something. Human beings’ damaged state prevented people from communicating with each other, an idea that Eliot explored in many works.
Eliot’s influence goes way beyond England and English poetry. His poems, particularly The Waste Land, Ash Wednesday, The Four Quartets, and The Hollow Men powerfully influenced the poetry of two of the most significant post-war Irish poets, Martin O’Direain and Sean O’Riordain. Eliot influenced, among many others, Ezra Pound, Virginia Woolf, William Gaddis, Hart Crane, Ted Hughes, Seamus Heaney, James Joyce, Geoffrey Hill.

When it comes to creating content online, what is your main focus? Is it to provide value to your audience, increase traffic and sales, or to help grow your brand and bring awareness to whatever it is you specialize in? No matter which of these it might be, the content on your site is important and it shouldn’t be a rushed or half-effort project.
The best content on the internet today is much longer in words, more detailed, and full of original images, citations, and references to other sites. In short, if you are still focusing your efforts on writing daily articles that are just 500-words long, you are doing it wrong.
This is especially true when it comes to SEO and trying to compete against some of the top sites on the internet today. With over a billion active sites now pushing content out there, it’s not only harder than ever to compete, it’s also more of a pre-planning and marketing strategy game as well.
Find the Right Keywords Before You Start Writing
If you’ve ever wanted to set yourself up for failure and waste a bunch of time in the process, simply start writing content and publishing it on your site, then figure out how to promote and monetize it later on. This is something many site owners and bloggers are still doing today, and it’s killing their potential for success.
You must pre-plan your strategy:
- the main goal of your content
- your target audience
- type of monetization
- target keywords for SEO
This can easily be accomplished by first using a tool like Ubersuggest to do through keyword research. Not only is this tool free to use, it also pulls data right from Google Keyword planner (without the need to login) and shows how many times a word or phrase is searched for on a monthly basis.
A few quick wins right off the bat are that an article focused around the topic of “how to make money online as a college student” is a clear winner, as it’s very specific and has low competition… but at the same time, the CPC is quite high
A few quick wins right off the bat are that an article focused around the topic of “how to make money online as a college student” is a clear winner, as it’s very specific and has low competition… but at the same time, the CPC is quite high.
The data is all laid out for it, it’s just a matter of searching through various keywords and search phrases until you find one that makes sense for your site and audience. Then you should also use variations of the chosen keyword or topic to create sub-headers and category sections within that same article as well.
The best thing about Ubersuggest? It’s free!
Always Use a Plagiarism Checker When Outsourcing
When it comes to creating content online, you have plenty of options to choose from. If you are short on money and have a talent for writing, you can simply create content on your own. However, if you have some funds to spend and don’t have the time or talents to write on your own, then outsourcing your content is definitely the next best option.
However, just because you are outsourcing the content, don’t think you still won’t need to find a focus keyword and break down the content structure for your freelance writers. If you want your content written in the highest quality possible, this is something you should provide for them in advance.
At the same time, whenever outsourcing any type of content work, it’s important to always check text for appropriation. The last thing you want is to pay for content and have it published on your site and then find out it was simply copied from another site. Not only will this waste your money, it could also get your site in a lot of trouble in the process.
So here are three simple rules to remember when outsourcing your content:
- Find a reliable writer that also understands how SEO works
- Have a solid focus on your content and make sure it’s at least 1,200+ words
- Always run a spelling, grammar and plagiarism check for your articles
Follow these three simple steps before outsourcing your content, and you will be much more likely to find success in the search results, SEO, and also providing your audience with value.
SEO Reverse Engineering
There are plenty of tools out there for tracking keywords, search movements and your competition, but if you aren’t using them smartly, you are missing out big time. Two of the most well-known tools in this space are SEMRush and Ahrefs, but they aren’t the only players in town — plus they will also cost you upwards of $60+ per month as well.
SEMRush is great because they give you sample data with a free account. Ahrefs will give you a few days free trial with a credit card submit. Some of this data will be enough to get you started, but there is another great resource out there as well — and it’s Flippa.com.
Flippa, the online marketplace for buying and selling sites, is flooded with thousands of active site listings. Some sell for $1, while others sell for $100,000+. Within each of these listings is a gold mine of data that can be used to reverse engineer the SEO and business model for each of these sites.
Now, I’m not saying to copy the sites or their content and business model, I’m instead recommending that you reference and study not only how these sites make money, but also how and where they rank as well. By better understanding your competition, it will help improve your own results as well.
How to Implement these Methods into Your Own Blog and Online Business
To rank at the top of the search results and beat out the competition, you don’t just need ‘better content’, you also need better backlinks, SEO analysis, keyword targeting and more. With more than a billion active sites pushing new content into the search engines, it’s now harder than ever. These are the steps you need to follow.
If you are still struggling with any of these concepts or would like visual walkthrough videos on how to improve your own results with affiliate marketing and blogging, be sure to check out my new online course with 80+ videos and more than 6 hours of content. Use coupon code “JOHNCHOW” to save 85% off.
Whether you are attempting to make money online, start a new blog or simply improve the traffic to your existing sites — you MUST focus on creating better content and the promotion of that content, versus simply pushing out new content and hoping for better results.

Advertising agencies normally work with a variety of artists, authors, accounting professionals, marketing experts, developers, and other staff members to aid develop the advertisements that will be operated on television, radio, online, as well as in print. The imaginative division, which might consist of several divisions, focuses on the production of the advertisements themselves. Relying on the size and also nature of the firm, each department might have lots of workers.

Different advertisements would possibly be more effective at reaching a particular team than an additional. If the advertising agency currently has numerous ads that are targeting a certain age group, they might utilize different words or phrases in each ad to make them seem extra interesting potential clients.

The managers of the Scheldt estuary implement numerous measures to improve the ecological status of the system. These interventions are varied: examples include alternative bank protection, dike relocations and depoldering. Often, the work is done within the framework of the Scheldt Long Term Vision – concretised in the updated Sigma Plan. Small-scale estuarine restoration projects provide a good learning experience for the design and management of the planned larger-scale projects in the Sea Scheldt. In this project, previously implemented (small) estuarine restoration measures are being closely monitored, and an attempt is being made to identify key factors in estuarine restoration processes. The manager wishes to perform effective interventions with optimum returns. The knowledge needed to describe these returns needs to be researched and described.

chargers are typically included with the purchase of an EV. It plugs into a standard 120 (v) AC outlet with a power output of 1.3kW to 2.4 k.W. This power outlet is equivalent to 3-4 KM of EV range per hour in ideal situations. This is the slowest charging rate outlet available. A 10 hour over night charge will add 30KM to 40KM of distance. A full charger for an empty EV battery can take over 24 hours using a level 1 charger.
Level 2 Charger: A Level 2 charger will operate between 208Volt -240 Volt. It is either hard wired or plugged in. There are a variety of different scenarios depending on your circuit breaker, and whether you use a plug or wall box. As each wall box from each car manufacture varies on power output this is just an approximate calculation and will vary based on your wall box. The Power output has been reduced to take into account impedance (the opposition to electrical flow) and length of wire.
- 20 amp circuit breaker plug: Power output is on average 3.5kW
- 20 amp circuit breaker wall charger: Power output is on average 4kW
- 40 amp circuit breaker plug: Power output is on average 7kW.
- 40 amp circuit breaker wall charger: Power output is 8kW
- 50 amp circuit breaker plug: Power output is on average 9kW
- 50 amp circuit breaker wall charger: Power output is 10kW
- 60 amp circuit breaker wall box (can only be on a wall charger): Power output is 11.5kW
Some wall connectors like the tesla are directly wired, some wall connectors like Hyundai can be directly wired or plugged into a Nema 14 (stove plug) or Nema 6 (similar to stove plug but different connection points) receptacle
If you are using a wall chargers box you may not need a Nema Plug, it can be hardwired directly into the wall charger.
A Level 2 charger will operate between 208Volt -240 Volt. This requires a Nema
You cannot rate a stove plug at a stove value. It cannot use stove wiring as it is not de-rated like a stove is. De-rated means that the amperage value expected on the wire is less then the maximum allowed amount.
Level 3 Charger: Is 347 volts – 900 volts and uses Direct Current (DC), this is only practical for commercial use. You will find these at dealerships or dc fast charging stations. This is NOT a residential application. A Level 3 charger is typically not possible because the amount of utility work and installation required for a residential location could cost upwards to a million dollars.

Massa Dental Center
Dr. James Massa works at the forefront of sleep apnea. A fellowship-trained dentist, advanced in TMJ, cosmetic dentistry and pneumopedics, he deploys the latest technology of VIVOS Therapeutics. VIVOS dental appliances are used at night and partially during the day, harnessing the power of the body’s circadian rhythm. They’re designed to mimic nature by encouraging the body to repair itself slowly. This gradual process won’t trigger inflammation. Over the course of one to two years, the VIVOS dental appliances stimulate sinus formation and grow the airway. This means they don’t simply treat sleep apnea – they potentially eliminate it.
This technology has been researched and developed over the last 20 years and is approved by the FDA as a dental appliance treatment for a medical sleep problem. Now, the VIVOS therapy will begin coming into wider use for sufferers of sleep apnea.
“It’s exciting to be at the forefront of this technology,” Dr. Massa says. “The biggest joy for me is seeing people change their lives for the better. Many of my patients are pain-free for the first time in years. That’s because bodies that are able to fully rest benefit from the restorative hormones that sleep apnea patients lack.”
As a longtime sleep apnea sufferer, Dr. Massa brings a personal enthusiasm to his work. This treatment is his passion, and his entire team understands the life-changing benefits of the VIVOS therapy. “It’s a wonderful thing to be part of this intervention and treatment,” he concludes.

IF WE TEACH TODAY AS WE TAUGHT YESTERDAY, WE ROB OUR CHILDREN OF TOMORROW.
Technology has affected us in every aspect. Over the last few
decades, everything has changed in our lives with the all
pervasive intervention of technology. Digital classrooms are
the classrooms enhanced with technological equipment for
the purpose of better learning and teaching.
The use of smart technology in the class makes the
classroom a fun room. A student’s better engagement with
the content on a smart board is dynamic and visually more
appealing. It makes learning a fun process, especially for
kids of primary classes.

A lorry driver has been left 'sore' after mistakenly using a bathroom cleaning product as a personal hygiene wipe. He is now calling on supermarket chain Tesco to change its packaging to avoid others making the same mistake.
Leon Gleed, 29, realised his blunder after he was left with what he describes as "burning pain". He'd been using the toilet cleaning wipes as loo roll for days.
Leon's girlfriend Sadie Williams, 29, picked up Tesco's Active Flushable Toilet Wipes from a Tesco Express store in Risca, South Wales. After place them near to the toilet in the bathroom Leon mistook them for toilet paper wipes. It was only when he developed soreness and a rash around his rear end that he suddenly realised he'd been using anti bacterial toilet cleaner wipes.
He says: "I thought the product was wet wipes you use to go to the toilet with - but as it turned out, that wasn't the case". Confessing his error to Sadie after he checked the packaging of the wipes, he said she burst out laughing. However, it was no laughing matter for Leon who says: "I had to use Sudocrem down there for a week".
He added: "I've come through the worst of it now... Being a lorry driver it was hard to get in and out of the truck for a while because of the constant chafing and burning pain. The only way I can describe it is like the night after a hot curry but ten times worse!" reported Hull Daily Mail.
Leon, who is from Cwmbran, South Wales, added: "I know it was a silly mistake to make but I'm convinced there's other people out there who have done the same!" He says the labelling on the cleaning product should have been clearer.
"When I developed the soreness I knew something wasn't quite right and when I checked the packaging it said 'kills 99 percent of bacteria'. Sadie said to me 'how can you be so stupid', but I think cleaning products should have warning labels on them so they're more identifiable".
A spokesperson for Tesco, said: "We were sorry to hear about this. We make the labelling on our packaging as clear as possible for customers. Our toilet roll and related products are also in a separate aisle in the Risca Extra from these cleaning wipes.”

Two U.S. Senators have introduced a bill that would analyze the changes in highway use for the first time in almost a quarter of a century.
The Highway Cost Allocation Study Act of 2021 was introduced by Senators Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ).
The Federal Highway Administration has previously conducted similar highway cost allocation studies to evaluate highway-related costs attributable to different vehicles and the extent to which user fees paid by different vehicles cover their highway cost responsibility. The last study was conducted in 1997.
The information collected from the proposed 2021 study would inform decisions to address the Highway Trust Fund’s revenue shortfalls during its next reauthorization cycle.
“Today we have over 50 million more vehicles on the road than we did in 1997,” said Senator Lummis. “It’s critical that we understand how this significant increase is impacting our highway system so we can build a stronger, safer and more efficient system, with a plan to fund it, for the future. This is a bipartisan issue and I’m proud to be working with Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona to look at how our highway system’s use has changed in the last 24 years and how we can make it better for the next 24 years.”
“As an engineer and astronaut, my career has taught me about the importance of having the data to tackle a complex issue,” Senator Kelly said. “I’m working with Senator Lummis to get the facts about our highways to make sure we continue making the investments needed to grow our economy in Arizona and across the U.S.”

We need a world of peace and justice now more than ever.
“War cannot be humanized. It can only be abolished.” – Albert Einstein
“There never was a good war or a bad peace.” – Benjamin Franklin
What We Do: We unite our strengths and resources to advance peacebuilding and justice.
Our Goal: The goal of FPJA is to bring Florida Peace and Justice organizations together for a stronger voice and more effective activism.
We Believe: Militarism, imperialism, racism, poverty (materialism, economic inequality) and environmental degradation (climate crisis) are interconnected and need to be addressed through nonviolent means.
THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGING
During this time of global pandemic, when the U.N. Secretary General calls for a global ceasefire and when the United States struggles with its history of racism, a statewide alliance of Florida-based peace and justice groups has formed. We are the Florida Peace & Justice Alliance, a group of organizations and allies committed to advocacy, activism, and action.
Our areas of focus include: promoting peace and alternatives to war; disarmament; banning nuclear weapons; nonviolence and peace training; opposing sanctions; examining the costs of war; banning the military draft; ending military alliances; dismantling the military industrial complex.
The Florida Peace & Justice Alliance:
- Advocates for peace, an end to war, and nonviolent, non-militaristic ways of resolving conflict
- Mobilizes organizations and individuals when action and resistance are needed
- Promotes events—live and online—so organizations get the word out to their memberships
- Lobbies Florida local, statewide, and national legislators and elected officials and advocates for peace and reduced militarism
- Advances peace and alternatives to war intergenerationally
WE CALL FOR A NEW SOCIETY
We are reaching out to social justice groups, activist organizations, churches, organizations, and individuals to create a Florida Peace & Justice Alliance and to link with existing peace and justice advocacy groups. Way too often, the U.S. and the world use war and militarism as the way to settle conflict. As Dr. King taught, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hatred cannot drive our hatred; only love can do that.” Dr. King clearly showed the interconnectedness of the evils of racism, poverty, and war.
We need to re-think our priorities, come together, demand change from policy makers in Washington, and advocate for peace and nonviolent conflict resolution locally. The culture of war and violence is pervasive in our society. We need to change to a culture of peace and nonviolence. By coming together, we will have a more powerful voice to make positive change. We can teach peace, live peace, and work together.
FOR EVERY PROBLEM THERE IS A SOLUTION
The Florida Peace & Justice Alliance recognizes the interconnectedness of many issues related to peace such as:
- climate change
- environmental destruction
- gun violence
- police brutality
- immigrant rights and reform
- capitalism and corporate power
- trade and globalization justice
- social inequality and poverty
- inadequate housing
- healthcare for all
- criminal justice reform
- voters’ rights
All are intertwined with our culture of militarism, violence, and imperialism. All of these diminish the value of human life.

The importance of physical activity during quarantine
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in huge routine adjustments in day-to-day living. Many of us are confined to our homes, decreasing our social interactions and exercise. Although this is a challenging time for us all, it is important to take control and implement a routine that evades the negative impact quarantine may have on our physical and mental health.
It is important to not let the restraints of lockdown restrain you physically. No mattered the square footage of your house, there is room for exercise. The World Health Organization (WHO) suggest that it is imperative people of all ages remain as physical as possible during this time. Just by doing up to 5 minutes of light physical activity, such as stretching or walking, you will be improving your blood circulation and easing your muscles. Quarantine has allowed for us to be sitting down more than we usually do so just by taking a break from that, you are benefitting both your body and mind.
Keeping up with a daily routine of exercise can be a means for you to stay in contact with family and friends. This could involve walking outside together, allowing for no distractions and appreciation for the time together, or by organising workouts together via video chat and socialising as a result. These activities improve our overall feelings, consequently reducing the risks of cognitive decline or depression.
Although it is recommended that physical activity for adults over 18 years old should be at least 150 minutes worth a week, it does not mean that is what you should have accomplished in this time. It is vital to remember that we are living through a once in a lifetime pandemic and it is important to focus on surviving, not thriving. Implementing a daily habit of even just light exercise can benefit you significantly, whether it’s the mental focus on a routine or the physical movements offsetting the hindrances of lockdown.

I recently instituted a new rule in my life called the one-day mad rule. That means that I allow myself only one day to be upset. I have that whole day to work through whatever issues I’m having. Once I wake up the next day, it’s old news. I can no longer be upset about what happened yesterday. I have to exercise, hike, or anything to get my mind off what’s bothering me. The main objective is not to carry that anger with me through the next day. I’m telling you since I forced myself to adapt to this rule it’s been a complete game-changer. I had to get used to the idea, so it was a huge struggle at first. I’ve been following this for a month, and it increased my mood drastically. I’m in a much happier place, and most importantly I stopped getting on my nerves. Yes, that’s an authentic thing!
When you learn how to manage your emotions, it makes you a more pleasant person. People want to be around you more, and you overall give out positive vibes/energy. Plus, life is too short so what’s the point of holding onto all that negative energy? If you’re upset with someone forgive them and let it go. Forgiveness doesn’t mean you have to allow that person to stay in your life. It just means you won’t let that person remain rent-free in your head. When you’re holding all that toxic energy, you’re the one impacted. Whoever hurt you most likely doesn’t know nor care. There’s no point in wasting precious time on things that aren’t aiding your mental health. The one-day mad rule will take getting used to, but the benefits are worthwhile.
Start small and commit yourself to make a change. Once you decide that you will make this change, it becomes easier. Also, when I see myself getting frustrated, that’s when I take a break. I go for a walk, listen to music, etc. Anything to get my mind off the anger. Putting yourself in a different mindset helps you to make decisions from a logical standpoint instead of emotions. That will keep you from having to apologize often due to hurt feelings. That’s the difference between adults and children. Adults learn when to speak, apply their emotions, and when to keep quiet. If you haven’t mastered this art it takes time and practice to perfect it. However, I committed to change my behavior. I’m going to fall short, but I’m going to keep at it until it becomes second nature. My one-day mad rule is here to stay!
What are some ways that you learned how to handle and manage your emotions?

The Private University Act passed by the Parliament in 1992 and its amendment passed in 1998 empowered the Government and the University Grants Commission (UGC) for the establishment of Private Universities throughout the country. We established the Bangladesh Islami University (BIU), a private university with the proper approval from the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh. Since its inception in 2006, the university has been working excellently and presently, it has become a modern, dynamic and innovative institution providing standard and high quality knowledge in every branch of education. The present campus of the University is located at Plot# B-51, Avenue# 3, Green Model Town, Manda, Mugda, Dhaka-1214.
The University authority firmly aims at disseminating holistic and modern education through integrated learning and state-of-the-art training method. The authority strives to produce modern citizens and professionals equipped with self-confidence, versatility of skills and with ethical standards to meet the challenges of the contemporary legal and corporate world and to sow the seeds of economic, spiritual and cultural growth.
The mission of BIU is to impart knowledge for interweaving the two streams of education of our country-religious and modern, in the light of Islam.

Graphene’s latest trick? Electricity is everywhere, all at once. That’s according to a new piece of research that looked at how currents flow through the wonder material.
After measuring flow through narrow constrictions in sheets of graphene, theoretical physicist Florian Libisch and his colleagues now think that “quantum effects” determine the flow of power, rather than space.
That’s not to say incredibly narrow tunnels of graphene can let currents through at the same rate as far wider examples, however, the increase in flow doesn’t grow gradually as the size widens.
“It jumps at certain points,” said Libisch, whose work was published today. “This is a clear indication of quantum effects. The electron is not confined to one particular carbon atom, in some sense, it is located everywhere at the same time.”
Calling the electric current “quantised”, Libisch’s work shows that increased energy into electrons decreases wavelengths, making them fit through constrictions.
Ups and downs
“At some point, one wavelength fits through the constriction, then two wavelengths, then three – this way the electron flux increases in characteristic steps.”
Graphene has become theoretical physics’ poster child, with researchers keen to learn how this ultra-thin, superconducting material reacts when combined with the likes of boron nitride, which was used in this experiment.
“One thing is for sure: whoever wants to understand tomorrow’s electronics has to know a lot about quantum physics,” said Libisch.
Earlier this week, scientists developed a new type of graphene-based transistor, which has ‘ultra-low power consumption’, enabling processor clock speeds to increase dramatically.
Dmitry Svintsov, author of a study published in Scientific Reports, claims that the application of a tiny voltage to the gate of the transistor sees “a huge number” of electrons in this tightly-packed hat rim tunnel concurrently.
This causes a sharp change in current from the application of a small voltage, and this low voltage is the reason for the record low power consumption.

NHibernate provides an innovative new approach to handling data with "visibility" rules. A NHibernate filter is a global, named, parameterized filter that may be enabled or disabled for a particular NHibernate session.
NHibernate adds the ability to pre-define filter criteria and attach those filters at both a class and a collection level. A filter criteria is the ability to define a restriction clause very similar to the existing "where" attribute available on the class and various collection elements. Except these filter conditions can be parameterized. The application can then make the decision at runtime whether given filters should be enabled and what their parameter values should be. Filters can be used like database views, but parameterized inside the application.
In order to use filters, they must first be defined and then attached to the appropriate mapping elements. To define a filter, use the <filter-def/> element within a <hibernate-mapping/> element:
<filter-def name="myFilter"> <filter-param name="myFilterParam" type="String"/> </filter-def>
Then, this filter can be attached to a class:
<class name="MyClass" ...> ... <filter name="myFilter" condition=":myFilterParam = MY_FILTERED_COLUMN"/> </class>
or, to a collection:
<set ...> <filter name="myFilter" condition=":myFilterParam = MY_FILTERED_COLUMN"/> </set>
or, even to both (or multiples of each) at the same time.
The methods on ISession are: EnableFilter(string filterName), GetEnabledFilter(string filterName), and DisableFilter(string filterName). By default, filters are not enabled for a given session; they must be explicitly enabled through use of the ISession.EnableFilter() method, which returns an instance of the IFilter interface. Using the simple filter defined above, this would look like:
Note that methods on the NHibernate.IFilter interface do allow the method-chaining common to much of NHibernate.
A full example, using temporal data with an effective record date pattern:
<class name="Employee" ...> ... <many-to-one name="Department" column="dept_id" class="Department"/> <property name="EffectiveStartDate" type="date" column="eff_start_dt"/> <property name="EffectiveEndDate" type="date" column="eff_end_dt"/> ... <!-- Note that this assumes non-terminal records have an eff_end_dt set to a max db date for simplicity-sake --> <filter name="effectiveDate" condition=":asOfDate BETWEEN eff_start_dt and eff_end_dt"/> </class> <class name="Department" ...> ... <set name="Employees" lazy="true"> <key column="dept_id"/> <one-to-many class="Employee"/> <filter name="effectiveDate" condition=":asOfDate BETWEEN eff_start_dt and eff_end_dt"/> </set> </class> <filter-def name="effectiveDate"> <filter-param name="asOfDate" type="date"/> </filter-def>
Then, in order to ensure that you always get back currently effective records, simply enable the filter on the session prior to retrieving employee data:
ISession session = ...; session.EnableFilter("effectiveDate").SetParameter("asOfDate", DateTime.Today); var results = session.CreateQuery("from Employee as e where e.Salary > :targetSalary") .SetInt64("targetSalary", 1000000L) .List<Employee>();
In the HQL above, even though we only explicitly mentioned a salary constraint on the results, because of the enabled filter the query will return only currently active employees who have a salary greater than a million dollars.
Note: if you plan on using filters with outer joining (either through HQL or load fetching) be careful of the direction of the condition expression. It's safest to set this up for left outer joining; in general, place the parameter first followed by the column name(s) after the operator.
Default all filter definitions are applied to <many-to-one/> and <one-to-one/> elements. You can turn off this behaviour by using use-many-to-one attribute on <filter-def/> element.
<filter-def name="effectiveDate" use-many-to-one="false"/>

Viking pants had baggy thighs to keep the legs unrestricted, but closer to the calves, the fabric could get in the way of the feet. For this reason, they had legwraps to hold the fabric tightly against their skin. The Viking Winingas replicate such garments with stunning accuracy. These wool blend legwraps are easy to layer as they circle up the lower leg, stopping just shy of the knee. Because they are made of a woolen material, they also keep the calves warm in wintry weather. Of course, as the self-sticking materials found in modern athletic wraps did not exist in medieval times, these winingas require a pin or brooch to hold them in place, which grants you the freedom to customize your outfit. The Viking Winingas come in black, red, green, blue, brown, yellow, grey, autumn green, or orange, which means that there is a legwrap to match any and all medieval or Viking ensembles.
The Viking Winingas are hand-dyed, therefore colors may vary from those shown.
- Based on Viking legwraps
- Wrap up the calves to prevent loose fabric from impeding movement
- Allow for customization with brooches and pins
- Come in black, red, green, blue, brown, yellow, grey, autumn green, or orange
- Perfect for Renaissance fairs and other medieval reenactments
- Made of 74% wool, 15% polyester, 7% polyamides, and 4% miscellaneous natural fibers
- Length: 149.6 Inches
- Width: 3.94 Inches

Three childhood friends graduate to running a drug-selling ring but then a new girlfriend sets sparks flying…
Information for Adults: This book has a dyslexia-friendly layout, typeface and paperstock so that even more readers can enjoy it. It has been edited to a reading age of 8.
Winner of the Coventry Inspiration Book Award, “Fancy a Quickie” category
What Nigel says:
Partners In Crime started when I was listening to a very old folk song which tells of betrayal and murder. I was particularly struck by a line – “So slowly, slowly he stood up”. I could see the person reluctantly standing up knowing that he was about to be killed. This line set my mind racing – I had the end of my story and now I had to go back and find the beginning. I came up with the idea of three boys who meet in primary school and who grow up in a tough world of drugs and crime. I imaged their rivalries, their loves, their betrayals and the slow path to murder.

When it comes to enjoying overall wellness, one of the simplest and most important things you can do for your body is to drink plenty of water every day. Water keeps us hydrated and allows our bodies to function as they should. By drinking enough water, it is often possible to prevent issues like headaches and fatigue, and to stay focused and energised as we go about our daily tasks. When it comes to maintaining our oral health, water plays a key role — read on to find out how water can benefit your teeth and keep your smile in good condition…
By drinking plenty of water throughout the day, it is often possible to prevent your mouth from drying out. Dry mouth is an issue that occurs when saliva production decreases for some reason — it can be caused by certain medical concerns, as well as some types of medication. When there is not enough saliva in the mouth, issues like gum disease and tooth decay are more likely to occur as the mouth cannot naturally clean away food debris, bacteria and plaque.
One of the best ways to wash away leftover food particles and bacteria from between the teeth and other hard-to-reach areas of the mouth is to drink water regularly throughout the day. It is a good idea to drink some water after every meal and snack as this can reduce the damaging effects of sugar and acids on the teeth. Water can also help to neutralise the pH of your saliva so that harmful bacteria cannot multiply and grow in your mouth.
Most sources of drinking water contain fluoride, which is a naturally-occurring mineral. The mineral helps to strengthen the enamel of the teeth and can even reduce one’s risk of tooth decay and cavities. In fact, fluoride can also reverse the early signs of tooth decay and rebuild weakened tooth enamel in a process known as remineralisation.
If you don’t drink as much water as you should and you would like to increase your daily intake, you might find it helpful to carry a water bottle around with you. This will serve as a constant reminder to stay hydrated and reduce the temptation of drinking another (less healthy) beverage when you are thirsty.
Try to drink water frequently during the day, rather than drinking a large amount all at once. Sipping on small amounts often is less likely to make you feel full and bloated, and will also ensure that your body is absorbing water throughout the day.
At Kitchener Street Dental, we understand that there is an important connection between your oral health and your overall sense of wellbeing. For this reason, we are available to address any questions about your lifestyle, nutrition and oral hygiene habits and how these factors could be impacting your smile. When you come in and see us, we encourage you to raise any concerns that you have — we will provide you with all the information that you need to enjoy optimal oral health.
In order to maintain your oral health, we offer a range of general dentistry services. We encourage all of our patients to attend regular dental appointments so that we can identify and treat any issues at an early stage. Ideally, you should come in and see us every six months for a routine maintenance visit, which includes a full examination, scale and clean and a fluoride application.
To find out more about out general dentistry services or what to expect from a routine visit, please have a look here.

The goiter mission in Goma project went well. Goma is located alongside Lake Kivu, at the foot of Mount Nyiragongo in eastern Congo.
Seventeen patients were operated in 5 days by teams from the Provincial North Kivu hospital, assisted by the team from 2nd Chance. Benjamin and Christopher managed the surgical aspects of the mission whilst Lionel handled the anesthetic support.
The Congolese surgeons made significant progress in surgical technique, particularly in the difficult treatment of giant goiters. During this mission, we operated patients with extremely impressive giant goiters.
Two days ago we got a feed back from the patients we operated, and they are all well!
We have at least two good reasons to return to Goma fairly quickly. Firstly, there are still 30 patients on the waiting list, waiting for an operation, and secondly, after a week of intensive surgery, we only saw the famous volcano during a few seconds! We should at least be able to contemplate it longer next time…

Closing on a home is cause for celebration, but it is premature to pop champagne before the paperwork is filed. Chief among the papers passed at closing is the deed, the document that specifies the property’s legal owner. It is usually the job of the escrow agent to file it, but this does not always happen. When it does not, the consequences can be severe.
No Ordinary Document
The deed provides proof of property ownership. Its requirements vary, depending on the state, but it generally lists the property’s boundaries, the former owner, and the new owner. It includes each party’s signature and language authorizing the transfer of ownership from one party to the other.
Of course, if the deed is not filed with the county, the homeowner does not legally own anything. He or she cannot sell the house, refinance, or secure an equity line. A buyer could also be forced to pay the seller’s debts if there were liens on the property. In the ultimate nightmare scenario, the new occupants could find their home sold out from under them.
Without a deed, there is no proof that ownership was ever transferred. In the eyes of the law, the former owner is still the rightful one.
Trust but Verify
In most cases, the escrow agent will responsibly file the deed at the appropriate county office. However, the agent could forget, or the clerk could misplace the deed. At the end of the day, it is up to the homebuyer to confirm that the deed was properly recorded.
The escrow agent can provide a copy of the recording page, which should show the date that the deed was recorded, along with its volume and page number in the county registry. It is also possible to view the record personally, either at the county office or online – if the latter is available.
How Blockchain Helps
Unfortunately, government records are not always available online. To confirm their deeds, most folks call their agents or make in-person trips to the registry.
Thanks to new tech, there is now a better way. Propy leverages blockchain technology to offer users a smoother, more transparent closing process that stores the deed on the chain itself in the Propy Blockchain Title Registry. Like any data stored on a blockchain, the deed is time-stamped, synchronized, and safe from alteration or theft by outsiders. For compliance with state law, the deed is also filed at the local government office.
Not only does Propy make it more convenient to confirm whether a deed was recorded, but it also future-proofs the deed. Local governments should have copies and digital backups, but accidents happen. Blockchain removes the human element and the element of surprise along with it.

Productivity doesn’t have to suffer in a hybrid work environment
Hybrid work has come to be known as the future of work as we look to how the workplace will function going forward. The balance of remote work and in-office opportunities that suit all employees needs and seamlessly integrating both will allow for optimal work conditions for all, allowing for schedules to be customized.
However, while the vision for hybrid work is one of optimized schedules and a flexible workplace, there are concerns surrounding productivity and adjustment to what is seen as the “future of work”.
3 Factors of Productivity
Productivity is not a feeling or wave that is conjured up from nothing and carries us to complete whatever is facing us. No, productivity doesn’t have to suffer in a hybrid environment. Influenced by internal and external factors alike that work together, these form the circumstances that make up the tasks and projects we are faced with every day both in and outside of the office.
We have all experienced walking into a room where it is not primed for work or trying to do work in somewhere that is full of distractions or does not fit the task we are trying to work on. This can be true for offices as well. Office environments have become mazes of cubes and desks that may not suit all personalities for work.
Some of us may require more isolated workspaces while others need a collaborative space to share ideas and plan projects. Tailoring the office to be an environment which lends itself to a range of tasks and projects as well as striking the optimal balance for all employees can be a challenge.
An increasingly important factor in the work environment is technology and the resources present. With remote workers needing to connect with those in the office, space must be outfitted effectively that enables both to seamlessly work together on projects. Tech-enabled offices are growing not just in popularity but necessity as a result of the adaptations we have made over the pandemic.
The tasks you have assigned to you play a larger role in your productivity than you may initially think, while adjusting your tasks and work style to the hybrid office environment can be uncomfortable.
For example, if your task is to draft blueprints for a project or job site and you need space to visualize or draft, if you are better outfitted to do this in your home office than in a populated office environment this task will be better suited to remote work that day. However, for the inverse if you are tasked with a group project that warrants collaboration, then a conference room in the office outfitted with the proper resources will likely be the best option for the task at hand.
While tasks are influenced by the environment, the task and what is required to do it are important to productivity. Tasks that require more focus and solitary work can incite more productivity if they are done in a fitting space with the right tools than if they are not.
We each possess our own personality and work styles, and while these cannot be adjusted like the office environment we are working in, we can use them as guidance for how we utilize the hybrid workplace and the opportunities that present themselves within it.
The way people innately react to the world around them or perceive it can influence an individuals productivity and output while in the office or working remotely. Structuring a workday or environment can be incredibly beneficial, once again supporting the notion that productivity doesn’t have to suffer in a hybrid environment.
In the office
For those who choose to return to the office, recreating your at-home work environment could be your best way to give yourself a leg up on the adjustment process. Going from a settled office routine to outfitting your home to optimizing this space, only to be thrust back into the office and restart the process can be a whirlwind. Recreating the space that you found works best for you will vastly improve your output and comfortability in the office environment.
Office spaces are being reimagined in the current corporate climate, with a focus on design and increased productivity while elevating the employee experience.
Choosing your office days
Curating your in-office schedule in order to match both your out of work life but your responsibilities at work as well. Selecting your in-office days on the basis of what fits your schedule but also the projects you have on hand can make hybrid working more streamlined. Need to collaborate with some colleagues? Booking a room at the office for a day or going in twice a week so the environment complements the task you are doing turns the office from a mandatory workspace into one that is available for use if you need it, much like a conference room.
Collaborating and connecting
The issue comes with bridging the gap between the office and at home with technology to outfit the workplace with sufficient resources to make collaboration and connection not only possible, but seamless. Productivity doesn’t have to suffer in a hybrid environment, and with split time between in-person collaboration in the office and time at home for independent projects, some may see an increase in their productivity. Those at the office should not be subject to spotty videoconferencing service or patchy wifi as it puts not just them but those at home at a disadvantage (and nobody likes slow internet).
Meanwhile those at home should be outfitted with or have access to the technology that allows for connection from the start. If there are any other services or software that they require outside of microsoft teams or zoom, let them know and have them provided with it as soon as possible.
And most importantly, check in with your remote staff to make sure they have all they need to do their job as well as if they were at the office themselves, communication and trust can build better relationships even over distance.
Choosing a location
Location for hybrid working can have an impact on the relationship with the office a worker has. If they are in the city and within commuting distance should an issue arise or they need to come in, does that effect their salary? Many companies have begun the conversation around how location should impact the salary of an employee or if it should at all.
This is going to be a mainstay in hybrid work conversations as the nuances of the system are ironed out across organizations everywhere, as some have already elected to slightly adjust salary based on location of the employee. This can lead to a division and should be handled carefully.
As we said earlier, proximity to management can be a factor that actually helps boost productivity as there are sightlines in a physical office. However, there are no sightlines when you are messaging and constant check-ins can be seen as a sign of distrust from one’s manager. Our suggestion? Open communication and foster a working relationship where if remote employees need resources or technology to better do their job they have easy access to what they need and trust in their employer that the work will be done.
Mere output is not an efficient indicator of productivity as there can be extenuating circumstances that can hinder output. Therefore, making sure the conditions for productivity are in place is a much better first step to evaluation.
The hybrid work system is evolving as organizations are figuring out how to optimize the workplace and balance remote and in-person work best for the benefit of their employees. The best way to ensure a successful and productive hybrid work system is to communicate and listen to employees needs and to incorporate them into the process of learning what works best. They are the ones who are going to be adapting to it as well and making sure all their needs are met and accounted for can go a long way in terms of productivity and employee satisfaction.

WOOSTER, Ohio – One of the best techniques a farmer can use to manage soybean cyst nematode is to rotate resistant soybean varieties, based on the preliminary findings of a Midwest soybean cyst nematode project.
"These preliminary findings are telling us that our recommendations to control soybean cyst nematode are spot-on, and the data continue to emphasize the importance of sampling SCN populations in the soil and manage the pest through effective use of resistant soybean varieties," said Anne Dorrance, an Ohio State University Extension plant pathologist with the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center.
Dorrance and her colleagues analyzed Ohio soybean fields for the North Central Soybean Research Program regional project. They just completed year two of the three-year project. The purpose of the project is to better understand SCN populations in Ohio and other regional states, as well as evaluate how soybean varieties with different sources of resistance respond to SCN populations.
Deemed the "silent robber of yields," SCN is the No. 2 soybean pest in Ohio, behind Phytophthora sojae, which causes Phytophthora root rot. Soybean cyst nematodes feed on the roots of young plants, which prevents the roots from taking up vital nutrients. The result is a drop in yields and subsequent economic losses.
"Growers manage SCN first with crop rotation, then by planting different sources of resistance, such as PI88788, Peking or Hartwig," said Dorrance. "Here in Ohio, growers most commonly plant varieties derived from the PI88788 source of SCN resistance. But what we found out in the study was that varieties from PI88788 don't always act the same."
Dorrance said that the unique combination of genes developed for various PI88788 resistant soybean varieties offers varying levels of control for SCN. For example, a variety with one set of resistance genes may give better control to SCN in one field, but not in another variety with a completely different set of resistant genes.
"That's why it's key to rotate varieties with SCN resistance – to keep the pest guessing," said Dorrance. "With weather conditions, field variations, plant performance, different gene packages and various SCN biotypes, a grower is not going to get 100 percent complete control out of one variety year after year after year."
Dorrance recommends that growers work with their seed companies to make sure that they don't plant the same resistant variety in the same field, giving the pest an opportunity to adapt.
In the 2009 study, researchers planted five soybean varieties in three locations (Sandusky, Putnam and Shelby counties). The varieties were replicated four times and planted in 200- to 250-foot strips and a soil sample was taken every 25 feet of each strip -- 10 samples total. The fields were sampled at planting and before the soybeans emerged, as well as right after harvest so that the changes in SCN populations could be monitored during the season.
In addition to the findings with resistant varieties, other key findings included:
• At the Sandusky location, uneven maturity keyed in on SCN presence. "As you looked across the susceptible strips – there were areas where plants were already mature and leaves defoliated and other areas where plants and pods were still green," said Dorrance. "Stunting and uneven maturity are two key symptoms of soybean cyst nematode."
• The distribution of SCN in the test plots was very uneven. "There were large pockets where there were no eggs detected and the next plot over contained 750 eggs per cup of soil," said Dorrance.
• When SCN populations were high -- greater than 500 eggs per cup of soil -- varieties with Peking performed well. "However, before this becomes a recommendation, we need to get the fall SCN counts and see if the SCN populations declined when Peking was planted," said Dorrance.
Dorrance said that this was the first time in about 12 years that Ohio researchers have analyzed soybean cyst nematode so closely, and while much work still needs to be done to better understand the pest, the study reveals one unsettling truth: that SCN is widespread across the state and it's not going away anytime soon.
For more information on SCN management, refer to the Ohio State University Extension fact sheet, "Soybean Cyst Nematode," at http://www.oardc.ohio-state.edu/ohiofieldcropdisease/soybeans/AC_39_08.pdf, or go to the Plant Health Initiative Web site at http://www.planthealth.info/scn_basics.htm.

This workshop helped project professionals create an open and honest culture within their projects removing the ‘culture of silence’ that so often causes project failure.
As the magnitude and complexity of projects increase in an ever changing world, we see projects becoming dependent on the project team's ability to influence and work together and with other stakeholders. Experience as well as research over the last 25 years has shown that projects can succeed or fail on a team's ability to have open, honest and respectful conversations with others about sensitive, emotional and controversial issues - such as project deadlines, project risks and the performance of other project team members.
The presentation introduced skills enabling delegates to start to 'de-risk' those crucial conversations. They enable you to talk openly and honestly to anyone about almost anything - how to stay in dialogue, resolve the problem, and at the same time build the relationship.
The session involved some interactive small group work and the use of short video clips to bring out some of the key messages. Participants:
- gained an understanding of the key underlying concepts around crucial conversations;
- understood why we often avoid speaking up about project issues;
- saw some project examples;
- took away key skills.
Richard is the Business Development Director at Grahame Robb Associates Ltd (GRA), a leading provider of staff and organisational development programmes for public and private sector clients across the globe and the sole UK Licensee for crucial conversations, crucial confrontations and influencer training.

Although we all heard about this one in school, the correct use of a and an can cause a lot of confusion. There is a very clear rule when to use a and when to use an. However, this rule seems to be often forgotten or remembered incorrectly.
a is used when the following word starts with a consonant sound.
Examples: a word, a sound, a mouse.
an is used when the following word begins with a vowel sound.
Examples: an end, an apple, an orange.
The important point here is that it is the sound, not the spelling, that decides between a and an. Hence, the following expressions are correct:
a university, a European, a useful hint, a one-time thing, an honest mistake.
My suspicion is that many advanced speakers incorrectly remember that the rule is about spelling rather than pronunciation, and hence use an for any word that starts with a vowel, and a for the rest. However, if you read the above examples out loud, you will quickly notice that the rule based on pronunciation makes much more sense.
Even if you remember the above rule, things get a bit tricky when you are not a native speaker, because the choice between a and an depends on pronunciation. In the above examples, we had the phrase “an honest mistake”. Similarly, you say “an heir” rather than “a heir”, because the letter h in these words is silent. However, there are other words starting with an h which require the article a because the h is not silent. For example, you say
a human, a humorous story, a humid climate
Words that start with an h are very tricky for French, Spanish and Italian native speakers, because in those languages the h is silent or even completely dropped in words that also exist in English. As an example, consider the word humid. It is pronounced as [ˈhjuːmɪd], and therefore we have to write “a humid climate” rather than “an humid climate”. However, the French word humide, and Spanish humedo, and the Italian umido either havea silent h or no h at all. Consequently, native speakers of those languages often find it hard to correctly use a and an in English.
Let me finish this post with two interesting issues:
The word herb is pronounced [hɜːb] in British English, but often as [ɜːrb] in American English. Hence, you would use “a herb” in British English, but “an herb” in American English.
If you use abbreviations, it is again the pronunciation of the abbreviation rather than the spelling, or the pronunciation of the word you are abbreviating, that decides between a and an.
an FM radio (but a frequency modulation radio),
an HTML document (but a hypertext …),
an LOL (but a laugh-out-loud),
an ATM card

Take care, stay safe and I will see you in person next year!
It is nearly Spring Break and the school year has been whizzing by! Our upper grade students have been busy this year. Right now, everyone is knee deep into research. Our 4th graders, newly returned from their Hawaiʻi Island huakaʻi, are finishing up their Hawaiian plant research project. Continuing where last year’s 4th graders left off, they are studying a variety of native and introduced plants to figure out what plants will grow well in our very own KES Hawaiian garden. Meanwhile. our 5th graders are immersed in everything Kapālama as they get ready for their 5th grade play. Here, the students focused on researching this very special place from ancient times to modern day. Finally, in the next building over, after numerous huaka’i to the Windward side of Oahu, our 6th graders are diving deep into their Aloha ‘Āina Projects as they look at the question of how they can address an important issue of their wahi.
In our era of fake news, here in the HMC, all students are working learning how to evaluate information sources to determine credibility, accuracy, bias and relevance. The current Coronavirus outbreak was the topic they were most interested in as they raced against each other to figure out fact from fiction and determine information authenticity. Along the way, they also learned some insider tricks to searching Google.
As we bring this month to a close, it is also Nene Award voting time! Yes, our students in grades 4-6 will be choosing their favorite books as they vote for the 2020 Nene Award. The Nene Award is the Hawaii state children’s book award. Open to students in grades 4-6 who have read at least one of the books on the recommended list, students vote online in early March. Votes are tabulated and submitted to the committee. The winner is announced in early May, usually during the annual Books and Music Festival. So, stay tuned to see if your favorite book has won!
We are now into our second month of school and boy is time flying!Here, in the HMC, our upper grade students have gone through their library orientation scavenger hunt, been learning how to be safe and effective digital citizens and getting excited about reading.
In December 2017, we introduced an online social networking site called Biblionasium to our 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students.This is a safe and restricted site that operates via our Destiny Online Catalog.It allows our KES students to log reading time, create reading goals, write book reviews and share recommendations with their classmates.Students can also participate in contests and earn badges for reading, which is something they totally love doing! Consider it the GoodReads for kids.
This year we have started using Biblionasium early!All of our 4th and 5th graders have been trained and are now using this resource weekly – logging, reading and recommending books. A new feature we are trying out this year is the reading challenges! Yes, being that most of our students are highly competitive by nature, they can now challenge each other to read a wider range and quantity of books! I, too, have joined in on the challenge.I created a challenging reading goal for myself:Read 200 books by the end of the school year and challenged the students, collectively as a class and individually, to beat me.Classes that do, will receive a special reward.Individual students who do will get their own special prize. So, now, the challenge is on and I am looking forward to getting my socks knocked off!
In addition to our regular classes, this year many of the specialist teachers in grades 4 and 6 are teaching elective courses as part of our La Noʻonoʻo rotational days.In the HMC, my 6th grade course is the KES Yearbook.Yes, this year our yearbook will be student created!Currently, 21 students are enrolled and learning all things Yearbook. They have started looking at previous yearbook editions and are interviewing students from across the different grade levels to get feedback on what they want their yearbook to look like.They have many new and creative ideas so get ready – a change is coming!
During the last few weeks of school, our fourth and fifth graders have been busy building and coding in our Media Center. We have been using some our La No’ono’o Days to have our students experiment with coding and building. We recently purchased large LEGO bricks and had the students use their imaginations and creativity by designing and building different types of mazes. Their classmates then took our KES Dot and Dash robots and coded them to race through the mazes. During both activities, the students had to put both their knowledge of science and math together and work to create mazes that their classmates could program in 20-30 minutes. Although it was a challenge, the days were boisterous and full of wonderful collaborations. Way to go fourth grade!
Our fifth graders also had a great opportunity to learn from a team of South Korean students who recently visited our middle school campus as part of a international student exchange. The South Korean students discussed and demonstrated how they used scale coding and artificial intelligence to program and control Altino cars. Our students then had a chance to jump in and try it for themselves. With some assistance from the visiting students, they were able to do some basic tricks. They were so excited and engaged that they were even willing to give up their recess! Great job fifth graders!
On the winter La Noʻonoʻo days, I am testing out a new game format with my 4th graders. It is based on the idea of the Breakout Room which has been around for a long time. The basic premise is students are given a group challenge in the form of a locked box. In order to open the box, students work in teams, use their critical thinking skills and apply their knowledge of the content area to complete a series of puzzles. When they solve a puzzle, they have to figure out how to use answer to the puzzle to open one of the locks on the box. The box contains a variety of locks and in order to open it, the students must open all of the locks.
Our first breakout game was entitled “Reindeer Games”. Students worked in teams of five to solve the five puzzles. While some of the puzzles were given out when the game started, others were strategically hidden around the room. The students had a blast and the first class to breakout was Room 18. Congratulations!
Fall Enrichment days arrived at KES in early October and here at the Hiʻilei Media Center, our 4th and 5th graders spent the time with us making new friends with books. Our library was transformed into a little bistro complete with red and white balloons, streamers, black tablecloths, rose filled vases and books – loads and loads of books. The tables were piled high with both traditional favorites as well as our new hotly requested titles – the latest installment of Harry Potter, Dork Diaries and Geronimo Stilton. A few weeks ago we received our order of new books and have been rushing to get them processed and into the hands of the students. Our Speed Dating Book Adventure was the perfect opportunty to do this.
After reviewing the criteria for selecting a great book, the music started and the students eagerly dived into the tables to make their choices. Using popular kids music as a timer, the students choose a book, read for 2-3 minutes then completed a quick evaluation of the book. At the end of the session, the students had gone through six rounds, examined lots of great books and wrote out a detailed recommendation for one of their books for other students to read. With nearly every student choosing to borrow a book, it was a great day for reading!
September 15 was International Dot Day! It is the day students, teachers and everyone who loves Peter Reynold’s book, The Dot, celebrate creativity, perseverance and courage. The book tells the story of Vashti, a young girl who is very frustrated because she doesn’t believe she can draw. But, with the encouragement of her teacher, she learns to make her mark, perseveres and becomes a great artist by simply using dots!
Here at the Hiiliei Media Center, our Dot Day adventure started bright and early with our morning classes and recess. Our students listened to the story on Tumblebooks, sang the Dot Day song written by Emily Arrow and then had a choice from two art activities. They could either create their own artistic mark using an augmented reality coloring page from Quivervision and watch it come alive using the free app on their iPads or they could decorate a Dot Day card with stickers, stamps and their own artistic style . Our older students designed their own 3D cards using the themes of I Mua, Lokomaikaʻi, Kulia and Hoʻomau.
As you can see, everyone involved had a blast – students and adults as well. By the end of the day, the students were teaching each other the Dot Day song and dance, could recite the story almost word for word and were proudly showing off their artistic creations. In fact, we all had so much fun we continued it well into September 16. After all, author Peter Reynolds always says, “Dot Day is on September 15ish”!
This summer, all students Grades 4-6 are encouraged to log their reading in a printed Summer Reading Log. To access the reading log, click on the reading log below, print off BOTH pages and log each book separately. All Summer Reading Logs should be turned in at the beginning of August 2015.

Pirelli Motorsport has named the three F1 compounds to be used during the Spanish GP and the Canadian GP.
The compounds for the first four races of the 2019 F1 season has already been released with the choices of the drivers and teams for Australian GP revealed as well, as only a week remains for the new season to kick-off in Melbourne.
With the rule of finalising and revealing the compounds eight weeks in advance for the European races, Pirelli has fixed upon the three hardest compounds for the Spanish GP at Circuit de Catalunya, as they will bring C1, C2 and C3.
The same combination will already be seen in the race in Bahrain. As for the Canadian GP, they have opted for the three softest compound with C3, C4 and C5 named – which for now will be the first time, the combination will be used in the 2019 F1 season.
The rule for flyaway races’ announcement is 14 weeks in advance. While the new name sounds confusing at this juncture – even to Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton – the races will see only three colours in use with white, yellow and red denoting hard, medium and soft.
The sub-names like C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5 is only for the die-hard or nerd fanatics along with the media, who fancy little details about the sport. The wet and intermediate compounds though stay the same in marking as blue and green respectively.
Pirelli compounds nomination chart:
Australia – C2, C3, C4
Bahrain – C1, C2, C3
China – C2, C3, C4
Azerbaijan – C2, C3, C4
Spain – C1, C2, C3
Canada – C3, C4, C5

Warehouses and wholesale
Packaging of goods
The control of the assembly material on workplace and its active involvement in the process is an essential element in the management of the warehouse-workplace material flow and the assembly itself. The UniBox Pick to Light system is a positional marking of the material with a light for the selection of the components of a given assembly operation, the replenishment of the material from the warehouse and the timely dispatch of the request for replenishment. The UniBox module not only displays numbers, but also graphical information in the form of information symbols. It allows to connect a material counter, a light tube and other devices.
UniBox system in warehouse
The organization of warehouse positions by means of light control connected to the WMS system allows to speed up the process of material retrieval during removal as well as to eliminate mistakes in case of material substitution. Positions can be linked to a position presence sensor or a 3D camera which allows a back check for the WMS system.
UniBox system in production
The Pick to Light system in production controls the signalling of material positions for assembly in individual steps. It guides the operator to the correct material and prevents errors due to material mix-ups. The ADMIN4.0 system combines with visual guidance to create an interactive assembly map for the operator. A numeric display shows the number of components to be picked and inspection mechanisms check the quantity of components picked.
UniBox system and extension
UniBox control mechanisms allow you to count the exact number of components on the station and check the correct number of components picked from the box. Other attachable devices such as hand presence sensor in the box, sound alarm, push buttons and more.
Operator hand check and handling
The ADMIN4.0 system checks the operator, his hand position and material handling with a 3D camera, all to completely eliminate operator errors. Whether the operator has taken the right tool from the work area or the right material for the assembly operation, everything is always under control.
Visual inspection of picked and packed material
ADMIN4.0 allows inspection of packaging when picking from stock and replenishing into production using a 3D camera. Checking the presence of pallets and packages at replenishment points all for an organized logistics of material flow without losses.

Australia's first female Muslim senator has lashed politicians for fanning the flames of division, a week after a "racist" speech targeted her religion in parliament.
Pakistan-born Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi on Tuesday made her first speech to federal parliament, following Katter's Australian Party's Fraser Anning controversial address last week.
Senator Anning called for a ban on Muslim migration and praised the White Australia policy in a widely condemned speech which united parliamentarians against his views.
Senator Faruqi said it was good politicians condemned the "blatant racism", but couldn't be allowed to use the public solidarity to cover their role in fanning racial division.
"Political leaders, in addition to their old habit of racist dog-whistling, are now comfortable outright fanning the flames of racial conflict," Senator Faruqi told parliament.
"You can't condemn racism and then use dog-whistling and race-baiting as an electoral tactic."
Senator Faruqi spoke of receiving thousands of racist and sexist messages, as well as death threats levelled at her son Osman.
She took aim at the people who want her to "F off back to where I came from" with an Urdu phrase.
"Sorry, not sorry. This is my home and I'm not going anywhere," Senator Faruqi translated it as meaning.
Media and politicians encourage and normalise racism, she said, pointing to neo-Nazi Blair Cottrell's appearance on Sky News and the treatment of Melbourne's Sudanese population.
Senator Faruqi, who spent five years in the NSW upper house from 2013, replaced factional rival Lee Rhiannon in federal parliament.
She spoke of her pride in becoming the 100th woman to sit in the Senate before listing a range of the Greens' core issues including climate change, animal welfare and indigenous rights.
"It is people, not parliaments, who will lead the way in sparking our political imagination and creating radical change," Senator Faruqi said.
"We can build a future for each and every one of us. No matter where we come from. No matter the colour of our skin, our religion, our gender or sexuality, our bank balance or our postcode."

Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council
|For Immediate Release||December 12 , 2007|
FFIEC RELEASES GUIDANCE ON PANDEMIC PLANNING
The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) issued guidance today for use by financial institutions in identifying the continuity planning that should be in place to minimize the potential adverse effects of a pandemic. This guidance expands upon the contents of the Interagency Advisory on Influenza Pandemic Preparedness issued in March 2006.
Pandemic planning presents unique challenges to financial institutions. Unlike most natural or technical disasters and malicious acts, the impact of a pandemic is much more difficult to determine because of the anticipated difference in scale and duration. As a result of these differences, no individual or organization is safe from the potential adverse effects of a pandemic event. Experts believe the most significant challenge may be the severe staffing shortages that will likely result from a pandemic outbreak.
The FFIEC agencies believe the potentially significant effects a pandemic could have on an institution justify establishing plans to address how each institution will manage a pandemic event.
Accordingly, an institution's business continuity plan should include:
The guidance is attached.
Institutions should direct questions to their primary federal regulator.
The FFIEC was established in March 1979 to prescribe uniform principles, standards, and report forms and to promote uniformity in the supervision of financial institutions. The Council has six voting members: the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union Administration, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the State Liaison Committee. The Council's activities are supported by interagency task forces and by an advisory State Liaison Committee, comprised of five representatives of state agencies that supervise financial institutions.

Orange County was founded in 1752, and was named after William of Orange (also King William III of England). Hillsborough was the center of North Carolina politics in the colonial era and hosted the state’s Constitutional Convention in 1778, where North Carolina delegates demanded that a Bill of Rights be added before they would ratify the U.S. Constitution.
It’s North Carolina’s ideal landscape. For business, for life, and everything in between. Orange County gives you rolling hills and lush green countryside – a rural, down-home feel that blends seamlessly with a cosmopolitan worldview. Here, you’ll find everything your business needs to thrive: a highly educated workforce, superior schools, a world-renowned university system, pioneering technology and research, unprecedented healthcare, and diversity across the board. Toss in our mild climate, and we’re not just the perfect mix – we’re your perfect business environment. In more ways than one.
The county is strategically positioned along the Eastern seaboard; with major metro areas like DC and New York just a quick flight or few hours’ drive away. Interstates I-40 and I-85 crisscross the region, facilitating quick and efficient travel in all directions. Nearby RDU International Airport, along with proximity to seaports, literally gives you the world of business just outside your door.
Orange County is governed by a seven-member board of commissioners. The commissioners are elected to four-year terms by district and at-large in partisan elections, which are held in November of even-numbered years.
Founded over 250 years ago and once the colonial capital of North Carolina, Hillsborough now serves as the county seat of Orange County. Located about 15 minutes northwest of Chapel Hill, the city boasts over one hundred late 18th and 19th century structures and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. During the Revolutionary War, Hillsborough was the political and cultural focal point of the area and it remains so today. Surrounded by rolling hills, the town’s 7,809 residents enjoy charming shops and restaurants and many activities celebrating the arts and history being held almost daily.
Mebane’s namesake is Brigadier General Alexander Mebane, a Revolutionary War officer and later, a United States Congressman. In the late 1700’s, Mebane joined the first board of trustees of the University of North Carolina. He also served on the committee that chose New Hope Chapel Hill as the site for the new school and, in 1793, helped lay cornerstone of the first building erected on campus. Today, the city of Mebane is at the center of one of the fastest growing areas in North Carolina, offering all of the conveniences of city life with all of the escape opportunities that city dwellers often seek; the mountains are just three hours to the west and the coast, just three hours to the east.
Situated at the intersection of two major transportation corridors – Interstate 85 and Interstate 40– Orange County’s location affords a variety of business land opportunities within three Economic Development Districts targeted for non-residential growth by the county. These Districts were created to offer streamlined development procedures in the prime location along the transportation corridor. Over 12 million individuals are located within 150 miles of Orange County.

Latinos in the Trump era: Angry but unmoved
What good are anger and discontent if something is not done about it? A study shows that Latinos remain static before a government that has stigmatized them…
MORE IN THIS SECTION
Faced with a government like that of Donald Trump, being Latino and being upset is not very difficult.
What does seem to be a challenge, though, is to mobilize the Hispanic population in the United States and convince them of a political proposal to support with their vote.
A study published on Tuesday found "significant challenges for Democrats" in convincing Latino voters that a Congress controlled by the Blue Party would bring important changes to their community.
The polling firm Latino Decisions led the research commissioned by the three most important Democratic political action groups: the House Majority PAC, Priorities USA and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Bold PAC, as Roll Call reported.
The data was collected in study groups of around 1,000 registered Latino voters, who made clear their deep disagreement with current policies, "particularly regarding the Trump administration’s hard-line immigration policies and health care rollback efforts.”
While Latinos support the Democrats by 67% - versus 22% in favor of Republicans - according to the study "only 44% of the respondents said they were 'certain' they will vote for Democrats, and only 53% said they were certain to vote in November at all."
The conclusion seems to be that the Democratic Party is still failing on the same key issues as during the 2016 elections when they didn’t know how to directly and clearly communicate their political agenda to the Latino community in the country.
"Democratic candidates should avoid 'generalities and buzzwords,'" Roll Call quotes from the study's findings. Instead, they should "take a clear stand on reversing Trump's immigration policies."
The study also recommends the reformulation of communication strategies such as the use of "radio and television stations in Spanish and bilingual advertisements that promote clear conclusions about what specifically will change when voting in 2018."
However, and for groups like the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), this strategy should have been the basis of the whole movement of the party from the beginning.
In an article prior to the results of the presidential elections in September 2016, Dolores Delgado Campbell and Duane Campbell explained that the issue of immigration is precisely what could redraw the political reality of the country, without disregarding other fundamental issues for the Hispanic community.
In short, a comprehensive and well-communicated campaign in direct contact with the population on the street is the only viable strategy to get Latino voters to join the Democratic campaigns in the country, and thus take back the reins of the nation.
And if there are any doubts about it, we just need to look out for campaigns like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York to understand that the grass-roots initiatives can be much stronger than money when it comes to politics.

Although not “born and raised” here, recent Stevens graduate Julia Guignard likely knows the streets of Hoboken much better than you do. And she wanted to share what she knows! “I love all these different buildings and I photograph them a lot,” Julia says. “I realized how cool it would be if I could create a tour, where I walk you through Hoboken.” She parlayed this passion for the city into her senior “capstone” design project, entitled Glimpse. The book and smartphone application combine Julia’s photography prowess with the 3D modeling and augmented reality skills she honed in the Stevens Institute’s Visual Arts & Technology Program.
Wait — augmented what?
Chris Manzione, an assistant professor in Visual Arts & Technology, explains that augmented reality, or AR, “mixes real-world information with digital information. When you watch football on TV, you see those lines that suddenly come up on the field — that’s technically augmented reality. It’s adding digital content to something live.”
Manzione points out that this contrasts with virtual reality (VR), which we laypeople might associate with video games and The Matrix. He says, “When you put a VR headset on, you’re totally encapsulated by the digital space. There is no mixing of the two.”
Julia’s Glimpse project is firmly in the AR camp. One component is a book of photographs of eight different buildings in Hoboken, with a street shot and an up-close photo for each. It’s with the up-close photos that things start to get high-tech: A reader looks at the photo through what seems like a normal camera app on a phone. The app then “recognizes” the photo and…
“When it registers the image, the 3D model of the building that I made will ‘pop up’ and ‘sit’ on the page,” says Julia. “You can move completely around it 360 degrees.”
Adding another multimedia layer to the proceedings is audio commentary for each building. For this feature, Julia recruited Bob Foster, director of the Hoboken Historical Museum. “I approached the museum, explained what I was doing, and asked if they’d be interested in contributing something to the book,” Julia recalls. “Bob hopped on board right away, and recorded all of that himself for me. It was beyond amazing.”
Foster says, “I was extremely impressed with Julia’s enthusiasm for Hoboken’s history and architecture. And I love how this project helps bring technology into the museum. A copy of Julia’s book will forever be in our archives.”
Perfecting the varied aspects of the project was challenging, time-consuming work for Julia. “I pretty much lived in this building for several months,” Julia says, referring to the Morton Building on the Stevens campus, home of the Visual Arts & Technology Program. For her photo shoots, she went out repeatedly in different weather and at different times of day, until she captured the exact image she wanted. Julia also had to consider who would be looking at her project and how they would interact with it: “How someone’s actually going to hold the book and turn the page — that was probably one of the toughest parts.”
Witnessing unsuspecting people check out Glimpse, however, has made all that work worthwhile. She says, “The payoff is seeing everyone’s faces light up when they realize there’s this surprise 3D model that pops up on the page.”
A GROWING PROGRAM
The Visual Arts & Technology Program falls under Stevens’ College of Arts and Letters, which was established in 2007. (A humanities department has existed at Stevens since 1928.)
Manzione has been with the program for two years. He teaches courses in video and motion graphics, 2D and 3D design, and augmented and virtual reality. (His classes and guidance were clearly very helpful for Julia’s project.) Manzione is one of three assistant professors in the program, along with Jeff Thompson, the director of Visual Arts & Technology, who is a specialist in design, creative computing, and data visualization, and Nicholas O’Brien, concentrating on game design.
Thompson has been with the program for three years, and O’Brien for one year. So through the 2015–16 year, there were students that pre-dated the current crop of Visual Arts & Technology professors… including Julia! “It’s grown so, so, so much in the last three years I was here. My freshman year, it was a completely different program than it is now,” she says. “After bringing in Jeff and Chris and Nick, it’s expanded, and there are so many things that I never would’ve imagined learning.”
Manzione explains the current faculty’s philosophy: “We’re building up the program. While each student has a focus — design, animation, game design, or video — we’re covering a larger base of knowledge, using it in an art-centered way, not a technology-centered way. Technology provides the tools that facilitate the ideas.”
The program’s varied content and student interests were well on display at the “Cross/Over” exhibit, held in town in April at the hob’art gallery. In addition to Julia’s Glimpse, the program’s two other graduating seniors displayed their projects. Frankie Guarini created Ghost Cities, a tabletop game with the goal of increasing players’ understanding of China’s recent urbanization. And in The Wedding, Virginia Keating complemented her double-major project for Literature by adapting the 15th-century tale “The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnelle” into a comic book.
A ROAD TO STEVENS
Thompson, O’Brien, and Manzione all come from Masters of Fine Arts backgrounds. Of course, their love of art goes much further back. “I was always making things that I could then think about: cups and food and rearranging things, taping things to string and hanging them in a weird way,” remembers Manzione. “And then seeing my mom or sisters look at it and have this reaction to these everyday objects that are now doing something else. I thought of it as kind of magical.”
In high school, he focused first on drawing, then ceramics, and was fortunate to be in one of the earlier schools to offer digital-imaging training. Manzione studied fine arts while attending New Jersey’s William Paterson University, and then completed a one-year post-baccalaureate program at the Maryland Institute College of Art. He pursued his graduate studies at Rutgers’ Mason Gross School of the Arts. “So, that was like, 9 straight years of art school,” Manzione says.
He went on to conduct workshops and lectures (“I always knew I wanted to teach,” he says), before landing adjunct professor positions at Philadelphia’s La Salle University and Rowan University in Glassboro. When Manzione noticed an opening at Stevens, he jumped at the opportunity. “I’m really happy to be here, this is a perfect fit for me,” he says. “The job description was describing me.”
Stevens has become increasingly appealing to prospective art students as well — with a twist. “Students who are applying here now seem to want to focus on an art program but not be at an art school,” Manzione explains. “They maybe also want to do a marketing or computer science or engineering major. The mixing of them is really fascinating; you can come out of here with some really strong skills.” (Julia, for example, was a double major in Visual Arts & Technology and Literature, with a minor in Marketing.)
The application process includes a letter of recommendation and a portfolio of up to 15 pieces. As of last year, the program no longer requires submission of an SAT score. “We fought for that because, while parts of [the SAT process] are important, it’s not really what we’re looking for,” says Manzione.
Julia Guignard’s path to Stevens began in rural upstate New York. “My county has more cows than people,” she says. Her art efforts in high school included drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, printmaking, and collaging. “I did an entire series of bird sculptures that were made out of Architectural Digest magazines, those were fun,” Julia recalls.
She was also a top-ranked student-athlete, and was recruited to play tennis at Stevens. Julia competed on the varsity team all four years.
Between her intense studies and sports, Julia acquired real-world experience. She interned at the HobokenGirl blog (among her tasks: photographing every storefront on every avenue), and has been a visual display intern (helping set up and photograph window displays) for Anthropologie on 5th Avenue in Manhattan. Photography and digital design may figure into her post-graduation work plans. “In the long run, I’ll be looking more into augmented reality, expanding on what I’ve just started with the Glimpse project,” Julia says.
Meanwhile, the Visual Arts & Technology Program continues to grow. Their studio is being completely renovated over the summer, and they hope to add facilities and equipment, such as creating a full woodshop. There will be 8 incoming freshman this year. Manzione states, “We’d like to get that to about 12, and eventually have a bigger program, where we’re taking in 20 to 25 students. And keep going.” The College of Arts and Letters also has a new dean, Dr. Kelland Thomas, who comes from a music background.
The increasing diversity of Stevens’ academic offerings, faculty, and student body makes it a more vibrant place than ever before, benefiting all involved. “I’ve collaborated with music techs, I’ve gotten advice from business students, and some of the engineers were telling me about programming for my app,” Julia explains. “That’s awesome to see.”

Top best answers to the question «One foot goes numb when i have tennis shoe on»
- Depending on how the shoelaces are tied, the nerve can get squeezed against the bone causing tingling feet, pins and needles or numb toes. To make it better, there are two simple things to try. The first is to glue a pad of soft rubber on the underside of the tongue of the shoe, which the podiatrist will happily do for you at an appointment.

By Mark Anderson
The world’s Muslims fall into two major camps, Sunni and Shia, sometimes likened to Christianity’s Catholics and Protestants. But the similarity is superficial. In terms of the world’s total Muslim population, Sunnis and Shias disagree over what percentage each group owns, with Sunnis accounting for 80-90% of the total and Shias 10-20%.
After Muhammad’s death in 632 CE, the struggle over who should succeed him made Islam’s next half-century very turbulent. In fact, three of Muhammad’s first four successors were assassinated. The Sunni-Shia division goes back to that early conflict.

#pb10for10: Picture Books for Professional Development/Coaching
As my almost 4 year old nephew would say, this is my "pavorite" day of the blogging year, hands down! I can't think of a better way to celebrate the power of picture books across grade levels and content areas. Now in it's SIXTH year, I'm always inspired by the variety of book lists that everyone creates. Today, and in the days to come because it will take that long to get to all the lists, we will see old "friends" in new ways, find new "friends", and inevitably create long hold lists at our libraries and pricey shopping carts at local bookstores and/or online outlets.
Since last year, I've moved out of the classroom and into the role of literacy coach. The shift from focusing on children as my learners to teachers as my learners hasn't diminished my firm belief that picture books move our understanding and thinking. Because of that, I've always included them as read alouds in professional development session for a variety of purposes. Today I'm sharing ten titles with ideas and themes that support discussions about the teaching practices and classroom environments we strive to create. If you've never used a picture book with teachers to get conversations started, I hope today's list will spark some ideas.
If You Hold a Seed by Elly MacKay captures the magic that happens when dream seeds are planted and tended. Each year we are entrusted with a new packet of seeds. This beautifully illustrated book reminds us that will patience, skill, and perseverance, extraordinary gifts can blossom within our classroom communities.
Courage isn't just found in the BIG things life throws our way. This book by Bernard Waber offers the opportunity to have teachers think about the things that take courage in their teaching practice. Staying true to what you know is best practice, listening to another point of view, writing with your students, trying a new instructional strategy. It's the small acts of courage that make the most impact!
Flight School by Lita Judge demonstrates the important reminder that success often comes out of perseverance and team work. Moving teachers from working in isolation to working as a team is important work and this is a beautiful picture of what team work can bring about.
The fact that one little bird's determination is responsible for saving a forest is one that shouldn't be lost on teachers. There is no problem too big when we are willing to face our fears, put aside misconceptions, and work to make a difference. Teachers do this every single day, in lots of small ways. The Little Hummingbird by Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas is an invitation for teachers to talk about the little ways they face challenges everyday.
I knew on page 2 of this book that I must own it and add it to the picture books I use with teachers this coming year. My Pen by Christopher Myers is perfect for launching writing work with teachers but it can also be used to remind teachers to look beyond the page to truly see their students as individuals, getting to know their interests, fears, and dreams.
Bringing this book out in the middle of the year offers the opportunity to remind teachers that learning something new...a new strategy, conferring, using a workshop model...takes time and practice. Walk On! A Guide for Babies of All Ages by Marla Frazee is a good reminder that missteps, bobbles, and failed attempts are all part of the learning! Embrace it!
Duck! Rabbit! by Amy Krouse Rosenthal is an important book to share with teachers when thinking about teaching & learning. As members of a learning community, we need to be open to a variety of perspectives, taking time to listen to views that are different from ours. We all bring experiences with us that impact our perspectives..and allowing time to share them might just help us all look at a situation or student differently.
We often start our school year with the big picture in mind. We know exactly the kind of learning environment we want to create. We just what we need to do to make it. And then we hit a roadblock. The plan doesn't go as we envisioned. The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spire reminds that sometimes it okay to step away, to refocus, and then try again.
Going Places by Paul Reynolds reminds teachers that it's okay to think outside of the box, embrace our creative side, and try doing things in a different way when it comes to implementing curriculum, school routines, and community. You never know what amazingness might emerge from the ordinary.
I know many teachers used this picture book at the end of this school year but I think it's also a perfect one to share with teachers at the beginning of the year. I Wish You More by Amy Krouse Rosenthal & Tom Lichtenheld is a great reminder to stop and wonder along the way during the school year. Embrace the natural curiosity of the children you will teach...and don't forget to stop and wonder about yourself and your teaching too.
I'm looking forward to seeing what books others have included in their lists this year! A huge thank you goes out to Cathy Mere and Mandy Robek for continuing to host the amazing celebration of picture books. I'm off to check out the #pb10for10 Google Community and hope you will too.

“We are very different, have different problems, clearly, but at the same time we are all humans and therefore we share a lot of similar problems and concerns globally.”
Taking the Mount to the United Nations
The Mount has a long-standing legacy of challenging barriers and working to provide access to education for everyone. After all, the Mount’s history is rooted in becoming the first degree-granting institution for women in the Commonwealth.
This tradition is still integral to the Mount’s core values, and Dr. Meredith Ralston, a member of the Department of Women’s Studies who is also cross-appointed with the Department of Political Studies, is one of the many on campus who work to continue this mission.
A professor at the Mount since 1993, Dr. Ralston represented the Mount at the United Nation’s Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China in 1995. The opportunity presented itself when the Mount was nominated to be the official Canadian focal point of the International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women (a UN research organization). This led to her research into the status of women across Nova Scotia which was used to evaluate the proposed United Nations’ Platform for Action (a series of guidelines for assessing the human rights of women worldwide).
“As a teenager I always thought I’d work for the UN, or go into the diplomatic field, and I’ve always had an interest in studying global issues ,” says Dr. Ralston, who was able to spend time at the United Nations headquarters in New York as part of preparatory conferences prior to the World Conference in Beijing.
Sharing her Experience
During her work with the UN in Beijing, and with access to representatives from other countries, Dr. Ralston’s interest was turned towards the social justice issues surrounding prostitution both at home and abroad. This led to the development and release of her highly acclaimed documentary film, Hope in Heaven in 2007 which spends two years following the life of a Filipino bar girl and deals with sex tourism in the Philippines.
Dr. Ralston’s experiences during her time at the Mount have allowed her to bring a stronger global perspective, which she hopes to share with her students, “The concept of cosmopolitanism is very important,” says Dr. Ralston. “The Mount contributes to this for sure, trying to get our students to see themselves as part of the bigger picture – as being citizens of the world.”

In today’s podcast, I’d like to introduce a new segement called Speakable. Think of speakable as Audiobook for content be it articles or blog posts that relate to the Art, Science, or History of Neon and Plasma. This was largely inspired by my love for audio books, and the podcast Optimal Living Daily Podcast that is centered around narration of articles and blog posts, with given permissions. So I thought I’d give it a shot to help fill in the gaps when interviews and discussions are being scheduled. To be able to give life to content that I can bring to you. Let me know in the comments or by email your thoughts on continuing this, suggested material are welcome.
In our first Speakable I’ll be reading “A Blaze of Crimson Light: The Story of Neon” by Jane E. Boyd and Joseph Rucker. An article relating to a brief history and science of neon in terms of it’s discovery, uses, and it’s associations with Sign making and advertising.
Before I begin I want to talk about the organization behind the source material, The Chemical Heritage Foundation, which is a library, a center for scholars, a museum, and archive. They focus on matter and materials and their effects on our modern world. They collect, preserve, and exhibit historical artifacts; engage communities of scientists and engineers; and tell the stories of the people behind breakthroughs and innovations.
Distillations is a blog, podcast, and magazine, centered around Science, Culture, and History, where you’ll find a diverse range of subjects such as science, Business, Technology, and Pop Culture. Please check it out at chemheritage.org in the link listed in the blog post.
Outro Music: Re-Entry by Lapse
Check www.taminglightning.net for the full post!
Thank You for listening to the Taming Lightning Podcast.
I hope you enjoyed the first segment of Speakable. If you find something interesting that you would like to have narrated, please send me an email or fb message at Taming Lightning.
I’d like to thank Michal Meyer, the Editor in Chief of Distillations at Chemical Heritage Foundation for permission to narrate their article from their Magazine.
Also I’d like to thank Pittsburgh Glass Center for supporting me as well as encouraging me to pursue this project, as well as the Plasma Art Alliance where I have access to the well of knowledge, and connects to some amazing people.
Keep an eye out for next summer’s classes at Pittsburgh Glass Center as we work to provide a space for learning neon and plasma.
If you like to support this, simply go to percyechols.com and look for the tab “Taming Lighting” or by typing in taminglightning.net, and click subscribe, later there will probably be other options in the future, but for now like, share, comment, and subscribe. See you next time

Ecclesiastes 8 (ESV)
Keep the King’s Command
8:1 Who is like the wise?
And who knows the interpretation of a thing?
A man’s wisdom makes his face shine,
and the hardness of his face is changed.
2 I say: Keep the king’s command, because of God’s oath to him. 3 Be not hasty to go from his presence. Do not take your stand in an evil cause, for he does whatever he pleases. 4 For the word of the king is supreme, and who may say to him, “What are you doing?” 5 Whoever keeps a command will know no evil thing, and the wise heart will know the proper time and the just way. 6 For there is a time and a way for everything, although man’s trouble lies heavy on him. 7 For he does not know what is to be, for who can tell him how it will be? 8 No man has power to retain the spirit, or power over the day of death. There is no discharge from war, nor will wickedness deliver those who are given to it. 9 All this I observed while applying my heart to all that is done under the sun, when man had power over man to his hurt.
Those Who Fear God Will Do Well
10 Then I saw the wicked buried. They used to go in and out of the holy place and were praised in the city where they had done such things. This also is vanity. 11 Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.12 Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I know that it will be well with those who fear God, because they fear before him. 13 But it will not be well with the wicked, neither will he prolong his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God.
Man Cannot Know God’s Ways
14 There is a vanity that takes place on earth, that there are righteous people to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked, and there are wicked people to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity. 15 And I commend joy, for man has no good thing under the sun but to eat and drink and be joyful, for this will go with him in his toil through the days of his life that God has given him under the sun.
16 When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on earth, how neither day nor night do one’s eyes see sleep,17 then I saw all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. However much man may toil in seeking, he will not find it out. Even though a wise man claims to know, he cannot find it out.

8 key steps that business school applicants can and should take… starting today
When you feel intimidation, ignorance, procrastination or fear, here’s a simple mantra for MBA candidates to keep in mind: “Go from known to unknown, from easy to difficult.” This methodical approach will help you build momentum and work through obstacles.
So, here are 8 key steps to jumpstarting your admissions campaign:
1. Update your resume.
This step is relatively easy and painless. Summarize what you do at work, describe your tangible accomplishments, and capture what you’re learning along the way. Don’t worry about keeping the resume to one page – you can always edit it later. This first step is about capturing information that describes your past and present – professionally, academically and personally.
2. Review your college transcript.
Depending on which school you attended, you may need to order a paper transcript from the registrar’s office rather than just access it immediately online. It’s important to refresh your memory as soon as possible about what courses you took and what grades you earned. If you find any surprises, like that “D” grade in Calculus 101, then you’ll have sufficient time to do something about it.
3. Get an expert evaluation of your candidacy.
Now that you have the details in hand, it’s very helpful to get some professional feedback to determine your competitiveness for admission. This will help you identify which aspects of your profile need immediate attention and with ones you can disregard.
4. Consider your recommenders.
Most business schools require two recommendations. And adcoms expect these to come from individuals who know you very well, professionally and personally. Even if your choice seem easy, start strengthening your relationships with these potential recommenders as soon as possible, ideally months before you’ll ask them to prepare recs for you. That way, their impressions and recollections will be more vivid, and their desire to support your candidacy will be stronger and more authentic. Or, if they should surprise with a “no” or “I’m too busy”, then you’ll have adequate time to come up with a good substitute.
5. Articulate your career goal.
Of course, you can – and probably will – change your career plans once you get into business school. But, having a hypothetical goal in mind that relates to your background and requires a top MBA education is essential. Adcoms want to know what motivates you to attend their school and how employable you’ll be upon graduation. So, do the research, explore various options, and come up with a career objective about which you can talk and write with passion, accuracy and conviction.
6. Short list your targeted schools.
Now that you’ve reviewed your professional and academic profiles, and framed your post-MBA goals, you can narrow the universe of business schools to a set of programs where you’d be glad to attend. Thoroughly assessing and comparing the curriculum, culture, community, job placement, etc., requires time. So don’t delay!
7. Calendarize milestone dates.
There are several key events and offerings that must be considered in advance. For example, most schools hold information sessions in major cities during the summer and early fall. And campus visits are most valuable when you can observe classes in session. So, take a look at the school’s website and academic calendar. Then enter those dates on the same calendar that you use every day so you won’t miss anything.
8. Decide whether you need an admissions consultant.
Congratulations! You’ve now set the stage for a success admissions campaign. However, are you still feeling uncertain about how to maximize your chances for success? If engaging the services of a professional advisor like The MBA Exchange is something you want to do, then take action early. You’ll have more options because the consultant’s client roster will still have some room. And your advisor will have more time to help you achieve the desired level of quality on each deliverable without having to rush.
So, now you’re out of excuses, right? If in doubt, please go back to Part 1 of this blog series explained “Why do some applicants wait to start their business school admissions campaign?” and Part 2 told you: “Why sooner is better than later when pursuing business school admission.” Let us know how you’re doing!

Are you currently suffering from shin splints? Or have persistent pain on your shin? Be sure to check out these 5 exercises from Dr. Marc Surdyka, PT, DPT, OCS.
“In the medical community, shin splints are referred to as medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) which is a fancy way of saying that the inside of your shin hurts,” explained Surdyka. “Although the exact nature of the condition isn’t well understood, rehab recommendations usually involve load management and activity modifications, resistance exercises, plyometrics, and/or running retraining as needed.”
Here are the 5 exercises that might be helpful in easing and preventing shin splints. Be sure to check out Dr. Surdyka’s video below on how to perform these exercises!
1) Front Foot Elevated Split Squat (Perform 3 sets X 6-15 reps):
Start with your front foot elevated 4-8 inches off the ground by using a step, plate, curb, or some other object. Drive your front knee toward the wall in front of you until you can’t lower yourself down any further. If it’s too challenging, use your hands to help with balance.
2) Single Leg Romanian Deadlift (RDL) with Knee Drive (Perform 3 sets X 6-15 reps):
Stand on one leg while keeping a slight bend in both knees, hinge at your hips until your trunk is almost parallel with the ground, and then bring your knee up toward the ceiling. Repeat this movement without touching your foot back to the ground. Once again, if this is too challenging, use your hands to help with balance.
3) Heel Raise (Perform 3 sets X 6-15 reps):
Stand at the edge of a step on one leg, rise up on the ball of your foot as high as you can, and then lower yourself down until you feel a stretch in your calf. If this is too challenging, use two legs or start on flat ground.
For the three exercises above, Surdyka said you should “aim for 3 sets of 6-15 challenging reps at a controlled pace and add weight as needed.”
4) Dorsiflexion (Perform 3 sets of 20 – 25 reps at a controlled pace):
Sit on a bench with your ankle hanging off the edge, attach a band or weight to your foot, and bring the top of your foot toward your face.
5) Standing Fire Hydrant (Perform 3 sets of 30 – 45 second holds per leg):
Stand on one leg with a band around your knees, spread the band by separating your knees, and remain as still as possible.
According to Surdyka, “You would ideally perform the exercises two times per week and keep pain to a ~2/10 or less. You can also perform non-weightbearing exercises such as leg extensions and leg curls if weightbearing exercises are not tolerable initially.”

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) continually strives to enhance all areas of its operations. In support of these efforts, the department recently moved into a bold new era for innovative ideas, research and accelerated implementation. Success will depend on our ability to carefully evaluate or implement the products and services provided to the users of Florida's transportation system. Our goal is to utilize newly developed technology or employ creative thinking to generate greater value for every transportation dollar invested.
After researching and evaluating many innovative ideas, the Central Office has developed a list of concepts, products and services that may be the best solution to the project's needs or design challenges. Some items on the list are completely developed, and only need tailoring to your project. We encourage you to propose one or more of these innovations for project specific solutions with confidence of approval by the Districts. Other items are not fully detailed and will require coordination with and approval by the District's Design Office. Many of these innovations have been successfully implemented in other states and countries. Not all projects benefit from these innovations and the Department is not advocating the general use of new products or designs where an economical well proven solution exists and is the most appropriate solution for the situation.

As most of you know, the last few weeks I’ve been researching series writing as a way to get my head around not only my next book (no. 2 in a series), but also the next however many I get to write with this world and characters. As a reader I hate the series that fizzle or get repetitive, and it breaks my heart to see the ones that go off the rails. When you love something, you want to follow it to the ends of the earth – and my goal these past weeks has been to figure out how to write something worth loving, something that works past Book 5, that makes for a beautiful and interesting full series. Here’s some of the initial thoughts and information that’s come up in my research.
A novel or short story should have at least one story question (often more) established at the beginning and brought through the entirety of the story. When all of the story questions are answered, the story feels complete. It’s over. Posing another question starts another story.
The rules are a little different for a series. With a series, there are some story questions it will take multiple books to answer. But, to make each book complete, there must be a central story question that applies to this particular book – a question that must be completely answered by the end. The relative weight of the answered questions vs. the unanswered questions determine whether the series feels like connected episodes or one long story – or somewhere in between.
Limitations – or, Consistency
A series has to hold together, meaning every book needs to feel like part of a larger whole. One of the chief ways this is accomplished is through the use of limitations. Basically, you can’t change the rules in Book Five to add ghosts to the world without some careful foreshadowing all the way back to Book One. And even then, you run the risk of losing readers as you change the rules on them. Basically, the universe you set up originally needs to be the universe that exists forever and ever – with new areas to explore, for sure, but with the same rules.
This applies to characters and plot in addition to worldbuilding. A character’s driving motivation (the two things that make him who he is) need to remain constant over the course of a series, or at minimum, change very very slowly and only one at a time. To give an example, in the series my friend James Tuck is writing, the main character’s family has been killed and his driving motivation for hunting monsters is the hope that one of them will kill him someday. (He’s Catholic and can’t kill himself.) A lot of things can happen to this character as he learns and changes. He can have a new girlfriend. He can face bigger, badder monsters, open a club, even adopt werewolf kids (not that I think this is in the cards for this guy). But if he stops wanting to join his family and die, it becomes a different kind of book.
In the same way, if the first book has a murder case (like mine does), the audience is going to expect a murder case in the second book. It can be a very different kind of murder, in a different location or social class. I could probably also get away with a difficult missing persons case, or a rape, later in the series. But it would be too far to stretch for the plot to lose the mystery element completely, to become a heartwarming story about a parcheesi tournament. It wouldn’t be a series book anymore. That’s what I mean about series – similar plot, style, character hotpoints, and even consistent worldbuilding all have to work together for the series as a whole.
Keeping It Fresh – or, Avoiding the Same Book Syndrome
We’ve all had that experience where a series we loved just stopped being fun. Sometimes this is because the books lose the energy they had in the beginning, or (worse) when they start repeating themselves. A lot of the research I did on series had to do with avoiding these two pitfalls.
A big part of it is character. If the main character(s) can grow and change over the course of the book and the series, that keeps things fresh and interesting. To accomplish this, every book has to matter. Every plot has to impact the character(s) in a personal way, and they will not be the same person they were at the start of the book – or the start of the series. Having authentic growth and change without changing the character’s hotpoints (see above) can be tricky, but it’s very possible. An example that a lot of authors in my generation point to is Lois McMaster Bujold’s Miles Vorkosigan series – Miles has very different adventures over the course of a lifetime, but as much as he grows and changes from book to book, he’s still Miles. He’s still clever and flawed in the same way he was at the beginning.
Most writers talking about keeping a series fresh point to plot elements: new challenges, new cases (for mystery/thrillers), higher stakes. Michael Stackpole even talks about what he calls an essential step to a good series, what he calls the “away game.” Taking the main character away from his/her comfort zone and support system for awhile shows you who they truly are, he says. Then, every book afterwards happens in light of this new understanding. Many of the writers in my writer’s group point to stakes: putting more in danger, making things more personal as you go through the series. The downside to this, of course, is that if you move too fast you’re in danger of worldwide stakes over and over again, which gets boring.
The last suggestion I’ve run across for keeping things fresh (while maintaining series limitations) is to pick up threads from previous books and plant threads in the current book, so that existing characters become more or less important, and people and ideas develop in a deeper way from book to book. Take something you thought was minor at the time and make it a big deal in the next book – this, I think, is one of the best suggestions I’ve run into.
I’d love to hear your opinion on what makes a series succeed or fail. What are your favorite series and what makes them tick? What are your biggest disappointments as readers of series and what do you think made them go wrong?

Mother makes soap from breast milk as ‘liquid gold’ for healing
Convinced of breast milk’s healing powers, one south Florida mom isn’t just feeding her baby with it. She’s been using this “liquid gold” to make organic soap for the whole family.
Now, Paula D’Amore is selling the bars, custom-made from each customer’s own expressed milk.
Launched in January from the kitchen of her Greenacres, Fla., home, Liquid Gold Soaps is a labor of love, D’Amore said — born from a desire to give other breast-feeding moms natural solutions to everything from cradle cap in infants to acne in adults.
“Breast milk has many, many healing properties: It softens the skin, helps control oil, reduces redness, helps to treat acne, rashes. I mean the list goes on and on,” D’Amore, 29, says on her Liquid Gold Soaps Facebook page. “So by putting it in an organic soap base, I am creating a soothing soap that the entire family can use.”
Cooked up on low-to-medium heat and mixed with ingredients like coconut oil, therapeutic-grade essential oils, glycerin, purified water, organic honey, soybean protein and — for the exfoliate variety — oatmeal, each bar of soap lasts for up to 34 uses, D’Amore said. With 5 ounces of breast milk, she makes three bars that sell for $15. Likewise, 10 ounces can produce six bars for $30.
“I think it’s great,” said Vanessa Hernandez, a Lake Worth, Fla., mom of four who has used Liquid Gold Soaps on the “really bad eczema” plaguing her 8-month-old daughter. “It’s the only thing that helps her. I used all of the creams the doctor recommended, and I didn’t see much of a relief.”
Hernandez was so impressed that she’s now using the soap on her face for the occasional breakout.
“It’s not a cure-all,” she said. “I do see blackheads, but I don’t break out as badly, and I don’t feel like it dries my skin out like other soaps.”
Though obstetricians and dermatologists contacted by the Sun Sentinel had never heard of soap made from breast milk — and could not vouch for its safety or effectiveness — it’s not an entirely new concept. The Internet is rife with mommy blogs touting the benefits of topically applied breast milk and YouTube videos offering tips and recipes for making soaps and lotions with the precious resource.
A similar practice stirred controversy earlier this year in China, where some entrepreneurial moms used their breast milk to make soaps, then sold them over the Internet to strangers. That is a dangerous phenomenon, experts said, because consumers could not be sure the milk was free of bacteria and disease.
D’Amore uses customers’ own breast milk. The stay-at-home mother of two said she’s never experienced negative side effects, either from the soap or from putting her own breast milk directly on herself or her baby.
“I’ve had other clients re-order because they loved it so much, and I’ve had one client in Broward in the past say that she didn’t see a difference but still liked it because she knew she was using an organic soap instead of ones that have chemicals,” D’Amore said.
Area doctors question whether breast milk truly has benefits when applied topically or made into a soap.
“Obviously, all the benefits we know of are if it’s ingested,” said Dr. Audry Castellanos-Vidaurre, an OB-GYN and member of the Memorial Healthcare System’s breast-feeding task force. “I have to say, I really haven’t heard much as far as benefits from an absorption standpoint.”
And there isn’t enough scientific research to suggest that breast milk soaps, lotions or other topical products help, or whether they may be harmful, especially when there are no safety controls or oversight on D’Amore’s kitchen-based operation, Castellanos-Vidaurre said.
“I always worry about cross-contamination,” the doctor said. “People think that because something is topical, there’s minimal harm, but that’s not necessarily true. People’s bodies absorb things differently.”
Miami dermatologist Dr. Leslie Baumann called the concept “a far-out idea but interesting,” saying it makes some sense.
“Breast milk contains all kinds of antibodies and lipids, fats and proteins,” said Baumann, chief executive of the Baumann Cosmetic & Research Institute. Those nutrients, however, “are likely broken down in the soap-making process.”
Christine Thompson, a leader with the La Leche League of Broward County, didn’t know much about breast-milk soaps, either, but said she couldn’t see the harm in it.
“People make soaps out of goat’s milk and cow’s milk,” she said. “It’s the same concept. It’s just milk from another animal.”
Karen Dorfman, 29, a stay-at-home mom in Cooper City, Fla., said she heard of D’Amore from several other breast-feeding moms who recommended the soaps. She’s eager to try her first batch of eight bars.
“I know the amazing benefits of breast milk. I’ve seen it firsthand,” Dorfman said, though this will be her first experience with breast milk soap, which she plans to use on her baby’s eczema. “If it works, I’ll definitely pump more and order more. I think it’s pretty cool.”

A presidential proclamation and a quirk in how North Carolina’s dual language programs operate are creating a shortage of bilingual teachers for the state. That’s leading to vacancies, restructuring of dual language programs, and even delays in programs starting.
A proclamation from President Donald Trump back in June halted the entry of workers from abroad that the president deemed as a risk to the U.S. economy as it tried to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. That ban included teachers. The problem for North Carolina is that it has many dual language programs, many of which rely on bilingual teachers from other countries.
There is, however, an exception in the proclamation for state-run programs. But in North Carolina, the largest sponsor of foreign teachers in dual language programs isn’t the state — it’s Participate Learning, a private organization.
David Young, CEO of Participate Learning, says that the state’s programs have been able to make accommodations and keep going for this year, but if the problem extends into next year, it could be a serious issue.
“Regardless of who is in office January 1, if we see the ban continue, that’s going to be a challenge for North Carolina as a whole.” Later, he added: “Without the overturning of the ban, dual language can’t survive.”
What is dual language?
Dual language programs are essentially when students are immersed in another language. There are different varieties. The General Assembly, for the purposes of granting exemptions from state class size restrictions, defined them as “classes in which (i) at least one-third of the students’ dominant language is English and (ii) instruction involves both English and a target foreign language with a minimum of fifty percent (50%) of core content taught in the target foreign language in order to promote dual language proficiency for all students.”
You may be familiar with such programs in a school near you. In North Carolina, there are 47 public school districts, six charter schools, and six independent or private schools with some form of dual language or language immersion programs, according to information from the state Department of Public Instruction. In total, there are more than 200 programs.
The most popular programs in North Carolina are in Spanish. There are 167 of those. The second most popular is Mandarin Chinese. There are 17 of those. But there are also programs in Cherokee, Greek, Urdu, German, Japanese, and French.
Young’s organization started in 1987 with the goal of bringing visiting teachers from other countries to the states. At the time, Participate Learning was called Visiting International Faculty (VIF). As Young describes it, North Carolina was ambitious about its language programs, and his organization began to find teachers from around the world, help them acclimate to the state, learn the system, and get housing — that sort of thing. Over time, Young’s organization became the largest such sponsor in North Carolina.
Dual language programs grew in number and scope, in part because they weren’t just about teaching kids another language.
“Over the years, what we learned was that immersion was more than just a language methodology,” Young said. “It was also an academic approach.”
Students in these programs had improved executive function and cognitive development, and often got higher scores on tests, Young said.
And it’s not just Young saying it. Type in “Dual language program outcomes” and you will see a number of articles and studies. The first hit is from a RAND Corporation study in 2017 titled: “Dual-Language Immersion Programs Raise Student Achievement in English.“
Young says the programs are effective across socioeconomic groups, and in rural, urban, and suburban settings. And these programs can be found in just about every educational setting imaginable: private, traditional public, charter, and religious, according to Young.
As the programs in North Carolina grew, the state became a national leader. And, as we mentioned, they basically rely entirely on international exchange teachers. This is partly because the number of American teachers qualified to teach in such programs is small. But it’s also because part of the purpose behind these programs is to expose students to the cultures of the language they are learning.
When Trump signed his proclamation in June, the stated goal was to protect American workers. Young said he doesn’t think the impact on dual language programs was intentional.
“What we think has happened is the administration kind of made a wholesale decision to shut down the teacher visa without necessarily having any knowledge or understanding that by shutting down the teacher visa, you’re effectively shutting down or impacting negatively this choice program,” he said.
According to data that Participate Learning keeps about the programs it runs, the impacts from Trump’s decision have ranged in severity. Sixty-eight programs had to make “minor to medium” changes to their programs; 21 had to make major changes; and eight couldn’t keep service going in all grades “and had to either pause the program for a grade level or are relying on a limited number of hours of virtual instruction from a remote teacher,” according to Participate Learning.
Young said that at least 200 teachers were supposed to come into North Carolina this fall. COVID-19 created some logistical challenges surrounding that, but the ban completely cut them off.
Hoke County Schools started a Spanish dual immersion program in one of its elementary schools about seven years ago, according to Donna Thomas, assistant superintendent of human resources for the school system. She said in an email that the decision was made because of all the evidence about how such programs benefit students. The school began its program in kindergarten, adding a new grade level each year. This year the program reached sixth grade.
The new teacher for this year was hired last spring. She was working on getting her J-1 Visa when Trump’s proclamation happened. That delayed her coming to the United States and left the Hoke County school with a vacancy.
The principal of the school had to split the fourth grade dual immersion teacher’s time between fourth and fifth grade to accommodate the vacancy. Meanwhile, because of COVID-19, that same teacher is also having to split her time between face-to-face fourth and fifth grade dual immersion students and online ones, according to Thomas.
Alyn Szymanski, the program choice coordinator for Cabarrus County Schools, said the district’s dual language programs are fast-growing and have a lot of parental interest.
The district offers Mandarin and Spanish in programs that reach about 1,415 students. The proclamation threw a wrench in the district’s plans for this fall.
“We had teachers hired for eight different schools who we found out mid-summer were not going to be able to be brought over to support those programs,” she said.
Amongst other things, the district had to postpone two of its programs as a result.
It could have been worse. When teachers come from abroad to teach in these programs, they are on three-year visas. That can potentially be extended for up to another two years. But after that, the teacher has to go. However, because of COVID-19, a one-year extensions were granted for teachers whose visas were about to expire. This was because of safety issues related to travel and the fact that at the start of the pandemic, it was virtually impossible to get flights or cross many borders.
“Luckily we retained some of the teachers who normally would have had to go home during this window,” Szymanski said.
Gerald Hernandez, principal at E. E. Miller Elementary School in Cumberland County Schools, runs the oldest dual language program in the district. It is Spanish immersion.
He was supposed to get four teachers from abroad for this fall. By chance, one made it in. The other three didn’t.
“This pretty much left vacant positions here at the school, and right now I can say that I’m still not sure of the future of the program because I can only imagine that this going to have long-term effects,” he said.
And Thomas, from Hoke County, said this isn’t just an issue for dual language programs in North Carolina. It can affect other classrooms as well. She said Hoke County had a science teacher who was supposed to start at the district’s early college back in July. The teacher hasn’t made it to the states. And Thomas said that she is hearing similar stories from some of her colleagues around the region.
“The reality is that when it comes to filling teacher vacancies, we have a workforce issue. Our domestic workforce is not currently able to fully meet the demands for qualified teachers,” she said in an email.
What will happen?
Caroline Spencer, director of government relations for Participate Learning, said her organization is trying to get the federal government to grant an exemption from the president’s proclamation so that these dual language teachers can come to the country. She said Participate Learning is working with the North Carolina School Superintendents’ Association and superintendents around the state.
Young said Participate Learning is in touch with North Carolina’s Congressional delegation as well.
“The delegation is aware and supportive of dual language, but I’m not sure that parents across North Carolina understand what’s at play here, what’s at risk,” he said.
Meanwhile, a case in California is challenging the Trump administration’s proclamation. A judge issued a preliminary injunction on the proclamation earlier this month. According to a Forbes.com article, that injunction will stay in place “pending trial,” or unless the injunction is overturned on appeal.
For the time being, teachers overseas can get visas again. According to Spencer, some have been issued, but so far no teachers that Participate Learning works with have made it into North Carolina.
Thomas said she is optimistic they will be able to make it to Hoke County soon.
“We’re very hopeful that they’ll be able to be here by Christmas,” Thomas said.
Meanwhile, dual language programs wait. Young said that the growth and success of North Carolina’s dual language programs necessitated the support of private partners such as his organization. So, with the proclamation exempting programs run through the government in other states, it is as if North Carolina is being punished for its success.
“It’s weird that they would allow for states to continue to run the exact same program but cut off North Carolina who has had the most success with it by using a public/private partnership,” he said.
Behind the Story
In response to inquiries about J-1 Visa issues, the U.S. State Department responded with a link to the exemptions from the president’s proclamation. The State Department representative reached said “I am afraid we don’t have anything more at this time.” The State Department is responsible for visas for foreigners wanting to come to the United States.

Dr. Robb Krumlauf is the founding Scientific Director of the Stowers Institute and holds academic appointments as a Professor in the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology at the University of Kansas Medical School and Professor of Oral Biology at the University of Missouri Kansas City Dental School. Dr. Krumlauf... read morereceived his B.E. in chemical engineering from Vanderbilt University and a Ph.D. in Developmental Biology from Ohio State University. He did postdoctoral training at the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research in Glasgow, Scotland and at the Institute for Cancer Research in Philadelphia, PA. He established a research group and served as the Head of the Division of Developmental Neurobiology at the MRC National Institute for Medical Research in London, UK. Dr. Krumlauf’s research focuses on understanding the molecular and cellular pathways that control patterning of brain development and the basic body plan. He investigates vertebrate head development and Hox genes to understand patterning mechanisms and regulatory networks in hindbrain segmentation and craniofacial development. Hox genes play critical roles in regulating regional diversity in many tissues, so the goal of his research is to build a basis for understanding the regulatory networks and pathways that pattern many elements of the basic body plan in development, disease and evolution.

Caliche is defined as a crust or a succession of crusts of calcium carbonate that form within or on top of stony soil in arid and semi-arid regions and is often combined with clay. Caliche is lacking in organic matter. Its crusting tendencies often prohibit drainage.
You can't have just one. As soon as you plant one, you'll have a drift, then a sweep, then a field if you have the space. But I still don't consider the prairie coneflower to be invasive, merely pleasant. Next to the Indian Blanket, the Mexican Hat shouts Southwest prairies. And its a tough hombre. If your stand becomes too dense or too much, just weed some out. They're adaptable to most native soils and will thrive on available or once a month supplementation. Coneflowers bloom yellow, reddish or brown late spring into fall and make an attractive display when mixed.
Virginia creeper, one of our pernicious native creepers, is a worthy low care vine for brilliant fall foliage and deep blue berries (highly toxic to humans) loved by birds. Virginia creeper normally spread by seeds in bird droppings, which is the method it came to my landscape. When spotted early, Virginia creeper easily pulls out, but if not spotted, within no time, it will cover a fence, climb a pole or cover an area. Which can be either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on one's view.
Mountain mahogany is native to the Texas Panhandle and throughout the Southwest, found in elevations from 3000-9500 ft. Another common name is Alderleaf mountain mahogany, because its leaves resemble that of an alder. Mountain mahogany, whose wood is very hard (Palo Duro) is found in Palo Duro Canyon. Extremely drought tolerant, it will survive on 10 inches of rainfall. An aromatic shrub with shredding reddish bark, but can grow to tree size. Mountain mahogany's flowers are small, rayless and insignificant, as they are in the other species.
Beautiful xeric sage with aromatic soft gray green leaves, mostly evergreen. Summer to fall blooming with mauve/purple sticky but fragrant flowers. Takes a few years to reach mature height. Requires good drainage and dry soil in the winter. A Plant Select® Plant. Native to California and will grow in the High Desert regions. Cold hardy to Zone 5 and quite heat tolerant.
A mid height grass suitable for any low water-use garden, city or country. It does self-seed somewhat, but I hadn’t noticed it to be a problem in a xeric setting (simply remove or transplant them). It's greatest attribute is it's gently flowing nature int he wind. It is native to Texas and the southwest. I saw it growing along the slopes of the Chisos Mountains in Big Bend National Park. It pairs well with yucca, agave, Calylophus and any native shrub.
Black dalea, an autumn blooming southwest native shrub, should be used more in the home xeric landscape. Growing only to about 3 feet, black dalea spreads out with thin, wiry branches and small, green, compound leaves. The shrub becomes completely covered with tiny purple flowers as to be enshrouded in a purple cloud.
Many references are unsure of its cold hardiness to zero, and it had thrived nicely in my city garden in Amarillo. However, it does not seem to be reliably cold hardy. It's a beautiful shrub that provides stunning late fall color that is worth replanting.
Mexican blue sage is a native of Mexico and in many references labels it cold hardy to USDA Zone 8, however, it has wintered over in Amarillo many years now, even in full northern exposure. It has died back to the ground once or twice, but comes back up from the roots. If good to well drained soil is provided, it should do fine. And I hope you can provide that, as Mexican blue sage is one of my top plants to include in xeric gardens. True bright blue flowers bloom summer and fall with once a month watering. Butterflies are attracted to it. Indispensable.
Texas, or scarlet sage is a perennial to the Southern U.S. and Texas. In the Texas Panhandle, it is sold as a bedding plant, since it is not cold hardy. Some varieties will come back due to re-seeding. Many varieties are available, some are more drought tolerant than others, such as 'Forest Fire', while 'Lady in Red' requires medium water-use beds. Summer long blooming, choose your color among scarlet, red, rose, pink, coral and white. As with most sages, hummingbirds, butterflies and bees are attracted to them.
Ephedra minimus is a dwarf version of E. viridis. Woody base with many thin, branched evergreen stems. Rare to find in nurseries, it is appreciated for is evergreen presence and rarity. No leaves or flowers
Golden sulfur buckwheat is one of those plants you'll come across while hiking in the West and wonder why it isn't in your garden, its so adorable!
The leaves are gray-green, spatula shaped and woolly underneath, to about 2-3 inches. They form a rosette at the base. In early spring, tall, stout stems extend upward up to 2-3 feet. The bright golden flowers are nearly luminescent, appearing first as ball-like umbels (clusters), then each ball opening up to a circle of golden flowers. As the flowers age, then turn orange.
Drought tolerant perennial with white cup shaped blooms usually found growing in poor soils. I planted it in heavily amended soil, and I think it was too rich for it. It was eaten up during the heat of the summer by flea beetles. I thought the too rich soil was the cause; however, Judith Phillips in Plants For Natural Gardens, wrote about this same occurrence in native soils. Phillips hypothesized this may be a way for tufted evening primrose to escape summer’s heat. However, my plant died, rather than just going to ground.
If you find yourself in Palo Duro Canyon at the end of April or beginning of May, the purple haze dotting the cliffsides is feather dalea. Sporadic blooms will open after showers throughout summer, though never as profuse as in springtime. With monthly irrigation in a xeric garden, feather dalea adds color and texture with it's twiggy, but sturdy, appearance. Small purple flowers combined with white plumes carries the haze impression from a distance.
Shadscale lives in alkaline caliche soil in most of its native range throughout the Southwest and has a high tolerance of saline or sodic soils. Given improved soil conditions, it will grow larger. Do not improve the soil to insure it keeps its neat, compact shape. Shadscale blooms yellow flowers in early summer which mature into seed heads. Its silver-gray leaves are semi-evergreen.
Purple or desert sage prefers leaner, quick draining soils. It is said to grow 2-3 feet tall and deeply branched with silver gray foliage and a profusion of violet bluish flowers atop spikes in late spring and summer. Low water-use, but does better with once a month irrigation. One of the finest flowers of the desert, it is the sage of Riders of the Purple Sage, by Zane Grey. Grows throughout the Great Basin Desert.
Turpentine shrub is an evergreen shrub native to the southern parts of the Southwest, and only marginally cold hardy on the Caprock. It will survive when in a sheltered location and soil with excellent drainage, along rocky cliffs, outcrops and arroyos. Avoid compact clay soil, or amend clay soil very well for drainage with inorganic amendments. Yellow autumn flowers.
Texas beargrass is a grass-like perennial evergreen plant native in rocky and limestone soils from central Texas to the upper Rio Grande Plains and west to the Trans-Pecos and into S.E. Arizona. Not a true grass, Texas sacahuista is a member of the lily (Liliaceae ) family. It flowers in Amarillo in early April. A short flowering stem barely rises above the many thin leaves. The flowers appear rose or reddish on the outside before opening, are numerous, white to cream colored forming dense vertical clusters.
Oenothera macrocarpa, and O. missouriensis have been used interchangeably. Native over a wide range including the plains and wooded areas, carries the common name, Missouri evening primrose, bigfruit sundrops and Ozark Sundrops.
Dark green, semi-evergreen aromatic leaves are the feature most prized, along with the tiny yellow daisy-like flowers that bloom spring to fall. Damianita prefers full sun and lean soil and does well in heat and temperatures to zero degrees. Daminaita will lose its leaves in cold winters.
Texas betony is a workhorse of the garden once established, putting on a plethora of scarlet blooms midsummer on. A member of the mint family with square stems, the foliage is fragrant, but the plant is not invasive as classic mints tend to be. Hummingbirds love Texas betony. Though native to the Southwest, it is found in moist crevices and steep, stony places in the mountains in moist, well-drained sand, loam, and clay. Texas betony is said to be cold hardy to -20°, however, I have not found it reliable in returning each winter. Yet, it is worth replanting.
Raspberry hybrid bush sage is very similar in appearance to Salvia greggii, blooming April through November. It's two-lipped flowers with a pleasant deep raspberry color, and the mahogany calyces contrast nicely. 'Raspberry Delight' is a hybrid cross between Salvia greggii 'Furman's Red' and and a high altitude collection of Salvia microphylla from central Arizona. Woody and brittle branches with small oval shaped leaves that hang on to the plant sometimes through the winter, as they do on S. greggii.
Cliff fendlerbush is another Texas and Southwest native shrub too little used in the xeric landscape. Springtime lifts the cliff fendlerbush above the ordinary into prominence in the landscape. It is said the ravines and arroyos look dotted with snow from a distance, so profuse are the fragrant, creamy white, sometimes with a pink tinge, four petaled flowers in May and June. It's natural element is rocky arroyos (rupicola=rock dweller), cliff ledges and limestone soils with good drainage that average 12-18 inches of moisture with hot sunny days.
Gorgeous! Luscious goblet shaped lemon yellow flowers on this native wildflower that also develops elongated seed capsules. The lighter, silvery sheen of the leaves distinguishes the O. macrocarpa var. incana subspecies, and is also an evening to morning bloomer.
I prefer dwarf chamisa to the full size species. Dwarf Chamisa fits better into home xeric areas and has green leaves, rather than gray or silvery. It's silvery stems combine well with its green foliage and yellow gold flowers. Although given the species and variety name "nauseosus" it has a pleasant fragrance. Dwarf chamisa blooms profusely in late summer and will readily re-seed.
Agaves are striking and architectural Southwest native plants and are included in a group of plants I term Southwest evergreens. They are unusual in that at maturity, they only flower once, and then die. for this reason, some classify them as multiannual, rather than perennial. However, as they common name suggests, it takes many years before they flower. Leaves of the Agave are arranged in a spiral beginning from a near invisible stem, forming a rosette.Agaves vary in size from 4-6 inches to larger than man-size.
Gooseberryleaf globemallow is very close in appearance to scarlet globemallow, Sphaeralcea coccinea, but much taller, up over 2 feet. The leaves are silver green and hairy, resembling the leaves of the current shrubs in shape, so named from the family name of currents and gooseberries, Grossulariaceae. Flowers are orange in color and bloom from May and June, sometimes later in the summer. Native to hot, dry areas semi-arid regions throughout the Southwest and the Great Basin Desert. Prefers good to sharp drainage.

Rheumatoid Arthritis can be a debilitating disease, of which still not much is known about what causes it. For Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness Week, Jodie Bryant, Course Leader for our MSc (Pre-registration) Physiotherapy, has worked with patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and so is ideally placed to explain this illness, how it impacts an individual and what to do if you think you may be affected.
This week, 13 - 19 September is Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness Week. Rheumatoid Arthritis or RA is a long-term condition that causes patients pain, swelling and stiffness in their joints. The condition can affect multiple joints but mostly a patient’s hands, feet, ankles and wrists.
Rheumatoid arthritis is what is known as an ‘autoimmune disease’. This means that a patient’s immune system (which usually acts to fight infection) attacks the cells that line a patients joints by mistake, making the joints swollen, stiff and painful.
It's not clear what triggers this problem with the immune system. It seems from the evidence that females with a family history of RA who smoke are more at risk.
Patients should be strongly encouraged to see their GP if they have any pain, stiffness, swelling or deformities in their joints. There is no ‘one’ set test to diagnose RA but several important factors will be considered when making a diagnosis. A GP will likely complete some blood tests as well as a physical examination and possibly order scans and x-rays. They may also prescribe medications to help reduce inflammation and control pain. It is also likely patients will be referred to a specialist called a Rheumatologist for ongoing care.
Patients should also be referred to a Physiotherapist (like me). A Physiotherapist, along with the medical team, will be one of the multi-disciplinary team that will support a patient to manage their RA. A Physiotherapist will focus on supporting a patient with joint mobility, function, muscle strength and keeping independence. Several years ago I worked on a specialist rheumatology ward treating patients with RA. Patients would often come into hospital for a 2 week intensive rehabilitation programme. During this time the medical team would trial new medications and treatments and the therapy team would focus on building a patient’s strength, function and independence.
Currently there is no cure for RA but with early identification, treatment and support, the impact of the disease on patients can be managed very well. Several key lifestyle changes can really support the management of RA including stopping smoking, reducing any excess weight and becoming more active – under the supervision of a Physiotherapist or other exercise professional.
There are several excellent organisations that provide information to patients who have RA. Versus Arthritis have an excellent website and helpline available for patients.
- The Versus Arthritis Helpline - 0800 5200 520
- Stop smoking helpline - 0300 123 1044
Our MSc (Pre-registration) Physiotherapy programme supports students to learn about diseases such as RA, and develop clinical leadership knowledge and skills over three different practice areas: musculoskeletal, cardio respiratory and neurology. Practice placement experiences also ensure that they have sufficient opportunity to achieve the required practice competencies, so that they can practice as an autonomous newly qualified practitioner after successfully completing the course.

Our Public Lands Stewardship Program works to provide stewardship opportunities for local residents and ANN supporters on both BLM and National Forest lands throughout the Applegate Watershed. This program promotes a hands on approach to conservation, while encouraging our communities to build a deeper connection to this place we call home.
We use this program to bring our communities closer to the land and more directly engaged in its protection, stewardship and restoration. Our goal is to promote and implement community scaled restoration and stewardship projects including native plant and pollinator restoration projects, trail maintenance, trash clean ups, unauthorized off-road vehicle closure projects, and other activities directly related to improving both the quality of habitat and the quality of life in the Applegate Watershed.
Currently we are engaged in a multi-year native plant and pollinator restoration project in the Upper Applegate River watershed, working to restore a weedy meadow and river terrace into more functional native plant and pollinator habitat.

James Gray’s films (Little Odessa, The Yards, We Own the Night, Two Lovers) typically have a reliable, one-time watchability while lacking the central appeal required for multiple viewings. The Lost City of Z fits that description quite well. The film, based on David Grann’s bestseller, recounts Colonel Percival “Percy” Fawcett’s obsession with discovering a lost civilization in the Amazonian wilds. He made several trips, including the ill-fated final one upon which he disappeared, to the same river near the border of Bolivia and Brazil to find the city he dubbed Z (his critics derisively said he sought El Dorado, or some other such mythical city of gold).
In Gray’s well-meaning but methodically paced exploration of Fawcett’s obsession, Charlie Hunnam (“Sons of Anarchy”) plays the British explorer with the proper amount of stiff upper lip and controlled hubris. What starts as a map-making expedition at the behest of the Royal Geographical Society becomes a survival quest into a land actively trying to kill him. Hunnam has both the gravitas of an early 20th Century British soldier and the magnetism to engage viewers for nearly two and a half hours. As Fawcett’s constant companion, Henry Costin, Robert Pattinson is near unrecognizable beneath a bushy beard, which probably does more to separate him from Twihards seeking more Edward Cullen than anything. Recognizing Ian “Emperor Palpatine” McDiarmid in a rare non-Star Wars appearance is just an added treat.
Excursions, however brief, into other, non-exploratory aspects of Fawcett’s life, like World War I, slow down an already deliberate film. Fortunately, each of the three Fawcett expeditions depicted increase in intrigue and, often, danger. As shot by Darius Khondji, these unexplored lands are as gorgeous as they are deadly. But so is the pacing established by Gray; many audience members may get as lost as Fawcett.

Because it ’ sulfur unmanageable to formalize the definition above, we typically use a different definition that ’ mho known to be equivalent. This definition is called “ Indistinguishability under Chosen Plaintext Attack ”, or just “ IND-CPA ” for short .
The definition is formalized as a game between an adversary and some honest “ Challenger ”. For the subject of populace identify encoding the plot looks like this :
- First the challenger generates an encryption keypair, and sends the public key to the adversary. (It keeps the secret key.)
- Next, the adversary selects a pair of messages (of equal length) and sends them to the challenger.
- The challenger picks a random bit and encrypts one of the two messages as . It sends back to the adversary.
- Finally, the adversary outputs a guess . We say the adversary “wins” if it guesses correctly: that is, if .
As mentioned in early articles, the adversary can always win with probability 1/2, precisely by guessing randomly in step ( 4 ). So we ’ re not interested in whether the adversary wins at all. alternatively we ’ re concern in the adversary ’ randomness advantage, which is to say : how much better he does than he would if he good guessed randomly.
We can express this advantage as | Probability Adversary Wins – 1/2|. ( This probability is taken over many runs of the experiment and all the randomness used — it ’ s not just the adversary ’ s success after one plot. ) An attacker who wins with probability precisely 1/2 will have “ zero ” advantage in the IND-CPA game. In general for a scheme to be IND-CPA dependable it must hold that for all possible ( time-bounded ) adversaries, the adversary ’ s advantage will be negligibly small .
One obvious bill about the IND-CPA game is that the attacker has the public key. ( Recall that he gets it in footstep [ 1 ] ). So sometimes people, upon seeing this definition for the inaugural time, propose the following strategy for winning the game :
- The adversary picks two messages and then encrypts both of them using the public key.
- When the adversary receives the ciphertext in step (3), he just compares that ciphertext to the two he generated himself.
- Voila, the adversary can always figure out which message was encrypted!
If the encoding scheme is not randomized — mean that every prison term you encrypt a message using a given public winder, you get the same accurate ciphertext — this attack works perfectly. In fact it works therefore well that an attacker who uses this scheme will constantly win the IND-CPA plot, meaning that such a system can not possibly satisfy the IND-CPA security definition .
The implication therefore, is that in order to satisfy the IND-CPA definition, any public-key encoding outline must be randomized. That is, it must take in some random bits as region of the encoding algorithm — and it must use these bits in generating a ciphertext. Another way to think about this is that for every possible public key and message there are many possible ciphertexts that the encoding algorithm can output, all of which are valid encryptions of .
Read more: A Few Thoughts on Cryptographic Engineering
We see this practice of randomization in many real-world encoding schemes. For example, most RSA encoding is done using some sort of “ encoding padding ” schema, like OAEP or ( the identical unwrap ) PKCS # 1v1.5. Algorithms like Elgamal ( and derivatives like ECIES ) besides use randomness in their encoding .
The authoritative takeaway here is that this use of randomness in the encoding algorithm international relations and security network ’ triiodothyronine just for playfulness : it ’ randomness required in order to get semantic security .
The case of symmetric encryption. As a annotate, it ’ mho besides worth mentioning that IND-CPA can be applied to symmetrical encoding. The major differences in that definition are ( A ) that in step ( 1 ) there is no populace key to give to the adversary, and ( B ) to replace this lost functionality, the rival must provide an “ encoding ” oracle to the adversary. specifically, that means that the rival must, when requested, code messages of the adversary ’ mho choice using its clandestine key. This can happen at any decimal point in the game.
The caveats about deterministic encoding besides enforce in the symmetrical font, and for basically the lapp reason. In short : ciphertexts must be diversified in some room so that two different encryptions of the same plaintext do not produce the lapp ciphertext. If this was not the shell, then the adversary could easily win the game .
The only major remainder is that in the symmetrical jell, this diversification doesn ’ metric ton always need to be done with randomness. Some schemes use “ express ”. For exercise, it ’ s possible to build an encoding outline where the rival keeps a elementary counter between messages, and uses this buffet in place of “ true ” randomness. ( A good model of this is CTR mode encoding, where the attacker ensures that initial counters [ IVs ] never recur. ) This obviously merely works in settings where there is a individual encryptor, or all encryptors are guaranteed to not repeat unlike counters .

It’s hard to imagine the University of British Columbia golf program, which has captured either a Men’s or Women’s Team title at the Canadian University/College Championships each of the past 16 years (including this year’s Women’s Team, for the 13th time), improving upon its success. But a new software application developed by a former player is powering the program to even greater proficiency.
The model, created by UBC Sauder School of Business student-athlete Gavin McQueenie, picks up on the Strokes Gained platform recently popularized by the PGA Tour. In similar fashion, it reveals how individual Thunderbird golfers compare to PGA Tour professionals on any aspect of the game: six to 10 feet on the putting green; 175 to 225 yards out in the fairway; or off the tee, to name a few. The comprehensive analysis is the result of McQueenie sitting in on a presentation UBC Sauder professor Martin L. Puterman delivered on Strokes Gained, a subject in which McQueenie had no previous knowledge. The Toronto native then began applying some newfound Microsoft Excel skills he learned in another class to develop his own model, one that immediately improved upon the old-fashioned way his Thunderbirds golf team was using performance data.
“Our old stats were a very basic — how many greens did you hit, how many fairways did you hit, how many times did you getup and down,” described the 21-year-old. “Things like that are somewhat helpful but they don’t necessarily tell you what you can work on to do better.”
After refining his idea and calculations with the help of Professor Puterman, McQueenie approached UBC Sauder Master’s student and software engineer Fridrik Karason, a native of Iceland with zero golf knowledge, to launch a user-friendly website at tbirdsgolf.com.
Unlike the PGA Tour, which has an army of volunteers inputting ShotLink data, UBC players must submit their own shot-by-shot information on that portal. Using the algorithm collectively polished by McQueenie, Puterman and Karason, individual measurements automatically adjust on screen, yielding either a positive or negative comparison to PGA Tour players. The data can be separated by tournament and round too.
“This sort of does everything for you,” added McQueenie. “It lets you compare against the benchmark and now you can compare against the team average as well, not only the PGA Tour. It’s just a better way to separate all the different categories of the game.”
With more than 42,000 shots tracked, the sample size has grown exponentially and proven incredibly valuable, especially to the coaching staff, which has sharpened its instruction and training. Previously, if the team struggled in one aspect during an event— say, putting — the whole team would then spend practice rolling the rock. With individual metrics now available, certain players struggling on the greens can putt while other players can work on their tee game or iron play as directed by the software.
“This information has taken away from broad strokes a little bit and helped us out,” said Chris MacDonald, head coach of UBC’s men’s and women’s squads. MacDonald sees real value in comparing collegiate golfers to PGA Tour players since most are aspiring to reach that level. However, what initially proved challenging was having to compare the women’s team to the same data since the LPGA Tour does not have ShotLink statistics.
McQueenie and Co. — who have contributed thousands of hours to the project and would like to get the software in the hands of more competitive golfers and coaches — had been using a multiplier for a few years to even the men’s-women’s measurements. But in the last few months enough women’s shots have finally been logged to generate more accurate analysis.
All of the extremely specific breakdowns have proven to be a huge boost for the entire program, according to MacDonald, which frequently battles top U.S. schools in NCAA and NAIA events. Now it’s time for the program to conquer a new frontier outside Canada.

On an Android phone, you can disable all potential spam messages from the Messages app. Tap the three-dot icon in the upper right of the app and select Settings > Spam protection and turn on the Enable spam protection switch.
How do I stop my messages from showing blocked?
Messages from blocked senders are deleted upon arrival so they don’t even appear on your device. Go to Phone -> More -> Settings -> Call blocking -> Block list and add the number you want to block.
Why do I still get texts from a blocked number?
When you block a contact, their texts go nowhere. The person whose number you’ve blocked won’t receive any sign that their message to you was blocked; their text will simply sit there looking as though it were sent and not yet delivered, but in fact, it will be lost to the ether.
How can a blocked number still text me?
Blocking contacts via Messages When a blocked number tries to send you a text message, it won’t go through. If they’re on iOS, they might not even see the “delivered” note in their Messages app—though it’s possible they’ll see your chat bubble turn from blue (iMessage) to green (SMS).

Dear Spectrum Community,
Compelling research on the future of schooling was recently released by the World Economic Forum. Eight critical skills line up with the thinking and strategic conversations in which I have been engaging since even before I came to Spectrum. With the world universally poised for something better across the education sector, it is a good time to revisit these concepts. I believe they are embedded in Spectrum’s philosophy and history, and what brought me and my family to Rockford. Please join me as parents and key stakeholders in reflecting on these skills and considering what our next level of growth is as a school moving forward to curb never staying stagnant, complacent, or idle.
- Global citizenship skills: Include content that focuses on building awareness about the wider world, sustainability and playing an active role in the global community.
- Innovation and creativity skills: Include content that fosters skills required for innovation, including complex problem-solving, analytical thinking, creativity and systems analysis.
- Technology skills: Include content that is based on developing digital skills, including programming, digital responsibility and the use of technology.
- Interpersonal skills: Include content that focuses on interpersonal emotional intelligence, including empathy, cooperation, negotiation, leadership and social awareness.
- Personalized and self-paced learning: Move from a system where learning is standardized, to one based on the diverse individual needs of each learner, and flexible enough to enable each learner to progress at their own pace.
- Accessible and inclusive learning: Move from a system where learning is confined to those with access to school buildings to one in which everyone has access to learning and is therefore inclusive.
- Problem-based and collaborative learning: Move from process-based to project- and problem-based content delivery, requiring peer collaboration and more closely mirroring the future of work.
- Lifelong and student-driven learning: Move from a system where learning and skilling decrease over one’s lifespan to one where everyone continuously improves on existing skills and acquires new ones based on their individual needs.
Regarding our March 2021 Hero Squad, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) – Share your Spare Change Campaign. We have participated in the LLS Hero Squad throughout my time at Spectrum, even through the pandemic closure last year. I’d like to continue our legacy, but scale back a little. I will not have trinkets or rewards, but would like to have families send in their spare change in any kind of container over the next few weeks, deadline March 19. No competition, no prizes, just a way to give back to families who are facing the nightmare of childhood cancers.

Media release: 6 December 2020
November temperatures above average: summer heatwave is developing with significant impacts likely
The next New Zealand summer heatwave is developing, and the expected impacts are extremely likely to be intense according to Wise Response scientists.
The team monitoring its progress have found that sub-surface sea temperature anomalies east of the South Island and southern North Island were up to a massive 3°C above average a depth from 100 to 250 metres for October 2020. This represents marine heatwave conditions. West of the South Island these have been about 1°C above average in the central Tasman Sea.
Already scientists at the University of Otago Marine Sciences have noted mortality in young, yellow-eyed penguin chicks because the blue cod, unlike smaller fish species the adults catch, are too large to be digested.
The big marine/land heatwave of 2017/18 gave New Zealand its warmest summer and the warmest January on record. It covered an area of four million square kilometres (comparable to the Indian subcontinent), including the land, the eastern Tasman Sea and the Pacific east of New Zealand to the Chatham Islands.
The warm conditions caused massive ice loss in South Island glaciers, estimated to be the largest annual loss of glacier ice in nearly 60 years of records for the Southern Alps. Marine ecosystems were significantly disrupted. Coastal kelp forests struggled to grow in the warm sea. In southern New Zealand, the temperature threshold was breached three times, resulting in substantial losses of kelp canopies. For the first time, Atlantic salmon had to be imported as farmed fish died in salmon farms in the Marlborough Sounds. Commercial fishers reported that snapper was spawning approximately six weeks early off the South Island coast.
October was the fifth warmest on record, and November temperatures were 0.9°C above average.

What Visitors Say About Hyde Park Sydney
Located at the northern end of Hyde Park, between Elizabeth street (St James station entrance) and the famous Archibald Fountain, Nagoya Gardens isn't hard to miss, especially due to the presence of a giant chess set. However, the signage of the garden is hidden inside so passers-by might not realise it's called Nagoya Garden. A giant chess set and a chess board was installed near the garden under a big fig tree for the public to play. I've seen lunch crowd on weekdays where office workers take respite in the park by playing a game or two. At times people would swing by to make a move and leave the next move to another person who stop by. The chess set also attracts some elderly men to make their moves and some were seen deep in thought, strategising their next move.

Electromyography or EMG is a diagnostic test that understands the physiological of muscles thereby assessing their health. Electromyography involves inserting a needle electrode through the skin into the muscle. This electorde detects electrical activity in the muscles and nerves controlling the muscles. A patient is asked to flex or contract the muscles so that the response of the muscle to the nerve stimuli is observed. An electromyograph is used to detect and measure electric potential that is generated by the contracting muscles. Other indicators to the proper functioning of the muscles and their corresponding nerves are the size, duration and frequency of electric signals received from them. EMG is often conducted along with a nerve conduction velocity test.
The EMG test is used to diagnose any possible weakness or impaired muscle strength due to neurological problems. Some discorders that can lead to abnormal readings on EMG test are cervical spondylosis, myasthenia gravis, carpal tunnel syndrome, myopathy, Brachial plexopathy, Guillain Barre syndrome, sciatic nerve dysfunction and mononueritis multiplex. EMG test aids in differentiating between a muscle and nerve disorder. The muscle may feel tender after the EMG test with localised bruising.
Nerve Conduction Study
A medical diagnostic tool used to evaluate the ability of the motor and sensory nerves for electrical conduction is the Nerve conduction study. Nerve conduction studies are performed by medical specialists in neurophysiology, physiatry and neurology with sub-specialization in electro diagnostic medicine. The common measurement made during this test is called Nerve conduction velocity or NCV. This is conducted to determine the damage and destruction caused to nerves.
The procedure is to stimulate the nerve with surface electrode patches attached to the skin. Two electrodes are placed on the skin over the nerve. One electrode stimulates the nerve with a mild electrical impulse. The resulting electrical activity is recorded by another electrode. This testing is repeated in about 2 - 3 places along the arms or legs. After the procedure, the nerve conduction speed is calculated by measuring the distance between electrodes and the time it takes for electrical impulses to travel between electrodes.
The nerve conduction velocity (speed) is then calculated by measuring the distance between electrodes and the time it takes for electrical impulses to travel between electrodes.
A related procedure that may be performed is electromyography (EMG). An EMG measures the electrical activity in muscles and is often performed at the same time as NCS. Both procedures help to detect the presence, location and extent of diseases that damage the nerves and muscles.
Prior to the procedure
This study does not require any fasting or sedation prior to the procedure. But body temperature must be maintained before and during the procedure as low body temperature slows nerve conduction. Keep the doctor informed in case of any medicine or herbal supplements you might be taking. You must stop using lotions or oils on your skin a few days before the procedure. Based on your medical condition, the doctor may request any other specific preparation.
During the procedure
A nerve conduction study is performed as an outpatient procedure although procedures may vary depending upon the condition and doctor's practices. The study is performed by a neurologist although a technologist may perform portions of the test. During the procedure, the patient is asked to remove any clothing, jewelry, hairpins, eyeglasses, hearing aids, or any other metal objects that may interfere with the procedure.
The patient is asked to either sit or lie down for the test. A recording electrode is attached to the skin over the nerve with a special paste. A stimulating electrode is placed at a known distance away from the recording electrode. The nerve is stimulated by a mild and brief electrical shock through the stimulating electrode. You might experience minor discomfort for a few seconds. The patient senses rapid tingling in the area. The stimulation of the nerve and the response are displayed on an oscilloscope.
What does the test results indicate?
Generally, the nerve conduction velocity would be around 50 to 60 meters per second. But it tends to vary from person to person and from one nerve to another.
The speed of the nerve conduction study is related to the diameter of the nerve and the degree of myelin sheath (which is a type of insulation) around the nerve. While a normally functioning nerve will transmit a stronger and faster signal, a damaged nerve will be slower. The larger the wire, the better the insulation and more consistent and stronger will be the signal.
If results are abnormal, they may be due to some sort of neuropathy or damage to the nerve resulting from a traumatic injury or nerve. Sometimes, other diseases may also cause the impulses to slow down. It could be due to conduction block that is an obstacle to the impulse within the nerve or due to demyelination or damage to the myelin sheath.
Why nerve conduction study?
Nerve conduction study is done along with EMG to differentiate a nerve disorder from a muscle disorder. While nerve conduction study detects whether the nerve has any problem, EMG detects whether a muscle is functioning properly in response to the nerve's stimulus. Whenever there is any neurologic injury or disorder, nerve conduction studies often combined with needle electromyography measure are used. This helps in identifying cause for any pain or weakness in the limbs from spinal nerve compression or injury.
Nerve conduction studies are used primarily for evaluation of numbness, tingling and burning or weakness of arms and legs depending upon the part of the body the symptom is present. Physical examination by the doctor and patient's history help to direct the investigation. A number of disorders are diagnosed by nerve conduction studies - carpal tunnel syndrome, Gullian-Barre syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, spinal disc herniation, ulnar neuropathy and others.
Risks of the procedure
Although the voltage of electrical pulses used in this study is quite low, there may be risks depending upon specific medical conditions. Certain factors such as damage to the spinal cord, severe pain before the test and body temperature may affect the test. In case you are using cardiac defibrillator or pacemaker, adequate precautions need to be taken.
When there is inflammation of the tendons on the outside of the elbow at the lateral epicondyle of the upper arm, the condition is known as tennis elbow. This condition is caused by certain repetitive movements of the wrist Tennis players are not the only people who are affected by this condition, which is also known as lateral epicondylitis. Activities like hedge clipping, tennis, excessive use of a screwdriver or hammer, painting or any such activity that involves repetitive motion of the wrist which also requires constant gripping may lead to tennis elbow. Though, the real cause of tennis elbow is not clearly defined, it is due to tears of the tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the bone of the arm at the elbow joint.
Symptoms of tennis elbow
Normally the pain due to tennis elbow sets in gradually, though at times it may also occur suddenly. Most patients complain of pain in the dominant arm. Manual workers like painters, plumbers, carpenters and gardeners who use their hands face the risk of developing this symptom. Many sports participants like racquet sports players, golfers, fencers are also prone to tennis elbow syndrome.
Tennis elbow is not simply caused by inflammation of the tendons alone, consider experts. The degenerative process either due to aging, or repetitive use of the forearm may also be responsible. If there is poor blood flow in that area, it does not heal completely and accessing nutrition and oxygen necessary for healing becomes difficult. This condition will lead to small tears in the tendon because of its degeneration and is revealed as symptoms of tennis elbow.
X-rays help to diagnose tennis elbow for patients who have the usual symptoms near their forearm. If the doctor has any confusion, an EMG is sometimes obtained to confirm the diagnosis of a tennis elbow. Pain over the outside of the elbow may sometimes occur due to instability of the joint, elbow arthritis and radial tunnel syndrome. Though the symptoms of these conditions are normally distinct, they can be confusing at times.
Even after the initial injury is healed, these areas tend to tear again. Hemorrhage will result because of this condition and there will be formation of rough, granulated tissue and calcium deposits within the surrounding tissues. Inflammation is caused due to leakage of collagen. The blood flow in this area is cut off because of the pressure developed due to inflammation. It can also squeeze the radial nerve that controls muscle in the arm and hand.
When your elbow is involved in any activity, always take care to warm up your arm for a few minutes before starting. Apply a pack of ice over the arm for 15 or 20 minutes, if you experience severe pain in that area after use. If the usual measures like rest, anti-inflammatory medications and stretching routine do not yield good results, then in rare cases surgery is considered. Tennis elbow can be prevented by:

Many dream of being a great math teacher and introducing the mother of all sciences to young students. Many would-be math teachers spend years in college and graduate school studying math and earning degrees. Others have fewer degrees but a deep understanding of mathematics and pedagogy of mathematics.
There are several approaches to becoming an online math teacher. It’s given that you must be good at math. Another foundational teaching skill is communication, particularly verbal communication.
If you are confused about the exact steps for becoming a math teacher, this article is for you.
Must-haves for every online mathematics teacher
Every online math teacher must have a few foundational skills. These include the ability to arouse interest, effective communication skills, understanding of children’s psychology, and proficiency in their respective subjects.
However, not everyone is good at every aspect of being a math teacher. Every person has certain weaknesses and that’s true for all teachers. Some have deep knowledge of their subject but lack teaching proficiency. It goes vice versa and in many ways. No matter what your weakness is, you need to work on it and bring it to an acceptable level.
Many teachers struggle in the field of communication. Interacting with learners is crucial, especially for math teachers. It’s the only way you can ensure that a class is moving at your pace. With practice, you can improve your public speaking skills, and that would reflect in your class interactions.
Communicating in online classes is a different ball game altogether. One of the most important skills in this regard is technical proficiency. You need to know more than the average person about the tools and technologies that make online classes possible. That will make sure your classes are never hindered by any technical issues.
Apart from these skills, it’s crucial to understand other people, no matter what their age. Human psychology is a part of pedagogy, and you must be well-versed in it.
How to be a math teacher
Every math teacher has a different journey. For the sake of simplification, here’s what the journey looks like for many math teachers:
- Have a college degree or some other academic degree in mathematics
- Start teaching in your own community among friends and families. This will help you understand whether you want to pursue teaching as a profession.
- Practice and hone your interpersonal communication skills
- Get a professional teaching degree from institutions like Teachers of Tomorrow
- Contact educational institutions, give interviews, demonstrate your skills, and get hired
It’s important to remember that not everyone has the same route to becoming a math teacher. When you first start thinking about how to be a math teacher, you might be at a completely different stage of life.
Many people switch to teaching after working for years in some other trade. On the other hand, some people know at a very young age that they want to grow up to be teachers. No matter what your situation is, anyone can be a teacher if they set their mind to it.
Career prospects for math teachers
Math is one of the core disciplines in school education. Along with language skills, mathematical proficiency is a key skill for advancing in every other profession. As technology becomes more and more commonplace, we would need more developers and programmers. Mathematics is indispensable for any advanced coding or programming. That makes math teachers all the more important.
Finding a job as a math teacher will not be difficult. The bigger challenge is to be good in your subject and also in teaching. Not everyone is naturally gifted in mathematics. It takes a lot of time and effort to make a student interested in mathematics and what it does. That’s where a great teacher outshines a good teacher.
There are several places where you can teach math and get paid. It can be different course specializations or general schools. You can also teach math at an advanced level if you have the proficiency and qualifications for it.
Online teaching vs offline teaching: What’s the difference?
Online teaching is different from offline teaching in many ways. The most fundamental difference is that you are not physically present in a classroom in online classes. That makes it much more crucial to master communication skills.
If you are teaching a class online, you must be able to hold their attention. Doing this in a physical classroom is somewhat easier compared to doing it over computer and smartphone screens.
Online education requires teachers to know specific skills. If you want to be a teacher in 2022, it’s essential to be good at online teaching.
We hope this guide helps everyone who wants to pursue the career of a math teacher. Once you have figured out how to be a math teacher, stick to your plan, and you’ll surely reach the destination.

Clinical features of malaria. identified on the human endothelium and on Biochanin A (4-Methylgenistein) uninfected erythrocytes (4, 5, 6, 8, 19, 26). A linkage between rosetting and other major adhesive phenotypes has been uncovered with an in vitro-cloned parasite (FCR3S1.2) where the pRBC were found to bind to multiple endothelial and erythrocyte receptors (12, 26). Similarly, the parasite strain ITG was found to adhere in a synergistic fashion to CD36 and ICAM-1 when the latter receptor was available together with CD36 (17). Taken together, these findings have led us to examine the pRBC of 111 fresh clinical isolates of children with malaria for a number of adhesive features in order to study their possible coexpression and association with the severity of the disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study area. The study was carried out at Kilifi District Hospital and adjacent dispensaries, situated 60 km north of Mombasa on the Kenyan coast. The hospital is equipped with a high-dependency ward to treat children with life-threatening illnesses. However, most children admitted to hospital are treated in the general pediatric ward. Following the long and short rains, the area has prolonged seasonal transmission of by sensu lato complex (16). Collection and culture of clinical isolates. Parasite samples were collected between December 1998 and February 1999 and between June and August 2000 from children with a primary diagnosis of malaria attending or admitted to Kilifi District Biochanin A (4-Methylgenistein) Hospital or adjacent dispensaries. The samples were collected at admission, before antimalarial treatment Biochanin A (4-Methylgenistein) was started. An algorithm for taking and processing patient blood was developed so that the origin of the sample remained unknown until the study was completed. For this study, hospitalized children were defined as severe cases non ultra descriptus (NUD) if they were found to be prostrated or hyperparasitemic ( 20%) but did not meet the criteria of severe anemia or cerebral malaria. Others suffered from severe anemia (hemoglobin concentration of 5 g/dl) or had cerebral malaria (defined as a Blantyre coma score of 2 or as being comatose with simultaneous inability to localize a painful stimulus). Cases were considered nonsevere if patients were judged by the examining clinician as having uncomplicated Rabbit Polyclonal to RBM34 disease not meeting any of the above criteria. Patients with nonsevere cases were recruited from the hospital general pediatric ward, the outpatient clinic, and dispensaries in the Kilifi area. The mean age of patients with mild malaria was 3.5 years, and that of the group with severe malaria was 3.9 years. After clinical judgment, the patients enrolled in the study could be divided into two groups: one with severe malaria, comprising 55 individuals, and one with mild malaria, comprising 56 children (Table ?(Table1).1). For inclusion, parasitemia of 4% or more was required. After parental consent had been obtained, 2 to 5 ml of blood was taken into a tube containing heparin (Leo Laboratories). Parasites were prepared from acute samples as follows. To remove mononuclear cells, the cell pellet was resuspended in 1 volume of RPMI Biochanin A (4-Methylgenistein) 1640 (pH 7.2; containing 25 g of gentamicin sulfate/ml, 1 mM glutamine, and 4 mg of d-glucose/ml [Gibco BRL]) and layered onto a cushion of Lymphoprep (Nycomed). Following centrifugation at 3,000 for 10 min, the cell pellet was washed in RPMI 1640. To remove granulocytes, cells were mixed with 4 volumes of 70% Plasmagel (Bellon) diluted in RPMI 1640, and the erythrocytes were allowed to settle for 15 min at 37C. Following a wash in RPMI 1640, the erythrocytes were cultured in RPMI 1640 in the presence of 10% European, malaria-na?ve AB positive serum until they matured into pigmented trophozoites (25). TABLE 1 Classification of the different severity groups = 0.85, 0.72, and 0.70 respectively. Rosetting was detected in 84% of isolates (93 of 111; range, 0 to 93%; mean, 17.1%), and giant rosetting was detected in 55% (61 of 111; range, 0 to 78%; mean, 5%).

All the other parameters showed correlation coefficients (values are from the Mann-Whitney U test.? bsIg, soluble immunoglobulin.? Multiadhesion and severity. When we analyzed the adhesion data, it became apparent that binding to several receptors was more frequent in the severe group than in the mild group. As an example, six of the isolates from the severe group (isolates 11, 14, 35, 38, 41, and 62) bound strongly to all of the receptors studied. Collected data were analyzed in such a way as to.

A bouquets sweet scent fills a room and the birds love the seed heads in winter garden. Echinacea is reputed to increase the bodies resistance to infection and colds. Scented, deer resistant,drought tolerant and attracts beneficial insects. Striking purple daisy like flowers with orange and golden brown central cones. A very frost hardy plant that likes full sun and fertile soil and will provide abundant cut-flowers once established. Deer resistant once established.
Sow 2 mm deep.Germination is 7 to 21 days. Sometimes Echinacea appreciates a damp cold period to break dormancy, but we refrigerate all of our seed that requires this type if stratification.
Echinacea does best in a sunny position with loamy, well-drained soil. Ehcinacea will tolerate some shade,is drought tolerant and deer resitant.It can be grown in cooler climates in pots or in a micro-climate that provides warmth and shelter. (eg:) Against the south wall of your house.Urban areas may be a FULL Hardiness Zone warmer than rural areas just a few miles away. Urban areas tend to have less extreme low temperatures than the surrounding countryside. Buildings and paved surfaces absorb heat during the day, then radiate it back into the air at night, reducing the chances of frost and moderating low temperatures during winter. Buildings also offer protection from wind in many places.
Echinacea is a popular, long lived perennial plant native to North America. 14 different Native Amercican tribes were said to have used this plant for many of their healing rituals. Echinacea purpurea is the most commonly used for medicinal purposes, due to an error made by Dr. Gerhard Madaus a medicine manufacturer, who came to America to collect the species Echinacea angustifolia, but brought the seeds purpurea by mistake.
The American Natives are credited for the discovery of the part of the plant the proved to be beneficial in medicinal applications. Echinacea has antiseptic properties useful in boosting the immune system and purifying the blood. Excellent as a herbal tea during cold and flu season.However,people suffering from autoimmmune diseases are advised against taking echinacea internally. Echinacea remedies should not be take for more than eight weeks at a time.Echinacea can be used externally for to aid in healing inflamed skin or assist wounds that are not healing correctly.

A brief history of Montessori in Spain
The educational efforts of Dr Montessori, during the first years of the 20th century in Italy, attracted attention from around the world. From that moment, the demand for specific training by Italian teachers who wanted to apply her method kept increasing, until 1909 when Dr Montessori conducted the first training course for Italian teachers. With the publication of her book 'Scientific Pedagogy as Applied to Child Education', word of her method also became widespread outside Italy.
The first international training course took place in Rome in 1913 and brought together teachers from the United States, Australia and also from Catalonia. Six years later, Dr Montessori visited England to give a training course, which was reported in the English newspaper, The Daily News: "Dr Montessori, famous for being a pioneer in child education, has arrived in London to give a training course to British teachers. Although the course is limited to two hundred-fifty places, there have been more than two thousand applications." From this time on, Dr Montessori ran courses in countries such as Austria, Germany, Holland, Spain and Italy.
This moment coincided with the rise to power of Benito Mussolini and due to problems with 'il Duce', Dr Montessori was obliged to leave Italy and resume her educational work in Barcelona, where the Montessori Method had already been introduced in schools and educational centres for a number of years. Montessori schools were opened in the Catalan capital which went hand-in-hand with all the Active Pedagogy that was taking centre stage at that time. With the arrival of the Civil war and the dictatorship, Dr Montessori went to Holland, but the educational centres in Spain managed to survive a little longer, leaving a significant mark on education in Catalonia.
Regarding the monitoring and consolidation of the Montessori teaching method, it is important to highlight a key moment in her career, when in 1929 she created the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) to organise her work and ensure that her methodology was maintained in accordance with the pedagogical and philosophical guidelines.
In terms of the spread of the educational method in Spain, a pedagogical renewal movement began in 1973 with a particular regard to the Montessori methodology. From this point, the Asociación Montessori Española (Spanish Montessori Association, AME) was founded in Madrid, which was responsible for delivering training courses, some of them at the university. This association promoted the opening of Montessori schools, but due to lack of teacher training, the educational method was abandoned. There followed a long hiatus in the application of the method in Spain. Despite this, the interest in Montessori pedagogy continued to grow and teachers opted to go abroad to train, following the guidelines set out by the AMI, then the only official institution for training teachers.
The history of Montessori pedagogy in Spain underwent a key moment in 1997-98, when the Montessori Palau Girona School decided to implement the method in accordance with the AMA guidelines, becoming the first school to implement Dr Montessori’s method in Spain. It was from this point that the transformation of a traditional school into a Montessori school began, with the Infant and Primary teaching staff trained by the AMI.
From 2008 onwards, the idea of bringing together all the people linked to the Montessori project in Spain was reborn and the Spanish Montessori Association was promoted once again, recovering its original mission and sharing its strategic objectives with the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI). Finally, in 2013, it was officially recognised by the AMI and it became linked to this international organisation.
Currently, Montessori Pedagogy is experiencing a period of exponential growth, both with the number of newly created centres that apply the Montessori method, and by the large number of teachers who have decided to train in the philosophy of Dr Montessori.

After this new study , we must also talk about a new forest atlas and it answers the question of how many trees are there in the world. and fortunately, there are more trees than previously thought, a total of 1,327 million hectares . Thanks to new counting techniques that use technologies that allow the planet to be tracked from satellites The figure, re-estimated by a study published in the journal Science, raises the planet’s wooded area by 9 percent and the existing one by almost 50 percent in the arid lands.
New technologies that allow you to fine tune
The study, carried out by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), has had the participation of more than two hundred researchers from different organizations.
The large and qualified participation being important , what is really distinctive has been the possibility of having the aforementioned high resolution images, collected by satellites of the DigitalGlobe company, used by Google Maps, among other search engines.
This new technology marks a before and after for our purpose, since it has sensors that have a resolution of 25 centimeters, greatly facilitating analysis. Or, more properly, making it possible with the use of Collect Earth. A hitherto unprecedented opportunity, which FAO has not hesitated to take advantage of.
Collect Earth is a tool that allows you to collect data through Google Earth, in order to then be able to analyze high-resolution satellite images for different purposes. This is how it has been possible to collect specific data, this time conducting regional forest inventories on lands that have been poorly inventoried up to now.
Specifically, arid lands , with the intention of improving the understanding of the elements present in them in order to deepen the knowledge of the resources that are available as well as to know what environmental protection needs exist.
The “Global Dryland Assessment” is actually a larger project, which also includes counting grasslands in drylands, using an assessment using Collect Earth to analyze more than 200,000 parcels around the world.
The objective of carrying out a global forest cover count (including forests, trees and grasslands) is achieved with a series of specific methodologies developed by FAO. As the study concludes, in 2015 there were 1,327 million hectares of arid climate biomes with a percentage of forest cover greater than 10 percent.
This data is important because it is the threshold used by FAO to use the forest name in an area of 5,000 square meters. But the main finding is the redefinition of the drylands forest map. In the words of Elena María Abraham, co-author of the study:
The important thing is that by identifying a larger area of dry forest , we are redrawing the map of arid lands. Faced with a scenario of climate change and desertification, in which arid lands are going to expand, it is essential to know the dry forests, the most important resource we have.
Finally, FAO has carried out this analysis within the framework of two complementary projects of the same organization, such as “Action Against Desertification” and “Global Forest Survey”, in whose implementation the It has the collaboration of a network of governments, NGOs and academic institutions, among other collaborators.
Or, what is the same, beyond the good news of having a larger forest mass, the study has a practical purpose that seeks development in regions that, in general, have scarce resources.
Until now, they had ignored a tree that as a whole would occupy 467 million hectares or, what is the same, as many trees as those that make up the Amazon rainforest. With this, the global tree cover amounts to 1,327 million hectares.
This update has been possible using high resolution aerial images that improve the results offered by satellites such as Sentinel or Landsat. Above all, it has been refined when counting in arid regions, where trees do not form forests that are easy to translate into trees and, in short, in a certain wooded area, measured in hectares.
In contrast, dry areas have the most scattered trees. As they are not continuous green areas, the count is more complicated. And, according to the new data, the numbers were seriously underestimated.
If we also take into account that almost half of the earth’s surface is characterized by this aridity, we have that the fewer number of trees found in this large space (specifically 41.5 percent of it) ends up adding a good number .
Although one could have an idea of this deficiency at the time of counting, there was not the necessary technology to remedy it and, therefore, the environmental implications that this entailed could not be known in a concrete way.
Now, things have changed and the arid regions have been reviewed, counting the trees that were previously outside. This is the largest review of these arid regions to date for this purpose.
“Using very high resolution images now means that each pixel in the satellite image can be much more specific and better detect the amount of forest”, explains Javier Gódar, researcher at the Stockholm Environmental Institute (SEI), who also makes emphasize the importance of continuing to apply this technology for monitoring that enables follow-up. In this way, logically, more reliable data could be obtained from both reforestation and deforestation processes in these forgotten areas.

You can integrate Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) in just about everything, nowadays — cybersecurity is no exception.
In fact, when you include AI into your cybersecurity measures, such as penetration testing, for example, you’ll find that your network becomes even more robust.
To give you a better perspective of what AI can do for your penetration testing, allow me to share with you several points about the subject matter.
However, before that, let’s start with the basics.
What is penetration testing, anyway?
Penetration testing (pen testing for short) is the process of testing networks, systems, or web and mobile applications, among others, for cybersecurity purposes.
You subject your IT ecosystem to “pretend hacks,” so you would know how strong or weak your cyber defences are. You can also find effective ways to bolster them.
Pen tests are conducted to check for loopholes and vulnerabilities that cybercriminals can hijack and exploit for profit or some other ill motive.
Besides assessing your defences, penetration tests let you review your cybersecurity policies, risk management and data recovery plans, employee training, compliance with cybersecurity laws, IT budget, and more.
Penetration testing is also known as ethical hacking or white-hat hacking since the pen testers are cybersecurity experts or the “good guys” attempting to breach your defences.
They can do so virtually or physically going to your office. After completing the test, the experts report to you their findings and recommend remedial actions.
Pen testing can be done by humans or — you guessed it — AI.
Advantages of AI Pen Testing
AI offers several advantages when experts apply it in pen-testing.
While automation is an AI capability threatening humanity — or so people fear — AI streamlines pen-testing activities across your entire IT landscape, including your data.
By automating some steps in pen testing, AI generates accurate feedback in a shorter amount of time — and accuracy in pen testing is exceptionally vital.
AI helps eliminate possible human errors in the process, such as data misinterpretation, evidence management, and correct documentation of results.
However, even if pen testers don’t make these mistakes, the operation becomes challenging when done at scale.
Pen testing requires substantial amounts of time, effort, and other resources when testing software and programs.
Given the rapid evolution of present-day processes, though, sustaining efficiency in pen testing at scale is harder without the help of AI.
AI in Pen Testing
Pen test commonly begins with information gathering and ends with reporting the findings. In between are phases where pen testers handle truckloads of information, scans, and others.
That said, let’s look at how AI can enhance various phases of pen testing.
Reconnaissance, also known as Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) gathering, is the most crucial phase in pen testing.
It is where pen testers collect as much relevant information as they can about your company and potential entry points for threats.
Here, pen testers can work with AI to automate info collection and yield accurate results.
They also apply a combination of AI and its subsets like natural language processing and computer vision.
AI is useful in extracting information and building a profile of your company, employees, current cybersecurity condition, and other components of your IT landscape.
Pen testers also employ AI to go through an expansive list of critical information you hold and assess its susceptibility to being stolen.
This info ranges from names, contact numbers and addresses, account credentials to financial figures of your company, executives, employees, and customers.
If you have a dropshipping business, for example, AI can even review your customers’ names, contact details, credit card numbers, and other details you may collect from them.
That is why one of the frequent dropshipping questions relates to its legality and customer safety.
As a dropshipping business (or any other kind for that matter), you must be careful with the type of information you gather from your shoppers.
Hackers can exploit them if they are easily accessible, and AI will assist pen testers in uncovering vulnerabilities in your stored information.
Extensive coverage is crucial in scanning — and in such a phase, manually scanning hundreds or thousands of systems won’t do.
Interpreting results presented to you by the scanning tools aren’t ideal either.
However, pen testers can employ AI to modify the code of the scanning tools so that they examine systems and interpret results.
Doing that shortens the time pen testers spend on scanning numerous systems and return of feedback.
Besides that, AI can turn its attention to managing tests and creating test cases, which automatically reviews if specific programs can be identified as having security glitches.
Pen testers may also use AI to inspect how your systems respond to break-ins.
Gaining and Preserving Entry
The gaining entry phase entails taking over one or more network devices for either of these purposes: obtain data from you, or manipulate the device to invade other targets.
After your IT landscape has been scanned for vulnerabilities, pen testers must guarantee your systems have no entry points for cyber attacks.
They must verify that your network devices are guarded by robust passwords, usernames, and other credentials.
Cybercriminals, after all, can manipulate any Internet-connected network device.
They can even hack your smart coffee maker, for instance, and other WiFi-enabled appliances that have no passwords.
AI-powered algorithms can, hence, test various password combinations to know if your systems and gadgets are susceptible to breaches.
Pen testers can also train AI to study user data, recognize patterns and trends, and infer possible passphrases used.
On the other hand, the maintaining entry phase concentrates on organizing other access points for your networks.
Pen testers, in this phase, trigger tools and verify your cybersecurity when invading your network.
They must run AI-powered algorithms at even intervals to make sure that the main paths to your device are closed.
AI must then be able to find and reveal backdoors, encrypted channels, new administrator accounts and access channels, and more.
Track Covering and Reporting
This last phase analyzes if a cyber hijacker can eradicate all evidence of his attack.
These hijackers often leave traces in present access channels, user logs, and error messages due to the intrusion.
AI-based tools can help unearth concealed backdoors and multiple entry points still unopened on the target network.
AI also assists in developing metrics, locating network infrastructure, and reporting their findings.
Penetration testing is an essential cybersecurity mechanism for businesses to take. The larger your business is, the more you need to do it, and the more AI can assist in the process.
With AI, penetration testing becomes simpler to perform regularly and at scale. AI streamlines the process, eradicates human errors, and achieves accuracy.
As pen testers embrace AI’s capabilities, they will see AI prove itself to be indispensable in the operation and securing your business from cyber threats.

The white B704 elliptical / oval pill is a type of Xanax that has been identified as containing 0.25 mg Alprazolam and supplied by Breckenridge Pharmaceutical, Inc. Alprazolam is used to treat anxiety and panic disorders. It belongs to a class of medications called benzodiazepines which act on the brain and nerves (central nervous system) to produce a calming effect. It works by enhancing the effects of a certain natural chemical in the body (GABA).
What are the effects and risks of White B704 Pills?
White B704 pills, like other prescription tranquilizers, is intended to slow normal brain activity and function, which may result in slowed breathing (i.e., respiratory depression), slurred speech, dilated pupils, disorientation, fatigue and decreased coordination. In high dosages, B704 pills can cause impaired memory, judgment, and coordination, irritability, paranoia, and thoughts of suicide. Some people can become agitated or aggressive.
Repeated use of white Xanax bars can lead to dependence, which can result in withdrawal symptoms when use is reduced or stopped. Talk to a medical professional to develop a safe strategy for reducing use. Tolerance to Xanax can develop quickly, causing an individual to consume higher dosages to achieve the same result, increasing the risk of harming themselves. This includes the potential for overdose, particularly when taken with other depressants such as alcohol, benzodiazepines and/or opioids (i.e., fentanyl, heroin, and morphine).

Warnings on White B704 Pills
The FDA warns that there are serious risks associated with using B704 Xanax or other benzodiazepines at the same time as opioid analgesics, like oxycodone and hydrocodone, among others, or with opioid-containing cough products. Taking opioids and benzodiazepines together can result in extreme sleepiness, slowed or difficult breathing, coma, or death.
You should talk to your doctor about alternative treatments as well as the serious risks involved before taking opioids and benzodiazepines like Xanax together.
- Do not take Xanax if you’re allergic to alprazolam, any of the inactive ingredients in the medication, or others
- benzodiazepines, like Librium, Tranxene, Valium, Ativan, Serax, and others.
- Do not take Xanax if you have acute narrow-angle glaucoma.
- Do not take Xanax if you’re taking the antifungal drugs Sporanox (itraconazole) or Nizoral (ketoconazole).
White Xanax 704 pill can make you drowsy and decrease your ability to drive safely or operate machinery. You may become particularly sleepy if Xanax is taken with other drugs that cause drowsiness, or if you’re elderly or debilitated.
B704 Xanax may be habit-forming, so do not take higher doses of the medication or use it for a longer time than your doctor recommends.
Before taking B704 white Xanax, tell your doctor if you have:
- Suicidal thoughts
- Asthma or other breathing problems
- History of alcoholism or drug abuse
- Liver or kidney problems
- Epilepsy or a history of seizures
Tell your doctor what other prescription and nonprescription drugs, vitamins, and nutritional supplements you take, because these may interact with Xanax. Also, tell your doctor if you smoke.
Talk to your doctor if you have symptoms of your condition between doses. Do not increase the dose without talking to your doctor first, even if you think the medication doesn’t work anymore. Read 44 175 White Pill: Everything You Should Know
The White B704 Pills ‘High’ and Addiction
White Xanax 704 and other benzodiazepines are among the most widely abused drugs available today. Xanax is often abused for the fast-acting, relaxed “high” it can give to people who take it, including people without a prescription.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), benzodiazepines like Xanax were responsible for most of the emergency-room visits attributed to central nervous system depressants in 2009.
Long-term abuse and addiction to Xanax 704 is associated with depression, psychotic experiences, and aggressive or impulsive behavior, according to the Coalition Against Drug Abuse.
Pregnancy and White B704 Pills
White B704 Pills can harm a developing fetus. Before taking Xanax, tell your doctor if you’re pregnant. Drugs like Xanax may cause birth defects, particularly if taken during the first trimester of pregnancy. Taking it later in pregnancy may have other harmful effects on your baby, too.
Xanax is not safe to use while breast-feeding, either. Tell your doctor if you’re breast-feeding before taking Xanax, because taking the medication while nursing can cause harmful side effects to the nursing baby. It is also important to note that Xanax has not been proven safe or effective in children under 18.
Do not stop taking White Xanax pills without talking to your doctor. Stopping the drug abruptly can make the condition worse. This is typical of many benzodiazepine drugs, including Ativan, Librium, Valium, and others.
White Xanax withdrawal symptoms can include:
- Suicidal thoughts or actions
- Trouble sleeping
- Blurred vision
Withdrawal from Xanax should be done under the supervision of a doctor, who will probably reduce your dosage gradually to prevent withdrawal symptoms.
Alcohol and White Xanax
Do not drink alcohol while taking Xanax. Alcohol can worsen white Xanax side effects, such as drowsiness, confusion, and unsteadiness. Talk to your doctor before drinking alcohol while on Xanax.
Side Effects of White 704 Pills
Call your doctor right away if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction to Xanax:
- Trouble breathing
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat
Common side effects of Xanax are:
- Impaired coordination
- Slurred speech
- Memory problems
Most side effects with Xanax happen when first starting the medication and these usually go away. Still, you should talk to doctor about any side effects you have, particularly if they are severe or don’t go away.
Know the signs of an overdose.
People having a drug overdose may have one or more of the following signs:
- The person is “nodding off”, won’t wake up easily, or is unresponsive
- Person is breathing very slowly or not at all
- Lips and fingernails are white
- Skin is cold and clammy
- Body is limp
- Person may be snoring or gurgling
- Person may be choking or throwing-up
- Pupils are dilated (Xanax) – Pupils are tiny (Opioids)
- A slow heart rate
All signs of an overdose should be treated as a medical emergency.
How to Spot Fake White Xanax Bars B704
A legitimate form of Xanax would be pills obtained through a direct prescription, used by the individual they are prescribed for. An illicit stream of unregulated Xanax, “fake Xanax” is chemically produced to resemble prescribed Xanax and it may be difficult to distinguish from a legitimate pill. This poses significant risk to the person, as the effects of the fake pill may vary from pill to pill, including the dosage, interactions with other drugs, and may contain fentanyl or other opiates which can cause serious and life-threatening conditions. Other forms of illicit Xanax are pills diverted from another person’s prescription.
Fake Xanax is not safe at all. Moreover, it has been manufactured to seem similar to the original. People may buy fake yellow Xanax Bars, fake green Xanax bars, fake white Xanax bars, and other types of fake Alprazolam on the street because it can be easier and cheaper to obtain.
The reason why fake Alprazolam is so dangerous is that it often contains an ingredient called Fentanyl. Fentanyl is an opioid which is 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine.
Signs of taking a fake counterfeit Alprazolam bar include:
- Woman overdosing from counterfeit Xanax pills Limp body
- Labored, shallow, or difficulty breathing
- Lips, fingers, or face turning white
- Clammy skin
- Pinpoint pupils
- Death rattle (labored exhale that may resemble snoring)
The Effects and the Dangers of Fentanyl Use
Fentanyl is a hazardous opioid drug. As little as two milligrams is a lethal dose for the average person. People who use Fentanyl can experience all of the following issues:
- Fatal overdose
- Respiratory depression
- Respiratory arrest
Deaths caused by fentanyl use are widespread because the drug is so powerful and is so frequently used to lace street drugs. This is why fake Xanax dangers are genuine. Fake Xanax effects do not always include death, but they frequently do. Counterfeit Xanax bars cause other side effects too that can result in permanent damage. Essentially, Fentanyl is an incredibly dangerous drug, and the fact that it is used in fake Alprazolam bars makes fake Alprazolam extremely dangerous as well. Fake Alprazolam should be avoided to prevent serious injury or death.
How to Avoid the Fake B704?
The best and most obvious way to avoid fake Xanax bars is only to take Xanax that has been prescribed by a physician, and that is purchased from a licensed pharmacy. If one buys anything on the street that is claimed to be Alprazolam, it could easily be a counterfeit from a b704 pill press. This means that there is a perfect chance that it could be laced with Fentanyl and could potentially kill.
There is no way to know with one hundred percent certainty that a drug bought on the street is real. So, when it comes to trying to purchase real vs. fake Xanax, the only way to do this is never buying drugs on the street. Even if Alprazolam is bought with a prescription, a dangerous addiction still may develop. So, the best route to take is to avoid Xanax altogether if possible. READ: How To Spot B704 Fake

The association of vitiligo with inflammation of the uveal tract is well established. The relationship between vitiligo and hypopigmentation and/or degeneration of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) not secondary to ocular inflammation has not been adequately investigated. Sixty (27%) of 223 consecutive patients with vitiligo were found to have some evidence of RPE phypopigmentation ranging from mild, focal areas of involvement in most cases to extensive RPE degeneration with a retinitis pigmentosa-like syndrome in one patient. Fifteen (25%) patients complained of night blindness. Only 6 (4%) of 148 patients in a control group had similar fundoscopic findings (p<0.001). None of these patients were symptomatic. There have been isolated reports of vitiligo occurring with tapetoretinal degeneration. We report 2 patients with both vitiligo and retinitis pigmentosa.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently released guidance that gives states a powerful new tool that will prevent millions of people from losing Medicaid. The tool will also help states cope with overwhelming administrative burdens and strengthen Medicaid’s program integrity. Specifically, when Medicaid redeterminations begin after the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE), states are allowed to automatically renew Medicaid eligibility for beneficiaries under age 65 who receive assistance from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Nearly all SNAP participants qualify for Medicaid, which is why this new option makes so much sense. To achieve the greatest possible efficiency gains, states should immediately begin developing automated systems to identify beneficiaries who participate in SNAP and renew them electronically.
Medicaid beneficiaries are likely to experience huge coverage losses when their eligibility is redetermined after the PHE ends. In this brief, we show how SNAP-based auto-renewal can:
- Preserve Medicaid for roughly half of all beneficiaries, extending especially significant protection to many families of color and white children in rural areas.
- Greatly lower administrative burdens facing often understaffed state and local agencies that are now facing the largest number of redeterminations in Medicaid program history.
- Strengthen program integrity by preventing eligible people from being terminated because of missing paperwork and by protecting states from unwarranted findings of payment error.

A teen pilot from McLean, Virginia, is helping hospitals local hospitals by flying out medical supplies to frontline healthcare workers who need them to battle the COVID-19 pandemic.
TJ Kim, a 16-year-old sophomore at Landon School in Bethesda, Maryland, was brainstorming with his family on how to best serve his community. They eventually came up with Operation SOS – Supplies Over Skies, according to Associated Press.
Kim made his first delivery on March 27 to a 25-bed hospital in Luray. He was taken aback by its reception.
“They kind of conveyed to me that they were really forgotten about. Everyone was wanting to send donations to big city hospitals,” he told AP. “Every hospital is hurting for supplies, but it’s the rural hospitals that really feel forgotten.”
Kim’s goal was to deliver supplies to all seven rural hospitals in Virginia, which were defined as critical access hospitals. However, the flights will become progressively longer and if everything goes according to plan, Kim’s final flight will take him to Clintwood in far southwest Virginia.
Kim’s recent flight to Winchester to help supply a hospital in nearby Woodstock contained 3,000 gloves, 1,000 protective head covers, 500 shoe covers, 50 non-surgical masks, 20 pairs of protective eyewear and 10 concentrated bottles of hand sanitizer.
Dave Powell, the teen’s flight instructor, was blown away when Kim proposed the project, especially since he knew how disappointed and disheartened the student was with the cancellation of the lacrosse season.
“For TJ to be more concerned with the needs of others in his melancholy state just reiterated to me how amazing this young man is,” Powell said.
Kim fell in love with flying when his father, Thomas, bought him a flying lesson for his 15th birthday. His father is also helping him round up the supplies, which is the most difficult part of the operation, according to Kim.
“After I landed, all I could think about was going back up,” said the teen, who plans to attend the Naval Academy to become a pilot. “It’s a lot more free. When you’re driving, you have to be in your lane, watch your blind spot and everything.”
Thomas told AP he was glad to see his teenage son channel his disappointment into something positive, “something that combines serving the community and his love of flying.”
“The stars really aligned here,” he added.

Opened in the 1920’s by a family of German immigrants, Garner State Park’s beautiful river and views of the canyons made it the perfect camping location. Today the park is as popular as ever with many visitors choosing the park for their camping destination. With plenty of cabins and campgrounds as well as activities suitable for adults and children alike, this park is perfect for your family vacation. Unsure if your children will enjoy what it has to offer? Here are 5 super fun things to do with your kid at Garner State Park.
Who doesn’t enjoy a good scavenger hunt from time to time? Geocaching is scavenger hunting, treasure hunting, and hiking all in one. Armed with a GPS location device, you input the coordinates of a suspected geocache site and set off on foot to find it. This allows plenty of time to hike through the natural beauty of the park and explore. Once you get close you must look under bushes, rocks, or into holes carved in trees, etc for the hidden “treasure” or geocache. It is a huge hit with kids.
There is no shortage of options for those kids who love to swim. Take them to a watering hole to swim in the fresh and cool waters of the river or challenge them to take a turn hurling themselves into the water using a rope swing.
There are plenty of trails to explore and get lost in. Your kids will enjoy hiking riverside or climbing in elevation up and through the canyon trails. Make sure to bring supplies and plenty of water to stay hydrated during your excursions. Depending on the age of your children you will want to pick out a suitable hiking distance accordingly.
The are plenty of camping sites to choose from. Most have electric hook-ups so you can camp in a more modern style complete with a few luxuries to keep you comfortable and entertained. There are also fire pits, grills, and picnic tables so you can host a large feast or a get together at your campsite. Sing and play music around the fire or make s’mores to keep the kids happy and laughing.
5. Rent a cabin
The next step up from camping is staying in screened in shelters that provide many of the same hook ups as camping such as covered picnic tables, electricity, access to running water, and a fire pit. However, if you would like to stay in a cabin, there are plenty to choose from. They offer a home away from home feel with amenities such as kitchens with appliances, central air, bedrooms and bathrooms, and fireplaces.
Garner State Park offers everything you need for a fun and natural family vacation. Take your kids and dive into many of the fun activities offered.

Emergency treatment during construction
During the construction, if you encounter the following special circumstances, you should keep calm and take appropriate emergency measures.
1. Sudden power outage during construction
When there is a sudden power outage during construction, the power switch of the electric box should be cut off immediately to prevent accidents during power transmission. After receiving the call notification, the power switch is turned on and the work starts after the check is normal.
If you need to return to the ground after power failure, you should lift the manual downhill handle of the hoist at both ends to allow the suspension platform to slide freely to the ground.
2. The suspension platform cannot be stopped after releasing the button during the lifting and lowering process.
When the suspension platform cannot be stopped after releasing the button during the lifting and lowering process, immediately press the red emergency switch on the electric box door to make the suspension platform stop urgently. Then cut off the power switch of the electric box, check the contact condition of the contactor, clean the grease dirt on the surface of the contactor, and after the contactor can resume normal operation, close the power switch and use the manual sliding down method to lower the suspension platform to the ground for maintenance.
3, the suspension platform should be horizontally inclined and automatically lock the rope
When the suspension platform slides down during the ascending and descending process or one end slides to a certain extent, the safety lock automatically locks the rope. At this time, stop immediately, then turn the transfer switch on the electric box to the lower end of the platform, and then press the up button. The lower end of the suspension platform is raised to the recovery horizontal position. After the safety lock automatically resumes the unlocking state, the suspension platform is lowered to the ground, and the electromagnetic brake gaps at both ends are checked and adjusted to meet the requirements; or the difference in the rotational speed between the two ends is checked, if the difference is obvious Should be replaced with a motor.
4, lift the machine card wire rope
The working wire rope is jammed in the hoist due to loose strands, kinks or hoisting machine parts. The construction personnel in the suspension platform are evacuated while ensuring safety, and professionally trained maintenance personnel are dispatched to the suspension platform for maintenance. First, the safety wire rope is wound on the hoisting frame of the two ends, and the two ends of the safety wire rope are fastened with a rope buckle. Then loosen the protective ring of the swing arm of the safety lock at both ends to disengage the working wire rope from the roller, so that the safety locks at both ends are in the state of the lock rope. After taking the above safety measures, remove the hoist inspection and exit the wire rope of the jam. If necessary, cut off the palm wire and open the lifting cover to check and carefully remove the wire rope left in the hoist. At the same time, replace the new wire rope in the corresponding position of the suspension mechanism, put the wire rope back down and put it into the hoist to tighten the wire rope, then put the working wire rope into the safety lock swing wheel groove and install the protection ring. After the safety lock is opened, the suspension platform is lifted by about 0.5 m to stop, the rope buckle on the safety wire rope is removed and the safety wire rope is placed in the vertical position, and then the suspension platform is lowered to the ground, and after rigorous inspection and maintenance by the hoist , the party is allowed to continue to use.
5. When the working wire rope breaks
When the working wire rope breaks at one end of the suspension platform, the suspension platform is tilted, and the safety lock automatically closes when the working position is tilted, and the suspension platform is locked in the safety wire rope. At this time, the construction personnel in the suspension platform should remain calm, and it is strictly forbidden to run and jump in the suspension platform, and handle the emergency measures when the respective wire ropes are stuck in the elevator.
Installation, adjustment and precautions for the suspension mechanism
1. When installing the ground, the horizontal plane should be selected. When there is a slope, it should be reliably leveled under the angle wheel. If the installation surface is waterproof and insulated, it should be padded 2.5~3 cm thick under the front and rear seats to prevent crushing. Waterproof insulation level.
2. The height of the adjustable support bracket should be such that the lower side of the front beam is slightly higher than the height of the parapet (or other obstacles). If possible, after the suspension mechanism is positioned, the lower side of the front beam is extended. The daughter's wall is fixed with wooden blocks.
3. The rated extension range of the overhanging end of the front beam is 0.3~1.5 meters. When the rated overhang is exceeded, reliable reinforcement measures and rated working loads must be taken and confirmed by the responsible department before use.
4. The distance between the front and rear seats should be adjusted to the maximum distance as far as possible under the conditions of the site.
5. The distance between the two brackets should be adjusted to a distance of 3 to 5 cm less than the length of the suspension platform.
6. When tightening the steel wire rope, the front beam should be slightly upturned by 3~5 cm to produce prestress and improve the rigidity of the front beam.
7. When the wire rope is clamped, the number of rope clamps is not less than three, and the U-shaped opening and the tail end of the steel wire rope are opposite to each other, and the directions are the same. The rope clamps shall be clamped in order from the lifting point, and between the last rope clamp and the previous rope clamp, the rope shall be slightly arched. When the rope clamp nut is tightened, the wire rope should be flattened to 1/2 to 1/3 diameter.
8. When laying the wire rope, the wire rope free disk should be placed on the floor. The rope head should be carefully pulled out and then slowly slide down along the front. It is strictly forbidden to throw the wire rope down into the disk. After the wire rope is finished, the entangled rope should be carefully pressed separately. The excess wire rope on the ground should be carefully packed tightly, and the ground should not be arbitrarily scattered.
Major component scrapping standards
Suspended Working Platform main force attachments: When the suspension mechanism or suspension platform appears as follows, it should be scrapped.
1. After the overall instability, it must not be repaired and must be scrapped.
2. When permanent deformation is generated and cannot be repaired, it must be scrapped.
3. When some components are permanently deformed and cannot be repaired and the surface corrosion or wear depth exceeds 10% of the original component, the corresponding components should be scrapped.
4. When cracks occur in structural parts and welds, according to the stress situation and crack conditions, after repairing or taking reinforcement measures, the original design requirements can be met, and repairs must be taken to strengthen the measures before they can continue to be used. Otherwise, they should be scrapped.
What are the main safety facilities for the Suspended Working Platform equipment?
A. LSB swing arm type safety lock; can lock the safety wire rope when the working platform tilt angle is greater than 3-8° or the working wire rope is broken;
B. Manual release: It can be smoothly lowered when power supply is lost, such as power failure, to ensure that the operator reaches the ground safely;
C. Speed limit protection: when the descending speed exceeds the defined safe speed, the centrifugal deceleration device is activated to slow down the down speed;
D. Limit protection: automatically cut off the power supply when the basket equipment exceeds the manually set maximum limit, and activate the alarm bell;
E. Electrical overload protection: If the motor is abnormal or the circuit is abnormal and the motor is overloaded, disconnect the control circuit of the contactor to disconnect the main circuit.
F. Leakage protection: The operator automatically closes the total circuit when the operator accidentally charges the electric body and leaks;
G. Emergency stop: cut off the main control loop in case of sudden abnormality (such as automatic rise or fall).

Actor turned filmmaker Jeremy Gilley founded Peace One Day after realizing that there was no starting point for peace, no day of global unity, no day for intercultural cooperation, and no day for when humanity came together. Gilley felt that if we united as one then that might be the key to humanity’s survival. He started his advocacy for his Peace Day by writing letters to every state leader, their ambassadors, Nobel peace laureates, NGOs, faith based organizations, and other various organizations. Then in 1999 his dream of Peace One Day came true. In 1999 all the member states of the United Nations adopted the 21st of September as Peace Day. This day is recognized as an annual global ceasefire and non-violence day.
Jeremy Gilley’s Peace One Day is recognized every year, but unfortunately the day hasn’t gotten the full attention it deserves. Gilley was to make a statement with Kofi Annan on September 11, 2001 to advocate for his event, but because of the attack on the World Trade Center the statement never happened. However, the events on September 11, 2001 made Gilley work even harder. He was even more empowered and inspired to move forward with Peace One Day. This led to Gilley, along with actor Jude Law, to start work for peace in Afghanistan. Because of the pair advocating for Peace Day the Taliban sent him letter and said they would observe the day, and not engage in violence. The Taliban doing this led to 1.6 million people vaccinated for polio and violence on that day was down by 70%.
Due to this success Gilley has initiated a new plan for 2012, a Global Truce Day. This day will show younger generations that we can make a stop to violence with small acts of non-violence in our everyday lives. Gilley wants to utilize all kinds of resources from dance to social media and globally network with government, intergovernmental, and education leaders.
Gilley’s idea of utilizing education into his plan for 2012’s Global Truce Day helped persuade me to write this blog post about his event. Gilley wants to get young people to be the driving force to inspire individual action, so he has complied an educational resource for teachers to implement non-violence and other peace concepts into the classroom.
I can see this educational resource implemented in almost every formal grade level classroom. The students would need a little background on what conflict is, so because of this, starting at the fourth or fifth grade level would probably be best. However, this could fluctuate determined on how the students are influenced by conflict in their everyday lives. By implementing these resources in a classroom setting these children can practice non-violence in their schools, and also bring what they learn outside of the school setting and teach others.
Ways to use this resource:
Gilley includes many different types of lessons in his educational resource. This comprehensive resource includes 21 one-hour lesson plans for exploring issues of peace, nonviolence, and the protection of the environment, with extended projects for Peace Day on September 21st. I think this resource would be best integrated by first starting with showing Gilley’s documentary for one day of class, doing the lesson that corresponds to that, then moving on to the individual lessons maybe once a month until the actual Peace Day on the 21st. The students could help plan how they want their school to recognize and celebrate the event. In addition to using Gilley’s lesson plans I think it would be important for each teacher to incorporate their own discussion in their classrooms on non-violence, and other peace education areas. This would help each individual classroom relate to what types of conflict are going on in their societies.
The goal of each lesson, whether it be with Gilley’s lesson plans or the teacher’s, would be to spread knowledge about ways to bring about peace in small ways. These can be from their knowledge on non-violence to their knowledge of eco-resolution. Each lesson will more than likely encourage a student to go out and spread what they learned to another, and therefore spread the movement of peace.
“We should oppose violence in all situations and of course there’s no better way of bringing that about than through the power of education.”-Jeremy Gilley

The state of health in Uttar Pradesh hardly needs any justification for the intense need of strengthening and mainstreaming community health education/intervention. A group of highly professional and socially conscious people came together with an aim to make a paradigm shift in the field of public health in India and chose Uttar Pradesh to start the intervention and subsequently, a foundation stone was laid for Dr. Giri Lal Gupta Institute of Public Health and Public Affairs. The institute is a result of the association of some nationally eminent people.
Mr. S.D. Sharma was president of the Republic of India and was also the roommate of Vinod's dad at the University of Lucknow. Therefore, Vinod decided to honor him with the Shanker Dayal Sharma Institute for Democracy (SDSIFD). SDSIFD has been constructed, furnished and equipped at Lucknow University from funds donated by Vinod Gupta Charitable Foundation. It was inaugurated by Mrs. Bimla Sharma, wife of late Dr. Shanker Dayal Sharma, former President of India in November 2009. It has since then, been running courses on Democracy and Governance . It also takes up Parliamentary and Judicial Training Programs and Research Projects.
Vinod's dad studied at the Christian College. Vinod decided to honor his dad at the school by building a student center named in his honor. The Student Center comprises an Auditorium, Canteen and Recreation room with covered area of 8000 sq ft is under construction at Christian College, Lucknow, where Dr Giri Lal Gupta had his school education. It is being constructed within the college campus on land provided by the college. The Auditorium shall have seating capacity of 200, it is fully air conditioned with state of art sound system.

When King Hezekiah heard what the field commander had said, he tore his clothes. He put on black clothes. Then he went into the LORD's temple.
Hezekiah sent Eliakim, who was in charge of the palace, to me. He also sent the leading priests and the secretary Shebna to me. All of them were wearing black clothes.
They told me, "Hezekiah says, 'Today we're in great trouble. The LORD is warning us. He's bringing shame on us. Sometimes babies come to the moment when they should be born. But their mothers aren't strong enough to allow them to be born. Today we are like those mothers. We aren't strong enough to save ourselves.
" 'Perhaps the LORD your God will hear everything the field commander has said. His master, the king of Assyria, has sent him to make fun of the living God. Maybe the LORD your God will punish him for what he has heard him say. So pray for the remaining people who are still alive here.' "
King Hezekiah's officials came to me.
Then I said to them, "Tell your master, 'The LORD says, "Do not be afraid of what you have heard. The officers who are under the king of Assyria have spoken evil things against me.
Listen! I will send him news from his own country. It will upset him so much that he will return home. There I will have him cut down with a sword." ' "
The field commander heard that the king of Assyria had left Lachish. So the commander pulled his troops back from Jerusalem. He went to join the king. He found out that the king was fighting against Libnah.
During that time Sennacherib received a report. He was told that Tirhakah was marching out to fight against him. Tirhakah was king of Egypt. He was from the land of Cush. When Sennacherib heard the report, he sent messengers again to Hezekiah with a letter. It said,
"Tell Hezekiah, the king of Judah, 'Don't let the god you depend on trick you. He says, "Jerusalem will not be handed over to the king of Assyria." But don't believe him.
I'm sure you have heard about what the kings of Assyria have done to all of the other countries. They have destroyed them completely. So do you think you will be saved?
" 'The kings who ruled before me destroyed many nations. Did the gods of those nations save them? Did the gods of Gozan, Haran or Rezeph save them? What about the gods of the people of Eden who were in Tel Assar?
Where is the king of Hamath? Where is the king of Arpad? Where is the king of the city of Sepharvaim? Where are the kings of Hena or Ivvah?' "
When Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers, he read it. Then he went up to the LORD's temple. There he spread the letter out in front of the Lord.
Hezekiah prayed to the Lord. He said,
"LORD who rules over all, you are the God of Israel. You sit on your throne between the cherubim. You alone are God over all of the kingdoms on earth. You have made heaven and earth.
Listen, Lord. Hear us. Open your eyes, Lord. Look at the trouble we're in. Listen to what Sennacherib is saying. You are the living God. And he dares to make fun of you!
"Lord, it's true that the kings of Assyria have completely destroyed many nations and their lands.
They have thrown the statues of the gods of those nations into the fire. And they have destroyed them. That's because they weren't really gods at all. They were nothing but statues that were made out of wood and stone. They were made by human hands.
"LORD our God, save us from the powerful hand of Sennacherib. Then all of the kingdoms on earth will know that you alone are God."
I sent a message to Hezekiah. I said, "The LORD is the God of Israel. He says, 'You have prayed to me about Sennacherib, the king of Assyria.
So here is the message I have spoken against him. I am telling him, " ' "You will not win the battle over Zion. Its people hate you and make fun of you. The people of Jerusalem lift up their heads proudly as you run away.
Who have you laughed at? Who have you spoken evil things against? Who have you raised your voice against? Who have you looked at so proudly? You have done it against me. I am the Holy One of Israel!
Through your messengers you have laughed at me again and again. And you have said, 'I have many chariots. With them I have climbed to the tops of the mountains. I've climbed the highest mountains in Lebanon. I've cut down its tallest cedar trees. I've cut down the best of its pine trees. I've reached its farthest mountains. I've reached its finest forests.
I've dug wells in strange lands. I've drunk the water from them. I've walked through all of Egypt's streams. I've dried up every one of them.'
" ' "But I, the Lord, say, 'Haven't you heard what I have done? Long ago I arranged for you to do all of that. In days of old I planned it. Now I have made it happen. You have turned cities with high walls into piles of stone.
Their people do not have any power left. They are troubled and put to shame. They are like plants in the field. They are like new green plants. They are like grass that grows on a roof. It dries up before it is completely grown.
" ' " 'But I know where you live. I know when you come and go. I know how very angry you are with me.
You roar against me and brag. And I have heard your bragging. So I will put my hook in your nose. I will put my bit in your mouth. And I will make you go home by the same way you came.' " ' "
The LORD said, "Hezekiah, here is a miraculous sign for you. "This year you will eat what grows by itself. Next year you will eat what grows from that. But in the third year you will plant your crops and gather them in. You will plant your grapevines and eat their fruit.
The people of Judah who are still alive will be like plants. Once more they will put down roots and produce fruit.
Out of Jerusalem will come those who remain. Out of Mount Zion will come those who are still left alive. My great love will make sure that happens. I rule over all.
"Here is a message from me about the king of Assyria. It says, " 'He will not enter this city. He will not even shoot an arrow at it. He will not come near it with a shield. He will not build a ramp in order to climb over its walls.
By the way that he came he will go home. He will not enter this city,' announces the Lord.
"I will guard this city and save it. I will do it for myself. And I will do it for my servant David."
Then the angel of the LORD went into the camp of the Assyrians. He put to death 185,000 soldiers there. The people of Jerusalem got up the next morning. They looked out and saw all of the dead bodies.
So Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, took the army tents down. Then he left. He returned to Nineveh and stayed there.
One day Sennacherib was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch. His sons Adrammelech and Sharezer cut him down with their swords. Then they escaped to the land of Ararat. Esarhaddon became the next king after his father Sennacherib.

In America, overwhelming debt is often just one piece of bad luck away. A messy divorce, an unforeseen medical event, or a prolonged period of unemployment can often spell financial ruin when progressive social services are not in place. Up through to the mid-19th century, if you couldn’t pay what you owed, it was likely that you’d be thrown in a debtors’ prison and put to work. Society has evolved a little since then. Bankruptcy law now offers a slightly more civilized path to balancing the books.
Under the legal process of bankruptcy, a person (or business entity) gives up what they can, in return for some leniency on their debts. But not everyone is playing the game fairly. Bankruptcy fraud can take many forms: concealment of assets, destruction of property, conflict of interest, fraudulent claims, and fee-fixing. In some cases, bankruptcy fraud is used by predatory scammers to take advantage of people who lack an understanding of the bankruptcy process. But in the vast majority of cases, it simply involves someone concealing their assets to skirt paying the full amount they owe.
According to the US Department of Justice, one in every ten bankruptcy filings includes some element of fraud. While it directly affects businesses and financial institutions who act as creditors, it also has negative indirect effects on the consumer, as creditors increase their fees on credit cards and loans to compensate for losses to bankruptcy fraud. Furthermore, FBI investigations have shown that oftentimes bankruptcy fraud is committed in conjunction with other white collar crimes, such as money laundering, mortgage fraud, and identity theft.
Steve Zinnel, a Sacramento businessman, split with his wife in 1999. It was anything but amicable. In an email to his wife in 2001, he stated his intention to declare bankruptcy with the primary goal being to deprive her and their two teenage children of any financial benefit from the divorce. If that was all he intended to do, he might’ve only been guilty of being a gigantic jerk. But he was a greedy jerk, and he went further.
Zinnel submitted his first fraudulent bankruptcy filing in 2005. Working with his attorney (and eventual co-defendant) Derian Eidson, Zinnel began hiding assets and funneling money through a shell company: Done Deal Incorporated.
Primarily used to house money received through his investment as a silent partner in an electrical infrastructure company, Done Deal would eventually act as a way of concealing Zinnel’s income from five different corporate entities. Zinnel was thus able to declare bankruptcy and dodge his debts (as well as alimony and child support obligations) while still collecting a healthy stream of undeclared income.
He might have gotten away with it, too. Except Zinnel wasn’t just a jerk, and he wasn’t just a criminal; he was narcissistic and vindictive, too. He placed a call to the FBI and asked them to investigate his ex-wife, a dental hygienist, for attempting to gain access to his private health insurance information. The FBI investigated, but they also investigated Zinnel and his bankruptcy proceedings.
The head of the electrical infrastructure company that was paying Zinnel off the books agreed to cooperate with federal investigators. They set up a meeting between Zinnel, Eidson, and some undercover agents. Through this, investigators learned that Zinnel was anything but bankrupt: at the time he’d placed his call to the FBI, he was concealing some $4 million from the government.
In March of 2014, Zinnel was found guilty of 15 counts of money laundering and bankruptcy fraud. He was sentenced to 17 years and eight months in prison, fined half a million dollars, and ordered to forfeit assets worth over $2.8 million to begin paying back what he owed to his wife and children.
The FBI is the primary agency responsible for investigating bankruptcy fraud, often working in collaboration with the US Trustee Program and the US Department of Justice. Typically, an investigation begins with a single red flag. From there, investigators conduct interviews and review financial documents. Depending on the size and complexity of the case, undercover operations or electronic surveillance may be necessary.
Bankruptcy fraud also needs to be fought in the private sector, where creditors may employ investigators to both detect and prevent instances of fraud. Forensic investigators examine financial records for instances of red flags, and develop new metrics by which to discern which transactions look suspect. Given the enormous amount of possible leads (and possible dead ends), investigators need to know where to look and what questions to ask.
In both detection and prevention (and in both the public and private sector), investigators are designing and implementing new tools that utilize AI and machine learning to root out bankruptcy fraud. In the modern financial landscape, practically every transaction leaves a trail, and the modern forensic investigator needs to do more than follow the money; they need to follow the data.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (Bachelor’s in Forensic Accounting)
ERAU offers one of the nation’s only on-campus bachelor-level degrees in forensic accounting and fraud examination. The program is a partner of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE).
The curriculum has been designed to meet the hiring requirements of government agencies like the FBI and the CIA, and it meets the academic requirements of the certified public accountant (CPA) exam. All four major sections of the ACFE certification (financial transactions and fraud schemes, law, investigation, and fraud prevention and deterrence) are covered here.
Utica College (Master’s in Financial Crime and Management)
Established 20 years ago, Utica’s master of science in financial crime and compliance management program was the first of its kind. The curriculum supports students seeking certification either through the ACFE or as certified anti-money laundering specialist (CAMS).
Classes cover subjects such as the legal concepts of criminal fraud; financial investigations; fraud management and technology; advanced fraud analysis; and information and communication security. Courses are routinely updated to stay current with industry trends and best practices.
University of New Haven (Certificate in Financial Crime Investigations)
The University of New Haven has a graduate certificate program in financial crime investigations that can be tailored to a student’s specific area of interest. The curriculum includes only one required course: regulation and occupational fraud. Beyond that, students work with an advisor to select a set of three electives that target a particular focus, such as law enforcement, corporate investigations, compliance, or civil litigation. The program consists of 12 credits.
Dr. Cindy Greenman is chair of the forensic accounting and fraud examination program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where she also teaches as an associate professor. She received her master’s in business from Central Michigan University and her PhD in accounting from NorthCentral University. In 2019, Dr. Greenman won the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners’ Educator of the Year Award.
Dr. Greenman was the first full-time accounting instructor that Embry-Riddle hired. From the beginning, she was encouraged to develop other accounting courses that interested her. In the summer of 2013, she was asked to write the curriculum for the university’s bachelor program in forensic accounting and fraud examination. She conferred with contacts at the NCIS, the FBI, and in the psychology department. Since the program began, it’s earned 100 percent of its students a job placement within 30 days of graduation.
Suzanne Lynch is a professor of practice in economic crime management at Utica College, where she also serves as director of the financial crime and compliance management program. She earned her bachelor’s in criminal justice from Wayne State University, and her master’s in economic crime management from Utica College.
Prior to joining academia, Lynch accrued extensive experience in risk analysis, fraud control implementation, and investigations in the financial services industry. Between MasterCard, Comerica Bank, and Goldman Sachs, she’s held numerous leadership positions in the areas of risk assessment, fraud management, and security. She’s also led several training sessions on fraud detection and investigations for financial institutions and law enforcement entities across the globe. Lynch currently serves as assistant executive director of the Economic Crime Institute at Utica.
Dr. Patrick Malloy is the director of the MS investigations program at the University of New Haven, where he’s helped develop a robust financial crimes program that focuses on white collar crime investigation. He earned his master’s in accounting from Adelphi University, and his DBA in accounting from Argosy University.
Prior to joining the faculty at UNH, Dr. Malloy was the chair of the accounting and fraud investigations program at Pfeiffer University. Through his work in private practice as a licensed CPA, Malloy has gained extensive experience in fraud investigations and internal controls compliance and implementation. In 2012, he won the Starnes Award for outstanding contributions as a teacher, mentor, and leader.

-This exhibition is now closed-
Becoming Picasso: Paris 1901 is an exhibition with laser-sharp focus, exploring Picasso’s development as an artist in 1901, a vital year in which the painter had his breakthrough in the Paris art scene and began his famous Blue Period.
The first section of the exhibition is a collection of paintings created by Picasso for his first Paris show at the gallery of influential art dealer Ambroise Vollard. With only one month to prepare enough work for the Vollard show, Picasso worked at a frenetic pace, creating such vigorous, colourful paintings as Dwarf Dancer and At the Moulin Rouge, attempting to reinvent the styles made famous by such French artists as Degas and Toulouse-Lautrec. Nowhere is the young painter’s sense of confidence more apparent than in I – Picasso, an energetically-textured self portrait in which Picasso stands out in fiery colour against a dark backdrop, staring out at the viewer as if to announce his arrival in Paris as a talent to be reckoned with.
While Picasso’s turn at the Vollard gallery was a commercial success, the artist was destitute by the end of 1901 following a less lucrative series of paintings which marked the beginning of his Blue Period. The second section of the Courtauld exhibition focuses on this time, featuring works created by Picasso while grieving the suicide of his friend Carles Casagemas. The mood becomes more melancholic and emotionally challenging, and the energetic, loose brushwork favoured in Picasso’s earlier work is abandoned in favour of bold outlines and expanses of simplified colour. Paintings such as The Mother and Absinthe Drinker convey a sense of poverty and isolation which is in stark contrast to the ebullient tone of Picasso’s earlier works, and the exaggerated bodies and hardened composition of pieces such as Harlequin and Companion foreshadow the artist’s later Cubist masterpieces.
With only 18 paintings in this show, it is a triumph of successful editing. Every work contributes to telling the story of this important year in Picasso’s development from a young prodigy to an artist of enduring importance.
This exhibition is open until 27 May.

Team Tony cultivates, curates and shares Tony Robbins’ stories and core principles, to help others achieve an extraordinary life.
The Fourth Turning with Neil Howe
What past generations can teach us about our future
There’s no denying that we are part of a significant inflection point in human history. We are truly living in interesting times. In this episode, you will see a 2022 conversation in front of a small audience with historian and demographer, Neil Howe, as he and Tony discuss the patterns of human history, a long-view perspective on the current charge of events, and, most importantly, hope for our future.
If you’re already familiar with Tony’s work (e.g., attended an event, listened to this podcast) you’ve likely heard him say that ANTICIPATION IS POWER and PATTERN RECOGNITION is a huge key to intelligent decision making. Neil Howe’s theory is all about the patterns of the past and what they suggest we can anticipate in the future.
Howe and his co-author William Strauss wrote two extremely impactful books – Generations (published in 1991) and The Fourth Turning (published in 1997).
Strauss and Howe theory considers the 4-stage cycle that repeats every 80-100 years (approximately the length of a human life, also referred to as a saeculum).
Their books suggest four “turnings” of history:
- A High
- An Awakening
- An Unravelling
- (Culminating in) A Crisis
If you’re feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or uncertain about all that’s happening in the world, consider that a cycle of crisis predictably includes massive economic, cultural, political, religious, military, and broad institutional disruption. What can be helpful to remember in these times is that no storm lasts forever, and this too shall pass. Listen to this episode for Neil’s insights and predictions on how much longer this Fourth Turning will last.
NOTE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT READ THE BOOKS: Additionally, one can consider four generational archetypes (a fancy word for patterns) of people born in the same era and coming of age shaped by the same historical events. The four archetypes Strauss and Howe use to describe generational cohorts are: Prophets, Nomads, Heroes, and Artists. So, for example, Millennials fall into the Hero archetype, while Gen Xers are Nomads, and Baby Boomers are Prophets. The generation born in or after 2005 are Artists. As each archetypal generation reaches the end of its 80-year lifespan, the cycle repeats.

Driving is a key to independence from the moment we get our first license.
Most of us want to hold onto that key for as long as we safely can. Most older people are capable and have a lifetime of valuable driving experience. For these reasons, decisions about a person’s ability to drive should never be based on age alone. However, changes in vision, physical fitness and reflexes may cause safety concerns. People who accurately assess these changes can adjust their driving habits so that they stay safe on the road, or choose other kinds of transportation.
While traffic fatalities have rapidly declined over the past decade, reductions involving older drivers have not been at the same rapid pace as in other age groups. The number of older drivers is increasing but many may be vulnerable behind the wheel, and the risk will increase if not addressed. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that if current fatality rates remain unchanged, there could be a three-fold increase in the number of older driver and occupant fatalities by 2020.
New Mexico is making great strides on older driver educational programming. The New Mexico Department of Transportation and Safer New Mexico Now are working together on a multi-year program for reducing the number of crashes, fatal, and nonfatal injuries involving older drivers. The overall goal is to prolong the time that seniors can drive safely. Educating stakeholders on the issues, accommodations and available resources is important to achieving that goal. During the first year of the project, we have gone from virtually no formal program to a tested and proven set of training materials for three large groups of stakeholders.

Encountering Storms Even in the Center of God’s Will by Shane Idleman
When I came back to the Lord in my late twenties, one of the biggest surprises I encountered was that following God is not easy. We get sick and even go through financial, relational, emotional, and mental challenges.
My life actually became more difficult, but a hundred times more rewarding. As I poured over the Word of God, I was constantly reminded that God is for us, therefore, who can be against us (Romans 8:31)?
In short, nothing can prevent God from working in and through you. Even though demons are against you, the world hates you, carnal believers mock you, and friends and family may ridicule you, God is with you!
What is Causing the Storm?
A storm may be a time to build strength and endurance, or it could be a test. Although God’s sovereignty is my sanity, following His plans often brings challenges.
We should have peace in the center of God’s will but not freedom from difficult circumstances. At times, we may fight bouts of anxiety, depression, and fear. Many biblical heroes fought hardship and anxiety while being in the center of God’s will.
How can we determine if a challenge is the result of being in God’s will or because of disobedience? First, check your motives. Why are you doing what you’re doing? Second, focus on obeying God’s Word. This is the only way to truly stay on course. Third, is there a besetting sin that God wants to deal with? Like Jonah, sometimes storms are the result of disobedience.
Fourth, seek biblical counsel from those who will shoot it to you straight. Fifth, try to see challenges as opportunities for growth. Being in the center of God’s will does not prevent challenges; it often creates them.
Forewarned is Forearmed
In Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus tells the story of a wise man who built his house on solid rock (God’s Word) rather than on shifting sand (man’s philosophy). As a result, his house withstood the storm, but the foolish man who built his house on sand lost everything. Remember, both men encountered the storm; one was prepared the other was not. Adversity comes to all of us. We should expect storms, but we can only weather them successfully when we look to God for strength.

So, when do you know enough to know that you can stop learning?
I have no idea when I’ll know enough to believe that I essentially know it all, or at least know all I need to know. I do know for sure that I still have much to learn, in fact, I doubt I’ll actually live long enough to know as much as I need to.
But I’ve have come across people who do know enough…at least they think they do.
I’ve written before about a marketing consultant who I was thinking about hiring to evaluate the effectiveness of some training we were doing. He noticed the credentials after my name and asked what they stood for. I explained what they were and then said perhaps he might be interested in the marketing certification. He politely told me that he already knew “all there was to know about marketing” so he wouldn’t be interested.
I knew in that moment we wouldn’t be using his services. Successful people learn something new almost every day and believing that you already know it all can make it very difficult to learn something new. If you can’t learn you can’t grow and if you can’t grow it is unlikely your success will continue for very long.
Recently I had a conversation with a similarly minded person. They have done very well for themselves, advancing up their organization’s ladder very quickly. By anyone’s measure they certainly appear to be a true success….at least for now.
There were a few of us talking and the subject of this blog come up. Someone asked this highly successful person if they subscribed to my blog. The successful person looked a bit puzzled and then said “why would I read his blog, I’m far more successful than he is, and “besides I know pretty much everything I need to know to succeed already.” In defense of this person they did not say it with apparent malice or contempt, they clearly meant me no harm. They simply said it in such a way as to indicate that they truly believed it.
Probably because of what I do for a living I instantly wondered how this person had achieved their level of success with that kind of attitude. I also knew immediately that this person had in fact much to learn. They needed to learn a bit of humility but beyond that they needed to learn that everyone knows something that they don’t. That means that there isn’t a person a earth that we can’t all learn something from. The most successful people know that, they also know that learning never stops.
In my book the day you stop learning is the day you start declining. I wish nothing but continued success for that highly successful person but it appears they believe they have already reached the pinnacle of their success. Maybe someone should tell them that once you reach the top there is no where to go but down.
If success is your goal feel free to stop learning the moment you think you’ve achieved success. If long-term success is your goal then you need to know that you don’t know enough. You don’t know enough today and you won’t know enough tomorrow.
Keep learning and keep learning from anyone and everything you can. Learning is a life-long endeavor and here’s hoping you have a very long life!

This improvement in cost control is an advantage that can’t be disregarded when settling on the choice to actualize a word related wellbeing and safety management system.
What does OHSAS 18001 Certification really resemble?
The OHSAS 18001 Certification structure is part into four areas. The initial three are early on, with the last area, split into six sub-areas, containing the necessities for the ecological administration framework. Here is the thing that the six sub-areas are about:
1:b> General Requirements – This segment gives a general explanation that the word related wellbeing and safety management system should be built up, archived, actualized, kept up, and ceaselessly improved by the necessities of the OHSAS 18001 Certification. This features the OH&SMS is anything but a one-time action to be done and afterward overlooked, yet rather is expected to be kept up to advance improvement.

The strategy incorporates the organization’s promise to conform to lawful necessities, counteract damage and awful wellbeing, and persistently improve. It likewise gives the general structure to set the targets for the OH&SMS.
3: Planning – There are three sections to the arranging procedure for the OHSAS 18001 Certification. In the first place, the organization needs to distinguish the perils and evaluate the dangers for each work place. Next, the organization needs to distinguish the lawful and different necessities that relate to the recognized dangers and operational procedures and guarantee that they are comprehended and executed. In conclusion, targets and projects for development of the word related wellbeing and security the board framework should be set up with fitting assets to achieve the objectives.
4: Implementation and Operation – This segment has numerous components to consider, beginning with the task of assets, jobs, duties, and specialists. When this is set up you should guarantee that skill, preparing, mindfulness, and correspondence (both inner and outside to the organization) are set up for the working of the OH&SMS. Documentation and control of reports is required to guarantee consistency, as is setting up operational controls and procedures for crisis readiness and reaction to guarantee that there is consistency where required.
5: Checking – The observing and estimation, incorporating assessment of consistence with lawful and different prerequisites, are important to guarantee that choices can be made.

These segments depend on a Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, which utilizes these components to actualize change inside the procedures of the association so as to drive and keep up upgrades inside the procedures.
For what reason would it be a good idea for you to actualize OHSAS 18001 Certification in your association?

In the wake of completing all your documentation and executing it, your association likewise needs to play out these means to guarantee a successful ISO certification:
Internal audit – The Internal-audit is set up for you to check your OH&SMS forms. The objective is to guarantee that records are set up to affirm consistence of the procedures and to discover issues and shortcomings that would somehow or another stay covered up.
Management review – This is a proper audit by your administration to assess the applicable realities about the administration framework forms so as to settle on suitable choices and allocate assets.

Stage One (documentation review) – The evaluators from your picked confirmation body will check to guarantee your documentation meets the prerequisites of OHSAS 18001 Certification.
Stage Two (main audit) – Here, the certification body inspectors will check whether your genuine exercises are agreeable with both OHSAS 18001 Certification and your own documentation by investigating archives, records, and friends practices.

You Can Recover from Trauma with Mindfulness and Embrace a Happier Future
Unlike our physical bodies, the human brain doesn’t ever achieve a state of maturity — it continues to grow and learn for as long as we live. Scientists refer to this concept as neuroplasticity, and under normal circumstances, it’s a good thing. As we’re exposed to new experiences, our neural circuitry adapts to deal with them, developing new and changing pathways.
However, a problem can arise when we’re exposed to a traumatic event and become stuck in endless, destructive neurological loops. Our brains can erroneously trigger stress responses that recall the event, even when we’re no longer in danger. In these cases, we have to consciously help the brain to relearn more appropriate and productive responses. Mindfulness can be a powerful tool in this process.
The Neurological Components of Our Stress Response
At all times, the human body communicates through a system of electrical and chemical impulses that we’re mostly unaware of. However, when we’re under stress, we receive strong messages from our bodies to “pay attention.” Feelings of hunger, needing to use the restroom, or other routine messages may be suspended at this time so we can focus on the danger facing us.
The three main areas of our brain affected by trauma are the amygdala, the hippocampus, and the pre-frontal cortex (PFC). The amygdala is the part of the brain’s limbic system known as the “emotional seat” of the brain. It identifies danger and initiates the fight-or-flight response. It also tells our bodies when we’re no longer in danger. But, in severely traumatized individuals, the amygdala can become hypersensitive and interpret even non-threatening stimuli as dangerous, erroneously triggering stress responses.
The amygdala constantly interacts with the hippocampus, which plays a role in memory function. When we process information, we form explicit, factual memories and implicit, emotional memories that relate to feelings rather than facts. Explicit and implicit memories travel different neural pathways to the brain but are later united by the hippocampus to create a single, unified memory of an event.
When experiencing trauma, this contextualization of memory can be broken, and the hippocampus may struggle to distinguish past from present and fact from feelings. Individuals may even have gaps in memory because their bodies are focused on getting them to safety rather than encoding memory. Or it can result in intrusive flashbacks, which then set off the hypersensitive amygdala in a reinforcing loop of responses. Things as simple as a smell, a touch, or even the tone of someone’s voice could trigger this reaction.
The PFC, meanwhile, regulates behaviors, overriding the hippocampus if necessary. But in traumatized individuals, it can be severely impaired and incapable of signaling to the amygdala that the perceived danger is in fact not a threat. Therefore, the body will continue to experience all the same signals: a fast-beating heart, heavy breathing, sweating palms, and so on.
Using Mindfulness to Respond to Trauma
To deal with trauma, the body’s “alarm system” needs to be recalibrated. Only once the physical symptoms are dealt with can work begin on the mental and emotional aspects. Mindfulness is about being present in the body, recognizing the messages it’s sending, and consciously responding to them. Research involving brain scans and neuroimaging shows that mindfulness and meditation practices correlate with an increase in gray matter in the hippocampus and a decrease of gray matter in the amygdala, which can help activate the PFC.
Coping with severe trauma may require the assistance of a trained psychologist. However, you can start work on your own by becoming conscious of your body and understanding that it is trying to protect you. By letting your body know it isn’t in danger, you can calm down the hormonal responses and start to retrain and redirect your neural pathways.
There are many different coping mechanisms, and you’ll need to experiment with finding one that works for you. For example, diaphragmatic breathing techniques are excellent because they work against the short, gasping breaths involved in the fight-or-flight response and signal the brain that you are safe. You could also try meditating. There are many guided meditation smartphone apps, and following the instructions can help keep you focused and calm.
Regularly practicing mindfulness can help train you to free yourself from the vicious cycles of negative thinking, often the cornerstone of trauma. The first step in rebuilding trust lies in learning to trust our body’s response to situations. So the work you put into retraining your neural pathways will be well rewarded. Remember, processing the body’s reaction doesn’t deny your trauma; instead, it allows it to be part of your story without it dictating your present and future.

Blessed László Batthyány-Strattmann
father of a family
Official memorial: 22 January
László Batthyány was born on 28 October 1870 in Dunakiliti, in a family that dates back to the time of the Hungarian conquest. He first attended the grammar school run by the Jesuits in Kalksburg, then he moved to Kalocsa. He completed his secondary school studies in Uzhhorod. He started university at the Economic Academy of Vienna, then went on to study at the Rudolphiana University. He graduated in arts in 1896 and in 1900 he became a medical doctor.
In 1901 he opened a hospital with twenty (later on thirty) beds for the poor next to the castle in Kittsee (a.k.a. Köpcsény), which he received from his father. He also set up a hospital in his castle in Körmend and equipped it with state-of-the-art medical equipment of his age, moreover, he also developed such equipment. He specialized in ophthalmological surgery. He treated the poor for free, gave them medicine, and he also gave clothes and money to the needy. He treated 60 to 100 patients a day. From 1921 he treated five thousand patients a year in his hospital in Körmend and he financed the salary of the hospital staff from his own funds. He took care of both the patients' physical health and their spiritual well-being. Before surgeries he used to pray with them, asking for God's blessing for his work. He used to say that he performed the surgery but it was God who granted the healing, he was only an instrument in God's hands. When the patients were about to leave the hospital, he gave each of them a prayer card or some booklet of spiritual reading.
In 1898 he married Countess Maria Theresia Coreth, who became a real partner for him. She was his right hand even in his work. They had thirteen children, and the principal law of their home and the source of the family's happiness was Christ's commandment of love. Their daily routine always included Holy Mass, common prayer and good deeds. From 1907 till his death, László Batthyány prayed the Little Office of Our Lady in Latin every day, and he prayed the rosary in the evening. In 1916, László, his son Ödön and his sister-in-law (Lili Coreth, who later became a Benedictine nun) entered the Franciscan third order.
In 1929 he was diagnosed with serious illness, cancer, and was referred to the Löw sanatorium in Vienna. He fought with the illness for 14 months, always firmly confident in God's goodness. Despite the terrible pain he suffered from, he always received his guests willingly and with joy. His heroic behaviour deeply impressed everyone and strengthened their faith. He died on 22 January 1931. The day before his death he asked his family: "Take me to the balcony so that I can shout to the whole world that God is good!"
His body was taken to Körmend, where it lay in state in the chapel of the castle. His cured patients and his poor came to pray in front of his coffin in endless cues and said sobbing: the prince was a saint. His body was buried in Németújvár (today Güssing) in the family vault.
His veneration constantly increased after his death, many people asked for his intercession. At the request of a multitude of faithful, his process of beatification was begun on 30 August 1944 by the archbishop of Vienna and the bishop of Szombathely parallelly.
After World War II, due to the adverse circumstances, the process of beatification was interrupted for a longer period and it was resumed in 1987 upon the joint initiative of the dioceses of Eisenstadt and Szombathely.
