Donor Government Funding for Family Planning in 2018
This report provides the latest data on donor government resources available for family planning activities in low- and middle-income countries. It is part of an effort by the Kaiser Family Foundation that began after the London Summit on Family Planning in 2012 at which the global community pledged to expand contraceptive access to an additional 120 million women and girls by 2020.1 Stakeholders reconvened at The Family Planning Summit for Safer, Healthier and Empowered Futures in 2017 and made new and renewed commitments to global family planning goals.2
This current report provides data on donor government disbursements in 2018, the most recent year available. It includes data from all 30 members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC), as well as non-DAC members where data are available.3 Data are collected directly from donors and supplemented with data from the DAC. Ten donor governments that account for 98% of total disbursements for family planning are profiled in this analysis. Both bilateral assistance and core contributions to UNFPA are included. For more detail, see the below methodology. For information on family planning funding from other sources (e.g. multilateral organizations, foundations, etc.) see Appendix 1.
In 2018, donor governments disbursed US$1.50 billion in bilateral funding for family planning activities (see Figure 1, Table 1 & Appendix 2), an increase of US$237.3 million (19%) compared to the 2017 level (US$1.26 billion) and the highest level of funding since tracking efforts began following the 2012 London Summit (even after adjusting for inflation and currency fluctuation). This was the second year of increases after two years of declines.
|Table 1: Donor Government Bilateral Disbursements for Family Planning, 2012-2018 (in current US$, millions)|
|2017 – 2018||2012 – 2018|
|Other DAC Countries*||$11.0||$29.5||$9.0||$10.1||$3.3||$9.6||$29.6||$20.1
|*Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, European Union, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, and Switzerland.|
Among the ten donors profiled, seven increased funding in 2018 (Canada, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, the UK, and the US) and three decreased (Australia, France, and Sweden); these trends were the same in currency of origin.
Approximately two-thirds of the overall increase in 2018 was due to an increase in funding from the U.S., the world’s largest donor. In 2018, U.S. disbursements totaled US$630.6 million, an increase of US$155.9 million (33%) compared to 2017 (US$474.7 million). The U.S. increase in 2018 was largely due to the timing of disbursements and does not reflect an actual increase in U.S. appropriations by Congress, which have been flat for several years (see Figure 2 and Box 1). The remaining increase reflects actual increased disbursements from Canada, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and the U.K.
|Box 1: U.S. Government Family Planning Appropriations & Disbursements|
|The U.S. President’s budget request to Congress starts the budget process each year. Congress considers this request and then specifies funding levels in annual appropriations bills. Funding amounts specified by Congress are for a given fiscal year (the U.S. fiscal year is from October 1 to September 30), but may be spent over a multiyear period.
Key highlights of recent trends in U.S. funding for FP are as follows:
The U.S. was the largest donor to family planning, accounting for 42% of donor government disbursements (see Figure 3). The U.K. (19%) was the second largest donor followed by the Netherlands (14%), Sweden (7%), and Canada (5%).
Since the London Summit in 2012, most donor governments have increased funding for family planning and overall funding has risen by US$405.1 million (37%) (see Figure 4 & Table 1). Eight of the ten donor governments profiled (Canada, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, the U.K., and the U.S.) increased funding over the period (see Figure 5). The U.S. was the largest cumulative increase over the period (US$145.6 million), though largely due to fluctuations in disbursement rates. The Netherlands (US$110.2 million) was the second largest cumulative increase, followed by Sweden (US$65.8 million), Canada (US$40.3 million), and the U.K. (US$39.4 million). Five of the donors profiled (Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden) doubled or more than doubled bilateral family planning funding over the period. It should be noted that the dip in funding in 2015 and 2016 was primarily due to an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar against all other currencies as well as disbursement delays by the U.S.
Donor Contributions to UNFPA
While the majority of donor government assistance for family planning is provided bilaterally, donors also provide support for family planning activities through contributions to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). Most of UNFPA’s funding is from donor governments, which provide funding in two ways: 1) donor directed or earmarked contributions for specific activities (e.g. donor contributions to the UNFPA Supplies), which are included as part of bilateral funding above; and 2) general contributions to “core” activities that are untied and meant to be used for both programmatic activities (e.g. family planning, population and development, HIV/AIDS, gender, and sexual and reproductive health and rights) and operational support as determined by UNFPA.
In 2018, donor governments profiled provided US$373.9 million in core contributions to UNFPA, an increase of US$29.5 million (9%) compared to the 2017 level (US$344.4 million). Among the donors profiled, two increased funding (Norway and Sweden), five remained flat (Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and the U.K.), and two declined (Denmark and the Netherlands). The U.S. did not provide any funding to UNFPA in 2018 (see Box 2).4
|Box 2: U.S. funding for UNFPA|
|Created in 1969, UNFPA is a United Nations agency that supports sexual and reproductive health activities in many low- and middle-income countries and was a key partner in both the 2012 and 2017 family planning summits. The U.S. played a key role in the founding of UNFPA and has historically provided both core and non-core funding to the organization. However, this funding has been subject to the “Kemp-Kasten amendment”, first enacted by Congress in 1985 and included in annual appropriations language, which states that no U.S. funds may be made available to “any organization or program which, as determined by the president of the United States, supports or participates in the management of a program of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization.” Since 1985, the Kemp-Kasten amendment has been invoked 17 times – as determined by presidents along party lines – to withhold funding (both core and non-core) from UNFPA (see KFF “UNFPA Funding & Kemp-Kasten: An Explainer”). This has resulted in significant fluctuations in funding over time.
Recent highlights of U.S. funding for UNFPA are as follows:
Sweden provided the largest core contribution to UNFPA in 2018 (US$83.0 million), followed by Norway (US$63.8 million), the Netherlands (US$37.5), and Denmark (US$37.1 million) (see Figure 6 and Table 2). Among the ten donors profiled, one donor – Norway – provided a larger contribution to UNFPA’s core resources than their total bilateral disbursement for family planning.
|Table 2: Donor Government Contributions to UNFPA (Core Resources), 2012-2018 (in current US$, millions)|
|2017 – 2018||2012 – 2018|
|Other DAC Donors||$98.0||$108.8||$125.0||$96.6||$75.1||$78.8||$82.1||$3.3
While donor government funding for family planning reached the highest level since this tracking effort began, a significant share of that increase was due to the timing of disbursements by the U.S. The U.S. increase may be temporary as annual appropriations have been relatively flat in recent years. Family planning funding from most of the remaining nine donors, all of which made new or renewed commitments at the Family Planning Summit in 2017, increased in both 2017 and 2018. These years have also seen funding growth in broader Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) among a subset of donor governments. Ongoing tracking of whether these trends continue will be important for assessing the post-2020 agenda.
Bilateral and multilateral data on donor government assistance for family planning (FP) in low- and middle-income countries were collected from multiple sources. The research team collected the latest bilateral assistance data directly for 10 governments: Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States during the first half of 2019. Data represent the fiscal year 2017 period for all governments. Direct data collection from these donors was desirable because they represent the preponderance of donor government assistance for family planning and the latest official statistics – from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Creditor Reporting System (CRS) (see: http://www.oecd.org/dac/stats/data) – which are from 2017 and do not include all forms of international assistance (e.g., funding to countries such as Russia and the Baltic States that are no longer included in the CRS database). In addition, the CRS data may not include certain funding streams provided by donors, such as FP components of mixed-purpose grants to non-governmental organizations. Data for all other OECD DAC member governments – Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, the European Union, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, and Switzerland – which collectively accounted for approximately 2 percent of bilateral family planning disbursements, were obtained from the OECD CRS and are from calendar year 2017.
For purposes of this analysis, funding was counted as family planning if it met the OECD CRS purpose code definition: “Family planning services including counseling; information, education and communication (IEC) activities; delivery of contraceptives; capacity building and training.”5 Where it was possible to identify funding amounts, family-planning-related activities funded in the context of other official development assistance sectors (e.g. education, civil society) are included in this analysis. Project-level data were reviewed for Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden to determine whether all or a portion of the funding could be counted as family planning. Family-planning-specific funding totals for the United States were obtained through direct data downloads and communications with government representatives. Funding attributed to Australia and the United Kingdom is based on a revised Muskoka methodology as agreed upon by donors at the London Summit on Family Planning in 2012. Funding totals presented in this analysis should be considered preliminary estimates based on data provided by representatives of the donor governments who were contacted directly.
It was difficult in some cases to disaggregate bilateral family planning funding from broader population, reproductive and maternal health totals, as the two are sometimes represented as integrated totals. In addition, family-planning-related activities funded in the context of other official development assistance sectors (e.g. education, civil society) have in the past remained largely unidentified. For purposes of this analysis, we worked closely with the largest donors to family planning to identify such family-planning-specific funding where possible. In some cases (e.g. Canada), specific FP percentages were recorded for mixed-purpose projects. In other cases, it was possible to identify FP-specific activities by project titles in languages of origin, notwithstanding less-specific financial coding. In still other cases, detailed project descriptions were analyzed (see Appendix 2 for detailed data table).
Bilateral funding is defined as any earmarked (FP-designated) amount and includes family planning-specific contributions to multilateral organizations (e.g. non-core contributions to UNFPA Supplies). U.S. bilateral data correspond to amounts disbursed for the 2018 fiscal year. UNFPA contributions from all governments correspond to amounts received during the 2018 calendar year, regardless of which contributor’s fiscal year such disbursements pertain to.
With some exceptions, bilateral assistance data were collected for disbursements. A disbursement is the actual release of funds to, or the purchase of goods or services for, a recipient. Disbursements in any given year may include disbursements of funds committed in prior years and in some cases, not all funds committed during a government fiscal year are disbursed in that year. In addition, a disbursement by a government does not necessarily mean that the funds were provided to a country or other intended end-user. Enacted amounts represent budgetary decisions that funding will be provided, regardless of the time at which actual outlays, or disbursements, occur. In recent years, most governments have converted to cash accounting frameworks, and present budgets for legislative approval accordingly; in such cases, disbursements were used as a proxy for enacted amounts.
UNFPA core contributions were obtained from United Nations Executive Board documents. UNFPA estimates of total family planning funding provided from both core and non-core resources were obtained through direct communications with UNFPA representatives. Other than core contributions provided by governments to UNFPA, un-earmarked core contributions to United Nations entities, most of which are membership contributions set by treaty or other formal agreement (e.g., United Nations country membership assessments), are not identified as part of a donor government’s FP assistance even if the multilateral organization in turn directs some of these funds to FP. Rather, these would be considered as FP funding provided by the multilateral organization, and are not considered for purposes of this report.
The fiscal year period varies by country. The U.S. fiscal year runs from October 1-September 30. The Australian fiscal year runs from July 1-June 30. The fiscal years for Canada and the U.K. are April 1-March 31. Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden use the calendar year. The OECD uses the calendar year, so data collected from the CRS for other donor governments reflect January 1-December 31. Most UN agencies use the calendar year and their budgets are biennial.
All data are expressed in US dollars (USD). Where data were provided by governments in their currencies, they were adjusted by average daily exchange rates to obtain a USD equivalent, based on foreign exchange rate historical data available from the U.S. Federal Reserve (see: http://www.federalreserve.gov/) or in some cases from the OECD. Data obtained from UNFPA were already adjusted by UNFPA to represent a USD equivalent based on date of receipts.

Three women discuss the social pressure to have kids while celebrating the uniqueness of their bodies in this award-winning This short is made for a generation that dances when life gets hard. In the world of flamenco, there is a concept that is relevant to Las del Diente: "duende". An expression to describe when someone is witnessing something magical, real, true. This film is a documentary but, most importantly, is true and full of "duende". A film where women from different parts of the world come together to fight for their rights in a humble an empathetic way.
After years immersed in the strange land of Santa Clarita, I felt my roots pulling hard. I decided to avoid the rational voice in my head that told me that a film in Spanish about my ovaries would condemn me to ostracism and did it anyway. I animated this film from my gut, it is a visceral piece where flamenco music performed by Paola Escobar's feet and a lot of sleepless night in front of Adobe Animate made me realize that I was wrong to believe that a film with subtitles wouldn't be well received in the anglophone world. I fully directed and drew all the frames of the cel-animated piece that played at major festivals around the world such as SXSW or Slamdance, and got the recognition of Vimeo's Staff Picks.

How Collaborations Help Business Operations
In the present day business world, it is almost impossible to operate without strong collaborations. Organizations that are focused on delivering quality for their customers find it convenient to work closely with others in order to improve effectiveness. Various reasons can be cited to justify the need for collaborations. First and foremost, collaborations compel organizations to work towards being their very best at what they do. Secondly, problems are solved better when organizations pull their expertise and resources together by way of collaboration. Clearly, this helps to create room for leveraging the strengths of others. Thirdly, the collaboration presents an opportunity for members of different organizations to learn from each other.Let our writers help you!

Undeniably, information systems play a vital role in helping to promote collaborations in organizations. With the help of social media platforms such as blogs, wikis, Facebook, and Twitter, members of different organizations are able to effectively collaborate on different tasks and share good practices. Organizations can also rely on email systems to collaborate with others. To improve service delivery to citizens, a number of civil society groups in the United Arab Emirates are in collaboration with government institutions.
Management, Organization, and Technology Issues for Using Social Media to Engage With Customer
With regard to the use of social media, it is important to realize that the adoption of technology is still a challenge for most countries and especially those in the developing world. While everything seems to be happening quite fast in developed nations, developing countries are still lagging behind. In addition, scores of people especially in the developing world need to be taught how to depend on technology to get things done.
In spite of the above challenge, it is imperative for organizations to embrace the use of technology in areas such as advertisement, marketing and supply chain management. Considering that most consumers are quickly turning to the use of technology to access important services, organizations are left with no option but to invest in modern technology. Unlike in the past, most consumers in modern-day society are enlightened and hence able to perform transactions using different means including cell phones and other mobile devices. Organizations must thus ensure that they are strategically positioned to take advantage of the numerous opportunities presented by technology.
Pros and Cons of Using Social Media
Among other benefits, social media permits organizations to strengthen their brands and this in turn helps to create healthy relationships with customers. Social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter also enable organizations to increase visibility and reach more customers. Social media also makes it possible for organizations to understand who their customers are and what their specific needs are. Web-based features such as cookies and weblogs permit Web servers to track activities of customers and this information can later be used to understand customers.
Social media can, however, be used negatively by competitors. For example, a competitor can clandestinely steal trade secrets from other organizations. In addition, disgruntled customers can quickly and easily spread negative information about organizations whose services or products they are unhappy with.Order now, and your customized paper without ANY plagiarism will be ready in merely 3 hours!
Should all companies use Facebook and Twitter for Customer Service and Marketing?
Despite the fact that social media are vital for customer service and marketing, not every business enterprise needs social media. Over the years, Facebook and Twitter have gained popularity among consumers and any organization that ignores these technologies risks losing business to competitors. In my opinion, companies that are most suited for platforms such as Facebook and Twitter are those that are in the business of selling digital products and services. Small companies with financial constraints can also benefit greatly from the use of social media since the cost of advertising and marketing online is affordable. It is, however, advisable for companies that choose to rely on social media to have an effective strategy that leads to great benefits being realized from the use of social media.

When someone is diagnosed with cancer, battle metaphors often prevail – He is such a fighter! She will win this battle! – but how do a positive attitude and emotional strength actually affect a patient’s outcome?
“When you’re positive and have a positive outlook, it doesn’t mean you’re going to beat pancreatic cancer,” said Andrew Hendifar, MD, MPH, medical oncology lead for the Gastrointestinal Disease Research Group at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and co-director of Pancreas Oncology. “But it means you won’t let something bad in your life make you negative or take away from the good in your life.”
Hendifar, who chairs the supportive care committee and is a principal investigator of a Clinical Trial Consortium site for Precision PromiseSM, continued: “Use it as an opportunity to reflect, to enhance, to do what’s important, to get closer to loved ones.”
According to the American Cancer Society, there have been mixed findings about whether positive attitude and depletion of stress and anxiety have an impact on a patient’s cancer outcome.
But Hendifar points out that feeling better and feeling at peace with the situation can lead to improved relationships between patients and their caregivers and medical professionals – and that can lead to better decision making.
“Being positive is not being naïve – it means taking a difficult situation and doing the best you can,” Hendifar added. “In life, there are always things that happen that are very challenging. What gives us our humanity and what makes people special is the ability to accept and support each other through various circumstances.
“No one should have to suffer alone.”
Support for the pancreatic cancer patient is critical to improve quality of life and overall well-being. Having a support system of caregivers, family, friends, healthcare professionals and a PanCAN Patient Services Case Manager is important to address and manage the needs of the patient.
Contact PanCAN Patient Services for resources about patient support and other information and services for those impacted by a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

Pierre Guédron (also Pierre Guesdron; * about 1570 in Châteaudun; † after 1620 in Paris) was a French singer and composer. He was one of the innovators of French music in the early 17th century and one of the first creators of a dramatically oriented ballet.
Pierre Guédron’s career was rapid and continuous: beginning as a simple cantor, he ended it less than thirty years later as Superintendent of the King’s Chamber Music (the highest possible position, along with that of sub-master of the King’s Chapel), while at the same time publishing a considerable number of arias.
He is documented in 1585 as a choirboy in the chapel of the Cardinal and Archbishop of Reims Ludwig II of Lorraine-Guise. He performed as an alto at a Puy in Évreux. After his master was executed in 1588, Guédron entered royal service. He was initially a singer in the chapel of Henri III. In the course of the cultural reorganization by Henry IV, which also affected court music, he rose to the position of leader of the ensemble. During this time he probably also married Gillette Dugué.
In 1601 he was appointed Royal Chamber Composer, succeeding Claude Le Jeune, and in 1603 he was finally appointed chamber servant and music teacher. In the latter function he looked after the children of Maria de’ Medici. In 1613 he passed on both offices to his son-in-law Antoine de Boësset. Guédron ended his life with a considerable fortune, which he had acquired in royal service.
Guédron was the most important French composer of his time.
Guédron’s main compositional work is his vocal music for the “Ballets de cour” at the royal court.
Guédron’s work is exclusively secular and vocal. His early arias are still in the tradition of late sixteenth-century arias, sometimes written in the measured music or vaudeville style, where the upper voice is favoured. His style then evolves from the 1612 book, towards freer arias, describing nobler passions and endowed with real melodramatic qualities, which he naturally employs in the court ballets to which he contributes. In this “court” style, the number of voices in the same piece varies; dynamic contrasts are accentuated; his melodies are pleasant and expressive. His final arias are an opportunity for him to work more on the correspondence between the word and his musical accent, which will be one of the concerns of his successors.
Guédron published 6 books of polyphonic court arias (a first unnumbered book and books 1 to 5, the last posthumous one), with a total of about 200 arias. Some of them were written for the main court ballets staged in Paris in the first two decades of the 17th century.
Many of Guédron’s polyphonic arias were also published in a version for voice and lute, some also for solo voice. The recitals, written for voice alone, were published only for voice and lute; this specific form of court ballet gave him the opportunity to approach the declamatory style of Italian monody.
Guédron was also a poet, author of verses that he sometimes sets to music himself. His employment in court ballets naturally brought him into contact with court poets, who were able to write pieces quickly.
The complete work is published in: Pierre Guédron, les airs de cour, ed. Georgie Durosoir. Versailles, Éditions du CMBV, 2009. The arias are published there in all their forms (polyphony, voice and lute).

The family of political leader Hassan Mushaima complained that he was subjected to unprecedented reprisals in the prisons of the Khalifa regime in Bahrain.
Activist Ali Mushaima said that a strong argument erupted between his father and the police because of what he called the constant provocation he is subjected to in isolation.
Mushaima stated that his father was fed up with his continued isolation and provocation, even though he spent his days alone fasting.
Mushaima also pointed out that his father repeatedly requested that he is returned to prison after it became clear that his presence in the “health centre” was only isolation and solitary confinement.
Activist Mushaima described what his father is subjected to as moral decadence in enjoying the suffering of the sheikh. “This reflects the power’s detachment from chivalry and humanity,” he said.
Mushaima indicated that his father was neglected and deprived of some fundamental rights while in Jaw Prison. The restrictions intensified after he refused an offer to release him in exchange for the silence last September.
He also explained that his father spent eight months alone in a closed, isolated room. He has been deprived of the right to telephone contact with his family for over six months and suffers from several health problems without severe treatment.
Amnesty International has previously highlighted the suffering of the prominent prisoner of conscience in Bahrain, Hassan Mushaima, noting that he is one of the most prominent victims of politically motivated imprisonment in the world.
The international human rights organization published a report by activist Mark Mannheim, which stated that the prisoner Mushaima spent more than 3,738 consecutive days behind bars, without counting the previous periods.
The report indicated that this former political leader played a significant role in the peaceful protests in Bahrain during the Arab Spring. Since his arrest, he has remained a living model for calling for change and protecting human rights.
Although Bahrain is not a country that receives much international attention, this kingdom’s deteriorating human rights situation has become the subject of increasing follow-up.
The report said that driver Lewis Hamilton had recently referred to continuing human rights violations in Bahrain before participating in the Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix.
There were also solid international protests that contributed to the release of many prisoners of conscience in the country, including Nabeel Rajab and Najah Youssef.
But this does not apply to Hassan Mushaima, the 73-year-old Bahraini prisoner of conscience. He was sentenced to prison for participating in the pro-democracy protests in 2011 and spent many years in prison.
Mushaima is considered one of the leaders of the opposition in Bahrain. He is the Secretary-General of the Al-Haq Movement, which is one of the largest opposition parties. He is also a fierce defender of human rights.

Instruct-ERIC is a pan-European research infrastructure in structural biology, making high-end technologies and methods available to all European researchers.
Structural Biology is one of the key frameworks on which we interpret molecular and cellular functions. The main experimental technologies are complementary, and increasingly link detailed atomic structure with cellular context.
Structural Biology is currently in the middle of a revolution enabled by significant advances in the tools (direct electron detectors in EM, advances in synchrotron sources and detectors, XFELs, ultra-high field NMR, super-resolution cryo-light miscroscopy).
Horizon2020 In addition to the core activities, Instruct-ERIC is actively working in partnership with others across the Life Sciences field to share expertise and work together on European projects which will benefit the Life Science community more generally. Horizon 2020 (H2020) is the EU Research and Innovation Programme which provides funding in key research areas. Details of our projects are given below, many of which relate to improving research infrastructure, data and training.
EOSC-Life brings together the 13 Biological and Medical ESFRI research infrastructures (BMS RIs) to create an open collaborative space for digital biology. It is our joint response to the challenge of analysing and reusing the prodigious amounts of data produced by life-science. Managing and integrating this data is beyond the capabilities of most individual end-users and institutes. By publishing data and tools in a Europe-wide cloud EOSC-Life aims to bring the capabilities of big science projects to the wider research community. Federated user access (AAI) will allow transnational resource access and authorisation. EOSC-Life establishes a novel access model for the BMS RI: through EOSC scientists would gain direct access to FAIR data and tools in a cloud environment available throughout the European Research Area.
RI-VIS is a Horizon 2020 project launched in February 2019 to expand the visibility of European research infrastructures. RI-VIS will target new communities within Europe such as new scientific communities, policy-makers, industrial communities and the general public, but also to reach out to new target regions internationally through cultivating partnerships between European and international research infrastructures and local experts. RI-VIS is supported by its consortium of 13 partners from 12 research infrastructures in the biomedical, social, and environmental sciences. The project is coordinated by the Instruct-ERIC hub team.
The main goal of the EU-LAC ResInfra project, 'Towards a new EU-CELAC partnership in Research Infrastructures', is to enhance the bi-regional collaboration regarding Research Infrastructures. Within this project Instruct-ERIC is responsible for the Pilot on Infrastructure cooperation and coordination on Structural Biological for Health. The project is a Horizon 2020 Coordination and Support Action that will run until 31 May 2022.
iNEXT-Discovery aims to enable access to structural biology research infrastructures for all European researchers, and especially non-experts in structural biology. For that reason it brings together a diversity of large research facilities and other groups in a single consortium. Instruct provides the proposal system for the project and the use of our facilities also contributing to networking and communication activities. Instruct is responsible of the sustainability planning for the activities of the project.
TRANSVAC2 focuses on making new vaccines quicker. The consortium comprises a comprehensive collection of leading European institutions that propose to further advance with the previous initiative towards the establishment of a fully operational and sustainable European vaccine R&D infrastructure. It bridges the translational gap in biomedical research, and supports cooperation between public vaccine R&D institutions of excellence, related initiatives and networks in Europe, and industrial partners.
TRANSVAC-DS (Design study for a European vaccine infrastructure) builds on the outstanding achievements from TRANSVAC1/2 and aims to further explore and advance the conceptual and technical design of a Pan-European vaccine infrastructure. The main objective and output of TRANSVAC-DS will be a conceptual design report, including a five-year business plan together with an implementation plan, that will describe in detail the maturity of the concept and be the basis for the establishment of a permanent and sustainable vaccine infrastructure.
ERIC stands for European Research Infrastructure Consortium and is one of the 5 European legal instruments especially set up by the European Union in 2009 to provide a legal framework for (multisite) European research infrastructures. The objectives of the forum are to identify common challenges affecting the Forum Members as entities subject to the ERIC Regulation; to collectively response to these challenges; to contribute to the further development of the ERIC Regulation, ESFRI framework and European and international research context; and lastly to foster the visibility, impact and sustainability of ERICs.
Keep up to date with structural biology events from Instruct and around the world!

The Restoration of the Stained Glass Windows in All Saints Church South Hobart
made possible by a
Your Community Heritage Grant
obtained from the Federal Government through Andrew Wilkie MHR June 2012
The Stained Glass in Churches
Stained glass windows have adorned churches for many hundreds of years. They have added beauty and splendour and spoken about a God ‘who is light and in whom there is no darkness at all. The colours of the windows change as the light of the day changes.
The windows were important teaching aids for the faithful. Their symbolism led people into the stories of the faith and helped them deepen and grow in their own faith. This has certainly been the experience of people at All Saints through the generations.
The East Window traditionally speaks of the mystery of Christ’s death, resurrection and glorification. This is beautifully done in All Saints. In the middle of the middle panel is the crucifixion; in the middle of the left hand panel is the resurrection; and in the middle of the right hand panel, the ascension. Our eyes are led upwards to Cherubim and Seraphim who hold the instruments of the passion. They lead our eyes further to the top panel where we see the ‘Victory Lamb’, Christ himself who ‘opened for us a new way, a living way, through the curtain, through his own body’. (Hebrews 10:20)
‘Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honour and glory and blessing’. (Revelation 5:12)
The bottom panels from the left are Joseph’s brother pulling him out of the cistern ready to sell him into slavery; Abraham, in obedience, being prepared to sacrifice his son; and Elijah being assumed into heaven.
Reflecting on the left panel in a sermon preached in All Saints during Lent 2011, Fr Robert Legg, said of the bottom section (See right photo), referring to Joseph:
Joseph, having been delivered into slavery but becoming head of Pharoah’s household, says to his brothers: “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended harm to me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”
No wonder Messrs. Ferguson and Urie placed the picture of Joseph and his brothers under the larger picture of Jesus at His Resurrection. Look for a moment at the left hand main picture. He is Risen! The soldier guards fall back in amazement hiding their eyes, the rocks split apart. He is out of the tomb, the black hole in the rocks. That which was intended to be his end becomes His new beginning.
We, the sinful of the world intended him harm, but God the Almighty intended good.
Joseph was pulled out of the dark cistern in which he was supposed to die – but God had other plans.
So with Jesus – laid in a cold dark tomb – He rises at God’s command to bring peace and love and joy for all who meet Him.
“It’s not really a tomb,
rather a transient’s room in which to change,
from one degree of glory to another.”
and so may we.
Often we end up in the caves, tombs, cisterns, cupboards and cellars of our minds. We even come to Church enclosed in our cellars of hurt and depression, of anger and jealousy. Often we come letting everybody know all about our darknesses! Well I do!
And yet however we intend – God can intend otherwise – and does so.
So the camel in the left hand window, simply a minor part of the whole picture personifies for me just what God can do. And just what God is doing even now amongst us.
The great miracle of dark places; caverns, cisterns, cellars, black room or even a tomb, is that the Lord can and does shine in each of them. And for us this is revealed as we reach out to take to ourselves His body and blood in the bread and the wine. Our hands reach outwards to receive the bread, and light shines in our darkness. His wonderful purpose is always for our good, for our light and for our peace.
The West Window is the Christian’s response to the message of the East Window. It depict the parable of the Sheep and the Goats in Matthew. Each panel depicts one of the corporal acts of mercy. The window reminds us of Jesus words that reminds us that “whatever you do for the least of these my brethren, you do it to me.” The east and west windows are a wonderful foil for each other. As Jesus gave himself for us out of love and showed us the immensity of God’s love, the west window shows us that the Christian response to that love should be and how we should aim to recognise Jesus in every person we see.
The windows in All Saints remain a challenge to everyone who enters the building. We can see them as works of art – and they are. But they continue to teach and remind us of the foundations of our faith.
The Significance of the Windows
The Conservation Management Plan for the Parish Church of All Saints which was delivered to the Parish in 2008 highlighted the stained glass windows as being of high importance and heritage significance.
The glass in All Saints Church was made by three firms – Charles Edmund Clutterbuck, from Stratford, England, Percy Bacon Brothers of London and Ferguson & Urie Co. of Melbourne in the case of the remainder.
Local Hobart newspaper The Mercury, in a report on Saturday 22 October 1864, described the windows as “really magnificent works of art, being in quite modern style, and free from conventionalism in treatment, as shown by some bits of landscape effect which are most charmingly truthful to nature. They are the production of the celebrated house of Clutterbuck, so famous for skill and taste in the art of Church embellishment.”
All the glass is in varying states of deterioration caused naturally by the passage of time and lack of maintenance. Advice tells us that they were seriously under fired originally. Much of the restoration work will involve the replacement of the lead support, which has sagged over many years, and if left unattended will harm or break the actual stained glass.
The Cost of Restoration
The estimate for the restoration of the windows is $158,500. Stonework around the windows will also have to be restored while the windows are out. Vigorous fund raising is being undertaken to support the donations from parishioners and members of the wider community to match the Government grant.
Tax deductible gifts can be made through the National Trust. Please visit the Restoration page for more information about the appeal or to get a donation form.
Andrew Wilkie MHR
The Your Community Heritage grant has been obtained as a result of energetic representation on our behalf to the federal minister by the local federal Member for Denison, Andrew Wilkie. The people of the parish acknowledge Mr Wilkie’s efforts on our behalf and offer our gratitude for his time and interest in our work. We look forward to being able to show the fruits of the work made possible by the grant.

This post is the second in a monthly series of “How It Works” articles that detail the inner workings of motor maintenance services and processes.
Large motors are sophisticated machines, and their failure can be deeply disruptive to the rest of a facility’s operations. Understanding how your motor works — and the preventative and predictive maintenance that can make it work better — can both enhance the life of a motor and decrease its energy consumption.
Rotating Machines and Vibration
Anyone who works with rotating equipment knows that proper alignment and balance are key to its function. Improper dynamic balance — the most frequent type of balance problem — can cause excessive vibration, which in turn can damage the machine. Balance problems can produce:
— Unwanted noise
- — Unnecessary vibration
- — Early bearing wear
- — Structural damage
- — Inefficient operations
- — Equipment failure
- — Unnecessary downtime
- — High repair expenses
Large motors can’t simply be sent back to a manufacturer for fine-tuning, however; the transportation costs and delivery times are too much of an investment, and the potential risk of damaging rotor assemblies during travel is an unnecessary stressor.
In response to this problem, on-site balancing technicians have developed tools and services to bring routine balancing maintenance, and thus optimal machine life, to the motor’s real-time operating environment. By evaluating the motor in its native setup, technicians can compensate for assembly tolerances in gears, couplings and other components, and not to mention, save time for the facility’s operations team.
Dynamic Balancing Tools and Processes
Rotor imbalance is usually resolved at a machine’s startup. An exception to the rule, however, presents itself in variable speed machines, which will show increasing vibration with increasing speed.
If sudden vibration occurs on your motor, first check for:
- — Wear
- — Debris
- — Broken or cracked rotor parts
An on-site technician can further assist your initial assessment by:
- — Balancing installed rotors
- — Balancing with accelerometers, displacement sensors and digital measurements
- — Assessing with the state-of-the-art VIBXPERT II Balancer
- — Analyzing and documenting the process for your records, before and after servicing

Identifying Important Habitat for Spinner Dolphins of east Hawaii
In Fall 2018, TDI launched a new effort to identify important habitat for spinner dolphins found off east Hawaii Island to learn how they use these often rougher coastal areas, and the degree to which the spinner dolphins found in bays and along the east (windward) Hawaii Island are different from those found off the west (leeward) coast. One of the most visible resident dolphin species found off Hawaii, Hawaiian spinner dolphins are nocturnal feeders. To sustain themselves, they spend evening and early morning hours hunting offshore, and then return during daylight to shallow bays, coves and shorelines to rest and socialize. Daytime rest is critical to a spinner dolphin’s overall health and fitness, and may be compromised by chronic disturbance. Unfortunately, in recent years, Hawaiian spinner dolphins have faced increasing pressures in their resting areas from an increase in the number of people seeking close encounters. TDI’s early studies of Hawaiian spinner dolphins focused on identifying how often individual dolphins observed off Oahu’s leeward side were seen in conjunction with human swim encounter activities. We also participated in a collaborative study to identify key features associated with their most oft-used habitat. However, most of these efforts focused on spinners found along leeward or southern shores. Understanding how spinner dolphins use the windward shores of Hawaii Island is critical, especially given that starting in May 2018, lava flows into the sea off east Hawaii dramatically altered the coastline including eliminating some shallow bay areas. TDI will be monitoring dolphin presence and activities using long-term using autonomous underwater acoustic recording devices called “Sound-traps.” These devices sit on the sandy bottom and record the acoustic soundscape. Thus, our goals are to monitor long-term the daily, seasonal and yearly trends in acoustic behavior of Hawaiian spinner dolphins along east Hawaii, and to learn about which bays, coves and coastlines serve as the most important habitat for these animals. While listening for spinners underwater, we will also be launching regular boat-based surveys to photo-identify individual spinners and match these to catalogs of spinners from west Hawaii to better understand the extent to which spinner dolphins observed off east Hawaii are permanent or temporary residents to that area.
Is male humpback song an honest indicator of a male’s fitness and fertility?
One of the most recognizable and well-studied vocalizations among any whale species is the song of humpback whales (click here to hear a singer off Maui). Sung exclusively by males and primarily on breeding grounds, humpback whale song is a complex series of repeated vocalizations (i.e. units) that can range in frequency from 100 Hz to 4 kHz with harmonics extended up to at least 24 kHz, and have amplitudes as high as 174 dB re 1 μPa. In shallow water habitats, humpback whale song may travel as far as 10 km. At any one time within a breeding ground, all singers converge on the same version of the song, although across a season portions of song may change. Song convergence across greater distances and different breeding grounds within the same oceanic basin indicate that song is a culturally transmitted vocalization. Since the start of our humpback whale project by Dr. Louis M. Herman, the quest to understand humpback whale song has been at the forefront of our studies as witnessed from his inaugural proposal of song as part of a lek mating system in which males congregate and display in an area without resources that females visit for mating (Herman and Tavolga, 1980). Since that time, many studies by our laboratory and others have been conducted describing humpback whale song and singing behavior, examined which males sing, and investigated how other humpbacks respond to playback of song (summarized in Herman, 2017). However, despite agreement among scientists that humpback whale song is inextricably linked to the humpback whale mating system, its functions remain a matter of debate. To learn whether the song produced by individual males is an honest display of their fitness and fertility, TDI researchers have been working together with Dr. Marc Lammers, research coordinator for the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary and Founder of Oceanwide Science Institute, in waters off Maui to identify individual singers and examine whether acoustic characteristics of a singer’s song are correlated with his body size and level of testosterone. To obtain all these data, we first deploy a hydrophone from our small boat, listen closely and isolate the song from one singer from the chorus of singers in the neighborhood and use increasing loudness of the song to locate the singer. With the singer located, we first identify it by photographing its tail flukes, which we will later match to our archival catalog to reveal the life history of this whale. Next, two snorkelers carefully enter the water, one equipped with an audio/video system to make calibrated acoustic recordings of the whale’s song and the second equipped with a video camera and hand-held high-frequency sonar device to measure the whale’s body length using an underwater videogrammetric technique developed by TDI researchers. Once the recordings are made and measurements taken, the team returns to the boat and uses a crossbow and arrow with sterile tip to obtain a small biopsy sample from the singer. The sample is frozen and sent to the laboratory of collaborator Dr. Shannon Atkinson of University of Alaska, Fairbanks for processing and measurement of testosterone level. As is evident, to collect full data on each singer is a lengthy process. Thus far, we have analyzed body sizes and acoustic characteristics on seven singer with correlation results looking very promising!
What types of vocalizations do humpback whale mothers and calves use to communicate?
In 1977, TDI’s Dr. Lou Herman and colleague Ron Antinoja published one of the first scientific papers documenting the distribution and behavior of humpback whales in Hawaiian waters. They showed that most humpbacks are found within the 183 meter (600 feet) contour of the main Hawaiian Islands and that mother-calf pairs were often found in even shallower waters. Since then, TDI researchers have shown that mother-calf pairs segregate themselves into shallow waters to avoid energetically costly associations with males seeking mating opportunities, but that their habitat “footprint” extends into deeper waters as a calf ages and grows. Additionally, when in deeper water, they favor areas associated with rugged seabed terrain over flat seabed terrain. Rugged terrain tends to be noisy from snapping shrimp and may thus provide acoustic “camouflage” for mother and calf vocalizations being detected by eavesdropping males. Thus, even in deep waters mothers appear to continue to employ tactics to avoid males. Although mother-calf habitat use has been studied extensively in Hawaiian waters, relatively little is known about their vocalizations in the breeding grounds. To describe and better understand the function of vocalizations of mothers and their calves, TDI researchers, in collaboration with former Ph.D. student Jessica Chang, Dr. Whitlow Au of Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology and Dr. Marc Lammers of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, have been deploying acoustic and data recording suction cup tags on the backs of humpback whale mothers and calves. The tags continuously record whale vocalizations in conjunction with a whale’s depth and geometry in space, thus allowing our researchers to investigate what sounds mothers and calves produce, when and where they vocalize, and if they coordinate their vocalizations with each other. Since 2014, we have successfully deployed 11 tags on seven mothers and four calves as well as on a lone female without a calf and a male in a dyad that left its affiliate and started to sing. Over 60 hours of recordings have been accumulated. Calls recorded from tags on calves and mothers occurred singly or in bouts and were brief compared to male song. Thus far we have identified 381 calls falling into 12 call types with frequency upsweep calls and pulsed calls are most common. The maximum depth reached by tagged mothers and calves was similar at just over 100 m. In our continuing efforts to study humpback whale mother-calf vocalizations, we are striving to deploy tags on both the mother and the calf in the same group to better resolve vocal exchanges between the two. In combination with these data, we will also measure calf size using our videogrammetric technique or alternatively using drone technology to examine calf vocalizations and mother-calf communications as a function of calf age and development.
Does humpback whale fidelity to particular feeding grounds and feeding groups in Southeast Alaska extend over decades?
After spending weeks, and occasionally months, in warm Hawaiian waters engaging in activities related to breeding and calving, North Pacific humpback whales migrate northward to high latitude colder nutrient rich waters off Alaska, the Aleutian Islands and other areas along the North Pacific rim. This journey of several thousand miles will take them into nutrient rich waters where, after fasting in Hawaii, they can feed on swarming krill and small schooling fish such as herring, capelin, and sand lance. In 1980, TDI’s Lou Herman traveled with his family and several students from Hawaii to Southeast Alaska for the first time to document the identities and behaviors of North Pacific humpback whales in their feeding grounds. They found many of the same whales they had seen for years in Hawaiian waters and marveled as they gorged themselves on prey using a variety of hunting tactics. One of these methods involved small groups of whales cooperatively hunting herring. The group would dive below a school of herring and create a ring of bubbles to contain the school. One of the whales then produced a loud trumpet like “feeding call.” After several bouts of the call, the bubble ring appeared at the surface and a few seconds later the whale burst through with mouths agape and filled with herring. From 1980-1987, Dr. Herman and his students and colleagues demonstrated the high fidelity of humpbacks between Hawaii and various feeding areas in Alaskan waters. They also documented the same whales joining together across summers to feed cooperatively on herring schools. Between 1988-2006, TDI researchers focused their studies exclusively on humpbacks in Hawaiian waters. However, in 2007, TDI’s Adam Pack joined forces with Captain Dennis Rogers in Petersburg, Alaska to reinitiate TDI’s Alaska whale research in conjunction with a program enabling participants to assist in the work. The goals of these new studies are to examine the extent to which the same whales documented in the 1980’s would be found again in the same Alaskan waters, to investigate long-term associations in cooperative feeding groups, and to see whether any of these associations persisted on the Hawaiian breeding grounds. Thus far, well over 1000 humpbacks have been identified in the waters of Frederick Sound, Alaska and its various straits and inlets. Many of these whales are seen annually and are also archived in TDI’s long-term database from Alaska and Hawaii. The research has also revealed several “core groups” of whales that appear to come together annually to hunt herring cooperatively and in several instances adopt the same behavioral roles in these teams. In 2015, Pack and colleagues recognized and photographed a whale they called “Old Timer.” With a span between first and last sighting of 44 years, the archival record revealed this whale to have the longest resighting span of any in the world. Future work will continue to trace the life histories of Hawaii’s humpbacks in waters off southeast Alaska and the nature of their long-term associations. We are also collaborating with other whale researchers in Alaska including Dr. Shannon Atkinson and Kelly Cates from University of Alaska Fairbanks to collect biopsy samples from females in Alaska to determine rates of pregnancy, and from males to explore how their testosterone levels vary and whether testosterone increases are associated with song production towards the end of the feeding season.

The first influenza pandemic of the new millennium was caused by a newly emerged swine-origin influenza virus (SOIV) (H1N1). This new virus is characterized by a previously unknown constellation of gene segments derived from North American and Eurasian swine lineages and the absence of common markers predictive of human adaptation. Overall, human infections appeared to be mild, but an alarming number of young individuals presented with symptoms atypical for seasonal influenza. The new SOIV also showed a sustained human-to-human transmissibility and higher reproduction ratio than common seasonal viruses, altogether indicating a higher pathogenic potential for this newly emerged virus. To study the virulence of the SOIV, we used a recently established cynomolgus macaque model and compared parameters of clinical disease, virology, host responses, and pathology/histopathology with a current seasonal H1N1 virus. We here show that infection of macaques with two genetically similar but clinically distinct SOIV isolates from the early stage of the pandemic (A/Mexico/4108/2009 and A/Mexico/InDRE4487/2009) resulted in upper and lower respiratory tract infections and clinical disease ranging from mild to severe pneumonia that was clearly advanced over the mild infection caused by A/Kawasaki/UTK-4/2009, a current seasonal strain. Unexpectedly, we observed heterogeneity among the two SOIV isolates in virus replication, host transcriptional and cytokine responses, and disease progression, demonstrating a higher pathogenic potential for A/Mexico/InDRE4487/2009. Differences in virulence may explain more severe disease, as was seen with certain individuals infected with the emerged pandemic influenza virus. Thus, the nonhuman primate model closely mimics influenza in humans.

Digital advertising is faster to market market conditions and trends change quickly, and that requires nimble marketing. Lead times for traditional advertising methods are so 1990s. Between the time it takes to create an ad, to the long lead times to buy time or space, your message and your budget suffer from being into a design that was months before it will see the light of day. Digital campaigns can be much more quickly, and they can be on the fly if . Consider that as recently as april, subway was touting a new ad campaign with its long-time spokesman.

Taxes in Retirement – How Can You Get More from Your Money
Taxes can have an impact on you throughout most of your life. That’s because tax is often due on the purchases that you make, as well as on the income you earn and on the profit that you make from various investments. In many cases, taxes are even due on the assets of a person who dies.
So, it stands to reason that taxes will likely be present on the income that you receive when you retire. But to what extent could Uncle Sam reduce your net spendable retirement income? The answer has to do with how much retirement income you receive and where that income is generated from.
How Much Can Taxes Impact Your Net Spendable Income in Retirement?
Most retirees receive income from more than just one source. These lifetime income generators could include one or more of the following:
- Social Security
- Employer-sponsored pension
- Dividends and/or interest from personal investments
In some cases, this income will be subject to federal income tax and possibly state income tax, too. Unfortunately, nobody knows what income tax rates will be in the future. So, it can be difficult to determine exactly how much you will owe.
Over the past century or so, the amount of the top Federal income tax rate has fluctuated a great deal, from a low of just 7% to a high of 94%. In fact, just since the year 1913, this rate has been in excess of 70% forty-nine times.
So, if your retirement income is affected, would you be able to live on less than half of what you bring in from your investments and other income generators?
Top Federal Income Tax Rates 1913 – 2021
Source: Inside Gov
Which Retirement Income Generation Sources are Taxable?
Some – or even all – of the guaranteed retirement income that you generate may be taxable. For instance, if you contributed money into various savings plans on a pre-tax basis – and the gains in the account(s) were also tax-deferred – then none of this income has been subject to income tax yet. Therefore, 100% of the withdrawals from these plans will be taxable.
Typically, the following retirement income sources will be taxed to some extent:
- Pension income
- Tax-deferred investments (such as traditional IRAs, traditional 401k plans, traditional 401b plans)
- Gains/profits from personal savings and investments
- Income from a personal annuity (in this case, the portion of the income that represents any gain will be taxable, and the portion that represents a return of your principal will be tax-free)
- Income from a qualified annuity (oftentimes, funds from a traditional IRA and/or employer-sponsored retirement plan will be rolled into an annuity. If none of these funds have been subject to tax yet, then 100% of the withdrawals will be taxable as ordinary income at the then-current rates)
You may be surprised to learn that some of your Social Security retirement income could also be taxable. This is typically the case if you have other “substantial” income – such as wages from a part- or full-time job, dividends and/or interest from investments, and/or other funds that need to be reported on your annual tax return – in addition to your Social Security retirement benefits.
The amount that your Social Security benefits are taxed will depend on a couple of key factors, including the:
- Amount of other income you receive
- The way you file your income tax return
Social Security uses a figure that is referred to as your “combined income” to determine how much of your benefits will be taxable (if any). Your combined income is determined by taking your adjusted gross income and adding any non-taxable interest and one-half of your Social Security benefits.
Adjusted Gross Income
½ of your Social Security benefits
As an example, in 2021, if you file your federal income tax return as an individual, and your combined income is:
- Between $25,000 and $34,000, you may have to pay income tax on up to 50% of your benefits
- More than $34,000, then up to 85% of your Social Security benefits may be subject to federal income tax
If you instead file a joint income tax return, and you and your spouse have combined income, that is:
- Between $32,000 and $44,000, you may incur federal income tax on up to 50% of your Social Security retirement benefits
- More than $44,000, then up to 85% of your benefits could be taxable
The rate of income tax that is due on your retirement income will depend on the amount of income you earn and how you file your federal income tax return (such as individual, head of household, married filing jointly, qualifying widow, or married filing separately.
2021 Income Tax Brackets and Rates
|Rate||Unmarried Individuals||Married Individuals Filing Jointly||Head of Household|
|10%||Up to $9,950||Up to $19,900||Up to $14,200|
|12%||$9,951 to $40,525||$19,901 to $81,050||$14,201 to $54,200|
|22%||$40,526 to $86,375||$81,051 to $172,750||$54,201 to $86,350|
|24%||$86,376 to $164,925||$172,751 to $329,850||$86,351 to $164,900|
|32%||$164,926 to $209,425||$329,851 to $418,850||$64,901 to $209,400|
|35%||$209,426 to $523,600||$418,851 to $628,300||$209,401 to $523,600|
|37%||Over $523,600||Over $628,300||Over $523,600|
Source: Internal Revenue Service
Short-term capital gains tax rates on most assets that are held for less than one year correspond to ordinary income tax rates. However, long-term capital gains tax rates, which apply to assets held for more than one year, are also dependent on the amount of income you earn in a given year and how you file your tax return.
Long-Term Capital Gains Tax Rates (in 2021)
|Tax Rate||Single||Head of Household||Married Filing Jointly||Married Filing Separately|
|0%||$0 – $40,000||$0 – $54,100||$0 – $80,000||$0 – $40,000|
|15%||$40,001 – $445,850||$54,101 – $473,750||$80,001 – $501,600||$40,001 – $250,800|
|20%||$445,851 or more||$473,751 or more||$501,601 or more||$250,801 or more|
Use this long-term capital gains calculator to estimate your after-tax investment gains, and in turn, the amount of tax you may owe.
In addition to federal income tax, you could also be subject to state income taxes. In fact, only Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming levy no personal income tax (in 2020). Two other states – New Hampshire and Tennessee – do not tax wages (but they do tax investment income and interest).
There are 12 states that tax Social Security benefits (in 2020). These are:
- New Mexico
- North Dakota
- Rhode Island
- West Virginia
How to Reduce – or Even Eliminate – the Amount of Income Tax You’re Subject to in Retirement
Because nobody knows what income tax rates will be in the future, it is wise to plan ahead so that you can reduce as much income as possible that is exposed to taxation. One tax-reduction strategy is to take advantage of the Roth IRA.
While the contributions that go into a Roth account have already been subject to tax, the gains in the account are tax-free, as are the withdrawals. This is the case, regardless of what the then-current income tax rates are.
The maximum annual contribution to a Roth IRA (in 2021) is $6,000 for those aged 49 and younger and $7,000 for those aged 50 and over. It is also possible to roll funds from a traditional IRA or retirement account into a Roth IRA. Although the transaction will be taxable at that time, it could end up saving you a great deal of tax liability in the future when you make your withdrawals.
There are some income limits that apply, though, so not everyone will qualify to open a Roth IRA. However, there are also some strategies available that can still allow higher-income earners to fund this type of tax-advantaged IRA.
Discussing your particular situation and objectives with a retirement financial advisor can help you to move more easily through the process. If you have any questions regarding retirement income taxation or looking for strategies to reduce your income tax liability in the future, please contact us directly and speak with an income specialist.

After 50 worshippers were murdered in Christchurch and last year saw more than 800 attacks on Muslims in Germany, calls for an Islamophobia commissioner are growing. An anti-Semitism commissioner took office in 2018.
After it was revealed that a white supremacist who killed 50 worshippers in New Zealand last month had links to far-right groups in Europe; calls have intensified for Germany to create a government post to combat Islamophobia. A recent report found that there were 813 Islamophobic crimes counted in Germany in 2018. That's a slight fall from the number of attacks recorded in 2017. But many see that number as conservative because a lot of "run-of-the-mill attacks, insults and discrimination ... are not even recorded," said Ulla Jelpke, the Left party's domestic affairs spokesperson in the Bundestag.
German authorities only started collecting figures on specifically anti-Islamic crimes in 2017.
'Attacking and inciting'
More than 1,000 anti-Semitic crimes were recorded in the first nine months of 2018. In that case, underreporting is being addressed with cooperation from the recently appointed anti-Semitism commissioner, Felix Klein.
Since the Nazi era, German officials have worked to publicly fight anti-Semitic attacks, but the commission was not created until 2018, in response to a rise in attacks as Germany also adopted a broader definition of anti-Semitism that some interpreted to include criticism of Israel. Klein's new office could be a model for the representative that Abdul Samad Yazidi, secretary-general of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany (ZMD), wants.
"Anti-Semitism is unacceptable in society and attacking and inciting Muslims is also unacceptable," Yazidi told DW. "We reject any part of German society being threatened, be they Jews, Muslims, blacks, women or homosexuals," he said.
Aiman Mazyek, head of the ZMD, told the newspaper Osnabrücker Zeitung that such a representative is more necessary than ever because of latent anti-Muslim sentiment in Germany. "We need a public discussion around this problem," he told the paper. "Every attack on a minority is an attack on democracy."
The notion has its detractors, among them Ralph Ghadban, a frequent commentator on issues surrounding Islam and immigration. He told DW that a 2006 law against discrimination is "quite enough." Ghadban said the proposal could have a chilling effect on free speech because it may limit his right to criticize religion. Yazidi said, however, that the current law did not suffice. "We accept criticism," he said. "Islam totally depends on critical thinking. But when it turns into systematic aggression, assault, and verbal and physical attacks just because a person is a Muslim, this is unacceptable because it is incitement and must be rejected by German society," he said. Muslims have a right to be protected from attacks, he added. "We, too, are Germans, we do not hate ourselves, we are part of German society, we love Germany, and we consider ourselves part of its cultural makeup."
Hatred that poisons
At the heart of the debate over whether Germany needs this type of representative is the question of how to open up a dialogue about Islamophobia and to what extent it should be recognized.
When 25-year-old law student Mulla Cetin launched a petition for a new commission in 2018, his aim was to draw attention to what he saw as a rising hatred in Germany. His petition cited a report claiming more than half of non-Muslims saw Islam as a threat. Cetin said anti-Muslim hostility "affects us all. It is a hatred that poisons the social climate in our country and divides people. In turn, a hatred that increasingly manifests itself in violent attacks, is a major threat to our society, its cohesion and democracy," the petition said.

Ambiantspace is a video work exploring the effects of emergent media on the imagination through the translucent layering of imagery. The work presents spatial paradigms as examples of significant spaces. Just as perspective changed our perception last century so new technologies are now reshaping our presence in world. The work documents a variety of residual spaces not as material representation of the new cyberspace but as significant symbols that have been composited to deconstruct traditional perspectival rhetoric. The work introduces a mimetic body that is created out of captured media fragments through a process of merging residual spaces. The 'Ambiantspace' project is not aimed at using the perspectival paradigm as a platform to present new media image, or understanding of itself. Rather it proposes a new paradigm that allows for the possible objectifications of spatial reconfigurations of perception occurring with new technologies, which is the principle area of research in this project. This work took part of the footage from Ambiance and reworked it into one hundred and twenty short video clips. Each one of these clips was related to a piece of text again from the Ambiance work. The one hundred and twenty video clips where then selected into twelve categories which I have called chapters. Each of the chapters lasts for 10 minutes so the whole work is two hours in length. I took the sound from the video, which I then mixed, together in 5:1 surround sound to complement the experience of the space.

Backstitch is generally used to outline areas of colour using less strands of thread than for the cross stitches.
The backstitch can be added by drawing between any two points on the canvas or by using the automatic backstitch tool. The automatic tool will add backstitch around an existing cross stitch design by following the outline of an area of colour.
The printout can show backstitch as coloured or black lines or as a line of tiny symbols to allow easier identification using the standard symbol key.
The program allows adding of backstitch in all the colours available for cross stitch. Stitches can start and end on any grid line so there is no limit to the angle.

This is a beaker. It was probably Harry Powell and James Crofts Powell and manufactured by James Powell & Sons. It is dated 1890–1910 and we acquired it in 2009. Its medium is glass. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
In 1834, James Powell, a successful wine merchant, purchased Whitefriars Glass, a glassworks that had been in existence since the 17th century. Soon after, Powell became deeply involved in an era of critical examination of design in Britain.
A year after Powell’s entrée into glassmaking, the government established the Select Committee on Arts and Manufactures due to widespread concern over the quality of British manufactured goods in comparison with foreign, and especially French, imports. The committee’s report, published in 1836, resulted in the formation of national schools of design that exist to the present day. These schools aimed to compete with those on the continent, emphasizing quality over quantity with a focus on domestic wares. Because Powell was well-versed in foreign taste and production, his glassworks quickly gained a reputation for producing high quality work both from a design and technical point of view.
The firm broadened its success when it was awarded a prize for its “fine crystal glass” at the Great Exhibition of 1851. Following Apsley Pellatt’s much lauded “Anglo-Venetian” glass at the Great Exhibition, Powell looked to Venetian glass, especially of the 16th and 17th centuries, as a source of inspiration. Powell turned away from cut glass per John Ruskin’s dicta: "all cut glass is barbarous”—a statement that would resonate throughout the world of art nouveau glass later in the century. Powell’s new direction was also inspired by Ruskin’s observation of glass’s “ductility when heated and its transparency when cold.”
It was Powell’s association in the late 1850s with the pre-Raphaelite artists, such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Morris, which led to the profound changes that mark the best of Powell glass: its creative design and execution of forms and coloration. The pre-Raphaelite maxims of “truth to nature” and “honesty of purpose” were highly influential during this period. Powell, in its commitment to “truth to materials,” introduced soda glass as a replacement for lead glass, which enabled the firm to create paper-thin objects decorated with fragile, applied threads of glass.
Harry Powell, James Powell’s grandson, attended Ruskin’s Oxford lectures as an undergraduate in the 1870s and wrote Glass-making in England (1923), in which he attributes the contributions of Venetian-born Jacob Verzelini in late 16th-century London to the advancement of English glass production. The combination of his chemistry studies at Oxford and his own artistic talent made Harry an ideal designer for the firm, enabling him to understand both the artistic and technical aspects of the medium. It was Harry who, as a third generation in the business with his older cousin James Crofts Powell, began to assume responsibility for the firm in the 1870s.
Harry was influenced by his cousin’s sketches (1889) from Dutch museums of both glass and paintings. Some of the sketches were directly translated into production while other designs were based on composites. This historical interest resulted in a series in the 1890s designed by Harry, called Glasses with Histories. This beaker is example of Powell’s use of specific historical forms. The beaker shows a German-style glass with a manner of glassmaking based on Venetian techniques and a slightly abstract adaptation of the protruding prunt decoration found on early German examples.
This piece is one of seven Powell glass pieces proposed for acquisition. As an ensemble, they enable us to examine the creative range of James Powell and Sons from the 1870s through 1930, which includes the 1890–1910 period when Harry Powell was the chief designer at the firm. The interrelationships of James Powell and Sons with many of the leading designers of the day make the work of the firm, under Harry’s leadership, a significant force in British design. The simultaneous use of historic sources with contemporary concepts is valuable to the museum’s exploration of the design continuum. These would be the first examples of Powell glass in the museum’s collection.

“MVRDV’s stunning facade for Bulgari’s flagship store in Shanghai, China, is designed to look like the building has a luxurious jade finish, however the glowing green exterior actually has far humbler origins: the firm created it using recycled glass bottles.
Bulgari Shanghai (the name is stylized Bvlgari) is located in a major shopping area in the bustling Chinese city. Its interior measures 274 sq m (almost 3,000 sq ft), with display tables showing off Bulgari’s luxury wares, such as expensive jewelry and watches. However, MVRDV’s focus was very much on the outside of the building with this project.
The firm drew inspiration from Bulgari’s original store in Rome, as well as Art Deco design, to try and create a facade that resembles jade, which is obviously a very important precious stone in Chinese culture. It took a mixture of green, white, and transparent champagne bottles, as well as beer bottles and other types, which were melted down and pressed into panels and cut into the correct shapes in a specialist factory in Germany. They were then transported to Shanghai and mounted onto the exterior of the building. A gold-colored brass trim is meant to reinforce the appearance of a piece of jade jewelry and a backlight is installed to make it glow at night.
“The panels are made of compressed green glass, a unique material effect that creates a translucent finish,” explains MVRDV. “At night, a backlight behind the panels gives the facade a striking glow, highlighting the unique textural quality of the glass. The glass is completely recycled, produced at the Magna factory in Teutschenthal, Germany, which specializes in glass treatment. The project demonstrates the potential of sustainable recycled materials, even in luxury contexts, and takes one step towards MVRDV and Bulgari’s goal of store designs that are built using 100 percent circular economy materials. Meanwhile the backlight is engineered to minimize the facade’s energy footprint, using less than half the energy of a typical comparable installation.”….

Robust and efficient coverage paths for autonomous agricultural vehicles
The coverage path planning problem (CPP) aims to create a path to cover an area with one or several vehicles. CPP has many application as cleaning robots, surveillance, de-mining or agriculture. Each of the application has its own requirements. For example, in cleaning robots environment is usually unknown and the objective is improve the probability of cover the area. On the other hand, CPP in agriculture knows the area to cover, but the coverage has to be complete.
Fields2Cover library provides several algorithms to plan the coverage path on convex fields:
Although the development of this project is focused on offline planning of agricultural vehicles, the library accepts pull requests from other types of coverage planners.
There are many CPP papers out there, but almost no code about their implementation. Due to this, research about this topic is slow as you need to implement every algorithm you want to compare with.
Fields2Cover provides a flexible structure and several algorithms to compare with, so any developer can research about this topic easily.
The Fields2Cover package has only been tested on Ubuntu 20.04. If you are able to run it in other operative systems, open an issue/PR and it will be added to this guide
Requirements on Linux
Some packages are needed before compiling the package:
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ubuntugis/ppa sudo apt-get -y update sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends build-essential ca-certificates cmake \ doxygen g++ git libeigen3-dev libgdal-dev libpython3-dev python3 python3-pip \ python3-matplotlib lcov libgtest-dev python -m pip install gcovr
First, clone this repository. Then, from the main folder of the project:
cd build; cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..; make -j$(nproc); sudo make install;
Add it to your projects
To add Fields2Cover into your CMakeLists.txt, it is as easy as:
find_package(Fields2Cover REQUIRED) target_link_libraries(<<<your_package>>> Fields2Cover)
If you find any issue/bug/proposal, open an issue and we will try to solve/discuss it.
Pull requests are more than welcome. For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change. Please make sure to update tests as appropriate.
Fields2Cover project is under BSD-3 license.
- Create SWIG interface with Python/Lua/R
- Support Route planners with metaheuristics
- Support non-convex fields
- Consider the start and end point of the vehicle
This code repository is part of the project Fields2Cover which is (partly) financed by the Dutch Research Council (NWO).

FAQs on Concussion Management
A concussion is also known as a mild traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the skull. A concussion is one of the most common injuries in all contact sports and motor vehicle accidents. A person who has experienced a concussion may experience a number of symptoms that range from headaches and nausea to dizziness, balance problems, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, and sleep difficulties. While many people make a full recovery after suffering a concussion injury, symptoms can last for months or even years.
Anyone who has suffered a head injury in a sport or in an accident should benefit from seeking treatment for a concussion. A concussion can result in headaches, dizziness, nausea, impaired judgment and coordination, emotional instability, and memory loss. The physical symptoms of concussions may appear immediately or develop over time. It is important to seek medical advice after a concussion and to treat concussions properly since they can have effects that last long after the incident occurred.
Signs of a concussion injury may include dizziness, fatigue, loss of consciousness, nausea, headache, difficulty concentrating, poor balance or coordination, problems with speech, reduced function, and problems with sleeping. These symptoms may take up to seven days or longer to appear. If you or someone you know suffers these symptoms after a head injury, seek medical advice immediately.
At Encompass, concussion treatment is charged the same as regular physiotherapy appointments for the initial visits and follow-up appointments.
Yes. Concussion management is covered by all the major personal health insurance plans as it falls under the title of physiotherapy services.
The usual duration of an appointment for concussion treatment is 60 minutes for an inital appoinment and 30 minutes for the follow-up appointment. For the initial appointment, our physiotherapist will perform a thorough assessment of the client with the concussion injury, will discuss the findings with the client, develop a treatment plan in accordance with the client’s goals, utilize treatment techniques, and create an individual exercise program for the client to do at their own at home.

Shared space: regulation, technology and legal education in a global context
The LETR Report on legal services education and training (LSET), published in June 2013, is the most recent of a series of reports dealing with legal education in England and Wales. Earlier reports do not deal directly with technology theory and use in legal education, though the use of technology has increased exponentially in recent decades in all areas of social activity, not just in legal education and the administration of justice. LETR does deal with technology use and theory, however, and its position is comparable with at least two reports from other jurisdictions internationally, with the findings of two large-scale projects in legal education and has parallels with the regulation of the quality of legal education in another jurisdiction in these isles.
In this article I set out that position and contrast it with regulatory positions and statements on technology and legal education in England and Wales going back to the 1971 Ormrod Report. Based on a review not just of technological implementations but of the theoretical educational and regulatory literatures, I shall argue that the concept of multi-modal regulation and ‘shared space’ outlined in the Report is a valuable tool for the development of technology in education and for the direction of educational theory, but particularly for the development of regulation of technology in legal education at every level.
Keywords: LETR; regulation; legal education; digital technology; shared space; multi-modal regulation
EJLT is an open access journal, aiming to disseminate academic work and perspectives as widely as possible to the benefit of the author and the author’s readers. It is the assumption of the EJLT that authors who publish in the journal wish their work to be available as freely and as widely as possible through the open access publishing channel.
Authors who publish with EJLT will retain copyright and moral rights in the underlying work but will grant all users the rights to copy, store and print for non-commercial use copies of their work. Commercial mirroring may also be carried out with the consent of the journal. The work must remain as published – without redaction or editing – and must clearly state the identity of the author and the originating EJLT url of the article. Any commercial use of the author’s work - apart from mirroring - requires the permission of the author and any aspects of the article which are the property of EJLT (e.g. typographical format) requires permission from EJLT.
Authors can sometimes become no longer contactable (through, for example, death or retirement). If this occurs, any rights in the work will pass to the European Journal of Law and Technology which will continue to make the work available in as wide a manner as possible to achieve the aims of open access and ensuring that an author's work continues to be available. An author - or their estate - can recover these rights from EJLT by providing contact information.
The European Journal of Law and Technology holds rights in format, publication and dissemination.
EJLT, as a non-commercial organisation - which receives donations to allow it to continue publishing – must retain information on reader access to journal articles. This means that we will not give permission to mirror the journal unless we can be provided with full details as to reader access to each and every journal article. We prefer and encourage deep linking rather than mirroring. Encouragement is thus given for all users – commercial and non-commercial – to provide indexes and links to articles in the EJLT where the index or link points to the location of the article on the EJLT server, rather than to stored copies on other servers.
Please contact the European Journal of Law and Technology if you are in any doubt as to what this statement of use covers.

It’s not very often that I have time to be bored. However, when I do find one of those rare moments when boredom sets in, it’s insanely hard to get out of that funk and find ways to keep from being bored. Have you ever felt the same? If so, keep this blog post in your back pocket for next time! Here are creative ideas to keep from being bored (or get out of that weird boredom funk!) –
Learn a new skill
Have you ever considered learning a new skill? There are so many different skill sets that you could learn how to do. Doing the same thing every day can get boring and sap your zest for life. While trying something new requires more effort than turning on the TV, the benefits are numerous. For one, it can definitely boost your happiness, because you feel yourself growing. It can also boost your overall health, too, because as you learn a new skill, it will definitely help improve your overall brain health. Depending on what the skill is, it can also help improve physical health, as well. With your new skill, you could help people (more on this in a minute), and a new skill could also help you improve happiness and give you more daily motivation, too. I mean, think about it. Learning a new language, practicing an instrument, or tending to an herb garden can give you energy, joy, and a sense of purpose. Especially after the past couple of years where so many people have struggled!
Create a business opportunity
With that new skill that you learned (or with a skill that you already had), create a business opportunity for yourself and help others while you are at it. Maybe you have a gift with kids and/or animals. Set up a babysitting or petsitting business. SO many parents (yes, pet parents too) would be very appreciative of the help, and you would make some extra cash that can go towards groceries, other expenses, or more fun things like vacations, clothes, or whatever else you love. Creating a business opportunity for yourself is the perfect way to keep from being bored. In fact, you don’t know how big things might get, so you might eventually help someone else from being bored by hiring more people on your team. You never know what the future holds and the possibilities are endless!
Make a fun change in life
Sometimes, all you need to keep yourself from being bored is to make a fun change in life. This change could be a huge change or a small change – as long as it inspires you, brings you closer to ultimate happiness, and brings new opportunities your way, that is a GREAT change to make. Sometimes, change can be scary and it can push you to limits that you didn’t know existed, but if you push past the scary moments, so much good can come out of changes in your life. Plus, you don’t have to do it all on your own. You have people to lean on! For example, if you are making a big change by moving, get help from friends and family members. You’ll already have help from a great agent and moving team (or if you don’t, definitely get them!). If you don’t know where to start, start with reviews. With Star City Services, you can rest easy no matter if they are doing local moving or Roanoke long-distance moving. They have the experience, the good reviews, and the can-do attitude to get it all done with ease!
Read a book or listen to a podcast
Reading a book and/or listening to podcasts can do two things: it can save you from being bored in the minute AND it can get you interested in other projects, which will save you from boredom long-term, as well. You can learn so much from reading and from listening to podcasts and I truly believe that if you read and listen to the *right* things, you can grow so much from them, as well.
Oh, this is one of my top recommendations for pretty much anything. There is so much to do outside and there are so many benefits, as well. Did you know that going outside is an instant mood booster? It can help reduce stress, increase happiness, and it can help get you active, as well, which benefits both mental and physical health. Get outside and garden, go on a walk, or even just swing.
Meet up with a friend
Last but not least, meet up with a friend! Everyone could use some social time – it is so important to connect. Go on a walk, go out to lunch or dinner, just have fun. You deserve it!

Many have asked the difference between the different types of drinking water filters they could use in their homes, at work, or at school.
- Typically used to soften hard water (water containing excessive amounts of calcium and/or magnesium) by ‘trading’ minerals with a strong positive charge for those with a weaker positive charge.
- Often referred to as ‘water softeners’.
- You will find most systems of these water hardness treatment systems functioning as whole-house water filtration systems.
- These systems effectively remove calcium and magnesium (water hardness) which can build up and leave depositis in plumbing and faucet fixtures over time. Water softeners can also remove contaminants such as barium which can cause health problems in humans.

Fine China, porcelain, ceramics and any similar material can be repaired extremely well with Miracle Glue. Usually it is as simple as putting a thin bead along one side and putting the two pieces together.
Make sure any dust or bits are brushed off the surface you are going to glue. Practice first putting the two pieces together before you apply the adhesive. Apply Miracle Glue to one surface. A thin bead will be plenty. Any that squeezes out, leave. Once it has solidified a bit, you can scrape off the excess with an Exacto knife or something similar.
If you are trying to glue something very porous like terra cotta or clay or plaster you will loose most of the glue into the material unless you dampen the surface first. I’ll use a damp cloth or mist from a spray bottle to moisten both surfaces. Wipe off any excess and apply the glue. Full cure time is 3-6 hours. Once fully cured dishes are safe in the dishwasher.
Glass. Glass is a different thing. You need a very clean surface and a perfect fit. If there are chips of glass missing resulting in an imperfect fit, the bond may not be that good. Either way once you have glued something glass together it won’t do as well in a dishwasher or microwave.

While seeing original stories is great, no-one can deny the appeal of TV shows that are adaptations of an existing story. Whether that’s a best-selling novel, a beloved comic book, a cult film or an intriguing biography, it seems like everyone wins with an adaptation: Producers get a built-in audience and fans get another exploration of the characters they love.
But just how strong is this benefit?
We decided to look at this question by taking the 100 most in-demand titles over the summer in the US and analyzing these based on the source material they were adapted from. The categories for sources is as follows:
- Fiction works like novels, short stories, etc.
- Books of non-fiction like biographies
- “Western” comics
- Manga, or Asian comics
- Movie adaptations and shows set in film universes
- TV shows adapted from videogames
- Finally, series that weren’t adapted at all and are original to TV.
We’re only considering the original source of the adaptation; if a work was a novel, then a film, then a videogame of the film and finally made into a TV show, then we’re counting it as “fiction”!
We’ll start by seeing just what the most common types of adaptation are in the US top 100:
It turns out that the most common type of show by far is those that are original to the television as there are 4 times more of these than the most popular type of adaptation!
The most common type of adaptation is novels or other literary works of fiction, with 15 such TV shows in the list. These include some of the best-known shows around like HBO’s Game Of Thrones, Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why and Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale.
Following this is works adapted from comics, with 13 examples of these in-demand in the US. Titles range from the super heroics of Marvel and DC shows like ABC’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. and The CW’s Legends Of Tomorrow to grittier fare like AMC’s Preacher.
Movies are the next biggest source of adaptations, comprising 5 entries in the top 100. This category fits in shows such as A&E’s Psycho-based Bates Motel and MTV’s Teen Wolf, based on the film of the same name.
Manga inspires a lot of popular anime series like Attack On Titan (aired on Adult Swim in the US), 4 of which are popular enough in the US to make this list. There’s a single nonfiction entry in this list as Netflix’s Orange Is The New Black is based on an autobiography. Finally, Netflix’s Castlevania is the sole show that was based on a videogame.
Next, let’s investigate how this changes in the top 100 shows for some other countries. Picking Brazil and Germany as our two examples, this next chart shows how the makeup by adaptation source changes compared to the US numbers:
The exact composition of the titles in the list in each country changed a lot: across all three of the top 100s there were 112 shows that were unique to just one country. Despite this, the proportion of each adaptation type stayed reasonably steady across the board, with the biggest change for any category being only 3 shows.
From this, we learn that:
- The US is the only country that had a videogame based tv show in its top 100 shows; neither Germany or Brazil liked Castlevania enough for it to rank.
- Germany had more original shows than the US, as well as more shows based on fiction. However, shows adapted from manga and comics were less popular.
- Compared to the US, the Brazilian love of telenovelas and anime drove gains in the original and manga categories respectively. However, the country was less enthused about comic and movie based shows.
- Nonfiction remained the same across all three countries, with the same show appearing in each top 100 (Orange Is The New Black).
Let’s dive deeper into the data now and examine how each adaptation type compares when average demand is considered:
One source is very consistent across countries: the appeal of fiction adaptations is almost identical in all three countries. Fiction demand is not only consistent but the second highest of all sources. This indicates that TV shows that are adaptations of fiction are the most consistently popular.
The highest average demand for a source is for comic adaptations. The highest demand in this category is a little surprising, as Brazil has the highest average demand of all countries even though it had less shows in its top 100 than the US.
Average demand for original shows is about the same for the US and Germany but decreases slightly in Brazil. This is likely due to the high proportion of telenovelas in the Brazilian top 100; as shows are continuously airing, telenovelas sustain a high average consistently, but lack the big demand peaks of season-based dramas.
Movies and manga show comparatively large variations between countries, but these categories have very small sample sizes, given that this analysis only considers 100 shows, so this is likely to be simply a direct result of demand for the specific shows charting in each country.
As they only have a single data point at most, nonfiction and videogame adaptations have been excluded.
By the numbers then, if you’re a TV producer and you want to adapt a show you should probably pick a novel or comic. However, the beauty of the creative industry is that really, any individual show can be a breakout hit regardless of what the averages say!
In fact, we’re likely to keep seeing adaptations from not just these sources, but potentially new forms of media in the future as the industry searches for the next big blockbuster.

Oyster Shell Purse:
It’s the Victorian era, imagine you’re on a golden beach with the sun beaming down on you. Listening to the tide coming in and out as the seagulls cry. During this time, oyster shell purses were all the rage. These souvenirs were items that were sold for tourists on many pleasurable seaside resorts. The hinges are what holds this purse together and the oyster has been converted by the interior fabric. This allows it to be strong and stay together despite it looking like a very fragile item.
The purse is as shiny and precious as the pearls that were once inside the oyster. The hinges are what gives the purse its Victorian-esque finesse, the circular clip is carved from a single flower in the centre of the delicate oysters. The metal hinges are engraved with a filigree design (very fancy!) and a small clip that closes the purse securely. Your money won’t be falling out of this purse anytime soon!

The bill passed the House and Senate earlier in the day with a bipartisan vote.
Government funding had been set to expire at midnight, but Democratic congressional leaders, who control both chambers of Congress, had projected confidence that the government would remain open.
“Some good news — today the Senate will pass a continuing resolution that will eliminate the possibility of a government shutdown tonight,” Schumer said in floor remarks Thursday morning.
In addition to funding the government until December 3, the stopgap bill will “provide funding to help process and resettle Afghan refugees and finally deliver on critical disaster aid for Americans battered by storms and wildfires this summer,” the majority leader said.
October 18: The government reaches its borrowing limit, which could trigger a first-ever US default and a self-inflicted economic crisis if the US is unable to pay all its bills on time. It could delay federal payments, including Social Security checks and monthly child tax credit payments.
Congressional Democrats initially attempted to address the government funding issue alongside the debt limit, a strategy that was thwarted by Republicans in the Senate who have insisted that Democrats must act alone on the debt limit.
In staving off a shutdown by passing a “clean” stopgap bill, lawmakers punt the debt limit issue further down the road with another key deadline fast approaching.
Democrats do have the option to raise the debt limit on their own using a process known as budget reconciliation, but they have argued that route is too risky and would risk a default, leaving it unclear how the issue will be resolved.
This story and headline have been updated to reflect additional developments Thursday.

It is a large deciduous tree growing to 20–35 m tall with a trunk up to 2 m diameter, with a tall, domed crown. The bark is smooth and pale grey on young trees, becoming thick and vertically fissured on old trees. The leaves are 20–35 cm long, pinnate compound, with 7-13 leaflets, the leaflets 3–12 cm long and 0.8–3 cm broad. The leaves are often among the last to open in spring, and the first to fall in autumn if an early frost strikes; they have no marked autumn colour, ofte falling dull green.
In the 13th century Edda and other writing relating to Norse mythology, a mythological ash tree called ............. serves as the center of the world. Its roots were anchored in the abyss of the underworld, and watered by the streams of wisdom and faith. Its trunk was supported by the earth, while its crown touched the arc of heaven.
It is a medium-sized wildcat.They have short tails and characteristic
tufts of black hair on the tip of their ears.
What do we call this curious animal?

Six years ago, I published an article which asked the question; IS THERE A FUTURE FOR THE GHANAIAN GOSPEL MUSIC? I recounted the challenges the industry was facing then and how it can position itself to take on the world stage if its actors took the scientific management approach a bit more serious. Four years after that, I published an article that narrated the genealogy of the Ghanaian gospel music and the journey it took to arrive at what we describe today as contemporary Gospel music. In the article titled "The journey to contemporary gospel music in Ghana", I further discussed the influencing factors that have shaped what we hear today as Ghanaian Gospel music. I concluded that piece with a promise to address in my next article, the structural weakness, and how we can position ourselves for a more sustainable, scalable, and profitable industry. This article will focus on a brief development of Gospel music in Ghana from a socio-spiritual perspective, talk about where we are presently, highlight the recurrent weaknesses, and propose a more robust development approach to growing the Ghana Gospel music industry.
In the 1980s, the fastest growing musical expression in Ghana was the religious music that has come to be described as gospel music. Especially since the late 1980s gospel music has assumed an increasingly prominent position in Ghanaian religious and social life. According to a research done by Abamfo Atiemoin his study of world Christianity, Gospel music constituted about 75% of recorded musical works in Ghana in 1993; and in 2001 it was believed that about 90% of musicians were plying their trade in churches. This boom in gospel music coincided with the phenomenal spread of the charismatic movement. The charismatic movement affected most branches of Ghanaian Christianity and also produced a distinct group of churches that eventually came to be known as Charismatic Churches. Gospel music has become one of the most important expressions of popular Christianity. Perhaps no other aspect of popular Christianity embodies the aspirations, fears, the self-understanding, and the faith and hope of the ordinary Ghanaian Christian as the various strands of popular religious music, which have together been referred to as gospel music. In the late 90s to the early 2000s, lots of interdenominational choir groups were formed with the sole aim of spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ through contemporary gospel music, drama, and counselling. This was in furtherance of the charismatic movement that was taking roots in our socio-spiritual culture. Some of these groups were deeply involved in mission work, carrying the gospel into remote communities and hosting big crusades in small towns across the country. However, their activity rate has significantly reduced to almost nothing. To mention a few are The Commissioned Family, Harbor City Mass Choir, Impact Project Ministry, and E'mpraise Incorporated.
WHERE WE ARE – EVENTS
We have come a long way in the journey of establishing a fine contemporary gospel music industry. However, mainstream activity rate in terms of events seems to be diminishing compared to the level of enthusiasm and investment that existed about eight years ago. On the Christian event calendar, events like Harvest Praise, Celebrations, Adom Praise, Explosion of Joy, Absolute Worship, and SING OUT were not to be missed. The euphoria surrounding these events was magical! Amongst the many artists that trouped to Ghana were Kirk Franklin, Tye Tribett, Donnie McClurkin, Deitrick Haddon, Vashawn Mitchell, William McDowell, Cece Winans, Don Moen, and Israel Houghton. These foreign gospel artists were those who mattered on the world Gospel music scene! They were the crème de la crème, toping charts around the world, both in mainstream media and digital media. They all stormed Ghana for these recurring events. With the exception of Explosion of Joy, where did the rest go? Today, we have pockets of events all around with very few landmark ones like Praiz Reloaded, Explosion of Joy, August Worship, Tehillah and Thanksgiving.
Events are a strategic way to growing every creative industry, especially, music events. During large events, the economic benefits are widened. For example, the wedding industry today is thriving also because of the equitable distribution of specialty work like planning, coordination, styling, costuming, photography, etc. In the last decade, people have found a gap in the wedding industry and have created all sorts of solutions for the market, even bride dressing room décor vendors.
A few years ago, large Christian gospel music events birthed lots of service providers and the vendor competition induced high quality of service which translated into a mutually beneficial industry. Today, we see a recycle of vendors in the gospel industry. There isstagnation! The same sound engineer, lighting company, stage designers, floor managers, etc. This is where we are! In the early days of landmark events, corporate sponsorship was very promising. Even skills development events like Bass Clinic could get corporate sponsorship because the industry looked attractive. Today, even top gospel artists struggle to secure sponsorship that can cover half of their event cost. Why is this so? In the early days we had people like Andrew Lartey who was dedicated to fundraising activities for gospel events. He was known by almost every marketing department in every company. Unfortunately today, the zeal to pursue such activity is no more.
It saddens my heart to know that after three successful years of the "Year of Return" and "Beyond the Return", the entire gospel music industry could not tap into this major landmark marketing opportunity to design events that will harvest the benefits attached to it. Most successful Gospel artists in America are African-Americans who may want to find their roots. They will love to embark on this spiritual journey, intentionally designed, and hosted by our A-list Gospel artists. I am so sure without any atom of doubt that we would have had them trouping in free of charge and host them to a beautiful gospel events. Which corporate entity wouldn't want to sponsor that every year?
Today, we have mini events with matured skills set and quality production but we are unable to escalate them into landmark events. Are we thinking small? What could the challenges be? I believe there is a deep structural weakness that must be addressed to unleash the scalability of our industry
First, we lack an interface between what we do and the corporate world that has the budget to finance our activities. The gospel music industry is flooded by too many upstream skills with little attention to downstream abilities. Over the years, we have developed quality production skills. Gone are the days when we had a few instrumentalists, engineers, and other relevant labor factors producing what we enjoyed. Today, there are so many matured and quality upstream labor available for the production of whatever event or music that can compare to any other in the world. However, we lack people who will present the quality products and services we produce to corporate Ghana as a valuable venture in exchange for a space in their marketing budgets.
Second, we lack proper administrative structures. Our operations are usually run by one individual who juggles between business development, artist management, bookings, tour management, etc. We don't operate in isolation of the economic space. Once an artist produces a song, markets it, and sell it for a fee, all business protocols must be observed. In an economic space, certain business roles must be well understood and must be made functional for the growth, sustainability, and profitability of the brand or product. In the absence of quality business functional roles in the Gospel music industry, we have been denied of significant progress.
Third, the inability of seeming successful Gospel artists to chart a clear path for upcoming ones is a major challenge. Recently, we have seen a new generation of Gospel artists that have been busy with lots of gigs. Phillip Adzale, Efe Grace, Kofi Peprah, Luigi Maclean, and a lot of them out there will need a blueprint to follow. Unfortunately, the past seems a bit scattered without any scientific approach to starting your music career and moving it into the mainstream for maximum benefit, both spiritual and physical.
Lastly, the unavailability of record labels is really hindering the growth of the Gospel music industry. For well over two decades, since the recognition and gradual adoption of contemporary Gospel music, we haven't had any properly organized record labels to fund and promote talents.
THE WAY FORWARD
Starting from now, let us encourage people to take up roles of interfacing between the Gospel industry and the corporate world. Such people can be persons who are or have experienced the industry in a way and also works in the corporate world. There are singers, instrumentalists, and other actors that work in high level positions in the corporate world who understand how to pitch value in a corporate environment. Such people will be able to describe and articulate the value being offered by the Gospel industry and further situate our value proposition into the corporate world's marketing strategy. These persons will develop fundraising proposals, conduct market research and analysis, lead fundraising efforts, and secure funds for our activities while offering value to the sponsoring firms. There is a language spoken in the corporate world, and we must learn to speak and apply that language to promote the kingdom.
As an industry, we need to promote and formalize the roles of some of the people that work around artists. It is not enough to keep saying we have a team and still do things haphazardly. Moving forward, let us identify talents, give specific roles, and train the people that work around our artists to fit into functional roles that will make up the administrative pool of the artists. A well-organized team makes it attractive and fosters development due to the formality and urge of people to function in designated roles.
Successful artists must start documenting their way to success. Yes, we might not all take the same route but the fundamentals will almost remain the same. Successful artists must open up their network for upcoming ones to tap into while guiding their career through the turbulent industry we have in Ghana.
Lastly, we need to find a way to express to Kingdom financiers that the Gospel music industry is a bankable one and with some good investments, record labels and recording deals can materialize. The ability of the industry to establish record labels will birth and promote quality talents for the deep promotion of the gospel.
In conclusion, I believe with all my heart that the Gospel music industry in Ghana is yet to see its better days. To achieve this, we must intentionally and scientifically establish processes, procedures, tools, and techniques that will support its growth.

6 Things You Must Know About Aging in Place
Planning to stay put in retirement? Get your home ready now.
1. It pays to retrofit.
Basic design and structural modifications to a one-story home cost an average of $9,000 to $12,000, according to The MetLife Report on Aging in Place 2.0. Contrast that expense to the cost of assisted living, which averaged $3,600 per month in 2014, according to Genworth Financial, or $43,000 a year.
2. Think small.
Start with replacement hardware, such as lever-handled doorknobs and sturdy handrails along stairs. Install grab bars, single-handled faucets and "comfort height" toilets in the bathrooms. Upgrade your kitchen by adding rollout shelves and better undercabinet lighting. (For a comprehensive to-do list, see the "Aging-in-Place Remodeling Checklist" at www.nahb.org.)
3. Make it accessible.
Other modifications will cost more, and you may want to consult an expert. Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists (CAPS) -- who have completed a program developed by the National Association of Home Builders in collaboration with AARP -- can create a prioritized to-do list suited to your budget and resources (to search by zip code, visit the NAHB Web site at www.nahb.org and search for "CAPS Directory"). If, for example, your home has entry steps, consider installing a ramp; it will run $1,200 to $2,500, according to www.costowl.com. A curbless modular shower will cost $2,000 to $3,000 to install; a custom-tiled one could run $5,000 to $15,000, depending on the level of finish materials, fixtures and fittings, says Vince Butler, a builder in Clifton, Va., and a CAPS program instructor.
4. Consider the big picture.
Structural changes may include widening doorways and corridors and eliminating walls to accommodate wheelchairs and scooters, or even creating space in a multistory home to add an elevator later. The perfect time to make such adjustments is when you're updating or remodeling your home, when they'll add an average of 5% to your job cost, says Butler.
5. Tap your equity.
If you have substantial equity in your home, you have multiple ways to pay for improvements, such as a cash-out refinance of your mortgage, a home-equity loan or line of credit, or a reverse mortgage. For more information on reverse mortgages, visit the Web sites of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (search for "reverse mortgage") and the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association. Veterans may be eligible for a grant to construct or retrofit their homes (see www.benefits.va.gov/homeloans/adaptedhousing.asp).
6. R2-D2 to the rescue.
Voice-activated robot helpers are on the way. Meanwhile, existing tech tools can help you stay in touch with family, caregivers and community, as well as monitor your health and provide for security, says Laurie Orlov, founder of the Aging in Place Technology Watch. For example, the BeClose system ($499 for equipment plus $99 a month) will alert your emergency contacts if you diverge from your usual activity pattern. Lively ($50 for the system plus $28 to $35 a month) is a "safety watch" that combines an emergency alert system with a fitness band. It will also remind you to take your medications.

Here is a typical Kana chart presented in gojūon order:
In English, I refer to the first column in the chart as the 'vowels' and I refer to every other column in the chart with the first letter of each Kana in English (K, S, T...).
How would I refer to a particular column of this chart in spoken Japanese?
If for example, I was struggling to remember a word such as 'りんご' but I could only remember the consanant part from the final consonant + vowel pair (ri,n,g—), how could I say...
"I think the last kana was a 'g—' kana..."

We have had nice, windy, thunderstorm, rainy and even some snow days already. Pretty much to sum this up, its Wisconsin weather. But with all of this weather and being the time of year that it is, we all need to be prepared for the cold, slippery and yes, the SNOW. I said it, painfully, but I said it.
Here are some quick tips to remember when the weather is transitioning from summer, short lived fall to winter.
- Bundle up but in layers. Wisconsin has a tendency to be cold in the morning and warmer in the afternoon.
- Stock up your car with all the needed essentials for winter; ice scraper, blanket, snacks, etc.
- Review your knowledge of winter driving hazards.
- Be aware of your surroundings and the hazards winter weather may do to said surroundings.
We don’t want to be stuck with out something when we need it most!

St. Petersburg still boasts several examples of Peter the Great’s architecture. A stroll through its vibrant streets will allow you to discover a city so great, a tsar named it after himself. Figure out which season is best to visit the city, search for a St. Petersburg hotel and then set out to explore a city full of unique architecture and history.
The Cabin of Peter the Great
The first house built in Peter’s new city, the carefully preserved Cabin of Peter the Great combines traditional Russian and Dutch styles.
Peter lived in this modest wooden home, featuring tall ceilings to accommodate for his considerable height, from 1703 until 1708. Several rooms still contain his original belongings.
The Peter and Paul Fortress
On a small island in the Neva River, the Peter and Paul Fortress was built in the early 1700s to protect the area from Swedish attacks. However, Peter the Great’s army was able to divert the Swedish navy before it reached the city. As a result, the fortress never saw any military action.
Soon after, the complex was turned into a high-security jail for political prisoners, a role it maintained until the early 20th century. It contains a cathedral, the City History Museum and a mint.
For the perfect St. Petersburg day trip, you can pay a visit to Peterhof, Peter’s imperial estate, founded in 1710. Sometimes nicknamed “the Russian Versailles”, Peterhof includes the sprawling Grand Palace, the Grand Cascade and several gardens. While best enjoyed in the warm summer months, the estate is impressive even in the heart of St. Petersburg’s freezing winter.
Peter the Great’s Summer Palace and Garden
Located across the river from the Peter and Paul Fortress are the Summer Palace and Garden. The latter represents Peter the Great’s take on the royal parks he had seen while visiting Europe as a young man. To this end, everything – from the fountains to the marble statues – was created to meet early 18th-century landscape fashions. Completed in 1714, the Summer Palace is a small, two-story building that was used for Peter’s parties in the warmer months.

Threat actors could use API keys to access or take over Twitter accounts.
CloudSEK discovered 3,207 apps leaking API keys. 230 of them were leaking all four authentication credentials.
They could be used to perform critical actions, such as reading direct messages, retweeting, adding or removing followers, and changing account settings, among other things.
CloudSEK noted that there were some unicorns among those 230 apps.
Twitter API (Application Program Interface) enables access to the Twitter application. This allows a developer to access the core functionalities of Twitter, such as reading and sending Tweets, direct messages, and following and unfollowing users.
“By allowing access to their APIs, Twitter ensures that developers can come up with their own unique ways of embedding Twitter’s data and functionality in their applications. For example, if a gaming app posts your high score on your Twitter feed directly, it is powered by the Twitter API,” CloudSEK explained.
Should malicious actors get ahold of Twitter API keys, they could build a bot army. In fact, Cybernews recently ran a story about a white hat hacker who asked Twitter for API keys to experiment with bots. After Twitter denied him access, he demonstrated how easy it is to build a bot even without the API keys and got banned from social media.
Twitter bots might be used in a wide range of attacks.
“Tweets and their subsequent retweets gain global attention. So, a Twitter bot army can be used to spread misinformation on any topic ranging from vaccines to elections. Thereby affecting millions across the globe,” the CloudSEK report reads.
The company outlined more possible scenarios. For example, bots could be used to spread malware, disseminate information related to cryptocurrency or the stock market, and harvest personal information.
“Real-time information being the USP of social networking platforms such as Twitter, it is difficult to differentiate between truth and lies, both deliberate and accidental. Hence, it is important for social media platforms to ensure that they are not misused to spread misinformation,” CloudSEK concluded.

Some of the most recent statistics estimate that around 42% of marriages end in divorce. While about 6% of these are due to the death of a spouse, the vast majority are due to insurmountable differences and other factors. It is important that when a healthy separation is underway that the entire process is done in as healthy a way as possible. This involves clear communication from both sides to take care of all the following aspects.
Effectively Arrange the Finances
There are two main things which are the hardest to sort out when going through a separation; children’s living arrangements and finances. If you don’t have children and are undergoing a separation, then it will be finances that take the forefront. This is the main cause of delays and problems when attempting a healthy separation.
The easiest way to avoid any problems due to finances when going through a divorce is if both of you agree to the divorce, no children are involved and neither is dependent on the other financially.
Splitting the property and pensions can become tricky, especially if communication is an issue between the two of you. To protect your best interests, it is important to seek out professional legal advice when separating.
Think of the Children

Whatever you may be going through, children, especially young ones, are likely to find the whole experience even worse. Therefore, it is essential that you both do your upmost to keep any conflict away from them during the separation.
Change can be traumatising for children, so it is best that you are both honest with them and talk to them in advance about what will happen. Research has found children who remain in close contact with both parents fair a lot better, so putting this in place is more likely to lead to a healthy separation for everyone involved. Keep communication open between you and your partner for the ease of transition.
Look After Your Mental Wellbeing
With children and money on your mind a lot during a separation, it can be easy to forget about looking after yourself. Going through a divorce can be tough, so it is important to surround yourself with friends and family to help you get through it.
It may not be what you planned to happen but having a good support network in place will help. You will be going through a range of emotions and need to give yourself time and space to deal with these. If you’re really struggling, then it can be worth seeking out a professional to help.
Once you have accepted that the divorce is real and the whole process is under way, it is time to begin thinking about the future. One of the best ways to do this is by setting yourself goals and thinking positively to achieve them. It could be to start a new hobby, go on holiday with your friends or anything else that will increase your happiness.
Take this action and you should find that a separation is relatively healthy for yourself and everyone else affected by the divorce.

This web page is being updated by Scott Otterson. Any corrections, revisions or suggestions can be emailed to Scott. Site updated 8/13/22.
Wild Celery Weed growth and some spots of Eurasian Water Milfoil have caused additional weed harvesting in Cedar Bay. The bay has soft bottom soils that can easily be disrupted with some boating activities. It is requested that fast boating be enjoyed safely in other areas of the lake while we attempt to control the weeds in this Bay.
SLOW NO WAKE IS NOW LIFTED ON CEDAR LAKE
When the Slow No Wake is removed, high water levels still exist and many piers, docks, boat lifts and phosphorus laden shore line soils will still be at risk. It is requested that fast boating occur safely near the center of the lake in the counter clockwise direction. Erosion of the shore washing Phosphorus into the lake along with the inability to restore the lost shoreline are key concerns. Past requests for fast boating near the center of the lake have been successful during similar lake levels. We are hoping that the near record high spring lake levels drop before significant boating occurs.
The next Sanitary District Meeting has been set for Tuesday August 15th, 2022 at 6 pm at the Town Hall. A WDNR staffer will be there to discuss any topic of concern. Please come if you have any questions.
A new boat pier has been installed, parking lot and landing paving, and lighting. New signage notifying the need to check the parking lot for open parking spots before launching was installed.
Natural prairie plantings have been added by the County to the Parking lot drainage area.
Safe boating starts at the dock, continues out on the water, and ends if followed with happy memories.
Sanitary District 1 (Cedar Lake) received a 2016 WDNR grant for 35% of the replacement cost of our ten year old Weed Harvester, Trailer, and Conveyor. The new harvester is currently in operation on the lake.
Part of the process was to provide an update to our Aquatic Plant Management Plan. We applied and received a 75% WDNR Grant for the update which included a lake survey of it's aquatic plants. The completed plan was added as a link at the end of the web page.
Weed Harvesting Requests can be accommodated by calling Mike Strebe
Per aquatic plant harvesting permit requirements, "weed" harvesting cannot be harvested by our equipment in areas that are less than 5 feet deep so don't ask the harvester operator to cut in shallow water because he can't by state permit requirements. New harvester operators are being trained. Due to wind conditions and inexperience on the machine, they may not be able to accommodate all cutting requests.
Thank you Roger for 50 years of service and friendship to the lake community that you are so much a part of
Muskrats have caused damage to shoreland, boat wiring and seating, and even automobile wiring of vehicles parked near the lake. A muskrat trapper has been harvesting the animals on Cedar Lake for over 30 years. If you have any sighting of nuisance muskrats, notify Scott Otterson so that he may notify the trapper of their location.
The following link is to a chart showing some of the past trapping results. muskrat trapping records; muskrat trapping2021
The 2017 trapping yielded 188. 2018 yielded 99. 2019 yielded 83. 2020 yielded 80. 2021 yielded 83.
EWM herbicide treatment in areas identified in 2021 but not allowed by the DNR were later approved and treated on June 27th, 2022. Both of the 2021 and 2022 treatments have been highly successful.
Herbicide treatment occurred on EWM herbicide treatment on Cedar Lake occurred on Friday July 9th, 2021. The treatment was only in the North Bay/Cedar Bay due to WDNR permit decision not to treat other dense areas requested to be treated.
On May 25, 2011 a sighting of EWM prompted the Sanitary District to contact the DNR to determine the proper immediate response. The Sanitary District obtained a Permit to Apply Aquatic Herbicide and the pants were both hand pulled and treated with herbicide. All lake users should become familiar with the identification of the plant and report any sightings to the District representatives. 2012 sightings have prompted the Sanitary District to contact the DNR for additional eradication efforts. 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 treatment has been done. Unfortunately, all major motorized lakes in Manitowoc County now have EWM.
Several EWM sites were found around the lake during late summer of 2017. A request for a DNR grant to fund a removal program was made and received for a $10,000 grant where the DNR pays $7,500 and the Sanitary District pays $2,500. The Cedar Lake Improvement Association generously donated $1,000. The removal program called DASH required a suction pontoon barge and a diver to use a suction hose to suck the EWM plant and roots from the lake bottom. The divers noted several previously unknown locations of EWM and the plants were removed. Unfortunately, four large areas had well established growth and required chemical treatment.
The DASH program has been effective in early stages of EWM as seen on Cedar Lake. Continued monitoring, hand pulling and chemical treatment will continue as needed.
EWM can reestablish itself from small pieces of the original plant. Because of this, any plants on the shore, trailer, anchor, or boat should be removed and composted or placed on shore to dry out.
No Parking Signs have been posted on the roads near the boat landing to reduce the roadside parking hazards. Please take note and notify friends that there will be a $100 fine and towing if they are in violation.
The wildflowers located near the storage building bloomed and provided homes for many interesting butterflies. Nice work volunteers!

A report of Swimmers Itch has been received in the past on this and other lakes. It is parasite that develops in snails or waterfowl but dies when it penetrates human skin. It is most commonly found nearshore, in shallow water, and in stagnant water. It's best to swim in deeper waters, rinse and dry after swimming and use antibacterial soap.
A good website with information on Swimmers Itch is http://www.swimmersitch.org/faq.html#WILLSPREAD
Eastern Milk Snake in Scott's backyard June 15, 2010 Non Poisonous, found around stone foundations, eats insects, slugs, small rodents, frogs, small snakes. Good for your garden so let them go or call Scott to remove it to a better location. (Legend has it that these snakes often found around barns drank the milk from the cows....sorry only a legend)
PS There are no poisonous snakes in this area of Wisconsin but any snake can bite so don't get over excited about a snake or snake bite around here. Send Scott any interesting nature photos.
Lake Watch - Police Reports and Concerned Property Owners Comments
Kiel and surrounding communities have noted break-ins to unlocked garages and cars. Recently Oct 2020. None reported on the lake yet.
Contact Ken Schuler Constable at 920-629-6500 for information on suspicious activity or lake activity violations or dial 911 for emergency assistance.
Nature Watch - Send Scott any interesting nature sightings, photos for posting
On 5/26/22, a secchi disk reading was 14.8 ft.. We had a good water quality year last year so hopefully we'll have another. Early November secchi disk readings before ice forming were at 21 feet.
Under ideal conditions on April 4, 2021 a new record water clarity reading of 26.0 feet of depth using the Secchi disc method occurred. It is anticipated that the clarity will decrease naturally during the summer as the sun promotes the plant and algae growth. These readings have been recorded over several years and can be found on the below mentioned Cedar Lake Monitoring Data Link.
On May 28th, 2022 the Lake level was 3 inches above the invert of the outflow culvert. Levels have continued to be at record seasonal highs throughout the Summer. Slow no wake has not been implemented and it is hopeful that boaters will fast boat near the center of the lake. The increased boating/wave action adds to the sediment suspension and erosion so please fast boat as far away from the shores as safe and practical. (The smaller the waves at the shoreline, the more likely your neighbors will support fast boating)
Fishermen and Fisherwomen
The DNR is currently setting nets and performing a lake survey. Results usually are completed during the following winter.
DNR requires a wearable life preserver on kayaks and paddle boats (a throwable is not good enough). A $200 ticket issued by the County on 4th of July 2011 weekend drove the point home to 3 paddleboaters.
Two thousand 6-inch perch were stocked in March 2013 and two thousand 6-in walleyes in December 2014. Hopefully they will contribute to an improved fishery. As always, catch and release is recommended for the walleye as they are an endangered resource on Cedar Lake and it is better to return a surviving walleye and catch many more of its offspring.
See the informational links at the end of this web page for more DNR fish Survey information.
Any photos of catch and released fish or measurements will be posted. Contact Scott.

SCHOOLS in the Perth Hills are among those to benefit from $100,000 of state funding to give students the tools to divert waste from landfill.
Darlington’s Treetops Montessori School, Mundaring Christian College and St Brigid’s College in Lesmurdie will spend their grants on waste wise projects such as worm farms, chicken coops and composters.
Member for Kalamunda Matthew Hughes congratulated his local schools on their waste wise initiatives.
WA schools committed to wasting less last year recycled about 200,000kg of paper and diverted nearly 90,000kg of waste from landfill through worm farming and composting.
Many of the schools also recycle batteries, mobile phones, ink cartridges, coffee pods and oral care products.
Waste wise school grant applications are open until September 7 via the Waste Authority’s website at www.wasteauthority.wa.gov.au.

Fundamental principles of engineering economics:
a.It is a known factor that money has a time value associated with it in the form of compound interest rate. Hence, the statement of receiving a dollar today is worth more than a dollar received later is one of the fundamental principles of engineering economics.
b.Investors invest on securities with higher risk and volatility to receive a higher return over a time period. If the risk is avoided then the opportunity of earning higher return would also be given up. Hence, the statement of higher return is expected always with a higher risk is one of the fundamental principles of engineering economics.
c.As the availability of productive resources is limited in an economy to produce goods, the resources must be chosen effectively so as to maximize production. If the marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost, then the production will be more and it adds up to the total profit. While marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue, the more production subtracts from the total profit. Hence, the statement marginal revenue must exceed marginal cost is one of the fundamental principles of engineering economics.
d.While comparing a different alternative, such as cost and revenue with fixed or time variant of any project, often the salvage value is given up, which is most important for any particular project. Thus, the focus should also be given on the differences in the alternatives.
Hence, the option d is not one of the four fundamental principles of engineering economics.
Illustration of fundamental principles of engineering economics:
• Company S estimated the cost of building a bridge was $2.4 million in 2011 and it increased to $5million in 2014.
• Bank C offered 10 year saving policy where a deposit on today will double after 10 years.
This offer of bank C and estimation of company S states one of the fundamental principles of engineering economics that an earlier dollar is worth more than a later dollar.
• Company H launched a new printing machine with low price. The printing quality of this machine is better than many other printers. But the processor of the printer is very slow.
The new launch of company H states one of the fundamental principles of engineering economics that is all that counts is the difference among alternatives.
• Company NC acquired company MC last year. Now marginal revenue of company NC is $2million. Whereas, marginal cost is less than $1.5 million.
The above example states one of the fundamental principles of engineering economics that is marginal revenue must exceed marginal cost.
• Bank ZC has opened a new office in New York zone. Since there is number of well-established bank in this zone, many analyst feels it is a risky decision. However, CEO of the bank is confident that the bank has implemented some new policy to attract customer, which will help the bank to survive in this region.
The above example states one of the fundamental principles of engineering economics that is additional risk is not taken without expected additional return.
Factors essential for evaluation of large scale engineering projects:
In a large scale engineering project, in order to analyze production method, engineering safety, environmental impacts, market assessment, an engineer evaluates expected profitability, timing of cash flow, and degree of financial risk.
Hence, option d is correct.

The Whisper Gallery
“what is sound but the flesh of time?” (“Viral Chatter”). That’s not an unimportant question, since time unfleshed is a ghost, an apparition, a hant; it’s the Web’s ahistoricity and placelessness. Which is where we all live now.
Forget everything you think you know about poetry or the classroom disinformation that has made you hate it.
Consider this: Poetry is immersive. Accountants don’t do risk assessment and statisticians don’t research demographic analyses of its audience. The best of it is consciously free, because it almost never makes real money. It’s a gift like those the Trobriand Islanders acquire and pass on.
And suppose you’re in the hands of a hyperalert intelligence like Nate Maxson who, in his recent volume The Whisper Gallery, detects the signs and augurs of our planetary dread. The title refers to a poem-sequence, but also the phenomenon of an acoustical space where sound echoes and reechoes as in a chamber, a catacombs, a “labyrinth.” Crazy old Pound said poets are the antennae of the race. Maxson has feelers out to here (reviewer spreading his hands kilometer-length). Maybe, dear reader, you should pay attention.
Exiled in New Mexico, Maxson isn’t a Southwest regionalist. His poetic voice exists in the interstices between the (im)material world and the almost-virtual: “down or up, it doesn’t make a huge difference” (“Viral Chatter”). He’s the ghost in the machine and knows it. This is poet-as-palmreader, part bunko artist, part Nostradamus.
Since he’s a poet, he doesn’t expect recompense. He doesn’t calculate weekend box office returns on “Dystopia Redux, the Sequel.” It isn’t sincerity I’m talking about that Maxson eschews anyway. Besides, like a lot of perfectly good words—take “rendition,” for example—that word has been evacuated of meaning by the Orwellian bowels of post-9/11 mendacity. So these aren’t poems as beautifully finished artifacts like a Grecian urn. No, they’re secret codes from the underground, the blips and beeps of Deep Web, the faint music of dread that insinuates itself in your Xanax-dulled, nerve-jangled ear. It’s a directional map to the point of no return. It’s a non-reversible jacket.
So Eliot’s “These fragments I have shored against my ruins” serves as the book’s epigraph—or epitaph. Maxson may not know his Adorno, but he surely knows that the last century was a graveyard.
It’s that bad. There’s no literary fiction on the New York Times bestseller list. E.L. James and Stephanie Meyer reboot their domination and/or teen vampiric fantasies from a different angle. Brick-and-mortar indie bookstores are closing at an alarming clip—and even those rarely stock small press books. The US is in thrall to Barnes & Nobles’ corporatist mind that has never heard of Gregory Corso, one of Maxson’s favorite poets, and it’s very unlikely you’ll find one of ex-jailbird Corso’s books in their Poetry section—if they have one. I don’t think I overstate when I say we, the hardcore readers, are reduced to the status of Fahrenheit 451’s misfits who committed canonical books to memory in the dark forest. The woods are burning along with the Reichstag.
Let’s see if a pop-cultural reference helps: The Whisper Gallery extends the vision of Dylan circa “Desolation Row.” One of the poems is entitled “The Titanic Sails at Dawn.” He’s not talking about the billion-dollar extravaganza about hubris and a plumply nude Kate Winslet. Another of Maxson’s influences is Thomas Pynchon and the novelist’s investigation into hierarchies of power and paranoia as a normative state in America. He echoes Gravity’s Rainbow: “something coming out of the sky.”
Eliot’s epigraph cues the reader. Don’t expect a controlling master narrative whose male omniscience is bullshit. Woolf knew that. Maxson is too much a small d democrat/libertarian/anarchist for that. What I hear, the voice, issuing from these poems, is a disembodiment, a felt presence of something that knows it’s lost in miniaturized cogs and gadgets, the ghost in the machine, unwhole: “to feel the missing piece despite its absence . . . the vestigial other . . . what has faded and yellowed was once a whole motion.” (“The Pin-Test”). But since there’s a fully conscious intelligence at work, that voice takes unwholeness as a given. If only that were true of the gun-toting maniacs that stalk the bloodied land.
At moments there’s a longing for an apocalyptic event in which to merge and dissolve in amniotic fluid—“one big rainstorm to carry me away, reunite me with the water”—and a visionary clarity of transcendence and death: “between clouds and the eventual trench” (“Viral Chatter”). At other moments the voice sounds an implied threat and dis-illusion that we might just want to heed: “beware the wounded romantic” (“The Whisper Gallery (1)”).
Like Dickinson, the poet is asking the Big Questions about the old verities: Death, Eternity, Time and Oblivion, but also modern crises like self-division and, preeminently, the soul-sickness of new technologies. He refers to the inorganic “digital transubstantiation” that seeks to abolish the clink and jangle of dailiness, the conjurations and spooks, in the name of the perfect El Lay surface. The voice has the air of D.H. Lawrence’s “demon of the continent” come back to haunt the whiteman with an “Orestes-like frenzy.” But he—or she—is also a Cassandra, a prophet unhonored in his own “homeland.” We like to kill the messenger who delivers bad news.
Maxson is interrogating the nature of historical time itself, what Frank Conroy called “stop-time.” The poet alludes to J. Robert Oppenheimer, one of the prime movers of The Bomb who “declared himself Destroyer, many armed Shiva.” Did Shiva snap her fingers to music [Oppenheimer] could almost hear” on Ginsberg’s “hydrogen jukebox?” (“The Pin-Test”).
If you need influences, like novelists Pynchon and Don de Lillo, Maxson is a terrible agent of consciousness in our endgame. He makes the reader work more than a little bit that, once upon a modernist time, was something commendable, since complexity, difficulty and effort were values to be prized.
The long-breath’d lines aren’t exactly Whitmanic/Ginsbergian, they lack American optimism, there’s no refuge in Buddhism. Maxson once described Franz Wright’s poems as “a slab.” The poems in The Whisper Gallery aren’t slabs so much as they’re jerrybuilt structures built from run-together sentences and telegraphic flashes broken by commas, slashes and the right-margin wall as if the poet couldn’t be bothered by full stops. It doesn’t matter whether the poet has read Charles Olson or not; he’s absorbed the Black Mountain credo that one perception immediately follows upon another. These are communiques composed at white heat.
The lines crawl across the large-format page like the red ants in Cien Años de Soledad before the cataclysm wipes Macondo off the map as Melquiades scribed it. These poems weren’t written; they were dictated by the poet much as Rilke transcribed the Duino Elegies, although it isn’t an angel wrestling in this poet’s doggish ear. As surely as empires rise, they also fall: “A crack appears in the machinery” is the first line of the first poem in this volume.
The meritocracy is bogus. Talent doesn’t always out. Sometimes it withers on the vine. Excellent writers don’t always find their audience. Let’s hope Nate Maxson does.
The dolphin repurposes into a shark. High water, everywhere. We’d best learn to swim among the broken rocks.

Najafi Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam O Allah Rasool e Muhammad Ali he was herb he
already be learning the SharePoint rajim Bismillah of any
evil Medina monastery Novus Sabri was slaughter in the law Hamas slavery and
you're part of
what correctly burden people IE no is hurt or your oral ID will upset. Well waste malita odsl localu Mila here so my dear brothers and sisters, sisters are not here anymore inshallah we have to remember them as well.
Alhamdulillah we spent few days in the city of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and today in sha Allah, we are going to leave the city with intention to come back again again shala so already when you leave the city of Medina, the city of Barcelona is always in the contention of Allah make me to come back here again, again, this should not be our last journey, you know, many, many more journeys to commercialize and we are alive. And we should make a lot of hautala that he made us to spend time nicely here. You know, because of this colossal what happens is, you know, you can see all the time you're busy, very little sleep, no time for shopping, no time for walking around. But it don't if
you don't have this closet for three hours in the morning and then after middle class. If you don't have this class it then what we will do in this time either sleeping or walking around. So these classes actually at least they have saved our time from from investing. And second thing Alhamdulillah we are learning you know and and make sure that what do we learn, I write it down because sometimes you can see it in some of the sentences that teachers teach. You can think maybe it is very simple, but sometimes they are a result of you know, loud reflections and you know, a lot of learning you know, it's really benefiting inshallah, in the future when you teach and also when
you reflect to yourself it will helpful so whatever you have been learning you know, take notes you know, don't think that no, I know it anyway because you forget so easily. So I'm in this class of like, you know, the C class and 40 had yes or no we and even the Syrah the parcel and so on because the way I'm teaching Sera, it is not you know, just a dear Sunday you know, you know exactly more how to take lessons from the life of the prophets Allah Islam and to make the Sierra the parser as a more layman to us, so 100 in we should think a little harder that he has helped us and he had accepted us to be in the city as a professor Lana selam. And now we are going to inshallah, three
mocha mocha Rama within chef ombre we are where we are going to stay for a few days and also there will be some classes and learning inshallah
try to understand in what these cities are and why hygiene Amara, they are so important in this this religion. So first thing I said is when a person starts talking about hanamura in social dakara first time in the whole chapter of Quran it starts with a verse. Yeah, a yo Latina man is telling, you know, slavery was all believers are those who believe in seek help with the prayer and with the sovereign.
To think really is the life of the believers are summarized into actions. Salah and Assad and the whole region is it just details are the salah and sub and hydrometer they are training at the salon sub.
Okay, Vera Hema Islam has been made or has been chosen. You know, after Lanka the primary Salaam is the first major messenger and prophet or a salon who from very beginning you know, I've been thinking and unless I say about my salon, that they now the home in public. We gave Rahim Islam the wisdom from very childhood.
So he when he was child, he was a thinker. He was not like other children to waste his time, all the time thinking understanding properly grown up in a family, but he's able to different to think different from them. Because when you grew up in the same room among people that you never think really you know why people do something but it's just it's the hybrid that I follow. People have grown up in India subcontinent, they see everybody going in for the prayer, they have a height topi. So, they grew up with this they become internet people they call doctors engineers, they become an island they come out on any is it remains all the life in their time that when you pray you must
have this had the never question really why we do this is really soon is it vary from person to person, it never come. Even the people are all on the machine. And then after that, if somebody teaches them they cannot accept. So what it really means
Because people don't think people don't think in or differently, people don't question things, even when it's not surprising the Quran that he was able to think men say his father used to make I just and worship them. Even our him could ask question why designers Why do you Why do you worship them? How they benefit you? And he not only good question he asked me he really raised the question. So that for our server Ibrahim, he said that he was given his wisdom from very beginning from childhood all the time thinking thinking differently asking the question and making effort to know the answer, and when he knows the answer, so first thing actually is I mentioned earlier, given his first
quality is this intellectual courage means he could raise a question. Second thing once he got the answer, he's not shy. Then he thinks it is his duty to teach you properly. Then after the ones he realized that he's his father and his people when the worship digests, they have done mistake, it is wrong it is not right that he asked them why you're doing this they can't benefit you they cannot harm you. You know they don't listen to you in nothing they don't listen to him then Ibrahim Islam want to you know, basically do something bigger to do deconditioning of their mind to what he did he just you know in it long story I don't want to go detail he goes and smashes all the idols whenever
I miss my shed the ideas you know the purpose actually is not to humiliate them the purpose is not to show that you know Abraham did not care about either dinners papa, papa only properly because since he has been teaching and gently they could not understand tonight but I want to demonstrate to see I have been telling you that your ideas don't benefit don't hurt even they cannot protect themselves that there is much all of them. And when people came they say well he must have done this video I'm going to teach they asked their call Ibrahim and wherever him came and they asked him on the falta behalf hada we already had an IRA he we brought him Haiku done this with our gods
Ibrahim has done anyway everybody knows if you're not even going to lie to Ibrahim it but he will his purpose to teach you when I said very calmly and nicely you know all the pillar against him. He's only one person. He said what butterfly Allahu kabiru mhada first allume in the garden, the big idol, he is the one who didn't ask them if they can speak that we're here to teach the speaker they cannot defend you. Then the advanced era his path is thinking person then people who are super, you know sun and the moon and the stars are for each story with a Muslim comes, appears with them and said yeah, this is my Lord. You know, the people become happy are they allowed him he got to teach
them and then when they start disappears, Moon disappears. And no sun disappears. Ibrahima, it's not to say that there's some tensor which really is amazing centers in the history of mankind. I always think after la era hydrilla that no centers are more powerful than Ibrahim Sal de la or bhullar fleet He did not say I don't you know love the sun and moon but I don't watch it because the discipline or he denies all of them is that I don't love dogs will disappear this thinking is really you know not easy this centers only can come after long thinking loud reflection thinking he said anything meaning it was something disappears independent to how can I can worship in something which
dependent itself Why don't I go to someone who is not dependent? Son depends moon depends it starts with the person jobs it depends You Know Your Farmer depends you know money depends position depends Why is the differential depress the Kindle because everything depends why worship them they come and go they are there then today I don't worship them tonight really big 75 100 salaam no you know it can kill you you know that in his people after in a karmic the message so deeply. So proper Lister did not listen to Brahim Islam with a commander philosopher hotel. He leaves his people in nee Mahajan ihlara he lists them and then when he left Allah gave him a reward that he got from his wife
if it is my wife, Hydra Somali and then he got also from his wife, Sarah the son is having two sons have been given and then also gave him good tidings then from his house to go to Yahoo amazing people and then Ibrahim Ali Salaam when his son is married has Filipino born and just a young infant child and his wife has realized a newly married with him unless commands to take in the Son and the wife to a land in Dallas not defined and just came and told him where the land is it was in no population no water no food, no water nothing and even I have come here even I'm has no idea why there and then lots of other commodity leave your wife and your son here. Even ah here we are even
I'm thinking before even before the money things, understand.
After a man what is surrenders?
to understanding, every question that you make it before believing, think properly Allah wants you to understand, but once you know he's your Lord, then if he commands anything whether you understand don't understand, you must do service full submission. Now, Ibrahim said new legislating submission before Barbara has a life of Tinker, thinking prophet. Eman, Hanif iya turning away from everything to Allah tala. Now this stage of life is convert full submission. Allah commanded to leave surrender even I'm left his wife Hydra is following him asking where are you living? Ibrahim wants to hide the full face whole family as people of submission. He did not answer second time she asked you to not
answer third time see she said you know is it command of your Lord Ibrahim wants his wife to think like him to understand without answer if a writer sorry getting my commander My Lord that she now he wants her to think that he Brahim who loves his children so much advice so much why is not to leave the note that I have no reason other than last a month to when she said is your last commodity but I said yeah I said last Allah Allah C'mon, there she is okay then let's water will not let us down and then she remains there and then you know, you know, and then a child's crying for water she then she runs to the hillside to find out the water for Safa to America for America to suffer to charge seven
times higher until the angels come on the water in a question from the unknown feet or feet of the smile and then he or she becomes so happy and water is dead and water is dead in the birds to come. Then the people from you know when we get home they're passing by them they come and they asked permission to sit around her
neck you know it's more population growing then after a while under satola ask you now you go you know how you see how I looked after your family with a daughter how I see this house not not want to do they recognize sometimes an inner child growing up now. last final test for father Rahim after submission their law said to him go on salata to your your son in dream that he Rahim in a full submission you know if we see dream like that we see no it has dreams have meaning if don't immediately go and slot a dream in for obedience to Allah subhanaw taala but he will take the dream literally and a lot of different time. Era he was so intelligent, so clever. But in submission. He
literally he followed the lit you know, literally everything in our time what we will do the fearful mocassin if Ibrahim was fear McCarthy What should he say? No. Every time boxer child is born for a boxer for a purpose. We should look look after him sacrificing challenges to diversify the religion. But Abraham did not love this Kamikaze Ibrahim was for submission literally following Allah Allah Mr. Oliver Mr. socko said dream does not need to do now it could after 10 years 20 years not today but same day but he will he also wants his son to be with him too he asked his son is my that I this I've seen in my dream What do you think to do thinking Abrahamson said oh my father Don't kill me in
that particular no he's going to do anyway but he wants a smile also to have same belief this mindset Oh my father you Do you know what I've been commanded? You'll find me my submarine. This really suffer patience. So deliver him listen I'm a data analyst whatever listen to him, even our him secondly, life is this whole thing he man and then Islam submission. And Islam has got even our hands Islam has got two main parts, salah and southern. Southern you can see the life leaving the wife and wife has suffered, the son has suffered and the minister of the Sun is his new slaughter. And he said you will find him with the salary and salary below him how you can see a lot on Mardi
Gras him to build the house. He will visit the house for the people who do prayer and you know tawaf Leon and Rocco on Seder whenever I build the car but then he realized now he's going to be commanded to settle here he is no he not very well then he got married while we're Lamech my family but a minute to settle here
to Abraham's a family basically what happened at Brian's family is an example for all the believers for both things for EMA and Islam and in Islam his family is example for what for Salah in doing relation with us on a deep deep relation not superficial reason you know all the time just no submission to him properly who will say that Allah autograph it for admission make bill my house for the people who don't have the autograph I said that the young you know, whatever who says in order attending even in standing in front of you Lord Ibrahim is commanded. So this is turning as a salah and the slavery the struggle a place where the no water no food he can stay there for the sake of
Allah tala that at the data why we are commanded to do hieromartyr why to remember era have sacrificed to remember the story of the sovereign Salah was established to get accepted and then it probably more masala lesser. He followed the
of his father Ibrahim. And he also does same thing in the summer and solder to basically Hydra O'Meara they are turning afford salah and suffer that way the Jeffree Star yeah a EULA The nominals is telling you this slavery was sada this word Jetta the hombre is what? salah and Saba because it is just a submission to Allah subhanaw taala. You can see the believers don't care what they're wearing, you know, on a soul upload, nobody doesn't like that. But they're believers to do like that. They don't you know, they don't care about anything. And then you know even before even coming there, you know, they're given the same you know, part of submission, love bake I love Mullah bagel
a bagel Ashley Cola, cola bake. In the handle when no matter what a miracle Asha required the sentences to allow the submission to make very clear cut submissions from heart. But when you see the tango it really goes deep to the sentence of our submission. Oh my god. We are just we listen to the home school. And now we are here. In Ola back Miss word. La Bella be means when somebody calls you know, I'm here. I'm listening to you. That love buys one Tobia Bella bike Miss twice. La Biocon means I'm listening to I'm listening to him here and present. And this is love bike. I love my love back not only love back many love bikes all the time. Why? discom Guevara Hema is love when he built
the Kaaba and that's what they wanted to make the Kaaba as a training center for the southern Salah to he said to Abraham, then if he NASA will head to curry john
Gotti and Gina milk you know and outside the house people will cover the lobbyists to response of the call of Ibrahim Ibrahim called people are now we say we are there even I'm UConn we are here, we listen to you, to everybody from all over the world. They basically come in to attend the call of Abraham Islam for turning out the solar solar to keep remembering this thing that basically hydrometer urawa this visit they are not tourism, they are not enjoyment. They are not to celebrate the inner bricks and the stones. They are not to see that how nice is the building after most of the props that are listed? And how great the building or the harm did not fair that is all suffering. It
really imagined really that in the time you know it I think of when the professor lesson we used to go from Medina to Makkah did you go by Did he go by quote by
walking on the camel. Many many days. Sometimes there are water sometimes no water in so much struggle so much suffering, that how they are going and whenever his family settled there, you know how much suffering whether you see Hydra, looking for water, there are no water, the Heartless mother looks after them. It the overturning of the suffering
and the suffering then be patient don't complain meaning it listen to your Lord and whatever difficulty come in his path. Don't complain, you know be patient and expect reward for me, telling me what we really once I get the group of people in from England, every single step you know people you sort of see how nicely this system in England order in this and that you hear all the time they're completely flies out here you notice in our thinking really the singer you are here but your mind is somewhere else. This This place is not chosen, because you know it is a place of easiness this place actually has been chosen because it difficult to people don't come here to enjoy the
life. People only come here you know if they love Ibrahim, if Villa masala if really they want to learn how to do submission. You don't come here for tourism, which is not a place for that this place actually shouldn't be kept like that. When you come here it should be ready for suffering. Unless mother daughter does not already believe us to be lazy and just easy. Like it's very bad for other believers. You know, wake up in the night in a prayer in a walking in a suffering struggle. You know, it can sit tiredness, no complaint, keep moving in all the time, whatever time you got in a top row Who says that? That's how the life is. Do you see what I mean? The rest know how much you
would have directly measured on his feet for an IRA to Syria from Syria, he go to Egypt, from Egypt. He's got to know karma is there for America. He goes to Syria he talks to his advisor in a we have people in England they have to wise maybe in the same house. Some people have to wise but in their own house. They don't actually even afford to have a house you know, but you know where are his two wives are not in same place one in America and one is Syria. To take these things. You'd spent some time here some time there. How long how much he keeps moving all the time. He never stopped. He never said now we have reached one last note I did for submission. I should rest No, unless I'm
making him to understand properly. hygiene ombre really are not permitted not only. It is really this from your heart when we sell the bike. Think of properly that Abraham called me and I'm listening to him and the core was for what
for turning up the server to be patient, I have patient and don't don't complain. Tell me agree when you protest in London, even complaint protests at least complaint protests from schatten portneuf. I even I have never protested. He writes, he writes over has been do what is best. And what if you don't get what you want? Ask Allah. Even I have never asked people, even his children, ask people, Abraham's children, people give me peace. Even if Jason only asked me stromelysin whatever it is children, don't ask anybody else. Don't beg to anybody. But I haven't even don't even done a couple of things and ask him even I don't even I've never been anybody. Iran has to be always Hi Bill. In
Niva jatoba Jia, Li Fatah wa T will have the hanifa. I directed my face to one who created the heaven does not know who is a king of a small, tiny country. No The one who create the whole Haven, Arthur hanifa. And I've done to him from every single thing, is that what you're trying to do? And no, but I have children, they want to protest. They want to make March. They want to make peace March, they want to build the father peace, think properly, even if children are not for their particular children or to listen to their Lord. I know and if difficult because they are they have sovereign debt, they are patient, and then the Lord reversed in the branch that establish any
Kingdom or Empire. No. But what Abraham establish really is a much much bigger than kingdom is definitely the time that I would love to live in or somebody complained to the ruler of Syria that he met me is gathering his his followers to take the kingdom from you. They call it Britannia. Mattila de nathania said to the king, do you think I'm going to take that into your kingdom, your kingdom and Kingdom of all the mangoes is not equal to me even if I want to say I'm going to take this era what Ibrahim is, is a million times better than the kingdom of any any King Kingdom officer Mr. Nelson any Kingdom if you follow Ibrahim what you get really easy, no king, king King can get in
a decent depth the depth of the relation to the hotel is so deep really amazing to when you go to O'Meara it is not sympathetically It is really much much deeper meaning here now what is Turkish relations with a lot of hautala and a difficulty or problem because don't complain to anybody, for a patient even somebody next to you should not feel that you have a problem nobody only to us all the time remembering him and difficulty he should be strong believers should be strung around in a somebody has so many lessons every part of the body was defective so many illness and he used to sell 180 or 100 people ask him you know why you sell 100 why you think alive and nothing agree Saudi
knew about any everything has so much problem. So the person said you know he has given me a tank which can thank you I thank you for that. In the thing how much Allah has given you and you complain if you become like that people love you people worship you. Even ice away people become an advocate. You know, the way of the other people is they they You are the money and then with the money you buy things in nice ways what you realize Wait, you don't have money but you buy the three people don't buy a service if by three people if you follow Ibrahim the three people that can see become your slaves
era hence the way mix ins your slaves and the way other worldly people were to buy slaves with the money you can buy slaves and with falling grimy Islam you can buy the three people you can buy the zebra him so very very very deeply turn away from everything to Allah and Allah or Buddha for the love bayek Allahu Allah byculla Baker luxury Kala Kala bike in the handle and now the lack of luxury color all the time keep saying to anyway, this is somebody cuz we don't have much time to keep that in mind that hi Amara. They basically are much deeper they have they are they are only to teach you salah and Sabra. And Sarah and Sarah both are what companionship on the Santa in the LA Hamas
library. I lead with dogs who pray and then we don't do something Why doesn't NASA mousseline because that's obvious anyway, we're only sovereign sovereign need to have in the law slavery or otherwise the meaning in the law Hamas sirene wamalwa Sunday those who pray and allied with them to seek help with that. So inshallah we'll do the ombre and I'll explain some of the Amara as well and if you have any question you can, you can ask
the way that in a Hara you know people when they go for, they have to put on a harem and
it starts with the Marathi Tamil article we are certain places you know, before that or that place, you must put on your hair on Iran mean set for the mill, you know, unsewn cloth to cross with intention of Amara, I'll mention how to make intention.
So women or men are not allowed to have any sort of cloth, anything is sewn and they should uncover the head. The hair should not never could be covered.
And far the feet, you are in your car, 200 female which I'm referring to
Meditation because you know it in more passion, it's easy for us anyway. If you should uncover three bones, three rising bones, they should be uncovered when do you know a center three bones are these two bones? Doesn't this one and this is in the middle the rising bone, the three bones should be uncovered. Is it clear to everybody now we don't need you to tell you we send you to go by yourself we don't have think properly. You don't need if somebody comes and take your finger and hold your hand to set this by this one No You decide. Another way to instruct his face and then they do decide to anything that can you know, wherever anything can by which were these two and this this ball
that what you need to do for the women, they will remain in that normal clothes, they don't need to have any new clothes. But what they need if some people are having trouble covering the face, they should uncover the face to be immersed
women's around in the face.
We advise people for the male for the women at the NFR The men were right because you know if you go to me apart and then you start opening your suitcase and this and that reclaim our time the best thing really come after work prayer put on both shoot for you know and put your pillow in the suitcase then you don't need to in your pocket to take up all this investing really put your signal from here and your clothes from here don't make intention in that what you do. And then after the release we come to the refinery for delivery find me part of the people of Medina to the prophets Allah has made me art for everybody for every place for IRA the mere party that unify the florist
charm me a party Java for people young human and those who come from that mere party emblem to for every place he making your part of me part of the people of Medina in the fillet for now this call for longtime a br Wally so there used to be some will set people named a br onizuka is we try to do the flavor that now we must see that a lot of you know bathrooms you can have shower too When we arrived there you can go there and have a shower but since we are living after warfare, so it is better here dovie combined with the laurasia you remember travel to I'd advise people don't pay us to hear because you know after our software you know any enough to play the macro. So what it is
good to start with around with with a peer to the calculator I'd advise putting your software and nothing else. And then when we arrive there forever there we can play in JAMA our own Jama to the castle. And after us the player then we make in Tisha for a Hara is a career to before era before intention. You can use soap you can use perfume you can use anything as soon as we have done to rock our prayer and after the Salah will make intention to you will say in in your alarm a new reader Amata you know I want to draw Amara for your sitter Holly what a pub Bell hominy Oh Allah you can see an illusion with Allah I make I have an intention to do hamara so make easier for me. I accept
from me. I mentioned SLA the Nia is already in insula from the heart no doubt about that. So this is not actually near what actually happening in Hydra Nomura we want every single part of the body to confirm what to do the body is confirmed by cloth you know the heart is confirming mind is thinking allows of tank tanks you say that I'm gonna you know be everybody know declare this and zillah back loudly every article around you know that vital It is very important that declare it from your tank which people should say with the tongue to the natural intention it is basically to everybody know that you are not because in the pastor when people know that somebody's wrong, they should not do
they will not attack the person they will be thinking a safe to disagree right declaration so that was in the genre okay listen, you know whether we inshallah type our question cuz you know people need to make an order.
Are we going to allow a new era odorata or you can say new genres Allah, Allah, Allah in neuroma for Silla Holly water herbal hominy Allah I want ombre so make it easy for me an excerpt from inshallah, when we are there, somebody will say I never will repeat. Once you said this, then immediately c'est la vie Allah mela la byculla Sri Kala Kala back in 101, near Ana de la. Well, Monica la sharika. Like once you said these words, now you are offering now you cannot apply any perfume. You know, and you cannot milk cannot wear any soul cloth. And men and women they cannot have any relation in and desire the sex. You know it all
We did from that and until people come out from from from from the era, and all the time keeps in the back, especially when you see other to sell a backlog, make it clear as if it's not very loud, but she's been listened by other people they know you are in Iran. And whenever you know, you climbing the hill seller back when it comes down seller buy all the time basically either just passively some, some people in the court should keep repeating, like an auto Hakeem should save him. Some people in the front, the thing I lost with everybody can follow them. People don't don't sleep, you know, make people awake to keep saying Look at this. Listen, this, this is you know, people
maybe Clearly, the women are sort of women don't need to say very loudly, but also they should say in a browser, there was a biker lamella back properly, too. She said, let me show how to put on whether
it's very easy, not very difficult, but for the people who are coming for the first time.
You know, what happens
when you make, you know, like lower one, two, like that just basically easy, just you know, put here.
And then you know, just make like, you see it holding itself. Nothing, nothing too big
of a show. And the second one
just put on like that
easily. But when we come to Horan, we need to what we say is a table is the valleys to put for to anchor the right shoulder and then put on on the left one like that. You see this? I don't expect this is about this God, bah, bah, I define it, okay.
Got it goes from that from above or from the side.
So what happened is you put on a camera I explained to you and eclipsing the bike along with a bag until you're until you come to market. And when you see the car, then don't sell a bike. Now, you can look back basically saying that I'm coming to you. But now you're coming up to us after now you don't need to look back wanting to sit in the car now. Now you're remembering the back wall that I'm telling you when I said that, and now you can listen to that, too. When you arrive there. You don't need to say center again, thinking that you know it did not happen sometimes some people were they already know Qifeng same way insulin all the time, keep thinking. Now the back ends as soon as soon
as you are in the interim analysis of higher Lower, lower, lower lower
level data. And you know, millimeters we had
the Hadith. When you see the Kaaba first time, whatever you ask it you accepted any die you make first time accepted. The Mahabharata was very clever. To the first time when he came on he saw the Kaaba to he Mirza Oh Allah whatever I asked you during my stay in Makkah accepted the now he make one door in close every single thing there is so he said, Well, that's not whatever I asked you unless, you know he just wants to you ask anything he can give you that you can make like that. I also used to say similar because you know, are you so much impressed by the formula, then I think he really is it you know the prophets, Allah less alum, either, you know, much more wise than anybody
else. You know, see what the professor always used to ask that over piety. Because once you get that, well, then you have got everything anyway, in the law. monoterpene you know, and I think really, when you see the Kaaba, ask Allah Allah. If you become Buddha, then then everything with you anyway. I live with you for success in this world with you in hereafter adieu, in a poor vision comes from and that's one thing that dope with tequila is we are Zukerman Heisler is a dude who
unless hautala you know gift from God they cannot imagine and in the
people without any way you can make any dough you can you can make a draft or Brd movie masala make Medusa establish the fear but once established the player live with you anyway. To watch your announcer you can see many other things you can but it is better for the believers. Just to ask is more thing that will give me a wife or something like that you know it's more thing because that he gets anywhere you can ask also that asked me the thing because once he loves you then he can give you anything. Don't ask is more thing in that in in like in legal articles and by the CalHFA milk. Then we'll come anyway daughter by the cow father done that this cow has more than two I buy
discount or by the cultural moment.
When you come that this and then no doubt we're going to start off at the lovely start from the blackistone to the sooner to kiss the stone and they start off and they start the bath goes right away. To you go move right side of the cover. I don't like people when they say anti clockwise because they know it is a negative term. You know culatta goes anti tough that you can say but the wife is not anti at the office in the right direction. It is right you go right direction.
Therefore you should be I don't like these books when the right like that very very bad way. Simple thing either you know you are you ago you take the right after our simple that how is an Islamic everything right to you start from the blackistone and you move on the right at Aqaba, you know. So, either you kiss, it is crowd you cannot kiss it you can touch it you can attach it to at least the person sometimes used to
in touch with something else in a stick or something in his hand. If cannot do anything at least at the moment to at least point to it like that. I said Bismillah Allah but and then and keep doing Declan don't take for two then all the sudden you are in with a lot of hautala
in Orlando medicine once again remember was when I asked what does he mean to refer to I set up the number I want to interview of I said to him I want to marry your daughter sada
Abdullah do not answer me I was disappointed that you know he did not listen he did not actually accepted my proposal. And then I after O'Meara, I came to Medina to he met me in the summer. So he said, You know you remember that you mentioned to me and name of my daughter throw them off.
But you know, in Tabatha Guna hi Latoya in the raffia Sinhala Allah was there. So I did not like to say anything. But if you still want to marry then I can marry her. He said yeah, I know my desire to marry her is strong as possible. And then he called her his daughter and few people not being together and he married immediately to see the higher law. If you see Allah, very bad, really you see yourself you want to make your picture in tomorrow believe or should not see anybody you know this photo how long they will last? And what benefit they do I do understand that if people make their own photo, what what memories there really isn't enough for you to read off and make and just
record you why you want to make your own photo make and just do this. If interest make photo there's a more lasting remaining all the time. Unnecessary really investing the time just know keep doing the math, and that's what they know and remembering human thinking properly. You know, household is another, another 100 Luckily, among all the T's in the hayama the best thing I like it the lovely stuff is so nice to know faster, when you go to
the corners of the you know,
the house of Allah subhanaw taala the Kaaba the four corners so one is in very started that is rockin your money and
then you go and that is a rock and then you have a rock nice Shami and then you have again Aqua money the two rupee Daria money both openly Amani they are on the foundation three Brahim either to karate and Xiaomi they are not our foundation Brahim actually found him a little bit more but Porsche did not have enough money to they basically built a car by less than what was the data by the professor Lana some whenever he did the Rafi one leak test to to ruin your money when the when you kiss adduced alarm after his thumb means touching your kissing appointee. You want to start from the blackistone that record your money. Then you come to Brooklyn, Brooklyn Araki, then you come to
show me that again, you come to another room and there's a rubra Yamani there you do still I'm like that and then you come to our disciplines
like Estonia, what are your money here, your one shot is complete. Now again, you know, you guys and the second sustainment shot you do in the first three shows the minute they do what is trouble and level of meaning you uncover your right shoulder the infested one, and then you move
into Rama Rama means you move like a break people like fighters reason is when the processor doesn't care for arthropoda and Quraysh we're on the mountain to death oh these people in the weather of Medina has made them very weak. So when the President realized then he said don't walk like you know fighters they know the proper then you let the dead because sooner than sooner to walk like that in moving you're just a proper leg and let people do marching daarmee the simulus should be in the first ratio and then after that you don't need to arm normally the first three shows
so and then you seven after seventh you know you do to recap prayer in the harmony where it is better to do near makanga here so there's a place in Harlem you know it framed with the glass and their foot history right Muslim but anyway this kind of to me
the whole cover the whole area under any of this is in East Asia. It is better to do to record around that area to recap prayer method will also then come and record a thumbs up. Then after that you go on to Sally and save the stuff from suffer because the professor has said if the Obama will start from where ally started to from suffer to marva one one shot for America to suffer to this how to get the 710 meaning basically is it that you start from from suffer. And last one will be in America and you will be in America.
When men are walking so, there are a placecard a to call between two green signs of meat and Allah codeine is very much marketed in green area to when men come there they have to run faster walk faster you can say that running. The reason is because safarnama both for him to win harder than lottery and as she used to run to she could see her challenge. But when she she comes to the you know this displace it was like, like like basically Wally the she could not see herself to death she used to run
in either anger she didn't suffer too She can walk and she also could smile. She's fine but when she comes down she could not see as much as she's now running. Though you know people say in a salon women don't have any Polish aqualisa fun America is a memory for women nothing else. Safarova isn't even I have did not work on the farm Ottawa is my do not work on suffer. marva Safa Marwah is just actually memory of a woman she was running between these two mountains in ocean seven time and becoming a part of the part of the original journey with the men had to walk there faster. They walk faster everywhere but they're like running is it clear to when you go to marva you run there and
when you come from sufferance marva to suffer same thing in desperate physically
you know I mentioned that in the reason is because when she was looking for the water to his mind he wasn't lying. And when she came to suffer to she could go look water and she also called school zebra is my deadline but when she's coming down now she cannot see smile to she running to marijuana she also can be able to see smile to dad plus you've been running to that why is running had become there sooner though it is it as soon as a woman but somehow it innocent of other women now women don't run we will only work under normal speed men have to run men have to copy the woman running women have to be communists that normally speed that how the sooner in displace it once you're done
this image shows then the fact that men It is better to shave their head
properly if you cannot save then you can shorten the hair and in honey mother It is better to do shorter nigo saving for the most of the hair most of the head that inheriting mother advises a mother they are allowed in any part of looking I'm gonna shuffle out a few here that are so common for the women the suit nice to shorten the hair because the hair is beauty so just shorter somewhere you know some something from from there you know as long as that that's fine the cut with the scissors something so that after you have done this then you are free of your Hara you know you can have come in but you can come in normal clothes and then after that do either meet the office right
now you don't need to do any work if people something want to do it allowed you can go to your path and what I
hate is that that area with people want to do a run they can go there and the last one is my CFO he has a lot on her because she didn't run from there so many many many buses and taxis they keep going there you can go there put on Iran come back again to another ombre to Iran is very fun to many many hombre though it didn't we don't know any sooner the parser doesn't he in the same journey he did more than one or two I personally prefer Do I need to have as possible. If you cannot do anywhere in the world that is the only place where you can do the math
on when you stay there all the time. keep remembering Rahim Islam, the power of materialism, their sacrifices, and theory they analyze their data. I love the house, you know. And you know I think that we have come to learn how to pray and I have come to learn how to be patient. Don't complain with him. Complaining it's very last word have never liked any complaint or why unless it Yahuwah is la cosa in the Moscow bothy Bahasa Nila, his son has been taken away from him so much patience. He said I will only complain my grief to to Allah iacob never compared to anybody else. He'd never have to be angry with the children. He said that he knows that they they're lying.
Because he has to be the knight and this is the same people in the house. So my son, you know, we had to learn the subject in this journey. I think I should have started inshallah. And if you have questions, please ask.
We just finished this.
raise your hand.
When we say lubic along with a big can it be said in unison. I've heard that's not allowed. Wherever I says it together.
People can remind it'll mean again, make don't make any hybrid because it's competitive according to the audio my interview. So you can see on your own you can see what the Gema but don't make anything. You know, Gemma is one thing we could remind.
Sometimes they should say the people awake. And then everybody said they will get asleep and then somebody else are gonna start saying to buy this
think I've got to get people awake people forget.
But don't make anything hybrid.
Sorry, come on is that when you will avoid halifa, we will do so as an asset to her. Yeah. And then after that the near, there's no reason to do it any additional, or the further assert any special tools, or nothing, nothing in her arms should be done after any player, any player is for the player, or if they know first by the player that wants anyone to follow any of it. What will happen, though, we can say that everybody was there, once everybody's done, we'll do we do play together, and we make a home together and come out otherwise, in a long time, if everybody knew themselves, you know, take time, and we have to be quick enough
to make the new karma earlier, they pick it up and say quickly, and sleep in the night.
actually have a number of questions. But I know I'm restricted to one Otherwise, I'll be thrown out and shut him.
I just wanted to ask this one. When we do the two AF we should be in a state of Voodoo, because he's active Eva. Yeah. So it hasn't. Yeah. So just wanted what if, after our know, three to five minute breaks, for whatever reason, need to go re perform the kid do I restart my app again? Or do I start from where I left off,
turn it off is like prayer to it the VA should be done, I'd be prayed major and, you know, should be clear from any major or minor impurity, the worst line and overdue properly. And if they're already broken in metadata, go to and start from where you left, you don't need to repeat it with you record a three shot instead of a maybe thracia entire shot, near broken allottee. To go and come back and start from there. You don't need you actually did not obligated done in a month ago. You can do it in one week, one week, one shot one day, second shot, second day, it does not need to be done in sec. But if you don't do the few remaining, but they're often not necessary to be done in the same
way this understand for the women that are sometimes women in their monthly cycles. So they're not they can do from here they should do they should do around they should have bought for him, you know that that battle only for a harem. And if they are not pure, there should arrive there. They do decra they can go to suffer miroir see the car but Cassie and Acaba it says Ali Baba and suffer mirwaiz out of harm. You can see the console there and see the Kaaba. Once they are built. Then they high button and they will boot off and after that they can do suicide and that is to remove the after after the film. And when she did the walk she was killed. And after her cyclists stars they
know what mistakes you can do side by side and not in any build side and not evil side and that inability of Guardiola D the dead in Assam, our our better flats they are booked if it is actually happens that women say, you know,
cyclists stars when we arrived Makkah until we are there is still there, you know and the cost what it can do can we cannot delay the flights. So then the solution basically is they should retire the clothes around in their place and properly and then do the work of making sure that no impurity in the harem. And then they are for a blood and then at least sacrifice will be like you know, like it's sacrifice over time will measure you know, enable and the drill down. So that is ruling for the women. In other question
chefman starting the toe off is they just want to be able to tuck this
Mufti Shafi stuff he mentioned in his GitHub, it's it's taught me so one is the beta harima. And the second is the STM. No, no, there's nothing do nothing. Just this is this will allow it assume that nothing happened in electric duck with the Hema prayer in prayer. If it was a lot of work, we're not wedded in Taiwan, this is not obligated just sooner to say this will not allow but
it's not if
it only wanted to be strong, nothing else that exists. Is there nothing to it and only one it is soon that narrow digger did not was he
in the Salah that would be
farther in the player in the thought of not worrying, you just definitely if you don't say anything is defined.
Because the mighty
slogan, is there any significance of the seven circuits sometimes ask, Is there any significance in the number or number number actually are very important that you understand the measure really easy, that one number is only for Allah subhanaw taala and the second is completion for human being other than Allah for the two numbers make completion. And if you made the third one in the middle, to more concrete, because then you have a one on two and something in Middle Earth because something in middle, it actually is connected with the both didn't
more complete, then you add one more in, you've got two pairs, the more complete to four. And if you make something in middle, to do a 201,000,005, it's a more computer considered to press Time, Time Time, the prayer five times, can more complete Baraka, the printer, five Raka pray the other two, or three or four, you can see prerequisites resemble, say, are the completion first, for first company number two, second, complete number three, the fourth, the fourth, third, fourth company number four, and after this fight to take off, it goes to all the other than player in what happens is the completion of it goes beyond the five and beyond five out of 10 you add one more six, but six, since
they're having something in middle or the visit is more complete to that why conceit in many meetings Islam seven number important because seven number basically means you have got six a completer number and then something immediately, which makes them more complete. So, there have been many meetings and so, what happens when you have seven, it also gives you permission to not complete it needs one more, you keep doing more and more, they do want to
do again more second or third or fourth or two when unless mother wants Alibaba to be done more and more he makes an odd number after completion or number to five times per year. Then if you call it five five not complete let me do more than a few more soon more clear that he wants to get sense of completion but also sense of incompletion.
Come back to
sorry about the numbers. I will teach inshallah sometime when I teach about the prayers because I want to one day I'll teach the proverb prayers that we are teach about numbers inshallah properly here it's just a quick question i don't think are quite cool what you said but um every so that each time you're passing the Blackstone you raise your hands and say Allahu Akbar yes Dylan but it is not you know, not obligatory it is soon not recommended, but not obligated to do anything nothing happens in the corner before that come over the name do you also your money do you also do still on there used to raise your hand
to rock and roll you have is still on because look NASA had all four pillars been on the partnership right then the profit would have done is still I'm all for the CES two of them are not his foundation to not want to test it you just want to hear him touching the corner the only tie the two corners not the other two
there are lights up in fluid green lights seem to trade this is the this is the Blackstone is and this would be the other open
lights connected to even if you can't see the production it's quite difficult to see to be honest just follow the lights like laser beam light so that will make
you know you will see also see when the people come to the block of stone
people slow down considerably to the place where everybody slow down the car everybody starting there can sell a serious there.
You mentioned about the Islam on the rockin family before the Blackstone. Yeah, and you said you said that you can even kiss this corner as well. Yeah. When I was here previously there was a man with a big beard who had chosen to stand there and when everyone was kissing that corner before the Blackstone he was basically telling them off and shouting at them and not that I think either corner that corner or that corner
will be slim anyway that I remember people do touch in our case what that is that they were doing this yeah yeah and he was saying no no and he was he seemed to think this was they thought it was the Blackstone or something so you know how to do
it but I think what I know is Islamia for both yes so it's okay yeah
i'm sure one of the best places to make door around the cover is in a specific area you know can do actually the professor Lana's
like at the city house of Allah tala to in especially like the gate the professor less alum used to hold a part of the gate discard what doesn't and cry there and weep there and you know, the collective like you have your mum to simple that
door. You know, you know, taba in Aqaba because a Blackstone, Blackstone is like a leather right and in this world, simple to understand black is don't basically like a leather right and in this world, in the car, but you just want to hold it and you just want to, you know, touch it, you want to kiss it. You know this is what happens to the car, buy the whole car virtually any place people can interface. People can do it because they love the house. So that what the meaning is
But it's interesting no doubt really that we do this because unless What the hell are allowed us otherwise we worship Allah so when I was in the house, what has been in the house is basically our our, our point of reference you can say, but worshiping Allah Allah is not a delectable house is Tabler to like you know it was a manifesto It was a biblical or had another people are no marketing. The people are thinking they think Kava is not the Tabler it actually guide to Qibla Allah subhanaw taala to when you are to pick two people this is the only guide guide to the stabilize Allah tala no doubt is the real killer
brothers one last question earlier on if her team was part of the Cabal what can we not face it and pray solo?
Do you know the thing either Hatim.
In a sense it has been from from the time that perhaps a lot of time has been out of the car but not in the car. So you you must make effort to face the building not the hottie do it actually we believe that is part of karma because that way Alfa cadet actually is always doubtful. Because since Allah subhanaw taala even made this happen to now inhotim is not a you know part of the club anymore. You know, though it should be so people don't allow people in for her don't allow just phase the QA team you have to fail if you are faced in a way you can face face part of the cover as well. I've heard people say that hikmah in keeping the Hatim like their toe in Africa, most of the
rivers they are not allowed to enter the Kaaba. Now because I think you can go in hottie directly in the Kaaba. So you know, it's our limit at 14 but as Christians, it has been left out to not be on it's only to not cover. It was part of the Kaaba but not anymore.
I was once told by an auntie that where the Kaaba is situated, straight above the is the arch of Allah. Is this true?
arch of Allah azza wa jal is this true.
Asafa lies encompass the whole universe everywhere anywhere you see a bar that allows the founder because what's the ACO summer what are the two you know he's the CO CEO in compact the whole university basically around every single thing in the US consider haven first hammer second hammer
arbeiter mamula Yeah, there's a place which I just put up Yeah, yeah, that actually it was a Korea to do it like this carbide and other caba that carbofuran just got a battle Mahmud II that is what I just do. It is people say ti straighter Iboga yell better maamria salami.
Is there any prayers or Fatah? Sir? Is there any pairs at all? Yeah, remember to recall it was up after two after if you do to lock up their device. Yeah, you should be done. It was to lock up there.
is there no No, no.
No, I understand that.
Okay, so we've completed so we get to January 1, we just got my grand Next
Sorry, inshallah, while we're in a state of Islam, we know we can't you know, put perfume on cut toenails and cut our hairs. So I just wanted to ask this does that also mean that you can't cut anybody else's here? So for example, I mean to
finish my camera, it's now time to cut the hair you know, so we need to have our hair shaved first so what if the wife needs to come over
here and cut you know you're not allowed to hunt any any animals but your own you cannot cut into somebody else's I don't see their problem I don't think anybody said like that. If you're hunting animals or something like that, that's not allowed to you know, cutting the tree of the hell I'm just not allowed this is not allowed. So but somebody else said because the company that they did this they shut other people think all over Iran so how they came from Iran somebody somebody shift somebody else. And that never happened department department come to you if you share somebody else, that's fine.
Can you explain what's allowed regarding to certain things people sometimes use to keep up the edge ram so some people use the money belts to keep keep it on some people I've seen before like people use a big safety pin to the top ones to keep that together. what's allowed and what's not allowed in terms of those things. Yeah, thankfully the clutter from the unsewn but something's not part of the cloth like you're by hand by our legacy belt is allowed or like a pin set. Because pins are not sewing pins basically helping you that's fine, too. pins are allowed.
belts are allowed. If people have got some handbags, no hanging, all these things are allowed. But not so close to cloth it should not be sewn. But something not part of the cloth. That's fine. There can there can out too bit order will have been out because from very beginning because people used to have money, they can't live anywhere and at that time people do not have voted. If they leave money somewhere else they somebody will steal. So they used to have you know, this belt, the belt technical problem. They used to call him young to him. Yeah, and always I mean allowed. You can have belt. Yeah, sometimes they are sometimes very difficult to tight properly. If cannot tie then yeah,
And then if you want to do the high five and up your alley, they're sitting in the cellar. These belts there, you can buy the belts there.
You can buy belts here as well, you know, anywhere, some people cannot tie properly then put on the shoulder. Are we allowed to wear watches and rings?
Are we allowed to I which is fine, but it is something is not close? disallowed. What is fine? Yeah.
Avoid a ring, it's like that they're fine.
Somebody can just, um, I think for those who do Nomura for the first time, I think there's one common problems they have is when they do top off, people forget on which number you know, there are sometimes they forget what know if they're on the second one or third one? What should they do? Yeah, that's very important. Make sure that don't forget that it's very important. So you know, count the next electron. Once you have done one, that's you know, put on one finger, put your hand on one finger, the second one second finger, third finger in the fourth, five senses, you know, make something let us be something Decker, you have to count. When you if you forget it, then we go to
the least number if you say the sixth sixth of seven, to make a sixth that if I were allowed to when this matter happened. If you think more laterally seven, that's fine. If you don't think it would be more likely, then go further list number without a B three and four, make it three and then do the four and five and six, seven, but you know people should make effort. But what are you doing with this we showed you? Is it clear?
Enough is wajib can you perform the Salah after a certain after fudger know that Salah actually should not be done in mcru time do you have to wait? Cabo Hanafi madhhab Salah never should be done after IC o After further prayer until sunrise it properly in midday. All the time with Mr. Crew, this law should not have done 12 people have been tough. And the mcru time comes wait until the innamorata has gone then you do your Salah to occur.
When you can do sorry, there's no problem there's no problem you can just
return and disallow you do after every
you know after you're done. You're Amara you do
the lab you do to the kassala then you do sorry tomorrow finished but after that you can do is met after that. But after every tough boost to appear after every
question was like
some people when they won, I remember once when I first came were off second time in which somebody said actually I did 100 throw off his shoulders.
He goes yeah, so he thought that 1231
not seven Yeah, once one time I missed a shot seven rounds, understand when we say what the revenue is seven rounds to seven and I also understand once you start
then a completion because obligate then you must to say my shot is understood you know that you can live in midair anywhere. Once you started, you must complete it in that is the same goal maybe later on after that you will want to go for lunch or dinner, but you have to do seven is it clear to want to miss seven shots, seven rounds. And once they start then it is not obligatory to complete simple things same app when you start then because obligatoire team will have well over 30 after starting completion because obligatory other organizers soon sooner, but once you make a Heron intention, then a completion of ombre becomes obligatory once the start of luck and inevitably if you start
never pregnant they're completely invalid because obligatory so similarly when you start the VA completion because obligatory
in regards to when and so forth Salah during your tawaf what should one do when for Salah is in between your safe fifth round, what should one
follow the further do further and then after that you start your offer a very left you know your happiness, okay, you know, you start doing stuff and then another place start, nobody do migratoria and then after that is
Do you have to refer me left? For I'm very, very little. That's important to remember when we look on the front there is a
question from early on that in a photo op, do you have to do Romel? And no, there's no nothing the only fast that anytime after we didn't know sorry, that no random noise table after that normal cloth, nothing, it will only fall when you come in first what that will do after that? No, after that you just normal? No, definitely will not normal growth anyway.
Would you Can you remind me of what the hifi position was regarding shaving the head?
Most of the hair should be more or shorter most of them? Yeah.
Yes. You said an accepted device when you see the Kaaba first time is there any other point during our visit where it was accepted like perhaps from St. Louis or any other point in the in the whole journey is actually analyze their whole journey is looking at you know, that is the whole journey basically very similar to the prayer understand when you in the prayer enlightening to you in holy journey when it's put around that why don't backbite not lie, don't complain, because the last part company or lack to someone else, the theory or the problem comes in the part of Allah and you complaining him nothing basically all the time turning on the face will be him laughing loudly
making jokes in the making unnecessary stories, commenting on the people you know laughing at the people making with their bad names, nothing should happen looking at each other badly men should not look at the women with the desire women should not look at the man with the desire or should be you know for many people to understand that there is
basically this whole thing that I bother O'Meara from beginning until you finish it I bother that you are staying muckety muck around with Alibaba in that city since are multiplied by many many times either good deeds or multiplied by many meters understand if a backbone there the city not a small cell is a much much bigger if you lie there they're much much bigger if you break a private cell is much much bigger in that place Be humble serve Allah subhanaw taala now for every turn around for a man till we are in karma, we already know in investing I forgot and when we leave maximum karma before leaving we should do to alpha
the alpha laughter because he in the province and I said that last thing that you do in mkhaya see house of Allah go and do the work because a lot of house and then you do when we are about to leave before that people should have enough time should be reminded what time they do the rough to go and do last but don't need to last moment that everybody had to wait for you, you know do in proper time when people announced is that what I'm here to deliver? Do the Rafah come back for the women if they are you know they're you know, they're not to the north of Africa they don't need to throw out off but if they are killed then they should do also tough
Can you just remind us what type of footwear is permissible please what type of footwear because there's been quite a lot of issues what type of shoes sandals
you know where anything with where your three boards remain uncovered to side on yeah like something like that simple.
Yeah, the three wands rising boats in the middle and two sidebars that what people need to uncover then you will save then your obrah every month
kind of pull out a new your middle bone here
Yeah, this can cover for example
this one here in the front? I think so again do metatarsus
right hand and the two ankle bones again
no socks no you know nothing no socks nothing is to be uncovered I
just wanted to know if Can you just run the penalties so let's say for example of I forget and I put
a put on some actor or you know I accidentally you mean cut my nails bite my nails. So what what sort of penalties for this
country by heart because it has so many complications for something that is there sort of once a month for something more severe that they like what sheep sacrifice and, and major sacrifice.
But it's only three cases major sacrifice come of mostly one blood means one one sheep. And in many, many more kalecki somebody has covered their their head for a longer period. There's some sort of positive that the forest molten salt and something bigger. We have a sheep
And then even bigger than that, then Kamal
I ran back to one of the one I came to I met somebody from from from from Zillow. So he said I was offered a sacrifice at the time and so I said What happened? What do you do mistake he said that by mistake one of my hair was broken,
broken by mistake, what is in the room and for that he went up and offered sacrifice a full commitment.
If you do manage to get a camera shallow enough to help you with that show, because I've been you have to go take you to the things slaughterhouse and all the sort of things we had one person were to do sheep last year. So do conduct Bible course or if you need to, you know, sacrifice
shift from it from a previous onra now you realize that you made a mistake Should we do the sacrifice now? Yes, sacrifice will be done in a heartbeat anytime. You notice. If you prevent an any any any major mistake which initiates sacrifice at any time.

Relating Health To Physical Schooling
Setting the Scene: The first time I ever saw him present was in September, 1983. In 1975, the United States Home of Representatives voted to require school physical training lessons embody both genders 25 Some high school and a few middle school PE courses are single-sex. Studies in middle and highschool populations have strengthened the evidence base on relationships amongst self-efficacy, bodily activity, and social assist (from adults and peers).
Overall, the research discovered a constructive affiliation between basic motor expertise and physical activity in children and adolescents, in addition to a optimistic relationship between fundamental motor abilities and cardiorespiratory fitness. Physical schooling is a course taught in class that focuses on creating bodily health.
Sedentary behaviors similar to sitting and television viewing contribute to health risks each because of and independently of their affect on physical exercise. A big prospective study discovered that bodily exercise was inversely related to melancholy in early adolescence ( Hasselstrom et al., 2002 ; Hallal et al., 2006 ); fewer studies have been performed among youthful kids.
Taken collectively, nevertheless, the out there evidence supports helpful effects of bodily activity in promoting bone growth ( Bailey et al., 1996 ; Modlesky and Lewis, 2002 ). A top quality bodily schooling program for grades K-12 ought to include educational periods of 30 minutes a day at the main degree and forty five minutes a day at the secondary stage.
The reciprocal relationship between motor expertise competence and physical exercise is weak in the course of the early childhood years (ages 2-8) due to quite a lot of elements, including environmental situations, parental influences, and former experience in bodily education schemes ( Stodden et al., 2008 ). Additionally, children at this age are less capable of distinguish accurately between perceived bodily competence and precise motor skills competence ( Harter and Pike, 1984 ; Goodway and Rudisill, 1997 ; Robinson and Goodway, 2009 ; Robinson, 2011 ), and thus motor expertise aren’t anticipated to strongly affect physical activity.

Lax for ME & the GALS, a girls lacrosse tournament that benefited both the Maurer Foundation and the Girls Athletic League of Smithtown (GALS), was a great success, raising funds in support of our breast health education programs as well as the GALS initiatives. The Foundation was honored to be part of this athletic event, which promoted physical activity – a lifestyle choice known to help reduce the risk of breast cancer.
Held on October 27, 2013 at Smithtown High School in St. James, this friendly all-day lacrosse competition drew an attendance of approximately 300 people in support of our life-saving mission along with girls’ sports. Approximately 20 lacrosse teams enthusiastically participated, with players—who ranged in age from grades 4-12—receiving Maurer Foundation backpacks as souvenirs. The Foundation also provided pink and white cookies and pink ribbon wristbands that were sold at the event along with T-shirts imprinted with our logo.
The Maurer Foundation has shared critical information with over 200,000 women to date, in large part thanks to the support of fundraisers such as this. Presentations that are brought to schools, colleges, businesses and community organizations focus on everything from breast cancer myths to examinations. The Foundation’s programs explain the steps in conducting breast self-exams, an important element in early detection.
“Our goal is to make women aware of the facts regarding breast cancer and early detection, and it is just as important for girls and teens to know about the preventative measures they can take now, such as exercising and getting proper nutrition,” stated Maurer Foundation Executive Director Debbie Hecht. “We are thankful to have had the opportunity to participate in this action-packed day and appreciate the efforts of the volunteers, school representatives, guests, fans and of course the players.”
Events such as Lax for ME and the GALS are excellent ways to bring communities together and provide a fun, family atmosphere that makes a difference by helping others. Interested in hosting a similar activity? Contact the Maurer Foundation to request a program or coordinate a fundraiser!

Firemouth Cichlid Stats
Minimum Tank Size: 29 Gallons (110 Liters)
Care Level: Moderately Hard
Water Conditions: 6.5-8.5 pH and Soft to Very Hard
Temperature: 68-89 °F (20-32 °C)
Maximum Size: 6 inches (15 centimeters)
The firemouth cichlid (Thorichthys meeki) has a long history in the aquarium trade, and has been kept by aquarists for well over a century now. And even though it is one of the oldest fish in the hobby, it still remains very popular to this day. This is due in no small part to its relatively docile natural (for a cichlid), stunning fiery coloration on the underside of its jaw, and its fascinating parental care. All of these traits makes it a highly sought after fish, and a wonderful addition to nearly any aquarium
These fish are native to the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, and are found throughout Belize and northern Guatemala. Invasive populations have become established in Hawaii and Puerto Rico, and they have been sighted on mainland United States in recent years.
Their habitat varies greatly, though they generally tend to prefer shallow, slow moving water. These fish can be found in everything from muddy water with poor visibility, to crystal clear water with sandy bottoms. They are also known to inhabit slightly brackish water, and populations have been discovered in cave systems, ponds, canals, streams and even roadside ditches.
They grow relatively large in a home aquarium, and males can reach a length of up to 6 inches (15 centimeters), with females being slightly smaller. On average they will live for around eight years, though there have been reports of these fish living for over fifteen years.
For a single pair of firemouth cichlids, a 29 gallon fish tank (110 liters) will usually be sufficient. But since a pair of these fish will inevitably breed, it’s recommended to provide them with a much larger tank up front. A more reasonable minimum tank size would be 55 gallons (208 liters), and this would allow the addition of tank mates, as well as providing room for any potential fry.
Though these fish generally do best when kept with other species of Central American cichlids, they will also coexist with other peaceful fish of a similar size. They will become aggressive during spawning, so it’s best to avoid any overly docile, or bottom dwelling fish with these cichlids.
Their aquarium should mimic their natural habitat as closely as possible, and this can be accomplished through using a sandy substrate and flat, smooth stones. Plentiful driftwood should be added, and they will also appreciate the addition of caves. Clay pots placed on their sides make excellent, affordable caves, but make sure to stay away from glazed or painted pots as they may be toxic.
Live plants are usually avoided with firemouth cichlids, mainly due to their digging behavior. However, if you still wish to add plants to their aquarium, hardy plants like Java ferns, anubias, and Java moss are some of the best options. A wider range of plants can be consider if they are potted, or their roots are covered with large stones to protect them.
Even though nearly all of these fish are breed in captivity now, they still tend to be sensitive to water conditions. It’s always recommended to provide them with as close to pristine water as humanly possible, and this can be accomplished through the use of a high quality filter, and regular weekly water changes.
A good choice for a filter is a hang on back filter, which is both economical and efficient. I strongly recommend using an AquaClear Power Filter, and it’s the filter I have on the majority of my aquariums. I’ve used nearly every type of filter on the market, and these filters are both effective and durable. With only minimal maintenance, they will keep an aquariums water pristine for years to come.
Firemouth cichlids primarily feed on crustaceans, and invertebrates in the wild, with the occasional addition of plant mater and organic detritus to their diet. This should be reproduced as closely as possible in the home aquarium, and can be accomplished through the feeding of a high quality flake food, and regular offerings of frozen or live food.
Since most of these fish available are bred in captivity, they will accept nearly any prepared food, but my personal recommendation is Hikari Cichli Gold Floating Pellets fish food. This food contains only the highest quality ingredients, and will help to produce vibrant colors in your fish.
Firemouth cichlids favorite frozen foods are bloodworms, brine shrimp, daphnia and blackworms. They have similar tastes in live food, and they will greedily accept blackworms, wingless fruit flies, mosquito larvae (illegal to culture in many areas), daphnia, copepods (may attack plants and fry), and cut up earth worms (make sure they haven’t been exposed to herbicides or pesticides).
It can be very difficult to sex juvenile firemouth cichlids, but it becomes easier as they mature. The males will generally be larger than the females and will have extended dorsal and anal fins. They will also have a much more intense coloration than the females – something that will only increase as they get into breeding condition.
Firemouth cichlids breed easily in captivity, and will normally mate without any intervention from the aquarist. However, they should still be provided with a high quality diet to help condition them for breeding, and regular water changes should be maintained.
A proven mated pair can be used for breeding, but if you don’t have access to any mature fish, a group of six juveniles should be kept in a tank, and they will naturally pair off as they mature.
After the fish have paired off, breeding will normally follow soon afterwards. The eggs will usually be laid on a flat surface, and the most common site for a female to lay her eggs are on flat rocks. Some fish may lay the eggs directly on the aquarium glass, while others have been known to lay eggs on decorations and driftwood.
Like many other cichlids, it’s not unusual for new parents to consume their first few batches of eggs or fry. This is nothing to be alarmed about, and nearly all cichlids will get the hang of parenting after the first few tries.
The female lays long rows of eggs, and the male will then move along them, fertilizing them as he goes. This will continue on until the female has laid all of her eggs, and the male has ensured every last egg is fertilized. A mature female may lay up to several hundred eggs, and both parents will care for the eggs after mating.
Unlike many other cichlids, it is mainly the female who tends to the eggs. The male seems to be tasked with guard duty, and will protect the area around the female and the eggs aggressively. This can be a dangerous time for tank mates, and most aquarists recommend keeping a separate breeding tank to protect their tank mates.
The fry will become free swimming in under a week, and they can be fed baby brine shrimp, or even powdered flake food. The parents will escort the fry around the tank, ensuring that they find enough food to eat. This will usually continue on for around six weeks, and then the fry and parents will go their separate ways in the tank.

Doctor James Jennings, Family Medicine Specialist at Baptist Health Primary Care, explains Weekend Warriors are the people who cram all of their physical activity into weekends, because their lifestyle is overwhelmed during the week by their job. Dr. Jennings says he motivates his patients to do anything they can, because, there is no bad exercise or activity program. He recommends not to be afraid to initiate something that could be easy to do over a weekend for just a couple of hours.
Doctor James Jennings, Family Medicine Specialist at Baptist Health Primary Care, recommends to have a small meal prior the workout for receiving the benefits of the exercise. When exercising early in the mornings with an empty stomach, Doctor Jennings explains, the person has a risk to suffer from hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), has no energy and therefore will not get the benefits of the exercise. Nutrition is the fuel lines, the key. Try to eat early. It is important to have a good breakfast, a snack throughout the day with healthy foods including fruits and nuts. The idea is not eating a lot at nighttime before going to bed, he says.
Doctor James Jennings, Family Medicine Specialist at Baptist Health Primary Care, reflects on how much time should be dedicated to the recovery of muscles after an intense weekend warrior session and says that's depend of the intensity of the exercise. Hydration, resting and eating a good and healthy meal help the process of recovery, he says. The specialist recommends not exercising always all or the same muscles and alternating routine and body parts helps to recover faster after a Weekend Warrior.
Lower back injuries, knees and shoulders are the top-three injuries that can occur after a Weekend Warrior session, Doctor James Jennings, Family Medicine Specialist at Baptist Health Primary Care, says. He explains injuries can put a person down for a period of time. If the patient suffers from a lower back pain, the specialist doesn’t recommend to practice running, cross fit or similar. Core training is the baseline of being able to do a lot of different activities and the doctor recommends keeping the core strong with exercises like swimming or yoga to prevent back pain.
The time a person spends without exercising is a variable that must be taken into account when designing a new exercise routine, according to Doctor James Jennings, Family Medicine Specialist at Baptist Health Primary Care. The doctor says he pushes people towards doing warm-up which would include stretching individually in order to minimize injuries and maintain patients motivated. He explains he is real big on preparation in terms of low key and when the patient is ready for the next step, he increases it. However, he recommends being very careful with older crowd, especially if they have not been doing exercise for several years.

The Cato Institute [By Collen Hroncich & Solomon Chen] –
As a mom and a former teacher, Bucks County resident Jamie Walker knows the importance of education. And she’s exasperated by policies that have been instituted in the wake of COVID-19, such as Pennsylvania’s mask mandate.
“The mask mandate is frustrating on several fronts,” she says. “A few weeks ago, I attended a back-to-school night at Central Bucks South High School. I felt like I was in a hospital. I couldn’t understand what teachers were saying. I couldn’t see anyone’s face. This environment is leading to learning loss. A few nights later, I was at a Guns N’ Roses concert with 7,000 mostly unmasked fans. This is madness. Especially considering Pennsylvania’s guidance is so different than the World Health Organization (WHO), Europe, and ‘red’ U.S. states.”
She’s not alone in her frustrations. The third consecutive pandemic-affected school year has been marked by raucous debates over school mask mandates. As of Oct. 15, mandates have been issued in 16 states and Washington, D.C.; nine states have bans on mandates, and four of those have their mandate bans in legal limbo. In Pennsylvania, lawmakers unsuccessfully pushed to have the statewide mandate be subject to oversight like other regulations. District or county mandates add even more layers to disputes.
Meanwhile, countries throughout Europe, including the U.K., Ireland, and Denmark, exempt most children from mask requirements. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control recommends against masking in elementary schools. The WHO says young children should not be masked and recommends a risk-based approach for children aged 6 to 11.
These flexible policies are likely driven by the fact that children up to age 17 have the lowest COVID hospitalization rate – typically less than 1%. And the delta variant, although more contagious, does not appear more dangerous to children. Moreover, recent op-eds by doctors in the Wall Street Journal and The Atlantic show that the scientific case for masks on young children is not settled – particularly given potential negative impacts on developmental skills, mental health, and more.
While the CDC’s recent studies on masks invoked headlines such as “COVID Outbreaks Far Higher at Schools Without Mask Mandates,” the studies are far from conclusive that masks are the best solution. Neither study controls for other potential factors like teacher vaccination rates, and one states explicitly that “causation cannot be inferred.”
Considering the lack of consensus on the need for masks, there’s no justification for one-size-fits-all policies like Pennsylvania’s. Families should be able to choose schools that meet their needs, whether they’re for or against masks.
Parents who worry about the negative effects of masks may not have the resources to move their children to other schools. While Arizona and Florida have introduced scholarships for families who object to a district’s mask mandates and other COVID-19 policies, most states lack similar options.
**CLICK HERE to support Conservative Journalism in Tennessee. We can’t bring you great editorials like this without your support!**
These scholarships are helpful, but they should also be available for parents who want more stringent policies. In Florida, when the governor banned mask mandates in public schools, private schools took different approaches. Grace Success Academy decided to implement masks. Little Star Center, which serves many students on the autism spectrum, decided to use other mitigation strategies.
Whether parents prefer masks or not, the ability to choose a school with the policy best suited for their family is vital. This is the rationale behind a bill proposed by Wisconsin state Rep. Barbara Dittrich to allow parents to access open enrollment and school choice programs if they disagree with school COVID-19 policies.
Unfortunately, private schools have been swept up in mandatory mask mandates in Pennsylvania and several other states, including New York, Oregon, Virginia, and Washington. These top-down decrees prevent private schools from pursuing more innovative solutions.
For example, Christian Central Academy near Buffalo spent more than $200,000 on safety strategies like new ventilation and additional teachers to enable smaller class sizes. Many families enrolled in the school based on its “mask optional” policy. Then, just two weeks before the start of the new school year, New York imposed a mask mandate on private schools.
The school unsuccessfully sued to avoid losing families who don’t want their children in masks all day. According to Michael O’Hara, Christian Central Academy’s Director of Advancement, “Unfortunately, despite showing the safety precautions we’ve taken, we lost our case. We’re now weighing our options moving forward.”
One-size-fits-all schooling is never ideal, but it’s even worse when basic health and education hang in the balance. A “winner takes all” approach results in wrenching conflicts, and masking has produced some of the worst seen in years. Rather than burdening parents with heavy-handed mandates, we must empower them to choose the educational environment that works for their children – in Pennsylvania and beyond.

A model is usually needed during the design of stormwater treatments to help determine the appropriate size and design configuration, and prove that it meets minimum planning requirements.
The STORM calculator can be used to model stormwater treatments for small subdivisions, while Model for Urban Stormwater Improvement Conceptualisation (MUSIC) is used for more complex projects.
The general public can use the STORM calculator to design small residential, commercial and industrial developments, ensuring they achieve the stormwater treatment objectives required by state and local government planning provisions.
It is important that the STORM calculator matches the design shown on the plans.
Rainwater tank mistakes
The STORM calculator assumes that rainwater tanks are used for toilet flushing, with a water use rate of 20 litres per person per day.
A common rainwater tank mistake is to enter the whole roof area into a single row in the calculator, when only part of the roof is connected to the tank. Roof parts not connected to the tank must be entered as separate rows, otherwise the calculator will assume the whole roof is connected.
The size of raingardens is commonly misunderstood, with household raingardens typically being one metre high in total.
The 100mm and 300mm options in STORM refer to the extended detention depth, or ponding depth above the top of gravel mulch and below the grated cap. The following diagram of a raingarden has 100mm from the top of gravel mulch to the grated cap overflow drain.
MUSIC is a computer model representing a project or catchment area, the drainage connections and a series of stormwater treatments. It simulates rainfall and runoff at six-minute intervals over at least one year, and then treatment by sediment basins, wetlands and other water sensitive urban design measures.
MUSIC is more sophisticated than STORM, allowing you to adjust many design dimensions and model a series of treatments, called a treatment train.
To learn more about MUSIC and how to use and purchase the tool, visit the following webpages:
Melbourne Water MUSIC guidelines (see 'Tool guidelines')
MUSIC Auditor is a tool used by Melbourne Water and councils to assess MUSIC models and check they comply with Melbourne Water's MUSIC guidelines.
You can check your model before you submit it:

Rome, 7 July 2021. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), in collaboration with the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), held a virtual Global Dialogue on the role of food and agriculture in the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) on 6-7 July 2021. The GBF, whose first draft was circulated on 5 July, builds on the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and sets out an ambitious plan to implement broad-based action to transform society’s relationship with biodiversity and to ensure that the shared vision of living in harmony with nature is fulfilled by 2050.
The event aimed at raising awareness of the ongoing international policy processes on biodiversity, and at positioning agriculture sectors as key contributors to sustainable management and custodianship of biodiversity. Outputs of the Global Dialogue feed into discussions on the development of the Post-2020 GBF and the 15th Session of the Conference of Parties (COP15) to the CBD to be held in Kunming, China, in October 2021.
The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) is one of the biodiversity-related conventions, and fully committed to supporting the targets of the Post-2020 GBF, particularly those in relation to invasive alien species. Invasive plant pests are one of the main cause of global biodiversity loss, and their impact on terrestrial, marine and freshwater environments as well as on agriculture and forestry can be devastating.
On the second day of the Global Dialogue, Mr John Greifer, Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (CPM) Vice-Chairperson, participated in a roundtable where bureau members of FAO intergovernmental processes and biodiversity related conventions provided their views on the draft Post-2020 GBF.
In his intervention, Mr Greifer stressed the importance for CBD parties to consider the work that is already being conducted under the mandate of the IPPC with regard to the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures as CBD moves towards adopting its framework and individual targets.
Mr Greifer brought forward three key messages from the IPPC community regarding the current GBF draft and developing further its indicators. Work on the draft will continue at the third meeting of the open-ended Working Group on the Post-2020 GBF, scheduled on 23 August – 3 September.
First, he emphasized the importance of the existing IPPC’s phytosanitary infrastructure for managing invasive alien pest species. He encouraged Ministers of the Environment, CBD focal points, and National Plant Protection Organizations to cooperate towards the prevention, and if needed, the management of invasive alien species as a joint goal. The IPPC community believes that the new target on the invasive alien species in the GBF should include the concept of “safe trade” and consider both intentional and unintentional introduction of invasive species.
In addition, he highlighted the need to consider potentially invasive species for all ecosystems, such as forestry pests and aquatic plants, and to identify practical metrics to assess the impact of invasive alien species and progress in reducing their spread and introduction. Even if there is no single global method to record the impact of invasive alien species, IPPC members may support the development of national and regional lists to help identify invasive alien species of greatest concern. Furthermore, IPPC member countries have the capacity to carry out pest risk analyses and provide pest report statistics, which may provide valuable input for establishing base line information and assessing the impacts of future pest preventions strategies, said Mr Greifer.
Finally, the CPM vice-chairperson highlighted the approach to measure indicators on invasive alien species, which should take account of communications, resource mobilization and capacity development. Efforts need to be made to support more investment for surveillance and early detection, in line with the IPPC message of prevention being a better option than eradication or management.
The IPPC Secretariat encourages NPPOs to liaise with counterparts in the Ministries of Environment to bring up the points of interest for the IPPC community at the third meeting of the Open-ended Working Group on the Post-2020 GBF taking place on 23 August – 3 September ahead of the expected adoption of the framework at COP15.

What is Ghee and how does it help with your health?
Ghee is a type of clarified butter; regular butter that has been simmered until the milk solids caramelise and separate from the oil. These solids are then strained off, leaving a thick, golden oil.
Ghee is a staple cooking ingredient in every Indian household, and it has a delicious nutty aroma and flavour and a high smoke point, making it very versatile. It is stable at room temperature although, like coconut oil, it solidifies if the surroundings are cold.
Ghee is thought to be a healthier ‘good fat’ form of butter than conventional butter, because it provides omega-3 essential fatty acids without milk sugar (lactose) and milk protein (casein), which are the elements most likely to aggravate the digestive system of anyone with a dairy sensitivity. These omega-3 fatty acids prevent inflammation and therefore play a role in protecting against heart disease, along with improving immune and digestive function. Ghee also provides a good source of short-chain saturated fats, such as butyric acid, which are important for gut health.
Ghee is rich in vitamins A and E and the omega-6 fatty acid conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which supports eye, skin and heart health. Additionally, CLA may be helpful in preventing obesity and hypertension, as it has been shown to reduce body fat and boost muscle mass. Ghee is also used in Ayurveda, India’s traditional medicine system, where it is known as ghrita. Practitioners of Ayurveda recommend ghee to patients for treating indigestion, impaired bile flow and fatigue.
A plant-based alternative
If you are following a vegan or vegetarian diet and want to avoid animal-derived foods, Niulife Vegan Coconut Ghee tastes very similar to regular ghee and has an almost identical texture.
Peanut Butter Protein Oreos
For the cookies:
20 g Niulife Coconut Flour
1 teaspoon cacao
40 g chocolate protein powder
1 teaspoon Niulife Coconut Sugar
50 ml milk of choice eg. almond, oat, soy
Extra 1-2 tablespoons milk of choice, to bind
1 teaspoon Niulife Coconut Cider Vinegar
20 g Niulife Vegan Coconut Ghee, melted
For the filling:
20 g chocolate protein powder
20 g smooth peanut butter
40 g cashews, soaked overnight in milk of choice, strained and processed in a food processor
1. Preheat oven to 180ºC, fanforced. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
2. Place coconut flour, cacao, chocolate protein powder and coconut sugar in a bowl and stir to combine.
3. Fold in milk and vinegar, then mix in ghee.
4. Using your hands, mould mixture into a dough and roll it into 12 evenly-sized balls. Place balls on baking sheet and flatten each into a cookie shape. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, make filling by whipping or blending the protein powder, peanut butter and cashews together, adding a little milk if necessary to adjust the consistency.
6. Let cookies cool completely before sandwiching together with filling. Devour immediately, or keep in the fridge for up to seven days.

The back of this wooden chair, which belonged to the scribe Renyseneb, is handsomely veneered with ivory and embellished by incised decoration showing the owner seated on a chair of identical form. It is the earliest surviving chair with such a representation, and it is the only nonroyal example known. The scene and accompanying text have funerary import and may have been added following Renyseneb's death to make the chair a more suitable funerary object. The high quality of its joinery and the harmony of its proportions testify to the skill of ancient Egyptian carpenters. The mesh seat has been restored following to ancient models.

Your startup journey would include several organizational tasks, which, if not properly managed, can go haywire quickly. As an entrepreneur, you can schedule the deliverables, set up costs, and prepare the execution tasks. Thinking about tax in such an initial period is entirely consuming, especially when it involves GST registration, ITR, timely filing, etc. As a founder, it’s also one of the things you can’t always overlook. Although profitability takes center stage when you start the company, every penny saves as a penny gained. And one of the best ways to do that is to prepare your company tax strategy, just like how you’d plan your business practices with a holistic approach.
This would provide an incentive to create a buffer around future losses while ensuring you make use of the tax benefits.
Here are the five tax-saving tips that help startups and prepare them to plan and beneficially manage tax.
1. Knowing the rights and benefits of tax payments for your business structure
are subject to tax restrictions as changing government tax policies may change any time. It is, therefore, best to stay aware of Many businesses the rights you enjoy as a corporate taxpayer and leverage all possible advantages like getting a 100% benefit of an income tax deduction for the first three years, for example. The only exception is that you will need to pay a Minimum Alternative Tax of 18.5%. Also, as long as your company is licensed under the Startup India program, you can claim an exemption.
Many potential deductions also include Capital Gain Taxation, the SEBI Fund, and on the Angel Investments. As a founder, these rules must be understood and used to promote your company.
2. Enhancing your Tax Knowledge
Tax planning requires you to possess the right set of knowledge. Understanding the tax laws and how it affects business operations is essential. Therefore, the first step in developing such awareness is learning about tax standards. Do this by educating yourself on business, and at your convenience, refer to a blog by tax experts.
Start learning about applicable tax laws and regulations before gradually moving towards enforcement. Understand that there are regulatory bodies that regulate income tax and exercise strict market controls. Seek to define your business’ tax requirements to get started.
For example, Lemonade can also be considered under Aerated Drink in the Pulp Juice category. Lemonade, if categorized as Aerated Drink, is taxed at 28%, but if classified as Pulp Water, it is taxed at 12%. Thus, the uncertainty in classification can be taken as a benefit to save the Production GST until the department receives any clarification.
3. Document your Possible Deductions
Startups are entitled to a deduction for their “usual and required” expenses that relate to their operations.
• Books or magazines
• Job travel
• Training materials and other such expenses for business programs.
• Leasing and home office facilities (only pro-rated portions).
The only catch is that any expenditures that you subtract would require receipts or paperwork to save them. Save all your receipts as you collect them for the best performance. Instead, when you pay your fees, give them all to a company that scans and organizes your receipts electronically automatically.
4. Choose Business Structure Wisely
While creating a new company, understanding the business structure is best, as each form would have different tax slabs. Companies will raise the tax, and as a startup creator, you will strive to reduce taxability. E.g., the sole proprietorship tax slab varies from 5% to 30% above the standard exemption cap. The tax slab for Partnership Firms and businesses with LLP registration is taxed at a flat rate of 30%. The business tax rate is 22%, subject to some limitations, and has also been bought down to 15% for new manufacturing firms.
Tax authorities consider LLP and normal partnerships alike. With Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT), most promoters prefer LLP over the Private Sector. This is because DDT is paid on a company’s profit distribution at a gross rate of 15%.
5. Hire/Consult Tax Professionals
Hiring business management providers is a smart way to tackle company taxes. You won’t have to think about boring things like filing GST returns, holding account records, etc. Roping in tax professionals ensures the company meets all required requirements and takes care of the nitty-gritty involved in smooth running. Also, their experience will help you make important business decisions.
Often all your company needs are proper tax professional guidance on tax planning and full tax-related enforcement power. It’s also an excellent way to plan your company for any unexpected contingencies.
While most startups are cautious about taxes, some still lack clarification. It is because taxation has multiple sub-branches, which is a bit too difficult for entrepreneurs, and requires a lot of time. Also, reinventing the wheel is not a viable choice for some companies as onboarding, an in-house Company Secretaries and Chartered Accountants would result in more in-house departmental and thus more running costs.
By keeping an external team of tax experts advising you not only ensures that your company stays compliant and leverages tax advantages, but it also helps to plummet your company obligations. You can then concentrate on core business operations, keeping regulatory issues far out from your usual business matters.

Expert joins sustainable livestock event at COP26
Researcher joins panel discussion on future of Brazilian agriculture at UN Climate Change meeting.
A scientist whose work on sustainable livestock production has influenced government policy in Brazil is to join a high-profile event at COP26.
Dr Rafael Silva, a Chancellor’s Fellow in the Global Academy of Agriculture and Food Security, will take part in a Sustainable Livestock panel in Brazil’s Pavilion at the Glasgow event on Monday 8 November.
In this panel, government representatives and farmers will discuss promotion and adoption of low carbon emission technologies.
Dr Silva’s expertise is in applied mathematics, working with models of agriculture, food security and biodiversity conservation, to better understand the relationships between energy, livestock and deforestation.
He previously informed policy with regard to livestock contribution at COP21 in 2015, when Brazil first announced a target of zero deforestation in the Amazon by 2030, as part of Brazil’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).
The researcher led a government-commissioned study that estimated that zero deforestation is possible by restoring around 10 per cent of Brazil’s 170 million hectares of pasturelands, along with investments required to achieve that goal.
Research showed that by intensifying existing and poorly managed pastures, the livestock sector would be able to capitalise on growing demand while reducing the need for more land conversion in the Amazon.
To achieve that, the government offered subsidised loans through the Low Carbon Agriculture (ABC) programme, offering credit for farmers willing to restore their degraded pastures, so limiting the need to clear natural vegetation.
At the UN climate change meeting in Glasgow, Dr Silva will give scientific advice to support discussions on sustainable intensification routes, and the evaluation of the success and the future of the ABC program.
The event will bring together scientists, government representatives and beef cattle producers.
Brazil faces the challenge of reconciling international commitments on greenhouse gases, biodiversity conservation and maintaining economic growth in the agricultural sector through meeting global beef demand. This is taking place as other countries support reduced red meat consumption.
The agricultural and particularly the land use change sectors are central to COP26 negotiations as countries put forward their net zero greenhouse gases emission targets. In the case of Brazil, deforestation in the Amazon and beef cattle are major contributors to Brazilian emissions. But simply reducing meat consumption is not always the best solution; there are ways to reconcile deforestation and production with sustainable practices that avoid land conversion while sequestering carbon.
I am glad to bring my knowledge and experience to bear on this important issue at a global event. Now is a critical moment for the future of sustainable livestock and COP26 represents a valuable opportunity to make key decisions.

Drumragh Integrated College
The case clarified the importance of the statutory duty on the Department of Education to encourage and facilitate integrated education.
PILS Member: Integrated Education Fund
The PILS Project acted as the applicant’s solicitor throughout the entire case. We obtained a legal opinion from our pro bono register. We instructed a barrister to take proceedings. We were successful in entering a Protective Costs Agreement with The Department of Education. This agreement limited the financial risk to the PILS Project if the case was lost.
This case concerned a challenge to the approach taken by the Department of Education to a development proposal submitted by Drumragh Integrated College to increase pupil numbers. The Applicant claimed that the Department of Education had failed to consider its statutory duty to ‘encourage and facilitate’ integrated education, under Article 64 of the Education Reform (NI) Order 1989 and the Good Friday Agreement. The applicant also claimed that the Department’s education planning process failed to incorporate the statutory duty.
The High Court found in favour of the Applicant. The Court held that integrated education was a standalone concept and plainly envisages education together at the same school. The Department of Education had not complied with its statutory duty to encourage integrated education.
The High Court ruled that the Department of Education’s ‘Needs Model’, which underpins area-based planning, was ‘inflexible’ and provided an ‘additional difficulty’ impeding the expansion of integrated schools. This creation of an ‘additional difficulty’ is the ‘opposite of encouraging and facilitating’.
The Court concluded that the Department of Education needed to be ‘alive to the Article 64 duty at all levels, including the strategic level.’
This judgment is extremely significant in clarifying the wide-reaching statutory obligation of the Northern Ireland government towards the promotion of integrated education to include the strategic planning level, which had not allowed for any growth in the integrated sector. The judgment has helped to create 2,000 new places in integrated schools.
The judgment has also led to the establishment of links between high level decision makers in the Department of Education and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) supporting integrated schools. PILS was part of a Judgment Implementation Group (JIG) after the judicial review involving Drumragh Integrated College in Omagh. The JIG brought the school and relevant civil society groups together with the Department of Education to ensure the judgment was brought to life and its ruling implemented.
The judgment has also linked into a comprehensive review of integrated schools, as well as a significant amount of funding being allocated to the integrated sector.

How infamous lady outlaw Belle Starr won the Game of Thrones in the Wild Wild West.
Belle Starr really knew how to get out of a jam.
Born a southern aristocrat, she became a scout for the ruthless Bill Quantrill’s guerillas in the Civil War.
She had an illegitimate child with a roving brigand before “settling down” with another who would later be shot for bounty. When asked to ID the body so her husband’s killer could claim his reward, she told an ice-cold lie that it was the body of a stranger. He was buried in a potter’s grave and his killer never received his bounty.
Meanwhile Belle Starr had gained a position as Queen of the Bandits, “The Petticoat Terror of the Plains.”
Throughout her life she added to her pantheon of outlaw lovers, who only seemed to get younger and more handsome as she aged, and were rumored to include an incestuous relationship with her own son.
Of the many times Belle was arrested for stealing horses and charmed her way out, she once eloped with the deputy. He returned to Dallas after a month confessing he had been worked to the bone with house chores and romance. He later found an embarrassing note affixed to his coat that said, “Returned because found unsatisfactory.”
Belle and was once bailed out by a wealthy rancher who sold cattle paid her $2,500 at her request. It turned out that the fine was only $10. Belle spent an evening with her savior but refused to return her $2,490 profit. Despite advice to sue her, the rancher is rumored to have said, “Hell, let her keep it! I reckon with what she’s had to put up with she’s earned every cent of it.”
She eventually “settled down” again with Sam Starr, son of notorious Cherokee bandit Tom Starr. They were eventually both tried in court for horse stealing. According to a local paper, the fact that Belle was “the leader of a band of horse thieves and wielding a power over them as their queen and guiding spirit” packed the stands.
She was sentenced to nine months, which she passed pleasantly by weaving cane chair-bottoms and making friends with the warden and his wife. She was released early on good behavior, while Sam served his full sentence with hard labor.
It is said that when while scouting she was captured by Major Eno, who detained her so that she would not ride back to Carthage to warn her brother. They eventually let her go after it seemed too much time had passed for her to arrive in time. She rode hard, stopping only to cut new switches for her mount. When Eno’s soldiers arrived to capture Bud, they were greeted by his teenage sister they had just left behind, who politely informed them that Bud had left half and hour ago.
It is said that when Bud’s casket was returned from the Confederate front, she shouted “You damned blue-bellies will pay for this!” and grabbed her brother's revolver from his holster, taking aim at the troops and pulling the trigger. The ammunition had been removed, otherwise she would have avenged her brother’s death on the spot, against his brothers-in-arms.
Did she blame them for leading him into battle? For not protecting him? For sowing seeds of violence and glory in his imagination? I rather think she was prone to such fancies herself, and the troops were just easy targets for her legendary anger.
Let the women of the West take you on a wild ride. Their stories and scholarship about them, including Belle Starr and many more fascinating females, can be found in books available here in the online Museum Store.

Accountability is one of the most important traits of high performing teams. It has a direct impact on productivity and engagement and, consequently, results. It is also linked to increased commitment to work and employee morale. Accountability is about taking responsibility for an outcome and not just the task. It’s about following through and delivering what you committed. Accountability is important at every level of the organization and when every member of the team demonstrates accountability, it leads to strong and cohesive teams, where people trust each other and work together to reach a common goal. However, many organizations lack this significant trait among their teams and fostering accountability isn’t always an easy thing to do. Often, when employees aren’t accountable, the managers hesitate to call them out to avoid harming the work relationships or, worse, demoralizing them. Also, many managers micromanage or spill out their frustrations in the name of holding people accountable which, in turn, negatively impacts employee performance and motivation. Today, we all work in a collaborative work environment where we have to depend on others to complete tasks, and if people aren’t accountable, the efforts of the entire team get wasted. Holding people accountable is essential for team management and thankfully, there are some simple yet effective ways a manager can do this.
Employers and managers often talk about team building but very few actually understand what it takes to develop the spirit of teamwork. Team spirit is all about feeling that you are a part of something larger than yourself. Effective team building in the workplace requires understanding the objectives and vision of the organization. For building an efficient team, every member needs to understand that they have to work with their fellow members and contribute to the overall functioning or success of the organization. Although every employee has a distinct role in a company, while working in a team their work collaborates to serve the bigger picture. Team building impacts the organization in a myriad of positive ways which is why it’s extremely important to focus on effective team building activities.

Sugar junkies take note: a calorific diet isn't just bad for your body, it may also trigger Alzheimer's disease
SUZANNE DE LA MONTE's rats were disoriented and confused. Navigating their way around a circular water maze - a common memory test for rodents - they quickly forgot where they were, and couldn't figure out how to locate the hidden, submerged safety platform. Instead, they splashed around aimlessly. "They were demented. They couldn't learn or remember," says de la Monte, a neuropathologist at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
A closer look at her rats' brains uncovered devastating damage. Areas associated with memory were studded with bright pink plaques, like rocks in a climbing wall, while many neurons, full to bursting point with a toxic protein, were collapsing and crumbling. As they disintegrated, they lost their shape and their connections with other neurons, teetering on the brink of death.
Such changes are the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease, and yet they arose in surprising circumstances. De la Monte had interfered with the way the rats' brains respond to insulin. The hormone is most famous for controlling blood sugar levels, but it also plays a key role in brain signalling. When de la Monte disrupted its path to the rats' neurons, the result was dementia.
Poor sensitivity to insulin is typically associated with type 2 diabetes, in which liver, fat and muscle cells fail to respond to the hormone. But results such as de la Monte's have led some researchers to wonder whether Alzheimer's may sometimes be another version of diabetes - one that hits the brain. Some have even renamed it "type 3 diabetes".
115m people globally will get Alzheimer's by 2050.
If they are right - and a growing body of evidence suggests they might be - the implications are deeply troubling. Since calorific foods are known to impair our body's response to insulin, we may be unwittingly poisoning our brains every time we chow down on burgers and fries.
People with type 2 diabetes, who have already developed insulin resistance, may be particularly at risk. "The epidemic of type 2 diabetes, if it continues on its current trajectory, is likely to be followed by an epidemic of dementia," says Ewan McNay of the University at Albany in New York. "That's going to be a huge challenge to the medical and care systems."
All of which highlights the importance of eating healthier foods and taking exercise to reduce your risk of dementia. It may even be possible to reverse - or at least decelerate - some of the cognitive decline in people who already have Alzheimer's, by targeting the underlying insulin resistance. If so, that would suggest new treatments for the disease, which has so far evaded any attempt to treat it.
35.7% of people in the US are obese, putting them at greater risk of Alzheimer's
A new understanding of Alzheimer's can't come soon enough; it plagues an estimated 5.4 million adults in the US, whose care cost $130 billion in 2011 alone. Worldwide, 36 million people have the disease, a figure that will rise as the population continues to grow. "We are desperate for an effective therapy," says John Morris, a neurologist specialising in Alzheimer's disease at the Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis.
For a long time, the finger of blame has pointed squarely at the beta amyloid plaques that amass in the brains of people with the disease. Alois Alzheimer, the German psychiatrist and neuropathologist for whom the disease is named, first described these strange protein deposits over a century ago, when he noticed apparently normal brain cells filled with strange fibrils. In the areas where the disease had progressed, the fibrils had merged and moved to the surface inside the cell, where they folded together in thick bundles. "Eventually, the nucleus and the cell disintegrate, and only a tangled bundle of fibrils indicates the place which had formerly been occupied by a ganglion cell," he wrote.
The origin of these plaques is only partially understood; we know that beta amyloid is a fragment of a larger protein that helps form cell membranes in the brain and other parts of the body. It is also thought to carry out important functions of its own, such as fighting microbes, transporting cholesterol and regulating the activity of certain genes. What prompts the protein to clump into the deadly plaques is something of a mystery, but if the new research is right, a diabetes-like illness might be a trigger.
This new focus follows a growing recognition of insulin's role in the brain. Until recently, the hormone was typecast as a regulator of blood sugar, giving the cue for muscles, liver and fat cells to extract sugar from the blood and either use it for energy or store it as fat.
We now know that it is a master multitasker: it helps neurons, particularly in the hippocampus and frontal lobe, take up glucose for energy, and it also regulates neurotransmitters, like acetylcholine, which are crucial for memory and learning. What's more, it encourages plasticity - the process through which neurons change shape, make new connections and strengthen others. And it is important for the function and growth of blood vessels, which supply the brain with oxygen and glucose.
As a result, reducing the level of insulin in the brain can immediately impair cognition. Spatial memory, in particular, seems to suffer when you block insulin uptake in the hippocampus; the effect is almost the same as that of morphine, says McNay. Conversely, a boost of insulin seems to improve its functioning.
McNay points out that this role in the brain "makes evolutionary sense", since it would help us to remember the location of a food source. As our ancestors gorged on berries in the savannah, for instance, the spike in glucose and the subsequent rush of insulin would signal "remember this, it's important", causing the brain to crystallise the memory.
But as we know from type 2 diabetes, processes that evolved to help us meet the challenges of prehistory can easily backfire in the modern world.
When people frequently gorge on fatty, sugary food their insulin spikes repeatedly until it sticks at a higher level. Muscle, liver and fat cells then stop responding to the hormone, meaning they don't mop up glucose and fat in the blood. As a result, the pancreas desperately works overtime to make more insulin to control the glucose - and levels of the two molecules skyrocket. "It's like you are knocking on the door and the person inside is ignoring your call. So you knock louder and louder," says de la Monte. The pancreas can't keep up with the demand indefinitely, however, and as time passes people with type 2 diabetes often end up with abnormally low levels of insulin.
Weight gain seems to amplify the problem - 80 per cent of people with type 2 diabetes are also overweight or obese. Though the mechanism is still unclear, obesity seems to trigger the release of inflammatory and metabolic stress molecules inside liver and fat cells that disrupt insulin action, leading to high blood glucose levels and, eventually, insulin resistance.
If McNay and de la Monte are correct, a similar process may lead to Alzheimer's. They think that constantly high levels of insulin, triggered by the fat and sugar content of the western diet, might begin to overwhelm the brain, which can't constantly be on high alert. Either alongside the other changes associated with type 2 diabetes, or separately, the brain may then begin to turn down its insulin signalling, impairing your ability to think and form memories before leading to permanent neural damage. "I believe it starts with insulin resistance," says de la Monte. "If you can avoid brain diabetes you'll be fine. But once it gets going you are going to need to attack on multiple fronts."

Not only the postmodern era is characterized by manifold, contradictory, and hybrid temporalities. Earlier epochs were already marked by temporal and medial pluralities. Examining these pluralities expands both our knowledge of the past and of the present. The 15th and 16th centuries are particularly suitable for this. This period sees not only spatial expansion, religious diversification and media restructuring. It also sees temporal changes: a growing presence of measured time, rigorous time management, and the formation of a notion of time independent from the Aristotelian tradition. In particular, literature and the arts – in new media forms – explore the whole range of temporal semantics and dynamics, and play their part in pluralizing and hybridizing the idea of time, largely shaped by Christian models of salvation history.

Rationale: It is hypothesized that the affective dimension of dyspnea (unpleasantness, emotional response) is not strictly dependent on the intensity of dyspnea.
Objectives: We tested the hypothesis that the ratio of immediate unpleasantness (A(1)) to sensory intensity (SI) varies depending on the type of dyspnea.
Methods: Twelve healthy subjects experienced three stimuli: stimulus 1: maximal eucapnic voluntary hyperpnea against inspiratory resistance, requiring 15 times the work of resting breathing; stimulus 2: Pet(CO(2)) 6.1 mm Hg above resting with ventilation restricted to less than spontaneous breathing; stimulus 3: Pet(CO(2)) 7.7 mm Hg above resting with ventilation further restricted. After each trial, subjects rated SI, A(1), and qualities of dyspnea on the Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile (MDP), a comprehensive instrument tested here for the first time.
Measurements and main results: Stimulus 1 was always limited by subjects failing to meet a higher ventilation target; none signaled severe discomfort. This evoked work and effort sensations, with relatively low unpleasantness (mean A(1)/SI = 0.64). Stimulus 2, titrated to produce dyspnea ratings similar to those subjects gave during stimulus 1, evoked air hunger and produced significantly greater unpleasantness (mean A(1)/SI = 0.95). Stimulus 3, increased until air hunger was intolerable, evoked the highest intensity and unpleasantness ratings and high unpleasantness ratio (mean A(1)/SI = 1.09). When asked which they would prefer to repeat, all subjects chose stimulus 1.
Conclusions: (1) Maximal respiratory work is less unpleasant than moderately intense air hunger in this brief test; (2) unpleasantness of dyspnea can vary independently from perceived intensity, consistent with the prevailing model of pain; (3) separate dimensions of dyspnea can be measured with the MDP.

5 Factors To Consider Before Starting IOS App Development Project
With the emerging technologies, several doors have been opened for app developers to choose the development platform. When it comes to iOS app development, it always wins over heavy competition due to the phenomenal features this platform offers. With the introduction of certain frameworks, tools, libraries, techniques, and strategies, the efforts required from an app developer have significantly reduced. Since the time of the Apple Store’s launch, the demand for iOS applications has become never-ending. It is providing massive opportunities to individuals encouraging them to start a career as iOS developers. With great benefits, there are some principles that need to be followed while developing an iOS app.
As a beginner, you need to keep in mind certain elements around which app development revolves. Let’s have a look at the 5 key factors to consider before starting the iOS app development project.
Define the App’s Purpose
Before starting the development of your iOS application, make sure you are clear about your app’s purpose. Make an outline defining what you basically need and come up with an effective strategy. It will make you understand the objective of your iOS app and the target goals it should achieve. Your app should be capable of meeting the specific needs of the target audience. Before you start coding with a blank mind, it’s crucial to define your app’s specifications for an efficient and successful iOS app development. Research about your competition, determine how your app can make the customer experience better, and add value to your business.
Determine the Target Market
No matter how remarkably you have created an iOS app, the entire process would be of no use if it doesn’t succeed in gaining customer’s attention. Create marketing strategies to make your app prominent among other competitive iOS apps. Therefore, you need to perform in-depth research about the target market and audience. You should be well-aware of the iOS platform and know what your target market is. You can use surveys, questions/answers, reviews, and customer segmentation that will help you to decide which strategy would be most beneficial. Create a profile for target users and determine the average age and location. This will help you in creating an iOS app based on customer’s needs, gaining their attention instantly.
Have a Plan for the App Development
Planning is the initial and major step when creating an iOS application. Give a good amount of time to the planning phase and focus on the key points covering every aspect of the app. Make a to-do list before starting the implementation of your iOS app and include your app’s idea. Keep in mind to develop an idea based on market research. Study the technology required for developing your iOS app and consider the latest technologies as it instantly enhances the app’s capability. Focus on minor details regarding user interface, ensure the security measures and create development criteria for your iOS app. As iOS apps support both iPad and iPhone, thus optimize your app according to the selected platform.
Build Your Coding Skills
Here, coding experience and skills were highly significant for successful iOS app development. As a developer, you constantly need to polish your coding skills, learn new technologies and languages. Get to know about the latest frameworks and tools, practice writing code for the small iOS app to a larger one. Try to integrate advanced functionalities into it as it will advantage you directly making you capable of developing outstanding iOS applications. You need to be perfect with your coding, and to reduce difficulty while developing an iOS app, learn Swift programming language which is easy to learn and use. It enables you to develop the app much faster without requiring much effort from you.
Pay Attention to Content Layout
You need to be very careful with the content layout of your iOS app. Apple is much concerned about this element and wants developers to pay extra attention to it. The content of your app should adjust the varying screens of the iPhone and iPad perfectly. By focusing on the content layout, you’ll eventually improve the customer’s in-app experience as they don’t have to scroll right and left all the time. The iOS application development firms follow three rules for Apple iOS design namely clarity, depth, and deference. Depth defines the app navigation requiring certain effects like smooth transitions and visual layers. Clarity means content visibility while deference refers to intuitiveness highlighting simplicity and neatness in app design.
In a brief, iOS app development is in high demand and requires a certain skill set to develop an outstanding app. iOS supports both iPhone and iPad platforms, thus choose your respective platform wisely and construct an app strategy according to it. Keep in mind the purpose of your app and focus on creating a plan of action for your app containing all necessary points. Perform target market research, practice coding frequently, polish your skills and pay extra attention to your app’s content layout.

Did Australia Bribe or Donate?
The drunken guy here – in the village of Thunaivi was shouting at his brother in law – calling the latter’s wife a whore. The whole neighborhood gathered around them – without anyone trying to intervene. Two weeks later – everything seems normal between the two families.
There is law and there is culture through which we find fault with each other. The lawyer for our opposition in a testamentary case stated in court many times – that I was married twice – and that did certainly seem to have influenced that particular judge who said that I was behaving like a street woman. If there was some element of Truth to it – the return karma is not likely to happen in a direct way. To be true – the person claiming / accusing ought to have been hurt or damaged by such characteristic. I took legal action in Australia against the persons who I believed were responsible – but the Courts overruled it saying that they did not have jurisdiction. Subsequently the person who initiated it within the family – lost her wedding chain at the Sydney Murugan temple and I felt that the karma was returned. The leader of the group claimed in Court that she was not allocated a dowry but was given a donation!
The above are examples of different mind orders within Vaddukoddai where the first declaration of Political independence was made in 1976 and this strongly influenced the Tamil Tigers.
Where the gap between the Politicians who made that declaration and majority people of that area is too wide – such declarations die naturally without nourishment. Whether the Tamil Tigers were Rebels or Terrorists is determined by who makes the assessment and/or what measure is used. The Sri Lankan Government which was instrumental in listing the Tamil Tigers as Terrorists – now stand accused of allegations of bribery and corruption. The latest one is against the current President of Sri Lanka – all the way from Australia.
As per Australian Broadcasting Corporation / Fairfax reports:
‘Engineering giant Snowy Mountain Engineering Company is being separately investigated over claims its staff sought approval to pay kickbacks to foreign officials, including a donation to the party of Sri Lanka's president Maithripala Sirisena when he was a cabinet minister’
Given that the current President – Mr. Sirisena was part of the former cabinet – and given that the Sri Lankan media is also heavy in its criticism of the former President – Mr. Rajapaksa through allegations of corruption – should one be surprised by such revelations? As I said recently in Thunaivi – during a public meeting – ‘where someone in a family is weak and it is allowed to prevail – the weakness is bound to become public knowledge.’ As they say in Tamil – ‘when the price of eggplant gets cheap (i.e. when the supply increases) it will come to the market’. Likewise corruption reports. Once it comes to the market – the whole group / family stands accused of that trait. Many of us have suffered due to this ‘habitual pattern’ of the mind – due to Tamil Tigers being labeled as Terrorists. Whoever contributed to the manifestation of this – i.e.- the matter coming to the market – will get their share of return karma when an innocent person suffers due to such label.
The above mentioned allegations – may not end up with lawful action against the current President. As they said to me in terms of defamation – Australians did not have jurisdiction over Sri Lankans. Why so – even if the laws were identical? – because the thought order is not arranged as per the documented law – but is strongly combined with cultural thoughts and inner beliefs – to allocate rights and wrongs. Buddhism being a foreign religion to Australia – there is bound to be differences in thought order, due to these inner influences. It is for this reason that when something is purely local – to those who have lived in Thunaivi over long periods – I do not get involved. They would not understand my reasons in using a particular measure – and I would not understand theirs. When there is a need I use Truth which is awesomely Universal.
Recently the local priest here in Thunaivi-Vaddukoddai - lost his brother weeks before the priest’s daughter’s wedding was to take place/took place. Under normal circumstances the wedding would have needed to be postponed until the ceremonies were completed for the one who passed away. As per my knowledge this period is 16 days for priests and 31 days for lay persons. Our priest was able to complete the ceremonies within the 16 day period. But some had said that because the brother who died converted to Christianity due to migration and due to him becoming non-vegetarian after that – the longer period of 31 days applied. Our priest was naturally anxious. When he came to our temple the day before the wedding – he asked for my blessings. I kept my hand on the priest’s head and blessed that the wedding would go well and also that the marriage would be healthy. I believe that our minds merged and the father of the bride did not reveal signs of anxiety any more. I shared my Truth which cured him of his anxieties due to a bigger system in which he was no longer important due to his old age. Our system was much smaller but it was based on my Truth. The priest connected to this due to his faith in the same Deity – Mother Kali. THAT is the value of Common Faith. This would not have been possible if we did not, at our temple, replace blind rituals with healthy practices that did not contradict the values of old rituals. To our priest – the blessings were from Mother Kali – in whom our priest has deep faith. The priest could see for himself that I was still going well with my development projects in that area – despite the low law and order level in those local folks. This helped him connect to my faith and therefore my confidence in current measures. The wedding went well and confirmed the value of common faith.
Had the Sri Lankan President resorted to common faith – he would have been able to override old habits. But the old habit of allocating foremost place to Buddhism invoked the previous thought order – and hence to the extent the President also caused the punishment of his former boss – he invoked his share of that punishment by activating Article 9 of the Constitution. If ethnic conflict is something of the past – then Article 9 needs to be eliminated or at least kept passive. Once activated – it comes up with the problems that the President’s horoscope includes.
Time and Place give different forms to the same Truth. There are many who are critical of former President’s reliance on the horoscope. Others have appreciated that as being instrumental in the new regime taking its place. But the above mentioned allegations confirm that old habits die hard. They have confirmed that the current President is activating old mantras instead of using his Truth within the local group – a group that is the parallel to those sharing common faith through our temple. This group is strongly led by our family – common to Sri Lanka and other nations that have become home to our extended family. Faith has no limits through Time and Place based boundaries. Then there are members of our Engineering group – like Santhirahasan & Pushpa, Thiruketheeswaran, Vaddukoddai youth group – such as Raj Gunaratnam and Prabha Maheswaran who resource us when we have a need – Professor Prem Kumar & wife Thavamany who regularly contribute to our educational programs - even though we do not ask them. The higher level contribution is from those who express their appreciation of my sharing of experiences. That goes direct to the higher mind – starved of immediate returns and therefore is open to higher structural returns. Without the latter – including through myself – my programs would not continue. It’s the common belief that keeps the motivation going.
One of the names that crops up here in Thunaivi is that of the Hon Douglas Devananda. I wonder whether the Common Government would have done well to have Mr. Devananda as their Tamil partner to compete and invoke the competitive forces of the Tamil National Alliance which is the official Leading Opposition in National Parliament. The contribution by Mr. Devananda to Hindu structures during his time as the Minister responsible for Hindu culture – would help retard the forces of ‘Buddhism foremost’ from getting manifested. Between TNA and Mr. Devananda – Mr. Devananda highlighted my work to the President whereas the TNA as per their silence do not recognize my contribution at all – not even at the level of Vaddukoddai where their office is not too far from our Training Center.
But Truth waits for no man. Today the folks of Thunaivi made the decision that I would be their patron for Development projects in Thunaivi. They sought my assistance in writing reports that would be used by the Tamil Diaspora in Europe. In turn I propose to derive my return through training in higher common work practices which would help develop higher mind order and therefore prevent wars of the kind we experienced over three decades.
This realization was preceded by fear of legal action in one of the project which they undertook on their own towards more or less ‘free money’ – which like Australian Aid without Accountability has resulted in the current President facing the above mentioned bribery allegations at social level.
From the Sri Lankan President’s view – it may have been donation and Australia has no jurisdiction over such ‘freedom’ to call it donation as per Sri Lankan rules. As per Aussie rules – it may have been bribery paid. What happened becomes secondary due to Australian Aid – which makes Sri Lanka a relative. This resulted in Australia providing Aid that promoted the elimination of the LTTE (Tamil Tigers) during the same period when Australia was accommodating Tamil migrants to whom the LTTE were Freedom Fighters. When there is no law/measure – that is common to both sides – time tells – each one as per their own pathway/within their own jurisdiction.
Whatever the Sri Lankan President may confirm as having happened becomes secondary to knowing the character that was surfaced in a ‘free’ environment. That is the Truth and one who is true to her/himself would read it and include or exclude her/himself accordingly to develop a mind order - with or without the President.

Antarcticness: Inspirations and Imaginaries
Antarcticness joins disciplines, communication approaches and ideas to explore meanings and depictions of Antarctica. Personal and professional words in poetry and prose, plus images, present and represent Antarctica, as presumed and as imagined, alongside what is experienced around the continent and by those watching from afar. These understandings explain how the Antarctic is viewed and managed while identifying aspects which should be more prominent in policy and practice.
The authors and artists place Antarctica, and the perceptions and knowledge through Antarcticness, within inspirations and imaginations, without losing sight of the multiple interests pushing the continent’s governance as it goes through rapid political and environmental changes. Given the diversity and disparity of the influences and changes, the book’s contributions connect to provide a more coherent and encompassing perspective of how society views Antarctica, scientifically and artistically, and what the continent provides and could provide politically, culturally and environmentally.
Offering original research, art and interpretations of different experiences and explorations of Antarctica, explanations meld with narratives while academic analyses overlap with first-hand experiences of what Antarctica does and does not – could and could not – bring to the world.

One of the most significant challenges students face during their academic year is that of…
How to Write an Essay about Celebrity
Feel stuck when it comes to composing a really compelling essay about a celebrity? Feel not sure what words to choose to highlight the topic in the best way possible? Or maybe you are not so confident in your writing skills?
Well, this happens to thousands of students all over the world. So, you are not alone in this. How do they solve it?
Don’t worry. We’ve got the answers for you. This article will help write your essay, like a team of experts from Write My Paper Hub, even if you have no processes set up for this. Just follow these easy steps and you are ready to go or just pay someone who is stellar in writing papers for you.
Make Decent Research About the Celebrity of Your Choice
Before you even write a single word, do your research. Never underestimate this part of the writing process. If you don’t do it well, you are facing the risk of falling flat at further stages and ending up with a boring piece. It will make no good for you, right?
So, to avoid this, It’s highly recommended to spend at least 50% of all your time that you have for writing your essay about the celebrity doing research. The more in-depth research you do, the better.
“But how do I do it?” you may ask. Well, that’s a great question. For this, you need to use scholar search engines and the resources that your tutor has mentioned in the assignment (if there are any).
Understand the Requirements for Your Essay About a Celebrity
The next step is to understand our assignment itself. Read it many times. Think about what exactly your tutor is expecting to get from you. Are there any specific requirements? What about the style? Is it APA or MLA? What about the angle?
What else? Don’t forget it’s an essay after all. So, you’ll need to stick to a specific structure with the intro, the body part, and the conclusion.
Keep in Mind the Word Count
This one is huge. The word count is there for a reason. If you write more than it’s required, you’ll be in trouble. If you write less than that, it’s also not good. So, the best thing you can do is stick to the word count as precisely as you can.
It is also helpful to use a Character Count to help you keep track of the words, characters, and sentences you use in a text.
Write It in One Take, Edit It Later
So, you did thorough research and studied the requirements carefully. Phew! That’s half of the job done! So, that’s great you did it.
Now, it’s time to write. Do you want to know the secret of how to write your essay fast? Well, don’t overcomplicate it. Forget about criticism. Don’t think too much. Get focused and just write, write, write. It can be very effective if you set the timer to 1 hour and write for the whole hour.
Then take a mini-break of 5-10 minutes. Then repeat the process unless you’re done with your essay. It’s always better to finish your essay in one take. Don’t put it off till tomorrow or day after tomorrow, etc.
Have a Break and Get Back to Your Essay with a Fresh Mind to Edit It
Congrats, if you follow all the above steps, you have an essay! However, it’s only a draft so far. Don’t worry. Take a break and do something else to let your mind get focused on other things.
Once you do that get back to your essay and edit it mercilessly. Pay attention to grammar, spelling, word choice, formatting, etc. There are many free tools that can come in handy at this stage.
For example, you can use a specific tool to eliminate all the grammar and spelling mistakes if there are any in your essay. If you are not sure about formatting, you can check various online guides on how to do it in the right way.
Just make sure you are turning to reliable and trustworthy sources. Usually, Google takes care of it. It shows the best results on the first page of SERPs. So look no further!
When in Doubt, Let the Experts Do It for You!
Here’s one more pro tip for you. If you feel uncertain after reading all the above tips, don’t worry. There is still a solution to it. Instead of doing everything on your own, you can outsource essay writing to the real pros. They will take care of every aspect of the essay writing for you.
Well, the great news is that you don’t even have to find them. If you click the first link in this article, you’ll come to the right place for pro help.
Hopefully, this article has covered all the questions that you might have had about how to write a winning essay about a celebrity.

JUDSON: INNOVATION IN STAINED GLASS
By David Judson and Steffie Nelson
Published March 2020 by Angel City Press
A history of this world-renowned family of artisans who began crafting stained glass in Los Angeles in 1897
Five generations of Judsons have worked with artists, architects, and designers to create Old World-style stained glass whose quality and craftsmanship has often been compared to the work of Louis Tiffany. Famed for its Craftsman glass, Judson arts-and-crafts era windows have been celebrated by experts in the field for decades. Judson’s work with Frank Lloyd Wright on Hollyhock House in the 1920s was recently re-saluted when the house was named to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list. Established in the Pasadena during the heyday of the Arroyo Culture, headquarters of Judson Studios are still housed in the original Craftsman-era home and studio of patriarch William Lees Judson.
Much of Judson’s finest early work was installed in religious buildings. Along with the studio’s numerous institutional and residential projects, JUDSON: Innovation in Stained Glass illustrates fine work in churches dating back to the early twentieth century. Modern work is also featured, including the extraordinary Air Force Academy Chapel in Colorado Springs, completed in 1962, a mid-century wonder whose soaring panels of color introduced an architecturally mesmerizing approach to stained glass that had never been executed before. In 2018, under David Judson’s leadership, the studio created the world’s largest fused glass window for the Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kansas. Including 140 panels, and measuring more than 3,400 square feet of art glass, the window made news internationally, intriguing congregants, tourists, and stained glass experts alike with its precision detail and artful melding of colors in a mural that depicted both sacred and secular stories.
Once Judson Studios developed methods for blending subtle variations of color in glass for the Church of the Resurrection window, the possibilities of glass as an artist’s medium were apparent. Now, in addition to its work in traditional leaded stained glass, Judson Studios is working with fine artists creating effects in fused glass that were previously unachievable. Most recently, fine artist Sarah Cain worked with Judson Studios to create a work in glass 10 feet high by 150 feet long; it was installed at the San Francisco International Airport in July 2019.

Electromagnetic flowmeter is a for common flow measurement instrument in industrial production, in order to ensure the instrument in production to normal and stable work, the instrument will have a series of problems in the installation and debugging process we need to pay attention to, in the debugging and often is some typical faults in operation process, so for a stable working flow meter
, installation and debugging of every link is very important, embellish of instrument science and technology co. , LTD. As a * * electromagnetic flowmeter production manufacturers and service providers, * * in the process of long-term service for the customer accumulated lots of experience, about these with a set of solutions, the following for these need our attention points are introduced one by one to you: * we first for the characteristics of the electromagnetic flowmeter is the overview: (
Flow meter measuring tube is a shine to a smooth and straight, no activity and choke components, not easy to block, no pressure loss.
For large diameter pipeline and energy saving effect is remarkable, measurable containing solid particles or fibers liquid-solid two-phase fluid.
A linear relationship between output and flux, wide measuring range, measure the diameter of (
Low installation requirements, straight pipe length is 5 d, downstream straight pipe length is 2 d (
D for flow meter two plate spacing)
Measurement accuracy can be as high as & plusmn;
The application conditions of electromagnetic flowmeter (
Generally does not exceed 120 ℃ temperature measured medium, pressure is not more than 1.
6 mpa, the velocity is not less than 0.
Must be measured medium is liquid conductivity, low conductivity & gt;
S/cm, the medium to be measured not contain more ferromagnetic material and air bubbles, cannot be used for gas, steam, oil products, such as the liquid conductivity measurement.
A common question 1 of electromagnetic flowmeter installation and debugging.
Good vertical installation, make the medium flows through the instrument from bottom to top.
If cannot be installed vertically, also can be mounted horizontally, but to ensure that the two electrodes in the same horizontal plane.
When the solid particles in the measured medium, should be installed vertically make lining from the wear (
Horizontal installation will cause partial wear)
Flowmeter installation location should avoid strong vibration, should avoid strong interference sources, to stay away from all the magnetic source (
Such as high-power motors, transformers, etc. )
Flow meter grounded when installation is very important.
Because of the instrument signal is weak, the outside world a slight interference will affect measurement accuracy.
As a result, the transmitter housing, shielded wire, measuring tube and pipe should be grounded on both ends of the transducer, and set up a separate location.
When mounted horizontally, flowmeter upstream side of straight pipe should be greater than 5 d, when there is a valve, expanding tube should be extended to the 10 d, upstream of the valve should be opened entirely.
Downstream straight pipe section of straight pipe should be greater than 3 d, adjustment shall be installed on the downstream side of the meter.
To prevent fluid disturbance, expand the cone Angle of the tube should be less than 15 & deg;
Meter installation, straight pipe before and after Duan Ruyou shrinkage tube will affect measurement accuracy of instrument.
Flow meter installed, cannot be used in the case of negative pressure.
For transmitter lining easy peeling off, so the flowmeter can only be used in positive pressure process pipeline installation.
Flow meter installed to use for the first time, set the diameter is very important, be sure to set the tube diameter is accurate.
Typical fault diagnosis and handling 1 electromagnetic flowmeter.
No flow output.
Check the power supply part if there is a fault, the test power supply voltage is normal;
Test the fuse on and off;
Check the sensor is consistent with the direction of flow arrow, such as inconsistent switch sensor installation direction;
Check whether the sensor is filled with fluid, such as not full of fluid, replace pipe or 2 vertical installation.
Smaller and smaller, or a sudden drop.
Test the insulation between the two electrodes whether to destroy or be short circuit, electrical resistance between the two electrodes in the normal (
70 ~ 100)
Sounding pipe wall may be deposited dirt, clean and wipe the electrode, do not scratch lining.
Does the sounding pipe lining damage, such as damage should be replaced.
Zero is not stable, check whether the media is full of measuring tube and whether there is a bubble in the medium, such as there are air bubbles in the upstream add venting device, such as horizontal installation can be changed to vertical installation;
Check whether the instrument grounding is in good condition, such as bad, should be level 3 ground (
Grounding resistance & le;
Check the conductivity of medium should not be less than 5 & mu;
s / cm;
Check whether medium deposition in the measuring tube, clear note don't will be lined with scratches.
Flow indicator values do not tally with the actual values.

Hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles are moving slowly out of the science project phase and onto the roads of the real world.
At the Tokyo and Los Angeles auto shows this week:
- Hyundai said it will start leasing the first of a planned 1,000 fuel cell Tucson SUVs next year in California. The monthly lease price -- including unlimited hydrogen fuel -- is $499, with $2,999 down.
- Honda showed the FCEV, an early look at its next-generation fuel cell vehicle. Honda said it wants to begin offering a fuel cell vehicle in 2015 in the United States.
- Toyota introduced the FCV sedan, which it says is a "practical concept" of the fuel cell vehicle it plans to launch in about two years. The car will have a range of just over 300 miles, and its twin hydrogen tanks can be refilled in about three minutes.
Now the struggle shifts from making the technology reliable to bringing down the price. And the United States needs nationwide distribution of hydrogen fuel.
Toyota said it has slashed the cost of the fuel cell system in its next hydrogen-powered car, putting it on course to launch a mid-sized sedan in 2015 with a price below $100,000. A dozen years ago, some experts priced the first roadworthy fuel cell vehicles at nearly $1 million each.
Few filling stations
California, mainly the Los Angeles area, has the largest concentration of hydrogen fuel stations in the country: around 30, built mostly for fleet demonstration projects. Because of that, Honda, Toyota and Hyundai have chosen California as the first market to put fuel cell vehicles on the road, in fleets or with special lease-only deals for consumers.
Hyundai Motor America CEO John Krafcik said the Tucson won't be offered outside of California until the hydrogen fuel infrastructure develops.
The production cost of a fuel cell vehicle is a closely guarded secret. Billions have been spent this century reducing the size of the stack and developing high-pressure tanks and computer controls.
Fuel cell stacks are expensive for two reasons: The plates in each cell contain expensive metals, such as platinum, which this week cost about $1,400 per ounce. Depending on the number and size of the cells in a stack, there could be anywhere from two-thirds of an ounce to almost three ounces of platinum. A typical catalytic converter uses just a third of an ounce of platinum.
Manufacturing costs also are high because the technology is complex; the techniques are new and labor-intensive; and the cells must be assembled by hand in an extremely clean environment.
In a fuel cell vehicle, electricity is generated when gaseous hydrogen passes through plates -- the anode terminal -- containing a platinum catalyst. The hydrogen splits into protons and negatively charged electrons. The electrons travel to the cathode terminal and create the electricity to power the vehicle's electric drive motor and accessories.
Mike O'Brien, Hyundai Motor America vice president of product and corporate planning, said the company has reduced the cost of the fuel cell Tucson 70 percent since 2005.

(DOUG JESSOP – JESSOPS JOURNAL) In this episode we feature powerful, positive, and inspirational folks including an interview with a woman that has not only been on American Idol, but also has a family tie to an American Classic song – White Christmas (and yes, she’s going to sing for us).
We are also here a pretty cool rags to riches story with Engles Tejada.
Since we had one story tied to Christmas, we visit with the largest car manufacturer in Utah – that gives away all their cars for free – Tiny Tim’s Toy Factory.
BUT FIRST, KATIE HIGLEY
Stories have power. They help us understand each other. Sometimes those stories are told through song.
If you had to list a song that epitomizes Christmas, “White Christmas” with Bing Crosby has got to be high on that list. I had the opportunity to sit down with the great-grandfather of the man that sang first tenor in the quartet. Katie Higley told me with a wide smile; “You can hear grandpa every Christmas and their singing the word “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas.”
Great grandpa would be proud of the fact that Katie has been on American Idol Katie shared the story of how she picked the song to sing at her audition. “I was named Soul Sister on my girls camp when I was really young. DOUG: Ah, I knew there was a reason. KATIE: I love gospel music. So when this song came out by Train. that’s the song I’m going to sing. I loved how happy it is, it’s upbeat. Do you want to hear a bit? DOUG: Yeah, let’s hear it DOUG: So who were the judges that you played that in front of? KATIE: It was for Katy Perry, Lionel Ritchie and Luke Bryant.”
Everyone has a story. Sometimes these stories are told through music. It’s time for Jessop’s Jukebox and of course, Katie is going to sing White Christmas. Feel free to join along.
What does the American dream mean to you? Engels Tejada shares his story.
Imagine being a 13-year-old living in the Dominican Republic. You emigrate to the United States to be with your father.
Fast forward and you end up in Utah, learn English and your first day of High School there is a demonstration outside over LGBT clubs. Where you come from, demonstrations can be become violent, so you go inside and are befriended by a teacher. That teacher becomes a huge influence in your life and helps not only plant the seed of learning in your mind, but also the spirit of reaching out of your comfort level to become the best you can be.
Meet Engels Tejeda, one of the newest partners of the Holland & Hart law firm and recipient of the Utah State Bar Raymond S. Uno Award for the Advancement of Minorities in the Law.
Engels’ grandmother also emigrated from the Dominican Republic and watched over him. One of the jobs she did was cleaning offices. She would come home and tell her grandson about the fancy lawyer offices. Engels got emotional as he told me about taking her with him to see his office when he became a lawyer.
While compensation is a nice part of being a lawyer, an event while Engels was in law school put things into perspective for him. He had applied for internships and got an offer letter informing him of his weekly pay. Engels paused and told me that about the moment he realized that his weekly pay, $1800, was more than how much his mother earned in an entire year back in the Dominican Republic.
All of this because a teacher encouraged him and helped mentor him. Engels now gives back to his college as a member of the Board of Trustees at Westminster College.
He is also involved in something called the “Pipeline Mentor Program” at Holland & Hart in collaboration with the Utah Center for Legal Inclusion, providing diverse law students with access to career development advice and guidance from practicing attorneys. In non-COVID years, the firm hosts an in-person networking and informational session to connect students with supports available in Utah’s legal community. This year, despite the pandemic, 22 attorneys in Holland & Hart’s Salt Lake City office served as mentors, virtually connecting with, and supporting diverse law students throughout their law school journey.
A little block of wood. Four wheels that turn. A window big enough to put your finger through and imagine that you own it.
In this episode, I followed the journey of cars from the Tiny Tim Toy Foundation, the largest car maker in all of Utah. They have made and given away for free over a million cars around the world. Alton showed me the production improvements that streamlined the process. “That was our first Jeep. It took 11 cuts on the band saw. We need to do 1 cut. So, this is the Jeep. The Jeep Wagoneer.”
Seeing the cars being made by volunteers is a fun experience. The cost of shipping these cars can be a financial drain for this non-profit. I’ve been able to help by placing them in the hands of people that I know are traveling to distant lands with kids in need. Bruce and Karen Powell graciously delivered cars to Guatemala. All I asked was for pictures and the chance to sit down with them and have them tell me about the experience.
Bruce told me; “We were going to end up in a village above Antiqua, Guatemala. Working on a school. We ended up passing out a car to each one of the kids in the school.”
With a wide grin and a laugh, Karen exclaimed; “Probably one of my favorite pictures is a little pre-school girl. She’s sitting and it’s almost like she has a dolly because she is cradling her car. That was really sweet.”
As we looked at the pictures together Bruce gave me the background on a picture with a number of boys in a circle with their new cars; “It started with about 4 of them and they would spread their legs until they touched each other. Creating a kind of arena for these cars. Vroom Vroom and then they would actually crash into each other.” It seems that demolition derby has international appeal.
Bruce got a bit emotion as he described the joy that these little handmade wooden cars from Utah created; “This is for some kids the only thing that they’ll ever own until they become adults. When you have nothing, a little car like this can mean I have ownership in something, and I have something I can play with.”
The Powell’s have gone on a number of humanitarian trips. When I asked them why they do that Bruce stated simply; “It give you reality. It shows you how wonderful people are. How loving they can be when they have nothing and for me it gives me great hope and trust in humanity.”
Consider this your personal invitation to watch this entire episode of Jessop’s Journal and share it with someone that enjoys powerful, positive and inspirational story. Jessop’s Journal airs Sunday mornings at 10 on ABC4 TV and you can watch on-demand at JessopsJournal.com.
Everyone has a story. I strongly feel that “stories have power”. Chances are that if you are going through something, that someone else probably has as well. The shared experiences we humans have can help each other. That my friend makes the point that stories “help us understand each other.”
You don’t have to agree with everyone, but in my opinion, if people would take more time getting to knowing more about others and where they are coming from, we just might find out that we have more similarities than differences.
Jessop’s Journal is something special when it comes to broadcast news. I have the honor of being able to do longer in-depth interviews that you don’t normally see with people from all walks of life. A big shout out goes to my collaborator, Ed Wilets, who does a great job as my videographer/editor for all my stories.

Building on Professor Jay Wexler’s 2005 brief study of the number of notations of laugher in the Supreme court, Ryan Malphurs, Ph.D. dissects the function of laughter in the Supreme Court in “People Did Sometimes Stick Things in my Underwear” The Function of Laughter at the U.S. Supreme Court.
Malphurs finds laughter in the Supreme Court an interesting topic because, he states, “…laughter in the Courtroom is a regular occurrence but it has rarely been studied….” He also hopes “that others will expand upon research generated within [his] study.” Malphurs wanted to take a much more pragmatic approach to the study of Courtroom laughter than his predecessor. In Wexler’s study, the “funniness” of a Justice was determined by the number of laughter notations in the Court transcripts. Taking a deeper look, Malphurs analyzed laughter in the Courtroom based on four parameters: context, frequency, tone and direction.
According to Malphurs, “…context reveals laughter’s complexities and multipurpose function….” On laughter’s functions, Malphurs cites psychological texts, stating that “…laughter has been known to elevate moods, release stress…” Laughter in the Courtroom, Malphurs finds, serves this exact purpose and eases the tension between advisor and justice. In one situation, upon listing appointed individuals to a justice, an advisor neglected to certify that they met the necessary qualifications. After the judge asked for the qualifications, the advisor quickly read the perfunctory clause while the Court laughed. The laughter served to alleviate the tension caused by the lawyer’s mistake.
The second part of the study focused on frequency of laughter in the Courtroom. Upon reexamining Wexler’s laughter notation counts, Malphurs found that many “’laughter’ situations…were not recorded” in the court transcripts Wexler used. In researching further, Malphurs found an additional 131 instances of laughter across 51 cases. These increased occurrences of laughter gave Malphurs a rich sampling for the study.
When analyzing the frequency of laughter, Malphurs also studied the tone and direction of laughter. “The direction of laughter,” Malphurs states, “coupled with tone provides a means of understanding the types of laughter generating statements that justices and advocates use, as well as the level of control and resistance exerted by the statement.” Malphurs studied the occurrences of laughter and “…categorized instances in which laughter suggested aggressive or congenial tones to determine how the Court may [have used] laughter as a form of control and resistance.” Interestingly, out of 131 instances of laughter, only three were used as acts of aggression.
Malphurs also studied the direction of laughter. He investigated whether “…laughter was directed at the advocate personally, the lawyer’s arguments, the justice themselves, the other justices, or a third party.” Direction is an important factor in this study because, Malphurs notes, “…laughter can function as a form of control…understanding what direction laughter follows can reveal what type of control or superiority justices or advocates exerted.” Although it seems as though the justices would maintain the control of laughter in the Courtroom, the study showed that “…over half of advocates’ statements which generated laughter resulted from them making fun of a justice…”
After analyzing the context, frequency, tone and direction of laughter in the Courts, Malphurs concluded that “…laughter during oral arguments appears to be a means of negotiating the institutional, social, and intellectual barriers separating the justices from advocates, and in turn organizing the communication within oral arguments.” Malphurs continues, “…laughter plays an important communicative role by braking down various barriers that impeded communication and generating equality among participants.” With laughter as a recently uncovered remedy to ease tension in the Courtroom, it leaves one to wonder if An Idiot’s Guide to Laughter will soon be a required text for L1 students.

Hello i need a good and positive comment related with this argument .A paragraph with no more 90 words.‘
Re:Topic 1 DQ 1
Statistics and graphics continue to be the most tools for approving and disapproving theories in the present times. Different people use statistics and graphics for other several reasons and in different industries including sensitive fields like medication and healthcare. However, these graphics and statistics can be used inappropriately either with or without knowledge to mislead people. There are different ways that statistics and graphics can be used to misinterpret data.
Differences between the causation and association is the first way of misinterpreting data. At times, researchers may conclude that one variable in a research cause another variable because the two variables affect each other (Okeh, 2009). It is not true that since one variable affects another that one of them should cause another. Therefore, concluding in such dimension is a way of data misinterpretation.
The second way is to involve biasness and personal opinions in collection and representation of data. To explain this, an example of unevenly distributed data can lead to misinterpretation through graphics by making some abnormal exaggerations. For instance, a researcher may want to display the buying trends of coffee in a certain state over the past five years. During representation of data in a bar chart, some of the year may have insignificantly low sales that the researcher decides to increase the bar for that year to be visible. This action may lead to misinterpretation of data by the audience to which the data is represen
Errors is another way in which data can be misinterpreted. Errors in data analysis can lead to poor data representation thus leading to misinterpretation. Most individuals believe in statistics and when the graphs are drawn to present data, they tend to believe the trends regardless of the errors that were made.
Data misinterpretation exists in several fields including the competitive markets and industries like pharmaceutical and healthcare. In pharmaceuticals, more than one medication or drug exist in the market that may serve one purpose. To make a particular type of drug to standout, commercials are used with personal opinions in data analysis and interpretation (Okeh, 2009). For instance, one of the commercials used small prints to display information about the guarantee of the benefits. In other instances, the benefits of one drug are represented in a larger scale as compared to the benefits of competing drugs to create intention misinterpretation of data by consumers.
Another example is the presidential election that was conducted in 1936 where predictions of the winner favored London. The polls were wrong because the winner was Roosevelt. The reason for this misinterpretation is the bias where lower income groups were excluded from the polls and taking too low sample size.

Fashion is often seen as a shallow and frivolous pursuit. But if you look at it through the lens of art, you can see that fashion is so much more. It is a way to express yourself, to show the world who you are.
And just like any art form, it takes skill and talent to create something truly beautiful. Think about it – a blank canvas is pretty boring. But with a little bit of color and creativity, it can be transformed into something stunning.
The same is true of fashion. A simple outfit can be transformed into a work of art with the right accessories and a little bit of imagination. So next time you’re getting dressed, think of yourself as a blank canvas.
And let your fashion be a work of art.
Fashion is art and you are the canvas.
Fashion is a form of art that allows you to express yourself and your unique style. You are the canvas on which fashion is displayed.
When you put together an outfit, you are creating a work of art. Fashion is a way to show the world who you are. It is a form of self-expression.
When you wear something that you feel good in, it shows. You confidence level rises and you carry yourself differently. Fashion is also a way to have fun.
It should be something that you enjoy, not something that you feel like you have to do. Experiment with different styles and colors. Try new things.
You might be surprised at what you like. So go out there and express yourself through fashion. Be the canvas on which fashion is displayed.
Let your unique style shine through.
Fashion is art and you are the canvas.
What is the relationship between fashion and art?
There is no one answer to this question as the relationship between fashion and art is complex and multi-layered. However, we can say that fashion and art are both expressions of creativity and self-expression. They are also both industries that are heavily influenced by trends and popular culture.
Fashion is often inspired by art, and vice versa. Many fashion designers have cited works of art as inspiration for their collections. For example, the late Alexander McQueen was known for his dramatic and avant-garde designs, which were often inspired by works of art, including paintings, sculpture, and photography.
Art can also be used as a form of self-expression. Many people use fashion as a way to express their personality and style. For some, fashion is an extension of their creativity, and they use it as a way to express themselves artistically.
There is a long history of overlap between the two industries. Many famous artists have also been involved in fashion, either as designers or muses. For example, the Italian artist and designer Elsa Schiaparelli was a contemporary of Coco Chanel, and the two were known for their innovative and boundary-pushing designs.
The relationship between fashion and art is always evolving, and it is hard to say where it will go next. However, one thing is certain: fashion and art will always be intertwined.
Is fashion an art quote?
There is no denying that fashion is an art form. It is a creative expression that can be seen in the way designers put together collections and how they style individual looks. But is fashion an art quote?
The answer is not as simple as it may seem. While fashion can be seen as an art form, it is not necessarily an art quote. An art quote is defined as a statement or saying that is attributed to a person who is considered to be an expert in their field.
So, when it comes to fashion, there are a lot of people who could be considered experts, from designers to stylists to editors. But there is no one definitive fashion art quote. This is because fashion is constantly changing and evolving.
What was considered fashionable yesterday may not be today, and what is fashionable today may not be tomorrow. So, it is hard to pinpoint one specific quote that sums up fashion as an art form. That being said, there are a few quotes about fashion that come close to capturing its essence.
One such quote is from fashion designer Coco Chanel, who said, “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” This quote captures the idea that fashion is more than just what we wear. It is about the ideas and trends that are happening in the world around us.
And it is always changing, which is what makes it so fascinating. Another quote that captures the essence of fashion is from fashion icon Audrey Hepburn, who said, “What is fashion? It’s not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street; fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” This quote also highlights the idea that fashion is more than just what we see on the runway or in magazines.
What is fashion as an art?
Fashion as an art is the application of design, aesthetics and natural beauty to clothing and accessories. It is a form of self-expression and can be used to convey a message or simply to make a statement. Fashion is often considered to be a reflection of the times, with designers taking inspiration from the world around them.
Fashion has always been a part of human culture, with evidence of early garments dating back to around 30,000 BC. Throughout history, fashion has been used as a form of self-expression, with different styles becoming popular in different eras. In more recent years, fashion has become increasingly accessible, with the rise of fast fashion and the growth of the internet.
Today, fashion is more than just a way to dress; it is a form of self-expression that can be used to communicate who you are and what you believe in. With so many different styles and trends to choose from, there is something for everyone. Whether you prefer classic and timeless pieces or more experimental and eclectic looks, fashion is a great way to express your individuality.
What is the difference between art and fashion?
There are many differences between art and fashion. Art is often about expressing oneself and one’s creativity, while fashion is more about following trends and looking good. Art is also usually more permanent than fashion – it can be hung on a wall or displayed in a museum, while fashion is meant to be worn and then replaced by the latest styles.
That said, there is also some overlap between the two. Both art and fashion can be used to make a statement or express an idea, and both can be highly creative. And while art may be more permanent, some fashion styles do become iconic and are remembered long after they’ve gone out of fashion.
So, in short, the main difference between art and fashion is that art is more about expression and creativity, while fashion is more about trends and appearance. But there is also some overlap between the two, and both can be used to make a statement or express an idea.
Fashion is art and you are the canvas meaning
Fashion is not just about the clothes you wear; it’s about how you wear them and how you carry yourself. It’s an expression of who you are, and it should be something that makes you feel good. When you feel good about yourself, you radiate confidence and that’s always in style.
Think of your wardrobe as a blank canvas. You can mix and match different pieces to create different looks. And, just like with any artwork, you can have fun with it and experiment until you find something that feels right for you.
There are no rules when it comes to fashion, so don’t be afraid to express yourself. Fashion is a form of self-expression and it should be used to express your unique personality. So, wear what makes you feel good and don’t worry about what anyone else thinks.
After all, you are the artist and you are the one in control of your canvas.
Who is velvet paper
Velvet paper is a type of paper that has a velvety surface. It is usually made from cotton or linen fibers and has a smooth, matte finish. Velvet paper is often used for wedding invitations, business cards, and other types of stationery.
Large painting canvas
When it comes to painting, the size of your canvas can make a big difference in the overall look of your artwork. If you’re looking to create a large, impactful piece of art, then a large painting canvas is the way to go. Here’s everything you need to know about large painting canvases, from the different types available to the benefits of working with a larger surface.
Different Types of Large Painting Canvases There are a few different types of large painting canvases that you can choose from, depending on your needs. The most common type is a stretched canvas, which is a canvas that’s been stretched over a wooden frame.
This type of canvas is ideal for oil and acrylic painting, as it provides a firm, stable surface to work on. Another type of large painting canvas is a rolled canvas, which is simply a canvas that’s been rolled up and is ready to be stretched. Rolled canvases are a great option if you’re looking to save space, as they can be stored away when not in use.
They’re also a good choice if you plan on transporting your canvas to different locations, as they’re much easier to transport than a stretched canvas. Benefits of Working With a Large Painting Canvas There are a few benefits that come with working with a large painting canvas.
First, it gives you more room to work with, which can be helpful if you’re working on a complex painting. Second, a larger surface area can help you create a more impactful piece of art. And third, a large canvas can be a great way to practice your painting skills, as it can be challenging to paint on a smaller surface.
If you’re looking to create a large, impactful painting, then a large painting canvas is the way to go. With a wide variety of types and sizes available, you can find the perfect canvas for your needs.
Fashion is art and you are the canvas. This means that your clothing choices are a form of self-expression. Just like an artist expresses themselves through their paintings, you can express yourself through your clothing choices.
Your clothing choices are a way to show the world who you are and what you believe in. Fashion is a way to express your individuality and creativity. When you wear something that you love, it shows.

HAVANA TIMES, March 30 — Euphemisms (which are of course words and expressions used for replacing other ones that are considered bad sounding, distasteful or inappropriate), are commonly used in Cuba, especially by those seeking to avoid “annoying interpretations.”
An annoying interpretation, in turn, can be a word that describes a possible reprimand from a superior, boss or colleague who thinks your term is inappropriate. Let me give you some examples:
The words “maid,” “housekeeper,” “servant” and “service employee” disappeared from the national lexicon as they were considered bourgeois expressions, and all vestiges of the bourgeoisie needed to be eliminated from the lives of Cubans.
With the passage of time and the incontrovertible existence of class differences in the country, these types of words have reappeared among those who need to pay other people for domestic services and those who need to get paid for those services.
The circumstances have returned, but with new designations. Now these people are called “the woman who does the cleaning” or “the man who runs errands”; or — more amicably — they might be referred to as “the person who helps us at home,” thus creating some degree of ambiguity. One might even get the impression that this person is not bound by money in providing this “aid or assistance.”
People who were the “maggots,” “worms,” “traitors” and “scum” of the mass exoduses (from the port at Camarioca in 1960 and Mariel in 1980), after certain social and political conjunctures began to be referred to using gentler terms like “community members” or “Cuban-Americans” or “those living outside of Cuba.”
This is why it’s not at all uncommon for people who are “fired” or “laid off” to be described as having experienced “employment reorganization.” Likewise “evictions” become the “distrainment of real property.”
And anyone who provides information about other people to the police or to the Ministry of the Interior — rather than being labeled as “informants,” “snitches” or chivatos — they are described as “auxiliaries” or “civilian collaborators.”
A “prostitute” is now called a jinetera (escort), and theft (on a large scale by certain officials) has been dubbed “the mismanagement of resources.”
But there are some terms that are completely exempt from the possibility of receiving any softer kinder euphemisms. These include “independent journalist” or “blogger,” which are smeared with words like “cyber-dissident” or even “mercenary” in the worst cases.
In other words, euphemisms are employed to a degree directly proportional to the level of the commitment they have for the implantation or ordering by the system, in accordance with the period and the context.
These are the reasons my writings are never published in official media. Don’t imagine, my friends, that the cause of this is “censorship” or a lack of “freedom of expression” its that I’m very apt to use amplified phraseology and opinions that are “exaggerated,” “distorted,” “imprudent” or “inconsistent” with our reality.
Please, I’m not asking for anyone to describe me as being “sardonic” with this. I’m only being “funny.”

The New smarter Nimue SPF50 Environmental Shield – Cream Protection
We all know that wearing a decent sunscreen on our faces every day is one of the best routes to having younger-looking skin for longer, not to mention its ability to minimise harmful sun damage.
What you’re looking for is both UVA and UVB protection and lately the IRA (Infrared A) too !!
Fortunately, antioxidants can provide some relief as they combat the free-radical damage that IRA causes when the skin absorbs these rays. We might be clued up on UVA and UVB rays, but IRA (Infrared A) accounts for a third of the sun’s rays, and few of us are even aware of it. ‘Because they have a longer wavelength, these rays can penetrate the skin deeper than UVA and UVB, and can cause premature ageing, free-radical and cellular damage,’ explains Dr Justine Hextall, consultant dermatologist at the Royal College of Physicians.
Normal sunscreens reflect and absorb UVA and UVB, but IRA can’t be blocked in the same way
With high levels of stress, pollution and exposure to UV rays, the modern world throws a lot at our skin. Even our choice of skincare can have consequences. ‘Retinol, acid peels and laser treatments improve skin quality and appearance, but they also weaken its natural protective barrier.
What are we doing to improve the natural protective barrier? When also you live in a city, the effects of pollution on your skin are as much of a threat as sun damage.
SPF50 has become more important in recent years because the top layers of skin lack mature, differentiated skin cells that can cope with UV light and other damaging external factors.
Nimue’s Environmental Shield SPF50 will be the first skincare product to feature the revolutionary patent antioxidant molecule Cyanoacrylate. This molecule prevent the accumulation of pollution particles in the epidermis and replenishes the skin with antioxidants stopping the formulation of free- radicals.
It offers high protection against the following causes of premature ageing;
- The full electromagnetic light spectrum – UVA-UVB -INFRARED – HIGH ENERGY VISIBLE LIGHT
- Pollution – Smog- Air Pollution – Smoke
- Environmental stress factor – Pollen – Wind – Dirt – Humidity – Seasonal changes
- An exceptional transparency preventing the formulation from causing whiteness on the skin
- Suitable also for sensitive skin
- improve luminosity and moisture avoiding a greasy , pore- clogging mask
Our Environmental Shield SPF 50 is mattifying making , ideal for clients with oily and problematic skin , making it a great base for make-up

(Natural News) I’m in my 30th year of covering national news and I’ve learned a hard truth about the federal government under numerous administrations. It’s a culture where truth-telling is frowned upon; coverup is rewarded and encouraged.
(Article by Sharyl Attkisson republished from TheHill.com)
That helps answer a question many have recently asked about the FBI and our intelligence community: Why haven’t more whistleblowers come forward?
Several months ago, an FBI source told me that numerous whistleblowers had gone to members of Congress with information about the FBI and the Trump-Russia scandal, only to have congressional leaders turn their names over to the Department of Justice. True or not, this was the word on the street, and it had a chilling impact on other would-be whistleblowers.
The fact is, insiders know that things rarely turn out well for the whistleblowers. They and their families are targeted, attacked and smeared. They lose their jobs or chance to advance. Their health suffers. Their personal lives fall apart.
Meantime, they look over their shoulders and see that their truth-telling changed nothing. The guilty parties usually stay in their cushy jobs or are allowed to quietly retire with full benefits. Sometimes they’re promoted.
So it’s no surprise that, even though I believe the federal government is populated with mostly good people, they tend to keep their mouths shut and go along. After all, why come forward if your actions aren’t going to fix anything and the only result will be that your life is ruined?
There’s a simple yet dramatic way to change this longstanding culture, one that everyone should be able to get behind: A new whistleblower amnesty program.
It could start with the Department of Justice and intelligence community. Attorney General William Barr could set it up quickly, before the establishment has time to mount a full-force lobbying campaign to stop it. Here are two potential aspects:
Establish a 60-day amnesty period of time for anyone in the intel community to come forward and admit their own wrongdoing or blow the whistle on others.
Offer anonymity, legal representation and job security for the whistleblowers. Any whistleblowers whose names become known would fall under a new group of protected federal employees with independent overseers ensuring they do not suffer retaliation. In the alternative, a mutually beneficial separation could be negotiated.
Someone confessing to his or her own wrongdoing generally would be guaranteed immunity from administrative punishment or prosecution. The seriousness of the offense or crime would be weighed against factors, such as the information he or she provides about broader wrongdoing, and a mutually beneficial resolution for the individual and government would be negotiated.
Establish trusted intermediaries through which the whistleblowers would work. “Trusted” means intermediaries trusted by the whistleblowers, not necessarily by the establishment figures whose policies and processes would be challenged. (The agency inspectors general are not universally trusted, and often are seen by insiders as part of the establishment protecting the agencies they oversee.)
Several ideas for intermediaries come to mind: the Obama-appointed Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction John Sopko (who continues to serve under President Trump); the Project on Government Oversight, headed by Danielle Brian; attorney Victoria Toensing, who long has worked with whistleblowers; and Marcel Reid and Michael McCray of the National Whistleblower Center. There are many more possibilities; these are simply a few examples showing that it is possible to find resources likely to be considered trustworthy by various whistleblowers.
Those who do not come forward during the amnesty period, but who are implicated in wrongdoing, would face the full force of administrative action or prosecution.
For those who believe there is little wrongdoing and corruption inside the Department of Justice and our intelligence communities, this process would be speedy and nimble.
However, if there are more problems than we think, we should be prepared for a giant purge. If the idea works, it could become a model for rooting out problems within all federal agencies.
Such a process would change the longstanding federal culture that overlooks or encourages corruption, and lead to cleaner, more effective governing.
Logically, there should be few legitimate objections. All should be able to get behind a relatively simple plan to root out corruption and wrongdoing in our federal agencies.
But they probably won’t.

'Your Results May Vary': Protecting Students and Taxpayers Through Tighter Regulation of Proprietary School Representations
56 Pages Posted: 17 Jul 2012
Date Written: 2010
This article argues for stricter regulation of proprietary (for-profit) school advertising and recruitment practices and proffers specific proposals for effectuating this regulation. Proprietary schools play an important role in broadening access to higher education. They enroll a large number of students who are underserved by traditional, non-profit institutions. These students tend to be poorer, less educated, and older than students at traditional schools, and they tend to undertake higher education for very practical reasons. These characteristics make them particularly susceptible to deceptive marketing and unfounded promises of higher education providers. Unfortunately, some proprietary schools exploit the susceptibilities of their target markets by making misrepresentations when marketing their programs and recruiting students. These unscrupulous behaviors contribute to low completion rates and high loan default rates among proprietary school students — outcomes that cost students and taxpayers billions of dollars. Therefore, tighter regulation of proprietary school marketing and recruitment practices is needed.

Chattel mortgage – definition and meaning
A chattel mortgage is a loan in which the borrower uses a movable personal property as security. The term chattel mortgage has slightly different meanings across the world. In one country it may refer to a car loan. In other countries, on the other hand, people use it for any loan without using freehold land as security.
For example, in Australia, it refers to a car loan. Specifically, a car loan in which the lender owns the vehicle until the borrower has paid off the loan.
If you require leverage for a loan, there are other options apart from using your house. In other words, you do not have to put your home on the line. You can use free standing possessions as security. That is where a chattel mortgage is a useful option.
Chattel is an item of property other than freehold land. For example, cattle, vehicles, boats, trailers, electronic appliances, and leases are chattel. We even consider clothes as chattel.
We sometimes refer to a chattel mortgage as a secured transaction. The lender holds a lien against the chattel until the debt is paid off in full. In fact, the borrower only assumes ownership after the final loan repayment. Chattel in this context means movable property.
According to realtor.com, a chattel mortgage is:
“A loan that can be obtained from a bank or financial institution using some sort of movable personal property – possessions other than land, buildings or any permanent fixture – as security.”
For something to be chattel, it must not cause any damage or change to a freehold real estate property. In other words, it must not change or damage the borrower’s building or land.
Businesses often use chattel mortgages when they need money. Companies use chattel mortgages to buy additional property. In such cases, they use their machinery and vehicles as collateral.
Chattel mortgages convenient for lenders
Lenders like chattel mortgages because if the borrower defaults they can seize the movable security. They subsequently sell that movable security. Lenders know they can sell it rapidly.
Be careful what you put up as security. You should choose a movable possession that you do not need urgently. For example, a laptop with personal files is not a good idea.

Purchasing domain names is like purchasing property; domains are an asset to you or your company and can be seen as a secure address for your online abode. You can buy as many as you like, use them for whatever purpose you desire and you can move your online content between your domains as little or as often as you wish.
Deciding on the perfect address
Youve finally decided on your domain name, Easy. Now you´re bombarded by a range of domain suffix and you want to know the difference between each one? Easy Domains are here to help you make heads and tails of the essential domains out there.
In all there are over 300 different types of domain extensions in the world and all have very different uses; this doesn´t mean to say you can´t get creative and use a domain extension for an unusual or distinctive name.
Top Level Domain Intended Uses
Popular Domain Extensions - TLD (Top Level Domains)
- .com For commercial use
If you are using a website that is of commercial nature
- .info For information resource use
If you are creating an online resource library of information
- .org For non-profit-organisations
If you are part of a non-profit-organisation or a charity based project
- .co.uk For UK commercial companies
UK based companies
- .me.uk For a UK based individual
If you are UK resident with a personal website
- .org.uk For a UK based charity
If you are a not-for-profit organisation or recognised charity within the UK
- .net For network providers
This is the domain extension used by online network providers, mobile or internet etc.
- .biz For Business Websites
If you are a commercial business
- .fm For Federated States of Micronesia
If you are business or individual in Micronesia
- .tv For Tuvalu
If you are a business or individual in Tuvalu
Many people are confused by the different types of domain extensions and by what or who they were intended for. Don´t be afraid to choose a domain extension that you think could work for you. Domain names are only limited by the imagination, search engines today recognise the vast majority of domain extensions and use them as valid criteria for search results. Easy Domains recommend you make the most of all domain opportunities whilst you can. Purchase your online domain in as many extensions as you can to ensure that your domain becomes part of your online territory; domain names are the perfect key word to help with the search engine ranking of your websites.
A prime example In our list above we told you that .fm extension can only be used by residents in Micronesia - this isn´t always the case. Many radio stations today have latched on to the opportunity of making it a recognisable asset to their online domain e.g www.last.fm
A popular web bookmarking site called delicious have also been creative with their choice of domain name by using the following www.del.icio.us
It is worth noting that there are domains which are only permitted for use by certain countries and states. See the infographic below for a better view of the extensions of the world. Infographic courtesy of Visual Information

Chronic joint pain can be debilitating. It hinders your ability to make basic movements, like sitting in a low chair or walking up a flight of stairs. It can also lead to discouragement because of the inability to participate in some of your favorite sports or hobbies.
Some people facing joint pain have had to seek the services of a specialist to understand why they cannot perform some of the most mundane physical functions. This can cause hip or knee replacement surgery to ease pain, promote better mobility, and offer an improved quality of life.
The following are the most frequent causes of joint discomfort:
When the cartilage, the protective layer between bones, wears down and cracks, it becomes osteoarthritis. It causes joints to be painful and rigid. Osteoarthritis develops gradually over time and is most common among middle-aged people.1
This is a long-term illness that causes joint swelling and discomfort. In most circumstances, the joints are usually deformed, occurring in the wrists or fingertips.2
Gout is a severe condition marked by joint stiffness and swelling because of uric acid crystals forming in the joints. It typically affects the big toe.3
Bursitis is an inflammation of the bursa. It most commonly affects the knee, hip, shoulder, or elbow because of overuse.4
Fever or a rash can make joint movement very unpleasant.
Injuries like sprains and broken bones can also result in joint pain.
Tendinitis is a painful inflammation of the tendons or malleable bands that connect bone and muscle in the body. It appears in the heel, elbow, or shoulder due to overuse.5
Joint inflammation happens when the immune system or damaged tissue release chemicals which lead to swelling and other symptoms in a joint. It can affect a single joint, like when an individual sustains an injury. On the other hand, other medical conditions can result in multiple joint inflammations.
Another thing to remember is that slight inflammation is part of healing when one suffers a common injury, like a twisted ankle or a banged-up knee. Red, swollen, and painful joints may show your immune system’s battle to clear damaged tissue and stimulate the formation of new ones. This is a beneficial type of inflammation. However, the immune system occasionally causes detrimental, recurring inflammation in the joints for no apparent reason. Inflammatory arthritis occurs when this happens.
If you’re looking for other ways to reduce inflammation don’t forget to check out our previous post, “Relieve Chronic Inflammation with Turmeric and Curcumin Today.”
Because of America’s opioid epidemic, pharmacists, physicians, and insurance firms have been raising the bar on receives the painkillers –- and how much. It is not just the addiction element that calls for caution when using this type of painkiller to treat chronic joint pain; long-term use may also worsen one’s pain.
Like hydrocodone, opioid painkillers can trigger dependency and increase a person’s sensitivity to pain.6 This means that taking them over a long period may cause this to happen to you, referred to as opioid-induced hyperalgesia. Even though the exact mechanism for this increased pain sensitivity is still being researched, scientists agree that it happens often.
In addition, the amount of time it takes for one to develop opioid-induced hyperalgesia varies from one person to the next. It is a common belief that consuming relatively large doses of opioid painkillers for a long time, perhaps many months, raises the risk of getting this condition. Evidence shows that some individuals can develop opioid-induced hyperalgesia more quickly, like within two months.
Joint pain can significantly limit the ability to do basic tasks. Severe joint pain can even lead to reduced quality of life. Therefore, treatment should focus on the pain and the affected functions and activities.

Veggie scraps are bad news for landfill – they produce leachate, which can drag heavy metals from other rubbish into waterways – but composting is difficult for Australia’s increasing number of apartment-dwellers. However, there are solutions. Tony Ryan introduces you to his new pal, the bokashi bin.
Apartment living is for me. There’s no lawn to mow, no exterior walls to paint and no garden to maintain. But without that garden, a full-scale composting operation is out of the question. (Trust me, don’t go there – the result is a stinking, fly-ridden disaster in your apartment.)
Enter the bokashi bin. These ingenious indoor compost boxes reduced my household waste to one bag per week. This is a guesstimate, but I’d say I was throwing away up to three bags of kitchen waste a week before this little gem came into my life.
What’s the deal with bokashi bins?
The deal is that, for around $100, you can score yourself a spankin’ new bokashi bin, like mine, which is a bit full at the moment, hence the watermelon-and-celery conceptual art on the lid:
Setting them up is easy. Once they’re in place, just throw your kitchen waste in there till it’s full. Squash the waste down every day – it’s an anaerobic system, meaning the process goes better without oxygen, so you want to get as much air out of there as possible.
Now, here’s where the bokashi magic comes in. Your bin set will come with a spray (or powder) consisting of bacteria and yeasts, which break the waste down when they’re applied daily.
Depending on the type of spray you use, and how much waste you dispose of, you’ll need to buy a new bottle every two months or so. But the spray can also be used as an odour neutraliser, and as an all-purpose cleaner for your kitchen, bathroom and toilet.
You should also use bokashi bran to help keep the right mix of microbes in your bin. Buying the bran from shops can be expensive, but the good news is that you can make your own “bran” from woodchips, sawdust, coffee grounds, newspaper – you don’t have to use any real bran at all.
Hold on a second – why is it bad to chuck your food waste into landfill in the first place? When organic matter decomposes in landfill, it releases leachates, which may pollute waterways with heavy metals they pick up from the other forms of waste they share the landfill with. It also generates methane, a greenhouse gas that is 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
There’s debate as to whether bokashi boxes produce methane. Some organisations say that the bokashi process does produce methane, but others say that the microbes in the spray aren’t capable of producing it. Either way, if your food scraps end up in landfill, they will most certainly emit methane.
What can I chuck in there?
Whenever I’ve looked into composting, I’ve always been a bit intimidated by all the rules. Don’t put meat in. No onion. Make sure you keep the carbon–nitrogen balance right. Get it wrong and you can expect a slimy, stinky mess or a serious rodent infestation.
One of the best things about bokashi bins is that they use bacteria to break the organic matter down, so you can throw in all sorts of things that you can’t usually put straight into the compost. Your bokashi’s ever-hungry maw will gladly gobble up meat scraps, eggshells and dairy, as well as the usual fruit and veggie scraps.
You’ll want to seriously consider getting two bokashi bins, so that once the first one fills up, it will have a bit of time to ferment away nicely while you move onto filling up the second bin.
After about a week of decomposition, you’ll be able to extract “bokashi tea” from the spigot at the bottom of the bin. The smell will be warning enough, but it’s not really tea, so don’t drink it! It’s highly acidic, and pouring it down sinks and bathtubs makes it a great all-natural drain cleaner. And If you have a small garden or some pot plants, this “tea” makes an excellent fertiliser. Just be sure to dilute it first – use one part bokashi tea to 100 parts water – and use it quickly, because it spoils in about a day. I’m no green-thumb, but my household’s resident gardener has been using the tea on these plants, and look at them now!
While bokashi beats compost hands down when it comes to apartment living, you do still need to get rid of the waste regularly. (In my household, it takes a couple of weeks to fill up my bin.) Due to its acidity, bokashi waste can’t be put straight onto the garden (unless you’re digging it into a specific bokashi spot, which you’re probably not if you live in an apartment). It still needs to be composted before it turns into brown gold.
So, what to do?
Your local council might have a composting hub. Just search the web for “compost hub” plus the name of your municipality. If they don’t have one, get on the blower and let them know they should!
Alternatively, you can donate your precious bokashi waste to friends or family who live in a larger space and have a compost bin. The waste will enrich their compost and make their garden grow better.

Andrew Simms of the New Economics Foundation is going to give a public lecture. He will discuss his latest book Cancel the Apocalypse: New Pathways to Sustainability. The event is co-hosted with the IDS STEPs Centre.
Ever get the feeling that things are falling apart? You’re not alone. From bad banks to global warming it can all look hopeless, but what if everything could turn out, well, even better than before? What if the only thing holding us back is a lack of imagination and a surplus of old orthodoxies?
It’s a topsy-turvy world in which a country can import the same amount of ice-cream, toilet paper and other goods to trading partners as it exports, and where top bankers are paid millions for destroying economic value, while hospital cleaners create value many times their pay.
In fascinating and iconoclastic detail – on everything from the cash in your pocket to the food on your plate and the shape of our working lives – Cancel the Apocalypse describes how the relentless race for economic growth is not always one worth winning, how excessive materialism has come at a terrible cost to our environment, and hasn’t even made us any happier in the process.
Simms believes passionately in the human capacity for change, and shows how the good life remains in our grasp. While global warming and financial meltdown might feel like modern day horsemen of the apocalypse, Simms shows how such end of the world scenarios offer us the chance for a new beginning.
Andrew Simms is the author of several books, including Ecological Debt, The New Economics and the bestselling Tescopoly. He is the chief analyst on the environment at Global Witness, and was NEF’s policy director for over a decade, founding its work programme on climate change, energy and interdependence. He trained at the London School of Economics and was described by New Scientist Magazine as, ‘a master at joined-up progressive thinking.’ The Independent newspaper listed him as one of the UK’s top 100 environmentalists and London’s Evening Standard included him in their Power 1000 as one of the capital’s most influential people.

Cats have a reputation for enjoying heights. They are also known to “always land on their feet”. Experts say that heights are actually essential for your cat’s well-being, but some cats don’t like them.
Are cats afraid of heights?
Most cats love heights. In fact, they need them to feel safe and get enough physical and mental stimulation. However, just like humans, some cats can be afraid of heights.
Why Cats Like Heights
The first true cat was the Proailurus. Many of them lived in forests or rainforests. They would use their claws to climb trees. They climbed into the high branches for two reasons.
The first is safety. Few predators could reach the cat in the safety of the trees. They also climbed for hunting. Being up high gives a great vantage point. The cat could survey the area, and spot potential prey long before they could see it on the ground.
Today’s indoor cats don’t need to hide from predators, and they aren’t required to hunt for their meals. However, these instincts are still present.
Compared to our other beloved pet, dogs, cats have maintained more of their instincts. We have domesticated dogs. Today’s domestic dogs are much different from wild wolves or coyotes.
Cats, however, are much closer to their origins. When you watch your cat stalk a string or toy and pounce, it’s easy to imagine them pouncing on their prey. Cat lovers often believe that cats have trained us, instead of the other way around.
Ground vs. Height Preference
To say all cats love heights would be untrue. We can say that most cats enjoy heights. However, each cat has its own personality and preferences. Some cats are truly afraid of heights. However, some simply prefer to keep their feet on the ground.
Cats enjoy hiding for several reasons. They will hide when they are scared or stressed. However, they will also go to their special spot when they want to be alone or to simply relax.
It’s important for a cat to have a few places to hide. Some cats prefer heights, while others prefer a place on the ground. In fact, cats should be given both types of spaces.
Cats who enjoy heights may find themselves on top of your refrigerator or a tall shelf. Some seem to be thrill seekers, walking on tight ropes like clotheslines or a deck railing.
Other cats will hide behind your tv or under your bed. They may enjoy enclosed spaces, like laundry baskets or boxes. They may also burrow under your blankets.
Most cats will use hiding places on the ground and up high, but will use one or the other more often. Some cats have a stronger preference. They may only want places on the ground, or may only be comfortable when they are high.
How far can cats fall?
It’s natural to be curious about just how far a cat can fall without injury. After all, cats seem to have an uncanny ability to land on their feet.
How Do Cats Survive Falls?
When a cat begins to falls, they twist in mid air, positioning themselves so they land on their feet. This protects their vital organs and head from the majority of the impact.
Surprisingly, a longer fall can be safer for a cat than a short fall. Falls from 1 to 2 stories don’t always give the cat time to position themselves feet first, which can cause serious injuries when they hit the ground.
When they fall from 6 stories or less, they stiffen their legs. This often results in broken legs when they hit the ground, because the legs absorb the impact.
When they fall from more than 6 stories, they have a special technique. They stretch, spreading out their arms and legs. Their body and skin essentially acts as a parachute, keeping them from gaining too much speed as they fall.
When a human falls, they quickly gain speed. Terminal velocity is the maximum speed an object will reach during a freefall. Once terminal velocity is reached, a higher height makes little difference. The object will hit the ground at the maximum speed.
Cats parachuting ability allows them to freefall at a terminal velocity of 65 mph, while a human will gain twice that speed before they hit the ground, and hit with 4 times the force.
How High is Too High for a Cat?
There’s no exact amount for how high a cat can fall from and walk away. There are stories of cats falling more than 30 stories and surviving. Current research suggests that it’s common for cats to fall 20 stories, or 200 feet, and survive with little or no injury.
Of course, the surface the cat lands on makes a difference as well. Landing on grass will be much softer than landing on concrete.
Do some cats have a fear of heights?
Yes. Despite most cats love of heights, and the instinctual drive for them, some cats are scared of heights. Young and elderly cats are more likely to be scared of heights, but it can also happen because of a previous negative experience. Also, some cats prefer to seek safety on the ground rather than up high. Let’s take a closer look at why some cats are afraid of heights.
You’ve probably seen a toddler taking their first tentative steps. They are learning how to walk and use coordination. They can easily be thrown off by different terrain, even going from carpet to grass. Kittens are similar.
They cannot walk or see when they born. At two weeks, kittens begin to walk. They are uncoordinated, just like human toddlers. By 4 weeks, they can run and play. They begin to be coordinated to climb and jump at 6 weeks.
Older kittens may still be learning and tentative. They are still building their coordination skills and gaining confidence.
Ataxia causes incoordination. This can occur in the head, torso, or legs. Some cats have ataxia in all three areas. Proprioceptive ataxia causes the cat to not know where they are in space. This makes movements difficult and uncoordinated. Vestibular ataxia causes a loss of balance, because the vestibular system malfunctions. The last type occurs in the cerebellum. These cats often have exaggerated movements and tremors.
Ataxia can have many causes. Injuries to the brain, ear, or spinal cord can cause ataxia. Structural abnormalities or birth defects are another cause. Diseases, including tumors and distemper can also cause ataxia.
A cat with ataxia will be unsteady on their feet. They may stagger, as if they are drunk. Some types can also cause tremors. A cat with ataxia will rightly have a fear of heights, because they don’t have proper control over their body. Without the balance necessary to navigate high places, the cat will instinctively avoid them.
Senior cats will sometimes fear heights as well. This is typically caused by age related loss of coordination or movement issues. As your cat ages, they will become less agile. Their joints get stiffer. Their reflexes will slow. They may also lose some of their balance and coordination.
A senior cat who is experiencing these issues will keep their feet on the ground for their safety.
Negative associations can also cause your cat to dislike heights. Cats have a strong associative memory. For example, when your cat hops into your lap and rubs against you, you will likely pet her. The cat will quickly learn that hopping in your lap results in something they like, being petted.
This also works with negative experiences. If your cat was scared or harmed when they were up high, they may fear heights. It could be something directly related to heights, like being harmed or scared due to a fall. It’s also possible for it to have nothing to do with heights.
Your cat is on the refrigerator and a car drives by honking their horn. Your cat is startled by the loud noise. Even though the experience had nothing to do with the height of the fridge, the cat may avoid heights in the future.
Do cats know how far they can fall?
Yes. Cats have excellent survival instincts. It’s instinctual for a cat to seek out high places, and to know how high they can jump from safely. When a cat is injured during a fall, it’s nearly always an accidental fall. It’s rarely because they jump from a place that’s too high.
How often do cats hurt themselves from a fall?
Cats fall more often than most owners realize. In fact, the term “high rise syndrome” has been given to cats who accidentally fall from buildings.
When cats are in a natural environment, unintentional falls are rare. A cat will not jump from a height that they can’t handle, so injuries from a jump are very rare. A fall, however, is accidental.
Cats have the coordination and claws to navigate different terrain, including trees. However, they do not get good purchase on plastic or metal. This is why they fall from man-made materials much more often than natural areas.
How Does High-Rise Syndrome Happen?
High-rise syndrome often occurs because a cat falls out of a window. Cats love curling up in a nice cozy window. They love the warmth and the view of the outdoors. However, when the window is open, the cat can easily fall. Terraces are another common culprit. The cat may loose traction on concrete or metal, falling from the terrace or railing.
The other common reason cats fall is falling in their sleep. Cats often sleep in high areas because it provides a sense of safety. In the wild, high areas keep cats safe from many of their natural predators. It’s no surprise that our domestic cats would also want to snooze off the ground.
Cats enter a state of deep sleep, known as REM, just as humans do. Just like humans and dogs, they can also move around in their sleep. If they are sleeping from a precarious perch, this can cause them to fall.
There’s also a danger when waking up from sleep. It takes cats a moment to wake up and regain their coordination. Have you ever tried waking up and immediately hopping out of bed? You may have found that your body didn’t cooperate completely. When a cat is up high, this can cause them to fall.
What to Do After a Fall?
If your cat has a fall, it’s best to get a checkup. Some injuries are obvious, like a broken leg. However, internal injuries can occur due to a fall, and they can be impossible to spot on your own.
If you want to avoid an unnecessary vet trip, you’ll need to monitor them for a few hours after the fall. If your cat shows signs of pain, or disorientation, take them to the vet immediately. This also applies if your cat lost consciousness, even for a moment.
Next, check for areas of the body that cause the cat pain. Gently rub your hand over their body, and watch for any reactions that indicate pain. Check for blood as well. If there’s an injury to the head, you may see blood from the ears or nose. This is a sign you should get them to the vet quickly.

Childhood-onset epilepsy appeared to accelerate brain aging by about 10 years, a small prospective study in Finland suggested.
Over about 55 years of follow-up, people with childhood-onset epilepsy had greater rates of cognitive changes and more amyloid plaques, reported Matti Sillanpää, MD, PhD, of the University of Turku in Finland, and colleagues, at the American Epilepsy Society annual meeting, which is being held in Chicago and online.
Signs of brain aging were more advanced in people with focal than generalized epilepsy and in people with active epilepsy. No participant had dementia.
"Various aspects of cognitive and brain aging processes can be abnormal in persons with uncomplicated childhood-onset epilepsies as they enter their 60s, even for those whose epilepsy remitted many years ago," co-author Bruce Hermann, PhD, of University of Wisconsin Medical School in Madison, told MedPage Today.
"As some clinical and brain changes were found to be associated with health and lifestyle factors -- such as hypertension, education, and lifetime drug load -- greater attention to treatable factors earlier in life may benefit patients as they age," Hermann added.
The researchers compared 51 people with childhood-onset epilepsy with 52 matched controls without epilepsy, evaluating them in 2012 and 2017. Retention over the 5-year interval was 80% for the epilepsy group and 88% for controls, leaving 41 and 46 people in each group, respectively, in 2017.
Participants were diagnosed with childhood-onset epilepsy at about age 5, and mean age of people in the epilepsy group at follow-up was about 63. Amyloid was assessed by 11C-Pittsburgh compound B (PIB) PET.
A total of 32 people in the epilepsy group were in remission for 10 years or more; nine people had active epilepsy that persisted for decades.
Neurologic signs were significantly more common in people with childhood epilepsy not in remission (P=0.015), with cerebellar signs the most frequent abnormality (P<0.001). Neurologic signs in general (P=0.008) and cerebellar signs in particular (P=0.018) were more common in focal than in generalized epilepsy.
In 2012, 22% of people with childhood-onset epilepsy had amyloid plaques versus 7% of controls. By 2017, those percentages increased to 33% and 11%, respectively. There was no difference in the presence of amyloid plaques among people with active epilepsy compared with people in remission.
In the 5-year interval from 2012 to 2017, using a common threshold of meaningful cognitive change (z < -1.5) corrected for demographics and practice, the childhood-onset epilepsy group showed significant (P<0.05) prospective declines versus controls on measures of verbal reasoning, immediate recall, and set-shifting. People with active epilepsy showed additional significant (P<0.05) adverse declines in delayed memory and object naming, compared with controls and with people in remission.
Peripheral neuropathy occurred particularly in people with active epilepsy who had a higher lifetime phenytoin (Dilantin) load. MRI hippocampal atrophy in people with childhood-onset epilepsy was associated with arterial hypertension (P=0.017). MRI white matter abnormalities were linked with an absence of vocational education (P=0.011).
"Our results suggest it is important for those with childhood-onset epilepsy to work to achieve seizure control but it's also vital that they pay attention to risk and resilience factors for healthy brain and cognitive aging, including a healthy diet, exercise, and social activity, as well as treating high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood glucose levels," Hermann said.
"We do not know yet if people with childhood-onset epilepsy who have amyloid plaques are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease, a critical question we will be studying in the future," he added.
The study was supported by CURE Epilepsy, Finnish Government Research Grant, and Pro Humanitate Foundation.

NUT condemns Amanda Spielman
Categories: Latest News
Wednesday April 04 2018
Delegates at the National Union of Teachers (NUT) – a section of the National Education Unit – conference have condemned Ms Amanda Spielman, Ofsted Chief Inspector, for pursuing a “draconian” and “Islamophobic” agenda against British Muslim children which may lead to ramifications across the wider society.
The criticism follows a number of actions taken by Ms Spielman that have aimed to limit the wearing of the hijab in schools.
In November 2017, Ofsted said that they would question all primary school Muslim children if they wore the hijab. Ms Spielman at the time said: “creating an environment where primary school children are expected to wear the hijab could be interpreted as sexualisation of young girls”.
Ms Spielman also publicly supported the banning of the hijab for girls younger than eight that was briefly introduced by St Stephen’s School in Newham. Ms Spielman stated: “Under the pretext of religious belief, they use education institutions…to isolate and segregate, and…to indoctrinate impressionable minds with extremist ideology”. The head of the school later apologised for the ban and criticised the media, and individuals, for exploiting the incident for their political motives against the hijab and British Muslim children.
A motion passed at the NUT conference warns that Ms Spielman’s comments “have ramifications beyond the school gates and must be seen in the context of increased attacks on the Muslim community and particular stereotypes about Muslim girls and Muslim women”.
The motion also states: “These statements could have a negative impact on local communities and lead to further marginalisation of, and increased physical and verbal attacks on, Muslim women and girls”.
Ms Jess Edwards, NUT executive member for inner London, said: “The portrayal of the hijab as a problem will feed into an already horribly Islamophobic climate for Muslims inside of British society”.
Ms Edwards added: “Ms Spielman has betrayed the parents who have rolled back the hijab ban in that Newham school and portrayed them as being radicalised extremists”.
Ms Mehreen Begg, a teacher from Croydon, said: “it is wholly inappropriate for Ofsted inspectors to question primary-age Muslim girls on their choice of dress…this is an act of intimidation by a powerful adult on a young child and has no place in our education inspection system”.
Ms Kausar Jan, a delegate from Leeds, accused Ms Spielman of “wading in and telling our girls, saying that “no, you’re going to be questioned about why you are wearing that? Who has actually oppressed you?”…Well let me tell you Amanda Spielman, we’re not going to take it. I am so proud to be in a union that is challenging this, I am so proud that we stand shoulder to shoulder”.
Ms Jan added: “Whatever your ideas about the hijab, I’m so proud of our general secretary who has stood shoulder to shoulder and head to head with Amanda Spielman telling her our union is not going to accept her Islamaphobic policies…We have taken regressive steps, where our children are now being told, or made to feel, they must leave their cultural, and linguistic, and religious identity at the door…I know Muslim girls and men who have shaved off their beards, taken off their hijabs so they can Anglicise themselves to fit in, so they are not viewed as part of the problem”.
A spokesperson from Ofsted in response to the motion said: “There’s nothing political about ensuring that schools and parent aren’t being subject to undue pressure by national or community campaign group”.
The spokesperson added: “Headteachers need to be able to take uniform decisions on the basis of safeguarding or community cohesion concerns, and Ofsted will always support them in doing that”.
MEND unequivocally supports the right for children to wear the hijab in schools as a manifestation of their religious and cultural identity and commends the motion passed by the teachers union.

What is margin and leverage in Forex trading?
The goal of leverage effect is to provide a higher return on investment, which makes this approach attractive to both large and retail traders.
Understanding margin and leverage
The terms "margin" and "leverage" are often misunderstood by novice traders. Risk management is the key to success in financial sector operating, but it is only achievable when we correctly employ the leverage effect. Margin trading is applicable to a wide range of markets, including forex, commodities, futures, stock, and cryptocurrency. Its objective is to increase the return on investment. This is the reason which makes such approach attractive to both large (or institutional) and small (or retail) traders. In reality, these two terms indicate the same thing, but in a different way. The difference is that leverage is presented as a ratio (for example, 1:100) and margin as a percentage (or %). This is what causes confusion for most beginners, which does not allow them to fully comprehend and understand.
Under the hood of financial leverageThe leverage ratio is expressed as follows:
This ratio indicates the number of units that can be managed per unit of your account balance. This means that if your account balance is $1,000 and your leverage is 1:10, you can manage $10,000. Why can I manage $10,000 when I have only $1,000 in my account, you may ask. Well, 1:10 leverage means that you can control 10 units for each unit in your account, so your account has $1,000 units, and each can control an additional 10 units, resulting in a final result of $10,000. This example shows that the ratio shows the maximum amount that can be managed at a particular level of leverage. The more leverage you have, the more money you can manage. The easiest way to find the maximum amount you can trade is to multiply the amount in your account by the number of units you can manage with leverage.
The anatomy of margin
The margin percentage indicates the portion of the total value of the transaction that we need to fund on our own.
If our margin is 10% and the total value of the transaction is $1,000, we will open and maintain this position from the balance of our account with our own funds of $100. In this example, the value of the transaction is multiplied by the margin percentage to be $1,000x10%, i.e. $100 to open a $1,000 position. A reasonable question may arise: Where does the other $900 come from then? The answer is - this amount is provided by the broker. That's why it is so important to carefully choose forex broker.
The relationship between leverage and margin
As mentioned earlier, margin and leverage show the same thing. The reason is that each leverage ratio corresponds to a certain margin rate. To find this percentage, we need to divide the leverage ratio. Then we multiply by 100 and find the margin percent. For example, a leverage of 1:10 corresponds to a margin of 10%. Look at the table below, the greater the leverage we have, the lower the margin rate will be. Conversely, the lower the leverage, the higher the margin:
Leverage, margin and risk
There is a relationship between the use of the leverage effect and the risk in trading on the financial markets. The higher the load on the account, the greater the risk, which can have a negative impact on the balance, even with smaller price deviations. Many traders do not realize that the account can be debited not only from a larger position, but also from many smaller trades. For this reason, the total value of open positions should be carefully monitored, as margin trading can significantly increase your profits, but can also increase your realized losses.
The advantage of margin and leveraged trading is that if you pick right, you can win huge. The disadvantage is that if you pick wrong, you will lose huge. Also, you may be required to deposit additional capital to cover your margin. In fact, it's possible to lose more money than your initial investment when trading on margin. And, of course, the elephant in the room - an often overlooked quality of leveraged trading is that you'll owe interest on your position, called swap, and this interest depends on the size of the position and holding time - the longer you hold your position, the greater the interest will be.

The mouse olfactory system comprises 6-10 million olfactory sensory neurons in the epithelium lining the nasal cavity. is difficult to determine due to the density of ciliary structures. To overcome this problem, we optimized an approach for whole mount labeling of cilia, leading to improved visualization of their morphology and the distribution of signaling proteins. We demonstrate the power of this approach by comparing whole mount and conventional cryosection labeling of Kirrel2. This axon-guidance adhesion molecule is known to localize in a subset of sensory neurons and their axons in an activity-dependent manner. Whole mount cilia labeling revealed an additional and novel picture of the localization of this protein. preparation preparation technique which allows the detailed analysis of protein localization in cilia. Briefly, the mouse is Rabbit polyclonal to ITPKB. sacrificed and the head split near the midline. Turbinates, nasal, and frontal bones are removed to expose the septum. The septum with the olfactory part of the lining epithelium is loosened by cutting all connections to the nasal cavity. After putting the septum into a petri dish filled with Ringers solution, the epithelium is peeled off und transferred to a coated glass slide. Following a short fixation step, immunostaining procedures can be performed if handling is as gentle as possible to avoid damage of the fragile tissue. We demonstrate the achievable AMD 070 resolution by comparing the staining of two different AMD 070 membrane proteins in olfactory cilia in traditional cryosections and in the planning described. Protocol Take note: All pet procedures were managed in the Charit or College or university Center Jena in accord with German Pet Care laws staying away from any undue struggling of pets. 1. Planning Solutions and Dissection Office Solutions Take note: Prepare the next solutions prior to starting dissection from the epithelium. Solutions for the dissection treatment: Prepare Ringers remedy (pH 7.4) with concentrations of 140 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 10 mM HEPES, 2 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2, and 10 mM blood sugar. Make a PBS-/- remedy (pH 7.4) with AMD 070 concentrations of 2.68 mM KCl, 1.47 mM KH2PO4, 136 mM NaCl, and 8.1 mM Na2HPO4. Make a fixative remedy (pH 7.2) with concentrations of 1x PBS-/-, 0.2 mM CaCl2, 4% sucrose, and 4% paraformaldehyde. Sucrose in the fixative remedy improves pick-up and cryosectioning of cryosections. Shop at -20 C. Solutions for the staining treatment Make a PBS+/+ remedy with concentrations of 1x PBS-/-, 0.48 mM MgCl2, 0.9 mM CaCl2. Make a PBST+/+ remedy with concentrations of 1x PBS+/+ and 0.1% Triton X-100. Make a obstructing remedy with concentrations of 1x PBST+/+ and 1% gelatine. Office For the dissection office, utilize a dissecting microscope with shiny AMD 070 illumination, and a liquid-blocker pencil. Make a petri dish, filled up with Ringers remedy, AMD 070 and adhesive cup slides. Have the pursuing medical instruments: a set of medical scissors with one razor-sharp and one blunt suggestion, a set of springtime scissors with right tip form, two forceps with good curved tip form and a razor cutting tool (Shape 1A). 2. Planning of the Nose Septum Dogs and cats in authorized cages with regular usage of water and food and appropriate day time/night routine. Perform anesthesia inside a shut receptacle including gauze soaked with 100% isoflurane and monitor analgesia by tests rear feet reflexes. Since cervical dislocation could cause bloodstream in nose cavities, decapitate anesthetized mice directly. Take away the pores and skin to expose the bone tissue of the complete nasal area and skull, and wipe aside the rest of the bloodstream and cells utilizing a paper towel thoroughly. Take away the lower jaw and leading tooth. Incise the dorsal bone tissue of the nasal area bilaterally in 1-2 mm range parallel towards the suture range to split up one side from the septum (medially) through the maxilla (laterally). Break up the nasal area with an individual cut. If bone tissue remnants and turbinates are mounted on the septum still, remove these to expose the septum completely without coming in contact with it carefully. Remove the.

Qadir, worshippers of the sun and lords of the Dunes. The Qadir are unrivaled sword fighters, as well as excellent mages, contributing to the strong Qadir Sultanate, spanning almost the entirety of Farah’deen. Qadir have a vibrant culture based on the deserts and their slavery, the biggest export and factor of their daily lives. Qadir Pirates are also the most feared on the seas, marauding Regalian merchant vessels and much more in search for loot and slaves.
Among the proud race of the desert that is the Qadir, sit two distinct cultures. On one hand you have the “Azir;” city builders and dwellers of the magnificent sandstone structures housed within the swelling deserts of Farahdeen. They have dark brown, black some might say, skin, paired with pure white hair and golden eyes. This half of Qadir culture are the builders, the priests, the royalty, the high ones amongst their kin. They are the ones to thank for the pristine temples, the palaces, the beauty and luxury that the deserts have to offer Aloria. On the opposite spectrum of Farahdeen sit the others, the “Meshket”. Wanderers of the desert, those who lurk in the harsh sands, the slavers, the shady merchants, the bandits, the nomads. Oftentimes not to be trusted, they make up dark secrets of the Sultanate. Sporting dark black hair, and sharing the splendid golden eyes of their kin, their tan skin is often what will be seen in back alley deals and black markets. This half of the Qadir culture is oftentimes associated with the travelers of Farahdeen’s deserts – those who do not stay in one place often, such as merchants, slavers, and as has been stated, nomads and bandits. The two sides offer very different views into the lives of those who live in the desert, and their distinctions should be known to any who wish to travel the vast, sprawling seas of sand and heat.
Qadir appearance is always similar in all regards but two small deviations. The people of the desert are all born with skin of anywhere from a deep tan to a darkened brown, the shade having developed from the many many years living in the desert it grants them more protection from the harmful effects of the sun than the fair skinned people of the human and chi'i race. Qadir also are always tall at the end of their growth, standing anywhere from the lower to higher range of six feet, only accentuated with the Seraph inherited trait of slightly longer limbs. The two features of the dark skinned Farahdeen people of which there is minute variation would be the eyes and hair. Azir Qadir, often considered the highers of the people, have white hair, as white as the snow which they never set eyes upon in the desert. And the eyes of the Qadir are either a stunning gold or a shining silver, these traits stemming from their closeness to their seraph ancestor's and represent a strong connection to the veil, making all Qadir rather proficient in the magical arts if they so choose to be.
The Qadir as a whole are much more adept with the ways of magic, and have an aptitude for learning it. They as a people are closer related the Seraph than many other races of Seraph descent, including Humans, Dwarfs, and Tigrans, leading to their slightly extended limbs, white hair, and golden eyes. This relation correlates to their magical prowess and makes their mages often quite adept with their art when compared to others.
The Qadir as a whole are much more physically capable than humans, their longer reach and increased height do apply to this feat, and there are many more of these desert people who are athletic, or muscular than frail or bony. Their fighters are a force to be reckoned with, leading their militaries to be quite the danger, their bandits something to look out for.
Most if not all Qadir of the sprawling desert continent follow the Sun Religion of Shama-Abdala. Qadir culture practically revolves around the worship of the Sun. The giant yellow orb looms over the desert, a source of life, death, judgement, it’s presence seeps into all walks of Qadir life. It’s shape adorns walls, flags, banners, carpets, and the robes of priests and priestesses, hundreds of thousands of Qadir can be heard singing hymns to the Sun from the many Minare of the capital, all of Farahdeen prays every morning and night to the Sun and it’s glory. Even going as far as to deal with their prisoners by putting them into the blazing sun for days, allowing the light and heat of the sun to judge them for their crimes. All of those within the reach of the Sultanate follow this religion or are condemned for their heresy, being seen as lesser’s, outcasts of Farahdeen and heretics by their peers, and the non-Qadir of Aloria are seen in the same light and treated as such by those of the desert.
The deserts of Farahdeen house more than just the Qadir. They hold within their shifting sands the only large scale political establishment that remains stable in all of the world of Aloria, except the human Empire of Regalia. The Sultanate of Farahdeen, also known as the “Qadir’iyye”, is currently headed by the Qadir Sultan, Warith Min’ramhl the Second, whom has all but full sovereignty of Farahdeen. This establishment is similar to a Monarchy, wherein it’s Sultans pass on the right to rule to their eldest son – the line only switching when either all of the current family die out, or when taken by force. Sultans often have many sons, birthed by the many women of the Sultanate harems, whom often fight against one another, or orchestrate civil wars against their fathers to take power for themselves. The Sultan controls the most power when it comes to governmental affairs, though the sub groups of the Emirs and the Beylik do have some power resulting in them having a small say. The current Sultanate of the Min’ramhl is a rather new line, having rose to power through what some might hear whispered as underhanded means.
The largest trade of the Qadir would be slavery. Qadir slavers are plentiful throughout the unending dunes of Farahdeen, and often make their ways to other continents in search of new “products”. Slave markets are in most areas of the desert continent selling all sorts of races from all walks of life, slaves themselves make up much of society for the Qadir, making up much of the Qadir’s standing army, and being seen in large numbers in the upper ring of Qadir society, and are not as rare as you might think within the middle class. The exporting of slaves is the largest and most successful business venture for the Qadir, slave ships are often seen in and out of Qadir ports, transporting “wares” to Elves, Humans, Dwarves, and other races alike. The Qadir slavers of Farahdeen have mastered their craft and are rather efficient and dangerous, it is not often their merchandise escapes them nor alludes their capture.
As might be expected, large political entities do not always see eye to eye, the Sultanate of Farahdeen and the Regalian Empire are at odds with one another, and the tension between the two groups is rather high. The Sultanate frequently funds pirates in secret, using them to target Regalian merchants throughout Aloria’s seas. And in retaliation the Regalians offer a rebuttal of cannon fire from their large navy upon many Qadir port towns, punishing Farahdeen’s citizens for the secret dealings of their Sultans. But the two never go much beyond these acts as they have very opposite focuses in terms of military strength. The Qadir have an enormous standing army of captured slaves from all walks of life and rainbow of races and cultures, larger than any standing land military in all of Aloria. Where as the Regalian Empire’s might is largely invested in naval might, having the largest standing Navy force in all of Aloria, putting the two world powers at odds, as the Regalian navy does not have the manpower to lead a ground assault against Farahdeen, and the Qadir do not have the power at sea to transport their troops to Regalian lands nor defeat the Regalian navy.
Recently, strange being’s have been sighted within the shifting sands. Ghostly Sand Wraiths wander the dunes and are sighted heavily around very large sand filled necropolises scattered throughout the deserts. The Qadir have taken to calling them “Sadeir” and are to be avoided at all costs, seeming to be very violent and unreasonable, they mercilessly kill and Qadir they stumble upon in the deserts. The Sadier’s appearance is a mystery to the Qadir people, having seemingly come out of nothing for an unexplained reason. These specters have been found to be immune to all assaults except those of magic; swords, spears, and axes alike slipping through them as if they were air. They have made the deserts a larger danger than before and have caused many Qadir to change their travel routes, trying to steer as clear of these ghostly sand people at all costs.

Professional Dental Info About Xylitol
Daily use has shown remarkable xylitol dental benefits. Xylitol’s noncariogenic five-carbon structure keeps it from being metabolized by bacteria, stopping the production of tooth-decay causing acid. By using 100% xylitol products throughout the day, bacteria is prevented from creating the acids that damage the teeth. Regular use of Xylitol products prevent plaque from gaining hold on dental surfaces. Hence, it protects the mouth between brushing and flossing for both adults and children.
Xylitol’s dental benefits also include a decrease of bacteria. Xylitol enhances the remineralization of teeth, particularly in small decay spots just developing in the tooth enamel. Bacteria are unable to produce acid in the presence of xylitol and as a result the plaque pH does not decrease. The stable pH prevents demineralization, and hardens the lining of the cavities making untreated cavities less sensitive. This was clearly demonstrated in the study done in Belize on school children. In a 1980’s double blind study, 1,277 school children chewed gum several times a day. Some were given ordinary gum sweetened with sucrose; others were given gum sweetened with sorbitol or xylitol. After 40 months of gum chewing (including weekends, holidays, and vacations) the xylitol group experience 73% fewer caries, sorbitol group a reduction of 26%, and an increase of 120% of caries in the sucrose group. Xylitol’s naturally cooling and sweet tastes also increase salivary flow, which optimizes the pH level in the mouth further promoting dental health. Research has confirmed and expanded on earlier findings.
Caries prevention: Xylitol Dental Benefits vs. Control
(S. mutans), is known to increase acid in the mouth, as they produce an acidic environment, additional acid-loving microorganisms have a selective survival advantage and exponentially will cause more damage. However, if the acid in dental plaque is kept low, then demineralization is slowed or halted. Since xylitol slows demineralization and enables some rebuilding of the enamel, it assists in the prevention of new cavities from forming and over time can reverse tooth decay that already occurred. Studies have shown that using xylitol five times per day is very effective at preventing caries.
Patient Engagement Tips
When talking to your patients about xylitol dental benefits there are a few rules of thumb that you want to follow. First, quantity is not as important as frequency. Second, since you know they need 4-5 exposures a day, recommend 6-7. Third, be brand specific.
Quantity vs. Frequency
1) The number of exposures is much more important than the quantity of xylitol. As long as the product is 100% sweetened with xylitol you are more than likely getting enough xylitol. All that needs to happen is we need to replace the carbohydrates and sugars that are in the mouth with xylitol. This can be done by using candies that you suck on, gum that you chew for more than 2-3 minutes, toothpaste and mouthwash with xylitol, candies with xylitol, etc. Anything that helps to stimulate saliva and helps wash out sugar residues form whatever we just ate and replace those residues with xylitol. We sometimes hear people say or read in articles that 7-10 grams a day is what we need, according to newest research it isn’t the quantity that matters as much as the frequency. STRIVE FOR FIVE.
2) We all know that patient compliance is key in any healthcare program. Since xylitol is such a great tasting solution it is one that can be easily followed. We know your patients need 4-5 exposures a day, so if you want them to get 4-5 exposures then start by telling them 6-7 exposures. Another thing that could be helpful in getting compliance is to have them swap out products they currently use with products that contain xylitol. Have them swap out their current toothpaste and mouthwash for toothpaste and mouthwash with xylitol. Have them use xylitol. Have them use xylitol to sweeten their tea and coffee. Xylitol breathmints and gum, there is such a wide variety of products available that it is quite easy to get to the recommended 5 exposures a day. STRIVE FOR FIVE for the best xylitol dental benefits.
Be Brand Specific
3) Finally be brand specific when talking about xylitol to your patients. The reason for this is not so you are pushing a single brand, but because if you talk about xylitol in general terms then your patients will simply go buy the first thing they see that says xylitol on its packaging and changes are that this product will not have enough xylitol to have any positive effect. Pick a brand that you know is 100% xylitol and is available where you live. You may also want to take into account the number of different products in their product line. The wider variety of products then the easier it is to get the needed exposures.
When recommending xylitol products to your patients, be sure that you are recommending products that are 100% xylitol. You want to make sure that there is no mannitol, maltitol, sorbitol, or HSH (blended polyols) as they cavity causing bacteria thrive on these sweeteners. There are also a number of companies out there touting their products as containing xylitol and being tooth friendly while the main sweetener is labeled as HSH followed by low levels of xylitol and significant levels of acid. Any dental candies that are labeled “sours” you can assume are going to have high levels of acid. Check the ingredients, not just the front label claims before recommending them to your patients. The products we list on the products page of this website will have more information.
Xylitol Dental Benefits: Benefits in the Evidence
The evidence of xylitol’s dental benefits are difficult to dismiss or take lightly. With its sweetness, low glycemic index, and multifaceted benefits continue to make xylitol more appealing. Since patient compliance has an extensive impact on costs and strategies for dental care, all dentists should find something to smile about when it comes to xylitol dental benefits. Xylitol is widely available in health food stores in a variety of forms such as candy, toothpaste, mouthwash, floss, gums, mints, and as a bulk sweetener.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ) — Governor Larry Hogan signed an executive order Tuesday aimed at strengthening cybersecurity in Maryland, including a new entity solely to coordinate cybersecurity efforts.
The order creates the position of the Maryland Chief Information Security Officer and establishes the Office of Security Management and the Maryland Cybersecurity Coordinating Council.
"Security of Marylanders is at the forefront of our administration's efforts on a day-to-day basis. In today's world of emerging cyber threats, it is crucial that we work in unity to improve the processes and procedures designed to protect Marylanders and to manage and minimize the consequences of cyber events," said Governor Hogan. "The steps we are taking today are about ensuring that Maryland's infrastructure and citizens are as safe as possible from cyber attacks."
The Maryland Chief Information Security Officer will lead the new office, within the Department of Information Technology.
That office will be responsible for the overall cybersecurity strategy and policy for all state agencies in the Executive Branch, Maryland Department of Information Technology said in a release Tuesday.
They will also lead the charge in updating the Maryland Cybersecurity Manuel to streamline and harmonize efforts among multiple different organizations to work toward a more unified front in cybersecurity.
The MCCC will work to give policy-level guidance on implementing the cybersecurity program as well as give recommendations to build and sustain the capabilities necessary for the state to identify, protect, detect, respond and recover from cybersecurity-related risk, MDIT said.
The MCCC will be made up of state officials in various agencies and departments throughout the state, the release said.
"It is essential that the state's overall cybersecurity strategy and policy are in alignment with best practices and the latest federal standards and guidelines, such as the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidelines," said John Evans, Maryland's Chief Information Security Officer.

About Commercial Wood Flooring - Engineered
Our range of commercial wood flooring is entirely from our engineered section. There are many reasons for this., but most important to consider is stability. Commercial floors often need to be more stable to ensure that they can handle more the more demanding installations and to reduce the risk of a project failing.
As many commercial projects are installed in large areas, a more stable engineered floor can withstand this. Often, solid wood floors cannot. The extra stability also helps them to handle larger changes in heat and humidity. This is something that can often occurr in a commercial space.
Of course, there are many more great reasons, and we recommend reading our guide on "What is Engineered Wood Flooring" to find out a lot more.

Attractive forces between molecules decrease the pressure of a real gas, slowing the molecules and reducing collisions with the walls. The higher the value of a, the greater the attraction between molecules and the more easily the gas will compress.
Why do attractive forces decrease pressure?
Also since their are no intermolecular forces acting, distance between molecules is maximum. But when they have intermolecular attraction they come closer due this attraction, resulting in decrease in volume, and thus decrease in pressure.
What is the effect of attractive forces between the molecules of a gas on the pressure of the gas in a container?
These forces become particularly important for gases at low temperatures and high pressures, where intermolecular distances are shorter. Attractions between molecules reduce the number of collisions with the container wall, an effect that becomes more pronounced as the number of attractive interactions increases.
What would be the effect of forces of attraction repulsion to gases?
Effect on the behavior of gases
In a gas, the repulsive force chiefly has the effect of keeping two molecules from occupying the same volume. This gives a real gas a tendency to occupy a larger volume than an ideal gas at the same temperature and pressure.
Do gases have attractive forces?
Gas In a gas, particles are in continual straight-line motion. The kinetic energy of the molecule is greater than the attractive force between them, thus they are much farther apart and move freely of each other. In most cases, there are essentially no attractive forces between particles.
How does intermolecular forces affect pressure?
Strong intermolecular forces produce a lower rate of evaporation and a lower vapor pressure. Weak intermolecular forces produce a higher rate of evaporation and a higher vapor pressure. As the temperature increases, the vapor pressure increases.
How do intermolecular forces affect mass?
If the molecules have similar molar masses and similar types of intermolecular forces, look for the one that is the most polar or that has the most electronegative atoms or the most hydrogen bonding groups. … In this case, the one with the much higher molar mass will have the strongest intermolecular forces overall.
Do ideal gases have intermolecular forces?
Explanation: Ideal gases are assumed to have no intermolecular forces and to be composed of particles with no volume. Under high pressure, gas particles are forced closer together and intermolecular forces become a factor.
When an ideal gas increases in volume at constant pressure what is the average kinetic energy?
The volume of an ideal gas increases at constant pressure. So the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas. The average kinetic energy of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature. It means the average kinetic energy increases as the temperature increases.
Why do gases deviate from ideal behavior at high pressure?
At high pressure, molecules tend to be more crowded together; if they are closer together, the intermolecular forces are stronger, and cause more deviations from ideal gas behavior, which assumes those forces don’t exist.
How do repulsive forces differ from attractive forces physics?
Repulsion is a movement between two charges that are identical or similar. The power that exists between two electrons (negative charge). Attraction is a force between two charges that are distinct or unlike. … Repulsive forces occur only when atoms are very close to each other.
What is an attractive force between two atoms?
A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms that enables the formation of chemical compounds and may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between atoms with opposite charges, or through the sharing of electrons as in the covalent bonds. The strength of chemical bonds varies considerably.
Does molecule size affect pressure?
The pressure decreases as the molecular weight increases because the speed of the molecules moving in a sealed container would decrease according to Newtons second Law of motion.
How do you know if attractive or repulsive forces dominate?
When molecules are farther away from each other(as Vreal > Videal) the attractive forces are dominant. Repulsive force are dominant when he molecules are almost in contact .
Which force is dominant at low pressure?
Even at low pressure, repulsive forces dominate hydrogen gas.
What happens to gases at high pressure?
Real Gases at High Pressure
At higher pressures, gas molecules are closer together in a space. … Intermolecular forces hold molecules together more, lessening the force and frequency of collisions with the container wall and thus lowering the pressure below ideal values.
