Characters: Matt, Sam, Joe, George, Justin, Harry, Jaron, BIlly, Chris zhane, Ben, Bob ( NOT GUILTY)
Sam: time frame became extended, they started to discuss if Tom is guilty or not.
Justin: I feel Tom is guilty because she wouldn’t lie under oath. She said ‘’ I positively did,’’. When Mr.Gilmer had asked her’’ You say you fought him off as hard as you could? ‘’ She wouldn’t lie about that.
Jaron: He is so guilty she would never want that boy on her. How could she?
Zhane: But when Mr. Finch asked “Did you ever, at any time, go on the Ewell property, did you ever set foot on the Ewell property without an express invitation from one of them?” without any hesitation he had told his answer right away saying, “No suh, Mr.Finch, I never did. I wouldn’t do that, suh.”…show more content… I asked her who hurt her and she said it was Tom Robinson”. This piece of evidence is useful because she was so positive and she didn’t change her answer today she’s clearly in her right mind.
Joe: I agree she seems sure and I don’t think she’d say it was him if it wasn’t. Why would she not tell the truth? The rapist would still be out if she didn’t tell the truth.She wouldn’t want that.
Ben: I really don’t believe this Tom Robinson had done it. Atticus asked him and I quotes”Did you harm her in anyway?” When Tom answered that question he answered honest I can tell that man ain’t do a thang.
Billy I say he’s as guilty as can be Ben, If he wasn’t we wouldn’t be here. Know would we?
Harry: All this evidence that shows tom is guilty is greater than the evidence that shows he could not | <urn:uuid:02c8a638-567a-4b0a-93a7-f20ae48ec049> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.bartleby.com/essay/Character-Analysis-The-Grapes-Of-Wrath-By-PCCU5WXL5T | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.983652 | 458 | 2.0625 | 2 |
Ancient teeth reveal evidence of 400,000 year-old manmade pollution in Israel
A multi-national team of researchers found the first known case of manmade pollution in a cave in Israel. The evidence was found in the hardened dental plaque of 400,000-year-old teeth, which had locked-in respiratory irritants, including traces of charcoal— a manmade environmental pollution.
More recently in 2017, the analysis of a large collection of hundreds of flint stones and flakes was made at the site, leading archaeologists to conclude that this cave was used as a early form of learning center – a ‘school of rock’ as it was described.
Qesem cave – an archaeological treasure trove
Phys.org reports that researchers from Tel Aviv University, in collaboration with scholars from Spain, the UK, and Australia, found the fossilized teeth at Qesem Cave near Tel Aviv, a Lower Paleolithic archaeological site that was occupied by early humans and has already yielded thousands of fossils and artifacts including blades, knives, flakes, hammer stones, hand-axes, and bones from 4,740 animals, such as deer, aurochs, horses, pigs, goats, tortoises and rhinoceroses.

Earliest evidence of regular fire use
The Qesem Cave has also yielded one of the earliest examples of regular fire use by early humans, as evidenced by large quantities of burnt bone, heated soil lumps, ash deposits, and most significantly, a 300,000-year-old hearth in the center of the cave. An analysis of the hearth revealed that it has been used repeatedly over time.
Although scientists estimate that ancient humans began using fire over a million years ago, it had been unclear when humans starting using it on a regular basis, for example, for cooking daily meals. Discoveries in Qesem Cave confirmed that they were doing this at least as early as 300,000 years ago.

First manmade pollution
The latest finding of fossilized teeth now reveals that these early humans suffered from a poor quality of air as a result of their regular use of fire, probably without adequate ventilation in the cave.
The new study, published in Quaternary International, analyzed the dental calculus of the fossilized teeth. The hardened dental plaque, which the researchers say served as a “time capsule”, was remarkably well-preserved as a result of the cave being sealed for 200,000 years.
Trapped within the calculus, the scientists found traces of charcoal from indoor fires.
"This is the first evidence that the world's first indoor BBQs had health-related consequences," said Professor Barkai of Tel Aviv University. "The people who lived in Qesem not only enjoyed the benefits of fire—roasting their meat indoors—but they also had to find a way of controlling the fire—of living with it.”
"This is one of the first, if not the first, cases of manmade pollution on the planet… Progress has a price—and we find possibly the first evidence of this at Qesem Cave 400,000 years ago," he added.
This inhaled environmental pollution may well have had a negative effect on the health of these early humans.
By analyzing hundreds of flint items and specifically looking at the process of ‘knapping’ (the striking technique used to create lithic tools) archaeologist Ella Assaf noticed that the stones had been worked by prehistoric makers with differing levels of competence. Some showed skilled clean breaks, while others showed the scars of breaks and mistakes.
Assaf asserted that there was some kind of learning process taking place, which would mean the hominins present at the cave left evidence (albeit inconclusive) of complex behaviors that were not known to exist at the time.
“I wouldn’t talk about a school in the modern sense, but we can see a specific tradition, a specific way of doing things in the cave, which was passed on from generation to generation,” says Assaf as reported in a Haaretz article .
By the time hominins lived in Qesem they had developed elaborate tool-making and hunting techniques and it seems they had learned to control fire. It is possible that a primitive form of language also developed in order to pass on these skills.

Mike Ionita Highlights the Role Passion Plays in Running a Successful Business
Previous generations were boldly instructed to ‘follow their passions’. But is passion a pre-cursor and determinant for success? Founder and Creative Director of Crux Video Game Design, Mike Ionita, says yes. Mike Ionita has loved animation for as long as he can remember. Growing up playing Street Fighter II and watching Tom & Jerry, he never imagined that one day he would be running his own video game design studio. Mike credits his success to his passion for the craft and believes that it can help you succeed in anything you do. Mike Ionita is here to outline the benefits of passion in running a successful business.
What is passion?
Passion can be defined as a strong, and barely controllable, emotion. For Mike Ionita, it is an emotion to be acted upon. Have you ever started working on a project and hours have gone by without you even noticing? If you have, it is a sure-fire way to figure out where your passion lies. This state is called ‘flow’, and is a mental state where someone is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of an activity. Whether it is project management, writing, accounting, or painting, this type of passion will help you push through obstacles when they inevitably arise.
Mike Ionita explains that passion often equals perseverance. When he first founded Crux Video Game Design, it was not an overnight success. The long hours, constant challenges, and lack of financial investment were only bearable because of his love for animation. Passion doesn’t meet failure or challenge and give up, it perseveres and responds with resilience. Mike Ionita explains that passion is all about growth and overcoming challenge. The ‘what’ of passion is less important than the process itself. Improving, learning, and adapting is an intoxicating feeling, and is what fuels most successful business leaders.
Have you ever read an article whose topic didn’t interest you? It can be unbelievably difficult to stay focused and commitment to something that doesn’t interest you. Mike Ionita explains that he never focused so intently on something until he discovered his passion for animation. Even aspects of animation, like researching, concept development, and story boarding, that were previously uninteresting, became all-consuming. When you are able to focus intently on what you are doing, you are also more likely to be thorough, dedicated, and avoid making simple mistakes.
In addition to perseverance, passion also breeds excitement. As a leader, it is crucial for you to enjoy what you do if you want to spark that same excitement in your workforce. Mike Ionita explains that excitement is contagious. Excitement, according to Mike, allows him and his team to stay open-minded, allowing them to focus on opportunities rather than problems. In an industry evolving as quickly as his, Mike Ionita explains that innovation is vital, and that passion has allowed his entire team to stay curious.
Of course, Mike Ionita explains that passion can be a double-edged sword. If you have too many passions, it will be hard to focus in on one thing long enough for it to be successful. Warren Buffet has come up with a tool to help you narrow your focus. Write down 25 things you’re passionate about and put them in order of importance. Circle the top 5 and focus solely on those. The other 20? Put them on an ‘avoid at all costs’ list. | <urn:uuid:63bcf225-13bf-4ef1-a021-48f351bf908c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://mikeionita.medium.com/mike-ionita-highlights-the-role-passion-plays-in-running-a-successful-business-571556e2253b?source=user_profile---------2---------------------------- | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572408.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816151008-20220816181008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.971538 | 746 | 1.710938 | 2 |
– New edition of a popular work from the double bass repertoire
– Includes a revised double bass part by Stefan Schäfer
– Foreword (Cz/Eng/Ger) by Stefan Schäfer
The renowned Czech double bass player, composer, conductor and teacher František Hertl (1906–1973) wrote many concert and teaching pieces for his instrument. An outstanding virtuoso, he had a consummate mastery of his instrument’s expressive potential and sound qualities.
These four pieces for double bass comprising a Prelude, Burlesque, Nocturne and Tarantella were composed in 1968. They have remained very popular among double bass players to the present day while being extremely challenging to play. Our edition adopts the musical text from the Supraphon edition of 1969. The double bass part and the Foreword have been revised by Stefan Schäfer, the solo double bassist of the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra. | <urn:uuid:85cd9424-d2ca-46bc-b77b-6675471af930> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.sheetmusicauthority.com/product/four-pieces-for-double-bass-and-piano/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.949428 | 219 | 1.695313 | 2 |
Like many other sectors in the UK, the storage and transportation sector has been hit hard by Brexit. The most recent Business insights and impact on the UK economy report revealed that the transportation and storage industry was among the lowest of businesses fully trading, at 64%. The combination of Brexit with the recent pandemic has had a huge impact on our sector.
Many of the issues stem from new challenges of additional paperwork, new customs duties and disruptions at UK borders. These supply disorders have affected all aspects of life, including food and general products. The British Frozen Food Federation says that stricter controls on animal and plant products imported in the UK could create significant delays in Britain’s ports.
New shipping charges from the EU require haulage companies to pre-lodge the arrival of the load to the UK before it departs from EU ports. Importers will have to make a full customs declaration when their shipping enters the UK instead of having the leeway of the 175-day window as they did previously.
On top of these supply issues, there is also a shortage of drivers in this industry – this is due to many drivers returning to Europe after Brexit. To combat this, the UK government are offering temporary visas and companies have started offering higher wages. Despite this, the Road Haulage Association (RHA) estimates that there is a shortage of more than 100,000 qualified drivers in the UK.
Delays in Dover
Dover has been a big topic recently, due to the long queues of lorries at various points of the year. Even as recently as January, queues stretched back six miles west of Dover. These long waits are due to additional checks in Dover, and the introduction of a new system means there have been many delays.
These delays are only expected to worsen, as at the end of September 2022, the EU is introducing a new Entry/Exit system, which is an automated IT scheme for registering travellers from non-EU countries.

Real estate investment in Pakistan has long been regarded as the most profitable venture. Those who want to get rich quickly in real estate have several options. However, it is important to remember that this is an extremely competitive business, so you must be at the game’s peak to succeed. Learning and replicating the habits of great property investors can be an extremely beneficial step in the correct path, irrespective of if you are a novice or an experienced investor.
There’s no doubting that putting your hard-earned cash into any business can be a little intimidating, but as someone smart once stated, there is no achievement without sacrifice. Your property investment may suffer if you don’t avoid certain undesirable practices. If you want to be a great real estate investor, you should emulate the traits of those who have come before you and study the stories of those who have succeeded.
Kingdom Valley Islamabad is housing society where you should invest.
Make a Plan
To attain short- and long-term objectives, property investors must treat their work as business persons. It’s smart to create a business plan since it helps investors see the broad picture and keeps them focused on the essential goals instead of any minor obstacles. Investors in property investment can benefit from having a well-thought-out strategy to keep them focused and on track. The plan would contain projected expenditures and income inflows from rents, how many properties to buy, when to repair or upgrade properties, demographic shifts, and any other factors affecting your investment throughout time.
Actions in Place First.
Many things must be done as a property investor. Setting goals and establishing a sense of urgency is essential. If you have a lot to do, divide it into two columns, each labelled “urgent” & “important,” and put each task into one of these two categories. We tend to spend too much time in the essential but not essential sector and not enough time in the essential but not essential quadrant, which will pay off in the long run. Building connections with brokers, agents, and other professionals will be essential to keeping our firm afloat in the long term.
Know the Market
For real estate investors to be successful, they must study the market extensively. This entails keeping abreast of current market conditions and understanding the preferences of prospective homebuyers in certain localities. You need to know what kinds of properties are in demand right now and where you should put your money to get the best return on investment and the highest possible rental income. Just as vital as knowing the client spending tendencies, the unemployed rate, the median earnings, and other aspects that affect the purchasing and selling data is having an in-depth awareness of the target industries and recognising its risks.
Establish a Niche and Focus on It
Many well-known real estate investors have a definite area that they focus on regarding their investing habits. The best property investment advice for newbies is to pick a certain market and stick with it until you’ve developed a niche in it. It would take some time to understand a given sort of estate, community, or area. However, if you want to be successful in the long term, you should concentrate your efforts on a single market rather than dipping your toes in several. Low-income housing, mixed-use buildings, and high-rise condos are all options for real estate investors in Pakistan.
Consider the Consequences
Investors in the share market are bombarded with warnings about the inherent dangers of investing and the possibility of loss. If you’re trying to generate money in the housing market, you’ll be bombarded with ads suggesting the exact opposite: that it’s simple! Prudent investors can mitigate several legal and financial hazards associated with real estate investments.

Contrary to popular belief, property investment is a difficult endeavour that necessitates a high level of knowledge, foresight, and dedication on the part of the investor. Investors profit long-term by working with honesty and respecting collaborators and clients since the business relies on individuals. Establishing a long-term property investment firm involves a combination of expertise, dedication, and the behaviors mentioned above.

By Matt Haig
Many people with anxiety also experience depression, and many people with depression also experience anxiety. In fact, a study published in Jama Network found that “By age 45 years, 85% of participants (737 of 869) with a disorder had accumulated comorbid diagnoses.” The study provides further evidence to the conclusion that a majority of individuals who are diagnosed with one mental illness will eventually be diagnosed with at least two.

The Rothschild Foundation
The Rothschild Foundation was established in 2010 and represents the consolidation of three previous Rothschild charitable trusts. One of these, The Alice Trust, had as its mission the preservation, protection and improvement of Waddesdon Manor in the Vale of Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire for the benefit of the public.
The Foundation continues this commitment, supporting and devoting a considerable portion of its funding to the restoration, preservation, improvement and development of the Manor, its collection and estate.
Waddesdon today represents a centre for excellence in the fields of arts and heritage, conservation and horticulture with a developing focus on sustainable environmental practice. This informs the wider activity of the Foundation which includes support of the cultural sector and environmental causes locally and across the UK.
The Rothschild family have a long tradition of supporting the community local to Waddesdon. This inspires an important part of our work to this day, delivered through our grant funding for the local charity sector.
Underpinning our interest in the arts and humanities, the environment and social welfare is a commitment to increasing access to opportunity and supporting people to realise their potential.

Physical and Mental Health Benefits of Zumba
Did you know that Zumba isn't just helpful for physical health? It's also a great way to increase mental health and a feeling of social and emotional connection with the community.
Physical Health of Zumba
Studies have shown that for adults with diabetes or pre-diabetes, taking a series of regular Zumba classes increased their positive health outcomes overall. There is also increased cardiovascular fitness amongst Zumba participants. However, just as importantly, Zumba has also been shown to increase people's overall levels of intrinsic motivation for long-term change and wellness.
Mental Health Benefits of Zumba
What is intrinsic motivation? Intrinsic motivation is the internal motivation one may have to create change - regardless of any outward rewards or praise for it. When a person has an intrinsic desire to lead a healthy life, it is more likely that they will stick with this plan long-term.
What Does This Mean?
In the study of individuals with diabetes or pre-diabetes who participated in Zumba, a high portion of them showed a genuine desire for change and dedication to long-term health. Why did they have increased long-term motivation? Well, it's impossible to know the exact reasons, but it's likely that Zumba allowed them to connect with their bodies, their minds, and their overall community in a way that encouraged long-term dedication.
Zumba is a great way to encourage your physical health and mental health. Interested in signing up for Zumba classes in Massachusetts? Get in touch with us at FITnesse Dance Center today to talk about enrollment.

Wondering how to paint a boat? Well, when it comes to painting a boat, there are a few things you need to take into consideration before you start. The type of paint, the weather conditions, and the preparation all play a role in how your boat will turn out. In this blog post, we will discuss each of these factors in detail and provide some tips on how to paint your boat like a pro!
You should follow these steps when painting a boat.
1) Choosing The Right Type Of Paint
When you start painting fiberglass boats, it is important to choose the right type of paint. The two most common types of paint are:
Oil-based paint is more durable and resists fading, but it is also more difficult to apply. Water-based paint is easier to apply, but it will not last as long as oil-based paint. When choosing bottom paint, it is also important to consider the type of boat you are painting.
If you are painting a small boat that will be used in freshwater, any type of paint will work. However, if you are painting a large boat that will be used in salt water, it is best to use oil-based paint.
Salt water can damage water-based paint, causing it to flake and peel. Oil-based paint will resist salt water damage and will last longer, making it the best choice for boats that will be used in salt water.
2) Preparing The Surface For Painting
Before painting any surface, it is important to take the time to properly prepare the surface. This will ensure that the paint adheres properly and creates a smooth, even finish.
The first step is to clean the surface with a mild detergent and water. This will remove any dirt, dust, and grease that could prevent the paint from bonding properly. Next, any old paint should be sanded off and any holes or cracks should be filled in.
3) Using A Primer
Once the surface is smooth, it should be primed with a quality primer. This will create an even base for the paint and help to prevent chips and flaking.
Finally, the surface should be allowed to dry completely before starting loose paint. By taking the time to properly prepare the surface, you can create a beautiful and long-lasting finish.
4) The Best Way To Apply The Paint On Boat
Once the surface is prepared, it is time to apply the paint. There are two main ways to apply paint:
Both methods will work, but we recommend using a roller. This will create a smooth, even finish and help to avoid any brush strokes. When painting with a roller, it is important to use light, even strokes. Start at the top of the boat and work your way down, using long, smooth strokes.
Once the painting process is done, it should be allowed to dry completely before adding any additional coats. By taking the time to properly prepare and paint your boat bottom, you can create a beautiful finish that will last for years.
Roll And Tip Method
The roll and tip method is the best way to paint a boat.
When using this method, you will need:
-A roller frame
-A roller sleeve
-Ladder (if painting the hull of a large boat)
First, you will need to fill your paint tray with paint. Next, attach the paint roller sleeve to the frame and dip it into the paint. Once the sleeve is saturated with marine paint, begin rolling it onto the boat. Start at the top of the boat and work your way down, using long, smooth strokes.
Once you have rolled the paint onto the boat, use a brush to tip the paint. This means that you will use the brush to slightly feather the edges of the paint. This will create a smooth, even finish and help to avoid any brush strokes. Finally, allow the paint to dry completely before adding any additional coats.
Tips For Keeping Your Boat Paint Looking Good For Years To Come:
Boats are a big investment, so it’s important to take care of them. Here are some tips for keeping your boat paint looking good for years to come:
1. Keep It Clean
Regular cleaning will help to prevent dirt and grime build-up, which can lead to corrosion and other damage.
2. Protect It From The Elements
Sun, wind, and water can all take their toll on your boat. Use a cover or tarp when possible, and be sure to wax and polish regularly.
3. Monitor The Condition Of The Hull
The hull is the most important part of your boat, so it’s important to keep an eye on its condition. Look for cracks, holes, or other damage and repair them as soon as possible.
4. Store It Properly
When not in use, your boat should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated place. This will help to prevent mildew and other moisture-related problems.
Variety Of Painting Products On The Market:
There are a variety of painting products available on the market, each designed for a specific purpose. For example, primer is used to help paint adhere to surfaces, while sealant is used to protect surfaces from moisture. Enamel is a type of paint that is durable and resistant to scratches, making it ideal for surfaces that will see a lot of wear and tear.
Paint thinner is used to clean brushes and other painting equipment, as well as to remove paint from surfaces. So you should choose the one that is best suited for your needs.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Now that you have your newly painted boat, it is important to know how to take care of it in order to maintain the paint job and keep your boat looking new. Here are some tips on how to do just that.
- One of the most important things to do is to keep your boat clean. That means regular washing with soap and water and drying it afterward.
- You should also avoid using any harsh chemicals or cleaners on your boat as they can damage the paint.
- In addition, it is important to wax your boat regularly in order to protect the paint from the sun and other elements.
- if you hit something while docking or if you rub up against something while out on the water, you do end up with scratches or chips. Be sure to touch them up as soon as possible so that they don’t rust or further damage the paint job.
By following these simple tips, you can help keep your boat’s paint job looking new for many years to come.
The Ending Note:
Paint can really help to improve the look of your boat and protect it from the elements. However, it is important to take the time to properly prepare the surface and apply the paint. Additionally, you should regularly clean and wax your boat to keep the paint looking new.
If you do end up with scratches or chips, be sure to touch them up as soon as possible to prevent further damage. By following these simple tips, you can keep your boat’s paint job looking new for years to come. | <urn:uuid:ed0eae74-5be8-4296-9a3c-6e8fc3189876> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://emozzy.com/how-to-paint-a-boat/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572408.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816151008-20220816181008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.94505 | 1,487 | 1.859375 | 2 |
1879 – The Royal Hospital for Incurables West Hill, Putney, London
View of the proposed new wing including ground plan published in The Building News, July 4th 1879. The Hospital for Incurables was founded in 1854 by the distinguished philanthropist Dr Andrew Reed and moved to its current location, part of the Lord Spencer’s estate in 1863. Florence Nightingale advised on the design and the estate was supported by notable personalities of the day such as Charles Dickens, as well as several distinguished royal patrons.
The building on West Hill in Putney had originally been a hunting lodge (Melrose Lodge) and was purchased with 24 acres of land, on which, until the 1960s, the hospital operated a working farm. Much of the land has now been developed, but retained spacious landscaped gardens for the use of patients and residents. In 1995 the name was changed to the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability.
“Tins building, of which a view and plan are given, is 260ft. in length, and placed at right angles to the present hospital towards the north end. The first stone is to be laid on Monday next, 7th inst., by the Prince of Wales. The accommodation provided upon the ground-floor is shown on the plan — on the basement-floor are the men-servants’ and porters’ living-rooms and dormitories, and extensive storage and wanting apparatus rooms, &c. The upper floors are utilised for patients’ wards, and will provide accommodation for about 100 more inmates, the allowance being about 1 00 superficial feet to each bed, and not less than 1,200 cubic feet of air space. The corridors throughout are to be of fire-proof construction in iron and concrete, finished on the surface with patent Victoria stone and red-tUe borders. The upper floors will be approached by a hydraulic lift as well as spacious staircases, and ample provision against fire will also be made. The new buildings have been planned with a view to further extension at some future time, at the end farthest from the present building and to correspond with the same — so that the new wing may be considered as the central block of what the complete Institution will it is hoped eventually become — the proposed new frontage being towards the high road. The contract has just been taken by Mr. Goodman, builder, of Bamsbury. for the sum of £19,988. The architects are Messrs. Searle, Son and Hayes, of 06, Ludgate-hill, E.C.” | <urn:uuid:9f77c204-0b65-415b-95f8-e4b6bf6c2018> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.archiseek.com/2009/1879-the-royal-hospital-for-incurables-west-hill-putney-london/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571472.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811133823-20220811163823-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.969715 | 530 | 2.109375 | 2 |
The internal control structure is very simple but effective. Transaction processing at Accounts department is the first level of control where all aspects of validating a transaction from budget provision, adequacy of requisition, supporting documentation, authorization and approval, vendor account history etc. are checked before entering a transaction in the Accounting system.
Second level of control is a system of quarterly audit. An independent auditor team thoroughly audits each and every payment and the supporting documentation. The auditor checks each aspect of control from adequacy of requisition, documentation, and authorization and approval perspective at each stage of transaction to ensure propriety of the payments.
Observations / queries raised by the auditor are given back to Accounts Department. Accounts department follows up with the concerned section to properly address auditor’s queries by providing the requisite additional supporting documentation, authorization or corroborating evidence.
Finance Officer monitors the correction of deviations, if any, to update the Finance Committee and Sponsors through Board of Governors.
Finance Officer randomly checks and queries on the payment before payments are prepared for final sign off from the authorized signatories. Such segregation of duties acts as a strong control over financial transactions. Apart from this, there is also a system of random testing of transactions / expenses as and when a need is realized to review the expense pattern in a particular segment of cost. Such reviews are done internally and informally to initiate necessary action, wherever required.
Once a year External Auditors critically review the books of accounts and analyse the receipts and payments as per the applicable auditing standards and statues to ensure proper and timely compliance of applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. External auditors discuss observations and findings with the Accounts team on a regular basis to seek additional information and explanations to satisfy themselves on the financial statements. The Auditors periodically discuss the audit progress with the Finance Officer to address bottlenecks, if any, for the completion of audit as per the plan. Audit adjustments, as advised by the auditors are passed in the books of accounts to the satisfaction of the auditors. External audit is closed with a final debriefing meeting wherein all necessary explanations and justifications are provided to the auditors. Based on auditor’s and Sponsor’s satisfaction, audited accounts are signed off by auditor and the Sponsors. | <urn:uuid:c5f4801a-9387-47d0-a823-72e1f8d2223a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://iqac.ustm.ac.in/financial-audit/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572408.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816151008-20220816181008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.920467 | 469 | 2.03125 | 2 |

I'm wondering how to best go about analyzing this chord progression from the Billy Joel classic, "Vienna".
The song is in Bb-Major.
The first chord is an augmented I chord (I+), which seems strange. Maybe the #5^ is meant to create more brightness, or maybe it's borrowed from the relative minor's leading tone.
The second chord appears to be a German augmented sixth chord of scale degree 6, though it doesn't resolve the way this chord would.
The third chord is a D# fully diminished seventh chord in second inversion, though I don't know where this chord comes from.
Next is the Eb-major chord in second inversion.
Finally, there appears to be a C half diminished seventh chord in second inversion, then the dominant F7 chord, and finally the tonic Bb chord.
I'm trying to figure out how to explain all the strange chords and determine ways they can be analyzed. Any insights would be much appreciated! | <urn:uuid:0ea96f90-c3c1-465c-943f-a53ea45ae988> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://music.stackexchange.com/questions/82284/how-can-one-analyze-this-chord-progression-from-vienna-by-billy-joel | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572408.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816151008-20220816181008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.957323 | 206 | 1.929688 | 2 |

The silhouette of a wolf is visible in a forest of pine trees. During the ignition, the cardboard stencil that defined the shape of the wolf slid out of place, leaving a blurred impression of the animal. The varying shades of black and brown are achieved by covering parts of the paper with stencils or gunpowder fuses that impact the oxidization process during the explosive event. In the spirit of traditional Chinese landscape paintings, this work presents nature in harmony with wildlife undisturbed by human interference.

Peanuts are a quintessential piece of American foods — just look at the gold old peanut butter and jelly sandwich that’s a staple in kids’ lunches. Not only are they delicious, the advantages of peanuts in our diet has long been recognized: they’re rich in fiber, protein, and healthy nut fats. As a plus, they’re widely available in the U.S., and the versatility of the peanut allows it to be usable in every meal of our day.
The peanut butter is strong with this one. Melt some in a cup in the microwave and drizzle it on oatmeal or yogurt. A little-known peanut product is peanut flour, a gluten-free and super protein-packed flour that can be used in baked goods like breakfast breads, pastries, or pancakes. Mmmm, warm peanut buttery goodness at breakfast is the best.
Of course the natural choice for lunch is peanut butter and jelly. Have you ever tried grilling this classic sandwich? It can be especially tasty with a little texture from crunchy peanut butter, but a PB ‘n’ J with toasty bread and melty insides is just wonderful. A cousin of this is the famous Elvis favorite, a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich. These are extra delicious with some honey drizzled in, too. Don’t be tempted to eat too many! Too much fatty fried craziness can negate the good peanut benefits you’re aiming for, but man, they’re great as a treat.
Why not snack on some raw or roasted peanuts? One ounce of raw peanuts will contain 7.3 grams of protein and 2.4 grams of fiber, both of which keep you full and energized during the afternoon work day slump. Roasted peanuts come in a bevy of flavors to choose from. Another healthy, fiber-rich option is spooning some peanut butter onto a banana. It’s a little messier than just eating peanuts, but benefits from creamy banana goodness and an extra dose of healthy potassium for your body.
Fun fact: Peanut benefits extend to peanut oil, but peanut allergies don’t. Properly processed and refined peanut oil (so, not unrefined or cold-pressed) has broken down much of the allergy-causing proteins found in peanuts, so even very allergic folks can enjoy most peanut oil recipes! Peanut oil is especially great for pan-frying meats and noodles, and is a delectable ingredient in cooking many Thai foods. Try some pan-fried noodles with salmon tonight! | <urn:uuid:5e4751ba-b849-4b54-b571-8bd8e823ced0> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://eatinoc.com/2018/06/27/how-to-include-the-mighty-peanut-in-every-meal/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571472.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811133823-20220811163823-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.92995 | 542 | 2.171875 | 2 |

Organizing a room helps to make it comfortable and attractive to occupy. Small rooms are tricky to design, decorate and outfit since everything added takes up space. With a few simple décors, furniture, and paint ideas, you can make a compact room look and feel bigger. Here are several interior design-inspired tips and tricks you can use to make your room appear more spacious.
Adding mirrors is a great way to make your living space look more open and roomier. By angling the mirrors correctly, you can create the optical illusion of a spacious room. The proper placement of reflective surfaces helps produce and increase visual depth or height.
Mirrors can also reflect the artificial and natural light that brightens up your living space. Placing the mirror next to a window ensures it reflects light entering from the outside world. Other alternative placement options include having mirrored cabinet doors or adding mirrors to glass table tops and bare walls.
Utilize Light and Neutral Colors
Color has an immense impact on the overall outlook of a room. You can use neutral shades of color to make the room seem expansive. Dark color palettes tend to make rooms appear confined by absorbing light. Having a lightly shaded wall helps optimize the effect of natural light as it acts as a reflective surface.
Advisably use neutral-colored textiles and furniture to match your already lightly colored walls. Contrasting colors often break up a living space making it seem less spacious. Neutral colors like beige, off-white, and light grey also add some calmness and sophistication to a room.
Clean and Clear the Clutter
Most untidy and disorderly rooms tend to feel cramped up. Small spaces tend to clutter up quickly and require regular cleaning and organizing. Neatly arranging items or putting them out of sight ensures the space in view is open and orderly.
When organizing stuff in a small area, it is natural to use the available space optimally. Having too many items close to pathways increases the chances of bumping into them. Pushing or grouping pieces of furniture on one side of the room ensures movement is unhindered.
Utilize the Vertical and Horizontal Space
Proper vertical and horizontal space is vital when organizing a room with small floor space. The vertical space includes the space between the floor and ceiling. Arranging items on built-in vertical shelves are ideal for small rooms that save on many floor spaces.
In-swinging doors tend to take up plenty of valuable living space. An excellent alternative that will impart a modern-urban style is adding sliding barn doors. We at Barndoorz offer a variety of classic barn doors that also help save up on horizontal living space.
It is advisable to follow a minimalistic approach when accessorizing a small room. Try to have only the bare essentials when organizing a confined room. Having a few large items instead of numerous scattered pieces is essential to a minimalistic lifestyle.
Interiors can appear more spacious with proper coloring techniques, clutter clearing, item organization, and creative mirror placement.

In wedding photography, the main focus is on the wedding couple. After all, the whole event revolves around these two people. But still, all the decorations, flowers, catering, and other things also carry a lot of importance because they surround the wedding couple.
For the wedding couple, this event is one of the most crucial moments in their life. This means that everything needs to be perfect, including the photos. There are a lot of important moments on this day that needs to be captured. All of this can be pressuring for the photographer.
Wedding photography is one of the most challenging types of photography. But did you know that there are different types of wedding photography? If you are looking to get into wedding photography, you need to know all the options available.
Wedding photography often incorporates conventional photography methods. This means lots of posed shots with the wedding couple, their families, cutting the cake, toasting, and so on. All these little moments have been happening at weddings for years. The best way to make shots is if the photographer and the couple pre-arrange everything.
It’s best to prepare the wedding couple and tell them what you expect. Of course, some shots can be discussed before the wedding, but they aren’t always ideal. This means that the photographer is often required to direct the people on the spot to take a good shot.
The photographer needs to learn how to command the situation. This way, the photos will be much better. After all, you need to organize all the people that are in the shot.
Portraits can be some of the most beautiful shots, and this is especially true for wedding photography. Capturing the happiness of the couple or the stunning beauty of the bride can make for some memorable portraits. Portraits also have a formal note to them as the photographer also has to direct all the subjects and make them pose properly.
Portrait shots display a lot of emotion, and in a lot of cases, portrait photos are the ones that end up on the wall. Portraits are also used to capture important moments during the wedding. These are moments when the couple is sitting with parents, when they enter the church, the moment after the knot has been tied, etc.
The photojournalistic style is trendy in wedding photography. A lot of beginners start using this style and never really stop even when they become professionals. Photojournalistic photography is mixed together with traditional photography, and the result is somewhere between a documentary and a report.
The photographer takes an informal approach to catch the story. This type of wedding photography requires lots of skills. To master the style, you need to know how to adjust your camera quickly, aim, frame, and discover shooting opportunities in an instant.
Additionally, photographers will sometimes have to use a telephoto camera. This way, they can blend in better and capture important moments from a greater distance.
This type of photography is often used before the actual wedding, but it can be used during as well. This style focuses on the background, lighting, and composition. The wedding couple is often posed in a picturesque setting candidly. This is why many consider this style a blend of photojournalistic and traditional wedding photography.
In a lot of cases, it’s good for a photographer to have landscape photography skills to take good illustrative photos. Additionally, aerial and wide-angle lens skills can also be handy. The photographer is also required to guide the subjects and relax them to catch more spontaneous shots.
Believe it or not, social media photo filters have brought back vintage photography styles. A lot of couples want their wedding to look vintage, and this includes photos as well. People love timeless vintage images, and there is something that draws everyone to them.
A lot of photographers use color distortion filters for photo treatment to turn them into artistic vintage pieces. Along with rustic wedding themes, this type of wedding photography fits in perfectly. It’s generally a good idea to learn this style as it’s becoming really popular.
If you want to keep up with the latest trends and be a modern photographer, you will have to learn aerial photography. However, bear in mind that aerial photography requires additional equipment like a drone, batteries, and a special camera that gets attached to it. It requires additional investments compared to other types of photography.
These shots are fantastic for showing the whole wedding venue, the number of people, the scenery, etc. The composition of the shots is not that important here because they always show something interesting.
As long as you exclude those things that stand out, you will be fine. However, aerial photography can be used indoors as well, like from a staircase or a balcony. Additionally, if the ceiling is high, you can get the drone up inside and capture amazing shots from above.
Do you need wedding photo editing services?
Just like any other type of professional photography, wedding photos also require editing. Many uncontrolled things can happen at a wedding and disrupt your shot. This is why wedding photo editing is necessary. However, it can be challenging to focus on learning how to take photos while also learning to edit.
Luckily, you can outsource photo editing services and instantly get professional results. You can do this for some time until you learn how to retouch images yourself. However, there are a lot of professionals that don’t waste their time on this whatsoever. If you don’t want to do it, you don’t have to.
These are some of the most common wedding photography styles. However, there are a lot more out there. The important thing is to try them all out, see which ones are most popular and, of course, see what you like the most. If you like what you’re doing, all of the obstacles won’t present a problem for you.

If your Android device is not recognized from Windows 10/11, continue reading below. Device manufacturers today have greatly improved the ease of connection between computers and phones to enhance the user experience. Thus, most phones connect easily to a computer using the “plug and play” function.
However, there are some cases where connecting an Android phone to a PC is not possible for various reasons, and the most common problem that many users report is that Windows 10 cannot recognize the Android phone.
In this guide you will find several methods to solve connectivity problems between your Android device (phone or tablet) and Windows 10/11.
How to FIX: Windows 10 Doesn’t Recognize Android Phone/Tablet.
If your Android device is not recognized by Windows 10/11, please follow these simple steps first, before proceeding to the methods below to fix the problem:
- Restart your computer and phone (Android or iPhone) and then try to reconnect them. Rebooting and reconnecting the 2 devices usually fixes the problem.
- Make sure that the contacts on the USB port are not clogged with dirt and that the USB cable is not damaged.
- Try plugging the USB cable into a different USB port on your computer and retest the connection, or use a different USB cable if available.
- Try to connect your Android device to another computer and see if the problem persists.
- Try to connect your Android phone with the computer using another method, such as Bluetooth (if your devices supports it). This may also help you isolate the cause of the problem.
Once you try all the basic steps above and the issue persists, follow the methods below to fix the problem.
- Change USB Connection to File Transfer or MTP.
- Enable USB Debugging on the phone.
- Reinstall the Android phone driver.
- Change the USB cable.
Method 1: Change USB Connection to File Transfer or MTP.
Most Android phones need to be configured to transfer files via USB to connect to the computer. So…
1. After connecting your phone to your PC, slide down the notification pane on your Android phone and see if there is a notification for the USB configuration. If yes, select Transfer Files or MTP and check if your is recognized from Windows.
If you don’t see a such notification for the USB connection, scroll down to the bottom and under the Android System click Tap for more options. *
* Note: Alternatively, navigate to Android Settings > Connected device > USB Configuration.
2. Choose File Transfer or MTP (Media Transfer Protocol), depending on what is displayed on your screen.
3. Now check if your Android phone is recognized by Windows.
Method 2: Enable USB Debugging on Android.
Android USB debugging is a special feature for developers that allows Android devices to fully communicate with the PC so you can use advanced features and easily transfer files.
Since USB debugging is a hidden feature on Android devices, you can enable it using the instructions below.
To enable USB Debugging on Android:
1. Go to Settings on your phone, then scroll down and click System.
2a. Select About phone and then tap Build number seven (7) times until you are prompted to unlock the phone.*
* Note: If you own a Xiaomi phone, tap 7 times at MIUI version.
2b. When prompted, tap to unlock the device. (After that, you will see “You are now a developer” flash at the bottom of the screen).
3a. Now go back to System screen and tap Developer options. *
Note: If you own a Xiaomi phone go to Additional settings > Developer options.
3b. Drag the USB debugging slider to ON to enable it.
3c. Once you see the prompt to allow USB debugging, tap OK. *
* Warning: Turning on USB debugging may make your phone vulnerable to attacks so make sure you’re connected to a trusted computer and turn it off when you finish your job.
Method 3: Reinstall the Android device driver.
The next method to resolve Android device connectivity issues with Windows 10/11, is to uninstall the Android device driver from Device Manager.
1. Press Windows + R keys to load the Run dialog box.
2. Type devmgmt.msc and press Enter to open the device manager.
3a. in the Device Manager window, expand the Portable Devices.*
3b. Right-click on your Android device and select Uninstall device.
* Note: If the phone device is not in Portable devices, expand Other devices to check if it is there.
34 As soon as the driver uninstalled, reboot the PC.
4. Once Windows starts, the driver will automatically reinstall and your Android device will reappear in Device Manager. Now check if Windows can recognize the Android phone.
Method 4: Change the USB cable
I mention changing the USB cable as a separate solution when Windows doesn’t recognize your Android smartphone, because many times some USB cables are not made for connecting your computer with your device or are not compatible with your phone. For example, some Micro Type B cables are only intended for charging purposes and are not suitable for transferring files.
A trip to your nearest technology store to get the right USB cable to connect your computer to your phone has proven to be the trick that fixes this problem most of the time.
That’s it! Which method worked for you?

Mobile applications (apps) offer a novel way to engage children in behavior change, but little is known about content of commercially available apps for this population. We analyzed the content of apps for iPhone/iPad for pediatric weight loss, healthy eating (HE), and physical activity (PA). Fifty-seven apps were downloaded and tested by two independent raters. Apps were coded for: inclusion of the Expert Committee for Pediatric Obesity Prevention's (ECPOP) eight recommended strategies (e.g., set goals) and seven behavioral targets (e.g., do ≥1 h of PA per day), utilization of gaming elements, and general characteristics. Most apps lacked any expert recommendations (n = 35, 61.4 %). The mean number of recommendations among apps that used recommendations was 3.6 ± 2.7 out of 15, 56.1 % (n = 32) apps were classified as games, and mean price per app was $1.05 ± 1.66. Most apps reviewed lacked expert recommendations and could be strengthened by addition of comprehensive information about health behavior change and opportunities for goal setting.

The United States is willing to lift sanctions on North Korea after the country dismantles its nuclear weapons program, the State Department said on Dec. 18, 2018.
North Korea has increasingly protested the sanctions, warning that they could return U.S.-North Korea relations to the tense "exchanges of fire" last year and "block the path to denuclearization on the Korean peninsula forever."
State Department deputy spokesperson Robert Palladino said "the world remains united" in keeping sanctions on the North until its final and fully verified denuclearization.
And as U.S. President Donald Trump has made clear, the spokesman said, "Sanctions relief will follow denuclearization."
"The sooner North Korea denuclearizes, the sooner sanctions can be lifted," he said at a regular press briefing.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un committed to "work toward" complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula when he met with Trump in Singapore in June.
North Korea says it has honored the agreements reached at the summit by demolishing its nuclear testing site and returning the remains of some American soldiers killed in the 1950-53 Korean War.
The U.S., which committed to provide security guarantees to the North, has demanded more denuclearization steps for its promise of major concessions.
Communication between the sides is still ongoing, Palladino said, and the U.S. remains "confident" that the summit agreements will be fulfilled.
Trump has said he expects to have a second summit with Kim in January or February.
Meanwhile, North Korea has evaded sanctions through illegal ship-to-ship transfers of oil and also expanded its missile facilities, according to recent news reports.

Karl Mauch, in full Karl Gottlieb Mauch, (born May 7, 1837, Stetten, Württemberg [Germany]—died April 4, 1875, Stuttgart, Ger.), explorer who made geologic and archaeological discoveries in southern Africa, notably goldfields in Hartley Hills (1867) and the ruins of the ancient city of Zimbabwe.
After an unsatisfying few years as a private tutor, Mauch gave up teaching and hired on with a shipping company. He arrived in South Africa in 1865, found a Swedish patron, and began the first of a long series of journeys into the uncharted interior in May 1866. Though not formally trained in geology, Mauch was a keen observer, noting in his journals geologic and botanical data (including the distribution of the tsetse fly and the elevations of mountains) that have contributed to the paleontology of southern Africa. His charts of the area were the first maps of southeast Africa in the more than 200 years since the Portuguese had undertaken the mapping of Mozambique.
Mauch began the search for the Zimbabwe ruins (which he wrongly believed were those of the ancient biblical city of Ophir, the capital of the Queen of Sheba) and finally sighted and mapped the city in 1871 after a long and trouble-plagued journey. | <urn:uuid:9118f3f5-5aa4-4a0f-9a53-07b3bc362d10> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.britannica.com/biography/Karl-Mauch | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.97079 | 282 | 3.296875 | 3 |
You may not like weeding the gardening or doing housework, but the good news is that they count as exercise. A new study shows you don’t necessarily have to walk 5 blocks or go the gym to stay fit. Keeping your garden and house tidy might be just the recipe if you are trying to get more exercise into your daily routine.
A new study shows that “most of the movements of daily life” count as exercise. Rather than focusing on working out for a specific number of minutes each day, researchers have discovered that every movement we make, from the time we get out of bed to the time we go to sleep, counts as exercise. It’s an entirely new way of thinking about movement – and exercise.
The study was conducted by the University of California, San Diego. Researchers reviewed data from 6.000 women in the United States aged 63 and older who were of good health. They wore fitness trackers and recorded their activity levels for a week. Then a follow-up was conducted within five years. The study showed there are many benefits of maintaining continuous light activity during the day. Those women who stayed on the move throughout the day, for between 5 and 10 hours, showed the greatest cardiovascular benefits. Women who engaged in continuous light activity reduced their risk of stroke or heart failure by as much as 22 percent and the risk of heart attack or death by coronary by up to 42 percent. That is a substantial health benefit.
The light activities the women engaged in included:
- Walking around
- Getting dressed
- Checking the mail
- Pruning the garden
- Doing the dishes
- Folding laundry
- Washing windows
The co-author of the study, Andrea LaCroix, a professor and chief of epidemiology at UCSD said “We traditionally don’t think of those activities as exercise but they involve movement.” That is why this research is such a significant shift in what is considered as exercise; now daily movement will be included.
Researchers concluded, “ for individuals who perform no or little moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, replacing sedentary behavior with light-intensity physical activity reduces the risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality and suggests that “all movement counts” when it comes to coronary heart disease (CHD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention in older women.”
Now we know that changing daily habits can make all the difference. One in four Americans sits for eight hours a day and those sedentary behaviors are bad for the heart. Moving more and sitting less is an important, and healthy, change to make. Here are some suggestions on how to move more, as long as you are physically able to do so:
- Park your car farther away from the store entrance to get in more steps
- Get up and walk around the house every hour
- Walk up and down the driveway, as long as it is not slippery
- Put your favorite books in the other room so you have to get up and walk to get them
- Visit your next door neighbors
- Ask a friend to walk around the block with you each morning
- Move around the house each day, dusting, rearranging pillows, sweeping, etc.
The more you move, the healthier you will be. However, now you know that you can move around enjoying life and keep your heart healthy at the same time.

English Curriculum (Reading and Writing)
Winsham School uses a reading scheme in which the children are able to choose from ability based reading bands. Once a child is a free reader, they have the opportunity to access a variety of fiction and non-fiction books across a range of genres. We encourage children to read these in school and at home.
In Key Stage 2 children undertake regular guided reading. This will either be exploring a longer chapter book to develop an interest in books and a love of reading. Or the children will follow a structured approach. They will have the opportunity to engage with a variety of vocabulary rich texts linked to their learning in another curriculum. There will be 5 tier two words daily as well a comprehension session. We usually alternate each term so this will mean three structured sessions and three longer chapter books.
English is taught following the National Curriculum programme of study. We use an approach that is based on the use of vocabulary rich texts (real books) and the children engaging in a range of short burst writes leading to a finished product. This allows children to develop their vocabulary, grammar and punctuation skills as well as experiencing a variety of texts throughout the school year. Our English lessons include discrete guided reading, spelling and grammar sessions. Additional time is given to handwriting, individual reading, and the listening to and reading of stories, poems or non-fiction books. | <urn:uuid:9dda507e-e45d-4fce-948d-83896aff6631> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.winshamprimaryschool.co.uk/1585/english-curriculum-reading-and-writing | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.959341 | 289 | 3.65625 | 4 |
Where the words come from
If you speak fluently two languages that means you are bilingual. Speaking the second language brings a lot of benefits and makes some of your cognitive functions more developed than those at monolingual people. For example, you probably have a better attention span and can multitask better. Among the murmurs or in a noisy room you are most likely to be the one being able to distinguish speech. Also, because of the cultural and social opportunities, it is very probable that you are open-minded (unless you are closed-minded by conviction, then it doesn't really matter which and how many languages you speak). The truth is that:
You can never understand one language until you understand at least two. G. Willans
Also, if you are one of the lucky polyglots there is a chance that you are an immigrant by choice or by force, and that your original mother tongue is struggling with space inside your head.
I don't know if I can be considered trilingual but, apart from my mother tongue I have working proficiency in the other two languages. I think and write in English, with my family and childhood friends I speak Serbian, Croatian, Montenegrin and Macedonian (which can be considered as one language but the political climate in Balkans needed this strict distinction among otherwise completely mutually interchangeable languages). All my daily conversations and chit-chats are spoken in Portuguese, news I receive is communicated in Portuguese and most of my new relationships are built in this language.
Sometimes I wonder if my Serbian friends suddenly learned Portuguese would we have the same conversations as we do now; if I spoke English with my parents would we have completely different topics, would my mother still be telling dirty jokes we all know but still laugh until belly ache… And if I could speak Serbian at work, would I sound more mature. I wonder if I am a different person when I speak different languages, but I guess I already know the answer to that.
There is this strange sensation that I have different age depending on the language I speak as they too need time to mature within us. In Serbian, I am fully equipped grown-up person, in English, I am getting serious but not too much and in Portuguese, I am still just a playful teenager.
Speaking many languages can be a struggle, but I love the possibility to express myself in three languages, to discover new words for feelings I didn't know I felt and the sweet pain of sharing emotions that only have a name in one of the languages. In my head these three perfectly blend, I can easily write my notes in all three combined (and understand it), my thoughts do the same but when I need to focus on only one I miss the words from the others and I feel incomplete. How it's possible that having more can make you feel like you are less.
It is strange that every time I go back to Serbian it feels like entering the room where I still need to learn its proportions, as for some time I feel like standing in the middle of it but not being able to understand its size and how far are the walls. I feel dizzy and foolish that it takes seconds to recall names of the things that just a few years ago I didn't even know how it sounded in other languages. But Serbian is coming from my soul, from the essence of who I am and it is easy to reconnect, it takes just a familiar smell or voice to switch inside me and turn me into loud Balkan girl, fully proficient.
English comes from my head, it is the rational part of me — part of my academic life and almost all of my professional life happened in English, it is the cold reason.
With Portuguese it's different. I never took classes of Portuguese, I learned it by speaking… and sometimes I surprise myself by the phrases I say out loud and wonder where did that come from. Because Portuguese, this Latin, romantic language speaks to my heart and when I talk Portuguese it's like breathing, and the less I think about what I want to say and how it sounds, the more articulated and harmonious it becomes. I fell in love with the language and I learned it by eating delicious food, by drinking the most amazing wine and kissing with strangers (two kisses in the cheek is how Portuguese people greet everyone, in case of doubt). Portuguese comes from the heart.
So, you see language can define territory or a group of people but it comes from a place within us. | <urn:uuid:4189f9ed-5e85-47e8-a9ee-66041eda5785> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://snezana-djurisic.medium.com/where-the-words-come-from-86e3f35a7561?source=user_profile---------7---------------------------- | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572408.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816151008-20220816181008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.974225 | 910 | 2.515625 | 3 |

Integrated Information Literacy Assessment using ePortfolios
ePortfolios continue to gain strength in higher education as a viable and relatively quick method for assessment of student work. Miami University recently implemented Chalk & Wire as its ePortfolio system for the entire campus system of 21,000 undergraduates and 2,000 graduate students. Numerous programs and departments have embraced assessment using ePortfolios. One of the earlier adopters was the Honors Program, with a philosophy that focuses on student development in seven outcome areas (URL). Students create ePortfolios that demonstrate their growth in each outcome during the school year, and these ePortfolios are assessed by program staff and affiliated faculty. The libraries have partnered with the Honors Program to utilize ePortfolios for the assessment of information literacy skills. Artifacts from three of the seven Honors Program outcomes (communication, inquiry, and critical/integrative thinking) are automatically forwarded to a team of librarians that assess the work using the Information Literacy rubric developed by the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U). These artifacts are the same that are submitted to the honors program, and are tailored for our purposes. This poster will further explain the project, detail the results from initial assessments, and expand on how the data was used to enhance information literacy concepts in the Honors Program curriculum. Furthermore, the poster will describe future implications for the project, including the feasibility of expanding the program to additional departments. | <urn:uuid:529a1e38-c042-492f-81a5-e5e91035944e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://sc.lib.miamioh.edu/xmlui/handle/2374.MIA/5234 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572408.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816151008-20220816181008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.945702 | 297 | 2.53125 | 3 |

Have questions about coming to the ER? Here you’ll find some of our most frequently asked questions.
When should I go to the emergency room?
If you’re experiencing a life-threatening condition and need immediate medical care, it’s time to go to the emergency room.
Symptoms that should raise a red flag include:
- Broken bones
- Chest pain and difficulty breathing
- Fever in an infant (under 3 months old)
- Heavy bleeding that can’t be controlled
- Issues with pregnancy
- Loss of consciousness
- Moderate to severe burns
- Seizures and fainting
- Serious fractures

What emergency room is closest to me?
When should I call 911?
Call 911 immediately if you experience:
- Shortness of breath
- Symptoms of a stroke
- Symptoms of a heart attack
- A life- or limb-threatening injury
These conditions are extremely time-sensitive and require immediate care. If you need immediate attention or aren’t able to drive, call 911.
Can I walk in or do I need an appointment?
Our ERs are walk-in only, which means appointments can’t be made ahead of time. While we’ll do our best to have you seen as quickly as possible, those who are the sickest or most injured and require immediate care may be seen ahead of you.
If you need medical care that doesn’t require treatment at an Emergency Department, our walk-in Convenient Care clinics offer fast, after-hours care and are open 7 days a week. Learn more about Convenient Care locations.
What should I bring with me?
Just bring yourself — no need for anything else. However, if you do have the following items, it may help get you in and out faster:
- A list of your current medications
- Personal identification
- Your copay
- Your health insurance cards
- A list of medication allergies
- Any test results related to your condition
- Your regular doctor’s contact information
What age patients do you see?
We see patients of all ages, from infants to older adults. We’re open every day, around the clock, and provide medical care for those who are severely sick or injured. If you have a life-threatening illness or injury, call 911 or head to the emergency room.
If you aren’t in immediate danger but need help more quickly than you can get an appointment with your primary care doctor, consider visiting one of our 24 Convenient Care locations. You can even check wait times online and reserve your spot. Find urgent care locations.
Is my insurance accepted?
When you’re hurt or not feeling well, money should be your last concern. Our hospital emergency rooms accept most insurance plans and are always adding new ones. If you’re uninsured, we’ll work with you based on your financial situation.
Get more information about insurance accepted.
Are visitors allowed in the treatment area?

(NaturalNews) According to a 2005 article in the medical journal JAMA, male doctors are 70 percent more likely to kill themselves than other male professionals. Female doctors are an astonishing 250 to 400 percent more likely to take their lives than their non-doctor counterparts.
Why do U.S. doctors kill themselves at such an astonishingly high rate? While no one cause is obviously to blame, concerned observers are increasingly pointing the finger at a medical system that, from day one, fails to support or actively undermines students and doctors who may be struggling with mental illness.
Show no weakness
According to Pamela Wible, a Eugene, Oregon, family practitioner who researches and writes about the phenomenon of doctor suicide, an estimated 400 U.S. doctors kill themselves each year. That’s approximately the size of the average graduating medical school class.
If all of those doctors were general practitioners with an average caseload of 2,300 patients, that would mean a million people’s doctors killing themselves each year.
And according to Wible, the true number of doctor suicides is probably much higher. That’s because, culturally, doctors tend to cover up suicides by their colleagues, even going so far as to pressure coroners to classify clear suicides as “unplanned” deaths instead.
“Accidental overdoses?” Wible said. “You’ve got to be kidding me. Doctors calculate doses for a living.”
In addition to attempting suicide more often, doctors are also more likely to be successful: Unlike lay people, doctors have expert knowledge of anatomy and easy access to lethal drugs.
But why are U.S. doctors killing themselves? Among the theories suggested are: growing pressures of modern medical practice (including “assembly-line medicine,” conflict with insurance companies, fear of malpractice, and a baffling and ever-changing regulatory framework and body of medical-scientific knowledge), financial pressures exacerbated by debt in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and a medical culture that encourages doctors to suppress their emotions and hide their troubles.
“In general, we’re in a profession that will shun you if you show weakness or suffering in any way,” Wible said.
Wible notes that medical school professors regularly teach students to set aside their emotions in order to be better doctors, even if they are dealing with tragic situations.
Studies have shown that medical students struggling with mental health problems rarely feel able to ask for help. According to one study, only 22 percent of depressed medical students had sought therapy. Only 42 percent of those with suicidal thoughts got any treatment.
Instead of therapy, many doctors seem to turn to drugs and alcohol. While the rate of substance abuse is about 9 percent among the general U.S. population, among doctors it may be as high as 15 percent.
In one article, Wible wrote of a medical school professor who told his entire class that, if they ever killed themselves, they should be sure to do it properly — and then proceeded to spell out the exact techniques they should use.
Afraid to ask for help
To make matters worse, doctors who admit to having mental health or substance abuse problems are regularly required to participate in a physicians health program (PHP), a type of program designed in the 1970s. PHPs regularly require doctors — even those without substance problems — to attend treatment programs based on the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous, one of the least effective addiction-treatment methodologies known.
This is standard policy by many state medical boards, even for doctors who are already receiving treatment. This heavy-handed, one-size-fits all approach actually discourages many doctors from seeking help, critics charge.
“Acknowledging a history of mental health or substance abuse treatment triggers a more in-depth inquiry by the medical board,” wrote psychiatrist Robert Bright of the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona. “The lack of distinction between diagnosis and impairment further stigmatizes physicians who seek care and impedes treatment.”

Wikipedia about Wroclaw
Wrocław ("?vr?tsw?f"; Polish pronunciation: "?vr?t?swaf" ( listen), German: Breslau, "b??s?la?"; Latin: Vratislavia) is the largest city in western Poland. It is on the River Oder in the Silesian Lowlands of Central Europe, roughly 350 kilometres (220 mi) from the Baltic Sea to the north and 40 kilometres (25 mi) from the Sudeten Mountains to the south. Wrocław is the historical capital of Silesia and Lower Silesia. Today, it is the capital of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship. At various times in history, it has been part of the Kingdom of Poland, Bohemia, Hungary, the Austrian Empire, Prussia, and Germany. It became part of Poland in 1945, as a result of the border changes after the Second World War. The population of Wrocław in 2014 was 634,487, making it the fourth-largest city in Poland.
Wrocław classified as a global city by GaWC, with the ranking of high sufficiency and living standard. It was among 230 cities in the world in the ranking of the consulting company Mercer - "Best City to Live" in 2015 and the only Polish city in this ranking has been recognized as a city growing at the business center.
In 2016, the city will be the European Capital of Culture and the World Book Capital. Also, Wrocław will host the Theatre Olympics, World Bridge Games and the European Film Awards in 2016, IFLA Annual Conference and World Games in 2017
Lower Silesia - what it is?
Lower Silesia (Polish: Dolny Śląsk; Czech: Dolní Slezsko, Latin: Silesia Inferior; German: Niederschlesien; Silesian German: Niederschläsing; Silesian: Dolny Ślůnsk) is the northwestern part of the historical and geographical region of Silesia; Upper Silesia is to the southeast.
Throughout its history Lower Silesia has been under the control of the medieval Kingdom of Poland, the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Austrian Habsburg Monarchy from 1526. In 1742 nearly all of the region was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia and became part of the German Empire in 1871, except for a small part which formed the southern part of the Lower Silesian Duchy of Nysa and had been incorporated into Austrian Silesia in 1742. After 1945 the main part of the former Prussian Province of Lower Silesia fell to the Republic of Poland, while a smaller part west of the Oder-Neisse line remained within East Germany
Important geographic facts
Poland's territory extends across several geographical regions, between latitudes 49° and 55° N, and longitudes 14° and 25° E. In the north-west is the Baltic seacoast, which extends from the Bay of Pomerania to the Gulf of Gdańsk. This coast is marked by several spits, coastal lakes (former bays that have been cut off from the sea), and dunes. The largely straight coastline is indented by the Szczecin Lagoon, the Bay of Puck, and the Vistula Lagoon. The centre and parts of the north lie within the North European Plain.
Rising above these lowlands is a geographical region comprising the four hilly districts of moraines and moraine-dammed lakes formed during and after the Pleistocene ice age. These lake districts are the Pomeranian Lake District, the Greater Polish Lake District, the Kashubian Lake District, and the Masurian Lake District. The Masurian Lake District is the largest of the four and covers much of north-eastern Poland. The lake districts form part of the Baltic Ridge, a series of moraine belts along the southern shore of the Baltic Sea. | <urn:uuid:3e5b7781-fd40-4e58-a214-6e51d2e64fa1> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://dolce-vita.net.pl/why-you-should-go-to-poland-4/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570692.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807181008-20220807211008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.931754 | 925 | 2.6875 | 3 |
Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation
The Community Action Partnership is part of a coalition of more than 100 organizations partnering on a Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation enterprise supported by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Launched in January 2016, the TRHT enterprise will empower communities to embrace racial healing and uproot conscious and unconscious beliefs in the hierarchy of human value.
The coalition seeks to move the nation beyond dialogues about race and ethnicity to unearthing historic and contemporary patterns that are barriers to success, healing those wounds and creating opportunities for all children – access the full coalition announcement.
The TRHT enterprise is led by Dr. Gail C. Christopher, TRHT Vice President and Senior Advisor to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Dr. Christopher was the keynote speaker at the Partnership's 2016 Annual Convention and this presentation summarizes her message to the Community Action Network.
Community Action Supports the National Day of Racial Healing
On Tuesday, January 17, the Partnership was honored to take part in the first annual National Day of Racial Healing. As a part of our work with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation initiative, Community Action Partnership joined over 130 other organizations who took part in the day’s events. Our various pictures, comments, and social media comments were also featured in the official recap of the event - even our CEO Denise Harlow shared her thoughts on the event – view video.
Racial Equity Resources
As the Community Action Network aims to effectively eradicate the causes and conditions of poverty, we understand that racial inequity rests at the intersection of multiple barriers that impede access to economic security for children, families and communities. The Partnership is pleased to offer new tools and resources to strengthen the Network's capacity to analyze the intersection of race and poverty in the lives of the entire community.

The landscape after a severe meteorite strike
– Join us as a crater detective!
A new online knowledge resource “Large, round structures in Norwegian nature” is developed by researchers at the Dept. of Geosciences.
In Norway, we know of three meteorite craters. In Sweden they have found 8 and in Finland 12. Researchers at the Department of Geosciences have developed a free online mini-course for teachers, pupils and the public: to learn, find, describe and report structures in the Norwegian landscape. Are there more Norwegian craters?
Become an "expert" on craters by taking the mini-course “Large, round structures in Norwegian nature”. A new online knowledge resource developed by researchers at the Department of Geosciences. The picture/illustration is from the introductory part of the course.
As of October 2019, 191 craters have been found on Earth. In Norway, we have three impact craters that can tell of meteorites that once hit the Earth. What minerals and elements did they consist of? How were they reshaped at impact, and did they affect where they struck?
Those interested can learn about meteorite craters and impact structures in the online, free and open to all new knowledge resource; “Large, round structures in Norwegian nature”, developed by Henning Dypvik, Thor Thorsen and Svein Olav Krøgli., This resource can be used in the teaching of natural science and geosciences. The resource is available Norwegian.
¬ From the summer of 2020, it will also be included in a learning plan for the Gardnos Meteorite Park (Nesbyen), says Henning Dypvik. Professor at the Department of Geosciences.
Craters are round structures in the landscape
Most of the meteorite impacts have something in common; they often leave round structures in the impact field, bowl-shaped structures that can be several km wide and many 100 meters deep.
Some craters are huge, for example:
For 65.5 million years ago, on the transition between the geological periods of Cretaceous and Paleogene, the dinosaurs died out. From this time period, evidence of a meteorite impact has been found: The Chicxulub crater in the Gulf of Mexico. This round structure is enormous, 150 km in diameter.
Norway has three known craters
The violent forces that strikes when the meteorite hit the crust, forms the meteorite crater. The largest of Norway's three craters is found on the seabed in the Barents Sea - the Mjølnir crater, 40 km wide and 142 million years old.
- The collision with the seabed has been calculated for energy corresponding with that of 400,000 mega tons of TNT, or an 8.3 earthquake on the Richter's scale.explains.
In addition to Mjølnir we have the Gardnos structure at Nesbyen in Hallingdal around 546 million years old. Norway's oldest crater. . The Norway's last discovered crater, the Ritland crater in Hjelmeland municipality, Rogaland, 2.7 kilometers wide and around 500 million years old.
Are there more?
Professor Dypvik and co-workers are pioneers in research on Norwegian meteorite craters, and are very interested in finding out if there are other craters around Norway's rural areas.
The last module in the web course describes what to look for when examining more closely a circular structure you have found in the landscape.
The knowledge resource consists of 5 interactive modules, with films, facts and questions. Points are given along the way. As a pupil it is popular that after completing the course you will get a diploma. The course takes about an hour to complete.
Development of the knowledge resource has been done in collaboration with Cerpus AS, and has received support from the Akademiaavtalen.

Every company needs to reach an online audience. This is achieved utilizing different marketing campaigns, including article marketing and search engine optimization. Agile companies also promote their products and services using social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. With a combination of applying ideas presented here and general good business acumen, you can make social media elevate your company.
Whether you are writing a blog post title, preparing a tweet, or thinking of a Facebook post, create titles that are interesting, and make readers unable to resist clicking to your site or blog. When headlines or titles draw readers in to the point that they want to read more, you are more likely to entice more people to where you want them to go.
Be wary of hiring a social media marketing company. A lot of these firms actually conduct deceitful practices, so they can con business owners that are not familiar with Internet marketing. Businesses use myriads of fake social media accounts that they use bots to build. Criminals have found ways to defraud marketing customers while making it look as though they are doing a good job.
Invite all of your friends to your social media pages. Whether they’re loyal customers, potential customers or have no chance at all of ever buying from you, it’s a good idea to have a large network. The reasoning here is that your page is going to be advertised on their profile as long as they’re in your network.
Regardless of it’s general form and purpose, one facet your social media campaign must include is habitual rapid and professional response to all comments, inquiries and reviews. This can make your or break you in social media marketing. You especially need to be sure to respond to any comments or reviews that are negative or attacking. Ignoring complaints and suggestions could compromise your brand’s integrity in the eyes of your customers. At the same time, a prompt and appropriate response could actually turn the comment into something positive.
To get started may be a tough road, but it will become easier in time. With social media marketing, the potential to gain exposure for your business is limitless. It just takes some commitment and some help from experienced people. | <urn:uuid:3c7e7ad0-3a1d-4ca0-a524-1a85089e84a4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://imfoxtasticideas.com/wonderful-tips-to-help-you-with-your-social-media-marketing-plan/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572408.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816151008-20220816181008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.952865 | 445 | 1.585938 | 2 |
274-mile long Ohio River Recreational Trail
The 274-mile long Ohio River Recreational Trail will receive planning assistance from the National Park Service from the Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program (press release attached).
“This is outstanding news!” according to David Wicks, co-director of the Ohio River Recreational Trail initiative. “The National Park Service has tremendous experience in guiding the development of water trails throughout the country, and to receive planning assistance from them is quite an honor.” The Ohio River Recreational Trail, ORRT, starts at Portsmouth, Ohio and ends in West Point, Kentucky, with Cincinnati as the halfway point.
“One of our goals is to create the resources people need to explore and enjoy the Ohio River valley, its beauty, towns, history and people”, stated Brewster Rhoads, trail co-director. “This award will help us create a trail that will ultimately be recognized by the National Park Service as a National Water Trail.” The ORRT will be a focal point in connecting with other National Park Service designated National Water Trails in the Ohio River basin.
The National Park Service Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program recipients are selected following a competitive process. Only eight projects will receive assistance this year in the southeastern US. “Unique to the Ohio River Recreational Trail project is the multi-state focus of this trail,” commented Russel Clark, Landscape Architect with the National Park Service. “There are three states involved in this project, Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. As such, we will have two National Park Service offices working on this project, one in Ohio and one in Kentucky.” The National Park Service will provide expert consultation to help spur local recreation, conservation and economic development opportunities.
The trail will be useable from both land and water and will be supported by an on-line digital guide developed by Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana Regional Council of Governments. The digital guide will contain the information and resources needed for either land-based or water-based tourism. The guide will provide details about the Ohio River such as marinas, locks and dams, weather and water condition information, as well as information on hiking and bicycling trails located along the river. In addition, it will have links to river community websites and social media pages where local points of interest and amenities including lodging, restaurants and shops can be posted.
The second annual Ohio River Recreational canoe paddle will be held again in early summer of 2020. | <urn:uuid:5b8fcd47-2fae-40bf-a6c7-bc2337bc571e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.953wiki.com/news/local-news/ohio-river-recreational-trail-initiative-receives-national-park-service-technical-assistance-award/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.943937 | 515 | 1.929688 | 2 |

When first looking to raise funds for their construction-tech startup in 2017, Ben Huh and Michael Yarne steered clear of investors from the industry they were hoping to shake up. Instead, the founders of Social Construct went the traditional venture route, believing that outsider money would let them be bolder.
“They [venture capitalists] don’t get worried when you quack or when you squeal or when you fly,” said Huh, CEO of the firm and the former head of meme empire I Can Has Cheezburger? “They’re like, ‘Well, should you be doing that? I don’t know.'”
Huh and Yarne caught up with The Real Deal’s Hiten Samtani for an extended conversation about their company and what they hope to do for multifamily construction: make it cheaper, faster, and more predictable, akin to an assembly line.
“We go in and say, ‘Okay, let’s eliminate 99 percent of the variation that has zero value,'” Huh said. “What would that system look like? Can we make a riser that goes straight up and down in a stud bay?”
The reason construction jobs are so expensive, according to Yarne, is that subcontractors price uncertainty into their labor estimates given that a job site is such an unpredictable, messy environment. Making it more predictable through technology, he argued, could provide some cost relief to developers, and make an opaque business a lot more accessible.

Here you control a leukocyte, which has its home, the human body, invaded by a virus, which multiplies itself every moment. It is up to you to collect red blood cells and touch the DNA to complete the stages and defeat the viruses.
The game is typically a puzzle, with several obstacles to solve. Here you can get through trial and error, with an increase in the degree of challenges at each stage. The soundtrack consists of only one song at the moment and is even cool, but it gets annoying after several repetitions. The gameplay consists only of moving the leukocyte in the direction you want and controlling its speed, not only to avoid attacks by viruses but also to avoid falling from platforms or attacks by other foreign bodies.
The full version is expected to be released in the spring of 2021. Check out the gameplay by clicking here and download the demo by clicking on the link below:

Apache HTTP Server is an open source HTTP web server for UNIX-like systems (BSD, Linux, and UNIX), Microsoft Windows, and other platforms.
DreamHost Apache version
In the past, one could determine information about the web server from the HTTP response headers through the Server header. However, for security reasons, it was decided to set ServerTokens to "Prod" and as a result, the value of this header only returns Apache. It cannot be modified using an .htaccess file.
For example, if you run this command now, the only response is Apache:
[server]$ curl -Is http://example.com | grep Server Server: Apache
To find the version of Apache currently running, run the following:
[server]$ /usr/sbin/apache2 -v
Apache modules for DreamHost
Please note that some of the modules only work if they are enabled via the panel (e.g., Passenger) and some modules depend on what type of server you are on.
If you need the xsendfile module enabled, you must contact support on the Contact Support page. Please be sure to mention on which domain you would like it enabled. Also, if you need the proxy module, that can only be enabled on a VPS or Dedicated Server.

“Marshal your troops, O city of troops, for a siege is laid against us. They will strike Israel’s ruler on the cheek with a rod. But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.” — Micah 5:1-2
Up to this point our study of the Messianic prophecies has revealed that the Messiah would be the answer to Adam and Eve’s sin in the garden. We have seen Him promised to and through the lineage of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We have seen that He would come specifically from the tribe of Jacob and through the family line of King David. We have learned that He would come as a son to a virgin woman and would be no ordinary man. He would be Immanuel (God with us).
Today’s scripture gets very specific. It tells us that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. The marvel in the prophecy is found in God’s providence. You see, Joseph and Mary did not live in Bethlehem. There would be no reason for Joseph to travel with his 9-months-pregnant wife. God stepped into time and space and caused history to move according to His will. He moved Caesar Augustus to request a census of His kingdom at just the right time. Caesar stipulated that the only way the census could be taken properly was to have everyone go back to their town of heritage and be counted. God used the most powerful earthly kingdom of the day to act according to His will.
Do you and I understand that God continues to work in our world in the same way? His providence doesn’t turn on and off. It is always on. He is moving in and among the current kingdoms and governments in our world today to act according to His will. Once we step back for a moment and marvel at what God does to get His will done in a harsh and sinful world, can we take the next step and believe that He can do the same in our daily lives? Do you believe that God has a plan for your life and is working it out as you read this devotion? Do you believe that He can even work through your sinful acts and bad decisions and make good come from them?
This morning I pray that the Lord opens wide our eyes of faith and we find ourselves in awe of His powerful providence over ALL things. | <urn:uuid:7073144f-e25c-4dc0-a995-f34afb7c8561> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://firmlyrooted.church/devotions/121012-daily-devotion-gods-providence-foretold/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571472.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811133823-20220811163823-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.97517 | 536 | 1.539063 | 2 |
If you are a Canadian, you can find out the laws governing travel to China by consulting a lawyer or the nearest Chinese embassy. While Chinese authorities rarely disclose their list of banned entities and individuals, they do have strict policies on political protests. Travel to China with a Chinese passport is also prohibited if you are associated with these entities. There are several ways to get around such restrictions. The following are some of the most common ones.
Before traveling to China, it is essential to have a health clearance. The rules for quarantine differ by country, but for U.S. citizens, quarantine is 14 days in the high-risk areas. The rules for traveling within China without quarantine differ slightly. In the United States, travelers must undergo two PCR tests within 24 hours of departure, and for UK citizens, the last test must be within 12 hours. In addition, travelers must provide a copy of their negative antigen test results at the boarding gate. It is also important to remember that these results can be on paper or electronic, but do not upload them when applying for a Health Declaration Code.
In addition to legal issues, unauthorized political or religious activity can lead to detention and travel restrictions. Although the Chinese constitution guarantees freedom of religion, Chinese government officials are increasingly enforcing censorship of domestic religious activities. For example, the U.S. Mission in China has observed an increase in the number of U.S. citizens arrested and detained for religious proselytizing, distributing religious literature, and participating in unauthorized religious meetings.
While most traditional Chinese medicines are safe, there is a high risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in China. While acupuncture needles are safe, you can still contract a blood-borne disease if they pierce your skin. Avoid touching other people, and use condoms whenever possible. If you’re travelling with a partner who is not certain of your status, consider getting a hepatitis B vaccination.
Although China is a safe country for female travellers, you should still exercise normal precautions. Avoid places with dim lighting and take care of your valuables. Travelling in groups is also recommended. While traveling alone, you may feel more comfortable travelling with a group of female travel companions. As a general rule, the government’s safety policies are not terribly stringent, but there are still some rules that you should follow. When planning a trip to China, take a look at these tips and make sure you’re well prepared.
Depending on your destination, you may be required to undergo a COVID-19 vaccine. This vaccine should be completed at least fourteen days before your trip to China. In addition to the vaccine itself, you will also need to have the relevant vaccinations. It is important to check with the Chinese Embassy or the nearest Chinese consulate about these vaccination requirements. If you’re unsure, check with your doctor if you need additional tests before traveling to China.
Currently, the Chinese government is restricting travel to China during Chinese New Year. This is the single busiest travel period in China, and online travel agencies are banned from selling tour tickets. This zero-Covid policy has political reasons as well as practical ones. The government wants to ensure that its citizens’ health is protected, but the government wants to ensure that everyone is safe. It also wants to prevent foreigners from getting sick. It’s important that you don’t come to China with any type of infection, even if it’s just a cold or the flu.
While Irish citizens can travel to China, they should be aware of the strict entry requirements. Because of the intermittent outbreaks of COVID-19, the Chinese government continues to implement a zero Covid policy. This means that visitors may be subject to strict controls of movement, mandatory and mass testing, and central quarantine. These specific measures are likely to change and advance notice may not be available. You should check with your local Chinese Embassy for updates.
If you are a Canadian citizen, you should check with the Canadian government regarding any restrictions on entry and exit to China. Some countries, such as Saudi Arabia, have put a ban on traveling to China. Some even suspend all flights to China. For this reason, it is best to seek out an expert in the field of travel to China. It is important to remember that visas are not granted for short-term stays, and you should always have a valid work permit before traveling to China. | <urn:uuid:1157247c-cc20-43c0-8b4d-2f3dbff09ca7> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.travelalls.com/how-to-safely-travel-to-china-2/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.949256 | 897 | 1.96875 | 2 |
Tilt Beam MEMS
MEMS Tilt Beams are designed for attachment to structures, on either a vertical or horizontal surface, for the measurement of tilt or differential settlement.
They consist of a highly accurate MEMS sensor housed in a fully sealed enclosure which is mounted on a lightweight rigid GRP beam. This can be mounted onto the structure using special anchors. The GRP beam has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion meaning that thermal affects are minimised.
Both ends of the beam are fixed and when multiple beams are placed end to end, a differential displacement profile of the structure from anchor point to anchor point can be derived.
The design of the beam and end fixings means the beam can easily be cut to any length on site to accommodate any unexpected changes or constraints.
Each unit is individually calibrated to provide the ultimate in system accuracy and repeatability. It can be used in conjunction with a hand-held readout, automatic data acquisition systems such as the GeoLogger G8-Plus or the Wi-SOS 480 Digital Node to provide a wireless monitoring solution. | <urn:uuid:c9721e06-ca94-4bbf-9d7e-5fcffd4fa72b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.geosense.co.uk/products/tilt-beam-mems/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.911012 | 228 | 2.609375 | 3 |

Day of scientific discussion: 7 February 2017
Land subsidence is a complex phenomenon which occurs all around the world. The study and understanding of the phenomenon, its causes and effects, the processes, such as flow, deformation and fracturing are very important in a spectrum of approaches for predicting the consequences and future damages. Meanwhile, numerical simulation is an important and powerful tool to analyse land subsidence and predict the impact of changing conditions. It also serves to understand new processes if the conditions will change. The economical damages caused by land subsidence have brought large monetary losses to cities all around the world. In modern times cities have grown rapidly and likewise have the agricultural and industrial activities. In order to satisfy the new demands for the vital liquid, for which the surface water bodies have not been sufficient, subterranean water has had to be exploited to such an extent that its extraction has outreached groundwater recharge. The main objective of this research is to deeply analyse the principal conditions, associated hazards, parameters and processes that play an important role in the land subsidence phenomenon using numerical simulation. The present work contains several innovations dealing with advances in model concepts in order to investigate land subsidence processes, fracture formation as well as flow and deformation through fractured soils. The present work analysed the flow and soil deformation behaviour due to fast water infiltration and water extraction in faulted aquifers through numerical modeling. For the flow a two-phase flow model and for the deformation elasto-plastic models, the Mohr-Coulomb model and the Hardening Soil model, were applied and weakly coupled. Three examples of numerical modeling of two-phase flow as well as soil deformation are presented. The first application is a model of infiltration through a single-layer system. Here the influence of the inclination of the fracture and the inclination of the surface were investigated as well as the soil’s deformation. The second application examined a two-layered system consisting of a stratum with low permeability on its surface and a fracture that allows rapid water flow through the impermeable stratum to the lower stratum with higher permeability. A model concept for fracturing mechanism was also proposed. The third application describes a model concept for fracturing mechanism after groundwater extraction through a well near a highly permeable pre-existing fault. An important finding was to show that not only an inclined fault zone with low permeability could act as a hydrological barrier for the water flow in an aquifer but also an inclined fault zone with high permeability. Also the results show that this barrier effect could be a factor for triggering land subsidence. Another important result of this research was the development of a conceptual model of a mechanism for the generation of fracturing and triggering of land subsidence: fast rain water infiltration through fault zones. | <urn:uuid:829f62c2-ff2e-4fc4-ac15-bff7657c6827> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.tu.berlin/wahyd/forschung/doktoranden-galerie/dr-ing-isaac-martinez | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.950932 | 614 | 2.71875 | 3 |

UNESCO will organize two round table discussions in order to provide a global platform to assess the international landscape facing media actors. Thus, media leaders, journalists, experts and Member States will have an opportunity to analyze the extent to which there is a “crisis of journalism”, and unpack the main driving forces involved. The format of both round tables will generally not be speeches, but television – style discussion and debate with a panel, as well as audience interaction.
Organized in association with the International Programme for the Development of Communication, this colloquium will be held at UNESCO Headquarters within the framework of the La Presse en Liberté week of 22 to 29 March 2017, which includes a series of round tables on topics related to press freedom and an exhibition of original front pages of newspapers’ first editions. The week is co-organized by UNESCO together with the Permanent Delegation of Switzerland to UNESCO and the Permanent Delegation of France to UNESCO.

UNESCO Colloquium “Journalism under fire: challenges of our times” Organised with the support of the International Programme for the Development of Communication and the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA) UNESCO Headquarters, 23 March 2017, ROOM X Background Traditionally, the news media has been the key generator of journalism for societies. But developments of the last decade are changing this picture. Technological, economic and political transformations are inexorably reshaping the communications landscape. Major recent elections and referenda have raised many questions about the quality, impact and credibility of journalism, with global significance. In one view, traditional media is losing its control over the definition of news and its central position as the main source of news for audiences. It is being replaced by decentralized, personalized media technologies. Others argue that traditional news brands remain vital for the generation of original news and reliable information, as well as – at least in theory – constituting a guarantee of credibility. There is also a view that welcomes a broadening of media pluralism through the advent of social media, and sees this as an alternative to mainstream journalism that too often falls short of professional standards. However, another perspective regrets the potential that social media provides for audiences to live in closed information cocoons as well as an apparent inability to distinguish truth from fabrications. A further debate is the extent to which content on social media platforms should be edited by the platforms, in order to avoid the circulation of “fake news”, or whether this would open the door to potential censorship and controversy over who judges veracity and how. Finding ways through these issues is of great importance not only for media professionals, but also for societies in general, and governments in particular, since modern societies cannot function and develop without free, independent and professional journalism, based on principles such as fact checking, reflecting a plurality of informed opinions, protecting the confidentiality of media sources, and ensuring journalists’ safety. Aims and structure: The knowledge generated by the deliberations, will give all stakeholders a greater appreciation of the issues and ideas for ways forward. These insights will particularly contribute to the 2017 of the UNESCO flagship series World Trends in Freedom of Expression and Media Development. In the framework of the colloquium, UNESCO will organize two round table discussion in order to provide a global platform to assess the international landscape facing media actors. Thus, media leaders, journalists, experts and Member States will have an opportunity to analyze the extent to which there is a “crisis of journalism”, and unpack the main driving forces involved. The format of both round tables will generally not be speeches, but television-style discussion and debate with a panel, as well as audience interaction. A changing environment: underlying themes to be discussed The morning discussion will gather prominent media experts, social scientists and journalists to discuss developments related to change context and the challenges facing the media. It will examine the reasons that some audiences reject quality journalism, choosing unreliable sources instead. Also interrogated will be why some media falls short of professional standards and itself promotes unverified information for particular agendas. The speakers will also put forward ideas of what media professionals could do to regain audience trust. In particular, the following themes will be examined: 1. identity politics and representative democracy; 2. polarization and its impact on communications; 3. quality journalism as a public good; 4. commercial pressures and the sustainability problems of traditional media 5. credibility, information and sustainable development The afternoon discussion will be opened by the UNESCO Director General and will gather prominent journalists, as well as representatives of media development organizations and of social media networks, to discuss the extent to new players, including active audiences for good and ill, impact on global and national media and news agendas. It will address such issues as social network companies, how algorithms affect news on their networks and the issue of audience fragmentation and information bubbles. In particular, the following themes will be examined: 1. social network companies and producers of “fake news” 2. algorithmic personalization and spam “bots” 3. media education and information literacy programs Participants and stakeholders – up to 250 participants Representatives of UNESCO Member States Representatives of news organizations Civil Society, academia & professional associations The colloquium will be held at UNESCO Headquarters within the framework of the La Presse en Liberté week of 22 to 29 March 2017, which includes a series of round tables on topics related to press freedom related and an exhibition of original front pages of newspapers’ first editions. It is coorganized by UNESCO together with the Permanent Delegation of Switzerland to UNESCO and the Permanent Delegation of France to UNESCO, with the support of the IPDC.

Once posted to a ship, members of the Royal Australian Navy can go long periods of time before returning home.
But Seaman Jordan Moscatt, a Boatswain’s Mate posted to HMAS Adelaide, had the unique opportunity to return home as part of the Australian Defence Force's (ADF) support to the NSW Government’s response to flooding.
Seaman Moscatt hails from Taree, a small town on the north coast of New South Wales, part of a community of towns that were affected by heavy rainfall.
She conducted risk damage assessments and cleared up debris and damaged items from residents’ homes.
“It can be challenging seeing the locals devastated with the damage to their homes and communities,” Seaman Moscatt said.
“When we first arrived, we began door knocking in high risk areas and alerting residents to evacuation sites.
“Once residents started returning to their homes we began helping with clean-up, and the towns have been so grateful the State Emergency Services and ADF can be here to help them.”
In spite of the challenges of witnessing the effect of the floods on her community, she found the experience to be fulfilling.
“It’s been really rewarding being able to help out the local communities affected, personally because it’s so close to my hometown Taree,” Seaman Moscatt said.
“It’s really nice knowing I can help out when I know my family back home are in the same boat.
“All the initial training we go through [when entering Defence] develops our leadership training and team building. It comes together to prepare us for this.” | <urn:uuid:289703ec-c8f4-4d25-a90b-f220a9b37f01> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://news.defence.gov.au/people/seaman-returns-floods-home | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.958098 | 358 | 1.671875 | 2 |

A VPN permits you to easily turn between virtual spots, presenting you a fuller internet experience, unfettered by censorship or additional firewall constraints. Finding your public IP address is easy. This approach makes it possible to achieve a Internet protocol address via any kind of site the VPN program gives. Online Individual Networks are virtually all often utilized by corporations to patrol sensitive info. Another very well liked reason that folks connect to a VPN should be to gain access to geo-blocked content. SaferVPN retains a rigorous “No Logs” policy, so that none of your private info is being tracked, gathered or discovered simply by any person – possibly us.
Actually whenever both equally ceases of the interconnection contain broadband in that case at this time there might well be simply no additional expense to becoming a member of the two alongside one another because a VPN uses the net to help to make the connection. There vary types of VPNs. Check with the network kurator to see what type is in use such while PPTP then simply, at the Connect VPN Connection display screen, choose Homes. Everybody loves a freebie which means a great deal of people slowing servers and delaying joints. In Windows XP, you can connect and disconnect by opening the Network Internet access home window and right-clicking the VPN connection. A person with gain access to to the stream of data your ISP, your federal, a man sniffing at the Wifi visitors in the air unicure remedies pvt ltd. port, etc . can easily snoop on your own traffic.
The internet dwelling address with this machine is situated for, and that’s what we will type in to the field. The DNS domain brand system is usually the internet’s phone book, equating textbased URLs with their appropriate IP addresses. twenty The service provider must always be qualified to disambiguate overlapping details in the multiple customers’ PPVPNs. The main advantages of by using a VPN may be the cost efficiency this provides in providing a single private network in comparability to applying separate rented lines which could burn the pockets of corporate businesses. As explained earlier, a VPN connection has two tunnels to assist ensure on the internet in circumstance among the VPN internet connections turns into inaccessible. When you connect to a storage space which can be powered by a VPN Provider VPN Server, an encrypted interconnection will become used.
VPNs are as well ways to get around censorship in countries that control Net access with an iron fist. Obviously, a secureness catch which usually leaves our authentic IP addresses open for everybody to see beats the goal of VPNs, and the susceptability discovered simply by Perfect Privateness may prove harmful for VPN providers which are not mindful from the weakness. The support is built by multiple gateways worldwide levitra generika schweiz. with gain access to in 30+ countries, 48+ regions. Just about every company will need to inform its employees prior to deploying a VPN so that everyone has learned the advantages and how to gain access to the internet through the private network. A VPN is the closest you can obtain to right anonymity on-line without needing the DURCHGANG network, which bounces your connection around a broadly allocated network of offer relays, fundamentally keeping your net activity in consistent action so nobody can target on that.

OKO.press has already published an interview that Sergey Davidis, the head of the program for providing help to political prisoners of the Russian Memorial, gave to Konrad Wirkowski, the program director of WATCH DOCS. Davidis talks about the repression of Russian human rights defenders, draconian sentences for protesting against the war, and the similarities between the situation in today's Russia, Nazi Germany, and the late USSR. The entire interview is available here.
In 2009, Memorial was awarded the Sakharov Prize by the European Parliament. By the decision of a Moscow court, the association was closed in December 2021, but Memorial members continue to work for human rights in Russia. We also encourage you to visit the virtual exhibition prepared by the European Parliament on the Sakharov Prize in the context of human rights in the world.
This interview was prepared as part of the watchdocstogether.eu project, which is supported by the European Union under the European Parliament's communications grant programme.

The influence of institutional environment in the execution of complex projects for accessing the base of the pyramid: a case study of brazilian utilities services organizations
Keywords:Strategies, Complex Projects, Base of the Pyramid, Institutional Environment, Project Management.
World population shall reach 9 billion by the end of 2050 (United Nations DESA, 2014). The demand for basic services like energy, water and sanitation will increase, particularly for those at the base of pyramid. The challenge for the utilities services organizations in Brazil is how to deal with an ever-changing institutional environment in order to fulfill its social objective in an operational and economic efficiency. Organizations will have to innovate in their strategies to access the base of the pyramid, as they are different from developed market. These innovations will be implemented through projects. Understand the complexities of these projects is fundamental for the strategies’ implementation. This research answered the question “How does the participation of the State in utilities services organizations impact the execution of complex projects created to serve the base of pyramid markets?”. It is based on a multiple case study, with a qualitative and exploratory nature. Two utilities service organizations were selected and data collected based on semi-structured interviews. A software was used for content analysis to analyze the propositions of this study. Complexities dimensions for project execution were identified, the State influence on these projects and organizational strategies. This research contributes to a better understanding of the variants of the institutional elements with an impact on the organizational strategies. It reveals the need for a better understanding and definition of specific business model to attack the market opportunities at the base of pyramid. Our findings may be used by organizations to establish specific strategies for this market.

Part-time training in 20 weekend modules
Eurythmy Massage is an artistic method newly developed by me, based on the application of sound-etheric forces to the physical body of the person concerned. The artistic aspect lies in the fact that the reference to the sound effect is first stimulated by the person performing the eurythmy and then, in the further development, can be grasped by the person himself.
The training takes place in three stages:
1. The basic requirement of Eurythmy Massage is to learn how to use one’s own instrument, especially the physical body. For this purpose, special series of exercises have been developed, e.g. the “warming – up”, which are learned in the training.
2. In the training and differentiated practice of the eurythmic color movements, the tools of Eurythmy Massage are developed. These become the basis for individual handling.
3. Learning the method of transferring the etheric sound forces to the counterpart in the seven steps of the Eurythmy Massage Method forms the basis for the dialogue between the transferring person, the sound being and the receiving person.
In the training the basic elements of Eurythmy Massage are learned. On this basis, the further individual development of the method into practical application is stimulated. | <urn:uuid:33f8bede-04d8-40f3-8e65-03ed89feb2c0> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://unternehmen-eurythmie.ch/en/eurythmy-massage-training/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.940809 | 277 | 1.726563 | 2 |

From time immemorial, a dog has been a friend and protector for humans. However, there are several myths regarding the maintenance of such small animals, which we will consider.
With a small dog, you can walk everywhere. In fact, there are many places where you simply won't be allowed in with your dog. We can mention educational institutions, a cinema, medical institutions, and not every friend will be delighted with your visit with an animal in their arms. Situations reach absurd - some women of fashion, even while in the hospital, hide the dogs under the covers. Other women carry dogs secretly in a bag while in the movies or at school. But this approach is extremely cruel to dogs. After all, animals must comply with their specific regimen - they need time for walks, for eating, for sleeping and resting. But the continuous keeping of the dog with him gives off the usual human egoism. With a small dog, you can go to receptions, to visit, having coordinated such a visit with the owners. Such walks will even be beneficial for the nervous system of the animal. After all, if you do not bring the dog out of the house at all, then in the company of other animals or people, at the exhibition, it may simply fall into shock when faced with unfamiliar smells and noises. Therefore, it is worth carrying the dog with you, while reasonably limiting the places of visits, and do not forget to first teach the dog good manners.
Small dogs don't need training. Indeed, there are no training courses for small breed dogs, although sometimes there are cases when a Yorkie can be taken to training with a Rottweiler. Dogs usually perceive such activities with interest and pleasure, although one should not expect from them forceful actions in critical situations. But as a sound alarm, small dogs can show themselves excellently. It is worth noting that, like all dogs in childhood, small breeds must undergo obedience training in order to formalize the socialization processes. It is necessary to explain to a small six-month-old puppy that the world is not limited to him and the owners, there are other animals and people. Not all of them tolerate ringing barking well, there is a street with its own dangers - road transport, cyclists and others. The puppy must understand that he needs to be patient if he wants to use the toilet, because this can only be done on the grass, then waiting for the owner to clean it up, or in a special place. The dog should not be intimidated by the leash, but take it for granted. Usually, a few trainings by experienced dog handlers are enough to make the dog educated enough to go out. By the way, it was found that the lack of upbringing processes inhibits the intelligence of the animal. So, by training your pet, you not only prepare him for social life, but also make him smarter and more sociable.
The clothes on such dogs are just a whim of their owners, without carrying any practical meaning. Clothing successfully fulfills the function of protection from bad weather in case of rain, strong wind or cold, as well as the function of protecting exhibition wool. After all, it is easier to wash a Yorkie's suit in a few minutes than to wash the dog for a long time and painstakingly, and then dry it, doing this procedure after each walk. So this measure also contributes to the health of the animal. By the way, this approach is also applicable to large breeds. When the dog is young and full of strength, he runs merrily for walks, returning home heated. But in the second half of life, a dog may experience pain in the joints, it will become cold in cold weather. So in such a period of life, do not spare a special vest or overalls for him, and for the most severe cold weather it is even recommended to use a sheepskin coat. Such a wardrobe will allow the dog to live comfortably even regardless of age and concomitant diseases, while avoiding rheumatism, radiculitis and colds.
Small dogs prefer to spend time at home, and they eat mainly from the table. Usually, during the puppy quarantine period, dogs really do with a diaper, the same situation persists for several days after giving birth. For any dog, walking is the greatest pleasure. It was important to feed dogs from the table even when it was difficult for people to find suitable products for a pet, but today there are professional feeds. Therefore, there is no need to show any special concerns in this regard. And many of our products are dangerous for dogs, as they have a completely different enzyme system. For example, sweet biscuits and chocolate can lead to cirrhosis in animals. Dog handlers recommend, even at puppyhood, to "negotiate" with the pet that the owners will not eat from his bowl, and he, in turn, should not encroach on people's plates. Such upbringing will help protect the dog from encroaching on food from the table.
Small dogs do not tolerate travel well. For some reason, it is believed that for them air travel, for example, is unbearable. In fact, these breeds feel as comfortable on the plane as in the car. You don't want to take your dog with you, fearing for its experiences in flight? Then think about the stress she will experience if she remains in the company of strangers, waiting for the owners to return. Yes, and according to the laws of airlines, dogs weighing up to 8 kg together with a transport case can travel inside the plane. Of course, for someone, such a limit is critical - for pugs, whose weight is about 7 kg, there have been cases of sending them into luggage due to a slight overweight. And for Yorkies or Toy, which usually weigh less than 3 kg, all conditions are created for traveling with the family. On the trip they are calm, only you need to walk them well and not overfeed them. It happens that the dog can start to get nervous because of shaking - this situation can be corrected with the help of valerian, but in such situations, people are exposed to significant experiences.
Instead of pampering yourself with dogs, it's better to spend money on something useful, for social needs, for example. This statement is typical of those who themselves do little to charity, but teach many how to spend money correctly. Everyone must decide for himself how to spend the money he earned. Many pedigree dog owners help dog shelters, so why not embellish their pet with a clear conscience? It's just that not everyone publicly talks about their charity work. So, asking this question, think, what have you done for homeless people or animals?
A purebred puppy can be found for a small price. Sites and newspapers are full of such ads. First, the search for a puppy in the newspaper in the neighborhood of real estate and cars is naive in itself. After all, all professional breeders and clubs are united in the appropriate federations, and other individuals act at their own peril and risk, which are often pedigree marriage or sick puppies. Secondly, it must be borne in mind that reproduction of high-quality offspring for any small breed is always a difficult long-term work. To reproduce quality offspring, you need to spend a significant amount of money, starting from the moment of participation in exhibitions, in order to assess the objectivity of the dog. Little mothers give birth to one to three puppies, the whole process from mating through pregnancy to childbirth is extremely difficult for them and for the owners. The delivery itself is usually caesarean, and mothers are given the last bit of strength to feed the puppies. In addition, the federations observe the strictest genetic control, not always even a prize-winner of exhibitions can count on the desired pair. Thus, high-quality healthy puppies simply cannot be cheap, and buying a purebred puppy for a low price almost always implies its deviations either in genetics or in physical characteristics. If you do not want to spend a large amount, take the dog from the receiver better - and you will save money and commit a humane act.
Lonely people give birth to small dogs, they replace their children. A feature of small breeds, such as Yorkshire Terriers, is that they get along well in any family, regardless of their composition. Such dogs are friends with both large dogs and cats. You cannot perceive them as a replacement for any member of the family, these dogs themselves are full members, they have their own everyday life and holidays, their joys and illnesses. Many families have introduced the tradition of celebrating the birthday of their pet, while furry friends come to the celebration with their owners. The girls are given a beautiful wedding ceremony, which, as you know, should be once in the life of every girl. The bride gets a veil and a dress. A dog that has got children is not separated from them forever, organizing family meetings, including for the New Year. So, as in every family, all members are one in joy and sorrow. | <urn:uuid:cf5872a5-b849-4ef9-8e8c-5ad7f933f062> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://en.south-india-tourism.com/3666-little-dogs.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.972169 | 1,873 | 2.453125 | 2 |

Portugal has been an important hub of the land and marine Silk Roads since ancient times, witnessing its historic friendship with China.
China’s blue and white porcelain, which was first shipped to Portugal centuries ago, inspired a fusion of Chinese and local techniques, producing a unique form of art Azulejo. Portuguese custard tarts baked by Chinese pastry chefs have become a new delight for Chinese consumers.
Stories like these reveal the common aspiration of the people for peace, cooperation, openness and win-win results throughout history.
Currently, China-Portugal relations are at the best time in history. The two countries have held frequent high-level exchanges, continuously enhanced political mutual trust, and comprehensively carried out practical cooperation in various fields. Over 300,000 visits are exchanged between the two countries every year.
The year 2019 marks the 40th anniversary of the two countries’ diplomatic ties, and their bilateral relations are facing historic opportunities.
Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa noted that Portugal is willing to take the historic opportunities to actively participate in the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, enhance strategic alignment of the two countries, expand openness and cooperation, and accelerate common development.
He also stressed that Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit to his country would expand the prospect of Portugal-China cooperation and create a brighter future.
Portugal is the final stop of Xi’s Europe and Latin America tour during which his footprints have spanned Eurasia and been left in the banks of the Atlantic Ocean.
Renewing friendships, negotiating cooperation, and advocating for development, Xi expounded on the Chinese persistence in reform and opening up, peace and development, as well as win-win cooperation, and contributed to the building of a community with shared future for mankind. As a result, the Chinese President received wide approval from the international community and attention from global media.
Xi’s visits were regularly broadcasted by local TVs. Spanish King Felipe VI called the Chinese president’s visit to Spain a new and important milestone; President of Argentina Mauricio Macri shared multiple achievements of Xi’s visit to Argentina with his major officials; President of Panama Juan Carlos Varela noted that Panama will stick to the one-China policy and expressed his recognition of Xi’s major proposals such as the building of a community with shared future for mankind.
Portugal’s Cabo da Roca is a cape which forms the westernmost extent of continental Europe. The ancient silk trade once left its mark there. It is believed that today’s friendly and win-win cooperation between China and Portugal will set sail again and usher in new chapters. | <urn:uuid:730d7313-53ed-421e-b442-aec8e9d79bbd> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://daybreak.ng/china-portugal-cooperation-to-set-sail-usher-in-new-chapters/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.825351 | 2,066 | 2.25 | 2 |

The fool is the spirit in search of experience; the mystical cleverness, bereft of reason, that resides within us; the childlike ability to tune into the inner workings of the world. The suitcase represents all the possessions the fool may need. The dog represents the calling of the real world, and the rose by the side of the road represents purity and innocence along with the fool’s appreciation of beauty.
It’s a time of beginnings as the fool steps out on her journey. It’s personal but she wants to draw the world in to share the experience. Spontaneous and innocent perhaps, she steps out into an ordered – albeit chaotic – world, one eager to teach her the ways of this order. The dog barks: she hears echoes of the world she came from, in the distance others make their presence felt, others eager to welcome the fool into the fold.
The shadow of the fool steps into darkness. The deeper elements of her psyche move around and rearrange themselves away from the light. She has reached a turning point on the spiral path of individuation and has begun a journey into self-understanding. Instinct drives the fool into the unknown as the fool’s vision of the future directs the steps she takes. As the fool’s understanding grows much will be revealed. The darkness will still remain; only the power it holds over the fool will wane as enlightenment dawns. | <urn:uuid:794c530c-b172-4796-a31e-7888e0b57c9c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://object82.wordpress.com/page/20/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572408.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816151008-20220816181008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.944593 | 296 | 1.820313 | 2 |

The Beryl Institute defines patient experience as “the sum of all interactions, shaped by an organization’s culture, that influence patient perceptions across the continuum of care.” Technology isn’t always the first thing associated with positive patient experience, but wires and circuits can connect more than devices—they can connect people.
Connecting for care
Patients gave the SONIFI Health platform a 96% satisfaction rating and 79% said they better understood their health condition because of it.
When patients stay more connected to their care, they have a more positive experience. Using an interactive patient engagement solution offers more touchpoints!
Using the in-room TV or a mobile device, patients can see their schedules, their care teams, and they can learn more about their conditions and medications anytime by accessing education materials. Plus, they have more frequent communication with staff using onscreen messages, surveys, and requests.
Technology can be personal and comfortable. It enhances care by giving the patient more autonomy while also ensuring they never feel alone.
How technology helps
One of the biggest benefits of patient engagement technology is the efficiencies it creates. Nurses spend less time on things like assigning education and routing requests for maintenance or housekeeping. This gives them more time for direct patient care. Patient satisfaction is largely influenced by meaningful time with staff.
Nurses rated interactive solution 4+/5 for allowing more time with patients.
When patients can do things like order meals, change the temperature in their rooms, and report flickering lightbulbs without assistance, they feel more in control. When patients can access education any time, they can opt to learn when they feel most alert, re-watch portions, and even review with a family member. Being better informed encourages more communication and more participation in care planning. Patients have a better experience when they are comfortable with what to expect after they leave the care facility and feel confident in how to care for themselves.
It makes business sense
The first goal of every care facility is, of course, to provide quality care. But better patient experience also assists with fiscal responsibility. Patients who have a positive care experience are less stressed and more likely to comply with their wellness plan. Satisfied patients refer others. Unsatisfied patients find other healthcare providers and leave poor reviews.
Reimbursements and profitability directly tie to better patient experience. It truly does matter to all. | <urn:uuid:cf3b80ef-6fe4-4f49-a2d3-62dd75cdb201> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.sonifihealth.com/patient-experience-matters/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.946622 | 499 | 2.171875 | 2 |
Spring has sprung and traditionally this is the time of year when we get ourselves sorted – or at least try to. Yes, we get busy putting our houses, flats, vans etc, in order. A spring clean is about getting rid of old stuff, uncovering things we usually ignore, and starting afresh after hunkering down during the long dark winter. And the idea of a spring clean can be applied to your writing too – here are some ways to get started.
Dust off old ideas
If you’re anything like me, you’ll have all sorts of ideas, half-finished bits of writing, notes, character sketches, and all manner of things stashed on your computer or in notebooks – or both. Now is the time to dig in and dust off all that potential. If you’re searching for ideas or inspiration, you may find something to help. Even if you’ve got a WiP, it may also help you out there. Something you created for another story might actually go quite well in your current one.
Sorting out all the bits of paper and notebooks you’ve tucked away, also gives you a chance to transfer things online, so you can get rid (should you want to) of any stray bits of paper. Or at least know you’ve got them somewhere else in case you lose them!
Out with the old
Now, I don’t like getting rid of an idea or half-baked piece of writing just because it’s old. What I mean here is getting rid of old ways of thinking. Whatever hang-ups you may have about your writing, this time of year can be the perfect opportunity to shake them off (or at least try to). If you’ve been struggling with something, take that metaphorical bull by the horns and… talk to it rationally because we’re not in the habit of animal abuse here. You can still apply this to your writing if you need to though. If, and I mean if, something really isn’t working be it a plotline, a character arc, or even the whole damn WiP itself, it could be the time to ditch it and start again.
Try something new
It’s can be easy to slip into the habit of writing the same kind of thing, over and over. Let this be the time you shake things up and try something different. You could write in a different genre than the one you’re used to. Or you could write in a different format – if you’re usually a long-form person, give flash fiction a go. A born poet? Why not try a screenplay? Always writing fiction? Try some non-fiction (like a blog post. It may just convince you that you’re happy with what you usually write. But you could also find the start of a new beautiful writing friendship.
Freshen up your skills
All writing is learning. Every time you write you’re honing your skills. But there are ways and means to give a bit more thought to sharpen your writing skills. You could use your writing spring clean to get a few books on an area you want to work on. There are also a lot of online courses covering pretty much every aspect of writing. There are even some offline courses or workshops if you have the time to try these out. And there’s tons of free stuff around in blogs, vlogs, and the like. Just remember, of you do decide to shell out, do your research and go with reputable suppliers.
So there are four ideas of how writers can spring clean their writing. What do you think? Do you have any ideas yourself? Please share in the comments. | <urn:uuid:88210f05-0f64-4745-9e0c-a8da0815b29a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://wordlander.com/2022/05/29/a-writers-guide-to-spring-cleaning/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.946469 | 775 | 1.601563 | 2 |

allergic reactions are a serious disease that many Americans face due to an abnormal immune response in the body, which in some cases can lead to death.
An allergic reaction occurs when the immune system reacts to a foreign allergen that is not normally considered harmful. A mild reaction may have minor symptoms such as inflammation, or more severe cases may result in anaphylactic shock. Allergy to certain foods, such as peanuts, is a common allergic reaction affecting a small portion of the population.
Read below to learn about the symptoms and treatments for allergic reactions. You should see a medical expert in serious or life-threatening cases. Anaphylaxis is the most severe result of an allergic reaction and can lead to respiratory failure, causing swelling of the skin.
What are the 4 types of allergic reactions?
Type I – immediate reaction to allergens this can happen after a few seconds or minutes due to pollen, insect bites, dust mites, or certain foods. This is due to a common allergic reaction to food and, in severe cases, can lead to anaphylaxis. Type 2 is when the reaction starts minutes or hours after the antibodies have had a damaging effect on the body’s cells.
Type III begins to show after a few hours when antibodies react to allergens, and is often associated with lupus, serum sickness, and Arthus reaction. The final and most advanced stage is type IV, which may take hours or days to develop, and is present in long-term infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and fungal infections.
British immunologists Robert Coombs and Philip Gell established these four types of hypersensitivity reactions in the body in 1963.
What are the symptoms and causes?
The symptoms of an allergic reaction vary depending on the type of reaction and the severity of the effect on the immune system. Typically, many people experience swelling, redness of the skin, sneezing, rash, hives, vomiting, bloating, pain, itchy nose, and watery eyes. However, the symptoms of anaphylaxis are more life-threatening and serious for the body, including a painful skin rash, shortness of breath, chest tightness, swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat, and abdominal pain. For those suffering from anaphylaxis, immediate medical attention is recommended.
Some allergic reactions can be caused by insect stings, molds, pollens, and certain foods and medicines.
How to prevent it?
To avoid an allergic reaction, a person must be aware of harmful allergens and actively avoid them. Many allergens are in the air, so a person should rinse their nose with saline daily to limit its effects on the body.
Various medications are manufactured to treat these reactions, including corticosteroids for nasal allergies, a corticosteroid cream for itchy rashes, and an adrenaline autoinjector for anaphylaxis. | <urn:uuid:689f3870-1c39-4563-bccf-a3e75afcc71f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://friedjam.co.za/2022/07/19/what-to-do-if-you-have-an-allergic-reaction-symptoms-causes-and-prevention/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.946364 | 609 | 3.65625 | 4 |
Travel to Iran, will not be completed if any traveler omits Yazd from its itinerary. Being one of the most historical cities in the country, Yazd is also visited by millions of people all around the year.
There are a number of historical monuments and traditional houses to see in the city. The city is also known as being the center of Zoroastrian culture. The two most important sites related to Zoroastrian culture are the Gashtasb Fire Temple, and Towers of Silence. Here, we are going to talk about the Towers of Silence, the Zoroastrian Burial Culture.
General idea about Towers of Silence
A tower of silence (locally known as ‘
History of using Towers of Silence
According to the historical evidence, Zoroastrian first used the towers in the middle of the fifth century BC. However, the use of towers was first documented in the early of the 9th century CE. One of the earliest literary descriptions of such a building appears in the late 9th century in Epistles of Manushchihr. The other technical term that appears later in the texts of Zoroastrian tradition is
Zoroastrian beliefs for using Towers of Silence
Based on ancient Zoroastrian beliefs that emphasize
After this weird purification, there is a person in there who was never allowed to leave the Dakhmeh, putting the remaining bones into the “
That’s why followers of Zoroastrianism used to let dead bodies to be exposed to the elements. Dried bones were then placed in a pit in the middle of the tower to disintegrate into dust.
Construction of Towers of Silence
It is not entirely clear as to when the earliest of these structures were built. Nevertheless, the towers of silence that are in existence today may have the same or similar construction to the ones used in the past.
Entry to the tower is via steps that lead up to a massive iron door in the eastern side of the
The bodies are placed in shallow depressions in the slabs of stone. There are numerous depressions in a row that allow bodies to be placed side-by-side.
Narrow channels connect the depressions in the rings to drain fluids to the central well. Between the three rings are three concentric raised ledges that serve to separate the rings and as a path. Rainwater washes the slabs and drains into the central well via the channels.
Once the bones are completely stripped of their flesh either by birds or by rain and sun, the dried bleached bones are gathered by the attendants and placed in the central well where they reduce to a powder, a process sometimes aided with the addition of lime. As stated above, the disintegration of the bones is so complete, that after forty years, one tower's central well had only five feet of accumulated residue.
The central well goes down in depth to the base of the tower.

Presumably because birders have been preoccupied with celebrations of one sort or another during the past week, there has been a paucity of bird reports from Presqu'ile Provincial Park. Most of the interesting sightings have been in Presqu'ile Bay, where residents keep an eye on what there is to see when otherwise not occupied. The ice margin has retreated to the calf pasture, allowing waterfowl to avoid the hunters at Salt Point.
Late last week about 600 MUTE SWANS and at least a dozen TRUMPETER SWANS were in Presqu'ile Bay. Yesterday the numbers of the former had dwindled somewhat and a dozen or so TUNDRA SWANS accompanied them. The first CANVASBACKS usually show up at about this time. This week there have been only a couple of dozen REDHEADS, as well as a lone male RING-NECKED DUCK for a few days. WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS are there in single digits. A surprising concentration of about 120 COMMON MERGANSERS on Tuesday was the only sighting of that species in over a week. Seven WILD TURKEYS were along Bayshore Road near Lilac Lane yesterday. Three AMERICAN COOTS were off the government dock on Friday but have not re-appeared. Two ICELAND GULLS and one GLAUCOUS GULL have been on the edge of the ice in Presqu'ile Bay.
The big news among Bayshore Road residents has been the BALD EAGLES sitting on the ice of Presqu'ile Bay and in adjacent trees. On most days several have been seen at once, and two observers mentioned counting ten or eleven at a time. Two observers found a NORTHERN GOSHAWK along Paxton Drive, and a ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK was on Gull Island. The only owl of the past week was a BARRED OWL. A flock of CEDAR WAXWINGS was seen on Friday. After spending over a week at 186 Bayshore Road, the SAVANNAH SPARROW mentioned in last week's report disappeared after Thursday of last week.
Locations within the Park are shown on a map at the back of a tabloid that is available at the Park gate. Visitors to Gull Island (a couple of metres of water with a depth of a centimetre or two separated it from Owen Point on Tuesday) may encounter a slippery coating of ice on the rocks. Ice cleats are recommended.
Birders are encouraged to record their observations on the bird sightings board provided near the campground office by The Friends of Presqu'ile Park and to fill out a rare bird report for species not listed there.

What are the chances that the Renewal Schools will improve student academic achievement? To see if these schools can really succeed, I decided to take Mr. Peabody's "way back machine" to 1996 when Chancellor Rudy Crew, frustrated with the poor results from many schools who had too many high poverty, special education, and homeless students, decided to take the bull by the horns and tackle the problem. He took the lowest performing schools and made it his own district called the Chancellor's District. Fifty-eight elementary and middle schools were selected to be part of this new district, along with fourteen high schools. These schools were part of the seven year experiment to show that additional funding and class size limitations could result in the narrowing of the student academic achievement gap.
The Chancellor's District had mixed success before Chancellor Joel Klein shut the district down in 2003. However, before the Bloomberg administration eliminated the Chancellor's District, the schools did show a narrowing of the academic achievement gap in English, primarily because more funding and resources were concentrated in the literacy field. However, disappointingly, there was little significant improvement when it came to the Math scores. Despite promises by Joel Klein to continue to provide the additional resources under his "Children First" program, the schools were quietly put back into their community districts and the promised resources never materialized.
The Chancellor's District had a program called "A Model For Excellence" that included the following components.
- Class sizes were capped at 20 for K-3 and 25 for the higher grades.
- School day was extended by 20 minutes and the year an extra week.
- Small group after school tutoring and other activities till 6pm.
- Each school had an on-site teacher center and a teacher specialist.
- Student services were $2,400 per student higher than other struggling schools.
- All teachers must be certified in the subject they were teaching.
- Additional Professional Development and Supervisors
This brings me to the Renewal Schools and their requirements.
- Class sizes capped at contractual limits (25-33 students).
- School day extended an additional 40-45 minutes.
- Similar to the Chancellor's District.
- No on-site teacher center or specialist, coaches instead.
- Subject to the school's "fair student funding" requirements.
- Mostly "newbies" hired, some not certified in the teaching subject.
- Same as the Chancellor's District.
When one compares the requirements and their mixed academic results of the Chancellor's District to the Renewal School requirements which seems less attractive for both teachers and students, the projected academic improvements appears to be wishful thinking. | <urn:uuid:5aef8fbd-7617-4c6c-8f79-d46bca1bcfb4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://chaz11.blogspot.com/2016/10/how-does-old-chancellors-district.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572408.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816151008-20220816181008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.974513 | 537 | 2.5 | 2 |
||Wrobel, Piotr. The Devil's Playground: Poland in World War II. The Canadian Foundation for Polish Studies of the Polish Institute of Arts & Sciences. Price-Patterson Ltd.
Professor Piotr Wrobel holds the Konstanty Reynart Chair in Polish at the University of Toronto. Prior to his appointment in 1994, he taught Polish, Modern European, German and Russian history at the University of Warsaw, at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, Michigan State University at East Lansing and at the University of California at Davis. He obtained his PhD from the University of Warsaw and has been a visiting scholar at the Institute of European History at Mainz, at Humboldt University in Berlin, and at the Institute for Polish-Jewish Studies at Oxford. During 1987-1991 he was a research fellow at the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw and during 1987-88 he served as research director of a clandestine Eastern Archives, which collected materials about the Polish deportees in the Soviet Union after 1939. He serves on the Advisory Board of Polin: A Journal of Polish-Jewish Studies and he has authored or co-authored seven books and more than 75 scholarly articles. His most recent work is The Historical Dictionary of Poland published by Greenwood Press in 1998. The Devil's Playground was first presented in September 1999 at the National Holocaust Museum in Washington, where Professor Wróbel was scholar-in-residence as part of the program commemorating the 60th anniversary of the invasion of Poland and the start of World War II.
Fortune governs human affairs unfairly. There are countries in Europe, such as Sweden or Switzerland, where dramatic historical events happen rarely. At the same time, there are European countries where disasters strike frequently. Poland belongs to this second, less fortunate group. During the last three hundred years, every generation in Poland went through either a devastating war, or a bloody uprising, or a merciless occupation and genocide. During some periods of this unhappy era, the Poles faced major historical challenges every ten or twenty years. In this long list of national tragedies, one experience stands out as the most horrific: World War II, which destroyed a large part of the Polish cultural heritage, devastated the economy, demoralized the Polish people, and left them with a fear that would last for a long time. To most Americans and West Europeans, World War II constitutes the proverbial ancient history: vague and remote. Few of those who were directly affected are still alive, everything is rebuilt and there are few reminders of the war. For most East Europeans, including the Poles, the war is a vivid memory, the emotional wounds are still fresh, and serious consequences, rooted in the World War II tragedy, continue to affect them. This subjective difference in the perception of the past makes East-West dialogue, cooperation, and integration difficult.
John Keegan, probably the most outstanding historian of World War II, concludes one of his books in the following way: "No six years of history have been more written about than 1939-1945."1 Unfortunately, this sentence does not apply to the history of World War II in Poland. Most Westerners, even those who are well educated and well read, know next to nothing about this subject. They operate with stereotypes and fragmented information taken out of context. Paradoxically, because of changes in historical education and the passing away of the war generation, the tiny group of people who do know about the Polish tragedy in and after 1939, is getting increasingly smaller. More and more frequently, the Poles face an unpleasant dilemma: they must either hide their sensitivity and swallow their pride, or appear overly idealistic and nationalistically biased.
Fighting for freedom and independence dominated the previous two hundred years of Polish history. After the Partitions of Poland in the late 18th century, the Poles were downgraded to an unhappy class of stateless people. While other, more successful nations built their modern political systems and economies, the Poles had to concentrate on simply surviving as an ethnic entity. They were denationalized, economically exploited, and deported. Their desperate uprisings ended with displays of bloody vengeance on the part of their conquerors. Occupied by three powerful empires, Russia, Austria, and Germany, the Poles asked themselves if they would be able to save their national identity, language, and culture, and if they ever could rebuild their state.
At last, in 1914, a great "war of nations" began. This war delivered a miracle. Germany, Austria, and Russia became enemies, they fought on two different sides of the front and, finally, each of the three found themselves on the losing side of the war. The Austrian Empire disintegrated and disappeared. A bloody revolution pushed Russia into chaos. Germany, also facing a threat of revolution, unable to single-handedly defeat the united forces of Great Britain, France, and the United States, eventually collapsed. Thus, a political vacuum emerged in East Central Europe in 1918. This vacuum was filled by a group of newborn or reconstituted states, among them the Polish Second Republic.
It was not an easy independence. Reborn Poland had to stop Soviet aggression in 1919 and then faced other serious problems such as the national minorities "question" and an inheritance of socio-economic backwardness. These were difficult to solve. But, at least Poland was free, sovereign, and in control of her destiny. Her situation was greatly improved. There is no doubt that without the short inter-war period of independence there would be no free and independent Poland today.
Unfortunately, by the 1930s, the post-war political vacuum in East Central Europe that was essential for Poland's development disappeared. The historical enemies of Poland, Germany and Russia, had recovered their strength and began to reconstruct their empires. Their foreign ministers, Joachim von Ribbentrop and Vyacheslav Molotov, signed the sinister German-Soviet non-aggression pact of August 23, 1939, agreeing to divide East Central Europe and Poland into two "spheres of influence" controlled by the Germans and the Soviets. Stalin and Hitler decided that Poland – in Molotov's words, "this bastard of the Versailles treaty" – should cease to exist once and for all.
Thus, on September 1, 1939 Nazi Germany invaded Poland and seventeen days later, the Soviet Union followed suit. "The Poles," wrote the British historian Nicholas Bethell, "were fighting the Germans to the last man, believing that this was a decisive battle of the war, that the allies would organize an offensive to prevent Poland from being conquered."2 Unfortunately, a short-sighted self-interest prevailed in France and Great Britain. Their governments betrayed Poland, breaking their pre-war promises. London and Paris accepted Poland's deadly struggle as a "useful diversion providing a breathing space."3 The Polish army surrendered after 35 days of bloody fighting. Warsaw was the only European capital besieged by the Germans during the war and defended itself for several weeks. The city paid a high price for its resistance: 10 per cent of Warsaw was destroyed as early as September 1939. The Polish army, which under French and British pressure had not started its mobilization until August 30, was crushed by the troops of two hostile and powerful totalitarian giants.
Poland was the only country attacked at the same time by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. In 1939 there was no power in the world that could have stopped this deadly coalition. Most people in the West do not realize how tragic Poland's situation was in 1939 and how heroic the Polish defense was. John Keegan writes on this: "There still is no satisfactory account in English of the German-Polish War of 1939, which precipitated the general outbreak. The Polish army – almost completely un-mechanized, almost without air support, almost surrounded by the Germans from the outset and, shortly, completely surrounded when the Red Army joined the aggression – fought more effectively than it has been given credit for. It sustained resistance from September 1 until October 5, five weeks, which compares highly favorably with the six and a half weeks during which France, Britain, Belgium, and Holland kept up the fight in the West the following year."4
The Germans also initiated a propaganda war against Poland. The best known element of this propaganda war is the legendary Blitzkrieg in Poland. The Allies gladly accepted Goebbels' version of the "quick war" because it justified their betrayal. After the war, many outstanding western historians, such as John Wheeler-Bennett in his The Nemesis of Power, used the Blitzkrieg interpretation. Several documentary film directors took as authentic material the scenes Goebbels staged for his propaganda film, "Feldzug in Polen." As a result, many people in the West believe that the Poles did not really fight in 1939, and that the Poles sent the cavalry against the German tanks.
After the September campaign, Poland was partitioned again. Almost 50 per cent of her territory was taken by the Soviet Union, 48.4 per cent by Nazi Germany, and 1.6 per cent by Lithuania. The German occupation in Poland lasted longer than in any other country (leaving aside the much milder occupation of Bohemia) and was the most severe. Historians often divide the German occupational system in Europe into seven categories. The most liberal occupational system was introduced in Denmark, where the German invasion of 1940 barely interrupted normal life. Denmark was controlled by a civilian administration of the German Foreign Office; the Danish king spent the entire war in his palace; and democratic elections were held in 1943. Life in occupied France was also comparatively not bad. In Holland and in Belgium, government administration was carried on by pre-war senior civil servants.
Poland was on the opposite side of the spectrum of occupational systems: there was no other country in Europe where the Germans were so cruel and consistently hostile towards the local population. The Poles were ranked by the Nazis as the second lowest racial group in Europe next to the Jews and the Gypsies. As a result, over 6 million Polish citizens, 3 million Christians and 3 million Jews, were killed during the war, the highest casualty rate among the European states. Millions were deported to Germany and Russia or left in the territories taken by the Soviet Union after the war. By war's end, Poland's population was reduced from 35 million to 23 million – a figure that includes victims killed, deported, in exile in the West or still captive in Russia, and others whose fate is unknown.
Poland's citizens were killed not only by the Germans. The Soviet occupation resembled German rule in many respects; indeed most scholars believe that "In the Soviet occupation zone conditions were only marginally less harsh than under the Germans."5 For their part, many Poles believe that the Soviet occupation was worse. Both the Soviets and the Germans cooperated against the Poles after September 1939. Both invaders followed the old rule: divide et impera (divide and rule). The first element of this division was the territorial fragmentation of Poland. The Germans partitioned their booty into two segments. The entire northwestern part of Poland and a portion of central Poland were incorporated directly into the Reich and became an integral part of Germany, which meant, among many other things, that young Poles were conscripted into the Wehrmacht. The remaining part of central and southern Poland was transformed into a colony of the Third Reich: the Generalgouvernment fur die besetzen Polnischen Gebiete (the Generalgovernment for the occupied Polish territory). The Soviets divided their spoils between Soviet Belorussia and Soviet Ukraine, and gave the small region of Vilna to Lithuania, still free in 1939 but occupied by the Soviets in 1940.
Moreover, the population of Poland was divided on both sides of the Ribbentrop-Molotov line. At the top of the social structure in German-occupied Poland were the Reichsdeutsche, the pre-war citizens of Germany, the Reich. Then, there were four categories of the so-called Volksdeutsche – ethnic Germans – followed by the Slavic minorities in Poland, the Belorussians and the Ukrainians, who enjoyed some kind of autonomy and several privileges. Lower down were the Poles. On the very bottom of the German-constructed social ladder were the groups considered by the Nazis to be non-human and destined for immediate extermination: the Jews and the Gypsies. The Slavs, including the Poles, were the Untermenschen, (the "subhumans") largely destined to be labourers for the Reich. The exceptions were those who were considered suitable for Germanization. This group represented 3 per cent of the Polish population in the Generalgouvernement. Among the Czechs, however, this group represented 50 per cent of the population. Ultimately, most Slavs were destined for "extermination through labour"6 or for deportation to the East.
The Soviets also built a similar social ladder. On its top were Soviet people sent to the newly incorporated areas from the pre-war Soviet territories. Next were native communists and lower classes of the local population, mostly representatives of the non-Polish people who, at least initially, were happy that the Polish state had disappeared. On the bottom of the Soviet-constructed ladder there were the so-called "enemies of the people," the Soviet equivalent of subhumans, mostly Poles and the non-Polish staff members of the destroyed state apparatus as well as owners of local businesses, larger farms, and estates. Both the Soviets and the Germans did their best to deepen the abyss between the various groups within the local population and contributed greatly to the previous Polish-Jewish, Polish-Ukrainian, and Polish-Belorussian conflicts. Some stereotypes and lies, invented by the Germans and the Soviets to aggravate inter-ethnic and inter-religious conflicts in Poland, are still believed today.
On both sides of the Ribbentrop-Molotov line, the most savage and devastating attack organized by the invaders was against the elite of Polish society. Both the Germans and the Soviets were determined to kill "the best and the brightest" and, to a large extent, they succeeded in doing this. During World War II, the Polish nation was decapitated: the most promising youth, the most patriotic intelligentsia, and the most outstanding intellectuals were killed. Two months after the outbreak of the war, at the beginning of November 1939, all the professors of Cracow's Jagiellonian University and the Mining Academy were invited by the Germans for a meeting. Most of them, one hundred and sixty-seven, were arrested and sent to the concentration camp of Oranienburg-Sachsenhausen. One hundred and three survived and returned to Cracow, but some died immediately after their release. Similar treatment was applied by the Germans to the professors of other Polish universities. Eighty per cent of Polish intellectuals fell into deep poverty and after the war many of them never returned to their pre-war intellectual activities.
The Soviets were killing "the best and the brightest" too. In March 1940, Stalin decided to execute about 22,000 Polish war prisoners, including over 15,000 officers from the three POW camps in Kozielsk, Starobielsk, and Ostaszkow. The Poles were executed in April and May 1940 in Katyn, near Kharkov and near Tver. Most of the victims were reserve officers, the elite of the Polish nation. In Katyn alone, 21 university professors, 300 physicians, and hundreds of lawyers, teachers, and engineers were killed. Altogether, during World War II, Poland lost 45 per cent of her physicians and dentists (both Christian and Jewish), 57 per cent of her lawyers, over 15 per cent of her teachers, 40 per cent of university professors and over 18 per cent of her clergy.7
The Soviets also led a very efficient propaganda campaign against Poland. From the first days of the war, the Soviets, the communist parties in the West, as well as the leftist organizations and individuals influenced by the communists, furiously attacked the Polish Government-in-Exile, the Polish Army, and Polish institutions in the West. The accusations leveled against them most frequently were anti-Sovietism, anti-Semitism, political irresponsibility, and chauvinism. A group of British communist and labour parliamentary deputies, for example, tried to stop the establishment of the Polish Armed Forces in England in 1940. These attacks became more intense after the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, when the Soviets became "our brave Russian allies" and Stalin was transformed from a bloody dictator and Hitler's best partner to "good uncle Joe." "An incredible thing seemed to have happened to the American mind," wrote a Soviet defector, Victor Krevchenko, at that time. "The Soviet dictatorship was fully identified with the Russian people. What the communists had not yet succeeded in doing in their own country – as the purges and the millions of political prisoners indicate – they succeeded in doing in America! ... I saw men and women, who themselves called President Roosevelt a dictator, grow furious when Stalin was called a dictator."8 Another successful aspect of Soviet propaganda was that many people in the West, including numerous university history professors, journalists, and writers, accepted the Soviet lie about Katyn and truly believed that the Polish officers were murdered by the Germans. Until the 1980s, many American intellectuals considered the true version of the Katyn crime to be a glaring example of Polish anti-Sovietism, intellectual conservative backwardness, and chauvinism.
In destroying the elite of the Polish nation, the occupiers waged war on Polish culture. "The Poles," announced Hans Frank, the Governor of the Generalgouvernement, "do not need universities or secondary schools; the Polish lands are to be changed into an intellectual desert."9 In order to do this, the Germans closed all Polish scientific, artistic, and educational institutions with the exception of simplified primary schools. The Germans destroyed many historical buildings, scientific and art collections, and libraries. Most museums, public and private art collections, archives, and scientific laboratories were pillaged. Many outstanding German professors and scholars were involved in the robbery of the cultural heritage of Poland. The German struggle against this heritage included as well a carefully planned destruction of the monuments to Polish kings, heroes, writers, and scholars. The publication of Polish books was forbidden and the Polish press, numbering over 2,200 periodicals before the war, was reduced – leaving aside the underground press – to a few dozen titles fully controlled by the Germans. The bookstores were forbidden to sell English and French books, dictionaries, handbooks, newspapers and periodicals. A list of about 3,000 forbidden books was published and the mere possession of these publications was illegal. The Germans also initiated an organized struggle against the Polish language. In the territories incorporated into the Reich, the German authorities ordered the removal of all public notices and inscriptions in Polish, they Germanized Polish place names, and banished the Polish language from public use, including in the Church. Frequently, people who spoke Polish in the streets were insulted and beaten. To some degree, this Germanization operation was extended to the Generalgouvernement. The German administration not only tried to deprive the Poles of education and culture, they did their best to lower the intellectual and moral level of Polish society, to corrupt and demoralize it, and to promote drunkenness and collaboration."10

The Heavenly Man is an autobiography of Brother Yun detailing his life from the age of sixteen, through his three accounts of incarceration, and ending in his exile to Germany.
It was awarded the "Christian Book of the Year" by the UK Christian Booksellers Convention in Do only Christians go to Heaven. Classical evangelical doctrine holds that salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ, and that those without such faith will be condemned to hell.
A number of texts are typically cited in support of this position. In John Jesus declares, "I am the way. As I said at the beginning, Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. However, this means something very different than what most Christians think it means. Most Christians think Jesus meant that only those who believe that Jesus Christ is God—meaning only Christians—can get to God, and therefore to heaven.
Christianity: Christianity is the only religion that teaches man can do nothing to earn or pay his way into heaven. Man, a slave to the sin nature he was born with, must completely rely on the grace of God in applying Jesus Christ’s sacrifice to the sins of the believer.

John Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

New research shows a widespread departure among Christians from traditional Bible teaching such as Jesus being the only way to salvation and some scholars have blamed the ideological shift in part, on influential divinity schools and charismatic church leaders.
Daniel 10 speaks of the book of truth, Ezekiel receives a book from heaven to eat, Revelation mentions various books–the book only the Lamb can open, the book of life, the little book held by an angel, and so forth. Not only are there books kept in the presence of God, but also those God himself writes, as referenced in Exodus For true Christians, that will occur at the return of Jesus Christ.
The apostle Paul makes this clear in 1 Thessalonians “For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep [are dead]. So what I say to people who ask me about their loved ones in heaven is this.

"Heaven is a place, just as much a place as is New York or Chicago." ~ Charles Ferguson Ball Everyone wants to know about heaven and everyone wants to go there. Recent polls suggest that nearly 80% of all Americans believe there is a place called heaven.
The primary reason that Christians profess Jesus Christ as the only way to heaven is that He forgives sin and offers eternal life (John ), something that no other religious founder or leader has ever claimed.
Every human is separated from God by sin. Over the last seven decades, Billy Graham has written 32 books which are an extension of his continued ministry and burden to reach as many people as possible with the Good News of the Gospel.
In “Peace with God,” Mr. Graham outlines ten guidelines for Christian living. Go to Heaven: A Spiritual Road Map to Eternity; Beginning with "The First Faint Summons to Heaven," Sheen shows how unpopular it is today to be a true Christian. Why is it, asks Bishop Fulton Sheen, that one hears so often the expression "Go to hell!" shows us the way to heaven in a most eloquent book, encouraging the reader to choose.

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts "For.
That word can be a real turn-off to people because we live in an inclusivistic era. What it means in this context is that the claim of Christianity that Jesus is the only way means that all other ways to God are excluded. If Jesus is the only way to the one true God, then no other claims can be true.
Another view on the matter is inclusivism.All Christians believe the doctrine of the Trinity. If you do not believe this—that is, if you have come to a settled conclusion that the doctrine of the Trinity is not true—you are not a Christian at all.
You are in fact a heretic. Those words may sound harsh, but they represent the judgment of the Christian church across the centuries. | <urn:uuid:7e07cb22-09e3-4a4f-bb88-681b402540bb> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://sikynyqafefiwu.arleenthalerphotography.com/the-true-christians-plaine-way-to-heaven-book-15714hb.php | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570692.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807181008-20220807211008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.948903 | 2,947 | 1.554688 | 2 |
In this week’s spotlight on inspiration, designer Grace Fussell spills the beans on her techniques for tackling projects like a pro – from hitting all the sweet spots on a brief to getting inspiration off the Internet, and the importance of developing a creative process. Learn more about her story below.
I’m Grace, and I’m a graphic designer. After starting my career in print design for a university in the UK, I decided to take the plunge as a freelance designer. That was five years ago, and I haven’t looked back since.
When I began freelancing, one of the things that took me a while to perfect was my creative process. Defining the way you work as a designer is really important. Establishing a process for working can help you be more creative and productive, as well as minimize stress.
To help you get some ideas for how you can develop your own creative process, I’m going to walk you through how I approach a typical project and share with you my top tips for establishing a creative routine.
Why Do I Need a ‘Creative Process’?
Even creative people need structure and routine in their daily work. Historically, a routine has an important role to play in the success of well-known creatives and artists. Renowned architect and designer Le Corbusier practiced calisthenics (intensive strength training) every morning, while legendary composer Ludwig van Beethoven began every day with a cup of coffee made from precisely sixty beans, which he counted out each morning.
Beethoven got his creative juices flowing with a strong coffee every morning.
Aside from the everyday ‘non-work’ activities—such as a mid-morning snack or a brisk afternoon walk—that give you the breathing space to head back to work with renewed energy and inspiration, it’s also important to create a routine within your work process.
Whether you’re freelancing or working within an office environment, it’s equally important to develop a set process for dealing with design projects. If you’re given a task to do out-of-the-blue, having an established process for creating will allow you to approach the work with a calm and clear head. You’ll be a better designer for it, I promise!
My Creative Process: An Example
As a freelance designer, I am often asked to help agencies out with client pitches. Sometimes I’ve been asked to put together a complete brand design for it to be pitched the very next day.
In my early freelancing days I probably would have had a minor meltdown, but now I’m much calmer and collected. Why? Because I have a process that works every time, for almost every sort of project. This is it…
Step 1: Nail Down the Brief
Whether I get a request over email or phone, I always make sure to have a long, detailed discussion with the client about their expectations and aspirations for the project.
Even if time is short, it’s very important to know exactly what they are looking for. Ask the client to fill out a questionnaire you’ve created, which details both their personal hopes for the project (e.g. Which design styles do you prefer? Do you have any examples of designs you like?) as well as the technical specs (e.g. What file format(s) should the work be provided in?).
Only when you have a very firm idea of what the client is looking for, can you start your own creative process. These discussions also prove to be indispensable to have to hand later down the line if the client changes their mind or says that you’ve not done what they asked for.
Step 2: Research
The creative side of you will be chomping at the bit by this point, wanting to dive straight into designing. But I always take a bit of time to do my research. This is particularly important to do when working on branding projects, as it’s important to get a sense of where the brand will sit in the market.
Head to Google, and do some research into the client’s sector. Make notes on the design traits shared in common between similar businesses. For example, if you’re designing a logo for a building firm, you might find that many similar businesses use punchy color combinations like yellow and black, as well as chunky sans serif typography. If you design a pastel-colored logo set in a classical serif typeface, it’s unlikely to come across as an appropriate competitor to these businesses.
Step 3: Inspiration
With your research notes to hand, it’s time to start looking for inspiration, to get your creative juices flowing. No designer can work in a complete vacuum—seeking inspiration is a huge part of making your designs the very best they can be.
I consistently turn to Pinterest when I want to get inspired. It’s fantastic for researching design trends and styles and has a consumer-driven focus, which makes the material particularly relevant and on-trend.
Try searching for related designs to get an idea of how other designers approach similar projects, before broadening your search to more random searches (e.g. ‘mid-century design’, ‘tropicana style’, ‘hand-lettered typography’ etc) which might spark an idea about the subject, style, color, mood or texture.
Step 4: Sketch
Sketching is such an essential part of the creative process. I truly believe that designers are at their most creative when they are drawing by hand, away from their computers.
Drawing by hand allows your imagination to run wild, as there are no limitations to your ideas on paper. Take yourself away to a quiet spot, pick up a large sketchpad, and spend half an hour or so filling up a few pages with lots of ideas. I like to sketch on a large table where I can spread out lots of paper and pens, and not worry about getting the area a bit messy for a little while.
Sketch quickly and roughly, moving briskly from one idea to the next. Add annotations describing ideas about additional details and colors. When you’ve filled up a few pages, put the pad down and reward yourself with a break.
Step 5: Refine
When you return to your sketches afresh, you’ll be able to assess more clearly which ideas are stronger than others.
Circle three or four of your best ideas. Now work on refining each idea, committing each to its own page. Spend time refining the shape and form of your design, before experimenting with color using colored pencils, pens or watercolors.
Step 6: Move to the Computer
With your sketches refined, it’s time to translate them to a digital format. Scan or upload a photo of each of your designs onto your computer.
Alternatively, you might want to create a raster image, using the sketch as a foundation for building up texture and effects. A photo-editor like Adobe Photoshop will be your best bet for creating beautiful raster designs.
Step 7: Put Together the Extras
Simply creating a digital version of your sketch is by no means the end of a design project. Most professional designers spend just as much, if not more, time perfecting the finer details of a design, as well as working on the extras that lift their work from humdrum to professional-standard.
Say you have been asked to create a logo for a client. As well as the simple black-and-white silhouette version of the logo, the client is likely to want to be able to use the logo across different media and in different formats. Spending time refining the color and style variations of the logo (e.g. versions with text, versions without) will show the client how carefully you have considered their brief, and demonstrate the versatility of your design.
For a complete branding project, you may have to think about a broad range of extras, which would allow the client to put your brand design to use. For example, consider creating a brand color palette, advising the client on which fonts to use across their communications, and how they can best work with photos and illustrations to keep the look of their media ‘brand-friendly’.
Step 8: Present
Once you’ve refined three or four concepts, and considered some of the design ‘extras’ discussed above, you’re ready to bring your hard work together and make it presentable for the client.
I usually put this together in the form of a pitch or ‘concept’ document in InDesign. I set out the designs on simple, uncluttered landscape A4 pages, and add a simple cover stating clearly the date and my own name. If the document’s longer than ten pages, I create a contents page and add page numbers for easy navigation.
Attach this to an email or, if possible, present this document to the client in person. It’s always easier to explain your reasoning for using this color or depicting this subject if you’re face-to-face.
If the client’s pleased with the work and wants to use your designs, you should also provide them with the ‘native’ artwork files, for example in EPS format, to allow them to use the design flexible.
Step 9: Head Back to the Drawing Board
Of course, the unfortunate fact of a designer’s life is that the client won’t necessarily like the designs you have created. This is nothing to beat yourself up about—it’s a common occurrence, and no indicator of your capabilities as a designer. It may be that the client’s brief didn’t match what they pictured in their head, or perhaps you’ve misunderstood a key element of what they were looking for.
Whatever the reason, don’t dwell on the negative for too long. Approaching this scenario with a positive attitude and presenting a possible solution to the client, whether it be tweaking the existing design or starting over from scratch, will demonstrate your professionalism. Most clients will hold you in high respect for approaching it with maturity and an attitude of “Sure, I want to get it completely right for you”, and remember you for future projects.
As a designer, I find that it’s really important to enjoy the whole creative process, and not focus too heavily on how the final result is received. With this attitude, you will always be able to approach a new brief with enthusiasm and the best of your creativity.
What Are You Waiting For? It’s Time to Get Creative!
This article has explored my own creative process which I’ve honed after years of (often bad!) practice, eventually finding the approach and routine that works for me.
While this is a good guide for any designer looking to develop a more consistent process in their own work, it may be that you find that a different approach works best for you. I know a designer who much prefers to brainstorm their ideas on their laptop, rather than sketching by hand, for example. You may prefer to seek inspiration away from the internet, looking at books, nature or movies to guide your taste and creative approach.
Whatever the details of your routine become, refining your creative process is a vital method for bringing balance into a creative, and sometimes chaotic, working life. Creating a routine in your daily work not only allows you to make your ideas a practical reality, but it also helps you to manage your time much better, ultimately allowing you to enjoy the ride!

By Brian Tyson, MD, George Fareed, MD. and Mathew Crawford
In late December 2019, the WHO (World Health Organization) country office located in China was notified of a cluster of viral pneumonia cases in Wuhan, China. However, little else was revealed, and there was minimal concern around the world. After all, viruses causing pneumonia, bronchitis, and other upper respiratory conditions are common in the medical field.
We expect these viruses to be ordinary. In most cases, we treat the patient with what is considered a classic protocol. Then, within a week to ten days, the patients improve, and life goes on a usual. But this virus was anything but ordinary—like nothing we have ever seen or experienced.
Keep in mind that, in those early days, there was no known effective treatment. In fact, many people were simply being told to go home from the hospital and “wait it out”—and only to return to the hospital if the virus became life-threatening. As we all know, in too many of these cases, returning to the hospital was too late for that person to recover and survive the deadly virus.
This approach had horrific consequences. Wait. Wait some more. Then, if you’re really sick, go to the hospital, where you can be put on a ventilator. Tragically, husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, and friends waited anxiously at home for word on their loved one’s status in the hospital—without the ability to visit them or see them one last time.
If only they could have been tested early.
If only they could have received an effective treatment immediately—even before the test results were in.
Our book exists because we found that a combination of hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and antibiotics could serve as an extremely effective treatment, if they were administered as early as possible. In fact, our results are nothing short of a miracle.
Despite the amazing success we achieved with more than 7,000 patients, all of the major medical organizations—from the WHO, to the NIH, to the CDC—did not welcome our information. Rather, they attempted to stop us from effectively treating patients, as well as suppress the information we knew the public needed to hear. We were even threatened with professional consequences if we were to continue providing this life-saving treatment to COVID-positive individuals.
Why? Why would anyone want to stop getting the word out, when a pandemic that rocked the globe could be effectively treated? Why would doctors on the front lines, saving lives each day, be threatened with punishment from their own colleagues?
Consider this: when the world was desperate to find a treatment or cure for a deadly disease, and when we actually provided that information … it was censored. But we wouldn’t give up. In fact, we channeled our anger into collective action, by publishing raw video of speeches that spoke the truth … and then posting and reposting again, as the videos were repeatedly taken down.
Despite the pushback, we won’t stop posting, until it is recognized all over the world that we do not need to be afraid anymore. People need to know—and be reassured—that we will survive this pandemic, just like pandemics of the past. There is treatment available. This treatment works when used early, and it is highly effective.
In this book we share our journey, from a perhaps naïve optimism that this treatment would be met with open arms, to the struggle we faced in getting the word out to the public, amidst suppression and censure from politicians and even others in the medical profession.
Despite making congressional statements, providing data to prove our success rates, and thousands of anecdotal stories of treatment and recovery, the CDC, NIH, or any other medical organization would not listen. They were too busy telling the public that there was no cure.
In our book, we provide testimonials, articles from newspapers and other media, excerpts from medical studies, interview transcripts, transcripts from congressional hearings, and presentations made to various organizations. You will also discover what other doctors around the world are saying about this highly successful treatment.
Our voices will be heard … because we hear the cry of those in our care. Physicians are people too; we have families and kids. We would never advocate for something in which we did not believe.
We believe many scientists are different; financial gains and incentives may complicate their decision-making process. In addition, there are research funding needs and pressures, and while they may have the best of intentions, these scientists do not work on the frontlines. They do not care for patients; they do not need to explain the risks and benefits of treatments to families. They are not there when patients break down and cry because they have tested positive. They don’t have to explain to a nine-year-old girl that she will not kill her parents just because she tested positive.
This virus has killed many people! The question is, how many more will die unnecessarily from not receiving the available treatment? How many will die in fear, and how many will die alone?
We invite you to witness our journey, and how we accomplished a miracle. The world needs to know the real story of COVID-19: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Everyone deserves to know the truth—and the truth is far different from what you have heard from Dr. Fauci or in the media.

The State of Qatar has recently issued a new PPP Law setting out the rules and procedures for undertaking Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects.
The PPP Law provides a legal framework governing the entry of public and private sector entities into PPP agreements for projects of various forms including BOT, BTO, BOOT, OM and so forth.
Under the supervision of a PPP Committee, the governmental authority or concerned administration concluding the project should assess the desired project and launch the selection procedures of the private counterparty through a number of procurement methods set out in the PPP Law. Bidders in a PPP project are expected to meet a number of financial and technical qualifications determined prior to the selection procedures.
By structuring and regulating PPP projects, the Qatari government intends to instill transparency, due process and equality in the tendering process for private investments in Qatari projects. This, combined with a number of benefits granted to the private partner under a PPP project such as exemptions on nationality requirements will undoubtedly encourage major actors to invest in Qatar.
For more details, see below.
Qatar National Vision 2030: new PPP law unveiled to promote private participation in major infrastructure projects #qatar #PPP #infrastructure @elmeouchilawTweet
“Qatar National Vision 2030” issued by virtue of Emiri Decision number 44 of 2008 provides the base for the development of a national strategy aiding in the advancement of developmental objectives.
The General Secretariat for Development Planning, under the guidance of the country’s higher administration, is responsible for coordinating the efforts for the development of the global national strategy through discussions and partnership including the private sector and civil society. The involvement of the private sector is further emphasized by a statement that achieving this vision is a national responsibility which requires the development of the necessary institutional and administrative capacities, providing public services with competence and transparency, supporting cooperation and fruitful partnerships between the public and private sectors and providing a dynamic environment for the business sector. This vision further provides that the Government guarantees the freedom of economic activity on the basis of social justice and balanced cooperation between the public and private activities in order to achieve economic and social development, increase production, achieve prosperity for the citizens and increase their living standards and provide them with work opportunities in accordance with the law and the Constitution.
In line with the above, on May 31, 2020, Qatar issued law number 12 governing partnerships between the public and private sectors (the “PPP Law”).
Partnerships between the public and the private sector must henceforth take place through a partnership agreement executed in accordance with the provisions of the PPP Law and the general partnership policy adopted by the Council of Ministers based on the recommendation of the Minister of Commerce and Industry. An exemption from the application of the PPP Law can be granted by approval of the Council of Ministers.
Partnership under the PPP Law should be one of the following types of contracts:
– Allocation of lands through leases or provision of rights to use these lands for their development by private sector entities;
– Build Operate and Transfer (BOT) type;
– Build Transfer and Operate (BTO) type;
– Build Own Operate and Transfer (BOOT) type;
– Operate and Maintenance (OM) type; and
– Any other form adopted by the Council of Ministers based on the recommendation of the Minister of Commerce and Industry.
The governmental authority or concerned administration may at its discretion or based on the proposal of the private sector identify a project to be executed through a PPP and present it to the Minister of Commerce and Industry to be approved. After that, the governmental authority concluding the partnership agreement with the private sector must prepare a report on the project concept including a briefing, a presentation on its suitability for execution through a PPP and a determination of the responsibilities of each party; this report must be presented to the Minister of Commerce and Industry for its submission with the minister’s recommendations to the president of the Council of Ministers for the latter to decide on its adoption prior to the preparation of the project study by the governmental authority as detailed below.
A PPP Committee must be appointed to assess and supervise each PPP project. The governmental authority concluding the partnership agreement with the private sector in coordination with the PPP Committee must prepare a project study addressing notably (i) the strategic and operational benefits for executing the project, (ii) the description of the project, type of contract, duration of the partnership, and (iii) a determination of the duties of the governmental authority and the project company. The project study must be presented to the Minister of Commerce and Industry for its submission with his recommendations to the president of the Council of Ministers for the latter to decide on its adoption.
The governmental authority, in coordination with the PPP Committee, should prepare the documents for the offering of the project including among others (i) the general information related to the project and needed to prepare the bid and present it, (ii) the technical and financial qualifications of the project and any other conditions that should be met by the bidders and (iii) the form of the project company and the conditions that it should meet.
The governmental authority, in coordination with the PPP Committee, must then announce the PPP project. The PPP Contract must then be initiated as a two-stage tender, a limited tender in accordance with the determined standards or acceptance qualifications, practice, competition, a bid, a direct agreement or any other contracting method adopted by the Council of Ministers based on the recommendation of the Minister of Commerce and Industry.
The selection process for the winning bid must be transparent, and comply with freedom of competition, equality of chances and equitability; and the winning bidder is required to meet the financial and technical standards, restrictions, conditions and capacities adopted in the chosen field of specialization. The PPP Law also provides that the law organizing tenders and bids and the law governing the financial system of the government do not apply to the procedures of submissions, awards, and contracts and other such procedures applied in accordance with the provisions of the PPP Law.
The main terms of the PPP agreement are set out in the PPP Law and include the nature and scope of the works or services of the project company, the terms and conditions for their implementation, the reciprocal financial commitments and their relation to the financing method, the distribution of liability in case of a change of law, surprise events, and force majeure and the indemnities decided in each case, the duration of the contract (which should not exceed 30 years, unless otherwise extended in accordance with the PPP Law) and other issues. The PPP agreement must be subject to the Qatari law. The Qatari courts must be competent to decide on the disputes arising between the parties to the PPP agreement unless a different dispute resolution mechanism is approved by the president of the Council of Ministers based on the recommendation of the Minister of Commerce and Industry.
The bidders may present their bids under a consortium formed of more than one company.
The project should be operated by a project company established for this purpose; however the PPP Law provides that the governmental authority may allow the winning bidder to execute the project under the PPP agreement without establishing a project company if the winning bidder has the capacity to execute the project in its current situation and has the available financial and technical capacities, in accordance with the documents of the offering and the conditions of evaluation included in them.
The project company should also abide by a number of restrictions imposed by the PPP Law on its shares and assets. For example, the shares of the project company may not be transferred prior to the date of completion of the construction, equipment or development works; also the shares owned by the majority controlling the capital cannot be transferred after the said date without the prior approval of the Minister of Commerce and Industry. In addition, pledge of the shares of the project company for purposes other than financing or refinancing the object of the company are prohibited.
Although in some jurisdictions the direct collection of funds from users of utilities operated under PPP projects can be complicated due to conflicting laws and regulations, the PPP Law provides that the project company may collect fees or make profit or financial gain from the project or from its assets or from its users, in accordance with what is agreed upon with the governmental authority in the PPP agreement. The project company may also, after the approval of the governmental authority and presenting the necessary guarantees, obtain a loan from the banks operating within Qatar or outside of it in guarantee of its contractual rights and assets.
The PPP Law also offers the possibility for the PPP agreement to be amended if unexpected circumstances arise after the conclusion of the agreement, including changes in laws applicable at the time of conclusion of the agreement that disrupt the financial balance in the agreement in a way that would ensure the return of the balance.
At the end of the term of the PPP agreement, the ownership of the PPP project, its facilities and equipment are transferred to the government for no consideration or compensation, unless agreed otherwise in the PPP agreement.
The Minister of Commerce and Industry will issue decisions required for implementing the provisions of the PPP Law, and until such time that they are issued, the decisions in force will continue to apply provided that they do not contradict the provisions of the PPP Law.
The issuance of the PPP Law has certainly expanded the potential for private investments and development in Qatar.
The issuance of law number 1 of 2019 regulating non-Qatari capital investments in the economy and the decision of the Minister of Commerce and Industry number 44 of 2020 providing for the implementation of law number 1 of 2019 are prime examples of Qatar’s openness to foreign investments, which Qatar seeks to attract through a number of exemptions on nationality requirements, taxes (including income and import export taxes) and other exemptions that may be granted by the Council of Ministers to foreign investors.
The PPP Law added to these exemptions that the president of the Council of Ministers may, based on the recommendation of the Minister of Commerce and Industry, exempt the project company from all or some restrictions imposed by virtue of applicable laws on companies owned by non-Qataris, including with regard to ownership of real-estate, their use or their lease. It will be interesting to watch the development of the PPP projects in Qatar and the benefits they will bring to the country and the community, both for local and international investors and for the State.

Area to be tiled
The client likes to have tiles in the area between the upper and lower cupboard. He determined the area and supplied the dimensions and photos of the present room condition.
Tile layout and design
Based on this information we made the tile layout. As the tiles are handmade every size can be realized. We determined a size which allows putting 4 full tiles of 10,4 x 10,4 cm (approx. 4x4inches) in the height. Horizontally the tiles are distributed to get a nice and even look.
As design a opulent flower garden was desired. We carried the painting as pencil drawing and part of the design as water color painting to show colors. The customer likes the design very much.
Every tile was made by hand in our studio. After having neatened the tiles they were arranged for glazing. The right photo shows the handmade character of the surface and the straightness of the setting.
After having carried out several glaze tests a very light green was selected as background for the garden and a light blue for the sky. The painting was made on the raw glaze. The so called majolica technique needs as good skill as every brushstroke stays as it was carried out.
During firing at 1070°C the glaze melted, the painting sank into the glaze and developed the final color and durability. (see photos series 6, wall 1 and 2, sky and details of the sky). A signature on the tiles confirm the uniqueness of the wall mural.
Every tile got a description on the backside to make the assemblage easy. A layout with the description was supplies as well as an instruction for the tile layer on how to arrange the edges and corners. | <urn:uuid:f3ce38f4-a4b9-4772-a4e1-159b9be43f26> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.tiny-ceramics.com/about-1/kitchen-tile-mural/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.97307 | 361 | 1.765625 | 2 |
Argues for a humanistic cultural reformation to counter our materialistic values and science-dominated intellectual life and shows how this would affect our lives and transform our society.
A Society Fit for Human Beings contends that there is a profound incoherence in the foundations of modern Western civilization and that we are on a self-destructive course. With the quest for wealth and power our dominant concern, we find ourselves with a flourishing economy and a supreme military force based on science and technology, but with our moral, civic, and religious culture undermined by our way of comprehending the world. Our human identity is problematic, the wells of meaning that nourish the human spirit are polluted or drying up, and the social order is in disarray.
This situation, E. M. Adams argues, requires nothing less than a historic cultural revolution based on a shift in priorities from wealth and power to humanistic values--those grounded in selfhood and lived experience that are essential for human growth, meaningful lives, and a healthy society. Such a shift in our governing values would require a restructuring of our intellectual vision of humankind and the world in terms of humanistic categories--those grounded in lived experience, the categories of the humanities.
This book shows the import of such a humanistic cultural revolution for our human identity, morality, the social order, and our major institutions, including the family and community, education, the economy, the government, the military, and religion. It outlines how we can work toward such a cultural revolution and develop a constructive postmodern civilization with a society fit for human beings.
E. M. Adams is Kenan Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has written many books, including Ethical Naturalism and the Modern World-View; Philosophy and the Modern Mind; The Metaphysics of Self and World: Toward a Humanistic Philosophy; and Religion and Cultural Freedom.
"This is a work of much wisdom. One can rarely read a book and then say that, if we would only follow this author's advice, the world might be saved. I had that experience in reading Adams's book. I know of no book of this scope that contains as much wisdom. " -- David Ray Griffin, School of Theology at Claremont
"I find this work significant. Adams has an important topic and treats it well. He brings philosophical insight to bear directly on political, economic, and cultural issues and problems. The topic is extremely timely and very crucial in contemporary social philosophy. "--Jerry H. Gill, author of Learning to Learn: Toward a Philosophy of Education

Losing weight is challenging no matter your fitness goals.
Creatas Images/Creatas/Getty Images
No matter what approach you use, losing 100 pounds is a lofty fitness goal that can take a year or more. When you first begin your fitness routine, you might lose weight quickly, but as your body adjusts, a healthy weight-loss routine means you'll only lose a pound or two a week. While vigorous exercise can play an important role in physical fitness, you can lose weight without pushing yourself to your breaking point every day. Before embarking on this weight loss journey, enroll the aid of your medical practitioner to ensure that your plan is healthy.
Make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your weight-loss goals. Losing large amounts of weight is challenging and certain medical conditions make it even harder. Your doctor may prescribe medications or lifestyle changes to make the process easier. Your doctor may also recommend an exercise stress test to determine whether exercise is safe for you.
Evaluate your diet. According to the Mayo Clinic and the American Council on Exercise, diet plays a slightly more important role in weight loss than exercise, so cutting calories from your diet is key. Extremely obese people may struggle to perform even simple exercises, so cutting calories can help you lose enough weight to exercise.
Determine your basal metabolic rate, which is the number of calories you need to maintain your current weight if you make no other lifestyle changes. Your doctor can help you with this. Then begin eliminating unhealthy, high-calorie foods. If you cut 500 calories a day from your diet, it will take about two years to lose 100 pounds. In general, you can expect to lose a pound for every 3,500 calories you eliminate from your diet.
Implement strategies that make dieting easier, particularly if you've historically relied on food for comfort. Cut out nutritionally empty foods, such as soda and alcohol, which can cause you to gain weight without eliminating hunger. Eating slowly helps you feel full faster. Rather than eating two or three large meals a day, try eating five smaller meals. Healthy snacks such as nuts and berries can help you feel full between meals. If you suffer from obesity-related health conditions, however, check in with your doctor before you add or eliminate any new foods.
Incorporate activity into your daily life. It's not just exercise, but any kind of movement, that helps you burn calories. This strategy is particularly helpful if you're too heavy to do intense exercise or embarrassed to go to the gym. Daily activity can also help you work up to more strenuous exercise. Try parking farther away from stores you visit, or walking or cycling to work or the train station. Take stretching breaks if you spend significant time sitting behind a desk. A pedometer can help you monitor how many steps you take each day, and 10,000 steps each day is an excellent fitness goal to strive toward. Try taking a break every hour to walk around your office, pick up around your house or play with your pet.
Get at least 150 minutes of moderate cardiovascular exercise each week to maintain your health. However, note that this isn't sufficient to lose weight. To shed pounds, you'll need 300 minutes of moderate cardio or 150 minutes of intense cardio a week. If you're not yet strong enough, start with exercise that maintains your health and gradually build to more intense physical activity. Walking is a great beginner routine, and as you gain strength, consider more vigorous workouts such as cycling or even running. Water aerobics and swimming are ideal for very obese people because your joints won't hurt and the water helps support your body weight. Incorporating a minute or two of more intense exercise into an otherwise moderate routine -- such as running in the middle of your walk -- can also help you burn a few more calories.
Do strength-training exercises at least two days a week. Although strength training burns fewer calories than aerobic exercise, it creates and maintains healthy muscles, which can make physical activity easier. Muscle also burns more calories than fat, so developing more muscle can help speed up your metabolism -- even when you're resting. | <urn:uuid:97a92320-58a8-4012-b7c5-f860de0fed06> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://tz.quelebris.com/3120-how-to-lose-100-pounds-without-hardcore-exercise.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.949154 | 865 | 2.703125 | 3 |
There are few legends whose lives have been as mythologized as Billie Holiday’s. In her 1956 autobiography, Lady Sings the Blues, Holiday and cowriter William Dufty added to her triumphant yet tragic mythos, presenting a life filled with joy, despondency, and a surprising amount of hard-edged humor.
A brilliant, generous, hard-partying artist, Holiday loved nothing more than the camaraderie of epic jam sessions with peers like Harry James, Benny Goodman, and Duke Ellington. Her romantic tastes were equally iconoclastic; allegedly, she had affairs with Charles Laughton, Tallulah Bankhead, and Orson Welles, the “finest cat” she ever met. Pugnacious as she was precocious, Holiday battled through the sadness of her life, time and time again. “I know Lady,” Louis Armstrong once said. “And when she starts crying, the next thing she’s going to do is start fighting.”
And fight she did to be true to herself and her art, no matter what the cost. “I’ve been told that nobody sings the word ‘hunger’ like I do. Or the word ‘love,’” Holiday wrote of her life experiences. “All I’ve learned in all those places from all those people is wrapped up in those two words. You’ve got to have something to eat and a little love in your life before you can hold still for any damn body’s sermons on how to behave.”
Born Eleanora Fagan in Baltimore (or some say Philadelphia) in 1915, Holiday’s childhood was marred by horrific abuse—despite the best efforts of her beloved mother, Sadie, who was only 13 when she had Holiday. Always a self-starter, Holiday began singing as a child, while cleaning neighbors’ homes for money. But she worked for free for Alice, the madame of the neighborhood brothel:
But Holiday’s world was shattered at the age of 10 when a man she calls Mr. Dick attempted to rape her. Holiday was sent to a brutal Catholic reformatory, where as punishment she was locked in a room with a dead student. At the age of 12 she was raped by a trumpet player. As a young teen, she moved to Harlem, where she became a high-class call girl. She was arrested and sentenced to four months on the notorious Welfare Island (now known as Roosevelt Island). After her release, she auditioned to sing at the Harlem speakeasy Pod’s and Jerry’s:
Holiday was on her way, but the trauma of her childhood never left her. “Things had happened to me that no amount of time could change or heal,” she writes.
“For years I used to dream about it and wake up hollering and screaming. My God, it’s terrible what something like this does to you.”
“I joined Count Basie’s band to make a little money and see the world. For almost two years I didn’t see anything but the inside of a Blue Goose bus,” Holiday writes of her time touring with the famous orchestra. “Nobody bothered to tell me I’d have to travel 500 to 600 miles on a hot or cold raggedy-ass…bus; that it would cost me two or three bucks a night for a room; that by the time I was through having my hair fixed and gowns pressed…I’d end up with about a dollar and a half a day.” | <urn:uuid:c090b241-d4fb-4111-ad0d-2d103cdd3705> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2021/02/billie-holiday-biography-lady-sings-the-blues | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571150.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810070501-20220810100501-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.976788 | 767 | 2.234375 | 2 |

Ahead of the summit of the leaders of the Group of Seven nations (G7) scheduled for June 11 to 13, 2021, Africa has sent her expectations to the leaders of the G7 nations as part of the concerns of the continent about the COVID-19 pandemic crisis.
The UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), Vera Songwe, said Africa’s concerns are captures in three key points the summit must address if the COVID-19 pandemic is to be resolved.
If the crisis associated with the pandemic is to be resolved permanently, Songwe said there was need for a “historic vaccines roadmap where the G7 must stop hoarding, start sharing the financing, the doses and the manufacturing capacity needed to deliver on vaccine access.”
For a start, Songwe said the G7 leaders must immediately approve one billion doses of the vaxxines to be donated to Africa soon, with two billion to be donated by the end of the year.
Also, she wants the ACT Accelerator and the African vaccines facility fully funded, and the technology shared so that Africa can manufacture vaccines, therapies, and diagnostics locally.
Besides, she stressed the urgent need for a historic green recovery financing and coordination agreement, leveraging the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Special Drawing Rights and the World Bank balance sheets, meeting the $100 billion climate finance pledge, and doubling individual climate change finance pledges by G7 countries to Africa.
With such support, ECA scribe said African countries would have access to liquidity and concessional finance to invest in a sustainable green jobs boom for the youth of the continent and to counter the surge of extreme poverty due to the pandemic and its aftershocks.
In addition, Songwe called for an interrogation of the decision by G7 countries’ to disproportionately cut by two-thirds aid support to Africa.
The cuts, she noted, has hit and hurt African nations, while the cut by 80-90 percent has disproportionately impacted women and the UN system agencies like United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS and UN Women.
“As an African, a woman, and working for the UN, imagine how this makes us feel about the UK as fair play partners as we face these crises together,” Songwe lamented.
The UN official’s message included a call for the British PM to “listen to the conscience within his own Conservative Party, and across the generous hearted British nation, and keep the pledge he made to Africa. This would go on record; down in history as having shown enlightened leadership on COVID-19 and on climate when the world most needed it.”
Songwe’s message was delivered on her behalf by ECA’s Director of Communications, Nita Deerpalsing, during a ONE Campaign media briefing on Thursday with former UK Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, Director of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, John N. Nkengasong, Executive Director of Advocacy, Campaign and Policy for Save the Children Fund, Kirsty McNeill, and England Rugby Player Maro Itoje.
Members of the G7 countries include the United Kingdom (UK), Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States.
They are scheduled to meet for a three-day summit in the UK from Friday with their discussions to focus mainly on issues relating to COVID-19 recovery, climate change and trade.

The UK’s medical watchdog has ruled that doctors should stop routinely doling out antidepressants to people struggling with mental health and instead offer therapy sessions as the first option.
On Tuesday, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) issued new guidance for the identification, treatment, and management of depression.
The guidance, the first in 12 years, recommends offering non-drug related treatments as a first option for people suffering from less severe depression. The treatments include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), exercise, counselling, or psychotherapy.
The body recommends a similar menu of psychological interventions, along with the option of antidepressant medication, for those requesting first-line treatment for more severe depression.
Do not routinely offer antidepressant medication as first-line treatment for less severe depression, unless that is the person’s preference.
NICE emphasized that the new guidance provides patients with the ability to choose from a range of treatments. “Practitioners should offer people a choice of evidence-based treatments and understanding that not every treatment will suit every person,” Nav Kapur, chair of the guideline committee, said in a statement.
According to the Office of National Statistics, around 17% of the British population over the age of 16 suffered from some form of depression in summer 2021. The figure is substantially higher than that observed before the pandemic, when around 10% of British adults experienced some form of depression.
The National Health Service (NHS) has long offered a range of treatments for mental health disorders, including one-to-one counselling free of charge, and a range of antidepressants. According to NHS data, more than 20 million antidepressants were prescribed between October and December 2020, representing a 6% increase compared with the same three months in 2019.

Fullerton Lawyer for Domestic Violence Cases
Domestic violence cases can include abuse or threats of abuse between persons involved in an intimate relationship. This can apply if you (1) are married or domestic partners (2) were dating or used to date (3) live or have lived together, or (4) have a child together. It can also be relevant when the abused person and the abusive person are closely related by blood or by marriage. Although many think that domestic violence is synonymous with physical abuse from one partner to the other, there are other elements that may be present that could also constitute domestic violence, including emotional and psychological abuse. Physical abuse occurs when there is force used against the victim. Regardless of whether or not the resulting injuries are major or minor, it is still considered domestic violence. Examples of physical abuse may involve hurting the victim with dangerous weapons or objects or hitting the victim. In addition, emotional abuse within relationships also occur. This is when the abuser uses tactics such as humiliation or continuous blame in order to hurt the victim. A few examples are threatening to involve physical violence or consistent insults and criticism. These tactics are meant to negatively impact the victim’s self-worth or self-identity. Both examples of domestic violence, as well as the many others, such as financial and sexual, are extremely serious and could have long lasting negative effects. Often times domestic violence restraining orders may be put in place in order to make sure that there is no more abuse or threats of abuse that may be occurring. It may make sure that the other party is paying the necessary child support, not having or owning any dangerous weaponry, or staying away from the victim, whether that be making sure that they are not physically near them or that they cannot contact them.
Unfortunately, the City of Fullerton and its police department have recently come under scrutiny for unethical arrests, charging people crimes they didn't commit, including domestic violence. You may need to contact a criminal defense attorney to defend your rights, and protect your reputation.
Fullerton domestic violence defense attorney Lauren K. Johnson often advises that "abuse," as defined in Family Code 6320, includes molesting, attacking, striking, stalking, threatening, sexually assaulting, battering, harassing and telephoning; which includes, but is not limited to annoying telephone calls. Abuse can also be kicking, shoving, pushing, pulling hair, throwing things, scaring, following or keeping someone from freely coming and going. It can even include physical abuse of the family pets.
If you've been charged or accused of any of these acts, you need to call domestic violence defense attorney Lauren K. Johnson (949) 622-5522 at once. The Johnson Criminal Law Group understands that a finding of domestic violence may have an effect on child custody and visitation orders pursuant to Family Code 3044, and can create other legal issues that last for years.
Attorney Johnson also knows that such a conviction for domestic violence can haunt a person for life. Please take a moment to call the office today to get the advocacy you need to protect yourself. | <urn:uuid:25d008a2-14d8-4d28-8214-b52b0fdbe1ce> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.californiacriminaldefender.com/fullerton-lawyer-for-domestic-violence-cases.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572408.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816151008-20220816181008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.967177 | 625 | 1.5625 | 2 |
Percentages of African-American high school seniors who smoke remain statistically similar since 1992, according to the a new paper published in Nicotine & Tobacco Research. At the same time, African-American adult smokers are more prone to continue the habit as they get older, in comparison with white smokers.
Researchers have found that 8.7 percent of African-American high school seniors smoked cigarettes in 1992. New statistics from 2014 have shown an increase of 0.3 percent. Nearly 18 of every 100 non-Hispanic Blacks (17.5 percent), smoke cigarettes in the United States, said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Numbers demonstrate that the smoking trend has remained stable during the last 22 years among African-American high school seniors. Gary Giovino, a professor at the Department of Community Health and Health Behavior, explained that the tobacco industry has made an effort to prevail among this segment.
“That the decline has stalled in the last 22 years is, to me, very sad news. I think it’s about the industry working really hard to keep this market. We always knew that could be an issue, but this is the first time we’ve ever had data on it,” Giovino said.
Results would appear to show that it’s harder for African-American adults to quit smoking, in comparison with white smokers, even when blacks start smoking later, according to a press release published by the University of Buffalo.
Phillip Gardiner of the Tobacco Related Disease Research Program, University of California Office of the President, proposes that the country should duplicate efforts and allocate more resources for prevention and cessation of smoking among the African-American community.
Menthol-flavored cigarettes are a “tragedy” for African-American smokers
Tobacco industry used menthol to hook black smokers: https://t.co/ZlaUhnqrkW
— tobacco21. ca (@tobacco21ca) April 12, 2016
The authors suggest that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration should prohibit menthol cigarettes, which are the favorite and the most sold in African-American neighborhoods. In fact, more than 80 percent of black smokers consume these products.
“The predatory marketing of menthol and other candy-flavored tobacco products to African-Americans over the past 50 years is a tragedy. A major step in fighting smoking health disparities would be for the FDA to ban the use of menthol in tobacco products.”
California is about to become the second U.S. state to raise legal age to smoke
— News Now NYC (@NewsNow_NYC) April 6, 2016
On Sunday morning, Senator Ed Hernandez said that the new bill is a great change for California, to reduce the “big tobacco’s ability to target and poison youth”, adding that benefits will come to children and the overall health of the state.
Tobacco use is the main cause of preventable death in the country, with 34,000 Californians dying every year, said the California State Senate in a press release issued Sunday.
The new tobacco bill was signed by governor Jerry Brown and will take effect on January 1, 2017. The Institute of Medicine has calculated that increasing the smoking age from 18 to 21 years, will result in 200,000 fewer premature deaths for generations born between 2000 and 2019.
Currently, tobacco use generates direct costs of $3.5 billion, to the Medi-Call system every year. In 2017, California will become the second state to raise smoking age to 21 years, after Hawaii. At the same time, 130 local municipalities in the country have taken similar measures, said the California Sate Senate.

Phase Out All Old Commercial & Private Vehicles In West Bengal - NGT Passes Slew Of Directions To Combat Pollution
The National Green Tribunal (Eastern Zone Bench, Kolkata) in a bid to combat Pollution has issued a slew of directions to the State Government. NGT has inter alia directed that all the old commercial and private vehicles in the State of West Bengal be phased out in the next six months.
"The State Government must ensure that the public transport vehicles below BS-IV are phased out in the next six months so that after six months only BS-VI vehicles would ply in the State of West Bengal including the cities of Kolkata and Howrah.", the Bench of Justice B. Amit Sthalekar and Expert Member Saibal Dasgupta directed.
With regard to Air Pollution in Kolkata and Howrah, the Bench observed thus "On the directions of the Tribunal the West Bengal Pollution Control Board had engaged CSIR-NEERI to carry out Source Apportionment Study and Development of Emission Inventory in the twin cities of Kolkata and Howrah. The said Report has been finalized and Action Plan needs to be implemented with immediate effect."
With regard to Noise Pollution, NGT held that Sound Limiters must be used in all Sound Systems/Public Address Systems for effective control of noise pollution. Further it also directed the Traffic Police to prosecute the violators of noise norms like modified motorcycles, pressure horns etc.
On disposal of municipal solid waste the bench noted "Legacy waste dumped in Dhapa and other such areas throughout the State of West Bengal requires to be treated by Bio-Mining/Bio-remediation within the specific time frame."
"Bio-mining/Bio-remediation of legacy waste should be carried out in a manner where the quantum of Bio remediation should exceed the quantum of waste being dumped to ensure successful clearance of the site by Bioremediation within the specified timeline.", NGT directed further.
The application was filed by one Subhas Datta who had appeared before the Bench in person and Advocate Nayan Chand Bihani appeared for the state and for Ministry of Environment. West Bengal Pollution Control Board was represented by Advocate Dipanjan Ghosh and Advocate Prithwish Basu appeared for Kolkata Municipal Corporation.
Earlier NGT had directed the Applicant to crystallize the issues through an affidavit, particularly in view of the various affidavits and action taken reports filed by the Department of Environment, State of West Bengal and the Kolkata Municipal Corporation. In response to which the Applicant had stated that the concerned authorities had not spelt out anything in their affidavits about the Action Plan to combat the sources of pollution and the Action Taken thereon.

*Geek Box: Basis of Circadian Rhythms
So, how and why do we even have a chronotype in the first place? It’s one of the cooler aspects of human biology, and indeed the biology of nearly all organisms on the planet. It is because of the planet we evolved on, and the fact that every day, this globe revolves around an axis with a period of 24 h.
Within this 24 h rotation, there is a light phase – when we’re facing the sun – and a dark phase – when we rotate away from the sun. The exact period of light depends on the season, which relates to the Earth’s revolving around the sun, and the latitude of the specific place you are on the planet. Virtually all organisms on the planet have evolved internal, biological rhythms to synchronise the timing of different physiological processes and related behaviours to the Earth’s daily rotation.
If we were to take you and put in a blacked-out bunker or cave, with no light or other time-cues, your circadian rhythms would still run with the same pattern, however, they would not be exactly 24 h in length [with interindividual and ethnic differences, the range of the free-running period may be between 23.7 h – 25.0 h].
To synchronise these rhythms to the exact 24 h period of the Earth’s rotation, organisms like ourselves rely on signals from the environment, of which light is the most potent. Specialised cells in your eyes have evolved with exquisite sensitivities to different intensities and spectral compositions of light, and there is a dedicated pathway going from the retina to a densely concentrated connection of neurons in the hypothalamus, known as the suprachiasmatic nucleus, or SCN for short. This is known as the ‘central clock’.
However, extending how fascinating the circadian system is, every single cell in your body has its own internal “clock”. These circadian clocks in organs and tissues, like the digestive tract, liver, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, etc., are known as the ‘peripheral clocks’. We now know that these peripheral clocks can shift, independent of the central clock, in response to other time-cues, in particular meal timing.
Humans are diurnal mammals, meaning that we are active during the day. Conversely, our mammalian cousins, rodents, are nocturnal, and their active phase is during our dark phase, i.e., night-time. The timing of food intake, when aligned to the daytime, waking and active period, serves to reinforce the synchrony of circadian rhythms with the appropriate time of day.
However, characteristics of modern society brings into collision both disruption to the circadian system [e.g., artificial light exposure, ‘social jetlag’] with traditional risk factors for cardio-metabolic disease [e.g., energy-dense food, ubiquitous food supply availability]. Consequently, the interaction between circadian rhythms and the modern environment may be important for metabolic health. | <urn:uuid:ed609f7b-0a43-4029-a416-1341238974c2> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.alineanutrition.com/modalpopupbox/geek-box-basis-of-circadian-rhythms/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.940954 | 633 | 4.15625 | 4 |
COVID-19: SIM Kenya helping the church
By Peter Okaalet and Tohru Inoue | Kenya in East Africa
Photo by SIM Stories East Africa team.
While our parents or grandparents lived through the worldwide crisis of the Great Depression, many Kenyans’ parents or grandparents also remember the Mau-Mau uprising against British colonial rule shortly after in the 1950s through the 1960s. Now, in the midst of COVID-19, our current generation is weathering its own storm.
The Presbyterian church in Kenya has had to shoulder hardships from this storm. The Secretary General of the East African branch, Rev Peter Kariuki Kania, succumbed in July 2020 following complications from COVID-19. The sting of death is near, it seems.
Peter had led an “Adopt a Family Initiative” which collected food for the vulnerable. Contributions went toward families who were no longer able to work because of COVID-19 restrictions.
Through the years, the church has always been there – offering a shoulder to cry on, or a safe place to seek answers. But the church, like any other cross-section of the world, is also full of broken and hurting people in need of a Saviour. There are those for whom job loss may be the fifth thing that has gone wrong for them in the year. So, as the church, how do we strengthen our hands for the task? How can we help hurting souls to navigate the challenges surrounding COVID-19?
The SIM Kenya team has spearheaded a multi-pronged response to this once-in-a-generation issue. Our goal is to reach out to not only churches, but also radio and television, health associations, the inter-religious council, and many other avenues.
SIM Kenya is doing this by equipping leaders through virtual trainings. By far the greatest objective of these trainings has been that of engagement and empowerment, of equipping the saints for service, and of strengthening our own hands for the task.
In November 2020, the SIM Kenya COVID-19 Project Implementing team conducted the fourth virtual gospel-based training on COVID-19. A total of 45 (26 men and 19 women) people attended. They came from seven Kenyan provinces and 22 counties.
To date, SIM Kenya has trained 225 people from four countries (Kenya – 207, Uganda – 14, Bangladesh – 3, and Zimbabwe – 1).
The Presbyterian church wanted to carry on the legacy of the late reverend and explore additional ways of reaching those affected. The Bible-based response on COVID-19 training has been a helpful tool. 34 members of the Presbyterian church have thus far been trained. In addition, the leading presbytery in East Africa, the Presbytery of Nairobi North, has adopted this training and is set to serve its estimated 37,000 congregants.
“I’ve been equipped and hope to… help others,” writes one of the trainees.
If we are to weather this storm, God will help us. As another trainee wrote: “What [am I] learning from the pandemic? That God is the source of everything, and we cannot do without him. There are things we cannot do by [ourselves], we need to depend on him.”

What Makes a Great
Talking to Phillip Lopate About Thwarted Expectations, Emerson, and the 21st-Century Essay Boom
Phillip Lopate spoke to Literary Hub about the new anthology he has edited, The Glorious American Essay. He recounts his own development from an “unpatriotic” young man to someone, later in life, who would embrace such writers as Ralph Waldo Emerson, who personified the simultaneous darkness and optimism underlying the history of the United States. Lopate looks back to the Puritans and forward to writers like Wesley Yang and Jia Tolentino. What is the next face of the essay form?
Literary Hub: We’re at a point, politically speaking, when disagreements about the meaning of the word “American” are particularly vehement. What does the term mean to you in 2020? How has your understanding of the word evolved?
Phillip Lopate: First of all, I am fully aware that even using the word “American” to refer only to the United States is something of an insult to Latin American countries, and if I had said “North American” to signify the US, that might have offended Canadians. Still, I went ahead and put “American” in the title as a synonym for the United States, because I wanted to invoke that powerful positive myth of America as an idea, a democratic aspiration for the world, as well as an imperialist juggernaut replete with many unresolved social inequities, in negative terms.
I will admit that when I was younger, I tended to be very unpatriotic and critical of my country, although once I started to travel abroad and witness authoritarian regimes like Spain under Franco, I could never sign on to the fear that a fascist US was just around the corner. I came to the conclusion that we have our faults, but our virtues as well.
The more I’ve become interested in American history, the more I’ve seen how today’s problems and possible solutions are nothing new, but keep returning in cycles: economic booms and recessions, anti-immigrant sentiment, regional competition, racist Jim Crow policies followed by human rights advances, vigorous federal regulations and pendulum swings away from governmental intervention.
Part of the thrill in putting together this anthology was to see it operating simultaneously on two tracks: first, it would record the development of a literary form that I loved, the essay, as it evolved over 400 years in this country. At the same time, it would be a running account of the history of the United States, in the hands of these essayists who were contending, directly or indirectly, with the pressing problems of their day. The promise of America was always being weighed against its failure to live up to that standard.
For instance, we have the educator John Dewey arguing for a more democratic schoolhouse, the founder of the settlement house movement Jane Addams analyzing the alienation of young people in big cities, the progressive writer Randolph Bourne describing his own harsh experiences as a disabled person, the feminist Elizabeth Cady Stanton advocating for women’s rights, and W. E. B. Dubois and James Weldon Johnson eloquently addressing racial injustice.“I wanted to show a wide variety of formal approaches, since the essay is by its very nature and nomenclature an experiment.”
Issues of identity, gender and intersectionality were explored by writers such as Richard Rodriguez, Audre Lorde, Leonard Michaels and N. Scott Momaday, sometimes with touches of irony and self-scrutiny, which have always been assets of the essay form.
LH: If a publisher had asked us to compile an anthology of 100 representative American essays, we wouldn’t know where to start. How did you? What were your criteria?
PL: I thought I knew the field fairly well to begin with, having edited the best-selling Art of the Personal Essay in 1994, taught the form for decades, served on book award juries and so on. But once I started researching and collecting material, I discovered that I had lots of gaps, partly because the mandate I had set for myself was so sweeping.
This time I would not restrict myself to personal essays but would include critical essays, impersonal essays, speeches that were in essence essays (such as George Washington’s Farewell Address or Martin Luther King, Jr’s sermon on Vietnam), letters that functioned as essays (Frederick Douglass’s Letter to His Master).
I wanted to expand the notion of what is an essay, to include, for instance, polemics such as Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, or one of the Federalist Papers; newspaper columnists (Fanny Fern, Christopher Morley); humorists (James Thurber, Finley Peter Dunne, Dorothy Parker).
But it also occurred to me that fine essayists must exist in every discipline, not only literature, which sent me on a hunt that took me to cultural criticism (Clement Greenberg, Kenneth Burke), theology (Paul Tillich), food writing (M.F. K. Fisher), geography (John Brinkerhoff Jackson), nature writing (John Muir, John Burroughs, Edward Abbey), science writing (Loren Eiseley, Lewis Thomas), philosophy (George Santayana). My one consistent criterion was that the essay be lively, engaging and intelligently written. In short, I had to like it myself.
Of course I would need to include the best-known practitioners of the American essay—Emerson, Thoreau, Mencken, Baldwin, Sontag, etc.—and was happy to do so. As it turned out, most of the masters of American fiction and poetry also tried their hand successfully at essay-writing, which meant including Nathaniel Hawthorne, Walt Whitman, Theodore Dreiser, Willa Cather, Flannery O’Connor, Ralph Ellison. . .
But I was also eager to uncover powerful if almost forgotten voices such as John Jay Chapman, Agnes Repplier, Randolph Bourne, Mary Austin, or buried treasures such as William Dean Howells’ memoir essay of his days working in his father’s printing shop.
Finally, I wanted to show a wide variety of formal approaches, since the essay is by its very nature and nomenclature an experiment, which brought me to Gertrude Stein and Wayne Koestenbaum. Equally important, I was aided in all these searches by colleagues and friends who kept suggesting other names. For every fertile lead, probably four resulted in dead ends. Meanwhile, I was having a real learning adventure.
LH: Do you have a personal favorite among American essayists? If so, what appeals to you the most about them?
PL: I do. It’s Ralph Waldo Emerson. He was the one who cleared the ground for US essayists, in his famous piece, “The American Scholar,” which called on us to free ourselves from slavish imitation of European models and to think for ourselves. So much American thought grows out of Emerson, or is in contention with Emerson, even if that debt is sometimes unacknowledged or unconscious.
What I love about Emerson is his density of thought, and the surprising twists and turns that result from it. I can read an essay of his like “Experience” (the one I included in this anthology) a hundred times and never know where it’s going next. If it was said of Emily Dickenson that her poems made you feel like the top of your head was spinning, that’s what I feel in reading Emerson. He has a playful skepticism, a knack for thinking against himself. Each sentence starts a new rabbit of thought scampering off. He’s difficult but worth the trouble.
I once asked Susan Sontag who her favorite American essayist was, and she replied “Emerson, of course.” It’s no surprise that Nietzsche revered Emerson, as did Carlyle, and in our own time, Harold Bloom, Stanley Cavell, Richard Poirier. But here’s a confession: it took me awhile to come around to him.
I found his preacher’s manner and abstractions initially off-putting, I wasn’t sure about the character of the man who was speaking to me. Then I read his Notebooks and the mystery was cracked: suddenly I was able to follow essays such as “Circles” with pure pleasure, seeing as I could the darkness and complexity underneath the optimism.
LH: You make the interesting decision to open the anthology with an essay written in 1726, 50 years before the founding of the republic. Why?
PL: I wanted to start the anthology with the first fully-formed essayistic voices in this land, which turned out to belong to the Puritans. Regardless of the negative associations of zealous prudishness that have come to attach to the adjective “puritanical,” those American colonies founded as religious settlements were spearheaded by some remarkably learned and articulate spokespersons, whose robust prose enriched the American literary canon.
Cotton Mather and Jonathan Edwards were highly cultivated readers, familiar with the traditions of essay-writing, Montaigne and the English, and with the latest science, even as they inveighed against witchcraft. I will admit that it also amused me to open the book with Cotton Mather, a prescriptive, strait-is-the-gate character, and end it with Zadie Smith, who is not only bi-racial but bi-national, dividing her year between London and New York, and whose openness to self-doubt is signaled by her essay collection title, Changing My Mind.
The next group of writers I focused on were the Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, and a foundational feminist, Judith Sargent Murray, who wrote the 1790 essay “On the Equality of the Sexes.” These authors, whose essays preceded, occurred during or immediately followed the founding of the republic, were in some ways the opposite of the Puritans, being for the most part Deists or secular followers of the Enlightenment.
Their attraction to reasoned argument and willingness to entertain possible objections to their points of view inspired a vigorous strand of American essay-writing. So, while we may fix the founding of the United States to a specific year, the actual culture and literature of the country book-ended that date.
LH: You end with Zadie Smith’s “Speaking in Tongues,” published in 2008. Which essay in the last 12 years would be your 101st selection?
PL: Funny you should ask. As it happens, I am currently putting the finishing touches on another anthology, this one entirely devoted to the Contemporary (i.e., 21st century) American Essay. I have been immersed in reading younger, up-and-coming writers, established mid-career writers, and some oldsters who are still going strong (Janet Malcolm, Vivian Gornick, Barry Lopez, John McPhee, for example).
It would be impossible for me to single out any one contemporary essayist, as they are all in different ways contributing to the stew, but just to name some I’ve been tracking recently: Meghan Daum, Maggie Nelson, Sloane Crosley, Eula Biss, Charles D’Ambrosio, Teju Cole, Lia Purpura, John D’Agata, Samantha Irby, Anne Carson, Alexander Chee, Aleksander Hemon, Hilton Als, Mary Cappello, Bernard Cooper, Leslie Jamison, Laura Kipnis, Rivka Galchen, Emily Fox Gordon, Darryl Pinckney, Yiyun Li, David Lazar, Lynn Freed, Ander Monson, David Shields, Rebecca Solnit, John Jeremiah Sullivan, Eileen Myles, Amy Tan, Jonathan Lethem, Chelsea Hodson, Ross Gay, Jia Tolentino, Jenny Boully, Durga Chew-Bose, Brian Blanchfield, Thomas Beller, Terry Castle, Wesley Yang, Floyd Skloot, David Sedaris. . .
Such a banquet of names speaks to the intergenerational appeal of the form. We’re going through a particularly rich time for American essays: especially compared to, 20 years ago, when editors wouldn’t even dare put the word “essays” on the cover, but kept trying to package these variegated assortments as single-theme discourses, we’ve seen many collections that have been commercially successful and attracted considerable critical attention.
It has something to do with the current moment, which has everyone more than a little confused and therefore trusting more than ever those strong individual voices that are willing to cop to their subjective fears, anxieties, doubts and ecstasies.
The Glorious American Essay, edited by Phillip Lopate, is available now.

LEPA - Louisiana Energy and Power Authority
Most of us don't think about how power gets to our homes - we just realize how important it is in our daily lives when it goes out. So where does the Town of Welsh get it's electrical power?
Welsh is one of seventeen cities and towns in Louisiana that maintain it's own independent municipal electrical power system. Sixteen of these cities and towns, including Welsh, are members of the Louisiana Energy and Power Authority (LEPA)
LEPA is a non-profit, joint-action agency created by the State Legislature in 1979 to provide a reliable and economic supply of electrical power and energy to member municipalities. LEPA is authorized in joint ownership of large generating plants with other utilities.
Each member city is represented by an individual who serves on the LEPA Board of Directors. LEPA utilized the most efficient power sources out of a pool of resources to control the power costs of its members, and transports this electricity to participating member cities and towns through its computerized Energy Control Center located just outside Lafayette | <urn:uuid:fc277e9b-a690-4cfd-8891-a6654c9ce8e8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.townofwelsh.com/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571758.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812200804-20220812230804-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.966144 | 277 | 2.03125 | 2 |
Young offender who stabbed teen at knife awareness course found guilty of murder
Vladimir Nachev stabbed Hakim Sillah twice in the chest with a "cruel irony" during the training session, a court heard.
Monday 3 August 2020 22:16, UK
A young offender has been found guilty of murder after he stabbed another teenager to death at a knife awareness course.
Vladimir Nachev, 18, attacked Hakim Sillah twice in the chest with a "cruel irony" during the training session, Isleworth Crown Court heard.
Nachev stabbed him in a "rapid sequence of infliction" at Hillingdon Civic Centre in Uxbridge, west London, last November.
Mr Sillah, 18, was taken to Hillingdon Hospital, but died later the same day.
Nachev, of West End Lane in Harlington, Hayes, was convicted of one count of murder and one count of wounding with intent.
Jurors were told the two young men were not friends but had a relationship "resulting from their involvement in the street selling of drugs in and around Hayes".
Multiple witnesses described how, after arriving at the training session late on 7 November, Nachev immediately "went for" Mr Sillah in "an eruption of violence".
Judge Pushpinder Saini QC said the witnesses had referred to Nachev as "the aggressor" and "had the better of (Mr Sillah) throughout".
"This was a very fast moving and violent situation that was over in seconds," he said.
Nachev claimed his actions at the civic centre were in self-defence, telling a youth worker after the incident that he needed the knife "for my own protection".
"Vladimir told me 'they were punching me and filming me that's why I did it'," the youth worker said, adding he had been "sobbing and crying" on the phone.
"(He said) they were laughing and taking the mick out of me. I took out the knife. I didn't want to hurt him, I just wanted him to stop punching me."
Nachev said he had intended to stab Sillah in the arm, but he had moved and the blade went into his chest instead.
The course, run by the Youth Offending Teams, was for those aged under 18 with a previous offence related to weapons.
All participants at the session had been risk assessed and "those classified as high risk were precluded from attending", the trial heard.
The court was shown footage of an incident in September where Mr Sillah was threatened and assaulted by an unidentified person.
A second incident happened later that month in which Mr Sillah suffered three stab wounds but said he again could not identify his attacker.
The prosecution alleged Nachev was the assailant both times and his behaviour showed a "hostile" attitude towards Mr Sillah that led to his death.
Nachev is due to be sentenced on 7 September. | <urn:uuid:d2d4adfc-a111-4e1c-8ed9-6ac25b311838> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://news.sky.com/story/young-offender-who-stabbed-teen-at-knife-awareness-course-convicted-of-murder-12041852?dcmp=snt-sf-twitter | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572408.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816151008-20220816181008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.990256 | 621 | 1.53125 | 2 |
Management makes many representations to the auditor both oral and written in response to specific inquiries or through the financial statements during audit. Such representations from management are part of the audit evidence the independent auditor obtains.
Types of Representations
a) Written representations
The auditor obtains written representations from management to complement other auditing procedures. In many cases, the auditor applies auditing procedures specifically designed to obtain audit evidence concerning matters that also are the subject of written representations
Purpose of a letter of representation
To obtain written audit evidence on matters that are material to the financial statements when other sufficient appropriate audit evidence cannot reasonably be expected to exist
Although cannot substitute evidence, it may be the only evidence available.
Ensures that directors acknowledge their collective responsibility for the presentation and approval of the financial statements since it is signed those with knowledge of the matters concerned, on behalf of management.
The letter also seeks to confirm oral representations made management during the course of the audit and also provide corroborative audit evidence.
Auditors therefore obtain written representations from management on material matters where other sufficient appropriate audit evidence cannot reasonably be expected to exist.
Form and contents of the letter of representation
The letter of representation is usually drafted the auditor and addressed to the auditor. The letter should be dated as near as practicable (but not after) the date of the audit report. It may include the following statements.
The written representation letter relates to the audit of the client company.
The management of the entity have fulfilled their responsibilities for the preparation of the procurement records, and the procurement records give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement.
The assumptions made management to make procurement estimates and reach fair values are reasonable.
Related party relationships and transactions have been disclosed.
All events after the reporting period have been either adjusted or disclosed.
The effect of any uncorrected misstatements (a list of which should be attached to the letter) is immaterial.
The auditors have been provided with all relevant material, including the books of account, and unrestricted access to individuals within the entity.
All transactions have been recorded and are included in the procurement records
b) Oral representations
Auditors ask many questions to the officials and employees of client company throughout the audit. The questions may cover a range of topics from the location of records and document, reasons for unusual account procedures and probability of collecting overdue accounts receivable. In making inquiries, the auditor should consider the knowledge, objectivity, experience, responsibility and qualifications of individuals being questioned and use carefully structured questions to address relevant issues. Client replies should be carefully evaluated as appropriate and followed up with additional questions. Generally, oral client representations are not sufficient themselves but they may be useful in disclosing situations that require investigation or in corroborating other forms of evidence.
Refuses to provide a letter of representation.
Management maybe unwilling to sign letters of representations. In situations where the management declines to sign letters of representations, the auditor should inform management that he will himself prepare a statement in writing setting out his understanding of any representations that may have been made in the course of the audit and then sends this statement to management with a request for confirmation that the auditor’s understanding of the representation is correct. Discussions should be held to clarify the matters in doubt if management disagrees with the auditor’s statement of representation, and if necessary a revised statement prepared and agreed. Should management fail to reply the auditor should follow the matter up to try to ensure that his understanding of the position as set out in his statement is correct.
In rare circumstances the auditor may be completely unable to obtain written representations, which he requires because of refusal management to co- operate, or because management properly declines to give representations required on the grounds of its own uncertainty regarding that particular issue.
In such circumstances the auditor may have to conclude that he has not received all the information and explanations required and consequently may need to consider qualifying his audit report on the grounds of limitation in the scope of the audit. | <urn:uuid:666e05bb-7d98-4eb1-b107-7b40097b6abe> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://ebookskenya.co.ke/management-representations/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572408.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816151008-20220816181008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.949881 | 812 | 2.203125 | 2 |
What is real estate?
For most people in New Brunswick who buy or sell real estate, the term refers to their home. Buying a first home (whether house, townhouse, condo, or other form), and then maybe selling your home later and buying a new one, is how the typical New Brunswicker gets involved in the real estate market. The home is both a place to live, and an investment. It’s your home because you and your family live in it—of course. And it’s an investment, because as the real estate market rises or falls in your area of New Brunswick, you gain or lose equity.
But the term “real estate” refers to more than just buying and selling houses. Real estate is the property, the land itself, buildings on the land, air rights above the land, and underground rights below the land. There are four types of real estate, as outlined below.
Residential real estate
Most commonly in New Brunswick, residential real estate refers to single-family homes. But there are also condominiums, co-ops, townhouses, duplexes, and other forms of residence.
Commercial real estate
This refers to any property used to produce income. It includes things like malls, medical and educational buildings, hotels, offices, and apartment buildings.
Industrial real estate
This category includes warehouses and manufacturing buildings. These properties are typically used for the production, storage, and distribution of goods or services.
As you’d expect, this category includes vacant land, but also such things as farms and ranches.
Real Estate Investing
When you buy a house, you may not think of yourself as a real estate investor, but that’s exactly what you are. This means you should think of your purchase as more than just a place for you and your family to live. You should consider questions such as whether the house is likely to rise in value while you own it, and how future interest rates might affect you and your investment.
You can also invest in real estate for the sole purpose of trying to make a profit. One way to do this is to “flip” a house (when you buy a house to improve then sell it). Or, you could own several homes and rent them out, for example.
You’ll probably need a mortgage
Unless you have hundreds of thousands of dollars saved up, you’ll probably be in the market for a mortgage. The majority of New Brunswickers need one to buy a home.
A mortgage is a loan that can help you finance the purchase of your home. To be more exact, a mortgage is a legal agreement in which property is used as security for the repayment of a loan. If all the terms of the mortgage are met, the borrower, you, will own the property outright by the end of the specified period—usually 25 years.
Before you begin looking for a mortgage, or house hunting, you’ll need to consider how much house you can afford. The typical rule of thumb is to find a house that costs less than 2.5 times your gross annual salary.
Before a bank will issue a mortgage, you’ll need to provide proof that you have homeowners’ insurance.
It helps to get pre-approved for a mortgage before house-hunting, so you know for sure how much house you can afford. Learn more about mortgages.
Professionals involved in real estate transactions
You may work with several companies or professionals when buying, selling or building a home.
Real estate agents: A company or individual that helps consumers buy and sell property. They must be licensed by FCNB.
Real estate salesperson: Works for the agent and helps buyers and sellers navigate the process of buying and selling a home on behalf of the agent. They must be licensed by FCNB.

Lawyers: Help buyers and sellers review and understand important documents, such as offer and acceptance letters, before signing.
Personal bankers: Work with their clients to help the client secure a mortgage to finance the purchase of a home.
Mortgage brokers and associates: Act as intermediaries between borrowers and lenders. They must be licensed by FCNB.
Home inspectors: Assess the condition of a home, to help you make an informed decision when buying a home.
Real estate appraisers: Help determine the value of a home by providing an impartial opinion after conducting a full analysis and evaluation of the property.
Builders and contractors: If you’re building your own home, you might use the services of a builder or contractor.
Insurance agent or broker: An insurance provider can help you protect your home with home insurance. They must be licensed by FCNB. | <urn:uuid:a4359921-97e4-4be3-851f-0865d985a918> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://fcnb.ca/en/real-estate | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.96238 | 1,017 | 2.5625 | 3 |
