Artist Statement :
He being an institute on his own, had a dream :
“ I have been working out an idea to setup an establishment where all the schools of traditional handlooms can join hands especially for their technical expertise as well as to express classical, aesthetics and artistic richness of heritage of India. The aim here, is to explore the skills. Artist will not only work for themselves to continue the dyeing forms of art, but they will also pass on their skills and vision by training the new generation of dedicated students. Further the project aims at providing a common platform to the artists, art lovers and art collectors not only from India but from across the world.
Not financial but moral support from any where and from any one, will give tremdouens encouragement to the establishment.”

How to Make Stairs Safe for Seniors
- Get a stairlift. The safest way for seniors to get up and down the stairs is by using a stairlift.
- Add railings.
- Eliminate carpet runners.
- Add non-slip strips.
- Add a resting spot.
- Check the lights.
- Keep the path clear.
- Use contrasting colors.
How do you make stairs easier to climb for the elderly?
Another is to install anti-slip tape, abrasive treads, carpeting, or rubberized treads on each step. For staircases that are already carpeted, ensure that those carpets remain tightly secured against the floor. In many cases, helping the elderly with stairs can be as simple as adding handrails.
How do you stop an older person from falling down the stairs?
Falls are serious for anyone, but for a senior they are even more dangerous because of the potential ramifications of a fall. Thankfully, you do have options to help prevent falls at home and keep your senior loved one safe.
How can I increase the safety of my stairs?
Install highly visible handrails on both sides of the stairs. Handrails should be at a consistent height above stair nosings, ramp surfaces and walking surfaces. Top of handrail gripping surfaces should be 34 inches (86.5 cm) minimum and 38 inches (96.5 cm) maximum vertically above the stair nosing (see Figure 1.).
Are stairs bad for elderly?
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) reports that over 60% of accident-related deaths amongst the elderly are due to falls involving stairs or steps, while further studies show people over the age of 75 are as much as five times more likely than younger people to experience a stair-related injury.
Why do old people have trouble climbing stairs?
As we get older, we lose muscle strength and flexibility (although the right exercises can go a long way to maintaining this). Problems with vision contribute significantly to the difficulties older people experience going down the stairs. Any dizziness or unsteadiness will be much worse on the stairs.
Should elderly climb stairs?
Stair climbing increases leg power and may be an important priority in reducing the risk of injury from falls in the elderly. Stair climbing can help you achieve and maintain a healthy body weight. Stair climbing can help you build and maintain healthy bones, muscles and joints.
How can senior falls be prevented?
Take the Right Steps to Prevent Falls
- Stay physically active.
- Have your eyes and hearing tested.
- Find out about the side effects of any medicine you take.
- Get enough sleep.
- Limit the amount of alcohol you drink.
- Stand up slowly.
- Use an assistive device if you need help feeling steady when you walk.
How can accidents be prevented on stairs?
How to avoid Accidents in the Stairs of your Home
- Never rush down the stairs.
- Keep the steps clear and in good conditions.
- Always clean your stairs from the top down.
- Make sure you keep the stairs well illuminated at night.
How do I stop falling down the stairs?
7 Steps to Avoiding Falls on the Stairs
- Make sure your stairway is well lit.
- Use a strong handrail.
- Wear shoes with rubber soles.
- Exercise, even just a little.
- Get your vision checked regularly.
- Give your stairway a second look.
- Choose a quality stair lift.
How do I make my steep stairs safer?
Restructuring a steep staircase usually means the loss of living space on one or both of the floors connected by the staircase. To make the stairs safer to climb and descend, you must reduce stair riser height and increase tread depth. There is no simple fix for steep stairs, complete remodeling is necessary.
Which of the following are practices that help make using stairs safer?
Follow these tips to stay safe on stairways:
- Use handrails.
- Put your mobile device away.
- Take one step at a time.
- Make sure you can see the stairs.
- Keep stairways clear of clutter.
- Carry only what you can handle, leaving one hand free to use the handrail.
- Do not underestimate the risk of using the stairs.
How do handrails on stairs keep you safe?
Stair handrails The prime function of the handrail is for holding as support while going up or down stairs. Handrails must be “graspable”. It is therefore crucial to be able to grasp it quickly, easily and firmly if you should start losing your balance.
What can you use instead of stairs?

The most interesting thing about LittleCMS is how quickly it has become a very critical building block for UNIX desktops. Let's enumerate some of the pieces of software impacted by any lcms vulnerabilities:
- OpenJDK. OpenJDK uses lcms to parse colour profiles embedded in JPEG or BMP files. OpenJDK is on the default browser attack surface of a lot of Linux installations, e.g. Fedora 10.
- Firefox. Firefox 3.1beta uses lcms to parse colour profiles embedded in JPEG files -- by default. (Firefox 3.0 has this ability but not by default, so thankfully this can be addressed before 3.1 goes production).
- GIMP. GIMP uses the system liblcms library to parse colour profiles embedded in at least JPEG files.
Finally, some notes on the various Linux system protections that do or don't help defend against the exploit for this stack-based buffer overflow:
- My exploit targets, but is not limited to, systems with executable heaps. Interestingly 32-bit Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop shows the heap as non-executable in
/proc/<pid>/maps, but it lies because the installed kernel is non-PAE.
- For systems with non-executable heaps, such as 64-bit Ubuntu 8.10 on my desktop, an exploit is still possible because you can point registers other than
ripinto the heap (e.g.
rbp). I've not written this exploit.
- Systems with stack smashing detection, such as Fedora 10, do make the exploit hard or impossible. However, the somewhat risky OpenJDK package on such a system is not compiled with stack smashing detection, leaving the default browsing experience vulnerable.
- I noticed that the Fedora 10 stack smashing detection does not exit cleanly, but gives a SIGSEGV. On 32-bit, the faulting instruction is
%eax == 0x1. Stack frames is
__stack_chk_fail __fortify_fail __libc_message backtrace _Unwind_Backtrace ??. Leave a comment if you know what's going on.

15,000 holiday food packages were distributed in all of the organization’s branches throughout Israel. The packages included special items for the holiday such as wine, honey, candies and more.
The packages were distributed to the needy, Holocaust survivors, and disadvantaged families. Furthermore, each Meir Panim food center hosted a Rosh Hashanah holiday meal for needy people who were thus able to embark on the New year with a warm meal. The Israeli hotel chains rose to the challenge as their renowned professional chefs prepared the delicious gourmet meals that were then sent to the soup kitchens. Over 7,000 diners participated in these Rosh Hashanah meals.
On Sukkot, which is known for its custom of honoring special guests, specially decorated sukkahs accommodated Meir Panim’s needy guests. Kleizmer bands brought good cheer and music to the diners on the festival and at the “Simchat Beit HaShoeva”.
This year, Meir Panim will continue its tradition of focusing its efforts on diminishing the number of people in the poverty circle. The organization will continue to provide training for single mothers and Ethiopian immigrants and to help create places of employment for special populations.
“We all hope that with the end of the present year, we will see the fulfillment of the divine promise: “The year and its curses will end.” With the new year, we will continue to bring light and hope to people’s hearts, [while praying] that the number of people who need us will decrease,”stated Mr. Yosef Lefkovitz, Meir Panim‘s executive director. | <urn:uuid:1d6158ea-fdb6-4920-9a37-816a82fb2967> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://meirpanim.org/over-7600-guest-diners-at-meir-panim-sukkahs-in-5768/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570741.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808001418-20220808031418-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.962074 | 346 | 1.757813 | 2 |
THREE-ACT STRUCTURE | Author LaQueisha Malone
Break your story down into three story ACTs. These acts will help guide your story. Act I – should lead to the lead to the incident that pushes you Lead into the middle. Act II – is the battle of the opposing forces. Act III – usually the major setback, crisis, or forces that enables the final battle.
- Introduce the Lead in a compelling way.
- Present the story world – say something about the setting and the time.
- Establish the tone the reader will rely on.
- Compel the reader to move to move on to the middle.
- Introduce the opposite.
- Deepen character relationships.
- Keep us caring about what happens.
- Set up the final battle that will wrap things up at the end.
- Present the final battle.
- Tie up any loose ends.
- Leave readers with a feeling of satisfaction.
This form of outlining can help keep your story structured. It can take some time to learn, but it can offer a roadmap. Your characters may change you mind, but a common goal is formed and navigation to the end is easier to see with this method.
Not everyone uses outlines. Some authors just write and let the characters tell the story, but by the end, they can break their story down into these three acts.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (R) and German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier shake hands during a joint news conference in Jerusalem May 31, 2015 (Photo: Reuters)
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday he was committed to the establishment of a Palestinian state, calling on the Palestinian leadership to return to negotiations unconditionally.
"I remain committed to the idea that the only way we can achieve a lasting peace is through the concept of two states for two peoples -- a demilitarised Palestinian state that recognises the Jewish nation state of Israel," he said.
Netanyahu spoke after talks with visiting German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
He said they had discussed "our common quest to move forward on peace with the Palestinians".
"I think the only way to move that is through direct negotiations. Unfortunately, the Palestinian Authority has moved away from these negotiations," Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu sparked international concern when he ruled out the establishment of a Palestinian state while campaigning for the March 17 general election but later backtracked on the comments.
Prospects for a renewal of the peace talks, which fell apart in April 2014, look bleak with the lack of trust between the sides exacerbated by the formation of Netanyahu's new hardline coalition.
"Tell the Palestinians to stop their campaign to delegitimise Israel. Tell them to get back to the negotiating table. Tell them that we should negotiate without preconditions," Netanyahu said to Steinmeier.
In a meeting in Ramallah with the top German diplomat, Palestinian premier Rami Hamdallah reiterated "the Palestinian leadership's commitment to the two-state solution based on 1967 borders," with east Jerusalem its capital.
Steinmeier will on Monday travel to the Gaza Strip, where large swathes of the coastal territory razed during the 2014 Israeli assault have yet to be rebuilt.
Also on Sunday, Israeli cabinet secretary Avihai Mandelblit announced that Benny Begin, a member of Netanyahu's Likud party, had stepped down as minister.
Begin had been sworn in earlier this month as a minister without portfolio, but on Friday submitted his resignation to keep the number of ministers at 20, after Gilad Erdan, also of the Likud, belatedly joined the cabinet as internal security minister.

Kidney stones are made of salts and minerals in the urine that stick together to form small “pebbles.” They can be as small as grains of sand or as large as golf balls. They may stay in your kidneys or travel out of your body through the urinary tract. The urinary tract is the system that makes urine and carries it out of your body. It is made up of the kidneys, the tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder (the ureters), the bladder, and the tube that leads from the bladder out of the body (the urethra).
Erectile dysfunction, or ED, is the inability to achieve or sustain an erection suitable for sexual intercourse.

The author, Wellesley historian Quinn Slobodian, contends that the "neoliberal
" institutions of today--by which he means the World Trade Organization (WTO), the World Bank, and an assortment of international trade conventions--are the progeny of the aforementioned classical liberals of the early 20th century.
Thus, whilst the broad impetus towards competition might align with neoliberal
instincts, a research environment that is increasingly centrally directed and reliant upon subjective assessments of quality does not accord well with leading neoliberals
Is the much discussed populism that is emerging from the ruins of the neoliberal
order simply a right-wing phenomenon, as it may seem given the prominence gained by the politics of hate of Trump and Le Pen?
(7) Fraser maintains that second-wave feminism's ultimate privileging of recognition (i.e identity claims) over redistribution (i.e economic justice) is responsible for the convergence of contemporary feminism with neoliberal
They added: "The increase in inequality engendered by financial openness and austerity might itself undercut growth, the very thing that the neoliberal
agenda is intent on boosting.
This conceptualisation presents an opportunity for more effective criticism of neoliberal
Neoliberalism has its origins in the Mont Pelerin Society, which was formed by Austrian economist Friedrich von Hayek in 1947, and whose luminaries included other icons of neoliberal
thought such as Ludwig von Mises and Milton Friedman.
MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: HAYEK, FRIEDMAN, AND THE BIRTH OF NEOLIBERAL
Although American neoliberals
celebrated Milton Friedman's and George Stigler's famous 1946 essay attacking rent control, "Roofs or Ceilings?", rent control was, and remains, a minor, localized phenomenon here, while public housing--as Jones correctly notes--was aimed not at the middle class but at the poor.
Consider Jones' description of neoliberalism's evolution from the late 1940s to the '70s: "The early neoliberals
were marked by their desire to move beyond both laissez-faire economics and the New Deal.
Friedrich Hayek, well known for the notion that socialism is 'the road to serfdom', founded the Mont Pelerin Society in 1947 in order to reconvene the neoliberal
intellectuals and politicians.
According to William Robinson (2008) in Latin America and Global Capitalism, the past 40 years have witnessed Latin America's political-economic transformation as countries reject statist national development strategies in favor of reforms designed to facilitate global neoliberal | <urn:uuid:11fe8cff-8029-43b5-b58a-ca988fd2a17e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Neoliberals | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570741.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808001418-20220808031418-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.903241 | 548 | 2.140625 | 2 |
Two Boaters Rescued Off Honokohau Harbor
Two people were rescued Saturday morning near Honokohau Harbor by the United States Coast Guard.
The individuals were aboard an 18-foot trimaran that became disabled, according the Coast Guard, and was taking in water.
Crewmembers aboard the Maritime Safety and Security Team Honolulu 91107 were notified that the trimaran was in distress.
Fourteen minutes later, crew members from the MSST 91107 arrived on scene in a 25-foot response boat. Upon arrival, the trimaran was found partially submerged. It was towed back to Honokohau Harbor.
Coast Guard officials say the MSST 91107 was patrolling the area while enforcing Operation Dry Water. The annual campaign occurs nationwide, raising awareness of dangers caused by boating under the influence. | <urn:uuid:8adf94c7-9766-4700-9b77-96e6cad1dabc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://bigislandnow.com/2015/06/27/two-boaters-rescued-off-honokohau-harbor/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.980064 | 167 | 1.609375 | 2 |
Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFRT) is a training method used to improve strength gains and increase muscle mass using low-load techniques. This is great for clients who have undergone surgery; total hip replacement, total knee replacement, ACL, rotator cuff, etc and are not able to lift heavier weights or participate fully in cardio due to protocol. BFRT is also used for the athlete population who would like to improve muscle strength without heavy lifting and possible injury.
A cuff is used around the upper or lower limbs and inflated (by a PT) to a certain pressure in order to constrict blood flow in that area. By doing this, we cause a decrease in oxygen coming to the muscle which in turn allows the muscle to build up lactic acid and turn on our bigger/faster muscle fibers called Type II fibers which lead to increased protein synthesis (big breath here, it will all make sense, I promise). This allows those clients to continue to build muscle without causing damage to the structures they need to protect.
Now, not to continue to bore you with the science and physiology of this – here is an example of how this is used in our Physical Therapy Clinic.
If a client comes in following total knee replacement or ACL surgery, a protocol is in place to protect the joint and muscles around that particular area. For the client to gain strength without straining the area that has just been operated on, we can use BFRT. This will slow down the process of muscle atrophy (wasting) and allow the client to build muscle and increase strength safely.
Client is seated on mat table. Cuff is placed around top of the thigh and inflated to the proper pressure needed to decrease blood flow to the thigh muscles for a short period of time. The client is instructed in leg exercises that you would normally do with higher weights/body weight and instead can do with light weights to get similar results. This allows the client to fully participate in physical therapy without causing injury while GAINING strength. Here is an example of one exercise being done to improve quadricep strength using the BFR cuff.
But how is restricting blood flow not dangerous??? Research studies have shown that the negatives to this treatment are extremely low. Symptoms such as redness in the area or feeling of numbness (goes away when cuff is taken off) are the most common. Physical therapists who are trained in this technique have proper training to ensure your safety. Your PT will evaluate you and go over your medical history prior to introducing this method of strength training.

The Radon Health Mines in Boulder, Montana, opened in the 1950s in order to claim various natural resources in a time when not much was understood about the effects of radiation on the human body. The vast majority of opinion is that radon is not good for you; in fact, federal safety standards have been set regarding the presence of this gas in your home. This gas is naturally produced by the earth, and in areas where it is prevalent it has all but skewered the real estate market. That said, there is a mountainous region of Montana, in between Boulder and Basin, where radon is looked upon much less ominously.
There are six now-defunct mines outside of Helena that attract hundreds of ailing visitors who not only relax amidst the gaseous fumes, but who also drink water that has been tinged with this radioactivity, claiming it improves their health. Many of these travelers are Amish or Mennonite, and claim it not only alleviates their ailments, such as asthma, chronic emphysema, and lupus, but for some it actually eradicates them.
The various mines in the region have quite colorful names, like Sunshine Health Mine, and boast levels of radon at nearly 180 times that of the standard regarded as safe. At the same time, mines such as Radon Tunnel or Merry Widow, have been praised for providing visitors with full recoveries and even cancer remissions just by walking through these passageways. It has even been reported that visitors who arrived in a wheelchair could walk out on their own two feet.
It is recommended that visitors plan a stay of one to two weeks in order to experience the full effect of the claimed healing properties. The actual time permitted per visit will vary depending on the exact radiation levels of the mine you choose.
While it isn’t yet known if the faith of the ill has anything to do with these miraculous healing powers, some scientists have said that the gas could actually be stimulating the nervous system of the visitor, helping their body to heal itself. Whatever the case may be, it might be worth a visit to Boulder, Montana to find out for yourself. There is a low per-hour charge for treatments, and you can call ahead to 406.225.3670 to find out more. | <urn:uuid:5172529a-9b39-452e-b4fd-d74b1fae2843> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.directsupplynetwork.net/radon-health-mines-boulder-montana.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570741.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808001418-20220808031418-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.970712 | 468 | 2.390625 | 2 |

You will need
- - dainty;
- - tin;
- - buttons or cereals;
- - dog repeller.
Surely some compassionate residents feeds a stray dog, once she decided to settle in your yard. Talk to this person and ask them to stop feeding. If you explain that the dog is showing aggression to passers-by, no one will accuse you of cruelty. The animal, realizing that he doesn't fall to tidbits, and leave to look for another place.
Dogs dwell there, where they have a good food supply. If some nice man lured dog into your yard, act the same way. Perhaps nearby there's an abandoned building or a vacant lot where the animal will not be anyone to interfere. Using food luring a stray dog to a new place of residence. She will remain there and will not interfere with anyone.
Often cowardly pooch. This dog will run away, frightened by loud sounds. Prepare some "sumalak" - pour in the tin of cereals or buttons. Go outside, menacingly prekretnica on the animal and use your rattle, creating so much noise. Dog, tail between his legs, retires. If required, this scare has to be repeated several times.
There are special repellents dogs. The essence of this device is that when turning on it starts to emit sounds at a frequency that is inaudible to man, but is perceived as sensitive a dog's ear. These animals unpleasant sounds, and they don't come to their source. There are repellents with different radii of action, and you can pick up a device that will banish the dog from your territory.
Please see the forum "Dog and cat" or in another volunteer organization operating in your city. Maybe the dog will take the animal lovers (over a certain amount or for free), and then rubbed her to a shelter or taking on overexposure. | <urn:uuid:59b20b26-cab2-417c-ad4c-c31693016924> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://eng.kakprosto.ru/how-130793-how-to-kick-a-stray-dog | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.962113 | 412 | 2.046875 | 2 |
Bharti Airtel and Nokia have successfully conducted India’s first 5G trial in the 700 MHz band on the outskirts of Kolkata.
Airtel has been allotted test spectrum in multiple bands by the government’s Department of Telecommunications for the validation of 5G technology and use cases.
Leveraging the enhanced propagation characteristics of the 700 MHz band, Airtel and Nokia were able to achieve high speed wireless broadband network coverage of 40 Km between two 3GPP standard 5G sites in real life conditions. Airtel used equipment from Nokia’s 5G portfolio, which included Nokia AirScale radios and standalone (SA) core.
Randeep Singh Sekhon, CTO, Bharti Airtel said, “Back in 2012, Airtel launched India’s first 4G service in Kolkata. Today, we are delighted to conduct India’s first 5G demo in the coveted 700 MHz band in the city to showcase the power of this technology standard. We believe that with the right pricing of 5G spectrum in the upcoming auctions, India can unlock the digital dividend and build a truly connected society with broadband for all.”
Naresh Asija, VP and Head of Bharti CT, Nokia said, “5G deployment using 700 MHz spectrum is helping communications service providers across the world to cost-effectively provide mobile broadband in remote areas, where typically it is challenging for them to set up the network infrastructure. Nokia is at the forefront in the development of the global 5G ecosystem, and we look forward to supporting Airtel on its 5G journey.” | <urn:uuid:f6942162-64f1-400e-885b-4423cdb8b22a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.digianalysys.com/airtel-and-nokia-conducts-indias-first-5g-trial-in-the-700-mhz-band/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573623.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819035957-20220819065957-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.914085 | 341 | 1.640625 | 2 |
Miley Cyrus gave us so much that night. Just trying to count her blessings smacks of ingratitude, like regifting manna.
But two months later, as we attempt reentry into our dreary little lives, it’s worth remembering two articles that followed her star-turn at the Video Music Awards. In a merciless editorial, The Onion mocked journalists for publishing so much “stupid bullshit” about the pop star. A few days later, New York magazine found that Americans were 12 times more interested in Cyrus than in whatever was happening in Syria.
Together, these two pieces frame the plight of the media, circa 2013: Sites that sell advertising have a strong incentive to crank out the editorial equivalent of empty calories. It's probably only a slight exaggeration to say that on the morning after Cyrus’s performance, any story that wasn't about twerking was leaving money on the table.
Tony Haile, the CEO of a New York company called Chartbeat, didn’t create this perverse incentive structure, but he has almost certainly made it worse. Chartbeat enables websites to see how many concurrent visitors they have at a given moment and shows, in real-time, which articles are most popular. This instant feedback can help sites maximize their traffic through tactics like story placement and social media.
The media is addicted. Since Chartbeat launched in 2009, the company says its client list has grown to include 40 of the top 50 U.S. publishers by traffic. The New York Times, ESPN, CNN and, yes, Salon all subscribe.
In 2011, editors in major newsrooms went into “withdrawal” during a Chartbeat outage. Since then the company appears to have tightened its grip. When I visited the company’s New York office recently, monitors indicated that around 7.6 million “heartbeats,” -- people -- were tuned into pages monitored by Chartbeat. That number first topped 3 million in early 2011; the all-time peak of more than 9.8 million came on the last day of the Boston bombing manhunt.
“It's been the feeling that following metrics too closely is corruptive to good quality journalism,” Haile said. “I think if you're following the wrong metrics that's true.”
This sounds a bit rich, given the nature of his business. But as Haile presents it, Chartbeat wants to change the data editors and, more importantly, advertisers care about. He thinks this could improve journalism's quality by reducing the incentive to write click-bait headlines, produce unnecessary slideshows, pointlessly paginate articles and indulge in other chicanery to inflate page views.
Raising page views for its own sake, “Doesn't help the audience,” Haile said. “The advertiser doesn't get anything more from it. It's just a way of gaming the numbers.”
“If [a headline reads] 'Prince William caught in love triangle,' it doesn't matter what the story says,” Haile said. “I've got that click, I've got that page view. So it lends itself to lower quality.” But in a media climate where every post is judged on its own terms — whether it’s a war zone dispatch or a curated list of tweets about “Mad Men” – how can quality be measured?
Haile thinks the crucial metric should be time, how long a page captures readers' attention. He believes that articles that engage readers, and are therefore more likely to create a loyal audience, should be worth more to advertisers. That might sound simple, but almost two decades into the era of online media, the industry hasn’t been able to make that happen.
Chartbeat looks well positioned to prove its hypothesis. The company says it has more than 4,000 paying clients worldwide. Its basic service starts at $10 per month, but rates escalate for organizations with more users or that need more in-depth data. In 2012 the company raised $9.5 million in venture capital led by the big-time Silicon Valley firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson.
England-born Haile, like many tech executives, cultivates a swashbuckling image. One of his bios says he has “been to the North Pole, negotiated with vodka-fuelled helicopter pilots in Siberia, built a runway in Greenland, smuggled explosives through Heathrow and meat into Canada.” Can he add “saved journalism” to that list?
Before the Internet, newspaper editors learned almost nothing about how many people read a story or clipped it to the refrigerator. Then, in an earlier era of the Internet, online editors might have learned a story’s traffic days or weeks after it ran. Now, Chartbeat tells editors how well a story is doing immediately. Boxes, each representing a story, constantly, silently reorder themselves on the screen. Chartbeat has a Tetris-like ability to invade dreams.
Part of being an editor has become acquiring a feel for what kind of stories traffic well. It’s an intuition game, a bit like stock picking but with no chance of getting rich.
I asked Haile what kind of high-quality stories he thinks attract strong traffic. “Dude,” he responded, “That's a broad church question.” Translated from the English, that means he doesn’t know any better than the rest of us.
But some people do know. In an interview with Betabeat last year, Jonah Peretti, CEO of Buzzfeed and the industry’s reigning traffic king, commented on material that goes viral [sic, in advance]: “There’s humor, there’s timeliness and breaking news and things like that, there’s broadly defined things that have that make you exp a sense of awe or emotion and you see often nostalgic posts like do v well. So we’ll do posts about you know, food you ate as a kid that you can’t get anymore and have like, Jell-O pudding pops that aren’t on the market.” Peretti could have added that numbered lists trigger a neurological urge that evolution did not equip us to resist, like Cheez-Its or pornography.
In a newspaper, a popular advice columnist might appear on a page facing a piece on a zoning meeting. The reader might only read the advice column but she understands them as part of the same product. And, just by filling blank space, the zoning story served a purpose even if no one read it.
Online, a story’s traffic, its purpose, depends largely on its individual ability to attract readers. In effect each story becomes its own product, advertised by media companies on Facebook and Twitter. This dynamic reduces the incentive to cover that proverbial zoning meeting when a post on, say, a celebrity will almost certainly attract more clicks.
The original reporting and name-brand analysis that might be called prestige content will still have a place in many business models, especially at the biggest and wealthiest media outlets. But endless media layoffs around the country suggest that a lot more zoning meetings are going uncovered.
Even so, plenty of solid journalism still does strong traffic. In an extreme example, Mother Jones upended the 2012 election with its 47% coverage and the original piece accumulated 185,000 likes on Facebook. (For my purposes, Facebook and Twitter activity, which many sites display publicly, are reasonable proxies for traffic.)
But Haile said he’s seeing journalists, under pressure to generate traffic, splitting their time between prestige work and filler like “five reasons why Anthony Weiner should have been mayor or something like that, a guaranteed click-bait kind of thing.” The publications employing journalists also have to strike a balance between creating the content that will drive traffic today and what will develop and maintain an audience in the long term. Too much of the former can dilute a brand while an excess of the latter can cause advertising revenue to suffer.
Even Buzzfeed, the list-happy site which has seen astonishing traffic growth, confronts the prestige gap. After Election Day, site staffer McKay Coppins published a well-received essay about his experience covering the campaign as a Mormon. It received 1,700 Facebook likes, respectable for a long, thoughtful piece but that’s not what’s keeping the lights on at Buzzfeed where a post called “26 moments that restored our faith in humanity this year” has racked up 1.7 million likes (plus 555,000 Facebook “shares”.) No, I won’t link to it.
This is where Chartbeat could matter. Haile thinks his service can reconcile, or at least narrow, the prestige gap by generating meaningful data about which pieces engage readers. When people read sites, Haile said, they make small detectable actions: scrolling, mouse movements and the like. Using information like this, Chartbeat says it can determine how long readers stay before moving on and it believes advertisers will want space next to the most compelling work. (Engagement information is already available to Chartbeat clients.)
To illustrate, Haile sent me data pulled from 50 million “user sessions” of which words in a headline are likely to keep people’s attention after they have already clicked on the story. Headline words like top, best, companies, cities, cars, biggest and richest didn’t drive engagement. Readers, however, bothered to read stories with the following words in the headline: Obama, Obamacare, D.C., Zimmerman, Snowden, Trayvon, War, Egypt, Syria, GOP, Walmart. (This list seems tailored to flatter a Salon editor.)
The question is whether advertisers can be made to care about engagement. In a given month, Chartbeat provides a constant stream of data, “for front-line doers,” those workers in a position to boost traffic minute to minute.
Advertisers, however, don’t want to be overwhelmed with a month of real-time data. Instead, they depend on metrics like one commonly known as a comScore, for the company that calculates it. ComScore can reduce a month’s traffic to a single figure, i.e. 10,000,000. It serves roughly the same purpose as a TV show’s Nielsen rating.
If a site sees its Chartbeat performance rise over a month, that’s likely to boost its comScore number, but the two have no direct connection. ComScore collects its own data on page views and unique visitors and then performs its own calculations. (For a more in-depth explanation see here.) Advertising sales teams can talk up how rich their audiences are or how attractively demogrified, but it’s the comScore number that brings home the bacon.
Earlier this year, Chartbeat introduced a new service, for advertising salespeople instead of editors, that is designed to make reader engagement something advertisers will pay for. Chartbeat says it has signed up 27 major publishers as clients for the service, which starts at $2,000 per month.
As Haile sees it, page views won’t stop mattering, but they could matter in different ways. For example, if a site gets page views and then can convince advertisers that their audience actually reads the articles they click on, ads placed farther down the page could become more desirable (and expensive) because that’s where the people who are paying attention hang out.
Measuring engagement could also open opportunities for “brand advertising.” That's the industry term for the high-profile outlays designed less to sell products immediately than to implant ideas like "BMW is a really beautiful, sexy machine and are you the kind of person who wants to be in that kind of car," as Trei Brundrett, chief product officer of Vox Media put it.
Vox Media which publishes the tech site The Verge and the sports site SB Nation, is using Chartbeat’s new service for advertising sales. And the results? "The simplicity of what they're trying to convey” in engagement time “is powerful," Brundrett said though “The jury's still out on how advertisers will receive it."
The beauty of the situation, for Chartbeat, is that real-time data is now so essential in newsrooms that websites will still be mainlining it, whether or not it meaningfully changes their business. Chartbeat has become like the boomtown general store where all the miners stock up (and then refuel) as they try to strike it rich. And while "How real-time data saved journalism" would make for a nice TED Talk, Chartbeat’s investors undoubtedly know they can cash out and then see if Haile's thesis holds up.
Why can't journalism come up with a business model that makes so much sense? | <urn:uuid:0a74dbd3-91af-4bcd-9acb-982b4f27c150> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.salon.com/2013/10/27/this_man_decides_what_you_read/?utm_source=API%27s+Need+to+Know+newsletter&utm_campaign=226b2db8ed-Need_to_Know_October_28_201310_28_2013&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e3bf78af04-226b2db8ed-31701173 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.954842 | 2,690 | 1.523438 | 2 |
The vector includes 2 numbers that are written vertically (instead of enjoying a coordinate horizontally). Click on a type of scatter chart and its graph will be displayed on the spreadsheet. The first default box is the simplest to work with when you want a blank coordinate map, or if you want to plot points in the coordinates. Scatter charts are the only charts in Excel that allow you to specify a horizontal numeric axis. If you want a blank graphic, change the first row of numbers to the smallest numbers that you would like to show in the scope. The graph of the coordinate system will also be saved. In addition, preprinted and printable coordinate worksheets are available on an individual web page.
The Define Grid Data form can be used to define a normal system. Our Landsat example is not necessarily optimized with respect to computational efficiency. It is not an idea as crazy as you might think. Finally, to give you a clearer idea of ??the use of incomplete fractional units, here is a nice grid that I created.
The pages that were already pretty caught my attention and the diary pages at the beginning of each month. You may be wondering how you can not simply store an infinite amount of data in a single qubit, since you can basically reach an infinite number of states, not just two. There is a lot of promising research that can allow us to stop and eliminate carbon emissions. Students form a pair of coordinates based on the dice roll and place a marker in that space, if possible. In addition to the Pythagorean Theorem, they must demonstrate that the shapes they have constructed are square. They can use any of the two pairs of possible coordinates to make their best moves. The teachers are actively sharing the ideas that come up for the lessons that Minecraft uses with different schools.
The vertical axis is known as the y axis. The horizontal axis is known as the x axis. The horizontal axis is known as the x axis, and the vertical axis is known as the y axis.
It is possible to select several variables to customize the type of graph paper that is going to be produced. One of the main elements of a well-designed PBL project is that it has a real-world connection or problem to solve. Our data structure can execute a fast sha1 and verify the first coordinate plane. Constructing a hash algorithm is the first step. All energy infrastructure should change more quickly. The other systems are defined by the user with respect to the global system. After a system became a general system, it can not be changed back to a uniform system.
Each area of ??the challenge has a more or less objective way of measuring success, says Feliciano. In addition, the task is based on many different aspects of knowledge and, therefore, its use with experienced students is suggested. Make sure that both points have exactly the same 1st coordinate or the 2nd identical coordinate. Evaluating learning through play is not a simple task. The measurement can be technically known as a door, although it can not be represented by means of a matrix. There are many things we can do to increase efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. | <urn:uuid:fab9fa21-b446-4765-807b-8d609a81c779> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://uroomsurf.com/printable-coordinate-grid/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.952224 | 640 | 3.359375 | 3 |
When you study languages, or gain fluency in more than one, at some point you realise that each language has its own terms that are not translatable. It is about the way language thinks for us, and in different languages or cultures this varies.
Take the English word “sophisticated.” I am bilingual in English and German, and I often work as a translator or interpreter, but I have never found an easy one-to-one translation of this word into German, no matter what the context. If you look in a dictionary you will find a long list of synonyms for this, and would need to take your pick to suit the context. Often it is easier to translate this one word with two or three words in German.
The other way round there is a great German word: “schillernd”, which can mean “gleaming,” “iridescent”, “shimmering” and much more, but is not usually used to describe optical or physical impressions and is instead a word denoting the use of language itself, as in an “iridescent” word or concept. But of course, “iridescent” won’t do the trick.
In mediation training in Germany the word Haltung is a key term. And it is another of those words that contains much more than any translation can do justice do.
Haltung is the way you hold yourself. Physically. The way you stand, sit, walk. Your body language.
Haltung is your approach to something. Your methods, the way you do things.
Haltung is your frame of mind or attitude.
Haltung is the way you look at yourself, at relationships, at other people.
Haltung is your focus.
Haltung is part of your view of life in general.
Haltung is the view you have of your own role in your profession.
Haltung contains values, the things that matter to you.
All of which matters so much in mediation. What is my approach to mediation, to clients in mediation? Do I call them clients – is that part of my Haltung, or do I have another word for the people I work with? Why am I here with these people? What am I saying about myself? Am I curious? Am I empathetic? Am I there to give advice? Am I here to close a deal? Are there limits to what I can offer? What are my strengths and what are my weaknesses in mediation? What do I do when I make mistakes? In communication? In relationships? In mediation?
This is so much more about Haltung than attitude (a word which sometimes can even have a negative after-taste in English). It is a practical philosophy, or a philosophy of practice. But philosophy is too intellectual a word for it. Haltung contains vision, wisdom, self-reflection, self-criticism, and concern for others. I reckon that being inquisitive about your own Haltung is essential to all forms of coaching and consultancy, and mediation in particular.
So here are just a few of the dictionary synonyms you will find: bearing, stance, attitude, poise, conduct, posture, position, behaviour, demeanour, carriage, morale, stand.
Mediation training will define and work on the basic mediator traits: neutrality (or multi-partiality), responsibility for process rather than content, empathy, and probably a few more. But these remain very much text-book driven or just learned unless each mediator turns them into his or her own personal claims through reflective experience. Working on Haltung takes these ideas much further and is a never-finished process of learning about your own personal mediator . . . personal mediator what? Haltung of course. | <urn:uuid:0fb2e9a9-626e-4920-8e3b-784fc7ad4e09> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://mediationblog.kluwerarbitration.com/2018/06/23/haltung-meaning-word-relevance-mediation/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.951503 | 807 | 2.203125 | 2 |
There are a few actions which move the needle a lot. This is also called the 80/20 principle which we’ve harped on before. For example, there are only the top 5 channel amps that get bought the most in a world full of them. For speakers, there are a few components which improve the sound quality a lot. One of those components is the amplifier.
Deciding which amplifier to buy (if you’re in the market) is a big decision for your speaker. Here are the top qualities you need to look for when looking for the best stereo tube amplifier for your money:
1. Power Output
Power output is also known as wattage. Looking at wattage of a speaker will give you a great indication of the type of power output the speaker produces. What you need to keep in mind when deciding how much power output you need depends on the size of the area you’re going to place the speaker in. The bigger the area, the more wattage you need to deliver the sound throughout the area.
But wattage can be a little tricky. Sometimes you don’t need as much power, but sometimes you do depending on other factors which we explain further below.
2. Signal/Noise Ratio
The signal to noise ratio is another phrase commonly used today similar to the 80/20 rule. The term signal in this case needs to be the music, and the term noise is every other sound the amplifier produces while playing music. Having a great signal/noise ratio is all about hearing the music and hearing nothing else.
We’re living in the age of the internet of things. It seems like devices are popping up everywhere and it’s only proliferating. With more inputs on your amplifier you’ll be able to connect to all these devices. Having the ability to connect to all these devices means you’re able to play more music in more places.
A vital feature, but not as much as the other ones is crosstalk. Crosstalk is important because you don’t want your speakers mixing up sounds. What we mean by this is, you want music to come out in the way it’s intended. If an artist places their vocals in the right speaker, and the piano on the left speaker, having the vocals in the left speaker will distort sound. Look for amplifiers which can separate sound by individual speakers.
This is also similar to the signal/noise ratio. THD+N means total harmonic distortion plus noise. Basically, this is a measurement seeing how close the amplifier output is to the original recording. If the THD+N has a high number when you measure it, then you need to look at a different amplifier. But if it’s a lower number, then continue vetting the amplifier.
YAQIN MS23B Stereo Tube Phono Stage
The Yaqin MS23B is meant for connection for either a pre or an integrated amplifier. This particular amplifier is in the phono stage. It provides the connection between the record player and amplifier.
For users who have turntables, a phono stage amplifier is right for you. To connect a turntable with an amplifier, you need an amplifier which is in the phono stage to make the signal strong enough from the turntable to connect with the main amplifier.
The design offers rigid aluminum enclosure and a pair of tubes which audiophiles can replace if they want to upgrade to something else.
It also comes with a warm quality sound. The sound is transparent and covers the whole spectrum of the frequency range. This means its calm when it’s on lower sound levels and it’s diverse when it comes to the higher sound ranges. We include some of the mids as part of the higher sound ranges also.
Another secret to its sound quality is the DC filament power supply. This bad boy is responsible for noise and hum reduction. And for those who don’t know, “DC” stands for direct current.
Besides its sound quality, it’s also great for durability. We already mentioned the rigid aluminum enclosure, but that’s only half of it. High-quality metallic resistors are packed into a small frame with durable front panels.
All of the materials which make up the Yaqin MS23B are of the highest quality. Other examples of this statement are the Japanese Nippon Chemi-Con capacitor and the enamel-isolated pure OFC copper wiring. The purpose of the Chemi-Con capacitor and enamel-isolated copper wiring is for durability. But don’t be fooled by enamel-isolated wiring.
Although it’s labeled as “enamel”, the truth is, enameled wiring typically uses 1-4 layers of polymer film insulation. Nonetheless, it still provides a tough insulating layer.
A cool feature of this stereo tube amplifier is tube rolling. Now, we know what you’re thinking, but, what is tube rolling? It’s simple. Tube rolling is when you have a spot on an amplifier where can put different tubes in. It’s an interchangeable spot for tubes made for finding the optimal sound for the user.
GemTune BL-02 Class A Integrated Tube Amplifier
There are different amplifiers for different connections. The first amplifier we reviewed was all about turntables and helping bridge the connection between turntables and the main amplifier.
But every amplifier’s general purpose is improving sound and this one is no exception. This tube amplifier is meant for hi-fi integration. A hi-fi integrating amplifier brings refined and colorful music. Its class A single ended amplifier is meant to reduce distortion. Normally, distortion in amplifiers is due to an amplifier needing more voltage than it can supply, or something to do with the internal circuit.
A class A tube amplifier defined by the RCA Tube Manual is a “grid bias and alternating grid voltages are such that plate current in atube flows at all times.” Simply put, a class A amplifier means the valve won’t fully shut off. There’s always a little bit left open.
This particular amp provides 5 tube slots which features 3 different tubes for use. What makes this a beginner-friendly speaker is it’s a plug and go amplifier. All you have to do is plug it in a speaker and leave it alone. Once plugged in, the sound quality speaks for itself unless you’re an audiophile who’s particular to the type of sound they want.
A downfall of the GemTune BL-02 is it won’t make the sound quality extraordinary by itself. It needs other equipment beside it to do that. Another downfall more glaring then that is its delicacy. If you happen to break one of the amps, then it’s over.
Enough of the downfalls now. Let’s talk about where this amp shines. One of the distinct features of this stereo tube amp is it adjusts the power going through the tubes on its own. This process is call auto biasing.
In addition to auto biasing is tube rolling. You can modify the tubes it has as long as it’s the same size as the one on the amplifier’s design.
Overall, this is a great product, especially for beginners. Being able to insert it and not having to modify anything is what makes it beginner-friendly. But having the option to modify it also makes it great for anyone, especially beginners. Being able to customize lets the user experiment with what type of sound mix they like. It’s not too complicated where the user can get overwhelmed with everything.
Nobsound NS-08E Vacuum Tube
This is the cheapest stereo tube amp on this list by far. What makes this special is even though it’s cheap, it’s still quality, or else why would we put it on this list? To prove it’s quality, let’s start off with the sound quality.
Adding this amplifier will increase every single part of your sound frequency. Some noticeable effects once added are a warm sound with more treble and bass. All of this increases without added distortion. The most noticeable addition is what it does to the mids. Once this amplifier is added, your mids become more colorful.
The sound can become more colorful through tube rolling. Although tuning the amps for this isn’t necessary because for casual listeners, it’s great as it already is.
Once you purchase this amplifier, know you’re purchasing a hybrid amplifier. Hybrid means one section of the amplifier is tube driven. This section could either be the pre or power section.
A majority of the stereo amp is made of aluminum. In front of the amp are the 3.5 mm line in and headphone out jacks. Next to those headphone jacks is the volume knob. It’s hard to get the exact volume because the knob moves in tactile steps. On top of that (literally), are 2 tube sockets. Both sockets are adjustable and in the back of the stereo amp is the power button and power input.
This stereo amp is also another beginner-friendly stereo amp. It has a simple layout and customizable tubes, but nothing that will overwhelm the user. On top of that is its cheap price which makes it even more beginner-friendly.
SMSL AD18 HiFi Audio Stereo Amplifier
SMSL stands for Shenszhen ShuangMuSanlin Electronics Co. LTD. They’re a Chinese company created in 2009 which specializes in audio DAC, power amplifiers, and stereo headphone amplifiers.
Most of their products are consumer electronics and how they separate themselves from the rest of the competition is through affordability.
The SMSL AD18 is a digital amplifier. This means the signal from input to output is digital.
Both Nobsound and SMSL are very similar. They are similar in price point and size. Another similarity is their enclosure (aluminum). The difference between Nobsound and SMSL to start off is their size. The SMSL’s frame is more vertically-built while the Nobsound is more horizontally-built.
The front layout of this amplifer has a much cleaner look compared to the Nobsound. Instead of 2 headphone jacks, you get 1 along with a volume knob which isn’t clogged around other headphone jacks. You also get a LCD screen for display whici is surprising considering how small this is. But what point is there having a screen without a remote? But don’t worry, because once you purchase this, you also get a remote as part of the package.
With this amplifier you also get more connectivity options. The back panel provides a Bluetooth antenna to connect your smartphone, a micro-usb port for a computer, subwoofer output, and a 3.5mm jack input to connect a line from DAC to DAP.
DAC means digital to analog converter and DAP means digital audio player. Having a digital amplifier gives you the ability to listen to music everywhere. For example, if you have music on your computer but can’t bring it with you, you can convert it into an audio signal by putting it into an MP3 format on a USB.
In this case, once the amp converts the signal to analog all you have to do is put your headphones in the headphone output.
YAQIN MC-13S Push-Pull Integrated Stereo Tube Amplifier
Yaqin is another Chinese manufacturer who exports to different countries. The list of countries include North America, Japan, and Europe. As you can tell, these are quality markets to be in. Not any manufacturer would be in these markets unless they’re selling quality products.
The Yaqin MC-13S is an example of the quality products they sell. Weighing in at 48.5 pounds, this is the heaviest stereo amp on the list. Its dimensions are 47 x 31.5 x 17.5 which make it a boatload to handle. As you can tell by the dimensions, this isn’t an amp you can carry around whenever you want.
Internal components of this amp are curated from the best. The circuit is said to have components from Philips, Siemens, and more. Some components they curate from these brands are capacitors.
Usually, the bigger the amplifier, the bigger the output, and this amp isn’t different. The Yaqin MC-13S has an output power of 40 watts. 10 watts is already good. But 40 in a household might cause ears to ring.
Its signal to noise ratio is also great at >85 decibels. If you haven’t noticed, this amplifier seems like a skeleton. There aren’t any flashy designs, or worse, it looks unfinished. But that’s not the intended purpose.
Unlike the other amplifiers on this list, this one uses iron instead of aluminum which is the reason it looks dull. Both the resistors and volume controls work well with iron also. Similar to the other Yaqin product on this list, it also has free enameled copper for the windings in the transformer cores.
The Yaqin MC-13S is a class A amplifier. But the difference for this class A amplifier is it’s a push-pull amplifier also. A push-pull amplifier can change the direction of current in any way it wants. This helps the amp become distortion free, deliver more alternating current output power, and more. We’ve actually written about the advantages of push-pull amplifiers before.
One component worth mentioning is the synthesizer. It doesn’t produce the same frequencies as other amplifiers, but compared to other amps on this list, it’s the best. This same amplifier can produce higher frequencies at an efficient rate also. Being efficient at producing higher frequencies prevents distortion and irritated people.
For those looking for a dynamic amplifier which covers the whole frequency range without exaggerating effects, this is your amplifier. Whatever it lacks in aesthetics it makes up for with sound quality. | <urn:uuid:c0c8f3a3-c20c-4e41-a15a-28c56aca93b9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.noisylabs.com/the-best-stereo-tube-amplifiers-for-the-money-noisylabs/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570741.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808001418-20220808031418-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.93263 | 2,964 | 1.773438 | 2 |
A couple of months ago, I happened to be sitting at the a bar minding my own company whenever this lady close to myself did some thing unusual. Surrounded by possible people, she removed out this lady phone, hid they coyly under the avoid, and you will launched the web based dating software Tinder. On her behalf monitor, images of men appeared immediately after which gone away left and you will correct, according to the guidelines in which she cleaned.
We noticed a-deep sense a rejection — perhaps not yourself, however, for men and women at the pub. As opposed to getting together with the individuals to the woman, she decided to identify a companion elsewhere on the internet.
In fact, by a number of methods, online dating features ended up a great deal more beneficial – each other to prospects and people – than the antique channels it has got changed
We questioned to help you me personally, so is this what internet dating did so you’re able to us? Would it be creating another type of facts in which anybody actively prevent real-lives affairs?
“There are a great number of theories around on how online relationship is harmful to all of us,” Michael Rosenfeld, an effective sociologist during the Stanford who has been carrying out a long-powering examination of online dating, explained the other day. “And mainly these are typically fairly unfounded.”
Rosenfeld, who has been tracking this new relationships lives out-of alot more than step three,100 veuve rencontres gratuites some body, features learned of many insights concerning the broadening role of software for example Tinder. He could be very important now – approximately among the five straight couples now fulfill toward Internet. (To have homosexual partners, it’s more like two out of each and every three). The apps was in fact the truth is effective — as well as in implies most people won’t assume.
Nevertheless anxiety you to matchmaking is evolving all of us, collectively, that it is carrying out substandard patterns and you may choices that are not within needs, is being inspired alot more because of the paranoia as opposed because of the real facts
We spoke which have Rosenfeld to listen to more about his research, to learn about the ways in which the go up out-of on line dating was identifying progressive like, in order to discuss the most significant misunderstandings folks have regarding on the web dating. The brand new interviews might have been edited getting duration and quality.
You have perhaps one of the most novel investigation establishes in the modern love. What maybe you’ve heard of just how individuals big date now?
Really, one of the first things you have to know understand exactly how relationship – or most courtship traditions, just like the not everyone phone calls it matchmaking – changed over time is that the chronilogical age of atically over day. Some one used to get married within their early twenties, which created that relationships that was complete, otherwise extremely courting that was over, was done with the reason for paying off immediately. Which can be perhaps not the life you to definitely young people lead anymore. Age very first matrimony became in the later twenties, and a lot more people in its 30s as well as forties are determining not to relax.
An upswing regarding phone programs an internet-based relationships websites offers somebody accessibility even more prospective couples than simply they might satisfy at the office or in your local. It can make it easier for someone who wants anything really specific within the somebody discover what they’re appearing getting. It also helps the people whom make use of the applications by permitting these to see a period off regular hookups that do not enjoys to lead to dating. I think these items are certainly feature of contemporary relationship.
Part of what you provides uncovered using your research is just how radical the rise of online dating might have been. That is something not everybody believes this is an excellent situation. Why are people doubtful? | <urn:uuid:290df054-ccc5-4b54-8d0d-6839149a382f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://brb-ljubuski.com/2022/08/01/how-well-dating-work-centered-on-somebody-who-has/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573623.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819035957-20220819065957-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.97604 | 816 | 1.671875 | 2 |

The recent years has seen an increase in competition among companies and organization. This has led to the need for businesses to ensure their performances to be able to survive the market. As such, there has also been the need for them to enhance motivation among their employees to be able to achieve the same. Motivation is a feature that stimulates individuals to act in a manner that that will lead to the accomplishment of a particular task. Highly motivated employees enable a company or organization to achieve its goals and objectives in an effective manner. On the other hand de-motivated employees lead to low performances in an organization or even its collapse. Motivating people can be a difficult task especially if the management fails to understand how to do it.
It is common knowledge that people differ in a number of ways, for example, people’s ideas, attitudes, strengths, values, and beliefs. With this being the case, there is no way an organization can be able to motivate its people using one strategy. It is essential for the management to come with different motivation strategies to ensure motivation among its people. There are also different reasons to why people are motivated or de-motivated by certain things (Latham, 2007).
This enables them to handle its people in an effective manner, for instance, it will be able to develop strong strategies to deal with low levels of motivation among employees considering the fact that it will know exactly the reasons to why this is the case. It is also imperative for the management to focus more on the employees’ strengths as opposed to their weakness. This strategy enables organizational leaders to develop positive working environments hence high motivation. Basically, concentrating on employees’ weakness leads to the employee feeling incompetent and as a result may lack the confidence to engage in the right behaviors integral to the success of the company or organization in question (Beck, 2004).
Organizations normally come up with goals and objectives that determine where they intend to be in the future. Employees in every organization must ensure the goals and objectives are implemented within the stipulated time. There are many times when they are able to achieve this as the survival of the organization in question normally depends on it. One way to ensure employees maintain the same satisfaction in the future is acknowledging their efforts.
It is essential for employees to notice appreciation of their efforts. It is not a must for the management to reward such efforts as the company may lack the ability to do so. However, just recognizing it goes a long way in enhancing satisfaction. People feel appreciated hence will be willing to do all it takes to ensure the company thrives on the market. This also leads to development of trust between the management and employees considering the fact those employees will not develop the feeling that the management is taking credit for their efforts.
Many researchers have developed meaningful approaches, which assist in making employees pleased with their work. O’Neil (2012) indicates that satisfaction is a very important aspect of employee productivity and job satisfaction; the managers in any organization should understand that there are two types of satisfactions. The negative form of satisfaction is when workers do what they are supposed to due to fear of punishment or being laid off. The positive form of worker satisfaction is that which causes employees to perform their tasks enthusiastically because they love their jobs and they derive great satisfaction from performing their tasks effectively.
Chandler and Scott (2008) reveal that there are many ways of motivating employees in any organization. One of the first important steps is for the managers to realize that if there is any problem with the productivity or enthusiasm of their workers, more often than not the problem is with the management. Managers ought to realize that they cannot ‘control’ their workers. What they can do is to come up with effective agreements, which create a compromise in their ability to satisfy the goals of both the employee and the organization.
In addition to this, the managers ought to equip their employees with the virtues of self-discipline and stop their criticism of upper management organs. When managers, through their words or actions imply that their organizational administrators cannot be trusted or that the team leaders are just ‘toothless bulldogs’ it becomes almost impossible to raise the enthusiasm of workers and their job satisfaction.
Herzberg (2003) claims that wages and other monetary benefits play a great role in making people develop enthusiasm for their jobs; this is in addition to the existence of a good relationship with one’s superiors. One of the most important factors that have adverse effects on employees’ job satisfaction and levels of satisfaction is being on bad terms with their immediate supervisors or managers.
Communication and Motivation
Communication can also enable the management in organizations to ensure high levels of motivation among employees. On the other hand, motivation can also contribute to good communication practices. This is because managers are forced to communicate effectively to enhance motivation. For one, it is essential for the management to develop listening skills. One of the reasons to why employees may be de-motivated to act in a particular manner in the problems they face while dealing with their duties.
Most of them raise such issues to the management, which must respond in kind by dealing with them. This cannot be achieved if leaders do not develop listening skills. Listening skills enable leaders to get everything an employee forwards hence their ability to avoid missing any small detail (Morreale, Spitzberg & Barge, 2007). As such, employee issues are solved in an effective way, which contributes to high levels of motivation.
Ultimately, it is important for the management to be very clear on what the company or organization intends to achieve. Essentially, employees need to understand exactly what they are trying to achieve. Ambiguous objectives and goals also contribute to low levels of motivation. This is because employees will be unsure of what is expected of them hence may not be able to accomplish the tasks in the desired manner (Morreale, Spitzberg & Barge, 2007).
Equally, unclear objectives lead to confusion and frustration among members of the organization. In the end, they may be unwilling to behave in a manner that will lead to high performances. This shows that the managers’ desire to motivate employees leads to them communicating in a clear and concise manner.
Employee motivation also demands of leaders or managers to relate with employees in a friendly manner. They must also handle employees in a professional manner. One thing managers ought to understand is that without employees an organization cannot be able to function. Additionally, the days when leaders acted in unfriendly manner to instill fear among employees are long gone. Employees need to be free to share their ideas and opinions with the management without fear of any form of intimidation.
They must also develop the feeling that the management respects them. This is very essential as it also contributes to development of trust between the management and its people. Correspondingly, employees also develop emotional attachment to the organization hence their will to act in ways that will enable the company in question compete effectively on its market (Davidson, 2011). This is also a clear indication that a company’s quest to motivate its employees lead to the management communicating with the employees in a friendly manner.
Similarly, managers ought to encourage communication among people working in teams or groups. De-motivation can easily occur because of lack of communication as a problem can arise and people find it hard to solve it simply because they are not communicating. Communication among team members also lead to team cohesion hence team members’ willingness to work with one another (Davidson, 2011). It also enables them to handle any dispute before it gets out of hand. This also means that motivational strategies lead to constant communication among people in an organization or company.
Employee satisfaction also demands of leaders or managers to relate with employees in a friendly manner. They must also handle employees in a professional manner. One thing managers ought to understand is that without employees an organization cannot be able to function. Additionally, the days when leaders acted in unfriendly manner to instill fear among employees are long gone. Employees need to be free to share their ideas and opinions with the management without fear of any form of intimidation (O’Neill, 2012).
They must also develop the feeling that the management respects them. This is very essential as it also contributes to development of trust between the management and its people. Correspondingly, employees also develop emotional attachment to the organization hence their will to act in ways that will enable the company in question compete effectively on its market (McNamara, 2011). This is also a clear indication that a company’s quest to motivate its employees lead to the management communicating with the employees in a friendly manner.
Similarly, managers ought to encourage communication among people working in teams or groups. Dissatisfaction can easily occur because of lack of communication as a problem can arise and people find it hard to solve it simply because they are not communicating (McNamara, 2011). Communication among team members also lead to team cohesion hence team members’ willingness to work with one another. It also enables them to handle any dispute before it gets out of hand. This also means that job satisfaction strategies lead to constant communication among people in an organization or company.
People are either motivated intrinsically or extrinsically. Intrinsic motivation occurs when an individual is motivated to act in a certain manner without the introduction of external factors such as money. This type of motivation exists within people. For example, there are people who may be motivated to execute a particular task simply because they enjoy doing the same as opposed to relying on external rewards. On the contrary, extrinsic motivation occurs when an individual is motivated to engage in a certain behaviors as result of the rewards or outcome that come with it. It exists from outside the individual (Beck, 2004).
Extrinsic motivators include, among others, threat of punishment, promotion, and rewards. Individuals that are motivated intrinsically are preferred over those motivated by external factors. Intrinsic motivation also leads to more engagement among employees as compared to extrinsic motivation. It is also essential for the management in organization to ascertain on whether its employees are motivated extrinsically or intrinsically to be able to come up with well informed decision on how to enhance motivation. It is also important for managers to ensure a balance between intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation if they are to achieve the best results.
Ways to Reward and Motivate Employees
Microsoft (2012) elucidates the concept of employee satisfaction as well as its importance in the work environment; satisfaction of the workers by the management is supportive of the employees and their job satisfaction because it emphasizes their achievements and encourages them to be more productive in the future. The first way to reward and motivate employees as indicated by Microsoft is to formulate a plan of action to be utilized in the rewarding of top performers. This requires that there be effective communication between the managers and the workers on the systems of reward.
The second step in motivating and rewarding employees is for the managers to be innovative in their determination of the kinds of rewards to give tip performers; examples include the giving of bonuses or sharing the proceeds accrued by the organization. Microsoft reveals that in the rewarding and motivating of workers it is also very important for the managers to engage themselves in personally acknowledging the efforts of the employees; this personal touch motivates the workers more than a simple presentation of a paycheck by immediate superiors would.
The fourth way to motivate workers as elucidated by Microsoft is to determine the extent of the reward structures in the organization; despite the fact that it is commendable to award teams, it is more important for the managers to recognize and reward exemplary individual efforts.
Carter (2011) discusses the idea of satisfaction elements, which determines the level to which the employees will be satisfied or dissatisfied with their jobs. Carter, in the depiction of these elements utilizes the acronym ‘SMARTER’ which stands for Specific, Measurable, Acceptable, Realistic, timely, extending of Capabilities and Rewarding the members involved in successful completion of organizational tasks. Before any organizational manage can motivate their employees, they must first of all make sure that they are motivated themselves; this is due to the fact that employees look up to their organizational managers to be role models. In the event that the managers are enthusiastic about their work, the workers also attain the same enthusiasm.
In addition to this, Carter (2011) reveals that for the workers to remain enthusiastic in the performance of their organizational tasks and to be satisfied with their jobs there is a need for the organizational managers and administrators to align the organizational intents with the employees’ set objectives. When the organizational goals are aligned to those of the employees, the employees tend to find their jobs more fulfilling and interesting.
The managers should therefore endeavor to include their workers in the process of formulating strategic organizational goals. In addition to this, the organizational managers ought to understand the factors that motivate their different workers; this is because workers in any organization are unique and the managers have to dedicate their time into observing, asking, listening and interrogating their workers to understand each one of them.
Lastly, Carter asserts that the managers in any commercial organization should understand that the activity of motivating workers and increasing their job satisfaction and morale to work is not a one-time job in itself but a process that that takes time, dedication and effort in order to attain the desired outcomes. Sometimes it may be necessary to transform the organizational culture as well as the business atmosphere in an organization to increase the workers’ enthusiasm to work.
Wage Comparisons with Similar and Dissimilar Others
Sweeney and McFarlih (2005) reveal that competitive wages is another reason which leads to employee satisfaction. Generally, when employees compare themselves to other employees who are getting higher salaries, they have a propensity to think that they are being treated unfairly. Consequently, the extent to which workers are satisfied with their pay greatly determines the organization’s rates of turnover and absenteeism.
Workers in any organization tend to compare themselves socially with people they perceive as being at the same level with themselves. The social comparison theory therefore indicates that employees’ perception of organizational justice will be based on the manner in which they are treated, and remunerated in comparison to significant similar others. Sweeney and McFarlih (2005) further state that when employees perceive differences in the remuneration given to co-workers with a similar level of experience or educational credentials, they tend to be overly dissatisfied with their jobs.
It is common knowledge that people differ in a number of ways, for example, people’s ideas, attitudes, strengths, values, and beliefs. With this being the case, there is no way an organization can be able to motivate its people using one strategy. It is essential for the management to come with different satisfaction strategies to ensure satisfaction among its people. There are also different reasons to why people are motivated or de-motivated by certain things (Albrecht, 2010).
This enables them to handle its people in an effective manner, for instance, it will be able to develop strong strategies to deal with low levels of satisfaction among employees considering the fact that it will know exactly the reasons to why this is the case. It is also imperative for the management to focus more on the employees’ strengths as opposed to their weakness. This strategy enables organizational leaders to develop positive working environments hence high satisfaction. Concentrating on employees’ weakness leads to the employee feeling incompetent and as a result may lack the confidence to engage in the right behaviors integral to the success of the company or organization in question.
Significance of Motivation In Workplace
Motivation results in stability of workforce, which is very critical from the viewpoint of reputation and public image. The staff can stay loyal only when they feel part and parcel of the organization, fulfill the sense of participation and feel they are appreciated and needed. The longer an employee stays in an enterprise, the more experienced and skilled he gets. The efficiency and skills of workforce can be employed in its advantage as well as in the advantage of the employers. Motivation is crucial for a business organization for the following reasons.
Motivation raises employee efficiency and puts human resources into action. Every concern needs human and financial resources to meet the goals. Having workers only bodily does not imply the organization is able to make full use of these physical resources. The employer needs the employees’ willingness to be actually there. Given that the efficiency level of an employee is not inflexibly associated with his abilities, but also on an ideal balance between employee’s willingness and ability (Marques, Dhiman & King, 2008). This suggests that to obtain best results, there is a need to balance the two as such a balance will result in increased productivity, enhancement in efficiency and reduced operational costs and is achievable only through employee motivation.
Motivation in workplace results in accomplishment of organizational goals. Any business venture has its own goals, which may be met only when there is a cooperative work environment, when all workers are guided by their objectives and resource management is a proper one. Such enterprise goals can be met if coordination and cooperation are accomplished once via motivation.
Motivation is equally important in building friendly relationships. In fact, it is one of the leading factors that bring employees satisfaction. Provided the employees’ needs are met via attractive incentives and rewards such as promotion of efficient employees and rewarding productive with monetary incentives, employees will get more interested in their organization. This helps develop cordial relations and build a friendly atmosphere in an organization.
In addition to that, motivated employees are often ready to embrace and adjust to change that organizations initiate. Change is inevitable and organizations have to integrate different essentials changes to remain relevant. With the assistance of competent motivated work force, those changes can be taken in, initiated and executed without pessimistic attitudes (Levesque, 2009).
Motivation leads to people acting in a manner that contributes to the accomplishment of a particular task. Motivating people can be difficult especially when leaders do not understand the logistics involved in the process. People are either motivated intrinsically or extrinsically. It is essential for the management to balance between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Effective communication can also be used to motivate people. Organizations’ quest to motivate people enhances their communication skills.

Preparing for a future of building sustainability with PropTech
Over the past few decades, businesses “going green” and building sustainability have transformed from simple marketing gimmicks into full-fledged market trends. Industries across the globe – from transportation to food production and even clothing – have seen companies with environmental responsibility at their center grow dramatically in market share. Sustainability isn’t just “in” right now – it’s here to stay, and every industry will need to address their carbon footprint.
As companies commit to reducing their environmental impacts and promise deadlines for going “carbon neutral,” commercial real estate businesses will also need to move towards sustainable operations over the coming years.
What’s driving the sustainability market trends
Even outside of regulatory requirements, companies across the globe have spent the past few years making and executing on sustainability promises. In March 2021, 30 of the UK’s FTSE100 companies committed to go carbon neutral by 2050, setting the stage for businesses across Europe (and beyond) to follow suit.
Another factor driving the sustainability market trend is a shift in affordability. While technology aimed at reducing carbon emissions was once considered prohibitively expensive, the cost of monitoring energy usage has been going down steadily over the past several years. Conversely, the cost of fossil fuels has only gone up. Green energy technologies like solar and wind are proving to be reliable while the price of oil continually fluctuates.
The real estate industry has also begun feeling the effects of sustainability demands. Commercial real estate investors have begun including “green clauses” in their leases, which stipulate that owners and operators need to benchmark and report their energy usage. Even as these clauses currently exist on a case-by-case basis, the direction of local and federal regulation points to a future where reporting on building sustainability practices will be required by law.
What CRE businesses can do to make spaces sustainable
Considering that real estate companies will be held responsible for their building sustainability, businesses should be decreasing their energy usage now in order to stay ahead of the curve. Even without having specific regulations or investor expectations in mind, here are a few things your property business can be doing to become more sustainable.
1. Increase the efficiency of assets in your building
Tracking and lowering the energy that your building uses on a regular basis is the foundation of increasing your building sustainability. Newer spaces built within the past decade or so may already come equipped with “smart” technology designed to save money and energy. These Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as thermostats, lights and even faucets, help to keep energy consumption costs down. Older buildings might not have many of these features currently installed, but with the help of your facilities management team, you can begin implementing these solutions to start cutting down on waste right away.
2. Understand how you utilize your office spaces
Over the past year and a half, the traditional office layout has become a thing of the past and businesses across the globe are enabling their employees to take advantage of hybrid work schedules, with some time spent in office and some time spent working remotely. With these changes, spaces that were in full use every day of the week might now be using the same amount of energy as before with no one onsite to require it.
By utilizing space and presence management solutions that give you a comprehensive view of how space it utilized, you can decrease energy usage in parts of the office that aren’t in use. Increasing building sustainability means knowing what usage is necessary, and what might simply be waste.
3. Invest in technology to enable reporting
As mentioned before, investors across the commercial real estate space can see that sustainability drives value to buildings. The rise of smart devices has highlighted the cost of wasted energy and a younger generation is entering the workforce, bringing with them expectations for environmentally friendly business practices. Even where building sustainability benchmarking isn’t yet required, businesses need to be able to report their energy usage to key stakeholders.
By investing in energy monitoring solutions that decrease operating costs, reduce environmental impact, and improve facility performance, commercial property owners, operators and occupiers worldwide can both better manage their energy consumption and report their savings to investors.
As the market continues shifting in favor of environmentally conscious businesses, organizations across the commercial real estate industry need to be preparing for a future where building sustainability is key and answering for energy usage is common practice. With the right technology solutions to help you understand where energy usage can be decreased, where money is being left on the table, and where your building stands in terms of sustainability, your organization can rise to the occasion and stay ahead of the competition.

Optimum pH for availability of most nutrients is in the range of 6.5-7.5. Since wood ash isn’t available in our area, liming is the only option to improve soil pH and productivity of acidic soils (pH below 6.5). Listed below are the sources of lime (information obtained from John Hanna):
- Graymont Inc. Superior Wisconsin, Terry Spooner, Tel: 715 394-1714
- Dave Evans Transport, Superior Wisconsin, Bob or Julio, Tel: 715 718-2711
- Cole International, Thunder Bay customs broker, Helen Rossi, Tel: 807 624-2124
Finer the liming material, quicker is the effect, because surface area with finer material is more than the course material. As a result, the finer liming material is quick to act in the soil. John Hanna has been procuring lime from these sources and have found very good results from application of lime on his farm. You need a soil test report to know how much lime you need to apply in your fields with pH below 6.5! Normally, soil test reports will include recommendations on lime as well. Rates of lime application are recommended at a liming index of 72 %. If the liming index is lower than 72 %, rate of lime application will need to be adjusted upwards. Please feel free to consult me, if need be. | <urn:uuid:cbc3343e-148f-4da0-9372-3d570967dcfd> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://tbfarminfo.org/lime-sources/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573623.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819035957-20220819065957-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.902559 | 290 | 1.71875 | 2 |

Prairie Naturalist (March 1982) 14(1): 1-5.
Vegetational sampling of the legumes of Arapaho Prairie, located in the southwest portion of the Sand Hills of Nebraska, was conducted in June 1980. Lathyrus polymorphus, Petalostemon purpureum, Psoralea digitata and Amorpha canescens were the leading dominants. The overall density of legumes was 0.309 plants m-2.
Of eight examined, only Petalostemon villosum and Glycyrrhiza lepidota supported large numbers of nodules. The others including the dominant legumes were unnodulated or had only a few, usually degenerate nodules.
It appears that the legumes are of minor importance in the overall N economy of Arapaho Prairie. Nevertheless since many of the legumes tend to occupy disturbed areas (blowouts and gullies) dinilfogen fixation may be important during early stages of establishment. | <urn:uuid:5e64ad92-5e1d-4af3-8282-75037729f2df> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/bioscifacpub/269/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.935664 | 219 | 2.828125 | 3 |
South Sudan, one of the youngest nations of the world, saw its independence in 2011, marking an end to a long civil war. However, two years later, violent conflict broke out again. After the civil war, a peace agreement was signed in 2018. Today, the country still faces an uncertain security situation and an unstable economy.
This does not mean that there are no concrete (business) opportunities for the Dutch water sector in South Sudan. The Dutch water sector could potentially play an important role in providing solutions to prevailing problems, with its water management expertise, and state-of-the-art technology with regards to water quality management. That is why the Netherlands Water Partnership (NWP), in the framework of the Water Support Programme, is committed to exploring the possible entryways of the Dutch water sector to become (more) involved in South-Sudan and thereby realising more water impact abroad.
South Sudan is a focus country of the Government of The Netherlands (GoN)' Water Support Programme. The Programme's priority is to further develop the water sector in South Sudan and to stimulate cooperation with the Dutch private sector. At the dawn of independence of South Sudan, the Netherlands set out an ambitious plan to support the country to operationalise the articulations in its water policy and draft water bill by establishing two IWRM projects: Water for Lakes and Water for Eastern Equatoria. These two activities included lessons from previous Dutch activities implemented in South(ern) Sudan. Both projects concluded in October 2019 with remarkable results and clear lessons for future interventions.
The overall water and sanitation objectives of the Government of the Republic of South Sudan (GRSS), as stipulated by its Water Policy of 2007, include improving access to safe water supply and sanitation facilities and promoting hygiene education for all people living in rural areas. In addition, the government is committed to ensuring that the rapidly growing urban population benefits from access to safe, affordable, and reliable water and sanitation services and promotes efficient development and management of these services.Furthermore, South Sudan's national water management agenda includes integrated water resources management, wetlands ecosystems conservation, water for agriculture, and water for animal production.
Some of the current priorities on both sides are identified, starting with Flood Prevention & Droughts, followed by Water Resources Management; Agriculture & Food Security, and Protection of the Environment.
Flood prevention & droughts
South Sudan's annual rainfall may be high, but it is concentrated at certain parts of the year. This causes both flooding and droughts. It has several rivers that are permanently water-bearing, some of which have potential for riverine development. Water management has been high on the political agenda since South Sudan became independent.
Several parts of the country, such as Bor, Jonglei State, the Greater Pibor Administrative Area,Twic East county and Duk county, face regular (annual) floodings, disrupting the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people. Especially the years of 2019 and 2020 were particularly bad in terms of extreme and unprecedented floodings. The Netherlands Embassy does carry out an orientation on how water management may address the effects of Climate Change with specific attention for floods in the Bor-Jonglei state.
Water Resources Management/water management and drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene
South Sudan has some of the lowest rates of access to water andsanitation services. In both rural and urban areas, unserved populations depend on surface water sources such as rivers and streams, water pools and rain harvesting for drinking with hardly any purification. Water and sanitation related diseases are a major public health concern.
These problems call for not only provision of safe drinking water sources, but also for developing an institutional structure for the management of water facilities and active private sector participation. They can provide supplies and develop market oriented and sustainable water supply and sanitation solutions. Dutch private sector can play a crucial role in this process.
Furthermore, the seasonality of rainfall offers ample opportunities through introduction of a range of measures, varying from construction of water facilities for productive use to flood control works. The wet season can be used better by developing storage facilities that divert water to the right places in the dry season and increase soil moisture. In drier areas, rainwater harvesting techniques can provide opportunities to reduce risks.
As a pioneer in integrated water resources management in South Sudan, the Netherlands can share its knowledge and models on WASH/IWRM.
Agriculture & food security
Decades of war and conflict have left South Sudan food insecure and dependent on food imports. About 80% of its population lives in rural areas and relies on agriculture for their livelihoods, but years of war have destroyed farming skills and traditions. Agriculture therefore needs to be largely rebuilt from scratch. External shocks like floods and droughts occur regularly in South Sudan and aggravate food insecurity. The main challenge is to translate South Sudan's abundant resources and workforce potential into better human and development outcomes. In this connection, agriculture is sometimes seen as South Sudan's 'green gold'.
The greatest potential for initial new growth is likely to come from the small scale private, predominantly family agriculture and livestock activities. This sector can be enhanced through addressing human capacity (economic literacy and numeracy) and modern farming and livestock production methods. Complementary to this, improved access to inputs, tools, technology, equipment, and markets will make a difference. The Dutch water sector might help by offering an integrated approach to water and agrifood, combining techniques and information on soil fertility, soil moisture, water buffering capacity and irrigation.
Protection of the environment
The GRSS' water management agenda also includes protection of the environment, in particular wetland ecosystems (with the Sudd as the largest), decreased infiltration because of forest clearing, and soil degradation due to expanding agriculture. Water quality is a concern in oil extraction areas.
Here it might be worthwhile to share knowledge from the cross-sectoral integration between spatial planning, nature conservation and water policy that the Netherlands has applied in its national context. Furthermore, Nature Based Solutions, which the Netherlands has great expertise in, might be well placed here.
Express your interest in involvement in the South Sudanese water sector
This call is a way for NWP to take stock of the Dutch water sector organisations that are interested to become active in South Sudan, or possibly already are, and what their (thematic) areas of interest in the country are. Based on this information, we can tailor our offer more precisely for the upcoming South Sudan Platform Meeting in November 2021.
Are you a Dutch water organisation active in South Sudan, and interested to keep up to date with current opportunities and developments in South Sudan? Or are you keen to become active in South Sudan and would you like to know more about the possibilities for Dutch Water Sector involvement in South Sudan to help solve its pressing water issues?

With house prices soaring, making it increasingly hard to get onto the property ladder, many are wondering whether it is actually worth buying a house, or simply renting. I’ll go through the pros and cons of both.
Firstly, let’s talk about the pros of buying your own property.
- You are more secure being a home owner than a renter because you living there isn’t dependent on a landlord.
- It is long term. If you have a family or are in a long-term relationship, you may be looking for stability, and consistency which makes the commitment of buying a property a logical next step.
- More freedom. Being the owner of the property you live in means you can do what you like with your house, as opposed to being bound by restrictions stated in your contract if you’re renting.
- It’s an investment. As I said earlier, property prices are increasing annually, making houses an investment. Although buying a house can be long term, you can also use the money from selling it to buy a different, more expensive house in the future. If you are looking to sell your property, look up Estate Agents Cheltenham. I highly recommend Me and You Estate Agents if you’re looking to sell in the Gloucestershire area.
The cons include paying the mortgage. If you are struggling financially, paying your mortgage can feel like a burden. Moreover, falling behind on payments can have negative consequences, making it harder for you to buy again in the future.
Another disadvantage to owning a home is that it will be your responsibility to maintain, furnish or re-decorate your home. These are obviously extra costs you have to take into account when assessing whether you can afford to buy.
The big question is whether it’s cheaper to rent or buy. The answer is that it depends on where you live. In some places, such as London, the rent is so high that if you can afford it of course, it would potentially be better, when thinking long term, to invest in property.
Some pros of renting include not being bound to live in one place for years to come. This can make your life a lot more flexible and give you more freedom to consider trying out other places, or travel for extended periods of time. Moreover, renting allows you to live in places that you could not otherwise afford if you were looking to buy.
To summarise, there are benefits and disadvantages to both renting and buying. Consider contacting an estate agent if you want to know more. Finally, it really depends on where you live as well as your own personal circumstances and financial situation. | <urn:uuid:e63ceb58-1e0e-4b4b-ac44-0fd96abac59d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://hdecorideas.com/is-it-better-to-rent-or-buy-a-house-in-2021/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.962062 | 546 | 1.671875 | 2 |
A low sense of self-worth can be detrimental to your life, but luckily, you can build your confidence level with relative ease to lead a happy and fulfilling life.
An old Buddhist saying goes, “we are perfect as we are, and we could all use a little work.”
Like Personal Growth on Facebook
How you feel about yourself determines how you view the world and how you interact with other people. It also shapes your reactions to life situations. The first ingredient for a fulfilling life is working on your inner environment and building your self-confidence. A high sense of self-esteem enables you to define what is important in life and make the best decisions. Think of yourself as a ship in a rough sea with towering waves and rolling winds.
With a fresh and serene internal environment, you can sail through the inclement weather like a ship in the stormy sea, never yielding to external pressure, but always heading towards the destination. In this case, the destination is your self-worth, well-being, and happiness.
1. Begin By Acceptance
Movies, societal expectations, and social and cultural backgrounds play significant roles in defining the beliefs you hold dear in life. In some cases, they’re positive, while in some unfortunate situations, they are negative and terribly so. In a society that idolizes television and movie stars, beauty often constrains towards unrealistic standards. As a result, many people have serious misgivings about their looks, and it dents their confidence.
They go about life thinking they are not good enough and espouse some limiting beliefs: “I’m not smart enough, attractive enough” or, “I am too fat, too slow, or too plain” are some of the common beliefs people buy readily. Rather than give into these baseless stereotypes, begin by accepting that everyone is different and unique. As such, you should not strive to be like anyone else. You are different, not inferior, and with a little bit of effort, you can discover your strong points and achieve greatness in life.
2. Focus On Your Strong Points
Life is not a competition, and you should not fight to conform to set standards, especially if that entails inflicting a considerable amount of pain on yourself. Packing a few extra pounds or not making the top in your class is not reason enough to consider yourself inferior. People differ in their capabilities and interests, and you should be proud of your accomplishments. Giving your best to every task you set out to do should fill you with a sense of pride regardless of the outcome.
Sometimes, you may have insufficient skills, experience or little time to prepare. Whatever you do, do not beat yourself up over your shortcomings. Rather, you should work on eliminating the weaknesses. Some skills take time to build and hone to perfection.
Divide a blank writing pad into three columns: what you excel in, skills you are learning and skills you need to learn, and fill them in appropriately. Systematically work on the ones that are less than adequate until you are confident in your mastery.
3. Do Not Make Compromises To Appease Other People
People have a driving need to belong in a group, and at times, it means that they do it at great personal cost. Do not be afraid to be different or step into the unknown, regardless of the brooding fears that loom over you. Taking the road less traveled has been the turning point for many people. For instance, the most influential and successful people embrace their abilities fully and leverage them to their advantage.
Many modern-day inventors such as Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs ditched formal schooling to pursue their passion, and it paid off in spades. If they had listened to dissenting voices or opted to blend in, they would never have realized their dreams and changed the world.
4. Do Not Be A Slave To Your Past
The malleability of the human brain continues to baffle scientists to date as they continue to make discoveries every day. With more than a billion cells at your disposal, you are capable of achieving great feats. Your learning capacity hinges on your brain developing pathways that let you remember and perform tasks effortlessly. Regardless of your social status, age or stage in life, your brain boasts the ability to accommodate new knowledge and learn new skills.
As such, you have a chance to gain supremacy in a new field of interest and excel at it. Therefore, one door closing in your life should not cause you to despair and lose your self-respect and sense of self-worth. You can change your career direction and lead a better life. It is common for people to make critical mistakes when choosing their paths early on in life. Rather than stick to a path that causes you untold grief, take charge and pursue your dreams. It is only by identifying your interests that you can make plans towards fulfilling them.
5. Focus All Your Efforts On The Present
Fear leads people to put their dreams and aspirations on the back-burner, and it causes them great despair. Your inability to overcome the paralyzing fears can ding your confidence and lower your self-esteem. Set your goals, and starting from where you are now, work towards making them a reality. Thanks to advancements in technology, you have ready access to useful information. You need to build your skills or knowledge base, and there are many credible sources on the internet to help you along.
Identify the leading figures in your field of interest, and visit their websites and social media pages. In most cases, they offer great insights into the subject matter, and you can begin to hone your skills. By committing to making small progress every day, you make steady progress towards your goals.
6. Surround Yourself With Positive People
“Show me your friends, and I’ll tell you who you are,” is a famous adage that holds true to date. The people you spend a lot of time with have a considerable influence in your life. Some of them are supportive of your hopes and dreams. Others can be parasitic, sucking the energy and happiness out of your life. Good and supportive people are not exactly saintly in nature. They are supportive, encouraging and motivate you to achieve your hopes and dreams.
However, that does not mean that they only serve to complement your life. The best of friends also question the soundness of your logic and approach to certain issues. They are not hesitant to point out flaws and mistakes or point you in the right direction. In other words, they have your best interest at heart. They will not shy away from correcting you when you are in the wrong.
In closing, your sense of self-worth allows a considerable influence in your life. Building your self-confidence is the first step towards leading a healthy and fulfilling life. It is a gradual process but with the right approach, you can improve your life drastically and breeze past any hurdles you come across. | <urn:uuid:a88488c9-358b-49ef-8e5f-892a35a601bf> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.personalgrowth.com/6-incredible-ways-to-supercharge-your-self-esteem-and-lead-a-terrific-life/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.958534 | 1,429 | 2.375 | 2 |
Drug charge fuels debate about who should pay for hikers’ rescue
The discovery of drugs inside the car of a pair of hikers rescued in a multiday search has prompted Orange County officials to consider charging them for the $160,000 operation and fanned a debate on when people should pay for their misadventures.
One of the hikers, Nicolas Cendoya, was charged Tuesday with a felony count of methamphetamine possession after authorities said they found a small amount of the drug in the car the pair parked before setting off on an Easter Sunday hike.
Cendoya, 19, and with Kyndall Jack, 18, had little water and quickly got into trouble, calling authorities that night on a cellphone that stopped functioning before officials could pinpoint their location. They later spoke of becoming lost, disoriented and having hallucinations.
Two days into the multi-agency search for the couple in Trabuco Canyon, deputies looked through Cendoya’s green BMW for clues and found 497 milligrams of meth, according to the Orange County district attorney’s office.
Cendoya was ultimately found wandering shoeless and disoriented about half a mile from the car, and Jack was rescued the next day in shoulder-high brush. Officials said both were weak and suffering from dehydration.
Jack later said she had experienced vivid hallucinations that left her thinking she was being attacked by animals and that twigs were straws from which she could suck water. Cendoya said he thought he might be “in the afterlife” and grew so convinced he was being stalked by predators that he grabbed a sharp stick for defense
Both were briefly hospitalized.
The Sheriff’s Department said Tuesday that the hikers would not be billed for the effort, but by Thursday it had reversed course and said it was evaluating the emergency response to determine whether the hikers should be billed.
Gail Krause, a spokeswoman with the Sheriff’s Department, said in an e-mail that there is legal authority for seeking reimbursement from counties if one of their residents has to be rescued in another county. But Cendoya and Jack are Orange County residents.
“The recent drug charge on Cendoya may change things,” she said.
Todd Spitzer, a member of the Orange County Board of Supervisors, said he called for an independent investigation of the case before the drug charges were announced.
“They didn’t go out there to hike, they went out there to get high. And they got disoriented,” Spitzer alleged.
The supervisor said he’s evaluating all remedies, including civil and criminal action. He hopes to have a recommendation to the board in the coming weeks.
“The financial implications of this are way more than $160,000,” he said, adding that it will cost the county six figures in workers’ compensation to care for the reserve deputy who seriously injured his vertebrae during the rescue. The Sheriff’s Department said its figure did not include the man’s care.
Shawn Nelson, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, said charging the hikers for the cost of their rescue could be tricky because public safety agencies shouldn’t make such decisions based on costs. He said that although the hikers’ actions were “stupid” and possibly “illegal,” the debate required more than a knee-jerk reaction.
“I guess the struggle is, when do people make stupid mistakes and when do people put others in harm?” he said.
Nelson said there is a conversation worth having, but it shouldn’t be under the purview of county supervisors.
“If we know in advance that an individual can’t pay, does that mean we don’t bother looking for him?” he asked.
John Moorlach, a supervisor and avid hiker, asked why taxpayers should be penalized for what he saw as the reckless actions of the teenagers.
Moorlach said he had a hunch about the teenagers during the search.
“We certainly want to save them but, by golly, you were saved and you owe your society a debt of gratitude,” he said, “and you need to pay the bill.”

The 14 day EC50 based on reduced fresh weight of germinated seedlings is >1000 µg/kg soil for o-xylene. Analytical monitoring showed that concentrations of o-xylene had reduced to <10% of nominal by the end of the exposure, so the true effect value is lower than that reported.
A single study to investigate the effects of
o-xylene on terrestrial plants was found. This study reported a 14 day
EC50 of >1 mg/kg nominal, although analytical measurements indicated
that <10% nominal remained at the end of the test. The methods used in
study were equivalent to OECD 208 (1984). The main deviations from this
guideline were a higher clay content than recommended, and the reporting
of results at 14 days post sowing, not 14 days post germination of the
controls. Insufficient details are given in the paper to allow us to
conclude whether the validity criteria of the test were met as results
from the controls are not reported. Despite these restrictions this
study does allow us to conclude that major effects on the growth of
lettuce are not seen at the highest concentration tested although this
is probably due to reduced exposure due to volatilisation or
biodegradation. The results from this study will not be used to
calculate a PNEC in the risk assessment due to these limitations.
The EU RAR (ECB 2007) discusses a single
study on the toxicity of ethylbenzene to terrestrial plants via the
atmosphere (Ivens, 1952). The study exposed the leaves of plants to
concentrations of ethylbenzene as vapour for 1 hour and found that the
NOEC was very close to the concentration which killed leaves completely.
The reported EC50 are 27 g/m3 for runner bean (Phaseolus multiflorus)
and 48 g/m3 for parsnip (Pastinaca sativa).
The Draft Screening Assessment Report
(Environment Canada 2014) presents results from ESG International (2002)
for the toxicity of ethylbenzene to Northern wheatgrass of 14 day LC25
of 3 mg/kg dw (coarse sandy loam). The Northern Wheatgrass value was
taken by Environment Canada as the critical toxicity value for
ethylbenzene toxicity to terrestrial species.

Lake Erie provides drinking water for 11 million people, and an unusual tactic to protect it was just adopted in Toledo, Ohio: On Tuesday, Toledoans passed the “Lake Erie Bill of Rights” in a special election, with 61 percent voting yes on a ballot measure that could allow citizens to sue polluters on behalf of the lake.
“This is the first in the nation in terms of rights-of-nature law being adopted by a municipality over a certain ecosystem, and I think it’s the beginning of more things to come in that area,” said Thomas Linzey, executive director and chief legal counsel for the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, which helped local activists draft the bill.
The ballot measure will amend the city’s charter to establish that Lake Erie has the right to “exist, flourish, and naturally evolve.” The goal of giving the lake legal rights, Linzey said, is for activists to be able to do “a survey of who’s the biggest polluters into the lake” and then bring lawsuits “to stop that pollution,” he said.
Runoff pollution is a major cause of Lake Erie’s algae blooms, which can make water toxic to fish, wildlife, and people. This kind of pollution occurs “when rainfall washes fertilizer and manure spread on large farm fields into streams that flow into Lake Erie,” according to the Alliance for the Great Lakes.
Past problems with Lake Erie’s water quality prompted organizers to think about new ways to safeguard it. Back in 2014, the City of Toledo issued an advisory for residents not to drink municipal water after chemical tests found unsafe levels of an algal toxin. The toxic algae bloom left 110 people sick and nearly half a million without tap water. Ohio even declared a state of emergency.
“For three days in 2014, we lost access to our drinking water, and we didn’t see any action come out of that,” Markie Miller, an organizer for Toledoans for Safe Water, told CityLab. “We wanted to do something for ourselves.”
The concept of giving rights to nature originates, at least within the U.S., from an article by Christopher Stone published in 1972 in the Southern California Law Review: “Should Trees Have Standing? — Toward Legal Rights for Natural Objects.” Since then, the idea has gained traction internationally. In 2008, Ecuador became the first country to recognize rights of nature in its national constitution. And in 2010, Bolivia’s legislative assembly passed the “Law of the Rights of Mother Earth.”
The basic principle is that of legal standing: Under the U.S. Constitution, to have standing, one needs to show direct injury to oneself caused by some entity, and there must be some redress, or remedy, that can be found in court. Activists hope that with these new rights, Lake Erie will have standing in court without needing to demonstrate injury to a human.
The U.S. Clean Water Act addresses point-source pollution, from a confined and discrete source. But a significant percentage of what plagues Lake Erie is diffuse, non-point-source pollution, such as excess fertilizers from agriculture and urban stormwater runoff.
The fact that Toledoans endorsed such an unusual means to combat pollution reflects an understanding that current regulations aren’t sufficient, said Madeline Fleisher, senior attorney in the Environmental Law & Policy Center’s Columbus office. “The citizens of Toledo are clearly and rightfully frustrated. I understand why they’re trying novel approaches to try to get those issues addressed.” (As is common in local special elections, turnout in Toledo’s was low; just shy of 9 percent of registered voters cast ballots.)
The proposal has been contentious. The board of elections in Lucas County (whose seat is Toledo) voted to block it from the ballot in the November 2018 election. After several months of debate, the board ultimately voted in December to add it to the February special election because of an Ohio Supreme Court decision, as the Toledo Blade reported. One board member said he still believed the measure was “on its face unconstitutional and unenforceable.”
Opponents of the Lake Erie Bill of Rights are concerned about the costs of litigation for farms and businesses. The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation already pledged its support for a lawsuit farmer Mark Drewes filed in the Federal District Court for Northern Ohio Wednesday, challenging the constitutionality of the bill.
“Farmers want and are working toward improving water quality, but this new Toledo law hurts those efforts. Mark Drewes understands this, and it’s Farm Bureau’s job to back his important actions on behalf of Ohio farmers,” the executive vice president of the Ohio Farm Bureau, Adam Sharp, said in a statement.
The suit contends that the measure violates federal constitutional rights, including equal protection and freedom of speech. Additionally, it argues that the bill of rights violates Ohio state law in several ways. For example, it contends that Toledo as a local government cannot override the Ohio state governing structure of Lake Erie, since the Ohio Department of Natural Resources governs the lake under state law.
“One of the biggest challenges that the [Lake Erie] Bill of Rights will have is moving from vision to enactment,” said Cinnamon Carlarne, an Ohio State University law professor. “That is part of a larger conversation trying to advance the role that law plays in protecting ecosystems for a variety of reasons — not the least of which is that we are, as humans, fundamentally dependent on them.” | <urn:uuid:d13730e8-341e-4e36-b446-ce51ef5aae50> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://grist.org/article/why-toledo-just-gave-legal-rights-to-lake-erie/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.956749 | 1,167 | 3.3125 | 3 |

For the third holiday season in a row, the CheerLights project is gearing up. The idea behind CheerLights is to show that we are all connected by synchronizing the color of lights around the world. Christmas lights are a staple around the holidays and with Internet-connected lights, the color of your lights matches the color of everyone else’s lights.
It has been a real treat watching this project evolve as more and more people add lights… and other things. Things like Android and iPhone apps that check the latest color of CheerLights, Christmas trees, and robots.
To control the lights around the world, send a Tweet mentioning @CheerLights and a color. The command is processed by the ThingSpeak IoT analytics platform and distributed to all of the lights listening to the CheerLights API.
@CheerLights I am dreaming of a White Christmas
Internet of Things
Another powerful aspect of the CheerLights project is that is shows off what is possible with the emerging Internet of Things. With a single message sent via a social network like Twitter, 1000′s of objects around the world are in sync with each other. Lights are connected by many types of controllers, such as Arduino, ioBridge, Philips, and the Raspberry Pi. This project is only possible through the Internet and the coordination of developers around the world.
In the article, “How the Internet of Things Will Change Our Lives“, CheerLights is included to indicate how we are connected and how objects may bring people closer.
Learn how to join the project at CheerLights.com.
We are all connected…

How Does Low Income Housing Work?
Sometimes we get asked about our knowledge of low-income housing, section 8 housing, and affordable housing. The lack of this type of housing an issue not only in Philadelphia, New Jersey, Delaware, and the Lehigh Valley, but nationwide in the US.
Here at Property Buyer Connect, we understand that unfortunately people get into bad situations. For one reason or another, it seems that there is no choice but to let go of your house or property in exchange for cash, to sort out a certain situation in life. However, that does not mean that you can’t be a homeowner again, or benefit from various public and non-profit offerings to help you get back on your feet.
In this article we will provide a resource for people looking for low income, section 8, and affordable housing.
Philadelphia Low Income Housing
Philadelphia has various low-income housing programs. This article by the Inquirer provides a great summary of all the different programs available. There, they explain the difference between affordable housing and public or subsidized housing. Affordable housing is still private housing, just at a low-income threshold. Public or subsidized housing is partially or fully paid by the government.
PHA – The Philadelphia Housing Authority seeks to provide affordable and subsidized housing for people with limited income. Also check out PHA’s Housing Choice Voucher Program (formerly called section 8) and Public Housing Program.
Philadelphia has recently also brought back its popular buyer grant program. Dubbed the Philly First Home program, it offers up to $10,000 to cover first time home buyers and closing costs. This will help thousands of first-time home buyers get closer to their goal of homeownership.
Delaware Low Income Housing
Delaware also has various affordable housing options, like Philadelphia. The Delaware State Housing Authority is a good place to start.
The New Castle County DCS manages vouchers in Wilmington and Newark, specifically.
DelawareHousingSearch.org is a listing site for private (market rate), subsidized as well as affordable housing options throughout the state of Delaware.
Here is a link to the Delaware 211 information hotline.
Lehigh Valley Low Income Housing
The Lehigh County Housing Authority is a centralized website that has all the information you need about low income, voucher (section 8) and other programs. They aim to provide affordable housing to qualified people throughout the valley. There they have a comprehensive list of building units that are affordable (not subsidized). The buildings are located all over the valley – Bethlehem, Whitehall, Catasauqua, Allentown, etc. They also have information about the housing voucher program, how to apply, and much more information.
The PA Housing Finance Agency provides homeowner and rental assistance across the state of Pennsylvania. They recently launched a $350 million homeowner assistance fund (PAHAF), which took place on Feb 1, 2022.
PA 211 is a great resource for all PA residents that are looking for a variety of assistance, not just housing. They are your one-stop shop for all questions if you don’t know where to begin. They handle questions regarding payment assistance for housing, mortgage delinquency & payment consultations, payment assistance for utilities, subsidized housing, home improvement, and more.

The nation’s school libraries will benefit from spin-offs of the recently held Jazz It Grenada! (JIG) event. Jazz It Grenada! was the brainchild of local musician Nigel John. The two day main event was held from 29–30 March at Prickly Bay Marina.
On Thursday 3 April Prickly Bay Marina hosted the UNESCO International Jazz Day Educational Programme, sponsored by the Organization of American States (OAS). International performers from ‘Jazz It Grenada’ who remained on island, took part in this special programme. Over 75 secondary students with an aptitude or interest in music, attended.
Presentation Boys College (PBC) students, Anderson Antoine and Ceyron Belfon, who are members of PBC choir, stated that their attendance at the programme was in an effort to ascertain whether any jazz renditions could be introduced into the choir’s repertoire.
Visiting South African student, Michael Newman, who plays the djembe (West African drum) stated, “This whole experience is really amazing, hearing the musicians play and their passion is just incredible.”
Keith Walcott, the main speaker for the programme was ably supported by US Chargé d’Affairs, Louis Crishock. He stated emphatically to the students that “Jazz is a way of life and an attitude. It requires practice, practice, practice, discipline and the Almighty. Learning these things will help you in every area of life.”
Darren Turner presented Ms Lillian Sylvester, Director of Library Services and Ms Merryl Baptist–Lord, representative from Ministry of Education, with thousands of dollars worth of reading and educational books, purchased with funds collected from the Jazz It Grenada event. Cruisers based at the Prickly Bay Marina sorted the books to have them ready for delivery to the Ministry on 4 April for dissemination to school libraries around the island. | <urn:uuid:55bd5e55-313f-4294-8166-05b8ff20b3b5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.nowgrenada.com/2014/04/jazz-grenada-benefits-school-libraries/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573623.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819035957-20220819065957-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.952482 | 399 | 1.960938 | 2 |
Watch out for this new Social Security call spoofing scam: Internet Scambusters #833
Call spoofing -- a trick scammers use to hide their phone identity and pretend to be someone else -- now accounts for around half of all incoming calls, according to some observers.
By fooling victims into believing the call is from someone they know or a legitimate organization like a bank or government office, the crooks are out to try to steal confidential information.
In the latest call spoofing case, scammers pretend to be from the U.S. Social Security Administration -- but you won't lose money if you follow two simple steps, as we report in this week's issue.
Let's get started...
Call Spoofing: Why You Should Never Trust Caller ID
A new Social Security call spoofing scam provides all the evidence needed for why you should never trust caller ID.
Spoofing is a computer tactic used by scammers to trick your caller ID service. Instead of revealing who's on the line, a spoofed call appears to come from someone else -- in fact, whoever the scammer wants it to be.
According to Hiya, a company that specializes in blocking spam phone calls, more than half of all calls received by its customers in the first half of this year were spoofed -- both on landlines and cell phones.
In the latest incident, the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) says crooks are spoofing its main customer service line -- 800-772-1213.
Mostly, however, that number is used by folks dialing into the SSA, not for outgoing calls from the organization. So if it shows up on your caller ID, there a pretty good chance it's a fake call.
In this case, as so often, the scammers are after personal information including your Social Security number (SSN), which they can use for identity theft. They may even try threatening to cut off your benefits if you don't give them the info.
But, when you think of it, how could someone cut off your benefit when they supposedly don't know your SSN? It's a dead giveaway for a scam.
In other cases, they may claim to be offering an increase in benefits in return for your cooperation.
SSA Acting Inspector General Gale Stone says the Administration doesn't ask for SSNs if it has to phone people for customer service purposes. Nor, of course, do they make threats to withdraw benefit.
If you get one of these calls, the best solution is not to answer it at all. But if you do and the caller asks for your SSN, it's definitely not the Social Security people -- so just hang up.
If you're worried, you can always call that same number given above and connect to the genuine department to check.
You can also visit www.medicare.gov/fraud to learn more about keeping your number and your card out of the hands of crooks.
Another favorite call spoofing trick that scammers are increasingly using is to mimic local area phone code calls, which they know people are more likely to answer, especially if the number is similar to the victim's own number.
Jonathan Nelson, director of Reputation Data at Hiya was recently quoted by the Consumer Affairs website as saying: "Scammers are never idle with their tactics and, with the neighbor scam, they are experimenting with all the ways to spoof their number to get consumers to pick up the phone."
Once again, the best tactic is to ignore calls that come from numbers you don't recognize. And if you do recognize it but it turns out to be a spoofed call, hang up.
A couple of things you shouldn't do: Don't get involved in a conversation if the caller is a real person. Just hang up.
And, if it's a recorded call (robocall) that invites you to key in a certain number to eliminate future calls, don't do that either. The scammers just use that as an indicator that you're really there on the end of the line and that, potentially, you're gullible.
Unfortunately, there's no sign of an improvement in the spoofing crime or in the reduction of robocalls.
Another spam-blocking company, First Orion, recently told a government hearing on call spoofing earlier this year: "The fraudsters are very sophisticated, evolving their practices to avoid being labeled or blocked. As a result, we are in an arms race, not a marathon with a finish line, and will be in it until we make it unprofitable."
And the Washington Post says that half of all complaints received by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) were about unwanted calls. The FCC estimates Americans received around 2.4 billion unwanted calls every month.
Yes, you can try to limit unwanted calls by signing up for the free Do Not Call registry (1-888-382-1222). But crooks are unlikely to take any notice of this list.
If you're lucky, your phone service provider also may offer some kind of call filtering service.
Or you can consider using call-blocking services such as those mentioned here (we're not recommending them as we haven't tested them).
Remember, the scammers are constantly trying to find ways around call-blocking technology.
Ultimately, your best defense is, first, to be wary and skeptical whenever your phone starts ringing, ignoring or doubting your caller ID.
Second, if you do pick up, refuse absolutely to give confidential information in response to any incoming call. After all, there's a near 50 percent chance it's a call spoofing scam.
Alert of the Week
What do you know about your rights and responsibilities when you lose your credit or debit card or your card info gets stolen and, in either case, used for fraudulent purposes?
Contrary to what you might think, the rules are quite simple. And now the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has produced an easy to read guide that's definitely worth downloading and keeping handy.
That's it for today -- we hope you enjoy your week! | <urn:uuid:c9e49aec-dd84-411d-b596-4e338773e5ca> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://new.scambusters.org/callspoofing.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.954652 | 1,263 | 1.992188 | 2 |

CRISPR-based Gene Editing
Current treatment of exudative retinal diseases such as neovascular or “wet” age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy includes intraocular injections of drugs that target vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). These anti-VEGF agents require frequent injections into the eye, which is costly and a burden to patients. Our laboratory demonstrated the use of novel CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology to permanently suppress VEGF secretion from human retinal cells. Using viral vectors that have been used safely in human gene therapy clinical trials, this technology has the potential to permanently suppress aberrant vessel growth (termed “angiogenesis”) in these retinal conditions. | <urn:uuid:f5d1ddb7-145e-4e12-be3c-1cb2fce372e8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://health.ucdavis.edu/eyecenter/yiulab/CRISPR-basedGeneEditing.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.90392 | 156 | 2.78125 | 3 |
Here is what you will need: Dyed pasta (different varieties), muffin tins, ladles, spoons, measuring cups, ice cream scoop, and whatever else looks like fun to play with.
Let you children's imagination take them away. This kept my children busy for an hour (might have been more but they had to go to bed). They loved playing with the dyed pasta!
Here is what you will need: Glasses, water, food coloring, spoon.
1. Fill your glasses with different amounts of water.
2. Put several drops of food coloring into each glass.
3. Using the back of the spoon have your children gently tap the top of each glass.
4. Have your children "play" different songs, like "Twinkle, Twinkle" or "Jingle Bells".
This activity is perfect for infants! It is as simple as cutting out foam ducks and putting them in a baggie of blue paint. This sensory activity stimulates the brain with its bright colors and the cool Squishy feeling of the paint in the bag. Pop it in the fridge for a few minutes on a hot day to help your child cool down while playing.
Materials needed: Blue paint (hair gel can also be used), yellow foam, baggie, tape, scissors.
1. Cut out a few yellow ducks

People always had an idea of transforming objects into intelligent beings coming to real life. This dates back even to ancient civilizations. Egyptians and Chinese had built automatons and Greeks had myths about robots. It was just imagination and science fiction of writers, but today we have some roots in our lives. It’s probably the most powerful technology from humans. People were always very optimistic when it comes to creating artificial intelligence. Having information means having control, and if our universe is about information, then artificial intelligence will be of great benefit for understand all of it.
But, creating something like artificial intelligence should be monitored to see changes happening in the process, outcomes can be wonderful but also terrible. The idea of artificial intelligence is to reach technological singularity which means that some kind of super intelligence will be born in this century, and advancements in technology from that point will come so fast that most people will not be able to keep up with it. It’s the point from where the future can’t be understood, the same way black holes in universe are beyond singularity where laws of physics just can’t be applied.
Imagine how greatly will teleportation of information be improved. For example, when Voayer 1 sends messages it takes over 10 hours for them to be transmitted to earth. By using teleportation sending will be practically instantly because of quantum level, this all will be able with help of artificial intelligence. It’s funny because when you watch Hollywood movies, it’s obvious that Hollywood hates artificial intelligence, or it shows it as some kind of threat to human beings.
Throughout human history, making some kind of artificial intelligence was not so successful. The field of studying was produced in 1956. There was a period of 6 years from 1974 to 1980 that people used to call artificial intelligence winter, because nothing specially happened. From 1993 studying was finally revived, until all the way up to 1997 year, when the computer Deep Blue beat Garry Kasparov in a chess game, he was at that time champion. In 2011, not so long ago, computer won on quiz ”Jeopardy” and beat 2 champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter.
The truth is no matter how you think of artificial intelligence in the end it’s construction of human minds. It will be builder or destroyed, it depends on how we create it. Today people are finally starting to recognize true power of artificial intelligence. I can’t write this without mentioning 2 of the pioneers in this field, Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk. They are 2 individuals who are continually talking about artificial intelligence. Sometimes discussions are heading towards thinking that artificial intelligence will create scenarios for doomsday, there is always that feeling it will be used for positive things.
Great thing about artificial intelligence is its ability to learn new data it collects all the time. The more stuff it collects its predictions are going to be more precise. Artificial intelligence also have biggest impact in offices. Machines are helping in productivity like never seen before. It changed how people are doing business. Did you knew that Japanese company was the first one to make nomination for artificial intelligence member, because of its ability to predict trends in market more faster then people. In few years, this technology will be used in every day life from cars that are self driven to space exploration. I think there is nothing to fear from artificial intelligence, it represents our greatest human and individual potential, and going into future is hard to imagine with it. | <urn:uuid:5e16db58-4612-4bfd-849f-0d010cb00516> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://rumorfix.com/the-evolution-of-artificial-intelligence/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.955724 | 702 | 2.859375 | 3 |
The Biology of Spiders according to the publisher “has established itself as the supreme authority on these fascinating creatures.” – OUP. This book is very insightful and probably will cover everything about spiders themselves. It may be the only book you will ever need on the scientific study of spiders; there is no other book that I know of like it. The author did very well to make it very academic and scholarly while still being able to be understood by any interested reader; it could easily be used for a university class on Arachnology.
What This Book is Not
It should be noted at the beginning of this review that if you are searching for a book that will guide you in keeping or raising spiders or as a field guide for identification, the Biology of Spiders is NOT the book you want. This book is not about husbandry or identification but rather the biology of spiders. If you want to know more about husbandry, even for true spiders, I would recommend The Tarantula Keeper’s Guide: Comprehensive Information on Care, Housing, and Feeding by Stanley A. Schultz and Marguerite J. Schultz. Although this book was specially written for the care of tarantulas, it can certainly be used for the care of true spiders.
The book Biology of Spiders has lots of diagrams and pictures, which helps with understanding the material and keeping the reader engaged.
Table of Contents:
The book is a little expensive, but I believe it will not disappoint if you are interested in learning about the areas of study mentioned above. Overall, I certainly do recommend this book. The only down side is the book was last published in 2011, so its not the most update resource.

Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are growing in prevalence in both the outpatient and inpatient settings and are some of the most common diseases seen by dermatologists, who are often the first point of care for these patients. Microbial resistance to antibiotics continues to rise as more virulent strains evolve, and strains predominantly found in the hospital setting are now being seen in the community. Therefore, innovative approaches to combat this trend are needed. Glutathione (GSH) is a well-described and established antioxidant. It participates in detoxification of xenobiotics, regulation of cellular growth, modulation of immune response, and maintenance of the thiol status of proteins and cellular cysteine levels. GSH is also known to have a regulatory effect on immune cells and even inherent antibacterial properties have been reported. To this end, the value of GSH as an antibiotic was evaluated by growing methicillin resistant S. aureus, E. coli, K. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa strains isolated from human skin and soft tissue infection in the presence of GSH. At a physiologic concentration of 10mM, GSH had no effect on bacterial growth. At concentrations above 50 mM, which created acidic conditions (pH < 4), bacterial growth was completely inhibited. When adjusted to physiologic pH, GSH exhibited a bacteriostatic effect in a concentration- dependent manner. Additionally, the cytotoxicity of GSH was evaluated in a murine cell line. GSH was relatively non-toxic to murine macrophages, even at the highest concentration tested (160 mM). These results suggest the potential utility of GSH for the prevention and/or as adjunctive treatment of infection, most significantly in disease states associated with GSH deficiency.

By BETHANY BLANKLEY
THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR
(The Center Square) – After the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday overturned two landmark abortion cases in Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey returning the legality of abortion to the states, laws already on the books outlawing abortion are enforceable in Texas.
A bill banning abortion in Texas that the legislature passed and Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law last year will soon go into effect.
Roe began after a lawsuit was filed in Dallas County challenging sections of a 1961 Texas Penal code that criminalized abortion. The Supreme Court held that the sections were unconstitutional and issued a permanent injunction preventing them from being enforced. However, those statutes are still on the books; the legislature never repealed them. Now that Roe is overturned, the 1973 injunction will be lifted.
But in the event that Roe were overturned, the state legislature also passed the Human Life Protection Act of 2021, enhancing civil penalties and criminality for performing abortions in Texas. Sponsored by state Rep. Giovanni Capriglione and Sen. Angela Paxton, it goes into effect on the 30th day after Roe is overturned.
But when that is remains unclear, Attorney General Ken Paxton said in guidance he issued. The Supreme Court issued a ruling only Friday. The Texas law will take effect after the court issues a judgement, which may be in a month. When that happens, Mr. Paxton’s office will announce an effective date for the law, he said.
He also notes that “some prosecutors may choose to immediately pursue criminal prosecutions based on violations of Texas abortion prohibitions predating Roe that were never repealed by the Texas Legislature. Although these statutes were unenforceable while Roe was on the books, they are still Texas law. Under these pre-Roe statutes, abortion providers could be criminally liable for providing abortions starting today.”
The 2021 law creates a second-degree felony offense for a person who knowingly performs, induces, or attempts an abortion. The offense is enhanced to a first-degree felony if an unborn child dies from an abortion. Those who perform abortions can also be subject to a minimum civil penalty of $100,000 for each violation, with exceptions.
The law also requires the attorney general to pursue and recover the civil penalties as well as attorney fees and costs incurred when doing so and requires respective licensing authorities to revoke applicable licenses and permits of physicians or health care professionals who violate the law.
Mr. Paxton said he will “strictly enforce this law” and his office will “assist any local prosecutor who pursues criminal charges.”
The law provides an exception for medical emergencies including “a life-threatening physical condition aggravated by, caused by, or arising from pregnancy that places the mother in danger of death or serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function unless an abortion is performed.”
While many characterize the ruling as an end to a constitutional right to abortion, no such right ever existed, Mr. Paxton, and many others, argue. Today’s ruling ended “a half century of the unconstitutional and unconscionable national ‘right’ to abortion,” he said.
“Roe v. Wade and its successor case Planned Parenthood v. Casey have absolutely no basis in the U.S. Constitution,” he asserted. “Nevertheless, for half a century, Americans have had to live under these illegitimate, illegal, and unconstitutional dictates of a partisan, willful Supreme Court. No more.
“Today, the question of abortion returns to the states. And in Texas, that question has already been answered: abortion is illegal here.”
Mr. Paxton’s offices closed at noon Friday “to honor the nearly 70 million unborn babies killed in the womb since 1973.”
Gov. Abbott lauded the ruling, saying, “The U.S. Supreme Court correctly overturned Roe v. Wade and reinstated the right of states to protect innocent, unborn children. Texas is a pro-life state, and we have taken significant action to protect the sanctity of life.”
Democrat Robert “Beto” O’Rourke, who’s running against Gov. Abbot in November, said the ruling was “devastating to women across this country but nowhere more so than in the state of Texas whose trigger law will go into effect 30 days from today.”
However, according to Mr. Paxton’s guidance, it doesn’t go into effect 30 days from Friday but when the court issues its judgment, meaning the law may not go into effect for another 60 days.
Mr. O’Rourke said, “we have to focus on the way in which we are going to overcome this and ensure that every Texas woman can make her own decisions about her own body, her own healthcare and her own future.”
Using the ruling as a campaign call for action, he said, “The only way to do this is to win political power. We must win on the night of November 8th. We’ve got to make sure we reach every single voter across the state of Texas and make sure they understand what’s on the line.”
Gov. Abbott highlighted how Texas has prioritized and funded resources for expecting mothers and families. Most recently, he signed bills into law extending Medicaid coverage for six months post-partum, appropriating $345 million for women’s health programs, and more than $100 million to Texas’ Alternatives to Abortion program. The statewide program promotes childbirth and provides support services to pregnant women and their families, adoptive parents, and parents who have experienced miscarriage or the loss of a child.
Through it, biological mothers and fathers of preborn children up to age three can access counseling, mentoring, care coordination, and receive material assistance, including housing. Assistance is also available for legal guardians, adult caregivers of minors and adoptive parents of children of any age for up to two years after adoption is finalized.
Texans can also receive assistance through numerous private nonprofit crisis pregnancy centers like Birth Choice in Dallas, the Trotter House in Austin, and Houston Pregnancy Help Center in Houston, pro-life advocates argue. The Texas Pregnancy Network also connects individuals and families to providers located near them that offer free services. | <urn:uuid:08812770-a6ee-48b1-bc08-49aba0a358b2> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://newspress.com/after-high-court-ruling-abortion-largely-illegal-in-texas/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.958512 | 1,324 | 1.679688 | 2 |
Consider your tattoo as a fresh wound. Good care and hygiene are crucial to healing, preventing infection and the appearance of your tattoo.
After your appointment:
- Remove the cling wrap after about 3 hours.
- Wash your tattoo with warm water preferably with a perfume-free, pH-neutral soap. Lightly tap dry with a clean towel and apply a thin layer of wound healing ointment (e.g. panthenol).
- Apply the same ointment to your tattoo whenever it starts to dry out, usually about 3-5 times a day for approximately 14 days until healed.
- Before applying the ointment, always wash with warm water and lightly tap dry with a clean towel.
- Only use a thin layer of ointment. Frequent, thick layers can soften the skin, which can lead to loss of color. Also, pustule could form. If not enough ointment is used it may develop a thick crust, which if torn could also lead to loss of color and scarring.
During the healing process, also:
- Avoid dirt and excessive sweating, as both can increase risk of infection!
- Only touch your tattoo with clean hands. Wear clean, lint-free clothes etc. and avoid sports and sauna.
- Public baths, seas and lakes can present a high risk of infection. Baths and long showers can also soften the skin, which can lead to loss of color.
- Avoid unnecessary touching, and never scratch or rub your tattoo! This could also lead to loss of color and scarring.
- Avoid your tattoo sticking to your clothes. If this happens, you should wet the affected area then carefully peel the clothes off the tattoo.
- Direct sun and tanning beds should be avoided for at least 4 weeks- if you’re sunburned and your skin peels, so will your tattoo!
- Even after 4 weeks its recommended that you always use high UV protection in the sun, otherwise your tattoo could fade more over time.

Discover the Latest Journals in the Field of Arts and Humanities
Arts and Humanities journals’ primary focus is on presenting theoretical and empirical research in these respective fields. The main goal is to encourage educational research and connect academia to the scientific community. Researchers and scholars need to share their research findings with others to help better understand and act on the ongoing social changes in the field. The Arts and Humanities journals aim to provide a platform for everyone who shares a common interest in these fields and to group all the latest field findings in one place.
It may not be crystal clear at first, but there is a connection between arts and humanities. They both study human experience through communication, either through words or other forms of creative expression. In truth, both fields are interdependent to the point that sometimes it’s hard to differentiate which field belongs to which category. For example, some journals and faculties will consider literary arts to be a part of the arts category, while others consider it to be part of humanities.
However, some common fields most often included in the Humanities category are anthropology, archeology, cultural studies, development studies, education, geography, history, journalism, languages, language history, law, literature, philosophy, religion, and teaching.
When it comes to art, common fields include visual arts (painting, drawing, design, fine art, sculpture, photography), performing arts (music, theater, dance), art history, and literary and culinary arts. Arts are usually considered a branch of the humanities, while languages are considered a part of arts. That’s why we often see scholars use the term “language arts” to refer to languages and literature.
Most Arts and Humanities journals welcome original research papers, case studies, essays, historical documentation, interviews, review articles, technical notes, artists’ writings, performance texts or plays, book reviews, and surveys from all over the world. For specific information on the particular article type accepted by each journal, make sure to check their respective webpages.
The majority of Arts and Humanities journals accept international submissions in multiple languages. Most journals will accept papers in English, but you’ll have to double-check which journals accept work in other languages.
The target audience for Arts and Humanities journals are social researchers, writers, scholars, curators, theorists, policymakers, and anyone interested in the Arts and Humanities fields.

In movement I of String Quartet no. 5 inversion shapes of the themes are recapitulated in reverse order – probably the most daring concept of a palindromic structure of a sonata-form movement in Bartók's realm. After all, for him a strict hin und zurück form with strong thematic characters was unthinkable. Already the strategy of this opening movement involved danger. If Theme I after a transition leads to Theme II, which leads to Theme III, as a dramatic series of actions, how could the reverse order of these themes be “natural”? To minimize the danger, in this movement Bartók reconsidered the usual dramaturgy of the exposition. Instead of a continuous growth of the musical “scenes” welded together, he presented three thematic blocks very much different in character, heavily punctuated by fragments of the first theme. Therefore, dramatic contrast rather than organic development is the key term, and so the reverse order of the thematic blocks in the recapitulation is less artificial.
The present paper is a preliminary study to a deeper understanding of Bartók's compositional process: how he filled the music paper even if the notation appears continuous. He did not always write the draft from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner but occasionally skipped some measures or phrases that he intended to write down later. Thus, the continuity draft is not necessarily regarded as a continuity; it might have consisted of fragments but they have been eventually concealed in the final form of the draft. This may directly affect our interpretation of Bartók's creative process. The present research takes the visual appearance of a draft as a clue to examine its hypothetical fragmentariness. Beginning with the examination of some actual blank spaces that were never filled, the paper deals with cases where the original existence of fragments is suggested by the extraordinary appearance of the draft, such as a blank space at the end of a system, notations in the margin, re-organization of bar-lines, etc. Besides systematic approaches to fragmentariness, the author offers some interpretation concerning the reasons why Bartók did not write the draft in an ordinary way. There might have been different explanations for the interruption of the linear compositional process. One of the important findings of this paper is that Bartók's bar-lines do not always mark metric accents but sometimes simply facilitate the performers' orientation. Even though the occasional special function of some of his bar-lines as mere markers of orientation is explained by Bartók in a letter to Rudolf Kolisch, the existence of philological evidence to this effect may further underline its validity and importance.
Although Sándor Veress achieved his first significant successes in Hungary and abroad at the turn of the 1930s and 1940s, musicological research still remains indebted to the detailed analysis of the composer's career related to the history of Hungarian music and cultural life. Based on press and archival documents, letters and recollections, and the historical literature of the period as well, the present study attempts to explore the socio-cultural environment that characterized and helped to unfold Veress's development. My study looks at the composer's network of contacts, his family ties and the political-ideological movements and relations with the Reformed Church that promoted his career, and examines their direct influence on Sándor Veress's works composed during this period, especially The Miraculous Flute (1937), the Japanese Symphony (1940) and Térszili Katica (1943).
As already pointed out by László Somfai in the late 1980s, Béla Bartók's first fully developed five-movement realization of the so-called “bridge” or “palindrome” form was only an afterthought, a further development of a composition originally intended as a cycle of four movements only. As also discussed briefly by Somfai, the evolution of the Allegretto, pizzicato movement itself had distinct stages. A recently surfaced source further clarifies these compositional phases, among others confirms the existence of a 140-measure-long version without a proper conclusion, which, at one point, the composer considered as a definitive version (for which only the ending needed to be composed) and tested with the Waldbauer-Kerpely Quartet. The present article re-examines the compositional process of Bartók's String Quartet no. 4 with an emphasis on its additional fourth movement and discusses the different compositional phases of the Allegretto, pizzicato.
The miracle narrative of the first oratorio by C. P. E. Bach – the escape of the people of Israel from the thirst death by Moses – comes from the Book of Exodus. In the course of the second part of the work, however, the figure of Moses is unexpectedly taken over by the Redeemer. The place turns out to be a paraphrase of Genesis 3:15. In the context of the German Enlightenment the biblical story can be interpreted as a reference to the assimilation process of the Jewish community. The composed libretto includes an interpolation, which speaks about the real advent of the Messiah, thus placing the work among the representatives of the messianic-cult of the Enlightenment. The interpolated text section focuses on the religion above religions as imagined by the latitudinarianism of the leading philosophers of the Enlightenment and testifies to the Masonic spirit in it. The text of the final chorus re-interprets the church dedication (the original function of Bach’s oratorio) as the dedication of the invisible Church: the soul.
In addition to folk music, Zoltán Kodály was interested in folk dance. This is evidenced not only by his writings dedicated to the subject – some relevant ideas are to be found in his publications mainly focused on other topics. In this article, the author collects both Kodály's writings explicitly related to folk dance as well as the “hidden” ideas, presented partly chronologically, partly in thematic groups. Topics include: Kodály's dance experiences, his practical dance knowledge, his work of exploring data of historical dance music, his role in the emergence of Hungarian ethnochoreology as a scholarly discipline, his critical views on the use of folk dance on stage, etc. In contrast to the earlier literature, this article no longer considers the Hungarian shepherds' horn signals as the inspirational sources for Bécsi harangjátek [Viennese Clock], a movement which imitates a musical clock in Kodály's Singspiel Háry János. The movement entitled Branle de village, part of seventeenth-century Austrian composer Johann Heinrich Schmelzer's Partita ex Vienna, contains some bars that bear a close resemblance to the repeated main motif of Kodály's Viennese Clock. It is safe to assume that Branle de village was Kodály's source of inspiration, given that there is evidence that he studied the DTÖ-collection of Schmelzer's works: he referred to this volume where he found a Styrian version of a Székely dance tune.
We look at the presuffixal vowels occurring after adjectival and nominal stems in Hungarian. We show that their “low” or “nonlow” status depends not only on the morphological category and arbitrary lexical properties of the stem, but also on its semantic properties and syntactic position, as well as the identity of the suffix and the typical environments in which the suffix occurs. Syntactic positions can be arranged in a scale ranging from more adjectival (less nominal) to less adjectival (more nominal). The same scale may be applied to suffixes typical of these syntactic positions. The lowness of the presuffixal vowels neatly follows these scales, with no variation at the two edges and a zone of variation in the middle of the scale.

The paper presents the interpretation and explanation of the findings of two pieces of experimental research within the framework of Varga's (2016) pitch-tier model of the Hungarian declarative sentence. One of the experiments was established to investigate the information-structural contribution of quantified expressions (such as mindhárom barátom ‘all three of my friends’ and Csaba is ‘Csaba also’). The other experiment explored the acoustic features of the spontaneous-speech specific discourse marker hát ‘well/so’. The two topics can be regarded as interconnected if Varga's model is interpreted in the strong sense that pitch – presumably in a more or less strong correlation with intensity – is responsible for indicating the topic–comment dichotomy and other factors of the discourse-embedding of sentences. Thus, the reconciliation of our data with Varga's model requires the consideration of the pitch-tier substructures in their complex dynamism. The experiments support the plausible hypothesis that the variants of the discourse marker hát as part of the preparatory contour primarily differ in duration, while is-quantifiers in different pitch-tier parts differ in terms of pitch values.
The Hungarian question tag mi? is subject to more special contextual restrictions compared to ugye?. An utterance that features mi? i) tentatively commits the addressee as a source for the anchor proposition of the tag question, and ii) it commits the speaker as a source for the addressee's being a source for p, which is a pragmatic presupposition. A speaker is a source for a proposition p if that speaker's commitment to p does not depend on any other discourse participant's commitment (Gunlogson 2008). The results of an online survey of a minimal set of pragmatically relevant contexts support claim i), and indirectly, claim ii). The effect of mi? on the immediate context of the discourse is modeled on a conversational scoreboard (Farkas & Bruce 2010; Malamud & Stephenson 2015).
This paper investigates hitherto unnoticed variation in the linguistic coding of spatial anaphora in locative PPs in Hungarian. While Hungarian primarily employs reflexives in these configurations, it is well-known that pronouns are the default strategy in English, and the reflexive anaphor is allowed in locative PPs only in the presence of certain licensing factors. One such factor is the availability of body-oriented readings (Rooryck & Vanden Wyngaerd 2007, 2011), and we argue here that this plays an important role in Hungarian, too. The paper reports the findings of a corpus study and an online questionnaire study and shows that pronouns are not only acceptable in Hungarian spatial anaphora, but either outperform or form a viable alternative to reflexives when the location denoted by the PP is not close to the referent of the antecedent. A secondary effect of structure building is also observable in two configurations of the extended PP. We argue that the employment of a possessive structure in certain PPs, and moving a P-element to a CPPP cap may also contribute to saving pronouns in contexts of spatial anaphora.
During the period of Ottoman rule in Hungary (1541‒1686), palisaded castles of differing sizes were typical elements in the border-castle networks on both sides of the battlefront: the Ottoman and the Christian. Archaeological remains (post-holes, beam structures, parts of palisades) complement the data in the written sources, making perceptible and measurable the great quantities of timber used in the building of castles. In the case of the Ottoman palisaded castle at Barcs and in that of the royal palisaded castle at Bajcsavár (southern Transdanubia), attempts were made ‒ on the basis of archaeological observations and reconstructions of ground plans ‒ to determine the number of palisade stakes used for the walls at the time of building, as well as to establish the number of trees felled in order to make them. By way of environmental history researches, an answer was sought to the question of how much the construction of these palisaded castles impacted on the forests in their respective districts. In the case of Barcs Castle, investigations were conducted into whether forest clearance in its vicinity can be reconstructed on the basis of pollen samples. Other issues examined are how far forest clearance extended from the two fortifications, its intensity, and the approximate quantities of timber yielded by it.

The present study outlines the most important results of the aerial archaeological prospection surveys conducted by Zsuzsa Miklós (1948–2014) in South Transdanubia, with special regard to the fortifications, settlements, and landscapes along the Drava photographed between 2008 and 2013. This is a completed and edited version of the paper left to us from 2014.
In his paper the author deals with the Acts of the Council of Chalcedon where a certain Valerian, the bishop of a settlement called Bassiana emerged several times. As he attended the synod of 448 at Constantinople as well, he lived in Constantinople most probably as refugee. Following E. Schwartz's correction, the author also comes to the conclusion that Valerian was mistakenly identified as the African bishop in the original Greek list and he was rather the bishop of the Pannonian Bassianae. He had to flee from his hometown to Constantinople because of the Hun occupation in 441 as his province already belonged to East Rome.
This study explores the life-mode of Hungarian migrants in their destination country, England, particularly London in the last decade, focusing on their housing conditions and working experiences. Relying on her participant observations and interviews, the author formulates a picture through the eyes of Hungarian migrant laborers regarding how both the real estate and labor market exploits them (micro level). She explains the motives of the main economic actors (entrepreneurs, real estate and employment agencies, employers) leading to exploitations (meso level) in addition to discussing how all of these fit into the wider socio-economic context (macro level).
The self-definitions of today's folk artists, as well as the concept(s) of folk art of official umbrella and quality assurance organizations, are rooted in complex, interrelated processes. In my study, I focus on the post-World War II concept of folk art, which is full of contradictions, but, despite all protests, has had an undeniable impact on the folk art of today. The system of applied folk arts paradoxically fostered the prominence of individual creators, in contrast to the communication of its novel cooperatives in the decades after World War II, which emphasized communal work. These creators – often possessing truly authentic folk art knowledge (some having gained their reputation before World War II) but no longer following the peasant way of life – were depicted by the media in rural or bucolic genre situations, thereby heavily aestheticizing the concepts of folk and folk art. At the same time, socialist cultural policy also emphasized their status as artists and creators, making them key figures in the cooperatives' work for decades as lead designers, prompting them to revitalize their local motif stock. At this point, another paradox of the Applied Folk Arts Council's perspective emerges, as the representation of the folk art of emblematic regions can increasingly be seen as the representation of the style of an individual (lead designer or charismatic artist). In my opinion, considering the 19th-century roots of the process, the definition of today's folk artists' products as unique works of art and the profound respect for design skills is rooted in this perspective that focuses on the work of iconic personalities, as I also point out in my case study analyzing Tiszafüred pottery through the work of several generations, a style that was adapted by Sándor Kántor and became known as Karcag pottery.
The present paper offers a critical reflection on folk inspirations in Polish design in the early 21st century. It discusses the question of folk as an artistic form, pointing to conceptualizations of folk style and its formal qualities within the field of modern artistic production to which design and craft practices belong. It also touches on the role of the rural actors involved in the processes of the construction of folklore and their attitude towards folk conceived as esthetics, artistic form, and style. For rural producers, folk style was a question of conscious choice, sometimes motivated by conformism and sometimes by a deliberate effort to contribute to local/class/national self-presentation, very often in contradiction to the individual's own taste and that of their peers. The paper then examines the involvement of Polish folk-inspired design (etnodizajn) in the early 21st century with national self-presentation, as well as the various folk (lore)-inspired design strategies followed by contemporary Polish designers. It concludes with the observation that 21st-century design practices drawing on folkloric inspiration are part of a long sequence of cultural appropriations, where appropriation can mean both the alienating inequality experienced by the rural manufacturers of folk, as well as a necessary condition for the understanding of alterity by both sides in the cultural exchange.
The legend of Ovid’s Hungarian tomb appeared in the historiography in the 16th century: besides the numerous Ovid-tombs that turned up all across Europe, Wolfgang Lazius was the first who mentioned in his work Commentarii Reipublicae Romanae that the grave of the poet destined to a tragic fate was discovered in Savaria-Szombathely. Then – at the end of the 16th century, probably through Polish influence – a four-line ‘epitaph’ expanded the narrative. In my paper I aim to enlighten how the legend of Ovid’s tomb appeared in the Hungarian historiography of the 16–18th century, how the authors tried to eliminate historical contradictions, and also, I intend to present the different concepts on the creation and the authenticity of the alleged epitaph today.
In the paper, I am revisiting the complicated and many-layered interpretation of Ven. Fort. Carm. 5. 6, letter and figure poem. I am adding another layer by including the role of St. Symphorian, who is implicitly present in the poem through the addressee Syagrius, the bishop of Autun, Symphorian’s hometown. The presence of the saint plays together with the story of father and son that is told in the letter; the parallelism of the story in the letter and the saint’s legend could have laid additional pressure on Bishop Syagrius to give into Fortunatus’s plea.
A Barlám és Jozafát regény 26-27. fejezetében Nákhór ál-tanúságtétele nem más, mint Aristeidés eltűntnek hitt Apológiájának átirata. A tanulmány az Apologia utóéletének áttekintése, és a „kölcsönzött szöveg" elbeszélésen belüli szerepének vizsgálatán túl, a védőbeszéd Iviron kódexben megőrzött - ez- idáig kiadatlan - görög és ófrancia nyelvű változatából is közöl részleteket.
The speech in the Barlaam andJosaphat novel, Nachor’s pseudo-testimony, is in fact a transcription of Aristides’ Apology, previously thought to be lost. Although it is mentioned by Eusebius and St. Jerome, the sermon was considered lost until 1878. In the 19th century, Armenian and Syriac translations came to light, as well as Greek papyrus fragments, also preserving excerpts from the original text of the sermon. In the light of the Greek fragments, it became clear that the romanced saint’s biography Barlaam and Josaphat also preserved a metaphrase of the sermon in Greek. Codex Iviron 463, which contains the Greek abridged version of the Barlaam novel, includes not only the Greek transcription of the Apology, but also its Old French translation. In addition to an overview of the afterlife of the Apology and an examination of the role of the “loaned text” within the narrative, this paper will also provide extracts from the heretofore unpublished Greek and Old French versions of the apology preserved in the Iviron codex.
Az észak-afrikai latin szerzők sajátos írásmódjára vonatkozó megjegyzéseket már késő ókori grammatikusoknál is olvashatunk, az afrikai latinság kérdése pedig hosszú múltra és változatos tudománytörténetre tekinthet vissza. Sokszor maguk a szerzők - így Apuleius, Szent Ágoston - térnek ki afrikai származásukra, többnyelvűségükre, sok esetben mentegetőzve az őket ért vádak miatt, melyek az általuk használt latin sajátosságaira vonatkoztak. Élt tehát egyfajta elképzelés a köztudatban az ókortól kezdve, miszerint az észak-afrikai területeken beszélt és használt latin nyelv bizonyos sajátosságokkal rendelkezik. Természetesen a kiejtés és a beszéd tekintetében nincsenek ellenőrző eszközeink, azonban ezek lenyomatain, az afrikai területekről származó szövegeken tetten érhetjük és vizsgálatuk révén közelebb kerülhetünk az afrikai latin nyelv esetleges jellegzetességeihez. A korai keresztény szövegek egyik legfontosabb emléke az úgynevezett Codex Bobbiensisben hagyományozódott, amely amellett, hogy a legrégebbi fennmaradt, a Kr. u. IV. századból származó latin evangéliumfordítás, a Vetus Latina szöveghagyomány afrikai (vetus Afra) tradíciójának fő képviselője is egyben. Jelen tanulmányban annak megállapítására teszek kísérletet, hogy a kódex szövegében esetleg kimutathatók-e olyan (nyelvi) jelenségek, amelyek az eddig - elsősorban az afrikai feliratos anyag elemzéséből - kirajzolódott nyelvi képünk, elképzelésünk alapján valóban afrikai sajátosságnak, africanismusnak tekinthetők.
Comments on the unique writing style of the North-African Latin writers can already be found in the ancient grammarians’ texts. The question of the African Latin language has been around for long and it also has a diverse scientific history. It was often the authors themselves - Apuleius or St. Augustine - who commented on their African ancestry, their multilingualism, and their own use of Latin. They often tried to excuse themselves for the accusations, which their (incorrect?) language use attracted. There was - already in Antiquity - a notion, that both the written and the spoken Latin of North Africa had some unique features, which set them apart from the language used in Rome. Obviously, we do not have any instruments to experience pronunciation and spoken language in antiquity, but through the study of texts written in the region, we can get a closer look on the specific features of Latin used in the region. One of the most important early Christian texts, which has been preserved in the so-called Codex Bob- biensis is a fourth century Latin translation of the gospel. This text is also the main representative of the african (vetus Afra) version of the Vetus Latina. In this article I am trying to investigate this text, to see if there are any linguistic features, which can be (based on the already existing notions we have of the language from studying the inscriptions of the region) called specifically african features („africanismus”).
A tanulmány Venantius Fortunatus Galsuinthának, egy meroving családba házasodott vizigót hercegnőnek a halálára írt consolatióját vizsgálja. Galsuinthát Tours-i Gergely beszámolója szerint férje ölte meg, az incidens pedig újra testvérháborúhoz vezetett a meroving királyok között. A feszült politikai helyzetben Fortunatus hallgat az erőszakos részletekről. Ezt a magatartást korábban az aulikus költő óvatosságával magyarázták, a vers Vergiliusra és Claudianus DeraptuProserpinae-jére történő utalásainak elemzése viszont ennél bonyolultabb olvasatot tesz lehetővé.
In this paper Venantius Fortunatus’ consolation for the death of Galswinth, a Visigoth princess married into the Merovingian family, is analysed. According to Gregory of Tours, Galswinth was killed at the behest of her husband, and this incident led to another civil war among the Merovingian rulers. Fortunatus does not mention any of the violent details, which had been interpreted as the sign of the caution of the aulic poet. However, the references to Vergil and Claudian’s DeraptuProserpinae lead to a different interpretation.
A Codex Monacensis Graecus 307a Laonikos Chalkokondylés történeti munkája mellett számos lapszéli bejegyzést is tartalmaz. Az egyik ilyen jegyzetet Nikolaos Malaxos írta. Ebben ismerteti, hogy Theodóros, Mistra despotája hogyan adott el bizonyos városokat a velenceieknek és a rhodosi szerzeteseknek. Ugyanez a bejegyzés szóról szóra megtalálható a Chalkokondylés-hagyomány egy másik kéziratában, az Escorialensis Graecus 243 (Y-I-4) jelzetűben. Jelen írás célja, hogy megvizsgáljuk a szóban forgó Chalkokondylés-részletet, Malaxos széljegyzetének szövegét, valamint kisebb javaslatot tegyünk Chalkokondylés kézirati hagyományával kapcsolatban.
Codex Monacensis Graecus 307a contains several marginal notes in addition to Laonikos Chalkokon- dyles’ historical work. One of these notes was written by Nikolaos Malaxos. In this he describes how Theodoros, the despot of Mistra sold certain cities to the Venetians and to the monks from Rhodes. The same note made by the same hand can be found word for word in another manuscript of Chalkokon- dyles’ tradition marked Escorialensis Graecus 243 (Y-I-4) . The aim of the present paper is to examine Chalkokondyles’ passage in question and the text of Malaxos’ marginal note, and to propose a minor suggestion regarding the manuscript tradition of Chalkokondyles.
A középkori vágánsköltészet legkiemelkedőbb alkotásainak egyike a manapság Phyllis és Flora néven ismertté vált költemény, amely számos, különböző terjedelmű részeit megőrző kéziratban maradt ránk. Ezek között megtalálható egy meglehetősen különös szövegváltozat, amely mind tartalmában, mind terjedelmében jelentős eltéréseket mutat a többi kézirat szövegéhez képest: ez a költemény kezdeti nyolc strófája után mindössze hét hozzáköltött versszakkal le is zárul. Felfedezését követően a kutatás ugyan látóterében tartotta a kéziratot, ám pusztán az első nyolc strófa egy meglehetősen romlott szövegtanújaként tekintett rá. Szerencsés módon azonban nemrég előkerült az említett kézirat egy másik, megközelítőleg azonos időben keletkezett példánya is, amely alapvetően megváltoztatja az említett kézirathoz fűződő viszonyulásunkat: ezzel ugyanis nyilvánvalóvá lett, hogy nem csupán egyszeri, lejegyzője fejéből kipattant alkotásról beszélhetünk, hanem az említett vágánsköltemény egy kései változatáról, amely minden bizonnyal szélesebb körben is ismeretes lehetett, és amely keletkezési ideje okán a formain kívül gyökeres tartalmi, felfogásbeli, sőt műfaji eltéréseket mutat az eredeti költeményhez képest.
Without doubt, one of the most outstanding piece of the goliard poetry is the anonymous poem which nowadays become known as Phyllis et Flora (Altercatio Phyllidis et Florae). It was preserved to us in many manuscripts, whose each one contains parts of diff erent length of this poem. One of these copies especially diff ers from any of others: it preserves a complete poem that begins with the eight initial stanzas of the original poem, and continues with seven new-composed stanzas until its end. After the discovery of this manuscript, it become part of the tradition of the poem although it was considered just as a very corrupt witness of the poem’s fi rst eight stanzas. However, in the recent past, thanks to a lucky occasion, it was discovered a second copy of this variant poem, transcribed at the same period as the already known one. Th e new discovery fundamentally changes our relation to the variant: the new copy has made it obvious, that this is not a peculiar composition of the fantasy of its scribe, but a self-suffi cient late variant of the original poem, which had been supposedly more widespread, than its traces testify. Not only the radical alteration of its length, but – due to its late construction – that of its content and thought is also remarkable.
A tanulmány Hypereidés Démosthenés ellen című beszédének szöveghagyományát tekinti át a Har- ris-Arden papirusztekercs töredékcsoportjainak bemutatásával. Gianfranco Bartolini fél évszázaddal korábban publikált átfogó elemzését egészíti ki az 1972 óta megismert adatokkal. Az előkészületben lévő Hypereidés-szövegkiadás (Bibliotheca Teubneriana) előszavának egyik, bővített fejezetét jelenti.
This paper reviews the textual tradition of Hyperides’ speech Against Demosthenes by presenting fragment groups of the Harris-Arden papyrus scroll. It complements Gianfranco Bartolini’s comprehensive analysis published half a century ago with data acquired since 1972. It constitutes an extended chapter of the preface to the forthcoming Hyperides edition (Bibliotheca Teubneriana).
E tanulmány Kallimachos az elhunyt II. Arsinoé előtt tisztelgő költeményét elemzi. Először az Ektheósis Arsinoés a költői életműben elfoglalt helyét, a műfaj kérdéseit és a mű szerkezetét vizsgáljuk. Ez vezet át a versben fellelhető irodalmi allúziók értelmezéséhez (főként Hésiodos, Ibykos, Simónidés, Pindaros). Ezenfelül részletesen tárgyaljuk a történelmi hátteret és a töredékes hagyományból származó filológiai nehézségeket. A befejező rész a kallimachosi költemény utóéletét térképezi fel a görög és latin irodalomban.
This article aims to present an overall interpretation of a poem by Callimachus on the dead Ptolemaic queen Arsinoe II. Firstly the position of the Ectheosis Arsinoes in Callimachus’ rnuvre, the genre to which it belongs and its structure will be investigated. This leads to the analysis of the highly allusive character of the work (above all to Hesiod, Ibycus, Simonides and Pindar as well as to hymnic poetry). In addition, realia (the historical background) and textual difficulties arising from the fragmentary transmission will also be treated. The conclusive part looks at the reception of Callimachus’ poem in later Greek and Latin poetry.
A tanulmány a Moreai Krónikában (Τό Χρονικόν του Μορέως) megjelenő magyarok szerepét és megítélését vizsgálja. Bemutatja azokat a szöveghelyeket, amelyekben a Krónika megemlíti a magyar népet vagy a Magyar Királyságot, majd összehasonlítja ezeket más ófrancia és bizánci görög nyelvű, kortárs irodalmi és történeti művek olyan részleteivel, amelyekben szintén említésre kerülnek a magyarok. Megoldási javaslatot tesz arra a kérdésre, hogy miért beszél az általában Bizánc-közeli, illetve a Bizánci Birodalom utódállamait segítő magyarokról az ellenséges keresztes államok történetét megörökítő Krónika a többi korabeli - magyarokhoz közelebb álló - forráshoz képest elismerőbb hangon, dicsérőbb kifejezésekkel: ennek oka elsősorban III. Béla lánya, Margit és dédunokái, a Saint-Omer fivérek hírnevében keresendő. A tanulmány vizsgálja továbbá a Saint-Omer fivérek irodalmi és történeti szerepét, illetve bemutatja a Krónika azon részletének részletes filológiai elemzését, amelyben a szerző Akova báróságának örökösödési tárgyalását részletezi.
The study examines the role and perception of Hungarians in the Chronicle of Morea (Τό Χρονικόν του Μορέως). It presents the passages in which the Chronicle mentions the Hungarian people or the Kingdom of Hungary, and compares them with passages in other contemporary literary and historical works in Old French and Byzantine Greek that also mention Hungarians. It proposes a solution to the question of why the Chronicle - which records the history of the hostile Crusader states - speaks of the Hungarians - who were generally close to Byzantium and helped the successor states of the Byzantine Empire - in a more laudatory tone and in more praiseworthy terms than other contemporary sources closer to the Hungarians: the reason for this is to be found primarily in the reputation of Béla Ill’s daughter Margaret and her grandchildren, the Saint-Omer brothers. The study also examines the literary and historical role of the Saint-Omer brothers and presents a detailed philological analysis of the excerpt from the Chronicle in which the author discusses the succession of the Barony of Akova.
This paper draws attention to a robust grammatical change trajectory, here dubbed the copula-to-cleft pathway. We show that the emergence of the copular clause construction tends to lead to the emergence of the cleft construction, and the decline of one tends to be in tandem with the other. We further propose that the above pattern follows from a syntactic treatment that derives the cleft structure from a copular clause. Such copular syntax can be further combined with a semantic analysis where the focus interpretation of clefts is computed based on a copular structure.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies have impacted on the language mediation market with the spread of machine translation (MT) and the creation of sub-tasks such as text preparation for translation and post-editing. Up until this time, the impact of machine interpretation on the interpretation profession cannot be felt to the same extent as that of MT on the translation profession. Technological advances, however, have not come to an end and nowadays fully-automated machine interpretation and AI-based computer assisted interpreting (CAI) tools are increasingly common in the interpreting profession. However, the use of AI and big data in interpreting raises several ethical questions in terms of data protection and confidentiality. The earliest references to MT date back to the 1930s. Despite this long history ethical considerations in MT have rarely been discussed in Translation Studies, and to our knowledge, they have not been discussed at all in Interpreting Studies. This article first examines how AI can be used in interpreting as well as the various tools already available, then discusses the ethical considerations raised by the use of AI in general and in interpreting in particular.
U radu se daju temeljni podatci o kajkavskom leksiku, njegovu podrijetlu, kontaktu s mađarskim i njemačkim jezikom te suvremenim pojavama u interferenciji s hrvatskim standardnim jezikom (pseudoanalogonimija, najnovije semantičke adaptacije). Kako je leksik hrvatskih kajkavskih govora rubno zastupljen u postojećim etimološkim rječnicima hrvatskoga jezika, u radu se ističe da je teško napraviti klasifikaciju velikog broja leksema koji se ne nalaze ni u kojem od slavenskih jezika.
Kod leksičkog posuđivanja hungarizama vrlo je rijetko riječ o popunjavanju leksičkih praznina, a mnogo češće o posuđivanju zbog izvanjezičnih razloga (zemljopisnih i političkih) jer ih je velika većina u trenutku primarne adaptacije imala ekvivalente u govorima primaocima. Od semantičkih polja koje pokrivaju hungarizmi najbrojnije je ono koje se odnosi na pejorativna značenja u kontekstu osobina, izgleda i ponašanja ljudi, a od onih koje pokrivaju germanizmi je ono koje se odnosi na tehničke izraze iz najrazličitijih obrta.
Arhaičan kajkavski leksik ili nestaje ili suvremenim semantičkim adaptacijama pronalazi novo mjesto u vokabularu suvremenih govornika kajkavskog narječja. Apostrofira se velika učestalost deminutiva / hipokoristika, i to ne samo kao tvorbena mogućnost ili rubni sloj leksika, već kao izuzetno često korišteni leksik u svakodnevnoj komunikaciji. Opisuju se istraživanja pseudoanalogonimije koja su osim za lingvističke spoznaje važna i za metodiku nastave hrvatskog jezika, što bi mogla biti stožerna točka oko koje bi i kajkavsko narječje dobilo bolji položaj u školama.
Na kraju se govori o najnovijim trendovima u istraživanju kajkavskog leksika i solidnom razvoju kajkavske dijalektne leksikologije zbog pojave velikog broja amatera koji cijeli život skupljaju leksik i prepuštaju njegovu obradu jezikoslovcima pa djelo objave kao zajednički rad. Na kraju se predlaže metodologija istraživanja razlikovnosti leksika između pojedinih mjesnih govora kad za neki mjesni govor već postoji objavljeni opsežni znanstveni rječnik. Na taj bi se način lakše pratili procesi širenja i rasprostranjenosti najrazličitijih jezičnih pojava iz područja semantike i tvorbe riječi, a ne samo općepoznatih jezičnih izoglosa koje se tiču uglavnom fonologije.
U zaključku se ističe da je posljednji trenutak da se leksička istraživanja kajkavskog narječja intenziviraju jer za razliku od fonologije i morfologije, semantika je puno brže podložnija promjenama s obzirom na to da nove realije doslovce svakodnevno prodiru u suvremeni život, a to se manifestira na i na standardni jezik i na interdijalekt i na mjesne govore.
The paper provides basic information about the Kajkavian lexicon, its origin, its contact with the Hungarian and German languages and about contemporary phenomena in its interference with the Croatian standard language (pseudo-analogonymy and the latest semantic adaptations). As the lexicon of Croatian Kajkavian dialects is marginally represented in the existing etymological dictionaries of the Croatian language, the paper points out that it is difficult to classify a large number of lexemes that are not found in any of the Slavic languages.
Lexical borrowing of Hungarianisms occurs very rarely to fill in lexical gaps and is much more common for non-linguistic reasons (geographical and political) because the vast majority of them had equivalents in the recipients’ vernaculars at the time of primary adaptation. Of the semantic fields covered by Hungarianisms, the most numerous is the one that refers to pejorative meanings in the context of human characteristics, appearance and behaviour, whereas those covered by Germanisms refer to technical expressions from various trades.
The archaic Kajkavian lexicon either disappears or finds a new place in the vocabulary of modern speakers of the Kajkavian dialect with modern semantic adaptations. A high frequency of diminutives / hypocorisms is emphasized, not only as a creative possibility or a marginal layer of vocabulary but also as an extremely frequently used vocabulary in everyday communication. Research activities of pseudo-analogonymy are described. They are important not only for linguistic knowledge but also for the methodology of teaching the Croatian language, which could be a pivotal point around which the Kajkavian dialect could get a better position in schools.
The paper continues to talk about the latest trends in the research of Kajkavian lexicon and the solid development of Kajkavian dialect lexicology due to the emergence of a large number of amateurs who collect lexicon all their lives and leave it to linguists and publish the work as a joint work. Finally, a methodology for researching the distinctiveness of lexicons between individual local dialects is proposed, when an extensive scientific dictionary already exists for a local dialect. In this way, it would be easier to follow the processes of spreading and prevalence of various linguistic phenomena in the field of semantics and word formation, and not only the well-known linguistic isoglosses that concern mainly phonology.
In conclusion, it is pointed out that it is the last moment to intensify the lexical research studies of the Kajkavian dialect because, unlike phonology and morphology, semantics is much more susceptible to change, given that new real objects literally penetrate modern life on a daily basis and this is manifested in both the standard language and in the interdialect and the local vernaculars.
В течение многих столетий паремии (пословицы и поговорки) служили великолепной почвой для бесконечной трансформации. В последние же десятилетия паремиологическая трансформация приняла такие масштабы, что порой можно чаще встретить трансформы, чем традиционные паре-мии. Вольфганг Мидер назвал такого рода паремии антипословицами (нем. Antisprichwörter, англ. anti-proverbs). Этот термин был широко принят паремиологами всего мира.
Данная статья посвящена анализу русских пословиц и антипословиц о деньгах. В первой части работы были рассмотрены способы трансформации традиционных русских по-словиц: замена одного или двух слов; замена второй или первой части пословицы; добавление новых слов или, наоборот, выпадение слов; использование буквального значения вместо метафоричного; смешение нескольких пословиц. Многие антипословицы одновременно включают в себя несколько способов трансформации.
Во второй части статьи мы кратко осветили такие понятия как семантическое поле и гиперсема в контексте денег (к которой относятся помимо лексемы деньги также и такие слова как рубль, ко- пейка, платить, богатый, бедный, золото, долг, платеж и др.), а также мы привели примеры по-словиц о деньгах из различных языков мира (например, из английского, немецкого, французского, испанского, итальянского).
Третья часть статьи была посвящена анализу русских пословиц и антипословиц о деньгах. Сна-чала нами были рассмотрены примеры трансформации пословиц, в текстах которых есть слова, относящиеся к гиперсеме «деньги» (19 примеров). Потом мы направили фокус нашего внимания на антипословицы, в текстах которых присутствовала гиперсема «деньги», но в самих пословицах ее не было (14 примеров). Всего в этих двух разделах нами было проанализировано 33 русские пословицы и 88 антипословиц о деньгах. Фокус нашего внимания был прежде всего на том, что происходит в ходе трансформации с пословицами, какие виды трансформации являются наиболее популярны-ми в нашем корпусе, а также мы рассмотрели, какие смысловые изменения происходят с послови-цами во время их модификации. Эту часть статьи мы завершили анализом трех самых популярных в нашем корпусе пословиц о деньгах: Не в деньгах счастье; Не имей сто рублей, а имей сто друзей; Долг платежом красен и их многочисленных переделок.
Большая часть антипословиц о деньгах отражают актуальные реалии для носителей русского языка, в которых добавлены темы секса, коррупции, преступного мира, работы, кредитов, здоровья, ежедневных будней и праздников, качеств характера и др. По мнению В. Мидера, антипословицы нередко становятся моралистичными или даже дидактичными высказываниями, и мы это наглядно увидели на примере многочисленных антипословиц о деньгах.
For centuries, proverbs have provided a framework for endless transformation. In recent decades, the modification of proverbs has taken such proportions that sometimes we can even meet more proverb transformations than traditional proverbs. Wolfgang Mieder has coined the term anti-proverb (or in German, Anti- sprichwort) for such deliberate proverb innovations. This term has been widely accepted by paremiologists all over the world as a general label for such innovative alterations and reactions to traditional proverbs.
This paper is devoted to the analysis of Russian proverbs and anti-proverbs about money.
In the first part of the work, we have demonstrated various mechanisms of proverb variation, e.g. replacing a single word; substituting two or more words; changing the second part of the proverb; adding new words; omitting words; adding literal interpretations; melding two proverbs. Many anti-proverbs include several ways of transformation.
In the second part of the paper, at first, we have briefly covered such notions as the semantic field of the word money (which includes, in addition to the lexeme money, such words as ruble, kopeyka, pay, rich, poor, gold, debt, payment, etc.). Moreover, we have also introduced examples of proverbs about money from various languages of the world (for example, English, German, French, Spanish, and Italian).
The third part of the paper has been devoted to the analysis of Russian proverbs and anti-proverbs about money. In the first section, we have considered examples of transformations of proverbs with words related to the semantic field of the word money (19 proverbs). In the second section, we have focused on anti-proverbs in which the words belonging to this semantic field are present but in the original proverbs are absent (14 proverbs). In a nutshell, in these two sections, we have analyzed 33 Russian proverbs and 88 anti-proverbs about money. Mainly, we have focused on what happens during proverb transformation as well as on what types of transformation are the most common in our corpus. In addition, we have also examined various types of semantic change occurring to proverbs during their modification. We have finished the third part of the paper with an analysis of three most common proverbs about money in our corpus: Не в деньгах счастье [Money does not bring happiness]; Не имей сто рублей, а имей сто друзей [Do not have a hundred roubles but have a hundred friends]; Долг платежом красен [Debt should be returned by paying back].
The vast majority of the anti-proverbs about money portray real situations for native speakers of Russian. Among the themes treated in our proverb alterations are sexuality, corruption, criminal world, work, credits, health, weekdays and holidays, character traits, etc. According to Mieder, anti-proverbs often become moralistic or even didactic statements, and we have observed it in the numerous anti-proverbs about money treated in our study.
В статье проводится анализ концовки двух романов двух авторов, «Серебряного голубя» А. Белого (1909) и «Отчаяния» В. Набокова (1934) с целью раскрыть, каким образом последний отвечает на традицию символизма и на его эмблематического автора-теоретика.
Влияние А. Белого на В. Набокова рассмотрено в статье как многоплановое явление, не только как следование по стопам принятого наследия или его отрицание. Это скорее внимание ученика к мастеру поэтической формы, рождающее стилистические параллели, с одной стороны, а с дру-гой стороны – это отношение к преодолеваемому литературному предшественнику, выражающееся в сложных трансформациях. Тончайшим жанром второго типа отношения является амбивалентная по натуре пародия, касающаяся и критики идейного и мировоззренческого плана.
Исходя из этих тезисов, статья, впервые в набоковедении, предлагает определить «Отчаяние» В. Набокова по жанру как роман философский.
Роман опровергает прежде всего символистскую теорию жизнетворчества, отвечая не только А. Белому, но, в более широком плане, и идейной и поэтической традиции Серебряного века.
Сравнение Дарьяльского с Германом, включением фигуры Раскольникова поставлено в статье в расширенный контекст «идейных убийств», касающихся вопроса свободы воли человеческой управлять своей судьбой, строить ее по планам. Особенно наглядно это в тройном сопоставлении, указывающем такое же амбивалентное отношение Набокова к наследию Достоевского, на которо-го явно опирается сюжет романа Набокова. Он становится объектом прямой пародии Набокова, открыто опровергающего и высмеивающего Достоевского, но тем самым (невольно) и ставит его в роль центральной фигуры внимания. Тройное сравнение раскрывает и то, что наследие Достоев-ского воспринято и интерпретировано Набоковым через наследие символизма. Это наследие, хоть и через кривые отражения, все же и именно тем самым и увеличено, ибо воспроизведение непосред-ственными предшественниками придает ему дополнительную глубину косвенной интерпретации.
Статья затрагивает своеобразие приема двойников у В. Набокова, который отрицал и высмеивал прием «Doppelgänger», и предлагается термин «псевдодвойники».
Приведенные тезисы основаны на тщательном анализе полигенетических коннотаций палки, ох-ватывающих культурные коды мифических аллюзий, античной и сакрально-библейской традиции, и косвенных, интертекстуальных литературных перекличек. В рассмотрении образа палки просле-живается сравнительная статистика синонимов в двух романах, и даже их языково-графические свойства; образы, построенные на форме букв ассоциациями автора-синестета.
The paper focuses on the endings of two novels by two authors, The Silver Dove by A. Bely (1909) and Despair by V. Nabokov (1934) to reveal how the latter responds to the tradition of Symbolism and its emblematic author-theorist.
The influence of A. Bely on V. Nabokov is considered in the paper as a multidimensional phenomenon, not only as following in the footsteps of the accepted heritage or its denial. Rather, it is the student’s attention to the master of the poetic form, giving rise to stylistic parallels, on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is the attitude to the literary predecessor being overcome, expressed in complex transformations. The finest genre of the second type of attitude is parody (ambivalent in its nature), parody, concerning here both ideological and philosophical criticism.
Based on these theses, the paper, for the first time in Nabokov studies, proposes to define Nabokov’s Despair as a philosophical novel by genre. The novel disproves, above all, the Symbolist theory of “zhiznetvorchestvo” (‘the creation of life’), responding not only to A. Bely but also to the ideological and poetic tradition of the Silver Age.
The comparison of Daryalsky to Herman, by also involving the figure of Raskolnikov, is placed in the paper in the extended context of “ideological murders” concerning the question of the freedom of the human will to control his fate, to build it according to human plans. This is particularly evident in the triple juxtaposition, which indicates the same ambivalent attitude of Nabokov toward the legacy of Dostoevsky, on which the plot of Nabokov’s novel is clearly based. He becomes the object of Nabokov’s direct parody, openly refuting and ridiculing Dostoevsky, but in doing so, (unwittingly) also places him as the central figure of attention. The triple comparison also reveals that Dostoevsky’s legacy is perceived and interpreted by Nabokov through the legacy of Symbolism. This legacy, even if through a distorted reflection, is nevertheless and precisely thereby magnified, for the reproduction by his immediate predecessors gives it an additional depth of indirect interpretation.
The paper touches upon the peculiarity of the reception of doubles in V. Nabokov and proposes the term pseudo-doubles (as the author denied and mocked the technique of Doppelgänger).
The thesis is based on a thorough analysis of polygenetic connotations of the stick, covering cultural codes of mythical allusions, ancient and sacral-biblical tradition, and indirect, intertextual literary interferences. In examining the image of the stick, the comparative statistics of synonyms of the word in the two novels are traced as well as their linguistic and graphic properties, images built on the form of letters by the synaesthete author’s associations.
В статье предлагается несколько стихотворений русских поэтов на тему моря. Описательный аспект в них пропитан эмоциональными переживаниями авторов. При этом меняющийся вид моря, его богатство световыми и звучными оттенками и переливами нарисованы c высоким поэтическим мастерством, позволяющим ощущать определенный параллелизм между динамикой моря и изме-нениями в душевной жизни человека. Эти романтические стихотворения содержат явные элементы реалистического подхода к действительности, а вместе с тем и некоторые черты, свидетельствую-щие о склонности авторов к трансцендентальности.
Элегия Жуковского «Море» (1822) – прекрасный пример олицетворения: море рассматривается как мистическое существо, которое живет, дышит и исполнено тревожной мыслью. Реалистичное изображение моря содержит скрытую аллюзию на переменчивые настроения человеческой души.
В стихотворении Пушкина «Погасло дневное светило…» (1820) поэт вспоминает о своей поте-рянной бурной молодости. В его же стихах «К морю» (1824) море как символ абсолютной свободы напоминает судьбы двух великих мужей века: Наполеона и Байрона.
В стихотворении «Море и утес» (1848) Тютчев выражает свою веру в миссию России как защит-ника христианства. Помимо аллегорического смысла, мастерство изображения яростных бурь волн против «спокойного и уверенного в себе утеса» предлагает прекрасную параллель с известными морскими картинами Айвазовского. В его стихотворении «Как хорошо ты, о море ночное» (1865) непрерывное движение моря намекает на трансцендентальное. Последние строки этого стихотво-рения говорят о неутолимой скорби поэта, вызванной недавней смертью его возлюбленной. Его же стихи «Волна и дума» (1851) представляют эмблематический символ взгляда поэта на аналогию природы и человеческого духа: наши мысли – это то же непрерывное, тщетное и обманчивое явле-ние как бушующие и отступающие волны моря.
Бунин посвятил два стихотворения морю. В одном из них (1895) вид спокойного ночного моря вызывает у наблюдателя восхищенное предчувствие вечной красоты и неземной истины. В другом стихотворении (1897) описание бурного Северного моря напоминает унылое настроение поэта. Па-раллель между этим зрелищем и подавленным состоянием души поэта проявляется в уничижитель-ных семантических тонах эпитетов и предикатов.
В стихах Бальмонта «У моря ночью» (1903) вид ночного моря возбуждает у поэта отчаянное ви-дение нависающей смерти.
В своем коротком стихотворении (1884) Надсон сравнивает море с мощным органом в величе-ственном соборе, но вместе с тем оно приводит видение кого-то «безумно смеющегося и грозящего».
При этом цитированные романтические стихотворения содержат явные элементы реалистиче-ского подхода к действительности, хотя в то же время некоторые их черты свидетельствуют о склон-ности авторов к трансцендентальности.
The paper presents a selection of poems about the sea, written by Russian lyric poets in the 19th century. The descriptive aspect in the poems is imbued by the emotional experience and actual mood of the authors. At the same time, the changing sight of the sea, the abundance of its luminous tints and sounding modulations are shown with high poetic mastery suggesting a certain parallel between the dynamism of the sea and the alternating states of the human mind. Parts of the texts indicate the authors’ disposition to transcendence.
Zhukovsky’s elegy Море [The Sea] (1822) is a fine example of personification: the poet addresses the sea regarded as a mystical being that lives and breathes, filled with anxious thought. The realistic portrayal of the sea contains a hidden allusion to the changing moods of the human soul.
Pushkin’s poem Погасло дневное светило… [The Day Star is Gone] (1820) recalls reminiscences of his lost turbulent youth. In the poem К морю [To the Sea] (1824), the sea as the symbol of absolute freedom reminds of the fates of the two outstanding men of the century, Napoleon and Byron.
Tyutchev’s poem Море и утес [The Sea and the Cliff] (1848) pertains to the Western European revolutionary events of 1848. In the form of an allegory, the poet expresses his belief in the mission of Russia as the defender and stronghold of genuine Christianity. Apart from its allegorical sense, the mastery of depicting the furious storms of waves against the “calm and self-confident Cliff ” offers a fine parallel to the well-known maritime paintings of Ayvazovsky. The poem Как хорошо ты, о море ночное [How Fine is You, the Sea at Night] (1865) includes a hint at transcendence in the description of the continually moving sea. The last lines of this poem allude to the unappeasable grief of the poet caused by the recent death of his beloved. The poem Волна и дума [The Wave and the Thought] (1851) is an emblematic symbol of Tyutchev’s view on the parallelism of nature and the human mind: our thoughts are regarded as just the same incessant, idle, and deceptive phenomena as the storming and receding waves of the sea.
Bunin devoted two poems to the sea. One of them (1895) presents the sight of the tranquil nocturnal sea, arousing a delighted state of the observer, his presentiment of everlasting beauty and “unearthly truth”. The other poem (1897) describes the stormy Northern Sea with its piercing wind and heavy waves. The parallel between this sight and the depressed state of mind of the poet appears in the pejorative semantic tones of the epithets and predicates.
In Balmont’s poem У моря ночью [At the Sea by night] (1903), the sight of the sea by night stirs up in the poet a desperate vision of imminent death.
In his short poem (1884), Nadson compares the sea with a powerful organ in a majestic cathedral but at the same time a vision appears to him of “somebody insanely laughing and threatening”.
In the cited poems, the romantic (i.e. individual and emotional) attitude to the sea is integrated with superior skill in describing elements of reality, and reveals a certain inclination of the poets to transcendental experience.
In Hungary, the academic study of folklore started at the turn of the 20th century. In the period between 1889 and 1920, institutions for the study of folklore and ethnography were established. The author points out that ethnographic collections in this era were motivated by concern about the loss of folk culture phenomena owing to changes brought by modernisation. Major arguments for the establishment of the Hungarian Ethnographic Society as well as the Museum of Ethnography referred to the need to salvage endangered items of folk culture from vanishing. Folklore collections were interpreted as rescue missions aiming to save material in the penultimate moment. The author of this paper investigates the way in which an outstanding folklorist of the period, Lajos Katona (1862–1910), professor of comparative literary studies, defined the essence, purpose, and method of ethnographic/folklore collections. Katona urged on several occasions that collectors of folklore be equipped with professional guidebooks and other auxiliary materials. He played a role in the popularisation of the activities of the Folklore Fellows, furthering the establishment of a network of voluntary collectors. Empirical data collection in the field is a central notion of folklore studies, one of the most important methodological and epistemological categories of the discipline, which functions as a distinctive feature differentiating it from other fields of study. Therefore, it is of central importance to shed light upon how and why the principles of the collection and recording of folklore phenomena in oral culture have changed.
The village today is only partially what we used to know of in the past, our previous image rooted in a sinking world, nothing but memories. In the 21st century, even in rural communities, the daily routine, practices and strategies of economic life are determined by the processes of modernization and globalization, in conjunction with information and communication technologies along with the wide-ranging proliferation of digital devices. It can be said that life in the 21st century village also shows a simultaneous constraint of modernization (the constraint of evolution and change) and the presence of masses incapable of changing (even if their number is continuously decreasing). The coexistence and confrontation of these opposing forces and ideologies characterizes the Hungarian/Transylvanian rural space in Romania during the 21st century. All these have led to the degradation of previous community patterns, resulting in the faltering position of tradition as well as a major change in the role it plays in the life of said communities.
As a result of globalization processes, the lives of average people are nowadays filled with uniform products. In Ukraine, contemporary clothing featuring national markers stands out from among the wide range of cultural and artistic trends. Ukrainian academics are currently studying the specific features of the diffusion of traditional clothing into everyday urban life. A knowledge of the historical path of the penetration, adaptation, and development of traditional Ukrainian clothing within the urban cultural system is necessary for an understanding of its modern transformation processes. An examination of the theoretical model of the diffusion and development of nationally marked clothing from 1861 to 2020 reveals that, in the context of urbanized culture, the spread of Ukrainian clothing is subject to five factors: social and economic, religious and ritual, identification (patriotic), cultural and artistic, and design and production. Within each subperiod, namely 1861–1920, 1921–1990, and 1991–2020, these factors have influenced clothing culture to varying extents, and their content is transformed in accordance with the historical circumstances. In addition to the publication of the above developments in scientific journals, considerable efforts to popularize them are also being made. Several thematic lectures have been given on the influence of the above-mentioned driving forces at different historical stages, accompanied by the multimedia presentation of prominent members of the Ukrainian intelligentsia posing in Ukrainian attire. The ZETA Atelier clothing manufacturing team produces collars embroidered with Ukrainian folk motifs, which became fashionable among Ukrainian intellectuals in the early 20th century. Collaboration based on the educational platform of the clothing brand Zerno has given rise to the idea of producing a line of stockinette T-shirts with prints of historical photographs of the Ukrainian cultural figures previously featured during lectures and presentations. The aim is to shape a contemporary urban culture of nationally marked clothing via the introduction of national images into consumer practices.
The present study introduces the role played by the Hungarian Heritage House in applied ethnography and the folk art revival. It is the first such study to review their antecedents over the past 70 years, the evolution of the institutional background, and activities of varying emphasis (research, teaching, certification) in the fields of folk dance, folk music, and folk handicrafts. The second part of the study evaluates professional tasks in the context of the organizational framework of the Hungarian Heritage House, which was founded in 2001, highlighting the internal relationships among activities embedded within the historically developed structure. The study then goes on to describe the intermediary role of the institution in relation to the practical use/usefulness of basic ethnographic research in terms of: (a) knowledge transfer — the utilization of basic ethnographic research in trainings and courses; and (b) digitization — ensuring wide access to ethnographically authentic archive folk music and dance recordings as the socialization of basic ethnographic research; and (c) research activities within the scope of applied ethnography and existing and potential cooperation with the academic sector. By way of conclusion, the study outlines pressing tasks in the field of applied ethnographical research that are crucial to the everyday, practical work of folklorism. These tasks include delineating the image (i.e., concept) of folk art and folk tradition in the Hungarian Heritage House; clarifying the terminological issues that affect the profession as a whole; creating a professional historical archive of folklorism; organizing a regular forum for critical discussion; and rethinking the cultural context and function of the folklore revival in light of the present-day challenges.
The UNESCO World Heritage Convention (1972) was originally focused on nature conservation and built heritage. The immaterial aspect of the worldwide heritage discourse arrived at a turning point in 2003, when the Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage was adopted. The definition of the intangible cultural heritage provides essential frames for a wide range of interpretations. The UNESCO concept focuses on inclusive, representative and community-based traditions which are contemporary and living at the same time. In this sense, the intangible cultural heritage conception is based on the fundamental dichotomy of tradition and modernity. For the communities concerned, a new perspective for living traditions is the process from tradition to heritage. There are four essential features of this process: participation, consciousness, organization and valorization. They can make a difference between tradition and heritage. The Hungarian model for the implementation of the UNESCO Convention is based on a bottom-up system, where the heritage bearers themselves initiate the nomination process for the National Inventory. It is based on their strong commitment to their heritage and it relies on their involvement and participation. In this paper, three case studies from North-East Hungary (Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County) represent different ways of “creating a heritage.” The various patterns are closely related to the ideas of identity, community cohesion, tourism, local economy and the preservation of living traditions.
The texts of Zsuzsa Bánk (being born in Germany to Hungarian parents, so growing up bilingually, writing in German and having at least one character with a Hungarian background performing in each of her works) explore affiliations. This is perhaps best seen in the volume of stories The Hottest Summer. With the present contribution, it was my aim to examine spatial concepts in this volume as concepts of belonging.
Kālidāsa’s nāṭakas, namely the
Abhijñānaśākuntala and the Vikramorvaśīya
are undisputedly among the greatest works of Sanskrit literature. Thus it is not
surprising that there have already been many excellent literary interpretations
focusing on these works. My aim is not to augment this list, but instead I
intend to shed some light on the less-investigated political message of these
dramas. In other words, I am attempting to re-read Kālidāsa’s plays as pieces of
While the subject of the Venetian espionage in the Ottoman empire has received
scholarly attention, no attempt has been made to study the baili’s
intelligence-gathering activities on Safavid issues in a systematic way. Through
the close scrutiny of baili dispatches and other relevant materials of the
Venetian State archives, this paper examines the role of the Venetian diplomats

This paper is concerned with the Q-particle də in Sinhala wh-questions and polar questions. Previous approaches propose a two-legged semantic dependency: (i) the lower leg projects a set of alternatives and (ii) the upper leg forms a choice function dependency. The contribution of the present paper is two-fold. First, it presents novel empirical data on complex questions with islands that pose a serious problem for this architecture when applied to polar questions. Second, it develops a new proposal that maintains a common meaning for the Q-particle in the two question types while avoiding this empirical problem. The key insight of the new analysis is to liberalize the upper dependency leg as to pass up a focus value that can later combine with different operators: with the Q-operator in wh-questions and with the squiggle operator in polar questions.
In this paper, I investigate the distribution and semantic behavior of various proportional quantifiers (PQs) in Polish. Based on novel evidence including corpus data, I conclude that Polish PQs do not constitute a uniform category, but rather can be divided into four distinct classes based on the following properties: i) (in)compatibility with numerals and measure words, ii) (in)compatibility with approximative modifiers, iii) (in)compatibility with cumulative predicates and iv) (non)occurrence of spatial integrity effects. I propose that such a typology results from an interplay between more primitive semantic notions. In particular, the data call for combining degree semantics with a mereotopological approach to the meaning of PQs.
Der Aufsatz beschäftigt sich mit der Rezeptionsgeschichte der Gedichte Albrecht von Hallers im Ungarn des 18. Jahrhunderts. Als Grundlage für die Untersuchung dienen die Haller-Zitate in zeitgenössischen Stammbucheinträgen. Mit dieser Frage setzten sich zwar sowohl deutsche als auch ungarische Forscher schon früher auseinander, jedoch, wie im vorliegenden Aufsatz behauptet wird, unter Anwendung einer gewissermaßen falschen Methode. Es wurde nämlich in diesen früheren Arbeiten nicht näher darauf eingegangen, ob das Zitat gegebenenfalls einer sekundären Quelle entnommen wurde. Dieser Ansatz führte jedoch zu falschen Schlussfolgerungen. Vorliegender Aufsatz versucht, die aus sekundären Quellen stammenden Zitate von jenen aus dem „Original“ zu unterscheiden. Es wird festgestellt, dass die in Stammbucheinträgen im 18. Jahrhundert zu lesenden Haller-Zitate überwiegend aus nachweislich sekundären Quellen herzuleiten sind. Je „berühmter“ ein Autor war – diesen Eindruck gewinnt man anhand des Korpus –, umso mehr zitieren ihn die Zeitgenossen aus indirekten Quellen.
Wholly new aspects have lately enriched the research of the Buda library of King Matthias Corvinus, Bibliotheca Corvina. the library – in the last years of its history – is regarded as a self-contained new entity. Research has adopted a far more complex approach than earlier, including the differentiation of the Buda scribes, the recognition of the text critical work of the humanists and of course the activity of the book-binders. Of particular importance are the new investigations of Edina Zsupán, who has managed to prove that several important Corvina manuscripts were copied in Buda. they include the ransanus codex (Budapest, OSzK, Cod.Lat.249), the Beda Venerabilis Codex (Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm 175), the philostratus (Budapest, OSzK, Cod. Lat. 369) and the Averulinus corvinas (Venezia, Bibioteca nazionale Marciana, Lat. VIII. 2 [-2796]), as well as the nagylucse psalter (Budapest, OSzK, Cod. Lat. 369) adapting to the corvinas in all respects. the material of the folios of each is a more roughly finished Central European parchment and the copiers could be identified on the basis of the individual features of their handwriting. However, no names can be attached to them for the time being.
Unexpectedly, a datum was found in a diploma in which a certain Nicolaus, alias scriptor librorum serenissimi Mathiae regis can also be read about. the datum was found in a formularium, so the information about the missilis is defective, but the protagonists can be identified. the letter was written to archbishop cardinal tamás Bakócz who was in rome at that time (1512–1514), and the writer of the letter was probably the bishop of Gyulafehérvár Ferenc Várdai (1513–1524), who asked that in view of the merits of magister senis, he should kindly try and get a papal promissory deed for some church stipend for his frater germanus, magister Nicolaus alias scriptor librorum serenissimi Mathiae regis. this magister senis, the only person actually named in the letter, is Filippo Sergardi (philippus de Senis) (1466–1536), a cleric with lots of curial stipends born in Siena. He visited Hungary as a member of cardinal pietro Isvalies’ legation (1500–1503). He established close relations with the cardinal and archbishop of Esztergom tamás Bakócz and other Hungarians. this nicolaus was his relative, who used to be the scribe of King Matthias’ books.
The basic goal of ecovillages is to create a sustainable lifestyle and community. Many residents of Hungarian ecovillages consider traditional peasant culture the example of an ecological lifestyle; for them, traditional peasant ecological knowledge and practice is an important reference point. Therefore, the pursuit of ecological ideology and an eco-conscious, sustainable way of life naturally leads ecovillagers to peasant material culture. In this study, I present the revival of handicraft heritage in rural eco-communities. I provide an insight into how traditional artifact-making activities come to life, how the old tools of Hungarian peasant culture are used, collected, and copied, and I present the place and interpretation of these old trades and their masters in these communities. The study is based on my ethnographic-anthropological research conducted in Hungarian ecovillages since 2007.
This paper is based on the assumption that there was a well-articulated idea behind the rapidly spreading phenomenon of theft after the formation of collective farms in Transylvania during socialism: people thought that what they were doing was not wrong because the real culprit was the socialist state that deprived them of their control over their lands. Had that not happened, they would still be their own masters, existentially complete, and should the supremacy of this state cease one day, they would once again be who they were before. This idea vitalized their expectations and hopes as a sacred aura. After 1989, these hopes came true temporarily, and partially, but, as it turned out, the peasant order imagined as existential completeness did not return. After joining the EU, the generation that went through socialization owning and cultivating their own land and then lived awaiting and hoping as collectivist peasants had to realize that it was all wrong: the new system brought its own shortcomings, frustrations, and disappointments as their world lost its sacredness. | <urn:uuid:6b5e33fe-889c-47c9-9126-44b47cd4a3e3> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://akjournals.com/collection/Arts?access=user&pageSize=50&sort=datedescending | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.669775 | 25,824 | 2.3125 | 2 |
The hacking tools used to snoop on customers by an Italian company were used to penetrate Apple’s iPhone and Android cellphones. According to Reuters, Alphabet-owned Google confirmed that the attack only affected cellphones in Italy and Kazakhstan.
The tools to eavesdrop on the targeted devices’ private communications and contacts were created by a Milan-based business named RCS Lab, according to the investigation. Governments that would not be able to develop these skills internally are given weapons by these suppliers, which is encouraging the proliferation of dangerous hacking tools “explained Google. The website of RCS Lab lists European law enforcement organisations as clientele.
Regulators in Europe and America have been considering possible updates to the laws governing the sale and import of spyware. According to RCS Lab, its goods and services are compliant with European regulations and support criminal investigations by law enforcement. According to the corporation, “RCS Lab workers are not exposed to, nor do they engage in, any activities done by the relevant clients.” It also said it deplored any misuse of its goods.
Following the disclosure, both Apple and Google took action regarding the event. Apple has invalidated all known accounts and certificates connected to this hacking attempt, according to a company spokeswoman. Google has taken precautions to safeguard Android users and informed them about the spyware.
This is not the first time a business has been discovered creating spyware for governmental and law enforcement organisations. When Pegasus malware from the Israeli espionage company NSO was recently discovered to have been utilised by numerous countries to spy on journalists, activists, and dissidents, the sector came under intense international scrutiny.
According to Bill Marczak, a security researcher with online watchdog Citizen Lab, RCS Lab’s malware can still read communications and view passwords despite being less potent than Pegasus. This demonstrates that despite the widespread use of these devices, much work needs to be done to secure them against these potent attacks “Added he.

Today, we learn from a fascinating gospel. When the people heard Jesus speak, we are told that some of the ordinary people said: “This is really the prophet” and “This is the Christ” yet those who are supposed to know better, the educated/elite, rather wanted to arrest Him. Even when the guards were saying: “No man ever spoke like this man!” the chief priests and pharisees wanted Him arrested. Jesus did not fit their perception of the Christ or the Messiah; thus they wanted to arrest Him, who is God, the source and origin of their life.
We can easily condemn these Pharisees and elders, but if we do some introspection of our life in these times, we will discover that some of us may be like the chief priests and the Pharisees. We may have “arrested” God so many times without knowing. You may have thought “God is not acting quick enough to heal our land of this virus” or “Why does He stand unconcerned while we perish?” or “How can He even allow this to happen to our world?” Thus the idea of God we have doesn’t fit His actions in this our time. We may have even drawn a timetable for God because you have plans you want to accomplish in this year and the more it delays, the worse your situation, and the more you feel dejected.
Remember what the guards said of Him: “No man ever spoke like this man.” His Words are His actions. Let there be and it was. Thus, what they said could also mean “No man ever acted or performed great deeds like Him.”
As we approach the Holy Week the tension between Jesus and the leaders is heightened. He will suffer injustice and an unfair trial so that we will be justified by it. If He has gone through all this for our justification, what will He not do to save us? Do we think He will leave us to perish? Let keep trusting Him in these unusual times and know that He will save us in a way that the ears of all those who will hear will tingle. Today’s acclamation should encourage us: “Blessed are those who, hearing the Word, hold it fast… and bring forth good fruit with patience.” Be patient and know that He remains God.
(Jer 11:18-20; Ps. 7; Jn. 7:40-53)

Plant Based Recipes
Plant based recipes are a foreign concept for most North americans. I used to eat meat from animals and products from them, like milk, cheese and eggs. And then I worked 2 horrifying shifts as a dairy milker at a 130 head dairy farm and saw up close and personal what happens to cows on an industrial farm. Dairy cows live their whole lives in concrete barns, eating, pooping, and giving birth to beautiful calves who are taken from them after just 4 days so that they can maintain milk production that sometimes exceeds 32 litres per day.
With the new market for bovine colostrum (a new “miracle cure” for dogs) this 4 day mother and calf time is no longer written in stone and calves may be taken from their mothers after just a few hours. It’s not like the cows and calves don’t mourn each other’s loss. From what I saw, the new moms are obviously sad and call out repeatedly when their bawling calves are taken from them. It’s no wonder that many dairy cows were afraid of the milkers. Cows that don’t fully cooperate are bad cows and are sold at auction. I was horrified at the was these animals have been turned from a family milk cow into a cog in a big industrial machine.
Plant based Milk Uses Fewer Resources than Dairy
According to the Dairy Farmers of Ontario, a single dairy cow needs to eat about 30 lbs of food per day. And a cow has to drink 80 to 180 litres of water every single day. Many more litres of fresh water is needed to hose their semi liquid poop from the barns and milking parlour. Multiply those numbers by 130 and that’s 3900 lbs of food and 10400 to 23400 of water to make a measly 3900 litres of milk per day. Never mind the fuel and energy used to run a dairy farm- That is still a lot of environmental resources that are going toward when humans don’t need cows milk to thrive. Here is a link to the Dairy Farmers of Ontario website: https://www.milk.org/corporate/view.aspx?content=Faq/DairyCattle
Here are the resources used to make 1 litre of milk.
- Emissions (kg) = .63
- Land Use (square metre)= 1.79
- Water (litre)= 125.62
- Emissions (kg)= .18
- Land Use (square metre)= .15
- Water (litre)= 9.65
- Emissions (kg) = 0.14
- Land use (square metre) = 0.1
- Water (litre) = 74.3
- Emissions (kg) = 0.2
- Land use (square metre) = 0.13
- Water (litre) = 5.6
Plant Based Diet for a Better Planet
I realized that if I wanted to reduce my own impact on this beautiful planet, and help save a bunch of cows and other farm animals from living a miserable life I would need to change my eating habits. I cut out meat and dairy and soon wanted to try a cholesterol free existence, so I also cut eggs out of my diet. The health results? My blood pressure dropped, my cholesterol levels are very low, my energy levels are about the same as ever, and there is still no sign of the diabetes that runs in my family. So far so good.
Here are some great plant based recipes that I know you’ll enjoy, whether you are a hard core vegan or someone who just wants to try some plant based recipes that don’t include animal products.
The Best Bannock Recipe
- Cast Iron Pan
- Chafing Pan
- Large Mixing Bowl
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp flax or olive oil *optional if baking or roasting over a campfire
- Measure all dry ingredients into a large bowl
- Mix well
- Add water and mix to form a soft, very slightly sticky, dough
- Divide dough into 4 equal parts.
- Roll each part into a ball with your hands
- Pat each ball to into a circle, 1/2 inch thick
- Heat 2 tbsp vegan butter or oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
- When the vegan butter has melted, add as many bannocks as will fit comfortably in the pan.
- Cook each side until golden brown on side, flipping as necessary. Cooking time per side will be 5 to 7 minutes. When bannocks are nice and puffy they are ready and delicious. | <urn:uuid:0a2ee206-abde-44b1-8386-5788ec19a382> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://rpodadventure.com/vegan-recipes/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570741.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808001418-20220808031418-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.950149 | 1,005 | 2.59375 | 3 |
Political Campaign Get Savvy At Targeting Cord-Cutters
LULU GARCIA-NAVARRO, HOST:
All these candidates running for seats means most people are being subjected to a glut of political ads on TV. And if you think streaming services will help you escape the barrage of ads, you may be out of luck. KCUR'S Samuel King reports that political campaigns have gotten way more savvy at targeting cord-cutters.
SAMUEL KING, BYLINE: The same technology that allows you to watch your favorite team or show from anywhere also allows political groups on both sides to find you. Here in Kansas City, where there are plenty of competitive races on both sides of the border between Kansas and Missouri, the race to reach streaming TV viewers is particularly intense.
(SOUNDBITE OF POLITICAL AD MONTAGE)
UNIDENTIFIED VOICE ACTOR #1: McCaskill's money machine...
UNIDENTIFIED VOICE ACTOR #2: The golden boy, Josh Hawley, is lying to us again.
UNIDENTIFIED VOICE ACTOR #3: Incredibly wrong for Kansas.
UNIDENTIFIED VOICE ACTOR #4: Sharice Davids is a Pelosi liberal.
KING: The targeting technology solves a problem that has bedeviled campaigns since the dawn of the broadcast age, how to get the best bang for their buck. In markets that cross state lines, advertising on broadcast TV means campaigns have to spend millions of dollars and still end up reaching hundreds of thousands of people who can't vote for them. Christopher Massicotte is a partner at DSPolitical, a Washington, D.C., firm that works with Democrats.
CHRISTOPHER MASSICOTTE: So they know that when they're advertising in these streaming services and online that, you know, nearly 100 percent of their dollars are going to viewers that can actually vote for them.
KING: Massicotte says some streaming services, like Hulu or YouTube, only allow campaigns to target viewers by ZIP code. But others allow ad buyers to go a step further by allowing them to take voter data and match that to the emails and ZIP codes users provided to sign up for the service. That even works for states where voters don't register by party, like Missouri.
MICHAEL FRANZ: They get really granular and try to look at patterns to score somebody on what their propensity to vote for a Democrat or their propensity to vote for a Republican would be.
KING: Mike Franz is a professor at Bowdoin College in Maine and is the director of the Wesleyan Media Project, which tracks and codes political ads in more than 200 markets across the country. He says the ads may unnerve some people.
FRANZ: For campaigns, this is a great opportunity to reach particular voters. It's a little strange from a voter's perspective because they're being sort of targeted. And also, that means they're being somewhat - you know, so to speak - watched.
KING: While television is still where campaigns spend much of their money, digital is coming on strong. The research firm Borrell Associates estimates $1.8 billion will be spent on digital political advertising this year. One of the company's vice presidents, Kip Cassino, says campaigns have taken a page from the corporate world.
KIP CASSINO: People started saying - gee, if we can do this with lawn mowers and automobiles, why can't we do it with politicians? And that is exactly what's happened.
KING: Chris Massicotte says - in the end, the best way to get a political message out is through video, no matter the medium.
MASSICOTTE: A client sent an email to me that was from somebody they must've been advertising to. And they were watching a baseball game on mlb.com. And they said - really, you had to politicize my baseball? And you know, (laughter) - I'm like, hey, playoffs are in October. Of course we did.
KING: And this type of targeting may be here to stay. Cassino says to expect a lot more political advertising on your streaming service in 2020.

To the GHT statisticians, I need confirmation about the best approach to design an epidemiological study on "causes of rota vaccine failure in children". My programme will vaccinate and follow up a birth cohort of about 170,000 children with rota virus vaccine. In parallel to this implementation work, i am considering designing some research to evaluate potential causes of vaccine failure such as high levels of maternal immunity, levels of IgA in milk, severe malnutrition and HIV/AIDS. Expected vaccine efficacy is about 49.2% and seroconversion rates of about 47.8%. Alpha at 5%, 95% confidence and 80% power. I need some comments/guidance as to the sample size approach. Many thanks, Roma
170,000 children is quite a big sample size... If you are going to use all the children for your research, then sample size should be the least of your worries. However, for proper study design writting you need to do the calculations.

“Kraft u. Gewandtheit, ein stark’ Geschlecht,
ehrend was groß u. edel u. recht,
das pflegt die Turnkunst, u.’s Vaterland spricht:
Schwächling u. Feigling, sie dienen mir nicht!”
(Power and agility, a strong race,
honoring what is important and excellent and just,
this is cultivated by gymnastics, and the fatherland says:
weaklings and cowards don’t serve me!)
Friedrich Ludwig Jahn (1778-1852), or “Turnvater Jahn”, is credited with responsibility for the rebirth of gymnastics in Germany during the early 19th century, and with organizing the first German gymnastics clubs (Turn Vereine), represented by the “4F” symbol above the central image. The four Fs stand for “Frisch, Fromm, Fröhlich, Frei” (Fresh, Pious, Happy, Free). | <urn:uuid:9a0a3963-42b8-4efe-a6c2-08170cb9a515> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.beerstein.net/item.asp?ItemNum=rme-1337 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.655392 | 306 | 2.1875 | 2 |
How to Create a website using WixCreating a website with Wix
Wix.com is a free on-line utility that allows you to create a website. Here is a fundamental introductory step-by-step guide, as well as a file for creating a test page. Wix.com is a free on-line web site creation utility that lets you create a website with thousands of fully customisable template options to meet your needs.
Display is everything, and these eye-catching designs demand little esthetic customization, but countless possibilities make the site unique. Whatever kind of website you want to create, Wix provides template content that complements companies, face-to-face portfolio, blog, non-profit, and more. Some few submissions are listed under "eCommerce" and are aimed at shopkeepers.
In other words, the Wix e-commerce plans must be bought in order to be able to visit the Wix shop, but all the template files are freely editable. In addition, empty template files are available for a full transform. Here I made a simple example page to show my experiences with the Wix-Editor.
This website contains five pages (and a subpage) about the hummingbirds, as well as facts and advice on how to create a protected area for them. The Wix submissions can be viewed as guests, but to modify them you must first login or create your free trial area ( a simple, one-step process). When you log in for the first the following page suggests some website category (e.g. eBusiness, Shop On Line, Photography) to tailor the selection of your site to your needs or you can click on the "Show All" button below the right well.
At Wix we offer a large selection of template files, each with its own gadget or "additions" for certain website styles. As an example, the template for on-line shops are provided with the pushbuttons "Shopping Cart", "Add to Cart" and "View Cart", but can be deleted if required. You can fully convert all your originals into custom themes.
Please notice that I created my website with the pattern "Landscape Photographer". The Explore feature at the top of the Wix website provides the user with ideas from other people. You can only process the originals, however. When you are finished looking at the artwork you selected, click "Edit this site" to begin. After loading the editors, a first user will see a step-by-step introductory movie, which can be recalled at any moment by right click on the upper left corner of the screen.
Helpdesk provides a tutorial for each team. Below is a quick shot of the Wix Editor: I describe the edit tools as a headers toolbar (black top bar), five tabbed pages (left modules), and a major port (where the operation takes place). Head toolbar contains some fundamental choices suitable for the machining operation.
You can switch between a Desktop screen and a portable edit screen, quickly browse between pages, browse the Wix-Editor, reverse or repeat an operation, and copy and past. Customize the design Here you can customize the backgrounds, colour scheme and fonts of your website. You can select from several default wallpapers and texts.
Stay fully customized by allowing the end users to either load pictures for single page wallpapers or block an overall one. There are many items available to create your website, such as text, pictures, galleries, utilities, button icons, and more. The added pictures are particularly clear; all up-loads are in one place (in the picture compartment).
User have full control over all their pictures when they change a wallpaper or select pictures for different gallery. And you can even manipulate your pictures directly from the user surface, a very handy way to make fast fixes. The Wix App Market provides several free and free of charge applications classified on the far right of this page.
Preferences All editors can make certain adjustments by click on this modul, which includes searching machine optimisation (SEO) and Facebook connection. On the Wix website, click on "My Pages" and then on "Manage Page". See location stats, add a sign symbol or link a wix to your wix with a free subscription.
It' simple to use because you can click directly on any arbitrary element to resize it, animate it, modify options, move it over or under other elements, and choose which pages display that one. One of the Wix Editor's great features is the layered options, which makes the organisation comfortable and customisable.
Sometimes this "layer lock" problem happens when the "Show on all pages" checkbox is selected and can usually be resolved by clearing the checkbox and trying to pull the element forward again. Gridline compliance is important for those looking for a portable, easy-to-use look at their website while retaining a powerful wallpaper look.
Headers toolbar allows you to switch between your website screen and your home screen to see the different ads. Storing your website does not display your changes on-lineutomatically. It is also possible to recover stored copies of your artwork by going to the Wix home page and click "My Pages"> "Manage Website" next to the appropriate one.
Then, under "Website Actions", continue with "Site History" to return to earlier template files. Wix Help Center is convenient because it contains tutorial videos for each of the tools. Furthermore, the Get Feedback button on the right side of the editors allows users to get feedback from the Wix team before sharing their website.
The Wix administrator can publish commentaries (displayed as flashing reds ) throughout the user's website to provide advice and give advice. Allows you to create a test Web site. Talking about her career as a free-lance computer programmer, Rachel Manning creates web sites and web apps from her home in Mammoth Lakes, California.
Wix.com is a free on-line utility that allows you to create a website. Here is a fundamental introductory step-by-step guide, as well as a file for creating a test page. From TRS-80 machines to gaming sites to children programming lessons at the school, Chris will talk about his trip.

If there was ever a director to humanize a Bible story, it would be an agnostic — so ready or not, here comes Ridley Scott’s take on Moses in Exodus: Gods and Kings. I’m not much for religion myself either, so I was very interested to see how Scott would present the story of the famed Egyptian and his mission to free his people. Delivering on a grand scale, Scott has teamed up with four writers to give a far more realistic depiction of ancient times and question whether Moses was in fact, following orders from God, or simply suffering a concussion. Does he give any kind of answer? Thankfully, he leaves a few things up to the viewer.
In 1300 BC, Memphis, Egypt, Moses (Christian Bale) and Ramses (Joel Edgerton) love each other as brothers. Taken in as a baby by Seti (John Torturro), and now grown, Moses and Ramses fight side-by-side, and are even given each other’s swords as gifts after a prophecy proclaims that one will save the other during battle and become a great leader. During a trip to Pithom, while meeting with Viceroy Hegep (Ben Mendelsohn), a slave named Joshua (Aaron Paul) leads Moses to speak with Nun (Ben Kingsley), who informs him he is Hebrew, sent by his sister Miriam (Tara Fitzgerald) down the river, to be raised by the Pharaohs. Disbelieving Nun’s story, he returns to Memphis to find Seti on his deathbed.
After Seti passes, Hegep shows up to inform Ramses about Moses’s true lineage and Queen Tuya (Sigourney Weaver) has him ostracized. While traveling through the desert, Moses winds up in Midian, where he takes a wife in Zipporah (Maria Valverde). Nine years later, Moses is rounding up some sheep on God’s Mountain and hits his head during a landslide. Here, he has a vision, of a burning bush and a messenger of God in the form of a boy named Malak (Isaac Andrews). Now, Moses must step up to save his Hebrew people, teaching them the art of war to attack the Egyptians prompting Malak to unleash the 10 plagues before the final mass exodus leads them all to the Red Sea for one final showdown.
Religion aside, Exodus: Gods and Kings works wonders as grand scale entertainment. Filled with spectacular effects and wincing brutality, it’s a wonder the film skirts by with a PG-13 rating. From a vicious crocodile attack turning the water into blood to swarming locusts to the death of every firstborn, Scott and his writers quartet of writers (Adam Cooper, Bill Collage, Jeffrey Caine, and Oscar-winner Steve Zaillian) never hold back from the atrocities. Let alone that we’re pitted right in the middle of the chaos in a stunning use of 3D. Scott is definitely one the better users of the format, letting the third dimension immerse you in an ancient land, not just as a gimmick having objects leap from the screen.
The cast helped lend a definite air of realism, with Bale showing he’s still much more than The Dark Knight. He never lets his performance wander too far into crazy, providing sympathy for a man who really just wants to set his enslaved people free from tyranny. As the arrested development-challenged Ramses, Edgerton makes the man-child more likeable than you’d think without turning him into an outright villain. As for the supporting cast, the young Andrews and Kingsley fare the best, with Paul proving he was cast for having a fantastic set of crazy eyes, but poor Weaver is completely wasted and featured in only a handful of scenes. Let alone that she never once sports any kind of accent whatsoever.
For anyone looking for a more thoughtful and grounded presentation of Biblical lore, Exodus: Gods and Kings is the perfect kind of film that never turns into Bible-thumping, nor strays into any kind of sacrilege — it strikes the perfect balance. And in a year finding fewer than normal outstanding films, Exodus may not be one of the year’s best, but it’s definitely one of the year’s better.

Balance is key to optimizing performance. And while to the layperson balance means “equilibrium,” the Doctors of LiveWell are primarily concerned with the balance between your bones, muscles, tissue, ligaments, and tendons. Keeping the body balanced and aligned is the key to the performance of any athlete. There are no better local chiropractors to rely on than USA Olympian, Dr. Bobby and fitness guru, Dr. Jenn. They both enjoy working with other athletes to assist in reaching the highest potential possible.
The body is meant to function in synergy with itself, each part working in unison with others. Each joint in the body is responsible for a small, specific movement. If one or more of these joints cannot express its full range of motion, the unnatural movement patterns will throw your body out of balance and increase the chance of injury.
Misaligned spinal bones have an effect on your nervous system as well. Out of place vertebrae prevent the nerves from sending the proper signals throughout your body, resulting in either too much or not enough of the right signals reaching the muscles and other bodily systems you rely upon to perform. This type of obstruction in your nervous system increases your risk of pulled muscles, joint inflammation, torn ligaments, tendinitis, joint dislocation and other athletic injuries.
By eliminating the imbalances that occur within the body and by keeping everything functioning at its peak, chiropractic care greatly reduces the likelihood of injury. | <urn:uuid:eac509bf-c74b-46b9-a4ee-41c418f90b4f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://livewellintegratedhealth.com/performance/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.945582 | 299 | 2.078125 | 2 |
2. The development context has undergone major changes in the last few decades, with intense community and voluntary sector involvement that has flourished and provided a host of physical interventions, buildings, infrastructure, and creative conservation projects, for example the Chultύrlann Uí Chainán Irish Language Cultural Centre in the Clarendon Street Conservation Area
3. Resulting from the hardship that is borne out of the extreme poverty, human loss, and devastation that the city endured post-war and before and during the Troubles, the city’s unique identity and character has been restored and consolidated within the historic core, displayed in the ways that the buildings and walls have been rebuilt, most notably the Foyle Hospice, which has demonstrated the culture of kindness and caring of the community in Derry
4. Derry~Londonderry is culturally rich and exhibits a range of dynamic arts organizations, several distinctive purpose-built facilities, and the creative alteration and extension of previously at-risk or vacant historic buildings to provide much needed facilities – the city is known for its remarkable clustering of talent, vision, energy and social capital, which is recognized in its designation as the first ever UK City of Culture for 2013
5. City Council has worked hard to collaborate with key partners to deliver a regeneration plan to guide development and attract future investment, involving youth and children in the process, and has been successful in delivering a new shared space scheme in the city to enhance the night time amenities while improving the public realm
Derry-Londonderry is a city located in the North of Northern Ireland whic has a distinctive visual character deriving from its highly visible hilly historic town centre, located at the lowest bridging point at the broad sweep of the River Foyle and the backdrop of the Donegal and Sperrin mountains. Historically the city evolved from a monastic settlement on the rising slopes of a hilly island close to the western riverbank. This hillside was overlain by the distinctive grid pattern plan and defensive city walls built by the London Companies during the early 17th century Ulster Plantation and lengthy periods of relative prosperity and wealth for the merchant classes in the 18th, 19th and early 20th century gave rise to the architecturally rich historic buildings within the Walled City. However, in the mid 20th Century the city’s economy worsened and then through the 1970s and 80s, as the city became embroiled in the death and destruction of ‘The Troubles’, the economy nose-dived.
Now the city is emerging, blinking, into the bright lights of peace and political stability. In this new dispensation it is all too easy to forget the harrowing reality that was considered ‘normal’ for so many years. The ‘Troubles’ permeated everyone and everything and had a massive impact on the physical appearance of the city, partly because of the extensive loss of historic buildings, but also because the ‘Troubles’ – combined with the historically weak economy – generated a very difficult development context within the city. This presented extreme difficulty for all statutory agencies and others charged with the daunting task of its regeneration.
The physical effect of the legacy of this difficult development context is evident in historic buildings lost and also the relatively poor design quality of several of the buildings that emerged during the 1970s, 80s and 90s. More recently there are sure signs that the development context is changing for the better. Intense community/voluntary sector energies hard at work below the surface through the 1980s, 90s and into the 21st century have flourished and are now evidenced by a host of physical interventions, buildings, infrastructure and creative conservation projects. Of special note is the highly innovative Chultύrlann Uí ChainánIrish Language Cultural Centre, in the Clarendon Street Conservation Area, although distinctively different from its immediate surroundings it knits into the surrounding historic streetscape and wider roofscape remarkably well.
A growing ease with cultural diversity has seen a shift in perceptions away from an age old fixation with bi-lateral cultural identity to increased acceptance of multi-cultural identity. This shift is being actively fostered by the work of SEEDs, a non-profit organisation located within the walled city at the Craft Village, which has built on the very strong sense of place and belonging to Derry-Londonderry that people feel. Still tight-knit extended families and communities known for their ready warmth, quick wit and friendliness demonstrate a respect for and commitment to family, and a resilience – that owes much to the hardship that is borne out of the extreme poverty, human loss and devastation that the city endured post war and before and during the Troubles.
One project in the city perhaps more than any others amply demonstrates the keen sense of belonging and respect for people – the Foyle Hospice. In spite of, or perhaps because of, the city’s sufferings this community has evolved a culture of kindness and caring that has supported the creation of an exemplary facility. Since 1986 cross-community fund raising and volunteering has ensured the establishment and endurance of this special place of respite and care for those with life limiting and terminal illnesses.
Today’s new political stability – combined with the town’s successful designation as the first ever UK City of Culture for 2013 and the recent opening of the highly successful pedestrian Peace Bridge – affords major opportunity for change and has injected an energy and buoyancy that ten, twenty, thirty or forty years ago could not have been contemplated.
Indeed Derry City Council have worked continuously with key partners to deliver the ‘One City, One Plan, One Vote’ Regeneration Plan to guide development and attract future investment. The Regeneration Plan’s vision is ‘a competitive, connected, creative and caring City; aims for a strong, vibrant, forward looking City and City Region that is well connected, attractive to talent and investment and appealing to visitors – a place of diversity, equality and opportunity where all residents enjoy an outstanding quality of life and are given the opportunity to realise their full potential’.
The involvement and engagement of children and young people is central to this process, given the higher than average young population of the City (40% lower than 25 years). Derry City Council has created a new post of Children and Young People’s Co-ordinator to help embed the rights of children and young people in strategic planning, policy and decision making arrangements at a local level, working in conjunction with all stakeholders involved in development work focusing on children and young people.
The city has a number of highly appealing qualities that raise the quality of life substantially for those living, working and visiting this small-scale city. An extensive range of facilities, highly accessible to all, provide for the needs of all age groups and attract long-term residents, incomers and visitors alike. A breadth of retail, leisure and entertainment meets the interests and needs of all age groups, with numerous festivals and activities throughout the year. Health and social provision is good and there is strong community cohesion.
Relative newcomers to the city, young and old, are warmly embraced and before long find themselves bumping into people they know in the street or supermarket, or actively involved in the myriad community/voluntary sector organisations at work above and below the surface of this intriguing and engaging city.
An expanding University campus (30,000 students at present) is retaining students within the wider population and supporting cultural and economic growth. The 2003 relocation of The University of Ulster’s School of Music from Belfast to its Derry campus at Magee culminated in the creation of a new School of Creative and Performing Arts comprising undergraduate, Masters and PhD courses in music and drama. Reflecting the city’s strong and enduring record of choral activity and festivals including the Foyle Film Festival, City of Derry Guitar Festival, City of Derry Jazz Festival and the annual Festival of Song.
In addition Derry~Londonderry has given birth to, and nurtured the talent of, a number of remarkable people from such fields as politics, poetry, drama, literature, journalism, music, community activism, and conflict resolution. The vast majority of these remarkable people still live and work in the city. Others retain strong links and are frequent returning visitors. Visitors and incoming workers familiar with similar sized cities in other parts of the UK comment extremely positively on this remarkable clustering of talent, vision, energy and the evidence of high levels of social capital.
The central core area has strong traditional passive urban design qualities, with active frontages facing the city walls and a living-over-the-shops tradition. Despite the physical devastation of the city’s historic core – not least in the walled city – Derry still retains a substantial proportion of its Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian terraced residential streets. Many of these are still either in full residential use or have a mix of uses and provide effective self-surveillance. The opening of the Peace Bridge on the 25th of June, which spans the River Foyle, brings the Waterside into the city centre and with the redevelopment of Ebrington, creates a new shared space in the city which will enhance the evening and night time offer. Within the town centre recent introduction of a wider range of evening activities, upgrading of the public realm and improved street lighting has improved external self-surveillance on and around the city walls. This has helped redress some emerging difficulties (post Troubles) due to alcohol consumption affecting social use of space in the evenings. This work is ongoing and multi-faceted.
Derry-Londonderry is the fourth largest settlement on the island of Ireland, with a city population of circa 100,000, and is the centre of economic activity for the north-west region. Infrastructural provision is good, with a City airport, good road links to other Irish population centres and the surrounding region, a University and Further education college training a highly educated young population. It also has port facilities and high capacity transatlantic IT connection. Therefore, there is strong investment in the infrastructure and skills needed to attract international investment.
Traditional local manufacturing and port-related industries no longer exist and are being replaced by financial services, new media and creative industries. These are generating ‘small-scale’ local long-term business development and growth. The City has a vibrant mix of commercial activity, located both within and outside of the City Centre which is commensurate with its role as a Regional City for the NorthWest of Ireland – serving a significant catchment population of c.350,000.
The City has a strong social economy sector delivering a range of functions and services, both in the City Centre and also within neighbourhoods. These social economy enterprises play a significant role within the City’s overall commercial offer within a range of sectors including arts, culture, retail, entertainment and creative arts/technologies. The City prides itself in having a strong third-level education sector through the presence of the North West Regional College as well as the University of Ulster Magee campus. Both these institutes actively promote research and innovation within a number of key subject areas, which have culminated in the creation of unique research-led partnerships.
Most parts of the town are accessible of foot and cycle, although some streets are quite steep. Local bus services connect suburbs with the town centre. There are no river boats and the rail service is limited with just one route (there used to be four railway stations serving the whole hinterland). There is high car dependency. Freight is brought either by road, or through the port and then by road. Port and public transport connectivity needs to be improved.
The City could do more to limit the use of non-renewable resources, particularly with the availability of wind power and wave power close by, however this is being addressed now by Northern Ireland government and cross-border agencies. The emphasis in mid-late 20th century has been on car based travel, with a lot of suburban development and peripheral retail. This is expected to rapidly change through enhanced public transport provision, including QBC’s (Quality Bus Corridors). | <urn:uuid:73ac4448-bdbf-4e2b-858f-dd3f1cfcc9aa> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.academyofurbanism.org.uk/derrylondonderry/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572408.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816151008-20220816181008-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.95677 | 2,502 | 2.546875 | 3 |
PARIS — The French Protection Ministry has contracted with Airbus Defence and Area, and Thales for preliminary work on France’s first operational eavesdropping satellite tv for pc even because it struggles to align army house program targets with a 2015 price range that has not been absolutely secured, French authorities and business officers mentioned.
Underneath a contract valued at about 325 million euros ($406 million), France’s arms procurement company, DGA, expects Airbus and Thales to start work on the CERES electronics-intercept program in March, with the three satellites to be launched into low Earth orbit in 2020.
Your entire CERES price range is estimated at about 460 million euros together with the bottom phase and the primary two years of operations, which will likely be dealt with by the Airbus-Thales crew.
The issue for DGA is that it needs CERES work to begin similtaneously it plans to pick a builder for France’s next-generation army telecommunications satellite tv for pc program, tentatively referred to as Comsat NG, which might succeed the Syracuse 3 satellites now in orbit round 2021.
French protection officers have mentioned the necessity to change the present Syracuse 3 satellites is just too pressing to attend for an settlement with Britain or Italy on cost-sharing for a next-generation satellite tv for pc telecommunications infrastructure.
French protection officers have tentatively budgeted 800 million euros for Comsat NG, with an preliminary cost of 60 million euros anticipated in 2015 as soon as France decides who will construct the system. Airbus and Thales Alenia Area are each candidate prime contractors. A British collaboration would have favored Airbus, which has massive satellite tv for pc manufacturing installations in Britain. A French-Italian settlement would favor Thales Alenia Area, a Franco-Italian firm.
Airbus and Thales Alenia Area are sharing accountability for France’s next-generation optical reconnaissance satellite tv for pc program, which the French Protection Ministry continues to consult with as MUSIS — for MUltinational Area-based Imaging System for Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Statement — regardless of the absence of any actual pan-European settlement on the system.
DGA chief Laurent Collet-Billon, well-known for his no-sugarcoating talking model, advised the French Senate that France is about able to abandon hope of bringing Germany into this system, which might allow the development of a 3rd optical reconnaissance satellite tv for pc.
“The place are we with European cooperation? Nowhere,” Collet-Billon mentioned in testimony on the 2015 price range launched by the Senate the week of Nov. 24. “We’re nonetheless discussing with Germany the development of a 3rd satellite tv for pc, however for them the problem is the commercial return for his or her business. They’ve mentioned a satellite tv for pc that may be absolutely constructed by OHB [based in Bremen, Germany]. The longer we wait, the much less related the problem turns into as a result of know-how evolves.”
Collet-Billon mentioned the Italian contribution to MUSIS up to now — like Germany, Italy has its personal constellation of radar reconnaissance satellites and is involved in an optical system — “is minimal.” He mentioned Belgium has mentioned it could be keen to speculate 50 million euros within the French system, however provided that Belgian business advantages accordingly.
The MUSIS system is already below contract to Airbus and Thales Alenia Area, a deal valued at 795 million euros, and is thus extra protected than CERES from any price range issues as DGA tries to implement its program.
Key to the profitable begin of CERES is whether or not the French Protection Ministry will generate enough income, in 2015, from the sale of actual property belongings and of its license to make use of radio spectrum within the 700 megahertz frequency band.
These one-time income sources make up a big proportion of the entire army house capital outlays scheduled for 2015.
French military Gen. Pierre de Villiers, who’s chief of the French Joint Protection Employees, advised the Senate listening to that the satellite tv for pc telecommunications system should not be delayed. The satellites have to be ordered in 2015, he mentioned.
French army house spending over time has averaged round 450 million euros. However the precise funding since 2011 has been lower than 200 million euros. CERES and different deliberate packages, together with Comsat NG, have been delayed.
Collet-Billon mentioned CERES is nonetheless absolutely embedded in French army technique, which has included the launch of a number of demonstrator eavesdropping satellites to check the related applied sciences.
Totally different French army and intelligence providers have completely different priorities with respect to the radio frequencies CERES ought to take heed to, Collet-Billon mentioned. However all are agreed that the mission is essential.
“With MUSIS and CERES, we can have each the image and the sound, so to talk,” Collet-Billon mentioned. “Our precedence now’s to determine what we’re going to do on our drones. We’re finding out learn how to put this sound-and-picture functionality on the Reaper.”
France has bought Reaper unmanned aerial autos from Common Atomics of San Diego, whereas ready for a European consortium to discipline its personal autos.
The CERES system will likely be constructed by Airbus Defence and Area; Thales Airborne Methods; and Thales Alenia Area. | <urn:uuid:22d9f8b4-b1f2-422f-b97a-96dad53d20e7> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://table4.org/2014/12/10/france-starts-work-on-eavesdropping-satellite-despite-funding-uncertainty/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.932032 | 1,145 | 1.570313 | 2 |

Bank of England governor says efforts to reverse global warming will lead to ‘major changes’ in UK economy
Companies that fail to respond to the challenges of climate change “will go bankrupt without question”, the governor of the Bank of England has warned.
Mark Carney said banks and insurance companies were among firms threatened by growing efforts to tackle global warming, which he said would result in “major changes” to the economy.
But he insisted that capitalism was “part of the solution” to addressing the crisis and said there would be “great fortunes made” by companies that understood this.
Earlier this month, the government ordered the Bank of England to assess the readiness of the UK financial system to cope with changes that will result from climate change and attempts to tackle it.
Mr Carney warned businesses that they will go bust if they fail to respond to efforts to reverse global warming.

Lucius Venable "Lucky" Millinder (August 8, 1910 – September 28, 1966) was an American rhythm-and-blues and swing bandleader. Although he could not read or write music, did not play an instrument and rarely sang, his showmanship and musical taste made his bands successful. His group was said to have been the greatest big band to play rhythm and blues, and gave work to a number of musicians who later became influential at the dawn of the rock and roll era. He was inducted into the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame in 1986.
Millinder was born Lucius Venables in Anniston, Alabama, United States. He took the surname Millinder as a child, and was raised in Chicago. In the 1920s, he worked in clubs, ballrooms, and theatres in Chicago as a master of ceremonies and dancer. He first fronted a band in 1931 for an RKO theater tour, and in 1932 took over the leadership of Doc Crawford's orchestra in Harlem. He also freelanced elsewhere.
In 1933, he took a band to Europe, playing residencies in Monte Carlo and Paris. He returned to New York to take over the leadership of the Mills Blue Rhythm Band, which included Henry "Red" Allen, Charlie Shavers, Harry "Sweets" Edison and J. C. Higginbotham, and which had a regular slot at The Cotton Club. | <urn:uuid:de2b22b3-3a61-492d-aacb-9ce512cfbdd3> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://bigband.johncordova.com/node/89 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573118.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817213446-20220818003446-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.984773 | 310 | 2.640625 | 3 |
Can a Green Tax Reform Entail Employment Double Dividend in European and non-European Countries? A Survey of the Empirical Evidence
This paper synthesises the simulation studies concerning green tax reform (GTR) and employment double dividend (EDD) in European and non-European countries. The studies included investigate the effect of GTR on employment. We compared the simulation results between European and non-European countries to understand the impact of study regionand our findings are fivefold. First, the simulation results suggest that GTR-driven EDD is observed in both European and non-European countries, but the average effect on employment in European countries (0.67%) is significantly greater than in non-European countries (0.18%). Second, optimal tax and tax revenue recycling policies in European and non-European countries for EDD are not identical. Reducing employers' social security contributions (SSC) has the potential to generate EDD in both countries. However, a reduction in value added tax (VAT) has the highest average effect on employment in European countries (1.62%), which negatively affects employment in non-European countries (-0.02%). Third, a reduction in personal income tax (PIT) as a tax recycling method creates a marginally average employment dividend in non-European countries (0.16%) but is counterproductive in European countries (-0.15%). Fourth, other taxes, which predominantly represent mixed taxes, exhibit the highest EDD potential in both European (1.01%) and non-European (0.46%) countries. Finally, employment dividend diminishes over time, but a weak quadratic pattern has been observed that reveals an accelerating effect on employment in the long term. These reflections should be considered before employing GTR in non-European countries in order to yield EDD.

In a nutshell: A handy fridge pack of 8 small cans of Fever Tree's original Premium Tonic Water.
The lowdown: By blending fabulous botanical oils with spring water and the highest quality quinine from the fever-tree, Fever Tree have created a delicious, natural tonic with a uniquely clean and refreshing taste and aroma. Winner of San Sebastian Gourmet Awards, 2006.
Following a 'tonic tasting' on the US market, Charles Rolls - who built his reputation running Plymouth Gin - joined forces with Tim Warrillow, who had a background in luxury food marketing, to analyse the composition of mixers.

Septic system ingredients are marketed to homeowners throughout the United States, but they do not have guideline, standardized screening, as well as formal accreditation. That can make it difficult to understand if septic system ingredients truly work, and also if you require them in all septic tank pump timer location.
To find solutions, we will separate additives right into three groups: inorganic substances, natural solvents, and biological ingredients.
Sewage-disposal tank ingredients with not natural compounds consist of strong acids as well as alkalis. They are implied to unblock septic system pipes. While these chemical ingredients might function as marketed, we recommend you avoid them since they:
damage the germs that are vital to the wastewater treatment process
reduce the effectiveness of traditional septic systems
rust and also cause leakages in concrete treatment containers
stop the anaerobic digestion process in septic tanks
disrupt the performance of secondary therapy systems (consisting of the Ecoflo biofilter).
Septic tank ingredients with natural solvents are suggested to break down fats, oils, as well as oils. Again, although these items may work, we recommend you avoid them due to the fact that they:.
- hinder the performance of additional therapy systems.
- pollute groundwater.
- eliminate the bacteria in septic tanks.
- negatively impact the health of traditional septic tanks.
Organic sewage-disposal tank ingredients include yeasts, all-natural germs, and enzymes. They are implied to improve the microbial plants in septic systems and also drain areas, control biomass, as well as reactivate dormant septic tanks.
Do I need to add microorganisms to my septic system?
Person going down an organic sewage-disposal tank additive with microorganisms and also enzymes into their toilet.
Healthy and balanced septic systems already have sufficient microorganisms to sustain the biological procedures that deal with human waste as well as wastewater.
By adding more germs in the tank, you produce conditions in which bacterial populaces complete against each other. This competition can do more harm than great.
Unhealthy septic systems are a different tale. Often, the microbial plants in these systems has actually been destabilized by large amounts of toxic substances, consisting of:.
- specific soaps.
- cleaning|cleansing} items.
When this happens, bacterial ingredients might assist you re-establish a healthy equilibrium in your septic system. To learn if this step is right for you, call your septic tank maker or ask our group of experts.
Do I need to include sewage-disposal tank enzymes?
Ingredients with enzymes (likewise known as biography enzymes) are suggested to boost microbial populations in sewage-disposal tanks. They do this by changing the framework of natural impurities to make sure that microorganisms can prey on them more conveniently.
There are 2 vital things to understand about septic tank enzymes:.
They are specific.
For example, take two typical enzymes: cellulase and also protease. Cellulase breaks down just toilet tissue and also other fibrous materials. Protease breaks down only protein-based pollutants. These enzymes have no result on various other natural pollutants.
They are not alive as well as can not duplicate.
Unlike germs, enzymes must be frequently acquired and also included in your septic system to preserve their designated efficiency.
Some septic tank enzymes are marketed to restrict the accumulation of a residue layer. They work by permitting fats, oils, as well as oils to stream downstream right into additional treatment systems and various other septic system elements.
The problem is that fats, oils, and greases are not meant to stream downstream. If they do, they can overload your septic tank components, damage their performance, and reduce their life expectancy.
The # 1 Septic System Treatment On The Marketplace: Septifix
Each of our 55 grams tablets has 14 strains of aerobic germs – over 10 billion germs pressures per gram, oxygenation and pH controling compounds that securely and also successfully enhance the growth of germs colonies inside your septic system, enabling them to prosper for as much as 90 days.
That’s why if you use SEPTIFIX, your septic system will stay tidy for longer periods of time compared to all other septic system therapies.
When our tablets get in your septic tank, they dissolve gradually launching sodium carbonate as well as oxygen – up to 10 litres of oxygen per tablet computer.
The oxygen in kind of tiny bubbles disperses throughout your septic tank, while sodium carbonate serves as a buffer on the water, bringing it to a neutral pH.
The released oxygen reacts right away with the waste compounds that are inside your sewage-disposal tank and lowers, after that slowly gets rid of the scent – in just 3 to 5 days.
At the same time, all negative anaerobic microorganisms like e coli or salmonella which create in your septic system together with other harmful illness triggering microorganisms, and also can trigger numerous health problems to your family are destroyed!
In the meantime, the live microorganisms from our SEPTIFIX tabs feed with all the residues that are inside your septic tank, consisting of toilet tissue, oils, oil as well as soaps, leaving your container tidy, thus lowering and also in most cases, even removing the demand to have your septic system pumped.

So Why Is SEPTIFIX Means More Efficient Than Any Other Sewage-disposal Tank Treatment?
– Our tablets increase oxygen levels throughout the volume of water 75% more than with manual oygenation, permitting the online microorganisms to thrive for as much as 90 days in your sewage-disposal tank.
Regarding we understand, SEPTIFIX is the only oxygen releasing septic tank treatment available on the American market!
– The Oxygen is released promptly – approximately 10 liters of oxygen per tablet, and it responds with Hydrogen Sulfides (the scents), removing all unwanted septic scents after simply a few days.
– SEPTIFIX remaining components will certainly neutralize the pH of the waste water which, when incorporated with high oxygen focus, results in an ideal setting for our cardiovascular microbial stress to prosper.
– The technology used inside our SEPTIFIX tabs, enables our tablets to anchor within the sludge layer as well as treat the whole quantity of water from all-time low up, soon after they have dissolved. Therefore, ALL your septic tank obtains cleaned up.
– Because each of our tablet computers include over 10 billion cardiovascular bacteria strains (which is practically 3 times greater than all our competitors), this makes sure mass reduction in grease build up, sludge, blockages, and all hazardous virus – like e coli or salmonella, which can form in your septic system and also can trigger many health problems to your family members are damaged!
– Additionally, all offensive smells are gotten rid of after just 3 to 5 days!
– Our SEPTIFIX tablet computers minimize, and for the most part also gets rid of the requirement to pump your septic system, permitting you to conserve a minimum of $300 every year!
– And they aid you stop all feasible issues in a septic tank system.
In 2015, The Division of Health estimated that 31% of the septic system systems in United States were failing to some degree.
And that has actually been determined as the top groundwater contamination factor in the US.
There are 3 sorts of germs constantly present in a septic system system.
aerobic germs, which is the great microorganisms that assists break down waste.
anaerobic microorganisms – they are much less efficient at breaking down solids – actually they rarely do any kind of job inside your sewage-disposal tank and they are normally providers of condition.
Aerobic bacteria (our microorganisms) need oxygen to endure which’s why several septic system systems have aerators, although aerators included a huge cost of over $10,000 for instalment, and a yearly electrical power expense of over $100.
Anaerobic bacteria do not call for oxygen to survive and according to the new scientific research, they are an indicator that pathogens like typhoid, e-coly, salmonella, and also cholera, also viruses, like those that create polio and also Hepatitis A, may be present in your sewage-disposal tank.
These dangerous pathogens from septic systems can infect groundwater, as well as if they in some way flow back right into your home or close to your garden through the drainpipe field, your family members can get sick.
In 2009, 8 houses in Swan’s Island, Maine experienced a Liver disease A break out. A contaminated family spread out the virus to 8 other homes.
The contamination happened due to the fact that the household’s malfunctioning septic system drawn away waste water with Hepatitis An infection in the ground. One specific passed away!
Luckily for you …
The billions of real-time cardio microorganisms inside SEPTIFIX, with the help of the oxygen released by each tablet computer, ruin all these pathogens and also infections by reducing the effects of the waste water from your septic system …
Keeping your family members, your next-door neighbors and the atmosphere, safe.
With the help of SEPTIFIX, your household can appreciate your beautiful yard without any risk. | <urn:uuid:41106eb7-53f5-45c3-8674-4b12e0cd80ed> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.louisiana-festivals.com/septic-tank-pump-timer-location/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570741.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808001418-20220808031418-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.940468 | 2,160 | 2.265625 | 2 |
Challenging embedded beliefs can benefit mental and planetary health
I have been campaigning on climate change since I was 14, propelled to act by a seemingly paradoxical twinning of abject terror and a scintillating utopianism built around the kind of future we could create from the ashes of the old order. I got involved in direct actions (including when my friend superglued himself to then-Prime Minister Gordon Brown), community organising and lobbying world leaders at Davos and the United Nations.
Eventually, the terror caught up with me and I felt woefully unable to do what I thought was needed of me to stop the world catching fire. At 19 I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. At 28 I jumped off a building and spent a month in a coma. I am now a double amputee.
I have learnt through my recovery that mental health and climate change are deeply intertwined. Disordered climate = disordered minds. The RSA is championing three ideas that benefit both elements.
The first is basic income. Countless studies from trials on four continents tell us that the economic security a basic income provides is transformative for mental health. Linking basic income to climate change could go one step further, instituting a tax on carbon and redistributing revenue to citizens. This would be a progressive redistribution of wealth (requiring some tweaks to make sure the poor do not lose out) and reduce inequality, poverty and precarity, while giving recipients a desperately needed source of hope that we are actually tackling climate change.
Second, participatory and direct democracy is key for devising and implementing climate solutions, while empowering citizens. In 2020, Climate Assembly UK, commissioned by six House of Commons select committees, generated transformative proposals and boosted participants’ self-reported feelings of agency and wellbeing. Opening routes into the corridors of power can address people’s feelings of powerlessness around the climate crisis. Successful examples include the participatory budgeting system in Porto Alegre, Brazil, where residents vote on a significant portion of local spending, or the UK town of Frome, which has localised its politics and its economy.
Finally, the RSA’s Future of Work Programme is world class. Relevant issues include flexible working patterns (including working from home), reforms to precarious contracts and a four-day-week. A report last year found a four-day-week could reduce the UK’s carbon emissions by about 20%. Such interventions would give people more time, security and autonomy to pursue non-work-related passions, volunteer, and spend time with loved ones. I know from experience that the RSA is working hard on these issues, and could further pursue integrating them into their own working practices. Healthier and more sustainable norms are needed across the policy entrepreneur space as a whole, and the RSA could stand to gain a great deal by pioneering culture shift.
The RSA could also make it easier for members of the public to get involved. There is potential to move beyond sharing information and building networks between Fellows, however laudable, to support people outside the traditional spaces in which third-sector outfits operate. Many want to spread the kinds of ideas the RSA champions in their neighbourhoods, workplaces and organisations. This builds community. This builds purpose. But most importantly, it is how systemic change happens: by wrestling it out of the academy and into the messy fabric of real-world impact.
Charlie Hertzog Young, FRSA, is a researcher and writer focusing on the intersections of climate change, mental health and new economics. He writes for the Ecologist and consults for several organisations, having previously worked for the RSA on basic income.

Weddings and rings seem to be inseparable.
Nearly every culture uses a ring of some sort to signify marriage.
Not that the ring is always placed on the same finger the world over - in some parts of the world rings are placed around ankles or necks instead.
It is a very ancient custom that traces back well before the Romans who themselves used a ring to seal a marriage pact.
The marriage ring in this country is usually placed on the third finger of the left hand. To wear it on any other finger traditionally has a specific meaning, depending on the finger involved. -
First finger of the left hand means “I want to be married”.
Second finger means “I prefer platonic friendship”.
Third finger means “I am engaged or married”.
Little finger means “I never intend to marry”.
The choice of the third finger of the hand is no arbitrary choice.
Ancient philosophers maintained a very delicate nerve ran from this finger, directly to the heart. Later it was thought it was a small vein - the vena ainoris.
The left hand however has only been used in this country since the 16th century. Before then the wedding band was worn on the right.
In some European countries today, the wedding bands are exchanged at the engagement and worn on the right hand and then swapped over to the left hand at the actual wedding.
In these countries too, the engagement is considered almost as binding as the marriage, hence the use of a wedding band. | <urn:uuid:95258341-d6a7-4994-a723-eb5fc8d63411> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.kentonline.co.uk/kent-wedding-day/wedding-planning/with-this-ring-i-thee-116229/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.952046 | 317 | 2.484375 | 2 |
Any project works better if you have a plan. And of course, that includes your ‘project’ to increase your confidence.
I know it’s easy to say something vague like “I want to enjoy parties”, or “I want to make friends”, etc. Unfortunately, these things aren’t specific enough to be of much use.
If you really want success then you have to be SMART.
You could certainly take either of those statements as start points, but you need to expand on them to make them useful.
Ask yourself questions like:
- How do I want to act around people?
- What do I want people to feel when I’m talking to them?
- How will I stand, or sit, or walk, etc.?
- What thoughts will I have about myself?
- What would I like people to say about me?
- When I’m feeling confident, what benefits will I have?
- What benefits will those around me gain when I’m confident? etc.
Image you’re designing a super confident character for a book you’re writing. You need to have their complete personality worked out before you introduce them to the story.
It’s the same in your own life. If you want to increase your confidence, you need to get completely clear on the type of person you want to be, then write down those traits.
Once you’ve got everything listed, check that the personality you want is SMART. So, make sure that the image you have for your future self is..
- Specific – You have a mental picture of exactly how this new you will look, feel and behave.
- Measurable – You’ve isolated each of the traits you’ll have and how you’ll recognize when you have them.
- Achievable – You believe that you have the commitment to achieve this change and the tools/resources to achieve it.
- Relevant – You know that these changes will move you toward your overall ‘mission’ for your life.
- Time-bound – You have a timeline for achieving each of these new traits (the timeline will probably change though 🙂 ).
Once you’ve got this description of your future self, pin it somewhere you’ll see it everyday
Spend some time over the next week or so, clearly defining the person you want to be. You’ll then be ready to start taking some action toward your new self. You could start by using a few tools from NLP.

The Moral Quest: Foundations of Christian Ethics
Title: The Moral Quest: Foundations of Christian Ethics
Publisher: IVP Academic
Christianity Today Book of the Year
What is ethics? Why should Christians care?
Beginning with these basic questions, Stanley Grenz masterfully leads his readers into a theological engagement with moral inquiry. In The Moral Quest he sets forth the basics of ethics, considers the role and methods of Christian ethics in particular, and examines the ethical approaches of the Old Testament, the Gospels and Paul. He introduces the foundational theological ethics of Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and Luther and the Reformers. And he concludes with an evenhanded discussion of modern and contemporary Christian ethicists, including Albert Ritschl, Walter Rauschenbusch, Karl Barth, James Gustafson, Paul Ramsey, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Martin Luther King Jr., Gustavo Gutiérrez, Rosemary Radford Ruether, Stanley Hauerwas, Carl F. H. Henry and Oliver O'Donovan.
Clear, concise, and well apprised of relevant literature, Grenz (a theologian recognized for the excellence of his own theological and ethical work) provides in this book a first-rate introduction to Christian ethics. The Moral Quest will well serve students, pastors and interested laypersons alike. | <urn:uuid:89df03ea-adbb-45f9-b59f-67218725f79e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.olivetree.com/store/product.php?productid=56501&related_source_page=product_php&source=product_php_recommended_33808 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.855782 | 281 | 2.40625 | 2 |
The Yuba-Sutter region has access to many transportation corridors. It is served by state highways 70, 65, 20 and U.S. Highway 99 and is just north of the intersection of two major interstates, I-5 and I-80.
The Yuba-Sutter area is also only 35 miles from the Sacramento International Airport, which provides general passenger and freight traffic. In addition, Yuba County Airport has runways large enough to accommodate jet air carriers, freight carriers, general aviation, business jets and private aircraft while Sutter County Airport accommodates smaller aircraft such as crop dusters and private single-engine aircraft.
Lastly, Union Pacific connects the Yuba-Sutter area to the nation's railway system. The rail system is used primarily to transport agricultural goods and other goods produced in the region. Amtrak serves passenger travel needs. | <urn:uuid:b94917f7-ae5f-443f-83f3-7495c0b9e75d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.ysedc.org/choose-yuba-sutter | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.956744 | 174 | 1.78125 | 2 |

Are you diving into remote teaching and learning? Do you need a thinking partner? One on one support? Need ideas to see remote teaching and learning as opportunities to
- to create learning experiences that allow us to explore new forms of teaching and learning
- to build skills that will support the now literacies (digital citizenship, information literacy, media literacy, network literacy global literacy)
- to build skills that will foster a new sense of community (again not aiming to substitute the same in-person- community we are used to)
- to find learning experiences for us as educators as well as our students that help develop now skills
- to amplify collaboration and embed crowdsourcing
- to communicate with each other beyond space (geography) and time (asynchronously)
- to document FOR Learning in order to support reflection and metacognition and collaboratively learn from this crisis
- to move from consumption of information to creation (remixing, adding value, creating new) of information.
- to foster self- directed and self-motivated learning and working skills
- to foster social-emotional learning
- to practice balance between our analog and digital activities
- to amplify reading and writing to include new forms
- to develop skills that Alan November proposes in his First 5 Days
I have been helping educators and schools around the world preparing for these skills and literacies in teaching and learning remotely for the past 15 years. Let’s chat, if I can support you with ideas, amplify the work you are already doing, if you just need a thinking partner or you would benefit from my experience in the area. | <urn:uuid:b9f3101b-fba4-41e1-9313-68dec905b3d4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.globallyconnectedlearning.com/coaching-consulting/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.961898 | 333 | 2.15625 | 2 |
Sir Mix-a-Lot famously said,
"The 808 makes the girlies get dumb."
For more than three decades now, the sound of the 808 has been the staple of hip-hop . To this day, it is one of the most popular sounds in modern music and probably as important as the Fender Stratocaster is to rock and roll.
So what about the 808 makes it such a sought-after sound, and how can you make some dope-sounding 808s for your tracks?
Come dive in with us as we explore all there is to know about the foundation of hip-hop: The 808.
What Is An 808?
Long before beatmakers started downloading samples from Splice and transferring gigabytes of drum sample packs from one hard drive to the next, there was the Roland TR-808 Drum Machine . This iconic drum machine, which used unique sound-generating hardware, bore several unique drum samples, including the famous 808.
The beauty of the original 808 came from its deep and subby characteristics, which producers could tune to various pitches depending on the track material.
However, the original Roland TR-808 had several sounds beyond the 808, including:
- High Tom
- Mid Tom
- Low Tom
- Closed Hat
- Open Hat
- High Conga
- Mid Conga
- Low Conga
With static noise at its foundation, the 808 was uniquely designed to sound similar to a beater striking a resonant drum head. As a result, the original 808 had a fast, pointy attack and a short decay.
Of course, today's 808s have changed quite drastically.
Roam around Splice, and you'll hear thousands of 808 recreations, many of which have been compressed, distorted, and transient-manipulated.
History of 808s
“The Roland gear began to be a kind of Esperanto in music. The whole world began to be less separated through this technology.”
Graham Massey - 808 State
As we said before, the 808 came from the Roland TR-808 Drum Machine, which came out back in the early 80s. When it first hit the market, it was a commercial failure. Many people saw the TR-808 as a little robot toy that would never make it a "serious" instrument in the studio.
During this time, electronic music hadn't quite broken through. Plus, the Linn LM-1, which had a higher fidelity sound, garnered much more attention. But, of course, many underground producers couldn't stomach the $5,000 price tag for the Linn LM-1 and felt that the $1,200 price tag for the TR-808 was much more justifiable.
Compared to the LM-1, the TR-808 had 16 pre-loaded analog sounds and a more intuitive interface.
During the 80s and 90s, the 808 was mainly used by house and techno producers. However, pioneering hip-hop producers in the 90s also found something quite unique about the 808.
Producers like Afrika Bambaataa and Rick Rubin began using the 808 in early hip-hop, changing the auditory landscape. In fact, Bambaataa was one of the first major hip-hop acts to put the 808 on the map back in 1982 with the release of "Planet Rock."
In 1983, after selling next to 12,000 Roland TR-808 units, Roland discontinued the drum machine. However, in 1984, Roland replaced the unit with the TR-909, which was the very first drum machine to use MIDI.
When samplers and DAWs came about, standalone drum machines began dying out. However, we're now starting to see a resurgence of modern drum machines with new, high-end features that trump the vintage drum machines of the 80s and 90s.
How To Make 808s
Don't have thousands of dollars at your disposal to buy the original drum machine?
You're in luck, as there are millions of 808 samples online. The beauty of modern 808s is that they've been processed for added girth and power.
Let's take a look at how you can make an 808 that works for your production.
1) Find The Right Sample
First things first, you must start with a good sample.
There is no use in wasting your time trying to shape and tune a low-quality 808 sample. Depending on the DAW you're using, there might be some stock 808s to work with.
However, if you want more options, we recommend heading out to Splice and checking out the platform's massive database of 808 samples.
2) Sample & Tune
Because 808s are made with sub oscillators, you can tune them to specific pitches. Tuning your 808 is crucial . It's pretty tricky to get away with an 808 that isn't in the key of your track.
Finding the key of your track is an entirely different lesson that would require a new article, though there are hundreds of resources online to help you determine the key you're in.
Once you know what key your track is in, you can throw your 808 samples in a digital sampler and adjust the tuning up or down.
3) Fit Within the Context of Your Mix
An 808 that sounds great on its own is pretty cool, though if it feels weak or overpowering in the context of a mix, you may have some adjustments to make. Ideally, the fundamental frequency of your 808 should lie somewhere between 30Hz and 60Hz .
You might have a bassline and kick in your mix too, which also occupy that frequency range. If that's the case, you'll need to perform some puzzle-piece EQing to gel everything together.
More often than not, you'll have to EQ some of the low-end out of your bass and kicks for your 808s to fit nicely.
4) Shape Your 808 with ADSR
More often than not, you want your 808 to have a hard-hitting attack. People want 808s to rattle their trunks, not slide gently against their speakers like some kind of electronic cello.
To help your 808 hit, try increasing the attack time. If you have a kick alongside your 808, however, you might decrease the attack time so that the kick has a chance to pop through before your 808 comes in.
It's also a good idea to shape the decay, sustain, and release of your 808 so that it moves in time with your track.
5) Get Funky With The Sound Design
Just like you know you're listening to John Bonham when you hear his booming drums or Jimi Hendrix when you hear a fuzzy Strat riff, there are many producers out there who have shaped their 808s in such a way that they've found a way to stand out from other producers.
From distortion to compression and beyond, there are so many music production techniques you can use to alter the sound of your 808.
Features of 808
The 808 drum machine is packed with several features and sounds, including the bass drum, snares, toms, claves, a cowbell, hi-hats, cymbals, and the almighty handclap.
The "TR" in the TR-808 name stands for transistor rhythm.
This vintage drum machine uses transistors to create a step sequencer, allowing music producers to program up to 32 distinct patterns. With the CR-78 feature, producers can place accents on individual drum sounds.
With numerous audio outputs, DIN sync, and volume knobs, old producers could sync up their TR-808s with other synthesizers and musical equipment.
The Reception of This Iconic Drum Machine
While the TR-808 drum machine might seem legendary to modern hip-hop music producers, it didn't always have that reputation. For many years, it was ignored by the popular music industry and put off as a toy rather than a serious drum machine.
However, this booming bass drum machine became a staple for underground hip-hop and electronic music artists thanks to its affordability.
As more and more underground artists used the Roland TR-808 drum machine, famous artists began taking note. It wouldn't be long until artists like LL Cool J, Whitney Houston, Marvin Gaye, Public Enemy, and Run-DMC would use the TR-808 in their production.
An old-school UK electronic music group by the name of 808 State popularized the Roland TR-808 in early dance music production. It continued to grace music production throughout the new wave era and into the age of acid house and rave culture.
Famous Songs That Use 808s
Listen to many popular songs, and you'll hear lyrical references to the sound of the 808, including songs from Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Outkast, Kelis, and the Beastie Boys.
However, what really helped the 808 achieve mainstream success was its actual use in popular music. Here are some of the most iconic songs that make use of the 808 drum sound.
Sexual Healing - Marvin Gaye
Electronic percussion solidified itself in popular music thanks to Marvin Gaye, who made this ultra-popular hit after he cut ties with Motown back in 1982. Not only did "Sexual Healing" have one of the strongest vocal melodies in his career, but the way that unique coupled 808s with hyperactive guitar parts was something people in the pop music industry had never quite heard before. In many ways, people believe it was Marvin Gaye that started the TR-808 revolution.
I Wanna Dance With Somebody - Whitney Houston
The Roland TR-808 had taken over the industry by the late 80s, and you could hear it on more hits than any other drum machine on the market. One of the best examples of its use was on the opening bar of Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody."
While critics initially tore the track apart, it eventually became Houston's most famous song.
Let The Beat Build - Lil Wayne
The Carter III is arguably one of Lil Wayne's best records, and the fact that he sprinkled the sounds of the TR-808 all over "Let The Beat Build" proved his obsession over the drum machine. If the TR-808 samples weren't enough to make the point, the line, "Heh, c'mon, just a snare and an 808" should give you a clue.
Love Lockdown - Kanye West
808s & Heartbreak was one of Kanye West's most significant hit records, spawning a new point in his music career. Like many tracks on this album, "Love Lockdown" used an iconic 808 beat that is almost instantly recognizable.
Drunk in Love - Beyonce
"Drunk In Love" was an instant classic from the moment people streamed it off her 2013 BEYONCE album. While there is plenty to love about the song, including Jay-Z's "eat the cake" lines and Be's "surfbort," the harsh, heavily-processed 808s push speakers to their limits.
The Difference Between 808 and Kick
While the original "808" term was used to describe the TR-808 machine as a whole, the term is now used to describe the sound of the bass, which is often used in conjunction with a kick drum. It might be confusing for those who grew up in the 80s, where the original TR-808 kick was actually a kick drum, not a bass.
While you can still use the term 808 to describe the hi-hats, snares, or toms on the original machine, you can almost always assume that someone is talking about the sound of the bass when they say 808.
Nowadays, the main difference between a kick drum and an 808 is that the kick drum provides the initial attack for the low-end, while the 808 provides the bass sound that emanates after the initial kick sound. An 808 has a very particular pitch that a music producer can use to create basslines.
808 VST Plugins
Trying to find one of these vintage drum machines can be a challenge, which is why so many producers turn to the digital world to get the sounds they're after. Here are our top three favorite VST plugins for those looking to harness the sound of the 808.
Future Audio Workshop SubLab
One of our absolute favorite 808 VST Plugins is Future Audio Workshop SubLab . The beauty of this VST is that it was made for a single purpose, which is creating 808s. No matter what kind of sub-tone you are looking to create, whether, for hip-hop, dance music, or experimental electronic, SubLab gives you the tools to do with ease.
We like to think of SubLab as a hybrid VST of sorts, using an X-Sub bass synth layer underneath an analog synth. The interface is intuitive, giving producers an oscillator waveform and spectrogram to get better feedback about their samples.
You can easily create MASSIVE sub sounds and 808s using multiple layers and add saturation and compression with the built-in modules to bring your 808s to life.
With 69 included presets, you have plenty of starting points. However, if you choose to make your samples from scratch, it's nice knowing that this is one of the most user-friendly VST plugins on the market.
Niche Audio Planet 808
One of the best ways to speed up your music production is by using 808 kits that have already been processed to fit the vibe of your tracks. Niche Audio Planet 808 comes with 15 vibe-driven 808 drum kits perfect for a wide range of genres. The beauty of these kits is that each has various pitches, allowing you to easily fit them into your production, regardless of the key.
If you use Maschine or Ableton Live, know that the plugin has been carefully sculpted for intuitive digital sampling.
Wave Alchemy Revolution
Many people say that Revolution from Wave Alchemy is one of the most sonically accurate virtual drum machines on the market o today. You'll find several classic drum machines sprinkled into Revolution's interface, including the 909, 78, 606, and OB-DX. However, in our eyes, the TR-808 sounds are where this plugin really stands out.
Wave Alchemy programmed this virtual drum machine with thousands of 808 sounds and samples so that each time you play a note, you get extremely subtle differences. These differences in sound are what make the sound of analog so unique.
Plus, the sounds were recorded into a NEVE 1073 preamp and balanced Radial JDI, allowing the design team to capture the fullest frequency response possible. One of our favorite things about the Wave Alchemy Revolution is that you can mix and match iconic sounds to craft Frankenstein kits. If you're looking to get creative, Revolution can help you do it!
Is 808 a Bass or Kick?
In modern music terminology, when people say 808, they are typically referring to the 808 bass sound. However, the original sound found on the TR-808 was a kick drum, much different than what we hear in modern production.
Who Invented the 808 Beat?
Ikutaro Kahehashi invented the 808 beat along with the Roland Corporation back in 1980, though the way that people utilized the TR-808 drum machine drastically changed over time.
What Are The Effects of 808?
When mixed and tuned properly, the effects of the 808 bass can be extremely powerful. With tons of low-end and hard-hitting attack, a great 808 bass sound can shake club walls and rattle trunk speakers.
What 808 Do Producers Use?
Producers use many different 808 samples in today's music, though most of these samples don't come from the original drum machines. If you're looking to find great 808 samples, we recommend heading to Splice and trying to find sample packs from your favorite producers.
How Loud Should Your 808 Be?
It's often best to keep your 808 at the same level as your kick drum or slightly quieter. Producers often think they need to make their 808s much louder, which can often result in muddy mixes and overwhelming low-end.
Do You Have To Sidechain Kick and 808?
A good rule of thumb is if your kick drum has a very sharp transient, you probably don't need a sharp transient on your 808 bass. One of the best ways to help your kick cut through is by sidechaining it to the 808 so that you 808 drops in level for a split second every time the kick hits.
Should Your 808 Be Mono?
Generally speaking, low-frequency 808 sounds should be in mono. However, if you want to spread your 808 bass, you can make a copy of it, high-pass it, and add delay, reverb, or chorus effects to spread it out while still maintaining the mono low-end.
Should You EQ Your 808 Bass?
It's always important to consider the relationship of your 808 bass to the rest of the tracks in your mix. We often recommend using subtractive EQ, such as a hi-pass filter, if you feel like your 808 is taking up too much room in your mix. If your 808 is having trouble poking through the mix, you can use additive EQ in the 400-800Hz range to give it a bit of grit.
Do Producers Use 808 Samples?
When it comes to modern music production, the sound of the 808 is a staple. From hip-hop to electronic music, it is one of the most iconic sounds around.
Can You Pan 808?
It is often better to keep your 808 sounds in mono, as panning them can result in a skewed stereo image. The same thing goes for your kick drums, bass, and snares. Having a foundation at the center of your track can help it hit much harder. | <urn:uuid:32b19db5-d229-4a79-87a9-cd0975d9a279> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://emastered.com/blog/what-is-an-808 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.953859 | 3,717 | 2.140625 | 2 |

Completing university education is thought by some to the best way to get a good job. On the other hand, other people think that getting a good experience is more important.
Discuss both sides are give your opinion.
At some point in their life, people face the challenge of entering the job market, hoping to find the desired job. However, there is an ongoing debate about what future employers look for, a university degree or hands-on experience. In my opinion, it all depends on the nature of the job one aspires to.
Thinking about various occupations, it becomes clear that certain jobs require a university degree in a relevant subject from an institution. That is because certain professions require highly specialized knowledge that can only be gained through many years of higher education. Examples of such occupations are doctors and engineers. A nurse with ten years of experience will not become a doctor. On the other hand, in some industries, work experience seems more valuable than a degree. When I was working in a bank, some of our managers, who had only secondary education were promoted to top positions because they knew how the department works inside out. They clearly had an advantage over those with a master’s degree who had just joined the bank. For this example, it is obvious that some jobs require extensive knowledge of the business, and in such cases, the employer is likely to favour those with several years of experience over fresh university graduates.
To conclude, it seems that there is no single path to getting a great job. While a university degree is a prerequisite for some jobs, work experience may be more important for others. Researching the typical requirements for the desired job will help one make the right decision. | <urn:uuid:272488e6-0843-4d76-8f2a-88c8176af2e1> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.ieltsladder.com/completing-university-education-is-thought-by-some-to-the-best-way-to-get-a-good-job/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570741.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808001418-20220808031418-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.977612 | 344 | 2.34375 | 2 |
Plans are in hand for a bridge over the Logone River between Cameroon and Chad, an area that has been called "one of west Africa’s foremost deathtraps".
The bridge will be built between the town of Yagoua in the extreme northeast of Cameroon and the town of Bongor in western Chad.
The work is expected to cost around $127m, an immense sum for Chad, which has an annual GDP of $13.5bn. Finance is expected to be led by African Development Bank (AfDB). The AfDB originally wrote a proposal for a 250m, two-lane road bridge into its plans for 2014.
The bridge and the four-lane extensions to the road network that will serve it are expected to improve trade between landlocked Chad and the impoverished northern area of Cameroon, and also to prevent the scores of deaths by drowning suffered by people navigating the Logone in small pirogues.
In September last year, 11 people drowned after a locally made boat carrying people back from a market in Bongor capsized in a storm.
Midjiyawa Bakary, Cameroon’s regional governor, said about 40 people had died in the area in similar circumstances over the two months before that.
Fissou Kouma, The mayor of Yagoua, told CAJ News that more than 500 small boats travelled between Yagoua and Bongor on market days. He said: "The boats almost always capsize especially when weather conditions are not so good. So, on several occasions, we have had to extract corpses from underwater."
Gilbert Didier Edoa, an official in Cameroon’s economics ministry, told CAJ News last year that the two countries hoped to complete the bridge in 2018.
The bridge was first proposed in 2010, during the 22nd Grand Cameroon-Chad joint Commission that took place in Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon, in 2010.
Litasso Makaini Makkadallah, one of the community leaders in Yagoua, said: "This is an arid region. We need the governments of Chad and Cameroon to also construct boreholes, dispensaries and schools as well as carrying out reforestation programmes along the road."

Michael D. Moberly July 13, 2009
Company reputation is defined by the Economists’ Intelligence Unit, Weber Shandwick, and others, as ‘how positively or negatively a business is perceived by the people or entities the company relies on for its success, i.e., customers, investors, regulators, the media, and the wider public’. There’s virtually no argument that reputation is a prized and increasingly valuable intangible asset, but it’s exposure and fragility to a growing mass of asymmetric risks is real, especially if management teams are unfamiliar and/or inexperienced in its stewardship, oversight, management, and monitoring.
In its study, Reputation: Risk of Risks, Economist Intelligence Global Risk Briefing Unit, found that, of 269 senior risk managers interviewed, risk to company reputation represented their chief concern, ahead of other risks such as regulatory, human capital, IT network, market, credit, financing, political, and terrorism risks, etc.
Company reputation has become a dominant and driving source of company value and competitive advantage, which numerous respected sources estimate, among them being Weber Shandwick, 63% of a company’s market value now lies in – evolves from reputation. When that level of company value is directly linked to bundles of intangible assets that collectively comprise ‘reputation’ it clearly suggests that the stewardship, oversight, management, and monitoring of company reputation should not be relegated to I’ll do it when (a.) I have time, (b.) I see my competitors doing it, (c.) my company experiences a reputational crisis, or (d.) regulatory mandates require its valuation and reporting. Rather, ‘reputation management’ should commence immediately and focus on an array of stakeholders which can, and frequently do demand – create attention.
For example, company reputation can decline radidly when a customers’ interaction and/or experience with a company falls short of their expectations. In this regard, those charged with managing, monitoring, and responding to a company’s reputational risks must first bring clarity to three things, (1.) whose interaction/experience, (2.) what experience, and (3.) which expectations. Clarity on these matters, will lead to more timely, effective, and responsive strategies to address company reputational risks particularly in terms of resolving and mitigating!
While protecting/safeguarding a company’s reputation is an increasingly critical fiduciary function, it is also one of the more challenging insofar as, (a.) designing effective practices for constant (reputation) monitoring and measurement, and (2.) proactively, rapidly, and correctly responding to reputation hemorrhaging events. In large part, those challenges are products of the asymmetric nature of risks today which collectively exacerbate reputational risk, i.e., (a.) the 24/7 global media, social networking and communication channels and blogging, (b.) increased scrutiny from global regulatory bodies, and (c.) increasingly transferrable customer loyalty. | <urn:uuid:db84c133-a599-4b77-aaf5-50d065c35178> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://kpstrat.com/2009/07/13/reputation-risks-require-stewardship-oversight-management-and-monitoring/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.941931 | 628 | 1.765625 | 2 |
Would you believe it if you were told that just 2 hours from Athens, you and at least 100 other people can enjoy swimming at the same time, without feeling the sun at all and without languishing in the heat? Of course not. But in vain.
And yet a similar beach exists and even bears the name of a famous late actor. We are referring to the Karakatsani beach located north of Astros Kynourias (Arcadia). To the left of this beach is a huge cave, which has a beach with the purest soft sand. It is large enough to accommodate enough visitors.
It is truly a miracle of nature. Divine coolness reigns inside the cave, and only a few steps to the sea. 2 hours from Athens, without sunscreenthis natural conditioner will cool you down from the heat and bring joyful moments of great relaxation. | <urn:uuid:90c85460-1c0e-4de4-881b-9c5ad542aeed> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://en.rua.gr/2022/08/01/beach-in-greece-where-you-dont-need-sunscreen/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.958426 | 179 | 1.539063 | 2 |

Architecture is monstruous in the way each choice leads to the reduction of possibility. It implies a regime of either/or decisions often claustrophobic, even for the architect.
The notion of the Museum seems at the brink of a quantum leap. The very success of the museum as an institution - a pivtal center of contemporary society - threatens to engulf its prime function: the organised contemplation of art. A new conceptual framework must incorporate the additional roles and expectations that the museum has recently acquired.
Educational, media-related and production sections of the museum sponsor a variety of equivalent experiences from video to research to public programs and performances that are centered around the art without necessarily involving a direct confrontation with the art object. | <urn:uuid:e6e2f392-0859-430e-a783-bf37bc8034d4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://oma.com/projects/moma-charette | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.943717 | 153 | 1.625 | 2 |
Silk Hope, NC – This Spring marks the Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival of Music and Dance’s kindest gift to the earth yet. The festival, held April 17-20, is put on by the non-profit Shakori Hills, Inc., whose mission is to preserve and enhance the Shakori Hills Farmstead in order to provide a place for community building through arts and education in Chatham County, NC and beyond. This spring, the festival will be offering a variety of ways to learn how to be earth-friendly. In a world that is finally starting to notice the importance of conservation, recycling, and environmental education, Shakori Hills is one of the local organizations leading the way to a healthier earth.
This spring, for the first time, all festival vendors will be providing compostable materials with which to eat including utensils, plates, and cups. They are doing this with the help of some friends. Brooks Contracting will be hauling all of the compost to their industrial composting facility in Goldston, NC.
Festival organizer Jordan Puryear commented, “We are encouraging all festival-goers to do their best at helping in our efforts to reduce trash at the festival and to help keep Shakori Hills beautiful!”
The festival has always recycled bottles, cans, and other containers and will continue to do so. Through this effort to protect the environment of the festival grounds, Shakori Hills hopes to encourage attendees to do the same as they return to their everyday lives.
The Shakori Hills spring festival often coincides with the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association’s Piedmont Farm Tour (www.carolinafarmstewards.org). This year, area residents can make it an extra special weekend by attending both events. Day tickets for the festival are buy-one-get-one-free with the possession of a Farm Tour button.
Back by popular demand, the Sustainability Fair will serve as the festival’s center for environmental education. Centrally located near the food vendors, the Sustainability Pavilion, built by festival volunteers as a live example of sustainable living techniques, will host multiple forums and demonstrations throughout the weekend. Here is a brief description of events:
Friday, 1pm – Central Carolina Community College’s Green Building Program will be hosting an interactive forum discussing green building technology. Discussion will involve the use of renewable resources and materials in building design and renovation.
Saturday 1pm – Regional Capacity- Maintaining Natural Resources as Natural Assets for a Sustainable Future. Pierre Lauffer will be conducting a group discussion on maintaining regional natural resource capacity in face of community growth and development. Pierre is seeking to help change the way regions and communities develop and the way people see resource usage within the communal context.
Saturday, 2:30pm – Sustainability and ecology as spiritual practice of love and reverence. Leif Diamant will facilitate this exploration through conversation on how living in harmony with nature cultivates wisdom, compassion, and happiness in all of us.
This season’s exhibits in the Sustainability Pavilion will cover:
Agriculture. With friends from Chatham Marketplace, dedicated to strengthening the health and well-being of their owners and their community and Carolina Farm Stewardship Association whose mission is to support and expand local and organic agriculture in the Carolinas by inspiring, educating and organizing farmers and consumers.
Education. With friends from Central Carolina Community College, Pittsboro Campus, home of the bio-fuels program, sustainable agriculture curriculum and a new green building program as well as The Haw River Assembly, a non-profit citizens’ group founded in 1982 to restore and protect the Haw River and Jordan Lake.
Energy. With friends from Honey Electric Solar which specializes in sales and installations of solar systems – thermal & electric – in North Carolina and Piedmont Biofuels Coop who will do a “cooking show” (mason jar bio-diesel demo and question-and-answer session).
Sustainable Lifestyle. With friends from The Abundance Foundation which turns renewable energy and sustainable concepts such as waste reduction and lowering emissions into reality and The Green Building Council of the Home Builders Association who are incorporating green features and techniques into traditional subdivision homes that represent a wide range of styles and prices.
The program for the Sustainability Fair offers these words, “As the many facets of ‘sustainability’ come into focus – be it organic agriculture, Bio-fuels, Solar, wind power, etc. – we see there is a link and common thread uniting to create a movement. It all starts with an awakening realization that the Earth and its resources are not at all infinite but very clearly are finite, limited and possibly near exhaustion. The key to sustainability is to live in harmony with nature, to use our creativity wisely and to share in the abundance of our home, the planet Earth.”
Education is one of the many facets of the Shakori Hills Festival of Music and Dance, but there are many more. There are continuous children’s activities, spectacular gourmet food vendors, local artisan crafts, healing arts opportunities, and of course, music and dance! Featured performers are Arrested Development, Richie Havens, Donna the Buffalo, Justin Townes Earle, Chatham County Line, Big Fat Gap, Keith Frank and the Soileau Zydeco Band, Tres Chicas, and The Hackensaw Boys. See full musical schedule and all details at www.shakorihills.org.

Watch this picture-perfect video on how camera film works
It seems like magic, but it's actually hard science.
This story originally featured on Popular Photography.
It’s easy to talk about film as if it’s magic. Many analog shooters will talk at length about how the medium itself gives photography an intangible sense of curiosity and wonder. I’m guilty of it myself. But, in reality, film is the product of hard science. Producing film requires meticulous math and specific chemistry applied on a massive scale. It’s a truly impressive scientific feat. While many photographers could easily pick up and shoot a roll of film, understanding how it actually works is another story. This 24-minute video from YouTube channel Smarter Every Day does an excellent job diving into the chemical mechanisms that go into capturing photos.
Understanding the basics
Film, as we know it, relies on light-sensitive silver suspended in an emulsion made with gelatin. Light hits that silver to create a latent image, which emerges when it crystallized during the development process. The silver stays in the negative when you shoot black-and-white film, which has always seemed very cool to me. It makes black-and-white film harder to scan because infrared sensors can’t penetrate the metal for automatic dust removal. But, each black-and-white negative is, in a way, a very tiny silver sculpture of the scene you saw in front of you. Color developers use bleach to wash the silver off of the film and the color itself comes from dyes instead.
You don’t have to understand all the chemical processes behind shooting film in order to enjoy loading up a roll and heading out with your camera. That background knowledge can come in handy, though. For instance, it explains why it’s hard to overexpose color film. When adding more light just makes the negative denser, you have more flexibility. You can overshoot negative film by several stops and still get a usable image.
Once you have a grasp on how typical film works, it’s easy to fall down the rabbit hole of alternative photographic processes. Some photographers are still doing awesome things with old-school photography techniques like wet plates. If you’re looking for something with a lower barrier to entry (and fewer super-poisonous chemicals involved), you can try shooting direct positive images on photographic paper.
Film is very hip right now, but the process of making, shooting, and processing it remains wonderfully nerdy. Check out our tour of the Kodak film factory for an inside look on how it gets made. Or, peruse this list of films you should go and shoot before they go away. We’ve already lost a few good film stocks this year, so now is the time to get your film fix before more great options go off the market. | <urn:uuid:4bb0eaf8-053e-4063-90ad-4622c413170a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.popsci.com/technology/how-camera-film-works/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570741.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808001418-20220808031418-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.933379 | 592 | 3.5625 | 4 |
TAMPA – Historically African-American churches have been the place to engage voters from communities of color.
What You Need To Know
- African-American churches can be a place to engage communities of color
- Equal Ground is working to get voters registered at local churches
- Leaders say that registration is important due to changes in voting laws
This election cycle, the non-partisan group called Equal Ground hopes to tap into that to build black political engagement throughout the state of Florida.
Every Sunday, service at the Allen Temple A.M.E. church in Tampa contains song, praise, prayer and social activism.
Sitting in one church pew is Justin Jones, a deputy field manager for Equal Ground. Jones is here to register new voters.
“When it comes to voting, we’re talking about City Council, Mayor, Governor, all these people have a direct impact over our everyday lives so we want to make sure people are participating and make sure they get out to vote.” said Jones.
He says this is a key election cycle for the African community. Especially after Governor Desantis signed a bill affecting voter registration vote by mail ballots and drop off boxes.
“We want To make sure our community Is aware of changes to voting laws and make sure they vote ahead of time,” he said.
Janette Spencer-Davis has been a member of Allen Temple A.M.E. for 30 years, and she encourages others to be politically active and aware. She says the new redistricting maps could affect candidates and voters.
“The thing with redistricting, people may not know where their polling place is. We need to be informed voters,” said Spencer-Davis.
Engaging new voters isn’t just happening inside church walls. Equal ground plans to canvas key African-American neighborhoods throughout the state of Florida until elections in November. | <urn:uuid:68654c01-a53c-4969-8c25-b1b48f0351ce> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.akh99.com/2022/08/01/how-african-american-churches-will-be-key-during-election-cycle/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.954404 | 390 | 2.328125 | 2 |

In August 2020, the California legislature passed AB 3070. Beginning in 2022, objections to peremptory challenges in criminal cases will have more teeth, including a list of presumptively invalid reasons for striking a prospective juror and a new standard of review for appellate review of a trial court’s decision. While AB 3070 does not apply officially to civil jury trials until 2026, the significant overhaul in procedure effectuated by this new law is likely to influence a court’s analysis of the civil jury selection process before that time.
In 2017, Senate Bill No. 658 amended Section 222.5 of the California Code of Civil Procedure (The Trial Jury Selection and Management Act). A trial judge may not impose specific unreasonable or arbitrary time limits on, or establish an inflexible time limit policy for, voir dire. Judges must determine the reasonable time allotted for voir dire on a case-by-case basis taking into account a number of factors, and make adjustments as needed. Reasonable time must be provided to evaluate juror questionnaires.
California released a new official juror orientation video on May 4, 2022. Entitled Justice for All: Orientation to Jury Service. this juror orientation video describes the juror experience, from arrival at the courthouse through jury selection, trial, deliberations and verdict.

I bet you have pretty good idea about how Steve Jobs gave this world its most famous success Mantra ,
“Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish ” Steve Jobs, Stanford University, 2005
Steve Jobs was a genius, a true diamond as far as the world of technology is concerned. The guy literally made the worlds highest valued company, the Apple .
If we go by the address delivered by our very own Steve, it says, you have to stay hungry. Well, not literally. You can eat if you want, but what exactly he meant was way too different than it was explained in the media.
A giant like Apple is not built overnight. It takes blood and sweat to make something as great as Apple Inc. Was Steve made this company the biggest of all times? Was he the single person who saw this dream to make something great? Well, clearly the answer is No! Apple was not actually built by Steve Jobs alone, but if it was not for Steve, there would be no Apple.
Steve Jobs was a complicated personality. People say that when he was sick with his cancer disease, and was suggested by doctors for an immediate surgery, he skipped it because he believed that alternate medicines will just do the trick. Of course he was wrong and after a while he even regretted the decision to delay his cancer surgery to his Biographer, but this thing tells us a lot about Steve Jobs as a dedicated person. He took the risk on the behalf of what he believed. He failed and the cost was his life, but as a person who believed in his dreams and understanding, Jobs still won!
Steve Jobs was a kind of person who believed in things and made them happen. I am sure that the last risk and trust he put on his life by delaying the cancer surgery was sure a failure, but how many success stories he wrote with his ” Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish” Attitude? Do we know about them? Of course not! We just see Apple as the worlds biggest company, but we dont see the craziness that goes behind making it what it is today.
Steve Jobs stayed hungry, like literally!
A famous story about Steve is how he changed his diet and eating habits for his own beliefs. Once he shifted to fruits only diet, then one time it was all carrot diet, he drank a lot of carrot juices and what not. This is not because he was doing some experiment on his body, but because he believed on his idea of understanding. He was so sure about his understanding of human body , that he tried to make it work on his own body for his own betterment . Like seriously, he did choose his diet according to his own understanding of the topic and he stood by it. He didnt trust the medical journals or other things, he just trusted his own understanding.
This exactly is what Steve Jobs meant when he said ” Stay Hungry , Stay Foolish” . People say that when he delivered this speech, he was intentionally keeping himself hungry for some sort of diet beliefs. Thats another thing, but what we get from his address was, he taught the kids to fully dedicate themselves for what they believe.
If you trust yourself way too much, you may end up failing. But what if you are so dedicated that you dont fail, but fly? Thats how Steve made the Apple. Steve here , represents the tiny fraction of the society that trust itself and make wonders happen. Steve wanted the boys to be hungry for their idea and foolish enough to take the chance. The chance of failure, the chance that could result in blunders, but he taught us to take chances. The risk makes a man worthy.
Take the risk boys! :D | <urn:uuid:90f169ca-a451-4cff-ab0f-52febf9ec598> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://berozgarbtech.com/this-is-what-steve-jobs-meant-by-stay-hungry-stay-foolish/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.988358 | 755 | 2.125 | 2 |
Career Smart Insights
- When starting a career, it is important to learn about the desired role, absorb any knowledge surrounding that role, engage with people in that role by networking and grow within that role by being a life-long learner.
- It’s also important to get involved in career path professionally, like a society.
- The biggest step a person can take to finding a fulfilling career is to just say yes to as many opportunities as possible to discover a driving passion and purpose.
There are four keys to taking ownership of your career, which can help people reach their professional goals and get them into a role that they can thrive in. I think that I’ve always had the support of my managers and corporate leadership to chase the career path that I’m passionate about. Learning, absorbing, engaging and growing have been immensely impactful.
- Learn: Learn everything about the role desired. Who is in that role now? What did they do to get there? What goes into being successful in that role? What knowledge should I have to be a leader in that role? Learning all there is to know about a role and its requirements is an important first step. It’s the one I took when I was looking for my first job out of college and continue to do today.
- Absorb: Take in all the knowledge from those around who have been in that role. Take courses and trainings, attend lunch-and-learns, ask questions, volunteer to take things on and attend conferences. Soon, opportunities not previously considered will present themselves, and with newly-gained knowledge, there is a better understanding of that role. While starting a career, just say yes to things. People will begin to see you as a go-to person for help.
- Engage: Being an active member of professional organizations is key to taking ownership of a career. I got engaged early on with the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and have held numerous leadership positions with our local chapter, including my current role as president. Being involved in ASHRAE has probably been the most beneficial thing I’ve done in my career and has led to so many open doors that I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to walk through if it weren’t for my willingness to engage. Networking and putting yourself out there early on will set you apart from your peers.
- Grow: Looking for ways to grow my career and myself has continued to help me succeed at Dewberry. I took the professional engineering exam as soon as I was able, which for me was shortly after I graduated. I still have plenty of room and many years of growth ahead of me and will continue to grow and learn through my career. I have plans to get a variety of certifications focused on energy management and sustainability that will continue to help me grow in the field I’m most passionate about.
Professional and community involvement
While I’ve intentionally sought out some of my professional involvement, like ASHRAE, I’ve been fortunate enough to be presented with other opportunities. Last year, I was appointed by Governor Roy Cooper to the North Carolina Building Code Council, where I help develop updates for the state building codes, including the energy and mechanical code. While I love contributing to the technical side of the industry in addition to my day-to-day role, I also love being a part of encouraging and inspiring the next generation of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) professionals, particular young women. Earlier this year, a colleague asked if I’d present to his daughter’s Girl Scout troop about my job, and I couldn’t have been happier to share my experiences with them. The troop had tons of questions and was so engaged with the presentation. It’s important for girls at a young age to see someone they can relate to in a STEM field and encourage them to stay engaged with math and science.
My advice to young professionals
My advice to any young professional, whether they’re a middle school student interested in a career in engineering, or they’ve just graduated and are about to start their first full-time job, is to find a gap and fill it. Say yes to opportunities that present themselves. While I’ve known for a long time that sustainability is my passion, I’ve found so many other things I’m passionate about just by stepping into a role that needed to be filled.

THE AMAZING RACE
The Amazing Race is a multi-activity team-based competition based on the popular BBC television series of the same name.
Your group will be arranged into teams of 4-5 people each, who will compete with each other in a series of mental and physical challenges, all the while racing against time. This is a great social activity, and anyone can participate as no special skill, athletic ability or experience is required. Unlike the original Amazing Race, no-one is eliminated from this event.
The Amazing Race is also an outstanding team-building event, as teams will need to communicate well and work together to get through the Race.
A standard Race generally includes 3-4 physical events (such as mini clown-bike races, abseiling, kayak races, laser tag, or similar) as well as a range of mental challenges, including a scavenger hunt, photography challenge, general knowledge quiz, ‘extreme ironing’ challenge, local history quiz, and much more. | <urn:uuid:2f391df0-aa15-4fe1-b798-2577450e91c2> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.aardvarkadventures.com.au/amazing-race | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.952242 | 208 | 2.109375 | 2 |
The Secret of Success
When Charlie was growing up his father always told him, “You have to push yourself. Stay positive and work on your weaknesses so you can excel.” Charlie wanted to please his father so he tried to be the best at everything by staying positive and working hard.
Sometimes Charlie was happy because he reached his goals, but most of the time he was just frustrated. It wasn’t until much later in life that he learned the secret of success—and it had nothing to do with working on his weaknesses or staying positive about things he wasn’t created to do.
The late, great ZigZiglar said:
“I can’t stand to hear some gung-ho individual say that with positive thinking you can just do ‘anything.’ If you think about that one for a moment, you recognize the absurdity of it. As a ridiculous example, I’m a positive thinker, but I could never slam-dunk a basketball or perform major surgery–or even minor surgery–on anyone and expect that person to survive. Nate Newton, the 300-plus pound lineman for the Dallas Cowboys, is positive, optimistic and outgoing but he’d be a complete failure as a jockey or a ballet dancer.”
So since it’s true that trying harder and staying positive isn’t always a guarantee for success, what is?
The Secret of Success
Here’s the secret of success: God created you to be pulled through life. He designed you to be pulled by something so compelling that you would feel an empty space inside you if you didn’t follow. This doesn’t mean that everything will come easy, but it does mean that you should be motivated by your natural skills, gifts, and talents and the passion that comes with them.
When an NBA star steps on the court, he works to win. He sweats and he runs hard, but he loves the game. And, he’s not always frustrated because it’s what God has created him to do. The same goes for you. God wants to pull you through life toward His purpose for you through your passions. Your passions will energize you to do great things for God.
Don’t Waste Your Life
Don’t waste the precious and finite minutes of your life by spending time pursuing the things that don’t maximize how God created you. Don’t try to stay positive or work harder on those tasks that God clearly hasn’t called you to. If you do, you won’t bring Him the greatest glory possible. Not only that, but you will miss out on blessing others. Remember, you will never be a more authentic version of yourself than when you are doing what God created you to do.
Let me challenge you: If you have been making excuses about why you can’t accomplish your purpose and follow your passions, I challenge you to think differently. When God created the bluebird and gave it wings, it didn’t sit around, complain and say, “I can’t fly because the wind is too strong, my wings are too small, and my friends don’t want me to fly.” No, he flew because that is what he was created to do naturally. Granted, you may not be able to use all of your talents, skills, and passions in the time frame that you choose or in the capacity that you desire. However, God did create you to use them.
Don’t make excuses about why you can’t. Instead, be the best version of yourself that you can for God by allowing him to pull you toward your purpose through your passions. | <urn:uuid:4bd5f05f-48b3-40dd-baa6-f82caf6f7f0d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.idisciple.org/post/the-secret-of-success | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.965585 | 777 | 1.609375 | 2 |
Avoiding bone fractures with osteoporosis
Osteoporosis continuously reduces the bone density. Therefore, the bones inevitably will become thinner and porous. Consequence: Patients suffer from bone fractures more often than others due to the so called “structural deterioration”. For patients with osteoporosis even a harmless strain or coughing attack may lead to a bone fracture. Bones that most commonly break:
- Thigh bone, mainly close to the hip joint
- Upper- and lower arm bone
- Pelvic bone, hip
- Sacral bone
- Rib bone
- Sternum, Breast bone
Patients who already experienced a fracture have an increased risk of a subsequent bone fracture: For women the risk nearly doubles, for men it increases with the factor of 3.5. This has been reported in a study performed by the University of Sydney and the Prof Jacqueline Center in 2007. The first year after fracture is the most dangerous one. A subsequent fracture can happen with ease – even the slightest of strains may be too much for the weakened bone structure.
Applying therapies correctly
Patients should definitely stick to their recommended therapies and preventative measures. It is important to understand and adhere to the individual measures, tips and details given by the physician in charge. Even with osteoporosis, patients can still stick to their daily habits and regular activities with limited restrictions.
No need to hide in anxiety
There is no need to only stay at home. On the one hand, it might be the home of some tripping hazards. Those are easily removed and can reduce the risk of falling, therefore limiting possible subsequent bone fractures. On the other hand, social contacts and being able to talk about osteoporosis can have a positive therapeutic impact.
Having some sort of distraction and being in motion can be helpful. Meet up with friends and family and go for a walk. You will breathe fresh air, catch some sunshine and your body can produce some vitamin D. There is no need to become an athlete, but moderate walks can already have a positive impact on strengthening your bones. You should wear sturdy shoes and comfortable clothes. Better choose plain roads without pitfalls. No matter how beautiful a walk in the woods can be, seemingly invisible sticks and stones have already brought down the most practised hiker. Ever tried walking around the sea or park with friends or family on solid and neat streets? Have a go! It is fantastic.
As much calcium as necessary – as little smoking as possible
The Australian also reported that the intake of calcium can reduce the risk of subsequent bone fractures. Calcium strengthens bones. A balanced and wholesome diet is necessary to ensure that the body has enough calcium and vitamins. Adults need about 1,000 milligrams daily. If necessary, you can also take calcium tablets that are not too highly dosed (500 milligrams per day) as a supplement. Furthermore, the study reports: smoking increases the risk of bone fractures. If you already smoke, try to reduce it or try to quit completely – no matter how hard it can be. Your bones will appreciate it.

An brief article (primer) on pond and lake ecology as it relates to eutrophication. Eutrophication is the aging process of ponds and lakes with respect to incoming loadings of nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen) and sediments.
This handbook was developed using existing reference material on lake and watershed best management practices (BMPs). It includes introductory materials on ecosystem dynamics and lake and watershed management to provide readers with a basic understanding for the selection and proper implementation of the BMPs outlined in the handbook. The handbook provides a comprehensive list of available and proven BMPs for two basic categories: in-lake management and watershed management. Each BMP is thoroughly explained and illustrated, providing information on function, applicability, design criteria, maintenance recommendations, and respective costs or cost ranges. A reference list is also included in each section to provide handbook users with sources for supplemental information. Appendices include a glossary of terms, a list of useful conversions, and a list of Internet links to state and federal agencies and other reference websites for organizations that are involved in lake and watershed management .
Ed Molesky, President of Aqua Link, was the author of many chapters and sections of the PA Lake Management Handbook. Some of these chapters and sections that Mr. Molesky wrote were Lake Aeration, Algae & Aquatic Plant Management and Agricultural Best Management Practices.
This study report provides lake data before and after installing a Hydro Logic AirLift lake aeration system. Aqua Link installed this lake aeration system and lake aeration shows how lake water quality can significantly improve lake water quality. | <urn:uuid:c89a8440-6a34-4c4b-81a1-a18bcbec5d97> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://aqualinkinc.com/publications-%26-studies | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570913.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809064307-20220809094307-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.919653 | 332 | 3.0625 | 3 |
