The art history major examines both the creative expressions of individual artists and the cultures that supported them. Faculty expertise includes African, Asian, American, or European with subthemes ranging from Renaissance patronage to curatorial studies to critical theory.
In addition, students enrolled in the degree program will have a wellspring of forms, symbols and ideas to stimulate their own creative endeavors. The program provides a strong foundation for the successful pursuit of advanced degrees and other opportunities in the field, including teaching, research, publishing and curating.
All courses in art history are supported by easy access to institutions such as the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Akron Art Museum, the Toledo Museum of Art, the Carnegie Museum of Art, and the Detroit Institute of Arts. Additionally, visiting professionals provide insight into the most current research being done in the field.
The Bachelor of Arts in art history provides majors with a substantive understanding of significant achievements in the history of art. It also investigates the tools, methods and concepts that spurred the development of art forms and movements. The degree prepares undergraduates for further study in art history and related fields such as museum studies, library science, and cultural studies. The minor in art history comprises 18 credits, including three survey courses, plus an additional 9 credits in upper-division art history courses. More information is available on the Minors page.
The Master of Arts degree in Art History offers a range of perspectives on art, theory, and cultural production across historical periods, geographic regions, and significant movements. When specializing in one area for the thesis, students may choose to focus on periods and genres related to faculty research and expertise. In addition to the eight full-time faculty, visiting professors from departments in cognate fields and from other institutions are invited to present a variety of courses as special topic offerings. Applicants to the graduate program should have a strong undergraduate record with evidence of course work in art history and reading knowledge of at least one language other than English. Experience and demonstrated ability in research and writing are essential.

Records, reports, statements, or data compilations, in any form, of public offices or agencies, setting forth…matters observed pursuant to duty imposed by law as to which matters there was a duty to report, excluding, however, in criminal cases matters observed by police officers and other law enforcement personnel.
In other words, police reports are not admissible in criminal cases. But why? That was the question addressed by Judge Posner in his recent opinion in United States v. Hatfield, 2010 WL 114930 (7th Cir. 2010), although his analysis was irrelevant to his conclusion.
That left the Seventh Circuit with the question of why police reports are inadmissible in criminal cases. The court noted that
“The apparent concern of the drafters [of the exception in Rule 803(8)(B)] was that use of records in criminal cases would cause ‘almost certain collision with confrontation rights.’"…And during floor debates on the rule, "concern was expressed that [without the exception, Rule 803(8)] would allow the introduction against the accused of a police officer’s report without producing the officer as a witness subject to cross-examination."
If this were the only concern, the prosecution might not have faced a problem on remand because
[t]he police officer who had signed the criminal complaint in that case testified at the trial of the present case about the proceedings in that other case, including the allegations in the complaint that he had drafted. So he was available for cross-examination.
The problem for the prosecution, though, was that this was not the only concern. Instead,
there is more to the exception than a concern with unavailability of cross-examination. There is also a concern that reports by law enforcers are less reliable than reports by other public officials because of law enforcers’ adversary relation to a defendant against whom the records are sought to be used.
How nice of Judge Posner to remind us that police reports can in fact be biased because of a conflict of interest. Thanks to Prof. Colin Miller for this. | <urn:uuid:c1bd12bd-ad42-47e1-8930-5c8f6265689b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.court-martial-ucmj.com/police-reports-are-not-evidence/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572021.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814083156-20220814113156-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.977901 | 436 | 1.898438 | 2 |
I don’t know about your class, but in my class at this time of the year the honeymoon is over. The kids are making themselves at home in our classroom and they are warmed up to me quite well!
They know our short list of rules.
They know what is right.
They know what is wrong.
And the kids who test me are testing me daily!
I want to share something so simple that I use to as positive behavior reinforcement.
My fabulous mentor teacher taught me to create something called “The Happy Picture”.
It’s SUPER simple and works like a charm!
Usually I will reward the students with a sticker if their name is in the Happy Picture at the end of the day. As the year goes on, I let the students pass out the stickers in the morning. They love being responsible for this little task and it helps them learn to read each other’s names, too!

During its maiden voyage, on the night of the 14th to 15th of April, 1912, on the Southampton-Cherbourg-Queenstown-New York route, the British Trans-American R.M.S Titanic ocean liner collided with an iceberg and sank. To this day the accident is one of the most famous maritime disasters of all time and still evokes strong emotions even now. The Titanic carried about 2,228 people during the ill-fated voyage. It was 268.99 meters long and 29.41 meters wide. It was a marvel of early 20th century technology.
The ship’s brick model consists of 960 COBI building blocks. When built, it is 64cm long and 19.5cm high. Numerous details create the scale of 1:450 and faithfully reproduce the shape and body of the legendary original. The set contains several moving elements. You can move the cranes, screws and the rudders. The COBI EXECUTIVE EDITION includes a black brick base for the ship’s display stand and a white plaque printed with the ship’s name and scale. The manual uses a system of simple icons and pictograms, which will easily guide you through the construction process. The Titanic brick model does not require gluing or painting. All graphics and inscriptions are printed in the form of very durable prints that do not smear, scratch or fade under the influence of sun, water or even very intense fun. No stickers were used in the model. The kit is suggested to persons over 8 years of age. It will certainly bring a lot of satisfaction to both the youngest fans of bricks as well as adult enthusiasts of history and nautical engineering. The R.M.S Titanic model is sure to look spectacular both on the collector’s desk and in every teenager’s room.

If learning were the sole objective of schooling, it would make good, common sense to teach to the needs, requirements, experience, and interests of each and every student. That is the most effective way to teach outside of school so why wouldn’t it be the most effective way to teach in?
However, formal education has many other social functions, including certification (i.e. official verification that a prescribed body of knowledge has been mastered in a prescribed way as judged by experts/teachers/professors who have themselves been certified by the same process). Changing the focus from the certification to the learning, from what the teacher knows to how the student (and the teacher) learns unsettles some of the deepest assumptions about education, hierarchy apprenticeship, society, authority, power, knowledge, discipline, and authority. No wonder change is so difficult!
If you are committed to turning your traditional classroom into a student-centered space, you are working against at least five obstacles:
2-the regulatory system of education, kindergarten to professional school;
5-everyone else in society (pundits, legislators, technocrats, every know-it-all-who-has-ever-been-to-school-and-who-is-sure-that-qualifies-him/her-as-an-expert).
The only one of those five over which you have control is the first: you. So let’s start there. (Don’t worry. We’ll be dealing with the other four later in this series. . . .)
So that’s where we need to put our own energies first. On our selves. The prof. You. Me. Moi. The teacher. The expert. You spent a long time getting to the front of the class. The big question: What’s in it for you to give up that power?
So much! Really. There is so much to gain. Unless you enjoy hanging out with other middle-aged (or middle-aged- acting) adults who like to spend their time complaining about “the younger generation” (as if that were a novel complaint in the course of human history . . .), the great thing about student-centered learning is that it pretty much changes your alignment. You become allied with instead of arrayed against your students. Instead of a narrow-minded focus where they--students-- are the enemy, the colonial subjects, the unruly people who must be subjugated, disciplined, tamed, shamed, humiliated, or otherwise taught a lesson (what a metaphor!), with student-centered learning, you become--in the phrase I associate with Howard Rheingold (I’m not sure if he coined it or just used it with panache): co-learners.
If my choice is between being stodgy Ichabod Crane, the disciplinarian, or being an active, engaged, and activist co-learner, I will take the co-learner role every time. It’s a lot more fun.
Yes, I know there's a lot of space in the middle... but our whole society has tipped so much in the direction of outcomes, accountability, standards, summative testing, and other metrics that it is really time for a bit of rabble-rousing in the other direction. Please John Dewey, Maria Montessori, Lev Vygotsky, et al, rise from your graves: we need you again to inspire us again with some progressive principles. Taylorite education has won, even in our era of interactive DIY learning.
Also I confess, although I believe whole-heartedly in student-centered learning, it's hard to practice what I preach. I lapse all the time. I don't know anyone who doesn't. It is hard--for all of us--to break old habits.
So, before we can even begin to get rid of Ichabod Crane, we need to do a lot of exorcism of our own training, thinking, reflexes, habits, and comfort levels.
Here's the good news: you don't have to be perfect, and, the great thing about co-learning is you can tell your students up front that you are using the experimental method and they are part of the learning experiment. They will come up with great ideas if you let yourself let them.
Here is my rule of thumb in pushing myself out of the expert role and into the co-learner role: I like to ask myself how much or how little I can stand in their way. It's a choice, and I survey what the options are. Then, I ask how much can I build a platform or an opportunity or a method or a system or a community or a network upon which students (collectively) can together do far much more than I ever dreamed possible.
This doesn’t mean I do less work. What it means is that I do a different kind of work.
Here are some practical steps that have worked for me:
(1) Less prof, more teamwork. More trusting in others. More uncertainty about outcomes. More introspection. All of this means that I find myself now paying more attention to method and process. More awareness that content is far less important (and is retained less) than experience, practice, theory put into use, and on and on.
Imagine if medical school were only sitting in lectures and taking multiple choice exams, not being an intern, then a resident? A lot of what I do in my classrooms borrows from the classic “See one. Do one. Teach one” model of surgical training but adds a fourth one: “Share One” since I believe student-centered learning is also about public contributions to knowledge, believing in the value of learning enough to share it with others beyond one’s self.
(2) Making the class public takes the spotlight off me, the prof, at the front of the room, and redirects energy outward, beyond the class and into the world. I no longer have students do work that only I, as a teacher, will see. That’s another way of getting over myself. I am not the first, last, or only audience of my student’s work. Any more than I, as a supervisor of a new surgeon, would be the first, last, or only audience of that surgeon’s work: the patient is. In my classrooms, there has to always be the equivalent of a patient. That is why I insist upon building an online community, on having my students talk to one another on line, why they become editors of one another’s published works, why they--not me--set the standards.
We’ll be looking at each of these things in this series. But none of them work, none of them count, unless I can get out of the way, unless I understand that I am in the way.
(3) Delegate and share authority with the students in the class. Here is an example. To my knowledge, I have not had one plagiarized paper in the decade or more since I’ve been offering a student-centered classroom. My students take roles in editing an online publication of final works or they write a final book or they make a final website and they edit one another’s work to perfection in order to be publishable both under the work of the individual author and under the group, with their own names attached as editors. I help them write their own resumes in order to give themselves author and editor credit for this work in a professional way. But that means they take professional responsibility for the work under their charge. To date, no one has accepted a plagiarized paper (to my knowledge at least) from another student, not when their name has been attached as the editor.
(4) Allow students to pool their talents in order to produce a great collective outcome (an alternative to competing to see who is the best student in the class, gerting rid of the teacher's pet model of in-class hierarchy). I have had students who are terrible proofreaders ask other students to help them, but it is almost always followed by an offer such as: “I am good at formatting and, if you proofread for me, I’m happy to put in all the images and work with the HTML and format your essay.” As long as they tell me how they have worked out this collaborative arrangement equitably, so no one is taking advantage of anyone, and so everyone has learned from the process, I am happy to oblige. That is a major life skill.
And I don’t have to be a dictator.
All of this is about getting over that first obstacle to student-centered learning: myself. It is about constructing ways of sharing authority, delegating power, assigning roles, and sharing responsibility. (And sometimes, all that is really hard. There are no lesson plans.)
Finally, if you are rethinking all your own reflexes as a professor in order to transform your traditional methods of teaching, you need the equivalent of an energy drink. Here are some very quick, direct, simple resources that I find inspiring and motivating. There are lots of more intense, theoretical texts you can be reading. I offer these quick, popular, trade audience (non-scholarly) reads and viewings just to get started:
Katherine Reynolds, “What If Everything You Knew About Disciplining Kids Was Wrong?” Negative consequences, timeouts, and punishment just make bad behavior worse. But a new approach really works. Mother Jones, July/August 2015 Issue
Excellent retrospective article in Mother Jones on the long, distinguished career of educator Ross Greene who reverses the Skinnerite tradition of “consequences” (good or bad) for kids’ behavior and action and instead works with kids who are acting out to come up with solutions, on their own or with the help of adults, to the quandary they are acting out about. This gets to the deep root of student-centered learning and all that, as college professors, we have to think about reversing in the college classroom. This is not a superficial fix. It is a deep social and psychological transformation to a new way of thinking about individuals, authority, society, difference, and dissent.
“An Ecological View of Equity” by Nichole Pinkard https://vimeo.com/130571863
In her Digital Media and Learning Conference keynote, Pinkard examines the importance of working toward equity by both strengthening individuals and fixing broken systems.
Marina Krakovsky, “The Effort Effect,” Stanford Alumni, https://alumni.stanford.edu/get/page/magazine/article/?article_id=32124
A concise overview of the career of Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck whose work shows that students who believe they have the capacity to grow do, in fact grow. More important, students from disadvantaged backgrounds have absorbed the idea that they are innately inferior and lack this potential. But--here’s the good news--students can be shown that this is untrue, that they can, in fact, learn and grow. And they do.
Michael Wesch, “Digital Ethnography” (http://mediatedcultures.net/michael-wesch/)
Wesch is one of the most radical practitioners of student-centered learning. His blog, Digital Ethnography (http://mediatedcultures.net/michael-wesch/), is a gold mine of ideas, but here’s one: to study agining and the sociology of a retirement community, the students in Wesch’s Digital Ethnography class at Kansas State University moved into a retirement community for a semester. One year, the students made a beautiful video based on ethnographic interviews with the residents; this year, they are making a single-player game based on the consequential life choices and circumstances being faced by the residents they lived with for the year. Their work can be viewed on Mike's site. More inspiration for all of us. And for a particularly charming talk by Mike Wesch, featuring his one-year old son learning to walk down a stair by himself: https://kansasstate.mediasite.com/mediasite/Play/f9f9b2ffa5cc44dc9d7c7ed...
Steven L. Berg, “Scholarly Voices,” https://www.hastac.org/groups/scholarly-voices
On the HASTAC site, history and English professor Steven L. Berg has created a student site, Scholarly Voices, where his students at Schoolcraft College, a community college in Livonia, Michigan, blog their own work. The range and quality is unfailingly interesting. Even more inspiring, the Schoolcraft students often venture off the student blog and make comments (sometimes quite pointed) on the opinions and research offered by senior scholars. They can be fearless, and they are always respecful, smart, and serious--true role models.
Steven L. Berg, Student portal and project on “Unflattening by Nick Sousanis” http://scholarlyvoices.org/unflattening/index.html
This is inspiring several times over. Nick Sousanis wrote Unflattening, a comic about comics and visual literacy, as a dissertation at Columbia Teacher's College. Prof Berg's students are writing a variety of projects inspired by, annotating, using, and creating lesson plans for Unflattening (the stunningly beautiful and provocative dissertation was almost immediately published as a book by Harvard University Press). Every part of this should be inspiring to any professor who is self censoring. Nick, Steve, and these Schoolcraft undergrads are all role models for the rest of us.
Lee Skallerup, “College Ready Writing - Peer-Driven Learning,” http://collegereadywriting.blogspot.com/p/peer-driven-learning.html
This series of blog posts explores Professor Skallerup's 3-plus year peer-driven learning project, sharing everything from her motivations, to the challenges, to nuts-and-bolts explanations of how she did what she did. Quoting her: "What I am most proud of is that this was done with students from a rural state institution, students who came from 'failing' schools, students who came in under-prepared, students who were first-generation, students who were from some of the poorest zip-codes in the country. They did it. Never accept that 'it can’t be done here, with these students.'" Lee and her students again inspire us with their example.

The magnetic part of the rotor is also made of steel laminations, mainly to facilitate stamping conductor slots of the desired shape and size. In most induction motors, the rotor winding is of the squirrel-cage type where solid conductors in the slots are shorted together at each end of the rotor iron by conducting end rings. In such machines there is no need to insulate the conductors from the iron. For motors up to about 300 kilowatts, the squirrel cage often consists of an aluminum casting incorporating the conductors, the end rings, and a cooling fan. For larger motors, the squirrel cage is made of copper, aluminum, or brass bars welded or brazed to end rings of a similar material. In any case, the rotor is very rugged and is also economical to produce in contrast to rotors requiring electrically insulated windings.

During last week Chinese internet forums have started sharing images of J-10C fighter aircraft with marking of the Pakistan Airforce (PAF) which are equipped with Chinese developed WS-10B Taihang turbofan engines. This makes Pakistan as first country to purchase Chinese 4.5 generation J-10C fighter aircraft. PAF will also be first user of WS-10B engines outside People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF).
Interior Minister of Pakistan, Mr. Skeish Rashid Ahmed have already claimed in December last year that first batch of J-10Cs will be inducted in March 20222 and will participate in Pakistan's Republic Day on 23 March, 2022.
Chinese J-10C is 4.5+ generation fighter aircraft is equipped with radar than the one used by the JF-17 Block 3
Bigger active electronically scanned array (AESA) will allow Pakistan air force to fully exploit long range of PL-15 Long Range Beyond Visual Range Air-to-Air Missile (BVRAAM) and newly developed, highly agile PL-10 short range air-to-air missile which is hard to shake off
Pakistani purchase of J-10C doesn't mean that Pakistan Air force will scale back production of JF-17 Block III. When compared to light weight JF_17, medium tech J-10C offers additional capabilities which includes
· Better kinetic performance
· Better maneuverability
· Bigger AESA Radar to fully exploit long range of PL-15
· IRIST sensor for passive detection
· Wide range of already integrated weapons
· Future developments are already underway and costs are by PLAAF
· Better thrust to weight
· Long range
Pakistani J-10C will have new narrow frame holographic HUD (head-up display) and Pakistani specific datalink antenna. | <urn:uuid:25030f1b-9980-42b3-8617-fc921caf795e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://chinesemilitaryreview.blogspot.com/2022/02/pakistan-airforce-paf-acquires-chinese.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.913426 | 378 | 1.601563 | 2 |
A 67-year-old woman was admitted for nephrotic syndrome. In spite of the lack of lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly and serum hyperviscosity, remarkable monoclonal IgM-proteinemia was demonstrated. Amyloid kidney was shown by renal biopsy. However, in the bone marrow and other organs, neither proliferation nor invasion of monoclonal immunoglobulin-producing cells was revealed by immunohistological investigations of the specimens biopsied or examined at autopsy, excluding Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia. Immunosuppressive chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisolone was effective in reducing serum IgM, but could not slow the progression of renal failure. This case suggested the association of generalized amyloidosis with excessive IgM-proteinemia caused by a non-malignant mechanism.

Step 25: Use the angled line on the right as a guide to draw the top part of the second wing. Follow the path of the guide and draw the shape of the wing around it. Use curved lines to emphasize the muscle structure. Don't overlap the wyvern's head or horns. Draw a small spike at the joint in the middle and another spike at the top.
Step 26: Use the curved line on the right as guides to draw the rest of the wyvern's second wing. Simply darken the guides. This wing should be a tiny bit shorter than the wing on the right. At the bottom, draw a couple of shorter curved lines to form the pointy edges of the wing.
Step 27: Draw a couple of V-shaped lines that connect to the body to complete the wing. Sketch lightly at first and only darken the lines when you get the shapes right. The number of spikes on the bottom edge of each wing should be equal.
Step 28: Use the U-shaped line under the body, on the left, as a guide to draw the wyvern's first leg. Darken the U- shaped line and add a point at the bottom for a spike. Darken the shape below for the foot. At the bottom, draw the toe pointing backward using a curved line.
Step 29: Use the shapes on the right as guides to draw the wyvern's second leg the same way as the first. Darken the shapes but add a spike to the joint and the toes pointing backward at the bottom. | <urn:uuid:fdb167f8-9afe-4a76-a32a-66c05e2d16f8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://how2drawanimals.com/8-animals/387-draw-wyvern.html?start=5 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.922156 | 319 | 2.953125 | 3 |
The United States and Europe are ready to compromise with Iran over its nuclear program and have tentatively approved a plan that would allow it to make the precursor of enriched uranium, senior officials said Thursday.
The officials said the plan would allow Iran to convert raw uranium into the gas that is spun by centrifuges into enriched uranium. But the actual enrichment would take place in Russia, the officials told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to reveal the strategy.
Depending on its level, enrichment can be used to generate energy or make nuclear weapons. Iran insists it is interested in the technology only to produce power, but the United States and many other countries fear Tehran wants to enrich uranium to weapons-grade levels to use as the fissile core in warheads.
Iran has refused to bow to international demands that it renounce its right to enrichment and related activities and in August resumed uranium conversion. That prompted Britain, France and Germany to break off talks with Tehran meant to dispel fears about its nuclear agenda. It also led a September meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s 35-nation board to approve a resolution clearing the path for Iran’s referral to the U.N. Security Council at a Nov. 24 board meeting.
Publicly, both the Americans and the three European nations representing the European Union have insisted that Iran needed to stop conversion — an enrichment-related activity — to defuse the threat of Security Council referral.
But a senior European official told the AP Thursday that the EU-Three and Washington were now prepared to allow Iran to continue conversion as long as the gas produced was shipped to Russia and enriched there. That would allow international control over the level of enrichment, ensuring that it was below the levels that can be used for weapons. The development was first reported by The New York Times on Thursday.
A diplomat close to the IAEA confirmed the change in strategy but refused to elaborate.
The official emphasized the plan would not formally be proposed by the Americans and Europeans. Instead, he said, they were looking to the Russians to make such an offer that they then could approve.
That would give Washington, Paris, London and Berlin a chance to save diplomatic face after months of saying they would not accept conversion, he indicated. | <urn:uuid:a6dcd8c1-7cad-40af-bd53-f94f36056b15> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna9989014 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.96289 | 463 | 2.09375 | 2 |
What happened to Canada? It used to be the country we would flee to if life in the United States became unpalatable. No nuclear weapons. No huge military-industrial complex. Universal health care. Funding for the arts. A good record on the environment.Read it here.
But that was the old Canada. I was in Montreal on Friday and Saturday and saw the familiar and disturbing tentacles of the security and surveillance state. Canada has withdrawn from the Kyoto Accords so it can dig up the Alberta tar sands in an orgy of environmental degradation. It carried out the largest mass arrests of demonstrators in Canadian history at 2010’s G-8 and G-20 meetings, rounding up more than 1,000 people. It sends undercover police into indigenous communities and activist groups and is handing out stiff prison terms to dissenters. And Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper is a diminished version of George W. Bush. He champions the rabid right wing in Israel, bows to the whims of global financiers and is a Christian fundamentalist.
The voices of dissent sound like our own. And the forms of persecution are familiar. This is not an accident. We are fighting the same corporate leviathan.
“I want to tell you that I was arrested because I am seen as a threat,” Canadian activist Leah Henderson wrote to fellow dissidents before being sent to Vanier prison in Milton, Ontario, to serve a 10-month sentence. “I want to tell you that you might be too. I want to tell you that this is something we need to prepare for. I want to tell you that the risk of incarceration alone should not determine our organizing.”
“My skills and experience—as a facilitator, as a trainer, as a legal professional and as someone linking different communities and movements—were all targeted in this case, with the state trying to depict me as a ‘brainwasher’ and as a mastermind of mayhem, violence and destruction,” she went on. “During the week of the G8 & G20 summits, the police targeted legal observers, street medics and independent media. It is clear that the skills that make us strong, the alternatives that reduce our reliance on their systems and prefigure a new world, are the very things that they are most afraid of.”
The decay of Canada illustrates two things. Corporate power is global, and resistance to it cannot be restricted by national boundaries. Corporations have no regard for nation-states. They assert their power to exploit the land and the people everywhere. They play worker off of worker and nation off of nation. They control the political elites in Ottawa as they do in London, Paris and Washington. This, I suspect, is why the tactics to crush the Occupy movement around the globe have an eerie similarity—infiltrations, surveillance, the denial of public assembly, physical attempts to eradicate encampments, the use of propaganda and the press to demonize the movement, new draconian laws stripping citizens of basic rights, and increasingly harsh terms of incarceration.
Our solidarity should be with activists who march on Tahrir Square in Cairo or set up encampamentos in Madrid. These are our true compatriots. The more we shed ourselves of national identity in this fight, the more we grasp that our true allies may not speak our language or embrace our religious and cultural traditions, the more powerful we will become.

File Photograph: The image, collected from project official Atikul Islam’s Fb website page, exhibits homes created underneath a task to accommodate Rohingya refugees in Bhashan Char, Noakhali, Bangladesh Gathered
The job, which is scheduled to be done this calendar year, is currently being executed by the Bangladesh Navy
Rohingya refugees dwelling in Bangladesh are seemingly in the dim on the rewards, pitfalls, and possible side-outcomes of relocation to the remote island of Bhashan Char, located in an estuary of the Meghna river.
The Bangladesh government assures a cozy living for the relocated Rohingyas on the island, although the neighborhood appears to be unconvinced.
By the government’s system, 103,200 Rohingyas out of a lot more than a million at this time sheltered in the cramped camps of Cox’s Bazar will be moved to Bhashan Char beneath a project with an estimated expense of about Tk2,312 crore.
The venture, which is scheduled to be accomplished this year, is getting executed by the Bangladesh Navy.
Bhashan Char, also identified as Thengar Char, is situated 21 nautical miles from Noakhali, 11 nautical miles from Jahajir Char, 4.2 nautical miles from Sandwip, 28 nautical miles from Patenga, and 13.2 nautical miles from Hatia.
The only mode of commute for inhabitants of Bhasan Char, positioned 30km away from the mainland, will be vessels that just take a few to a few-and-a-50 % hrs to journey from Hatia.
Even with the reservations of equally the Rohingyas and the international local community, the government is even now hopeful that the plan will assistance handle the massive refugee populace in a disciplined method.
One of the key issues elevated by Rohingyas against Bhasan Char is that they dread the island can be washed absent by tidal surges.
The place, declared a forest reserve in 2013, is 10,000 acres at high tide and 15,000 acres at minimal tide.
No a single has at any time lived on the island right before. It was mostly made use of for cattle grazing until the construction of shelters for the Rohingyas commenced.
The Rohingya group is also anxious that the relocated members will be slash off from NGOs and the worldwide local community at the moment working in Cox’s Bazar camps, providing foodstuff, shelter, schooling, and healthcare wellbeing care.
Even so, authorities say a extremely healthy and comfortable life, facilitated by the governing administration alone, is ready for the Rohingyas in Bhashan Char if they relocate.
Noakhali Deputy Commissioner Tanmoy Das mentioned the Rohingyas may perhaps harbour these fears for the reason that of the separation from Cox’s Bazar. As a option, a tiny range of refugees will be taken to the island beforehand to see the authentic scenario, so they can influence other people to relocate.
Concrete houses and flood defence
Governing administration officers are extremely optimistic about the relocation plan. They believe the Rohingya men and women would uncover the location ideal once they get started dwelling there.
According to the system permitted in November 2017, there will be 120 cluster villages with 1,440 houses to property the displaced Rohingyas. The properties will be built four ft above the floor, in get to shield the refugees from substantial tidal waves.
Each of the residences will have concrete breeze-block rooms measuring 2m x 2.5m with compact barred windows, which are more habitable than the camps in Cox’s Bazar.
In purchase to defend the internet site from tidal floods and purely natural disasters, the island will have a 13km flood defence embankment, with a height of 3 metres and a width of 37 metres on a layer by layer basis.
“The 14 ft double embankment has been created to deal with tidal surges,” claimed Noakhali DC.
There will also be 120 cyclone centres to secure the Rohinygas from cyclones, in accordance to the prepare.
The ground ground of the cyclone shelters is four ft higher than the floor and the initial flooring is 10 toes above the ground floor. Refugees on the initial ground of the shelters need to be protected from tidal surges up to a peak of 14 toes.
The shelter properties, anytime necessary, will also be applied as clinics and group centres, said DC Tanmoy Das.
There will be modern healthcare facility services, instructional institutions, playgrounds for Rohingya little ones, and prayer houses for the community.
Currently, 22 folks use a single toilet in crowded camps in Cox’s Bazar which will stand at one bathroom for 11 men and women in Bhashan Char.
To be certain pure ingesting drinking water, there will be deep tube wells for the inhabitants.
There will be a jetty, a dam, a hearth assistance device, and a meteorological office environment on the island. Photo voltaic energy systems will be installed to make sure 24-hour electricity for residents.
There will be perimeter fencing and watch towers will also be developed to ensure safety for the rehabilitation undertaking. A law enforcement camp has presently been built there.
“There is also a silo there which will preserve food for the local community,” reported Das.
‘Bhashan Char will give them economic freedom’
Assuring the Rohingya people today of a far better dwelling in comparison to the present lifestyle they are major, Noakhali Deputy Commissioner Tanmoy Das stated the island has been designed in a way that can not only be certain a relaxed residing, but also support Rohingya people today produce their life socially and economically.
“They can decide on to perform here. We have created the island in a way that they can perform in cottage industries, agricultural do the job, fish farming, and animal husbandry. They can even set up retailers below. It will make them economically independent,” stated Das.
Some non-federal government organisations have previously been contacted to obtain goods developed by the community on the island, and to offer then outdoors with correct branding, he added.
“The Rohingyas can generate discounts by doing this form of do the job, and it will assist them when they go again to Myanmar,” mentioned the Noakhali DC.
Mohammad Abul Kalam, refugee reduction and repatriation commissioner, explained they will very first take a delegation of Rohingyas to the island so they can see the development with their very own eyes and influence other individuals.
Secretary to the Disaster Administration and Reduction Ministry, Md Shah Kamal, explained to the Dhaka Tribune that the island will assure a significantly improved livelihood for the Rohingyas.
“Primarily we goal to choose 100,000 persons there. They will be able to lead humane life with all vital services there,” he said.
The secretary claimed the island is completely ready to acquire new inhabitants, but could not say when the relocation system would get started. | <urn:uuid:809e73ef-0b00-4845-bd9d-ec7e58bd695a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://michaelkors-outletonline.xyz/inside-the-bhashan-char-approach-for-rohingyas.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.945463 | 1,467 | 2.03125 | 2 |

VETERANS, ACTIVE MILITARY ADMITTED FREE TO EAA AVIATION MUSEUM ON NOVEMBER 11
Latest Eagle Hangar exhibits honor WWII women aviators, Huey helicopters in Vietnam
EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wisconsin — (October 28, 2020) — All veterans and current active military members are welcome free of charge to the EAA Aviation Museum on Wednesday, November 11, in honor of Veterans Day.
“Throughout its history, the EAA Aviation Museum has always recognized the unique service and sacrifices by military personnel,” said Ron Connolly, EAA Aviation museum director and a U.S. Army aviation veteran. “Our exhibits pay tribute to some of the greatest names in military aviation history, with new exhibits telling the stories of everyday people who answered the call of duty to country.”
Among some of the newest exhibits in the museum’s Eagle Hangar, which salutes the men, women, and aircraft involved in military service:
Huey: The Workhorse of Vietnam – This exhibit, opened in August, features a UH-1 Huey helicopter that is a combat veteran of the Vietnam War while part of three tours with the 121st Assault Helicopter Company based out of Soc Trang. It was the last time this aircraft flew, and the combat and bullet hole repairs, along with the weathered interior sections, are still visible in the airframe as it appeared when shipped back to the U.S. In the past month, the aircraft’s actual unit markings have been restored to the helicopter’s fuselage.
WASP: Women Flyers of WWII – This temporary exhibit honors the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), who flew essential missions during World War II that kept the Arsenal of Democracy moving. The WASP pilots were the first women to fly military aircraft, taking aircraft from manufacturing plants to airfields in the U.S. and overseas, towing aerial targets, transporting cargo, and other missions not in combat areas, as women were prohibited from combat duty at that time. More than 1,100 women were accepted into the WASP program in 1943 and 1944, and 38 of them died while in service to their country.
More information is available at EAA.org/VeteransDay. Special health and safety precautions are currently in effect at the EAA Aviation Museum. Those requirements include health and temperature screening upon arrival at the museum and wearing masks while in the facility.

Camp Curtin Historical Society features Scott Mingus speaking on Pennsylvania’s response to the Confederate invasion
The Camp Curtin Historical Society proudly presents author and tour guide Scott L. Mingus, Sr. speaking on “The 1863 Confederate Invasion and Pennsylvania’s Response” 2:00PM, Sunday, April 11, 2010 at the National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg
One of the most strategically important parts of the 1863 Gettysburg Campaign is virtually unknown today. In late June, Confederate Brig. Gen. John B. Gordon led a vital expedition through south-central Pennsylvania with a goal of seizing the mile-long Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge over the Susquehanna River. Along the way, Gordon had to deal with hastily recruited and barely trained state emergency militia whose mission was to delay the Rebels for as long as possible and then deny them the use of the river crossings at Harrisburg and Wrightsville. This PowerPoint talk covers the first fighting at Gettysburg (a series of skirmishes on June 26), the subsequent cavalry raid on Hanover Junction, Gordon’s triumphal Sunday parade through York, and the skirmish at Wrightsville that doomed the Gordon expedition to failure.
Scott Mingus has written seven Civil War books, including Human Interest Stories of the Gettysburg Campaign (Volumes 1 and 2) and Flames Beyond Gettysburg: The Gordon Expedition. His latest book, The Louisiana Tigers in the Gettysburg Campaign, was published in October by LSU Press. His new manuscript, Gettysburg Glimpses 2: More True Stories from the Battlefield, will be published in May 2010. Mingus has also written several articles for The Gettysburg Magazine. He maintains a popular blog on the Civil War history of York County for the York Daily Record (www.yorkblog.com/cannonball), and he is a sanctioned Civil War tour guide for the York County Heritage Trust. He also has written five scenario books on wargaming. Scott and his wife Debi publish CHARGE!, the leading international magazine for Civil War miniature wargaming.
This presentation is free. Bring a friend.
Admission to the museum galleries requires the purchase of a ticket.

According to Printerhall, 50 km south of Madrid is the city of Aranjuez. (Aranjuez). The main attraction of these places is the palace and park ensemble, which served as the summer residence of the royal family. Now it is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The palace and its gardens were built between the 16th and 18th centuries by architects such as Juan Batista de Toledo, Juan de Herrera and Francesco Sabatini. This is the most significant palace and park ensemble during the reign of the Habsburg dynasty. A truly picturesque place was chosen for the royal residence – this is the confluence of the Tahoe and Jarama rivers. Today, inside the Royal Palace there is a unique collection of paintings, sculptures, furniture, ceramics and jewelry that belonged to the royal family. Three roads lead from the palace, along which three extensive gardens are arranged. Numerous fountains and statues are located in the gardens, as well as the Casa del Labrador, which contains a collection of paintings, and the Faluas Museum, which displays the boats on which members of the royal family walked along the Tagus River. From May to September on Saturdays and Sundays from Madrid to Aranjuez tourist “Strawberry train” runs, which will take you here in 1 hour. The train is named Strawberry Train because the area around Aranjuez is famous for its strawberries. The train is a typical late 19th and early 20th century trainset. During the trip, girls in vintage outfits will offer you to taste local strawberries. The small town of Chinchon is located 45 km southeast of Madrid. (Chinchon), whose appearance has hardly changed for several hundred years. It is the very spirit of antiquity and solitude that attracts tourists here. The center of the city is the round Plaza Mayor, bordered by the facades of houses with numerous balconies. Cozy cafes are located on the first floors of the houses. The square is the venue for major celebrations and, of course, bullfighting. In addition, churches and towers from the 18th and 19th centuries are scattered along the narrow streets of Chinchon, and the ruins of the Count’s castle from the 15th century have been preserved on the outskirts of the city. The cafes and restaurants of Chinchon and its surroundings are especially popular, offering a wide variety of Spanish cuisine.
Excursions to the protected mountains of the Sierra de Guadarrama are very interesting. (Sierra de Guadarrama), which is part of the Central Cordillera mountain range. The Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range offers tourists unlimited opportunities for hiking and mountaineering. There are two significant conservation areas here: the natural park of Mount Penalara (Penalara) (2428 m, the highest point of the Sierra de Guadarrama) and the Cuenca Alta del Rio Manzanares biosphere reserve; as well as several ski centers: Puerto de Navacerrada (Puerto de Navacerrada), Valdeschi (Valdesqui) and La Pinilla (La Pinilla). These ski centers are within 100 km of Madrid. In addition, some significant cultural and historical sites are located in the Sierra de Guadarrama.
These include the city of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, located 50 km northwest of Madrid, where the Royal Monastery was built in the 16th century under King Philip II, now included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. This is the largest monastic complex in Spain (it extends over an area of more than 33 thousand square meters) and one of the most significant monuments of Spain the Renaissance. It was erected in honor of the victory of the Spaniards over the French in the battle of San Quenten, as a reminder of the strength and power of the state, with the participation of architects Juan Batista de Toledo and Juan de Herrera. The monastery complex includes the Royal Palace, consisting of many halls and rooms richly decorated with frescoes and a collection of sculptures, paintings and furniture (among them is the ascetic bedroom of Philip II, where the king died); Basilica with a dome 95 m high; the Pantheons located under its altar (in one there are the tombs of the monarchs from the Habsburg and Bourbon families, in the other – the tombs of their wives and children); 9 towers and more than a dozen courtyards and galleries connecting all the buildings. In addition, tourists can visit the Library, which contains about 40 thousand manuscripts of the 15th-16th centuries, the Museum of Architecture, where documents are exhibited, telling about the history of the construction of the monastery complex, and the Museum of Painting, which presents the works of El Greco, Ribera, Titian, Tintoretto, Velasquez, Bosch and other famous painters. On the outskirts of the city of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, you can see the so-called “Chair of Philip II” (a stone block in the form of an armchair), from where, according to legend, the king watched the construction of the monastery.
13 km north of San Lorenzo de El Escorial is the Valley of the Fallen (Valle de los Caidos) – a monument carved into one of the rocks of the Sierra de Guadarrama by order of the dictator Francisco Franco in honor of those who died in the Civil War. The monument is a 150-meter stone cross with sculptural compositions, standing on a rock, inside of which there is a church. About 40 thousand soldiers and the dictator Francisco Franco are buried here. There is a monastery in front of the monument, whose monks serve in the rock church. Since 2009, the entrance to the church has been closed due to ongoing restoration work. | <urn:uuid:934c35e0-8483-4246-9029-d99629cbfc82> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.franciscogardening.com/sightseeing-in-madrid-spain.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.95576 | 1,206 | 2.421875 | 2 |
Good morning, “Just grow up!” is the frustrated response of parents to a child’s immaturity. Though well past toddlerhood, the son throws a tantrum when he doesn’t get what he wants. A daughter refuses to take responsibility for a homework assignment. Instead of getting a job to support themselves, children expect Mom and Dad to pay the cell phone bill. Childhood is not intended by God to be a permanent state. But there is one aspect of childhood which the Lord never wants us to lose. On one occasion when the disciples asked Jesus about greatness in His kingdom, He called a little child and had him stand among them. He told them, “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 18:3-4). A very young child usually has no illusions of greatness. He knows he is littler than almost everyone else. He knows there are many things he can’t do for himself. There are things he doesn’t understand about the world, and that’s OK because he trusts his parents to provide what he needs and to explain what he needs to know. That is the essence of faith in our heavenly Father, isn’t it? It is that simple, childlike trust in what He tells us. We can’t begin to comprehend the magnitude and complexity of the universe. NASA’s rover and helicopter are on Mars, as much as 250,000,000 miles from earth. But God made it all: the earth, planets, and galaxies. What is even farther beyond our human comprehension is God’s awesome love for the billions of sinners throughout the world’s history who deserve nothing but eternal death. God’s love from eternity was determined to rescue them, even though it would come at the cost of His Son’s life. What’s more, God did not just look at the totality of the human race, He knew you as an individual and loved you! He loved you with an everlasting love. Jesus paid for your sins. The Holy Spirit called you to faith. By Baptism you were adopted into God’s family. The world says, “Grow up! If you can’t understand it, if science can’t explain it, it can’t be true. You need to find your own way through life. You can’t count on anyone else.” Don’t let those lies undermine childlike faith and fill your heart with fear and doubt. May the Lord preserve us in that one true childlike faith. When questions and doubts arise, go back to the Word. Sit at Jesus’ feet. Rather than try to grasp all that He says with your reason, simply listen like a humble child who trusts their Father’s love and rejoices in the wonders of His salvation. Never grow up! Yours in Christ, Pastor Services tomorrow are at 8:00 and10:45 a.m. Sunday school: 9:30 a.m. and adult Bible class: 9:45 a.m. (Many people feel that no matter what their thoughts may be, they cannot be sins unless they are acted on. The Bible class will consider that attitude in light of what God says about coveting.) The quarterly voters meeting gets underway after second service. There is much to discuss, including the budget for the next fiscal year and details regarding new pews and other building improvements. We pray that as many voters as possible will set aside this time for planning our service to the Lord. Non-voters are welcome to sit in on the meeting as well. Here is the link for service signup: https://tinyurl.com/y2j5r8sn Signing up for the Sunday service by 6 p.m. Saturday is appreciated and helpful and a way of showing Christian love for one another. It gives the Elders and ushers an idea of how many people to prepare for. When you sign up you can also see how full the service will be, and if you wish, consider attending the other service. By signing up, you can easily be informed if that were advisable because of contact with someone at the service who later became ill. The church council asks that all worshipers wear masks. Masks are available in the entry if you forget yours. | <urn:uuid:c0f560b2-b567-4b4d-ba78-23a385592474> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://messiahhalescorners.com/pastors-podcasts/pastorsblog/2021/04/101860 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.96737 | 931 | 1.585938 | 2 |

Nonconformance management is a set of policies and procedures for identifying, documenting, evaluating, segregating and disposing of products that do not conform to the manufacturer's specific requirements.
The quality management guidelines set forth by the FDA and ISO have been put in place to help ensure that the end users of medical devices can benefit from a device that is both safe and effective. Simultaneously, the guidelines protect manufacturers by helping them establish a system that produces safe and effective medical devices that can be sold around the world. The FDA and ISO require medical device manufacturers to establish protocols for dealing with instances of non-conforming devices, ensuring that the devices are not mistakenly sold to the public and that manufacturers diligently identify and investigate the root cause of any non-conformance issues that arise.
Nonconforming Product And The FDA
In 21 CFR Part 820.90, the FDA gives the regulations for how medical device manufacturers should deal with instances of non-conforming product:
- Control of the non-conforming product - Manufacturers need to have a way to identify instances of the non-conforming product. This could be random sampling, batch testing, or internal quality audits that include several types of non-conformance testing. Non-conforming products need to be evaluated to determine if a further investigation is warranted, and the person responsible for the non-conforming product should be notified. The results of the evaluation and any follow-up investigation should be documented.
- Review and disposition of the non-conforming product - Manufacturers should create a procedure that defines responsibility for reviewing non-conformance issues and authority for disposing of affected products. The procedures for review and disposition should be documented in the QMS.
- Rework policy and procedure - Manufacturers must create policies and procedures for reworking non-conforming product, including a protocol for retesting the reworked product for conformity with specifications.
Manufacturers Can Still Use Nonconforming Products
Once a manufacturer has followed the FDA-mandated process for nonconformance management, they may be able to dispose of the material at their discretion. Manufacturers have several options for how to deal with non-conforming materials, parts or products:
- Rework the material so that it complies with the required specifications
- Assign the non-conforming materials to another use category that is appropriate for its condition
- Throw away the non-conforming parts or products
- Return non-conforming parts or materials to the supplier that provided them
- If the non-conformance issue is minor, the manufacturer may decide that no special action is required and the device can be used as-is.
Whichever route is chosen, the manufacturer must ensure that documentation is created to describe and justify the action that was taken, along with the documents that describe the evaluation and investigation process.
Nonconformance Management May Require Corrective And Preventive Actions
When an instance of non-conformance is identified as part of an internal quality audit or quality assurance process, it may warrant escalation to a CAPA issue if an evaluation determines that the issue could happen again. The FDA's guidelines for CAPA require medical device manufacturers to investigate the cause of any non-conformance event and identify actions that would prevent the event from recurring.
Manufacturers can undertake a root cause analysis and initiate their CAPA procedure to identify and correct the underlying causes of an identified nonconformance issue.
Greenlight Guru Helps Facilitate Effective Nonconformance Management
When the FDA audits your medical device company (and they will), you will need to show that you have taken steps to identify instances of non-conforming product, conducted evaluations and investigations in relation to those identifications, and that someone reviewed those materials and authorized a particular course of action for dealing with each non-conformance event.
Greenlight Guru's Quality Management Software helps manage and control your medical device company's documentation in compliance with FDA and ISO guidelines for nonconformance management. You'll also benefit from an electronically-accessed nonconformance management system that's closely connected with your CAPA process, ensuring that you’re able to focus on achieving True Quality even when you have a non-conforming event. | <urn:uuid:881815a0-12a0-4541-a32a-58fa9c04f5d8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.greenlight.guru/glossary/nonconformance-management | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.923417 | 862 | 2.53125 | 3 |

Google Changes Doodle To Mark Earth Day Today: Here’s All You Need To Know About Today
American technological gian t, Google has changed its doodle for today in order to mark Earth Day celebration.
April 22 of every year is a day set aside to mark Earth’s Day and the theme of this year’s celebration is “Restore Our Earth” as this year will mark the 51st anniversary of this special day.
Earth day is set to create awareness of environmental problems, critical issues facing the earth such as deforestation, global warming, pollution, bush burning, conservation, among others.
It is also a time where many communities, schools, industries, gather together to clean up litters, river clean ups, removal of invasive plants in the environment, planting of trees and flowers as well as showcasing the raw beauty of nature.
This year’s theme “Restore Our Earth” focuses on natural processes, emerging green technologies and innovative thinking that can restore the world’s ecosystems. And therefore, the theme also rejects the belief that only mitigation and adaptation are the ways to address climate change.
On this day, panel discussions, workshops and special performances that focus on “Restore Our Earth”, to cover natural processes, emerging green technologies, and innovative thinking that can restore the world’s ecosystem will be held too.
Some expected areas of discussion in most seminars and conferences marking Earth Day include climate and environmental literacy, climate restoration technologies, reforestation efforts, regenerative agriculture, equity and environmental justice, citizen science, and cleanups.
The day inspires us to act towards the protection of the environment and focus on the need for conservation and everyone is urged to participate in the movement as well nas contribute our different quotas as we all collectively push for global climate literacy.
Wondering ways you can play a part in today’s ‘Earth Day’ to “Restore Our Earth?”,
Oh well, here’s a list you can work with;
1) Clean up litters or plastics in your neighborhood and send them out for recycling.
2 Plant a tree or a flower today. Most flowers especially wild flowers are not only beautiful but also attracts insects that improve both pest control and pollination
3) Remove invasive plants such as weeds around you. They are unwanted!
4) Minimize bush burning
5) Conserve water
6) Clean out your kitchen and household products, you’ll be amazed at what you will see. You can properly dispose the unwanted ones and then send the rest out for recycling
In all you do, don’t forget we’ve got only one Earth and it’s both our individual and collective duty to protect it at all cost. | <urn:uuid:b10e50ad-4af2-4279-be19-ea1a642873be> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://ficustv.com/google-changes-doodle-to-mark-earth-day-today-heres-all-you-need-to-know-about-today/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.916101 | 577 | 2.703125 | 3 |
With access to communities opening as flood waters receded and debris cleared, the Louisiana Network Ministry now reports that the number of churches with significant damage has more than tripled since Tuesday, growing to 17 churches.
According to Brenda Viator, credential administrator and director of the Louisiana School of Ministry at the network office, Network Superintendent Scott Holmes and Secretary-Treasurer Den Hussey were able to access some communities and speak with ministers previously unreached to check on their well-being as well as any damages to report on church structures. With those personal contacts as well as by phone, the impact of Hurricane Ida on Louisiana AG churches became more clear. Viator believes now nearly every church has reported in, so numbers should not increase much more, if at all.
“Convoy of Hope has been taking turns at several of our churches with different truckloads of aid, same with Samaritan’s Purse, and cooking teams,” Viator adds. “We’ve also been fielding calls from Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and other areas ready to bring teams in and we’re working to coordinate those kinds of things.”
According to Convoy of Hope reports, thousands of families are being served through its distribution sites in places such as LaPlace, Bayou Gauche, Des Allemands, Houma, and other locations in the greater New Orleans area that sustained heavy storm damage.
Viator says that currently the network is working on delivering generators to pastors and their churches, which will enable them to get onto the road to recovery so they can minister to others.
“Our pastors are out there serving,” Viator says. “As tarps are being put on their own roofs, at the same time they’re handing out food and water.” The network has also opened its campgrounds in central Louisiana to ministers whose homes have been made unlivable by the storm.
Viator says that gasoline has become a precious commodity as well as cash — without power, stations can’t pump gas and many stores and businesses cannot take credit cards. She adds that the heat is taking a toll on people and mold is going to be literally a growing problem in the days and weeks to come.
“But what’s really outstanding is to field those phone call from people willing to come help our churches,” Viator says. “The people that have reached out and the different districts that have called to offer help, it’s been pretty great.”
So far no church damages have been reported in the Mississippi district, Potomac district, New York Ministry Network, Southern Latin district, or Texas Louisiana Hispanic district due to the storm. | <urn:uuid:ccbcd80f-6e7f-40ce-baed-16a029b7e5e7> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://agcalvaryfellowship.com/hurricane-ida-toll-grows-aid-continues/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.978851 | 571 | 1.507813 | 2 |

More about this marker. I used the "Chickamauga Battlefield" map, that I purchased at the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, Visitor Center, to determine both the marker number for this tablet and the tablet's location in relation to the rest of the park's monuments, markers, and tablets. According to the map it provides the, "numerical listing of all monuments, markers, and tablets on the Chickamauga Battlefield (using the Chick-Chatt NMP Monument Numbering System).”

Three patients in the United States have lost most of their ability to see after undergoing unregulated stem cell treatments.
Stem cell surgery is often the last bastion of hope for people hoping for a restoration of sight. However, the treatments are risky when conducted at unsupervised clinics, such as a private one in Florida where the three women were treated.
According to reports in the New England Journal of Medicine, stem cells were sourced from the body fat of the three patients and injected into the eyes. However, the treatment failed and the women lost most of their site. The clinic offered compensation to two of the patients but there have been no other penalties.
Professor Pete Coffey of University College London explains who clinical trials are run differently in the United Kingdom. For one, it is considered unethical for patients to pay for such procedures. Secondly, injecting both eyes at the same time is not good clinical practice as it involves testing an unproven therapy and subjecting the patient to unnecessary danger. Regulations in the UK are tighter with regards to private entrepreneurs offering stem cell surgery.
The website of the International Society for Stem Cell Research offers advice on how to be careful when seeking stem cell treatment. Unfortunately, many people believe stem cell therapy offers a miracle cure for a number of devastating diseases.
All is not bad news, though. Early trials on age-related macular degeneration and regenerative medicine are promising. The idea is to find a treatment that slows the progression of the disease and preserves central vision in a safe manner. In the meantime, more needs to be done to protect vulnerable individuals desperate for a cure. | <urn:uuid:02d79660-a1b7-4851-a44a-4ad18d311b7a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.regenerativemedicinenow.com/three-patients-lose-sight-unregulated-stem-cell-treatment/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.952118 | 366 | 2.765625 | 3 |

Care They Need
Pets play a vital role in our lives. Having a pet is a major responsibility, and many people aren’t aware that routine pet care tasks can lead to the transfer of diseases from pets to people.
Food & Diet
- However, because they are prone to gaining weight, their diet should include biologically adequate proteins, healthy fats, ground bones, and vegetables, which are high in critical vitamins and minerals, for maximum health and performance.
- Mastiffs should be fed food that contains high-quality red meats and/or seafood, as well as vegetables.
Every day, your Mastiff will need at least one hour of exercise.
- We suggest splitting the hour into two or three walks, including some off-leash time in a safe location.
- They need some games to keep their brains functioning. They’ll enjoy challenging puzzle games and training sessions.
- They’ll also require a lot of fun and gardening time.
They are intelligent and easy to train dogs. The Mastiff, like most working dog breeds, is extremely intelligent. You can teach them a variety of games, tricks, and even working jobs, which is ideal for folks who enjoy playing and interacting with their pets.
- Positive and reward-based training is advised. But for this, you need to maintain a firm and fair attitude.
- They are cautious to trust strangers, thus you should socialize them with a variety of people, pets, and situations.
- Teach them basic commands like to sit, down, and come.
They have thick fur, especially around their heads, giving them the appearance of a lion’s mane! So, grooming is important. These are some points that may guide you:
- Because the breed sheds its coat once a year between spring and summer, additional brushing will be required during those months. Otherwise, you may anticipate your Tibetan Mastiff to shed, but brushing a few times a week should help you keep up with it.
- Every grooming session should include a check of the length of the nails. They are touching the ground, which means they are too long, so cut them as soon as possible.
- They don’t clean their ears regularly. Do it only when necessary.
- Brush their teeth using the right technique.
If you’re thinking about getting a Tibetan Mastiff puppy, be sure the parents have had the appropriate health screening to limit the risk of your puppy contracting certain diseases.
- Hip & Elbow Dysplasia
- Gastric Dilatation Volvulus
- Ear Problems
- Skin Problems
List of Mixed Breed
- Tibetan Mastiff German Shepherd Mix

Note: A reputable breeder should have all of the necessary paperwork. Keep an eye out for the certifications listed below.
- The litter size of the Tibetan Mastiff ranges from 6 to 12 puppies.
- These pups are incredibly rare and difficult to come by in the United States, but if you do find one, prepare to pay between $1,500 and $5,000.
- They are quite pricey due to their scarcity. To put things in perspective, they are the most expensive dog breed in the world.
- It has a thick, lengthy double coat, with males having a thicker coat than females. The thick undercoat is soft and fluffy, while the topcoat is straight and firm. This breed seems to have a mane due to the abundance of hair on the neck and shoulders.

What is special about Tibetan Mastiff?
He’s a companion dog that thrives in the company of his loved ones. They should never be walked off leash because to his protective instincts. Vary his walks so he doesn’t develop enamored of a certain path. Tibetan Mastiffs are clever, self-reliant, and obstinate dogs that are also sensitive to human emotions.
Is Tibetan Mastiff aggressive?
If they do not believe their family or farm animals are in danger, they are rarely violent or harmful.
What is the most expensive dog?
It is the most expensive dog in the world. The breed reaches at least 26 inches tall at the shoulder and weighs more than 100 pounds on average. A Chinese billionaire made headlines after paying $1.9 million for a 1-year-old Tibetan mastiff dog, which typically sells for at least $7,000 a piece.
How many Tibetan Mastiff are there?
They are an uncommon breed in the United States. I’m guessing there are roughly 5,000 dogs registered with the [American Kennel Club]. Today, you may have between 1,000 and 2,000 people living.
Should I get a Tibetan Mastiff?
They are excellent family pets. When Tibetan Mastiff is reared with children or are regularly exposed to them, they thrive. They are easy to housebreak and are clean dogs. In the evenings and early mornings, Tibetan Mastiffs are more active. | <urn:uuid:55058b73-b765-4176-b27e-d44d4c38b6b4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.petanimalwildlife.com/tibetan-mastiff/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.959673 | 2,127 | 2.546875 | 3 |
What is Radon? FAQs About Your Home’s Indoor Air
What is radon — and why are testing and mitigation essential steps for a healthy house? Whether you are in the market for a new home, have recently bought a new property, or have never tested your house for this odorless, colorless gas, take a look at the top radon questions homeowners have answered.
Is Radon Natural?
Yes, radon is a naturally occurring substance. Unlike some contaminants that come from vehicle emissions, factories or manufacturing, home improvement products, or cleaning products, radon isn’t a synthetic (man-made) pollutant. This radioactive gas is found in trace amounts in the atmosphere, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Is Radon Found Indoors or Outdoors?
Radon testing and mitigation is done inside of your home. Does this mean the gas is only found indoors?
Even though you can find radon inside, this naturally occurring substance is primarily found outdoors. The gas moves through the air and into groundwater or other surface water sources. Radon can seep into the soil (through groundwater or other sources) and remain underground. The gas can move from the ground into your home through the foundation, cracks in the floors, construction joints, gaps around pipes, and through walls.
While fresh air diffuses exterior radon and makes it less of an issue outdoors, it can pose problems inside of your house. Unlike radon in the atmosphere, interior radon can’t dissipate easily. This leaves concentrated gas inside of your home.
Why is Radon Problematic?
Again, radon is a naturally occurring substance that doesn’t cause significant problems in the atmosphere. But when it enters your home, radon can put your family’s health at risk. According to the EPA, this invisible radioactive gas is the top cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and the second leading cause of this disease (for smokers and non-smokers) in America. The EPA notes that the effects of radon result in nearly 21,000 lung cancer-related deaths annually.
How Do You Know If Your Home Has a Radon Issue?
Radon isn’t like natural gas. While you can sniff the air to easily detect the sulfur-like smell of a natural gas leak, this type of sniff test won’t help you with radon. Detection of this cancer-causing gas requires a special test. The EPA suggests mitigation if your home’s radon levels are four picocuries per liter or above.
Can You Test for Radon Yourself?
You can buy a DIY radon test. But it’s preferable to hire a professional for this job. A DIY kit isn’t an immediate answer to your potential radon problem. Most kits require the user to follow a strict set of instructions. This may include leaving the kit out to collect a viable sample and sending it to a lab for analysis. You may also need to seal windows or vents and find the perfect place to collect samples.
If you’re not sure how to get the best results, don’t know what factors could impact the test, or want the reassurance of a professional test, contact a radon testing and mitigation contractor. A professional has the knowledge and experience to collect and analyze a sample. The radon testing contractor can also help you to better understand how the issue affects your household and provide you with steps to treat the problem.
What Should You Do About Radon?
If the contractor found radon levels of four picocuries per liter or higher, what should you do next? Never attempt a DIY approach to this issue. Professional radon mitigation services can reduce the risks to you and the rest of your household members. A mitigation system can decrease the levels of this substance in the interior air by up to 99 percent.

Samuel Johnson, the Ossian Fraud, and the Celtic Revival in Great Britain and Ireland
Download Full Text
James Macpherson's famous hoax, publishing his own poems as the writings of the ancient Scots bard Ossian in the 1760s, remains fascinating to scholars as the most successful literary fraud in history. This study presents the fullest investigation of his deception to date, by looking at the controversy from the point of view of Samuel Johnson. Johnson's dispute with Macpherson was an argument with wide implications not only for literature, but for the emerging national identities of the British nations during the Celtic revival. Thomas M. Curley offers a wealth of genuinely new information, detailing as never before Johnson's involvement in the Ossian controversy, his insistence on truth-telling, and his interaction with others in the debate. The appendix reproduces a rare pamphlet against Ossian written with the assistance of Johnson himself. This book will be an important addition to knowledge about both the Ossian controversy and Samuel Johnson.

Russia this year is marking 100 years since the Russian Revolution ended the country’s monarchy, an event that led to the creation of the Soviet Union, a communist regime that for much of the 20th century ruled an empire.
Despite the significant anniversary, Russian authorities have been cautious about how to observe it, apparently fearful of inciting divisions, especially in the wake of a revolution in neighboring Ukraine.
The Russian Revolution changed the course of history as the monarchy was replaced by a communist government — the world’s first.
“These are the greatest events — both February and October [revolutions],” said Boris Rivkin, with the historical cultural museum complex in Razliv. “One should not idealize them. But it was a turning point, a change of the state system, a change in the state of minds and social relations.”
Russia’s communist revolutionary leader, Vladimir Lenin, hid near the museum’s countryside location for a few days in July-August 1917 in a shed, as well as a shelter made out of hay.
A giant cement bust of Lenin sits near the woods outside the museum, which tells the story of Russia’s Bolshevik leaders and has a small exhibit of modern art paintings of Lenin.
Despite the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, its global influence continues to be felt, from former Soviet republics to other communist movements it inspired, and from Asia to Africa to South America.
WATCH: Russian Monarchy Still a Touchy Issue, 100 Years After Revolution
“It is impossible not to mark the revolution at all. This is a global event, and it affected the entire history of Russia and the whole world,” said the State Museum of Political History’s Sergey Spiridonov.
“But it is quite unclear, both for the authorities and many other people, whose side to choose in this revolution,” said Spiridonov. “We do not seem to support Bolsheviks anymore; we try to avoid this situation, to keep a distance from the Bolshevik ideology. But nevertheless, we realize that the present Russia is a successor of the Soviet Union.”
In contrast to the Soviet era, however, the Russian Revolution’s centenary observances are being played down by Russian authorities, who instead are urging reconciliation and unity.
“It is clear now that it is no holiday! Though this is quite a grand, significant and commemorative event for our country,” said Spiridonov. “The president [Vladimir Putin] was probably right to some extent when he called for a certain national reconciliation in connection with this date, because we have not yet survived through the situation of the revolution to the very end.”
Spiridonov said a democratic Russia would probably be expected to honor the Provisional Government, which came to power immediately after the popular uprising against the monarchy but was then overthrown by Lenin and other communist leaders.
“There is no split in society in relation to these events, but authorities are concerned about that,” said the Saint Petersburg Institute of History’s Igor Lukoianov. “And, they try by all means to be quite cautious in assessing those events, so as not to cause again an antagonism in society.”
On this 100-year anniversary, the Soviet Union’s many victims are remembered as much as its achievements. The Russian Civil War, Stalin’s Red Terror and Russia’s involvement in World War II cost the lives of countless millions.
The 2014 Ukrainian Revolution reinforced Russia’s wariness of movements and radical political change at home.
Russian officials called the popular uprising against Ukraine’s former Moscow-leaning President Viktor Yanukovych a “coup” backed by Western governments. Yanukovych fled to Russia, which annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula and launched military support for rebels in eastern Ukraine.
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russians increasingly refer to the “Bolshevik Revolution” as the “October Coup.”
“There is a difference between a coup d’etat and a revolution with masses [of people] involved,” said Lukoianov. “I shall not take a risk to answer that it is the last one, but it might not be a surprise to me that power might be changed and possibly by a nonconstitutional method.”
A century later, the 1917 revolution that shook Russia and the world is no longer a cause for celebration, but a time for contemplation. | <urn:uuid:292cf931-83d6-48b4-9e3f-f9721554f7cd> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://itmild.com/2017/03/russian-officials-cautious-on-how-to-mark-1917-revolution-centenary.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.957625 | 957 | 3.1875 | 3 |
Aerial surveying is a fast and efficient method of data collection which has a range of applications in topographic and route surveys, urban planning and mapping, construction and mining and visual inspection surveys.
An aerial survey using a unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) such as a drone can provide a fast and efficient method of capturing data over large areas in a short amount of time. This is a great option for large route or topographic surveys, volume and cut/fill surveys on large construction or mining sites as well as for urban planning and flood modelling.
The use of drones for inspection surveys provides safer access to assets which are hazardous, dangerous or hard difficult to access such as high voltage powerline and towers, flare stacks both on and off shore as well as high-rise buildings. UAV inspections reduce the risk to staff by having the operator in a safer environment that what otherwise might be to undertake the same work. By providing a range of products that can be shared and viewed multiple times in the office by engineers, the number of visits and personnel required to attend site is reduce, again making the works safer.
Products and deliverables can be provided to suit our Clients specific project requirements including video footage, still photography and thermal camera imagery which provide valuable information for engineering inspections. 3D point clouds, terrain models and photo realistic reality mesh can be extracted using photogrammetric techniques or LiDAR and used for planning, mapping and modelling projects, design and engineering projects as well as forming the basis for large scale volumetric calculations on mining or landfill sites.
Scopus can undertake UAV surveys for your next project using the latest drone technology and software applications. Our UAV survey team have the necessary training and skills to be able to operate commercially and all our surveys are meticulously planned and overseen by our in-house CAA approved pilot.
The benefits of UAV Surveys provided by Scopus are:
- Fast and efficient data collection, covering large areas quickly and ability to inspect inaccessible or dangerous assets.
- Range of applications and deliverables to suit your project requirements.
- Generation of 3D terrain models and photo realistic reality mesh using latest photogrammetric methods.
- Inspection surveys using 4k video, still photography with up to 30x zoom and thermal imaging. | <urn:uuid:290b1a38-493e-43f7-9357-cee4c63ed379> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://scopusengineering.com/uav-surveys/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.93127 | 464 | 2.265625 | 2 |
Once there came to the court of the Prince of Birkasha a dancer with her musicians. And she was admitted to the court, and she danced before the prince to the music the lute and the flute and the zither.
She danced the dance of flames, and the dance of swords and spears; she danced the dance of stars and the dance of space. And then she danced the dance of flowers in the wind.
After this she stood before the throne of the prince and bowed her body before him. And the prince bade her to come nearer, and he said unto her, “Beautiful woman, daughter of grace and delight, whence comes your art? And how is it that you command all the elements in your rhythms and your rhymes?”
And the dancer bowed again before the prince, and she answered, “Mighty and gracious Majesty, I know not the answer to your questionings. Only this I know: The philosopher’s soul dwells in his head, the poet’s soul is in the heart; the singer’s soul lingers about his throat, but the soul of the dancer abides in all her body.” | <urn:uuid:72e216dc-e4c4-4c37-9cc7-7a40cfb50a2f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.poeticous.com/khalil-gibran/the-dancer-once-there-came-to-the-court-of-the-prince-of-birkasha-a-da?locale=es | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572021.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814083156-20220814113156-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.967611 | 246 | 1.9375 | 2 |
There have been times where I’ve come across an object in a Tomb Raider game that caught my eye but I didn’t write an article about it because it didn’t quite fit the scope of my Arte-Factual series. So to remedy this, I’ve decided to launch a new series that will tackle anything that doesn’t warrant a full in-depth feature or simply doesn’t fit neatly under any of the site’s existing series.
The subject of this very first edition of “Tomb Raider Tidbits” is Lord Richard Croft’s book, Truth Behind Myth, which makes a few brief appearances in a number of cut scenes early in the game.
Spoiler Warning: While this fictional book makes a couple of appearances in Rise of the Tomb Raider, we know practically nothing about its contents and it isn’t central to the game’s plot. This article is completely spoiler-free so feel free to keep reading, even if you’re still waiting to play the game for yourself.
Now, onto the book itself…
The contents of Lord Croft’s academic tome are largely unknown but a detailed reproduction of the book’s dust jacket – designed by Senior Artist Jeff Adams – can be found in Rise of the Tomb Raider: The Official Art Book.
The text’s a little blurry in the photo – my apologies – so here’s the blurb and quotes for Truth Behind the Myth in full:
Richard Croft explores myth in search of lost truths within Christianity. The word myth rests on a historical basis. By the time of Christ, the Greco-Roman world had started to use the term myth (Greek muthos) to mean “fable, fiction, lie”; as a result, the early Christian theologians used “myth” in this sense. Thus, the derogatory meaning of the word “myth” is the traditional Christian meaning, and the expression “Christian mythology”, as used in academic discourse, may offend Christians for this reason.
“A truly engaging discussion…. lays the foundation for understanding human history.” – Dr. Thomas Braeder (?), Professor Emeritus of Archaeology, Cambridge University
“An ambitious, highly important book.” – Cameron P. Senwidge, British Museum Director of Natural History
However, the thing that really caught my attention was the cover photo. While it’s clearly supposed to be a photo of Lord Croft and an unknown assistant at Angkor Wat, it seems that it’s modelled after a real-life photo of the American explorer and academic Hiram Bingham. Bingham is best known for “discovering” the ruins of Machu Picchu in 1911.
This is most evident on the cover of the 2003 Phoenix Press edition of Bingham’s travelogue, Lost City of the Incas. Even the publishers’ logos look strikingly similar.
This incredible attention to detail in a seemingly insignificant and rarely-seen prop clearly demonstrates the art team’s dedication to crafting a plausible, realistic in-game environment that the gamer can lose themselves in.
Sadly, the contents of Lord Croft’s book Truth Behind Myth will continue to remain a mystery for now.
If you enjoyed this Tomb Raider Tidbit, you’ll definitely enjoy the many works of concept art, storyboards, and sketches that can be found in Rise of the Tomb Raider: The Official Art Book.

Canada’s response to the situation in Afghanistan
Afghan refugees who have arrived in Canada, under all streams since August 2021
What we’re doing
The Government of Canada is working hard to resettle at least 40,000 Afghan refugees in Canada as quickly and safely as possible. We developed several special programs and measures that reflect the long and enduring relationship we have with Afghans, and to protect some of the most vulnerable groups in Afghanistan.
Through our special programs, we’ll resettle
- 5,000 Afghans through the permanent residence pathway for extended family members of former interpreters
- 18,000 Afghans through the special immigration program for Afghan nationals who closely assisted our efforts in Afghanistan
- a mix of government-assisted and privately sponsored Afghan refugees through the humanitarian program
We’ll continue to explore other options and pathways to bring Afghans to Canada, such as the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot.

WASHwatch has ended
WASHwatch was developed in 2009 to help address the accountability deficit in the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector. It was the WASH sector’s first global dashboard that tracked progress in the sector across all countries. For the past decade it brought together commitments made by governments with evidence on WASH budgets, service levels and health outcomes. In doing so, it has supported WASH advocates across 192 countries to hold decision makers to account.
Before WASHwatch, it was difficult to access WASH data online. It was the first website that attempted to bring together all relevant WASH information in one place. However, in recent years several other websites have been developed to house various types of WASH information. Given the proliferation of these websites – and the variety of functions they perform – the WASHwatch project has been brought to an end.
Please see the following websites for information and data on WASH: | <urn:uuid:ed47b410-dbf7-4236-9d09-07eea06f87fa> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://washmatters.wateraid.org/washwatch-has-ended | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.965357 | 194 | 2.453125 | 2 |

Just 13% of the world’s oceans are classified as untouched marine wilderness.
Scientists have completed the first systemic analysis of marine wilderness around the world. They found that just 13.2% (53 million km2) of the world’s oceans are classed as marine wilderness.
Previously land wilderness has been much easier to assess, however, it seems ironic that we knew little about the oceans which cover more than 70% of our planet’s surface.
Marine wilderness here is seen as “biologically and ecologically intact seascapes that are mostly free of human disturbance,” as the authors explain in their research findings.
Kendall Jones, from The University of Queensland, and their research team sought to show the impact of human influence on marine wilderness to raise awareness to protect what remains.
What little remains
To map the global extent of marine wilderness they painstakingly analysed data on the intensity and cumulative impact of 19 different human stressors to marine environments globally in 2013. They included land-based stressors (e.g. nutrient runoff from fertilisers and sediment), ocean-based stressors (e.g. fishing and commercial shipping), and climate change.
With on a small fraction of the world’s wilderness still classified as wilderness, they found that what remains is fragmented. The areas were mostly spread around the Arctic, Antarctica, or around remote Pacific Island nations.
Only 4.9% of marine wilderness is currently within marine protected areas, which raises concerns about making sure that global conservation strategies and policies are incorporating marine areas.
Wilderness havens for biodiversity
Wilderness areas are crucial for marine biodiversity. High biodiversity areas like coral reefs have very little wilderness.
On average, global wilderness areas have 31% higher species richness, 40% higher range rarity, and 24% higher proportional range rarity than non-wilderness areas, though this varies substantially across marine ecoregions.
Jones said, “Pristine wilderness areas hold massive levels of biodiversity and endemic species and are some of the last places of Earth where big populations of apex predators are still found,”
“This means the vast majority of marine wilderness could be lost at any time, as improvements in technology allow us to fish deeper and ship farther than ever before.
“Thanks to a warming climate, even some places that were once safe due to year-round ice cover can now be fished.”
A sobering line that the authors write is, “Human pressures across the ocean are increasing rapidly, and nowhere in the sea is entirely free of human impacts.”
They call for global collaboration and the urgent need for action to protect what remains of marine wilderness.
The research is published in Current Biology. | <urn:uuid:86a1cf89-522b-4795-8537-388263d6b3a4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://australiascience.tv/global-marine-wilderness-areas-are-shrinking/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.947141 | 577 | 3.765625 | 4 |
Time, always, before I retired, I never worked overtime as the time at home doing what I wanted was always worth more than the money the overtime brought.
Time..with time you can make money.. but with money, you cannot buy time. even the richest man couldn't afford to buy his own past.
As has been said before: 'You can buy a watch, but you cannot buy time.'
More and more I realise now how much time I've wasted which is lost forever, non renewable: Finite in your life. Money you don't really need as much as you think.
You might want more than you think, but that's different!
One of the most valuable things in life is knowledge. You can not really buy knowledge, unless you count schooling and books that you pay for. Knowledge comes with experience over time. Money only buys material things. Time is the space in which you can enjoy and live. I would say time is more valuable!
I think time is much more valuable than money. In fact I place no value on money at all other than it is necessary to buy things. If I could get by with out it I would gladly do so.
Everyone will say "time." Almost everyone spends most of his waking hours trying to get more money, though, so the truth is most people value money more highly.
Without a doubt, Time. Time to enjoy ones life to the fullest, with family and friends.
Lady_E: Neither holds any value, or, importance to me. I can only live time one second at a time. I use money to cover my rent and my bills.
My whole life is a slice of time in an eternity which will soon come to an end, giving space for other people to spend their time after me. Remember, I never mentioned money;)
Time. For me my time equals potiential money I could be making. Also, I can always go out and make more money, but for the foreseeable future I cannot buy more time and add it on to my life.
Absolutely Time. Time is the Father's manna in the present. We only get so much of it and we can't save it for the next day. With it, we can do anything. ;-)
Both are same. The difference is the time is one time income; You have earned your hole life already, now you just need to spend it everyday or every moment. And money you earn everyday or every month to spend it everyday. if you have money by no time to spend your money is valueless. On the other hand if you have time but no money in your pocket then your time would be valueless.
Different chapters of my career have dictated different answers. Today, I remain more motivated by increasing my R&R time. I turn down clients and choose my subjects carefully. I will delete hubs that I start and I will turn down travel when my schedule gets too hectic.
Having stated that - my pension is solid and that has provided me the luxury of valuing time more than money.
It is always TIME is more valuable to me or my family.
Once time is over, it cannot be brought back (unless we succeed in Time-travel?).
So, we value each moment that we can spend as a family together. It is very precious with the amount of time we have with our families.
time!! because time IS money! and I never have time which is why I never have enough money
Time is so much more valuable because being with your family and friends and visiting, talking, just hanging out, having that time together is so precious!
There is an apocryphal deathbed quote attributed to Queen Elizabeth I which I believe sums up my feelings on the subject quite well:
"All my possessions for a moment of time."
Both equally important in my life. If I were too rich, I would say time. If I were too young, I would say money. I am middle aged, median wage earner. I guess I am at inflection point. We can trade off money and time in some degree. My commuting takes long time, I developed many strategy to use my time passing during commuting on the bus. So I use my tablet and cell phone efficiently. I wrote a hub dedicated to "how to use your time productively while commuting"
Time is most important for me. Because we can earn money by doing a hardwork but friends we never bring back once after we lost our time
Both are equally important as for making money you need time. But now-a-days the priorities of the people changes they value money; they want money by hook or by crook as they think that if they had money they will have wonderful time. I totally agree with them as now-a-days if you have money you can live a luxurious life you can buy everything you want but at the same time while making money you had lost all your peace & joyful time as to make money is a tough job as similar as the judicious use of time.
But to entrepreneurs (and philanthropists) the money is a by-product of the game they're playing. They love what they do, find peace and joy in making money and watching businesses grow, and to them investing in business is a good use of time.
Ya you are right but many a times due to competition between the entrepreneurs they will loose all their peace & joy. they no longer enjoyed it as they get frustrated with their work. it's enjoyable only when they get benefited.
How can money buy time? Time can buy money, because with time, you can work for money. However, no matter how much money you will have, there is no way that you can buy time, just like a commodity, a product, or a service. Time is heavenly, while money is materialistic. Nature will not coexist with human's invention.
In today's words time is money.. so we should give importance to time..
I long for more time but if I quit working I wouldn't have time or money.
Time. Both are temporary privileges in life; While money comes and goes during our span, time will always be there at the very moment we are born until the end, that is, at the time of silent death.
However after watching that movie "In Time", I realize how literal time = money. No one wants to waste either, as they are practically the same thing nowadays.
Easy, time. Because it's the only thing I don't have enough of. I mean, I don't have any money - no savings at least, and I live from paycheck to paycheck as it were. But I can afford to eat and keep a roof over mine and my children's heads. I'm one of those people who would like to be immortal - but then I suppose, relatively, time would move more quickly anyway, and it would still seem too short.
Why would I want more money? I'd only spend it.
Though I spend most of my time trying to make money, it's because I feel that with enough money I'll have more time. Pretty ironic. I definitely think time is more valuable. I'm not aiming to be rich or anything. Just make enough to be comfortable while not sacrificing too much time to make it.
time. you make more money if you know how to manage and make use of your time.
Time for sure. It would not matter if I had millions of dollars if I only had a few minutes to live. So if I were offered a choice, I would take time. A few more minutes to say or do something for someone would be amazing.
Easy- Lady E,
Time.. you cant make more time- Theoretically you can always make more money...TH takes victory lap... pulls shoulder muscle patting self on back...TH
It's a close call.
Overall, I'd say time is more important to me, but since money can be used to free up more time and buy the things (books, tools) that help me to improve my time and make it more meaningful, there's a balance to be had here
Time.. you can have precious moments by having enough time for yourself and for your loved ones. No amount of money can ever buy those moments, nor bring back the time to have the chance of experiencing them.
Time! In relations to work, we all spend the majority of our lives at work and very few with our families or doing things we would truly like to do for ourselves. I value my time. No matter how much money you have you can never regain time. If you are talking about receiving overtime versus comp-time. I always prefer time. When you get paid overtime, the government always take approx. 22% percent. If I earn too much overtime, it will boost my income and cause me to pay even more taxes at the end of the year.
Every thing in this universe is relative. Accordind to relativity it depend on condition Ma'm For ex. In exam times "TIME" In holidays Money.
For earn money online go through "http://www.onlinejobsfree.com/?id=995160 "
the time ticks life away...- linkin park
well of course time.. with time we can make money but money cannot buy time..
Time,I cherish the time I have with my family ,friends,and days on this earth.Money, living in this world if you don't have money,you struggle,and I don't want to struggle. But family is everything. Timed.

عنوان مقاله [English]
The expansion of car life and the ever-increasing traffic in cities and roads in the last half century, in contrast to the number of accidents and road accidents, have made the issue of safety in the field of traffic become one of the most fundamental issues and challenges of the road transport sector. . The importance of the role of traffic safety in the discussions of road transport planning and Iran's position among the countries with the highest number of deaths due to accidents caused the present research to achieve a principled, accurate and codified planning with an emphasis on documentary sources and The statistical data of the Road Traffic and Road Transport Organization during the periods of 2012, 2011 and 2010 measures the level of development of the country's provinces in the field of road safety and traffic. This survey, which was carried out with the aim of explaining the position of each province in the country in the field of road safety and traffic, is an applied research that uses the analytical descriptive method and the use of spss, excel software, fuzzy TOPSIS techniques and cluster analysis. Hierarchy tries to evaluate and analyze the available data. The research findings indicate that in terms of development in the field of road safety and traffic, there is a deep gap between the provinces of the country. As the findings prove this, among the provinces of the country, only Tehran province is in a very developed condition in terms of safety, and 16 provinces are in the ranks of deprived areas, and 4 provinces, Khuzestan, Kohkiloye and Boyer Ahmad, South Khorasan and Kerman are among the regions. They are very deprived. The analysis also shows that the provinces of Qom, Alborz, Mazandaran, Lorestan and Zanjan are in the Jirga of developed provinces and the provinces of Golestan, Markazi, Semnan, Hamedan and Qazvin are in the category of moderately developed regions. spent for road safety is not only a cost but also considered a sustainable investment and therefore in order to achieve the desired development and remove the huge number of deprivations in the field of road safety and traffic, while paying attention to the special natural conditions of the regions, the current situation Review and according to the length of roads covered by each province, spatial planning should be done to increase the quantity and quality of resources and standardize indicators. | <urn:uuid:1cbc769d-c6a3-40c4-aaa6-9588b3586728> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://mag.iga.ir/article_253495.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.933994 | 554 | 2.734375 | 3 |
Signs and Mysteries: Revealing Ancient Christian Symbols
July 12 @ 2:00 pm – 2:30 pm EDT
In this book, author Mike Aquilina conducts an intriguing and insightful tour of the symbols that expressed the life and devotion of the Church through the first four centuries of its existence. He explains how Christians freely borrowed pagan and Jewish symbols, giving them new, distinctly Christian meanings.
Signs and Mysteries will help you recover the zeal of our spiritual ancestors as you learn to read their symbolic language — and discover the impact the symbols still have on your life today.

“And if you look to your left, you can see Episcopius Naomi IV give her victory speech after the Talmudic Wars. The Talmudic Wars lasted five years. Fifteen percent of the LaRoccan population was wiped out and a great number of those were civilians who starved to death.”
The chariot keeps rolling along the track and the hologram tour guide points out the next attraction. Inside the chariot, or, more accurately, on the bottom, are Jorge and Alva. They are engaged in carnal acts not suitable for the history museum they’re currently touring.
“Next, we have the visage of Episcopius Naomi V, daughter of Naomi IV. She would go on to start the second Talmudic Wars when a section of text in the good book sparked an argument of interpretation. This time, ten percent of the remaining population would die.”
With their legs intertwined, Jorge and Alva are panting and sweating. Alva rubs the sore from where she took the serum. Three red dots had sprung up in the area, but this was a good sign.
The hologram, STACY—an acronym for a series of boring engineering terms—wears a smile. Her clothes change to match the era she’s discussing. Her voice is cheerful, like a preschool teacher. It is as though she’s a PR person for the planet. “And now we enter the era in LaRoccan history known as ‘Pax Di Epoch’ or ‘God’s Peace.’ The wars had ended, and for the first time in LaRoccan history, the planet was united. It lasted for a decade and saw over twenty-five percent of the population killed through famine and disease.”

In this article, we will discuss the powers and functions of the President in a simple and easy way, and try to understand its various important aspects,
So to understand well, definitely read this article till the end and also read other articles related to this topic.
The image of the President is like that of a venomous snake, but this is not entirely true. The President also has a lot of powers, which if he uses it properly, he does not look weak at all. So let’s explore the powers of the President.
Powers of President
The powers of the President are mainly carried out through the following 7 components –
1. Executive powers 2.
Legislative powers 3.
Financial powers 4.
Judicial powers 5.
Diplomatic powers 6.
Military powers 7
. Emergency powers
1. Executive powers
The President has the following executive powers and other related functions.
Article 53 – Executive power of the Union
Article 53 states that all the executive powers of the Union shall be vested in the President, that is why all the work related to governance is done in the name of the President.
If we see from the point of view of the President, even if there is a government of any party at the center, but from the constitutional point of view, it is the government of the President.
Article 77 – Conduct of business of the Government of India
Under Article 77 , the President has the power to make such rules so that all orders made in the name of the President are legally valid. At the same time, he should also make such rules so that the central government can work smoothly and the said work can be easily distributed to the ministers.
Article 75 – To appoint the Prime Minister and other ministers
We all know that the public chooses only the MP. Not the Prime Minister or other ministers. The MP of the majority party chooses its leader. Who is appointed by the President to the post of Prime Minister. The Prime Minister chooses other ministers and this too is appointed by the President.
This means that the Prime Minister and other ministers work during the pleasure of the President. That is, the President can also remove the Prime Minister if he wants.
This does not mean that the President can remove the Prime Minister at any time, only when the President feels that the Prime Minister has lost his majority.
Article 76 – Appointment of Attorney General and to fix his salary etc.
That is, the Attorney General of India also acts in his office during the pleasure of the President and receives such remuneration as the President may determine.
Not only this, the President also appoints the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG), Chief Election Commissioner and other Election Commissioners, Chairman and members of Union Public Service Commission, State Governors, Chairman and members of Finance Commission etc.
Article 78 – Duties of the Prime Minister in relation to giving information to the President, etc.
It is clearly written in Article 78 that if the President asks for any information related to the administrative and legislative related to the executive of the Center, then it will be the duty of the Prime Minister to make it available in front of the President.
Another thing is mentioned in this article that – if a decision has been taken by a minister but the Council of Ministers has not considered it, then in such a situation, if the President says, then that decision will have to be placed before the Council of Ministers for consideration.
The President can appoint a commission for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes.
Along with this, he can declare any area as a Scheduled Area. He also has the powers of administration of scheduled areas and tribal areas.
Article 263 – To appoint an Inter-State Council for cooperation between the Centre-State and the various States
If the President feels that the public interest will be served by the establishment of such a council, then he can by his order establish such a council. We had also read in the article on inter-state relations that the President has constituted many such councils in the past. such as – ? Central Health Council, ? Central Local Government and Urban Development Council etc.
He directly handles the administration of the Union Territories through administrators appointed by him.
The rules and regulations of Union Territories are usually made by the President. The President has a lot of privileges in this matter. For example, a law made by the Parliament comes into force in the Union Territory only after the assent of the President. And if the President wants, he can also make some changes in it.
2. Legislative powers
Along with Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, the President is also an integral part of the Indian Parliament and has the following legislative powers:-
The President can call a sitting of Parliament and address the first session of Parliament after each new election.
The President can call a sitting of Parliament, adjourn the Parliament for some time and can also dissolve the Lok Sabha. Now we have also read above that since the Prime Minister works during the pleasure of the President and the President can also remove the Prime Minister. Now when the Prime Minister is removed, the Lok Sabha will be dissolved.
The President addresses the first session of the Parliament after the election. At the same time, he also addresses the first session of the Parliament every year.
He can call a joint session of the Parliament which is presided over by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha.
When it is very important to pass a bill but it is a bit difficult to get it passed separately from both the houses, then the President can call both the houses together if he wants. This is what is called a joint session .
This is a very rare case. Since 1950, joint sittings of both the houses have been called only thrice. The bills which were passed during this joint sitting are: 1. Dowry Prohibition Bill 1960 2. Bank Service Commission Bill 1977 3. Prevention of Terrorism Bill 2002.
He can send a message to the Parliament in respect of any Bill pending in the Parliament or in any other respect.
If the posts of both the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha are vacant, he can delegate the presidency of the House to any member of the Lok Sabha.
Similarly, if both the posts of the Chairman and the Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha are vacant, he can delegate the presidency of the House to any member of the Rajya Sabha.
He nominates 12 members to the Rajya Sabha from amongst persons who are associated or knowledgeable in literature, science, art and social service.
The recommendation or permission of the President is necessary for the introduction of certain types of bills in the Parliament.
Certain bills cannot be introduced in the Parliament without the permission of the President. For example, a bill relating to expenditure from the Consolidated Fund of India or a bill relating to change of boundaries of states or creation or creation of a new state.
If you have seen the entire exercise of abrogation of Article 370 in Parliament, then you will remember that Amit Shah had already taken permission from the President. Only then the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Bill could be introduced in the Parliament.
When a bill is passed by the Parliament and sent to the President, three things happen.
1. He gives his assent to the Bill, 2. He reserves his assent to the Bill, or 3. He returns the Bill (if it is not a Money Bill) to Parliament for reconsideration.
However, if the Parliament re-passes the bill with or without amendment, the President has to give his assent.
When a bill passed by the state legislature is reserved by the Governor for the consideration of the President, three things happen.
, 1. Gives his assent to the Bill, ? 2. reserves its assent to the bill, or ? 3. Instructs the Governor to return the Bill (if it is not a Money Bill) to the State Legislature for reconsideration.
It is to be noted that if the state legislature sends the bill again for the assent of the President, the President is not bound to give assent. Whereas, in the case of the center, the President is bound to give his assent. Do remember this.
He can issue ordinances during the prorogation of Parliament.

Herniated Disc Treatment Oakville
Herniated plates can be very difficult if the condition is not monitored or treated. At Physio Wellness, we provide the treatment of the best-herniated plate to our patients. Our specialists decrease the distress and pain of our patients with the help of other therapies including osteopathy, physiotherapy, and chiropractic care.
WHAT ARE THE HERNIATED DISC OR PLATES?
The spinal segment consists of intervertebral plates that support spinal flexion. Plates similarly contribute to the tangible results from different developments. If loads are more prominent than plates can manage, they can grow herniated expanded swelling and tension in the spinal cord.
WHAT CAUSES OF HERNIATED PLATES?
Herniated plates arise from changing and promoting development. Areas of bending and lifting weights on the spine and plates. If the back muscles are defective, the plate may slip, break, or tear, beginning herniation.
The normal development of bowing and lifting creates a general “wear and tear” as we begin to tighten and can create modest circles. Another common cause of boring development is when the muscles are not strong enough to keep the plates suspended.
WHAT ARE COMMON SYMPTOMS OF HERNIATED DISCS?
Some of the general signs of herniated discs are includes:
Soreness and pain of the intervertebral disc
Compressed nerves can produce discomfort in the neck, arms, legs, feet, and hands.
Torture back to the place where the gathering took place.
Muscles are equal when walking, twisting, lifting, or twisting.
Extreme bending, sitting, moving, and lifting of objects.
Muscle spasms when moving, turning, lifting, or bending.
The signs you may find may change depending on the position of the herniated circle. For example, a herniated plate in the below back region can produce below back discomfort, such as illness in the legs and feet.
HOW DO HERNIATED DISKS USE?
Specific tests of an osteopath, alignment specialist, and physiotherapist are normally completed. Throughout the test, the various parts of the spine will be physically touched and felt. To discover the area of a herniated disc, an MRI or CT scan may be completed.
WHAT IS THE GENERAL MANAGEMENT OF HERNIATED DISC?
The most general management of herniated disc involves:
- Hot and cold treatments will improve to decrease redness and soreness.
- Manual control of the damaged region to reduce anxiety and tension.
- Muscle-strengthening activities help to heal and stop future herniated discs problems.
- Train yourself with your health so that you can easily get the problems, how to stop further damages during healing, and how to deal with preventing future herniated disc problems.
At Physio Wellness, treatment of herniated plates is tailored to the specific demands and conditions of the patient. Our health specialists urge our patients to play an active role in making their treatment systems.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO BETTER HEALTH?
The period of treatment will be based on the severity of the damage affected by the herniated plate. Recovery from real herniated plates may take some time. For small herniated plates, they may require half a month.
Most people similarly will benefit from continued consideration after recovery to prevent prolonged exposure and may also develop herniated discs and back issues.
ARE HERNIATED DISCS COVERED BY HEALTH BENEFITS PLANS?
Herniated circle medications are regularly covered with a wide range of medical benefits, injury prevention, and WSIB. We would be happy to talk about your choice of careful protection.

Arms Trade Treaty signing ceremony, New York, USA, 3rd June 2013 © Amnesty International
This achievement is a truly historic breakthrough. It shows what is possible when human rights campaigners dig in for the long haul and work relentlessly to turn a good idea into a lifesaving reality around the world
22 December 2014
The global Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) enters into force on 24 December, marking a breakthrough for human rights after more than two decades of campaigning by Amnesty International and its NGO partners around the world.
For the first time, there is a treaty that explicitly embeds the human rights implications of each arms sale into every transfer.
Amnesty International and its supporters have lobbied and campaigned relentlessly for an ATT since the mid-1990s. As the first-ever legally binding treaty of its kind, it will block the flow of arms to governments that would use them to commit atrocities.
“This achievement is a truly historic breakthrough. It shows what is possible when human rights campaigners dig in for the long haul and work relentlessly to turn a good idea into a lifesaving reality around the world,” said Salil Shetty, Amnesty International’s Secretary General.
“When Amnesty International activists were among a small group of people who first proposed regulating the irresponsible international arms trade in the early 1990s, some even mocked the idea. Two decades on, the treaty now becomes a legally binding reality: a testament to their hard work, creativity and sheer determination.”
At least half a million people die every year on average and millions more are injured, raped and forced to flee from their homes as a result of the poorly regulated global trade in weapons and munitions. The arms trade is shrouded in secrecy, but the recorded value of international transfers is approaching USD$100 billion annually.
The ATT includes a number of robust rules to stop the flow of arms to countries when it is known they would be used for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes or serious violations of human rights law. Governments that are part of the ATT will now have to carry out objective assessments to avoid an overriding risk that an arms export would be used to commit those atrocities.
Five of the top 10 arms exporters – France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK – are among the 60 states around the world to have already ratified the ATT. The USA, by far the largest arms producer and exporter, is among 70 other countries that have signed but not yet ratified the treaty. Other major arms producers like China, Canada and Russia have resisted signing or ratifying the treaty.
Amnesty International will continue to press for all states to get on board the ATT and begin strictly implementing its lifesaving provisions. The organisation’s supporters around the world will call on the USA, China and countries in every region of the world to ratify the ATT in the next year.
“The work does not stop here, and we will not rest on our laurels. While the Arms Trade Treaty sets key ground rules for the global arms trade, it is not a panacea. It will require even more widespread support and pressure to ensure states strictly adhere to its principles,” said Salil Shetty.
“There must be a clear commitment by states that this will not be business as usual. People around the world have suffered enough because of the reckless arms trade. Governments owe it to them to back up their commitment with action.”
Since the early 1990s Amnesty International has campaigned with NGO partners to achieve robust, legally binding, global rules on international arms transfers to stem the flow of conventional arms and munitions that fuel atrocities and human rights abuses. More than a million people around the world joined the campaign, calling on governments to agree a strong ATT with robust rules to protect lives.
On 2 April 2013, a total of 155 states voted in the UN General Assembly to adopt the ATT. Before it could enter into force, 50 states had to ratify the treaty, bringing it into their national law. This happened on 25 September 2014 – a very swift turnaround for a UN treaty.
Amnesty International has continued to document and expose irresponsible arms transfers that facilitate grave abuses.
This includes: planned shipments of arms from the USA to Iraq, where the organization has documented serious human rights abuses being committed in recent months; a massive Chinese shipment of arms and ammunition to conflict-ridden South Sudan, where Amnesty International has documented war crimes and crimes against humanity; along with a range of countries supplying small arms and light weapons to Honduras, a country which according to UN statistics has the highest homicide rate in the world.

As the world is grappling with coronavirus, the process of home buying or mortgage is witnessing a change. With slight changes in applying for a mortgage, a lot has changed about getting a mortgage, especially during COVID-19. Mortgage rates have become volatile, longer waiting times; the buying process has lost its velocity.
To make it a smooth process, providers have become more online friendly; from touring a place to closing the deal, digital has become the new trend in the mortgage industry.
Coronavirus has supposedly affected each Canadian’s life – postponing vacations, managing finances, working from home, dealing with stress and anxiety, and dawdling the home buying process.
What to do, how to manage during Covid battle?
There haven’t been many clear answers to these.
Whether you are a first-time homebuyer or fourth, changes in the process, canceled open houses, fluctuating interest rates Covid has left people bamboozled. Some have even postponed their buying or mortgage process.
For those who decide to proceed with the process, there are extra considerations as most have been affected financially by the global pandemic.
Here is everything to know before getting a mortgage during Covid time;
1. Start the process Early.
Since the process is taking longer than usual, it is wise to initiate the process early; else, you might have to face long waits.
With dropping or slashing rates, lenders have received a sizable number of refinancing applications. Moreover, many employees are working from home, which can further hinder the process.
So, it is better to start early to kick things off.
2. Check your credit report
Credit reporting agencies in Canada maintain a credit report which has a credit history and credit score.
A healthy credit score is 700 and above and showcases creditworthiness. It helps the lender in determining your credit limit and interest rate. Due to pandemic or COVID 19, it is wise to scan your credit report/ score regularly. If you have accumulated a lot of debt or have become jobless, or missed your monthly payments due to the pandemic, your credit score might have dropped. So make sure to rebuild your credit score (by maintaining monthly payments, paying off the debt, keeping credit balance below 35%) before applying for a mortgage.
3.Pay Off The Debts.
Apart from credit score, lenders also consider the Total Debt Service (TDS) ratio, which should be less than 42% before determining your mortgage amount. Make sure to clear all the debt you might have taken during the pandemic, to drive up your TDS ratio, thereby increasing your chance of approval of mortgage application.
4. Scrutinize Your Budget
Covid-19 has undoubtedly taught us the actual worth of many simplest things of life, like steady income, a house, food, comfort.
Before applying for a mortgage, it is vital to have a good look at the budget and scrutinize it, considering something worse happens. Like if you and your spouse lose your respective jobs, will you both be able to afford monthly mortgage payments? If yes, then for how long? In the era of COVID-19, it is imperative to examine, evaluate the actual financial potential or budget for a new home.
The ideal thing would be to lower the maximum purchase price, pay off the pending debts, give a bigger down payment, and stock some emergency fund.
It is always essential to hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.
5. Ask for video and virtual tours
As a precaution to prevent the spreading of COVID-19, many companies are providing video or virtual tours of the houses.
Thankfully, in the era of digitalisation, apart from pictures, you can request for digital tours, live chats for a better experience.
Companies today are producing panoramic 3D tours of the house which will give to an authentic or real experience. It is an incredible technology for complete house tours without actually visiting the property. This technology has gained popularity since the advent of pandemic and is a boon for buyers and sellers.
6.Secure Reliable Employment
Before COVID-19, secure, steady employment was crucial for a mortgage, and even during the pandemic, it continues to be so.
Without a full-time regular job, your mortgage application needs to be put on hold. Pandemic has led to massive lay-offs; if that is your case, have a secured career for at least six months and then move ahead with the mortgage application.
7.Avoid Applying for New Credit
Another critical aspect that is essential to keep in mind before applying for a mortgage includes a good credit score and no recent credits. As current extra credit can signal financial instability, giving a red flag to the lenders. Managing new credit during a pandemic can be challenging due to a shortage of funds, periods of unemployment, and lower wages.
So, either avoid applying for any new credit or put your application on hold if you require extra credit, as it can become more challenging during the pandemic.
The procedure of home buying is not very different from pre-covid times. It is just that more work has become online, management of finances has changed, rates have become volatile.

Even though the expression “baby skin” is used to describe soft skin, it doesn’t mean that babies are immune to skin issues. Actually, some chronic skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis are quite common and usually appear in the first months of the baby’s life. Read on to learn more about this skin condition and, most importantly, to learn how to select the best skin care products to manage it with ease.
Atopic dermatitis vs eczema: what’s the difference?
“Atopic dermatitis” and “eczema” are two terms that are often used interchangeably, but they are ever so slightly different.
Eczema refers to an inflammation of the skin, usually characterized by symptoms like dryness, redness, itchiness, tightness… the list goes on.
Atopic dermatitis, sometimes referred to as AD, is a common type of eczema; or, if you’d like, a common cause of eczema (i.e. inflammation of the skin). It’s a chronic condition that typically appears in the first six months of a baby’s life, and it can be managed with appropriate skincare. Some children may outgrow it and reach adulthood with no symptoms at all; others will have flare-ups well into their adult years. Where there’s atopic dermatitis, there’s dry skin, unbalanced microbiome, compromised skin barrier as well as occasional itchiness. This is where targeted skincare for atopic skin comes in.
If you’re at all familiar with skincare products for atopic dermatitis, you may have also come across the terms “atopic skin” or “atopy-prone skin”. You can think of these as industry terms that indicate that a product is suitable, or indeed targeted, for skin that is affected by atopic dermatitis.
Find the best soothing & repairing products for baby atopic skin
Atopic skin cleansing
A delicate skin cleanse is a very important step of daily care of atopic skin. A gentle cleanse leaves the skin free from impurities and bad bacteria, preventing further irritation and damage. It is the very first step that helps minimize tightness, discomfort, and bring skin back to balance. These fragrance-free cleansers are ideal to begin a soothing routine for the atopic skin of the baby!
You may choose Bioderma Atoderm Huile de Douche Ultra-Nourishing Shower Oil to cleanse the atopic skin of the whole family! More than a comforting oil-gel texture, it contains Skin Barrier Therapy™, a patent that works to limit Staphylococcus aureus proliferation and colonization (as it is usually augmented in atopic-prone skin). Featuring the same patent, Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Pain Ultra-Soothing Cleansing Bar is the one to call if you fancy a cleansing bar over a liquid texture.
Are you looking for a range exclusively developed for babies? Then you should try Mustela Stelatopia Cleansing Oil Atopic Skin Fragrance-Free. This oil transforms the bath time into a comforting and pleasant experience for the baby! Suitable for the face, body and hair, it instantly soothes discomfort and does not irritate the eyes.
Atopic skin care
After a good and gentle cleanse, the skin is now more than ready for some replenishing and nourishing care. And, don’t forget, it is essential to use formulas that are tailor-made for atopic-prone skin! They’ll help to attenuate and control dryness and itching as well as flaking and redness.
Searching for a multi-purpose cream for babies that suits the face as well as the skin of the body? Then Uriage Baby 1st Anti-Itch Soothing Oil Balm is the perfect one for you. It presents a nourishing balm texture that comforts, soothes and protects dry and atopic-prone skin with illipe and shea butter.
If you need atopic care for the whole family, then take a look at A-Derma Exomega Control Emollient Cream. This formula features 95% of ingredients of natural origin and an extra-rich texture that provides the skin with lasting comfort. Thanks to patented Rhealba® oat plantlet extract and BioVect®, the formula soothes the skin and reduces irritation. In addition, Filaxerine® and Vitamin B3 contribute to restoring the skin’s hydrolipidic barrier.
More exposed to external aggressions, facial skin may need extra protection and care. If you’re willing to find a facial cream that controls dryness, flaking, itching and redness all the while promoting a healthy skin barrier, then ISDIN Nutratopic Pro-AMP Facial Cream is the one for you. It not only contains ceramides, glycerin and shea butter to help nourishing and hydrating but also L-isoleucine and Rhamnosoft, to stimulate the production of antimicrobial peptides and prevent bacterial adhesion and infection.
Sun protection for atopic skin
Even though you’re not exposing baby skin to intense sun, it is incredibly important to protect the skin of the baby and prevent sun damage when they’re outside. However, your regular sunscreen isn’t an option, and you need one that’s targeted to their atopy. La Roche-Posay Anthelios Dermo-Pediatrics Hydrating Fluid SPF50+ presents a lightweight texture that delivers advanced protection for dry and atopic prone skin! Featuring Netlock Technology, it creates a protective shield that protects it from sun exposure while ensuring optimal resistance to humidity.
Much as it happens with adult atopic skin, less is more when it comes to skincare. Following the basics is the best thing you can do! Don’t forget to cleanse, hydrate and protect it from the sun to keep the skin balanced. Consult a healthcare professional for further help and personalized routines.

“Nyepi” means quiet and peaceful Bali’s new year celebration, usually in March or sometimes April – in silence. Nyepi is a word derived from the word Sepi that means quiet or peaceful. Balinese celebrate it on a dark moon “Tilem Kesanga”, annually in March or April. The rituals and celebrations span about a week and have a sequence:
- Melasti – procession, taking symbols representing the gods to the ocean or lake for cleansing
- Tawur Kesanga – offerings made at the cross roads
- Ngerupuk (OgohOgoh) – the display and procession of paper-mache/sponge/wire monsters, 2- 5 meters tall
- Nyepi – 24 hrs of silence; 6am-6am
- Ngembak Geni – visiting family or traveling
Melasti or Melis: 3-6 days (depending on each village) before Nyepi all the symbols of the personalities of the gods are carried in procession to the ocean, lake or spring for purification or cleansing before to celebrating the New Year. after cleansing they reside at the main temple until Ngerupuk Day (OgohOgoh).
Tawur Kesanga: balancing ritual and animal sacrifice is offered at the cross roads in each village. The philosophy is to harmonize the micro-cosmos with the macro-cosmos, neutralizing negative energy. The cross road symbolizes a vertical and horizontal meeting for humans with god, humans with animals and humans with plants. In the center, where the heart is – this where the balance begins.
Ngerupuk — OgohOgoh day from morning until midnight: The youth gather all day with gamelan and finishing the final touches on the huge OgohOgoh statues, made from bamboo, woven matting, paper-mache, and sponge. In the shapes of monsters, or scary negative symbols they are carried by young men with lots of noise and gamelan and dancing and fire works to the center of each village. In front of ogoh –ogoh the young women bring obor. Obor is a big burning torch made from bamboo and resin and coconut skin which lights the procession in the darkness until midnight.
- Amati Geni: no lights or fires or light
- Amati Karya: no work or other activities
- Amati Lelanguan: no fun
- Amati Lelungaan: no travelling
Ngembak Geni — day after Nyepi : Bali comes back normal again, so most Balinese visit family or tour someplace new. | <urn:uuid:f2fd640e-5fe9-402d-8de1-2584a9ba6b28> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.balisilentretreat.com/nyepi-means-quiet-peaceful/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.8897 | 557 | 2.765625 | 3 |
Mexican American writer and scholar Ilan Stavans says there's a reason why it's not uncommon to hear Latin Americans order “latkes con mole” (potato pancakes with Mexican chili and chocolate spice) at a restaurant, pick up some “postrom” (pastrami) at a neighborhood deli or butcher shop or occasionally call someone a “shmuk” instead of "idiot" or say “tengo que pishar” when they have to urinate.
The award-winning author, who grew up speaking Spanish and Yiddish in Mexico, teamed up with language expert Josh Lambert in a newly released book about the history of Yiddish in the North and South American continents.
How Yiddish Changed America brings together the perspectives of famous authors including Michael Chabon, Alan Alda, Grace Paley and Isaac Bashevis Singer, among others, to describe how Yiddish has left such an imprint on American life, promoted Jewish culture in the Americas and survived globally for centuries without the support of a government, an army or a language academy.
Roughly 2 million Yiddish-speaking Jews migrated from central and eastern Europe to North America between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. But while Americans may be more familiar with the Yiddish influence in the U.S. — we eat bagels and use the word "klutz" — most people don't know that thousands of Ashkenazi Jews also migrated to Argentina, Brazil and other Latin American countries. There, Yiddish is not only spoken today, but it's also influenced their culture, music and food.
For example, in 1930s Argentina, the singer and comedian Jevel Katz was affectionately called the “Jewish Gardel” by fans — where they compared him to the country's legendary tango singer, Carlos Gardel. Katz sang in Casteidish, telling sad and nostalgic diaspora stories about a lost love, a mother’s longing for a child and the nostalgia for Warsaw and other Eastern European places.
Stavans tells NBC News that because Yiddish is part of U.S. and Latin American history, it can teach valuable lessons about how a foreign language can not only survive but also thrive in different mainstream cultures.
"Their story can remind others how immigrant languages arrived to this country and how those immigrants remained loyal to them,” Stavans said.
Stavans explained that the Jewish language evolved into a hybrid language like Spanglish in the U.S., mixing Yiddish and Spanish words into “Casteidish” or “Yidañol.”
This fusion between Yiddish and mainstream Spanish helped Jews establish themselves in Latin America, also revealing how immigrant groups navigate living in-between competing identities as outsiders and insiders.
Stavans says that Yiddish began as a dialect in the 13th century around the Rhine River region in Germany, combining Hebrew and German. By the 19th century, it had already established itself as a standardized language for the entire Ashkenazi Jewish community — approximately 13 million speakers worldwide before World War II.
Today, UNESCO has classified Yiddish as an endangered language. Experts say that much of this decline is due to the Holocaust — the majority of the 6 million victims spoke Yiddish.
But Stavans urges speakers to ask themselves how and why Yiddish has survived so many centuries.
“Yiddish is always being said that it is in the process of dying. But it doesn’t die. It’s in an eternal state of agony. And this agony ends up becoming a source of renewal, a metaphor for the survival of the Jewish people,” he said. “It survived eight centuries and became standardized without a state, a flag, or a national anthem. And this is an incredible feat, proof of survival that a minority group can live in a country and have something that will travel beyond where they are right now.”
This is similar, Stavans says, to the way many U.S. Latinos continue to use Spanish as a way to preserve their identity, define their culture and if they're immigrants, endure in America.
“The question again is to what extent can a minority language survive when it is besieged so furiously by a dominant language?,” said Stavans. “English! English! English! Can Spanish really survive? But just like with Yiddish, I would twist the question to ask why has Spanish survived for so many generations while other languages like Italian, French, German, Swedish and Danish have declined and almost vanished in the United States." | <urn:uuid:c4d1ad7a-6718-4f0e-8825-50ba67da4fce> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/latkes-con-mole-postrom-sandwich-new-book-explores-yiddish-influence-n1119431 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.956438 | 975 | 2.90625 | 3 |
Watergate's legacy of public distrust taints once-smug Canadian governments.
by Geoffrey Stevens
It may seem like yesterday, but it was 40 years ago this summer that the notorious Watergate scandal burst on our consciousness.
I spent part of that summer of 1973 in Western Canada — in Vancouver for the Liberal (party) Conference on Western Objectives, in Winnipeg for the national NDP convention, and in Calgary for Pierre Trudeau’s much-hyped Western Economic Opportunities Conference (“WEOC,” to its friends). Does anyone out there remember WEOC? I thought not.
Some of the paranoia and passion for secrecy that were hallmarks of the Nixon White House have reached the Prime Minister’s Office.
The committee unpeeled layer after layer of official denial and evasion to lay bare a rich tale of deceit, cynicism, prevarication, criminality, misuse of political funds and obstruction of justice — a tale that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon the following summer.
Back then, Canadians felt a bit superior and just a tad smug. Compared to the Americans’, our government was open and transparent. We had no Richard Nixons, Spiro Agnews, John Mitchells or HR Haldemans. We had no “plumbers” or enemies’ lists or secret slush funds to finance unethical political activity. We didn’t delete or destroy tapes or records. Certainly, no one accused our leaders of lying.
We are not so smug these days. While I am not going to suggest Canada has sunk into Watergate muck, there are things going on here that evoke the odour of that great American scandal. At Queen’s Park, police are investigating two senior officials in the former McGuinty Liberal government who, ignoring their own rules about the preservation of records, deleted many emails dealing with that government’s politically expedient (and costly) decision to cancel two gas-fired hydro plants. They didn’t even bother to claim the deletions were an accident, as the Nixon people did in Watergate.
At Toronto City Hall, most of the political news features crackheads, thugs armed with iron pipes and the frantic search for an incriminating video. In Ottawa, we have a vote-suppression scheme called “robocall,” plus serial election spending scandals (just last week the chief electoral officer called for the suspension of two more Conservative MPs), not to mention an ever-deepening Senate expense scandal.
Some of the paranoia and passion for secrecy that were hallmarks of the Nixon White House have reached the Prime Minister’s Office. We learned last week of a secret fund, reportedly $1 million, that is controlled by the Stephen Harper’s chief of staff and used for partisan political purposes. We are not allowed to know what those purposes are, who contributed to the fund, whether they received tax credits for their contributions, and whether the donors were informed that their money was going into what may amount to a Watergate-style slush fund in the PMO.
We know that Nigel Wright, then the PM’s chief of staff, bailed out Conservative Senator Mike Duffy to the tune of $90,000 before investigations of the profligate senator could do more damage to the Conservative brand. The prime minister tells the country that Wright used his personal funds to help Duffy. That may be true. But if it is true, why does the PM not do what Opposition Leader Thomas Mulcair requests: arrange to let Parliament see Wright’s cheque?
The opposition, with some cause, doesn’t trust this prime minister. Opposition MPs will not believe the cheque exists until they see it. Until then, they will suspect that Wright dipped into the PMO slush fund he controlled to pay off the troublesome Duffy.
The legacy of Watergate was chronic suspicion, diminished faith in the political system and loss of trust in political leaders. That legacy has come to Canada.© Copyright 2013 Geoffrey Stevens, All rights Reserved.

Humanism is a system or a way of thinking that emphasizes the value, interests and dignity of human beings. Humanism is illustrated through Greek and Roman Art because the art of Greece and Rome are statues and figures of young nude warrior men and how their physique and body is idealized and supposed to look like.

What is humanism in Greek art?
What is “Humanism”? “In the simplest terms, ‘humanism’ refers to how Greek art and literature – and art and literature in that tradition- puts the human experience at the center of events, in contrast the Hebrews and Christians put God at that center” (Early Greek Humanism).
Why is humanism spoken of in Greek sculpture?
I enjoyed your response. Humanism is a system focused on the importance of humans rather than the supernatural matters. In the art of Ancient Greece it was used to show the embodiment of beauty even through war and death.
How is Greek architecture humanistic?
In Greeks philosophy, they sees human as the highest beings in the universe, this gave the Greeks an idea of using the human body dimension as a mathematical unit, this a philosophical concept is called Humanism. It was an significant factor contributed to ancient Greek architecture.
What is the concept of humanism?
Humanism is a democratic and ethical life stance, which affirms that human. beings have the right and responsibility to give meaning and shape to their own. lives. It stands for the building of a more humane society through an ethic based. on human and other natural values in the spirit of reason and free inquiry
What does humanism mean in art?
What Is Humanism? Humanism is a moral philosophy that drew inspiration from classical antiquity and had significant influence on the work of Italian Renaissance artists. As Europe emerged from the Middle Ages, painters, sculptors, and architects sought to return to the ideals of Classical Greek and Roman society.
Why was humanism important to the Greeks?
Humanism began in Greece around the 5th century BCE with the philosopher Protagoras. Protagoras once stated “Man is the measure of all things” he believed that man should set the standard as opposed to gods. Humanism to the Greeks was a way of life, they valued people above everything else.
What did the Humanists believe?
Humanists believe that human experience and rational thinking provide the only source of both knowledge and a moral code to live by. They reject the idea of knowledge ‘revealed’ to human beings by gods, or in special books.
What was the humanism movement?
Overview. Humanism, also known as Renaissance Humanism, was an intellectual movement embraced by scholars, writers, and civic leaders in 14th- and early-15th-century Italy. Humanism introduced a program to revive the cultural—and particularly the literary—legacy and moral philosophy of classical antiquity.
What is humanism and what part did it play in the Renaissance?
Humanism was a term invented in the 19th century to describe the Renaissance idea that directly studying the works of antiquity was an important part of a rounded education (but not the only part). The idea really took off that the ancient world had something very valuable to teach the people of the 15th century.
How does the Parthenon stand for humanism?
The Parthenon represents the Greek ideals of humanism, idealism, and rationalism. Humanism was important to the Greek culture because they believed focusing on human values were key to life. The cella frieze in the Parthenon reflects this way of thinking.
What are the main features of humanism?
The main features of humanism are given below.
- Humanism stressed on the individual skills.
- The Humanist thought had a very different idea of history.
- The establishment of the New Age would mark an end to the period of the supremacy of the Church.
- Humanism revived the classical Greek literature.
What are the different types of humanism?
There are four general types of humanism: liberal humanism, socialist humanism, and evolutionary humanism. We’ll cover how these three types of humanistic beliefs differ from one another, humanism meaning, and what the future of humanism looks like.
What are the principles of humanism?
The philosophy or life stance of humanism embraces human reason, ethics, social justice, and philosophical naturalism while specifically rejecting religious dogma, supernaturalism, pseudoscience, and superstition as the bases of morality and decision making. | <urn:uuid:ea731b15-bab4-422e-b377-78f7ef873070> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://elamarthistory.com/sculpture/question-what-is-humanism-in-greek-sculpture.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.955207 | 1,099 | 3.640625 | 4 |
Having access to modern resources online and by phone is critical for all members of the community, including low-income members. That’s why there are lifeline phone companies Oklahoma-based and other states offer to those most in need.
Lifeline phones were created by the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, to help provide low-income members with access to:
Monthly telephone service
Broadband Internet service
Bundled voice-broadband packages
Who Qualifies For Lifeline Phones?
There are various requirements for people that are in need of a lifeline phone. Most importantly, people need to make up to 135% of the poverty guidelines associated with their state and with the year they are applying.
This means they fall a bit over the poverty line, and are in need of income assistance. In addition, if someone qualifies for federal income assistance, they might also qualify for lifeline phones. This includes:
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
Federal Public Housing Assistance
Supplemental Security Income
Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit
Certain Tribal Programs
Why Getting a Lifeline Phone Matters During the Pandemic
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, of the 16.9 million people unemployed in July, 9.6 million were unable to work because their employers closed or lost business due to the pandemic.
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of people are struggling to stay connected. It’s helpful to reflect on the Lifeline program’s history, its relevance today, and how it helps people get and stay connected. The Lifeline program directly supports low-income households’ access to affordable — and in many instances no-cost — telecommunications services. It’s but one critical tool available to the federal government to help close the digital divide, a chasm that disproportionately impacts Black, Brown, and Indigenous peoples.
For these people, loss of income has led to hardships and stress. Fortunately, with the help of lifeline phone companies and other federal assistance programs, these people can still have access to the basic tools needed to communicate with their families, apply for jobs, and get updated information such as news.
Now, more than ever, it’s important for people to have access to their families and open lines of communication with the outside world, no matter their income levels. That’s why lifeline phone companies are crucial.

CONTEXT. The negative health consequences of postpartum depression are well documented, as are the benefits of breastfeeding. Despite the detailed research related to these maternal and infant health outcomes, the relationship between maternal mood and breastfeeding remains equivocal.
OBJECTIVE. A qualitative systematic review was conducted to examine the relationship between postpartum depressive symptomatology and infant-feeding outcomes.
METHODS. We performed electronic searchers in Medline (1966–2007), the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) (1982–2007), and Embase (1980–2007) by using specific key words. A hand search of selected specialist journals and reference lists of articles obtained was then conducted. Seventy-five articles were reviewed, of which 49 specifically provided data to be extracted related to postpartum depressive symptomatology and infant-feeding outcomes. Both authors independently extracted data including study design, participants (number and characteristics), and results.
RESULTS. The results from this review suggest that women with depressive symptomatology in the early postpartum period may be at increased risk for negative infant-feeding outcomes including decreased breastfeeding duration, increased breastfeeding difficulties, and decreased levels of breastfeeding self-efficacy. There is also beginning evidence to suggest that depressed women may be less likely to initiate breastfeeding and do so exclusively.
CONCLUSIONS. Depressive symptomatology in the postpartum period negatively influences infant-feeding outcomes. These findings have important clinical implications and support the need for early identification and treatment of women with depressive symptomatology. However, strategies to address help-seeking barriers are needed if women are to receive appropriate and timely treatment. Research to determine effective interventions to support depressed breastfeeding women is warranted. | <urn:uuid:c7be9335-6bc0-4bb6-86fb-e425853e7d48> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article-abstract/123/4/e736/71403/The-Relationship-Between-Infant-Feeding-Outcomes?redirectedFrom=fulltext | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.93763 | 348 | 2.171875 | 2 |
I read an article about cycling as a high activity to treat Parkinson’s Disease symptoms. So, I decided to dust off my road-bike and hit the roads.
The ride went well. I started early in the morning to avoid traffic and Florida strong winds.
Riding your bike in south Florida lacks uphills (other than overpasses), and the whole ride is pancake flat. However, headwind can make you feel like you are climbing up a mountain stage of the tour de France.
I went for about 20 miles at a relaxed pace and cadence. The goal is to get comfortable with the bike, saddle, and traffic. It has to be a stress-free ride to be enjoyable.
I saw, and I got passed by several cyclists along the A1A route. They were working together, drafting behind each other to avoid being worn out by the strong winds.
Done with the ride, I took a shower and had some breakfast. I didn’t feel any significant difference afterward as far as eased symptoms. Some sports or activities work better for some; for me, Roller skiing does it.
The sport of Roller Skiing
Roller skiing is off snow cross country skiing, and instead of skis, we use ski on wheels, called roller skis.
Roller skiing is as close as Cross country skiing gets. The only difference is that falling reminds you that you are not on snow.
The harmonious motion of switching your weight from side to side while keeping balance and rhythm is just relaxing. Meanwhile, you are getting a hell of a work out in.
As in cross country skiing, Roller skiing uses almost every muscle group in your body.
After roller skiing, I feel relaxed and healthier, I breath better, and my Parkinson’s Disease symptoms are under control without feeling sore from pounding, and overuse.
Give it a try! You need a pair of Roller Skis, a helmet, ski poles, and a smooth bike path to glide on. I roller ski in Central Park since it is my backyard. | <urn:uuid:6880a893-6d03-4fbd-b20e-162824ac060e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://winbylosing.org/2019/07/17/cycling-and-roller-skiing/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.968892 | 427 | 1.835938 | 2 |
The new study on Oumuamua by astronomers Yun Zhang and Douglas N C Lin does not rule out the hyperbolic asteroid’s alien nature, Harvard astrophysics and cosmologist Dr. Abraham 'Avi' Loeb suggests.
“This new paper leaves open the possibility of an artificial origin for Oumuamua because it cannot account for the required abundance of such objects by requiring a production region so compact around their parent star,” Loeb said, speaking to Express, when asked to comment on the paper.
In their study, Zhang and Lin carried out simulations and thermal modeling of Oumuamua, suggesting that the space rock was really a wedge-shaped piece of a dwarf planet that was smashed apart by the powerful gravitational forces of a distant star, which may have torn it into elongated fragments that were subsequently released into interstellar space.
At the same time, the scientists left open the exciting possibility that elements buried within the fragment’s surface, such as ice, could still be trapped within the asteroid. What’s more, Zhang and Lin don’t discount the possibility that a space shard like the Oumuamua could pick up life-sustaining matter as it zips across the universe, and that it could one day plant this matter within a planet, perhaps giving rise to new life.
However, Dr. Loeb insists that it’s too early to rule out the asteroid’s alien nature, given that it “exhibits many weird and unexpected properties that do not admit a simple natural explanation.” These properties, he says, have not been accounted for by the new research. “We should still keep an open mind about Oumuamua’s origins, he urged.
Furthermore, the Harvard astronomer said he was not entirely convinced by Zhang and Lin’s conclusions, owing to the “low abundance of tidally disrupted objects.”
“To account for Oumuamua as a member of a population of interstellar objects on random orbits, one needs each star to produce roughly a quadrillion (a thousand trillion) such objects, totaling roughly an Earth mass of rocky material per star. It is very unlikely that tidal disruption events will produce so many Oumuamua-like objects because these are rare events restricted to the region near a star, which is tens of millions of times smaller than the size of the planetary system around it,” he explained.
Loeb proposed the exciting theory that Oumuamua may in fact be an alien-designed carrier vessel in 2018, citing its apparent mysterious ability to change speed, a property that was observed as the asteroid transited our solar system. Together with his colleague Dr. Shmuel Bialy, Loeb suggested that this property could be an indication that the asteroid is equipped with a light sail - a propulsion technology dependent on radiation pressure, making it unlikely for it to have natural origins.
In any event, Dr. Loeb stresses that humanity faces immense risks – both natural catastrophes and man-made disasters, by putting all its “eggs…in one basket” on Earth and failing to do more to branch out into the stars. At the very least, he believes, humanity should send out information about who we are and what we care about as a species into the solar system. This, he says, “would be as precious as the development of Gutenberg’s printing press was for preserving copies of the Bible” was in its own time. | <urn:uuid:3513e094-a955-4c78-bdf8-941ab843ebbe> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://sputniknews.com/20200418/new-oumuamua-study-does-not-rule-out-its-alien-nature-harvard-astrophysicist-says-1079011858.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.962786 | 737 | 3.328125 | 3 |
Nigel Atkinson puts Turnbull in context
It used to be a shibboleth amongst young, aspiring ordinands preparing to preach their first sermon that a text without a context is more often than not a pretext for the preacher to give full vent to his idiosyncratic views and personal opinions. Whilst this watchword applies most especially to the exegesis of Scripture it is also a good rule to apply to any text or document that one may happen to be reading. For it is only when one has a full historical grasp of the context in which any text is operating that it is possible to appreciate the full implications of what is being said. And this applies just as much to Turnbull as to any thing else. Read in this light Turnbull can be shown to be the crowning achievement of centralisation and the well nigh absolute concentration of power in the hands of the Episcopate. What Synod will have to decide is whether they want so much power to be so consolidated in so few hands.
Lest anyone thinks that I may be exaggerating, it may be salutary to consider the trend over the past thirty years. As is well known the parishes and the clergy of the Church of England had inherited the privilege of robust, vigorous independence. During the Middle Ages the Church knew what it was like to suffer at the hands of powerful prelates and at the Reformation care was taken to ensure that the Episcopate, shorn of its great wealth, was kept under control primarily by the Monarch but also by the ancient right of the freehold, that was studiously retained and which ensured that the clergy would not be open to the machinations of Machiavellian Bishops.
More recently, however, great changes have been introduced, brought about by legislation initially in the Church Assembly and more latterly in the General Synod. To be sure, some of these changes have been undoubtedly necessary, brought about by the exigency of the times as the Church loses the confidence of the laity and contracts accordingly. But other changes have also been introduced, often on the pretext of necessity but with no real or obvious need being demonstrated. Whatever the case, both types of change had a general tendency to deprive the parish and its incumbent of responsibility and to centre it in the diocese, which effectively means in the Bishop.
The first of these legislative changes was brought about by the Pastoral Measure of 1968, which was revised in 1983. This gave the Bishop wide ranging powers to combine parishes, either under a single incumbent or into a team, as well as the ability to declare churches redundant and to suspend the patron’s right of presentation for a renewable period of up to five years, during which time the Bishop appoints a priest in charge without the security or protection of the freehold. The direct effect of this is to deprive parishioners with any real sense of responsibility for the well being of their parish reducing them to mere pawns and helpless spectators of the ravages taking place in front of their very eyes. Needless to say the diocese has inevitably become to be regarded as the enemy of the local parish.
Eight years later came the second great legislative change. The was the Endowments and Glebe Measure of 1976, which deprived parishes of their accumulated resources in terms of money, land and buildings, given (more often than not) by local benefactors grateful for the ministry (not of the diocese or of the Bishop) but for the resident local parish priest and his resident local people. It must be borne in mind that many parishes resisted their spoliation tooth and nail. In one of my parishes the Churchwarden showed me the red hot correspondence that took place between the parish and the diocese over this very issue and he used to point out to me with great pride and joy the two fields that they had managed to keep under their control and from which they still enjoy an annual return. Whatever the arguments might have been in favour of this Measure (and there were some compelling ones) the important consideration was the effect that this had on the parish. In short this was one more piece of massive centralisation which allowed the diocese to impoverish a parish and then declare it not viable so seeking to make it redundant under the Pastoral Measure already in place. Naturally this was a tremendous breach of trust with local donors, who now are most reluctant to leave anything to their parish in the fear that the money will be seized by the rapacious diocese and be used in less than edifying ways. As Turnbull itself confessed “the present generation of churchgoers is not endowing the Church as past generations did”. Of course not, for once again the diocese had come to be seen as the enemy.
The third piece of legislation came some ten years later in the form of the 1986 Benefices Measure. Having totally dominated the parishes in terms of pastoral care and finance there was still one obstacle in the way that had to be removed. The Benefices Measure was the culmination of a long standing attempt (dating back to the Partners in Ministry proposals of 1967) to virtually abolish the patronage system by centralising all patronage in a diocesan committee, the Chairman of which would have been none other than (you guessed it!!) the Bishop himself. Needless to say many Patrons were not as trusting as many parishes (having no doubt been bloodied in their attempts to keep some semblance of control) and so eventually the Bishops had to content themselves by keeping patronage as it is and simply curbing the patron’s power by a double veto either by the Bishop or by the parish. Inevitably these unnecessarily extended the life of vacancies in those parishes that had not been suspended already, for it must be remembered that patronage had already in effect been abolished in suspended parishes. All this effort went into gaining control of the patronage of those parishes that had not already been crippled by suspension; so it gives some indication of the determination that exists to reduce the independence of the parishes, curbing it under the hands of a powerful Episcopate.
Ten years down the road and we are confronted by Turnbull and it is in this overall historical context that Turnbull must be read. For Turnbull is nothing if not the climax of the trend towards centralisation that we have been tracing over the past thirty years. And yet it seems as if even the hierarchy are dimly aware that they are taking a brazen and unprecedented step for, in self-justification, it is pathetically proclaimed that this one piece of massive reorganisation (that would cause all other the other pieces of legislative reorganisation to pale into insignificance) would enable the House of Bishops to give a proper lead. But, one has to ask, what would the effect of this be on the parishes and on the laity?
As we have seen each piece of legislation that we have been looking at has had the effect of reducing the influence of the laity in the Church and Turnbull is no exception. For example, although there is no doubt that the Church Commissioners needed to be reduced in size it must not be forgotten that they did valuable work in settling quasi-judicial disputes between parish, patron, parishioners and diocese. It was widely recognised that this work was done impartially and parishioners always felt that they had a friend in the Church Commissioners would could block any attempt to reorganise a parish if enough parishioners kicked up a fuss. But now Turnbull (naturally) wants these functions transferred to the National Council which has already been stuffed full with unallocated nominees so these quasi-judicial functions can now be forced through an already castrated Synod. Of course this is just in keeping with the whole thrust and tone of Turnbull. It really beggars belief that voice of the laity is being so arrogantly marginalised. Does the present Synod really believe that it would be good for the Church for its voice to be silenced? For, make no mistake, the will of the Synod, under Turnbull, would be subordinated to the proposed National Council which can form policy without hearing so much as a squeak from 99% of the Church. As has already been said, the role of the laity is being reduced to “turn up, pay up and shut up”.
Never has a report more patronised and insulted the laity of the Church of England. It must be looked at again. It took fifty years from the setting up of the old Church Assembly to the inauguration of the first General Synod. Massive structural changes like this need to be carefully considered and already a plethora of voices have been raised expressing concern. As the judicious Richard Hooker wrote “the change of lawes, especially concerning matter of Religion, must be warily proceeded in. Lawes, as all other things humaine, are many times full of imperfection, and that which is supposed behooful unto men, proveth often times most pernicious.” It is my conviction that Turnbull will prove to be “most pernicious”.

Remain hydrated throughout the day, using water rather than sports drinks. Eat light, balanced meals containing carbs, protein, and a small amount of fat. Have an early lunch and eat your dinner long before bedtime. Stick to foods that your body is used to.
Why is swimming first in a triathlon?
Swimming is the most hazardous of the three sports from a safety perspective. Most casualties in Triathlons are during this leg for quite obvious reasons: if you stop swimming, you drown. It’s, therefore, best to avoid a risk of drowning from exhaustion and it makes a lot of sense putting the swim leg first.
Should you rest before a triathlon?
Two days before the race Two days before your race is actually the most important night to sleep well, since most athletes will be too excited/nervous to get good sleep the night before. Try to use this as a rest day with very little walking or exertion. Eat the foods that you normally do.
Can I train for a triathlon in 4 weeks?
Realistically you’re looking at a sprint triathlon (750m/20km/5km). Not only will you need to get fit in four weeks, but you’ll need to learn some essential race skills too. Examples include running off the bike, swimming in open water and practising your transitions.
When should I stop strength training before a triathlon?
That’s fodder for future research—but even without an overshoot effect, these results add support to the idea that you can and probably should taper your strength training at least a week before a big race.
How much should you taper before a triathlon?
How much should I taper? The longer the race, the longer the taper. The rule of thumb is to take your weekly volume and drop that down by 20–25 percent for each week that you taper. While an Ironman race may warrant a month-long taper, a sprint triathlon may only require a few days.
When should I taper for an Ironman?
Most Ironman triathletes should begin reducing their training two weeks before race day. A second common tapering mistake is doing too little high-intensity training during the tapering period.
Should you train a week before a triathlon?
Many athletes will think that having a chilled week before your triathlon will lose fitness and hinder your performance but they would be wrong. Giving your body a break and less work to do is exactly what you want to do to give yourself the best chance at success.
Can you rest during a triathlon swim?
Yes, you are allowed to rest during the swimming segment of a triathlon. Any participant is allowed to rest anytime during a triathlon, or any event for that matter. Resting is vital to a participants health and safety when needed so it is important to stop and rest if need be.
What’s the best way to train for a triathlon?
If you’re not already going to the gym a few days a week, start your training with four weeks of doing some type of cardiovascular exercise two to three times a week, just to build your base. “As a beginner triathlete starts their training, I suggest doing two swims, two bikes and two runs per week,” says Ms.
How many hours a week does a pro triathlete train?
Common attributes of all professional triathletes’ training That said, the 4-6 hour training days for seven days a week she mentions in her book add up to a similar amount as Carfrae and Frodeno. And her typical week (see below) looks way beyond reach for mere mortals. | <urn:uuid:ef180c31-b24c-4341-869c-1afb6a39e0c6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://mpagbse.co.uk/sprint/how-long-to-rest-before-triathlon-solution-found.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572021.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814083156-20220814113156-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.93844 | 1,187 | 1.976563 | 2 |
Established in 1947 as Yaba Technical Institute, Yaba College of Technology holds the enviable distinction of being the first institution of higher education in Nigeria. The Yaba Higher College was established in 1934 to provide final stage training, leading to the production of assistants in the medical and engineering fields, and some other vocations.
In 1945, however, the Elliot Commission on higher education in West Africa recommended the conversion of Yaba Higher College into a Technical Institute, to produce the hundreds of technicians that the country’s economic development would require.
Following the acceptance of the Commission’s report by government, Yaba Higher College was closed down; and in its place, Yaba Technical Institute was established in 1947; while the students at Yaba Higher College, along with the classroom furniture and laboratory equipment, were transferred to Ibadan to form the pioneering group at the University College that took off in 1948. Thus, Yaba Technical Institute, Nigeria’s first higher education institution, charged with the responsibility of providing higher level of skills, commenced in the 1947/48 session.
In September 1963, The Yaba Technical Institute was renamed Yaba College of Technology, by the Rt. Hon. Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe, the then Governor-General of Nigeria. To learn more click below to visit the College website:

A survey of the fortifications on the Normandy Peninsula has recently been completed by the Chief Engineer, ETOUSA. This survey was made at the request of the Commanding General, Army Ground Forces. A general discussion of the defenses of the Normandy Peninsula is of interest especially in view of the fact that we are now attempting to break through the Siegfried Line.
When the Germans occupied France, they initiated the construction of fortifications along the invasion coast. However, it was not until 1944 that intensive efforts were made in this regard. At the time of the Allied invasion much of the heavier construction was incomplete, making the landing easier than it might have been at a later date.
The general plan was briefly as follows: Underwater and beach obstacles were used along the shore and were well covered by casemated guns so located that they could deliver enfilading fire. Immediately behind the beach were extensive minefields and, in many places, areas which could be flooded. Generally, these low-lying areas behind the beaches were also covered by artillery fire. Farther back on the high ground there were seacoast batteries designed to protect the approaches to harbors and landing beaches. These were manned by the German Navy and were intended for use against naval vessels supporting the landing. Antitank ditches with pill-boxes sited so that they could fire directly along the ditches were used frequently. One such ditch crossed the peninsula between Valognes and Cherbourg. Tunnels were employed for shelter, the storage of ammunition, and supplies and, in some cases, for machine-gun or artillery positions.
In many sections of the coast, high bluffs rose from the sea and no reasonable chance of landing existed. In sheltered areas, better beaches were found. Some of these were flat with considerable areas of low-lying ground behind. Some had high bluffs rising immediately behind the beach with valleys which formed natural exits. These exits were covered by machine guns in tunnels or prepared positions. Landing on this type of beach was extremely difficult.
It is believed that the German plan was to stop the attack at the beaches. The underwater obstacles employed were a serious hindrance to landing. These consisted of hedgehogs, curved rails, and piles with Teller mines attached to the tops. These mines when submerged a few feet were capable of blowing holes in the bottoms of landing craft which struck them. The range of the tide, about 20 feet, made it necessary to use a large number of obstacles in order that they might be effective at the different stages of the tide. On the beaches there were usually sea walls, and directly in front of the sea walls barbed wire was used to prevent taking cover there and gaining access to the higher ground behind. Flame throwers were buried in the sand and so arranged that they could be set off electrically from a central point.
On the beaches there were usually sea walls, and directly in front of the sea walls barbed wire was used to prevent taking cover there and gaining access to the higher ground behind.
At intervals of about a mile and a half on the beach there were strong points. Artillery pieces had been emplaced in casemates with wing walls to protect guns and embrasures from fire from the sea. These were carefully sited so that the beaches could be covered in both directions. When the landing craft hit the beach and troops started ashore these guns opened up a murderous fire. They were, for the most part, 88, 75, and 50-mm guns. Concrete emplacements, with side walls and roofs 6 feet 7 inches in thickness, provided protection to guns and crews. The field guns which were used required embrasures much larger than those which would have been needed if the guns had been designed for use in emplacements. These large embrasures offered a good opportunity for our use of machine-gun and rifle fire against the defenders. In addition to the artillery in casements, Renault tank turrets had been mounted on concrete emplacements called the Tobruk type. Sometimes emplacements of the same design without the turret were employed with a machine gun being fired from a central pedestal.
Shelters were provided for personnel at strong points. These were heavy concrete structures with walls and roofs 6 feet 7 inches thick. Entrances were covered by machine guns and had heavy steel doors about 1 1/2 inches thick. Defense against gas was provided by collective protectors. Natural ventilation was used, but there were hand-operated blowers available to force the air through cannisters in case gas protection were needed. On top of the shelter there was usually a steel cupola of armor 12 inches thick. These had six embrasures from which machine guns, mounted on a skate ring inside, could be fired. There were usually three machine guns which could be shifted to the side from which the attack came. The guns were so mounted that they could be fired through a steel ball which fitted into a socket forming part of the embrasure, giving freedom of action with adequate protection. When not in use the embrasures or ports were closed by steel doors.
Mines of all types were used and constituted a major obstacle. A type found frequently was the Mustard Pot, of French make, having 4 ounces of explosive and a chemical type igniter called the Buck igniter. This igniter is actuated by pressure of 25 to 35 pounds. The same fuze was employed with a can similar to our meat ration can, and also with French 50-mm mortar shells. The standard S mine (Bouncing Betty) was found frequently, but the Schumine which has a 1/2-pound block of explosive in a small wood box was not much used.
In addition, there were a great many improvised mines. A Stock mine was placed in a wooden box with the ZZ42 igniter, actuated by a light pressure on the hinged top of the box. Concrete blocks with explosive charges fitted with the Buck igniter were also found. Cases for 81-mm mortar shells were fitted up in such a way that pressure on the top would close an electrical circuit, setting off demolition charges placed in the case.
Teller mines and light German antitank and antitank mines were used extensively. In some very large shells up to 240-mm were buried with noses up and fitted with a Buck igniter by nose adapter.
The reason for the employment of every available type of mine, standard and improvised, was apparently the tremendous numbers required for the very extensive fields along the coast. There were numerous dummy minefields, carefully marked in such a way to make them resemble the real ones. This helped make up for the shortage of mines.
The seacoast batteries were usually about a mile behind the beaches and were located on high ground so as to command the sea approaches. A typical installation of this type was at Crisbecq. This had four emplacements for 210-mm guns in various stages of completion. In addition, there were seven 75-mm anti-aircraft guns and, on the forward slope toward the sea, there were extensive field fortifications providing protection against forces coming in from the beach areas. A command post was centrally located from which the fire of the seacoast guns was controlled. Shelters were provided for the operating personnel. These were prefabricated concrete structures which were built in pits in the ground so that the roof came just level with the surface.
The emplacements had roofs 12 feet thick, side walls 10 feet 3 inches thick, and a heavy slab directly in front of the gun, giving protection against the mining effect of bombs and shells which might explode after penetrating into the ground. The guns were operated manually and had limited fields of fire—approximately 120 degrees; the guns were not of modern design. Ammunition was available in magazines directly to the rear of the gun and an additional magazine for storage was underground behind the emplacement. There were no facilities for handling ammunition and, at the time of the landing, service was entirely by hand. It is quite obvious that the handling of the heavy shells for 210-mm guns without hoists and trolleys or ammunition cars would have been very difficult.
The fortifications were constructed by the Todt organization using forced labor and the standards of construction were not as high as those normally found in the United States. Concrete was usually made with bank-run sand and gravel, resulting in an excess of fine aggregate and a weaker concrete. The cement was of German manufacture and is believed to have been of good quality. Tests on three samples of concrete showed an average strength of 3,600 pounds per square inch. Reinforcement consisted of ½-inch plain round bars on a spacing of approximately 10 inches. These ran three ways and the ends were hooked. Overhead the protection against scabbing of concrete from the underside of the roof was provided by eye beams which went across the casemates with steel plates resting on the tops of the flanges so as to form a complete layer of steel.
There were no facilities for handling ammunition and, at the time of the landing, service was entirely by hand. It is quite obvious that the handling of the heavy shells for 210-mm guns without hoists and trolleys or ammunition cars would have been very difficult.
The fortifications were heavier around Cherbourg. In addition to the old French fortifications giving direct protection to the harbor there were casemated guns to either side covering the approaches which had been built by the Germans. The harbor was also heavily mined. Immediately to the east of the city was Fort Du Roule on top of a high hill. On all sides except one the ground fell off sharply. The one good approach was well protected by casemated guns, antitank ditches, mines, and barbed wire. The hill was honey-combed with tunnels in which the defenders had protection from air attack and artillery fire. It was from these tunnels that the German commanders came to surrender at the end of our prolonged attack.
The defenses of the invasion coast were not complete when our troops landed and the defending troops were not of first quality; many of them were of other nationalities, who were impressed into the German Army. The aerial bombardment preceding the invasion undoubtedly had a demoralizing effect on these troops. The effectiveness of such fortifications and defenses can not be determined until the whole story of the invasion is known, and we will probably never know how much trouble we would have had if more determined troops had been assigned to the defense of the invasion coast with completed fortifications and defenses.

Amla oil is the best example that natural, known for hundreds of years, beautifying compositions are unbeatable when it comes to beauty treatments. Amla-based products still surprise us with the power and precision of action. Amla oil belongs to one of the oldest substances used to strengthen the hair. Indian women have been using it for centuries, and the knowledge about its miraculous properties has been passed down from generation to generation. It is worth reaching for it during periods of prolonged hair loss and general hair weakness. How does amla oil work? How to use this Indian oil? Does it collect good reviews?
Amla oil INCI: Emblica officinalis fruit
The oil is obtained from green, fruit-like gooseberries which is why it is often called an Indian gooseberry. In Nepal and India, it is considered to be a sanctity. Usually, the substance extracted from Amla is combined with another natural oil (this way you obtain the so-called macerate). The oils which amla likes the most is coconut or castor oil. They almost always appear in amla oil’s composition.
The properties of amla oil
Amla-based macerate has survived the centuries without losing its popularity. At present, its splendour is gaining strength because it is a great addition to other natural oils. The trend of hair oiling travels around the world, and we reach for the achievements of different cultures to find the ideal substance, supporting hair growth and improving its condition. Amla oil is considered to be a product that: if used regularly prevents increased hair loss, boosts its growth, strengthens, nourishes and enhances the colour.
How to use amla oil?
Amla oil is used for hair oiling, and therefore it can be applied like any other oil: to the hair (along the entire length) and to the scalp and at the same time performing a delicate scalp massage to stimulate the bulbs to work. Amla oil is supposed to act primarily on the rooted part of the hair, in order to place it more firmly in the hair follicle and stimulate growth. After an hour or two, the oil should be washed off the hair. You can leave it in your hair throughout the entire night, wrapping your head with a shower cap and a towel and securing the pillow against oily stains. Wash the oil out in the morning, immediately after waking up, then blow-dry and style your hair as usual.
How does amla oil affect the hair? [effects]
Amla oil will not work right away, you need a few treatments to make your hair stronger and stop the fall out. It all depends on the condition and degree of hair damage. Regular oiling of hair is extremely important. However, the good news is that after the first oil treatment, the hair’s appearance and outer structure is visibly improved: the hair becomes smooth, shiny and soft, it stops getting frizzy and static the hair is tamed and thus easier to comb and style.
Amla oil – reviews
Amla oil – despite its hair growth and anti-hair loss properties, collects various opinions on the web. Some praise it for the effects and efficiency while others are slightly disgusted by the smell. Women with fair hair claim that amla oil has changed the colour of their hair (amla can slightly darken the hair, it gives a light yellowish effect on the highlights).
Is it worth using amla oil for hair?
It’s certainly worth it. Despite divided opinions about it, it may turn out that your hair will like it very much. However, it is worth making sure that you will not be disturbed by the specific smell of the oil. Keep in mind that amla oil is (unfortunately) not suitable for blonde hair, especially those women who have cool blonde hair undertones. | <urn:uuid:0d74c414-a244-4a5e-ae81-37f2871bb7cb> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://nipnu.com/amla-oil-indian-gooseberry-for-hair-growth-is-it-worth-it.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.966755 | 794 | 1.726563 | 2 |

Their model is the 2018 hearing for Brett Kavanaugh, when three future Democratic presidential candidates — Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar and Cory Booker — delivered their own high-profile performances. Unlike with the Kavanaugh nomination, Jackson has generated very little controversy. Her opponents have focused as much on their complaints about past judicial nomination fights as on Jackson’s record. But the opportunity to question Jackson is nonetheless a chance for White House hopefuls to demonstrate their political mettle.
The hearings so far have provided a look into how these four Republican senators who may run in 2024 are positioning themselves ahead of a primary. Their opponents could include not only each other but former President Donald Trump, the Republican who has singularly shaped the party for the past half decade.
In their statements and questions to Jackson, each of these Republicans have demonstrated their own interpretations about how to address issues such as the courts, the role of government and race in the current iteration of the GOP.
As a reliable avatar for grassroots conservative sentiment, Cruz has used his Judiciary Committee perch to lean into familiar culture war issues and disparage liberals, playing a role Republican primary voters have come to expect from the Texan.
Cruz spent his opening statement on Monday criticizing Democrats and the news media. And on Tuesday, his line of questioning to Jackson began with issues surrounding race and education — culture war touchstones that had little to do with her judicial philosophy. Indeed, Jackson responded to several questions from Cruz about her views of both The New York Times’ 1619 Project and critical race theory by saying the issues do not come up in her work on the federal bench.
But Cruz made sure to let viewers know his own views on those subjects: He noted he finds the 1619 Project “deeply inaccurate and misleading” and disparaged certain books found in schools that he says teach children incorrect ideas about racism.
How public education should address America’s racial history has emerged as an hot-button topic in recent election cycles, including in last year’s Virginia gubernatorial race. Republicans see their opposition to more progressive readings of American history as a winning issue. And Cruz’s attempt to draw out Jackson into a debate about this topic reflects its power with the conservative grassroots that make up his base.
As much as Cruz is a quintessential firebrand, Sasse presented himself as a sober conservative, critical of both parties and the three branches of government for failing to live up to their responsibilities. A frequent critic of Trump before, during and after his presidency, Sasse has given voice to a conservative critique of the lack of civic virtue.
“Many years of corroding our constitutional order have contributed to the polarization and the viciousness that are poisoning our politics more broadly,” Sasse said in his opening remarks Monday. “We all know that our civic health and our civic life is not healthy.”
More content to let the conversation with Jackson carry on at length than to deliver flashy soundbites, Sasse has tended toward focusing his remarks on academic questions of Jackson’s judicial philosophy. That has allowed the Nebraska Republican to make known his views on the proper role of the judiciary.
“Throughout this process, we should all remember that a Supreme Court justice is not a lawmaker by another name. A Supreme Court justice performs a crucial but limited function in our political system, namely to interpret and fairly apply the text of the law as written and as understood at the time it was adopted,” he said on Monday.
Unlike other Republicans on the panel, Sasse failed to get combative with Jackson — in-character with his kinder, gentler approach to drawing distinctions with liberals. It remains to be seen whether there is a market for that in a Republican primary electorate that rewarded Trump for doing the opposite in 2016.
Among the GOP members of the committee, Hawley did the most beforehand to telegraph his likely line of inquiry — distinguishing himself early as a senator worth watching and setting the tone for other Republicans on the committee.
In the days before Jackson’s hearing began, Hawley expressed concerns about her writings, remarks and decisions around the sensitive issue of child pornography crimes. On Twitter, Hawley accused Jackson of having “a pattern of letting child porn offenders off the hook for their appalling crimes.”
Hawley has iterated seven cases Jackson had heard as a trial judge in which she delivered lighter sentences than recommended by prosecutors for people convicted of consuming child pornography. But Jackson appears to be in the mainstream of federal judges, where the norm has been to hand down lighter sentences than for those who produce child pornography.
But Hawley, who has cultivated a reputation as a hardline populist conservative with a particular emphasis on pro-family policies, remained committed to pressing the point. The Missouri Republican engaged in a tense back-and-forth with Jackson on Tuesday over her sentencing in a case of an 18-year-old convicted of possessing child pornography, which allowed him to argue Jackson’s views toward sex offenders is too lenient.
“I am questioning your discretion and your judgment,” he said.
In signaling early on he would pursue this line of questioning, Hawley emerged as something of a leader among the Republican committee members. Several, including Cruz (who precedes Hawley in seniority on the committee and was able to ask his questions first), pressed Jackson on her sentencing record in child pornography cases as well.
There’s little surprise that Cotton embraced his reputation as a law-and-order Republican. Even in his opening remarks on Monday, he laid into his main target: the Biden administration, which he said is “waging a war on the rule of law, the separation of powers and the Constitution.”
Cotton tied his critique of the current president to the need for an impartial judiciary. That, Cotton said, requires Jackson to outline her judicial philosophy beyond broad statements about her commitment to integrity, fairness, and established precedents.
“It’s not enough to say only that one would look at the facts and arguments in the case and fairly apply the law. That wouldn’t tell us anything about how one plans to do the job, how one interprets the law, how one understands our Constitution,” Cotton said.
The Arkansas Republican then took the opportunity to outline his own view of what sort of qualities he would seek in a Supreme Court nominee, a speech that would not be out of place in an early primary state.
“I’m looking for a justice that would uphold the Constitution, not use it to invent new so-called rights. I’m looking for a justice who understands the Constitution means what it says and does not mean what it doesn’t say,” Cotton said.
And in his Tuesday questions for Jackson, Cotton took issue with her approach to sentencing convicted felons, as well as her views on resentencing. While Jackson defended her past decisions as consistent with federal statutes, Cotton was able to register his broad opposition to laws and proposals that reduce sentences for such crimes — including the First Step Act, signed into law by Trump. | <urn:uuid:7ceacd0b-22dd-4fb9-9381-9b6a372a8907> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://newsparliament.com/politics/with-jackson-confirmation-hearing-underway-these-gop-senators-with-presidential-ambitions-look-to-make-a-splash/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.972328 | 1,480 | 1.890625 | 2 |
"Artificial Intelligence" has existed for many, many years. Decades even. Go back to Arthur Samuel and his Checkers playing program (if not before). That's AI.
The thing is, as soon as computers can do something, people want to quit treating it as AI. AI is almost, by definition, something that can't really exist, because it has to be about something humans can do, that computers can't. So all progress made in the field is reclassified as "not AI" as soon as it does anything useful.
A more salient question might be "who will be the first to announce that Artificial General Intelligence" has been created. AGI will, if it ever happens, be fundamentally different in terms of being able to learn to do anything, as opposed to, say, a Checkers program which can only play Checkers, or a Go program that can only play Go, etc.
And the answer to that question is -- nobody knows. Nobody even know for sure that AGI will ever happen (though a lot of us presume that it will). Anyway, there isn't a ton of research on AGI going on, relative to the amount of research in Machine Learning / Narrow AI. But somebody working in their garage could make a huge breakthrough tomorrow for all we know. I think a lot of people assume that creating this will take Nation-State level resources, but that hasn't really been proven. So it might be some kid in a garage in Omaha tomorrow, or it might be the Chinese government in 2074. There's just no way to really know. | <urn:uuid:8653c6b2-498d-4a3b-a930-8467fa25ec62> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://ai.stackexchange.com/questions/4069/how-much-power-might-the-creator-of-the-first-artificial-general-intelligence-ob | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.978413 | 327 | 2.328125 | 2 |
Cultural attitudes toward physical security are changing. Where it was once seen as intimidating or invasive, today it is not only accepted, it is an expected part of providing a conducive learning environment. Campus facility managers and those charged with security have more freedom to deploy the technologies necessary to keep students and staff safe.
While cultural attitudes towards security are changing, the supply and demand side of security is changing as well and influencing security technology decisions. One of those changes is the trend toward more cloud-based security solutions. Initially, some were slow to adopt cloud-based solutions, instead preferring to “own” the deployment and the technologies associated with their operation because until very recently, this was the only option. Now, with all of the top security vendors offering cloud solutions more and more are migrating to the cloud.
Is Cloud-based Security right for your campus? Here are some reasons to consider this option.
Cloud-Based Security Helps Address the Skills Shortage
Many facilities face the problem of too few skilled employees to manage facility-wide security needs. Cloud-based solutions alleviate the need for high-level technicians operating, upgrading, and maintaining the technologies. It also provides a way for the security team to manage more ground and respond to the highest priority alerts.
Reduced On-Site Technology Need
Another huge advantage is the reduced need for and the demand on onsite resources such as servers and storage.
Automatic Product Maintenance and Upgrades
Cloud-based-solutions provide automatic product upgrades and maintenance, lessening the management burden on the security team.
One of the biggest problems educational facilities face in their security is in the deployment time, whether it is the initial deployment of the technology or the deployment of upgrades. Cloud-based security technologies accelerate deployment time and time to value.
Manage Multiple Sites
Whether it is one expansive site or a facility with multiple locations, having cloud-based security means having the ability to manage physical security, access control, and video surveillance from one place remotely from one platform. This means users can view live video, unlock doors, grant or suspend access, view activity logs and more simply and easily.
Customized Security Reports

The gut microbiome and metabolic pathways of recurrent kidney stone patients and their non-stone-forming live-in partners Choy, Wai Ho
Background: Metabolism-associated kidney stones such as oxalate, uric acid and cystine stones are caused by over-accumulation or under-excretion of their associated metabolites in the human body. Although the kidney is the primary excretion site for these metabolites, the intestine is an important alternative site of excretion. Intestinal bacterial community members contribute to the breakdown, transport and assimilation of stone-associated metabolites including oxalate, uric acid, cystine and butyrate. To better diagnose and prevent the formation of metabolic kidney stones, the intestinal microbiome should be examined at the level of bacterial communities and interconnected metabolic pathways. Experimental approach: This study examines the differences in bacterial communities and metabolic pathways between the intestinal microbiomes of recurrent kidney stone patients and non-stone-forming controls. Fecal samples were collected from 17 recurrent kidney stone patients and 17 controls with no stone-forming history. Bacterial DNA was then extracted from the fecal samples. To examine bacterial taxonomy, specific variable regions of the 16S rRNA gene were sequenced from the DNA and aligned to a bacterial gene database to identify and quantify the bacteria present. To examine metabolic pathways, metagenomic DNA libraries were sequenced, assembled and aligned to a metabolic gene database to identify and quantify the metabolic genes present. Results: Bacterial populations in patient microbiomes appear to be less diverse than those in control microbiomes. At the bacterial species level, we found that patient microbiomes had lower abundance of Oxalobacter formigenes, a well-known oxalate-degrading bacterium. At the metabolic pathway level, patient microbiomes were found to contain a lower abundance of genes important for the production of butyrate, a fatty acid that promotes overall intestinal integrity and has been found to upregulate the expression of oxalate transporters in the gut. Conclusions: This study verifies previous findings that a majority of recurrent kidney stone formers lack O. formigenes in their intestinal microbiomes. Additionally, analysis into metabolic genes in the gut uncovered an additional deficiency in the butyrate metabolism pathway that could influence overall gut homeostasis. Reduced bacterial diversity in recurrent stone formers also suggest patient microbiomes may be dysbiotic, a state common to many intestinal diseases.

Before you imagine dentures like the fake-looking teeth worn by your grandparents, you should know that dentures are better than ever. They look more natural and are more comfortable than those worn by generations past. Today’s dentures are attractive, functional, and natural-looking!
What are Partial Dentures ?
Patients with a few teeth might benefit from a partial denture. A partial consists of replacement teeth that are attached to a plastic base. Both the false teeth and gums will be custom-made to match your natural teeth and gums. A partial stays in place with clasps that fit around your existing teeth. A partial will keep your remaining teeth stable, so they don’t shift, and will also restore your chewing and speaking ability.
What are Complete Dentures ?
It can be scary to face the loss of your complete upper or lower teeth, or both. But dentures today provide a great option that will give you a beautiful smile that looks quite natural. The process will take place over a period of time. After your teeth are extracted and your gums have had a chance to heal, a custom set of dentures will be made to fit over your gums. Although there is a bit of a learning curve, once you become used to the dentures, you should be able to eat most of your favourite foods. You will find that laughing and speaking will feel normal again as well.
What are Implant-Supported Dentures ?
Implant-supported dentures combine budget-friendly dentures with the stability of implants. A few implants will be placed to provide stability for your dentures, so there are no worries about having them shift or slide. Implant-supported dentures mean dentures that don’t move, giving you the ability to eat, laugh, and speak with confidence! Another benefit: Many people are not aware of a condition called “facial collapse.” This refers to the sunken-in, aged look that many denture-wearers develop over time because they no longer have tooth roots to stimulate the jawbone. Implant-supported dentures keep this from happening.
What Else Should I Know about Dentures?
There is a period of adjustment when you first get your dentures. You will have to take a bit of time to get used to eating with them, so at first you might want to limit yourself to soft foods that are easy to eat. You can continue to expand your choice of foods as you get used to chewing with your dentures. Be careful to avoid foods that are too hard or too hot. You will also want to avoid chewing gum with dentures.

As an Englishman, this plug-in MP3 player from Giha Woo terrifies me. After suffering decades of brainwashing propaganda in the form of public service ads which outlined the myriad dangers awaiting anyone stupid enough to plug things into power outlets, I take one look at Woo's Plug and Player and see a potential death trap.
This is nonsense, however, as the device is both a) a concept and b) uses a euro-style plug, which means it couldn't be used on Britain's shores anyway.
The idea is simple: The MP3 player is housed in a power plug, so wherever there is a power socket you can plug it in and charge it. It does seem, though, that there isn't enough space inside for the transformer that would be needed to drop the voltage from 220v to the 5v required by most pocket media players.
So perhaps this concept would be better housed inside a UK plug. These giant blocks of plastic would certainly be able to house a small transformer. Take a look:
The idea of a charger-less gadget is a nice one, though. I just wonder how you're supposed to get the music on there is the first place? I see no USB port anywhere. | <urn:uuid:c21898f5-a875-498c-a29e-cfeba3065d62> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.wired.com/2011/05/mp3-player-plugs-directly-into-the-mains/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.974022 | 255 | 2.03125 | 2 |
ULTRASAT is a scientific satellite that is planned to be launched to GEO orbit in Q2 2025. It will be carrying a telescope with an unprecedentedly large field of view (204 squared degrees), that will conduct the first wide-field survey of transient and variable ultraviolet (UV, 230-290nm) sources. ULTRASAT will revolutionize our understanding of the hot transient universe: The extra-Galactic volume, that will be accessible to ULTRASAT for the discovery of transient sources, is 300 times larger than that of the most sensitive UV satellite to date, GALEX, and comparable to that of the largest ground-based optical transient survey planned to begin operation in 2024, LSST.
ULTRASAT will have a broad scientific impact across the fields of Gravitational Wave (GW) sources, supernovae, variable and flare stars, active galactic nuclei, tidal disruption events, compact objects, and galaxies. It will open a new wave band (UV) and cadence access (minutes to months), with a vast space for serendipitous discovery. All ULTRASAT data will be transmitted to the ground in real-time, and transient alerts will be distributed to the community in <15 min, driving vigorous ground-based follow-up of static, variable and transient ULTRASAT sources.
A key science goal of ULTRASAT is the discovery of electro-magnetic emission following the detection of gravitational waves (GW) from the mergers of binaries involving neutron stars. Such detections will be the key to using these events for addressing fundamental physics questions, such as the origin of the heaviest elements and the expansion rate of the universe. ULTRASAT will be able to slew in minutes to >50% of the sky, and its wide field-of-view amply covers the angular error regions expected to be provided by GW detectors starting 2025. It will provide continuous UV light curves as well as early alerts that will enable ground-based follow-up spectroscopy and monitoring of optical and infrared emission predicted to arise later.
ULTRASAT is planned for a 3-year operation at a GEO orbit, with fuel sufficient to enable an extension to 6 years of operation. It is planned to reach space prior to or during the early phase of the planned full sensitivity operation of the GW detector network.
The ULTRASAT spacecraft is being constructed by the Israeli Aerospace Industry (IAI), the telescope is being constructed by Elbit/Elop, and the UV camera is being constructed by DESY Zeuthen. The launch (as a secondary payload) will be provided by NASA. ULTRASAT is jointly funded and managed by the Israel Space Agency (ISA), the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS), and DESY, under the scientific leadership of the WIS. Mission operations will be provided by IAI, and science operations (including data pipeline, transient alerts, and data products) will be provided by WIS.
ULTRASAT is groundbreaking both in terms of science and in terms of implementation. If successful, we will demonstrate that breakthrough science can be achieved by small satellites at an affordable cost, ~$100M including launch, leading the way to future similar missions. Beyond providing groundbreaking science, the high scientific profile of the mission will strengthen the world standing of the Israeli space industry as well as the international standing of Israel via the creation of collaborations with leading industries and agencies. It will also have a major educational impact drawing young talented Israeli people to science and technology. | <urn:uuid:60af2bcc-d7d5-457e-be06-25abd39884ec> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.weizmann.ac.il/ultrasat/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.907813 | 743 | 2.46875 | 2 |
Goal: Significantly reduce product cost and improve reliability
Strategy: Design the product to be easy to assemble
Product Simplification, otherwise known as “Design for Assembly,” is a product development strategy that can substantially reduce total product cost and improve reliability. All of this is possible without compromising a product’s ability to function. To achieve this, products are re-designed to be as easy to assemble as possible. This approach is unique in that most cost reduction strategies only look at reducing the costs of individual parts. Since the 1980s, hundreds of companies have achieved an average product cost savings of 50% with Product Simplification. This ground-breaking methodology has been successfully applied to automobiles, electronics, consumer goods, medical devices, industrial equipment, aerospace, and many other products.
Why should I care about assembly labor?
A common product cost reduction strategy is to design individual parts to be simpler, easier to manufacture and less expensive to produce. From the following chart, you can see why an engineer might put all their focus on part costs:
The reality is that this strategy can actually lead to a higher total product cost relative to a strategy that focuses on minimizing assembly labor. How could this be? The answer lies in the fact that designing parts to be easy to manufacture tends to increase the total number of parts, while designing a product to be easy to assemble usually reduces the number of parts. Industry research has shown that thanks to modern manufacturing techniques, using fewer parts will frequently be less expensive than using a large number of inexpensive parts. The added advantages of a reduced part count are that the product becomes easier to service, usually has fewer defects to begin with, and is typically more reliable throughout its lifetime. Ultimately, Product Simplification ensures that more value is captured by both the manufacturer and the consumer.
How do I execute this strategy?
In theory, it seems easy enough for a good designer to simply avoid adding extra parts. Yet in practice, many finished designs are very inefficient because the product development team either didn’t have enough time or didn’t recognize which parts should be combined together. This is where the early use of DFMA software becomes critical. The DFA software component quantifies assembly efficiency and provides suggestions for re-design that in many cases also improve the product’s performance. Additionally, the theoretical minimum number of parts is calculated to help the user understand what the total potential for part consolidation might be. Once DFA re-designs are proposed, the should-cost of each iteration can quickly be compared with the DFM software component. By combining the use of DFA and DFM software a development team can capture the full benefits of Product Simplification.
Goal: Manage cost during the early stages of product development
Strategy: Break the walls that exist between design and manufacturing
Product Costing is a product development strategy that allows companies to anticipate and influence manufacturing costs during the earliest stages of product development. Since it is widely accepted that over 70% of product cost is locked-in during the design phase, it is extremely important that designers and manufacturers collaborate to ensure total product cost goals will be met. The problem is that the typical product development team operates in a “toss it over the wall” fashion. That is to say that the design team is sitting on one side of a wall and the manufacturing team on the other. Once the design is finished, it gets tossed to the manufacturing team in a manner that doesn’t allow for any collaboration. A first-class product development team will instead implement Product Costing to avoid lengthy re-design efforts and missed cost reduction opportunities that result from the more typical approach.
What does an effective Product Costing process look like?
The first stage of Product Costing is where the design engineers provide specifications for the parts they have decided to include in the product structure. Ideally, a Product Simplification strategy will have been used to help achieve this. Using these part design specifications, the manufacturing engineers can provide feedback as to what is actually involved in bringing the designs to life. This combination of design and manufacturing information allows for accurate cost estimates to be generated in DFM Concurrent Costing software. At this point, the designers go back to their initial proposals and finalize the selection of processes and materials, as well as fine tune the parameters of each design. The goal is to achieve the lowest cost design for each finalized part that is still able to meet the functional requirements of the product.
What benefits does DFM Concurrent Costing provide during this process?
Besides providing real-time accurate cost estimates, DFM Concurrent Costing serves as the focal point of communication between designers and manufacturers. DFM identifies the major cost drivers for each manufacturing process so that both manufacturing and design can ask the essential cost related questions at the most relevant time. This results in a faster product development process because there are fewer problems to address during the latter stages of development. With Product Costing, product development becomes a more focused and educated effort than previously.
Goal: Achieve cost reduction by reducing the prices you pay to suppliers
Strategy: Use data-driven discussion to base negotiation on true manufacturing costs
Supplier Costing is a cost management strategy for reducing the price paid for a part. Quite frequently, management will establish cost reduction goals and demand sufficient price reductions from the supplier. These arbitrary price reductions can leave profit on the table because they are not based on a thorough understanding of the true manufacturing costs involved. They can also weaken the supply chain and risk putting price competitive suppliers out of business. A much more fruitful approach is to compare supplier price quotes against an independent estimate of the true manufacturing cost. The discussions that take place after this comparison is made should have the objective of understanding any differences.
The important difference between price and cost information
A frequent mistake that many organizations make when trying to generate their own cost estimates is that they rely at least partially on historical price information. The problem with historical pricing is that it usually doesn’t accurately portray the cost to the supplier of making new parts. A lack of accuracy causes you to misdirect your negotiation efforts towards areas where little realistic opportunity for savings may exist. Additionally, you will fail to highlight hidden opportunities where the supplier is charging you far more than what the part actually costs to make. Any reliance on price information needs to be removed from your analysis, so that the only variable you are truly negotiating is profit.
Negotiating with suppliers using DFM Concurrent Costing
DFM Concurrent Costing is an ideal tool for negotiating with suppliers because it allows you to generate accurate cost estimates in real-time. By focusing on only the factors that truly drive cost, an organization can quickly understand whether a supplier quote is reasonable. The responses provided by the software are in a language that suppliers easily recognize, so there is no dispute as to how the estimates were generated. This allows for a fair and transparent Supplier Costing process to occur and a truly sustainable supply-chain to be developed.

Testing standard for cutting quality of laser cutting machine
March 22, 2022
The quality of laser cutting machine mainly depends on its cutting quality, which is the most direct way to test the quality of equipment. For new customers, when purchasing equipment, they will be required to see the laser cutting machine proofing first. In addition to the cutting speed of the equipment, proofing depends on the cutting quality of the sample. How to see the cutting quality and what aspects should be paid attention to? Let's give you a detailed introduction. The following nine standards are indispensable.
The laser cutting section will form vertical lines, and the depth of the lines determines the roughness of the cutting surface. The shallower the lines, the smoother the cutting section. Roughness not only affects the appearance of the edge, but also affects the friction characteristics. In most cases, it is necessary to reduce the roughness as much as possible, so the shallower the grain, the higher the cutting quality.
The perpendicularity of cutting edge is very important when the thickness of sheet metal exceeds 10mm. When away from the focus, the laser beam becomes divergent, and the cutting becomes wider towards the top or bottom according to the position of the focus. The cutting edge deviates from the vertical line by a few percent. The more vertical the edge is, the higher the cutting quality is.
3. Cutting width
Generally speaking, the notch width does not affect the cutting quality. Only when a particularly precise contour is formed inside the part, the cutting width has an important impact, because the cutting width determines the minimum internal diameter of the contour. When the plate thickness increases, the cutting width also increases. Therefore, in order to ensure the same high precision, no matter how large the notch width is, the workpiece should be constant in the processing area of the laser cutting machine.
When cutting thick plates at high speed, molten metal will not appear in the notch below the vertical laser beam, but will spray out at the back of the laser beam. As a result, the curved lines are formed at the cutting edge, and the lines closely follow the moving laser beam. In order to correct this problem, reducing the feed rate at the end of the cutting process can greatly eliminate the formation of lines.
Burr formation is a very important factor that determines the quality of laser cutting. Because burr removal requires additional workload, the severity and amount of burr can directly judge the quality of cutting.
6. Material deposition
The laser cutting machine touches a layer of special liquid containing oil on the surface of the workpiece before melting and perforation. During the cutting process, due to gasification and various materials are not used, the customer uses the wind to blow away the incision, but the upward or downward discharge will also form deposition on the surface.
7. Depression and corrosion
Depression and corrosion have an adverse effect on the surface of the cutting edge and affect the appearance. They appear in cutting errors that should normally be avoided.
8. Heat affected area
The laser is heated along the cut area. At the same time, the structure of the metal changes. For example, some metals harden. The heat affected area refers to the depth of the area where the internal structure changes.
If cutting causes the part to heat up sharply, it will deform. This is particularly important in fine machining because the contours and connecting pieces are usually only a few tenths of a millimeter wide. Controlling laser power and using short laser pulses can reduce component heating and avoid deformation | <urn:uuid:0511e429-6c23-4fd8-b922-8f20295f1e2c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.cncfiberlasercuttingmachine.com/news/testing-standard-for-cutting-quality-of-laser-cutting-machine-109574.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.908805 | 754 | 2.59375 | 3 |

Gastrointestinal perforation and hemorrhage, peritonitis, aspiration, respiratory arrest, death.
Thrombocytopenia. Sedatives are contraindicated in clients with central nervous system depression.
- See Client and Family Teaching.
- Dentures should be removed.
- A sedative may be prescribed.
- Obtain baseline vital signs.
- Follow facility policy and procedure for clients receiving conscious sedation.
- Obtain a blood pressure cuff, lidocaine spray, a suction machine and tubing, an endoscope, pulse oximetry, and a gastroscopy cart. A cardiac monitor may be required with some clients.
- Just before beginning the procedure, take a “time out” to verify the correct client, procedure, and site.
- A blood pressure cuff is left in place on the client's arm, and vital signs along with pulse oximetry are monitored on an individual basis throughout the procedure.
- The mouth and oropharynx are anesthetized locally.
- Oral secretions are suctioned or allowed to drain out as they accumulate.
- The client is placed in a left lateral position with the head tilted forward.
- As the endoscope is advanced into the esophagus, the head is slowly tilted back.
- The esophagus and cardiac sphincter are examined as the endoscope is advanced. The endoscope is rotated clockwise as it is advanced into the stomach and the stomach lining, and the cardiac and pyloric sphincters are examined. The scope is advanced through the pylorus into the duodenal bulb and beyond the bulb apex into the second portion of the pH duodenum. Advancement can continue into the jejunum as well. Photographs of suspicious areas and biopsy specimens or brushings may also be taken. Sclerotherapy is commonly performed during this procedure if active bleeding is noted. Polypectomies are also common. The endoscope is slowly withdrawn.
- Fasting is required until the gag reflex returns.
- Continue assessment of respiratory status. If deep sedation was used, follow institutional protocol for postsedation monitoring. Typical monitoring includes continuous ECG monitoring and pulse oximetry, with continual assessments (every 5–15 minutes) of airway, vital signs, and neurologic status until the client is lying quietly awake, is breathing independently, and responds to commands spoken in a normal tone.
- Observe for symptoms of complications, which may include hypotension; pallor; tachycardia (from bleeding); shoulder, neck, back, or abdominal pain (from perforation); or tachypnea and rales caused by pulmonary edema after thoracic perforation.
- Use of topical and injected local anesthetics has been associated with methemoglobinemia in rare instances. Consider this condition in clients exhibiting signs and symptoms of hypoxia refractory to oxygen therapy.
Client and Family Teaching
- Fast from food and fluids for 8–12 hours before the procedure.
- Arrange for someone else to drive you home because clients receiving sedation should not drive until 24 hours later.
- It is important to swallow when asked as the endoscope is being inserted through the mouth and advanced into the stomach.
Factors That Affect Results
- The client must be able to swallow.
- This test is to be performed with caution in clients with perforated ulcer, aortic aneurysm, recent bleeding esophageal varices, or Zenker's diverticulum.
- Complications of this procedure include esophageal, thoracic, gastric, or diaphragmatic perforation. | <urn:uuid:39bfe864-0d6a-44f7-8979-5d0bd4c83baa> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://minclinic.ru/diagnostic_procedures/diagnostic_procedures_eng/G/Gastroscopy_or_Gastroduodenojejunoscopy_(GJD).html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.895465 | 1,098 | 2.546875 | 3 |
President Bush announced the deal Friday, one week after Congress narrowly failed to approve a similar plan meant to help the two giant U.S. automakers, as well as Ford, which isn't in as dire financial straits.
Under the plan Bush outlined Friday, GM and Chrysler will have until March 31 to restructure their businesses to remain viable.
The loans – $13.4 billion now and another $4 billion available in February – will come from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), the $700 billion fund set up by Congress earlier this year to aid the U.S. financial sector.
GM and Chrysler had told Congress they would build more high mileage and energy-efficient vehicles if they received federal assistance. But with sales plummeting and the two companies facing cash shortages, it had been unclear whether the two companies could keep their operations going, let alone follow through on those pledges (see Auto Bailout Dies; Will Green Pledges Follow Suit?).
GM, for example, plans to launch its hybrid Chevy Volt in 2010 and follow that up with half a dozen hybrid models by 2012 (see Chevy Volt Cleared for 2010 Production). But on Wednesday, GM said it had delayed construction on a $370 million factory where it planned to build the engine for the Chevy Volt and another fuel-efficient model, the Chevy Cruze.
GM thanked Bush for the bailout in a statement Friday and said it was "fully committed to leading in energy-saving vehicles and technologies."
Chrysler had promised a 2009 fleet with 73 percent more fuel-efficient vehicles from this year, as well as an electric-drive vehicle in 2010 (see Chrysler Eyes 2010 for Launch of One of Three Electric Cars). But the automaker said this week that it would shut down all of its 30 plants for at least a month starting today to conserve cash. GM and Ford have also announced extended year-end plant shutdowns.
Ford is not in as dire financial straits as Chrysler and GM, but lobbied for the bailout to prevent a failure of the other two automakers from disrupting the industry.
Ford wants to release an electric van in 2010 and an electric sedan in 2011 for fleet customers, as well as more hybrids and all-electric cars for consumers in 2012 (see Ford Outlines Fuel Economy, Electric Car Plans to Feds). The company plans to spend about $14 billion in the next seven years to develop advanced technologies and products to improve fuel efficiency.
U.S. sales for the Big Three have been dismal this year, as the collapsing housing market, resulting credit crunch and turmoil on Wall Street have led the U.S economy into recession. GM is down 22 percent, Ford down 19 percent and Chrysler down 28 percent, compared with an industry-wide average sales drop of 16 percent, Bloomberg reported.
Bush's plan comes with demands that the Big Three restructure their finances, reduce their debt by two-thirds and reduce their unionized workers' wages to more closely match those of workers at foreign-owned auto plants in the United States. | <urn:uuid:c5ce1f3f-e008-40e2-9b04-78e43268ac49> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/us-automakers-get-federal-bailout-5409 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.968046 | 619 | 1.726563 | 2 |
Here's the part from the relevant Meta.SO answer
What is the effect of the Spam flag?
This type of flag receives an extremely high priority in the moderation queue. It should be used only when the content of the post you are flagging meets the criteria defined below, or it will likely be declined.
The spam flag is designed to eliminate posts with no relevant content and to penalize the authors:
- 3 flags (spam or offensive): post is banished from the front page.
- 6 flags (spam or offensive): post is locked, deleted, and the first revision owner loses 100 reputation.
- 1 flag from a moderator has the same effect as 6 flags from normal users: instant destruction.
- Because a question with 6 flags is locked, a 10k reputation user cannot meaningfully undelete it.
- Each spam flag counts as a downvote for calculating the post's score (it does not affect the user's reputation).
Is there any way to remove Spam flags?
There is often no need, as spam flags expire after 48 hours if the thresholds aren't reached.
Rolling back a post to a previous state will revert to the number of spam flags from that particular revision. This allows the OP (or someone else with edit rights) to rollback a post that someone else made spam in a later revision. However, as a general user, once you mark a post as spam, you cannot take it back.
How does the Spam flag differ from the Offensive flag?
There is no functional difference aside from separate counts - 3/6 of either will be sufficient for mechanical purposes.
Personally, this is what I usually do:
- Flag as SPAM.
- Edit out the spammy part.
- A mod eventually will come and look at it and check the user. | <urn:uuid:cffedadd-c6e1-4496-aa91-6daf4f91f642> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://security.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1259/spam-in-qa-any-advised-handling-protocol | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.928437 | 379 | 1.671875 | 2 |
The Senate voted to take up the $1 trillion infrastructure bill on Wednesday after weeks of negotiations. The bill still needs to hammer out details and would face final votes in both the Senate and the House of Representatives before going to President Joe Biden’s desk for a signature.
However, the package does set aside $65 billion for broadband, according to a fact sheet released by the White House. That number is far lower than Biden’s original goal of $100 billion but had been generally agreed upon by Democrats and Republicans for over a month.
When Biden initially put forward his infrastructure package, it allocated $100 billion for broadband. However, amid negotiations with Republicans, the administration lowered that figure to $65 billion in an attempt “of seeking common ground.” Subsequent negotiations have stuck with that number.
A fact sheet released by the White House notes that the package will ensure “every American has access to reliable high-speed internet with an historic investment in broadband infrastructure deployment.”
However, unlike Biden’s initial push, it does not go into much detail about how that money would be spent. Biden’s first proposal said it would support community, co-op, and municipal broadband networks, something Republicans have bristled against.
The administration said the agreed-to deal would also require providers who receive funding to offer a “low-cost affordable plan” and offer “price transparency.”
More specifics should become available as the infrastructure bill’s text is written by lawmakers. | <urn:uuid:65937e86-09b0-473b-9e71-07670b75a3e6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.dailydot.com/debug/broadband-65-billion-infrastructure-bill/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571190.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810131127-20220810161127-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.971196 | 314 | 1.796875 | 2 |

F/Lt Richard Thomas
I was sad to learn from Richard Thomas' daughter Valerie that Richard passed away on the 5th May 2014.
Richard originally contacted me in January 2007 as he could see from his logbook that he flew with Ken on 4 separate occasions when converting from Lockheed Hudsons to Flying Fortresses. We stayed in regular contact from that point and we met in April 2011.
Richard was born in July 1920 in Middlesbrough and joined the RAF in August 1940 serving as a Wireless Operator / Air Gunner in Coastal Command 206 Squadron. During 1941 to 1943 he flew on the same 1,000 Bomber raid as Ken to Bremen and was a member of a crew which sank a U boat off Iceland.
Richard is linked to a number of other people within the 'Memoirs' section, the main ones are:
Pilots: Part I: John Owen - Richard was part of John's crew
Pilots: Part III: William Roxburgh - Richard was part of William's crew
Richard flew as part of F/O John Owen's crew from 26.08.1941 to 24.06.1942 almost exclusively on Lockheed Hudsons, some 140 flights!
Richard was a writer and kind enough to send me a signed copy of his first novel based on his experiences titled 'Towards The Sun', this was followed up with 2 further titles 'Morning Grass' and 'The Heat Of The Day'.
As well as writing books, Richard also wrote articles for a local magazine. Some of these articles focus on his experiences and memories from his time in WWII and 206 Squadron. Four of these stories are copied below whilst a further seven, involving William Roxburgh, can be found in his Memoir.
PLACES AND PEOPLE - 9 - 12/10/2010
Being posted to Blackpool in 1940 by the RAF to start the wireless course leading to becoming a Wireless Operator / Air Gunner opened my eyes to a town I had only heard about as a place for industrial workers on the Eastern seaboard to spend Wakes Week, their only holiday of the year. I have fond memories of the Tower Ballroom and beach, the Derby Baths, and the warm welcome from the Lancashire people, particularly in the boarding house where I was billeted with four other airmen which was run by a buxom landlady and her young daughter; the advertisement at the entrance for Bed and Board being an apt description.
Blackpool, however, could provide other delights. A concert by the Halle Orchestra and Huddersfield Choral Society conducted by Sir Henry Wood was one such evening of entertainment; another was to see Barry K. Barnes in a play, On Approval, from which I was made aware that changing partners within a set of two married couples was quite a normal activity; and, on film, Errol Flynn in The Sea Hawk, and Henry Fonda in The Grapes of Wrath. All this, and learning day-by-day the mysteries of Morse Code and how to set-up, and dismantle and repair if necessary, a Marconi receiver.
It was at Blackpool that I, together with many others, fell foul of authority. A bus firm had hit upon the idea of transporting airmen on an outward journey to various parts of the country for a suitable fee. Without a leave permit, and running the risk of discovery, my friend Ray Simpson and I decided to take part; the urge to get back home to see one's family and girlfriend being too strong to resist. Our journey from Blackpool was to Darlington being as near as we could get to Middlesbrough and Thornaby respectively. We were told by the bus driver to lie down on the floor when we came to a check-point and so passed through without any trouble. Our return was made by train from Darlington arriving at Blackpool to see the station platform full of red-capped military police with RAF trucks pulled up alongside; we later learned that one person who had not joined in the escapade had informed the authorities of what was happening. We, some thirty all told, were taken to a drill hall where we learned from an enraged senior officer what our parentage was, what a disgrace we were to the RAF, and were then placed on a week of jankers. To the uninitiated, jankers consisted of reporting to the parade ground early each morning in uniform and full kit with back-pack and then made to run round the perimeter for a full hour. At the end of 6 days no one had any illusions about bucking against authority in the future.
Oban, in the Outer Hebrides was the fulcrum for operations being carried out to protect convoys coming across the North Atlantic with vital supplies in WW2. There had been a Naval and RAF presence from before the war which was then augmented by units at Tobermory, Tiree, and Stornoway. My introduction to this area of conflict was with 206 Squadron in 1942. Ted Nelson in his book, 'A Survivors Tale', gives a vivid account of his 14 months stationed in the windswept island of Benbecula; an island covered in runways and buildings. The few people, crofters, left on the island after the inroads of the RAF were difficult to locate, contact was made occasionally when visiting a cottage to buy tweed for making up into jackets which lasted long after the war ended. Girls of any age were even more scarce, or did not show themselves to the thousands of RAF men now dominating their island home. I have it on good authority that girls did appear at locally organised dances but not being a dancer they did not come into my orbit.
Apart from the incessant flying operations leave was granted at regular intervals; an experience looked forward to except for the usually stormy crossings by Macbaynes' ferries from Loch Boisdale to Oban; the return journey tinged by the knowledge that there was no finite end to the job we had to do; a difficult job fraught with dangers. One particularly sad experience for me was the loss of John Owen, an earlier pilot on Hudsons, who flew out with his Fortress crew one day never to return; a fate suffered by more than one crew. I shall always remember a lone piper standing on a rocky outcrop playing a Scottish lament after it was known that Owen and his six crewmen would not come back to base.
It is fitting to end with a quotation from Winston Churchill's WW2 history, Vol. 5:
"The Battle of the Atlantic was the dominating factor all through the war... Vigilance could never be relaxed. Many gallant actions and incredible feats of endurance are recorded, but the deeds of those who perished will never be known."

12/3/42 12:35 Lockheed Hudson AM875 Pilot F/Sgt Goodson
Anti-Sub Sweep (Landed at Castletown) 7.10 hrs
Goodson - Owen - Thomas - Simpson
It has been an uneventful trip. Flying mile after mile over a grey, stormy sea; no U-boat sightings and not even a glimpse of the odd fishing boat. Now, we were heading for RAF Wick; a diversion from landing at our normal base owing to foul weather. F/Sgt Goodson, who was standing in for P/O Roxburgh who was away on special leave, had made two attempts to land at Stornaway before deciding to fly round Cape Wrath and make for Wick. There was one major hazard, shortage of petrol. The maximum flying time for the Hudson was between 7 and 8 hours. We had been on patrol for over 6 hours and precious fuel had been used in the two abortive landing attempts; added to which I had been struggling to put out a fire in the radar generator, not an exercise to be welcomed in an already existing state of emergency.
Goodson's voice over the R/T came as a blessed relief. He had already instructed his crew to don parachutes ready to make a jump for it as he turned inland from the sea heading for the mountains and glens of Northern Scotland.
"There's an airfield directly below us. I'm going in to land."
Land we did, running out of petrol at the end of the runway. The airfield was a new one, Castletown, not yet marked on the navigational charts.
There are shaves, close shaves, and miracles. Our escape from possible death must surely come into the latter category. I have often looked back to those frantic moments in an apparently doomed aircraft and given thanks once again to the hand of providence which saved us from an untimely demise.
A SCRAPBOOK OF MEMORIES - 08/06/2012
I first met John Owen at No 1 Operational Training Unit at Silloth in Cumbria, together with Will Roxburgh (who were both Officers) Ray Simpson and I (both Sergeants) making up a foursome. We stood on the tarmac alongside a Lockheed Hudson just delivered from America, It was the first of three such aircraft flown over from the USA to assist in the job of searching for U-Boats in the North Atlantic, and carrying out escort duties for the protection of the convoys bringing supplies into into a much needed beleagured Britain. The aim of the meeting of the four men was to start the formation of a crew, particularly to test whether we would be able to work together as a combat unit. This proved to be the case. We made our first operational flight as members of 206 Squadron on 3rd November 1941, an anti-sub sweep of 7 hours duration; the flight was uneventful, a fact that was to be the forerunner of many such missions.
In August 1942 the Squadron converted to the B17 Flying Fortress extending the flying time from around 7 hours in the Hudson to the 11 plus in the Fortress. This still left a gap in the middle of the Atlantic where U-boats could be serviced and provided with supplies without interference except for the possible advent of the Navy, a gap which was not closed until the introduction into service of the Liberator, 17 hours duration, in May 1943.
Never has so much hinged upon the toss of a coin in the case of Ray Simpson and myself which took place when making the change from the Hudson to the Fortress, the latter requiring a crew of eight. The B17 Mk.2 had just been delivered to Benbecula in the Hebrides where we were now stationed. Owen won the toss and opted to take charge of a new Fortress whilst forming a fresh crew; Ray and I remaining with Roxburgh to become the nucleus of his.
In December 1942 Owen and his crew failed to return from a mission over the Atlantic in atrocious weather. When it became apparent that they had probably been lost Roxburgh's crew was allowed to carry out a search for them; a search which brought us back to base greatly saddened. There was no knowing what might have happened; one explanation being that they might have descended to just above sea level to make a required adjustment to the altimeter after take off and been struck by a high wave.
A final reference to a sad memory was that before I fell asleep in the Nissen hut which was our living quarters I heard a faint of music, the rise and fall of the bagpipes. Creeping to the door of the hut I opened it to see the figure of a man in full kilt playing a Scottish lament the people of Benbecula were paying their respects to John Owen and his crew in the only way they knew.
The stage production of the musical Evita began its long run on 21st June 1978 at the Prince Edward Theatre in London. I was not at the first performance but my wife, Agatha, and I were there shortly afterwards to enjoy an evening which I can only describe as out of this world; my immediate reaction being that it was not so much musical theatre as having the quality of an opera. It was helped, of course, in having a superb cast; Elaine Page, Joss Ackland, David Essex, Siobhan McCarthy and Mark Ryan backed up by the excellent chorus, The Company, in which my son-in-law, David Shelmerdine was a member bringing out the melodies of Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics of Tim Rice to perfection. Evita had a long run, about eight years, I believe, before being transferred to Broadway in New York in September 1979 where it ran for 1576 performances picking up in the process seven Tony Awards including Best Book and Best Musical Score of the year in 1981.
All the above achievements were brought to mind when I watched a programme on TV recently charting the progress of Elaine Page from the first song she performed on stage to the lovely strains of 'Memories' picking up on the way 'Don't cry for me Argentina'. Elaine sang her way through 40 years of musical theatre in a voice still rich in emotion and technique. It took me back to that first performance in 1978 when she went overnight from a virtual unknown to the star which she is today.
The above account is all the more remarkable in that my preference in music is classical with Italian opera at the forefront. My thanks must be given to all the performers who have brought much pleasure to me in a long life.
On the 25th March 1943, Richard's Fortress crew, captained by F/Lt William Roxburgh attacked a U-Boat. They were in Fortress FK195 and successfully sunk the U-Boat which was later identified as U-469. The crew on that particular operation were as follows:
F/Lt William Roxburgh
Sgt Lloyd Meech
F/Sgt Joe Griffith
Sgt Richard Thomas
F/Sgt Douglas Eley
Sgt Jack K Churchill
Sgt Ray Simpson
Here is the entry from Richard's logbook:
This photograph was taken after the crew of that Fortress operation reunited in the 1970's.

Links to Ken
When Richard originally contacted me, it was to say that he could see from his logbook that he flew with Ken on 4 separate occasions when converting from Lockheed Hudsons to Flying Fortresses.
Richard provided me with the details of those 4 flights which were all in Fortress IIa's, and in April 2011 I took photographs of his logbook first hand after visiting Richard at his home in Saltburn by the sea.
26.08.1942 - FK210 - Air to sea firing with Richard as Gunner, Flying Time 01.15 hrs
26.08.1942 - FK210 - Photography exercise, Flying Time 00.20 hrs
03.09.1942 - FK194 - Benbecula to Burton Wood, Flying Time 02.30hrs
04.09.1942 - FK194 - Burton Wood to Middleton-St-George, Flying Time 01.35 hrs
Richard also flew in the 1,000 Bomber Raid on Bremen on the 25/06/1942 which was the same raid Ken piloted a Hudson. Richard was in Hudson AM788 'A' which was one of twelve Lockheed Hudson crews from 206 Squadron, the entry from Richards logbook is below.
There is more information available within 'F/Lt Ken Bass', within the '1942' section.
Rank: Flight Sergeant
Joined 206: 14/07/1941
Flew with Ken: 3 times
Richard Crowe contacted me after he came across the section on John Owen (His story is within the 'Pilots: Part I' section), as his father Eric Crowe was one of the crew members on that fateful flight on December 14th 1942. That incident was around 7 months before Richard was born, hence he never knew his father. However he had managed to trace his postings via Eric's Gran and Aunts and found out he was with 206 Squadron from mid 1941. Eric enlisted to the RAF on the 30th April 1940 and made it to No. 1 O.T.U Silloth on the 24th May 1941. It was on the 14th July 1941 that he joined 206 Squadron. Below are photographs sent over by Richard...
F/S Eric Crowe
Interestingly Richard has a copy of a photograph from Eric's time in Silloth in No.1 OTU from June 1941. I'm certain there will be other faces linked to 206 Squadron. Having checked Ken's logbook I see Eric was there at the same time as Ken's recorded flying exercises from 18.06.41 through to 09.08.41. On the back of the photograph is the following...
No.6 (Hudson) Op. Training Course, No.1 (Coastal) Operational Training Unit
Silloth, June 1941
Top Row: 3rd from Left - Eric Crowe
Richard also has copies of Eric's Wedding from 12th October 1942 & crew members shown below
Wedding Day Eric Crowe - C.Neill - R.N.Hildred
This is the same photograph that appears on John Owen's page taken the day before their fateful flight
13th December 1942
Back Row: F/Sgt E.Crowe - Sgt D.Bryan - F/O J.Owen - Sgt C.Neill
Front Row: Sgt R.N.Hildred - Sgt W.Shanks - Sgt W.J.Parnell
In September 2008, with the help of Richard Crowe I found another photograph of John Owen's crew in front of Fortress FL452 'G', it was in 'Naught Escape Us' by Peter Gunn
13th December 1942
F/Sgt E.Crowe - Sgt R.N.Hildred - Sgt W.Shanks - F/O J.Owen - Sgt C.Neill - Sgt D.Bryan - Sgt W.J.Parnell
On investigation of Eric Crowe in Ken's logbook I found 3 entries that contained a match, 2 of which were just a month prior to the crash...
18th Sep 1941 - Wills was the Pilot, Ken was 2nd Pilot, A/S Sweep (Hudson AM650)
1st Nov 1942 - Ken was the Pilot, A/S Sweep (Fortress FK208 'B')
11th Nov 1942 - Ken was the Pilot, A/S Sweep (Fortress FK208 'B')
The November flights were with Ken's normal crew of Anderson, Roberts, Miller, Morgan and Clemson, with the addition of Eric Crowe.
When I checked the National Archives I found out that Eric was part of a Hudson Crew that attacked a U-boat with 4 depth charges on the 14.02.42 with the comments 'Oil Seen' and a crew of P/O A.J.Davey, Sgt R.Lenton. The pilot was F/Lt L.M.Nelson whose story is the 'Pilots: Part I' section. Simon Nelson has validated this against his father's logbook.

New Technology Allows You to Touch Your Baby While Still in the Womb
Would you like to touch your baby before it’s born for just 1 Euro? A Polish company, In Utero 3D, is giving you a chance to. This is a project for blind mothers, to whom the new 3D technology gives the same opportunity to see their unborn child.
IN UTERO 3D is a project of creating a bas-relief of an unborn child masterpiece in 3D technology based on 3D ultrasound examination. As they explained on their website, they just need a file with a 3D ultrasound examination saved in Cartesian Volume Files (*.vol) from General Electric Voluson or DICOM (*.dcm) format from Aloka instruments to make a very similar picture of baby`s face, limbs or any part in 1:1 scale. The best imaging takes place between the 18th -30th weeks.
To create the image of the “3D printed babies” they have developed their own crucial software to make a conversion of ultrasound examination from GE Voluson and Aloka instruments. It all comes together flawlessly.
They do not manipulate ultrasound images and they do not idealize a baby’s face. They only port it to another data storage device and print it in a non-toxic bioplastic material. The bas-relief is a true three-dimensional representation of baby and environment in the mother’s womb. They maintain all proportions, spatial relations and actual dimensions of the unborn child.
The steps of creation:
Creating this bas-relief is taking 2-3 hours of model preparation and 4-7 hours of 3D printer`s work.
3D ultrasound examination
The doctor conducts the 3D ultrasound examination, then saves it in Cartesian Volume Files (*.vol) format in case of GE Voluson or DICOM (*.dcm) format in the case of an Aloka instrument. You send them these files to their secure server.
The 3D printout of the fetus
They convert the 3D ultrasound and get a faithful three- dimensional model of the Baby's s face in a 1:1 scale. Then print a bas-relief using ecru non-toxic bio-plastic material (PLA).
Waiting without barriers
This is a project for blind mothers, whom the new 3D technology gives the same opportunity to see their unborn child. Waiting for the birth in that case and emotions connected with it becomes quite normal, but now they get the privilege of "seeing" their baby before they are born.
Some parents have already had their unborn baby’s 3D print and one of them is explaining his feelings in these words:
“I am blind daddy of little Johnny, who will be born in the second half of July. I was pleased to listen to the beating of his heart, but so far I could not see him. When I heard that there is a possibility to print results of a 3d ultrasound examination (“to print my son”), this idea fascinated me and we decided to participate in the program. A revelation and amazing feeling. I can touch and palpate every detail of the face of my little Johnny. I feel the nose, mouth, eyes – all the details are very clear. Now I can perceive how our baby looks like in 1:1 scale.”

They are important learning experiences because the student can apply classroom/theoretical learning to an actual situation and perhaps make some conclusions and recommendations.
Case Study, Critical Thinking, Ethical Decision Making, and the Nursing Process
1. Mrs. Elle, 80 years of age, is a female patient who is diagnosed with end-stage cancer of the small intestine. She is currently receiving comfort measures only in hospice. She has gangrene of her right foot and has a history of diabetes controlled with oral agents. She is confused and the physician has determined that she is unable to make her own informed decisions. The hospice nurse, not realizing that the weekly order for CBC and renal profile had been discontinued, obtained the labs and sent them to the nearby laboratory for processing. The abnormal lab results obtained later that day revealed that the patient needed a blood transfusion. The hospice nurse updated the patient’s medical power of attorney who was distressed at the report. The patient’s wishes were to die peacefully and to not have to undergo an amputation of her right foot. But if the patient receives the blood transfusion, she may live long enough to need the amputation. The patient’s physician had previously informed the medical power of attorney that the patient would most likely not be able to survive the amputation. The patient’s medical power of attorney had made the request to cease all labs so that the patient would receive comfort measures until she died. The patient has no complaint of shortness of breath or discomfort. (Learning Objective 4)

Our skilled nurses and state-of-the-art facilities provide the care and therapies needed to get people back on their feet after a major health event. With us, you and your loved ones have the best chance at making a great recovery.
It’s a situation many caregivers experience: they’ve gone to bed for a good night’s rest when they suddenly hear their elderly loved one wandering through the house. They help their loved one back to bed only to hear them up again two hours later, looking for a glass of water or needing to use the restroom. Attending to these interruptions night after night can leave caregivers feeling drained and exhausted.
That’s why Pasadena Nursing Center offers an Adult Night Care program for seniors with memory conditions. While you, the caregiver, get the nighttime rest you need, your loved one receives compassionate care in our clean and safe nursing home facility. In the morning, we provide your loved one with a healthy breakfast before their scheduled pick-up.

When a loved one undergoes a major surgery or becomes ill or injured, sometimes they need extra help with their recovery. A convalescent home is designed to provide that type of care. A stay in a convalescent home is temporary and focused on rehabilitating patients back to independent living.
In addition to skilled nursing, convalescent care typically involves physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech or mental health therapies. Pasadena Nursing Center offers all of these services as part of its rehabilitative care program.
The average stay in a convalescent home is about two weeks. Most people will recover enough to return home with full independence or with the assistance of a home health aide. A few patients will need to enter a nursing home.
A nursing home is an in-resident, long-term skilled nursing facility for patients who require daily medical care. People in need of a nursing home generally have memory issues, mobility issues, or difficulty eating or toileting on their own. A nursing home allows them to receive around-the-clock care and supervision to ensure their wellbeing.
When skilled nursing care is recommended by a physician or is considered a medical necessity, Medicare and Medicaid can help cover the cost. The compassionate staff at Pasadena Nursing Center can discuss your funding options to help your loved one get the best health care possible.
If your loved one needs ongoing living assistance but is not ready for a nursing home, an assisted living facility could be an option.
Assisted living is designed for elderly residents who wish to maintain their independence for as long as possible. These residents can function independently most of the time but require assistance with activities of daily living. Such activities can include tasks like cooking, housekeeping, dressing, and bathing. Assisted living facilities usually offer apartment-style housing and communities that encourage socializing and active living for the elderly.
Assisted living is not generally considered skilled nursing care and may not be covered by certain types of insurance. However, it can allow an elderly loved one to maintain their dignity and remain active within their community for many years.
For patients not yet ready for long-term care, Pasadena Nursing Center also offers short-term options like Adult Day Care and Respite Care. Feel free to contact us at (626) 798-0558 to learn more.
Community connections are important, especially for adults experiencing memory-related conditions. Our Adult Day Care program gives elderly adults a place to socialize, have fun, and receive compassionate care while their caregivers work, rest, or run errands.
By providing stimulating activities and social interaction, Adult Day Care can delay a senior’s need for a nursing home. It also reduces caregiver stress and fosters companionship among elderly adults who might otherwise feel isolated at home. Seniors who participate in Adult Day Care experience better cognitive function, improved mood, and a greater sense of independence and wellbeing.
Seniors who attend our Adult Day Care program receive all of the compassionate care you would expect from our amazing staff at Pasadena Nursing Center. If you’re looking for a short-term elderly care option that could greatly benefit your family, contact us about Adult Day Care.

They took care of all of my mothers needs, took them on vacation, trips, to the malls, zoos, and other excitting places.

There is no denying the fact that branded ink jet cartridges are quite expensive if one reviews the production values. Competition in the market does not allow the manufacturers of printers to increase the price of their product, but they indirectly gain higher profit by pricing their own ink jet cartridges to about 35 to 40% of the cost of the printers. This high price can be frustrating for the consumer when the printer ink is used up. A solution may be to look for remanufactured ink cartridges.
Besides this, the empty and disposed cartridges create environmental problems as the remaining ink in the cartridge, if it seeps out, can cause groundwater pollution. So, if there is a viable reuse of the cartridges, it can be a cheaper option and would solve the problem of disposal of the cartridge. Some manufacturers have now started making remanufactured ink cartridges. However these can be quite messy and cumbersome. Moreover, if remanufactured inkjet cartridges become defective, it is another problem to replace and clean up the printer and eventually may cost more than the branded variety cartridges.
The remanufactured ink cartridges are much cheaper but at the same time there are many dismal reports by consumers who have used them. Some people have complained of receiving just one in good working condition from a lot of 7. Others have complained of irregular quality, especially in color printing.
So it would be best to go online and do some research on remanufactured ink cartridges suppliers and manufacturers. There are some websites that act as a link between consumers and suppliers of remanufactured ink cartridges. Through them, one would be able to find a number of such suppliers who give a guarantee of the quality of their product and their price can be about 40% lower than the branded cartridges. They also have a large selection and can send their product directly to your home. This saves time and one has the reassurance of warranty.
At the end, the pros of remanufactured ink cartridges are that they are cheaper and that they do not add to environment pollution. Moreover, buying them online saves time. On the other hand, the cons are that buying them without making any enquiry can lead to quality complaints and the printers developing a problem. They may eventually cost more than the branded ink jet cartridge.

Background: Larynx cancer (LCa) is the most common head and neck cancer and accounts for 1-2.5% of all human cancers worldwide. Metformin, an oral anti-diabetic drug, has been recently shown to have anti-cancer activity in various cancer types, and there are several studies in the literature pointing to its potential to sensitize cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs.
Objective: This study was aimed at exploring the anti-cancer effects of metformin alone or in combination with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on Hep-2 cells.
Methods: The effects of metformin and/or 5-FU on the proliferative, clonogenic, and apoptotic potential of Hep-2 cells were evaluated with Cell Viability Detection Kit-8, soft agar assay and Annexin VFITC Apoptosis assay, respectively. Migratory and invasive potential of cells was tested using scratch, transwell migration and Matrigel invasion assays. Gene expression of cells exposed to metformin and/or 5-FU was profiled using RT2 mRNA PCR Array plates.
Results: Treatment of Hep-2 cells with metformin inhibited cell proliferation by inducing apoptosis, and suppressed cell migration. Besides, treatment of metformin along with 5-FU improved the antiproliferative and anti-migratory effects of 5-FU. However, unexpectedly, metformin was found to enhance cellular invasion and reverse the inhibitory effect of 5-FU on the invasive potential of Hep-2 cells.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that metformin might be used as an adjuvant agent in the treatment of LCa. However, the potential of metformin to promote the invasion of cancer cells should not be neglected.

Gone are the days when people earned from traditional ways. The Digital era has brought uncountable opportunities and technologies along with the astounding platforms where people have been enabled to earn without even moving from their place. Yes, if we start counting the blessings of digital innovations, it will surely take us forever. Platforms like crypto-currencies and NFTs have provided us millions of opportunities of starting earning without even having a business of our own. Yes, that’s true. Let us give you an insight into crypto-currency and NFTs that how people can work them out to make a big earning and how people are already doing so.
Crypto-currency and NFTs:
Crypto-currency is a digital payment system that needs no banks to verify the transactions made. Stored in digital wallets, cryptocurrency received the name for its encrypted verified transactions. The NFTS is known as “non-fungible tokens” (non-interchangeable, non-exchangeable) and are simply pieces of digital content that are associated with the Blockchain and can be sold and bought using this Blockchain technology. But at the same time, they aren’t fungible which is something that makes them a different type of asset. Roughly speaking, a random example of NFT may be a unique digital artwork or an in-game item.
Almost 16% of our population has already invested in cryptocurrencies. Anyone who can draft, design, or build a physical product can start a business of making a person’s digital NFT into a physical item. Among many people playing with crypto and NFT, we have a cryptocurrency and NFT expert who has been inspiring many around him. Yes, we are talking about @CryptoCasz.
@CryptoCasz is a crypto and an NFT expert who is from Philadelphia, PA in the United States. A handsome amount of youth has been inspired by his work. We did a short interview with him and would love to share it with you.
Hi sir! We’ve already heard a lot about your expertise; please tell us about your educational life.
Well, along with pursuing my skills in digital platforms, I studied at the University of Pennsylvania. I have two degrees, one in mathematics and the other in physics.
You have spent a lot of time with various big names we see today, tell us something about your trading journey?
“I was recruited as a Quant to a hedge fund and I eventually began trading. From there I got into crypto and NFTs. That’s all about it.”
People have seen you being a helping hand to the community. What do you teach to your community?
“I simply help my people get hands-on today’s advanced technological platforms like Blockchain, crypto, web3, and NFTs.”
Can you share how much you earned from your skills for the sake of youth motivation?
“Yeah why not, I made $10M in 2021.”
Woahh!! That’s a hell of an amount. Amazing job you’ve done sir. We also witnessed you attracting a big crowd on social media upon your Twitter. Is that where our reader can switch to you?
“Yes, definitely they can. My Twitter handle is @CryptoCasz and has over 83.8K followers there. I do marketing, promotions and advising, and much more there. I share my latest activities with my follower and am the most active on Twitter you may say. So yes, readers can follow me there.

The National Parks of Sumatra are one of the last bastions for the endangered Sumatran Tiger, as well as Javan rhino, Asian elephants and the orang-utan. You can stay in small eco lodges, from where you can do day walks into the reserves in search of the wildlife. The more intrepid can travel into the Parks and camp for a night or two of old fashion exploration. You can also enjoy rafting and boat trips on the river, an excellent way of silently spotting the many animals and birds.
In the centre of the Island you can visit Lake Togo (see map), a body of water filling an ancient caldera of a super volcano. It is the largest lake in Indonesia and the largest volcanic lake in the world. Its eruption c.74,000 years ago was the biggest volcanic event for 25 million years and had cataclysmic consequences for life on earth. The island in the lake is home to the Batak people.
The west coast can offer you a beach stay on several small islands, offering unspoilt and private beaches with superb snorkelling and diving options. | <urn:uuid:10e2176b-7bdf-41ae-8c08-df7d5f9aa6f6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://realasia.co.uk/attractions/sumatra-111 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572021.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814083156-20220814113156-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.949264 | 233 | 2.03125 | 2 |
Understanding feedbacks from terrestrial ecosystems to climate change is my main research interest. I focus on the response of Arctic ecosystems in a warmer world, which is key for understanding how natural ecosystems interact with human emissions to control the overall pace of climate change.
I spend the summer in Alaska living in a log cabin and conducting research, surrounded by wild places under the midnight sun. What brings me here is the potential for this remote place to have an outsized influence on the shape of the future world.
In the Arctic, temperatures are rising fast as a result of burning fossil fuels and deforestation elsewhere on Earth. Warmer temperatures means that things that are normally frozen start defrosting. This includes frozen ground that contains vast quantities of organic carbon – the remains of plants and animals that have been accumulating over thousands of years.
In fact, the amount of carbon in northern soils is about four times larger than all the carbon ever emitted by human activity in modern times. Release of even a fraction of this carbon into the atmosphere amplifies the pace of climate change, making things warmer yet. As an ecosystem ecologist, I am trying to discover how much frozen carbon will be released, how fast it will come out, and what the form of that carbon will be — as carbon dioxide and methane.
Answers to these questions will in part determine the future climate not only for Alaska, but for the entire world in which we live. | <urn:uuid:419a24f3-904e-404f-9fde-36bde320fef6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://searcharcticscience.org/person/schurr/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.940035 | 286 | 2.53125 | 3 |

Book I: Chapter 10
..... well thou know'st
God hath pronounc'd it death to taste that tree,
The only sign of our obedience left.
Paradise Lost, IV. 426.
..... lest the like befall
In Paradise to Adam or his race
Charg'd not to touch the interdicted tree,
If they transgress, and slight that sole command,
So easily obey'd amid the choice
Of all tastes else to please their appetite,
Though wand'ring. VII. 44.
So Bishop Taylor. 'I find in Scripture no mention made of any such covenant as is dreamt of about the matter of original sin: only the covenant of works God did make with all men till Christ came; but he did never exact it after Adam.' Works, IX. 399. And in his treatise on The Doctrine and Practice of Repentance, Gen. ii. 17. is quoted as the first of the texts to prove 'the old covenant, or the covenant of works.' VIII. 303.
'Were it merely natural, why was it here ordained more than the rest of moral law to man in his original rectitude, in whose breast all that was natural or moral was engraven without external constitutions and edicts?' Tetrachordon. Prose Works, II. 133.
'That some of the objects in Eden were of a sacramental nature we can hardly doubt, when we read of the tree of knowledge, and of the tree of life.' Bp. Horne's Sermon on the Garden of Eden. See also his two Sermons on the Tree of Knowledge and of Life.
'Perhaps this is that doom which Adam fell into of knowing good and evil, that is to say, of knowing good by evil.' Speech for the Liberty of Unlicensed Printing. Prose Works, I. 299.
..... the tree of knowledge grew fast by,
Knowledge of good bought dear by knowing ill.
Paradise Lost, IV. 222.
'The church began in innocency, and yet it began with a sacrament, the tree of life-.' Bp. Taylor. Works, I. 149.
See the passage quoted from our author's Tetrachordon, page 297, note.
..... from work
Now resting, bless'd and hallow'd the sev'nth day,
As resting on that day from all his work.
Paradise Lost, VII. 590.
SeeTetrachordon. 'It might be doubted, &c..... lost by her means.'
Prose Works, II. 121, 122. 'What an injury is it after wedlock..... to be contended with in point of house rule who shall be the head....."I suffer not," saith St. Paul, "the woman to usurp authority over the man." If the apostle would not suffer it, into what mould is he mortified that can?' Doctrine, &c. of Divorce, II. 36.
..... Was she made thy guide,
Superior, or but equal, that to her
Thou didst resign thy manhood, and the place
Wherein God set thee above her made of thee?
Paradise Lost, X. 146. See also XI. 291, 634-636.
Therefore God's universal law
Gave to the man despotic power
Over his female in due awe,
Nor from that right to part an hour,
Smile she or lower. Samson Agonistes, 1064.
Certain it is that whereas other nations used a liberty not unnatural, for one man to have many wives, the Britons altogether as licentious but more absurd and preposterous in their license, had one or many wives in common among ten or twelve husbands.' History of England. Prose Works, IV. 68. With the exception of this hint, I am not aware of any passage in Milton's printed works which contains a clew to his opinions respecting polygamy. His history was written just before he became Latin Secretary to the Council, about the year 1650; and it is observable that although, according to the above quotation, he appears to have been inclined in favour of the practice, he then admitted its licentiousness.
See the title to The Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce; —'wherein also are set down the bad consequences of abolishing, or condemning of sin, that which the law of God allows, and Christ abolished not.' Prose Works, I. 332. 'In these opinions it would be more religion to advise well, lest we make ourselves juster than God, by censuring rashly that for sin, which his unspotted law without rebuke allows, and his people without being conscious of displeasing him have used.'Doctrine, &c . II. 32.
'But they were to look back to the first institution; nay rather why was not that individual institution brought out of Paradise, as was that of the Sabbath, and repeated in the body of the law, that man might have understood it to be a command?' Doctrine, &c. II. 29.
Though the words of this difficult clause are rendered very variously by the different commentators, yet, with the exception of Grotius, who explains the passage with reference to the origin of souls ex traduce from our natural parents, nearly all agree in considering it as an argument against polygamy. The interpretation which Milton seems to prefer, is suggested by Tirinus and Menochius. See Poole's Synopsis in loc.
'It wrought so little disorder among the Jews, that from Moses till after the captivity, not one of the prophets thought it worth the rebuking; for that of Malachi well looked into will appear to be not against divorcing, but rather against keeping strange concubines, to the vexation of the Hebrew wives.' Doctrine, &c. Prose Works, II. 61. 'He that reads attentively will soon perceive, that God blames not here the Jews for putting away their wives, but for keeping strange concubines, to the profaning of Judah's holiness, and the vexation of their Hebrew wives, v. 11. and 14. Judah hath married the daughter of a strange god: and exhorts them rather to put away their wives whom they hate, as the law permitted, than to keep them under such affronts. And it is received, that this prophet lived in those times of Ezra and Nehemiah (nay by some it is thought to be Ezra himself) when the people were forced by these two worthies to put their strange wives away. So that what the story of those times, and the plain context of the 11th verse, from whence this rebuke begins, can give us to conjecture of the obscure and curt Ebraisms that follow, this prophet does not forbid putting away, but forbids keeping, and commands putting away according to God's law, which is the plainest interpreter both of what God will, and what he can best suffer.' Tetrachordon, II. 146.
The original of this sentence affords no satisfactory sense. 'Id ejusmodi est profecto, ut argumentum ipsum pro adulterio sit protinus repudiandum.' The fondness for that play upon words which is so characteristic of Milton, and of which, as has been already observed (see p. 17.) this treatise furnishes numerous examples, renders it not improbable that it was originally written pro adulterino; for which the amenuensis employed in transcribing this part of the manuscript, substituted the more common word adulterio.
..... Love's due rites, nuptial embraces sweet.
Paradise Lost, X. 994.
'Deinde, si valeret Ochini argumentum, profecto non tantum polygamiam sed etiam incestus probaret; si quidem consanguinei uxoris eodem gradu junguntur viro quo ipsi uxori. Itaque non magis licuit Davidi ducere uxoris suæ Michal novercas, quam suam ipsius novercam.' Beza De Polygamia.
'Sciunt enim qui labris aliquanto primoribus evangelium gustarunt, ecclesiæ gubernationem divinam esse totam ac spiritualem, non civilem.' Pro Populo Anglicano Defensio. Prose Works, V. 196.
..... where stood
Her temple on th'offensive mountain, built
By that uxorious king, whose heart, though large,
Beguil'd by fair idolatresses, fell
To idols foul. Paradise Lost, I. 442.
Women, when nothing else, beguil'd the heart
Of wisest Solomon, and made him build,
And made him bow to the gods of his wives.
Paradise Regained, II. 160.
'The 18th chapter (of Bucer's Kingdom of Christ) I only mention as determining a thing not here in question, that marriage without consent of parents ought not to be held good, yet with this qualification fit to be known,' &c. Prose Works, II. 81. 'It is generally held by reformed writers against the Papist, that..... the father not consenting, his main will without dispute shall dissolve all..... Because the general honour due to parents is great, they hold he may, and perhaps hold not amiss.' Tetrachordon. Prose Works, II. 136.
'There must be a joint consent and good liking on both sides.' Doctrine, &c. Prose Works, I. 366. 'This brings in the parties' consent; until which be, the marriage hath no true being.' Tetrachordon, II. 143.
'His drift, as was heard before, is plain; not to command our stay in marriage with an infidel; that had been a flat renouncing of the religious and moral law; but to inform the Corinthians, that the body of an unbeliever was not defiling, if his desire to live in Christian wedlock showed any likelihood that his heart was opening to the faith; and therefore advises to forbear departure so long till nothing have been neglected to set forward a conversion; this I say he advises-.' Doctrine, &c. Prose Works, I. 365. See also Tetrachordon: 'I cannot see by this golden dependence —not an endless servitude.' II. 123, 124. and pp. 206-218.
'What is not therefore among the causes constituting marriage, must not stay in the definition. Those causes are concluded to be matter, and, as the artist calls it,form..... First, therefore, the material cause of matrimony is man and woman; the author and efficient, God and their consent; the internal form and soul of this relation is conjugal love arising from a mutual fitness to the final causes of wedlock, help and society in religious, civil, and domestic conversation, which includes as an inferior end the fulfilling of natural desire, and specifical increase; these are the final causes both moving the efficient, and perfecting the form.' Tetrachordon. Prose Works, II. 140. See also p. 143. 'Marriage is a divine institution —common duty than matrimonial.'
'If we speak of a command in the strictest definition, then marriage itself is no more a command than divorce; but only a free permission to him that cannot contain,' Doctrine, &c. Prose Works, II. 13.
'Whatever hypocrites austerely talk
Of purity, and place, and innocence,
Defaming as impure what God declares
Pure, and commands to some, leaves free to all.
Our Maker bids increase; who bids abstain
But our Destroyer, foe to God and Man ?
Paradise Lost, IV. 744.
This is in direct opposition to the sentiments attributed to Adam in his original innocency.
..... to have thee by my side
Henceforth an individual solace dear.
Paradise Lost, IV 485.
The same comment upon the passage in Genesis occurs elsewhere, and is remarked by Newton as a beautiful climax.
For this cause he shall forego
Father and mother, and to his wife adhere;
And they shall be one flesh, one heart, one soul.
And again, Eve, replying to Adam, who had said, 'we are one flesh.'
Adam, from whose dear side I boast me sprung.
And gladly of our union hear thee speak,
One heart, one soul in both. IX. 965.
'Lastly, Christ himself tells who should not be put asunder, namely, those whom God hath joined. A plain solution of this great controversy, if men would but use their eyes; for when is it that God may be said to join?..... only then when the minds are fitly disposed and enabled to maintain a cheerful conversation, to the solace and love of each other, according as God intended and promised in the very first foundation of matrimony; "I will make him a help meet for him:" for surely what God intended and promised, that only can be thought to be his joining, and not the contrary.' Doctrine, &c. II. 39. 'But here the Christian prudence lies, to consider what God hath joined: shall we say that God hath joined error, fraud, unfitness, wrath, contention, perpetual loneliness, perpetual discord; whatever lust, or wine, or witchery, threat or enticement, avarice or ambition hath joined together, faithful and unfaithful, Christian with anti-christian, hate with hate, or hate with love, shall we say this is God's joining?' Tetrachordon, Prose Works, II. 178.
'It is error or some evil angel which either blindly or maliciously hath drawn together, in two persons ill embarked in wedlock, the sleeping discords and enmities of nature.' Doctrine, &c. Prose Works, I. 370. 'The rest whom either disproportion or deadness of spirit, or something distasteful and averse in the immutable bent of nature renders conjugal, error may have joined, but God never joined against the meaning of his own ordinance.' Ibid. II. 40. 'Charity and wisdom disjoins that which not God, but error and disaster joined.' Tetrachordon, II. 203.
Once join'd, the contrary she proves, a thorn
Intestine, far within defensive arms
A cleaving mischief. Samson Agonistes, 1036.
'The occasion which induced our Saviour to speak of divorce, was either to convince the extravagance of the Pharisees in that point, or to give a sharp and vehement answer to a tempting question.' Doctrine,
&c. Prose Works, II. 2.
'Now that many licentious and hard-hearted men took hold of this law to cloke their bad purposes, is nothing strange to believe, and these were they, not for whom Moses made the law, (God forbid) but whose hardness of heart taking ill advantage by this law he held it better to suffer as by accident, where it could not be detected, rather than good men should lose their just and lawful privilege of remedy; Christ therefore having to answer these tempting Pharisees, according as his custom was, not meaning to inform their proud ignorance what Moses did in the true intent of the law, which they had ill-cited, suppressing the true cause for which Moses gave it, and extending it to every slight matter, tells them their own, what Moses was forced to suffer by their abuse of his law.' Doctrine, &c. Prose Works, II. 21. See also p. 42. 'Moses had granted —contentious cause whatsoever.' Again; 'This was that hardness of heart, and abuse of a good law, which Moses was content to suffer, rather than good men should not have it at all to use needfully.' Ibid. p. 50. 'Why did God permit this to his people the Jews, but that the right and good which came directly thereby, was more in his esteem than the wrong and evil which came by accident?' Colasterion. Prose Works, II. 251.
Quandoquidem in iis tantum vitæ momentum vel beatæ vel miseræ positum esse judicavit; an expression which will be best illustrated by the author himself:
..... each on himself relied,
As only in his arm the moment lay
Of victory. Paradise Lost, VI. 237.
'Lastly, it gives place to the right of war, for a captive woman lawfully married, and afterwards not beloved, might be dismissed, only without ransom; Deut. xxi.' Tetrachordon. Prose Works, II. 156.
'Cleave to a wife, but let her be a wife, let her be a meet help, a solace, not a nothing, not an adversary, not a desertrice; can any law or command be so unreasonable, as to make men cleave to calamity, to ruin, to perdition?' Tetrachordon. Prose Works, II. 137.
'This law the Spirit of God by the mouth of Solomon, Prov. xxx. 21, 23. testifies to be a good and a necessary law, by granting it that a hated woman (for so the Hebrew word signifies rather than odious, though it come all to one) that a hated woman, when she is married, is a thing that the earth cannot bear.' Doctrine, &c. Prose Works, II. 21.
'If Solomon's advice be not overfrolic, live joyfully, saith he, with the wife whom thou lovest, all thy days, for that is thy portion..... Yea, God himself commands us in his law more than once, and by his prophet Malachi, as Calvin and the best translations read, that he who hates, let him divorce, that is, he who cannot love.' Doctrine, &c. Prose Works, I. 358. 'Although this place also hath been tampered with, as if it were to be thus rendered —The Lord God saith, that he hateth putting away. But this new interpretation rests only in the authority of Junius; for neither Calvin, nor Vatablus himself, nor any other known divine so interpreted before,' &c. Tetrachordon II. 146. Sibi odio esse dimissionem ait Jehova Deus Israelis. Junius. Si odio habueris, dimitte, ait Dominus Deus Israelis. Lat. Vulg. It appears from Poole's Synopsis that the version of Piscator is the only one which agrees with Junius.
'To retain still, and not be able to love, is to heap up more injury.' Doctrine, &c. of Divorce. Prose Works, I. 355. And again —'not to be beloved, and yet retained, is the greatest injury to a gentle spirit.' Ibid. 'Not he who after sober and cool experience, and long debate within himself, puts away whom, though he cannot love or suffer as a wife with that sincere affection that marriage requires, yet loves at least with that civility and goodness, as not to keep her under a neglected and unwelcome residence, when nothing can be hearty, and not being, it must needs be both unjoyous and injurious to any perceiving person so detained, and more injurious than to be freely and upon good terms dismissed.' Tetrachordon. II. 196.
'This command thus gospellized to us, hath the same force with that thereon Ezra grounded the pious necessity of divorcing. Neither had he other commission for what he did, than such a general command in Deuteronomy as this, nay not so direct, for he is bid there not to marry but not bid to divorce,' &c. Doctrine, &c. Prose Works, I. 362.
'"But," saith the lawyer, "that which ought not to have been done, once done, avails." I answer, this is but a crotchet of the law, but that brought against it is plain Scripture.' Doctrine, &c. Prose Works, 1. 365.
'The law of marriage gives place to the power of parents; for we hold that consent of parents not had may break the wedlock, though else accomplished. It gives place to masterly power, for the master might take away from a Hebrew servant the wife which he gave him, Exod. xxi,' Tetrachordon. Prose Works, II. 156.
'O perverseness ! that the law should be made more provident of peace-making than the gospel; that the gospel should be put to beg a most necessary help of mercy from the law, but must not have it!' Doctrine, &c. Prose Works, I. 358. See also book II. chap. vii. 'But if those indulgences, &c. —work of our redemption.' II. 19. 20.
'From the beginning, that is to say, by the institution in Paradise, it was not intended that matrimony should dissolve for every trivial cause as you Pharisees accustom. But that it was not thus suffered from the beginning ever since the race of men corrupted, and laws were made, he who will affirm must have found out other antiquities than are yet known. Besides, we must consider now, what can be so as from the beginning, not only what should be so. In the beginning, had men continued perfect, it had been just that all things should have remained, as they began to Adam and Eve,' &c. Tetrachordon Prose Works, II. 192.
'For the language of Scripture signifies by fornication..... not only the trespass of body..... but signifies also any notable disobedience, or intractable carriage of the wife to the husband.' Tetrachordon. Prose Works, II. 198.
See Book III. Chap. xxii. and xxvii. Selden is quoted again with approbation in the Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce. 'Let him hasten to be acquainted with that noble volume written by our learned Selden, "Of the Law of Nature and of Nations," a work more useful and more worthy to be perused by whosoever studies to be a great man in wisdom, equity, and justice,' &c. Prose Works, ii. 59. He calls him also in the Speech for the Liberty of Unlicensed Printing, 'the chief of learned men reported in this land.' I. 298. Again, in his Defensio Secunda pro Populo Anglicano, referring to the treatise here quoted, he says, 'quid item de excepta solum fornicatione sentiendum sit, et meam aliorumque sententiam exprompsi, et clarissimus vir Seldenus noster, in Uxore Hebræa plus minus biennio post edita, uberius demonstravit.' V. 234.
This is the only direct reference to any of Milton's printed works which this treatise contains. The allusion is to a passage in Tetrachordon, where the author explains the text, saving for the cause of fornication. Prose Works II. 197-201. It has been generally supposed that Milton's opinions on the subject of divorce were influenced by the well-known circumstances connected with his first marriage, and Warton says that he published Tetrachordon in consequence. Some probability seems to have been given to this conjecture by the passage quoted in the 2d note on page 327. But though Milton's attention may have been first directed to this subject by his own domestic unhappiness, it is evident from the work now published, that his sentiments respecting divorce were deliberately conceived, and that the treatises which he printed during his life time were not merely intended to serve a temporary purpose in which he was personally interested.
'Grotius shows also, that fornication is taken in Scripture for such a continual headstrong behaviour, as tends to plain contempt of the husband, and proves it out of Judg. xix. 2. where the Levite's wife is said to have played the whore against him ; which Josephus and the Septuagint, with the Chaldean, interpret only of stubbornness and rebellion against her husband..... Had it been whoredom, she would have chosen any other place to run to than to her father's house, it being so infamous for a Hebrew woman to play the harlot, and so opprobrious to the parents. Fornication then in this place of the Judges is understood for stubborn disobedience against the husband, and not for adultery.' Doctrine &c. II. 46.
See 1 Cor. vii. 15.
'St. Paul leaves us here the solution not of this case only, which little concerns us, but of such like cases which may occur to us.' Tetrachordon. Prose Works, II. 216.
'Having declared his opinion in one case, he leaves a further liberty for Christian prudence to determine in cases of like importance, using words so plain as not to be shifted off, that a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases, adding also that God hath called us to peace in marriage. Now if it be plain that a Christian may be brought into unworthy bondage, and his religious peace not only interrupted now and then, but perpetually and finally hindered in wedlock, by misyoking with a diversity of nature as well as of religion, the reasons of St. Paul cannot be made special to that one case of infidelity, but are of equal moment to a divorce wherever Christian liberty and peace are without fault equally obstructed.' Doctrine &c. II. 48.
'St.Paul here warrants us to seek peace rather than to remain in bondage. If God hath called us to peace, why should not we follow him? why should we miserably stay in perpetual discord under a servitude not required? Tetrachordan, II. 215
'But if it be thought that the disciples, offended at the rigour of Christ's answer, could yet obtain no mitigation of the former sentence pronounced to the Pharisees, it may be fully answered, that our Saviour continues the same reply to his disciples, as men leavened with the same customary license which the Pharisees maintained, and displeased at the removing of a traditional abuse, whereto they had so long not unwillingly been used.' Doctrine, &c. Prose Works, II. 25. 'Some may think, if this our Saviour's sentence be so fair, as not commanding aught that patience or nature cannot brook, why then did the disciples murmur and say, It is not good to marry? I answer, that the disciples had been longer bred up under the Pharisæan doctrine, than under that of Christ, and so no marvel though they yet retained the infection of loving old licentious customs; no marvel though they thought it hard they might not for any offence, that thoroughly angered them, divorce a wife, as well as put away a servant, since it was but giving her a bill, as they were taught.' Tetrachordon, II. 204.
'For although God in the first ordaining of marriage taught us to what end he did it, in words expressly implying the apt and chearful conversation of man with woman, to comfort and refresh him against the evil of solitary life, not mentioning the purpose of generation till afterwards, as being but a secondary end in dignity, though not in necessity,' &c. Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce. Prose Works, I. 343.
'Thus much that the word fornication is to be understood as the language of Christ understands it, for a constant alienation and disaffection of mind, or for the continual practice of disobedience and crossness from the duties of love and peace.' Tetrachordon, II. 200.
'And also that there was no need our Saviour should grant divorce for adultery, it being death by law, and law then in force.'

Parallel adder is a combinational circuit, used to add multi-bit binary numbers. With half adder and full adder in use, What is the need for going to parallel adder? What is parallel adder? How it works?
In this topic, you will get answer for all the above questions.
What is the need for parallel adder?
Half adder is used to add only two single bit binary digits(A and B). Using full adder, addition of two single bit binary digits(A and B) along with the carry from the previous digit addition is possible.
But, if we have to add two multi bit binary digits(eg. 1011 and 1001), What to do? Think of the situation given in the below diagram.
The simple solution to add multi bit binary number is the design of parallel adder.
What is Parallel Adder?
Parallel adder is a combinational logic circuit used to add multi bit binary digits. To perform this addition, full adders are cascaded with one another. The number of full adders to be cascaded depends on the number of bits in a binary digit.
For example, if you want to add two 4-bit binary numbers, you have to connect 4 number of full adders in parallel. The below block diagram shows ‘n’ number of full adders cascaded with one another to design a n-bit parallel adder.
As you can see in the diagram, An….A2 A1 A0 and Bn….B2 B1 B0 are the n-bit binary digits, which are to be added. The least significant bit(A0 and B0) are given as the input for first full adder. The next bits(A1 and B1) are given as the input for second full adder. Similarly, the most significant bits(An and Bn) of the two binary inputs are given as the input for the last full adder.
How the parallel adder works?
Initially the Carry input(Ci0) for the first full adder is set to 0. The first full adder adds the first two bits(A0 and B0) and carry input(Ci0). It will produce the sum output S0 and carry(C0). This carry output(C0) from the first half adder is given as the carry input(Ci1) for the second full adder.
The second full adder adds the next two bits (A1 and B1) and the carry input(Ci1) from the first full adder. This will produce the sum output S1 and carry(C1). This will be continued till the nth bits are processed by the nth full adder.
At the end of this addition process, the sum output is produced by all the full adders, which is equivalent to Sn….S2 S1 S0. Cn is the carry bit produced at the end of the addition process.
Design of 3-bit parallel adder
To design a 3- bit parallel adder, 3 full adders have to be considered. Two 3-bit binary numbers(A2 A1 A0 and B2 B1 B0) are considered as input. The parallel adder will produce a 3-bit binary output S2 S1 S0.
You could observe from the operation of parallel adder, that the carry bit is received by the second full adder, only after the operation of first full adder. Similarly, the nth full adder has to wait for the carry bit to be received from the (n-1)th full adder.
So we could say that, each full adder has to wait for some time to execute until the input carry occurs. This waiting time or delay is called as carry propagation delay.
Since the carry input to a full adder moves from one adder to the next adder, the parallel adder is also called as ripple carry adder.
The delay in execution time due to the carry bits can be increased by using logic gates to eliminate the inter stage carry bits. Such adder is called look ahead carry adder or fast adder. | <urn:uuid:6fe3bac5-7dc1-4128-b867-00dd9627ad2c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.electrically4u.com/design-of-parallel-adder/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.927873 | 882 | 4.125 | 4 |

Western Kentucky is expecting rain and thunderstorms over the coming days, stymying cleanup and recovery efforts in the region ravaged by tornadoes last weekend.
Crews in the area are urgently trying to place tarps on homes that have roof damage and board up windows where needed.
According to the National Weather Service, the area will get between 1.5 and 3 inches of rain by Saturday morning.
Meanwhile hundreds of workers and volunteers are still working to clear debris left in roadways and neighborhoods across a wide swath of the state affected by the catastrophic storms.
Britney Hargrove, the public information officer for Marshall County, said workers are to prevent wreckage from washing into roadways.
“Road departments from all over the place are actually in the area by Cambridge Shores today going through, trying to collect as much of that debris from the right of way, load the trucks and get it out of there now before we get so much of this rainfall,” Hargrove said.
Cambridge Shores is a neighborhood in Marshall County that was mowed over by the tornado system last week.
Hargrove said people should “tarp what you can, tarp to try to keep things as dry as possible.”
“When this kind of passes through, we can hit it hard again and hopefully people are able to get tarps up today and prepare for this rain before it really hits,” Hargrove said.
At least 3,280 homes are still without power across the region, and 2,000 of those won’t have utilities restored “for weeks.” More than 18,000 homes are under boil water advisories.
Kentucky Emergency Management Director Michael Dossett said the additional rain is “problematic.”
“It’s not what we want,” Dossett said.
In a statement from the Mayfield-Graves County Regional Emergency Operations Center, officials said efforts to clear roads and sidewalks “is about 90 percent complete” and asked people to not push limbs or debris to the edge of paved roads.
“Crews will push the debris back onto private property to assure that fire trucks and other emergency vehicles will have access throughout Mayfield and Graves County,” officials stated.
“There will be an opportunity at a later date for FEMA approved debris disposal efforts.” | <urn:uuid:e52c6599-deab-492a-9515-70bb05db6db5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://wfpl.org/rain-headed-to-western-kentucky-complicating-tornado-cleanup/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571869.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813021048-20220813051048-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.957524 | 500 | 1.695313 | 2 |
Natural gas pre-mixture is ignited by a small amount of pilot fuel in the dual fuel engine. In this paper, numerical studies were carried out to investigate the combustion and exhaust gas emissions formation process of this engine type by using a multi dimensional model combined with the detailed chemical kinetics including 57 chemical species and 290 elementary reactions. In calculation, the effect of the pre-mixture concentration on combustion was examined. The result indicated that the increased concentration of natural gas could improve the burning fraction and THC, CO emissions due to the increased pre-mixture consumption rate and the cylinders gas temperature.

'Six months ago, nobody knew about Uncle Bert'
Remains of World War II veteran returned home after 74 years
FINDLAY TWP. — It was a homecoming 74 years in the making, but for Conway resident Rich Kozak, it’s better late than never.
That homecoming began Thursday afternoon as Kozak watched with wide eyes from the tarmac at Pittsburgh International Airport as a plane came in for landing.
Once safely on the runway, the airplane passed between two firetrucks and came to rest near a small gathering of people that included Kozak and his sister, as well as U.S. Reps. Conor Lamb and Keith Rothfus, state Sen. Elder Vogel and Beaver County Commissioner Dan Camp.
About 10 minutes later, after the casket carrying the remains of his uncle had been unloaded and placed into a hearse, Kozak found it hard to express his emotions. There was relief, but sadness. Joy mixed with regret.
His uncle, Walter "Bert" Mintus, had finally returned to Pennsylvania after being shot down over the western Pacific Ocean in 1944. It took 74 years to find his body, to test the DNA and to find living relatives. Now, the only thing left was to bury Mintus next to his mother and father in the small town of Portage, Pa.
“These are emotions I’ve never had before,” Kozak, 80, said Thursday. “I almost felt like he was coming home alive. Like he’d walk down off that plane. But this is closure. He’ll be buried next to his parents now, and his grave will no longer be in water.”
Kozak was 6 years old when his uncle went missing, but he still has fond memories of the man. He remembers Mintus coming to the family farm in Cambria County and playing games with other children in the family. Sometimes he’d even offer rides to the children on his Indian motorcycle.
Kozak said he admired his uncle, even more so when Mintus enlisted February 1942 in the U.S. Navy in Pittsburgh. Only 20 years old at the time, Mintus was assigned as a radioman in the same torpedo squadron as future U.S. President George H.W. Bush.
On July 27, 1944, Mintus and two other crewmen took off from the USS San Jacinto on a bombing mission to Palau, a tiny island country in the far western Pacific Ocean. Mintus’ aircraft was the lead plane in the attack and was positioned about five miles ahead of the rest of the squadron.
As the rest of the planes approached the islands to fight the Japanese, they noticed an airplane on fire in a harbor. The three crewmen were never found and were reported as missing in action. They were all presumed dead in 1946.
Even now, Kozak remembers the day his family received a telegram saying that Mintus had been shot down. He remembers “a lot of crying,” and the family playing an audio recording of Mintus’ voice that he had mailed home during the war.
Perhaps the worst aspect, Kozak later said, is that the 23-year-old Mintus was never located or recovered. But that didn’t stop the family from pressing on decades and decades later, even when it seemed as though their efforts would never pay off.
Earlier this year, they did.
In March 2016, the family enlisted the help of Project Recover, a public-private partnership tasked with searching for and finding the remains of soldiers missing in action.
With the help of a state-of-the-art robotic underwater vehicle, Project Recover enlisted a dive team to confirm the aircraft’s location and to begin the process of identifying the three airmen within it.
Shortly after the discovery, the findings were turned over to the Department of Defense, which spent several years trying to track down descendants of the airmen.
In February, Kozak and another relative were contacted by the U.S. Navy and asked to provide a DNA sample to potentially verify Mintus’ remains. Once that sample was verified, the Navy set in motion a process that ended Saturday with the funeral in Portage, Cambria County.
But first, Kozak and his sister had to finally welcome Mintus home.
The gray November afternoon didn’t quash the positive emotions welling up inside Kozak. There were local politicians who came out to support him, as well as members of Project Recover, other family members and even a documentary film crew.
Officials from Conway also came, along with a Conway firetruck and police cruiser. Among those in attendance was Conway Mayor Debbie Giska Rose, who came to pay her respects to Mintus and Kozak.
“We were honored to be asked to be here,” she said. “It’s amazing what’s happening, after 74 years. We wanted to show our support.”
There were several suspenseful moments Thursday afternoon after the plane landed. Mintus’ casket traveled on a commercial flight, and the passengers all had to exit the plane before it was unloaded.
About 10 minutes after landing, a half-dozen Navy members in their uniforms waited as the casket, draped in an American flag, was unloaded from the plane. The Navy members then carried it to a hearse, which promptly drove off the tarmac.
The casket was held there Thursday but was transported two hours back to Portage on Friday morning. Mintus’ funeral was held Saturday.
For Kozak, the entire process has been highly emotional, and it’s brought attention to a man who very much deserves it.
“Six months ago, nobody knew about Uncle Bert,” he said. “Now, thousands of people know about Uncle Bert. I’m just so proud.”
Kozak had high praise for all of the moving parts that came together to get his Uncle Bert home, including those from Project Recover. He said that if everyone who helped were on the same football team, “it’s like we made the Super Bowl.”
He later described the process as “a dream come true” that his uncle got the chance to have a homecoming he’s so richly deserved, albeit 74 years late.
“It’s an exciting day for our family to bring him back home,” Kozak said. “It’s a tribute to him and all the veterans who never came home.” | <urn:uuid:0308e9d5-f69e-4b48-882e-a2549a8a4e66> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.timesonline.com/story/lifestyle/around-town/2018/11/11/six-months-ago-nobody/8404287007/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.985846 | 1,391 | 1.789063 | 2 |

Although dads still have a reputation of being less involved with their kids and are referred to as "babysitters" when they do provide care, a recent study is showing what modern-day dads are actually like.
In a shift from previous generations, the new research shows that not only are dads today less strict, but their kids also fear them less. Nickelodeon Australia spearheaded the study, appropriately called "Wait Until Your Father Gets Home," and found that modern-day dads fall into three different categories:
Provider Dads: According to the research, these are the dads making the primary income and taking parental direction from the mom or the main caregiver. This is the more traditional dad who helps out when needed but leaves most of the childcare up to the mom.
Super-Sub Dads: These dads are still working full-time, but they are also heavily involved in parenting. They are the "tag team" coparents who take on more of the traditionally female tasks, help out outside of work, and jump in on the weekends.
Carer Dads: Dads who are the primary caregivers fit into this category. These dads either work at home or work part-time and are responsible for much more than the other two types of dads. They are hands-on and don't let gender norms or stereotypes get in the way of their parenting.
Out of the 900 dads studied, 54 percent feel that their jobs are less understanding about the changes that come with becoming a dad, and 42 percent think that the media portrays dads as clueless and dumb. Although the research also found that kids now see the phrase "wait until your father gets home" as a reward rather than a threat, 50 percent of dads think the media needs to do a better job of showing fathers being sensitive while interacting with their kids.
"Today's dads are increasingly more involved in the day-to-day decisions around the household," Kirsty Bloore, a senior director at Viacom International Media Network, said in a statement. "They purchase groceries, make decisions on what clothes and toys to buy and are involved in choosing day care. Most importantly, dads feel they should be portrayed as being much more involved and nurturing." | <urn:uuid:271e3dfd-f647-46a2-a40a-078af19d29b9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.popsugar.com/family/Types-Modern-Dads-43276144 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.978298 | 453 | 2.046875 | 2 |

Comet McNaught - A First Light Present for STEREO
This image of Comet McNaught comes from the Heliospheric Imager on one of the STEREO spacecraft, taken Jan. 11, 2007. To the right is the comet nucleus, so bright it saturates the detector creating a bright vertical band in the image. The comet's dynamic tails extend up and to the left.
The lowest of the tails is the ion tail, which points along the direction of the solar wind. Above that is the comet's dust tail pushed out by radiation pressure from the sun. The tail is highly structured, probably the result of dynamic activity in the comet itself.
Although the two STEREO observatories have been turning on their instruments since mid-December, the Heliospheric Imagers on this spacecraft turned on for the first time on Jan. 11 - just in time to see the spectacular Comet McNaught.
The Heliospheric Imagers are designed to observe the space between the Sun and the Earth in order to watch solar storms as they head our way. But here the Heliospheric Imagers are also able to observe Comet McNaught as it heads towards the sun.
STEREO's SECCHI/HI instrument was built by a consortium led by the Naval Research Laboratory (USA), and includes the University of Birmingham (UK), Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK) and Centre Spatiale de Liege (Belgium). Image credit: NASA

The Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering & Science hosts one of the nation’s highly regarded engineering programs that includes a concentration in naval engineering. Deeply embedded in marine and oceanographic engineering, this engineering program concentration focuses on the study of surface and subsurface ships, aircraft, ocean structures and shore facilities used by the U.S. Navy. Ship design, safety and agility are crucial elements of national defense, but also effect maritime trade and transport for civilians. Today's naval engineer must possess a strong background in the physical sciences, mathematics and modeling, as well as the more specialized fields of naval architecture, marine engineering, systems engineering and environmental engineering.
At Stevens, world class professors and facilities prepare students to design, build, operate and maintain ships and other waterborne vessels and oceanographic technology. Located across the Hudson River from New York City, the epicenter of ship design and harbor operations, Stevens collaborates with the government and private companies in design and testing, ensuring that students receive the technical knowledge and practical experience necessary to thrive in the professional world. At Stevens, students can explore:
- Ship and hull design
- Propulsion systems
- Effects of ocean properties on ship transport
- Homeland security and waterfront defense technology
Students in the program also have access to the renowned Davidson Laboratory, a nationally-recognized center for maritime design research that attracts external organizations to use its towing tank and wave tank. The program is conducted in concert with the Office of Naval Research — sponsored Atlantic Center for the Innovative Design and Control of Small Ships — which has one of the leading ship design programs in the world — and in collaboration with University College London. | <urn:uuid:fc5a79f1-e8f7-4e1d-96be-2871caa8ed5b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://marinetraining.eu/node/650 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.940683 | 344 | 2.4375 | 2 |
