Versatile, reliable and economical: it’s easy to understand what makes the Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules the most successful military transport of all time. But for the AC-130 “gunship” version of this four-engined beast another word comes to mind: lethal. The origins of the U.S. Air Force (USAF) gunship program go back to 1965 in Vietnam, when vintage Douglas C-47 Skytrains of the 4th Air Commando Squadron were fitted with three 7.62mm Gatling-type miniguns firing through side windows and the cargo door. Operating at night at low altitudes, these crude gunships delivered such an overwhelming volume of fire that they often saved outposts and villages from being overrun by North Vietnamese and Vietcong attacks. The early AC-47s relied on parachute flares to see its targets, but were gradually upgraded by successive generations of electro-optical night-vision devices. The rifle-caliber mini-guns were supplemented by 20 mm VulcanGatling and 40 mm Bofors L/60 automatic cannon, and even a low-recoil version of the Army’s 105 mm howitzer.
Eventually the elderly C-47s were replaced by newer airframes: the Fairchild C-119 and finally the C-130. The ground troops’ affectionate nickname, “Spooky” endured, however, with the AC-130U. The AC-130H bears the official USAF name of “Spectre.” The “J” model C-130, but for its characteristic six-bladed propellers, is externally similar to previous models, but on the inside it is very much a 21st century aircraft. On the flight deck a “glass cockpit” replaces the banks of analog mechanical instruments that engineers today jokingly call “steam gauges.” The many digital systems allow reduction of the flight crew to just a pilot, co-pilot and loadmaster, eliminating the need for flight engineer or navigator. New Rolls-Royce AE-2100 turboprop engines drive the advanced six-bladed composite propellers. With over 180 delivered so far, the Air Force has chosen the C-130J as the platform for the next generation of the gunship.
The nature of war has changed, and America’s overwhelming firepower sometimes seems to create more problems than it solves. America’s enemies have learned to hide among innocent noncombatants and to propagandize the inevitable collateral damage that results from our close air support attacks. Rather than more devastating weapons, senior commanders are now urgently demanding far more precise weapons that create vastly less destruction. The solution is a new generation of small guided missiles that will equip the AC-130J. Mounted in groups on wing pylons, or dispensed from a launcher installed in the plane’s cargo ramp, two new munitions, Griffin and Viper Strike, will allow operators to make pin-point attacks from a greater stand-off range, with less risk of collateral damage to civilians. Developed by Raytheon, Griffin is a tube-launched missile with a semi-active laser seeker. This means that a laser designator, either on the ground or in the air, must “paint” the target with coded pulses of invisible coherent light. The seeker head in the missile detects the laser spot, recognizes the code pattern and homes in on the target. Originally intended as a lightweight weapon for the MQ-1 Predator drone, Griffin uses proven components from the FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank and AIM-9X Sidewinder missiles. A Predator can carry three Griffins in place of one heavy (100 pounds/45.5 kg) Hellfire missile, allowing more targets to be struck in a single sortie. In November 2008, U.S. Special Operations Command ordered 130 Griffins, with an option for an additional 200.
Northrop Grumman developed the GBU-44 Viper Strike glide bomb in 2002, using technology derived from the Army’s cancelled Brilliant Anti-Tank (BAT) submunition. In place of the BAT’s acoustic sensor of (intended to home on the sound of vehicle engines) Viper Strike combines GPS-aided guidance with semi-active laser homing. It can use the same wide range of airborne and ground-based laser target designators as Griffin, and many other precision munitions. In late 2004 it was field-tested in Iraq onboard the Army’s MQ-5 Hunter UAV. As an unpowered glide bomb, Viper Strike’s range depends on the release altitude, as well environmental factors; but a nominal glide ratio of 10:1 suggests that from an altitude of 6,000 feet it could potentially strike a target over ten miles distant. The AC-130J will also pack a powerful gun: the ATK Mk. 44 Bushmaster 30 mm automatic cannon. This weapon fires up to 250 rounds per minute, using a chain drive powered by a one-horsepower electric motor. A dual-feed selector allows rapid switching between two kinds of ammunition; typically high explosive incendiary (HEI), or high explosive dual purpose (HEDP), which can penetrate light armor. Effective range of the gun is about 3,000 meters (9,800 feet). Plans announced in April 2010 are for AFSOC to acquire 15 of the new AC-130Js, based on new production airframes from Lockheed Martin. In addition, AFSOC will retain their remaining AC-130U Spectres, while retiring older gunships based on earlier Hercules models. This should give AFSOC a credible gunship force well into the 21st century. | <urn:uuid:ec3a3293-931e-4f84-81f8-a6813e8c3815> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.defensemedianetwork.com/stories/ac-130j-afsocs-new-gunship/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.93054 | 1,178 | 2.8125 | 3 |
When it comes to cancer, spotting the disease earlier can quite literally mean the difference between life and death, and now researchers in Denmark have announced a new computer diagnostics algorithm that's able to identify several types of cancers in just two days.
Right now, doctors can correctly diagnose the majority of cancers at the same time as identifying the site of cancer itself, so they know right away if it's affecting the lungs, brain, or another part of the body. However, in a small number of cases - around 1 in 20 - they have to refer the patient elsewhere before the type of cancer can be established, and that leads to an extended delay before treatment can begin.
It's this 5 percent of patients that the system developed by researchers at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is intended to help. In fact, in some cases the cancer is never properly identified at all, so patients are given a cocktail of chemotherapy drugs that might not actually be properly targeting the right cells.
The new computer program has achieved an 85 percent success rate so far, and the team behind it hopes to produce even quicker diagnosis results in the future. The set of algorithms, dubbed TumorTracer, is based on DNA analysis of cancers found in other patients. It's a self-learning system - by comparing thousands of samples, the software is able to come up with a number of possible primary localisations of the cancer.
Finding and targeting the cancer earlier could not only improve the chances of a full recovery, it can also help doctors prescribe more targeted treatments that are less painful for the patient.
"We are very pleased that we can now use the same sequencing data together with our new algorithms to provide a much faster diagnosis for cancer cases that are difficult to diagnose, and to provide a useful diagnosis in cases which are currently impossible to diagnose," said DTU's Aaron Eklund. "At the moment, it takes researchers two days to obtain a biopsy result, but we expect this time to be reduced as it becomes possible to do the sequencing increasingly faster. And it will be straightforward to integrate the method with the methods already being used by doctors."
It sounds promising, but the scientists aren't stopping there: they eventually want to adapt and develop the system to be able to spot the onset of cancer in a blood sample - that would make monitoring high-risk individuals much easier, enabling the disease to be spotted even earlier. | <urn:uuid:48262973-7322-43ba-876f-7df62cf47520> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.sciencealert.com/this-new-computer-program-can-diagnose-cancers-in-just-two-days | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.96368 | 490 | 3.46875 | 3 |
Who and what should we believe?
Are masks good or bad? Is Bill Gates benevolent or evil? Is there a deep state conspiracy to profit off fear? Is a shadow government pulling the strings? Or is big pharma? Can vaccines be trusted? Can scientists? Or are they intentionally hiding findings that could help us?
These are questions I’ve seen throughout my social media feeds. People, in an attempt to discover what is true, are sharing anything and everything that confirms their suspicions about *gestures widely*.
There is a lot of noise out here. A lot. Some of it is true, some of it has truth amongst opinion, some is flat out lies, and some is intentionally designed to sow discord and make us miserable. And based on my desire to stress eat an entire sleeve of Oreos, I think that part is working.
Social media has elevated every voice. This can be a good and beautiful thing, but can also quickly become problematic. Voices that are dishonest, hateful, and have less than healthy motivations have a chance to be heard and spread widely.
How do we tell the difference? How do we know who to believe? What can be trusted? And how to do we cut back on the constant chatter about what is true? I have some suggestions.
But before that we should know the damage all this noise is doing. Every debunked article we share makes us less trustworthy people. Every false narrative we push is bearing false witness. We hinder our influence in the world when we are quick to jump on each and every claim we come across.
We are becoming suspicious, fearful people who trust no one. We are being shaped by the media we consume. It forms our priorities, our worldview, and the way we love (or hate) our neighbor. This is not a healthy way to live.
This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t search for truth or ask hard questions. I think there are times when truth is covered up, when the popular opinion is wrong, and the lone voice is the one proclaiming what it is real. On our search for answers, though, we need to be careful, thoughtful, and consistent.
We could probably do without sharing every article or video that confirms our opinion. When we share what we think is true, rather than what we know is true, this adds to the confusion. If we don’t know the veracity of a claim, we shouldn’t share it. Even if we believe it. We shouldn’t say, “I don’t know if this is true, but…” By clicking share we are adding our weight to the argument. We can hold an opinion without proclaiming it as gospel truth to our social networks.
I’d suggest that we not believe everything we see or hear. Simply because someone made a video or podcast doesn’t make it true. Just because a website says it doesn’t make it so. Anyone can make content and upload it. You can find people on the internet who think the country of Finland doesn’t exist, Elvis is alive, and the Dallas Cowboys are a good football team. All these things are demonstrably untrue.
I’d suggest we ask for proof. Facts. Data. People should be able back up their claims, and that goes for the people sharing it as well. Before you share it, Google it. Or Ask Jeeves it. Or whatever the people are using these days. Fact check. This may mean crunching the numbers to see if they are good at math. I had a friend do this for a popular video going around recently and it turns out the math was bad, but it had already been shared by many of my friends as proof of a reality that doesn’t exist.
Look up who a person is and what things they are known for doing. If their claim is valid there should be evidence. Scientific evidence can be reproduced. Behavioral evidence repeats itself. People have histories and resumes that add to or take away from their credibility. If it can’t be verified, perhaps don’t share it?
In our rush to be right we often times share something that is wrong. I am guilty of doing this. Perhaps we should slow down. Take time to think it through and read about it. Ask the opinions of people we respect and trust to be honest. Being slow to speak (or click share) would cut down on a tremendous amount of noise in our world. We could always wait. We don’t need to be the first to champion every cause and, this one is hard for me, everyone doesn’t need to know our opinion about everything.
(I fact checked that last statement with my wife and she confirms its legitimacy)
Another thing we can do is ask questions. The more questions we ask the more we will discover what legs a claim stands on. Where do you get your information? How did you come up with these numbers? What’s your background? Do you think pineapple belongs on pizza? Questions help uncover reality. If someone won’t or can’t answer questions, they probably shouldn’t be trusted.
And we should ask questions of ourselves. Why do I believe this? Why do I want it shared? What are my motivations? Perhaps we aren’t always above board either.
We are living in troubled times. Our politics are polarized, our world is battling a pandemic, and most of us are out of our normal routines. Mix in news articles that contradict each other and we have a recipe for noise, confusion, and anxiety. We can rise above it. We can refuse to turn the volume up and can instead help turn it down.
I think it’s desperately needed for our health, for the good of our world, and for our reputations.
I’m going to try my best to think through my shares, my likes, my retweets. To filter my opinions more. To ensure what I share is real rather than imagined. I won’t get it all right, but I’d invite you to join me. We can do better than this. | <urn:uuid:b23b6c19-8018-4a4e-82fa-dbbde5800fdb> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://iamchrisgilmore.com/category/social-media/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570765.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808031623-20220808061623-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.962254 | 1,276 | 2.0625 | 2 |
VIDEO: If Animals Were Human, How Funny Would They Actually Run?
The internet if full of questionable videos, but sometimes one comes along and collects a belly laugh. Just like many families, mine has a few different group messages and texts that we like to share videos, pictures and texts that will make us laugh. My dad came across this one and was just the laugh we all needed to make it through the day.
With the state of the world and the dark cloud that has been hanging over Casper and Wyoming for the last couple of weeks, it's always nice to be able to have a good laugh. According to the Mayo Clinic, humor may not be able to cure all of your ailments, but laughter is a great stress relief. A good tear producing, snort inducing, loss of breath laugh can do the following things:
- Stimulate your organs: laughing increases oxygen, stimulates your heart and releases endorphins in your brain.
- Activate and relieve your stress response: A good laugh can drop your stress, increase and decrease your heart rate and bring your blood pressure down.
- Improve your immune system: laughing can release neuropeptides that fight stress and more serious illnesses.
- Relieve your pain: when laughing, the body can release it's own natural painkillers.
Crazy, right? Just from laughing? I promise you, if you're having a rough day and even trying to process a horrible event that is still on your mind...laugh! It will do wonders for you.
Daniel LaBelle is a comedian that creates short comedy videos to help stimulate your mind and soul by making you laugh. The video that is your laughing medicine today is hilarious! How Would Animals Run If They Were People? The title alone is enough to make you giggle.
It's interesting to think about being out hiking on Casper Mountain when all of a sudden you came across a herd of mule deer or a scurry (yep that's what you call 'em) of squirrels or you're out relaxing at Edness and a flock of ducks come running by, but instead they were people. The catch is that they still ran and acted like they do now.

1. JUDGMENT; RECOVERY OF LAND; SUFFICIENCY OF DESCRIPTION. — A judgment in an action to recover a parcel of land and to obtain a judicial declaration of ownership in favor of the plaintiff is not vitiated by an erroneous statement relative to the area of the questioned parcel, where it appears that the land is so described by boundaries as to put its identification beyond doubt. That which really defines a piece of ground is not the area, calculated with more or less certainty, mentioned in its description, but the boundaries therein laid down, as enclosing the land and indicating its limits.
This action was instituted by the plaintiff, Sinforoso Loyola, for the purpose of recovering a parcel of land and annulling the effects of the action taken by the sheriff under an execution issued pursuant to a judgment rendered in a former action wherein Leoncio Carneo was plaintiff and Sinforoso Loyola was defendant. From a judgment entered in this case in favor of the defendants the plaintiff has appealed.
The more material facts are these: On December 3, 1912, Leoncio Carneo brought an action (Civil Case No. 864) in the Court of First Instance of Tayabas against Sinforoso Loyola and Buenaventura Bobadilla for the recovery of a parcel of land. In paragraph 2 of the complaint in that case Leoncio Carneo alleged that he was the owner of a parcel of land situated in the barrio of Limbon, in the municipality of Sariaya, and described as follows:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph
"A coconut land having an area of 12 hectares, 31 ares, and 25 centares, bounded on the North by lands of Martin Orendain and Felipe Galindo; on the East by lands of Martin Orendain and a stream called Bucal; on the South by the stream called Canda; and on the West by coconut lands of Antonio Albunian."cralaw virtua1aw library
He also alleged in paragraph 3 thereof that Sinforoso Loyola and Buenaventura Bobadilla were in possession of a strip of said land of an area of about 3 hectares more or less and described as follows:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph
"A coconut land having an area of three hectares, bounded on the North by lands of Martin Orendain and Felipe Galindo, formerly, but now of Catalino Zaballero; on the East by lands of Sinforoso Balabad, formerly owned by Martin Orendain, and a stream called Bucal; on the South by lands of Regino Odias and Sinforoso Odias, and a stream called Canda; and on the West by coconut lands formerly belonging to Antonio Albunian, now to Isidro Herrera."cralaw virtua1aw library
The plaintiff in said action, Leoncio Carneo, further alleged that the defendant, Sinforoso Loyola, was asserting ownership over the parcel of land last above described, claiming to have purchased the same from one Buenaventura Bobadilla, who was named as codefendant in the same action. The plaintiff accordingly prayed that the defendant be required to restore the possession of the land in question, i. e., that described in paragraph 3 of the complaint, to the plaintiff, and to pay damages in the sum of P10,000 together with the costs of the proceeding.
Both of the defendants responded to the complaint with a general denial and asserted that neither of them had any interest in the land described in the complaint, "since the land which Sinforoso Loyola bought of his codefendant Buenaventura Bobadilla was located in the barrio of Canda, formerly Hanagdong, in Sariaya, Tayabas," its boundaries being described as follows:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph
"On the North by land of Julio Reyes, formerly, and now of Catalino Zaballero, and the main road of the barrio; on the East by land of Martin Orendain, formerly, and now of Sinforoso Balabad; on the South by land of Antonio Camania, formerly, and now of Regino and Sinforoso Odias; and on the West by land of Joaquin Garcia Lopez, formerly, and now of Isidro Herrera."cralaw virtua1aw library
On January 28, 1914, judgment was rendered in the Court of First Instance of Tayabas declaring the defendant in that case, Sinforoso Loyola, to be the owner of the land in question. Leoncio Carneo, plaintiff therein, appealed to the Supreme Court and secured a reversal of the judgment. 1 The dispositive part of the judgment of the latter court says:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph
"From all the foregoing, we are persuaded that the plaintiff is entitled to the possession of the strip of land in question (i. e., the land described in paragraph 3 of the complaint) . . . Therefore the judgment of the lower court is hereby revoked, and it is hereby ordered that a decree be entered declaring that the plaintiff is entitled to the immediate possession of the strip of land in question."cralaw virtua1aw library
Said judgment having been returned to the court below, a writ of execution was issued on November 29, 1915, by which the sheriff was ordered to place the plaintiff in possession of the strip of land described in paragraph 3 of the complaint; and the sheriff did in fact place the plaintiff in possession of the land contained within the limits described in the third paragraph of the complaint, but it was then found that in so doing, instead of having delivered a strip of land with a superficial area of three hectares. the sheriff had in fact delivered a compact parcel containing an area of 12 hectares, 31 ares, and 25 centares. an area of 12 hectares, 31 ares, and 25 centares.
To obtain relief against the error of the sheriff, thus supposed to have been committed, the attorney for Sinforoso Loyola appeared in the Court of First Instance on December 3, 1915, and moved the court to vacate the writ of execution on the ground that it ordered the delivery to the plaintiff of a parcel of land of an area of 12 hectares more or less and different from the strip of three hectares for which judgment had been obtained. The Court of First Instance with a view to getting at the truth of the contention, thereupon ordered each of the respective parties to procure a survey to be made of the land supposed to be covered by the judgment. These surveys were made, the plans were presented to the court, and with the approval of the court the sheriff again delivered to the plaintiff the possession of the same land he had before delivered to him. Objection was again made by attorney for the defendant Sinforoso Loyola on the same ground stated in his previous objection. The court below overruled said objection and finally ordered the sheriff to put the plaintiff in possession of the parcel of land described in paragraph 3 of the complaint, with the result that, so far as the proceedings in that case are concerned, Leoncio Carneo become finally and effectually seated upon the same parcel of land, of an area of more than 12 hectares, which had already been delivered to him by the sheriff. Sinforoso Loyola thereupon instituted the present independent action, seeking the restitution of so much of the land as is in excess of three hectares. As already indicated, the result in the court of First Instance was unfavorable to this contention, and he has brought the case here for review upon appeal.
The record in the original cause of Carneo v. Loyola Et. Al., Civil Case No. 864 of the Court of First Instance of Tayabas, was introduced in evidence in the present proceeding; and the court has therefore, in this case had before it not only the original evidence taken in this proceeding but also the additional matter on which the former judgment was founded.
The statement contained in the original complaint in the case of Carneo v. Loyola, Et Al., was misleading with respect to the superficial extension of the land described in paragraph 3 of said complaint, for when reference is had to the boundaries therein laid down, it is found that said area is 12.3125 hectares, or exactly the area attributed to the larger parcel described in paragraph 2 of the same complaint. The area of this latter parcel is itself in turn understated in the complaint, for by referring to the plans it is seen that, if the limits of this parcel are extended to the estero [estuary] Bucal on the east and to the estero Canda on the south, the tract of land included in the limits indicated is greatly in excess of 12 hectares. It is further to be noted here that although the boundaries of the parcel described in paragraph 2 are in several features identical with those of the parcel 3, they differ in the fact that the esteros mentioned are given only as boundaries to parcel 2. It is proved that Leoncio Carneo did in fact once own a larger tract in this neighborhood reaching, perhaps, to the esteros in question, but he had sold off several parcels to various purchasers before the first lawsuit was begun, and it does not clearly appear from the proof whether at that date he owned any more in this neighborhood than the 12 hectares, more or less, included in the boundaries described in paragraph 3.
If the complaint filed by Leoncio Carneo was misleading with respect to the area of the parcel which he sought to recover, the answer interposed by Sinforoso Loyola and Buenaventura Bobadilla was no less misleading in the statement that said defendants had nothing to do with the land described in the complaint, for at that very time, Sinforoso Loyola had in his possession the entire 12 hectares included in the boundaries mentioned in paragraph 3 of the complaint and was unlawfully excluding Leoncio Carneo therefrom.
In the original action Leoncio Carneo proved ownership of the entire 12 hectares now in question by means of a composition title originally issued in the name of one Sixto Galera, in connection with certain other documents and testimonial proof showing the plaintiff’s title thereto. The proof adduced by Leoncio Carneo in said action showing ownership over this entire property was most complete and perfect; and the proposition cannot be refuted that he was, upon the date when his original action was instituted, the real and true owner thereof. It is also to be observed that Carneo’s title to the whole was of the same character throughout, and if he was the owner of a supposed strip of three hectares, he was also the owner of the entire parcel of 12 hectares.
It is not to be denied that when this court decided the case upon the prior appeal, it was here supposed that the parcel in question, contained within the boundaries described in paragraph 3 of the complaint, and for which judgment was given in favor of the plaintiff, was a strip lying within a larger parcel and that this controverted strip contained an area of only 3 hectares. The question is therefore presented whether a judgment awarding a recovery of certain land with specified boundaries is vitiated or in any wise affected by the erroneous statement contained in the judgment with respect to the area of such land.
We are of the opinion that where the boundaries stated are sufficiently clear and explicit to identify the land which is the subject of the judgment, the erroneous statement concerning the area should be ignored. As was well said in the lower court by Judge Paredes on January 14, 1916, in disposing of the motion by the attorney for Sinforoso Loyola for the annulment of the execution in this case, that which really defines a piece of ground is not the area, calculated with more or less certainty, mentioned in its description, but the boundaries therein laid down, as enclosing the land and indicating its limits.
The idea here to be applied is of necessity the same as that applicable in a contract for the sale of land in a mass, with respect to which it is well established that the specific boundaries stated in the contract must control over any statement with respect to the area contained within those boundaries. It is not of vital consequence that a deed or contract for the sale of land should declare the area with mathematical accuracy. It is sufficient if its extent is objectively indicated with sufficient precision to enable one to identify it; and where the boundaries given are adequate for this purpose, an error as to the superficial area is immaterial.
Similarly, an error in a judgment of a court, in supposing that the land inclosed within certain defined limits is of less extension than it in fact possesses, cannot invalidate the judgment. This must be especially true in a case where it is evident, as here, that the land contained in the stated boundaries was the real and true subject matter of the dispute.
In the case before us, if an attempt were made to limit the area, for which judgment is supposed to have been given, to three hectares, there is no means by which said three hectares could be identified with any certainty. There is to be sure a patch, or strip, lying in the southeastern corner of the larger parcel and containing an area of something more than one hectare, which the plaintiff herein would have us believe was the strip actually in dispute; but there is nothing to indicate clearly the modern and western boundaries which would have to be followed in order to include an area of three hectares. In other words the three hectares to which the present plaintiff would limit the operation of the prior judgment could not be located at all.
There is, in our opinion, no just basis for the assumption that the boundaries described in paragraph 3 of the original complaint (Carneo v. Loyola et. al.) refer to any other parcel of land than that which the sheriff has delivered to Leoncio Carneo. The only mistake, which has been made, so far as we can discover, is in the mistaken assumption as to the area of the parcel for which this court intended judgment should be given. It is, however, earnestly contended for the appellant that there is not only error as to the area but error as to the identity of the questioned parcel. This contention is, we think, untenable. Everything done by the sheriff was done under the eye of the Court of First Instance, and several judges at one time or another have intervened in the proceeding. Under their supervision every care was taken to carry the judgment of this court into effect in accordance with its true intent; and in our opinion the identity of the parcel delivered is clearly established by an inspection of the plans, in connection with the other proof. It is the duty of a Court of First Instance to see that its own judgments, as well as judgments returned for execution from this court, are properly carried into effect. The sheriff is the appointed executive for executing such judgment, and what he does is subject to the control of the court. Therefore, the action of the sheriff, under the order and direction of the court, is presumptively correct; and his return must be accepted as true until error is clearly shown. The proof, we think, fully supports the correctness of this presumption in the present case.
What we have said suffices for the determination of the vital point of the case and demonstrates that the plaintiff is entitled to no relief in this or any other proceeding. There is another point, however, which impressed the lower court as showing an entire lack of merit in the plaintiff’s contention. As was noted by Judge Abreu, in the Court of First Instance, the plaintiff herein, Sinforoso Loyola, has not shown, nor attempted to show that he is the real owner of any part of the parcel of land of which he has been deprived. Indeed, he could not show that fact, for the record contains indubitable evidence that the true owner of the whole is Leoncio Carneo. What the present plaintiff seeks in this proceeding is to have restitution of possession, basing his claim in this regard upon the fact of his own prior possession and the supposed irregularity of the proceedings by which he was deprived of that possession. The trial judge was of the opinion that the plaintiff was not entitled to relief without proof of ownership. Without meaning definitely to determine the point we incline to the view that his Honor was correct. The action to obtain relief against a mistake in a former judgment or against error in the proceedings for carrying a former judgment into effect is of an equitable nature; and in such a proceeding a court should not grant relief in the absence of proof that injustice has been done. Even if it were shown that this plaintiff had lost possession as an accidental consequence of irregular action in the prior proceeding, could a court of equity be induced to exert its powers in his favor in this independent proceeding without proof that he had been deprived of property which justly belonged to him? We think not. The mere possessory right must be considered to have been destroyed as a consequence of the proceedings taken in the former action, for those proceedings involved the legitimate exercise of judicial power and the action of the sheriff therein was prima facie lawful.
Our conclusion is that the judgment entered in the lower court denying the relief sought is correct, and the same is hereby affirmed, with costs against the appellant. So ordered.

This is an historical perspective on the Arab Spring – particularly in Egypt, but generalisable to some extent to other Arab countries – from a historian by education and practice. A peculiar personal experience drew me from being another Egyptian protesting in Tahrir Square in Cairo to the state historian of the Egyptian revolution. Only one week after Hosni Mubarak stepped down as president, the head of the Egyptian National Archives together with the Minister of Culture appointed me as Chair of an official committee empowered to document the momentous popular uprising of January 2011 that captured the attention of the world. I assembled a team of archivists, historians and IT experts. We set about planning how to accomplish the mammoth task ahead of us.
Soon we found ourselves having to find answers to difficult questions: ‘How do we go about collecting people’s testimonies?’ for example. Or, more worrisome, given that we were a government committee: ‘Can we guarantee that the testimonies do not end up falling into the hands of security agencies to be used against the same people who had entrusted us with these potentially self-incriminating testimonies?’
Historical questions presented the most difficulty. When did the revolution end? Did it end with Mubarak’s step-down? With the constitutional amendments of March 2011 that banned the then ruling party, dissolved parliament and called for fresh parliamentary elections? With these parliamentary elections that were held in November 2011? With the presidential elections in June the following year? Given that we were still attending funerals of friends and loved ones, running from one police station to another looking for demonstrators who had been arrested, and still demonstrating to demand the release of our comrades – given all this, was the revolution still going on?
Most difficult of all were questions not about when and how the revolution ended – if ever it did – but when it began and where it originated. Was it launched on 25 January 2011, National Police Day, when we took to the streets to protest against the endemic use of torture in prisons and other places of detention? Or did it begin on 14 January when Ben Ali, the Tunisian President, fled his country to Saudi Arabia, inspiring people in Egypt to say: ‘If the Tunisians could do it, then maybe we can, too’?
Or was its beginning on New Year’s Eve 2010 when Muslims and Copts took to the streets protesting against what they believed was their government’s complicity in the bombing of churches? Or a few months earlier with the beating to death of the young Alexandrian activist Khaled Said, who later became the icon of the revolution? Did it start in 2008 when thousands took to the streets all over the country in solidarity with the striking workers in the industrial town of Mahalla? Or were its origins in 2004 with the birth of the Kefaya (Enough!) Movement, whose members were protesting, week in and week out, against Mubarak’s dictatorial rule?
Did it start in March 2003 when we took to the streets protesting against the US bombing of Iraq and when we occupied Tahrir for a few hours? Or did it begin in March 2000 when the Israeli Prime Minister paid his ill-fated visit to al-Haram al-Sharif in Jerusalem, prompting thousands of Egyptian university students to spill out of their university gates to demonstrate in solidarity with the Second Palestinian Intifada?
My colleagues on the committee and I pondered these questions, and probed even more difficult ones.
During the last years of Mubarak’s long reign, were we demonstrating against the President grooming his son Gamal to take over the presidency and effectively transform the republic into a monarchy? Were we demonstrating against the endemic use of torture by the Egyptian police? Were we demonstrating against the debased choice with which Mubarak presented us, whereby he was effectively telling Egyptians: ‘Either accept my torture chambers or Islamist rule’?
Or did the revolution have deeper roots still? Was it, rather, a revolution not only against Mubarak’s 30 black years, but against the July Regime set down 60 years earlier in the wake of the 23 July 1952 revolution? That revolution offered us another debased choice: giving up our constitutional and political rights in exchange for social and economic rights. Were we rebelling to assert our entitlement to have both kinds of rights – constitutional and political, as well as social and economic? Egyptians who took to the streets on 25 January 2011 overwhelmed the police by our numbers, determination and tenacity in just three days. Were we then, on 28 January, the Friday of Rage, doing what we should have done in the wake of Egypt’s catastrophic defeat in the Six-Day War on 6 June 1967, when, instead of asking the Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser to step down and face trial, we begged him to rescind his resignation and remain the country’s uncontested leader?
Or did the revolution have even deeper roots? Perhaps we were protesting against the intrinsic military character of the modern Egyptian state – a state put in place by Mehmed Ali in 1805. Mehmed Ali, a Macedonian adventurer, set about to change the status of Egypt from a mere province of the Ottoman Empire to a special realm that he and his sons could rule for a hundred years. In doing so, he founded an army that would dominate all aspects of Egyptian life and forever change the nature of the country. Were we specifically rebelling against the state that was created as a result of founding this army, an army that forced peasants to serve dynastic interests that made no sense to them, to struggle for causes in which they did not believe, and to die in wars that were not theirs.
These are the questions that I faced when I undertook to chair the committee that was to document the January 2011 revolution. The questions made me see that Egyptians were revolting not only against Mubarak and his cronies, but against a state that, to paraphrase Karl Marx, came dripping from head to foot, from every pore, with dirt and blood. The modern Egyptian state was not founded on the flimsiest notion of constitutionalism or the rule of law. We entered into no social contract that tied us to our ruler, who descended on us with his ilk like vultures ravaging town and country.
It is a state that has repeatedly failed its citizens, is inherently despotic, and suffers from a foundational legitimacy crisis.
For the past 200 years, Egyptians have not spared any effort in rebelling against this tyrannical state. In contrast to what is taught in Egyptian schools, we did not revolt only against foreign invaders, be they French or British. We also resisted this domestic Leviathan by all means at our disposal.
In 1824, and in the wake of higher taxation, more frequent corvée (forced labour) levies, a draconian monopolies policy and, above all, an unprecedented conscription policy, Egyptian peasants revolted in a massive popular uprising in the south. This peasant uprising spread from Qina to Aswan, and 20,000 men and women participated; 4,000 of them were killed. The following year, an equally large uprising spread in the Delta, only to be quelled by six machine guns commanded by Mehmed Ali in person.
In 1844, another large uprising erupted in Menoufia in the Delta, where government warehouses were set on fire and the pasha’s agents taken hostages. There were also cases where peasants were reported to have uprooted cotton plants from their fields, despite the fact that cotton was one of the world’s most valuable commodities. Destroying it would have cost farmers dearly. Then 1863 saw a large uprising erupt in the south of Egypt, in the same area of the 1821 rebellion.
In 1879-1882, people from across Egyptian society rose in a nationwide revolution under Ahmed Urabi. Urabi headed a movement aiming to subject the Egyptian military state to constitutional rule, one that would define the rights and responsibilities of the khedive, the monarchial ruler, and separate his purse from the public purse. In short, Egyptians sought to put limits on the monarch’s unlimited power. The revolution was on the cusp of succeeding, but on 11 July 1882 the British navy answered the khedive’s call for help in confronting the Egyptian people’s constitutional movement. The British bombarded Alexandria and defeated Urabi’s troops, inaugurating a military occupation that would last 70-odd years.
The British occupation dissipated Egyptians’ revolutionary energies. Occupied Egypt had to fight for constitutional rights and for independence at the same time. Two and a half decades after the defeat of Urabi’s army and the landing on Egyptian soil of British troops, Egyptians rose in one massive revolution in 1919 asking for both independence and a constitution. The much‑anticipated independence, however, fell far short of revolutionary expectations, for in 1922 the British handed Egypt a truncated independence that allowed British troops to stay on Egyptian soil, and deprived Egypt from the right to shape its own foreign policy. More seriously, the British interfered in the constitution-writing process, tilting the 1923 Constitution toward the palace, giving the crown powers that enabled it to dominate parliament.
Those of us who were not tortured, imprisoned or exiled found ourselves marching straight to a dark abyss
The period between 1923 and 1952 is often called the golden age of liberal Egypt, but it was neither golden nor liberal. The British continued to maintain their grip over Egypt. The monarch continued to use a constitutional licence allowing him to dissolve parliament at will. Throughout the second quarter of the 20th century, Egyptian political parties failed to develop strategies to defeat either the colonial occupier or local tyranny. The moment was ripe for Egyptians to take to the streets, for the appearance of mass politics.
The political stalemate was broken in 1952, when Gamal Abdel Nasser and his junta staged a coup. They abolished the monarchy, suspended parliamentary politics, persecuted all major political players of the ancien régime, rounded up thousands of communists and sent them to remote prisons, and arrested tens of thousands of Muslim Brotherhood members whom they subjected to indescribable torture. Those of us who were not tortured, imprisoned or exiled found ourselves marching in unison behind our leader, straight to a dark abyss.
Following the June 1967 war, Egyptians rose once more and protested against the lenient sentences that those responsible for this catastrophic defeat had received. A couple of years later, Egyptian universities burst at the seams with demonstrations against a seemingly indecisive policy toward our erstwhile foreign enemy, Israel. In 1977, we took to the streets again in massive numbers against the government’s economic austerity measures. Nine years later, our brethren in the Central Security Forces rose in one massive uprising against the draconian conditions of their conscription. Fourteen years later, in 2000, we took to the streets in large numbers protesting against the Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s visit to Jerusalem’s al-Haram al-Sharif, the third holiest site in Islam.
Thus we are back full-circle to the immediate causes of the revolution of 25 January 2011.
On that day, I went to Tahrir Square to join what I thought would be yet another small demonstration, doomed to be crushed by overwhelming police force. The minute I stepped in, however, I realised that this time the situation was different. Our numbers were huge. The slogans were new. There was the same beat as familiar slogans, but now I heard strange, unrecognisable words. Soon, I figured out what people were shouting: ‘Al-sha‘b.’ Stop. ‘Yurid.’ Stop. ‘Isqat al-Nizam.’ Stop. ‘The people.’ ‘Demand.’ ‘The downfall of the regime.’ Goosebumps spread all over my body. I then found myself joining tens of thousands of fellow citizens at the top of my voice.
For the following 18 days, I went to Tahrir nearly every day, returning home only to sleep and get provisions for my friends who preferred to camp in the square. Mubarak’s step-down was only a matter of time, we firmly believed: the regime is teetering on the brink of collapse; we are finally making our voice heard; we are shaping our country’s future. And soon a new slogan spread like wildfire throughout the huge midan and was repeated by hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life: ‘Irfa‘ rasak fo’. Inta Masri.’ ‘Lift up your head. You’re Egyptian’.
Three and a half years later, this confident, hopeful mood is no more. Instead of the open, democratic country that seemed, for a short while, to be ours at last, Egypt is now in the grip of a military dictatorship that has arrested our friends, imprisoned our comrades and quashed our dreams. Kangaroo trials have passed death sentences on hundreds of Islamists in sessions lasting less than an hour. And on 14 August 2013, security forces committed what Human Rights Watch described as one of the world’s largest killings of demonstrators on a single day in recent history, a massacre in Raba’a Square in Cairo that was more lethal than Tiananmen Square and which probably amounts to a crime against humanity.
How did the 18 days in Tahrir that saw so many Egyptians embracing these lofty ideals lead to 12 hours in Raba’a Square that witnessed a massacre in which more than 800 people were killed? How did we start in such hope in 2011 and end up with this bloodbath in 2013? How did the Arab spring morph into an Arab nightmare, out of which we seem not able to awaken?
Far from being a Facebook phenomenon, a foreign conspiracy, or an insurrection staged by a handful of street urchins – as members of the current Egyptian regime in their phantasmagorical delusions insist – the Egyptian revolution has a long and venerable pedigree. We, the people, have been in a state of constant rebellion for the past 200 years, and 25 January 2011 was but the latest phase of a long struggle to force the tyrannical state to serve its citizens, instead of us serving it.
Why has it proven so difficult for Egyptians to end our status as subjects in our own country and to force our state to treat us as citizens?
Five reasons stood, and still stand, in the way of democracy in Egypt and indeed in the whole of the Arab world.
First, despite their deafening rhetoric, Western powers have not spared an effort to thwart our struggle for democracy. As noted above, the British not only crushed our first constitutional movement in 1881-82, but also handicapped our second attempt when they intervened in the writing of the 1923 Constitution to tip the balance in favour of their pliant client king and against the nascent parliament. Britain’s moment in the Middle East came to an end, of course, and the US has taken over as the global superpower. Washington, DC has not missed an opportunity to support Egyptian dictators over the Egyptian people, just as it has in neighbouring countries.
Second, the century-long Arab-Israeli conflict has sapped our energy and diverted precious resources. But more insidiously, our own despots have used it cynically to postpone democratic reforms indefinitely. The slogan ‘No call to top the call for battle’ has been deployed domestically to silence all calls for democracy and reform. Moreover, our struggle with Israel necessitated the expansion of the military. When this military failed in its mission at the borders, it diverted its energies to the domestic sphere, transforming itself into a mighty economic and political player that rightly saw democracy as inimical to its interest.
Third, the scourge of petro-dollars has meant that the oil-rich and despotic regimes of the Gulf could interfere in Egypt and support anti-democratic forces. The success of the counter-revolution following 30 June 2013 could not be understood without taking into account the billions of dollars that both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates paid the new Egyptian regime. This heavy support from the Gulf states to the counter-revolutionary regime stems from their realisation that the Egyptian revolution could have a domino effect in the region. If allowed to succeed, it could shake the despotic foundations of these Gulf states.
We in Egypt, Libya and Syria found that we had opened the Pandora’s box of political Islam
Fourth, the tragedy of Egypt’s current revolution also lies in our inability to look back to our modern history and choose a moment that we would like to resurrect or emulate. There is no ‘reset button’ that we can press to jumpstart our history; no one specific dark moment that we can simply wish away; no isolated anomalous period that we would like to suppress; no imagined golden age in which we can claim we shaped our destiny and to which we want to return. In this, Egypt is not unique. The history of postcolonial states has seen few victories of democracy and justice.
Finally, and to make things even more difficult, in attempting to tame the domestic Leviathan, we in Egypt, Libya and Syria found that we had unleashed the forces of political Islam. For our revolution posed not only the question of what ought to be the role of the army in society but also what role religion should play in politics. This matter opened up existential questions with which Egyptians and Arabs have been struggling for more than a century.
It is also true that the new regime has taken repressive measures against the Egyptian people, moving to push us back into history’s antechamber. Despite these deep problems, I remain confident that the future is ours and that our revolution will prevail. This might not happen next month, next year, or even in the next decade. Given how deep are the roots of, and reasons for, this revolution, it would be naïve to expect its victory overnight with one decisive, knockout blow. Despite the challenges, I am convinced that we are now witnessing the beginning of the end of the tyrannical Egyptian state.
My optimism derives from two simple but profound facts. The first is that the Egyptian people have asserted our presence in our own country. We have a will; we have a voice; and we have agency. In 2011, like in 1919, we made history and brought radical change. Never before in our long history, extending back to the pharaohs, did we manage to topple a leader from power. In the January revolution, the Egyptian people did just that. We asserted our right and determination to shape our own destiny.
We have opened the black box of politics. Politics is no longer what government officials, security agents or army officers decide among themselves. It is no longer what university students demonstrate about, what workers in their factories struggle with, or young men in mosques whisper over. Politics is now the stuff of coffee‑shop gossip, of housewives’ chats, of metro conversations, even of pillow talk. People now see the political in the daily and the quotidian. The genie is out of the bottle and no amount of repression can force it back in. | <urn:uuid:c0853c4a-9b68-4490-9d31-df7ca6f25b2d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://khaledfahmy.org/en/2015/11/03/the-long-revolution/?shared=email&msg=fail | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570765.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808031623-20220808061623-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.968458 | 3,954 | 1.773438 | 2 |

TWI Industrial Member Report Summary 439/1991
S M Stevens
Polypropylene (PP) is a widely used semicrystalline thermoplastic, and its mechanical properties are influenced by a number of factors, including morphology, orientation of the polymer chain, and crystallinity. These factors are dependent on the thermal history and manufacturing process, and will be influenced by welding.
There have been few studies on the molecular changes induced in a polymer by the welding process. This report describes the use of polarised Fourier transform infrared (FTIR)-microspectrometry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to evaluate molecular orientation, and structural changes, respectively, in PP hot plate and vibration welds. In addition, X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements on parent materials were used in interpretation of the DSC weld results. | <urn:uuid:2f5a7c25-5a6c-4ae3-9dbf-98cdfc6cb203> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.twi-global.com/what-we-do/research-and-technology/research-programmes/core-research-programme/report-abstracts/the-evaluation-of-molecular-orientation-and-structural-changes-in-polypropylene-welds-439-1991 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.909807 | 176 | 2.1875 | 2 |
Tropical Depression Three
5:30PM Eastern Update
Tropical Depression Three (TD3) has officially developed off of the coast of North Carolina. TD3 has maximum sustained winds of 30 mph and moving to the NNW at 5 mph (see Fig. 1). TD3 is expected to strengthen into a weak Tropical Storm by Saturday followed by further intensification into a hurricane by late Sunday or early Monday.
Fig. 1: National Hurricane Center Forecast
While intensification of TD3 is likely due to the warm sea-surface temperatures and a low environmental shear, landfall across the Carolinas does not look likely at this time. TD3 is slowly moving towards the NNW but should begin to meander (or nearly become stationary) over the weekend due to weak steering currents. By early next week, it appears a trough will pick-up the tropical cyclone and shunt it off the NE, thus, landfall is not expected across the Carolinas. Due to the Carolinas being on the west side of the tropical cyclone, no direct impacts are likely. The majority of the rain and wind associated with the system should remain offshore (however, there is an outside chance the outerbanks see scattered showers/storms).
With that said, if you live along the coast from Virginia down to South Carolina, it is wise to keep a close eye on the forecast. The National Hurricane Center does include the outerbanks of North Carolina in the official cone of uncertainty. Any small changes to certain upper-level features may make landfall more possible. Rip currents are a guaranteed hazard with this system along the East Coast so be careful if you’re headed to the beach.

Chinese lawmakers set to tighten control on Hong Kong
China’s ceremonial legislature plans to endorse the Communist Party’s latest move to tighten control over Hong Kong by reducing the role of its public in picking the territory’s leaders.
The measure adds to a crackdown against a protest movement calling for greater democracy in Hong Kong. The crackdown has prompted complaints Beijing is eroding the autonomy promised when Hong Kong return to China in 1997 and has hurt its status as a global financial center.
The National People’s Congress, which was due to end its annual meeting Thursday, will endorse “improvements to the electoral system” of Hong Kong, the body’s Standing Committee said. The plan would give a pro-Beijing committee power to appoint more of Hong Kong’s lawmakers, reducing the number elected by the public.
The NPC also was due to endorse the ruling party’s latest five-year development blueprint. It calls for stepping up efforts to transform China into a more self-reliant technology creator — a move that threatens to worsen strains with Washington and Europe over trade and market access.
The legislature has no real power but the ruling party uses its annual meeting, the year’s highest-profile political event, to showcase economic and political plans.
Its approximately 3,000 delegates are picked by the party, not the Chinese public, and routinely endorse decisions already made by party leaders. A symbolic vote of support by the NPC shows an issue is a party priority.
Last year, the party used the NPC session to impose a national security law on Hong Kong. Under that law, 47 former legislators and other pro-democracy figures have been arrested on subversion charges that carry a possible maximum penalty of life in prison.
On Sunday, Foreign Minister Wang Yi defended the latest proposed changes in Hong Kong as needed to protect its autonomy and defend its “transition from chaos to governance.”

Memorization problems such as forgetting simple errands your Mom asked you to do this morning or scribbling on a paper, recalling what you were just about to write down are both serious signs that you need to pay extra attention to your memory and your ability of doing it, which is memorizing.
But you must realize that these simple acts of forgetfulness do happen to anybody of any age range. Due to the various and hundreds of things which a person needs to think about in a day, naturally, omitting one or two things from your To-do list could happen.
There are cases though, when these incidents happen almost too often. Like for example, a friend tells you something about what you will be doing after two weeks and you end up forgetting it or a lesson you just studied two nights ago simply slipped off of your mind as if you never have read any details of it. These are serious symptoms that show your memory could be dwindling slowly and that despite your age, because memory problems can affect anyone, the activities are exposed to could be the culprit as to how you retain important information.
Aside from what you do daily, the food you eat could cause memory problems too. The brain nutrients and for you to be able to think clearly, vitamin B and amino acids should be taken properly through the food you eat.
As for other things, if you have been depressed lately or under stress for some time now, better check on what you can do to keep your mind away from these unhealthy and unfriendly memory-causing factors. Be mentally and physically active. A good oxygen supply to the brain also helps a person in thinking clearly and logically. You can do this by leading an active lifestyle.
Mental exercises keep your mind agile to the information you need to keep solely for the brain. These could be the things that your need to remember for school. Exercising your mind with memory exercises help make it a lot easier to condition it and maintain its basic function to maintain proper thinking.
Do what it takes to keep your mind busy. Its the most natural and healthy way of keeping it stagnant which causes memory problems. | <urn:uuid:2d23c4d9-d16c-4863-86ee-51cec8231b5c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://positivearticles.com/good-memory-by-keeping-your-mind-busy/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.968237 | 434 | 2.328125 | 2 |
Nowadays, some of the worst things are flies and we all seem to hate them. Flies are dipteral insects (having two wings) and belong to the same order. There are more than 1.20 million species of flies in the world.
They keep on changing in size as they grow towards maturity. But, luckily for you, in this article, we’re going to present you something very useful that will help you say goodbye to flies!
The housefly is scientifically called Musca Domestica. They are pests that don’t bite but transmits several diseases, like cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and diarrhea. Besides, they can also cause serious eye infections.
House flies get accumulated in areas where there is no cleanliness or hygiene, like for example, exposed garbage or fecal matter. Left out uncovered food also attracts flies. Areas with a lot of vegetation and thick shrubbery are ideal for the growth of flies.
For this natural remedy that will help you say goodbye to flies you need: an empty spray bottle, 1 cinnamon stick, 10 drops of detergent, 1 cup of white vinegar and 1 cup of water! Just put all the ingredients into the spray bottle and shake well! That’s it!
Just apply this mixture directly on the flies and see how they start falling straight to the ground! The results will simply amaze you!
• Keep your house premises always clean and hygienic.
• Use a good quality disinfectant that works day till night.

Current climate change must be understood within the context of past climate variations, which are inferred from indirect measurements known as paleoclimate observations. A grand challenge for paleoclimatology is that these observations come in very disparate formats, so there is no standard way to exchange these records between researchers, or with machines. This hinders their re-use and hence lowers their value to science and society. Traditionally, these observations have been archived in data warehouses where the experts that make them have very little control over them. The NSF Earthcube LinkedEarth project aims to change this by creating an online platform that will do two things: (1) enable the curation of a publicly-accessible database by paleoclimate experts and (2) foster the development of standards, so paleoclimate data are easier to analyze, share, and re-use.
LinkedEarth will lower barriers to participation in the geosciences, enabling more "dark data" to join the public domain using community-sanctioned protocols. Facilitating access to geolocated data will open the door to integration with other disciplines (e.g. climate modeling, paleoecology, paleobiology, archeology), and to new educational tools, allowing educators to weave historical narratives around events documented in the paleoclimate record.
Structured Properties: The user can create site name, archive, domains, genus, interpretation, and measurement information. There is a link to download the dataset itself.
Crowd Curation: The interface is designed for organic collection of metadata properties while encouraging reuse and normalization of properties. When a user adds a new row, they can choose a new name for the property they want to specify. The systems uses a command line completion search (similar to Google's search completion) to show properties defined by other users that match what the user is typing. This capability gives users freedom to define their own metadata terms, while encouraging normalization and convergence.
Adoption: The metadata properties need not be predefined in advance, instead each user will be able to add new ones or mat adopt existing properties. The system automatically searches for existing entities in the Web of Data that match what the use is specifying and suggests linking to them. This capability allows separate communities to govern their own wikis, while having interlinked information about scientifically related entities.
Credit: The system automatically tracks the contributions of each user, and points to their pages. This gives users visibility, status, and reputation. Data producers are given credit via DOIs.
Query: Special wiki pages can be created whose content is dynamically generated through queries.
Data Citation: Each dataset described in the site is given a unique identifier that will enable citation.
Open Publication: All the metadata can be exported as RDF triples and made publicly available on the web.
The LinkedEarth Wiki leverages semantic wiki technology, with new extensions from the Organic Data Science project, to crowdsource the curation and standards development of paleoclimate data. Like traditional wikis, they enable the collaborative authoring of content. Secure access and time-stamped content also enable the tracking of changes and the accountability of users, as well as moderation capabilities by community members of recognized expertise. In contract to traditional wikis, semantic wikis allow contributors to assign meaning to their content, specifying relationships between the objects they describe. This enables artificial intelligence reasoners to parse, process, and translate these data into more useful forms. The Organic Data Science project extensions provide structured forms that make it very easy to specify semantic metadata and link datasets to investigators and publications. The LinkedEarth wiki automatically translates all the metadata that it collects into Linked Open Data, a universal format to share data across the web.

Mahashivaratri is celebrated in honor of Lord Shiva, one of the deities of Hindu Trinity. Shivaratri falls on the moonless night of the new moon in the Hindu month of Fagun.
According to a popular legend, Shivaratri marks the wedding day of Lord Shiva and Parvati. Some believe that it was on the auspicious night of Shivaratri that Lord Shiva performed the ‘Tandava’, the dance of the primal creation, preservation and destruction. Hence the day is considered to be extremely auspicious by Shiva devotees and celebrated as Mahashivaratri – the grand night of Shiva.
Hindus consider it extremely auspicious to worship Lord Shiva on a Shivaratri as it is believed that worship of Lord Shiva on this day absolves a devotee of past sins. The devotee is liberated from the cycle of birth and death and attains moksha or salvation. Shivaratri is considered especially auspicious for women. While married women pray for the well being of their husbands, unmarried women pray for a husband like Lord Shiva, who is regarded as the ideal husband.

Hundreds of Russian soldiers have deserted or refused to fight the war in Ukraine, The WSJ reported.
One soldier said he fled his base the morning of the invasion and went into hiding.
Russian ground forces have also experienced heavy losses in Ukraine.
A Russian soldier who went into hiding to avoid the war in Ukraine said most soldiers, like him, didn't want to go.
"None of us wanted this war," Albert Sakhibgareev told The Wall Street Journal.
The 24-year-old was stationed at a military base in Russia near the border with Ukraine in February. On the morning of February 24, the day Russia launched its full-scale invasion, shelling landed within two miles from his location and military aircraft in the sky appeared to be heading to Ukraine, The Journal reported. When Sakhibgareev saw a headline on Telegram that said "Russia Invades Ukraine" he panicked and left the base.
He's one of hundreds of Russian soldiers who have deserted or refused to fight since the war in Ukraine began, according to the report published by The Journal on Wednesday. At least 115 Russian national guardsmen said they were fired after refusing to fight, according to The Guardian.
The unwillingness to fight has been compounded by the heavy losses Russian troops have experienced in Ukraine. The UK's defense ministry said last month Russia had likely lost one-third of its ground combat forces in Ukraine since the invasion began.
After months of setbacks, including getting pushed out of Kyiv and Kharkiv, Russian forces have made recent gains in the Donbas region after shifting their focus to eastern Ukraine. Analysts told Insider's Bill Bostock the advances for Russia marked a reversal from earlier stages of the war, but that the momentum may not last long.
Sakhibgareev was eventually contacted by Russian military officials, who convinced him to come back but allowed him to instead go to a base that was further from battle, The Journal reported. Sakhibgareev's lawyer, Almaz Nabiev, told the outlet the military could still decide to press charges against him for desertion.
Reports of low morale among Russian soldiers have also emerged throughout the war. One Russian soldier said his commander shot himself in the leg just so he could go home, according to intercepted audio released by Ukrainian officials. | <urn:uuid:3dc701a7-0ff5-4c79-bdee-e49520362fef> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.dailymagazine.news/a-russian-soldier-who-didn-t-want-to-fight-in-ukraine-and-went-into-hiding-after-fleeing-his-post-says-none-of-us-wanted-this-war-nid-1905735.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.982225 | 471 | 1.554688 | 2 |
Neuk is Scots for a corner or recess and is consequently often found as a place name. There are two such places in the Falkirk district – one in a meander of the Pow of Airth and the other in a crook of the River Avon and now known as Muiravonside Park. The spelling is often phonetic and can change with time. The most common variants are Neuck, Nuicke and Newck. Compounded examples are also found and Headswood Neuk, Mossneuk, Parkneuk, Polmont Neuk (Avonside), Lady’s Neuck and Manor Neuck are all found in Stirlingshire (Reid 2009. 155). The Neuck in the parish of Airth which is the subject of the present article was owned by the Higgins family for many generations and so part of it became known as Higgins Neuck. Their gravestones can be seen in the old parish churchyard nearby. The family had initially been connected with Halls of Airth but in 1681 Patrick Higgins received a charter from Richard Elphinstone of Airth of “all and haill that room and mealling of land commonly known as Newk” (Reid pers com). The name Halls of Airth is derived from Haughs of Airth – haugh being a river meadow.
Roy shows a substantial building at the southern end of two enclosures at “Neuk” in the mid 18th century. A stone lintel incorporated into the stable courtyard bore the incised initials PH and IC with the date 1620 (RCAHMS 1963, 342) and presumably came from the early mansion; PH would have been for Patrick Higgins. No record has been found to indicate what this early mansion looked like. It was rebuilt in 1812 by John Alexander Higgins as indicated by an inscribed stone on the apex of the pediment on the main façade which read: “JAH/ STATUIT/ 1812.” JA Higgins was a Writer to the Signet and also had a residence in Edinburgh.
Illus 2: Neuck House looking south-east, c1958 (RCAHMS).
The building was a simple substantial rectangular block comprising a basement, two principal storeys and an attic. The masonry was of droved ashlar, the grey sandstone probably coming from a quarry at Dunmore. A plain band ran round the house at first-floor level and the walls finished in a moulded eaves-cornice above which there was a plain blocking-course. The roof was hipped and slated and the large chimney stacks were of dressed stone. The principal facade faced north-west towards the entrance drive from Airth. The focus of the façade was the central main entrance with its semi-circular fanlight framed by a Tuscan portico approached by a semi-elliptical perron with dual ascent incorporating an ornamental cast iron balustrade.
The central portion of the facade projected, and was surmounted by a triangular moulded pediment in the centre of which was a small circular window. On either side of the entrance was a single large architraved window with a plain frieze and moulded cornice. The three smaller architraved windows on the floor above were placed symmetrically.
The rear or south-east façade also had an advanced central pedimented bay containing a large circular-headed window with a sunk surround to light the stair. The side walls were much plainer, with three windows on each of the principal floors, the southern ones on the first floor being blind.
Illus 3: Plan of the principal floor of Neuck House (after RCAHMS).
The front door led into a vestibule or lobby with a curved niche and in turn led into an elliptical hall or saloon. The saloon rose to the second floor where there was a gallery giving access to the bedrooms and was lit by an ornate skylight. The gallery was reached by a geometric staircase on the opposite side of the hall from the vestibule. From the hall all of the ground floor apartments opened up. These comprised a drawing room and morning room on the left and a dining room and library on the right – all of which possessed marble fireplaces.
The offices were arranged around an open square and were located to the west. They included the usual range of stables, a coachhouse and a doocot. A little further on was Neuck Farm with a lodge beside it to control access to the house. Throughout the 19th century the proprietors of Neuck let the farm out to tenants on nineteen year leases. It had around 80 acres of land associated with it, leaving between three and thirty acres for the policies at different times. This included a large walled garden and orchard to the north-east and an area of tree planting near to the house.
A broad avenue ran through the trees to the turn of one of the meanders of the Pow to the east and lined up with the ferry on the Forth. The woodland and shelter belts provided habitats for the game on the estate and the shooting rights were considered to be important. The mill leat for the 16th/17th century mill of Patrick Higgins (Reid 2004, 64) still ran through the estate and its water was used to support a bleaching green and washing house. The lade began a little to the east of the A905 and followed the contour to the lodge building which guarded a bridge over it. The early mill building had probably stood just behind the lodge where vestiges of water courses can be seen on the later maps. The land around Neuck is quite flat and the water did not have much of a fall, consequently this mill was abandoned in the early 17th century in favour of a tidal mill at Higgins Neuck – New Mills.
Grassom in 1817 has his conventional symbol for a country seat at “Neucks.” Given the many meanders the plural form seems more appropriate and is also found at a small settlement between Slamannan and Avonbridge adjacent to the River Avon. However, it does not recur at Airth. As well as farming and milling the Higgins family had interests in shipping.
JA Higgins died at Neuck on 26 September 1822 and being childless the estate went to his nephew John Burns junior. The new owner was the son of Marion Higgins who had married John Burn of Coldoch. John Burn junior had married Ann Maule Murdoch in 1820 and adopted her family name and estate of Gartincaber in Perthshire where he spent much of his time and became a magistrate and deputy-lieutenant for the county. In 1830 he inherited yet more property, this time in Easter Greenyards, from his cousin James McGibbon. His aunt continued to live at Neuck – Margaret was the widow of William Bell, a merchant in Leith. She died at Neuck House on 23 July and the house was subsequently advertised for let:
“TO BE LET, FURNISHED, For such number of years as may be agreed upon, Entry immediately, NEWCK HOUSE, parish of Airth, Stirlingshire, with Garden, Orchards, and Office houses. The House is modern, and contains four public rooms and eight bed-rooms, with ample accommodation for servants. The whole completely furnished. Newck is distant 27 miles from Edinburgh, and the Stirling and Alloa steam-boats call regularly at Kincardine Ferry, within about half a mile of the house. Upwards of 20 acres of ground, as also, the right of shooting over the lands of Newck, and over the property of Easter Greenyards, can be let along with the house if required.
The Gardener will show the house and grounds; and application may be made to John Burn Murdoch, Esq Coldoch, Doune; or to Dallas and Innes, WS, Frederick Street, Edinburgh…” .(Edinburgh Evening Courant 4 August 1832)
Thomas Charles Burns was in residence at Neuck House in 1838, but the following year it was once more available to rent, now with water closets:
“TO LET, FURNISHED, NEWCK HOUSE, Parish of Airth, Stirlingshire, containing four Public-rooms, eight Bed-rooms, Water-closets on the different flats, and ample accommodation for servants, with Coach-house, Stabling for twelve horses, and other usual Office-houses.
Newck is distant 27 miles from Edinburgh, 9 from Stirling, and 5 from Falkirk. The Stirling and Alloa and Newhaven Steam-Boats call regularly at Kincardine Ferry within half a mile of the house, and coaches ply daily from that Ferry to Falkirk, to join the Edinburgh and Glasgow Coaches.
The House will be let either with or without the Garden and Orchard. The Right of Shooting over the Property of Easter Greenyards, extending to upwards of 750 imperial acres, as well as over the Lands of Newk, can be had, if required.
Robert Stoddart, at Newck, will show the house; and application may be made to John Burn Murdoch Esq, Edinburgh, of to Alex Fleming WS.”(Scotsman 4 May 1839, 2)
The new tenant was George Dunlop. When he left the premises were advertised with additional features such as the pigeon-house and fox hunt:
“COUNTRY HOUSE TO LET FURNISHED, with Entry at Martinmas. NEWCK HOUSE, Parish of Airth, Stirlingshire, with garden, Orchard, and Pigeon-House, and also Pasture Fields, if wished. The House is comfortably Furnished, and contains 4 Public Rooms and 8 Bed Rooms, the Offices, Stabling for 11 Horses, with other usual Out-Door Accommodation. Newck is about 4 Miles from the Larbert Station on the Scottish Central Railway, which is within an Hour’s distance of Edinburgh or Glasgow, and the Granton and Stirling and Alloa Steamers land and take in Passengers at Kincardine Ferry, within Half a Mile of the House. The Linlithgow and Stirlingshire Fox-hounds hunt the district, and a Pack of Harriers are kept in the immediate neighbourhood.
The Gardener will show the Premises; and further particulars will be given by Mr Burn Murdoch, the Proprietor, Gartincaber, Doune; or by Messrs Dundas and Wilson CS, 16 St Andrew Square, Edinburgh.”(Glasgow Herald 25 October 1852).
The 1860 advert lists the four public rooms as the dining-room, large and smaller drawing-rooms and library. One consistent feature of these mid-19th century adverts is the emphasis on travel to Glasgow and particularly to Edinburgh. The latter was favoured with water transport on the Forth Estuary and the passenger picking up place at Kincardine was close to Higgins Neuck – though across the water. In 1859 the tenant was another entrepreneur, the tanner Robert Galloway. He died there in April 1860. The house was becoming more difficult to rent out and it stood empty for months at a time. John Burn Murdoch died at Gartincaber on the 24 August 1862 aged 68.
By 1867 the trees on the estate had matured and some 114 trees, principally oaks, elms and planes, were sold as growing timber. Throughout the different tenancies the gardener at Neuck had brought the grounds to a beautiful state of display and this was appreciated by the Airth Free Church Sabbath Schools who started to have their annual trips there. In 1871 some 65 children were treated to fruit from the garden, as well as buns and cake and milk, by the tenant. The rain meant that this was partaken within the house. In 1876 the fare included sandwiches, cookies, cake, bread of various kinds, biscuits, shortbread, tea, milk, cream, jelly, gooseberries, strawberries and so on. 140 people played games in the grounds such as cricket, bowls, lawn tennis, croquet, swings and racing.

In 1910 Colonel John Francis Burn succeeded his uncle, General Sir James Clark-Rattray, in the estate of Craighall, Rattray, Perthshire, and adopted his surname. At the same time he handed Neuck over to his younger brother, James Victor Burn Murdoch. In 1909 James, with William Speirs Bruce, had established the Scottish Spitsbergen Syndicate for the mining of coal in that region and many Bo’ness miners were involved. JV Burn Murdoch frequently travelled abroad and died in Berne in Switzerland on 30 August 1924 aged 60.

Poor transition management results in early culling of dairy cows
Functional longevity of dairy cows is related to the ability of the cow to avoid culling due to reasons other than poor milk production15,16,17. Early culling is often related to metabolic diseases7,27,28. The negative economical impact of early culling can be as high as 800 to 1000 € per case32,33. Good transition cow management is key to avoid involuntary culling early in lactation.
Aim should be to reach at least 5 lactations per cow. To achieve this, the involuntary culling rate in heifers should be below 15%19,21 whereas the involuntary culling rate of the herd should be below 5%21.
Studies carried out by the ILVO in Belgium18 showed that if the culling rate of dairy cows is being reduced by 5% and average milk production per day goes up by 3 kg, methane emission per kg of milk produced goes down by 11.7%.
The HealthyLife programme can avoid metabolic stress and reduce metabolic diseases in dairy cows, resulting in an optimal number of lactations per cow | <urn:uuid:550d619c-da79-4d3a-bafd-989e50604034> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://healthylife.selko.com/lifetime-daily-yield/increase-number-of-lactations-for-cows-by-reducing-involuntary-culling-rate | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.934593 | 229 | 2.71875 | 3 |
State Sen. Kay Kirkpatrick brought her experience volunteering with her pet dog Dobie to the table to make recommendations on how to curb the use of “fake service animals.”
“That’s why I am on the committee,” said the senator, who represents part of Sandy Springs. “I am an animal person.”
The Senate study committee was addressing concerns about people passing off their regular pets as trained service or emotional support animals to gain access to public spaces that typically ban them, particularly restaurants and airlines, Kirkpatrick said. The issue often happens with pet dogs, sometimes causing safety issues or disruption, she said. People can buy certifications and vests for their pet online with little regulation, Kirkpatrick said, which are sometimes used to circumvent apartment pet bans or fees.
“Everyone from airlines to grocery stores to apartment owners have concerns,” Kirkpatrick said.
The confusion and debate revolves around at least three categories of animals:
- Service animals: trained to perform specific tasks to assist someone with a disability.
- Emotional support animals: provide general comfort to people with psychological conditions.
- Therapy animals: provide comfort to people other than the handler in places like hospitals and assisted living facilities.
The committee was created to research possibly creating a uniform certification process or criminalizing the use of a fake service animal, according to the group’s final report, which was issued in January. The report called for more awareness about the difference between “service animals” and “emotional support animals.”
“The thing that was startling to me is the lack of understanding of different animals and regulations,” she said. “We’re trying to figure out how to clear that up.”
Recommendations include drafting legislation that calls for public service announcements and guidance for restaurants, grocery stores and apartments on the difference between the types of animals “as well as the fraudulent misrepresentation of such terms and meanings,” the report said.
A service animal is trained to perform specific tasks to help someone with a disability, such as a guide for someone who is blind, according to the Americans with Disabilities Act website. Dogs are the only animal whose use is fully protected under the ADA, although miniature horses are allowed under different regulations. The ADA allows dogs to accompany their handlers anywhere they go, unless the dog is out of control or breaks safety rules, such as going in a public pool.
Emotional support animals provide comfort, typically to people with such psychological conditions as anxiety or depression. The animals cannot accompany their handler to every public space, but their use is protected under the Fair Housing Act and Air Carrier Access Act, according to the committee documents. Airlines and landlords can ask for documents from a mental health professional that verify the need for the animal, a committee document said.
Kirkpatrick volunteered with her pet dog as a therapy animal, which only has basic obedience training and can visit facilities that provide permission to visit to comfort people, such as patients in a hospital or residents of an assisted-living facility, she said. Therapy dogs were discussed in some of the committee’s sessions, but are not usually used to pass off as a fake service dog and are not mentioned in the final report.
Ideas included requiring in-state physician certification and monetary fines, but the committee backed away from this, saying more research is needed to ensure the state laws would not violate the ADA.
Similar laws in other states have become a “strong point of contention between lawyers and advocates, especially in the housing industry,” the report said.
Dawn Alford, the public policy director at the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities, warned in a committee meeting there could be “unintended consequences that could result from any attempts to criminalize the misrepresentation of ‘fake’ service animals” that could harm people with disabilities, according to the report.
The committee heard testimony from groups like Delta and the Georgia Restaurant Association who did not recommend state level legislative changes but encouraged more education and awareness, the report said.
The committee was not looking into more regulations on pet ownership or allowing pets into public spaces, such as pet-friendly parks or restaurants.
Kirkpatrick’s dog is in a separate category from a service or emotional support dog. Her dog, a golden doodle, served as a “therapy dog,” which has been screened for temperament, has passed basic obedience training and provides comfort to people other than its handler. Dobie typically visited the Ronald McDonald House that serves Sandy Springs’ Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite. The visits were coordinated and overseen by an Atlanta group called Happy Tails, which also uses pet cats and rabbits and therapy animals, according to its website.
“It was great for him and great for families who were far away from home for months with their kids who are sick,” she said.
She volunteered for five years and became a group leader for volunteers at the Ronald McDonald House, which is run by a nonprofit and provides housing for families during their child’s hospital stay.
Dobie has gotten too old to continue the visits, but Kirkpatrick said she hopes to get another dog and continue volunteering.
“It’s very rewarding,” she said. “It’s a win-win-win.”
But therapy dogs are not permitted anywhere their owner can go, which service dogs can, Kirkpatrick said.
“A therapy dog is a pet that has basic obedience training,” she said. “No self-respecting therapy dog owner would try to pass their dog off as one that can go in a restaurant.”
She said more education is needed to ensure everyone is aware of those differences in what the law allows.
“There are possibly people gaming the system, but I think it’s more confusion,” she said.
The committee’s report also calls for doing more research on the need to clarify the difference between the types of animals in state law.
She expects other dog-related bills to come up this session, including one that allows people to attempt to save animals from hot cars, which was recommended by the committee, and a return of a bill to ban pet store sales of animals from breeders statewide.

Beautiful story from the ABC in Adelaide - with compliments to Qantas staff and the Make-A-Wish Foundation
Make-A-Wish grants moon flight for 4yo Dwayne Franke who lives with epilepsy
After almost a year of planning, a four-year-old South Australian boy has had his wish to travel to the "moon" fulfilled.
Dwayne Franke experiences daily seizures and his medication is unable to control his epilepsy.
It means in the past year alone, he has been in hospital more than a dozen times.
Last night — after some pretty extensive planning — the Make-A-Wish Foundation granted that wish.
Donning an orange space suit, his parents took him to Adelaide Airport, where he was greeted by Darth Vader and Stormtroopers and issued a special ticket.
Dwayne got to sit in the cockpit of a specially-prepared QantasLink plane before the big flight, then took his seat in the main cabin as it "blasted off".
In what seemed no time at all, the space adventurers arrived at the "moon" to a lunar landscape — created in an airport hangar from rocks, tonnes of sand and special visual effects.
And just as the four-year-old suspected, aliens and superheroes including Spiderman and Batman, really do live on the moon.
Dwayne even got to plant a special flag in the sandy surface of the moon before making his return flight to Earth.
Dwayne's mother Rebecca described it as an "incredible experience".
She said her son had been distracted from recent medical treatment by the excitement of telling hospital staff he was about to head to the moon.
"They were trying to put in a drip and, between seizures and through all the hurt, he was trying to tell the nurses about going to the moon," she said.
"It is something that is distracting him from what he's going through at the moment."
She said he was "absolutely elated after the experience".
"He looked at the moon early this morning and said 'I went there last night!' It has been the most wonderful experience and our family will be forever grateful to Make-A-Wish and Qantas for making our little boy's dream come true."
Qantas manager at Adelaide Airport Paul Newman praised his staff who volunteered their time.
"It's been heart-warming to see Qantas employees from all over volunteer their time to make Dwayne's wish come true," he said.
"It's really been all hands on deck to make this a reality."
Make-A-Wish chief executive Sally Bateman said granting such dreams helped sick children and their families in tough times.
"Our wishes are about taking critically-ill children like Dwayne on a journey that creates a long-lasting impact and gives strength and hope," she said.
Almost a year of planning went into the expedition, which started when he was given a moon lamp to keep next to his bed.
He also got regular letters from an astronaut and worked hard to design the flag he finally planted on the lunar surface. | <urn:uuid:46107008-9425-4236-af94-8bb7dab377d0> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.michaelsmithnews.com/2018/02/beautiful-story-from-the-abc-in-adelaide-with-compliments-to-qantas-staff-and-the-make-a-wish-founda.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.983085 | 650 | 1.554688 | 2 |
The 15.7 million Kwacha project of improving water and sanitation at Mwami, Mchinji and Chanida borders is at 70 percent complete.
Eastern Water and Sewerage Company Managing Director Lyton Kanowa says the project was expected to be completed in May but has delayed due to lack of water in 3 boreholes at Mwami border.
The cross boarder project funded by CRIDIF, a British company commenced in February.
Mr. Kanowa says his office asked for extra time from the funders and was given up to July 30th 2017.
He was speaking during the tour of the project by Luangeni Member of Parliament, Charles Zulu at Mwami border this morning.
Mr. Kanowa explained that the project include, drilling of five boreholes, constructing a water supply network, ablution blocks and water kiosks.
Mr. Kanowa says once completed, the project will benefit travelers and about 3,000 people living along the borders whose houses will be connected to water supply. | <urn:uuid:fbc7f199-aae7-49fd-9ef9-ce5ce6ab8e27> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://breezefmchipata.com/border-water-and-sanitation-project-delays/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570765.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808031623-20220808061623-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.968887 | 211 | 1.757813 | 2 |

You hear the word “self-love” being tossed around the internet. So much so that it has become a trigger word for so many people. But having compassion and kindness for yourself is crucial to living a kind, peaceful, and fruitful life. So in today’s episode, I’m diving deep into how you can foster self-compassion so that you can have better relationships with others and have a healthy relationship with yourself.
First, I dive into an explanation of what self-compassion is and what that can look like. I also share what experts in psychology have said about the importance of self-compassion and how it affects our lives. Then, we’ll discuss Dr. Kristin Neff’s 3 main components of self-compassion, what they mean, and examples of how they show up in my own life. We’ll take a look at what it means to be mindful, and how to simply observe your thoughts while letting them pass, so as to not assign meaning and weight to them. Lastly, I talk about journaling and share my framework for falling into this healthy habit.
This is an important episode that will reshape the way you approach self-compassion. So tune in, take notes, and give yourself permission to be kind to yourself.

St. Anthony of Padua was a powerful Franciscan preacher and teacher. He is the patron saint of lost and stolen articles, typically portrayed holding the child Jesus—or a lily—or a book—or all three—in his arms. Many people give alms of bread in thanksgiving to God for blessings received through the prayers of St. Anthony. The Church celebrates his feast on June 13.
Listed below are some activities we can do with our kids to explain and show them the significance of this feast.
Story Time: St. Anthony of Padua
Take out time to explain what the feast of St. Anthony of Padua is about. Read the story of St. Anthony from the saints book, or from this link https://catholicsaints.info/stories-of-the-saints-for…/ or a video like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITw42f17CPU
We can do activities like a scavenger hunt, treasure hunt, hot or cold by hiding a toy. Basically something which involves ‘finding’ to remind us that St. Antony of Padua is the patron saint of lost things. Kids love the anticipation. You could also try painting small flower pots and planting a lily or basil plant is also fun. We tried an Outdoor Scavenger hunt around our locality. A printable of the scavenger hunt can be found in the St. Anthony worksheets
St. Anthony Craft ideas
St. Anthony of Padua was very close to nature and animals, he would even preach to the fish. You can draw some fish and colour or cut them out on coloured paper. Draw St. Anthony near the sea shore and the sea in blue. They can then paste the fish. Another option could be making some origami fish and if you need something more simpler try some magic with permanent markers and water.
The symbolic colour for St. Anthony of Padua is brown. Get chocolate glazed donut, or just bake any cake/buns and let the kids pour chocolate glaze on it. Or make fish cupcakes! Decorate the topping with different colours to look like fish-eyes and mouth. We just got some chocolate glazed donuts and buns.
Do connect with us to share more meaningful ideas to celebrate the feast of St. Anthony of Padua. In order to get our children more acquainted with liturgical living do visit the feasts celebrated in the month of June like
- Sacred Heart of Jesus Feast
- St. Medard

CHARLIE NEWTON: THE BLACK BIBLE
Stove Works / 1250 E 13th St. January 14 - March 12th
We don't need to re-write the Bible. We need to reconstruct our concepts percepts and precepts of the Bible as written. History, as well as Bible precepts and percepts, are for the most of majorly European influences.
The distillation of the historicism of the Bible has been dramatically and is being dramatically changed and reformed due to the diaspora peoples (in America) awakening to the false narratives put forth by white supremacy.
I am interested in the interface of young black American youth influencing the entire world even Africa. The diaspora sent culture through the furnace of American and European white supremacy and racism. But something unique happened. The slave trade proved to be not only a fiery furnace but a melting pot or refiners fire that God meant to elevate civilization to where it’s headed now (in the positive sense; the negative forces and ideologies espoused by demonic powers of nationalism and supremacy are still at work in the west).
Not only are black Americans and black American culture and aesthetics influencing world culture but African culture as well. What does this mean? It means that Africa is enlarging itself. So we must eject European imagery concepts, processes, and precepts of Jesus and the Jewish people in support of an African version of biblical historicism.
Jesus spoke Aramaic and the terms Near East and Middle East were created by Europeans in the conquest of African nations.
In light of the first man being born in Africa or on the African continent, it changes my practice in the light of world history. I must allow my mind to be open to receive Spiritual information and information that will connect me back to my creator and I must open my eyes and see what's already there.
The first man was made from the dust of the ground. What color is dirt? Jesus is a direct descendant in his humanity from Adam and his divinity from God. So indeed I was made in the image of God and I will celebrate that and I will pronounce that and proclaim that and preach that and prophesy that and more importantly, I will paint that.

‘to be visible’, which focuses on whether something can be seen or not, 見（み）られる
form of 見（み）る) focuses on the viewer's physical ability to see something. Due to this が見（み）られる
is used to highlight things that require some form of ‘effort’ to see, like ‘changes’, ‘trends’, etc.
As a result of the ‘effort’ that is required, が見（み）られる
is often translated as ‘for (A) to be evident’, ‘it can be observed that (A)’, ‘it can be seen that (A)’, and other similar structures. To use 見（み）られる
, simply add it after the noun that you would like to show as being ‘evident’.
Mount Fuji can be seen from this room. (If you look closely, and it is a clear day)
If you go to Nara, you can observe deer crossing the crosswalk. (If you are lucky, and the timing is right)

As COVID-19 has highlighted the fundamental importance of connectivity, International Data Corporation (IDC) analysts have attempted to outline what the ‘future of connectedness’ looks like.
They define it as: “The timely movement of data across people, things, applications and processes to create seamless digital experiences.”
IDC’s new Future of Connectedness Continuum framework (see image above) is comprised of three separate but interdependent layers that must interact seamlessly and continuously:
- The Cycle of Data – these are the actions taken when data is in motion but requires agile, autonomous, pervasive, secure and resilient connectivity.
- Data Consumers – these are the consumers of the data in motion.
- Connectivity-Driven Outcomes – these are the outcomes achieved when data is moved seamlessly and provide value to organisations and individuals alike.
The Future of Connectedness means that organisations need to look to connectivity as a strategic element to maintaining, sustaining and growing business operations, IDC said, noting that this will require additional investment, more strategic planning, and greater oversight.
“Connectivity is the common denominator in how we interact with the world around us today. As digital interactions increase, it becomes clear that connectivity is not yet seamless, nor pervasive,” said Carrie MacGillivray, group vice president and general manager, Worldwide Telecom, Mobility and IoT research. “The evolution of access technologies is going to accelerate the digital connection and in turn, unveil the Future of Connectedness – between people, things, processes, and applications. These connections are the sinews of how we live, work and play.”.
Connectivity is now recognised by CEOs as one of the top three strategic elements in their digital transformation strategy, according to IDC. | <urn:uuid:c80e5ac1-1053-4caf-a706-ae5639805586> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.mobileeurope.co.uk/idc-envisions-the-future-of-connectedness/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.92778 | 374 | 1.992188 | 2 |
Started by a 15-year Navy veteran, Workshops for Warriors provides 16 months of free training for post 9/11 vets interested in advanced manufacturing. Even better: the group has a 100% job placement rate.
Last week, 46 U.S. veterans graduated from a trade school program in San Diego with not just a diploma in hand, but jobs awaiting them in advanced manufacturing.
The newly minted CNC machinists, CAD/CAM programmers and welders made up the largest graduating class yet at Workshops for Warriors, a nonprofit that provides a free 16-month training program in welding and fabrication for veterans transitioning into civilian life.
Graduates are placed at manufacturing companies large and small--many of them right in San Diego, a manufacturing hub where their skills are in high demand.
Since its founding, Workshops for Warriors has placed all of its graduates in jobs with starting salaries typically around $50,000. Even those who complete only part of the program often land skilled jobs that pay a living wage, says founder Hernàn Luis y Prado, a veteran himself.
Prado served 15 years in the Navy, with combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. Seeing more of his fellow service members “die of suicide and drugs in San Diego … than bombs and bullets in Baghdad” compelled him to start the organization in 2008.
“If we want to help veterans, we need to have a secure civilian path that they can be trained into,” Prado said in a statement on the organization's website.
Most students in the program are post 9/11 veterans, ranging in age from 22 to 35 and transitioning out of the armed forces sooner than they expected due to military drawdowns or major injuries. In San Diego alone, more than 40,000 veterans transition out of service each year.
Students can earn credentials from industry organizations including the National Institute for Metalworking Skills, Mastercam University (computer-aided manufacturing), SolidWorks (computer-aided design) and the American Welding Society.
Since 2011, 238 veterans have been trained on-site in the program, receiving close to 600 third-party nationally recognized credentials.
Workshop for Warriors’ next 16-month session begins January 4. Students choose either the welding or machining track, training on a long list of up-to-date equipment. Courses include computer-aided design, machinery repair and maintenance, CNC and manual machining and turning, and welding and fabrication. | <urn:uuid:466aeae7-222f-4b5d-8610-62cd25ffce79> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://veteransview.com/news/a-new-call-of-duty-for-returning-veterans | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.942623 | 512 | 2.015625 | 2 |

Day 2 of HIBF 2019- Socio-Economic and Cultural Relationship between Egypt and the Somali Region, Academic Writing, Archival Research and Mary Harper’s Book Launch- Everything You Have Told Me Is True: The Many Faces of Al-Shabaab.
Fatuma Abdishukri Ahmed- 22 Jul 2019
Day two of the book fair was packed with insightful sessions. The first session was a panel discussion on the socio-economic and cultural relationship between Egypt and the Somali region. Ahmed Ibrahim Awale, one of the discussants presented a brief history on the trade expeditions arranged by Queen Hatsheput and King Sahure to Punt. He also presented on the political history of the two countries; how Khedive Ismail annexed the lands of Zeila and Berbera. During this occupation, the king introduced the tax system to the locals. The tax collected was used to finance the construction of infrastructures and facilities for the local community. The occupation also introduced a sort of indirect governance though Akils (tribal chiefs). This mode of governance is still practiced in Somaliland.
Panel on the socio-economic and cultural connections between Egypt and the Somali region.
During the course of the day, Mary Harper renowned BBC Africa editor launched her book ‘Everything You Have Told Me Is True: The Many Faces of Al-Shabaab.’ Mary Harper revealed her motivation to write this book was to give a voice to the people who have suffered at the merciless hands of Al Shabaab. In her book she notes that one way of resisting Al-Shabaab is by presenting people with alternative ways of thinking and giving them space to express themselves freely. She cites the book fair as an example of a safe space for young people.

The panel discussion on academic writing was a powerful tool gifted to young academic scholars in the audience. The panellists provided the following tips when writing academic papers:
- Write in plain language – academic writing should be simple and straightforward.
- The first page should focus on what the academic paper is about and not the background information.
- Arguments presented should be clear to the reader. All arguments used should be backed by evidence.
- Always think about how to make your work appealing to a wider audience.
- Academic work should not be suspenseful. All arguments should be at the beginning and upfront.
- In order to eliminate the pressure of the daunting peer review system, young scholars should ease into academic writing by reviewing essays and books.

When discussing her book, ‘Writing Spatiality in West Africa: Colonial Legacies in the Anglophones/Francophone Novel,’ Madhu Krishnan talked about the challenges she faced when doing archival research. Some of the challenges she expressed include: getting funding to travel, difficulty in understanding some of the documents found in the archives and the process being time consuming since some archives lack catalogues. Despite these challenges Madhu Krishnan recognized the importance of looking at primary documents when conducting research.
After a long but informative day, participants visited Hido-Dhawr where they enjoyed Qaraami music.

Gum Tissue Treatment For Dental Caries
If you have hemorrhaging gum tissues and dental caries, you might require periodontal therapy. This write-up will discuss a couple of options for dealing with gum condition. A nonsmoker can additionally gain from treatment, as do people who do not smoke. Yet if you are a cigarette smoker, you may not get the very best therapy alternatives. The bright side is that 85 percent of individuals can be dealt with for gum tissue disease. So don't put off your visit until your periodontals get so bad that they need to be extracted.
Cavities are openings in the teeth that develop as a result of a buildup of plaque. The acid in plaque deteriorates the enamel as well as ultimately reaches the softer dentine underneath. If the degeneration does not obtain treated in time, the dental caries may expand as well as spread into the surrounding teeth, creating extra serious issues. If left neglected, it can also infect the bone, requiring root canal treatment. The good news is that a dentist can do gum therapy for tooth decay to save teeth and also periodontals.
The early stages of dental caries can be treated fairly quickly with a fluoride treatment. Fluoride can aid strengthen teeth against acids, and also it is very important to clean and also floss daily. If the tooth is badly damaged, the dental professional will remove the pulp, which has the blood and also nerves. If the tooth is harmed irreparable, it may require to be extracted and changed by a bridge, partial denture, or dental implant.
Whether the gum tissues are bleed-intense or simply a bit red, it is always best to see a dental professional when experiencing bleeding gum tissues. Your primary care service provider can carry out a physical examination as well as get any kind of necessary blood work to establish what is causing the blood loss periodontals. Treatment will depend on the condition. Bleeding gums can be a indication of a more major underlying issue. If you have bleeding gum tissues as well as your dental practitioner can not find a reason, you can attempt a natural technique such as brushing your teeth with an electric toothbrush or an antiseptic mouth wash.
Although this is an early warning sign of diabetic issues, decreased immune feature might likewise add to a person's raised threat for gum tissue illness. Likewise, vitamin deficiencies can boost the danger of gum bleeding. Vitamin C and also vitamin K consumption can help in reducing gum tissue blood loss. As pointed out over, a healthy diet plan can aid prevent the beginning of bleeding periodontals. The primary goal is to get your teeth to look their finest and really feel excellent. The bleeding periodontals caused by gingivitis might be the early indicator of diabetes mellitus.
While bad breath is awkward and also can be an early indication of various other health problems, it doesn't need to control your life. By comprehending exactly how bad breath occurs and also what the very best approaches of treatment are, you can locate alleviation. To get started, timetable a dental exam. Your dentist will certainly go over different options for stopping, spotting, and also dealing with foul-smelling breath. In addition to cleaning up the mouth and also teeth, dental professionals additionally supply a selection of items that can aid to get rid of the smell.
While consuming garlic as well as onions might create short-term foul-smelling breath, chronic halitosis can be humiliating and also even a measure of underlying health problems. If you deal with chronic foul breath, you should see a dental practitioner asap to get treatment for it. Germs staying in the mouth are the main causes of gum disease and also halitosis. If left without treatment, these microorganisms can cause gum tissue condition and also tooth decay. Along with making you really feel uneasy, these microorganisms can also cause severe health problems.
Yet there are a few other remedies around this like Dentitox Pro. | <urn:uuid:5ee64b85-9f1a-4e21-a3e7-b7b5222cf31e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.samborvillage.com/peterson-brothers-fresh-breath-of-farm-air-siteyoutube-com/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.948413 | 829 | 1.867188 | 2 |
Last week, the Secretary General of the Council of Europe Thorbjørn Jagland visited our Play Hub in Spišský Hrhov (Slovakia) and complimented the staff about the initiative. He hasn’t been the first one though. Since its opening, the Play Hub has been pointed at as an example of integration by national and local authorities
“Your project is the best example of how to include Roma children at an early age”, said Thorbjørn Jagland, Secretary General of the Council of Europe to the coordinator of the TOY for Inclusion Play Hub, Peter Strážik.
The local staff and the volunteers report that Mr Jagland was very pleased with the initiative and played a few minutes with the children.
The Play Hub is situated in the kindergarten and school of the village. Since the opening the initiative has been applauded by the Slovakian authorities too.
“The Play Hub in Spišský Hrhov means a world of opportunities to the kids of Roma communities. Fifteen years ago such scenario had been just a wish”, said Vladimíra Ledecká, of the Office of the President of the Slovak Republic.
“We should have had this long ago; it so simple, rare and unique! A real place to bring all kids together. I know that this Play Hub is a good example to other municipalities that struggle to fight prejudices against Roma”, echoed Dr. Vladimír Ledecký, Mayor of Spišský Hrhov.
The TOY for Inclusion Play Hub has been created mostly thanks to the cooperation between the local community, the municipality and some civil society organizations both national and international. With a relatively small budget provided by the European Union and with the big support given by the local school, the (grand)parents and the many volunteers.

Many pet owners do understand the concept of pet euthanasia. It is a blessing for both pets and their parents. It’s providing the little creatures a gentle escape from the world without any pain. Further, there are many old age signs that you shouldn’t miss out on. Your dog is old suffering from various ailments, and you should visit a vet.
It hurts to know that the time with your dog has come to an end. You will always make the best decision for them. Zen Dog Vet is at home dog euthanasia Westchester that cares for pets. Likewise, the team there assesses the problems of the pets and tries to treat the root cause. They use highly effective methods which are good for both worlds.
Signs that your dog needs to be put to sleep
• Total lack of appetite
If your dog has completely left eating for a few days, it means their last days are near. Loss of appetite is a cause of major illness. Causing this, the dog can’t seem to be comfortable with himself.
• Having severe pain in the body
Even though you are trying to give medicines but if the pain doesn’t seem to go away that your dog needs better attention. Sometimes it can be hard to judge the level of pain the dog is feeling. Besides, take him to a vet to find subtle indications of the disease. Shallow breathing, restlessness, and grumpiness are some signs that your dog is in pain.
• Facing an injury, they can’t recover for
Not all injuries are the same and some of them are very severe. If your vet is telling you that there is only little treatment, then it’s time to practice euthanasia on your pets. You can outright ask the vets what you need to do.
• There is less mobility
If there is very little mobility left in your dogs, it means they don’t have many days left. You can try running or exercising with your dogs to see how they react to it. The working limbs are another vital organ. Without mobility, the life of the dog will not be a quality one.
Your pets can die naturally but it is difficult to see them suffer. There is in home cat euthanasia as well. This way your pets will suffer less and there is no guilt in doing it.
What are some best options for your pet?
Whatever decision you take, you need to be unbiased towards anyone. Think about your dog first and don’t try to be selfish. When you wonder about the last days of your dog, think about how you can help them. Euthanasia can be performed at home or even at the vet’s clinic. But many people prefer homes the most.
Your dog will be showing signs that they are nearing their death. Take good care of your dog and spend last days with them cheerfully. The bond you develop with your pet cannot be taken away. | <urn:uuid:c5c3a960-07ea-400f-8447-aaeef1654793> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://dogeno.us/what-are-the-signs-to-put-your-dog-to-sleep.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.967293 | 610 | 2.03125 | 2 |
Creating for early-career scientists
How can you design your meeting to activate early-career researchers? Two researchers and two association meeting planners weigh in.
From leaping through hoops to protected the funding to wait a research occasion to navigating the next cash-flow problems , conferences and early-career experts don’t always have a straightforward relationship.
However this cohort of teenagers aren’t just the continuing future of analysis, they’re the continuing future of your occasion. The planet of conferences is now fiercely competitive as smaller sized, a lot more thematically concentrated meetings pop-up seemingly overnight and problem the legacy of the original annual getting together with .
If your meeting doesn’t attract or engage another era of attendees, they’ll without doubt find what they want elsewhere, from various other event.
“Not merely who’s going to, but who’s talking will be salient”
Rackeb Tesfaye is really a founder of the Wide Technology podcast and a neuroscience PhD pupil at McGill University, in Montreal. Her connection with conference-going is a mixed bag. “Some of the conferences that are section of educational associations possess trainee committees [that think about the needs of earlier career scientists]. But I have already been to conferences which have not at all taken these under consideration, and it displays when you make it happen.
“The conferences are usually less interactive and much more lectury. There’s hardly any opportunity to feel just like you’re actively brainstorming and attaining tips. For a number of students it could be quite daunting to move in and walk around professors that are standing with several their close friends.”
She furthermore takes concern with the systems occupied by exactly the same faces. “We notice whenever we head to conferences and you can find panels of most men. If you find only 1 person of color. Not only who’s going to but who’s speaking is quite salient to early-career experts.”
“It’s difficult to create your network”
Aleksandra Alorić can be an assistant professor within complex techniques at the Institute of Physics Belgrade . “When there is no believed from the organisers about how exactly young scientists can engage, it could be really alienating. A very important factor people have within their brain [when they’re likely to a conference] would be to build-up a network of upcoming companies.”
But she cites the awkwardness of attempting to build this system when you’re an early-career researcher without a lot social capital. “Once you come to the meeting without understanding anyone, for these couple of days you remain on the 1st degree of interactions. People know each some other, they gather between parallel classes and you feel just like an outsider. Which can be really hard.”
Sufficient reason for huge variants in postdoc salaries , basically offering cheaper charges to students does not account for the amount of money struggles skilled by early-career researchers over the spectrum. “Frequently the [conference] registration charge is usually cheaper for PhD learners. But it’s usually assumed that after you’ve completed a PhD you can pay for, which means that your registration fee is equivalent to someone who is a lot more senior. That is bad.”
Identifying young researchers’ requirements
Therefore, how can organisers start redesigning their congresses to become more accessible – and provide less expensive – to early-career researchers? An excellent jumping off point would be to solicit their insight, right from the start.
T he International Culture for Microbial Ecology (ISME) holds its symposium almost every other yr and manages to entice a 2000-solid delegate base, around 50% of whom that are postdoc or mid-PhD degree. While microbial ecology is really a booming field with a lot of teenagers, the association still functions hard to make sure its biennial conference is pertinent and welcoming to those starting their careers. This technique begins by making great usage of the junior part of ISME’s ambassadors program . “We ask our younger ambassadors to meet prior to the meeting starts and we inquire further ‘What are usually your struggles in technology? What do you want ISME to do much better?’” states Sarash de Wilde, ISME’s executive director. They are after that presented at ISME’s panel conference at the symposium. It’s ways to get input straight from young experts and tell them their struggles are noticed.
Aleksandra is really a normal attendee at the yearly conference of the Complicated Systems Community (CSS), which include an active band of early-career organisers. “Complicated systems is really a multidisciplinary field, therefore maybe due to that – as you have to cross this extra industry border – that within the city in the last year or two there exists a strong young-scientists’ initiative.” This band of PhDs and postdocs, known as the youthful researchers of the Complicated Systems Society, take obligation for organising elements of CSS’s annual meeting therefore they’re tailored to younger researchers’ needs. In addition they offer travel grants along with other support to youthful scientists. “Many of these routines we started doing had been coming specifically from our requirements: ‘Oh my god, how it had been for me arriving at the conference the 1st time!’”
Widening gain access to for early-career experts
ISME furthermore recognises that early-career scientists tend to be required to provide a presentation to be able to have the university or sector funding they have to attend. “Everybody at our meeting is able to existing something, which attracts plenty of teenagers,” says Sarash. “We’ve abstract submission software program and reviewers, and the very best submissions are chosen for oral presentations, however the relax [of the authors who publish] can existing a poster. I believe if they can existing something they have the financing ahead. And funding will be everything in study. ”
The planet congress of the Global Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) requires a different track giving extra assistance to authors with restricted or no connection with scientific congresses. Carola van der Hoeff, FIP’s chief operating officer & congress director, explains: “You can expect a mentoring program. Our leadership consider the abstracts [before they’re submitted] and we provide the authors in immediate connection with them. They obtain feedback on structure, vocabulary and articles before it would go to review. It’s extremely interesting to observe how lots of people use that services.”
Such as a large amount of conferences, FIP furthermore directly engages local college students as onsite volunteers who is able to attend sessions free of charge. Student volunteers obtain the knowledge, the global context an yearly meeting provides, and the chance to engage with the experts and the leaders within their field.
Nevertheless, even when early-career experts have their function accepted, some nevertheless can’t travel with out a grant. Within widening their meeting accessibility , both FIP and ISME make bursaries open to assist bring early-stage scientists from developing countries with their congresses.
But independent conferences that do not get access to these kind of funds can nevertheless do their little bit. Rackeb really wants to see even more organisers marketing external financing sources on the conference website. “Plenty of details around funding will be disjointed. It doesn’t have a large amount of time to set up a listing of grants that additional organisations you use offer. To possess it amalgamated in ways that’s obtainable and doesn’t take hrs to get.”
Work insecurity is also a large function of the early-career scenery, and Aleksandra shows that congress organisers re-pull the outlines within conference charge structures. She’d prefer to start to see the distinction between learners and postdocs erased towards one between attendees on short-term and permanent agreements. “Because when you have currently a tenure-monitor or professorship you have significantly more accessibility to financing for all types of venturing. While postdocs don’t possess this entry usually.”
Improving the worthiness of in-person activities
Once you’ve ensured that early-career experts have the methods to attend your meeting, how can you ensure that the knowledge is more valuable in their mind than anything they are able to achieve online ?
Who’s given a system to talk at a meeting sends clear indicators to early-stage scientists about who’s – and isn’t – valued within a community. Because of this, organisations just like the Political Research Association are starting to promote the usage of young experts as session chairs . That is a strategy embraced by FIP: at among their congresses, any program with a chair furthermore receives a trainee co-chair. “We hyperlink them jointly [before the meeting] and it’s an extremely nice,” states Carola. “It’s engagement for them and it’s furthermore a learning procedure. They need to prepare and consult with another chair and browse the contents [of the program] so that they are coming ready. They’re more prepared sometimes compared to the various other chairs!”
To enrich the conference-going knowledge for young scientists, the early-career team at CSS’s annual occasion organises a 3-day time “pre-conference” of sorts. That is partway between a college with lectures introducing a few of the more complicated subjects within the multidisciplinary meeting, and a meeting location where newcomers can forge connections making use of their peers. “When there is a more private occasion with just 40 or 50 of you, it is possible to share your quest in a far more informal environment and you also have more time and energy to get to understand one another and potentially start brand-new collaborations after,” states Aleksandra. This pre-conference event does mean that first-timers begin meeting time one with a bunch of acquainted faces.
Likewise, FIP organises satellite occasions within its main meeting which are targeted at answering the queries early-career attendees are fighting. For instance, its “Meet up with the Professor” sessions present early-career attendees one-on-one discussions with the first choice in a specific field, giving them usage of wisdom and assistance they could not find somewhere else.
ISME also have done work on ensuring the afternoon poster periods aren’t a deadzone. “We wish students to get just as much interest as possible because of their posters. But it’s constantly in the afternoon,” states Sarash. “So to help keep individuals there we assist some beers, other beverages and snacks, also it assists. They generate a relatively good attention making use of their posters because it’s a great event. ”
Consciously or not really, we curate who attends a meeting. Who buys a ticket, who submits, who includes a chair at the meetings that steer its path. “Who is trying to get your meeting grants? “Who hasn’t already been interacting with your meeting? That information can speak volumes alone,” says Rackeb.
Because the meetings business faces increasing exterior pressures like financial uncertainty, travel limitations and the increase of hybrid activities , it doesn’t seem sensible to leave another era out in the cool.
Basically offering discounted student costs and hoping for the very best just won’t lower it.

Common Drugs in Paediatric Cardiology
A diuretic is a medicine which increases the amount of water that you pass out from your kidneys as urine. A diuretic causes an increase in urine, called a diuresis. So, they are sometimes called 'water tablets'.
In some heart conditions, there may be excess water retained in the body due to ineffective pumping of blood to the kidneys, or excess of water present in the lungs, which may increase the pressure in the lungs. Diuretics help to dry the lungs and remove the excess body water through the urine.
Your child may be given the dose of diuretic medicine as syrup or a tablet. If your child is admitted, they may be given the drug through an intravenous (I.V) route (injecting directly into the veins)
The dosing of diuretic will depend on your child’s weight, heart condition and body water state. Usually a dose of 1 milligram/kg of body weight is given. This may be given twice daily so as to allow adequate passage of urine and removal of excess body water through the day, while allowing the child to be active.
Diuretics must be used with care because removing too much fluid too quickly can lower the blood pressure, cause lightheadedness or fainting, and worsen kidney function. Also, use caution if the child is suffering from diarrhea.
Your child may have to empty their bladder more frequently after taking a diuretic.
Interactions: Not to be given along with Calcium tablets
Anticoagulants are medicines that prevent the blood from clotting as quickly or as effectively as normal. Some people call anticoagulants blood thinners. However, the blood is not actually made any thinner - it just does not clot so easily when you take an anticoagulant.
In some heart conditions such as arrhythmias, post-operative cases or after mechanical valve implantation (in a state where the body is in stress and inflammation), there is a high chance of blood flow slowing down and a clot to form in the blood vessels and heart chambers. This clot could increase in time and may eventually lead to complete blockage of the vessel, cutting off nutrition and oxygen supply to tissues.
Therefore, your child may be started on blood thinners which will help improve the blood flow while the body recovers. Sometimes your child may have to be kept on these blood thinners lifelong.
Blood thinners are available as tablets or may be administered through I.V if your child is admitted.The dosing will be variable based on a number of factors. Your doctor will regularly advise you to do a blood test called PT/INR to check the same, and then adjust the anticoagulant dose so as to keep it at an optimum level to minimize side effects. Usually, INR is kept between 2.0-3.0 but will vary based on the underlying condition.
Typical maintenance dose of the commonest oral anticoagulant, warfarin, ranges between 2 and 10 mg/day. Initial doses are often higher than maintenance doses. In selected cases it may be necessary to overlap with injectable heparin for the first few days.
Side effects include increased bleeding tendency- after falls or wounds, gum bleeds, bruising, nose bleeds. Care has to be taken to avoid injuries of any form while on these.
It is important to recognize that there may be considerable day-day variability in the action of oral anticoagulants. This is because of variations in diet and consumption of other medications. It is advisable to maintain a reasonably uniform intake of leafy vegetables (spinach, cabbage, fenugreek leaves, lettuce). However despite best efforts there is variability in the blood coagulation and therefore INR needs to be tested at 2-4 weekly intervals. In the initial phase of starting the oral anticoagulants, INR needs to be tested more frequently.
Aspirin works by stopping the production of certain natural substances that cause fever, pain, swelling, and blood clots. In heart conditions, doctors use this medication for its ability to reduce the tendency for blood to clot.
If a clot forms inside one of the arteries that supply the heart muscles with blood (called the coronary arteries), a heart attack can occur. Likewise, if a clot forms inside one of the blood vessels that supply the brain, a stroke can occur. Aspirin can prevent cardiovascular events because it reduces the chances of blood clot formation by inhibiting the clumping of platelets to the vessel wall that happens at the very beginning of clot formation. .
Aspirin is available as a tablet. Extended and slow-release tablet forms are also available. It should ideally be given with meals.
The commonest side effect is stomach irritation (gastritis) that results in pain over the upper part of the abdomen. It may also increase the tendency to bruise after minor injuries. Some children may have hypersensitivity to aspirin and some may not respond to it at all. In these situation an alternative medication (Clopidogrel) may be given)
Key Interactions: May enhance antiplatelet and anticoagulant effects of drugs. May also increase the hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) effect of drugs.
Iron is one of the main constituents of haemoglobin, the molecule which transports oxygen in our blood.
In children with heart diseases, growth may be affected because of inefficient blood pumping by the heart leading to poor absorption of nutrients and this could lead to a deficiency of haemoglobin called anemia. Supplementing iron allows the body to replenish the stores and improves the oxygen delivery to tissues. This decreases the stress of pumping on the heart.
Iron is available as syrups of varying strengths per ml, tablets and can rarely also be given as IV/IM preparations.
Excess of iron, or administration of iron in states of fever and infection could lead to its accumulation and deposition in the liver. Iron supplements can also stain the tongue and teeth and some preparations can irritate the stomach and intestines and result in vomiting and loose stools..
Key Interactions: Not to be given during active infections or at least 2 weeks post recovery from surgery. Do not give oral iron with milk, calcium or antacids.
5. Medications in pulmonary hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension is a condition in which there is abnormal rise of blood pressure in your child’s lungs and its blood vessels. This increases the work done by the right side of the heart and can lead to heart failure.
Multiple drugs may hence be needed to decrease the pressures and improve lung blood flow. Some of these are Sildenafil, Bosentan, Ambrisentan Macetentan, Calcium channel blockers and Riociguat. Additionally certain medications such as prostaglandins are widely used in the west but unavailable in India. Diuretics and blood thinners such as Warfarin may also be given along with the above.
Doses and choice of drug will vary depending on the severity of pulmonary pressures, and the side effect profile of each drug. These drugs may need to be given for a long time, till the pressures reduce and normalize.
These medications have to be given under the careful supervision of a pediatric cardiologist and need to be taken very regularly. Blood tests to monitor liver function every month are needed for those who are on Bosentan.
6. Heart Failure Medications
In heart failure, your doctor’s goal would be to improve the pumping efficacy of the heart, clear the lungs and push the blood towards the organs for their oxygen and nutrition requirements.
Your doctor may use medications such as ACE inhibitors (Enalapril) and ARB (Losartan) to dilate the vessels and decrease the blood pressure against which the heart works. These are available in a tablet form and the dose is adjusted as per the weight of the child.
Your doctor will also prescribe diuretics to help dry out the extra fluid filling up back into your child’s lungs due to pump failure.
In a state of failure, your body is stressed and releases stress hormones such as adrenaline and noradrenaline which increase the heart rate, at the cost of pumping efficiency. Your doctor may then try to slow the effect of these through added beta blockers such as carvedilol.
Medications that increase the force of contractility of the heart such as digoxin may be added, so also vessel dilators such as hydralazine and nitrates in some cases.
If the child is very sick and unstable, he/she will be admitted and given medications through the Intravenous route and may need intensive care.
7. Beta blockers
The purpose of beta blockers is to slow down the heart rate when it is unduly fast. The names of drugs in this category are propranolol (Inderal or Ciplar), metoprolol, Atenolol and Bisoprolol.
Beta blockers are advised in the following circumstances:
Rhythm disorders with fast heart rates
Tetralogy of Fallot with episodes of increasing blueness (Tet spells)
Selected cases of heart failure
Certain disease like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with excessive muscle contractility
Selected children with high blood pressure
Side effects include low blood pressure, undue slowing of heart rate, triggering of asthma. They may mask the effect of low blood sugar, by preventing tremors and increase in heart rate. | <urn:uuid:8535e9b3-75f3-4f05-b113-e8b589c7242e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.parentportal.saloniheartfoundation.org/drugs-paediatric-cardiology | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.925481 | 2,012 | 3.9375 | 4 |
Huntingdon is a bustling historic market town near Cambridge, with excellent road and rail links to London. The town straddles the ancient Roman Road of Ermine Street (part of the Great North Road), where it crosses the River Great Ouse. The name Huntingdon derives from the old English term 'huntedun', which means 'Hunte's hill'.
Huntingdon Town Square © Travel About Britain
The town started life as a settlement along Ermine Street, expanding in the 19th-c. after the railway arrived. There are many old buildings of interest dotted around the town centre, several of which are closely associated with Oliver Cromwell (1599 - 1658), who was born and brought up in Huntingdon.
The town's ancient market square is surrounded by several buildings of note, including a fine Town Hall (built in 1745), the Medieval All Saints Church and the Cromwell Museum (shown above). Also facing the market square is the old Falcon Inn, once used as Cromwell's main headquarters during the Civil War. In the centre of the square sits the town's war memorial, sculpted by K. Scott (widow of Scott-of-the-Antarctic). Just behind the Town Hall, in a narrow passageway (once commonplace in the town), is a traditional old pub called the Market Inn, complete with its original timber-framed upper storey.
The town has a good variety of shops and outlets. A regular weekly market is held on Wednesday and Saturday (8am to 4pm).
Huntingdon has a small park near the town with a small maze and traditional bandstand. There is also the very pleasant Riverside Park, from which a pathway runs alongside the river through a lovely tree lined nature reserve to the parish church at Hartford Village.
To the south of Huntingdon, across the old town bridge, lies Godmanchester, a much older Roman settlement (originally called "Durovigutum"), built to guard the river crossing and the important crossroads of the 'London to York' and 'Chester to Colchester' roads.
Anyone wishing to see all the important sites in the town should pick up a copy of the 'Huntingdon Town Trail' leaflet available from the Library or the Cromwell Museum.

The 14th-c stone bridge over the Great Ouse is an odd mix of styles. The bridge was a joint construction between Godmanchester and Huntingdon, who each had different ideas on how it should be completed.
The George Hotel an old coaching inn that once served travelers and stage coaches on the Great North Road (Ermine Street) during the 17th & 18th centuries. Once owned by Oliver Cromwell's Grandfather, it is laid out in a classical Tudor pattern, with galleries overlooking a central courtyard, where plays were once performed; a precursor to Shakespearian style theater layout. The hotel is reputedly said to have been frequented by the infamous highwayman Dick Turpin.
The 15th-C. All Saints Church, located to the north of the market square, is one of only two surviving medieval churches in the town. Much altered over the years it has some very interesting stain glass windows (several by Kempe) and a fine Victorian organ with decorated pipes. The church contains the Cromwell family burial vault, in which Oliver's father and grandfather are interned. Just inside the doorway (on the left) is the original font in which Oliver Cromwell was baptized as a child (originally from St John,s Church, which was demolished after irreparable damage during the Civil War).
The coffin of Mary Queen of Scots rested in the Church Chancel, on its way to London from Peterborough for reburial at Westminster Abbey. A site that would have almost certainly been witnessed by Oliver Cromwell who was 13 at the time and attending the school opposite.
Standing directly opposite All Saints Church by the market square is the old grammar school once attended by Cromwell, and also by Samuel Pepys, the Restoration diarist. Today it houses the Cromwell Museum, which contains one of the most complete public collections relating to Oliver Cromwell, including several important paintings.
The site where Huntingdon's castle once stood, on the banks of the Great Ouse. Originally of timber construction, it was built in 1068 by William I, over the site of the old Saxon town. Although the main palisade was destroyed following a siege in 1174, the site remained occupied as a seat of power until the 17th C. Today just the earthworks remain, forming a public park.
Originally a priory, the property passed to the Cromwell family in 1536. Rebuilt by Oliver Cromwell's Great Grandfather, the house later became the residence of the Earls of Sandwich. Open to the public in the mid-summer on Sundays for Tours and Teas.

Sri Lanka’s hopes for an upgrade in its credit profile will depend on how much it will comply with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) conditions, which the country agreed upon when entering the loan packages with the multilateral lender, credit rating agency Fitch Ratings said.
Fitch stated that the new programmes of the IMF in frontier markets such as Sri Lanka have helped such economies mitigate external liquidity risks and reduce medium-term default risks.
“Support from the IMF has helped to mitigate external liquidity risks and reduced the medium-term default risks in several frontier markets that entered into new programmes in 2016.
However, the potential improvements in sovereign credit profiles will depend on each country’s level of compliance with the IMF conditions and implementation risks are often high,” it said.
Fitch said that a lack of currency flexibility had been a factor in pushing Sri Lanka, Egypt and Suriname into the IMF agreements, since they had spent foreign exchange reserves at unsustainable levels trying to defend their currencies during a period where the dollar gained strength.
“However, they have allowed more flexibility since beginning discussions with the IMF, which has helped reduce pressure on their external balance sheets,” it added.
Fitch also noted that in the two years leading up to the IMF loans, it had taken negative rating action on five of the eight sovereigns, which availed themselves of the IMF funding, including Sri Lanka.
Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake had not reacted in a calm manner following the ratings cut, calling a press conference during the same day, during which, in a populist stance, criticized the ratings agencies and the IMF of trying to dictate terms to Sri Lanka.
He had also said that Sri Lanka does not need advice or funding from such institutions, comments he occasionally makes presently as well.
Sri Lankan politicians are also treating the US $ 1.5 billion IMF facility as a foreign policy victory instead of as a remedy for an economy in a grave situation.
“The IMF loans should alleviate external liquidity pressures and reduce the risk of sovereign default, particularly where the IMF assistance has been supported by other multilateral assistance or has improved access to global bond markets,” Fitch said. However, it also noted that large current account and fiscal deficits may hamper with improvements in credit ratings.
Sri Lanka’s current account deficit had been slashed by more than half to Rs.111.05 billion in the first 10 months of last year, while the fiscal deficit for 2016 was reported in official data as 5.6 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), a fall from a 7.4 percent of GDP deficit in 2015.
However, Fitch warned that populist pressure to reforms could endanger the reform process.
“Without sustained commitment from the authorities, long-standing weaknesses may remain unaddressed and there is a risk that governments will back away from reforms in the face of public opposition,” it said.
Local economists have noted that Sri Lanka had followed such a pattern in the past with the 2010 IMF facility by cleaning up processes in the run up to signing the agreement, with reversals in attitude and reforms after getting the loan. In the latest round of funding, the IMF has forced Sri Lanka to commit to reforms and key macroeconomic performance indicators in order to remain eligible for future tranches of the loan.
Fitch also warned that protests and government instability could become obstacles to reform processes in the IMF-supported countries.
In a rhetorical fashion, Sri Lankan politicians have been saying that Sri Lanka’s reform processes are the reason why the IMF is funding Sri Lanka.

Ferrara, City of the Renaissance, and its Po Delta
Ferrara, which grew up around a ford over the River Po, became an intellectual and artistic centre that attracted the greatest minds of the Italian Renaissance in the 15th and 16th centuries. Here, Piero della Francesca, Jacopo Bellini and Andrea Mantegna decorated the palaces of the House of Este. The humanist concept of the 'ideal city' came to life here in the neighbourhoods built from 1492 onwards by Biagio Rossetti according to the new principles of perspective. The completion of this project marked the birth of modern town planning and influenced its subsequent development.

At an early age in schools, young students start to develop number sense –this is the ordering, sequencing, patterns. They also begin looking at special words and symbols related to mathematics, which will help them to solve simple problems, ask questions and explain reasons and ideas, yet not matter your child’s individual learning differences all children go through the same learning difficulties, some of which we will look at now.
The ability to understand basic concepts of number sense at an early age is vital for grasping harder concepts in higher grades or writing essays in high school: Firstly, secondly. So, for example, ordering: first, second, third, fourth, fifth is a common concept which takes time to understand and use because they are not the same as cardinal numbers – one, two, three, four, five. This can also be difficult for young learners due to the change in spelling and pronunciation and they require a lot of help and guidance from parents or teachers.
Another problem students have in early grades is subitising. This is the ability to instantaneously recognise the number of objects in a small group without the need to count them. This poses a big problem for kids because they are not allowed to count on their fingers or point at the objects. However, learning this at a young age is essential for older grades as using mental strategies becomes part and parcel of solving mathematical problems.
3. Fine Motor Skills
There is also a big learning curve in the development of fine motor skills and young kids struggle with handwriting. Many take time to correctly write the symbols and numbers, and commonly write them back to front. This is a practice makes perfect type of activity and there are many free traceable worksheets that you can download online!
4. English within Maths
Reading and spelling numbers or basic mathematical words is another obstacle which needs to be learnt during these early educational years. AT the outset, children will struggle to connect “18” to “eighteen”. Likewise, reading instructions for mathematical problems is also a challenge as children need to learn that + is the same as “add”
Another problem for all learners is the concept of conservation, which is understanding that a quantity will remain the same despite the container, or arrangement changing. For example, as with the photo below, if you have two glasses of equal volume but one is short & narrow and the other is tall & narrow then place some water in one glass, pour it into the other and then ask the child “which one has more water inside” they will always point to the tall narrow glass. The ability to understand conservation does not develop until about 7 years of age.
Often some young primary children just need additional help, practice, time and better instruction. Therefore, tutoring and extra private study helps solve such problems and creates a solid foundation for more challenging concepts learnt in higher grades. | <urn:uuid:b4f1e8b0-2bf2-429b-a0af-854264a3bc3c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://inforumacademy.com.au/5-common-math-problems-for-early-learners/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572192.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815145459-20220815175459-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.958454 | 602 | 3.859375 | 4 |

Friends of the Earth
Britain! The bees need our help!
UP worked with DTV Group to produce this fundraising TV ad campaign for Friends of the Earth’s Bee Cause campaign.
Creating a buzz
Our bees are in crisis. They’ve lost much of their natural habitat in the past 60 years and are under assault from pesticides and intensive farming.
Friends of the Earth knew that if they were to help turn around the destruction of our environment they needed people to start reconnecting with nature. Not just intellectually, but emotionally. The Bee Cause had to stir the heart, as well as the mind. The ad features our very engaging bee and invites you to help save his habitat by texting for a free packet of wildflower seeds. Callers are then invited to either make a one-off or regular donation; the take-up has far exceeded expectations.
The multiple channel campaign has smashed its fundraising target, recruited record numbers of new donors for Friends of the Earth and engaged its current supporters too. And it’s still being used in 2019, unchanged, five years after first airing.
Joe Jenkins, Director of Fundraising, Communications and Activism at Friends of the Earth, explains why the overall campaign has been so successful: https://www.civilsociety.co.uk/voices/bloggers–best-of-2013–friends-of-the-earth-s-bee-cause.html
How’s it done?
During the ad, our bee was required to go through a number of emotions to match the scenes in the edit: happy, sad, curious etc. We created a flexible facial rig to create his expressions. We also gave him a nice coat of fur to help accentuate his cuddliness.

Currently, Washington, DC’s pro football team, the [Redacted], has the distinction of being the only team in the NFL whose name is a racial slur. A little more than 50 years ago, it had another unfortunate distinction: It was the last remaining all-white team in the league.
The struggle to integrate Washington’s football team is recounted in Thomas G. Smith’s 2012 book, Showdown: JFK and the Integration of the Washington Redskins. As Smith tells it, the showdown began in 1961, when John F. Kennedy’s interior secretary, Stewart Udall, who’d committed to ending segregation anywhere in his sphere of influence, declared his intent to break pro football’s last color bar. Udall later recalled, “I considered it outrageous that the Redskins were the last team in the NFL to have a lily-white policy.”
The call for integration was met with opposition, most notably from the team’s owner, George Preston Marshall, a laundromat magnate turned NFL bigwig who had held firm for years. As legendary Washington Post columnist Shirley Povich wrote:
For the 24 years when he was identified as the leading racist in the NFL, he simply stared down the criticism of his refusal to sign a black player. It was the only subject on which the voluble Marshall never expressed a public opinion, never resorted to a quip. But he bristled when this columnist reminded him in print that “the Redskins colors are burgundy, gold and Caucasian.”
Marshall appeared as outraged by federal interference as he was by the prospect of diversity. “Why Negroes particularly?” he asked. “Why not make us hire a player from another race? In fact, why not a woman? Of course, we have had players who played like girls, but never an actual girl player.” The controversy drew out assorted bigots, including neo-Nazis (above), who protested on Marshall’s behalf to “Keep [the] Redskins White.”
Udall had one advantage over Marshall: The team’s new home field, DC Stadium (later renamed RFK Memorial), was federal property. With Kennedy’s approval, Udall gave Marshall a choice: He could let black players on his team, or take his all-white squad to someone else’s gridiron.
“You can’t tell what will happen under the guise of liberalism,” Marshall griped shortly before acquiring a handful of black players for the 1962 season. He would comply with Udall’s demands even if it meant hiring “Eskimos or Chinese or Mongolians.” The newly integrated team went on to have its best season in five years. | <urn:uuid:c2093995-8beb-4257-8e2f-1f950783cce3> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://develop.motherjones.com/politics/2013/11/nazis-desegregating-washington-nfl-football-team/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570765.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808031623-20220808061623-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.976029 | 576 | 2.109375 | 2 |

Can Rabbits Eat Eggs?
Knowing how to feed your pet rabbit is important for its well-being, as well as what you should keep out of its reach!. For this reason, today we’re going to tell you whether eggs are something you should include in your rabbit’s diet or not. Can rabbits eat eggs? Keep reading and find out!
The first thing you should take into account is the opinion of a professional on the subject. If you don’t, you could put your rabbit’s health at risk. Finding out the facts before offering new food to your pet is fundamental to ensure that it’s going to be beneficial for their health.
So, can rabbits eat eggs? Does this food contain all the necessary nutrients and does it contribute to the well-being of these animals? Keep reading this article to find out! If you have a rabbit at home, this information will be very helpful to contribute to its quality of life.
Nutritional value of eggs
Experts tell us that eggs contain a high nutritional value with top quality protein, vitamins A, E, D, B1, B2, and B3, as well as zinc, selenium, iron, and calcium, in addition to other components.
Therefore, it’s something that provides people with a good part of the nutrients they need on a daily basis. This makes it a key ingredient in many gastronomic cultures around the world. But are eggs as good for rabbits as they are for humans?
Can rabbits eat eggs?
Well, it’s necessary to take into account that rabbits are herbivorous animals and the protein they need is not the type that comes from eggs. Therefore, it isn’t a good idea to feed them this food. It doesn’t matter whether it’s cooked or raw, rabbits shouldn’t eat it under any circumstances.
This animal’s digestive system simply isn’t designed to process it. In other words, giving this protein to rabbits could have a negative impact on them, to the point of making them sick. So, it’s best to avoid eggs at all costs when it comes to feeding rabbits.
Protein for rabbits
In a rabbit’s diet, hay should be a priority. However, unlike wild rabbits, it’s likely that domestic rabbits don’t have the facility to surround themselves with nature and an environment conducive to supplying their nutritional requirements on their own. For this reason, you should be attentive to your pet’s diet.
In this sense, your rabbit’s food must contain the necessary amount of nutrients. For example, quality food in granules, made specifically for rabbits, is an option that will probably have just the right amount and type of proteins that a rabbit needs.
As we mentioned above, hay and grass must be a priority. For this reason, it’s essential that you find out the food that will really contribute to the animal’s health. Some types of food will be dangerous for their health, but others will be very beneficial.
Food that benefits rabbits
Although rabbits can’t eat eggs, other foods are very good for them. Above all, carrot leaves, chard, arugula, Chinese cabbage, dandelion, clover, borage, and endive. But they can also eat cucumber, beet, and celery.
Similarly, you can supplement the diet of these animals with fruit, as long as you choose ones that benefit them, such as strawberries, melon, tangerine, orange, apple, mango, and watermelon. You must choose well if you want to have a healthy pet in your home, because there are also very dangerous options for rabbits.
Eggs are in no way an option for a rabbit. These animals can obtain the nutrients they need through other vegetables, fruit, and food that their digestive system can process without a problem. This will avoid putting their health and life at risk.
In addition, always keep in mind the recommendations of a professional, because these rodents, like dogs or cats, should have a diet according to their age and health. A veterinarian will be able to advise you on what, and how much, food to give your pet to keep it happy .
Don’t forget that a domestic rabbit isn’t only a nice, pleasant, loving companion, but also a responsibility, and one of the most important issues is in its feeding. Keeping this small animal with a balanced diet will be determinant for its health, behavior, and lifespan.It might interest you... | <urn:uuid:0bc33b3e-5810-4fd0-8240-c0d64d699817> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://myanimals.com/animals/domestic-animals-animals/rabbits/can-rabbits-eat-eggs/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.955837 | 961 | 2.75 | 3 |
2530% of normotensive people have salt-sensitive blood pressure, which is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. The underlying mechanisms are not clear but impaired renal salt excretion and vascular (endothelial) dysfunction are currently viewed as important processes for salt-sensitivity.
To add complexity, non-modulation of the hierarchical control systems that regulate renal and vascular function are critical to the development of salt-sensitivity. We have used the syndrome of Apparent Mineralocorticoid Excess (AME) as an exemplar system to interrogate mechanisms of salt-sensitivity. This syndrome is caused by loss of function of 11βHSD2, an enzyme which metabolizes cortisol in cells and thereby preventing glucocorticoids from activating the mineralocorticoid receptor. AME is characterised by sodium retention and severe salt-sensitive hypertension. Global knockout of the gene in mice or rats recapitulates human AME, inducing salt-sensitive hypertension, impaired sodium renal excretion and a rapid decline in renal function. Heterozygous knockout mice have normal BP but retain sodium and become hypertensive when fed a high salt diet, analogous to the mild type 2 variant of AME in humans. In each of these studies, aldosterone modulated appropriately with dietary salt but circulating corticosterone increased and the sympathetic nervous system was hyperactive.
We have used a cre-lox strategy to resolve components of salt-sensitivity. Deleting 11βHSD2 throughout the CNS does not change blood pressure per se but induces a phenotypic switch from salt-resistance to salt-sensitivity. This transition was amplified by an abnormal salt-appetite: such that ad lib salt-intake was ~3 times higher than in controls. We are currently examining renal and vascular function in CNS-knockout mice under basal salt intake and after high salt feeding. Our research highlights the physiological complexity of salt-sensitivity, providing evidence for brain-kidney cross talk influenced by the sympathetic nervous system and hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal axis.

The problem with BBC Radio Four Today Programme’s Thought For The Day slot is not (just) that it’s religious. It’s that it’s so bad.
As a mildly active atheist I do object to the privileged time slot handed over to organised religion. They have enough pulpits – and even seats in the House of Lords – without giving them three minutes of radio prime time. It’s bad enough that the BBC always runs to Bishops when it needs a ‘moral’ perspective on an issue – usually to do with sex.
But the real problem with TFTD is that it’s so often rubbish. Columnist David Aaronovitch can be a grumpy atheist at times but he’s spot on with criticising today’s TFTD (8/9/12) as particularly hapless to the point where it’s offensive:
As I pointed out to David, this one was a particularly good example of a religious person appropriating a very secular triumph – in this case the wonderful atmosphere around the Olympics and Paralympics – and trying to use it to make a religious assertion. As Aaronovitch put it: “that quality of sidling up to a secular success and then draping it in a mantle of religiosity”
Of course, the point is that London2012 was a secular success. Yes, it might have been a kind of opiate for the masses, but the real lesson was how a corporate jamboree was turned into a very positive human and social happening. With almost no trace of organised religion.
The answer to the ‘problem of TFTD’ is not to have secular contributors to leaven the daily diet of God botherers but to get rid of it completely. The pressure to come up with a delivery of spiritual insight and moral instruction every morning is a cast-iron, lifetime guarantee of sententiousness. It’s an open invitation to patronising, banal, self-satisfied simplification.
I have no objection to theology or religion elsewhere in the schedules, indeed, I have worked with religious people and written about how they can improve their use of media. But please save me that daily irritant of TFTD. At least with Twitter I can unfollow those people who post ‘inspiring’ thoughts by Martin Luther King, Ghandi and Stephen Fry. Stick it on the website please, BBC.

The Macchiaioli were a group of Tuscany painters active in the second half of the nineteenth century, who did much of their paintings outdoors to capture natural light, shade, and colour. This practices and technic relates the Macchiaioli to the French Impressionist who came to prominence a few years later, although the Macchiaioli pursued somewhat different purposes. The most representative artists of this movement were Cristiano Banti, Odoardo Borrani, Vincenzo Cabianca, Giovanni Fattori, Raffaelle Sernesi, Silvestro Lega e Telemaco Signorini.
The Museo civico Giovanni Fattori is a museum located in Livorno, inside the striking frame of Villa Mimbelli in Livorno.
The museum hosts a rich collection of Giovanni Fattori paintings, but also paintings of Lega, Signorini, Banti, De Tivoli, Cabianca and Boldini. There are also paintings of different period, such as works of Vittorio Corcos and Nomellini.
Between the works of Giovanni Fattori it is possibile to admire the #Assalto_a_Madonna_della_ Scoperta, the #Carica_di_Cavalleria_a_ Montebello, #Mandrie Maremmane, #Campagna_romana, the signora_Martelli-a _Castiglioncello and the Torre_Rossa.

JOB, THOMAS BULLEY, businessman and politician; b. near Teignmouth, Devon, in 1806, fifth son of John Job and Sarah Bulley; d. in Liverpool, England, 30 Nov. 1878.
Thomas Job’s father was one of the founding partners of the firm of Bulley and Job, which had branches in St John’s, Newfoundland, and Teignmouth, England; by 1809 the centre of the English branch had moved to Liverpool though strong links were maintained with Devon. The Bulley connection with the firm had ceased by 1839, and in that year four of John Job’s sons formed a co-partnership – Samuel and John Jr in Liverpool, and Robert and Thomas Bulley in St John’s. The Liverpool house carried on a considerable timber trade with Canada, but the St John’s branch – assuming its present name of Job Brothers and Company – continued its exclusive concern with Newfoundland. Among the largest in 19th-century Newfoundland, the firm supplied extensively for the cod and seal fisheries, and carried on a large export trade with Europe and Brazil.
Both Robert and Thomas Job were active in public affairs. Prominent members of the local merchant society, they were associated with the campaign to gain a constitution for the island – a concession made in 1832. The association is symbolized by Thomas’ marriage on 8 July 1834 to Jessy Carson, daughter of one of the most radical agitators for this reform, Dr William Carson*. Job himself was not a radical, however, and from 1846 until his defeat in 1852 he sat in the assembly with the Conservative minority as a member for Trinity Bay, a constituency along the southern shore where his firm did a considerable business. Always a quiet Conservative never associated with the famous political battles of the period, Job was appointed to the council in 1852 and resigned on the introduction of responsible government in 1855.
In 1859 his only son Thomas Raffles Job joined the partnership and, together with the more experienced Stephen Rendell as co-partner and manager, took over the St John’s business when his father with the rest of the family (four daughters) moved to Liverpool. Thomas Raffles joined his father in 1866, and it was another branch of the family which returned to run the Newfoundland business later in the century. Thomas Bulley Job became prominent in Liverpool as a town councillor from 1858 to 1864, and as a borough justice and member of the Dock Board. There, as in St John’s, however, the activity of the firm was of more lasting importance than its senior partner.

Safety concerns over recycling collections
A MAN has criticised East Devon District Council after claiming a recycling box was thrown from a collecting lorry into the path of his car.
Oli Moore, 27, was following the lorry on the A376 through Lympstone on February 25 when the alleged incident took place.
In response, EDDC have said that the box fell out of the lorry accidentally, and was recovered by the crew.
An EDDC spokesman said: “SITA UK, the contractor that collects recycling and refuse for us, has looked into this matter and found that the box was not thrown from the vehicle as all the crew were in the cab. SITA states that boxes falling from a vehicle is not acceptable and the crew have been spoken to about ensuring their load is safe when they pull away.”
Mr Moore, a new business consultant from Exeter, said he was driving behind the recycling lorry on his way to work in Exmouth when, as the lorry pulled away following a collection, he saw the box being thrown from the back of the lorry into the road.
Father-of-one Mr Moore said: “The box was thrown out, I know due to its trajectory. There was a clear attempt to return it to the pavement which failed and it then bounced on the road by the kerb and into my path. It eventually landed a foot from the central white line on the road.
“Maybe he’d realised he was meant to leave it and couldn’t be bothered to take it back.”

Mr Moore also says he witnessed a collector drop-kicking a bin up a driveway, and he has made a formal complaint to EDDC.
He said: “I am surprised at the council’s response to this and the distinct lack of thought to the safety of the Devon public and commuters.” | <urn:uuid:06d6b6cd-d99c-4e43-8a2a-4502bb74a16a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.exmouthjournal.co.uk/news/safety-concerns-over-recycling-collections-5689474 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.978972 | 553 | 1.617188 | 2 |
When on the island of Procida… life gives you lemons. Not the sour kind that make you pucker, but the big fat ones with a lot of pith.
You could call them “pithy”, worth their bite. They are called Limoni di Pane. Bread lemons. You can make a salad out of them they are so substantial.
I have taken a fancy to making a quick summer lemon pesto. It’s fresh, not too astringent and goes incredibly well with pasta, potatoes, and especially risotto.
Since it’s mostly lemon peel, chopped fine and mixed with pine nuts, olive oil, salt and pepper, you could also add it like a dressing on just about anything. Fabulous on fish! It will transport you to the islands in the Mediterranean and bring up visions of blue skies, sailboats, colorful beach umbrellas, spritzes and a sparkling sea.
4 lemons, preferably organic
3 cloves of garlic
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup olive oil
parsley, chopped for garnish
Parmigiano Reggiano, grated for topping
red pepper flakes, for flavoring
Peel, slice and chop lemon rinds from 4 lemons very fine. Put in a bowl.
Add garlic, crushed or chopped fine, and pine nuts, also finely chopped.
Add 1/2 cup or so of extra virgin olive oil and the juice of two of the lemons. Stir. Set aside to marinate.
Cook pasta at dente, drain and add to a serving bowl. Mix with the lemon pesto.
Garnish with chopped parsley, grated Parmigiano and red pepper flakes.
And there you have an exquisite summer pasta. | <urn:uuid:58f63709-2ddd-4182-951d-9a91d3d88acb> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://peggymarkel.com/tag/pasta/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570765.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808031623-20220808061623-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.897792 | 386 | 1.523438 | 2 |

Warwick, RI – If you’re recruiting a time-traveling team to the Paleolithic era, Kelsey Devlin would be a good candidate.
Sport hunters in the here and now are out of luck in the face of Devlin’s gold-medal-winning skills with the atlatl, a spear-throwing tool in worldwide use at the time.
“I’m against killing animals, so no,” said the 2011 Warwick Veterans Memorial High School grad and Franklin Pierce University senior when asked if she uses her skills outside scholarly competitions.
Devlin, daughter of Cheryl and John Devlin of Warwick, won her medal as part of Franklin Pierce University’s Atlatl Team at the 19th Annual Northeast Open Atlatl Championship in Addison, Vt., on Sept. 20. The competition involves both distance and accuracy, said Devlin, who’s also the team captain. At 50 yards, she scored 68 points to the second-place competitor’s 32.
The atlatl, a wooden launcher that adds to the length of a thrower’s arm to increase the range and force of a thrown spear, is not as well known as spears or bows.
“I would say it’s the weird cousin of archery,” said Devlin. Later hunting technology, such as the bow and arrow, are more accurate and flashier, so they get the nod in popular culture, she said.
Franklin Pierce boasts one of the nation’s only competitive atlatl teams. Professor Robert Goodby founded it about 10 years ago to give his students better insight into Native American culture through using the weapon.
Devlin’s skill in the Atlatl was developed during her years as a member of the Anthropology Club, to which she was recently elected president. Every Thursday, members of the club practice their aim with the ancient throwing tool, she said.
New students are often surprised to see Devlin and her teammates hurl spears toward their targets – hay bales draped with tarps painted to resemble deer – in a field at the center of campus. But it doesn’t take long for them to start cheering after the novelty wears off.
Franklin Pierce University was Devlin’s first and only choice of schools. She worked with Alan Leveillee at the Public Archeology Laboratory (PAL) in Pawtucket for her senior project. She was introduced to the lesser-known aspects of archeology, including cleaning and categorizing artifacts, she said, and learned about Goodby’s program from Leveillee.
Devlin said she applied to Franklin Pierce University so she could study with Goodby. She was accepted, and now the young archaeologist has her sights set on Texas A&M University, which has an underwater archeology program in Turkey. Devlin said she hopes to spend her post-graduate studies there studying shipwrecks in the Mediterranean Sea.
Though the area is not a welcoming one for westerners, with the insurgent Islamic State’s aggressive and brutal spread through Iraq, Devlin is not allowing that to color her decisions about her future. She said she feels she’ll be far enough away from the fighting to be safe.
Though she is aware Americans and western hostages have been killed by the Islamic State fighters, Devlin said she won’t be scared away from her work. Should she die during her studies, she said, “At least I’ll be doing what I love.”
Besides the risk, archaeology is also unlikely to make her rich, Devlin said, but that’s OK, as her dad has taught her.
“Doing what you love over earning the dollar that you make is really all that matters,” Devlin said.

Let me ask you this: Have you ever witnessed a case where someone calling someone else a racist did any good? Oh, I know it helped the person using the word feel better because they got to feel morally superior, but that is a sensation that lasts only as long as it takes for the user to realize that the racist on the receiving end of the word has moved on from them – not only as racist as ever but frustratingly unwilling to even admit any racist tendencies whatsoever.
Sounds like what we may have here is a good old-fashioned failure to communicate.
How do you define the word “racist”? I don’t mean as an adjective (e.g. that’s racist) I mean as a noun (e.g. you’re a racist). We see it used repeatedly on social media, oftentimes in conjunction with the phrase “you’re part of the problem”; yet, as far as I can tell, the word is only used as a means to shame others; it’s certainly not ever used to foster understanding or encourage dialogue. I don’t recall ever seeing an instance where the recipient was so moved at being called a racist that they suddenly put a Black Lives Matter sign in their yard or made a large donation to the United Negro College Fund.
In fact, I don’t recall ever seeing anyone, after being called a racist, acknowledging anything other than their utter disdain at being called a racist.
Why would they be so defensive? Are they trying to conceal deep, dark truths? Maybe. Or maybe they just don’t see themselves as being racist and really resent the accusation.
My guess is they define racism the same way former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart defined pornography. They know it when they see it – and they feel they’ve seen it enough to know they’re not racist.
They’ve never refused service to a black customer, they’ve never restricted use of their water fountains based on color, they’ve never burned a cross on someone’s lawn, they’ve never used the n-word and they’ve certainly never deliberately denied a qualified candidate of color a job or a place to live. Not only that, but they were also just as horrified at the way George Floyd died as you were.
Does all of that make them not racist? Maybe. Maybe not. That’s not the point. The point is, we’re using a word that is so potent that its very appearance automatically changes the topic of the discussion in which it’s being used – racism – into another, less important, topic – whether or not someone is a racist.
Don’t you think a word that uses the megaton as its unit of measure for societal impact should require unanimity as to its meaning before it gets put into heavy rotation? Just wondering.
Isn’t the first step in fighting a problem to clearly define what the problem is? Without doing that, we get distracted and lose sight of what it is that we most want to accomplish.
I was not being rhetorical. Please explain in the comments section what you think the word “racist” means. If I wanted a dictionary definition or a meme, I could have just done a Google search myself. Yes, I get that there are databases full of quotes that express our thoughts more eloquently than we ever could and that it’s scary to be vulnerable in public, but in this exercise, I would really appreciate if you would describe your own thoughts in your own words.
If you prefer, feel free to offer an example instead. It’s racist when so-and-so does or says such-and-such.
And please: keep the focus of your reply on what’s racist, not who’s racist. There will be plenty of time to discuss that later.

DENVER — An agency that’s geared to helping inmates get back on their feet is at risk of having to shut its doors.
The Community Reentry Project has helped thousands of people try to live normal lives after being locked up.
Hazel Dew is one of those people.
The former elementary school teacher said, “I’ve been to prison twice. I’ve in jail several times. Bonded out. Failure to appears, go back. The end result of addiction or any criminal activity is jail.”
After leaving her teaching job, Dew became addicted to crack cocaine.
She says she’d been arrested at least 50 times and was going nowhere until she asked the Community Reentry Project for help.
Dew said, “First of all, I wasn’t too computer literate and their secretary would always come from behind the desk and assist me when I was getting stuck.”
Among other things, project counselors help inmates prepare for job interviews, and change their thinking and behaviors.
But now, it’s not clear if Denver Human Services will approve funding for the project next month.
We reached out to Denver Human Services, but have not heard back from the department.
The project’s executive director Lisa Calderon says her agency’s $550,000 annual budget may be divided among several agencies.
“And what we are saying is people really need a place they can all their own, where they can feel comfortable. Where they are welcomed at the front door and have a staff that reflects the people that we serve.”
From 2013 to 2016 The Reentry Project served nearly 4,500 people getting out jail.
More than half of those who completed the program did not go back to jail.
“The trick is to get people engaged in services before they get out of jail so they can be stabilized once they get into the community,” Calderon said.
Dew is now volunteering and helping other women in trouble at a different agency.
Inspiration she said, came from the Reentry Project because, “they changed the level of thinking like we’re here to assist you. We want to help you and they supported me every step of the way.”
Which is why she believes she’s still free today. | <urn:uuid:327e08dc-dc19-4a22-bc05-54e28911f15a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://kdvr.com/news/program-that-helps-inmates-reenter-society-in-jeopardy/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570765.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808031623-20220808061623-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.973896 | 487 | 2.171875 | 2 |
LGBTI+ individuals in Uganda are severely discriminated against, and are prevented from enjoying their universal human rights due to a high rate of anti-LGBTI+ violence and a lack of positive legal recognition of their rights.
Freedom Centre-Uganda’s training sessions trained participants on their rights according to regional and international human rights instruments, and demonstrated how religious beliefs can never provide legitimate grounds to discriminate against others. The sessions also provided participants with practical training on advocating for their rights, and supplied materials and an “action plan” on campaigning for legislative and social change.
The training initiative comes as part of a wider project by Freedom Centre-Uganda, designed to create a network of support between the LGBTI+ and humanist communities in Mbarara City. The project has been running since 2021 and is supported by a grant from Humanists International.
Freedom Centre-Uganda also held several focus group sessions as part of the project, so as to better understand and report on the lived experiences of LGBTI+ individuals and the nature of the religious discrimination they have faced in the past, or are currently facing.
The report highlights how many members of the Ugandan LGBTI+ community had shared experiences of isolation, loneliness and rejection, often enhanced by discrimination faced from within the religious communities. In addition, as noted in the report, socio-economic inequality, illiteracy and a lack of community and organizational capacity have limited the ability of LGBTI+ individuals to live a life of fulfilment.
Kamugasha Louis, President of Freedom Centre-Uganda, commented:
“Humanists and LGBTI people have forever been allies. With our project, we wanted to help amplify LGBTI+ voices and agency, to encourage advocacy activities against the widespread discrimination suffered by many on the grounds of gender identity, sexual orientation and belief, at the hands of religious communities. Our aim has been to help empower people to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment, and change some lives for the better in our city of Mbarara City; with support from Humanists International, I believe we are on our way to achieving this.” | <urn:uuid:e5d5d2e3-ca1c-4047-89e3-13bb5a16db6b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://humanists.international/2022/02/ugandan-humanists-conduct-successful-training-in-support-of-lgbti-communities/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570765.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808031623-20220808061623-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.967101 | 437 | 2.453125 | 2 |
“So, what are we supposed to do?” My 13-year-old daughter mumbles the question. It’s a fresh, almost-summer day and we’re parked at the entrance to Den Rock Park, car doors flung open as we wait for the others. She and her friend slump in the back seat of my car, noodling on their electronic devices.
“I’m going to take some pictures,” I say. “You’ll come along and enjoy being outside in nature.”
“But how long is the hike?”
“You said you wanted to be models, right? So, just act. Act like you’re enjoying yourselves.”
More cars arrive. Younger children spring out and launch themselves up the rocky path, a parent chasing behind. Another young teen meanders over to us with her mother. The three girls eye one another. If I read them right, all their glances say "I wish I were doing something else, preferably indoors."
We share bug spray, lock up our cars, and enter the trail. The terrain is easy. It’s not a long hike to the large rock formations we came to see—in fact, once we wind around to the top of the rocks, our view includes the parking lot at the trail head and a T.J. Maxx store across the highway. The young people climb, touch, and contemplate various rocks on command and I take lots of pictures. Within minutes, even the three girls have gotten into the spirit of exploring rocks, almost in spite of themselves. They marvel at the boulder suspended above them, resting its sides on the two opposing walls of a rock “chimney.” I have to instruct them to turn their faces a little toward me, for a photo.
In the car going home, I ask my daughter how she enjoyed being with the rocks. “I wasn’t able to enjoy nature, at all,” she says. “I was too busy trying to keep nature away from me. There were so many bugs! Disgusting.”
She may be tweaking me a bit (that’s what she does, at this age). She’s also being honest. Insects have always wildly repulsed her and her mosquito bites can swell to the size of golf balls. That’s okay. I do not respond. I’m anticipating the photos I’ve taken. I know they will also tell a truth.

How or why is it that family members do not speak of love? To say ‘I Love You’ is hard and/or I guess embarrassing. I have never figured this out within my own family. It is that you just know because you know, you are family and you’re loved. These words are not said. How sad is that?
Even the thought of asking others in the family if they feel a void in love, is off limits. True feelings are not discussed. This makes my heart hurt. My heart has hurt for years of longing for the love that a child/adult should feel or have had received.
Leaving a family member today, my sister, I hugged, and I did say I love you and she just looked at me. Perhaps shocked. I was thinking and even hoping that those words would be reciprocated but not. I wonder if they know or feel this, too.
It took years to get this far though. Before, for years, it was hello/goodbye and no hug so we’ve come a long way baby, as they say.
It is easier to say ‘I Love You’ to a friend than it is a family member. Why is that? To get a kiss on the cheek is definitely not going to happen. I have only a few friends that give me a kiss on the cheek when leaving, along with a hug. Those mean so much. I hold onto those moments.
My children hug me and I cherish those hugs. They know, too, that this Mom will ask for one more hug before they leave to go home. It’s just expected, with a grin. I will always hug them, kiss their cheek and say ‘I Love You’ so they will never have to guess or wonder if I do. I do!
Never let your child(ren) leave without saying those words to them or while they are in your presence. Hug them, pat their arm or back, as the power of touch is healing. They need to know you love them. They may pull away or act embarrassed, especially teenagers, but odds are they want that.
Although, if you only do this while in a drunken/drugged state, that will be a definite turnoff. I don’t blame them, as I experienced that. If that is the only times of love shown, it is not love. Just plain sad. It leaves an empty void in a child’s heart and life, always searching for love. The silent screams become so loud within, Please Love Me, but never spoken because it will not be enough. | <urn:uuid:a8ceaf11-6282-4975-ade6-74b1b88b14c6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://ponderingmissylou.com/2018/08/27/unspoken-love/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.97949 | 544 | 1.632813 | 2 |
Freezing to EXE File¶
When you build an executable with PyInstaller and run it you may get import errors like this one:
ImportError: No module named mido.backends.portmidi
The reason is that Mido uses
import_module() to import the backend
modules, while PyInstaller looks for
The easiest fix is to import the module at the top of the program:
import mido import mido.backends.portmidi # The backend you want to use. print(mido.get_input_names())
and then run
pyinstaller like usual:
$ pyinstaller --onefile midotest.py $ ./dist/midotest [u'Midi Through Port-0']
If you don’t want to change the program, you can instead declare the backend module as a hidden import.
bbFreeze, py2exe, cx_Freeze, py2app, etc.¶
I suspect the same is true for these, but I have not had a chance to try it out yet.
Adding the explicit
import statement should always work, though,
since Mido backends are just normal Python modules. | <urn:uuid:84c75d17-166d-4776-a1bf-0e8977f4372b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://mido.readthedocs.io/en/latest/freezing.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570765.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808031623-20220808061623-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.703323 | 264 | 1.84375 | 2 |
“The Kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21 KJV)
The word Kingdom means the domain of the King. It is where the King has dominion and where He rules. Although we absolutely want to experience the glory of His Kingdom manifest in our natural world, it must first manifest within us—in the hearts and minds of the children of the King.
Where Is the Kingdom?
The King must rule in the thoughts of our minds. The King must rule in the feelings of our hearts. How can we give away something we have yet to experience? How can we shine His light in the world if our minds are still dark, not enlightened with the light of life? How can we share His love and compassion with the world if we don’t feel love and won’t forgive ourselves?
Jesus said, “The Kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21). He wants to extend His rule and to advance His Kingdom, and He says it starts with us. It starts in us. When our thoughts match His thoughts, and we live into the mind of Christ—that’s the Kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 2:16). When our emotions match His emotions, and we live into the fruit of the Spirit—that’s the Kingdom of God (Galatians 5:22).
The best way to experience His rule and reign in the world is to experience His rule and reign in our lives personally—moment by moment, our thoughts obeying Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5), and our feelings aligned with God’s heart (1 Corinthians 13:13).
The Kingdom of Heaven isn’t far removed from us, off in the distant future. The Kingdom begins inside of us. And it starts right now.
EFT: Enforcing the King’s Domain
So how can we get there? How can we live into and out of this Kingdom? One easy and effective way is by practicing Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). Tapping can empower us to release the fears and phobias, worry and anxiety, anger, stress and sadness that engulf us. We know these negative feelings have been subjected to the King’s rule. These are not God’s best for us, and now we can release the negativity and step into blessing. Now we are equipped to get from where we are to where we should be. How can we experience the abundant life for which Christ died? We tap into it!
Tapping can get us in touch with our hearts, where Christ lives (Ephesians 3:17). In His presence is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). His love and peace overwhelm the dark spaces in our hearts and minds, flooding them with the light of His glory.
Ephesians 4:18 illustrates how our minds can be darkened, and 2 Corinthians 4:6 reveals God’s desire of His light to shine in our hearts. We don’t have to struggle and fight the dark thoughts and emotions. We simply have to live in the light. Tapping can connect us to the Light of the World, who lives within us (John 8:12). Indeed, we were formerly darkness, but now we ourselves are light in the Lord (Ephesians 5:8). EFT can keep us plugged in to His infinite power source.
Jesus died for us to live in His peace and joy and hope and love today—not in the sweet by and by. Tapping can be a vehicle that moves us into that safe, positive place—here and now. We don’t have to wait any longer; Jesus already gave us all His blessing, healing, provision and salvation at the cross. We must actively receive and appropriate these gifts and live as if our prayers have already been answered because, in fact, they already have (1 John 5:14–15).
Living from Our Hearts
When our mind is in the alpha brainwave state, the inner world is more real than the outer world. We are not looking at the things that are seen, but the things unseen (2 Corinthians 4:18). The Apostle John called it being "in spirit" (Revelation 1:10; 4:2). Indeed, it’s living to the Kingdom of Heaven within us.
Scientifically proven, EFT moves us into our alpha-level brainwave state, in which we are our most peaceful, intuitive and creative. Even if that were the only benefit, it would be reason enough to tap early and tap often! I go out of my way every single day to live in this alpha state.
I undertake dream interpretation work because we receive dreams during alpha-state REM sleep. I pray and sing in tongues throughout the day because that shifts me from analytical beta brainwaves into the desired meditative and reflective alpha state.
Dream work, praying in tongues, tapping—I often engage in all three activities simultaneously. I meditate on my night vision from Heaven, pray into it in the Spirit, and tap the revelation deep into my cells and my heart. When we experience life while in the alpha brainwave state, we have moved down into our spirit and are living from our heart zone. Jesus lives in our hearts, so we want to live into our heart—and out of our heart as well. From our heart flows everything else in our lives (Proverbs 4:23).
What If God Held His Breath?
The Lord spoke an awesome word to my teaching assistant, Patty Sadallah, in her journaling time. God confirmed His intimate connection with each one of us when He explained, “If I held My breath, all creation would cease to exist.” Yes!
The Hebrew word for “breath” is ruach and also means “spirit.” In Genesis, we read that God breathed into man the breath of life, and he became a living being. It is the very Spirit and breath of God Himself that animates, energizes and gives life to our physical bodies.
One of my favorite tapping verses is in the Book of Job: “The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life” (Job 33:4). Everyone has this spirit in them. All who are alive—they are breathing God’s breath. Christ is all and is in all (Colossians 3:11). Indeed, He is not far from any one of us, for it is in Him that we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:27–28).
We want His Spirit to flow unhindered. We want His energy to surge through us unimpeded and unobstructed. We want His breath to move freely around us, within us, and through us. The spirit—or the literal translation breath—of man is the lamp of the Lord, searching the innermost parts of his being (Proverbs 20:27).
Through EFT we can remove barriers, allowing His Spirit to flow unrestrained. Through tapping we can unstop His River in our lives. This is one way to work out our soul’s salvation, knowing it is God who is at work in us, accomplishing His good pleasure (Philippians 2:12–13). Holy Spirit does the work. Holy Spirit is the one who heals us, gives us breakthrough and sets us free.
Through tapping, we simply position ourselves to allow His breath, river, spirit, energy, and presence to flow most powerfully through us. Can we stop the blessings of God? Of course we can. Can we position ourselves to receive the greatest outpouring available? Of course we can. The choice is ours. And EFT gives us a powerful way to choose well.
Dr. Jim Richards and I had a fantastic weekend sharing our experiences with EFT at his Heart Physics conference last month. If you weren’t able to join us, you can now get the full weekend of audio teaching plus two bonus video sessions demonstrating all the tapping points. You can find out details on this new MP3 series here.

The most important thing to be successful in e-business is to be at the top of the search engine impressions . How to do it? SEO tools come to the rescue. There are many tools that positioners use, including: Ahrefs, Senuto, Semstorm, ASPS, SurferSEO, Google Analytics, Google Search Console. Much emphasis should be placed on researching key phrases. SEO activities also include: website indexing audit and indexing efficiency improvement.
usually refer to a unique company name. The unique name is easy for Google to match to the page. However, when the name of the company is similar or the same as the name of another activity, then achieving the first position in search engines requires taking appropriate actions on the brand phrase. (example of a brand name - GOJAMA)
are the most difficult to position, these are popularly searched phrases. They are good for large companies, smaller entities should focus on other solutions that are more effective for them. (example of a general phrase - positioning)
they are more precise and should be the focus of smaller actors. They detail products or services, have less competition, and there is a great variety of them. The number of searches is lower than the number of general phrases, but the probability that the user finds the page is much higher. (example of long tail phrase - Gojama positioning services)
which are used to generate traffic to the website using them on Social Media. (example of an informational phrase - Pomeranian Voivodeship)
Site indexing audit includes:
Methods of increasing the indexing efficiency:

how does a capacitors works
August 14, 2021
Basically, it is made of two planar plates separated by an insulator.
The water analogy can help. Imagine two plastic bags filled with water, but constrained against each other inside a rigid can.
We assume that if the "can" with our bags is unconnected, the water in the bags cannot escape. Same for a capacitor, if left unconnected, nothing happens (ideally).
If you push water, with a pump, into ONE of the bag, it will try to expand. But the other bag will resist since water cannot leave from it and water is not compressible. So is a capacitor connected to just one end, even if we put a battery at that end, nothing happens. We need a complete circuit. A dandling capacitor is a strange antenna, not much anything more...
If we connect the two bags of water, externally, and one of the bag is connected to a pump pushing water in the bag, even if NOT a single water drop can travel from one bag to the other, inside the can, water will flow out of the second bag since the bag filled by the pump will be able to expand and so, crunch the second bag. In this mode, we "charge" de capacitor. When the other bag cannot expel water anymore, the flow stops. With capacitor, that occurs when the electrons are so dense on one plate that they repulse any incoming electrons, from the electrical source, for a given voltage.
Next, if we remove the pump or the electrical source, but still connect the "can" / capacitor inside a close loop, the bag with the most pressure will try to relax itself into supplying the other deflated bag. For the capacitor, that would appear as if the capacitor was a source of voltage or current, but "fastly" discharging itself.
That is just an analogy. Sometimes using air instead of uncompressible water would be more correct to visualize some non-linearities of the capacitor, or some capacitor recharging themselves, partially, without any external sources. But those are "advance" stuff.
That analogy hides some useful approximation, though, such as that we assume that, in total, there is no excess of electrons or protons if we consider the two plates of the capacitor for the total. And in the end, capacitors are concerned with electrons (protons don't move much inside an unmoving solid).

Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of vitamin D and home-based quadriceps resistance exercise on reducing falls and improving the physical health of frail older people after hospital discharge.
Design: Multicenter, randomized, controlled trial with a factorial design.
Setting: Five hospitals in Auckland, New Zealand, and Sydney, Australia.
Participants: Two hundred forty-three frail older people.
Interventions: Patients were randomized to receive a single dose of vitamin D (calciferol, 300,000 IU) or placebo tablets and 10 weeks of high-intensity home-based quadriceps resistance exercise or frequency-matched visits.
Measurements: The primary endpoints were physical health according to the short-form health survey at 3 months and falls over 6 months. Physical performance and self-rated function were secondary endpoints. Assessments took place in the participants' homes at 3 and 6 months after randomization and were performed by blinded assessors.
Results: There was no effect of either intervention on physical health or falls, but patients in the exercise group were at increased risk of musculoskeletal injury (risk ratio = 3.6, 95% confidence interval = 1.5-8.0). Vitamin D supplementation did not improve physical performance, even in those who were vitamin D deficient (<12 ng/mL) at baseline.
Conclusion: Neither vitamin D supplementation nor a home-based program of high-intensity quadriceps resistance exercise improved rehabilitation outcomes in frail older people after hospitalization. There was no effect of vitamin D on physical performance, and the exercises increased the risk of musculoskeletal injury. These findings do not support the routine use of these interventions at these dosages in the rehabilitation of frail older people. | <urn:uuid:7ec28805-ce58-48ac-b8d3-f0270597e1bf> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12588571/?dopt=Abstract | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.947516 | 358 | 2.125 | 2 |
Have you ever had to see a psychologist?
Did they really talk about YOU?
DID IT WORK?
Most psychological approaches remain on the level of the conscious mind.
Whatever makes us ill is usually hidden in our subconscious.
Whatever is conscious might bother us, but it usually does not cause disease.
Therefore it is a crucial requirement for ANY psychological method that it is able to open the doors to our subconscious mind…just as far as the patient can go.
Additionally, it is desirable that some insights, which become available through the access to our subconscious can be made conscious – in order to facilitate learning.
‘Counselling’ often proves to be too superficial.
Not only does counselling mostly reflect the opinion of the counseller, it also fails to touch the underlying, unconscious problems.
On the other hand… the methods, which reach deeper, need a lot of trust between the client and the therapist.
Hypnotherapy, for instance, can be wonderful or…pretty manipulative, depending on the therapist.
You will be able to guess that I will suggest a method, which is closely related to ART:
Opposite to many other psychological methods it reaches deep enough even though the patient is semi-awake and sort of has the last word how far to go and when to stop.
Both patient and therapist are well-protected and learning is almost guaranteed.
A Psycho-Kinesiology session is structured like an ART-session:
Usually the patient will lie comfortably on an examination table as the therapist tries to come as close as possible to the underlying problem with the help of ART.
If the underlying cause is minor, it will often do to define the time when the trauma happened– your subconscious mind knows the exact date and time, also who was involved. Very often this information is enough to trigger the client’s memory.
The more severe cases might need some semi-hypnotic aids, like couloured glasses or certain eye-movements to bring the old or suppressed memories to the surface again.
At any stage the client can say :”STOP!”, if it is getting too scary for him/her.
Also the therapist will sometimes ask: “Shall we go deeper here?”
Once the issue has been brought to the surface it is easy usually pretty to solve it.
One issue-one session!
Sometimes one session will be enough for a physical symptom to disappear, sometimes a Psycho-Kinesiology session is ‘only’ the first door-opener for a long healing process.
What ever happens, it will be ABOUT YOU!
People sense this fundamental difference to many other psychological approaches.
Even clients, who have already tried a fair bit of psycho-therapies in vain, usually become confident again, cheer up and would certainly recommend | <urn:uuid:b67883a9-7d8e-47b1-ada6-9fb34bcc68d3> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://newgermanartofhealing.com/my-favourite-therapies/psycho-kinesiology/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570765.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808031623-20220808061623-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.948727 | 612 | 2 | 2 |

The Saratoga County Fair has been bringing rides, games, shows, animals, music, tractor pulls, demolition derbies, and so much more to the Saratoga Springs community for nearly two centuries, with this year marking the 175th anniversary.
With an epic history behind the fair, a strong presence in the local community, and a brand new event no other fairs are doing, this year promises to the best yet for the Saratoga County Fair.
The fair started in 1841. At the time, there were only 26 states in the nation, eight presidents had held office, and Canada was not yet a country. The Saratoga County Fair predates most of the agricultural fairs in New York State and even the US, and was also around before the Saratoga Race Course.
A commemorative meeting was held at the Saratoga County Office Complex in Ballston Spa in March of this year, which included descendants of some of the original board members of the Agricultural Society from 1841: Steven Merchant, Nancy Voehringer, and Ronald Ellsworth.
Since January, the Board of Directors of the Saratoga County Agricultural Society has been attempting to track down descendants of the “Original 46” – the 46 members of the executive committee who started the fair. So far, they have located over a dozen of the original families to date.
Over the years as the fair has grown and evolved, it has only further solidified its importance in the Saratoga area and Capital Region at large. The purpose of county fairs in New York State is to “promote and reward the best agriculture and domestic manufacture” – and the Saratoga County Fair accomplishes this mission to the fullest.
Last year, the fair awarded over $42,000 to winning contestants. The fair and other events at the Saratoga County Fairgrounds and Expo Center have generated over $14 million annually in economic impact for Saratoga County.
“The communities around us depend on the Saratoga County Fair for tourism, jobs, and entertainment every year,” said Dona Frank, publicist for the fair’s 175th anniversary season. “People look forward to attending the fair each year – it just keeps getting better and better.”
The fair has several brand new events this year in commemoration of the 175th anniversary you won’t want to miss out on, including the following:
- The Axe Woman of Maine, World Champion, awarding all female lumberjacks
- In Capable Hands comedy and juggling act, who have performed on shows like The Tonight Show and Live with Regis and Kelly
- Hypnotist and Magician Lance Gifford, presenting a Las Vegas-style illusion show
- More live music than ever before, with entertainment on eight stages
- Robinson’s Racing Pigs
- Alaskan Grizzly Experience – live grizzly bears, up close
- Robotics demonstrations by top school competitors in the state
- 4-H “Small Animal” Building with more animals
- First ever Eight-Horse Hitch competition in the Draft Horse Show
The Saratoga County Fair has draft horse displays going on all week that draw guests from throughout the Northeast, including Canada, to see these amazing shows and competitions. These magnificent horses and drivers compete in single cart classes as well as in teams.
“The average weight of each horse is 2,000 pounds, each harness is 150 pounds per horse, and the wagon weighs roughly 3,500 pounds, totally 16,400 pounds for each six-horse hitch,” Julie Armer-Carson, horse trainer, said in a statement. “The ground rumbles when they are moving around the ring.”
The Eight-Horse Hitch competition is truly exciting and unique, and brand new to the fair this year. This competition is happening on Wednesday, July 22nd. This event is bigger and more exciting than ever with an extra 4,000 pounds of thunderous, earth-shaking horse power.
The fair is running Tuesday, July 19th through Sunday, July 24th. General admission to the fair is $12, or you can purchase a season ticket for the entire week for $40. A $20 hand stamp allows you to ride rides all day, any day at the fair as part of the Pay Once Price Rides – enjoy unlimited rides! Free parking is available in the fair operated lots A, B, D, and E. It goes without saying that the usual spread of delicious fair food will be available all week long!
Whether you’re attending as a vendor or a guest, you definitely want won’t to miss out on the 175th anniversary of the Saratoga County Fair. Come out and be a part of this amazing event that has become such a prominent place in our community. | <urn:uuid:985c8a5e-e874-4b67-b241-ddefccd2cb84> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.saratoga.com/around-the-region/2016/07/saratoga-county-fairs-175th-season-starts-next-week/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.957764 | 1,009 | 1.703125 | 2 |
A recent Government report has shown that the Scottish Government’s multi-billion pound spending on new road projects will damage rail services in Scotland.
The report, released by Transport Scotland, showed that the Government’s £3 billion spending on dualling the A9 road is likely to reduce the viability of rail freight services to and from the north of Scotland.
Whilst the main road between Perth and Inverness is dualled – despite the business case not being clear for this project – the Highland Main Line rail network to Inverness remains largely single track and, in many places, is still dependent on Victorian-era infrastructure.
Commenting on the news, Paul Tetlaw, Head of the Policy Forum at Transform Scotland, said:
“It is deeply disappointing to read that yet more rail freight is likely to transfer to the roads as a result of the Scottish Government’s focus on spending the vast bulk of the transport capital budget on road building. The Government’s own report makes this abundantly clear. | <urn:uuid:049f91a1-940f-4d9e-94b2-0e6e2d43661f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://intercityexpress.transform.scot/2017/10/01/governments-multi-billion-spending-on-roads-will-damage-rail-services/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570765.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808031623-20220808061623-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.955354 | 210 | 2.125 | 2 |

Life is not easy, especially in college.
College is a time where people begin to create their own individuality while at the same time trying to earn a degree.
These two are difficult achievements to master, and one could only imagine having to do them at the same time.
No matter how unimaginable they are, there certainly are people who leave college feeling accomplished along with a degree in their hands.
Although the feeling of accomplishment is common after graduation, the four years spent will include mixed emotions.
Presumably, the average college student tends to feel overwhelmed, stressed, worried, angry and simply terrified.
This is normal considering just how much students deal with.
Going to class, completing schoolwork, studying, attending clubs, practicing for sports, going to work, creating hang outs, making appointments, working out, running errands and keeping a steady diet and sleep schedule.
These are all things college students come by as they live their lives in college.
In short, attending college is a big responsibility, and one in which students must take seriously.
For this, it is guaranteed that students will come across negative feelings like those listed above.
However, it is important that students take the proper action to stay emotionally healthy.
Primarily, every individual is different; therefore, everyone may handle stress in different ways.
Many college students can be found using various methods throughout their four years.
A few of the most common methods include: talking to a friend, journaling, listening to music, watching a movie, taking a walk, napping or even showering.
All of these can help a person calm down from stress and help them think clearly.
Often times, college students forget that these are stress relievers, especially since they are daily activities.
However, they are. Each time a student does these activities, they become distracted by whatever it was that made them feel stressed or upset.
Distraction is probably the number one method to decreasing stress.
Moreover, people know themselves best. Despite how much they think otherwise, it is true.
Thus, it is encouraged to learn how your body reacts to stress and go from there.
Sometimes, people are luckily enough to learn and take action quickly. Other times, they are not.
For those of you who are not, it is best for you to learn yourself or try to ask for assistance.
Assistance. These two things are another great way to make sure that a person is emotionally healthy.
If people are upset and stressed out, it is beneficial to say something rather than allow themselves to hurt.
Nonetheless, people can become emotionally healthy by simply taking care of themselves.
Taking care of oneself is an important thing on its own, but if people do not take care of themselves, it will only increase the negative feelings.

University of Mkar courses offered have been accredited by the National Universities Commission, NUC which gave them an order to legally carry out the lecturing of those particular courses.
Since its establishment, University of Mkar has been carrying out different types of courses and programs for eligible students who were admitted into the tertiary institution.
Today, MubeeCenter would be discussing on the University of Mkar courses that any aspiring student or applicant can choose to study in the institution.
- University of Mkar Acceptance Fee For Undergraduate [UPDATED]
- Veritas University Cut Off Mark [UPDATED]
Although there are many courses of University of Mkar, one must know and understand which kind, of course, he/she can choose (that will suit his/her SSCE grades result and even Jamb Result).
Some courses at University of Mkar are highly competitive, which requires more marks for one to be able to gain admission into the University.
Nevertheless, MubeeCenter would list some criteria for one to look into before choosing any type of program or course offered at University of Mkar.
They are listed below;
1. Combination of the Subjects of your SSCE (WAEC, NECO, or other)
2. Potential cut-off mark of the course. What this simply means here is the special cut-off mark that your particular course needs before one can gains admission into its institution.
There is a difference between the cut-off mark and the potential cut-off mark. And what is the difference?
The difference is that the cut-off mark means the general approved required marks of University of Mkar, while the potential one is the cut-off mark that is above the first one which will give chances of being admitted even if there are too many applicants that applied for the course. i.e cut-off mark = 120 (which is the general) potential cut-off mark= 150
Meanwhile, the potential one gives one more assurance of getting admission.
Without much wasting of time, we need to discuss the Subject Combination too.
The subject combination of the University of Mkar courses is almost the same as others, but with little difference.
The subject combinations are basic subjects which one studies in his secondary school. They are mostly categorized as 5-6.
The subject combination can fall either into Science, Art, or Commercial. Below is a breakdown list of all the categories.
Mathematics, English, Physic, Chemistry, Biology
Mathematics, English, Literature, Government, Economics,
Mathematics, English, Marketing, Agriculture,
The above is much important for someone to know when choosing any University of Mkar Course to avoid a misleading error. If you are a science student, chose a science course and vice-versa.
While there are some general courses of University of Mkar which all category students can afford to study.
Now let’s go into the main point, which is University of Mkar Courses.

I have one question - how can I implement freezing of column(columns) in DataGrid - .NET . I want to imitate behaviour of freezing columns in for example Access, could you can help me.
If you mean not allowing the user to resize columns, see the message in the forum from a few days ago. Here's a link:
THthomasJune 3, 2004 05:45 AM
i felt your pain. as an alternate solution:
Use 2 datagrids. one on the left which shows only the freeze columns. you will need to (for both) inherit from datagrid so you can override the protected GridVScroll event handler. In the event, call the base event, and then post the ScrollEventArgs via an event. Have the freezing grid register for those events. in that event handler, call it''s base.GridVScroll event, passing the original ScrollEventArgs as the second argument. Be sure to set the datasource of the frozen grid to the one on the right''s datasource (that way, tabbing around will also maintain row context.
it''s really easy to implement once you get it down, and although not beautiful, it''s functional.
===example from the scroll thrower=====
if(null != SrollingGridVScroll)
======example from the scroll catcher(frozen)==
public virtual void VerticalScroll(object sender, ScrollEventArgs se)
//register VerticalScroll to handle the thrower''s VScroll event. | <urn:uuid:d191a051-a324-421f-8a28-84ee5c5623da> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.syncfusion.com/forums/13849/how-to-freeze-columns | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.829444 | 400 | 1.695313 | 2 |
In 1891 an insurance company was begun by 22 farmers who were displeased with the high premiums they were paying to east coast insurers whom they weren’t even sure could be relied on. Since that day, Farmers Mutual Insurance Company has spent its entire history in downtown Lincoln, NE. They are now deepening their roots in the downtown corridor with a new $17,000,000 headquarters. The 65,000 SF three story office building incorporates a ‘green roof’ and has an attached parking garage.The building’s design and construction faced a number of hurdles. Seeing as how Farmers Mutual is a property and casualty insurance company, it only made sense to use a framing and flooring system that was inherently fire resistant. Minimizing the floor-to-floor height was also an issue because of the building’s proximity to the State Capitol which has height restrictions on the surrounding buildings.
The solution proposed by the designers at Davis Design Inc. was to use an innovative precast concrete moment frame comprised of a shallow beam-to-column continuity connection that provided lateral load resistance without the need for shear walls. This design also eliminated the need for column corbels so it further helped to provide a barrier free space. This building was the first in the United States to use this technology which was developed by The University of Nebraska in conjunction with Concrete Industries, Inc. and funded by The Charles Pankow Foundation.
At the heart of the system is a shallow beam that has an open trough or tub at its end by the column. The column has a corresponding opening cast into it such that once the frame is erected, workers can come back and install continuous reinforcing steel in the beam tubs and through the column. They then cast the beam tub and column opening full of concrete. Temporary steel angle haunches are then removed. This connection mimics the continuity achieved by cast-in-place concrete construction. The system also allows for the complete erection of the precast frame before the cast-in-place floor topping operations begin.

To increase the recording density of magnetic disk drives, the spacing between the flying slider and the rotating disk should be as small as possible. If the spacing between the flying head and the rotating disk approximates the molecular mean-free path, rarefaction effects must be taken into account. Starting from a Poiseuille flow rate database, a simplified precise second order (PSO) model is proposed to simulate ultra-thin gas film lubrication. The new model is evaluated using the finite volume method. The numerical results are compared with other models, including the widely used FK (Fukui and Kaneko) model. The new PSO model has three key advantages compared to other models. First, compared with the 1st-order model, the 2nd-order model and the 1.5th-order model, the PSO model has better accuracy in simulating the air bearing film. Second, the PSO model has a simpler mathematical formulation than the FK model. Third, the PSO model has higher accuracy and requires less computation time than other models including the FK model.

These data are analysed to find out; there is no partial relation between International apparel brands and Bangladeshi apparel manufacturers.
This research project will concentrate the profit growth variance between International Apparel Brands and Bangladeshi Apparel Manufacturers. Analysing the profit growth percentage and variance is an important task for business analyst professionals to make proper business plan in every year. This research project will cover background of the project, literature review, research aim and questions. In order to answer research questions, this research project will cover research method, findings, discussion and conclusion.
2.1 Problem statement:
International Apparel business has become very competitive from the last few decades. Wal-Mart, H&M, Target, Kmart, J.C. Penny, Uniqlo, Mango, Inditex and so on; are some big apparel brands in the world who are holding the most number of consumers in the world. Adegoke, Arnold and Poul (2009) found that due to survive in competitive apparel market, most of the international apparel brands are sourcing their products from poor or developing countries like Bangladesh, India, China, Vietnam, Srilanka, Turkey. This research project concentrates on Bangladeshi apparel manufacturers. International apparel retailers are placing big orders to Bangladeshi manufacturers as Bangladesh achieved the largest market share of apparel manufacturing after China (McClearn, 2013). The main reason behind this is to increase profit. A previous study by Michael, Xavier (2013) found that Profit is positively related to innovation outsourcing.
Along with international apparel brands, Bangladeshi apparel manufacturers are also focusing on profit to sustain their existence in the competitive market. Though there are some different factors that influence both parties profit growth. Analysing a business’s profit growth can show the future path of that business. However, there is not much studies profit growth impact and relationship between apparel brands and apparel manufacturers. Michael, Xavier (2013) argued that finding a retail company’s profit growth and understanding the relation with suppliers indicates the company’s strength.
3.0 Literature Review:
3.1 Factors influence profit Growth of International Apparel brands:
International apparel brands are taking a number of measures to compete worldwide and increasing their profit growth. Some factors come under light when apparel brands are conscious about their profit. Fratto, Jones & Cassill (2006) found that product price is the most important factor in competitive market. Product (apparel) unit price is largely depends on products manufacturing cost. Edaba, Lucie, Norma, Nora & paul (1994) found that When retailers face challenges on their profit, they respond by reducing the price of manufacturer. International apparel brands are sourcing apparels from Bangladesh as Bangladesh can produce ready-made garments in very cheap price comparing to other countries in the world. Strahle, Koksal (2015) pointed that Bangladesh is one of the best destination for low production cost of apparel. In addition, besides low cost production strategy, apparel retailers work on squeeze of unit product price, price concession or acceleration of delivery time (Paul, Vanessa.2001). Lot of apparel brands in the world has changed their business strategy on focusing on low cost production and profit growth. Fratto et al (2006) found that cost reduction strategy is Wal-Mart’s core business strategy. Along with Wal-Mart, many other international apparel brands are following the same strategy.
Labour cost is also a very important factor that influence the ultimate profit of apparel brands. McClearn (2013) stated that Chinese labour cost is increasing in double digit percentage every year where Bangladeshi apparel labour cost are not increasing that much which attracts apparel buyers to place order in Bangladesh. In international competitive apparel market, supplier selection is a very tough decision where a buyer needs to sure about market production cost, maintenance of quality, capabilities of delivering huge production quantity and maintain delivery time. Shrahle et al (2015) argues that apparel brands prefer to place order where they can get assurance about low cost production, no tariff on apparels, use of high technology, delivery commitment on time and political stability. Apparel brands can control over their profit growth by controlling these factors.
3.2 Bangladesh as a big apparel supplier:
Bangladesh has become a large apparel supplier in the world for last few years. BGMEA (2016) shows a data that there are 4,482 garments industries where about 4.0 million employees are working. According to Around the globe (2016), Bangladesh garments export earning boost to $25.3 billion in July-April session 2015-2016 from last fiscal year 2014-2015 same session. In year 2016-2017 Bangladesh garments export expand a lot. BEPB (2016) published a data that Bangladesh garments export earning in Australia, UK, USA, Canada and Europe was $5.82.02, $3306.50, $5201.01, $946.30 and $17750.50 respectively.
Bangladesh is the biggest apparel sourcing hot-spot as Rachel, Mushfiq (2015) China has planned to shift apparel sourcing away for increasing labour cost and skilled labour shortage in this sector. Therefore, Bangladesh got the most market share for apparel manufacturing. Strahle et al (2015) stated that business friendly environment, better trade agreement, cheap labour cost, cheap transportation cost for raw materials, putting apparel business under free trade agreement with a lot of countries, use of high technology in apparel production makes Bangladesh a suitable place to place manufacturing order. A report projection says that Bangladesh apparel export business will triple in 2021 which will also lead a labour demand of 3.5 million workers (Rachel et al ,2015).
3.3 Factor influences profit growth of Bangladeshi apparel manufacturers:
Bangladeshi apparel manufacturing industry is growing under high competition with other countries in the world. Maintain buyer’s commitment and profit growth at the same time has become a great challenge. Jin, Farr (2010) found that buyers puts continuous pressure on suppliers to control production cost and quality at the same time.This situation is not easy to overcome for manufacturers. Taslima (2014) found that Bangladeshi apparel manufacturer found themselves in the middle between product demand in different fashion season in global market and controlling production cost to make profit. So, low production cost and low labour cost are two main factors that influence Bangladeshi apparel industries profit growth. McClearn (2013) found that production cost for a T-shirt in Bangladesh is almost half from its nearest competitor China. ILRF (2012) published that sweaters can produce sweater 17% cheaper than its closest competitor Vietnam. In addition, Children’s cotton shirt can be produced 15% cheaper in Bangladesh than its nearest competitor Cambodia and 50% cheaper than its second closet competitor China. In this perspective, apparel manufacturers choose to keep labour cost almost same every year which will differentiate them from other competitors. Hence, that creates the worker’s life miserable ultimately. Larry (2013) found that dirt-cheap labour, vulnerable building construction, poverty is the behind story of Bangladeshi workers life.
3.4 Profit focus causing the ignorance of Bangladeshi apparel worker’s miserable life:
International apparel buyers and Bangladeshi apparel manufacturers both parties are concern about individual profit growth. Emmelhainz, Adams &Ronalds (1999) found that international apparel buyers are going under extra scrutiny for using sweatshop labour in production to maximise profit. Farhana, Monir & Shayekh (2015) found that almost 50% of apparel manufacturing worker’s salary is around BDT 10,000 per Month which is the world’s cheapest labour cost in apparel manufacturing.
Taslima (2014) argues that manufacturers are in serious competition that they cannot even negotiate with the buyers regarding price and delivery time as they are afraid to lose order. Paul et al (2001) argued that apparel retailers control market share effect on profitability to achieve economical goal only. Few buyer as Tesco, lower their product price 5-10% in year 2005-2006 than 2004-2005 (Taslima,2014). In that sense, apparel manufacturing workers in Bangladesh are depriving from promotion, regular salaries, overtime, medical facilities, safe working place and so on. Nancy (2016) found that employers tolerate unsafe working condition and long working hours to make more profit. In recent years, Bangladesh apparel manufacturing faced two devastating accidents. Diana (2015) found that collapse of Rana Plaza in Savar, Dhaka costs 1100 garments worker’s life in 2013 and fire in Tazreen Fashion, Bangladesh took 112 workers life. These two horrific accidents grabbed the whole world’s attention. A number of apparel brands signed an accord on building safety and fire safety within three weeks (Diana, 2015). Emmelhainz et al (1999) found that government and consumer’s consciousness regarding foreign manufacturers and their workers condition are increasing. Nimbalker, Cremen & Wrinkle (2013) found that 7% of Australian apparel brands code of conduct maintain ILO principles. Australian Fashion Report 2015 found that about 75% of apparel brands are not concern about their manufacturer. International apparel brands are more focused on profit growth where Taslima (2015) argues that buying practice of buyers have a direct impact on apparel manufacturers and their workers.
Base on the above study, the hypotheses are developed;
H0: Profit growth percentage of International apparel brands and Bangladeshi apparel manufacturers are related on each other.
H1: Profit growth percentage of international apparel brands and Bangladeshi apparel manufacturers are not related to each other.
4.0 Research Aim and Question:

5.2 Data Collection:
The main data for this paper are the annual and financial reports of seven international apparel brands and five Bangladeshi apparel manufacturing industries. Annual reports and financial reports are collected between the year 2012 to 2015 from the company’s official websites. In addition, data was also sourced from Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Associations (BGMEA) bgmea.com.au, Bangladesh Export Promotion Bureau (BEPB) www.epb.gov.bd. For literature review and other purposes, different journals, books, articles, fashion reports and other secondary data were reviewed.
All data are collected from sampled companies annual report, substantial report and Financial report within the year 2012 to 2015. The variables-profit growth and profit growth percentage, for seven apparel brands and five apparel manufacturers of Bangladesh will be used in data analysis.
6.0 Data Analysis:
In this research paper quantitative data as net profit, net profit growth percentage, net profit growth percentage difference is collected from annual and substantial report of sampled companies from 2012 to 2015.Bryman &Cramer (2001, p.2) pointed out that Quantitative data analysis is advantageous in respect to the diffusive use of statistical data. The statistical data of all companies’ annual report will be done to find out profit growth and profit growth percentage.They will be analysed by using correlation analysis to find out the relation between International apparel brands profit growth and Bangladeshi apparel manufacturers profit growth. SPSS software is issued to perform correlation analysis. In addition, few calculations will be done to analyse profit growth and percentage of profit growth of the companies.
6.1 Profit Growth analysis:
The first part of the analysis is to find out profit growth of sampled international apparel brands and Bangladeshi apparel manufacturers. All data is sourced from the annual report, sustainability report of seven international apparel brands from the year 2012 to 2015. Few apparel brands profits are converted to USD currency for the convenience of calculation.

6.2 Profit Growth Percentage Analysis:
Profit growth percentage indicates a company’s success. Luigi (1962) found that profit growth accumulates the distribution of capital and income. Profit Growth percentage in every year between 2012 to 2015 will be calculated by using the formula of increase of profit growth percentage and decrease of percentage.
Increase ÷ previous Number × 100%= increase ↑
Decrease ÷ previous Number × 100% = Decrease ↓
Profit Growth percentage of seven international apparel brands signifies their business position in world market.
Table05: Seven (7) International Apparel Brands Net profit growth percentage from 2012-2015. (all data are in percentage)
|AVG profit growth %||7.59%↑||8.65%↑||1.55%↑||6.67%↓||17.58%↑||25.46%↓||12.65%↑|

To determine whether there is any relationship between International apparel brand and Bangladeshi apparel manufacturers profit growth percentage, it is essential to identify each company’s profit growth and profit growth percentage.
7.0 Findings & Result:
7.1 Descriptive statistics:
Seven international apparel brands and five Bangladeshi apparel brands; annual report and financial report from the year 2012-2015 is provided in sourcing data. Descriptive statistics shows that profit growth percentage in 2012-2012,2013-2014,2014-2015 (3 sessions) that makes the n value 3.Minimum and maximum change of profit growth percentage of each company is also found from the descriptive statistics. Mean value shows that five (5) out of seven (7) international apparel brands profit growth percentage is positive in average where four (4) out of five manufacturers average profit growth percentage is positive.
Table 07: Descriptive statistics
|H and M||3||-6.31||30.92||8.6513||19.66051|
|Valid N (list wise)||3|
Descriptive statistics shows the standard deviation all companies, where it shows all the companies profit growth percentage (apparel brands and manufacturers) are positively differ from each other. In addition, it also shows that five Bangladeshi apparel manufacturers profit growth percentage is more than the apparel brands profit growth percentage.
Correlation table shows that percentage of International apparel brands profit growth are control variable to check partial correlation between 7 apparel brands and 5 apparel manufacturers.
|Table08: partial correlation N=12, (7+5)
|Walmart & Uniqlo & H&M & Inditex & Kmart & Mango & Target||STML||Correlation||1.000||.||.||.||.|
The partial correlation results show that there is no relation between International apparel brands profit growth percentage as there is no difference occurs between Bangladeshi apparel manufacturers and international apparel brands profit growth percentage change.
The purpose of this section is to measure the impact of profit growth percentage among the companies. Company performance largely reflects its yearly growth percentage where finding says there is no correlation between international apparel brands and Bangladeshi apparel manufacturer’s profit growth percentage.
Each company’s profit growth depends on the market competition, labour cost, raw material and infrastructure cost. Therefore, apparel brands spend a large amount of money on retailing and advertising. In contrast, Apparel manufacturers need more money on product development and improving quality.
The finding shows hypothesis H1is accepted that says there is no relation between international apparel brands and Bangladeshi apparel manufacturer’s profit growth percentage.
This section will focus on research aim and questions, limitations of this research project and recommendations.This research project finds that profit growth of international apparel brands is changing a lot comparing to Bangladeshi apparel manufacturers profit growth. Here, this changes are occurring to retailer’s apparel design of collection and consumer relationship. Moreover, apparel manufacturers profit is not depending on International apparel brands profit growth. International apparel brands profit growth largely depends on business geographical area, business strategy and market penetration.
There are few limitations of this research. First one is sample size of seven international apparel brands and five apparel manufacturers in Bangladesh where is around 5000 garments in Bangladesh(BGMEA2016).
The second limitation is finding annual or financial report of Bangladeshi apparel manufacturers. Though there are 5000 garments of Bangladesh but a very less number of manufacturing company publishes annual report publicly.
This research project concludes that there is no partial correlation between International Apparel Brands profit growth and Bangladeshi apparel manufacturers profit growth. This result suggests Bangladeshi apparel manufactures to concentrate on own business plan to find out competitors, market size, market potentiality and development of trade relation with international buyer. Inaddition, providing better working environment and decent wages can attract international apparel buyers to place order.
This study focuses on listed companies which are big companies. Future studies on small and medium size manufacturers or apparel retailer regarding profit growth impact and setting up profit margin will be beneficial for researchers, company owners or managers.

So you have done all the hard work; you have found the fish, got one to eat, now you’re hooked up and hoping to reel the fish in and land it. There is a lot that can go wrong in these moments and there is nothing worse than the feeling of having lost a fish, no matter the size.
Here I hope to give you a guide as to how to make sure you get any hooked fish to the boat and play it correctly. Here is how to reel in a fish.
One of the main culprits of losing fishing is poorly maintained tackle. Make sure that your line isn’t rotten, that it is packed tightly on your spool, and that all the knots you have tied are strong and tested. Then when you do hook a fish you know it’s not your setup that’s failed you.
Keep Your Rod Up
Once you have hooked a fish, always keep your rod at a 45-degree angle and make sure there is a bend due to the pressure. This will keep pressure on the fish to come to the surface and ensure your hook stays in.
Keep Your Line Tight
The first mistake that can happen is having any slack line during the fight. You need to make sure there is always pressure between you and the fish, this is what makes sure the hook stays in its mouth and doesn’t fall out. Some fish will swim towards you in a fight and this is a classic time when slack is created. If a fish does start coming towards you, you need to wind as fast as you can to pick up the slackline and stay tight.
Quite often a fish may break your line and this can be due to setting the drag too high. Make sure the drag on your reel is set to the breaking strain of your line. You can test this by pulling the line off your reel quickly once you have set the drag.
Once you have hooked a fish and are playing it nicely, do not adjust the drag unless you have to. The only times you may need to increase your drag during a fight is if the fish is going to spool you and you need to stop it or if the fish is running for the bottom and may get wrapped up in a snag.
Play Your Angles
When you’re fighting a fish it’s important to try and guide it away from anything that might cause it to break the line; like a coral head or a snag. While fighting it, use your rod and the pressure to pull from side to side to change the direction the fish swims in.
If you pull your rod to the right, the fish will usually run in the opposite direction, to the left and vice versa. If you see a fish swimming to a snag on the right of you, then change your angel and pull it from the right to make it change direction.
Landing A Fish
It is quite often in the final moments of a fight when all the hard work is done that a fish can come off. To start with, you need to make sure you have added strong enough leader material between your mainline and the hook. This is so that when you grab it with your hand, it won’t snap against the pull of the fish.
Once you think a fish is ready to be landed, slowly take the line in your hands and try to pull the fish’s head up. If you feel like the fish is still strong, then let go and continue fighting it with the rod and reel. If it’s definitely ready, pull it slowly towards you and either net it or hold it gently by the tail with the leader still in your other hand. Be careful while you do this as fish will make their last run or dash for cover at this moment.
Also, be careful not to hurt the fish; hold it gently and keep it in the water while you remove the hook, take a picture and release it. If you are fishing for food, then pull it out and kill it quickly to ensure there is no suffering.
That’s everything you need to know about how to reel in a fish on a spinning rod. It’s quite simple and the more you do it the better you’ll be. We have all lost fish for some reason or another, don’t get down, be happy about the experience and learn from it so you get him next time. | <urn:uuid:b2053c2b-483a-49eb-81ea-81c4a9a661af> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://theadventourist.com/how-to-reel-in-a-fish | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570765.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808031623-20220808061623-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.961893 | 918 | 1.78125 | 2 |
British Values Statement
At Broseley, we value and celebrate being part of Britain. This means that we celebrate traditions and customs in the course of the year; for example, Harvest Festival during the autumn term and Christmas celebrations. We also value and celebrate national events, e.g. The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
Further, children learn about being part of Britain from different perspectives. They learn where Britain is in relation to the rest of Europe and other countries in the world and about significant events in British history such as ‘The Great Fire of London’ and key historical figures.
Promoting British values at Broseley Primary School
The Department for Education’s five-part definition of British values is as follows:
- the rule of law
- individual liberty
- mutual respect
- tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
At Broseley Primary, pupils will encounter these principles throughout everyday school life.
Children at Broseley Primary have the opportunity for their voice to be heard through our school council which meets regularly to discuss issues raised within the school. They are elected by their class peers and are involved in making the school a better place to learn. The council is able to genuinely effect change within the school and gives our children a better understanding of democracy.
The Rule of Law
At Broseley Primary we promote the rule of law by:-
- Having a clear, consistent behaviour policy (SMART code) which is consistently applied throughout the school.
- Providing opportunities for children to reflect about positive and negative behaviour.
- Road Safety and awareness is taught throughout the curriculum
- Addressing issues of law during whole-school assemblies as and when appropriate.
- Encouraging visits from external agencies to talk to the children in school.
- Using celebration assemblies to acknowledge good behaviour as well as good academic work.
Alongside rules and laws, we promote freedom of choice and the right to respectfully express views and beliefs.
- Pupils are actively encouraged to make choices at our school, knowing that they are within a safe and supportive environment.
- Pupils are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms and are advised how to exercise these safely, for example through our e-Safety and PHSE lessons.
- Children are encouraged to understand responsibility in school in terms of behaviour and attitude to learning.
- Pupils are taught how to be safe and how to act safely. This is given an additional emphasis during anti-bullying week.
- We offer a range of lunchtime clubs which pupils have the freedom to choose from, based on their interests and needs.
Mutual respect is at the core of our school life. Children learn that their behaviours have an effect on their own rights and those of others. All members of the school community are taught to treat each other with respect.
At Broseley, children learn respect through:
- The promotion of positive relationships.
- The modelling of positive relationships by all adults working in school.
- All aspects of the curriculum, in particular the R.E and Personal, Social and Health Education curriculum (as successfully working in groups requires respect for each other).
- The work of the school council.
- The positive reward system developed to promote respect.
- Our celebration assemblies when all pupils show respect for the efforts of others.
- Participation in events organised to raise money for various charities which are chosen and voted on by the school council. E.g.Raising money for Zac, Red Nose Day for Comic Relief etc.
- Learning to live with their peers on educational residential visits.
Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
We put a large emphasis on promoting diversity as this is particularly relevant for the children at Broseley Primary School where we do not have a range of different faiths.
Tolerance is promoted in our school through:
- Our stated aims and values.
- Assemblies which are regularly planned to include stories and celebrations from a variety of faiths and cultures. E.g. Diwali.
- Our RE, PSHE and MFL curriculum.
- Educational visits to places of religious worship. Eg. Mosque in Telford
- The school’s equal opportunities policy.
- Members of different faiths or religions are invited to share their knowledge of their culture and beliefs with the children. (Eg. Leading figures in the Sikh community
- Using world events as opportunities to positively reinforce life and culture in other countries (football world cup, the Olympics, etc.).
We believe that tolerance is gained through knowledge and understanding. Through our curriculum and the routines of our daily school life, we strive to demonstrate tolerance and help children to become knowledgeable and understanding citizens.
As well as actively promoting British Values, the opposite applies; we would actively challenge pupils, staff or parents expressing opinions contrary to fundamental British Values, including ‘extremist’ views. | <urn:uuid:86bb2698-1dfb-456f-923e-3a20752fdde6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.broseleyprimary.co.uk/key-information/promoting-british-values/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570765.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808031623-20220808061623-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.954506 | 1,028 | 3.359375 | 3 |
Paganini was here to play his great work “Napoleon.” His violin glistened. As he broke every string. But one. He looked to his shocked audience and held up his violin.
“Paganini and one string!”
Paganini proceeded to wow them with the entire piece played on just one string.
His audience marveled. But no one left the theater and redesigned the violin to have one string. Everyone in the audience knew that one string was not dripping with talent. Nor was that one string possessed.
That one string was played. Played by a master. And so it sung.
There are master teachers. They can teach with just their voice. Or a stick. Or a book. Or a computer.
Hand them one string and they’ll make learning sing. These craftsman teachers — they teach. Anyplace. Anytime. With anything.
And yet, we worship the string.
Certainly some strings are better than others. They are stronger. More resonant. Better tools. That is great. I’m all for great tools.
But watch for masters. Audience, take note! That one app or tool is not dripping with talent. That one app is not possessed. That one tool was played. Played by a master. And so it unleashed the music of great learning.
Some people buy and sell strings. They talk about the music played on the string as if the string possesses the music. They hawk the masterpiece as if it lives in the string.
Some pitches are like this. Imagine a person walking on stage after Paganini finished his piece. He pushes Paganini off the stage and grabs his one-stringed violin. He holds it high above his head.
“Kneel to the string,” he says. “Pay homage to its greatness.”
The audience would give him a vacant stare.
That string was just a string. The master had left the stage.
There is a method of the master teacher. A way to play any teaching device that allows exquisite learning to happen.
As for me, I shall not worship the string.
I shall pay respect to the master teachers. For they are the great ones who orchestrate a symphony of learning.
Those who worship strings will find themselves in quiet company. Sitting around surrounded by quiet Chromebooks, iPads, and bills for downloaded apps. In boxes. Unused. Or broken. Misused. But not played for masterful learning.
The advancement of the art requires an honoring of the master craftsmen who know the trade.
Advancement of an art requires instruction of the novices– a transfer of the craft from one generation to the next.
When there are new instruments, we need new pedagogies. We need new masters.
Here’s to you great teachers. Those of us who play the tune of learning know where the masterpiece starts.
The masterpiece of learning starts with you — the teacher. Play on.
How can you have a better substitute teacher?
The answer: start with a great sub-manual or sub-tub.
To get you started, I'll send you a copy of the table of contents for my substitute teacher manual. | <urn:uuid:f47d7445-1a0f-46cb-9bb5-d0ee92e4b60a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.coolcatteacher.com/masterpiece-teaching/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.964281 | 691 | 2.3125 | 2 |
U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan visits, highlights President Obama’s Preschool for All proposal
Wilmington, DE – Governor Jack Markell and Lt. Governor Matt Denn presented a long-term, strategic plan today to strengthen and sustain Delaware’s early childhood system. Developed by the Delaware Early Childhood Council, the plan focuses on whole-child development, family engagement and community collaboration to reach milestones and meet established goals over the next five years.
“One of the most important investments we can make is in our state’s youngest children,” said Governor Markell. “Our vision is to create the nation’s finest early childhood system where quality programs prepare all of our children for success in a competitive, global economy. Early childhood development is fundamental not only to later educational success but virtually all facets of a child’s health, prosperity and quality of life. Studies show: children receiving quality early care and education are more likely to be successful in school, become better citizens, earn greater wages, contribute more to their communities and require government support. Education is not only our moral obligation – our state’s economic future depends on it.”
The plan includes four strategic goals:
1. A Healthy Start for All Children: create an environment where Delaware children become the healthiest in the nation– physically, emotionally, and behaviorally.
2. High-Quality Early Childhood Programs and Professionals: provide all Delaware children with access to high-quality early childhood programs and professionals.
3. An Aligned and Effective Early Learning System, Birth Through Third Grade: create a system that enables all children to arrive at school ready and eager to succeed and prepares K-12 schools to further enrich their early learning.
4. Sustainable System Improvement: develop and sustain policies, programs and partnerships that address the comprehensive developmental needs of all children.
“There is work going on in classrooms all over this state that is not only exciting, but also critically important,” said Lt. Governor Denn. “We are creating a comprehensive early childhood system that serves all children and families in our state and, in doing so, Delaware has the opportunity to change the future in a fundamental and enduring way – to impact the lives of children and their families for generations to come.”
Accompanying the four strategic goals are strategies and objectives for implementation. They include: strengthening young child developmental screening and access to health services; ramping up participation in Delaware Stars, the state’s quality rating and improvement system for early childhood providers; offering professional development and wage enhancements for early childhood teaching professionals; and building bridges between the early childhood system and the K-12 system using cross sector professional development and the Delaware Early Learner Survey at Kindergarten entry.
“This strategic plan charts a clear path for us to follow,” said Jennifer Ranji, Secretary of the Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families. “This work has intensified in focus and momentum in recent years and this plan will further accelerate that activity. If we help children succeed when they’re young, we can make the hurdles they face more surmountable and their full potential achievable. We owe them our best efforts.”
“This initiative is about community ownership,” added Dan Rich, Chairman of the Delaware Early Childhood Council. “Mobilization of partnerships across all sectors is the key to sustainability. This strategic plan was developed over the last year by the Delaware Early Childhood Council with the participation of hundreds of stakeholders across the state. The Interagency Resources Management Committee (IRMC) with the enthusiastic support of all three relevant Cabinet Secretaries – Children’s Department Secretary Jennifer Ranji, Education Secretary Mark Murphy and Health and Social Services Secretary Rita Landgraf then recommended the plan to the Governor. We are grateful for the participation of our partners and their commitment to our implementation efforts going forward.”
Today’s unveiling occurred immediately following a visit by U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan, who toured St. Michael’s School and Nursery to observe its early learning program. He also joined the Governor, Lt. Governor and Delaware’s Congressional delegation to highlight President Obama’s Preschool for All proposal to expand access to high quality preschool for all children. The President’s 2014 budget proposes $75 billion over 10 years to create new partnerships with states to provide high-quality preschool for all four-year olds. Funding would be provided to states and distributed to local school districts, or local school districts in partnership with other early learning providers, to offer high-quality preschool programs. An additional $750 million would provide competitive grants to states to strengthen their early learning systems.
“Under the leadership of Governor Markell, his education team and many others across the state, Delaware is setting a high bar for educational achievement and better outcomes,” said U.S. Sen. Tom Carper. “Focusing on early education is fundamental to student success and building a first-class workforce that is ready to take on the challenges of the 21st century.”
“In child after child, we’ve seen proof that early education results in kids who are better prepared for the classroom and ultimately more successful in school and in life,” U.S. Sen. Chris Coons said. “Developing and implementing a long-term strategic plan shows real leadership and commitment to investing in our kids and ensuring they have every opportunity to succeed. When we invest in our kids, we invest in our own future.”
Building a strong foundation for Delaware’s education system is a top priority for this administration. In 2011, with the support of the General Assembly, the State invested $22M in early childhood education. Later that year the state won an additional $50M in the federal Early Learning Challenge grant competition that will allow Delaware to significantly increase the number of early childhood programs participating and attaining the highest levels of quality in Delaware Stars – the state’s quality rating and improvement system for early childcare and education programs. Those funds will also support efforts to grow the percentage of low-income children in child care enrolled in quality-rated early learning programs. In addition, an annual investment of $1.9 million will allow 10,000 Delaware students to participate in Delaware’s World Language Immersion Program over the next decade. Students enrolled in the program spend half their school day learning science, social studies and math in either Mandarin Chinese or Spanish.

The scourge of robocalls has reached an all-time high, with 47.8 billion such calls made in 2018, a 56% increase from the previous year. It is the number one complaint fielded by the FCC at more than 200,000 consumer reports per year. It means that every adult in America receives about 150 robocalls per year.
But there are an increasing number of strategies and tips to help decrease the amount of calls, as well as a push from the FCC and measures by the House of Representatives and the Senate to combat scammers.
1. Don’t answer, and hang up
The most important thing consumers can do is just not answer the phone for strange or unknown numbers. Or if you do, hang up before engaging with the spammer. By interacting with the robocall, it lets the perpetrators know the number is real and can be targeted. In addition, never press a button to indicate you want to stop receiving calls — it’s another robocall trick.
2. Utilize call blocking services
Almost all cell phone providers now offer security features that can detect fraudulent numbers and warn you about spam and nuisance calls. Major providers offer these services for free and have additional premium security, from $2.99 to $3.99 per month, that can give accurate caller information and reverse look-up numbers.
3. Use your phone’s settings
Both Android and Apple phones contain settings that allow users to manually block phone numbers and label certain numbers as spam. Click on the Recent Calls log in the phone app and check the settings to add numbers to the blocked list.
4. Use apps like Robokiller
Third-party apps are another tool to block robocalls. Many were designed through a program run by the FTC, although the apps do require access to your contacts list. Robokiller promises a 90% reduction in spam calls and charges $1 per month, while Nomorobo is free for VoiP landlines and $1.99 a month for cell phones. Other apps include Hiya, Truecaller, and YouMail, and most include a free trial period of 7-14 days.
5. Verify official numbers
If a government employee or company representative claims to be contacting you for business purposes, hang up and call a verified number. Check the phone book, websites, account statements and other places for phone numbers, and remember that you will likely get a letter in the mail before receiving a phone call, especially from a government entity.
6. Don’t give out any information
There’s a chance you might answer a call and interact with a real person if your caller ID identifies a local number. Spoofing is a tactic used by spammers to deliberately falsify the number that shows up on your screen and make it appear similar to your own, but safeguarding any and all personal information, including account numbers, names, addresses, and passwords, from the operators is the most valuable strategy when speaking in person.
7. Add your cell number to the Do Not Call list
The National Do Not Call Registry is active and available for landlines and cell phones, but isn’t as effective as it once was. Register your number online and report robocalls to the FTC, which has resolved 121 cases against telemarketers and even collected $280 million in a case against DISH Network for Do Not Call violations.
8. Set a new password for your voicemail
Industrious hackers can use spoofing technology to gain access to your voicemail and gather valuable information. The FCC advises that users change or reset passwords for their voicemail service to prevent hacks. Both Android and iPhone offer step-by-step instructions on setting up or changing a voicemail account.
9. Report false calls and texts
Despite the prevalence of robocalls, there are a number of ways to fight back against illegal operators. Go to fcc.gov/complaint, the Consumer Complaint Center, and click the Phone link to file a formal complaint.
If your number is on the Do Not Call Registry, go to ftccomplaintassistant.gov if telemarketers have ignored the list.
IRS scams can be reported to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at www.tigta.gov or by calling 1-800-366-4484.
And immediately report spam texts, for free, by forwarding the number to 7726 (SPAM) and allowing the carrier to investigate the origins of the call.
10. Be extra vigilant about coronavirus scams
The global pandemic has led to a new class of scam surrounding relief checks. The Federal Trade Commission stresses that the IRS won’t call, email or text you with information about your stimulus payment. You don’t have to front any money to get your stimulus. And if someone calls and says you were paid too much and need to send some back, hang up immediately. Report coronavirus-related scams to the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint. | <urn:uuid:cf013ee4-a1ed-4e69-9007-cc1bdc1a15d9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.hellaproperty.com/blog/technology/reduce-spam-robocalls/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.918369 | 1,040 | 2.234375 | 2 |
On Friday 22 May, a pilot plant for the hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of biomass was inaugurated in Foulum. The plant will produce biofuel which can be mixed with or even replace conventional fuels and chemicals.
The new facility is part of BioBase, a major biorefining and bio-based production initiative which is currently being carried out at Aarhus University.
On Friday 22 May, a new research centre opened at Aarhus University and Aarhus University Hospital. The International Diabetic Neuropathy Consortium (INDC) will conduct research into how to prevent neuritis caused by diabetes, also known as diabetic neuropathy.
In Denmark, 320,000 people suffer from diabetes, while a further 30,000 new patients are diagnosed with diabetes each year. Almost half of all diabetics are affected by neuritis, which in the worst cases can result in amputation.
Allan Flyvbjerg, dean of Health, is inviting employees to contribute their thoughts on on what concrete benefits might result from a merger between the School for Dental Assistants, Hygienists and Clinical Technicians (SKT) and the Department of Dentistry, especially in relation to improving the teaching in the dentistry teams and common degree programme elements.
The consultation period runs until 9 June, and the consultation responses – together with the proposal – will be presented to the Aarhus University Board on 17 June 2015 for consideration.
On Thursday 28 May, Aarhus University is awarding one of Denmark’s oldest and most prestigious awards: The Rigmor and Carl Holst-Knudsen Award for Scientific Research. The prize of DKK 100,000 will be awarded to two researchers who have distinguished themselves at the very highest level. On the same occasion, the Aarhus University Research Foundation will be awarding five PhD prizes. The event will be held in the Main Hall from 11.00 to 13.30, and seats are still available.
For the second year running, Aarhus University is co-organising Internet Week Denmark on 1-5 June. The event is a professional festival which celebrates the internet and the digital economy. The idea behind Internet Week Denmark comes from Smart Aarhus, which is a partnership between the City of Aarhus and a range of institutions and companies – including Aarhus University. The university supports the event by making its expertise available.
Until the end of 2018, the Department of Law at Aarhus BSS will hold the chairmanship of the UNCRC Policy Centre ‘Hope for Children’. The university received the good news from Joseph Varughese, director general of the centre. The centre aims to protect and advocate the rights of children, for example through the work of leading researchers in the field, dissemination of their research and collaboration with children’s organisations around the world.
The new CWTS Leiden Ranking has just been published. The ranking list is based exclusively on analyses of the universities’ academic publications. This year’s results show that Aarhus University’s academic production has been cited 22 per cent more than the world average. This results in a ranking as no. 81 among the 154 largest universities in the world.
The huge volumes of data on the Leiden Ranking website can be organised according to several parameters which users can select themselves. For example, it can be seen that 59 per cent of the registered articles from Aarhus University are published in collaboration with foreign research institutions.
The top places in the ranking list are dominated by American universities. Of the top 25, nineteen institutions are American, and five are European (Cambridge, Oxford, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, ETH Zurich and EPFL Lausanne). The Israeli Weizmann Institute of Science is also in the top 25. The ranking list covers the 750 largest universities worldwide measured in terms of their publication output.

And yet, he was probably the very first Facebook employee (cofounders aside) to become a millionaire thanks to the hot startup. We don't mean a paper millionaire. We mean the kind with lots of cash in his bank account.
Bloomberg BusinessWeek's Brad Stone reports that Thompson, who, after he left Facebook wanted to sell his shares but found it very hard to do, is one of the few people responsible for getting the whole secondary market phenomenon going.
Who would buy his shares? How could any outsider value a small, private company with hardly any revenue?
One banker introduced Thompson to a New York firm called Restricted Stock Partners, which in mid-2007 had a small office near Battery Park with two windows that looked onto a brick wall. The firm specialized in facilitating trades of illiquid securities, such as assets of bankrupt companies and preferred shares in public companies whose holders have special rights. Moving Facebook stock would be an altogether different kind of transaction, but the tiny firm had been looking for a chance to break into the market for private-company stock.
The resulting experiment stretched out several months, primarily because prospective buyers couldn't come to terms with Thompson on a price. Finally, using Microsoft's (MSFT) $240 million investment in Facebook in October 2007 as a guidepost, a hedge fund purchased the shares at a price that valued the fledgling social network at $7.5 billion. The trade netted Thompson and his partner millions of dollars.
That sale—among the very first of its kind—sent shock waves through the insular world of Facebook employees and investors. Facebook shareholders could get rich regardless of the company's plans for an initial public offering. Soon other former Facebookers were buzzing about the opportunity, and investors and employees at other pre-IPO firms started thinking about cashing out their holdings as well. | <urn:uuid:80c8ed4f-876c-40e3-83ba-2b3b6dc778de> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.businessinsider.com/meet-facebooks-first-employee-turned-millionaire-2011-4?op=1 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.976985 | 372 | 1.5625 | 2 |
This Pre-screener is made up of 104 questions of which you will be given two possible answers. You must select the best possible answer and go to the next question. After you have gone to the next question you will not be able to change your answer. At the end of the pre-screenere you will be able to see how well you did in each of the thirteen dimensions.
This pre-screener predicts which candidates will succeed as school principals serving diverse children and youth in urban poverty in major urban school districts. It analyzes respondents’ answers to thirteen dimensions of urban school administration. These dimensions were identified in our studies of star urban principals who led effective schools in major urban districts or who turned failing schools into effective ones.
The items represent star administrators’ behaviors and predispositions to act. These actions reflect an ideology regarding the respondents’ beliefs about the nature of effective schooling for diverse children and youth in urban poverty and the nature of school leadership necessary to create such schools.
This pre-screener may be used with experienced individuals who are currently principals or with neophytes who are aspiring principals. It is applicable to individuals who have completed state certification requirements to become principals, or individuals from other careers without formal training in teaching or school administration who are seeking to pursue an alternative route to the principalship.
Those typically using this pre-screener are 1) urban school districts seeking to hire new principals, 2) urban school districts seeking to identify effective leaders for failing schools that serve diverse children and youth in poverty and 3) urban school districts seeking to select individuals for training programs to become principals. Researchers and doctoral students use the screener as a pre and post test in studies assessing the power of various training programs and other treatments intended to change or develop urban administrators.
Respondents’ replies are analyzed in terms of the thirteen functions necessary for effective leadership in urban schools. Respondents’ answers are compared to those of outstanding urban school principals. The respondent’s profile provides ratings of High, Acceptable and Low on each function.

On the morning of Sunday, Sept. 30, Alexander & Baldwin employees pulled on gloves, grabbed sifters and buckets, and set to work on Kalama Beach in Kailua. Seniors from two local high schools, Kailua High and Kalaheo High, joined in the beach cleanup efforts and earned grant support for their respective Project Grads from A&B’s Kokua Giving program.
This event was held in partnership with Kailua Beach Adventures and Kailua artist Leanna Wolff. Participants were encouraged to bring in old sunscreen containing reef-toxic chemicals such as oxybenzone and octinoxate, and swap them for reef-safe alternatives provided by Raw Elements.
A&B employees are all smiles at the beach clean-up! Many A&B employees brought their entire families out to help clean the beach.
Leanna Wolff, who A&B commissioned to create a painting for the Lau Hala Shops lobby, often incorporates beach microplastic into her artwork. The Lau Hala Shops painting will include several plastic pieces that A&B employees have collected from this Kalama Beach clean-up. This makes the painting even more special, as the piece will include some elements contributed by the heart and soul of A&B – our people.
There was an excellent turnout for the beach clean-up, with thirty employees bringing 35 friends and family members to help out. With the addition of the high school students and some members of the community, more than 100 people were in attendance!
It was astounding and sobering to see how much microplastic was hidden in the beach. The volunteers used sifters to strain the sand and pick out plastic and debris. Most of the plastic pieces were blue, green, or white, which Leanna explained is due to the fact that many marine animals, unfortunately, mistake the red or pink microplastic as shrimps and ingest them. The goal was to remove as much plastic as possible so it did not end up back in our ocean.
At the end of the beach clean-up, the volunteers enjoyed a delicious bento donated by A&B and their tenant Fatboy’s Kailua. In total, the volunteers collected over 160 pounds of plastic and waste. The plastic will be sent to Parley for the Oceans, a company that recycles ocean plastic into products for companies such as Method Home and Adidas. | <urn:uuid:0559a050-431e-41b6-97bb-a9ed0f520194> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://alexanderbaldwin.com/alexander-baldwin-host-kalama-beach-clean-up/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.969851 | 500 | 1.851563 | 2 |

Welcome to the Autistic Village
Welcome to the Autistic Village – a group of blogs that has a village of Autistics contributing from all around the world and from all communities.
This website is designed to introduce and showcase Autistic culture, community and experience.
We may see, do and experience things differently from the majority, and we may be marginalised and misunderstood – but we are a valid neurotype. We deserve to be understood, accepted and respected like every other human being.
Whether you are autistic yourself, seeking to learn more about your neurology; a parent looking to learn more about your child; someone who supports Autistics and recognise that text books do not contain the full (or accurate) story; or just a seeker of new knowledge…
Welcome to our Village.
Our Current Blogs
Aut Thoughts – every Tuesday
This blog presents thoughts on the autistic experience from a variety of sources on a variety of topics from how to listen to us, from mental well-being to being a marginalised member of an already marginalised community. Rather than speaking for others, this blog provides a platform for Autistics to communicate for themselves.
If you are autistic (including self-diagnosed), have something you want to say and wish to contribute to this blog, please email firstname.lastname@example.org with Aut Thoughts Post in the Subject line.
Alternative Autistic Dictionary – every Wednesday
Blog by The Wizard of Aut and friends
The Alternative Autistic Dictionary was started by the Wizard of Aut – their musings about various aspects of autistic experiencing in alphabetical order. That said, those hoping for the letters K, Q, X, Y and Z may be disappointed. Team member Aiden Tsen also contributes to this.
Inside Aut – every Thursday
Blog by Nanny Aut
A look inside the Autistic neurology from the inside out, explaining how our brains work from the Autistic side.
Exploring such topics as processing, meltdowns, sensory needs etc, this blog looks at WHY we do what we do. WHY our needs and reactions are not disorders to be fixed but natural responses to our neurological design. HOW to understand and meet these needs to effectively work with our brains and not against them.
These explanations have been developed from personal experience and the collation of other autistic experiences over several years. Enhanced by knowledge gained and expanded through having psychology and autistic neurology as SPINS (Special Interests).
Artistic Autistics – every Friday and/or Saturday
There is an old, tired (and frankly annoying) myth that Autistics are not creative. This is not true and this blog showcases that, bringing you Autistics from all areas of artistic expression – painting, writing, design, model making, body art etc. etc. etc. If an autistic created it, it has a place in this blog.
We are actively seeking contributors to this blog. If you are autistic (including self-diagnosed) and would like to showcase your creative work, in whatever medium, please email us at email@example.com with Artistic Autistic Posts in the Subject box.
As we grow and develop we will be adding new blogs to this page. The next three in the pipeline are:
SPIN City: SPIN is short for special interest and we are reclaiming the name. Autistics are passionate about so many things and our knowledge and undertanding in our areas of focus can surpass doctorate levels. We are seeking autistic (including self-diagnosed) contributors who want to tell others about what they love and why they love it. If you would like to do a post about your SPIN please email us at firstname.lastname@example.org with SPIN in the Subject box.
Life Hacks – Autistic Style: Most of us can do anything NTs do, only we may need to do it differently to do it well. Particularly when it comes to finding workarounds for stumbling blocks like poor executive function. We are seeking autistic (including self-diagnosed) contributors to offer their life hacks – what has worked for them and why. It doesn’t need to be a full post, we will collate contributions around a particular topic. If you have a life hack (or many) that you would like to share with this community please email us at email@example.com.
Ask Autie – One of the most challenging things for a lot of us is navigating relationships – from casual office acquaintances to life partners. If you have a relationship question you would like answered, or you would like to be on the Advice Panel, please email firstname.lastname@example.org. Contributors and advisors of all neurologies are welcome for this blog. Relationships are built through understanding and we need all voices on this one.

[vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][vc_column_text]By: Dr. Fiona Lovely
What if I told you that there was a way to predict whether you might be more likely to have symptoms when you hit your head than the person sitting next to you? It’s true. If we were to line up 10 people at random and ask them a few questions, it would be simple to determine who was more likely to have a concussion. Intrigued? Read on….
First predictor of traumatic brain injury or tbi (concussion) makes a great deal of sense:
- Playing recreational sports. If you or your child are going to engage in contact sports, you or your child will have a concussion at some point. And you certainly will have a higher chance of having a concussion than someone who doesn’t play contact sports. Make the decision to play with full understanding of the risks and a plan for how you will manage injury when it does happen.
- Inflammation. This is a very common problem fed by the human condition. Stress. Poor nutrition - the typical sugary, high carb, processed food diet is a common cause for inflammation. Toxic relationships. Money concerns. Work you dislike. Health challenges like diabetes, high blood pressure, food allergies (many of these are caused by inflammation.)
These things all fuel inflammation in the body. Inflammation gives rise to neurons which are excitable. This overstimulation of the brain tissues makes you far more likely to have symptoms if you bump your head!
- Gender. It is well documented that girls playing the same sports as boys their age are more likely to have a concussion that produces symptoms. The female body is diverse anatomically and the muscles of the neck are less protective in the case of head injury than those of their male counterparts. Additionally, a head injury sustained during the second half of the menstrual cycle, can cause a crash of high progesterone levels which can make symptoms of a concussion feel much, much worse. Females are also prone to physical damage to the pituitary gland during a tbi event causing hormonal imbalances which can last decades.
- Brain function imbalance. This can be from birth as the birth process is meant to toggle a number of primitive reflexes that are necessary for our early development. With the rise of Csection births, this critical process can get missed. When the brain develops without these switches activated, imbalances can occur. Previous concussions, chemical exposures, poor nutrition, and other things can cause a functional brain imbalance which can make you more likely to suffer a concussion. Your Chiropractic Neurologist can help correct these imbalances of the nerve system.
Knowledge is power. If you or your child are going to play contact sports, please be real about the risks. Look at the list above and see what you can do to moderate the risk by making some diet and lifestyle changes. Get a brain assessment before you begin play to correct the functional concerns (lowering your risk for concussion) and to have a personalized baseline test that you can return to yearly to keep your brain in tip top health!

The Kronprinzenpalais (English: Crown Prince’s Palace) is a former Royal Prussian residence on Unter den Linden boulevard in the historic centre of Berlin. It was built in 1663 and renovated in 1857 according to plans by Heinrich Strack in Neoclassical style. From 1919 to 1937, it was home to the modern art collection of the National Gallery. Damaged during the Allied bombing in World War II, the Kronprinzenpalais was rebuilt from 1968 to 1970 by Richard Paulick as part of the Forum Fridericianum. In 1990, the German Reunification Treaty was signed in the listed building. Since then, it has been used for events and exhibitions.
After the “Nazis” came to power in 1933, there was an initial period of tolerance of modern art, but then Hitler ordered the galleries to be “cleansed” of it, in particular the Kronprinzenpalais. In May 1936, works from the Ismar Littmann collection of Expressionist art which had been confiscated by the Gestapo from a Berlin auction house were burnt in the furnace. Eberhard Hanfstaengl, the then director of the National Gallery, was ordered to set aside only a few “historically valuable” works and saved five paintings and ten drawings. The Expressionist gallery was closed in October 1936, after the Berlin Olympics had ended, as a “hotbed of cultural Bolshevism“.
In the 1937 “Nazi” operation against Entartete Kunst (degenerate art), the National Gallery lost a total of 435 works. The Kronprinzenpalais contributed far more works than any other institution to the exhibition by that name which opened in Munich on 19 July. The majority of the Expressionist works were officially labelled Verfallskunst (art of decay) the same month. National Gallery Director Justi had been forced out in the 1933 purge of ideologically suspect academics and civil servants; his successor, Alois Schardt, was forced to resign after Bernhard Rust, the “Nazi” Minister of Education for Prussia, who had responsibility for museums, visited the modern art gallery; he was in turn succeeded by Hanfstaengl, who was also forced to resign after refusing to meet with Adolf Ziegler and his commission charged with identifying and removing the “degenerate” artworks. The commission made two “cleansing” visits to the Kronprinzenpalais: on 7 July before the exhibition opened and again in August. Some members of the commission were at first reluctant to purge the works of August Macke and Franz Marc, both of whom had died fighting in the First World War; they were ultimately also removed, but works by Marc including Tower of Blue Horses were removed from the Entartete Kunst exhibition before it moved from Munich to Berlin. The National Gallery was compensated RM 150,000 for The Garden of Daubigny by Van Gogh and RM 15,000 for four paintings by Paul Signac and Edvard Munch by Göring, who took a group of 13 modern paintings to offer them privately for sale through an art dealer he knew, and roughly one sixth of its total loss of over RM 1 million after the official auctions of “degenerate art” in Switzerland.
Later in 1937, the building became the seat of the Prussian Academy of Arts, whose building in Pariser Platz had been requisitioned by Albert Speer‘s office. The Director of the Schauspielhaus theatre in the Gendarmenmarkt, Gustaf Gründgens, also temporarily had his office in the building.
In March 1945, the Kronprinzenpalais was gutted in an Allied bomb attack. Until 1958, a ballet school used a remaining rear section, but the site was entirely cleared in 1961.

Multicultural Theory, Practice, and Pedagogy in South Korea
South Korea has witnessed a major demographic shift as more children of immigrants are entering the schools. Over the course of four months, I visited six elementary schools, graduate schools of education, and conducted interviews with teachers, principals, and district administrators to gain an understanding how multicultural theory, policy and practice were being implemented. I used of four heuristic devices to analyze the implementation of multicultural policy and curriculum at the elementary school level: 1) Serving the needs of children of immigrants, 2) Celebrating cultural differences, 3) Creating multicultural schools, and 4) Striving for a socially just society. The findings indicate that the current policy and practice has led to a deficit thinking model towards children of immigrants and therefore teachers and administrators need critical multicultural theory and praxis based upon a social justice platform. I do not want to be too critical of multicultural education in South Korea as I keep in mind issues of policy transfer, borrowing and lending; however, I believe that the research can have a positive impact upon multicultural education in Korea as well as in other countries that are also witnessing a rapid rise in immigrants and ethnic minorities.

No change in U.P. brook trout regs
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Division announced on Thursday that it is recommending the brook trout limit remain at five fish per day.
The recommendation follows a lengthy process where the Fisheries Division conducted online surveys and met with the public, including an April meeting on the campus of Lake Superior State University, to gather public opinion on liberalizing the existing regulations.
At the April session, Unit Manager Dave Borgenson of the Michigan DNR explained that the less-restrictive proposal — to return the limit to 10 brook trout — had been brought at the request of Upper Peninsula anglers.
“Brook trout have a really high natural mortality rate,” said Borgenson, addressing the crowd with estimates revealing that up to 80 percent of the fish annually perish regardless of fishing activity.
While there was a contingent of Upper Peninsula anglers who seemingly wanted to go back to days where the daily harvest would be capped at 10 brook trout, the DNR did not find wide spread support for the measure in their public meeting and online surveys.
The DNR reports the brook trout survey had the highest response rate the Fisheries Division had ever seen with more than 1,400 participants.
Citing the mixed results of the survey and additional feedback gathered through letters, the public meetings and other methods, the Fisheries Division is recommending the limit remain at five fish per day for the following reasons:
• There are no biological benefits and some slight biological risks with raising the daily possession limit;
• Based on the results of the public survey and historic creel data, it appears raising the daily possession limit would benefit a relatively small percentage of the angling population; and• Nearly twice as many anglers opposed the possession limit increase compared to those who supported the change.
The Fisheries Division concludes: “Given that there is no biological need to increase the daily possession limit, it is not prudent to establish a regulation that does not have a significant margin of support from the angling public.”
Fisheries Division personnel will formally deliver the recommendation to the Natural Resources Commission on Thursday, Sept. 13.
The Natural Resources Commission is expected to announce its decision on Oct. 11. | <urn:uuid:4a83c2f9-0e13-4d01-8f32-8b057f173208> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.sooeveningnews.com/story/news/2012/08/10/no-change-in-u-p/62980312007/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.944629 | 455 | 2.296875 | 2 |
Energy coaching will be done by Northern Colorado Clean Cities, Denver Metro Clean Cities, Garfield Clean Energy and Four Corners Office for Resource Efficiency. The pilot project is being led by CLEER: Clean Energy Economy for the Region, a Carbondale nonprofit with expertise in alternative fuel vehicle technology, energy coaching and community engagement.
The nine counties were selected following a two-month survey of 21 cities and counties in western Colorado and along the Front Range. “We chose the nine counties after finding a good match between three key aspects: fleet vehicle needs, auto dealer interest in alternative fuels, and viability of developing public refueling facilities,” said Mike Ogburn, energy engineer for CLEER.
In the coming weeks, energy coaches will work with businesses and local governments in the nine counties to analyze their fleets, including miles driven and age, vehicle type and purpose, to determine the optimal alternative fuel to focus on.

March 13th, 2017
This week in my Facebook community, The Clear Skin Collective, we’ve been talking about healthy eating and a very popular myth I come across ALL the time is that diet has no impact on skin.
Seriously there’s nothing that irks me more than hearing this! The fact that so many dermatologists continue to dismiss the role of diet when it comes to healthy skin is completely BONKERS!
Back in the 1960’s and 70’s two popular (but highly flawed) research studies indicated no link between diet and acne. These studies were not only poorly designed, but also had very small sample sizes. Unfortunately, these studies continue to influence the medical world today even though there has been a lot of research since then that shows there truly is a diet-skin connection.
Throughout my struggles with acne, I saw multiple dermatologists and not a single one ever questioned my diet. I was prescribed various medicated creams and antibiotics, but using an outside-in approach to treat an internal issue will never solve the problem. Using good skincare products is important, but they will never replace the power of a healthy diet.
Dietary skin triggers can be different for different people, but the biggest beauty-busting culprits I see in my practice are DAIRY, SUGAR and GLUTEN! Personally, I found that cutting out dairy products made the biggest difference in my skin.
Cutting out favourite foods can be challenging, so let’s focus on all the delicious beauty-boosting foods you CAN eat! There are SO many, but here are 5 of my personal favourites that are both delicious and amazing for the health of your skin.
- Leafy Greens
- Wild Salmon
- Nuts & Seeds
One simple way that I love to incorporate more beauty-boosting foods into my diet is through smoothies! If you haven’t learned about it yet, check out my “Blend, Sip & Glow” guide for 5 delicious smoothie recipes to get you started.
Beyond smoothies, here are a few more beauty-boosting snack ideas to nibble on throughout the day.
1. Apple with pumpkin seeds
2. Green smoothie
3. Avocado on whole grain toast
4. Chia pudding with berries
5. Home made trail mix (brazil nuts, almonds, cacao nibs, coconut flakes)
6. Matcha latte (with almond milk)
7. Roasted sweet potato wedges sprinkled with cinnamon
8. Banana with almond butter
9. Raw veggies with hummus
10. Strawberries dipped in dark chocolate (>70% cacao content)
What other beauty-boosting foods have you tried? I’d love to hear your story!
Cheers to your radiance! | <urn:uuid:f6be57b0-0fc5-4597-9757-6ad8e9c88409> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://orlywachter.com/glowing-skin-starts-in-the-kitchen/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.935441 | 597 | 1.710938 | 2 |

As I noted in my post on August 10, I proposed the Librarian Portrayal Test (LPT), as I’m calling it now. If anyone has a better name for it, I’m willing to consider that. The name of it isn’t set in stone. Again, here’s the criteria for the test, which focuses on portrayal of librarians in pop culture:
- The animated series, anime, comic, film, or other pop culture media, has a character that is clearly a librarian, whether they work in a public library, corporate library, have a personal library, or some other circumstance where they work in a library.
- The character is not only, or primarily, defined by their role as a librarian.
- The librarian has to integral to the plot to such an extent that their removal from the story of a said episode, or episodes, would significantly impact the plot. As such, the librarian cannot just be there for laughs, be a foil, shush patrons, or otherwise fall into existing stereotypes, but should matter in and of themselves.
I know that fulfilling all of these criteria for pop cultural depictions won’t be easy, but some characters do meet all these criteria, but others, despite the fact they may be positive depictions of librarians, as I’ll explain in this post. This test is not a be-all-end-all either. Even if a librarian only appears in one episode of a series and it is a good depiction of a librarian, I’ll still write about it, even if it doesn’t fall under this criteria. I see this test as just one more tool that I can use to analyze representation of librarians in pop culture. And it isn’t a perfect test either, as I’m totally willing to revise and change it in the future as is necessary. What is above is not set in stone.
Now, let me go through librarians who are portrayed in popular culture that I’ve written on this blog up to this point. For one, there are unnamed librarians in Futurama, Steven Universe, Sofia the First, Diamond Dive, and Cardcaptor Sakura. The same can be said about the elderly librarian who is arrested by the authorities in the first episode of Zevo-3, and librarians in episodes of The Simpsons, the male librarian in an episode of The Owl House. There are many librarians who are shown as strict and/or as shushers. This is evidently clearly from the shushers in episodes of Big City Greens, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Kick Buttowski, We Bare Bears, and Boyfriends, along with strict librarians, who often shushed as well. The latter includes librarians in animated series ranging from Rugrats to Martin Mystery, Teen Titans Go! to Carl Squared. The same could be said for curmudgeon librarians in episodes of two other animated series: DC Super Hero Girls and Mysticons. All of these librarians would clearly fail the LPT, as would the librarian in the Steven Universe comic which I wrote about on August 17.
Some librarians are what I’d call one-note wonders in the sense that they do little outside their jobs as librarians or only in one episode, like the librarian in Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, Mr. Scott in Tamberlane, or Mrs. Higgins in Sofia the First. Both are well-meaning, but only appear in the library and nowhere else. This can even be the case for librarians like Violet Stanhope or the new librarian supervisor Ms. Herrera in Archie’s Weird Mysteries. They are positive portrayals of librarians, for sure, but neither is shown outside the library, although for Violet, she gets a bit of a pass, since she is a ghost after all. You could say the same about the British wrestler-librarian in Totally Spies, as although I like her character in some respects, her role beyond being a librarian isn’t that well explored, the unnamed librarian who appears in a Steven Universe comic, or the librarian who helps Candace Flynn in an episode of Phineas and Ferb, “The Doonkelberry Imperative.” At the same time, librarians are only background characters in episodes of various series, including Revolutionary Girl Utena, Little Witch Academia, and Stretch Armstrong and the Flex Fighters. Again, sadly, all these characters can’t fully fulfill all the aspects of the LPT.
More specifically, the spinister librarian in the Futurama episode “The Day the Earth Stood Stupid,” is there literally for laughs, being so “dumb” that she can’t even shelve a book correctly in the city’s library. Furthermore, the unnamed librarian of the Buddy Buddwick Library in Steven Universe episode “Buddy’s Book,” shushes the protagonists, Steven and Connie, not once…but twice! Additionally, there is a character named “The Librarian” in She-Ra: Princess of Power episode, “Three Courageous Hearts,” who helps the protagonists, but he is White, and male, fulfilling so many stereotypes often associated with librarians, especially in animation. Unfortunately, even the character played by Emilio Estevez, Stuart Goodson, in the film The Public, does not succeed at fulfilling this test, as he is not shown much beyond being…a librarian, albeit an atypical one. Even so, the film is definitely worth seeing. These are, again, more portrayals which do not fulfill all the aspects of the LPT, as explained earlier.
There are some characters which go past stereotypes and fulfill the LPT. Some arguably do this, like Lydia Lovely in Horrid Henry or even, to some extent, Turtle Princess in Adventure Time. In the latter case, she undoubtedly shushes the protagonists, but she is more than just a librarian, having a major role in two episodes, and a minor role in 19 episodes, according to her fandom page. The latter describes her as “a princess who is also the head of a library in the Land of Ooo. She is considered a registered princess.” More significantly is Doctor Oldham in Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, George and Lance in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, and the protagonist of Ascendance of A Bookworm, Myne, who is becoming a librarian! In the case of Oldham, he is much more than a librarian, as he is a doctor, a sage, and such. He is a bit like Jocasta Nu in Star Wars, the Jedi Archivist, but does not believe he has all the information there is, unlike her. George and Lance, on the other hand, are the fathers of one of the protagonists, Bow, and are historical researchers, historians to be exact, clearly having a life outside of curating their library. As for Myne, she has wide interests and desires in this medieval society, whether it is re-organizing books while using a Japanese version of the Dewey Decimal System, helping her friends, or making books, she is very industrious.
Kaisa, the librarian in the Trolberg City Library, is another excellent example of a character who has a life outside the library. While this wasn’t clear from her appearance in the first season of Hilda, in the second season she got a name and was shown to be a witch, even helping the protagonists track down tide mice which took over a local company. She is never shown shushing people, only telling the protagonist and her friends to keep it down because the library is closed, and is clearly atypical in comparison to most librarian portrayals, fights in the bowels of the beautiful library alongside the protagonists. She also, likely, has a professional degree in library science, although it is never specifically mentioned. Her character undoubtedly fulfills the LPT.
Apart from Oldham, George, Lance, and Kaisa are the librarians in Read or Die and R.O.D. the TV. They are much more than librarians, but can wield paper, using their papermaster skills to fight off those trying to restrict the flow of knowledge. The same is the case for the librarian-soldiers in Library War and it contrasts Francis Clara Censordoll in Moral Orel, who is dedicated toward censorship by any means possible, including book burning. While there are other examples of characters who are protagonists or recurring characters which are more than their jobs as librarians, especially in anime series, there are a few wonderful examples. One of these is Sara and Jeffrey in Too Loud, who are librarians which are clearly too loud, but they make it their place of work, and they help other people around the town, not chained to the library. While there are also older librarians, even they arguably may not be totally stereotypical. Another example is Clara Rhone in Welcome to the Wayne. While she is first and foremost shown as a librarian, she is much more than that, helping the protagonists fight the villains, gather information, and access it, that is held in the library of The Wayne, known as The Stanza. She is also a Black woman, unique for portrayal of librarians, especially in Western animation, which are generally shown as White women. She has a daughter, Goodness, who helps her with the library, while she remains the chief librarian, as do many other helpers, so she isn’t doing all the work alone.
Other well-developed characters, who happen to be librarians, also appear in animation, especially, from time to time. This includes Twilight Sparkle in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, who has her own personal beautiful library. Like Myne, she wants to, in one of the Equestria Girls specials, reorganize the library using a cataloging machine. The same can be said, you could argue, about the Wizard librarian in episodes of Prisoner Zero, as he starts as a librarian, who runs a beautiful and amazing library in the bowels of the ship. He later becomes one of the protagonists and helps the heroes fight evil and win the day in whatever way he can. Best of all is Sophie Twilight in Ms. Vampire who lives in my neighborhood, who is shown weeding her own library, getting rid of books she doesn’t want anymore and is willing to give away, one of the first times I’ve seen weeding of materials shown in an animated series.
Most recently, Amity Blight in The Owl House has been confirmed as a librarian. While she was shown as doing storytime at the Bonesborough Public Library before, and she fought alongside Luz Noceda, her love interest, in the stacks against books which had come to life, a recent episode expanded this. As I noted in my July 11th newsletter, in the episode “Through the Looking Glass Ruins,” Amity and Luz travel to the “Forbidden Stacks” to find a book by a human who came to Boiling Isles before Luz ended up there by accident. By the end, Amity and Luz strengthen their bond as friends, and companions, after Luz gets Amity’s job as a librarian back. Amazing to have a LGBTQ librarian (Amity is a lesbian) be in such a prominent show. That’s cool.
Another librarian who undoubtedly passes the LPT is Blinky. He appears across the Tales of Arcadia trilogy, but his role is a librarian is mostly emphasized in Trollhunters. As I noted in a recent post, his character, voiced by Kelsey Grammer, is an information provider, and atypical when it comes to portrayal libraries. This is because he is a well-rounded character, intelligent, well-read, and for most of the scenes he appears in, he is NOT in a library. However, he has no professional training and his library is mainly filled with books, making it a book depository in a sense. Unfortunately, we never see what classification or organization system he uses, although he undoubtedly has one. On the other hand, his library is shown as a place of knowledge, with characters using it often, and he is so vital to the show that if he was removed from the story, then it would unravel. On the whole, he is one of the best depictions of librarians I have seen in popular culture and in animated series, in some time, and he should be praised for that.

Other examples include Ms. Hatchet in an episode of Kim Possible, Mrs. Shusher in The Replacements, Libro Shushman in Teamo Supremo, Rita Loud in Timon & Pumbaa, Bat Librarian in Rose of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Mrs. L in Dexter’s Laboratory, as noted in my post back in April.
While the life of Swampy in Phineas and Ferb is shown outside the library, he is never shown in the library again after his debut episode, meaning he has become a rock star, and clearly fulfills the stereotype of a librarian who is a failure. Otherwise, Khensu in Cleopatra in Space, if he is considered a librarian, would fulfill this test, easily. The same can, obviously, be said about Mateo in Elena of Avalor, Ah-Mah in The Life and Times of Juniper Lee, and Kaeloo in Kaeloo, if all of this characters are counted as librarians.
I’m specifically referring to Lilith in Yamibou, Azusa Aoi in Whispered Words, Yamada in B Gata H Kei, Fumi Manjome in Aoi Hana / Sweet Blue Flowers, Chiyo Tsukudate in Strawberry Panic!, and Anne and Grea in Manaria Friends. Additionally, in some episodes of Mira, Royal Detective, Mira and her father act as librarians in regard to the mobile library. | <urn:uuid:0de7263a-f84b-4989-b594-920983de2df0> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://popculturelibraries.wordpress.com/2021/08/31/applying-the-librarian-portrayal-test-to-librarian-depictions/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573667.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819100644-20220819130644-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.966954 | 3,009 | 1.859375 | 2 |
Welcome to Sherwood School District’s (SSD’s) Healthy Schools page!
Our partner Sherwood Charter School maintains their own Healthy and Safe Schools Plan on their website (see links below).
Thanks to Sherwood residents a voter approved general obligation bond passed in November 2016. The Sherwood School District utilizing bond funds has been able to conduct deferred maintenance construction on several district buildings. During the course of construction the Sherwood School District contracts environmental services by our partner vendors to determine a variety of needs such as; indoor air quality tests and building material content verification. Environmental reports will be posted (see links below).
Sherwood School District has eight facilities; Sherwood High School, Sherwood Middle School, Ridges Elementary, Archer Glen Elementary, Middleton Elementary and Hawks View Elementary schools, the District Office building and Transportation (Cipole) building.
SSD contracts with PBS Environmental to perform required inspections of the Asbestos-Containing Materials in Schools per regulations. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) are the authorities that regulate asbestos and the ACM’s are regularly inspected and maintained in compliance with EPA and DEQ regulations. Sherwood School District takes actions consistent with DEQ and EPA guidelines to ensure the health and safety of students and staff.

Lead Paint Information
The Renovation, Repair and Painting Program Rule requires that individuals and firms conducting renovation, repair and painting projects on pre-1978 homes and child-occupied facilities (child care and schools) be certified to follow lead-safe work practices. For more information on this rule, you can visit the following website: Oregon Health Authority (OHA)
In order to comply with the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Renovation, Repair and Painting Program (RRP) Rule, Sherwood School District will utilize district staff that are certified to perform RRP work. The district maintenance department has a designated lead paint specialist who is EPA RRP certified and is responsible for in-house repairs and painting.
In the case of large scale painting or renovation projects involving contractors the district will contract only with RRP certified contractors.
Painted or coated surfaces in work areas impacted by renovation, repair, and painting activities are tested for lead on a case by case basis.
Below are the radon results from the District-wide testing that occurred between December 1, 2020 and December 3, 2020 by PBS Engineering and Environmental Inc.
Water Quality Testing
This section contains updates and answers to questions the community may have about drinking water in Sherwood School District (SSD) buildings.
SSD is not a purveyor of our own drinking water. The City of Sherwood is the purveyor of domestic water for SSD, and for questions about the water supply please visit the City of Sherwood website at City of Sherwood – Your Water.
See the links below for detailed information about water quality testing within SSD. | <urn:uuid:49d3bb93-b24a-4e80-9f05-60e2140fcef6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://sherwood.k12.or.us/departments/facilities-and-operations/health-safe-school-plans/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570765.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808031623-20220808061623-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.934974 | 620 | 1.78125 | 2 |
