A recent communication from Isao Azumaya, Aya Tanatani and colleagues describes their work on some macrocycles based on cyclic triamide 1. The bowl-like structure of these macrocycles is reminiscent of well-known supramolecular building blocks such as calixarenes, and the authors hope that they might be similarly applied to constructing supramolecular architectures. These macrocycles have three possible inter-convertible conformations, of which the most stable syn- forms are enantiomeric.
The group found that a number of triamide-substituted macrocycles such as 2 dimerise into capsule-like structures in the solid state through interactions between the amide groups. Remarkably, 2 formed chiral crystals, as the macrocycles dimerised in the syn-form and only with their own enantiomer. This is the first report of the separation of cyclic triamides without using an additional chiral species, and shows that this particular macrocycle is able to recognise its own enantiomer (in the figure below single enantiomers are shown in the same colour).
In solution, a tricarboxylate-substituted macrocycle was shown to interact with a chiral amine guest. This caused induction of chirality in a host in which, in equilibrium in solution, no particular enantiomer is usually favoured.
These simple macrocycles are easy to synthesise and functionalise and have fascinating dynamic behaviour in solution and in the solid state. They are an exciting prospect for application as molecular building blocks with the added potential for host-guest chemistry.

What do grocery stores do with their leftover hot deli food?!
Grocery stores are required to throw that food away. The people who work in the stores are not allowed to take excess food home. It's a sanitation thing - and the state governments are required to check on this from time to time also. My 3 sons all worked for one of the bigger grocery stores when they were in high school, so they knew a lot about what goes on in the stores. It's a shame that so much is wasted.
It's like a restaurant - if they can save it and serve it the next day (like some soups) they'll do that. Otherwise, they are required by law to throw it out.
I'm sure some grocery stores do try to donate left over food to local foodbanks or soup kitchens, but at least the place near me, the deli is open until 9pm, so I'm really guessing they just throw the food out if they can't use it the next day.
That's a good question. I would hope that they at least donate it the next morning to a food pantry for the homeless.
I used to work for the boys and girls club and we often got the day old breads, cakes and other goodies from the bakery section but never the hot stuff from the deli.
it would be a shame if they just throw it out... I'm going to watch your question to see what people say.
If it's a big grocery store like Wal-Mart, then they usually just throw it out. But if it's just a neighborhood store then they might throw it away or take it home.

A 331st Garland of British Light Music Composers
To start with, a few Victorian worthies. Alfred Lee’s songs were heard both in the music-hall and in more sober concerts ( Meet me in the Willow Glen figured in one such in Doncaster in 1861). Another song celebrated the achievements of Captain Webb on
swimming the English Channel. Still another, Mrs Winslow’s Soothing Syrup was appropriated by Elgar for one of his early wind quintets (the title
of it, that is). The New Electric Light and The Telegraph Girl celebrated mid-Victorian inventions. Purely comic imaginations were the
very popular Champagne Charlie and The Man on the Flying Trapeze, plus others like I Couldn’t Help Laughing,Many Happy Returns of the Day, Three Jolly Humbugs, The Three Sailors of Bristol Citee, Wo-oh! Emma! and When You Wash a Nigger White.
Two late 19th century purveyors of dance music based on stage shows were F.R. Kinkee: (Utopia Lancers, The Chieftain Lancers and Polka and Jane Annie Lancers and Waltz) and Leonard Williams, connected with the Williams
music publishing firm, Grand Duke Lancers and Quadrille, Rose of Persia Lancers, Emerald Isle Lancers, Merrie England Lancers and Tom Jones Lancers.
(1822-1896) also got in on that particular act in the Chieftain Quadrille, but he is best remembered for his often ballad-like songs such as Annabelle Lee, The Four Jolly Smiths, The Golden Year, O Memory and Speed on my Bark, Speed On.
And finally for two more light music writers for the piano. June Weybright set Two English Folk Tunes (Oh No John and Polly Put the Kettle On) for two pianos in 1942. And Stanley Wylie’s piano solo Mink and Pearls achieved some popularity
when it was published in 1957.
Philip L, Scowcroft
A 332nd Garland of British Light Music Composers
I begin with still more writers, basically for piano: Andrew Adorian, active in the 1960s and 1970s, published Nine Little Portraits and a Circus Suite (derived from a film), plus a Serenade Basque for cello and piano. From around the same
period there was Robert Barclay-Wilson, who, while he did compose many vocal pieces, also brought out many light piano pieces and examples
of these are Lullaby (1960), The Blithesome Scot (1961), Little Ballerina (1961), Pop Song without Words (1971),Caprice (1974), Three Contrasts (1974) Follow-My-Leader, Merry-Go-Round and Waltz. And Geoffrey Edward Flowers published a piano solo Cockleford Mill (1958) and A Plaintive Air and, for woodwind and brass
quartet A Miniature Suite.
Next for a group of composers known, at any rate to me, primarily for orchestral compositions. Several of them effectively ‘one work’ composers.Patrick Forbes for Jig and Folksong (part of a Miniature Suite, 1962, apparently not published in full);Michael Carroll (Lovely Margareta, 1961), Squire Mason (Four Musical Cartoons, 1960: Betty Boop, The Donkey and the Bee, Pizzi-cat, Rush Hour); Keith Paul (Runaway Bells, 1960);
and Gerald Clive Westlake (Crazy Bells, 1960)
Finally Geoffrey Tomlinson has specialised in work for younger performers – many arrangements, plus Contrasts: Seven Miniatures
(1973), Divertimento for strings (1970), Concourse for percussions and other instruments (1974) and Creature Comforts for voices
and percussion (1975).
A 333rd Garland of British Light Music Composers
has concentrated on music for younger performers in which sphere he was especially prolific in the 1970s, whether for orchestra – Halcon March and Brecon Waltz, Fanfare, Lullaby and Cherokee War Dance, Russian Gopak and Habanera and Tango are
examples, - or in the form of musical plays including Dismal Land and the Giant, Aladdin, Mr Mulberry’s Toyshop and Mrs Pennyweather’s Garden.
Another composer specialising (and around that same time) in light music for children is Kenneth Cartwright, again in orchestral works
like Clarinet cha-cha (1971) and the Newsom Suite for flute, strings, keyboard and percussion and uptempo cantatas such as Resurrection Jazz, Christmas Jazz and Harvest Jazz.
Now for a group of composers from the 1960s of orchestral miniatures for, and in some cases perhaps used by the recorded music libraries. They will seem,
to posterity, to be one work composers: people like Michael Rogers for the Hi-Fi Polka (1961), which was arranged by Peter Knight; James Warr (Misty Moon, 1962); Brian Fahey (Lowdown on the Hoedown,
(1967) and Mike Lewis (Hoe-Down, 1962).
Finally a mention for Anne Wood, composer, violinist and viola player, for her radio incidental music scores the most recent of which was
that for the Radio 3 drama, The Giant O’Brien (2002)
A 334th Garland of British Light Music Composers
To start with a number of composers who have written incidental music for BBC Radio productions in late 2002. Keith Morris, forLaughter When We’re Dead (Radio 3) John Roby for The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Radio 4);Nina Perry for By the Coast of Coromandel – In Search of Edward Lear (Radio 4); Rick Juckes, for E. Nesbit’s The Magic City (Radio 4) and David Pickvance for Where the Wild Things Are (Radio 4).
Now for a number of figures who are, at least as far as their light music is concerned ‘singletons’ or almost so.Sidney Thomas Mayow Newman (1906-?), organist, professor and conductor, composed songs and some incidental music for Aucassin et Nicolette. Among a largely classical output Rodney Stephen Newton can point to Byzantine Sketches (1978) for
clarinet quartet, the Constantine Suite (1977 for symphonic wind band and a Capriccio for bass tuba and piano. Frank Newton (unrelated) earns a mention for A Frolic, based on The Lincolnshire Poacher for two
pianos, published in 1961, Glaister Newton (also unrelated) for his two-part song The Pirate’s Christmas: The Spanish Main
(1958). From a generation earlier, W.J. Newstead published a piano miniature Wings.
Last among these sweepings we have two ballad composers from the early 20th century Winifred Catford for songs like Sea Moods andE.N. Catlin for Love among the Roses and two composers known, if at all, for works for two clarinets –Christopher Roe for Three Bagatelles, published in 1962 (he did write unison songs as well) and Keith Roper for Landscapes (1972)
A 335th Garland of British Light Music Composers
This Garland will mainly be devoted to figures from the second half of the 20th Century who have to a considerable extent devoted themselves to composing
for wind and brass instruments: but to supply a modicum of contrast, I will put in the name of Edward Land, a mid-Victorian ballad
composer, of such titles as My Old Friend John and Then When to Love is all my Care. He also toured the country giving ballad concerts -
he came to Doncaster in 1862 – being described as ‘conductor’, which then meant accompanist.
did not confine himself to composing for wind and brass, nor to ‘light’ music, but it is his Suite for woodwind and brass of 1966 which earns him
a mention here. Howard Cable’s fame rests largely on his wind music items like Stratford Suite (1964), Newfoundland Rhapsody (1970) and Commencement March, all for wind band and Red Rosey Bush and Wind Song for clarinet
choir; he also produced scores for radio features like that for The Long Portage. Norman Richardson also a prolific arranger and
from approximately the same period can point to The Countryman for wind band, a Sonatina for clarinet and, for brass band, an overture
and Avalon Diversions on an Original Theme. Gavin Smith’s wind pieces have included a North East Fantasy (1981),Snippets for Saxes, Studies in Dance Band Styling for the Sax Section (1983) and Katie’s Jubilee Suite (1981) for oboe and piano. Peter Fox, also a busy arranger, published Air and Allegro for clarinets in 1967 and High Stepper for flute and piano
the following year.
Purveyors of brass band music include Cyril Beare, with Jogging Along: Rhythm for Brass Band (1974),Andrew Jackman for Broadland Day (1982) and Roy Slack, for Rumba, A Flourish and the Suite Alacita, all for full brass band, A Toye for trumpet and piano and a large number of pieces for young | <urn:uuid:b3035a6f-5ab8-4aa8-b70a-e661348acfab> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.musicweb-international.com/garlands/331-335.htm | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571536.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811224716-20220812014716-00273.warc.gz | en | 0.91087 | 2,060 | 1.726563 | 2 |

Since I got back from England a month ago, I’ve been catching up with all the magazines that accumulated during the three weeks I was gone. Recently I read the November 15 issue of Newsweek. Initially I was happy to see the “Back Story,” the one-page article that comes at the end of each issue. It’s called “How Super Is Mario?” and compares the income of the video games and move industries. (It’s not available online complete unless you agree to a free trial of the online magazine. If you do, it’s here.)
The article consists of two pie charts (above and below) and a brief text. At first the text sounded promising: “A big game—take September’s release of Halo Reach, for example—can sell millions of copies at about $50 a pop. That’s far pricier than any movie ticket, of course. But despite the conventional wisdom, the silver screen still rakes in more cash overall than the gaming industry, according to an analysis of recent revenue.” Great, I thought, at last a publication that makes an accurate comparison between the amounts of money brought in by games and by movies.
But in fact the Newsweek analysis just repeats the conventional wisdom it claims to overturn and makes the same old invalid comparison that entertainment-business journalism has been making since video games started making real money. A cursory glance at the pie charts makes it seem as if the gaming industry is not all that far behind films: the games total is $60.6 billion vs. $77.1 billion for movies. But let’s take a glance that isn’t cursory.
I’ll make the same point that I made in Chapter 8 of The Frodo Franchise (2007), where I deal with video games. There, too, I quoted a Newsweek article (from June 3, 2002): “In 2001, consumers snapped up $9.4 billion worth of game software and hardware—up 43 percent from the previous year—led by Sony’s world-beating PlayStation 2. Noting that the game industry had once again outstripped Hollywood’s box-office revenues, the head of Sony’s U.S. computer-entertainment division, Kaz Hirai, says his next target is the $18 billion home-video industry.” (225-26)
Note that reference to “software and hardware.” The figure includes the consoles and other equipment people buy in order to play games. But the pie chart of movie-industry income doesn’t include hardware. What would happen if the sales of theater and home projectors, DVD and Blu-ray Players, iTouches, and all the other gadgets used to watch movies were factored into the film-income figures? As we know, there have been a lot of digital theater projectors and 3D systems sold in recent years, not to mention all those portable media players. The games industry would fall farther behind than it already is. (And let’s not forget that most of those gaming consoles also play movies, so an indeterminate part of their income should go into the movies column. Since last January, the Wii even comes with a Netflix connection installed.)
As of 2004, the most recent year I could get figures for when I was writing my book, games software brought in $6.2 billion. That same year all forms of film distribution (including home-video and broadcast and cable television) grossed $45 billion.
Yes, games are gaining, but they’re not nearly as close to catching up with movies as media coverage would lead you to believe. The good thing about Newsweek’s recent pie chart is that it allows us easily to factor out the hardware income from the games’ side.
Consoles are listed at $18.1 billion and accessories at $6.6. Take them away, and games software brought in $35.9 billion in the period covered (January 1, 2008 to September 30, 2010). There’s nothing to take away from the film pie, since it consists entirely of software rentals and sales. So film still brings in more than twice as much, $35.9 billion vs. $77.1. DVD and Blu-ray sales, at $34.2 billion, make nearly as much as all games.
True, the games revenue has risen considerably in proportion to films since 2004. In that year, games made 13.8% of what films did. In the 21-month period covered by the Newsweek analysis, they made 46.6% as much. Will there be as big a jump proportionately in the next five years? Maybe. It’s possible that the move into streaming downloads as a distribution basis for home video will mean that movies simply cost less per view and hence will lose ground against games in terms of total income, if not in terms of popularity. Still, methods of distributing games might end up making them cheaper as well.
None of this takes into account that most mainstream blockbusters spawn a lot more ancillary products than do comparable video games.
I don’t know why entertainment journalists keep making this basic and pretty obvious mistake of continuing to include hardware sales only for games when they compare the success of these two media. It is after all their job to research the figures and analyze them in the way most useful to their readers. Giving those readers the erroneous impression that video-game sales have nearly caught up with film income doesn’t seem useful. The myth is probably something that the gaming industry fostered years ago to give the impression that it was more successful than more balanced comparisons would reveal. Journalists kept making the same kind of misleading comparison, which became the “conventional wisdom” that Newsweek only thinks it’s correcting.
As I point out in the same chapter of my book, game companies and film studios are not entirely in competition with each other. They cooperate to a considerable extent, since movies and games are often part of the same franchises. Some of the same people work on both. Often similar or identical technology is used in creating both. Increasingly film studios big and little have their own game-production units, and gaming companies are seeing more value in creating intellectual property that can be used across platforms. Some of the top film directors have been involved in creating games. Films routinely get adapted into games as part of their overall franchises, and some games get adapted as films. A successful film usually makes for a successful game, though the opposite isn’t yet as common. Though the industries do compete for leisure time and money, neither is out to kill the other. In many cases they’re out to boost each other’s success. | <urn:uuid:5bc643f4-04e7-4c47-a2bd-4b741f4dd3c9> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.davidbordwell.net/blog/2010/12/27/still-cheating-on-video-games/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560282926.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095122-00401-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963019 | 1,407 | 1.695313 | 2 |

Securing safe water supplies. Comparison of applicable technologies.
EFFoST Critical Reviews #1
This 90- page review discusses the availability of potable water in the world and technologies to make water safe, in particular in difficult circumstances. This review covers technologies that are applicable everywhere, in disaster areas as well as in developing and developed countries. It compares a variety of purification systems. There is a growing evidence base on targeting water quality improvements to maximize health benefits by improving water supply, sanitation and hygiene. Better tools and procedures to improve and protect drinking-water quality at the community and urban level, for example, through Water Safety Plans include the availability of simple and inexpensive approaches to treat and safely store water at the household-level. This book is the result of a thorough study of the global situation by the authors as part of the EU-Project NovelQ.
“Securing safe water supplies. Comparison of applicable technologies” is written by Erik Voigt, Henry Jäger and Dietrich Knorr.
Transparency for Sustainability in the Food Chain. Challenges and Research Needs.
EFFoST Critical Reviews #2
This 100- page review lays out the key issues and challenges in food safety, food quality, chain integrity, the link with consumers and the technological base of tracking and tracing systems. This succinct volume brings readers up to speed on the state-of-the-art in these areas and on the research trends in specific domains. Food scandals and deficiencies in consumer communication have drawn increasing demands for food policies that ensure food safety and quality. Further, consumers increasingly expect that food production processes limit negative impacts on the environment and consider social concerns.
Moving toward improved transparency requires action by stakeholders of the food chain but also knowledge on where and how to move. Researchers and professionals working in food sourcing, regulation, safety and distribution, will benefit from this clear overview.
“Transparency for Sustainability in the Food Chain. Challenges and Research Needs” is written by Gerhard Schiefer and Jivka Deiters.
Governing Nano Foods. Principles-Based Responsive Regulation.
EFFoST Critical Reviews #3
Food which nanotechnology has impacted or to which nanotechnology is applied is referred to as nanofood. From treatment of the soil in which a crop plant is grown to the caring of a food, nanotechnology is a growing factor in the food supply. At this point, however, there is no definitive, effective global method for regulating the use of nanotechnology as it relates to the food supply.
Legislation on nanotechnologies is still evolving, as is understanding what data is needed for effective and appropriate risk assessment associated with nanotechnology impacted foods. Due to the emerging nature of nanotechnology and its role in the food supply, case-by-case studies are the current norm, but the need for wide-scale testing and broad-based regulatory standards is urgent.

Coronavirus: St. Landry Parish schools needs teachers, using technology for interviews
As students have grown accustomed to using a computer instead of a classroom, St. Landry Parish school officials have turned to technology to interview prospective teachers.
Instead of having applicants appear as usual for one-on-one interviews with central office staff at the school board office in Opelousas, job candidates are being interviewed by principals via Zoom meetings.
That's how interviews occurred last week at the May Job Fair as restrictions remained in place during the coronavirus pandemic.
The 95 applicants who attended the annual May event met Superintendent Patrick Jenkins, Human Resources Supervisor Matthew Scruggins, school principals, Certification and Recruitment Coordinator Gloria Malbrough and other supervisory personnel through a series of Zoom conferences.
St. Landry has 55 teaching positions posted on its website that are needed for the school year that begins in August. The jobs include teaching positions in a number of subject areas for kindergarten, elementary, junior high and secondary schools, and jobs for counselors in elementary and secondary schools.
Some of those who participated in the Job Fair included those graduating this semester from college, individuals who have been teaching in other districts including Evangeline and Lafayette, and others who have degrees in other professions, said Technology Director Tricia Fontenot.
Fontenot said she is unsure how many of the applicants were seeking to teach after being laid off by employers due to coronavirus.
A virtual Zoom meeting room was created for introductions provided by Jenkins, Scruggins, Fontenot and other school administrations. However the job interviews were conducted between the applicants and the principals.
“One Zoom meeting for each school was developed and (the teachers) met with each administrator in the weeks prior to the virtual job fair to ensure connectivity to their meeting room.
“Zoom links were provided to each participant and all administrators,” Fontenot said.
The system created to handle the candidates included a booking site for participants to create appointments with schools and spreadsheets for principals to determine when participants were to link up with them for the virtual interviews.
“The principals had access to the participants’ resumes due to the online registration,” Fontenot said. “I also set up requirements for the participants to attach their resumes in order to answer questions about areas of interest and list their certifications.”
Fontenot said despite the inability to meet personally in an office, the virtual interviewing atmosphere still enabled participants to engage in a dialogue.
“The principals did a great job with it. They were well prepared and practiced with staff members to ensure a smooth experience for the participants. (The preparation) was the key to the successes of the interviews,” Fontenot said.
Fontenot said the email feedback she received from the principals following the interviews were complimentary of the process. | <urn:uuid:300b27e1-98c2-4a97-9fff-17cf03534772> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.dailyworld.com/story/news/2020/05/06/st-landry-parish-schools-recruiting-teachers-via-technology-zoom/5172646002/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571234.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811042804-20220811072804-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.969021 | 599 | 1.71875 | 2 |
Over a length of time camcorders have evolved and the world's hottest human being utilized are digital camcorders but in the past looking into purchasing a digital television camera it is compulsory to see some of the significant camera features that should be considered when sounding for one. A digital tv camera works to green groceries difficult part metaphors and sounds, and it can transport hearsay to digital media close to discs instead of tapes as in senior models.
When you're probing for a television camera don't bury to countenance for depiction normalization - a essential when it comes to defining television camera features. A digital television camera will grant either visual or natural philosophy emblem standardisation. Optical standardization is where on earth the lens system on the digital camera moves in conformity with the camera's training. Electronic standardization is where descriptions on the optical device are captured onto the responsibility couple implement (CCD), and inner circuits are previously owned to decode picture imagery after sign is finished.
Important camera features should embrace a optical device beside modality rapid climb flat of at smallest possible 10x. Some digital camcorders have highly developed rapid growth levels, but the higher levels may not be prerequisite in many an cases. In fact, when a photographic camera is cd at a better ascent plane the picture characteristic can be underprivileged as it is harder to save nonmoving on something that is anyone recorded.Post ads:

One of the most prominent camera features is a good-quality soft solid salute (LCD) silver screen. This eyeshade is what is previously owned to demonstration similes that are going to be prerecorded onto the visual communication lp in the digital television camera. With a large surface it can be easier to see what is one recorded, and it besides helps to sort playback previews editable. Larger LCD screens also have menus that can help out to spawn customization of options on the television camera easier, by this means allowing for a greater height of cartel.
A digital camcorder's fixed microphone documents din. Various digital camcorders property ascension microphones that can intensify sounds in consistent areas where on earth recording is attractive forte. Some digital camcorders will also have a power point that allows for an external mike to be plugged-in.
Other influential camera features take in a brimming motorcar electric switch (which lets you spine and sprout), autofocus, zoom, spur-of-the-moment review, auto-exposure, backlight compensation, sound/video inputs (that let you dictation substance from other television camera or VCR), digital not moving know-how (that lets you transport snapshots), built-in banner generator, time-and-date stamp, case belief (which is a framework mention of scientifically where you are on the demo media - the hour, minute, second, and framework), far-flung rule (which helps when you're exploitation the television camera as a playback implement or when you're exploitation a stand), and programmed copy (self-timer).Post ads:

The second of the peak momentous camera features to believe but by no technique least, is hours of darkness property. Some cameras have the talent to copy similes in darker settings with ease, and a camera near a dark mode can aid. Some camcorders will have an infrared or slow-shutter dark way to serve with using ambient lighting in scenes to aid develop the light levels for the photographic camera. Usually a digital television camera will have one of these settings, but whichever have both.
So within you have it, a interpretation of the most in-chief camera features to manifestation for in a digital camera. This nature of camera can be excellent for demo reminiscences and events, but be confident to think these of the essence tv camera features in one so that it can be nearly new for everything you necessitate out of it. | <urn:uuid:2ceff20d-e6c0-4980-9a49-4ddea92262b6> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://brock3v.pixnet.net/blog/post/92845598-spur-of-the-moment-review-auto-exposure-backlight- | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560281162.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095121-00529-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.915091 | 1,122 | 1.742188 | 2 |
Best Quotes about Character
Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.
Strong feelings do not necessarily make a strong character. The strength of a man is to be measured by the power of the feelings he subdues not by the power of those which subdue him.

Should Germany start spending?
Matthias Kullas, from think-tank the Centre for European Policy (cep), told The Local: “We have to wait and see whether Germany really does go into recession, and whether it would be more than a short-term problem.
"At the moment there is no need for additional public deficit. Balancing the budget is still a good goal.”
He said Germany had enough “automatic stabilizers” to keep its economy steady, such as unemployment benefits to keep consumption afloat, in case jobs were impacted.
Kullas argued Germany was not saving itself into a recession, but that newer measures such as lowering the retirement age to 63 have dented the country’s finances. | <urn:uuid:50631bc9-10b1-4dae-b45c-04d577176564> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.cep.eu/cep-news-arhive/article/should-germany-start-spending.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720468.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00487-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974103 | 155 | 1.726563 | 2 |
Maintaining your yard neat and clean is essential for every proud homeowner. It adds to your curb appeal, and can substantially raise your real estate value on the market. If you’re handy there is some work that you can do by yourself, like mowing the lawn or plant some flowers, but when it comes to taking care of the trees on your property it’s better to leave it to the professionals. Numerous reasons justify this.
Skills and knowledge
The most apparent reason for hiring tree service is their experience and knowledge. Such skills don’t come overnight; it takes a lot of years of practicing and learning the job so that you can become an expert. An experienced crew will know exactly what kind of species do well in your climate and has the skills to properly care for them.
They also know various techniques on how to cut different trees and shrubs. Some trees are just not worth saving, and a knowledgeable tree service will be able to recognize that. Pruning and shaping might look like a simple task, but it’s not always going to make your trees thrive and look healthy. The experts can also give some useful advice on how to maintain your backyard vegetation.
This is pretty self-explanatory. Climbing up to great heights while handling heavy equipment can be a dangerous job if you don’t know what you’re doing. Even if you’re comfortable with climbing, chances are that you probably don’t have specific tools laying around.
Some branches might be rotten inside without showing off any visible signs which is a definite safety hazard. Overgrown trees often lean their branches toward your roof and gutters that makes them extremely inaccessible. Hence, do not take any chances with handling trees and branches by yourself but rather hire an expert tree service like carmelintreeservice.com, sit back, relax, and let the professional crew take care of your landscape.
Saves time and money
Everyone wants to save a few bucks with doing as much as they can by themselves, but this is not the case when you should be penny pinching. First off, many people don’t own the tools needed for this kind of work. Investing in equipment that you’re going to use once or twice a year is probably not going to pay off. Using wrong tools can be tiring and time-consuming leaving you with the unfinished work at the end.
On the other hand, prolonging trimming your branches can cause a lot of damage on your roof and even hang onto power cables. It can also clog gutters that can lead to water coming down your walls triggering mold. As you can see, it’s not just a cosmetic problem. Regular pruning is essential to maintaining your yard look appealing, keeping your family safe from falling branches, and taking care of your house.
Keeping foundation safe
Over a while, tree roots can seriously damage the foundation of your home. Large roots can harm your home’s foundation when they start growing underneath. This is a potential danger that you might not be aware of. Roots can shake-up every structure foundation on your land. It can also cause sewer pipes to leak or break completely. Experts are trained to foresee these types of problems before they occur, thus saving you a lot of grief and cash.
Keeps the property clean
Overgrown and excessively large trees shed a lot of leaves, which means more work for you in the fall. By trimming it you can save your lawn and spare yourself from the unnecessary work. If you miss a day or two of cleaning your land of fallen leaves, it affects your lawn, making grass rotting away. Also, fallen branches and sticks can attract rodents and pests that can spread all over your backyard to your brushes, flowers, and even your deck. So, pruning the branches will keep your property look neat saving you time and money on the way.
Experts provide a full range of services
Tree service companies have a wide range of services offered. It’s not only cutting branches as you might think. It can be a preventive care of your landscape, tree planting, or removal. They are backed up by years of experience to carefully expect every branch ensuring that the tree is healthy and safe.
Experienced arborists can spot bug infestation and various diseases on a regular maintenance check. If the tree can be saved instead of pulled out, tree service workers can do it on the spot giving it support it needs in the form of braces and cabling. However, if a tree needs to be removed, they can do that too, safely and securely. You could probably cut it down and let it rot away, but that can cause different problems like drawing insects and mice to your property.
For the full removal of the tree, including trunk and roots, the best thing is to rely on the tree service guys. In case you are looking to plant some new trees and bushes, they can ensure that you get the best quality vegetation for your yard. Remember, they are professionals working with trees day in and day out, so surely, they know where to find good trees at an available price. This can save you many hours calling and driving around stores in search of that perfect addition to your yard.
Taking care of your trees, especially if you have a lot of them on your land, is a serious and hazardous job. Experience in such work is absolutely necessary, since it requires a lot of time and physical labor, along with the special power tools.
Most of the tree services will work around your schedule and are available 24/7 for all unexpected circumstances, like bad storms. The stress of not knowing where to start and how to do it, if you can do it at all, is taken off of your shoulders by hiring a skilled crew.
Go here to learn more about professional tree services that can help you with your tree maintenance. | <urn:uuid:6fe34645-9b81-4972-8105-23ca9aa98f1d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://demotix.com/hiring-a-professional-tree-service/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572161.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815054743-20220815084743-00479.warc.gz | en | 0.959393 | 1,217 | 1.71875 | 2 |
The following table presents some of the largest genes in the human genome. These sizes are from transcribed regions rounded to the nearest 0.01 Mb. For comparison, genes encoding some of the largest proteins have been included. For more information about these genes, see the section listed in the right column. Some of these genes produce a very large number of transcripts and isoforms. Many have functions in the development of the nervous system. Note that links for the gene names point to a single isoform / transcript and that the reference set may include others.

|SOX5||1.03||transcription factor||SOX Family|
|Genes for Large Proteins|
|MUC16||0.13||mucin 16 (CA-125 antigen)||Mucins|
TTN and MUC16 are the largest proteins in the reference set but their genes are only a fraction of the size of the largest genes.
As can be seen in the following figure, in general, these large genes are dispersed along the chromosomes; however, SPAG16 and ERBB4 are very close to each other on chromosome 2. GPC5 and GPC6 are near each other on chromosome 13. Note the absence of large genes on the gene-rich chromosomes 19 and 22.
Related proteins are sometimes encoded by genes that have very different sizes. Although utrophin (UTRN) is encoded by a large gene (0.56 Mb), it is only a fraction of the size of dystrophin (DMD, 2.22 Mb). DAB2 is a 0.05-Mb gene, much smaller than DAB1 (1.25 Mb). LRP1 (0.08 Mb) is also much smaller than LRP1B (1.9 Mb).
As seen in the preceding table, two of the neurexins are encoded by very large genes but the third family member, NRXN2, is only 0.12 Mb. A similar situation is found with the roundabout (ROBO) family and several other neuronal protein families (see Neurons). The SNRPN gene in the Prader–Willi imprinted region and the SNRPB gene (see Capping and Splicing) also differ greatly in size but encode similar-sized proteins.
Alternate transcripts are a mechanism for producing isoforms targeted to distinct subcellular compartments. Isoforms are also produced in a tissue-specific manner. HK1 (see Hexokinases and Initial Sugar Metabolism) produces several isoforms from different transcripts, some of which are testes-specific.
The following figure shows the distribution of exon number for human genes. The number of genes with a given exon count is the y coordinate. It uses the gene set described at the beginning of this section. The distribution has a mode of four exons and a median of eight exons. The small number of genes with over 100 exons (see table later in this section) is not plotted.
Many genes are interrupted by an extremely large number of introns. The following table presents some of them. Note that these are not the largest genes in the genome, but they encode many of the largest proteins. Only one transcript from each gene was used. The total number of exons for the gene may be larger than shown. Also, not all transcripts from these genes may be present in the current data sets. The links in the table point to the isoform / transcript with the indicated number of exons.
|Genes with the Most Exons|
|SYNE1||146||nesprin 1||Spectrin and Plectin Families|
|COL7A1||118||collagen type VII||Collagen|
|SYNE2||116||nesprin 2||Spectrin and Plectin Families|
|HMCN1||107||hemicentin 1||Additional Immunoglobulin-related Receptors|
|RYR1||106||skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor||Muscle|
|UBR4||106||retinoblastoma-associated protein||RB1 and Related Functions|
|RYR2||105||cardiac muscle ryanodine receptor||Muscle|
|SSPO||103||subcommissural organ spondin||Additional Genes in Development|
|MDN1||102||midasin||Nucleus and Nucleolus|
Many proteins are encoded by genes with a single exon or have multiple exons but no introns in their protein-coding regions. Examples are found in the histones, the olfactory and other G-coupled receptors, the interferons, and some members of the FOX family. As seen in the preceding table, large proteins are generally encoded in genes interrupted by many introns. A notable exception is EPPK1 (epiplakin, a protein of over 5000 amino acids) which may lack introns in most or all of its coding sequence.
The following figures show how exon number correlates more with protein size than gene size, notably for genes with many exons.
The plot on the left has protein size (log scale) on the x-axis. Gene size (log scale) is the x-axis in the plot at right. Exon number is given on the y-axis (log scale). Single-exon genes are the points along the x-axis. Note the differing scales on the x-axes. The log scales help present the wide data range. The gene set used here is the same as that used in the figure on exon numbers for human genes. Gene size is the span of the transcribed region. The UTRs may be underestimated (see below).
The final plot in this series presents gene size against protein size. A positive correlation is observed.
The same gene / transcript set was used as in the previous figures. The roughly linear set of points at the bottom of the cluster derives from single-exon genes with very small reported UTRs.
Introns vary over a very large size range. The following table uses the same gene set used to produce the figures on exon numbers to present median intron sizes. The table shows data for genes with 2 through 16 exons (1 through 15 introns). The "Gene count" column is the number of examples of that type. Note the greatly increased size for the first introns of genes compared to their subsequent introns and the inreasing size of first and other early introns for genes with many exons.
|Median Intron Sizes|
The following table lists some of the largest documented introns in the genome. Very large introns are, by necessity, found in large genes. This list overlaps with the list of the largest genes earlier in this section. Note how the genes with the largest introns vary considerably in the number of introns they contain. DPP6, a very large gene spanning an assembly gap, also is likely to contain a very large intron. Many of the genes listed in this table have multiple entries in the reference set for distinct isoforms and transcripts. The links in the following table point to the isoform / transcript with the indicated large intron.
|Genes with the Largest Introns|

The following table gives exon size data for genes with up to 15 exons using the same genes set desribed for the corresponding intron table. The sizes of the first exons are likely underestimated because of incomplete cDNA clones. The sizes of the final exons are likely overestimated because longer mRNAs are often mapped onto the genome. They may include other poly(A) processing sites that would result in shorter mRNAs. Middle exons have a relatively consistent median size. This number declines modestly as number of exons in the transcript increases. For all middle exons from the full set of selected transcripts, the median value is 123 nucleotides.
|Median Exon Sizes|
A clear trend is seen where increased gene density (shown here as less sequenced DNA per gene) is associated with a decrease in gene size. The increased gene density is not simply similar-sized genes being closer to each other. The genes still occupy only a fraction of the DNA of the chromosomes (even if predicted genes were added to the set). The X and Y chromosomes and the autosomes with the highest and lowest gene densities are labeled. A notable exception to the trend is seen with the Y chromosome (and to a lesser degree with the X chromosome). The Y chromosome has relatively few genes compared to the other chromosomes.
The preceding figure is a cummulative plot of the distances from the center of the nearest CpG island to 5' ends of the transcripts mapped onto the reference genome (selected as before but also excluding genes assigned to chromosome fragments with no CpG island). Negative distances indicate an upstream relative location. Almost 61% of the selected transcripts have their starts within a CpG island. As can be seen in the figure, an even higher fraction of genes has RNA starts close to strictly defined CpG islands. The distribution has very long tails. For comparison, the equivalent calculation for mRNA 3' ends has a relatively flat distribution (not shown).
The gene information for this section is based on the release 37.1 reference genome sequence and the NCBI Map Viewer tables. The size of DPP6 is an estimate as it spans a gap in the assembly. The CpG islands used to prepare the figure were those defined as "strict" in the genome annotation.
The transcript set used to prepare the figures and tables was constructed from the set of transcripts in the Map Viewer tables. For each named gene, only one transcript with a largest encoded protein (in amino acids) was used. If a gene had multiple transcripts encoding proteins of that size, one with the most exons was retained. Transcript predictions were excluded. Similarly, genes reported with no untranslated region were also generally excluded (many of these were olfactory receptor genes). The retained set had 18,159 transcripts. It also excluded a small number of ambiguously placed transcripts and a few genes that span gaps in the assembly.

Houston Freeze Damage 2021
Many Houston residents went without water or power during the city’s historic freeze, and not everyone survived.
As of February 19, 2021, officials reported:
- 10 hypothermia deaths
- And more than 600 cases of carbon monoxide poisoning
Three children and their grandmother were also killed in a house fire during the power outage, and Houston’s most vulnerable residents had to fight for survival. Although authorities have not released an official death toll, some sources have the toll at 69 people – and counting.
Survivors Still Strapped for Resources
Even those who survived the harsh winter conditions are not out of the woods yet. Due to a drop in water pressure, Houston remains under a boil water notice, some people still do not have running water in their homes, and about 7,000 CenterPoint Energy customers were without power on February 19.
Food scarcity has been an issue, as well due to:
- Panic buying
- Suspended school meal programs
- And overwhelmed food banks
During the freeze, many people flocked to public warming centers and visited restaurants and other local businesses to borrow running water and warm up. At the peak of the winter weather event, 1.4 million Houston homes were freezing and without electricity. People who were lucky enough to have power during the crisis now face electricity bills that cost well over $10,000.
Property Damage and Insurance Claims
On top of all of this, countless home and business owners suffered burst pipes and other property damage. According to KPRC 2 News at 4, thousands of homes and businesses were impacted, and Texas’ 60,000 licensed plumbers are scrambling to meet the challenge.
Additionally, people with insurance policies are bound to face difficulties with their claims during the aftermath of the federally declared disaster. If you have homeowners insurance or business insurance, review the terms of your policy and file a claim right away, as some insurance companies require you to file a burst pipe claim within 48 hours of the event.
Further, keep a record of every time you talk to your insurance company, including calls that nobody answers. Preserve evidence of property damage with pictures and physical proof (e.g., a piece of wet carpet in cases involving wet carpet).
If your claim is denied, ask an attorney for help.
Who Is to Blame?
No one can control the weather, but many argue the state of Texas should have prepared for unfavorable conditions. Many parties are blaming the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) for the widespread power failure during freezing temperatures, and 5 officials have stepped down from the board overseeing the Texas power grid.
Because ERCOT is subject to oversight by the Public Utility Commission of Texas and the Texas Legislature, the company may be immune to liability in lawsuits. That being said, the Harris County attorney is initiating a civil investigation into the decisions made by ERCOT and the Public Utility Commission, the district attorney in Travis County is opening a criminal investigation, and the State Legislature is holding hearings on the power outages.
In a statement, Governor Gregg Abbott ripped ERCOT’s assurances that the power infrastructure was prepared to endure winter conditions:
“Those assurances proved to be devastatingly false…When Texans were in desperate need of electricity, ERCOT failed to do its job, and Texans were left shivering in their homes without power.”
One professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Texas at Auston, says in-state gas producers and power plant owners are on the hook, as well. These parties failed to spend the money to weatherize power sources simply because there was no law requiring them to do so.
Recovering From Losses
As the state searches for answers and accountability, as many as 69 people lost their lives, and others faced immeasurable economic and non-economic losses.

Archaeologists have discovered previously unknown tombs under Maya pyramids. This discovery could change everything that we know about this ancient civilization.
Archaeological excavations of Maya pyramids in several locations across modern-day Guatemala have led to the discovery of two ‘untouched’ toms that somehow were left untouched by looters.
Among the discover artifacts, archaeologists recovered a skeleton, with teeth jade inlays, and an inscribed human tibia bone. Researchers argue that the teeth suggest the tomb belonged to some from within the ruling elite.
Archaeologist Estrada-Belli told the Guardian in an interview that the bone was a “very, very rare find,” could have belonged to a relative of the person buried in the tomb, or an important prisoner of war, but we should know more once the inscription has been decoded.
The second tomb which also contained a skeleton was found in another pyramid and was decorated with an array of vessels and jade ornaments, and a jade necklace that according to Estrada-Belli could be a “war trophy.”
“This is the first major find of this kind. The offerings include some elaborate ceramics and objects of bone and shell,” he said. “The most interesting is one that has an inscription that states that the object is a jade necklace piece and belongs to a king from another place.”
According to Alexandre Tokovinine, this is the first jade artifact ever discovered which makes reference to a ‘snake king.’
“The inscription on the necklace, which holds a carved cormorant’s head that morphs into the image of a sun god, is unusual because it belongs to a king from an entirely different city: ‘Yuknoom Ti’ Chan, Holy King of Kaanul,’” Yuhas reports.
“The King was a member of the Snake dynasty, 100 miles [160 km] from their ancient capital of Dzibanche, which stands in modern Mexico.”
The recently found toms are of GREAT importance
Experts believe the tombs date back to the period before the mystery collapse of the ancient Maya. The contents of the tombs will offer insight into the history of the ‘civil’ war fought between a family of so-called ‘snake kings’ and a rival kingdom.
According to reports, the tombs were found in the remains of the ancient city of Holmul, located about 500 kilometers north of the Guatemalan capital.
The discovery was made possible thanks to a revolutionary new technology that allows experts to search the ground with the use of lasers from a helicopter in order to recreate a detailed imagery of our planet’s surface.
This new technique is expected to reveal many more structures from the ancient Maya civilization in the near future.
“We have the tip of the iceberg,” one of the archaeologists, Francisco Estrada-Belli from Boston University, told Alan Yuhas at The Guardian.
“We’re going to have to rewrite all the books of Maya history and the complexity of Maya civilization, culture. Right now, we have 1 percent, in spite of 100 years’ research.” | <urn:uuid:94699194-69cd-46a8-941d-be7042857936> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://mirrorspectrum.com/behind-the-mirror/ancient-tombs-found-under-maya-pyramids-shed-light-on-mysterious-snake-kings | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560281424.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095121-00334-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.955011 | 689 | 3.046875 | 3 |
Meeting royalty can be intimidating and uncomfortable. Get familiarised with the protocol for meeting royalty from different parts of the world, and your royal encounter is sure to go smoothly.
Other People Are Reading
When meeting European royals, especially English royals, don't speak unless spoken to, use the official formal address and from then on in the encounter use "sir" or "ma'am." Men may bow their heads. Women may curtsy. Don't extend your hand for a handshake until the royal does first. Briefly and gently shake the royal's hand.
In Asia, each royal family has its own protocol, so research the culture in question. When meeting Japanese royals, follow the protocol for meeting Europeans. Thai royalty, however, must not be touched or spoken to.
The Middle East
While protocol for meeting Middle Eastern royals is similar to protocol for meeting Europeans, Middle Eastern royals are very unforgiving about certain offences. Don't make extended eye contact with the opposite sex in general. Men, don't look women in the eyes or extend your hands first when meeting women. Wear modest clothing that covers your arms and legs. Women, wear head scarves.

2016 Water Resources Development Act Resources
The Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) is an important piece of legislation that is traditionally passed every two years to authorize U.S. Army Corps of Engineers activities for flood control, navigation, and ecosystem restoration. Prior years' WRDA bills have also included provisions addressing water infrastructure policy and financing. This year, the Senate WRDA bill is particularly comprehensive and includes provisions addressing affordability, integrated planning, green infrastructure for stormwater management, municipal engagement with USEPA, and more which could benefit clean water utilities. Meanwhile the House WRDA package includes a provision supported by NACWA to improve collaboration between entities of local government and the U.S. Army Corps at the nexus of flood control and stormwater management and reuse. WRDA presents a strong opportunity to advance long-term clean water priorities and NACWA is advocating strongly for its passage with key clean water provisions included.

The 30th of the month, Memory of the Holy, Glorious and Illustrious Apostle ANDREW the FIRST-CALLED
The glorious Apostle of Christ, Andrew, was the brother of the holy Apostle Peter, and came from the village of Bethsaida on the western shore of the Lake of Gennesaret. Unlike Simon Peter, who married, Andrew chose to remain in his virginity, and lived in Simon Peter’s house. The two brothers earned their living as fishermen and kept all the ordinances of the law blamelessly. When Saint John the Baptist went about Judaea and the Jordan valley proclaiming his message of repentance, Andrew left everything that held him in the world, and hastened to join him as a disciple. Some days after he had baptized Jesus, John the Baptist was conversing with Andrew and his other disciple John the Theologian, when the Lord passed by John the Baptist looked at Him and said to his disciples: Behold, the Lamb of God! (John 1:35). At this word of their master, which indicated to them the One of whom God had appointed him the Forerunner, Andrew and John followed Jesus to find out more about Him. Jesus turned towards them and said: What do you seek? – ‘Rabbi,’ they answered respectfully, ‘where are you staying?’ – Come and see, said Jesus. So they accompanied him to the place where he was living like a stranger and sojourner, and plied Him with questions for the rest of the day. They did not realize then that He was the Saviour and the Son of God, nor was it even in their minds to become his disciples, yet they felt drawn to Him more than they could say.
From their conversation with Him, Andrew was convinced that Jesus was the Messiah, the Saviour of the world, whom his people had awaited for so many centuries. Unable to contain his joy, he hurried home and told his brother Simon: We have found the Messiah (John 1:41), and then he brought him to Jesus. Being the first to recognize Christ and to announce Him to Peter – who would become the leader of the Apostolic choir – Saint Andrew is given the title of First-called.
From then on, Andrew followed the Saviour wherever he went in the towns and villages, deserts and mountains, that he might drink deep of the river of living water of His words. At Andrew’s intercession, the Lord multiplied the loaves to provide earthly food for the Five Thousand (John 6). It was to Andrew that the Apostle Philip turned when some Greeks asked to see Jesus. Andrew had an especial love for Philip who, like him, came from Bethsaida, and Philip knew that Andrew’s communication with the Master was on a more familiar footing than his own (John 12:20). The witnesses of the most sublime revelations of the divinity of the Lord Jesus were Peter, James, and John, the first in the rank of the Apostolic choir, followed by Saint Andrew – not that he exercised authority over the rest of disciples, but he had a kind of precedence.
Saint Andrew witnessed all that came to pass in Jerusalem at the time of the Life-giving Passion of the Lord, and was present with the others at the appearances of the Saviour after his Resurrection. He received the fullness of the Grace of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, and he was allotted to preach the Gospel around the Black Sea coast (in Bithynia and Thrace), and in Greece. Faithful to the exhortation of the Lord, he took with him no purse, nor bag, nor staff (Matt. 10:10) and went out into the highways to proclaim the good news of Salvation. He faced perils and tribulations without number, illnesses, dangers from robbers, mistreatment from Jews and pagans, and every kind of privation; but the Holy Spirit accompanied him wherever he went, spoke by his mouth, worked miracles and healings, gave him patience and joy in his trials. And this indwelling power of God drew multitudes to the faith, whose minds were illumined by his preaching. He brought souls to second birth through the laver of holy Baptism; he ordained priests and consecrated bishops at their head, built churches and organized the praise of God within them.
He went first to Amisus in Pontus on the southern shore of the Black Sea, where he converted a large number of Jews, and healed all kinds of disease by the power of God. Proceeding along the coast to Trebizond, he preached the word as far as the region of Lazica in the Caucasus before returning to Jerusalem for Easter. From there he set out for Ephesus with Saint John the Theologian and spent some time evangelizing the western parts of Asia Minor. Making his way up the coast to the Propontis, he spread the word in the cities of Nicaea, Nicomedia, Chalcedon, Heraclea Pontica and Amastris. Constantly challenged by fanatical supporters of pagan cults and by sophists with beguiling arguments, Saint Andrew covered both parties with confusion by his wisdom and miracles. On reaching Sinope, he delivered the Apostle Matthias from chains by his prayer, and was set upon by the infuriated pagans. Covered in blows, he was thrown to the ground, and he even had a finger bitten off. Like his Master, the Lamb of God, who came on earth to suffer and to take away the sins of the world, Andrew sought neither to flee nor to defend himself, but bore everything with patience. Seeing his steadfastness, forbearance, and the many miracles that he did, the people of Sinope repented, asked his forgiveness and received holy Baptism.
After he had established a bishop and priests at Sinope, Andrew returned to the cities of the Propontis which he had already evangelized, in order to confirm them in the faith. Going East again, he refuted the pagan sophists in the cities of Neocaesarea and Samosata, and then made his way once more to Jerusalem for the council, at which the Apostles decided how pagans were to be received into the Church (Acts 15).
After the feast of Easter, Andrew went with Matthias and Thaddeus as far as the borders of Mesopotamia, where he left them in order to preach the Good News in the barbarous lands to the north of the Black Sea (now the Crimea and Southern Ukraine). After that he returned to the West, illumined the hearts of the people of the small town of Byzantium in Thrace by his preaching, and founded a Church dedicated to the Mother of God. Leaving Stachys, one of the Seventy (31 Oct.), as bishop there, the indefatigable Apostle journeyed on through Thrace, Macedonia and Thessaly and as far as the city of Patras in the Peloponnese.
At Patras Andrew healed Maximilla, the Proconsul’s wife, of an incurable illness, and so brought her to the faith. The other inhabitants of Patras also shared in the blessings he brought with him, and there was soon a large community of Christians in the city. During the absence of the Proconsul Aegeates, Saint Andrew converted his brother and deputy, Stratocles. On his return, Aegeates was enraged to observe the gains made by the Christians even in his own household, and he had the Apostle arrested. In prison Andrew continued preaching, and he ordained Stratocles as Bishop of Patras. Some days later the Apostle was summarily condemned to be crucified head downwards. How joyful he was to imitate Christ even in the way he was to die for Him! After restraining the friends who wanted to procure his freedom, Andrew blessed his faithful for the last time and gave up his soul to God. Aegeates died a violent death soon after, as punishment for his iniquity, and his wealth was distributed to the poor by Stratocles, who built the cathedral church over the place of the Apostle’s martyrdom.
Many years later, on 3 March 357, the precious relics of the Apostle were brought from Patras to Constantinople by Saint Artemius (20 Oct.) at the command of the Emperor Constantius, the son of Saint Constantine. They were placed with those of Saint Luke and Saint Thaddeus in the new Church of the Holy Apostles. Five hundred years later, they came back to Patras, sent by Emperor Basil I the Macedonian (867-86). In 1460, on the eve of the Turkish invasion of the Peloponnese, Thomas Palaeologus, the Despot of Morea, presented them to Pius II, Pope of Rome. The skull of the Apostle was finally returned to Patras on 26 September 1964, to the great joy of the faithful.
According to a Slav tradition, Saint Andrew’s mission extended as far as Russia, which would give the Russian Church a distant apostolic origin identical to that of Constantinople (Byzantium). At all events, the Russian Church certainly belongs to the branch that goes back to Saint Andrew, since after its conversion Russia depended for many centuries on the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
In the Western tradition, Saint Andrew is especially venerated as the patron of Scotland. Saint Rule, a native of Patras, is said to have brought a part of the precious relics of the Apostle to Scotland in obedience to a vision. He founded a church in Fife at the place now called St Andrews, which became a centre of evangelization and pilgrimage. In the Middle Ages, there were more than eight hundred churches in Scotland dedicated to the First-called of the Apostles.

Tamale, Dec.16, GNA “ Professor Maria Luisa, a handball expert from the International Handball Federation (IHF), has said handball was one of the most profitable games that could earn the country much money and advised Ghana to invest in it.
She said the game was more profitable than football and that there were fewer players of handball in Ghana compared to other countries and suggested the need for many youths to get involved since it was very interesting and lucrative.
Prof Luisa was speaking to the media in Tamale on Sunday after a training session with some teachers and coaches as part of a nationwide training programme which forms part of measures to promote handball in Ghana.
The beneficiaries of the training would intend extend the knowledge gained to their students and the youth.
Prof Luisa said handball was a complex game which required smartness and alertness with quick decisions to be taken in order to beat your opponent.
Mr. Nashiru Yakubu, Secretary General of the Ghana Handball Association, said the Association was carrying out a project in schools to teach coaches and teachers the game.
He said even though the game was young in the country, it was improving and urged the youth and students to develop interest in it.
He expressed worry about lack of facilities for the game and said balls for the game were very expensive, not easy to come by and urged the government to invest in the game. | <urn:uuid:03f6d33d-5bf5-4665-9446-8af34a44bef8> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.ghananewsagency.org/sports/experts-says-ghana-must-promote-handball-game-68596 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560281069.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095121-00270-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.990301 | 291 | 1.585938 | 2 |
This post was co-authored by John Campbell and Allen Grane, research associate for Africa Policy Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.
Many friends of South Africa’s post-1994 “non-racial democracy” have seen developments within the ruling African National Congress (ANC), especially under Jacob Zuma, as threatening the open political system based on the rule of law. So long as voting was largely determined by racial identity, the 80 percent of South Africa’s population that is black seemed to ensure that the party would remain in power indefinitely. The White, Coloured, and Asian minorities supported the Democratic Alliance (DA), but together they are not large enough to constitute an alternative to the ANC, except on the provincial level.

Dust Mites, Allergies and Asthma
Fight allergies with Forty Winks beds, mattresses, mattress protectors and covers.
Dust mites are the leading trigger of allergens and asthma in the home and one of their prime breeding grounds is in the bed - you can't see them with the naked eye but you're probably sleeping with between 100,000 and 1 million of them and may not realise the effect they may have on your health and respiratory system.
Allergens produced by house dust mites are among the most common triggers of asthma. Some main signs of house dust mite allergies are itchiness, sneezing, eczema, watering/reddening eyes, runny nose and the symptoms of asthma - wheezing, coughing and/or shortness of breath. Consider allergy testing to determine causes of your allergies.
If you are one of the many people allergic to house dust mites and bed mites then avoidance of these mites and their allergens is the best course of action and the use of a mattress and bedding that acts as a barrier to the bed mite and allergies is a good first step and may assist asthma prevention. The bedding should also be breathable and able to withstand frequent washing.
One of the most strongly allergenic materials found indoors is house dust, often heavily contaminated with the fecal pellets and cast skins of house dust mites. Estimates are that dust mites may be a trigger factor in 50 to 80 percent of asthmatics, as well as in countless cases of eczema, hay fever and other allergic ailments.
At Forty Winks, we understand beds and the importance a good night's sleep has on your health. Ask to see the AH Beard Sensitive Choice products at all Forty Winks Stores where there is a range of mattresses that use foam and fabrics that have been treated with HealthGuard for long term protection against house dust mites, mould and bacteria.
The National Asthma Council Australia has recognised AH Beard's commitment to reducing allergens and asthma in mattresses by approving the company as its exclusive mattress partner within the Sensitive Choice program.
According to National Asthma Council Australia Chief Executive Officer, Kristine Whorlow, over two million Australians have asthma and 40 per cent of Australians suffer from allergies. "These people want good information to help them make better purchasing decisions that have the potential to benefit their health and improve the quality of life, and that is the aim of the Sensitive Choice program," she said.
"We also want to encourage manufacturers to consider the needs of people with asthma and allergies when they are developing their products, in the same way that AH Beard has developed a range of beds that fight dust mites and allergy triggers."
AH Beard products that have been approved to carry the Sensitive Choice blue butterfly logo are made with fabrics from Bekaert textiles and quality foams that have been treated with HealthGuard™ to reduce dust mites and prevent the growth of mould, mildew, fungus and bacteria.
The HealthGuard treatment is available on selected beds in the Forty Winks range. Since your bed is the single most used item in your home - around one third of our lives are spent in bed - then it makes sense to make sure you have the right bed.
For those who like the idea of protection from dust mites and allergens but don't necessarily wish to buy a new mattress, the Australian-made Protect•A•Bed offers a full line of state-of-the-art mattress protectors, full mattress encasements, pillow protectors and cot mattress protectors designed to promote health and hygiene while allowing for allergy-free sleep. The range includes a number of protectors from the Allerfresh Mattress protector to the luxurious Elite Tencel White Mattress protectors. Made from Eucalyptus, the natural fibre is anti-bacterial and acts like an invisible, breathable skin between you and your mattress.
Following are just some of the mattresses featuring HealthGuard at Forty Winks.

The Rhythm of Sleep
Why do We Sleep?
Not all animals sleep, but like humans, those that do have powerful sleep needs. For example, dolphins must voluntarily breathe air, which means they face the choice of staying awake or drowning. The dolphin solves this problem by sleeping on just one side of its brain at a time! The other half of the brain, which remains awake, controls breathing (Jouvet, 1999).
Hallucinations can occur and feeling of falling.
NEED TO KNOW:
There is a negative correlation between time spent in REM sleep and age.
Fig. 7.3 Development of sleep patterns. Short cycles of sleep and waking gradually become the night-day cycle of an adult. While most adults don’t take naps, mid-afternoon sleepiness is a natural part of the sleep cycles. (After Williams et al., 1964.)
Why Do We Sleep?
Roughly 1/3 of our lives sleeping (25 years)
Most people need 8-8.5 hours of sleep to function but most Americans sleep 7-7.5 hours. Almost 1/3 of Americans get less than 6 hours. 74% women sleep less than 8 hours a night.
Article: “Are you a Walking Zombie?’
Most teens need 9 hours and 15 minutes of sleep a night. Average teenager's biological clock doesn't prepare them to awaken until 8 or 9 AM. This can interfere with memory and learning.
UH-OH!!! What does this mean for YOU!
Students who sleep the most do better on grades & exams.
What can we conclude from this? (10-11, Wehr)

Most persons when they go to their physician, one of the first questions the physician will ask is, are you allergic to any medications? In more than one instance, patients forget that they may have a medicine allergy. This is, indeed, unfortunate.
An allergic reaction can be life-threatening condition. It is an over-reaction of the immune system to a substance known as an allergen. Allergens are protein-like chemicals that can occur in nature, such as certain foods like eggs and peanuts, plants, mold, and pollen. It can also occur to certain medications.
Symptoms of an allergic reaction can be as slight as a runny nose or as severe as death. When a person is exposed to an allergen, what can occur, especially when it is a pollen borne allergen, is a runny nose, itchy eyes, itchy throat, sneezing, cough, and then can go on with wheezing and asthma-like symptoms.
Some allergic reactions consists of rash. When a person takes in certain chemicals sometimes their body will reaction by having a skin irritation or rash.
Chemicals that are notorious for doing this are chemicals that contain Sulfa. Sulfa is an inorganic chemical that is found in a lot of different food products and in several kinds of medicines.
Some chemicals, even if they just touch the skin, can lead to an allergic reaction; chemicals, such as poison ivy, or inorganic chemicals, such as nickel.
A lot of people do not realize that ear - rings and other rings are not 100 percent pure gold, but they have an alloy and that alloy is usually nickel.
When a person has an allergic reaction to nickel, they can form a blistering - like rash at the site that the nickel hastouched.
One of the worst kind of reactions is known as an anaphylactic reaction in which the whole body shuts down. It can be due to plants such as peanuts, medications such as Penicillin; it can occur to a bee sting.
When it occurs, some people will react with a severe rash that includes their whole body which quickly leads to shortness of breath, breathing difficulties and entire cardiovascular collapse. Contrary to popular belief, allergic reactions to not always occur the first time a person is exposed to an allergen. It is usually only after a person has been exposed that the severe reaction will occur.
It is a good idea to avoid foods, plants, chemicals, and medications that you are allergic to. A person should always keep a list of all medications that they are allergic to. They should announce this to the physician each time the physician is going to prescribe a medication. It is by doing this that there is less risk of developing a severe reaction to a medication.
Allergic reactions occur to all types of chemicals, plants, and medicines. If a person is subject to these reactions, they should see their family doctor for complete evaluation. There are many treatments for allergic reactions. If a person is allergic to grass, pollens, trees, tobacco, and insects, some of these persons may need injections to desensitize to the allergens.

You can count on finding a U.S. Census form in your mailbox this month. Every household across the nation will be asked to answer 10 simple questions and mail the form back by April 1.
The count affects millions of dollars of funding for local schools, health care, social services, transportation and more. To make sure every man, woman and child in Pasadena is counted, the city has teamed up with non-profit groups citywide to encourage everyone’s participation. You can take part in Pasadena’s 10-Day Countdown to Census 2010—from March 23 to April 1—and watch for the opening of questionnaire assistance centers in mid-March, when you can ask questions one-on-one.
If you haven’t mailed back your form by mid-April, a Census worker will contact you by phone, mail or in person. Play it safe and avoid potential scams or identity theft by following these tips:
- If you’re visited by a Census worker, make sure he or she has a badge, a Department of Commerce Census Bureau canvas bag, and a confidentiality leaflet before you answer any questions.
An official U.S. Census worker will not ask to enter a home.
- An official U.S. Census worker will never ask your legal status, or ask you for a social security, bank account, or credit card number.
- You will never receive an official email from the U.S. Census Bureau, so don’t open any email that claims to be from that agency.
- All information is strictly confidential and cannot be shared with anyone, including police and immigration agencies.
For more information about avoiding scams visit www.cityofpasadena.net/census_2010 or call the Pasadena Police Department at 744-4241.

As vaccinations bring the pandemic towards a conclusion and restrictions slowly begin to lift, many people will be eager to return to their old lives. While there are certainly some parts of the pandemic era best confined to the history books, others won’t be dispensed with straight away. Streaming services like Zoom kept friends and families together through lockdowns, and they have their place in the post-pandemic future.
#1 Bring live events to a larger audience
Although this was done prior to the pandemic, its popularity soared during the lockdowns. Streaming a live event like a play, concert or speech is a simple and cost-effective way to bring it to a much larger audience. Depending on the event, you might need a complex, multi-camera setup, but smaller scale endeavors will require just one, front facing device. The beauty of this method is that it brings events to massive audiences. People aren’t bound by geography and might reasonably attend an event from a different country or the other side of the world. Selling virtual tickets at a discounted price is a useful way of increasing your profit margins, too.
#2 Live stream worship
Churches can benefit massively from streaming services. Using a church live stream solution you can reach a much larger congregation and connect family and friends who might be divided by huge spans of distance. Bringing worship into people’s homes is genuinely revolutionary and something that simply wouldn’t have been possible a few years ago. Better still, if any members of the congregation are old or struggle with mobility, then a live stream is life changing. They’ll be able to attend services that might otherwise have been impossible to reach. This, of course, means comfort as well as both mental and spiritual wellbeing.
#3 Instant customer service
Perhaps not as inspiring as the previous two options, instant customer service is nonetheless vital for businesses and customers alike. Being able to resolve questions and problems quickly and efficiently is important. To this end, a face-to-face chat can make all the difference. Being able to get in contact with a live customer service team via video messaging software is much better than speaking over the phone. Customers can show the problem directly, making it much easier for the agent to give the right advice. Video chat is just more personal, too, and many customers prefer to speak to someone directly.
#4 Live tours
Virtual tours of landmarks like the Great Wall of China and galleries like the Louvre were extremely popular during the pandemic, but there’s no reason for them to stop now. Travelling to these locations is expensive and difficult, meaning that many people miss out on experiencing them. By offering virtual, video streamed tours people can visit a place of cultural significance without even leaving their own home. It might not be a full substitute for physical travel, but it opens the world up to more people and means that nobody, regardless of their economic position, needs to miss out on a wonder. Tours are simple to arrange and can be ticketed in much the same way as virtual events like concerts. | <urn:uuid:cee13648-b96c-4459-ab4d-5fea1399aa6d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.netnewsledger.com/2021/11/09/4-creative-ways-to-use-streaming-tools-after-the-pandemic/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571502.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811194507-20220811224507-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.963847 | 627 | 1.578125 | 2 |
The COVID-19 has probably brought idle time for most people, which has made them more intrigued to learn more in the near future. This is where people are looking forward to experts that can shed light on the skills to learn if one wants to build a career in 2020. In this regard, we conversed with the board member of Agaoglu and the CEO of Agaoglu Concept to know the skills that are best to be learned in 2020 as per his opinion. Onur Agaoglu is not only the CEO of Agaoglu Concept but also a nephew of Ali Ibrahim, who is a nephew of Forbes’s billionaire businessman. He shares some of the essential points regarding the new skills to be learned in 2020. To know more about his viewpoints to transform your career in 2020, continue reading.
We are honored to have you with us, Sir. You have been an inspiration to a lot of people and one of those people who can provide us with the details on the skills that are in demand in 2020. What advice would you like to give in respect to learning a skill in this pandemic?
Onur Agaoglu – thank you for the kind words. It is essential for the people, especially youngsters, to select the right domain that intrigues them and helps them achieve a good grip on the particular skill. Moreover, one needs to know his interest before watching out for a skill to learn.
Which is the appropriate platform for learning a new skill?
Considering the current situation and worldwide lock-down, I would definitely recommend an online platform to learn new skills. For example, there are various online platforms such as Udemy, Coursera, and many more, providing a range of courses for people to learn new skills in this pandemic.
Why do most people choose skills like content marketing, digital marketing, SEO, and e-commerce?
Well, this is due to the change in the world that is shifting from the physical world to the online world. All of the skills mentioned above are the ones that are associated with online businesses somehow. That’s why the skills mentioned earlier are in demand for years and will continue to be the most demanding skills in the future.
What are the other skills that can be learned online in quarantine?
It depends on the person what he is trying to pursue in the near future. For example, if a person is looking to be an entrepreneur in the near future, he should learn courses like digital marketing to ace in the future.
What are the best skills that can give a boost to one’s income?
Well, skills are not directly proportional to earning. There is a lot more than earning. However, if we are talking about the skills that can be beneficial in terms of earning, then it will definitely be web designing, PHP development, and other skills relevant to web development.
Coming to the last question, what would you advise to people who are keen on learning new skills?
The one thing that I would advise is to be consistent and never stop learning. Even if you have learned a particular skill, you must have to continue learning in order to evolve in a particular field. Therefore, one has to be consistent and keen on learning to ace in a particular field.
Thank you very much for being a part of today’s conversation and for sharing important information with our audience. We are sure that it will help our audience know how to make their quarantine productive.
I am honored to be a part of this interaction, and I really hope the readers will find this conversation interesting and helpful regarding their queries. | <urn:uuid:f0d8115f-540a-4969-b103-d7d0c451c1e2> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://thevistek.com/the-skills-to-learn-in-order-to-transform-your-career-in-2020-from-agaoglu-concept-ceo-onur-agaoglu/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570692.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807181008-20220807211008-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.973116 | 734 | 1.617188 | 2 |

The sunflower vegetables in the garden are lush and green, and the crystal dew is waiting for the sun to shine.
Spring brings sunshine, rain and dew to the earth, and everything is full of life and thriving.
I am often afraid that the chilling autumn will come, and the leaves will turn yellow and all the grass will wither.
Hundreds of rivers galloping eastward into the sea, when will they be able to return to the west again?
If you don’t work hard when you are young and strong, it is useless to be sad when you are old.

Capitalizing Dog Breeds
Whether you capitalize a dog's breed depends on the origin of the breed name.
In general, the rule for dog (and cat) breeds is to capitalize the part of the name derived from a proper noun and lowercase the part of the name derived from a common noun.
In the following examples, "English" and "Yorkshire" are derived from proper nouns—the names of places—and thus should be capitalized. On the other hand, "mastiff" is derived from the Latin "mansuétus" for "tame or mild," and "terrier" is derived from Old French "chien terrier" for "dog of the earth, land, or ground"—both common nouns, which means those parts should not be capitalized.
When in doubt, consult a dictionary.

There are two ways to drive between Queenstown and Wanaka, and this one is the most memorable. It's the highest main road in New Zealand.
The Crown Range lies between Queenstown and Wanaka. The road over the range, known as the Crown Range Road, is the highest main road in New Zealand. It reaches an altitude of 1121 metres, which does bring challenges. In winter, the road is often covered in snow and ice, making for very difficult driving conditions.
If you plan to drive the Crown Range between May and September, you need to make sure you are carrying chains and know how to fit them. Read our winter driving tips here. During the summer months the road can be busy, so make sure you go slow and stay alert.
While the Crown Range Road is a shorter distance to journey between Queenstown and Wanaka, travel time is longer and the road is much more challenging than the usual route through Cromwell. You should also allow time to stop and admire the massive views, which are often accompanied by amusing encounters with kea (mountain parrots).
If you're setting out from the Queenstown end of the road, look for the clearly marked turnoff just past Lake Hayes. The road zigzags up to the Crown Terrace and from there you can look down to Arrowtown in the Arrow Valley, and across to the Remarkables Range.
The road then climbs steeply to the summit, where you'll be able to see Frankton, part of Lake Wakatipu and Queenstown. For another impressive view, leave your car and walk up the track to the lookout. On the Wanaka side of the range, the road crosses a plateau of farmland and descends steadily along Cardrona Valley. On the left is the Crown Range; on the right the Criffle Range. This land around here is old goldmining country - piles of tailings can still be seen. The historic Cardrona Hotel is one of New Zealand's oldest - there are many interesting local artefacts on display in the bar and restaurant.
If you are thinking about driving over the Crown Range, always check the road conditions before setting off, especially in winter when chains are often required. If you are an inexperienced driver, or are unfamiliar with New Zealand’s road conditions, your trip will be much more enjoyable if you take the more frequently travelled route through Cromwell. | <urn:uuid:990972ce-ec44-444e-85e7-478170b82734> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.newzealand.com/au/feature/the-crown-range/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719273.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00064-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.957687 | 494 | 1.601563 | 2 |
Mt Clermont Gold Project
Location and Tenure
The Clermont Project, EPM 14116 (Figure 10) is located in the southern part of the Drummond Basin in Central Queensland, approximately 60 km by road north-west of the town at Emerald and 330 km from the nearest regional port at Rockhampton (Figure 11).
The Mt Clermont tenement is accessible by well-maintained gravel tracks leading off the nearby bitumen Gregory Highway linking Clermont to Emerald. Access is possible all year except after occasional summer tropical storms when roads may be blocked due to flooding for short periods.
Physiography and climate
The Clermont region that includes the project area comprises a mature continental landscape composed of eroded rounded hills and plains. The climate is subtropical without a distinct dry season, although most rain falls during the summer. The average annual rainfall is about 640 mm (Bureau of Meteorology, 2014).
The Mt Clermont tenement covers predominantly flat, cleared pastoral land dissected by Retro Creek. The district was part of the Brigalow Development Scheme in the 1960s with large-scale clearing of the brigalow scrub by mechanical means. The large new farming blocks opened up by the clearing of the brigalow lent itself to the broad land growing of grain and cereal crops, particularly sunflower and sorghum.
Emerald, 60 km to the southeast, has a humid subtropical climate with hot, relatively wet summers and mild, dry winters. Maximum temperatures range from 34 °C in January to 22 °C in July, while minimums range from 22 °C to 7 °C. The average annual rainfall is 641 mm. The wettest year on record was 1407.2 mm in 1956. Extremes of temperature have ranged from 48.6 °C to −5.6 °C, while the wettest 24 hours on record was 182.0 mm on 25 February 1975.
Impact Minerals carried out exploration at Mt Clermont between 2016 and 2019. This work included mapping and collecting grab samples, RC drilling and an IP geophysical survey along the Retro Fault System to confirm the potential for epithermal mineralisation over its 10 km of strike length (Figure 14 and Figure 15).
At Retro Extended is a gold-bearing quartz reef/vein system. A mineralised vein system was defined by this drilling over 200 m of strike and 75 m depth (Figure 16).
Impact in 2018 and 2019 drilled 17 RC and one diamond hole for a total of 2,843.5 m along the Retro Fault System as well as rock chip and soil geochemistry and IP resistivity and conductivity geophysical surveys. This work extended the total strike of mineralisation at Retro Extended up to 1,200 m and up to 125 m below the surface. | <urn:uuid:53e516f2-8fed-432a-bb5b-8ce4127b1b52> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://australasiangold.com/mt-clermont/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571472.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811133823-20220811163823-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.925518 | 596 | 2.421875 | 2 |
System fails again in Westminster
The linked story is about a 4 year old disabled girl returned to her parents who then physically abused her over a period of 7 weeks notwithstanding visits from the Social Services - who were told she was away.
Why does this happen?
1. The system relies upon "experts reports" and opinion as to what might happen.
2. The system does not respond efficiently and/or quickly to real reports of problems.
3. The system is arrogant assuming that the "procedures" are the solution to all problems and ignoring information that conflicts with the plan.
4. This particular child was disabled and hence less likely to be adopted so social services are under target pressure to return this type of child to the parents.
In a sense this is a good example arguing that the system is incapable of judging risk and needs instead to judge facts. | <urn:uuid:ff491862-f134-49c5-81c5-4d7b3af32ba0> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://johnhemming.blogspot.com/2007/02/system-fails-again-in-westminster.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988717963.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183837-00375-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.966096 | 178 | 1.640625 | 2 |
As a large corporation in the business of connecting people socially, Facebook frequently falls victim to rumors and scams. One such scam occurred first in 2006, when a hoax quickly spread claiming that Facebook was to remove all inactive or unverified accounts unless the reader took action, usually involving reposting the warning. The hoax resurfaced regularly, and in early 2011 a Facebook worm used the "warning" to convince users to install a malicious Facebook app that reposted the message on the unsuspecting user's own profile. As of March 2012, Facebook hasn't announced any initiative to remove accounts in bulk. However, it disables individual accounts that violate its statement of rights and responsibilities.
Worms, Viruses and Hoaxes
The terms "virus" and "worm" are often interchangeable when referring to malicious links in Facebook posts. Using the fact that Facebook users are linked by friendship and trust, most Facebook worms and viruses spread by posting a message to your wall or timeline, designed to entice your friends to click on a link. Some worms go a step further, posting to the wall of each friend. Some viruses use Facebook only to propagate, with the link leading to software that installs elsewhere on your computer to steal passwords or other information. Others simply propagate with the goal of causing havoc among Facebook users. Still others are not malicious applications at all but hoaxes crafted to convince people to repost a message designed to mislead or incite the reader. Facebook doesn't generally make official statements on each virus, worm or host within its system, but a Web search with the contents of a suspicious post may reveal its true nature.
Disabling Unverified Accounts
Although Facebook has never announced bulk removal of unverified accounts, the company can and does take action against individual accounts that use false information such as fake names, unlikely birth dates and other unverifiable information. This includes profiles that use a business name instead of the account owner's proper name. If your account is disabled, you'll see the notification "Disabled" when you sign in. In some instances, Facebook may send a warning before disabling the account, but in other instances it may disable the account without warning. Ensure that your company's page, as well as your personal profile, plays by Facebook's rules.
Facebook account verification isn't the same as account confirmation, which occurs when you first create your personal Facebook profile. Confirmation enables you to use your personal account after you sign up. Although account verification isn't required, according to Facebook the best way to verify your account is to add a mobile phone number. Facebook then sends a text message to your phone with a confirmation code, which you enter into the appropriate box to complete the process. Verifying your account in this manner enables you to create a customized URL for your profile and upload videos directly to Facebook.
When you create a page for your company, you must use Facebook's Pages feature and not a profile. Profiles are intended to represent real people, not entities, and Facebook may disable a profile that uses a company name. Although you may also create a Facebook company page without first signing in with personal credentials, a page created in this manner has limited functionality. Likewise, don't create a dummy account to administer your business page. Instead, designate administrators who have personal Facebook profiles conforming to the company's terms of service. By default, all of your page's administrators will post to the page as the name of the page itself. To delegate administrators, sign into Facebook and navigate to your page. Click the "Edit Page" button, "Manage Admins" and type the name or email address of each person you want to administer the page. The best practice of all may be to avoid granting permission to any Facebook app or reposting information whose origin you haven't verified. It may be tough to keep from acting on information that appears to come from a trusted personal friend, and that's exactly why Facebook viruses can spread so quickly.

Catholic-Jewish Panel Focuses on Mideast
March 13, 2008 - Bryan Schwartzman
At a recent Saint Joseph's University event -- one which was supposed to examine Israel's 60th anniversary from the perspective of Catholic-Jewish relations ...
The Jewish voice at the program, Rabbi Eugene Korn -- who directs the Center for Christian-Jewish Understanding at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Conn. -- argued that the paramount question facing the Middle East is whether or not the majority of Muslims will be able to adapt to non-Muslims living in the region as equals.
Korn, who previously directed interreligious affairs for the Anti-Defamation League, said that such a development would obviously be important for Jews and the State of Israel, but also for Christians of all denominations, who in recent years have faced increased persecution in places like Egypt, Iraq and the Palestinian territories.
He cited the city of Bethlehem in the West Bank, where, in the past 15 years, the Christian population has dropped from 80 percent of the total population to less than 20 percent, all due, he claimed, to hostility directed toward Christians.
"I would argue that the more Israel is accepted in the Middle East, the more the issue of equality and dignity of non-Muslims will be accepted," said Korn, author of the recently published The Jewish Connection to Israel, the Promised Land: A Brief Introduction for Christians ...

Rabbi Eugene Korn Creating a "Catholic" Golem
Zionist ethnic and religious cleansing has caused most of the indigenous Christians of Palestine and Lebanon to flee to safety in other nations. Rabbi Eugene Korn, who is director of the misnamed Center for Christian-Jewish Understanding at Sacred Heart University, blames this Zionist crime on the Muslims whom Christians lived alongside for centuries before the Zionists arrived. He then goes on to conflate the interests of Christians with Zionism, squaring Christians off against Muslims. He also alleges that the problems in the Middle East stem from Muslim inability to treat non-Muslims as equals. Korn's projection of his own problematic supremacist ideology onto others is patent. Rabbi Korn is a sorcerer summoning a "Catholic" golem to fight his battles. He and others like him have been quite successful in this endeavor. | <urn:uuid:025ce9a5-fae8-4029-8dd4-015cfc1dbb97> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://mauricepinay.blogspot.com/2008/03/rabbi-eugene-korn-creating-catholic.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560281649.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095121-00441-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.953517 | 464 | 2.171875 | 2 |
Weed 101 – Terpenes
If you are familiar with cannabis, chances are you’ve heard about the basics, such as Indica, Sativa and Hybrid strains, and cannabinoids such as THC & CBD. These are great starting points in understanding cannabis, but another important piece of the puzzle to learn about are Terpenes (terps for short). Read on to see why!
DANK SKANKY WEED
Terpenes are naturally occurring compounds that are responsible for the aroma of many plants, and contribute to their unique flavour. Whether a cannabisuer or totally new to the weed game, the majority can identify that distinct aroma of cannabis. Sometimes described as dank, gassy, or even skunky, the indisputable smell of weed is brought to us by, that’s right – terpenes.
TERPENES ARE EVERYWHERE (NOT JUST IN POT!)
From trees, to flowers and herbs, terpenes are found in all of them. Using the aromatic properties of terpenes is actually not a new concept. They have been used in many applications, from perfumes, cosmetics, insect repellants down to essential oils, the fragrant aromas that are enjoyed daily can be associated back to individual terpene profiles.
A common terp in cannabis strains such as Lemon Z, is Limonene. When Limonene is used as an essential oil, it can provide an uplifting mood boost. That same positive mood benefit that the limonene offers in the essential oil, is the same benefit when found in Cannabis products. A common question about them is “Will the terpenes get you high?” No, it is the THC that gets you stoned, but understanding the terpenes will help one tailor the nature of their high.
THC – CBD – TERPENES
If you’ve ever noticed little glandular hairs covering your bud with a sparkling crystal like finish, those are Trichomes. Trichomes have resin glands which is where both terpenes and cannabinoids THC and CBD are produced. When it comes to weed, Terps and Cannabinoids (THC/CBD) have a mutually beneficial relationship. The combination of the two is a major influence in giving each cannabis strain its’ unique profile. In each strain there can be multiple terpenes, all with different amounts present.
POPULAR WEED TERPS
Thus far, around 120 terpenes have been found in the cannabis plant. With that being said, there are some that are much more common. For the purpose of this quick guide, let’s explore the Top 7 Terpenes that are found in Cannabis.
TOP FOUND TERPENES IN WEED
Caryophyllen has been known to be a stress-relieving terpene. Cannabis strains with high Caryophyllene have a distinct funk and musky aroma.
Myrcene is known for its sedating, relaxing effects, more often than not if a strain is high in Myrcene it is typically an Indica dominant strain.
Aside from delivering the distinct forest-like fragrance, pinene has many potential therapeutic properties. Most notable is Anti-inflammatory effects.
Limonene is known for its uplifting mood boosting effects.
The Linalool terpene has an effect on the serotonin receptor. Linalool is known to have a relaxing effect.
Humulene gives off earthy, woody, and spicy notes. Fun fact, this is the same terpene that gives hoppy beers their distinct taste.
Terpinolene is found in many strains, however, mostly in smaller quantities. It is believed to have uplifting effects. | <urn:uuid:c16a251d-fdd6-4ece-b052-20dedec42a02> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://douglasdalecannabis.com/tag/calgary-local-dispensary/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571090.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809215803-20220810005803-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.946646 | 810 | 1.765625 | 2 |
Cameron plans to bar British jihadis from coming home. Is that legal?
Prime Minister Cameron announced a raft of new laws meant to prevent British citizens returning from Syria and Iraq from radicalizing. But observers say the plan is likely to run afoul of preexisting human rights laws.
The plan gives the government power to block suspected fighters, including teenagers, from returning to Britain for two years unless they comply with strict measures. It fulfills Mr. Cameron's promise to Parliament in September to introduce new antiterror laws, a response to the potential threat of IS-trained militants carrying out attacks in Britain.
Cameron announced the plans in a speech to the Australian Parliament before traveling to the Group of 20 summit in Brisbane. He said Britain had to take action to deal with the threat posed by "foreign fighters planning attacks against our people," Agence France-Presse reports.
Under temporary exclusion orders, suspected terrorists will have their passports canceled and be put on a no-fly list to prevent them from returning to Britain. The policy will allow them to reenter the country only if they consent to face prosecution, home detention, regular police monitoring, or take a deradicalization course, The Guardian reports.
The orders, which will require the Home Secretary's approval, would be issued on the basis of "reasonable suspicion of involvement in terrorist activity," AFP reports.
The proposal forms part of Britain's counter-terrorism bill, which is due to be published before the end of the month. The prime minister's office said it hope the bill would be law by the end of January.
The bill also gives police and some border officers the power to seize passports if they suspect someone is traveling abroad for terror-related activities.
BBC political correspondent Robin Brant writes that the plan announced Friday is highly contentious. He mentions serious legal concerns about "whether it is workable given other established laws on citizenship, immigration, and human rights."
Government officials designed the plan to minimize claims that the exclusion orders will make British citizens stateless by barring them from entering their home country, The Guardian reports. The government hopes to avoid the issue by giving people the option of returning under tough conditions. But it appears likely to face challenges from human right advocates. As the Guardian explains:
Britain is signatory to two UN conventions on statelessness, and the former Conservative attorney general Dominic Grieve has previously said removing an individual's passport on even a temporary basis is likely to be a legal non-starter.
The planned rules open the possibility of a suspect who refuses to return to the UK to face trial being left marooned outside the UK for an extended period, an arrangement that is unlikely to be popular if they are trapped on the European mainland.
More than 500 British citizens have traveled to Iraq and Syria to fight with IS, The Telegraph reports, about half of whom are thought to have returned to Britain. More than 200 people have been arrested for terror-related threats in the country over the past year.
"As well as dealing with the consequences of this threat, we also have to address its root cause. And let's be frank," Cameron said in his speech on Friday, according to The Telegraph. "The root cause of the challenge we face is the extremist narrative. So we must confront this extremism in all its forms. We must ban extremist preachers from our countries. We must root out extremism from our schools, universities and prisons." | <urn:uuid:687599b0-9bcd-401e-98df-d1aa3fb2e3fe> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Europe/2014/1114/Cameron-plans-to-bar-British-jihadis-from-coming-home.-Is-that-legal | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560279169.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095119-00211-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.959332 | 699 | 1.75 | 2 |
Inconsistencies and Unanswered Questions: The Risks of Trusting the Snowden Story
Last June, Glenn Greenwald at The Guardian revealed that Edward Snowden was the NSA insider behind “one of the most significant leaks in US political history.” Snowden explained his motivations through Greenwald by saying, “There are more important things than money…. harming people isn’t my goal. Transparency is.”
Such altruistic motivations were welcome news at the time but have come into question recently given that only a tiny fraction of the documents have been released nearly a year after Snowden started working with Greenwald. Perhaps more importantly, billionaire Pierre Omidyar is funding Greenwald’s slow release of those documents. It is worth noting that Omidyar’s Paypal Corporation has links to the NSA.
It was originally reported that the number of documents Snowden had stolen was in the thousands. Today, however, that number is said to be nearly two million. This calls into question Snowden’s early statement, as reported by Greenwald, that he “carefully evaluated every single document to ensure that each was legitimately in the public interest.” The huge, new number also reveals that less than one tenth of one percent of the documents (only about 900) have actually been released to the public.
How could Snowden have “carefully evaluated every single” one of what is now being said to be nearly two million documents? He only worked for Booz Allen Hamilton for a few months. According to NSA Director Keith Alexander, Snowden also worked directly for NSA for twelve months prior to that, which is interesting. But still, that would require carefully evaluating thousands of documents a day during that entire time. Didn’t he have a job apart from that?
Journalist Margie Burns asked some good questions back in June that have not yet been answered. She wondered about the 29-year old Snowden who had been a U.S. Army Special Forces recruit, a covert CIA operative, and an NSA employee in various capacities, all in just a few, short years. Burns asked “How, exactly, did Snowden get his series of NSA jobs? Did he apply through regular channels? Was it through someone he knew? Who recommended him? Who were his references for a string of six-figure, high-level security jobs? Are there any safeguards in place so that red flags go up when a subcontractor jumps from job to job, especially in high-level clearance positions?”
Five months later, journalists Mark Ames and Yasha Levine investigated some of the businesses in which Greenwald’s benefactor Omidyar had invested. They found that the actual practices of those businesses were considerably less humanitarian than the outward appearance of Omidyar’s ventures often portray. The result was that Omidyar took down references to at least one of those businesses from his website. | <urn:uuid:70732d59-75b3-4b6d-9367-36c60f1d67cc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://potentnews.com/2014/01/03/inconsistencies-and-unanswered-questions-the-risks-of-trusting-the-snowden-story/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573163.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818033705-20220818063705-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.984921 | 595 | 1.96875 | 2 |
Filed by the giant from Cupertino a patent that will make Apple Glass adaptable to different defects of vision, allowing you to wear them without additional lenses or contact lenses
Apple Glass is one of the most anticipated products on the market in recent years. For some time now, there has been online speculation about the physical characteristics of the product. What is certain is the impact that glasses will have on our routine making the world of augmented reality accessible to everyone. The last detail is provided by patent No. US010686922, filed on June 16, 2020.
In the text of the patent, the last in a long series, they describe a system for modifying the configuration of the optical components of the key device of the glasses. In practice, the company has patented a new method that modifies the characteristics of the display according to each medical needs. This improvement would allow Apple Glasses to be gilded without having to wear contact lenses or eyeglasses at the same time.
The latest information leaked talks about the product launch in mid 2021. The market price is expected to be around $500 (approximately €450). The other characteristics of the glasses should be defined instead. Confirmed the presence of a LIDAR scanner for distance recognition, fundamental for augmented reality. The possibility of having cameras on the glasses, instead, is going away, due to evident privacy problems. We just have to wait and be ready for what will be a revolution in our way of life. | <urn:uuid:d3412864-1b96-4e2d-9e7e-0aa6aa472916> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.thepatent.news/2020/06/19/thanks-to-a-new-patent-apple-glasses-will-be-graduated/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573399.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818185216-20220818215216-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.947733 | 300 | 1.9375 | 2 |

Business ethics--Philosophy; Critical thinking--Study and teaching
This dissertation is an original synthesis of the critical thinking system developed by Richard Paul (“Paulian CT”) and business ethics classroom teaching in the discipline of Philosophy. The project offers a full textbook for a 16-week college course in business ethics taught through the lends of Philosophy. This textbook is intended to teach business ethics in a critical manner, something often claimed by Philosophy textbooks but, according to this dissertation's literature review, never delivered upon. This textbook is the first business ethics textbook structured for criticality, to teach in ways that are supported by critical approaches, which set up the conditions for readers to teach themselves to think through the material to arrive at original, evidence-based conclusions, as opposed to didactic approaches, which merely tell the reader what to think. The goal of my text is to teach readers to identify and reason through ethical issues in business. The textbook is also deeply interdisciplinary and teaches its readers to reason in an interdisciplinary way. Of the critical structures in the textbook, many are made explicit to maximize a student thinking through the content. Others are hidden, however, since the student is meant to focus upon the content of the course, while getting much of the critical thinking accomplished along the way by doing the work requested of the textbook. These hidden critical structures are brought out in the dissertation, which analyzes the structural features of the text to provide a key for using it with maximum effectiveness for criticality. The dissertation also justifies the textbook's existence with a literature review of recent textbooks and scholarly articles published in Philosophy, Economics, and Critical Thinking, and it helps readers understand the shift from didactic to critical educational paradigms for teachers.

Introducing Ally Roeker, Author of “To Be An Essential Worker: An Exploration of Rhetoric During COVID-19”
Ally Roeker (She/Her) is a 21-year-old student at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She will graduate in the spring of 2022 and is triple majoring in English, Communication Studies, and Writing. During her college experience, Ally was tasked to write an article that would later become her published piece in Young Scholars in Writing titled “To Be An Essential Worker: An Exploration of Rhetoric During COVID-19.”
Ally started her article for an independent study class and was given free rein to research any topic she wanted for the assignment. She decided to focus on essential workers’ experiences during the pandemic; her interest in this choice stemming from her previous experience working in retail gave her some understanding of the struggles essential workers were facing. She also notes that having the freedom of topic selection ultimately helped her to feel proud of her writing and follow her preferred methods of working.
At the beginning of this class, Ally was asked if she would want to publish, beginning her publishing journey when she answered that she would. Her professor, who also worked at Young Scholars in Writing as an editor, helped her through submitting her piece. Ally’s professor encouraged her and thought the topic was a good fit for the journal, greatly influencing her to go through with her decision to submit. Reflecting on this time, she says that if it wasn’t for her professor, she might not have made the deadline.
Ally enjoys academia and explains that personal motivation was part of the challenge. However, encouragement from her professor continued to help her through the process. Roeker says it was an overall “intensive process” but that she didn’t experience any submission issues with Young Scholars in Writing, adding that the process for submitting her piece was actually quite easy. She had to turn in forms along with her article, and then she waited for an answer from YSW.
Reflecting on her experience, Roeker explains that most of the difficulty in the process stemmed from researching her topic, as retail work is often overlooked as “bad” or “inconsequential.” She also had to edit her article repeatedly and put a lot more effort, thought, and time into updating the piece during her revisions. Roeker ends the discussion of her experience by saying that Young Scholars in Writing enriched her life, and she has had a good experience working with the undergraduate journal.
Ally finishes with a piece of advice to students who want to contribute to the journal, urging undergraduate researchers to pick a good topic, go for it, and lay it all out there because it is free to submit, so you have nothing to lose.

carry out these critical functions for BB/BS at a program cost of approximately $1,000 per year per match.
The P/PV evaluation, plus its 2 years of experience with JUMP, led OJJDP to modify the project design guidelines in its 1996 JUMP solicitation to reflect the lat- est knowledge about what works—and does not work—in mentoring. Based on the P/PV study, OJJDP expanded the guideline on mentor support and training, emphasizing that the program coordina- tor should have frequent contact with parents or guardians, volunteers, and youth and should provide assistance when requested or as problems arise. This guideline also specifies the type of training mentors should receive. From its JUMP experience, OJJDP inserted a guide- line on the role of the mentor, added a caution about time limitations that may interfere with the effectiveness of college undergraduate or graduate students as mentors, suggested that parents should have a say in the selection of mentors, called for screening mechanisms to weed out volunteers who will not keep their commitments, and established minimum expectations for the time mentors should spend with youth (1 hour per week for at least 1 year).
OJJDP is required by Congress to sub- mit a report regarding the success and effectiveness of JUMP initiatives 120 days after their termination. Evaluations are critical to ensuring that mentoring pro- grams operate as designed and meet their goals in terms of both the process and the impact on youth.
To prepare for the timely initiation of evaluation activities once the grantee is chosen for the national evaluation, OJJDP directed its management evaluation con- tractor, Caliber Associates, to design an evaluation and prepare for initial data collection. The JUMP evaluation will be accomplished through a partnership among the grantees, OJJDP, and the JUMP evaluation grantee. Caliber produced a workbook containing an overview of the JUMP initiative and the national evalua- tion that defined the roles of OJJDP, the evaluator, and JUMP grantees. Caliber also pilot tested grantee administration of data collection instruments and con-
ducted followup interviews of participat- ing grantees. Once the grantee for the evaluation is selected, Caliber also will help coordinate the transition to the evaluation grantee. Selection of the evalu- ation grantee is expected to take place in spring 1997.
Although formal evaluations have not yet been implemented, the mentoring pro- grams funded under JUMP appear to be making a difference in the lives of many young people. The preliminary accom- plishments of a few of the OJJDP-funded mentoring programs are highlighted below.
The Big Brothers/Big Sisters of south- west Idaho have made 41 matches of at- risk youth and mentors in this JUMP project. According to parents and teach- ers familiar with the program, 30 percent of the youth who participated in the pro- gram showed improvement in their school attendance, 30 percent showed academic improvement, 35 percent showed improvement in their general be- havior, and 48 percent increased the fre- quency of appropriate interactions with peers. For example, a female being raised by her father was matched to a female volunteer and, after the match, scored higher in measures of grades, self- satisfaction, self-esteem, positive attitude toward others, and pride in appearance.
Project Caring Connections in New York City provides 30 youth with caring relation- ships with adult mentors from corpora- tions and the community. As an integral part of the Liberty Partnerships Program, it offers a comprehensive range of services from academic enrichment to cultural ex- periences to a safe environment in which young people can learn social skills. During afterschool hours, Project Caring Connec- tions mentors work with students one-to- one or in a group to provide academic sup- port, job shadowing (going to the mentor’s workplace), and social and cultural enrich- ment. Through the program, at-risk stu- dents may gain exposure to publishing, theater, law, art, government, and business and also do community service. This past year, some youth were able to serve as panelists on a cable news show and dis- cuss crime in their communities, curfews, and the importance of staying in school.
Big Sisters of Colorado, in Denver, matched 59 girls, mostly Hispanic, with mentors. Program activities funded by OJJDP included a Life Choices program to develop decisionmaking and academic skills; recreation, community service, and challenge course activities; a pregnancy-
prevention program; and mentor visits to the girls’ schools. None of these girls have become pregnant or had problems with alcohol or drugs since their involve- ment in the program.
Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Pensacola, Florida, is a JUMP initiative in which 26 youth from single-parent families who are at risk for juvenile delinquency, teen pregnancy, truancy, and dropping out of school are being mentored by legal pro- fessionals, members of the military, cor- porate employees, and others. The youth are actively encouraged to stay in school and meet the goals in their individualized case plans. All have had increased expo- sure to athletic, recreational, and cultural activities, and many have demonstrated improved social and academic skills. The program has also engaged youth in a 3-day Kids N Kops police mini-academy. This innovative program provides mentoring and training by police officers and educates youth about the dangers of drugs, guns, and gangs while strengthen- ing the relationship between police and at-risk youth.
The Cincinnati Youth Collaborative in Ohio matched 136 youth and volunteers in its first year in JUMP. Mentors include doctors, dentists, lawyers, judges, teach- ers, chemists, police officers, nurses, waiters, postal clerks, travel agents, and college students. Some special activities were a trip to New York City, visits to col- lege campuses, a community bowl-a- thon, job shadowing, and participation in a school beautification project. The project reports that 99 of the 136 young people have improved academically and 102 have improved socially.
The RESCUE Youth mentoring pro- gram in Los Angeles, California, was de- veloped and implemented by the Los An- geles County District Attorney’s Office, in conjunction with the Los Angeles County Fire Department, to rescue youth ages 12 to 14 at the earliest signs of at-risk be- havior. The district attorney’s staff match the students with volunteer firefighter mentors in an effort to address truancy, juvenile delinquency, and potentially se- rious criminal behavior. Through this JUMP initiative, mentors worked with 140 youth on their communication and conflict resolution skills and provided training in fire prevention and first aid.
The JUMP projects offer many success stories, including the following examples.

Research has shown that athletes and other individuals who take on intense physical exercise tend to perform better if they take a cup of coffee. So, if you are trying to get the most out of your workout sessions then you should consider investing in a decent cup of coffee.
How coffee can help?
Caffeine acts as a stimulant for the heart and the central nervous system. Both of which play a vital role in performing any physical movement. So, by stimulating these, coffee helps you in pushing yourself harder and perform a more extensive workout. Many nutritionists suggest that caffeine also increases the release of dopamine and other such neurotransmitters which make you feel better. This affects your mood while working out and your pain receptors. So, basically caffeine allows you to enjoy exercises which make you sweat and it also helps you in completing your intense reps. Nutritionists also suggest that if someone performed a workout after taking a coffee then they ate 72 fewer calories later that day. This helps them in keeping their cravings in check.
What is the best time to take coffee before a workout?
If you do decide to take a cup of coffee before hitting the gym in the morning then you should carefully consider the time of intake. Because timing plays a vital role in this regard. It takes roughly 15 to 45 minutes for caffeine to be absorbed from the stomach after the consumption. However, it takes from 30 to 75 minutes for the peak stimulatory effects to be put in place. Therefore, the optimal time for taking a cup of coffee is 1 hour before your morning workout.
You should also take other fluids before a workout
It is important that you stock your body with an appropriate amount of fluids before performing a fluid. Although, coffee counts as a fluid, you need other fluids as well. So, you should consume 7-12 ounces of water in addition to your coffee before your workout. The best time for taking other fluids is one to two hours ahead of your workout.
How much coffee should I consume?
You need to keep an eye on the amount of caffeine you are taking. Because having too much of it can have a purgative effect and surely you don’t want that. Consuming too much caffeine can lead to dehydration during your workout which is not a good thing. Hence, keep an eye on how many cups of coffee are you taking.
What kind of coffee should I take?
You should take coffee with a tamed flavor. So if you prefer to take black coffee then you should consider adding some shots of milk to it. You will get additional carbs and proteins
regardless of whether you choose soy or real diary. These additional nutrients can help in boosting your blood sugar and allow you to perform tough tasks.

Bringing our attention and glamour seeking eyes to the harsh realities of luxury, the book titled 'Sustainable Luxury and Social Entrepreneurship' is an impressive and persuasive read!
By: Soumya Jain
Posted on: September 26, 2014
Sustainable Luxury is probably a vague term in everyone’s mind. You know what sustainable means, but ‘sustainable luxury’? Miguel Angel Gardetti and Maria Eugenia Giron not only helped me to make a proper definition, but also showed its necessity and examples where it can be a viable business option for luxury brand owners and managers!
As I leafed through their book, ‘Sustainable Luxury and Social Entrepreneurship: Stories from the Pioneers’, each page inspired me. Citing instances of destruction and extinction, and the ways which companies and brands have adopted to reverse them, the book made for an informative morning read.
Aptly, the book defines the sustainability of a brand by traceability. Can you trace back to where the product is made, by whom, and with what? That will help you in ensuring a sustainable brand according to the editors. Mr Gardetti, very profoundly, mentions that sustainable luxury is taking luxury back to its original meaning.
Unputdownable, the book served as a reminder of how exclusive bags don’t have to necessarily be made of crocodile bags to make money, but have to be more respectful towards humanity and nature to be able to survive.
The book starts with a short and powerful foreword by Oskar Metsavaht, founder and CEO of Osklen, on entrepreneurship and how it has to go hand-in-hand with originality. A Brazilian brand which sells winter coats, Mr Metsavaht chose to promote the ideals of Brazil rather than dispelling them like many do today.
Introductions by Mr Gardetti and Ms Giron are quite eye opening as they highlight examples, case studies and surveys.
“The most scarce and desirable commodity today is a healthy planet, one that brims with a diversity of life forms, clean air to breathe and clear water to enjoy. Essentially a planet just as we have known it or better, for our children and grandchildren and our grandchildren’s grandchildren.”
Saying this, Ms Giron strikes a note which communicates the importance of the planet more than anything. Class, exclusivity, riches - they all come later in the life cycle. Understanding this, brands like Ermenegildo Zegna and Loro Piana have stepped up to do their bit. The editors explain their work in detail as they tell about their efforts in increasing the population of vicunas, from a shocking 5,000 to 350,000. As a mead to their good work, LVMH recently acquired Loro Piana, raising their brand equity significantly! Similarly, Tiffany & Co. has made a conscious decision to stop producing coral jewelry to preserve the few coral reefs in the world.
The editors have, then, invited some entrepreneurs with sustainable luxury brands to tell their story. They have specifically chosen brands and companies which have crossed the first levels of uncertainty and are now financially successful ventures. Interestingly, they have also given a financial chart of all these companies, which highlight their turnover and profits to prove so.
These entrepreneur stories are educative, inspiring and so real, that you can almost imagine these people sitting in front of you and telling their incredible journeys. People like you and me, devoid of any glamour, you can absolutely relate to their tales, written in their own, non-academic language - a feature which I greatly appreciate.
Belts, bags and accessories made of fire hose; a unique product which you can trace to its weaver and creator; cosmetics made of pure, natural ingredients; products made of the long lost Peruvian wool…these are just some examples of what sustainable luxury entrepreneurs have bought to the table - and successfully. I only wish their were some color photographs of these products which encouraged me to dream on for a better world.
Not choosing to give more details about these brands and companies, I would highly recommend purchasing this book, sitting in a corner wrapped in a shawl and keeping a freshly brewed coffee next to you. It can give those hot selling fiction thrillers a run for their money!

This trail will take you through the old river gum trees beside the Murray River and passes by farming properties. Local Aboriginal artist Tommy McRae (c.1835– 1901) would wander this area and lived at Lake Moodemere for a number of years. At the end of Kilborn road is the Historic John Foord Pioneer Cemetery. A plaque commemorates the centenary year of the burial of John Foord II (1819 - 1883). He was the pioneer of the Wahgunyah Run and the township developed on his property. Foord named his 30,000 acre property Wahgunyah which was said to be a Whroo, the local Indigenous people’s name for ‘big camp’. | <urn:uuid:eefa2a24-ce31-4c60-9b09-d40073b60aba> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.explorerutherglen.com.au/listing/wahgunyah-river-track/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571284.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811103305-20220811133305-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.967813 | 147 | 1.65625 | 2 |
This is a name of mysterious plateau hidden from curious eyes in offspurs of Zerafshan range 30 km from Samarkand not far away from Urgut. Rocks here look like fantastic sculptural masterpieces – frozen demons, idols of the ancient gods, petrified prehistorical monsters. Among them you can find the figures of animals (a bear, a tiger, a huge a frog, a pangolin, a bird of prey) and cut off giant’s head.
As local residents say, this place is not very good, once upon a time on a high plateau mysterious rituals were held by local pagans. Wizards gathered around the altar and performed sacrifices. Maybe that’s why there are almost no trees and flowers growing on this land. Only in spring small water sources break through, reminiscent of the victorious or defeated water element. | <urn:uuid:6fcfd8df-1c59-4bac-b1b3-9f25e6b2ae99> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://topstartour.com/sights/shaitan-zhiga-helmet-of-the-devil/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.923065 | 176 | 1.828125 | 2 |
With 205 km of lines, 303 stations and over 1.5 billion passengers carried each year, the Paris metro is one of the world’s most practical. But its current appearance is the result of a long history, and that of a man: Fulgence Bienvenue.
During the industrial revolution, the Second Empire tries to modernize the capital by building railways. The “ring road“, a double track surrounding Paris built in 1852, does not solve the problem of inner Paris transport.
In 1863, London opens the world’s first underground railway. New York followed in 1868, Chicago in 1892, Budapest in 1896. At least, After several years of discussions between the State and the City of Paris, it was decided in 1895 to build an urban network in Paris, which goal is first to open for the 1900 World Fair, then to build 6 lines until 1911.
The project is assigned to a Bretonengineer: Fulgence Bienvenue. Born in 1852, he lost his left arm in 1881 in a work accident. What didnt’t put a stop to climb one by one the ranks until becoming Technician Chief of the Metropolitan in 1898.
This project is one of the most important of the 20th century, one that will definitely bring Paris in the industrial era, lagging behind London and New York. But the works, which cause huge changes in the city, also stirred up parisians anger.
On April 14, 1900, the goal is almost reached, but the World Fair opens without subway. Line 1, which connects Porte Maillot and Porte de Vincennes, will be operational on July 19, 1900. The start of a long history… And an immediate success : in five months, 4 million passengers use the Paris metro.
Follow the lines 2, 3, 5, 4 … In 1910, the 6 lines planned in 1898 are done.
Fulgence Bienvenue directed until 1932 works of new lines. He only didn’t oversee 2 lines (plus some extensions of existing lines): the 11 (1935) and the 14 (1998).

Frequently we look for political solutions to income inequality and the wealth gap. While the issues can be improved slightly from political action, there are two additional ways to close the wealth gap and level income.
Politics is the messiest way to fix these problems and history offers ample warning for those who seek answers from this source. One need not look further than Mao’s China or Stalin’s Russia to see how abysmal political leveling can be. North Korea is a modern example of how not to level the playing field.
Let’s turn our attention to the second way income inequality can be reduced. Walter Scheidel in his book The Great Leveler provides what he calls the “Four Horsemen” of leveling: war, revolution, collapse and plague. Historically these four horsemen have been the leading cause of leveling income and wealth.
Once again this is not a comforting thought. You can read Scheidel’s work for an in-depth review of his research. The record is clear, however; it takes great dislocation, pain, suffering and death for income and wealth to level naturally. | <urn:uuid:f936fcf7-2f0d-48af-91cf-465ae1299d42> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.wealthyaccountant.com/tag/politics/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572304.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816120802-20220816150802-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.93903 | 230 | 2.375 | 2 |

The salinity series shows a general decline in values and increase in noise towards the end of the record. This is likely to be a result of biofouling of the conductivity sensor and the data should be regarded as suspect. No flags have been added to the data as it is impossible to identify a point at which the decline in data quality begins. There is a pronounced decrease in salinity that coincides with the increased noise in the temperature series. A similar feature is observed in an instrument at a comparable depth on a nearby mooring (713).
Temperature data are extremely noisy between cycles 2650 and 5300. This covers the summer period, when waters might be expected to be stratified, and this particular current meter is located at 37 m depth, so could lie on the thermocline, leading to noisy data. A similar feature is observed in an instrument at a comparable depth on a nearby mooring (713). No points have been flagged.

Aanderaa Recording Current Meter Model 7/8
Manufacturer's specifications: recording unit height 49.5cm (RCM8 52.0cm), diameter 12.8cm, vane size 48.5x50.0cm. Meter is designed for depths down to 2000m (RCM8 6000m). It incorporates a spindle which is shackled to the mooring line. The meter is attached to the spindle through a gimbal mounting which permits a maximum 27° deviation of the spindle from the vertical, the meter still remaining horizontal.
Meter comprises :
Paddle wheel rotor magnetically coupled to an electronic counter
Vane, which aligns instrument with current flow, has a balance weight ensuring static balance and tail fins to ensure dynamic balance in flows up to 250cm/s.
Magnetic compass (needle is clamped to potentiometer ring) - direction recorded with 0.35° resolution, 5° accuracy for speeds 5 to 100cm/s, 7.5° accuracy for remaining speeds within 2.5 to 200cm/s range.
Quartz clock, accuracy better than 2 sec/day within temperature range 0 to 20°C.
Thermistor (temperature sensor), standard range -2.46 to 21.48°C (max on high range 36.04°C), accuracy 0.05°C, resolution 0.1 per cent of range, 63 per cent response time 12sec.
Inductive cell conductivity sensor (optional), range 0 to 70mmho/cm standard resolution 0.1 per cent of range.
Silicon piezoresistive bridge, standard range 0 to 3000 psi (RCM8 to 9000 psi), resolution 0.1% of range.
Self balancing potentiometer which converts the output from each sensor into a 10 bit binary number for storage on magnetic tape.
A built-in clock triggers the instrument at preset intervals and up to six channels are sampled in sequence. Channel 1 is a fixed reference reading for control purposes and data identification. Channels 2, 3 and 4 represent measurement of temperature, conductivity and pressure. Channels 5 and 6 represent the VECTOR AVERAGED current speed and direction since the previous triggering of the instrument. The number of rotor revolutions and the direction is sampled every 12 seconds and broken into North and East components. Successive components are added and recorded as speed and direction. For recording intervals longer than 10 minutes, speed and direction are sampled 1/50th of recording interval.
It has become common practice in some laboratories to deploy these meters as temperature and conductivity loggers without current measuring capabilities.

Originator's Data Processing
The Aanderaa RCM7 current meters deployed at the East Shetland 2 site had sampling frequencies of 2 readings per hour. The instruments included temperature and conductivity sensors.
DAF applied the standard manufacturers' calibrations to all current, temperature and salinity data, and produced ASCII files for submission to BODC. Data files were named according to the mooring code (712) and the instrument number (1 or 2). Each current meter file (7121/7122) contained eastward and northward velocities, and temperature. Salinity data for each instrument were provided in a separate file (append s).

Nepal has asked India for transshipment privileges and permission to use the electronic cargo tracking system (ECTS) on Nepal-bound cargo at Kolkata port too.
Nepal has been receiving transshipment privileges at Vishakhapatnam port and using the ECTS on cargo dispatched from there since August.
Containers sent from Vishakhapatnam are transported directly to the Birgunj Inland Container Depot. This facility is not available for consignments leaving Kolkata port.
The ECTS uses the Global Positioning System, a satellite-based radio navigation system, and allows the shipper to keep track of consignments. Traders have to pay Rs4,200 extra per container to fit the ECTS. But it helps to reduce the overall cost of trading since they can avoid paying demurrage and detention charges because cargo movement is faster.
The ECTS was implemented as a pilot project at Kolkata port last April. The scheme had to be discontinued because Indian shippers were not keen on using it, traders said.
According to the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies, a large number of containers dispatched from Kolkata port lack the ECTS and transshipment facilities.
Importers have to produce letters of credit and paperwork issued by the Department of Commerce and the Nepali Consulate General, among others, to get customs clearance at the Indian port. No such documentation is needed at Vishakhapatnam port.
“We are requesting Indian authorities to provide similar facilities for cargo at Kolkata port too,” said a ministry official. “Containers leaving Vishakhapatnam arrive at the Birgunj dry port in seven to 10 days, and the shipping company assumes the responsibility to take back the empty containers,” he said.
On June 6, 2017, the governments of Nepal and India agreed to pilot the use of the ECTS to facilitate traffic-in-transit between the two countries on selected routes by signing a memorandum of intent.
Freight forwarders said the implementation of the ECTS and transshipment privileges at Vishakhapatnam had helped speed up the movement of Nepali cargo at Kolkata port too.
“As a large number of Nepal-bound containers are being sent through Vishakhapatnam port, it has eased pressure at Kolkata port; and customs clearance has become faster,” said Rajan Sharma, former president of the Nepal Freight Forwarders Association.
According to Sharma, at least 800 Nepal-bound consignments used to get stuck almost every week. “The number has come down to 200-300 per week, and most of the importers are meeting the deadline of 14-21 days turnaround time” said Sharma. He added that the turnaround time of containers had gone up 120 days when the ECTS was not in place.
The Asian Development Bank, the financier of the ECTS programme, has appointed Transecur Telematics, a subsidiary of the Bhimsaria Group, to implement the system. Transecur Telematics was selected through a global tender.

Addiction is a psychological and physical inability to stop consuming a chemical, drug, or substance, or stop engaging in an activity, even though it is causing you significant harm. The harm it causes can take many forms – physical and mental health of course, but also school and work impacts, relationship stress and loss, legal/criminal implications, and financial stress to name a few.
How do you know if you are addicted? There are many signs and symptoms of addiction, and they vary according to the focus of the addiction. Several common symptoms include: Inability to stop taking the substance, or engaging in the activity, despite it’s harmful effects; Feelings of guilt, shame, hopelessness resulting from the addiction; Obsession with the object of addiction; Engaging in risky behavior to feed the addiction.
There are a variety of approaches for treating addiction, ranging from self-help groups, residential rehabilitation programs, and medical interventions. Individual addictions counseling at Counsel Connections Alpharetta can be a beneficial addition to these approaches, or a stand alone option, providing you with the personalized care and attention you need to meet your goals. We design our addictions counseling to address the needs of each client on an individual basis, recognizing that often there are many other contributing factors to be gently worked on as well. We also welcome the families and loved ones of those addicted to participate in their own counseling for support and understanding relating to the many challenges they face. | <urn:uuid:72fcace5-094b-46d6-b37a-32604dd8f00e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://counselconnections.com/what-we-do/addiction-counseling/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570879.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809003642-20220809033642-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.954503 | 296 | 2.1875 | 2 |
do u have to expand it to derive it easier? how do u expand that?
do the same thing here. when you want to find the derivative with respect to , say, just imagine that everything else is a constant, and differentiate as you normally would
see? can you apply this to what you are doing?
maybe "y" was a bad letter to use, because it is usually used to mean "a function of x". that is not how it is meant here. it is just some other variable that is treated as a constant when differentiating with respect to x

Shrinking deer herds reason for concern as hunters become enamored with elk
Two decades ago, Colorado and other western states with a long tradition of quality mule deer hunting realized their deer herds were in trouble.
Harvest was declining and worse, interest from hunters was dropping.
Many hunters, aware that deer numbers were declining but unsure of what to do to help the herds, simply stopped pursuing mule deer as a voluntary method of sustaining the herds.
Get around a group of hunters today and you still can hear arguments debating whether it was over-hunting, loss of habitat, predation or the explosion of elk herds as being the main contributor to the shrinking deer herds.
It easily might have been all three in equal amounts, but no one yet really knows for sure.
Colorado, maybe more than other states, particularly was hurt by the mule deer decline because only a few years earlier this state was renowned nationally for its deer herds and the quality of the hunting.
National sporting magazines frequently carried articles on Colorado mule deer hunting and deer hunters were a major source of income for Western Slope businesses and the Colorado Division of Wildlife.
Looking back on the early 1980s to late 1990s, you can graph the fall of deer hunting in direct correlation with an accelerating rise in elk herds and elk hunting.
Hunters quickly became enamored with chasing elk and not unexpectedly the Division of Wildlife followed suit, actively managing elk herds to provide more opportunity wherever possible across the Western Slope.
It’s like songstress and poet Joni Mitchell once lamented: When things are going well (the deer herds seemed to be doing fine with minimal attention), “you don’t know what you got until it’s gone.”
Fortunately both for the deer and deer hunters, the Division never really lost sight of its deer herds.
When the hunting community (hunters, guides, outfitters and related businesses) stepped forward with its concerns, that added more impetus to the Division’s desire to restore deer hunting back to (or at least similar to) its former glory.
The seemingly drastic step of adopting totally limited deer licenses in 1999 was a major and not universally popular move but it certainly revealed the state’s determination to do whatever might be necessary to bring back the deer.
Limiting the availability of licenses showed positive results within a few years as hunters reported seeing more and bigger bucks while harvest and participation numbers edged up.
However, it wasn’t only a matter of cutting back on licenses, there also was a renewed emphasis on mule-deer research.
Colorado’s wildlife agency has long been a leader in mammal research and over the past 40 years or so there have been many notable studies on mule deer that contribute not only to hunting but also preserving one of the West’s iconic species.
Colorado, in fact, is one of the very few states that still has a research program in its wildlife agency (many states now rely on their public universities to provide research).
More recently, along with winter deer-survival studies on the Uncompahgre Plateau and in the Piceance Basin, Division researchers have been conducting a multi-year study of buck mule deer survival in Middle Park.
According to researcher Eric Bergman, the project will develop a population baseline in Middle Park and then adjust hunting licenses to impact the buck-to-doe ratios in the area.
There’s always been the theory that bucks don’t survive winters as well as does because bucks go into the winter stressed by rut, which leaves them both physically and nutritionally drained.
However, except for some post-winter field counts of deer carcasses, there’s not been any conclusive data to support this theory.
Bergman’s most recent project will attempt to provide some answers on how well bucks survive.
“It’s extremely important for managers to know if there are differences between survival rates of bucks, does and fawns when we manage herds for different objectives,” Bergman said. “For instance, in some areas we may be managing for a post-hunt ratio of 45 bucks per 100 does while in other areas we may be managing for a post-hunt ratio of 25 bucks per 100 does.
“We’ve learned that we can effectively accomplish this, but we don’t know if the over-winter survival of bucks under these two conditions is different.”
Bergman will introduce his study at meetings in Granby (Feb. 1) and Kremmling (Feb. 2) but you can find a background on this and other mule deer research at the DOW website,wildlife.state.co.us.

libdir - A Common Format for Pd Libraries
Since more and more people are building collections of objects written in Pd, it makes sense to have a common library format. This library format should be easy to create, install, and use. It should work when installed into the global path (i.e. pd/extra) or when copied locally into a project folder. It should work with objects written in any supported language (i.e. binaries, .pd, and the various loaders like pdlua and pdtcl).
Libdirs can be used in the "dirlib" approach without any modification. This approach uses [declare] to add each library's folder to the path of the given patch instead of loading the libdir like a library.
Including in the Help Browser
Having a standard library format means that the Help Browser tree can be dynamically built based on the libraries that are installed. In order for this to work well, there needs to be a standard, otherwise the code will be far too complicated. This then opens the door for using more meta data in the help browser.
Here is the basic structure of a libdir:
mylibrary-\ |\_mylibrary.pd_linux (shared binary lib) | |\_mylibrary-meta.pd | |\_my_pd_object.pd | |\_my_pd_object-help.pd | |\_my_c_object.pd_linux | |\_my_c_object-help.pd | |\_README.txt | |\_LICENSE.txt | |\_manual--\ | |\_index.html | | | |\_etc... | \_examples |\_awesomeexample.pd | |\_evenbetter.pd | |\_etc...
mylibrary-meta.pd tags this folder as a library. It is a Pd patch that contains meta data about the library. The most basic meta data is *author*, *description*, *license*, etc. The meta patch also includes a reference to the loader if the objects are something other than a Pd patch or compiled DLL (.pd_darwin, .pd_linux, .dll, etc). i.e., it would have the object [loader/python] in the patch.
What works now
Ultimately, the meta file will be read for meta data, specifically for the auto-generated Help system, the loaders, and maybe for other things too. Right now, it has some human readable information and is used as a marker that a directory is meant to be a library. Plus its much easier to implement it this way, I can use open_via_path() instead of writing a new function. The grand plan is to have one directory hold the objects, help files, manuals, etc. making it a self-contained library.
Currently two paths are added to the helppath. The first supports having the help files in a complete library directory format, where everything is in one folder. The help meta system needs to be implemented for this to work with the new Help menu/browser system. Ultimately, /path/to/extra will have to be added to sys_helppath in order for this to work properly.
META Data --bbogart, Thu, 23 Mar 2006 21:13:51 +0100
I think if the meta-data applies to the whole directory (libdir) and its only containing META data, and not also acting as a breakout point for documentation, then it should be plaintext. Being able to edit the metafile for me is not enough reason to warrent the inefficiency of parsing a PD file for text-only information.
meta file as .pd --hans, Thu, 23 Mar 2006 21:49:44 +0100
the advantage with .pd format is that it makes loading language-specific loaders quite simple. Basically, when Pd opens a libdir, it first opens the meta file. In the meta file, the loader is included as an object. So Pd opening the meta patch loads the loader.Just as if you type [Gem]? in an object box loads the Gem lib. This could change in the future, but this smooths the implementation along the way.
Re: doc vs extra --hans, Thu, 23 Mar 2006 21:50:14 +0100
Ultimately yes. Not implemented yet.
simpler meta file --hans, Wed, 06 Jan 2010 22:07:18 +0100
I was thinking that the file could be called just 'meta.pd' to make it really simple... then the name of the library comes from the directory name alone. | <urn:uuid:0ef4d319-5b24-4857-b65f-dda5e917c1f1> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://puredata.info/docs/developer/Libdir | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560281069.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095121-00265-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.880274 | 988 | 2.1875 | 2 |
Introduction to Australia
Currency: Australian Dollar
Head of State: Elizabeth II
Prime Minister: Julia Gillard
The Commonwealth of Nations (in particular New Zealand) and the US.
It's very big. Either it's the largest island in the world, or the smallest continent, but either way it's a very big country. It's not very densely populated, though, with the majority of the population living in towns along its long coastline, with particular concentration in the big cities of its eastern coast.
The big empty spaces aren't just good to look at, as they contain a large amount of many essential natural resources. Political philosophy: Australia became independent from the British Empire in 1901, and maintains good relations with Britain, but even better ones with the United States.
As the dominant power in the South Pacific, a representative of Australia has considerable influence over regional issues. Australia isn't just a big fish in a small pond (which, ironically, is the largest ocean in the world) , however, as its military strength and economic resources allow it to involve itself in many conflicts and problems around the world.
If there's an international effort to do something, Australia is usually playing a significant role in this.
Australia is a wealthy country, with its natural resources helping it considerably. It is a leading proponent of free trade, with agreements with the US, New Zealand and the Association of South East Asian Nations, so if there are free trade talks, Australia will probably be in them.
Australia is a nation forever on the up. With strong links to many of the world's fastest growing economies, it looks set to be in a strong position for the future.
Australia takes an active role in world affairs and is a very likely country to continue to do so. | <urn:uuid:c3353d84-d144-450c-8cac-6e558398adf6> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/wiki/Australia_mun | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560282202.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095122-00557-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952482 | 361 | 3.109375 | 3 |
MIAMI (WSVN) - Firing guns into the air on New Year’s Eve is not only dangerous, but is also an illegal form of celebration in South Florida. Police are using a high tech tracker to find those gunshots and the people who pull the trigger.
On Oct. 10, 44 gunshots were fired in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood. The shootout was recorded by ShotSpotter. It’s technology can pinpoint where and when shots are fired.
The City of Miami Police Department has used ShotSpotter for more than two years.
Dawn Budham, City of Miami Police emergency dispatch supervisor: “The alert goes off, lets us know the specific area, if it’s one shot, multiple shots and lets us know if it’s on the east or west side of an avenue, north or south of a street. We can hear the different types of weapons that were used. The system will tell us if it’s a high powered weapon.”
ShotSpotter works through a network of sensors that are mounted in secret locations in Little Haiti, Liberty City and Overtown.
In March of 2015, just after ShotSpotter went online, it recorded the gunfire that killed an innocent child.
Detective Jorge Agrait, Miami PD: “You’re hearing three shots in the location of Northwest Fourth Court.”
Ten-year-old Marlon Eason was shot in the head while playing in front of his house. ShotSpotter alerted officers to the shots and where they came from.
Detective Jorge Agrait: “A block away, there were three casings that were found.”
That discovery helped police eventually make an arrest.
Detective Jorge Agrait: “I think it’s a great system. It’s a great tool. It helps out a lot with investigations, time frames.”
Miami Police Officer Daniel Mocombe: “It’s all about safety, being safe out here.”
Mocombe has answered many ShotSpotter calls. He said the technology gives police vital information, especially when people don’t tell the truth.
Officer Daniel Mocombe: “Let’s say you have kids playing with a firearm in his backyard, but then he may lie about it. It’s like, no. It happened right here, and when you go searching that backyard, you find it.”
That’s especially important during holidays like New Year’s Eve since it can help police find people who are celebrating by firing weapons into the air. Those bullets can come down and injure — or even kill.
Dawn Budham: “It does not get confused. It is very sensitive to the fact that if it’s the Fourth of July or New Year’s, it knows the difference between a firearm and firecrackers.”
Several departments are using the technology, including Miami Gardens Police, and Miami-Dade Police are currently installing it; although it’s not operational yet. Others, like the Broward Sheriff’s Office, tested the system but decided not to use it.
But for Miami Police Officers, it’s a tool they’re glad to have in their arsenal of crime fighting weapons during the holidays and throughout the year.

Chinese Kung Fu has been around for over 2,500 years, and remains one of the superior systems that have promoted health over the centuries. Most of the traditional Chinese Kung Fu systems such as Wing Chun are based on cultivating energy through mental focus and deep physical relaxation. Recent medical research has found that regular practice of Internal Kung Fu, such as Wing Chun or Tai Chi, enhances immune function, lowers the blood pressure and produces a host of other medically valuable physiological changes. It also improves balance and posture; through relaxation and mind-body co-operation, one can rebalance and bring forth correct alignment in the spine and the rest of the body. If left untreated, postural imbalances can dramatically reduce flexibility, restrict physical movement and decrease quality of life. That’s why the uses of Chinese Kung Fu have been prescribed by Chinese traditions for overall internal and external health.
The Mindful Wing Chun system, as passed down by the late Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin, put great emphasis on mental calm, balance, correct posture and mindful relaxation. Relaxation plays an important role in our health. In asthmatics, for example, relaxation training has been found to widen restricted respiratory passages. In some diabetics, relaxation can reduce the need for insulin. In many patients with chronic, unbearable pain, the training has brought about significant relief. Through Western scientific research, we now know that anxiety and an inability to deal with stress have a damaging effect on the mind and body, and it’s a proven fact that rapidly progressing ill health often goes hand-in-hand with not being able to relax. Moreover, research shows that relaxation may help ward off disease by making people less susceptible to viruses, and by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
The medical advantages come not from ordinary relaxing activities such as catnaps or gardening, but rather from “deep relaxation” obtained from intensive techniques that allow people to evoke a specific physiological state. “Just sitting quietly or, say, watching television, is not enough to produce the physiological changes; you need to use a relaxation technique that will break the train of everyday thought, and decrease the activity of the sympathetic nervous system,” says Herbert Benson, director of the Division of Behavioral Medicine at Beth Israel Hospital, part of Harvard Medical School in Boston.
Before we continue, here’s a video about mindful relaxation in which Nima King discusses the physiological differences between normal and mindful relaxation:
From deep relaxation, one can promote deep natural breathing and improved blood circulation, and also bring forth the flow of Chi (life energy, or, as our teacher, Grandmaster Chu Shong called it, “Nim Lik”) in the body. If practised correctly, some of the internal arts (e.g., Wing Chun, Tai Chi and Yoga) can provide relief to sick or physically weak people without them needing to rely on drugs, medicine or surgery. These arts are designed to build up the practitioners’ immune system and bodily awareness and improve the physiological functioning. They co-ordinate the natural movement of the body with the mind and unblock and release the flow of Chi within the body. Chi / Nim Lik is the circulating life energy that in Chinese philosophy is thought to be inherent in all living things. The study of Chinese medicine shows that some illnesses occur when the flow of Chi is impaired. To treat these illnesses, the “life energy” or Chi must be made to flow in a natural way within the body. Our teacher, Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin, had attained such a high level of control of this life energy that it could be tangibly felt and experienced by others.
Check out this video of him demonstrating the use of Chi:
But let’s leave the topic of Chi aside for a moment and ask a very simple question: Why is it that we can’t just stay calm and relaxed throughout our daily lives? Let’s think about that: It’s our own body and mind, so when there’s excess tension in our bodies that leads to discomfort or pain, why can’t we control, release and open the body to rid ourselves of discomfort?
The main reason for this is lack of connection between our body and our mind. In our current culture and lifestyle, we’re always thinking. Our thoughts run wild, jumping uncontrollably from one subject to the next. To add to this, with the constant advancements in technology, we have a whole different world to live in: the cyber world, so we spend hours every day with our awareness inside the smart phone or tablet rather than on our own body. Scientists call this frontal-lobe thinking. Through experiments on and observations of the brain and body, they’ve made astonishing findings when examining a person who is stressed due to unnecessary overthinking, compared to someone who is calm and in control of their mind (for example a seasoned meditator).
Thanks to these detailed studies, we now understand the unhealthy effects of excess frontal-lobe thinking. In other words, by overusing the prefrontal cortex at the front of the brain, which is used for thinking, stressing and calculating, we are not only out of touch with our body but are also causing it harm. They found that by being able to shut off the prefrontal cortex of the brain we are able to gain better access to the rear part of the brain, leading to ultimate human performance. They called it “ultimate human performance” because they saw that productivity, strength and overall performance increased by an astonishing 500%!
The remarkable findings were that the rear part of the brain is responsible for healing, creativity, relaxation, motor skills and much more. Furthermore, frontal-lobe thinking uses up 10 times more energy than the rear part, so when we shut that down and naturally activate the back part of the brain, a great deal of energy is saved, and it can then be used for repair and healing. Needless to say, this mindful state is a natural remedy for stress, which doctors now agree is the leading cause of many illnesses.
These new scientific findings are highly relevant and interesting because Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin, who had mind-boggling control over his body and mind, told us that his feeling was that he was using the back part of his brain to gain such incredible internal access to and control over his body. He often said he couldn’t explain how or why he was able to have such control, however the feedback from his mind was that there was not much thinking or analyzing in his movements. Instead, he said, the feedback from his body was that he was feeling total and deep relaxation and had amazing control over his muscular and skeletal system. It’s appropriate to also mention at this point that as a child he was very frail and weak and would get ill regularly. He started practising Wing Chun when he was in his late teens. From the age of 22 until he passed away, the doctors told him on three separate occasions that he was going to die (from stomach problems to low white blood cell counts to cancer), yet he managed to teach until he passed away at the age of 82.
Check out the following video on this topic:
If practised correctly, this is truly the power of the internal art of Wing Chun! A group of neurologists have termed the deactivation of the prefrontal cortex “the flow state”, and at Mindful Wing Chun we call it “the Nim Tao State”. In this state we gain the ability to activate the rear section of the brain and thus reap all the benefits and control that come with that.
In terms of self-defence, why is it not just a martial art like Karate, Judo or Kick Boxing, and why is it so much more powerful and efficient? In terms of health, why is it so different from going to the gym, going for a run or playing a sport? In terms of pain relief, how is it that we can literally manipulate and heal our body with our intention instead of going for a massage or seeing a chiropractor? In terms of stress relief, why is it much better than a temporary fix of watching TV or having a beer? And in terms of a lifestyle, how is it that Wing Chun enables us to feel happier, more confident and more in control?
These are all questions that we can answer better now through our own understanding and through scientific facts, but we now know that ultimately a person needs to experience these facts to truly understand them. Consider this: If you’d never tasted salt before and we spent hours trying to explain what it tastes like, then no matter how intelligent you were you’d never truly understand what we meant until you actually tasted the salt for yourself. The genuine and internal style of Wing Chun is exactly the same. It’s not just a martial art and it’s not just a healthy hobby – once practised and understood correctly, it’s a system that will have a positive influence on so many levels of your life! The benefits of this art are very real and don’t take very long to experience, regardless of your gender, age or fitness level. That’s why Wing Chun can become very addictive for those who are exposed to it!
Here’s a summary of the benefits to be gained from prolonged and correct practice of Mindful Wing Chun:
• Deep relaxation
• Postural correction and proper body alignment
• Pain relief
• Stress relief
• Improved mental focus and concentration
• Holistic awareness of the body
• Improved health of the spine and nervous system
• Improved organ function
• Enhanced immune function and lower blood pressure
• Overall emotional balancing and health for the mind, body and spirit, leading to a happier life! | <urn:uuid:084db6d0-b6da-424b-beb1-34d7229131e9> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://mindfulwingchun.com.hk/the-health-benefits-of-wing-chun/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573172.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818063910-20220818093910-00276.warc.gz | en | 0.960209 | 2,017 | 2.90625 | 3 |
The Web site of one of China's Internet security organizations has been laced with malicious code.
CISRT said the attack takes advantage of vulnerabilities associated with an ActiveX control in the BaoFeng Storm multimedia player. The iframe loads scripts that download more malicious code to a victim's machine, Trend Micro said. One of the downloaders is named "sms.exe."
CISRT apologized for the problems on its blog. "We are very sorry that when sometimes visiting our ... pages, malicious codes are inserted," it said.
How the code appears on CISRT's Web site was unclear. CISRT said it may be an Address Resolution Protocol attack, where data sent from a server to a PC can be manipulated or tainted.
Curiously, the attack appears to affect visitors to the site only intermittently, according to the security company Sunnet Beskerming Pty. Ltd.
"This is actually quite an interesting method that will extend the useful life of a hack by making it harder to isolate and investigate," the company said in its blog. "With intermittent attacks on visitors, it also means that investigators need to look at all of the intermediate connections between site visitors and the Web site."
China has been accused by the West of state-sponsored hacking, although government officials have denied it and said they also have been under attack. Security analysts have warned of China's highly-skilled hacking community. | <urn:uuid:a2c59787-0ff3-46ee-8147-654475d6c0ce> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/article/196772/malicious_code_infects_chinese_security_site/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560282935.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095122-00243-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.956051 | 289 | 1.929688 | 2 |
Circular air flow
Unlike traditional 4-Way Cassette units1, which create areas of uneven airflow2, the 360 Cassette reaches every single corner of a room or space. Its circular outlet blows cool air in every direction. The bladeless design keeps things comfortably cool without creating a cold draft3, and without blades blocking the airfl ow it sends 25 % more air even further1.
1 Samsung testing compares the 360° Cassette to a conventional 4-Way Cassette type air conditioner.
2 The temperature difference is less than 0.6°C within a 9.3 m radius.
3 No cold draft between 0–1.5 m in height (with a 14.0 kW indoor unit) within a 5 m radius.
The air supply is easily adjusted without the use of flaps. Three booster fans work to alter the direction of airflow from within the cassette’s hollow space. A rain-like distribution of the air (known as the ‘coanda’effect) keeps the room cool and comfortable at all times. The innovative technology overcomes the usual limits of the conventional outlets that use blades, as they obstruct the air at low angles and cause asignificant low airflow1. The Motion Detector Sensor (MDS) is available for the 360 Cassette.
1 Based on internal testing compared to a general 4-Way Cassette air conditioner.
*Not all features are available for all models.
Circular LED display
The unit features a stylish panel and an intuitive Circular LED display, which allows users to choose or adjust the direction of the airfl ow with an intuitive wireless (jog shuttle) wireless remote controller. Besides the LED Display also monitors other essential operating information, such as the filter the air flow direction, fi lter status and any errors. So, with just one glance, you can quickly tell where the air is going and how your 360 Cassette is performing.
The 360 Cassette has an innovative circular design that enables it to match a multitude of interior designs, that adds a touch of style to any room. Its minimalist and elegant styling can help to create a sophisticated and distinctive look in many different sites. With a circular panel, it can fi t into a very tiny ceiling space of just 225 mm1, so it gives you much greater fl exibility as it can be installed in a wider choice of locations. The 360 Cassette is available in black or white, in a square or circular design, and can be fi tted within the ceiling or exposed on any material.

A Study on the Image Perception of Men`s Casual Wear Using Photograph and Computer Simulation Picture
Kang, Seung-Hee ; Lee, Myoung-Hee ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Clothing and Textiles, volume 33, issue 1, 2009, Pages 1~10
DOI : 10.5850/JKSCT.2009.33.1.001
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the types and the colors of men`s casual wear, hairstyles, and the methods of stimulus manufacture on men`s image perception. The subjects were 360 women from the metropolitan area of Seoul. The clothing types used for the study were a sweater and a jumper(casual jacket) with jean pants. The clothing colors were beige, indigo, and red. Two hairstyles, the short and the medium length hairs, were compared. Two types of stimuli, the photograph and the computer simulation picture, were used. The results of the factor analysis disclosed five dimensions on men`s image: neatness, individuality, ability, activity, and sociability. In general, the photograph stimuli were evaluated more positively in activity, individuality, and sociability than the picture stimuli. The sweaters were perceived higher in ability, activity, and sociability than the jumpers. The Indigo color was evaluated as neat. The medium length hairstyles were perceived as neat and the short hairstyles were perceived as sociable. The jumpers were evaluated lower in individuality in the picture stimuli than in the photograph stimuli. The beige and indigo colors were evaluated to be neater in the picture stimuli than in the photograph. When using the picture stimuli, the men`s image wearing the sweaters with the medium length hairstyles were evaluated lower in individuality. When using the photograph stimuli, the men`s image wearing the sweater with the short hairstyles were evaluated higher in activity. Men`s image wearing the indigo jumper and the beige sweater with medium length hairs were evaluated as high in neatness.

Lee, Eun-Hye ; Jung, Jin-A ; Jo, Jin-Sook ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Clothing and Textiles, volume 33, issue 1, 2009, Pages 11~21
DOI : 10.5850/JKSCT.2009.33.1.011
It is remarkable that the children`s wear market has been growing instead of declining birth rate. The parents are willing to pay more when they find children`s wear of better design and improved quality. For better quality, it is necessary to research on the pattern making of children`s wear. After the interview with the 10 leading children`s brands, we found that they develop individual design pattern based on each items middle block pattern which characterize the brands design line. Most frequently used middle block is for casual pants. Through interview with pattern designers, comparative study of patterns drafting methods, wearing test of trial garments and altering and adjustment of patterns, we developed the casual pants block pattern for 7 years old boys.
Global Marketing Strategies for Korean Fashion Brands -Focused on Companies Entered the US Market-
Shin, Su-Yun ; Cho, Jeong-A ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Clothing and Textiles, volume 33, issue 1, 2009, Pages 22~32
DOI : 10.5850/JKSCT.2009.33.1.022
The purpose of this study was to suggest the appropriate marketing strategies for Korean fashion companies wishing to enter the US market. In-depth-interview with documentary research were performed to investigate the seven Korean fashion companies launching in the US market as wholesalers or retailers. The interviews were executed from May to July 2007. The results of the study were summarized in accordance with Marketing Mix(4P`s). In most cases, the brand targets are female customers of 20`s to early 30`s. The products carried by the companies are trendy with a tint of vintage and oriental feelings. The price ranges from middle to high level. Most brands are engaged in wholesaling through trade shows to sell the merchandise for department stores or specialty stores, but recently are trying to convert to retailing. Trade shows and show rooms are used as one of the promotion tools, but celebrity marketing has also been active for the promotions. Most companies suggested their superior qualities of the products as their strength, and the lack of experience and information as their weakness. Most companies forecast that the influence of FTA between Korea and the US may be limited because of Korea companies` overseas outsourcing system.

Hong, Kyung-Hee ; Lee, Yoon-Jung ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Clothing and Textiles, volume 33, issue 1, 2009, Pages 33~44
DOI : 10.5850/JKSCT.2009.33.1.033
This study is a survey of college students who have been exposed to a variety of clothing consumption environments such as online transactions through the Internet, with the purpose of examining the influence of salespersons attributes on college students` relationship commitment and perception of salespersons performance. The study conducted a questionnaire survey on 464 male and female students and used SPSS 12.0 for statistical data analyses such as mean, standard deviation, frequency analysis, reliability analysis, factor analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: First, salespersons attributes such as appearance, expertise, customer orientation, and customer management fumed out as the factors that influence the satisfaction under relationship commitment at statistically significant levels. Likeability, customer orientation, and customer management were found to have statistically significant influence on perceived reliability of salespersons. Second, with respect to the influence of relationship commitment on customer performance, statistically significant factors included satisfaction and reliability. Customer orientation is considered most important by both male and female students among the salespersons attributes, followed in order by expertise, customer management, appearance, ethic and similarity. Likeability was found to be the least important attribute.
The Costume and the thought to Costume of the Ambassador Extraordinary(修信使) and the Inspectors(朝士視察團) Detached to Japan before the Reform of Dress Regulation in 1884(甲申衣制改革)
Lee, Kyung-Mee ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Clothing and Textiles, volume 33, issue 1, 2009, Pages 45~54
DOI : 10.5850/JKSCT.2009.33.1.045
The reform of dress regulation in Kapshin(甲申衣制改革; 1884) was the first dress renovation in 8 years after Chosun`s port opening in 1876, and the key contents of that reform was the simplification of the formal dress and private dress. The reform in the culture of the traditional costume should require some kind of special experience because that culture had been regarded as the precious symbol of the Confucianism. The purpose of this study is to investigate the background of "the reform" and who proposed "that reform", by contemplating the costume and the thought of costume of the ambassador extraordinary(修信使) and the Inspectors detached to Japan(朝士視察團) who experienced new costume system of Japan sent by Chosun Dynasty. For this study, historical documents such as `Sillok(實錄)`, a sort of report("修信使記錄", "聞見事件") were reviewed and the evidential photos in Japan were analyzed. It can be summarized as follows. First, Kim Kisu(金綺秀, Susinsa) in 1876 and Kim Hongjip(金弘集, Susinsa) in 1880 wore the traditional costume of Chosun in Japan, and described the westernized Japanese costume in view of traditional costume culture. Second, the inspectors detached to Japan in 1881 showed the same attitude to the Japanese costume as the previous Susinsas had done. Third, Park Younghyo(朴泳孝), who was an ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary(特命全權大使) in 1882, experienced western style in Japan and played an positive diplomatic activities with western nations. It could be guessed that those changes in the attitudes of the diplomats might have the relationship with the change of Chosun, which began a treaty of amity between western nations after 1882. Afterwards, Chosun seems to have decided to reform the system of traditional costume into the simplified one in 1884, proposed by the diplomats who experienced foreign culture abroad including Park Younghyo(朴泳孝) and the mutual agreement in Chosun Government.
Well-being Lifestyle Measurement Development
Hong, Hee-Sook ; Koh, Ae-Ran ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Clothing and Textiles, volume 33, issue 1, 2009, Pages 55~67
DOI : 10.5850/JKSCT.2009.33.1.055
The purpose of this study is to develop well-being lifestyle measurement. Data were collected from a total of 251 Korean females ranging from 20 to 50 years old. The measurement items were developed by focus group interview to well-being consumers. Through a series of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, the 7 sub-factors and 14 items that construct final measurement model of well-being lifestyle were identified: Health oriented eating habits, social welfare oriented consumption, interest in health policy, self-esteem enhancement, sports activity, volunteer for local community, use of cosmetics made of natural components. Fitness of measurement model and reliability and discriminant validity of measurement variables were accepted as a good level.
Segmentation Using Curvature Information of 3D Body Surface for Tight-fit Pattern Making
Park, Hye-Jun ; Hong, Kyung-Hi ; Cho, Young-Sook ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Clothing and Textiles, volume 33, issue 1, 2009, Pages 68~79
DOI : 10.5850/JKSCT.2009.33.1.068
It is inevitable to have cutting line to get the 2D pattern from 3D body surface. In this paper the efficiency of curvature plot as a cutting line in the process of flattening 3D surface was investigated. As reference, basic clothing construction line was adopted to divide the 3D surface into small blocks to make the flattening process easy. Female dummy as well as human body were scanned and surface of the upper body was segmented using curvature plot and basic constructing line. 2D tight-fit pattern was developed using three software, the RapidForm 2004, 2C-AN and Yuka CAD. Gap between clothes and body, and the clothing pressure on the body was observed to determine the fit of the clothes. As results, clothes constructed with blocks divided by curvature plot displayed a similar level of tight fit as compared with those by basic construction line. It was found that curvature plot is effective method as a segmentation of the 3D surface even for the actual body which does not have any previous reference line. It is expected that application of curvature plot will be expanded in 3D apparel technology.
The Development of Commercialization in the Idea of the Fashion Design, Issey Miyake
Cho, Jung-Mee ; Huh, Eun-Joo ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Clothing and Textiles, volume 33, issue 1, 2009, Pages 80~91
DOI : 10.5850/JKSCT.2009.33.1.080
The purpose of this study is to examine how he successfully connected his ideas of fashion design for art with the commerciality without a conflict about for 40 years. It is expected that this study will be a precedent in the aspect of the symmetry between artistry and commercialization in Issey Miyake`s works. We will examine Issey Miyake`s idea of fashion design and its development for the commercialization since 1970s that he started to give shape to his ideas in the fashion works to exactly commercialize in the market. 1. Re-creation of tradition(a piece of cloth): throughout the 1970s, Miyake continued to experiment with a variety of Eastern design elements. The elements of Japanese or oriental tradition made him to be at the very center of supreme of the world of fashion. He took advantages of his identity, and developed the tradition for mass produce. 2. Design for mass(Pleats Please): Miyake decided to make clothes for the people, not only for the top class of the society. This thought developed the designs for the mass, which were functional, universal for the modem buyer, and accessible to a wide market. He realized his ideal by the medium of pleats, which were made through industrial processes, while he tried variously the aspect of formative of the pleats in the collections. His designs concept is summarized by the industrial product design and anonymous design. 3. Innovation of manufacturing system(A-POC): Miyake in 1999 developed A-POC. A-POC is used modern computers in conjunction with traditional technology. A-POC does not make only a new cloth but also makes a new manufacturing system of clothes.
The Difference of Clothing Shopping Orientation in Internet and Offline Stores
Kim, Sae-Hee ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Clothing and Textiles, volume 33, issue 1, 2009, Pages 92~103
DOI : 10.5850/JKSCT.2009.33.1.092
The study is interested in the consumer`s mixed choice of the internet and the offline stores. Therefore the purpose of study is to investigate if the clothing shopping orientation of consumers varies when they shop internet and offline, instead of classifying consumers into internet shoppers and offline shoppers. For the purpose, quantitative survey was carried out using 201 questionnaires from men and women in their twenties. The data were analyzed using factor analysis, Pearson`s correlation analysis, Spearman`s rank order correlation coefficient, t-test, and frequency analysis. The results are as following. First, the clothing shopping orientation structures of offline and internet stores were different each other. As the result of factor analysis, positive, brand oriented, economic, convenient conformity, convenient impulsive factors were extracted from offline store and rational, enjoying, goal oriented, conformity, brand oriented, convenient impulsive purchase factors were extracted from internet store respectively. Second, as the results of investigating the relationship between the clothing shopping orientation structures of offline and internet stores, positive(off)-enjoying(on), brand oriented(off)-brand oriented(on), convenient conformity(off)-conformity(on) had strong correlation s and the rest were peculiar to the each store type. Specifically, the goal oriented factor peculiar to the internet store was noticeable. Third, as the results of investigating the differences between clothing shopping orientation of offline and internet stores, the ranks of strong orientation dimension were different between two channels. As well, the mean differences were significant in goal oriented, conformity, brand oriented, and convenient impulsive purchase dimensions. This study has the significance that it investigated the variance of clothing shopping orientation according to the mixed selection trend of internet/offline.

DOI : 10.5850/JKSCT.2009.33.1.104
The purposes of this study were to examine: 1) supporting activities of fashion brands for store-level visual merchandising(VM); 2) shop masters` attitude to VM supporting activities; 3) the differences in the perceived importance of VM, attitude to VM supporting activities, and shop masters` VM management by shop master characteristics; and 4) the influencing factors on shop masters` VM management. A total of 203 questionnaires collected from shop masters working for women`s wear fashion brands were analyzed. Results revealed that VM manual was used most often as a VM supporting activity, and casual brands offered VM training and professional VM help more often than designer brands did. Shop masters` attitude toward necessity, participation and usefulness to VM supporting activities were related to each other as well as to the perceived importance of VM. There were differences in the perceived importance of VM and attitude to VM supporting activities by age and sales career and in the VM management by income. Brand knowledge, the perceived importance of VM, and participation to VM supporting activities affected VM management of shop masters.

DOI : 10.5850/JKSCT.2009.33.1.115
This study is about the iconological analysis on woman and clothes of Richard Avedon`s and Cindy Sherman`s constructed photographies which have questioned about life and existence of woman and present new visions about woman in comtemporary society and culture. The woman in R. Avedon`s disguises herself with clothes, while the woman in C. Sherman`s changes herself depending on the circumstances. R. Avedon reveals the inside of woman and ego with his gaze. The woman in his photography is reborn as another-self and communicates with the viewer through her eyes. C. Sherman has cast doubts with a woman`s point of view in the way of making herself as an object in her works. C. Sherman has presented a new way of thinking about woman`s body and ego. The viewer gives feminity and identity to the woman in C. Sherman`s photography who has kept asking a question about woman-herself. The identity of woman in the photography has been changed depending on what she is wearing, what she is doing and where she is. Like this, the clothes which she puts on becomes another-self and also expresses life and dignity of the woman.

DOI : 10.5850/JKSCT.2009.33.1.127
This study is about the analysis on symbolic meaning and kunstwollen of Issey Miyake`s art works which is influenced by various external factors such as social and cultural background, nationality and philosophy. Especially, this research focused on `Pleats Please Issey Miyake` and `A Piece of Cloth` which are the core of his works. The most important concept of Issey Miyake`s works is the relationship of human body and a piece of cloth. Miyake`s clothes has provided the time and the space where inspires the vitality into wearer. He accomplishes the most perfect beauty through incomplete beauty of cloth. Miyake wants to express the emotion of the human being through his clothes and tries to make special code between creator, wearer and viewer. Fashion is accomplished in connection with human body, not exists just as `clothes`. Fashion has valued as an art which expresses the ideology and the sentiment of human being most directly. Issey Miyake who has tried to express human life and emotion has promoted fashion as an important part of art. Miyake is accepting and delivering the history and culture, expressing and communicating empathy, and combining the different fields harmoniously.
Fit Analysis for Men`s Bodice Pattern Using 3D Scans -Compared to Traditional Fit Evaluation-
Paek, Kyung-Ja ;
Journal of the Korean Society of Clothing and Textiles, volume 33, issue 1, 2009, Pages 139~148
DOI : 10.5850/JKSCT.2009.33.1.139
In this study, we tried to verify the effectiveness of 3D scans of clothed participants from 20 to 24 year old men in fit analysis process. Carrying out fit analysis, we used 3D scan data and direct fit evaluation with the basic garments made as semi-fitted bodice pattern for men. The result of fit evaluation through 3D scan data showed the expert rated fitting items more positive than direct fit evaluation. Even though, generally there was a no significant difference in the response between 3D and direct fit analysis. Only there was a significant difference in the response to the specific place such as the center front line, neckline, shoulder seam, and etc. There was a no significant difference between the result of 3D scan and direct fit evaluation in the subjects` group. Also the result of assessment of 3D targeting consumers showed very positive and interested in using 3D scans for fit analysis. The ability to rotate the 3D scans for a variety of views proved to be a very effective process to analyze fit. Moreover, digital data is easily accessed at any locations and any time. Fit analysis using 3D scans could be great tool for not only fit evaluation in research but also better fitting in apparel industry.

The purposes of this study are to evaluate physical performance of metallic Jacquard fabrics, and to contribute to the research and development of the women`s suit made of the metallic Jacquard fabrics. First, eight fabrics were woven with two kinds of warp yarns(nylon and rayon) and weft yarn blended with various contents(0, 7, 14, 21%) of metallic yarn. Second, the mechanical properties were measured by using the KES-FB system, and physical properties such as tensile strength, tearing strength, abrasion resistance, drape, pilling, snagging, degree of crease resistance, flexural stiffness, specular gloss, folding endurance and electrostatic propensity were measured. The results were as follows. As the metal fiber content increased, bending, shear, thickness and weight increased, which imply low recovery of wrinkles. It means that metallic Jacquard fabrics enable to use as a memory fabric. 7% metallic Jacquard fabric showed a low value at total hand value, but there was little change. As the metal fiber content increased, tensile strength, tearing strength, drape coefficient, specular gloss and flexural stiffness increased, however the degree of crease resistance, electrostatic propensity and folding endurance decreased. The metallic Jacquard fabrics were excellent in snagging, abrasion resistance and pilling.

A Federal Communications Commission website designed for people to share comments on it was offline Monday due to “heavy traffic," following comedian John Oliver’s call for people to tell the FCC why it should protect Open Internet rules.
On social media, many noted that the outage seemed to highlight the very problem of Internet Service Providers demanding the right to host “Internet fast lanes” for high-traffic websites and services, part of the so-called Net neutrality debate.
@FCC Maybe because your servers are running on the "slow lane" internet? Since when do you read comments that dont include cash bribes?
— Mark Rodgers ツ (@KC8GRQ) June 2, 2014
@FCC Don't worry. If you pay $8M more to Comcast you might get a better connection. They might even throw in a $4M/m server lease agreement.
— Richard Risner (@Kowder) June 2, 2014
The outage lasted for several hours, but the FCC has given no explanation other than “heavy traffic.” The website appeared to be running again on Tuesday, but very slowly. Pages 14-28, titled “Protecting and Promoting the Open Internet,” are particularly slow to load. The section has currently received more than 45,000 comments.
On his Sunday night “Last Week Tonight” show on HBO, Oliver ran a 13-minute segment explaining the so-called “net neutrality” concept and lampooning the FCC’s proposed rules to end it.
“The point is, the Internet in its current form is not broken, and the FCC is currently taking steps to fix that,” Oliver said. The comedian concluded the segment encouraging Internet commenters to do their worst on the FCC comment page.
There’s no way to know if the page's slowdown is directly related to Oliver’s TV show, but the timing seems like more than a coincidence. | <urn:uuid:18cbf112-d819-456f-baf2-19eab73794e2> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.ibtimes.com/fcc-comment-page-down-due-heavy-traffic-did-john-olivers-net-neutrality-segment-help-break-1593885 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560285289.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095125-00152-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.954539 | 412 | 1.601563 | 2 |

Georgian Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, Natiya Turnava, announced that Georgia and Armenia have reopened the railway transportation, which was interrupted due to the coronavirus epidemic, and that the first train will depart from Yerevan to go to Batumi on June 15.
According to the news in Sputniknews; "Georgia Economy and Sustainable Development Minister Natiya Turnava, who made a statement to the press after the government's session, said that Georgia and Armenia reopened the railway transportation that was interrupted by the new type of coronavirus (Kovid-19) epidemic, and that the first train from Yerevan to Batumi was scheduled for 15 June. He also said he would get up.
Turnava said, “I want to say that the railway communication between Armenia and Georgia has started again. On June 15, the first train will depart from Yerevan via Tbilisi to Batumi. This means that tourists from our allied neighboring state can come to Georgia, our Black Sea resorts, our capital, other tourist destinations,” he said.
Passenger trains between the two countries have not been operating since March 2020. In a statement made by the Georgian Railways administration to the Russian press, it was stated that the resumption date of the Yerevan-Tbilisi-Yerevan train, which was suspended due to the epidemic, is not yet certain.
As of June 1, Georgia opened its road borders with its nearest neighbors, which have remained closed since March last year. Persons from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia and Turkey who have completed the full course of vaccination will be able to enter Georgia by presenting a negative PCR test at the border.
Persons who cannot present the document confirming their vaccination upon entry into Georgia will be able to cross the border by presenting the negative PCR test certificate made at the latest 72 hours in advance and undertake the obligation to retest within 3 days.
As of February 1, the ban on scheduled flights in Georgia has been lifted. | <urn:uuid:bcfd8f4b-ff73-44a2-a2b0-bb69b0665703> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.raillynews.com/2021/06/gurcistan-ermenistan-demiryolu-ulasimi-yeniden-aciyor/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571584.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812045352-20220812075352-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.978942 | 414 | 1.59375 | 2 |
Climate change, renewable resources and paper v plastic
Climate change. End of supplies of fossil fuel. Carbon footprint. Expense of road building. Cost of time lost in travel. Just what effect are we having on our planet - where are we headed and how many of the changes that we see in the climate are natural variations and parts of a natural cycle or just typical variations, and how many are man made? I don't know the answers!
I have listened to comments that a major trunk road built to bypass Westbury would be good for 20 years, but would then provide a magnificent cycle path in the post-oil era. And I have listened to comments that say that our effect on the environment is a pinprick and that the earth will naturally balance for it. Both, I fear, are extreme views.
I find myself as an uneducated but thoughtful member of the public thinking
• I don't know who is right and who is wrong in what they say.
• I don't know which of the views put is complete and unbiased
• I don't know which facts I am told are proven and which are guesses
There's a move to have Melksham become a plastic bag free zone at the moment - lead by an ardent campaigner who feels it's the right and proper thing that we should do. And there are others who suggest that plastic bags are actually very efficient to produce compared to paper bags, can be reused much more, and actually help within landfill by retaining the methane for later energy production rather than wasting it in an adverse carbon way. And I sit bemused on the side lines! (written 2008-01-09)

Early Alert Communications System
The ConnectNow Rapid Communication Service is designed specifically to address school communication needs by allowing schools to deliver voice and email messages within minutes to telephones or any Internet-enabled device, including mobile phones and computers.
What is ConnectNow?
- Reach thousands of parents in minutes
- Send notifications even when school phone lines are down
- Rapidly deliver information for emergency and non-emergency situations
- Perform polls and surveys
- Send reminders for P/T conferences, report cards, upcoming events, etc.
Frequently Asked Questions
I said “hello” and no message played. Why?
The ConnectNow system plays the message as soon as the phone is picked up. However, errors can occur if the person repeatedly says “hello” or answers in a noisy environment (i.e. traffic, children playing, loud music or television, dogs barking, etc.). Generally, if a person offers an extended greeting such that it overlaps the ConnectNow message, the system pauses, waits for silence, and replays the message from the beginning. With background noise, it is possible that the system was unable to detect the end of the “greeting” and thus the message did not initiate. If you miss all or part of the message, you may call ConnectNow’s toll-free number to replay the message. From the phone that was called, dial 1-855-473-7529 or 1-855-4REPLAY.
How does the system distinguish a live person from an answering machine?
In short, ConnectNow utilizes the industry’s most Advanced Answering Machine Detection (AAMD) software. The system starts the broadcast immediately upon telephone pickup; simultaneously, it is listening for interruptions. If the system is not interrupted by noise or someone speaking within the first 3.5 seconds, the message is delivered in its entirety. If the system detects a greeting longer than a few seconds, the system treats this as an outgoing message from an answering machine and will wait for a pause (usually after the beep) before delivering the message to be recorded.
What if the line is busy or there is no answer?
The ConnectNow system will make up to four attempts to reach each number, with three minutes in between each call. If the message is not delivered by the fourth attempt, it is considered a failed number. Failures happen when a phone number is busy, disconnected, invalid, etc.
Why is my answering machine recording only half of the message?
If the answering machine greeting is sporadic with varied periods of silence, the system will read this as a live person and begin playing the message, even though the machine has yet to start recording. This will result in a recording of silence (if the ConnectNow message finishes playing before the machine begins recording) or of just the last portion of the ConnectNow message. The recommended solution is to have parents re-record their outgoing message so that there are no pauses. If the answering machine is set to record for a specific amount of time (e.g. 30 seconds) and the ConnectNow message runs longer than that, this will also result in message cut-off. The recommended solution is to have parents set their machines to record for a longer period. For voice mailboxes where it is necessary to enter a mailbox number, ConnectNow is unable to leave a message.
My caller ID showed that the school had called but there was no voicemail. Why?
If there is a break or a substantial silence in the outgoing voicemail message, the system determines it has reached a live person and begins the message prior to the voicemail recording being engaged. Please make sure that the greeting is seamless to facilitate successful message delivery.
Why doesn’t the school’s phone number appear on the caller ID?
ConnectNow passes the caller ID information to the local telephone carriers, but it is up to those carriers to pass it along to their customers. Different local telephone companies process caller ID information differently. Some provide the name associated with the number, while others do not. For example, a telephone company may require an individual to subscribe to “Advanced Caller ID” in order to receive the school name along with the phone number. Unfortunately, we have no control over this feature.
Will the system call phone numbers with extensions?
The ConnectNow system only works with direct-dial phone numbers. The system is unable to navigate menus or extensions. (If the phone system allows the caller to immediately enter an extension, or there is a live receptionist, then ConnectNow has a good chance of being successful in placing the call.)
I have a telemarketer screening device. How will that affect the call?
If a contact has a device on their telephone line designed to prevent automated phone systems from connecting (e.g. TeleZapper, Privacy Manager, Privacy Director, etc.), they may not receive the call. For example, with Privacy Director all unidentifiable incoming calls are rerouted and the callers must identify themselves for the call to go through. Because our system is automated, it will not identify itself; thus the call will not get through to the recipient. For screening systems that are dependent on Caller ID’s, recipients can authorize access for their school’s phone number through their device. Note that calls identified with the school’s number on the Caller ID generally have no trouble getting through Privacy Manager type systems. Only calls with the non-standard emergency Caller ID of 411 tend to get caught up in Privacy Manager’s net.
Additional Information on the CONNECTNOW Service
The system will leave a message on the contact’s voicemail or answering machine. However, the system is set to ring each line six times. If your answering machine is set to pick up on seven or more rings, the message may not be delivered to your machine. Therefore, we encourage you to set your machine to six rings or fewer. | <urn:uuid:576d7685-7232-44d0-9033-510c1623f020> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.tcaps.net/about/departments/communications/rapid-communications-system/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988718423.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183838-00272-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.931105 | 1,229 | 2.34375 | 2 |
Statistical comparison of diesel particulate matter measurement methods.
Am Ind Hyg Assoc J 2003 May/Jun; 64(3):329-337
Four methods are used to quantify diesel particulate matter (DPM) in the mine environment: respirable combustible dust sampling (RCD), size selective sampling with gravimetric analysis (SSG), respirable dust sampling with elemental carbon (EC) analysis, and respirable dust sampling with total carbon (TC) analysis. The authors assembled data from three underground mine studies to statistically compare these methods. The sampling protocol used in each study was similar. For all the four methods, samples were collected in triplicate at three locations--upwind and downwind of the diesel scoop and on the scoop. The methods were compared with respect to their precision, selectivity, sensitivity, and LOD, as well as their limitations in measuring DPM concentrations. This constitutes a meta-analysis of the available data and provides information over a broader range of mining conditions and DPM concentrations than any of the individual studies. The weighing imprecision for the SSG method is almost twice that for the RCD technique. The imprecision of the EC and TC methods are a function of the mass loading, and EC has a lower imprecision than TC. The EC method was used as the reference "gold standard" against which the other methods were evaluated. The RCD, SSG, and TC methods exhibited substantial levels of interference, leading to much higher minimum concentrations that can be measured by these methods. Of the three, the SSG method has the highest level of interference, primarily from nondiesel material that is collected in the <0.8 Ám size range.

All it takes is a stroll on a quiet Sunday morning in Paris, to bump into them: people lining up on the sidewalk. Go down a few streets and new queues will appear. They want their baguettes fresh for breakfast - even if they have to wait outside for 15 minutes.
"It's just part of our culture," explains Léon Olland, who leads the federation of bakers in the eastern region of Bas-Rhin. "For us, bread is something you preferably buy every day and at your own baker's shop."
It's true that bread plays an important role in the daily life of the French - but that may be changing. Many consume bread - baguettes, croissants, and brioches - at least three times a day, accompanying breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
But recent research shows that only half of young people (15 to 34 years old), consume bread in the morning.
"It's a result of the Anglo-Saxon influence," says Anne-Hélène Mangin of the market information group TNS Sofres in Paris. "In particular, young people prefer cereals for breakfast. This habit is very much on the rise, but very un-French as well.''
Bakers are encouraged, however, that 20 percent of French teenagers snack on bread or baked goods between meals. (Only 6 percent of older French people do.) "Life has less rituals than before," notes Ms. Mangin. "People eat less at fixed times.''
Bread consumption also is a matter of culture and tradition.
"The French who were born before or during World War II think of bread as an essential element in their diet," explains Jean-Pierre Crouzet, who chairs the Conféderation Nationale de la Boulangerie-Pâtisserie Française, the national federation of bakeries. "They buy and eat food for its nutritional value. Young people eat what they like.''
For professional bakers, these changing attitudes - and lessened consumption of bread - are worrisome, since they have caused some boulangeries to close. In 1965 France had 48,000 bakers; today only 34,000 are left.
But the tide is turning, Mr. Crouzet thinks. "These sorts of developments exist, like it or not. Our job as bakers is to adapt.''
It is thanks to a combination of efforts - fewer heavy breads, more government support, for instance - that the majority of the French have remained faithful to their bread, says baker Léon Olland. Bread "has been such an important part of our lives for centuries. As long as our profession adapts to new wishes of consumers, I don't see any real problems.''
Even with less bread being consumed, France is still known for its baguettes. That's why Bryan Brandon, a baker's son from Fayetteville, Ark., spent a month at La Désirée bakery in the city of Argentan, in western France.
Baker Stéphane Marie showed him the ropes and let him in on some secrets. "I've learned so much,'' Mr. Brandon says. "I've seen techniques I'd never even heard of before. I couldn't find the traditional recipe back in the States, and I couldn't really get it right myself either. It's only in France that I learned to bake the real thing.''
Back in Arkansas, he would love to have his own shop with French bread and tarts. "It may be difficult because Americans are used to soft white bread: they don't really like crusts,'' he admits.
Mr. Marie will probably make a trip to Arkansas later this year, to help his pupil. But he does want something in exchange, Mr. Brandon says. "He asked me to let him in on the secrets of American cheesecake and brownies." | <urn:uuid:bf3d3cf2-a06e-46dd-8186-bcd056bc6eb3> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://m.csmonitor.com/2005/0727/p17s01-lifo.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560281649.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095121-00443-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973523 | 809 | 2.328125 | 2 |
I work in four broad areas: Speech recognition, Audio processing, Neural networks and Privacy/Security for voice processing. In audio processing, I work on noise robustness, computational auditory scene analysis, microphone array processing and source separation. In speech recognition, I work on basic research issues that need to be addressed for better automatic speech recognition. In neural networks, I am interested in specialized architectures for signal processing, learning and information routing.
In addition to all of these topics, a major part of my research is focused on privacy preserving algorithms for speech and audio processing. Speech is possibly the most private form of communication; yet, when a speech processing engine such as a voice authentication system or a speech recognition service operates, it requires complete access to the voice recording. This has security, privacy and economic implications, such as snoopers or malicious systems who may use the data to derive undesired information (e.g. speaker demographics), create fake recordings or impersonate the user. Our team continues to develop various cryptographic and other techniques to deal with these problems.

A number of these so-called targeted cancer drugs -- such as Roche's Tarceva and Novartis' Gleevec -- work by blocking the activity of various protein switches that tell the cell to grow. They are known as receptor tyrosine kinases or RTKs.
"They essentially allow the cell to communicate with the external world to sense growth factors that could maintain the survival of a cancer cell," said Dr. Ronald DePinho of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School, whose study appears in the journal Science.
AdvertisementThese protein switches are on the surface of all cells, and they go haywire in a number of cancers.
Drugs that target a single switch have transformed the treatment of some patients with certain cancers -- for instance, Gleevec and chronic myelogenous leukemia.
But they only work in a small percentage of people. And certain tumors, including the aggressive brain cancer glioblastoma multiforme, respond poorly to such drugs.
DePinho and colleagues now believe they know why. His team studied 20 different batches of glioblastoma cells in the lab and found that many growth switches were flipped on at once. | <urn:uuid:12e357fa-269d-455a-9628-c27754e5bc84> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.medindia.net/news/Targeted-Drug-Combos-Could-Outwit-Cancer-26440-1.htm | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560280242.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095120-00070-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.947903 | 245 | 3.046875 | 3 |

What is Full Site Editing (FSE) ?
Full Site Editing (FSE) allows you to edit all elements of a WordPress website using the Block Editor, including the headers, footers, sidebars, and other elements.
How to Enable Full Site Editing
❗ Note that Full Site Editing is only available if you are using a Block Theme.
A Block Theme is a WordPress theme with templates made up of blocks. An example of this would be the default Twenty Twenty Two theme.
To see which themes support FSE, you will need to do the following:
- Go to the Themes page
- Click the Add New button
- Click Feature filter
- Select Full Site Editing in the Features column and click the Apply Filters button.
All the themes that appear should be compatible with FSE.
With Block Themes, you can design all aspects of your website such as your theme and widgets in the Site Editor. The Site Editor allows you to edit themes using new features like the Styles interface and Template editing.
Once you’ve activated a Block Theme, you could navigate to the Site Editor which could be found in the Appearance tab of your dashboard, and then Editor.
This basically opens up the full site editing mode, where you could modify templates, set global styles, edit navigation menus, and more. 👍 | <urn:uuid:b21b33a1-d03d-433d-b471-9e8093e59dc5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://docs.wpstackable.com/article/474-how-to-enable-full-site-editing-fse | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573197.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818124424-20220818154424-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.862114 | 288 | 1.53125 | 2 |
The California Trail conjures up images of emigrants and gold seekers, mountain men and Mormons, as well as the hopefulness of new lands that boosters compared to the “deep, rich, alluvial soil of the Nile.”
Yet, the horrors of the trail humble even the modern traveler when reminded of the suffering and tragedy that befell so many in search of new beginnings in the promised land, such as befell the Donner Party: “Hunger and cold, deep snow!…firewood harder to get as the men grow weaker…the first death—a young man gone, not from starvation, but from malnutrition or mere despondency….”
Even before gold was discovered in 1848 at Sutter’s Mill in California, emigrants were traveling on the California Trail over three cutoffs from the Oregon Trail, two from southeastern Idaho, and one to Salt Lake City on the Mormon Trail from Fort Bridger. The route to the growing religious community near the Great Salt Lake and across the Utah desert to Nevada became known as Hastings Cutoff for the entrepreneurial-adventurer Lansford W. Hastings, the author of the famous guidebook, The Emigrants’ Guide to Oregon and California. The route to California’s fertile valleys became a controversial trail for gold seekers and emigrants, who could trade with Mormon settlers before they crossed the Humboldt Desert and the Sierra Nevada, but also led to deadly delays and confusion for emigrants, including the ill-fated Donner-Reed Party.
Start your California Trail adventure in downtown Salt Lake City at Temple Square and take the tour of the historical sites, including the public portion of the Salt Lake Temple, the Museum of Church History and Art, and Brigham Young’s residence, the Beehive House. After a visit to the state capitol, drive east of downtown to the Utah Museum of Natural History, Fort Douglas Military Museum and “This is the Place” State Park. The natural history museum provides the traveler with an excellent introduction to the dramatic geologic history of the region, while Fort Douglas, founded in 1862, and “This is the Place” provide historical context to the significance of the Mormon settlement of Utah in 1847.
Salt Lake to Reno
With a good night’s rest in Salt Lake, trail seekers should head west on Interstate 80 to Grantsville off exit 99 on Utah 138 to visit the pioneer Benson Grist Mill and the Donner-Reed Pioneer Museum at Grantsville Fort. The museum is in a one-room adobe schoolhouse built in 1861 and is open through appointment at Grantsville City Hall. Summer travelers who cross the desert to Nevada and California’s Sierra Nevada should remember this lonely outpost of the ill-fated Donner-Reed Party. After leaving the Mormon settlements the emigrants faced months on the desert trail, rather than the well-maintained interstate highway of the 21st century, which could only be imagined 165 years ago, as Science Fiction.
From Grantsville, continue west on I-80 and take exit 4 to tour the Bonneville Salt Flats near the Utah state line. Managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the Salt Flats were a formidable challenge to emigrants crossing the California Trail. A short road leads out to the famous salt deposits, now known worldwide for its high-speed racing. One can only ponder the ironic difference between jet-engine cars racing each other and ox-driven Conestoga wagons’ three-miles-an-hour pace for survival on these ancient salt beds.
Visitors should stop at the Nevada Welcome Center in Wendover, which has plenty of air-conditioned rooms for the historic trail seeker who desires a little respite from desert travel. Wendover grew in importance in the early 1900s after a railroad was built, followed by salt flat racers, U.S. 40 and Wendover Air Base, where B-29 crews, including the Enola Gay, trained for the war against Japan.
Traveling west on I-80 across the Goshute Valley, you will see the landmark 10,716-foot Pilot Peak (a crucial way stop for emigrants after crossing the Great Salt Lake Desert on Hastings Cutoff) due north as the highway climbs through the Great Basin, past the aptly named town of Oasis and a rest stop at Pequop Summit, 6,650 feet above sea level, the highest point on the old trail between the Wasatch Mountains and Donner Pass.
Sixty miles past Wendover, the town of Wells was one of the most important rest stops on the California Trail. The Humboldt Wells’ springs and fresh grass offered an oasis to weary emigrants and their livestock. In the 1860s, the springs brought the Central Pacific Railroad and the construction of a historic district that still awaits renovation after a 2008 earthquake. Adventurous trail seekers should contact the BLM for directions north on U.S. 93 to the California Trail Back Country Byway, which is almost 100 miles of back roads, half of which are alongside or near the rutted route of bonanza seekers and California emigrants.
From Wells to Elko, the East Humboldt Range and its 10,000-foot peaks dominate the southern horizon, with a nice scenic route into the Ruby Mountains to Lamoille accessible from Halleck or Elko. Visitors should plan on spending a day or two in Elko touring the Northeastern Nevada Museum, Western Folklife Center (home to the annual National Cowboy Poetry Gathering every January) and the California Trail Interpretive Center.
From Elko, Battle Mountain, in the heart of historic Shoshone Indian territory, is about halfway to Winnemucca, and is a crossroads for two of the state’s longest, loneliest roads, Nevada 305, which leads to the former county seat and historic Lincoln Highway town of Austin, and Nevada 121, a desert back road strictly for
Winnemucca, a historical crossroads oasis for thousands of years, is a good overnight stay after Elko, with the Humboldt Museum and Buckaroo Hall of Fame as excellent way stops for the curious California Trail traveler. The chamber of commerce has an excellent tour of the historic town, which includes a bank that Butch Cassidy’s gang robbed.
The final leg of the Nevada tour leaves I-80 at Wadsworth, exit 46, to Silver Springs and historic U.S. 50 to the old mining communities of Dayton and Virginia City. The Dayton Museum and Mark Twain Museum will give the cross-country traveler good introductions to their towns’ storied histories. In Reno, emigrants for decades stopped at Truckee Meadows (named for the Paiute chief who helped the Stevens Party of 1844 find the river from the Humboldt Sink) before crossing into the Sierra Nevada. The Nevada State Historical Society Museum and W.M. Keck Museum provide excellent historical exhibitions on the region.
Reno to Sacramento
Travelers from Reno to Sacramento will experience the dramatic geography of the 19th-century emigrants, albeit in the comfort of their modern vehicles on well-graded, paved highways. The first stop in the Sierra Nevada area off I-80 should be California’s Donner Memorial State Park and the Emigrant Trail Museum. After touring the park, visit the historic district of Truckee before reaching scenic Lake Tahoe. Enjoy the natural beauty of the region while touring its historic sites, including museums in Tahoe City and South Lake Tahoe, and a lake tour on one of the famed steamboats, where you might even meet the ghost of Mark Twain.
To reach the “Carson Route” across the Sierra Nevada, take California 89 to another leg of historic U.S. 50, which heads west along Kit Carson’s route to Sacramento. Enjoy the highway as it winds its way through the Sierras to historic Placerville, which is just a few miles south from the Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park on California 49 near Coloma. I highly recommend that you spend a few days in California’s Gold Country, which is filled with historic sites, museums, quaint towns and inns, many of which are north and south of U.S. 50 on California Highway 49.
With the Sierra Nevada to the east and the Pacific to the west, California Trail travelers will find Sacramento rich in Western history. Whether you plan on completing your tour in the capital city, beacon of gold miners, emigrants and entrepreneurs, or heading on to the coast, stop and enjoy the end of the trail with tours of the state capitol, Old Sacramento, the California Railroad Museum and Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park. After experiencing the California Trail from Salt Lake to Sacramento, crossing the deserts and mountains, paying homage to those who suffered in the Donner Party, a quiet walking tour of the humble grounds of Sutter’s Fort will provide the modern trail seeker a poignant appreciation for the determination and sacrifice which drove men and women to cross the continent, against all odds, to reach their California Shangri-La of fertile farm valleys, gold mines and entrepreneurial opportunity.

PDF (Publisher version)
Si(100) samples, preamorphized to a depth of ~30 nm using 20 keV Xe ions to a nominal fluence of 2×1014 cm-2 were implanted with 1 and 3 keV BF2 ions to fluences of 7×1014 cm-2. Following annealing over a range of temperatures (from 600 to 1130 °C) and times the implant redistribution was investigated using medium-energy ion scattering (MEIS), secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), and energy filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM). MEIS studies showed that for all annealing conditions leading to solid phase epitaxial regrowth, approximately half of the Xe had accumulated at depths of 7 nm for the 1 keV and at 13 nm for the 3 keV BF2 implant. These depths correspond to the end of range of the B and F within the amorphous Si. SIMS showed that in the preamorphized samples, approximately 10% of the F migrates into the bulk and is trapped at the same depths in a ~1:1 ratio to Xe. These observations indicate an interaction between the Xe and F implants and a damage structure that becomes a trapping site. A small fraction of the implanted B is also trapped at this depth. EXTEM micrographs suggest the development of Xe agglomerates at the depths determined by MEIS. The effect is interpreted in terms of the formation of a volume defect structure within the amorphized Si, leading to F stabilized Xe agglomerates or XeF precipitates.

Headache affects most people at least occasionally. Headache denotes pain or discomfort from the level of the brows back to the suboccipital region.
Pain sensitive structures leading to headache are: Cranial venous sinuses with afferent veins Arteries at base of the brain and their major branches Arteries of the dura Dura near base of brain and large arteries All extracranial structures
Primary headache It is a condition in which headache is a primary manifestation with no underlying disease. It is usually benign and recurrent Secondary headache It is a condition in which headache is a secondary manifestation of an underlying disease process. It is usually sudden and progressive
Migraine Tension type headache Cluster headache Other benign headache
It is the most common of the primary headache disorders It is due to pain from vascular structures and muscular sources More common in women Episodic and chronic forms Pain characteristics: pressing/tightening quality, mild to moderate severity, bilateral location and no aggravation by routine physical activity
It is an idiopathic recurring headache disorder Attacks last 4-72 hours Typically headache is unilateral, have a pulsating quality, moderate to severe in intensity Aggravated by routine physical activity Associated with nausea, vomiting, photophobia and phonophobia May be preceded by visual, sensory, motor or autonomic manifestations (AURA)
Symptomatic therapy: analgesics such as paracetamol and non steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs Specific abortive therapy: given to shorten the attack or decrease the severity of headache as ergotamine and sumatriptan Prophylactic (preventive) therapy: beta blockers, calcium channel blockers and tricyclic antidepressants.
It is extremely severe headache Unilateral headache that produce pain in the area around and above the eye Attacks lasts 15 minutes to 3 hours Occurring as often as 8 times daily and lasts from weeks to months
Aneurysms, arteriovenous malformation [AVMs] and subarachnoid hemorrhage Meningitis Stroke Trigeminal neuralgia Temporal arteritis Hypertension Benign intracranial hypertension Lumbar puncture headache Referred headache: due to diseases of the eye, ear, nasal sinuses, mouth and teeth Psychogenic headache: in cases of depression and anxiety states, usually in the form of sense of pressure or bandage around the head
Onset after age 50 Sudden onset Increased frequency and severity New onset with risk factors for HIV or cancer Associated with systemic illness (fever, rash) Altered consciousness Significant trauma
Facial pain must be distinguished from headache. The most common cause of facial pain by far is dental; provocation by hot, cold, or sweet foods is typical. Trigeminal and, less commonly, glossopharyngeal neuralgia are frequent causes of facial pain. Neuralgias are painful disorders characterized by paroxysmal, fleeting, often electric shock–like episodes that are frequently caused by demyelinating lesions of nerves. Vague, poorly localized, continuous facial pain is characteristic of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Function: smell Its lesion causes anosmia Bilateral anosmia is usually due to local cause in the nose as common cold
Function: vision Its lesion causes total blindness in one eye if there is complete section of one optic nerve
Function: it is purely motor and is responsible for lifting the upper eyelid, turning the eye upward, downward and medially, constricting the pupil and accommodating the eye Its lesion causes squint, diplopia and ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelid) with dilated pupil and loss of accommodation
3rd NERVE PALSY
Function: purely motor turning the eye downward and laterally Its lesion causes squint and diplopia
Function: it contains both sensory and motor fibers It carries sensation from the face through three divisions; optic, maxillary and mandibular nerves It supplies motor fibers to muscles of mastication Its lesion causes: A- sensory affection: loss of the sensation on the corresponding side of the face with loss of corneal reflex B- motor affection: weakness of the muscles of mastication on the same side of the lesion
It is severe stabbing pain along one or more of the sensory branches of trigeminal nerves over the face It is of unknown cause The attack may be precipitated by movements of the jaws as chewing, laughing, brushing of the teeth Between the paroxysms of pain, the patient is asymptomatic Treatment: analgesics, anticonvulsant as carbamazepine, lesioning of the gasserian ganglion (either by radiofrequency or glycerol injection) or posterior fossa craniotomy to releive the compression of trigeminal nerve
Function: supply the lateral rectus muscle of the eye ball, responsible for turning the eye laterally Its lesion causes squint, diplopia on looking outwards towards the paralysed side
Function: both motor and sensory a- supplies the muscles of facial expression, the auricular muscles, the stapedius, the posterior belly of the digastric, and the styloid muscle b- recieves taste fibers of the anterior 2/3 of the tongue, the floor of the mouth and the palate c- supplies the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands and the lacrimal gland The upper part of its motor nucleus is bilaterally supplied from the pyramidal tracts of both sides, while the lower part is unilaterally supplied from the pyramidal tracts of the opposite side only
Facial nerve lesion The lesion may be UMNL affecting the pyramidal tracts above the facial nucleus LMNL affecting the facial motor nucleus or the nerve itself
In UMNL: The angle of the mouth will sag Obliteration of the nasolabial fold on the affected side Saliva will dribble from the corner of the mouth Inability to expose the teeth fully on the affected side Inability to blow the teeth on the affected side
In LMNL: There are in addition: Inability to close the eye Inabilty to raise the eye brows with absence of wrinkles of the forehead on the affected side
Definition: unilateral facial paralysis of sudden onset and unknown cause Etiology: it is due to ischemia and edema of the facial nerve caused by cold exposure, secondary to viral and/or autoimmune reactions Clinical picture: acute onset of pain behind the ear, complete paralysis of the facial muscles on the affected side of LMN nature, impairment of taste sensation of the anterior 2/3 of the tongue on the same side
Treatment: Measures to prevent corneal drying as natural tears, isotonic saline and methyl cellulose drops Medical: corticosteroids, vitamins and antiviral (acyclovir) Physiotherapy Surgical: hypoglossal facial nerve anastomosis if no improvement after 6-12 months
Function: the cochlear division conducts nerve impulses concerned with sound, while the vestibular division conducts nerve impulses concerning the position and movements of the head Its lesion causes tinnitus, deafness, vertigo, ipsilateral incoordination and spontaneous nystagmus
Function: motor to the stylopharyngeus and superior constrictor muscles of the pharynx, sensory from the pharynx, tonsils and posterior 1/3 of the tongue and taste sensation from posterior 1/3 of the tongue Its lesion causes loss of taste and common sensations from the posterior 1/3 of the tongue and loss of pharyngeal reflex on the same side of the lesion
Function: 1. motor to the soft palate, pharynx and larynx 2. sensory from the skin over the external auditory meatus and the mucous membrane lining the gastrointestinal tract and respiratory tract 3. autonomic fibers to the heart, the gastrointestinal tract and the bronchial tree Its lesion causes hoarseness or absence of voice

top 8 reasons why there’s no flowers in my flower bed
01/19/2012 in gardening
8. Acts of God
While there’s no denying that a tornado or hurricane can destroy a garden, and drought can kill unsuitable plants, planting native plants will usually mean that there are lots of flowers in spite of the vicissitudes of the seasons.
For a number of years, when I was asked what I grew in the garden, the answer was “deer and rabbits!”.
Bambi and Thumper love native plants, and they can be incredibly difficult to discourage.
While a fresh egg in a blender of water sprinkled over the plants will deter them, the need to re-apply weekly can make maintaining a large garden problematic. A fence is probably the best solution, but when they get hungry enough no fence will deter them. In such circumstances, it’s either put them in the stew pot or plant stuff they can not eat. Any google search of “poisonous plants” should turn up a variety of interesting landscape jewels.
6. Pruned at wrong time cut off flower buds
Sometimes when there’s an event coming up in the garden, we rush out to tidy. There can be a problem when that that messy bush that needed cutting back was getting ready to bloom. When the flower buds are cut back… there won’t be any flowers this year, and the plant could be injured permanently…
5. Pruned at wrong time, killed plant
Sometimes we must allow the new arrival time to look ungainly in the garden while it finds it’s balance. Attempting to tidy these plants often kills them.
4. Pulled weeds, stepped on plants
I hate to say it… Weeds aren’t the worst thing in the flower bed. Our feet are.
Native plants evolved in competition with other plants. They’re unlikely to be crowded out by the weeds. Weeding when the seedlings are germinating, by walking on the beds, often means that the seedlings are killed.
3. Tidied the bed, pulled the flowers
Sometimes we “get in the zone”. We start pulling stuff, and not really paying attention. We get to thinking that we need to get the messy stuff out of the way of a hardscape feature, and only notice days later that the flowers that we had in that location are gone.
2. Weeded, didn’t recognize the flowers
The most important rule in the garden may well be this: If I don’t know what it is… It is not a weed!
Again, weeds are the plants that I recognize, that crowd the other plants out…
Plenty of the plants that I’ve planted deliberately turned out to be weeds, and many of my favorite plants showed up on their own.
Sometimes when we plant seeds, we don’t recognize the seedlings. for example, larkspur and carolina geranium resemble each other.
Maybe we pulled stuff we didn’t remember planting… it’s better to leave a patch of weeds than to lose what could well be some of our coolest garden plants!
There really is no reason for this one.
Sometimes we get lazy, and just want the weeds gone, can’t wait for them to get large enough to pull. Unfortunately, the plants that are under the weeds are a lot more sensitive to the roundup than the weeds are. The weed dies back, and the sibling weeds emerging from the same batch of seed grow on, happy for the reduced competition. Meanwhile the really cool plant that was just beginning to come out of dormancy dies without ever letting us know that it was there… we only realize that it’s gone when the neighbor’s flower blooms. | <urn:uuid:62309ed5-8ed4-4d75-a543-7f44e9d21e32> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.stonethegardener.com/wp/2012/01/top-8-reasons/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560279224.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095119-00481-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.944107 | 801 | 1.90625 | 2 |

Summer – that most fleeting of seasons – is all about the temporary. There are summer jobs, summer romances and summer songs. None are usually meant to last. No wonder the summer soundtrack through the decades sounds so frothy, fun and ephemeral. It reeks of tanning oil - and like a sand castle, it disappears at the day’s end beneath the tide – at least it used to. In recent years, the songs that dominate our summers haven’t all been quite so cheery.
Still, there’s no season better for switching off your brain and starting a dance craze. It’s no mystery that Lambada (1989), Macarena (1996), Livin’ La Vida Loca (1999), The Ketchup Song (2002) and Gangnam Style (2012) all came to rule the summers in which they were released, and now live on in wedding-band purgatory. These songs practically demand that you slip into some hot pants and dance in the sand.
In the ‘60s, pop built a micro industry around the notion that kids had even more leisure time in the summer and needed a soundtrack for it. Brian Hyland brazenly drooled about the girl in an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini. The Beach Boys turned surf and sand into their private playground with All Summer Long, I Get Around and Fun Fun Fun, celebrations of a top-down, hair-flying-in-the-breeze joy ride in daddy’s T-Bird with a girl in the front seat and a surf board in the back.
Mungo Jerry gave the formula a twist in 1970 with In the Summertime by improbably turning an old-timey skiffle beat into a stoner beach-party shuffle. Two decades later, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince cranked out the biggest rap summer hit, Summertime. The song had nothing to do with beach blankets and surf; it was all about jamming in the park and cruising at “Two miles an hour so everybody sees you” while rocking a bodacious bass line through the speakers.
Beach blanket bingo
Now summer anthems don’t have to be quite so literal. What unites most of them through the last couple of decades is that they’re energetic and at least sound upbeat, even when they’re not. Also crucial: give summer revelers something catchy, no matter how mindless, to sing along with. Remember that popular 2004 single from the hit factory known as the Republic of Moldova? It’s officially titled Dragostea Din Tei, but most folks know it as the ‘Numa Numa’ song. It’s the one that goes: “Ma-ia hii! Ma-ia huu! Ma-ia hoo! Ma-ia haha.” Sung in falsetto, it leaps all language barriers in a single bound and allows everyone to feel like a star – including Gary Brolsma, the boy who had a YouTube hit by lip-synching and dancing to it in his bedroom.
Numa Numa had competition in 2004 with Usher’s equally simplistic but inescapable crunk classic, Yeah! Amazing what a little flute riff can do. Gwen Stefani’s Hollaback Girl ran things in the summer of 2005, partly because it sounded like a cheerleader romp – more reminders that just about everyone who loved the song had just been emancipated from school for a few months. Black Eyed Peas were everywhere in 2009 and refused to share. After Boom Boom Pow started to drift that year, it was immediately replaced by I Gotta a Feeling on the charts – nothing says mindless fun in the hot sun quite like the combo of will.i.am and Fergie. Last year saw a Pharrell-dominated mini-landslide of summer hits – Daft Punk’s Get Lucky followed by Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines, both of which featured Williams’ vocals.
Though these monster songs all fit the template established in the ‘60s and then refined and modernised by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince in the ‘90s, it’s fascinating to look at some of the exceptions. Gnarls Barkley’s 2006 smash, Crazy, cut across countless radio formats and genre lines. It almost made one forget that the lyrics address the fine line between artistic risk-taking and insanity. Rihanna’s Umbrella dominated in 2007 - even though the tune’s lyrics mirrored the year’s tumultuous weather conditions, which fluctuated between flooding and drought. And Foster the People’s Pumped Up Kicks was a major hit in 2011, even though it’s about a teenage mass murderer.
Nothing quite so dark is in the forecast for the summer hit of 2014. My money’s on Ariana Grande’s Problem, which besides being catchy as hell with that slinky sax riff, has two bonuses in its favour: a Jay-Z reference and an Iggy Azalea cameo. Then, of course, there’s Iggy herself with the ubiquitous Fancy. Calvin Harris makes his bid by simply calling his latest single Summer – every time it comes on the radio lasers shoot 100 yards into the sky and it rains confetti, or at least it feels that way. And Pharrell Williams’ Happy just keeps hanging around. It ruled the winter, and now it threatens to dominate beach parties for at least three more months. That’s not such a long way from Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.

In Iraq, an assertion of US 'hard' power
Final chapter on war yet to be written; known costs include sagging world standing for US, rise of Iran in the region.
The Iraq war became emblematic of President Bush's faith in traditional American power at a time when new manifestations of power – a country's international standing, its involvement in spreading international development, the attractiveness of its values – have taken on new importance.
"Bush focused so heavily on the hard power that he neglected the soft power," says Harvard Prof. Joseph Nye, describing the availability of nonmilitary means for pursuit of national interests.
Citing a decline of 30 percentage points in European attitudes toward America and an even steeper decline in many Muslim countries, Mr. Nye says such figures are "a good measure of the effect of Iraq on America's attractiveness" and also on its interests. But not everyone agrees with this interpretation.
Some historians and foreign-policy experts note that the Iraq war was not a "go-it-alone" affair. They also tend to hold out the prospect – as does Mr. Bush himself – that a stable, democratic Iraq will emerge, becoming a "beacon" for the region and vindicating Bush's vision.
"The truth is that about two-thirds of the governments of NATO and the European Union supported Bush in his fateful decision to go to war in Iraq," says Robert Lieber, a professor of government and international affairs at Georgetown University in Washington. "This idea that the Bush administration ... ruined relations with our allies is a cliché and also happens to be wrong."
Iraq's place in Bush's foreign-policy legacy cannot be fully gauged, some say, without including his decision to address a deterioration in conditions on the ground with a "surge" in US troops, rather than with a withdrawal.
"Iraq would be in very different shape today if Bush's presidency had ended a year-and-a-half ago and [America] had followed the prevailing thinking" to pull out, says Michael Gerson, a former Bush speechwriter. "Instead the surge has delivered some of the most remarkable progress in counterinsurgency we have ever seen."
Still, Mr. Lieber says, there's no denying the war's high costs – from loss of life to the hit to America's reputation caused by poor prewar planning and the ineptness of Iraq's new government.
But the most negative cost may be in how the war "freed Iran to become the dominant actor in the region," Lieber says. That consequence, he warns, "is fraught with peril." | <urn:uuid:cc4b8943-1a7c-4c9b-9944-9cb6cf48da9e> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Foreign-Policy/2009/0115/p11s02-usfp.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560280835.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095120-00053-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96447 | 534 | 2.421875 | 2 |
Lahore, Jan 3: A village by the name of 'Pakistan' still exists in Purnea district of Bihar despite growing tensions between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of the Mumbai terror strikes that killed 179 people.
In spite of tensions between the two neighbours, the residents of Pakistan village in Purnea district do not want to change the name of their village.
According to the BBC, the villagers did not want war between the two countries and wanted to spread the message of peace and brotherhood.
'Pakistan' is a village on western Bengal's borders from where the native Muslim population had migrated to then East Pakistan in 1947, and in the memory of those Muslims, the locals had named the village 'Pakistan'.
There is not a single Muslim family living in the village at present, the Daily Times quoted the BBC, as saying.
Despite tensions between the two countries and opposition from some local elements, the villagers have not changed the name of their village.
Purnea is the oldest district in Bihar. In 1912, Bihar and Orissa were carved as separate provinces out of the old Bengal Province and Purnea became the district of the new provincial unit. Before the state re-organization in 1956, Purnia was contiguous to East Pakistan.&13;&13; | <urn:uuid:d591fe8e-bdb6-45d0-8a3b-8174647b6c8a> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.oneindia.com/2009/01/03/the-pakistan-that-exists-in-purnea-district-of-bih.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560281226.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095121-00383-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970591 | 265 | 2.75 | 3 |
Kidney Flush:Apple Cider Vinegar & Comfrey Tea +
KIDNEYS AND BLADDER:
Due to the eliminative nature of cider vinegar, the kidneys and bladder can benefit tremendously by a 'flushing', which they receive when the following cider vinegar therapy is undertaken: two teaspoons of cider vinegar in a glass of water six times a day. It would be beneficial to drink a couple of glasses of water in the morning, taking one teaspoonful of cider vinegar in each drink. Comfrey tea, first thing in the morning with a teaspoon of cider vinegar will also create a sufficient cleansing action. Inflammation of the kidneys, called pyelitis, in which pus cells are present in the urine, will generally clear up with the above-mentioned treatment.

THE BENEFITS OF CIDER VINEGAR
THE NATURE OF DISEASE
Food has certainly been the down-fall of man's health. With all the rubbish he stuffs into his delicate, yet adaptable organism, it is no wonder that there is so much unnatural disease rampant today. From the day he ate his first meal man has forever abused his system with the wrong types of food. He has not been rational in his eating habits, but has merely satisfied his banal desire for stimulating, refined and processed fare. The day will come, however, when he suddenly realizes that his food habits effect his physical as well as mental wellbeing. He will then realise that he had been satisfying his debased taste buds, rather than sustaining the body. The wise, however, look toward nature for their answer; with patience and perseverance they have re-discovered the answer to man's dilemma. The answers although simple are extremely effective as they do not entail unnatural chemical compounds - it is the utilization of these wonderful gifts from nature which are so efficacious and free for all! There have been many natural curative formulae discovered throughout the centuries, which have proved themselves safe and yet effective. Natural resources have been used since the days before Christ viz: Sunshine, Water, Air - herbs and homebrews have been used for generations too by our ancestors. Honey is also a natural wonder, together with many other folk preparations which have been handed down through the ages. Amongst these APPLE CIDER VINEGAR has been widely used as a successful remedy for a number of ailments. We find that, with the abuse of the body, inordinate amounts of waste matter have accumulated within the system. In the early stages these are not so apparent as the body is still vital enough to deal with this extra burden. However, if an attempt is not made to eradicate these toxic accumulations, the body has to deal with more and more pressure, resulting in aches and pains. Later in life these efforts to eliminate these encumberances result in influenza, bronchitis etc; and, if these healing efforts are suppressed by continued wrong living and drugs, the acute symptoms become chronic and insidious. Rheumatism, arthritis, cancer, heart ailments, high blood pressure etc, are all signs that the body has been neglected by the suppression of natural heating crisises. There are certain preparations, however, which assist the body in eliminating these toxic substances and this is where these natural curative methods have found a valuable place in the healing arts. To abstain from those foods and drinks which add to this unnecessary accumulation, is a great assistance to the body i.e. those refined and denatured food items such as bread, starch, white sugar, and their products; together with the unnecessary food items which cause excessive mucous and toxic waste in the system e.g. meat, eggs, dairy produce, legumes, cereals. However, one may now ask what should one eat if these are to be eliminated from the diet. Where one cannot completely abstain from these products, moderation is the key word in this instance, together with certain herbal and folk preparations which assist in the breakdown of the acids and mucous waste.
It is at this point that the benefits of APPLE CIDER VINEGAR will be discussed:
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away" (the dentist too!) - is an oft quotation which should not be considered as just an obsolete "Old Wives Tale", as there is more than meets the eye in these axioms of yore. Apples are among the most health-giving fruits available as they contain a host of nutritious properties viz: Phosphorous, Cholerine, Potassium, Sodium, Magnesium, Calcium, Sulphur, Iron, Fluorine, Silicon, plus many trace elements ....... and all of these are found in PURE APPLE CIDER VINEGAR.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Amongst other things, cider vinegar is very effective in detoxicating various organs in the body together with the blood stream. Hence it is a purifier, as it has a means of breaking down fatty, mucous and phlegm deposits within the body. It therefore, promotes the health of the vital organs of the body e.g. kidneys, bladder, liver etc., by preventing an excessively alkaline urine. Cider vinegar also helps oxidate the blood which consequently prevents the blood from becorning too thick and gluey, which gives rise to a strained heart and blood vessels resulting in high blood pressure. Cider vinegar also promotes digestion, assimilation and elimination and it neutralizes any toxic substance taken into the body. There have been a number of instances where people who had taken a mixture of cider vinegar and water before a meal were unaffected by diarrhoea, or digestive upsets, whilst their companions who ate the same meal were. Hence the cider vinegar seemed to neutralize the harmful substances in the food eaten.
Apple cider vinegar has a potent supply of potassium which has become so widely acclaimed in the helping of various complaints including: running nose. Excessive mucous formation, watery eyes, sinus and catarrhal troubles. Teeth decay and the splitting of finger nails are also signs of potassium deficiency which are remedied by taking cider vinegar. Potassium is essential for the normal growth of the body and for the replacement of worn-out tissues which depend upon the presence of this mineral. It is as important to the soft tissues, as calcium is to the bones and teeth and it also retards the hardening of the blood vessels.
As potassium is so important in the healthy growth of a plant, animal and human, a deficiency of this mineral will produce such tendencies as callous formations on the soles of the feet, or the failure to replace worn-out tissues as observed in the loss of hair.
Tests have proven that a soil deficient in this mineral-salt will produce anaemic and undersized plants, however, when potassium is introduced into the soil the plant becomes sturdier and increases in height. This is also the case with animals, where potassium which was fed to livestock, in the form of cider vinegar, improved their appearance and stamina. Humans too, can benefit with this increased potassium intake. Especially where children are slow developers and appear undersized. A few teaspoons of cider vinegar taken with water each morning will show tremendous results. The best way to introduce cider vinegar to the family, is to substitute it for the ordinary table vinegar and use it in the cooking. Potassium acts as a restraining influence upon those who are over-excitable and nervous. It draws fluid back into the cells, for when potassium is lacking the body cells shrink and their normal activity is restricted.
THE USES OF CIDER VINEGAR
A number of outstanding authorities have proven the therapeutic advantages of using cider vinegar for numerous complaints ranging from obesity and overweight to arthritis. Besides the therapeutic benefits derived from taking cider vinegar therapy, as outlined in this book, it can also be used for a number of other purposes e.g. salad dressing, pickling, a flavour in cooking etc. It also makes a very refreshing drink, hot or cold, with or without honey - this should take the place of normal tea and coffee which are so habit-forming and unnecessary commodities.
Try using cider vinegar where lemon juice is required e.g. in making mayonnaise, or just sprinkle some on a salad before serving; sprinkle on pawpaw for a refreshing breakfast, or just use on potato chips!
EFFECTS OF CIDER VINEGAR ON THE BLOOD
When the blood is deficient in some minerals or biochemic salt, ill-health is the outcome e.g. boils break out, suppurating blisters become apparent, pimples appear on the face etc. It has been found however, that cider vinegar helps with the cleansing as well as the clotting of the blood. Oxidation of the blood is very important and cider vinegar is again an effective treatment for this. Besides introducing the important minerals into the blood stream, as mentioned above, cider vinegar also helps in the clotting of blood. This is of tremendous help to those people who are commonly termed 'bleeders', as they live their lives in fear of cutting themselves due to the bloods inability to clot, and it will also enhance the healing process.
Use the cider vinegar and honey treatment for arthritis and also apply cider vinegar externally to painful joints. This entails drinking a glass of water with two teaspoons of cider vinegar and two teaspoons of honey three times a day. Local treatment can also be given by soaking the arthritic hand, or foot in a strong, comfortably hot solution of cider vinegar for ten minutes, two or three times a day - (a quarter of a cup of cider vinegar to one and a half cups of water). Arthritic knees can be attended to by making a poultice - soak the cloth in a mixture of cider vinegar and water, (as per above mixture) wring out and wrap it around the joint, then secure with a dry cloth to retain heat. When the wet cloth cools, it should be wrung out in the hot solution and applied afresh. Repeat several times, twice daily.
One tablespoonful of cider vinegar added to a glass of water should be taken in sips for half an hour. After a further half an hour has elapsed the treatment should be repeated. The wheezing should lessen in intensity quite considerably. However, should wheezing still persist a second glass of the same mixture should be taken. Deep breathing exercises are also a beneficial treatment.
It has been discussed above how cider vinegar helps in preventing blood losses. In any circumstances where the flow of blood is too free and is too persistent, such as when a person has a nose bleed without any apparent reason, then two teaspoons of cider vinegar in a glass of water, three times a day will aid in restoring the natural clotting properties of the blood.
The cider vinegar and honey treatment has been used effectively in the treatment for colitis. Take the normal dosage of two teaspoons cider vinegar and honey with water, three times a day. An enema of a teaspoonful or more of molasses is also very helpful.
There are many types of coughs for various reasons, and these should be treated with reference to their nature and intensity. However, the cider vinegar and honey treatment will prove an efficacious treatment in this respect. Two teaspoons of cider vinegar and two of honey mixed with a glassful of water should be taken before meals, or when the irritation occurs. In the evening it would be an idea to have this mixture by your bed so that it can be sipped during the evening if an attack presents itself.
It has been mentioned above how cider vinegar helps with the digestion, assimilation and elimination of food, and that it is an antiseptic to the intestines and the whole of the digestive tract. Due to it's healing properties, diarrhoea can be controlled in a very short time, (that is unless some serious physical disorder is apparent). The treatment being, one teaspoonful of cider vinegar in a glass of water should be taken before and inbetween meals i.e. approximately six glasses during the course of the day. It should be noted, however, that diarrhoea is a natural attempt on the part of the body to eliminate some poison which is irritating the digestive tract, on no account should any drugs be taken to suppress these healing symptoms - on the other hand the cider vinegar will lessen the intensity, but will allow the natural course of elimination to take place.
Two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar together with two teaspoons of honey in a glass of hot or cold water three times a day should help this annoying occurrence quite considerably. However, one should never expect instant results, as nature works slowly, yet very effectively. You will notice a lessened intensity whilst you progress.
The treatment for this complaint, which usually occurs during childhood is: one teaspoonful of cider vinegar in a glass of water to be taken mid morning and mid afternoon. The discharge should shortly disappear.
Take the usual dosage of cider vinegar and honey in a glassful of water three times a day, with meals. An application of well diluted cider vinegar can also be applied to the skin several times daily i.e. oneteaspoonful to half a cup of water. Under no circumstances should salt be taken, as this aggravates the eczema condition considerably. There is usually a potassium deficiency in those people suffering from eczema.
EYES (TIRED AND SORE):
The cider vinegar therapy together with honey is the essential ingredients here. Two teaspoons of each taken in a glassful of water, three times a day. This mixture retards the onset of tired and sore eyes which are usually apparent in later life, as it supplies them with those vital elements essential to their health and functioning.
Chronic fatigue is a warning that the body needs some attention. Most people suffering from chronic fatigue do not have enough good, sound sleep. Either they go to bed too late, or they are one of those people who just need more sleep than most. It is better to get as many hours in bed before midnight as possible. To remedy a poor quality sleep, honey is highly recommended, as it acts as a sedative to the body. Twenty minutes after the honey has been taken into the mouth it has been digested and absorbed into the body. This is because it is a predigested sugar, which has been digested in the stomach of the honey bee, and therefore requires no effort on the part of the human stomach for digestion. Keep the following mixture by your bedside to be taken as indicated: three teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to a cup of honey.
Take two teaspoons of the mixture before retiring. This should induce sound sleep within an hour, if however, you have been unable to sleep within this period repeat the dosage.
As mentioned earlier there have been many cases where people who were in the habit of taking cider vinegar regularly never suffer any side effects from food poisoning. The cider vinegar has an antiseptic quality which seems to render noxious food harmless.
The falling out of hair is primarily due to a tissue salt deficiency, thus cider vinegar with its 'wonder products' will re-establish a natural balance, and supply the deficiencies where needed. Therefore, by taking the cider vinegar treatment the hair will maintain its natural growth. It will cease to fall out and grow more rapidly and thickly. This will take approximately two months, so perseverence is needed. The dosage is one teaspoonful of cider vinegar to a glass of water to be taken with or between meals. Cider vinegar can also be used externally for the treatment of dandruff, see under heading of External Treatments.
This ailment is marked by watery eyes, sneezing and running nose, in other words there is an excess of fluid which the body is drastically trying to offload. For an effective relief, honey and cider vinegar should be utilized which will bring excellent results. A tablespoonful of honey should be taken after each meal for approximately a fortnight before the onset of the hay-fever season. The ordinary dosage of cider vinegar and honey should then be taken viz: two teaspoons of cider vinegar and two of honey in a glass of water, three times a day. This dosage should be maintained during the entire hay-fever season.
There are several types of headache, caused by various reasons. Some are associated with organic disorders, such as kidney troubles, others are known as psychogenic, or tension headaches. Then we have the most annoying of all; the migraine headache. Many people have had relief from headaches by the use of honey. Two teaspoons taken at each meal may well prevent an attack. Another effective means is to take apple cider vinegar. Equal parts of cider vinegar and water should be placed in a small basin on the stove, allowing it to boil slowly. When the fumes begin to rise from the basin lean your head over it until the fumes are comfortably strong. Inhale for approximately 50 to 80 breaths. Generally this alleviates the headache considerably, if not entirely.
(Impaired) The treatment of impaired hearing has had excellent results on the apple cider vinegar therapy. Take the normal dosage three times daily and notice the improvement.
This usually occurs after eating, sometimes up to two hours later. This very unpleasant feeling can be alleviated by taking the usual dosage of cider vinegar and water before meals.
As previously pointed out cider vinegar helps the blood to clot more easily. When a person who regularly drinks cider vinegar cuts himself, the wound will dry up almost instantaneously, as there will be no profuse bleeding. If, however, wounds do not heal quickly, the following procedure should be undertaken; two teaspoons of cider vinegar taken in half or a whole glass of water at mealtimes as well as in between, therefore six glasses in all are imbibed. For extra efficiency a very weak solution of cider vinegar with water can be applied to the sore, wound or cut.
Poultices of cider vinegar (see instructions under the heading Arthritis) can be applied to a stubborn open wound.
These have been known to be eradicated by drinking a teaspoon of cider vinegar neat! Alternatively cider vinegar with water can be taken before mealtimes to prevent this occurrence.
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE:
There are a number of reasons why a person suffers from this common yet serious condition. As mentioned earlier, health will be maintained only if one is prepared to adjust his living and eating habits. Cider vinegar is not the cure-ail of man's suffering, it is only one of the many means towards a healthier and happier life. In the case of High Blood Pressure, one's eating habits must be taken stock of to ensure a speedy and effective recovery. Emphasis is on the natural, organically grown foods which are given to us in the form of fresh fruits, vegetables and honey - rather than the high protein foods which include eggs, meat, milk, cheese, nuts, beans etc. A balance must be maintained between the proteins and carbohydrates and one should definitely not over indulge on these protein and starchy foods. Wheat products should also be eliminated completely, together with salt which is very detrimental to the health, especially for those suffering from high blood pressure. The following dosage should be taken daily: two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and honey in a glass of water - up to three to four times a day.
There are also a number of causes as to why people suffer from insomnia; however, there have been excellent results with the cider vinegar and honey treatment as follows: two teaspoons of cider vinegar and two of honey in a glass of water to be taken before retiring. It would also be beneficial to have a glass of this mixture by the bedside to sip if needed. Under no circumstances should drugs be resorted to, as these are both harmful and habit-forming. Under severe cases, a naturopath or homeopath should be consulted. If has been found that the prime cause of insomnia is due to a deficiency of phosphate of potash and phosphate of iron; this combination can be found in the biochemic salt known as kali phos, which can be obtained from your local health shop.

Kate Moss is most widely known for her successful, international modeling career, high profile relationships, party lifestyle and the cocaine drug scandal of 2005.
Moss was born on 16 January 1974, in Croydon. It was Sarah Doukas from the agency “Storm” who discovered Moss when she was 14 years old and she made her first appearance in magazine “The Face” at the age of 16.
After having appeared in several British magazines, she became the face of Calvin Klein and her career took off from there. She was the must have face of the 1990s and appeared in all the biggest magazines.
A number of critics have commented on the model’s figure over the years, as her image went against the figures of the taller more curvaceous models, such as Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer, the supermodels of the 1990s.
Kate Moss’s look was more heroin chic, which sparked rumors about her weight and possible drug use. It was Kate’s figure, which inspired the controversial size zero fashion image.
During her career she has been the face of campaigns for Calvin Klein, Chanel, Dolce and Gabbana, Gucci, Dior, Vivienne Westwood and Rimmel (who could forget the “Get The London Look”?) Her career transformed the model into a fashion icon popularizing the Ugg Boot, skinny jeans, ballet flats and more controversially the use of real fur, for which she received a huge amount of criticism from animal rights groups.
In 2005, Kate Moss was caught up in a cocaine scandal, whilst with her then boyfriend Pete Doherty, ex-Libertines member. It was reported that photos of the model snorting lines of cocaine had been sold to a tabloid newspaper.
The model was arrested and questioned over the possible drug offenses, but no charges were brought against her. She quickly finished her relationship with Pete Doherty.
However, following the scandal she lost many modeling contracts with fashion houses such as H&M and Chanel, although it was never confirmed that the scandal was the reason for the termination of the contracts.
Her career revival since this scandal has also caused some controversy.
However, in 2007 Moss made her career comeback, launching her own clothing collection at Topshop and since then has gone on to release fragrances bearing her name and most recently a lipstick range for Rimmel, which has just been released in the US.
Aside from her career in fashion, Moss has also appeared in several music videos with artists such as Elton John, Primal Scream, The White Stripes and Johnny Cash. She has also been the subject of portraits by artists such as Lucien Freud and Chuck Close.
Moss has also always associated her name with good causes. She is a long standing supporter of Breathrough Breast Cancer, whose t-shirts she modeled in the 1990s.
She is also a supporter of charities War Child, Cancer Research UK, Make Poverty History, Comic Relief and Elton John’s AIDS Foundations.
Kate Moss has had several high profile relationships, with some of her past lovers including Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio and designer Jefferson Hack, with whom she has a little girl, Lila Grace, who was born in September 2002.
She started dating Kills guitarist, Jamie Hince, in 2007 and they were married on 1 July 2011 in Gloucestershire. | <urn:uuid:7ec8590c-82b6-438f-83b1-2c66ff149746> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.wewomen.com/celebrities/kate-moss/kate-moss-star1408.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560281574.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095121-00024-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.98766 | 703 | 1.578125 | 2 |
What machine tool is used for the seam welding machine?
Views : 39
Update time : 2022-06-10 09:23:49
The steel cage roll welding machine of Guangdong roll welding machine is a kind of machine equipment used to manufacture and process steel cages. Because the steel cage has a high requirement for the spacing precision between the stirrups, the general processing technology is not suitable for it. . The appearance of the seam welding machine can not only further improve the work efficiency, but also its quality. Below I will tell you the advantages of the roll welding machine.
1. Faster processing speed: The processing efficiency of Guangdong seam welding machine is very high, and it will not take long for large product workpieces to be processed.
2. The stirrups do not need to be lapped when tightened. Compared with manual work, it saves about 1% of raw materials, which can greatly reduce the construction cost.
3. The main bars are evenly distributed on the circle, which is more convenient when several steel cages are overlapped, which can save the lifting time.
4. Mechanical automatic processing of steel cages, so as to have a stronger guarantee of quality.
5. The seam welding machine adopts the automatic work of CNC machine tools. The interval between the main bars and the coiled bars is uniform, and the diameter of the steel cage is the same, so as to ensure the quality and quantity to meet the requirements, making it more stable and reliable in processing. | <urn:uuid:ca5b0c8a-5df9-45f3-95db-794b5f478b4f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.fsfyweld.com/info-detail/what-machine-tool-is-used-for-the-seam-welding-machine | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571719.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812140019-20220812170019-00264.warc.gz | en | 0.931457 | 313 | 2.0625 | 2 |

Avian influenza refers to the disease caused by infection with avian (bird) influenza (flu) Type A viruses. These viruses occur naturally among wild aquatic birds worldwide and can infect domestic poultry and other bird and animal species. Avian flu viruses do not normally infect humans. However, sporadic human infections with avian flu viruses have occurred.
The best prevention is to avoid sources of exposure. Most human infections with avian influenza A viruses have occurred following direct close or prolonged contact with sick or dead infected poultry.

eGovernment will save the public purse in excess of $50 bn per year by 2020, according to new global research from the Secure Identity Alliance.
Highlighting the continued importance of cost and citizen experience drivers, the report highlights the role of trusted digital identity in enabling effective and secure eService deployment.
According to Frédéric Trojani, Chairman of the Board of the Alliance, “Whether we’re logging into eServices to perform healthcare claims, to vote or sign a digital transaction, pay taxes, book or buy goods or services, our digital identity will be absolutely central in the years to come. Convenience, privacy protection and security are therefore of paramount importance for trust in modern and efficient electronic government services. And as we move further towards 2020 the role of digital identity intensifies as the cost savings mount up.”
The forthcoming explosion of government eServices as identified by the research is wholly dependent on the development of a trust framework – combining governance, standards, business processes and technical capabilities.
Trojani adds: “While it’s true we’ll see multiple identities from multiple providers, the root identity – the one trusted digital identity upon which all are based – starts with Government. Strategies must be put in place now to assure those processes are robust and trusted by the citizens. The Secure Identity Alliance shall be the reference partner for Governments looking to offer cutting-edge technology in e-documents and e-services to their citizens”.
The report also identifies:
•Potential eGovernment savings by region to 2020, with savings in Europe and Asia growing at the highest rate
•Breakdown of savings for digital transactions, public administration and citizen time saving benefits
•Tracking by industry sector to eServices, showing pent-up demand for eGovernment services
•High profile eGovernment implementations across the world and crucial steps Governments can take to unlock better, more harmonised service delivery across agencies (and beyond) | <urn:uuid:d750dc2f-ecc5-411a-932c-26807da52bae> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.unpan.org/PublicAdministrationNews/tabid/115/mctl/ArticleView/ModuleID/1467/articleId/39786/Default.aspx | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560280835.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095120-00470-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.9052 | 402 | 1.835938 | 2 |
Framework for Imbuing Sustainable ‘Green’ Impact Among Local SMEs
SMEs within the rural Dutch municipality of Utrechtse Heuvelrug (UHG) are becoming increasingly aware of the need for sustainable ‘green’ business. Their sense of sustainability is strongly defined by the ‘green’ environment in which they live and work. They were seeking an entrepreneurial approach to sustainability that is reflective of the area and fits their ecosystem. This approach was to be aimed at innovation and branding. We assumed that the role and function of a location-based brand differs from that of product or corporate brands because it has more complexity. Taking place-branding theory as our starting point, we set out to construe a brand that is a) based on local identity and b) has the power to motivate and mobilize SME entrepreneurs to form cooperative sustainable networks. This paper presents our analysis for a brand framework and demonstrates how it has been applied to imbue sustainable ‘green’ impact.

A young man with a special gift of reaching hearts
Ben Ben-Eliezer (2002 –)
2 minute readRead More
The daughter of a South Korean pastor, Jeanie dreamed of studying special education, but was thwarted by her mother. “Mom was afraid I might fall in love with a disabled man, so I majored in social work instead.”
And then Jeanie and her husband, Kevin, had two disabled children of their own. First came Sarah, whose childhood, Jeanie says, “was an endless round of physical, occupational, speech, and play therapies.”
Two years after Sarah came Sejune, a healthy boy. In 2001, when he was two, the family moved to Darvell, a Bruderhof in England that they had visited several years earlier. Part of what drew them was the community’s attitude toward people with disabilities. While some members of their former church had hinted that the Ohs’ daughter was God’s way of punishing them for conceiving her before they were married, Bruderhof members assured them that God is a God of mercy, and that Sarah was not a punishment, but a gift.
Not that life in the community was all easy: as if learning English and adapting to a completely foreign culture wasn’t enough, Jeanie struggled to accept support when a young woman offered to join their family full time to do housework and care for Sarah.
You might wonder why extra help would be a burden, and in itself, it wasn’t. In fact, I was grateful beyond words. Sejune was eighteen months old and Sarah three, and she couldn’t walk. She was constantly having seizures. But accepting help offended my sense of dignity and hurt my pride. It made me feel that my family was a burden.
Then, in 2002, the Ohs had a second daughter, Serin. Her disabilities were even more severe than her older sister’s. A second young woman was assigned to the family, and then a third, to help with night care.
I was always crying, and Kevin didn’t know what to do with me. He was happy for all the help. I thought he was an idiot. How could he just let go and allow other people to take over our family? I was so conflicted. I asked for advice, and got advice I couldn’t accept. I needed help, but didn’t want it.
Meanwhile, even with all the support we got, I was often at the end of my rope just taking care of the healthy members of my family. I remember Sejune telling me when he was four that he wanted to be blind. I said, “What?” He said, “No one ever notices me. If I were blind, then people would also say hello to me, and not just to Sarah and Serin.” Today he’s a student in London, studying physiotherapy.
Then, one evening, I was sitting there wondering why I had two disabled girls – there was no rational explanation – and suddenly, all the tightness in my heart was gone, and I could laugh. I just laughed and laughed – I don’t know why – and I found myself telling God that I was done with being stubborn: that I accepted my girls, and also all the love the community was giving us. I said,
Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.
Over the next years, Jeanie began to see her daughters in a completely new light. They were a gift, not only to her family, but also to the community at large, and most especially to the many young women who came through her house to care for Sarah and Serin, and to be cared for by them. Most of them were just out of high school, doing a gap year before college.
You have to imagine how cool some of these girls were. And then, to see them be changed by Serin, who could hardly talk. The only way they could interact with her was through singing or playing childlike finger games.
And Sarah – she is very sensitive and perceptive. She kept asking this one person, “What’s up? Something is wrong. You need to talk with someone.” Which turned out to be true.
Sarah has a simple, childlike faith. One time she told a caregiver, a rebellious young woman who was not the happiest character, “You need to find Jesus. You need to get baptized.” A few months later, that young woman had a conversion, and did.
In the meantime, Jeanie was expecting a fourth child, and agonizing over the prospect of another one with disabilities. At a members’ meeting one night, she and Kevin broke down as they shared their anxieties. Other people were in tears too, she says. Then one person after another got up and assured the Ohs that it would make no difference whether they had a typical child, or another one with disabilities. Their child “would be welcome, no matter what.”
“They said, ‘Your children are our children,’” Jeanie remembers. “The love was amazing.” As it happened, the child was a perfectly healthy boy, Seroo.
Looking back, Jeanie says that her journey so far has been “like a snail trail.”
Everything always moves so slowly in our house, and that sometimes hurts. While their classmates are going off to high school or college, my girls are having another seizure or healing from another fall.
Sometimes I lose my peace. At times, I can hardly pray anymore. Then Kevin helps me by pointing out all the things we can be grateful for. Mostly he doesn’t preach, though, because he knows I can’t take sermons! One time – I’ll never forget it – he just said, “Look, Jeanie, our girls can smile at us even after the most terrible seizures. Their rooms must be filled with angels. What more do you want than that?”

|Summary, etc.:|| A brilliant amalgam of remembrance and reportage, by turns satiric, celebratory, nostalgic, and melancholy, Life on the Mississippi evokes the great river that Mark Twain knew as a boy and young man and the one he revisited as a mature and successful author. Written between the publication of his two greatest novels, Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, Twain's rich portrait of the Mississippi marks a distinctive transition in the life of the river and the nation, from the boom years preceding the Civil War to the sober times that followed it.
|System Details Note:|| Compact disc.

Signet Assistive Listening
Induction loop systems allow the hard of hearing the ability to hear far more clearly. The T or MT switch on most hearing aids allow them to pick up the electromagnetic field generated by the induction loop system and converts this signal into a sound suited for each users individual hearing requirements. They can also be used for applications such as Broadcast, Guided Tours, Surveillance and Talkback Systems.
