Vitovsky, Dmytro [Vitovs’kyj], b 8 November 1887 in Medukha, Stanyslaviv county, Galicia, d 8 July 1919 near Ratibor, Silesia, Germany. (Photo: Dmytro Vitovsky.) Military officer. A student activist at Lviv University, he later organized educational and paramilitary organizations in Stanyslaviv. |
During the First World War he served in the Legion of Ukrainian Sich Riflemen as a company commander and carried out special assignments. He was chairman of the Ukrainian Military Committee, which staged the November Uprising in Lviv, 1918. He |
was briefly (1–5 November 1918) the first commander of the Ukrainian Galician Army and then minister of defense of the Western Ukrainian National Republic (until 13 February 1919). On 1 January 1919 he was promoted from major to colonel. After |
serving on the Ukrainian National Rada (February–April 1919) he attended the Paris Peace Conference as a member of the Western Ukrainian delegation. On the return flight his plane crashed, and he was killed. [This article originally appeared in the Encyclopedia |
The Environmental Bureau of Investigation (EBI) is dedicated to the protection of public resources through the application and enforcement of environmental laws. A citizen-based investigative outfit, EBI investigates pollution sources |
and, when necessary, prosecutes those responsible. EBI's methods include investigation, prosecution, exposure and education. The goals of EBI are to investigate and prosecute environmental crime, assist individuals and groups in |
their fight against polluters, develop public education tools to empower citizens to stop pollution, and publish and publicize information on pollution sources and sites. To ensure scientifically and legally strong |
arguments, EBI researches its cases thoroughly and focuses on a few projects that directly relate to its objectives. EBI's success in these endeavours is determined by the environmental action and |
Toilets are by far the main source of water use in the home, accounting for nearly 30 percent of an average home's indoor water consumption. Older, inefficient toilets that use |
as much as 6 gallons per flush also happen to be a major source of wasted water in many homes. Recent advancements have allowed toilets to use 1.28 gallons per |
flush or less while still providing equal or superior performance. This is 20 percent less water than the current federal standard of 1.6 gallons per flush. The WaterSense label is |
used on toilets that are independently certified to meet rigorous criteria for both performance and efficiency. Only water–saving toilets that complete the certification process can earn the WaterSense label. By |
replacing old, inefficient toilets with WaterSense labeled models, the average family can reduce water used for toilets by 20 to 60 percent—that's nearly 13,000 gallons of water savings for your |
home every year! They could also save more than $110 per year in water costs, and $2,200 over the lifetime of the toilets. Nationally, if all old, inefficient toilets in |
the United States were replaced with WaterSense labeled models, we could save 520 billion gallons of water per year, or the amount of water that flows over Niagara Falls in |
about 12 days. Look for the WaterSense Label! Whether remodeling a bathroom, starting construction of a new home, or simply replacing an old, leaky toilet that is wasting money and |
water, installing a WaterSense labeled toilet is a high-performance, water-efficient option worth considering. WaterSense labeled toilets are available at a wide variety of price points and a broad range of |
styles and in many areas, utilities offer rebates and vouchers that can lower the price of a WaterSense labeled toilet. Are you a manufacturer interested in labeling your high-efficiency toilet, |
Two-way approaches to Indigenous mental health literacy Nagel, Tricia M., Thompson, Carolyn, Robinson, Gary, Condon, John, and Trauer, Thomas (2009) Two-way approaches to Indigenous mental health literacy. Australian Journal of Primary Health, 15 (1). pp. 50-55. |PDF (Published Version) - |
illness. It aimed to explore Indigenous mental health promotion with Aboriginal mental health workers (AMHW) in order to develop strategies for effective mental health intervention. The research was conducted in three remote Indigenous communities in the top end of the |
Northern Territory with AMHW. Assessment, psycho-education, and care-planning resources were developed with local AMHW through exploration of local Indigenous perspectives of mental health promotion. Qualitative research methods and an ethnographic approach were used to elicit information, and data included key |
informant interviews, participant observation, music, photography and story telling. The study confirms that Indigenous people in remote communities prefer to use story telling and local language, local artwork and local music to convey health information. It also confirms that family |
The thesis describes in detail the area of the uranium lodes in the South Alligator River valley in the Northern Territory of Australia. The four land forms are described, together with the soils developed on them, and the morphological and |
genetic relationships of the latter are discussed. The published stratigraphy of the area is recapitulated, and some changes of viewpoint are advocated: an unconformity within the Upper Proterozoic rocks is described; the characteristics of the Scinto Breccia unit are ascribed |
to silicification of diverse stratigraphic units; the allegedly organic origin of calcareous rocks of the Koolpin Formation is disputed; and the lack of obvious signs of unconformity between the Stag Creek Volcanics (Archaeozoic?) and the Lower Proterozoic sequence is pointed |
out. A petrological study of a collection of rocks from the area is made, and this includes a description of some diaspore-rich volcanics in which the uranium mineralisation appears to be of syngenetic origin. The characteristics of the ore bodies |
or radioactive prospects are described, together with the ore-deposition controls. An epigenetic origin is postulated for most of the uranium deposits. Exploration techniques employed in the discovery or evaluation of the ore bodies are discussed, and the results are reported |
of a programme of geochemical testing of stream waters in the drainage basin. It is concluded that, in this area, the geochemical technique has only limited usefulness for the discovery of uranium. The extraction of ore, and its subsequent treatment |
by solvent-extraction processes is described. An account is given of some other uranium occurrences in northern Australia viz., the Rum Jungle, Mary Kathleen and Pandanus Creek ore bodies, and the radioactive or mineralised prospects at Denham River and Saunders Creek |
in Western Australia. A general account of theories of emplacement of uranium ore in Australia and elsewhere postulates an epigenetic origin from a magmatic source for most of the Australian deposits, but accepts a sedimentary origin for the uranium associated |

Students may write literature reviews in form of assignments or in form of annotated bibliography. It is written in form of a discursive prose, and does not summarize one piece |
of literature after the other. Literature review is often part of an essay’s introduction, research report or thesis’ introduction. Students should organize literature reviews into sections presenting themes or including |
a relevant story. Literature reviews aim at evaluating and synthesizing published material in accordance to the guiding concept of the research question. Students write literature reviews in order to inform |
the readers about their knowledge and ideas concerning a topic. Moreover, literature reviews show the strengths and weaknesses of a literature topic. Literature review is a kind of writing defined |
by a guiding concept. Such a guiding concept may be the problem or issue under discussion, research objective or an argumentative thesis. Students are not supposed to use a set |
of summaries or mere descriptive list of available material when writing literature reviews. Literature reviews help students to enhance their knowledge about a topic, and help them gain a wide |
variety of skills. The skills demonstrated by students writing literature reviews are as following: The first skill is information seeking which is the ability of students to efficiently scan literature. |
Scanning is done using computerized methods or manually in order to identify the useful books and articles. The second skill is critical appraisal. This refers to the ability of students |
to apply analytical principles in order to identify valid and unbiased studies. A literature review should portray organization, and must relate to the research question or thesis formulated. A literature |
review must also synthesize results by summarizing them to known and unknown. The other vital point is for a literature review to identify controversial areas in literature and lastly, to |
formulate questions that require in-depth research. A student needs to identify the research question that his or her literature review helps to define. Moreover, a student must identify or know |
the scope of the literature review, and the types of publications used when writing the literature review. It is essential for a student to do enough research in order to |
gather relevant material for writing a literature review. Moreover, the research has to be narrow enough to exclude the irrelevant material that do not form part of the literature review. |
Critical analysis of a literature review is of the essence. This ensures that a student or writer writers a high-quality literature review. When writing annotated bibliography, students should not summarize |
each item but instead they should follow themes and critically assess the literature review material. Students should state the scope of the literature review using an overall introduction and conclusion. |
Grouping of items into sections helps students to show relationships and comparisons. Literature review writing can be a complicated task to students. Hence, students should seek literature review writing help |
from writing sites and companies. A reliable company should provide custom literature review papers at an affordable price. Moreover, the customized literature review papers must be written from scratch by |
professional, academic writers. It is essential for a reliable company to hire writers who can write literature reviews on diverse literature books and based on several topics. Our company provides |

Rewriting PTR salinity, alkalinity, chemical toxicity and drainage based on the wrb-standard Review of available information in the SGDBE In the SGDBE, the attribute WR gives information about the water regime of the STU following 4 classes.

I have been discussing a multitude of issues including quantitative easing, Ricardian Equivalence, and the current state of monetary policy with Scott Sumner over the in comments of his excellent blog and it has given me the inspiration to provide |
a more thorough outline of my thinking. I think that the best way to think about money is, as Leland Yeager might say, in terms of monetary equilibrium. In other words, if we view money as being just one other |
good in a Walrasian general equilibrium model, then an excess demand (supply) of money is accompanied by an excess supply (demand) of goods and services. Thus, maintaining monetary equilibrium is essential to achieving economic stability. What’s more, the particular problem |
with an excess demand (or supply) of money is that money has no market of its own. Or as Keynes would say, labor cannot be shifted away from the production of goods where there is an excess supply to the |
manufacture of money. Further, the fact that money does not have a market of its own implies that an excess demand (supply) of money will have an impact on all markets because money is a medium of exchange. My view |
here is not unique. In fact, Nick Rowe recently wrote an excellent post on this very topic that rightfully referenced the work of Robert Clower. The central point is that individuals have notional demands for money, goods, and services. Notional |
demand is understood as the intended demand. Thus, suppose for example that everyone arrives at some centralized market with their own plans for consumption and ultimate real money balances. If there is an excess demand for say lemonade, individuals can |
bid up the price of lemonade and the market will clear. If the excess demand is for money, however, there exists no price to adjust to clear the market and the effective demand for goods and services will fall short |
of supply. A very simple way to think about monetary equilibrium is in the context of the equation of exchange: MV = PY where M is money, V is velocity, P is the price level, and Y is real output. |
Thus, M is the supply of money and V can be seen as the demand for money. (A particular note: velocity is understood as the number of times that the average dollar — or other medium of account* — is |
turned over. Thus an decrease in velocity reflects an increase in the demand for money.) Monetary equilibrium therefore implies that the product MV should be constant (and thus so should nominal GDP, or PY. Keep in mind that this is |
a static analysis). The maintenance of monetary equilibrium essentially implies that monetary policy should be aimed at satisfying money demand (or nominal income) rather than the price level (as is currently the case). Thus, in a growing economy, the price |
level should actually be falling as increases in real output and productivity put downward pressure on prices. This type of thinking loosely forms the basis for what George Selgin calls the productivity norm. Such a maintenance of monetary equilibrium has |
a rich history in the course of economic thought (see Selgin, 1995). So how does this framework relate to the current situation? Scott Sumner believes that the current recession could have been avoided using a nominal income target (more specifically, |
using nominal income futures targeting). I am not sure that I agree with this assertion, but it does fit with this framework. Allow me to explain. If Sumner is correct, then (using our simple equation of exchange model) anticipations of |
lower nominal income would be reflected in an increase in the demand for money or a decrease in spending (a fall in V). (Alternatively, it is possible that the increase in the demand for money could be an exogenous event |
