Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry is scheduled to meet Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday evening, just days before the New Suez Canal’s inauguration on 6 August.
Also on Tuesday, Abbas is scheduled to meet with Arab League Secretary General Nabil El-Araby.
Abbas is among other heads of states who have come to Egypt to attend the inauguration, as per Egypt’s invitation.
On 31 July, an 18-month-old Palestinian toddler was burned alive in an arson attack in the Palestinian village of Duma in the West Bank, when Israeli settlers set alight his family home, destroying it. The act sparked international outrage and was condemned strongly by the Egyptian government.
The Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) held the Israeli government accountable for the attack, although the Israeli government condemned the attack and blamed it on “Jewish extremists”.
The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, B’Tselem, said in a statement following the attack that the incident “was only a matter of time”, since the Israeli government does not enforce laws against Israelis who harm Palestinians.
B’Tselem further described the policy undertaken by Israel as one that “creates impunity for hate crimes”. Several similar charges took place over the past three years in the West Bank, without any charges brought forth.
Palestine joined the International Criminal Court (ICC) in April to press “war crime charges” against Israel. The burning of the Palestinian toddler will be brought forth, along with the crimes committed during the Israel-Gaza conflict last year, Abbas previously said.
The conflict lasted for 50 days, and left more than 2,000 Palestinians dead, 10,000 homes partially or completely destroyed, and Gaza’s infrastructure completely damaged.
The war was sparked when Palestinian teenager Mohamed Abu Khdeir was burned alive in East Jerusalem days earlier, in response to the abduction and killing of three Israeli teenagers. The incidents resulted in the war on Gaza being triggered.
Egypt brokered a ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Palestinian movement, Hamas, to end the conflict in late August 2014. | 2019-04-25T16:30:06 | https://www.dailynewsegypt.com/2015/08/04/abbas-to-meet-shoukry-el-araby-prior-to-new-suez-canal-opening/ |

Also known as "ling" burbot are the only freshwater member of the cod family. They are easily identified by their eel-like appearance, round tail, and a single barbel (whisker) protruding from their lower jaw. Among the many characteristics that make burbot an unusual fish is their spawning behavior. Whereas most fish spawn in the spring, summer, or fall, burbot spawn in the dead of winter. Spawning takes place in shallow water in a great writhing aggregation of fish.
Burbot look like a cross between an American eel and a brown bullhead. A layer of tiny scales covers a thick, slimy skin. Mottled coloration in shades of yellows and browns resembles the markings of a wild cat and serves the same purpose. Burbot aren’t strong swimmers, relying instead on camouflage and a sensitive lateral line to capture food. Their strong triangular jaws are filled with rows of tiny teeth, designed to seize and swallow live prey.
Burbot are fish that don’t generate a lot of buzz, in general, among anglers. That’s because in most cases, they share the same habitats with other, more interesting game fish, like steelheads, pike, walleye, smallmouths or largemouths. Plus, they’re nocturnal, they’re “winter” fish, and they’re not that easy to catch any time during daytime, especially in summer time.
If you haven’t caught burbot so far, they look something between catfish and eel. Photo speaks for itself. But despite their rather ugly appearance, they’re really tasty fish. So, if you would like to try something new, and burbot are on your list, here are a few words about their diet, habitat, and some tackle tips.
Burbot are specific to the 40°N latitude, most common in lakes and streams of North America and Europe, quite common in the Great Lakes. Although they prefer, and they’re usually found, in cold rivers, lakes and water reservoirs, they can also live in brackish waters. They’re bottom feeders, crepuscular and night hunters, highly piscivorous. They tolerate quite a variety of bottom compositions, their feeding grounds can include sand, silt, rubble, gravel or mud. They spawn during the winter months, when they migrate to shallower waters near shoals, or leave the lakes for rivers.
Since burbot are bottom feeders, evidently you’re going to have to look for them on lake or river bottoms, and during summer, in deeper, colder water substrats. They can live at depths up to 300 m (over 950 ft.). On the Great Lakes, but also in general, the best burbot fishing is done from December to March. Within this interval, they move from the deepest parts of the lakes, to the gravelly and sandy shoals, to reproduce, and they can be caught in a depth range of 50-30ft. So, if you really want to score one or two decent burbots, you kinda have to prepare for some cold, late-winter nights.
There are two main fishing techniques for burbot: still-fishing with rather heavy sinkers and stink baits, dead or live bait, or active fishing with heavier lures, of various types. Of course, since burbot are winter fish, ice fishing is another method, which calls for a different approach and tackle, however, baits are the same.
Since burbot fishing is night fishing, it’s always a good idea to provide some sort of glow-in-the-dark buzz. So, consider using glowing lures, jig heads, or small glow sticks tied near the hooks.
Live bait. Burbot are highly piscivorous, thus many anglers have reported better results with live baits rather than dead or stink baits. If you’re going with live bait, nightcrawlers, whitefish, minnows, eels, crayfish, leeches, freshwater mussels or snails are great choices. Also, whatever small benthic fish (bottom feeders) dwell in the lake or river you’re fishing for burbot, should be an excellent choice. But in general, they’re not very picky when it comes to food. Don’t forget though to check the regulations regarding live bait for in a new area you’re fishing at, though.
Dead baits. Among the dead baits, you can always try any type of fish strips available, like herring, salmon, sucker, northern pikeminnow or liver strips etc. It’s not a bad idea to prepare your dead bait one or two days before, adding some fish attractant (Smelly Jelly Pro Guide Crawfish Salt Attractant is a great choice ) to whatever fish strips or small dead fish you’re going to use, and letting them imbibe well.
An important aspect to know about burbot is that they will almost always grab their food head first, so, if you using small fish, no matter how you fix them on the terminal tackle, the hook should be near the tail of the bait fish.
Lures. Glow in the dark jigs, spoons and spinners are excellent for catching burbot, if you want to go with lures. For jigs, the classic 3/8 is always a good choice, especially if paired with twister tail grubs. Small tubes, cover craws, or double-tailed worms work as well. Make sure that any rubber / plastic bait you’re using is glowy. If you’re fishing in deeper waters than 30-40ft., from a pier, from the shore of from a boat, you might want to use heavier jigs, up to 4oz.
Other lures with great results with were glow in the dark tandem spinners or Cleo spoons or Swedish Pimples.
In general, no matter what lure you use, you will considerably increase it’s productivity and buzz by adding a piece of natural bait on it, whether is a small minnow, a fish strip, a nightcrawler or red earthworm. They have taste organs on the small barbel underneath their mouth, and sometimes they check the lure. If it doesn’t taste right, they will move along.
Rods. Depending on the fishing method you’re using for catching burbot, you can use different types of rods. For example, if you’re still-fishing and you’re not handling the rod too much, a longer (9’6″ – 14′), slow action rod is better. In case you’re jigging, a shorter rod (6’6″-8′), fast or medium-fast action is best, as it will allow you to feel the jig, or whatever lure you’re using, better. Of course, for ice fishing, you’re going to need a short, ice stick, so a 34-36 graphite rod, with quite a bit of a backbone will do excellently.
Reels. The optimal lb. test line range for burbot is 10-15 lb., therefore, have your rod paired with a small / medium size reel, with a spool appropriate for this line range. Best recommendations I can make here, are Penn spinning reels, such as Penn Battle II Spinning Reel, 5000 , or 4000, an Abu Garcia ORRA2SX30-C Orra SX Spinning Reel Spinner, or a Daiwa Exceler Spinning Reel 3500 .
Line. As I mentioned above, 10-15lb. test, monofilament, is a good choice for catching burbot. However, if you find a spot with bigger ones, you should go with 20lb. Also, depending on how snaggy the bottom is, braided might be a better alternative in some cases.
Hooks. Burbot have big mouths, so don’t be afraid yo use bigger hooks. No. 4 – 7 should do. However, depending on the bait you’re using, you may need hooks with long or short shank. For example, if you’re fishing with mussels, you’ll need short shanked hooks, while if you’re using fish strips or nightcrawlers, longer hooks with medium or longer shanks are better.
Rigs. When it comes to rigging for burbot, first it’s best to be informed about the rules and regulations of the area you’re fishing at. You may not be allowed to use more than a certain number of hooks, or specific rigs. But in general, the classic rig, with the sinker (4 to 8oz.) at the end of the line and the hook attached a 10 inch leader should do. Since they have small teeth, it’s not bad to have a braided or fluoro leader, as these types of line are more resistant to abrasion. Also, it’s important that the bait lays on the bottom, so using a small sinker on the hook, or a small jig headed hooks is not a bad idea.
Hopefully the information provided on this page will make you more successful at catching burbot. However, you may still want to expand your research on burbot fishing and look into additional resources. That’s why I’ve provided you with additional places below where you can learn more about trout fishing.

A team of New Hanover Regional Medical Center employees spent a recent morning loading medical supplies on to a tractor trailer for shipment to Masindi, Uganda. The shipment is bound for a new hospital clinic built by Palmetto Medical Initiative (PMI) of Charleston, South Carolina. The new clinic is expected to provide sustainable health care to thousands of Ugandans who currently do not have access to quality care, but the newly built clinic had no medical supplies to allow the team to begin caring for their patients.
Emergency physician Dr. Ted Winneberger heard about their plight and knew NHRMC Mission Ready could help. After weeks of coordination, Winneberger led the team of employees who loaded approximately $108,000 worth of supplies and equipment, filling a 40-foot shipping container, paid for by Palmetto Medical Initiative. Supplies included beds, IV poles, dressing materials, defibrillators, splinting materials and more.
Dr. Winneberger is also working on gathering a shipment of supplies to go to Zimbabawe before the end of the year.
NHRMC Mission Ready is a program that allows the hospital to collect and inventory supplies that can't be used in the United States, because they have passed the manufacturer's expiration date or were part of a package that was opened, but never used. Clean and far superior to what's available in developing countries; these supplies would be thrown away here, but could save a life elsewhere.

Research conducted at Purdue University by biochemist W. Andy Tao, Ph.D., details that development of a new protein array that can detect certain types of proteins that are indicators or cancer and other diseases.
Dr. Tao, reports the development of a new protein array—a high-throughput platform to analyze multiple proteins in parallel—for separating glycoproteins from unmodified proteins. Dr. Tao also demonstrated its effectiveness for identifying glycoproteins associated with bladder cancer. The findings (“Three-Dimensionally Functionalized Reverse Phase Glycoprotein Array for Cancer Biomarker Discovery and Validation”) are published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
Glycoproteins are formed when sugars attach to and modify a protein. In some cases, a combination of glycoproteins present in a sample of blood or urine could be an indicator of disease or cancer. But those glycoproteins can be elusive. There has been no antibody to differentiate between them and regular proteins. And the complex and bulky sugar groups can make it difficult for even standard protein-detection antibodies to find their targets.
Dr. Tao developed a nano-sized polymer, called polyGPA (poly GlycoProtein Array), that attaches to the sugar groups of glycoproteins and brings them to the surface of the protein array. The nanopolymer also repositions the glycoprotein so that the antibodies used to detect unmodified proteins can better reach their targets.
He noted that tests showed his method is 17 to 25 times more likely to identify proteins that might have otherwise been missed in regular testing procedures. He was also able to identify glycoproteins associated with bladder cancer in a urine sample.
“It is possible to use our platform to identify these sugar-modified proteins as a biomarker for bladder cancer,” added Dr. Tao, who plans to work to commercialize his nanopolymer-modified protein array through his company, Tymora Analytical Operations, which operates in the Purdue University Research Park. The company makes the pIMAGO nanopolymer, which can be used to determine whether cancer drugs have been effective against biochemical processes that can lead to cancer cell formation, and polyMAC, a nanopolymer that helps scientists retrieve and study proteins that are undergoing processes related to cancer cell formation. | 2019-04-19T16:56:22 | https://www.clinicalomics.com/topics/precision-medicine-topic/cancer/new-method-detects-protein-biomarkers-for-cancer-other-diseases/ |

Running a business required a lot of resources in which budget, talent, skills, experience and time, all count together for the success of the business. For a large business, arranging these resources are not difficult but for a small business, it could be very challenging. The introduction of internet in human life has changed a lot of aspects of human life. One of them is the business.
Today, a business, whether it’s online or offline, could not survive until it does not have a visibility about its products and services on the internet in shape of a website or at least a yellow page. For a large business, the internet has opened many new doors for the success, but for small business, it does not, because they usually have limited resources to use. But it does not mean that the owner of the small business should not invest in online marketing techniques like SEO.
Search Engine Optimization or SEO is no less than a blessing for the small business. If it has been done correctly, then a small business could be turned into a brand within weeks. But only if it has been done correctly, with the help of professional SEO experts who have skills, knowledge, and training.
The main reason which makes SEO popular in the business world is the TRAFFIC. SEO is famous for this reason. SEO can bring a lot of traffic to your website if it has been done in correct way. This traffic is not paid but an organic one. These are the people who reached on your website through search engine, like Google, Bing or Yahoo. It is not necessary that this traffic turned into your customer but it can guarantee that your products are being visible to a large number of people who can be your customer in near future.
If you want to stand in the market, generate sales and building more customers then you have to keep an eye on your competitors. SEO is not a process which can be ended at a certain level. You have to keep work on it to bring more and more traffic to your business website. If your website is not ranking on the first page of search engine, it’s mean that your competitors are also spending time and money on SEO.
SEO works for everyone, even if you are limited to the marketing budget. You do not require spending a big amount of money on this type of internet marketing. You can start from as low as $1 (actually 1 cent too). Although, if you train yourself with SEO, then it is free for you except you have to give your time. The companies who offer SEO services have so many flexible packages which make it easy for small business to afford.
When you’re considering other Digital Marketing Strategies like PPC Advertising or Social Media Marketing, SEO offers a comparatively decent ROI.
According to research, today, more than 80% customers like to get information about a product which they are planning to purchase. These numbers are increasing day by day due to increase in mobile traffic. If you want them to know about your product in detail, then you have to invest in SEO so that they can easily reach to the page which they are looking for. This will generate revenue for your business.
SEO can bring so many opportunities even for the small business. That’s why the owners of the small business should invest in it. In the near future, it will become very difficult for a business to survive without having an online authority of their business, which can be generated with the help of SEO. | 2019-04-19T14:29:57 | https://www.perfectviral.com/why-seo-is-important-for-business/ |

The low volatility factor is being glossed over this year in favor of growth and momentum, but that does not mean opportunity is lost with exchange traded funds such as the PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility Portfolio (NYSEArca: SPLV).
In fact, SPLV and the rival iShares MSCI USA Minimum Volatility ETF (NYSEArca: USMV) hit new highs on Wednesday. USMV selects stocks based on variances and correlations while SPLV holds the 100 S&P 500 stocks with the lowest trailing 12-month volatility. Additionally, there could be catalysts that could renew investors’ affinity for low volatility ETFs, including the Federal Reserve.
Low-volatility factor investments work on the idea that they help cushion against market turns, limiting drawdowns that investors experience while providing upside potential. Consequently, the low- or min-vol strategies may produce better risk-adjusted returns over the long haul, which has been backed by extensive academic research. | 2019-04-26T02:38:28 | https://www.etftrends.com/smart-beta-channel/theres-still-something-to-be-said-for-low-vol-etfs/ |

With the G20 Summit getting under way this week in Seoul, South Korea, President Obama is expected to announce a new effort to pass the pending KORUS (South Korea-US) Free Trade Agreement. This would be the largest FTA passed since NAFTA and would represent a similar blow to family farmers and manufacturing workers in both countries, with the same assaults as NAFTA on environmental and labor standards and the very concept of national sovereignty.

The new micro-dolichopodid genus Haromyia gen. nov. and the type species H. iviei sp. nov. are described from the island of Dominica in the Lesser Antilles. Males and females of Haromyia are distinguished by the large setae on a bulging clypeus, minute size, and wing veins that are nearly straight and evenly diverging from wing base. Haromyia does not fit readily into any contemporary dolichopodid subfamily, although it superficially resembles the Enliniinae and Achalcinae. Haromyia should be regarded as incertae sedis until the dolichopodid subfamilies can be refined, particularly to better incorporate the tropical diversity of this large family.

There are many organizations whose campuses do not have the luxury of new buildings, and some are 50+ years old. What this means is that running fiber in old multistory buildings is expensive, difficult and very time consuming. It's safe to say that the in-building fiber infrastructure is fairly fixed. As the user population grows, the network grows. The preferred SOP is to dual home each switch to the STP root and secondary root. This means that for N number of switches you need 4N fiber strands. That's one TX/RX pair to the STP root and another TX/RX pair to the STP secondary root. As you may have guessed, being low on fiber infrastructure is a regular issue. Because of this, many switches only go to one upstream switch, or switches get daisy chained, which not a best practice. The implications of this is that any network maintenance or failure on the aggregation box impacts the smaller leaf switches. One possible solution is to use a larger chassis solution, like a 4500 or a 2970/3750 switch stack to reduce the number of switches and uplinks, but this is not always a viable solution. Below is a sample cookie cutter topology.
There is a fix for this cabling infrastructure limitation, assuming that you're using Single Mode Fiber, SFPs that only use one strand for both TX and RX! These are commonly referred to as BX optics. They work by having TX and RX operate on a different frequency, using an internal optical splitter to separate the frequencies. One side will transmit on 1310nm with the other side receiving on 1310nm, and the reverse path riding on 1490nm. Yes, this does require 2 different SFPs which are referred to as D side and U side. The D optic transmits on 1490nm while the U optic transmits on 1310nm. | 2019-04-24T06:50:26 | https://networking.ventrefamily.com/2010/08/1000base-bx10.html |
According to data released yesterday by the U.S. Census Bureau in their annual American Community Survey (via WNYC), New York state has the highest percentage of women who have never married in all of America. While the percentage statewide is 34.8 percent (that counts New York women 15 and over, which seems a bit young to us, but, then, we’re not crunching the numbers), that statistic is supported largely by the women of New York City, where never-married ladies make up 41.7 percent of the population.
However, lest you start arguing that this is exactly the problem of dating in the city (more women than men means women can’t find a guy and get hitched, a/k/a, the so-called Plight of the Single Lady), know that 46.7 percent of New York City men have never been married. So, it’s actually rather even-sided. In fact, MORE men than women have never been married.
According to recent stats, single women outnumber single men in New York by 149,219, which accounts for the continuing argument some make that women who really want to find a husband should head West, like, to Wyoming, where never-married women number only 20.7 percent.
In New York, statistically, we also get married far later than the average (in our 30s rather than our 20s, generally speaking), for a variety of reasons, and there’s a dividing line of sorts with regard to race: Asians in New York City were the most likely to be married, while 51 percent of black women and 54 percent of black men had never been married. Unmarried moms have gone up as well: 37 percent of New York City moms were not married in 2010.
On the plus side, New York has some pretty damn low divorce rates. And just think of all the singles you can mingle with tonight to celebrate not getting hit by a piece of space junk.

As a lifelong cat lover, I find a lot of joy in the two cats that make our house their home. The humans in our house always come first when it comes to care and concern, but I think it’s important to take good care of whatever pets live in your house. Indoor pets are used to a certain level of normalcy and calm (depending on how busy your household tends to be!) and home repair, renovations or a move can be really upsetting for them.
When I saw the contractors pull up in our driveway, I grabbed a few kitty treats and lured my cats down the hall to our guest bedroom. They were safely in the room, munching on their treats when the loud men wearing heavy shoes starting clomping down the hall. While the workers were moving things in and out of the house, I didn’t have to worry about the cats escaping through the open door.
This is also a good idea for moving day. I would place a sign on the door so your moving helpers don’t open the door and unknowingly let your pets escape!
I have an extra litter box that I placed in that guest bedroom, along with food and water. I made sure there was room for them to hide under the bed and also opened the blinds so they could look outside. We ended up having to run very loud dehumidifiers in the hall for over 36 hours, and the cats weren’t interested in leaving that room! They used the litter box I set up for them and didn’t leave me any surprises under the bed.
It’s been over a week since our bathrooms have been remodeled, but the cats are still cautious when entering either room. The fresh paint, new flooring and fixtures are still uncertain territory for them! I left the litter box and food in the bedroom for several days but also maintained their litter box and food area in the usual space. They gradually transitioned from the bedroom back to their original area, and I didn’t find any surprises along the way.
Great advice! My cats prefer quiet when possible so it’s nice when they can avoid the chaos of moving or house projects. Isn’t it funny that the cats are skeptical of your new bathrooms?? I bet they’ll eventually warm up. My cats always like to drink out of the sinks.
Both of my cats are very aware of new things – if I set out a new pillow or decor item, they notice it right away and have to smell it. I think a whole room of new stuff was just a lot for them to take in. Ha! | 2019-04-25T15:45:39 | https://comehomeforcomfort.com/2017/10/16/caring-for-your-pets-during-home-renovations/ |

Just About Anything: Look Who's Having Fun?
I have mentioned in my previous post that we went to Mama Sara's to visit and extend our condolences. And guess who is having so much fun with Elmo, Cookie Monster and the Lil Girl?
Yup! You got it right! Sam had so much fun playing with her new found stuffy friends and here are some of her photos. She was giggling and laughing so hard for the first time last night and Dad took her video. You may check the video here since I can't seem to embed a video in my posts. Sigh!
But anyway, I hope you enjoy the photos of our Sam who is now 7 months old!
Who are you, Lil Girl?
Don't let go of my hand, okay?
Just wait... let me get something first!
What big eyes you have, Elmo! And a huge mouth, too!
Hmmm... What can I do with your eyes?
Yikes!! Sam can't resist biting Elmo's eyes and nose!
I'm a good girl.... I'm hugging Elmo.
I like it here! I have Elmo and Cookie Monster and the Lil Girl to play with!
Hello sis… I already added your link to my list. Your baby Sam is so adorable. I have a 8.5 month old baby boy too..
Hi Mummy Sam… thanks for adding this site too.. I already added you.
BTW, are you located in Japan or in Phils?
are close. Are you a SAHM too?
ohhhhhhh your little Sam is such a sweetheart! so cute! | 2019-04-23T21:56:54 | http://www.kikamzpera.com/2008/10/look-whos-having-fun.html |
On 20 February, three different events will ask for Britain’s attention and action. It is the UN World Day of Social Justice, and Parliament will be debating Trump’s visit.
But also, importantly, Monday 20 February will see the UK-wide ‘One Day Without Us’, a National Day of Action to celebrate the contribution of migrants to the UK.
It is an invitation open to migrants from inside and outside the European Union, and everyone who supports them, to celebrate the contribution that migrants make, for 24 hours.
Marienna Pope-Weidemann talks to author and core organizer Matt Carr, to find out more.
Tell us about One Day Without Us. What's the core idea?
It all goes back to a Facebook call out and discussion in October 2016, after the Tory party conference. That was the worst single display of constant xenophobic and racist messages that I’ve ever seen at any political party conference in my lifetime. It was worse than Enoch Powell back in the 1970s, in that it it was being so widely legitimised.
Minister after minister was coming forth with this stream of astonishingly xenophobic and ultimately self-destructive policies to keep foreign doctors out, foreign students out, and so on. We’d also seen this incredible rise in street racism, with a new sense of entitlement after the referendum when we started seeing again supposedly older, supposedly transcended forms of racism.
And then having that being normalised at the Tory party conference, and Labour taking quite a soft approach to it, politicians across the board were really normalising hate crime and people wanted to do something about it.
My proposing the idea was influenced by what I’d seen with One Day Without Us in Italy, a similar mobilisation in the States in 2006 and on a smaller scale here in 2010. There was a huge response, much more than my posts normally get! It became clear very quickly people wanted to build something big. Although the core group remains just a few new volunteers, we’ve had a lot of support from other organisations, Migrants Organise, Migrant Rights Network, War on Want: seasoned campaigners.
Early on, the idea of a strike/boycott put a lot of people off. The paradox there for us is that if we hadn’t been talking in those terms early on it wouldn’t have attracted so much interest. At the same time it ultimately became an obstacle to a really broad mobilisation though and so we responded to that. The worst allegation was that it was irresponsible to call on migrant workers to strike.
Can you say something about why that was, the unique difficulties facing migrant workers standing up for their rights?
They often have no guaranteed rights to do so, no union protection and are on precarious zero hours contracts, so it can be very difficult for them to strike even with an immediate industrial objective, let alone participate in a political strike like this.
Another thing was that a strike focus would make it impossible to get the unions on board because some of the big unions, as soon as they hear the word ‘strike’, they’d back off. Many are keen to say they stand against racism but when you start talking about migrant workers’ rights you sense a certain tone of blue labourism; they don’t want to touch that issue. That’s why we were so pleased to receive UNISON’s support.
Now, there are a range of ways to participate and mark the day: from very safe, secure actions everyone would feel comfortable doing to more radical actions. Of course some people say you’re too fluffy and other people say you’re too radical but it’s not ours to manage; the point is, migrants themselves are leading this across the country, in all the different ways they want.
What we’ve tried to do is create a platform that brings new confidence to people who’ve been really battered for many years now. And the question of solidarity for us was crucial: that British citizens are standing with them, engaging in their actions. And that principle is really taking off.
You mentioned the new precarity of EU nationals – what’s their place in One Day Without Us?
Everyone’s vision of the future now has been altered, not just by the street racism but by the referendum, the way politicians are quite clearly using EU nationals and migrants generally as bargaining chips and scapegoats.
We had an issue early on with a lot of EU nationals objecting to being seen as migrants at all. For us it’s not a negative word, we’re trying to reclaim it, renew the dignity in it. We’re talking about migrants in the broadest sense.
We’re not interested in good migrants or bad migrants or a hierarchy of migrants. We want a space where all migrants can find some way to express what matters to them on that day.
How have you organised to create that space?
We always try and put important proposals out to the widest possible group of participants. That’s worked very organically and been one of the most exciting things about it. It’s not coming from the usual channels, using the same old language, it doesn’t feel like a sort of Old Left initiative because it isn’t; that openness and political diversity does pose challenges in terms of organisation, but has turned this into something new.
Can you give us some idea of the range of activities being planned elsewhere and why?
There are actions in at least 70 places that we know of so far. We put out a list of suggested actions for the people who had never done anything political before, but most of what’s going on now was developed by them.
At the more radical end we have Movement for Justice planning to march and shut down parts of central London. At the softer end, there’s social media activity, a unifying 1pm photo activity – people linking arms together for a photo and posting it on social media – rallies and marches, poetry slams, orchestras, a possible salsa flash mob, some really spectacular things. You can find them all on the event’s website.
There’s some groups doing human libraries, is an old conflict resolution technique where you consult a person, an ‘expert by experience’ as you’d consult a book in the library, a dialogue building exercise. There’s the graffiti wall in Norwich that they’re going to cover in solidarity graffiti before carrying it through the streets of Norwich; in Birmingham they’re hiring a bus to drive round every place where they can find migrant workers, hospitals, factories, with music and a moving celebration. We are just hearing about these things, and there are more springing up every day.
You’ve got one group, marginalised, very undervalued and made quite invisible by wider society, joined by activist groups with lots of campaign experience and because of that, higher collective confidence.
What have been some of the major challenges to organising something like this between migrants and allies? How do you manage the power dynamics between them, making sure migrants are more than tokens, but are genuinely leading the actions?
Migrant-led organisations being invited in to assume a central role was key. We were just a few volunteers, and when people ask ‘well, who are you?’ and your answer is ‘no one in particular,’ that can be an issue.
We overcame it, built links and grew strong – I think it’s a sign of the times. It’s widely and deeply felt by people that we are living in what the Chinese used to call ‘interesting times’.
Throughout 2016 people felt repeatedly kicked and now they are recognizing a dangerous political drift, that’s really propelled us up and onwards.
You mentioned on the other hand a growing sense of ‘entitlement’ to bigotry since the Brexit vote, mirrored by politicians and much of the press and legitimising hate crime in the streets. What do you think is going on there at the deepest level?
For three decades now we’ve seen a relentless denigration of migrants of all kinds in this country’s media. It’s focused on different groups over that time but with very similar language, with perhaps three quarters of the press engaging in this almost daily.
And politicians respond with the need to take people’s concerns seriously without every really being honest about what those concerns are. I mean, they all want to listen to concerns about immigration but they won’t listen to concerns about anything else!
What is important is that this gives migrants and most other working people one big thing in common: we’re all expected to live such precarious lives. Nobody can guarantee security in anything anymore, and we’ve totally lost any concept of ‘the common good’. And most people have lost sight of any vision of a better community, be it local, national or transnational.
That needs to be rediscovered and put into practice in some way otherwise we’re in serious trouble.
Racial power is once again becoming of enormous social importance. Is there a relationship between that and the precarity of the globalized system following the financial crash.
The cost of living crisis is ongoing and all signs indicate that actually all communities, Leave and Remain voters, white and black citizens and migrants, all share a sense that we are losing democratic control along with rights to housing, services and so on.
Do you think that’s also partly why so many people are falling back on older, gendered or racial forms of power and privilege, in the search for some security? And would you agree then that we can’t win the fight for migrant rights, free movement and anti-racism without winning the argument around austerity, exposing it for what it is: a timeless strategy to dispossess, divide and rule?
I do absolutely agree with that. I would add that we’re seeing older forms of racism morphing into something else.
I once wrote a book about the expulsion of Muslims from 17th century Spain. That episode is often cited as an example of what happens when a country allows its own prejudices to take control even against its own interests.
Aside from the moral horror of expelling 350,000 men, women and children, Spain also fatally damaged itself for many years after. I never thought I’d see anything like that happen in the UK.
Such acts are usually reserved for times of extreme social crisis, like the way World War I created the climate for the rise of Nazism. Now we’ve just had an economic crisis and even that has produced an extreme and dangerous sort of hyper-nationalism.
We can’t put it all down to austerity but it has certainly exacerbated all the fault lines in society and made it much easier to scapegoat ‘the other’.
On the other hand are you wary of relying just on economic arguments about the net contribution migration makes to the economy, public services and so on? Does it risk disconnecting us from the moral obligation to protect some of the most vulnerable fleeing war and persecution, who might not be ‘paying in’ from the week they arrive?
But that being said I do think we have to counter the myths about stealing jobs and houses and services, because they are myths and they do fuel hatred.
If the country isn’t even willing to accept free movement in Europe, people considered ‘like us’, it’s a very difficult case to make so we need to use every argument while always maintaining migrants should never have to justify their presence in the UK.
Your example of the Spanish expulsions made me wonder again, was the political establishment as divided over the question of Brexit as they appeared? Is it a case of: the genie’s out of the bottle and racist scapegoating, once their tool for maintaining control, has developed a life of its own?
Yes, you put it very well. Brexit was a real mess up in the sense that politicians of all parties whipped up fears about immigration and pandered to them, instead of clarifying public ‘concerns’.
A game played by the Tory party, that was essentially about internal party matters, has been allowed to throw away the country’s future. It’s like we’re dealing with a bunch of Etonian gamblers hanging out in some casino, and it was done that lightly, that arrogantly and with that level of disregard for that basic notion of the common good. Even on their own narrow terms of ‘the nation’s economic interest’, they’ve done something disastrous driven by the prejudices they themselves helped inflame.
Polls continually indicate the public think over 30 per cent of the population are migrants when the actual figure is around 13 per cent, and if they keep thinking that, you’re moving into this Trumpist world of alternative facts where what people feel matters more than the evidence.
If they reduce migration to the levels they’ve promised, Public Policy Research reported recently, as early as 2030 there won’t be enough young workers paying taxes to pay for our pensions! It’s startling how these points are completely left out of the general discussion.
What about the Labour Party? There’s been a shift recently towards ‘taking people’s concerns seriously’, blurring their position on free movement, and now leading figures in trade unions are following suit, the Unite leader for example saying free movement equals exploitation. Your thoughts?
I find it quite depressing. It’s very frustrating and their position is unclear – perhaps contested within the party. It’s what you expect from a Blairite government, we remember Gordon Brown talking about ‘British jobs for British workers’ and historically, some of the harshest immigration controls have been introduced by Labour. So we don’t necessarily expect them to have an internationalist position on free movement.
But it’s disappointing to hear it from people close to Corbyn because he’s made many principled statements about migration, free movement and workers rights in the past.
But yes, the unions now seem to be implying that restricting free movement will restrict exploitation of migrant workers – when in fact you could perfectly easily have free movement and crack down on exploitation. And I think really it’s just certain people looking to legitimise them pandering to what they see as ‘the white working class’ - as though the working class were only white or at least, it only matters when it is.
How do you situate One Day Without Us – and the migrant rights movement more broadly – within the upsurge of protest against Trump? And how do we keep the focus on holding our own government to account for injustices here at home?
One thing I find encouraging about One Day Without Us in terms of Trumpism is that we’re trying a lot of things similar to Cosecha in the United States, for example, and in many countries. I hope there’ll be a strong international convergence of all these new, open, diverse movements because that’s what we need.
With 20 February also being about the parliamentary debate on Trump’s visit and protests against that, there’s a danger of mixed messages.
It’s very important for us to have the rights of migrants in the UK centre stage and not have that lost in a conversation about Donald Trump. Having said that they’ve been in discussions with us about how we can support and amplify each other so it could turn out very well.
What comes next, after 20 February?
Recently a seasoned migrant rights campaigner in Birmingham pointed out to me that this is the first ever national day of action in solidarity with migrants in the UK. And that’s great.
‘What next?’ is the big question and it’s a conversation that’s really coming to us from the grassroots; people are on the move, here, and looking forward, wanting to support what other organisations are already doing and build a movement.
For us, it depends what happens on 20 February. If it turns out as we’d hoped, we’ll be carrying it forward somehow.
And lastly, let’s turn to Europe. You published the book Fortress Europe back in 2012. Can you say a little about what’s changed, particularly since Trump and Brexit? We saw last week Hungary now wants to incarcerate all asylum seekers… What lessons can we draw from what we’re seeing there?
When I was researching that book back in 2009-2011 that EU-wide system of repression was already in place – what we have now is a massive increase in the numbers. When I was travelling, even the detention centres were pretty empty. It was like a ghostly machinery of repression was sitting there waiting for whoever would come. So yes, disheartening that this repressive, often racist response has spread throughout the continent, driven not only by European powers you might expect but by new member states like Hungary. So Fortress Europe is getting nastier, the cost is getting greater, death rates rising on the journeys.
You know, Syria is really the perfect refugee crisis. With the whole country consumed by a brutal war, and no room for doubt that anyone coming from Syria is a ‘genuine refugee’. But even when presented with that ‘perfect’ refugee, in this country we still won’t admit more than a few hundred people. And that exposes the ‘bogus asylum seeker’ rhetoric for what it was: a cynical pretext.
We’ve seen some positive things thanks to social movements campaigning in different places. Angela Merkel’s admittedly limited offer was courageous and would not have happened without pressure from the German people. Looking forwards, we have to find a way to a world that is accepting of migration, not just as an inevitable fact of life and of history but as something that we don’t need to fear. We have to. The alternative doesn’t bear thinking about.
The greatest thing about One Day Without Us and the Stop Trump campaign is that both are bringing in a whole layer of first-time activists. Your own background is in writing and you’ve also made that transition. What do you think is giving hope, confidence in our ability to create change, even at this dark time?
Well that is what gives me hope: that it’s revealed the sort of seed bed of a different kind of country that’s been ignored for a long time. I’ve been really impressed by the courage I’ve seen in people. One woman I work with was standing outside a supermarket on International Migrants Day in December, by herself, giving out sweets to shoppers and encouraging them to get involved. She was all on her own doing that for the first time in her life, and I think that’s quite something, actually.
There are so many people willing not only to challenge the treatment of migrants, but to make the links to threats against wider society, drawing parallels to the lead up to World War II which is not melodrama – it’s a very real possibility. And a great many people know that.
We just need to reach them because we could be another, very different, fairer, freer kind of society – that’s a real possibility, too.
Marienna Pope-Weidemann is communications coordinator at Right to Remain, working with grassroots groups to support 1 Day Without Us. She also works at These Walls Must Fall.
You can find events related to One Day Without Us near you, or examples of actions you might want to take, on the event’s website, or connect through the Facebook event.
It’s a critical time to build media that brings people together – not drives them apart. That means journalism that creates an inclusive global community, and emphasizes that the struggles of people – be they migrants or not, anywhere in the world – are often in opposition to the same elite-driven globalization and share the same aspiration to a global, common good.
On 1 March, we will be launching an ambitious Community Share Offer, opening up ownership of New Internationalist to ordinary people all over the world.

Worldwide - The automotive industry is extremely turbulent and DS Automobiles is moving fast forward. Extending the dealership network is the key element to grow constantly and it is an essential part of sharing the automotive market globally. The action of network development demands a great deal of practises and a specific approach distinct from other management practises. This approach is called Programme Management and it is possible to be provided merely by a global company with a sufficient geographic cover.
ARCADIS is a time-tested choice of Programme Management provider not only because of its global coverage yet also due to a great amount of experience gained. In particular, Arcadis Czech Republic has brought up an experienced Automotive Team which provides a certain range of programme services to succesfully manage the brand standards delivery and ultimately expands the dealer’s business.
One of these professionals is Matouš Urbánek. Matouš is our project manager and he has been succesfully working on the demanding DS Automobiles Brand Standards implementation in 14 countries yet. One of these has been a very specific car market, Norway.
It always feels great when you cooperate with such enthusiastic partners.
Bertel O. Steen, a private Norwegian DS importer, and carefully chosen DS dealers have been awesome partners enabling a smooth delivery of the roll-out’s 1st phase among strategic Norwegian locations.
The DS Automobiles brand image is well known there due to the iconic car models such as the Citroen DS 21. Many dealers have their piece of it proudly placed at their showrooms. It is hard not to notice how enthusiastically they talk about the brand. Their fathers usually owned a Citroen DS, there is a noticable rapport with the brand. The dealers appreciate a very sophisticated DS showroom environment with a hint of French boutiques and avant-garde elegance which highlights the premium DS cars as showroom gems. The customers describe DS showrooms as a "completely different universe" in comparing with the premium competitors, which perfectly supports the sale volumes.
Nevertheless, it is not easy to achieve the demanding brand standards. For instance, we are to use special paints, which are not easily available in the country yet we found a solution. Handling premium materials and finishes is an obvious brand standard. These are manufactured in France and a precise delivery planning is a must. I have to admit that is so satisfying to see DS sites completed and their owners pleased about the result. | 2019-04-25T06:05:23 | https://www.arcadis.com/en/czech/what-we-do/our-projects/europe/czech-republic/ds-automobiles-global-roll-out/ |
We live in an unanticipated era.
who in those years would have imagined the looming nightmare that takes shape in the anxious skies of January 2007?
– where, starting in 2000, a global wave of anti-Zionism overnight spread to attacks on Jews and Jewish sites around the world.
And who, told of such an astounding developments, would have thought that the responsible leaders of the West – Gentile and Jewish – would respond to this madness with a reflex of placation, apology, concession… in short, appeasement?
As I said, we live in an unanticipated era.
First of all, as a historian of civil society, of the millennium-long struggle in the West to achieve this extraordinary marvel of the modern world, this experiment in human freedom, I want to say: European democratic civilization can fall before the Islamic challenge. Something similar happened before, in the 5th century, when a culturally superior Roman civilization fell to a primitive tribal Germanic culture. And if Europe continues on its current path, that will happen sooner rather than later.
Second, this is going to get worse before it gets better. Starting in October 2000, the most terrible form of apocalyptic movement, active cataclysmic – we are the agents in the vast destruction that precedes our millennial victory – entered the public sphere of world culture and rather than being beaten back, took hold and grew stronger. Once these movements, which in the past have killed 10s of millions, “take,” they are like forest fires. They cannot be stopped, at best they can be channeled. We are in for a long and unpleasant conflict that will demand a great deal from us.
Third, modern media play a critical role in Global Jihad’s success. Not just the use Jihadis make of modern technology to spread their message, but the role our modern MSM play in both disguising and encouraging the phenomenon. And the core of the problem, the ground upon which this dysfunctional relationship between Jihad and MSM first emerged, but also the most dramatic on which it plays out, is the MSM’s treatment of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
But all of this is not nearly good enough. The MSM are the eyes and ears of modern civil societies. Without them we cannot know what is going on outside of our personal sphere, with them we can make our democratic choices in elections, assess foreign policy, intervene humanely in the suffering around the globe. But as any paleontologist will tell you, any creature whose eyes and ears misinform it about the environment, will not long survive. So it is with our civic experiment: especially in this period, where predators grow increasingly bold: a MSM that misinforms us, betrays the very people it is supposed to serve.
Let me cut to the chase. If this wondrous experiment in human freedom that was launched on both sides of the Atlantic in the late 18th century survives to the middle of the 21st century, historians will look back on the performance of the MSM in the first decade of that century, in particular its coverage of the Arab-Israeli conflict, and give the journalists’ “first draft of history” an F.
– An F for failing to correct their errors – leaving Israel between libel and silence.
– And F for allowing our media to be exploited by totalitarian forces as a theater of war rather than protecting that civic public trust from such vicious propaganda.
So when historians look back, I think they will identify the MSM’s appalling performance as one of the main sources the West’s vulnerability to Global Jihad at the beginning of this century. How else can we explain the astounding success of what, only a decade ago, seemed like a racist bad joke: Islam wants to take over Europe? You must be kidding.
The free Western press encouraging the victory of totalitarianism? You must be kidding.
Unfortunately, whether they mean it or not, the MSM today has fallen into so many bad habits, so many pervasive compromises, that like the Augean Stables of old, they have encrusted layers of manure that resist any effort to clean. And unlike the old Augean Stables, which stank up the only the Peloponnesus, thanks to new technology, the MSMs failures stink the world over.
Which brings me to the basic problem Israel and the Jews face in this young and so-far deeply disturbing 21st century. They have been the major target of the Jihadi assault, and the main victims of the MSM’s failures. And so far, the response has been to take the same stance of concession and placation, to the Western media that the Western media take towards the Muslims: don’t criticize, don’t challenge, placate, mollify. Whatever you do, don’t attack.
Nor is this merely a problem of Israeli official hasbarah. The Jewish leaders in the diaspora, playing by the positive-sum rules of the late 20th century, responded painfully slowly to the sudden zero-sum turn of direction at the end of 2000. Indeed, like the Israeli government, they discouraged those – leaders or rank and file – who started to fight back.
– an independent access to that audience.
First, as the Chinese ideogram for crisis indicates: danger also means opportunity. The worse things get, the more people wake up, the more they are willing to reconsider their paradigms and policies, the more they are willing to make sacrifices necessary to survive. And this is true across the boards: When did Pharaoh listen? When it hurt. When did his heart harden? When things got better. So not only are Europeans beginning to awaken to the nightmare they have inherited from their irresponsible leadership, but also to the role of their MSM in blinding them to its onset. Similarly, Jews and Israelis are beginning to realize that we must fight back. Even the MSM may begin to realize that, whatever excuses they come up with for their performance, they cannot, we cannot afford it any longer. And, as Bernard Lewis commented yesterday, maybe even the Muslims, realizing the power of the Jinn they have released from the bottle, and the unhappy fact that they will be the first consumed by its murderous zeal, will also reconsider who the enemy is.
Secondly, there are people waiting to hear from you, waiting for Israel to confront the suffocating dysfunction of paranoid Muslim defamation and MSM complicity, people waiting to hear Israel fight for its honor and dignity. Indeed they’ll be better equipped to defend themselves with Israel’s example.
Third, the blogosphere, and more broadly, cyberspace offer a means to reach the public without pleading for better MSM coverage. In the blogosphere there are legions of sharp analysts who do not answer to the siren call of political correctness and the pack mentality that has so many journalists cramming every incident into the storyline of the Israeli Goliath and the Palestinian or Lebanese David. Internet sites permit vast amounts of information, including systematic critiques of the media’s performance to reach increasing numbers. Every paper, radio program and TV news station should have a blog that monitors it, critiques it, contradicts it where appropriate. In the end, a responsible MSM will thank the blogosphere for the criticism.
The 21st century has begun as an age of information affluence. We have access to seemingly limitless amounts of information. The real premium in the coming years and decades, will be on reliably accurate and relevant information. And although it’s the traditional job of the MSM to determine that, it will be in cyberspace that the issue will sort itself. Just as early modern science emerged in the city of letters created by print, not in the parchment culture of the medieval universities.
And so, let me conclude with some advice from a deeply troubled historian.
My advice to the Israeli and Jewish people: Know who you are. Do not become blinded by a compulsive self-criticism, in which it is always, it must always, be your own fault. Do not allow the narcissism of small differences between left and right wing, between secular and religious Jew, blind you to the exceptional range of shared values that have made Israel the sociological and historical miracle that it is. Take the occasion of the collapse of the Oslo paradigm – land for peace – and the revelation that the conflict is today land for war, a clash of theocracy with freedom around the world, to reexamine all the misconceptions that have plagued your political thinking for decades now. Cast off both your false sense of agency – we control this process – and mistaken finger-pointing at your Israeli foe – if only they would stop doing what they’re doing, things would be okay. Cast off the ridiculous language of political correctness that cannot distinguish between race and culture, between genes and education. Wake up to the open vistas and immense challenges of a new paradigm, a massive reinterpretation of what’s going on in our world, both inside and outside Israel. Rediscover your sense of moral outrage, your ability to fight back against a morally insane world.
My advice to the Israeli government: Open a mouth. Go on the offensive. Stop beating your breasts in agony over civilian lives that your enemies happily sacrifice into the maw of their death cults in front of an eager media that can turn the grotesque parade of dead children at Kafr Qana into a tale of Hizbullah resistance to Israeli aggression. Get yourselves a review committee to look over all the footage of the “lethal narratives” that come out against you, from Muhammad al Durah, the first blood libel of the 21st century and clarion call to global Jihad, to, most recently Gaza Beach and Qana. Challenge the fakes, the pervasive staging. And demand that the media do their own reviews before rushing, breathless, before their public with the latest tales of Israeli sins. Remind them of how often and how destructively they have been wrong. Hold journalists who work here to their own professional standards. Feed information to the blogosphere, not the MSM. Coordinate with the army of grass roots hasbarah organizations that have arisen, especially since 2000, to meet this tidal-wave of hatred and incitement. Identify and address, in every language you can muster, audiences of people who, instinctively, know that something is terribly awry, and want to hear your side. And spend a great deal more money on the effort: There is no theater of war on which you do not expend billions of dollars. And here you spend 10 million!? Hizbullah alone outspends you threefold in Hasbarah.
My advice to Jews in the diaspora: Stop being embarrassed by the media-driven image that you get of Israel. Stop trying so hard to please your liberal friends with your compassion for Palestinian suffering. Stop apologizing and start blaming the key contributors to that Palestinian suffering – the Arab elites who pointedly make the Palestinians suffer in order to blame Israel, and a media who present that suffering to us, just as that elite wants them to. Your fellow Jews in Israel have done wonders in the world of civil, open society; they represent the farthest outpost of civilization in a region still gripped by a typically medieval combination of theocracy, exploitation, and tyranny. In this global war, Israel is an invaluable, an irreplaceable ally to the forces of democracy and freedom.
My advice to Jewish leaders (this includes Israelis as well), especially the men: Stop the ego-battles, the cash-cow manipulations, the competitive, zero-sum career strategies, the monopoly on the podium, the hostility to new voices. Learn not the ways of sibling rivalry like Joseph’s brothers, but those of fraternal cooperation, like Moses and Aaron. We cannot afford to play by the old rules.
My advice to Europeans: Get over the politics of resentment in which you so want to see George Bush forced to leave Iraq that you don’t even think about the impact that will have on arousing your own Muslim populations against you, including those who will come from triumphant Iraq to your continent. Rediscover the Atlantic Alliance, your origin and geographical base, and work in concert against the Muslim world’s global pretensions, especially Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Get over your addiction to moral Schadenfreude about the Jews, in which being able to point the finger at Israel, blinds you both to the nature of an enemy who despises us all, and to the value of your natural ally, Israel. Start addressing the problem of Islamic theocracy now, and at all registers of the political spectrum, so that it is not a problem delayed until it’s too late, and left in the hands of the right-wing parties. Awaken! And soon! And sanely.
My advice to journalists, especially to the young ones. Be true to your profession – a noble one – not to your guild; to your standards and your readers – not your editors and your peer group. You move today in a drama akin to The Emperor’s New Clothes, where your guild plays the role of courtiers, insisting that the politically correct, post-colonial garment fits the situation magnificently. Your job is to provide information, as accurate and as relevant as possible. We, the citizens of a free society, will make our individual and collective decisions based on your reliable information. Do not prepackage and predigest our view of the world.
Break out of the pack. Pay attention to the compromises that violent intimidation demand, and be as honest as you can with your readers. And above all, blow the whistle. Break the shameful silence of omerta that has made of your “fourth estate” a rogue power that neither self-regulates nor accepts regulation.
The fundamental freedom, the one we can exercise at any moment in our lives, is the freedom to speak honestly, to challenge, no matter what the danger, the embarrassment, the ostracism, the economic hardship, the physical aggression. So this I say to all those who believe in the effort to establish a just and free society: Speak up!
Moses had God and Aaron on his side to convince Pharaoh despite his “uncircumcised lips.” But now, especially in the age of democracies, lo bashamayim he: matters are no longer in the hands of heaven, but bephicha uvilvovcha, in your mouths and in your hearts. So all we have is each other – our fellow Jews, our fellow humans around the world. And when that moment of truth arrives, as it has now, we can pass the test of freedom and speak with the voice of honest indignation. | 2019-04-25T12:05:46 | https://spme.org/spme-research/analysis/richard-landes-the-media-and-the-dysfunctions-of-the-21st-century-address-at-the-7th-annual-herzliya-conference-january-23-2007/2525/ |

These days, boys are starved for positive role models. It seems like every time you turn on the news, there is another story about so-called leaders doing something morally corrupt. As a parent, it is your job to instill positive values in your boys. But, with your other jobs of putting food on the table and paying the bills, this task is easier said than done. Fortunately, you do not have to raise upstanding young men alone. Martial arts classes for boys in Ogden, UT are here to help! Here are seven reasons why you should enroll your child in martial arts classes.
There is a big push for boys to join team sports in schools across the country. There are even public service ads on the radio about it. While there are benefits to team sports, they do tend to favor the more physically developed players at the expense of late bloomers. With martial arts, everyone participates, and individual achievement is celebrated by moving up belts and ranking.
Childhood obesity is a global pandemic, and rising trends in obesity are apparent in both developing and developed countries. Martial arts classes are usually comprised of warming up, learning and practicing moves, possibly sparring, and some active games. Throughout most of the session, your boy is constantly on the go doing punches, takedowns, stretching, kicks, grappling, crunches, etc.
Nowhere is the motto “practice makes perfect” more apparent than in martial arts training. In a single class, a student may execute one movement hundreds of times. This teaches boys that progress always happens in small improvements in flexibility, technique, power, and stamina through endless repetition. There are also protocols and rules that must be followed to maintain safety.
Though our Youth Martial Arts program is mainly geared for children under the age of fifteen, we offer other classes that are fifteen and older. If your child is younger than fifteen, you can enroll in an adult class then discuss what you are learning with your son. You can even go home and practice with each other. Martial arts provide an excellent bonding tool.
The main reason most people study martial arts is self-defense. In addition to teaching boys the techniques of self-defense, martial arts also teach them how to anticipate and avoid potential dangers.
Young men get a full-body workout when they participate in martial arts. In order to improve their game skills, many NFL players and other world-class professional athletes practice martial arts.
Children get a big boost in their confidence as they become more proficient in Merpati Putih. Encouragement from their teacher will help them achieve self-confidence that will serve them far beyond the martial arts studio.
MP USA makes leadership training and martial arts classes for boys in Ogden, UT affordable. In our Youth Martial Arts program, your young man between the ages of six and fourteen will start with three trial lessons, where we can ensure martial arts is something he really wants to do, and we can evaluate his needs to customize a program for him. At the end of these sessions, your child will earn his “white belt” and can then enroll in our regular program, which will instill in him all of the qualities covered above.

Gairdin an Ghorta is a National Garden of Remembrance not just those remembering who died in this area or in this country, but all those Irish people who tenaciously held on to their small meagre holdings and passed them down to generation after generation, honouring also those who died of fever, hunger and starvation in their own homes and work houses – very often buried where they fell, or in mass burials in unmarked graves, those who emigrated and the many who died in the “Coffin” ships, buried at sea, those who made it to other countries and in particular to the United States – many rejected by the natives for fear of contagious fever, disease and of course those who successfully made it to other countries, the U.S. in particular, and did us proud. The path through the garden is a metaphor for Irish history. The journey along the path is synonymous with the journey of the Irish people from pre-famine era to the future.

Step into the cinema at any point during Bairavaa and you could be forgiven for mistaking it for almost any of Vijay’s previous films. The only thing that seems to vary in these masala outings is his attire, while everything else (love interest, villain, ‘comedy’ friend, evil henchmen etc) is identical. In his latest mass film Bairavaa, even the trusty masala formula fails to deliver as expected mainly due to poorly realised villains and dull, repetitive fight scenes. Not even the songs are inspiring and it’s only Vijay’s presence and on-screen charisma that makes it possible to sit through the full 169 minute run-time. There are some laughs, one or two fight scenes that work a little better than the rest and a couple of good songs but overall Bharathan’s latest release fails to impress.
Bairavaa (Vijay) is a recovery agent for a bank who don’t seem to mind that he uses rather direct methods to reclaim outstanding funds. This leads inevitably to the first fight scene as the bank manager sends Bairavaa out to collect money from a thug who likes to play cricket. The fight itself is quite cleverly choreographed with Vijay imitating cricket stars and using a cricket ball instead of his fists to flatten thugs, but despite the novelty it isn’t particularly exciting and there is absolutely no sense of suspense. It’s a given from the start that Bairavaa will be walking out of there with the money and that all of the rowdies will be writhing around on the floor. And that’s the problem with almost every other fight scene in the movie too. Even when the numbers of rent-a-thugs get upped and then upped again, there is no stopping the one-man army that is Bairavaa. The fights become an unending parade of rowdies being thrown up, down and around in slow-mo while Bairavaa barely breaks into a sweat. The exceptions mainly come in the second half when there is a little more at stake, but overall, even with a few stylish moves thrown in here and there, the fights are mostly monotonously predictable and uninspiring.
After meeting Malarvizhi (Keerthy Suresh) at a wedding and falling instantly in love, Bairavaa discovers she has a problem back home in Tirunelveli after she is attacked by a gang of thugs at Koyambedu bus station. This leads to a flashback that explains her predicament and why she is being targeted by businessman and self-styled champion of education PK (Jagapati Babu). PK is aided in his various criminal activities by Kottai Veeran (Daniel Balaji) and his merry gang of rowdies, while Malarvizhi is supported by her sister (Sija Rose), grandfather (Vittal Rao) and Uncle Narayanan (Thambi Ramaiah). Malarvizhi has taken PK to court to prove that he was responsible for the death of her friend Vaishali (Aparna Vinod) in his substandard medical college and that the college’s explanation for her death is completely untrue. PK has been warned by the judge that the upcoming final hearing should not interrupt Malarvizhi’s studies or endanger her health with the result that instead of killing Malarvizhi, PK tries every possible method of intimidation to make her break down and give up her fight. Naturally Bairavaa takes up Malarvizhi’s cause and immediately starts to oppose PK and his allies.
Sadly PK is a one-dimensional villain who does little other than sneer at the camera and order his seemingly self-replicating gangs of thugs to put an end to Bairavaa. His henchman Kottai Veeran has a little more to work with, but both men are purely obstacles to be overcome in Bairavaa’s pursuit of the girl. There is presumably some sort of message in the revelation that some private colleges are purely money making exercises and Malarvizhi does her best to promote the cause of independent women everywhere, but at the end of the day she is reliant on Bairavaa to defeat the thigs. Her methods of contacting solicitors, providing evidence and the like are casually destroyed by PK and Kottai Verran using methods that seem unlikely to work in real life. Malarvizhi is a fairly typical Tamil heroine in that she has some backbone and a promising career but still falls for the hero in less time that it takes her to find the bus home to Tirunelveli. I’ve yet to see Keerthy Suresh in a role that I think she can do justice too, and this doesn’t seem close. She looks uncomfortable in the songs and while there is some reasonable chemistry between her and Vijay it’s much like the rest of the film – pedestrian and predictable.
There are a number of other threads that seem to have been added to and appeal more to the modern market. Harish Uthaman appears as Malarvizhi’s abusive brother-in-law Prabha who has the world’s fastest rehabilitation after he gets beaten up by Bairavaa. Generally the police and judicial system are honest and the comedy is kept to a minimum with Bairavaa’s friend Shanmugam (Sathish) having only limited time onscreen. Thambi Ramaiah as Malarvizhi’s uncle Narayanan has even less time on screen, which in this instance is definitely for the best.
The songs too are disappointing and often oddly placed although Vijay’s dancing is still the highlight, but even here the energy seems subdued. At least until Papa Papa which is definitely the pick of the bunch. I can usually find something to enjoy in a Vijay film, despite the often wafer-thin plots, but I was hard pressed to find much in Bairavaa. It’s a strictly by the numbers mass film with little animation and even less ingenuity. At 169 minutes Bairavaa does feel like an endurance test and much could have been shortened (all those slow-mo fight moves and echoing repeats!) to improve the film flow. One strictly for the fans, and even then be prepared for a less than thrilling experience.

We obtained planning consent in 2010 for the creation of a car park for 193 cars and 4 coaches within the grounds of the Grade 1 listed Skipton Castle. Obtaining this approval required enormous attention to detail which was recognised by the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) in their analysis of the scheme. The car park is now in use. | 2019-04-22T17:11:23 | http://www.peterharrisonarchitects.com/project/skipton-castle-car-park/ |
So we got our engagement photos done on Saturday, and my photographer Jennie Guenard was so quick, that she was able to send 2 photos to me less then 2 hours later. I was shocked how quick she was. I am so impressed with her, and now I can't wait for the rest of the photos.
The day was so beautiful and it was so warm outside. We were actually suppose to do them next week, but when I looked at the forecast, the weather looked a little unstable. So I called Jennie to see if maybe she could do them the next day. Well she thankfully was able to move the date and do it the very next day, and I am so happy everything worked out. | 2019-04-26T06:44:57 | http://www.theirvinefamilyblog.com/2011/09/ |

The acoustic duo, Wind Weaver, and their album “Wild Threads” is an album that uses the musical talents of the Native American flute, acoustic guitar, and percussion to paint serene pictures in the mind with relaxing and contemplative sounds. In “Fluid Ooze” the melodic flute gently frolics around the steady, yet subdued sounds of a drum creating an atmosphere of serene tranquility. In “Aerial Wandering” a rhythmic and catchy acoustic guitar riff starts the song before an emotive flute comes in to tell a story that will enlighten your senses. “Summer Clouds” is a song in which a sympathetic flute and guitar combine to produce a well balanced song that will take you away to a warm summer day. The music within this album is sweet and tranquil as the Native American flute and acoustic guitar merge to create a feeling of placid relaxation. Whether you appreciate the sounds of these instruments or enjoy calming background music, “Wild Threads” is an album you will thoroughly enjoy.

Since its inception the School has had a strong interest in the territory that comprised the former Yugoslavia and the Serbian and Croatian languages have been taught here since 1919. The Library's collection on former Yugoslavia was developed with the help of gifts from the Yugoslav government between the wars, a policy continued by the government of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Disruption to regular book supply caused by war and sanctions during the 1990s is now a thing of the past. Exchanges with libraries there, and, above all, a regular purchasing policy, have resulted in a wide-ranging collection covering the history and politics, economics and social sciences of the region, as well as their culture, languages and literatures.
Books on Yugoslavia and the successor states are shelved on the Lower Ground Floor of the Library. The classification scheme used to arrange the books on the shelves has been devised to reflect the complex relationship between states in the region. There is a general section for works on the state of Yugoslavia or for works whose geographical scope covers more than one of the succeeding republics (Bosnia and Hercegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia). The general section is followed by individual classes for each of these republics and also for Kosovo and Vojvodina. Bibliographical records for most of the collection are to be found in the on-line catalogue.
The majority of the works purchased are in English or in the languages of the area, with occasional acquisitions in other European languages. The Library subscribes to daily newspapers (e.g. Politika, Borba, Oslobođenje, Delo, Vjesnik, Feral Tribune) as well as to scholarly serial publications originating from or pertaining to the area.
Thanks to the bequest of Sir Arthur Evans, the Library has a distinguished group of books published before 1800 relating to Dalmatia and Bosnia as well as later works on those areas. Among historical sources are Monumenta spectantia historiam Slavorum meridionalium, Zagreb, 1868- and Diplomatički zbornik Kraljevine Hrvatske, Dalmacije i Slavonije, 15 vols., Zagreb, 1874-1934. | 2019-04-23T00:46:13 | http://libguides.ucl.ac.uk/yugoslavia |
Asm. Mike Gatto has a variety of bills this session on technology. Photo courtesy of Mike Gatto.
As an early adopter of using crowdsourcing to let California residents draft state legislation, Assemblyman Mike Gatto, D-Los Angeles, has an appreciation for how technology can help shape an issue.
He was the first lawmaker in the state to submit a crowdsourced bill – a probate law change that allows a court to assign a guardian to a deceased person’s pet. And while that measure failed to pass last year, Gatto is back with a new crowdsourced legislation and an array of other technology-centered bills in 2015.
Government Technology spoke to Gatto about the legislation he’s working on this session and why technology is vital to the future of California.
Government Technology: Your crowdsourced legislation this year deals with data security. What does it do and, reading the tea leaves a bit, what do you think its prospects are in the Legislature?
Mike Gatto: This year, we focused solely on privacy issues – it is an issue that is “sufficiently wonky” for experts in the field, but it touches the lives of each and every person in California. The people spoke, contributed, and debated the subject. The conversations led to the introduction of AB 83, a bill that will require businesses and corporations to enhance their online security standards when storing customers’ personal and private information, such as Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, and financial information.
Last year, we were very close to having the first crowdsourced bill become law. Every bill is difficult to pass in the Legislature, but I have my fingers crossed that AB 83 will make it through the Legislature and be signed by the governor.
GT: So how does AB 83 change the data security landscape for businesses to work with the state?
MG: AB 83 requires businesses that store private personal information to maintain minimum protection standards for the storage of personal data. My bill will establish a new, “reasonably prudent business” standard.
This standard, applied regularly in tort law, means that a business owes a duty of care to its customer. If a business’s conduct falls below this standard of care (i.e., it did not act as a reasonable and prudent business), then it will be deemed to have breached this duty.
GT: AB 1483 seeks to create a University of California campus devoted entirely to Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math. Why include “Arts” in the bill if the intent is to increase more “STEM” graduates?
MG: California is home to companies like Apple, Pixar and Lucasfilm that embody the creative intersection of technology and art. As the center of both the entertainment and tech industry, California is the perfect place to encourage an interdisciplinary study of these fields and to educate students capable of working in these areas.
The critical “Arts” component is often incorrectly understood to be some stand-alone program that falls somewhere between science and math. The reality is that these “STEM” subjects are integrated in a world – beyond the ivory towers of academia – that demands creative problem-solving skills.
GT: Analysts have pointed out that the amount of graduates in STEM subjects has increased by three percentage points in the state since 2000. So why do you think AB 1483 is needed?
MG: According to a 2012 report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the U.S. will need 2.3 million scientists and engineers to meet growth and net replacement costs. The BLS report points out that the science and engineering workforce is expected to grow by 14.3 percent by 2022. The Legislature needs to start thinking about the long-term outlook of California’s higher education system.
GT: AB 8 stems from the vetoed AB 47 that creates a “yellow alert” system for hit and run incidents that can get pushed to devices, similar to the Amber Alert. Yet, AB 47 was vetoed by the governor last year. How has AB 8 addressed his concerns over “overloading” the amount of alerts and testing the technology?
MG: AB 8 has been narrowly crafted to address the governor’s concerns about overloading the state’s existing network of changeable message signs. As such, the “Yellow Alert” will be broadcast only when a hit-and-run driver seriously injures or kills a victim. The local police jurisdiction will have authority to broadcast an alert on adjacent highway signs only when they have the model of the vehicle and a partial plate number. A “Yellow Alert’ will be displayed only on the highway signs and not sent to cellphones throughout the state.
GT: A number of states have these “hit and run” mobile alerts and have been successful with them. How does AB 8 differ from some of those other alert systems?
MG: I was inspired to introduce AB 8 to make a change in the large amount of hit-and-run incidents occurring throughout Los Angeles. The significant increase in apprehensions as a result of Denver’s “Medina Alert” system was very encouraging and I felt that a similar system in California could work.
Obviously California is a very large state, so we decided that the “Yellow Alert” should only be made in the local area of an incident and not statewide. A hit-and-run incident that happened in Salinas shouldn’t be broadcast in Pasadena. | 2019-04-19T16:55:47 | https://www.govtech.com/state/California-Assemblyman-Mike-Gatto-Talks-Data-Security-Tech-Education.html |

Adam’s Peak (Sinhalese: Sri Pada or “Sri Paadaya” (ශ්රී පාදය) and Samanalakanda, සමනළ කන්ද; Lit. “Butterfly Mountain”; Tamil: சிவனொளி பாதமலை, Sivanolipatha Malai; Arabic: Al-Rohun) is a 2,243 m (7,359 ft) tall conical mountain located in central Sri Lanka. It is well known for the Sri Pada, i.e., “sacred footprint”, a 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in) rock formation near the summit, which in Buddhist tradition is held to be the footprint of the Buddha, in Hindu tradition that of Shiva and in Islamic and Christian tradition that of Adam, or that of St. Thomas.
Sri Pada is first mentioned (as `Samanthakuta’) in the Deepawamsa, the earliest Pali chronicle, (4th century), and also in the 5th century chronicle Mahawamsa, where it is stated that the Buddha visited the mountain peak. The chronicle Rajavaliya states that the King Valagamba (1st century BCE) had taken refuge in the forests of Adam’s Peak against invaders from India, and later returned to Anuradhapura. The Mahawamsa again mentions the visit of King Vijayabahu I (1058–1114) to the mountain. The famous Chinese pilgrim and Buddhist traveler Fa Hien stayed in Sri Lanka in 411–12 CE and mentions Sri Pada although it is not made clear whether he actually visited it.
The Italian merchant Marco Polo in his Travels of 1298 CE noted that Adam’s Peak was an important place of pilgrimage but did not mention a footprint in the rock. The Arab traveler Ibn Battuta climbed to the summit of the mountain which he called Sarandīb in 1344 CE. In his description he mentions a stairway and iron stanchions with chains to help the pilgrims. John Davy brother of the noted chemist Sir Humphry Davy visited the peak in 1817. He recorded observing an oversized foot print carved in stone and ornamented with a single margin of brass and studded with gems.
It is an important pilgrimage site, especially for Buddhists. Pilgrims walk up the mountain, following a variety of difficult routes up thousands of steps. The journey takes several hours at least.
The mountain is most often scaled from December to May. During other months it is hard to climb the mountain due to very heavy rain, extreme wind, and thick mist.The peak pilgrimage season is in April, and the goal is to be on top of the mountain at sunrise, when the distinctive shape of the mountain casts a triangular shadow on the surrounding plain and can be seen to move quickly downward as the sun rises. | 2019-04-25T18:28:50 | http://www.info.shalanka.com/most-beautiful-places-in-sri-lanka/entertainment/adams-peak/ |
How to Enable Pin Sign-in For Domain Users on Windows 8.1?
Windows 8 and 8.1 has four types of security systems viz. Password, Picture Password and PIN. These security settings are available in Sign-in options under Accounts settings. The 4 digit PIN system is by default disabled for domain users. The PIN sign in policy determines if a domain user can sign in using a PIN. As said earlier, this feature is not configured by default but if you turn on the PIN sign-in Policy, the domain users can log in to a computer using the PIN. While using this feature it must be notes that the users’ domain passwords are cached in the system vault. The following steps will help you to turn on PIN Sign in for domain users.
1. Open Run Window by right clicking on the Start Button and clicking on Run.

A lost 16th century Mughal garden in the heart of New Delhi is to be transformed into one of the world's largest city centre parks, in a multimillion pound project from the Aga Khan and India's government.
The park will be based around Emperor Humayun's Tomb, the world heritage site believed to have been the inspiration for the Taj Mahal, and will include the Purana Qila, the medieval fort of India's Mughal and Afghan rulers, a 16th century caravanserai, smart restaurants and a museum to tell their stories.
Its driving force in India, the Aga Khan's local director Ratish Nanda, believes the project will not only provide jobs for the area's poor largely Muslim community, but also act as a peaceful sanctuary from the cacophony that comes from the capital's 16 million people.
His vision is of an oasis where visitors can quietly read a book in the shade of its rare trees, appreciate the city's rich Mughal history and enjoy Qawwali concerts in its amphitheatre to celebrate its role as the birthplace 700 years ago of Sufi music. It will recreate the city's Ridge forest and propagate some of its threatened trees and bushes to sell in its nursery.
Mr Nanda, who revived Kabul's Bagh e Babar park for the Aga Khan Trust, said he believes the Sunder Nursery, which will eventually expand from its current 170 acres to a 1,200 acre site one and a half times the size of New York's Central Park, will become the cultural and environmental heart of the city.
"We want to restore the wow factor," he said. "What other place in the world has a 14th century Sufi landscape in 100 acres of greenery? This is the largest collection of Islamic buildings in India. Humayun's Tomb is a World Heritage Site, and we're hoping as a result of our work, this [park] will be included in that.
"300,000 children visit Humayun's Tomb every year and we could triple that."
The first stage of the new park has already been transformed. Until recently it was an overgrown parched jungle of scrub, a dump site for building rubble, home to packs of street dogs and migrant workers, with the air of an abandoned public lavatory.
Its Mughal era tombs – sited as close as possible to the auspicious shrine of the Sufi saint Nizamuddin – had been raided for architectural salvage and were overgrown and vandalised. Its trees – a rare collection of the most exotic from throughout the British Empire – had been reclaimed by wild creepers.
A small army of gardeners, labourers, landscape and conservation architects are now on course to open the first 170 acre section in 2015. They have removed more than 1,000 trucks of dumped rubble, cleared acres of wild jungle, levelled the ground and laid modern versions of classical Persian gardens with hand-carved marble and sandstone fountains and water channels.
The Lakkarwala Burj tomb has been restored and set in a new rose garden, while craftsmen have recreated entire sections of white Quranic verses on the red sandstone interior walls of the Sunderwala Burj tomb.
The Sunder Nursery project will eventually employ hundreds of craftsmen, security guards, gardeners, managers, musicians and teachers from the Nizamuddin Basti, one of India's poorest communities, and will become self-financing through entry charges.
Very few, if any, of the world's great parks have their own unique musical culture, and the Sunder Nursery will showcase it with regular Sufi Qawwali concerts – the devotional singing and clapping which can transform followers into Whirling Dervishes.
"We have built an amphitheatre for events because this area has a 700 year old musical legacy, the Qawwali tradition was born here," Mr Nanda said. | 2019-04-24T16:46:35 | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/india/10278947/Aga-Khan-revives-lost-16th-century-Mughal-garden-in-heart-of-Delhi.html |
Concern is growing globally over natural resource consumption and climate change. Many governments, companies, and industries are taking action to reduce the environmental footprint associated with manufacturing, processing, and building. Meanwhile, much of the world is working through an economic downturn that has left governments and individuals in debt and trying to stay afloat. It is therefore imperative that all aspects of building and development are conducted both sustainably and economically, including wastewater management.
The environmental and economic benefits provided through the manufacture and construction of onsite (decentralized) wastewater systems versus centralized wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) were quantitatively examined through an analysis of embodied energy, embodied carbon, and the cost of each system type. Average values per sewer connection were calculated by analyzing the material and construction costs for 40 sewer extension plans from the 2005 Southwest Virginia Regional Wastewater Study. The total system and per sewer connection values of embodied energy, embodied carbon, and costs were then compared to the resource consumption of materials and construction for the same number of onsite wastewater systems. | 2019-04-20T22:31:41 | https://www.infiltratorwater.com/white-papers/green-building-with-onsite-wastewater-systems/ |
For this year’s group activity, organised by Hande and Emma, we went to an Escape Room in Eindhoven. Both teams of 7 players succeeded in solving the puzzles and escaping within the hour. Afterwards, we attended a nice Italian cooking workshop: making our own bruschetta, orechiette and risotto. Antonio really felt at home in the kitchen of our lovely hosts Ailen and Giovanni. We concluded this great day of fun and teambuilding with dinner, eating what we cooked together. | 2019-04-22T06:22:50 | https://www.voetslab.nl/news/yearly-group-activity-2017/ |

World 1- Cannon is the secret cannon level of World 1 in New Super Mario Bros. 2. It is the first cannon level in the game, and also is the first cannon level ever to use the Dash Mario mechanic, which has Mario constantly running and jumping over enemies to reach the end and the player cannot stop.
To unlock this level, the player needs to locate the secret exit in World 1- . Completing this level unlocks World Mushroom -1.
This is a very short level. The player starts in front of a cannon. Mario needs to enter the cannon and a countdown will initiate. Mario will then be shot to a night world where he needs to jump and avoid the enemies and falling into the gaps. One can collect all the coins along the way if the player wishes. Mario will continue to dash until the end of the level, so it is essential that he jumps at the right time. The only enemies here are Koopa Paratroopas. A Red Ring can also be found in the level.

A STROKE club in South Oxfordshire has celebrated its 21st birthday.
Wallingford and District Stroke Club, which aims to 'help survivors engage with life again', was first set up in 1999, and celebrated the anniversary in Crowmarsh Village Hall last week.
Sue Tregaskes, a physiotherapist who observed how Stroke victims were left with limited support after hospital treatment, helped to set up the group with local support, before Veronicka Port took charge for around 18 years.
The group are now looking for new members, following the 21st party, which featured Charis Anne Luke singing songs from musicals and love ballads.
Club secretary Nigel Hessey said: "Her singing was delightful. We then tucked into party food and a little later our birthday cake was cut & consumed.
"The purpose of the club is to help stroke survivors resume as near normal life as they can. Our focus is on socialising and having fun.
"In the winter months we meet in Crowmarsh Village Hall for entertainments and activities and in the summer we get out and about - teas in delightful gardens, pub lunches, river cruises. This year a Natural History Museum visit is planned."
The club, which has a dedicated team of volunteers, are often able to offer members transport but are looking for a couple more drivers to help out with Thursday meetings, which normally take place once a month.
To get in touch with the Stroke Association affiliated group, contact Chairman Norman Goodall on 01235 834503 or Mr Hessey, on 01491651114. | 2019-04-24T07:51:05 | https://www.heraldseries.co.uk/news/17375370.wallingford-stroke-club-look-for-new-members-after-21st-party/ |
In order to reduce the size of the library interface between the REBOL kernel and its environment, R3 introduces the concept of a device. This is especially important for lower level REBOL ports (e.g. TCP networking).
Port a specific instance of a scheme. For example, when you read a file, the scheme is used to create a port that accesses the file and its data. Each open file has its own port.
Request is a lower level (C) structure used to communicate between a port and a device. In the case of a file, it passes fields like the file name, date, size, and data to be transferred.
Device is native C code that implements a standard set of access methods for a port. Example methods include open, close, read, write, create, and delete. This level is where file or network I/O actually happens.
Only ports that require native support need requests and ports. Higher level ports, such as HTTP, do not directly create requests. Typically, they use lower level ports, such a TCP, and those do use requests.
I plan to dive much deeper into the details at the 2007 DevCon in May. I will show a few examples of devices (such as TCP itself) and outline how you can write your own.
24-Apr-2007 14:08:49 This definitely sounds interesting. I look forward to the posting of your examples for those of us who can't make to DevCon.
26-Apr-2007 11:23:46 Brilliant! Some similarities to REBOL/Services which is outstanding. Very consistent implementation. Amazing really! My mind is literally overloaded with possibilities!
27-Apr-2007 11:03:12 The REBOL virtual machine will no longer be tied to a specific hardware. Like REBOL/Services the device developer will need to include only the commands it needs to operate, allowing scalability from the simplest DSP chip to the most complex CPU.
So there is a possibility that REBOL could be used for just about anything with no RT involvement.
If you take REBOL/Services and combine it with devices, you have an incredibly secure system that can literally do anything there is hardware to do.
Imagine any hardware device being able to communicate/control/cooperate/share with any other hardware device or software application with a line or two of code. That is what this creates.
It is the platform of infinite possibilities. | 2019-04-20T23:03:57 | http://www.rebol.net/cgi-bin/r3blog.r?view=0087 |
Peer networks play an important role in delivering financial services nowadays, bringing the element of social into traditionally corporate-dominated industries. Financial technology startups played a critical role in appropriating social communication and connectivity, building business models based purely on leveraging social connectivity. The element of “social” soaked into such segments as payments, lending, commerce, and even the insurance industry.
In payments, one of the early examples of a technology company that understood how to connect social with financial elements was Venmo with its feed of repayments of friends to one another for certain gatherings and other social activities. The idea of communicating one’s financial activities to the whole personal network would have seemed wild to the traditional sector – the privacy of finances is sacred. However, the bet was placed on a young, tech-savvy generation – millennials, who did appreciate the concept then and still do. Founded eight years ago, the mobile payment service owned by PayPal understood the role of socialization in one’s life and found a perfect balance between a superior solution and its social value.
Since Venmo, P2P payments segment has grown tremendously (Zelle, PayKey, Square Cash, and many more), although the social element wasn't particularly utilized in other ways rather than the ability to send funds to one another (with exception of Gane App and a few more, maybe, which allows to share offers aside from payments).
Tech startups in other segments have gone much further – their revenue-making engine is wholly dependent on peer networks in some FinTech segments. P2P lending (Zopa, RateSetter, Funding Circle, etc.), for example, leverages technology to connect individuals with savings who wish to put their funds to work, with potential borrowers. P2P lending does not entirely correspond with the title and initial concept (since it’s mostly institutional funds fueling the loans). Nonetheless, that does not cancel the fact that the segment emerged out of the financial value recognized in social connectivity.
P2P insurance is another case of a disruptive business model based entirely on leveraging the power of social networks (PeerCover, Friendsurance, Gather, Jointly, Lemonade, TongJuBao, etc.). Peer networks and hyperconnectivity might even be one of the most powerful transformative forces in the insurance industry, which has traditionally been very ‘corporate.’ In 2015 alone, InsurTech startups raised $2.5 billion in capital globally.
Russ Banham, a Pulitzer-nominated business journalist, described the concept well by saying that P2P companies are marrying this shared insurance concept with another risk transfer strategy: captive insurance companies owned by corporations. Captives are a way for their owners to internally fund the first layers of financial loss, as opposed to transferring these risks to an insurer. Above these layers, the companies buy excess insurance or reinsurance.
The retail industry has also been largely affected by the ‘socialization’ frenzy. Social media channels have become powerful gatekeepers in facilitating commerce. Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest – every massive channel has integrated a shopping capability, not mentioning the power of referrals. In fact, Facebook can be considered a mammoth of social commerce – the platform accounts for 50% of total social referrals and 64% of total social revenue. Pinterest is placed second as a social commerce player despite a relatively small user base – the platform is estimated to drive 16% of social revenue despite having an audience 6.5 times smaller than Twitter.
Not only does “social” have a tremendous impact on business models across industries, but it also plays an increasingly important role in driving insights about one’s personality. Peer networks, likes and participation in groups, represent a source of knowledge on one’s hallmarks, interests, potential purchasing behavior – which technology startups are now able to translate into creditworthiness assessment (use of alternative data in risk assessment, social element in the concept of unified identity).
Social media channels went a long way since their inception – turning from news feeds and chats into all-in-one platforms, tightly gripping onto users’ everyday activities. Multipurpose channels eliminate the need for five different apps when they are able to perform all five functions in one place. Essentially, the like of Messenger, WhatsApp, Twitter, WeChat and others are eliminating the need for using any other app, creating a streamlined wholesome experience within one platform. And financial institutions should see it an opportunity to become a part of the deal given an increasing importance of those channels in users’ everyday life. | 2019-04-19T16:42:01 | https://gomedici.com/the-socialization-of-financial-services/ |
Sericulture, or silk farming, is the rearing of silkworms for the production of silk. Although there are several commercial species of silkworms, Bombyx mori is the most widely used and intensively studied silkworm. Silk was first produced in China as early as the Neolithic period. Sericulture has become an important cottage industry in countries such as Brazil, China, France, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Russia. Today, China and India are the two main producers, with more than 60% of the world's annual production.
According to Confucian text, the discovery of silk production dates to about 2700 BC, although archaeological records point to silk cultivation as early as the Yangshao period (5000 – 3000 BC). By about the first half of the 1st century AD it had reached ancient Khotan, and by AD 140 the practice had been established in India. In the 6th century the smuggling of silkworm eggs into the Byzantine Empire led to its establishment in the Mediterranean, remaining a monopoly in the Byzantine Empire for centuries (Byzantine silk). In 1147, during the Second Crusade, Roger II of Sicily (1095–1154) attacked Corinth and Thebes, two important centres of Byzantine silk production, capturing the weavers and their equipment and establishing his own silkworks in Palermo and Calabria, eventually spreading the industry to Western Europe. | 2019-04-20T13:22:39 | https://wn.com/Sericulture |
Bulgaria is a nation beaming with heart-warming tradition and folklore. When I touched down in Sofia to begin my adventure, it was Baba Marta Day (Grandma March).
My friend Lucy and a few of her friends whom I had never met, gave me martenitsi; red and white bands of thread to be worn around your wrist or somewhere on your person. The white represents integrity and virginity; the color of Christ. The red is the woman and health; a sign of blood, conception, and birth. At the first signs of spring (emerging blooms or the early appearance of storks, swallows, and cranes), the martenitsi are removed and hung on the branches of the flowering trees. This gesture assures that you enjoy good health and much happiness throughout the coming year. It’s literally a beautiful picture, little strands of red and white hanging amongst the buds; given by one person to another person in hopes that they will be blessed with a happy, prosperous year. Even in a small village; hundreds of prays and hundreds of blossoms.
There’s another custom that has a morbid origin and often drives unknowing tourists a little bit crazy, but in an entertaining way. Bulgarians nod their heads opposite of you and I when answering ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Up and down signifies a negative response. A side to side motion is an affirmative response. According to folklore, this habit began way-back in the 15th century. Bulgaria was under the oppressive rule of the Ottoman Empire for 500 years, which suppressed the native people with evil, deadly measures. When asked by an Ottoman soldier, as a knife was held to their throat, if they were a Christian or to denounce their belief in God, a wise Bulgarian would nod their head up and down and answer in their native tongue…”NO”.
I knew of this custom before the beginning of my adventure in Bulgaria, having researched extensively before the onset of my journey. But the memory of that little helpful hint apparently didn’t last very long. Lucy’s birthday is in the latter days of February, but a true celebration was planned after my arrival. Not for my benefit, I was just lucky. So, a dozen friends and family rented a beautiful, enormous house in Koprivshtitsa for the weekend. (On your next trip to Bulgaria:), work this idea into your plans. It was SO wonderful). As everyone was settling into their bedrooms, I met Tanya, Lucy’s brother’s girlfriend. She was sitting alone in the large dining hall. Wanting to impress my new-found friends and show how friendly that I can be, I politely introduced myself to Tanya and asked if she spoke any English. With warm doe-eyes and without speaking a word, she calmly nodded her head up and down. Well, terrific! I unleashed into a ramble about how excited that I was to be in her country! How beautiful this village was! We’re going to have a blast this weekend! Where’s the beer! She just sat there and stared at me. Oh, that’s right, she had shaken her head ‘no’. She had no idea what I was saying. We never really ‘spoke’ again. I think maybe I scared her.
As we drove to Koprivshtitsa during that first ‘excursion’, Vasco (whom I had only just met) nonchalantly turned from his attention to driving and offered me a drink from his 1-liter plastic bottle of water. “Why, yes, I will” and I took a big swig, thinking to myself what a friendly gesture that was by Vasco and, Thank Goodness I was not among germaphobes.
Lodging during one of our outings was reserved at a quint, little ten-guestroom hotel owned by a friend of Vasco and Lucy. As we sat at a table in the small dining room, hungry for dinner, our waitress alerted the owner by phone of our arrival. He walked in a short time later supplied with hugs, smiles and a 2-liter former soda bottle filled with his version of Rakia. He joined us at our table for cocktails and conversation. For the most part, not understanding a single word being spoken, I just smiled and nodded. But being an old restaurant guy myself, I couldn’t help but wonder what was behind the door leading back to the kitchen. I was double intrigued after dinner. The ladies had prepared a special dinner just for the three of us. Roast pork stuffed with rice and vegetables. Drinks were strong. Salad was good. The grilled bread was wonderful. And dinner was outstanding. There’s only one way to finish off a meal of that quality. Strong coffee and sinful sweets.
I simply could not restrain myself any longer. I asked Vasco to ask his friend if I could possibly ‘just peek’ through the kitchen door. I wanted to see where a dinner like that comes from. Vasco turned and presented my request to our host. The friend began excitedly answering Vasco, his arms flaring about, his head swinging left and right. “My God, I’ve caused an international incident!” The gentleman was being an extremely proud owner. “Of course, he can see the kitchen! We are very proud of our food! “My little ‘peek’ into the kitchen turned into a full-fledged tour. I felt welcomed while meeting with the kitchen staff. One lady gave me a demonstration on how the pita-like bread had been grilled in an old, stationary iron pan. Perhaps it was the Rakia’s fault, but once again, I had been completely confused and misled by a Bulgarian’s unique style of head nods.
For 99% of my time spent in Bulgaria, I carried a piece of paper with me, on which Lucy had written the addresses of her home and my rented apartment. The other 1% of the time was spent in the shower. Also, written on the slip of paper were the numbers 9 12 63. That looks like a birth date, but it was instead a group of numbers very near and dear to my heart; and to my survival. That was the number posted on all vehicles of a taxi cab company that Lucy had recommended as being consistently reliable and fair. Some less-reputable drivers had the tendency to take you on a wild goose chase and charge outrageous fees. Especially if you were an English-speaking, middle-aged American.
Lost in translation: ‘Dah’ means ‘yes’, ‘Ney’ means ‘no. You can convey your intended message by nodding your head in different directions, but the message sent depends on whether you’re a Bulgarian or live most anywhere else on the entire planet Earth.
So, I’m out in front of The Mall of Sofia, hopefully on my way to Lucy’s place for dinner. As usual, the cabbies are hanging out in front of the mall, devouring the never-ending buffet of shoppers making their way back home. On this evening however, I couldn’t find my ‘lucky’ 9 12 63 taxis anywhere. I waited and waited and soon grew impatient. Finally, I said ‘screw it’ and grabbed the next available taxi. What could possibly go wrong? I didn’t really understand the pricing chart posted on the cab’s rear seat window, so I made a short attempt to question the driver. Two things were instantly clear. He didn’t speak any English and, from the dark, leathery skin, appeared to be from one of the city’s scariest gangs—the dreaded Gypsy cabbies. Right from the get-go, I’m watching him with a leery eye. I sort of had a feel for the ride over to Lucy’s, having tracked back and forth numerous times. We hadn’t traveled four blocks when he turned onto an unfamiliar avenue. I didn’t say a word. Block after block, nothing was looking familiar. I can’t even read the signs, yet even they looked unfamiliar. The driver kept looking down at my ‘magic’ paper of vital addresses, pausing like he remembered something and then continued down road after unfamiliar road. My cab rides to Lucy’s place during this vacation had averaged between 3 or 4 Lev, one way. I glanced at the spinning meter on the dashboard and it had just crossed the 14 mark. So, then we started to have an argument which neither of us could really understand. As we passed a massive row of familiar looking apartment buildings, I start yelling “Dah! Dah! Dah!” while shaking my head up and down, indicating “No! No! No!”. He’s yelling “Ney! Ney! Ney! while also shaking his head up and down, indicating “No, you dumbass American tourist!” I finally ‘won’ and convinced him to let me out near the apartment complex. I got out of the cab and threw a 20 on the cab’s front seat. “Enjoy your @@@@@ money!” I stood for a moment on the sidewalk, allowing my blood pressure to return to its normal, hypertensive level. Then I became overcome with a terrible realization. That’s not Lucy’s building. “Where’s my Rakia, dammit!” So, there I stood, in a non-English speaking city of 1.5 million people, with street signs written in Cyrillic letters. Me and my little slip of paper with two addresses must have looked like a lost dog holding his ID tag. I approached a young woman heading my way down the sidewalk, praying for a miracle. Bulgarian youth are often at least bi-lingual, many speaking some English, which this young lady thankfully did. But the address was a mystery to her as well. As I started to panic, I noticed a taxi-cab parked alongside the curb a little way down the street. The off-duty female driver somehow got a message through my thick skull, “No Service”. But she took a glance at my address paper, pointed off in the distance, and with broken English, said “Only 1000 meters”. I flashed 20 Lev and said “No, you take me there”.
I’m shaking my head from side to side – Yes, I loved it. | 2019-04-22T10:59:43 | https://earthtorobin.com/2016/06/29/adventure-travel/ |
After working in the digital media industry for nearly 15 years, I’ve seen plenty of blogs and websites come and go. This A-Z of soulful blogging includes my top tips and strategies to help get your blog bursting with creativity and be a magnet for readers and potential customers alike.
A blog that’s written from a place of authenticity will easily blossom. Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery however it’s exhausting keeping up the façade of trying to be something or someone you’re not. Be authentic and the writing and content creation will flow. Your tribe will gravitate towards you and your work, and will become loyal supporters in no time.
Asking for help isn’t always easy. Sometimes you might feel like a failure or needy by doing so, but the reality is you’ve just got to reach out to people, in or beyond your existing network. Do you have a friend who’s connected to someone you’d love to meet? Ask for an introduction. Stuck with a tech issue and need some guidance? Tap your existing network or find a group of likeminded bloggers where you can share tips and resources. Never shy away from asking and be ready to give back generously.
Being an active blogger means you’re regularly producing content and filling up your website, which is good for Google. It’s also great for developing your writing style and keeping your readers up to date and interested in what you’ve got to say. Part of being an active blogger also means looking after the backend of your blog by installing the latest plugins, security patches and backing up your content. Get familiar with your blog analytics to see what posts are performing and where your traffic is coming from.
More often than not, your blog or your website is the cornerstone of your business and an online extension of your voice, style and brand. It’s the place to showcase your latest articles, news, products and services and is a primary platform for people to find and connect with you. Provide readers with a brilliant and cohesive user experience by ensuring your blog is truly representative of who you are. If you’re a solopreneur, then what you publish online in the form of content and design actually becomes part of your personal brand.
Feeling bored with your blog? You’re most likely to get blog boredom (blogdom) more than your average reader because you’re often looking at your blog with a critical mindset and you’ve read the content over and over. Change up the look and feel with a new theme or swap out graphical elements to refresh the visual appeal. Tweaking the design and adding fresh content regularly keeps it interesting.
Content creation is the lifeblood of your blog and originality is key. It’s how readers get to know you and it’s what keeps them coming back for more. Collaborating with other bloggers is a great way to showcase your talent, cross pollinate ideas, forge alliances and expand your network. If you are inviting guest bloggers, keep the quality consistent and be sure to communicate your standards to any potential collaborators.
There’s no denying we live in a digital world and we are massive consumers of content 24/7. Your blog should look good and perform well online but also be mobile responsive so it’s viewable on a smartphone or tablet. Keep your blog dynamic and engaging with content that is disruptive. No one wants to read article after article that’s all about you. It’s like having a conversation at a party with someone who only speaks about themselves, which is really boring. When it comes to blogging it pays to know your strengths and weaknesses. If the technology aspect of blogging has you running in the opposite direction, consider delegating some of the set up or design work by using a service like Fiverr.com, Airtasker.com or with a VA (virtual assistant).
It’s easy for your entrepreneurial spirit to be dampened if you find blogging to be a chore. What to write about and what will people think of your work are typical concerns when you’re first starting out. Think about the sort of experience you want readers to have when they visit your blog. What are you really passionate writing about? Blogging should be something you look forward to. Make the most of your time by blogging with efficiency. Spend some time writing articles and schedule blog posts and social media in advance to free up your creative time.
The blogosphere can be a lonely place, especially if you’re pouring your heart and soul into creating gorgeous content and no one seems to be visiting or leaving a comment on your blog. Is there anybody out there? It can take a while to build a loyal following and the key is quality content and consistency. Having a nice opt in freebie can be good for building your email list. Connecting with other likeminded bloggers can also help you to build your profile. If you read someone’s blog post and love it, be sure to say so by leaving a comment. Regularly check your favourite blogs and get to know the people behind the words. If you’re not getting the levels of traffic you want be sure to check your SEO and one of the simplest tips is check your fonts. You might love a particular, quirky font but if it looks odd on the screen or is difficult to read then people simply won’t stick around to read the content.
If you’re looking to position yourself as a thought-leader via your blog be generous with the information you’re sharing. You never know when or where your next potential client is coming from or how a new business relationship may eventuate. The Internet is a truly global marketplace. Your next customer might be from the same city or someone from a different country. When it comes to business and growing your online presence via your blog, remember we all start from humble beginnings. If you’re an established blogger, show your support to a new blog or biz that’s caught your eye by leaving a comment or sharing a mention on social media. It never hurts to give back and be grateful for any support that’s been shown to you on your blogging journey.
The social and business networks built through blogging can become central to how well you establish your profile and brand in the offline world. Reach out and connect with your network in real life through events and local meet ups. If sales and generating revenue is part of your focus, then hone in on your business strategy to make sure you’re paying equal attention to the e-commerce side of your blog. If you’re a new blogger, avoid the typical 6 month burn out and perish syndrome and use the first year to try out new ideas with content creation and design to see what works best for you as you refine positioning and niche. As you’ll be hustling for opportunities, it pays to stay humble and offer your assistance to others when you can.
As a society, technology connects us in ways not previously experienced by past generations. The flipside to this connectivity is there are many entrepreneurs and bloggers today working in isolation. Isolation can be hard to deal with particularly if you have an extroverted personality. With many opting for email communication it can even be challenging to have a phone conversation with someone. It pays to take a balanced approach to communication in business and in life so if you feel disconnected, try to incorporate a mix of styles to support you which could include face-to-face meetings or skype video calls, speaking engagements or networking groups.
Inspiring your readers with heartfelt, well written content will keep them coming back for more but it’s not enough to simply have a blog. People need to find you online and that’s where building a strong following on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook and Twitter can really help. Instructional video content is growing in popularity and if this type of content appeals to you then overcome any insecurities you might have with being on screen and record a few videos at home for practice first. Improve your on-camera technique and get used to talking straight into the camera with emotion. Let your personality shine through.
It can be frustrating when you’re not achieving the results you want from blogging and business and you see someone else nailing it on all fronts. But don’t let jealousy bite you or become consumed by it. We’re all on our own journey and are at different stages of our individual journeys. Being jealous of someone else’s success will detract you from your own mission and eat away at your confidence. Jettison jealously and focus on bringing your personal best to everything that you do and the results will come.
Kinfolk; your tribe, your circle. The people that will be your biggest supporters and most avid readers. As soon as you start blogging, start nurturing your tribe. Have a clear understanding about who they are and connect with them in a meaningful and authentic way. Producing content for the web means you’re creating for a kinetic platform. It’s an ever evolving, pervasive, dynamic environment so keep your content fresh, accessible and full of movement with beautiful visual elements.
Take the time to listen to what your readers like and learn about their preferences. Once you have a clear understanding of this, creating compelling content will become so much easier. Ultimately you want to love what you do so leverage all your available resources to bring your blog to life.
Stay motivated about your blog by preparing an editorial calendar that will keep you moving towards your writing goals and content creation like a pro. If you’ve reached a stage with your blog that has you questioning its overall direction, go back to your original vision and start formulating a plan that will bring you back into mission mode. Refresh your marketing approach and try out a few different ideas that might attract new readers like a competition, webinar or video series. Mix up content formats to see what works best with your tribe.
Neglected, abandoned blogs are everywhere so make sure your blog doesn’t perish by keeping your content newsworthy and interesting. Nurture your tribe and give your readers a mix of personal, inspirational and instructional content.
Keep an open mind about the types of publicity activities you’re willing to undertake when building your brand and blog. If you dislike dealing with the media or reluctant to engage in public speaking try to overcome these obstacles and be prepared when opportunity knocks. Stick to a calendar system and practice diarising your daily to-dos to help you stay organised. To avoid task-overwhelm, group scheduled tasks by project and break down jobs within a project into manageable chunks that will enable you to progress and remain optimistic.
Procrastination is the nemesis of productivity. If you find yourself putting off a certain project take the time to question why and identify the real reason behind the reluctance to move forward. The most exciting projects are the ones we are most passionate about. Passion fuels creativity and it’s often the practical driving force that stretches us beyond our comfort zone when dealing with completing larger, more complex projects. Personalise your blog and give it a professional edge with original, proofread content and most importantly, protect your digital work from theft by using an online plagiarism tool like Copyscape.com.
In the realms of content production, quality versus quantity is the winner every time. Thoughtful, beautifully written blog posts that occur with regularity will capture your reader’s interest and keep them engaged. Don’t sacrifice your standards to meet a publishing demand just for the sake of putting something out there. Know when to quit if an element on your blog or a particular topic isn’t generating interest. Question your readers to find out what they want you to write about and keep experimenting.
Running a blog is a two way communication channel. If someone takes the time to read your blog post and makes a comment, be sure to respond promptly and in a meaningful way. Move beyond the typical remarks and engage your readers in a conversation that forges a closer connection and opens up the dialogue. Think relationship building, not simply reply and you’ll create a richer engagement with your tribe and potential ideal clients.
Sharing the content you’ve created is critical in driving traffic to your blog and building your online profile. Understand the content consumption preferences of your tribe and what social media platforms they’re using and schedule accordingly. Use social media to your advantage but don’t compromise your blogging efforts by spending all your time building your presence on different social platforms. Ultimately you want those connections and conversations to happen on your blog whenever possible where you have more chance of converting casual readers into valuable subscribers.
Trust in your instincts. If you’re fretting over pushing the publish button on your latest blog post, go with it and trust in what you have written and what you have created. Sometimes what you write won’t hit the mark, but that’s OK. You learn from the experience, move on and try again. If you’ve been absent from your blog or need to take a break then be transparent with your readers and share what’s going on. They’ll appreciate your honesty and approachability.
Make your blog an inviting destination by writing with your unique style and provide plenty of useful, relevant content to help readers improve their own lives. Maintain the upkeep of your blog and if you’re publishing via a blogging platform like Wordpress be sure to uninstall any untested plugins that could cause a stability issue.
It’s almost impossible to predict what content will go viral so don’t create content hinging your hopes on it being a viral smash. What’s trending in content right now are visuals. Images and video grab attention and are a critical element in content marketing. The world needs to hear your voice via your blog but it also wants to look at pretty pictures too. Having a clear vision for your blog is also paramount. What do you want to achieve as a result of producing content? What’s the reason you want to create a blog in the first place? While we’ve talked a lot about blogging and business from an entrepreneurial viewpoint, there is absolutely no reason why you couldn’t apply the various strategies to a purely creative or personal blog. It’s often the case when we’re investing our time on a passionate pursuit, it can sometimes grow and become ripe for commercial interest and investment.
The wonderful words you write and all the hard work you invest in building your blog will pay off and win the eyes of readers and the hearts of your destined tribe. Keep weaving your uniqueness through everything you produce for your blog and let people connect with your true, authentic self.
First impressions count online so make your blog a welcoming destination that is xenodochial with user friendly design, accessible type and the right mix of content. Give your blog the x-factor and give readers a reason to visit again and again.
Say yes to opportunities that will help you to build your blog and brand. How else will people get to know you and your work? Support yourself by saying yes more and embrace the possibilities that flow your way.
Before publishing your next post, check to see if you can tighten up the text by zeroing in and removing any unnecessary words or use a tool like PaperRater.com to improve your writing and readability.

Predators aren’t usually humans’ best friends. Their tendencies to consume livestock, pets and us have a lot to do with that. But do they deserve their bad rap?
An international review of recent papers suggests predators and scavengers manage our waste and control our pests but get little credit. These carnivores — often imperiled by human-driven conflict and habitat loss — serve people in lots of unrecognized ways, researchers found, and should be appreciated and conserved rather than scorned and suppressed.
A doctoral candidate at the University of Queensland in Australia, O’Bryan and his fellow researchers examined studies conducted worldwide in the last decade on the ecosystem services predators and scavengers perform. From mountain lions and dingoes to bats and vultures, they found over a dozen varied instances where a carnivore proved a boon to human health or economics — advantages that had previously only been demonstrated in scavengers.
“It’s interesting how some species considered pests in many cases are our friends,” O’Bryan said.
In North America, bats protect billions of dollars in corn yield revenue by controlling insect populations, O’Bryan said. An experiment in Indonesia indicated that insect-eating birds and bats can boost coffee production by upwards of 30 percent.
In Yemeni villages and towns lacking garbage disposal systems, Egyptian vultures (Neophron percnopterus) remove more than 20 percent of organic waste, he said. In Spain, vultures consuming livestock carcasses can save corporations the millions of insurance premium dollars it would otherwise take to transport and discard the dead animals.
Australian ranchers mostly see dingoes (Canis lupus dingo) as a menace because they can pounce on calves, O’Bryan said, but these canines could actually enhance cattle numbers by keeping in check kangaroos that compete with the cows for pasture. Another paper he looked at predicted that restoring cougars (Puma concolor) to the eastern United States could promote road safety since they’d restrict the abundance of their main prey, deer, which cause costly and sometimes deadly vehicle collisions.
Educating managers and locals in places plagued by human-wildlife conflict about the services predators and scavengers provide becomes increasingly crucial as people continue encroaching on their habitat, he said. Eighty percent of scavenging species are in fast decline, and many predator species’ historic ranges have shrunk by over 80 percent.
He plans to further bridge the gap between biologists’ knowledge of predator and scavenger diets and of these carnivores’ contributions to humans by investigating more species around the globe.
“We urge people to do more research so we can better document these services,” O’Bryan said. | 2019-04-23T06:15:21 | https://wildlife.org/despite-their-bad-rap-predators-do-a-lot-to-help-humans/ |

Everyone forms their own group of 2 or 3 students. To pass the class, you must find a group. The course staff will not intervene in group assignment.
At most 1 student in the class will need to drop if they are the only one left without a group. The alternative is to forcibly assign that stray student to an existing group, which would disrupt more than 1 student, so it would be worse. In practice, everyone ends up with a group, since the few students who came into the class without groups just band together into a group of their own.
Everyone takes responsibility for finding their own groups, which minimizes resentment. If students were instead assigned to groups and someone in their group flakes out or drops the class, then the rest of the group would feel resentful toward the course staff for putting them in this predicament.
If 4 friends want to form their own group, they can easily split into two groups of 2. Nobody gets left out.
Note that larger groups (e.g., with 4 to 6 students) means less work for the course staff, since there are fewer groups to supervise and grade. However, I would rather sacrifice some amount of detail in supervision and grading in exchange for students getting to work in smaller groups. I think that's better for students while still keeping a manageable work load for the course staff. | 2019-04-23T23:53:43 | http://www.pgbovine.net/class-project-group-policy.htm |
Before making his first firebowl, Unger spent months studying flame imagery. As with his other work— which includes fences, gates, trellises, and outdoor furnishings and sculptures (figurative, abstract and kinetic)— Unger cuts each firebowl freehand, using a flame torch.

It happens every few years: a seismic shift in the way we live our lives fuels a change in human behaviour so significant, it blows the concept of the office as we know it out of the water. Modern technology is no exception. Fast becoming the catalyst behind one of the biggest shake-ups the office has ever seen – from design to location and from sustainability to well-being – it is the shift of our generation. And hard though it may be to believe that robotic security guards and app-controlled meeting rooms are just the beginning, there is still a long way to go.
So what might the workplace of the future look like? We asked six office-space experts from around the world to hazard a guess as to where, and how, we will we all be working in ten years from now.
Lord Norman Foster is one of the best known architects in the world. Now 82, he is the designer behind some of the world’s most iconic buildings including City Hall and Bloomberg HQ in London, the Reichstag Dome and the $5bn new Apple Campus 2 in California.
What will the office look like in 10 years’ time?
Norman Foster: Greener – in every sense. Young people will choose office buildings based on facilities and lifestyle but also on their sustainability credentials. Future generations will be much more demanding and much more questioning in terms of what a potential employer will be doing to tackle climate change. So I think we will see a shift where creating a good quality working environment which is more responsible in terms of sustainability becomes good for business as well as for the environment.
What will we see more of – and what will we see less of?
NF: More nature and more sustainable features. And perhaps less real estate developer involvement. The overarching trend is very much the entrepreneurs pushing new ideas for design forward. Apple Park was initiated by Steve Jobs then carried on by [chief design officer] Jony Ive and his team with the support of [chief executive] Tim Cook. As a rule, developers now tend to just follow the market whereas the entrepreneurs lead it.
What do you think will be the single biggest driver of change in the way we work over the next 10 years?
NF: I think the social agenda will be the big driving force. And technology. But also trying to overcome our natural, human fear of change.
How will this affect the built environment of our cities?
NF: Take 3D-printed buildings as an example. I think, if properly harnessed this would offer a lot of opportunities. The downside would be mindless repetition or intrinsically bad design practice. But I would ultimately take a more optimistic view and say it offers greater customisation potential and greater room for creativity. Of course it raises some very big social issues. If you are able, through robots and AI, to do things very quickly and efficiently that are otherwise very labour intensive, then that’s liberating in one sense. But there are issues over the future of the workforce – but historically these sorts of changes have resulted in higher levels of education and a more productive redeployment of labour.
Tanya Wood is director of Soho Works, the workplace offshoot of hospitality group and members’ club Soho House. She oversees the group’s coworking spaces in London’s Shoreditch as well as potential future expansion plans.
Tanya Wood: By then we expect the work place to have become even more comfortable – a place where you choose to spend more time without the pressures and formality of the traditional office. With a call for more flexible working hours already, people are spending less physical time at their formal office. They want spaces that actually cater for, and enhance, their working lives. That could be access to everything from gyms or social space, bedrooms or a provision of studios and specialist equipment or facilities to support content creators.
TW: Evolving socioeconomics. By this I mean that more international travel, better gender equality (and sharing of childcare) and new technologies will result in a society that wants and needs more choice, autonomy and independence in their working life.
How will this impact the built environment of our cities?
TW: Traditional office space is under pressure so office landlords will need to adapt to stay relevant.
How will it affect the way we use our homes?
TW: In the future we expect that the workplace will complement home life more and more. When an office caters for more aspects of your life, home can become a true sanctuary.
How do you think the concept of the office as a business ‘club’ will develop over the years?
TW: People love to belong and feel part of something. The idea of professional networking is not new and by bringing this under one roof you create a very fertile ground for collaboration, which empowers workers. With coworking operators expanding globally, suddenly the membership becomes about much more than just a building or a physical space to go and work in, it’s also an international supportive community.
Tamara Brisk: Offices in a decade will be designed to best foster our cognitive processes and working preferences. We already know that people are more creative at certain times of day and that environmental stimuli can amplify collaboration but we are at the very beginning of our understanding. In a decade, knowledge workers will be more productive because they will be better able to tap their mental capacities. For example, individuals will know that our finest strategic brainstorming prowess happens in the middle of the day and even have mental warm-up exercises to foster their performance.
Our work spaces in the future will provide different environments for different phases of work – like protective insulated cocoons for periods of deep concentration. These will be in addition to today’s stimuli-filled social co-working spaces that promote collaboration.
TB: We will see more flexibility of space usage. For example, building cafeterias that were only used during breakfast and lunch hours in the past will serve as collaborative work spaces and meeting rooms. Open space offices will be divisible at the click of a button.
We will see fewer long-term leases. While businesses will still require and benefit from co-locating their employees, they will want more flexibility to add and subtract space as their needs evolve.
TB: Research about how to best unlock our mental capacity and manage the speed and ubiquity of information will make us more productive with no supplementary effort.
How far do you think connectivity will move on in offices over the next decade?
TB: It will become as important as location and price in the choice of an office. Excellent, reliable connectivity will become standard.
Mikael Benfredj is founder of Patchwork, a furniture store turned coworking space in the heart of Paris. When people started to use the display furniture as make-shift workspaces, Mikael embraced the demand for a change of use and now has plans to expand.
Mikael Benfredj: I don’t think companies will be separated the way they are today. There might not be one dedicated building for a single company. Or even dedicated floors. I hope large companies will want to expand their values and culture more profoundly around their partners and clients. Design will be sunnier – meaning it should have more space available outside – and smarter, meaning more automation.
MB: We will see more integrated services such as childcare facilities, laundries, hairdressers, banks and post offices, plus more regulation – things like lighting, chair comfort and screen hours will all be monitored. And I think offices will be more disability-friendly too. And there will be less personalisation of your specific spot or desk.
How will the changing office affect the way we use our homes?
MB: Work will be more invasive. Even more than it is today, thanks to frictionless technology and the ability to work anywhere. I think ‘workspace’ will become a ‘meetingspace’.
How has your experience of watching a furniture store evolve into a coworking space shaped your view on the way people want to work?
MB: Considering we didn’t do it on purpose, it was very inspiring to watch the transformation of the usage of the space in a short period of time. I remember the days when one or two people would come into the store to work. It was very calm. Today it’s like a factory. There are 40 to 50 people every day, coming in and out all day long to have meetings and work.
Despina Katsikakis advised Google when it was first developing its office concept – possibly now one of the most copied on the planet. She is now advising on 22 Bishopsgate in London, set to become the UK’s first WELL Certified building and acts as a consultant on the future of workplace design for Accenture, BBC, Deutsche Bank, Lend Lease, Nokia, and GlaxoSmithKline, Microsoft, and Morgan Stanley.
Despina Katsikakis: We will see a much more diversified portfolio or flexible and on-demand work spaces. Both the nature of corporate portfolios and our own personal workspaces will become a series of locations to work, based on convenience, function and comfort. This will mean they are much simpler and used much more intensively and intermittently.
DK: More choice of environments, amenities and services with a focus on people’s performance. And I think we will see less offices with one-size-fits-all rows of desks with a focus on cost reduction and hard metrics.
DK: Existing building stock will be reinvented as a blurring of functions becomes the norm as a result of technology that allows us to work, live, learn and play anywhere and anytime.
Dan Harvey is vice chairman of the Bay Area Occupier Services group for the world’s biggest commercial property agent, CBRE. He works closely with the biggest office occupiers in San Francisco and Silicon Valley and has up-to-date insight into current and future trends when it comes to office requirements of some of the most innovative companies in the world.
Dan Harvey: We’re already starting to see a pushback on some of the tech and the elimination of privacy. So a departure from open-plan as a blanket design default and a move back to some private offices. Collaboration is great but there is an emerging feeling that without a choice, people are sometimes finding it challenging to get stuff done. So through that push for a productive workforce, future offices may become more private again.
DH: Going straight to the unusual stuff, we could see more sensory deprivation tanks and things that help staff reach this ‘state of flow’ that everyone is talking about here in the Bay Area. It sounds quite crazy but access to this sort of experience, the removal of neuro stimulation to allow employees to work at their creative best, is popular. And while we won’t see less technology we might well see more controlled tech.
DH: The growth of the ‘office experience’ – the hospitality side. | 2019-04-18T10:34:37 | https://thespaces.com/what-will-the-office-look-like-in-10-years-time/ |

Cannabis is a drug derived from the cannabis plant. Cannabis is a depressant and it is further classified as a ‘psychoactive’ drug. THC is the active chemical in Cannabis which people get addicted to. THC leads to poor judgement, an increase in blood pressure and drowsiness. Once THC enters the brain it binds to cannabinoid receptors. This process mimics the otherwise natural pleasure producing activities in the brain. Continued use of cannabis leads to the user building up a tolerance to the drug. This means more and more must be consumed in order to feel ‘high’. Over time the user will gain a psychological dependency to cannabis.
Cannabis potency has increased dramatically over the past decade. Variations of cannabis often known as ‘skunk’ contain up to 10 times the amount of THC to variations sold in the 1990s. This led the United Kingdom to re-classify cannabis from Class C to Class B to reflect the damage the drug inflicts on society.
When you attend our cannabis rehabilitation centre you will be subject to 24 hours a day medical observation during the detoxification phase. During this time cannabis residue which lingers in your body will be given enough time to be removed from your body. Uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms will likely arise during this period. Since THC is fat-soluble it is capable of being stored within the body’s fat cells for over a month and so the drug will remain in your system even after initial detoxification has concluded.
Once initial detoxification has concluded you will attend various therapy sessions. During this time old negative beliefs will be tackled and new powerful coping strategies will be built. Therapy takes the form of ‘group therapy’ and ‘individual therapy’. Cognitive behavioural therapy will be employed throughout.When your cannabis rehabilitation programme draws to a close an individual relapse prevention programme will be drawn up. This will reduce the possibility of relapse once you leave the confines of our centre. We work with local support groups throughout the United Kingdom such as Marijuana Anonymous and you will be referred to one such group if deemed necessary and with your consent.
If you are ready to enter residential treatment for your cannabis addiction then give Rehab 4 Addiction a call today. Cannabis addiction treatment could save your life and the cost of the treatment is usually miniscule in comparison to the cost associated with the continuation of addiction. Call today on 0800 140 4690 or complete the enquiry form. | 2019-04-21T01:03:39 | https://www.rehab4addiction.co.uk/cannabis-rehabilitation |
1 approach to check at the selection method is to view it like a collection of obstacles that applicants must clear in order to get the job. For instance the task of creating the program could be split between 2 people (or more based on the intricacy of the software). Finally there’s the challenging job of repatriating employees after foreign assignments. International assignments bring lots of risk factors especially terrorism in the present time. Managing international assignments and localizations is a challenging job.
So far as an organization is concerned, Human Resource Management is an essential and somewhat a small complex endeavor. Whenever your organization made a decision to go global two decades before, the executives didn’t understand what they were getting into. Such organizations learned that in case you don’t locate a means to do those things, unhappy returnees often end up working for the competition.
Compliance issues concerning a global executive assignment aren’t just theoreticalthey present very real challenges. Some problems are hard to solve, while some are simple. Although a problem might be computationally solvable in principle, in actual practice it might not be that simple. It is that if you do not keep up with skills training you run the risk of falling behind your peers. For instance, some difficult problems need algorithms which take an exponential quantity of time in conditions of the size of the problem to address. One reason why it’s so tough for HR to support global small business units is that simple worldwide policies don’t get the job done. You’re going to be introduced to the most recent thinking and research findings and be in a position to challenge some of the ones that have created it.
In the present scenario, the secret to international success is global marketing. Outsourcing gives business owners the chance to profit from access to workers that are skilled in some specific regions of study, access to new suggestions and flexibility of work to mention a couple. Temporary employment opportunities may use unskilled labor surplus in the brief run, but in the very long run it is only going to damage firm reputation. No prior experience of human resource management is needed. It’s therefore essential that any candidate ought to have a very good sound knowledge of International Assignment Management services and suitable experience in order to fulfil the position to its entire potential and expectation. You will also develop skills which will boost your individual effectiveness as an important thinker and encourage creative and productive approaches to complex management troubles.
In such cases, managers may tend to decrease the differences between domestic and global environment and mainly concentrate on the domestic troubles. As a result of diversity of workers in a worldwide environment, HR managers need to have broader perspective on all of the HR activities to guarantee equity of treatment for unique groups (Aswathappa and Dash, 2008). They also have to take care of the goals and vision set by the company. It is the obligation of an HR manager in IHRM department to be certain an executive posted in a foreign country understands all the facets of the damages package like cost of living, taxes and so forth.
To truly advance in your career, you should take control of your career development today. The management should be prepared to handle the consequences in the event the expatriot is underperforming. Human Resource management handles this aspect and forms the center of the organization. Strategic human resource management is just one of the most effective ways to satisfy your employees need and at the identical time promoting company targets.
To handle the issues, it’s important to get an ideal HR strategy to makes sure the complete variables are appropriately aligned to help organization to attain unthinkable heights. International strategy may not be consistent in a situation like this. In this instance, a worldwide strategy for the exact same product is tough to devise.
International marketing is the competency of an economy to advertise its product in practically every country. It must be able to adapt to the needs of consumers located in different countries. If your company is trying to create new software then they could decide to employ a business that specializes in software development and one which utilizes work flexibility to have the task done. In case the outsource provider employs job sharing as a portion of their mode of operation then you may have to clearly specify that you don’t want the project to be shared. Along with planning, the firm should attempt to locate a great match between the skills, the management style of the individual and the way business is conducted in the nation. With a suitable HR management system providers can create a productive work atmosphere. | 2019-04-26T11:55:00 | https://www.dooessay.com/international-hrm-17538 |
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – Saudi Arabia says it has arrested 88 men who are suspected of being part of an al-Qaida cell that was plotting attacks inside and outside of the kingdom.
The announcement Tuesday comes amid the advance of the Islamic State extremist group in Iraq and Syria, which has prompted Saudi Arabia to take harsher measures against sympathizers who could threaten the kingdom's stability.
Interior Ministry spokesman Mansour al-Turki says some of the men had previously served prison sentences for similar offenses.
He says that Saudi security forces monitored the group for months and learned about their plans. He said the arrests came over the past several days.
The police say that three of the men are Yemeni nationals, one is still being identified and the rest are Saudis. | 2019-04-20T10:36:32 | https://www.foxnews.com/world/saudi-arabia-says-it-arrests-88-men-suspected-of-being-in-al-qaida-cell-plotting-attacks |
The objective of this thesis is to examine whether companies that report discontinued operations manage their core earnings more than other companies. There is prior evidence suggesting that firms reporting discontinued operations seem to shift expenses from continuing operations to discontinued operations in the income statement to improve their core earnings (e.g. Barua et al. 2010). It seems plausible, however, that there might also be other ways to use discontinued operations reporting to manage core earnings such as timing disposals myopically and applying the classification requirements in the IFRS 5 standard selectively. Thus, I estimate the magnitude of earnings manipulation to improve the income from continuing operations using a method which detects different types of earnings management including classification shifting and real activities manipulation.
I study the magnitude of earnings management quantitatively, applying a methodology based on analyzing earnings distributions (e.g. Burgstahler and Dichev 1997). I collect data from the Worldscope database for 2,327 listed companies in 11 European countries and use standardized differences and centered asymmetry measures to find out if there is evidence of earnings management to meet key earnings benchmarks in the sample and whether there is a statistically significant difference in the quantity of earnings management between firms reporting discontinued operations and other firms.
I find evidence consistent with earnings management to avoid small losses both among DO reporting companies and other firms. The differences between the two groups are not statistically significant, though, suggesting that companies reporting discontinued operations do not manage their core earnings more than other companies. Robustness tests, however, indicate that this lack of statistically significant differences might also be caused by the larger average size of the companies reporting discontinued operations. | 2019-04-19T02:26:33 | https://aaltodoc.aalto.fi/handle/123456789/13709 |

Higher wages and lower seasonal home prices combined to push California’s housing affordability higher in the first quarter of 2018, compared to the previous quarter, the Arcadia Association of Realtors said today.
The percentage of home buyers who could afford to purchase a median-priced, existing single-family home in California in the first-quarter of 2018 edged up to 31 percent from 29 percent in the fourth quarter of 2017, but was down from 32 percent in the first quarter a year ago, according to the California Association of Realtors’ (C.A.R) Traditional Housing Affordability Index (HAI). This is the 20th consecutive quarter that the index has been below 40 percent. California’s housing affordability index hit a peak of 56 percent in the first quarter of 2012.
A minimum annual income of $111,500 was needed to qualify for the purchase of a $538,640 statewide median-priced, existing single-family home in the first quarter of 2018. The monthly payment, including taxes and insurance on a 30-year, fixed-rate loan, would be $2,790, assuming a 20 percent down payment and an effective composite interest rate of 4.44 percent. The effective composite interest rate in the fourth-quarter of 2017 was 4.17 percent and 4.36 percent in the first quarter of 2017.
Condominiums and townhomes also were more affordable in the first-quarter of 2018 compared to the previous quarter, with 39 percent of California households earning the minimum income to qualify for the purchase of a $449,720 median-priced condominium/townhome, up from 38 percent in the fourth quarter. An annual income of $93,090 was required to make monthly payments of $2,330. | 2019-04-23T04:18:12 | https://www.arcadiaweekly.com/business/real-estate/arcadia-association-of-realtors-strong-wages-and-steady-home-prices-buoy-california-housing-affordability/ |

If you ran out of space on your primary partition because you installed too many applications on it, there are two methods to relocate the applications to another drive without going thorough the usual uninstallation and reinstallation procedure.
The first program we will look into is SteamMover. Originally it was developed to help heavy gamers to re-arrange the space on their hard drive by moving their Steam directory to another drive. Moving a game from one disk to another, without re-installing it, and risk loosing any saved game data is quite a daunting task. SteamMover makes this easy.
The program works by moving installed applications and associated data to another drive and simply leaves a shortcut in the old location that points to the new location. Steam Mover works not only on games downloaded through the Steam client but with other applications, too.
To move a installed program simply choose the target programs folder in SteamMover’s window and the destination folder. The program will then display a list of any programs installed in that folder. All you have to do it to highlight the program to move, and then click on the move button. When it is done you will see the new location of your program listed under ‘Junction Point’. You can still access your programs from Windows start menu as usual.
To restore a programs location simply click the left arrow button and let SteamMover do the rest.
SteamMover requires Windows Vista or Windows 7. It will not work on Windows XP. Also it requires NTFS formatted drives and will not work with FAT32.
SteamMover is safe as it doesn’t tinker with the registry or try to re-write installation paths. All it does is leave shortcuts. Our second program, however, does both and hence I’ve called it the ‘adventurous method’.
The program Application Mover first moves files under 'Current Path' field to a new location specified by the 'New Path' in the program window. Application Mover than scans the registry for references to files located in the old location and changes those references to the new location. Application Mover also scans all windows shortcuts in the Start Menu and replaces the path references to the new program location. Finally, all .ini and Install.log files present in the original program path are checked for strings matching the old path location. If found, these strings are changed to the new location.
If you enable the 'Confirm changes' checkbox in the program window, you will get confirmation dialogs before each change is carried out. Files that are currently in use and cannot be moved are taken care of by rebooting the machine and moving them during the next boot.
The developers do not recommend moving highly complex programs such as Microsoft Office. Programs like MS Office install files in many different subdirectories and make hundreds (even thousands) of registry entries. Although they have said to successfully moved components of MS Office themselves, but it’s better if you not try this. Norton System Works is also asked to avoid.
Adobe Photoshop can be moved but make sure you have your license key and original installation media, in case something goes wrong. This is recommended not only while moving Photoshop but any important application.
SteamMover is safe but it leaves shortcuts in the program's previous location which you cannot remove. Doing so will make you unable to access those applications. Application Mover on the other hand does a complete relocation. No traces are left in the program’s original location. | 2019-04-22T06:03:29 | https://www.instantfundas.com/2010/09/2-ways-to-move-installed-applications.html |
← Learning about urban gardening at Rooting D.C.
Though the Riverdale, Md. operation is technically in the ‘burbs, Vinnie had brought a very applicable idea to present—creating a cold frame. This is basically a small-scale version of a greenhouse. It can keep conditions nice and comfy for your veggies into the late fall, or let you start your plants earlier in the spring, thus extending a growing season of six months to nine or 10.
You can make one of these with a used window, reclaimed two-by-eights and one-by-fours, used mountain bike tires, hinges, screws, and a latch. You’ll probably also need some handiness, and definitely access to power tools that go beyond my electric drill. But if you know what you’re doing and have a friend with a circular saw and such, Vinnie assured us, you can make one of these babies for under $20.
An alternative is to create a “low frame,” or mini hoop house. A member of Master Peace described how she had done that with some CPVC and copper piping, “elbows” to connect them, and heavy row cover.
I was delighted with both of the workshops I attended, and my fellow gardeners enjoyed their other workshops and discussions. They also got a whole bunch of free seeds for our ’09 garden season.
The coolest thing was this: These organizers were not just master gardeners and experienced farmers, but people who knew about the needs, desires, and challenges of the urban gardening set. They knew about gardening in containers and fighting the onslaught of a mild but veggie-killing winter, and even about rats loving your compost.
Like a microclimate, DC has its own tiny gardening system. This day was so focused on our little constellation of conditions, I wanted to find whoever was responsible and promise that person every perfect tomato of my next five growing seasons.

We tried one of those in my first house in DC! Our yard was not so conducive to gardening, so we didn’t manage to feed ourselves through the winter with it. But it was a fun project and maybe if we had gone to a workshop we would have been more successful…. | 2019-04-24T12:32:17 | https://youaredelicious.net/2009/03/01/make-your-own-fall/ |
Through an email on February 7 the music and podcast streaming platform announced to its users that the Terms and Conditions will be updated with the changes coming into effect on March 1. In instances where it has found a free user skipping ads, the company has historically sent out warnings to users and, if they continued to use ad-blockers, deactivated accounts until the blockers were removed. With that in mind, you can understand why the company's user guidelines now say that "circumventing or blocking advertisements in the Spotify Service, or creating or distributing tools designed to block advertisements in the Spotify Service" is not permitted. So, If you're invested in your Spotify account for whatever reason, now's probably a good time to remove or disable ad blockers functions that specifically target the service.
What do you think of Spotify's new terms of service? At last report, Spotify has about 95 million free subscribers as of the 1st quarter of 2018.
The firm has always been anti-ad blockers. Rather, cheating free users who get caught will simply immediately lose their account with no way to get it back.
In March, The Verge reported that 2 million users were dodging ads with certain blocking apps and accounts. A proportion of these free users turn to ad blockers, and this is something Spotify has been increasingly trying to clamp down on. | 2019-04-21T10:09:32 | http://booktour.tips/2019/02/spotify-warns-free-users-with-ad-blockers-will-be-banned/ |
Primary memory holds only those information and directions on which computer is presently working. We all need quick devices that may retailer giant quantities of information, and for this we need computer repair a quick CPU with a considerable amount of fast memory to help it. Nevertheless, there may be at all times a trilemma among velocity, dimension and value of the memory.
The introduction of the 1 KB Intel 1103 memory chip marks the beginning of the end for magnetic core memory and ushers within the period of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) built-in circuits for important reminiscence in computer systems.
This closet-sized magnetic core reminiscence unit (left), as tall as an adult, was made up of individual circuits (middle) containing tiny rings of magnetic materials (ferrite), generally known as cores (right), which may very well be magnetized or demagnetized to store or erase info.
Example applications of each forms of flash memory embrace personal computer systems, PDAs, digital audio players, digital cameras, mobile phones, synthesizers, video video games, scientific instrumentation, industrial robotics, medical electronics, and so on. In addition to being non-volatile, flash memory affords quick learn access times, as quick as dynamic RAM, although not as fast as static RAM or ROM.
Arti keduanya sama, yaitu lokasi spesifik dari sebuah information array pada modul Latency, atau juga sering disingkat dengan CL, adalah jumlah waktu yang dibutuhkan (dalam satuan clock cycle) selama delay waktu antara knowledge request dikirimkan ke memory controller untuk proses read, sampai reminiscence modul berhasil mengeluarkan information output.
The rationale why there are two is as a result of most motherboards these days have dual-channel memory capabilities, which means that as an alternative of accessing the memory slots one at a time, the computer can do that simultaneously so as to course of tasks sooner. | 2019-04-18T22:45:50 | http://arfasoftwaretechnologypark.com/improve-memory-ddr3-untuk-laptop-lama.html/ |

If I hadn’t logged into my Twitter account a few minutes ago, I never would have known it’s World Sleep Day today. Wow. I’ve gotta get with the times. Like a fool, I got up way before dawn without realizing the rest of the world is asleep. What’s a guy like me to do?
I guess there’s nothing I can do about it. You won’t be reading this today anyway. Unless today is actually the day after World Sleep Day…or week after…or whatever. Yeesh. I don’t know how to deal with this. It’s never come up for me before. Does this happen every year? Are you asleep right now and you don’t care?
Yes, my love…I do adore you.
Hear my heart…it’s beating for you.
But for now…fall fast asleep.
Leave the world and cares behind you.
I’ll make sure they cannot find you.
So for now…fall fast asleep.
Oh forget it. Nothin’s workin’. So, I’m gonna go ahead and stay awake for World Sleep Day. That’s OK, I’m not supposed to conform to the world anyway. And I’ll be a day ahead of my competition from now on. Bam!
