Question: After downgrading from Xcode 4.2 beta to Xcode SDK 4.02 I am facing new error messages: – “gcc-4.2: error trying to exec ‘/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin/arm-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1’: execvp: No such file or directory”, and – “Command /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 failed with exit code 255”. What’s is this for and what to do now? Answer: Check out your build configuration. The Architectures probably have an inherited $(ARCHS_…) value which can fire a build error: 1. Navigate to Build Settings in Xcode and check out values in the Architectures group. 2. Remove “VALID ARCH” entry from Architectures field to reset settings. Use $(ARCHS_STANDARD_32_BIT) , or armv6, armv7 values as you wish. $(ARCHS_STANDARD_32_BIT) should show armv6 armv7. 3. Repeat these steps at your dependent projects.
Building Strong School-to-School Partnerships: Part II Today we continue exploring how to build strong school-to-school partnerships. Heidi Steele, Chinese teacher at Gig Harbor and Peninsula High Schools in Gig Harbor, Washington, has established an ongoing partnership with Mudanjiang No. 1 High School in China and shares some of the lessons she has learned along the way, including ways to go beyond the travel exchange. Be sure to also see part 1. by guest blogger Heidi Steele As part of our school partnership, students participate in homestay exchanges. This family focus accentuates not only cultural similarities, but differences as well. These differences, while sometimes uncomfortable, provide a rich opportunity to learn about one another in real life rather than as an academic subject. One particularly pronounced example of a difference that causes ongoing tension arises when we plan itineraries. The Chinese families prefer to emphasize all-group activities. In their words, the students are happiest when they are all together. In contrast, the American families prefer more individual unstructured time, when each family arranges activities with their own exchange student. I also prefer to have significant amounts of unstructured family time because that is when the most language learning takes place. As we discussed the problem, we realized that the itineraries on both sides do not need to be mirror images of each other but can instead reflect their respective host cultures. We have concluded that the next time we run the program, the itinerary in the U.S. will include more individual family time, and the Chinese itinerary will include more group activities. One other difference that provides opportunities for ongoing discussions among students, parents, and teachers is parenting styles. Chinese parents report that before participating in the program, they believed that the American parenting style, with its focus on fostering independence, showed American parents don't truly love their children. After their own children stayed in American homes and reported back their experiences, however, the Chinese parents came to realize that although the American parenting style differs from the Chinese one, it is also an expression of love. Alternatively, when our students are in Chinese homes, they experience firsthand the "hands on" approach of many Chinese parents. This style feels claustrophobic to some of our students because they are not used to being micro-managed. As they witness the love between their Chinese student partners and their parents and share their observations with their American parents, however, the American students and parents both develop a deeper appreciation for the Chinese parenting approach. It's about Real Life The personal and family-focused nature of this exchange means that potentially sensitive issues are bound to come up for some students and their families on both sides of the partnership, and we often need to work through these situations both before and during the exchange. As an example, when we begin the process of selecting students, we typically need to reassure at least one or two anxious students that even though they have a "non-standard" family situation (their parents are divorced, they alternate between their parents' homes, they only have one parent, they have two moms or two dads, and so on) they are still very welcome to participate in the program. We make sure that these students are matched with accepting host families, and we share as much information as is necessary in advance to ensure that there will be no surprises and ensuing discomfort when the exchange takes place. Incidences related to romantic relationships and/or exploring sexual preference are also inevitable when running an exchange program for teenagers. If students have not felt the freedom to express themselves within their own families and communities, they may instinctively take the opportunity afforded by being on the other side of the world to experiment with things that are not sanctioned at home. One cultural dynamic that comes into play here is that Chinese teenagers are typically encouraged to push all interest in romantic relationships aside until after high school. At the same time, images of American teenage life in mass media give them the impression that American students are intensely focused on romance and have few limits placed on their behavior. This combination of factors means that Chinese students may, whether consciously or unconsciously, tend to see the exchange program as a chance to explore the world of boyfriends and girlfriends. On the other side, American students don't necessarily comprehend the intense pressure Chinese students are under to perform well academically, and this lack of awareness can cause them to get involved in seemingly innocuous flirting behavior that in fact has severe negative implications for Chinese students. Although you can "inoculate" students from getting involved in romance by using signed international travel agreements and a variety of other strategies, these kinds of issues will still likely arise from time to time. When they do, open and clear communication with your Chinese colleagues can help you intervene early and de-escalate situations with tact and a minimum of drama. The Impact of the Partnership: Everyone Benefits The partnership we have with Mudanjiang No. 1 High School benefits all of my students, including those who do not participate in the summer exchange. For all Chinese language students, the connection to a partner school gives them a sense of the immediate usefulness of Chinese—they can use what they're learning to communicate with their peers in China. Classroom learning becomes authentic when I share stories, anecdotes, photographs, new slang terms and cultural trends, and so on, which have arisen from the summer exchange. Students who have participated in the program share their experiences with the other students throughout the school year and in a variety of ways. Furthermore, I continually revise the language and cultural content I teach based on observing what language elements my students need to communicate effectively while in China. As we move forward, we want to design more collaborative activities that the Mudanjiang students can realistically participate in during the school year given their demanding schedules. We have collaborated in a variety of ways in the past, including an online book club, Skype sessions, a student blog, and student-created videos that introduce slang terms to their peers in the partner school. However, many activities that sound good on paper are not feasible when you look at the detailed picture, including schedules, time differences, and so on. Given these types of challenges, it takes creative brainstorming to come up with ideas that are both meaningful and workable. Nonetheless, with a foundation of trust and a commitment to a long-term relationship, I expect that the connections between our schools will continue to develop in new ways for many years to come.

Here is code to perform 2D Frouier transforms on jepg files. fft.c is a C program to perform the Fast Fourier Transform. ft.c is a multi threaded 2D FFT considerably adapted from this. The following shell commands build and demonstrate the code on the Mac (and some Linuxes). You will need h.h. javac cim.java gcc fft.c -O3 -c -Wmost gcc ft.c -O3 -Wmost -c -fnested-functions java j2b th.jpg out.bma java b2j out.bma out.jpg gcc man.c fft.o ft.o -O3 -o trans -Wmost ./trans nop out.bma outt.bma 8 java b2j outt.bma outt.jpg open outt.jpgThe trans command reads and writes a file with a name ending in “.bma” in these demos. Such files hold raw 24 bit RGB pixel values preceded by image dimensions. In general the command: ./trans op in.bma oqut.bma rtransforms the input image to frequency space, calls the one of the functions, in the file man.c, and transforms back to image space and writes the output file. The parameter r is a floating point value used by most of the variations and is in units of pixels. The high level mechanics of this process can be learned by examining which files are created by each command. The file out.bma is produced to show that we can translate to and from the raw byte format with minimal damage. open out.jpg to see it. To undo build and run files: rm outt* trans .o .class out.bma The three 2D arrays cr, cg, cb are also byte per pixel arrays with as many elements and indexed the same as the complex array. They hold the segregated color components of the entire image. The gross information flow is: file to 3 byte arrays; to complex array a; to in-place transform of a; to one of the special routines in man.c; again to transform of a; to 3 byte arrays (scaled to peak value in a); to file. The code has been arranged to facilitate modifications such as averaging the input colors to produce a gray scale image, doing one transformation, and then using color to portray the vital convex numbers of the results of one transform. Nested routine dc is executed once for each of the 3 primary colors. It moves the data from one of the one byte arrays into array a and does the transforms, and then back into the one byte arrays. Routine pp(i, j) reports the value of a[i, j] for debugging and understanding. It has no side internal effects. d2Dft() causes the complex array to be transformed in place. Routine fp(th, comment) scans the entire complex array and reports subscripts and values of components within th of the maximum magnitude. (“th” is a floating point real.) It returns the linear index of the max element. The if(1) on the line with comment “Choice of two demos” selects the first piece of code which performs two 2D transforms calling routine manip between these two transforms. manip is supplied separately in another file such as mana.c which in this case replaces each complex number with its complex conjugate and that prevents the yield from being inverted. Many interesting experiments can be done by variations on routine manip. If the 2nd demo is chosen (if(0)) the three colors are averaged for each input pixel and one transform is performed. Constant brightness color is used to code the complex number.

By Dr. Whitney R. Carlson, D.C. Many people in modern society are not living at their full health potential. As our society becomes more sedentary, eating processed foods, and maintaining poor posture habits our health is dwindling day by day. According to the US Public Service, in 1900 there were 64 deaths per 100,000 due to cancer; yet, by 2000 there were 200.5 deaths per 100,000! There are five pillars to achieving your God-given health potential that all need to be maintained equally.
Vitezslav Kremlik, who runs the Czech Republic blog, www.klimaskeptik.cz showcases the compelling evidence that proves that global seismic readings over the last 110 years show the opposite of what doomsaying cranks are claiming. Professor Bill McGuire of the University College London (UCL) is one of many junk scientists who will be hiding under a rock on the publication of this compelling data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The USGS presents compelling evidence that not only is there no link between man-made global warming and earthquakes, but that the annual rate of magnitude 6.0 or above quakes is decreasing as per the above graph. McGuire, who published,“Potential for a hazardous geospheric response to projected future climate changes ” (2009) attracted the attention of Reuters , one of the key doomsaying ‚news‘ agencies selling the anti-science propaganda that humans are in some way responsible for any and all natural disasters. The UCL professor even organised a conference to further hype his hoax saying: “When the ice is lost, the earth's crust bounces back up again and that triggers earthquakes, which trigger submarine landslides, which cause tsunamis.” Perhaps someone should ask who is paying McGuire to put out this ****. Read more here: A proof earthquakes are NOT caused by global warming As junk scientists rush to claim a link between the Japan earthquake and man-made global warming the US Geological Survey refutes those claims.
Rowing The Atlantic Solo Without Leaving The Commonwealth To cross the Atlantic Ocean, alone and unsupported from West Africa to South America in a 7.3 metre rowing boat. Leaving Freetown, Sierra Leone and finishing in Georgetown, Guyana; with the sole aim of raising awareness of the Commonwealth- the planet’s most diverse family, with the potential to change 2.4 billion lives for the better. It’s amazing what can be achieved when people come together- just imagine 2.4 billion of us! Please Donate And Help The Row’s Amazing Charities. 'More people have been into space than rowed the Atlantic Ocean..... ...even less have rowed it solo' It’s not about governments or politics but people – 2.4bn of the most richly diverse group of people on planet earth; all coming together to make all wealth, including that of education, health, environmental security and opportunity no matter where you’re from or what you gender, that little bit more common amongst each other. As a former Royal Marines Commando, I’ve been able to experience the Commonwealth at its worst but also at its very best – its people coming together in order to help each other. During 2000, I was sent to Sierra Leone twice as part of an effort to stabilise the country, then stuck in the depths of brutal war. During that time, a local man from Freetown told me that, in his gut, he knew we would eventually come and help, explaining, Sierra Leoneans wouldn’t be forgotten. His personal belief, that his nation’s bonds with others in a wider Commonwealth would eventually bring help, was what got him and others through the most horrific of days. Since 2000, Sierra Leone has sadly been struck both by Ebola and devastating natural disaster, but on both occasions, just like in 2000, people from across the Commonwealth came to help. Now, Sierra Leone is once again a vibrant and thriving nation. Sadly, in the majority of our lives, it’s not only the importance of the Commonwealth that is waining, but even the knowledge of its very existence. The Commonwealth isn’t about governments, but its people – the most diverse group of people on planet earth that total around one third of its population. To raise awareness and improve knowledge, heighten cultural understanding and strengthen bonds, could, just maybe, draw together at least some of us 2.4 billion, producing many more helping hands and a greater, far more common-wealth. The Commonwealth has observed more than 140 elections in nearly 40 countries since 1980.Commonwealth Democracy Half of the top 20 global emerging cities are in the Commonwealth: New Delhi, Mumbai, Nairobi, Kuala Lumpur, Bangalore, Johannesburg, Kolkata, Cape Town, Chennai and Dhaka.Top Global Emerging Cities The Commonwealth Is Made Up Of 53 Member Nations across Africa (19 countries), Asia (7), the Caribbean and Americas (13), Europe (3), and the Pacific (11).Commonwealth Countries Over 60% Of The Commonwealth Is Under The Age Of 30Commonwealth Age The Commonwealth Has A Population Of Around 2.4 Billion.Commonwealth Population

When a polychromatic beam of light is shined upon a translucent planar material etched with a periodic pattern known as a diffraction grating, the different colors of the beam of light propagate in different directions. Such a diffraction grating can be used as a monochromator of light or as a spectrometer, as schematically illustrated in Fig. 8.1. The physics of a diffraction grating can be understood by a simple interference argument: we suppose that light of wavelength λ is normally incident upon a thin opaque screen containing a large number of periodically arranged narrow apertures (slits) separated by a distance Δ. Because the light is normally incident upon the grating, the phase of the field is the same within each aperture. Each aperture produces a spherical wave, and we consider the overlap of the fields from two such elements in a direction θ from the normal to the surface; this is illustrated in Fig. 8.2. As can be seen from the picture, the wave emanating from aperture 2 has to travel a distance Δsin θ farther than the wave emanating from aperture 1. This translates to a phase difference between the two waves of kΔsin θ, where k = 2π/λ is the wavenumber of the light. It is obvious that the Cartesian coordinate system which we have been using up to this point is ideally suited for those situations in which one is trying to solve problems with a rectangular, or “box”-type geometry. Determining the electric potential inside of a cube, for instance, would be an ideal problem to use Cartesian coordinates, for one can choose coordinates such that faces of the cube each correspond to a coordinate being constant. However, it is also clear that there exist problems in which Cartesian coordinates are poorly suited. Two such situations are illustrated in Fig. 3.1. A monochromatic laser beam has a preferred direction of propagation z, but is often rotationally symmetric about this axis. Instead of using (x, y) to describe the transverse characteristics of the beam, it is natural to instead use polar coordinates (ρ,ϕ), which indicate the distance from the axis and the angle with respect to the x-axis, respectively. A point in three-dimensional space can be represented in such cylindrical coordinates by (ρ,ϕ,z). In the scattering of light from a localized scattering object, the field behaves far from the scatterer as a distorted spherical wave whose amplitude decays as 1/r, r being the distance from the origin of the scatterer. High precision interferometers typically employ reflecting surfaces to interfere an optical beam with itself multiple times. One of the earliest of these, developed by Charles Fabry and Alfred Perot, is also one of the most persistently useful and versatile interferometeric devices. First introduced in 1897 as a technique for measuring the optical thickness of a slab or air or glass [FP97], the device found its most successful application only two years later as a spectroscopic device [FP99]. In its simplest incarnation, the interferometer is a pair of parallel, partially reflecting and negligibly thin mirrors separated by a distance d; it is illustrated in Fig. 7.1. A plane wave incident from the left will be partially transmitted through the device, and partially reflected; the amount of light transmitted depends in a nontrivial way upon the properties of the interferometer, namely the mirror separation d, the mirror reflectivity r and transmissivity t, and the wavenumber k of the incident light. In this section we will study the transmission properties of the interferometer and show that a solution to the problem requires the summation of an infinite series. The most natural way to analyze the effects of the Fabry–Perot is to follow the possible paths of the plane wave through the system and track all of its possible behaviors. We begin with a monochromatic plane wave incident from the left of the form U(z, t) = Aexp[ikz – iωt]. The first textbook on mathematical methods focusing on techniques for optical science and engineering, this text is ideal for upper division undergraduate and graduate students in optical physics. Containing detailed sections on the basic theory, the textbook places strong emphasis on connecting the abstract mathematical concepts to the optical systems to which they are applied. It covers many topics which usually only appear in more specialized books, such as Zernike polynomials, wavelet and fractional Fourier transforms, vector spherical harmonics, the z-transform, and the angular spectrum representation. Most chapters end by showing how the techniques covered can be used to solve an optical problem. Essay problems based on research publications and numerous exercises help to further strengthen the connection between the theory and its applications. Why another textbook on Mathematical Methods for Scientists? Certainly there are quite a few good, indeed classic texts on the subject. What can another text add that these others have not already done? I began to ponder these questions, and my answers to them, over the past several years while teaching a graduate course on Mathematical Methods for Physics and Optical Science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Although every student has his or her own difficulties in learning mathematical techniques, a few problems amongst the students have remained common and constant. The foremost among these is the “wall” between the mathematics the students learn in math class and the applications they study in other classes. The Fourier transform learned in math class is internally treated differently than the Fourier transform used in, say, Fraunhofer diffraction. The end result is that the student effectively learns the same topic twice, and is unable to use the intuition learned in a physics class to help aid in mathematical understanding, or to use the techniques learned in math class to formulate and solve physical problems. To try and correct for this, I began to devote special lectures to the consequences of the math the students were studying. Lectures on complex analysis would be followed by discussions of the analytic properties of wavefields and the Kramers–Kronig relations. Lectures on infinite series could be highlighted by the discussion of the Fabry–Perot interferometer.

Are you somehow skeptical about homeschooling your child? Though concerns are buzzing around about the effectiveness of homeschooling, it might be something you can consider. Surprisingly, homeschooling has significant benefits for your child that may also affect your family’s well-being. According to Rick Nauert PhD, “New research suggests that children who are taught at home get more sleep than those who go to private and public schools.” Not everyone is a fan of this teaching method for whatever reason. For those who are thinking about enrolling their children to a home-based schooling program and are still outweighing the advantages from the disadvantages, here are some of the unsung benefits of homeschooling that can help you in making up your mind: Of all the benefits of homeschooling, safety is a primary factor. Schools these days are swarming with bullies and aggressive kids who sometimes carry prohibited weapons for some twisted logic. According to data presented by the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES), in 2015 alone, there are about 21% of students between the ages of 12 to 18 who are victims of bullying, and females are more targeted than males. Threats to safety cause children to become very anxious about their schoolmates which can also directly affect their performance and interfere with the process of learning. For Dona Matthews Ph.D., “When homeschooling, you can provide your child with a supportive learning environment at home, where there is no bullying, racism, violence, or other psychological abuse.” To safeguard children from these types of threats at school, some parents resulted in applying for an online educational platform that has the same curriculum as that of regular classes. Minimal Exposure to Restricted Substances Sometimes, no matter how overprotective parents are, they are still in the dark whether their kids are exposed to drugs and alcohol. Kids, especially teenagers, are the primary victims of drug abuse; these are less likely to be found in homes. However, students have higher chances of getting in contact with these restricted substances within the vicinity of school grounds. Catering to Kids with Special Needs If your children have mental and physical disabilities, chances are, they will have a hard time following through with regular class sessions; plus, they are subjected to mockery, humiliation, and bullying by other kids at school. Typical schools will always have a mix of good and evil; you cannot expect everyone to be as understanding and accepting when it comes to children with special needs. Homeschooling protects your kids from traumatic emotional attacks that they will be exposed to once enrolled. Enhances Family Bonding Guiding and supporting your children’s schooling needs at home strengthens the parent-child bond. Kids usually thrive and strive to gain their parents’ attention and approval; this builds their self-confidence and self-esteem. Aside from that, parents will learn more about the way their kids think and react to specific subjects taught at home or online. Parents can also participate in promoting positive behavior to their children that they usually cannot do if they send them to a regular school. Eliminates Peer Pressure Friends or even schoolmates have a massive impact on how children think and act. According to data presented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2015, there were more than 220,000 newborns that were from women who are between 15 to 19 years old. Though this data is said to be a record low, it does not assure parents that their children will not be victims of peer pressure. Homeschooling can prevent this kind of phenomenon from happening since parents are often around to look after their kids. Homeschooling your kids does not necessarily mean that you are curtailing their freedom. There are just certain situations that would require the need for children stay inside the house. Besides, there are a lot of studies that show many homeschooled children outperform those who went to regular schools during standardized exams.“Of course every situation is different: the child, the public and private school options, and your ability and motivation to home-school,” said Marty Nemko Ph.D.
Unit 4 Lesson 4: The Battle of Britain: A Document Analysis The Battle of Britain was a key turning point in the early part of the Second World War. If Britain failed to hold, Nazi Germany would have controlled all of Europe and there would be not have been a safe place for the Allied armies to launch their offensive on Western Europe in 1944.

For more information about the European Federation for Intercultural Learning visit our webpage http://efil.afs.org. By Charlotte Klinting, EFIL’s representative to the Advisory Council on Youth and member of the EFIL Pool or Representatives In the spring of 2015 I stood for elections on behalf of EFIL to be given a mandate to the Advisory Council on Youth to the Council of Europe, or “AC”. Not until almost a year later did the task actually commence, first with an induction training and then our first statutory meeting in March 2016. I won’t deny that I had only a small idea of what the work entailed. This is a small update on how the first six months have gone. What is it and how do we fit in? “Advisory Council on Youth to the Council of Europe” – the full name is a bit of a mouthful, but it is quite straightforward. The AC is a group of 30 young people representing National Youth Councils, International youth NGOs and other civil society organisations, who have a mandate to advise the Council of Europe on a variety of policies and activities. Essentially making sure that young people are included and prioritised at all levels. Simple, right? This is done by being present in platforms, working groups, events, and contributing to policy documents and debates. Our government counterparts is a council of representatives from youth departments of Council of Europe’s Member states, and when they come together with the AC, we form the “Joint Council on Youth”, where both sides have equal say, according to the principle of “co-management”. The AC works along three priorities: 1 – democracy, human rights and participation; 2- autonomy of young people and access to rights, and 3- building inclusive and peaceful societies. And, naturally, EFIL’s niche fits neatly within the 3rd priority, where topics such as countering extremism; No Hate Speech Movement; and Roma Youth Action plan sit, among others. Therefore, when it came to dividing areas of responsibility, I did my best to make sure we were represented there, and was given the portfolios of Intercultural and Interfaith Dialogue, and as an addition, I am the point person on the cooperation between the CoE and the EU through the Youth Partnership. What are we doing? The first meetings of this AC were dominated by finding our feet, holding elections, sharing out responsibilities and deciding on how to work together. So what has happened since we actually began working? The two key events for me under the heading of Intercultural Learning were the Youth Peace Camp and the Refugee Seminar, taking place simultaneously in Strasbourg on 10-18 July July. The Youth Peace Camp brings together young people from conflict affected regions, aiming to engage them in dialogue and relies on conflict transformation activities based on human rights education and Intercultural Learning. With any of the groups attending, both sides of a conflict would be represented, and central to this camp was the follow-up activities that the participants planned within their regions, across two sides of a conflict. This year the Camp involved participants from the South Caucasus region, the Russian Federation, Ukraine (Luhansk, Donetsk and border regions), as well as from Kosovo. When I was invited, I emphasised that I was not going to do this “politician style” and arrive just in time for the closing, give a generic speech and take off. Instead, I asked to join the final days of the programme to get to know the group a bit better and understand the journey they went through. The vibe of the event was incredibly inspiring, and I am now trying to keep on top of what they are doing with their follow-up activities, hoping it will give them some motivation to know they can ask for support. This event was incredibly relevant and important, not only to the people attending, but for the intended multiplier effect in their regions The camp coincided with the seminar on social inclusion of refugee students in Europe, allowing me to attend both. And this brought a whole new dimension to the word “inspiration”. As a way for the Council of Europe’s youth department to contribute to the topic of refugees, the seminar brought together a few organisations working on refugees and diaspora, as well as refugee students who have come to Europe within the last few years. The goal was to identify ways to advocate for their rights and support their social integration through youth work and youth policy projects based on participation and citizenship. The main outcome was a document with their own recommendations and principles, representing wishes for their life in Europe. This is going to be a key resource for the AC, as we are going to have a thematic debate in October on this topic within the Joint Council on Youth. Other activities for me have included the meeting of the Steering Group of the European Platform for Learning Mobility and a preparatory meeting for a seminar focusing on cross-sector youth policy in the Western Balkans. The next statutory meeting of the AC and Joint Council is taking place on the 17-19th of October. A few reflections It can sometimes be difficult to see how it makes a difference to attend meetings and give speeches, but luckily there is a lot of energy in the work of the AC and the groups we work with. I do believe it is important that we are present and repeat the same messages until inclusion of youth becomes mainstream and is talked with and not about. However, the issues facing young people won’t be solved quickly, and yet, it seems we are expected to produce results within a very short amount of time. One issue with the AC is that a two-year mandate is far too short. Elections for the next mandate are half-way through the current one, which means we have barely started before we must try to be re-elected. One thing is sure, though: EFIL definitely has a role to play in this platform and so far, it has been a busy mandate! For more information: email@example.com
Interest fees are the price financial institutions charge to use cashour company acquire. The riskier the finance, the greater the rate of interest. That’ s why different forms of finances have incredibly various rates. - The Bank of Canada throughthe night price (the cost financial institutions are credited acquire) is normally the lowest fee. - Because home loans are safeguarded by your house, they are actually fairly low danger withfees currently around 3-5% for the ” best ” qualified consumers, depending upon the term. - Secured individual fundings and lines of credit will typically cost about 6% to 10%. - Unsecured finances and also personal lines of credit will certainly set you back coming from 7% to 12% at a banking company. - Credit memory cards demand enthusiasm in a range of 10% to 29.99% - Overdraft fees at most major banks operate 21%. - Finance provider lendings range from 21.99% to 31.99% plus admin expenses and also fees. - Quick money installation fundings advertise 6% to 59.99% - As of January 2018 link lender in Ontario are actually restricted to $15 for every single $one hundred over a pair of week period.

However payday fundings are excused from Canada’ s usury legislations. In 2007, Segment 347.1 was included in the Criminal Code that exempted cashadvance from Part 347. Instead authority to manage payday advance was actually assigned to the provinces. Ontario Optimum CashAdvance Prices In Ontario the Payday Advance Loan Action was come on 2008 and also brought right into force on December 15, 2009. Since 2018, the Act restricts the amount an individual might be charged to $15 every $100 acquired for a pair of week period. That brings in the basic yearly rate of interest equal to 390%. Here’ s just how cashadvance interest functions: You acquire $100 for a time frame of 2 full weeks and pay $15 in fees (under Ontario rule). Assuming you restore that loan eachweek &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;ndash;- you may’ t by legislation however our team will definitely therefore our experts can easily calculate the true rate of interest &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;ndash;- you only obtain $100 for the whole entire year since you repay the aged finance along withthe brand-new car loan.

However, payday advance loan costs put on’ t automatically max on the market. The regulation mentions that the $15 is actually comprehensive of admin charges, but excluding nonpayment charges If you back-pedal a payday advance loan they might demand you extra costs that press the annualized interest rate also higher! Payday Loans Certainly Not A Small Car Loan Anymore A payday advance loan is defined as a short term finance for a small total of cashin exchange for a post-dated cheque, pre-authorized debit or potential remittance of a comparable attribute. At that time the adjustments were actually executed in 2009, the federal government assumed the normal financing was actually for about $300 as well as repaid in pair of full weeks or even less. The problem is actually, somebody experiencing monetary troubles will definitely often remove considerably bigger financings. Based upon a researchstudy of our insolvency clients as well as their use of payday loans, the normal car loan dimension was actually $1,311 in 2018. The typical individual utilizing cashadvance to survive likewise often tend to go to greater than one payday financial institution. The result being actually that our typical customer is obligated to repay nearly $5,200 on 3.9 exceptional payday loans Using the maximum allowable costs (thinking no nonpayments) the rate of interest charges for 2 weeks would run $780. That’ s just before any kind of payment of the true lendings. If the lendings were to stay outstanding a complete year the interest costs would certainly tot $20,280! Oh, and they’d still owe the $5,200 they obtained.

Women have a major influence on the overall health of all the members in a family. This is true whether the woman works inside or outside the home. In most households, women are the key decision makers when it comes to planning meals. They are usually the ones preparing food at home and planning grocery shopping lists. In general, women also tend to be more health conscious and care for other family members. Mothers can help get their children off to a healthy start by teaching healthy food and fitness habits at a very young age. Providing health and fitness tips to women helps the entire family. A preventive strategy can help delay or reduce long term medical expenses associated with chronic illnesses like diabetes and heart disease. Most homes have a television, computer, or video game system which promotes a sedentary lifestyle. A healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management are crucial for heart disease prevention. Getting regular exercise has become an organized activity even for children. A busy lifestyle also means that we need to plan and schedule time for daily exercise whether it is walking, yoga, jogging, or weight training at the gym. Yes, weight training does not always mean big muscles; this is a common concern among women. Weight training helps tone the body, strengthens bones and boosts metabolism. Free fitness tips and instructional videos on weight training and yoga are available online to help educate the public. Online fitness trackers can calculate the calories you burn with different physical activities, a helpful tool if you are on a weight loss program.

Nutrition and diet are among the most popularly searched for topics on the internet. Use common sense and good judgment, check your online sources of information. Follow diet tips for weight loss offered by qualified professionals like registered dietitians and doctors. Beware of miraculous weight loss potions, pills and powders; remember that it takes time to gain weight and even more to lose it.
The main weather stories in Terrace, BC for January 2019: - Higher than average temperature - Higher than average precipitation - Lots of rain (at least for January) January temperature was the 8th warmest on record, averaging +0.3°C, which is 4.0°C warmer than the 1971-2000 baseline climate. Most of the month had temperatures well above average with only a couple days near the beginning of the month that had temperatures near average (Fig. 1). Figure 1: Daily average temperature for January 2019 in Terrace, BC (red line). The black line shows the 1971-2000 average. The two gray lines show plus/minus one standard deviation. Precipitation in January was the 31st most on record, totaling 195mm, which was 20mm more than the 1971-2000 average. This provided a brief respite from the longer-term drought in northwest BC, but much of this precipitation (105mm, 54%) fell as rain. The cumulative values show this (Fig. 2), with total rain in 2019 (dark blue, dotted) above the 1971-2000 normal (dark blue, solid), whereas total snow in 2019 (light blue, dotted) is below normal (light blue, solid). This isn’t unheard of in January, but certainly not the norm. While high elevations mostly received snow – helping to build the winter snowpack – liquid precipitation at lower elevations isn’t available during the spring melt to come. This also made for some wet ski days at Shames Mountain! Figure 2: Cumulative precipitation – where total precipitation (green), rain (dark blue), and rain (light blue) are added throughout the year. Solid lines show the 1971-2000 average. Dotted lines show the 2019 totals to date. Terrace, BC Weather Forecast (Environment Canada), All data presented in this post is freely available here. The weather in Terrace, BC for 2018 can be summed up in a few primary stories: - A winter story: Higher than average snowfall at low elevations. - A temperature story: Warmer than average, and with the 3rd warmest summer on record. - A summer/fall drought story: Record-setting dry conditions from July through October. But first, some annual averages and totals for 2018: - 2018 was the 25th warmest year on record, averaging 7.1°C, which is 0.7°C warmer than the 1971-2000 baseline climate. - 2018 was the 7th driest year on record, with a total of 934mm of precipitation, which is 439mm below the 1971-2000 average, or 68% of normal. While these annual values tell part of the story of 2018 weather, they mask some of the truly weird weather that we experienced in 2018. Figure 1 shows average monthly temperature for 2018 (blue dots) in comparison with all years on record. February was quite a bit colder than average, July and August were much warmer than average. Figure 1: 2018 average monthly temperature for Terrace, BC. The dotted blue curve is 2018, the 10 red lines are the ten warmest years on record, every other year is in gray. The black line is the long-term average, and the error bars mark plus/minus one standard deviation. A Winter Story: Conditions in Terrace, BC during the winter of 2018 were noteworthy in that we had a large early snowfall in November (2017) followed by colder than average temperatures and more snow through February, leading to snow persisting through the winter at lower elevations. It was the 31st coldest winter (Dec. – Feb.) on record, with temperatures 1°C below the 1971-2000 average. Even with this cold, and the persistent snow on the ground, it was the 15th driest Dec. – Feb. on record with total precipitation 190mm less than average. This significantly lower than average precipitation (61% of normal) meant that while we had lots of snow at low elevations, the mountain snowpack was unremarkable. Looking at total snowfall for the months Nov. – Mar. reveals that it was the 19th snowiest winter on record in Terrace. Some noteworthy winter statistics: - 13th coldest February (-5.2°C), 3.9°C colder than average. - 19th snowiest winter (Nov. – Mar.): - 384cm of snow - 105cm more than average - Well below the record winter of 655cm (1972). A Temperature Story: The main temperature stories for 2018 were the much warmer than normal months of July and August, and a record setting temperature for a day in June. While the year was only the 25th warmest on record, we had the 3rd warmest summer (Jun. – Aug.). Average summer temperature was 17.2°C, 1.7°C warmer than average. The month of June was nearly identical to the average, but we then had the 4th warmest July followed by the 3rd warmest August (Figure 1). Additional seasonal temperature statistics for 2018: - 31st coldest winter, 1°C below average - 49th warmest spring, 0.2°C above average - 3rd warmest summer, 1.7°C above average - 29th warmest fall, 0.7°C above average Just like the annual average temperature masks seasonal and monthly variability, seasonal and monthly averages hide the day-to-day extremes experienced during the year. Figure two shows the average daily temperatures for the year. Figure 2: Daily average temperature for 2018 in Terrace, BC (red line). The black line shows the 1971-2000 average. The two gray lines show plus/minus one standard deviation. Changing temperature between the two gray lines (plus/minus one standard deviation) can be considered average variability. When temperatures go below or above these two lines we’re starting to see conditions that are more out of the ordinary. There were a few such events in 2018. The colder than average February (roughly between Julian day 30 and 60) stands out pretty clearly, with two peak cold days: -13.4°C on February 10th, and -11.8°C on February 19th. Getting cold days like this isn’t out of the ordinary, and in fact we usually get more such days and the minimum temperature in a given year is usually colder. Only two years had the lowest winter temperatures higher than the -13.4°C recorded in 2018. Or, in other words, 28 out of the 30 years during the climate baseline period (1971-2000) had temperatures colder than our coldest temperature in 2018. Translation: It didn’t get that cold in 2018. The peak temperature on May 18th of 18.4°C (day 138) wasn’t a record setting temperature for the month of May, but certainly was much higher than the average and within a few degrees of the all-time high for the month of May. The two times of highest average daily temperature occurred on June 19th (25.3°C) and on July 30th (25.1°C). Only two years during the 1971-2000 baseline climate period had an average daily temperature above 25.3°C. June 19th, 2018 set an all-time record for temperature in June with a high temperature of 34.2°C and an average daily temperature of 25.3°C. The peak summer temperatures of 2018 were well above normal. A Summer/Fall Drought Story: The final, and most important weather story of 2018 was the July through October drought. It was the driest Jul. – Oct. on record with a total of 150mm of precipitation (37% of normal), and the driest Jul. – Sep. on record with a total of 56mm of precipitation (26% of normal). None of the individual months were record setting, but taken together they are the driest four-month period on record in Terrace. - 9th lowest July precipitation - 5th lowest August precipitation - 4th lowest September precipitation - 9th lowest October precipitation Figure 3: 1913-2018 total precipitation for the months July – August. The long-term average is in black and dashed. There are two years of missing data (1914 and 1953). The impacts of the 2018 drought will likely linger, unless the region receives well above normal snowfall and a cool/wet summer in 2019. Watch for analysis for January and February 2019 coming to GlacierChange.org soon, followed by updates at the end of each month.

Have you ever wondered if the weather yesterday, last week, or this past month was “normal”? Starting in the coming days, “Is This Weather Normal?” will become a regular blog topic at GlacierChange.org. This series of posts will focus on the weather of Terrace – a town of some 12,000 in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia. I teach an introductory weather and climate course at Coast Mountain College, and in addition to doing weekly weather forecasts with my class, we’ve also begun looking at our weather in a longer term context. The motivation for bringing these short overviews on the “normality” (or abnormality as the case may be) of our weather, is to provide some quantitative context, some verifiable reference points for what we experience on a daily basis. Our perception of weather is colored by personal preferences of what constitutes “nice”. And often it has become that “nice” is completely abnormal, and sometimes even threatening to the ecological norms of a region (see here for example). “Sure glad this is all falling as rain. You don’t have to shovel rain!” is a common mid-winter saying during an abnormally warm winter spell. “This fall weather has been incredible! The salmon probably aren’t doing too well though, eh?” was a common refrain in the summer/fall of 2018 here in northwest BC. Our qualified opinions of the weather has us far removed from what “normal” actually is. My hope is that these posts will help provide some rational footing with respect to our daily experience of the vagaries of our atmosphere – at least in western British Columbia. Watch for the first such post – an overview of 2018 weather – in the coming days, followed by an update each month for 2019. This photo pair shows the Gilkey Glacier (main glacier in the valley) in southeast Alaska. It’s hard to get a sense of the enormity of this scene. The distance from the photo location to where the glacier curves around the corner to the left is ~10 km. The amount of thinning of the glacier surface is on the order of 200-300 m. Gilkey Glacier is one of the largest outlet glaciers of the Juneau Icefield. It is banded by numerous medial moraines and is a world-famous example of ogives (the arcs of alternating lighter and darker ice), which form at the base ice falls. It is named for Arthur Gilkey – mountaineer and early leader of the Juneau Icefield Research Program. By Matt Beedle The longest continuous record of annual length change for a North America glacier now stands at 55 years (1959-2013). In 2013 Castle Creek Glacier retreated 26.3 meters, the fifth largest annual measurement since 1959. Total 1959-2013 retreat now stands at 803 m, with an average annual rate of 14.6 m. Annual length change of Castle Creek Glacier in meters (top), and cumulative length change in meters (bottom). Both plots include data from 1959 to 2013. A full discussion of the methods used to derive this data set can be found here. Glacier retreat over decades can be dramatic. For instance, Castle has lost nearly 2 km2 of surface area since 1952, most of it near the terminus. Repeat photography of glaciers typically uses pairs of images separated by multiple decades, revealing this stunning multi-decade change. Two aerial photographs of the terminus area of Castle Creek Glacier. The 1952 image is from the National Air Photo Library, Natural Resources Canada. The 2011 image includes the near infrared band – vegetation appears red. In my numerous trips to Castle Creek Glacier over the past six years I’ve been no less moved by the annual changes of a much smaller magnitude, however. The change we see around us is always in relation to scale, proximity and familiarity. Denny Straussfogel traverses Castle Creek Glacier. Teresa Brewis surveys the terminus of Castle Creek Glacier. Rob Vogt surveys the west lateral margin of Castle Creek Glacier. One of my annual tasks at Castle Creek Glacier has been to walk the terminus of Castle Creek Glacier with a high-precision GPS on my pack, mapping the glacier margin and measuring annual change. This annual walk – often times more of a scramble – reveals a great deal. The revelation is in terms of quantifiable glacier retreat, but also a more subjective experience of glacier landscapes and glacier change. John Muir – reflecting on a brief exploration of the terminus area of Baird Glacier, Alaska in 1879 – captures this experience well: “The whole front of the glacier is gashed and sculptured into a maze of shallow caves and crevasses, and a bewildering variety of novel architectural forms, clusters of glittering lance-tipped spires, gables, and obelisk, bold outstanding bastions and plain mural cliffs, adorned along the top with fretted cornice and battlement, while every gorge and crevasse, groove and hollow, was filled with light, shimmering and throbbing in pale-blue tones of ineffable tenderness and beauty.” -John Muir, Travels in Alaska Along with mapping the glacier margin and annual retreat, I’ve had the opportunity to observe and photograph Castle Creek Glacier’s annual changes. With each visit I’m astonished by the volume loss, change in form and alteration in character that is quantified blandly (yet importantly!) in our measurements of change. These repeat photographs, dating back to 2007, don’t show the marked change of repeat photos separated by decades. They do, however, catalog the more experiential understanding of the annual glacier change of Castle Creek Glacier. If you’re fortunate enough to have a ‘local’ glacier, make an effort to pay it a visit each year – you will be richly rewarded.
The recent series of suicides by young gay men, notably Rutgers University freshman Tyler Clementi and most recently youth activist Joseph Jefferson, has thrown a harsh spotlight on the struggles for acceptance many LGBT young people face. Jefferson, a 26-year-old HIV prevention activist and advocate for gay men of color in New York, left a heartbreaking note on his Facebook page before his death acknowledging society’s unwillingness to accept those who just “need to belong.” It may seem like society is indeed turning its back on some of its most vulnerable members. But if organizations like the Trevor Project have any say in the matter, that perception will be forcefully countered. Every day, the Trevor Project saves young lives through its free and confidential helpline, in-school workshops, free educational materials, online resources and advocacy. This leading national organization focused on crisis and suicide prevention efforts among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth was founded in 1998 by three film-makers whose film, Trevor, a true-life tragic -comic work about a gay teenager who contemplates suicide, received the 1994 Academy Award for Best Short Film (Live Action). In an effort to positively capitalize on the publicity surrounding the epidemic of LGBT youth suicide, the Trevor Project has released statistics that are at best alarming: according to a Massachusetts Youth Risk Survey, LGBTQ youth are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers, and the San Francisco State University Chavez Center Institute finds that LGBTQ youth who come from a rejecting family are up to nine times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers. To counter this extreme risk of suicide, the Trevor Project has launched a series of national public service announcements targeted at gay young people. “LGBTQ youth suicide is a preventable epidemic, and at The Trevor Project we know community education is the key to combating these devastating statistics,” said Executive Director Charles Robbins. “[The PSA campaign] has the incredible power to educate communities and spread the word to youth that help is always available, and it is okay to reach out for support.” The organization’s first PSA features Daniel Radcliffe, star of the Harry Potter films and the upcoming revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying on Broadway. Radcliffe became involved with The Trevor Project in 2009 when he joined its Circle of Hope, a community of major donors that plays an essential role in the financial leadership that makes the organization’s lifesaving work possible. He has since toured the organization’s East Coast Call Center in New York City, met with staff members and volunteer helpline counselors and filmed the PSA. MTV News offered an exclusive first look at the PSA, and the full-length version runs only on MTV.com. The PSA aims to raise awareness about The Trevor Helpline, a nationwide, around-the-clock crisis and suicide prevention helpline dedicated specifically to LGBTQ youth. Radcliffe reminds young people who may feel emotionally vulnerable there is always a safe place to turn, and encourages those who are feeling lost or alone to call The Trevor Helpline. Radcliffe concludes, “Be proud of who you are,” a vital message for anyone contemplating self-harm. “I believe The Trevor Project has a universal mission of acceptance that is so profound,” said Radcliffe. “If this brief PSA makes even one lost and alone young person aware of The Trevor Helpline and the lifesaving support it offers, then it will have been an endeavor well worth making.” In addition to the Trevor PSA, the “It Gets Better” series of online videos will soon feature more celebrities in taped messages decrying anti-gay bullying, the apparent impetus behind many of the recent LGBTQ youth suicides. Among the gay and straight participants are Michael Chiklis, Ian Somerhalder, Jason Derulo, Cyndi Lauper, Jenny McCarthy, Kristin Cavallari, Anne Hathaway and Chris Colfer. The stars urge those who are struggling to call the confidential toll-free, 24-hour Trevor hotline at 866-488-7386.

Germany says 10 European countries have agreed to take 400 unaccompanied minors who fled Greece’s largest migrant camp when it was gutted by fire. Most will go to Germany and France, Interior Minister Horst Seehofer told reporters on Friday. Close to 13,000 people had been living in squalor in the Moria camp on Lesbos. Families have been sleeping in fields and on roads after fleeing the blaze on Wednesday, as authorities struggle to find accommodation for them. Near the ruins of Moria, residents of the island blocked roads to stop charities from delivering aid and said they were against the construction of new tents. But the Greek military later used helicopters to reach the site and have begun setting up replacement accommodation. After visiting the area, European Commission Vice-President Margaritis Schinas announced that the devastated camp would be replaced by a modern facility at the same location. The Moria camp was initially designed to house 3,000 migrants. People from 70 countries had been sheltered there, most from Afghanistan. At the scene By Bethany Bell, BBC News, Lesbos Migrants from the burnt-out Moria camp are staging a protest in front of the police barriers which prevent them from moving to other parts of the island. Singing and banging plastic bottles, they march up and down a stretch of coastal road, calling for the right to leave Lesbos. One person carried a large piece of cardboard emblazoned with the message: “We don’t want food, we want freedom.” Another banner read: “Moria kills all lives”. Many local Greeks too want the migrants to leave the island. They strongly oppose plans to rebuild a temporary camp. Sanitary conditions are grim. There’s little running water, and washing is difficult. “Now is the time to shut down Moria for good,” Vangelis Violatzis, a local municipal leader on Lesbos, told AFP news agency. How to deal with the mass arrivals of migrants, mainly to Italy and Greece, has divided the EU for years. Italy and Greece have accused wealthier northern countries of failing to do more, while a number of central and eastern nations are openly resistant to the idea of taking in a quota of migrants. What’s been agreed? Mr Seehofer said France and Germany would each accept between 100 and 150 of the children. The Netherlands has already pledged to accept 50 and . Talks are ongoing with other states to take part, Mr Seehofer said. Other countries expected to take in children include Switzerland, Belgium, Croatia, Slovenia, Luxembourg and Portugal, according to German reports. The fire at Moria was “a sharp reminder to all of us for what we need to change in Europe”, the interior minister said. But a group of charities and NGOs have written to the German government saying more has to be done for all of the migrants, not just those minors. “The shameful situation in the camp and the fire disaster are the direct result of a failed European refugee policy – now the EU must finally help the people affected,” All 400 children have now been flown to the Greek mainland. EU home affairs commissioner Ylva Johansson said on Wednesday that the EU had agreed to finance the transfer of the minors to the mainland and their accommodation. “The safety and shelter of all people in Moria is a priority,” On Thursday, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said the migrant crisis was Europe’s problem, and concrete action was needed by the EU to tackle it. German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke to Mr Mitsotakis on the phone and said she had agreed Germany would take some of the migrant children. Touring the burnt-out Moria site on Thursday, Mr Schinas said it was “inconceivable” that the EU did not yet have a unified migration policy. He said the Commission’s proposals for a new pact on migration and asylum, due to be presented on 30 September, would “put an end to this unacceptable situation”. What is being done for the migrants? Greece has sent three ships to Lesbos to provide accommodation for some 2,000 migrants. The Blue Star Chios ferry, which has capacity to house 1,000 people, has docked at the Lesbos port of Sigri. Two naval vessels have also been provided. But officials have also increased security on the island. Military personnel, riot police and water cannon have arrived at the scene. About 35 people who fled the fires on Tuesday and Wednesday night had tested positive for Covid-19. Eight of them are believed to have been located and isolated since the fires broke out. On a car park park outside a supermarket on Thursday, hundreds of migrants, including families with small children, waited for bottled water and food to be distributed. “There is no food, no milk for the baby,” Congolese migrant Natzy Malala, who had a newborn infant and an eight-year-old girl, told Reuters news agency. But there is strong resistance from locals for a new camp to house them. “We don’t want another camp, and we will oppose any construction work. We’ve faced this situation for five years, it’s time for others to bear this burden,” local leader Vangelis Violatzis was quoted as saying.

Masuda Hajimu’s research focuses on the modern history of Japan and East Asia, the history of U.S. foreign relations, and the social and global history of the Cold War. A former journalist for Mainichi Shinbun and the author of articles in Foreign Policy, Diplomatic History, Journal of Contemporary History, and the Journal of Cold War Studies, he has analyzed the evolving power of the people in the modern world, regardless of any political spectrum, with particular attention to intersections between war and society and politics and culture in the mid-20th century. His first book, Cold War Crucible: The Korean Conflict and the Postwar World, published by Harvard University Press in … “What Was the Cold War? Imagined Reality, Ordinary People’s War, and Social Mechanism”: This article draws on and extends parts of Chapter 8 and 9 concerning Japan’s Red Purge and China’s Suppression of counterrevolutionaries. Masuda Hajimu (family name Masuda) is a historian at the National University of Singapore, and the author of Cold War Crucible: The Korean Conflict and the Postwar World (Harvard University Press, 2015). His work concerns the modern history of Japan and East Asia, the history of U.S. foreign relations, and the social and global history of the Cold War. “What was the Cold War? Masuda Hajimu argues that it was more than an international confrontation between West and East blocs. It was also a social mechanism of purity and ordering at home, in the chaotic post-WWII world.” Cold War Crucible: The Korean Conflict and the Postwar World (Harvard University Press, 2015); “The Social Experience of War and Occupation” in Laura Hein ed., The Cambridge History of Japan, Vol. III (forthcoming); “Toward a Community of Dissent: A Critical Analysis on the Politics of Asian Community,” Korea Journal (forthcoming) and more. Masuda Hajimu talked about the political climate surrounding the Cold War […], and argued that the Cold War transformed from an emergent global war to social warfare and ultimately a citizens’ war. In Cold War Crucible: The Korean Conflict and the Postwar World, new this month, Masuda Hajimu reveals social and political forces normally seen as products of the Cold War actually to have been instrumental in fostering the conditions from which the conflict sprung. Below, he examines how the dynamics he identifies as having contributed to the pervasive global logic of the Cold War can be seen anew in our own time, when the “War on Terror” becomes ever more entrenched as the rubric with which we explain the world. It is time to change our ways of thinking about the Cold War. What I question in my recent book is actually an assumption that these two seemingly opposing opinions share and that goes unquestioned by them: that is, that the essence of the Cold War was the US-USSR confrontation.

I have talked about how we deal with my daughter’s dairy allergy in the past, and in the post I talked a little about how we discovered that my daughter had a dairy allergy. The thing is, it took us a long time (18 months to be exact) to figure out that dairy was the issue. For some kids, it is easier to spot a dairy allergy, while in other kids it can be harder. Every child is different, and just as how hard it can be to spot a dairy allergy varies with each child, the severity of symptoms can vary as well. No matter how severe the symptoms are, you just want to make your child feel better, so learning the symptoms of a dairy allergy can help you help your child. What is a dairy allergy anyway? Cow’s milk allergy (or dairy allergy) is one of the most common allergies in infants and children. About 2.5% of children under three have a cow’s milk allergy and most children outgrow the allergy eventually. If your child is going to have an allergy to cow’s milk, she will most likely develop this allergy within the first year, even if it takes you longer to figure out what is wrong. There is a huge difference between a milk allergy and lactose intolerance. Many people think they are the same thing, but they are very different. A milk allergy invokes a response from the immune system, meaning that the immune system overreacts to the food being in the body. This can be very mild to severe and life threatening. Food intolerances, such as lactose intolerance, does not involve the immune system. Those who are lactose intolerant lack the enzyme lactase, which means the person cannot breakdown the lactose found in milk. This leads to bloating, gas, discomfort, nausea, and diarrhea. It is uncomfortable, but not life threatening. What are the symptoms of a dairy allergy? The symptoms of a dairy allergy are varied and can be very mild, in the form of a rash, or life threatening, such as anaphylaxis. These symptoms can even vary from each different exposure in the same child or person. - Difficulty breathing - Hoarse voice - Throat tightness - Red spots - Itchy, watery, or swollen eyes - Stomach ache If your child is having difficulty breathing, has swelling of her lips, tongue or throat, wheezing, throat tightness, or any other symptoms of anaphylaxis, call 911 immediately and get help. How do I determine if my child has a dairy allergy? There are a few different ways your doctor may try to diagnose your child. Most doctors will start by just eliminating dairy. If your infant or child’s symptoms go away, then your doctor will tell you to just avoid dairy for a period of time. After some time, your doctor may decide to challenge the allergy by giving your child a dairy food (such as cheese or milk) to see if the symptoms persist. This may happen about once a year until your child has outgrown the allergy or it is determined that your child may not outgrow it. If your child has an anaphylactic or life threatening allergy, your doctor may choose to do some blood tests to determine the amount of dairy antibodies are in your child’s blood. This will help determine if your child will outgrow the allergy and if the amount of antibodies are decreasing. The last resort is usually allergy testing. This is where they take needles and stick your infant or child on the back or arm with different common allergens and wait for a reaction. Many doctors will try other methods before resorting to this. Your doctor will most likely have you eliminate other common allergens, change detergents (if it is a skin reaction), and such prior to subjecting your child to this. Often times, the infants and children who have this done have several allergies, not just one. If you think your child has a dairy allergy, make sure to talk to your child’s doctor. How do I manage a dairy allergy in my child? At first, managing a dairy allergy can seem overwhelming and near impossible, but I assure you it gets easier. The first month or so is the hardest. The first thing you want to do is to start looking at food labels. If a food has any milk or milk product in it do not give it to your child. There are many things that have milk in them that you may not think have milk in the, such as certain brands of hot dogs. Just learn how to read ingredient labels, most have the common allergens listed in bold below the ingredient list. For example, this is the ingredient list for my daughter’s soy milk. Notice how at the end of the ingredient list is says “allergy warning”? Most foods will have this, but not all. It is a quick way for you to see if it contains milk, but even if it is not there, you should still double check the ingredient list. Most boxed foods and prepackaged foods will have milk in them. For example, boxed cake mixes contain milk, so just make sure you are looking. Once you know what things don’t have dairy in them, it will make your life easier because you won’t have to check those labels. You can also switch out your child’s milk or formula for a soy or other non-dairy milk. They can be just as nutritious and your child may like it better because it doesn’t upset their stomach. If you are cooking, you can switch out milk for soy milk, and actually soy milk makes things like cake and mashed potatoes better. This means if you are cooking at home, there is no reason your child can’t eat what you are eating. You will find over time that it is easier to cook your own meals instead of buying boxed or pre-prepared meals, or even going out to eat, because you know exactly what goes in them. In fact, you will save money and be healthier for it too! You can also learn more about how we have dealt with my daughter’s dairy allergy if you want. Dairy allergies are no fun for anyone, but learning how to spot them and deal with a dairy allergy can make your life a little easier, and make your child more comfortable. Does your child have a dairy allergy? What symptoms did your child have?

Driven by the colossal Internet of Things (IoT) opportunity, wireless technologies—including wireless local area network (WLAN), Bluetooth, cellular and low-power wireless—will account for 55 percent of connectivity integrated circuit (IC) shipments in 2018, according to a new report from business information provider IHS Markit (Nasdaq: INFO). Over the next five years, wireless connectivity will play an increasingly crucial role in market segments including automotive and transportation, commercial and industrial electronics, communications, computers, consumer and medical. “Massive IoT use cases requiring long battery life, deep coverage and mobility are fueling demand for cellular and low-power wireless,” said Julian Watson , senior principal analyst for IoT at IHS Markit. “WLAN, Bluetooth and Zigbee are already entrenched in the home automation and consumer electronics segments. And in the coming years, wireless is going to have a huge impact on industries such as healthcare, where providers will lean heavily on wireless connectivity to track and trace costly equipment across large sites and to monitor the condition of patients within domestic settings.” The IoT opportunity is also spurring competition among wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Long Term Evolution (LTE) and challengers like long-range wide area network (LoRaWAN), Sigfox and Thread. “The diversity of IoT use cases requires multiple technologies, and because of this we’ll see competition between technologies intensify,” Watson said. “The end result is that connectivity technologies will either compete, complement or combine—and whatever is most cost-effective will win out.” Five connectivity technologies to watch In its new Connectivity Technologies report , IHS Markit identifies five connectivity technologies to watch: The move to 5G will trigger significant investment across the value chain from 2020 to 2030, with $2.4 trillion in capital expenditures during this time frame. 5G will start by addressing enhanced broadband uses cases, but industry, not humans, will be the chief 5G driver. Most growth in new subscriber connections will come from industrial use cases rather than consumer markets. Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) NB-IoT enables connectivity in devices used in a wide array of applications such as utilities, digital sensor monitoring, agriculture, location-based services and smart cities. Strong NB-IoT deployment in China and Europe will continue, while LTE Cat-M1 will remain dominant in the US. Asia is projected to account for 88 percent of global NB-IoT connections in 2020. Despite intense competition from NB-IoT, LoRa is the low-power WAN (LPWAN) technology of choice for private networks and non-traditional service providers such as cable operators due to its accessibility and differentiation. LoRa has earned a leading role in the LPWAN market, with more than 32 million nodes shipped in 2017, growing to over 57 million nodes in 2018. Bluetooth’s momentum and massive installed base gives it an advantage that will be hard for incumbent technologies like Zigbee to challenge. Although it is still perceived as a consumer technology, mesh technology will allow Bluetooth to cross over into commercial and industrial applications such as lighting and building automation, with an anticipated 392 million lighting and building automation device shipments in 2022. As greater numbers of Wi-Fi–enabled devices are added into homes and enterprises, the 802.11ax standard will gain more prominence in the marketplace and is expected to become the de facto Wi-Fi standard in the next decade. The 802.11ax market will grow rapidly beginning in 2020, after the Wi-Fi alliance launches a certification program. 802.11ax chipset revenue is expected to reach $855 million in 2022.

6 approaches to eat oneself healthier They have that time of year whenever we’re inundated with quick-fixes and columbia crash diets guaranteeing easy fat loss. They may be tempting, with claims of wish and joy, but novelty diets are impossible to hold. Even if you shed weight initially, their long-term influence on your mental and physical health is usually detrimental. Research shows that food restriction can easily lower your metabolism and raise your appetite for about a year, bringing about a routine of issue and over-eating. It’s time to break in which loop by means of switching your own personal focus. Instead of counting calories along with thinking about what to cut out, think about what to include, to see eating as a possible opportunity to nourish your mind and also body. Feed on to make sure you your belly Adopting dieting that is gut friendly will probably positively profit almost every aspect of your body and brain. Our gut houses trillions of microbes (our ‘ microbiome’) that safeguard us through infections, make vitamins and also neurotransmitters, and also influence each of our appetite, mood and excess weight. The best way to nurture your stomach microbes is usually to eat a diverse diet full of fibre, berries, vegetables, polyphenols and probiotics. These present ‘ food’ for them, allowing them to flourish and increase. The more diverse your diet, the harder diverse (which is good) your microbiome. The five best gut-friendly foods to boost your diet “Fibre is our microbes’ most liked nutrient thus aiming for 30g each day is a wonderful way to store them well fed, ” talks about registered dietitian Dr Megan Rossi. But not all nutritional fibre is the very same, so eating a wide variety of plants is key. Megan recommends having at least thirty different flower foods (beans, lentils, fresh fruit, veg, whole grains, nuts in addition to seeds) each week to increase often the diversity on your gut microbiome. Simple tips are to matter a minimum of about three different types within each meal, don’t eat the same lunchtime every day you need to include mixed plant seeds or nuts with breakfast every day. Include considerably more plant proteins “Protein-rich grow foods like beans, peas, nuts, plant seeds, soy along with lentils, are nutritious and also packed with phytochemicals (plant nutrients) and fibre, ” clarifies nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert, author of Re-Nourish . The planet Cancer Investigation Fund proposes the consumption of meals ‘ primarily of grow origin’ as well as inclusion associated with pulses each and every meal. Pinto beans and lentils have been situations reduce degrees of unhelpful LDL cholesterol in the blood, and the combination of necessary protein and nutritional fibre will help you sense full in addition to satisfied. Nonetheless it is important to not forget that many flower proteins never contain a finish amino acid account like pet proteins. Therefore , we should be blending foods for example beans and brown hemp to ensure we have all the essential amino acids (the building blocks associated with protein) that we need. Pick the best grow proteins Chickpeas: There’s about 9g in half a can additionally significant amounts of straightener, magnesium along with fructooligosaccharides, a variety of fibre in which feeds often the ‘ good’ microbes within the gut. Chia in addition to hemp seeds: Unlike various other seeds, these people contain most eight essential amino acids, which is why they are concidered ‘ complete’ proteins. They’re also great sources of alpha-linolenic acid, a variety of omega-3 body fat. Tofu and tempeh: Made from soya bean curd, both are total proteins and therefore are rich in isoflavones, which have robust antioxidant along with anti-inflammatory consequences. Amaranth and buckwheat: They contain one-and-a-half moments more health proteins than encuadernaci?n or hemp, and are excellent sources of iron bars and zinc, both necessary for the immune system. Edamame pinto beans: These are younger soya chili and great sources of health proteins and food fibre, as well as phytochemicals that guide lower body cholesterol levels. Add far more colour Consuming colourful fruit and veggies every day will surely have a significant affect on cutting your risk of illness. Each colour has a unique set of disease-fighting phytochemicals this confer large health benefits. For instance , the strong red colour in the vegetable tomatoes and watermelon is coming from lycopene, situations lower the unfortunate risk certain malignancies; the purple colour in blueberries as well as blackberries derives from anthocyanins, which can help reduce persistent inflammation, a cause of numerous lifestyle-related illnesses like rheumatoid arthritis symptoms symptoms, dementia, cardiovascular disease, stroke and also type 2 diabetes. Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli along with cabbage include indoles along with saponins, that are fitted with cancer-protective components. “I encourage my individuals to get a ‘rainbow variety’ of foods in their weekly diet as a way regarding ensuring a fantastic collection of all these different substances, ” claims Dr Rupy Aujla, writer of Often the Doctor’s House . He suggests all of us include a minimum of two several coloured veggies at every meal time, differ them through the month as well as experiment with seasonal veg to really make the most of just what medicinal houses our food has to offer. Deal your ingesting hours The majority of us eat shortly after waking then graze during the day up to sleeping, meaning jooxie is eating over the 16-hour period. But that pattern associated with eating won’t sync with body time, or circadian rhythms, which will some feel may placed us at more significant risk of being overweight. Researchers feel that aligning your own eating to your body time clock – reducing the windowpane of time in which you consume your day’s foods – could possibly boost your overall health and potentially help you lose many fat. A lot more reported enhanced energy levels, a great deal better sleep and also weight loss. The theory is that our bodies are designed to break up and absorb food most efficiently throughout caralean composicion a relatively comparatively of each day time; then restoration itself in addition to burn extra fat when we fast. ‘ A possibility known at the moment whether it comes with an optimum screen or just how critical right time to is. Nonetheless having significantly less opportunity to eat does manage to lead to significantly less food intake, in those not necessarily consciously trying to lose weight, ‘ describes Dr Denise Robertson, science tecnistions at the University of Surrey. Her initial study with 2018 located that people who else delayed all their usual breakfast time time through 90 a few minutes, and contributed their regular dinner time frontward by 80 minutes for 10 2 or 3 weeks lost much more body fat than those patients who consumed to what ever schedule many people liked. If you are new to time-restricted eating, start eating within a 12-hour windowpane – electronic. g. via 8am to 8pm. If you wish to take it a step further, enhance the fasting time and energy to 14 or 16 hours, so you feed on within a twelve or eight-hour window (e. g. 8am to 6pm, or 10am to 6pm). Stop worrying fats For so long it’s been ingrained inside us to slice down on fat. Research has right now shown that will, while full of calories, only a few fats are the enemy. The unsaturated fatty acids, which include mono-unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats usually are vital for the body’s both mental and physical health. Scientists advise eating more of these types of and less unhealthy fats. Monounsaturated excess fat, found in avocados, olive oil, almonds and seeds, help reduce the amount of LDL (bad) cholesterol and our general risk of a heart attack, high blood pressure in addition to stroke. Omega-3-rich foods – oily species of fish, walnuts and flax, chia, hemp and also pumpkin seed – assist brain performance and ram, and also influence behaviour along with mood. A lot of people perceive coconut oil to get healthy however the British Cardiovascular Foundation says it is more likely to lift levels of LDL cholesterol than lower all of them. A review of 55 studies within the effects of different oils upon blood cholesterol found veg oils like rapeseed, flaxseed and extra virgin olive oil to be the best choice for cholesterol-reducing. Coconut acrylic fared superior to butter nevertheless seed natural skin oils, for example sunflower oil, received the day since the best versions for preparing food your food with. Manage your current alcohol Liquor adds additional calories, causes you to hungry, influences your sleep at night and can offer you a sore mind in the morning when you overdo that. There’s no doubt that alcohol should be constrained as part of healthful eating. Annie Elegance, author involving The Alcohol consumption Experiment , offers the subsequent tips on how to deal with your absorption. Be aware: Pay attention to the reason you’re drinking. Are you filling up an emotive or bodily need? Food craving, stress? Becoming mindful associated with why causes healthier selections. Remain hydrated: Most likely less likely to overdrink in case you are hydrated. Booze is a diuretic so you should replace the fluid you’re losing. Replace it with water – not wines! Help to make decisions ahead of time: Establish limits before sipping. Alcohol results in poor choices. Knowing your current terms ahead of helps you keep resolve. Plan one thing for the next moment: Avoid overcooking it by making day plans. In order to honour your commitment, likely to turn down just one single more beverage to turn in early instead.
The aim of the Longyearbyen CO2 Lab pilot project in Spitsbergen has been to evaluate local geological conditions for subsurface storage of the greenhouse gas CO2 . Project activity included the drilling and logging of four slim-hole cored wells, acquisition of new seismic sections and a wide range of laboratory and field studies. The targeted reservoir is a marginal-marine sandstone succession of the Upper Triassic - Middle Jurassic Kap Toscana Group at ≥670 m depth, overlain by thick Upper Jurassic shales and younger shale-rich formations. The reservoir has a sandstone net/ gross of 25-30% and is intruded by thin dolerite sills and dykes. The reservoir and cap-rock succession rises at 1-3° towards the surface and crops out 14-20 km to the northeast of Longyearbyen. Near the surface, all units are seemingly sealed by permafrost. The reservoir shows considerable underpressure, in the lower part equal to c. 30% of hydrostatic pressure, which indicates good initial sealing conditions. Core samples indicate a ‘tight’ reservoir, with sandstones of moderate porosity (5-18%) and low permeability (max. 1-2 mD). Rock fractures are important for fluid flow. Water-injection tests have indicated good injectivity in the lower part of the reservoir succession (870-970 m depth). The relatively more porous and permeable upper part (670-870 m depth) has only been partly tested. The injectivity increases with the increasing pressure, which suggests that the fractures gradually open and grow under injection. Reservoir pressure compartments indicate bedding-parallel permeability barriers, although these may gradually yield under a growing cumulative pressure. The reservoir storage capacity and its apparent connection with the surface remain to be fully evaluated. On the basis of its preliminary results, the project will proceed with a more advanced research programme.
While being in Plainview, TX, for my internship for Todd Ag Consulting, I learned a lot about the community and the common wealth that is present inside the city as well as in the rural areas around town. Some common wealth assets that I mainly saw in my everyday interactions were the soil and mineral cycle, water supply, and food shed. These three assets were why many people settled in the town of Plainview. The soils are fertile with many great advantages for local farmers. They also have in many places a very good source of water for irrigating their crops. Along with those assets I noticed a few produce gardens around Plainview. I also noticed many local farmers selling produce around the city, furthermore I saw advertisements for local farmers markets. along with a heavy agriculture background throughout the town I noticed another very strong key asset which is education. Wayland Baptist University and South Plains College show the very important education asset that Plainview, Tx, has to offer. For being a town with a population of twenty thousand eight hundred and fifty nine, the town has many other assets to offer such as a spiritual asset with a religious university and many churches around the city. another key asset that most towns do not have is healthcare, Plainview has an averaged size hospital along with doctors offices around town. I believe that working in around the Plainview area has opened my eyes on what some city’s do and do not have.
- Accommodation at the hotel - Breakfasts, lunches, dinners - Museum entrance fees - English-speaking guide Meeting at the airport. Night flight to Kazan (2h). Arrival to Kazan. Accommodation at the hotel. Kazan - one of the largest cities of Russia, more than a million people call it home. Kazan is considered one of the cultural and economic centers of the Volga region. Kazan was founded more than 1 000 years ago by the ancient Bulgars at the intersection of trade routes between Europe and Asia. In the 16th century, Ivan the Terrible conquered Kazan and annexed it to the territory of Russia. Today Kazan officially is the third capital of Russia. During the tour, we will discover the amazing history of Kazan. Old mansions, trading houses, industrial and cultural buildings of the 19th and early 20th centuries form the historic city centre, we will stroll along the pedestrian Bauman street, Old-Tatar settlement, Marjani Mosque, Kaban Lake, Tatar Drama Theatre, Millennium park, Bulak Canal, foot Bauman St. The Kazan Kremlin is the unique Complex of Archeological, Historical and Architectural Monuments arisen and functioning from the basis of a city up to now. In 2000 year the Kazan Kremlin has been included into the List of the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Objects of the Complex are under the authority of the “Kazan Kremlin State Historic-Architectural and Art Museum Reservation”. The Qol Sharif Mosque is the Greatest Mosque within the territory of Russia. It has been constructed in 2005 year due to the date of celebrating the Kazan Millennium. The Annunciation Cathedral is the Monument of History and Architecture of XVI century. It was open after restoration. There is the Architectural Symbol of the city which is located in the Kremlin. It is the Soyembike Tower, the one of a few "falling" towers in the world. Excursion to the Sviyajsk. It is located at the confluence of the Volga and Sviyaga Rivers. It is often referred to as an island since the construction of the Kuybyshev Reservoir at Tolyatti downstream Volga in 1955, but it is in fact connected to the mainland by a road. Sviyazhsk was founded in 1551 as a fortress, which was built within four weeks from parts made in Uglich and transported down the Volga. It became a military base of the Russian army during the siege of Kazan (1552). Since the 15th century, Sviyazhsk served as a center of an uyezd. In 1920-1927, it was a center of Sviyazhsky Kanton; in 1927-1931--the administrative center of Sviyazhsky District. In 1932, it was demoted to rural status. Dinner. Transfer to the hotel. Excursion The Raifa Bogoroditsky Monastery. The Raifa Bogoroditsky Monastery is one of the most beautiful sites in Tatarstan. The Monastery was founded in the 16th-17th centuries. The ancient cloister is located on the bank of a beautiful lake and surrounded by virgin forests. Anyone approaching the monastery can contemplate a wonderful harmony of the architectural ensemble, crenellated walls of white stone, the Gate bell-tower looking into the sky, golden crosses on the green and sky-blue temple domes. Lunch. Transfer to airport. Arrival to Saint-Petersburg.
“Operation Tabarin” was a Second World War mission to the Antarctic, far removed from the major theatre of battle but nevertheless considered of vital political and strategic importance in the safeguarding of British Sovereign Land. Conducted by the Admiralty on behalf of the Colonial Office, the Expedition was organised and executed under orders of the strictest secrecy. The men were drawn from a combination of military and civilian occupations and all were volunteers. Departing Great Britain by ship at the end of 1943, their objective was to establish two permanently manned bases within the territory of the Falkland Islands Dependencies, with the following aims: 1. To ensure a British presence in the Antarctic to discourage enemy activity, particularly to prevent harbours and stocks of shipping oil falling into enemy hands. 2. To strengthen British claims to sovereignty of the Falkland Islands Dependencies, to which Argentina and Chile had made counter claims. Permission was also given to carry out scientific research in the areas where the bases were established. This book looks at the Operation from the previously unexplored aspect of the political importance of the special stamps produced, and mail sent and received through the operation of Post Offices at the permanently occupied Antarctic bases. Previously unpublished pictures and extracts from Government records are featured.
Chrome oxide coating In the production of hard chromium plating hexavalent chromium oxide is produced. Hex chrome is a well known carcinogen. Industries that generate hex chrome currently face strict occupational and environmental regulations, and the regulations for hex chrome are expected to become more restrictive. Because of the strict regulations for hex chrome the cost of hard chrome plating continues to rise and the availability of the technology is becoming harder to find as older plating operations are being shut down. Hard Chrome Alternatives TST offers several alternatives to replace hard chrome plating. Because TST custom engineers its coating solutions to each of our customer's component surface requirements, many of the coatings outperform the hard chrome plated coating they replaced. The coatings are typically designed to provide protection against wear, corrosion and many times a combination of both. Figure 1 is a comparison of some of the alternative coating materials offered by TST to replace hard chrome plating. These coatings were tested along with hard chrome in an ASTM G65 Abrasive Sand Rubber Wheel wear test. This test demonstrates alternatives to hard chrome plating can clearly outperform the coatings they were designed to replace. Thermal sprayed coating alternatives to hard chrome plating are becoming very common. An application example is the use of thermal sprayed carbide coatings on landing gear for aircraft. These coatings have proven to provide exceptional wear and corrosion resistance in this application.Thermal Spray Coated Landing Gear Struts Replace Hard Chromium Plating You might also like NOS 18060NOS Nitro/Alky Fuel Solenoid Automotive Parts and Accessories (NOS)
The Oban Times, 3 May, 1919 The Piping of the Pibroch 119 Oxford Street, East London, South Africa, 24 March, 1919 Sir,–Now the War is over and the piping times of peace are near, the study of piping and of pibroch may be resumed. The value of the pipes during the War has been clearly shown. Pipe music and all kinds of music have proved and found their proper place as a nerve tonic and stimulant to moral courage. Turning to pibroch, which was referred to by Lieut. John McClellan in your issue of 22nd February last, much has been made of a traditional style of playing handed down by so-called experts. Now music is a universal language, and national music may be classed as a dialect, so to speak, of music. It has been said by many pipers that musicians who are not Scottish by birth cannot understand pibroch music. I do not think so myself; it is a matter of education, study and environment. Once Pibroch is explained to a foreigner, I have always found him follow the music quite easily, at first upon paper and afterwards (much depends on his natural ear) upon the pipe itself, preferably the practice chanter. Native Kaffirs I have heard whistling pibroch urlars too. The simple virgin mind picks up tunes as easily as our own children. I have met many pipers who sneer at pibroch because they have never studied it, and because they so often know very little about the theory of music, as your correspondent points out. Then again we have the present-day illliterate players–those who play by ear alone. Some of them are naturally gifted with a musical ear and do not cultivate anything further. Some pipers profess to say that anyone who plays the violin, piano or other musical instrument is unable to judge, or have any opinion on, pipe music. I do not agree with this, for the more the student knows of music the better piper he will be. Yet each man to his favourite instrument. With regard to the main thought of Lieut. MacLennan’s article, it goes without saying that many pibrochs have words written to them. I wish I had the words of all those he enumerated. I have just had a little controversy with a man who holds that Mackay’s style of “MacLeod of MacLeod’s Lament (No. LI.) in his book is correct, i.e. seven bars in first part of urlar. I hold that this cannot be. To anyone with any idea of music at all, it is evident that the seventh bar must be played twice over; the words of the lament also prove this. This is a point over which traditional players often go wrong. They say, “Oh, this is the way it is written, and it must be played so–mistakes and all.” Coming to the subject of long E notes and long low A notes, here is a great danger of spoiling melodies. Players who are musical by nature will find that there is in pibroch urlars a well-defined melody which runs all through the variations, and without talking about those mentioned above, I may mention “Gabh sinn an rathad mor” (We will take the high way), and also “Carles with the breeks,” “Wives of this glen,” “Boidach na’m brigais.” I think it must be conceded that the rundown grace notes and long E notes, etc., have to be treated in such a way that it becomes more or less a matter of celerity, and execution performed in such a manner that the melody is not destroyed. Careful attention must also be given to parsing notes. Looking over a collection of songs, I found several which were written by performers of the bagpipes, as is proved by their style and a long sustained finale of the airs ending upon low A note of the pipe. I think myself that anyone taught by vocables or canntaireachd can have a better idea of a pibroch melody than those who have not, because some grace notes and echoing beats, etc., carry themselves in the head better than by learning only from a visual method of notation. Sir Walter Scott wrote some verses for “Carles with the breeks,” and it is said he coined the word pibroch–the original of which means piping a pipe tune. Some English folk think pibroch is a musical instrument, and I have been asked that question. You would be interesting if someone would make a list of pibrochs having versus fitting them.–I am, etc.,

Irimescu is considered one of the great innovators in modern sculpture. He lived lifelong in the northern Moldavian small town of Falticeni, which despite its small size, was home to numerous intellectuals during pre-Communist decades. He died at age 102.

It is a relatively popular truth that totally free or extremely subsidized parking is a reward offered to professors and students. A great deal of faculty and school team member seek to free parking as an essential consideration when deciding to work at a certain school. Keeping this in mind, formulating a perfect school parking policy ought to be approached in such a way that is fair to all. Usually speaking, parking spaces in schools are restricted. A perfect parking policy should have the ability to optimize the parking area readily available for trainees, professors and personnel. Lots of corporations are doing away with complimentary parking for staff members due to the costs of keeping a car park. Implementing the exact same policy in schools can show to be a perfect service to this issue. The trouble may be if a parking space has actually been provided to a faculty member or student in the past at a cost that does not show the existing financial circumstance. A smart idea is to ""wean"" faculty, personnel and trainees from a less than ideal parking policy. Suddenly changing policies can possibly alienate those affected, so a progressive modification is the better concept. Making parking lot subsidies fairer to the institution is a parking policy that would be easier to carry out along with reasonably ""pain-free"". If before the school subsidized parking at a 70/30 % in favor of the professors, staff member or student, the aid might be moved to 50/50% or perhaps 60/40% in favor of the organization. Another parking policy modification is to assign parking areas on a concern basis. For example, someone who lives further away is offered first priority when considered being offered a parking space. As soon as you have picked your brand-new school parking policies, the next action is to execute them. The correct school parking indications ought to be installed in your school parking lot. These indications should be put in a manner that is visible to all, ideally in well lit locations. Also, when picking a proper indication, ensure they are made from a product that will give you many years of service. Aluminum is an excellent choice as this material is resistant to rust. Being able to park on school premises is a privilege, not a right. The increasing expenses of running a car park make it essential to formulate a parking policy that is economically sound. Nevertheless, it is still possible to come up with a policy that will benefit all. One of the crucial tools in security is the covert camera. These can come in the names spy video camera, CCTV camera and security covert video camera. No matter how they are called, the objective is to tape-record video signals. In the field of traffic enforcement, this tool is really useful as it helps enforcers to easily capture law breakers in the soonest possible time. The concealed cams are now set up in traffic points to record traffic signals. This helps in making certain that people follow the traffic rules and regulations. With this gadget, issues like having people leaping over railways and breaching some other laws will end up being simpler to manage and attend to. Another method to use such cameras is to install them in taxis as a way to tape the actions of passengers when an incident happens, the police officers can easily pursue the guest. The advantage is that the cost of security cam is now fairly discounted compared to the marketplace rates before. You can even select the size, color, design and style that you want. There are even small sized cameras that you wouldn't notice in public locations. This is exactly what technology does today. There are other features offered in the advanced hidden electronic cameras today. You will find products like teddy bear cameras, pen video camera and covert clock cam among others. A spy cam may also serve its function in the property field to guarantee security and security of your family. There are numerous purposes to have this tool around and you can just discover one that will fit your needs. Reversing into a parking area as deals various benefits. The first is monetary. It has actually been approximated that reversing into a parking space so that you can repel forwards can save $50 weekly on fuel. It takes the engine from a typical five year old automobile around one and a half minutes to warm up and reach maximum fuel performance. The most reliable method to warm the engine is by driving it efficiently away. Reversing from a parking area when the engine is cold uses around twenty to twenty 5 times more fuel in the very first seconds than it does when warm. If you reverse from a parking space an average of 10 times a week then this extra cost in fuel adds up to around $50 a week. So by ensuring you pull out of your parking space forwards you might save around $100 annually. This doesn't include the money you will likewise save from reducing the wear to your vehicle's engine. Reverse parking, also referred to as bay parking, is likewise extensively considered to be more secure. To start with at slow speeds a car has greater maneuverability reversing than it does going forwards. Likewise reversing into an area you can see, particularly a parking bay is much safer than reversing out into a location you can't see i.e. a busy roadway. It is likewise a lot much easier to manage a car going forwards than it is in reverse when it is first begun and trying a high danger manoeuvre such as reversing when you have just entered a cars and truck are not always concentrating to the very best of your abilities is more harmful. Increased security is another benefit. Reversing near a wall or other big item parking lot entry systems can make it harder for a burglar to burglarize your car. Also if for individual security factors you had to leave a parking space rapidly, driving forwards would allow you greater velocity and improved vision. To make reversing into a parking bay easier you can reduce the left mirror to offer a much better guide to your lateral position. If all the parking spaces run in parallel rows you can line your vehicle up with the area in front and reverse back in a straight line. This must instantly position you in the centre of the parking bay.
According to the CSLB in the state of California an Unlicensed Contractor can perform as a Contractor on a job up to $500 without requiring a license. We are looking deeper into this because the law seems to be implied and there are many who can’t find the information they need to properly understand their limitations. Handyman stings are popping up all over and skilled professionals trying to make an honest living are being prosecuted or forced to become a licensed contractor based on a regulation that seems to be so vague or non existant. Maybe it exists but it is not easily found. The facts are at the state level there is a law Code 7031a that states a license is requierd for any job requiring one. But it doesn’t mention the $500 limit anywhere. It does refer to the CSLB which says no peticular job requires a license but implies and posts articles about a $500 rule. No actual laws or codes can be found with a mention of a $500 limit. This being said, the fact is, there may be a law or code out there but it is not readily available doing a simple search. Shouldn’t an individual have all the information easily found before being prosecuted for a crime that could have been prevented by simple knowledge? All it would take is placement of an actual law, regulation or code. If one doesnt exist then it should be written and placed. If you are a handyman caught in a sting then you have plausible defense based on lack of education, you are not a Contractor, you did not enter into a contract. You have the right to work and use your skills to make a living. It is the CSLB’s obligation to educate you and make any regulation searchable by anyone regardless of education. Law must be official and not implied or just simply mentioned in an article or 3rd party post.

1、To me, beauty is about being comfortable in your own skin. It’s about knowing and accepting who you are. 2、To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to be accept yourself. 3、When you fall for someone’s personality everything about them becomes beautiful. 4、Beautiful is a person whose outside and inside world are in great concord, camaraderie and concert.- Anuj Somany 5、A real beauty is not that which has a polish all over the body but the natural skin and pure heart. 6、Live yourself as who you really are that will makes you beautiful. 7、Society: Hello ladies! All you need to have to be beautiful is: Long, blonde hair, blue eyes, Spanish lips, a button nose, Swedish legs, hips of a 9 year old boy, big boobs, flawless face, perfect smile, at least under 100 pounds, have designer clothing, your boobs hanging outta your shirt and your butt hanging out of your shorts, not have acne, wear makeup, be popular, have a hot boyfriend, perfect teeth, be rich, nice, nice voice, great laugh, perfect family, clean skin, and those are your requirements in order to be the best person ever. 8、The beauty of a person is not what the outside carries but it what the inner part carries. 9、A woman knows she’s beautiful when her smile is her best curve!!-Know your worth. 10、Beautiful women and handsome men are a dime a dozen, what’s on the inside after the layers are peeled off is what really matters. 11、It is your imperfections that make you beautiful, in the eyes of someone who knows you by the heart. 12、Beautiful things are beautiful and they attract our eyes and make us feel like a heaven on the earth. Similarly think good, feel good, believe in good and act good which develops inner values and you will feel that you are living in the heaven. Life is an art, need to learn, understand, feel, believe and act up to accordingly. 13、A beauty secret: make- up doesn’t make you beautiful, it makes you hidden. To show your true self you need to let your eyes shine with compassion, your lips soften with respect, and your skin glow with joy. 14、One can overcome physical ugliness by sweet behavior and good acts, but an ugly character makes even beauty look ugly! 15、I don’t know. Just because someone’s pretty doesn’t mean she’s decent. Or vice versa. I’m not into appearances. I like flaws, I think they make things interesting.- Sarah Dessen 16、You are beautiful. Know this. Anyone who tells you otherwise is simply lying. You are beautiful.- Steve Maraboli 17、Beautiful are not those whose face is beautiful, beautiful are those whose character is beautiful. 18、When someone says you’re cute they look at your face, when someone says you’re sexy they look at your body, when someone says you’re beautiful they look at your heart that’s why I always say you’re beautiful. 19、Beauty outside catches the eyes but the real beauty that lies within captures the heart. 20、Being a princess isn’t about the diamonds, the wardrobe or the crown in her head. It’s about her characteristics and her attitudes that makes her a real princess. 21、Beautiful things, can be seen only by the eyes of those who see things beautifully. 22、Real beauty is not seen by looking at the person but by looking at the reflection they cast on others. 23、External beauty disappears as you age but internal beauty is remembered even when you are long gone from this earth. Think of Mother Teresa of Calcutta. 24、Each person looks different, even twins and somebody out there thinks you are the most beautiful thing on earth; caking yourself in makeup only hides that beauty and tells others that you are self conscious, and aren’t proud the way you look. So just be yourself. This way you aren’t cheating those silly people who only love for the looks and you aren’t cheating yourself. After all, you want to be loved for who you are, not who you can be. 25、Beauty can be altered to perfection but unless it mirrors what’s within oneself it will forever be insignificant.
In a far corner of Ashburton airfield, across the paddock from the fast-fading WW2 hangar, is a little-known and intact piece of New Zealand aviation history. It is a compass rose made of concrete. A compass rose is a figure on a compass or map or nautical chart – or ground, as in Ashburton – to show the orientation of north, east, south and west and intermediate points. The Ashburton compass is rudimentary and standard for time. When it was built – when Ashburton was home to the WW2 Royal New Zealand Air Force Elementary Flying School and trained 1100 pilots for service in the war – it is believed to have had brass points indicating true north, south, east and west, but they are gone. To use the rose, an aircraft was placed on the rose pointing true north and, from there, the magnetic north direction could be found and the readings for each plane altered. Because magnetic north is variable, the calculations needed to be done regularly. The rose – and 600m of tarmac – have a Category A Ashburton council heritage listing. The tarmac runs northeast and still has the metal tie-downs used to secure Tiger Moths from damage in northwest winds. The tarmac is still in good condition.

Person-Directed Planning and Independent Facilitation is the core of our work. Through Planning and Facilitation, we support people and their families to build on their abilities, and create the life they want in the community. Our Planning and Facilitation is not one-size-fits-all. Instead of a menu of services, we get to know each individual and family that we work with, to understand their unique gifts, strengths, dreams, and challenges. We then work with them to develop a plan for the life they want to live, and support them to take action on that plan. Planning is something we all do. We think about what is important in our lives, we talk to others we trust, and plan steps towards the life we dream. Person-Directed Planning is just that – a person has the opportunity and support to think about and decide what is important to them. Most often, this includes a person’s family and others who are important in their lives. Our role at Bridges to Belonging is to guide the process of planning, but not direct it. Independent facilitators who guide the process believe: - People make decisions about their own lives. - Family and friends of the person are important and are listened to. - A person’s community is the first place to look for anything they need to build a good life. - Everybody has dreams, strengths and gifts. - People need people. - Planning includes action. Bridges to Belonging offers independent facilitation to support person-directed planning, relationship development, social inclusion and community participation and contribution. The role of independent facilitators is to guide the process, but not direct it. As independent facilitators, we are accountable to the person and their network. - are person-directed – we see the person we are serving as the decision maker - listen deeply and guide the planning process at the pace that is right for the person and their family - walk with the person as they take action on their plan Being person-directed means that we take our cues from the individual – or as one of our facilitators calls them, “the boss”. Our job is to uncover the hopes and dreams of the individual, honour them, and help turn them into goals with actionable steps. Common areas we are asked to help with include: - Making and retaining friendships - Getting involved with groups and recreation in the community - Finding volunteer or paid work that is meaningful to you - Planning for future housing needs - …and whatever else comes up. Bridges to Belonging began providing Person-Directed Planning and Independent Facilitation in Waterloo Region with a focus on people with developmental disabilities. We believe that planning and facilitation can be useful tools and experiences for anyone wanting to plan for and build the life they want to live. This includes people with physical disabilities, mental health challenges, acquired brain-injuries, or anyone experiencing a transition in life, such as youth or seniors planning for their future. Remember, our work is individualized to you. If you think you may benefit from planning or facilitation, we encourage you to get in touch. We offer Planning and Facilitation on an hourly fee-for-service basis. Typically people fund this work through Passport Funding or other individualized funding. Subsidies for those requiring assistance may be available. You may also be eligible for the Independent Facilitation Demonstration Project. People can ask for Independent Facilitation and Planning support for themselves, their family member, or for someone they know by getting in touch with us.
Every day war, execution, and natural disasters force people to flee their homes. In order to escape, they leave everything behind – all except their hopes and dreams for a better future. #ICameAsARefugee is a campaign that sheds some positive light on refugees and celebrates their contribution to our society. It is a response to anti-refugee feelings. This campaign highlights six different refugees that came to Canada, and tells their stories through their own words. On June 20th, our poster campaign will be launched in downtown Calgary for the first time on World Refugee Day. After the event, the posters will be put across Calgary on various train station platforms, community bulletin boards, and institutions. The posters highlighting each refugee, as well as exclusive video interviews, will all be made available to the public on June 20th through our website . Join in the conversation by sharing the campaign using #ICameAsARefugee to start the movement in ending hate towards asylum seekers and helping to create an understanding and empowerment for refugees. Asylum seekers are also encouraged to share their own stories through the hashtag, or anyone can share the stories of people they know who came as refugees. Help us spread the word by sharing this message!
Need a Job? Under Stress? Need a job? Under stress? Those two questions will get most any student nodding their head. Whether you’re battling class assignments or fighting for more room in your dorm, college will always find a way to get hectic. Not to mention those summer savings aren’t going to last forever. No matter how many stress relieving events student organizations may hold on, it’s still an effort just to make it there, if your new job and classes will allow it in your schedule. Yoga isn’t just some modern trend craze. Not only has it been scientifically proven to manage stress and promote health, it’s a fun and often easy-going gig, whether teaching part time or full. YogaFit (and founder Beth Shaw have aimed to bring healing yoga to the masses since it’s founding. The belief that yoga is a gift for the body and mind, and that sharing this practice with others will aid in personal growth has inspired many to join the movement. It is said when one teaches, two grow. YogaFit is the largest yoga fitness education school in the world with more than 200,000 instructors trained on six continents. Each year across North America, a dozen Mind-Body-Fitness Conferences, and an average of 800 yoga teacher trainings give people the tools to become yoga instructors. Our 80 highly skilled Master Trainers work diligently to improve the health, skillset, performance, and mental balance of those they are training to teach. YogaFit partners with the American Council on Exercise, Can Fit Pro, many other health and wellness organizations and is required by several college yoga programs throughout the United States. Colleges and universities embrace the warmth of YogaFit principally for the safety and inclusiveness engrained in the teaching style. Based on fitness principles developed in the best selling book YogaFit, we set ourselves apart within the industry with safety modifications to common poses, taking into account the importance of healing bodies. The goal is for each student to have the most healthy mind and body possible. The acceptance, lack of competition, and exclusion of expectations gives teachers the opportunity to create a unique and more peaceful environment. In addition, YogaFit stresses the idea that yoga is open to each and every person who feels the call to practice. Since YogaFit works to remove all competitiveness from the minds of those practicing, our trainers are instructed on tending to those who may need more help during class. Getting away from the college life of competition, stereotypes and expectations? What a relief! Every student has the right to this beneficial practice and the spreading of its light. YogaFit continues to open this opportunity to students by hosting trainings on campus in some areas. What better job for your college schedule than teaching yoga? Earn cash while reaping the physical and mental benefits! Most college jobs require blocks of hours at a time, which can clog up a student’s schedule. Book just one hour per day, or however many classes you want to! Being a yoga instructor allows the perfect daily length of time to focus on one’s body, wallet, and your last assignment. For students who don’t have access to work study jobs or off-campus employment, teaching yoga is the most convenient way to make money. Colleges that require their students to be trained through YogaFit find that the same safe and inclusive pattern is found embodied from class to class. This consideration for the comfort of individuals in the class is tradition at YogaFit. Join the family of instructors and get your dream job in college.

States are commonly blamed for wars, called on to apologize, held liable for debts and reparations, bound by treaties, and punished with sanctions. But what does it mean to hold a state responsible as opposed to a government, a nation, or an individual leader? Under what circumstances should we assign responsibility to states rather than individuals? Leviathan on a Leash demystifies the phenomenon of state responsibility and explains why it is a challenging yet indispensable part of modern politics. Taking Thomas Hobbes’ theory of the state as his starting point, Sean Fleming presents a theory of state responsibility that sheds new light on sovereign debt, historical reparations, treaty obligations, and economic sanctions. Along the way, he overturns longstanding interpretations of Hobbes’ political thought, explores how new technologies will alter the practice of state responsibility as we know it, and develops new accounts of political authority, representation, and legitimacy. He argues that Hobbes’ idea of the state offers a far richer and more realistic conception of state responsibility than the theories prevalent today, and demonstrates that Hobbes’ Leviathan is much more than an anthropomorphic “artificial man.” Leviathan on a Leash is essential reading for political theorists, scholars of international relations, international lawyers, and philosophers. This groundbreaking book recovers a forgotten understanding of state personality in Hobbes’ thought and shows how to apply it to the world of imperfect states in which we live.
Accra, Oct 03, GNA – BasicNeeds-Ghana, a mental health advocacy organisation, has held a two-day training workshop on mental health and disability mainstreaming and inclusion reporting for media professionals in Accra. The workshop is part of the Ghana Somubi Dwumadie (Ghana Participation Programme), which is being funded by the UK Government. The Ghana Somubi Dwumadie is a four-year inclusion programme run by Options Consultancy Limited in partnership with BasicNeeds-Ghana, Kings College London, Sightsavers International and Tropical Health. It focuses on four key areas, Promoting stronger policies and systems that respect the rights of people with disabilities, including people with mental health disabilities; and Scaling-up high quality and accessible mental health services. The rest are reducing stigma and discrimination against people with disabilities, including mental health disabilities; and generating evidence to inform policy and practice on the effectiveness of disability and mental health programmes and interventions. According to the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), persons with disabilities include those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which in interaction with various barriers may hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others. The World Bank, 2016, “Ghana: Social Protection Assessment and Public Expenditure Review” revealed that 20 per cent of the population are with some form of disability in Ghana. Mr Fred Nantogmah, Knowledge Management and Communications Officer, BasicNeeds-Ghana, who spoke on the topic “Things to Consider When Finding the Stories and the Sources on Disability,” said the disability community was a multi-cultural, multi-faceted community; including members of every marginalized group. He noted that disabilities could be both visible and invisible and that anyone could become mentally ill or disabled at any point in their lives. He reiterated that journalists interest in people with disability should be based on principle. Mr Nantogmah, who urged journalists to seek out actual people with disability to talk about disability also advised them to broaden their coverage of stories about disability. He also noted that they were undertaking a range of activities to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people with disabilities, including mental health disabilities. Madam Lydia Dwan-Kamara, Team Leader, Ghana Somubi Dwumadie, said the workshop aimed to equip journalists with the knowledge on how to report on people with disabilities and mental health issues without hurting people’s feelings. She appealed to journalists to be sensitive in their reportage on people with disabilities or mental health issues. Mr Peter Kwasi Anomah-Kordieh, the Programme Advisor on Disability Inclusion, Ghana Somubi Dwumadie, said writing about disability was complicated and required sensitivity. “If you are in doubt about how to refer to a person, ask the person and if you cannot ask the person, do not avoid writing about disability.” He advised media professionals to refer to a disability only when it was relevant to the story and when the diagnosis comes from a reputable source, such as a medical professional or other licensed professional. “When possible, use people-first language unless otherwise indicated by the source. When possible, ask the source how he or she would like to be described.” Mr Nurudeen Salifu, Communications Manager, Ghana Somubi Dwumadie, said the study had shown that globally, there was a high incidence of poverty among persons with disabilities as compared to those without disabilities. He intimated that persons without disabilities in terms of their vulnerability to mental health were much lower as compared to those with disabilities. He, therefore, advocated for the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals for with persons with disabilities.
Television: Opiate of the Masses By: Wes Moore It satellite links Our United States of Unconsciousness Apathetic therapeutic and extremely addictive The methadone metronome pumping out 150 channels 24 hours a day You can flip through all of them And still there's nothing worth watching ~~ Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy , Television, Drug of a Nation Momma's gonna make all of your nightmares come true Momma's gonna put all of her fears into you Momma's gonna keep you right here under her wing She won't let you fly but she might let you sing Momma's gonna keep baby cozy and warm. ~~ Pink Floyd , Mother Aright junkies, I know you don't like staring at long strands of motionless text, and I know it's a struggle for you to analyze and comprehend the meaning of complex sequences of words. But if you give me just a few minutes, I will let you in on a little secret that marketers and governments have been relying on for decades. That television you watch every day, your secret best friend, is an addictive opiate, and not only that, it's one of the most potent mind control devices ever produced. And I'm not just basing this on intuition. I have the neurological evidence to prove it. Although the definitions are vague and somewhat misleading, the word "addiction" usually refers to a psychological or physical dependence on a particular experience that must be repeated in order for a person to be comfortable. Usually, we think about this in terms of chemical addiction, which occurs when the addict's chemical of choice reorganizes the nervous system so that it requires the presence of that chemical to operate smoothly. Of course, not all addictions are chemical. Any behavior that leads to a pleasurable experience will be repeated , especially if that behavior requires little work. Psychologists call this pattern "positive reinforcement" . This is what we mean, technically speaking, by addiction. In this sense, television certainly fits into the category of an addictive agent. When you watch TV, brain activity switches from the left to the right hemisphere. In fact, experiments conducted by researcher Herbert Krugman showed that while viewers are watching television, the right hemisphere is twice as active as the left, a neurological anomaly. The crossover from left to right releases a surge of the body's natural opiates: endorphins, which include beta-endorphins and enkephalins. Endorphins are structurally identical to opium and its derivatives (morphine, codeine, heroin, etc.). Activities that release endorphins (also called opioid peptides) are usually habit-forming (we rarely call them addictive). These include cracking knuckles, strenuous exercise, and orgasm. External opiates act on the same receptor sites (opioid receptors) as endorphins, so there is little difference between the two. In fact, strenuous exercise, which produces the nominal "runner's high"- a release of endorphins that flood the system, can be highly addictive, to the point where "addicts" who abruptly stop exercising experience opiate-withdrawal symptoms, namely migraine headaches. These migraines are caused by a dysfunction in opioid receptors, which are accustomed to the steady influx of endorphins. Indeed, even casual television viewers experience such opiate-withdrawal symptoms if they stop watching TV for a prolonged period of time. An article from South Africa's Eastern Province Herald (October 1975) described two experiments in which people from various socio-economic milieus were asked to stop watching television. In one experiment, several families volunteered to turn off their TV's for just one month. The poorest family gave in after one week, and the others suffered from depression, saying they felt as though they had "lost a friend." In the other experiment, 182 West Germans agreed to kick their television viewing habit for a year, with the added bonus of payment. None could resist the urge longer than six months, and over time all of the participants showed the symptoms of opiate-withdrawal: increased anxiety, frustration, and depression. The signs of addiction are all around us. The average American watches over four hours of television every day, and 49% of those continue to watch despite admitting to doing it excessively. These are the classic indicators of an addict in denial: addicts know they're doing harm to themselves, but continue to use the drug regardless. Recent studies on laboratory rats show that opioid-receptor stimulants induce addictive behaviors. The evidence is conclusive: all opioids are addictive! Even the ones your body produces naturally. The television set works as a high-tech drug delivery system, and we all feel its effects. The question is, can an addiction to television be destructive? The answer we receive from modern science is a resounding "Yes!" First of all, when you're watching television the higher brain regions (like the midbrain and the neo-cortex) are shut down, and most activity shifts to the lower brain regions (like the limbic system). The neurological processes that take place in these regions cannot accurately be called "cognitive." The lower or reptile brain simply stands poised to react to the environment using deeply embedded "fight or flight" response programs. Moreover, these lower brain regions cannot distinguish reality from fabricated images (a job performed by the neo-cortex), so they react to television content as though it were real, releasing appropriate hormones and so on. Studies have proven that, in the long run, too much activity in the lower brain leads to atrophy in the higher brain regions. It is interesting to note that the lower/reptile/limbic brain correlates to the bio-survival circuit of the Leary /Wilson 8 Circuit Model of Consciousness. This is our primal circuit, the base "presence" that we normally associate with consciousness. This is the circuit where we receive our first neurological imprint (the oral imprint), which conditions us to advance toward anything warm, pleasurable and/or protective in the environment. The bio-survival circuit is our most infantile, our most primal way of dealing with reality. A person obsessed with the pursuit of physical pleasure is probably fixated on this circuit; in fact the Freudians believed an opium addiction was an attempt to return to the womb. We could logically deduce that such addictions occur when higher brain functions are anesthetized and the newly dominant lower brain seeks out pleasure at any cost. Taking this into account, television is Herbert Krugman's research proved that watching television numbs the left brain and leaves the right brain to perform all cognitive duties. This has some harrowing implications for the effects of television on brain development and health. For one, the left hemisphere is the critical region for organizing, analyzing, and judging incoming data. The right brain treats incoming data uncritically, and it does not decode or divide information into its component parts. The right brain processes information in wholes, leading to emotional rather than intelligent responses. We cannot rationally attend to the content presented on television because that part of our brain is not in operation. It is therefore unsurprising that people rarely comprehend what they see on television, as was shown by a study conducted by researcher Jacob Jacoby. Jacoby found that, out of 2,700 people tested, 90% misunderstood what they watched on television only minutes before. As yet there is no explanation as to why we switch to the right brain while viewing television, but we do know this phenomenon is immune to content. For a brain to comprehend and communicate complex meaning, it must be in a state of "chaotic disequilibrium." This means that there must be a dynamic flow of communication between all of the regions of the brain, which facilitates the comprehension of higher levels of order (breaking conceptual thresholds), and leads to the formation of complex ideas. High levels of chaotic brain activity are present during challenging tasks like reading, writing, and working mathematical equations in your head. They are not present while watching TV. Levels of brain activity are measured by an electroencenograph (EEG) machine. While watching television, the brain appears to slow to a halt, registering low alpha wave readings on the EEG. This is caused by the radiant light produced by cathode ray technology within the television set. Even if you're reading text on a television screen the brain registers low levels of activity. Once again, regardless of the content being presented, television essentially turns off your nervous system. In addition to its devastating neurological effects, television can be harmful to your sense of self-worth, your perception of your environment , and your physical health. Recent surveys have shown that 75% of American women think they are overweight, likely the result of watching chronically thin actresses and models four hours a day. Television has also spawned a "culture of fear" in the U.S. and beyond, with its focus on the limbic brain-friendly sensationalism of violent programming. Studies have shown that people of all generations greatly overestimate the threat of violence in real life. This is no shock because their brains cannot discern reality from fiction while watching TV. Television is bad for your body as well. Obesity, sleep deprivation, and stunted sensory development are all common among television addicts. So I hope we've firmly established that television is an addictive drug, one that is no better than opium, heroin, or any other opiate. Television is just as (and possibly even more) harmful to the body-brain as every other drug. But there's one big difference. All other drugs apparently pose a threat to the established social order. Television, however, is a drug that is actually essential to maintaining the social infrastructure. Why? Because it brainwashes consumers to throw money at the gaping void of their meaningless, terror-filled lives. And by brainwashed, I mean they've been hypnotized using very subtle and established techniques which, when coupled with television's natural effects on brain waves, make for the most ambitious psychological engineering ruse ever concocted. Psychophysiologist Thomas Mulholland found that after just 30 seconds of watching television the brain begins to produce alpha waves , which indicates torpid (almost comatose) rates of activity. Alpha brain waves are associated with unfocused, overly receptive states of consciousness. A high frequency alpha waves does not occur normally when the eyes are open. In fact, Mulholland's research implies that watching television is neurologically analogous to staring at a blank wall. I should note that the goal of hypnotists is to induce slow brain wave states. Alpha waves are present during the "light hypnotic" state used by hypno-therapists for suggestion therapy. When Mulholland's research was published it greatly impacted the television industry, at least in the marketing and advertising sector. Realizing viewers automatically enter a trance state while watching television, marketers began designing commercials that produce unconscious emotional states or moods within the viewer. The aim of commercials is not to appeal to the rational or conscious mind (which usually dismisses advertisements) but rather to implant moods that the consumer will associate with the product when it is encountered in real life. When we see product displays at a store, for instance, those positive emotions are triggered . Endorsements from beloved athletes and other celebrities evoke the same associations. If you've ever doubted the power of television advertising, bear this in mind: commercials work better if you're not paying attention to them! An addictive mind control device . . . what more could a government or profit-driven corporation ask for? But the really sad thing about television is that it turns everyone into a zombie, no one is immune. There is no higher order of super-intelligent, nefarious beings behind this. It's the product of our very human desire to alter our state of consciousness and escape the hardships of reality . While AdBusters has their highly ineffectual TV Turnoff Week , I'd like to announce a campaign of my own. Starting next week, we will celebrate what I like to call TV Pawn-Off Week. I encourage you all to sell your televisions, and use the money to buy some books . We're living in a Brave New World , only it's not so brave, or even that new. In fact, it's starting to look more and more like the Dark Ages, with the preliterate zombie masses obeying the authority of the new clergy: Regis Philbin and Jerry Springer .

Upland waters damaged by acid rain are beginning to recover according to research published today. Academics from the UCL Environmental Change Research Centre (ECRC), and colleagues from UK research institutions undertook the study for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). The report’s conclusion is based on data from the Acid Waters Monitoring Network (AWMN), a Defra — and Devolved Authority — funded research network of 22 lakes and streams that have been studied closely by scientists over the last 22 years. However, while the evidence for chemical recovery is strong, the report suggests there is a long way to go before the plant and animal communities in these systems will be restored to full health, and there is concern that other factors, such as climate change, might mask, slow down or even prevent a full recovery. Emeritus Professor Rick Battarbee said: “We have been carefully monitoring acidified upland lakes and streams in the UK for over 20 years, ever since the decision by the Thatcher government to introduce controls on the emissions of acid gases from coal and oil burning power stations. “We are now seeing clear evidence of decreasing acidity in our upland waters, and at last the plant and animal communities, including fish populations, are beginning to recover. However, we still have a very long way to go to return these systems to full health, and there is real concern that a full recovery might be prevented by climate change. “In particular, our modelling suggests that the increase in winter precipitation predicted for UK upland regions in future may decrease the ability of lakes and streams to neutralise acidity and that additional controls on the emissions of acid gases, especially nitrogen oxides, may be necessary. “More generally these results underline conclusions from other studies we have conducted in the ECRC that our freshwaters are threatened by many different pressures and that attempts to restore them require us to understand not only the individual impact of those pressures but also how they interact, especially with climate change. “They also illustrate the importance of high quality, long-term ecological networks that we need to monitor, measure and model environmental change. These results have proved the value of such networks, and it is critical that Defra and other sponsors maintain their funding support for it and enable it to be further developed to track future changes in upland water quality and biodiversity.” Over the last 20 years there have been major reductions in the emissions of sulphur and nitrogen gases from power stations and other sources across the UK and Europe. This has caused a significant reduction in acid deposition and a consequent improvement in water quality at all acidified sites. Aquatic plant and animal communities are now recovering, as shown by changes in diatom (algal) populations, the re-appearance of plant species at many sites, an increase in the abundance of some insect species and the reappearance of snail populations. Native brown trout, a prominent casualty of acidification, have returned to a few of the most acidified sites and have increased in abundance at others. Despite the improvement, biological recovery is still limited and there is a concern that it might not be sustained, falling short of the targets set by the main legislative programmes. The results of the research illustrate the importance of the monitoring network, not only in tracking responses to the reduction in acid rain but in providing early warning of overall changes in the health of the upland environment, including water quality and aquatic biodiversity, caused by these new, additional and interacting pressures.

Miss Kayla, as she was affectionately called, was born in the cold snow. As a newborn, she lived outside in a steel-fenced dog pen on the side of a mountain in Little Gap. Kayla came from a “bad breeder,” who sold puppies for money when the dogs were not “health guaranteed.” Kayla came to Kathryn and Ben with a deformed pad on her left hind leg. It was through multiple examinations and x-rays that revealed that Kayla had the worst hip of about of 65 other Pyr’s examined at the University of Pennsylvania. Kayla’s mom and dad took the “bad breeder” to court. Kayla was declared a “legal lemon” and was allowed to live at The Gress Mountain Ranch, with her human and animal family. Kayla did just that and 200% more! She had a Total hip replacement had a young age which took her through her 14 years. Miss Kayla managed to overcome her physical handicap and go about her important work. As with all Great Pyrenees dogs, Kayla’s purpose in life was to guard livestock. It’s what they do; keeping animals safe from bears and wolves. However, one of Kayla’s most significant attributes was a as a “therapy” dog, (a Canine Good Citizen). Kayla was oh so sweet, kind, and beautiful inside and outside. Kayla took her job very seriously. As a young adult dog, she didn’t let hip dysplasia or loose laxity hold her back. Even the deformed pad that made walking difficult never got in Kayla’s way. She roamed among the alpacas at The Gress Mountain Ranch, and they loved her. She watched over us all and kept the goats company. And even though she outweighed most of them by 97 pounds, Kayla even gently monitored the rabbits’ and guinea pigs’ activities. LeRoy Piggy, the pot-bellied pig probably owes his life to Kayla’s fast response in a dangerous situation. The pig was outside enjoying a pear, oblivious to the young Rocky, the other Great Pyrenees dog who had an unknown food aggression problem. Rocky who wanted to eat food, broke his lead and was hurling toward LeRoy to eat the pear. Kathryn Gress, Ranch owner and animal trainer, was feeding the horses, too far away to intervene in time. But she saw what was going to happen and yelled to Kayla, “Save the pig!” In spite of never hearing this command before, Kayla jumped into action and threw herself at the larger and now threatening Rocky. LeRoy Piggy and Kathryn are forever grateful. Kayla saved the day in another pig-related episode. As a baby pig, Pearl Piggy, was freely wandering in the yard. A huge and hungry hawk was considering this little pig for lunch. Kathryn observed the bird circling above. As it began to swoop down toward the piglet, Kathryn shouted, “Kayla, get the bird!” It sent Kayla into a guard motion. Kayla literally jumped up into the air and startled the hawk away. Kathryn, the hawk, and probably Kayla too, were all surprised to see that Great Pyrenees could fly! The piglet continued to eat her apple. Kayla considered her owner as a member of the livestock community, needing to be guarded too. During a walk in a park with Kathryn one day, Kayla sensed danger. She became unnaturally quiet and repeatedly turned to look behind. It turns out that they were being quietly followed by a man dressed all in black with a hooded shirt and ski mask. Kayla’s loud barking, lunging and growling sent the man fleeing. Kayla spent much of her life as a therapy dog too. Trained to work with people who have physical and psychological disadvantages, Kayla helped them get better. She visited hospitals and institutions, bringing tranquility to therapy sessions and lessening aggression and anxiety. Kayla patiently worked with one little girl who had been traumatized by a dog attack. With sensitivity to the girl’s feelings and quietness and gentleness, Kayla was able help the girl overcome her fear. As she aged, Kayla’s health problems worsened. Her hearing became impaired and Kathryn had to communicate with the dog through hand signals and other gestures. Kayla’s old hip problem and now arthritis made it difficult to move around, but she still wanted to participate in parades and continue to help humans. She did that till the very end of her amazing life at the ranch. Kayla lived a full and purposeful life. She died peacefully at home among the animals and humans she loved. Those who knew her will miss Kayla terribly, but we are all ever so grateful for having had her in our lives.
Eating the fried fish is part of the whole experience of fishing; I bring home the tastiest fish that I catch, I fillet them and then I deep fry enough of them to feed my entire family. Deep frying fish is a tradition in my family that goes back generations. I realize that this is not exactly the healthy heart meal, but deep-fried crappies, deep-fried potatoes, cole slaw and potato salad. What a great way to end a fantastic day. My father always used to tell me that fantastic fried fish begins with fantastic fish. My two favorite kinds of fish to eat are crappies and walleyes. If you want your fish to taste great you have to keep them fresh. the best way to keep them fresh is to keep them alive. I put the fish into my livewell and keep recirculating the water in it throughout the day. On my way home I will buy a bag of ice and put it into the livewell to keep the water cold for the drive home. You do not want your fish to become too hot because they will die and begin to decompose almost immediately. If you don't have a livewell, keep the fish on ice. Keep them in the water until you are ready to drive home and then place them in your cooler and pack them in ice. Once again, a fish that is kept cold will taste better because it has not had a chance to decompose yet. The next secret that I would like to discuss with you is to eat as many of the fish as soon as you can. It might sound barbaric but, fish that have been killed with the fillet knife always taste the best. The moral of that old adage is that fresh fish will always taste better than fish that have sat in the freezer. The next step is the cleaning of the fish. the best piece of advice that I can give you is to for the cleaning is to have a bucket of water next to you and to clean the meat as soon as you separate it from the fish. Take the meat that you are going to eat into the kitchen and freeze any of it that is not going to be eaten immediately. Freeze the fish in freezer bags with a little bit of water. Ensure that all of the air is removed from the bags and then place them flat on a shelf in your freezer. You can stack the bags after the meat is frozen, but until then I prefer to have them sitting flat in a shelf because they will freeze more quickly. What this all means to you is that what you do with your fish from the time that you catch them until the time that you throw them into the hot oil will determine how good they taste. Fish that are kept correctly, cleaned correctly, frozen correctly and then stored correctly will taste better! Now for the nuts and bolts of fried fish. That is the fried fish recipe. Every avid outdoorsman has his own recipe for fried fish batter, mine is much more simple than most. I like to use Aunt Jemima Buttermilk pancake Batter. I add a few spices and that is it. Here is how I do it: 1) Cut your fish fillets into bite sized pieces and have them on the counter. 2) Dip the fillet into a dish that has raw eggs in it. Immerse the fillet so the egg sticks to it. This will enable the batter to stick to it. 3) Have your batter in a large bowl. Drop your fillet into the batter. Take it and roll it over several times, ensuring that it is completely covered with the batter. 4) Drop several pieces of the batter-covered fillets into your deep-fryer. Watch the fish as it cooks. Fish that is done will float to the top. This is the most important part of frying fish. You must monitor the color of the batter on the fillets. I like to take them out once they turn tan. Tan fish fillets will be moist and tender. If you allow them to cook until they are golden brown, the fish will be dry and tough. My dad was exactly correct when he said that fantastic fried fish begins with fantastic fish. I have given you several tips here that will make your next fish fry fantastic and unforgettable instead of just good!
It is my prediction that technology will be increasingly used by schools to monitor students’ progress, performance and behaviour, taking advantage of the power of technology to quickly analyse data, spot trends and flag anomalies – which, when done manually by teachers with hundreds of students, can be a nigh on impossible task. Many companies have devised clever ways of reducing the administrative “I anticipate that more schools will be looking to digitise the way they manage their students.” burden weighing heavily on teachers’ shoulders by digitally monitoring students’ academic, social and interpersonal performance. As the benefits of this method of analysing progress and behaviour are being realised, I anticipate that more and more schools will be looking to update and digitise the way they report on and manage their students. The ability provided by technology to maintain comprehensive records on students’ grades, any special educational needs, areas of strength and improvement, behavioural issues and so on means that, if a student acts out of character or if their performance takes a dip, this can be swiftly spotted and acted upon. For instance, a device that monitors students’ behaviour and academic performance in each class, alongside other factors such as where they’re sat in the classroom, who they’re working with, how long it’s been since they last had a break and so on, will be able to automatically spot trends. As such, teachers can easily identify which factors may be inhibiting a student’s performance, such as the fact that they’re positioned at the back of the class, next to someone they don’t get along with, or they haven’t had a break for three hours. By making it easier for these trends to be spotted, teachers are able to react more quickly and spend more time resolving any issues which are preventing students from making the most of their education. It is my view that, with edgy technology so proliferate, schools will now start to look beyond the flashy gimmicks and quirky features, and instead focus their attention on digital resources that reduce the heavy workloads that teachers are facing and help them to effectively and efficiently monitor student progress and performance. The conversations I have with schools suggest that, with limited budgets, they aren’t interested in the latest high-tech fad; they want digital solutions to everyday concerns and ones which make it easier for them to enhance the education of the children in their care, so they can help all of them to reach their full potential. And to me, that makes perfect sense. Do you use technology to monitor these aspects of learning? Let us know below.
Plain English Summary Background and study aims This study will assess the impact of Sunaula Hazar Din (SHD), a program implemented by the Government of Nepal. SHD uses the Rapid Results Approach (RRA) to improve nutritional indicators of pregnant women and children 0 to 24 months old, as well as family planning of women aged 15-25 years old. The evaluation will measure its effect on nutritional attitudes and outcomes. RRA is a results-focused learning process aimed at jump-starting major change efforts and enhancing implementation capacity. The approach creates motivation and confidence by defining goals and monitoring results in short periods (usually 100 days) and mobilizing communities to act and coordinate. Who can participate? Children 0-24 months and their mothers, pregnant women, and women aged 15-25 years old who live in selected Village Development Committees across 15 districts of Nepal. What does the study involve? Over a period of 18 months, SHD will be implemented in randomly selected Village Development Committees. Community members can voluntarily participate in the activities organized by SHD in their Village Development Committee. Interviews and anthropometric measurements (such as height and weight) of children will be carried out at the start of the study and 24 months later to find out the impact of SHD on family planning and nutritional indicators. What are the possible benefits and risks of participating? Participants who live in a Village Development Committee which has been randomly chosen to receive the programme will benefit from the activities of SHD in their community. We do not anticipate risks related to participation in the study. Where is the study run from? The study is run from Village Development Committees across 15 districts of Nepal. When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for? Initial information will be collected in August 2013 and program implementation is expected to start in December 2013. Final data collection is expected to start in August 2015. Who is funding the study? The World Bank, USA. Who is the main contact? 1. Dr Emla Fitzsimons (firstname.lastname@example.org) 2.

Today I celebrate Samhain, the Pagan holy day of celebrating those who came before us. It's a day to reflect and remember. Let's take a moment to remember all those women writers who came before us. Some of them, only their words and fragments of their work survives...their name is lost to the winds of history. But let's speak of herstory today. Let us remember those ghosts and imagine their faces. Their names lost to us perhaps just because they were women or maybe because they were wild women by the standards of their day, even thought as such because they dared to write and express their deepest selves. Let us give them a place in our memory for what is remembered lives. Virginia Woolf knew where we could find them so we could put them back into history...herstory. “When, however, one reads of a witch being ducked, of a woman possessed by devils, of a wise woman selling herbs, or even of a very remarkable man who had a mother, then I think we are on the track of a lost novelist, a suppressed poet, of some mute and inglorious Jane Austen, some Emily Bronte who dashed her brains out on the moor or mopped and mowed about the highways crazed with the torture that her gift had put her to. Indeed, I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.” ― Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth. Cloudy skies, the dark of the moon, an obscure future. How are all these a blessing? Cloudy skies often mean rain, and we did get some much needed rain here today in Southern California. The dark of the moon is a time of rest and it means a new moon is coming. The new moon represents a time of beginnings. An obscure future means that anything is possible. I often want certainty, but the only thing I can be certain of is what I want, and today I spent some time thinking and feeling through what that is. To write and make a living from it is what I want. And so on this New Moon I declare that I am committed to writing above all else. This blog represents a new beginning. Today I am blessed. What do you really want? Will you begin today? Learning to Live
We offer preparatory classes for children from 3 to 6 years. We provide a safe and warm environment in addition to learn where children will develop a culture of thinking in a bilingual media. Our goal is to help children who are in the U.S. here on tourist visas from Russia and the Ukraine and who are waiting the resolution of a new status and preparing to go to American School System in future succeed to rising expectations of Florida State Standards. Preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary classes require and expect children to master several high-level skills. Our curriculum mirrors these expectations, but puts the concepts into a context that is fun and achievable for the child. Our approach is that children learn best through educational games, music, and innovative practices and combination with pencil-paper activities. We believe that children will gain a positive attitude towards earning and build confidence and self-esteem if the concepts are taught in an enjoyable and developmentally appropriate method in a comfortable school like atmosphere. Our team of Educators supports a bilingual idea of education: if non-English speaking students are educated in both their native language and English, they will learn English in a more organic and efficient manner improving both the student’s skills in English and the mother tongue. The child who is exposed to multiple languages in an academic environment will not feel ashamed to use his or her native language and will consequently be a more receptive frame mind to learn and faster English.

According to recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median age of the U.S. labor force was 42 years in 2016, up from 38 in 1996, and it’s projected to keep climbing. This is an alarming trend for the United States as our population is ageing. As per the Journal of Political Economy, Entrepreneurship requires energy and creativity as well as business acumen. Some factors that contribute to entrepreneurship decline with age, but business skills increase with experience in high-level positions. Having too many older workers in society slows entrepreneurship. When older workers occupy key positions, they block younger workers from acquiring skills. A theory is formulated and tested using the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor data. A one standard deviation decrease in a country’s median age increases new business formation by 2.5 percentage points, which is about 40 percent of the mean rate. Furthermore, older societies have lower rates of entrepreneurship at every age So is the answer for constant innovation, younger societies? To measure entrepreneurship, if we were to look at two data points a. Entrepreneurship enablement within countries b. Median Age of entrepreneurs in these countries We invariably assume that younger people are more willing to take risks, are more open to different busienss models and also more unincumbered. The other important factor is gaining business acumen. Professional experience can only be gained through being in decision making positions. In countries with younger population, more young people in the workforce, leads to more younger people in decision making positions faster. A case in point stated in the study is Brazil and Japan, both large economies. Brazil is one of the youngest of the large economies, with a median age of 26. Japan’s median age is 44. The rate of entrepreneurship in Brazil is over five times that of Japan. So in Japan, at 30 you have invariably just started your career ; however; in Brazil, at 30 you have probably been in a decision making position for a longer time already. The younger you are when you acquire your skills, the more likely you will use them extensively and the more time you will have to build upon those skills. That’s why Silicon Valley had so much business formation. It has all these young people who acquired these tremendous skills quickly, then they left wherever they were, went out, and started businesses of their own Diversity of immigration from countries where there are more younger people ( like India) , is visible in the number of companies started and the rate of success of these immigrants.

The ensemble focuses on much older music, dating from the 12th century or before. The reason that the ensemble has turned to music from the pen of Manfred Barbarini Lupus is that stylistically it is rather old-fashioned. In his liner-notes Stefan Johannes Morent puts the music into its historical context. It is closely connected to the convent of St Gallen to which the ensemble has already devoted another disc, "Sequences, tropes & Gregorian chants from St Gall Abbey" from the pen of The entry on Barbarini Lupus in New Grove consists of merely two paragraphs. He was born in Correggio, near Reggio Emilia, in Italy. In 1557 he became Kantor in Locarno in Switzerland. On his travels northwards he met the Fugger brothers in Augsburg and at Freiburg he probably met the theorist Glarean. It is probably also on one of his travels that he visited the monastery at St Gall as its abbot, Diethelm Blarer, commissioned him to compose four-part arrangements of the chants used in the monastery. That is also the last sign of his existence. It was Blarer who attempted to restore the liturgical practice in the monastery which had gone through rough times in the early 15th century. The Counter-Reformation which was the Roman Catholic Church's response to the Lutheran Reformation was a further incentive to his attempts to save the central place of the traditional chant. This place was not only in danger as the result of the Reformation - which also took place in Switzerland, under the leadership of Ulrich Zwingli - but also as a result of musical developments: the dissemination of the art of the Franco-Flemish school with its polyphonic webs in which chant, if present, was often hardly discernible. This explains the way Barbarini treated the material in his settings. "Except in a few cases, the plainchant on which each piece is based is notated in Gothic neumes in the tenor part, while the surrounding parts - Discantus, Altus and Bassus - are written in white mensural notation. The rhythm of the tenor is such that every note of the plainchant is given in equal semibreves. This special form of composition and notation was not an invention of Barbarini's, nor of St. Gallen. It is already documented in tracts and certain compositions (such as the Jena Choirbook 35) from around 1500." Morent also emphasizes that this relatively simple polyphony does not indicate that St Gallen was not acquainted with the compositions of the Franco-Flemish school nor that the monks were unable to sing more demanding music. It is interesting that the music by Barbarini was included in two choirbooks and that Blarer commissioned a conventual of St Gallen, Mauritius Enck, to write the "apologetic prefaces" in the two books. He had studied in Paris and with Glarean in Freiburg. "Enck writes that the particular connection of cantus planus and musica figurativa, such as is found in the two codices with Barbarini's music, results in a cantus coagulatus. The various translations possible for "coagulatus"- "coagulated", "converged", "agglutinated", here convey the central, immutable role and position of the chant, and the compositional principle of bringing together what is in fact disparate". This disc includes a number of liturgical works, divided into three sections. The largest part is entitled "In festo Sancti Galli", referring to the saint who settled as a hermit in Gallen and is considered the founder of the convent. It opens with music for Vespers, and continues with music "Ad missam". Here we not only hear the Ordinary but also the Propers: Introitus, Alleluia, Sequentia, Offertorium and Communio. Many chants are of an alternatim character: the verses are alternately sung in plainchant and in polyphony. Some settings are in fauxbourdon style, such as the Magnificat. In this recording the organ plays a prominent role. The organ tablature of the St Gallen organist Fridolin Sicher (1490-1546) documents the role of the organ in the liturgy of the monastery. In Blarer's time the organist was Heinrich Keller who also copied Barbarini's music. He added the indications chorus and organum to the vocal parts. It means that the organist can play the sections marked with organum in the way of intabulations, either alternately or together with the singers. In this recording Roland Götz made his own intabulations in the style of the 16th century. In the Gloria the verses are alternately sung - in polyphony - and played. In the sequence Christe sanctis unicaspes the even verses are sung polyphonically, the odd verses are performed by the tenor, singing the cantus firmus, with the organ taking care of the remaining parts. The latter practice is also followed in the last piece on this disc, the sequence Sancti Spiritus, for the feast of Nother Balbulus, monk and teacher of the convent around 1000. Before that we hear a hymn for the feast of St Otmar, the real founder and first abbot of St Gallen: Rector eterni comprises eight stanzas which are sung alternately in plainchant and in polyphonic settings by Barbarini. The Ensemble Ordo Virtutum focuses on liturgical music, especially music as written and performed at convents in the Middle Ages. This disc, with its repertoire which it stylistically close to what was written and sung some centuries earlier, fits well into its field of expertise. This is music which is largely ignored by the vocal ensembles specializing in renaissance polyphony. If Barbarini's mass as sung here would be performed separately it would probably be considered as too simple or even, as Morent writes, "substandard". This kind of repertoire needs a liturgical and historical context and exactly that makes productions like this so worthwhile. If you just want to listen to a complex polyphonic fabric, stay away from this disc. But if you are interested in early liturgical practices and want to learn about how liturgical music was used on a day to day basis in St Gallen - but also, mutatis mutandis, in other convents and in churches - this disc is a highly interesting and compelling addition to your collection. It is regrettable that the booklet omits English translations of the lyrics, though. The singing of the plainchant is excellent, as always, and for this recording Morent has invited four fine singers who have perfectly grasped the character of the polyphony and whose voices blend immaculately. Roland Götz deserves accolades for his creating and playing of the intabulations.

I created this plural nouns SCOOT! packet with differentiated small groups in mind, which is why there are several grade level standards listed. However, I know sometimes it is easier to play with a whole class. Therefore, there are several different answer board types for your use. ELACCKL1:c. Form regular plural nouns orally by adding /s/ or /es/ (e.g., dog, dogs; wish, wishes) when speaking. ELACC1L1c. Use singular and plural nouns with matching verbs in basic sentences (e.g., He hops; We hop). ELACC2L1b. Form and use frequently occurring irregular plural nouns (e.g., feet, children, teeth, mice, fish). ELACC3L1b. Form and use regular and irregular plural nouns. Scoot!: How to Play Scoot is a versatile game that can be played in a whole group or small group setting to review, practice, or introduce skills to students. In this particular game, students will be playing to review contractions. More specifically, students will take the singular noun/ word and write it in its correct plural form on the answer sheet. Prep: -Cut out and laminate cards (only need one set) -Copy 1 answer sheet for each student. How to play: -Give each student an answer board -Place one card at each student’s desk -Prior to play, decide whether you want students to get up and move to the next card, or you want the card to be passed. Personally, I have the students physically get up and move because of the fun kinesthetic aspect. Also, decide which order/ direction you want the students to move. Instruct student prior to play about how you want everything to move. -Students begin with the card on in front of them. Read the sentence. Mentally make note of the underlined word, and write down the part of speech it is on the answer board. - After a set amount of time, the teacher says, “SCOOT!” Students then move seats/ pass cards. -At the end of the game, check the work. This can be done whole group, or on your own. Answer Board 1-25 Answer Board 1-30 (2 pages) Answer Board 1-10 Answer Board 1-20 The board you choose is dictated by how many questions you want to use and how many students you have.

Main text: Steven Hastings Illustration: Jan Martin Additional research: Sarah Jenkins Next week: Family breakdown Did you know? * Anyone can set up as a private tutor * More than a quarter of 11 to 18-year-olds have had one at some point during their schooling, most of them for maths * But the fastest growing market is at key stages 1 and 2 * Some tutors charge up to pound;40 an hour for shortage subjects. Many full-time teachers earn just over pound;16 an hour * Some private tutor agencies have more than 10,000 staff on their books The one-to-one tutorial has always been popular. To the ancient Greeks it was a way of provoking philosophical thought, while in Elizabethan England wealthy families employed tutors to educate their children in Renaissance refinements. Today, private tuition is still in fashion, but the aims are no longer so noble. It's not about developing independent thought, or stimulating curiosity. It's about results: passing an 11-plus, turning D grade "failure" into C grade "success" at GCSE; securing the A-level grades for a coveted university place. Some parents are willing to spend thousands of pounds a year topping up their children's education. Does this mean our schools are failing? Or just that parents value education highly and want the best for their children? How many children have tutors? More than a quarter of 11 to 18-year-olds have had a private tutor at some point during their schooling, according to research published last year by Judy Ireson at the Institute of Education, London. But that estimate, based on a sample of 3,500 pupils, may be conservative: some children keep quiet about extra tuition, deeming it a mark of failure or "swottiness". There are also differences from region to region, and from school to school. The Institute of Education research, for example, found one school where 65 per cent of Year 11 pupils had used a private tutor. London is widely seen as the hotbed of home tutoring and anecdotal evidence suggests that in some schools in the capital, among children preparing for public examinations, the proportion having private tuition is close to 100 per cent. Passing fad or growing trend? Tutoring agencies say business is booming. But the fastest growing market is not at secondary level, where there has always been a call for GCSE and A-level tuition, but at key stages 1 and 2. "The introduction of Sats led to a surge in demand, and it's grown steadily ever since," says a spokesperson for Cheshire-based agency Private Tutors. "Parents want tuition for their children from the ages of six or seven, so they don't fall behind." But at the other end of the age range, things may be changing. Some agencies report that demand for A-level tuition has dipped in recent years, as an increase in coursework and the chance to retake modules has removed the intensity from the examination process. Who are the tutors? The private tuition industry isn't regulated: anyone can set up as a tutor by sticking an advertisement in a local shop window. But most tutors do have some teaching experience, and there is an element of self-regulation as most work comes through word of mouth. Tutors who aren't up to scratch soon find themselves without students. Many tutors are full-time teachers who squeeze in a few private lessons in the evenings. Sometimes they are even approached by parents to give extra tuition to children they already teach at school, though most have qualms about this kind of relationship. Other tutors are "professionals", for whom tutoring provides their main income (see case study). Some are retired teachers, while those with young families find tutoring offers flexibility and the chance to work from home. Tutoring is also a popular way for students, especially postgraduates, to earn extra cash. "It's more dignified and lucrative than working behind a bar," says Karina Halstead, founder of the London-based co-operative Home Tutors. "And many parents choose a student rather than an experienced teacher because they think their child will relate to them." In science and maths, where national teacher shortages are reflected in tutor shortages, retired architects, engineers and accountants sometimes offer their services. "Parents shouldn't rule out people without teaching experience," says Karina Halstead. "Tutors just need good subject knowledge and communication skills. Whether or not they could control a class of 30 children is irrelevant." Why do children have tutors? In short, to get better exam results. In a survey carried out last year by Fleet Tutors, an agency in the south of England, 81 per cent of tutors reported that clients wanted "to compensate for perceived deficiencies in the state school system". A similar number, 83 per cent, reported that children were "increasingly anxious about exams". The Institute of Education research echoes this finding, with 71 per cent of children saying they received extra help to prepare for tests or exams. In particular, tutoring in Year 6 seems to be targeted at getting children into their chosen secondary school: where there is competition for places, or a grammar school system, extra tuition is widespread. In some cases the schools themselves suggest to parents that their children would benefit from coaching, knowing that this will in turn boost results, improve league table standings, and make the school look good. In other cases the use of tutors escalates as a result of peer pressure - among parents. "We found that many felt under pressure to provide tutors for their children, because they knew others were doing the same," says Judy Ireson. But not all tutoring is about exam technique and past papers. Pupils who have been off school sick may use a tutor to catch up. Some just want to study subjects not offered by their schools. And children who have been excluded or taken into care often receive their education in the form of extensive tutoring. Finally, there is the growing number of parents who choose to home-educate, many of whom use specialist tutors, particularly when their children reach secondary age. Making it pay A-level tutors in London typically charge pound;20 to pound;30 an hour, but sometimes as much as pound;40 an hour for maths or physics. Rates in the regions, or for primary tuition, are lower, usually between pound;15 and pound;25 an hour. By comparison, a teacher on pound;28,000 a year, working a 45-hour week during term time, effectively earns just over pound;16 an hour. Some tutors prefer to visit their pupils, but many find it more cost-effective to have pupils come to them, saving on time and travel costs and making it possible to schedule back-to-back appointments. Hourly rates often seem less attractive, however, when you take into account preparation and marking time and the cost of resources or photocopying. And then there's the taxman, although it can be tempting for someone teaching just a couple of lessons a week to pocket the cash and keep quiet. But the Inland Revenue has a reputation for being tough on private tuition; an advertisement for your services in a local shop or newspaper, for example, may well be noticed by the authorities. Someone who teaches part-time and tutors part-time may find it worth registering as self-employed, which means expenses are tax deductible. It's best to contact your tax office and explain your circumstances. On the books Many tutors work independently, relying on reputation and word of mouth, but others join agencies that have the financial clout to advertise widely - some of the larger ones have more than 10,000 tutors on their books - and can also offer an element of moral support. "We act as a base for tutors who miss the camaraderie of the staffroom," says Mylene Curtis, director of Fleet Tutors. Different agencies work in different ways. Some function as a go-between, passing on tutors' details to parents and taking a commission from the tutor. Others pay their tutors themselves, so are responsible for setting the price of the lessons and making sure clients pay. Some agencies are run as co-operatives, with tutors making a contribution to running costs, or giving up time to work in the office, but otherwise keeping all the money they earn. Whatever the set-up, tutors are usually self-employed, and are free to belong to more than one agency. Many parents prefer to use an agency because they see it as a guarantee of quality: agencies will usually vet CVs, run criminal record checks and take up references before agreeing to register a tutor. In most cases, they also seek feedback from parents and monitor levels of satisfaction, weeding out tutors who are not up to scratch. Plus points and pitfalls Some teachers say that tutoring lacks the buzz of teaching a large class; others complain that an intense one-to-one tutorial can be mentally exhausting. But most find their work rewarding, and some suggest it improves their classroom teaching by giving a better understanding of how children learn. But one-to-one teaching can also make tutors vulnerable to false allegations. It's a good idea to ensure that lessons take place in an open, visible environment and that there's another adult in the house. The Government has considered legislation that would make it mandatory for private tutors to undergo a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check, but so far this has been deemed unworkable. Even so, if you don't already have a CRB certificate it may be worth getting one voluntarily to reassure parents. You may also want to consider liability insurance to cover you, should a pupil have an accident while at your home. Weakness in numbers Maths dominates the private tuition market. According to the Institute of Education researchers, 70 per cent of all pupils who have a tutor receive tuition in maths. English comes a distant second, science behind that, and other subjects such as history and geography barely register on the radar. Partly, of course, this is because a C grade at maths GCSE is often a requirement for entry into higher education. It could also be a symptom of a shortage of maths staff, meaning teaching in schools may be of inferior quality, or heavily reliant on supply. "Perhaps it has something to do with the nature of the subject," says Barbara Ball, professional officer for the Association of Teachers of Mathematics. "It's a series of building blocks, where if you don't understand a key point, it can be difficult to grasp what follows. One-to-one tuition can help fill the gaps." Land of the rising tuition rates It can be a surprise to learn that as many as two million British children use private tutors, but the figure is similar in most western European countries. In some parts of the world it is much higher, with personal tuition regarded as an integral part of the education system. Up to 80 per cent of pupils in South Korea, Taiwan, Japan and Hong Kong have private lessons. Is this the kind of situation we are moving towards in the UK? "Probably not," says Judy Ireson. "Those countries with high rates of tuition usually have extremely wide differentials between the salary of educated and non-educated people. Here the gap is smaller, so there's less incentive to invest in tuition." Is it a middle-class thing? Ten years ago, private tuition was the preserve of the chattering classes. But not any longer. Tutoring agencies report a growing number of parents from less affluent backgrounds, including some on income support, forking out for tuition. "It's impossible to generalise any more," says Karina Halstead. "We have clients from estates in Hackney, Peckham, and Elephant and Castle. We provide tutors to children from single-parent families and ethnic minorities. Parents often tell me that they do extra hours of cleaning work to pay for the lessons." As people have become more open about employing tutors, it's also grown increasingly common for several parents to club together and share a tutor to cut costs. Private education by the hour? When The Spectator claimed in 2002 that the Blairs were paying teachers from Westminster school to give tuition to their sons, it caused quite a stir. Phil Willis, the Liberal Democrats' education spokesman, accused the Prime Minister of choosing "private education through the back door". Many parents openly admit that they see tuition as a cheap alternative to school fees while appeasing their social conscience. "I'm an old-fashioned leftie, vigorously opposed to private schools," says a doctor from Sheffield, "but I'm happy to pay for tuition. It's not the same thing at all." Mylene Curtis agrees that tutoring offers a genuine alternative to private education. "If tuition encourages parents to keep their children at local schools, and this allows local schools to flourish, that's a good thing," she says. But she also admits that a survey she carried out among her tutors suggests many state school children who have private tuition move on later to independent schools. Even then, paying school fees doesn't always deter parents from stumping up for extra tuition as well. "We have plenty of tutored pupils," admits one independent school English teacher. "Let's face it, if parents have already paid out thousands of pounds in fees they aren't going to baulk at a little bit extra, especially if it's to secure a pass in maths or English." A social, moral and political issue Critics argue that private tuition undermines the ethos of comprehensive education, allowing wealthy parents to buy better results for their children. They also argue that it makes league tables meaningless, since results may reflect the numbers having tuition rather than the quality of the school. Others counter that while hiring a tutor is an advantage, so too is having internet access at home, or a parent who helps with homework. Some schools have tried to compensate for inequalities by widening access to individual support, offering out-of-hours help, for example through maths clubs or GCSE revision classes. Some tutoring agencies also work closely with schools, providing tutors on site, with the school meeting all or part of the cost. This kind of crossover could be the first step towards the US model of integrating tuition into mainstream education: in some American states parents are awarded vouchers they can spend on private tuition if students are not making progress quickly enough. But other countries have taken a different approach to levelling the educational playing field. In Cyprus, supplementary tuition has been banned, and several teachers have been arrested for breaking the law. And in South Korea, tutors are not allowed to operate in the weeks immediately before exams. Money well spent? There has been little research into the impact of private tutoring. There is, however, plenty of evidence that small group and one-to-one work in schools raises achievement, so it seems logical to assume that tuition out of school is just as effective. But Judy Ireson points out that the quality of tuition is critical. "You can't assume that just because you have one teacher and one child it's going to work." Her research shows that students who have private tuition in maths during the two years before GCSE achieve, on average, just under half a grade higher than students who do not have a tutor. And while some improve by well over half a grade, others do not see any improvement at all. Boys benefit most. Another problem is that tutors are often used only for short periods. The Institute of Education research found that most are employed for less than two terms and many are hired for just a few weeks when an exam is looming. "It's often a panic measure, and parents expect the tutor to perform miracles," says a spokesperson for Personal Tutors. "Tutors can make a difference very quickly, but real success requires long-term commitment." Some children respond better to one-to-one learning than others; pupils who lack confidence or are easily distracted in class often benefit most. Tuition is also more likely to be effective when the idea has come from child . And it's not just about academic progress; in many cases the tutor may act as mentor as well as teacher, providing wider advice and encouragement. "Tutoring is the perfect balance to school," says Karina Halstead. "Schools are competitive, masculine environments. Tutoring is more feminine: it's about continuity and nurturing confidence." * The Association of Tutors (www.tutor.co.uk) is the national body for private tutors.

Emlite EMGSM-1 MID Single Phase Smart Meter The Emlite EMGSM-1 MID Single Phase Smart Meter is a comprehensive single phase power meter from Emlite that measures all the usual variables such as voltage, current and power. It is MID approved for evaluating micro-generation systems such as wind turbines, solar panels and other small renewable energy devices. Further monitoring features make the Emlite EMGSM-1 suitable for a range of tasks above and beyond standard smart meter remits. Advanced functions include Time-Of-Use Switching, Power Quality Recording, and Active (kWh) and Reactive (kvarh) energy measurement across both import and export. The device can be remotely monitored through www.meteronline.co.uk. The modular design of the Emlite EMGSM-1 allows other communication modules to be fitted, thereby catering for possible future advances in remote start meters. The device is also easy to fit and maintain whilst the display shows the strength of the GSM signal and the number of networks available when a network-resistant SIM is in place which allows the user to instantly gauge whether installation has been successful. The SIM comes pre-installed to save time and changing the card (without needing to power down the mains supply) is easy thanks to the simple holder on the bottom of the module. The user can add an O2, Vodafone or Orange/T-mobile SIM for good coverage no matter the location.

I have just emigrated from the UK to Canada – a country where banking is not free. This is something British banks have threatened will become the norm should this week's appeal on the legality of overdraft charges go against them. I've found that you get charged for a legion of things here that you don't in the UK. The bank I'm with, CIBC, is typical. For my "chequeing" or current account I am charged $3.90 (£2) a month, plus 60¢ (32p) for each transaction above a maximum of 10 a month. Unhappy? It also costs $19.50 (£10.34) to move your account to another bank, or $12.50 (£6.68) to close it if it was opened fewer than 90 days ago. Credit interest is also minimal (though these days, that is expected). But don't these just replace the charges UK banks levy for going into the red? Well, those are present here too – $42.50 (£22.70) for a bounced cheque and overdraft interest is 21%. A monthly overdraft service fee is only $5 (£2.67), which is not so bad. But I opened my account a couple of days before the end of the month, was charged a few cents of the monthly fee pro-rata before I deposited anything, and suddenly I was the proud owner of a minus sign. Five bucks, please. Gah! Fees are not popular here and people try hard to dodge them. Banks advertise on the basis of rewards and waiving some of their other fees. For example, RBC promises "three free uses" of a non-RBC ATM a month – because you usually get charged whenever you make a withdrawal from a cash machine that isn't your bank's. Unlike in the UK this particular salami-slicing is not a hot consumer issue. So why are fees tolerated? I think the answer is that people get service and local relationships in return. I was introduced to the staff at my local branch by my (Canadian) wife who knows them by name. Instead of a phone on a table connected to customer services there are real, live people. I have a bank manager as well as her business card and direct line. And I had to scrape my chin off the floor when she called me after learning I was British and said she would answer any questions I had about bank fees. Here a bank is a different concept – it is a group of local professionals you get to know personally who look after your money and advise you. So I do pay to bank, but I get service in return. If British banks were to charge fees just for keeping an account, what would you expect to receive?
Children threw snowballs while photographers tried to capture the falling flakes as a party atmosphere descended on the city. Crowds gathered at the Obelisk monument in central Buenos Aires, the traditional focal point for Argentinian celebrations and protests. "Despite all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen in snow in Buenos Aires," said Juana Benitez, an 82-year-old who joined children celebrating in the streets. The national weather service said it was the first major snow in Buenos Aires since June 22, 1918, though sleet or freezing rain have been periodically reported in decades since. One man stripped to his shorts to welcome the snow. Motorists honked horns, some with small snowmen on their car bonnets. The conditions led to the deaths of three people and the coastal city's domestic airport, Aeroparque, was closed while there were delays to flights at the international airport, Ezeiza. A government minister, Alberto Fernández, called on people to conserve energy and said gas exports to Chile would be reduced while the cold weather continued, La Nación newspaper reported. The storm struck on Argentina's independence day holiday, adding to a festive air and prompting radio stations to play an old tango song inspired by the 1918 snowfall, "What a night!" "This is the kind of weather phenomenon that comes along every 100 years," forecaster Hector Ciappesoni told La Nación newspaper. "It is very difficult to predict." The extreme weather was triggered by a front of Antarctic air that has pushed north and caused temperatures to plummet in many regions. The Patagonian ski resort town of Bariloche recorded its lowest temperatures in 44 years and left many homes without water. Lakes froze over in Río Negro province as temperatures reached minus 32C, Clarín newspaper reported, and 500 travellers were forced to take refuge in Río Cuarto after roads were closed. The snow followed a bitter cold snap in late May that saw subfreezing temperatures, the coldest in 40 years in Buenos Aires. That cold wave contributed to an energy crisis and 23 deaths from exposure.
AS HEAD of forensic accounting at chartered accountants Baker Tilly, I gave expert evidence for the successful plaintiffs. However while initial legal opinion suggests this case does not set a precedent and it remains to be seen whether the floodgates will open with similar actions against banks, the case provides a good example of some potential pitfalls that can arise in giving expert evidence: An expert must be impartial, their evidence should be given only from within their own area of expertise and they must not act as an advocate even though as in this case, I knew I could probably help save the plaintiffs from bankruptcy and losing their home. That said, it would be unnatural if they did not wish their side to win and no party will call an expert witness if they do not believe they will be helpful. This is not a serious problem, as no expert worth their salt will ever give evidence they cannot fully support against scrutiny from another expert and on cross-examination. Credibility is vital. In Verity & Spindler v Lloyds Bank there was an unsuccessful attempt to strike out my evidence on the grounds that an accountant's evidence is not relevant to the advice of a bank manager. However, the judge accepted that as an accountant I did possess the relevant experience in advising companies and individuals seeking bank finance and was well aware of the criteria a bank would apply to such proposals. More importantly he ruled that: “If a bank manager undertakes to give financial advice to customers, then it seems to me he must expect to be judged by the same standards as those applicable to other professionals who give such financial advice, such as Mr Chilton Taylor himself. In any event there was nothing arcane or esoteric about what he had to say. I found his views extremely sensible and reasonable and I have no hesitation about taking them into account.” An important factor here is that expert evidence should be given by those who not only have wide litigation experience but who also continue to practice in their chosen field. They should not be full-time experts. Experts must also keep their evidence clear and simple. In this case, which was comparatively simple, it had been difficult to identify and focus on the key issues amid a mass of often irrelevant and disorganised information prepared over several years prior to my involvement by financially naive plaintiffs. It was also necessary to suppress personal judgements. In a marketplace where clients have no qualms about suing accountants for negligent advice, why should banks providing similar advice be treated any differently? Area of expertise There were a number of matters on which no accountant should give evidence and these represented potential traps for the expert: was the bank actually advising (ie owing a duty of care) and not simply lending? If the advice was given had the plaintiffs actually relied upon it? These were both matters only for the court to decide and my evidence on the alleged advice was given with this proviso. Attempts were made on cross-examination to draw me into these areas and also into the entirely different area of negligent lending and property valuation, not an area for an accountant or, for property valuation, a bank manager either. Litigants in person But would the plaintiffs, having lost their legal aid and not being represented by a barrister, ask the appropriate questions of an expert and inadvertently destroy their credibility? In such circumstances it is essential an expert resists the temptation of advocacy and is not drawn into matters outside his area of expertise. And in some cases a litigant in person can command sympathy from the judge who might find in favour of the plaintiff on a technicality. In Verity & Spindler v Lloyds Bank the judge also allowed examination by a Mackenzie friend – Sam Crabb, a retired bank manager. This is a very rare occurrence. The problem did not arise as my principal evidence had already been served by way of an expert's report and it was decided that I first be cross examined – and was fortunately asked the questions I would have been asked on examination in chief. The Dibb Lupton view – Dibb Lipton Broomhead acted as representatives for Lloyds Bank There has been a remarkable level of interest in this particular case. It has largely concentrated on the fact that the plaintiffs have won damages of £77,529 from Lloyds Bank. There has been scant mention of the fact that the plaintiffs were claiming in excess of £500,000 or that there is an outstanding counter-claim of around £160,000 in the light of which the plaintiffs must consider their “victory” a hollow one. In no way does the decision change the law. The judge simply applied the existing law of negligence to the facts of the case as he found them. It has been clear, at least since the decision in Woods v Martins Bank (1959) that a banker, like any other professional who gives advice, can be held liable in damage if his advice is negligent and leads to loss. Advice must have been specifically sought by the customer and it must be clear to the bank that its advice is being sought in order for the duty of care to arise. The decision by a bank to lend money to a customer does not constitute advice on the viability of the project for which the customer has sought the funds. Neither Lloyds Bank nor Dibbs' approach to the case was influenced by the fact that the plaintiffs represented themselves at trial, although this no doubt contributed to the media interest in the case. In fact, the plaintiffs were represented by solicitors and counsel until shortly before the trial commenced, when their legal aid was withdrawn. We extended every courtesy, and where appropriate, assistance at all times and the Lloyds Bank counsel was commended by the judge for his conduct in this regard throughout the trial.
We've touched on the problem of insomnia, where people can't get to sleep, but a more serious sleep disorder is narcolepsy; sufferers regularly fall asleep during their daily lives because they can't regulate their sleep patterns properly. Julie Flygare writes a blog about what it's like to have the condition... Julie - For me, the first thing was, I was laughing about a joke. My knees just slightly buckled. It was like the strangest feeling. Like almost like I melted inside. But then my friends said she doesn't she anything, so I thought, okay, I don't know what that was. That weakness became worse and worse over a few years, only when we're laughing at jokes or I was annoyed then my body would start giving out on me. I asked my doctors about that and around the same time, I was also in a law school and I just started law school and I was having such a hard time being awake through all my classes. Some of my notes from class would have words from dreams, like mixed in with the lecture and like celebrity names and then half sentences. So, I was conscious, but not really actively engaged in my classes. I really didn't think of it as a sleep disorder for a long time. I just thought it was like my personal problem and it wasn't until one morning that I was trying to drive to school after getting my full night sleep, I got to school and I woke up in a parking lot. I didn't remember having arrived there. So, that's when I thought, maybe I had a sleep disorder. So, I went to see different doctors and it took a while, but eventually found narcolepsy with cataplexy as my diagnosis. Once I was diagnosed, like I thought I would take medication and go back to my life, the way it was before. I take medication twice a night to help me get into a better form of sleep because we've spent too much time in REM dream sleep. I mean, not getting stage 3 restorative sleep and then I take daytime stimulants during the day. But even with all that, I still nap twice a day and that's really unpredictable. I feel pretty energetic and then slowly, I lose my ability to really concentrate and think straight and make the decisions. If I'm in a conversation with friends, all at once, I might say something that has nothing to do with the conversation. It's almost like I almost entered like a little bit of a dream and then my friend will be like, "What did you say?" And then I'll be like, "What? Oh, I don't know. What did you say? What did I said?" I just kind of fizzle out and that happens once or twice a day. So, as soon as I start feeling that way, I try to take a nap. I still have that cataplexy where my body gives out. It's not nearly as bad like before I received treatment. If I hadn't gone to treatment, like I would end up in a wheelchair. I got so bad that I was completely collapsed to the ground paralysed for a minute or two and there's another symptom of hallucinations so, when I wake up from a nap or sometimes during the night, I really think things are happening to me that someone has come into my apartment. Maybe it's a burglar or someone's going to attack me. I really feel like I could see them and hear them, and feel touched, but they're not really there, and that still happens to me quite often. That's also because the boundary between dream sleep and consciousness are kind of broken. So, aspects of dream sleep are happening while I'm too conscious. Priya - Julie Flygare who writes the blog julieflygare.com, describing her experience of narcolepsy.
Peel Public Health say people in the cities of Brampton and Mississauga may have been exposed to a possible case of measles earlier this month. In a news release issued out on Friday, Peel Public Health said officials are investigating a possible case of measles in a child who came to Brampton from a measles-endemic country just prior to becoming ill. The release stated that the “members of the public may have been exposed to measles in a number of settings in Brampton and Mississauga during the period of Jan. 1-5, 2016.” Peel Public Health says it is working to identify and follow up with anyone who visited the locations during the times listed, because they may be at risk: - Jan. 1, Emirates Airline Flight EK0605 from Karachi to Dubai to Toronto - Jan. 1, Toronto Pearson International Airport Terminal One, 3:25 to 7:25 p.m. - Jan. 3, Multi-Specialty Walk-In Clinic, 21 Queensway W., Mississauga, 8 to 11 p.m. - Jan. 5, Brampton Urgent Care Clinic, Springdale Square, Unit 8, 51 Mountainash Rd., Brampton, 8 to 10 p.m. - Jan. 5, Brampton Civic Hospital Emergency Department, 2100 Bovaird Dr. East, Brampton, 8:45 p.m. on Jan. 5 to 3:45 a.m. on Jan. 6. Measles is a very contagious disease that can spread easily to those who are not immune or are vulnerable. Health officials want anyone who may have been in the above at-risk zones to monitor themselves for symptoms. These symptoms include high fever, cough, runny nose, and white spots in the mouth that may appear five days after exposure. The press release stated that “infants under one year of age, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems can get very ill with measles.” For more information, contact Peel Public Health at 905-799-7700.
The 33rd edition of the TOP500 list of the world’s most powerful supercomputers is still led by Roadrunner and Jaguar, but shows that two of the top 10 positions are now claimed by new systems in Germany. The latest listing, to be announced Tuesday, June 23, at the 2009 International Supercomputing Conference, also includes a brand-new player, an IBM BlueGene/P system at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia, ranked at No. 14. The closely watched TOP500 list, issued twice a year, both confers bragging rights on research institutions and manufacturers and serves as a valuable tool for tracking trends in supercomputer performance and architectures. The latest list reflects changes from November 2008 to June 2009. Holding onto the No. 1 spot with 1.105 petaflop/s (quadrillions of floating point operations per second) is the Roadrunner system at DOE’s Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) which was built by IBM and in June 2008 became the first system ever to break the petaflop/s Linpack barrier. It still is one of the most energy efficient systems on the TOP500. Maintaining its hold on second place is the Cray XT5 Jaguar system installed at the DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Jaguar reached 1.059 petaflop/s shortly after its installation but due to its heavy workload no further measurements were possible. But in third place, a new contender has emerged-- a new IBM BlueGene/P system called JUGENE and installed at the Forschungszentrum Juelich (FZJ) in Germany. It achieved 825.5 teraflop/s (trillions of floating point operations per second) on the Linpack benchmarks and has a theoretical peak performance of just above 1 petaflop/s. FZJ is also home to the new No. 10 system. Called JUROPA, it is built from Bull Novascale and Sun SunBlade x6048 servers and achieved 274.8 Tflop/s. The two systems in Germany are the only non-U.S.-based systems in the latest TOP10 list. There are only two other new entries in the TOP10. At No. 6 is a new Cray XT5 system called Kraken and installed at the National Institute for Computational Sciences at the University of Tennessee with a Linpack performance of 463.3 Tflop/s, making it the most powerful university-based system. The other new entry, at No. 9 with 415.7 Tflop/s, is a new IBM BlueGene/P system called Dawn installed at DOE’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Another notable system is the Chinese-built Dawning 5000A at the Shanghai Supercomputer Center at No 15. It is the largest system which can be operated with the Windows HPC 2008 operating system. The U.S. is clearly the leading consumer of HPC systems with 291 of the 500 systems (unchanged from 291). The European share (145 systems – down from 151) is settling down after having risen for some time, but is still substantially larger than the Asian share (49 systems – up from 47).

I find western Tasmania a fascinating place. It’s wild, rugged, feels 20 years behind much of mainland Australia and its landscape is littered with crumbling testaments to a bygone era. Ghost towns. Aside from the remarkably intact ghost town of Gormanston, which I’ve written about here, here’s four others that lie scattered amongst the region’s forests and hills, harbouring forgotten stories beneath rusted iron and splintered rubble. Roughly a kilometre walk downhill from Gormanston lies the ghost town of Linda and its only surviving edifice, the Royal Hotel, which was abandoned during the 1950s. This once thriving town, which is located in the Linda Valley in Tasmania’s West Coast Range, served to support the North Mount Lyell mine. Once the mine was taken over by the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway company in 1903, its residents began shifting uphill to Gormanston. The town was also used to transport ore from the Mount Lyell mine to Crotty, which is now submerged beneath Lake Burbury, while metal was transported to Pillinger (which I’ll discuss shortly). Walking downhill from Gormanston, our party descended upon the Royal Hotel. Here photographer Dee Kramer flew his drone amongst the ruins, which I’m sure inflamed the curiosity of the town’s sole resident, who watched warily from the cafe next door. Apart from the hotel, whose scarred, grey pillars have been given an ‘atmospheric boost’ with pentagrams and phrases such as “help me”, there’s not a whole lot to see in Linda anymore. However, the surrounding countryside contains plenty of character. If you look hard enough, you might even find the forsaken cemetery on the slopes of a nearby hill. Pillinger is an adventure to get to. Accessible via a two-hour walk from the car park, this ghost town rests on the edge of the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park, in the Kelly Basin. Skirting the chocolate coloured Bird River, the 11 kilometre return walk to Pillinger meanders through lush rainforest, over slippery bridges, through tunnels of trees, past varied wildlife and tumbling cascades. Our walk to this historic site was as wet as it was beautiful. Bring some good wet weather gear. The walk follows an old train line, built between 1898 and 1900, which is visible in parts along the forest. The once thriving community of Pillinger comprised both East and West Pillinger and was home to 1000 people at its peak. East Pillinger contained two boilers which powered several brick kilns and a sawmill. In West Pillinger, on the edge of Kelly Basin, a 240-metre-long wharf helped transport bricks and timber onto boats. Located several hundred metres from East Pillinger, West Pillinger was a government town comprising stores, a community mess hall (much like a modern day café) a hotel and a police station. The place held regular sporting events and parties, suggesting it was once a thriving community. The nearby town of Strahan, however, was eventually favoured due to mining politics and the last of Pillinger’s residents left in 1943. Arriving at Kelly Basin absolutely saturated (it had been steadily raining the whole way), we managed to dry out a little on an adjacent wharf before wandering amongst the brick rubble, past the remains of a bakery, tools, a train carriage and over to the remarkably intact boilers at East Pillinger. The lush, iridescent forest lends the ruins a wild, adventurous air, making it a little difficult to imagine that a settlement once clanged, banged and whistled with life in this all but forgotten part of the world. About five minutes drive from the town of Zeehan – where Houdini tightrope-walked across the main street – lies Dundas, another mining town gone bust. Dundas is located in a fairly obscure part of the country, and it was with a bit of luck that we found the sign into the old ghost town, which led us down a labyrinth of dirt roads, some of which branched off into goodness knows where. Pressed for time and taking a couple of wrong turns, we arrived at more of a ruin than a ghost town. At one time, however, Dundas contained a post office which operated from 1890 to 1930 and its own newspaper, entitled the Zeehan and Dundas Herald (1902 – 1922). The Adelaide Mine near Dundas is purportedly home to rare minerals, with one particular specimen, Dundasite, being named after the town. At Dundas, I slipped on some clay, nearly shattering my lens, fired off a couple of shots and left feeling liked I’d missed even the faintest whiff of the party by about 100 years. Formed as a mining community to support the nearby town of Rosebery, Williamsford similarly exudes an air of embarrassment, as if it was a mistake best left forgotten, containing barely any remains of its general store, post office and hotel. The prominent feature of Williamsford was its haulage system, named Hercules, which climbed over 500 metres in altitude and stretched over 1.5 kilometres. The haulage was closed in 1986 with the development of mining techniques in Rosebery. A lone plaque reveals that pioneers brought Williamsford to life during the late 19th Century in cold, wet, unforgiving country, the rugged environment failing to hamper their indomitable spirits. During its time, Hercules hauled minerals such as lead and zinc, which came from fine-grained volcanic sediments. Ore was also harvested and transported to Rosebery via an aerial ropeway, which still hangs precariously across the Murchison Highway – a curious relic of times gone by.
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers. Contemporary Art usually refers to art produced since 1945, which was the end of World War II. Similarly, Pop art, which utilizes aspects of mass culture, such as advertising, television and ordinary cultural objects, was also introduced after World War II (more specifically, the mid-1950s). High Art is seen by many as an ageless piece that deserves recognition and respect within the art world. It was serious, complex, beautiful and elite. Conversely, Low Art is often seen as something that is a sign of the times rather than something that has held up against the test of time. It is frivolous, sentimental, cheap and popular. High, Low and Pop art all tie into Contemporary art in that in that they all influenced it by using media and advertising in one way or another. Contemporary artists such as Barbara Kruger and Jenny Holzer are prime examples of this, as is the group AdBusters. All three fit into John Berger's theory "selling the past to the future." Barbara Kruger is an American artist who challenged cultural assumptions by manipulating images and text in her photographic compositions. She layers found photographs from existing sources with concise and hostile text that involves the viewer in the struggle for power and control that her captions speak to. One of her more famous pieces of art is "Your Body Is a Battleground," which shows an oversized image of a model's face that is divided into two sections. Placed across the image is the phrase "Your body is a battleground," by which she called into question the objectification of women and raised the issue of women's reproductive rights. This image has been, and still can be, seen in museums and galleries worldwide, as well as bus cards, posters, public parks and train platforms, among other things. By manipulating and recontextualizing imagery, Kruger sought to question the way accepted sources of power, in this case the mass media, present female identity. Her grounding in the theoretical connects her with contemporary developments in conceptual art. Jenny Holzer is also an American artist, mostly known for her large-scale public displays that include billboard advertisements, projections on buildings and other architectural structures, as well as illuminated electronic displays. The main focus of her work is the use of words and ideas in public space, often referred to as truisms. Electronic LED signs are her best-known, most spectacular method; they also reflect the military-commercial-entertainment complex that, bit by bit, her art exposes. Occasionally cliché-like and sometimes contradictory, both the truisms and her methods of presenting them have been influenced by the world of commercial art and advertising, appearing, often, to be no more noticeable than a conventional advertisement. They can be seen on posters, t-shirts, stickers, and even carved into the stone of public benches. AdBusters is global network of culture jammers and creatives working to change the way information flows, the way corporations wield power, and the way meaning is produced in today's society. AdBusters is anti-advertising: it blames advertising for playing a central role in creating, and maintaining, consumer culture. Culture jamming is the primary means through which AdBusters challenges consumerism. The goal is to interrupt the normal consumerist experience in order to reveal the underlying ideology of an advertisement, media message, or consumer artifact. Culture jamming aims to challenge the large, influential corporations that control mainstream media and the flow of information; it is a form of protest. There are many examples that AdBusters uses to achieve their goal, including the "Joe Chemo," "Absolut" and "Obsession" ads. John Berger, an English art critic, says in his book Ways of Seeing that publicity has to "sell the past to the future" and that it is nostalgic. He cites specific examples, saying "Cigars can be sold in the name of a King, underwear in connection with the Sphinx, a new car by reference to the status of a country house." Berger says that these images "belong to the moment but speak of the future." What he means is that the average person will come across these images, whether walking by them, seeing them in a magazine, glancing at them on the television screen and not notice them until a later time. Kruger, Holzer and AdBusters are all selling the past to the future as well with their words and images. They are hoping that the work they have done, and continue to do, will one day be as dynamic as they want it to be. Unfortunately, the reality is that advertisements that are produced right now are geared towards the present and having a direct effect on society now, not in the future. Information has never been more completely and readily available to everyone. There is a place for responsible advertising, but the truth is that advertising can strongly and powerfully influence an unsuspecting and uninformed public. Ads can tell society what is modern, popular and indispensible and can help teach the masses into believing that certain positions are preferable to other positions.

Russian Constructivism was a movement that was active from 1913 to the 1940s. It was a movement created by the Russian avant-garde, but quickly spread to the rest of the continent. Constructivist art is committed to complete abstraction with a devotion to modernity, where themes are often geometric, experimental and rarely emotional. Objective forms carrying universal meaning were far more suitable to the movement than subjective or individualistic forms. Constructivist themes are also quite minimal, where the artwork is broken down to its most basic elements. New media was often used in the creation of works, which helped to create a style of art that was orderly. An art of order was desirable at the time because it was just after WWI that the movement arose, which suggested a need for understanding, unity and peace. The Mexican Mural Movement was the promotion of mural painting starting in the 1920s, generally with social and political messages as part of efforts to reunify the country under the post Mexican Revolution government. It was headed by "the big three" painters, Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros. From the 1920s to about 1970s a large number of murals with nationalistic, social and political messages were created on public buildings, starting a tradition which continues to this day in Mexico and has had impact in other parts of the Americas, including the United States where it served as inspiration for the Chicano Mural Movement. Both movements, while being different in some ways, are also similar due to their connection to Marxism. Marxism is a theory and practice of socialism including the labor theory of value, dialectical materialism, the class struggle, and dictatorship of the proletariat until the establishment of a classless society that was developed by Karl Marx. Marxist theory about art and culture, as part of a general theory of social history, was a major influence on Constructivism. It professes a belief in cultural evolution and progress. Marxist theories about art and culture determined the content of Constructivism. Discussions revolved around three topics: political motivation, counter-objectivism (Materialism), and style. One of the major themes of the Mexican Mural Movement was a Marxist political orientation, which included a pronounced emphasis on class struggle. John Berger was known from being a Marxist critic. His Marxist humanism and his strongly stated opinions on modern art made him a controversial figure early in his career. For example, he titled an early collection of essays Permanent Red, in part as a statement of political commitment, and later wrote that before the Soviet Union achieved nuclear parity with the United States he had felt constrained not to criticize the former's policies; afterwards his attitude toward the Soviet state became considerably more critical. Berger himself even admitted, "Yes, I am still a Marxist among other things." Diego Rivera was a prominent Mexican painted whose large wall works in fresco helped establish the Mexican Mural Movement. The idea of such an art was conceived as a counter to the tradition of easel art, and was stimulated by debates on the social role of art following the Russian Revolution. On mural art, Rivera calls it the most significant art for the proletariat. "In Russia mural paintings are projected on the walls of clubs, of union headquarters, and even on the walls of factories," he says in "The Revolutionary Spirit in Modern Art," an essay he wrote in 1932. "But the easel picture is an object of luxury, quite beyond the means of the proletariat." In 1936 the Moscow show trials served to dramatize Joseph Stalin's treatment of political opponents and independent intellectuals. Two years later, Andre Breton visited Mexico and was introduced to Leon Trotsky by none other than Diego Rivera. Together, the three of them wrote an essay "Towards a Free Revolutionary Art" in which they defended the art they did. "To those who urge us, whether for today or for tomorrow, to consent that art should submit to a discipline which we hold to be radically incompatible with its nature," the three state, "we give a flat refusal and we repeat our deliberate intention of standing by the formula complete freedom for art." Their aims are the independence of art for the revolution and the revolution for the complete liberation of art. With Russian Constructivism and the Mexican Mural Movement, both of their aims came to fruition. Harrison, Charles, and Paul Wood. "Freedom, Responsibility and Power."

Sacred art is artistic imagery using religious inspiration and motifs and is often intended to uplift the mind to the spiritual. Sacred art involves the ritual and cultic practices and practical and operative aspects of the path of the spiritual realization within the artist's religious tradition. It is more of a relation of art to a natural landscape. In her book But is it art? Cynthia Freeland goes into detail to explain the use of both the sacred and the spiritual in art. Modern Western art is also connected with the sacred and spiritual, as is the sublime. Freeland talks about how a Zen garden "symbolizes a person's relation to nature and higher reality." While these gardens may look 'natural' to Westerners, she says they are all purposeful with their trees, rocks, winding paths, ponds and waterfalls. Zen gardens represent a setting for human activity and are an expression of individual worlds of thought. Japanese art reflects Shintoism in art forms such as bonsai trees, ikebana flower arrangements, etc. Shintoism is an indigenous spirituality of Japan and the people of Japan. Although someone else may not fully understand the meaning behind these Zen gardens, they can still enjoy them just the same and get self-examination, spiritual refinement and enlightenment from them. Freeland's explanation of the sacred and spiritual is connected to Barrett Newman's statement that "the first man was an artist." The first man, relieved of the remains of a dependent reality and the weight of history, is a nonentity for a new art, a new self, and a new reality. Newman says, "Just as man's first speech was poetic before it became utilitarian, so man first built an idol of mud before he fashioned an ax. Man's hand traced the stick through the mud to make a line before he learned to throw the stick as a javelin." In that same sense, man first had to be one with the natural components of the Zen gardens (stone, plant, wood, sand, etc.) before making way for the man-made elements (bridges, pathways, lanterns, etc.). Sand represents water. Gates made out of wooden fences or cloths are called torii, and symbolize boundaries. Stones are major elements, and can symbolize eternity, fertility and are considered more important than trees. Man-made elements must be made out of wood or stone, as they mean a natural atmosphere, balanced environment and peaceful meditation spot. The beginnings of modern art, especially abstract art, have strong spiritual roots. Wassily Kandinsky, Jean Arp, Marcel Duchamp, Barrett Newman, Mark Rothko and most of the other giants of early and mid-twentieth century painting shared common spiritual roots. For many of these men and women, art was primarily about spirituality, and was perhaps the most appropriate vehicle for expressing and developing the spirituality that the new century called for. In his book Concerning the Spiritual in Art, Kandinsky says, "Literature, music and art are the most sensitive spheres in which this spiritual revolution makes itself felt. They reflect the dark picture of the present time and show the importance of what was at first only a little point of light noticed by the few. Perhaps they even grow dark in their turn, but they turn away from the soulless life of the present toward those substances and ideas that give free scope to the non-material strivings of the soul." Denis Diderot, a philosopher and art critic during the French Enlightenment period, expressed boredom with the new neoclassical style and religious art, suggesting that a more open, realistic and moral kind of art was necessary. He represented a belief that accepted traditions, like those of the church, were a thing of the past, and that critical reflection was the way forward. He admired the style of "genre painting" as he thought it was moral because it was humble, not based on the church, and reflected ordinary people's experiences. Alexander Baumgarten coined the term aesthetics to describe what he was doing when he reexamined ideas about beauty in the 18th century. He used it to think about art, about what makes a thing beautiful, pleasing or ugly, or indeed fine art rather than craft. Baumgarten said we all make "aesthetic judgments," as we see certain artworks as superior to others. Immanuel Kant's perception of beauty involves imagination and understanding. Kant says the other aspect of aesthetic experience is that of the sublime. In Kant's idea of beauty there is a form of order, of necessity, but in the sublime, by contrast, there's a principle of disorder, of purposivelessness. There is no order and no limit to the idea of the sublime. Examples of the sublime can be a heavy storm or a huge fire: it is like our awe of some supernatural presence, of some grandiose natural spectacle of limitless energy. In her article "From Huacas to Mesas: Altars as Mirrors of Ecstatic Experience" that appears in the book Dialogues with the Living Earth, Debra Carroll discusses the sublime and spirit of place when she writes of her experience on the northern island of Kaua'i in Hawaii. Her friend had told her to go to the dance platform and make an offering to the goddess Laka, who brought the people of Kaua'i the sacred dance of hula. "Through the Hawaiian grapevine I had been given permission to visit the shrine of Laka," she says. "Now I stood, a little breathless and more than a little awed, at the entrance to the very place where the native people of Hawaii believe their sacred dance form had first been conveyed to an ancient leader." She goes on to describe the cliff of the platform as "gnarled blackness" and compares it to the "open maw of some primordial monster." Eventually, Carroll casts off her fear and allows herself let go and just feel ease, but for that moment when she first goes to the platform, she feels the sublime that Kant describes. "The Sublime is Now" is an article written by Newman where he asks "if we are living in a time without a legend or mythos that can be called sublime, if we refuse to admit any exaltation in pure relations, if we refuse to live in the abstract, how can we be creating a sublime art?" He answers his own question by saying, "Instead of making cathedrals out of Christ, man, or "life," we are making it out of ourselves, out of our own feelings. The image we produce is the self-evident one of revelation, real and concrete, that can be understood by anyone who will look at it without the nostalgic glasses of history." He talks about the struggle between notions of beauty and desire for sublimity and claims that the impulse of modern art was to destroy beauty. He specifies that European art cannot achieve the sublime because of the desire to exist in the reality of sensation. Essentially, Newman is stating that the sublime is now more about your own feelings and what you have in mind rather than resorting to history to try to create it.

Sisu Vitamin D 1000 IU An important factor in the prevention of bone loss in men and women. Vitamin D is produced naturally when our skin is exposed to strong sunlight. However, in the northern hemisphere this type of natural light is not available during much of the year, therefore Canadians are at a greater risk of deficiency. Other at-risk groups include seniors, people with darker skin, vegans and those on a low protein diet. Health professionals in Canada estimate that increased vitamin D blood levels would reduce incidence of a variety of conditions, including osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, multiple sclerosis, pneumonia, and cancer. Adequate levels vitamin D are important for the prevention of many chronic health conditions. - One tablet provides 1,000 IU of Vitamin D, the maximum allowed in a Canadian supplement - D3 (cholecalciferol) derived from lanolin from sheep’s wool - Vitamin D is essential to calcium absorption and helps support bone density and helps reduce fractures - Vitamin D has been studied for its role in preventing various chronic health conditions and low vitamin D levels have been associated with increased rates of certain cancers - Tiny, fast-dissolving tablets that can be chewed, swallowed whole or dissolved under the tongue or in any liquid - Contains no ingredients that are a source of gluten - Tested for guaranteed purity and potency - Good Manufacturing Practices standards - NPN approved Directions: Take 1 tablet daily or as directed by a health care practitioner.

Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS Our mission is to provide a no-kill, temporary shelter for stray domesticated animals while they are being rehabilitated and receiving vet care. In addition, we will provide a low-cost spay and neuter program for feral cats. Sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife will be rehabilitated and, when possible, released back into the wild. Our unique educational programs will teach the public the proper care of pets to reduce the overpopulation problem and help humans co-exist with wildlife. We currently operate a pet food pantry in Hopewell Junction on Saturdays for Dutchess County residents who are struggling financially to feed their pets. Pet owners are welcome to come once a month to receive a week's supply of pet food. We also operate a thrift shop. The public donates household items to us and we sell them in our shop. The items must be new or gently used. The proceeds go to building an educational and rehabilitation center for both pets and wildlife at Greenhaven Prison where we recently were awarded property. - Josephine Santoro - Need admin access?

Kant was one of the inventors of anthropology, and his lectures on anthropology were the most popular and among the most frequently given of his lecture courses. This volume contains the first translation of selections from student transcriptions of the lectures between 1772 and 1789, prior to the published version, Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View (1798), which Kant edited himself at the end of his teaching career. The two most extensive texts, Anthropology Friedlander (1772) and Anthropology Mrongovius (1786), are presented here in their entirety, along with selections from all the other lecture transcriptions published in the Academy edition, together with sizeable portions of the Menschenkunde (1781-2), first published in 1831. These lectures show that Kant had a coherent and well-developed empirical theory of human nature bearing on many other aspects of his philosophy, including cognition, moral psychology, politics and philosophy of history.

Single Women as Parents community house A non-profit community organisation providing support and practical help to women parenting alone. They are the only organisation providing a drop-in centre from 9-3pm 4 days a week, to cater for the needs of these women and they offer a much needed and valued service. The majority of their members are raising families on very low incomes so they provide all the resources and activities at no cost. Women become members of SWAP for a variety of reasons The initial contact is often made when a woman is seeking help for a specific problem e.g. benefit entitlements, information relating to custody issues, child support issues, housing needs, parenting information or to seek social interaction. Many of their members are those in the community who have been dealing with issues such as isolation, abusive relationships, poverty and stress. As the women’s confidence and self esteem is restored, they are offered an opportunity to join their volunteer mentoring programme which supports them as individuals to become less reliant on SWAP support and enables them to move forward in career and lifestyle options. Their core services include – advocacy with government and non government agencies, budgeting one to one, counselling and courses (parenting and budgeting) a weekly soup lunch with guest speakers, and a very well utilised recycled clothing room. Free computer and internet use, plus a well loved library that offers books regarding life skills and parenting. 70 Springfield Road Phone: 366 8540, Fax: 366 4009, Txt: 02 21297564
Location and General Description The Kopetdag mountains are the northernmost range of the Turkmeno-Khorassan system; they are of medium size, the highest peak reaches 2,872 above the sea level; spread latitudinally in a narrow strip of about 100 km wide and surrounded by deserts. Ranges with high seismic activity are comprised of sandstone, limestone, clay and marl. The region has features of the arid subtropical climate with shortage of moisture and high summer temperatures. Absolute minimum, - 24oC; absolute maximum, 35-45o C and in some areas 48oC; annual precipitation is 300 mm. Geological history of Kopet Dag has provided a diverse arena for the formation of local biodiversity when this mountain chain served as an island corridor between the Balkans and Armeno-Iranian Plateau at the time of reduction of the ancient Tethys Sea 10 million years ago. With further aridization, landscapes gradually changed. In the Pleistocene (less than one million years ago), this mountain corridor was a site of constant dispersal and probably, of local speciation. Many endemic species, especially plant species are refered to this age. Located between northern and southern deserts of Asia, Kopet Dag mountains could house relic mesophile flora and fauna which could not survive aridization of adjacent lowlands. Transgressions of the Proto-Caspian Sea periodically returned these desert mountains to the island condition. During the recent glaciation (16,000 to 10,000 years ago) this corridor could have been invaded by almost modern European and Asian "refugee" species. Then, a new aridization disrupted many ranges and effectively isolated European forest and meadow species that found their refuge in the riparian forests along the mountain valleys, such as highly endemic orchids in mesophytic walnut and elm forests. Fauna and flora of Kopet Dag expresses the mixed character of their biogeographic connections with Mediterranean and Turanian elements, as well as authochthonous endemics. The Kopet Dag flora is especially rich in plant diversity is the flora, of which 332 species are endemic. The families of plants which have the greatest number of rare and endangered species are Liliaceae, Orchidaceae, Rosaceae, Fabaceae and Asteraceae. 15 out of 68 rare and endangered plant species of the Kopet Dag range seem to have vanished due to habitat decline. Many wildlife animal species occurring in reserves have been extirpated in areas outside of reserves. Kopet Dag Woodlands could be found from the lowland plane 300 m to the high elevations in up to 2,500 m above the sea level. They are characterized by several community types: xeric shrublike woodlands, juniper woodlands, and mesophytic riparian forest. Xerophytic woodlands are known as shiblyak, distinctive by its species composition and richness, variety of community types, the presence of diverse subtropical species and endemics. They are sometimes characterized as savannoid vegetation type of open woodlands. Shiblyak is usually dominated by the Turkmen maple (Acer tucomanicum), hawthorns (Crataegus spp.) or by the Christ's thorn (Paliurus spinachristi) in disturbed lands. The Turkmen maple is a small tree, two to three meters tall, its shrub-like characteristics are due to its ability to regenerate from the trunk after harvesting, fires or grasing. Kopetdag wodlands’ plant communities are widespread from 800 to 2,500 m; their density depends on humidity of the slopes. Codominant trees and shrubs are species of Crataegus spp., Celtis caucasica, Juniperus turkomanica, Cerasus microcarpa, Ephedra intermedia, E. equisetina, Cotoneaster nummularia, Colutea gracilis, Lonicera bracteolaris, Rubia florida, Rhamnus sintenisii, Jasminum fruticans, Amygdalus communis, and A. scoparia. Among herbaceous dominants of the forest cover are Anisantha sterilis, Trisetum flavescens, Fritillaria raddeanum, Orthurus heterocarpus, Lamium turkestanicum, Dactylis glomerata, Alliaria alliacea, Nepeta sintenisii, Crucianella sintenisi, Galium verum, G. aparine, Hordeum murinum, and Eruca sativa. Kopetdag wodlands’ house high number of fruit trees, shrubs, and vines valuable for selection, including pomegranate (Punica granatum), wild grapes (Vitis sylvestris, V. vinifera), fig (Ficus carica), wild apple (Malus turkmenorum), wild pear (Pyrus boisiieri), wild cherries (Cerasus microcarpa, C. erythrocarpa, C. blinovskii), wild prune (Prunus divaricata), almonds (Amygdalus communis and A. scoparia), and hawthorns (Crataegus spp.). Stands of Juniperus turkomanica also form open woodlands in the middle and upper mountain belts at the altitudes around 1,000-2,000 m in complexes with shiblyak, steppes dominated by fescue (Festuca valesiaca) and feathergrass (Stipa turcomanica, S. hohenackeriana) and mountain xerophytes represented by cushion-plants such as Acanthophyllum, Acantholimon, and Tragacantha. In the higher parts of the mountains, maple stands are more sparse, herbaceous cover incorporates derived communities dominated by unique for this region subtropical grasssland formed by Elytigia trichophora. Deciduous forest communities formed by tall trees such as elm (Ulmus carpinifolia), walnut (Juglans regia), Syrian ash (Fraxinus syriaca), and dogwood (Thelycrania meyeri) are found primarily along the narrow mountain river valleys. Walnut forest in this ecoregion is confined to a narrow (50 to 100 m wide) strip along the rivers at the altitudes from 1,000 to 1,500 m. Juglans regia is accompanied by Fraxinus syriaca, Thelycrania meyeri, Prunus divaricata, Lonicera floribunda, Rubus sanguinoides, and Rosa lacerans. The mesophilic herbaceous undestory layer includes Anisantha sterilis, Elytrigia repens, Mentha longifolia, Cousinia umbrosa, Anthriscus longirostris, Physocaulis nodosus, and sometimes endemic wild onion Allium paradoxum. Forms of the wild walnuts could be invaluable source for selection of new cultural varieties. Rare mesophytic species of orchids (Ophrys transhyrcana, Epipactis veratrifolia) and ferns (Ophioglossum vulgatum) found here their refuge from the arid environment. A magnificent, relict Eastern sycamore (Platanus orientalis) grows as a narrow strip along mountain rivers; its preservation depends entirely on anti-erosion efforts which should prevent mudslide formation on the slopes and plateaus caused by overgrazing in the upper regions of the watershed. Common mammal species in Kopet Dag woodlands include shrews (Sorex, Crocidura), forest mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus), jackal (Canis aureus), fox (Vulpes vulpes), marten (Martes foina), least weasel (Mustela nivalis), badger (Meles meles), wild boar (Sus scrofa). Among birds, common are lark (Galerida cristata), stone patridge (Alectoris chucar), doves (Columba livia, Streptopelia turtur, S. orientalis), hawks (Accipiter nisus, A. badius), buzzard (Buteo rufinus), kite (Milvus korshun), falcons (Falco tinnunculus), pheasant (Phasianus colchicus), titmice (Parus), flycatchers (Muscicapa), nightingale (Luscinia megarhyncha), finches (Carduelis), buntings (Emberiza), warblers (Sylvia), and shrikes (Lanius). Common reptile species are agamas (Trapelus, Stellio), runners (Eremias), skinks (Ablepharus, Eumeces), geckos (Cyrtopodion), glass lizard (Pseudopus apodus), rat snakes (Coluber), vipers (Agkistrodon halys, Vipera l?betina), blind wormsnake (Typhlops vermicularis); among amphibians, toad (Bufo viridis). A number of rare and endangered large mammals still inhabit Kopet Dag. Dense forests with mountain springs provide breeding grounds for the leopards (Panthera pardus tullianus). They were widespread in the mountains and foothills of Kopetdag until the early 20th century. Throughout Turkmenistan, 360 leopards were killed from 1924 to 1966. The population of Kopet Dag leopards is steadily declining. Its records are constant but sporadic in Kopet Dag. With the establishment of the two Kopet Dag Reserves, regular observations of leopards were conducted showing that their population is not more than 40 animals. By 1990 the condition of this leopard population seemed relatively stable and hopeful; In 1996-1998 there were about 23-25 animals in Western and 25- 30 – in Central Kopet Dag. Wild sheep or urial (Ovis (vignei) orientalis) lives in the arid mountains and foothills within two protected areas (less then 2,000 animals). Human activity has significantly decreased this population. Bezoar (bearded ) goat (Capra aegagrus turkmenicus) is found in Maly and Bolshoi Balkhan ranges and in Kopet Dag. Its numbers have decreased dramatically in the last decades. Most of the population (estimated as several thousand animals) is concentrated in Central Kopet Dag Reserve. Among other rare and endangered mammal species protected in this ecoregion are: marbled polecat (Vormela peregusna koshevnikovi), otter (Lutra lutra seistanica), manul cat (F. manul ferrugineus), and a number of species of bats and rodents. Since the 1950s, the Turanian tiger (Panthera tigris virgata), Syrian brown bear (Ursus arctos syriacus) are both extinct. Lynx (Lynx lynx) has been extirpated. Table 1.

This is especially damaging when these activities occur in the upper watersheds causing soil erosion and mud floods in the river valleys, destroying riparian forests habitats. Traditionally, grazing pressure was spread more evenly. However, in recent decades, due to the collective land and farm ownership, it is more concentrated around the rural settlements. Overgrazing in the upper parts of the mountains lands lead to serious destruction of the grasslands and thus to mudflows, disturbing woodlands on the lower slopes. Dry summers of the last years dries out vegetation. Consequently, unusually hot fires destroy unique wild-fruit communities with a very long and difficult regeneration cycles. Turkmenistan is a newly independent state developing its laws of environmental protection. Insufficient protection measures in many cases fail to support natural regeneration and sustainability of forests and control on wild animal populations. Although the existing nature reserves are contributing significantly to the overall protected system of Kopet Dag’s most beautiful and diverse woodlands, they often lack effective management. As a result, the natural environment could be altered irreversibly. Types and Severity of Threats •uncontrolled grazing, encroachment on protected land •insufficient land management practices •poaching of ungulates and leopards •habitat destruction, wood is still the primary traditional energy source in rural areas Justification of Ecoregion Delineation In Turkmenistan, this ecoregion includes the savannas and open woodlands of the Kopet Dag-Khorosan region (Pereladova et al. 1998). In Iran, the ecoregion corresponds to Juniperus polycarpos steppe-forest remnants adjoining the border with Turkmenistan (Zohary 1973). Bukreev, S.A, editor. 1999.

Few authors are as revered as Jane Austen. She wrote just a handful of novels, but all have gone on to be classics, read and re-read by generations. Now, though, a crime author has made a startling claim: Lindsay Ashford believes Austen may have been poisoned. Indeed, the circumstances surrounding Austen's death have long been a bit mysterious. She died in 1817 at the age of 41. Experts haven't been able to come up with an exact cause of death, though most attribute her early demise to either cancer or Addison's disease. But Ashford now contends that the beloved author may have died of arsenic poisoning. What's the reason behind the new theory? A buzzy article from the UK's Guardian explains: Three years ago, Ashford moved to Austen's village of Chawton to write a new crime novel. After she arrived, she started examining old letters of Austen and found a sentence that struck her as particularly suspicious. Austen wrote: "I am considerably better now and am recovering my looks a little, which have been bad enough, black and white and every wrong colour." Ashford had done plenty of crime research for her own novels, and says she recognized the symptoms as consistent with arsenic poisoning. But that's not all. Ashford contacted the Jane Austen Society of North America with her newfound hunch--and the society's president told her that a lock of Austen's hair from a different museum was tested for arsenic and came up positive. Still, arsenic poisoning per se doesn't necessarily mean murder. Back in Austen's time, arsenic was used as a kind of medicine (and you thought your HMO was the pits). As Ashford told the Guardian, "After all my research I think it's highly likely she was given a medicine containing arsenic. When you look at her list of symptoms and compare them to the list of arsenic symptoms, there is an amazing correlation." While inadvertent arsenic poisoning may comport with the evidence and the cultural clues from Austen's day, Ashford isn't planning to let that stand in the way of a good story. According to the Guardian, she's currently writing a historical thriller that poses the question: What if Austen was murdered? After all, Austen imitators have already successfully linked up her oeuvre with the zombie genre so there's plenty of room for a whodunit in the Regency British vein. And Ashford has already settled on an appropriate title: The Mysterious Death of Miss Austen.

Uploaded on Mar 12, 2010 Collecting grasp data for learning and benchmarking purposes is very expensive. It would be helpful to have a standard database of graspable objects, along with a set of stable grasps for each object,. We have constructed a database consisting of several hands, thousands of objects, and hundreds of thousands of grasps. Using this database, we demonstrate a novel grasp planning algorithm that exploits geometric similarity between a 3D model and the objects in the database to synthesize form closure grasps. Our contributions are this algorithm, and the database itself, which we are releasing to the community as a tool for both grasp planning and benchmarking. related paper: The Columbia Grasp Database Corey Goldfeder, Matei Ciocarlie, Hao Dang and Peter K.
