New York Has Largest Eligible Fire List The New York municipal civil service commission sent to Fire Commissioner Drennan on July 6 the largest list of men eligible for appointment as firemen ever promulgated by the commission, numbering 2,222. The highest rating on the list was 96.70. The examination was held in April, 1921. As the maximum age was 35 and the minimum 21 when this examination was held, some of the men to be appointed may now be 37 years of age. According to Commissioner Drennan, it may be that some of these men at the end of the list would be 40 or 41 years old before they can be appointed and would probably have difficulty in passing the physical examination. When a man reaches the age of 40. according to Commissioner Drennan, he is, as a rule, hardly suitable to commence the life of a fireman.
TWO GREAT WATER TUNNELS. Two tunnels paralleling each other for part of their course have just been completed in New Jersey, through the Watchung mountains, above Montclair, for the supply of Newark and Jersey City. They represent an aggregate expenditure of nearly $15,000.000. That which is to convey the water from the Rockaway shed to Jersey City is the longest tunnel of any kind in the State, being 7,400 feet. The tunnel for the supply of Newark will bring the Pequan -nock water from the Cedar Grove reservoir. Although it is only one-half the length of Jersey City’s tunnel its construction presented equal difficulties, and in neither case did a single fatality take place, nor was there a shaft or air-hole driven to the sur face. Because of Contractor’ Flynn’s pecuniary embarrassments, the work was held up for six months, and a week or two ago the boring was completed, three years after it was begun, by the Hudson County funnel company, at a cost of $240,000. From above its western entrance to the Boonton reservoir, and from the eastern entrance the water is to be carried through steel pipes six feet in diameter. The excavation was made eleven and one-half feet square, and is being lined with a brick arch, backed by concrete. Its height and bottom width will he eight feet six inches. Trap rock and sandstone were the geological formations bored through. At a height of 240 feet above sea level, almost 300 feet lower than the Bonn ton reservoir, the floor of the tunnel is nearly level—the drop being only nine inches, just enough to admit 50,000,000 gallons (to be increased eventually to 70.000,000 when the second pipe line is laid) to have free run through, and even the sidewill be about halt covered. No pipes will be laid; the water will le turned directly into the tunnel from conduits at its farther extremity, with gatehouses and valves controling the (low at either end. In the case of the Cedar Grove tunnel for the supply of Newark because of a slight curve near the western end. where the 3.000-feet-long boring comes up into the middle of what is to be the storage reservoir, the boring presented engineering difficulties which were even greater than those caused by the length and difficulties in the way of the other. Its cost, when completed, which should have been last December, will be something less than $100,000. No pipes will be laid in this tunnel, which is horseshoe in shape, and seven feet in height. Like its fellow tunnel, it is run through trap rock and sandstone. Its capacity is 70,000.000 gallons—more than enough to feed two five-foot steel mains. The water will flow from the reservoir into one end of the mile-long storage basin through a standpipe, will be aerated, flowed back to the middle or northern end to allow of sedimentation, and then sent to the city through the tunnel and a five-foot steel pipe line to be built from its eastern end at Mountain avenue, Upper Montclair. A second may one day be laid. While the boring is being brick-lined and concreted a shaft twenty-seven feet deep is being sunk into the tunnel from the reservoir bottom. Through this shaft connection is to be made with the intake mains, so that, in ease of need, water from the Pequannock mains can be sent direct into the tunnel, and so to Newark without flowing through the outlet standpipe into the reservoir and through the gatehouse and subterranean conduit across the bottom of the reservoir that is to connect the gatehouse with the tunnel. As soon as the spring is sufficiently advanced, the cast iron pipes to bring the water from the tunnel mouth on the eastern side across Mountain avenue will be begun. A few hundred feet beyond the entrance the east iron pipes to connect with the steel mains which will bring the water to Newark. In the reservoir a double conduit of two five-foot east iron pipes is to be laid from the gate house to the tunnel entrance.one to be reserved for emergency, until the growth of the city makes the use of both necessary. The work on the Jersey City tunnel was under the direction of Charles W. Battee, of the Jersey City engineering corps. Albert Lozier was director of the Cedar Grove work.

SOUTH FLORIDA MANATEES, 1993 Manatees flock to South Florida in the winter for the pockets of life-sustaining warm water. Imagine everyone’s surprise if they had also shown up in skates to play hockey! The South Florida Manatees did not make the cut, but several elements of this design — the palm trees, the sun, the endangered animal — were not so far off the mark.

This week’s Canada’s Craft Beer post comes from our Eastern Canada craft beer guy, David Ort, as he looks at beer that breaks from tradition by adding fruit and herbs! In the world of craft beer, "adjunct beers" is a dirty word. In the glossary to Tasting Beer, Randy Mosher introduces the term as "any fermentable added to barley malt, especially rice, corn, and roasted unmalted wheat, roast barley, sugar, etc." Usually, it's used to refer pejoratively to beer that includes rice or corn for economy’s sake or to appeal to lowest-common-denominator palates. So, Molson Canadian and Labatt Blue are adjunct lagers. This spacious umbrella of a category also covers beers that have fruit in them. Here again we have a further division between good and evil. Some fruit beers are sickly sweet and marketed in an exceedingly patronizing way to customers. The shining light in the tunnel is really excellent beer that has fruit, vegetables (the technically correct label for pumpkin beer), and herbs for added, complex flavour. St. Ambroise Apricot Wheat The can says “apricot” twice (plus a third time in French), three of them are pictured on the label, but just in case, I want to be very clear that there is nothing subtle about the apricot in St. Ambroise Apricot Wheat. If you like a beer with a faint note of fruit that “lingers in the background” this may not be the one for you. From the can, this beer pours an attractive amber gold which becomes lighter yellow at the edges of my glass. It’s hard to find anything in the aroma other than bright, floral apricots. The flavour strikes a more even balance between an opening shot for the stone fruit and a malty, slightly bitter finish from the beer base. It’s a strong contrast that completes the necessary task of resetting my palate in anticipation of another sip. ABV 5% Available in ON, NS and QC Black Creek Lemon Balm Herbs don’t contain fermentable sugar so they are technically more of a flavouring than an adjunct. All the same, beers with herbs, this one included, are definitely variations from tradition. This Black Creek Bewery pale ale is a brassy gold with very little foam. The aroma features the harmonious combination of citrus zest and mint. Its flavour opens with an intriguing mild herbal notes and then swings to a malty and quite bitter ale note. Again, this swing is wild enough that I wanted to dip back into the glass to confirm what I’d observed. For wider distribution, a larger, commercial batch was made under contract at Trafalgar Ales and Meads. By visiting the Black Creek Historic Brewery in Toronto you can (at certain times of year) try the version brewed on their historically accurate brewing equipment and with lemon balm grown on the property. ABV 5% Available in ON I hope we’ve managed to shift two sets of opinion today. First, fruit beers don’t have to be overly saccharine and one-dimensional. Also, there are plenty of interesting options outside the usual brews for summertime experimentation. David writes about food, travel, and craft beer for various online and print publications. His first book, The Canadian Craft Beer Cookbook, is in bookstores and available for purchase online.

Pretty much everybody who has worked in a large organization knows that problem; the one we generally refer to as silos: people in a particular department or division only communicate with their peers, but when there is a problem or an opportunity that would require people from different units to coordinate, communication breaks down. Complex structures don’t solve silos It is a pervasive problem that occurs everywhere, whether you have geographic structure, a functional structure, product divisions or client-focused units. That is because there will always be issues that require coordination along different lines. Companies try to solve this by creating increasingly complex org charts: they create a matrix structure where one side represents geography and the other captures functional lines. They may add overlays for product groups, and insert dotted lines to achieve coordination across client projects. Eventually, nobody quite understands what the structure is and how it is supposed to work. I have literally witnessed multi-day workshops where people from corporate HR tried to teach employees what the new structure really was and how it was supposed to work – after which it gradually became painfully clear that they did not quite know it either. As explained in my book Breaking Bad Habits: Defy Industry Norms and Reinvigorate Your Business (Harvard Business Review Press, 2017), I propose a simple yet effective alternative for these multi-sided matrices with overlays and dotted lines that will help fix and even prevent silos from forming. Together with my colleagues professors Phanish Puranam, from INSEAD and Ranjay Gulati, from Harvard, we examined firms that opted for simple structures but which, instead, changed them regularly over time. Repeated, pro-active change Picking a simple structure – for instance a functional structure – but changing it every now and then – for instance to a product structure, and then a geographic one, and then back again to the old functional structure – has the advantage that it unleashes the power of your informal organization; particularly its social networks and corporate culture. That is because your informal organization only adapts very gradually to a new formal structure – and you can use that to your advantage. Once you have changed your functional structure into a product one, for example, your people will coordinate along product lines through formal meetings and reporting lines. But they will still have a functional mind-set and have a relationship with their former functional colleagues who are now scattered across different product units. This is wonderful, because it means you still get coordination along functional lines too, albeit it through your informal organisation. As a result you enjoy the best of both worlds. And all without silos. When after a few years your informal organisation has adapted to the formal product structure, in terms of people’s mind-sets and the informal networks they have within your organisation, you can again easily solve the problem by switching your organisational structure again, back into the old functional groupings or using some new criteria altogether. Don’t make increasingly complex organisational structures but, instead, pick a simple one, but dare to change it every now and then. A CEO who understood this well is Alfred West: founder and CEO of SEI Investments: a very large fund of fund managers, with hundreds of billions of dollars under management. He was described to me by his employees as a “serial changer”: he was often changing something in his organisation. This certainly did not always involve reshuffling everyone in the firm, and certainly also not as often as possible. But he was always busy changing something. When I spoke to him he was changing the company’s remuneration system, for example from individual incentives to team ones, or company-wide incentives. That is because West understood that there was no perfect solution in terms of an incentive system. But if, after some time, he felt that his employees were sufficiently aware of their own, individual contributions to the firm through their individual incentives, he might decide to widen their outlook by giving them company-wide ones, or vice versa. Al West understood that there was value in the process of change itself. And that by changing regularly he could get the balance right. If silos are a problem in your firm, and you have not been able to figure out a perfect solution in your organisation’s design, rest assured: that’s because there is no perfect solution. All organisational forms have advantages and disadvantages, and you can never solve them all. A better way to manage these trade-offs is to simply pick an organisational structure, and a simple one, and then commit to changing it every now and then. Are there no costs to this process? Costs of disruption, management time and employees having to adjust to new situations? Of course there are. But the point is that you when wait for the problems of silos to escalate, to such an extent that things really start to break down in your firm and you end up in crisis, the costs of managing your way out of that – if you’re going to manage it at all – will far outweigh the costs of any pro-active smaller changes. Invest now in doing regular, pro-active change to prevent silos for forming in the first place and, in the long run, it will end up saving you a lot more trouble.
On Dec. 31, 2016, Silvia Viso couldn’t sleep. After attending a New Year’s Eve mass at Good Shepherd Catholic Church with her husband, Julian, and son, Julian Jr., she had a burning in her heart to do something. “When I woke up, I told them I was going to make the nativity,” she said of the passion that motivated her to construct a massive scene that soon consumed an entire room in their Silver Lake home. “I was inspired to do this. I’ve done it with so much joy.” Viso’s nativity is more than a simple manger scene. Born in Argentina and raised in Central America, she remembered the large nativity scenes that are a Christmas tradition in the southern hemisphere. It was something she didn’t find in America — so she set about building her own. Though she doesn’t consider working on the nativity as a New Year’s resolution, on the first day of 2017, she set about her task. Incorporating both Bethlehem and Nazareth into the nativity, Viso mostly used recycled or donated materials. She etched and painted Styrofoam to form homes, tables and market stalls. She also used jewelry to make hookahs, — waterpipes used for smoking. A few other mediums she dabbled in included cardboard, clay, perfume bottles and plastic juice bottles. “I didn’t spend a lot of money. A lady at JOANN Fabric and Crafts and the art teacher at the middle school helped me out,” she said. “It was amazing. I had so many people that wanted to help me. When I had a new idea or a need, I would get it easily.” To look at the nativity, which includes intricate details into the lives of its people, one would never know it was made by hand. Fishermen cast lines into a stream that runs through the scene. Lights glow throughout. Viso explained how she researched each and every piece, as she picked up the high priest, the only person allowed to enter the temple. “I studied the costumes of the time Jesus was born and all the details are from the Bible,” she remarked, adding that she went as far as to construct three different types of sandals used during the time period. “(The high priest) wore bells (on the hem of his robe) so townspeople could hear him moving around. If they didn’t hear the bells for a while, they knew something was wrong.” The scene also tells stories of the people of the time. In the marketplace, vendors sell tiny loaves of bread, fish and spices, among other things. In the past year, she has added a huge Roman castle, complete with towers and walls, and a house that puffs smoke from the chimney. Viso has also constructed numerous caves, mountains, houses, an oasis with fake water that looks realistic and Hebrew water fountains. “I also have more children, pregnant women and Hebrews, that I have been collecting through the year,” she said. Viso’s labor of love is not for her family alone. The community is welcome to visit the nativity scene at their home, 213 Jeff Court. Like last year, the family plans to leave it up through the new year, perhaps until February. “I did this for children — they don’t get to see a lot of nativities,” she added. “This nativity is meant to touch the lives of people with no or little beliefs and to bring back the real purpose of Christmas.”

FAQs & Troubleshooting Can I apply my finish over an existing coating? The practical answer is……Possibly. Rule of thumb: You can generally apply the same type of coating over itself e.g., precat over precat, conversion varnish over conversion varnish, etc. Waterborne coatings can generally be applied over solvent-borne coatings, but not the other way around as they may lift/wrinkle the coating. Important Note: Overall film build is a concern with these types of finishes. If too much coating is applied, the finish can shatter or crack no matter which coating you are applying over the previous finish. Always consult your Gemini Sales or Technical representative before re-finishing, so that you may avoid any potential issues. How can I remove a blush? If the blush is in a nitrocellulose lacquer, it can be removed easily by mixing 50% thinner with 50% retarder and applying a mist coat to the surface of the blush. (The thinner will open the film and the retarder will allow the coating to stay open long enough for the blush dissipate.) You may also spray a light film of ABLUSH100 aerosol retarder on the blush to re-open the film and remove the blush. If the blush is in a pre or post-catalyzed coating that is cured, the blush will most likely not come out. However, if the coating is not completely cured it may be possible. How can I prevent a blush? If you are working in hot and humid conditions, it is always best to add retarder to the coating before you apply. This will slow the dry of the coating enough to prevent a moisture blush. Refer to the Product Data Sheet for the product you are using for the recommended type and amount of retarder to add. Why am I seeing bubbles in the film? Bubbles are usually caused by the coating drying too quickly and trapping air before it can exit the film. This can be either caused by high temperatures or too much air movement over the coating film while it is drying, causing it to skin over. This can be avoided by adding the correct amount and type of retarder to the coating before application. Refer to the Product Data Sheet for the product you are using for the recommended type and amount of retarder to add. What are fisheyes and what causes them? Fisheyes (AKA craters) usually appear as circular depressions in the film that can either be large or small. Sometimes they have raised edges like a crater and sometimes are less pronounced. Fisheyes can be caused by contamination of the surface, contamination of the product, or dirty air lines. Common causes are water or oil in the air supply, cleaners, and lubricants, etc. Check out our troubleshooting section below and read our 10 step process of elimination to help you discover the source of the contamination. Do precatalyzed lacquers have a limited shelf life? Precats have a shelf life of approximately 6-12 months from the date of manufacture depending on the formulation. They are made with the addition of a small amount of acid catalyst which helps to make the film more durable and chemical resistant. Using a precat past its shelf life is not recommended. Why can’t I get lacquer to flow? There are 2 likely reasons. It is likely too thick: - This could be by design (the particular product is designed to be thinned before use). - The lacquer/coating may be cold. Like the oil in your car, coatings increase in viscosity (get thick) when they are cold. If this happens you will need to add the correct thinner for that product until the coating becomes thin enough to flow out nice and flat. - The container may have been left open. This will allow the solvents in the container to evaporate which will cause the coating to be thick. The air temperature is very hot: - Another reason may be that the air temperature is too hot or there is excessive air movement in the immediate area. This may cause the lacquer/coating to dry too quickly, and it may set up before it can flow out completely flat. Adding the correct retarder for your coating will slow down the drying allowing the coating to flow out correctly.
The evolution of puzzles Some of the most well-acknowledged varieties of puzzle online games consist of jigsaw puzzles, Rubik’s dice and crossword puzzles. These classic sorts of puzzles have been simply remodeled into laptop video games, but the virtual trait of electronic online games authorized increasing the puzzle concept even additional making new genres. mmopixel.com of puzzle personal computer online games, speedily elevated thanks to the Web, as numerous of them grew to become on the web, browser-based video games. The effortless entry, big range and affordable rates are the principal advantages that led to the enormous achievement of online puzzle video games correlated with the escalating amount of individuals that engage in video games on-line.

The story takes place in 1757, during the French and Indian War (the Seven Years’ War), when France and Great Britain battled for control of the North American colonies. During this war, the French called on allied Native American tribes to fight against the more numerous British colonists. The Last of the Mohicans has been James Fenimore Cooper’s most popular work, and it has remained one of the most widely read novels throughout the world, and it has impacted the way many view both the American Indians and the frontier period of American history. The romanticized image of the strong, fearless, and ever resourceful frontiersman (i.e. Natty Bumppo), as well as the stoic, wise, and noble “red man” (i.e. Chingachgook) were notions derived from Cooper’s characterizations more than from anywhere else. And the phrase “the last of the Mohicans” has now been used oftentimes proverbially to refer to the sole survivor of a noble race or type.

Under the main computer, you will find four panes: these can all be customized by tapping and holding them until the list of available computers appear. You can stop the exercise any time you want using the button at the top right of the screen.
Sleep is a fundamental ingredient for good health and optimal physical functioning. If you struggle to sleep your daily light intake could be the problem. Did you know that light plays a major role in your sleep cycle? The brain interprets the presence of light or lack of it as a sign of when to be awake and when to sleep. Your circadian rhythm is designed around daylight, or the sun and it’s akin to your internal clock. It governs naturally occurring processes that happen during each 24 hour cycle like sleep, digestion and metabolism. Your digestion and internal organs develop a routine for processing the food that you eat, use fat, process inflammation and repair or regenerate cells. All of these occur more efficiently when we sleep at a similar time every night and wake up as the sun rises, with the light. However, the bright lights and screens of modern life can throw the body’s natural rhythm out of whack. Blue Light Disrupts Sleep An overload of blue light from devices stimulates our nervous system, making it harder to get to sleep and stay asleep. Laptops, televisions and phones are major culprits – especially before we go to bed – as our bodies would normally be winding down due to the lack of sunlight. But the bright blue confuses the body, signaling that it’s time to be awake even if we’re physically tired. Blue Light Disrupts Stress and Sleep Hormones Hormones that regulate the sleep cycle are also directly affected by the blue light from devices. Cortisol, a steroid hormone, tends to be highest in the morning, helping us to wake up and keeps us going. It tends to be lowest when we’re in our deepest sleep, typically around 3-4AM. Bright artificial light stimulates cortisol production further confusing our body’s natural sleep-wake cycle and keeping cortisol levels elevated. Melatonin, on the other hand, helps us fall asleep and stay asleep. It’s the counterpart to cortisol which our body starts producing in the early evening when we’re winding down and getting ready for sleep. Bright light, especially bright blue light from devices has been shown to disrupt melatonin production. The evidence is clear – to get a better night’s sleep, limit blue light at night: - Use dim red lights for night lights. Red light is less likely to throw out the body’s natural circadian rhythm - Avoid looking at bright screens 2-3 hours before bed - Wear blue-blocking glasses or install apps that filter the blue/green wavelength at night - Expose yourself to bright light during the day to boost your ability to sleep at night. This will also elevate your mood and alertness during the day. Most of us do not get nearly enough light during the day. Our sedentary lifestyles in front of our devices for work and play, surrounded by bright artificial light makes it even harder for us to get to sleep easily. Infrared therapy can help us counter the effects of this. Infrared saunas isolate the wavelengths of red and near-infrared radiation (NIR) light to provide the same benefits as full spectrum sunlight without the UV rays, excess heat or the risks of overexposure to the sun. Unlike blue light, red light does not act as a stimulant. Its low color temperature has a soothing effect on the body and it’s the most conducive wavelength to help keep you relaxed ready for a good night’s sleep. When your circadian rhythm is regulated, you feel more relaxed at night time and fall asleep faster and stay awake for longer. Red and NIR light helps boost the body’s cellular energy production capability and cuts down on oxidative stress. This, in turn, speeds up the healing process and reduces inflammation. Reducing pain and inflammation, and speeding up the healing process helps promote good sleep. Infrared therapy is fast becoming a popular and effective way to treat many health conditions, including chronic pain, stress and sleep difficulties. And it’s a natural alternative without the harmful side effects that can come from taking sleep medication. Interested to see what infrared therapy can do for you?

Great Play uses the SCORE™ Method of training. Elsewhere, such as in sports leagues, children may be exposed to a so-called "sink-or-swim" method of learning a new skill. This involves showing and/or explaining a complex skill, such as hitting a baseball or shooting a basketball, and having children potentially experience the frustration of failure over an extended period prior to being able to perform the skill. Younger children may have this same experience with learning basic motor skills on their own – walking, running, manipulation skills, etc. Problems with the sink-or-swim method include: Failure Isn't Fun The process of acquiring motor skills should itself be enjoyable and build self-esteem at every step. Failure Can Lead to Dropout If it isn't fun, your child may give up and stop progressing altogether. We all want to do things that we are "good at" and get praised along the way for succeeding. Early success creates confidence, interest, and the desire to achieve. But, an early failure can snowball into a permanent setback. Bad Habits Can Result In order to bridge the gap between an inability to perform a skill (e.g., swinging the bat) and the desire to get a result (e.g., making contact with a ball) the child may take his or her own short cuts that adversely affect skills. That is, they might get a "good result" using "bad form." If not quickly corrected, they may then proceed to burn that poor technique into muscle memory through repetition. This can be worse than not having learned the skill at all. The bad form might have to be "unlearned" to make progress in the future. Foundation skills that form the basis for other more complex skills are particularly important to learn properly. Children May Identify Their Physical Capabilities As Inferior – This is Tragic If a child concludes "I'm not good at sports or physical activity", they may never overcome this thought. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy as the child opts out of games at school or in free time, and falls further behind their peers. It is also completely unnecessary – all able-bodied children can be taught to be athletically competent, so they can participate and enjoy an active life. Attitude Isn't Enough A positive, supportive attitude is important for coaches, but it is not enough. Helping children routinely succeed requires a good system. Children will eventually see through someone cheering for them as they fail. However, they will thrive on success. It is important for parents to recognize when your child is experiencing sink-or-swim training and be alert to spot potential problems, particularly in the event a child is beginning to "sink." Intervening with a SCORE approach can help.
The health care industry in the states is extraordinary since despite a great deal competitors, incorporating within the wins and failures will bring you practically nothing, that is peculiar because competition generally improves value via cheaper fees & higher quality. The insurance firms have concentrated on lowering And relocating fees, maximizing their bargaining strength & constraining professional services, as though it was a asset. They have offered wide services without differentiation, basing the competition on handiness & track record within their market place of vicinity. Competition is supposed to supply the highest value for individuals resulting in further innovation. This cannot make insurance providers appear to be gods but will center on practice locations which will serve particular illnesses & problems with superior quality, less expensive solutions. Overall health programs will get rid of their limits enabling participants to select from the market the insurers that provide the most superb importance for condition. It will also help customers decide by guidance them, and offering information that gauge the benefit receiving by insurance companies. But, unfortunate to mention, competition is not really like this but the opposite. However competition that will depend on worth is not a concept and, actually, is taking place. Some insurance companies are starting to deliver unconventional providers, even building the facilities And groups to deliver them. They are also amassing the data to judge their efficiency and make their professional services far better.Level of competition is regarded as an incredibly effective force in powerful enhancement in top quality & reducing of fees. And also this is accurate in other places or maybe the on this page but also in other market sectors. America creates far more competitors compared to other Mr asif Ali Gohar throughout the world yet the paradox is definitely the prices are high & improving without having conditions of top quality. Your competition that has been going on is not really the best type. The insurance coverage companies are healing health care being a investment. They have centered in reducing the expense and creating their competitive edge using the results of one happening at the cost of other folks. The focus is on relocating the expenses to opponents, interesting clientele, growth in dimensions to be able to elevate dealing power, constraining possibilities And services, and then finally relying on legal action.The result of all of these is big wellness plans without having differentiation and insurance coverage system that tensions range And dimensions. Endeavors to alter are already futile, while they didn’t cope with the main of the issue. Focusing especially on problems will follow in developing a more devoted crew, accumulating establishments which permit for enhanced effectiveness of professional treatment.
Today the name Linzeler is best remembered for the brief partnership between Robert Linzeler and Alexander Marchak and the fact that between them Linzeler et Marchak created some of the most exciting jewels of the Art Deco period. Long before this however, Robert’s grandfather Eugène Linzeler (1808-1888) a goldsmith, sculptor and engraver founded his eponymous business in Paris in 1840. Both his brothers had also established their own goldsmith workshops independent of each other from where they created what was described as artistic and gem-set jewellery. Eugène had previously worked with Joseph Legrand and had a close working relationship with the jeweller Chabrolli. When the latter’s business collapsed, Linzeler was owed a lot of money, so in 1845 he took over the ex-Chabrolli shop at 11, Boulevard de la Madeleine and moved his own business into the premises. The business was successful and sold jewellery, goldwork and small objet such as scent bottles. Eugène was liked and admired by his staff and colleagues and was held in high regard by members of the wider trade. For many years he served as treasurer of the Chambre Syndicale de la Bijouterie Joaillerie Orfèvrerie and when he finally retired in 1883, he was made an honorary member. He had been joined in the business in 1864 by his two eldest sons Eugène (1834-1898) and Frédéric (1836-1908) and they were followed in due course by his two younger sons from his second marriage, Charles Albert who was known as Albert (1844-1907) and George (1853-1927). The four brothers changed the name to Linzeler Frères and ran it between them for some years before George and his brother Eugène took over most of the day to day responsibilities. They were joined by Eugène’s son Ernest (1865-1940) and in 1885 the business moved a few doors down to number 15 Boulevard de la Madeleine from where it continued to operate for several years before closing in 1889.

What is Diastolic heart failure or Diastolic dysfunction? It is a chronic condition of the heart in which the heart loses its ability to pump enough blood to meet the demands of the body. It is a very common condition of the heart responsible for a large number of deaths every year. This type of heart failure takes place because the ventricles do not fill properly or fully which leads to lower cardiac output, as there is not enough blood in the left ventricle to start with. This finally leads to decreased or reduced ejection of blood. How does the Diastolic heart failure take place? Here is a stepwise attempt to explain the diastolic dysfunction of the heart in a very simple way: The heart is a big muscle that works to pump blood to the parts of the body. During diastolic heart failure, the heart has to work very hard in order to pump the blood which in turn makes the muscles of the heart bigger and thicker. There could be many reasons for the heart to work harder than regular to pump blood to the body, one of them being the size of the ventricles becomes larger. Whatever may be the reason, but it make the ventricles bigger, tighter and stiffer. The same thing happens when you workout in the gym, you break your muscles fibers by working on it which later becomes more thick and stiff. But in this case, it is not like your other muscles which look good when you work it out with. When the ventricle becomes thick it loses its elasticity and therefore it has to work harder and harder to pump blood. As a result, it becomes tighter and tighter and loses its efficiency to pump blood and the ability to relax. This, in turn, is responsible for shortness of breath, fatigue and eventually leads to Heart Failure(HF). In the condition of Diastolic heart failure, the left ventricle of the heart loses its elasticity and hence, becomes stiffer. This causes the heart to pump lesser blood to the parts of your body and the heart does not relax the way it should. This eventually leads to the condition of Diastolic heart failure. Etiology(causes) of Diastolic heart failure Most commonly diastolic heart failure is caused due to the process of natural ageing of the heart. The heart looses its flexibility with time and therefore becomes stiff, which in turn gives rise to this condition. Some other causes of Diastolic dysfunction are- - Coronary artery disease(CAD)– Due to this disease the arteries that supply blood to the heart get blocked. The blocking of the arteries results in decreased blood supply to the heart which in turn causes the heart to pump lesser blood. - High blood pressure- High blood pressure may cause the heart to thicken its walls in an attempt to pump against high blood pressure. - Obesity- Obesity is always known to be a big risk to the heart. It also contributes to Diastolic dysfunction as inactivity makes the heart work more to pump blood to your body. - Diabetes– Commonly People with diabetes type-2 are found to be suffering from this problem. - Inheritance– Also known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, this inherited abnormality causes the heart muscles to thicken. And a stiff heart eventually leads to the diastolic heart failure. The regular symptoms of diastolic heart failure include- - Shortness of breath - Reduced concentration levels - Tiredness, weakness - Breathlessness or shortness of breath during workouts - Reduced appetite - Swelling in feet, ankle, and abdomen because of fluid retention in the body - Irregular heartbeat - Sudden weight gain To discover that you are suffering from the diastolic heart failure your cardiologist is going to perform a set of tests, after knowing your medical history. The most common tests that are performed for the diagnosis are as follows: - Blood test - Echocardiogram test - Stress test - X-Ray of chest - Electrophysiology test Systolic vs diastolic failure of the heart- The actual difference Both diastolic and sytolic heart failure are different from each other and affect us in different ways. Systolic heart failure- Systolic heart failure is caused when your heart is not able to contract properly, this means that the left ventricle is unable to push blood to the parts of the body as it should. Diastolic heart failure- This type of heart failure is caused when the heart is not able to relax properly, due to the thickening of the left ventricle muscles. Can Diastolic dysfunction of the heart reversed? This is a very commonly raised question by the new heart patients, unfortunately, there is no cure for diastolic dysfunction. But the good thing is that proper medication and treatment can help prevent and control the symptoms. All types of diastolic heart failures cannot be controlled by medications, and therefore you need to take the required steps to prevent the situation from getting worse. Necessary preventive steps that you must take note of(PRO TIPS) Regular health check ups- Make sure that you are in touch with your doctor, regular check ups are very important to control the situation as symptoms can become severe without knowledge. A healthy eating habit will always help you keep at bay fromnot only heart diseases but also other diseases. Adding powerful super foods to your diet on a daily basis will definitely help you with symptoms. Maintain a healthy weight An person is always at a risk of getting cardiac and other types of disorders, therefore, if you are obese you must exercise a little to maintain your weight. Stop unhealthy practices Smoking and high consumption of alcohol will never help you in the long run. Such unhealthy practices may accelerate your symptoms. Therefore, these practices must be avoided completely. Diastolic heart failure treatment The Prognosis of diastolic heart failure may differ from person to person depending on the stage of diastolic heart failure. The medications and treatment that you may be needing can be prescribed to you only by your doctor. Thus, it is adviseable that you do not take any medicine or drug on your own, without a doctors approval.
The DH and I are almost done with our first summer project (chicken coop/pen) and I have been thinking about what I wanted to do next... Well my biggest problem right now is the slugs and snails eating EVERYTHING. Iv tried hand picking (and I still do that too) Iv tried egg shells, coffee grounds, poison's (only thing that made a difference enough to let my seedling's grow) but now I can't use it.... so Iv come up with another idea. Build a frog pond. Shouldn't be that hard, I had a Koi pond before and still have virtually everything the frog pond wound need, a plastic liner, a sunny space, a filter and pump, the chem's to treat the water. ect. Plant bird and butterfly attracting foliage. I have bluejay's pigeons and (what I call) parking lot birds that roost and sleep in our Oak trees. If I can plant more that will attract them to my garden maybe they will snack on some yummy slug's! Beer... I'm going to get some left over party cup's from the last B-day party I threw dig some holes and pop the sucker's down in there... so if the frog's don't get em, and the bird's don't get em..... the beer will! And this is less of an attack more of a barrier... copper tape. I'm going to place copper tape all the way around my raised veggie bed's and any other pot's or plant's that need protecting. (more like a decoy) Plant mint every where I can.... Iv noticed the slugs and snails will eat that mint down to the ground. They LOVE it. And id rather have holy Mint that I don't care about than all my veggies eaten up! Any problem's with my plan?
Summary Information \| State of the Climate \| National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) Yesterday's Guardian gives a full report: Shattered records show climate change is an emergency today, scientists warnUnprecedented temperature levels mean more heatwaves, flooding, wildfires and hurricanes as experts say global warming is here and affecting us now May was the 13th month in a row to break temperature records according tofigures published this week that are the latest in 2016’s string of incredible climate records which scientists have described as a bombshell and an emergency. The series of smashed global records, particularly the extraordinary heat in February and March, has provoked a stunned reaction from climate scientists, who are warning that climate change has reached unprecedented levels and is no longer only a threat for the future. Alongside the soaring temperatures, other records have tumbled around the world, from vanishing Arctic sea ice to a searing drought in India and thevast bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef. The UK has experienced record flooding that has devastated communities across the country and scientists predict that the flash floods seen by parts of the country in recent days will increase in future. “The impacts of human-caused climate change are no longer subtle – they are playing out, in real time, before us,” says Prof Michael Mann, at Penn State University in the US. “They serve as a constant reminder now of how critical it is that we engage in the actions necessary to avert ever-more dangerous and potentially irreversible warming of the planet.” It was just last December when the world’s nations sealed a deal in Paris to defeat global warming but Prof Stefan Rahmstorf, at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, says: “These [records] are very worrying signs and I think it shows we are on a crash course with the Paris targets unless we change course very, very fast. I hope people realise that global warming is not something down the road, but it is here now and it affecting us now.” “What is happening right now is we are catapulting ourselves out of the Holocene, which is the geological epoch that human civilisation has been able to develop in, because of the relatively stable climate,” says Rahmstorf. “It allowed us to invent agriculture, rather than living as nomads. It allowed a big population growth, it allowed the foundation of cities, all of which required a stable climate.” But the spikes in global surface temperatures in recent months have been anything but stable. They did not just break the records, they obliterated them. “The numbers are completely unprecedented,” says Adam Scaife, at the Met Office in the UK. “They really stick out like a sore thumb.” The scorching temperatures mean 2016 is all but certain to be the hottest year ever recorded, beating the previous hottest year in 2015, which itself beat 2014. This run of three record years is also unprecedented and, without climate change, would be a one in a million chance. Scaife says: “Including this year so far, 16 of the 17 warmest years on record have been since 2000 – it’s a shocking statistic.” Thermometer records go back to 1880, but ice cores, tree rings and corals show global warming driven by humanity’s burning of fossil fuels and forests has left the planet at its hottest for at least 5,000 years. “If we are not above this [temperature] already, we will be in 10 or 20 years’ time and then you have to go back 120,000 years to find higher temperatures than present,” says Rahmstorf. Another shattered record is the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is on course to rise by a record amount this year, leaving the symbolic landmark of 400 parts per million to history. “We know from Antarctic ice cores that go back almost a million years that CO2 was never even remotely as high as this,” says Rahmstorf, and the rate at which humanity is emitting CO2 is thefastest for 66m years. Fast-rising CO2 levels are almost entirely the reason for the record-busting year. But the natural climate phenomenon called El Niño has played a part. Cyclical changes in ocean temperatures over decades lead to El Niños during which stored heat is released from the oceans, impacting temperatures and weather around the globe. Scientists agree about a fifth of the temperature rise seen in recent months is due to El Niño. However Scaife says: “I suspect some of the months would have still been records, even without the El Niño”. He points out that 1998 saw an ever bigger El Niño, resulting in a record hot year, but that this has now been far surpassed: “It is not even in the running anymore, falling way down the list.” El Niño is now waning into to its opposite phase, called La Niña. But that does not allay the scientists’ climate concerns: “The La Niña will not be as cool as the El Niño was warm. We are very, very sure of that,” says Scaife. “It probably means that 2017 will not be a record year, but compared to other La Niña years, it is likely to be much warmer than normal.” Furthermore, there may be more to the record-breaking series than meets the eye. “There is something more going on than the usual global warming trend and El Niño, because in the past El Niño has led to single years breaking records, but it has not caused several years in a row to break records,” says Rahmstorf. “There is some unexplained part to this and it is concerning, because we don’t understand it and it is hotter than expected,” he says. “I hope the data coming in the next six months or so will bring us some important clues.” The heat so far has already had major impacts, including a record temperature of 51C in India amid a serious drought and a record warm autumn in Australia, as well as many in the US. “It is in my view highly unlikely that we would be seeing record drought, like we’re seeing in California, record flooding in Texas, unprecedented wildfires in western North America, and the strongest recorded hurricanes in both the northern and southern hemisphere were it not for the impact of human-caused global warming,” says Mann. Killer heatwaves are increasing too, which is the clearest impact of global warming, says Rahmstorf: “Our analysis of monthly heat records around the globe shows they now occur five times as often. It is those monthly heat records that are representative of heatwaves that last for weeks on end and they are ones that take the highest death toll.” The UK has been affected too, with December breaking temperature and rainfall records. “Climate change means more intense rainfall and therefore an increased risk of flooding,” says Bob Ward, policy director at the London School of Economics’ Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment. “The government, which got caught out by two record wet winters in the last three, has suddenly woken up to the fact, which is why they have set up theNational Flood Resilience Review. It is now something we are all going to have to come to terms with in the UK.” Ward says seeing the records broken may mean more people make the connection between action on to cut emissions, such as support for green energy, and the impacts of global warming. He says the global climate deal agreed in December shows every government already knows this is a problem that needs urgent action, but that the high temperatures already occurring will increase the emphasis on adapting to extreme weather events in addition to cutting carbon emissions. “The impacts we’re beginning to see are just the start and we know we are going to be facing a worsening situation for at least the next couple of decades even if we do cut emissions,” Ward says. “What’s worrying [about the record-breaking 2016] is that we are in unprecedented territory and we don’t really know what the consequences will be,” he says. “There are likely to be plenty of surprises, some of which will be nasty.” Shattered records show climate change is an emergency today, scientists warn \| Environment \| The Guardian
You’ve probably never heard of this skeleton – it’s kept quiet by evolutionists. This well-authenticated discovery had been in the British Museum in London for nearly 70 years. In 1812, a 5′ 2″ fully human female skeleton was found, missing only the feet and head. It was found inside hard, ancient limestone, that was part of a formation more than a mile long! Modern geological dating places this formation at 28 million years old! When the two-ton limestone block, containing Guadeloupe Woman, was displayed in the British Museum in 1812, it was displayed as proof of the Genesis Flood. But that was 20 years before Lyell and nearly 50 years before Darwin. In 1881, the exhibit was quietly taken down to the basement and hidden there. Of course, these are some proposed “ape men” you may have heard of – but with the other side of the story you probably haven’t heard. There are apes and there are men, but NO ape-men.

If you have lax schedules you can slow it down a bit and crawl to Galways in a bus. Though it will be quite a long journey, about three hours to be precise, you will get a chance to enjoy the breathtaking sights along the way. You may even decide to take the journey with fellow visitors. There are bus tours complete with experienced tour guides ready to give you a memorable experience. If you prefer rail, there are trains in Dublin-Galway route. The journey will also take around three hours, and as if to compensate the fatigue you will be served with panoramic views along the way. 5 Spots to check out during Galway Tours - Galway city You even don’t have to leave the city environs to be awed. There are many spots right within Galway town you will find interesting. You can sample the Spanish Arch. It’s a 16th century monument that’s interesting. Experience the Irish heritage at Galway City Museum. The national Irish language theater, Taibhdhearc na Gaillimhe is a must stop. Have a look at the impressive Galway Cathedral situated on the banks of River Corrib. Or the medieval Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas. Eyre Square, as called John F. Kennedy Memorial Park is a fine spot to relax. Lynch’s Castle and Dunguaire Castle are some monuments you can check out. If you have some time left, sum it up at Galway Bay. - The cliffs of Moher The cliff is perhaps the most spectacular natural sight in Ireland. Listed in the UNESCO world heritage sites, it attracts over a million visitors annually. In deed it’s the highlight of Galway tours. The Cliffs of Moher takes its name from an ancient promontory fort called Mothar or Moher. The fort is said to have been destroyed during the Napoleonic wars. The epic beauty of the cliff however erodes all the evidence of destruction. Towering a whopping 700 feet (213m) and stretching about 5 miles (8km) and overlooking the Atlantic, the cliffs are a sight to behold. There are many things you could do at the cliffs. Visitors always look forward to the thrilling walk along the 800m pathway. Be sure to stop over at the three viewing points and get different views of the cliff. At the highest point, O’Brien’s Tower, gives you unlimited vistas view all round. On a clear day you can see the three Aran Islands, Liscannor and Lahinch. Then the place you don’t dare go with your camera’s memory almost full. The birds viewing point is just beyond description. Too beautiful. Here you will get to see different species of birds. And don’t leave without visiting the underground Visitors’ Center and picking a souvenir. - Connemara National Park This a 2957 hectares of land scattered with mountain ranges, rugged bogs, grassland and forest, lakes and great beaches. You can experience Connemara in different ways. You can take a walk along the walking trails as you marvel at the amazing nature. At the 400m high Diamond Hill you get a good vistas view of the surrounding. As you check out the birds and wildlife, don’t leave out the exhibitions at the Visitors’ Center. - The Iran Islands It’s a group of three islands: Inis Mor, Inis Oirr and Inis Meain. The landscape is rugged with many cliffs. From monuments to natural attractions, there is a lot to see in the roughly 46km stretch. As you walk or cycle find these intriguing sites: Dun Aonghasa, the Worm Hole, Stone Walls, Black Fort, Light House and Dun Eochaill, the Seven Churches among others. - The Burren This jaw-dropping natural attraction is shared by both Co Galway and Co Clare. In Gaelic, burren means rocky place. It’s famous for its eccentric rock formations. The predominantly karst landscape, cracked limestone pavements. It’s also littered with caves and cliffs over the 250 square kilometers of land. Check out the smallest national park in Ireland, the Burren National Park. There are several monuments one could tour, for example: Corcomroe Abbey, Caherconnell Stone Fort and Poulnabrone dolmen. Prehistoric tombs can also be viewed. Three things you can do at the Burren. Foremost, take a walk in the calm environment. The rocky terrain is also suitable for rock climbing. If you love caving there are sufficient caves to just that.

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News Profile: Victoria Brocoy Victoria Brocoy was a participant or observer in the following events: The Woodland Park Resort. [Source: Woodland Park Resort]9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta takes flying lessons in the Philippines, and 9/11 hijacker Marwan Alshehhi is with him. They stay at the Woodland Park Resort Hotel near Angeles City, which is about 60 miles north of Manila and near the formerly US controlled Clark Air Base. Victoria Brocoy, a chambermaid at the hotel, will later claim that Atta stayed at the hotel for about a week while he learned to fly ultra-light planes at the nearby Angeles City Flying Club. [Gulf News, 9/29/2001; Gulf News, 10/2/2001] She also says, “He was not friendly. If you say hello to him, he doesn’t answer. If he asks for a towel, you do not enter his room. He takes it at the door.… Many times I saw him let a girl go at the gate in the morning. It was always a different girl.” [International Herald Tribune, 10/5/2001] Atta stays with some other men who call him Mohamed. She recalls that one of them is Marwan Alshehhi, who is treated like Atta’s sidekick. However, there are no recollections of Alshehhi going to the nearby flight school. [Manila Times, 10/2/2001; Gulf News, 10/2/2001] She says Atta was hosted by a Jordanian named Samir, who speaks Filipino and runs a travel agency in Manila. She adds that many Arab guests stayed at the hotel between 1997 and 1999, and Samir always accompanied them. Samir denies knowing any of the hijackers. [Gulf News, 9/29/2001; Manila Times, 10/2/2001; International Herald Tribune, 10/5/2001] The Philippine military will later confirm that Atta and Alshehhi were at the hotel after finding four other employees who claim to have seen them in 1999. Other locals, such as the manager of a nearby restaurant, also recall seeing them. [Philippine Star, 10/1/2001; Gulf News, 10/2/2001; International Herald Tribune, 10/5/2001; Asia Times, 10/11/2001] Atta and/or Alshehhi were seen at the same resort in 1997 (see 1997) and will return to it later in 1999 (see December 1999). A leader of a militant group connected to al-Qaeda later confesses to helping 9/11 hijacker pilots while they were in this area (see Shortly After October 5, 2005).

Despite committing to deforestation-free supply chains, the top 10 food and beverage companies lack policies to protect the activists and communities caring for the environment from intimidation, threats and attacks, according to a new Oxfam report. Commercial farming of some everyday food ingredients, like soy and palm oil, are driving massive deforestation in tropical countries, including Brazil, Colombia and Indonesia. In recent years, attacks and threats against environmental defenders, who are standing up against the unchecked expansion of these commodities into the forests, have escalated. In “Pathways to Deforestation-Free Food,” Oxfam reveals how the biggest food brands and their suppliers don’t have policies protecting the lives of these defenders. “These industry giants need to not only pledge to protect the forests, but the communities and indigenous people living within them,” said Oxfam America’s Senior Climate Policy Advisor Aditi Sen. “We urge companies to adopt zero-tolerance policies for attacks against human rights defenders and publicly advocate for safe spaces for civil society.” “While we support the progress the food industry has made to combat deforestation associated with its supply chains, it’s crucial for them to build business models that also ensure people’s rights and livelihoods are protected. In the long run, rates of deforestation are a lot lower when community rights over their lands and forests are safe.” Companies are also lagging in workers’ and farmers’ rights – none of them have strong enough sourcing requirements to ensure that small-scale farmers and workers in their supply chains can earn living incomes or wages. The report also finds that companies are not doing enough to translate their policy commitments into practical action. Few companies are tracing their supply chain back to the farm, where most of the environmental and human rights violations occur. Companies need to track and disclose the practices of their suppliers and proactively identify and address with the environmental and human rights risks in their supply chains. The companies analyzed in Oxfam’s report include the ‘Big 10’ targeted by the Behind the Brands campaign - Associated British Foods (ABF), Coca-Cola, Danone, General Mills, Kellogg, Mars, Mondelez, Nestle, PepsiCo and Unilever, and three major traders supplying to the brands – Archer Daniels Midlands (ADM), Cargill and Wilmar. “These defenders safeguard the world’s forests and natural resources, help combat the global climate crisis, and fight for the rights of their communities. The food and beverage industry shouldn’t turn their backs on these brave activists,” said Sen. Download the report
Students take a pre-assessment and are placed in the course based on how well they performed. The students have a pie that represents the total number of topics they have mastered compared to the total number of topics in the course. Students have the freedom to move through their pie and pick from a number of topics that are available to them. When they select a topic they read through a tutorial to learn the concept. Then the student is expected to answer a similar question 3 – 4 times before the topic is considered mastered and then added to the pie. - The student can test out of content and push ahead based on the outcome of the initial pretest. If a the initial pretest indicates a mastery of less than 15% or more than 80%, then we know that the student needs to be moved to the previous or next course. - At any time students have multiple choices as to what to work on. The student can’t say, “I’m stuck” without having tried each of the 5 – 20 topics available to work on. - This curriculum is VERY thorough–the typical gaps in a student’s math skills are solved with this curriculum. If a student earns a credit in pre-algebra via ALEKS, there is absolutely no doubt that the student is prepared for success in algebra. - The Mastery Checks continue to verify that a student’s mastery of an idea is solid. Students don’t slide by with “almost” knowing the content and getting lucky on a couple of sample problems. - There is no variety in how the material is presented; no secondary options when the student needs a second approach to a topic. There are no videos. - If a student’s knowledge isn’t solid, the Mastery Checks will remove pie-slices and send the student back to redo. This is not really a CON, but if kids aren’t prepared for it they will be frustrated. Would you like to briefly demo this program?
منطقه آزاد ارس - نمایش محتوای تولیدات ویژه Aras Free Trade - Industrial Zone (AFZ) Aras Free Zone is located in Northwest Iran at the border point neighboring Armenia, Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. According to the Decree No. 20708/T/530820 dated 28 June 2005 of the Board of Ministers, the area of Aras Free Zone included 9,700 hectares of the lands of the region. This area was expanded on 4 December 2008 to 51,000 hectares based on the new decree of this Board, including some parts of Jolfa and Kaleybar towns. This approved area in the attached part has increased the main district from 9,700 hectares to 20,500 hectares, and in three detached parts makes up totally 51,000 hectares of entire Aras Free Zone including a part of the Kaleibar city with the area of 24,000 hectares (called Gholi Beig Lou) and the vicinity of Khodafarin Dam with the area of 6,100 hectares as well as the district of Norduz Customs (Iran-Armenia border) with the area of 240 hectares. This organization was established by the decree of the Islamic Consultative Assembly on 24 August 2003 in order to accelerate the economic development of this region. The city of Jolfa is located in the northwest of East Azerbaijan Province, between 45°17? to 46°31? of eastern longitude and 38°39? to 39°2? of northern latitude as a narrow strip on the northern border of the Province.

The area of this city is 1670.31 km2 and the city of Kaleibar is located in the eastern part of this town and the cities of Marand and Ahar are considered its southern neighbors. On average, the width of the city is 17 km and its length is 100 km. Jolfa is the capital city and is located 137 km away from northwest of Tabriz and 65 km from north of Marand. In terms of the area, Jolfa is considered among the small towns of the Province and with an area of 1670.31 km2 only covers %3.4 of the total area of the Province and in this regard stands at the twelfth place. The central district of the city of Jolfa includes Shoja and Erasi municipalities. The city of Jolfa is located in the geographic district of Shoja municipality and Hadishahr city is located in the geographic district of Erasi municipality. In terms of political divisions, the city of Julfa has two districts namely the Central and Siahroud districts as well as five villages namely western Dizmar[disambiguation needed], Noje Mehr, Arasi, Daran and Shoja.

Sunflowers are in peak season right now — you might have noticed them at the farmers market or fields and yards. The seeds are a great low glycemic, natural snack on their own, and add healthy fats, vitamin E, magnesium and antioxidants to our No-Grain Granola and Seed and Nut Bars. Vitamin E is important for a healthy immune system, skin, and eyesight. Magnesium helps regulate blood pressure and is vital for strong bones and a healthy heart. It can help lower stress, improve sleep and plays a key role in metabolism. Sunflower seeds also provide linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid our bodies require) and phytosterols (which lower cholesterol). And, of course, they’re fun to shell and grow into lovely flowers. There’s more to sunflowers than just great nutritional value and appearance, though. Native to North America, they’ve been used for dye, oil, and food for thousands of years. Intrigued? Here’s more fascinating information on sunflowers: - The first archeological evidence of sunflowers being cultivated dates to around 2600 B.C. in Tabasco, Mexico. - The flowers follow the sun, and the spiral created by the seeds follow the Fibonacci sequence, creating a golden spiral. - Sunflowers come in sizes for any occasion, from 3 feet tall to 18 feet tall — the tallest sunflower recorded in the Guinness World Records reached 28 feet and 8 inches. - Sunflowers pull heavy metals (like lead) out of the soil, as well as radioactive material, making them a prime candidate for cleaning up toxic areas. - The sunflower is the national flower of Ukraine, the state flower of Kansas, USA and are often used as an international symbol for nuclear disarmament. - 10 year old Russell Lothrop, a student at Northside Primary School in Gaborone, Botswana, organized 724 students and teachers dressed as sunflowers to create a new Guinness World Record. If you’re looking for a healthy snack, cheerful bouquet, or great costume idea the sunflower has it all.

Farm applications: such as Livestock Watering, Drinking Water Disinfection, Dairy, Milking Operations, Pre- and Post-Teat Dip, CIP Sanitizer, Poultry Cooling & Humidification Pad Treatment, Irrigation & Drip Line Cleaning, Iron and Manganese Removal from Water Supply. Why Pig Farm Biosecurity matters for you Keeping your livestock as protected from disease agents as possible is as important as any other aspect of your business. The measures put in place to accomplish that are known as biosecurity, and today, more than ever, they are essential for any farming business. There are two aspects to biosecurity, the first are measures taken to avoid any pathogens and diseases entering your farm or the herd itself, and these are known as external biosecurity. Internal biosecurity is the second, and these measures are focused on the prevention of any disease spreading within the herd, or across the farm to other herds if some animals are found to carry the pathogen. For both aspects of Biosecurity, there are three main components, these are: Keeping your livestock segregated from other animals that may carry an infection is the simplest way to avoid that infection. After all, if the pathogen never enters the farm or herd, it can never contaminate either. Barriers around the farm, or individual herds in the case of internal biosecurity, can prevent most contamination as long as they are applied correctly and well maintained. This means that no animals should enter or leave their specific holding wherever possible, not just pigs, but any animals on the farm, and as far as possible, humans as well. This is because other animals and humans can carry the infection into other areas unwittingly. By reducing movement, you eliminate the possibility of infection. Of course, while segregation is the foundation for biosecurity, at some point, materials, people, and objects such as vehicles, will have to enter or leave the farm and animal holdings. The next step in biosecurity comes at this point, and that is cleanliness. For vehicles, people and anything else transported across a barrier, ensuring everything is thoroughly cleaned of all visible dirt every time can remove most contaminants. The most common way contaminants are transported is within the urine, fecal matter or other bodily emissions that stick to the surface of the object, cleaning off that matter will therefore also remove the contaminate itself. This can be accomplished with a combination of soap and water, using a brush for smaller objects like boots, over trousers and equipment, or a pressure washer for larger items such as vehicles. It is crucial that this cleaning is carried out on anything travelling across a barrier, and it is done for all items travelling in both directions, in or out of the farm, holding or other segregated areas. Applied effectively, a disinfectant can neutralize any infection remaining on cleaned objects, and can also be used to ensure that drinking water for animals is free from any pathogen. ECA Technology delivers the Solution you need At Kirkmayer we have developed a system that produces a disinfectant solution, non-toxic and degradable, capable of destroying bacteria, spores, viruses, molds, yeasts, fungi, biofilms (biological incrustations) on pipes and removing odors. The system requires only water, Sodium or Potassium Chloride (salt) and electricity to produce very effective disinfectant, called Anolyte. As noted in several scientific publications, multicellular organisms, including humans and hot blood mammals, defend themselves against pathogens and foreign microorganisms by synthesizing, through metabolism, complex mixtures of metastable oxidizing compounds. These compounds possess a wide spectrum of action and are capable of damaging all major systemic groups of pathogenic microorganisms (bacteria, mycobacteria, viruses, molds, spores, etc.) without damaging multicellular organisms and human tissues. The oxidizing liquids and their chemical production mechanisms are similar to those generated in our ECA system and are precisely these common characteristics that give Anolyte high biocompatibility with human tissues and multicellular organisms besides not being toxic to the environment. The main benefits include low costs, the versatility of use, easy to install (no need to modify any existing system), proven effectiveness and the absence of problems that we can find in the traditional chemicals treatments. Using Anolyte on your Pig Farm There are 3 areas where Anolyte can help maintain exceptional biosecurity on your farm, these are: · Environmental Hygiene The right cleaning and disinfection processes for the pig house reduces the number of bacteria in the environment and therefore lowers the risk of infection for the pigs themselves. To get the most from Anolyte, first, remove all organic matter and any equipment from the house, soak and clean everything, then spray and fog the Anolyte afterward. · Human Hygiene There are two aspects to the hygiene required from humans who interact with the pigs or their environment. o Hand Hygiene Anyone working directly with the animals, their environment or equipment used with the animals and their surroundings can be directly involved in transmitting infections. Washing hands before entering or leaving a pig house or other segregated area is standard biosecurity behavior, however, this effect can be improved. After cleaning the hands using a quality soap, Anolyte can be used to disinfect thoroughly afterward. o Boot Hygiene A footbath needs to be fast and effective to provide good biosecurity without too much disruption to the farm operation. Anolyte is a powerful disinfectant that accomplishes this, the Hypochlorous Acid acting quickly and offering excellent levels of performance. · Drinking Water Hygiene Water is essential for the health and wellbeing of pigs, and so the quality of their drinking water is a crucial component in pig welfare. Disinfecting drinking water is also integral to any biosecurity measures, but such disinfectant should leave no residue, stay effective throughout the water run and of course, leave the water safe for the animals to drink. Anolyte does all these things in one package, making it perfect for continuous application to the water source. Adhesion to surfaces is a common and well-known behavior of microorganisms. This adhesion and subsequent metabolism lead to the formation of bacterial biofilms. Chlorination of a mature biofilm is usually unsuccessful because the biocide only reacts with the outer portion of the biofilm, leaving a healthy and substantial bacterial community on the surface that rapidly regrows. Bacteria within biofilms develop increasing resistance to the biocide on repeated dosing. Anolyte can effectively remove the biofilm.
Wherever one looks today, the focus of brainpower is on solutions to the debt problem (not only of Greece’s debt). Put differently, all brainpower is applied to financial engineering. I have seen no brainpower being applied to a Business Plan for Greece. Certainly no brainpower of politicians, governments, Central Bankers or EU-elites. Yes, there have been a few private initiatives (like the McKinsey Report) but they have been successfully ignored. In today’s world one can raise billions from private investors just on the basis of a good Business Plan. If a corporation gets into financial trouble and needs help from banks, the first thing the banks will ask for is a Business Plan which promises a viable future for the corporation. I have read the entire draft of the latest Troika Report. I saw many interesting things in it but what I didn’t see was a Business Plan for Greece. Essentially, what I saw was a restructuring plan for a country’s budget: how to reduce expenditures and raise revenues. Well, in the grand scheme of things that’s the job for bean-counters; the job for leaders is to make a plan. What would be a Business Plan for Greece? Well, everybody is invited to come up with proposals. The Ekathimerini published a letter which an 11-year old allegedly sent to the Prime Minister. He proposed that the government should build a factory that converts solar energy, wind power and waterpower to electrical energy, and with that Greece could pay all her debts and live happily ever hereafter. Well, maybe nice, maybe cute, but: it is a Plan! Start with that and come up with better plans! My own idea of a Business Plan for Greece would be a plan which shows how the Greek economy can employ the maximum number of Greeks in a productive manner (optimization of human capital) and how it can utilize the country’s economic potential or competitive advantages to the fullest extent; this over a period of a couple of decades. In the normal world, first comes the plan and the financing comes afterwards. If the plan is convincing, there will be no financing problem. Alas, what we are witnessing today is that everyone is debating the financing without really knowing what the plan is. This is like saying “I don’t know where I am going but the faster I drive, the sooner I will get there”. Economic plans can work and may not work; one never knows ahead of time. The European Recovery Plan after WWII (ERP or Marshall Plan) was a plan which worked and recovered a totally destroyed Central Europe. West Germany’s plan for unification with East Germany did not work. If you look at the former communist East European economies, most of them had economic plans and several of those plans worked very well. And if Greeks read the “Doing Business 2012” report of the World Bank/IFC (a report which analyses regulations which enhance business activity and those which constrain it), they can read that the plan which their favorite neighbors to the North put together some years ago is working well: FYROM jumped from position 34 to 24, and is now ahead of countries like Taiwan, Switzerland, Belgium, France, Austria, etc. Greece remained almost unchanged at position 100, behind countries like Guatemala, Vietnam, Yemen, etc. Coming to think of it, perhaps a plan to create regulations which enhance business activity and reduce those which constrain it would already be a pretty good Business Plan for Greece! One subsidiary objective of a plan is always to make it impossible for lenders to say “no”. Comments have been made that, say, Germany follows the hidden agenda of driving Greece into default. Well, maybe yes, maybe no. None of us can say that for sure. But one thing seems certain: if the Greek government came up with a long-term Business Plan which is so convincing that no thinking person could object, then I would like to see that European country which stands up and says: “No, we don’t support this plan. We prefer to drive Greece into default”. If a country does not have such a plan, it has nothing to bring to the negotiating table when the issue is to restructure its debt. If it has such a plan, it can drive the negotiations. The restructuring of its debt ceases to be an “objective per se” and it becomes a “means towards an objective”. Regarding that restructuring, we are seeing the most interesting things going on. Third parties (EU, ECB, etc.) have made themselves the owners of a problem which concerned, 3 years ago, only Greece and her creditors. The two principal parties involved (Greece and her creditors) have sort of delegated ownership of their bilateral problem to the third party. I think one probably would have to do a lot of research in the annals of financial history to see where this has happened before to such an extreme extent. Third parties will take decisions which will principally affect Greece and her creditors. Personally, I think a lot of lawyers will earn a lot of money in the next years taking some of the possible consequences of such a procedure apart. The normal way would be for Greece to make a restructuring proposal to her creditors. The driving question must be: how much interest can Greece be reasonably expected to pay annually? (For 2011, the Troika projects an interest expense of about 15% of total budget expenses). Since Germany seems to have become the role model for everything good these days, Greece should look to the role model. Germany spends about 12% of her budget expenses on interest. Why should Greece not take that number and commit to spending 12% of her total budget expenses on interest during the next 20 years or so. If budget expenses go down, the nominal interest expense goes down. Vice versa if budget expenses go up. So, the Greek government should commission its financial engineers to work different scenarios where no principal is being repaid for the next 20 years and where interest expenses don’t exceed the 12% limit. The principal axiom must be: the amount of debt which cannot be serviced with interest in these scenarios has to be rescheduled out even further and interest must be capitalized on that amount. One such scenario could be: 50% of the debt for 30-40 years with interest being capitalized. The other 50% with principal payments after 20 years but interest payments from the start within the 12% cap (if it makes creditors happy, one could even provide for some token principal payments before the end of the 20 years). At this point, the government has 2 things to bring to the negotiating table: (a) a Business Plan to which no thinking person can object and (b) a rescheduling proposal which sounds reasonable. What will be the reaction of the creditors? Well, at first they are likely to laugh about “Greek dreams”. This is the point where the Greek government requests the EU to take measures to stop the creditors from laughing, i. e. to make them go along with this proposal. Whatever “incentives” the creditors require to go along with this proposal voluntarily is then a matter of negotiation between the EU and those creditors. There are, of course, zillions of things that are not thought through in the above but let me list a few which come to my mind immediately and suggest some answers from the Greek standpoint. This will be an event of default! – Maybe yes, maybe no. If yes, we will negotiate measures to cure the default. A default will trigger all sorts of things (e. g. CDS’)! – Maybe yes, maybe no. If yes, that is really a problem outside Greece. We have enough problems in Greece, so understand, please, that we cannot worry about problems outside Greece as well. The banks won’t be able to handle the write-down’s of Greek bonds! – Probably not. That is an issue to be handled between the banks and their governments. The Greek government will handle this issue with Greek banks. The Euro will fall apart! – Maybe yes, maybe no. If yes, certainly not because of Greece because we have a long-term Business Plan which will make Greece a value-generating and competitive economy over the next 20 years. Greece can never repay all of the debt which is now being rescheduled! – Maybe yes, maybe no. But if our long-term Business Plan is successful, we can certainly pay back more later than it would appear today. This is not in the interest of the financial stability of the Eurozone. Greece has to act according to that interest! – No. Greece will suffer pains one way or another for quite some time. The implementation of our Business Plan will not be milk & honey. So we don’t have all that much to lose while you have everything to lose. If you support our proposals, we both have the chance to come out less harmed 20 years from now. The answer to most economic problems is growth. I have been involved in many debt restructurings over the years. Without belittling the technical challenges of a restructuring, the far greater challenge is to work out plans for growth. If the borrower grows economically, his debt becomes more manageable over time!
13 I also saw under the sun this example of wisdom that greatly impressed me: 14 There was once a small city with only a few people in it. And a powerful king came against it, surrounded it and built huge siege works against it. 15 Now there lived in that city a man poor but wise, and he saved the city by his wisdom. But nobody remembered that poor man. 16 So I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” But the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are no longer heeded. 17 The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded than the shouts of a ruler of fools. 18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.
Note that the original title of this post was “Deeper Learning” In The News Today. I have since turned it into a “Best” list. Many in the ed world have heard the term “deeper learning,” but I’m not really sure how many educators really know what it means. I’ve previously published a couple of useful posts on it: Yesterday, one big report was released showing that deeper learning is effective in helping students learn and, today, a far more interesting report – written by Barnett Berry from the Center For Teaching Quality – was released focused on how to effectively actually implement in schools. First off, you can read an article in Education Week that discusses the findings of a new study by the American Institutes for Research that found using deeper learning can increase graduation rates and more. Teacher leadership & deeper learning for all students is the title of Barnett Berry’s report. Here’s his definition of “deeper learning”: What does this look like at the classroom level? Instruction designed around deeper learning involves student voice and choice, incorporates feedback and revision, and typically culminates with a publicly presented product or performance. For example, students aren’t expected merely to supply answers to row after row of math problems—but instead must explain how they are using and applying concepts relevant to algebra, geometry, and calculus. Similarly, deeper learning requires that American history courses go far beyond memorization of names and dates; rather, students … must use the tools of historians to analyze the U.S. Constitution and write about the federal role in immigration policy. In other words, deeper learning emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration and knowledge transfer. Barnett’s paper suggests that, in order to ensure that this kind of learning reaches all of our students, including those facing multiple challenges, then teacher leadership must be strengthened. This point is strengthened by the report written about in Ed Week — even though researchers found that deeper learning benefited all students in the schools they studied, it appeared to help lower-income students less. Barnett points to schools that have had exceptional success applying deeper learning for all students, and identifies that increased leadership roles of teachers as a critical part of that accomplishment. He writes: It’s a report well-worth reading… Here are some more resources: Equal Opportunity for Deeper Learning is from Jobs For The Future.

We’re women. We menstruate, which means each month we lose some iron because of blood loss. Some of us handle that without skipping a beat, and others need to monitor iron levels and sometimes take action. It’s a simple health fact, yet iron deficiency is often overlooked as a health condition that can be managed rather easily and to highly beneficial results. We may repeat this a couple of times, it’s important. If any of the symptoms below sound familiar, talk to your doctor. A simple blood test will measure your iron and you can get information on the right product (over the counter or prescription) and dose or even adding iron rich foods to your diet. One thing you don’t want to do is start taking iron without advice and testing of your doctor. Too much Iron (from supplements) can be fatal, it’s worth the test! Iron is required for the body’s blood production, especially for red blood cell development. Iron levels affect oxygen supply to the blood as well as the lungs and muscles. The lack of proper amounts of iron can leave a person feeling lethargic, as well as dizzy and short of breath. Loss of Hair There is a pattern for hair loss at the front of the head and part. If you’re experiencing new hair loss coupled with any symptoms below, get checked out. Hair loss can be a symptom of a few issues, such as thyroid issues, diet, change in mineral levels. A talk with your doctor is generally recommended. If you experience dizziness as if you are going to black-out or seeing stars when you stand up fast, you should talk with your doctor. Fatigue and Tiredness Feeling short of breath or winded when climbing stairs or doing things that are normally not strenuous to you should be something to note. The same is true when feeling overwhelmingly sleepy or needing a nap when you’ve had enough sleep. Feeling Cold, All The Time A deep feeling of cold, sometimes coupled with shaking and inability to feel warm even when the heat is up and you’re covered in blankets. If you’ve said “I can’t seem to get warm” a few times in recent weeks, get your iron checked. Cravings for iron rich foods, some of which aren’t highly cravable normally can be a sign of iron deficiency. The following list are some foods craved when low in iron, but that’s great news, because they are also some of the highest food sources of iron available. Cravings are our bodies way of connecting a nutritional need to a type of biological food memory. Meaning if we’ve had spinach and benefitted from its iron content it might be why we again crave spinach when low on the micronutrient. - Liver, organ meats or food such as pâté - Beans (black are highest in iron) - Shellfish (especially mollusks) - Pumpkin seeds Separate from all the beneficial cravings is one very odd one: - If you’ve picked up the habit of chewing ice, it may be called a condition called Pica which is related to iron deficiency Talk with Your Doctor If you’re experiencing one or more of any of these symptoms, it may be related to iron deficiency. To find out for sure, get a blood test from your doctor and talk with her/him about a course of action. Many of these symptoms can also fall under anemia. Anemia can be caused from a number of issues, such as B12 deficiency, Vitamin D deficiency or even chronic diseases such as sickle cell anemia. Bottom line, pay attention to your health. Talk with your doctor about changes in energy or any new symptoms.
[extropy-chat] ECO: Global warming will not start ice age.. mlorrey at yahoo.com Fri Apr 16 22:30:30 UTC 2004 In support of my arguments a few months ago, several scientists have come out to blast assertions by a recent Pentagon report, as well as a soon to be released movie, that claims that global warming will trigger an ice age within a few years. Scientists stirred to ridicule ice age claims 19:00 15 April 04 NewScientist.com news service Climate scientists have been stirred to ridicule claims in an upcoming Hollywood blockbuster that global warming could trigger a new ice age, a scenario also put forward in a controversial report to the US The $125-million epic, The Day After Tomorrow, opens worldwide in May. It will show Manhattan frozen solid after the warm ocean current known as the Gulf Stream shuts down. The movie's release will come soon after a report to the US Department of Defense (DoD) in February predicting that such a shutdown could put the northern hemisphere into a deep freeze and trigger global famine within 15 years. But in the journal Science on Thursday, Andrew Weaver of the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada, surveys the current research and concludes "it is safe to say that global warming will not lead to the onset of a new ice age". The DoD's doomsday scenario, which is very similar to that in the film, was drawn up by Peter Schwartz and Doug Randall of the San Francisco-based Global Business Network. Neither is a climate The scenario suggests that as global warming melts Arctic ice packs, the North Atlantic will become less salty. This would shut down a global ocean circulation system that is driven by dense, salty water falling to the bottom of the north Atlantic and that ultimately produces the Gulf Stream. This much is respectable scientific theory, and some researchers believe it could happen for real in 100 years or so. But the film-makers and DoD authors go further. They say it could happen very soon. And that if it did, the northern hemisphere would cool so much that that ice sheets would start to grow, creating a catastrophic new ice age. This is too much even for sympathetic climatologists. Stefan Rahmstorf of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, whose own models say the Gulf Stream could shut down within a century, told New Scientist: "The DoD scenario is extreme and highly unlikely." And Wallace Broecker of Columbia University, New York, US, who has warned for two decades that the Atlantic circulation is "the Achilles heel of our climate system", seriously questions both the speed and severity of the changes proposed. In a letter to Science, he accuses the DoD authors of making exaggerated claims that "only intensify the existing polarisation over global warming". He adds: "What is needed is not more words but rather a means to shut down CO2 emissions." Such action could avert any Gulf Stream shutdown in the next 100 years. Schwartz defends his scenario, saying that while it is "not the most likely scenario, it is plausible, and would challenge US national security in ways that should be considered immediately". Weaver notes that the movie's budget "would fund my entire research group for my entire life, 10 times over". That might even allow him to discover which scenarios are most plausible. But there are no sour grapes. "I will be one of the first to see the movie.," he says. "It'll be the Towering Inferno of climate - extremely entertaining." It will not confuse the public, he thinks, but it will not help them understand climate science either.

PVC heat stabilizers are mainly used in PVC and other chlorinated polymers. It is found that PVC plastic can only be processed and formed at above 160 °C, but it begins to decompose at 120 ~ 130 °C, releasing HCL gas. If HCL is not suppressed, the decomposition will be further intensified This problem used to be a major problem in the development and application of PVC plastics. It is found that if a small amount of impurities such as lead salt, metal soap, phenol and aromatic amine is contained in PVC plastics, the processing and application will not be affected, and the thermal decomposition will be retarded to a certain extent. The above problems were solved, which promoted the establishment and development of the Research Field of heat stabilizer. Broadly speaking, any additive that improves the thermal stability of a polymer is called a heat stabilizer. Most of the world's PVC stabilizers are used in polyvinyl chloride because of the poor thermal stability of polyvinyl chloride. Thus, PVC stabilizers generally refer to heat stabilizers of polyvinyl chloride and its copolymers. They can be classified as basic lead salts, metallic soaps, Organotin, Epoxide, phosphite esters, polyols, etc. . PVC stabilizer can be divided into main stabilizer and auxiliary stabilizer according to the effect size. The Auxiliary stabilizer itself has little or no heat stabilization, but it has a synergistic effect with the main stabilizer, which is generally a heat stabilizer containing metals. Pure organic compounds such as Epoxide, phosphite, and polyols are generally used as co stabilizers. Because many kinds of PVC heat stabilizers are used at the same time in order to achieve good stability of polyvinyl chloride, some commercial PVC stabilizers are compounded by many components and become compound stabilizers, such as ba-cd stabilizer, ba-zn stabilizer, etc. These composite stabilizers are usually polyvinyl chloride with additives such as lubricants required for machining operations. There are many varieties of composite stabilizers, available in powder, paste, liquid, three forms. Heat stabilizers can be classified into the following categories: 1. Composite Lead Salt Stabilizer OBS WITH ORGANIC BASE STABILIZER 3. ORGANOTIN STABILIZERS 4. Liquid Composite Stabilizer 5. CALCIUM ZINC COMPLEX STABILIZER 6. Barium ZINC COMPLEX STABILIZER 7. POTASSIUM ZINC COMPLEX STABILIZER
The results of the think tank were summarized in a white paper and shared with the Massachusetts Autism Commission. The white paper included both implications and recommendations: - There is a small core of housing models that could be collectively adapted to the needs of a wide variety of residents: - Individual apartments and condos - Shared living - Inclusive small footprint units (such as micro-units and single room occupancy) - Inclusive co-housing - Transitional housing - There is still a role for congregate housing for some individuals with extreme maladaptive behaviors, but even this model can be re-imagined to create greater self-direction and privacy. - Drop-in services for cueing are needed. - Affordability, the shortage of vouchers, staff training and quality, and transportation are systemic problems. Beyond these, most barriers to housing are more individualized. - Incorporating Braddock and Rowell’s “Six Most Common Home Modifications”, plus soundproofing, into new housing for people with autism, and into a percentage of new housing generally, would meet the needs of a majority of people with autism, while more significant modifications would be needed for about a quarter of autistics. - Technology can improve people’s ability to live independently, but they will need options to pay forassessments and the technology (including apps), whether through MassHealth, DDS, or other insurance. - Good communication, education about housing options, and a person-centered holistic approach that starts early is conducive to a good outcome. This approach should be embedded into a beefed up transition process that incorporates applying for housing vouchers and improving independent living skills. - The housing sector needs to better understand autism. The housing committee of the Autism Commission should consider expanding its membership to include more representation from the housing sector. Training for housing professionals in autism should be explored. - Data collection should be undertaken to answer questions about overall housing demand, demand for the models discussed, and homelessness in the autism community. These data can be the basis for establishing housing production targets. - DESE recognize its Independent Living mandate under IDEA by insuring cities and towns incorporate into the transition process applying for housing vouchers, improving independent living skills, and education about housing options. - DDS/DESE partner with the state university system to offer an expanded transitional housing program aimed at college-aged students, utilizing technology options to increase independence, and considering design modifications as necessary. Vermont’s SUCCEED and Safety Connection should be considered as models. - DDS consider options to increase consumer choice, control, and privacy in in its community-based residences, including Combining individual suites with shared common space, and Separating ownership of housing from the provision of services through methods including allowing residents and/or their families to buy shares in existing homes, or having a third party own the property and rent directly to residents. Any third party should have experience with tenants with disabilities and training in autism; one option might be one provider acting as a landlord, while supports are provided by other agencies, as occurs in Delaware. - Voluntary data be collected on possible incidence of autism among the homeless, including both information on individuals with a diagnosis, and through utilization of the AQ-10 screening tool. - A survey be conducted to identify existing supported housing serving individuals with ASD, and the types of supports provided. - Autistics served by DDS, DMH, MRC, the Centers for Independent Living, ASAN, and their families (as appropriate), be surveyed on their housing needs, preferences, and independent living skills, including the need for environmental modifications and assistive technology. - The level of independent living skills (defined as ADLs, IADLs, and ability to initiate) be measured and recorded for students served by DESE in their last year before exiting.
The Edublogs Teacher Challenge Kickstart Activity #5 is about using images in blogs. I actually don’t use this facililty a lot in my edublogs – I do in my craft blog though. I get the power of images and the stories they can tell. Yet, this is actually a bit of a challenge for me here as I’ve obviously not been inspired to use images in my professional teaching and learning blog. As I’m no expert, I have no tips as such but I can list tips for me using this photo (correction: these photos) of my daughter both as inspiration and metaphor. - Share a captured moment; it doesn’t have to be the best quality photo in terms of clarity, exposure, etc. What activities in the classroom can be shared? Frank Noschese’s blog is full of them making his stories real. - No worries about licensing on personal photos BUT issues about privacy, child protection (you know the drill) are still relevant especially if they are your students (READ: not your kids) - If you must use online photos, educate yourself about copyright matters and make Creative Commons your friend - Focus and nothing extraneous. Don’t put a photo just to have one; it must add to the message you want to convey - When trying something new…just do it but wear a helmet, just in case.
Manas 2 (2015), 2. Russeva, Georgina. Perception of Time According to Patañjali’s Yogasūtra and Vyāsa’s Yogasūtrabhāṣya. – In: Manas: Senses and Sensitivity, Vol. 2, 2, 2015. In the present article are given some connected with time and time-perception extracts from Patañjali’s Yogasūtra and Vyāsa’s commentaries on them. They are considered in the light of contemporary psychological, neuro-psychological and cognitive researches on time and time-perception. It turns out that the Patañjali’s and Vyāsa’s opinions on lots of questions, such as discrete or continuous are time and time-perception, does the moment has any duration, is the time-perception conceptualized are similar to contemporary views. However, there are points over which they are divided – suggested by Vyāsa and Patañjali possibilities of knowing the future or remote past, based on specific causality, give a different perspective.
Provided by: openafs-client_1.8.2-1ubuntu0.1_amd64 fs_bypassthreshold - get/set Cache Bypass file size threshold fs bypassthreshold [-size <file size>] [-help] fs bypassthresh [-s <file size>] [-h] The fs bypassthreshold command either changes the AFS client Cache Bypass file size threshold, or reports the current threshold. Normally, when an application tries to read data via the OpenAFS client, the client will fetch the required data from the fileserver, store the results in the local cache, and then serve the application request from the local cache. When the Cache Bypass feature is enabled, certain files will be read directly from the network, and the data will not be saved to the local cache. In some scenarios, this can provide a significant performance improvement, especially if the data is only read once. Currently, the only way to specify which files should bypass the cache and which files should not, is by file size. In the future, different mechanisms may exist for specifying which files should bypass the local cache and which should not. If -size is not specified, fs bypassthreshold just reports the current threshold and exits. Cache Bypass is still considered an experimental feature. Even in stable releases of OpenAFS, it is not considered as stable as the rest of OpenAFS. -size <file size> Specifies how large a file must be in order to enable Cache Bypass mode. If a file is larger than the specified file size (in bytes), reading from that file will bypass the local cache and be read directly from the network. A file size of -1 indicates that Cache Bypass should be disabled complete, so no files will enable Cache Bypass mode, no matter how large they are. By default, Cache Bypass is disabled. -help Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. The output format is identical whether or not -size was specified. If -size is specified, the bypass threshold is changed, and the output represents the new, changed, threshold. Otherwise the output represents the current threshold. The following example turns on Cache Bypass with a threshold of 4KiB: % fs bypassthreshold 4096 Cache bypass threshold 4096 The following example disables Cache Bypass: % fs bypassthreshold -1 Cache bypass threshold -1 (disabled) The following example examines the current Cache Bypass threshold: % fs bypassthreshold Cache bypass threshold 4096 To set the bypass threshold, the issuer must be logged in as the local superuser "root".

Chris Christie said that marijuana is a “gateway drug” while arguing for enforcement of its federal status as an illegal substance. Though there are correlations between marijuana use and other drugs, there is no conclusive evidence that one actually causes the other, reports FactCheck.org, a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center. The science on this topic is far from settled, FactCheck states. In an interview on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show on April 14, Christie, the governor of New Jersey and a potential 2016 presidential candidate, said he would crack down on marijuana sales and use in Washington and Colorado, which in 2012 were the first two states to legalize marijuana for recreational use. “Marijuana is a gateway drug,” Christie said. “We have an enormous addiction problem in this country.” The “gateway hypothesis” or theory refers to the idea that one substance — marijuana, in this case — leads users to subsequently use and/or abuse other drugs. If Christie’s point is simply that the use of marijuana tends to precede the use of other drugs, then he is correct — but that’s not the whole story. Though studies of large populations of people have indeed found that those who smoke marijuana are more likely to use other drugs, these studies show a correlation without showing causation — a commonly misunderstood phenomenon in science. In short, just because marijuana smokers might be more likely to later use, say, cocaine, does not imply that using marijuana causes one to use cocaine. A 1999 report from the Institute of Medicine, which is part of the National Academy of Sciences, laid out this issue clearly (see pages 100-101): “In the sense that marijuana use typically precedes rather than follows initiation into the use of other illicit drugs, it is indeed a gateway drug. However, it does not appear to be a gateway drug to the extent that it is the cause or even that it is the most significant predictor of serious drug abuse; that is, care must be taken not to attribute cause to association.” We spoke with several experts and reviewed the available scientific literature on gateway theory. Christie’s definitive statement is unsupported by evidence — there is some evidence in favor of a gateway effect. But the scientific community shares no consensus on the issue and there is little evidence on the underlying cause of that effect. Last Tuesday, a radio host asked Chris Christie how, if he were elected president, he would handle states that legalize marijuana. “I will crack down and not permit it,” he said stridently. His reasoning was simple. “Marijuana is a gateway drug,” the New Jersey governor confidently asserted. “We have an enormous addiction problem in this country. And we need to send very clear leadership from the White House on down through the federal law enforcement. Marijuana is an illegal drug under federal law. And the states should not be permitted to sell it and profit from it.” But Christie’s claim is being met with skepticism, and not just by the millions of Americans waking and baking this 4/20 morning. (April 20, or 4/20, is celebrated by cannabis enthusiasts around the world.) Almost a century after the “gateway” theory first terrified some Americans, its validity is under assault. The idea that marijuana leads Americans to harder drugs and eventual ruin dates back to Harry Anslinger. In 1937, the nation’s first drug czar warned that pot could turn us all into potential killers. “How many murders, suicides, robberies, criminal assaults, holdups, burglaries and deeds of maniacal insanity it causes each year, especially among the young, can only be conjectured,” he wrote, according to The Atlantic. “No one knows, when he places a marijuana cigarette to his lips, whether he will become a joyous reveler in a musical heaven, a mad insensate, a calm philosopher, or a murderer.” That same year, Congress passed the Marijuana Tax Act, which made it practically illegal to smoke weed. But as marijuana use rose in the 1960s, America actually moved toward more lenient laws. In 1972, a bipartisan commission appointed by President Richard Nixon recommended decriminalizing the drug. (Nixon ignored it.) By the late 1970s, America was becoming more conservative again. And with First Lady Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” campaign in the 1980s, the gateway theory became widespread. D.A.R.E. programs across the country warned schoolchildren that taking that first toke would send them spiraling down into addiction. There are some studies that show marijuana use is associated with using more serious drugs later in life. In a widely publicized 2014 experiment, neuroscientists found that marijuana use was correlated with “exposure-dependent alterations of the neural matrix of core reward systems” in the brains of young smokers that could conceivably lead to addictions to harder drugs. But “correlation does not mean causation,” sociology professor Miriam Boeri wrote recently on The Conversation under the headline, “Why are politicians still referring to marijuana as a gateway drug.” Moreover, many of the most widely quoted studies claiming marijuana is a gateway drug — including the 2014 experiment — have been challenged, Boeri wrote. Citing more recent studies, she argued that poverty, social environment, association with hard drug users, and mental illness are actually much better predictors of hard drug use. “Crime has not increased in states that have legalized marijuana; it’s actually gone down. Surprisingly, opiate overdose deaths have gone down as well,” she said. “If anything, marijuana can work as a gateway out of hard drug use.” “The risk of other illicit drug use in cannabis users may be higher because few people try hard drugs prior to trying cannabis and not because cannabis actually causes the use of harder drugs,” Michelle Taylor, a researcher studying marijuana at the University of Bristol, echoed in The Guardian. “Therefore, observed associations could be the result of societal ordering and availability of drug.” When asked anonymously, pot smokers themselves reject the gateway drug idea. A 2013 survey of habitual marijuana smokers found that less than 20 percent agreed with the idea of pot being a gateway drug. Almost twice as many disagreed. Despite the debatable science, politicians like Christie keep insisting that marijuana is a gateway drug as if it’s a given. That’s probably more a question of politics than sound public policy, Boeri and Taylor suggest. Some researchers now say that the real gateway drug is already legal: nicotine. Denise Kandel, a professor of sociomedical sciences at Columbia University, coined the term “gateway drug” back in 1975. Even back then, however, she was more concerned about nicotine than marijuana. In a recent study on mice, Kandel and her husband, Nobel Prize-winning neurologist Eric Kandel, found scientific evidence of nicotine’s role in hard drug addiction. “Nicotine acts as a gateway drug on the brain, and this effect is likely to occur whether the exposure is from smoking tobacco, passive tobacco smoke, or e-cigarettes,” they concluded. “More effective prevention programs need to be developed for all the products that contain nicotine, especially those targeting young people. Our data suggest that effective interventions would not only prevent smoking and its negative health consequences but also decrease the risk of progressing to illicit drug use and addiction.” To his credit, Christie wants to crack down on e-cigarettes, too. But that has less to do with them being a gateway drug than it does New Jersey’s $1 billion budget gap: a shortfall that would go up in smoke if New Jersey legalized marijuana.

Marian and Franciscan Spirit Reflections on the Immaculate Conception My soul magnifies the Lord And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; Because He has regarded the lowliness of His handmaid; For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed; Because He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name; And His mercy is from generation to generation on those who fear Him. He has shown might with His arm, He has scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and has exalted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has given help to Israel, his servant, mindful of His mercy Even as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his posterity forever. Jeanne Brolan, SMIC Associate As I read these words, I can just vision this young Jewish girl studying the words of the Prophets. We know her family and her extended family were priestly people so she must have been well educated on the Old Testament. Mary's response to the angel tells us she is very familiar with Isaiah 43 because she knew how to respond to the angel of the Lord. Her heart must have been filled with the words of Isaiah for she understood to trust in the Lord without fear. She understood that she was indeed precious and glorious in God's eyes. She had the wisdom to know the power of her God and that no matter what was to come into her life and that of her child she would not be consumed by those events because God loved her, God called her by name. Her knowledge of the Old Testament gave her the courage not to be afraid. I have often read these words that Mary spoke in her response to the angel and looked at them as her holy words. I saw a young girl being able to give this response because she already started out in this world as being without sin. I would read the Magnificat with the understanding that Mary was teaching us how to respond with a Yes to God's plan for her and for us. I would read it and pray that Mary would guide me and help me say yes but I did not look for anything else in Mary's response. I did not see any other connection. I only saw Mary was this very holy woman who had wisdom beyond human wisdom. Her words were for God. Now I know this beautiful prayer is an example for us. It is not just in our "Yes" to God's plan for us but on how we must understand God's goodness and have faith that no matter what comes into our life, our God will protect us. Mary had studied the wisdom of the prophets so she knew the power of the Lord. This young woman is saying "Yes, Yes! Lord I will carry this child without fear." She is saying, "I don't know how my world will accept me with child but I let go of my concerns and trust in your ways." Her example is not just how to say yes but how to trust; she is showing us how to let go of fear and just know the power of the Lord will take care of every moment from the time the Yes is uttered. In this one faith filled response Mary is giving us the tools for life. "My soul Magnifies the Lord, "Mary is telling us God is in us and we are in God. When we take time to contemplate of this "Awe" concept we can see how precious we are in the eyes of our God. Fear is such a big distress in our individual worlds. Mary is telling us how mighty God is, she is showing us how to let go and fully accept that our God will not let our troubles consume us, all we have to do is say Yes and let go of our fear. She is sharing with us how God sees us as we trust in His mercy. Mary is the living example of what the Isaiah writes about. If the only tools in life we had were Isaiah 43 and Mary's Magnificat we would have what we need to function very well as people of God The Undying Allure of St. Clare of Assisi Vatican City, 31 March 2012 (VIS) – Franciscans and Poor Clares throughout the world are currently celebrating the "Clarian Year", the eighth centenary of the "conversion" and consecration of St. Clare of Assisi (1193-1253) which took place on Palm Sunday 1211 or 1212. For the occasion, Benedict XVI has written a letter to Bishop Domenico Sorrentino of Assisi – Nocera Umbra – Gualdo Tadino, Italy. The Pope recalls the life story of the founder of the Poor Clares. Following St. Francis' advice, she attended Palm Sunday Mass dressed in all her finery. She received a palm from the hands of the bishop then, later that night, fled the house of her parents – who had been hoping to marry her to a wealthy man – and went to the Porziuncola where St. Francis and his companions were waiting for her. There Clare renounced the world, Francis cut her hair and she adopted the black veil and rough sandals which became the first habit of the Poor Clares. Clare's history "also speaks to our generation, and has a particular fascination for the young", the Holy Father says. Francis had a good reason for advising Clare to flee her parents' house at the beginning of Holy Week. "All Christian life, and thus also consecrated life", he writes, "is the fruit of the Paschal Mystery and of our participation in the death and resurrection of Christ. In the Palm Sunday liturgy pain and glory come together, a theme which will be developed over the following days through the dark night of the Passion up to the ultimate light of Easter. With her choice Clare relived this mystery". "At its most profound level, Clare's 'conversion' is a conversion of love. No longer would she have the refined dress of the Assisan aristocracy, but an elegance of soul expressed in praise of God and giving of self. Day by day a fraternity came into being within the confines of the monastery of San Damiano, at the school of the Eucharistic Christ, … a fraternity regulated by love of God and prayer, by concern for others and service. It was in this context of profound faith and great humanity that Clare came to interpret the Franciscan ideal, imploring the 'privilege' of poverty and renouncing even the shared possession of material goods, something which left even the Supreme Pontiff perplexed, until in the end he too surrendered to the heroism of her sanctity". The Holy Father continues: "How can we not present St. Clare, and St. Francis, to the young people of today? The time dividing us from these two saints has not lessened their allure. Quite the contrary, their contemporary importance is evident in the face of the illusions and delusions which often mark the life of modern youth. Never has a time caused the young to dream so much, with the multiple attractions of a life in which everything seems possible and permissible. And yet, how much dissatisfaction exists, how many times the search for happiness and self-realisation follows paths which lead to artificial paradises such as those of drugs and unbridled sensuality. And the current situation, with the difficulty of finding dignified work and forming a united and happy family, adds further clouds to the horizon. "Yet", the Pope adds in conclusion, "there is no lack of young people who, even in our own times, accept the invitation to entrust themselves to Christ and to face the journey of life courageously, responsibly and hopefully, choosing even to leave everything to follow Him and serve their brethren. The story of Clare, with that of Francis, is an invitation to reflect upon the meaning of life and to seek the secret of true joy in God. It is concrete proof that those who accomplish the will of God and trust in Him not only lose nothing, but discover the real treasure which gives meaning to everything". Ronald L. Pihokker, M.A. Ed. Catechetical Office – Archdiocese of Newark (973) 497-4291 firstname.lastname@example.org Prayer to the Apocalytic Virgin on our Medal Dignare me laudare te Virgo Sacrata Da mihi virtutem contra hostes tuos This prayer is attributed to John Duns Scotus (1262-1308) the great Franciscan "Marian Doctor" when, at the request of Pope Clemens V, he was to appear at the Sorbonne University in Paris to defend before an august assembly of Cardinals and theologians his theory that Mary was conceived without sin. Legend has it that on his way to the University, he repeated the prayer again and again. At least from 1924-1929, this prayer was said daily in Latin at the beginning of Morning Prayer. From 1929, the prayer was said in English before the Tota Pulchra every Saturday after Vespers. Great that I may praise thee, O' Sacred Virgin Give me strength against thine enemies The SMIC Medal was crafted from the medal at a shrine in Germany called Our Lady of Neviges. The medal shows Mary , spared from sin, irradiated with light. The is the woman of the the Revelation about whom we read: "A woman, adorned with the sun, standing on the moon and with the twelve stars on her head for a crown." With God's grace she conquered the serpent, the evil one. He lied dead at her feet. In each of us there lives an indelible image of the fully redeemed person. Mary tells us that in Christ this hope is possible. Also note that the light is not her own, but the light of her son whom God gave to her. The angels at her feet bring lilies and roses, the gifts of a creation freed from sin and death. Thus Mary, illuminated by the light of Christ, becomes for us the star of the sea which helps us to find our way through life to the morning star, who announces the sun and points towards our sole Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

Competitive pressures facing higher education have never been greater1. A reality for universities and colleges in the twenty-first century is that they are not fully preparing students for the demands of the workforce. Given the increasing need for talent, institutions need responsive, adaptive, and transformative change to meet demand and remain competitive. Employers report that students graduating from colleges and universities lack the competencies required for workforce application of higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills2. J.R. Reid and P.R. Anderson reported in The Journal of Education for Business (2012) that 70 percent of Americans do not understand the scientific process, which infers a gap in basic reasoning skills—known commonly in business settings as “good business sense” or “business savvy.” Globalization, advances in technology, competition from other colleges and universities, and accountability to multiple stakeholders are among the forces working against the sustainability of many higher education institutions3. While not a panacea, educating and developing future talent that can think critically can be a competitive advantage for higher education institutions that want to remain relevant. The healthcare community generally refers to a “triple-aim” when assessing the health of an institution or community, and the efficacy of care delivery. Three pillars —improved quality, reduced cost, and improved patient experience—can be summarized as basic units of measurement to help identify healthcare’s effectiveness4. A relevant (newly-introduced) parallel construct that applies between the healthcare and higher education fields could be coined as “the triple aim of higher education” —high quality, reasonable cost, and high stakeholder satisfaction. The pillars of this construct can be used as basic units of measurement to anchor, assess, and help identify the efficiency and effectiveness of outcomes in higher education. By adopting this model, outcomes for higher education could effectively be measured using standardized testing, course grading rubrics, and end of course satisfaction surveys. These three pillars can help measure and gauge students’ effectiveness as it relates to critical thinking. In order for students to learn effectively, they need to be engaged. They also need engaged faculty, as an active force for driving new classroom knowledge-development. The adoption of critical thinking as a heterogeneous tool will help fill the workforce readiness problem when delivered in a highly student-centric manner. When colleges create and offer a quality education at a reasonable cost using critical thinking as a foundation for learning, the net effect is satisfied graduates and their future employers. Forces Affecting Higher Education Responsive, adaptive, and transformative change is needed to increase students’ critical thinking and complex problem-solving competencies. Organizations must be skilled at fostering creativity as well as acquiring and transferring knowledge5. Critical thinking is a construct that is discussed at length as both essential and invaluable for addressing this requirement for change. Historians have championed the concept of freedom of thought and speech to establish the basis for reflective and critical thinking6. An examination of the fundamental bases for critical thinking through the linkage of critical thought with free speech and religious liberty6 appears to be re-emerging as relevant to addressing the need for change. There are several prevailing forces that can impact new workers coming out of school, including globalization, technology, competition, and accountability. Globalization within the business community is becoming a part of everyday work life. Once thought of as a separate business unit or new initiative, global business is business. Similarly, technology is an enabler for all aspects of an individual’s work life. Certainly students understand how to communicate via technology, but they may not be trained on how it can be used to create a competitive advantage in a world market. Competition in the world market is another area that students may not be prepared for based on their current curriculum. Reading about competition for talent, resources, and revenue is different than understanding how these elements fit together to create success. Finally, students get some level of exposure to accountability by learning about the notion of dashboards and scorecards. Still, this is one-dimensional learning akin to asking a worker to run a machine by reading a manual without the benefit of hands-on training. Taken together, these are multi-dimensional, complex issues that highlight the demand for workers who can sort, analyze, and problem solve at the same speed with which these issues arise in their work lives. These issues underscore the need for our centers of higher learning to teach students how to think. Federal studies report on poor technology literacy, reading, and math skills among Americans7. The lack of critical thinking in education is significant because it also impedes the development of another “higher order thinking” component—problem-solving skills8. Yet employers require the application of critical thinking and complex problem solving as fundamental workforce skills9. The problem is that curricula design by faculty is likely not focusing on critical thinking as a student-learning outcome; nor is it likely that outcomes are being assessed and measured. A sub-problem exists in the inability to easily apply critical-thinking fundamentals to practical business matters. Consequently, students reach graduation but are not equipped with the appropriate training or skills to enter the workforce. To facilitate students’ transitions from school to work; functional workforce requirements identified by employers must be factored into student learning outcomes. Universities and colleges must implement relevant key metrics for assessment. If an outcome is not measured, it is likely not going to be identified, celebrated, or addressed. For example, metrics for business students might include an ability to satisfy the following: clarity and effectiveness in oral and written communication skills; awareness of emotional intelligence relative to accepted principles of leadership, management, and supervision; ability to manage workplace conflict; ability to participate in consensus-building to work in groups and teams; and awareness of and ability to manage or influence the costs associated with providing benefits for employees. Higher Education Institutions G. M. Steyn asserts in Education (2015) that the ability of students to learn faster is a way for institutions to gain a competitive advantage in the higher education marketplace. Leaders in higher education shape a positive higher educational culture through visionary growth strategies. Charismatic and visionary leaders can initiate ideas such as research and entrepreneurship activities to avail campuses of new revenue funding streams10. Authoritarian leadership styles among those at the helms of higher education institutions are cautioned against1. A disadvantage and negative consequence of a “command and control” style of leader is that it typically results in inferior and expensive services in the long run. Conversely, transformational leaders characterized by a high degree of integrity and values experience more efficacious styles and sustaining outcomes. Transformational leaders are preferred to employ strategies that result from a more effective participatory style11. Knowledge is important because it is what offers universities and colleges their number-one distinctive strategic competitive advantage12. Unfortunately, sources reveal many examples of deficits in modern teaching methods and resources as faculty have become subject matter experts in content areas; however, the content may not provide the life-long skills that students’ need and employers demand. There are a host of methods and tools faculty may consider embracing, but these methods may not meet practical needs for incorporation into a teaching plan. Content matter and knowledge needs to be packaged and conveyed in a practical manner useful for prospective employment. Higher order thinking skills also need to be considered, planned, and incorporated in order to bring context and relevance to the classroom. Critical thinking is also the basis for other key skills such as communication. Strategic written and oral communication skills are essential for higher education graduates at all levels. Critical thinking is at the heart of academic writing13. Development of effective written and oral communication teaching strategies offer an opportunity for differentiation in the marketplace. Universities and colleges are the creative spaces where people can find themselves through writing. The practice of refined writing and contributions in the form of deconstructing and reconstructing to form new material for greater networking and relationship building14 is included in that discussion. Partnerships, connections, and networking have a similar resonance in the context of parallels between business activities and entrepreneurship growth. Research and knowledge need to be part of the outcome from entrepreneurial activities. Select oral communication development, emphasizes the importance of debate as an effective tool and process for cultivating student knowledge15. General science courses as well as technology courses are identified as great course types for students to learn critical thinking skills. The triple-aim of higher education—high quality, reasonable cost, and stakeholder satisfaction is considered in relation to new knowledge development. Critical thinking emerges, from the evolutionary process of cognitive reflective thought, as an underpinning theme involving important stakeholders. An analysis, evaluation, and synthesis of literature sources, reinforces the pivotal role played by faculty members through application of critical thinking strategies. In addition to students, others with vested interests in knowledge creation include higher education institution boards, higher education administrative staff, employers, and the communities served. Faculty member awareness of critical thinking is a dire need in the knowledge creation process. Knowledge is the most valuable asset that higher education institutions can boast. Cultivation and refinement of knowledge creation processes are indicated. The host of variables influencing a knowledge creation focus on learning processes, and considerations for faculty members who navigate and drive approaches to student engagement suggest multiple areas for future exploration and study. The areas that seem fertile for future research include evaluation and assessment of critical thinking using online learning, the effects of critical thinking on competitive advantage and strategic differentiation, and a faculty development program to heighten an awareness of critical thinking tools as well as movement toward more active learning styles. These considerations for future research establish the reality of the fluid and dynamic nature of higher education. Stakeholders have been and will need to continue as vanguards for knowledge creation and incorporate new research and developments as it has since the inception of educational practice. The desired outcome of this research has been to acknowledge the gap in knowledge creation and to offer concrete solutions and suggestions for consideration. His Holiness, Pope Francis, urges that, “True education enables us to love life and opens us to the fullness of life.” Employing the “triple aim” of higher education coupled with an encouragement of higher order thinking skills development, helps stakeholders achieve this outcome. Through active engagement, we are able to collaborate and witness to a further cultivation of the values of Thomas More College in its intellectual tradition. 1 Dunnion & O’Donovan (2014) 2 Scott (2009) 3 Bahhouth & Bahhouth (2011); Barbera, Layne, & Gunawardena (2014); Dill (1999); Emes & Innes-Cleveland (2003); Matheson, Wilkinson, & Gilhouly (2012); Stukalina (1991) 4 McCarthy (2015) 5 Barbera, et al.

Ever since the redevelopment project the Musée Fabre has given priority to welcoming all visitors and making the museum accessible for people with disabilities. Our priority is to treat each of the 4 types of disability with the same dynamic and in partnership with representative associations and institutions in order to guarantee equal access to our art collections for everybody. To meet this objective the museum's Public Service offers different regular activities for individual visitors. There are also devices to accompany and assist self-guided visits (leaflets and multimedia tools). The range of permanently available adapted options is presented in the leaflet 'The Musée Fabre without exceptions!' The guide for disabled visitors is available from the museum reception or to download on this site. The guide 'The Museum in Comfort' offers a logical and self-guided visit of the permanent collections for individual visitors with special mobility needs or subject to fatigue. Wheelchairs and folding chairs are available on request from reception. Today, we want to build a relationship with visitors which goes beyond occasional visits, we want visitors to develop a long term sense of ownership of the place and the rich resources. Different speakers, art historians and artists have created new ways of looking at the collections, using the senses, demonstrations and visitor participation. They have also created different multi-sensorial devices (models, interpretation kits, olfactory and sound kits) which enlighten and facilitate visits so that each visitor can make the most of their visit to the museum and enjoy a moment of pleasure and learning. In order to meet specific needs for certain structures we can provide made-to-measure solutions in the form of specially designed annual projects. The Public Service is at your service for further information about this subject.

Cadiz Sentinel (Cadiz, Harrison County, Ohio) 184?-1851 [LCCN: sn84028793] Digital Edition: March 21, 1844 – October 13, 1846; April 10, 1850 – May 21, 1851 Democratic Sentinel and Harrison County Farmer (Cadiz, Harrison County, Ohio) 1851-1852 [LCCN: sn85042199] Digital Edition: May 28, 1851 – December 1, 1852 Democratic Sentinel (Cadiz, Harrison County, Ohio) 1852-1853 [LCCN: sn85025647] Digital Edition: December 8, 1852 – December 28, 1853 Cadiz Democratic Sentinel (Cadiz, Harrison County, Ohio) 1854-1864 [LCCN: sn84028794] Digital Edition: January 11, 1854 – May 4, 1864 Cadiz Sentinel (Cadiz, Harrison County, Ohio) 1864-1911 [LCCN: sn85034406] Digital Edition: May 11, 1864 – December 23, 1868 The Cadiz Sentinel was established in 1832 in Cadiz, the seat of Harrison County, Ohio, and is the second oldest paper in the county. From the beginning, the Sentinel supported Democratic interests and candidates, competing with the town’s other major publication, the Cadiz Republican, which traces its history back to the first newspaper ever printed in the county, the Cadiz Informant. The Sentinel had a number of owners and editors throughout its history, and each was firmly committed to supporting the Democratic Party. When Lecky Harper, who would later go on to edit the Mt. Vernon Democratic Banner, took over the Sentinel in 1844, for example, he promised to “make the paper useful and entertaining to its readers, and a true exponent of Democratic measures.” Charles N. Allen joined the Sentinel in 1851, partnering with William A. Giles and William I. Blain. They soon changed the name of the paper to the Democratic Sentinel and Harrison County Farmer in order to more clearly promote their political viewpoint and to reflect upon the paper’s recent countywide increase in subscribers. They intended to make the paper the “best and cheapest” in eastern Ohio. As a self-proclaimed “Family Newspaper,” the Sentinel published a variety of items related to “Agriculture, Politics, News, Literature, History, Biography, Mechanics, Facts, Poetry, [and] Amusement.” In each issue, readers could find political news and speeches; local, state, national, and international news; court and legal news; business advertisements and market prices; and poetry and serialized fiction. In 1852, Giles and Blain left the paper, making Allen the sole proprietor and editor. Its name was changed to the Democratic Sentinel for a short time and changed again in 1854 to the Cadiz Democratic Sentinel. Allen hired William H. Arnold as an associate editor in 1862, and Arnold remained with the paper after Allen moved to nearby Steubenville to start the Steubenville Gazette. Under Arnold’s leadership, the Sentinel increased both its circulation and influence. In 1911, Samuel F. Dickerson purchased the paper from the estate of William H. Arnold, who had died in 1898, and merged it with the Cadiz Democrat to form the Cadiz Democrat Sentinel. Dickerson modernized the newspaper printing office and made his iteration of the Sentinel one of the leading weeklies in eastern Ohio. On November 24, 1932, the publication published its last issue and was absorbed by the Cadiz Republican. Researched and written by Jenni Salamon
A significant snow storm is set to hit the Northeast this weekend and neighborhoods in New York City are preparing for high winds and accumulating snow to impact travel. Mark Wysocki is a meteorologist who specializes in forecasting and weather analysis at the Northeast Regional Climate Center. He says the rapidly developing storm brings the potential for heavy snow and high winds for much of the Northeast. “During the storm, residents of the Northeast should remember to use caution when traveling as weather conditions will change rapidly Saturday night into Sunday morning. The main problem will be the changes in precipitation types, with some areas experiencing sleet and freezing rain before changing over to all snow, making for slippery roads. “Then the cold blustery northerly winds on the backside of the storm for Sunday night will lead to cold temperatures and winds chills in the -15 to -20°F range, so bundle up and keep warm. “Forecasting weather is like playing chess. You have specific pieces that move a certain way, and when combined at the right time and place… checkmate! Like chess, certain pieces have to be at the same place at the same time, then a significant snowstorm forms."

My grandmother, Frances Judith Hitchcock, née Norton migrated to Australia in 1921 aboard RMS (Royal Mail Ship) Ormonde. Which set me to looking up some more information about the ship and the voyage. Ormonde was built as a twin-screw, twin-funnel, coal-burning steam turbine powered passenger liner by John Brown and Co. at Clydebank in Scotland. Launched in 1917, she was 14,853 tons, 192 metres long and 20 metres in breath, and capable of 18 knots, the largest ship yet built for the Australian trade. With the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, construction was deferred for almost 3 years until Ormonde was completed as a troopship in 1917. After the war she was fitted out to original specifications for 278 first class, 195 second class and 1,000 third class passengers. Operated by Orient Steam Navigation Co. Ltd., she served on the UK-Australia mail route between the two World Wars. Her first voyage to Australia under the Orient Line was via Suez in 1919. The Ormonde was the first large passenger ship to re-establish regular service between the UK and Australia after the War. Judith Norton sailed from England on 16 April 1921 and arrived in Australia on 25 May 1921. I have a souvenir book A voyage with the mails between Brisbane-London, Australia and Great Britain: a memento by an amateur photographer with 111 original photographs. 4th edn. (London Stereographic Co., 1920). With it is a large photograph of the ship, and it has an autograph page signed by fellow passengers. It was a brave thing to do, to leave home with the possibility of never returning, to marry a man she had met only briefly, who was waiting for her on the other side of the world. In 1933 Ormonde was converted to a single-class vessel following a decline in migration during the depression. In WWII, she was again a troopship. After the war, she carried assisted migrants to Australia, almost 18,000 in all. After 35 years of service, including about 4 million kilometres and a record 75 return voyages from U.K. to Australia, she was broken up at Dalmuir in 1952.
By Zhodi Angami This ebook is the 1st complete paintings that gives an outline of tribal biblical interpretation and exhibits its software via creating a lucid studying of Matthew's infancy narrative from a tribal reader's viewpoint. utilizing reader-response feedback as his basic strategy, Zhodi Angami brings his tribal context of North East India into dialog with Matthew's account of the start of Jesus. given that tribal humans of North East India see themselves as residing lower than colonial rule, a tribal reader sees Matthew's textual content as a story that actively resists and subverts imperial rule. Likewise, the tribal event of dwelling on the margins conjures up a tribal reader to examine the narrative from the bottom, from the point of view of these who're sidelined, neglected, belittled or forgotten. Tribal biblical interpretation offered right here follows a means of dialog among tribal worldview and Matthew's narrative. this kind of strategy animates the textual content for the tribal reader and makes the biblical narrative not just extra intelligible to the tribal reader yet permits the textual content to talk on to the tribal context.
Paranation are delighted to bring you an evening of paranormal investigation at The Bursledon Brickworks which is the last surviving example of a steam-powered brickworks in Britain Bursledon employed up to 180 people ranging from boys as young as 8 to men in their 60s. The works would have been dark and cold, heated only by the kilns and it is reported that a number of workers died here whilst earning their livelihood. The Brickworks was founded in 1897 by the Ashby family, whose innovations in machinery and kiln design and implementation of mass production methods enabled the site to produce more than 20 million bricks a year at peak production. The Brickworks was closed in 1974 due to a reduction in the clay quality and supply. The site was purchased by the Hampshire Buildings Preservation Trust and was awarded listed status. The buildings on the northern side have been replaced by the NATS, Air Traffic Control Centre, but the southern site still remains. We have never investigated the brickworks before but the following has been reported activity at this amazing location include: Sound of voices Knocking on demand The presence of dark figures Odd lights have been seen A worker fell asleep in the kiln as a result of seeking out warmth and became locked in, dying the following day when the kiln was lit. Maybe his ghost haunts the brickworks? Steeped in history I'm sure this haunted venue will be an evening we won't forget again in a hurry!! The evening will consist of a short introductory talk and demonstrations of our equipment, which you will be able to use throughout the evening, refreshments and comfort break. Smoking is permitted outside in the designated area. We will then proceed with a lit walk around the museum.

3.0 Research Process In user experience design (UXD), the product is research and the research is product: a prototype formed through research is used for first tests, and these go on to inform the shape of the product in the next iteration. User testing is critical to defining functional steps, and the resulting experiences. Through interrogating the decisions made, user testing underwrites and extends the assumptions of the designer, by adding insight into how the users interpret what they are seeing. Initial prototypes are informed by survey and interview data, which bring to light otherwise unobservable behaviours, and inform and underwrite a designer’s assumptions about the user’s perspective on the problem and how they would respond. The difference is the gathering of a user’s impressions before and after the experience. Surveys and interviews help to inform or confirm design assumptions based on business or stakeholder needs; a user test helps to focus the design decisions to do the same.

Queen City Counseling & Consulting provides mental health services to adolescents in the Charlotte area. We see clients ages 13 to 25 with a special interest in treating trauma-related disorders in adolescents and young adults. As a practice we take pride in supporting the parents of our adolescents by providing them with skills and knowledge to take an active supportive role in their teens’ treatment and recovery. With todays’ societal pressures, the impact that adverse life events can have on ones’ daily functioning, as well as growing awareness through “#MeToo” and anti-bullying movements, co-owners and therapists Amy Gregor, LCSW and Ashley McGurkin, LCSW saw a growing need for mental health services in the area, particularly for adolescents and young adults. To address this need, Queen City Counseling & Consulting officially opened its doors to the Charlotte community in January 2019. What’s with the Cactus? You may notice several Cactus plants and Cactus-related artwork around our office. It has become Queen City Counseling & Consulting’s “representation of resiliency.” But why? “The beauty of the Cactus can really be captured more from its meaning rather than its physical expression. It’s considered to be uninviting, and unable to show more than its protective prickly cloak. However, it represents Enduring all things, no matter how painful or difficult, protection from danger and threats and finally warmth and care.” Aragon, I. (December 5th, 2016). The Significance of a Cactus. Retrieved from https://www.theodysseyonline.com Much like the cactus, different life events and experiences cause people to respond in ways to protect themselves from pain and harm and allow them to keep going. This is the power of human resiliency. Humans can withstand and bounce back from the most unimaginable circumstances, much like the Cactus endures harsh conditions on a daily basis. Although these response mechanisms may keep them safe, they often keep others at a distance and prevent people from seeing the true you. At Queen City Counseling & Consulting, we are strong believers that no matter the circumstances and life events one has experienced, everyone has and deserves the ability to love, care, and show compassion to both themselves and others. It is our job to help you access the inner you to find warmth and care. The Cactus helps remind us of resiliency and ones ability to feel both empowered to stand up and protect ourselves, yet still be able to accept and show love, kindness, and compassion to oneself. We are Queen City Counseling We are a psychotherapy practice in the South Park area of Charlotte providing individual and group therapy for adolescents and young adults. We have a strong focus on parent support and family involvement with a special interest in trauma focused therapy.
Quaker Business Meetings: how Friends make decisions This document was written and produced by some Friends and Attenders from Glasgow Meeting, Scotland, who came together in an informal group in 1995 to explore their experience of business methods in the Religious Society of Friends. - Can I come to a business meeting if I am not a Member? - How long will the business meeting last? - Will I have to do anything if I attend? - Can I take an active part in the discussion? - Is there anything special I should do when I am speaking? - How do I express disagreement with what others have said? - How often may I speak? - What happens if I don't like the minute drawn up by the Clerk? - What if Friends who are not present do not agree with the minute? - Who sets the agenda? - How do I get something on the agenda? The aim of this document is to give you some idea of how business is carried out at a Quaker business meeting. It has been written for Attenders and Friends who are new to Quaker business meetings. Quakerism in all its forms is best experienced rather than read about; but having said this, there are certain points on which you can be better prepared if you read this booklet before you attend your first business meeting. 'Quaker business' is a general term which covers items such as membership, finance, the concerns of individual Friends in relation to the Society and its work, as well as relations with other organisations. Quaker business meetings are held regularly. The structure is organised at local level (Local Meetings), larger district levels (Area Meetings) and national level (Yearly Meeting). Scotland and Wales also have their own national level General Meetings. Area Meeting is the principal meeting for business and deals with membership, property, finance, appointments, arrangements for Quaker weddings etc. It is the main link between members and the Society of Friends nationally. As you will discover, Friends' business meetings are quite unlike other business meetings you might have experienced. Their form differs from that of a debating society or a union or board meeting. Their form is also liable to vary in detail from one monthly meeting to another. There is a form to it, but it is a flexible one, sensitive to the needs of the individual meeting. Perhaps a Friends' business meeting can be described as an exercise in attentiveness, in listening to the promptings of the Spirit. The overriding need is to discern the will of God in the meeting, and business meetings should be conducted with that fundamental aim in mind. The physical setting of the meeting reflects this worshipful atmosphere. Where possible, the members of the meeting sit in a semi-circle facing the Clerk. The Clerk is not in any sense a minister or priest but is there to help the meeting to articulate its decision in the form of an acceptable minute. The meeting begins with silence. When the Clerk judges the time is right, he or she summarises the agenda before the meeting, provides any necessary background information, and lays the first item before the meeting. People rise to speak, one at a time. Each item concludes with the agreeing of a minute of the meeting's decision. When the business is complete there is another period of silence. The meeting is formally concluded with a handshake. At business meetings Friends tend to adopt certain customs or modes of behaviour. The following are perhaps the most important in shaping form and atmosphere of a business meeting although not all will be present in every business meeting. - everything from the initial silence to the final handshake is to be regarded as worship. - we observe silence between individuals' contributions. These silences are crucial, not only for the period of reflection they provide; but also because they enable a meeting to proceed as a gathered body. They act as a brake against one or more individuals seizing control of the meeting through rhetorical display, appeal to emotions or other means. - we try to come to meeting in a prayerful, open state of mind, so that we may be open to the Spirit. In the meeting, we strive to lay ourselves open to others' arguments: no matter how much we may think truth is on our side we must consider the possibility that we may be mistaken. The true spirit of the business method is thus one of attentive listening. - we should not speak until called upon to do so by the Clerk. The usual way to indicate that we wish to speak is to stand up. In particular we do not attempt to speak while the Clerk is trying to draft a minute. - we normally speak once only on a subject unless responding to a direct question or giving factual information. (We may speak on another subject if we want, however.) We speak plainly. We do not speechify, hector or attempt to filibuster. It is appropriate to speak with conviction or with passion, but not with prejudice. - we may express contradictory views, but do not argue with one another in meeting. We state what we want to say frankly and briefly without belittling each others' points. The meeting thus should never become a debating club; nor should the situation ever arise where we try to interrupt or shout down another's contribution. Having spoken once to the issue, we must trust that if further valid points occur to us, others will raise them. - if documents are brought to the meeting, they may be referred to, but should not be read out unless the Clerk or meeting asks for them. The Clerk is the servant of the meeting. He or she is a Friend appointed to this task but is otherwise without special status. When an issue has been clearly outlined the Clerk may say that it is now 'before the meeting'. It is then open to any Friend to speak to it. The Clerk is a recorder of the minute of the meeting, one who helps those present discern the will of God within the meeting. The Clerk prepares the agenda and may also introduce an item on the agenda by summarising it. An assistant clerk sits at the table to help to read out relevant information. In these activities the clerks wield considerable power to influence the way issues are presented to the meeting. Although the Clerk faces the meeting physically, he or she certainly does not either lead the meeting as a convenor or chairperson may, nor express a view. In discussion, the Clerk can pull together and summarise feelings which are being expressed in the meeting. He or she can act as shapers of debate, encouraging silent or reluctant Friends to participate in it. The Clerk can also remind Friends when they are speaking at too great length. In these activities, clerks require paradoxical gifts of restraint and fluency, discipline and sensitivity. But perhaps the greatest test of a clerk's ability to read the collective mind of the meeting lies in the ability to draw up, at an appropriate time, the minute which will express the sense of the meeting to those present and to others beyond the meeting. Sometimes a meeting cannot come to a decision on an issue; sometimes the feeling may be strong that a decision must be reached, but the meeting may be perplexed as to what the decision may be. In these as in many like situations, the Clerk needs to discern the true sense of God's will. A minute is composed by the Clerk during the meeting, and the final version is written by the Clerk in the meeting where the members present can ensure the veracity and accuracy of the minute. A draft minute may be prepared in advance for routine matters. The agreed minute is never made or altered after the meeting has finished. The minute records the decision of the meeting on a given topic. If it is more than simply a factual recording, the minute will also indicate the context and reason underlying the decision. While the Clerk reflects on what has been said by those present and is composing the minute, the rest of the meeting remains silent. It requires sensitivity on the part of the Clerk to discern when it is appropriate to begin to write a minute. Similarly, we should be sensitive as to when the Clerk wants to begin writing the minute. When the minute is drafted, the Clerk reads it out to the meeting, after which those present can begin 'speaking to the minute'. They might want to question its wording, or perhaps the way it reflects accurately one contribution but distorts another. If necessary, the minute is then rewritten by the Clerk and re-presented to the meeting. The agreed item is not generally opened up for further discussion. In all cases, the meeting must unite in agreement on the minute, for the minute should be an accurate recording not only of the decision reached, but of the collective spirit of the meeting. Yes. You are welcome to attend. Indeed attenders who apply for membership are usually asked if they have experience of business meetings. You should indicate to the Clerk in advance that you would like to attend. In some Area Meetings, but not all, Attenders leave the room when membership matters are being discussed. Occasionally the same might happen in a business meeting when a matter of great sensitivity is being discussed. This varies greatly from place to place. The following arrangements relate to Glasgow Local Meeting and West Scotland Area Meeting. Local Business Meeting usually lasts about an hour. Area Meeting usually lasts for three or four hours with a break for lunch and is followed by a sociable tea. General Meeting is usually much the same but once a year meets for a whole weekend. West Scotland Area Meeting is also held about three times per year by telephone conference. No. As with any Meeting for Worship you are under no obligation to do anything other than to support the work going forward by your presence at a gathered thoughtful meeting. If you believe you have something to contribute to a discussion stand and remain silent until asked to speak. In a very small meeting catch the eye of the Clerk and he or she may ask you to speak. If another Friend is called, or the Clerk stands, then you should sit down again. It is customary to allow a brief silence between contributions. Speak clearly. Stick to the point. Be brief. Don't read extracts from reports or lists of figures. If you feel they are important ask the meeting if it wants to hear them. It is not necessary to speak merely to reinforce what someone else has said. If you are referring to someone who has spoken earlier the correct Quaker practice is to say 'As our Friend reported' or 'As our Friend Jane Smith has been explaining'. Quakers do not refer to themselves as Mr or Mrs or 'ladies' or 'gentlemen'. Business meetings are not debates; no Friend has a monopoly of the truth or is certain to be proposing the best action. Each Friend who feels led to speak should, concisely and clearly, give his or her view. It does not matter if this is a different view from what everyone else has said. It is not good practice however to argue with a particular Friend or snipe at others' suggestions. If feelings are running high on a subject the Clerk might stand, in which case anyone speaking should stop. The Clerk, or any Friend for that matter, might call for a period of reflective silence. It is normal practice to speak only once on a subject. There may be exceptions in the case of a Friend who is making a report on behalf of a committee or has specialist knowledge on a specific topic required by the meeting. You can speak on different topics during the meeting but Friends who find that they are speaking on everything should carefully consider whether so many contributions are appropriate. Once the Clerk has read a draft minute, any Friend can suggest modifications - but not introduce new business. The Clerk will note what is being said and continue to modify the minute until all Friends can unite with it. A Friend who is seriously at odds with the Minute on an important topic may say that he or she cannot unite with it. The Clerk will ask if that Friend is willing to let the business proceed nevertheless. The Friend can agree to this, or agree but have the dissent minuted, or continue to oppose the Minute. The Clerk may in this last case conclude that 'We are not of one mind' and the business may be carried forward uncompleted. Friends recognise that the decision has been taken in the spirit by those Friends who were able to attend and chose to be there. A properly gathered meeting has taken and minuted the decision and this the Friends who were not present will accept, however surprised or disappointed they might be. In the case of Local Business Meeting, the Clerk and assistant clerk meet beforehand to draw up the agenda. Some items are 'matters arising' from previous meetings; other bodies locally or nationally might raise issues which require consideration or action by Local Meetings and there are regular tasks such as appointing people to particular duties. Often a Friend will ask for something to be put on the agenda of a future meeting. If the clerks are not sure whether something should be on the agenda they will ask the Meeting for its view. Discuss it first with one of the clerks. It may be that the issue should be raised first elsewhere, for example with overseers or elders, or can be dealt with in a different way. The clerks will advise you. If your item is going to be on the agenda you should make every effort to be at that meeting and you might be asked to provide some background. If you are not sure who the clerks are, remember that it is usually one of the clerks who read notices at the end of Meeting for Worship on Sundays. Please raise items for the agenda in good time. They should not be raised in the meeting itself.

Dear Lt.Gen.Michael Hayden, "On May 1, 2003, President Bush landed on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln aboard an S-3B Viking jet, emerged from the aircraft in full flight gear, and proceeded to "press flesh," as The Washington Post put it, as he shook hands and hugged crew members in front of the cameras. Later that day, Bush delivered a nationally televised speech from the deck of the Abraham Lincoln in which he declared that "major combat operations in Iraq have ended," all the while standing under a banner reading: "Mission Accomplished." Despite lingering questions over the continued violence in Iraq, the failure to locate weapons of mass destruction, and the whereabouts of Saddam Hussein, as well as evidence that Bush may have shirked his responsibilities in the Texas Air National Guard (TANG) during the Vietnam War, the print and televised media fawned over Bush's "grand entrance" and the image of Bush as the "jet pilot" and the "Fighter". 2.So wrote on April 27,2006, a US website called "Media Matters For America"(http://mediamatters.org/items/200604270005) .Mr.Bush's premature bragging that the US had accomplished its mission in Iraq and had emerged victorious in the war has haunted him and his advisers till now. So did the earlier claim of Vice-President Dick Cheney before the start of the war that the invading US troops would be welcomed by the people of Iraq as "liberators". Thousands of American troops have already died and more are dying. Thousands of Iraqi civilians have died and more are dying. Some "welcome", this! 3. On October 7,2001, the US launched its "Operation Enduring Freedom" in Afghanistan.By the middle of 2002, we were told that the US troops had defeated the Taliban and badly disrupted the command and control of Al Qaeda. In 2004, the Taliban came back as if it had risen from its proclaimed grave and started hitting back at the US-led coalition troops in eastern and southern Afghanistan. The NATO forces are still struggling to prevail over the Taliban. 4. Till 2000, there was no suicide terrorism in Afghanistan. There was one in 2001 which killed Ahmed Shah Masood. Since 2004, instances of suicide terrorism in Afghanistan started going up. There were 137 last year. The Taliban's capability to hit at the NATO forces now extends to even Kabul. President Hamid Karzai owes it to the grace of Allah that he survived the attempt to kill him during a national parade at Kabul on April 27,2008. Neither the Afghan intelligence nor the CIA had any inkling of its plans to kill him. If Allah had not gone to his rescue, there might have been total instability in Afghanistan now. 5. Till 2006, Pakistan had an average of six acts of suicide terrorism per annum.It had 56 last year. It has already had 18 till now this year. In 2007, there were 193 acts of suicide terrorism in the Pakistan-Afghanistan region in which 195 suicide volunteers killed themselves. One act of suicide terrorism in Afghanistan was jointly staged by three volunteers. 6.Against this background, one read with some amazement your claim in your interview to the *Washington Post" (May 30,2008) that Al Qaeda has been strategically defeated and that the "war" against Al Qaeda is more or less over. The "Washington Post" has quoted you as saying: "On balance, we are doing pretty well.Near strategic defeat of Al Qaeda in Iraq. Near strategic defeat for Al Qaeda in Saudi Arabia. Significant setbacks for Al Qaeda globally -- and here I'm going to use the word 'ideologically' -- as a lot of the Islamic world pushes back on their form of Islam.The ability to kill and capture key members of Al Qaeda continues, and keeps them off balance -- even in their best safe haven along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border." 7. The "Washington Post" wrote: "Since the start of the year, he said, Al -Qaeda's global leadership has lost three senior officers, including two who succumbed "to violence," an apparent reference to Predator strikes that killed terrorist leaders Abu Laith al-Libi and Abu Sulayman al-Jazairi in Pakistan. He also cited a successful blow against "training activity" in the region but offered no details. "Those are the kinds of things that delay and disrupt Al Qaeda's planning," Hayden said." 8.Even as you were giving the interview to the "Washington Post" to mark the completion of your two years as the Director of the CIA, a suicide bomber----believed to be from Al Qaeda or one of its associates--- was taking up position in Islamabad to stage an act of suicide terrorism against the Danish Embassy on June 2,2008. Neither the CIA nor the Pakistani or Afghan intelligence had any inkling of their plans. 9. You claim that your Predator aircraft have killed two important operatives of Al Qaeda in Pakistan's tribal region. Yes, true. But you don't mention that your Predator aircraft have also killed over 200 young children in the tribal region due to wrong intelligence and targeting. Even as you were giving your "Mission Accomplished" interview to the "Washington Post", Lt.Gen. Jamshed Gulzar Kiyani, of the Pakistan Army, who had served in Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), was telling the Geo TV of Pakistan in an interview as follows: "Today, everybody believed that Gen Musharraf was fighting the American war on the soil of Pakistan and we are paying for that today. Musharraf's departure from power was close at hand. The President should not have given in to US threat in the wake of the 9/11 tragedy. The ISI was used to commit wrong acts. I was in the ISI and advised against such acts but my advice fell on deaf ears. As a result today, Musharraf is the most unpopular President. Suicide attacks that were beyond imagination before 9/11 are difficult to control now. I am not a supporter ofsuicide attacks, but these reflect an easy reaction that cannot be stopped by anyone. It was as a reaction to his policies that suicide attacks started in the country. Force was used in South and North Waziristan and 80 students were killed in a Bajaur Madrassa in an American operation. What was the crime of these students?" 10. For every innocent child and woman killed by your Predator aircraft, two or more suicide bombers are born. Musharraf, whom you projected as your frontline ally in the "war" against terrorism, is the most despised man in Pakistan today. One does not know how long he will lost in power.Mr.Asif Zardari, the leader of the Pakistan People's Party, recently described him as a relic of the past. The people of Pakistan look upon him as an American stooge who let himself be used by the CIA to kill Muslims and to pick up Pakistanis in dozens, if not hundreds, and hand them over to the CIA without following the due process of law.Nobody knows what happened to many of them. 11. President Karzai hardly knows Afghanistan outside Kabul. He spends his time globe-trotting and is rarely able to travel in his country. There is more anti-US anger in the Islamic world today than in the past. "Publicity is the oxygen of terrorism," said Mrs.Margaret Thatcher, when she was the British Prime Minister and banned any reference to the Irish Republican Army in the British radio and television. More than publicity, anger is the oxygen of any terrorism--- jihadi or non-jihadi. 12. It is this anger, which drove about 200 young Pakistani and Afghan Muslims to take to suicide terrorism last year. It is this anger which is behind jihadi terrorism---be it in Iraq or Afghanistan or Somalia or Algeria or elsewhere. It is this anger which has been behind the acts of jihadi terrorism which we have been having in India from time to time. 13. Whereas in India, the anger is largely due to domestic reasons, in the Islamic world the anger is due to the manner in which the US has been waging its so-called war against terrorism in general and Al Qaeda in particular. It is this anger which has been driving more and more young Muslim boys to take to suicide terrorism. As I have repeatedly pointed out in my articles, Al Qaeda is not recruiting volunteers. Young Muslims, angered by the manner in which the US has been waging its so-called war, have been going to Al Qaeda and its associates and volunteering themselves for suicide missions. 14. The Madrid bombers of March 2004 and the London bombers of July 2005 were not recruited by Al Qaeda or Osama bin Laden. They volunteered their services angered by the US policies in Iraq and Afghanistan. The London and Glasgow bombers of June,2007---one of them an Indian Muslim--- were not recruited by Al Qaeda or bin Laden. They volunteered their services due to anti-US anger. Adam Gadahan, the American convert to Islam, who used to head As-Sahab, Al Qaeda's psywar and propaganda division, was not recruited by Al Qaeda. He went to Afghanistan and volunterered his services. The German converts to Islam who were trained by the Islamic Jihad Group (ISG) in the Federally-Administetred Tribal Areas (FATA) of Pakistan, were not recruited by Al Qaeda. They went to FATA and volunteered their services. 15. The media has reported that you feel that Al Qaeda is on the retreat because there has been no repeat of 9/11 in the US homeland, there has been no repeat of July,2005, in the UK and because it could not capture power in Saudi Arabia. You had a major act of jihadi terrorism in the US homeland in February,1993, when some jihadis tried to blow up the New York World Centre. You did not tighten up physical security thereafter in the US homeland till 9/11. Despite this, it took Al Qaeda more than eight years to stage the 9/11 strikes. It takes a long time for a jihadi group from the Islamic world to carry out a successful strike in the US because it is thousands of kms away from the Islamic world and it has immense human and material resources. Moreover, Al Qaeda will strike in the US once again only when it feels that it has the potential and capability for another spectacular strike in the US. It is not interested in carrying out not so spectacular strikes in the US just as the jihadis have been carrying out in India. 16. You overlook that the jihadis totally took the British intelligence by surprise when they tried to stage a terrorist strike in June in London and Glasgow. Their attempts failed not because the British intelligence was alert but because the mobile telephones, which they had planned to use as triggers malfunctioned. If they had functioned properly, there might have been another July,2005. 17. As regards their failure to capture power in Saudi Arabia , insurgents seek territorial control and go after political power. Terrorists don't. Bringing about the exit of US troops from Saudi Arabia was one of the aims of Al Qaeda. Damaging its oil production was another in order to cause serious damage to Western economy. Capture of power was not. Your troops have left Saudi Arabia. Al Qaeda was hoping to cause huge increases in oil prices in the world by attacking the Saudi oil production facilities.When oil prices are racing towards US $ 140 per barrel, threatening to create an economic chaos in the world, where is the need for an Al Qaeda operation to achieve this? They are not going to sacrifice their precious suicide bombers to achieve something which the US has already achieved for them. 18. There is no such thing as victory or defeat over a terrorist organisation. Terrorist organisations---jihadi or non-jihadi-- are not militarily defeated. They are made to wither away by weakening their motivation, damaging their capability and denying them popular support. To achieve this, two things are essential--- firm, but balanced---not disproportionate--- counter-terrorism operations and measures for the containment and reduction of anger. 19. In my view, the US is not yet in sight of achieving either of this objective. With warm regards, B.Raman.Additional Secretary (retd),Cabinet Secretariat,Govt. of India.
National Consultation on Promoting Ecocities in Nepal Nepal is one of South Asian developing country with borders connecting India in east, west and south and China in North. Nepal is a country rich in ethnicity, culture and heritage. Nepalese history, diversity and culture, and its outstanding significance have been recognized by the inscription of seven groups of monuments in the Kathmandu Valley on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Currently, Nepal is in the process of an unprecedented socio-political transition aimed at enhancing economic growth and prosperity after the culmination of the constitution drafting process through the historic constituent assembly held in 2015. The state restructuring process, involving transfer from unitary to federal structure, has gained momentum after completion of local, provincial and central level election. However, in the same year, on April 25, 2015, a major earthquake struck Nepal, causing thousands of human causalities and widespread destruction of building and infrastructure. This earthquake’s impact on heritage places was extensive throughout the Kathmandu valley. The year 2015, bear a significant role in context of Nepal, as reached political benchmark as republican country whereas had to overcome unfortunate even of natural disaster. Now, the constitution has envisioned the formation of the Federation, the State and the Local level. The country has been able to restructure into 753 local government and seven provincial governments. Kathmandu Valley is divided into three districts i.e Kathmandu, which has 11 municipalities, Lalitpur which has 3 municipalities and Bhaktapur which has 4 municipalities. Altogether there are 18 municipalities in Kathmandu Valley. In context of Kathmandu valley, the city was build with ancient architecture and heritage, more likely as an eco friendly city. The city had many open spaces inform of courtyards, walking friendly infrastructure with many greenery in surrounding the area. This has been challenged by both earthquake (damaging most of historical monuments) and notion of political leaders toward making city smart with high rise, wide road infrastructure for vehicles. General understanding of people about smart city is with effective information and communication technology, basically promoting efficient world. The concept of smart city would go hand in hand along with concept of eco city. Newly elected Mayors of city are promoting smart city as one of key agenda but we believe that to achieve that goal, the city should be eco friendly too. The concept of Ecocity and smart city both together would appeal to public of all age and group. It would be a perfect mix of livable city at the end. In one hand people are looking for efficiency and effectiveness and on other hand they are equally fighting to preserve culture, heritage and social norms It is also needed to be considering that with a rapidly growing majority of the population now living in urban cities, they have to face unprecedented social and environmental challenges. These have related challenges to human health, biodiversity and the bedrocks of life – food, water, and energy. The technological growth and use by urban people have resulted in many unhealthy practices, which the cities have failed to cope and address, physically, emotionally or even mentally. We should focus on sustainable approach that enhances life and environment together. Since, local government representatives are recently placed in offices, it is a right time to promote eco friendly city as need of people instead of smart city. Considering all these factors, RECPHEC planned to be held “A National Consultation Program On Promoting Ecocity in Nepal” on October 31, 2018 which also mark “World Cities Day”. The main purpose of this forum is to advocate for eco friendly city with the newly formed municipality representatives of all eighteen municipality of Kathmandu. The main objective of this consultation workshop is to enhance the coordination between different stakeholders for the promote and initiate policy dialogues to ensure eco friendly city. Along with that, it also aim to; i. Sensitize the issue of Eco friendly cities. ii. Discuss on existing policies and condition in term of promoting Ecocity in Kathmandu Valley. iii. Enhance coordination amongst all the stakeholders for the promotion of Ecocity. A Key note presentation “Promoting Ecocities: International Experiences” was done by Ms. Kirstin Miller, Executive Director of Ecocitu Builders and Mr. Scott Allen, GIS Manager, Ecocity Builder. It was followed by two presentations on “Eco-Smart Future for Town in the Bowl” and “Establishing Eco-communities: A Case Study of Lalitpur” from Prof. Dr Sudarshan Raj Tiwari, IOE and Mr. Pradeep Amatya, LMC respectively. After this there was open forum which was facilitated by Prof. Dr. Sharad Onta, Chairperson, RECPEHC. All of the municipalities representatives shared their experiences, threats and opportunities to make their place Eco-friendly. Dr. Onta acknowledged participation of the entire municipality representative and said that, the changes will not happen in one time a lot of time and dedication is required. But if we can consider ecological factor in planning process, it will help achieve sustainable development in our country. This forum is just a start. We should discuss these issues often and work in collaboration with each other. After Prof.Dr. Onta, Mr. Mulmi ended the program thanking all the participants and committed that in future, if any municipality require technical support then RECPHEC will always be ready to support and collaborate. It is also great news that all the municipalities are already on board on issue of air pollution and are working to reduce air pollution. Developing eco city will not just help reduce air pollution but other form of environment pollution and will enhance health of people. Along with that he also committed to take this agenda further in national level and continue the advocacy. 1. RECPEHC would continuously coordinate with Eco city Builders to get their inputs and create opportunity in future endeavors. 2. RECPHEC would communicate with all the municipalities post this workshop to follow up on their present and action related to this topic. 3. If any municipality requests for technical support, then RECPHEC will provide technical assistance to the municipality. 4. RECPHEC will again coordinate with Lalitpur Municipality to promote Lalitpur as one the eco friendly city in Kathmandu. 5. RECPHEC will raise and discuss this agenda with honorable members of National Planning Commission. 6. RECPHEC will also advocate on this issue further in national level.

What is a Portable Appliance? An appliance of less than 18kg in mass that is intended to be moved while in operation or an appliance that can easily be moved from one place to another, eg, kettle, toaster, food mixer, vacuum cleaner, iron, PC, Monitor, Fax, Laminator etc. Portable Appliance Testing The Inspection and tests that are to be carried out are described below, with tests varying dependant upon the class of appliance. However, the testing of all appliances is essential as part of a regular maintenance regime to ensure conformity to Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. Without passing the initial visual inspection, no appliance can be passed as safe. The inspection involves examination of the plug top, casing and lead of the equipment. The plug top is checked for the correct fuse size, adequate cord grip, correct polarity and tightness of terminals, cracking, heat damage and a plug with insulating pins conforming to current BS standards. The outer casing of the equipment is checked for any damage or cracks and any holes or vents that are apparent must not have a radius greater than 6mm. Also there must not be any live parts within 80mm of the aperture. Class of Equipment Class 1 This is any equipment that has an earth connection from the mains supply. In most cases this equipment will have exposed earthed metal work and live parts will have basic insulation, e.g., fan heater, computer etc. Class 2a This equipment has no exposed metalwork and has two layers of insulation, e.g., desk calculator, dictation machine, etc. Class 2b This equipment may have exposed unearthed metalwork, which will be separated from live parts by two layers of insulation, e.g., power drill, etc. Class 3 This equipment operates from a power supply less than 50v AC and has basic insulation with no earthed metalwork, e.g., lap top computer, mobile phone, etc. RedRat PAT Testing. 1-20 items just £35.00. Example or one of our tests:WE ALWAYS Ask user to shut down PC Remove plug from socket Remove plug top (if not moulded) and check terminals are tight, terminated correctly and fuse has correct safety standards Remove fuse for moulded plugs and check safety standards Check entire length of cable to ensure integrity, this often means crawling under desks through everything thats down there Visualy inspect appliance Plug appliance into tester and run tests (tests take 20-30 seconds) Replace everything and power up to ensure all is working Enter detail of description etc into software Apply labels to equipment and remove old labels
Author: Claire Paccalin \| infomigrants.net \| 10 April 2019 The damp containers and tents of Moria Camp on Lesbos feel like a dead-end for many migrants and refugees, who have traveled weeks or months and paid people-smugglers often large sums of money to reach the European Union. Faced with criticism over poor living conditions, the camp’s director tells InfoMigrants he and his team are "doing our best, but we have new arrivals all the time." Patience is not only a virtue, it’s a necessity for residents of Moria Camp on Lesbos. They spend most of the day lining up for meals, medicine and paperwork. Many have learnt the word for wait in Greek: perimene. "Always perimene," a migrant from Cameroon told us. "Hospital perimene, to eat perimene, police perimene, how many perimene? I wait in the European Union!" Sometimes the wait leads to tension. When InfoMigrants visited the camp, two Afghan women were hurling insults at each other and needed to be pulled apart to prevent a physical fight. Anger had boiled over as they waited in the rain to see the doctor. Read more>>>
The great hammerhead (Sphyrna mokarran) is the largest species of hammerhead shark, belonging to the family Sphyrnidae, attaining a maximum length of 6. 1 m (20 ft). It is found in tropical and warm temperate waters worldwide, inhabiting coastal areas and the continental shelf. The great hammerhead can be distinguished from other hammerheads by the shape of its "hammer" (called the "cephalofoil"), which is wide with an almost straight front margin, and by its tall, sickle-shaped first dorsal fin. A solitary, strong-swimming apex predator, the great hammerhead feeds on a wide variety of prey ranging from crustaceans and cephalopods, to bony fish, to smaller sharks. Observations of this species in the wild suggest that the cephalofoil functions to immobilize stingrays, a favored prey. This species has a viviparous mode of reproduction, bearing litters of up to 55 pups every two years. © rock-cafe.info 2018-2019
Usually there are two types of transfer systems: the transfer of printing and textile i classic or direct transfer. Our textile transfer systems allow us excellent results with four colors or six spot colors, offering spectacular results with vivid colors soft and smooth touch featuring a lasting even than screen printing. There is also the water transfer printing or hydrographic, a dip transfer process used to apply images to trimensionales objects by immersion in water. What is transfer? As mentioned, there are two types of transfer stamping: textiles, screen printing and direct or classic. The Transfer of Screen Printing (Plastisol) Textiles is a lot like the Silk screen except that the ink does not print directly on fabric but on a special paper, which is then transferred to the garment by means of a thermal plate system. Has the same color limitations that classical but with the advantage that the transfer can be saved for later use screen printing. The use of Pantone colors quite accurately retains the original. The picture quality offered allows us to obtain a very realistic for both color as white garments, offering greater resistance in its finish. You can use color process, spot colors for metal, fluorescent, etc. Classic Transfer (paper) Direct Transfer is a system that consists of transferring a printed sheet in a printer of high resolution color to a light or dark fabric through heat press, obtaining very visual results. It is very economical for small amounts. Unlike vinyl printing and cutting, design forms in the transfer are not cut, but transferred as a sticker to the garment. Touch is somewhat softer than vinyl. Although it is a technique with acceptable strength can not compare to the quality and durability of screen printing, vinyl or digital printing. The great advantage of Plastisol Transfer about screen printing, for example, is that you need not know in advance the size and color of the garment on which it is to be transferred. Is a delicate art that requires washing clothes in cold and upside down. How is it performed? In the transfer process is required a paper type called “transfer” for its properties of transfer ink to another material. The printing of this paper can be performed by screen printing method or directly from a printer, as screen printing or direct transfer (classic). Like in serigraphy, printing is performed in mirror (reversed) and inverting the ink layers. Therefore, the first visible color in the textile must be first printed on the transfer support. Application by screen printing on paper offer great strength and durability on garments with a higher quality than the direct application on the papers. Once printed papers transfers, each color is pre-dried (or pregelifica) according to the type of ink used. Below it is transferred to the garment by applying heat and pressure in industrial sheets, depending on the garment and apply varying heat and pressure method. Finally support transfer of cool completely after the garment off. This process is used to achieve excellent results in places where conventional printing is difficult to print and has the advantage over conventional screen printing graphics that can be transferred to a larger number of colors. It is applied to woven fabrics of cotton, polyester, nylon, leather … Another important advantage is that the transfer paper can be reused as many times as needed and can be stored for later use. Is printed by screen printing to a paper called “transfer” for its ink transfer properties to another material. Subsequently, the transfer printing is applied on the article by heat and pressure. It is defined as the process of applying screen printing on paper that we use to transfer the design to the garments. They are transfers using a screen printing inks for maximum strength and quality and the same process, but rather than directly on the fabric, is printed on a siliconized paper. Once “cured” by the heat, it is transferred to an industrial fabric sheet by heat and pressure. What is this applied for? Although typically used for textiles, it can also be applied to other materials such as small or medium format mugs, umbrellas, alfrombrillas Mouse, bags, hats, fans, etc … For application onto non-planar surfaces, the water transfer printing applied to metal, wood, most plastics, glass or any material that is not affected by water is used. Has an endless variety of end uses: helmets, dryers, vehicles, footwear, binoculars, weapons, tools, glasses and a long etc. In its application on polyester textiles offers the best results to be very thermally stable and insensitive to moisture.

So what do the children get up to at Shine Early Years group? After greeting their teachers and one another with a number of songs and dancing, the children settle down to listen to a prayer and their first story. Even the youngest sit still and quietly, having learned from their older friends and siblings how they should behave. The older children know how to lead the way and very rarely would a younger child be without an older friend to help them. This is how it rolls in the villages. The stories are engaging and interactive using simple, traditional, hand-drawn pictures held in front of the class. Questions are asked to reward those who were listening. Clapping of hands followed by a resounding “Well done, Well done, Keep it up” follows each raised hand and attempt to answer the question. Children are later divided into age groups for various activities. Sorting bottle tops into colours is a simple game enjoyed by the children using recycled Fanta and Coke caps! The teachers like to use a mix of items found in the villages as well as those from the store (donated). Many children need to be instructed on how to handle items such as books and toys, never having been introduced to such things at home. Paints made from clay as well as bright powders are used. Children can, therefore, understand how to use things found in their surrounding area when away from school. Singing, dancing, popping and chasing bubbles together is one of their favorite group activities. A quiet time for reading and writing is encouraged but this can be a challenge when the group is busy. Children look forward to their bowl of porridge which is served at the start of each session. In 2016 we built a small playground on our grounds which gets lots of wear and tear from our Early Years group every day. The children love the swings and slide and playing with little cars in the sandpit. The seesaw and rubber tyres are also really popular with all ages.

As many of you know, the 2016 crop season was very favorable for stripe rust due to the mild winter and early spring with temperature and moisture conditions that were favorable for rust development. In some cases, this resulted in severe rust in fields planted to susceptible varieties and/or multiple fungicide applications to limit rust damage. Following harvest, early rains resulted in good seeding conditions through much of our area and the fall wheat crop emerged and was infected by stripe rust spores from late-maturing fields. Consequently, stripe rust was well-established in many winter wheat fields heading into winter of 2016-2017. Overwintering stripe rust infections are nothing new; stripe rust potential in spring depends on how well the rust survives over winter, with mild winter temperatures resulting in greater survival than cold temperatures. Dr. Chen, USDA-ARS Research Plant Pathologist in Pullman, uses models based on average temperatures from November to February to predict rust severity and just released his first stripe rust forecast of the 2017 season last week. The current forecast is positive with stripe rust predicted to be in the low range, i.e. 6% yield loss on susceptible varieties. Although this is good news, it needs to be tempered by the fact that Dr. Chen’s models don’t account for snow cover, which insulates the rust from cold temperatures. Many areas of eastern Washington have had protective snow cover since the middle of December. Rust potential going forward depends on how long the snow cover persists and temperatures through February. As a result, we won’t really know how well the rust survived and the potential for rust until winter has broken. Stay tuned for more rust updates as conditions change. In the meantime, you can find additional information on stripe rust, including photos showing rust percentage, under the Foliar Fungal Diseases in the Disease Resources section of the WSU Wheat and Small Grains website.
About Solar Power Why solar? It’s time to reduce your monthly electric bills with clean solar power. Electric rates are skyrocketing, but clean solar energy is abundant and free to harness. Thanks to new technologies and a wealth of solar rebates and solar incentives, there has never been a better time to invest in clean solar energy. Home solar panels provide energy independence and protect homeowners from costly utility rate hikes. Solar panels increase home value from the moment of installation, last a lifetime and require very little maintenance. Should you decide to sell your home, a home powered by clean solar energy sells at a premium compared to one without. Save money and reduce your carbon footprint with clean, renewable solar power. How do Solar Panels Work? Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology produces electricity from sunlight, using solid-state materials with no moving parts. It’s a mature technology, first invented by Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel in 1839 and initially commercialized at Bell Labs in the 1950s. For residential application, solar power falls into two main categories. First is grid-tied solar power, where the home generates its own electricity but can also draw power from the utility company at night. The second type of solar energy for homes is off-grid solar power, where the home is located too far from an electrical utility cable and the home must generate its own power, storing energy in batteries for use at night. A basic home solar panel system consists of solar PV cells connected and packaged together in weather-protected modules, which are fastened side-by-side on a racking system to form an array. The solar panel modules produce direct current (DC), which in a grid-tied system flows to a grid- interactive inverter. An inverter changes DC voltage to the alternating current (AC) for the household electric circuit powering wall outlets and all AC appliances. Excess solar power from the inverter may flow out of the house through the utility company’s electric meter and into the city-wide grid. When this occurs, the meter may run backward, and the utility will credit the out flowing solar electricity against electricity purchased from the grid at other times, like at night. This process is called net-metering. In an off-grid solar power system, DC power flows from the modules through a charge controller (also called a regulator), which is an electronic device that produces a smooth flow of current at the desired voltage. From the charge controller, the solar power can go to a set of storage batteries and then on to the inverter, as needed. Today’s Commercially Available Solar Panels Come in Three (3) Versions: Single-crystal (or monocrystalline) modules are currently the most efficient — that is, one square meter produces the most electric power. These solar panels must be mounted in a rigid frame. Monocrystalline solar PV panels are useful when there isn’t much room for mounting or for homeowners who wish to keep their solar panel installations small. Multicrystalline (or polycrystalline) modules are made of cells cut from multiple crystals, grown together in an ingot. This type of solar photovoltaic panel is slightly less efficient than a single- crystal solar panel, but is cheaper to produce and cheaper to buy. Thin-film solar cell modules (or amorphous solar modules) are made by depositing thin layers of materials on glass, metal or plastic substrates. These solar panels are less efficient than silicon solar panels and more space may be required to generate the same amount of solar energy. Thin film solar cells are known to perform well in low light conditions. Not to mention, they are less expensive, durable, and their flexibility enables the solar PV panels to bend to fit the most unique roof shapes. What are Solar Photovoltaic Cells Made of? How are Solar Panel Cells Made? Crystalline photovoltaic solar cells are comprised of silicon, a little bit of boron, and phosphorus. These solar energy cells contain anti-reflection materials, a screen printing of electrically conductive grid lines on the top, as well as a coating of aluminum on the bottom to collect the electrons. The solar cells are made by liquefying the silicon (derived from pure sand) at high temperatures, and then slowly cooling the material in a way that creates large crystals. For single crystal solar panels, a cylindrical boule is very slowly pulled from the molten silicon. Polycrystals are cooled in a block that is formed by quartz glass, making the grains of crystals as large as possible. The solid materials are sawed into very thin wafers to produce the individual solar panel cells. Thin-film solar panel modules are made from very thin layers deposited on an electrical conducting surface. These materials may originate as silane gas for amorphous silicon, cadmium and tellurium for CdTe, or copper, indium, gallium and selenium for CIGS. The deposition techniques may include sputtering, co-evaporation in a vacuum, electro- deposition, sintering or other techniques. Many variations of thin-film solar panel materials are being investigated for low-cost manufacturing and higher solar-to-electrical efficiencies. How much Solar Power do I Need for My Home? Electric power is measured in watts. A kilowatt (Kw) is 1,000 watts and a megawatt (Mw) is one million watts. You buy electricity in kilowatt- hours (Kwh) (which is energy as opposed to power). For instance, if you run a 100 watt light bulb for an hour, you’ve used 100 watt-hours of energy. If you run it for 10 hours, you’ve used 1 Kwh, for which the average household would be billed 14 cents (at $0.14/Kwh). A 1-Kw PV array can produce 1-Kw in direct sun. If sunlight falls on it five hours a day, it may produce 5-Kwh that day. Know your load. If your family uses 600 kWh of electricity each month, that works out to about 20 kWh per day. If you get an average of five hours of direct sunlight daily, you’d balance your electric use with about 4 kW of net-metered solar photovoltaic power. A 2-kW system would offset about 50 percent of your bill. What about Solar Panel Installation? Where and How Should I Install Solar Panels to Ensure Top Performance? Solar panel installation location is critical to solar panel performance. Solar panels should face the sun. This usually means due south, though if you have a heavy air-conditioning load in the late afternoon you may want to point the array southwest. The solar array should not be shaded during any part of its productive day. Solar panels should be tilted upward at the correct angle to optimize seasonal exposure — typically at the angle of your latitude so it gets sunlight at a right angle at the spring and fall equinoxes. Some solar panel arrays can be made adjustable for varying the angle at different seasons. If the solar panels need to be elevated above the roof surface, it places additional uplifting loads on the roof structure during wind storms. If the roof doesn’t offer a suitable structural surface for solar panel installation, consider a ground-mounted solar array in the yard. How Much Maintenance Does a Solar PV System Require? Solar PV is considered a low-maintenance system – there are no moving parts and mother nature keeps them clean. We have a web based monitoring system that you and SolarMax Inc can see what your system is doing to keep track of your power production. So, if there is any issues you will be notified by email from your solar system automatically. What is a Microinverter? Some newer grid-tied systems replace a large central inverter with several microinverters, individually attached to the back of each PV module. Power coming off the module/inverter combination is 240 volts AC and can tie directly to the household service panel. A major advantage is that if one module is shaded or broken, performance of the rest of the system is unaffected. You can monitor the performance of each individual panel, on a home computer or your smart phone.

During the Middle Ages, Christian pilgrims en route to Jerusalem had a problem. They needed to pay for food, transport and accommodation during their journey across Europe, which could take months. They also didn’t want to carry large amounts of precious coinage because they’d become a target for robbers. This became an obstacle to worship. That’s where the Knights Templar stepped in. The Knights Templar were a bunch powerful monks who defended Christian pilgrims. They had a solution to this cash issue. Pilgrims could leave money safely protected with the Knights Templar in England and withdraw it in Jerusalem. No cash needed. Pilgrims could just carry a letter of credit. It was basically a private bank before there was anything else like it. This was a pretty modern idea.
Wednesday, August 28, 2013 We Don't Have A Planetary Emergency - Yet Global Warming never was a planetary emergency, and then it became natural climate change (“natural” was omitted – it’s an inconvenient truth). Then it became severe weather, except that a modicum of weather history research shows current weather not nearly as severe as previous. Through it all the word “unprecedented” has been liberally sprinkled, without adding the caveats that the warming was only unprecedented if you only look back a century, or almost a millennium at most. How moderate warming can be considered an emergency, given the greater good it provides, and the economic and societal progress burning fossil fuels provides can be considered dangerous, is ludicrous. The alternative, global cooling leading into another glacial period, can be easily demonstrated to be a magnitude greater in terms of human catastrophes than warming could ever. For the past million years, 100,000-year glacial periods have alternated with 10,000-year interglacials. It’s no accident that humanity made more progress in the 10,000 years since the end of the last Ice Age than in the 100,000 years that preceded it. It won’t be long (in geological terms) before Chicago is back under a mile-thick ice sheet, and San Franciscans have to travel west 26 miles to get to the cruise ship berths. Dante was wise when he made ice the inner circle of Hell. A “Slushball” Earth is a planetary emergency to truly fear.

Sports for some people are a pursuit that they take pleasure in for some kind of exercise or relaxation. But for some may appear far more than a game. It can be called a passion, a kind of all consuming dedication that some people have for sports. The seriousness and dedication that athletes give to their chosen field of sport is acknowledged with reverence plus a sportsman is considered to be the epitome of fair play, dedication, focus and commitment. All general sports activities are categorized by their highly competitive nature and organized design. Some of these general sports have almost achieved a cult like status with folks following not just the game but in addition players and athletes associated with that game making them major sports celebrities. Many of the bettingbookers.com games that can be called in this category are football, baseball, basketball and hockey in the Uusa and Europe, While Cas a game was made popular by the British, it really is most of the countries that then fell under the British Imperial rule that still take pleasure in the game with complete fervor.

You may have heard that flipped and blended learning are transforming school and university classrooms, but what exactly is a flipped classroom? For many schools, with the teacher at the front and students seated in rows, the classroom has barely changed in the last century. But, today we know that there's no 'one size fits all' approach to learning. The idea behind a flipped model of education is that much of the content is covered outside of the classroom through bite sized video clips, quizzes and collaborative on-line discussions. Subsequently deeper learning can occur in the classroom through face to face discussion which can apply, evaluate and contextualise the content, as well as enhancing collaborative activities, strengthening relationships, and developing communication skills and other key competencies. The end result is a personalised, engaging learning experience for every student — whatever their learning style, pace, or ability. This term in room three we have been trialling a flipped classroom approach with our literacy learning. In practise, I have created a learning website and placed our literacy learning information online. Having the learning available online has enabled children to access the learning material at school and from home. Scarlet and Izzy have already been accessing and working on their learning at home. If a child is away from school for a time, when they return to school, they can still be up to date. Their class time remains focused and engaging and we are able to continue our learning without children being left behind or needing to catch up. Our children have been very focused and extremely engaged, and because of this, I have been able to explicitly focus on specific children and their learning needs. Our learning site can be accessed from this link: https://goo.gl/0BQq8K I also developed a simple music site children can access and learn how to play the ukulele: https://goo.gl/kDEzcj
Australia is home to over 10,000 beaches around its shores and the country has some of the best beaches in the world. Many of the beaches are hot spots for wildlife, while some of the best beaches are so big that you won’t even have to fight for space to set down your towel and start relaxing. Here is a guide to some of the best beaches Australia has to offer. Surfing and Swimming For those who are looking for the perfect spots to enjoy some surfing, then look no further than Bell’s Beach in Victoria. Widely regarded as the spiritual centre of surfing due to the brilliant swells it experiences, Bell’s Beach is frequented by numerous experienced surfers all year round. However, the beach does not have good conditions for swimming, head over to Torquay Beach, the home of the surf brand Rip Curl, where you will find some calmer seas that are better for swimming. There is also the alternative of Byron Bay in New South Wales. Formerly known for its hippy culture, Byron Bay has started to shift away from this reputation, although you will still see the occasional dreadlocked character wandering around, and is now better known for its great beaches for swimming, surfing and wind surfing. A lot of the beaches in Australia have the luxury of having backdrops that feature forest and bush. This means that while you are sunbathing, you may also get the opportunity to spot some wildlife such as koalas and other forms of beautiful fauna. Rockingham Beach in Western Australia is one such location. An hour’s drive away from Perth, it is home to approximately 150 bottle nose dolphins in its clear waters. Bremer Bay, also in Western Australia, is one of the best spots to get a glimpse of some Southern Right Whales playing around in the waters just metres away from the shore. Around July to October time is breeding season for this animals, so you might even get to glimpse a mother and baby combination. Clarkes Beach in Byron Bay on the opposite side of the country is also home to some great wildlife. There are plenty of dolphins you can kayak along with and on occasion, you might even spot some whales that come here to feed. Whale spotting can set you back as much as $89 per person (often over 12), so it’s a good idea, especially if you’re taking the whole family, to try and save money where you can on things like flights for the important parts of the holiday. Beauty and Remoteness With Australia being such a large country with so many beaches, it is fairly easy for you to find a superb beach that is isolated. Whitehaven Beach in Queensland is one of the better selections as it is easily accessible but also renowned for its brilliantly clean white sands. To get there you will need to head over to Airlie Beach on the mainland and take a boat trip over. Hyams Beach in New South Wales is also renowned, as it holds the Guinness Book of Records for having the whitest sand in the world. You will find the beach just a short distance away from Sydney and while it is by no means a remote stretch of sand, it is still worth the trip for being such a beautiful location.

Sunday, July 12, 2015 The Tucson Arts Brigade and Tucson Mural Arts Program were delighted to offer Tucson’s first ever “Community Build Day” on Saturday June 6, 2015 from 10am - 5pm at 316 N 4th Ave. in Haggerty Plaza. This exciting one day event brought together over 60 youth and adults to paint murals, create mosaics, network, celebrate and more. The day included mural painting, mosaics, recycled art, car painting and t-shirt making. Unlike past projects this was not a “paint by number” project, rather participants interacted discussing what colors and ideas should be used. The collaborative design for the mural reflected it’s the original “Share the Bounty” image created in 1997. Participants and organizers came from throughout southern Arizona. One goal of this project was to bring together Tucson and Ajo art students to collaborate on a project. Some of the students had met in Ajo for the Street Mural Project this past spring and this project helped forge these relationships. We were also joined by volunteers from the Bank of America who really helped get the day going with their energy and enthusiasm. It was a delightful day and lots of people passing by participated. Arriving at 8am, we managed to clean up by 5pm. Out of this experience has emerged a planning committee who will be meeting over the summer to plan for our next big event. The mural we were painting has a long history. It was originally painted in 1997 as part of the Phantom Mural Project. The mural faded and we sought grant support to fund the restoration and creation of an outdoor classroom. Finally after several failed grants we turned to the community, people power, to fund and bring tis project to completion. There are still funds to be raised, but we are on our way! The mural depicts a woman holding baskets filled with produce from local farmers. This new version of the mural includes tiles and a new color scheme. Community Build Day was planned by a group of 18 volunteers who shared the vision of building positive thinking communities through the arts. Volunteers staffed a series of stations; T-Shirt making, mosaics, car-painting, recycled-art and mural painting. It did get hot and we decided that our next event would start earlier and end about noon. None the less our crew stayed until past 5pm, cleaning up the site and taking the time to reflect on our work. The mural still needs some work, our hot summer days and a bit much for the painters, and the paint. We will be resuming work on this and other projects one the summer monsoons bring cooler weather. You can make a tax-deductible donation to this project by mail: TAB POB 545, Tucson, AZ 85702 or on line: http://bit.ly/YrIrJh Community Build day was a fantastic step in bringing together people who are filled with creative passion to re-imagine the world we wish to inhabit. We look forward to lots more acts of collective art making this summer and fall. For information on how you can get involved email: TMAP@TucsonArtsBrigade.org A Special Thank You to all our community sponsors; \|Youth in the Green Revolution project established an outdoor classroom, animating the area with a mural and gardens.\| by Zoe B. 15 girls at Secrist Middle School in Tucson, Arizona joined a Girl Scout six-week series called “Green Revolution”. We learned about our global food network, and healthy eating. We celebrated the end of our series with a Take Action Project for the school. Students partnered with the Tucson Arts Brigade, and Civano Nursery to paint a mural and plant a garden. The colors and designs used in the mural each represent something meaningful. There is a shape with a tribal print on it, which represents creativity. The piece of art work also includes designs that resemble question marks to express the importance of asking questions. The self-sustaining desert garden includes different types of cacti and aloe. The plants are small now but will eventually grow and blossom into something beautiful much like the children here at Secrist.
Young people wouldn’t mind having a grand portrait of themselves before the wrinkles start popping in. It’s only an idiot that will ask music super star, Wizkid if he attended school and scorn him because he didn’t. Of course aspiring doctors, engineers, accountants,… need their precious degrees to achieve their dreams. There are diverse ways to equip young people for dream actualization, which are broadly classified into two: formal and informal education. Many young people are enthusiastic about making it big at a very young age but imagine having to study a five year course in a Nigerian University where ASSU strike is prevalent. One thing that is commendable about learning a trade like tailoring, is the flexibility of the duration; what might take one student a whole year to learn, might take another student just six months. Many gifted youths snob the university because it gives them with little or no control of their time. Mark Zuckerberg must have perceived, as a young Harvard student, that his ambitions transcended course outlines. Why can’t highly intelligent students be allowed to skip a year or two so they can graduate as quickly as possible, as long as they can pass the final examinations? There are young people who can learn at an extremely fast rate. Once a young person starts showing lack of interest in school it’s usually not intentional. They might have made the decision to study a course in the University because for some reasons doing so will make their parents proud, so that people won’t begin to question their intelligence when it seems like everyone else are leaving for the university. Sadly, people think the University is the ultimate citadel of knowledge, there is so much pressure on young people to pass through the system so as not to be discriminated against. Yes, it is not any easy feat to stack up degrees, it’s also not an easy feat to establish oneself in a trade, it’s not easy to develop a God given talent into a lucrative career. As long as we don’t neglect the power of knowledge, we can really good far in the achievement of our individual goals. Knowledge can be found anywhere. The Thing that matters, even so much more than finding fulfilment early in life, is to be contented with life. One simple truth is this; laziness is a product of frustration. A lot of young people are frustrated with life because they made hasty career choices that are conflicting with their abilities. If more and more youths take the decision to pick up something they truly are interested in, we would see how diligent, vibrant and contented they will become, as they ease themselves into becoming worthy leaders of their tomorrow.

Why does a nurse belong in a church? Women have been nursing in the church since the early days of church history. Deaconesses such as Phoebe and Fabiola cared for the sick and the poor. Religious orders of women showed God’s love by caring for the sick in monasteries. This rich history of compassionate care led German Lutheran Pastor, Theodor Fleidner, to start the Kaiserwerth Institute for the Training of deaconess nurses. The nurses were called “Parish Nurses” and Florence Nightingale was one of the most notable students. Feeling called to service through nursing, Nightingale combined the roots of Christian care with high professional standards. Nightingale viewed God as goodness, wisdom and love and reflected this belief through nursing care. Parish Nursing is now called Faith Community Nursing to reflect the growth in many faith traditions. The practice of Faith Community Nursing has grown from a church based clinic in Chicago to an international specialty nursing practice recognized by the American Nurses Association. Faith Community Nurses check blood pressures, give seminars on health related topics, and assist with navigating the healthcare system according to the values and traditions of the faith community. The skills of observation, listening and “being present” are at the heart of nursing care. Many FCN’s find this part of the ministry the most valuable. The FCN provides compassionate, professional care for the whole person. Visiting Nurses of the Lower Valley has been serving the shoreline community since 1920. As a community supported, nonprofit organization we provide compassionate, professional, licensed and supportive home care services of the highest quality to people of the Lower Valley. We recognize the needs of the community. Spiritual leaders of all faiths are often closely involved with individuals and families who struggle to care for loved ones or manage difficult healthcare issues. The aging of the population, and the complexities of healthcare, have increased the need for supportive home care. VNLV would like to extend a helping hand to assist you, and your congregants with your healthcare needs through home health services and health related programs. To support the faith community effort to care for people in need, Visiting Nurses of the Lower Valley has the Faith Community Nurse available to Shoreline religious communities for health education programs, advocacy, blood pressure screening, and referral. Contact Deborah Ringen, MSN, RN-BC Faith Community Nurse at (860) 767-0186 for further information.
Nonproliferating bystander CD4+ T cells lacking activation markers support HIV replication during immune activation HIV replicates primarily in lymphoid tissue and immune activation is a major stimulus in vivo. To determine the cells responsible for HIV replication during Ag-driven T cell activation, we used a novel in vitro model employing dendritic cell presentation of superantigen to CD4(+) T cells. Dendritic cells and CD4(+) T cells are the major constituents of the paracortical region of lymphoid organs, the main site of Ag-specific activation and HIV replication. Unexpectedly, replication occurred in nonproliferating bystander CD4(+) T cells that lacked activation markers. In contrast, activated Ag-specific cells were relatively protected from infection, which was associated with CCR5 and CXC chemokine receptor 4 down-regulation. The finding that HIV replication is not restricted to highly activated Ag-specific CD4(+) T cells has implications for therapy, efforts to eradicate viral reservoirs, immune control of HIV, and Ag-specific immune defects.
Levels of cyclooxygenase-2 are increased in the oral mucosa of smokers: Evidence for the role of epidermal growth factor receptor and its ligands Receptor, Epidermal Growth Factor Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is a promising pharmacologic target for preventing aerodigestive malignancies. In this study, we investigated the effects of tobacco smoke on the expression of COX-2 in oral mucosa. An approximately 4-fold increase in amount of COX-2 mRNA was observed in the oral mucosa of active smokers versus never smokers. Thus, a series of in vitro studies were carried out to elucidate the mechanism by which tobacco smoke induced COX-2. Treatment of a nontumorigenic oral epithelial cell line (MSK-Leuk1) with a saline extract of tobacco smoke (TS) stimulated COX-2 transcription, resulting in increased amounts of COX-2 mRNA, COX-2 protein, and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) synthesis. Exposure of cells to TS also caused an increase in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase activity. Both an inhibitor of EGFR tyrosine kinase activity and a neutralizing anti-EGFR antibody blocked TS-mediated induction of COX-2. To define the mechanism by which TS activated EGFR, the release of amphiregulin and transforming growth factor alpha, two ligands of the EGFR, was measured. Exposure to TS caused a rapid increase in the release of both ligands. TS also markedly induced the expression of mRNAs for amphiregulin and transforming growth factor alpha. Importantly, increased expression of both ligands was also detected in the oral mucosa of active smokers. Taken together, these results suggest that activation of EGFR signaling contributes to the elevated levels of COX-2 found in the oral mucosa of smokers. Moreover, these findings strengthen the rationale for determining whether inhibitors of COX-2 or EGFR tyrosine kinase activity can reduce the risk of tobacco smoke-related malignancies of the aerodigestive tract.
Maximum/Minimum buying price – Represents the ideal buying price of the stock. Below the minimum price generally represents, the stock is weak and above the maximum price considered as the stock is extended. Stop Loss – Acceptable risk price. All the investments pose it owns risk. So, cutting the loss short is a good thing. Generally 8% stop loss will give the stock enough room to retrace after clearing the buying prices.
UR::Role::Prototype - Implementation for defining and composing roles Basic info about using roles is described in the documentation for UR::Role. When a role is defined using the role keyword, it creates a UR::Role::Prototype instance. Role prototypes represent an uncomposed role. They have most of the same properties as UR::Object::Type instances. Returns a hashref of property data about the named property. Returns a list of all the properties named in the role's Returns a list of all the properties named in the roles's Returns a list of all the function names in the role's namespace. Define a role and return the role prototype. Return the name of the role. Returns a list of the names of the classes composing this role. Returns an arrayref of strings. These strings must exist in composing classes, either as properties or methods. Returns an arrayref of role names that may not be composed with this role. When a role is defined, these methods are injected into the role's namespace Calls the above create()method with no arguments. This is used by the role composition mechanism to trigger autoloading the role's module when role names are given as strings in a class definition.

York Road tube station Template:More footnotes Template:For Template:Infobox Closed London station York Road tube station is a disused station on the London Underground. It opened on 15 December 1906 and was one of the original stations on the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway (GNP&BR), now the Piccadilly line. It is located between King's Cross St Pancras and Caledonian Road, and had its entrance at the corner of York Road (now York Way) and Bingfield Street; the surface buildings are still clearly visible, on the left heading south down York Way towards King's Cross. The former platform area below is also visible from passing trains in both directions, although part of the eastbound platform is bricked off. As with most other disused underground stations, the platform itself has been removed. As the site is currently used as an emergency exit from the tunnels, one of the passageways between the platforms is permanently lit by a series of lamps. Unlike most other GNP&BR stations, the lifts descended directly to platform level. The platform layout is almost identical to Caledonian Road (the next station to the north), but the two tracks form very gentle convex curves with respect to bases of the lift shafts between the tracks. Being in a poor industrial area, the station saw little use, and Sunday services were withdrawn from 5 May 1918. The station remained open for weekday traffic until 19 September 1932 when it closed permanently. thumb today if it had remained open (although the road above is now called York Way)]] The platform tiling was carried out by G. Woolliscroft & Sons of Hanley in Staffordshire, and was made up of white with maroon and brick red patterning. Most of the tiling has since been painted over in grey, but a small section remains untouched and can be seen at the Finsbury Park end of the former eastbound platform. A small signalling cabin stands near this section of tiling, and was used to operate a crossover immediately to the northeast of the station. This signal box remained operational until 25 April 1964, although by this time the crossover was little used, having been largely superseded by a new crossover built at King's Cross eight years previously. However the disused cabin still stands and can be seen by observant passengers on passing trains. One of London's largest redevelopment projects, King's Cross Central, began construction in 2008 across the road from the station. Islington Council and Transport for London commissioned a study in 2005 to consider the possible reopening of the station. At the same time, however, it was recognised that other transport priorities reduced the likelihood of such a project moving forward in the near future. The site will need extensive overhauls to bring to station up to modern day standards which was estimated to be £21 million in 2005. Local political groups have been keen to see the station reopened in order to reduce passenger congestion at King's Cross St Pancras and to encourage development in the surrounding community. The Islington Liberal Democrats advocated the reopening of the station in their 2006 local election manifesto, and at least one candidate for the Islington Conservative Party has similarly campaigned for the station to be reopened.<ref name="kxrlg">Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="bf">Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="ic">Template:Cite web</ref> Template:- In 2005 a business case was prepared to reopen the station, to serve the Kings Cross Central development and help relieve congestion at King's Cross St Pancras.<ref name="kce">Template:Cite web</ref> However, this scheme has not so far been taken forward.

"Pilate therefore went forth again and saith to them: Behold, I bring him forth unto you, that you may know that I find no cause in him. (Jesus therefore came forth, bearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment.) And he saith to them: Behold the Man. When the chief priests, therefore, and the servants had seen him, they cried out, saying: Crucify him, Crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Take him you, and crucify him: for I find no cause in him. The Jews answered him: We have a law; and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God." The irony Saint John the Apostle often includes in his Gospel is shown in this passage too. "Behold the Man" is true, but masks the ultimate truth of who is there on the balcony and why the Jews want him killed: behold your King, the son of God. By Antonio Ciseri (1821 – 1891) Swiss-Italian. Most of his work is of Bible or religious themes. In his painting, Pilate displays Jesus to the angry crowd. Pilate's wife turns away and cautions another woman as if to say, "This is nothing to be looked at. Do not become involved. He is the righteous one, not us." Pilate's wife had earlier warned him, ‘Have nothing to do with that righteous man. I suffered much in a dream today because of him.’” (Matthew 27:19). Tradition including Origen (one of the Greek Fathers of the Church) says that she was converted and became one of the earliest followers of Jesus Christ. The painting also shows Pilate's secretary, aids, and palace guards. "One of the more famous modern versions of the Ecce Homo [Behold the Man] motif was that by the Polish artist Adam Chmielowski, who went on to found, as Brother Albert, the Albertine Brothers (CSAPU) and, a year later, the Albertine Sisters (CSAPI). "Adam Chmielowski was proclaimed a saint on 12 November 1989 by Pope John Paul II. "Chmielowski's Ecce Homo painted between 1879 and 1881), was significant in Chmielowski's life, as it is in Act 1 of Wojtyla's play. "Pope John Paul II is said to have kept a copy of this painting in his apartment at the Vatican. "The original can be viewed in the Ecce Homo Sanctuary of the Albertine Sisters in Kraków." Source
