BkiUfY45qhLBxRsIgklU | Sharks have superpowers, one of which is the ability to detect electrical currents. Eric and his team have developed a special magnetic fish hook that they hope will repel sharks and prevent them from becoming by-catch.
Working as an organic chemist in a field dominated by marine biologists and fishery scientists has been an interesting journey for the past 12 years!
This project seeks to reduce accidental shark catch in a swordfish fishery by using an experimental fishing hook that is capable of repelling sharks, but not fish.
Unwanted catch, or by-catch, of sharks is a major problem in any longline fishery that uses hooks and is not targeting sharks. A fishing hook is not selective enough to catch a tuna or a swordfish in favour of a shark, therefore a need exists to repel sharks but not valuable fish.
The SMART Hook™ (Selective Magnetic and Repellent Treated) is the first hook technology available that selectively reduces shark catch without affecting target fish catch. Previous experiments with the SMART Hook™ using captive sharks demonstrated a 60% to 94% reduction in shark catch.
Experiments with captive adult bonnethead sharks at Key West (Florida) demonstrated about three times more unsuccessful feeding attempts on SMART Hooks™ compared to control hooks. Captive adult bonnethead shark experiments conducted at Aquaranch in Long Key, Florida, demonstrated approximately 16 times more unsuccessful feeding attempts on SMART Hooks™ compared to control hooks. Captive sub-adult lemon shark experiments conducted at Aquaranch in Long Key, Florida, demonstrated approximately 2.5 times more unsuccessful feeding attempts on SMART Hooks™ compared to control hooks. A preliminary collaborative study in the Gulf of Maine during June 2011 showed an increase in ground fish catch with a corresponding decrease in spiny dogfish catch.
Our SOSF project will deploy hundreds of plain circle hooks and SMART Hooks™ in a real commercial longline swordfishery. We will evaluate its performance based on shark catch and swordfish catch.
Fishermen using the SMART Hook™ are able to catch more fish and less sharks, and obtain less damage to their gear in exchange for a slightly more expensive hook. Increasing their target fish catch by even a few additional fish on hooks that would otherwise be occupied by sharks, offsets the additional expenses of purchasing SMART Hooks™. The SMART Hook™ could potentially provide fishery agencies throughout the world with a tool to assist shark conservation efforts while promoting sustainable fishing practices.
Fishing using explosives is severely destructive and illegal, but perpetrators are seldom prosecuted. Elizabeth is developing underwater listening devices that will alert rangers to the site of an explosion allowing them to catch bombers red-handed. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 5 |
BkiUdj45qhLACAkxBBVt | Le Great Debasement, ou grande dévaluation de la monnaie en circulation, a été opéré en 1543 en Angleterre, sous Henri VIII d'Angleterre, fondateur de l'Anglicanisme et qui a ordonné la confiscation des biens du clergé catholique.
La proportion d'argent que les pièces contenaient ayant été progressivement divisée par quatre en huit ans, pour tomber à seulement un quart en 1551, ce qui provoqua ensuite une vague d'inflation, la sortie d'Angleterre des pièces d'or, et la Crise monétaire anglaise des années 1550.
Le métal monétaire utilisé contenait 11 onces et deux fractions d'argent métal en 1543 pour 12 once de métal monétaire. En 1551, ce n'était plus 3 once d'argent pur, soit une dévaluation de 75 % environ.
L'arrivée au pouvoir en 1560 de la reine Élisabeth Ire d'Angleterre et de son ministre des finances Thomas Gresham se traduisit par un retour aux parités d'avant, dans l'espoir de juguler l'inflation et même de faire baisser les prix, qui « avaient doublé ou triplé en quelques années », selon l'historien Fernand Braudel.

BkiUg2TxK7IAEwOJKgr5 | My Mac went AWOL on me a few days ago and won't let me open more than one window at a time - the dock has completely disappeared! This means I can't write any posts that require some sort of research and don't want to take it to the scary big Apple store on Regents St as they will take my beloved laptop away from me for about a week.
But I won't let this post to go to waste - I've got some UK news. Between 22nd September - 19th October Marc Jacobs has transformed the traditional cabbies in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh into cute little daisy chains, adorning them with flowers to celebrate the first anniversary of his Daisy perfume. Inside tip seats will be decorated in daisy fields and smell of Daisy eau de parfum, aswell as lollipops given to each passenger awww! Now I just have to find an excuse to use a cab instead of my travelcard in that time period.

BkiUdOo5qoTA9Gqu2QfN | I love 7th Heaven! I remember watching it for numerous seasons, following the antics of the Camden family and how they dealt with issues within their family and with other members of their church and their community. I used to have the biggest crush on the oldest Camden son, Matt, and I remember how excited I was when Annie Camden became pregnant with the twins! I watched the first 10 seasons of 7th Heaven and I was a huge fan!
In the busyness of life, I never had a chance to watch the final season of 7th Heaven. By this point, Matt and his brother Simon were no longer in the series (their sister Mary was also never seen, though often talked about). The focus of the series continued to be Reverend Eric Camden (Stephen Collins), his wife Annie (Catherine Hicks) and the remaining Camden children, as well as a number of other characters (including Sandy, who is played by Haylie Duff) who had entered the lives of various family members. Because I'd never seen the final season, I was pretty excited at the opportunity to find out what I had missed!
I found the storylines compelling and engaging. I enjoyed watching the storyline develop surrounding Lucy (Beverley Mitchell) and Kevin (George Stults) and was touched when watching Lucy struggle to deal with a family tragedy. I loved seeing a grown-up Ruthie (Mackenzie Rosman) because I remember her as a little girl! The adventures of the Camdem family and their friends (from Eric's decision to homeschool the twins and the complicated relationship between Martin and Sandy) made me keep watching more! I also loved the inclusion of special guest stars, especially Jewel (I absolutely LOVE Jewel and had no idea that she appeared in an episode of 7th Heaven)!
I sat and watched the series with my six-year-old girl. I wasn't sure if she would like it but it turned out that she loved it! She asked a lot of questions (such as if there were other brothers and sisters and why different characters had issues) but she enjoyed the storylines and actually kept asking to watch more and more episodes! She really liked the Camdem twins (played by Lorenzo and Nikolas Brino) and Happy the dog! Not only did I enjoy the chance to watch the final season, but I loved being able to share it with her! She doesn't know it (so don't tell her!) but I am planning on getting the first season for her because I think she'll love watching the series from the very beginning!
Watching the final season of 7th Heaven reminded me how much I love this show and why it truly is a series for the whole family!

BkiUbdA5qsNCPdwhelwf | El Barcelona Sporting Club femenino es la sección femenina de su entidad matriz, el Barcelona Sporting Club, y tiene su sede en Guayaquil, Ecuador. Fue declarada oficialmente registrada el enero de 2019 con el objeto de la práctica y desarrollo de este deporte, y su participación en el campeonato ecuatoriano femenino de fútbol.
Participa en la Primera División desde 2019 la Súperliga Femenina de Ecuador y disputa sus partidos como local en el Complejo de los Samanes o en el Estadio Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo.
Historia
El 15 de agosto del 2018, el conjunto canario por medio de Carlos Alfaro Moreno, llegó a un acuerdo estratégico con el colegio Vicente Rocafuerte y con la Academia Joselyn Montaño, ambas entidades de Guayaquil. Así, el fútbol femenino de Barcelona va a estar liderado por dos grandes entrenadores. El profesor Orly Salas, que se encargaría de las categorías sub-12, sub-14 y sub-16; y la licenciada Joselyn Montaño a cargo de la sub-18 y mayores. El 13 de octubre de ese mismo año, en el Predio Deportivo de Parque Samanes del Barcelona, se convoca a 400 chicas para integrar el plantel amarillo de cara a la Súperliga. Para ello, se disputaron amistosos en lo restante del año y a inicios del 2019.
Barcelona Sporting Club Femenino se formó en 2019 en la presidencia de José Francisco Cevallos y ante la formación de la Súperliga Femenina de Ecuador, requisito impuesto por la CONMEBOL, su participación fue en primera categoría en la cual tuvo una destacada participación cayendo derrotado a manos del Deportivo Cuenca Femenino, quien terminaría siendo campeón en esa temporada.
Para la temporada 2020 el torneo se reformó debido a la pandemia del Covid-19, lo cual se armaron grupos regionales donde compartió grupo con Emelec y Guayaquil City del Guayas y Siete de Febrero de Los Ríos, Barcelona gana invicto el grupo con seis victorias en seis partidos, en los cuartos de final se cruzó de nuevo con el Emelec y lo derroto con un global de 2-1 clasificando a Semifinal el cual no pudo avanzar y fue derrotado por el equipo de Ñañas quien sería vicecampeón esa temporada.
En 2021 el sistema de campeonato volvió a reformarse ahora la primera fase estaba compuesta por 8 clubes de los cuales solo avanzaban cuatro equipos a los Cuartos de Final, tras una destacada participación donde terminó el grupo en segundo puesto detrás del Deportivo Cuenca (quien terminaría siendo campeón esta temporada), Barcelona enfrenta a Liga de Quito en los Cuartos de Final, las Guerreras Albas ganaron los dos partidos tanto en Quito como en Guayaquil, y Barcelona quedaría eliminado siendo la primera vez en quedarse en Cuartos de Final.

BkiUfojxK7kjXMEc_bOx | Cambridgeshire coronavirus: Urgent plea to help feed and support people in crisis
The Cambridgeshire Coronavirus Fund needs your help urgently to support people in need across Cambridgeshire
Simon MurfittContent editor
The Cambridgeshire Coronavirus Fund needs to raise £300,000 to help people in crisis
The Cambridgeshire Coronavirus Fund urgently needs your help for vital support - as we seek to raise £300,000.
The need to help vulnerable people is intensifies across the region, and a special fund created by Cambridgeshire Community Foundation (CCF) has been flooded with applications for funding from community groups.
The number of people contracting the virus is rising each day across Cambridgeshire, and the lockdown is affecting residents' ability to work and look after their families.
Cambridge News and CambridgeshireLive are media partners for the appeal, and asking all their readers to donate what they can.
An initial fundraising target has been increased to £300,000 as more and more people across the region are being left in desperate need.
It is anticipated that much more funding will be required as the effects of the epidemic continue to devastate families.
Already kind members of the public in Cambridgeshire have donated almost £10,000 via an online appeal.
On Thursday Cambridge Building Society and the Chadwyck-Healey Charitable Trust each donated £10,000.
Cambridgeshire County Council has donated £100,000 to the fund, and the National Emergencies Trust has committed £50,000.
We need your help to reach the new aim of £300,000 - but eventually more money is likely to be needed.
UPDATE: Almost £9,000 was donated over the weekend, and the total stands at just over £188,600.
Please donate what you can to the fund by visiting the donation page.
David Bartlett, editor-in-chief of Cambridge News and CambridgeshireLive, said: "I have been overwhelmed by the generosity of our readers, Cambridge Building Society, and Sir Charles and Lady Angela Chadwyck-Healey.
"However, we need much more funding for community groups to help Cambridgeshire come through the coronavirus crisis.
"I know the huge pressure this epidemic is putting on our communities, and I would appeal to everyone to donate whatever amount they can." | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUe3bxaKgQTovFR0ov | Forget about the fighting and shootouts kids are exposed to on TV and in the movies – new research suggests that violence is "contagious" among teens. The study warns that if your child has peers who get involved in physical altercations, they're much more likely to follow suit.
American scientists out of Ohio State University say that the kids they studied were up to 183 per cent more likely to carry out violent acts if one of their friends did the same.
"Violence is like a contagious disease that spreads through the social network," Dr. Brad Bushman, a psychology professor specializing in aggression and violence, told Global News.
"People learn how to behave the same way they learn other behaviours – by watching other people and imitating or modelling their behaviour," he explained.
Bushman collaborated with colleague Dr. Robert Bond, who focuses on studying social networks, for their research. The pair had interesting data – 6,000 interviews with high school students from 142 schools about their history with violence, along with other factors ranging from happiness to lifestyle and even smoking.
The study participants ranged from Grades 7 to 12, and they were interviewed twice over the course of a year.
They were also tasked with naming five male friends and five female friends within their social circles so the researchers could identify social networks within the schools.
They all answered three distinct questions: had they been in a serious fight, how often they hurt someone badly enough that they needed medical attention, and how often had they pulled a knife or gun on someone?
Kids were 48 per cent more likely to have been in a serious fight if a friend engaged in the same behaviour.They were 183 per cent more likely to have hurt someone badly enough to see a doctor or nurse if someone in their friend circle did, too.They were 140 per cent more likely to have pulled a weapon on someone if their friend had done the same.
"This analogy that violence is like a contagious disease that spreads from person to person is a powerful one," Bushman told Global News.
The effects even rippled into extended social networks. Kids were more likely to get into a fight or pull a weapon if friends of friends admitted to the same behaviours.
There were two degrees of separation between kids who hurt someone badly enough to get medical attention, for example.
"The effects weaken the further away. We knew youth are obviously influenced by friends, but we didn't know they're influenced by friends' friends, so it surprised us," Bushman said.
The findings were most prominent among boys, too. Girls were most likely to use "indirect forms" of aggression, such as spreading rumours or gossiping.
Bushman said the findings are the first to come from looking at violent behaviour and how it spreads among youth. Typically, research zeroes in on how mass media influences kids.
Bushman's hope is that ways to cut violence will spread, too. Kids should be taught non-aggressive ways of working out problems, such as negotiation or compromising, he said.
The team's full findings were published Tuesday in the American Journal of Public Health. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 4 |

BkiUdWQ5qU2Ap3wn7cWJ | Here are some more titanium and 7075 alloy parts for a Montessa that are going to H&D Racing in York. There's a front and rear wheel spindle in 7075 alloy coated for corrosion protection, then the swinging arm spindle, engine mounting and top shock bolts, and miscellaneous screws and top hat bushes in titanium.
These little screws and bolts are always fiddly and time consuming, the smallest ones are M4 for the carb tops. The carb bolts posed a problem, they are 270mm long so it would be impossible for me to turn them out of solid, but i managed to get hold of some 6mm dia bar and loctited a nut on the top after cutting the threads so they were tight anyway. The only problem with this is the cosmetics, you always get a ring on the face of the nut where the thread is.
Here's a couple of titanium bits for a Ducati, they are the steering head bearing sleeves and lamba sensor bosses. | c4 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUcS3xK6wB9mn4-JBx | We present you our press release by the results of January-November of 2011.
Sales of used passenger cars in Russia for January-November of 2011 decreased by 4% in compare with the analogous period of the previous year.
There are still nine models of LADA brand in the top ten leaders of used passenger cars brands by the results of January-November of 2011.
In November of 2011 the aftermarket showed the sales falling by 9%, so it was re-registered less by 35 290 cars in compare with the same period of 2010.
"There was a small decreasing of deals monthly in the aftermarket and it grew up to the total falling of 4% by the end of year. One of the features of this market is the stable decreasing of resale of domestic brands LADA, GAZ, UAZ, IZH, Moskvich, OKA in compare with the previous year. The decreasing of aftermarket of national cars is connected directly with the parc decreasing due to the scrappage recycling. Therewith, the older model of car, the higher decreasing by this model in the aftermarket, in particular, if the production was stopped (LADA-2106, 2105, 2104).
Used cars of foreign brands increase sale volumes in the aftermarket due to the parc growth. Therewith, the highest growth of market belongs to brands with growing quickly parcs". | c4 | 3 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

Dropbox has announced that it will expand its global private network by making its collaboration platform available on the Equinix Cloud Exchange Fabric and by launching six new points of presence across North America and Europe.
Vice President of Infrastructure at Dropbox, Akhil Gupta offered further insight on the company's expansion plan, saying:
"By rolling out network infrastructure across the globe over the last two years, we've improved performance and reliability for all of our users by allowing them to get more direct access to our data centers. The enhancements that we're announcing today will extend these benefits to even more users around the world."
Dropbox is expected to launch its new points-of-presence in Atlanta, Denver, Berlin and Toronto during the first half of 2018 with Stockholm and Oslo launching during the second half of the year. By the end of this year, the company's infrastructure footprint will span 29 facilities in 12 countries in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
Through additional infrastructure, Dropox will be able to reduce the number of ISPs user traffic has to travel through before reaching its data centres. This will help reduce latency and provider users with a more reliable experience when using the company's collaboration platform.
Dropbox will also allow users to peer with the company to gain access to fast, reliable bandwidth owned by the company. The company offers this service free of charge and already has thousands of peering partners worldwide.

BkiUbqfxK1UJ-rRH-46o | Obtaining accurate images of solute plumes in the subsurface is important to understand site-specific subsurface flow and transport processes. Since image reconstruction is an inverse problem, its ill-posed nature makes obtaining an accurate, high-resolution image difficult. Further, current geophysical methods for plume imaging do not take into account models of the specific process being targeted for imaging.
The main objective of the research is to find a suitable basis that gives a sparse representation of the plume. In future work, we seek to use this basis as a physical constraint during the inversion so as to increase accuracy in imaging. We use three different methods to find the best coefficients for the basis given the concentration values at sampled points in the domain.
We then compare these results to the current geo-statistical technique to estimate these values known as kriging. Kriging produced slightly better results for our simulation but we suspect that our multi-scale library l0 approach, which promotes sparsity, will outperform kriging as the heterogeneity of the subsurface increases.

BkiUdyQ5qhDBbAkZEwJ9 | From Franklin Carmichael's Snow Clouds (1927) to Annie Pootoogook's Hunter Mimic Seal (2006), this student-led exhibit presents museum-quality reproductions of iconic Canadian artworks.
Shifting Ground Lines gathers these diverse approaches to the Canadian landscape and poses questions about the nature of landscape. Is it "out there?" or specific to individual experiences? What is a landscape? Are some landscapes more "Canadian" than others? What is contained within the land, what lies beneath it, and beyond it?
These queries and more will be addressed by curator Brandon Coombs in a talk on September 26, 2018 at 7:30 p.m.. The exhibition's entire production team of Coombs, Beatrice Hammond, Sienna Suji Kim, Kyle West, and Jennifer Yacula will be on hand to further the conversation at the closing reception on October 19, 2018 at 5:30 p.m.

BkiUfn45qhLBsCDnQ7nF | Today I invited Irfan to go to Kiara for a mountain biking session. We reached Kiara park at 4:30pm and pushed our bikes up Rock Garden, and went uphill through the short Carnival shortcut towards the jogging road beside KLGCC. Pedalled uphill on tarmac for a minute or so, reached the first pump house, and entered the famed 4k trail. Here, is a fork. Taking a left turn would take us to the downhill wooden ramp, which we already conquered previously. To the right, is a trail which takes us past a small lake, a smaller wooden bridge, and God knows where because we didn't go pass the bridge before. The trail hasn't been used for some time due to most of the cyclists who are adults are busy working I suppose, so the overgrowth are quite annoying and it made the trail feel rather narrow.
There are alot of parts where pushing the bikes are required (slope too slippery). After some time, we reached a tall slope which led to a tarmac road. Went up the tarmac road to the famous T-junction where there is a pondok. Saw some mountain bikers there, about 8 of them. Half of them are using BH bikes while the rest has a Santa Cruz, a few GT and one or two Giants. The BH's and Santa Cruz went into the 2k trail first and we followed suit. The trail was quite easy to navigate through. The only drawbacks are a few gnarly roots, and some uphill switchbacks which are rather slippery thanks to the rainy season.
Today there are quite alot of joggers around, and bikers love joggers because we get to go faster than them. And also they act as obstacles to train on. Going downhill down a tarmac road at top gear, top speed, joggers are good for training on - they're like the orange cones in a driving academy. But unfortunately most of them know today is also the day alot of bikers come down so they like to go to the road shoulders instead. Bah, cowards! Eheh, I was just kidding on these part. But seriously, train going around people - try not to hit them!
Went down the Carnival and Rock Garden back to the Kiara park parking lot, where the BH's and Santa Cruz are cleaning their bikes at the bike wash. The Santa Cruz guy chit-chatted with us for a while. Then we left for Devi's Corner to quench our thirst. It started drizzling a little and we gave up our table to the BH riders - we're done drinking our Milo Ais, anyway.
Stopped by KSH, the mother of all bike shops in Taman Tun. Which is, coincidentally, the only bike shop in Taman Tun. Love those THE full-face helmets. Especially those One Composite series. Then we hit the roads again and back home. Reached my house at about 7:14pm. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUgKPxK7IAEwOJKC85 | Knowing and doing. It's the greatest tension in all of us.
So, why don't we "do" better? Why is it that smart/talented/experienced people execute poorly?
We want to blame things like politics, laziness, etc. Frankly, those are the outcomes of the issues at hand. They are not the root causes.
I know there are the usual suspects.
Lack of clarity: the expectations for what success looks like are not clear. Many of us don't have solidly defined goals with clear metrics and detailed, thoughtful requirements. Instead, we define a "hope" to be achieved (or worse, just a metric).
But why are the lack of clarity and the lack of empowerment running so rampantly today? I mean, we already KNOW that they are important/vital.
Is stress overtaking smarts, talents, and experience and blocking clarity/empowerment? People are stressed, and stress causes poor decision-making and shutting down. Have we reached a point where stress is literally running the show?
Do people recognize when to shift from influencing the situation to adapting to it? And vice versa? Stress is inevitable. How we deal with it, therefore, is critical. If we can't influence the situation, we must adapt to it. Do people even know the difference between these healthy choices – and can clarity/empowerment be affected by them?
When it comes to helping our clients, team mates, family, and friends, I suggest using these questions to identify how we can do something to improve the situation and enable better, healthier action.
When it comes to personal application, I'm running through all of these questions to see what blocks me from doing my best in every part of my life that I see sub-optimal performance. I literally replace "people" and insert me.
Is stress overtaking my smarts, talents, and experience and blocking clarity/empowerment?
Do I recognize when to shift from influencing the situation to adapting to it? And vice versa? And can clarity/empowerment be affected by them?
Am I giving myself the freedom to adapt and influence – or am I expecting myself to "control" 100% of the time?
What are these questions telling you? | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUdxc4eIXh4qTE52c_ | NEW YORK- After months of protracted negotiations over the national debt ceiling that brought the US to the brink of default and given the fact that the economy is weakening, Americans are running out of patience with political leaders, according to a Bloomberg National Poll released on Wednesday. 72 per cent say the country is on the wrong track. A majority says it will take at least six more years for home values in their community to recover to pre-recession levels and only 9 percent of people say they are confident the economy won't slide back into recession.
The biggest concerns are unemployment and jobs, cited by 46 percent of Americans, ranking ahead of the combination of the deficit and government spending at 30 percent.
In order to spur hiring and revive a stalled economy, US President Obama has proposed a $447 billion package of tax cuts and spending measures -although it could never completely materialize if the Republicans block it.
Obama has said that Washington is "deeply engaged" with European nations on solving the eurozone crisis but that ultimately large countries in Europe need to come together to decide how to solve it.
But for the head of the World Bank, Robert Zoellick, Eurozone countries are to blame for debt crisis… and so is the US for soaring budget deficits.
"Unless Europe, Japan and the United States can … face up to responsibilities, they will drag down not only themselves but the global economy", he said in a speech at George Washington University on Wednesday, one week before the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.
Have the US procrastinated for too long to take decisions? For Zoellick, the answer is yes.
"It is not responsible for the United States to falter in facing fundamental issues such as unsustainable growth in entitlement spending, the need for a pro-growth tax system and a stalled trade policy".

BkiUeIg4eIOjRwCobi0P | Wait ! Wait! Wait! Before you read on, please commit to reading the entire blog. Just so you're aware, I am going to be brutally honest, truthful, and direct. Yes I know it can be hurtful but I promise you the pain is necessary to grow. Are you ready? Jetset, GO!
Let me start by saying congratulations on making it to the second paragraph! You are a real one. You obviously are one of very few who face the truth rather than run from it. I have a saying in life, " Truth is the first step of progression". Now you don't have to believe everything you are reading.
I would not expect you to, but what I will ask is to consider it.
The reality is millions of people have amazing, creative, and meaningful ideas. I mean ideas that would positively contribute and shake the world.
The ugly truth is only a small percentage of people will EXECUTE. This small percentage of people aren't necessarily the smartest, most skilled, or talented. In fact some of the small percentage didn't graduate from college or high school. But what makes them different?
Why are they able to create, produce, and execute in life?
The answer is simple! But you probably wouldn't believe me if I shared it.
By the end of this blog I can guarantee one thing. Apply this principle and change your life. It is that simple.
Please do not complicate this, just absorb and apply. Trust me on this one!
The most influential and successful people in the world FOCUS only on what they can control. Seriously! They do not let people or any circumstance throw them off of their game. Successful people accept they can't control what happens to them. Life is full of challenges, obstacles, and adversities. These are the times in our lives when our character is born. Remember that anytime you feel pain, you are growing. Growth in life often comes from continuing to execute during the most difficult times in life. But it means absolutely nothing if you don't learn where to shift your FOCUS.
The reality is the majority of people shift their focus towards things they can't control. That is a recipe for inconsistency, chaos, and regression. Everybody can be a great starter, but only a few can follow through and execute. It has nothing to do with your abilities, skills, or talents. It is one-hundred percent your ability to focus on what you can control. Once this happens, it becomes clear we control way more than we think. For instance we are in control of what determines every outcome in our lives. We are in control of how we respond to every situation, circumstance, challenge, or adversity. Enough with the excuses, stories, and every reason you give yourself for not creating the life you desire. Focus on only what you can control.
I would like to challenge you to shift your FOCUS. Concentrate on only the things which are in your control. If you don't know where to start, simply start with you. Every person is in full control and responsible for everything that happens in your life. Now is the time to accept full responsibility and appreciate it. Remember that your ability to execute and progress depends on where you focus energy. Now you are aware so the next time you are angry, stressed, frustrated, or emotional ask yourself, "Am I in control?". If the answer is no, drop it and let it go. If it is in your control don't spend energy crying about it. Throw all of your energy toward creating and producing whatever is needed to improve it. You are in full control of your life, take control! Ready, JETSET, GO!

I ordered the Red Sox T-shirt, that has front and back printing, to replace the one I bought 5 years ago (at a Hallmark store; they had ordered it from Liquid Blue), which I loved.

BkiUgFXxK7IDBqEWV3tK | Zimbabwe to Clear $1.7b Debt
Zimbabwe expects to make up for all its debt arrears of $1.7 billion to major international lenders by September and could return to international capital markets thereafter, the Reserve Bank deputy governor said, Bulawayo24 reported. Once one of Africa's most promising economies, Zimbabwe suffered decades of decline under former president Robert Mugabe and has been shut out of international capital markets since it began defaulting on its external debt in 1999. In 2016, Zimbabwe paid off 15 years' worth of arrears to the International Monetary Fund. It is still years behind on payments to the World Bank and African Development Bank, however, hampering its ability to tap development financing from the two. "The ball is in our court, it is not with the IMF or the World Bank or the African Development Bank," Khupikile Mlambo, deputy governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, said in an interview on the sidelines of a London investment summit. Zimbabwe was working on the Lima plan—a payment plan agreed with foreign lenders in 2015 in the Peruvian capital. "We are on course for September for sure to repay," Mlambo said.

BkiUetPxK4sA-9F9l2mF | PAROCHIAL SCHOOL DEBATE EXPLODES
Home/Catalyst/Features/PAROCHIAL SCHOOL DEBATE EXPLODES
The debate over public funds for parochial schools exploded at the end of 1999 when the courts addressed the issue forthrightly.
The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in December in what may be a landmark decision. The case, Mitchell v. Helms, involves the question of whether the Constitution permits the use of public money to put computers and other "instructional equipment" in parochial school classrooms.
The case reached the Supreme Court via an appeal by a group of parochial school parents in Louisiana who, along with the Clinton administration, protested a federal appeals court ruling in 1998 that barred using federal money for anything other than textbooks in parochial schools.
Interestingly, one of those in the lawsuit who contends that Catholic schools should not receive any federal assistance is a Catholic, Marie Schneider. She sent the first of her seven children to a Catholic school but eventually enrolled all her children in public schools. Schneider, whose brother is a priest, had this to say of her decision: "I fell in love with the public schools. What I found in public schools that I did not find in parochial schools was a genuine attempt to educate all children. There was no selectivity or elitism."
Schneider's love for public schools, however, does not adequately explain her activism. Many parents, for instance, prefer public schools to parochial schools, yet few find it necessary to hire lawyers to stop Catholic schools from getting computers with public funds. No, there is something else at work here and that is why the Catholic League filed an amicus brief in this case defending the parochial schools. A U.S. Supreme Court ruling is expected in the spring.
On December 13, the U.S. Supreme Court let stand a ruling by the Vermont Supreme Court, made in November, that prohibited state-tuition payments for children attending religious schools; state subsidies to private non-sectarian schools were declared constitutional. The Catholic League, which protested the decision, couldn't help but notice that the same Vermont court said on December 20 that gay couples were entitled to the same benefits and protections as married couples.
The league's news release read as follows: "In the eyes of the Vermont State Court judges, the faithful must pay for homosexuals to get the same benefits as a married couple, even though doing so means having to subsidize expressly immoral behavior that compromises their sincerely-held religious beliefs. In addition, they must pay for public schools that they cannot support in principle and are entitled to zero relief for electing to send their children to religious schools of their choice. Welcome to Vermont."
In a closely-watched case, a voucher program in Cleveland was struck down by Judge Solomon Oliver Jr. It was he who previously blocked any new students from entering the Cleveland voucher program until a final judgment on the case was reached; on December 20, he finished the job by declaring the entire program unconstitutional. As he did before, Judge Oliver criticized the program because it allegedly had "the effect of advancing religion through government-sponsored religious indoctrination."
It is hard to resist the conclusion that this decision, like so many others in this area, was motivated by an anti-Catholic animus. Our position, which is shared by Robert Bork, rests on Judge Oliver's continued reference to the Catholic schools. His objections centered less on the concept of school choice than on the expressed choice of Cleveland's parents: they overwhelmingly preferred Catholic schools.
It is not without significance that Judge Oliver previously served on the board of directors of the NAACP. The NAACP not only opposes vouchers, it formed a coalition with People for the American Way two years ago that provides joint resources for its war on school choice. The ultimate losers, of course, are the poor African American children whom both organizations claim to defend.
Joining the fray is the Akron Beacon Journal. The Ohio newspaper distinguished itself in December by writing some viciously anti-Catholic propaganda on the subject. It even went so far as to say that the Cleveland program has "become a subsidy to the Roman Catholic Church." It would be more accurate to say, we pointed out, that public schools are currently being subsidized by Catholic parents who send their kids to Catholic schools but must nonetheless pay for a service they don't want.
Finally, as the year ended, Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke before a group of New York's Orthodox Jewish leaders and told them that while she opposes vouchers, she would back certain "constitutionally correct" ways for government to give tax credits to parents of parochial school students.
On December 17, William Donohue wrote to the New York senatorial candidate asking her to be more specific. That same day, her spokesman, Howard Wolfson, explained that this was not her position.

BkiUdt_xK6nrxjHzB-eg | Norway's trillion-dollar sovereign wealth fund will sell its stakes in oil and gas explorers and producers but still invest in energy firms that have refineries and other downstream activities, according to a government plan for the Government Pension Fund Global published on March 8.
The state, which has built up its wealth on the back of North Sea oil and gas reserves, also has no plans to sell its direct stake in Norway's Equinor.
Energy stocks represented 5.9 percent of the fund's equity investments at the end of 2018 and were worth about $37 billion, fund data showed. But much of that amount is invested in integrated firms rather than smaller, dedicated explorers and producers. The new plan will affect 134 companies with an aggregate market value of about 70 billion Norwegian crowns ($8 billion).
Parliament, which still needs to approve the proposal, is expected to the back the plan as the ruling centre-right coalition has a majority in the assembly. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdVTxK7IABLfxIIcB | Looking for a way to motivate or incentivize employees to meet a goal or objective? Whether it's sales, productivity, service, quality, teamwork, or just a change in behavior, incentive programs can be an effective tool to meet your organization's needs and objectives. Here are the most important elements of an incentive program.
Clarify the objective of the incentive program.
What is the purpose of providing the incentive? Will it be designed to improve the productivity of your production staff, increase sales, improve customer service, and enhance management? Usually, the objective of an incentive plan is tied to meeting some organizational or departmental goal or objective or motivating/changing a specific behavior. This may be general or specific to a certain work group or department.
Define the type of incentive you will provide and make sure that it aligns with the objective. Individual incentives should be tied to individual goals and performance, team incentives should be tied to team goals and performance, and so on. Also, will it be offered in addition to a salary increase or instead of one, and will it be considered part of the total compensation package? Below are three (3) types of incentives to consider.
Create a measure for the incentive.
Having a clear objective will make measurement easy. Measurement could be as simple as determining whether the goal was achieved or not achieved. You may also weight what percent of an objective was met (i.e. 75% of goal achieved or 110% of goal achieved). One key question your organization will need to consider is if you will payout for not reaching goals completely or if you will payout extra for exceeding goals.
Determine who is eligible to receive the incentive.
If the objective of the incentive plan is specific to a certain work group or department, eligibility should be constrained to only employees in those areas. If the objective is general, eligibility may be widespread, applicable to nearly all of the workforce. We find that incentive plans typically follow one of these two tracks.
Establish the size of the incentive.
This is, first and foremost, dependent on what your organization can afford to pay – which may vary from year to year and depend on cash flow, revenue, and profitability. The size of the reward may be a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of salary. On average, we find that variable pay costs account for 3% of revenue (variable compensation divided by total revenue) – compared to compensation costs which typically account for 25% of revenue. Below are average target percentages, maximum threshold percentages, and percentages of total cash pay that incentive/bonus pay represents.
Identify the form of payment.
Some incentive/bonus payments are paid out in lump sums annually, while others may be distributed across paychecks throughout the year. Annually is by far the most common frequency of payout, but quarterly is a close second. Monthly and semi-annual payments are extremely rare.
Incentive programs can be effective in promoting the behavior and results we want in our organizations, but in order to do that, they need to constructed effectively. This starts with clearly identifying the objective of the program and then aligning all of its pieces and parts (type, work groups eligible, size, form of payment, etc.) with that purpose.
Benchmark your organization's pay adjustment and incentive plan practices with our ERC Wage & Salary Adjustment Survey. For more information about this survey (including pricing information), please click here.

BkiUbQXxK6EuNCwytc8u | congratulations Emmanuelle for being chosen this month's Peacemaker!
Every month, a student is chosen to be the class "peacemaker" (sort of like a kinder's version of 'student of the month'). They exude exemplary behavior and are treated to a peacemaker breakfast and picture taking. Today is her breakfast, so she pleaded with me if she could wear a dress, so we met in the middle and allowed her to wear a dress that is both pretty and conducive for playing. She's been waiting for this breakfast since last month. Almost distraught, and slightly in tears, she worried that because the breakfast wasn't weeks ago when they gave her the title, she wasn't a real peacemaker. Thankfully, her teacher assured her that they haven't had the breakfast yet, so she's been eagerly waiting.
Today's the day. Enjoy it our love! You deserve it. I know how much you care about your classmates and love getting along with everyone. Congratulations on your achievement. I know it means a lot to you, and this is one goal that you have gone out to get by yourself. We're very proud of you.
ps. it would be great it you could be the peacemaker between you and your little sister…esp. when you two are fighting. I'm willing to negotiate a 'peacemaker' breakfast myself. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Helios and The Planets 2020
11th May 2020 /in Uncategorised /by admin
The first release of the year is out of the box!
Spectacular symphonic music, played on two classical accordions.
The Danish classical accordion duo MYTHOS with their unrivalled instruments offer their own impressive transcriptions of two iconic early-20th century orchestral portraits of heavenly objects, namely Nielsen's Helios overture (1903) and Holst's The Planets (1916).
First, the sun on its course from dawn to dusk, as we follow it from Earth on a daily basis, and then the seven planets out there in space, each with a marked character of its own as imagined by astrologers from times immemorial.
Riveting music, played with force and finesse. Lend an ear, and enjoy!
Svend Ravnkilde, 2020
Helios and The Planets is MYTHOS' second album and the follow up on the release 'Russian Orchestral Music' with music by Stravinsky, Borodin, Mussorgsky and Tchaikovsky (Orchid Classics, 2013). The album surprised both listeners and critics and was awarded the BBC Music Magazine Chamber Choice and Best of 2013 by Graham Rickson from The Arts Desk, https://theartsdesk.com as well as a nomination for Album of the Year on Danish Classical Radio P2.
MYTHOS comprises Bjarke Mogensen and Rasmus Schjærff Kjøller. Both were born and raised on the Island of Bornholm from where the coverphoto is taken.

Export trade statistics are compiled by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) from copies of export declarations filed with the Bureau of Customs (BOC) by exporters or their authorized representatives as required by law. PSA collects a copy of the accomplished form Export Declaration (ED – DTI form). Aside from the hard copy of the ED, the output of the Automated Export Documentation System (AEDS) is being utilized to generate export statistics. AEDS is a paperless transaction in lieu of the manual filling-up of export documents. The digitized copy of the AEDS is provided by BOC and PEZA to PSA on a monthly basis through email.
All documents (hard copies and e-files) received before the cut-off date which is every 25th day of the month are compiled, processed and generated in a monthly statistical tables for the preparation of Press Release. All documents received after the cut-off date, however, are processed and included in the generation of the revised statistical tables. Processing includes coding, editing, review and validation. Revised statistical tables are made available 10 to 15 working days after the press release date.
The Press Release is due every 10th day of each month. However, if the 10th day falls on a Saturday, release will be on Friday but if it falls on a Sunday or Monday the release will be on Tuesday. If the release date falls on holiday, the date of release is moved accordingly.
The 2004 Philippine Standard Commodity Classification (PSCC) is used to classify the imported commodities at the most detailed level for statistical purposes.

BkiUavLxK0zjCxh70_6d | I think it may be difficult as you seem to be melting….Very funny!
Your mention of the Baroque triggered "Rococo" in my brain and suddenly I am sailing up in the air like the shoe of the woman in Fraggonard's painting "The Swing"! And you, lurker behind the non-chopsticks, you are the man hidden in the bushes in that same painting, behind the woman (your great-aunt) sailing above the timberline. Chopstick-timberline.
may you also continue to delight and astound!
disturbing, derrick. pain on my stomach.
Hi D. The darkest one i think and the most creative is third. A lot may be said and more you've said already.
Third is like many mirrors wich draws you trough total unsymmetry. Sound is breaking. Silence makes you listen to your own sound.
Understanding that you going mad is past, far away. Things that scares you- smiling with you trough the daylight, but no one see it… it is in it's own condition, waived up on bend's in monotonous cycling.
Sound of basketball game on rewind vs. breaking trees on the wind.
Screaming human in empty petrol tank gone with under borderline case.
I've looked at this quite a few times now…it's really impressive. It scares me and conjures up feelings of anxiety toward growing old. I am not a poet, but you are, my friend…for certain. Great work.
sylvia: swollen lingo — it is always existent. your natural selection of words always an appealing, chemical-free imaginatory escape. thank you as always!
tom: glad you dig it!
ann: your words are always appreciated! thanks, thanks, thanks.
lou: yes, it will all become troughing and threadful, dependable-dloplis (i just made that up) and the oitful-liotuous (yes, i made that up also) will deciduously spank my brain's bum. loving your kindness and words! thanks always!
john: i wouldn't hold your breath! 😉 thank you for the comments, my friend!
jou: i certainly that "pain" of yours has drastically diminished! no, wait. i hope that pain has completely faded by now, because i wouldn't want you having a belly ache over a silly photograph! 😉 …thank you for the comments!
grace: your words always reverberate deeply within. thank you, always!
silverstar: …it's just 'your' imagination (once again)…runnin' away with 'you'…oh, it's just your imagination!
cept id: in-depth fists of text, always a flood of appreciation! silence is golden, often feeding my 'realm of color', the tension for a single needle-dropped audible releasing more than a dribble. no wonder i am a fan of John Cage! recently bought Variations IV, which one excerpt consists of recordings of him on-stage slicing carrots. always a treat! and, one can't deny the glory of 4'33". anyhow, thank YOU for the visit as well! continue to fill the hourglass, my friend.
i am chisel'd to a pulp.
either that, or i am the chopsticks.
Kvenlegur maður , Þakka þú. Þinn góðvild er oft langt og loka eins og heilbrigður! ÉG ást þinn notkun af Íslenska einnig! Hvernig ráðabrugg!
How did you talk her into doing this incredible collaboration?
Is your extended family in on this too?
ansel: i have to admit that she had absolutely no idea that i was taking a photograph of her. for one, she is "mentally challenged" but such a fun-loving and innocently kind person. she always means well. 85 years old. in fact, she is so in-tune that she often chases me with her cane (believe it or not) while i film her while my uncle is somewhere in the vicinity banging on pots and pans. weird? you betcha! …no one else was involved here. it was actually one of those "spurt of the moment" deals where i was messing around my spoon in-waiting for my soup to finish cooking. i couldn't help myself, and even though the camera was pointing in front of her, she basically "ignored" it the entire time, not even realizing i was creating experimentations with her portrait.
fantastisk.. it's like your forcing the essence of these strange utensils back to the state of mere idea from which they once arose..
good call on the icelandic. you been studying?
This is a superb little series – the detail when viewed large is wonderful.
This is my favourite of the three. I love the shadow in her face and indeed the overflowing bowl. Creepy but sad but meaningful and rich. Wonderfully done!
Does this remind anyone else of Dr Zoidberg?
yeaah i must say its VERY creepy .. love the description and ur point of view of how things are.. and i seriously enjoy ur creativity .. keep em comin!
You have a fascinating photostream. It is sometimes unsettling and sometimes haunting… but really brilliant and captivating all the way around. Great work!

BkiUffXxK0zjCsHec386 | When the urns containing human skeletons were discovered in Adichanallur in Tamil Nadu, they were initially dated to 800 BC. Now one of the urns has been dated to 500 BC and what makes this interesting is the script which was present in the urn.
The claim on the date of the script and the assertion that it is in Tamil-Brahmi will be subjected to the scrutiny of scholars in the field.
The term `Tamil-Brahmi' is used when the script is in Brahmi but the language is Tamil. The Brahmi script was predominantly used for Prakrit from the Mauryan (Asokan) period. The Brahmi script was brought to the Tamil country in the third century B.C. by the Jain and Buddhist monks during the post-Asokan period.
your deductive logic is 'astounding'. If the age of the writing in the urn is proved 500 B.C it will only mean that it is wrong to call it anymore as 'Tamil Brahmi' and should be called 'Tamil' script meaning—the script travelled from south to north and not vice-versa as assumed till now for 'mysterious' reasons. There is no inscription before 3rd century B.C in north india and inscriptions in Tamil also are found from the same period.
Antony, if today, I write Tamil in Devanagiri script, what will you call it? Tamil script or Tamil Devanagiri?. It has nothing to do with date.
I am sorry! I was not aware that you had no idea about the controversy surrounding this 'script' issue between North Indian scholars and Tamil scholars. When they say Tamil-brahmi they imply brahmi is the original and Tamil-brahmi is derived from it. Tamil script has no particular name and it was known as Tamil script only, whereas Oriental scholars assigned the name 'brahmi' to the script of asokan inscriptions. Probably they assigned the name brahmi because they thought asokan inscriptions are the oldest writings and from that script only all scripts have been derived…as everything comes from 'brahma' they named it brahmi. But then when they came across Tamil written in a script somewhat different from that but around the same period they called it Tamil-brahmi meaning that brahmi script borrowed and adapted for Tamil. The above finding proves brahmi is derived from tamil-brahmi which makes the very name 'Tamil-Brahmi' counter-intuitive. So it is better to get rid of the the term 'Tamil-brahmi' script and use only Tamil script to refer. Now one can say Brahmi script was created by borrowing and adapting Tamil script for writing Prakrit during the time of Asoka through Buddhists and Jainists.
antony, i. mahadevan is a tamil scholar. he uses the term tamil-brahmi (http://is.gd/iNId).
Yes, I agree. Iravatham Mahadevan is using the term 'Tamil-Brahmi' because he believes that Tamil script in 3rd B.C itself is derived from Asokan Brahmi. I say he believes because it is just a hypothesis. There is no concrete historical evidence to prove this theory. In spite of scholars like Gift Siromoney's strong arguments to the contrary, people who uncritically accept and work within the confines of established mainstream Indian scholars are refusing to examine any view point to the contrary. In such a scenario if it is proved that there are inscriptions available in what is called 'Tamil-brahmi' prior to 3rd B.C they will have no other go than accepting the fact that brahmi script was derived from Tamil script and the term term 'Tamil-Brahmi' is illogical. The genealogy is as follows: Tamil script was developed independently as an alternative for complex Indus scripts some time between 1000B.C and 500 B.C in the Tamil country. You may ask what is the proof for this. I would like to point out the recent discovery at Sembiyan-Kandiyur(http://www.orientalthane.com/archaeology/news_2007_04_02_2.htm) where Harappan signs were found on a stone axe in Tamil Nadu. And also the occurrence of the Muruku symbol in Tamil region continuously even long after Indus valley became history. If you connect all the dots i.e. 5th century B.C Tamil-brahmi inscription-Sembiyan Kandiyur-Indus Script, a form of Dravidian language–they all point to only one thing. But alas! the short-sighted and parochial Indian intellectual class is so obsessed and obstinate with their gangetic-sanskritic centred view of subcontinental history, they feel insecure that any fact that would be contrary to these hypotheses is actually a threat to "national unity" and "integrity of India". After all, nationalism is the last resort of all criminals–scholars are no exception". Under the weight of this mindless pseudo-nationalism, at least 15 languages that are more than 1000-1500 years old are in the verge of extinction very soon. If they update Indian history to at least reflect 10% of these facts our Telugu, and Kannada brothers would not have childishly demanded classical language status just because Tamil was accorded the status. The competitive jealousy that has been fuelled in these states against Tamil has already taken a heavy toll in the form of Cauvery dispute endangering the country's unity. | c4 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 5 |

BkiUdZk5i7PA9MKgaXLY | Arsenio Hall Sues Sinead O'Connor Over Claims He Supplied Prince with Drugs
Music | By Shane Barnes | May 5, 2016
This is a story that seems decades out of time: Sinead O'Connor, who famously worked with Prince on "Nothing Compares 2U," is being threatened with a lawsuit by entertainer Arsenio Hall over claims O'Connor made earlier this week that alleged Hall had supplied Prince with the drugs that may have led to his death. Hall had not responded initially, but now he has — definitively.
Hall has filed a $5 million defamation suit against O'Connor, which may seem drastic, but, also, might be appropriate, because the allegations she's very haphazardly brought against him are little more than hearsay and also very, very serious. In the suit, as reported by TMZ, he also says that he hasn't seen O'Connor in 25 years.
For what it's worth, Hall also claimed that O'Connor and Prince had a contentious, barely-there relationship, which is supported by an interview O'Connor did back in 2014, in which she said:
"He summoned me to his house after 'Nothing Compares'. I made it without him. I'd never met him. He summoned me to his house – and it's foolish to do this to an Irish woman – he said he didn't like me saying bad words in interviews. So I told him to f*** off."
O'Connor's original Facebook message read:
Two words for the DEA investigating where prince got his drugs over the decades…. Arsenio Hall (AKA Prince's and Eddie Murphy's bitch) Anyone imagining prince was not a long time hard drug user is living in cloud cuckoo land. Arsenio I've reported you to the Carver County [sic] Sherrif's office. Expect their call. They are aware you spiked me years ago at Eddie murphy's house. You best get tidying your man cave.

Maybe you just started learning SQL. Maybe you already have some experience. Whatever your situation is, choosing the right IDE for you is another step in your development.
Why IDE?
IDE stands for integrated development environment. It is a software application that enables us to combine various aspects of writing a computer program. An IDE usually contains a source code editor, build automation tools, and a debugger.
You might ask why you need an IDE when you have the command line available on your computer. Writing queries in the command line vs. using an IDE is a hot topic of discussion in the developer community.
Many of you probably started with the command line. You could handle everything with SQL that way, but when you start to work with big databases, things can get difficult.
Today, you can learn whenever you want from the comfort of your own home, and you can choose from a vast array of SQL courses to get a strong foundation. As we always say, you need to practice SQL, so a practice set of online SQL activities provides great opportunities to develop your learning routines. You can even learn how to work with open-source database systems. You can eventually become an SQL expert even if you are a beginner right now. And when you start to work on your own SQL projects, an editor might be useful. Or you might need an IDE when you have to collect and analyze data at work.
There are many editors available out there. But which one is the best SQL IDE for you? We've made a list of the most common and trusted SQL IDEs of 2021. You can then choose one for yourself.

New policies regarding LGBTQIA+ rights have been in the news recently, and the potential impact could be far-reaching — much of it directly affecting transgender and nonbinary youth.
According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), almost 2% of high school students identify as transgender, and of those 27% felt unsafe at school, 35% had been bullied at school, and 35% had attempted suicide in the past year.
One way to support transgender youth and improve outcomes for their mental health and overall well-being is by providing gender-affirming care, says Dr. Jane Chang, an associate attending pediatrician at NewYork-Presbyterian Komansky Children's Hospital and associate professor of clinical pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medicine.
Dr. Jane Chang
"Gender-affirming care, at its most basic level, is about validating and supporting children and loving them for who they are as they explore their gender identity," says Dr. Chang, who specializes in adolescent medicine.
Dr. Chang, who is also medical director of NewYork-Presbyterian's Compass Program, a comprehensive program for transgender and nonbinary children and adolescents enrolled in Medicaid, shared with Health Matters what people should know about gender-affirming care for youth.
Gender-affirming care is backed by major medical organizations.
Gender-affirming care for transgender youth is supported by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, the American Psychological Association, and the American Medical Association.
The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) provides detailed guidelines for gender-affirming care through their Standards of Care. "Patients under the age of 18 who are seeking medical intervention will need parental consent," says Dr. Chang. "If they do start medical interventions, such as hormones, they are followed carefully by a pediatric endocrinologist. A comprehensive gender-affirming program, such as Compass, provides families with access to a team that includes a pediatrician, endocrinologist, mental health professional, and social worker.
"Gender-affirming care is evidence-based and done in a developmentally appropriate manner as we give patients and families the space to express the youth's individual gender experience and journey," says Dr. Chang.
Gender affirmation leads to better outcomes.
Adolescents who identify as transgender or gender-diverse have higher rates of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self-harm, and suicide. A 2021 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health conducted by The Trevor Project reported that 52% of transgender and nonbinary youth seriously considered suicide in the past year, and 20% attempted suicide in the past year. For cisgender youth (whose personal and gender identity correspond with their sex assigned at birth) among this group, those numbers were 32% and 10%, respectively.
"Data also supports that transgender and gender-diverse youth have better mental health outcomes when they have the support of their family, including the use of their chosen name and pronouns at home," says Dr. Chang. "We always tell families we cannot predict the future, but we know that data and research show that children who are supported by their families and affirmed in their gender identity have better outcomes in terms of depression, anxiety, suicide."
Dr. Chang stresses the importance of providing support and guidance during social transitions.
That support can come in many areas and can greatly impact mental health. Her team will reach out to schools on behalf of their patients if there are issues regarding access to gender-neutral bathrooms or locker rooms, or help families understand pronoun use and expand their vocabulary. "For social transition, sometimes it will be about cutting their hair or dressing a certain way," she says. "Other patients may have questions about chest binding or puberty suppression, which is not the same as hormones. These are all reversible things that can really support the adolescent and make them feel a lot better."
"Gender-affirming care, at its most basic level, is about validating and supporting children and loving them for who they are as they explore their gender identity."
— Dr. Jane Chang
It's a team-based approach that involves the family.
Providers of gender-affirming care don't just work with the patient, but with the entire family. "It's really a triad of decision-making when we work with children and adolescents," says Dr. Chang. "Our team of providers works with patients and their families as we present options and help facilitate conversations."
Dr. Chang is mindful about hearing all the concerns and questions family members have, which aren't always the same as patients' concerns. For example, "The young patients are less worried about fertility, but the parents are often wondering about fertility. And when the patients want hormones, the families understandably have many questions," she says.
As patients get older and may become interested in learning about further transition options, it becomes an ongoing group conversation between the parents, the adolescent, and the entire care team. "A lot of their questions are around fear of the unknown, questions around what's reversible and what's not, and fear of how their children will be perceived," she says. "We always say it's a journey for the patient, but it's also a journey for the parent. We're here to answer those questions, and to work with children and their families so that we can help support and improve outcomes for their health and well-being."
The heart of gender-affirming care is providing support.
For young patients, Dr. Chang stresses that gender-affirming care is about following the child's lead and evolution in their gender identity. That includes ongoing conversations and constant learning.
"People may assume that gender care means that you're going to do surgery, or you're going to put them on hormones. While that might be part of it, that's really not the focus," says Dr. Chang. "It's a lot of continual checking in and seeing where the child is on their journey. It's about love and support and affirmation."

BkiUdmc5qsFAf8zx018g | I'm not just an editor; I'm also an author who has an invisible disability, a dyslexia when typing that is so severe that the only way I could become a writer is if I had dictation software, because something is not wired right between my brain and my fingers. My mother had and one of my sons has very visible disabilities: my mother had an inability to walk and one of my sons has a messed up left arm. Neither of them let their unique challenges stop them.
So when I was offered the opportunity to read and comment on a short story anthology that highlighted disabled protagonists, I leapt at the chance. I think it's exciting that our society is no longer ignoring those who have disabilities and beginning to celebrate them as the heroes they are. To me at least, anyone facing a disability with grace and courage deserves extra respect because they're not only vanquishing the usual dragons we all have to slay; they also have to vanquish their own personal challenges before they even get to the dragons that we all must face.
Everyone is different. Certainly there are other people in the world who are more beautiful, or stronger, or cleverer than you or I am. So anyone reading this wonderful book should be able to identify with the characters… because every one of the characters in this book accepted the challenges they were handed. The one thing every disabled person I know is certain of—myself included—is that we are not our disability. We're people. And people need to overcome whatever obstacles that are in their way. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdRI4uBhhxOq5slKP | Apart from exciting action, drama is also set to unfold when the Philippine Superliga Grand Prix fires off this Saturday at the Ynares Arena in Pasig City.
Former Petron reinforcement Lindsay Stalzer had crossed the enemy lines and is set to suit up for the Blaze Spikers' main rival – F2 Logistics – in this prestigious women's club tourney bankrolled by Asics, Mikasa, Mueller, Senoh, Team Rebel Sports, Bizooku, UCPB Gen, Hotel Sogo and Data Project.
The comely American is one of the best imports the league ever saw.
After leading Cignal, she led Foton to back-to-back titles before joining teaming up with Hillary Hurley in Petron in 2017.
But with Petron reaching an agreement with Bell and power-hitting Stephanie Niemer in the off-season, Stalzer was left unsigned, prompting the Cargo Movers to tap her to serve as reinforcement together with Italian-American Becky Perry.
And it sets the stage for another blockbuster and dramatic battle between two of the best club teams in the country today – Petron and F2 Logistics – in their first meeting on March 7 at the Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is her sixth time to play in the league," said F2 Logistics' captain Cha Cruz during the press conference last Sunday at the Sta. Lucia Grand East Mall in Cainta.
F2 Logistics isn't the only team who could give the reigning champion a run for its money.
United Volleyball Club, Generika-Ayala, Foton and Sta. Lucia are also coming in with high expectations following a massive buildup in the off-season of this battle that also has ESPN5 and 5Plus as official broadcast partner.
UVC will be parading a rock-solid core of Filipino-Hawaiian stalwarts Kalei Mau and Alohi Robins-Hardy, Kiwi Amy Ahomiro, libero Bang Pineda and imports Tai Manu-Olevao and Yasmeen Bedart-Ghani while the Lifesavers will be resting its fate on Brazilian Nikolle del Rio and Azerbaijani Kseniya Kocyigit.
Not to be outdone, the Tornadoes are bringing in former Turkish national team member Selime Ilyasoglu and American Courtney Felinski while the Lady Realtors will have a new coach in Babes Castillo as well as imports Molly Lohman and Casey Schoenlein. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUc7g5qhDBVdSkbEEu | Dulwich Tandoori has been an integral part of Lordship Lane in East Dulwich since it first opened its doors to the people of Dulwich in 1982. The Dulwich Tandoori has been a firm favourite amongst locals and visitors alike, being the preferred choice for an authentic Indian meal in Dulwich. We pride ourselves in the fact that we are a traditional Indian restaurant and have maintained the same level of traditional qualities and service standards from the start. Come and try us for a delicious, freshly prepared Indian meal and who knows, you might be back for more.
If you can judge a curry house on the strength of its pickle tray, then all is well at Dulwich Tandoori. With milky, soothing raita and even 'the Evil One' – that being lime pickle – showing balanced flavour, it's a pleasure to tuck in. There's plenty more to like. Arrive bereft of a booking and you can enjoy a half-price drink as you wait at the affiliated bar next door, before being chaperoned to the next available table. In our experience, the service is uniformly enthusiastic and good-natured. And alongside the usual suspects, you'll find regional specials like Shatkora chicken; an intriguing recipe featuring a Bangladeshi citrus fruit akin to candied pomelo or preserved lemon. While it's not particularly pleasant to gnaw on large hunks of the fragrant peel, the distinctive sweet-sharpness infuses the dish with a freshness that counteracts even the most cloying of kormas or butter chickens. Plus, the menu seems reassuringly low on sinister and luridly-coloured dishes that throb with an alien luminescence, and the saag paneer is delicious. They've gone a bit leftfield with the website, and lifestyle photography that leads you to believe you'll be dining in a nightclub when it's just a solid neighbourhood restaurant. I suppose the elephant in the room would be the meat. Nowhere does the website allude to happy chickens or lambs prancing in grassy liberation, which concerns me. Equally, I've not wanted to be the joyless diner that grills the waiters, thumps down the menu and makes a charge for the door if the response to my probing isn't as quaint as I'd hope. My fretting may be entirely unfounded; the grub is good and the atmosphere is jolly. But ethical consumers may want to ask the question I'm reluctant to, and I'd be (tenatively) interested to learn the answer. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

To play without passion is inexcusable.
Shaina's Strings is one of Freeport's unique treasures. Shaina offers her invaluable musical training and her heart to over 37 full-time violin students. This past December I photographed her annual Winter Solstice Recital. We began with portraits before the show finishing up with time to spare as the children gathered in the back of FPAC awaiting everyone to be ready from last minute bathroom breaks. There were several full ensemble pieces and every student had a solo beginning with announcing their name and the name of the piece they were about to play. I adored the little ones not much bigger then their own beginner violins placed centerstage. I too wanted to play the violin when I was that age but there was no such Shaina around in my town when I was 5! I spoke with Shaina a few days after the recital. I praised her work. Shaina shared with me her motto as a teacher which I adore. "To make a mistake is insignificant. To play without passion is inexcusable."

There is a great chance that you will ruin your cushion if you take the fabric cover off---welts, buttons, trims, etc. can be compromised as well as the fact that your cushion will lose its shape when you try to "re-stuff" it.

BkiUdvfxaJJQnJnbvf1F | Cookův průliv je průliv mezi Severním a Jižním ostrovem Nového Zélandu. Průliv spojuje Tasmanovo moře na západě s jižní částí Tichého oceánu na východě.
Geografie
Jižní pobřeží průlivu probíhá 30 km podél Oblačného zálivu (Cloudy Bay) a míjí ostrovy a přístupy k regionu Marlborough. Severní pobřeží se táhne v délce 40 km podél Palliserova zálivu, prochází kolem vstupu do přístavu Wellington, míjí předměstí města Wellingtonu a pokračuje dále v délce 15 km k Makarské pláži.
Historie
Před dvanácti až šestnácti tisíci lety oddělil Cookův průliv Severní a Jižní ostrov.
Prvním Evropanem, který objevil úžinu v roce 1642, byl nizozemský mořeplavec Abel Tasman (1603–1659). Objevil nové území (Nový Zéland), ale neplul dál mezi ostrovy a vodstvo považoval za velkou zátoku.
Průliv je pojmenován po Jamesi Cookovi (1728–1779), prvním Evropanu, který jím proplul roku 1770 během své první plavby. V maorštině se průliv jmenuje Raukawa nebo Raukawa Moana. Raukawa, což znamená "hořké listí". Cookův průliv je jedním z nejnebezpečnějších a nejvíce nevyzpytatelných vodních toků na světě. Ve svém nejužším místě je široký 22 km a odděluje mys Terawhiti na Severním ostrově od Perano Head na ostrově Arapawa v regionu Marlborough Jižního ostrova.
Cookův průliv přilákal evropské osadníky na počátku 19. století. Průliv využívali velryby během sezónních migrací, takže poblíž průlivu byly založeny četné velrybářské základny. Mys Perano byl hlavní velrybářskou stanicí v této oblasti. Domy postavené rodinou Perano se nyní využívají k ubytování turistů.
Od roku 1840 vznikaly trvalejší osady, nejprve ve Wellingtonu, poté v Nelsonu a Wanganui. Všechna tato raná města se shlukovala kolem Cookova průlivu jako ústředního prvku a centrální vodní cesty nové kolonie. V různých dobách byla k ochraně Cookova průlivu postavena na pobřeží opevnění. Během druhé světové války byla na kopci Rights Hill za Wellingtonem instalována dvě 9,2 palcová děla s dostřelem 29 km. Pozůstatky historického opevnění průlivu lze ještě dnes na mnoha místech vidět.
Maják Penkarrow v průlivu byl prvním stálým majákem postaveným na Novém Zélandu. Jeho první strážkyně Mary Jane Bennettová byla jedinou ženskou strážkyní majáku v dějinách Nového Zélandu. Maják fungoval až do roku 1935, pak byl nahrazen majákem v Cape Baring.
V průlivu ztroskotala řada lodí, například Maria v roce 1851 (26 mrtvých), Dunedin City v roce 1865 (39 mrtvých), Svatý Vincenc v roce 1869 (20 mrtvých), Lastingham v roce 1884 (18 mrtvých), SS Penguin v roce 1909 (75 mrtvých) a TEV Wahine v roce 1968 (53 mrtvých).
Plavba přes průliv
Trajektové spoje v Cookově úžině představují jedno z nejdůležitějších dopravních spojení mezi oběma hlavními ostrovy Nového Zélandu pro osobní dopravu a zejména pro dálkovou nákladní dopravu.
Většina přepravy probíhá mezi severním přístavem Wellington a jižním přístavem Picton. Největší část trajektové dopravy provozuje státní společnost Interislander. Trajekty kromě přepravy osob a zboží nabízí také přepravu železničních vozů a stávají se tak důležitým spojovacím článkem mezi železničními sítěmi Severního a Jižního ostrova.
Pro turisty představuje trajektové spojení přes Cookův průliv pestrou tříhodinovou plavbu po moři, která cestujícím přibližuje fascinující pobřežní krajinu na obou stranách úžiny.
Sportovní plavání přes Cookův průliv ztěžují přílivové proudy, náhlé větry, hustý lodní provoz a žraloci. Úžinu se doposud se podařilo překonat 93 plavcům (stav k prosinci 2014). Prvním úspěšným plavcem byl tehdy 27letý Novozélanďan Barry Devonport, který dne 20. listopadu 1962 potřeboval na přeplavání 11 hodin a 20 minut. Rekord je v současné době 4 hodiny a 37 minut v délce plavání 26 km a vytvořil jej 13. dubna 2008 Novozélanďan Casey Glover.

Know the Danger Signs for Stroke
Joe Vetter didn't recognize the sudden change in his vision as being a sign of a stroke, but his wife knew something was wrong. A trip to Duke Urgent Care, and subsequent visits with Duke specialists, revealed a heart condition he didn't know he had.
On a July morning in 2013, Joe Vetter was getting ready for the day. Suddenly, he couldn't see. "It was like somebody had turned the lights off," he says. All but his peripheral vision returned, and even though he seemed fine otherwise, his wife, Betsy, knew this was a danger sign. They hurried to Duke Urgent Care, where providers sent them to the emergency department at Duke University Hospital. There they learned Vetter had experienced a series of strokes.
After Vetter was admitted, more tests revealed a heart condition he never knew he had. Today, he receives follow-up care at Duke from neurologist Larry Goldstein, MD, and cardiologist Eric Peterson, MD. Vetter is making every moment count. "I feel very lucky," he says.
Although no one hopes for a hospital stay, Vetter says his time at Duke was the best it could be thanks to the nursing staff. "We gave them a basket of fruit when we left," he says.
But Vetter's experience was not his first with Duke Health. One of Joe's daughters was born with a birth defect, and it was the doctors at Duke Children's Hospital that were able to diagnosis and treat her. When Joe got sick, both Betsy and Joe knew Duke and knew they were in the right place to receive the right care. "Not only did we know Duke from the care my daughter received, but we also knew the doctors at Duke are some of the most highly acclaimed in the country. We believe in Duke and are so thankful to have this kind of care so close by."

These latest decisions have been taken in consultation with the respective unions and follows previously confirmed postponements of the Hong Kong and Singapore rounds of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series and women's HSBC World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series event in Stellenbosch, South Africa. They have been taken in line with the relevant government and public health authority advice.
World Rugby Chairman Sir Bill Beaumont said: "We stand in solidarity with the global rugby family and people around the world at this exceptional and difficult time, and I will ensure we continue to do everything in our power to protect the wellbeing of the global rugby family and the wider public.
"Taking the appropriate measures that mitigate the spread of COVID-19 Coronavirus in line with government and public health agency responses and advice is paramount. This has underpinned our decision, taken in consultation with our unions, to suspend these World Rugby tournament activities with immediate effect, including the cancellation of the World Rugby U20 Championship, following conversations with our friends at the Italian federation.
"We are in close dialogue with the IOC relating to the conclusion of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games rugby sevens qualification, specifically options to replace the final Repechage tournament, should that be required. We have two women's and one men's teams left to qualify and are currently considering all options to ensure a fair and credible conclusion to the qualification process.
"Looking at a longer-term strategy, we are in continual dialogue with our unions, regions and the players' association relating to the wider global impact on rugby activities, including financial implications, driven by government and health authority measures to combat the spread of COVID-19.
"At this extraordinary time, we are united in our commitment to finding ways of ensuring that on-field activity can resume as soon as it is safe and possible to do so. To that end, the World Rugby Executive Committee is driving the implementation of a dedicated action plan that will guide us through this challenging period as a sport unified across the international and domestic environments."
Further World Rugby tournament-related updates will follow in due course.
Meanwhile, all World Rugby staff based in its Dublin headquarters have been working from home for more than a week in line with the Irish Government directive regarding gatherings, while all non-essential business travel has been suspended for the time being.

BkiUeSPxK4tBVicoDylX | Photo by Brandon Macz: Downtown resident Michael George is running for the Seattle City Council's District 7 seat. He is a senior project manager at Kidder Mathews and education advocate.
George tells Queen Anne News he believes education is what is needed to ensure Seattle's long-term success, and the city council needs to do better at supporting the work of the school district and board.
That means boosting early education and providing wraparound services that help families struggling in Seattle, George said, which started with passage of the Families, Education, Preschool and Promise Plan.
With three incumbents so far announcing they won't seek re-election, including District 7 Councilmember Sally Bagshaw, and the already high number of candidates filing campaigns, George said he's excited about a shakeup in the city council.
From the nearly dead-on-arrival head tax to a safe drug consumption space, George said the Seattle City Council has a poor record of pushing policies and projects through without carrying out an honest and thorough public outreach process. He wants more auditing of city departments, as well as a series of accountability measures before any new programs get implemented.
Last year the city council assembled a task force to explore an employee-hours (head) tax, and then unanimously passed a $275 per full-time equivalent tax on companies claiming more than $20 million in gross receipts. A repeal campaign, funded largely by those big companies, including Amazon and Starbucks, resulted in a repeal of the tax less than a month later.
George said he would have voted against the head tax, because he didn't see a plan in place for the anticipated revenue or any accountability measures. The tax had been broken down to put 40 percent of the revenue toward homeless services and 60 percent into creating affordable housing.
"I think the bigger issue is Seattle rolled out a couple experimental projects without really thinking about neighborhood impacts and consequences," George said.
The City of Seattle continues exploring how to create a safe consumption space for heroin and other drug users to safely consume drugs under medical supervision, with health and treatment services also on site. It would likely be a fixed mobile facility.
He said he sees the benefits for drug users, but is concerned about neighborhood impacts.
The same goes for upzoning neighborhoods to increase housing development.
"I don't think we should get rid of all single-family zoning throughout the city," George said.
The city definitely needs more affordable housing, the District 7 candidate said. While government can create affordable housing more easily, philanthropies have more access to "no-strings-attached money to help people in the moment," George said.
Solving issues like housing affordability and homelessness needs to be handled at a regional level, George said.
The Queen Anne Community Council is challenging an environmental review of a proposal by Councilmember Mike O'Brien that would allow for the creation of a mother-in-law and backyard cottage on a single-family lot or two mother-in-laws.
George said he supports the creation of more accessory dwelling units in Seattle, but neighborhoods need to be included in the discussion.
People want to stay in their neighborhoods, and also ensure their families can live there in the future, George said.
He said he'd like to see senior housing created in the struggling Magnolia Village, which would open up single-family homes in the neighborhood.
With affordable housing redevelopment plans proceeding on the Fort Lawton property near Discovery Park, George said he's hearing from Magnolia residents that there is concern about a lack of neighborhood amenities to serve disadvantaged populations, which needs to be part of the conversation.
George has worked on all transit-oriented development projects in Seattle for the past decade, he said, and Sound Transit now requires 80 percent of its developable land to include affordable housing.
A Ballard Link light rail extension would run through downtown to South Lake Union, Seattle Center, Smith Cove and Ballard. However, the route through downtown and Seattle Center will be underground.
"If it's suitable for housing, I think we should look at making it affordable in those situations," George said of any transit-oriented development potential for the Ballard extension.
The District 7 candidate will not keep his job with Kidder Mathews if he wins the election, and tells Queen Anne News he is already removing himself from a number of projects to avoid any potential future conflicts.
George said he is not in favor of continuing to preserve the Showbox in its current location, which has been led by District 3 Councilmember Kshama Sawant. The property owner wants to sell the land the performance venue sits on to a private developer, who would raze the building for a 44-story luxury apartment tower. Roger Forbes is now suing the city for the $40 million he's losing because the city downzoned the site by adding it into the Pike Place Market Historic District, effectively stopping him from selling the property to the Onni Group.
"I think we need to be practical, and I don't see the city being able to win that one," George said.
George clarified later that he would like to see the building possibly disassembled and reassembled on another lot that is less ideal for redevelopment, as he doesn't see the venue as being structurally sound enough to build around.
George supports a 1:1 replacement of the Magnolia Bridge, which is estimated to cost $340-$420 million, but said it's premature to say how the project should be funded.
"It's going to take more than local money is my answer," he said.
The problem is that the city had not been saving up for the bridge's eventual replacement, he said, just like it hasn't kept reserves for renovating or replacing Seattle's aging community centers.
When Bagshaw announced she would not seek re-election, she promised to make funding the Magnolia Bridge replacement a priority during her final year on the council.
Bagshaw also told Crosscut at that time that she'd spoken with a number of possible contenders for her seat, including George, who declined to comment at that time.
George said he sees areas where he aligns with Bagshaw and others where he differs, adding he's not ready to announce his early endorsers.

BkiUbq3xK1UJ-rRH-5Wt | Any recommendations on a low fuel light that doesn't come on?
The easiest thing to do is to not let the tank get near empty. I try not to let mine get below a quarter tank, but when I first bought my 2000 FFV Taurus, the little Flex Fuel-only module behind the radio didn't work, and since it allowed the gauge to read accurately whether the tank has gas or E-85 in it, the gauge didn't read right until I replaced that stupid module. And the only way to do that is to remove the radio, reach up with a wrench (at least, in my case), bash your hand against the inner lip of the hole where the radio/HVAC panel goes trying to unhook the module with 1/4 turns of said wrench, and remove the little bracket holding the module in place. That was fun; it was an unnessesarily long 20-30 minutes of my life I won't be getting back.
Most likely, in your case, there's either an issue with the wiring from the sending unit to the light, or the little bulb's burnt out. And I do mean little; I think the ones in the dash are those #168 bulbs. | c4 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdOA5qg5A56rhKnKE | Umrah revenue may hit SR12bn
Umrah service providers in Saudi Arabia are hopeful that the revenue generated from pilgrimage this year will go up to SR12 billion. According to experts, around 3.3 million Umrah pilgrims are expected to arrive in Saudi Arabia, with the most number of visitors in Ramadan, a popular month for Umrah.
The Haj Ministry has issued over 150,000 visas ever since Makkah was opened for Umrah this year, as a result of which hotels and furnished apartments in the city are reporting 100 per cent occupancy. Umrah service providers hope that the influx of pilgrims this year will help them recover from the setbacks they suffered in 2009 owing to the recession and swine flu outbreak.
Moreover, Umrah companies are doing their best to improve the quality of services provided to pilgrims. "Umrah companies have learned from past mistakes and want to avoid negative impressions," said Abdul Hameed, who works in the tourism industry. "They are now trying to win the confidence of clients by providing them with excellent services. They have realised that only through providing prompt and excellent services they can get more clients."

BkiUbbA4eIfiUQtkoT8J | Many years ago, I made a pact with myself to climb one 14er (a 14,000 foot peak) a year for as long as I am physically able to. I managed to do this for a few years before life got busy and days in the mountains took a back seat. But now I have more spare time and have been hiking for most of the summer so the timing seemed right to start my goal over again. However, I wanted to do an "easy" one and with the help of a friend (hi Mike!) we chose Quandary Peak as the best possible option. Quandary is a mountain near Breckenridge Colorado, less than a couple of hours from where I live, near Boulder. The only problem with picking an "easy" 14er within driving distance of a major metropolitan city (Denver) is that you can expect a small army of hikers who are thinking exactly the same thing. So this would not be a hike in solitude but rather a hike more closely resembling a conga line to the summit. Foreshadowing?
No matter how fit you are, high elevation has a way of taking you down a notch or two. Even though I had been hiking a lot over the summer, I noticed the lack of oxygen almost immediately after leaving the car at the trailhead, at 10,900 feet above sea level. The mountain introduced itself to us straight away by letting us know that this would be no "easy" climb. I was carrying a simple day pack with a few essentials like Vanilla Coke, trail mix, camera, aspirin, etc. and felt good that I had not overpacked. I was as light as I could hope to be, gear wise anyway. We hiked along pretty well for quite awhile before we 'really' started to notice the effects of the higher altitudes. It slowed us down tremendously but we were outside on a crisp late summer day and we were just taking our time getting up the hill, just happy to be up high again.
When I hike or spend time in the outdoors, I prefer solitude over crowds. Today, I had to accept the fact that there would be large numbers of hikers and there most certainly were. Recently, I have been doing a cruiser bike ride on Thursday nights in Boulder with a couple of hundred, mostly college aged cyclists. On these rides, I have noticed that most of the younger crowd is just out to have fun, and that they generally behave in a respectful manner. I have found that I enjoy being around their youthful energy. Unintentionally, this prepared me for being around a bigger crowd of like-minded people just like the ones I would see on the trail today.
We continued to make our way up the mountain step by step and as we did, a rumor of something unheard of began to filter down to us from hikers that had already reached the summit, that some guys had carried a keg of beer to the top and that if we didn't hurry, we would miss out on having a a cup at the top. At first, I scoffed at the idea that anyone or any group of people would, could, or should carry a keg up a mountain when I could barely carry my light pack with snacks. But the more we passed other hikers with the same news, the more exciting getting to the summit was becoming. The anticipation of confirming the validity of the rumors was actually helping to take my mind off of the trials of the hike.
As we neared the top, we could hear a group of people counting, but we had no idea why. We could also see a fairly big group of people on the summit gathered around in a circle. So what we heard was that some guy set a goal to climb all 53 of Colorado's 14ers in one summer, and this was his last one to complete what is a very monumental feat. His buddies decided to bring a keg to the top of the last 14er to celebrate his accomplishment. Truth really is stranger than fiction – when we reached the summit, there was said keg on top of said 14er in all of its silver glory, glistening like a trophy. Everyone who made it to the top, strangers alike, were offered a beer. Although it was very foamy and not my beloved Fat Tire (it was PBR I believe), it was the best beer I've ever had on a 14er (okay, it's the only beer I've had on a 14er).
Now to the counting we heard from below, as it turns out the millinials were counting off the seconds that a few brave (read crazy) souls were doing 'keg stands'. So this was to be a special '14er' keg stand where the goal was to last 14 seconds. Man after man tried and failed until a woman in her late twenties managed a 16 second keg stand. When they flipped her back up, she had tears rolling down her cheeks. Tears of joy? Beer in her eyes? Lack of oxygen? Tears of sorrow for not making it further than 16 seconds? Realizing there was no hospital nearby?! I have no idea, but whatever the reason…very impressive, and fun to be a part of.
And how did they get the keg up to the top? They made an apparatus out of PVC pipe and plywood with the keg strapped to it so that two people (or even four) could carry it up to the top (they must've been Engineering majors). They took turns carrying it up, but comparing their load to the load I carried, it looked much more impressive for them, not so much for me. This may explain though why everyone got a free beer at the top…so they could carry an empty keg back down instead of one with the excess weight of beer they couldn't finish. Again, impressive!
My first 14er in many years and there was a kegger on the summit! Crazy. Awesome. Fun.
that's wild. good on them for lugging a keg up the mountain— as the sign at the bottom of Quandary says: "There are no easy fourteeners." Bet it tasted great.
I totally agree: no easy fourteeners. The beer, although foamy, did taste great!
Now how's that for atmosphere? | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

DOLOW
Galkayo, also known as Gallacaio or Rocca Littorio, is the capital of the north-central Mudug region of Somalia. According to UNHCR report "The city of Galkayo is divided into two areas". These two areas are separated by a distinct boundary, with the southern district governed by the Galmudug State and northern districts governed by Puntland. Neighborhoods in the northern part of the city that is under Puntland control are Garsoor, Hormar and Israac. The southern part of the city that is Galmudug control has wadajir neighborhood . Following independence, Galkayo was made the center of the Galkayo District. The city has grown considerably in recent times and serves as a commercial hub.. As of 2005, it has an estimated population of 137,667 inhabitants.[
Mogadishu known locally as Hamar, is the capital and most populous city of Somalia. Located in the coastal Banaadir region on the Indian Ocean, the city has served as an important port for millennia. As of 2015, it had a population of 2,120,000 residents.
As Somalia's capital city, many important national institutions are based in Mogadishu. It is the seat of the Federal Government of Somalia established in August 2012, with the Somalia Federal Parliament serving as the government'slegislative branch. Yusuf Hussein Jimaale has been the Mayor of Mogadishu since October 2015. Villa Somalia is theofficial residential palace and principal workplace of the President of Somalia, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud.

BkiUawo25V5hZMvJmyh1 | "The question of how to visualize the past--pre- or post-photographic--brings into sharp focus the central issue of putting history on film: is it entertainment or is it some form of serious inquiry?"
Do reenactments ever work? Sometimes. For dramatic moments like the fatal confrontation between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton in a recent American Experience documentary, The Duel (2000), reenactment works quite well because the filmmakers, Carl Byker and Mitch Wilson, actually break the PBS convention and let the camera dwell on the actors' faces. Rather than watching decapitated stand-ins we get to see complete human beings we can come to think of as Burr and Hamilton, even though we know the duelists didn't look quite like that. Some of the reluctance of documentary filmmakers to show actors' faces comes from the fact that in a documentary--unlike a feature film--portraits are usually included, so viewers can't help but notice the differences between the actors and the likenesses. But part of the fun of watching any film is suspending our disbelief long enough to be sucked into the story. After all, we know Elizabeth I looked nothing like Cate Blanchett, but is that the point?
A dramatic moment like the Burr-Hamilton shoot-out is so violent, passionate, and dramatic I could imagine it working as a reenactment in many different ways. But how can documentary filmmakers bring alive the important moments that are quiet and small but nonetheless crucial: for example, the inner struggle of a Revolutionary-era colonist deciding to become a patriot? In another departure from the increasingly hackneyed conventions of reenactments, Muffy Meyer and Ellen Hovde, co-directors of the public TV series Liberty, the American Revolution (1997), selected letters and diary or journal entries by well-known and not-so-well-known participants in the events, from Ben Franklin to Joseph Plumb Martin, then had actors perform the words of the journals and letters while looking directly into the camera. The use of letters and journals is certainly not new. But the usual convention is to have the letters read in voice-over, as Burns did, usually to great effect, in The Civil War (1991). Yet voice-over is always a trifle distancing, and particularly so when the language of the 1770s sounds so archaic to our ears today. Hearing Revolutionary-era letters in voice-over would have been simply a bore. But when a skillful actor is performing the reading, a smile or smirk, a pursed lip, a furrowed brow give the words flair and interpretation--in a word, drama! Although all depends on the actors (and there are some duds), overall it's a successful device that brings some immediacy to the otherwise remote events surrounding the Revolution and stands out as a welcome breath of innovation.
Yet both reenactments and dramatic readings strike many people--some academic historians among them--as detracting from the seriousness of the material at hand and blurring the line between history and fiction. But where is that line, exactly? And more to the point, does it ever serve the purposes of historical inquiry to blur it--perhaps even to cross it altogether?
Prof. John White Webster, as depicted during his trial on murder charges.
This isn't simply a matter of stylistic approach. The question of how to visualize the past--pre- or post-photographic--brings into sharp focus the central issue of putting history on film: is it entertainment or is it some form of serious inquiry? Can it ever be both?
In his book Visions of the Past: the Challenge of Film to Our Idea of History (Cambridge, Mass., 1995), historian Robert Rosenstone's critical but friendly look at historical documentaries, he tells an anecdote from his experience as a collaborator on The Good Fight, the 1984 documentary about the Spanish Civil War. Part of the story he thought was critically important was left out of the film because the filmmakers had no visual materials with which to tell it. Drawing from his own experience, Rosenstone concluded that history on film can never be analytical, theoretical, or critical; it is instead "history as homage."
He's absolutely right. But had I been the filmmaker behind The Good Fight, I, too, would have asked Rosenstone, "OK, but what will we be seeing?" It's a question that has become my mantra. Whenever I work with nonfilmmakers as collaborators I have to take time to get across the most obvious but not always appreciated fact of the medium: for every word uttered, there has to be footage on the screen. And not just any footage, but the right image. In fact, ideally it is the image that will drive the words (this is, after all, filmmaking--not an illustrated lecture).
Rosenstone attempted to convince the directors of The Good Fight to include material on terrorism among the Stalinist Left--a complicated twist in the already complex story on intra-Left battles. The filmmakers told him there was simply no visual material and that getting into the issue would lengthen the film and slow down the narrative. I'm inclined to agree. In my own experience making films about the American Left of the 1930s, I've found that it's a big enough struggle first of all to convince viewers there ever was an American Left. Getting into the differences between the Communist Party, the Socialist Party, the Stalinists, and the Trotskyites is practically impossible. There are reels and reels of wonderfully evocative newsreel footage of the many street demonstrations of the 1930s, but, to modern viewers, whether the demonstrators are socialist or CP, Lovestonite faction or Browderites, it all looks the same.
Abstract points introduce even greater challenges. In a film I made about Jesse H. Jones, a little known financier who ran the New Deal's Reconstruction Finance Corporation, we had to explain issues of financing and credit (boring no matter what--even with images); why banks were afraid to make loans during the Depression (showing somebody NOT doing something does not work on film); and Jones's contradictory role as a staunch capitalist who also believed in activist government intervention in financial affairs (inherent contradictions are especially hard to convey on film--strong pictures do not often carry mixed messages). Abstract points again require "talking heads." But of course talking heads are widely known to bore viewers. Sometimes, inevitably, the best decision--the decision the directors of The Good Fight made--will be to skip the point.
Dr. George Parkman, one of Boston's richest men. known as The Pedestrian.
Rosenstone's experience reminds us that, from the moment film is the format chosen for telling a piece of history, a huge act of selective storytelling has taken place. From that moment on, the process is a matter of jettisoning detail, nuance, and evidence in order to make the historical events fit the visual material available.
To an historian's ears, "making the events fit the material" sounds like blasphemy, like doing history backwards. But I would argue that, on the contrary, the difficulties of making a satisfying hour or ninety minutes of history come alive on screen push filmmakers to find artful and inventive ways of presenting stories that--when they work well--rival the best written historical narratives (if not for completeness, at least for compelling storytelling).
One of the best examples of how well a mostly pre-photographic documentary can work is Ric Burns's The Donner Party (1992). Though Burns uses the usual techniques--David McCullough's narration, diaries and letters read in voice-over, maps, drawings and a few photos, and newly shot images of mountains and blizzards--the pieces come together into a riveting story that's impossible to switch off.
But it is storytelling first and foremost. And while it could be argued that the story of the Donner Party is too atypical to be really useful in understanding the larger history of westward expansion, there's no question that in its uniqueness it captures one small part of what drove people west and the price they paid to get there. Like so many historical documentaries The Donner Party can be accused of reducing history to a kind of ad hominem experience, or as Rosenstone says, history as homage. But film works best when it tells smaller stories about just a few people, and for that reason film or TV can never take the place of books and articles in serious history; the scale is usually too small and the tools are simply too blunt and imprecise for the job. Even when we're lucky enough to have massive archives of photographs, newsreel, and film and video footage at hand, filmmakers start from a completely different premise than historians do. By choosing to use visual materials to convey information, the filmmaker is already jumping into history with one hand tied. Imagine writing a history book using only the most minimal one or two sentences of explication between the documentary selections. Tricky work, indeed, and probably a trickier read.
An imaginative version of the fatal encounter between John Webster and George Parkman from some years after the murder.
In making a film, it's only one kind of document--those we can see--that carry the weight of presenting evidence; the brief explications only make connections or transitions between subjects. And the explications can themselves be a problem, largely because most take the form of the dominant convention in documentary filmmaking: narrative voice-over. In most historical documentaries, expert talking heads intercut with archival film and photos, all stitched together by the omniscient narrator who provides transitions and keeps the narrative humming along with the occasional reenactment added for dramatic effect. This is not a format that easily provides room for divergent points of view, for messily contradictory evidence, or indeed even for important aspects of the historical events at hand that may not have obvious visual images connected with them.
So why bother? Because, despite these obstacles, history on screen simply does some things better than history on the page. Reaching the millions, for one. What history on TV and film does best is entertain and engage while issuing an invitation to the viewer to learn more. What it lacks in depth it makes up for in reach. Few books or articles will ever have the sheer impact of The Civil War series, nor even the audience of millions that will watch a reasonably popular American Experience offering. If for no other reason than this, putting history on film will always be worthwhile.
But there is another reason. Screened history can have a different kind of impact than most written history does. It hits us in a different place: someplace deeper, more emotional, more visceral. We feel--and remember--images differently than we do words. Moving images, in short, are moving. I don't think I ever truly understood the sheer cruelties of New World colonialism as well as I did after watching Black Robe, Bruce Beresford's 1991 movie of Brian Moore's historical novel about French missionaries in mid-seventeenth-century Canada. In this dark movie, the sun never shines on French Canada--all the events take place under oppressively leaden skies. Sure it's hyperbole as metaphor, but it's a potent example of what the power of images can achieve. After watching Black Robe I will forever associate the European conquest of the New World with chill gray drizzle, dampness, and death.
What story will we make visual in our documentary about the murder of Dr. George Parkman? One that, we hope, will be as riveting as the first accounts of it to hit Boston newspapers in 1849. We're solving the footage problem by using actors in speaking roles--but we're cheating: all the action takes place through the imagination of historian Simon Schama, who also appears on camera. Is it history or drama? Does the fact that it comes from the head of an historian make it history? Does the fact that he's imagining make it fiction?
We're not sure ourselves. We only hope that it will be entertaining enough to keep viewers from switching the channel and, if we really do our jobs, intriguing enough to send them to a library. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 |

BkiUbr45qoaAwbGC8DQk | Offensive tackle Tyler Moore made history in 2011, becoming the first Nebraska true freshman ever to start on the offensive line in a season opener. The 6-6, 305-pound Moore started the first four games at right tackle, registering the most starts ever for a Husker true freshman offensive lineman. Moore went on to earn freshman All-Big Ten honors from ESPN.com for his efforts last season.
Moore is one of Nebraska's two most experienced tackles entering the fall along with junior Jeremiah Sirles, while juniors Brent Qvale and Andrew Rodriguez will also compete for starting jobs at tackle.
Moore joined the program in January of 2011 and started the first four contests, and played in nine games overall. With Moore in the starting lineup, Nebraska racked up better than 200 rushing yards in all four games, including 300-plus yard rushing outputs against Washington and Wyoming. Moore became just the 10th true freshman offensive lineman to see action for Nebraska since 1973 when freshmen regained eligibility.
Moore was part of a strong group of line prospects in the 2011 recruiting class. He joined the Nebraska program from Countryside High School in Clearwater, Fla., and gave NU at least one signee from the Sunshine State in nine of the past 10 years.
Moore was regarded as one of the top offensive line prospects in the country after helping his team to a 12-1 record in 2010, and a trip to the regional finals. The Cougar offense rushed for better than 2,900 yards and 45 rushing touchdowns behind Moore's powerful blocking. As a junior, Moore helped Countryside to an 11-2 record and the offense also produced strong rushing numbers with better than 225 rushing yards per game. Moore was chosen as a Class 5A all-state pick during his junior season. Moore was a three-year starter at Countryside, first breaking into the lineup in the season opener of his sophomore year.
Following his senior season, Moore played for the East team in the U.S. Army All-Star game in San Antonio. He was ranked among the top 100 overall prospects in the nation according to Rivals.com and among the top 15 players in Florida by both Rivals and Super Prep Magazine. Moore committed to the Huskers during his junior season and did not take any other visits, but did receive dozens of offers, including Florida, Ohio State and Stanford.
Tyler was born on Jan. 3, 1993, and is the son of Brian Moore and Kim Sorenson. He is majoring in business administration. Moore's father, Brian, played tight end for the Huskers in the 1980s, earning a letter in 1985. Tyler is the cousin of former NU defensive end Jay Moore (2002-06). | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
