Nassim Nicholas Taleb – Forget Forecasting

At our co-hosted event together with Thommessen in the beginning of May, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a mathematical statistician, former option trader, and risk analyst, engaged in a discussion with Frode Strand-Nielsen, Managing Partner at FSN Capital. During the session, Nassim elaborated on his thoughts about forecasting—and argued that it’s actually a waste of time. Here, we’ll give you Nassim’s key insights on why you should forget forecasting.

We Live in a World of Black Swans

Nassim is known as the father of a concept called the Black Swan; an event that is rare, hard to predict, has a catastrophic impact, and in retrospect is explained as if it was predictable. What he highlighted about this concept is that “the Black Swan is very subjective”. As an example, Nassim explained that the events on September 11th in 2001 was for most of us purely Black Swan as no real model could predict it. “But for those involved in the plot, it was not a Black Swan. They were in those planes and they knew it was going to happen. So, it depends on the observer.”

The conclusion that we should make due to the subjectivity of Black Swan events is that we should not waste time trying to predict them. Rather, you should focus on being robust and ready for whatever the Black Swan is. “There are ways to tackle uncertainty that don’t involve forecasting. Try to build something that resists all manner of forecast and forecast errors.”

The Folly of Forecasting

Nassim emphasized that he believes forecasting is absurd and folly. “These people [forecasters] don’t really have skin in the game. They just need to tell a good story.” While working on Wallstreet for years, he saw that investors don’t really even listen to the forecasters. “The forecast is for the customers.”

Nassim admitted that sometimes investors can get ideas from the forecasts, but these predictions can’t fully be relied on. He argued that forecasters often forget what matters. The big unexpected events are the things that shape the world, and those are not included in forecasts simply because even by definition you can’t predict them.

“What is important is not so much to forecast but to understand the world via forecasting and make sure you are robust to certain surprising events.”

Why We Want to Believe Forecasts

Our inability to know what will happen in the future causes us anxiety. Nassim explained that earlier most people used religion to get through the anxiety caused by uncertainty whereas nowadays, more and more people rely on science. The problem however is that “the job of science is not to forecast, it’s to progressively eliminate what is wrong”. In the case of weather, forecasting often works as the predictions are made for a short term. But in larger unexpected events using science to forecast doesn’t help.

As we don’t have ways to relieve our anxiety caused by uncertainty, we start falling prey to people giving us numbers. According to Nassim, what often happens is that we start anchoring to those forecast numbers in the hope to relieve our anxiety. This in turn can cause us to get ready for future events that will not happen and avoid getting ready for unexpected events that will.

“What you do is that you don’t have a forecast but instead have a collection of things that can happen in the world and you make sure that you are ok across these possible events. You don’t need to have a precise forecast.”

Be Antifragile

Already in his 20s during the market crash of 1987, Nassim became financially independent. He told that many people said he won because he was able to predict the crash but he himself thinks differently. “I just said that extreme events are more likely. I was equipped to make money if they happen and lose a little if they don’t.”

Nassim then continued to explain how he sees there are two classes of people: the antifragile people and the ones who are harmed by any type of uncertainty. The people who he refers to as antifragile are the ones who are able to navigate uncertainty with trial and error.

In the world we live in today, it is arguably the antifragiles who thrive.

Use the Barbell Strategy to Avoid Forecasting

A great practical strategy to avoid forecasting and rather prepare, is Nassim’s investment strategy called the Barbell Strategy. It aims to make sure that a majority of your capital is safe while using the remaining small portion on risky investments.

“My idea of a Barbell is how do you face uncertainty given that we don’t know the risks. Conventional financial models tell you to invest in medium risk securities. But if you don’t know the risks then these medium risk securities are very risky. What I know is that a zero risk security is a zero risk security. So, instead of having my money in medium risk securities, I have a proportion, say 80%, in zero risk securities and the remaining 20% in maximum risk items.”

According to Nassim, with this strategy you can avoid losing huge portions of your investments but you have a chance to occasionally make significant wins.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb will join Oslo Business Forum 2022 on September 21-22. He will be joined by world-class speakers such as Yuval Noah Harari, Amy Edmondson, Steve Wozniak and many others. Click here to read more!


Generating Electricity from Hydro Energy

Most of the world's renewable electricity is generated from hydro energy. Including in hydropower plants built and operated by Petrol in the region.

Water, a renewable energy source

Civilizations have always been built around water. Not only is water a source of life, but it is also the world’s largest renewable energy source. And hydropower trends indicate future growth.

At Petrol, we are betting on sustainable energy production, which is why we built the Jeleč hydropower plant in Bosnia and Hercegovina. We also operate five more hydropower plants in the SE region.

Why Hydropower Plants?

Water is Constantly Renewed in Nature

Hydropower is energy obtained from the potential energy of water, one of the key renewable energy sources. When the turbines are driven, the energy potential of the water is converted into mechanical energy, which is then converted into electricity through generators. Water is considered a clean energy source, as there are no greenhouse gas emissions.

The Geographical Location of Hydropower Plants

Hydropower potential and natural conditions dictate the type of hydropower plant. Petrol's small hydropower plants are of the derivative type and are located on smaller watercourses in Bosnia and Hercegovina and Serbia.

The region still has a lot of potential when it comes to small hydropower plants, which are more environmentally friendly and affect the environment less.

The Construction of Hydropower Plants

The utilization of hydro energy sources depends on the climate and geographical conditions. Hydropower plants are built in locations where it is possible to exploit the hydropower potential in an economically efficient manner, wherein we strive to mitigate all the negative environmental impacts. The advantage of renewable sources is also their dispersion and accessibility, as they can be better matched with local energy needs.

Water flow measurements and terrain surveys are carried out at the intended location before the hydropower plant is built. Ordinarily, a concession from a competent institution – such as a city, region or state – must be obtained to build a hydropower plant.

Business Models

We develop and implement small hydropower plant solutions primarily as an investor and partner in project development, where cooperation with local businesses and the environment is key.

Globalist challenges to be overcome by national revival – Putin

Globalist challenges to be overcome by national revival – Putin

Vladimir Putin has told an influential political forum that Russia needs to strengthen its national identity based on traditional values, and vowed to continue the opposition to the unipolar international political system.

National idea as vital priority in global competition

Addressing an assembly of officials, politicians and political experts on the closing day of the international forum Valdai Club, the Russian President said that the nation had already left behind the “fundamental conservatism” characterized by the idealization of Russian history after 1917 and that it was impossible to resurrect Soviet ideology.

However, the president noted that those who supported conservative ideology were as far removed from real life as the followers of western-style liberalism.

The Russian leader emphasized that the progressive movement was impossible without spiritual, cultural and national self-determination, adding that Russia was facing another convolution in global competition and success in it was vitally important.

According to Putin, history has shown the impossibility of imposing a national idea from above and mechanically copying other countries’ experiences was not effective either. He added that resistance to the primitive borrowing of ideas and attempts to civilize Russia from abroad could be explained by the citizens’ inherent drive for independence and sovereignty in spiritual, ideological and political spheres. Putin also noted that such an approach had often failed in other nations of the world.

The time when readymade lifestyle models could be installed in foreign states like computer programs has already passed,” Putin told the Valdai forum.

All-sided dialogue, but no ethnic separatism

The president then said that all political forces must join the discussion about national ideology, urging the opposing camps to listen to each other and to abandon the practice of total nihilism and criticism.

Putin especially warned the nationalist wing, saying that those who forget that Russia was a multi-ethnic state and attempt to speculate on regional separatism “step on a path of destruction of their own genetic code and, in essence, begin to destroy themselves.”

Sovereignty, self-reliance and integrity of Russia are unconditional, they are the red lines no one is allowed to step over,” Putin emphasized.

Speaking of the possible basis for the new national idea, the president said that the current Russian leadership chose to rely on traditional Christian and moral values, noting that without these millennia-tested ideals people would “inevitably lose their human dignity”.

Multi-polar world remains priority in foreign policy

In addition, the Russian leader noted that the national revival of Russia was in line with the foreign policy course for a multi-polar world and the prevailing of international law over the rule of brute force.

Putin cautioned against attempts to reanimate the model of a unified and unipolar world, adding that such a system would not need sovereign states, but would need vassals instead.

Russia is with those who hold that the key decisions must be taken on a collective basis rather than in accordance with plans and interests of certain states or groups of states. International law must work instead of the ‘right of the strong’ and the ‘rule of fists’” Putin told the assembly.

The Russian president again stressed that every country and their people were not exceptional, but they were unique and all had equal rights, including the right to choose their path of development.

No democracy is without flaws

Answering questions after the speech, Putin noted that the current Russian authorities have certain drawbacks and probably could be better, but the same went for the authorities in any democratic country.

It is perfectly right that Russia deserves better quality leadership in general. However, it is a big and bold question if such leadership exists in other countries, including the one represented by Mr McCain [US Senator John McCain who is a constant critic of Vladimir Putin and Russia’s policies]." Putin explained that the US presidents had been twice elected in a vote where a larger number of electors represented a minority of voters and called such a situation “an absolutely evident flaw in the election process.”

The president again emphasized that the Russian political system must be chosen by Russian citizens and not by “respected colleagues from abroad”. Putin also said that in the recent presidential poll the absolute majority of Russians voted for him and this should be a starting point in any discussion. However, he also agreed that both he and the Russian state institution needed perfecting further and pledged to continue working on this.

Should You Migrate to LTO-8, Or Wait For LTO-9

Should You Migrate to LTO-8 or LTO-9?

Determining when to migrate to a new backup format isn’t always easy, particularly when you’re making that decision towards the end of a generation. This year, Linear Tape Open (LTO) 9 will launch with a greatly expanded capacity compared with LTO-8.

Of course, if your business is still using older formats like LTO-7, you’re not alone. Enterprises often skip a generation when upgrading their archives, since regularly migrating to the latest format can be expensive. Tape migration is especially costly for large archival data sets, and migration requires careful planning to ensure security.

LTO-9 is not yet available, though it’s expected to launch in September 2021. If your enterprise is considering data tape migration, you’ll need to determine whether upgrading to LTO-8 could provide significant advantages — or whether LTO-9 will provide a better return on investment.

What are the advantages of migrating to LTO-9?

LTO-9 offers several benefits over LTO-8. Some considerations to keep in mind:

● LTO-9 has an improved capacity of 18 terabytes (TB) native and 45 TB compressed (compared with LTO-8’s 12TB native, 30TB compressed).

● However, LTO-9 will not double capacity from the previous generation — some enterprises with limited data needs may not see enough of a benefit to justify an upgrade.

● LTO-9 drives have a compressed transfer rate of up to 1,000 megabytes per second (MB/s). LTO-8 drives have a maximum sustained data rate of 750 MB/s.

● Both LTO-8 and LTO-9 support Write Once, Read Many (WORM) and data encryption.

LTO-9 tapes are expected to maintain a similar cost-per-gigabyte as the previous generation, but enterprises will need to determine whether LTO-9’s improved speed and capacity justify the cost. For most archival applications, LTO-9 will be a better choice. With that said, enterprises that currently rely on older formats will see substantial improvements in efficiency and reliability by upgrading to LTO-8.

When Will LTO-8 tapes and hardware become obsolete?

All data storage media eventually become obsolete, but the LTO format is widely supported. Cartridges are backwards-compatible, and some enterprises “skip” a generation for that reason. While we can’t predict the future, LTO-8 drives and media should remain affordable for the foreseeable future.

The “skip a generation” can help to manage costs. However, it’s important to note that newer LTO formats are only backwards-compatible for a single generation. Earlier versions of LTO could be read back for two generations, but the recent generations have limited backwards compatibility due to changes in the media design and the introduction of new read/write head technologies.

In other words, LTO-9 drives will not be able to read LTO-7 cartridges. Additionally, the tape drive is limited by the specifications of the tape, so LTO-9 drives will read and write LTO-8 tapes at lower speeds than LTO-9 tapes. For these reasons, most enterprises will want to migrate to the latest available technology.

Migrating to LTO-9 will ensure that you can easily upgrade to LTO-10, which is expected to offer twice the capacity and faster sustained data rates. Even if you’re not planning on migrating your archives with every new tape generation, utilizing the latest available technology can reduce future migration costs significantly.

When should my enterprise migrate tapes to a new format like LTO-9?

Some enterprises may not see the practical value in migrating to a current-generation tape format. If your IT infrastructure has an established process for backing up critical systems and archiving data, you might not see improvements in read/write speeds or capacity as a major selling point.

However, staying up to date has other advantages:

Legacy tape drives can be expensive. As manufacturers discontinue production of older drives, demand increases; Total Data Migration maintains an extensive library of legacy tape drives, and we’ve found that older drives are often much more expensive than their original retail prices.

Legacy tape drives can be unreliable. All tape drives contain mechanical components, which break down over time. Upgrading to a modern format ensures that hardware will be available when a tape drive breaks down.

Legacy media can be unreliable. While tapes have an excellent lifespan compared with other digital storage media, they need to be properly stored. Enterprises that use legacy systems may find themselves purchasing media from third-party suppliers, and those companies may not take proper precautions with media.

While the benefits of tape migration can be substantial, the process is often expensive. Enterprises that handle tape conversion in-house often run into major bottlenecks, and they need to dedicate significant resources to the project. An experienced tape migration partner can help your enterprise manage costs while limiting the trial and error that drives up the cost of in-house conversion.

Total Data Migration is a leader in data conversion, restoration, and catalog ingestion. Our team is ready to help your enterprise plan for an upgrade to LTO-9, LTO-8, or any other modern tape format. Our process ensures the reliability of every tape and data set, and by prioritizing security, we’re able to provide cost-effective solutions with exceptionally consistent results.

Round Ligament Pain During Pregnancy

Round ligament pain is most common during the second trimester. Women may have a sharp pain in their abdomen or hip area that is either on one side or both. Some women even report pain that extends into the groin area. Round ligament pain is considered a normal part of pregnancy as your body goes through many different changes.

What causes round ligament pain?

The round ligament supports the uterus and stretches during pregnancy.  It connects the front portion of the uterus to the groin. These ligaments contract and relax muscles, but much more slowly.

Any movement (including going from a sitting to standing position quickly, laughing, or coughing) that stretches these ligaments by making them contract quickly, can cause a woman to experience pain.  Round ligament pain should only last for a few seconds.

What can be done to treat round ligament pain?

Rest is one of the best ways to help with this kind of pain. Changing positions slowly allows the ligaments to stretch more gradually and can help alleviate any pain.
If you know that you are going to sneeze, cough, or laugh you can bend and flex your hips, which can reduce the pull on the ligaments.
If you are having consistent round ligament pain, your health care provider may recommend daily stretching exercises.  The most common exercise is done by placing your hands and knees on the floor, lowering your head to the floor, and keeping your bottom in the air.

When should I call my healthcare provider?

If the pain persists after resting, or it is accompanied by severe pain, you would want to notify your healthcare provider. If the pain lasts for more than a few minutes, you should contact your healthcare provider immediately.
You would also want to notify your health care provider if the pain is accompanied by any bleeding, cramping, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, or changes in vaginal discharge.

There is a health-care professional, utilized by the residents of Tilbury to identify, diagnose, treat, and monitor disorders of the ear, known as an Audiologist. An audiology professional, this specialist can often alleviate disorders of the auditory and vestibular portions of the ear. Among the range of hearing issues that audiology professionals are trained to diagnose and treat, is Tinnitus. When the overall health of the ear has been assessed, an audiology expert will, where possible, dispense, manage, and rehabilitate hearing conditions.

An audiology professional can provide more than a diagnosis for an adult or child. He or she can counsel families, and provide coping and adjustment suggestions for the family and the patient.

Why should I visit an Audiology expert local to Tilbury?

You don’t need to see yourself as a candidate for hearing aids, to consult with a Tilbury area audiologist. The benefits of routine hearing screenings are in spotting problems early, and protecting your future hearing.

If your hearing is evaluated and found to require treatment, we will either establish a plan for your care, or refer you to a recommended audiologist, local to Tilbury, for further examination.

What is a hearing aid specialist?

An audiologist and a hearing aid specialist are not the same. Hearing aid or hearing instrument specialists facilitate the evaluation of hearing ability, as well as choose the best hearing aid for each individual. Hearing problems do occur more frequently as we age, but are not exclusive to the elderly. Statistics show that 30% of those over the age of 65, and 50% of those over the age of 75 experience hearing loss.

Young people can also experience deafness through medical conditions such as a ruptured ear drum, tumors or infections. Non-medical conditions can also affect hearing ability, such as long-term or frequent exposure to loud noise.

This is an experimental, conceptual, and intentionally provocative exhibition with a formal approach that aims to initiate questioning the status quo of art exhibitions through questioning it, refusing it, and playing with it. It’s an exhibition with the clear intent to not represent traditional exhibitions but to question the structures within them. The manipulation of some basic established parameters of the art exhibition system are invitations to reflect and produce a collective debate. As an adaption of the Dadaist movement, it could be said: this is not an exhibition, this is a wake-up call with the purpose to inspire people to question the ordinary ways, rethink them and create exhibitions in the same experimental and creative spirit they embody when playing with experimental photography techniques already. This exhibition is an invitation to find creative and temporary answers, to spread thoughts & questions further, and play.

This exhibition explores what it means to place oneself into an archive- physically and/or metaphorically. Archives allow us to reimagine the past, live in the present, and conceptualize the future. The idea of photography in itself is archival, but how can those boundaries be pushed? Archives can be expressed through familial narratives, critical race theory, gender and sexuality studies, and even historical photographic processes. Theories around archives can be tied to memories, nostalgia, and generational identity. Each artist and viewer tends to create their own contextual narrative when viewing as we do when we find antiquities from pre-text history. New narratives can be formed when the artist applies their own contemporary interests to the work. Then, archives may lose their original intent and context, while being able to construct new concepts. On the other hand, the archival nature of the work may also be restored. The three floors will be separated thematically by body, nature, and experience. This exhibition aims to allow artists to reclaim their own history, bodies, and environment, and express their experiences in a way that feels genuine to them.

Among Bodies
Curated by  Camilo Londoño Hernández

French philosopher Jean Luc Nancy says: “A body is not empty. It is full of other bodies”. So, we seek images, words, and gestures to confirm his idea. We dig into our skin or look at others for a sign like a Russian doll. We are anatomists with inexhaustible curiosity. Staring at the mirror, taking pictures of each other, posing and disarticulating movements, we aim to understand what kind of material we inhabit. Ineffectively, we fail. We want to know what body means. In other words, we wonder about the physical limits of our existence. Such wonderings lay the foundation for this exhibition. Here, the artists display techniques, imaginaries, pains, and feelings to go through this corporeality. They expand the idea of the body as an emotional, visual, and conceptual vehicle. Their narratives do not pretend to explain what we understand by the body biologically. On the contrary, their approaches detonate another sensibility. From intimacy or nudity to the formal exploration of playing with the body in space (public, private, or virtual), these images are an invitation to make the body a livable space. Here the gaze expands to give us a series of surreal landscapes where we can arrange and dissect the bodily multitude that we contain.

Ephemeral rituals of audiovisual consumption
Curated and intervened by Belén Vilanova, Marta Martín Suárez and Matías Niklison

5. Expo Mutuo_feed.jpg

Ephemeral performance exhibition that includes other disciplines and techniques applied to photography. The message questions conventional photographic exhibitions: what is exhibited, how it is exhibited, why and what is its message in increasingly changing and ephemeral works. Do these messages disappear or are they transformed into others? Starting from the context of contemporaneity with profound changes in the way of transmitting concepts both formally and conceptually and experientially. From the ephemeral, we seek to reflect on the transformation of the works and the exhibition spaces and their "rituals". What we will do concretely they will see and live that day in the "exhibition".

In the semi-lucidity of the dream, the reflections fragment and reflect mysterious signs, times and messages... The hidden language of the universe finds in the alchemical dazzle a way to sensitize the collective unconscious, the extended vibration in this audiovisual work transmutes the real into the imaginary. Medium, creator and witness of the exaltation of the moment, of its brilliance and its intensity; a march towards the cosmic eternity of the image.

My view on People

I believe every person is their own interesting, complex and fascinating universe. Getting to know them and trying to help is one of the most exciting things for me. I love trying to make people’s life better, even if it is by making people smile. I think the People team is here to listen to teammates, understand their needs and make their working environment a place they actually enjoy and don’t just work because they have to.

Preferred learning styles

I need to find engaging and varied resources. I am a very fast learner which means I lose interest quickly if the resources are too long or monotonous.

Communication style

I like context, because I get annoyed when I have to hunt for information to later discover someone already knew the answer. I enjoy synchronous meetings because it means bonding with people, but when it comes to time management, asynchronous communication is my preferred method. But above all I like honesty and directness.

Preferred way to collaborate

Openly and when everyone is willing to listen to other people’s input. Any method that helps me trigger creativity and allows me to think of new things is perfect.

How I approach problems

I like understanding what is happening from different points of view and I try very hard to put myself in other people’s shoes. I sometimes need help processing and just talking to someone about the problem is what I need to find the right way to approach the problem.

Preferred way to be recognized/appreciated

I don’t feel comfortable telling people about my achievements but discovered I feel warmth whenever someone surprises me with a note or message of appreciation, be it privately or publicly.

Thoughts/feelings/preferences when it comes to asking for help

I feel very comfortable saying I don’t know how to do something (and asking for help), but I don’t find it easy saying I can’t do something because I don’t have enough time, even if it’s not because I mismanaged my time.

What I find enjoyable at work

The people. It’s all about connecting and making other people feel better about themselves, making their lives and jobs easier, and building relationships. I also love learning something different everyday, even if it is something quirky that makes no difference to my day to day life. Just like people, it simply makes the world a more interesting place.

What kind of work do I find easiest to do when

I find socializing in the morning hard, that’s why doing solo work in the mornings is perfect. That’s when I read, document or do the thinking as I also find it easier to concentrate in the mornings. Miscellaneous, meetings, and jumping from one thing to another I do best in the afternoon.

I generally don’t mind. If I have the time and the information handy I’ll reply, if I can’t I’ll do it during my working hours.

How folks can best show up for me when I seem off

My off days are not common. If I have one, it’s probably me processing and talking about it might make me annoyed, even when the other person comes with their best intentions. Just asking if I’m okay and saying you are there is enough. If I feel I’m being pushed into talking about it I might shut off even more, I’ll share when I’m ready.

I get anxious when I feel I’m not reaching a timeline. But it’s even worse when I think my actions affect someone else personally or their work.

Areas of knowledge

Work-wise: Presenting complex information, learning and training principles, communicating to large audiences, asynchronous work best practices, org-specific onboarding, creating scripts for demo videos.

Life-wise: Disney movies, fiction books, making great lemon pies and apparently Greek mythology.

Areas of interest to learn

Anything I don’t know. Tech of course, but also how to think differently is very appealing to me.

Current personal project

My new year’s resolution was to read a book a month. I’m still optimistic.

Something I fear

Heights and not living life to the fullest (and birds but it’s a very unpopular opinion).

A quote I like

“Sometimes you have to inject yourself with some fantasy to not to die from reality.” I don’t think it’s a real quote though, but I like it.

How I eat fries

Happily. And with mayo or cheese. Or fried eggs. Or plain… fries are the best!

My sun, moon, and rising signs

Sun sign: Gemini Moon sign: Capricorn Rising sign: Taurus Ascendant

But I have no idea what this means, I literally just googled it.

Military Campaigns

Ramses the Great - The Pharaohs - The People

The Infamous Pharaoh who built many of the best known Monuments that remain standing today

Military Campaigns

Background: During the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten (the father of Tutankhamun) it appears that his mother, King’s Mother Tiye, took responsibility for all of Egypt’s Foreign and Diplomatic Policies. She was well versed in this role as she had supported her husband, Pharaoh Amenhotep III, with Egypt’s Foreign and Diplomatic Policies during his reign. But during this period, she had all responsibility because her son was not interested in pursuing it at all. How do we know this?

After King Mother Tiye’s death it appears that Pharaoh Akhenaten simply could not or would not take on her long held Diplomatic role. For he disdained the previously strong adherence to Foreign Policy and allowed lands to be taken especially by the Hittites in Syria and Canaan. But he went further. He reduced the Military, the Defences and ceased Foreign Militaria Campaigns. Furthermore, he refused to support any of them with Gold or reinforcements.

This led to the ravaging of Egypt’s borders until Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s General, Horemheb, began to take back control after Akhenaten’s death. This legacy still held strongly with the Egyptian people which is why they turned to the army after Tutankhamun’s successor Ay died without a strong familial successor. General Horemheb became Pharaoh Horemheb and appointed his own Head of the Army as his Successor, Pharaoh Ramses I. Father of Pharaoh Seti I and grandfather of Pharaoh Ramses II. This explains why both Seti I and Ramses II were so keen to undertake, succeed and then display their numerous Military Campaigns on their Temples during their reigns.

Campaigns: Immediately on Ramses II’s ascension the Hittite’s took advantage of the perceived lack of strength in the Throne and began their invasions, capturing the border Canaan city of Kadesh. Ramses focus soon shifted to the restoration of the Northern and Southern borders of Egypt and to ensure that all Trade Routes were secure. To do this in the most efficient way, Ramses started building his new Capital City, Pi Ramses, in the Delta region of Egypt which gave him faster access to his Norther Borders.

In Regnal Year 2 Pharaoh is known to have repelled an attack on the Nile Delta borders of Egypt by the Sea Peoples who at the time were referred to as Pirates as they were consistently hijacking cargo ships which were en route with goods to Egypt. This group were well known within Egypt as they had been harassing most of the Mediterranean Coast for some time. Pharaoh Ramses II saw a usefulness in co-opting these Pirates and bound them into the Egyptian Army. They were sent to the outposts on the Hittite Frontier and were involved in the Battle of Kadesh. We know about these details from the Stela’s that Pharaoh Ramses II had created in Tanis and Aswan. The Tanis Stela states, “the unruly Sherden whom no one had ever known how to combat, they came boldly sailing in their warships from the midst of the sea, none being able to withstand them”. The Sherden was the name given to the Sea Peoples at the time as many of them came from Sardinia.

By Regnal Year 4 Ramses was ready to venture north to recover the lost lands, mainly in southern Canaan, that had been captured or rebelled against their agreements with Egypt since his father’s death. But this expedition was not only about recovering what he felt was his lost provinces. It was also a mission to setup the trade and military routes he would need to face his strongest foe, the Hittites. He was successful in this campaign and ceased his ventures at the Al-Kalb River which today is near Beirut, Lebanon. One story from this Campaigning Year involved Pharaoh personally fighting against a Prince of Canaan, beating him, and taking him back to Egypt as a high value Prisoner.

The infamous Battle of Kadesh took place in Regnal Year 5 and ended with the first Peace treaty in History being agreed upon, a copy of which now graces the entrance to the Security Council UN building in New York, USA. Pharaoh Ramses II’s copy was included in his building of the Great Temple at Abu Simbel. To learn more about the Peace Treaty, click here. To understand the full details of the Battle of Kadesh, click here, but my shortened version is as follows.

Pharaoh Ramses II marched out of Pi Ramses with about 20,000 men who were divided into 4 Divisions of the Infantry and the Chariotry, named after the Gods: Amun, Ra, Ptah and Set. Whilst leaving a section of his Army to secure their return route, the main Army marched on. About 13km from Kadesh the Army divided into 2 to scout round the City of Kadesh. Pharaoh’s 2 Divisions passed through a forest inside which their scouts captured 2 spies. The spies lied to the Egyptians telling them that the main body of the Hittite’s army was away from Kadesh, while really the Hittite army was hiding behind the city.

Ramses learned of this betrayal from the interrogation of a further 2 captured Hittite spies and sent out messengers to hurry his 2 diverted Divisions to his aid just before the Hittite’s attacked with the Pharaoh being isolated from much of his failing army.

The 2 Divisions managed to reach the battle and together the Hittite’s were forced to retreat inside Kadesh. After this neither army could continue without risking an all-out defeat for themselves due to heavy casualties so both sides retreated.

After 16 years of continual military incursions by both sides into the disputed middle and between their nations, a Peace Treaty was concluded in Pharaoh’s 21st Regnal year. This World’s First Peace Treaty was to last between the two powers for nearly 100 years!

However, Pharaoh was not only needed to protect his northern borders, he also spent time in Military Campaigns alongside his sons, especially in Nubia to the south which was colonised into the Egyptian borders but revolts and plots were frequent as the locals wished to gain their independence once more. The Temples at Abu Simbel, one of the farthest southern remains of ancient Egyptian culture, are thought to have been built here, in part, by Pharaoh Ramses II to awe the local Nubian communities into obedience. Especially considering the artwork and reliefs inside his Great Temple are all to commemorate his great military victories!

A stoic Queen Elizabeth is known for her 'big laugh' behind palace walls

By Bianca Farmakis|

Queen Elizabeth II has a reputation for being a powerful presence in times of crisis, from her stoic speeches to her "Keep Calm and Carry On" mentality.

But behind the walls of Buckingham Palace, a royal reporter has revealed the Queen can be quite prone to fits of laughter.

Sally Bedell Smith, author of Elizabeth the Queen: The Life of a Modern Monarch, tells PEOPLE Her Majesty is "much livelier in private" than what we're led to believe.

In the book, Smith quotes a royal aide who claimed Queen Elizabeth "has a big laugh", that could be heard throughout her country estate in Norfolk, Sandringham.

Impressive, considering the rural residence boasts 775 rooms.

Royal biographer Clive Irving, author of The Last Queen, previously told Today Extra the Queen "seems more modern" than younger members of her family.

However, Irving remains baffled, despite chronicling her life extensively, that the "most significant" thing about the Queen is how little we know about her.

"We don't know her opinions on anything, we don't really know her feelings on anything," he explained.

"People may tell you how she feels, but they don't really know."

Her Majesty has been known to have her comedic moments over her 65-year long reign.

In April 2006, the Queen's inspection of the passing-out Sovereign's Parade at Sandhurst left one cadet in stitches.

Royal author claims Prince Charles is an 'entirely unsuitable' king

Prince Harry, then serving in the military, burst into fits of laughter at his grandmother's presence.

In 2014, the Queen famously "photobombed" two Australian hockey players, where she was clearly pictured smiling over the shoulder of the two athletes behind a chain link fence.

For the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics, Her Majesty even joined James Bond in a sky-diving mission, allowing her face to be imposed over a stunt person as the figure descended from the sky.

The clip, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Danny Boyle has been viewed over 12 million times on YouTube since.

Her Majesty is also known to boast a dark sense of humour from time to time, declining to take a seat on the famous Iron Throne from Game of Thrones during a 2014 visit to Belfast.

Executive producer of the show David Benioff said at the time: "Apparently the Queen of England is not allowed to sit on a foreign throne."

The Queen is no stranger to self-deprecating humour, despite being one of the most powerful figures in the world.

During a dinner in Malta, in 2015, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted that the Queen had told him he made her "feel so old" after pointing out he was the 12th Canadian leader to serve under her reign.

Trudeau later tweeted that the Queen is "forever young" in his eyes.

In 2016, the Queen was delivered two bunches of lily of the valley flowers - known for being used as a poison - following the Chelsea Flower Show.

Herb gardener Jekka McVicar told Hello! at the time Her Majesty said "perhaps they want me dead."

More recently, the Queen's dressmaker Angela Kelly has spoken about the monarch's ability to strike a "series of poses, slipping her hands in and out of her pockets, mimicking the stances of a professional model."

Who could forget the iconic image of Her Majesty showing off a dress that had pockets?

Queen Elizabeth II, in residence at Windsor Castle, appears on a screen via videolink, during a virtual audience to receive the US Ambassador, Jane Hartley, at Buckingham Palace on July 19, 2022 in London, England.

What happens when a tenant breaches the lease but refuses to vacate the apartment

It is not a simple matter to evict a delinquent tenant who refuses to leave the apartment. The owner must approach the Court. A lengthy investigation follows, after which the Court may order eviction. However, in the meanwhile the tenant is able to stay in the apartment rent free and without paying for utilities, such as arnona, electricity, water, gas and house dues. It is possible that the Court will order the tenant to pay the rent and damages, but these often do not cover the owner's full financial loss.

An amendment was made to the Israeli Law, enabling the filing of a claim for eviction in accordance with a special shortened procedure. However, this procedure only deals with the eviction of the tenant, not with damages or unpaid rent. The landlord can, without getting further permission from the Court, file a separate claim for damages in the appropriate Court. In certain cases it is possible to obtain the court order in the shortened process within 60 days of the filing of the claim. The procedure starts with the submission of a claim by the owner accompanied by affidavits and other necessary documents. The tenant has a right to file a statement of defense within 30 days.

It is important to ensure that the original lease includes a clause requiring the tenant to pay damages if he/she breaches the lease.

Who Is CRI Genetics?

CRI genetics is a reputable ancestry analysis service that uses a DNA test kit to provide the answers you might be looking for with this process. This service leverages Dr. Alexei Fedorov's experience and a proprietary DNA analysis algorithm to offer a biogeographical ancestry report.

The report constitutes evolutionary and geographical history about your ancestry timeline and some critical insights about yourself you didn't know beforehand. In addition, the CRI genetics website is simplified and straightforward, making searching for your family history easy.

These genetic tests offer more value than just being a rearview mirror that gives details about your history. Instead, the CRI genetics DNA test provides a clearer picture of any health and wellness tips you might need to take careful note of in the future.

How Does The CRI Genetics Test Work?

This DNA testing service offers an uncomplicated experience to its test kit users. You can quickly obtain the test online, and it gets delivered to your doorstep. You must follow the instructions and safely return the samples to the DNA testing labs.

The DNA sample will reveal your ancestry analysis and offer helpful health and wellness tips. CRI genetics leverages DNA data extracted from a simple cheek swab you do at home. Despite the simplicity of this test kit, it has proven to be very effective within its respective domains.

Dr. Alexei Fedorov has proven his ability to produce accurate genetic reports from this DNA kit he designed to be compatible with his genetic analysis algorithm. The DNA test results allow you to know more about yourself and your ancient ancestry without going to testing clinics for genetic tests.

What Does The CRI Genetics Testing Kit Include?

The CRI Genetics DNA testing kit is not a one-trick pony but offers more value to its users. Its features give users essential insights about themselves from a simple mitochondrial DNA test.

What is the full scope of this company's testing kit?

CRI Genetics

Ancestry test

One of the main features of CRI Genetics' DNA test kit is producing your ancestry results. The results include a detailed analysis of where your ancestors migrated to and the traits they passed down from one generation to another.

This test, in particular, can go back in history for up to 1,000 years to uncover in-depth ancestral information. Therefore, the search parameters of CRI Genetics include discovering recent ancestry and older generations.

Users can individually opt for an advanced test or go for both of these testing services to get a more accurate understanding of their generational heritage. In addition, a traits report can also get added to the DNA samples test results.

CRI Genetics

Weight loss test

Know which foods to avoid or cut back on by getting accurate weight loss reports from CRI Genetics and taking an ancestry test. The weight loss test maps out any genetic markers of being predisposed to getting overweight or suffering from illnesses caused by poor weight management.

In addition to the weight loss reports, this test's results have suggested meal plans following the DNA tests and their respective results. This test is convenient because you can understand what physical aspects you inherited from your ancestors.

It is one of the most practical tests offered by this company since you can use the actionable insights to make some changes to your lifestyle. In exchange, you get to live healthier and improve your quality of life by implementing the suggestions generated by this test.

CRI Genetics

Allergy test

Do you suffer from allergies but are not entirely sure what the trigger is? CRI Genetics can help uncover potential allergens that could trigger an undesired reaction. This test is an evidence-based method of discovering what could be causing allergy symptoms.

The test results detail potential hereditary allergies that might have also bothered your ancestors. However, despite feeling connected with those ancestors, you can also take practical steps to minimize or eliminate exposure to those allergens.

As a result, you get to live a better life that is more satisfying with minimal health complications.

CRI Genetics

Health and wellness test

The health and wellness test covers a wide range of genetic tests. When using genetic information, this test generates health reports that reveal critical insights about your nutrition, sleeping patterns, and even the impact of caffeine on your body.

With such crucial insights from these health reports, you can make the necessary adjustments your ancestors did not have the time or opportunity to give attention to changing. In addition, informing yourself about health and wellness can help flip the script when managing hereditary conditions.

All information uncovered through this test can get passed down to coming generations, which could help them better manage such conditions.

How To Purchase The CRI Genetics Testing Kit

Getting your hands on the CRI Genetics testing kit is also very simple. There are no unnecessary complications throughout the customer journey, and the consumer support provided by this company is world-class.

Purchasing this testing kit online

The test kit is available online on this company's official website. You can also pay on the website by signing up for an account that will get linked to your DNA tests. There are primarily two options for buying this test kit.

CRI Genetics offers the ancestry test alongside health and wellness results or as a standalone. Opting for the complete package with health and wellness tests offers much more value than uncovering your biogeographical ancestry.

How much does the CRI Genetics test kit cost?

This testing kit is affordable since you can get the ancestry kit for just $99. In addition, the complete package with more reports that can help with practical lifestyle changes is available for just $199. The latter option adds more value to users since it generates more than 120 health reports.

How To Use The CRI Genetics Testing Kit

What should you expect after buying the testing kit? The process is also still straightforward. First, you must do the test yourself using the enclosed instructions on the packaging. From then, the lab will do all the heavy lifting to get your accurate results back. Let's break down the entire process for you:

Testing yourself at home

After purchasing the kit, it will get delivered within a few days, and you must do the test carefully for the best results. The test is primarily a cheek swab with a specimen swab and plastic container. Rub the swab against the cheek wall and seal the specimen quickly to prevent contamination.

Sending back the specimen

After testing yourself and sealing the specimen, use the post-paid envelope provided in the test kit to ship the sample back to CRI Genetics.

You don't have to worry about arranging a shipping method because everything is pre-planned for a convenient customer experience. Just follow the instructions when testing yourself at home and when you are sending back the specimen to the labs.

Registering for the testing kit

For you to purchase the kit, there is an online account registration process that you must follow. The online account will entail all the details you need in one place. Therefore, you don't have to register or sign up again after sending back the test specimens.

Everything gets set from when the kit is first purchased, including contact information for when the results are ready.

New kit delivered if DNA sample can't get analyzed

What if the test results are inconclusive? CRI Genetics offers a new test kit whenever needed due to inconclusive test results. The CLIA-validated testing methods this company implements ensure that the test parameters are of a high standard.

That said, it only makes sense that this service offers a free kit when the results are unclear due to insufficient DNA information on the swab.

The Pros And Cons Of The CRI Genetics Testing Kit

What are some of the pros and cons of the CRI Genetics testing kit?

  • Advanced ancestral algorithms
  • Value-added benefits testing (health & wellness, traits, and weight loss test)
  • Quick turnaround
  • Great customer experience
  • Evidence-based testing process

  • DNA specimens could potentially get damaged during transit

When And How Will I Receive My Results?

After sending the specimen back to the lab, what happens? The lab will run the sample on its state-of-the-art software backed by advanced algorithms to reach conclusive results. From then, the results will get availed to you.

Eight-week efficiency guarantee

Upon returning the samples to CRI Genetics, you will have to wait up to 8 weeks before receiving your results. However, if it takes longer than eight weeks, this company has a money-back guarantee.

Fortunately, the lab aims to wrap up your findings quickly, so this period could be shortened to just a few weeks, depending on the number of tests getting handled by the lab.

Digital reports

You don't have to expect results to get mailed back again using snail mail. Instead, everything gets condensed into an online dashboard. The results can be accessed online using the login details you used to sign up to purchase your testing kit.

The relevant results you ordered will get detailed on this online dashboard. In addition, using an online dashboard reduces the time it would take to compile hard copy files and ship them back to you.

Is The CRI Genetics Test Accurate?

Given the data provided by your DNA swab, CRI Genetics provides a research-grade report using CLIA testing standards to ensure accuracy. The results are accurate for up to 5 to 7 generations.

However, you can also get a timeline report of more generations than that using biogeographical ancestry insights.

Will CRI Genetics Keep My Information Private?

Once the samples return to the lab, everything gets serialized to protect your personal information. Therefore, there is no telling that you are behind the tests conducted on your sample.

From then, the details get sent to the serial number corresponding with your online account, which will get used when you access the results. Once the results are uploaded, they get protected by 256-bit SSL encryption. So the bottom line is that your information gets safeguarded by some of the highest security standards.

How Does CRI Genetics Compare To The Competition?

What significant differences are there between CRI Genetics and the competition when compared side-by-side? Let's take a look below and see which service comes out best.

CRI Genetics vs. AncestryDNA

AncestryDNA is the best in business within this sector. Their product offerings offer a wide range of insights more than CRI Genetics. However, CRI Genetics provides more information about health & wellness than this competitor.

You can opt for a more diverse AncestryDNA test since this service has three different affordable plans. Also, this competitor focuses extensively on familial relations, so if that's your primary objective, CRI Genetics could be overkill for you. However, the pricing for both these services does not have that much of a difference.

CRI Genetics vs. 23andMe

23andMe uses a different testing mechanism than CRI. Instead of requesting a cheek swab, 23andMe collects actual saliva and tests it for ancestry and personal traits. Unfortunately, there is not much diversity in the types of tests available. There is only one package that tests ancestry and intrapersonal traits.

Users can discover DNA relatives from around the globe using 23andMe, but there is not much data on health & wellness. Overall, 23andMe's inconvenient sample retrieval method is not worth it's metal as it has limited result options to consider.

CRI Genetics vs. Family Tree DNA

The Family Tree DNA testing kit reveals some crucial insights. Instead of just offering Y DNA tests that search for paternal lineage, this testing service also offers maternal line tests. You can trace back relatives to the past 5 to 7 generations through the autosomal test.

Although there is more diversity in product offerings, this service does not provide scientific evidence on health & wellness. CRI has a competitive advantage because its services combine genetics with the risk of being predisposed to specific health conditions.

CRI Genetics vs. Living DNA

Living DNA stacks up pretty well when compared with CRI Genetics because this service focuses primarily on how the human race is affected by genetics on conditions such as lactose sensitivity and so forth.

Therefore, these services prioritize users' well-being while providing helpful ancestry information. In addition, the pricing for these services is also quite similar, which makes it hard to ascertain which one has a competitive advantage.

CRI Genetics: Frequently Asked Questions

Do you still have some questions about the services provided by CRI Genetics? Here are some frequently asked questions that could answer some of your queries.

Can I find relatives?

CRI Genetics does not match DNA results with other users or databases. Instead, it provides accurate historical timelines and geographical population outlooks, so you can't use the CRI test to find dead or living relatives.

How many generations does CRI Genetics go back?

For recent, accurate reports, CRI takes you back 5 to 7 generations, but the ancient history it provides could go back to at least 1,000 years or 50 generations.

Does CRI Genetics show Native American ancestry?

There are some historical insights into Native American ancestry. However, it is still hard to pinpoint the exact specific tribes within this lineage. For this, you’ll need a specific DNA test for Native American ancestry.

Who owns CRI Genetics?

Dr. Alex Mulyar co-founded CRI Genetics, and Dr. Alexei Fedorov developed the science that powers it.

How does the 8-week efficiency guarantee work?

If the test results do not return within eight weeks, CRI offers a money-back guarantee. CRI Genetics will refund your payment for the kit if this company does not live up to its promise.

Does insurance cover tests?

Unfortunately, genetic information is generally not covered by most insurance providers. Get in touch with your insurance provider to inquire about the possibility of taking a genetics test with CRI to get an accurate viewpoint on this matter.

The Bottom Line

If you want to learn more about your ancestry and get some details on how their genes affect your life today, CRI Genetics has the perfect solution. Through its DNA testing kit, you can get accurate insights into your ancestral timeline.

At the same time, you can get health & wellness tips with meal planning for the perfect diet according to genetic insights. In addition, this test reveals any allergies you might have. These practical insights can help you make the right lifestyle tweaks right now for a better quality of life and overall health.

Lucy, Pablo and Kalvin

~ Lucy, Pablo and Kalvin ~

Two years ago, Lucy welcomed Pablo and Kalvin into her life. Since then, they have all been through so much together but have also achieved so much together.

At the beginning of 2020, Lucy met Kalvin, a 10-day-old goat kid. As soon as she held Kalvin, she cried at how small and soft he was. It was definitely love at first sight. Without a doubt in her mind, Lucy adopted him then and there. Then, not long after that, she wanted to adopt a friend for Kalvin, and so, Pablo was welcomed into their family.

Within the last two years, Lucy has faced some challenges. From a break-up to moving to somewhere new for work. It was difficult for her to go through so much change. However, Pablo and Kalvin were a bit of light during those dark times. They were Lucy’s rock through everything and gave her a reason to get out of bed every day and never fail to bring a smile to her face.

Something that Lucy, Pablo and Kalvin enjoy doing is simply spending time together. From eating ice lollies or watermelon to being active, like jumping on a trampoline or going for a walk. Being able to spend time with each other means a lot to them and being able to snuggle up together after a long day is just the best.

To Lucy, Pablo and Kalvin are like her children. They mean the absolute world to her and they all share so much love and happiness. Pablo and Kalvin’s antics, such as sneaking sips from Lucy’s coffee when she’s not looking, never fail to brighten her day.

On the 31st of January the Danish government decided to terminate the COVID-19 regulations due to a recommendation from The Danish Ministry of Health. The ter-mination of the regulations was received by the Danish populace with mixed feel-ings for various reasons. One reason was that the regulations were part of the Danes' lives for two years and the termination was therefore cause for relief. Another that due to the fact that the infection rate was at its peak, which meant that the risk of getting infected was high. The ascending infection rate sparked an interest and curi-osity which led to the writing of this paper, regarding how people who have a fear of getting infected and/or infecting others would be affected by the termination of these regulations. This led to interest in how and if this would affect individuals diagnosed with OCD. Especially because some of the regulations had similarities with the symptomatology of OCD, such as a focus on hand sanitization. For these reasons the main purpose of this thesis is to get an understanding of how individuals diagnosed with OCD have experienced the termination of the COVID-19 regula-tions. To shed light upon this phenomenon the following problem statement was formulated: How can one understand how individuals diagnosed with OCD have experienced the termination of the COVID-19 regulations by using the method of Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). To further understand this phenome-non, the following sub-questions were formulated: Which influences does the termi-nation of the regulations have on mental health among individuals with OCD? And to what degree does personality traits and coping strategies affect these individuals' management of the termination of the COVID-19 regulations?
The method chosen to collect empirical data was an online survey with qualitative questions and to analyse the responses of the participants the method of IPA was applied. By using IPA, the following themes were identified: Regulations, Mental Vulnerability, Psychological Diagnoses, Treatment, Personality Traits and Coping Strategies, Family and Uncertainty.
The conclusions of this thesis are as follows: The termination of the regulations have been experienced differently among the participants, where some have experi-enced relief, and some distress, while others have experienced relief and distress simultaneously. Furthermore, the treatment of these individuals has been challenged by the changing regulations, and the risk of getting infected by the virus. Some of the participants have experienced a higher level of distress which possibly led to medical treatment. Additionally, the participants have shown a higher level of the personality trait neuroticism and a lower level of extroversion which is consistent with earlier conducted studies. The personality traits appear to have negatively af-fected the way the participants have experienced and handled the termination of the regulations. In addition, it has been identified that individuals with a comorbid di-agnosis tend to use negative coping strategies. Finally, it has been identified that the participants have been influenced negatively by the uncertainty brought by the pan-demic and by the risk of infection which has caused worries concerning family members.
Given the unfamiliarity of the phenomenon and the lack of studies, further research is necessary to get a better understanding of how individuals diagnosed with OCD have experienced the termination of the COVID-19 regulations and how it has af-fected their mental health.

Contextualisation of cross-national comparisons Most social scientists agree that it is necessary to analyse social phenomenon in context. However, the notion of context is most often used loosely and arbitrary. Therefore, this article invites to reconsider the notion of contextualisation, and it is argued that a contextual approach entails that social relations must be given primacy in the analysis of social phenomenon. A contextual model is developed in order to understand the marked differences in female labour force participation in Denmark and Italy. It is argued that we find low female participation rates in Italy due to a familial social system (traditional family, residuel welfare state, closed labour markets) which corresponds to a centripetal female orientation, while we find high female labour force partici-pation in Denmark due to a contractual social system (dual family, institutional welfare state, open labour markets) which corresponds to a centrifugal female orientation.
