The answer just might lie in the sunny Caribbean, a destination filled with enough sun and sand to put the sizzle into every love life. You'll find the islands dotted with romantic resorts but when it's time to get out and do a little sightseeing, where are the best places for lovers to explore? Here are some favorites with romantic-minded travelers: Diamond Waterfalls and Gardens, St. Lucia. Blooming with tropical splendor, garden trails lead to the Diamond Waterfalls, a cascade that leaves a spray of "diamond" twinkles in the air. If you stop by on a Sunday, you can also enjoy a soak in the mineral baths originally built by French King Louis XVI for use by his troops. The Baths, Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands. This beach is littered with massive granite boulders as smooth as riverbed stones. They form shadowy caves perfect for a clandestine kiss. Y.S. Falls, Jamaica. Although the north coast's Dunns' River Falls is far more visited, these secluded falls offer couples a much quieter paradise. Cascading in steps through tropical forest, the falls can be climbed with the help of a guide then swimmers can enjoy clear waters under a canopy of ferns. Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. Dotted with historic sites and rich with the atmosphere of Spanish conquistadors, here couples can stroll hand-in-hand where lovers have literally walked for centuries. The most recognized site in Old San Juan is Fuerte San Felipe del Morro, a fort better known as El Morro. Boca Tabla, Curaçao. Pounding Atlantic waves carved this sea cave. Kneeling in the darkness of the sea cave, you'll watch the surge of crystal blue waves as they come within feet of you, roaring into the cave and back out to sea. West End, Negril, Jamaica. Negril's famous Seven Mile Beach gives way to rugged cliffs on its west side and here visitors find one of the best sunset lookouts in the Caribbean. Every day, crowds arrive at Rick's, one of the region's best known sunset bars, for the chance to watch another island day draw to a close. South Peninsula, St. Kitts. Until a few years ago, this stretch of land was accessible only by boat. Today a modern highway makes the island's most beautiful, pristine beaches accessible. Keep an eye out for the vervet monkeys that live in this remote region. Natural bridge, Aruba. This symbol of Aruba marks the line where tumultuous sea waves crash against the windward coast. Walk out on the bridge for a cool sea spray and a breathtaking view. Paradise Point, St. Thomas. Aboard ski-lift gondolas, you'll rise to one point that never sees snow: the top of Flag Hill for a view of the Charlotte Amalie harbor dotted with cruise ships. Gondolas ascend to the point from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. every day. Maracas Bay, Trinidad. About an hour from Port of Spain, the drive to this area is a treat in itself, winding through the Northern Range with views of forests where species such as howler and capuchin monkeys, ocelot, Amazon parrots, and wild pigs can be found. The beach at Maracas Bay offers a full day of fun and is the place to see and be seen in Trinidad.

While it is difficult to give a complete and adequate definition of justice, most observers can recognize clear examples of serious injustice when they arise. Such injustice comes in various forms, wherever the norms of distributive justice, procedural justice, or human rights are violated. Some actions, such as theft and murder, are commonly recognized as unjust by governments and prohibited by domestic law. However, there are also systemic forms of injustice that may persist in a society. These traditions and structures give rise to profound injustices that can be difficult to recognize. In some cases, these unfair conditions are imposed by the ruling party itself, whether it is an authoritarian government or an outside aggressor. Those in power sometimes use the state's legal and political systems to violate the political, economic, and social rights of subordinate groups. Political injustice involves the violation of individual liberties, including the denial of voting rights or due process, infringements on rights to freedom of speech or religion, and inadequate protection from cruel and unusual punishment. Such injustice often stems from unfair procedures, and involves political systems in which some but not others are allowed to have voice and representation in the processes and decisions that affect them. This sort of procedural injustice can contribute to serious social problems as well as political ones. If voting or litigation procedures, for example, are perceived to be unjust, any outcome they produce is liable to be unstable and produce conflict. In addition, any procedures that are carried out in a biased manner are likely to contribute to problems of religious, ethnic, gender, or race discrimination. When the procedure in question has to do with employment or wages, such issues can lead to serious economic and social problems. Economic injustice involves the state's failure to provide individuals with basic necessities of life, such as access to adequate food and housing, and its maintenance of huge discrepancies in wealth. In the most extreme cases of maldistribution, some individuals suffer from poverty while the elite of that society live in relative luxury. Such injustice can stem from unfair hiring procedures, lack of available jobs and education, and insufficient health care. All of these conditions may lead individuals to believe that they have not received a "fair share" of the benefits and resources available in that society. Even more serious than the injustices discussed above are war crimes and crimes against humanity. During wartime, individuals sometimes perform acts that violate the rules of just war set forth in international law. When soldiers engage in wars of aggression, attack non-combatants or pursue their enemies beyond what is reasonable, they commit not acts of war, but acts of murder. However, these are not the only injustices associated with war and protracted conflict. Such conflict can also lead to severe human rights violations, including genocide, torture, and slavery. These crimes violate individuals' most basic rights to life and physical safety. When political or legal institutions fail to protect individuals' fundamental rights and liberties, members of the unjustly treated group feel disempowered. They are likely to view the institutions that impose such conditions as unjust, and thus find themselves in the midst of a justice conflict. If the subordinate group believes that it lacks the power to change things through political or diplomatic means, it may conclude that the only effective way to pursue justice is through violent confrontation. However, such confrontations tend to produce even more injustice. In addition, because the dominant group typically has more power to inflict harm, such struggles often fail. Therefore, violence is often an ineffective way of addressing injustice, and many believe that it should be used only as a last resort. Responding To Injustice Many scholars and activists note that in order to truly address injustice internationally, we must strive to understand its underlying causes. These causes have to do with underdevelopment, economic pressures, various social problems, and international conditions. Indeed, the roots of repression, discrimination, and other injustice stem from deeper and more complex political, social, and economic problems. It is only by understanding and ameliorating these root causes and strengthening civil society that we can truly protect human rights. There are various ways to address the political, economic and social injustices mentioned above. Whether a response proves to be appropriate and effective depends on the nature of the grievance. Addressing political injustice is often a matter of developing institutions of fair governance, such as an accountable police force and judiciary. Legislative action and executive decision-making should likewise be held accountable. Such measures are sometimes a matter of reforming state institutions or revising state constitutions. In cases where some groups are excluded from political participation, the state can remedy violations of political rights by promoting political inclusion and empowering subordinate groups. Public decision-making should respond to the will of the citizens, and members of the society should have the opportunity to participate in the formulation, execution, and monitoring of state policies. In other words, a culture of political involvement and public participation should be fostered. In addition, there are various social structural changes that might give groups more social, economic, and/or political power. This is often accomplished through the strengthening of the economy and civil society in conjunction with democratization efforts. In some cases countries require outside assistance for election monitoring, nation-building programs and the development of governmental infrastructure to make their political system more stable. Addressing systemic economic injustice is often a matter of economic reforms that give groups better access to jobs, health care, and education. In many cases, lack of access to basic services stems from enormous inequalities in resource distribution. Redistribution of benefits and resources can thus be an important component of social structural changes to remedy injustice. There are various institutional and economic development reforms that might be put in place to raise living standards and boost economic growth. In addition, by creating social and economic safety nets, states can eliminate tension and instability caused by unfair resource allocation. For example, development of programs that provide assistance for the poor, pensions for the elderly, and training and education for workers help remedy injustice, tax reform, giving workers the right to unionize and demand a fair wage, advancing ecological policies to protect and preserve the environment, and improving access to land ownership can also help in particular cases. Balancing out gross inequalities in wealth might also be part of compensatory justice after periods of war. During periods of postwar adjustment and peacebuilding efforts, long-term economic policy must aim to achieve equity, or balance in the distribution of income and wealth. Such efforts to ensure a just distribution of benefits following conflict are typically accompanied by democratization efforts to ensure a more balanced distribution of power. When neglect of economic rights stems from the destruction caused by protracted conflict, countries may require outside aid to remedy injustice and avoid future instability. Humanitarian aid and development assistance are often needed to help a society build its economic resource base and ensure that the needs of its citizens are met. Issues of distributive justice are in this way central to any reconstruction program that aims at economic vitalization and rebuilding post-war economic systems. Responding to War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity Severe violations of basic rights to life and physical safety are sometimes enacted through government policies or inflicted during the course of warfare. It is commonly recognized that government leaders and soldiers, as well as civilians, must be held accountable for perpetrating such injustices. International humanitarian law has been enacted to preserve humanity in all circumstances, even during conflicts. Various international committees are in place to monitor compliance with human rights standards and report any violations. When breaches occur, the perpetrators must somehow be brought to justice. According to the notion of retributive justice, past acts of injustice or wrongdoing warrant punishment. Those who perpetrate war crimes or crimes against humanity should be brought to justice. When injustices are committed in the initiation or the conduct of warfare, retribution is typically accomplished through international courts or tribunals that carry out war crimes adjudication. In other cases, human rights violations form part of national policy. Most believe that government officials should be held accountable for institution policies of apartheid, forced disappearance, torture, or genocide. Such breaches are typically brought to the attention of international tribunals or tried in an international court. Punishment is thought to reinforce the rules of international law and to deny those who have violated those rules any unfair advantages. In addition, many believe that punishment deters other would-be offenders from committing similar crimes in the future. However, international law and adjudication is often insufficient to address grave injustice. When breaches do occur, they are brought to the attention of international tribunals or a war crimes tribunal. As conditions escalate in violence and more individuals are taken prisoner, tortured, or executed, it becomes more difficult to resort to the legal path. Some maintain that the vigilant observance of the international community is necessary to ensure justice. Various nongovernmental organization (NGOs), including Amnesty International and the International Commission of Jurists, are devoted to bringing injustice to light and pressuring governments to address the injustice. Historically, the United Nations has likewise played a central role in dealing with international justice issues. Many maintain that massive violations of human rights, such as genocide and crimes against humanity, warrant military intervention. If, through its atrocious actions, a state destroys the lives and rights of its citizens, it temporarily forfeits its claims to legitimacy and sovereignty. In such cases, outside governments have a positive duty to take steps to protect human rights and stamp out injustice. However, this sort of response is limited, because governments are often reluctant to commit military forces and resources to defend human rights in other states. In addition, the use of violence to end human rights violations poses a moral dilemma insofar as such interventions may lead to further loss of innocent lives. It is imperative that the least amount of force necessary to achieve humanitarian objectives be used, that intervention not do more harm than good, and that it be motivated by genuine humanitarian concerns. Otherwise, such interventions are likely to simply cause more injustice. Restoring Justice Once Conflict Has Ended A central goal of responding to injustice is paving the way for future peace. Once conflict has ended and policies of oppression have been repealed, society members face the task of rebuilding their society. Many believe that measures aimed at restorative justice are well-suited for this task. Restorative Justice is concerned with healing wounds of victims and repairing harm done to interpersonal relationships and the community. It can play a crucial role in responding to severe human rights violations or cases of genocide. Huge advances are made when governments tell the truth about past atrocities carried out by the state. It is thought that true healing requires remembering the atrocities committed, repenting, and forgiving. War crimes inquiries and truth commissions can aid in the process of memory and truth telling and help to make public the extent to which victims have suffered. Restoration often becomes a matter of restitution or war reparations. In cases where clear acts of injustice have taken place, some type of compensation package can help to meet the material and emotional needs of victims and remedy the injustice. Repentance can also help to re-establish relationships among the conflicting parties and help them to move toward reconciliation. In some cases, conflicts can end more peacefully when parties acknowledge their guilt and apologize than when formal war crimes adjudication or criminal proceedings are used. In cases of civil war, because the line between offenders and victims can become blurred, a central goal of peacebuilding is to restore the community as a whole. Restoration often becomes tied to the transformation of the relationship between the conflicting parties. However, such restoration cannot take place unless it is supported by wider social conditions and unless the larger community makes restorative processes available. Many note that an adequate response to injustice must involve social structural changes, reconstruction programs to help communities ravaged by conflict, democratization and the creation of institutions of civil society. Only then can the underlying causes of injustice be remedied.

If you work with Secure Shell, you will definitely want to check out the following tips to harden SSH on your ubuntu server. Working as a Ubuntu server administrator, you are more likely to use Secure Shell (SSH) for remote access to the server. As the name suggest SSH is relatively a secure protocol. However, we can make it more secure with a few steps. The aim of this article is to help you better lock down the SSH server. Don’t Permit Empty Passwords Permit Empty Passwords Firstly, make sure user accounts without passwords are not able to login. Some server administrators can create standard system users without a password. By default, SSH is configured to permit empty password. Now, open the SSH daemon configuration file with the following command: sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config Find the line with #PermitEmptyPasswords no Remove the comment as shown below: PermitEmptyPasswords no Save the configuration and restart the SSH server with the command below: sudo systemctl restart sshd Limit Max Authentication Attempts Max Authentication Attempts Frankly speaking, the best approach to preventing brute force attacks on your server is to limit the login attempts. To limit the number of attempts on login locate. #MaxAuthTries 6 Uncomment it as shown below: MaxAuthTries 3 Set Idle Timeout Interval Idle Timeout Interval Consequently, the idle timeout is how long an SSH session is allowed to be idle. However, when the timeout is set, the SSH connection will be broken whenever the time passes. By default, this option is disabled. In fact, I will enable the idle timeout and set the timeout to four minutes (240 seconds). Now, locate the line with: #ClientAliveInterval 0 #ClientAliveCountMax 3 And, uncomment the line as shown below: ClientAliveInterval 240 ClientAliveCountMax 3 Disable Root Login Disable Root Login To explain, the root account has the sudo privilege associated with it and it can dangerous if an unauthorized person has access to it. However, connecting to the server with an account that has the sudo privilege. Also, the sudo should be setup properly. On the other hand, let’s disable root login via SSH. In the SSH configuration, find the line with: PermitRootLogin yes Replace it with: PermitRootLogin no Change SSH Ports Change SSH Ports One other way to harden SSH is to change the default port. Thus, SSH runs on port 22 as by default. Mostly, hackers will target the default port. Changing it might prevent them from targeting you. It is not necessary to change the port but it is also a security measure to the hardening SSH server. In the configuration find the line with: Port 22 Then, change the port to another port like 2019 Port 2019 Whitelist SSH Users It is best to limit users allowed to login to the SSH server. Meaning only users in the list will be allowed to login to the server. And every other user will be denied access. Assuming, we want to allow john to login remotely through SSH. Add the line below to the configuration file. AllowUsers john Well, don’t forget to add your username to the list of AllowUsers. Fail2Ban Fail2Ban Configuration This software scans your logs and temporarily ban IPs with suspicious activities. To install it run the command below: sudo apt-get install fail2ban Once installed, make a copy of the configuration file as shown below. cp /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf /etc/fail2ban/jail.local Then, open your copy of the fail2ban configuration file nano /etc/fail2ban/jail.local Look for the line that starts with [sshd] and uncomment enable = true and edit it as shown below: [sshd] enabled = true port = ssh logpath = %(sshd_log)s Now restart fail2ban with the command below: systemctl restart fail2ban Accordingly, Fail2ban will now start monitoring your SSH logs for possible suspicious activities and then temporarily ban the source IP. I also have an article on how to configure denyhosts on ubuntu. You might want to check it out. Disable X11Forwarding This article is meant for use with remote servers. In other words, there is no need to use GUI on a remote server. Apparently, this allows any other user to tunnel GUI applications via SSH. So disable X11 forwarding on the remote server. In the SSH configuration file /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Find the line: X11Forwarding yes And replace yes with no as shown below: X11Forwarding no Use SSH Keys Apparently, you can SSH into the server with a username and password but with that, someone can brute force into the server. So, SSH keys can be used instead of passwords. Generate SSH Key Pair Now, let’s generate our encryption keys that come in pairs. Public and Private key. To generate the keys, run the following command on the machine that will be used to SSH into the server. ssh-keygen Well, you will be asked to enter passphrase to protect the keys. But, you can keep blank if you think it is not necessary. Truly speaking, unprotected private SSH keys can be used to access the server by anyone in possession of that key. Share Your Public Key Use ssh-copy-id to copy your public key to the server. ssh-copy-id john@192.168.10.4 You have changed your SSH port. Assuming, your SSH port is 2019 use the command below. Make sure you change the IP to the IP of your server. ssh-copy-id -p2019 john@192.168.10.4 Afterward, try accessing the server via SSH with the following command: ssh john@192.168.10.4 You may be asked to enter your passphrase. Thus, if you setup the passphrase during the key generation. If the command runs successfully, you should see a message similar to the one below: The authenticity of host '192.168.10.4 (192.168.10.4)' can't be established. ECDSA key fingerprint is ff:fd:d8:f9:66:f6:73:84:e1:56:cf:d6:ff:ff. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? Your answer should be yes and you should access the server without entering a password. Disable Password Authentication Eventually, we can now disable password authentication on the server. Since we have established SSH keys authentication. Open the SSH configuration file and find the line: PasswordAuthentication yes Then, change it to: PasswordAuthentication no Displaying Banner Usually, banners are some form message or a statement saying “unauthorized access is not allowed”. Sometimes, the banner message contains legalese which turns to warn or scare hackers. Frankly speaking, this doesn’t add any security to the system, because anyone who manages to access your system won’t care about the warning sign but it might give the hacker a chuckle. By default, banners are disabled on Ubuntu 18.04. Banners are normally displayed before authentication meaning anyone trying to SSH into the server will see the banner. Well, to see the banner you need to enable PasswordAuthentication. To add a banner, edit the SSH configuration file and then uncomment: #Banner /etc/issue.net After that, try accessing the server if a wrong user account: ssh fake_john@192.168.10.4 You will receive feedback similar to the one below: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS fake_john@192.168.10.4’s password: Apparently, you can customize this message by editing /etc/issue.net file. nano /etc/issue.net ########################################################### # Welcome to Anansewaa.com # # # # Note that All connections are recorded and monitored # # # # Disconnect IMMEDIATELY if you are unauthorized user! # # # ########################################################### This message will make the hacker think of what he/she is doing before messing around. Conclusion Hopefully, you have found this article a bit helpful on how to harden SSH on your server. There is much more to learn about SSH.

When you’re a woman going through addiction treatment and beginning your life in recovery, you already face immense challenges. Being a mother can compound those because you may want to repair the damage you feel occurred during active addiction. You may also want to make up for the lost time. Simultaneously, the recovery process is hard work, so prioritizing is critical as you navigate parenting in a new world for you. The most important thing you can remember is that no one is a perfect parent. Despite your struggles with addiction or mental health, if you show your children love, that’s ultimately what will stand out to them throughout their lives. You have to show love and compassion for yourself, too, particularly as you are navigating a new situation and new season in your life. The following are some things to know about being a parent in recovery from a substance use disorder and how to become a positive role model. How Addiction Affects Families While it’s emotionally challenging, a big part of true recovery recognizes how your addiction affects your loved ones. Loved ones can include your children, mainly if they are old enough to understand what’s happening. When you can confront these psychological effects head-on, you’re in a much better position to begin to work through them. Once you leave treatment, you hope you can put the past behind you. While you may be able to put your substance abuse behind you, it’s essential to recognize the lingering effects of being an addicted parent and work to repair those as part of your recovery journey. It’s challenging to maintain a peaceful or loving home when you’re experiencing alcohol or drug addiction. There may be a lot of conflicts, erosion of trust, and communication can become frustrating. Along with these effects impacting your children, they could also affect your spouse or partner and other people who love you, such as your parents or siblings. You might have behaved in a way that would otherwise be out of character for you when you were under the influence of drugs or alcohol or exhibiting addictive behavior. Psychology Today estimates 1 in 5 children grow up in a home with a parent who abuses alcohol or drugs. Exposure to substance abuse is a form of trauma, and children who grow up experiencing substance abuse in the home are more likely to develop their substance use disorders when they’re adults. Children’s personalities are developing during this time and are highly susceptible to what’s happening around them. When you decide to get treatment, that’s an essential thing you can do to change these dynamics. As you choose a rehab program like residential treatment, look for one specifically for women and mothers. These programs will allow you to participate in therapy that focuses on rebuilding your relationships with your children and family and reducing the trauma they might have experienced. Look for a facility that emphasizes relationships and helps you connect with the resources you need to be a great parent in recovery. Too often, mothers become discouraged. They feel the damage is done, and there’s nothing they can do; that’s untrue. While substance abuse by a parent can affect children, they’re also highly resilient. You ultimately want your kids to see you as someone who worked hard and overcame challenges. That’s what you have the opportunity to demonstrate after treatment. Below are some practical tips to be a better mother in recovery. Forgive Yourself Understanding the impact of addiction isn’t about continuing to hate yourself or feel shame, and parents in recovery have to know this. Instead, it’s about recognizing past challenges and then being able to move forward through that honestly. To be the best version of yourself for your children, forgive yourself. If you participate in a program with a 12-step foundation, there is a path to make amends for past behavior and start again as part of your addiction recovery. When you can forgive yourself, you aren’t just helping your children and family dynamic. You’re also reducing your risk of relapse. Shame and guilt are so interwoven with substance use and addiction. You have to work to rebuild your self-esteem and understand that you are more than your mistakes and addiction. Set Boundaries If you feel guilt for things in the past, you might try to be too permissive in your parenting. Permissive parenting is problematic for children, particularly as they get older. Not having firm, healthy boundaries can put your children at a greater risk of developing their own SUD. Rather than making up for anything by eliminating boundaries, create a loving and healthy relationship with your children that centers on limits. Your children need that discipline and structure. You want to be a role model rather than a friend. Along with setting boundaries, resist the urge to try and buy affection with gifts. Your children are going to thrive when they have stability and consistency. You can create routines that focus on spending quality time together rather than buying affection. Rebuild Trust If your children are older, they may have lost trust in you during your active addiction. You may have been unable to keep your word, or you might not have been around or shown up for your children in the way they needed you to when dealing with a drug or alcohol use disorder. Now is when you can start to rebuild that trust. Again, consistency is key here. You should also show up when you say you will and prioritize family time. Consider going to counseling with your children, so you can relearn how to bond with one another. Take Care of Yourself Practicing self-care is vital in recovery. Parents in recovery may be dealing with so much physically and mentally during this time. Self-care isn’t selfish. Self-care gives you the chance to take care of yourself to give more to your children. When you practice self-care, you’re also setting an example for your kids about healthy coping skills. Self-care is one of the critical life skills you can and should integrate into your daily life. Be Mindful Mindfulness is something that every parent can benefit from practicing—it’s not exclusively beneficial if you’re in recovery. When you’re a parent, no matter the specifics of the situation, it’s stressful. You may have so many worries about the past and the future. Practicing mindfulness brings you back to the moment. You’re able to remember how important it is to focus on one day at a time. Everyone practices mindfulness differently, but bringing yourself back into the moment if you’re struggling is one of the best coping mechanisms you can learn in recovery. Being mindful is suitable for managing things that come your way in everyday life and dealing with symptoms of mental health issues. Ask For Help Finally, there’s certainly no shame in asking for help when you need it, particularly for single parents. Maybe you have parents or friends who are willing to give you the support you need, even if it’s just providing a listening ear. Don’t be afraid or embarrassed to ask for help. Over time, the more you put the steps above into practice, the more confident you’ll feel as a parent and the stronger your relationship with your children will be. In your parental role, you want to model healthy behavior and life experiences for your children, and knowing when to reach out for help is part of that.

So, why is that? Limen means threshold. A threshold is any place of entering or beginning. The idea is that liminal space exists in the time between what was in your life and what’s next. There’s a sense of uncertainty in this season of waiting and transition. While that uncertainty can create anxiety, there can be power in this time. Without liminal space, we’re unable to transform. You’re moving out of the familiar and into the unknown. You’re leaving your old world behind but perhaps unsure of what your future existence looks like. It’s only within liminal space that you can genuinely emerge with a sense of newness. When you don’t accept liminal space or encounter it, you’re going to be stagnant. Your old life or world becomes what you see as normal, so you can’t move forward in recovery. The Thresholds of Recovery Liminal space or liminality can feel like a free fall in some cases. You could be looking around thinking, “what now,” or “what’s next.” You might be shifting in terms of not just active addiction to recovery. Other shifts can include your relationships, your career, or perhaps the logistics of your life, such as where you’ll live. It’s incredibly unsettling to enter these transitional spaces. You have to walk through the doorways available to you to reach the moments that will ultimately define your life. Along with addiction and recovery, other examples of liminal spaces in our lives include job changes, a sudden loss like a death or divorce. Those events are inherently not positive and are devastating, but you do have the opportunity to move forward and make a positive shift. Often, with addiction, we tend to tie our drug or alcohol use to who we are. That’s our identity. The use of substances shapes everything we know and believe about ourselves. In a rehab program, you work to give up that old identity, leading to grieving, which is normal. You’re not only giving up the person you believed yourself to be and grieving that loss, but you also grieve the loss of drugs and alcohol. Through that grieving, liminality becomes the space to decide who we will be and what our lives will look like going forward. After completing treatment or when you begin recovery, you may only know that life won’t be the same and that you’ve gone through a shift as a person, but you may specifically know what that’s all going to look like. You stop being on autopilot in your life, however. You can change your perspective of yourself and the world and truly break those old thought patterns. Navigating the Unexpected Recovery is a challenge. We won’t sugarcoat that for you. There are going to be significant ups in your sober life, but also downs. Some days are going to feel harder than others, and you’re also going to have to accept the reality of the unexpected. Going to treatment should help you learn healthy ways to work toward unexpected scenarios. To deal with the time, you spend in that liminal space and to approach the unexpected healthily, remember the following: Acknowledge how you’re feeling. It’s okay not to have all the answers right away, nor should you. You should have a sense of preparation that you’re going to navigate what life throws your way. That preparation comes from the coping skills you learn in treatment, which is why it’s crucial to choose a rehab program that’s going to give you what you need for the future. Ask for help. We can work with you to create a support plan if you find yourself in a potential danger zone during rehab. Too often, people leave treatment with the misconception that they no longer need help or support from others and can be strong and do it independently. This is a mistake, and when you know when to ask for help and who to turn to, you’re going to be able to deal with unexpected or unpredictable situations more effectively with various lifestyle support options. Develop a routine. As you leave rehab and re-enter daily life, having a routine helps you avoid potentially harmful situations and make healthy choices. Having a pattern gives you a sense of control, even when things around you might not be within your control. Know what your triggers are. Our treatment team works a lot on this with everyone who comes through our doors. You have to learn what your triggers are to put in place ways to respond to them. Develop a new mindset. Your mentality needs to center around health and wellness. Prioritize those things that are part of this wellness-driven lifestyle. For example, prioritize eating well, exercise, sleep, and attending therapy and meetings. Set realistic expectations for yourself, especially in those earliest days of recovery. Don’t be too hard on yourself, and make sure that you’re creating small, achievable goals along the way. ​​ Continuing Care As Part Of Your Treatment Plan Again, we can’t emphasize enough how important it is that your treatment plan includes aftercare. If you don’t go to an evidence-based treatment center and you’re thrown back into daily life without a solid aftercare plan, your chances of relapse are high. Your treatment team should have already developed a customized plan for aftercare. You should have an idea of your triggers and how you’ll confront them with specific methods that work for you. Your team may help you assess your living environment before treatment and see how it contributed to your substance abuse. You might move into a sober living house, or your treatment team could help you determine another supportive option for a new living environment. Continuing care beyond your living environment can include participation in ongoing therapy. You might do outpatient rehab, for example, or perhaps an intensive outpatient program. You could also do family therapy. Continuing care may include assistance with employment and housing, as well as education or parenting classes. If you started a 12-step program during treatment, you could continue that or another type of addiction support group. Overall, expect a period of adjustment after rehab and in recovery. Continue to focus on recovery as your top priority, and know that you’re well on your way to achieving your long-term goals despite being in that transitional, liminal space. If you haven’t received treatment, we encourage you to call 866-600-7709 and explore the programs at Anchored Tides Recovery, which help you achieve both short and long-term goals. Addiction Recovery liminal space Recovery Signs of Love Addiction The signs of love addiction can be hard to spot at first. If you’re someone with love addiction, you may initially just see yourself as someone who loves love. While that’s not always a problem pathological love can lead to negative consequences and destructive relationships for some people. There are similarities between love addiction and other types of addiction, including substances like drugs and alcohol. Disorders That Occur Along with Love Addiction Love obsession tends to be a co-occurring condition. When you have a co-occurring disorder, you have symptoms of two or more mental health conditions. For example, you might feel that you show signs of being addicted to love in addition to depression or anxiety. Substance abuse is also a relatively common co-occurring disorder with pathological love. We should point out that this condition is controversial. Some experts feel that everyone has an element of “addiction” when they love someone. Romantic relationships can and often do have periods where you might feel emotional distress. However, a true compulsion to love goes well beyond what we see as usual in a relationship. For example, if you’re in a relationship where you’ll give up everything else for that person, it could be a problem. The most significant complication of experiencing this type of compulsive romantic behavior is that you may find yourself in an abusive or toxic relationship. What is Pathological Love? Love addiction or pathological love isn’t as medically well-defined as some other types of addiction. When someone is experiencing disruptive or harmful symptoms or consequences because of their romantic relationships, their mental health care provider has to distinguish these from other conditions. For example, in borderline and dependent personality disorders, the symptoms can overlap with pathological love. Suppose you’re someone with an addiction to love. In that case, you can become fixated on the person you’re interested in at any given time and develop emotional dependencies or a lack of control. You might behave compulsively toward or about that person. You can then act on unhealthy behaviors because of your fixation. What Type of Disorder Is Pathological Love? There’s not a current agreement on what type of disorder love addiction really is. For example, pathological love can be considered an impulse-control disorder. With an impulse-control disorder, you are always seeking new experiences and behaving impulsively to get them. Some researchers believe pathological love is more in line with a mood disorder. For example, you have feelings similar to mania when you’re in the early stages of love or beginning a new relationship. Then, as the relationship progresses, you might experience symptoms of depression. A third possibility is that being addicted to love could be part of the obsessive-compulsive spectrum. You may experience intrusive, repetitive thoughts just as someone with OCD would, but they’re about your romantic partner or finding love. Of course, as the name implies, having a compulsion to find love can be most like a behavioral addiction too, such as gambling; you don’t have to take a substance, but the characteristics are similar. Early on in a relationship, you might have intense pleasure and euphoria. Then, over time, those experiences might become dull. You might need more of these love experiences to feel anything similar to a dependence on drugs and alcohol. What is Sex Addiction? Sometimes, we talk about sex addiction along with love addiction, it’s not currently in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Despite not being included in that, it’s still diagnosable. This offshoot occurs when someone seeks out multiple sexual partners to the extent that it interferes with their daily life, activities, and functionality. If you have a sex compulsion, you might not be able to control your behavior, despite severe consequences. Your sexual relationships are your primary focus, and your sexual behavior can become more extreme over time. Sexual addiction can occur along with love addiction, but it doesn’t have to. Characteristics of Sex and Love Addiction Always looking for your soulmate Constantly searching for an intimate relationship Thinking the intensity of sex or the newness of a relationship is the same as love or real intimacy A chronic pattern of seduction, sex, or manipulation to get the interest of potential romantic partners Having an intense fear of abandonment Breaking promises to yourself about not returning to harmful relationships Choosing partners that require a lot of attention or you to fill a caretaker role Always needing to be in love Being happiest during the so-called honeymoon phase of a relationship Obsessing over the idea of romance or romantic interests Putting romantic partners on a pedestal The inability to be alone Requiring emotional comfort from a partner and extreme dependency Having cravings to be with your partner Experiencing euphoria or emotional highs when you’re with a partner When you begin a new romantic relationship, it’s normal to feel excited about being with the person, and you may miss them when they’re away. You may obsess over your partner to the point that it causes harm to your relationship or your well-being. You develop dysfunctional patterns. For example, you may seek out the affection of someone who isn’t responsive to you emotionally. You could also find yourself more likely to be in abusive relationships. Why Do People Have Love Obsessions? As is the case with other mental health disorders, including substance use disorder, the underlying factors of love addiction are probably complex. Again, we all need and desire to feel love, but what is it about some people that makes this problematic for them? Trauma, genetics, family history, and environment all probably factor in. Someone with an obsession to finding love or keeping it may also stem from low self-esteem. For example, if you have low self-esteem, you may seek out your sense of self-worth from romantic partners. You could also deal with the signs of love addiction because you have abandonment fears from your childhood. If you feel like you have an emotional void, you could use romantic partnerships to fill that. You may think that being in love brings value and excitement to your life. Unfortunately, that puts a lot of pressure on your partner. You may not have boundaries, and you’re more likely to find yourself in a codependent relationship. Love and Substance Abuse As we talked about above, love addiction can and often does occur with other mental health disorders. You may be searching for love in unhealthy places. You might also seek the highs that love can bring, making you more likely to find similar experiences through substance use. Additionally, if you have a relationship that falls apart or consistently in unhealthy relationships, you could cope with the negative feelings with drugs or alcohol. Over time, you may experience a void and a sense of shame. There are many elements of being addicted to love that you can’t fix on your own, but treatments like cognitive-behavioral therapy can be beneficial. If you or a loved one struggles with love or sex addiction along with a substance use disorder, we encourage you to reach out to the Anchored Tides Recovery team at 866-600-7709 to learn about our treatment options. We approach treatment holistically to help put you on the best path to recovery, a fulfilling life, and healthy relationships. Love addiction Recovery Creating an Alternative Identity to Being an Addict When you struggle with drug abuse, it can feel like you lose your identity, and the world just views you as “an addict;” you may even view yourself this way. However, you are more than the mistakes you have made; that’s why when you’re in recovery, building an alternative identity to being an addict is so essential. You are more than your addiction, and when you’re in recovery, you can start to find who you are once again. You might have lost your sense of self along the way, but it’s exciting to get to know who you are without the stigma of addiction. What is Your Identity? We all have questions about who we are. For example, you may question what you are presently and who you’d like to see yourself as in the future. Our identity is incredibly complex. Our identity includes our relationships, who we were as a child, as a parent, and who we are as a partner. It can also involve those characteristics we can’t control, such as our appearance. For many people, identity encompasses religious beliefs, moral attitudes, and political beliefs as well. How Drugs Affects Your Identity Our identity is already complicated; adding a drug habit to that makes it even more so. There are several key ways addiction can affect your identity. First are the short-term effects drugs or alcohol have on your feelings, actions, memories, and behavior. Over time with drug and alcohol use, you may also start to experience declines in your self-worth because you’re not moving forward or progressing in your life the way you’d like to or the way you expected to. When you have a substance use disorder, you may start to internalize your symptoms. Those become who you are, in your mind. Rather than identifying yourself as a complex person, you might only see yourself as a drug abuser. Self-identifying only or primarily as a drug user is going to make you fall deeper into your addiction. You may not believe you’re worth anything more because you believe that is just who you are, and that can serve as an excuse for you to keep using substances even with increasing negative consequences. Your addiction may be part of your self-identification for years because everything in your life eventually revolves around the substance or substances in which you’re addicted. As you work to get treatment and overcome your disorder, what can actually happen is that you feel like you’ve lost part of yourself because of how many substances were your identity. Some of the beliefs that could come along with your disorder include: The idea that sober people are boring The priority is getting high or drunk You’re more creative when you use substances Some types of music may be associated with the use of substances You don’t trust health care or mental health professionals You celebrate with substance use People often hold an “us against them” mentality with substance use disorders Not comforting to society or even criminal behavior are something to be admired in this mindset Why You Need an Alternative Identity to Being an Addict When you stop using drugs or alcohol, you may go through what’s sometimes described as a grieving process. That’s because you feel as if you’ve lost part of yourself, which was the drugs. A big part of your recovery depends on rebuilding a new identity and letting go of that identity. You may have a hard time finding who you are again. It can make you feel vulnerable, especially when the people around you seem to have a clear sense of identity. It’s okay to acknowledge that you feel confusion or even embarrassment or shame. That’s a good starting point that you can use to start rebuilding who you are. When you’re honest with yourself about what you’re feeling, it gives you the chance to start making decisions about what you want to become. It’s also okay to feel like there’s a void in your life when you’re in recovery, at least initially. How to Create an Alternative Identity to Being an Addict While everyone’s journey is going to be unique, some of the things that you might keep in mind as you leave behind your “addict” identity and explore who you truly are, including: Consider who you surround yourself with. You might meet new people who are also sober when you’re in treatment or through a support group. The people that we surround ourselves with make a significant impact on our lives and who we are. Our self-identity, in some ways, comes from the people we’re around. This is why when you’re in recovery, you may have to find a completely new social circle. You want to spend time with people who will be a healthy influence on you and begin defining your identity. Along with social relationships, particularly with sober people, maybe you want to think about how you can rebuild relationships with your partner, your children, or your family. For example, you might begin to focus your identity on being a caretaker to your children. What is your career field? Is it time to think about making a change? When you come out of a treatment program, you might work with career counselors who can help you get on a path toward a career that’s more fulfilling for you and that can very much become part of your identity. It’s likely that after you go to treatment and you begin your life of recovery, you find you have a lot of time on your hands. That’s that that was probably before focused on using substances and recovering from their effects. Now, you can start to redefine how you use that time. You can begin to explore hobbies, interests, and passions. The things we’re interested in are part of what makes us unique individuals. Volunteering is a great way to define your identity and move toward a more positive path in your life. When you volunteer, you’re not just helping other people. You’re helping yourself, and you’re giving yourself a sense of purpose. Try to practice self-love and self-care every day. Substance abuse creates such a sense of shame, and you have to re-learn how to love yourself and care for yourself. What’s the biggest takeaway we hope you get from this? No matter where you are in your journey, you are more than your addiction. You’ll have to learn more about yourself and who you are without the influence of substances, but that’s such an enriching part of the addiction recovery process. While at first, you may mourn what you feel like you’ve lost, you’ll eventually start to celebrate what you gain as you become the person you envision, rather than someone trapped in a specific identity by an addiction. Shedding the Stigma of “Being an Addict” Getting back to living a normal life when you are in recovery is a process. There are aspects like feeling judged or not being able to live down your past that can make sobriety even harder. Anchored Tides Recovery believes you are not your mistakes; you are who you are, and for any woman looking for help shedding the identity of “being an addict,” we encourage you to reach out to us for help at 866-600-7709. addiction in women Addiction Recovery Alternative Identity to Being an Addict Recovery Benefits of Having a Social Worker in Your Support Group Your support group is one of the most important resources you have in recovery; you will have a better chance at maintaining long-term sobriety if your group is strong. Most people on your team will be friends, family, or even other people in recovery who understand your struggles, but don’t you agree it would be good to have someone on your side that can help with issues beyond cravings. One professional who can play a valuable role as you’re navigating recovery is a social worker. Social workers are trained to help you solve and cope with problems in your everyday life. The benefit of a social worker being in your support group is that they can also serve as a resource for you to rebuild your life and to thrive. Anchored Tides Recovery Center has social workers on our staff to help with issues beyond the basic addiction troubles. Situations like career-related issues, custody, living arrangements, and more. These are the sorts of services that help us stand out from all of the other treatment centers, in a good way. What Does a Social Worker Do? A social worker has a degree in social work and is trained to work with individuals to solve, and cope with, problems that arise in their daily lives. A clinical social worker can also diagnose and treat behavioral, emotional, and mental health issues. In general, some of the specific things a licensed social worker might do includes: Determining the needs and strengths of individuals then help them develop goals Assisting clients to adjust to challenges that exist in their lives, including addiction recovery Referrals to community resources like healthcare and childcare services Crisis response during mental health emergencies Continual follow-up with clients to check in and see if they’re meeting their goals and their lives are improving Providing therapy services Within the larger category of social workers are other areas of specialty. For example, bachelor’s social workers (BSW) and (MSW) will work with community organizations and policymakers to create programs that benefit the community on a more significant level. Both have degrees in social work education, a BSW has a bachelor’s degree and a MSW has a master’s degree; once an MSW has a certain amount of hours of clinical experience they can become a (CSW) and a (LCSW). A clinical social worker (CSW) or licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) require a master’s degree and can provide individual or group therapy. They can work with clients and other health care professionals to create customized treatment plans. Some social workers specifically help people with mental illnesses and substance use disorders; they can help their clients find support groups and other programs and rebuild their lives. The Consequences of Addiction on Daily Life Social workers are multifaceted as far as their services and the benefits they can provide to clients. This is important when discussing a substance use disorder because of how far-reaching the effects are on every aspect of a person’s life. Once you go to treatment, you may find that there is a lot of work to do to get your life back on track the way that you envision it. Some of the ways that addiction can affect your life include: You may be facing legal problems; if you’re charged with a crime because of your substance use disorder, you may have to go through the court system and pay fines or face other punishments. You might have family-related legal matters; for example, you could have lost custody of your child, or you may be going through a divorce. You may have financial problems or have lost your job as well. Your relationships may have been deeply affected by addiction; Your loved ones may be hurt by what happened during your active addiction, and they might have lost faith in you or trust. You could be dealing with chronic health issues resulting in, and you may need regular medical care and treatment. You may have ongoing mental and emotional side effects from your addiction, even if you’re sober. Many people with a substance use disorder have a co-occurring mental health disorder. Co-Occurring Mental Health Disorders It’s worth talking about co-occurring mental health disorders and substance use disorders on their own because this highlights the benefits of a social worker. A co-occurring disorder is when someone has two or more either mental or physical health disorders. Substance use disorders are strongly correlated with mental health disorders. Around half of the people with substance use disorder will develop at least one mental health disorder in their lifetime, and vice versa. There are three reasons that doctors and researchers believe this might be true. The risk factors for substance use disorders and mental health conditions often overlap with one another: For example, trauma exposure, abuse, and genetics play a role in substance use disorders and mental health disorders. Self-medicating: Someone with a mental illness might use substances to deal with their symptoms. Changes in the brain stemming from substances: The parts of the brain most affected by the use of substances are associated with the areas that relate to mental health disorders. The Benefits of a Social Worker in Addiction Treatment and Recovery The above factors highlight the benefits of a social worker in treatment and recovery from substance use disorders. Social workers are educated in mental health, and they can also specialize in helping clients with substance use disorders. An addiction social worker understands psychology and psychiatry, biology, and physical health. They are also connected with the safety net of social services in the community where they work. A trained social worker knows a balance and connection between mental health, behavior, and physical health. They can also oversee the different services included in an addiction treatment plan like counseling and medication. Specific benefits of a social worker in addiction include: Assessment: Before a social worker begins treatment, they will conduct a complete evaluation that will help them understand each of the factors that contributed to someone’s addiction and its effects. This allows them to create a very tailored treatment plan. Treatment plans: Social workers can oversee treatment plans that last for months or even years. Social workers collaborate with other providers in the delivery of treatment plans. Coping skills: Working with a social worker can help someone in addiction recovery learn new coping skills, such as stress management and conflict resolution. Resource connections: Social workers are well-versed in the various resources and systems available. They work within the system to help with bureaucratic or legal issues you might face; they can even connect clients with employers who are hiring. Social workers can be beneficial and empowering if you are dealing with addiction or you’re in recovery. They are part of a continuous aftercare plan for many people following treatment, and they can help you set and meet your goals. Seeking Help Long-term sobriety is a marathon, not a sprint; the process of getting sober and staying sober can sometimes last a lifetime.

Everybody deserves to be happy and in good mental health, but this may seem impossible for someone with chronic drug addiction.

However, anyone battling addiction can overcome their struggles by using the right tools and knowing their self-worth. Regardless of how you have fallen into the drug addiction trap, you can recover.

Whether you have been in recovery for years or are just starting on your journey, here are eight steps to a happy life that can help you become the person you were meant to be. 8 Steps to a Happy Life 1. Eat a Balanced Healthy Diet Healthy eating is part of a balanced recovery plan. It not only helps your body repair itself after a time of abusing alcohol and drugs, but it also helps keep your body healthy so you can remain abstinent. The recovery process is a long journey. Make it easier on yourself by eating lean meats, fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and of course, plenty of water. 2. Exercise Regularly If you want to eat healthier, sleep better, and rise more refreshed in the morning, regular exercise is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. Exercise can help curb cravings, reduce stress, and give you higher energy levels. A few adjustments to diet and exercise can help lead the way to success. You won’t regret spending time exercising regularly. 3. Practice Mindfulness Research shows that mindfulness can help people recover from addiction by overcoming negative feelings of guilt, anxiety, self-doubt, and stress. Mindfulness can also help people stay on track when they experience temptation. Meditation, journaling, breathing exercises, and other activities that can help you take an honest inventory of your journey toward sobriety will set the stage for a brighter future. 4. Explore New Hobbies Life is full of activities that could spark great feelings within you. Do your part to discover new hobbies to replace harmful old hobbies. You don’t even need to spend money, try to take up a new sport or activity that you think is interesting. Positive hobbies can help you form friendships with positive role models. Examples of hobbies that are proven to help people feel happier and be helpful in the early stages of recovery are: Gardening Photography Scrapbooking Journaling Hiking Knitting Painting 5. Learn Stress Management Techniques Good mental health is a work in progress, and living a happier life doesn’t always come easily. It’s crucial to have a plan in place, when you’re feeling stressed or have negative thoughts, to reduce the risk of relapse and cope with your negative emotions. Many recovering addicts use a technique called HALT. HALT refers to the following four situations that can lead to relapse: Hungry Angry Lonely Tired It’s also a good reminder when you’re feeling any of these things to take care of yourself, not to experience stress overload. 6. Make a Daily Schedule and Stick to it Daily habits have a significant impact on your overall productivity. When you know what needs to get done, making a schedule for your day is an easy way to get it all done. From squeezing in extra time to work out to manage your time away from work and school, a good schedule regularly has a profound, positive effect on your life. 7. Use Self-Love Affirmations Learning to love again after experiencing trauma can be difficult, especially when you’re learning to love yourself. Positive affirmations for self love are a great way to remind yourself of your worth. When you’re feeling down, recovery affirmations can go a long way in lifting your spirits, try to use this tool at least two times a day. Some examples of affirmations are: I am strong enough to choose sobriety; My recovery is working; I have what I need inside me to get sober; I am filled with love; I am stronger than my addiction. 8. Surround Yourself with Positive People Addiction is a powerful force, so choosing your friends wisely is an essential part of recovery. During the first years of sobriety, it’s best to surround yourself with positive and supportive people—people who will help you stay motivated on your journey. Even if they aren’t around you all the time, they will be there for you during challenges and hard times. Leading a Happy Life is a Choice you Make The most important thing you can do for yourself is to choose to live a happy life. Life is filled with millions of choices, but yours will ultimately determine how comfortable you are. Happiness is not the outcome of a good or bad situation but rather the result of our reactions toward negative or positive events. To lead a happier life, keep your thoughts and feelings in check, practice self-love, and find happiness in the small things surrounding your everyday life. Having positive thoughts about yourself can help you feel good and fulfilled. Despite alcohol or drug addiction, you are worthy of love and happy life.

Life in Recovery Recovery steps to a Happy Life Women in Recovery Relapse Definition: Part of the Addiction Cycle? The Relapse Definition The “Relapse” definition is commonly explained as using a drug after a period of sobriety, or the continued use of a substance despite it having been previously stopped. Falling back into the addictive behaviors of drug or alcohol addiction means you will have to begin the addiction treatment process again. Relapse prevention and coping skills skill can improved upon with time, effort, and relapse and training. This article will go into more detail about these coping strategies. Is Relapse Part of the Addiction Cycle? Relapse is a common part of addiction recovery, but is it an expected part of the addiction cycle? According to statistics, anyone who has recovered from substance use disorders will likely have a relapse. Most relapses in addiction occur in the first year. People in recovery must be aware of the most common triggers for relapse. How many people in the United States relapse after drug addiction treatment? A recent survey concluded that 35.8% of people who had received treatment for their drug addiction reported having used again while in early recovery, or within one year of quitting. One-third of those who return to active addiction was able to stay sober for only 90 days. But there are ways that we might be able to reduce the numbers and help addicts. Relapse Triggers Reviewing the possible triggers that may lead to relapse will help a person avoid those triggers and prevent a relapse into unhealthy behavior. Regression usually occurs because of one or more of the following reasons: Withdrawal symptoms Underlying mental health issues Keeping in the company of drug users Poor self-care Boredom and isolation Uncomfortable emotions Stages of Relapse The relapse process is a cyclical one; if you are not educated about the stages of relapse, you will not be aware of the warning signs and find yourself giving into cravings eventually. There are three stages through which drug addicts usually go through when they relapse. These stages vary from addict to addict, but there are common factors present in all of them. Emotional Relapse Emotional relapse usually occurs when you remember your first relapse as a drug and alcohol user. The SUD to drugs and alcohol is immediately triggered by a memory of using the substance for the first time in a particular environment or situation. It usually happens with recovering addicts who use drugs and alcohol in social situations, such as family, friends, parties, etc. Signs of Emotional Relapse Include: Suppressing emotions Attending meetings but not engaging Skipping meetings or group therapy sessions Focusing on other’s problems Isolation Over or undersleeping Eating problems Knowing how to avoid emotional relapse is the best way to stay successful after rehab. Recovery from drug or alcohol abuse is nearly impossible unless you know how to prevent emotional relapse and keep your body safe from addiction. Mental Relapse Mental relapse is a war within the mind. One side wants to eliminate negative emotions by using drugs and alcohol, while the other side doesn’t want to relapse. Resisting addiction relapse at this stage becomes more and more difficult as the sufferer retreats deeper into denial and isolation from their loved ones, mimicking relapse definition. Signs of Mental Relapse Include: Reminiscing about past drug and alcohol use and addict lifestyle Craving drugs and alcohol Lying or bargaining Thinking of ways to control drug and alcohol use Seeking out opportunities to relapse Planning a relapse Mental relapse is the most challenging time in recovery for the addict. They go through feelings of hopelessness and depression. It appears like they have lost everything. This is the time when they are at their most vulnerable and will need the support of their family and friends to help them get back on track. Physical Relapse Physical relapse is the act of returning to drug-seeking behaviors and may be accompanied by compulsively using drugs regardless of consequences. The ability to resist the compulsion can be impaired from prolonged drug abuse, repeated relapses, and episodes of being sober. The most obvious form of physical relapse is a return to drug use, but in some cases, it may occur in the form of a process not directly related to obtaining drugs. Experts say that physical progression is much more likely to happen if you “forget” to take your medications or otherwise get off your treatment program. This is often called “slipping” or going to “another level.” Breaking the Cycle of Addiction The road to recovery is not an easy one, but it is possible. And one day at a time, you’ll begin living a life you may never have thought possible. Deconditioning oneself from an addictive behavior requires commitment, motivation, and inner strength. Breaking the cycle of addiction is a tough job, but it can be done. The important thing to remember is that heroin addiction is not just a physical problem; it’s also an emotional one. It’s not unusual for someone who has become addicted to heroin to want to get clean and stay clean, yet find themselves unable to do so because they haven’t first dealt with all of their problems with love and support from family members and friends. If you are struggling with substance abuse or just considering whether treatment is right for you, it’s important to understand the benefits of choosing help. The risks of not getting treatment can be devastating – financially, morally, socially, and even physically. Anchored Tides Recovery offers support groups that focus on relapse definition and prevention. Please contact us today at 1-866-524-6014 and get on the road to recovery. Our program will help you, or your loved one, find alternatives to replace unhealthy behaviors and learn life skills to maintain long-term sobriety. Addiction recovery Resources Addiction Resources Recovery relapse definition The Power of Women Recovering Together Substance abuse, along with mental health disorders, will affect each gender differently. There are studies that show treatment has a better success rate when programs are tailored to gender-specific needs. These programs can remove some of the barriers and distractions that can arise from being around members of the opposite sex. It allows clients to feel more focused and comfortable and recover around peers of the same gender, allowing them to relate over experiences that are specific to gender. Barriers to seeking addiction treatment are usually gender-specific. Women and men can have different feelings when it comes to treatment, how the disorder affects the body and the stigma that is associated with treatment and substance abuse. Women are more likely to feel guilty for seeking addiction help and those feelings can create a bigger barrier to treatment. Women are also more likely to have experienced trauma leading to substance abuse or mental health disorders. Due to this, women need to undergo trauma-informed care. By choosing a gender-specific treatment, it gives a setting that is supportive, sensitive, and non-discriminatory. Women may be more unlikely to develop drug and alcohol problems but when they do, the process is usually quicker. Women tend to enter treatment programs with more severe medical, social, behavioral, and psychological problems. This has implications on the needs of treatment. There is a difference when it comes to gender and sex in regard to substance abuse. For example, men have an enzyme that breaks down alcohol in the liver and stomach and due to this, men don’t absorb as much alcohol in the bloodstream. This means a man’s alcohol concentration will likely be lower than a woman’s. It Removes Expectations Addiction recovery requires that you be vulnerable. Many women find it easier to be vulnerable and speak more candidly about the issue they are facing while in the presence of members of the same sex. There is no need to put up a façade to cover up feelings when you are with other women. Fosters Honest and Open Discussions An honest discussion about life’s highs and lows will help women understand they aren’t alone in the experience. Gender-specific addiction treatment reduces the shame and judgment and leads to more understanding and compassion. Many people will feel uncomfortable discussing traumatic and painful life experiences in a mixed group. It’s easier to feel comfortable around people that are similar to you. Feeling safe and comfortable in addiction recovery is important since true healing will only happen if you make yourself vulnerable and share your experiences. It Reduces Distractions The main benefit of addiction treatment is that it allows people to focus solely on getting better. When there are other genders then there are distractions, such as romantic ones. Although a romantic relationship can serve as a welcome distraction from what you are going through, it can actually be a distraction that takes the focus off of what you really there for. When women are with women, it reduces the need to keep up with appearances and feel the need to impress the opposite sex. For many, the gender-specific addiction treatment gives one less distraction so the focus is on just healing. Focus on Gender-Specific Issues Both women and men face pressures related to work, family, self-esteem, and relationships but those pressures can be different. With gender-specific addiction treatment, clients are surrounded by others who know from personal experience and what it is like to experience addiction as a woman, along with dealing with cultural and societal pressures. Clients are able to focus on a woman’s experience instead of having to split focus. For example, in women’s specific treatment, topics can include pregnancy, motherhood battles, and past trauma. Creates a Safe Environment Without a safe environment, treatment won’t be as successful. If a woman has suffered trauma caused by a man then they will not feel comfortable sharing in groups with men. Mothers who have an addiction will benefit from sharing expenses with other mothers since women are usually the caretakers of the family and home. It can be hard to be away from children but with the support of others like them, women are able to share in these experiences. It Helps with Bonding With gender-specific treatment, women can bond over shared experiences. There is also the opportunity to bond over new ones. Having a strong peer network is important for maintaining sobriety and preventing relapse after treatment. Gender-Specific treatment can incorporate activities that strengthen necessary connections outside of traditional group therapy. Importance of Women’s Treatment Programs Since women in addiction treatment are more likely to have experienced physical or sexual abuse, there is power in women recovering together. Women in treatment are less likely to have a high school diploma or employment. Women are also more likely to have to deal with childcare and the complications of drug or alcohol use during pregnancy.

Both of these pups have been raised at Anchored Tides and grew up handing out love and support to our clients. They have the wonderful ability to sense when a someone needs a little extra love, some playful puppy time, or just a companion to sit and hold space while they are processing something. Murphy’s favorite treatment activities are Lunch, Reiki, Process group, and sitting in on individual sessions. Bunny’s favorite activities are Lunch, DBT, and also sitting in on individual sessions. When they aren’t working, Murphy likes to play with her little brother (who is not a support animal), go on hikes, dig holes, sleep and eat. During Bunny’s time off, he likes to destroy squeaky toys, play with his nerf dog-gun and sleep. They (and we) believe that animals are essential in providing emotional support. Studies have shown that some of the benefits of having an ESA include enhancing calm and relaxation, alleviating loneliness, enhancing social engagement and interaction, normalizing heart rate and blood pressure, and reducing stress, pain, anxiety and depression. They are an important part of the holistic approach at ATR to make everyone feel loved and comfortable as they walk through their recovery journey. Katie van Heerden Clinical Therapist I am Katie van Heerden, licensed marriage and family therapist, currently conducting individual and group therapy at ATR using CBT and EMDR modalities. My passion for working with those struggling with addiction and mental health is a personal one. I, myself, grew up in a family system of addiction and mental health issues with little knowledge of what to do or how to recover. This drove me to further my education of mental health disorders, first by obtaining my BA in psychology from Cal State University Fullerton, then my masters in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University. While the knowledge I have obtained in school is extensive, my personal journey through life and all of its struggles have led me to the conclusion that anyone can recover if given 2 things: resources and support. When asked what keeps me going in this field, after 10+ years, I typically respond; “I am merely a farmer. I plant the seeds, nourish when necessary, and give space to allow growth.” Watching clients transform into better versions of themselves is not only rewarding, but inspiring. It is a “job” I never take for granted. Macy Miller Admissions Coordinator Being the first point of contact for women seeking aftercare for their recovery in alcohol and drug addiction; I am driven & passionate about helping them with their next steps. I have always been passionate about helping others & this position allows me to see those dreams come to life. You can always find me in nature during my self care time, usually hiking, roller skating by the beach, or surfing the waves. I enjoy music to feed my soul & get grounded. I lead a healthy & holistic way of living that I enjoy sharing with others.

No stranger to mental health and substance abuse issues in her family, she herself also struggled with addiction and moved to California to commit herself to treatment. She has been in long term recovery since 2010. After much success in the corporate world, she started a sober-living as a “passion project” to provide women a safe place as they re-enter the world as sober members of society. She noticed that there weren’t many aftercare programs dedicated to women’s sobriety or supporting them with the various co-occurring disorders that pop up once women are free from drugs and alcohol. So in 2016 she partnered with Amy to create a safe, therapy-focused place where women can heal from their addictions, trauma, and other issues while growing into who they were always meant to be. Becca is passionate about helping women realize their worth and supporting/helping them navigate the next steps of their lives, all while helping them feel secure on their road to long-term recovery.

Top companies covered are Mitsui Chemical , SABIC , Kaneka Corporation , Dow Chemical Company ,Clariant AG , ExxonMobil Chemical , Lanxess AG , , and more players profiled in plastic additives market research report The global plastic additives market size is projected to reach USD 74.61 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period. Escalating demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) amid the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to propel the growth of this market, states Fortune Business Insights™ in its report, titled “Plastic Additives Market Size, Share Industry Analysis, By Type (Plasticizers, Flame Retardants, Stabilizers, Impact Modifiers, Others), By End-Use (Packaging, Construction, Automotive, Consumer Goods, Others), and Regional Forecast, 2020-2027”. In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 89 million medical masks, 76 million disposable gloves, and 1.6 million goggles will be required each month to fight the pandemic. The need for PPE has only grown since March, with coronavirus cases surging in most countries. Plastic additives are playing a critical role in the manufacturing of PPE for frontline healthcare workers as these materials are easy to produce, are resistant to chemicals and toxic substances, and effectively prevent the transmission of the infection between health workers and patients. The soaring demand for this equipment has triggered innovation not only in large companies but also among small, emerging players. As per the report, the global market value stood at USD 46.59 billion in 2019. The report also features the following: Holistic assessment of the factors driving and restraining the market; Comprehensive analysis of all possible market segments; Careful evaluation of the key market players and their strategies; and Detailed research into the regional dynamics shaping the market growth. Restraining Factor Staggering Plastic Pollution Levels Worldwide May Limit Market Growth The plastic additives market growth is likely to be inhibited owing the uncontrollable level of plastic pollution facing the world currently. According to the UN Environment Program (UNEP), at present, nearly 300 million tons of plastic waste is generated every year. A team of researchers led by the University of Leeds in the UK estimates that 1.3 billion tons of plastic will be dumped on land and in the oceans between 2016 and 2040. The researchers also point out that even if immediate measures are put in place, 710 million tons of plastic waste will still be discarded into the oceans and on lands worldwide. Regional Insights High Plastic Production in China to Stimulate Growth in the Asia Pacific Market Asia Pacific, where the market size stood at USD 17.24 billion in 2019, is anticipated to hold a prominent position in the plastic additives market share during the forecast period. This is mainly attributable to the massive production of plastics and polymers in China, which accounts for roughly 30% of the global production of these materials. In addition to this, countries such as India and Vietnam are experiencing a rapid expansion of their domestic packaging industry, which is further augmenting the demand for advanced plastic derivatives in the region. Competitive Landscape Exciting Collaborations among Key Players to Enhance Market Potential To meet the rising demand for bio-based polymers and plastics, key players in this market are entering into exciting partnerships to develop and market eco-friendly plastic materials. Furthermore, a few companies such as BASF are expanding the applicability of plastic additives in less-explored domains such as infrastructure and construction.

Lighting plays an important role in creating a healthy and safe home environment, and per Lighting Research Center, the overall goal for home lighting is that it’s “comfortable, easily controlled and energy efficient.” Also, you want your home lighting to be visually appealing, practical, and to reflect and support your lifestyle. Since lighting technology is continuously evolving, there are more lighting options than ever before, from the efficiency and levels of longevity of a light bulb to the design of the fixtures and built-in lighting. Here are some tips and ideas to explore when considering home renovation lighting options to make your space brighter and more appealing: To start, think about questions like these: What do you wish to see and highlight in each room? What types of lighting do you prefer, and which ones do you definitely not want to see in your home? A good lighting plan and concept for your home includes creating three layers of lighting – ambient, task and accent. Each type will meet a particular need, as one type of lighting cannot do it all. Ambient or general lighting is intended to create a uniform light level throughout the room. Typically, when you step into a room and turn on a switch, ambient lighting will provide overall illumination of the space, and you can have it in many forms, including: ceiling-mounted or recessed fixtures directing light downwards; wall sconces or floor-lamp torchieres; cove, soffit and valance lighting bouncing light off ceilings and walls. Task lighting or targeted lighting will illuminate a specific area of a room, such as kitchen counter where food is prepared (with under-cabinet lighting); living room seating areas for reading (with a table lamp); home office desk surface (with a desk lamp), etc. Accent lighting or highlighting is intended to draw attention to a particular object, such as a painting, sculpture, plant or bookcase, often using recessed or track lighting with adjustable fittings; this will allow light to illuminate even a small object. When thinking about layering the light in any room, the first one to consider is typically the ambient lighting, then task and accent lighting – moving from general to specific. The most important thing to think about is how you use a space, and what you do in specific rooms. If a room is heavily task-oriented, such as home offices, the focus may be on task lighting first; if your hallway or your sitting room display a lot of photos or art, the first focus may be the accent lighting. As far as fixtures, there’s one for every need and style in your home – from integrated architectural solutions that require contractors and tradesmen, to decorative lamps that you can simply place on a table or floor and plug in to the nearest outlet. Architectural lighting is most often used as ambient lighting, and comes in three common types: cove, soffit and valance. All three are integrated into the structure of the room. Cove lighting is located in a ledge, shelf or recess on a wall, the light bouncing toward the ceiling or upper wall; soffit lighting is located in a soffit or cornice near the ceiling, the light radiating downward; valance lighting is located in a wood, metal or glass valance mounted above a window or high on the wall, the light bouncing both upward and downward. The technique of bouncing light off walls and ceilings, known as indirect lighting, is favored by many lighting professionals, since it minimizes shadows and glare. Recessed lighting is installed above the ceiling, in an opening that is flush with the ceiling. It requires at least 6 inches of clearance above the ceiling, as well as insulation to ensure that condensation does not drip into the fixture. Recessed lighting can be used to provide ambient, task or accent lighting. Track lighting is mounted or suspended from the ceiling; it consists of a linear housing with numerous heads with adjustable direction, and is often used for task or accent lighting. Pendant lights are suspended from the ceiling, typically over a table or kitchen island and direct their light down. Pendants can provide ambient or task lighting and can enhance the decorative style of your room. Finally, consider replacing an on-off switch with a dimmer – a relatively easy change that will provide not only energy efficiency, but will also create a totally different mood. As far as the type of light source – make sure you choose LED lights. They are less costly than they used to be, they offer that warm light that people love in incandescent bulbs, and they have a longer life.

What follows is a written account of Bukkit's story. If you'd rather know what the big news is, skip to the bottom. However, we'd appreciate it if you read through our entire story as it gives us an opportunity to show appreciation and give thanks to the many people, groups and companies that helped us throughout our adventure. When we started up Bukkit in December of 2010, we decided we wanted to do things right. Right from the beginning we wanted to be sure we were bringing about a positive change to Minecraft, one that Mojang themselves would approve of. To that end, we set up a meeting with Mojang to get a feel for their opinions on our project and make sure we weren't doing anything they didn't like. The gist of the meeting was that Mojang "liked what we were doing" but not how we had to go about doing things. Unfortunately, we both knew that we had no alternatives, so we continued along - albeit now with the reassurance that our project would most likely not be shut down any time in the future. We decided to create Bukkit to provide the Minecraft community with better tools to manage and extend their server, but our ultimate goal has always been to give the Minecraft community what it needed and wanted to make our favourite game even more enjoyable and being able to do so in an official capacity is our dream. Shortly after the launch of Bukkit, after I had posted an innocent announcement to get developers interested in Bukkit, our project exploded with activity. While I had anticipated developer interest and had planned for such, the added interest from the community as a whole was simply overwhelming. So much so that it had begun to put a strain on my dedicated server and actually was pushing it to the point of hardware failure. Luckily, it was around this time that Curse approached us and offered to set-up a temporary Amazon EC2 instance while they purchased new servers for our use. Unfortunately, the Amazon EC2 instance also could not keep up with the demand and was proving to be too costly. So, we asked around for help and Multiplay's Steve Hartland put us on one of their boxes free of charge while we waited for new servers to be purchased and delivered. One of the goals of the Bukkit project, or maybe just my personal goal, was to solve what I felt was a big problem within the Minecraft community: it was largely impossible for someone new to Minecraft to discover the unlimited potential of Minecraft modding. Not only would they have to deal with unwieldy and clunky forums, but there was also no central place for sharing your work. In answer to this problem, we endeavoured to create a new service dubbed Fill which we hoped would address all the needs of the community but were unable to gain any ground. We were simply not experienced enough to run something of this magnitude nor did we have the resources to pull it off. One day we were discussing the idea of Fill and our desire to provide a central download solution for the modding community and the WoW players on the team brought up Curse and the success they've had with WoWAce. At that point it all came together, not only did Curse have the resources to pull off something as large as we were envisioning in Fill, but they had the success, experience and scalable software with WoWAce to do so. With that, it was clear to everyone that Curse was the best route to take and dev.bukkit.org was born. When news broke out about Mojang organising a Minecon, the entire community was alight with excitement and anticipation. Even today, I still find the sheer dedication from the fans unbelievable and overwhelming. Though we were also excited about Minecon, there was no way we would be able to go since Bukkit is an open source, free project. Much to our surprise, though, Curse had other plans in mind. They decided to fly us over, cover our tickets and accommodation, host us in their booth and setup a panel for us. I've never met a company that cares more about gaming than Curse: when the possibility of their supporting the Bukkit project first came up, we were all blown away. Curse wanted to throw themselves behind our project. They wanted to provide us with the support and resources we needed to continue functioning, no questions asked and their desire to send us to Minecon further reinforced this opinion we had of them. Thanks to their support, we were able to go to Minecon, have a great time and put together a panel filled with our fans, as well as sneak off to a secret meeting with Mojang. Back in December of last year, my team and I were invited to Stockholm, Sweden by Mojang to discuss the future of Minecraft - and most importantly the future of Minecraft modding and the official Minecraft modding API. Having just recently met in Minecon, we mostly knew what to expect but were blown away by Mojang's hospitality and the surreality of actually being in Stockholm with them. Not only were we able to visit the Mojang HQ but we were also given the opportunity to be part of the launch of Cobalt (which was simply fantastic) and got to meet the entire team of talented individuals at Mojang. We spent the majority of our time with Mojang shooting ideas back and forth and getting a taste of what was to come and how we might be able to become involved. Which leads me to today. Our meeting at Minecon was just the beginning and after having flown us out to Stockholm to get to know each other, it was clear that the potential to do truly great things together was there and we were eager to explore it. After all, we had already been given a direct line to the Minecraft team, the source code and were actively providing Mojang with (exploit) patches and improvements. The next logical step was to figure out the best way to continue working together, perhaps in a more official and intimate capacity. After careful and lengthy consideration, the best course of action became clear. My team and I had already achieved what we wanted to when we started the Bukkit project: provide server admins with the means to easily customise and run their server and provide developers with an easy to use, properly designed API to bring their insane and cool ideas to life. The next obvious step was to make it more official and with news breaking out that Mojang was interested in developing an official Minecraft API, we knew just how to do that. I am extremely pleased and proud to announce that, as of today, the Bukkit team has joined Mojang. When discussing the possibility of a modding API publicly, Mojang was concerned that they would be unable to provide the community with a suitable and powerful enough solution and we honestly feel that our experience building Bukkit will help them do so. Thanks to our work with Bukkit, we have a years worth of experience, failures and lessons to help us develop a proper modding API and intend to do whatever it takes to produce one that satisfies the needs of the community. Now that we have an opportunity to design the official Minecraft API, we intend to make it a suitable replacement for Bukkit, if not a significantly better one, while bukkit.org will remain a community for modders for the foreseeable future. Official announcement from Mojang with more information: http://mojang.com A big "thank you!" is due for the many sponsors we've had over the life of the project: Curse eXophase.com - for hosting the project at the beginning and helping us get off our feet Unimatrix Arcdigital Multiplay - especially Steve Hartland AllGamer - especially Clinton and Scott Our Staff who work tirelessly and thanklessly to keep everything in order and, of course, Mojang for giving us a chance, taking us seriously and supporting what we’re doing. And to you, our community and our family: thanks for sticking by us through thick and thin, we really would not be where we are today without you.

WayGroovy, Feb 28, 2012 #23 Avarice likes this. Offline Sleaker please correct me if I'm wrong on any of these points but it seems like re-creation of a Fresh Server API into the official minecraft spells a few things: A) Bukkit as an alternative server mod will stop getting updates B) Due to official source not being GPL, Bukkit will be unable to pull current code into official source C) Due to official source not being Open any form of community involvement (such as bleeding) will not exist Now these are just observations based on the current situation. While I think it's great that the Bukkit team is being added to mojang and I congratulate you guys for your work, it seems like there are some very specific concerns that would prevent it from being community oriented and which ends certain aspects of community support and involvement as a lot of developers have come to know. Do we just stop issuing pull requests onto bukkit and/or helping support it since it's most likely getting phased away? These are some legitimate concerns that I think need to be addressed so we know what the future is about, especially after all this talk about improving community involvement in bukkit updates and such. Sleaker, Feb 28, 2012 #24 Fuzzwolf, BrandonHopkins, Olof Larsson and 14 others like this. Offline Sayshal Sleaker has a point. Not only that, but if support up to 1.2, what about 1.3? Will you truly be able to essentially re-create bukkit under the name "MineCraft API" in 2-3 months? If not what happens then? Will we have a "blackout" of bukkit while you guys work on the MineCraft API. Once again I am so excited about this news, but have some concerns. Sayshal, Feb 28, 2012 #25 Offline Forge_User_24169715 How is this going to affect the ModLoader/Minecraft Forge modding community? Almost every solid client (+server/bukkit ported) mod has been built using these and have done so for two years now. Are you going to incorporate and build upon the ML/MCF (hell, even Spout) APIs or are you going to be developing something completely new? The reason I ask is that I can see the modding community fracturing and losing a great deal of good devs and mods through this transition, as there are dozens, if not hundreds, of gigantic mods (such as IndustrialCraft 2, BuildCraft, RedPower, Aether, etc) that have grown and matured into solid expansions of the core game using these existing tools. Mind, an official Mojang client/server beast that incorporates ML/MCF client/server modding and a Spout-esque download/update mechanism would be the best thing ever! That aside, congratulations guys!

This section describes some techniques for performing analysis across data stored in multiple columns. For example, you may want to analyze combinations of height and weight. Some options: Consolidate dimensions to a single metric. For example, height and weight can be combined using a BMI (body mass index) calculation. Then, use available outlier analysis capabilities in Trifacta® Wrangler. Below, you can review a method for bringing together similar data from multiple columns into a single column for easier analysis. Flag outlier values of individual columns, perhaps giving each column a weighting factor (e.g. 0.5). Sum the outliers and their weights together. Defer analysis until the data has arrived in the target system. If you have homogeneous data across multiple columns, such as multiple individual events recorded in a single row, you can use a different method to calculate metrics. See Calculate Metrics across Columns. In some cases, you may need to identify outliers across multiple columns of data. For example, you have a dataset containing scores from three separate tests taken by a set of individuals. Your columns may look like the following: LastName FirstName TestScore1 TestScore2 TestScore3 You can download the Dataset-TestScores.csv dataset.Most calculations, such as standard deviation, work for a single column of data. To perform analysis across all three columns, you must reshape the above dataset to look like the following: LastName FirstName TestNumber TestScore This steps below outline the workflow for this example. The full recipe is provided at the bottom of this section. Steps: Load the TestScores dataset into the Transformer page. It should already be split out into five separate columns. The three columns listed side by side are data that has been organized in a pivot table. To break down this data, you must unpivot the data, which breaks down the data into a key column (containing TestScore1, TestScore2, TestScore1) and a value column, which contains individual test scores. Transformation Name Unpivot columns Parameter: Columns TestScore1,TestScore2,TestScore3 Parameter: Group size 1 Rename the generated column of test scores to TestScore. The numeric information in the key column values can be extracted using the following: Transformation Name Extract text or pattern Parameter: Column to extract from key Parameter: Option Custom text or pattern Parameter: Text to extract `{digit}` The key2 column contains just the numeric data now. Rename this column to TestNumber. You can delete the key column now. The dataset does not contain a primary key, which field containing a unique identifier for each row. The combination of last name, first name, and test number is a unique identifier for each row in the dataset: Transformation Name Merge columns Parameter: Columns LastName,FirstName,TestNumber Parameter: Separator '-' Rename the new column to TestID. Typically, primary keys are listed as the first field in a dataset. You might want to move the column before the LastName column. You may have noticed that the data is still organized by name (first and last) and test number, so that an individual's tests are scattered throughout the dataset. To reorganize the information, you can re-aggregate the data using the following: Transformation Name Pivot table Parameter: Row labels LastName,FirstName,TestNumber,TestID Parameter: Values SUM(TestScore) Parameter: Max number of columns to create 1 Tip: The above retains all instances of tests that have been taken. If you are only interested in the average test score, you can remove the TestNumber and TestID groupings and the change the SUM function to AVERAGE. In the results, you have one average for each test taker. You may want to rename the aggregation column. Your final dataset should look like the following: Figure: Single column of test scores Now that your columns of data have been consolidated to a single column, you can use the single-column transforms and functions to perform analysis.

Beauford Delaney: Transcending Race + Time <p><strong> December 4, 2020 - January 30, 2021 </strong></p><p>Knoxville native Beauford Delaney persevered through poverty, racial discrimination, and mental illness to become an internationally recognized artist. As a teenager, his work caught the eye of Lloyd Branson and became his apprentice. The opportunity catapulted Delaney towards New York City during the Harlem Renaissance where he cultivated a circle of friends, including poet laureate Countee Cullen, artist Georgia O’Keeffe, and writer James Baldwin. In 1953, Delaney left New York for Paris, France, as Europe had begun attracting African-American artists and writers. His works began to shift from figurative compositions to abstract expressionists of color and light.</p></p><p>The exhibition featured 21 works, including 4 oil on canvas paintings, abstract watercolors, pastel portraits, and 3 self-portraits, that range across various stages of Delaney’s life. Exhibition highlights included a pastel portrait of Harriet Tubman and an oil portrait of Delaney’s longtime friend and frequent model, New York singer Dante Pavone.</p> Beauford and Joseph Delaney: Lives in Art <p><strong> February 5 - 27, 2021 </strong></p></p><p>In September and October of 1970, Joseph and Beauford Delaney were going to have a joint exhibition of their work at the McClung Gallery. Due to Beauford's poor health at the time, he was unable to send paintings from his studio in Paris. The exhibition ended up being a solo show of Joseph's work. 50 years later, the UT Downtown Gallery is pleased to present their work together.</p> Salvador Dali's Divine Comedy <p><strong> March 5 - 27, 2021 </strong></p></p><p>In 1957, the Italian government commissioned Dali to create a complete set of illustrations for Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the author’s birth. Dali began the arduous task of selecting imagery and creating a watercolor painting for each of the 100 cantos of the poem. Shortly after Dali started the project, the Italian government withdrew its commission. Italian citizens had been outraged that a Spanish artist had been selected for this undertaking, instead of inviting an Italian artist to honor one of Italy’s greatest authors. However, it was very fitting that one of the leading artists in the Surrealist movement would be chosen to interpret the bizarre punishments of Inferno and Purgatorio and the fantastical images of Paradiso that Dante created – drawing inspiration from classical and biblical imagery, as well as his own imagination.</p><p>The UT Downtown Gallery is pleased to present the complete collection of 100 prints. The prints are part of the permanent collection of the Ewing Gallery of Art + Architecture and was a gift by alumnus, Gary Johnson.</p> Community of Eight <p><strong> April 2 - 30 </strong></p></p><p>This exhibition recognizes the contributions of our full-time faculty at area community colleges - Roane State, Walters State, and Pellissippi State.</p></p><p>Exhibiting artists are: Jennifer Brickey, Caroline Covington, Amy Evans, Stacy Jacobs, Jeff Lockett, Herb Rieth, Jessie Van der Laan, and Bryan Wilkerson.</p> Walker Evans and James Agee <p><strong> June 4 - July 31, 2021 </strong></p></p><p>Walker Evans’ photographs made for James Agee’s classic work, <i>Let Us Now Praise Famous Men</i>, served as the culmination of Evans’ talents as well as the realistic portrayal of the conditions of the American tenant farmer during the 1930s.

Clark is a New York-based sculptor who works with light and illumination.</p></p><p>“Light as a material has illuminated my creative search, I continue to be captivated by the mysterious dialogue between light and form. Light is ephemeral, as it dances and changes composing space, defines, reflects, refracts, bends, and teases the volume and mass of forms. Light has created a symbiotic relationship with me in my exploration capturing my childhood creative adventure and developing an exciting lifelong journey.”</p> Chromatic Rhythm: James Little <p><strong> November 5 - 27, 2021 </strong></p><p>Born in Memphis, Tennessee, JAMES LITTLE (b. 1952) received a BFA from the Memphis Academy of Art (1974) and then an MFA from Syracuse University (1976).</p></p><p>Since the 1970s, the work of James Little has been extensively exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe. Among his awards and honors, Little has received the Joan Mitchell Foundation Award in Painting in 2009 and the Pollock-Krasner Award in 2000. In 2016, Little was commissioned by the Metropolitan Transit Authority to create public artwork for the Long Island Rail Road’s new Brooklyn-bound platform at Jamaica Station.</p> 2020 exhibitions The Society at Black Pond - three films by Jessica Sarah Rinland The Society at Black Pond explores the activity within a common land in the south of England. Previously occupied by the 17th century agrarian socialists The Diggers, the land is currently inhabited by a Natural History Society whose occupations include bat and moth trapping, mycology, tree measuring, and botanical walks. The exhibition includes three film works that offer a social and natural history of this particular location while exploring more intimately human’s relationship with and within land and nature.

The subject matter is the gestures or tasks caused by certain physical, social-economic, and environmental conditions in the lives of working class African Americans and other people of African descent. Instead of standard realism he favors a strategy that abstracts everyday actions and statements into theatrical gestures, in which archival footage is re-edited or re-staged, real people perform fictional scenarios based on their own lives and historical observations intermesh with contemporary narratives. The films suggest the relentlessness of everyday life—along with its beauty—but also present oblique metaphors for art-making. This exhibition is in partnership with The Public Cinema and Big Ears music festival. 2018 exhibitions Science and Nature: Larry Brown February 5 - 27, 2016 Larry Brown is a painter who has taught drawing in the Cooper Union School of Art Since 1991. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Washington State University and his Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Arizona. Larry’s paintings and works on paper are based on concerns with relative relationships between science and nature. His most recent work is defined by a geo-political narrative focused on ecological and geological tensions related to the environment and climate. 2017 exhibitions ARTSOURCE 2016 May 6 - 20, 2016 Every day, Knox County art teachers devote their time and energy to cultivating creativity and critical skills in their students.

He continued his professional career while teaching at UT. One of his most enduring interests was the history of the Civil War. He served as President of the Knoxville Civil War Roundtable. Goes to Eleven: First Year MFA exhibition August 19 – 27, 2011 The UT Downtown Gallery is pleased to exhibit the work of our first year graduate students who are entering the UT School of Art Graduate program within their various disciplines. The exhibit showcases the outstanding talent and artistic visions of these new students, which includes painting, printmaking, graphic design and sculpture works. Exhibiting students were: Andrew Merriss, April Bachtel, Eric Cagley, Cierra Reppert, Daniel Ogletree, Hannah Skoonberg, Jennifer Scheuer, Jonathan Lisenby, Justin Clay, Tamra Hunt, and Victoria Buck. Scott Sherk: Mapping Sound September 2 – 30, 2011 Mapping Sound explores ideas about the representation of space through the use of sound. If sculpture is an exploration of space through form, in these works of sound sculpture, sound becomes the primary focus of the exploration of three-dimensional space. Scott Sherk is a sculptor who often works with sound. His work has been widely shown, including his Katonah Sound Project installation at the Katonah Museum of Art and several exhibitions at the Kim Foster Gallery in New York City. He has released several collections of field recorded and manipulated sounds. Click here to view installation images. Justin Randolph Thompson: The Pits October 7 – 28, 2011 The Pits is a multi-disciplinary installation and performance that investigates the political employment of sound, both in realm of propaganda and as protest, and the visual hierarchies of the architectural organization of theatre space. The orchestra is collaboration with students and faculty of the UT music department. Jazz musician, composer, and UT alum Jason Thompson will work with this group to create an 8-10 piece pit orchestra that will be conducted to perform a score that shifts from classical, triumphant marches, into the drum and flute sound of Black Power poets, through folk styles of spiritual praise, and finally into abrasive Hip Hop.

For this body of work, she has transformed Unseen, a super 16 mm film made in 2007, which was shown at the Bode Museum, into a series of black, white, and colored collages. In the film “Unseen” the artist searches through key locations and museums in the city of Berlin attempting to find metaphorical space and literal rest for two rubber sculptures, one female and one male. As Zausner and her two rubbery protagonists move through the city, a non-linear narrative unfolds. They encounter sites central to the life of the city, like a bread factory and a newspaper plant, as well as historical sites, like a defunct amusement park in the former East. Zausner’s fascination with the imagery from the film compelled her to reexamine the content and the structure of the different scenes through collage. Using repetition and reconfiguration, the collages are a different way of exploring the act of filming, editing, and making the sound, which are all components that create the foundation and meaning of the collages.

Genus species: Ewing December 2, 2011 – January 15, 2012 Genus species: EWING focuses on selections from the permanent collection of the Ewing Gallery of Art and Architecture. Each work of art is united by a common subject matter — the Kingdom Anamalia. This exhibition includes art in all media — video, sculpture, painting, printmaking, and photography. Genus species: EWING includes works by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Andy Warhol, Sue Coe, Eleanor Dickinson, Walter Haskell Hinton, Salvador Dali, Mark Steinmetz, Harrison Cady, Bessie Harvey, and Ed Westcott. A number of the pieces are also by current and former University of Tennessee art professors: Clark Stewart, Paul Lee, Beauvais Lyons, Byron McKeeby, and Diane Fox. 2012 Redefining the Multiple: Thirteen Japanese Printmakers January 20 – February 25, 2012 This exhibition examines the state of contemporary printmaking in Japan, and challenges the traditional definitions of prints and printmaking. All of the participating artists received their formal training as printmakers and the production of multiples remains at the heart of their creative process. While utilizing tools and techniques of the printmaker, some of the artists now create work that has transitioned into forms that are associated with other media, such as sculpture, painting, and digital imaging. Of the selected participants, four make three-dimensional objects and installations, two paint with printmaking tools, three utilize digital photography and technology, while the others pursue traditional and recognizable printmaking techniques. Each artist exhibited three to five works, resulting in a diverse selection of objects and images from the hands of an equally diverse group of artists, including men and women of various ages from their mid-twenties to mid-sixties. The artists reside and work in different regions throughout Japan, and the visual content of their work ranges anywhere from formal abstraction, to iterations of traditional Japanese cultural images. Co-curated by Ewing Gallery Director Sam Yates and Hideki Kimura, Chair of Printmaking at Kyoto City University of Arts, Redefining the Multiple brings the best of contemporary Japanese printmaking to the United States. click here to view installation images. In Action: Mark Newport March 2 – 31, 2012 Artist Mark Newport creates hand-knit acrylic yarn recreations of hero costumes, prints of the artist in costume, and carved, costumed figure sculptures. The costumes are life size, wearable objects that hang limply on hangers. They challenge the standard muscular form of the hero and offer the space for someone to imagine himself or herself wearing the costume, therefore becoming the hero. Mark is an artist and educator living in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He is the Artist in Residence and Head of Fiber at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. He earned his BFA at the Kansas City Art Institute in 1986 and his MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1991. Newport’s work has been exhibited throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Click here to view installation images.

On Location Part II: Land Portrait July 6 – 27, 2012 Land Portrait features works from members of the Culture Laboratory Collective based upon their relationship with a particular place, landform, landscape, topography, or state of current residence. These pieces, when combined, serve as comprehensive land portraits. Translations of localities can act as reflections of communities continually in flux. The visual statements produced for this exhibition may provide a more complete understanding of who (and where) we are. The value of place and landscape is immeasurable. Memories from places can become etched in our minds and contextualized over time. This exhibit offers a view into a collective memory and re-locates interpretations of place into a public, conversational setting. Curated by Brian R. Jobe Click here to view installation images.

The Legacy of James Randolph Denton September 7 – 8, 2012 A native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA), James Randolph Denton founded the Association for Creative Zoology in 1908 an effort to rebut the popularization of evolutionary theory in American public schools and universities. Working with the London publisher Everitt Ormsby Hokes, founder of Hokes Scholarly Lithography, Denton published two collections of color lithographs documenting the principle of animal hybridity, what he referred to as “zoomorphic juncture.” These were Rare Zoological Specimens and Ornithological Quadrupeds, both published in the 1920s, the second of which emulates the publications of the British naturalist John Gould. Arguing for Creation Science, Reverend Denton cited the unicorn and the dragon, each of which are mentioned in the King James Edition of the Bible, as examples of this phenomena. Denton argued that animal hybridity explained species diversity and disputed the principles of natural selection. Click here to view installation images. Pencil Pushed September 19 – October 28, 2012 In this exhibition, the word pencil functions simply as a metaphor or symbol for drawing and its activity. The artists selected are known for their drawing or drawing activity as their primary means of expression and have either pushed the material, process, or boundary of conventional drawing. Media included video, sculpture, animation, installation, and of course, works on paper. This exhibition is neither a survey nor the definitive grouping of mark-making artists. It is more a conversation about artists who have and continue to explore these regions in drawing. The diversity of the exhibition favored mid-career artists, but ranged from emerging to late. Featured artists in Pencil Pushed are: William Anastasi, William Pittman Andrews, Caroline Burton, Elisa D’Arrigo, Mary Reid Kelley, Sharon Louden, Jennifer Macdonald, Peter Mollenkof, Darcy Brennan Poor, Bill Richards, Beatrice Riese, Hilda Shen, Drew Shiflett, Stephen Talasnik, and Sam Vernon Click here to view installation images.

During Capstone students engage in a self-initiated research project to demonstrate that a graduating senior has learned and can practice the skills and concepts of a chosen concentration (2D, 3D, 4D). The Capstone also demonstrates the student’s ability to intellectualize and articulate issues and ideas about contemporary art. Successful completion of the Capstone course is a requirement of graduation. The UT Downtown Gallery is excited to present the work of 5 graduating seniors in this year’s capstone exhibition. Exhibiting students are: Sarah Crumley, Kayla Courtoy, David Holland, Bill Warden, and Catherine Widner. Click here to view installation images. Revealed: Pat Badt and Paul Briggs December 7, 2012 – January 18, 2013 The UT Downtown Gallery is pleased to present Revealed, an exhibition of paintings by Pat Badt and ceramic sculptures by Paul Briggs. The paintings and sculptures share a similar modesty in size, creating an approachable and intimate relationship between object and viewer. The work is meditative in process. Lines and leaf-forms vary in length, color, orientation, and proximity to the next. It is repetitive, yet unique.

Print Resonance July 5 – 27, 2013 Fifty graduate students and faculty members at five universities: the University of Alberta, Canada; the University of Tennessee, Knoxville; the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp, Belgium; Silpakorn University, Thailand and Musashino Art University, Tokyo, Japan created prints specifically for this project. The participating artists made their prints on the same size paper, allowing the viewer to focus on the image, rather than the scale of the work. The audience is encouraged to consider the artistic expression from each university and to find commonality across geographic and cultural borders, as the printmakers share ideas about their own interests, lives, and values. The works were created using various print techniques, which include inkjet, etching, drypoint, chine-colle, lithography, woodcut, intaglio and blind printing. This portfolio is a limited edition of 10 copies, two for each of the five universities, with the goal of further development of printmaking education around the globe.

Echo of the Object September 6 – 26, 2013 Echo of the Object is an exhibition featuring work by Ball State faculty members: Hannah Barnes, Jennifer Halvorson, David Hannon, and Jacinda Russell. This exhibition brings together several series of works in drawing, painting, photography, and sculpture. Each body of work explores how objects of symbolic or personal significance play a role in the construction of memory, identity, and meaning. The metaphor of containment is a consistent theme in each artist’s work, both in the use of objects whose literal function is to contain (bags, jars, boxes), and also in the suggestion that seemingly insignificant objects have a certain capacity to become filled with meaning. Time, humor, absurdity, the domestic, and the everyday are additional themes this exhibition will seek to explore. Click here to view installation images. Ossuary: A project by Lorrie Beth Clarke October 4 – 26, 2013 Three hundred artists have contributed to Ossuary. Their work, in many media, includes single bones, clusters of bones, and art works inspired by, using, or playing with the idea of bones. These bones are political statements and personal elegies, memorials to individuals and statements about mortality. They represent connections to our ancestors and/or to our descendants. Some works are serious and some use bones in a completely playful manner. Ossuary was developed in response to the repositories of bones that have accrued in countries like Cambodia and Rwanda, but Ossuary is not a project about those traumas. Rather, Ossuary offers a poignant counter-image to mass violence. It is a project about the hope that art brings. Ossuary is a cumulative traveling project. It began in Madison, Wisconsin. Artists interested in contributing bones to future exhibitions should write to ossuaries@gmail.com. This relational project was initiated and developed by the artist Laurie Beth Clark. Clark, who is a Professor in the Art Department at the University of Wisconsin, has shown work in galleries, museums, theatres, and public spaces in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa.

All past portfolios—1937, 1987, 1997—were produced using various forms of lithography and means of transferring image to plate. Unlike traditional printmaking, the digital inkjet process does not involve a physical matrix from which ink is transferred to paper. This marks both a technical and a conceptual shift in printmaking. Our choice of the medium situates this portfolio squarely in the current century and is an indication of the group’s forward momentum. The artists were asked to provide a digital file meeting predetermined specifications, yet no restrictions were placed on how the file could be created. The digital process enabled a wide variety of approaches that include abstract and documentary photography, scanning of flat-work made expressly for the project, digital compositing and image manipulation, as well as the use of vector-based software and hand-coded algorithms. The results are as varied as the artists’ individual sensibilities. Click here to view installation images. AIR 30th Anniversary Exhibition December 6, 2013 – January 10, 2014 Begun after the retirement of painting professor Carl Sublett, the Artist-in-Residence Program enriches a student’s experience further by regularly bringing new artists from outside the university who are active in the contemporary gallery and museum arenas. Each semester an invited resident artist teaches both undergraduate and graduate level courses in the painting and drawing curriculum. The AIR program has been highly successful in making a direct connection to the marketplace of ideas that surrounds art centers such as New York City, Chicago, and LA. The artists we bring to campus represent a spectrum of current sensibilities in painting and drawing holding sway in the art world today. This exhibition features work from past participating artists from the Ewing Gallery permanent collection.

It considers aesthetic and industrial incentives originating in rural America and calls into question modernism’s strictly urban mythology. Grids, cruciforms, and wood grain details are embedded in extended patterns calling to mind Constructivist and Bauhaus Schools’ principals of industrial hybridity and utopianism. But the site of industry here is agriculture with distilled forms taken from domestic textile design, land management diagrams, and vernacular architecture. Paul Krainak is an artist, critic, and Chair of the Art Department at Bradley University. Click here to view installation images.

Man imbued birds with mystical and religious meaning due to their fascinating ability to exist in two worlds – the earthly world, and the sky, or heavenly realm. Drawn primarily from the Ewing Gallery’s permanent collection, Of a Feather features works from historic and contemporary artists who represent birds in a diverse assortment of styles. While some artists approach the bird as studies of simplified form others utilize strategies of space and distance to take a more poetic or analytical look at the economic and social issues attached to birds. Works range from hyperrealism to whimsical to abstract. This exhibition incorporates a number of artists of artists from New York and Chicago including Keith Haring, Michael Kirk, Keith Long, Diane Churchill, and Laurie Hogin; regional artists, Howard Finster, Todd Johnson, Kelly Hider, Heather Middlebrooks, Gary Monroe, and Richard Jolley, as well as distinguished faculty from the University of Tennessee – Jered Sprecher, Diane Fox, Beauvais Lyons, Marcia Goldenstein, Don Kurka, Bill Kennedy, Clark Stewart and Byron McKeeby. The artworks on display consider themes of scientific inquiry, symbolism, environmental consciousness, and the rituals of birding, among others. The exhibition is in tribute to the late artist Ellen Lanyon who often used images of birds in her art.

Presented on custom-built risers and linear structures, individual components are often physically or conceptually networked together with arrangements of objects ranging from the random and chaotic to the precise and articulate. Through careful positioning and intentional framing the works are suggestive of abstracted models and diagrammatic systems that allude to a sculptural logic that is both pragmatic and allusive at the same time.

Her creative activity and scholarship encompasses not only studio production in printmaking, painting, and drawing, but central and influential articles, essays and book chapters that have played a vital role in advancing print theory. Her 1986 essay “Syntax of the Print” published in the Tamarind Papers is frequently assigned to students in printmaking programs and remains relevant almost 30 years after it was first published. As one of her nominators, Mark Pascale, Associate Curator of Printmaking at the Art Institute of Chicago, praised not only her work as a printmaker and draftsman, he also emphasized her writings as an important contribution to the field of printmaking. Ruth Weisberg is 2015 recipient of the SGC International Printmaker Emeritus Award. Click here to view installation images.

Strangers and Stand-Ins: Sunita Prasad April 22-25, 2015 The three works on display express my desire to distill and undermine normative expectations about which behaviors and expressions are appropriate for whom. A choreographic example can be found in Presumptuous?, an ongoing video series shot in cities around the world which disrupts the codes of urban co-existence by inserting hyper-intimate and often queer interactions into public space.

Jones, Patrick Kikut, and Shelby Shadwell The Land Report Collective deals with landscape in fundamental ways and as a foundational reference point. Brown considers the politics of mountaintop removal in his construction of objects and installations while also creating playful formal assemblages. Jobe crafts meeting places for public interaction through the delineation of pathways and works with brick and wood. Jones responds to desert environments with experimental interactions, model scale sculpture, and large scale outdoor works. Kikut incorporates a lifelong interest in the horizon line in a series of paintings with flat Midwestern landscapes as his muse. Shadwell views the landscape from a non-traditional lens, responding to ephemeral images from highway road cameras, monumental mining operations and the optical nature of the salt flats through drawing, sculpture and video installation.

John Messinger November 6 – 28, 2015 John Messinger combines elements of photography and tapestry to create large-scale, 3-dimensional mixed media artworks. His body of work consists of thousands of individual 3.25 x 4.25 inch instant photographs assembled together to create photographic tapestries that examine the proliferation and ubiquity of the photograph in the digital age. Inspired by the notions of singularity and time, Messinger combines hundreds of varying images and transforms them into a single experience. His work fuses indexical and abstract imagery to question the notion of photography, photographer, and subject. Click here for installation images.

Included are enamel painted records by Lucas Farley, Arthur Middleton’s portrait paintings of American presidents, velvet paintings of brides by Charlotte Black, Max Pritchard’s hand-painted religious tracts on cereal boxes, Rufus Martinez’s ceramic face jugs, and Lester Coleman Dowdy’s “limberjack” puppets.

As secrecy of the project was paramount, the “atomic” city was fenced, and communication with the outside world was limited. What is more, no cameras were allowed inside the fenced boundaries. Thus, Westcott became not only the official photographer for the Manhattan Project, but he also became the sole photographer of the social and recreational events of Oak Ridge. It is only through Westcott’s photographs that the visual history of Oak Ridge can be appreciated.

Clark Stewart January 7 – February 25, 2006 Over the past 40 years, educator F. Clark Stewart has impacted the lives and maturation of countless aspiring young artists at the University of Tennessee.

His contributions as both a dedicated teacher and a cognizant, active member of the university community are immeasurable. The goal of Mysterious Pleasures: The Art of F. Clark Stewart is, however, to celebrate the achievements and work of the artist. The works on exhibition, as with his tenure at the university, span 40 years. Clark never strays far from his primary subject – the human figure- or his primary interest – the human narrative. Art movements, like fashion, have developed and faded with time, but Clark has remained steadfast in his commitment to figurative art and its ability to create mystery and a range of emotional responses.

We are in the process of remodeling our entrance foyer to our home and absolutely love natural stone floors. However we have heard from numerous friends that they can be difficult to maintain and take care of. What does it take to keep them looking their best? Are there certain stones we should be leaning towards more so than others? Or should we just to the classic timber or porcelain tiles? Answer: There are thousands of varieties of natural stone so you must first ascertain what it is you exactly love about natural stone floors. Brainstorm a list of qualities you admire about stone flooring, it could be the colour, the veins or patterning. This procedure will most definitely help you narrow down your search in the sea of options and help you choose the right product. Here are some of the best options to use for natural stone flooring: Marble: Marble has graced stone floors for centuries and is a popular choice for flooring due to the sense of warmth it offers. Most marbles have a real sense of character and a sophisticated appeal but can scratch so care must be taken. However, over time, marble develops a beautiful patina over time with all the subtle imperfections eventually blending together to form part of the character of the marble. Some of the most popular types of marble include: Carrara Gioia Statuario Venato Calacatta Borghini Calacatta Gold Bianco Carrara Marble is a nice choice for bathrooms where there is usually a lot less foot traffic however is suitable for a variety of applications from kitchen benchtops to fireplaces to walls. At Euro Marble have over 150 different variations of marble in stock to choose from and have tiles to compliment Travertine: This is a relatively softer stone which varies widely in colour however most products within the family are beige orientated. While the stone can scratch and stain like most natural stones, many love the warm and inviting feel the stone gives off. The stone has a tendency to remain cool even during summer months under direct sunlight. For this reason, Travertine is perfect for outdoor applications and in wet areas around pool surrounds. Travertine in Australia come in a wide range of finishes and looks, some of the most popular include: Honed and unfilled – The pockets in the stone have been left unfilled giving the stone a more rustic classical look, much like what is found in Italy’s colosseum Honed and Filled – The pockets in the stone are epoxy filled and honed to give a smooth matte finish for a more modern, sophisticated look. Travertina Navona Floor Via Euro Marble Granite: By far one of the most durable natural stones out there. The stone is highly resilient to scratches and staining and comes in a vast array of patterns and colours. While the stone will stand up to the demands required for natural stone flooring, it isn’t as cosy and warm as other materials. Once installed, regular sweeping and mopping with PH neutral detergent is sufficient to keep the floor in pristine condition and make it last a lifetime. The finish of the stone is another crucial element that must be considered as it will make a big difference in the floor’s longevity. A highly polished floor that looks like a glass finish is not suitable as it can be very slippery and scratches are much more prominent. A honed or matte finish is a better choice for floors to create a smooth surface. It is more slip resistant and marks and staining are not as prominent on the surface. With some planning and consideration you can enjoy the sight and use of most natural stones for flooring applications. At Euro Marble we have over 150 different variations of natural stone in stock and one of our sales professionals will gladly assist in answering any questions you may have about stone flooring. They can also advise you on cleaning trips and tricks to ensure the longevity of your floors. FacebookTwitterLinkedIn Recommended Posts What Is The Difference Between Rock and Stone?

Are you planning to have a baby? There are many things to think about and prepare before actually conceiving! First off, you would need to eliminate the possibilities of any complications for you and your baby by getting your body ready for the pregnancy. Changing your lifestyle to prepare for pregnancy is crucial, especially if you have been trying to conceive for a long time. Here are 5 vital steps to help you and your body be in the best state to conceive: 1) Consult Your Doctor See your doctor or gynecologist for preconception, conception, and even post-conception health consultations. Your doctor will need to address any health conditions you may have that would affect pregnancy. Your doctor can offer medical advice that will help you manage the condition to have a successful conception. Conditions like STDs, thyroid disease, high blood pressure, and other chronic medical conditions require serious attention, especially during pregnancy. A visit to your OB or GYN office is an essential step to take when planning on having a baby. They can keep you well-informed with anything concerning your medications, vaccinations, and so on that would allow you to have an easy conception. When planning to have a baby, your reproductive health doctors are not the only medical practitioners you need. You should also visit your dentist. It is vital to visit your dentist as much as it is to visit your OB or GYN. According to studies, pregnant women are prone to having dental issues and gum disease. Visiting your dentist means that you can protect your dental health and prevent any issues from occurring in the future. Dental care gets riskier during pregnancy, as there would be limitations to pills you can use, including pain relievers. So it is best to take the step to visit your dentist before pregnancy. 2) In-Vitro Fertilization Concerns about infertility are among the reasons one should consult their doctors if they are planning to have a baby. In this case, your doctor may recommend in-vitro fertilization for you. IVF is a way of using medicines and surgical approaches to assist reproduction. It is used to help people with fertility issues conceive a baby. This procedure requires a fertility doctor (a reproductive endocrinologist) to take mature eggs from a woman’s ovaries and then fertilize them in a lab. First, the woman is given medications to help make several of her eggs mature for fertilization – this process is called ovulation induction. Then, her eggs are collected to be mixed with sperm to help fertilize the eggs – this is known as insemination. The eggs and sperm are specially stored together to make fertilization happen. Sperm may be injected directly into the egg if the sperm has low motility, which means it cannot swim well, to reach the egg for fertilization. After that, one or more fertilized eggs (now embryos) are put directly into the woman’s uterus. This is usually done after 3 to 5 days from when the eggs were collected from the woman. This collection of eggs from the woman’s ovaries is called egg retrieval. Pregnancy occurs when an embryo gets into the lining of the uterus. The process takes several months to complete. It may work at the first attempt, but more commonly it will take several. The success rate of this depends on different factors, including age. The success rate after the first retrieval for women under 35 is 55% but drops to 13% for 40 years old women. However, this is not to say that it is not worth it. Invitro fertilization will surely increase your chances of getting pregnant if you or your partner has infertility issues. 3) Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle It is generally crucial to lead a healthy lifestyle. However, it becomes way more essential to be in great health when planning to have a baby. You should stop using certain drugs, smoking, drinking alcohol, and so on. This kind of lifestyle can easily cause birth defects that may be life-threatening for the baby and mother. When it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle in preparation for having a baby, it is also vital to maintain a healthy weight. Being obese or underweight exposes you to many serious health problems. An unhealthy weight can cause pregnancy complications and other chronic health problems like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, etc. Also, add exercise to your daily routine. Aside from the regular exercises, include Kegels as well. Kegels are an important exercise for women, especially as it prepares them for pregnancy and helps build the pelvic muscle. It helps strengthen the woman’s vaginal walls and hip bones, which make childbearing less painful, easier, and safer. So stay healthy, eat well, and exercise regularly as part of the steps to take when planning to have a baby. 4) Stay Away From Harmful Environments and Avoid Toxic Substances Avoid exposure to harmful substances in your environment. Whether in your house, workplace, school, or wherever, make sure you don’t come in contact with any toxins. This includes even the most common chemical substances you can find in your immediate environments, such as cat or rodent feces, bug spray, etc. These substances can damage your reproductive health and make it difficult for you to conceive. Exposure to even a small amount of toxins can cause issues during pregnancy that could affect your health and your baby’s health. Toxins can damage both female and male reproductive health. 5) Learn About Your Family Health History Having information about your family health history can prove useful for you when trying to have a child. Find out if your family has any health complications that may affect reproduction. This will help you to prepare to deal with them. Talk to your doctor about family health issues, if there are any. Consider going for counseling to address any genetic issues that may be in your family, so they don’t affect you when you want to have your baby. In all these, visiting your doctor is considered the most important step to take when planning to have a baby. A gynecologist, obstetrician, and urologist are experts in issues relating to reproduction, and other related health topics. They will typically address all of the tips we pointed out in this article. Also, prepare yourself mentally and financially because you will need to be prepared as much as possible when having a child. Maintain a healthy lifestyle as suggested in this article. Carry on with the good and healthy habits from pre-conception to conception and even after you have your baby as breastfeeding is a vital aspect of your baby’s wellbeing, as well!

Man is charged after ‘biting the tail off a rattlesnake using his teeth and tossing it into his neighbor’s RV’ Ryan Felton Sauter, 39, of Texas, was charged with criminal trespass and deadly conduct after putting a silenced rattlesnake in his neighbor’s RV He allegedly bit the rattle off it’s tail so it couldn’t be heard when it attacked Sauter and neighbor, Keith Monroe, had apparently argued earlier in the day Monroe said he used a machete to kill the snake and called police Ryan Felton Sauter, 39, of Dale, Texas, was arrested and charged with criminal trespass and deadly conduct after allegedly biting the tail off a rattlesnake and putting the snake in his neighbor’s RV A Texas man was arrested after allegedly biting the tail off a rattlesnake and putting it in his neighbor’s RV following an argument between the two men. Ryan Felton Sauter, 39, of Dale, Texas, was arrested and charged with Class A misdemeanor criminal trespass of a habitation and deadly conduct following the incident which occurred on June 17. After an argument with his neighbor, Keith Monroe, Sauter allegedly found a rattlesnake and used his own teeth to bite its tail off, so the snake could not be heard when it attacked. Sauter is accused of then putting the maimed rattlesnake inside Monroe’s RV. Monroe told the Austin-American Statesman he saw Sauter leave his RV and asked him why he was in his home without his permission. According to Monroe, Sauter said, ‘You’ll see why.’ In an effort to figure out what Sauter meant, Monroe said he went inside his home and, looking around, saw the three-foot-long rattlesnake. ‘I freaked out,’ Monroe told the Statesman. ‘I couldn’t believe this happened.’ Sauter’s neighbor, Keith Monroe (pictured) said that he and Sauter had an argument prior to the snake incident and that they had long-standing disagreements over multiple issues Monroe said that he saw Sauter exiting his RV (pictured) and when he asked why Sauter was inside without permission, Sauter said ‘you’ll see why’ The snake Monroe found in his RV was three feet long. He said he killed it with a machete Firefighter nearly blinded by July 4th fireworks after a… Heroic coach driver dies saving 37 passengers after stopping… Share this article Monroe said he killed the snake with a machete and then called the sheriff’s office. According to the arrest affidavit, obtained by KVUE, Monroe told deputies that he was ‘in fear of imminent danger of serious bodily injury’ after discovering Sauter’s alleged actions with the snake. The deputies wrote that they had ‘observed that the snake’s rattles had been removed.’ Monroe did not specify what his and Sauter’s argument had been about, but said that there were several issues that they had long-standing disagreements about.

What were the last words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) before he bade farewell to this world?. Answer Praise be to Allah. The last words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) – before he bade farewell to this world – were: “O Allaah, (with) the higher companions”. This is the title that al-Bukhaari gave to a chapter in Kitaab al-Maghaazi in his Saheeh: “The last words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)”, where he quoted the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) who said: When the Prophet was healthy, he used to say, “No soul of a Prophet is taken until he has been shown his place in Paradise and then he is given the choice.” When death approached him while his head was on my thigh, he became unconscious and thenrecovered consciousness. He then looked at the ceiling of the house and said, “O Allaah! (with) the highest companions." I said (to myself), “He is not going to choose (to stay with) us.” Then I understood what he meant when he said that to us when he was healthy. The last words he spoke were, "O Allaah! (with) the highest companions.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4463; Muslim, 2444. There is a report narrated by Ahmad (1691) from the hadeeth of Abu ‘Ubaydah, who said that the last words that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) spoke were, “Expel the Jews of the Hijaaz and Najraan from the Arabian Peninsula, and know that the most evil of people are those who took the graves of their Prophets as places of worship.” This was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Saheehah, no. 1132. And Abu Dawood (5156)and Ibn Maajah (2698) narrated that ‘Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The last words that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) spoke were, “The prayer, the prayer! And fear Allaah with regard to those whom your right hands possess.” This was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood. And there are other similar ahaadeeth. What is meant by these reports is that these are some of the last things that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, or they were the last pieces of advice that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) gave to his family and companions, and those who would be in authority after he was gone. These ahaadeeth are among the last things he said, but the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah is the last of all. See Fayd al-Qadeer by al-Manaawi, 5/250 – 251. Note: al-Suhayli said: the reason why these – “O Allaah, (with) the higher companions” – were the last words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is because they refer both to Tawheed and to dhikr in the heart. It offers comfort to those who are unable to speak (when dying), because some people may not be able to speak out loud for some reason, but that does not matter if their hearts are steadfast in remembering Allaah. Quoted by al-Haafiz in al-Fath, 8/138. Was this answer helpful?

We present a method that consumes a large corpus of multilingual text and produces a single, unified word embedding in which the word vectors generalize across languages. In contrast to current approaches that require language identification, our method is agnostic about the languages with which the documents in the corpus are expressed, and does not rely on parallel corpora to constrain the spaces. Instead we utilize a small set of human provided word translations— which are often freely and readily available. We can encode such word translations as hard constraints in the model’s objective functions; however, we find that we can more naturally constrain the space by allowing words in one language to borrow distributional statistics from context words in another language. We achieve this via a process we term artificial code-switching. As the name suggests, we induce code switching so that words across multiple languages appear in contexts together. Not only do embedding models trained on code-switched data learn common cross-lingual structure, the common structure allows an NLP model trained in a source language to generalize to multiple target languages (achieving up to 80% of the accuracy of models trained with target language data).

A man approaches a van from a COVID-19 vaccine mobile clinic hosted by McDonald's and the California Department of the Public Health on September 21, 2021 in Los Angeles, California. Updated November 4, 2021 at 6:53 PM ET In early September, President Biden announced he was taking steps to get more Americans vaccinated and turn the tide on COVID-19. On Thursday, the administration rolled out two of those steps — two different vaccine rules covering more than 100 million workers. Here are the details: Deadline is Jan. 4: The first rule, issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), covers companies with 100 or more employees and applies to an estimated 84 million workers. Companies must ensure either that their workers are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Jan. 4 or that they test negative for the coronavirus at least once a week. Workers must get paid time off to get vaccinated: Under the OSHA rule, employers must pay workers for the time it takes to get vaccinated and provide sick leave for workers to recover from any side effects. Employers don't need to pay for testing: In a move that appears designed to push workers to choose vaccinations over testing, the rule does not require employers to pay for or provide testing to workers who decline the vaccine. However, collective bargaining agreements or other circumstances may dictate otherwise. Unvaccinated people must wear masks: Unvaccinated workers must also wear face coverings while on the job. This requirement goes into effect Dec. 6. Health care workers don't have a testing option under a separate rule: A second rule issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services requires some 17 million health care workers to be vaccinated by the same deadline, Jan. 4, but with no option for weekly testing in lieu of vaccination. The rule covers all employees — clinical and nonclinical — at about 76,000 health care facilities that receive federal funding from Medicare or Medicaid. Earlier, Biden had ordered federal workers and contractors to be vaccinated, with no testing option. Federal workers have until Nov. 22 to get the shots, while federal contractors have until Jan. 4. Vaccine requirements have proved successful, but a backlash is expected In rolling out the new rules, Biden administration officials said vaccine requirements are good for the economy and hailed the success of vaccine mandates, with only a small fraction of workers choosing to leave their jobs rather than comply. Employers from Tyson Foods to the Houston Methodist hospital system have reported vaccination rates topping 96%. But well before the details of the rules were released, there was backlash from Republican-led states, with two dozen state attorneys general threatening to sue the Biden administration. In a letter addressed to Biden on Sept. 16, they warned that a vaccine requirement would drive further skepticism of the COVID-19 vaccines and cause some workers to leave their jobs, further straining an "already-too-tight labor market." They also asserted that an OSHA rule would be illegal and disputed the notion that COVID-19 is a work-related hazard that falls under the agency's jurisdiction. Companies covered by the OSHA rule can challenge it in court, and challenges are expected in the coming days. Already, employers have expressed concern about the deadlines imposed by OSHA. Evan Armstrong, a vice president with the Retail Industry Leaders Association, says figuring out who's vaccinated and who's not and imposing a mask mandate for unvaccinated workers by early December will be a challenge for retailers, as will giving workers who decide to get vaccinated paid time off to do so as the holidays draw near. "The holiday season is crucial for retail, and it's already busy," he says. "We had already been operating with the talent shortage pretty much the entire year." This week, the Biden administration quickly asserted its legal authority in issuing the rule, citing the responsibility that OSHA has to provide workers with safe and healthy working conditions and to act quickly when workers are found to be facing grave danger. Joe Raedle / Getty Images Coronavirus tests are administered at a 24-hour drive-through site set up by Miami-Dade County, Fla., and Nomi Health in August. Some workers will have the option of getting weekly coronavirus tests instead of being vaccinated. "A virus that has killed more than 745,000 Americans, with more than 70,000 new cases per day currently, is clearly a health hazard that poses a grave danger to workers," said a senior administration official. Workplace outbreaks large and small have been documented, particularly in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. A congressional committee recently found that 59,000 meatpacking workers were infected with the coronavirus and that at least 269 of them died. The federal government is largely relying on companies to self-enforce the rule In the case of the OSHA rule, enforcement will largely fall to companies themselves. With only a couple of thousand state and federal OSHA inspectors nationwide, there is no mechanism for checking up on every workplace to see whether it's in fact keeping vaccination and testing records. Rather, OSHA inspectors will mostly respond to employee complaints and add coronavirus-related inspections to their to-do lists when they are already on-site somewhere. Employers that violate the rule can face fines of up to $13,653 per violation for serious violations and 10 times that for willful or repeated violations. There is an additional step some states will have to take before the vaccine-or-test rule takes effect. Twenty-one states and Puerto Rico have OSHA-approved state plans that govern workplace safety. Within 30 days, those states must enact rules of their own that are at least as effective as the federal rule. Last month, the Labor Department threatened to revoke the state plans of three states — Arizona, South Carolina and Utah — that had not yet adopted an emergency rule issued by OSHA in June aimed at protecting health care workers. While those same states and others could similarly delay the implementation of the federal vaccine-or-test rule, employers there may decide to move forward on their own.

That means that many of the people who need to perform the job in a given period of time are working on a daily basis, without much break, and without adequate rest breaks. The maintenance backlog has a large impact on the cost of your vehicle. Here are the top 5 reasons maintenance backlogs are so important. 1. The car has to get out of the garage When a vehicle is out of service for maintenance, it can take months or even years for it to be fixed. That’s because maintenance is expensive, and that means it’s not a good idea to leave it running without a break. That can cause a car to have a serious problem that affects the quality of your car’s performance and can cause it to become unsafe. This is why car owners are sometimes told to take their cars to the garage. 2. The vehicle has to be towed The maintenance system is expensive. The cost of repairing a car is higher than the repair costs of the truck and truck-tractor parts that you can replace. In addition, if you have a vehicle that has a lot of rust, you have to spend more money on a new engine. That makes it harder to replace parts as quickly as you can when the vehicle is in a service situation. 3. You have to replace the tires on the tires The tires are important, but they can also cost you money. When you install new tires on a car, you usually need to replace all of the tires that have been on the car for a certain period of times, as well as all of its wheels. When the tires are worn out, they can damage the engine. If the wheels have gone missing, they will have to be replaced. If you are stuck with a vehicle with a lot more rust on it than a normal vehicle, you should be able to repair the tires yourself. 4. You are not sure what you are getting out of a vehicle It is difficult to know what to do with your vehicle when it is in an operation that requires the use of maintenance tools. In some countries, it is illegal to use a maintenance tool for more than 5 years. It’s also illegal to repair a vehicle without proper documentation, as there is no standard procedure for this. 5. You need to hire an outside company for your vehicle maintenance job Because of the cost, it’s a bad idea to hire a maintenance company that will pay you less than a car mechanic. The people who are doing the job are not trained or experienced enough to make sure that you get the work done correctly. You should not expect that someone who is working for you will be able or willing to perform all of your maintenance. The best way to get the most out of your service period is to hire your own independent vehicle maintenance company.

Suppose there are two startups with similar products and other characteristics. But one raises $50m in investments while the other struggles to get noticed. What differentiators led investors to choose one over the other? As someone on the investor side of this equation, I will give you insight into 7 key things that attract me to a startup. Awareness Generating awareness about your startup is important for two big reasons. First, it’s impossible to sell a company for hundreds of million dollars if nobody has ever heard about it. Second, if investors are intrigued by your pitch, they will look for independent online references to your company. There are different ways to make the market aware of your startup, from PR to creating entries in Crunchbase, Wikipedia, AngelList, LinkedIn, and other public forums. Your can do it from anywhere in the world. But be aware that the task will require your constant input, even if you hire a PR agency or specialist. To me, generating awareness is not about sending press releases or doing a blog, but more about creating meaningful content that spreads organically through various channels. The media is interested in three things: scandals, numbers and hot news. It’s very hard to count on being hot news, since not everything that looks hot to you is hot for the media. But you can always play on numbers, for example, by providing the media with survey results for your industry. The story behind the startup Venture success is not about money or an idea, but about a founder being a strong, patient and motivated fighter. If an idea doesn’t work out, you can get a new one, but if a founder gives up, the business collapses. Leo Tolstoy once said that one ought to write only when one can’t live without writing. It’s the same thing here. I look for founders who started their businesses because that is the only way for them to live their lives. Startup founders have a greater failure rate than any other professionals. You have a better chance of being noticed waiting tables in Hollywood and making it as a movie star than you have of creating a successful startup in Silicon Valley. Nobody who is motivated only by financial success can survive; unfortunately, founders typically break down at about the two-year mark, even though success usually takes longer. As a founder, you need to convince investors that you do not give up easily by telling your story, sharing your motivation, and supporting your works with non-verbal signs and behavior. Some founders, especially those who come from other cultures, are reluctant to share personal details, but investors in the US can take that reticence as a sign that something is wrong. You need a strong story around your startup and yourself as the founder. Name dropping Once you have generated buzz around your startup and formulated a great story, the next big thing is name dropping — referring to somebody famous or borrowing the reputation of a well-known and respected person for the success of your startup. One of the startups that I invested in produces artificial diamonds. The team engaged Leonardo DiCaprio as their advisor. DiCaprio is very vocal about artificial diamonds because they are better than blood diamonds from Africa. If you can get an advisor like DiCaprio, you probably don’t need to worry about the rest. But you probably can’t, so you need to build a network of advisors. A good way to do it is by building increasing larger circles. Start with people who are close and easier to get: lawyers, market experts, and friends of friends. By investing their time and name in your startup, advisors also become investors. This type of engagement normally doesn’t require founders to give away a stake, or at least not much of a stake (usually 0.25% — 1.5%). Having prominent advisers on board demonstrates that you are capable of selling your idea. If you can’t sell your business proposition to advisors, it doesn’t make any sense to try to sell it to investors. About 60% of startups die somewhere in this stage. Shuttle diplomacy If your startup makes it through the previous stages, it’s time for shuttle diplomacy — using the mild interest of one investor as leverage when talking to other investors. For instance, a couple of times I was interested in a company but not completely sure I wanted to invest. I gave them a term sheet for my investment, with the condition that I would execute on it only if they raised money from other investors as well. Having my term sheet helped them raise that money because it provided a very good indication to the market about what was happening with the company. However, shuttle diplomacy can backfire if it is not done right, because investors talk to each other. Otherwise, it works very well. Sense of urgency Once you start talking to investors, you have to raise the money. You can’t pull back for a while if things don’t go your way, because investors will just say “Oh, I know this company; it has been on the market for six months already.” Poof! Your startup is dead! That’s why founders need a sense of urgency to make sure that investors get excited about them. Don’t let investors postpone the deal. Make the urgency clear: A funding round is closing, or your startup is signing a deal with a client that will impact the valuation, or some other compelling event is occurring — but resist the urge to lie. PR can raise the heat level on the market as well; for instance, you might mention to a good media source that you are closing a round. Memorable founders The last element may seem strange, but it works well. Successful founders tend to have a specific unique feature that they are remembered for, such as the way they behave, speak, or dress. Maybe it’s not fair, but after talking to 50 startup founders a week, I will most likely continue the conversation with the person with the weird hair and an interesting AI idea, rather than somebody who was less memorable. And I’m not alone; I know investors who invested $3m in a startup because the founder swore to wear a bow tie every day until the day he sells the company for $1b. This commitment, though complete nonsense, convinced the investors of the founder’s determination. Taking the risk of being unique shows that you are open-minded, ready for experiments, not afraid of risk, not afraid to look stupid, and not afraid to fail — all characteristics of a successful founder worthy of an investor’s time and money. So think about what your memorable feature will be. Something you’re hiding or ashamed of could be the thing that makes investors remember you. Local presence I do not recommend coming to Silicon Valley to do fundraising unless you are planning to have a local presence there. This may be the first and only question investors ask. Startups with a local presence have better chances with investors because they can be sold more easily. When a large corporation starts looking for a certain technology, they’ll look at local startups first, since the due diligence will be quicker and there will be no risk in terms of intellectual property rights. Even if the technology is not so great, it is much easier for a corporation to pay $50m for a company in the Valley than $5m for a company in Turkey, Egypt, or Russia. The best strategy is to come to the Valley for business development, secure a good partnership deal or “sell” your product or services to a local startup, and then ask the partner or the startup founders to recommend you to the investors they work with. It may sound like the long way to go, but in reality, it is much shorter and more productive than just sending emails to top capital firms. For investors, it is also a good way to verify that founders have at least some local presence and are capable of developing their business in the US. Taking the time to make sure your startup has all 7 of these key ingredients can really pay off. As investors scan the landscape for promising new businesses, yours will stand out as a hot prospect, and you’ll be ready to make a pitch that leads to the funding you need to quickly grow your idea into a successful business.

1. Chinese New Year (simplified Chinese: 春节; Traditional Chinese: 春節; Pinyin: Chūnjíe Chunjie) is the most important Chinese traditional holiday in China, also known as “Spring Festival” because the spring according to the Chinese calendar begins with Lee Chun Which is the first day of the solar calendar of the Chinese calendar year The day is also the end of the winter. Which is similar to Western festivals This festival begins on the 1st day of the 1st month (Chinese characters: 正月, Pinyin: Zhēngyuè) in the ancient Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th with the Lantern Festival. The night before Chinese New Year is the day in which Chinese families gather relatives for dinner every year, which is called Quasi (Chinese characters: 除夕, Pinyin: Chúxī) or “the shifting night” because the Chinese calendar is lunar solar. Chinese New Year is often called “Lunar New Year” Chinese New Year is the longest and most important celebration in the Chinese calendar. The origins of the Chinese New Year have centuries of history and are important because of many legends and traditions. Chinese New Year is celebrated in many countries and territories where Chinese people live, such as mainland China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, as well as in other Chinese communities. Chinese New Year is regarded as an important holiday for Chinese people and has influenced the celebration of the Lunar New Year celebrations of neighboring countries. Which includes Korea (Solon), Bhutan and Vietnam. In China, local customs and traditions regarding the Chinese New Year are very diverse. People will pour their money to buy gifts. Decorations, food and clothing materials There is also a tradition that Every family will clean the house thoroughly. To sweep away bad luck with the hope of opening the way for good luck The windows and doors are decorated with red wrapping paper and are paired with the themes “lucky”, “happiness”, “wealth” and “long life” that are popular. The night before chinese new year Dinner is a feast with the family. The food will include pork, duck, chicken and sweet delicacies. The family will end the night with firecrackers. The next morning Children will greet their parents by blessing them for good health and happy New Year. And received a red packet That Chinese New Year tradition for reconciliation Forget sincerely and desire for peace and happiness for everyone. Although the ancient Chinese calendar does not use consecutive years of numbers outside of China, the Chinese year is usually counted since the reign of the Yellow Emperor. But since it has been determined that at least three years is the number 1 used by scholars today, it makes the year 2012 to be “Chinese Year” 4710, 4709 or 4649. 2. The Chinese festival marking the start of the new year, beginning on the second new moon after the winter solstice and ending on the full moon fifteen days later. It is marked by visits to family and friends, special meals, fireworks, and gift giving. Share this: Twitter Facebook Like this: Like Loading...

Best known for their 1982 hit "I Ran (So Far Away)," A Flock of Seagulls' reign as a Top 40 act, while brief, established them as one of the definitive bands of the new wave era. Growing out of the stylish new romantic movement, their combination of lush synths, textured guitar, and a sleek dance-pop landed them on the U.S. Hot 100 four times in all. Despite often being referred to as a one-hit wonder, they charted twice as many times in their native U.K. as in the U.S. between 1981 and 1985, including with the Top Ten hit "Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)." After their fourth album, 1985's Dream Come True, failed to chart, they briefly disbanded, but regrouped with a frequently shifting lineup behind leader Mike Score and toured primarily as a nostalgia act for decades to follow. Hairdresser Mike Score (lead vocals, keyboards) formed A Flock of Seagulls with his brother Ali (drums) and fellow hairdresser Frank Maudsley (bass) in 1980, adding guitarist Paul Reynolds several months later. Bill Nelson's Cocteau Records label issued their first song, the stand-alone single "(It's Not Me) Talking," which reached number 78 on the U.K. singles chart in 1981. The band's debut EP, Modern Love Is Automatic followed quickly on the same label, and its lead track, "Telecommunication," became an underground hit in Euro-disco and new wave clubs. A Flock of Seagulls signed a major-label contract with Jive by the end of the year, and their eponymous debut album appeared in the spring of 1982. It was their third single and first with Jive, "I Ran (So Far Away)," that brought them out of the clubs and into heavy rotation on MTV. Featuring shots of the band and Score's distinctive winged hairstyle, the song's music video became a staple of the summer of 1982, and "I Ran" climbed into the American Top Ten, taking their debut album along with it. The follow-up single "Space Age Love Song" also charted, peaking at number 30. Meanwhile, in the U.K., "I Ran" just missed the Top 40, but "Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)" reached number ten later in the year; in the States, that single became a Top 40 hit in 1983. "Wishing" was taken from the group's second LP, 1983's Listen, which landed in the Top 20 in the U.S., the U.K., and Canada, among other countries. The band had their final U.K. Top 40 hit in 1984 with "The More You Live, the More You Love" from 1984's The Story of a Young Heart, which reached number 30 on the album chart. The song and LP fared slightly less well in the U.S., charting in the 50s and 60s, respectively. Reynolds left soon after and was replaced by Gary Steadman; the band also added keyboardist Chris Chryssaphis. Still crafting club-minded synth pop, the new lineup was showcased on 1986's Dream Come True, which failed to chart, though the single "Who's That Girl (She's Got It)" made an appearance in the U.K. Top 75. Shortly after its release, the band broke up, though Score assembled a new lineup of A Flock of Seagulls in 1988, releasing the single "Magic" and touring the U.S. the following year. The song was eventually included on the 1995 album The Light at the End of the World, which saw Score backed by Ed Berner (guitar), Dean Pichette (bass), and A.J. Mazzetti (drums). More lineup changes ensued as the band reappeared with a cover of "This Used to Be My Playground" for the 2000 album The World's Greatest 80s Tribute to Madonna, on a 2003 episode of VH1's Band Reunited (that featured all the original members), and on a 2004 tour. Over the next ten years, A Flock of Seagulls continued to perform at festivals, charity events, and on '80s-themed summer tours. In March of 2014, Mike Score released the solo album Zeebratta, and in 2018, A Flock of Seagulls returned with their first studio album in over two decades. Titled Ascension, their sixth LP included 11 orchestrated versions of their '80s tunes performed with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, along with one original song. ~ Marcy Donelson, Rovi

Among the best practices for training a Neural Network is to normalize your data to obtain a mean close to 0. Normalizing the data generally speeds up learning and leads to faster convergence. Also, the (logistic) sigmoid function is hardly ever used anymore as an activation function in hidden layers of Neural Networks, because the tanh function (among others) seems to be strictly superior.

Among the best practices for training a Neural Network is to normalize your data to obtain a mean close to 0. Normalizing the data generally speeds up learning and leads to faster convergence. Question from categories: convolutional neural network Does neural network output need to be normalized using? Is neural network scale with input? What is passed to input neural in neural network? 💻 Does neural network output need to be normalized? For regression problems you don't normally normalize the outputs.

Answered by Joanne Bradtke on Sun, May 2, 2021 3:18 PM In a neural network, the outputs of the nodes in one layer are used as the inputs for the nodes in the next layer. Therefore, the activation function determines the range of the inputs to the nodes in the following layer. If you use sigmoid as an activation function, the inputs to the nodes in the following layer will all range between 0 and 1. Answered by Laisha Schinner on Tue, May 4, 2021 4:22 AM Why do we have to normalize the input for a neural network? I understand that sometimes when for example the input values are non-numerical a certain transformation must be performed, but when we have a numerical input? Why the numbers must be in a certain interval? What will happen if the data is not normalized? Answered by Eloy Reinger on Tue, May 4, 2021 5:39 PM Another technique widely used in deep learning is batch normalization. Instead of normalizing only once before applying the neural network, the output of each level is normalized and used as input of the next level.

Answered by Edna Kuhlman on Fri, May 7, 2021 8:56 PM Moreover, if your inputs and target outputs are on a completely different scale than the typical -1 to 1 range, the default parameters for your neural network (ie. learning rates) will likely be ill-suited for your data. Implementation. It's a common practice to scale your data inputs to have zero mean and unit variance. Answered by Aaliyah Crona on Sat, May 8, 2021 12:04 PM $\begingroup$ With neural networks you have to. Otherwise, you will immediately saturate the hidden units, then their gradients will be near zero and no learning will be possible. It's not about modelling (neural networks don't assume any distribution in the input data), but about numerical issues. $\endgroup$ – bayerj Jan 17 '12 at 6:54 Answered by Frankie Klein on Sun, May 9, 2021 9:35 AM Normalizing your inputs corresponds to two steps, the first is to subtract out or to zero out the mean, so your sets mu equals 1 over m, sum over I of x_i. This is a vector and then x gets set as x minus mu for every training example. This means that you just move the training set until it has zero mean. Then the second step is to normalize the ... Answered by Mara Stracke on Mon, May 10, 2021 8:51 AM Subtracting the mean centers the input to 0, and dividing by the standard deviation makes any scaled feature value the number of standard deviations away from the mean.

We teamed up with U by Kotex to help advance its goal to ensure nothing gets in the way of a woman’s progress, especially not her period or the negative perceptions around periods. By normalizing conversations around periods, we can improve period experiences and our relationships to our bodies. Let's rewrite the script! Ashley Novoa didn't intend to become a period-poverty activist. She only stumbled upon the issue after watching a video online about period poverty in the homeless community. However, once she started the work, she never stopped. Six years ago, she organized a drive among her friends and family to collect period-health supplies to donate to a local shelter — but soon realized this one-time initiative was to become her full-time mission. That's when she founded the Chicago Period Project, a nonprofit that focuses on empowering people in need to experience their period with dignity. Novoa and CPP have since donated more than 750,000-period products to people in need. "If we do the work to break [down] stigmas and normalize menstruation, it will be easier to bridge those gaps to make sure everyone has adequate access to menstrual supplies," she said. This issue is a reality for millions of women in the US. Just last year, one in five (that is 21 percent!) women had to ask to borrow a period product due to lack of income, according to a 2021 study from U by Kotex. Even before starting CPP, Novoa experienced firsthand the stigmas around menstruation that can run rampant in Latinx communities. As the daughter of Mexican immigrants, she said, there was little to no information given to her about periods. "Growing up, I found my experience was quite similar to a lot of my Latinx friends," Novoa said. "Our parents didn't tell us about periods, or anything about reproductive health for that matter. When I got my period at 12, I literally thought I was dying." Even something as simple as using a tampon can lead to misconceptions. In many Latinx families, ideas like that tampons aren't safe or can even take your virginity are all too common — according to a study published in the Journal of Pediatric & Adolescent Gynecology, more Black and Latina English-speaking women reported that their mothers disapproved of tampons. "I was that young, Mexican girl whose mother called her a 'cochina' for even mentioning tampons," Novoa said. "Which tia started the rumor at the family party that tampons took your virginity? Even now, I'm 34, and when I told my mom I switched to a menstrual cup, she gave me the look." Beyond the mental health ramifications of these stigmas, Latinx people are the most likely to experience period poverty — meaning they cannot afford period products. According to a new study by BMC Women's Health Journal, in 2020, one in five first-generation students experienced period poverty and one in 10 college students couldn't afford menstrual-health products, with Latinx students at the forefront. To help mitigate this situation affecting students, Novoa and CPP partnered with Chicago Public Schools after finding out most teachers had to buy period supplies for their students with their own money. "You would think schools would provide [period products], but that wasn't the case," Novoa said. "If teachers didn't supply pads or tampons, their students were missing school multiple days during their cycle if they didn't have access to menstrual products." In addition to making period products more widely available and combating stigmas young people face around period, Novoa is on a larger mission to change the conversation around periods, especially within the Latinx community. "Our periods should be such a joyous moment, especially our first ones," she said. "However, so many of us experience them for the first time and are not equipped with the information, resources, or support we need to maintain our periods. Being educated about reproductive health is the first step in giving us the tools to advocate for our bodies."

Outlast 2 (stylized as OU⸸LASTII) is a first-person survival horror video game developed and published by Red Barrels. It is the sequel to the 2013 video game Outlast, and features a journalist named Blake Langermann, along with his wife Lynn, roaming the Arizona desert to explore the murder of a pregnant woman only known as Jane Doe. Blake and Lynn get separated in a helicopter crash, and Blake has to find his wife while traveling through a village inhabited by a deranged sect that believes the end of days are upon them. Shortly after the release and popularity of Outlast, Red Barrels announced the sequel. A gameplay demo was then released at both PAX East and E3 2016 on April 22 and June 15 respectively, with a release originally slated for Autumn 2016. Due to development delays, the game was ultimately released on April 25, 2017 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The Nintendo Switch version released on March 27, 2018 on the Nintendo eShop. The game was met with generally positive reviews upon release, with praise going towards the graphics, sound design, and atmosphere. Criticisms were reserved for the gameplay design and perceived difficulty. Gameplay Show/hide text Outlast 2 is a first-person survival horror game that, like its predecessors Outlast and Outlast: Whistleblower, is a single-player campaign. It is set in Northern Arizona. The game continues the found footage characteristics from the first game. The player controls the investigative journalist Blake Langermann, who investigates a dilapidated rural area in Supai, near the western edge of the Colorado Plateau. Langermann cannot fight except in scripted scenes, but must run and hide from the numerous hostile members of Temple Gate. He also wears glasses, which limit the player's vision if they fall off. The player can crouch, run, jump, walk, vault, slide and climb much like the first game and can hide in lockers, barrels, wardrobes, beds, pools of water, tall grass, cornfields, and inside of houses. He has a limited stamina meter and the player must manage how long he runs, lest he becomes exhausted and move more slowly. Langermann possesses only a camcorder, which has night vision capabilities, though the camcorder's batteries are also drained when night vision is used. Compared to the first game, Langermann's status as a cameraman means he carries a more advanced camera, one with clearer footage, zoom, and a sensitive microphone that can be used to detect distant footsteps and other noises. The player is equipped with an inventory system displaying the amount of footage recorded on the camera and the items they are carrying. Spare batteries suitable for the camcorder and med kits to heal are spread throughout the game. Plot Blake Langermann, an investigative journalist and cameraman working alongside his wife, Lynn, crash-lands in the Supai region of the Coconino County region of Arizona, while following the mysterious murder of a young, pregnant woman known only as Jane Doe. When he wakes up after the crash, Blake finds the pilot of their helicopter skinned and crucified, and his wife missing. Blake makes his way to a nearby town, Temple Gate, where he learns that the town has sacrificed all their children in the name of God. Blake eventually locates Lynn in a chapel, captured by a violent and delirious cult led by "Papa" Sullivan Knoth. Knoth claims that Temple Gate lies on the mouth of Hell, and that Lynn is pregnant with the Anti-Christ. They escape the chapel, but Lynn falters, suffering from stomach cramps. The couple are separated when Lynn is kidnapped by the Heretics, an animalistic rival cult who wish to hasten the end of days, and their androgynous leader Val. Blake is rescued by a man named Ethan who has left Knoth's cult. He tells Blake that Knoth rapes the women of Temple Gate and, once they are pregnant, orders them executed on suspicion of carrying the Anti-Christ. Fearing this fate for his daughter Anna Lee, Ethan convinced her to flee, and she became the Jane Doe that Blake and Lynn were investigating. As Blake rests under Ethan's house, Marta, an imposing woman wielding a large pickaxe and who is one of Knoth's executioners, breaks into the home and kills Ethan after accusing him of heresy. Blake flees to another chapel, where he learns from a tortured Heretic being interrogated by Knoth that Lynn is imprisoned in the mines under Temple Gate. Throughout his journey, Blake suffers from progressively more disturbing hallucinations based on his childhood, all while pursued by a grotesque monster. The hallucinations gradually reveal the events surrounding the death of Blake and Lynn's childhood friend, Jessica Gray, at their Catholic elementary school. Blake and Jessica, while staying late at their school, were caught by one of their teachers, Father Loutermilch, who is implied to have been molesting Jessica. Loutermilch sent Blake away, but as Blake was about to leave the school, he heard Jessica's screams and saw her being chased. Blake discovered her to have fallen down a staircase, breaking her neck, with Loutermilch at the top of the stairs. Loutermilch covered up her death as a suicide by hanging, and the monster that has been chasing Blake throughout the school is a perverse, twisted version of how he sees the priest. Surviving numerous encounters with Marta and the region's other inhabitants, including the syphilis-infected 'scalled' who were cast out from Temple Gate, Blake escapes the town and finds a document revealing that the Murkoff Corporation is the cause for everyone's insanity due to an experimental mind control station hidden deep in the mountains, with the Heretics being affected far more severely by the waves due to their closer positioning of the station. Arriving at the mines, Blake enters Val's underground temple and finds Lynn, suddenly visibly pregnant. Knoth's cult finally reach them and kill the Heretics, allowing the pair to flee. As dawn breaks, a freak lightning storm begins to destroy the town. Marta reappears and attacks Blake and Lynn, but a cross toppled by lightning from the chapel in the distance impales her. Blake and Lynn hurry to the chapel; Lynn gives birth, but dies soon afterwards. Blake blacks out holding the newborn, implied to be a hallucination by Lynn's last words "there's nothing there". Knoth greets Blake as he wakes up. He claims that he had to kill all of his followers, and implores Blake to kill the child before slitting his own throat. As Blake walks outside, he sees that Knoth's followers have committed mass suicide via poisoning in preparation for the apocalypse, while Mozart's Ave verum corpus is playing in the background. The sun grows brighter and Blake is engulfed by the light. He has a final vision of chasing Jessica through the school; when he catches her, she promises that she will never let him go, and they start praying. Reception Outlast 2 received "generally favorable" reviews, according to video game review aggregator Metacritic. Destructoid's Nic Rowen scored the game an 8/10 with the consensus "Impressive effort with a few noticeable problems holding it back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth most people's time and cash." James Kozanitis from Game Revolution gave the game a score of 4.5 out of 5 stars saying that "A good horror game should make you dread the idea of playing it, but keep you glued to the screen while you actually are. Outlast 2 is that game. While more involved fans might be disappointed as to how the story resolves, I found it hit the sweet spot between overly expository and frustratingly vague. Segments from Outlast 2 are forever burned into my memories, acting as much as a traumatic experience as it was an exhilarating one. The thematic elements present throughout make the game even more high-stakes, taking a toll on you as a moral human being. God doesn’t love Outlast 2 – not like I do." Louise Blain of GamesRadar+ awarded it 2.5 out of 5 stars stating that, "Horrific in completely the wrong way, Outlast 2 is a night-vision journey into frustration. An intriguing story just can’t save the infuriating misery that awaits." Lucy O'Brien's score of 8.3/10 on IGN said that "Outlast 2 is a terrifying successor to the 2013 original that keeps the scares coming at a relentless pace." "Stealth and pursuit haven’t changed much in Outlast 2, but it excels as a beautiful, brutal journey through extreme spiritual anxieties," was James Davenport's conclusion on PC Gamer with a score of 85/100. 7.5/10 was Philip Kollar's score on Polygon with the consensus: "Outlast 2 may be the single most qualified recommendation I’ve given in my history of writing reviews, and not just because of its occasionally stilted design. This is a game that often left me feeling like complete trash. It brought up some of the most difficult memories in my life, issues I had buried long ago. My reactions to that anguish have run the gamut, but more than anything, I respect that Outlast 2 has the singular focus and intensity to dredge up those emotions; that alone made it worth the time spent for me." Alice Bell's 6/10 score on VideoGamer.com stated that "Outlast 2 has some great design elements, and the night-vision handy-cam mechanic is still scary. But the jump scares and gore don't mix right with the elements of psychological horror, and the story retreads horror tropes that didn't need retreading."

I have always had a passion for movies as I spend most of my days watching them and ranting about them, so why not share my opinions online? What is Horror? A horror film is a movie that can draw a physiological reaction from the audience, this can be a faster heartbeat for example. This is done through the use of fear and shocking the audience. This is often inspired from authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley but horror has existed as a film genre for more than a century. Horror films can also be used to evoke the viewers nightmares, fears, revulsions and terror of the unknown taking place in the film, so isn't it amazing that we put ourselves through all this fear and panic for hours at a time for entertainment? It sounds almost odd that we do this and will continue to do this for the rest of time. For the films listed below, I will look into the elements of a story and how these particular elements are adapted for a horror film. For example, the setting. Saw Theme: The main theme in Saw is revenge carried out by Jigsaw on people who do not appreciate the life they have been given by giving them a choice of solving a puzzle or making decisions in order to survive a trap laid out by Jigsaw. The overall aim is for people who don’t deserve their life to die and those who are willing to fight for their own existence can live. The victims never see Jigsaw, they only hear his voice through a puppet, which is different to typical horror films where the tormentor is seen by the victims. This has an affect on the sanity of the individuals involved in Jigsaws’ game because they question whether the game is real or just a sick joke. By creating a film where the reason for the characters' deaths are because of their own actions, it makes viewers afraid because they start to think about all the bad things they have done in their lives and might even convince themselves that a real serial killer could do this to them if they knew about all of their bad decisions and immoral actions. Therefore, the film feels quite personal and leaves audiences fearing for their lives. IT (2017) Characterisation in IT: Verbal: Pennywise appeals to Georgie at the beginning and lures him in because Georgie is younger, so he is easily manipulated. Whereas with the older children, they know not to talk to him and to run away as quickly as possible, forcing pennywise to take shape of their fears instead of talking to them as he knows he can't get to the older kids as easily as he could to Georgie as he didn't know any better. Visual: Pennywise is inhuman because he takes shape of what the other characters fear most. It is infinite, ageless and immortal, which is why he is so terrifying because we are made to believe there is no way to defeat him, so we lose hope for the kids quite quickly. Another characteristic that the producers included is that Pennywise has one eye looking into the camera and one eye looking at the character he is talking to. This is to make the audience feel like they are there in the scene because he always has one eye on you. It draws the audience in and makes them feel like Pennywise is looking directly at them, so you get put into the moment and feel the same fear the kids are experiencing. Read More From Reelrundown Terror and the Shield-Maiden: How Eowyn Deals With Her Fear Should I Watch..? 'Sin City' Top 20 Movie Predictions That Actually Came True Sub-Genres of Horror Saw is mainly seen as a horror film, but it is classified by the public as a ‘splatter film’, which deliberately focuses on graphic portrayals of gore and graphic violence to show the vulnerability of the human body. Another sub-genre is a cult film. This is not specific to horror but a classic example of this is, From Dusk till Dawn, where excessive displays of violence, gore, sexuality and profanity are featured throughout and can lead to censorship or a ban of the film. These types of films have devoted fan bases who enjoy these elements in a movie. Horror-Comedy is a popular sub-genre as it allows audiences who do not like the feeling of being afraid to enjoy the comedic version of classic horror films by pointing out their flaws. For example, Scary Movie is filled with satirical attacks on slasher movies and Shaun of the Dead is hilarious because of it’s relatable reactions to a zombie apocalypse. The Silence of the Lambs is a suspenseful horror-thriller movie that has psychological and criminal foundations that drive the entire film throughout. Despite the occasional violent scenes, the main features of this film are the disturbing and eerie conversations between Hannibal Lecter and Clarice. Lecter really changes the detective-chasing-killer formula that is present in typical horror/thriller films. Audience Expectations The audience expectations of a horror is to be afraid by experiencing fear through jump scares and suspense created from the film they are watching. To help build tension in the film, music is used to add the effect of terror. For the psychological-horror-thriller based films, the audience is expecting to have a more thought-provoking plot, which can lead to the audience watching it multiple times to better understand it. With Scary Movie for example, the audience expects to have the film make fun of the classic horror films and more recent horror movies by adding comedy, so they know exactly what they're in for. Conclusion To conclude, all films have their individual differences and that is what makes them stand out from every other movie. However, due to the factors that must be included in horror films, like jump scares and suspenseful music, the movies that fit into this genre can seem very similar. If you compared a romantic movie to a horror movie, there would be many differences. Whereas, if you compared two different horror films, then there would be many similarities due to the common qualities these films need to have in order to be considered as a horror. Some Horror films are predictable and stick to these general qualities so a viewer can guess what is going to happen to the characters involved, but there are some exceptions to this where a horror film is entirely unpredictable and surprising to the audience. For example, The Sixth Sense has one of the biggest twist endings of all time that no one saw coming. If you haven't seen it already, I would watch it as soon as possible if I were you because you are extremely lucky that no one has spoiled it for you yet! Overall, I believe that we put ourselves through these harrowing movies, partly because we want to feel a rush of adrenaline and mainly because it makes us feel alive. Of course there are some people out there who do not understand this feeling and they just feel terrified during the whole ordeal. However, for a lot of us, horror films leave us on the edge of our seats whilst we feel genuine panic for the characters involved and we find it thrilling because it is not us in that situation. We are able to sit back and find comfort in the fact that we are not going through what they are. Whereas, if you watched a romantic film and you were single and sad about it, then watching other people happy and in love would make you start to question your own life and feel rather upset. But with horror films, you can find great satisfaction in knowing that you are not being chased by a maniac with a machete and you can return to your joyous life, unlike the characters involved. Horror movies might give you nightmares for a number of nights and you might be checking under your bed before you go to sleep, but that won't stop you from putting yourself through it all over again in a week or so now will it?

Like many people, I’ve been keeping a close eye on the news regarding the availability of COVID-19 vaccines, and thinking about when I might be eligible to receive one. A full 12 months into the pandemic, as vaccinations started to pick up in our community and around the country, I started to feel a bit more hopeful about getting back to a more normal daily routine. Since the vaccines became available, I’ve always planned to get one when it was offered to me. I was motivated by the feeling of being personally protected from the virus, but also to help with the overall goal of “herd immunity” — the more people who are immune, the safer we’ll all be in the long run. For the past year I have been staying within the guidelines, thinking that it was the least I could do to make sure I wasn’t contributing to the spread of the virus even as I’ve felt pretty isolated and a bit lonely at times. (Side note: I adopted an awesome dog a few months ago, and that’s been a huge help in keeping my spirits up! 🐶) I am pretty fortunate that I have a great job that allows me to work remotely (and will for the foreseeable future), and I’m generally healthy. My good health also means that I would be among the last people eligible in Washoe County — probably no earlier than May or June by my last estimate. COVID-19 Vaccines for Veterans Then I’d read a note about the Southern District of the Nevada VA hospital offering vaccinations to any veteran, regardless of age, and I began to wonder when the VA here in Reno might do the same (since I’m a veteran). On Saturday, 3/6, I got the news that the VA in Reno was holding vaccination clinics for veterans of all ages, so I called and made an appointment. I was really impressed with how easy the process of getting the vaccine ended up being at the VA hospital. It was clearly an “all hands on deck” evolution — from the people screening us in line, to the check-in process, to the staging areas before the shots were administered, to the final step of monitoring for any after effects — I was in and out of the hospital, COVID vaccination card in hand, in under 45 minutes. So Now What? I know that there are new CDC guidelines for what “fully vaccinated” people can do with regard to masks, and meeting up with family members. That said, I don’t intend to make any radical changes to my current social plans once my immunity fully kicks in, and I will be wearing a mask when I’m in proximity to others, as per the current Nevada state mandate. What I am considering — getting back to my masters swim workouts, which I’ve desperately missed this winter. As for the overall experience, I feel very fortunate that I was able to quickly get a shot and that, so far (three days in), I’ve had zero side effects. I know the effort to get as many Americans vaccinated as quickly as possible is no easy task. And I am keenly aware that there are communities that are not nearly as well-served as the veterans here in northern Nevada. I hope that our local officials and healthcare providers can work through the challenges and we’ll all look back at this experience and learn from it. As a final thought, I was surprised to feel as relieved as I do in getting vaccinated. From the moment I made my appointment, and later walked out of the VA hospital, I’ve realized just how much the year-long weight of this pandemic and a sort of low-level anxiety has affected me personally. I know there are so many families that have been impacted by this virus and I have much to be grateful for.

Separate teams of scientists have successfully decoded the genetic makeup of the wild strawberry and a certain type of cacao used to make fine chocolate. The efforts could yield new insights into the healthful benefits of these foods and development of more nutritional varieties, reports CNN: Strawberries are rich in many kinds of compounds implicated in health benefits, such as antioxidants. Antioxidants may guard your body from free radicals, atoms or groups of atoms that can damage cells. Understanding the genes underlying the synthesis of these beneficial substances may lead to the creation of strawberries that produce higher amounts of those compounds. The cocoa study, similarly, could lead to the invention of more nutritious chocolate, said Mark Guiltinan, professor of plant molecular biology at Pennsylvania State University, who collaborated with a large consortium of researchers from around the world. They found 96 genes in the flavonoid pathway; flavonoids are compounds thought to improve artery health and reduce inflammation. Special breeding could increase those flavonoids. The wild strawberry and Theobroma cacao genome studies were published online today in Nature Genetics. Both studies were funded by a combination of academic, federal government and industry sources. Strawberry industry groups provided support for the fruit study and Hershey Corp. contributed to the research on cacao.

The neighborhood covers an area east of the United States Capitol along wide avenues. It is one of the oldest residential communities in Washington. Its two square miles house 35,000 people, so it is one of the most densely populated neighborhoods. The phrase "Capitol Hill" can sometime mean the United States Congress instead of the neighborhood. Capitol Hill is also a hill as well as a neighborhood. The hill rises in the center of the District of Columbia and extends eastward. Pierre L'Enfant, as he began to develop his plan for the new Federal City in 1791, chose to locate the "Congress House" on the crest of the hill, facing the city, a site that L'Enfant characterized as a "pedestal waiting for a monument." A large portion of the neighborhood is now designated as the Capitol Hill historic district. The name Capitol Hill is often used to refer to both the historic district and to the larger neighborhood around it. To the east of Capitol Hill lies the Anacostia River, to the north is the H Street corridor, to the south are the Southeast/Southwest Freeway and the Washington Navy Yard, and to the west are the National Mall and the city's central business district. Contents 1 History 2 Description 3 References 4 Other websites History[change | change source] L'Enfant referred to the hill chosen as the site of the future Congress House as "Jenkins Hill" or "Jenkins Heights." However, the tract of land had for many years belonged to the Carroll family and was noted in their records of ownership as "New Troy." Some people have said that a man named Jenkins had once pastured some livestock at the site of the Capitol (and thus his name was associated with the site), artist John Trumbull, who would paint several murals inside the Capitol's rotunda, reported in 1791 that the site was covered with a thick wood, making it an unlikely place for livestock to graze. Noone knows who Jenkins was and how his name became associated with the hill, as reported by L'Enfant.[1] United States Capitol The neighborhood that is now called Capitol Hill started to develop when the government began work at two locations, the Capitol and the Washington Navy Yard. It became a distinct community between 1799 and 1810 as the federal government became a major employer. The first stage in its early history was that of a boarding house community developed for members of Congress. In the early years of the Republic, few Congressmen wished to establish permanent residence in the city. Instead, most preferred to live in boarding houses within walking distance of the Capitol. In 1799 the Washington Navy Yard was established on the banks of the Anacostia River, and provided jobs to craftsmen who built and repaired ships. Many of the craftsmen who were employed both at the Navy Yard and in the construction of the Capitol chose to live within walking distance, to the east of the Capitol and the north of the Navy Yard. They became the original residential population of the neighborhood. In 1806, President Thomas Jefferson selected the location of the Marine Barracks, which had to be within marching distance of both the Capitol and the White House, not far from the Washington Navy Yard. By 1810, shops, goldsmiths, blacksmiths, and churches were flourishing in the area. The Civil War resulted in more building in the Capitol Hill area, including new hospitals. Building new houses continued in the 1870s and 1880s. The neighborhood began to divide along racial and economic class lines. Electricity, piped water, and plumbing were introduced in the 1890s, and were first available in the downtown areas of the District of Columbia, including Capitol Hill. There was a real estate development boom between 1890 and 1910 as the Capitol Hill area became one of the first neighborhoods having these modern conveniences. In 1976, the National Park Service added the Capitol Hill Historic District to the National Register of Historic Places. It is one of the largest historic districts in the United States. The boundaries of the historic district are irregular, extending southward from F Street NE, as far east as 14th Street, as far west as South Capitol Street, and with a southern limit marked chiefly by Virginia Avenue but including some territory as far south as M Street SE. It includes buildings from the Federal period (1800 to 1820) through 1919, but most of the buildings are late Victorian. Capitol Hill has remained a fairly stable middle-class neighborhood throughout its existence. It suffered a period of economic decline and rising crime in the mid-20th century but gradually recovered. During the so-called "Crack Epidemic" of the 1980s, its fringes were often affected. More recently, the neighborhood has undergone intense gentrification. Description[change | change source] Capitol Hill's landmarks include not only the United States Capitol, but also the Senate and House office buildings, the Supreme Court building, the Library of Congress, the Marine Barracks, the Washington Navy Yard, and Congressional Cemetery. It is, however, largely a residential neighborhood composed predominantly of rowhouses of different stylistic varieties and periods. Side by side exist early 19th century manor houses, Federal townhouses, small frame dwellings, ornate Italianate bracketed houses and the late 19th century press brick rowhouses with their often whimsical decorative elements combining Richardsonian Romanesque, Queen Anne, and Eastlakian motifs. The main shopping corridor of Capitol Hill is Pennsylvania Avenue. It has shops, restaurants and bars. Eastern Market is an 1873 public market on 7th Street SE, where vendors sell fresh meat and produce in indoor stalls and at outdoor farmers' stands. It is also the site of an outdoor flea market every weekend. After a major fire gutted the main market building on April 30, 2007, it underwent restoration and reopened on June 26, 2009. The Hiram W. Johnson House, a National Historic Landmark located on Capitol Hill Barracks Row (8th Street SE), so called because of its proximity to the U.S. Marine Barracks, is one of the city's oldest commercial corridors. It dates to the late 18th century and has recently been revitalized. More recently, the Old Naval Hospital has been converted into Hill Center, a new community center.[2] It is at the corner of 9th and Pennsylvania Avenue SE. The rehabilitation of the Old Naval Hospital combines the restoration of a historically significant landmark with the cutting edge technologies of modern “green” architecture. Hill Center is a vibrant new home for cultural, educational and civic life on Capitol Hill. Recent estimates in Capitol Hill newspapers suggest as many as a third of all Members of Congress live on Capitol Hill while in Washington. Famous people who were born in the Capitol Hill neighborhood include John Philip Sousa (whose birthplace, on G St., is still standing) and J. Edgar Hoover. Frederick Douglass's former house can be found in the 300 block of A Street Northeast. (In the 1970s the Douglass house was later used as an African Art Museum by Warren M. Robbins). Capitol Hill has several local community newspapers, such as the Hill Rag.

What You Need To Know Not only has the pandemic caused an increase in children entering the foster care system worldwide, but it has also led the number of potential adoptive parents to drop KidSave Colombia representatives said the government along with other entities have been forced to add new beds and even open new orphanages to cope with the increase An estimated 153 million children worldwide are orphans according to UNICEF If you’re interested in learning more about Sarah, Victoria or adoptions you can visit he Kidsave website at www.kidsave.org "I was so excited, I was counting down the days," Sarah said in Spanish. "This is our first time leaving the country, flying on a plane and seeing the U.S." The two sisters are in the U.S. as part of the Kidsave Summer Miracles Program, a nonprofit that brings foster and orphan kids from abroad and lets them spend a few weeks in the U.S. meeting and bonding with potential adoptive families. "It was an opportunity I wasn’t expecting," Sarah said. "I though this moment would never come, because at my age it can be hard." For Sarah, the COVID-19 pandemic had a big impact on a possible adoption because she will soon age out of the system. As things open back up, she has until next March — her 18th birthday — to find a parent. "It’s very difficult because you’re lonely without parents," she said. "Without having that support, without someone telling you good job, you did it, you got good grades, I don’t have that." Sarah, who was born with a cleft lip, cleft palate and congenital arrhinia, has been in the foster care system now for 11 years. As the clock ticks, the sisters have relied on each other more and more as their chance of getting adopted shrinks with each passing day. “She has been my help, my support, everything is going to be ok,” said Sarah. An estimated 153 million children worldwide are orphans according to UNICEF. Maria Camila Moreno, Sarah and Victoria’s chaperone and coordinator for Kidsave Colombia, said the pandemic has had a double whammy impact on the industry. "Since the first lockdown in Colombia we saw how numbers started rising in Colombia," said Moreno. "With [the] impact in the economy, people losing their jobs, they could not provide for their kids. They could not provide them with food, shelter [and] all they need. So we saw a 50% increase in kids being placed in the [foster care] system." The nonprofit has added beds and even opened new orphanages, Moreno said, but that is only one problem. The other is that the number of potential adoptive parents has also dropped. “That’s also one of the issues we have been seeing, families that lost their jobs so they don’t have the economic resources to pay for an adoption in Colombia,” said Moreno. Even finding families to host for a few weeks has been a challenge, but Amanda and JoBen Barkey stepped up. “We’ve all experienced loss through the pandemic in varying degrees, and we may have lost income and opportunities through this past year, but we still have so much more than these kids have,” said Amanda.

The economic and emotional impact of fair closures The Barkeys know this firsthand because back in 2018, they adopted Sebastian, an orphan from Colombia. The video of them asking him to join their family went viral. "We have a three-bedroom house, and there is nine of us in it," said JoBen. "So it’s very doable and it’s comfortable. If there is room in your heart, there is room in your home." Until Sarah and Victoria find a forever home, they will be spending their summer days with the Barkeys. “I don’t know what a family is like, and this summer, I’m going to be given a chance to experience that love for the first time,” said Sarah.

A group of Ethiopian migrants seek shelter beneath a tree while a friend checks the empty highway for a possible ride, dwarfed by the Guban (Burned) Plains near Berbera, Somalia. The men have walked hundreds of kilometres on their journey to the port city of Bossaso, where they hope to be smuggled into Yemen and ultimately, to the Gulf in search of work, unaware that they will instead join millions of other migrants worldwide stranded mid-journey. IOM Photo /Muse Mohammed From Bolivia to Berlin, Bosasso to Bangkok, by the middle of July an IOM report confirmed that more than 2.75 million migrants were stranded in the midst of their migratory journeys as a result of COVID-19, often in precarious situations. A widow from Myanmar struggled to feed her family in Thailand; an Ethiopian mother of six searched for a husband missing in Somalia; a couple and their one-year-old daughter traveled 1,800 km by bus through Chile only to find their passage home blocked. The reasons were many: roughly 220 countries imposed over 90,000 travel and mobility restrictions, unemployment in sectors traditionally filled by migrant labour soared pushing many to make the hard decision to return to their countries of origin, while others faced the threat pushbacks, or deportation as visas and permits expired. While some nations responded by extending health care and social support services to migrants regardless of their legal status, others did not. Stigmatization and xenophobia rose, and the risk of detention in already overcrowded facilities, and homelessness, grew. Since that time, the types of dialogues between nations encouraged by the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration has allowed hundreds of thousands of migrants to return home in a secure and dignified manner while addressing the important public health issues posed by COVID-19. On International Migrants Day 2020, we revisit the stories of stranded migrants in 17 countries and call for further cooperation to ensure they are fully integrated into COVID-19 planning and provided equitable access to vaccines. Thailand | Eastern Migration Route | Egypt | Zimbabwe | The Sahel | Georgia | Russian Federation | Germany | United Kingdom | Chile | Panama | Mexico Thailand By mid-July, IOM estimated nearly 977,000 migrants were stranded in the Asia Pacific. Some of the defining images of the global mobility lockdown were those of the tens of thousands of migrant workers pouring across the Thai border into Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos in late March. In a three-week period prior to sweeping border closures, an estimated 260,000 people left the country and an unknown number continue to do so through irregular routes. There are between four to five million migrant workers in Thailand, drawn to labour-intensive sectors such as agriculture, fisheries & food processing and construction, and the country’s vibrant tourism industry; roughly 2.7 million are registered with the government. (L-R) KYAW lives with his wife and their 11-month-old twin boys. They are from Rakhine State in Myanmar and have been living in Thailand for almost six years. Kyaw works in a fish factory but he has been out of a job since March. Also from Rakhine State, KOH left his wife in Myanmar one year ago to move in with his adult son and look for work. He laboured on a construction site for about three months before the State of Emergency was declared but has only had a week’s paid work since March. ZAR ZAR recently moved in with her mother, after her husband, a fisherman, died at sea. She has two sons aged three years and three months. She had just started fish grading work before COVID-19 and has been without a job since late March. SAN migrated from Dawei, Myanmar 20 years ago. She’s been unemployed since a local factory closed in March. She and her husband, who was laid off from his job repairing fishing boats, haven’t seen their children since inter-provincial travel restrictions came into effect and are now living with their grandchildren. In early April, the Thai Chamber of Commerce estimated that about seven million jobs had already been lost and that were the pandemic to persist the number could climb to 10 million: there are 38 million people in the Thai workforce. IOM is trying to meet the basic needs of stranded migrants; over 200 particularly vulnerable families are receiving monthly food and hygiene supplies but, as is the case in all of the countries featured here, the needs are high and there are simply not enough resources available. EASTERN MIGRATION ROUTE Somalia Farhiya and her eight-month old son await return assistance to Ethiopia at a reception centre in Bossaso, Somalia. She arrived in the country five months ago searching for her husband who’d left without a word. She heard rumors that he was looking for work in Saudi Arabia, so Farhiya hitchhiked to Somalia with her youngest child and walked desert roads in a failed attempt to find him. “I have five other children to look after, so I’m going home.” IOM Photo/Muse Mohammed Scores of migrants, mainly from landlocked Ethiopia, pass through Bossaso in neighbouring Somalia along the so-called Eastern Migration Route from the Horn of Africa, across the Strait of Hormuz, through conflict-torn Yemen to the Gulf, principally the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in search of work every year. Two-thirds of the 138,000 people who crossed the busiest maritime migration route on earth in 2019 boarded smugglers vessels here in Puntland state. Despite border closures and other movement restrictions that stranded at least 2,500 people in the region, migrants continued to attempt the journey. IOM documented approximately 600 reaching Bossaso in Puntland in a single day in April. But now, there’s nowhere to go. “I have been here for around three months,” said 19-year-old Fassil from the Tigray region in Ethiopia. “The coronavirus has changed everything. I cannot continue, I cannot go back because all borders are closed.” IOM receives hundreds of migrants stranded in remote areas in Somalia every week, many in need of medical assistance. Some were abandoned by smugglers and traffickers; others endured much on their journeys and decide to return home. At the Migrant Resource Centre, IOM staff provide clothing, shelter for separated and unaccompanied minors, health assistance, as well as support to return voluntarily to their country of origin. IOM Photo/Muse Mohammed Anti-migrant xenophobia and stigma fueled by misinformation are growing since the first cases of COVID-19 were reported in Puntland in mid-April. “We do our best to help them... however, if their numbers increase, and they cannot cross the sea due to the closure of borders, their well-being will be in great danger,” says Ahmed Shirie, the Chairman of the Ethiopian community in Bossaso who are already assisting 400 stranded people. Djibouti The road to Djibouti. Photo: IOM Photo/ MOHAMED ALI Moustapha While the majority of migrants pass through Bosaso, roughly 38 percent of migrants will depart form Djibouti, a second mainland African terminus of the Easter migration route. As is the case with its sprawling southern neighbour, COVID-19-induced border closures, movement restrictions and a crackdown on smugglers plying the route has stranded over 1,500 Ethiopian migrants in 25 different locations across the country as of April 2020.   Yemen IOM's report on stranded migrants globally concluded COVID-19 mobility restrictions stranded over 1.2 million people in the Middle East and North Africa, the overwhelming majority in the Gulf. Through more than five years of conflict, Yemen remained the corridor through which tens of thousands of migrants from the Horn of Africa pass every year on their journey to Saudi Arabia in search of work.   While the numbers plummeted from 11,101 in January to 1,725 in April, movement restrictions and increased vigilance along the border resulted in many thousands of people being stranded in a war zone, unable to advance to their destination or retreat to safety. An increasing number face crowded and often unsanitary conditions in transit, detention and quarantine centres.  As fears of the virus increased and more and more people saw their loved ones and neighbours become ill, migrants were increasingly stigmatized as “transmitters of disease”. In the past they have been blamed for bringing cholera to Yemen.    There is no evidence that one group is more responsible for the transmission of COVID-19 or cholera than another. The xenophobia and scapegoating campaigns lead to retaliation against migrants, including physical and verbal harassment, forced quarantine, denial of access to health services, movement restrictions, and forced movements to frontline conflict and desert areas, leaving them stranded without food, water and essential services.   Egypt Migrants are often the first to be laid off during difficult times, leaving vulnerable people more exposed than ever, reliant on assistance for even basic necessities. The economic fallout from COVID-19 fell particularly heavily on migrants in Egypt.  Their exact numbers are unknown but the possibility of work has drawn thousands of Sudanese, South Sudanese, Yemenis, Ethiopians, Eritreans and others to Cairo and Alexandrea in particular.     “Food is a grave concern for all right now,” said Muzzamel Soliman, a Sudanese Fulani leader in Cairo. “Many have lost their jobs and had to move houses as they no longer have any source of income. Some can barely feed themselves or their families.”    In cooperation with the Egyptian Red Crescent, IOM Egypt has provided thousands of stranded migrant families with food boxes containing rice, pasta, beans, sugar and other essential basic needs like hygiene kits in the country’s two largest cities. The Organization operates a hotline to refer migrants to financial and legal services, medical screenings, and housing allowances for urgent cases.  Zimbabwe Abandoned by smugglers on their journey to South Africa, these Malawian migrants returned home recently with IOM's assistance. South Africa is home to approximately 4.2 million migrants drawn by the country’s robust economy from as far away as Ethiopia. The nation-wide lockdown produced huge socio-economic impacts and social protection needs in a country whose economy was contracting even before the virus was first reported. The migrant labour force which primarily operates in the informal sectors and depended on daily income to meet their needs, faced dire food security, shelter, health and protection challenges.  COVID-19 stranded at least 100,000 migrants in the region according to IOM's July report. Neighbouring Zimbabwe expected upwards of 20,000 returnees to arrive from Botswana, Zambia, South Africa, and Mozambique in addition to the 3,500 who managed to enter the country as of May 12, stretching the capacity of provide services in a country already home to more than 43,000 internally displaced people at that time. A transit country for migrants attempting to travel to South Africa, Zimbabwe also hosts large numbers of stranded migrants. One hundred undocumented Malawian nationals abandoned by smugglers voluntarily returned home by bus with IOM’s assistance in mid-May.  The Sahel Border closures have forced a halt to the seasonal movements of transhumant herders and their families, an estimated 20 million people in West and Central Africa.  IOM Photo/Geoffrey Reynard   A nearly 6,000 km-wide belt of land stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea, the Sahel encompasses more than a dozen countries. Here, mobility is a critical millennia-old livelihood and adaptation strategy that allows millions to survive and thrive in one of the world’s harshest environments. Government-mandated restrictions on movement, notably putting a halt to bustling cross-border trade and “non-essential” activities, has impacted households across the region.   Over 24,000 people including migrants hosted in transit centers and herders stranded at borders are currently waiting for their fates to be settled and for the borders to reopen.   To mitigate the disruption to its activities, including the provision of assistance to stranded migrants, IOM is mainstreaming COVID-19 related activities into existing projects and when possible, continuing its lifesaving search and rescue efforts and other critical operations.  Border officials were being trained and equipped at the Rosso river border post between Mauritania and Senegal before the lockdown. IOM Photo/Ciré Ly 2020  It is estimated that more than 1,500 migrants are stranded in Mauritania, primarily Malians and Senegalese, roughly one-quarter of all migrants stranded in West and Central Africa according to IOM's report on the global phenomena. Without any alternative perspective, they are worried about their future and that of their loved ones.   Key will be the timely and responsible reopening of the border crossings into Senegal, balancing the desire of people to return home and the impacts the closures have had on many communities who rely on cross-border trade, and the need to address significant public health concerns related to COVID-19.    IOM is providing training and medical and protective equipment to Mauritanian authorities to encourage the reopening of border posts, shuttered since 25 March.    IOM-supported humanitarian site in Niamey where more than 1,300 Nigeriens are completing their 14-day COVID-19 quarantine. IOM/Monica Chiriac Almost 3,000 migrants had asked IOM to assist with their voluntary return home prior to Niger closing its borders in mid-March.   While there have been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 among these migrants, frustrations are growing due to lengthy stays in overcrowded transit centres. Niger and some of its neighbours have already agreed to the creation of a humanitarian corridor to organize the safe, voluntary return of migrants, approvals are still pending from countries of origin guarding against the spread of the virus.   Some of the more than 1,300 Nigeriens who fled clashes in gold mining areas in the south of Burkina Faso. IOM Photo/Monica Chiriac  Over 1,300 Nigeriens to fled clashes in a gold mining region in the south of Burkina Faso in late April, hoping to make it to Ouagadougou, before continuing on to Niamey, the Nigerien capital. IOM has provided cash assistance for food, screened and registered the group, and is working with the national authorities to assist their voluntary return.   The closure of universities in Cameroon stranded more than 2,000 Chadian students for weeks. A bilateral agreement between the two governments allowed the students to return to Chad in early-May, where they were quarantined for two weeks. IOM has chartered buses to help them return to their home communities after negotiating travel special authorization for the groups across several administrative regions.  Georgia Dali, a recently returned migrant to Georgia, has adapted her IOM-supported business to sew facemasks for health workers. By mid-July, close to 60,000 migrants were stranded in South Eastern Europe, Eastern Europe and Central Asia. As well as providing physical support to migrants stranded in Georgia, IOM ramped up social media and virtual assistance. A live online consultation session organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs allowed IOM to talk directly to 50,000 migrants in the EU, Turkey, Israel, Russia, and more.   Over 500 questions were asked by stranded migrants during the session, focusing on how to get home, the implications of overstay in the EU, post-COVID-19 travel and employment opportunities back home.  “Migrants stranded abroad due to COVID-19, especially irregular labour migrants, are in need of constant access to updated information about return options, COVID-19-related restrictions and future migration perspectives”, noted Anna Kakushadze who ran IOM’s part of the consultation.  Russian Federation Migrants stranded by border closures at Novosibirsk Airport in the Russian Federation. As the COVID-19 pandemic started to take hold thousands of Kyrgyz labour migrants found themselves without jobs, salaries or a place to live.  When they decided to return home many became stranded in airports or on the borders of the Russian Federation, Turkey, Kazakhstan and UAE.  IOM’s offices teamed up to distribute masks, gloves, antiseptic, hot meals and provide a place to sleep in airports in Moscow and Novosibirsk.   A statement from IOM Kyrgyzstan noted that stranded migrants were vulnerable to COVID-19 “and also to exploitative practices. Data on past crises revealed that criminals, employers and others can use the opportunity to exploit migrants by cutting or withholding wages, threatening to report migrants to authorities, and exploiting them in other ways.”  Germany Photo: Imre Tömösvari/Unsplash   Mid mid-summer, IOM data revealed more than 202,000 migrants were stranded in Europe and unable to return due to COVID-19 mobility restrictions. In the wake of the 15 March closure of the border between Germany and Poland, all Polish citizens returning home were ordered into a compulsory 14-day home quarantine. That put thousands of cross-border workers and students in a difficult situation as they had to choose between their work and returning home. At the time, some border regions were offering a Euro 40-65 daily stipend to cover meals and hotel rooms to encourage Polish commuters to remain in Germany. Regulations were loosened to allow Poles who work or study in Germany to avoid quarantine upon their return. However, certain professional groups including doctors, nurses, pharmacists and geriatric nurses, were excluded from the regulation and were still being quarantined at that time. United Kingdom Oxford Circus. IOM Photo/Muse Mohammed The significant contributions migrants in the UK made in critical areas in the fight against COVID-19 are well documented.  However, the crisis exacerbated the situation for many others who’ve been made more vulnerable due to their status. Despite warnings from IOM and prestigious journals like The Lancet advocating for migrants to be included in national health and social services as a public health priority, an estimated one million undocumented migrants were at risk of not being able to access adequate health care, and cope with the impacts of the crisis.   Those who were employed were typically found in the sectors most affected by the crisis such as hospitality and retail, or to be self-employed with temporary work and precarious livelihoods.   Reduced services are negatively impacting on those applying for the EU settlement scheme, while few public funds are available for needy EU citizens who have lived in the UK for less than five years.  Chile There are roughly 3,000 migrants of different nationalities stranded in northern Chile, part of the more than 37,400 IOM reported in its July survey of stranded migrants globally. Among them were Bismar Núñez and Eleuteria Barja and their one-year old daughter Jazmín, who traveled roughly 1,800 kilometers by bus from Chile’s capital Santiago, to Iquique 300kms from the Bolivian border.  Like hundreds of their countrymen, the couple wanted to return home.  Before being taken to shelters provided by the Government of Chile, they spent their nights on the streets or in informal settlements, battling frigid conditions 3,700 meters above sea level while waiting for the chance to cross the border.   In an effort to manage the public health challenge presented by COVID-19 both the governments of Bolivia and Chile agreed that the groups will be quarantined prior to crossing.  In coordination with the government and civil society partners, IOM Chile has been providing stranded migrants in the informal settlements with emergency assistance, including temporary accommodation for the most vulnerable, food and non-food items like tents and blankets.  Panama IOM has documented approximately 7,700 cases of stranded migrants in Central America and the Caribbean.  Among them are more than 2,500 people stranded in Panama after arriving from Colombia through the Darien Gap. They remain in three overcrowded stations managed by the Panamanian National Border Service in one community in the Darien province. The migrants are usually kept in these facilities for brief periods and taken to the Costa Rica border as part of a “Controlled Flow” agreement between the two countries which allows for the safe passage of 100 irregular migrants daily from Panama to its western neighbour. That agreement is currently suspended, stranding migrants in Panama for over two months. Most of the migrants come from Haiti, but there are small groups from Cuba, and from as far away as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Yemen and Bangladesh.   The Government of Panama, with support from IOM and other organizations, is constructing new accommodation centres to provide security for migrants stranded on its territory.  Mexico Migrants in Mexico queuing to buy food at a shelter while awaiting their assisted voluntary return home. In late April, the Mexican government releasing people from its migrant detention centers based on recommendations from the United Nations, including a group of 74 Salvadoran migrants from the Acayucan Migratory Station in Veracruz state. Local authorities in Oluta city were uncomfortable with the move as the migrants were taken into the shelter late at night, without previous notice. Final predeparture screening at the airport. IOM stepped into a familiar role, working with both the Mexican and Salvadorian governments to organize an Assisted Voluntary Return (AVR) effort to get them home safely and in a dignified manner, while ensuring public health concerns are suitably addressed.

Multimeter fuses are a critical component for the safe and efficient running of all types of multimeters. They function as a replacement part when the existing fuse blows and protects the multimeter in the event of current overload. Multimeters are electronic testing devices that can measure voltage, current and resistance in a wide array of small-scale domestic appliances, or large-scale industrial machines. How do multimeter fuses work? Multimeters are handy tools to have for home renovations. They're portable, easy to use and let you carry out tests on plug sockets and lighting systems, for example. Both analogue and digital multimeters use multimeter fuses. The fuses contain a thin strand of wire with a low melting point. If the current running through the multimeter is too great, the fuse will melt, breaking the circuit. It's a basic method of circuit protection but a very effective safeguarding device found in all electrical systems. Choosing the right multimeter fuses Your choice of multimeter fuses will depend on the make, model and type of multimeter you're using. Various amperages and voltages ratings are available, and replacement fuses can be bought individually or in multipacks. It is always best to follow the manufacturers' advice as to which fuse is the most suitable replacement for the existing one.

Zoonosis refers to diseases that can be transmitted to humans from animals. In particular, they occur when an infected animal passes on bacteria, parasites, fungi or viruses to humans through scratches, saliva, feces and urine. Vectors (e.g., organisms like fleas and ticks) can also carry zoonotic diseases from the host to those they come into contact with. Common Zoonotic Diseases Zoonotic diseases can be broken into multiple categories: bacterial infections, parasitic infections, protozoal infections, fungal infections and viral infections. Bacterial Bartonellosis, also known as cat-scratch disease, occurs when a person is scratched or bitten by an infected cat. Fleas and ticks may also aid in transmission. Of all bacterial infections that can be passed from feline to human, this is considered the most common, affecting roughly 25,000 people per year in the United States alone. Those infected typically have swollen and inflamed lymph nodes, particularly around the neck, head and upper extremities. Other symptoms include: Headache Loss of appetite Lethargy Fever Achy muscles and joints Healthy individuals who contract bartonellosis tend to recover and have no long-term effects; however, the disease may take several months to disappear completely. People with immune deficiencies are at greater risk of suffering more severe consequences, however. In some cases, death has resulted. Another bacterial disease that can be transmitted is salmonellosis. Though often caught by eating contaminated food, cats that eat raw meat or wild birds can carry and pass the bacteria in their feces, causing fever, diarrhea and stomach pains in humans within one to three days. This particular bacterial disease tends to resolve on its own, but, in the event of severe dehydration or in the event that the infection reaches the organs, medical attention will be necessary. Parasitic While fleas and ticks are external parasites that can cause inflammation and itching when they bite humans and can also act as vectors for bartonellosis and other zoonotic diseases, the focus of this section will look at feline intestinal parasites, such as roundworms and hookworms, which are transmitted to people through fecal exposure and have the potential to cause diseases of the eyes and other organs. In most cases, intestinal parasites are contracted when litter boxes are handled and the person places their hands in their mouth or on their face without having washed or thoroughly washed them first. Exposure can lead to a host of symptoms that include: Shortness of breath Lethargy Bloody stool (which may or may not contain the worm) Diarrhea Nausea Vomiting (which may or may not contain the worm) Weight loss Stomach pain Cough Itchy rash Wheezing Lack of appetite Protozoal Protozoans are single-celled organisms that have animal-like characteristics, such as being predatory and motile. There are three common protozoal diseases that can be transferred from cat to human: giardiasis, toxoplasmosis and cryptosporidiosis. The protozoans come into contact with cats—and are later transmitted to humans—when a cat consumes an infected bird or rodent. Contamination can also occur if a cat eats feces expelled from an infected cat. In all cases, the infected cat expels the parasite in its feces for up to two weeks, at which point, the parasite takes one to five days to mature before being able to cause infection. Handling an infected cat’s litter box without thoroughly cleansing one’s hands can be the catalyst for protozoal infections, as can improperly washing fruits and vegetables that have been grown in an environment (soil) where infected cats, birds and rodents drop their feces. The main symptom associated with protozoal infections is diarrhea; however, medical attention may be required for people with immunodeficiencies, as they may develop severe illness. Fungal Fungal infections, such as ringworm, often develop in cats when they live in environments with a large number of animals. Though the name ringworm would lead one to believe the infection is caused by a worm, that is not the case; it is actually a skin infection brought on by a group of fungi. When a human pets an infected cat’s skin or fur, or if fungal spores are dropped through the shedding of the cat’s skin cells or fur, the infection can be passed along. In cats, ringworm comes in the form of a gray, dry, scaly patch of skin. In humans, it often presents as a red, round, itchy lesion with a ring of scale surrounding the perimeter. Viral Many viruses can only be passed from species to species, such as human to human or cat to cat. However, rabies is a viral disease that can cross species and, when it comes to human-cat interaction, it results when a human is bitten by an infected cat. Cats are very vulnerable to this disease. Symptoms vary, but often affect the central nervous system. While rabies is almost always fatal for cats, the same is not true for humans. Still, symptoms in humans can range from mild to severe, and include: Headache Nausea and/or vomiting Fever Incoherency Hallucination Insomnia Paralysis (partial) Salivation Hyperactivity Trouble swallowing Preventing Zoonotic Diseases Those with compromised immune systems (i.e. young children, pregnant women and the elderly) are more susceptible to zoonotic diseases, but healthy people can be affected too. While zoonotic diseases are rare—humans are more likely to catch diseases from other humans than from their cat—there are precautions you can take to lessen your risk, including: Carefully handling litter boxes, preferably with gloves Treating cats that have fleas and ticks with proper medications and treatment protocols Washing your hands frequently and thoroughly Ensuring your cat is vaccinated Cleaning food and water bowls often Keeping your cat indoors If you have any questions about zoonotic diseases or think your cat may be suffering from one, call our office today.

The main environmental benefits of implementing the EV charging stations in India are: The effective implementation of the EV charging systems is the best way of having a proper commitment to clean air without any kind of problem. Air pollution is very much harmful to the health of humans which is the main reason that this is considered to be the most important decision towards having a cleaner and safer environment. Whenever the electric vehicle charging systems will be perfectly implemented it will help in bringing significant improvement in the air quality. Implementation of all these kinds of systems is very much capable of ensuring cost-effectiveness at the time of driving for the community. Electric vehicles are considered to be cheaper in terms of maintenance as well as fuelling in comparison to traditional cars and the best part is that it will help in bringing several kinds of savings for the concerned users. Hence, this is considered to be one of the most important motivating points in the implementation of electrical charging stations in the whole area. This is considered to be the best possible way of paving the path towards cleaner transportation systems so that there is no problem, and this is the best possible promise of reduced emissions, congestion and number of accidents. The smart electric vehicle charging stations are the beginning of a very major change in the whole industry. The comprehensive concept of electric vehicle charging stations is the best possible way of supporting environmental justice because it will help in making sure that people will never get into any kind of issues of safety, traffic ingestion, payment damage and several other kinds of related things.

‘Angel’ father seeks to end California’s sanctuary laws with grassroots ballot drive. Here's the full story. ‘Angel’ father seeks to end California’s sanctuary laws with grassroots ballot drive. Here's the full story. Powered by News ‘Angel’ father seeks to end California’s sanctuary laws with grassroots ballot drive. Here’s the full story. July 9, 2018 | BPR Wire | Print Article Facebook Twitter Reddit LinkedIn Gab Powered by Will Racke, DCNF Retired publishing executive Don Rosenberg has been working to draw attention to the issues of crime and illegal immigration long before President Donald Trump made them a central theme of his presidential bid. Image: Don Rosenberg, Screenshot Rosenberg’s son, Drew, was killed in a 2010 collision in San Francisco with a Honduran national who had entered the country illegally, but had been granted temporary protected status. After his son’s death, Rosenberg began researching the problem of unlicensed drivers on California streets and then, more broadly, issues connected to the state’s huge illegal immigrant population. With Trump’s election, Rosenberg and the group he co-founded in 2017 — Advocates for Victims of Illegal Alien Crimes — found an ally in Washington who spoke in blunt terms about getting tougher on illegal immigration. He was one of 14 “angel” parents invited to the White House in June as part of an event highlighting the administration’s tough approach to immigration enforcement. Rosenberg, a self-described lifelong Democrat, is now turning his attention to his home state of California, which over the past year has enacted a series of laws to shield illegal immigrants from the federal crackdown. Under the auspices of the grassroots group Fight Sanctuary State, Rosenberg has filed a petition to put the “Children, Family, and Community Protection Act” on the California ballot in 2020. The ballot initiative seeks to end California’s status as a sanctuary state by overturning SB54, a law that limits the extent to which state officials can cooperate with federal immigration authorities, and AB450, which prevents private businesses from allowing immigration agents on to their property without a judicial warrant. It would also mandate that law enforcement officers check the immigration status of people they arrest and require driver’s license applicants to prove they are legally present in the U.S. Rosenberg spoke with The Daily Caller News Foundation about his group’s ballot initiative, California’s sanctuary laws, and his criticism of the way media covers crime committed by illegal immigrants. This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity. Where are you in the process of getting the ballot initiative approved? It was filed back in April. We received what’s called title and summary about a week and a half ago, which now allows us to now start collecting signatures. Now we have the information we need to be able to print the petition. I’m not particularly happy with the way they titled and summarized it. But we certainly expect it considering it’s the attorney general [Democrat Xavier Becerra] of the state that gets to do that. What happens now is that you have to print these things, which is massive, considering the nature of the state. And then volunteers and paid signature gatherers have 180 days to get the signatures. You have to turn everything in and wait for the counties to validate the signatures. In our case, assuming we get the signatures and they validate it, it would be on the 2020 ballot. Or, if there’s a special election in 2019, it would be on that ballot. How many signatures do you need to make it on to the ballot? In our case, we need about 400,000, but that means you need to collect about 600,000. You have to get significantly more to make sure the signatures that are not validated are covered. Who is helping you and Fight Sanctuary State put this together and actually obtain the signatures? There’s some staff people that do this. I don’t give out names, because especially in this environment, some of the people have gotten hate mail. The people that are working on this that do not legally need to be recognized, I’d rather keep it to themselves. There are some professionals that are doing this. We’ll end up hiring a company to help get signatures, plus we’ll be using various advocacy groups all over the state that will also be out trying to gather signatures on a voluntary basis. It’s a grassroots effort, but it’s also a professional effort. Ironically, the whole idea of the voter initiative was supposed to be all grassroots, but’s it’s been taken over by corporations. And the numbers have gotten so large. In our case, the number of signatures you need is based on the number of people who voted in the 2014 election. It’s a huge project. What’s been the response to your ballot drive? There’s clearly way more people who agree with us than the number of signatures we need — probably by a factor of 20 or 30. Massive numbers of people in the millions and millions support what we’re doing. But they have to be registered voters and you have to get them to sign the thing. I’m not concerned on the level of “Are there enough people who will sign it?” I’m not concerned about that one bit. Like so many things in the public sphere, a lot of people don’t even know that [SB54] happened. There was not a lot of publicity when it was being debated. I can tell you that over the last five or six months, when I talk to groups of people, even Democrats, they are flabbergasted that the state would do something like this. Why do you think SB54 is a bad law? Really, its main purpose is to protect criminals. Not people who have come here illegally, but people who have come here illegally and then committed additional crimes. When people read it, they’re aghast. Why would you do that? Why would you protect somebody who’s committed a crime and shouldn’t have been here to begin with? The one thing about California is that its legislators are much further to the left — I would say “out there” is a better term — than the voters in general. I’ve been a Democrat my whole life — it was only two years ago that I said “no more.” The Democrats control the state. They have total power over passing every bill, and I think each guy is trying to out-crazy the next. They get away with it because there’s no real opposition [in Sacramento]. So things have gotten absolutely nuts. What do you think of the media’s coverage of groups like yours versus its coverage of the Trump administration’s immigration policies? Illegal immigration is the elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about except when something bad happens to them. If it’s bad and it happens to somebody else, you’re a racist and bigot and a white supremacist if you bring it up. Yet, the media, in the example of the family separation policy, was covering this thing 24/7. The L.A. Times should’ve changed its name to the Separation Gazette. Almost every story had to do with these separations — they were running the same story every day where they just changed the name. Today, it’s Jose who is six years old and afraid, tomorrow it will be Maria who is six years old and afraid. But in our case, we were accused of being paid by Trump to come [to the White House]. We were accused that none of our loved ones were killed. There were 14 of us there, and 11 [of us] had a child who had been killed before Trump even announced he was running for office. I’ve been doing this since 2011. Don’t tell me about Donald Trump. Nobody became active because of Donald Trump. Follow Will on Twitter Send tips to [email protected].

Bristol Rovers are back in League One action tomorrow as they travel to Spotland to face Rochdale, and the Gas will hope to swiftly bounce back from Tuesday's 3-1 defeat to Hull City. Ahead of the game Ben Garner will speak to the press to update Gasheads on the fitness of his squad and discuss the latest talking points. The press conference is due to begin shortly after 9am, so stay tuned for live updates from the Zoom call with the manager. Scroll down for updates Key Events Ben Garner keen for people with 'different expertise' to play role in training 15:06 Injury report 11:15 Garner on threat of Matty Lund 09:33 First question: Have you got the response you were hoping for and looking for from your players? 09:22 15:06 KEY EVENT Ben Garner keen for people with 'different expertise' to play role in training Ben Garner says he is keen to get people with "different expertise" to help him on the Bristol Rovers training ground, but the COVID-19 situation has made it impossible. The Rovers boss called on old friend Steve Coppell to cast an eye over training and games before lockdown, and he insists he is keen to get more people from a wide variety of backgrounds involved. Gashead Nik Weeks, for example, was invited to pre-season training in the summer after running 150 miles in five days for charity. Garner was keen to reward the harbourside police sergeant for his efforts, but also for Weeks to discuss the resilience he needed for his mammoth challenge with the players. Read the full story here Ben Garner gives instructions at the Almondsbury Training Centre. (Image: JMP) 11:15 KEY EVENT Injury report Ben Garner has given a comprehensive update on the injuries in his camp. Read the full injury report here Jonah Ayunga of Bristol Rovers takes on Tom Anderson of Doncaster Rovers. (Image: Robbie Stephenson/JMP) 09:55 Sam Frost Stay tuned That wraps up the first part of the press conference with BBC Radio Bristol. Our questions followed. We'll have the latest injury report coming up shortly. 09:54 Sam Frost 'How are the squad looking ahead of tomorrow’s trip to Rochdale?' Very good. We’ve got one fitness test this morning, and we’re just waiting to see on one player. Other than that we’re where we were on Tuesday, plus we’ve had Jayden Mitchell-Lawson back in the squad. We’re all good on that front, we’ve just got one to check up on this morning and then we’ll decide on the team from there. 09:51 Sam Frost How much difference will the new training ground make now? It will have a good impact. It’s a great training surface for us and a really good environment, and it’s only going to improve. Over the next few months we’re going to make further improvements and add more to the training ground. It’s been fantastic that we can get there, and as I said last week it has an impact now for us, but I also think it’s a milestone for this football club. It’s leaving a legacy for 20/30/40 years of the club having its own base and home, and it’s one that can be developed and grown. 09:42 Sam Frost Do you look at the table at this stage of the season? Rochdale and Rovers are there together, separated by goal difference. Do you pay attention to those kind of things? Not in terms of who we’re playing against, we focus on what we see in their games and how we analyse that. We want to get as high up that table as we can. We had a good run going into Hull and 60 minutes into the game everything was great. Like I said after the game, I don’t think there was a great deal in the game against Hull – one of the bigger clubs and certainly a very strong in this league. I think there’s positives to take from that, and the fact we went toe-to-toe with them and more than held our own is a positive and we’ll look to take those positives and brush up on one or two areas going to Rochdale. 09:37 Sam Frost You talk about how they’re in good form. How much attention do you really pay to your opponents? It’s a mix to be honest. As a balance I would say it’s probably 80 per cent on what we do and 20 per cent regarding the opposition. We need to understand how they play and how to nullify that. We also need to identify areas where we can hurt them. We have a large focus on what we do, how we prepare and how we play, regardless of who we’re playing, but it’s also important we go into great detail on the opposition and know everything about them going into the game. 09:33 KEY EVENT Garner on threat of Matty Lund Yeah he’s having a really good spell for them. He’s a big threat arriving in the box, especially from crosses. We’re well aware of that and we’ll do our utmost to make sure he doesn’t have an impact on the game tomorrow. 09:27 Sam Frost What sort of game are you expecting at Rochdale? A difficult one. They’re in a really good period of form with seven points from nine, two good away wins and a really good point at home against Sunderland. They’re in good form, they’re a good team, they’re well organised. They’ve got good threats within their team as well and they’re very hard-working. We know it’s a tough test and it’s certainly not one that we’ll underestimate. 09:25 Sam Frost Does the result make it more likely that there could be changes tomorrow? No, it’s the performance we look at and we pick the team that’s right for each game. Sometimes you can play well and lose and other times you can play poorly and win. It’s not dictated purely by the result, we look at the performance and the opposition that we’re playing against. That’s the case again tomorrow. 09:22 KEY EVENT First question: Have you got the response you were hoping for and looking for from your players? Yeah, without doubt. Immediately after the game I got the response we all wanted, and training yesterday – in terms of the meeting review and how we trained – was very good. We’re focused 100 per cent on Rochdale now and we’re looking to bounce back quickly. 08:47 Sam Frost Nigel Martyn relives Rovers memories Former Gas goalkeeper Nigel Martyn has spoken about his time with the club, and the fantastic career that followed, on the latest edition of the Retro Rovers Podcast. Give it a listen. 08:45 Sam Frost Good morning Thanks for joining us, Gasheads. We'll have live updates from Ben Garner's press conference shortly. Here's something to watch/read in the meantime.

William Noble Chaiden Miller is one of two students charged in the death of Nohema Graber, who was reported missing several hours before her body was discovered in an Iowa park. Miller and Jeremy Everett Goodale have both been charged with murder in the first degree, the documents said. They will be charged as adults, the Jefferson County Attorney's Office said in a statement on Thursday. Graber's body was found under a tarp, wheelbarrow and railroad ties in Chautauqua Park in Fairfield, Iowa, on Tuesday, according to court documents. She appeared to have "suffered inflicted trauma to the head." In an interview, Miller told authorities he had been in the park at the time of the murder, provided "materials utilized in committing the murder," and helped conceal the crime, the documents said. He did not say he killed Graber. Nohema Graber Fairfield High School Investigators also said an associate of Miller and Goodale provided them with social media messages in which Miller and Goodale wrote about specific details of Graber's disappearance and death. "The details included, but were not limited to, the motive for killing Graber, the planning and execution of the means to kill Graber, as well as deliberate attempts to conceal the crime," court documents said. The documents did not provide a possible motive. Authorities said they then searched Goodale and Miller's houses and found clothes that appeared to have blood on them. A witness also told authorities they saw both Goodale and Miller in Chautauqua Park on Tuesday afternoon, according to court documents. Graber, 66, had been a Spanish teacher at Fairfield High School since 2012, according to the school's website. Miller and Goodale were students there. In a statement released to families and staff earlier in the week, superintendent Dr. Laurie Noll said the school would be closed on Friday and counseling would be available. "At this time our students and staff's well-being is our top priority. As a community, we will stand together as we navigate any new developments. We also greatly appreciate your cooperation and assistance," Noll said in the statement. Graber's family released a statement on Friday about her death. "To know Nohema was to love her — she was the kind of person every community longs to have in its midst and we were blessed to have her in our lives," the family said. "She lived for her children, her family and her faith. Her next priorities were her job as an educator and the children she taught, her local Parish, and the Spanish-speaking community in Fairfield. The family deeply appreciates the outpouring of support during this unimaginable tragedy." Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds also released a statement "extending her deepest sympathies" to those mourning. "My heart goes out to the family, friends, colleagues, and students that are dealing with this tragic murder of Nohema Graber," she said. "Ms. Graber touched countless children's lives through her work as an educator across our state by sharing her passion of foreign language. I am confident through the work of our dedicated law enforcement that justice will prevail." Miller and Goodale will be making their court appearance on November 12. Both are being held on $1 million cash bonds.

I have been steadily paying down debt, and the end is within sight. I’m due a sum of money for the sale of some real estate and wonder if I should pay off the remaining debt or save it. Seems like a good time to be debt-free. What would you do? Almost Debt-Free Dear Almost Debt-Free, I can think of only a few reasons why you would not go ahead and become debt-free if you are able. Of course, I don’t have your full financial picture, so I will try to give you a few things to consider as you come to your own conclusion. Shifting Sands There is a lot of uncertainty in the world right now. Covid-19 has created stress in many areas of our lives. A Pew Research Center survey reports that half of the non-retired adults say the economic impact of Covid-19 will make it harder to achieve their long-term goals. There are medical and financial pressures along with rising mental health issues. Add to that inflation, the instability in Afghanistan, forest fires, flooding, the possibility of a stock market, and real estate bubble… Need I go on? A major benefit to being debt-free is that you will be in a much stronger position to weather the economic storms we may face. If your overall picture is good, then pay off all the debt. But, there is more to consider first. A Safety Net It is great to be debt-free, but uncertain times also require that you have savings available for emergencies. You want to avoid ending up in the same position six months from now. Therefore, I suggest you give a portion, fund an emergency account, and then apply the rest to debt. Have you ever done the limbo? The object is to get under a bar without touching it. Budgeting is very similar. Your income represents the bar. Your spending must fall below the bar every month, or you lose. In limbo, you must take carefully-measured steps to keep as far away from the bar as you can. The gap between your body and the bar is what I call “financial margin,” which we all need. This is the space that grants peace and financial protection in the unexpected storms of life. It is possible to increase your monthly margin quickly by adjusting your lifestyle. Consider the benefits of choosing to live on far less than you make. Manage the common budget busters—food, entertainment, and transportation—to further reduce expenses. Other Tips Paying down the highest interest-bearing note first will save you money in the long run. Paying down multiple small notes can provide a psychological advantage. Repay any late mortgage or rent, utilities, HOA fees, taxes, and car payments so there is no threat of losing your home or car. Do you owe family members any money? Do not ignore this responsibility. Be honest, and treat them as you would want to be treated so that relationships are not harmed. Be Intentional Even if you do pay off all your debt, it is important to manage your finances well as you go forward. Just because you become debt-free does not guarantee that you will stay that way unless you manage what you have well. Here are my three tips: Plan ahead: Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established. (Proverbs 16:3 ESV) Budget wisely. This will keep you from creating more debt and will allow you to build an emergency savings fund. If needed, a crisis budget can get you to a position of financial strength. Here are instructions, an online fillable form, and a spending plan. Seek counsel: Without counsel, plans fail, but with many advisers, they succeed. (Proverbs 15:22 ESV) Please consider my advice as only one source of those you will turn to for help. Make wise decisions: If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. (James 1:5 ESV) God is the source of all wisdom. When we learn His Word and commit to live by it, everything in our lives will begin to take on new excitement and joy. Using money to fulfill God’s purposes for your life will be the best financial decision you can make. Thank you for the question. I don’t think you can go wrong if you pay off the debt and commit to following the steps above. For more guidance, especially if your debt is related to credit cards, please consider contacting Christian Credit Counselors. They are a trusted source of help. Read More Retirement & 401k, Saving 6 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Wait Until You Make More to Save More By: Art Rainer “I don’t make enough money to save for retirement.” This is a common reason people provide, especially those just starting out in their careers, for not saving. Their plan is to start saving when they feel like they are making enough money. Unfortunately, this mindset often leads to a stressful financial future. And it could have been avoided. Here are six reasons why you shouldn’t wait until you make more to save more: 1. The Bible teaches us that saving is wise. Proverbs 6:6-8 says this—Go to the ant, you slacker! Observe its ways and become wise. Without a leader, administrator, or ruler, it prepares its provisions in summer; it gathers its food during harvest. Throughout Scripture, we are taught that we should capitalize on times of abundance to get us through times of scarcity. For retirement, this means taking advantage of a paycheck to get you through a time when you no longer receive income from an employer. 2. Habit-building starts now. Habitually setting aside money for the future does not magically begin when you have more income. The best way to ensure you will actually take advantage of a higher salary is to regularly save now, regardless of your paycheck’s size. 3. Great income is often followed by greater expenses. When people get a raise, savings is not normally the first to increase. Expenses do. We make more so we spend more. The financial margin remains thin, even with a greater income. 4. For some, “enough” never happens. Sometimes, this happens because their career never takes off as they hope. Other times, even though their income has increased, they don’t feel like they make enough. 5. Compounding. It is said that a reporter once asked Albert Einstein what he considered to be the greatest invention of all time. His response? “Compound interest.” Compounding is earning money on your earned money. And the best way to take advantage of compounding is to start early. Remember this formula: A little bit of money + A lot of time = A lot of money. 6. The mantra, “It’s never too late to start all over again,” won’t be as comforting as you think in the future. Certainly, you can start habitually saving at any point. But you can never truly recapture lost time. Every month you delay saving is a month you never get back. It is a month that you are never able to take advantage of compounding. When you delay your retirement savings, you make your climb to retirement steeper. Don’t wait until you make more money to save more money. Start now. Make it your goal to place 15% of your gross income into retirement savings. Whether you make much or little, now is the time to save for retirement. Read More Finance, Goals, Money Management, Saving Rebuilding toward a Brighter Future with Emergency Savings By: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) This year, for many Americans who experienced financial challenges as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, preparedness means taking small steps toward rebuilding and resilience. If you are ready to think about your bigger financial picture for the first time in months, what’s the first step? Consider – or start – your emergency saving fund. As you build it over time, it will help cover unexpected expenses that may come, whether that be a natural disaster, unexpected illness, car trouble, or other financial downfalls. It can become an important means for avoiding unwanted debt and help you more quickly realize your dreams. In short, it can become a strong foundation for your financial future. There are different strategies to get your savings started. These strategies cover a range of situations, including if you have a limited ability to save or if your pay tends to fluctuate. It may be that you could use all of these strategies, but if you have a limited ability to save, managing your cash flow or putting away a portion of your tax refund are the easiest ways to get started. Strategy #1: Create a savings habit Building savings of any size is easier when you’re able to consistently put money away. It’s one of the fastest ways to see it grow. If you’re not in a regular practice of saving, there are a few key principles to creating and sticking to a savings habit: Set a goal. Having a specific goal for your savings can help you stay motivated. Establishing your emergency fund may be that achievable goal that helps you stay on track, especially when you’re initially getting started. Use our savings planning tool to calculate how long it’ll take you to reach your goal, based on how much and how often you’re able to put money away. Create a system for making consistent contributions. There are a number of different ways to save, and as you’ll read below, setting up automatic recurring transfers is often one of the easiest. It may also be that you put a specific amount of cash aside each day, week, or payday period. Aim to make it a specific amount, and if you can occasionally afford to do more, you’ll watch your savings grow even faster. Regularly monitor your progress. Find a way to regularly check your savings. Whether it’s an automatic notification of your account balance or writing down a running total of your contributions, finding a way to watch your progress can offer gratification and encouragement to keep going. Celebrate your successes. If you’re sticking with your savings habit, don’t miss the opportunity to recognize what you’ve accomplished. Find a few ways that you can treat yourself, and if you’ve reached your goal, set your next one. Who is this helpful for: Anyone, but particularly those with consistent income. If you know you have a regular paycheck or money consistently coming in, you can create a habit to put some of that money towards an emergency savings fund. Strategy #2: Manage your cash flow Your cash flow is essentially the timing of when your money is coming in (your income) and going out (your expenses and spending). If the timing is off, you can find yourself running short at the end of the week or month, but if you’re actively tracking it, you’ll start to see opportunities to adjust your spending and savings. For example, you may be able to work with your creditors (like your landlord, utility companies, or credit card companies) to adjust the due dates for your bills, or you can use the weeks when you have more money available to move a little extra into savings. Who is this helpful for: Anyone. This is one important first step in managing your money, regardless of whether you’re living paycheck to paycheck or have a tendency to spend more than your budget allows. Strategy #3: Take advantage of one-time opportunities to save There may also be certain times during the year when you get an influx of money. For many Americans, a tax refund can be one of the largest checks they receive all year. There may be other times of the year, like a holiday or birthday, that you receive a cash gift. While it’s tempting to spend it, saving all or a portion of that money could help you quickly set up your emergency fund. Who is this helpful for: Anyone but particularly those with irregular income. If you receive a large check from a tax refund or for some other reason, it’s always good to consider putting all or a portion of it away into savings. Strategy #4: Make your saving automatic Saving automatically is one of the easiest ways to make your savings consistent so you start to see it build over time. One common way to do this is to set up recurring transfers through your bank or credit union so money is moved automatically from your checking account to your savings account. You get to decide how much and how often, but once you have it set up, you’ll be making consistent contributions to your savings. It’s a good idea to be mindful of your balances, however, so you don’t incur overdraft fees if there’s not enough money in your checking account at the time of the automatic transaction. To help you stay mindful, consider setting up automatic notifications or calendar reminders to check your balance. Who is this helpful for: Anyone, but particularly those with consistent income. Again, you can determine how much and how often to have money transferred between accounts, but you want to make sure you have money coming in. If your situation changes or your income changes, you can always adjust it. Strategy #5: Save through work Another way to save automatically is through your employer. In addition to employer-based contributions for retirement, you may have an option to split your paycheck between your checking and savings accounts. If you receive your paycheck through direct deposit, check with your employer to see if it’s possible to divide it between two accounts. If you’re tempted to spend your paycheck when you get it, this is an easy way to put money aside without having to think twice. Who is this helpful for: Those with consistent income. Again, if you’re getting a check from your employer on a regular basis, pay yourself first by putting a portion of it automatically into savings. It might seem impossible to save enough to get you and your family through something like a furlough, job loss, or reduced hours. But any amount can make a difference and it’s never too late to start. The more you can save, the better you can weather the worst, and the faster you can recover when it is over. Read More Budgeting, Economy, Finance, Money Management, National Debt, Saving Ask Chuck: Practical Advice During the COVID-19 Crisis By: Crown Financial Ministries Dear Chuck, Many of the young people in my Bible Study are frightened of the Coronavirus and the threat to their families. I understand their fear. But, as an older American, I’m also concerned about their economic well-being in the aftermath of this crisis. What kind of financial advice can I offer them? Sheltered in The Storm Dear Sheltered in the Storm, We have two crises happening now and you have properly identified the third one. First, the virus has created a very real health crisis. Second, the shutdown of the economy has created a very present economic crisis and third, the government bailout will put us at risk of a future debt crisis and threat to the global economy. As Thomas Sowell said about our current challenges, “We do not have good choices, we simply have trade-offs.” Living on the Edge The Coronavirus has revealed the financial unpreparedness of millions of citizens. Aaron Zitner, at the Wall Street Journal, reports: “Some 15% of Americans have used, or plan to use, either short-term loans or credit cards that they don’t know they can repay in order to buy emergency goods to deal with the outbreak, a survey by NORC at the University of Chicago found.” He says others rely on savings or plan to divert money set aside for other things. It is my hope that many Americans have been better prepared for this event after making financial adjustments following the Great Recession, which started in 2008, by paying off debt, increasing savings, and living within their means. Either way, here are some practical and spiritual insights for the young people in your Bible study. Establish Essentials as Priority Everyone’s situation is different. Let’s help the young people understand how to deal with the current economic crisis, and we will deal with the long-term consequences of the bailout later. Here’s how I would attempt to help those in your Bible study when meeting one-on-one. Regardless of what’s happening in the world, everyone needs food and shelter. Pay the bills that provide food, home, and necessary utilities. This is a time to sacrifice wants to provide for needs. Most middle-income families will receive some sort of government assistance money. Establish or grow your emergency savings account. Always keep it resupplied as you are able. With job cuts right now, childcare and transportation costs may drop significantly. If possible, save that money in an emergency fund for future needs. Even a small amount in a savings account will reduce financial stress and grant margin in your life. Exercising self-control (a fruit of the Spirit) will boost your confidence and grant hope. Face your bills with courage and hope. Pray over them and ask God to work in miraculous ways knowing He is able to do far more than you can imagine. Avoid fear and anxiety with this verse: “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.” (Romans 12:12 ESV) Practical Steps Limit social media to avoid online shopping. Don’t give in to your (or your children’s) wants right now. Lead by example in love. Student loans: this may be the time to refinance. Debt: negotiate with lenders to reduce your interest rate or balance. Seek to eliminate penalties. Demonstrate your intent to pay. Avoid maxing out credit cards. Consider balance transfers but read all the fine print. Set a goal to eliminate the debt and the method to get there (I recommend the snowball or avalanche methods). Contact Christian Credit Counselors if you are falling behind. Insurance: assess coverage and negotiate the cost. Some coverages may not be a necessity or deductibles may need to be raised to lower premium costs. Make a will. Don’t procrastinate. Save: deposit something weekly, or every other week, to develop the habit. Get a fireproof, waterproof safe to keep some cash at home at all times. I recommend one month of living expenses. Wisely use your government check if you have an emergency savings account: give a portion, pay current bills, and pay down debt. Income tax filing has been postponed until July 15th. If you owe money, set that money aside in a separate account. Ask for help. Trade skills: haircuts for food, tutoring for computer help, etc. Sell what you don’t need. Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist make it easy. Do it safely by meeting buyers in a grocery or government parking lot during daylight hours. Look for opportunities. This may be the best time to start a business or take on greater responsibility at your current place of employment. Learn new skills. Take advantage of online classes. Educate yourself by reading, listening to books, watching Ted Talks, and documentaries. Be generous. There are many suffering at this time. Be exceptionally generous while also being wise and discerning. Hope for Troubling Times Those who are frightened, worried, angry, or frustrated must remember they are not alone. God has not left us on our own. In fact, idols are being revealed and priorities analyzed. It’s time to reorient our lives. We all know we should live one day at a time. That requires taking one step at a time. But, what if fear overwhelms you and you don’t know what steps to take? Imagine a sailboat drifting in the center of a large lake with no apparent destination in sight. It rocks back and forth, back and forth, unable to move forward. Suddenly, the wind begins to blow. The sails of the boat filled with air. The sailor takes action and strategically directs the boat to the desired destination. The boat glides effortlessly while the sailor works with the wind to safely arrive to shore. The Holy Spirit is the wind. He fills our sails enabling us to know when and how to move forward. Filled with hope, we develop perspective and work toward our destination. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” (Romans 15:13 ESV) Not Our First Rodeo Like you, I have lived long enough to have experienced a number of crises in my life. As my friend said, “this is not my first rodeo, but this is the first time I have ever ridden this horse!” We are living through something the world has never experienced. It’s an opportunity to trust God with all our heart. May He fill you and me with all hope so we can proclaim His goodness. “…we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” (Romans 5:3-5 ESV) For anyone struggling with credit card debt, get in touch with our partners at Christian Credit Counselors.

Read More Identity Theft, Saving, Taxes How to Use Your Tax Refund to Build Your Emergency Funds By: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) During tax season, there’s a lot to think about. Do you have the right forms? Where did you put those receipts? Did you do the math right? But there’s one more thing you should be thinking about: how you can use your tax refund to ramp up your emergency funds or reach other savings goals. In 2019, around 72% of Americans received a refund on their taxes. This extra jolt of cash can be a perfect opportunity to start—or increase—your emergency savings funds. Why save your tax refund Your tax refund may be one of the biggest checks you receive all year. If you’re getting a tax refund, consider saving some or all of it. Putting your refund into savings can help you prepare for unforeseen expenses throughout the year, and work toward longer term savings goals such as buying a house or paying for college. For many people, making ends meet throughout the year is tough, and saving regularly may seem unrealistic. The money you get in your tax refund could help you build or replenish your rainy day fund. Setting aside money for emergencies may help you cover some of the most common unexpected expenses people experience. Without savings, a financial emergency–even minor–could have a lasting impact on your financial well-being. How to save money fast Here are four things to do to save your refund as quickly and securely as possible. 1. Plan ahead It’s likely that you already have plans for what to do with your refund—many people do.

Protect yourself from tax fraud Scammers like to take advantage of tax time to go after unsuspecting Americans. Follow these tips to protect yourself from tax fraud. Be aware of scam phone calls. The IRS will never: Call or email you to ask for personal information. Demand immediate payment without first sending you a bill in the mail and giving you an opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe. Require you to use a specific payment method for taxes, like a prepaid debit card. Ask for credit card information over the phone. Threaten to have you arrested for not paying. If any of these things happen to you, report it to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at 1.800.366.4484 or at treasury.gov/tigta. File electronically and request that your refund be deposited directly into your account. Use ID theft prevention measures.

Read More Budgeting, Debt, Money Management, Saving 4 Steps to Spend Your Stimulus Check and Tax Refund Wisely By: America Saves Most Americans don’t have an emergency fund. While we’re all experiencing this pandemic very differently — some having only minor inconveniences and others finding themselves without a job or having to close their business — those without a savings cushion are vulnerable to feeling the ramifications of COVID-19 for a very long time. With stimulus checks and tax refunds on the way, there will be tough financial decisions to make once received. Here are active steps you can take, along with things to consider to help you develop a solid spending plan. Make a list of all expenses Write out every single expense that you have, including essentials like food and utilities. Be sure to go through your checking and savings account history to make sure you don’t have any “vampire” expenses, like monthly subscriptions that you may have forgotten about and no longer need. Talk to all creditors and lenders The CARES Act puts into effect two mortgage relief provisions: protection from foreclosure, and a right to forbearance (pausing or making partial payments) for those experiencing loss of income due to COVID-19. However, the provisions are not automatic and are only for federal loans, so you MUST talk to your lender. If a creditor/lender offers you a payment plan or other relief, make sure you get it in writing and take note of the names and dates of the customer service representatives with whom you speak. Thankfully, some utility companies have announced they won’t cut off services if they aren’t being paid. Be sure you know all of your utility and service providers’ stance on this, so there are no surprises. You don’t want to make any assumptions. If you cannot afford your DMP payments, contact your creditors directly to request for deferment on your credit cards. This will prevent your account from falling (further) past due and help to maintain your credit score. Creditors are making payment exceptions on a case by case basis. If you are granted a deferment from your creditors, please contact your CCC representative so that they can adjust your DMP payments. Prioritize expenses Expenses relating to food, shelter, and medicine should come first. This would include mortgage, rent, utilities, groceries, diapers, and medications. It also includes medical insurance premiums and homeowners/renter’s insurance. If you need childcare to work, that is another essential expense. Next in line are auto-related expenses, including transportation, gas, insurance premiums, and car payments. Loans that are secured by collateral (for example, mortgages and auto loans) are generally considered more important than those without collateral, like consumer credit card debt. For example, if you don’t pay your mortgage, a bank can foreclose on your property; if you don’t pay your car loan, the bank can seize your car. While not paying your credit card bills will negatively affect your credit score, credit card companies will not come into your house and take your personal possessions. Federal student loans are currently not accruing interest until September 30, 2020, and can be put into forbearance so that no payments are due. If you have a private or institutional loan, you will have to contact the lender for other options. If you struggle to make the minimum payment on your credit card, call CCC at 800-557-1985 option 5 to add the account to the program for a total consolidation of your outstanding debts. Expenses for “elective” items, like gym memberships, streaming services, and other subscriptions, come last. Before simply canceling a contract, make sure to contact the vendor – canceling may come with a hefty penalty, but you may be able to temporarily “pause” the service. Pay your debts in the order of priority. Now that you know all your expenses, have prioritized them, and know your payment options with creditors and lenders, it’s time to make the payments in order of priority. It’s important to note that many are still or will be receiving their tax refunds, too. If you receive a refund, you can apply the same process to that extra income. Remember, there is no prepayment penalty on your Debt Management Program! Contact your CCC representative to apply your stimulus check and/or tax refund toward your balances and pay off your debts. If you are still unsure or are overwhelmed with where to start, use our decision tree for guidance on what to do with your stimulus check and/or tax refund.

During this pandemic, as we recommend to cut back your living expenses by 25% for the next 90 days, we’ve made a list for you of the ways we’re doing that ourselves. There are some natural savings that happen when you follow social distancing rules, like spending less on gas, eating out, and entertainment. Below are some additional recommendations from the Crown team for cutting expenses and increasing your savings! Cut back on any unnecessary or luxury subscriptions Maybe Spotify free is the way to go for now. Here’s a video with easy ways to do this. Courtney said, “My husband and I both went through the last few statements of our bank accounts looking for subscriptions that we could cancel or downgrade. I didn’t realize I was paying for a few app subscriptions! That has saved us a few extra dollars a month.” Calvin and his wife have cut their gym memberships and are working out at home. They are also saving all discretionary dollars in their budget for a few months. Negotiate cable and internet rates You may be able to negotiate a better rate for your cable and/or internet. Businesses are wanting to keep their clients right now, so call to check if there are any special promotions you can take advantage of. “We contacted our internet provider and found that we could save 30% on monthly payment because they could move us to a new promotion package,” Alet said. Another one of our staff members canceled their cable TV altogether. Many streaming services are offering free promotions over the next few months, so be sure to look on Google for coupons before signing up for anything new. Turn off the lights Be mindful of your energy usage while you’re home. Do you have a habit of leaving the lights or ceiling fans on? Get up from your home office desk and make sure you’re not paying extra for that electricity! Defer medical bills If you need to, call your medical provider and set up a payment or deferment plan. Most will let you do this if you ask and work with them. Slow down loan payments or stop paying ahead – for now Several staff members have been paying ahead on their mortgage or student loans. For the next few months, their plan is to pay the required monthly balance as billed and use the extra to increase their savings. Save on your phone bill Handre called his mobile provider and moved to a less expensive package saving him each month on his family plan. Activate the “pantry challenge” Melinda and her family have challenged themselves to eat out of only their pantry and freezer before going out to eat. Once a week, someone grocery shops for a few fresh essentials for their meals. Other than that, they save money by depleting their stocked food and complying with social distancing rules. Go meatless Hannah said her family has moved to 3 meatless dinners a week. It has helped them to mix up their recipes and helped them cut back on their grocery bill! Save on insurance One member of the Crown staff said, “I contacted our home insurance company and asked if there were any discounts we could qualify for because of recent improvements we did to our home. A miracle happened – they lowered our yearly insurance amount by $400 and gave me $500 towards this year’s installment because we fixed the roof recently. We had already decided to give to people who were losing their jobs, and now our gifts have been doubled!” Trusting God’s Promise We know it’s not fun to take these steps, but we’re trusting in God’s promise that discipline now will pay off later. “For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.” Hebrews 12:11 (ESV) Here are a few other financial steps you can take to find peace and freedom. Pay off debt Now is a good time to work on decreasing or eliminating debt. If you need help making a plan, contact our partners Christian Credit Counselors. They’ll help you consolidate your payments so you can be debt-free sooner! Increase your savings If you’re not in the habit of saving, now would be a good time to start.

Read More Budgeting, Credit Cards, Holiday Tips, Money Management, Saving A Saver’s Guide to Holiday Shopping By: America Saves Ready or not, the holiday shopping season is here. With the multiple sale days between now and the end of the year, you can avoid being served a heaping side of seasonal debt along with your plate of honey-baked ham if you keep a few smart-saver tips in mind. Set Reasonable Expectations In 2012, it was reported that the average American expected to spend $854 on gifts during the holiday season. While many won’t spend that much on shopping, any spending that strains your finances or saddles you with post-holiday debt is bad for your financial future —period. Take the time to talk with family and friends about realistic holiday spending limits before you go shopping. Consider less expensive gift options like homemade gifts. If you have a large extended family, maybe it’s time to start a new tradition of picking one name out of a hat to buy a gift for, rather than everybody buying a gift for every person in the family. Plan, Budget, and Save One of the best approaches you can take to holiday shopping is figuring out who’s on your gift list, creating a holiday budget, and gradually setting money aside to help you avoid overspending, unwanted debt, and financial stress. You can find helpful budgeting tools on mymoney.gov. If you didn’t budget and save for this year, it’s never too early to start saving for next year. Check with your bank or credit union to see if they offer holiday savings accounts that you can use to save for next year’s holiday goals. If you set up a plan now and leave that money alone, you’ll have a nice gift fund in a year. Keep the Big Picture in Mind It can be easy to forget that we spend money on other things besides gifts during the holidays. Big holiday dinners, travel to see family and friends and even increased electricity costs to run massive holiday light displays can drain your bank account. Make sure you plan for the cost of all of your extra holiday activities. Watch Out for Costly Surprises If you’re using gift cards or layaway plans, make sure you fully understand the terms and conditions. Expiration dates, inactivity rules, and hidden fees on gift cards can eat away at their value if you’re not careful. Take the same cautious approach with store credit cards that you’re offered at checkout. They might save you a few bucks at the register today but stick you with very high-interest rates later. Avoid Holiday Debt Traps Doing things like catching early sales, comparison shopping, ordering from sites or stores that offer free shipping, shopping at discount stores, and buying items that offer rebates can help save you money on holiday purchases. However, don’t let the excitement of holiday deals go to your head! If you rush to a store sale because you can get a $3,000 television for $2,000, you’ve still spent $2,000. Was that really something you had planned to do? Also, don’t be enticed by payday lenders who want to “help” you get holiday cash. Proper planning and saving long before the holiday can help you avoid a cycle of high-interest debt that can last for weeks or even months after the holidays are over. Keep in mind that holiday spending is short-term spending. Once the unwrapping frenzy is over, how long will the excitement last? Saving your money for long-term goals like homeownership, college or a comfortable retirement may be the very best gift you can give yourself and your loved ones. Read More Budgeting, Coupons, Holiday Tips, Saving How to Save During the Holidays By: America Saves Holidays are often an exciting time of the year. Spending time with family, enjoying time off work, and celebrating with family traditions are enjoyable activities. However, the holidays can also represent added stress due to the crunch on your wallet. It is hard to look forward to a holiday if you are worried about how to pay for it. Have you stressed about how to provide a fun experience for your family without breaking the bank? Decorations, gifts, and food expenses add up quickly. To avoid this financial strain, it is important to plan for holiday expenses throughout the year. America Saves has compiled some tips to help you plan for a fulfilling holiday season while not drowning in expenses. Develop a Holiday Budget One way to reduce impulsive spending is to develop a budget that includes clear expectations for travel, food, entertainment, and gift-giving expenses. Set your spending limit before you start budgeting. And stick to your limit. That might mean making some compromises. Decide what you will spend on each person before going shopping. If possible, talk with family members and friends to set a spending limit that everyone can spend on each gift. Be as comprehensive as you can when you create your budget. Make a list of everyone who will receive a gift as well as all items that will cost money during the holiday season. Some items often forgotten include gasoline, babysitter fees, eating at restaurants more often, and so on. Reduce your spending. Add up the total of your holiday list, and don’t be shy about reducing it some more. Challenge yourself to spend a little less each year. Consider writing handwritten notes expressing thanks or appreciation rather than buying gifts when possible to reduce your spending costs. Divide the list into necessary items (needs) and extra opportunities (wants). For example, gasoline is a needed expense for traveling while eating out at restaurants while on the road is an extra expense that can be avoided if needed. Dividing your list will help you save for all necessary expenses and provide a list of ideas in case extra money is leftover. As part of your budget, determine how you will pay for each item. Paying with cash will help avoid unexpected spending. Paying with a credit card without keeping track of spending may cause you to forget purchases for which you’ll have to pay later. If paying with layaway, look out for hidden fees and be sure to budget for any interest added. Carry a copy of your budget with you, and be sure to follow it while in stores. Once a budget is made, it can still be hard to follow. In-store sales are tempting, but making impulsive purchases, no matter how small, can add up quickly. Plan your shopping trips ahead of time by reviewing store ads for upcoming sales. This step will lower costs while also helping to reduce impulsive decisions while in the store. Remember to save. Continue saving over the holidays so you don’t shortchange your retirement, education, small business, or other goals. Stick to more long-term savings goals and avoid the accumulation of new debt. Download our Free Holiday Budget Printable for easy budget construction, and check out additional budgeting tips here. Consider the following tips for the upcoming holidays: Cooking an entire holiday meal on your own can be expensive. Consider having a potluck with friends and family to avoid cooking or paying for the entire meal yourself. Keep the menu simple. Dinner can be special without two different types of meat, four vegetable dishes, and three different desserts. If you plan to serve mashed potatoes and gravy, you can skip the macaroni and cheese casserole. If you plan to make candied carrots, no need to serve candied yams also. Plan for meals ahead of time to take advantage of coupons and grocery deals. Advertisements about upcoming sales can be found online and in local newspapers. Using in-season produce for recipes can often reduce food costs. Reduce travel expenses by visiting out-of-town families for one holiday during the winter season (such as just Thanksgiving or only Christmas, rather than both holidays). Consider setting up new holiday traditions that cost less. For example, some families or friend groups use “Secret Santa,” where each person draws a name randomly so that each person receives a gift and each person only buys a gift for one person. Consider spending time together rather than gift-giving. Other ideas include a nice dinner out or playing games as a group. When it comes to holiday spending, the important thing is to stick to your budget. We all want holidays to be special, but if you create debt in the process, it will end up being more of a headache than a holiday. Spending less is just the first part of a successful financial plan. Put away the money you save during the holidays into a savings account for future expenses, both anticipated and unexpected ones. Those with a savings plan are twice as likely to save successfully. Let America Saves help you reach your savings and debt reduction goals. It all starts when you make a commitment to yourself to save. That’s what our pledge is all about.

Read More Budgeting, Credit, Credit Cards, Credit Score, Debt, Money Management, Saving, Student Loans Top 9 Money Mistakes People Make By Jim Garnett, The Debt Doctor After counseling average Americans about their financial problems for many years, I noticed early on that there is a common set of money mistakes people usually make. Money Mistake #1: Being comfortable with debt. Why would anyone choose to be a slave if he could choose to be free? One answer is because, over a period of time, one seems to develop a “slave mentality.” They have never known freedom and have gotten used to being slaves. There is a very real sense that being in debt makes us slaves. The wise King Solomon wrote, “The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave of the lender” (Proverbs 22:7 NRSV). Many in our society have been in debt so long, they have cultivated a “debt mentality.” Because they have never known financial freedom, they grow accustomed to being in debt and accept it as “the normal way of life.” But just imagine what it would be like to be out of debt and not have a mortgage payment or car payment each month? Just think what you could do with all that money. Out of debt, you would not need as much money to live, and you would be free to use this money which was once tied up in debt payments for whatever you wanted. Just think of being in your 30’s or early 40’s and being able to have discretionary monies of $2,000 to $3,000 a month. You could put a sizable amount away toward car replacement, house repair, or future education needs. And imagine what it would be like to be able to write checks to your church or charities that are sizable in amount. Being debt-free would allow you the freedom to grow wealth quickly and give substantially. It is high time we stop treating debt like an old family friend that has moved in to stay with us forever! We need to kick him out and send him on his way! There is no reason to remain enslaved to debt when we can be free. Money Mistake #2: Not knowing what we spend each month. The only part of the budget process that many people know is the “what I make” part. Most people are totally in the dark about the “what I spend” part. This money mistake is one of the main reasons why 40% of Americans spend more than they make each month. Sadly, most of that 40% are unaware that they do. How can this be? Because by using credit cards each month, an illusion is created that makes us think we are doing fine financially. After all, the bills are getting paid on time. This may be true, but if the credit cards were put in a drawer and not used for two months, the bills would not, nor could not, be paid on time. Without the constant use of credit, we would see that we are running out of money before we run out of the month. Being smart with our money, no matter what amount that might be, includes knowing how much we spend in relation to how much we make. Using credit hides that fact from our eyes. Once we determine what we are spending, we can bring our spending in line with our earnings by either spending less or making more. To get to a destination, we must know where we presently are. That’s why the first step in money management is always to know what we spend. Money Mistake #3: Behaving like credit cards are money. Many people say they know that credit cards are not money, but their actions betray their words. A college sophomore once told me, “No matter how broke I am, I always have money in my pocket with my two credit cards.” Like many, he was confusing the “buying power” of his cards with money. But when we use a credit card, we are not spending money but borrowing money in as much the same manner as when we take out a loan at a bank. The buying power of our credit card originates from borrowing money from a creditor – we call that borrowed money “credit.” If that credit is not repaid within a certain amount of time, a high-interest rate is added to the debt. I am convinced that if we actually viewed our credit cards as the ability to borrow money – money that must be repaid – we would greatly restrain ourselves in their use. Money Mistake #4: Being satisfied with only making minimum monthly payments. Interest.com calculates that paying off a $2,000 credit card balance with an 18% interest rate at a minimum payment of 2% would take 288 months or 24 years to pay off. So, if at age 30 you closed the card and just paid on it at monthly minimums, you would be 39 years old when you finally pay it off! But note, you would not have paid just $2,000 but $6,396.40 because of the added interest charges. I don’t know about you, but I work far too hard for my money to spend it like that. Money Mistake #5: Borrowing to “pay off” debt. Borrowing to pay off debt normally backfires! It has similar results to digging a hole in our front yard so we can fill in the hole in our backyard. This “money mistake” yields some pretty disastrous results: Our borrowing does not actually “pay off” debt – it merely moves the debt to a different location. Now we have a second mortgage on our home or a loan against our 401(k). The debt we pay off by borrowing usually reappears within 3 years. This occurs because our borrowing makes it unnecessary to change our spending habits. Borrowing against our home equity turns an unsecured debt into a secured debt. That’s why the interest rate is now less – the bank would rather loan against our house than loan against our name because it is less risky. Borrowing against our 401(k) often has a 10% penalty if we are not 59.5 years old, plus the monies we borrow are taxed as income. At times, 40% of the monies taken from a 401(k) loan will “disappear” in penalty and taxes. If we move again, our house produces very little profit because we have increased the mortgage balance, plus there is little to put down for a down payment on our new home. When we are old enough to retire, we often cannot because our home is not paid off. We still have house payments to make because we borrowed against it to “pay off” debt. Borrowing to pay off debt does not decrease our debt, and often we are worse off than we were before. Money Mistake #6: Co-signing a loan. It’s great to help somebody get a loan, but it’s critical to understand the risks before doing so. There’s a reason the lender wants a cosigner: The lender isn’t confident that the primary borrower can repay in full and on time. If a professional lender isn’t comfortable with the borrower, you’d better have a good reason for taking the risk. Lenders have access to data and extensive experience working with borrowers. The co-signer promises to repay the other person’s debt if, for any reason, he does not. The liability assumed is for 100% of the debt, thus, if $5,000 is the total amount borrowed, the co-signer is responsible for the entire $5,000 if the other person defaults. Also, the co-signer’s credit score can be affected if the primary signer makes late payments or misses payments on the loan. Currently, 75% of student loan co-signers end up making payments on the student loan. Money Mistake #7: Having no emergency savings. A recent survey asked people if they could get $2,000 for an emergency. The results revealed that 55% of the respondents said they could get the money within 30 days, but 92% of those people said they would need to borrow the money from family, friends, bank loans, or credit cards. Another survey revealed that 28% of the 1,000 people surveyed have absolutely nothing in savings. In other words, many people are simply not prepared for emergencies. Money Mistake #8: Creating debt for tax benefits or to establish credit. Debt for Tax Benefits. It is good to claim every deduction that you can on your taxes, but it is often not good to spend money in order to get a tax deduction. An example would be the deduction one is allowed to take for interest paid on a mortgage loan. If I paid $10,000 of interest and was in a 25% tax bracket, I would receive a tax deduction of $2,500. If I absolutely had to pay the interest, I would surely deduct it. But if I had the choice of paying my home off and having no interest to pay, that would be my choice by far. I would rather have the $10,000 non-spent money in my hand than receive a $2,500 tax deduction. I may pay more tax, but on the other hand, if I gave monies to charities, I would receive the same deduction. Remember, you often have to spend your money to receive tax deductions. If you are not careful, you can “tax deduct yourself into the poor house.” Debt for Establishing Credit. One of my clients followed the advice of her financial counselor and bought a house in order to build up her credit score! In order to establish credit, you simply need to pay your bills on time. You do not need to maintain debt to do this. You can establish your credit just as well by paying your credit card balance in full each month. Money Mistake #9: Thinking that good credit is the most important thing in life. Good credit is important, but it is not the most important thing in life. The main benefit of having good credit is being able to go into debt with good terms. But what if we decide we are not going to go any further into debt and work out a plan to get out of debt and stay out of debt? Then the benefits of good credit are not nearly as important to us. To me, the benefits of living debt-free are much more important than the benefits of having good credit. It is true that most people who live debt-free also have good credit, but it was not their good credit that allowed them to become debt-free. It was their living within their means and discontinuing the use of credit to create any further debt. Mind you, I am certainly not advocating that one should have bad credit. I am simply stating that getting out of debt and staying out of debt is much more important than having good credit. The benefit of observing and sharing these money mistakes is that they allow us to learn from the mistakes of others.

One of the websites of the Church of God, a Worldwide Association (COGWA) had the following about the Book of Zephaniah: Main theme The theme of the book is the Day of the Lord. Despite the fact that Zephaniah warns Judah of impending doom, the prophecy is dual, and the major fulfillment of his prophecy is yet future. Although the prophet’s pronouncements focus on Jerusalem, nations nearby (Assyria, Ethiopia, Moab and Ammon) and all other nations of the earth are included in the warnings (Zephaniah 1:2-3; 3:6, 8, 20). This book points forward to the dramatic and earthshaking events that will unfold before the return of Christ to the earth (1:9, 15-18). When these major prophecies come to pass, it will be better to be “hidden in the day of the Lord’s anger” (2:3) than to be in the midst of what occurs when God intervenes and brings righteous judgment on mankind. God’s indignation will be poured out on all nations, and none will escape: “My determination is to gather the nations to My assembly of kingdoms, to pour on them My indignation, all My fierce anger; all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of My jealousy” (3:8, emphasis added throughout). God’s anger will be felt worldwide. A remnant is saved For those who are willing to seek and submit to God, God promises protection during a period of unprecedented destruction. This time of Great Tribulation was also prophesied by Daniel (Daniel 12:1) and later by Jesus Christ: “And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved [alive]; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened” (Matthew 24:22)… Here is one way to outline the book of Zephaniah: The Day of the Lord (chapter 1). Prophecies concerning the entire earth (1:1-3). Prophecies regarding Judah and Jerusalem (1:4-9). God’s wrath on rebellious mankind (1:10-18). Nations warned of coming judgment (chapters 2-3:7). Repentant meek are spared (2:1-3). Surrounding nations warned of impending punishment (2:4-15). Entire earth to be punished (3:1-7). Ultimate deliverance: God’s people restored (3:8-20). A pure language taught (3:8-9). God dwells with His people (3:10-20). Zephaniah is one of the books of the Bible that places the destruction of end-time Assyria with that of end-time Babylon (Zephaniah 2:13-15; see also Germany in Biblical and Catholic Prophecy). But a point that I would like to emphasize related to Zephaniah and who gets protected is that it is not simply those that are meek who get protected, but those who truly uphold God’s justice. Those Christians who are promised end time protection are those that are truly Philadelphian Christians (Revelation 3:7-13). The Bible teaches that not all Christians will be protected at the time of the end (see also Revelation 12:14-17). Notice some of those scriptures as well as the some in Zephaniah: 7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, ‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”: 8 “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 9 Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie — indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11 Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. (Revelation 3:7-12) 14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Revelation 12:14-17) 1 Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, O undesirable nation, 2 Before the decree is issued, Or the day passes like chaff, Before the Lord’s fierce anger comes upon you, Before the day of the Lord’s anger comes upon you! 3 Seek the Lord, all you meek of the earth, Who have upheld His justice. Seek righteousness, seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden In the day of the Lord’s anger. (Zephaniah 2:1-3) So, it is those that will gather together BEFORE a decree will be issued and who are Philadelphia Christians that are promised protection. It is those who hold fast to the priorities and work of Philadelphia by placing their proper emphasis on doing the work (Matthew 24:14; 28:19-20) as well as live as Philadelphia Christians will be protected, while others who follow Jesus will not be. Some items of possibly related interest may include: There is a Place of Safety for the Philadelphians. Why it May Be Petra This article discusses a biblical ‘place of safety’ and includes quotes from the Bible and Herbert W. Armstrong on this subject–thus, there is a biblically supported alternative to the rapture theory. There is also a video on the subject: Might Petra be the Place of Safety? Here is something related in the Spanish language: Hay un lugar de seguridad para los Filadelfinos. ¿Puede ser Petra? This is PETRA! This is a 1962 Good News article by the late Dr. Hoeh. Concerns about Church of God, a Worldwide Association This seems to be the largest group that came out of the United Church of God. Here is some history and concerns about it. Should the Church Still Try to Place its Top Priority on Proclaiming the Gospel or Did Herbert W. Armstrong Change that Priority for the Work? Some say the Church should mainly feed the flock now as that is what Herbert W. Armstrong reportedly said. Is that what he said? Is that what the Bible says? What did Paul and Herbert W. Armstrong expect from evangelists? The Philadelphia Church Era was predominant circa 1933 A.D. to 1986 A.D. The old Radio Church of God and old Worldwide Church of God, now basically the most faithful in the Church of God, like the beliefs held of the Continuing Church of God. The Laodicean Church Era has been predominant circa 1986 A.D. to present. These are non-Philadelphians who mainly descended from the old WCG.

Moderna Inc. said it would ask U.S. and European regulators Monday to allow emergency use of its COVID-19 vaccine as new study results confirm the shots offer strong protection — ramping up the race to begin limited vaccinations as the coronavirus rampage worsens. Multiple vaccine candidates must succeed for the world to stamp out the pandemic, which has been on the upswing in the U.S. and Europe. U.S. hospitals have been stretched to the limit as the nation has seen more than 160,000 new cases per day and more than 1,400 daily deaths. Since first emerging nearly a year ago in China, the virus has killed more than 1.4 million people worldwide. Moderna is just behind Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech in seeking to begin vaccinations in the U.S. in December. British regulators also are assessing the Pfizer shot and another from AstraZeneca. Moderna created its shots with the U.S. National Institutes of Health and already had a hint they were working, but said it got the final needed results over the weekend that suggest the vaccine is more than 94% effective. Of 196 COVID-19 cases so far in its huge U.S. study, 185 were trial participants who received the placebo and 11 who got the real vaccine. The only people who got severely ill — 30 participants, including one who died — had received dummy shots, said Dr. Tal Zaks, the Cambridge, Massachusetts, company's chief medical officer. When he learned the results, “I allowed myself to cry for the first time,” Zaks told The Associated Press. “We have already, just in the trial, have already saved lives. Just imagine the impact then multiplied to the people who can get this vaccine.” Moderna said the shots’ effectiveness and a good safety record so far — with only temporary, flu-like side effects — mean they meet requirements set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for emergency use before the final-stage testing is complete. The European Medicines Agency, Europe’s version of FDA, has signaled it also is open to faster “conditional" clearance. What comes next The FDA has pledged that before it decides to roll out any COVID-19 vaccines, its scientific advisers will publicly debate whether there’s enough evidence behind each candidate. First up on Dec. 10, Pfizer and BioNTech will present data suggesting their vaccine candidate is 95% effective. Moderna said its turn at this “science court” is expected exactly a week later, on Dec. 17. Rationing initial doses If the FDA allows emergency use, Moderna expects to have 20 million doses ready for the U.S. by year’s end. Recipients will need two doses, so that’s enough for 10 million people. Pfizer expects to have 50 million doses globally in December. Half of them — or enough for 12.5 million people — are earmarked for the U.S. Shipments are set to begin to states within 24 hours of FDA clearance. And this week, a different panel of U.S. experts, established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will meet to decide how those initial supplies will be given out. They're expected to reserve scarce first doses for health care workers and, if the shots work well enough in the frail elderly, for residents of long-term care facilities. As more vaccine gradually becomes available in coming months, other essential workers and people at highest risk from the coronavirus would get in line. But enough for the general U.S. population isn't expected until at least spring. Outside the U.S., Zaks said significant supplies from Moderna would be available later, “in the first quarter” of next year. “Obviously we are doing everything in our power to increase the capacity and accelerate the timelines,” he said. Britain's government said Sunday it has ordered 7 million doses from Moderna. The U.K. also has ordered 40 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, although it's not clear how much of the companies' limited December supply could go toward that order — if British health authorities clear the shots. Still, British hospitals are gearing up to receive some doses as early as next week. Both Moderna's and Pfizer's vaccines are made with the same technology, using a piece of genetic code for the “spike” protein that studs the virus. That messenger RNA, or mRNA, instructs the body to make some harmless spike protein, training immune cells to recognize it if the real virus eventually comes along. AstraZeneca confusion AstraZeneca and Oxford University last week announced confusing early results of their vaccine candidate from research in Britain and Brazil. That vaccine appears 62% effective when tested as originally intended, with recipients given two full doses. But because of a manufacturing error, a small number of volunteers got a lower first dose — and AstraZeneca said in that group, the vaccine appeared to be 90% effective. Experts say it’s unclear why the lower-dose approach would work better and that it may just be a statistical quirk. A larger U.S. study of the AstraZeneca candidate still is underway that should eventually give the FDA a better picture of how well it works. The FDA has said any COVID-19 vaccine would have to be at least 50% effective. Meanwhile Britain’s government will have to decide whether its U.K. data is sufficient for an early rollout there. Still in the pipeline Johnson & Johnson also is in final-stage testing in the U.S. and several other countries to see if its vaccine candidate could work with just one dose. Both the J&J and AstraZeneca vaccines work by using harmless cold viruses to carry the spike protein gene into the body and prime the immune system. The different technologies have ramifications for how easily different vaccines could be distributed globally. The AstraZeneca shots won't require freezer storage like the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. Candidates made with still other technologies are in late-stage testing, too. Another U.S. company, Novavax Inc., announced Monday that it has finished enrolling 15,000 people in a late-stage study in Britain and plans to begin recruiting even more volunteers for final testing in the U.S. and Mexico “in the coming weeks.” Vaccines made by three Chinese companies and a Russian candidate also are being tested in thousands of people in countries around the world.

The IRS has continued to stick to its weekly schedule of fresh stimulus checks. Here is some more information about the third round of payments and the extra plus-up payments. So if you are yet to get your third stimulus check, or feel that you deserve more than what you received, here are some facts that could help you. The IRS has sent out 165 million payments in total under the American Rescue Plan signed by President Biden in March. The amount sent out is around $388 billion and that includes many plus-up payments. There are many other ways you could receive payments this year even as the administration tries to try additional measures to ease the effect of the economic downturn caused by the pandemic. - Advertisement - In the rush to send payments, the IRS has in many instances failed to send stimulus checks. There have also been issues with the correct amount. Here is how you can take up these issues with the authorities, and file for a payment trace. The Narrative Behind The plus-up Stimulus Check The current round of payments has also included plus-up payments. In the latest round this week, the IRS sent out nearly a million checks, including 460,000 plus-up payments worth $800 million. Half of the total payments dispatched this week were based on the fresh tax filings just before the extended deadline on May 17. Why would the plus-up checks be needed in the first place? The IRS based its payments on the last tax returns filed. As many people had yet to file their taxes in March, when the bulk of the stimulus checks were sent out, many did not get the correct amount. Fresh Calculations Based On The 2020 Tax Returns Stimulus check - Advertisement - Once the authorities got fresh info based on the 2020 tax returns, they began dispatching the extra catch-up payments. You may have earned less in 2020 and that allows you to claim more payment than you initially received. The stimulus checks are linked to the Adjusted Gross Income to calculate the amount that you qualify for the third stimulus check. Other factors that could give you more money is the birth of a child in 2020 or any increase in the number of dependents. Every dependent contributes up to $1,400 to the total stimulus check. The IRS is sending these plus-up payments to even up the amount due to you. But you need to do your calculations based on the online calculators available. It will help you arrive at the exact amount due to you and compare it with the payments you have received. If you feel that you are owed more, you can claim the same in the 2021 tax returns to be filed next year. The IRS might also open a window before the December 31 deadline to send out the stimulus payments. Signing Up For The ‘Get My Payment’ Stimulus Tracker You can get a daily update on when your third Economic Impact Payment is scheduled from the stimulus tracker. You can also know how and when the payment will be sent. The tracker is updated once at the end of each day. The tracker doesn’t contain information on the first and second stimulus payments. The tracker will alert you if there is any problem with your payment. But it doesn’t contain any information about the plus-up payments. If your payment has been dispatched through the US postal service, you can use their online free tool to track your payment. It will be either a debit card or a paper check and take around 4 weeks to reach you. The Timelines Through December To expedite the process, the IRS has been sending out stimulus checks based on the information they have. So any fresh information could read to a follow-up stimulus check, referred to as the plus-up payment. The Economic Impact Payment has an extended deadline of December 31, 2021. This allows the IRS the time to make fresh calculations based on the 2020 tax returns filed before the May 17 deadline. Some people have recently moved and have just given their latest mailing address, or who have updated their bank details for direct transfers. But the IRS stopped direct transfers for the third stimulus check after March 24. Even if you do get your payment by the end of this year, you have the option of claiming any pending amount through a Recover Rebate Credit in the tax season next year. Update On The Fourth Stimulus Check stimulus check Realizing that the third stimulus check would not last more than a couple of months for most Americans, many Democratic lawmakers began pressing for a fourth stimulus check. Many people have also petitioned through online forums, with just one site collecting more than 2.2 million signatures in a joint petition. They have urged President Biden to continue with the stimulus payments till the economy recovers. The President though is at present preoccupied with the infrastructure plans. If passed through Congress, it will be worth $2 trillion and will go a long way to rebuild a new economy. Called the American Jobs Plan, it is an investment to rebuild the American infrastructure and cover roads, bridges, water systems, electric grid, internet infrastructure, education, and many other sectors. Claiming Any Money Owed From The Previous Rounds of Stimulus Payments If you are owed money from the first and second round of stimulus payments, the last date for claiming it was through the Recovery Rebate Credit with the 2020 tax returns. You can file for an extension if you have not filed by the May 17 extended deadline. Reasons You May Have Missed Out On Your 3rd Stimulus Check As millions of payments went out starting March, you might have missed out on your stimulus check or received less than you are owed. There are several reasons for that, the most obvious being calculation error. There are various other reasons, including your check getting delayed in the mail. You could also miss out if you have not updated any address change or not given the latest bank details to the IRS. Your check might be returned in such a case. There is also the possibility of your payment being garnished by private debt collectors. You should contact your bank and explore the possibility of filing for a restraint. Some Additional Rules And Exceptions For The Third Stimulus Check There are some additional rules for dependents. The new American Rescue Plan has allocated $1,400 for dependents of any age. For the first time, adult dependents are also eligible. Families with mixed status have qualified. Persons with valid Social Security numbers will be eligible for the third stimulus payment. But unlike the previous rounds, if your family has one member filing returns with an ITIN, your family will still qualify for the third stimulus check. For the first time, you can receive your stimulus check even if you are past due on child support. And your check will not be garnished for this payment.

The Foreign Minister added this was advice provided by the World Health Organisation. His comments come as it has emerged British passengers returning from Dubai have been flying into Dublin Airport to dodge UK travel rules. Britain banned direct passenger flights from the UAE recently. But Mr Coveney pledged if there is “a serious problem” with UK travellers coming through the Republic to avoid quarantine, the government will “sort it out”.

A number of airport and airline workers are believed to be unhappy as they feel like they are being put at risk due by the passengers. One shocking incident saw unruly passengers urinate on a number of seats on one aircraft, a source told the newspaper. It is believed that at least one day saw extra passenger capacity was added to Dublin routes from the UAE last week. Airport staff have been referring to the practice as "the Dublin dodge". British citizens arriving from the UAE are expected to self-isolate for 10 days on returning to the UK, but some passengers are evading quarantine restrictions by arriving from Dublin on separate bookings. Others are waiting until they arrive in Dublin to book their journeys back with some staying overnight in the capital. For the latest news and breaking news visit dublinlive.ie/news.

In this article: business, california, copyrightinfringement, copyrightoffice, dmca, electronicarts, EntertainmentSoftwareAssociation, esa, gaming, internet, made, microsoft, museumofartanddigitalentertainment, nintendo, sony, theesa, ubisfot Getty Images/iStockphoto The video game industry as a whole does a poor job of preserving its history -- especially when it comes to online games. The Entertainment Software Association -- responsible for E3; counts Electronic Arts, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo and Ubisoft as members -- is petitioning the US Copyright Office to not make DMCA exemptions for abandoned online multiplayer games. It's an effort to block the folks at the Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment in California who would like to see an exemption made to how the DMCA treats titles like the original Everquest. The ESA's reasoning for opposing? It thinks that letting third parties operate online servers will result, more or less, in a library or museum committing copyright breach. Giving access to the proprietary server code could hypothetically lead to preservation societies building their own infrastructure and charging for access. Thus, they'd be a direct competitor to the original developers and publishers, which is something the ESA isn't exactly keen on. As Torrent Freak notes, MADE already does this with offline games, charging $10 admission for all-you-can-play games. This is something the ESA doesn't seem too happy about either, saying that non-profit organizations "enjoy no special immunity" from copyright violations. There's also a worry that it'd lead to more people jailbreaking their consoles so they could play online from home. In its (admittedly weak) defense, the ESA says its members do work to maintain gaming's history. "The prevalence of reissues of older games belies any claim that game companies lack incentive to preserve older titles," the ESA writes. Sure, but those remasters rarely if ever feature the full-fat original online multiplayer experience. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, for instance, only shipped with a handful of the original game's classic maps. The ESA suggests the proposed DMCA expansion should be rejected, saying that although the Copyright Office has said "properly crafted exemption for preservationists can satisfy their needs without impacting the market," the expansion is "far from properly crafted." "Although the proponents purport to seek the broadened exemption for the purpose of preservation, proponents appear to view recreational gameplay as within the ambit of 'preservation,'" the ESA writes. "Online multiplayer gameplay is not necessary for preservation or for subsequent scholarly purposes."

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton took aim at Republican rival Donald Trump during a campaign stop in Reno, Nevada on Thursday (25 August), before taking outspoken Ukip leader, Nigel Farage, to task over his political views. Clinton's comments come a day after Farage joined Trump on the campaign trail at a Mississippi rally. She claimed that Farage had "stoked anti-immigrant sentiments" as part of the Leave campaign, which led to a successful Brexit vote during the country's EU referendum.

The Democratic nominee later suggested that Farage and Russian President Vladimir Putin were linked to each other. "In fact, Farage has appeared regularly on Russian propaganda programmes," she said. "Now he's standing on the same stage as the Republican nominee." Farage, disputed Clinton's remarks, telling Breitbart London he believes her comments are "extraordinary". "I think Hillary Clinton is running scared. Her attacks on me are completely baseless. She sounds rather like Bob Geldof and can't accept Brexit," Farage said. He continued: "Perhaps Mrs Clinton should spend more time speaking to normal, working people in her country than trying to attack me using dodgy half-quotes." Breitbart London reported that Farage did not suggest that the children of legal immigrants should be banned from public schools but instead said people who have not paid into the UK tax system should not benefit from public money until they pay in. Farage has, however, said that women who take maternity leave are perceived by employers to be "worth less" and supported getting rid of EU discrimination laws. '@HillaryClinton should spend more time speaking to working people rather than attacking me using dodgy half-quotes. https://t.co/ao5KOlRPjq — Nigel Farage (@Nigel_Farage) August 25, 2016 Clinton also spent considerable time attacking her rival, claiming the Trump Campaign has been built on "prejudice and paranoia". "He's taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over one of America's two major political parties," Clinton said. "His disregard for the values that make our country great is profoundly dangerous." Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton speaks at a rally at Truckee Meadows Community College in Reno, Nevada, 25 August 2016 REUTERS/Aaron P. Bernstein The Democratic nominee questioned Trump's recent focus on black and Latino voters. "It takes a lot of nerve to ask people he's ignored and mistreated for decades, "What do you have to lose?" The answer is everything!" she said. Clinton then accused her bombastic rival of "reinforcing harmful stereotypes and offering a dog whistle to his most hateful supporters." In response, Trump said she "is the only one fear-mongering," adding she should be "ashamed of herself!" He added on Twitter: "Hillary Clinton is using race-baiting to try to get African-American voters- but they know she is all talk and NO ACTION!"

Customer satisfaction is key to winning more sales and long-term customer loyalty for your business. However, it all starts with the customer's experience with your business. Here's what I mean: how the customer is approached and how his or her questions are answered about your products/services during the interest stage. This helps in persuading him or her to close a sale and continue coming back. As a matter of fact, according to A RightNow Technologies report about customer experience, it was found out that 85% of customers are ready to pay more for a satisfactory customer experience. Furthermore, 55% of consumers turned into customers of a brand because of its reputation for a great customer service. Here are hacks to help you break the ice and satisfy your customers with a great service: 1. Quick Responses Customers are always looking for information about your business/products before they make a purchase. Why? Because they are naturally scared of buying from strangers, so they have to first develop trust for your business. As a result, they need quick answers to their questions because if they don't get the quick replies, they give up on their purchases. For example: according to Foster Research, 57% of your potential customers abandon their purchase if they can't get quick responses. Making the response speed one of the most important customer service metrics On the other hand, quick responses give your customers a great experience and help them through their journey of developing trust for your business. However, this depends on how they're impressed with your customer service. 2. Personalizing Messages Sending personalized messages to your customers delights them because these messages are always tailored to a specific customer with exactly what they are interested in. Customers hate flooding their mails with generalized messages as most of them are even off topic far different from what they are looking for. However, customers always welcome messages tailored specifically to them. That's why personalized mailings have higher open rates of 20% and click rates of 41% than the non-personalized. Wondering how to do this? You can use your customer's search history on your website to check on their behaviours like which pages they usually visit. By the way, with a customer service app, you can use chat transcripts to get relevant information on your customer's specific inquiries. 3. Consistent Follow-up After the customer has purchased from your business, don't stop following up on them as you might lose out. Follow up on them to check on their experience with your business. Why? Because it's a sign of care and bonds the customer with your business. As a matter of fact, follow up gives you the golden opportunity of attracting your customers back and If you don't follow up on them, most of your customers don't come back. Look at this: According to a study by Bain and Company, 60 to 80% of customers who consider themselves being satisfied ignore going back to businesses they claim to have satisfied them. Thus, with consistent follow-ups, more customer satisfaction is enhanced because customer experience with your products/services is considered a priority. 4. Proactive Communication Proactive communication is another way of ensuring customer satisfaction because you solve customer issues before they arise. What does this mean? You forecast information the customer might need and deliver it to them before they ask for it. This improves your relationship with your customers as you show concern by providing unsolicited insights. Best of all, with customer service software, proactive communication can be done through the following approaches: Through real-time conversation You can ask your customers during the chat whether they need anything or provide to them a solution in advance if anything arises when they're using your product. Through Email You don't have to proactively communicate with your customers only when they're online but you can also send them support messages via email when they're offline. More so with email automation, you can send the emails consistently. Through Auto-Messages This involves automatically delivering inbuilt messages to customers according to certain conditions. Like if a customer spends 20 seconds on a page on your website, you can trigger a friendly popup message with an offer to help. What makes proactive communication so powerful is that it increases sales because of the satisfaction it gives to your customers. Case in point: A Forrester Research study reveals that David's bridal received a 30 to 50% conversion rate and increased its average order value from 10 to 20% after installing proactive chat on its website. 5. 24/7 Availability Providing 24/7 customer service is among the best customer service practices and assures your customers of help whenever they need it. Well, with the convenience of the internet, customers can access your business website with their different devices at whatever time and you should always be at their service. According to a research by The Sales Force, 75% of consumers say it's critical to engage with a salesperson when needed. Thus, the need for a 24/7 customer service. Here's how you can achieve this: With a live response service, you can set up bots to handle your customers anytime even when the live agent is away. But that's just part of it, you can also hire an international customer support team to be 24/7 active. Remember, the internet connects your business to the whole world with different time zones. Why does this matter? As you are winding up for the day's work, others are waking up to embark on a new day's tasks and these might need your services. Don't let your customer service go to sleep with you. The Bottom Line Customers today value improved, consistent customer care services more than the price of your goods/services. And according to a research by The Sales Force, 75% of customers hope for consistent customer service each time they engage. Want to know the best part? An improved customer service creates a lasting impression in the minds of your customers and contributes greatly to winning their loyalty. The good news is that with the best help desk software, you can integrate all your customer communication in one place and deliver exceptional services to them.

If your furnace smells while running, it’s attempting to tell you something’s up. We’ve put together a list of the top six furnace smells so you can learn what causes them and how to repair them. These include: Burning smell from furnace Furnace smells like burning plastic Gas smell from furnace Furnace smells like sewer Furnace smells musty 1. Burning Smell from Furnace Cause: Dusty Furnace If your furnace smells like burning, it’s probably happening when you turn on your furnace for the first time in the fall. Like anything else in your house, your furnace accumulates dust over time. This dust burns off when you turn on the heat, resulting in the burning dust smell from your furnace. 2. Furnace Smells Like Burning Plastic Cause: Electrical Problem If your furnace smells like burning plastic or burning rubber, it might have an electrical problem. This smell of burning can be created by melting plastic wire casing, which is a safety hazard. If you’re noticing a melted plastic smell, turn off your heating system right away and call us at 309-517-7511 for furnace repair. Cause: Overheated Motor or Cracked Furnace Exchanger An electrical burning smell could also mean your furnace motor is overheated or the heat exchanger is cracked. The heat exchanger safely exhausts carbon monoxide that’s naturally produced during the combustion process. If it cracks, carbon monoxide can leak into your home. This invisible gas is fatal in large doses. So, it’s important to have an HVAC professional do annual furnace maintenance and have functional carbon monoxide detectors. Other symptoms of a cracked heat exchanger include: Soot on or inside the furnace Yellow burner flame, instead of blue Chemical smell from furnace, such as formaldehyde Water around your furnace, as long as the condensate drain isn’t plugged Flu-like symptoms 3. Gas Smell from Furnace It’s normal for your heating system to let off a small amount of gas when it starts up, so you might get a gas smell from your furnace. But it’s not typical to be smelling natural gas or rotten eggs throughout your home on a daily basis. Cause: Gas Leak If your furnace smells like gas frequently, turn it off. If you know where your main gas supply valve is, turn that off too. Then contact the gas company and us for assistance. 4. Furnace Smells Like Sewer If your furnace smells like sewer, or rotten eggs, you’ll want to make sure you don’t have a gas leak. If you don’t, the issue could be with your sewer lines and not your furnace. This is especially true if it’s been extremely dry lately. Cause: Dry Sewer Trap or Sewer Leak If you suspect your sewer trap is dry, you can try putting some water down the floor drain in your basement. If that doesn’t solve the issue, you might have a sewer leak, so you’ll want to call a company that does sewer line repair. 5. Furnace Smells Musty If your furnace smells musty, mold and mildew has likely been growing in it for some time. Cause: Dirty Ductwork Your furnace works with air ducts to send warm air throughout your house. Mold can grow in the ductwork as time goes on, particularly if you live in a humid climate. You can eliminate the mold by having an HVAC technician do air duct cleaning. Trust Us with Your Furnace Repair Needs Trying to fix your heating and cooling system by yourself is hard.

Product marketing encompasses all of the various tasks related to explaining a product (or set of products) to the market of existing and potential customers. If this sounds vague, it is. Not only are there a wide array of different functions that traditionally fall under the product marketing umbrella, the product marketing role takes on very different forms depending on the stage of the company. Product marketing functions In most marketing organizations, you can expect the following functions to fall under product marketing. Positioning and messaging Fundamentally, positioning and messaging describes the way a company talks about their products to the public. The way a company describes itself affects the way potential customers think about the company, how the product helps them, and how it differs from competitors. This includes: naming products and features codifying how users and customers should think about products and features determining the existing categories of products and in which (if any) the company’s product belongs writing copy for the marketing website, product UI, and other collateral These functions need to be completed when a product is first released to the public but with every major update to it. Additionally, changes in the market require constant adjustments to be made. Product marketing must keep track of market changes like: shifts in customer preferences new or changing competitors technological advancements Messaging and positioning can also be impacted by internal changes in strategy. For instance, the release of a new product can shift how a company describes itself to the public. Additionally, the creation of new products may require clarification for how products can be used together. In many cases, product marketers will intentionally create flexibility within their messaging to allow for these changes. Example: When Amazon first went public in 1997, it described itself as ”the world’s largest bookstore.” Almost 25 years later, this description has evolved to a statement of Amazon’s core principles. Amazon no longer needs to explain what they do. Additionally, this positioning allows for the company’s continued expansion into almost every conceivable industry. In addition to the way a company describes itself as a whole, product marketers must also consider how each feature and service should be thought of by potential customers. Website For many companies, their websites are the primary way potential customers form an understanding of what they do and what value they provide. As a result, product marketers are often responsible for the marketing website. ⚠️ Note A company’s website primarily educates potential customers about what the company does and how their products add value. However, websites can have other functions including facilitating online purchases (e-commerce), generating leads for a sales team (B2B), and more. In these cases, responsibility for website may be shared with other functions including growth marketing, demand generation, digital marketing, and more. While the design and construction of the site itself will be owned by other functions, product marketing sets the overall tone and direction for the site, determines pages that need to be added or modified, and will write the copy (the words) that a visitor sees. These responsibilities can occupy a large portion of a product marketing team’s time as the website needs to consistently reflect changes to positioning and messaging, communicate new features and products, and stay relevant to constantly-changing market conditions. Analyst relations Industry analysts are teams that research various elements of a market and publish their findings. These findings can help investors considering deploying capital into an industry and they can assist consumers considering making a purchase. Analysts can look very different depending on the industry they cover. For example, Gartner is one of the world’s largest analyst firms covering topics relevant to large enterprises. Companies can subscribe to their research to understand which vendors to buy from or invest in. By contrast, publications like CNET can serve a similar function for B2C and e-commerce vendors. In each case, product marketers engage directly with researchers to not only solicit coverage of their offerings, but attempt to influence the way the analysts discuss them. For example, whether an analyst describes a product as a new contender in an existing market or a first mover in a new category can be of significant strategic importance for how potential customers think about the company. Sales enablement Companies with both B2B and B2C models often employee sales teams to facilitate the consumption of their products. In these cases, salespeople must stay up-to-date with new products and features, understand shifting competitive offerings, and ensure they are using the most current messaging and positioning. Often, product marketing is tasked with the training programs that ensure sales teams are kept informed of these changes. Additionally, sales teams may require public-facing materials like presentations, information sheets, and pricing documents. Again, product marketing will frequently play a major role in the development, distribution, and maintenance of these resources.

Sleep is essential to your life, and getting plenty of sleep can set the tone for your whole day. Not getting enough sleep can also set the tone, but it typically makes for a much more complicated and irritable day. [td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””] Your mind and body need time to heal and recuperate from the comings and goings of the day. Just as you need a balanced diet, your body needs a balance of sleep. Take a moment to read through a brief summary, featuring a few ways in which you can promote your body to have a good night’s sleep. Put down your smartphone Your brain needs time to wind down before you go to bed, and playing on your smartphone isn’t a good way to achieve that goal. It’s best to set your devices down at least an hour before you fall asleep. The same hour should be respected as you wake up. When you sleep with fewer distractions, you sleep more sound. Don’t let the hustle and bustle of the digital realm cheat you of a good night’s sleep. Don’t drink caffeine close to bedtime For at least two hours before you are to lay down for sleep, you should cut yourself off from caffeine. It’s not uncommon for people to nurture a strong addiction to caffeine, but cutting back will help you sleep more comfortably throughout the night. Go to the restroom before sleeping If you have to pee in the middle of the night, your sleep is unnecessarily disrupted. You can easily rectify the situation with a little preventative maintenance. Go to the potty before you lay your head down, and you will likely not have the interruption of using the restroom at 3am every night. Invest in a great bed A good quality bed is a foundational aspect of great quality sleep. It’s worth the money you’ll spend to have a bed that makes you revel in your ability to reach dreamland. Do some research, and take your time finding a bed. You can find a great deal with enough patience. Add plants to the room Adding plants to your bedroom will promote healthy sleep. Plants are excellent natural air filters, and greenery is said to be a contributing factor to a vibrant dream life. Add two or three plants to your bedroom, and sleep in a happier place. Take melatonin to sleep more sound Melatonin is a completely natural promoter of sleep, and it’s not a dangerous way to boost your snooze. Take melatonin as a part of your nighttime regimen, and you’ll catch a few more zzz’s along your journey. Drink hot chamomile tea Chamomile tea is another way to naturally promote quality. The only time chamomile tea is a bad idea is if you have a specific allergy or you are pregnant. Chamomile can cause expectant mothers to lose the baby, so stay away from this relaxing drink when you’re growing a new life. neOadviser [td_block_11 category_id=”3″ limit=”1″ td_filter_default_txt=”” tdc_css=””][td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_3″ tdc_css=””] HealthLifeStyle Posted in Health, Lifestyle, Pop News • No Comments on Tips To Help You Get A Good Night’s Sleep Endrit Baci My name Is ENDRIT!

It has also led employees to think deeply about their career journeys. In this context, the technology that supports all the business stakeholders is changing. In an exclusive conversation with People Matters, Deepa Param Singhal, Vice President, HCM, Oracle Asia Pacific, talks about ths shifts in skills and the AI based technology infrastructure that is helping businesses to accelerate growth. 1. Over the past year, businesses has to refocus their priorities on building efficiencies and a lean workforce, and to automate whatever can be. This is leading to a mismatch in skills and jobs. How are you seeing this shift and how can companies help employees prepare their skill sets for a hybrid future? The skills gap varies greatly depending on the company and industry. Certainly, in high-tech fields, there is a great rate of change, requiring workers to reskill and upskill regularly. However, it is worth noting that the the way we work has changed drastically in last few years and technology is rapidly evolving workplace and workforce. The pandemic has affected and, to some extent, transformed all corporate operations, focusing on both customer and employee satisfaction. Furthermore, the life-span of skills is diminishing every day which signifies that skills that are currently in trend or we have learnt today might not be relevant in the coming year. Fundamentally, a difference between the skills required on the job and the actual skills possessed by the employees is evidently “Skills gap” and this gap is increasing bit-by-bit. Skills gap that has been a source of concern for organizations for many years has been aggravated by pandemic-induced disruptions. Gartner estimates that 58% of workers need new skills to do their current jobs and its getting difficult for HR leaders to quickly find and develop talent with the demand of skills. There is a growing recognition that skill is a critical variable in determining how effective an organization will be in the future. In this regard, the risk of loosing the best talent is as difficult as loosing a good customer. Organizations must make sure that they have proper capabilities embedded by new-age technologies to adapt to the new interlinked model of automation and human interaction through taking proactive steps to ensure constant learning and reskilling of their employees with the relevant skillset. 2. The pandemic has also taught us that building resilience and agility will be key components of the skilling strategies. How can HR teams best enable these skills using technology? HR processes are at the core of building resilience and agility in businesses. After all, an agile business cannot exist without an agile workforce. The greatest challenge for businesses currently is the pace of change and this has been observed across sectors. Technological dynamism requires the development of new skills every day, and businesses struggle to have an accurate understanding of all the skills within their organization without a mechanism to collect and track this constantly evolving data. The skills employees have and need today are constantly changing, therefore, HR leaders must understand the skills that are already existing, what is required, where is the skills gap, and accordingly connect individuals & provide learning and job opportunities to guarantee that the organization's end-to-end personnel supply chain meets its demands. Cloud solutions that have been designed to bridge skills gap can provides HR teams and business leaders a direction with the data they need to ensure they have qualified people now and in the future by offering a comprehensive view of their workforce competencies. Using artificial intelligence to leverage the ever-increasing amount of available data can provide customised, role-based, and competency-based learning and performance assistance, in real-time at scale throughout the business. 3. Oracle has recently announced its foray into SkillsTech. Could you talk about the challenges that the new product will help leaders solve? The skill gap in India continues to be a major impediment to the country's economic growth potential. There are simply a lot of pressures on businesses across the globe right now, particularly in India and with the second wave that the nation just witnessed. Individuals are being challenged to present themselves with the correct opportunities, and companies are just wanting to ensure that they understand the capabilities they are bringing into their organization to achieve the agility that they require. Furthermore, with the regular introduction of new technologies, the skill gap in India is widening and has become one of the biggest difficulties for businesses to manage. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), India will have a 29 million skill deficit by 2030. To address the growing challenge, Oracle has built AI-powered Dynamic Skills, a comprehensive AI-driven solution that keeps an up-to-date database of skills data within the company, including job titles, employee capabilities, experience, and skill strength. Essentially, imagine a solution that integrates all the talent managing process ranging from hiring relevant professionals to keeping track of all employees and their growth to enable learning among existing employees to keep up with the skills demand. The basic features include skills inference, taxonomy development, and tagging skills to profiles, jobs, and other talent programs. With the Cloud solution, a new global inventory can be put in place in organizations, specifically adapted to the unique language of the firm. This would not only help firms identify what particular skills a candidate brings as an employee but also help the existing employees to build their career profiles. Essentially, it can be used to connect people, learning, and occupations that are relevant to the skills as they change dynamically. Also, one of the most challenging tasks is finding the right talent. One way we aid with Dynamic Skills is by enriching candidate profiles during the job process so that they may better match with the opportunities that are available and posted by the firm. Hence, it assists both individuals and firms by integrating all the processes thus fostering career growth, planning more efficiently, making better recruits, and developing a highly competent team. 4. We’re seeing learning and development become even more critical in the employer value proposition. How can it unlock talent attraction as well as drive retention? The Employee Value Proposition has evolved dramatically over the past couple of years. Its important for employers to think that now they can do more to create a culture of continuous learning and to identify and provide the opportunities to acquire digital skills In the modern-day, EVP is an ecosystem of support, recognition, and values that a company provides to employees for them to reach their full potential at work. Attracting and maintaining top people is strongly tied to providing enough learning and development opportunities for employees to maintain a relevant skillset. Therefore, organizations must strive to make it convenient for employees to track their progress toward career objectives and take action to advance their professional development. This not only assists firms in retaining great individuals but also saves costs on further recruitment and training. This equates to a sizable sum, as many company resources are invested in educating and training new candidates. Every profession, every activity, regardless of the nature of the work, requires some type of skills, and they vary and alter very significantly, more so in certain industries than others. Therefore, employee reskilling and upskilling are critical for them to attain their full potential. These are things that were not previously conceivable, but with technology, we can now basically follow the skills across the world and maintain our inventories current without having to manually manage it. 5. What is your one advice to CHROs and business leaders on building a learning centred workplace culture? Diversity, equity, and inclusion are three concepts that CHROs, HR and business leaders may not consider when it comes to talent development. However, if they start pivoting and truly embracing skills-based talent management approach and People, Performance & productivity based approach. This will ensure they have the right talent both now and in the future and will provide a comprehensive view of the skills within their workforce. Also, at the same time they will be able to manage performance and productivity more useful for their people this year.They will see enormous improvements in future-proffing their workforce and will accelerate immediate results. A strategy that is purely based on skills is a more equitable approach to managing your workforce and hiring people into your organization. Therefore, my piece of advice to CHROs and business leaders on building a learning-centered workplace would be to engage in a skills-based learning approach. When CHROs approach HR operations from a skills-based perspective, they can eliminate a lot of bias from the process. Also, this skill-based approach is not only limited to recruiting but also include internal mobility and career development for existing employees, so they are constantly encouraged to upskill themselves. One of the reasons we are so excited to make this investment is that it will on emphasis back to skills. When it comes to career mobility and hiring, the focus is on skills and qualifications for opportunities, as opposed to more prejudiced approaches.

How did the love team of Belle Mariano and Donny Pangilinan start? Here are things you should know about DonBelle, the fast-rising love team of ABS-CBN. PHOTO/S: He's Into Her / @donny on Instagram DonBelle is gearing up to be showbiz's next big thing. The love team of Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano was launched by ABS-CBN in the 10-episode youth-oriented series He's Into Her, amid the ongoing pandemic and the network's franchise woes. Aired from May to July 2021, He's Into Her trended on social media and even ranked as the most-watched TV show on iWant TFC, the streaming plaform of ABS-CBN. More recently, the youth-oriented series earned a nomination at the 2021 Venice TV Award for the Cross Platform Programming category. It also won the national award for the Best Original Program category at the Asian Academy Creative Awards 2021. With the second season of He's Into Her in the works, ABS-CBN is grooming DonBelle to become one of the top love teams of the new generation. PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) gives you what you need to know about Donny, Belle, and their fast-rising love team. Continue reading below ↓ PHOTO: @donny on Instagram 1. Belle Mariano had to audition while Donny Pangilinan was handpicked for He’s Into Her. This was what Belle and Donny shared in their interview with Metro.Style in July 2021. According to Donny, he was just asked to show up for a go-see for a show, which turned out to be He’s Into Her, a TV adaptation of Maxinejiji’s popular Wattpad book series. He was cast as Deib, the basketball varsity captain. But for Belle, she had to audition for an unnamed show and attend three go-sees. Belle recalled, “Nalaman ko lang na it was for He's Into Her sa third go-see. And then, I found out na ako pala ang gaganap kay Max sa room test na lang! It was bizarre, it was surreal.” PHOTO: He's Into Her (ABS-CBN) Continue reading below ↓ Belle played Max, the spunky newcomer in Benison International School. She was constantly bullied by Deib, who eventually started falling for her. He's Into Her was announced in 2019, but production was postponed due to the pandemic. The show finally aired on May 28, 2021 on iWant TFC and May 30, 2021 on free TV. PHOTO: He's Into Her (ABS-CBN) Continue reading below ↓ 2. They were born in the same hospital. This interesting fact was revealed when Donny and Belle did a video called “Web’s Most-Searched” for Star Cinema’s YouTube channel. In the video, they answered the most-searched questions about them. One question was “Where was Donny Pangilinan born?” Donny answered, “Quezon City, St. Luke's.” Belle reacted, “Oh, same tayo.” Donny Pangilinan's childhood photo PHOTO: Donny Pangilinan Continue reading below ↓ Donny said in amazement, “Are you serious? You were born, there too?” Not only do they have the same birthplace, both Donny and Belle were also born on the 10th of the month. Belle Mariano's childhood photo PHOTO: Belle Mariano Donny’s birthday is February 10, 1998, while Belle was born on June 10, 2002. Continue reading below ↓ The DonBelle fans have one word for these coincidences: “destiny.” 3. Donny and Belle are both fans of Ben&Ben even before their collab happened. Donny and Belle actually revealed this in separate interviews, but the DonBelle fans were quick to point out their similar taste in music! When Donny was asked about OPM during his interview with ABS-CBN News, he was heard saying, “Probably, I love Ben&Ben, they’re amazing.” Meanwhile, a DonBelle fan tweeted Ben&Ben a request to see DonBelle in their music video. Miguel, the other half of Ben&Ben’s twin vocalists, said that he is game. When a fan asked Belle during a livestream if she was open to a collaboration with Ben&Ben, she revealed: “Sure! Fan po ako, e. As in uma-attend po ako ng gigs nila.” Indeed, the collab happened when DonBelle appeared in Ben&Ben’s music video for “Upuan.” The ultimate kilig moment for the fans was when Donny himself talked about Belle being a fan of Ben&Ben! Continue reading below ↓ He said about Belle and their Ben&Ben collab in a Kumu interview, “Like number 1 fan siya niyan so the fact that she’s collaborating with them too, yeah. Dream come true for sure.” DonBelle in Upuan music video PHOTO: Ben&Ben music video 4. Belle started showbiz four years before Donny did. Continue reading below ↓ Belle may be four years younger than Donny, but she started her showbiz career earlier. She started her career in 2012 as a child actress via Princess and I, a teleserye starring Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla. She appeared in its first few episodes as the younger version of Mikay's (Kathryn) elder sister. Belle's first major TV appearance was in the prime-time series Lorenzo's Time, where she played the daughter of Carmina Villarroel. Belle continued to appear in teleseryes until she entered her teenage years.

Meanwhile, Donny first appeared on TV in 2016 as a guest in Magandang Buhay. The son of actress Maricel Laxa and businessman Anthony Pangilinan was then 18. Donny caught the attention of teenage girls because of his good looks and dancing skills. Eventually, he would show interest in joining showbiz. In 2018, Donny was launched by Star Magic as part of its 2018 Star Magic Circle, along with Tony Labrusca, Markus Paterson, and Charlie Dizon. Donny Pangilinan during 2018 Star Magic Circle launch.

He said in a Rated K interview, "I'm in basketball. I got the coach's award, so nakakapagod po iyong high school ko kasi ang dami kong ginagawa!" Another interesting fact is that He's Into Her was actually shot at Brent International School, the school where Donny graduated from! Donny Pangilinan used to play basketball in High School. PHOTO: @donny on Instagram Continue reading below ↓ If Donny excels in basketball, Belle also has her own sport: volleyball. In fact, Belle did a volleyball tutorial for her Spotlight video with Star Magic, which showed how skilled she is in the sport. Belle Mariano is a player of volleyball.

He also expressed his frustrations at the way 'people, feelings and life itself' have been forgotten, insisting he was rebuked for challenging these issues. 4 Zinedine Zidane penned an open letter to Real Madrid fans explaining his departureCredit: EPA 4 Zidane's letter appears in the newspaper AS The Frenchman, 48, penned the lengthy message to supporters explaining his shock departure after a second spell of more than two years in charge. He handed in his resignation on Thursday after reports broke on Wednesday evening following the end of a trophy-less season at the Bernabeu. It was the first campaign without any silverware for Los Blancos since 2009-10 with exits to Alcoyano in the Copa del Rey and Chelsea in the Champions League. Rivals Atletico Madrid pipped them to the LaLiga title by two points. Ex-Inter boss Antonio Conte is the No1 target to replace the former midfielder while Raul, Mauricio Pochettino and Xabi Alonso are also shortlisted. Zidane is understood not to want to take a break from football and could therefore be involved in the managerial merry-go-round this summer as he eyes an immediate return. But before taking on any new role, he was desperate to give his version of events that led to his exit. Published by AS, below is the open letter in full...

I’ve always felt that there was something special between us. I’ve had the enormous honour of being a player and the coach of the greatest club ever, but above all I’m just another Madrid fan. For all these reasons I wanted to write this letter, to say goodbye to you and explain my decision to leave the coaching job. When, in March 2019, I accepted the offer to return to Madrid after a break of eight months it was, of course, because President Florentino Pérez asked me, but also because all of you asked me every day to do so. When I met any of you in the street I felt your support and the desire to see me with the team again. Because I share the values of Real Madrid; this club belongs to its members, its fans and the entire world. I’ve tried to follow these values in everything I have done, and I’ve tried to be an example. Being at Madrid for 20 years is the most beautiful thing that’s happened to me in my life and I know I owe that entirely to the fact Florentino Pérez backed me in 2001, he fought to get me, to bring me here when some people were against it. I say it from the heart when I say that I will always be grateful to the ‘presi’ for that. Always. I’m not jumping overboard, nor am I tired of coaching... I’m leaving because I feel the club no longer has the faith in me I need, nor the support to build something Zinedine Zidane I have now decided to leave and I want to properly explain the reasons. I’m going, but I’m not jumping overboard, nor am I tired of coaching. In May 2018 I left because after two and a half years, with so many victories and so many trophies, I felt the team needed a new approach to stay at the very highest level. Right now, things are different. I’m leaving because I feel the club no longer has the faith in me I need, nor the support to build something in the medium or long term. I understand football and I know the demands of a club like Real Madrid. I know when you don’t win, you have to leave. But with this a very important thing has been forgotten, everything I built day-to-day has been forgotten, what I brought to my relationships with the players, with the 150 people who work with and around the team. I’m a natural-born winner and I was here to win trophies, but even more important than this are the people, their feelings, life itself and I have the sensation these things have not been taken into account, that there has been a failure to understand that these things also keep the dynamics of a great club going. To some extent I have even been rebuked for it. I want there to be respect for what we have achieved together. I would have liked my relationship with the club and the president over the past few months to have been a little different to that of other coaches. I wasn’t asking for privileges, of course not, just a little more recollection. These days the life of a coach in the dugout at a big club is two seasons, little more. For it to last longer the human relationships are essential, they are more important than money, more important than fame, more important than everything. They need to be nurtured. 4 Zidane led Los Blancos to the LaLiga title in 2019-20 but they fell two points short of Atletico this termCredit: Reuters 4 The Frenchman credited his players for their commitment to him during his time in chargeCredit: Reuters That’s why it hurt me so much when I read in the press, after a defeat, that I would be sacked if I didn’t win the next game. It hurt me and the whole team because these deliberately leaked messages to the media negatively influenced the squad, they created doubts and misunderstandings. Luckily I had these amazing lads who were with me to the death. When things turned ugly they saved me with magnificent victories. Because they believed in me and knew I believed in them. Of course I’m not the best coach in the world, but I’m able to give everyone, whether it’s a player, a member of the coaching staff or any employee, the strength and confidence they need in their job. I know perfectly well what a team needs. Over these 20 years at Madrid I’ve learnt that you, the fans, want to win, of course, but above all you want us to give our all: the coach, the staff, the employees and of course the players. And I can assure you we’ve given 100 per cent of ourselves to this club. I’d like to take this opportunity to send a message to the journalists. I’ve given hundreds of press conferences and unfortunately we have spoken very little of football, though I know that you love football, this sport that brings us together. However, and without any desire to criticise or lecture, I would have liked the questions not to have always been about controversy, that we might have talked more often about the game and above all the players, who are and always will be the most important thing in this sport. Let’s not forget about football, let’s care for it. Dear Madrid fans, I will always be one of you. Hala Madrid!

Priority Setting when Admitting Patients to the ICU During the COVID-19 CrisisOne of the challenges faced by hospitals during the coronavirus pandemic are potential resource shortages in intensive care units. In times of scarcity, patient prioritization based on non-medical considerations might be necessary. In the course "Stakeholder Preference Elicitation and Decision Support" four students, Stephanie Schouten, Merle Gijsbers, Wietske Trompert and Iris Keizer took it upon themselves to look at the public perspective on the relevance of non-medical considerations in priority setting when admitting patients to the ICU in times of crisis. In the course, they developed a health preference instrument using discrete choice experiments. The six characteristics of the patient that were included were patient age, profession, whether or not the patient was a guardian to other people, risk-conscious behavior on a societal level (wearing masks, limiting contacts with others), health-conscious behavior (living healthy), and expected ICU length of stay.

Your operating system (OS) is the software that supports the basic functions of your computer. This helps control any applications and controls within the system; it could be be considered to be the skeleton of your computer. As time passes, however, OS updates need to be implemented. This is due to changing programs and software as a result, not being as compatible over time. When is the best time for an OS update? This is a question answered very differently depending on the person. Keep in mind that OS updates are generally unavoidable, and at some point will need to be carried out due to advancements in software and technology. Below are some factors to consider when making that decision. Need: Is this update really needed? Someone who simply browses the web won’t utilize as much of the OS as a code intensive web developer. Do you need to use Visual Studio, or are you wanting to use Final Cut Pro which only works on a Mac’s OS? Generally, when an OS is being updated it’s important to make sure your hardware is properly prepared to adjust to that update, otherwise it could just end up bricking your system. It would be wise to create a list of the programs you currently use , as well as what you may need further down the line. Security: A rule of thumb in IT is that after five years an OS won’t receive further notifications to make security improvements. This can lead to holes in your OS if not checked on, and will leave your hardware vulnerable to hackers and viruses. Programs can also lose support and compatibility over time without any notification to the user, so keep that in mind when using them as well. Cost: Cost comes into play in that, for example, updating to Windows 10 can cost you around 100$, where Windows 7 is free in certain areas. Generally, Mac updates are much cheaper or free and contain minimal changes, so bear this in mind if you are trying to decide between the two Operating Systems. Linux is open source and has historically always been free, but can have a steep learning curve associated with it. Customization: Whenever anything is updated, certain applications can be broken and other custom interfaces could potentially be nullified. Functionality can be affected, so make sure you carry out the proper research into the version you want to use – this can save you the headache of potentially having to learn a completely new interface. An example of this would be Windows 8 as compared to Windows 7, with many users complaining about the very different interface. It’s usually safe to not upgrade immediately to the new OS update, but rather read user reviews first since initial launches have bugs and multiple patches that need to be implemented rapidly after the first couple months. Time: How long will the OS update take for you? If the hardware is old, going to a newer version could take a significant amount of time to upgrade to due to your computer’s CPU and hard drive limitations. It’s always recommended to use a solid state drive instead of a hard disk drive due to faster read and write speeds used for the installation of the OS and necessary drivers. Doing the research for which version to use can also take some time, so time management can play a critical role here. Data: Do you need your data from your old system? If so, how will it transfer to the new OS? This can range from software to simple documents. It’s wise to install an OS on a brand new hard drive instead of one already containing files in order to make it a clean and fast install. More complex applications should be tested if possible on an already existing installation of the OS to see if they would work on the upgrade.

How mindfulness and other strategies can help you and your children calm anxiety, manage emotions and stay connected through the pandemic. During these times of high stress and uncertainty, our worries can overwhelm us, and it can be hard to manage emotions. Things are especially confusing with businesses reopening, while COVID-19 cases are still on the rise. Running errands can feel like a big event that leaves our minds racing with questions, concerns, and fears, and that constant stream of thoughts can continue to distract us throughout the day. The simple fact that our minds are constantly racing with concerns is in itself exhausting because it puts us in a mild state of alert as we try to figure out the right thing to do. The mental back and forth, the doubts, the questioning, the pull to protect ourselves and our communities while also trying to meet our own needs and the needs of our children wears us out over time. Now imagine being a child. The world has changed, everything about their daily life and routine is different, and they haven’t seen their friends in months. Children are still developing the capacity to understand, identify, and communicate their needs and feelings. They notice the adults in their lives are a little more stressed, they notice that going out in the world feels much more dangerous. They notice it all. It is normal for children to feel scared or uncertain right now, but as their guides, we want to help them become aware of their feelings and take appropriate precautions. However, kids may need some extra support learning to regulate themselves and modulate their behaviors. Here is my advice on how parents can help their kids calm anxiety and manage emotions through Covid-19: Signs of Anxiety and Other Behavioral Changes in Children (especially age 10 and under) The first step in helping your child is becoming more aware of any changes in their behavior. Anxiety in children, for example, presents differently than it does in adults, so here is what to look out for: More irritable or angry Getting frustrated more quickly Exhibiting less motivation to engage in activities they previously enjoyed Less interest in exploring new activities and games Increased tantrums or outbursts Higher dependence on devices like phone and tablets Isolating or needing interaction from you every five minutes Difficulty focusing and learning Changes in sleep patterns, eating habits, or bathroom use Repetitive expression of worry or negative thoughts, through statements or questions Somatic symptoms (tummy or headaches, etc.) In my book, What a Feeling! The ABCs of Emotions, you will find 26 short and engaging examples of emotions to help your child understand and identify new feelings. Each page is a conversation starter, which includes associated bodily sensations and related words. It can oftentimes be helpful to identify an emotion by starting with the way it feels in your body. You may have noticed that some kids have a limited vocabulary when it comes to describing and expressing their emotions. They may use the word “angry,” but they really feel frustrated, jealous, rejected or inadequate. Sometimes they need help differentiating between these terms. If you are concerned about your child’s anxiety, try my simple ABC approach attuning to your child’s emotional needs: A: Attune. if you notice something, pay close attention, be aware of new patterns or changes. B: Break the silence. Tell your child about your observation, non-judgmentally. Be curious. C: Care for their needs. Make necessary changes to support your child, listen, validate, instill confidence that you hear them and can handle their feelings. Emotions for Kids and How to Help There are many things parents can do to increase their child’s resilience and decrease the chances that they will develop mental health problems down the road due to the impact of Covid-19. Here are a few ways that you can help your child manage their anxiety and regulate their emotions: 1. Be open and honest, but use language and concepts that you know your children are ready for. If we don’t give kids accurate information, they will fill in the gaps with their own imagination or concepts taken out of context, which can sometimes be much scarier than the actual truth. Let them ask questions, even repetitively. Then, answer them openly, honestly, appropriately, with patience and compassion, every time. They may ask about dying, they may ask what the virus does to your body, they may ask if it is okay to go back to school again, they may ask if they can see friends, they may ask when will it all be over. Over and over again. Answer their questions, but if you have already answered them, or explained it several times, it’s okay to help them start to reason through the answer on their own by asking them reflective questions like, “What do you remember about the last conversation we had?”, and, “Do you remember some of the ways we are keeping you and our family safe?” If we encourage them to think through how to access some of the answers that they already know, it will be easier for them to access that information when they start to feel anxious or scared. 2. Validate your own feelings and your childrens’ feelings. It’s okay to tell your kids that you are stressed, scared, anxious, or worried too. They probably have already noticed it anyways. This is an opportunity to tell them how you feel and model for them how to regulate yourself and work through difficult emotions. Remember, they are learning from you. When your children express how they are feeling, validate it. Don’t try to cheer them up, explain why they should be happy or grateful, or change the subject. 3. Model empathy Listen and show them that you can handle their feelings. If appropriate, let them know all the ways you are working to keep them safe. It’s always okay to ask, “What can I do to support you?” Maybe they just need a hug and for someone to listen to them. Maybe they need some reassurance that they are not in danger or that life will eventually go back to the way it was (or at least closer than the way it is now). Kids are very attuned to their parents’ emotions, they often filter how much they share based on how parents react to their feelings. If when your child expresses fear it makes you cry or anxious, they may be hesitant to share their fears with you in the future. Show your kids that you can handle their feelings. Instill an honest amount of confidence. Empathize with them. 4. Try mindfulness. I know it sounds cliche, but mindfulness is scientifically proven to “improve the mental, emotional, social and physical health and well-being of young people who take part.” According to MindfulnessinSchools.org, “it can help reduce stress, anxiety, reactivity and bad behavior, improve sleep and self-­esteem, and bring about greater calmness, relaxation, the ability to manage behavior and emotions, self-­awareness and empathy.” The good news is practicing mindfulness is easier than it sounds. In its most basic sense, mindfulness means intentionally focusing your awareness on the present moment, whenever you can remember to do so. For example, tuning in to your own internal processes and acknowledging your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. You can spend as little as a few minutes per day focusing your attention inward and teaching your children how to do it as well. Try this: sit together and do a body scan meditation, starting with calling mental attention to your feet and moving up to your head while scanning for sensations, thoughts, and feelings. Notice them without judgement. (For more ideas for Mindfulness activities with kids, check out this article). 4. Play. Kids (and adults) need a variety of stimulation to promote well-rounded development. Usually, kids get that stimulation through school, extra-curriculars, playing with friends, spending time with other adults or family members, and just by being in different kinds of environments with different people. Right now, most of those sources of stimulation are unavailable. I know that puts a lot of pressure on parents to fill in these gaps, and it would be impossible to fully make up for the lack of access to all the other environments. However, if you notice that your child is spending all day watching TV or playing video games, they are most likely not getting enough variety in their sources of stimulation. We don’t want to make rules (like no screen time) because, at this point, your child may not know many other ways to occupy themselves while cooped up at home. Considering the times we are currently living in, it is fair to say that most of us are doing our best. Try not to be too hard on yourself. Practice compassion and empathy, with yourself and your family. By engaging in some of these activities, and attuning to your and your child’s needs, even for short periods of time, you can make a big impact on your family’s emotional and mental health. Pin it!

This is surreal Reply Sherrie De says: August 18, 2013 at 11:21 pm I am sooo thrilled about the film! I fell in love with all the characters from the start. Especially Daniel and Cam! ever since I started the series I had always had Alex Pettyfer as the image of Daniel. Not only was Alex gorgeous but I could imagine Daniel having a sexy voice like Alex’s. Jeremy Irvine doesn’t seem as sleekly masculine as Daniel sounds but we shall see how he plays out. I am most looking forward to who they cast for Cam. If anything he must be cast by an undiscovered talent. I am definitely looking forward to the trips that Luce takes back in time to witness her and Daniels love firsthand. Reply Main Mama says: August 20, 2013 at 12:04 am I am SOOO excited!!

The moments I heard this was going to be turned into a movie I started to flip out. I just love these books they are so amazing and I just can’t wait to see it on the big screen soon. What I’m looking forward to in this movie is everything from the moment Daniel and Luce meets and gets together. I just love the whole story between them two, and how they fight to be together. I’ve loved all the books from the begging to the end but what’s been driving me crazy though is there going to be a next book after Rapture? Becauae the series just ends right there after they lose there memories because they chose love over God. Where they are at a party and Daniel joins Luce and he said to her like I feel like I’ve known you from somewhere then that was the end. I’m re-reading the books, I’m way to excited about this being turned into a movie and I really can’t wait till I hear about the release date. 🙂 Reply Jacomi says: September 4, 2013 at 8:46 am Two songs I’ve always had in mind for the movie is Letters from the Sky by Civil Twilight and Crossfire by Brandon Flowers….

You should know what ans lookup and domain name IP address search are. A DNS server is responsible for providing the Internet users with Internet addresses that they can use to visit specific web sites. When a domain name or IP address is typed into an Internet browser, the system searches an index of servers which are linked to the domain or IP address specified by the user. If the server cannot be found, the website will not be displayed. nslookup (dns) is an optional feature of the standard query language (QML). It enables a user to find a particular domain name system from a database that contains nearly all the domain name systems that are in the World Wide Web. This database is maintained by different organizations such as ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) and it updates its records on regular basis. Updates are sent to the clients by email. There are many advantages of using the DNS servers maintained by the ICANN organization. The users get their IP address from the DNS server which translates it to a meaningful domain name before it is sent to the receiver's computer. Using hnserr, the users can check for their present location with ease and comfort. An alternative to using the standard DNS system is the two-step procedure of using the two-step application programmable interface or APRH (arp) and the domain name system (DNSP). The advantage of using the APRH is that a domain name can be entered while still being checked. The two-step procedure of using the DNS server is similar to the standard DNS system wherein the domain name is entered before it gets checked. The major difference is that in case of the two-step procedure, it gets checked twice making the process more secure. Currently, there are various companies offering eInf HRung dns solution. These companies help users obtain their IP address and they also offer additional features such as virtual phone numbers, user names, subnet addresses, etc. When it comes to virtual phone numbers, a user can assign any phone number to his or her account. Similarly, a user can register a domain name which has a telephone number attached to it. The company offers solutions that include DNS as well as e-mail services. Another advantage offered by the company is the support of hardware such as network attached storage (NAS). It also provides support for Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes. Users can have their own e-mail addresses through the e-mail services. Users can test this service by accessing the web interface of the website and logging into the website. From there, users will be able to access the website and check the different features that are offered by the e-mail hosting service. The e-mail provider can provide users with the option to test the e-mail service. Users can access the web-based interface and check the different options available to them. If a user is not satisfied with the different features and the e-mail interface of the company website, he or she has the option of accessing the virtual private server (VPS) provided by the company which is not only cheaper than the other options, but also gives the user more security than the other two options. VPSs can provide a lot of advantages to people. In addition, the e-mail service of the domain name can be enhanced using IP Masquerade technology. With this service, messages will be encrypted before being sent from one IP address to another. With this, an IP Masquerade allows for authentication or security between different computers on the network. There are other benefits that IP Masquerade offers and all of these are explained in detail in the website which provides information on how domain name IP-DNS can be used for enhancing the service provided by e-mail.

Japanese researchers monitoring the activity of giant jellyfish in Chinese waters are warning of a potentially historic and catastrophic invasion this year. Marine surveys conducted in late June have revealed alarming numbers of Nomura's jellyfish -- massive creatures that grow up to 2 meters (6 ft 7 in) in diameter and weigh as much as to 220 kilograms (about 450 lbs) -- lurking in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea. The researchers warn that ocean currents may bring swarms of the monster jellies to Japan, which has been plagued by similar invasions in recent years. Nomura's jellyfish, 2007 (Photo: Sankei) Based on what they have seen so far, the researchers warn this year's onslaught of Nomura's jellyfish (Nemopilema nomurai, or Echizen kurage in Japanese) could deliver a massive blow to Japan's fishing industry, rivaling even the devastating 2005 deluge that caused tens of billions of yen (hundreds of millions of dollars) in damage nationwide. The surveys are being conducted by a team led by Shinichi Ue, a professor of biological oceanography at Hiroshima University who also chairs a government research committee tasked with developing technology to predict and control jellyfish explosions. Ue has been monitoring the population density of Nomura's jellyfish in the southern Yellow Sea and northern East China Sea since 2006. Between June 20 and 24, 2009, Ue's team observed numerous specimens with umbrellas measuring 10 to 50 centimeters across, and they calculated an average distribution of 2.14 jellyfish per 100 square meters. This figure is more than 200 times higher than the 0.01 jellyfish per 100 square meters observed in the same region in 2008. It is also nearly triple the 0.77 jellyfish per 100 square meters observed in 2007, when the fishing industry in the Sea of Japan suffered widespread damage. Nomura's jellyfish, 2007 (Photo: Sankei) To make matters worse, this year's swarms appear to be taking a more direct and southerly route to Japan, unlike in 2007 when the jellyfish appeared to take a more northerly route, approaching the Sea of Japan coast from the direction of Korea. According to the researchers, the ocean currents could bring unprecedented numbers of Nomura's jellyfish to Japan's Pacific coast, which typically sees far fewer of the monster blobs than the Sea of Japan coast. Nomura's jellyfish typically bloom in Chinese waters in spring, and they mature into adults as ocean currents slowly carry them north. By July, when the first swarms reach Tsushima (just north of the southern island of Kyushu), many jellyfish are as large as sumo wrestlers. At this size, it only takes about 5 or 10 of them to destroy a commercial fishing net. In addition to damaging nets, the giant jellyfish are blamed for killing other fish with their venom, lowering the quality and quantity of catches, increasing the risk of capsizing trawlers, and stinging fishermen. In 2005, the fishing industry reported over 100,000 cases of jellyfish-related damage nationwide. At the peak of the invasion that year, an estimated 300 to 500 million monster jellyfish passed through the Tsushima Strait into the Sea of Japan each day. [Source: Asahi] 40 Comments Animal Anomaly Jellyfish 40 Comments Ryan 2009.07.02 ::: 16:23 # I've heard about this invasion many times as it has been reported quite extensively, here in the UK. It looks like there is nothing that can be done to arrest the jellyfish, so God only knows what will happen when they 'attack'.. [Reply] mike 2009.07.02 ::: 18:27 # Why don't they just eat them & leave the Dolphins & Whales alone? [Reply] Seth 2009.07.03 ::: 13:11 # Um, they *do* eat them.

I might be able to help you in eliminating this modern plague. I realize there are as many as 500 million of these unfreindly creatures invading the Sea of Japan. My approach might at first sight sound strange but given my track record in related fields I strongly suggest yuou take my offer seriously. Since 40 years I am engaged in the field of subtle energies. I have developed about 800 natural remedies made from precious and semi precious stones in the Ayurvedic tradition as well as trace elements made from native minerals and ores. I have been able to treat many of themost difficult ailments. In 1994 I was decorated by the European Union for humanitarian work and received in 1997 the Grand Cross of the Belgian Order of Merit for inventions. So that you may see what I did concerning plants I attach a testimonial from a Garden Center.This shows you that I do not have to be present in a particular place to be able to assess the problem and find a suitable solution. I am sensitive and feel energies. At some time in the past I have been able to remove insects that were investing a wall of a Villa of a customer in Switzerland. I have also developed in the past frequencies to eliminate varoas on bees. However as the work involved was much bigger then the economic result for me saving a few beehives I had to discontinue this activity. Besides making remedies from gems and minerals and a few wild plants I can create most any frequency required and introduce this into water and even work on pictures at a distance. If you would like me to perform some tests on a small scale with the aim to eliminate the Nomura Jellyfish (Echizen jellyfish) please let me have the following data. Scientific name of the various varieties of Jellyfish you want to eliminate. A photograph taken from a few living specimens in each category while they are in an aquarium. I would then proceed to research and find the vibratory frequency of those respective species. Produce the opposite frequency in view to eliminate them. Work with the found frequency on the picture, with in my opinion a very likely solution to eliminate them quickly. Seeing the area is huge and the number of Jellyfish huge it would not be possible as with the plants to spray the area involved but i strongly feel I could handle this project in a different way. After obtaining satisfactory results on a small scale I would then work on arial or satelite pictures covering a larger area of the Sea of Japan if your government wants me to do this. I am currently in Germany where I will be involved in a project producing algae (Chlorella) with a new technology and where my appraoch will increase the production of Biomass as we are interested in transforming the Biomass into Biogas and fuel. I am looking forward to hearing from you by email and if you have photographs you can airmail them to me Dr Ivan U. Ghyssaert Postfach 2722 D-65017 WIESBADEN GERMANY Yours sincerely, Dr Ivan U.

Napoléon Bonaparte (15 August 1769 – 5 May 1821) was a French statesman and military leader who rose to prominence during the French Revolution and led several successful campaigns during the French Revolutionary Wars. He was Emperor of the French as Napoleon I from 1804 until 1814 and again briefly in 1815 during the Hundred Days. Napoleon dominated European and global affairs for more than a decade while leading France against a series of coalitions in the Napoleonic Wars. He won most of these wars and the vast majority of his battles, building a large empire that ruled over much of continental Europe before its final collapse in 1815. He is considered one of the greatest commanders in history, and his wars and campaigns are studied at military schools worldwide. Napoleon's political and cultural legacy has endured as one of the most celebrated and controversial leaders in human history. He was born Napoleone di Buonaparte in Corsica to a relatively modest Italian family from minor nobility. He was serving as an artillery officer in the French army when the French Revolution erupted in 1789. He rapidly rose through the ranks of the military, seizing the new opportunities presented by the Revolution and becoming a general at age 24. The French Directory eventually gave him command of the Army of Italy after he suppressed the 13 Vendémiaire revolt against the government from royalist insurgents. At age 26, he began his first military campaign against the Austrians and the Italian monarchs aligned with the Habsburgs—winning virtually every battle, conquering the Italian Peninsula in a year while establishing "sister republics" with local support, and becoming a war hero in France. In 1798, he led a military expedition to Egypt that served as a springboard to political power. He orchestrated a coup in November 1799 and became First Consul of the Republic. After the Peace of Amiens in 1802, Napoleon turned his attention to France's colonies. He sold Louisiana to the United States, and he attempted to restore slavery to the French Caribbean colonies. However, while he was successful in restoring slavery in the eastern Caribbean, Napoleon failed in his attempts to subdue Saint-Domingue, and the colony that France once proudly boasted of as the "Pearl of the Antilles" became independent as Haiti in 1804. Napoleon's ambition and public approval inspired him to go further, and he became the first Emperor of the French in 1804. Intractable differences with the British meant that the French were facing a Third Coalition by 1805. Napoleon shattered this coalition with decisive victories in the Ulm Campaign and a historic triumph over the Russian Empire and Austrian Empire at the Battle of Austerlitz which led to the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1806, the Fourth Coalition took up arms against him because Prussia became worried about growing French influence on the continent. Napoleon quickly defeated Prussia at the battles of Jena and Auerstedt, then marched his Grande Armée deep into Eastern Europe and annihilated the Russians in June 1807 at the Battle of Friedland. France then forced the defeated nations of the Fourth Coalition to sign the Treaties of Tilsit in July 1807, bringing an uneasy peace to the continent. Tilsit signified the high-water mark of the French Empire. In 1809, the Austrians and the British challenged the French again during the War of the Fifth Coalition, but Napoleon solidified his grip over Europe after triumphing at the Battle of Wagram in July. Napoleon then invaded the Iberian Peninsula, hoping to extend the Continental System and choke off British trade with the European mainland, and declared his brother Joseph Bonaparte the King of Spain in 1808. The Spanish and the Portuguese revolted with British support. The Peninsular War lasted six years, featured extensive guerrilla warfare, and ended in victory for the Allies against Napoleon. The Continental System caused recurring diplomatic conflicts between France and its client states, especially Russia. The Russians were unwilling to bear the economic consequences of reduced trade and routinely violated the Continental System, enticing Napoleon into another war. The French launched a major invasion of Russia in the summer of 1812. The campaign destroyed Russian cities, but did not yield the decisive victory Napoleon wanted. It resulted in the collapse of the Grande Armée and inspired a renewed push against Napoleon by his enemies. In 1813, Prussia and Austria joined Russian forces in the War of the Sixth Coalition against France. A lengthy military campaign culminated in a large Allied army defeating Napoleon at the Battle of Leipzig in October 1813, but his tactical victory at the minor Battle of Hanau allowed retreat onto French soil. The Allies then invaded France and captured Paris in the spring of 1814, forcing Napoleon to abdicate in April. He was exiled to the island of Elba off the coast of Tuscany, and the Bourbon dynasty was restored to power. Napoleon escaped from Elba in February 1815 and took control of France once again. The Allies responded by forming a Seventh Coalition which defeated him at the Battle of Waterloo in June. The British exiled him to the remote island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic, where he died six years later at the age of 51. Napoleon's influence on the modern world brought liberal reforms to the numerous territories that he conquered and controlled, such as the Low Countries, Switzerland, and large parts of modern Italy and Germany. He implemented fundamental liberal policies in France and throughout Western Europe. His Napoleonic Code has influenced the legal systems of more than 70 nations around the world. British historian Andrew Roberts states: "The ideas that underpin our modern world—meritocracy, equality before the law, property rights, religious toleration, modern secular education, sound finances, and so on—were championed, consolidated, codified and geographically extended by Napoleon. To them he added a rational and efficient local administration, an end to rural banditry, the encouragement of science and the arts, the abolition of feudalism and the greatest codification of laws since the fall of the Roman Empire".

Founded by Mobile's first Catholic bishop as a seminary in 1830, Spring Hill College is one of Alabama's oldest institutions of higher learning. From its inception the "college," or boarding school attached to the seminary, attracted a pan-American student body. However, most of its boarders were boys from prosperous families in Mobile, New Orleans, and Pensacola—most of whom were not Catholic. Spring Hill was the first college in the Deep South to desegregate, and it did so voluntarily in 1954. Today, it continues to boast of its diverse student body. In 1830, Bishop of Mobile Michael Portier purchased 300 acres of land from the city of Mobile and a landowner named William Robertson to establish the seminary and boarding school. The appealing site sat on a hill six miles west of Mobile and afforded panoramic views of the town and its harbor. Portier recruited two priests and four seminarians from France to staff the school. The bishop himself taught theology to the ecclesiastical students, who numbered six the first year. Michael Portier Portier originally intended the boarding school to provide students under 12 with an education in classical and modern languages, mathematics, history, belles lettres, and the sciences. He soon relaxed the age restriction, and the population mushroomed from roughly 30 students the first year to almost 130 by 1832, as parents sought a haven for their sons from the persistent threat of yellow fever. Initially, the bishop himself taught Greek at the school and, due to the lack of priests, pressed seminarians into service as teaching assistants or monitors. Difficulties staffing the school persisted until 1847, when Portier recruited French Jesuits from Lyon to take over. During the Civil War, the college rolls swelled with names like Semmes, Maury, Taylor, Beauregard, and Bullock, as high officers of the Confederacy tried to shelter their sons approaching draft age. Boys sent to Spring Hill were often separated from their families for the war's duration. Unrest among those who wanted to be part of the war effort was formidable, and eventually the college formed two military companies. Many Jesuit Fathers became chaplains for the Confederacy, and a recruiter tried to conscript all 40 of the Jesuit brothers at Spring Hill into the Confederate Army. However, College President Francis Gautrelet, S.J., dispatched an urgent message to the assistant secretary of war in Richmond, who granted a temporary reprieve of the brothers' conscription. Spring Hill College, 1918 In the lean years of postwar Reconstruction, Spring Hill recruited heavily among the sons of Central American and Cuban leaders. Many of them attended and introduced Latin American culture to the school's mostly American student body. When complaints mounted among English-speaking students that Spanish was challenging the dominance of English on campus, the Jesuits organized a Spanish–American league among the new arrivals, wherein each member pledged to speak only English, except at prescribed hours on Sunday and holidays, and to report members who broke the pledge. The league's rules were so well enforced that Hispanic students won most of the prizes in the English department that year, and the levied fines provided a luxurious end-of-year banquet for them and their American classmates. Fannie Motley Graduation Like other Jesuit colleges, Spring Hill followed a European model in which students began attending at age nine and studied subjects at both the secondary and collegiate levels. Three age groups comprised the student body: "minims," or boys aged nine to 12, who engaged in preparatory work; adolescents of high school age; and college students. Spring Hill housed the groups separately and provided them with separate recreation areas, or "yards." In the 1920s, the school ended admissions for the minim level and expanded the high school to four years to meet accreditation standards. The sons of Mobile's established families—Catholic or otherwise—attended Spring Hill High School and the college. The high school persisted until its closing in 1935. In 1932, the college launched an extension program with Saturday classes aimed at adults, and women were admitted as full-time students to the program for the first time. The first two women to graduate, in a separate commencement held at the end of summer in 1937, were Marie Fidelis Yeend and Genevieve Cordilia Jarvis. With the admission of females to the regular undergraduate program in 1952 came the hiring in 1953 of the first full-time female faculty, Ella Morris, a special lecturer in biology. In 1953, Betty Jo Stringer, the first traditional undergraduate female, received a B.S. degree in biology. Successive presidents of Spring Hill, Patrick Donnelly, S.J., and Andrew Smith, S.J., brought landmark changes to the college after World War II. Both men viewed racial segregation as an ethical and moral dilemma and, as early as 1949, sought incremental opportunities to open the college to black students. Finally, in September 1954, Smith presided over the enrollment of nine African Americans students to the college. On May 29, 1956, Fannie Motley became the first black graduate of a previously white college in Alabama. Spring Hill's successful incorporation of desegregation into its teaching mission was exemplified again on January 21, 1957, when white male residents of Mobile Hall, a dormitory, repulsed a raid by the Ku Klux Klan. Once alerted, students streamed from both ends of the building carrying whatever was handy and put the panicked Klansmen to flight. Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, S.J. For 10 years, Spring Hill was the only desegregated white college in a five-state swath of the Deep South. Like many denominational colleges, it boasted no national reputation and few graduates of national prominence. Nevertheless, the school earned the respect of Martin Luther King Jr., who mentioned the moral significance of Spring Hill's desegregation in his 1963 "Letter from Birmingham Jail": "I want to commend the Catholic leaders of Alabama for desegregating Spring Hill College several years ago." Decades after its quiet, historic desegregation, Spring Hill College still boasts a diverse student body and welcomes students from all faiths and backgrounds. The former seminary currently enrolls approximately 1,450 students. In addition to the offerings of a traditional four-year liberal-arts college, courses of study include master's programs in business, education, nursing, and theological studies.

Do you know how to keep your teeth healthy and cavity-free? Many people think that they do. Unfortunately, many myths surround tooth decay and cavities, causing patients to miss out on some great preventive options. Learning the facts about this common problem can help you keep your mouth healthier. Common myths include: 1. Sugar causes cavities. Sugar by itself is not to blame for cavities, but it does kick-start the tooth decay process by feeding the oral bacteria responsible for decay. Simple sugars and starchy foods, such as rice or potatoes, can both cause the bacteria to release acidic byproduct, which then erodes the enamel and decays your teeth. Acidic foods can contribute to and worsen the erosion process. 2. Only kids get cavities. This is the biggest myth of them all. In fact, people of all ages can get cavities. The cavity rate in children has actually dropped dramatically over the last two decades, while senior citizens have become more likely to have decay due to medications that dry out the mouth. 3. You will know when you have a cavity. If a tooth has become badly decayed, it may cause noticeable pain. Minor cavities can easily go unnoticed, though, which is why it is important to visit us every six months. We can diagnose and treat these little cavities to prevent them from becoming big, painful cavities that need root canal treatment. Tooth decay is highly preventable. A balanced diet, good dental habits and proper dental hygiene can go a long way towards keeping your smile healthy. Call us today to learn more or to schedule your next cleaning.

"Once a Royal Canadian, Always a Royal Canadian." This long held tenet of our Regiment has been clearly demonstrated by the honour and care shown by the Regiment when casualties of our war in Afghanistan have included not only soldiers badged into The RCR but also soldiers posted into regimental Battle Groups from other units and Branches of the CF. But this has not always been the case. There are, in fact, 39 officers, NCOs and soldiers of the First World War who served with The RCR in the field and later died while on the strength of other units. Within Volumes I and II of the regimental history, one finds the annexes comprising the casualty lists of each of the Regiment's periods of wartime service. At first glance they might appear to be comprehensive, but more recent research has found omissions in the lists for the First and Second World Wars and for Korea. It also becomes apparent with closer examination that the original published lists, though incomplete probably due mostly to the difficulties of compiling research in a pre-digital age, also were limited to only those Royal Canadians who died while serving with the applicable overseas unit. Oddly, this meant that the Regiment, for example, did not include Brigadier John Kelburne Lawson as one of our fallen in the 1966 volume after he died commanding Canadian troops in Hong Kong. Brigadier Lawson had begun his service with The RCR in 1923, having previously served during the Great War during which he was awarded the Military Cross while serving with the Canadian Machine Gun Corps. This selective approach to recording our regimental casualties has resulted in losing connections to many others over the course of our history and to the families that also suffered their loss. "Once a Royal Canadian …" is often quoted to suggest that once someone has served with The RCR, they are obliged to remember that service and always be proud of it. I would suggest that obligation is a two-way street, and that one of the unwritten regimental obligations of "Once a Royal Canadian …" is also to remember that some who served in or with the Regiment went on to serve in other units and some died wearing another cap badge; though by our own dictum they remain "Royal Canadians." A signal example of this can also be found in our stories of the Second World War. Lieutenant John Blair Hunt landed in Sicily as the Regiment's Intelligence Officer at Pachino. In late 1943 he was wounded, and on recovery was sent to the PPCLI with whom he was killed at San Leonardo on 14 Dec 1943. Regimental histories for both The RCR (Vol. 2, Stevens, 1967) and the PPCLI (Vol III, Stevens, 1957) agree in their texts that Lieut. Hunt had "been loaned by The Royal Canadian Regiment as a company commander two days before" when he was killed in action (quoted from PPCLI Vol III, p. 133). Despite this, Lieut. Hunt is officially recorded as a casualty of the PPCLI and was not recorded as a regimental casualty in our Regiment's Roll of Honour. Although the examples above are both from the Second World War and are of officers of the Regiment, they will be known to some readers and do effectively demonstrate that the selective method of placing names on the Regiment's early Rolls of Honour was not only applied to lower ranks. It affected all equally, as it did in the case of Private Henry Krimmell who, while he would even have still been wearing the eight-pointed star, was serving with the 7th Light Trench Mortar Battery at the time of his death. There are, in fact, 39 officers, NCOs and soldiers of the First World War who served with The RCR in the field and later died while on the strength of other units. Some of these men, like Krimmel, were RCR soldiers who had been posted to other units without a change of parent regiment. Others were initially soldiers of The RCR and later changed both units and badges. Still others spent periods with the Regiment for familiarization in the trenches or while awaiting commissioning, and still more were taken on the strength of The RCR only to be transferred again days or weeks later to another front line unit as the reinforcement system struggled to make up and balance losses. But each of these soldiers has one common attribute. They were each on the strength of The RCR, either posted into the unit or attached, for a brief period. And each later died; a Canadian casualty of the Great War. The list that follows contains the names of these Royal Canadians, however brief their regimental service. Permanent Force Soldiers of the Regiment The RCR started its service in the First World War tasked as the garrison battalion in Bermuda. Upon return to Halifax and subsequent preparations for sailing to England, some soldiers of the Regiment did not continue overseas with the Regiment at that time, but continued their service with other units. Others completed the voyage to England but were transferred out of the Regiment before it entered the trenches in France. 478824 Pte Isaac Stephen Burns.

Can an anarchist be socially conservative? Yes. I see no reason why someone who is anti-abortion or has fundamentalist views on sex or drugs can’t be an anarchist. Anarchism is about building a society in which no one forces their beliefs on others. As long as you respect the views and lives of others, your personal views don’t matter. Historically, there are a few examples of conservative anarchists. One such thinker was Dorothy Day, a Christian anarchist and anarcho-distributist who died in 1980 (about nine days before John Lennon, actually). She wrote extensively in her organization’s penny-a-copy newspaper, The Catholic Worker. Going through the hundreds of articles she wrote, one will begin to see a few topics that she wrote about often. She wrote about cooperatives communes (especially farming communes), about the need to care for the poor, and about her support for private property and collectives. She also wrote about how she thought pre-marital sex was wrong and that abortion and birth control amount to genocide. In The Catholic Worker, in December of 1972, she wrote, I feel that, as in the time of the Desert Fathers, the young are fleeing the cities–wandering over the face of the land, living after a fashion in voluntary poverty and manual labor, seeming to be inactive in the “peace movement.” I know they are still a part of it–just as Cesar Chavez and the Farm Workers’ Movement is also part of it, committed to non-violence, even while they resist, fighting for their lives and their families’ lives. (They, together with the blacks, feel and have stated this, that birth control and abortion are genocide.) About pre-marital sex, she wrote in September of 1963, I have been asked to express myself on these matters, especially since there has been a pamphlet published in England by the Quakers which is said to condone premarriage sexual intercourse “if the parties are responsible.” My reaction to this is that of a woman who must think in terms of the family, the need of the child to have both mother and father, who believes strongly that the home is the unit of society. While these views are uncommon among anarchists, they’re not uncommon among the people of Appalachia where anarchist distributism would do well in an area that prides itself on its individualism yet has a strong sense of community. Combine it with an ardent social conservatism and anarchism would explode here. Many forget that Appalachians don’t vote. Turnout is quite low here. Even if you, like me, aren’t a social conservative, you can alter your message and focus on the aspects of anarchism that could appeal to social conservatives. Many forget that most social conservatives would be okay with a “leave me alone and I’ll leave you alone” approach to these issues. My readers may think that I’m too sympathetic to the average social conservative. I should remind you that only 7% of Americans use Twitter. The conservatives on Twitter (much like the liberals) are a small, small fraction. The average conservative is much more like Dorothy Day. They hold conservative views on social matters but do support things that strengthen the individual and community and would be open to anarchism if it was presented to them in a friendly package. Now, there are certain views that are incompatible with anarchism such as race realism, racism, and the like. One can be anti-abortion as long as they don’t believe the State should intervene and there is a case for reducing abortion without a State by reducing poverty and establishing a voluntarily-funded paid family leave plan. An anarchist can be for school prayer and for traditions as long as they don’t believe the State should enforce it. As long as they don’t hold views fueled by hate, I see no reason why a conservative anarchism cannot exist. Dorothy Day was a model for how one can be conservative and an anarchist. While I am not a social conservative, I know and am friends with many. I believe her work could appeal to conservatives, Appalachians, Southerners, Christians of all denominations, and the Right. If we ignore conservatives, we’ll doom anarchism. Why? If we don’t bother appealing to people who would be receptive to our message then we might as well give up.

Submitted by anon (not verified) on Tue, 08/18/2020 - 08:56 what makes this article one about oxymorons? the only way that actual anarchy will happen is if people stop feeling like they have to monitor other people's beliefs. it is not your responsibility or option to make sure that other people agree with all your beliefs. it is anarchist to make sure that other people's beliefs don't impinge on anyone's ability to live their own life, which is what states and purity programs do. this article is a great challenge, especially in these days of binary thinking. don't make it merely a semantics one. reply I live to disappoint, and you Submitted by anon (not verified) on Tue, 08/18/2020 - 11:57 I live to disappoint, and you'll live to be disappointed again and again. Specially since you say "the only way that actual anarchy will happen": -"the only way....": you assert that there is only one correct way, making you more normative, restrictive and authoritarian than what you accuse me of "monitoring beliefs" or "purity programs -"...that actual anarchy will happen": anarchy is not an end state, a desired scenario you'll get to achieve, it's a lived antagonism, a tension and defiant orientation against the existent. it either always was, as the chaos that constitutes everything, as the way you live your life, or never was and never will be. You concern trolling does not dissuade me, I'll double down to spite you. The ONLY anarchists are those who have not obeyed even once literally immediately attacking every single instance of oppression against them that they encountered AND AT THE SAME TIME have not expected or asked anything from anyone. Obviously this is no one, it's an ideal, not a program. Yet some people manage to get pretty close, and if it were just one, i'd rather there be one of them against the world as it is, than the whole world fashioned by the likes of you. reply : you assert that there is Submitted by Michael PRICE (not verified) on Tue, 09/28/2021 - 07:17 : you assert that there is only one correct way, making you more normative, restrictive and authoritarian than what you : accuse me of "monitoring beliefs" or "purity programs No it's not normative, it's practical. An anarchy that forced people to live by the beliefs of others would not be an anarchy. It would preserve the monopoly of violence in service of getting people to conform. Words have consistent meanings and the consistent meaning of the word "anarchy" is not consistent with forcing people to believe (or pretend to). "anarchy is not an end state, " Yes it is. It's the abolition of the State. That's what we're aiming for. " it's a lived antagonism, a tension and defiant orientation against the existent." No, that's being an anarchist (or at least a revolutionary). That's not the point. The revolutionary activity is meant to create the new world, not be it. "The ONLY anarchists are those who have not obeyed even once literally immediately attacking every single instance of oppression against them that they encountered AND AT THE SAME TIME have not expected or asked anything from anyone. " No, lots of anarchists have compromised in the face of State force, for their own protection or for tactical reasons. It doesn't mean they don't believe in anarchy, which again, is the absence of the State, not some play-acting about rebellion. reply The oxymoron that is "conservative anarchism" Submitted by Alex (Socially ... (not verified) on Mon, 08/17/2020 - 21:17 Came here from twitter and I don't use this site often, so sorry if I fucked up how the comment system works. The idea that anarchism, the radical opposition to all hierarchy and the abolition of both gods and masters, could somehow be conservative and remain internally coherent, is laughable. "Anarchism is about building a society in which no one forces their beliefs on others. As long as you respect the views and lives of others, your personal views don’t matter." This is false. There are views and beliefs that simply aren't respectable and deserve no less than unmitigated hostility. This seems to be an extension of the pacifist, christian socialist, spooner brand of "anarchism" in that it prioritizes this faux individualism over any resistance to authority. Anarchism isn't about respecting beliefs, it's about rebellion. There is no rebellion to be found in conservatism. Conservatism by it's very nature protects traditionalism, white supremacy, theocracy, and other suffocating authoritarianisms. You bring up opposition to pre marital sex up as a good thing, so let me ask you this, is marriage not a patriarchal, misogynist, christo fascist concept rooted in european white supremacy? Is it not another fabrication put forward by institutions of power to control our social lives? Why should I respect a concept so baseless and reactionary as marriage? Even further, why would I limit who I can and can't have sex with upon the basis of something so garbage as marriage? Marriage seems to me to be a license to certain behaviors arbitrarily dolled out by governments and churches. Another example you bring up is birth control, a term invented by anarchists funnily enough. Birth control, very simply, gives a person some control over their own body and it's functions. Birth control is an extension of personal autonomy and self ownership. I believe anarchist transhumanists would even label it as an extension of morphological freedom. It is exercising control over your body via the improvements brought about by science and technology. Of course, this seems to be based in the stereotypical conservative argument that abortion is murder or dirties the "sanctity of life." Allow me to bury this very briefly. The sanctity of life is a made up boogeyman term that reactionaries fashioned to sound smart. It isn't a real thing. Nothing is sacred, including life. If life were truly sacred as you claim, and your gods cared about that life, SIDS wouldn't exist. Next, the idea that birth control/abortion is murder. This comes from the idea that a zygote, somehow, has the same value and importance as a typical adult. Now I'm a nihilist, so a person's supposed inherent value is something I find to be garbage, but I'll humor you, what about a zygote or embryo gives it the same value as an adult person? Is it the fact that they're both alive? Clearly not as your immune system kills organisms far more complex and far more numerous every second. Is it their intelligence? Clearly not, we eat animals that are vastly more intelligent/conscious all of the time. Is it simply the fact that they're human? If so, why? Conservatives drive their children to suicide all of the time by abusing them, so I doubt you care about someone simply for being human. The conservative valuation of embryos seems internally inconsistent and would only make sense if a deity mandated this, which if that's the case, I have a few things to ask. 1. Prove this deity is real. 2. Prove this deity did in fact say abortion and birth control are murder. 3. Prove to me this deity has good reason for declaring this. 4. Prove why I should give a shit what this deity thinks. I could keep going but there seems to be a character limit. Basically, the point is that conservatism is promotes submission to abstractions and authority. The nuclear family, gods, clergy, morality, property, rights, and tradition are all little more than authoritarian bullshit. You can't be a conservative anarchist. reply I agree. But to be contrarian Submitted by anon (not verified) on Mon, 08/17/2020 - 21:39 I agree. But to be contrarian, you can't convince everyone to agree to your same notions of anarchism nor stop anyone from calling themselves anarchist. There seems to be no limit to the expansion of hyphenated-anarchisms to encompass any fanciful ideological construction. If you are against any of these groups you could say "these are not anarchists" or "i'm against these types of anarchists" or "anarchists of many kinds are among my enemies". Another attitude you could have towards that is letting others be even if you don't agree with them while keeping to your own autonomous intentional community. This dilemma is explored in this essay https://bellamyfitzpatrick.com/index.php/2020/01/22/decentralist-anarchy... P.S.

That's literally Chomsky's defense over giving a tribune to Holocaust deniers, and even forewording their books. But I let others "be" on a daily basis.. What I'm still against is to be giving a platform for their hate and bigotry, as it totally support more authoritarian movements and their narratives. Banning "free speech" for the Alt Right is not the reason why it got so big lately... on the contrary because this tendency was allowed to spread and consolidate, online. Even hardcore liberal republican Thomas Jefferson was clearly opposed to letting bigotry and "fake news" happen, back in the late 18th where it was already a thing (US was always a haven for charlatans and toxic bullshitters, as you should know). But in the name of "mah libuhrty", plenty of shitty tendencies were still allowed to flourish. reply So exactly what is the Submitted by Michael PRICE (not verified) on Tue, 09/28/2021 - 07:19 So exactly what is the difference between your "anarchy" and a State that uses censorship? reply What kinda answer you expect Submitted by anon (not verified) on Tue, 09/28/2021 - 09:17 What kinda answer you expect from answering questions to a comment posted a year ago? reply Your commune obviously won't Submitted by anon (not verified) on Tue, 08/18/2020 - 02:14 Your commune obviously won't include particular people.

You're just throwing out strings of words. How, exactly is marriage "christo fascist" when the practice predates Christianity by two millennia and fascism by four? I'm sympathetic to the critique of marriage, but want to challenge the practice (which is nearing ubiquity among internet-brained radicals) of substituting strings of /bad words/ for actual critique. Simply calling things names doesn't offer any substantial critique of them, it just perpetuates the moralistic condemnation that passes for thought among contemporary anarchists. reply Alex and Ishi Submitted by anon (not verified) on Tue, 08/18/2020 - 12:56 For someone who says they're nihilist, you sure did a lot of moralising in that there post, partner. I'd invite you and others to consider the strange case of Ishi, the last native ever to be captured by the colonisers, just over a hundred years ago. Ishi was deeply conservative. His tribe were thought of as backwards and stubborn by other natives. Yet it was their conservatism that meant they fought to the very last. They never negotiated, never reformed, never strayed from their age old ways. They were totally against the new world, against the colonisers, and against civilization itself. Couldn't these old conservatives be called anarchists? reply Good point. I've advanced Submitted by anon (not verified) on Tue, 08/18/2020 - 14:50 Good point.

To everyone else: didn't Bookchin end up rejecting anarchy? reply yes Submitted by anon (not verified) on Tue, 08/18/2020 - 09:00 bookchin rejected anarchy at the end. all those dmd *lifestylists* reply Bookchin didn't reject Submitted by anon (not verified) on Tue, 08/18/2020 - 09:11 Bookchin didn't reject anarchy "in the end" but in the middle, at exactly the same time his stupid pamphlet "Social Anarchism or Lifestyle Anarchism" was published. as his partner Janet Biehl makes clear here ("As early as 1995 he was telling the people closest to him that he no longer considered himself part of that movement." -- https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/janet-biehl-bookchin-breaks-with... ) reply anyone that would call Submitted by anon (not verified) on Mon, 09/27/2021 - 04:36 anyone that would call chomsky conservative is using that word in a way i have never heard it used. reply social conservatism is one Submitted by anon (not verified) on Tue, 08/18/2020 - 10:29 social conservatism is one thing, but "her support for private property..." is that a typo? because that just doesn't square so well with the rest of the argument. reply It's not a typo, but I think Submitted by anon (not verified) on Tue, 08/18/2020 - 16:43 It's not a typo, but I think it's important to look at the lives of Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin to see how they viewed the issue of property, as they believed in there being no divide between one's theory and practice. Both lived without anything of their own (Peter refused even a desk, using his lap to write), in collective city houses and rural communes, living & sharing among the poor, of whom they were a part. Their ideas on property are a bit idiosyncratic, as Peter looked to the Sermon on the Mount, distributism, personalism, Kropotkin, and the British Arts & Crafts movement for inspiration. They were anything but defenders of capitalism or free markets. (If you want a better idea of their concepts than the above essay gives, Peter Maurin's 'Easy Essays' on life, labor, etc are online: http://www.easyessays.org/) reply hey member when anarchy meant Submitted by rfa on Tue, 08/18/2020 - 13:46 hey member when anarchy meant something about being opposed to authority? i member. what do words mean anyway? reply The Liberal Revolution Never Ended Submitted by Liminal D on Tue, 08/18/2020 - 14:00 Conservative in this context seems to merely equate to Catholic. Ho-hum. And so there will still be Catholic sermons for me to ignore. Perhaps we can just tear up the road together; or am I being threatened with being overwhelmed? Did conservatives exist before the birthing of liberalism and its nationalist counterpart? Perhaps when "conservative" is uttered the liberal and nationalist is invoked. Perhaps the same is invoked when "radical" or "socialist" bends the air. Horror! Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps... Liberals and nationalists can't help but love riding the coattails of their religious ancestry, the Conservative seemingly only differs as a subset in its level of tolerance towards the State's bullshit. I'm keeping an eye on yooouuuu! reply Definitely a Catholic link, Submitted by anon (not verified) on Tue, 08/18/2020 - 14:40 Definitely a Catholic link, going way back. Follow this timeline back. Catholic KKK arose out of Freemasons arose out of Catholic Templar Knights arose out of Catholic Crusaders arose out Catholic Charlemagne arose out of Catholic Byzantium arosè out of Roman Catholicism arose out of Emperor Constantine the Great. 2,000 years of liberal/totalitarian conservatives all with imperialist/cosmopolitan Utopianism. DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER HERE!! reply Everyone makes Anarchism Submitted by Joe Schmoe (not verified) on Tue, 08/18/2020 - 23:20 Everyone makes Anarchism overly complex. True anarchy is not a political ideal nor a social objective to attain. It is a lifestyle, a thought process, the understanding that authority is both unethical and an illusion, plus the complete rejection of unjust/compulsory requirements set forth by the state. I love the thoughts and ideas, but 99% of ”Anarchy” seems to be people discussing and trying to define anarchy rather than living it. People must quit pondering and start actioning. reply people MUST!!!!!! Submitted by anon (not verified) on Tue, 08/18/2020 - 23:35 people MUST!!!!!! ACTIONING!!!!! reply i was wondering when the hobgoblin Submitted by CenterBumRightAnal (not verified) on Wed, 08/19/2020 - 03:35 of necessity would pop up again, its very relaxing reply There have certainly been Submitted by Luke Batten (not verified) on Wed, 08/19/2020 - 01:06 There have certainly been class-reductionist 'anarchists,' and contributors to anarchism with contradictory ideological views: the antisemitism of Bakunin, the sexism (and, er, antisemitism again) of Proudhon. While I can't say people with such ideas rooted in material oppressions can't be identified as anarchist, I have to do it with qualification that those views were absolutely not — they were incoherencies, and, often, they did real harm. Anarchism itself must be socially progressive to the extreme, rooted in the disestablishment of the old order. Of course, with people, that's probably reductive. The perfect anarchist hasn't been born: conscious and unexamined, we all perpetuate small hierarchies, and in many ways, the path of anarchism is about struggling to recognise and overcome those we have yet to defeat, as many as we can, even if we do not always do so as perfectly as we demand from ourselves. reply conservatism feels more like an emotional state Submitted by anon (not verified) on Wed, 08/19/2020 - 02:12 than it does a political identity. In my opinion, many nihilists and post-leftists are conservative because they just snarkily grin while you get excited about political bullshit, and so are work-obsessed protestants with fat bank accounts. I don't think Catholicism and anarchism are in any way compatible. Catholicism was literally the rock which evanglicals built their sign posts on. Has nothing to do with any of the more mystical and potentially dangerous elements of christianity. The "YOU THINK WHAT I/YOU WANT WHILE I THINK WHAT I WANT" is at the heart of modernity. "While these views are uncommon among anarchists, they’re not uncommon among the people of Appalachia where anarchist distributism would do well in an area that prides itself on its individualism yet has a strong sense of community. Combine it with an ardent social conservatism and anarchism would explode here." So what propaganda do you think is going to light up the mountains? I've been really curious about this for a long time, as i live fairly close to appalachia, but it's not "real" appalachia. I was by the standards of the lib gossipers a redneck, but nobody in the course of my life has every used the word "conservative" to describe what i think or how i betray myself. To me the real question is: how is the destruction of the spook of productivity even possible? Easy as a loner, but not as a community. Sure you can sit in a cabin making bombs and spreading a gospel but the possibilities of intentional communities are almost completely gone. reply Anarchism is Libertarian but not Self-Righteous Submitted by Wayne Price (not verified) on Wed, 08/19/2020 - 15:49 Being a revolutionary anarchist does not mean being self-righteous. I respect Dorothy Day, but believe she had significant flaws. As several commenters have written, no one, not even the best of anarchists, is perfect. So I am an atheist but do not believe in demanding that everyone else give up their religious beliefs (however much I regard them as contradictory). If we insist that everyone become atheists, there will never be anarchism! I do not object if someone comes to the conclusion that abortion is wrong. I object if they insist that no one else is allowed to have an abortion. I don't object if a couple commits to living together for life (or as long as they can stand it); I object to anyone trying to force this pattern of sexual relations on everyone. And so on reply i wonder what dorothy day would say Submitted by anon (not verified) on Wed, 08/19/2020 - 17:50 in response to abortion laws. What i meant to say above is that reffering to abortions as "genocide" clearly shows me that someone does not have a live and let live attitude about people in a community. Abortion is "murder" in the sense that its a planned killing, however in my experience catholics repeat that dogma so emphatically that they ignore every other aspect of the more immediate concerns with an abortion. Abortions can hurt women and be a bad idea, but not 100% of the time. i admit i sounded a bit dogmatic and "leftist" above, but some things to me are just WIERD! The description of the article read more as satire to me, her idea of having private and collectives made way more sense to me. Things are wierd...to that extent i am totally conservative. reply Naughty naughty boy Wayne! Submitted by anon (not verified) on Wed, 08/19/2020 - 17:53 ",,,couple commits to living together for life (or as long as they can stand it)" I just picked up a very slight hint of sarcastic misogyny in the last part of that sentence. SHAME ON YOU WAYNE! reply You're projecting since no Submitted by anon (not verified) on Wed, 08/19/2020 - 18:16 You're projecting since no gender was implied, only a critique of coupling and the couple-form was. reply How spicy Submitted by cino (not verified) on Wed, 08/19/2020 - 18:03 Seems to be quite a bit of anarchist gatekeeping in these here comments. This is how the ruling class will stop the revolution, As long as we are fighting amongst ourselves, we cannot fight agaist them. reply Showing hostility to all who Submitted by anon (not verified) on Wed, 08/19/2020 - 18:14 Showing hostility to all who want to curtail your freedom and to accomplices of the ruling class is self-defense and not gate-keeping. The question the article poses is valid, if incongruent claims to anarchy are allowed, then there is space for conservatives as well, and they may even fit in better at times than others who also claim anarchy. There will never be an anarchist revolutions. Revolutions only establish new ruling orders. So yes, fighting among ourselves, not limited to other "anarchists", is preferable to your revolution, or to social war-peace/disaster-business as usual. reply Curious Submitted by cino (not verified) on Wed, 08/19/2020 - 18:26 I'm curious then, how do you see anarchism playing out? Or is anarchism just a side thing for you? Genuinely asking. reply Anarchism will keep playing Submitted by anon (not verified) on Wed, 08/19/2020 - 19:15 Anarchism will keep playing out more or less as it has until it doesn't. Anarchy for me is a matter of how much can i muster to live in opposition to authority and all the things that encroach into my life, alternating evasion and attack. I fail at this every day and fall short of my expectations. It's not a side thing, it's an existential (crisis) question. To me it's not about herding (through self-organization or self-management) a mass movement towards a cliff to jump off. There no grand climax or culmination in the horizon. reply Anti-misogynist commenter Submitted by anon (not verified) on Wed, 08/19/2020 - 23:35 Anti-misogynist commenter here, Well said, the -ism attached to anarch devalues and prostitutes the pure pursuit of anarch-esque living and ideas.

Trolls also need food because they are compassionate and love dopamine. reply I'm really not a troll. I'm Submitted by cino (not verified) on Mon, 08/24/2020 - 18:57 I'm really not a troll. I'm just (honestly) severely undereducated. I do want to know how other anarchists think, not just the high school ones. reply What would it mean for Submitted by anon (not verified) on Sat, 08/22/2020 - 02:30 What would it mean for anarchism to function as a source of disalienated pleasure rather than an accumulation strategy? reply Why is race realism incompatible with anarchism? Submitted by Michael PRICE (not verified) on Mon, 09/27/2021 - 03:06 "Now, there are certain views that are incompatible with anarchism such as race realism," Let's start by defining the term "race realism". It consists of 3 beliefs: 1) that "race" is a real biological category of the species homo sapiens, sufficient coherent and significant that meaningful predictions can be made with it. 2) That IQ measures something meaningful/is a good proxy for general mental ability (also known as "g"). 3) That the IQ differences between races are significantly due to genetic differences between the races. The most prominent race realist is Ryan Faulk who puts the percentage of the difference at 80%, however believing that it's over 50% would definitely make you a race realist, and arguably even 10% would. So does believing in any of this make you not an anarchist, or unacceptable to anarchists? Leave aside whether any of it is true, anarchists are free to believe false things and anarchy does not collapse. The first belief that race is real is remarkably harmless. Whether you classify people biologically makes absolutely no difference to how you treat them by itself. You can believe races are real and not believe in any systematic difference between them in terms of morality, intelligence or other important factors. The second belief also doesn't clash with anarchism. Believing that something measures something doesn't imply that those with more of it should dictate to others. That you can potentially measure mental functioning doesn't imply that anyone's mental functioning is good enough to make Statism work, or bad enough to make anarchism not work. So it's the third belief that must be the problem if there is one. But how is having a false belief about the probabilities of someone's abilities or even morality fatal to anarchism? Bear in mind race realists don't believe that race is an infallible guide to anything on an individual level. Taking the most extreme position, Recent-African-descended humans are a standard deviation below European descended humans, Even under that assumption 15.8% of ADH are smarter than 50% of EDH. At the higher end 2.28% of ADH are smarter than 84.13% of EDH. So it doesn't even stereotype people in a way that prevents them from flourishing. It just means that until evidence is shown they are higher IQ some people doubt it. Anarchy can survive that. Having someone think you're dumb for half an hour is hardly the worst thing to happen to people. Any time when it's important to the race realist to actually know how well someone thinks, he'll check, because even race realists acknowledge race is a poor proxy for IQ. On the other hand race realism is a huge danger to the State, whatever position the State takes on any or all of these 3 beliefs. That's because it must enforce it's vision regardless of the effect on individuals. A State that believed in race realism would also believe that races have fundamentally conflicting interests, and would have to use force to resolve them. A State that didn't would have to suppress speech to prevent the belief in race realism to prevent the perception of conflicting interests. Note all this is true regardless of whether race realism is correct at all. reply A more fundamental argument Submitted by anon (not verified) on Mon, 09/27/2021 - 07:31 A more fundamental argument against these racist fabrications is way more simple... its to be basing races on arbitrary geographic designations. "Africa" or "Europe" don't really exist. It's a bunch of bioregions with a vast range of ethnic-cultural diversity, which makes genetic groupings way more complicated than the "race realists" would like to believe. Sure... we all need generalizations and simplifications, so they say? Yeah, that's just how we build up gross stereotypical narratives that are wrong. reply You can be wrong, that's fine but be relevant. Submitted by Michael PRICE (not verified) on Tue, 09/28/2021 - 07:08 "A more fundamental argument against these racist fabrications is way more simple..." But we're not discussing whether these beliefs are fabrications, we're discussing whether they're incompatible with anarchism. I specifically mentioned more than once that nothing I said was invalided by these beliefs being wrong. But since you brought it up, yes race is real. You can make predictions based on the concept of race, for instance, that someone who self-identifies as a particular race with fit in a particular genetic cluster. The accuracy of this particular test is over 98% and with more markers will probably improve. "Yeah, that's just how we build up gross stereotypical narratives that are wrong." So you'd ban beliefs because they can be used to make bad decisions? Are you sure you're an anarchist? reply beliefs are not actions. Submitted by anon (not verified) on Mon, 09/27/2021 - 04:51 beliefs are not actions. sometimes beliefs lead to action. beliefs cannot oppress or otherwise impose on others (in any meaningful way). only actions can. one can believe abortion is wrong. i see nothing anti-anarchist about that. only when they act on that belief to impose on another does their action become anti-anarchist. reply Not sure why this old thread Submitted by anon (not verified) on Mon, 09/27/2021 - 10:20 Not sure why this old thread got revived, but that was worth it. Both to put the last nails in the coffin of two things: - the nonsense of "anarchist conservatives" (one of the biggest oxymorons imaginable... but so it seems anything goes in the US, right?); - C4SS, that really needs to be flushed down the memory hole. Don't even make jokes about Willie Gillie... these people and their absurd anti-anarchist "think tank" gotta be erased for good. I don't recall anything beneficial or even engaging they published. reply Willie Gillie? Oh yeah, The Submitted by anon (not verified) on Mon, 09/27/2021 - 11:53 Willie Gillie? Oh yeah, The Mastermind of the Anarchist Universe. The man who contemplated being the first who dared to have a radical thought whilst driving a buggy over the red sand dunes of Mars, but couldn't because a sand storm was on the horizon and oxygen levels were desperately low! reply When anarchists become leery Submitted by anon (not verified) on Mon, 09/27/2021 - 12:37 When anarchists become leery or frightened by the idiocies of faux anarchists, instead of the heebie geebies, we have to start calling that getting the willie gillies. reply Add new comment Your name E-mail The content of this field is kept private and will not be shown publicly.

Unmanaged active fires are highly hazardous and cause instant damages to people, property, wildlife, and the environment. As the situation worsens across the globe, it’s clearly evident that we must take preventive steps to manage active fires better. Countries like the USA, Canada, and Australia, among others, have been facing a series of wildfires that have severely impacted public health and the environment, leaving long-term effects. Many cities in India are also witnessing a serious rise in air pollution due to reasons like stubble burning. To manage these risks, organizations can use fire and air quality monitoring data to help track active fires, predict vulnerable locations, and inform citizens about the hazardous nature of fires Fire is considered to be humanity’s earliest and arguably the most important discovery. This discovery has led us through centuries of progress and innovations. But what happens when the fire isn’t managed carefully? It leads to a series of disastrous events that pose a threat to health and humanity. Unmanaged active fires can be highly hazardous. The rapid spread of fire causes damages to people, property, wildlife, and the environment instantly, while having long-term effects on them. Fire releases carbon dioxide and particulate matter in the atmosphere that cause respiratory diseases, reduce air quality levels, and impact the climate. Assessing the Dangers of Fire on Health and the Environment The majority of wildfires are caused by people, according to the U.S. Department of the Interior. Unattended campfires, the burning of debris, negligently discarded cigarettes, and intentional acts of arson are some of the sources that have led to the spread of fire. According to climate experts, human-induced climate change has also led to a recurring pattern of wildfire seasons worldwide. Smoke comprises many toxic components, and the most harmful is the minute particulate matter called PM2.5. These particles can travel into the lungs and sometimes end up in the bloodstream, causing cardiovascular, respiratory, and sometimes, neurological problems. PM2.5 exposure also worsens asthma, stroke, eczema, cancer, and more. According to a report by the Lancet, fire emissions are unhealthy for everyone, but the most vulnerable demographics include children, pregnant women, stroke survivors, and people over 65 years of age or those who have a respiratory disease or diabetes. Smoke can also cause wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and headaches. It also increases health risks for people with COVID-19, including those who have recovered. Effects of fire don’t end with humans; it also has a severe negative impact on the environment. During the past three years, wildfires have been observed across the globe, including Australia, British Columbia in Canada, the USA, and the Amazon rainforest. In 2020, communities across Western America faced one of the deadliest wildfire seasons along with the global pandemic. According to Insurance Information Institute’s report, since the beginning of 2019, 3 million acres of land have been burned in California due to active wildfires resulting in thousands of destroyed homes and businesses. Smoke traveling from fires in California and Oregon has severely degraded the air quality across the USA. The wildfires in Australia have also affected every state and destroyed more than 2000 homes, and burned millions of acres. A study conducted in 2017 also claimed that particulates like soot from wildfires in Canada had been linked to the deposition of black carbon on Greenland’s ice sheet. This accumulation of soot causes a faster melting of glaciers which warms the Arctic atmosphere and leads to a rise in sea level through the injection of fresh water into the ocean. What Is Happening Around the World Right Now? USDA Forest Service had previously characterized the fire season as a four-month-long event every year, but their latest reports suggest that it now stretches into six to eight months. Wildfires are starting earlier, with a higher burn intensely, and are covering larger pieces of land more than ever before. In 2021, the U.S. has been facing an intense wildfire season across the country in a similar pattern to what was witnessed in 2020. Mediterranean countries such as Greece, Turkey, and Italy, have also been forced to evacuate residents and tourists from many parts of their country in response to blazing wildfires. According to the European Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), even sparsely populated regions like Siberia faced uncontrollable control wildfires this year that have already broken annual records for fire-related emissions. However, it’s not just the recurring wildfires around the world that have been of harm. Man-made fires in parts of India, mainly due to stubble burning, have seriously impacted the air quality and have raised concerns about their effect on climate. Stubble burning is a practice followed by farmers residing in the northwestern states of India, mainly Punjab and Haryana, where they set their paddy fields on fire to prepare land for the next sowing season. This act raises several problems, including widespread air pollution, especially in their neighboring states and cities. This has been highlighted several times in the past, especially after the onset of The Great Smog of Delhi, 2017. According to a report published by the Times of India, Punjab witnessed 74,015 fires between September 1 and November 16, 2021. This broke the record for the highest count in the last five years, where a total of 84,886 fires were counted in 2016. Along with stubble burning, the low AQI is also due to the bursting of crackers during Diwali. Tracking the present data on Global Air Pollution, Punjab’s AQI is set at 164 as of November 23, whereas the Delhi and Haryana indexes show an unhealthy number of 159 and 155, respectively. These numbers are more than triple compared to the acceptable level of air pollution, which is below 50. The presence of high levels of particulate matter, mainly PM 2.5, in the atmosphere is also recorded. The safe level of PM2.5 ranges from 0 µg/m3 to 12 µg/m3, but Punjab, Delhi, and Haryana data suggests the presence of PM2.5 at 81.5 µg/m3, 60.4 µg/m3, and 63 µg/m3, respectively. Unmanaged fire has been a severe crisis for a while now, causing several problems to public health and the environment. Serious measures must be taken to mitigate the risks posed by it. What Can We Do About It? World Health Organization (WHO) in September 2021, launched a newly updated set of guidelines that aims to protect the health of the people and the climate through reduction of key air pollutants that include – particulate matter (PM), ozone (O₃), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and carbon monoxide (CO). WHO, at COP26, also hosted a side event where they raised concerns over the depleting nature of climate and air quality and demanded a change in the policies and the necessary tools to tackle health-related issues, including reducing air pollution. To fight this issue, government bodies and non-governmental organizations around the world have issued policies and guidelines for managing and reducing man-made fires. Policies such as these always help monitor the issue, but we as citizens can help as well. There are many ways in which we can contribute to the world. One way is to use fire and air quality monitoring data to help track active fires and even predict vulnerable locations. Organizations can leverage Ambee’s hyperlocal air quality and fire data to inform citizens about fire-prone areas. Ambee’s fire API enables people to detect active fire globally and locate fire-prone regions to avoid loss and injuries.

Get real-time fire data: https://t.co/Uo9rjlVbp3 pic.twitter.com/ONcmtmPL67 — Ambee (@get_ambee) July 31, 2021 In collaboration with the fire data, air quality monitoring data can also be beneficial to track the unsafe levels of pollutant concentration in any location around the globe. This can help generate actionable insights that can be used to create policies to manage air quality, inform citizens, and formulate long-term plans to reduce emissions and risks. The air quality level data can also be used to alert people against the ill effects of fire-generated air pollution, assess, and manage the demand and supply of medication. As we head towards an uncertain world at the brink of a climate emergency, everything we do has a repercussion. Even a small action could have a series of consequences that could worsen the situation. Imagine living in a world so vulnerable that we need to think twice about whether the action we take will affect the environment negatively. With this thought in mind, Ambee’s fire and air quality APIs have been designed to accumulate data to mitigate the risks caused by fire and air pollution.

007: Quantum of Solace is a first-person shooter (third-person shooter for Nintendo DS and PlayStation 2) video game based on the films Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo DS, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360. The game was released on October 31, 2008 in Europe, November 4, 2008 in North America, and November 19, 2008 in Australia. The game's release coincided with the release of Quantum of Solace. The game is the first James Bond title published by Activision; the company acquired the video game licence to the James Bond franchise in 2006. The game was released on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360 developed by Treyarch, Beenox ported the Microsoft Windows and Wii versions alongside Treyarch, Vicarious Visions and Eurocom developed their own versions for Nintendo DS and PlayStation 2. It is powered by the IW 3.0 engine. It is first to feature Daniel Craig's voice and likeness, as well as those of Eva Green, Judi Dench, Mads Mikkelsen, Olga Kurylenko and Mathieu Amalric. It is also the only Activision-published James Bond title to be developed primarily by an American studio, as the later Bond games published by Activision would be developed by British studios Eurocom (in Derby) and Bizarre Creations (in Liverpool). The game begins with James Bond kidnapping Mr. White, a member of the previously unknown criminal-terrorist organization Quantum. While he and M interrogate White, they are attacked by the traitorous MI6 agent Henry Mitchell, who is killed by Bond while White escapes. Later, Bond spies on a meeting of Quantum members and photographs them; among them is Dominic Greene, a well-known environmentalist. The game jumps forward to Bond crashlanding in Bolivia, where Greene is trying to buy land. By this time, Bond has met Camille Montes who is seeking vengeance against General Medrano, who is trying to overthrow the Bolivian government. Bond learns that Medrano killed Camille's family, and this is why she wants revenge. Bond opens up to Camille about the death of his former love, recounting the events of Casino Royale. The player follows through the plot of Casino Royale, from Bond chasing Mollaka through Madagascar, Bond infiltrating the Science Center to kill Dimitrios, saving Skyfleet from Carlos, killing Bliss en route to Montenegro, meeting Vesper, saving Le Chiffre from Steven Obanno and his men, saving Vesper from Le Chiffre, and finally confronting Vesper and Gettler in Venice where Vesper dies, at which point it flashes back to the present. Bond and Camille soon arrive at a hotel in the middle of the Bolivian desert. There, Greene and Medrano are discussing the land that Greene wants to buy; Greene will fund Medrano's attempt to overthrow the government in exchange for the land that he wants. Bond and Camille break up the meeting; Camille then kills Medrano while Bond kills Greene. During the fight, the hotel's fuel cells are ignited; Bond and Camille manage to escape from the hotel before it explodes. They leave the area in an MI6 helicopter. In the closing scene, it is revealed that Mr. White and Guy Haines are looking at MI6 debriefings and updates on 007's missions. The game ends with a short scene of Bond outside the house telling M that he's going in. The Wii version of the game features up to 4 players in a split screen offline multiplayer. Online mode allows for a maximum of 4 players in a choice of 4 modes: Conflict, Rush, Team Conflict and Team Rush. These have different ratings for each individual mode. The Wii version also uses Friend Codes which allow players to create games just for themselves and friends. The online mode uses Miis. The DS version of the game is designed differently from its console counterparts. The game is played with the DS held sideways and is in the third person. Bond's movements are controlled by dragging the stylus around the touchscreen. Actions (such as firing a weapon) are performed by pressing icons on the touchscreen, while the DS's buttons are relegated to primarily initiating hand-to-hand combat. There are 6 weapons in this version. The storyline followed by the DS version is also different. The character of Camille is cut altogether, the opening mission at White's Estate is replaced by a training simulation at MI6 Headquarters and, after fighting street gangs in Bolivia, the final mission and boss fights against Greene and Mr. White take place at Guy Haines' Mansion (a deleted scene from the original ending of the film). The PlayStation 2 version of the game is an over-the-shoulder third-person shooter, much like 007: Everything or Nothing. This version excludes missions such as "Miami Airport" and "Train", but it adds missions such as the docks level. Bond Versus: One Bond plays against six other members of the 'Organization'. Bond will win if he defuses two of the three bombs, or else eliminates every member of the Organization. To make the game fairer Bond has two lives, can see all enemies, and can use any weapon set (whereas the members of the Organization have only 3 basic options). The Organization wins if Bond dies twice or if he cannot defuse two bombs in the time limit. Team Conflict: Basic Team Deathmatch of MI6 versus the 'Organization'. Golden Gun: This is a standard free-for-all conflict, which the main aim is to score 100 points. One point is scored for a kill with normal weapons, or for picking up the Golden Gun, while kills while holding the Golden Gun (or killing the person with it) scores 6. The winner is the first to score 100 points or the highest number of points in the allotted time limit. Bond Evasion: There are two teams, MI6 and The Organization. One player from the MI6 team is randomly designated as Bond, and therefore as the VIP. MI6 wins the round if Bond can get to the escape point, or if all of the Organization are eliminated. The Organization wins if Bond is prevented from escaping within the time limit, or if he dies. Territory Control: Basic match of one team having to control a point to gain points for their team. Classic: Players starts with a GF 18 A (Glock 18). Weapons and explosives are spawned around the level for them to pick up. When playing in Multiplayer, credits are earned based on the number of points acquired. These are used, in a currency format, to purchase further enhancements and upgrades. These can be spent on unlocking new weapons, explosives, gadgets (such as increased health or better accuracy) and attachments for weapons. The upgrades can be accumulated in any order, instead of in a set order, and are able to stack. Conflict: This is a death-match. Up to four players compete versus each other to score as many kills as possible in a selectable number of minutes. Rush: This is a mission death-match. All players (up to four) are against each other and are assigned certain missions to complete in a selectable number of minutes. Team Conflict: The goal is to get the most kills for the player team (Organization versus MI-6). The teams can be constructed in any way (3 vs 1, 2 vs 2, 4 vs 0, in a four-player match). There is a time limit of 15 minutes. Team Rush: This is a team play game. The goal is to do specific missions before the other team does, all while staying alive. 15 minutes is the time limit. The Wii's ranking system is the same as Mario Kart Wii's online. Players start at 5000 points and can gain or lose points depending on how well they played. The 5000 points are separate for each game mode, for example, A player can have 5350 points in Conflict, and have 5000 points in Rush or Team Rush.

The 3 main ingredients needed to build a successful professional blog are the ability to supply quality content, the need to develop and maintain a base of loyal readers, and offering quality products. Working together these 3 components can create a steady and significant online income for the right individual. What does it take to for an aspiring internet marketer to create and maintain a money making blog such as this? Let's take a look at the 3 key components needed to be a successful professional blogger: Quality Content The origin of any popular blog is the quality of content posted to it. Whether your posts are shocking, interesting, or informative, you need to gain the attention and then the approval of new visitors with content that appeals to them. By doing so you've increase the chances of them returning. Another important aspect of your content appeal is its ability to motivate visitors to recommend your site to others. This 'viral' effect will help boost traffic to your blog and hopefully the recommendations will continue to spiral upward from that point forward. Maintaining Reader Loyalty First and foremost the content of the blog must remain consistent with the original theme or purpose for which the site was created. To deviate from the original purpose of the blog would create confusion and disillusionment amongst the readers. This would eventually lead to a decrease in the subscription base. The content now needs to supply ongoing value to readers. The heart and soul of any blog is the ability to provide useful, thought provoking, entertaining, insightful, or informative content to its readers. Failure to provide this will reduce the reader's loyalty or discourage them from further recommending your blog to others. Quality Products Now that you're maintaining reader loyalty and attracting a growing subscriber base we can make a couple assumptions here. 1) Your readers have an interest in the theme upon which your blog is based 2) You command a certain respect from your readers pertaining to your knowledge of the blog's subject matter. It is at this point that you can passively start to make recommendations to your readers on particular products that would fit their needs or interest. The way you introduce your passive promoting is up to you. It can be in the form of a post that reviews a particular product, a post where the subject may naturally lead into a product referral, or even banner ads. Take caution here not to crowd your blog with advertisements or hammer your readers with sales pitches. Remember they originally subscribed just for your content and not to be sold anything. In order to build a successful professional blog you'll need to maintain your consistency with the reader base. Continue to supply them with the content they desire while offering to them helpful products using a soft sell approach. You've worked too hard to gain their loyalty just to drive them away with your 'overselling' them! T.J Philpott is an author and Internet entrepreneur based out of North Carolina.

Faster Hit Recovery (FHR) is a coefficient that increases the speed of recovery from being stunned. A character gets stunned when a monster successfully damages him/her more than the stun threshold allows. Contents 1 Diablo I 2 Diablo II 2.1 Faster Hit Recovery breakpoints 2.2 Equipment 3 See also Diablo I Hit Recovery is in its most basic form in Diablo/Hellfire, with almost every class suffering from the same stun threshold. Given the high damage in later levels on Hell difficulty, nothing can be done to prevent stunning, short of having a high Defense. As such, items that offer a faster hit recovery helps to prevent a stunlock on the hero. As noted above, while almost everyone has the same stun threshold, one differs. The Barbarian from Hellfire has a slightly higher stun threshold per level than the rest of the classes, to fit with his axe specialization. From top to bottom: Barbarian stun threshold: 1.25 points of damage per level. All other classes: 1 point of damage per level. Diablo II All characters share the same stun threshold in Diablo II/Lord of Destruction. If a hit from a monster deals damage greater than 1/12th of a hero's maximum Life, he/she will be stunned. Each character has a base hit recovery value. This is not a base hit recovery rate, but the value is used to calculate the hit recovery rate. The hit base of the characters are as follows: Amazon 6 Assassin 5 Barbarian 5 Druid 7 Werewolf 4 Werebear 5 Necromancer 7 Paladin 5 Sorceress 8 Rogue Archer 6 Desert Mercenary 8 Iron Wolf 9 Barbarian Warrior 5 The standard animation speed is 256 except in the case of the human-form Druid wielding one handed weapons (248), Werebear-form Druid (184), and a Paladin using two handed weapons (192). The calculation to find Effective Faster Hit Recovery (EFHR) is: EFHR = [FHR x 120 / (FHR + 120)] (rounded down) The calculation to find the hit recovery frames is: Hit Recovery Frames = {256 x Hit Base / [Animation Speed x (50 + EFHR) / 100 (rounded down)]} (rounded up) - 1 Faster Hit Recovery breakpoints There are 25 frames per second, so as the Faster Hit Recovery increases, the frames decrease. Since frames of animation cannot be further divided into fractions, this creates "breakpoints". You will not see any change in Faster Hit Recovery until you pass the next breakpoint. This means that an Amazon with 31 FHR is effectively equal to one with only 20. As one frame is a mere .04 seconds, it may not even seem worthwhile, however in practice, even single frames can make a noticeable difference.

dc.description.abstract The present study is motivated by two questions. First, can late learners of a second language (L2), who begin learning after puberty and are unbalanced bilinguals, activate or visualize the meaning of an L2 word or sentence as quickly as do first language (L1) speakers? Second, if so, what factors—such as L2 proficiency and the amount of its use—contribute to developing native–like efficient processing in L2? To address these questions, the degrees of automatic semantic activation were compared between L1 and L2 speakers through emotional involvement during word recognition and mental imagery generation during sentential reading. To this end, a total of 60 late–advanced L2 Korean speakers participated in the emotional Stroop Task and the sentence–based picture recognition task along with 36 L1 Korean speakers. The results revealed that the emotional Stroop effect was not statistically significant in the late L2 group but was significant in the L1 group; whereas the sentence–picture congruency effect was significant in both L2 and L1 groups with similar degrees. This means that late L2 Korean speakers could activate sentence meaning during L2 sentential reading as automatically as L1 speakers but could not activate word meaning as efficiently as L1 speakers. Different degrees of semantic activation among the L2 group across experiments compared to L1 speakers can be considered as cross–task variation; that is, L2 speakers exhibited native–like patterns when semantic activation was promoted but did not when constrained in the tasks (in a sentence–based picture recognition task and an emotional Stroop task, respectively). Furthermore, the results showed that the effect of L2 use was positively significant both on the emotional Stroop effect and the sentence–picture congruency effect. These findings suggest that the degree of automatic semantic activation during L2 word recognition, as well as sentence reading can be improved with increased L2 use, despite the late starting age of L2 acquisition. Overall, the present study found positive evidence that late L2 speakers may achieve native–like efficiency in reading comprehension in L2, assisted with the extensive L2 use in addition to high proficiency in L2. en_US dc.language.iso en en_US dc.title AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION OF SEMANTIC REPRESENTATION DURING SECOND LANGUAGE PROCESSING en_US dc.type Dissertation en_US dc.contributor.publisher Digital Repository at the University of Maryland en_US dc.contributor.publisher University of Maryland (College Park, Md.) en_US dc.contributor.department Second Language Acquisition and Application en_US dc.subject.pqcontrolled Language en_US dc.subject.pqcontrolled Psychology en_US dc.subject.pquncontrolled automatic semantic representation en_US dc.subject.pquncontrolled embodied cognition en_US dc.subject.pquncontrolled emotional Stroop en_US dc.subject.pquncontrolled Korean as a second language en_US dc.subject.pquncontrolled mental imagery en_US dc.subject.pquncontrolled second language processing en_US  Files in this item Name: AHN_umd_0117E_16311.pdf Size: 982.3Kb Format: PDF View/Open This item appears in the following Collection(s) Languages, Literatures, & Cultures Theses and Dissertations UMD Theses and Dissertations Show simple item record DRUM is brought to you by the University of Maryland Libraries University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742-7011 (301)314-1328.

According to the Great Soviet encyclopedia, "header (from the French. colonne — column and lat. titulus — label, title) is the header data (title, part, Chapter, section, etc.) placed on the text of each page of the book, newspaper, journal. In the case of an electronic document, the footer is a design element of the document located at the top or bottom field. It could be the title of the entire document, section or page number.

However, there are cases when the header and footer on different pages should be different, for example, when we are talking about different sections of the document, each with its own subtitle, or when you need to delete the number from the first page. 4 To ensure that the headers were different, it is necessary to divide a document into sections. To do this, place the mouse cursor on the document where you want to start a new section. 5 Enter the command "page Layout" and click the "Breaks".

Answer the following question using roughly two pages. Write using 1” margins, double spaced, and size 12 Times or Times New Roman font. Conduct a full formal analysis of a one to-three-minute segment from either The Awful Truth (Leo McCarey 1937) or To Be or Not to Be (Ernst Lubitsch 1942). Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s created an “assembly line” mode of efficient film production based in coherence and seamlessness, with “continuity editing” serving as the driving logic for this type of filmmaking. For this paper, you will analyze a short segment from either film and make an argument about how it demonstrates these characteristics of the Classical Hollywood Style. In order to do so, you will need to correctly use at least three relevant formal terms (i.e., shot types, categories of sound, terms for editing and camera movement) in order to analyze the scene in depth. Shot types – long shot, medium-long shot, medium shot, medium close-up, close-up, extreme close-up Categories of sound – diegetic sound, onscreen diegetic sound, offscreen diegetic sound, internal diegetic sound, external diegetic sound, non-diegetic sound Terms for editing – traditional cut, shot/reverse shot, eyeline match Camera movement – tracking shot, panning shot, crane shot, zoom You will need an introduction and a conclusion that frame your analysis with a clear argument, complete with a thesis statement. Your argument needs to show insight into what the film is doing. An example of a bad thesis statement would be: “Through shots, The Immigrant shows us that Charlie is out of money.” Ax example of a good thesis would be: “By establishing the space of the restaurant and cutting between the activities of the wait staff and The Trampâ€s (Charlie Chaplin) table, The Immigrant creates a sense of comic suspense about whether The Little Tramp will be able to pay for his meal.” Per the prompt, you are not merely analyzing a segment of one of these films. It needs to be a complete essay in which you use your analysis to present a coherent argument about what the film, or at least the scene, is accomplishing in your introduction and conclusion. Here is a guiding set of questions to form an argument that frames your analysis: What does the filmmaker accomplish by using all these formal tools together in terms of a) the filmâ€s narrative, b) the emotional resonance of the scene (how is it meant to make the viewer feel?), and/or c) in the development of the filmâ€s characters? Don’t go over one-to-three minutes of screen time, as this presents plenty of material for a two-page paper. Focusing on smaller segments will allow you to demonstrate your skills in film analysis with greater precision and detail. If the scene lasts longer than three minutes (as is often the case), write about the one-to-three minutes that you find most important. There is no wrong or right scene to analyze between these two films, and any segment from either of these films is eligible.

I would like to passthrough serial Data from RX pin to the USB port. Is this possible? I searched for passthrough but all I could found was from Serial0 to Serial1 on Arduino Mega etc. My build to understand it better (or having a better solution): I've build a midi "Fender Rhodes" keyboard which has 3 knobs for volume, bass and treble. These knobs are sending Serial Midi data over usb to the PC with an virtual Instrument installed. On the PC I use Hairless Midi to transform the Serial Midi Data into real Midi. That already works great and was very easy. Now I made an external midi effects board with 11 potentiometers and 5 switches. It uses another Arduino Nano and I want to transfer the data via an instrument cable to the Arduino in the keyboard. So its TX and GND on the effects board and RX and GND on the Keyboard ("Hello world" works). I thought: If its possible to receive serial midi data on the keyboards Nano (from the effects board) I can passthrough that data to the Usb and send it to the PC. Hope it is understandable what I try to do and that someone can point me in the right direction. Martin J-M-L November 23, 2021, 1:19pm #2 what do you mean by passthrough ? The Rx port on your Arduino is (simplistically) connected to the Tx port on the USB side . malte_entzmin November 23, 2021, 1:21pm #3 does that mean everything I receive on the RX pin is automatically send to usb/TX? J-M-L November 23, 2021, 1:22pm #4 from what you explain, I'd say you could write a small piece of code which listens on Serial (Rx) and transfers whatever it gets on Tx. void loop() { if (Serial.peek() != -1) Serial.write(Serial.read()); // rest of your code here } The wiring would need a bit of work (diode ?) probably as you are connected this way Tx (PC) ---> Rx (Arduino 1) <---- Tx (Arduino 2) MicroBahner November 23, 2021, 1:24pm #5 The problem is, that the Nano uses the serial line as interface to USB/PC. There is no free serial line. It may work if you don't send anything from PC to the Nano. But you alway have to disconnect your interface if you want to upload an updated sketch to the Nano. I would not recommend to do so. You can use a pro micro board ( with an ATmega32u4 ) instead of the Nano. The serial line is independent of the USB interface at this board, and the pro Micro can act as a true MIDI device at the USB port. You don't need Hairless MIDI in this case. MicroBahner November 23, 2021, 1:29pm #6 J-M-L: Tx (PC) ---> Rx (Arduino 1) <---- Tx (Arduino 2) Tx(PC) is the output of the USB-TTL interface, and there is a 1k resistor between Tx(PC) and Rx(Nano/Arduino1). If you connect Tx(Arduino2) directly to Rx of your Nano it will inhibit receiving anything from PC. That's why you must disconnect to upload a new sketch. J-M-L November 23, 2021, 1:34pm #7 That's why I'm saying The wiring would need a bit of work MicroBahner November 23, 2021, 1:37pm #8 Yes, and that's why I would recommend using a pro Micro instead of the Nano J-M-L November 23, 2021, 1:38pm #9 definitely a good choice. malte_entzmin November 23, 2021, 2:24pm #10 Trank you very much! I dont need to upload anything to the arduino and I can easily unplug the Instrument cable so there is nothing on the tx/rx Ports connected. Do I still need a diode? Or would it work just with the code and the Nano? If a Diode and a micro is better i can order one. It just would be nice if it works without. MicroBahner November 23, 2021, 2:47pm #11 malte_entzmin: I can easily unplug the Instrument cable If this is a MIDI cable, you need additional HW between cable and Rx pin and simply unplugging will not help. You don't need a diode. I would always use a micro for MIDI purposes. Not only because the serial line is not occupied by USB but also because the micro can behave as a true USB MIDI device. Hairless MIDI is just a crutch. But thats only my opinion malte_entzmin November 23, 2021, 10:27pm #12 Sorry! I had to work. Its just a normal 2 pin guitar cable which connectsTX->RX and GNG->GND. I tried the code and it works great! I still might get a Micro (I know Hairless MIDI is not the right way to do MIDI).

Jin Young Ko claimed a two stroke victory in the Evian Championship at Evian Resort Golf Club to take her second major of 2019, following the ANA Inspiration. The last time a player won multiple majors in one season was 2015, when Inbee Park won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and the AIG Women’s British Open. © Ladies European Tour Ko is projected to return to the top of the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings following her third win of the season. The 24-year-old from Seoul said: “It’s a really great honour to get my second major win of the year. Really I can’t believe it.” On returning to the World No.1 spot, she said: “Hopefully this time, I’ll get better and play better. I will always find motivation for my golf on the course.” Ko entered the final round four strokes behind third-round leader Hyo Joo Kim. Ko steadily went out in a 33 and carded three birdies on the back nine, while Kim slipped back after a bogey on No. 12 and an unfortunate triple bogey on the par-3 14th. Ko came out victorious after shooting a 4-under 67 in the rain and a trio of players finished in a tie for second at -13: Kim, Jennifer Kupcho and Shanshan Feng. ICYMI – Final round highlights from @EvianChamp where Jin Young Ko captured her second major of the 2019 LPGA season. Watch ==> pic.twitter.com/iC9mXOFATr — LPGA (@LPGA) July 28, 2019 “So I played really – not perfect, but a little bit perfect,” said the two-time major winner, laughing at herself. “And then I tried to be patient on the course. The weather was bad, raining, and then sometimes thunder, but I thought, ‘This is same condition as for the other players, so I will try make a birdie.’ Yeah, I had really great week.” Jin Young Ko’s caddie pays tribute to her consistency Moments after Jin Young Ko clinched her fifth career victory on the LPGA Tour at The Evian Championship on Sunday – making France the fourth different country in which she has emerged triumphant – her caddie Dave Brooker applauded her “phenomenal” consistency and distance control. “She can win anywhere,” Brooker said while watching Ko pose for the champion’s photographs alongside her trophy. “The things that impress most about her are her consistency and her ball-striking, as she showed today. She literally didn’t miss a shot in 18 holes. Her management of distance control because she just does not curve the ball: it’s phenomenal. I’ve never seen anything like it. Most great players I’ve worked for tend to work the ball one way or the other. She just hits everything dead straight and it seems to pay dividends because we have a lot of looks at birdie. The one shot she missed today was on 12, she just pulled a little bit, didn’t strike it well enough and pulled it left of the green. It was the only green we missed today. She chipped up to six feet and just lipped out.” Brooker is one of the most experienced caddies on the LPGA Tour and has now tasted five major championship victories during his career (two as caddie for Jin Young, two with Lorena Ochoa and one with Grace Park), but he was reluctant to make comparisons about who ranked as the best ball-striker. “It’s very difficult to say because they all have different styles,” said Brooker. “Grace was very dynamic, along the same lines as Lorena. Lorena was just making eagles and making birdies at will and hitting shots that other people couldn’t. Whereas Jin Young is more in the Annika (Sorenstam) mould with consistency and accuracy. It’s very difficult to compare one to the other but she’s definitely up there with the greats.” Special delivery for Jin Young Ko! 🇰🇷 @EvianChamp pic.twitter.com/BmwoNYtvEt — LPGA (@LPGA) July 28, 2019 Crazy week for rookie Jennifer Kupcho American Kupcho lit up the golf world earlier this year when she won the inaugural Augusta National Women’s Amateur and this week came just two strokes shy of adding a major professional victory to that amateur one. While standing over her putt on 18, Kupcho admitted to being more nervous than she was over her winning putt at Augusta. “I’d definitely say over that putt on 18 I was kind of freaking out. I had to take a couple deep breaths as I was lining it up, so…” she said with a laugh. This was just her eighth start as a professional and the exciting young talent went for the final green in two and birdied the 18th to put pressure on Ko. “As soon as I walked up to it there wasn’t a question in my mind that I was going to go for it,” said Kupcho of that decision to aim for the green in two, a new dilemma for the players after that hole was changed from a par 4 to a par 5 this year. “It’s crazy. I definitely played really well this week, and it’s exciting to see that I can compete where my game is right now,” said Kupcho. “I’m excited for the rest of the season.”

Rising business costs, import price pressures to drive up Singapore's core inflation - harvestmoonnews Skip to content harvestmoonnews Primary Menu World News Business Economy Politics Analysis & Comment Education Search for: Home Economy Rising business costs, import price pressures to drive up Singapore's core inflation Rising business costs, import price pressures to drive up Singapore's core inflation / 10/28/2021 SINGAPORE – Singapore’s core inflation will continue to rise over the coming quarters because of higher business costs and continued import price pressures, the central bank said in its latest macroeconomic review published on Thursday (Oct 28). The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) noted in its biannual review that while business cost pressures have been relatively contained so far, they are likely to pick up next year due to factors such as the tapering of government support measures. As the domestic economy reopens and private consumption picks up, these accumulating business costs will be passed on to consumers. On the external front, disruptions to global food production and consumer goods supply chains will likely take time to ease, it added. Inflated shipping and delivery costs, as well as material costs, that have weighed on firms’ margins could also be passed on to consumers in the coming year, especially if demand persists. For example, continued semiconductor chip shortages for at least another year could lead to the prices of consumer electronics remaining firm, MAS noted. The ongoing logistics crunch could continue to push global food prices higher, which would lead to Singapore’s imported food price inflation increasing further in the coming months and non-cooked food prices rising in turn. Singapore’s central bank tightened its monetary policy earlier this month in light of expected rising inflation, with the aim of ensuring price stability in the medium term. MAS has forecast core inflation – which excludes accommodation and private road transport costs – to rise to 1 per cent to 2 per cent next year. Overall inflation is projected to average between 1.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent. Core inflation in Singapore rose in the third quarter of 2021 due mainly to external factors such as higher energy and food prices. Rising wage costs were also likely reflected in the prices of some consumer services. In its review, the central bank noted that globally, inflation has risen faster in economies where demand recovery has been stronger, such as in the United States and the Eurozone. In contrast, the slower recovery in demand in many Asian economies has weakened the pass-through from the rise in upstream costs to consumers. More on this topic Demand for labour to rise in 2022 MAS said that Singapore’s labour market recovery remains broadly on track, even as heightened alert measures to curb Covid-19 infections had some temporary dampening effects in the second quarter of the year. Demand for resident and non-resident workers is expected to rise in 2022 as the economy expands at an “above-trend pace”, it added. However, it pointed out that the overall level of employment may not rise back to pre Covid-19 level even by the end of 2022, in part because firms are expected to raise labour productivity and demographic factors continue to weigh on resident workforce growth. Demand for resident and non-resident workers is expected to rise in 2022. PHOTO: ST FILE The central bank expects resident employment to continue expanding in 2022, although it could slow from this year as resident labour slack is further absorbed. “As the labour market tightens and business and worker confidence recovers alongside steady economic expansion, resident wage growth is anticipated to strengthen next year,” MAS said. Non-resident employment is also expected to stabilise and then rise gradually as Singapore progressively shifts towards managing Covid-19 as an endemic norm and as vaccination rates in the region improve, allowing more workers to enter. But MAS also cautioned that a significant setback on the path out of the pandemic or weaker-than-expected global growth could slow the pace of the labour market recovery in Singapore. Government policies aimed at improving the outcomes of lower-paid Singaporeans – such as the extension of the Progressive Wage Model to the retail sector and the extension of the Local Qualifying Salary requirement to all firms which employ foreign workers from September 2022 – will also add slightly to overall wage growth in the economy, MAS said. It highlighted that demand for labour will likely continue to rise at a firm pace in sectors such as information and communications, health and social services, and financial and insurance services. In these sectors, employment and job vacancies have both exceeded pre-pandemic levels, suggesting tightening in labour market conditions. There could also be higher non-resident wage costs for sectors where firms need to retain existing workers, such as in construction and manufacturing, MAS added.

‘My bones felt like they were made of crackers’: Tom Hanks describes his coronavirus symptoms as he insists wearing a mask ‘is literally the least people can do’ Tom Hanks has revealed he had ‘bone crushing fatigue’ during his battle with COVID-19 in March. Appearing virtually on The Late Show Tuesday night to promote his new film, the actor, 64, explained to host Stephen Colbert that he and his wife Rita Wilson had ‘very different’ symptoms after they contacted the virus during a trip to Australia,. The two stars were hospitalised after coming down with symptoms while taking a trip to Sydney during a filming break from Tom’s role in Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming Elvis movie. Symptoms: Tom Hanks has revealed he had ‘bone crushing fatigue’ during his battle with COVID-19 in March, explaining how his bones ‘felt like crackers’ Colbert asked Tom if the couple had worked out where they may have contracted COVID-19, but the actor admitted: ‘We had no idea how it could have happened, where it could have happened.’ He explained he began to feel ‘punky’ after returning to the movie location from a trip to Sydney, where Rita had performed at the Royal Opera House, while his wife was also ‘feeling bad’ with a headache. Tom noted that the two had very different symptoms — Rita had a high fever, headaches and lost her sense of smell and taste while he felt extreme fatigue. Explaining it took him eight or nine days to recover, Tom said during that time his bones ‘felt like they were made of soda crackers.’ Ill: Tom and his wife Rita Wilson made the news earlier this year as two of the first celebrities to come down with COVID-19, with Tom explaining he has still no idea where they contracted the virus ‘Bone crushing fatigue’: Appearing virtually on The Late Show Tuesday night, the actor, 64, explained to host Stephen Colbert that he and Rita had ‘very different’ symptoms ‘Everytime I moved around I felt like something was cracking inside me,’ he said, adding that he had ‘bone crushing fatigue’. He said that after he and Rita were diagnosed they were hospitalised before they were allowed to quarantine together in a rented house. Now that he has recovered, the actor cautioned he has no idea if he is immune or if he can contract the virus again. Wear a mask: Hanks, who was seen wearing a face covering while out with Rita in LA on June 7, is adamant that wearing a face covering is literally the least one can do ‘No one really knows what the x factor is,’ said the actor, adding that he has donated plasma for those who need it. Asked how he feels when he sees people not wearing masks, Tom was adamant that wearing a face covering is ‘literally the least you can do’, explaining that he wears a cloth bandanna, washes his hands and tries to stay six feet away from other people. Tom is currently promoting his new movie Greyhound, for which he also penned the screenplay. The film had been due for release in movie theatres in May but was pushed back to June 12 due to the coronavirus. However, with movie theatres still shuttered in the main across the country, Apple purchased the film for streaming release on its premium subscription service. The World War II story stars Hanks as a U.S. Navy Captain who is given command of a destroyer code-named Greyhound in his first wartime assignment. Despite his inexperience, he finds himself in charge of an allied convoy that’s being stalked by Nazi U-Boats.

Leveraging Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) for malicious attack detection (MAD) in IoT - IOT NGIN home ABOUT Project Partners Open Calls Open Calls for SMEs Open Calls for Evaluators PILOTS Trial #1 Trial #2 Trial #3 Trial #4 Trial #5 Trial #6 Trial #7 RESULTS Publications Deliverables Blogs&Media Blogs Media NEWS News Newsletters CONTACT Home Leveraging Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) for malicious attack detection (MAD) in IoT Leveraging Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) for malicious attack detection (MAD) in IoT May 24, 2021 In recent years, the use of Internet of Things (IoT) is continuously expanding, while IoT systems are encountered in applications from different domains, like smart cities, industry, agriculture, etc. IoT involves billions of connected devices, which can send and receive data through the internet. Although this interconnection is highly beneficial, it also makes IoT vulnerable to cyberattacks, challenging the security of such systems. In the IoT-NGIN project, a Malicious Attack Detector (MAD) is created with main aim to protect the IoT systems from attacks. MAD utilizes a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) based model to firstly learn the poisoning datasets and then detect the malicious activities. What are Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN)? Generative adversarial networks (GAN) are a type of neural network architecture for generative modelling. The GAN architecture was first introduced by Ian Goodfellow, et. al in the article “Generative Adversarial Networks” in 2014. GAN models are used for unsupervised learning, based on a 2-player game-theoretic scenario. The purpose of a GAN model is to learn the distribution and the patterns of the training data, in such a way that the model can generate new data with the characteristics of the training data. Practically, a GAN model is composed of two neural network models, the Generator and the Discriminator. The Generator is trained to produce believable fake data, while the Discriminator distinguishes the data as either real, from the domain, or fake, generated from the generator. Those two models compete with each other, since the Generator attempts to deceive the Discriminator, and the Discriminator tries not to be deceived. GANs are an exciting field, promising to generate realistic examples across a range of domains, such as in image-to-image translation task, generation of synthetic 2D and 3D objects or even for the generation of synthetic training data for ML models, in case the amount of data is insufficient for training. GAN models can be a successful candidate for anomaly detection, like fraud identification or malicious attack detection, when an adversarial attack is performed by hackers. Why is malicious attack detector (MAD) needed in IoT? Commonly, IoT networks contain many portable devices, like sensors, which are connected and communicate with each other, exchanging information everywhere, without any human intervention. The increasing scale of IoT networks as well as the fact that IoT devices are connected to the Internet, carrying private information, makes those systems vulnerable to multiple security threats. Therefore, the cybersecurity of IoT devices is of great concern. Cybersecurity is referring to all these methods that can be used to protect networks, systems and programs from digital attacks. Cyberattacks in IoT networks aim to access the IoT devices, alter or destroy the private data and the shared models. The majority of attacks are executed by malicious nodes; therefore, the detection of those malicious nodes in IoT networks is crucial. Without appropriate security measures, IoT systems are subject to vulnerabilities and IoT nodes can be harmed by malicious attacks. To protect the security of IoT networks in IoT-NGIN, MAD will be developed and integrated in the system to identify the malicious nodes. The development of effective MAD modules is extremely challenging since the attackers are becoming more and more innovative. The IoT-NGIN MAD module will be efficient, accurate and able to detect malicious nodes in real time. What can GAN do about MAD? To identify attacks and detect abnormal behavior of IoT devices and networks, machine learning models are utilized as powerful techniques for this purpose. Traditional supervised methods, like Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Decision Trees are used to classify normal and attack traffic, which indicates abnormalities. However, it is very common that the number of anomalous samples, namely attacks, are largely rarer than normal, leading to decision bias of these models. GAN models are able to successfully handle this case. Specifically, the strong generative ability of GAN models gives them the opportunity to learn the distribution of normal data and identify the abnormal data. Moreover, the GAN models can generate many different attacks, including also previously unidentified attacks, which would not normally be present in the dataset. Therefore, the GAN methods are very powerful in system cybersecurity, where unforeseen attacks and threats are regularly being developed. The exploitation of GAN allows the prediction of future attacks before they are even perceived in attackers’ mind. The IoT-NGIN MAD will exploit the advantages of GAN models to detect cyberattacks in IoT networks, by performing training on network logs, which will contain both normal activities and attacks, as well as on other poisoning datasets, including malignant activities for IoT systems.

Investment real estate I when you purchase or buy more properties to make your future secure or in other words you invest in various properties for better returns and side income. It is when you have your own house but you invest in many properties in the same city or different city in India or in any other country just so that you can give that flat, apartment, house on rent and could get rent every month. It is also applicable when you own or buy or invest in a place or a land and something is built up on that land and you take rent from them which again constitutes as your side income. This all in the end secures your future and gives you more disposable income or rather savings. One considers this a very good opportunity and a very good source of income and it is a very good source of income but this should always be kept as the side income and not the primary one. Hence investment real estate is known as the secondary job by most people. There are some people who are rather interested in making this their primary source and as long as that person is ready to risk all his financial assets and everything else on this, nothing seems like a problem. There is something called as residential real estate which mainly deals with all the properties, houses, apartments, flats and different types of human habitats and their main purpose is to earn profit from their investment unlike this where the person asks for rent but also is giving something in return to the leaser. Real estate generates income for people who have specialized in this field and who have taken this up as their main and primary income. But it also benefits the people who have multiple properties in the same city or different like in this case. The additional houses can be given on rent or for some other purposes through which a monthly income is generated and person gets additional income. This all has been discussed already. The biggest difference here in residential real estate and investment real estate is that the tax implication for both of them is different. Upcoming residential projects are something that the people specializing in this are looking for. Ahmedabad city has been a very beneficial city in the past few years and hence this city has been having a lot of new developments and people coming up for investment real estate. There are new flats in Ahmedabad. There has been a sudden rise of these new flats in Ahmedabad and upcoming residential projects. The investors have to have a keen eye on all the upcoming residential projects to avail the best and to invest in the best property possible. The benefits here are that the new flats in Ahmedabad come with all the necessary things installed and so people will be keen to buy them. In this race, if you want to be the winner than you need to have a close look on all these upcoming properties and chalk out the best of them. One way to keep an eye on all the new flats in Ahmedabad and upcoming residential projects is the real estate portal website which gives you all the information about the project. Going through them once will hardly take up your half an hour of your day but you get to know all the upcoming residential projects and the new flats in Ahmedabad with ease and comfort of your recliner chair.

As you know, the PUC issued an PUC’s Order – Referral to OAH in which the AWA Goodhue wind project was sent to an Administrative Law Judge to address the following issues: 1. The ALJ assigned to this matter is requested to develop a record on every standard in Article 18 that is more stringent than what the Commission has heretofore applied to LWECS and make recommendations regarding each such standard whether the Commission should adopt it for Large Wind Energy Conversion Systems in Goodhue County. The Commission has identified two such standards in this Order (Section 4 and Section 6) but is not by this Order restricting the ALJ from developing the record and making recommendations regarding additional standards in Article 18 that upon further examination meet the “more stringent” qualification. 2. The ALJ assigned to this matter is requested to allow the parties to develop a factual record on the question of “good cause” as that term appears in Minn. Stat. § 216F.081 and to provide recommendations on whether, with respect to each standard in Article 18 identified in the course of her review as “more stringent” than what the Commission has heretofore applied to LWECS, there is “good cause” for the Commission to not apply the standard to siting LWECS in Goodhue County. 3. As the ALJ addresses the issues identified in the previous two sections, the ALJ is requested to include (but not limited to, by this Order) whether there is sufficient evidence regarding health and safety to support a 10 rotor diameter set-back for non-participating residents and the stray voltage requirements. AWA Goodhue is not happy about this, and have filed this: AWA Goodhue’s Motion for Summary Disposition Here are a couple snippets for the gist of their argument: … the county’s ordinance applies only to small wind projects up to 5 MW and therefore does not set standards that apply to the AWA Goodhue project. In addition, because the county has chosen not to regulate wind projects up to 25 MW, it has no authority under Minn. Stat. § 216F.081 to adopt “more stringent wind standards” and, as a result, there are no county standards for the Commission to consider or apply… Interpreting the statute so that it is limited only to counties that have assumed permitting authority for projects up to 25 MWs is the most reasonable interpretation in light of the established regulatory framework for siting wind turbines in Minnesota. The legislature has designated the Commission as the primary siting authority for large energy projects, including LWECS.13 Even in the limited circumstance where a county assumes responsibility for permitting LWECS under 25 MWs, the default under section 216F.08(c) is that the Commission’s general siting standards (which are based on the Commission’s expertise and past experience) apply unless the county adopts more stringent standards. It is wholly inconsistent with this framework to then read section 216F.081 to require the Commission, when making a decision on a project located in a county that has not adopted permitting authority, to apply the county’s more stringent standards. Moreover, it makes little sense for a county to adopt standards for LWECS if the county has no intention of regulating LWECS (up to 25 MW) in the first place. And, it makes even less sense for the Commission to have to apply those standards if the county itself is not inclined to do so. Last, interpreting section 216B.081 to allow any county to adopt more stringent standards is at odds with section 216F.07, which expressly states that a site permit from the Commission preempts all county rules, regulations and ordinances. Rules of statutory construction require that every law be interpreted, to the extent possible, to give effect to all of its related provisions.14 Accordingly, to give effect to section 216F.07, county standards must be applied only where a county has assumed permitting authority for LWECS up to 25 MW. Any other interpretation would allow the exception to swallow the general rule. We have to respond by January 14, 2010!

Hanoi's vegetation has significantly mitigated urban heat and contributed to improving the living environment of local residents. Over the past few years, the tree planting campaign has significantly improved Hanoi city’s environment, Kinhtedothi.vn reported. Under the million-tree planting program, trees and flowers have been grown on the sidewalks. The vegetation has significantly mitigated urban heat and contributed to improving the living environment of local residents. In particular, the program of planting one million trees is aimed at making Hanoi greener. With determination and efforts of the municipal government’s and related units, the program’s targets have been achieved ahead of time. In the period of 2019 - 2020, Hanoi aims to plant another 600 thousand trees. According to environmental experts, more trees in the capital not only refresh the air, but shades the streets, preventing sunlight, curbing the harmful effects of radiation on people, especially in hot days. Expanding greenery system is one of the tasks performed by functional forces in recent years. Trees planted by Cau Giay district are becoming shady. The maple trees on Tran Duy Hung - Nguyen Chi Thanh route. Although the trees’ leaves have not turned into red, they have grown steadily. The maple trees on Tran Duy Hung street creates a highlight for the route. The maple trees are expected to embellish Hanoi’s streets.

The proportion of people with Covid antibodies has risen by 10% in a month (Picture: Reuters/AFP/AP/PA/Rex) Nine in ten adults in most parts of the UK have antibodies that shield them from Covid, official data shows. Random blood tests carried out nationwide revealed the defences people have built up after becoming infected or being vaccinated. The proportion with antibodies — which has risen by about 10% in a month — is roughly in line with the percentage who have received at least one vaccine dose. Blood testing by the Office for National Statistics found 89.8% of over-16s in England have some immunity to the bug – up from 79.6% in May. However the presence of these virus fighting molecules is not a ‘precise measure’. This is because it remains unclear how long they linger in the bloodstream, the Office for National Statistics cautioned. Results showed 97% of people aged 60 to 79 tested positive for antibodies – the highest rate out of all the age groups. The rise in people with antibodies is roughly in line with the percentage who’ve had at least one dose of the vaccine (Picture: PA) Only six in ten of those aged 16 to 24 have natural immunity, meaning millions of younger adults are still vulnerable to catching the virus. Experts believe around 85% of the overall population needs antibodies to achieve herd immunity. Senior Statistician for the COVID-19 Infection survey, Kara Steel, said: ‘Today’s figures show the vast majority of adults across the UK now have some level of protection against COVID-19. ‘As restrictions are eased further, this protection will hopefully help to protect many people developing severe symptoms. ‘Continuing to monitor how antibody and infection levels change in the coming months through our survey is crucial, so I’d like to thank everyone on the study for their ongoing contribution.’ Experts say around 85% of the population needs antibodies to achieve herd immunity (Picture: AAPIMAGE) The encouraging signs emerged as a further, 32,548 people were diagnosed with the virus, and another 33 deaths were reported. It was the highest number of daily cases since January 23 when, when there were 1,348 deaths – illustrating how jabs are protecting people from serious illness. But the Labour Party went on the attack over the Government’s decision to put all of its faith in vaccine – axing most Covid restrictions, including mask-wearing, from July 19. Opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer described the move as ‘reckless’, saying there could be ‘a summer of chaos’ if cases hit 100,000 a day as forecast by Health Secretary Sajid Javid. He said: ‘Let’s be clear why infection rates are so high — because the prime minister let the Delta, or we can call it the Johnson variant, into the country. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video ‘Let’s be clear why the number of cases will surge so quickly — because he is taking all protections off in one go.’ Boris Johnson dismissed claims that people would delete the Covid app to avoid having to self-isolate. He defended the relaxation by saying scientists ‘are absolutely clear we have severed the link between infection and serious disease and death’. On Monday, his chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance was more cautious, saying vaccines had ‘weakened the link’. Meanwhile, provisional results from Imperial College London’s REACT study showed how jabs cut chances of even mild infection. Only 0.35% of double-jabbed people aged under 64 tested positive, compared with 1.15% of unvaccinated people.
