Social-Savvy Sneakers and More of This Week's Best Menswear Releases Cop some cool stuff that’s all about spreading joy. Omicron. Ukraine. Betty White. If we look at the headlines, the new year hasn’t started off as well as we would have liked. We expected 2022 to be different, especially coming from what feels like a decade of complete misery. But let’s be hopeful; it doesn’t do any good to dwell in a state of depression. Think positively and take the steps to really enhance whatever we need enhancing. Yes, making a list of ephemeral resolutions in January is a trope, but here we are, going through the motions. And here to help us look at the glass half full are this week’s latest drops. We have some playful pants from a collab between Creature World’s Danny Cole and Advisry. Converse is reminding us of our formative years, partnering with Pokemon on an All Star sneaker that is selling out faster than the Game Boy Color back in 1998. Vans by Vault also has some bright shoes that are primed for Instagram. The Brooklyn Circus has a varsity jacket that symbolizes abundance and gratitude. And Bally’s latest capsule with illustrator Jun Chen is all about positive change and good fortune. Let’s all take this moment to eschew doom and gloom, and cop some stuff that’s all about spreading joy. Also, it’s Friday, so at least we have the weekend to look forward to. Social media has become a force unlike any other. Commenting on its dominance, from the good to the bad, over the zeitgeist is Cali Thornhill DeWitt, an artist who gathers phrases and headlines from the deep recesses to create photographs, music videos, zines, and prints. Now, he has a a new medium: shoes. Dewitt has partnered with Vans on a seven-piece collection that takes his aesthetic and places it on the brand's signature kicks: the Sk8-Hi, Era, Chukka, Old Skool, and Slip-On. Getting in tip-top shape is the most common New Year's resolution—one that usually doesn't last past January. But thanks to Myles, you just may be encouraged to follow through with your goal. Just take a look at its new Momentum track pant; if the the name doesn't get you moving, the four-way stretch performance fabric and tailored cut certainly will. Speaking of momentum, Skagen has released the Falster Gen 6 smartwatch. The new timepiece is powered by the Snapdragon Wear 4100+ platform, a technology that will respond to your movements much faster than previous installments. It is also features a water-resistant speaker and microphone, along with upgraded health and wellness sensors. Kith, Nike, and the New York Knicks are playing ball again. The Swoosh has partnered with the basketball team on a collection exclusively sold at the New York-based retailer—the second time the trio has joined forces. Called City Edition Uniform, the new line—which includes an update of the Air Force 1, along with tees, sweats, and outerwear—celebrates the 75th anniversary of the NBA. Tower 28 is taking another step toward sustainability. The Los Angeles-based clean beauty brand has released its best-selling facial spray in a bottle that is made of 100 percent post-consumer recycled plastics. By 2023, the brand plans on extending the use of PCR to all its products. Indeed, the orange packaging, inspired by a lifeguard’s buoy, is doing the most to save the planet. It's a big year for Pokémon; the franchise is celebrating 25 years of capturing the hearts of kids—and the dollars of their parents. And to commemorate the media behemoth, Converse has released a collection of its All Star sneakers, along with caps, backpacks, and tops that feature the anime's OG cast. Just released today, many styles have already sold out. So, to paraphrase Ash Ketchum, you gotta catch 'em while you can. When it comes to the varsity jacket, it really doesn't get any better than one from The Brooklyn Circus. For 15 years, the brand has been refining the style, offering variations that have greater meaning than what is seen on the surface. Its latest drop, for example, features distressed naked cow leather leather-sleeves and eye-catching red melton wool front and back panels that are inspired by cranberries, which symbolize abundance and gratitude. And we can think of no better way to start the new year than with a topper that evokes that message. Come February 1, we will enter the year of the tiger—specifically the water tiger. And to celebrate the start of the calendar in the Chinese zodiac, Bally has enlisted illustrator Jun Cen to create an exclusive collection. The capsule line includes a key ring, wallet, card holder, cross-body bag, and a backpack that feature an artful motif of the jungle cat done in calming shades of blue, gray, and cream, which is meant to represent positive change and good fortune. When artist Danny Cole, the mastermind behind Creature World, and Advisry's Keith Herron first met, they instantly saw a shared aesthetic between them—one that's colorful, playful, and full of humor. This is evident in their latest collection, their second since 2020, which features lively knits, tees, caps, and a pair of canvas pants will have all eyes on you. Looking to up your grooming routine in the new year? Korres has just the thing. The beauty brand has released its Santorini Grape Poreless skin cream, which is made of a vegan-friendly formula that is hypoallergenic and rich with antioxidants. A jean that clings ain't going nowhere; don't let the detractors tell you otherwise. It's a staple—a sentiment that Mott & Bow fully backs. Just take a look at the the name of its new form-fitting denim. If you're in need of backpack, Eastpak has just what you need. The brand has been making some of the best for years, but this season, they're even better. That's thanks to Eastpak joining forces with Depop on the "Re-Rebuilt to Resist Collection," a new lineup of styles made of upcycled materials.

The Philadelphia native is a Temple University/Second City-born, internet-bred comedy phenom. Though you know you probably most recognize her face from A Black Lady Sketch Show, or even those viral Buzzfeed videos you used to share with your cool co-workers a couple of years back, Brunson solidified herself as a fixture in the culture with her Girl Who Has Never Been on a Nice Date Instagram series way back in 2014. If you’re not immediately familiar, just know that she’s the one to thank for the phrase, “Oh, he got monneeeeyyyyy” being eternally added to the collective Black girl lexicon. Brunson’s rise from viral Instagram shares to creator and star of her own primetime network comedy rocketed in a mere six-year time frame. But Brunson notes that while virality is helpful, it’s far from all a young comedian needs to take them to the next level. “I think sometimes there’s this narrative, “oh, you go viral and then…ABC calls you,” she said. “But that’s not what happens.” While social media buzz helped point her in this direction, preparation in her craft and laying foundations with fellow comedians and networks is what steered her to the destination. “I was practicing this – writing, comedy, show-creation – before going viral. That was just a byproduct of the work I was already doing,” she said. For a long time, one of the main outlets was stage for comedians, whether that be stand-up or improv,” she added, likening social media to just another stage on which to showcase her work. “As the outlets continue to change, new things get invented every day, there become more and more stages to share with the world what you can do.” That astute eye for opportunities to showcase her skill has led Brunson to ABC for her brainchild, Abbott Elementary. The half-hour single-camera comedy goes inside an underfunded Philadelphia elementary school. We follow Janine Teagues, an optimistic, although naive 2nd-grade teacher who’s been on the job for one year and believes she can make a positive change, one student at a time. A product of the Philly school system herself, Brunson says her show was mainly inspired by her own mother, who worked as a teacher in the Philadelphia school district for 40 years. She even attended the school her mother worked at all through elementary, witnessing firsthand all the additional energy her mother poured into her role for two or more hours after the end of each school day. “The way she cared for her students beyond just teaching them how to read, she became so many different jobs and roles,” Brunson recalls. “That really is what inspired me to go there, because I just felt that it was such a rich world that hadn’t really been tapped into yet.” Though the show was developed three years ago, before COVID-19 brought the classroom to the living room then sent teachers and students back to the halls of learning in a now high-risk environment, Abbott Elementary sees some special significance as the plight of educators has become a hot button forefront topic. Still, Brunson’s mother was the viewer she sought initial approval from. Thankfully, she got it. “She was a huge test for me because my mom is both not easy to impress [but she also] knows it’s based off of some of her experiences,” she said. “I expected her to be critical, and she was. But…she loved it. She was just…like ‘wow,’ amazed with what we were able to portray on screen. And she just thought it was funny, which was the most important to me.” Brunson’s plucky and optimistic Janine is juxtaposed against a group of somewhat jaded experienced teachers. In particular, you have Sheryll Lee Ralph as Barbara Howard, the multi-decade veteran educator who has seen it all and expects the worst from the school system. The dichotomy between the two makes for different approaches to the same problems, and a unique way of tackling issues plaguing the school that may actually bring about real change. Brunson sees the juxtaposition as an opportunity to shed light on the generational debate of gen-z vs. millennials vs. boomers, and how working together outvalues thinking your personal approach must be best. “I think there’s this optimism that comes naturally with youth,” she observes. “I know millennials in particular, [can be] very much, ‘I’m going to do this thing and no one’s ever tried it before. It must not have been done.’ And it’s like, no, there are people who have tried before,” she continued. “They’ve been at it for years, and that’s why they’re jaded. They’re knee-deep in the game. And they’ve seen it all and done it all. But I think there’s value to mixing those worlds together.” Brunson was not only driven by sharing the story at the heart of Abbot Elementary’s dry, awkward realist comedy, but by providing an avenue for Black actors to just play regular people for a change – not a heightened caricature of gangster or glam. “I think that’s really fun for us, as Black actors,” she said. “It’s weird, sometimes we’re not afforded that space. It’s very interesting.” “For creators, the question is often ‘what do I want to spend my time with?’ What stories would I like to spend my time with for the foreseeable future? And I felt that way about this,” she said. Abbott Elementary premieres tonight at 9:30 ET/8:30 Central on ABC.

Boosting human capital development in the Western Balkans On 3-4 June the education ministers of the Western Balkans countries gathered in Belgrade for the 8th Ministerial Meeting on Education and Training, co-hosted by Serbian Minister Šarčević. Erasmus+ and students exchanges: a growing trend Opening the event, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport, Tibor Navracsics congratulated the Serbian National Agency for having successfully joined Erasmus+ as a fully-fledged member in 2019. Presenting the new strategy for the Western Balkans, he highlighted that it “has injected significant momentum, bringing more funding for activities and cooperation in the field of education, culture, youth and sport”. Commissioner Navracsics added that the European Commission has also adopted its proposal for the future Erasmus programme for academic mobility and cooperation. “We have proposed to double the budget – bringing it to €30 billion for the period 2021 to 2027. Some of these funds will continue to deepen cooperation in education between the EU and the Balkans even further”. Since 2015, the EU has supported more than 27,000 student and staff exchanges in the higher education sector to and from the Western Balkans. Vocational education to tackle skills needs The meeting was attended by Cesare Onestini, ETF Director, who put vocational education and training under the spotlight, as a key aspect in the development of human capital in the region. By presenting the outcomes of the Torino Process – a participatory process leading to an analysis of human capital development issues and vocational education and training policy responses in different countries – he stressed the relevance of offering people a fast-track from school to work, in a lifelong learning perspective. “Low fertility rates, ageing populations and migration are all taking a toll on the availability of skilled labour in the region as in many other European countries. Even if efforts are made to improve the relevance of upper secondary and tertiary education, better education levels do not always translate into better skills. This is because they often lack practical learning, there are insufficient links between education provision and job requirements and there is not enough lifelong learning. Young graduates”, he added, “sometimes spend years searching for jobs, which often do not match the level and profile of qualifications. Women, young and vulnerable groups are disproportionately affected by unemployment and inactivity”. Western Balkans, getting ready for the future of work Highlighting the rapidly changing job market, Cesare Onestini focused on the disruption that this is having on ordinary citizens. “On top of anticipating and managing future trends in work, economies and societies, the countries of the region are also having to deal with the effects of economic transition and the legacy of the past. Structural adjustments over the last decades have resulted in significant numbers of workers with skills that do not fit the needs of new jobs”, he concluded. Discussions on education developments in the region will continue at the forthcoming Poznan Summit that is part of the Berlin Process, in July. Did you like this article?

Branded Safety Glasses used to be the trend back in time. But today, they are more of a necessity. Aesthetics are enough for the trends. But as far as necessities are concerned, they require some standards to be compliant with. Standards that ensure the credibility of eyewear. But what those standards actually are? Well, ANSI Standards are there to ensure the credibility of eyewear. These are the standards that are validated worldwide. Branded Safety Glasses are following these standards to ensure the standards in accordance with the customers’ requirements. What Impact Would ANSI Standards Incur? ANSI stands for American National Standard Institute that has been providing the standards for optical products. These standards are there to ensure that eyewear is formulated keeping in view qualitative characteristics regarding frame, lenses, and design of the glasses. Safety Eyewear Frames make a great combination for an appealing product. If all these things are formulated in the product in the best way possible, the outcomes would indeed be better and appealing. Design is the Key There comes the turn of the design. Design is the foremost thing that attracts the audience. When RX Safety Glasses were launched for the very first time, they broke the barrier of million eyewear in just a matter of days. How dis that come to pass? It was inspiring the global audience on account of an appealing design that it possessed. A good design is that interprets the intent of the audience in the best way possible. There are a few brands that have gone too far on account of their design. Wiley X Protective Eyewear, Hudson Safety Glasses, and ArtCraft Protective Eyeglasses appear to the best names in this regard who have been ruling the mainstream of optical industry at best. Don’t Forget the Features Then comes the turn of features. Features are mandatory aspects of the eyewear. Lenses of the glasses should be the scratch-resistant. It should have glare in the lenses. Above all, the repellent layers are the most important in the lenses. Because these layers are the only thing that rests between your eye and UV Radiations. These layers protect the eyes from these hazardous rays. ANSI Safety Glasses are the best interpretation of these standards that ensure the credibility of eyeglasses. Online Platforms Are Making the Difference Today, online platforms have been doing great to let the optical brands outreach their global audience. Online RX Eyeglasses set the precedence of online eyewear. Since then, a lot of global brands have been using online platforms. When it comes to the platforms, Eyeweb.com, Zenni and Glasses USA are the best platforms that have been entertaining the audience around the globe. Final Words All these aspects are that help the audience to get the best out of an optical product. If these features are harnessed in the product, the outcome eyewear would be surprising, appealing and fascinating for the audience. That’s what the audience is looking at Branded Safety Glasses in the first place. Leave your comment

Karo Syrup for Constipation: Not a Thing Karo syrup is a brand of corn syrup that was once widely recommended for helping babies poop. However, according to the Mayo Clinic, this kind of dark corn syrup doesn't contain the same chemical structure that once allowed it to soften stool. If your baby is constipated, it's best to consult your doctor. He or she can recommend a course of treatment. Honey for Coughs: Sort of a Thing On this one, the Mayo Clinic basically says it's worth a try. Studies have shown that it may help ease nighttime coughs in toddlers. In my experience, if a kid is coughing because junk is draining from their sinuses, they're going to keep coughing until the junk goes away. It's the mucus irritating their throat that's making them cough. Ice Baths for Fevers: Not a Thing This is another no-no. You can give your child a luke-warm sponge bath after they take a fever-reducer, but never give them a cold-water or ice bath. You'll bring their temperature down too quickly. Aspirin for Fevers: DEFINITELY Not a Thing When your kid gets a fever, there are fever reducers your doctor may recommend, like infant or children's ibuprofen or acetaminophen (Tylenol). But aspirin will definitely NOT be one of them. When your babies, kids and teens are at a higher risk for something called Reye's Syndrome when they have a viral infection. It's rare, but it's extremely dangerous, causing swelling in the brain and liver, according to Mayo. Giving them aspirin for the accompanying fever further increases that risk. If your kid has a fever, talk to your doctor about what and how much fever-reducer to give. Steam or Cool Air for Croup: A Thing Finally! A thing! Steam or cool air do help ease that barking cough kids get when they have croup, especially at night. Both my kids have had croup, and I've used this one myself. You can either use a cool-mist humidifier, or run the shower to make the bathroom all steamy. If you do the shower, though, don't leave your kid in for more than 10 minutes. If it's a cool night, open the window and let the cool air hit their face. Remedies to cure and ease ailments aren't the only things that change. So do the foods you think may keep your kid from getting sick. Find out which foods actually help your kid fight off colds and flu and which ones don't.

In the winter of 2017, Feltman’s of Coney Island existed as a small take-out window [behind a tavern] on St. Marks Place, the rebel heart of New York City’s East Village. As my brother Michael put it, Feltman’s had gone “from the largest restaurant in the world to the smallest kitchen on St Marks Place.” St. Marks is the gritty cultural hub of the East Village, and the location drew a kaleidoscope of characters, from punk rock-kids and artists to Wall Street suits. But on a cold Tuesday night in February, my favorite character of all-time, my good friend Tony, walked into the tavern. Tony was supportive of our little venture from the beginning, but as he walked in the door and surveyed the depressing scene, I saw the disconcertion in his eyes. People weren't exactly lining up for hot dogs in NYC’s Mecca for weekend warriors on a cold Tuesday night in February. Michael and I served up some ‘dogs and drinks for Tony, and sat with him yucking it up. Then, while the bartender poured Absinthe over a flamed sugar cube behind us, Tony asked a question that would change the trajectory of our business: “What’s your target?” We started to describe our target market when Tony stopped us to further explain: “What’s the main product you are selling? Picture a dart board, what’s at the center?” In unison, we said, “hot dogs.” But there, in the current incarnation of Feltman’s, we weren’t selling hot dogs. Our restaurant/kitchen take-out window, which was probably a bad one at that, simply wasn’t hitting the target. It was a crystalizing moment because for the better part of that year, we’d seen more and more potential customers arrive at our take-out window, and say that they didn’t want a cooked hot dog on a bun, but instead offered to pay as much as $20 for one cold 6-pack of our hot dogs. I went home and stayed up all night building FeltmansOfConeyIsland.com through the WIX website builder platform. The next day, Michael and I purchased a printer, packed the fridge in his studio apartment (which was conveniently located above a UPS store) with stacks of our hot dogs, and put out the word on Facebook that Feltman’s hot dogs were now being shipped nationwide. And then, we waited. And waited. And waited some more. Finally, on February 7th 2017, James Quigly, order #0001, became our first online customer. Yes, James happens to be a close family friend--but an order is an order. We printed out the order form, wrote him a personal thank you note, and boxed it up in Michael’s apartment. Then we took it downstairs and shipped it UPS all the way to Brooklyn. As I tell this story, we’ve just hit our 5,000th online order--and while our web designer is much better now, and we are no longer shipping out of Michael’s apartment, our core target is still the same: to share Feltman’s hot dogs with as many people who want them. From the first order to the last, thanks for all the support, both in the past and into the future. The Quinn Brothers

After discovering the hard way that Malta’s famous Azure window arch had fallen into the sea a year prior, my husband and I were stood on the Maltese island of Gozo with no plans, limited cash and baffled looks on our faces. My solution, (which I’ll confess is the same in most scenarios), was to look for the nearest place to get a glass of wine. Google showed a vineyard on the north of the island. We didn’t have high expectations, I’d never heard of Maltese wine; and it isn’t even mentioned in Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson’s ‘The World Atlas of Wine’ (7th edition). Still, the vineyard was on dry ground and only a short bus trip away, so off we went to the Ta’Mena estate. Stepping off the bus, we immediately fell into the vineyard. We were greeted with rows and rows of trellises which gently guided the heavy leaf canopy as it provided shelter for the growing grapes from the hot Mediterranean sun. The proximity to the sea means the vineyards benefit from some cooling influences to the long hot days, but canopy management is clearly important here. We were warmly welcomed to the family run Ta’Mena estate and were invited to try their wines in a charming rustic farm shop, which, due to the historic ties and proximity of the two islands, was filled with gorgeous Maltese and Sicilian produce. One of the wines they eagerly and proudly poured us was a barrel aged San Antonin Syrah, which was certified as GOZO D.O.K (their highest classification, indicating all the grapes were grown on the island of Gozo). It was wonderful. A very intense red wine with flavours of berry and pepper, and a delicious chocolatey after taste. I was beyond impressed. We purchased some Gozitan pies and sat outside amongst the vines to enjoy the wine and soak it all in. I learnt there are two native grapes grown in Malta; Girgentina (a white skinned, crisp and fruity variety) and Ġellewża (a plummy, violet red skinned grape), as well as the international varieties which these native grapes are often blended with. Yet, Maltese wine is a Mediterranean treat which they keep to themselves. The little island doesn’t produce wines for export, and the best way to get your hands on it is to go there. However, given the quality and the passion for the wine I serendipitously experienced on the island, it might be time for Jancis and Hugh to update their World Atlas…..

In this brief article, we will go over the legality of playing with these mobile gaming applications from either a Windows or iPhone perspective. The fact is that there are mobile casinos operating online and therefore there’s also a legal aspect to consider. Free. Online Casino Slots – Get Free Spin There are a lot of misconceptions and myths about online casino slots, despite the fact that online gambling has grown into one of the most popular pastimes around the world today. Many believe that there are a lot of loopholes and cheats that exist in online slot machines, hoping to take advantage of players who aren’t aware about them. It is true that there are some untruthful players who attempt to influence slot players via payment gateway sites, where they can deposit money without the player’s consent or knowledge. Slot machines are safe and you will not be swindled in the majority of cases. There are a variety of reasons to believe that online casino slots for real money are a risk and can steal your funds, but after all they’re not safe when you play games for free for fun in a reputable online casino that is licensed by authorities in the area and with the highest quality of customer reviews. In this respect online free slots are not different from real money slots. Online casinos that provide free slots are likely offer attractive bonuses, which means that players will be enticed to play more. Casino games are dependent on luck. There is no way of knowing whether a machine will hit a jackpot. If it does, only choose wisely. Slots online are designed to entertain you and if you don’t like gambling, you can always choose to sit at home and wait until the next jackpot season rolls around. There are online casino games that are designed to resemble slots found in casinos, and players may assume that they are safe. However, even if they’re programmed to appear as though they are part of a real-life game, it’s not a great idea to play them with money. Online games that are free and “no deposit” slots can be very appealing because the odds of winning are high. Since you’ve nothing to lose. But what happens if you try to cash out at the end of the day? Here are some suggestions to help you avoid losing money online while playing “free” slots. Avoid playing “no deposit” online slot machines that have the chance to win a small amount. The chances of winning the “big jackpot” that you dream about are not likely. These smaller jackpots may be the right choice for you If you’re willing to gamble a few dollars once in a while. If you’re looking for big money, don’t play these “small” slots. Slots that are located on land have higher odds of winning huge amounts of money. Websites that claim play backgammon online to offer progressive jackpots should be avoided. If you’re hoping to win real cash, you shouldn’t play with these machines. At the most you can win a single jackpot prize. Even so, your odds of winning the jackpot are not very good. Don’t try to beat the odds by playing games with no cost. Many people believe they can fool casinos online by playing “no deposit” slots for the duration of time it takes. This is a bad idea. Why? Because you risk losing a lot of money when you try. It’s true that you can increase your chances of winning by playing more online slot machines. But the best way to increase your chances of winning is to stay away from gambling in casinos in general. Land-based gambling establishments have better advantages over online casinos because they do not have any type of gambling license. However, there’s no guarantee that you’ll win every time you play in a land-based casino. Casinos online do allow certain winnings to be retained by the casino as ‘entertainment expenses’. Although some websites don’t list what these “entertainments” are, it’s safe to assume they are sign-up bonuses as well as online spins. These bonuses governor of poker encourage players to play more. In the end, you get more spins and increase your winnings.

Loki: A villain’s self-cultivation, Tom Hiddleston made the Marvel universe “God of Trick”. “I, Loki, Prince Asgard, son of Odin, king of Jotunheim, god of mischief.” In “Avengers3”, Loki, who played 3 minutes and 15 seconds, summed up his life before he died. Later, Thanos was smashed to death in front of Thor, “This time he will not be resurrected again.” Known as the “God of Trick” and likes to prank, Loki always wore the hat of a villain in the MCU, but always swayed back and forth between good and evil, good and evil. Related Post:Marvel’s “Loki” reveals character posters,the last episode will be launched this week. He can use Thanos to invade the earth, and his desire to conquer is overwhelming. He is also willing to give up the infinite gems and sacrifice himself for his brother Thor. Loki, with his varied physique, is actually a very tragic character. With the blood of the orthodox gods and peerless appearance, his popularity is not even worse than those of the positive heroes in the “Reunion”. Sometimes even grabbing the light of the protagonist, he is the most popular villain or anti-hero character in the Marvel Universe, and has been “resurrected” many times as a result. The upcoming episode of “Loki” on Disney+, Loki is “resurrected” again. The story follows the whereabouts of Loki after stealing space gems in “Avengers 4” in 2019. Loki in the main timeline has been killed by Thanos in “Avengers 3”. Loki in the series traveled back from the time of the first “Avengers” in 2012. It is Loki’s “parallel universe” version. Since Marvel’s “Wanda Vision” and “Falcon and the Winter Soldier” launched by Marvel in the first half of the year are more controversial, it is not as amazing as expected. The new drama “Loki” also makes people have to be cautious and conservative. However, it is reported that after watching the first two episodes of “Loki” by foreign media critics in advance, word-of-mouth on social media has exploded. At present, the freshness of rotten tomatoes is as high as 96% (55 reviews), and the average MTC score is 73 (21 reviews). The performance is gratifying. I hope this time it will really bring surprises. Let’s review the past and present of “God of Prank” Loki. Why did “Loki” choose to air on Wednesday? Some ideas of the Marvel universe benefited from ancient Norse mythology. In Norse mythology, Thor Thor is the son of Odin, and Loki and Odin are righteous brothers. In this way, Loki and Sol are regarded as uncles and nephews, rather than unrelated brothers in Marvel. Thursday’s saying comes from the name of Thor, who is a bit like Zeus, using lightning as a weapon. Wednesday’s teaching principle originated from Odin, who is called Wōden in Germanic mythology. “Loki” chose to go live on Wednesday, instead of “Wanda Vision” and “Falcon and the Winter Soldier” airing on Friday. According to Asad Ayaz, the president of Disney’s marketing department, it was because in the Marvel universe, Odin was Loki’s adoptive father, and Loki eventually accepted his identity as the son of Odin. Related Post:Hiddleston Appears at the London Screening of Marvel’s New Play “Loki”. In order to express this meaning, the show is scheduled to be broadcast on Wednesday. Loki has many nicknames in Norse mythology, such as cunning man, treacherous god, deformer, liar, etc., which shows that he is a god with rich personality. The changeable personality of tricks, cunning, and pranks continues in Marvel, and the identity of the descendants of the Frost Giant is consistent with the myth. However, the mythical goddess of death, Hela, is Loki’s daughter, and in the Marvel movie, it was changed to Odin’s eldest daughter. As a controversial wayward god, Loki brought hope and weapons to the gods. The eternal spear and the golden ring were given to Odin, the god ship and the golden wild boar were offered to Frey, and Thor’s hammer was also brought to Thor, but it also caused the dusk of the gods. In the Marvel Universe, Loki is not a murderous character, but more trying to prove his worth to Odin. Fighting for the love of the father, but not seeking approval but not the law, eventually became a sad figure with a dark black color. The past and present of “Rocky” in MCU In 2011’s “Thor”, Loki made his first appearance in the Marvel Universe film and television works. The setting of both righteous and evil and anti-hero once overshadowed Thor, the god of thunder with golden hair and blue eyes (red hair and red beard in Norse mythology). In “Avengers 1”, Loki has become the main villain, obtaining the universe cube for Thanos and wanting to conquer the earth. He and the army he brought with him nearly destroyed New York. He was also crushed by the Hulk, eventually defeated by the Avengers, and brought back to Asgard by Brother Hammer. In “Thor 2” in 2013, Loki would not appear in the film originally, and the spicy chicken shreds Malekith and the dark elves are the key points. However, due to Loki’s popularity in the first part of “Avengers”, the script was rewritten to highlight his position, and Loki once again turned his back on the subject. In “Avengers 2”, Loki originally appeared in Thor’s doomsday illusion, but when it was finally released, the glimpse of the scene was cut. Two years later, “Thor 3” is the best in the current “Thor” series. Although Loki’s role in the film has been reduced, the charm of this role has not diminished, and the film also spent a lot of time to show the relationship between Loki and Thor brothers. Regarding the end of the film, in another draft that was not adopted, another escape route for Loki was set. After taking the space gem from Asgard, he did not board Thor’s spacecraft to avoid Thanos knowing the location of Asgard refugees, but in the end he still could not escape the fate of being killed by Thanos. As we all know, 10 minutes before the beginning of “Avengers 3”, Loki was broken by Thanos and died. Tom Hiddleston also thought that this would be the last time he played this role. He didn’t know that Loki would return until “Avengers 3” was released for about a month and a half, but he didn’t know how. In “Avengers 4” we really saw Loki again, but not resurrected. It was because Iron Man, American Team, Ant-Man, and Hulk traveled back to the timeline of the 2012 New York War. In the chaos, Jishen ran away while holding the space gem, and he opened a new parallel universe. The new drama “Loki” continues along this story line. Tom Hiddleston achieves “Loki” villain C As one of the most popular villains in the Marvel universe, Loki’s popularity in the original comics is actually not high. Tom Hiddleston contributed to the success and brilliance of the characters in the movie. Before starring in “Thor”, Tom Hiddleston worked with director Kenneth Branagh on the TV series “Wallander”. Later, he was invited by the director to audition for the role of “Thor”. Tom Hiddleston spent 6 weeks working out. He gained 20 pounds, his muscles increased by 25%, and his fat dropped to 7%. But unfortunately, He met Chris Hemsworth, a strong man of 1.9 meters, but he also appeared in Loki by accident and became a dark horse. Loki at 1.88 meters and Thor at 1.9 meters At that time, there were many competitors for the role of Loki, and even comedian Kim Carrey was a candidate for Loki. The director hopes that Loki will have a skinny feeling of malnutrition. In order to build a good role, Tom Hiddleston has to lose weight again. It can only be said that the muscles have just been trained for nothing. In order to play Loki well, Tom Hiddleston referred to the performance of three actors: Mysterious and reckless Peter Otto, Impatient half-crazy Jack Nicholson, Clint Eastwood, an angry “Eastwood” at any time. In the end, Tom Hiddleston portrayed Loki’s gloomy temperament, clever and cunning conspiracy, and the complex image of justice and evil in one. Let this character’s charm value greatly increase, playing the role and achieving himself. It is worth mentioning that Matt Damon once made a cameo appearance of “Loki” in “Thor 3”, as a small easter egg to surprise the audience. But it also highlights the thin-faced Tom Hiddleston, which is more suitable for the image of Loki, the handsome god of tricks. After being blessed, the “stay cute” has become Loki 2.0 version. Of course, in addition to excellent acting skills, Tom Hiddleston in real life, height 1.88, Cambridge University, can speak seven languages, full of magnetic British voice and gentlemanly demeanor and other high-value, good quality, is also a role. Plus points, gained the goodwill of many fans. Therefore, from the beginning, the villain, who was pulling back and forth between good and evil, gradually turned to a positive image and forced a whitewash in his later appearances. It also fought against other villains with the Avengers, as well as resurrected several times and increased the role of the scene. These are all market strains that Marvel has made to cater to the tastes and voices of the audience. The launch of the new drama “Loki” is obviously inseparable from the popularity of Tom Hiddleston.

Plagiarism involves taking someone else’s work or ideas and passing them off as one’s own. It is a huge problem in the academic world that can have serious consequences. It can be difficult to detect because it comes in different forms. Here are some forms of plagiarism and ways of avoiding them. Direct Also known as copy-and-paste or verbatim, this is the most obvious form of plagiarism. It involves taking someone else’s work and copying it word for word without crediting the original author. It is a serious offense and can lead to expulsion from school or worse. To avoid this type of plagiarism, always use quotation marks when quoting someone else’s work and cite your sources properly. Another thing you can do is delegate your academic tasks to experts. One of the advantages of using an essayservice.com is that you can rest assured your work won’t be plagiarized. Besides, your paper will be free from any grammar and spelling mistakes. Accidental In some cases, plagiarism can be accidental. This happens when you use someone else’s work without realizing it. It is common among university students. All forms of plagiarism are unacceptable, and proving that you plagiarized by accident is not a valid excuse. To avoid accidental plagiarism, check your work for unoriginal content before submitting it. You can use a variety of online plagiarism checkers to do this. Paraphrasing This type of plagiarism occurs when you take someone else’s work and change it a bit in your own words but not enough to make it your own. With the original ideas intact, you still need to cite your sources. Also known as rewrite plagiarism, it still has consequences for those caught. Prevent paraphrasing plagiarism by rewriting information in your own words, and be sure to cite your sources. Alternatively, you can hire someone to write my essay to get unique content for your work. Meanwhile, don’t forget to practice deep paraphrasing. Self-Plagiarism As the name suggests, self-plagiarism is when you copy your past work and present it as new. Self-plagiarism is far more common than you might think. It happens when students submit their work to different professors without changing it significantly enough to avoid plagiarizing the same content each time. This form of plagiarism can be difficult to detect, even with anti-plagiarism software. However, it is still considered plagiarism and can have serious consequences. Thus, take your time to express fresh ideas in your new papers. Incorrect Citation Incorrect citation occurs when you cite your sources improperly or fail to cite them at all. This can be done either on purpose or by accident. Incorrect citation is one of the easiest ways to get caught plagiarizing. To avoid this, always check your work for proper citations and make sure they are accurate. The good thing is that you can use an online citation software like Zotero, which will help you format your citations correctly. You can choose from multiple citation formats, eliminating the risk of incorrectly citing your sources. Plagiarism of Ideas This type of plagiarism is the most difficult to detect because it doesn’t involve copying someone else’s words. It occurs when you take someone else’s ideas and present them as your own. Some students present the ideas as they appear in the source’s outline. To prevent plagiarism of ideas, come up with original ideas and express them in your own words. You can also use various online tools to help you brainstorm and come up with new ideas. It might feel like a lot of work, but it’s worth it in the end. Collaboration Plagiarism When several contributors work together on a paper, it’s logical to acknowledge all those who participated in its creation. However, some students leave out a contributor’s name or forget to mention the source of information. This type of plagiarism can be difficult for teachers and professors to detect unless they know who contributed to certain sections of a paper. To avoid collaboration plagiarism, ensure that all those involved in creating a paper are properly acknowledged for their efforts and achievements. Patchwork Patchwork plagiarism occurs when you take different bits and pieces of information from multiple sources and put them together to create a new work. This type is often easy to detect because the information doesn’t flow together smoothly. To avoid patchwork plagiarism, always take your time to research and find the right information for your work and cite all of your sources. Create a good outline to help you organize the information before putting it all together. Source Plagiarism When you have primary and secondary sources, it’s easy to use a combination of them in your work. However, some students forget to cite their secondary sources. This is an obvious form of plagiarism and will get you into trouble if detected by teachers and professors. Consequently, give credit to all your sources, including the secondary ones. In Conclusion Plagiarism is a serious offense in academia and can lead to expulsion or suspension if you are caught. It’s important to be aware of the different types of plagiarism and avoid them. Once you know what to look for, it’s easier to spot plagiarism in your work and make the necessary corrections.

Finding out the causes of stroke is not just an academic exercise, it can actually save your life. On this page you'll find the answer to these questions: A stroke occurs when the supply of blood to the brain gets interrupted and oxygen can't reach every part of the brain resulting in loss of brain function and death of brain tissue, either in a small part of the brain or a larger one. Each part of the brain controls and receives messages from different parts of the body, so when a particular part of the brain dies, the part of the body corresponding to it ceases to function. Stroke is unfortunately very common, mainly amongst older people, being the third largest cause of death in industrialized countries after heart disease and cancer and affecting about one in 500 people. In most cases, the causes of stroke are the same that affect heart disease. Many factors can cause blood vessels walls to get damaged. When blood vessels are injured (like for example through high blood pressure), cells of the immune system rush in to repair the damage causing inflammation. Inflammation actually damages blood vessels further, thickening the blood, and contributing to the formation of blood clots. The clots usually form in a part of the artery that has been damaged by atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). In the same way as blood vessels can be blocked by clots and restrict blood flow to the heart and cause a heart attack, the same thing can happen to the brain and cause a stroke. There are two main types of strokes: About 80% of strokes are caused by a blood clot, or thrombus that forms in any of the arteries in the brain or leading to the brain and blocks blood flow. A blood clot may also form elsewhere in the body, then break off from its anchor and form a mobile clot, or embolus and travel via the bloodstream to the brain, where it may partially or completely 'plug' a smaller vessel, causing the stroke. The remaining 20% happen when a vessels rupture, spilling blood into the brain. This may occur in a artery affected by atherosclerosis or one with a congenital weakness which can swell and bulge outwards like a balloon. This bulge is called aneurysm and as it gets bigger can burst and cause bleeding into surrounding brain tissue, damaging it and causing a stroke. A tendency to develop aneurysms may be inherited and people who have them may suffer a stroke at a relatively early age. The symptoms of stroke vary according to the part of the brain affected, but can typically include: The right half of the brain controls the left side of the body and vice versa. Common symptoms like weakness in some parts of the body or not being able to use an arm or a leg (paralysis) happens on the opposite side of the body to the stroke side of the brain. In most people, the left half of the brain is responsible for language (talking, understanding, reading and writing), and the right half is responsible for perceptual skills (making sense of what you see, hear and touch) and spatial skills (judging size, speed, distance or position in space). Symptoms may occur suddenly or develop over a period of days, fluctuating in severity. If, on the other hand, numerous small clots develop in the brain rather than one major event, this may manifest itself as a gradual deterioration in the person's mental function, leading to dementia. A precursor to a stroke is often a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), or "mini stroke" in which the deprivation of blood is not sufficient to cause permanent damage. The symptoms may manifest themselves by short-lived weakness or numbness in an arm or leg or a period of confusion, but are temporary and the affected person makes a full recovery, usually within 24 hours. The episode serves as a warning of the possibility of a complete stroke in the future. Three simple checks can help you recognize whether someone has had a stroke or may be experiencing a Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA). These are: Having a stroke can affect the quality of life considerably, but it's not always bad news. Function will return to affected parts of the body only if and when the brain recovers and messages are again sent down the appropriate nerves. It's true that dead brain cells can’t start working again, but those just outside the area of the dead cells may recover as the swelling caused by the stroke goes down. It’s also possible that other parts of the brain can learn to take over from areas that have died. Most recovery happens in the first few months, but people can continue to recover for several years after the stroke, although in severe cases, there may be long-term disability. Simple movements are more likely to recover than delicate ones and sophisticated functions have the worst outlook. So movement of the thigh, for example, may improve more easily than fine movements of the fingers, and any speech impairment is more likely to be permanent. A rehabilitation team can help to compensate for any disabilities the person may have. Physiotherapists maintain muscle tone and joint flexibility, whilst waiting for power to return; occupational therapists advise about functional problems and supply equipment to help the person overcome their disabilities; and speech therapists help with difficulties in swallowing, improve the clarity of remaining speech or offer alternative methods of communication. So the effects of a stroke will depend on: Diet A diet high in fatty foods causes cholesterol to build up in the blood and the arteries to narrow. Too much salt can lead to high blood pressure. Being very overweight (obese) puts extra strain on the heart. Too much alcohol Regular heavy drinking raises blood pressure. Binge drinking (drinking a lot of alcohol in a short time) can cause a blood vessel in the brain to burst. Exercise An inactive lifestyle can contribute to furring of the arteries. Regular exercise helps keep the heart and bloodstream healthy. Smoking Smoking causes higher blood pressure and makes the blood thicker. The chemicals in tobacco smoke are absorbed into the body, damaging blood vessel walls. Stress Prolonged stress can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease and damage to arteries. High blood pressure is considered the leading modifiable risk factor for stroke. As you grow older, your odds of having a stroke rise steadily. Yet there is dramatic evidence that what you eat can slash your chances of stroke as well as the damage it may cause and even help determine whether it's fatal! High blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and a dangerous prediabetic condition called metabolic syndrome all raise your risk of stroke. As most causes of stroke are due to clots in blood vessels, foods that help ward off clots, keep blood vessels flexible and unclogged and keep blood pressure normal are good bets for preventing stroke. Even one extra daily portion of the right stuff may cut an astounding 40 to 60% or even more off your chances of having or dying of a stroke. Could you imagine what would happen if a drug that promised to prevent that many strokes a year was discovered? No doubt it would become an overnight sensation, despite its cost and potential side effects. Yet such an effective and certainly safer and cheaper drug is in everyone's possession right now, so why not use it? Once you understand the causes of stroke it's quite obvious what you need to do to prevent them. Are you willing to make changes in your diet in order to prevent this terrible debilitating condition? The following articles contain a list of foods to include in your diet that can help you prevent strokes. As the causes of stroke are the same as for heart disease, have a look also at the list of foods that help prevent cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

You may not have heard of Alpha-Lipoic Acid – often shortened to ALA – but you’ve actually consumed it! Foods like spinach, broccoli, potatoes, carrots, beets, yeast and red meat all contain small amounts of this powerful antioxidant. The body also produces it internally because it is such an important scavenger of free radicals which can damage normal cells. It’s so powerful in fact that many people take it as a supplement to get access to more concentrated sources of this compound. With anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and antioxidant effects in addition to lowering oxidative stress in the cardiovascular system and supporting the endocrine system, particularly for people with diabetes, there are many uses for this compound. Medicinally, ALA is used for: - Pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes - Complications from diabetes: neuropathy, retinopathy, nephropathy - Other types of neuropathy (tingling in the hands and feet) including chemo-induced - Eye diseases like cataracts and glaucoma - Neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and dementia - Chronic fatigue syndrome - Cardiovascular diseases and peripheral arterial disease - Some cancers - HIV - Liver disease The nice thing about ALA is that, because it’s found in common foods and the body can make it on its own, it’s truly a natural compound. Safety of supplements at recommended doses is documented in studies. Clinical trials dosing ALA have proven safe orally in ranges from four months to four years. Some of the best research is in fact on using ALA topically for supporting skin health including reduced fine lines and roughness associated with sun damage to the face. ALA is commonly combined in topicals and oral supplements with other antioxidant herbs like vitamins C or E, pine bark extract, or others so it can be difficult to understand the benefits of ALA specifically independent of other ingredients. There are some exciting potential uses for ALA for medical conditions. When combined with CoQ10, omega-3 fatty acids, selenium and magnesium, ALA has proven supportive for patients post coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Because of its anti-inflammatory support, there are uses for it within cardiovascular health. It has been researched more extensively and on its own regarding type 2 diabetes. There is evidence that taking 300-1800 mg/day for 4-8 weeks improves insulin sensitivity and fasting blood glucose levels in people with diabetes. Though there is some conflicting research and ALA doesn’t appear to actually lower A1c (the measure of blood sugar over a period of 3 months and one of the diagnostic criteria for diabetes), the opportunity for using it to treat side effects including diabetic neuropathy (tingling in the hands and feet) is promising. ALA has proven generally well tolerated with some reports of potential nausea or vomiting in some people. Though there are rare examples when extremely high doses were damaging or even fatal to humans or animals, normal dosing appears to be safe for many people. There are very minimal potential interactions with medications including moderate interactions with thyroid hormone replacements or anti-tumor antibiotics. Use caution when combining ALA with other blood-sugar lowering herbs and supplements as the effects could be compounded. As always, it’s best to meet with your doctor to make sure ALA is safe for you. Have you ever tried ALA for medicinal use? Let us know about your experience in the comments!

A recent graduate enters the workforce for the first time with a basic set of skills and the ability to learn. Having a degree to get a job is only the starting point. Learning must now continue for a lifetime, with continuous upskilling. getty This approach is not only good for the employee, it’s also a competitive advantage for the employer in the new normal, post-Covid-19. In fact, so much value is placed on continuous skill-building, the employer puts in place programs that provide meaningful, personalized education to ensure workers are equipped to perform the work that must be done now — and in the Fourth Industrial Revolution as greater inroads continue to be made by robotics and artificial intelligence (AI). What might sound idealistic or even futuristic is currently happening and must become more widespread. Simon Nelson, CEO of UK-based FutureLearn that partners with universities to provide massive open online courses (MOOCs), has observed that a “range of new skills that are in high demand” are part of the driving forces behind continuous upskilling. Indeed, the matter of learning is so urgent, it’s a C-suite issue, according to BCG Group. In the past, companies relied on positional advantage, which encompassed everything from the price and quality their products to recruiting the best people. More recently, the competitive edge was found in an “adaptive advantage,” such as agility, innovation, adapting quickly to a changing marketplace, Now, BCG observed, “another basis of competition has risen above them all in the digital age: learning advantage.” A New Wave of Corporate Learning One way to accelerate and support learning is with continuous upskilling. A key component is micro-certification, which is best thought of as learning that happens in smaller “chunks” — such as bootcamp training, an online course from a university or other provider, or even an apprenticeship. When competency in a specific knowledge area or skill is demonstrated, a micro-certification is issued, which can be listed on a resume or displayed as a “badge” or a mastery credit on an online profile. Over time, individuals can amass portfolios of competencies that characterize their capabilities in a way that is much more relevant to their professional lives than relying solely on academic credentials. An example is training from VEJ-EU, the Danish roadwork education center. In Denmark, all workers, from engineers to manual laborers, must be certified in roadway safety. To ensure everyone can become competent, instruction is now delivered via personalized e-learning. Those who have already mastered the material can move ahead; others who need additional resources receive support. After the “pre-work” online, learning shifts to role-playing and exercises to apply what’s been learned. Thanks to personalization to meet every learner where they are and build competency, the pass rate for achieving certification is virtually 100 percent. More Than Technical Skills While skill-building usually brings to mind technological capabilities, that is too narrow a view. As Charles Fadel, founder of the Center for Curriculum Redesign, has stated, 21st century skills include collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. This points to a “bottom-line question” for employers, according to Josh Bersin in a Deloitte report on “The 21st Century Career”: How to “build career models that encourage continuous learning, improve individual mobility, and foster a growth mind-set in every employee, year after year?” Before the pandemic, when unemployment was below 4%, large companies facing talent shortages often hired people who lacked specific skills but were capable of learning. Now, with unemployment in double-digits, reskilling remains important, but for another reason: to ensure workers have the skills that can help companies moving forward. As the authors of a recent Harvard Business Review article noted, “Today, we believe this need is no longer just a recommendation, but a necessary step to economic recovery.” Beyond the Resume When professionals market themselves to a prospective employer, they typically display their current and past jobs, whether on a resume or LinkedIn. What this fails to showcase, however, is all that they’ve learned — beyond whatever degree they hold — and, more important, what they are capable of learning. In other words, the missing pieces are the mastery they have achieved thus far and their potential to be trained and developed in new areas. Micro-credentialing could fill this gap with a real-time record of capabilities, as well as evidence of a learning mindset and a desire to grow. A corollary to this approach can be found in the Mastery Transcript Consortium (MTC), which takes a novel approach with leading high schools in the U.S. and globally. MTC, of which I am a former board member, seeks to motivate students to become engaged learners, while developing the knowledge and skills needed to take on challenges and opportunities throughout their lives. This is a far more holistic approach to showing who students are than SAT scores. As an employer, I am interested in people’s skills and accomplishments, both professional and personal, as a proxy for a fuller view of their capabilities. In fact, I make it a point to ask employees and job candidates what they do outside of work. I listen for what activities engage them, whether it’s sailing, sports, an artistic endeavor, or community work. A broad range of activities and interests can demonstrate qualities such as tenacity, problem solving, creativity, and critical thinking, as well as social awareness and engagement. As I’ve found, people who are genuinely interested in the world are more likely to be lifelong learners who distinguish themselves by having a “growth mindset,” as defined by Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck. Intrinsically motivated, lifelong learners influence the projects that they take on and the problems they solve. Human curiosity plays an important role to encourage exploration and learning. All too often, though, corporate environments in which there is a perceived protocol of how things have always been done can squelch curiosity. Now, as organizations strive to reinvent and transform themselves, curiosity and a growth mindset will become more highly valued. The Value of Being Human Rather than focusing so much attention on computers that can learn or on AI and robotics taking over lower-level jobs, greater emphasis needs to be placed on upskilling individuals. Humans will continue to have key roles because of their unique cognitive and physical abilities. Indeed, when they are freed up from low-skilled jobs, humans can be trained to engage in more challenging and intellectually satisfying work. As humans, our innate ability to learn makes life satisfying. The more companies tap into that desire, providing meaningful training that meets people where they are with the skills they need to acquire, the more rewarding it will be for all involved.

The following Language exercise is conceptualized on the same paradigm as the ‘builder’s exercise’ discussed by Wittgenstein in Philosophical Investigations. According to this exercise, bare minimum, ‘primitive’ form of language is used between a builder and his assistant. For them to be able to achieve their work, they need only nouns like ‘block’, ‘pillar,’ or ‘beam.’ The builder calls for these things and the assistant understands that he needs to give them to the builder. The next stage is the introduction of words like ‘there’, ‘here’ etc. This, Wittgenstein calls primitive language and according to him,represents one of the simpler forms of language activity in which language users participate.The basic relationship of signification and representation are established in this manner. These include gestures as well, which are semiotic practices additional to ‘language’ as well as focus on grammar, which is the conceptual framework which lays down the rules of how these signs should be used. The following is a game which is based on the socially shared space within which the signs and the process of signification exist. Simply put, the students are able to understand the various words in the game because they share the process and values of signification. Dumb charades This is an easy enough game and the best part is that most of the students are already aware of itsbasic principles. It is usually played using the names of slightly unusual movie names but the game is versatile enough to be used as a tool for enhancing vocabulary in an English language classroom for young adults. Level: Beginner and/or intermediate (depending on the words which are used) Time required: 30–45 minutes Objectives: To help students express and define various objects which range from the commonplace to those which are specific to a particular context. Skills required: Speaking and listening. Preparation required: Think of the names of a couple of objects which the students would definitely know of. These should be things which would need some explanation. A good example might be a ‘bus ticket’. Pre-activity discussion: Ask the students common ways and parameters of defining things. These can include shape, size, location where different objects are found, the kind of people who use them or the various uses any object is put to. Procedure:Divide the students in small teams. To begin with, have a couple of words ready on small chits of paper. Once the students understand what they have to do, they will be able to come up with words on their own but in the beginning they may need help. Important: Some basics should be written down on the board for easy access and reference. For example - Noun (Every time they get a word which is a noun, they can just show the number one to their team mates so that they know that they have to guess words which are nouns) - Verb - Adjectives Step 1:One person from each team will come to the front of the class and will be given a word by the teacher. S/he will have to explain the word to the other team members only through actions. Step 2: The team members get points for guessing the correct word within the given time, which could range from 30 seconds to about 2 minutes depending on the level of the vocabulary as well as the level of proficiency of the students. Step 3: Once the students understand what they have to do, they can suggest words for the other teams in a circular fashion. For example, if there are four teams, A, B, C and D. A can suggest a word for B, B for C and so on. Whichever team scores the highest after three rounds will win the game. There can be theme-based variations to this game as well. The students can be asked to suggest and guess words which cater to a particular theme under discussion like travel, health, professions etc. This will help students think about the associated vocabulary as well. Another variation to this activity can be more writing-oriented. Level: Beginner and/or intermediate Time required: 20 minutes Objectives: To help students practice their writing skills. Skills required: Writing. Preparation required: The students should be made aware of this exercise before they do the previous exercise so that they can focus and try to remember the various developments of the dumb charades game. If need be, they can take notes as well. Procedure:Depending on the proficiency of the students, this activity can be carried out either in groups or individually. - Step 1: If working in groups, divide the students and ask them to write a diary entry about the activity Dumb Charades in class. Give the students the proper grammatical parameters for writing the diary entry like it should be addressed to the diary in the second person. (This will be a good place to revise the verb formations with second person.) - Step 2: The students should finish the entry in about 20 minutes. - Step 3a (optional): The evaluation can be done later by the instructor or it can be made a peer-evaluated exercise.This way, the aspect of reading can also be incorporated in the game. - Step 3b (optional): The diary entries can also be read in class thus including reading as part of the exercise or as a post exercise activity.

Tow companies, plow drivers ready for snow cleanup in Sheboygan SHEBOYGAN (WITI) -- Snow was expected to fall in Wisconsin on Tuesday, January 14th -- and a Winter Storm Warning was issued for counties to the north of Milwaukee -- including Dodge, Ozaukee, Washington, Sheboygan, and Fond du Lac. In Sheboygan 5-7 inches of snow were possible Tuesday and Tuesday night. We saw a lull in the snowfall on Tuesday afternoon -- and many in Sheboygan were waiting for the snow to fall, so they could get out and start the cleanup process. Even without the snow falling on Tuesday afternoon, Arrow Towing and Recovery was busy -- and has been this winter. "We are swamped. We've been swamped for months," Kevin Thill said. For almost four decades, Thill has been dealing with Wisconsin winters. "I`ve been doing it for 37 years so I`ve got the feeling in my bones. I know when it`s coming and I`m ready for it," Thill said. Waiting for the snow to fall is more than just watching the clock or watching the radar for Thill and his co-workers. It's about trusting his gut. "You get a little jittery sometimes because when you know there`s a lot of snow coming or a freezing rain, everybody gets a little bit nervous. We just wait for the snow to come down and we're ready to go. We go all out," Thill said. Thill says it's about handling the cars in the shop, and waiting for calls for service to come in -- even if it's after normal business hours. "At 4:30 is normally about the time you get a little bit jittery because you`re ready to go. There`s never a time when you can just go home and eat supper. You get called out anyway," Thill said. The same can be said for Joel Kolste and the Sheboygan DPW. "We have to be ready for whatever Mother Nature sends our way. We`ve just sent out 12 salt trucks and we`re laying some salt down on the roads as we speak," Kolste said. Plows will be called out when the snow comes, and if more than four inches fall, loaders will be called into action. "We use those to clear cul de sacs and dead ends and places our trucks can`t get at very well," Kolste said. So far, Sheboygan has had to use salt trucks 17 times this winter -- including Tuesday. Last year, salt trucks were used 24 times -- but Sheboygan officials aren't worried about the salt supply. --- As day turned to night in Sheboygan -- the winds really picked up and the biggest issue was blowing and drifting snow. Conditions Tuesday night had many choosing to stay home -- except for those who had to hit the road for work. Alysha Vetter carries Chinese food from her Saukville restaurant to homes throughout Ozaukee County. "It kinda does depend on the weather if we deliver or not. When the weather is not the best, we will take only local deliveries," Vetter said. The blustery conditions Tuesday night meant more customers choosing to stay home and order in. Vetter was happy to be busy -- but not so happy about the blustery winds. "When you have snow coming at you or the roads being slick, it's harder to see," Vetter said. Most of the customers recognized Vetter's efforts through the rough conditions with a larger tip, while Vetter says she uses more caution during her deliveries when conditions aren't the best.

However, most homes, buildings and other structures do not have workable installed or readily available wind protection, especially in areas where high wind storms are infrequent or rare. [0005] The following patents are representative of more recent innovations in window and door storm protection: [0006] U.S. Pat. No. 6,205,713 describes a shutter for withstanding hurricane wind and pressures that have permanent hardware attached to a structure and a temporary shutter that can be stored until needed. Hardware consists of brackets mounted above or below a window and sliding latches at the edges of the window. Sliding latches have a key way for a carriage bolt to enter and attach. Brackets allow a shutter that has attached hinges to latch and pivot around a bridge. The shutter can be made from any material. Hinges are attached to shutter and are able to be latched and pivoted on the brackets mounted on the house. The shutter is swung over the window and locked down sliding latches and carriage bolts with wing nuts through holes in shutter. [0007] U.S. Pat. No. 5,737,874 describes a shutter for withstanding hurricane wind forces that has an outer rectangular frame formed by four U-shaped channel members. An inner rectangular frame, also formed of four U-shaped blade channels, is mounted within the U-shaped channels of the outer frame. A plurality of Z-shaped blades extend horizontally between the vertical U-shaped inner blade channels and are secured in an angular position by fasteners. The blades each have a pair of horizontal end flanges which are secured at opposite ends to the inner frame, and have an intervening angled panel of reduced thickness to enable the blades to flex and absorb the wind forces. Longitudinal fins are formed on the inner frame channels and engage portions of the outer frame to radiate wind forces exerted on the blades to the outer frame. A pair of spring-biased plunger rods are mounted at the bottom ends of the outer frame for securing the shutter in a locked position. The shutter is assembled by fastening the blades at their ends to two spaced inner blade channels, sliding the inner frame members within the outer frame members, and then securing the outer frame members together by comer braces to trap the inner frame and blades therein. [0008] U.S. Pat. No. 5,540,018 describes an integrated window construction system. The present invention provides an integrated window construction system for mounting both window units and hurricane shutters, comprising a header bracket which includes a window header bracket portion and an upper shutter bracket portion spacedly connected by an extended member; a sill bracket comprising a window sill bracket portion and a lower shutter bracket portion spacedly connected by an extended section; means for fastening the header bracket to a window header; means for fastening the sill bracket to a window sill; means for mounting the window unit between the header and sill brackets; and means for securing at least one hurricane shutter between the header and sill brackets. [0009] Notwithstanding the prior art, the present invention device, which involves permanently attached, rotatable U channels with removable protective boards, is neither taught nor rendered obvious thereby. [0010] The present invention relates to a protective device for openings in a structure, e.g., windows and doors, from storms and hurricanes. The present invention also relates to the aforesaid devices in combination with the frames of said openings. An important and unique aspect of the present invention relates to removably installing protective boards in structural openings as needed, such as when tornadoes, high winds, extreme rain and snow storms or hurricanes are threatening the building.. [0011] The terms “structure” and “building” are used herein, interchangeably to mean any physical construction which is occupied or occupiable for some human function, and which have one or more windows and/or doorways or their equivalent. These terms should be construed broadly to include homes, offices, government and military facilities, schools, commercial facilities, and auxiliary structures, such as barns, storage buildings, etc. The term “opening” as used herein, refers to a door, window or equivalent, such as a hatchway, a skylight, or any other area in a building wall which would have been open when the wall was constructed. These openings may be passable or impassable, and may physically open or not. For example, a skylight might not open, but it is still an opening in the wall of the structure. The term “wall” as used herein, should be construed broadly as any major outer surface of a building, including vertical walls, horizontal walls, angled walls, roofs, and inner walls exposed to weather, e.g. an inner courtyard wall. [0012] The present invention is a device for protecting windows, doors, and other openings in a building from high wind weather, which utilizes two opposite, typically parallel, U channels as the essential base structure. These U channels may be made of materials selected from the group consisting of wood, plastic, metal and combinations thereof [0013] The U channels each have an attachment end and a securing end, and are adapted to be mounted opposite one another within a frame of a building opening, inverted relative to one another and adapted to slideably receive a protective board. There are two attachment components, one for each of the U channels. Each of the attachment components have two attachment means, one attachment means adapted for attachment to the attachment end of a U channel, the other attachment means adapted for attachment to the frame of a building opening. The attachment components enable rotation between a building opening and the U channel, and may accomplish this with rotation within itself, rotation between itself and the U channel, rotation between itself and the frame, or a combination of these. [0014] When the present invention attachment components are each attached to a U channel and each are attached to a normal surface of a frame of a building opening so that the U channels are rotatable relative to the frame, are opposite one another and inverted relative to one another, a protective board may removably slide into the U channels, the unit may be closed (rotated toward the structure) and secured. The protective board is generally flat and may have a periphery to accommodate the opening for which it is intended. In many embodiments, it will have a rectangular shape. It is adapted to removably slide into the two U channels when they are attached to a normal surface of a frame of a building opening via two attachment components. The present invention also includes securing means for securing the securing ends of the U channels to a frame of a building. These securing means may be slotted brackets and a securing bar, or latches at the protective board and frame, or a swing or screw lock and U channel orifice, or any other functional securing means. For example, the securing means may include an orifice at the securing end of each of the U channels, and an anchoring member for passing through the orifice and for attachment to a frame. In some embodiments, the orifice has a non-circular configuration and an anchoring member is a rotatable latch. In other embodiments, the aforesaid orifice has a keyhole configuration. In yet some other embodiments, the orifice may be a cut out passing through at least two walls of the U channels. [0015] The protective board may be formed of any strong, continuous sheet flat material, such as wood, metal, plastic and composite materials, or combinations thereof. The protective board is preferably a composite that includes a first sheet of a structural plastic material and a second sheet of a glass fiber material. A very much preferred composite has a first sheet of a structural plastic material sandwiched between two sheets of a woven glass fiber material which has been formed together under heat and pressure. [0016] The present invention should be more fully understood when the specification herein is taken in conjunction with the drawings appended hereto wherein: [0017] [0018] [0019] [0020] [0021] [0022] [0023] [0024] [0025] [0026] [0027] [0028] [0029] Window [0030] As shown in [0031] [0032] [0033] [0034] [0035] [0036] [0037] [0038] [0039] [0040] Obviously, numerous modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein.

(Offers on this page are now expired and are no longer available.) When it comes to travel hacking, rental cars can be a tough nut to crack. Even when you get status with a rental car company or can use your rewards, prices (in both points and dollars) are often all over the place. My favorite way to save on rental cars is to book on Expedia.com (lowest prices most of the time) or use Chase Ultimate Rewards. And even then, the price difference between those two options can be astronomical. When it comes to rental cars though, one strategy always seems to work – booking early. Of course, the key to booking early is booking a rental that can be cancelled if you find a better price. For any given trip, I might book and re-book a rental car 4 or 5 times as prices go down. But by booking early, you can lock in a price and protect yourself if prices go up. Case in point: For winter break this year, I booked a week-long stay in Puerto Rico. We’re spending half of our time in and around San Juan and the rest in Fajardo, but we’ll still pick up only one rental car for the entire week. Six months ago, a weekly rental was around $250. That wasn’t great, but I went ahead and booked it through Expedia.com just in case. Since then, I’ve checked with Priceline, Avis, National, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and everywhere else on the web, only to watch prices go up. Now, a month out from our trip, the exact same car through Expedia.com is $652 per week! Through Chase Ultimate Rewards, on the other hand, a weekly rental from the same company would cost more than $500 per week. Fortunately, I booked a speculative rental car early. Otherwise, I would be stuck forking over a ton of points or paying more than twice as much in cash. Another Option: Using Auto Slash Since I’m a travel nerd, I enjoy searching for rental car rates manually. If you have better things to do with your time, however, you can accomplish the same thing with a service like Auto Slash. When you book through Auto Slash, they will search for a lower price then re-book your car if prices go down. I will note, however, that Auto Slash works best when you follow my advice and book early. I just searched for our dates over Christmas break, and the cheapest car you can book out of San Juan through Auto Slash is $815 per week! Final Thoughts No matter how you plan to pay for your rental car, it’s wise to plan as early as you can. When you fail to think ahead, you’re at the mercy of rental car companies and whatever rates they can charge. Personally, I like booking speculative car rentals I can cancel then checking prices periodically as my travel date approaches. That way, I can lock in a lower price if I find one while also locking in the lowest price I can find right away. What is your favorite way to save on rental cars?

100 Slavic Novels with Suzana Tratnik in the Centre of St. Petersburg At the occasion of the St. Petersburg International Book Salon the Forum of Slavic Cultures opened the 100 Slavic Novels Exhibition while Slovenian writer Suzana Tratnik took care that Slovenian word could not only be seen but also heard at the city’s main avenue, Nevsky Prospekt. »The Memorandum on co-operation signed with the Governor of St. Petersburg last December defined some of the concrete common activities. One of them is our participation at the International Book Salon,« said the Director of the Forum of Slavic Cultures (FSC) Andreja Rihter, PhD, after the first presentation of the 100 Slavic Novels project in the Russian cultural capital. Mateja Jančar, Project Manager of the FSC publishing added that the Book Salon in St. Petersburg was special indeed, due to the fact that many events took place outdoors, in the streets, so that the books, writers, translators etc. were really in touch with people, also with tourists and passers-by. The presentation of Slovenian writer Suzana Tratnik, one of the authors from the Slovenian list of the 100 Slavic Novels series, and her reading with translation into Russian by Nadezhda Starikova and Zhanna Perkovskaya, at one of the venues, in the Writers’ Book Store at Nevsky Prospekt, got quite some attention. So did the inauguration of the 100 Slavic Novels exhibition, also on display at the elite location at Nevsky Prospekt, in the House of Journalists. The exhibition was inaugurated by Liubov Fedorova, Deputy Chairman of Press Committee of St. Petersburg, Irina Ivanova, Art-Director of the House of Journalists, Mateja Jančar on behalf of the FSC, and writer Suzana Tratnik who pointed out the importance of the series for the authors as a gate-opener to the Slavic world. Irina Ivanova said that the exhibition demonstrated, among others, also the space dimension of the series and enabled a special contact with authors, different Slavic languages and their similarities. After its inauguration in the Unesco Palace in Paris, the 100 Slavic Novels exhibition was shown in Ljubljana, Radlje ob Dravi and in Vienna. The exhibition featuring 108 authors from 9 Slavic countries will stay in St. Petersburg until the beginning of June and in autumn it will be on display in the University Library in Bratislava and in Moscow during its international book fair.

Beyond Banking: filling the recruitment abyss We’ll send you a myFT Daily Digest email rounding up the latest Recruitment news every morning. Hannah Vallerie started her tour of top university campuses about six months earlier than usual this year. The human resources manager for ING bank wanted to steal a march on rivals in an attempt to recruit graduates to the Dutch lender for its international leadership programme. To make the job more enticing, ING, which typically hires an average of four out of 600 US applicants every year, moved the final event of the three-year programme from the group’s headquarters in Amsterdam to a remote training camp in Portugal. According to Cliff Belzer, a Harvard graduate who joined the “Orange leaders” programme in September 2011, it is stuffed with “fun” extracurricular activities, such as staffing food trucks and painting rooms. ING’s efforts come as demand for top-flight business school graduates is at a premium as they shun careers in banks for well-paid jobs in technology, engineering and healthcare. One candidate offered a place this year on ING’s leadership programme, turned the bank down in favour of taking a job at Google. “That was an eye-opener for us,” said Ms Vallerie, noting that this was the first time ING had lost a candidate to the tech sector. “We made some changes based on that experience.” Other banks, like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have hiked the base pay for junior bankers, some by as much as 20 per cent. Goldman Sachs last week unveiled new measures including faster promotions, guaranteed rotations and less menial work to woo junior bankers. Credit Suisse, meanwhile, has introduced a fast-track program for top-performing analysts, as well as a mentoring program to offer support to junior bankers and keep them motivated. “There’s a tendency to focus on specific things as opposed to the constant process,” says David Solomon, co-head of investment banking at Goldman Sachs. “We’re trying to make sure that we have the best practices in the context of the way we recruit people, train people and develop people.” Mr Solomon said other banks might follow some of Goldman Sachs’ initiatives, but the bank can do enough to still give itself a differentiating edge. “Races aren’t won by 100 yards, races are won by steps,” he said. “You’ve got to make sure that your relative performance is a little bit better.” Such measures, however, have done little to diminish the rising appeal of careers in technology relative to banks — as demonstrated by the roll call of top employers for MBA graduates from business school Sloan MIT. Goldman Sachs was jointly ranked as the fourth biggest recruiter from MIT in 2008, while JPMorgan Chase and Lehman were also in the top 10. By 2014, there was not a single bank in the top hirers, but Apple had joined the list and Amazon had shot up to third place. Consultancies have also grown in popularity, with both Deloitte and PwC joining the list by 2014. According to Harvard Business School, tech employed 7 per cent of its graduates in 2008. By 2014, that figure had increased to 17 per cent. Seven per cent of its graduates went on to internet services, a category that had not even existed in 2008. Bankers are keen to dispel the myth that graduates can become instant millionaires by choosing Silicon Valley over Wall Street. “Everyone going into Silicon Valley thinks they are going to be zillionaires,” says, Ros Stephenson, UBS’s Head of Americas and chair of corporate client solutions. Technology failures and modest success stories, she argues, still outnumber the stuff of Hollywood blockbusters. Paul Baron, head of derivative sales at Bank of America Merrill Lynch says niche areas in investment banking are still proving attractive to some graduates because “the product is intellectually rigorous, it’s very interesting, bespoke, creative.” Analysis. The cuts are even bigger at some banks — in Europe, Deutsche Bank is reportedly cutting bonuses by 30 per cent after a $6bn loss in the third quarter. “The deal with banking was that you worked really hard but got paid lots of money. Now the deal is broken people are looking at other paths,” said Lynda Gratton, professor of management practice at London Business School. “ She adds: “Certainly at LBS we have many students who previously would have been banking candidates now starting their own businesses.” One former junior banker at a top US bank believes that other industries do a better job of selling their social value. She quit banking for the non-profit sector because she wanted “to make an impact in my work”. Recruiters say this desire to do something of “purpose” reflects this generation’s values. Millennials, or Generation Y, born in the early 1980s to 2000s, are also characterised as possessing less institutional allegiance than their predecessors. Many employers see them as impatient for responsibility and hankering after some semblance of work-life balance. Young people, said Hazel Mulhare, vice-president at Kea Consultants, which helps recruit junior bankers to financial services firms, “don’t want to be a cog in the machine” and are frustrated by doing anonymous grunt work in large banks. A New York-based banker who helps with recruitment says today’s graduates are “motivated by different things”. “If they started 10 years ago, the juniors would have been saying, yes, I want to work hard but I want the perks to work hard, concierge services, people to run errands, car services,” he says. “Now, it’s protected weekends and time off . . . they say they value that.” Leavers are staying within finance Business school graduates may be turning their back on banking, but those already working in the sector are not moving much further afield, writes Laura Noonan. More than 60 per cent of workers who leave banking end up in other parts of the financial services sector, according to analysis carried out by professional global network LinkedIn for the Financial Times. The findings dispel the common perception that large numbers of bankers are quitting for what some may consider more morally rewarding careers such as teaching, or more enterprising opportunities, such as in start-ups. LinkedIn studied the profiles of almost 24,500 people leaving and joining banks in key financial centres during the first six months of the year. The figures are based on analysis of the 14,500 people who joined the banking sector in the first six months of the year, and the 9,000 who left, in New York, London, Hong Kong, Paris, Frankfurt and Zurich. Although the research includes only those workers who have LinkedIn profiles and updated them — representing a fraction of the total workforce — the analysis provides a compelling snapshot on the flow of talent in and out of banks. Despite being far smaller than London and New York, Paris was the most popular area for new joiners, attracting 34 per cent of the total increase in bank workers. France’s banks suffered during the earlier stages of the financial crisis but the country has largely escaped the latest wave of job cuts in the sector, which have been led by UK, German and Swiss banks. The research also highlights how narrow the recruitment pool for banks is despite their efforts to bring in more diverse talent. The finance sector supplied 52 per cent of workers joining banks for the first time. This includes workers who list their previous industry as “financial services”, accounting, management consultancy, investment management and insurance. Outside of the financial sector, the IT industry was the biggest supplier of new banking talent, providing 7 per cent of new joiners. Get alerts on Recruitment when a new story is published

Tessa Robinson AssociateView bio January 13, 2021 Categories Employment Law We are concerned about the mental wellbeing of our staff during this third national lockdown. Are there any steps we could take to offer further support them through this difficult period? It is without doubt that everyone is feeling the strain of the further restrictions imposed by the UK government. The restrictions will affect everyone differently, and it Is important that employers recognise the varying difficulties its employees are facing, and create a supportive environment. There are several things employers could consider in order to support its workforce. Don’t pretend everything is normal – it is not! The pandemic is anything but normal! As much as you may want to reassure your staff about job security by stating it is business as usual, the pressures facing your workforce are not the normal pressures experienced. Reassure your staff that it is ok if they have a child in the background carrying out their home schooling, or if they find some days more of a struggle than others. Working from home for many is not just a change of scenery. It comes with additional issues such as isolation and family pressures (home schooling!). Make sure these are recognised and keep communication channels open with staff. This will ensure individuals feel they can express any concerns and pressures they are experiencing, in turn allowing you to find solutions that suit both the business and the individual. Offering flexibility – this can be in many different ways! One such step in recognising additional pressures may be to offer flexibility in working practices. This could take many forms including flexible working hour or temporarily amending roles to suit individuals varying pressures. Parents home schooling their children will face additional pressures during school hours, but may be able to work flexibly in the morning or evening. In addition, to alleviate pressure, individuals with fewer demands at home could temporarily take on some additional duties (although this should be managed carefully). Winter lockdown is different to summer lockdown. Individuals may also wish to make use of flexible working hours in order to ensure they can enjoy exercise in the daylight! It may not always be possible for people to exercise in a lunch break, and you therefore may wish to allow people to manage their day to ensure each individual can do what they need to alleviate their stress at this difficult time. Offering additional leave For some individuals, flexibility may not be sufficient. For parents of young children, simply expressing that they can work their hours when they wish may lead to other problems such as exhaustion. In some situations you may wish to offer additional unpaid leave to parents, or to allow them to use annual leave. Larger organisations may also be able to offer limited further paid leave to recognise the pressures faced by families during the current pandemic. Furlough Where none of the above offer a workable solution, you may wish to offer being placed on furlough leave to certain members of staff. The guidance is now completely clear that parents facing caring or homes schooling demands can be furloughed. You are not legally obliged to grant furlough in this situation, but by offering support where possible during the peak of the pressures being faced, it may potentially prevent long term mental health issues amongst your workforce. Some employers are fearful of requesting this as an option, in case it puts them at the top of the pile if a redundancy situation arises. You should reassure staff that this is not the case, and that if granted, it is simply to alleviate their stress as they are a valued member of staff. Wellbeing ideas and resources Wellbeing information and sources can be emailed to all employees and placed on the organisation’s intranet (if you have one). These can range from lists of online exercise sources, links to your organisations counselling service (if offered), mental health charity contact details, and ideas as to how employees can organise their work day that they take breaks and are set up properly at their home workspace. The key is to keep communication open with your workforce. These are unusual times that we will likely not face again in our lifetimes. The different support organisations can offer will depend on their size and resources, but these ideas will provide some ideas as to the various options available.

Trying a smaller ship for a change. I'm using "dumb math" ratios and benchmarking against the spaceX ITS as I figure out how to calculate deltaV. 1:5 methane to LO2 ratio is almost 1 cubic meter to 900kg - i can round it off to 1T of fuel is 1 T of fuel tank (the mass of the container). So this little ship with 3.7 KMs is going to have a hard time in distances like Ganymede to Europa (1.6M km 0.4M km). from 30 days to 12 days at the farthest distance or 1/4 the time at the shortest. The hundreds of Habitats and stations around these moons could be common type of work. Drones used to repair the Frames, I can imagine it's so easy to upgrade a ship with Drones. Not enough delta V, strap on a much larger fuel and engine. Populations Rotating and resting in the habitats around Ganymede which is the most shielded place in the region. the 4 Year Stints would be perfect in the "cycles" of the population. - 1.3KTV Fuel Tanks x2 - 𝚫V of this ship would probably be tiny at about 3.7KMs at 2.6 Kilo Tons of Fuel. (still working out the delta V calculations) - Ganymede (1M km from Jupiter) to Europa (600K km from Jupiter) at 1.6M km - with 1 KMs it takes 889 hrs or 37 days to travel that distance (plus orbital wastage and tax from escape velocity). - with 3 KMs the ship will take 12 days instead. - the ITS stats pretty much puts 1 ton of FUEL (1:5 parts methane to liquid oxygen) at almost 1 Ton Volume equal 1 Ton mass of Fuel. - 1.6KTV habitat 17m Radius 5.7x5.2m - This Translates to 110 dtons or 28 staterooms. Of course habitat, sleeping is just 1 part of our use of area. Conditioning and some RECOVERY (which we stigmatize as recreation) would make 2/3s of the rest of the space. 10-20 people can be in this ship. Assuming the crew rotates their work in Zero G. - Imagine going into this ship and having to exercise 2-4 hours a day. - 2.7KT Command Hex Module. - if I add the 8.7KTV hex container these trips will be too slow unless its food being carried or lighter than water density. - Easily the ship can be reconfigured with Greater Delta-V if needed. Personal Notes. I work in Furniture and Construction and I come from an Art Degree. I highly recommend watching the youtube Channel of Wintergatan () and his Engineering Journey balancing Aesthetics and Design. I know I'm biased. I realize Occams Razor gives us all the Symptoms and Indicators about a situation and how to act and the problem really is my innate biases, assumptions, and personality. I realize I can take any situation and research enough key Indicators that any additional piece of information cannot aid my decision in any tangible way. This rabbit hole of TL9 ships and designs basically teach me that a lot of Aesthetics are the inherent assumptions, culture, (water to the fish), biases that make me not appreciate good design. When i fix the air conditioning this summer, arrange the furniture because of the heat, plan my day around the intense heatwave here - Its a lot of engineering - from the black out curtains, the work life of the HVAC, and the design of the furniture. Really good engineering is PRETTY to me even if the lines aren't because - I'm comfortable, I have a positive experience fixing and cleaning it, I able to tweak and customize it with my needs, I'm able to build over it and experiment. PRETTY-LINES don't make good design - end-user experience makes good design. trying to prevent a Failure of Imagination. TL9.0 to TL9.9 is going to be amazing.

We do not sell these plants. Chamaemelum nobile or Chamomile is a short lived perennial that has finely lobed, mid green leaves and open faced daisy-like flowers with white petals and a prominent yellow mound at the centre. This is an informal and pretty garden plant that goes well in borders, rockeries and larger planters. There is a dwarf or prostrate variant that can be grown as a lawn - it has added benefit of emitting a wonderful fragrance when walked over, though it tends to not be very hard wearing. Chamomile is perhaps best known however as a useful herb that has a sedative effect when taken as an infusion. Soil: They prefer lighter soils and it should be well drained, though able to hold some moisture through addition of organic matter like compost. Maintenance: Little maintenance required, just keep them moist in warmer weather and do not allow to dry right out. Propagate from seed in spring or autumn. Diseases: None of note. Other Species: Four species in the Chamaemelum genus - though this is the only one that is generally cultivated. Comments: Chamomile is also used to flavor foods, to make perfumes and cosmetics. It is well known as a rinse for blonde hair. The other genus/species that is also referred to as Chamomile is Matricaria recutita, or German Chamomile. Both are popular and equally easy to cultivate, however Chamaemelum nobile is often preferred, having a stronger aroma and herbal potency. Author: Bob Saunders.

In taking the reins as President of the Greater Chattanooga REALTORS® from my friend Robert Backer, I am both inspired and optimistic. No matter your profession or background, 2021 was a year that proved we are all capable of adapting to change and we are much stronger when we work together. All things seem to be pointing in the right direction for our market and I am confident that our market will continue the trend of recovery and homes will remain accessible to people moving to our area from all over the country. Like many REALTORS® who’ve served before me, I held a variety of jobs before choosing the career path of a full-time REALTOR®. During college, I worked in the food and beverage industry where I honed my people skills. While working as a journeyman carpenter in my late twenties, I learned that I really enjoyed building, which led me into general contracting and project management. Overall, I believe that all of those experiences and life lessons led me to where I am today as a REALTOR®. Years ago, I had been away from Chattanooga since I went away to attend college, and I returned to find it booming, and seeing it blossom was a great feeling. Neighborhoods were thriving, businesses were moving here from around the world, and downtown had an energy that I had never experienced in my youth. Many people talk of Chattanooga’s renaissance, but I feel we are far from seeing the height of its rebirth. In my years as a Realtor, I’ve seen many trends and fluctuations affect our market, but I also feel that these changes were quickly responded to with necessary adjustment. Not just on the part of the consumer, but from all perspectives - builders, government, buyers, sellers, lenders, and REALTORS®. We must all remember that we will often face a wide variety of disruptors, but eventually, things sort themselves out. Recently Dr. Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist of the National Association of REALTORS®, provided a market forecast that included a frenzied market mellowing out even with a slight rise in mortgage rates. In 2022, market forecasters are projecting a 3.7% growth in home sales and a 6.9% increase in home prices in the Greater Chattanooga market. After 2021 year-end numbers come in, we will have a better grasp of what these projected numbers mean locally for our housing market. I know that I’ll be looking forward to seeing the data from this past year to see where we need to focus locally. For example, we must continue to look at ways to solve our inventory issues and ensure that affordable homes are more accessible to homebuyers that are ready to invest. It is without question that homeownership leads to numerous positive outcomes that extend beyond the home, such as economic stability, better access to quality education, increased civic and social engagement and better health. The positive predictions for 2022 point toward a market that should be a bit more stable than 2021. While markets are ever-changing, we hope to see stability return in the areas that support and surround real estate. This would include home-building, labor, and supplies. At Greater Chattanooga REALTORS®, we have been blessed with some of the brightest leaders over the years. I’ve had the privilege of serving alongside many of these great leaders on various committees, including Governmental Affairs, Grievance, Community Partnerships, and Leadership Development. Most recently, my service on the Board of Directors has provided me with the encouragement that our membership is home to many good, hard-working REALTORS® who want to see our market continue to grow and thrive. They have weathered a few tough years and deserve the recognition for their hard work. It is because of them that I am truly honored to serve in the role of President in 2022. To homebuyers and sellers within or moving into the Greater Chattanooga area, you can rest assured that REALTORS® will continue to advocate for policies that will help make the most out of your investment and ensure that your property rights are at the forefront of our conversations with elected officials.

The future of efficient, seamless and personalised urban transportation As our cities continue to evolve and transform at a pace never seen before, connectivity and information systems are driving a new wave of innovation within the mobility sector. This innovation is resulting in highly accurate and reliable insight being delivered at the right time and to the right person, effortlessly guiding and helping them in deciding their next move on the transport network. Connectivity will be the coalescing force unlocking significant value and opportunities to both public and private sector organisations. The wide spread adoption of mobile and connected devices has already led to new service offerings, modes and operating models being developed, while continually blurring the line between public and private sector offerings. All such developments however have one common goal, which is to deliver the best possible travel experience in getting the customer from A to B. There are however three factors we see, that will help shape better customer outcomes for the public sector in their transformative journey to delivering mobility services in the future. Governance, Leadership and Regulation The mobility environment up until recently (in relative terms) was a simple one, made up of a public and private transportation network, each operating in relative isolation of each other. The pace of overall investment in future mobility services and technology is accelerating greatly and this has led to service offerings that deliver an integrated transport experience to customers. Companies such as Uber and Lime are helping to bridge the gap for customers between public transport and their destination while Google allows you to look up real-time information on the most efficient route to travel when you leave your home in the morning, interestingly – this might not be your typical route because of peak hour congestion or a traffic incident. The common theme arising from this transformation is the rapid expansion of stakeholders and organisations involved in delivering this integrated service and brings to consideration the role that the public authority plays in this equation. The answer often depends on the outcomes such an authority is seeking to achieve and the level of control they wish to have. Furthermore, broader external forces such as their capacity to influence legislation or the relative complexity of the existing network can also dictate their actions. Close collaboration between authorities, mobility and service providers in the private sector and customers is vital, notwithstanding some hard conversations may be necessary to help develop a balance between openness and regulation in helping them to achieve higher-level policy initiatives. Harnessing Data for Everyone The growing demand from customers to have more personalised and integrated services, has been fuelled by the wide spread adoption of enabling technologies such as smartphones and growth in connected devices. In many ways, the framework and policies around how we handle data will drive certain behaviours and outcomes within the market. This is reliant on having the right approach to how we gather it, use it and ultimately share it. Taking a Market Specific Approach There isn’t a one-size-fits-all strategy. Every region and metropolitan will have their own challenges to deal with. For some, alleviating housing affordability and congestion will be paramount, whereas for others it might be in-equality or problems associated with lack of economic opportunity. Ultimately, transport has not and never will be just about transport. It’s about connecting people and delivering opportunities to those who need it most, it’s about better housing and development, it’s about loneliness, society and culture. To achieve these outcomes, the private and public sector need to work together by engaging with their citizens while bringing forth strong leadership and regulation. Such leadership must enable as opposed to restrict innovative responses to these challenging problems. By taking a collaborative and a relatively open view, every region can work towards how they can shape their transport system to be the enabler in helping them to achieve the outcomes they seek.

Most US federal staff don’t feel safe from COVID at work, survey finds More than 70% of US federal employees working on-site say their agencies are not doing enough to keep them safe from COVID-19, a survey conducted by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) has found. The results also show that nearly 80% of federal employees who have been working remotely during the pandemic say they would feel unsafe if asked to return to the workplace. AFGE surveyed nearly 2,200 union members between 5-12 August, of whom 56% reported that they are currently working remotely due to the pandemic, with the rest attending their workplaces. Of respondents currently working on-site, 73% say they do not believe their agency is taking the precautions necessary to keep them safe. More than 69% say their worksites have a COVID-19 workplace safety plan in place, yet 71% do not believe that health and safety best practices are being followed. And just 56% of employees who require personal protective equipment to do their jobs say their worksites have adequate supplies. Of respondents working remotely, 79% say they would feel unsafe if asked to return to work. Just over half of respondents (51%) reported that their agency has begun requiring employees to go back to working on-site, and 47% say their employer has communicated a plan for the safe return to workplaces. However, 67% said they do not feel confident that their employer will be able to ensure their safety. Mental health services Access to mental health care appears to be patchy, both for on-site and remote working employees. While 59% of respondents who have been teleworking say their agency has offered or made available mental and emotional health services, that figure fell to 46% for those who continue to work on-site. In a positive finding of the survey, most employees – whether working remotely (72%) or on-site (71%) – report that the pandemic is not disrupting their ability to care for their children or other family members. AFGE national president Everett Kelley described the overall results as “clear and concerning”. He said they illustrate the “significant issues and concerns” federal employees are facing in performing their jobs safely during the pandemic and that they highlight “the lack of resources and support” being provided by federal agencies. “Whether they are working remotely or on-site, federal employees believe their workplaces are unsafe and that their agencies are not doing enough to protect them,” he said. “For months, our members have repeatedly called on the administration to include federal employees in decision-making around pandemic protocols to ensure agencies understand the needs of front-line workers, but our concerns have fallen on deaf ears.” Kelley called for Congress to pass legislation that allows employees to continue teleworking throughout the pandemic; accelerates production of protective equipment; improves oversight of how agencies are adhering to health and safety guidelines; and ensures workers are included in decisions about returning to workplaces through their representatives.

We all want a lotion that takes care of our skin properly and gives our skin what it needs. If you’re ever out on the hunt for a new skincare product, the words used on the labels can be quite confusing and make the process of finding what you need that much more difficult. Take the word therapeutic, for instance. What does it actually mean? What is a therapeutic repair lotion and do you need one? What Does Therapeutic Mean? The word therapeutic can be seen on lots of skincare products and we don’t always understand what it actually means. Therapeutic relates to the treatment or healing of a condition or a disease. Now, don’t be alarmed! A therapeutic repair lotion doesn’t mean it’s a lotion only for skin affected by disease. What it simply means is that the lotion is an effective treatment for some form of condition be it dry skin, eczema, psoriasis or any other skin condition. A lotion generally is meant to moisturize and smooth the skin while a therapeutic lotion offers a more intense, specific treatment of a skin condition. What Conditions Can a Therapeutic Repair Lotion Treat? Therapeutic repair lotions usually target specific conditions like dry and cracked skin, red and inflamed skin, contact dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, acne and rosacea, just to name a few. You’ll need to look at the lotion and see what conditions it’s meant to help treat to know if it’s the right lotion for your skin. Because our hands are always in action and come in contact with many external irritants, they tend to be more affected by these types of skin conditions. Using Gloves In A Bottle Shielding Lotion is a great way to target hands that suffer from dry and irritated skin, contact dermatitis and eczema because it creates an invisible layer of protection on the top layer of your skin. This not only helps our hands to heal but also helps to prevent these conditions from reoccurring. Do You Need a Therapeutic Repair Lotion? If you have a particular skin condition like eczema, psoriasis, dry and cracked skin or red and itchy skin, it’s always best to use a therapeutic repair lotion that targets that condition rather than a conventional moisturizer. Make sure that you are targeting the cause rather than just offering a temporary solution. Even if you’re lucky enough to not have dry or irritated skin on your hands, using a shielding lotion like Gloves In A Bottle will help to prevent these adverse skin conditions from appearing over time. If you’re considering using a therapeutic repair lotion, think about the needs of your skin and how much protection you want it to have. Using a lotion that helps to protect your skin is always a safe bet! Back to Skin Care Tips

But it’s not that straightforward: in its contract with a hotel, an agent normally insists the lodge offers the identical charges on its own website as on the agency website. Mom consoled me. I actually wished it, thus, next time once I noticed her, asked for the same with my trembling lips.

Grimsby Town have completed the signing of Scott Burgess on a free transfer to mark their second January transfer addition. Burgess' contract at Port Vale was terminated earlier on Friday and the midfielder has now penned a deal until the end of the season. He will wear the number 30 shirt for the Mariners. The 24-year old joins Danny Amos as the club's newest recruits after the left-back was signed on Thursday. Burgess was released by the League Two side after two and a half years at the club, where he made 62 appearances in total. He was voted as the club's Young Player of the Year in 2019/20. Paul Hurst was keen to add another central midfielder to his ranks after the departure of Alex Hunt, who returned to Sheffield Wednesday this week. "I spoke to my agent a couple of days ago about it potentially happening," Burgess told gtfc.co.uk. "It came around just as I was driving home from training with Port Vale that it was all pretty much sorted, so I am delighted and looking forward to getting going. "As a player, I like to keep the ball, I am possession-based, try to get on the ball, create for the team and also contribute with some goals. "I spoke to Danny [Amos] last night while I was trying to get everything sorted, gave him a little text last night and spoke to him today so that was nice, but I also know [Shaun] Pearson, [Jordan] Maguire-Drew from my time on loan at Wrexham and Crookesy from Port Vale, so it's always nice coming to a new place where you know a few of the faces." Town boss Paul Hurst believes Burgess will add a creative spark from midfield, which has, at times, been lacking in the absence of John McAtee. "I think he will bring some quality on the ball, some creativity," he told the club. "I don't think his goalscoring record is probably as good as it could be, something that I am sure he wants to add to his game and he is definitely capable. He's another I have had tabs on for the last couple of months, talking about the possibility. "I saw him for Port Vale when they were challenging in the playoffs, they beat a really good Crewe team and that's probably the first time that he really caught my eye a couple of seasons ago. "Both lads so far have been really keen to join and it's nice to get that. Sometimes players or agents are not keen on these deals happening but these two so far have been easy to get done because of their enthusiasm to come and try and help us for the remainder of the season".

Getting started in the vacation rental management industry may seem overwhelming. That’s where this guide comes in to help. Mistakes to Avoid Managing one or more vacation rentals is a great way to cycle through guests more frequently than long-term rental alternatives. Your short-term and vacation properties can be rented out for days or weeks at a time, without having to worry about longer contracts and all the hassle that accompanies those types of tenants. That being said, there are plenty of things to be aware of when getting started as a vacation rental manager and plenty of mistakes to avoid. Don’t Think You Know it All One of the biggest mistakes aspiring short-term and vacation rental property managers can make is jumping into the game before they’ve read the rules. Collecting information before you get started is a great way to begin your career as a vacation rental manager. Prior to opening your business, you should be well-versed in the risks of the industry, financial investments you’ll need to make, the rules and regulations regarding short-term rentals in your area, what it will take to have your listings succeed in your market and much more. There is no such thing as too much information when it comes to running your vacation rental management business, and at no point should you think you’ve learned all there is to know. Don’t Do Everything Yourself To truly succeed, you’re going to have to put a lot of work into your business. With so much on your plate, it’s critical to know what not to worry about. One of the best ways to clear your schedule so you can focus on what truly matters is hiring a team or outsourcing your operations. Hiring a third-party cleaning service, for example, will ensure that your listings are cleaned to the industry standard and that you’re not taking chunks out of your own time to complete this task by yourself. Not all help is found in other people. A property management software can help simplify and automate a lot of the processes involved in running your business, saving you valuable time that you can invest into growing your business and tending to the aspects of your company that require a human touch. Don’t Make Assumptions Take a few minutes to scroll through an online forum or Facebook group of property managers and you’ll understand just how dynamic this industry can be. Assuming anything about your business, the process of managing vacation rentals, potential guests and the like can be a huge mistake when running your vacation rental management business. Never assume every inquiry will become a paid guest. Never assume that guests will show up or leave on time and will be fully available when you’re trying to contact them. Never assume that what’s working for your business right now will continue working down the line. In short, you need to constantly be learning and adapting in order to provide the best experience for your guests and to position your business to succeed.

RECONNAISSANCE OF FACTORIES AND THEFTS OF DOCUMENTS AND PROPERTY Another matter which was greatly emphasized in our sector, on account of the existence of important factories and offices, was that of getting information and identifying individuals and important places, thefts of documents and property in factories and important offices. A person named Sayf, who was one of those in charge of the forces and who worked in the Pars Electric Factory for a time, made documents secretly available to the Organization, a procedure which was considered normal in the Organization. Or there was a theft of documents and money. The supporters of the group broke the safe of the Bell Helicopter Factory and stole three million Tomans in cash. They also plundered many papers and documents of this imperialist company. You may remember how the hypocrites shouted slogans about divulging imperialistic documents and contracts. They should answer this one. They stole important military papers and God Knows what they did with them. These documents that you see are related to the identification of strategic points in the shoe factory and power plants. This one is related to guild and geographical details of the power industry prepared in 1980, together with all the plans and particulars. (Document No.6) This one is a sample of the internal report of the Organization related to the Melli shoe Factory stating: آ«Larger forces should be placed at strategic points in the factories. For instance in the shoe factory, the chemical and mechanic sections are more important, for if these are sabotaged, the whole factory will cease to function». They should be asked: « You, who in 1980 claimed to be engaged in so-called peaceful activities, what does your identification of important points mean and for what purpose is it? We could only say that a plot was about to be hatched. There are tens of such examples which cannot be mentioned for security reasons. I only say that the hypocrites had open and disguised forces in strategic places like airports, power stations, the military industry and munitions factories. Who knows, there may have been a connection between these identifications and the bombing of airports and important military centers by the Iraqi Ba'athists. The Iraqi government has no love for the hypocrites to freely place propaganda and radio facilities at their disposals. Obviously, there was a mutual understanding. When the goal is a thirst for power, no obligation or principle matters. Every kind of act becomes permissible. We know of other thefts too. For instance they had stolen 50,000 pills (anti-biotic capsules) from the drug factory of I.D.I. Once they stole 2000 syringes from the drug factory of Don Baxter. In these cases, the supporters not only were not blamed, but they were also encouraged in one way or another. I remember for example that they had ordered to sell those pills (at 7 or 8 rails each) and to spend the money on other matters. Confessions of high ranking MKO terrorists (12)

Chronic Pain is a complex interaction between the body’s physiological processes and the brains hard wiring system. Chronic pain often leaves people feeling like they have a cloud hanging over them with constant nagging and debilitating symptoms. There are many different strategies involved with managing chronic pain but the best approach is one with a multidisciplinary team. It is important to have a collection of people around you, including doctors, physiotherapists, pain specialists etc that are all working together telling you the same thing. Generally the body is very good at healing itself; however, this can come unstuck, maybe in the form of chronic overload of tissues, from nerve injuries, or from poor and altered healing responses from your body. Often these changes have occurred over a prolonged period of time which indicates that a sustained period of physiotherapy and rehabilitation needs to occur to address all the underlying pathological tissues changes. Chronic pain will lead to tissues in your body becoming extremely deconditioned and this can lead to a vicious circle of boom and bust cycles, the danger lies in overdoing it when you are feeling good leading to a vicious flare up of pain after which you then need to take further rest cycles and delaying your rehabilitation. The best approach to chronic pain is to try and address the underlying pathological tissue changes that have occurred, using techniques such as massage, acupuncture or mobilisation, combine with a graduated exercise program to reprogram your neural system and local muscles. These then need to be developed to increase your strength and endurance so that your body learns to adapt to the daily stresses of life and work and improves ones endurance capacity. Cardiovascular exercise forms an important part of this regime and will be vital to improving the condition of your tissues so that your tissue tolerance to loading improves. This takes place with exercise bike work or a hydrotherapy program and can be seen as an important way to help rebuild your fitness levels. It will take a large amount of effort and work but with the appropriate attention and desire you can change your situation. Ensuring that you work hard with your specific program to gradually increase your exercise levels without flare ups is very important. Pacing is an important component of the program that needs to be discussed with your physiotherapist. It is important to be gradually increasing what you are doing by no more than 5- 10 percent per week. Your body then slowly adapts to these stresses getting stronger without risking being overloaded too rapidly. There is no magic recipe with chronic pain but a specific program designed for the individual that incorporates a specific exercise and rehabilitation program will ensure you improve your situation and help to manage your pain levels more effectively.

Leaking Pee a Little? Urologists Wish You Knew these 11 Tips to Make It Better These tweaks can help you get back your bladder control. For some women, incontinence is a daily struggle, but there are plenty of ways—from lifestyle changes (say, quitting smoking) to minor tweaks (drinking less water) that can improve how the condition impacts your daily life. Needing to urinate completely out of the blue (from overactive bladder) or worrying you may leak a little whenever your gym class starts jumping jacks (from stress incontinence) can be anxiety provoking and emotionally upsetting, but all of the doctors HealthiNation spoke to agreed: There’s no reason to suffer incontinence and think you can’t do anything to make it better. In addition to medical treatments for incontinence, these lifestyle changes can improve incontinence symptoms too. 1. Kick butt We don’t need to tell you that smoking is bad for your heart and lungs, but those toxic chemicals also take a toll on your kidneys and bladder. These critical parts of your body's filtration system must process the toxins from cigarette smoke too, says S. Adam Ramin, MD, a urologist and medical director of Urology Cancer Specialists in Los Angeles. “They weren't made for such a burden. [The chemicals] kill them, literally. From the risk of kidney failure to multiple types of urological cancers, smoking is one lifestyle habit that really isn't worth it.” Smoking can cause you to develop a chronic cough, which increases your risk of stress incontinence, which is when you leak urine when you put pressure on the bladder from laughing, coughing, jumping, or other such activities. Smoking is also an irritant to the bladder, which makes overactive bladder worse. It’s also a key risk factor for bladder cancer, according to the National Association for Continence. 2. Maintain a healthy body weight Sure, losing weight can feel like it’s the answer to every health problem, but in this case, it helps to understand a bit about the bladder and your anatomy. Remember, the bladder is essentially a muscular organ and those muscular walls are what help prevent you from leaking urine when you laugh or jump. “One of the best ways to keep your bladder healthy is by maintaining a healthy body weight, because too much weight can put a great deal of pressure on the bladder,” says Dr. Ramin. Scientific research backs this up: A classic study published in The New England Journal of Medicine found that overweight women with incontinence (leaking urine at least 10 times per week) who were put on a strict weight-loss program lost 17 pounds in six months and had nearly 50 percent fewer episodes of incontinence. “This has been a real motivator for my patients to work on losing weight,” says Maria Canter, MD, director of the Urogynecology Center of Northern Virginia. 3. Avoid the foods and drinks your bladder hates Certain foods and beverages make your bladder angry. Caffeine and alcohol can irritate the bladder and increase its activity. Some women with overactive bladder naturally restrict their fluid intake, which makes sense if you’re used to drinking A LOT of water each day. But dehydrating yourself can backfire. It can cause constipation, which makes overactive bladder worse. And it can concentrate your urine, turning it into another form of bladder irritant that makes you need to go. Chocolate, spicy, or acidic foods can also cause bladder problems, especially in those people who are already prone to overactive bladder symptoms, he says. 4. Get moving Exercise may very well be the best natural medicine for the mind and the body, and your bladder is no exception. “Exercise strengthens the pelvic floor muscles as well as general muscle tone. Both of these factors can help maintain control of urine,” says Dr. Ramin. A regular exercise routine also ensures a healthy flow of blood, oxygen, and nutrients to your kidneys, says Dr. Ramin. “This helps keep them in proper working order to continue expertly filtering toxins out of the body.” 5. Carve out time for Kegels Strengthening your pelvic muscles is one of the best ways to maintain bladder control. Here’s how to do Kegels properly: “Find the muscles you use to stop urinating, and simply squeeze and hold them,” instructs Dr. Ramin. Reinforcing these muscles over time will allow you much more control over your bladder, minimizing leaking or severe urges to urinate. A regular Kegel routine will also help hold your pelvic organs firmly in place to avoid prolapse (a sagging of the pelvic organs, which is most common in women who’ve had a vaginal birth). The best part of Kegel exercises? It’s not clear to anyone else that you’re doing them. You can practice at the office during a way-too-long meeting, while you’re stuck in traffic commuting, or, hey, while you’re reading this article. 6. Don't put off bathroom breaks for too long We’ve all done it: held in urine when we really had to go because it just wasn’t convenient. (Who wants to use the grocery store restroom unless it’s a dire emergency?) But trying to be a camel isn’t doing your bladder any favors. “Holding your urine for an extended period of time actually weakens the bladder muscles, and the longer the urine stays in your bladder the more your body is exposed to potentially harmful bacteria, which can raise your risk of developing a urinary tract or bladder infection,” explains Dr. Ramin. “Make it a habit to schedule yourself a quick break every two to three hours to use the restroom before the urge becomes severe.” 7. Try the tampon trick Some patients who experience urinary incontinence related to physical activity can try inserting a tampon when exercising, says Dr. Canter. The stress incontinence “occurs when the urethra, the tube that allows the bladder to drain, moves too much or is weak,” she explains. “When the urethra moves too much, it is called hypermobile. You can think of a hypermobile urethra as moving like a swing. This movement allows urine to slip out.” Placing a tampon minimizes how much the urethra can move around while you exercise, potentially minimizing urine leakage. Don’t forget to remove the tampon afterward.. 8. Train your bladder to be more patient Women with overactive bladder can try a behavioral technique known as bladder training to try to reduce the feelings of urgency and frequent urination. This is ideal for patients who may be going to the bathroom quite frequently; say, every hour or even more often. Let’s say it’s 10 AM and you feel the need to go; with bladder training, you’d try hard to distract yourself until 10:10 AM. Once you got that down, you could try to extend your time to 20 minutes before running to the bathroom. The goal is to delay urination in small increments so you can aim to wait two to three hours between trips to the toilet. 9. Outfit your bedroom to handle accidents Nancy, 66, who lives with incontinence, says she prepares her bed with a waterproof mattress pad. “You will leak on accident and don't want a smelly, wet mattress,” she says. She suggests using double or triple sets on sheets on your bed to be ready for a nighttime issue. “So, if you leak, you strip the bed, throw soiled laundry in the washer, and are back in bed before you wake up completely.” This prevents you from having to do laundry or remake your bed in the middle of the night, which can be disruptive to a good night’s sleep. 10. Don't fear protective undergarments We’ve come a long way from products that feel like adult diapers. Some women may opt for protective underwear. Both disposable and washable varieties can offer discretion and peace of mind. Bladder control pads, which have materials that absorb and draw liquid into the center of the pad, are another protection option. 11. Prepare for traveling Pack a thin, waterproof mattress pad when you travel to prevent leaking on sheets, Nancy recommends. She also advises to bring along a decorative waterproof chair pads, to use in any chair or in a car; ideal for long-distance car rides.

Increasingly frequent wildfires are shaking our world, animals’ worlds, natures’ world, and ripping through forests and nature reserves almost every month. Started for a variety of reasons, these wildfires all across the globe are bringing about possibly irresistible damage to our world and the habitats of many species living within these damaged ecosystems. According to the Insurance Information Institute, also known as the III, “the wildfire season in 2019 has not been as active as 2018,” with a couple thousand fires breaking out compared to 58,083 individual, unique wildfires in 2018. Therefore, you may be wondering, “why has the topic of climate change, especially wildfires with relation to climate change, suddenly gained such immense traction in 2019?” The answer to this question comes in two main explanations: the exponential buildup of all of these fires across the years with little recovery, and the severity of said wildfires this year. Photo credit: Vladimir Kudino In a narrative style article written by The Vox, author Eliza Barclay tugs on the reader’s emotions by discussing the physical burning of the trees and writing how “some residents have evacuated in time, but others die in their cars or their homes as the flames overtake them.” This California wildfire, affecting the area near Palm Springs and threatening a National Forest, was one of the worst this planet has seen. The flames stretched 100 miles west and 100 miles south, creating a huge spectrum of damage produced by said fires. Specialists say that the fires reached a total of 1.5 million acres of forest, land, and civilization: this amounting to the biggest wildfire that California has ever seen. In terms of the long term damage caused by this wildfire and future ones in the surrounding area, descriptions, and data regarding climate highlights rising temperatures. Said rising temperatures create a drier, more susceptible landscape across the state, creating long-term damage to the trees, scrubs, and, therefore, also the homes of many animals and creatures native to the California forests (like many species of bear, bird, deer, and foxes) that are vital for the ecosystem to survive. Another important point and explanation of the worsening matter of climate change that writer Eliza Barclay brings up briefly is the notion of old, fire-torn trees being burned for a second or third time. With the sheer amount of wildfires that California has seen, a massive 8,054 unique fires in 2018 alone according to the Insurance Information Institute, the trees that were caught alight in this horrific 2019 fires were likely somehow touched by fire in the previous year as well. These trees, already weak from the previous wildfires, are increasingly more dry and flammable than the healthy trees we may know of. Therefore, any form of fire that touches those trees is even more severe and wide-sweeping than the last, passing the flames from tree to scrub to tree, sweeping the forest. A topic that may seem inherently negative, maybe even hopeless: what is one single person supposed to do about a massive California wildfire affecting large sections of the whole state’s population? Some scientists even say there is no hope, but we can never lose that individualism, and maybe even a little bit of egotism that tells us deep down that something can be done for turning this situation around. That egotism proves to every individual person that they can make an impact on this even if it does seem small, it’s there. Half of the recovery and movement forward is helping those effected through any means possible, like providing anything you feel comfortable giving away, and doing our best as a society to help support these forests. Several non-profit organizations – along with seeking food, water, blood, and monetary donations – seek volunteers for cleaning up any debris or fire-torn tree limbs, scrubs, and foliage to prevent anything from catching alight again.

As the quarantine goes on, the need for a chocolate goodie gets stronger. Chocolate relieves symptoms of stress and PMS, and when eaten with moderation, it can actually be pretty healthy. So, here is my personal selection of some of my favorite easy chocolate recipes for when you want your snack to be a little fancier. - Italian Hot Chocolate Even better than the traditional version, the italian hot chocolate is a very thick, soft drink that can almost be eaten as a dessert. As a hot chocolate lover myself, this is THE best recipe that has ever come across my way. Ingredients: 1 cup of whole milk 1 cup of heavy cream 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar 1 ½ teaspoons of cornstarch 128 grams/ 4½ ounces of chopped dark chocolate Whipped cream for optional decoration Instructions: In a medium saucepan, over medium to high heat, whisk together ¾ cup of the milk with the cream and the sugar. Heat, whisking occasionally, until the mixture starts to bubble around the edges. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining milk with the cornstarch until well combined. Add the cornstarch mixture to the milk and cream mix, whisking until heated, for about one minute. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the chocolate, whisking until completely dissolved. Remove the hot chocolate from the heat and pour into two average sized mugs. Decorate with the whipped cream if you feel like it and there you have it! Check the original recipe by clicking here. - Chocolate Fudge Cake This is the fudgiest chocolate cake ever. This soft and rich recipe can be called a “giant petit gateau” for its smooth and creamy center. The original recipe has a whipping cream frosting, but I prefer using a simple ganache. Ingredients: 1 cup of semi sweet chopped chocolate 1 ¾ cup of flour ⅓ cup of cocoa powder 2 eggs 1 ¼ cup of granulated sugar ⅓ cup of whole milk ⅔ cup of water 1 stick of butter (100g) ⅓ cup of oil 1 tablespoon of baking powder 1 ½ cup of heavy cream 100 grams of semi sweet chopped chocolate Butter and cocoa powder to grease the pan Instructions: Preheat the oven to 320°F/160°C. Butter a round medium cake pan and sprinkle the cocoa powder through it. In a medium saucepan, melt the chocolate with the sugar, the milk and the water in medium heat, until the liquids are warm and the chocolate is totally melted. Turn off the heat and add the butter in small pieces and the oil, mixing with a whisk to combine. Reserve and leave it to chill a little bit, until it’s lukewarm. In a large bowl, mix in the flour, the cocoa powder and the baking powder. Add the chocolate mixture, mixing it well with a whisk until smooth. Add the eggs and mix it well with the whisk to combine. Transfer your batter to the cake pan and take it to the oven for about 40 minutes, until you stick a toothpick on the center of your cake and it gets out completely clean. Take the cake out of the oven and let it chill completely at room temperature. While your cake chills, prepare your ganache by mixing the heavy cream and the remaining chocolate in a small saucepan, in low to medium heat. When the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is uniform and shiny, your ganache is ready. When the cake gets to room temperature and the ganache is lukewarm, pour the ganache on top of the cake as desired.

A chocolate mousse pleases everyone, especially the chocolate lovers. It is a light and airy mousse with lots of flavor. Ingredients: ●1L/ 4¼ cups of whole milk ●100ml/ ½ cup of heavy cream ●50g/ ¼ cup of cocoa powder ●50g/ ¼ cup of cornstarch ●150g/ ¾ cup of sugar 300g/ 1 ½ cup of your preference chocolate (dark or milk chocolate) Instructions: Put all the ingredients, except the chocolate, in a saucepan in medium heat, until it thickens. Add the chocolate and mix well until melted. Transfer to a tray and take it to the fridge for 4 hours. Unmold and enjoy! Check the original recipe by clicking here. - Fudgy Brownies These are the best brownies I have ever eaten – and that’s a lot when it comes from me. They are very rich, fudgy and dense – perfect when eaten warm. This is a very big recipe, so if you want a smaller amount only for yourself, consider making half a recipe. Ingredients: 1 ⅓ cup of unsalted butter 1 ⅜ cup of chopped dark chocolate 2 ⅓ cups of brown sugar 7 eggs 1 cup of flour 1 cup of cocoa powder A pinch of salt 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract Instructions: Melt the chocolate with the butter in a small pan, in low heat. When it’s uniform, add the sugar and mix. Turn off the heat and chill it out until it’s lukewarm. After it’s chilled out, add the eggs one by one, whisking until just combined. Sift the flour and the baking powder and mix gently. Later, add the salt and the vanilla extract. Bake your brownies at the oven preheated to 180°C/356°F for about 40 minutes or until you stick a toothpick on the batter and it’s a little bit moist, with a little bit of the dough. Enjoy with a nice ball of ice cream or as you want! Check the original recipe by clicking here. - Chocolate Truffles Uncommon Goods This is one of the best snacks ever! These truffles melt on the mouth, and have such an intense flavor. And to top it off, it’s one of the easiest recipes on the list! But be warned – they take forever to make, because they need to chill a lot so they don’t fall apart. Ingredients: 500 grams/ 3 cups of chopped dark chocolate 1 cup of heavy cream 1 stick of butter at room temperature 3 tablespoons of brandy 1 cup of cocoa powder Instructions: In a big bowl, melt half of the chocolate on the microwave. Add the heavy cream and mix very well. Add the butter and the brandy. Mix well and let it rest in the fridge for 24 hours. After the waiting time, take the batter off the fridge, and make small balls with the help of a spoon. Take the balls to the fridge for 1 hour. Melt the remaining chocolate in the microwave. Put the cocoa powder in a plate. Dive the balls into the melted chocolate and take them off with a fork. Let the excess drip well into the chocolate bowl. Transfer the truffles into the plate with the cocoa powder. When they are firm, roll to coat them with the powder completely. Remove the excess cocoa powder of each one and transfer to a big tray, and let it rest in the fridge for one more hour.

Let’s be real, with classes, jobs, internships, clubs, and who knows what else, it can be really hard to figure out what you’re going to be eating during the week. I usually try to meal plan and make a bulk meal at the beginning of the week so I can just reheat food every other day, but sometimes you just don’t have time to spend at the grocery store or cooking. When I’m in a pinch, here are a few meals I make throughout the week. 1. Choose Your Own Adventure: Protein+Veggies+Grain+Seasoning Image Credit: Jakub Kapusnak I love shakshuka but I haven’t had time to make it in forever. Normally for my go-to meal I saute a bell pepper and maybe half an onion, add a can of chickpeas or boil some lentils, and throw those in. To flavor I’ll use fresh garlic or garlic powder along with spices in my cabinet like cayenne, chili powder, paprika, and cumin (and salt and pepper, of course). I usually add salsa because I love a lot (my go-to condiment), and so the meal doesn’t feel so dry. Then I serve it with rice or naan (I love cooking a few cups of rice at the start of the week and then adding some water and steaming it in the microwave throughout the week). You can easily choose whatever add-ins and seasonings you want and have at it! 2. Sofritas Bowl Image Credit: BuzzFeed Tasty Another one of my favorites is the Sofritas Bowl from BuzzFeed’s Tasty. It’s easy to make and the seasoning for the tofu is so good. Forget paying for an expensive bowl or burrito from Chipotle, make your own at home! 3. Chickpea Curry Image Credit: Chef de Home If you have a pressure cooker or Instant Pot (I love my Instant Pot so much), I recommend checking out Chef de Home’s Vegan Chickpea Curry. It’s quick to make and once it starts pressure cooking you can squeeze in some homework while you’re waiting for your food to finish cooking! 4. Your favorite restaurant salad (or bowl) at home! Image Credit: Daniel Cuklev There’s a salad I loved getting from Spring Chicken in Miami called the Superfood Salad. So I looked up the description of it on the menu, and I added my own little spin to it. My go-to salad to pack for lunch is spring mix with tofurkey (that I season with garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder, or garlic powder and the cajun seasoning from leelalicious that I have leftover from her cajun chicken and rice I made a couple months ago, and tomato paste too if I have it leftover from cooking). I also toast some pecans in a pan with salt and add that in. Then I cut up some cheddar, or vegan cheddar, and I chop a slice or two of a green apple, or other fruit like strawberries or blueberries. I throw in some craisins, and I finish it off with an apple cider vinaigrette. It’s honestly my favorite thing to make for lunch. If there’s a salad or bowl you usually love to order from anywhere, try making it yourself at home!

Scheduling and organizing are very important aspects of any busy Collegiette’s life. And most college students are very busy thanks to their endless amounts of assignments, exams, group meetings, social events, and more. A planner is most students’ go-to for keeping track of the mayhem of college years. I’ve taken a look at different planners to help you decide which one might be the best for your type of schedule. 1. Lilly Pulitzer Planner The Lilly planners are well-known and used by many college ladies, especially those involved in sororities. They come with gorgeous, colorful, and preppy calendars. Pros: Bright designs and colors; Cute stickers; Hardcover Cons: Only one type of layout — horizontal view; Not too much space, even with the “Large Size” choice Good for: A sorority girl who loves her Lilly and might just use it for sorority events, basic plans, exam dates and assignment deadlines. 2. Kate Spade Planner Kate Spade is another preppy designer that many Collegiettes love. It’s pretty similar to the Lilly planner, yet looks more professional than the whimsical designs of Lilly. Pros: Professional looking; Cute designs and sayings Cons: Layout — only a horizontal choice; Price — $36 Good for: A fun girl that also has to be professional, whether for work or an internship … or just a lover of Kate Spade. 3. Erin Condren Planner The Erin Condren planner is now my personal favorite. Before EC, I was a staunch Lilly lover. Once I was introduced to the EC world (thanks to the tons of YouTube videos), I knew it was for me. I love the fact that it has interchangeable covers so you can change your planner cover if you get sick of it. (Yet you can also choose a hardback cover now, as well.) I also love the fact that you have the ability to personalize your planner exactly to what you want. You are able to choose the layout — vertical, horizontal, or hourly. You also can create a neutral color scheme or a colorful one, and add your name on it. I personally love the hourly so you can write exactly what you are doing at each time period, which helps more with time management. It also has a lot of space to write to-dos and other lists. Pros: Interchangeable covers; Ability to have different layouts: vertical, horizontal, and hourly; Great sizing Cons: Price, which is $50; Interchangeable covers can get flimsy Good for: Students who love to celebrate months and holidays, love their stickers, and need lots of space to put down all their assignments; For the busiest of students 4. Target Day Designer Planner The Target planner is great because of its size, as well. It has tons of room to write events, to-dos, and assignments. It is larger than the average planner and is the size of an actual notebook, which does take up more room in your backpack. It is way cheaper than a lot of these other planners, though! Pros: Price; It has lined paper; Simple Cons: Large notebook size; Simple Good for: The simple girl — someone who doesn’t need a lot of glitz and glamour and wants to get straight to work 5. Happy Planner I have never personally used the Happy Planner, yet it is definitely on my list to try. Some notable things are that you can take your pages out with their unique binding (similar to a binder), and you can add pages in. Pros: Fun designs; Nice binding — you can take pages out and add them in; Can choose Un-Date planners; Great stickers Cons: Size; Loose paper (durability); One vertical layout; No color on the back of the planner tabs Good for: For the simple gal as well; One who might not need as much planning or information as the EC girl, but more than the Lilly one 6. Apps / Google Calendar Since this is the age of the Internet and apps, it’s no surprise that there are now apps for planning. Pros: Easy to add items right from your phone/computer; Can add in items straight from your email when someone emails you about an event Cons: Can’t just write it down; If don’t have technology around you can’t use it (Ex: if your phone dies and you need to add something in) Good for: The technologically savvy; Students who are always on their phone no matter what; Email-lover I hope these reviews help your productivity, Collegiettes. Use one, two, or more of these items to help keep your life on track. I, personally, use the Erin Condren Planner and the Google Calendar as well. I keep both updated so if I don’t have my planner on me, I can add it on my phone, or if I don’t have my phone (like in class), I can physically write it in my planner. Happy planning!

With Youtube as one of the biggest social media platforms, there is to offer in today’s time, everybody is engrossed on their telephone screens, trying to find something new and useful to their interest. While some of us are watching it on our mobile phones, here is Kashmira from Kashmira Art, a DIY Youtube channel from Nasik, that just crossed a milestone of 100K subscribers. Having a conversation was purely a delight and we sure did get some answers that are potentially going to help you in your journey to starting your very own channel, be it on Youtube or Instagram. Journey From 0 To 100K Unknown to the world of Youtube, Kashmira joined as a stray kid on the street. With no friends with prior experience of the platform, she slowly, steadily got a grip on what we call a successful DIY channel today. It wasn’t just no knowledge of Youtube, it was absolutely no experience of videography either. All Kashmira knew was to start her own channel and so she did. Trying different patterns and strategies, Kashmira hit the 100K milestone after a 2-year journey on Youtube. Kashmira definitely shares a different bond with her subscribers. She mentions how her subscribers have been there for her no matter what. They have been extremely loyal and consistent to her as she has been for them. It surely was a slow start to the career on Youtube but it definitely was worth the while. How Does The 100K Feel? When I started out on Youtube, I was confident about many certain milestones like 100K subscribers. Knowing someday I would, I still got emotional the day I crossed the number and have been sobbing over my success all this time at many intervals. Haven subscribed to my channel with their own will and dedication is the biggest achievement I take in hand today. Channel’s USP When it comes to my Youtube channel, the USP I feel is the home decor. You can find the easiest and the most useful DIY options available. For people who may not be artistic, you definitely can find something here for yourself. For people who have less material availability, this is the place for you. I believe I come up with easier techniques in my videos and have that loyal bond with my subscribers. With USP, there comes a point when people come and bite you with your own creativity. They tend to steal your techniques and work while they pose it as their own. The happy thing is that it doesn’t last for long! A Message To Your Followers/Subscribers Do not throw things you can use in DIY like plastic bottles or paints. There are many things in your house that may be considered as waste but are actually gold when it comes to DIY. Go beyond your limits and create something which shows a part of you and how you feel with DIYs. They are the easiest and the most convenient way to show your creative face.

She wanted to make something out of it so she took it back home and that’s exactly when her journey to the DIY world began. By 2019, she realized she had built up a brand and a business through her creativity but it was definitely the time to step up her game. That’s when she started sharing her content online rather than supplying bottles as a business venture. Kashmira loves the art of teaching and that’s why Youtube is her best friend!

She believes girls have been hating more on girls lately and it isn’t something that should be a continued practice. Hate comments are disturbing but you get used to them over time. At first, they seem like fire, then they turn into water. As content creators, we put in a lot of effort while making a video for our subscribers. This must be valued. It’s just not art that goes into work while uploading a video online. It’s things like videography, strategizing, content curation, social media and so much more than we think of. It surely takes a lot of hard work, consistency, strategizing, and effort that play the most important role while becoming an influencer on any social media platform. We hope for the best for Karishma and her business venture as we go ahead in life. Stay tuned to HerZindagi for more stories and updates!

Since June 2020, Fondation Hirondelle has been implementing programs to support local communities faced with the COVID crisis, with partner media on the ground in Uganda, Guinea and Sierra Leone. A project funded by the H2H network, supported by UK Aid. For many of us, access to information on the coronavirus is easy and we take it for granted. From the early days of the outbreak we were kept up to date on where the virus was spreading, what the symptoms were and what measures were being put in place. Now, in a matter of seconds, we can find out how many cases of Covid-19 have been reported in our area, how the new vaccines work, where to get tested and what the test will likely involve. We can witness journalists holding our leaders to account and challenging authorities on failings in their responses. Of course, we are also confronted with a wealth of false claims – no country has been spared exposure to harmful mis- and dis -information, rumours and conspiracy theories. But for those of us with access to reliable media and the ability to know where to look for verified information, the latest facts, guidance and findings are there if we want them. Yet for millions of people, finding out even the basics about the virus is difficult - information is at best scarce, and at worst, dangerously misleading. Many communities in poor or remote areas do not have the internet at their fingertips nor reliable sources which speak their language. Word of mouth is therefore the main vehicle for news, often distorting the facts and layering them with misconceptions. For those lucky enough to have smartphones, there is often nowhere to turn to for verification of the claims that spread through social media and messaging apps – is Covid-19 really an invention by the West? Is it true I can protect myself by avoiding spicy food? Are Africans guineapigs for treatments? Should I stay away from Chinese/Asian/white/Christian/Muslim people? This is why local media have a fundamental role to play as a lifeline to populations in health crises, and the reason why our Fondation Hirondelle H2H-funded coronavirus project was warmly welcomed by media houses and audiences alike. The project provided resources for media enabling them to help populations navigate the crisis. This meant increasing both accessibility and quality of information in dozens of local languages. For example, transmission equipment supplied to the network of community stations, Radio Rurale de Guinée allowed radio channels to reach people in remote areas, providing coronavirus productions by the Association de Journalistes Scientifiques de Guinée. In Uganda, Media in Cooperation and Transition and the East Africa Radio Service developed a highly popular coronavirus Radio Drama, The Pearl, which was broadcast via a network of radio partners covering 80% of the country, and hosted on Viamo’s 3-2-1 platform, allowing people with basic phones to dial in to a free number in order to listen to episodes. As well as offering solution-focused, potentially life-saving information about the virus and its wider impacts, programmes aimed to be engaging, clear, and rooted in audiences’ everyday realities. It was also important to consider the needs of different people; mainstream media often neglects to give voices to the most vulnerable. In Sierra Leone, Radio Mount Aureol-Cotton Tree News created dedicated content for those suffering from disabilities. For example highlighting the challenges faced by people with sight or hearing problems, for whom social distancing and mask-wearing sometimes created a feeling of isolation and helplessness as they could no long read lips, voices became muffled, and others became reluctant to approach to them when they needed help. In all three of the project countries, audiences were so excited about the programmes that, in response to popular demand from audiences who wanted to listen again, radio stations ended up re-broadcasting them without charging transmission fees. This enthusiasm is testament to the fact that all of us need to be able to understand the world around us and make informed choices. Reliable information cannot and must not be taken for granted - it requires continuous investment and commitment - and in times of crises, it can mean the difference between life and death.

Making Tax Digital - back to basics and future rollout It’s now a year since MTD for VAT was first introduced in April 2019. This article presents a reminder of the basics as well as a look at the future rollout of MTD to other taxes. In December 2018, and updated in February 2020, HMRC offered webinar guidance to agents on the introduction of MTD for VAT. The main rules can be found in VAT Notice 700/22: Making Tax Digital for VAT, first published in July 2018 and updated in October 2019. What is MTD for VAT? As most of us know, MTD for VAT means using MTD compatible software to record business transactions, prepare the VAT return and exchange information with HMRC using API (Application Programming Interface) enabled software. The API software does not send every transaction to HMRC, just the 9 box VAT return figures. HMRC systems cannot interrogate an agent’s (or client’s) software or take detailed transaction information from it. Agents who wish to act for their clients in MTD require a new Agent Services Account (ASA) per firm. According to HMRC, as at February 2020, over 33,000 ASA’s had been created. Timelines and compliance On 1 April 2019, MTD was mandated for all VAT registered businesses with taxable turnover above the VAT threshold (currently £85,000); meaning businesses were required to use MTD from their first VAT period starting on or after 1 April 2019 (or 1 October 2019 for those deferred; estimated at 3.5% of the VAT population by HMRC). For businesses with taxable turnover at or below £85,000, MTD remains voluntary, even for those which are VAT registered but on a voluntary basis. According to HMRC, at the end of January 2020, over 1.29 million businesses were signed up for MTD (including some voluntarily) and over 3.12 million VAT return submissions had been made. There are some exemptions from MTD including those who are already exempt from online filing for VAT, insolvent businesses, those exempt on religious grounds and those for whom it is “not reasonably practicable” (on the grounds of remoteness of location, meaning the internet is not accessible, disability or age) with each case being considered on its own merits. In terms of penalties, Jim Harra, HMRC’s new Chief Executive, recently confirmed that HMRC’s ambition is to help businesses moving to MTD to get it right, not to penalise them. HMRC’s decision not to enforce penalties is intended to help businesses transition to MTD without fear of getting it wrong. However, sanctions remain possible in cases of deliberate non-compliance. Software and digital links Where a trader wishes to use a spreadsheet to prepare their VAT return figures, it must be API-enabled. If it is not, a bridging product is required using an ‘external’ digital link to transfer the VAT return information to HMRC. In addition, ‘internal’ digital links are needed between the software products used to gather the VAT return figures within, for example, VAT groups or the different parts of a trader’s business registered under the same VAT number. Due to the timescales involved in putting these ‘internal’ digital links in place, a 12-month soft landing period, until 31 March 2020, was allowed by HMRC for these links only. For VAT periods starting on or after 1 April 2020, full digital links are required unless the trader is, for example, a business with complex or legacy IT systems and so needs longer to put ‘internal’ links in place. In which case, an application can be made for extended deferral until 1 October 2020. It is now expected HMRC will further extend this deadline to 1 April 2021 as a result of COVID-19. The future of MTD, including the rollout to other taxes MTD for income tax is now being developed and, according to HMRC, approximately 1 million sole-traders, landlords and partnerships are currently eligible for the voluntary 2020/21 pilot service. However, a survey recently carried out by CIOT and ATT found that MTD for income tax was the least popular choice to be mandated next with most respondents selecting corporation tax for those already mandated for MTD, followed by the extension of MTD for VAT to those businesses that are voluntarily VAT registered. Respondents were also found to want long lead-in times (with April 2025, supported by a two-year pilot period, being most popular). ICAEW made a 2020 Budget request for Government to review the rollout and costs to business of MTD for VAT before it decides whether to extend it to other taxes. The Government responded with the publishing of an evaluation of the MTD for VAT service and update on the Income Tax Service on 19 March 2020. In it, HMRC state they are carefully monitoring the transitional costs for businesses and are committed to working with stakeholders to ensure the lessons learned from the roll-out of MTD for VAT inform the next phases of MTD. This remains to be seen.

Vivo IPL 2021: Aakash Chopra backs Shreyas Iyer as the skipper of Delhi Capitals if IPL 2021 gets rescheduled. Vivo IPL 2021: Cricketer turned commentator Aakash Chopra in his youtube video backed Shreyas Iyer for leading Delhi Capitals (DC) in the Vivo IPL 2021 if the BCCI plans to reschedule it. However, the renowned commentator stated that this case is only possible if Iyer gets fit by then. The reins of the Delhi Capitals (DC) were handed over to southpaw Rishabh Pant after Iyer was ruled out of the entire IPL 2021 due to a shoulder injury that he picked up during the India-England series. Pant has enjoyed the role hitherto with six wins in the eight games. Chopra indicated that as the tournament was earlier suspended midway and there are speculations that it can be rescheduled somewhere else, so it is under the rules if Iyer comes in and leads his side once again. Also, Delhi Capitals (DC) hasn’t announced any replacement for the cricketer. The 43-years old said that Shreyas Iyer should be reinstated as the skipper for the remainder of the series as soon as he gets fit to play. He should come at number 3 for his side. The Mumbai based batsman took his side Delhi Capitals (DC) to their first ever IPL final last year in UAE. “Hundred percent man. There is no doubt it. Fit and available, Shreyas Iyer walks in as a captain, bats at No.3. Rules are definitely not like that once you are ruled out, you cannot come back. When fit and available, come back and play,” Aakash Chopra said in his YouTube video. Delhi Capitals (DC) will have the option to bench an overseas batsman if Iyer comes in at number 3. “Then you can play Nortje alongside Rabada, Shimron Hetmyer, Marcus Stoinis. Suddenly the Delhi team, which is already very strong and is at No.1 at the moment, will become even more strong,” the former opener elucidated. Shreyas Iyer was earlier seen sweating out in his home with a mild workout and strengthening programme. He underwent surgery last month and is recovering really fast. Iyer shared a video on his social media handles of him doing his strengthening training that won fans heart.

Is it attainable to seek out an affordable moving firm? There is usually a misconception that professional movers are costly and you may not be able to find them within your budget.

With winter come and gone, it is time to enjoy the fantastic weather of Spring. However, though spring comes with many fresh and beautiful things, there can be some downfalls. First, the green blanket is the bane of most Greenville residents. That green blanket covering your car is pollen. Though we have beautiful spring weather here in South Carolina, we suffer from allergies. Keep the Claridon close. Spring can bring allergies and storms. Look out for storm damage on your roof. The second downfall is the rain. Spring happens to be the rainiest season of the year. Here in Greenville, SC, we already have crazy weather due to being so close to the mountains. However, storms are more than just annoying; they can be damaging to your roof too. Unfortunately, most people aren’t prepared for the hail, wind, and rain that is accompanied by these storms. In this article, we tell you what to expect this stormy season. April Showers Bring Leaking Roofs in May If you have lived anywhere in the Upstate, Greenville, Spartanburg, Travelers Rest, etc., you know that rain is not the only storm issue we face. Hail can leave your residential roof riddled with damage. Also, wind can strip whole shingles straight off your roof. In short, storm damage can be a real pain for all. If you do end up with roof damage, look for a roofing contractor that has an insurance specialist on staff that can get assist you with a claim. Having a low deductible or no out of pocket expenses is worth the extra research. For more information on why a roofer should have a claim specialist, click here. What Greenville’s Spring Weather Means for Roofers It may seem obvious that roofing companies are going to be busier during the stormy season. However, this is not necessarily a good thing for a home or business owners or roofers. Often times, a good roofing contractor will have more work than he or she has time for. This is why it is important for the homeowner to contact a roofer right away if they suspect storm damage. You want to be first in line when everyone starts calling their local roofing companies. Also, the stormy season can be hard for roofers just from a hiring position. The struggle to constantly find good workers is hard for any company, especially roofing contractors. Frankly, there aren’t a lot of people wanting to get into skilled labor. However, it can be a very profitable line of work that everyone needs. Allergies and Insulation We can’t end this article without talking about our dreaded nemesis: Pollen. Unfortunately, even if you aren’t outside pollen and allergies can still affect you. However, there are many things that you can do about it. First, check your air filters. You should probably check them every 60-90 days. During the spring months, you can easily accumulate dust, pollen, and other allergens that can create a hard time. Second, check your insulation. Unfortunately, conventional insulation isn’t the best for keeping out allergies. In fact, if you were to collect all of the spaces and holes that you have in your insulation, you would probably end up with a hole the size of a basketball. That amount of air flow can easily let pollen into your house. If you wish to completely seal your roof deck or walls, spray foam insulation would be the way to go. It completely seals entire spaces because it actually expands to fit the size of any space. Also, no pests tend to avoid spray foam. If you want to learn more about spray foam insulation, read more.

iFred updates ‘Schools for Hope’ program with a rebrand to Hopeful Minds, with a new advisory team and additional lessons to address failure and rumination in young students. The program is free and available online, and initial research by iFred in the USA has illustrated that ‘The Hope Curriculum’ may be an effective means of teaching the concept of hope. Dr Karen Kirby from the Psychology Research Institute at Ulster University in Northern Ireland (NI) further tested and validated the program in a study utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods to evaluate the effectiveness of Ireland’s first ever ’Schools for Hope’ program, sharing the exciting results: “The outcomes of the Hope programs indicate that children not only develop increased levels of hope overall, but the findings indicate that they have developed improved coping skills and belief in themselves and their abilities in particular increase in abilities to regulate emotions and develop emotional resilience skills. Furthermore, the pilot findings indicate increased confidence in their abilities to problem solve, in addition to ultimately reducing hopelessness itself. These mental health promotion qualities and coping skill enhancements means that these young people have learned life skills which will hopefully support them when facing life adversities, as they have inherently developed new tools which may prevent hopelessness from developing in the future.” The Schools for Hope program aims to promote mental health, prevent mental illness and initiate early intervention among primary and post primary school children. The original program was developed by a group of experts with the support of Kathryn Goetzke, the founder of iFred, President & CEO of The Mood Factory, and global mental health advocate serving a number of advisory boards including Y Mental Health, FundamentalSDG, and the Global Mental Health Movement. “We are excited about our initial results in Northern Ireland, as it further validates our hypothesis that hope is teachable and provides evidence we need to attract new partners, funding, and resources to expand. We are also thrilled about our new lessons on rumination and failure, as we need they often lead to anxiety and depression if not addressed. Depression and anxiety do not discriminate, and they are impacting our children at greater and greater rates so we must get them before it turns into an actual depressive episode or long-term anxiety. While 36% of girls in the US are identifying with depression prior to age 18, and kids now being as anxious as adults, I also believe we can and must reverse this trend. Hopeful Minds is starting to open the door to show us how to do that very thing, and I think with our strong new advisory team in place and compelling research we are equipped to make a much greater impact.” The curriculum, previously 10 lessons, is now comprised of 12 lessons, an hour each, and available online so teachable at home, in schools, at churches, or in after school programs. The lessons teach the meaning of hope, what supports a hopeful state personally and in the classroom or groups, mindfulness, emotional self-regulation techniques, gratitude, the importance of brain nutrition, the meaning of success as the journey and not the destination, giving hope to others, how to address failure, a technique for ending rumination, and more. It aims is to equip students, educators, leaders, and parents with the tools they need to experience and maintain ‘Hope’ at the critical age of 8-10, right before depression rates are seen to increase in youth. Guy Winch, Ph.D. joined the advisory board and wrote the additional lesson on failure and provided support for the lesson on rumination. In Northern Ireland it was clear that kids tie a hopeful mindset strongly to the outcome of grades, so it seemed the perfect fit for the curriculum. Through the lesson, Guy brings out the critical point that an ‘F’ or bad grade is not an indication that the student is a failure (as many kids feel), but instead an indication that the process to achieving the grade failed. Guy is a licensed psychologist, author, and keynote speaker. His most recent book, Emotional First Aid: Healing Rejection, Guilt, Failure and Other Everyday Hurts (Plume, 2014) has been translated into twenty-three languages and his TED Talk on the same topic has been viewed over 5 million times and is rated as the 5th most inspiring talk of all time on TED.com and we are lucky to have him on the team. iFred worked with the ‘health improvement service’ of the Western Health & Social Care Trust (WHSCT) to adopt and pilot the initial ‘Schools for Hope’ program within primary and post primary schools in NI. The program was implemented in a unique partnership model and as an effective community planning example in action, involving the Outer West Neighbourhood Renewal Partnership (OWNRP), the Health and Education statutory bodies, the School of Psychology at Ulster University (UU) and six Local Primary and Secondary schools in the North West area. This program is now being expanded in NI under the Hopeful Minds banner with the additional lesson, and also being brought to Malaysia in the winter of 2017. Dr. Myron Belfer, a new advisor to the project and MD, MPA and Professor of Psychiatry in the Department of Psychiatry, Children’s Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical School outlined that it is important to note that “Hope is tangible and teachable, and it is an essential ingredient for a successful life trajectory.” Kristy Stark, M.A., BCBA, Ed.M., another new advisor and presenter in Northern Ireland, adds, “Hope is a powerful catalyst. On its own, it can support human development and move people closer to their goals. In a meta-analysis published this year (Marques, Gallagher, & Lopez, 2017), for example, it was revealed that hope predicts academic outcomes, including GPA. At the Harvard Graduate School of Education and in academic institutions across the globe there has been a steadily increasing interest in hope and other noncognitive factors in education. The most exciting development emerging from recent research is that hope can be learned.” Marie Dunne, principal pioneer of the program and WHSCT, mental health specialist shared at the conference, additional skills of understanding and managing their own mental well-being and the tools with which to so’. We are grateful that Marie also helped create the new lesson on rumination, as teaching kids how to stop this negative cycle is key to creating and maintaining a hopeful mindset. If you are interested in bringing Hopeful Minds to your church, school, after-school program or more, simply visit as you can review and print directly from your computer. We created the program in a way that it could be self-led and free, as we believe Hope is a Human Right and should be accessible to all.

Study Design and Outcomes for Research in Northern Ireland: Findings on the research were presented at the Schools for Hope Conference. The study design employed both quantitative and qualitative methods to assess the results of the curriculum; student responses were analyzed using standard measures and also focus-groups were conducted to allow the children to comment their own words. The quantitative study utilized a pre-post intervention design, where data was collected before and after the 10-week Hope program. The Hope curriculum was delivered either weekly or fortnightly in four primary schools and two post primary schools in the Derry, Strabane, and Enniskillen (Enniskillen data not yet analyzed) areas. The general outcomes were very positive with a good sample size of 45. Specifically, the younger children who took part in the ‘Schools for Hope’ program had statistically significant improvements in anxiety levels (measured using the Spence anxiety scale for children), emotional regulation levels (using the ‘how I feel’ scale), and reduced hopelessness (as measured by the Beck Hopelessness scale for kids). Among the post primary school kids, the coping and resilience factors had significantly improved. In specific, the personal ‘emotional’ resilience significantly increased after the program. In particular, empathy, tolerance, emotional insight and confidence increased significantly; and negative cognition reduced significantly. Total scores on standardized coping measures improved, notably rumination and self-care changed significantly. The qualitative focus groups within the primary school children revealed positive findings, where the young people from both the primary and post primary schools shared their recommendations going forward. The predominate themes observed and analyzed among the participants of the primary school focus groups were ‘believing in themselves’, ‘feeling more positive’, and ‘developing new skills’. The qualitative focus groups within the post primary school children, the key themes that were vocalized by the year 8 pupils were “understanding stressors and mental health,” “knowing how to respond to emotions,” “improved coping skills,” and in particular “problem solving,” and “confidence building”. They also reflected on new learning and stated the following: ‘I think that (physical and mental health) are equally important”. When asked about whether they would recommend this program to other children, some of the year 8 pupils stated the following. “It would show them and teach them how to deal with stress” (P1) “To show them how to cope with stuff.” The specific coping skills in which the pupils reported an improvement are as follows: Leadership: “They would take leader roles in activities” (P16)Team working: “Got them working with different people” (P17) “Everybody put their input into it, it wasn’t left to one person in the group” (P16) Coping: “How to go into your upstairs brain” (P15) “Deep breathing” (P15), Ways to take your mind off it” (P15) “Cope with stress” (P11), “How to cope through hard times” (P6), “Breathing back from 10” (P3), Yoga breathing (P3), If someone calls me a name I just ignore them as I know they are just negative and they are trying to get me down (P2) Confidence: “One of the teachers noted that she belied that the group’s ‘confidence has grown through the project” (P17). “Before the Hope Program I never knew what to do if I was getting bullied but now I know I can go to my teachers and I know about the upstairs and downstairs brain and I feel confident now” (P4). “I didn’t feel confident because I was going through a bit of a hard time at that time, and I didn’t feel confident as I didn’t know what to do but when John and everyone came in to show us how to deal with it, it really helped” (P3). “Before the program I wouldn’t be able to speak in front of people, I wouldn’t be able to do that but now it has told me to breath and get on with it” (P4) Believing in yourself: Never give up on something you want to achieve” (P1). “I believe I can do anything that if I put my mind to it and never give up” (P1) “That you should never stop, you should try”. ‘Like say you tried to do something and something might stop you or get in the way just try your best to overcome it or work around it” The implementation of the Schools for Hope Curriculum developed by iFred for youth has resulted in encouraging, measurable child mental health outcomes. Hope is vital and teachable. Speak Your Mind

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) as a tool on these individuals’ education can contribute in the best possible way to the development of their skills, to building the knowledge required and ensuring equal opportunities in their social lives with the effect of their self- esteem and self-sufficiency reinforcement and consequently their integration into society so that they can live in harmony and equality with all its members. This research is a bibliographic review focusing on the usefulness of Information and Communication Technologies in teaching of the Natural Sciences. The choice of topic was based on the attempt to inform for teaching of Natural Sciences through ICTs as an alternative way of learning for people with special educational needs. The results demonstrated that ICTs are valuable cognitive tool for children with special educational needs on natural sciences learning and also these are useful tool for teachers to be able to teach these sciences. The conclusion is that ICTs should be integrated in teaching of the natural sciences.

‘Smart cities’ to be identified before Budget: Venkaiah Naidu September 27, 2014 The Centre will start identifying urban areas which can be transformed into “smart cities”, before the Budget, Union Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu said here on Monday..” Naidu further said there is an increased interest from other countries to participate in this project. “I have held consultations with a lot of foreign delegations who are interested in participating in this project. Japan is keen to cooperate to transform Varanasi into a smart city. Similarly, a former Singaporean Prime Minister has also met me and expressed interest in constructing a new capital for Andhra, which I want to make into a smart city,” he said. He said he will visit cities like Oklahoma and Seoul to understand their models. However, he noted that creating a smart city is not an easy task. “It is not easy to construct a smart city overnight without light and basic amenities. We need to prepare habitat with a smart leadership. Further, there is a need to provide facilities for transport, water, disposal of waste, traffic security management, education, entertainment and employment opportunities, among others. All these things will take time,” he said. “In this entire process, having 24×7 power supply will be critical. A city cannot be smart if there is no power. Therefore, there is a need to create proper transmission and distribution system to ensure uninterrupted supply of electricity,” Naidu added. Source:Indian Express. Govt to set up national body to oversee road safety issues December 2, 2013 Dipak Kumar Dash,TNN | The Road Safety and Traffic Management Board will have overarching powers to seek explanation and issue directions to both government and private agencies on all issues relating to road safety, said a senior government official. He added that the board will have powers to summon vehicle manufacturers, if it finds any fault in vehicles involved in accidents. Sources said the board will have powers to recommend minimum design, construction, operation and maintenance standards for national highways besides conducting safety audits to monitor compliance. It can also conduct research in different spheres of road safety and traffic management besides recommending mechanism for data collection. Different agencies including World Health Organization (WHO) have pushed the need for a central body that can coordinate and oversee road safety-related issues in India. At present, there is little coordination among different wings of governments at the Centre and states working on road safety. The transport ministry has decided to take the executive order route to create the board as the amendment in Motor Vehicles Act to increase penalty for traffic violations is pending before the Lok Sabha for 18 months after it was passed by the Rajya Sabha. Sources said the ministry and WHO are roping in some Lok Sabha MPs across parties to hold a dialogue during the next Parliament session. The plan is to push passage of the bill since road safety experts feel increasing penalty for violation of traffic rules would prove a deterrent to vehicle users. Source- China opens new highway near Arunachal Pradesh border November 1, 2013 first- India and China can bond along the Stilwell Road October 18, 2013 Subir Bhaumik During Chinese Premier Li Keqiang’s India visit in May, India agreed to “explore the possibilities of the proposed Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar (BCIM) economic corridor” with China. But New Delhi is going slow on this. When Prime Minister Manmohan Singh visits China this month, the Chinese will push for the BCIM plan. China has already been in discussion with Myanmar and Bangladesh to take this forward. During Singh’s Beijing visit, China will also offer to declare Kunming and Kolkata as sister cities to carry forward the process. It is New Delhi and not states in the east or north-east that fear Chinese trade and investments along the corridor. This trade can only boost their economies. The opening of the Stilwell Road, built during World War II, is a case in point. Assam’s industry minister Pradyut Bordoloi and Arunachal Pradesh’s former governor J J Singh have been enthusiastic about opening the road to China-India trade. Unlike the Nathu La pass in Sikkim, the Stilwell Road is capable of handling 20-25 per cent of Sino-Indian bilateral trade. But a powerful defence-commerce ministry lobby has blocked it all these years. China has modernised its part of the road and its companies are doing that in Myanmar now. Only 66 km of the road falls in India — so, if the Chinese army uses it to amass troops on the Indian border for a surprise offensive or dump their products in a trade war, they can do it even if India does not formally open the road. Also, trade with India via Arunachal Pradesh will immediately stop all claims of that region as “southern Tibet”. Note how quickly China shed its reservations on Sikkim, after trade resumed through the Nathu La pass. JJ Singh, a former army chief, advocated an Indian presence on the road for pragmatic reasons, but that did not help with the mandarins in Delhi. So, an alternate route was chosen for the BCIM car rally in February-March: it started at Kolkata, passed through Bangladesh and India’s north-eastern states of Assam and Manipur, and ended in Kunming, Yunnan via west and north Myanmar. Now, China wants the car rally route to be converted into the BCIM Friendship highway and turned into an economic corridor with industries, trading entrepots and tourism infrastructure developed around it. This is an excellent idea. Large parts of China, contiguous with south Asia, are landlocked. The Strait of Malacca is a choke point that China wants to bypass through overland trade through Myanmar, Bangladesh and the north-east. Beijing wants to transform BCIM into a live regional grouping to integrate the two most populous nations of the world and use the Bangladesh-Myanmar corridor to help Chindia draw south-east Asia into the world’s strongest future economic bloc. Beijing hopes that India sheds its fear of encirclement by China and creates a win-win situation for both countries in Asia, from south-east to west. India, especially its eastern and north-eastern states, would stand to gain much more economically by higher trade and connectivity with China and the rest of Asia. On the other hand, there is no material gain if India acts as a pivot for American interests in south Asia. A formal push for the BCIM during Manmohan Singh’s China visit may boost investments and help chief ministers or industry ministers in the east and north-east to showcase their states to Chinese investors. If the home ministry can waive its objections and agree to allow Chinese telecom majors like Huawei to invest in the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor or the Indian embassy in Beijing can rope in huge Chinese investments for Andhra Pradesh, the east and north-east should not be deprived because the region has a long border with China.

Roads regulator close to reality, cabinet nod likely by December September 25, 2013 Ragini Verma | Asit Ranjan Mishra The roads ministry has set up a task force for looking into the framework of the authority New Delhi: Nearly seven months after finance minister P. Chidambaram proposed setting up a roads regulator to address challenges such as financial stress, construction risk and contract management issues, the roads ministry is close to finalizing the structure and role of the proposed regulator. “We will get the cabinet approval for the roads regulator by December,” Vijay Chhibber, roads secretary, told reporters at a conference organized by industry lobby Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry. The ministry of road transport and highways has proposed that the roads regulator have an adjudicatory role for contract dispute resolution, renegotiation of future contracts and enforcement of contractual obligations. For issues related to renegotiation of existing contracts, tariff structuring and toll mechanisms, project entry and exit options and specific policy issues, the regulator is proposed to play an advisory role. “Road ministry is working on these terms of reference and the constitution mechanism and organizational structure of the roads regulator is under finalization,” Chhibber said. The roads ministry has set up a task force for looking into the framework of the authority. The ministry has proposed that the regulator be headed by a board with a chairperson and two members, to whom an executive wing with technical and secretariat support will report. “Toll-paying users under the current architecture do not get a fair voice. We should have a third party whom users can approach if they are not being provided with the services promised in the contract,” said Chhibber. “Then we are struggling with (contract) renegotiations. A roads regulator will help address these issues.” Economic affairs secretary Arvind Mayaram, speaking at the same conference, said independent regulators such as in the roads sector are necessary to avoid situations where private parties and government bodies are blaming each other for issues arising out of project implementation. “Regulators must begin to do this. If there is a concession issue, if there is a problem about the economics of the project which can happen, then we very clearly look at the stress test. It should very clearly look at where culpability lies and some haircut needs to be put in place so that the moral hazard issue is properly answered,” he said. The roads ministry saw a sharp decline in award of contracts for highways last year. Against a lowered target of 8,100km, only 1,116km of highway projects were awarded. The ministry will ramp up award of road projects under the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) mode in the absence of interest from private players for build, operate, transfer projects, Chhibber said. The ministry is looking to award 6,500km of road projects through the EPC mode in 2013-14, he added. “The primary role of the proposed road regulator should be appropriate risk and reward allocation between government, developers, lender and especially the users,” said Parvesh Minocha, managing director of the transportation business at infrastructure consultancy Feedback Infra Pvt. Ltd. “If this is done and a proper structure is put in place to implement it then the downstream remedial roles like dispute resolution and failure handling will get significantly reduced.” Private highway developers petition govt for relief September 25, 2013 Dipak Kumar Dash, TNN | After receiving a proposal from National Highway Builders Federation (NHBF) and IRB that the proposed premium rescheduling scheme should be extended to all premium projects.NHAI has asked the ministry to put a supplementary note for Cabinet’s consideration. NHBF has said, “Selective approach in allowing rescheduling of premium will invite litigation and any policy amendments needs to be extended to all premium projects awarded, irrespective of these projects have been issued appointed date and started construction or not and allow the concessionaire who are opting for this scheme.” It added any litigation on this issue may derail the scheme and will in turn affect the revival of this sector. NHBF has said due to economic slowdown last year and rate of GDP growth plummeting to a decade low 5% have impacted toll revenues as low as 50% than estimated in majority of projects. According to NHAI sources, the premium committed in case of already started 16 projects comes close to Rs 55,000 crore in the next 20-30 years and developers of the yet to be started 23 projects have committed to pay Rs 1 lakh crore to the authority. Ministry officials said it’s impossible to add fresh ones to the list of identified “stressed” projects since a consensus has already been achieved among law, finance and road ministries to allow premium rescheduling of 23 projects including GMR’s Kishangarh-Udaipur-Ahmedabad highway. “By bringing in more projects under this list we will open a new window for debate and objections. How can we say that projects where work has started are under stress?” asked a ministry official. Moreover, the signal that economic affairs secretary Arvind Mayaram sent on Monday on premium rescheduling at a FICCI summit indicates the amount of heat this new proposal may generate. He had said that to avoid “moral hazard” because of this move, there is need to identify “stressed” projects objectively and to have a methodology. He had added that there is need to find out whey the particular projects are stressed. “If it’s because of authority’s default then they must take the haircut. We can’t brush it under the carpet. If the developer is at fault then it must take the haircut,” Mayaram had said. The expenditure secretary had also said that there is need of a regulator to deal with such issues objectively. Government plans to set up panel to track execution of expressway projects September 18, 2013 By YASHODHARA DASGUPTA, ET Bureau | ![A projects review earlier this month revealed that the NHAI is yet to resolve technical and other parameters in the Supreme Court-mandated expressways.<br /><br /> A projects review earlier this month revealed that the NHAI is yet to resolve technical and other parameters in the Supreme Court-mandated expressways.<br /><br /> ]() The government has now decided to form a committee comprising senior officials from the highways ministry, department of expenditure and the Planning Commission to track the Authority’s progress, said people with knowledge of the development. The committee will meet periodically, beginning this Saturday, and their observations will be reviewed by the PMO. “The committee will hold periodic meetings to review the progress being made in implementing the expressway projects by the vertical set up under the NHAI last month for this purpose,” an official said. According to the project review, the earthwork required to build a pass, or right-of-way, for the 135-km Eastern Peripheral Expressway (EPE), may not even be available in the vicinity. It will now be necessary to re-examine the design and its cost implications. The EPE, mandated by the top court eight years ago, is meant to handle heavy trucks and non-Delhi bound vehicles. The NHAI has already missed the August deadline for request for quotation for this job. An official said that while the deadlines set by the PMO may be difficult to meet, its directive has brought to the fore the tardy progress made even the most basic legwork for these expressways. Similarly problems plague the 125-km Delhi-Meerut expressway, where changes in the scope of the project would be required, which in turn would necessitate a modified proposal to be sent to the Public Private Partnership Appraisal Committee. A decision is yet to be taken on how the utilities would be shifted—a must before any road can be built. The NHAI has been given a week to resolve this issue.

Final Statement of the 3rd Asia Inter-religious Conference on Article 9 From Seoul to Okinawa October 7, 2011 Okinawa Christian University Article 9 of Japan’s Peace Constitution. 1) The 3rd Asia Inter-religious Conference on Article 9 of the Japanese Peace Constitution the Okinawa Christian University from October 5 through 7th, 2011. With our thoughts turned toward the victims of disasters arising from the Great East Japan Earthquake, Tsunami, and Fukushima Number 1 Nuclear Power Plant incident, we prayerfully reaffirm the sanctity of life, and hereby issue this Statement. 2) Article 9 of the Constitution has never been realized in Japan and least of all in Okinawa, which holds roughly 74% of American military facilities as well as other Japan Self Defense Forces bases in just 0.6% of Japanese land. Furthermore, former Prime Minister Hatoyama’s declaration that he would have the military bases in Okinawa moved out of the prefecture or to another country has not been realized. Okinawa’s bases have not only been retained, but new bases are being constructed. On Jeju Island—designated an “Island of Peace” by the government of Korea—a new naval base is being built by the government and armed forces. We, the Asia Inter-Religious Conference on Article 9 of the the foregoing reasons, be it resolved that – • The US and Japanese governments must honor Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution and we strongly oppose any attempt by the Japanese Government to revise the same. • We demand the Japanese government that the “sympathy budget” allocations toward the U.S. be abolished and reassigned to relief efforts in disaster-stricken areas. • We call upon communities of faith in the United States to consider their complicity as US citizens in US policies toward Okinawa, examine their consciences, and join in advocacy for the closure of Futenma and other bases in Okinawa as well as the abandonment of plans to build a new base in Henoko. • We demand that the proposed plan of the construction of the bases of Self Defense Forces in Miyako and Yaeyama be abandoned. • We demand the total abolition of nuclear weapons and challenge the continuous use of nuclear energy in all its applications. • Recognizing the horrific human toll of U.S. wars, expansionism, and hegemony, we call upon all persons of faith to join the global peace movement and oppose the imperial militarization of Asia, the Middle East and beyond. 4) In the statement issued in Seoul, Korea, on the occasion of the 2nd Asia Inter-religious Conference on Article 9 of the Japanese Peace Constitution, we affirmed that, Article 9 is more than ever relevant for regional and international relations, and is forward-looking. It can be seen as the core value of a just, peaceful, and sustainable Asian community. 5) Despite Japan regaining independence in 1952, Okinawa has remained under U.S. military rule for another 20 years. All the U.S. military bases there remain intact. During this period, a large movement arose in Okinawa demanding the return of Okinawa to Japan, whose Constitution contained the war-renouncing Article 9. This wish was finally realized in 1972, in the so-called “Return of Okinawa.” However, this was essentially only a transfer of administrative rights, which resulted in the betrayal of Okinawa’s hopes and desires. As Okinawa was being returned to a Japan that had the Three Non-Nuclear Principles, these principles should have applied to Okinawa as well, Forces. In recent years this military presence is even threatening to expand to the regions of Miyako and Yaeyama. 6) The post-war government of Japan has continually accepted the presence of U.S. and JSDF military bases, thus contravening Article 9. Removal of “the world’s most dangerous base” at Futenma and its return to Okinawans still has no schedule. Despite the opposition of 80% of Okinawa’s citizens, the government of Japan is attempting to build a new military base to replace Futenma, which will destroy and pave over the sea at Henoko. The government is also destroying its own rain forest by building a helipad in Takae. Both places support biodiversity that is 50 to 60 times as rich as the coastal waters and forests in the mainland. Furthermore, U.S. forces are planning to deploy new Osprey planes to the. 7) With the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty and the U.S.-Japan Status of Forces Agreement, the military continues to cause daily suffering for the people of Okinawa. From these bases in Okinawa U.S. forces were sent into the Korean War, the Viet Nam War, the Gulf War, the Afghanistan War and the Iraq War. And ever since the Gulf War the Japan Self Defense Forces have joined and collaborated as one with U.S. forces in what can only be described as acts of war. 8) The governments of both Japan and the U.S. say that the bases on Okinawa are a deterrent force. But the the military forces on Okinawa are a threat to neighboring nations. We cannot watch silently while bombers and warships are sent out from this precious land, passed down from our peace-loving ancestors, to terrorize, destroy and kill the inhabitants in every region on this earth. 9) Arms cannot bring peace but respecting the rights of people can. In spite of the lies and fraudulent assertions of both the the peoples of all nations, and for this reason we resolve to continue walking forward towards a world without military bases. 10) Okinawa once had its own philosophical tradition of “non-military culture.” Through friendly relations and trade, not by arms, Ryukyu (Okinawa) established relations with various Asian countries. But in 1609 it came under the de facto rule of Japan’s Satsuma Clan, as a result of an invasion by Satsuma. This year marks the 402nd year from that date. In 1879 the Ryukyu Kingdom was again invaded, this time by the the continuity of the Japanese state system. The people of Okinawa were forced by the Imperial Japanese Army, deployed to defend Okinawa, to “Live Together and Die Together” with the military. During the Battle of Okinawa, in which land battles engulfed the the Supreme Court found, in a 2011 judgment, that there were indeed Army orders to force “mass deaths” on the Islands of Zamami, Geruma, and Tokashiki 11) Holding the Asia Inter-religious Conference on Article 9 of the Japanese Peace Constitution here in Okinawa awakened us, people of many faiths, to the realities of the struggles of the Okinawan people. We truly pursue the realization of Article 9 in our own places, and walk together toward this realization. We commit ourselves to actively work to oppose the spread of American military bases across Asia and around the world and demand the closure of all military bases. We trust that the route to these aspirations can be found in each person’s faith. We pray for the realization of peace and take action to build peace through non-violence. The answer to violence is to embody and animate the spirit of Article 9. Participants of the 3rd Asia Inter-religious Conference on Article 9 credit photo by

The Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, on Friday said that Herbal Medicine would be introduced as a course of study in Nigerian universities. Chukwu said this during an interactive session with newsmen on the occasion of the 2014 World Malaria Day in Umuahia. He admitted that herbs were efficacious in the treatment of malaria, but noted that it needed to be studied as a course in the university. The minister contended that for herbal medicine to be accepted and integrated in the treatment of malaria, the practitioners ought to study science courses. He listed the subjects as Physiology, Anatomy, Pharmacology, Chemistry, among other subjects. “It is only after studying these courses that herbal medicine practitioner can effectively diagnose and treat malaria and other health problems,’’ he said. Chukwu said the inability of herbal medicine practitioners to scientifically diagnose diseases posed a great challenge toward the acceptability of herbs for disease treatment. He said the Nigerian Institute of Pharmaceutical Research and Development was already carrying out a research on the efficacy of herbs in the treatment of ailments. The minister further said that the National Foods and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) would also have to carry out a test on herbs to further ascertain their medicinal efficacies. He charged herbal medicine practitioners to submit their herbs to NAFDAC for scientific test. The minister stressed the need for environmental sanitation in the country, describing environmental cleanliness as a critical strategy in the fight against malaria. “If your environment is dirty or you allow containers with water open in your compound as well as bushes where mosquitoes breed, you are poor. “Such poverty is not because of the lack of money but it is poverty of the mind,’’ he said. Chukwu said that past and present administrations in Nigeria had spent N198 billion in the fight against malaria in the last 10 years. He said that preventable, malaria “still remains a major public health problem in Africa and Nigeria’’ and constituted a major barrier to social and economic development. The minister assured Nigerians that President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration was deeply concerned about the situation and would do everything possible to confront the scourge headlong. Chukwu, who said the National Policy on malaria was being revised, added that the National Malaria Strategic Plan (NMSP: 2014-2020), which would guide the implementation for the period, had been finalised. “These documents have been repositioned to be more responsive to the vision of a malaria-free Nigeria in the shortest possible time in line with the National Strategic Health Development Plan.’’ He pointed out that the scourge was now responsible for two out of 10 deaths in children less than five years as against 30 per cent in previous years. Chukwu said that government had distributed 60 million Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) throughout the federation between 2009 and 2013, adding that the replacement campaign had begun in line with the WHO guidelines. “This is because after three to four years, the efficacy and physical integrity of the LLINs become compromised,’’ he said. He expressed regrets that recent study showed that only about 29 per cent of children under five years actually sleep inside LLINs out of an average of 50 per cent of households in Nigeria that owned at least one LLIN. Chukwu called for attitudinal change among Nigerians so that the country could reap the optimal benefit of the use of LLINs for malaria control. The minister further explained that the Federal Government had commenced the Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) in some states of the federation. According to him, the states are Lagos, Rivers, Bauchi, Jigawa, Anambra and Akwa Ibom. He explained that due to the required capital outlay, only less than 2 per cent of households in the federation were covered under IRS. The minister also noted that Nigeria had made some progress “in the operation alienation of the Integrated, Test, Treat and Larval Source Reduction for Malaria Elimination Project’’. Chukwu said in spite of the achievements so far recorded, a lot still needed to be done to achieve government’s target of achieving a malaria-free Nigeria. He called for concerted efforts to scale up implementation, especially at the community levels. The minister also called for increased domestic funding for malaria intervention by the three tiers of government, communities, philanthropists and private entrepreneurs. “It is only then that the desired impact can be guaranteed,’’ he said. Gov. Theodore Orji said that his administration placed high premium on health and security of the people, saying that the state government was committed to the eradication of malaria. Orji described malaria as the worst enemy of the people, given the high rate of deaths, especially in children and expectant mothers. He called for greater commitment by all Nigerians in the war against the scourge, adding that the disease would be eradicated with more sensitisation and scientific inventions as well as increased funding. Earlier, the Commissioner for Health, Dr Okechukwu Ogah, said that malaria had affected man for over 50,000 years and had led to the death of millions of people worldwide. Ogah explained that a WHO report in 2012, showed that there were about 207 million cases of malaria and an estimated 627,000 deaths worldwide. He said malaria was one of the four commonest causes of deaths in children in Africa, adding that a child dies every minute from malaria. “Data indicate that about 300,000 children die from malaria in our country, it is also responsible for about 11 per cent of maternal mortality,’’ Ogah said. The commissioner also said that Nigeria was losing N132 billion annually to malaria as cost of treatment, prevention, loss of man hours, among other factors. Ogah said that malaria was endemic in Abia and accounted for 60 per cent of causes of outpatient hospital attendance and 11 per cent of childhood and maternal deaths in the state. He said that the state had set up a malaria and vector control programme in line with the strategic plan of the National Malaria Elimination Programme.

- Configuration There are two different PAM configuration compile-time options. The first causes PAM either to use a single /etc/pam.conf file as its configuration file or to look for a collection of configuration files in /etc/pam.d, but not both. The second option uses both mechanisms and entries in /etc/pam.d directory override those in /etc/pam.conf. The first option is recommended and reflects the implementation used by the Red Hat 5.2/6.0 distributions. There is little difference between using a single /etc/pam.conf and a collection of files in /etc/pam.d. Essentially, if you are using /etc/pam.conf, each entry in /etc/pam.conf contains a leading service-type field that specifies the PAM-aware application to which this entry pertains. If you use /etc/ pam.d, you will find a file in that directory whose name matches a PAM-aware application. Consequently, the service-type field is dropped from each of these files. We will discuss the configuration options under the assumption of the use of /etc/pam.d. For those of you who use /etc/pam.conf, just add the service type to the entries described here. Let's begin by taking a look at the contents of /etc/pam.d, shown in Example 5-1. This effectively lists the PAM-aware applications that ship with the Red Hat 5.2 distribution (6.0 is similar). Each of the files listed has a PAM-aware application associated with it. In all of these configuration files, lines beginning with # are comment lines and are ignored by PAM. Example 5-1 Contents of /etc/pam.d #ls /etc/pam.d chfn linuxconf-pair ppp su chsh login rexec vlock ftp mcserv rlogin xdm imap other rsh xlock linuxconf passwd samba Each of the PAM configuration files contains the entry types shown in Example 5-2. The module-type field specifies the type of PAM module. Currently there are four module types, auth, account, session, and password. They are described in Table 5.1. Example 5-2 PAM Configuration File Entry Fields module-type control-flag module-path arguments The control-flag field specifies the action to be taken depending on the result of the PAM module. More than one PAM module may be specified for a given application (this is called stacking). The control-flag also determines the relative importance of modules in a stack. As we will see, stack order and control-flags are very significant. The four possible values for this field are required, requisite, optional, and sufficient. They are summarized in Table 5.2. The module-path field indicates the absolute pathname location of the PAM module. Red Hat 5.2/6.0 places all PAM modules in /lib/security. (Table 5.15 on page 110 provides an overview of many of the available PAM modules, both from the Red Hat distribution and the public domain.) Table 5.1 PAM Module Types Table 5.2 PAM Control Flags The arguments field is used for specifying flags or options that are passed to the module. Specifying arguments is optional. There are certain general arguments available for most modules which are listed in Table 5.3. Other arguments are available on a per-module basis and will be discussed appropriately with each module. In summary, each file in /etc/pam.d is associated with the service or application after which the file is named and contains a list of records, each of which contains a module type, control flag, module name and location, and optional arguments. If the modules are of the same type, they are considered to be stacked and will be executed in the order in which they appear, unless control flags terminate execution earlier. The entire stack, not just one module, controls behavior for the given service and module type. Arguments are optionally used to further control the behavior of the module. Table 5.3 PAM Standard Arguments Now let's see how this mechanism is actually implemented.

Leaving the scene of a car accident is illegal, and the penalties for leaving the scene of an accident are severe. This is especially true if someone is injured in the accident. But if you do not know the identity of the driver that hit you, how will you get compensation for your injuries? Hit-and-runs can be some of the most serious and stressful types of car accidents. If you have been the victim of a hit-and-run accident in Seattle or elsewhere in Washington state, you may wish to seek legal advice from an experienced car accident attorney in order to make sure you get access to fair and full financial compensation. Why Hire a Lawyer after a Hit-and-Run Accident?

What To Do After a Hit-and-Run Accident There are a number of important steps that should be taken immediately after a hit-and-run accident. Take the following steps to protect your legal rights and improve your chances of a successful outcome: - Call 911 immediately after the collision. This will ensure the accident is documented and that - Document as much information about the incident as possible. This may be difficult in serious accidents or if the injured person has to be transported to a hospital from the scene, but the more information that can be documented the better. - Gather contact information for anyone who may have witnessed the accident. - Seek medical attention immediately to diagnose and document your injuries and necessary medical treatment. - Contact an experienced lawyer for a free consultation. Washington State Hit-and-Run Law Washington state law (RCW 26.52.020) requires a driver to stop their vehicle if they they’re involved in an accident which results in an injury or death. Even if the driver is not at fault, if they're involved in a collision, they must stop at the scene. A driver must remain at the scene until they have gathered the following information from the other party: name, address, insurance policy, insurance company, and the vehicle license plate number. The drivers of the vehicles involved should exchange their licenses and write down each other’s information. If any parties involved are injured you should assist them until help arrives. Failing to not stop after you were involved in a car accident could result in a Class B or Class C felony. A Class B felony could lead up a sentence of 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. A Class C felony could result in a penalty of 5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. If you were injured in a hit-and-run collision, contact an attorney to learn more about your legal options. Reasons for a Hit-and-Run Collision Drivers may choose to leave the scene of an accident for many reasons, including: - Driving under the influence of alcohol - Drug use - Immigration status - Past legal trouble - No valid driver’s license - No motor vehicle insurance Hit-and-run drivers may collide with other vehicles, strike pedestrians crossing the road, or hit a motorcycle or bicycle. The insurance issues and liability may differ in each type of accident. Contact an Experienced Lawyer ASAP Compensation for hit-and-run victims depends on several things, and without the assistance of an experienced lawyer, victims run the risk of accepting a settlement far below what their case is worth. Research has shown that victims who hire an attorney receive an average of 3.5x more in settlement money than those without an attorney.

by Penny M. Hagerman Driving and maintaining even a cheap car can be rather expensive. Add up the cost of fuel, repairs and maintenance, and it might just be cheaper to take public transportation instead. But for those who enjoy the freedom and independence driving offers, there’s one expense associated with operating a car that’s relatively cheap—if you know where to go and how to find it: cheap online car insurance. Available to almost everyone, this type of coverage protects the driver, passengers and car—and offers a much-needed financial safety net no driver can afford to live without. Getting Educated on Car Insurance When buying car insurance online, the goal is to assemble a package deal containing the coverage most applicable to car and driver. But since many people aren’t sure what they need for optimal protection—and what extras they could feasibly live without—they don’t have a clue how to find it online. Before trying to determine the coverage needed, there are a few important facts all drivers should know: - Each state sets its own minimum liability limits that must be carried. When buying cheap online car insurance, it’s important to know those minimums and make sure they’re met in the state of residence by shopping online. - Most experts recommend buying cheap online coverage based on personal situation and budget, rather than minimums required. For drivers involved in major accidents, those low-level online coverages aren’t likely to pay for all the damages or injuries—and that could lead to huge accident-related bills no one is prepared to pay. - When another driver causes an accident, it’s the role of each driver’s insurance company to pursue the at-fault party and their insurance provider for benefits online. So getting a cheap policy is important, but finding a top provider who’s there when you need them is even more important. In the end, finding the right policy takes a bit of knowledge and research…but that’s time well spent when it comes to keeping everyone protected. Choosing the Right Kind of Coverage Standard coverages included in most policies include: - Bodily Injury Liability—Protects you financially when someone else gets injured or killed - Property Damage Liability—Covers the damage you cause to someone else’s property - Collision—Pays for damage to your car as a result of colliding with another car or object - Comprehensive—Pays for damage to your car caused by something other than collision - Medical Payments—Covers your personal medical bills resulting from an accident, whether cheap or expensive - Underinsured/Uninsured Motorist—Pays the cost of damages and injuries that result when hit by a driver without cheap insurance, or without enough insurance to cover the bills When considering coverages individually, make sure the cheap protection offered matches need. While it’s important to get the right level of coverage, it also doesn’t make sense to pay for some protections—especially when eliminating them could bring significant savings.

Workers’ compensation helps cover costs related to work injuries. Coverage includes everything from ambulance rides to medication and physical therapy. When an accident happens at a workplace, workers’ compensation insurance covers the cost of immediate care, such as an ambulance ride or an emergency room visit. It also helps pay for surgical procedures, medications, hospital stays, and other medical bills. Ongoing care, such as continuing medication and physical rehabilitation, is also covered. Example: A painter falls off a ladder while working on a ceiling and breaks a leg. Workers’ compensation insurance pays for the ambulance ride to the hospital, surgery, medications, and physical rehabilitation. A serious injury can prevent an employee from returning to work for days, weeks, or even months. Workers’ compensation often pays for part of the wages lost while an employee is recovering from a workplace injury or occupational illness. Example: An HVAC installer accidentally lowers an air conditioner onto his foot and breaks several bones. The installer has to stay off his feet for a month, which prevents him from working. The installation company’s workers’ comp policy pays part of the wages that would have been earned during the month of missed work. When a work-related incident is fatal, workers’ compensation pays death benefits that cover funeral expenses and help support the deceased individual’s family. Example: An electrician accidentally touches a live wire, goes into cardiac arrest, and dies. The electrical company’s workers’ comp policy covers the cost of the funeral and burial. It also provides financial support to the electrician’s spouse and children. Workers’ compensation insurance typically includes employer’s liability insurance. This policy protects the employer from a lawsuit claiming a worker was injured by the employer’s negligence. If an employee sues, it can help pay for: Example: A chef in a restaurant suffers third-degree burns while trying to put out a grease fire. The chef blames the restaurant for failing to provide a fire extinguisher and adequate safety training. The case goes to court; the restaurant’s workers’ comp policy pays for the cost of hiring a lawyer and the eventual settlement. Healthcare providers and first responders could potentially make a workers' comp claim if they develop COVID-19 in the course of their work. Workers in other professions might not be covered. State laws for workers' compensation vary dramatically, which means your state might help cover the costs when employees contract the coronavirus or are unable to work because of the pandemic. Check with your insurance company's claims department if you think you might be eligible. In the following states, employers are required to purchase workers’ compensation from a monopolistic state fund: Workers’ comp purchased from a mandatory state-run fund does not include employer’s liability insurance. An employer can purchase stop gap coverage from a private insurer to fill this gap in coverage. Compare quotes for free online from leading carriers with Insureon.

How to Create an Outstanding Website Design A website design is what can make or break your business. It’s the first impression that your customers get of your brand, and it needs to be executed perfectly. The most important part of a successful website design is the content and its user experience. The goal of your website design should be to increase customer retention by making it easy for visitors to find information that they’re looking for, navigate through the site, and make purchases. There are some general things you should keep in mind when creating your website: First, you want to create an interesting and compelling writing style so that visitors stay on the site longer without getting bored or distracted. You also want to use effective navigation tools so that they can find what they need quickly without getting lost on the page. For a website to be successful, it has to have an outstanding design. What makes the design stand out is the use of colors, fonts, and images that are both aesthetically pleasing and meaningful. Unlike web developers, who build websites from scratch, designers create designs that can be used by other designers or in any project at a later time. Designing is one of those skills that you grow into as you practice it more frequently. It's important to remember that this process takes time and requires patience. Why Creating a Modern Website Design is Important for Any Business With the advancement of technology, businesses have been given a chance to create custom websites that are modern and stylish. Business owners who do not invest in a website design are at a disadvantage because they cannot reach the audiences they want to target and might even lose some of their visitors. The purpose of this introduction is to introduce the reader to why businesses should invest in creating a modern website design. It also discusses how important it is for any business to create a modern website. Website links that contain active calls-to-action help encourage visitors to move forward. It will help build a brand and establish a company identity. A website needs to be updated with new features regularly to stay competitive. With current trends such as the rise of social media, businesses need to have a modern and interactive site design that will keep users engaged and entertained. What Should be Included in a High-Level Website Design A high-level website design includes a sleek and polished interface. It also provides a good user experience by providing the visitor with the tools they need to stay on-site and make progress. It can be difficult to decide what should be included in a high-level website design, but some common elements should always be included. These include: Common elements of high-level website designs include: 1. A clean interface along with an intuitive layout 2. A clear call to action 3. Consistent branding throughout the site 4. Clean navigation A website design is a crucial part of the success of any business. A website should be able to highlight what the company does and how it will benefit you. It should also have an easy-to-navigate layout and a clear purpose with clear messaging. A website design is an important feature for a business. You must know what your web designer or developer will include in your site so that you can make sure that it meets your needs and reflect your company’s brand image. The following are some of the things to consider: - What the site will be used for - Target audience - What types of content do you want help writing? - What is the text length of your website? Follow These 5 Steps to Create a Solid Website Design 1. Conduct market research to understand customers and competitive offerings Market analysis is a crucial step when designing your website. It helps the designer determine how to position their product or service to customers and also provides insights into the competition. When doing market analysis, it's important to understand your customer and their problems. For example, you could survey existing customers to find out what they need most from their current website design. Market research is not limited to just understanding what your competitors are doing and it can also include understanding your customer's buying behavior. You could inquire into how people buy online products in general or ask them about the various types of eCommerce websites that they visit regularly for comparison shopping purposes. 2. Create a customer segments map for your business and work to prioritize who your target audience is. Most businesses should also focus on creating an ideal buyer persona with insight into what their needs & wants are. Customer segments are the different groups of people who share similar traits that can be found in a given audience. For example, a target audience might be college students. A customer segment, in that case, would be young college students. The ideal buyer persona is the customer segment who will buy your product or service and is most likely to have success with it. The goal of defining a target audience and ideal buyer persona is to know what kind of people the company wants to reach out to and what their interests are so that they can create content that matches those interests and goals. 3.This blog post discusses the three most important aspects that any SMART goal should have. SMART goals are a goal-setting process that is based on the acronym, SMART. It is a strategic approach that helps people to set and achieve their goals in an effective way. The goal should be specific and measurable for it to be achievable. The goal should also be realistic and time-bound with deadlines. SMART goals are organized into three categories: 1. Development Goals- "What do I need to do to reach my goal?" 2. Performance Goals- "How can I reach my goal?" 3. Evaluation Goals- "What should I be doing regularly to continue building towards my goal?" 4. Analyze your tactics to come up with creative campaign ideas & strategies A campaign is often the result of two things: creativity and strategy. Creative campaigns are long-term efforts that require a lot of strategy and planning. They need to be planned in a way that has maximum reach and impact. Creative campaigns have three major components: content, engagement, and media. The strategy includes long-term goals, short-term tactics, and metrics for gauging success. Strategy often starts with the target audience or event/campaign objective. It then moves on to ideas for content or engagement tactics to capture their attention. Finally, it includes metrics for gauging success and possible conversion rates to measure the return on investment (ROI). These tactics include brainstorming, mind mapping, and problem-solving. Creative campaign ideas can be identified by asking the following questions: - What is the problem we want to solve? - Who is our intended audience? - How will we convince them to get on board with our idea or company? - What is the goal of this campaign/product/etc.? - Who would be the perfect audience for this campaign or product? - How do they currently feel about it? - What do we have that they want? 5. Set your website design budget according to your business requirements Budget is one of the most important aspects of website design. It is the key to decide how much you will spend on your website design. The cost can vary depending on the size and complexity of the site, and its location. Many factors affect website budgeting - these include: - Size and complexity of your site - Location – location-specific factors like data costs - Time – if you budgeted out over a long period then you will need a larger budget in comparison to a shorter one. Business owners should not set the budget based on the cost of the website, but their business requirements. If your business is established and you don't need too much content, you can spend a little more on your website design. For newer businesses, they should use their tight budget to focus on making a good first impression. The importance of having a website that looks professional is undeniable. It is also important for those who are looking for a long-term relationship with their clients as they want to be able to provide them with content that they can use.

Thriving During COVID-19 in 2021 But our hopes are tempered by an apparent growing COVID-19 fatigue. The pandemic is taking an emotional and physical toll on physicians, nurses, healthcare professionals and other hospital workers. The stress of long hours, adherence to added safety precautions, fear of contaminating loved ones, and the isolation of caring for sick patients who are dying of COVID-19 due to few available treatments all contribute to the weariness of this situation. And, yet, medical professionals have responded to this crisis with resilience and compassion. 2020 was a year to survive, not only in terms of not succumbing to the deadly virus, but also for healthcare professionals to rise to the challenge of performing well under the most difficult of circumstances every day. Burnout rates were already high among physicians and other healthcare professionals before the COVID-19 pandemic. Those rates have not improved overall and have increased in particular for female physicians and certain specialties over the past year, according to a recent survey. In ISMIE’s first webinar on physician wellness during the pandemic, Jonathon Ripp, MD, Chief Wellness Officer at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai, New York City, spoke about the needs of healthcare professionals during this anxiety-filled time. Dr. Ripp co-authored an article on this subject for JAMA that outlines how healthcare professionals need to be heard, protected, prepared, supported and cared for during this time. How does one move from surviving to thriving in this environment? Here are a few tips — you’ll notice that these ideas are not that different from what you might counsel a patient to do during tough times. Focus on what you can control. In another recent ISMIE webinar on Bite-Sized Coping Strategies During Times of Uncertainty featuring J. Bryan Sexton, Ph.D., director of the Duke Patient Safety Center, he reminded us that stress comes from the things you can’t predict or control. So, what can you control in your life? Practice good health behaviors such as eating a healthy diet, exercising and getting enough sleep, when possible. Cut down on screen time and limit alcohol consumption. It’s important to set appropriate boundaries to hedge against burnout. Although we often experience stress over what’s happening to us today, it’s helpful to take a step back and look at the big picture. Will what’s happening today matter tomorrow, next week or next year? Try to keep a perspective on what matters most in your life, not what’s pressuring you right now. Self-care. Have compassion for yourself while caring for others. Physicians and other healthcare professionals are taught to take care of others first. You need to make sure you’re taking care of your own physical and mental health in order to be your best at home and on the job. According to this article from Brigham & Women’s Hospital, you should “monitor yourself for excessive fatigue, irritability, poor concentration or marked anxiety.” Take time to recharge your batteries. Make sure you have personal space and time for yourself occasionally, as well. Gratitude. As American historian and author Alice Morse Earle wrote, “Every day may not be good… but there’s something good in every day.” Reflect on your personal gratitude for what is good in your life and look for uplifting stories of triumphs over challenges. Dr. Sexton has conducted research studies showing that brief sessions of gratitude are associated with higher levels of happiness and lower levels of depression. He advises to start small on your journey of cultivating hope and building resilience. What do you have that without it would be tougher to cope? Maybe it’s your child, partner, family, friends, pets, neighborhood, faith community, work colleagues, music or books. Or perhaps it’s something you’re looking forward to doing post-pandemic. Holding on to the hope of seeing loved ones again or going on that trip may help get you through these tough times. Stay connected. Social contact is more important than ever. Although you may not be able to physically be with your family and friends, you can stay connected via the telephone, video communication platforms, emails, and social media. Adding some variety may help if you mix-up who you talk to on particular days. Make a list of colleagues, friends and family you’d like to connect with and then follow through by making those calls. Take advantage of warm weather days and get outside to meet your friends or other fellow work colleagues you see less frequently due to the pandemic. An outdoor walk or meeting in a park while wearing your mask and maintaining social distance may be a welcome break from your patient load and EHR charting. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers a substantial list of resources on healthy ways to cope with stress and also provides important contact information for crisis help including suicide prevention, domestic violence and substance abuse hotline numbers.

If pillows could fight it out … … you know a la The Hunger Games with a fight to the death … With the only real competition in the arena coming from this pillow … Because until you’ve held a Pom Pillow in your hands … Sure, there are a lot of great pillows out there. In fact, you can find 133 and counting of them right here at our Pillowpalooza slumber party. But the power of the Pom is undeniable … I first became smitten with the Pom when I saw it in this freshy post. And in that very same freshy post, I was directed to this tutorial at Living with Punks that showed me how to make the Pom … I started with thick wool yarn … … and wrapped it around a piece of 4” cardboard 60 or so times (not too loose, said poppa bear; not too tight said momma bear. Just right, said baby bear) … I carefully slipped it off, retaining it’s shape and tied a piece of yarn around the middle … … and pulled tight and knotted … Then cut the loops on one side, and then the other … … and was left with a pom that needed some serious trimming. So I trimmed trimmed and trimmed until I ended up with this … Twenty poms and one major blister-in-the-making down, I pinned five on each side … … and basted them on with a few stitches back and forth over the tie strings … With right sides together and poms tucked inside, I pinned … … and oh so carefully sewed. Then I turned inside out, inserted my homemade pillow form, and gushed. Now, the making of the Pom Pillow is not for the feint of heart. Or the blister averse. It’s a definite commitment. So if you’re still just a player in the pillow field, you might want to wait until you’re ready for a serious relationship. *sigh* I think I’m in love. Sorry honey. The power of the Pom cannot be denied … P.S. Be forewarned. You do not want to karate chop the Pom Pillow. It will fight back. And win. *affiliate links included. This is one of my fav pillows you make!!! Kudos to you because that’s a lot I work. Thanks for giving me a good laugh and way to start my Friday. 🙂 love this, linda! Very pretty. I used that wool-ease for a finger-knitted scarf. It has a very pretty texture and movement. ~ Dana P.S. Jack Bauer sleeps with a Pom Pillow from Linda’s shop. You are one talented gal there! Hugs and blessings, Cindy For the record, I don’t karate chop my pillows! Love your pom poms although I think you could have made them even bigger so as to have more of an impact. Think of the pillow fights you could have then!! Love this! –Katie I love your freshy poms. 😉 That is a whole heck of a lot of work – but it is amazing! You need 2 more hands – just think of all the poms you could create with an extra set! Kelly That is a serious pillow and a serious time commitment to make it! I hope if you are selling it in your (fabulous) etsy shop, you are charging enough:) Jessica stayathomeista.com I heart this pillow so much, I might be willing to take on a blister just to have one… or maybe just order one. 🙂 I keep stalking your Etsy shop — sooooo many lovelies to choose from. xo Heidi Is it weird that I just want to lay a million pom-poms in a pile and snuggle up? Yes. Probably. But they look so CUDDLY. LOL! I love all of your pillows, but the pom is so cute! i was wondering when you were going to do a “toot” on this….Now that you have placed it in the “Chuck Norris” category…I think it will be fitting to make one for my granddaughter…and take it to her little “Ninja Turtle Class” and see who wins out…I am betting on the pillow may be larger than the girls and they would rather hug it than karate chop it!… You are so totally right, that is one bad-a@& pillow….. Love…… hahaha, a possy of poms, I can only imagine the blister after making all of those poms. Glad to see your pillowpalooza is such a success!! I love love love those pom pillows! Your new Monogrammed version is the King of them all to me! How adorable. I would love if you shared this on my link party. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next. ~Taylor Great Pom Poms! I think your pom pom pillow is my favorite pillow ever, so I featured it today! Thanks for the inspiration. I just love this pillow! –Katie I’m in love too.. 🙂 Just lovely. So fun! Stopping by from TT & J and I would like for you to come by to my party and link up your awesome projects 🙂 Thanks so much!

After months of toil and criticism, Japan’s once-sluggish vaccine campaign has reached a turning point as a growing majority of the population becomes inoculated and the country prepares to roll out booster shots from December. What remains is to inoculate children ages 11 and younger, and to begin administering booster shots to medical personnel, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. The country has gone full circle as it enters the final stages of its initial rollout of the first and second doses of the vaccine, while simultaneously gearing up to begin distributing a third. The first rollout seemed to encounter problems every step of the way — problems that experts say could re-emerge if the central government doesn’t shift course in time and improve or even overhaul its system. But there’s no indication such changes will be made, said Tetsuo Nakayama, a virologist at the Kitasato University Graduate School of Infection Control Sciences and a board member of the Japanese Society for Vaccinology. “If the central government doesn’t clarify what the plan is after booster shots are distributed nationwide, the burden of responsibility will be placed on regional municipalities,” he said. “Which is what played a large role in the confusion and delays we saw earlier this year.” As of Monday, 76.7% of the population in Japan had received both doses. The government pledged in September that all willing recipients will be fully inoculated by the end of November. Asked Monday whether the country had achieved the goal, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno deflected the question. “I have been told that regional governments say they have completed the process for the most part,” he told reporters Monday morning. Booster shots will be offered eight months after the second does so, unlike the first and second doses, the schedule is clearer, Matsuno said. Japan’s vaccine program saw a slow start after it began with medical personnel in February this year, followed by elderly residents age 65 and older the following month. The age range gradually widened over the subsequent six months — the first few months of which saw Japan with the lowest vaccination rate among industrialized nations. The country partially redeemed itself earlier in November when it temporarily surpassed Canada to achieve the highest inoculation rate among Group of Seven nations. Though Canada has reclaimed that position, Japan remains near the top of the list. The country was already at a disadvantage because of its inability to produce vaccines domestically, but that was compounded by delays and disruptions caused by a series of mistakes and miscalculations. Among the blunders were thousands of vials left unrefrigerated, forgetful or occasionally opportunistic individuals getting extra doses and several cases where syringes contained foreign contaminants or saline solution rather than the real vaccine. More systemic issues include government websites crashing under an onslaught of users looking to secure an appointment, as well as vaccine shipment inequities arising between prefectures due to the differences in population size and budgets. Many of those same prefectures are now making their own preparations by revamping the systems that caused the initial stumbles. “Confusion will arise if the supply chain isn’t stable,” said Akita Gov. Norihisa Satake. “Besides staffing problems, converting venues into vaccine sites will cause issues on the ground.” Nagoya decided that tickets to make an appointment will be distributed incrementally, rather than all at once, which is what caused a system crash earlier this year. Kobe will expand its vaccination sites and the capital of Hyogo intends to notify residents of their automatically scheduled appointments, rather than allow them to decide the date, time and location. Still, the duration of protection offered by booster shots is not yet clear, given the transient nature of COVID-19 antibodies. The central government decided that booster shots should be taken eight months after an individual has received their second dose, but that interval could be shortened to six months depending on the local situation. A decline in antibodies doesn’t necessarily imply a weaker immunity to COVID-19, Nakayama said, adding that, though it’s most likely safe, there’s still little research into the risks of administering booster shots to young children. “There needs to be a discussion over who needs to get a booster shot and why,” he said. “The real issue is whether current vaccines will sufficiently protect against new variants.” Japan is working to procure booster shots for all people 18 and older. Earlier this month, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced a bundle of policies that included, among other things, plans to administer booster shots to medical personnel in December and vaccinate children between ages 5 and 11. Children 12 and older are currently eligible to get vaccinated but availability and safety concerns remain issues for many parents. Japan has yet to approve booster shots for people between 12 and 17 years of age due to a lack of research and data, but older people who have received both initial doses of the Pfizer vaccine will become eligible in January after medical personnel and health care workers. The health ministry plans to discuss approval of Moderna Inc.’s booster shots in late December, with hopes to begin administering them in February. Japan has secured 120 million booster shots from Pfizer and 50 million from Moderna for the new year. The country is looking to secure 150 million doses of a vaccine by U.S. pharmaceutical firm Novavax Inc. by early 2022. The introduction of a vaccinated-or-negative policy by next March could help Japan begin to rebuild its economy. Perhaps more importantly, the package could incentivize those who remain hesitant of the vaccine to get their shots. Earlier this year, the proliferation of the delta variant — which is thought to be twice as contagious as the original strain of the coronavirus — wreaked havoc in countries around the world. In Japan, it pushed the fifth wave of the pandemic to unprecedented heights, triggering a surge in patients that overwhelmed hospitals before spilling into temporary medical facilities and eventually into homes, where many were asked to isolate and await treatment. “Booster shots don’t mean other pandemic countermeasures can be abandoned,” Nakayama said. “Elderly folks, people with compromised immune systems and other vulnerable individuals should receive a booster shot but, in the meantime, the pandemic will continue for the time being and precautions should be taken.

Abstract Growing evidence suggests that soluble Aβ species can drive Alzheimer disease (AD) pathogenesis by inducing a cascade of events including tau hyperphosphorylation, proteasome impairment, and synaptic dysfunction. However, these studies have relied largely on in vitro approaches to examine the role of soluble Aβ in AD. In particular, it remains unknown whether soluble Aβ oligomers can facilitate the development of human wild-type tau pathology in vivo. To address this question, we developed a novel transgenic model that expresses low levels of APP with the Arctic familial AD mutation to enhance soluble Aβ oligomer formation in conjunction with wild-type human tau. Using a genetic approach, we show that reduction of β-site APP cleaving enzyme (BACE) in these ArcTau mice decreases soluble Aβ oligomers, rescues cognition, and, more importantly, reduces tau accumulation and phosphorylation. Notably, BACE reduction decreases the postsynaptic mislocalization of tau in ArcTau mice and reduces the association between NMDA receptors and PSD-95. These studies provide critical in vivo evidence for a strong mechanistic link between soluble Aβ, wild-type tau, and synaptic pathology. Introduction Alzheimer disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of two hallmark pathologies, Aβ plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (Querfurth and LaFerla, 2010). Though studies show that Aβ promotes tau pathology in vitro, a key question that remains is whether soluble Aβ species can promote the accumulation and phosphorylation of wild-type tau in vivo. The past several years of research have revealed an important role for soluble, oligomeric Aβ in cognitive and physiological dysfunction (Glabe, 2008). Aβ oligomers have been detected in both human AD brain and transgenic mouse models of AD and correlate better with disease progression than insoluble fibrillar plaques (McLean et al., 1999; Näslund et al., 2000; Lacor et al., 2004; Billings et al., 2005; Lesné et al., 2006). Interestingly, Aβ oligomers can induce tau mislocalization and phosphorylation in vitro, providing intriguing evidence that soluble Aβ modulates the development of tau pathology (Deshpande et al., 2006; Zempel et al., 2010). However, few studies have examined whether soluble Aβ oligomers influence wild-type human tau pathology in vivo. To further investigate this question, we designed a double-transgenic mouse model that produces low levels of Arctic mutant Aβ (E22G) to preferentially drive the production of soluble oligomers and protofibrils without producing insoluble Aβ fibrils. By combining Arctic Aβ with the expression of wild-type human tau, this new model provides a unique tool to examine the effects of soluble, near physiological levels of oligomeric Aβ on tau pathology and cognition. To examine this question, hemizygous ArcTau mice were crossed with heterozygous BACE knock-out (BACE+/−) mice. The resulting ArcTau+/BACE+/− mice were then compared with ArcTau+/BACE+/+ littermates. As expected, heterozygous deletion of BACE reduces soluble Aβ and Aβ oligomers. More importantly, the reduction in soluble Aβ oligomers is accompanied by a decrease in human tau pathology, including reduced association of tau with PSD-95, and a rescue of learning and memory deficits. Our data therefore indicate that soluble Aβ, particularly soluble Aβ fibrillar oligomers, facilitate wild-type tau pathology in vivo. Importantly the reduction in soluble Aβ and tau pathology are accompanied by improved cognition. Thus, soluble Aβ fibrillar oligomers represent a viable therapeutic target for early disease modification. Materials and Methods Generation of ArcTau transgenic mice. APP and tau constructs were subcloned into the Thy1.2 expression cassette via homologous recombination (In-Fusion; Clonetech). APP695 with Arctic and Swedish mutations and wild-type human 2N/4R Tau cDNAs [gifts from Drs. Lars Lannfelt (Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden) and Michael Vitek (Duke University, Durham, NC)] were amplified by proof-checking PCR using primers with 15 bp homology to the insertion site and a Kozac sequence: APP forward: 5′-GCGTCGACGTGGCTAGCCACCATGCTGCCCGGTTT-3′ and APP reverse: 5′-CGAGAACCGCGGAATCGATCTAGTTCTGCATCTGCTCAAAGAAC-3′, Tau forward: 5′-GCGTCGACGTGGCTAGCCACCATGGCTGAGCCCCGC-3′ and Tau reverse: 5′-CGAGAACCGCGGAATCGATTCACAAACCCTGCTTGGCC-3′. PCR products and linearized Thy1.2 plasmid were purified by gel extraction and the In-fusion reaction performed. Targeting cassettes were liberated from sequence-verified clones, purified by gel extraction, and co-microinjected into the pronuclei of single-cell C57BL6 embryos by the UC Irvine Transgenic Mouse Facility. Transgenic genotyping and breeding. All animal procedures were performed in strict accordance with NIH and University of California guidelines. Mice were housed on a 12 h/12 h light/dark schedule with ad libitum food and water. Transgenic mice were identified by tail PCR, and nontransgenic littermate controls were generated by crossing heterozygous transgenics with wild-type C57BL6 mice (Jax Laboratories). Genotyping demonstrated 100% coinheritance of APP and tau transgenes in all three founder lines, suggesting cointegration of the two transgenes, as previously observed (Oddo et al., 2003). Hemizygous ArcTau mice were crossed with heterozygous BACE knock-out mice (Roberds et al., 2001) to produce three experimental groups: ArcTau/BACE+/−, ArcTau/BACE+/+, and WT/BACE+/−. Morris water maze. Hippocampal-dependent learning and memory was examined by a blinded observer, using the Morris water maze (MWM) following standard protocols (Billings et al., 2005). Briefly, male and female 15-month-old animals were habituated to a 1-m-diameter circular pool filled with opaque water maintained at 29°C. During the 8 d of training, mice were placed into the pool and allowed to find a submerged escape platform (4 trials/d). On the ninth day, the platform was removed to assess memory retention for the former platform location. Tissue processing and biochemical analysis. Mice were killed by Nembutal overdose and cardiac perfusion with 0.01 m PBS. Brains were removed and cut along the sagittal midline. Half the brain was frozen on dry ice for subsequent biochemical analysis and half was fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (pH 7.4, 48 h). Fixed half-brains were cut coronally on a Vibratome (50 μm) and stored in PBS with 0.02% NaN3 at 4°C. Half brains (excluding cerebellum) were processed to isolate soluble and insoluble protein; Western blots, Aβ ELISAs, and dot blots were performed as previously described (Blurton-Jones et al., 2009). Coimmunoprecipitation was performed using PSD-95 antibody (Abcam) and DynaBeads (Invitrogen). Immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy. Fluorescent labeling followed standard protocols (Blurton-Jones et al., 2009). Primary antibodies included: 6E10 (Signet), CT-20 (Calbiochem), Tau: HT7 (Innogenetics), PHF-1 (gift from P. Davies, Albert Einstein College, Yeshiva University, New York, NY), β-actin (Sigma), and GAPDH (Santa Cruz Biotechnology). Primary antibodies were applied overnight at 4°C and detected with appropriate AlexaFluor-conjugated secondary antibodies (Invitrogen). Specificity of all primary antibodies was confirmed by Western blot and by omission of primary antibody in immunofluorescent labeling. Sections were visualized using a Bio-Rad 2100 confocal system and lambda-strobing mode (Bio-Rad Laboratories). Statistical analysis. Comparisons between multiple groups were performed using ANOVA followed by Fischer's PLSD post hoc tests. Analysis of MWM acquisition was examined via repeated-measures ANOVA. Groups were considered significantly different when p < 0.05 for both the ANOVA and post hoc comparisons. Comparisons between two groups used unpaired Student's t test. All statistical analysis was performed using Statview5.01 software. Results ArcTau mice develop age-related deficits in learning and memory and increasing pathology To test whether ArcTau mice develop age-related cognitive dysfunction, transgenic and control mice were tested in the MWM at 6, 12, and 18 months of age. At 6 months, ArcTau mice learn normally during MWM acquisition, but exhibit memory deficits for the platform location during probe trial testing (data not shown). By 12 months, cognition further deteriorates as ArcTau mice exhibit not only probe trial deficits but also take significantly longer to learn the platform location during MWM acquisition versus wild-type (WT) mice (Fig. 1D,E). These impairments become even further pronounced by 18 months (data not shown). Importantly, these differences cannot be attributed to motor deficits, as the swim speeds of both ArcTau and WT mice are equivalent (data not shown), and there are no differences found in Rotarod testing (Fig. 1B). Thus, ArcTau mice develop progressive age-related impairments in learning and memory, recapitulating an important feature of AD pathogenesis. ArcTau mice develop age-related Alzheimer-like pathology and cognitive decline. A, Schematic depiction of human APP and tau transgenes co-microinjected to produce ArcTau transgenic mice. B, ArcTau mice do not display motor deficits at 15 months, as shown by the average time spent on Rotarod compared with WT. C, ArcTau transgenic mice express twofold higher levels of APP (22C11 antibody) and equivalent levels of human and endogenous mouse tau (Tau46 antibody). D, Twelve-month-old ArcTau mice and WT littermate controls were trained in the Morris water maze for 8 d. ArcTau mice performed significantly worse on days 7 and 8 of acquisition. E, ArcTau mice also exhibited poor memory for the platform's former location, as evidenced by significantly longer latencies in a 24 h probe trial. F, ArcTau mice show a significant increase in OC+ fibrillar oligomers at 12 months. G, Representative dot blot of ArcTau half-brain samples at 6, 12, and 18 months. H–J, Histological analysis at 6 months reveals intraneuronal Aβ-like pathology. Full-length APP and Aβ is shown in green (H) and C terminus of APP is stained in red (I); thus, Aβ is detected by green-only puncta in the merge (J). K–M, Wild-type total htau (HT7) is evident throughout the hippocampus (K), specifically CA1 (L), and the cortex (M) at 6 months. N, O, Rare diffuse plaques only begin to appear at 18 months (subiculum shown). P, Q, Hyperphosphorylated (PHF+) somatodendritic wild-type tau is detected in the CA1 at 18 months. N = 8–10 per group; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. Error bars represent ± SEM. Although we deliberately chose to express low levels (∼2-fold) of APP in the ArcTau model (Fig. 1C), these mice nevertheless develop age-related deficits in learning and memory. Given the importance of soluble Aβ oligomers in cognitive decline, we next examined these species using conformational-dependent antibodies (Kayed et al., 2003, 2007; Lesné et al., 2006). The A11 antibody labels prefibrillar oligomers, whereas OC antibody specifically labels conformationally distinct fibrillar oligomers (Glabe, 2008). Fibrillar oligomers are identified by 6 months and show a dramatic increase at 12 months, corresponding with the time point that significant learning and memory deficits are first observed (Fig. 1F,G). Intraneuronal Aβ, identified by colabeling with 6E10 (Aβ/APP) and a C-terminal-specific APP antibody, is also observed by 6 months within CA1 neurons, the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala, and cortical pyramidal neurons (Fig. 1H–J). At the same age, ArcTau mice exhibit extensive somatodendritic tau pathology throughout the hippocampus, subiculum, amygdala, and cortex, despite the fact that the mice only harbor a wild-type human tau transgene (Fig. 1K–M). As ArcTau mice age, intraneuronal Aβ pathology increases, yet extracellular Aβ deposition does not occur until 18 months (Fig. 1N,O). Interestingly, the small Aβ plaques observed in aged mice are diffuse, thioflavin-negative, and appear similar to the donut-shaped plaques reported in human patients harboring the Arctic mutation (Basun et al., 2008). This result is consistent with recent findings demonstrating that OC-positive fibrillar oligomers do not seed fibrillar plaque formation (Wu et al., 2010). Biochemical analyses confirm the diffuse soluble nature of these plaques, as detergent-insoluble Aβ is undetectable at any of the ages examined (data not shown). Notably, wild-type tau pathology also increases with age, including the appearance of PHF-1-positive neurons within the hippocampus and subiculum of 18-month-old mice (Fig. 1P,Q). Interestingly, Gallyas-positive insoluble aggregates and neuronal loss are not observed in ArcTau mice, even after 20 months (data not shown). This is consistent with previous wild-type tau models that overexpress human tau in the presence of endogenous mouse tau (Duff et al., 2000; Zhang et al., 2004); however, wild-type human tau can form paired-helical filaments and neurofibrillary tangles in a transgenic model that lacks endogenous tau (Andorfer et al., 2003), suggesting that the presence of murine tau may modulate the development of Gallyas-positive neurofibrillary tangles. Partial BACE deletion reduces soluble Aβ and prevents ArcTau learning and memory impairments Genetic reduction of BACE1, the primary enzyme responsible for amyloidogenic cleavage of APP, was achieved by crossing hemizygous ArcTau mice with heterozygous BACE knock-outs. Interestingly, ArcTau/BACE+/− mice perform as well as WT/BACE+/− in MWM at 15 months. BACE+/− mice have normal cognition (Roberds et al., 2001). In contrast, ArcTau littermates with physiological BACE expression (ArcTau/BACE+/+) exhibit significant learning and memory deficits (Fig. 2). The fact that only a partial reduction in BACE is sufficient to prevent cognitive deficits indicates that BACE inhibitors could be effective therapeutics for memory impairment. Partial genetic deletion of BACE prevents learning and memory impairments. A, Fifteen-month-old ArcTau, ArcTau/BACE+/−, and WT/BACE+/− were trained in Morris water maze for 8 d. ArcTau/BACE+/− performed similarly to WT/BACE+/− (cognitively normal), while ArcTau/BACE+/+ displayed significant learning deficits on days 4, 7, and 8. B, C, In the 24 h probe trial, ArcTau/BACE+/+ mice took almost twice as long to reach the former platform location and also crossed this area significantly fewer times than ArcTau/BACE+/− and WT/BACE+/− mice. Error bars represent ± SEM; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. We next investigated the effects of BACE reduction on soluble Aβ. As expected, soluble Aβ levels are partially decreased by heterozygous BACE deletion (p = 0.0002; Fig. 3E), consistent with previous studies (McConlogue et al., 2007), while APP expression remains unchanged (Fig. 3A,B). Interestingly, levels of Aβ oligomers, particularly OC-positive fibrillar oligomers, are also significantly decreased in the ArcTau/BACE+/− compared with ArcTau/BACE+/+ (p = 0.01; Fig. 3C,D). Together, these data provide evidence that soluble Aβ oligomers play an important role in ArcTau mice cognitive impairment, as reduction in these species restores cognition to wild-type levels. Partial genetic reduction of BACE reduces Arctic Aβ and prefibrillar oligomeric Aβ. A, BACE levels are significantly decreased in ArcTau/BACE+/− compared with ArcTau/BACE+/+ mice, while APP and α-secretase ADAM17 levels are unchanged. B, Quantitation of the Western blots in A by densitometric analysis, shown as percentage of control. C, D, Dot blots from ArcTau animals with BACE knockdown show less fibrillar oligomers, as detected by OC antibody, while levels of prefibrillar oligomers detected by A11 do not vary. E, Levels of Aβ40 are significantly decreased in ArcTau/BACE+/− mice, measured by standard ELISA methods. Aβ42 is undetectable in this model. N = 4–5 per group. Error bars represent ± SEM; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. Reduction of soluble Aβ prevents mislocalization and accumulation of wild-type human tau pathology Because we demonstrated that partial BACE reduction was sufficient to reduce soluble Aβ, we next sought to investigate whether there was a concomitant decrease in wild-type tau pathology. Biochemical analysis revealed significant reductions in total soluble tau levels (HT7) as well as levels of PHF-1 hyperphosphorylated tau (pS396/S404; Fig. 4A,B). We did not detect differences in levels of murine phosphorylated tau at any of the epitopes examined. Levels of several other human tau phosphorylation epitopes and activity of the major tau kinases, GSK3β and Cdk5, remain unchanged (Fig. 4D,E), suggesting that soluble oligomeric forms of Aβ likely facilitate tau pathology by inhibiting tau degradation, rather than enhancing tau phosphorylation. Additionally, immunohistochemistry analysis demonstrated a lack of somatodendritic localized tau in ArcTau/BACE+/− compared with ArcTau/BACE+/+, indicating that BACE reduction largely prevents tau mislocalization (Fig. 4C). To examine the potential mechanisms by which Aβ may facilitate tau accumulation, we probed for several markers in the proteasome and autophagic degradative pathways. The slight increase in the tau E3 ligase C terminus of heat shock protein 70 interacting protein (CHIP) and decrease in ubiquitinated proteins in ArcTau/BACE+/− mice suggest that there may be improved proteasomal function compared with ArcTau/BACE+/+ mice, but these trends are not statistically significant. LC3-I is significantly increased in both ArcTau/BACE genotypes compared with wild-type, but no further differences are detected between ArcTau/BACE+/+ and ArcTau/BACE+/− (Fig. 4F,G). Additionally, no differences in levels of the presynaptic marker synaptophysin were detected in any genotype, suggesting that altered synaptic number does not contribute to the observed cognitive differences. Reduction of soluble Aβ prevents mislocalization and accumulation of wild-type tau. A, B, Total tau levels and tau phosphorylated at pS396/S404 are decreased in ArcTau/BACE+/− mice, whereas other phospho-tau epitopes remain unchanged. C, Somatodendritic wild-type human tau is abundant in ArcTau/ BACE+/+ mice, while barely detectable in the somatodendritic compartments of ArcTau/BACE+/− mice. D, E, Western blots probing for alterations in kinase levels or activity show no differences between ArcTau/BACE+/+ and ArcTau/BACE+/− mice. F, G, There are no statistically significant differences in proteasome activity, as evidenced by levels of CHIP and ubiquitinated proteins, or autophagy (LC3) between ArcTau/BACE+/+ and ArcTau/BACE+/− mice, although there appears to be a buildup of autophagosomes in both ArcTau genotypes compared with wild-type. H, I, Interestingly, coimmunoprecipitation reveals dramatic decreases in the association between PSD-95 and tau, Fyn kinase, and the NR2B subunit of the NMDA receptor in ArcTau/BACE+/− versus ArcTau/BACE+/+ mice. N = 4–5 per group; *p < 0.05 compared with ArcTau/BACE+/+ mice. Error bars represent ± SEM. To further probe for the mechanisms responsible for the robust cognitive differences observed in ArcTau mice with BACE reduction, we performed coimmunoprecipitation with the presynaptic scaffolding protein, PSD-95. Importantly, we found marked differences in levels of human tau, Fyn kinase, and NR2B between all three genotypes, while levels of Homer remained unchanged (Fig. 4F,G). These data fit well with previous findings that suggest that dendritic mislocalization of tau and Fyn kinase can stabilize the interaction between PSD-95 and NMDA receptor complexes (Ittner et al., 2010), possibly rendering the synapse more susceptible to Aβ-dependent excitotoxicity. Discussion We and others previously used mutant forms of tau to study the interaction between Aβ and tau (Götz et al., 2001; Lewis et al., 2001; Oddo et al., 2003, 2004). Although such analyses have revealed important information about the potential relationship between Aβ and tau, some of these interactions likely differ depending on whether mutant or wild-type tau is examined. An important unresolved question is therefore whether Aβ can facilitate wild-type tau in vivo. ArcTau mice develop increasing Aβ oligomer and wild-type human tau pathology, leading to progressive age-related impairments in cognition. More importantly, partial reduction in BACE decreases not only soluble Aβ levels, but also tau pathology and cognitive decline. In contrast to previous transgenic models using the Arctic mutation, we chose to microinject a low copy number of the Arctic/Swedish APP construct to investigate the effects of near physiological levels of Aβ, pertinent to early events in AD (Cheng et al., 2004; Lord et al., 2006). The aggressive development of insoluble Aβ pathology in these prior models is useful for certain studies but makes it difficult to separate the contributions of soluble versus insoluble Aβ. ArcTau mice do not form insoluble thioflavin-positive Aβ plaques; thus, our data demonstrate that soluble Aβ can drive the development of cognitive dysfunction. Recent clinical data support our findings by showing low Pittsburgh compound B retention in early-onset familial AD patients carrying the Arctic mutation, despite severe cognitive deficits (Schöll et al., 2012). Additionally, our experiments demonstrate that low levels of soluble Aβ oligomers can profoundly influence the development of wild-type human tau pathology. Notably, BACE reduction resulted in a specific decrease in soluble Aβ levels and OC+ oligomers. In turn, total tau and PHF-1 hyperphosphorylated tau were also significantly reduced. It remains unclear precisely how tau is reduced in ArcTau/BACE+/− mice, although experiments in other models suggest that Aβ-mediated proteasome impairment is likely involved (Oddo et al., 2008; Tseng et al., 2008). Interestingly, we observed a trend for increased expression of the tau E3 ligase, CHIP, and decreased levels of ubiquitinated proteins in ArcTau/BACE+/− mice, suggesting that altered proteasomal function may be involved. However, future studies will be needed to fully decipher the mechanism by which partial BACE deletion reduces tau. Our examination of synaptic proteins suggest that the cognitive impairment in ArcTau mice is likely due to the accumulation of tau in the synapse and the enhancement of NMDA receptor retention by PSD-95. Notably, each of these findings is partially mitigated by BACE reduction and cognitive function is correspondingly improved. Together, our findings demonstrate that soluble Aβ oligomers drive the development of both cognitive dysfunction and tau pathology. Curiously, a recent study reported that BACE knock-out in 3xTg-AD mice reduced Aβ levels without affecting tau immunoreactivity (Winton et al., 2011). Although biochemical analyses were not included, the conclusions of Winton and colleagues (2011) contradicts several prior studies demonstrating that immunological or genetic reduction of Aβ reduces tau pathology in 3xTg-AD and other AD mouse models (Götz et al., 2001; Oddo et al., 2004, 2008; Pérez et al., 2005). Our current study, using a similar approach to Winton et al. (2011), also contradicts their findings, revealing that reduction of soluble Aβ reduces the development of wild-type human tau pathology. Our data further support the notion that Aβ can drive tau pathogenesis. Importantly, the current study also clearly demonstrates that soluble Aβ is critical for this process. Thus, early targeting of soluble Aβ oligomers may provide an effective method to not only improve memory but also prevent tau-mediated neuronal dysfunction in AD.

Having a remote Interview can be quite tasking with a lot of impediments standing in your way as well as that of your prospective employer to disrupt a smooth process. In light of our new reality of social distancing, organisations are still hiring the best and brightest talents to help meet their goals during these challenging times. You will agree with me that nothing is worse than being shortlisted for a job interview you qualified for and having things other than your skills mess it up for you, well not to worry, let us take a look at tips to help you ace your next remote interview. Tip 1: Ask The Right Questions Asking yourself the right questions ahead of your remote interview would help inform your preparation choices. Immediately you are contacted by the hiring manager, endeavour to learn more about what platforms/tools are required from you for the interview to be a successful one. Questions like would it be via calls or other audio mediums, would it require audio-visuals tools, or would you need to create an account if it’s a platform you lack access to or knowledge about to help you familiarise with the tools before the interview date. Is this article a good read? Let us know, by leaving your feedback here. Tip 2: Do Your Research Take a fresh look at the job description and details it entails to enable you to prep your answers and storytelling during the interview. Your research would just like in a face to face interview, include learning more about the prospective employer, the industry, competition and new opportunities. This would help you identify where your strengths align both for the role and at the organisation. Tip 3: Test Your Equipment & Technology You can run a prep interview via the same platform your interview would be conducted with a friend to enable you test that you have great audio/video, quality internet connectivity, and quality network reception for calls. Also, pick out a great location with minimal noise and human interference to help you focus on acing the job interview on the scheduled date. Tip 4: Dress For Success Whether it is for a video-call you are using for your remote interview, dressing up and looking the part would help put your mind in the right mental state for it. For video interviews, A tie and Shirt in a well-lit location would do great magic for you; always avoid light interference from behind you but facing a closed window would help with proper lighting. Tip 5: Look Into Your Camera Lens Not Screen Looking into your camera lens creates a “soul-piercing” connection with the interviewer(s) at the other end during your remote interview as this creates the illusion of looking at them in the eye just like during a face to face interview Tip 6: Be Audible and Confident During your remote interview, do not get into a slouched position. Seat uprightly and appropriate as this would affect your vocal tone. Hence, speak up (don’t shout but, be audible enough when speaking) to inspire confidence as well as knowledge of your craft. Tip 7: Ask Questions Just like you would in the face to face interview scenarios, endeavour to ask 1-3 questions that are relatable to the job, organisation and current global scenarios in the world as it affects you and the prospective employers. Some sample questions could include: - How has the current Covid19 pandemic affected your organisation? - What is the most important trait you look out for in employees? - What lessons on remote work and new opportunities have you identified? - What are your company values? Conclusion on Remote Interview Tips Interviews either conducted physically or remotely, are all about selling your skills to a buyer (employer) and your ability to sell to them would help you ace that interview. We hope these tips will help you get hired on your next remote job interview. Keep applying and optimising your skills and career brand, you’ll land that job soon. Was this article a good read?

A large portion of anyone’s summer’s plan should include stretching out in a hammock with a good book. If a hammock isn’t available, then finding a park bench or spot on a shoreline will also do nicely. Summers are meant for kids playing in the backyard and families going on vacations. It will help if the “to-do” items on the house chore list are complete before the relaxation and fun can begin. Here’s what should be on your prep list for the home: Service the Air Conditioner As temperatures rise, your air conditioner will get a work out. It probably has been sitting idle for most of the last several months, but not you want to count on it to be ready to keep the house cool. To make that happen, you’ll want to perform a little preventative maintenance by flushing out the system and cleaning the filters. That is easy to do with a window unit but it might be more complicated with central air. That is a job for a professional HVAC tech to inspect the A/C and clean out your home’s air ducts. Clean Windows & Screens Bright, sunshiny days are part of the summer and are best viewed through clean windows. This is the time to tackle cleaning your windows both from the inside and the outside. A squeegee is the best tool to use for this goal. Outside, you can also wash down the windows with your garden hose. Just don’t use a pressure washer. It might break the glass. While you’re outside, collect all the screens from the windows and give them a thorough hosing down, as well. You should also inspect your window casings for any rot or other damage and get that fix before the next big storm. Tune Up Summer Tools Like your air conditioner, your lawn mower has also been dormant for the last few months. Now you could be mowing the lawn every other week. That means you want to make sure your mower is up to the challenge. You can remove the blades and get them sharpened. If you have a gas-powered mower, then replace your oil, spark plugs and fuel filters. When everything is put back together, give it all a good lubrication. Inspect the Roof Time to break out the ladder and clean your rain gutters. While you’re up there, you’ll be able to inspect the roof for any damage. This is even more important if your roof has passed the thirty-year mark. With regard to the rain gutters, you should run the hose through them after cleaning to make sure the water flows as it should. Remove the Rubbish Although you might have already done a deep clean throughout the house for spring, there might still be some lingering rubbish items that need to be removed. Anything that can’t fit into the trash, but you’ve decided you no long need, should be haul away. This is another type of job for an outside pro and the best company for this task is Junk Works. These are the expert junk haulers who can swiftly cart off any item in your home regardless of size or weight. Kick off your summer by getting the house clear of rubbish. Junk Works can help with that task. Set up your session today.

Fabulous Fall Stash Buster Mini Album for Really Reasonable Ribbon Hello, Ribbon Lovers! Fall is my absolute favorite time of year, and I am so happy that it is finally here! Today I have a Fabulous Fall Stash Buster Mini Album made with Really Reasonable Ribbon to share with you. What do I mean by “stash buster?” Well, if you are anything like me, you have some really wonderful retired fall collections gathering dust in your crafty space. I decided it was time to put these beautiful collections (and scraps) to good use. And what better way to use up your stash than in a Fabulous Fall Stash Buster Mini Album? This album measures 5″ x 7″ with a mixed media chipboard cover. The simple “O” ring binding is finished off with beautiful Really Reasonable Ribbon. Fabulous Fall Stash Buster Mini Album: The Ribbons In addition to the fall ribbons from the September Ribbon Club Collection, I used Autumn Diamond Print Grosgrain and Noble Peacock Seam Binding. The ribbon is simply tied onto the ring binding using square knots. Doesn’t it look like fall leaves fluttering to the ground? I did use some really cute dies to make the acorns, leaves and pumpkins in this mini album. They are from My Maker’s Movement (formerly Cheery Lynn). Since I created a video tour of this Fabulous Fall Stash Buster Mini Album, I’ll just share a few still photos with you here. Fabulous Fall Stash Buster Mini Album Project Share on YouTube I hope this post has encouraged you to dig out your retired collections and use them to make something fabulous. Thanks so much for stopping by! Cheerio, kathy Kathy, love the use of the rings to create an album that isn’t bound by a set spine width. It’s perfect for using so many crafting products from here and there and everywhere. The variety of ribbon pieces tied to the rings add such a fun element and create a type of spine that keeps the “pages” in place–such a great idea. As always, you have such a gift for creating. tfs Dear Kathy …luv luv luv this adorable fall mini album! The colors are scrumptious! Fall is my absolute favorite time of year also!

We all have topics we are drawn to. For me, one of those topics is memory. Why? Because it’s a tricky thing, sometimes kind and sometimes cruel. Like life, then, and so, a perfect metaphor. While poking around the book, Selected Poems & Translations : 1969-1991 by William Matthews, I came across “Housework,” a poem that hits my topical sweet spot. Let’s listen in (to the voice in your head, I mean): Housework by William Matthews How precise it seems, like a dollhouse, and look: the tiniest socks ever knit are crumpled on a chair in your bedroom. And how still, like the air inside a church or basketball. How you could have lived your boyhood here is hard to know, unless the blandishing lilacs and slant rain stippling the lamplight sustained you, and the friendship of dogs, and the secrecy that flourishes in vacant lots. For who would sleep, like a cat in a drawer, in this house memory is always dusting, unless it be you? I’d hear you on the stairs, an avalanche of sneakers, and then the sift of your absence and then I’d begin to rub the house like a lantern until you came back and grew up to be me, wondering how to sleep in this lie of memory unless it be made clean. The first thing Matthews gets right is how everything from the past shrinks. Anyone who has “gone home again” á la Thomas Wolfe knows as much. He puts that to work in this poem by mentioning the “dollhouse” effect and the “tiniest socks.” As a teacher of poetry, a genre most students are allergic to, I always encouraged students to simply identify cool lines that they liked. Avoiding treasure hunts for poetic devices helped young readers to relax and just go with what sounded neat. Inevitably, they were drawn to words and lines that were (wait for it) poetic devices. I’m sure, if I assigned this in a classroom, students would jump all over “And how still, like the air inside a church / or basketball.” Ninety-nine of us could link stillness with the inside of a church, but the inside of a basketball? In a poem going back in time to the life of a young boy? Now that’s pretty cool (and oh, by the way, a simile, too). The only other requirement I had in class is that students look up any word they didn’t know. Here it would be “blandishing” as in “blandishing lilacs.” To blandish is to coax or cajole so, metaphorically, we get the spellbinding smell of lilacs that often attracts people’s noses. More cool lines? How about, quite simply, “and slant rain stippling the lamplight / sustained you, and the friendship of dogs, / and the secrecy that flourishes in vacant lots.” It’s kind of a sad, viewing-the-past-through-the-gauze-of-memory moment, no? Perhaps this was a lonely boy, then? Then we get the line about “this house that memory is always dusting.” Neat. Each time you return to a particular memory, you’re dusting it, cleaning it up, changing it ever so slightly. Finally there is the allusion to Aladdin’s lamp, wherein the house is rubbed “like a lantern” until “you” (who really is the speaker himself) returns by growing up “to be me.” Dopplegänger stuff, almost. And why I like memory poems so much, especially where the speaker is a player and all of life a stage. In a word: Cool.

Feeling Sad or Feeling Seasonal Affective Disorder? With everything that’s going on in the world, you might find yourself feeling a bit low at the moment. This is completely understandable, and it is important to remember that all feelings are valid and negative feelings usually pass in time. However, if you notice a sadness or low mood often during the winter months, and rarely during the rest of the year, you may be experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD is a type of seasonal depression that comes and goes in pattern with the seasons. Most commonly, people describe SAD as taking place in winter and they feel better in the summer, but some people experience it at different times of the year. The NHS describes symptoms such as a persistent low mood, a loss of interest in normal everyday activities, irritability, feelings of despair, guilt and worthlessness, feeling lethargic (lacking in energy) and sleepy during the day, sleeping for longer than normal and finding it hard to get up in the morning and craving carbohydrates and gaining weight. Whilst it is common for many people to experience some of these symptoms over winter, for those who experience SAD they can be debilitating and can impact daily life. It is important to speak to your GP if you are worried you may be experiencing symptoms of SAD as there are treatments that can make a real difference. As well as speaking to your GP, making sure you get as much natural sunlight as possible can help improve symptoms. Eating healthily and exercising can also help, as can learning strategies to manage stress levels. Research has shown that the following Positive Psychology activities* are effective in creating a more positive mood, so try; expressing gratitude for the small things in your life; creating mindful moments where you slow down and use your senses to really pay attention to what is happening (this is great to try when cooking, showering or even washing hands!); showing random acts of kindness; visualising a time or moment that made you happy; taking a photo of something you noticed in nature. Finally, make sure you take time to practice self-care too! It is too easy to get swept up in our busy lives and end up sitting on the sofa feeling miserable and zoning out. It is far better to engage in enjoyable self-care activities that will help you feel more relaxed, recharged and revitalised. *Please know that these suggestions are not a magic bullet for SAD, you should always speak to your GP first if you are concerned. #wellnesswednesday #wednesdaymotivation #seasons #keystonetohappiness #positivepsychology #happinessfromwithin #gooddaysandbaddays #SAD #winterblues #onefootinfrontoftheother #allfeelingsarevalid #keepgoing #startsmallstartnow #struggling #dontgiveup #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthandwellbeing

Employee Newsletter.” One of the tools Campbell is using to help the harried shopper—and increase sales of our products—is the iQ Shelf Maximizer, a gravity-fed shelving system Campbell introduced in supermarkets two years ago. Created by Gamon International of Elk Grove, IL, the system fits onto store shelves and holds a stack of soup cans (usually 25 cans) inside. On the front of each unit are large graphics of Campbell Soup cans that clearly show shoppers where their favorites are located—the graphics are 210 percent larger than the actual soup cans. The front panel of the system swings open for convenient product stocking. The system keeps the Campbell soup section organized. It prevents the products from being scattered or pushed to the back of the shelf. And most important, it makes shopping the section a much more positive experience for the consumer. “A lot of the feedback we’re getting is that because of this large ‘billboard’ effect on the front of the system, consumers are actually finding varieties of Campbell’s Soup that they didn’t even know existed,” says Jacques Finnell – Marketing Manager. “As a result, we’re seeing significant sales increases on what used to be low-to-mid-tier products in terms of volume. It’s definitely bringing attention to products that have been around for a long time and might have been forgotten.” The iQ Shelf Maximizer provides one other benefit—it reduces costs for retailers. Labor studies done by Campbell show that because the system eliminates the task of organizing shelves, that part of store employees’ work is eliminated, which brings down labor costs. Finnell points to some convincing numbers to illustrate the benefits of the iQ Shelf Maximizer: “This year, company tests showed a significant sales lift in condensed soups in stores where the system is implemented. For the total condensed segment, we’ve seen a 6 percent increase in sales. For Campbell’s condensed, we’ve seen a 9 percent increase, and private-label products have shown a 2 percent increase. And 64 percent of consumers have told us that the iQ Shelf Maximizer makes it easier for them to find the Campbell products they’re looking for.” The team that executed this initiative—including employees from brands, research, customer teams, retail teams, finance and the Sales Distribution Center—met the daunting challenge of getting the iQ Shelf Maximizer out to the stores. The goal was to have 7,000 units installed by the end of the fiscal 2004—they had 9,849 installed by September. Campbell has inked agreements to install the system in a total of 11,085 stores, and all installations should be complete by November. “This is one of those great company success stories and so many different people had a hand in it,” says Olscamp. “The project involves a lot of work and it’s been done on a store-by-store basis. We’ve installed the system in stores in Alaska and Hawaii—it’s everywhere. A lot of people pulled together to make this happen.”

The MSI Z170A Gaming M7 is a well-designed motherboard that is very effectively tweaked to deliver what typical enthusiast gamers desire most. From the motherboard layout and PCIe lane distribution to the UEFI options and bundled software, MSI’s focus on the board’s gaming audience is superb. Performance from the Z170A Gaming M7 is as good as you would expect from this calibre of Z170 motherboard. High-speed DDR4 support is good, as are the options for applying an overclocking preset to suit your needs (even if MSI’s OC preset approach is a little less fancy than Asus’ and Gigabyte’s tuning alternatives). Overclocking performance is solid thanks to a number of factors. The UEFI layout is easy for an overclocker to navigate, even if it is a little messy in certain areas. And the board’s stability was very good throughout testing, thanks in large to a solid BIOS implementation and good power delivery system. Voltage accuracy, however, was disappointing. We recorded a voltage drop in the region of 32mV when overclocking, which is a significant level that has the potential to cause system instability. The two load-line calibration settings didn’t seem to do much, either. It should be simple; if one asks for 1.40V in the BIOS, the board should deliver close to 1.40V, not 1.368V. MSI deploys a strong array of features on the Z170A Gaming M7. There is USB 3.1 Type-A and Type-C connectivity, a strong audio solution, and network optimisation abilities via Killer’s E2400 NIC. Overclocking and usability features in the form of onboard buttons, display LEDs, and dedicated BIOS flashback functionality add to the formula. The flexibility and potential for MSI’s deployed storage subsystem is superb. There’s support for a pair of M.2 PCIe SSDs alongside a SATA-Express device and further SATA 6Gbps drives. And that’s just one of the number of potential configurations. Let’s not forget that the aforementioned storage configuration is in addition to a pair of graphics cards and a supplementary high-bandwidth PCIe device. If you’re a fan of red and black, MSI’s design team has once again delivered an attractive solution. The decisions made for general motherboard layout are also smart and ensure that interference and thermal problems are minimised. Available for £176.99 from OverclockersUK, MSI’s Z170A Gaming M7 faces stiff competition at this price point from Asus’ Maximus VIII Hero, Gigabyte’s Z170X-Gaming 7, and ASRock’s Z170 Gaming K6+. Each of those boards has notable features, such as Asus’ superb software, Gigabyte’s Intel USB 3.1, and ASRock’s USB 3.1 front bay, however MSI’s offering does well to balance many features from each competitor into a single gaming-orientated motherboard. Discuss on our Facebook page, over HERE. Pros: - Smart design decisions for motherboard layout. - Superb PCIe lane distribution allowing for flexible storage configurations alongside high-end gaming hardware (GPUs). - Onboard buttons and debug LEDs are nice additions. - Good variety of included software which generally functions well. - MSI’s UEFI is very stable and easy to use, even if some pages are a little untidy. - A good set of included overclocking presets. Cons: - Level of voltage drop when overclocking is disappointing. - MSI Command Center software can have a negative impact on benchmark performance. KitGuru says: If you’re in the market for a high-end Z170 motherboard to partner your Core i7-6700K CPU, MSI’s well-balanced Z170A Gaming M7 will not be a disappointment.

In differential geometry, an affine connection[a].[3] metric tensor. The second motivation for affine connections comes from the notion of a covariant derivative of vector fields. Before the advent of coordinate-independent methods, it was necessary to work with vector fields by embedding their respective Euclidean vectors into an atlas. These components can be differentiated, but the derivatives do not transform in a manageable way under changes of coordinates.[citation needed] absolute differential calculus (now known as tensor calculus) by Gregorio Ricci-Curbastro and his student Tullio Levi-Civita between 1880 and the turn of the 20th century.,[5] who developed a detailed mathematical foundation for general relativity, and Élie Cartan,[6] who made the link with the geometrical ideas coming from surface theory..[c]. Let M be a smooth manifold and let Γ(TM) be the space of vector fields on M, that is, the space of smooth sections of the tangent bundle TM. Then an affine connection on M is a bilinear map such that for all f in the set of smooth functions on M, written C∞(M, R), and all vector fields X, Y on M:YX = → M Formally, the first condition means that X is parallel with respect to the pullback connection on the pullback bundle γ γ̃ in GL(M). × n matrices (which is the Lie algebra gl(n) of the Lie group GL(n) of invertible n × n matrices) satisfying two properties:) defines can be defined within Cartan's general framework.[7] In the modern approach, this is closely related to the definition of affine connections on the frame bundle. Indeed, in one formulation, a Cartan connection is an absolute parallelism of a principal bundle satisfying suitable properties. From this point of view the aff(n)-valued one-form (θ, ω) : T(FM) → aff(n) on the frame bundle (of an affine manifold) is a Cartan connection. However, Cartan's original approach was different from this in a number of ways:,[e]: These last two points are quite hard to make precise,[9][f] and the ei form a basis of Tp(Ax). The affine connection is then given symbolically by a first order differential system defined by a collection of one-forms (θ j, ω j i).′(t) to γ at x = γ(t) (which is the infinitesimal displacement of x). Since,) and i, ω k j)1 ≤ i, j, k ≤ n: Thus the forms (ω j i)′ ∗ FA → FA → A is a principal Aff(n)-bundle over A, and the forms (θ i, ω k j) pull back to give a flat principal Aff(n)-connection on this bundle. i, ω k j). Let M be a manifold, and P a principal GL(n)-bundle over M. Then an affine connection is a 1-form η on P with values in aff(n) satisfying the following properties). Conditions 1 and 2 are equivalent to ω being a principal GL(n)-connection and θ being a horizontal equivariant 1-form, which induces a bundle homomorphism from TM to the associated bundle P ×GL(n) Rn. Note that [X, Y] is the Lie bracket of vector fields in Einstein notation. This is independent of coordinate system choice and the tangent vector at point p of the ith coordinate curve. The ∂i are a natural basis for the tangent space at point p, and the X i the corresponding coordinates for the vector field X = X i ∂i. When both curvature and torsion vanish, the connection defines a pre-Lie algebra structure on the space of global sections of the tangent bundle. If (M, g) is a Riemannian manifold then there is a unique affine connection ∇ on M with the following two properties: This connection is called the Levi-Civita connection. The term "symmetric" is often used instead of torsion-free for the first property. The second condition means that the connection is a metric connection in the sense that the Riemannian metric g is parallel: ∇g = 0. For a torsion-free connection, the condition is equivalent to the identity X g(Y, Z) = g(∇XY, Z) + g(Y, ∇X Z), "compatibility with the metric".[11] In local coordinates the components of the form are called Christoffel symbols: because of the uniqueness of the Levi-Civita connection, there is a formula for these components in terms of the components of g. γ̇ is parallel transported along γ, that is where τs t : γ̇(0) = Xics0 t :.[12]. Let ⟨ , ⟩ be the usual scalar product on R3, and let S2 be the unit sphere. The tangent space to S2 at a point x is naturally identified with the vector subspace of R3 consisting of all vectors orthogonal to x. It follows that a vector field Y on S2 can be seen as a map Y : S2 → R3 which satisfies Denote as dY the differential (Jacobian matrix) of such a map. Then we have:

A cermet is a composite material composed of ceramic (cer) and metal (met) materials. A cermet can combine attractive properties of both a ceramic, such as high temperature resistance and hardness, and those of a metal, such as the ability to undergo plastic deformation. The metal is used as a binder for an oxide, boride, or carbide. temperature. Cermets are. Composites of MAX phases, an emerging class of ternary carbides or nitrides with aluminium or titanium alloys have been studied since 2006 as high-value materials exhibiting favourable properties of ceramics in terms of hardness and compressive strength alongside ductility and fracture toughness typically associated with metals. Such cermet materials, including aluminium-MAX phase composites,[1] have potential applications in automotive and aerospace applications.[2] °C.[4] Ohio State University was the first to develop Al2O3 based cermets with high stress rupture strengths around 1200 °C. Kennametal, a metal-working and tool company based in Latrobe, PA, USA, developed the first titanium carbide cermet with a 19 megapascals (2,800 psi) and 100-hour stress-to-rupture strength at 980 °. 1.

Final Firing of Cermet 7. Checking electrical resistance 8. Final Assembly...[7] Dental cermets are also used in dentistry as a material for fillings and prostheses. Ceramic parts have been used in conjunction with metal parts as friction materials for brakes and clutches..[8] Similar composites have also been researched for use as a fuel form for nuclear reactors [9] and nuclear thermal rockets.[citation needed] As nanostructured cermet, this material is used in the optical field, such as solar absorbers/selective surface. Thanks to the size of the particles (~5 nm), surface plasmons on the metallic particles are generated and enable the heat transmission. For reasons regarding luxury, cermet is sometimes found to be case materials for some watches, including Jaeger-LeCoultre's Deep Sea Chronograph Vintage Cermet watch. It was also used (November 2019) on the bezel of the flagship diver Seiko Prospex LX Line Limited Edition watch.

Effort underway to save San Francisco's oldest gay bar, "The Gangway" SAN FRANCISCO (BCN) - San Francisco's oldest gay bar may be saved and relocated using a model that kept another gay bar in the city from closing last year, a supervisor's office said. The Gangway, a sailor-themed club located at 841 Larkin St. in the city's Tenderloin District, has to relocate because the new owner wants to open a straight bar in the space. Efforts last year saved the gay bar The Stud from closing. The Gangway opened in 1910 and police raided it a year later. During prohibition the bar was converted into a restaurant and a speakeasy was set up in the basement. The Gangway has operated as an openly gay bar for the last 56 years since it came out of the closet in 1961. "San Francisco is at risk of losing what makes us special," Supervisor Jane Kim said in a statement. The Gangway is located in Kim's district. In 2016, Kim worked to save The Stud, a 53-year-old queer performance venue by helping turn it into a collectively owned and operated nightclub. Kim's office said saving The Gangway has been challenging. Jung Lee purchased the bar with his wife in the 1990s and the couple ran the bar for 19 years until Lee's wife died in 2015. Lee put the bar up for sale shortly after his wife's death and the city's Office of Economic and Workforce Development stepped in to help Lee find a LGBTQ buyer and preserve important elements of the club. But the effort didn't work. Now Kim's office and workforce development officials are working with LGBTQ preservationists to preserve The Gangway's business name and important physical ephemera. Nate Allbee, who founded The Stud Collective, has agreed to help set up and operate a collectively owned Gangway bar, which supporters hope to relocate in another location in the Tenderloin District. "This bar has survived decades of anti-gay bigotry, police raids and the HIV/AIDS crisis," Allbee said in a statement. "We can't just walk away from a business as important as The Gangway - this history is also vital to our future." The new owner Sam Young has offered to gift the business name and physical ephemera to preservationists. Young is also donating all of The Gangway's assets, including the boat above the door, to the future collective. The bar's sign will stay though because it's owned by the landlord and not Young. Allbee said supporters are now looking for contractors who can help dismantle the interior and exterior, storage space, a new location for the bar and investors. Young is already paying rent so preservationists want to find a new home quickly, Allbee said. Allbee said for the collective to be successful, a lot of people are needed. Eighteen people came together to save The Stud. An investment will not mean a lot of money, Allbee said. It's for people who are interested in preserving an important place. Advertisement Members of the LGBTQ community who want to invest in The Gangway Collective and anyone willing to help save it should email Allbee at nate@queercollectives.com.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — People who had pre-registered for a vaccine appointment on Wednesday say they woke up with an unexpected change on Thursday morning. Instead of keeping to a scheduled date and time, Austin Public Health instructed people to show up during a five-hour window. It said in the notification the reason was because of increased demand. An APH spokesperson later clarified that there was a scheduling error with the program that overscheduled one time slot and so it decided to encourage people to come when they are available to minimize wait times for everyone. It estimated people with appointments could expect lines of 30 minutes to an hour. “Your vaccine is guaranteed. We have only issued appointments to as many people as we have doses of vaccine. Our goal is to spread people out as efficiently as possible [Thursday] to shorten wait times and ensure social distancing can be maintained,” the notification about the vaccine schedule change at the Delco Center said. APH also noted appointments for its two Thursday locations filled up and said those without them will be turned away. The large distribution centers in the area are meant to distribute the 12,000 doses Austin and Travis County received this week, which is not enough to cover all those in Phase 1A and 1B who still need to be vaccinated. People with a COVID-19 vaccine appointment line up at one of the clinics in Austin just before noon Jan. 14, 2020 (KXAN Photo/Todd Bynum) People with a COVID-19 vaccine appointment line up at one of the clinics in Austin just before noon Jan. 14, 2020 (KXAN Photo/Todd Bynum) A long line stretches outside one of the Travis County COVID-19 vaccine clinics just before 10 a.m. Jan. 14, 2020 (KXAN Viewer Photo) People wrote in to KXAN, saying they were worried the schedule change could cause a flood of vaccine recipients to a location all at once instead of strategically separating the appointment times, thereby minimizing traffic flow and enabling proper social distancing in line. “Can you imagine the horde of people that will be there before 2 p.m.? What could have been an orderly and safe process will now be a chaotic mess. What excuse can they make? They are not protecting the public health,” one KXAN viewer wrote. Viewers say a line was already forming at the Delco location around 9 a.m. A video from a vaccine recipient at a different location showed a line that stretched around the building. Later in the day, multiple lines formed at the sites. Meanwhile, APH sent out a news release Thursday afternoon about it’s “successful” pilot distribution program. It said so far it’s distributed 3,996 total doses as of Wednesday night and plans to distribute the rest this week. It said the first three days of the distribution have been “closed clinics serving Phase 1A and 1B patients from community partners that serve uninsured or underinsured populations, including CommUnityCare, Lone Star Circle of Care, and the People’s Community Clinic. This has helped to ensure that those who are most vulnerable to complications and death from COVID-19, as well as those who would not be able to get a vaccine from the more than 350 other providers in Austin-Travis County, are able to get vaccinated.” “Based on operations this week, APH will make improvements if needed and will be prepared to distribute future allocations,” it wrote. APH said 2,480 vaccines were distributed on Monday and Tuesday, while 1,506 were given out Wednesday. APH is not accepting walk-ups at any of the vaccine clinics. People must pre-register online to allow APH to qualify individuals and schedule an appointment. “Pre-registration does not guarantee a vaccine immediately,” APH said. Earlier this week, APH said it had vaccinated people who were not in the Phase 1A or 1B priority list out of “common courtesy,” because they had waited in line. On Thursday morning, alternate health authority Dr. Jason Pickett said that would not happen again. In a release Thursday afternoon, APH called it a miscommunication and walk-ups would be turned away moving forward.

PROGRAMME PURPOSE The accelerated Sustainable development can be achieved through effective integrated planning, local economic development and implementation of schemes and provision of basic services. The purpose of this programme is to promote informed integrated planning and development in the province. This Programme consists of the following sub-programmes, namely Spatial Planning, Development Information Services, Land Use Management, Local Economic Development, Municipal Infrastructure, Disaster Management and IDP Coordination. SUB-PROGRAMME: 3.1. SPATIAL PLANNING Progress Analysis: Spatial mapping of the projects is critical in effective integrated planning and sustainable development. The Department ensured that all 61 municipalities in the province were supported were supported in respect of their Spatial Development Frameworks (SDFs) aligned with Provincial Spatial Guidelines. The level of support offered differed from municipality to municipality due to different circumstances in municipalities and also because some municipalities developed their SDFs using appointed consultants whilst others used in-house capacity. Support offered therefore ranged from the development of Terms of Reference for the appointment of consultants, evaluation of bids submitted, management of consultants, and technical support on the development of Spatial Development Frameworks. All Spatial Development Frameworks for the 61 municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal (submitted as part of the adopted IDPs) were assessed. A report was then produced in respect of SDF compliance including alignment of the SDF with the Provincial Growth and Development Strategy (PGDS). About 5 municipalities were monitored on the implementation of the Provincial Densification Framework and monitored the increase in the population density within designated development areas to facilitate the achievement of 4.12 households per hectare. In addition, municipalities were supported towards the development, review and implementation of Scheme towards achievement of wall-to-wall scheme coverage across the province. A report on the coverage of Schemes and Systems was prepared indicating progress in line with provincial and national legislative requirements for wall-to-wall Schemes, and the area within the province that is covered by Schemes and Systems. Further 6 municipalities were supported to develop a suite of plans and an analysis was made of the extent to which these plans have transformed municipalities and resulted in Spatial Equity. Analysis of constraints and measures planned to overcome them Varying levels of support were provided to municipalities identified in accordance with available resources. Constraints identified included internal staff vacancies and limited funding, as well as high municipal staff turn-over and leading to low capacity. Measures planned to overcome this include motivation to appoint additional internal planning capacity, assisting municipalities utilising internal skills, and applying departmental professional resources to municipal planning projects in collaboration with municipal planners. Structured support will be looked at to rationalise available resources. SUB-PROGRAMME: 3.2 DEVELOPMENT INFORMATION SERVICES Progress Analysis: The Department continued to provide support to Local Government Institutions for effective integrated planning through implementing GIS programmes. In support of the Municipal Property Rate Act (MPRA) implementation, the Municipal Property Rates System was introduced to ensure that 45 Local Municipalities get access to their property rates information, namely; cadastral, ownership and valuation related information. This obviates the need for financially constrained municipal entities to have to pay for access to this critical information. The MPRA Value-Add programme has been implemented in 12 local municipalities in the 2015/16 financial year. District Municipality Web Pages were developed to ensure that municipalities get access to the current infrastructure related information online. Cooperation with the relevant municipalities ensures that the currency and integrity of the information thereon is maintained. Web based mobile GIS apps were developed to support the various functions of KZN CoGTA and the Province. This technology is rapidly becoming the preferred method to capture spatially referenced field data. Technical GIS support was provided to the municipalities through the Development Planning Shared Services (DPSS) (Now District Shared Services) structures and the participation in the forum was extended to the local municipalities that are outside the DPSS fold. GIS mapping support and customized GIS applications continue to be provided in support of the Departmental initiatives (i.e. Disaster Management). Ongoing GIS support is being rendered in terms of the municipal outer and inner boundary demarcation processes which are critical for the imminent Local Municipality elections. Analysis of constraints and measures planned to overcome them DIS is rationalizing the placement of the limited staff resources that it has at its disposal in the face of the moratorium on staff recruitment as well as the challenges that are arising from the OSD staff recruitment requirements. The GIS support provided by some of the DPSS municipalities to their respective Local Municipality’s has been less than ideal due to a number of reasons including insufficient HR capacity. In order to ensure that the Local Municipality’s do get some form of GIS support, the DPSS-GIS forum has been extended to include the Local Municipality’s that are willing to participate. SUB-PROGRAMME: 3.2. LAND USE MANAGEMENT Progress Analysis: The process of supporting municipalities on accelerating service delivery is very central to the Department. Municipalities were monitored against time norms and standards for development applications in terms of the planning legislation. The Assessment Template was reviewed based on previous assessment outcomes in order to achieve the Annual Performance Plan Targets. In addition, all 51 municipalities were supported in order to facilitate the roll-out of the Spatial Planning Land Use Management Act, 2013 (SPLUMA) in collaboration with the other stakeholders and 12 municipalities were supported with the land use management formalisation of towns project which entails the determination of outside figures, signing of Memorandum of understanding, finalisation of land rights audit and land right enquiries. The Department further monitored the Provincial Human Development Index (HDI) against the 0.58 target set in the PGDP, attended 100% of survey and boundary requests received. Analysis of constraints and measures planned to overcome them In order to successfully monitor municipalities in terms of development application time norms, applications must be submitted to province to ensure this assessment can transpire. Although municipalities are contacted on a regular basis to provide this information, municipalities are not always forthcoming with the statistical information on developments applications. Furthermore, to address this close interaction and regular visits to municipalities will be required to ensure this monitoring can take place and feedback regarding issues of concern can be discussed in order to achieve the annual target. With the adoption of municipal by-laws in line with the implementation of SPLUMA, each municipality can now have their own time norms with regard to the processing of development applications which will make monitoring these norms challenging. To address this, municipalities will be guided and encouraged not to deviate from the time norms set in the previous legislation. SUB-PROGRAMME: 3.3. LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Progress analysis The Department implemented programmes and initiatives that became the catalysts for further development and created job opportunities. The Local Economic Development Unit is responsible for providing capacity support to municipalities in the implementation of local economic development programmes and initiatives for the creation of job opportunities and economic growth. The main objective of the programmes supported is community economic upliftment. The unit is made up of three sub directorates being Special Initiatives, Community Service Centres and EPWP support. During the year under review, the Department successfully implemented the corridor development programme with a special focus on the N3 Corridor plan and its key nodes including identifying new nodes along the corridor. Under the small town rehabilitation programme continued support was provided to small town and rural nodes to the following areas: Kranskop, Mpofana, Weenen, Phongolo, Harding, Mtubatuba, Mkhuze and Ndumo. The amaKhosi Rural Economic Development Programme implementation in UThukela and Msinga resulted in the creation of more than 70 opportunities in the agricultural sector in the projects owned and championed by amaKhosi focusing on fresh produce and maize. The amaKhosi programme was further expanded to three additional districts focusing on niche products such as fish farming, vineyards and fruit farming. Under the social cohesion initiatives aimed at uplifting rural economies, the Department successfully hosted the annual Mandela Marathon with over 13 000 participants and the annual festival of beads competition with over 5000 participants. The programmes are all implemented in line with the KZN Poverty Eradication Master plan, given the call for radical economic transformation and the industrialization of rural areas. In order to improve LED Capacity in municipalities as well as enhancing impact of projects, the Department was mandated to support municipalities in establishing District Economic Development Agencies. The Department supported the recruitment of board of directors for the new Agencies established under UThukela, Amajuba, UMgungundlovu, Ugu and Zululand District while operational support was provided to ILembe, Harry Gwala and UMkhanyakude Development agencies. Further support was provided in the development of standard policies and guidelines for good governance practices in all agencies and rolling out of the school nutrition programme through the Agency programme in partnership with the Department of Education. The Community Service Centres (CSC) programme aims to strengthen the capacity of the Traditional Institutions to be able to play a critical role in accelerating service delivery in partnership with the municipalities and sector departments. The CSC programme successfully completed construction of 4 grade 2 community service centres and one grade 1 CSC in Emondlo. Furthermore, 4 new CSCs are at construction stage in Bulwer, Muden, KwaMbonambi and Bulwer. Planning and design work for Nquthu and Maphumulo is underway for implementation in the 2016/17 Financial Year. 24 CSCs were successfully refurbished while 23 CSC had alternative energy installed. Under the Expanded Public Works (EPWP) programme, over 300 rural women and youth were registered for EPWP under the KZN COGTA incentive grant in the social sector while an additional 100 people were employed to maintain community projects under amakhosi. Overall under the EPWP programme, over 1500 jobs were created in the KZN COGTA grant funded construction projects. The Community Works (CWP) programme received a major boost with an additional 5000 work opportunities allocated to 8 new sites in the province. The KZN province now boasts of a total of 38 municipalities benefitting from the CWP programme. Analysis of constraints and measures planned to overcome them Municipalities have limited LED capacity as well as project management skills to effectively monitor implementation of projects. Most municipalities have weak LED units and require support. Ongoing training is provided to municipalities leading to accreditation at NQF level 5. 30 LED officials from various municipalities benefitted from LED accredited training through the University of Johannesburg centre for LED, while all municipalities were trained in red tape reduction, project packaging and LED strategy development. The CWP drop out and lower than target participation rate remain a challenge, which can only be overcome through continued marketing and communication of the benefits of the programme. The Unit will closely monitor sites participation rate and mobilize communities to take part in the programme. Challenges still exist in relation to EPWP reporting and expenditure especially of the incentive grants. Training and workshops will continue to be rolled out to capacitate municipalities on the principles of EPWP in line with the Phase 3 implementation strategy. SUB-PROGRAMME: 3.4. MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE Progress Analysis The service delivery environment remains characterised by an inadequate provision for operation and maintenance of infrastructure, general long term planning, and shortage of funding as well as skilled personnel. Initiatives and programmes are focused on infrastructure investment planning, co-ordination of infrastructure delivery with the various support institutions and service authorities, project planning and management of implementation, financial support (provision of grants as well as financial management), implementation of planned and preventative maintenance programmes, and “basic” service delivery under the Back to Basics programme. The Department assessed 60 municipalities against service delivery benchmarks, supported 38 municipalities with service delivery programmes and 31 municipalities on the implementations of indigent policies. In addition, 13 municipalities were supported in yard water connections, basic level of sanitation services and 10 municipalities in increasing households with a source of electricity supply. Water and Energy fora were established as permanent institutions, meeting regularly for co-ordination and support purposes. Universal Access Plans were completed for water services in all districts. Operation and Maintenance plans are being completed in 6 districts and this programme continues in 2016 / 2017. A programme for the installation of “package-type” water purification plants in priority areas was completed. Although there was a slight but disappointing decrease in expenditure (fund utilization) on MIG in the 2014 / 2015 financial year, utilization of available capital funding remains good. There is a focus on increasing levels of service, particularly water, with monitoring and support instituted in respect of the quantity of water supplied per capita per day and in increasing the number of households with water supply in the yard. The Back to Basics programme has, inter alia, focused service authorities on fundamental service delivery matters – water loss and immediate attention to leaks, immediate attention to sewer spillages, roads maintenance and pothole repair, electricity theft, refuse removal and the management of solid waste disposal. Analysis of constraints and measures planned to overcome them. The challenges relating to service delivery have been adequately summarized above. The Business Unit’s programmes tabulated below accordingly focus on co-ordination, accelerating service delivery through improved programme and project management, increasing service levels, infrastructure maintenance and monitoring of service delivery. Efforts must continue to secure an Operation and Maintenance conditional grant for municipalities, funded from the National fiscals and allocated in terms of the Division of Revenue Act. The anomaly of funding Operation and Maintenance from municipal revenue (inclusive of Equitable Share) while also requiring municipalities to provide Free Basic Services needs to be removed by the introduction of a Conditional Grant for Operation and Maintenance. The Department has continued to lobby in this regard. Review of National fund allocation policies for infrastructure capital development must be precipitated. Needs-based allocations (as opposed to formula-based allocations) to municipalities with sufficient management capacity, needs to be pursued. SUB-PROGRAMME: 3.5. DISASTER MANAGEMENT Progress Analysis: The Department made serious efforts to address the strategic goal of responding to Climate Change as articulated in the Provincial Growth and Development Plan (PGDP) with the objective of managing pressures of biodiversity. The Provincial Disaster Management Plan was reviewed through various consultations with stakeholders as part of ensuring that all relevant inputs are incorporated into the plan. The refurbishment of the Provincial Disaster Management Centre (PDMC) is underway; occupation is anticipated in the 2016/17 financial year. PDMC continues to roll out the Capacity Building Programme to municipalities, to date at least 45 Fire Fighters were trained on Fire Fighting Level 1 & 2, and they have been deployed to various municipalities in their Fire & Rescue Services. 90 Municipal Disaster Management officials were trained on Disaster Risk Management as well as Fire and Rescue Skills Development through funding sourced from LGSETA, with this training the municipal capacity shall be augmented. The Department continues to support municipalities with the development of the Climate Change mitigation and adaptation plans. The PDMC has been responsible for supporting municipalities in lobbying financial support from the National Departments, for responding to the drought situation that the Province of KwaZulu-Natal is facing in order to normalise the lives of fellow citizens. Analysis of constraints and measures planned to overcome them There has been a delay with the finalisation of the Provincial Disaster Management Centre (PDMC) construction, the PDMC continues to engage the Implementing Agent to discuss the implications of this delay and further obtain the final date when the project is anticipated to be concluded. The Provincial cost containment strategy has had an impact in the process of establishing the Provincial Fire and Rescue Service Unit within the PDMC as a National Imperative, as it indicates that no restructuring should be done by departments. The lack of proper institutional arrangement at a municipal level to deal with disaster management as well as fire and rescue services continues to be a challenge; hence the PDMC opted to secure funding for training which was undertaken throughout the 2015/16 financial year. The Province of KwaZulu-Natal has been declared as the Drought Disaster Area due to water shortages emanating from the drying up of water resources (dams, rivers etc.). The PDMC, together with the National Disaster Management Centre (NDMC) and other Sector Departments, is working tirelessly to deal with the scourge of this drought situation.

USC scrimmage is another showcase for freshmen USC. Ambles had a scrimmage-best five receptions for 83 yards and scored on a 15-yard touchdown pass from Mitch Mustain. At 6 feet 2, the Georgia native is wearing No. 8, which was worn by former All-American Dwayne Jarrett. “He’s kind of a shorter version of Dwayne as far as making those plays,” Kiffin said. Robey is challenging to start at cornerback and showed Saturday he could also return punts. Kiffin said it was “too hard to tell” who was ahead in the competition to start at cornerback opposite Shareece Wright, but redshirt freshman Torin Harris delivered one of the biggest hits of the day when he tackled freshman running back Dillon Baxter. Better performance The rushing attack improved from the week before, senior tailback Allen Bradford gaining 62 yards in nine carries and junior Marc Tyler going for 76 yards and a touchdown in 11 carries. Last week, Bradford netted minus-five yards in six carries. “I was being more patient today and not always looking for big plays,” he said. “I was following my blocks.” Mustain watch Mustain had another strong performance, completing 12 of 19 passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns against the reserves. “He feels very comfortable in the system and we feel very comfortable with him,” Kiffin said. Mustain has worked only against reserves during scrimmages. “If it comes, I’ll be excited about it,” Mustain said of getting a chance to go against the starters. Starter Matt Barkley was nine for 13 for 116 yards and a touchdown. Middle ground Sophomore Devon Kennard played middle linebacker for the first-unit defense and made four tackles. “I felt like I recognized formations better than I did a month ago or in the spring,” he said. “That’s the biggest thing for me. Kennard is challenging junior Chris Galippo for the starting spot. Galippo had three tackles. No debate Kiffin said sophomore Matt Kalil is the starting left tackle. The 6-7, 295-pound Kalil, brother of former Trojans center Ryan Kalil, played Saturday after sitting out the first scrimmage because of a hamstring strain. “I think he’s going to play football a long time,” Kiffin said. Quick hits Senior Joe Houston appears on his way to winning the placekicker job. After struggling in last week’s scrimmage, Houston kicked field goals of 32 and 43 yards and made all three extra-point attempts. . . . Baxter, suspended for the Sept. 2 opener against Hawaii, rushed for 33 yards and a touchdown in seven carries. He also caught three passes, including an 11-yard touchdown from Barkley. Gable gained 31 yards in seven carries. . . . Senior receiver David Ausberry caught an eight-yard touchdown pass from Mustain, giving Ausberry three touchdowns in two scrimmages. . . . Walk-on cornerback Spencer Spiegel suffered a concussion. . . . Kiffin said 14 scholarship players did not play because of injuries. gary.klein@latimes.com

Last updated on May 19th, 2020 at 11:16 am its vantage point. With well paved trails and history, too, it’s almost a shame not to hike this trail! Contents Devil’s Peak Summary: - Difficulty: 1.5/5 - Time Taken: 2-3 hours - Pros: easy hike with good views, as well as seeing an abandoned fortress - Cons: none in particular, but the trail start is not the easiest to reach Getting to the start of Devil’s Peak From Yau Tong MTR, take A2 exit and go down the stairs and continue down the road. At the turn of the road, take the crossing instead and continue left towards the big skywalk and pass it. This will take you Go right across from the purple building up the winding road (aka don’t cross the road), which goes up for about 10 minutes passing two The trail start is marked by a sign on this side of the road, and you’ll have to cross and go up the stairs to reach the start of Wilson Trail Stage 3 aka Devils Peak. Going up to Gough Battery The trail is well paved and gently slope its way up. The yellow marker with a hiking man for Wilson Trail can be found along the way in addition to signpost pointing out distance and destinations. For Gough Battery, follow the sign to Devil’s Peak Fortification up the path. The fortifications here are known as the lower Gough Battery, was put in place to monitor the Lei Yue Mun Channel – the eastern exit of Victoria Harbour – when New Territories was leased to British in 1898. The roudout and fortress are all built in early 20th century, and was a major line of defence against the Japanese in WWII. It is unclear when the fortification became abandoned, though it is likely to fall into neglect after WWII was over. The redoubt (a military fortification) are partially covered by vegetation, but the round shape can still be observed. Once you’ve visited the battery, exit via the same road and continue up. Devil’s Peak Before you reach the Devil’s Peak, first you’ll need to go up a flight of stairs. The stairs itself isn’t so hard, but I mentioned it because there is a perfect little rock about midway up that makes for the perfect The Devil’s Peak stands at 222m above sea level, and the remnants of the fortifications can still be seen. There’s a good view of both Victoria Harbour and the Junk Bay behind, and a good photo spot is across from the pillar that marks the peak. Once you finished admiring the view, head across the fortification and seek out this little ladder that would take you to a muddy path down From here, you can choose to end the hike and follow the direction to get down to Yau Tong, which should end at the purple building that we passed on the way up. Alternatively, carry on the Wilson Trail Stage 3. This part of the path is still paved and flat, passing through a few metal gates. Wilson Trail Stage 3 Black Hill To continue the trail, turn road and cross the road until you reach the The incline of the stairs increases in this part of the hike. The stairs leads up to a hillside path that gives a panoramic view of Kwong Tin Estate and beyond. Carry on the hike up to Black Hill, which looks worse than it actually is. The top, though offers a view of both New Kowloon side and Tsuen Kwung O, is mostly blocked by trees. The path that undulates up and down a bit, pass the Black Hill Triangulation Tower. Look out for a small path to the right after as it offers a good view of the housing developments at Tsuen Kwung O. The trail ends at Ma Yau Tong Village, take a right there and keep going to get out. It takes around 5-10 minutes to get out of the village, but the yellow sign for Wilson trail should be easily found to the right. Getting back out Once you reach the main road, turn left to the bus station. Here, there are plenty of buses that head out to Mong Kong and other destinations alike, and we took 93K to reach Kwan Tong to change bus (or to MTR). The journey only takes about 10 minutes and the buses are pretty frequent.
