Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum has a fine collection of Ute items, including clothing, cradleboards, and baskets. Apache Tribe Another early native tribe that resided in Colorado was the Apache tribe, a number of the Apache tribes extended their raids over the Colorado territory but only one of the Apache tribes named the Jicarilla is said to have been permanent occupants of Colorado. The word “Jicarilla” is a Spanish word that means “little basket,” and was given to the tribe because the Jicarilla Apache women were skilled basket makers. The Jicarilla were a part of the Apache tribes and belonged to the great linguistic stock and constituted a distinct group of Apache. The homes of the Jicarilla tribe have been in southeastern Colorado and northern New Mexico, though they have also resided in parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Many historians believe that the Jicarilla traveled southward and intermingled with the Athapascan tribes in northwestern Canada because of the eastern flanks of the Rocky Mountains. Historians also believe that the Jicarilla tribe were among the people who were met by Coronado in 1540-42, the same people known to later Spanish explorers as Vaqueros. The Jicarilla tribe called themselves Vaqueros early in the 18th century. Even though many think of the Spanish and indigenous relations as peaceful, however, the Jicarilla relations with the Spaniards were generally hostile. In 1872 and 1873 attempts were made to move the Jicarilla tribe to Fort Stanton, but most of them were permitted to go to the Tierra Amarilla, on a reservation that expanded 900 square miles, which was set aside for the tribe in 1874. In 1878 the tribe’s annuities were suspended because they refused to move southward and did not comply with the Act of 1878, which Congress implemented that year. In 1880 the Act of 1878 was repealed, and a new reservation was set aside on the Navajo River, to which they were relocated. Here the Jicarilla tribe remained until 1883, when they were transferred again to Fort Stanton. However, on February 11, 1887, a reservation was set aside for the Jicarilla tribe in the Tierra Amarilla region by Executive Order.

These parts are “contaminated,” even if there is no visible soil or material on them: the outside of the gloves the outside front and sleeves of a gown the outside front of goggles or face shield, and the outside of your mask are considered contaminated Areas that are considered “clean” are: the inside of the gloves, the inside and back of the gown including the ties, and the ties, elastic, or ear pieces of the mask, and the elastic or ear pieces of your goggles or face shield. Touch the clean parts when you are doffing PPE. Note: More information about your respirator later. Limit Self-Contamination Your MoH or SOPs may direct the order to remove PPE. If so, follow them! Usually, you remove the dirtiest item first: The gloves are considered the most contaminated pieces of PPE. The face shield or goggles are next. They are cumbersome and may interfere with removal of other PPE. The gown is next. The mask or respirator is last. Limit Self-Contamination! These are not hard and fast rules to follow! Think about your risk. For example, if you are splashed on your apron, you might wipe that down with 10% bleach solution then remove that first. Some facilities have healthcare workers remove their gloves, wash their hands and put on new gloves before removing the rest of their PPE. Doff Gloves How to Doff Gloves

The intensity of rivalry among existing competitors The threat of new entrants The threat of substitute goods or services The bargaining power of buyers The bargaining power of suppliers Consider how the rise of the Internet has impacted the five forces for music retailers. Traditional music retailers scrambled to invest in selling music online out of what is perceived to be a necessity. Their intensity of rivalry increases because they not only compete based on the geography of where brick-and-mortar stores are physically located, they now compete online as well. Investments online are expensive and uncertain, prompting some firms to partner with new entrants such as Amazon. The process of buying a plastic disc now faces substitutes as digital music files become available on commercial music sites. Various choices that are available gives consumers (buyers) bargaining power. They demand cheaper prices and greater convenience. The bargaining power of suppliers, the music labels and artists, also increases. The changes that impact one industry do not necessarily impact other industries in the same way. It is often suggested that the Internet increases bargaining power of buyers and lowers the bargaining power of suppliers. This suggestion is true only for some industries like auto sales and jewelry where the products are commodities and the price transparency of the Internet matters. But it’s not true across the board. In cases where network effects are strong or a seller’s goods are highly differentiated, the Internet can strengthen supplier bargaining power. Switching costs also weaken buyer bargaining power. Switching costs help cement customers to the company even when rivals offer more compelling rates or services. Tech plays a significant role in shaping and reshaping these five forces, but it’s not the only significant force that can create an industry shock. Government deregulation or intervention, political shock, and social and demographic changes can all play a role in altering the competitive landscape.

Closely linked to this are inadequate trade support infrastructures. Ministries of Trade/Commerce which have the statutory responsibility for trade issues lack the requisite skills to effectively implement policies. Lack of subject matter specialists in Trade and its allied domains have been observed in all the Member States. Apart from a Customs staff training college in Ghana and Nigeria, there is no other such skill training centre in the zone. Apart from WTO assisted periodic trade policy reviews, Member States do not conduct country trade policy and institutional assessment to gauge policy environment required for good trade governance and effective trade facilitation. The level of awareness of the ETLS among the business community in some of the Member States is low. Simplified and reader friendly ICT materials are not available in any of the Member States.

Remember, you can always confirm a payment or check a balance as referenced above in How do I check my available balance? Can I use my ClinCard at a restaurant? Yes. However, please note that restaurants (including fast food establishments) automatically preauthorize your card for 20% over the total bill, so ensure that you have enough available on your card to account for this. Can I use my ClinCard at a gas station? Yes. However, please take your ClinCard inside to the cashier and ask them to run the card for a specific amount. Otherwise, if you use the card at the pump, the gas station will preauthorize your card for up to $75 or more. While the preauthorization is not a charge made to the account, as long as it is in place, it factors into the calculation of the available balance. It can then take several days for the preauthorization amount to be removed.

He has a deep appreciation of the rugged beauty of nature and finds both relief and inspirations in the mountains and lakes of Switzerland He feels deeply. When he is happy he is intensely, extra-humanly happy. When he grieves, his is an intense, extra-human grief He has an aspiration considerably beyond the scope of normal human aspiration – striving actually to be Godlike He ultimately fails in this quest, but dies a “sadder but wiser” man How does Victor depart from the typical tragic hero? He departs from the form of the typical Romantic Hero in that he discourages other extra-human endeavors, encouraging Walton to return home to a “normal” life and avoid disillusionment and ruin.

Ways to beat procrastination Face up to the results of procrastination: what will happen if you procrastinate? How will you feel if you fail the test? How miserable will you be over the weekend if you have to write a last-minute paper while everyone else is at the game? Concentrate on the rewards of managing yourself and your time: Think about the rewards you will get when you finish a big task; going to the game, hanging out with your friends, feeling good when you tell your parents. Break up big tasks into smaller ones: If you have to write a paper, can you work on one segment tonight and another one tomorrow? If you start early and finish a small segment each day, a big paper is just a series of small tasks. Give yourself a time limit to accomplish a task: Work will expand to take up as much time as we allow it to. Push yourself to work faster and more efficiently. Set a regular time for study and do not vary from it: Determine your personal best time and best place. Start studying with positive, realistic thoughts: Push negative thoughts out of your mind. Tell yourself that you are growing and becoming more competent. Establish study habits: Refer to the appropriate pages later in this packet. Face fear: Make up your mind that you are going to overcome fear by studying and preparing every day. Get help from parents/teachers: Show your teacher what you’ve done so far and ask if you are on the right track. Avoid whining and people who whine: You have this job to do and it’s not going away – just do it! Reward yourself when you’ve accomplished an important task: You’ve accomplished a goal or task so you deserve a reward; talk to some friends, watch a TV show, check Facebook.

Paul the Man: Is it ever bad to be over zealous? Each week we’ll also do a little character study of Paul. It should be fun and illuminating and always open to discussion and disagreement! Looking at some of Paul’s own words and hearing of his bold witness before the secular/religious powers of his day, did Paul overdo it sometimes? (Acts 26:32). Can you think of times in his life where that may have been the case? Have you ever done the same thing? (You’re brave if you say you have!) Paul’s determined and at times ‘obsessive’ (Acts 26:11) character was his strength and also weakness. It went against God’s will when he was a Pharisee, how might it have been of benefit when he became a follower of Jesus? What does this say about God’s grace and how God uses our own personal temperament? Extra Question if you have time – Paul faced the High Priests of his time. Who are the High Priests in our day, those that govern what is right to say and do in public? Imagine if Paul was alive today and he shared an elevator with Richard Dawkins. What would he likely say in 10 seconds? What would you say? Take some time to reflect and pray over what we’ve heard and discussed. Pray for guidance over how we can share our own testimonies at the right place and time. You may also want to pray about discerning your own ‘mission’ and what that might look like.

Leisure Events Meeting Points Swiss Attractions Program Excursions Easter Geneva Railway Station Matterhorn Bern Various concerts Nyon Railway Station Skiing, hiking, sledding, etc. Morocco (Casablanca, Rabat, and Fez) Montreux Jazz Festival Fisherman’s Pub CERN WHO, UN, MSF, UNAIDS, etc. Shopping In America, we have Walmart. In Switzerland, they have Migros. While it seems impossible, Migros really does have everything you can think of it. They sell groceries, sporting goods, offer foreign language courses, have restaurants, and even have a gym membership option. And when Migros isn’t an option, their competition, Coop, is. However, be warned that operating hours are very different in Switzerland. Grocery stores (and many stores in general) are not open on Sundays at all. Switzerland offers some of the most expensive shopping in the world. Skip the name brand stores and try to seek out as many farmer’s markets as possible. Also, save about $100 to bring to Morocco for the cheapest shopping you’ve ever seen. The conversion factor is 10 to 1, so I literally bought post cards for 1 cent and leather sandals for $7. Overall Impact Do’s and Don’ts Do make sure you fully understand the conditions and logistics of trains and planes you take outside of Switzerland. Don’t forget to tell your host parents and your real parents where you’re going if you won’t be home for dinner. Do buy your tickets early. Don’t travel alone-less for the safety and more for the language barrier and unfamiliar surroundings Do try to speak as much as French as you can (even if it’s only a appreciate the effort, even if they still end up speaking to you in English.
