Chvrches' Lauren Mayberry hits back at sexist trolls: 'Apparently wet hair makes you a slut'
Luke Morgan Britton Aug 18, 2015 9:28 am BST
The singer received lewd online comments about band's recent 'Leave A Trace' music video
Chvrches singer Lauren Mayberry has hit back at misogynistic online commenters following the release of her band's latest music video.
On Monday (August 17), the synth-pop trio released a clip for their track 'Leave A Trace', which predominantly saw Mayberry dancing on water amidst a storm.
Following the unveiling of the clip, Mayberry and her Chvrches bandmates pointed to a thread on the 4Chan website which featured numerous lewd remarks aimed at the singer.
"Dear anyone who thinks misogyny isn't real. It is and this is what it looks like," Mayberry wrote on Twitter whilst linking to the offending 4Chan thread.
The Chvrches Twitter account added: "PSA: apparently wet hair makes you a "slut". Nice work, 4chan / humanity."

Watch the 'Leave A Trace' video beneath.
It's not the first time Mayberry has been subjected to such abuse. Mayberry has previously written a blog post about online misogyny she has endured.
The Scottish singer also wrote a defiant message on Twitter saying: "My band is lucky enough to have some of the most awesome, supportive and respectful fans in the world and we are so excited to be in the studio making an album to share with them.
"Yet, on a daily basis, we still receive communications like this. These people never learn that violence against women is unacceptable. But they also never learn that women will not be shamed and silenced and made to disappear. I am not going anywhere. So bring it on, motherfuckers. Let's see who blinks first."
Chvrches recently confirmed details of the new LP, which will be titled 'Every Open Eye'. Following on from 2013's 'The Bones Of What You Believe', the record will be released on September 25.

Fatigue-life and leak-before-break assessments of CR-MO steel pressure vessels with high-pressure gaseous hydrogen
Junichiro Yamabe, Hisatake Itoga, Tohru Awane, Hisao Matsunaga, Shigeru Hamada, Saburo Matsuoka
Strength of materials
Pressure cycle tests were performed on two types of Cr-Mo steel pressure vessels with inner diameters of 306 mm and 210 mm and notches machined on their inside under hydrogen-gas pressures, varied between 0.6 and 45 MPa at room temperature. One of the Cr-Mo steels had a fine microstructure with tensile strength of 828 MPa, while the other had a coarse microstructure with tensile strength of 947 MPa. Fatigue-crack growth (FCG) and fracture-toughness tests of the Cr-Mo steels were also carried out in gaseous hydrogen. The Cr-Mo steels showed accelerated FCG rates in gaseous hydrogen compared to ambient air with an upper bound corresponding to an approximately 30-times higher FCG rate. Furthermore, in gaseous hydrogen, the fracture toughness of the Cr-Mo steel with coarse microstructure was significantly smaller than that of the steel with fine microstructure. Four pressure vessels were tested; then, all of the pressure vessels failed by leak-before-break (LBB). Based on the fracture-mechanics approach, the LBB failure of one pressure vessel could not be estimated by using the fracture toughness in gaseous hydrogen. The fatigue lives could be estimated by using the upper bound of the accelerated FCG rates in gaseous hydrogen.

Based on the fracture-mechanics approach, the LBB failure of one pressure vessel could not be estimated by using the fracture toughness in gaseous hydrogen. The fatigue lives could be estimated by using the upper bound of the accelerated FCG rates in gaseous hydrogen.
AB - Pressure cycle tests were performed on two types of Cr-Mo steel pressure vessels with inner diameters of 306 mm and 210 mm and notches machined on their inside under hydrogen-gas pressures, varied between 0.6 and 45 MPa at room temperature. One of the Cr-Mo steels had a fine microstructure with tensile strength of 828 MPa, while the other had a coarse microstructure with tensile strength of 947 MPa. Fatigue-crack growth (FCG) and fracture-toughness tests of the Cr-Mo steels were also carried out in gaseous hydrogen. The Cr-Mo steels showed accelerated FCG rates in gaseous hydrogen compared to ambient air with an upper bound corresponding to an approximately 30-times higher FCG rate. Furthermore, in gaseous hydrogen, the fracture toughness of the Cr-Mo steel with coarse microstructure was significantly smaller than that of the steel with fine microstructure. Four pressure vessels were tested; then, all of the pressure vessels failed by leak-before-break (LBB).

It's been four months since the Jawa classic and the Jawa Forty-Two were launched in India, and the bikes are yet to be delivered to customers. That said, the company has now revealed through social media that handovers will commence in March-April for the customers who have booked in November 2018.
Deliveries for the Jawa classic and Jawa Forty-Two single-channel ABS variant will commence from March, while dual-channel ABS variants will be delivered from June 2019.
Jawa Motorcycles India is on a dealership launch spree, with the latest being the inauguration of the Indore showroom. The company is well on its course to have 105 functional outlets across India in the coming months.
At the launch of the new Jawa bikes, the company had showcased the Jawa Perak factory-custom bobber, priced at INR 1.89 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). Jawa Motorcycles has confirmed to IAB that deliveries of the Perak bobber will commence from September 2019.
The Jawa bikes are sold out till September this year and waiting period has shot up to six months. While the Jawa classic rivals the Royal Enfield Classic 350, the Jawa Forty-Two will lock horns with the Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350X.
The Jawa classic is priced at INR 1.63 lakh* (single-channel ABS) and INR 1.73 lakh* (dual-channel ABS).
The Jawa motorcycles employ a 293cc, DOHC liquid-cooled motor that puts out a maximum power of 27 bhp and 28 Nm of peak torque, coupled with a six-speed transmission. The motorcycles either come with single-channel or dual-channel ABS units. While the former features a front disc and a rear drum brake setup, the latter gets disc brakes at both the ends. | {

Two new key recruits for Sydney valuations team
Nexus Corporate fully leased following new office commitment
Asian capital a key driver for Australian investment market
Melbourne, 12 March 2014 – While Australia will increasingly compete with other destinations for foreign capital, Asian investment in our property market is continuing to rise and buyers are broadening their focus.
That was a key theme of CBRE's annual Market Outlook breakfast in Melbourne, which included presentations from CBRE's new Asia Pacific Head of Research Dr Henry Chin, CBRE's Australian Head of Research Stephen McNabb and a panel of key CBRE executives.
Yields have been a key attraction for the Australian market with Dr Chin noting that at 6.7% and 6.1% respectively, average prime office yields in Sydney and Melbourne were well above other Asia Pacific markets such as Tokyo, Hong Kong and Taipei where yields were below 3%.
However, with Asian markets stabilising and stronger growth in the US, the relative attractiveness of Australia as an investment destination is changing – particularly in light of the lower AUD and higher rental growth expectations in other markets.
CBRE's Stephen McNabb said foreign investors had increased their net exposure to Australian commercial property by $15 billion - and to Melbourne by $5 billion - since 2007. However, competition for capital was increasing as global economies improved.
However, Mr McNabb forecast that the rate of foreign investment would begin to slow – although an offset has been the increasing capital flow from Asian, which represented more than 50% of total cross border investment in the Australian commercial property market in 2013.
The level of foreign buyer interest in Australia was also a key theme of today's panel discussion, with CBRE City Sales Director Mark Wizel noting that more than $1.3 billion had been invested in Melbourne CBD and near fringe development sites in the past two years – predominantly by offshore Asian groups.
However, he forecast that Asian buyers, particularly from China, would soon begin to broaden their focus from being predominantly interested in development sites to looking at core property and more passive investment opportunities.
"The market is going to move in the next two years and the game changer is likely to be the Chinese pension funds and major institutional investors. While the pioneers have been the privates, this is giving confidence to the institutional investors to follow suit and attention is shifting to core and value-add assets," Mr Wizel said.
CBRE Executive Managing Director, Capital Markets, Mark Granter concurred and said he was fielding enquiries from new foreign groups every one to two weeks.
"If you look at all the markets around the world, the returns coming out of prime real estate in Australia remain more attractive," Mr Granter
Stepping back to assess the broader global economic outlook, Dr Chin told attendees at today's breakfast that a significant economic slowdown in Asia Pacific was unlikely, with long term growth rates expected to remain strong.
His advice for property investors was to focus on assets and sectors that would benefit most from this long term such as the logistics sector and non-discretionary driven retail assets. He also tipped that now was the time to move further up the risk curve where the opportunity for value creation still existed.
Dr Chin also advised that in a restricted lending environment with an outlook of rising interest rates, it was time for investors to looking at refinancing or securing long term finance.
"We're also seeing opportunities for non-bank lenders such as insurance companies and private equity funds to bridge the funding gap, especially in Australia and Japan," Dr Chin.
At a local level, Mr McNabb said business investment would continue to be a drag on growth in Australia, with mining spend expectations - which account for about on half of the total investment spend - down 20% for 2014/15.
"However, our expectation is that a consumer and housing led recovery will compensate for the mining investment peak and this, together with strong exports, is expected to drive economic growth higher towards the end of 2014."
At a state level, Mr McNabb said Victoria had been desynchronized with the other states, after experiencing an earlier housing boom in 2009/10. However, while growth had slowed last year Victoria looked set to catch up with the rest of the country in 2014 with retail sales higher and the housing market stabilising.
On a sector-by-sector basis, Mr McNabb said the CBRE outlook was as follows:
Retail - higher sales growth will support rental growth in both regional centres and the large format retail sector. Investment yields have already tightened for all grades of shopping centres in Q4, 2103, amid is investor sentiment improved – particularly for assets such as large format retail centres which have underperformed post the GFC. The sector will also get a long awaited boost from an improvement in discretionary spending
Industrial - tenant demand conditions are expected to improve. While the manufacturing sector's contribution to industrial output has fallen for decades, Mr McNabb said the contribution from the transport and storage sector had tripled and this was driving demand growth. While industrial supply was increasing, Mr McNabb said the market remained fairly demand driven and the cycle was improving to support growth next year with rents tipped to increase by more than 2% in 2015.
Office - expect tenant revenue to improve with the economy, however office will be the sector with the slowest rate of yield compression due to lower rental growth and there is limited potential for capital value growth in the short term. Office supply remains the key issue, particularly in Melbourne.
The outlook and opportunities for each sector were discussed more broadly in the Market Outlook panel session with some of the key insights being as follows:
Mark Granter, Executive Director, Capital Markets –Mr Granter noted that investors were being very disciplined in their approach and had lowered their return expectations on office investments from 8.5-9% 12 months ago to in the order of 8-8.5%. He also noted that while the majority of investors were targeting core assets, limited availability was leading to a shift in focus, with a growing number of buyers prepared to consider non-core and value-add opportunities.
Andrew Tracey, Regional Director, Office Services – Mr Tracey noted that confidence in the leasing market had improved since the start of the year. "We're seeing a greater level of enquiry and, more importantly, a higher level of conversions." He added that now was a "once-in-a-cycle" opportunity for tenants given the current "exceptional rental value proposition". He advised owners to be agile, to treat tenants like customers and be "at the front end of negotiations, not the back end".
Mark Wizel, Director, City Sales – In addition to his comments on Asian investor demand, Mr Wizel advised owners to sell on market rather than off market given the number of new players targeting the Australian market. "No-one really knows who the next most aggressive buyer will be." Understanding the value-add potential of assets was also crucial.
Matt Haddon, Regional Director, Industrial & Logistics Services – Touching on the current media commentary in relation to car manufacturing and the impact of recent closure announcements, Mr Haddon said the impact on institutional investors would be limited with those buyers having moved their focus to the logistics sector over the past decade. He also noted that industrial property investment was this year tipped to reach its highest level since 2006. Mr Haddon added that buyers were factoring in an appropriate yield spread of circa 200 basis points between premium and secondary assets, as opposed to 25 to 50 basis points prior to the GFC and suggested that there was an opportunity for investors to move further up the risk curve
Neil Proudlove, Regional Director, Retail Investments – Opportunities lay in the large format retail sector and in neighbourhood and sub-regional shopping centre however across the board owners needed to focus on active management and active leasing to drive revenue. He also advised investors to lock in good, long term debt.

Home > College Prep > Need Help On That College Tuition?
Parents nowadays are amazed or even flabbergasted at the high cost of college tuition fees.
The average cost at a private college or university in the US is about $21,235 per year, and about $5,491 per year at four-year public universities. In 2006, public college tuition jumped 10.5 percent. (egad!) And when you add in room and board, the cost of attending a private college is $29,026 per year on average, and $12,127 at four-year public universities. According to msnbc, published prices are up 35 percent in five years — the largest increase of any five-year period in the 30 years covered the report.
Taking inflation and the rising cost of living into account, monetary help is needed much more than ever. So before sending your teen out to the big school, make sure you're prepared, at the most, financially. It's never too early to research on available support, and that's where a site like eLearning YellowPages.com can help. They have a list of scholarship matching services where you or your child can apply online and get a head start on that tuition aid. There are informative and useful articles regarding how to find financial aid including grants and scholarships via the Internet, and how to avoid potential scams.
There are also available resources which can be used for any type of educational opportunity, including GED courses, Certificate Programs, Undergraduate & Graduate School, Online or Distance Learning Programs, Home-Based Study, Continuing Education and Career Training.Secure your children's education and secure their future now. | {

You can get anywhere in America from anywhere else, but some trips are easier than others. Unless you own a private plane, the only sensible way to get from Kansas City to Smalltown is to drive east on I-70 to St. Louis for four hours, turn right, then drive south on I-55 for two hours. I've made that trip dozens of times, and it isn't very interesting, so instead of sticking to the program last Wednesday morning, I pulled off the interstate, fired up my GPS, and took the back roads all the way home.
It's been more than a quarter-century since I last saw the parts of Missouri through which I drove, and I enjoyed every minute of my impromptu journey to Smalltown via Sedalia, Cole Camp, Laurie, Sunrise Beach, Rolla, Dixon, Steelville, and Potosi. Somewhere along the way I stopped in the parking lot of a Burger King, downloaded my e-mail, and learned that Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong has been sold to a Bulgarian publisher. Isn't technology wonderful?
I hadn't been home since Christmas, so I hadn't seen the effects of the devastating ice storm that swept through southeast Missouri a few weeks after my last visit. My first sight of Smalltown was jolting: it looked as if my home town had caught a terrible disease. Many of the trees in town, including the ones in my mother's yard, had lost a considerable number of their branches, and more than a few, including some of the biggest and grandest ones, had been chopped down. Once I started getting used to the sight of the sickly trees, though, things in Smalltown seemed pretty much the way they've always been. I took my mother to the covered bridge north of town for a picnic one day, and a couple of days later my brother smoked a pork loin on his back porch and treated us to a feast.
In between I wrote a Wall Street Journal drama column and a book review and went to lunch at Lambert's Café, the home of "throwed rolls" (the waiters toss them to you) and Smalltown's sole claim to national fame, with Lee McMurray, a good friend from high school who now lives in St. Louis but was in town for a weekend visit. Lee and I hadn't seen one another for years, but we'd been keeping in sporadic touch via e-mail and Facebook, and we picked up the threads of our friendship effortlessly.
My visit was over before I knew it, and today I rose early to start the long trip from Smalltown to Washington, D.C., where I'll be seeing a Noël Coward play and dining with Thornton Wilder's nephew. Then I'll rush back to New York to appear at BookExpo America, do a couple of Pops-related interviews, and see an off-Broadway press preview. On Sunday I pack my passport and fly north to Toronto for my first visit to the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. I already miss Smalltown, where I got to hang up my clothes, sleep late every morning, and eat home cooking. I love my crowded life more than words can say, but sometimes it's nice to stay in one place for a few days and do next to nothing. | {

FRESNO — Michael Staples, exalted ruler of Chico Elks Lodge, presented a check May 21 for $15,538 during the closing ceremony of the Elk"s California/Hawaii State Convention in Fresno.
The money was raised by Chico Elks during the past year, which, when combined with other lodges in the region, totaled more than $3 million.
Funds will go to California/Hawaii Association of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks major project. The project inlcudes monies devoted to vision screening and physical therapy to children with a broad range of disabilities.
Since 1950 Elk members from California and Hawaii have contributed more that 97 1Ú2 million dollars devoted to providing vision screening and physical therapy to children with a broad range of disabilities. Without the Elks support many of these children would not receive such treatment. | {

Contractors abandon major projects in Colleges of Education since 2016 – TTAG
Jonathan Dzunu
The National President of the Teacher Trainees' Association of Ghana (TTAG) Mr. Jonathan Dzunu expressed worry over the abandoned projects in Colleges of Education.
Speaking at the grand durbar of the 26th General Assembly of TTAG held at the St. Francis College of Education, Hohoe on Friday, 22nd July, 2022, Mr. Jonathan Dzunu said, contractors have abandoned major projects in Colleges of Education since 2016.
He explained that, Government of Ghana in 2016 awarded some contracts for the construction of lecture halls, dormitories, classrooms and teacher's bungalows among others but contractors abandoned their work at the preparatory stage, the situation he said is causing infrastructural challenges.
He further said, the colleges of education are bedeviled with infrastructural challenges, challenges which have negatively affected effective academic works in most colleges of education.
He said, these infrastructural challenges have dire consequences on the safety, academic progress and success of the colleges and students.
"As much as successive governments over the years have been making some reforms in the colleges of education, there are much more infrastructure to provide to the existing colleges. These include lecture halls, hostels, sports facilities, science laboratories, road network, pipe born water and other useful facilities."
Mr. Jonathan Dzunu noted that, this situation has created a limited number of available facilities in some colleges of education, compelling colleges of education to run a double track system.
"In this regard, we are urging government to take pragmatic measures to complete stalled projects as well as partner Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and other benevolent groups to help provide adequate facilities to improve the infrastructure in the colleges of education to enable the colleges contain all the 4-year group on campus." Jonathan Dzunu said.

A remote control access system which may be in the form of a security system or a convenience system for buildings and vehicles to thereby enable access opening and closing of buildings and vehicles. The system is operable on a remote control basis and comprises one or more hand held remote transmitters and a receiver unit located at or near the building or in the vehicle. The receiver is operable in conjunction with a control unit which contains a microprocessor capable of performing control functions and decoding functions. The remote control access system is unique in that it enables the user to electronically program into or delete from the receiver a digital code or so-called encoding signal from any of a plurality of transmitters. Each transmitter may contain not only different numbers of digital codes, but also a code generated by an entirely different method of encoding. Moreover, it is not necessary for the user or anyone else to know the specific encoded signal which is transmitted from any of the transmitters to the receiver. The receiver is operable with a plurality of transmitters, all of which operate on the same frequency. The present invention also provides an anti-sequencing capability such that one cannot use an electronic sequencer for detecting the code of the transmitter for purposes of violating the security system.
This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/118,167 filed on Sept. 8, 1993 now abandoned, which is continuation of Ser. No. 07/944,038 filed on Sept. 11, 1992 abandoned, which is continuation of Ser. No. 07/719,095 filed on Jun. 20, 1991, abandoned, which is continuation of Ser. No. 07/555,357 filed on Jul. 17, 1990, abandoned, which is continuation of Ser. No. 07/406,837 filed on Sept. 13, 1989, abandoned, which is continuation of Ser. No. 07/094,395 filed on Sept. 8, 1987, now abandoned.
This invention relates in general to certain new and useful improvements in remote control access systems, and more particularly, to remote control access systems which are comprised of a receiver-control unit located at or near an enclosed environment, and one or more remote transmitters, and which systems are electronically programmable by any user without knowledge of the specific code used or operation of the system itself.
Remote control systems are widely used in a large number of applications in which a receiver is located to control some type of electronic equipment and which is operable by one or more remotely located transmitters. Usually, these receiver-transmitter arrangements are radio frequency operated, although they can be operated with other forms of electromagnetic radiation or sound energy.
The remote control access systems may adopt the form of convenience systems such as garage door openers which control the opening and closing of a garage door, as well as security systems such as those providing controlled entry into vehicles and buildings. The area which is to be secured by the remote control access system is often referred to as "protected environment" or the "secured environment."
In recent years, and primarily due to the increase of theft, vandalism and burglaries, many home and vehicle owners have installed remote access control systems, such as security systems and remote controlled garage door systems. The vast majority of these security systems, when triggered, will generate an audible or visible alarm signal or otherwise a silent alarm signal transmitted to a security force, such as a police department to alert of an improper entry or an improper intrusion into the protected area. Many of these commercially available security systems are remotely operable, that is, they include a receiver capable of being operated from a remotely located transmitter for purposes of arming and dis-arming the security system.
The present state of the art in conventional automotive vehicle security systems usually includes an alarm section which may either generate an audible alarm, as for example, from a siren, a horn, or the like and may also often activate a visible alarm by operating any of the vehicle lights. Many of these commercially available vehicle security systems may also disable some portion of the vehicle engine system such as the ignition system, starter, fuel pump, or lock the engine compartment. Thus, in the event of an improper intrusion or attempted theft of the vehicle, the security system will cause initiation of an audible alarm or cause the lights to switch on and off and may also interfere with operation of the vehicle engine system.
The use of a transmitter and a receiver which have been pre-coded is generally standard with all commercially available remote control access systems and other remote control systems. In these transmitter-receiver combinations, the code, usually referred to as an encoded signal, is permanently encoded into the receiver.
In the remote control security systems, the transmitter is always pre-programmed with respect to the receiver and the code can't be altered or changed by the user. In other words, the receiver can only operate on the basis of a security code permanently encoded in that receiver and transmitted from a particular transmitter matched and sold with that receiver.
In addition to being quite limiting to and having a security exposure in case of a loss or stolen transmitter they also present many constraints on the manufacturers, customers and dealers of these security systems. For instance, if the user of one of these prior art security systems should lose his or her transmitter, it is necessary to obtain another transmitter which was not previously coded and have that transmitter properly matched and coded for the particular receiver.
The encoding of the transmitter entails, at very least, obtaining the particular code to introduce into the transmitter for activating the receiver. This encoding also includes the requirements of opening the transmitter and then mechanically coding the transmitter. Usually, the coding is accomplished by scratching conductive lines on a printed circuit board, closing or opening switches or the like. Some transmitters are provided with control boards having hole areas capable of being punched to provide a particular encoded signal. In any event, some form of mechanical action is usually required for encoding the transmitter after the latter has been opened.
Usually, most users of the remote control access systems are not capable of encoding the transmitters on their own, and therefore, must seek the assistance of the retailer or manufacturer of the system. The mere fact that the code for authorized actuation of the security system must be known by the selling dealer or manufacturer may inevitably lead to a breach of the security system itself, since the code is usually written to maintain a permanent record of the same. More importantly should the user wish to change the code because of a lost or stolen transmitter, both the transmitter and the receiver will have to be sent back to the manufacturer. This is a time consuming task which leaves the user without the security system, in addition to being costly.
In addition to the foregoing, if a user desires to have several transmitters operate the receivers of several remote control access systems, such as security systems or garage door systems, each receiver must be properly programmed with the proper code. As an example, if a person desired to operate, with the same remote control system, several vehicles and garage doors, it is necessary to have a receiver in each car and a receiver in each garage door system pre-programmed by a manufacturer. This necessarily requires custom design efforts which is very time consuming as well as costly.
Since most security systems and remote garage door openers operate with substantially less than one million code combinations it has been recently recognized that many commercially available electronic sequencing devices (often referred to as "electronic scanners") can, in effect, remotely decode that security code in a fairly short period of time. The electronic sequencers or scanners are capable of rapidly generating a large number of possible code combinations and when the right code combination has been generated, it will automatically disarm the security system. There is not any decoding-proof measure which is commercially available for preventing anyone from using an electronic sequencing apparatus to disarm a security system.
It is, therefore, one of the primary objects of the present invention to provide a radio frequency operated remote control system in which the receiver of the system can be electronically programmed by the user of the system without opening the transmitter, and without coding the transmitter or changing or encoding the receiver or acquiring dealer or manufacturer assistance.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a remote control system of the type stated in which neither the manufacturer, dealer or user of the system are required to know the particular code which is transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method for a user of a remote control system to encode a receiver from a transmitter without any prerequisite skill or the need to even open the case of neither the transmitter nor the receiver.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a remote control system of the type stated which does not require the provision of a separate decoder along with the receiver.
It is an additional object of the present invention to provide a remote control system of the type stated where completely different types of transmitters may be provided and where each transmitter may control totally different areas and they may operate with totally different numbers of possible codes.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a remote control system of the type stated where any of a multiplicity of transmitters may be added to or deleted from the system at will by the user.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a remote control system of the type stated where each transmitter may be programmed to a different priority level, thereby enabling an accessing or controlling to pre-assigned functions.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a remote control system of the type stated which may be provided with an anti-scanning feature to preclude electronic scanning and unauthorized disarming of the system.
It is another salient object of the present invention to provide a remote control system of the type stated which can produce multi-billion codes thereby providing code security of at least two thousand times the code security of prior art systems and yet which can be manufactured at a relatively low cost.
With the above and other objects in view, my invention resides in the novel features of form, construction, arrangement, and combination of parts presently described and pointed out in the claims.
A remote control access system which is comprised of at least one receiver connected to electronic or electrical equipment which will enable or perform various functions when activated and one or more transmitters which can actuate the receiver by generation of a code or encoded signal. As an example, one of the functions which may be enabled or performed is that of controlling an access opening. The receiver is operable with a control unit and this control unit is preferably a microprocessor control unit in accordance with the present invention. Moreover, the receiver and microprocessor control unit can perform all of the necessary decoding functions.
In one embodiment of the invention, one or more transmitters forming part of the system may have the provision of an encoder included therein. The one or more encoders will generate encoded signals upon actuation of the transmitters. This embodiment of the invention also comprises a receiver-control unit at the secured or protected environment, and is responsive to the encoded signal and enables operation of an access system.
The control unit is operable with the receiver at a protected or access controlled environment, and which is preferably a microprocessor operated control unit, as aforesaid. The control unit performs several primary functions including a decoding function. Thus, when the receiver receives the encoded signal, the microprocessor validates and decodes the transmitted signal. Thus, there is no requirement for the provision of a separate decoder in the protected environment.
The remote control access system of the present invention is also highly effective in that it is electronically user programmable. In effect, the receiver can be programmed by the user at any time. Moreover, no tooling or skills are required on the part of the user in order to program the receiver. The user is not even required to open the transmitter case or receiver housings when programming the system. The user of the system may initiate the receiver's program mode at any time so that it will enable recording and thereby enable recognition of subsequent messages or encoded signals from the transmitter. This may be accomplished by activating a record switch in the receiver, either mechanically, electronically or through voice recognition. Thereafter, the user actuates the transmitter, as for example, by pressing a switch on the transmitter. This will cause the encoded signal generated by the encoder to be transmitted by the transmitter to the receiver.
The receiver and control unit will operate to decode the transmitted signal and which decoded signal is then programmed into a memory unit, as hereinafter described, and becomes the control signal or so-called "signature control signal". In this sense, the system of the present invention is user programmable. Moreover, it is not necessary for anyone to know the specific encoded signal which is in the control unit, initially, or at any time thereafter. The control unit will, in effect, have received the signature of the transmitter and will record that signature in the random access memory of the microprocessor.
The receiver-control unit may be arranged so as to automatically exit the signature signal record mode after recording thereof. This automatic exit may occur for example, after a certain time delay in which no further signal has been received. Otherwise, the receiver may be arranged so that it is manually switched by the user out of the signature signal record-mode or so-called "program mode."
The receiver-control unit in the system of the present invention may also be operated by several transmitters, and each of which may be used to operate the receiver and control unit. Each transmitter may operate with a completely different code or encoded signal than any of the other transmitters and in this case, the receiver will be responsive to each transmitter which has its code or encoded signal recorded in the control unit as a signature control signal. It is not even necessary for the transmitters to be of the same type.
Each transmitter may have a totally different maximum number of digital code combinations. For example, one transmitter may have a ten-bit code and therefore, is able to produce one thousand twenty-four possible combinations of unique codes. Yet another transmitter may operate with a thirty-two bit code, thus possessing more than four billion possible digital codes. The construction and the operation of these transmitters may be different and each may have a different number of switches and/or codes, as aforesaid. However, it is important that each transmitter operate on the same frequency as the receiver.
In accordance with the above if a plurality of individuals are required to have access to the arming and dis-arming of the system, each may be provided with the same or different transmitters. Each such individual will initially operate his or her transmitter to record the signature of that transmitter in the random access memory of the microprocessor, as one of the control signals or signature control signals. After this has been accomplished, each party using any one of the transmitters, whose signatures have been recorded, may then access the system by either arming or dis-arming the system, or enabling specific functions assigned only to one or more specific transmitters. Moreover, the system may be armed by one transmitter and disarmed by a second transmitter, re-armed by a third transmitter, and disarmed by a fourth transmitter, etc.
Any one of the transmitters may also be programmed out of the system, that is deleted from the system, by first entering the recording or program mode, and then programming repeatedly, the rest of the transmitters until the memory of the control unit is fully loaded.
In the event that any particular transmitter is lost or stolen, it is only necessary to erase the recorded signature control signals in the memory and re-record the signature control signals from the other transmitters which have not been lost or stolen. In this way, anyone who attempts to use the lost or stolen transmitter will not be able to arm or dis-arm the remote control access system. There is essentially no breach in security inasmuch as one must have access to the receiver-control unit which is generally located in the secured environment.
The remote-control access system of the present invention may assign different access or controlling functions to different transmitters. As an example, one transmitter may have access to a first portion of a secured environment, a second transmitter may have access to a second portion of a secured environment, etc. In like manner, one transmitter may have access to a first portion of a secured environment and a second transmitter may have access to that first portion and another portion of a secured environment. In this way the arrangement is highly effective for controlling parties having access to classified information. Thus, one party having access to a lower level of classified information will have access to an area containing that information. Another party having access to an intermediate level of classified information will have access to the areas containing the lower level of classified information and the area containing the intermediate levels of classified information. Parties having access to a high security level of information as for example, a "top secret" level of information will have access to all levels of information.
The arrangement for controlling access to different areas of a secured environment is easily accomplished with the system of the present invention. It is only necessary to record the signature control signals from those transmitters into receiver-control units which are designed to enable access to certain areas. Thus, a transmitter which is designed to provide access to a first secured area will have its signature control signal encoded in the receiver-control unit at the access opening of that first area. A transmitter permitting access to a second secured area will have its signature control signal recorded in the receiver-control unit located to control the access opening to both the first secured area and the second secured area.
In still another embodiment of the present invention, the remote control system may be provided with an anti-scanning feature. The anti-scanning feature prevents a so-called "breaking" of the encoded signal. Heretofore, it was possible, in a given time frame, to generate a large number of coded signals and essentially all possible combinations thereof, for example 16,000 possible combinations with an electronic scanner. The present invention will preclude the arming or dis-arming of the security system by the prior art scanning procedures.
The microprocessor is constructed, in this embodiment of the invention, to operate in such manner that it will not permit arming or disarming of the system for a pre-determined time period in the event of the receipt of an unauthorized or invalid encoded signal, as for example, a four-second delay. Thus, a typical scanner which generates coded signals on a rapid basis, usually much faster than the time delay period, will attempt to transmit a large number of coded signals in a short time frame to the receiver in the anticipation that one of the coded signals would arm or dis-arm the system. However, on each occasion that the the control unit detects an improper or invalid coded signal, the time delay is continued. Thus, if a first encoded signal is an invalid code or an unauthorized signal, the control unit will not permit operation of the security system for a pre-set time delay. If any successive encoded signal is also an invalid code or an unauthorized signal, then the pre-set time delay is continued for an additional pre-set time delay increment and so forth. The disabling time of the decoder in response to each invalid code is longer than the time it takes to generate a code by the scanner's encoder. Thus, even when a valid code is transmitted, it will not deactivate the system since it was preceeded by an invalid code. In this way, a conventional scanning device could not generate the proper coded signal in a time domain necessary to arm or disarm the security system.
The microprocessor operated control unit also performs a reading function and a comparison function. In the reading operation, the control unit will read two or more successive and sequentially transmitted and decoded signals and will recognize them as correctly (authorized--not necessarily valid) transmitted signals, if two or more successive transmitted signals correspond. In this way, the control unit can determine if there is an error in transmission.
In the comparison function, the control unit will read a transmitted and decoded signal which is often referred to as a "received signal", and then compare that transmitted and decoded signal to a stored code or stored encoded signal which has been previously stored in the random access memory of the processor. Thus, and in this respect, the microprocessor operated control unit will perform a comparison function. This stored signal is typically referred to as a "control signal" or a "signature signal" since it is, in effect, the signature signal transmitted from the transmitter.
In the comparison operation, if the encoded signal which has been received and decoded corresponds to a previously recorded signal or signature signal, then the control unit will recognize the received decoded signal as a valid signal. Contrarywise, if the received and decoded signal does not correspond a previously recorded signature signal, the microprocessor will recognize that received and decoded signal as an invalid and unathorized signal and will not enable a disarming of the security system.
If the signal which has been decoded and compared does correspond to a previously recorded signal and is thereby a valid signal, then the microprocessor will either enable or disable or initiate various commands. For example, if the security system was armed when the valid decoded signal was received, then the microprocessor will enable a disarming of the system. If the system was dis-armed when the valid decoded signal is received, then the microprocessor will enable an arming of the security system.
The term "signal", and particularly with reference to an encoded transmitted signal or a received and decoded signal, is used in a general sense to refer to a transmitted or received code which may be comprised of a plurality of bits and/or bytes of information. Thus, as a simple example, in one of the embodiments of the system of the present invention, the encoded signal may be comprised of eighteen bits of information.
2) A signature control signal may be eliminated from the receiver-control unit by recording the codes of the desired transmitters several times until the memory of the control unit is fully loaded.
3) It is not necessary for any one to know the code for triggering of the remote control system inasmuch as any code already programmed in the remote control transmitter will be automatically recorded into the memory of the receiver-control unit when the receiver-control unit is in the program mode and the remotely located transmitter is activated.
4) The security level of the present invention can be upgraded by the user at any time, as for example, by utilizing upgraded transmitters with a substantially greater number of digital codes, or the like, and which is virtually impossible in any of the prior art remote control security systems. In this way, for example, the remote control system can be upgraded by the owner, at will, from 16,000 combinations of digital codes to over 4 billion digital code combinations without modifying or installing a new system.
5) In reading the encoded signal transmitted from the transmitter, a reading operation is conducted by the control unit associated with the receiver on two consecutive received signals to ensure that there is no error in the received signals before determining if that received and decoded signal compares to the signature control signal.
6) The transmitter and receiver are uniquely designed so that neither has to be opened and electronic or mechanical knowledge is not required for installing a new encoded signal at any time.
7) The remote control access system of the invention can operate with numerous types of transmitters, so long as they essentially operate at the same frequency range. This enables the purchase of transmitters from a source different from the receiver and control unit.
8) The remote control access system of the invention can operate by controlling access to different areas of a secured environment with different transmitters. Thus, one transmitter may provide access to a first portion of a secured area and a second transmitter may provide access to a second portion of a secured area.
9) The remote control security system of the present invention possesses an anti-scanning feature that makes it virtually impossible to determine the encoded signal by electronic scanning.
10) The remote control system of the invention also uses significantly fewer electronic components than the prior art systems, and as an example, a decoder is not required inasmuch as the microprocessor can perform the decoding function.
The above identified advantages are only a non-limiting list, but include some of the significant advantages which are achieved by the system of the present invention.
In one of the preferred environments of the invention, the remote control access system of the invention is used in conjunction with or forms part of a security system, as for example, an automotive vehicle security system. Although the invention is not so limited, the remote controlled system of the invention will be described in connection with and as a part of an automotive vehicle security system.
While the remote control access system of the present invention has been designed for use with vehicles, and more specifically, for use with automotive vehicles, the security system can be used with essentially any form of vehicle, including airplanes, boats, trucks, and the like. Moreover, the security system is highly effective for use in buildings, including dwelling structures, office buildings, garages and the like. Thus, with little or no modification, the access system is capable of being used in a wide variety of environments and is therefore highly versatile.
This invention possesses many other advantages and has other purposes which may be made more clearly apparent from a consideration of the forms in which it may be embodied. These forms are shown in the drawings accompanying and forming part of the present specification. They will now be described in detail for purposes of illustrating the general principles of the invention, but it is to be understood that such detailed description is not to be taken in a limiting sense.
FIG. 6 is a timing diagram of a plurality of wave forms showing a transmitted encoded signal.
Referring now in more detail and by reference characters to the drawings which illustrate practical embodiments of the present invention, A designates a remote control system in the form of a remote control security system. As indicated previously, a security system is only one form of an access control system which controls the access into buildings or vehicles or like environments. However, since the remote control system of the invention finds a preferred use in security systems, it will be described in connection with a remote controlled security system, although it is to be understood that the invention is not so limited.
The security system is comprised of a transmitter unit 10, a receiver 12, and a microprocessor based control unit 14. The transmitter 10 is schematically shown as including an encoder 16 forming a part thereof. Moveover, the control unit is shown with various functions which may be performed therein or in conjunction therewith. As an example, these functions may be performed by programming various steps into the microprocessor, or otherwise, they could be performed by discrete apparatus carrying out the functions as identified but which would operate in conjunction with the control unit 14.
FIG. 3 illustrates one embodiment of a transmitter unit which may be constructed in accordance with and embodying the present invention. However, inasmuch as numerous transmitters may be used in accordance with the present invention, as previously described, this particular embodiment of the transmitter is only one of the preferred embodiments, although other electrical circuit arrangements could be employed with the transmitter.
The transmitter 10 generally comprises the encoder 16, as aforesaid, and which may be suitably encoded by the manufacturer so that the user is not required to encode the same. For this purpose, small switches may be provided on the encoder, or other means known in the art, could be provided on the encoder for specifically generating an encoded signal. A plurality of output lines 18 extend from the encoder 16 in the manner as illustrated in FIG. 3. One such output an line 18 is connected to an NPN transistor 20 forming part of an oscillator transmitter 22, as illustrated by the dotted lines in FIG. 3. The conductor 18 is actually connected to the base of the transistor 20, as shown. The conductor 18 is also connected through a resonator 23 which is in turn, grounded. A resistor 24 is located in the conductor 18 and serves as a current limiter due to the fact that the transistor 20 is a low impedance device.
A capacitor 26 is connected across an additional pair of conductors 28 and 30, in the manner as shown, and which operates as a reset circuit. This ensures that the encoder will start the generation of each new encoded signal when actuated on each occasion.
In addition, a resistive-capacitive network 32 is also connected to the output of the encoder 16 in the manner as shown in FIG. 3, and comprises a pair of resistors 34 and 36 and a capacitor 38. This circuit arrangement stabilizes the length of each of the bits which are generated by the encoder 16. This is important in connection with the present invention in that the receiver and the control unit may measure the lengths of the bits in order to determine the status of these bits, that is, whether they are a "1" or a "0".
The transistor 20 has a capacitor 40 connected across its emitter and collector in the manner as shown, and an additional capacitor 42 is connected to a resistor 44 on the emitter of the transistor 20. The capacitors 40 and 42 are generally provided for load matching purposes and the resistor 44 provides a control bias to the transistor 20.
Connected to the collector of the transistor 20 is a load circuit 46, as for example, a portion of an antenna load. This load circuit 46 is connected through a resistor 48 to the output conductor 28 of the encoder in the manner as shown. A capacitor 50 is also connected to the load circuit 46 and is grounded. In effect, the point where the capacitor is connected to the load circuit, represents a ground level value. The resistor 48 and the capacitor 50 operate to de-couple a battery as hereinafter described.
Also connected to the conductor 28 and to an additional conductor 52 are a pair of manually operable switches 54 and 56. These switches 54 and 56 are operable for providing two channels to the encoder. Thus, one of the switches, when actuated, will cause the generation of a first encoded signal. The other of the switches 56, when actuated, will cause the generation of a second encoded signal. It should also be observed that a diode 58 is connected across the switches 54 and 56, in the manner as illustrated, and a diode 60 is also connected between the switchs 54 and 56 and a battery 62.
As indicated previously, the transmitter, as illustrated, is a two-channel transmitter, which is highly preferable in accordance with the present invention. In this way, two individual encoded signals could be generated by actuation of each of the switches 54 and 56 as aforesaid. However, it should also be understood that a single channel encoder could be used. Moreover, various multiple channel encoders, such as, for example, a three-channel encoder or a four-channel encoder, etc. could be employed with slight modification of the circuitry as described herein.
When any one of the switches 54 or 56 are closed, they will complete a circuit to the encoder 16, causing generation of an electrical signal over the conductor 18 and which is, in turn, transmitted as a radio frequency signal, via the load 46 to the receiver 12.
The receiver 12 is more fully illustrated in FIG. 4 of the drawings and generally comprises an antenna 70 for picking-up the transmitted signals and which are introduced into an NPN input-matched impedence transistor 72 which matches the impedence of the antenna 70. This transistor 72 operates as a radio frequency pre-amplifier. A capacitor 74 between the antenna 70 and the pre-amplifier operates as a coupling capacitor. A resistive-capacitive network 76 is connected to the emitter of the transistor-pre-amplifier 72. Moreover, a second resistive-capacitive network 78 is also connected to the base of the transistor-pre-amplifier 72.
The collector of the transistor-pre-amplifier 72 is connected to an output conductor 80 which includes a pair of coupling capacitors 82 and 84. Moreover, an 8-volt power supply is connected to the collector of the resistor-pre-amplifier 72 through a resisitor 86 which isolates the transistor 72 from the power supply and also from the load.
The conductor 80 is connected to a tank circuit 88 through the coupling resistors 82 and 84 and which comprises a variable inductive device 90 provided for adjusting the frequency of the receiver to the transmitter. A capacitor 92 couples one end of the inductive device 90 to the conductor 80. That same end of the inductive device 90 is also connected through a coupling capacitor 94 to a variable resistor 96, in the manner as illustrated in FIG. 3. The variable resistor 96 is also connected to an 8-volt power source.
The conductor 80 is also connected to a local oscillator 98 which includes an NPN transistor 100 and a capacitor 102 connected across the collector end emitter of the transistor 100. The base of the transistor 100 is similarly connected to the voltage source through the resistor 96. Moreover, the emitter of the transistor 100 is connected to another inductor 104, in the manner as illustrated. This arrangement of the local oscillator including the transistor 100, the capacitor 102 and the inductor 104 is designed to detect the pulses included in the signal.
The output of the inductor 104 is connected to another conductor 106 which carries the detected signal. This conductor 106 serves as the main conductor for the pulses which are generated from the signal received from the transmitter. The detected signal pulses are passed through a resistor 108 and a capacitor 110 and to a signal amplifier 112 in the form of an NPN transistor. Another resistor 114 is connected across the collector and the base of the transistor 112. Moreover, the emitter is grounded and is also connected to a coupling capacitor 116.
The collector of the transistor 100 is also connected to a pair of load resistors 118 and 120, in the manner as illustrated in FIG. 4. In addition, a de-coupling capacitor is also connected to the conductor 80 in the manner as illustrated. Further, an 8-volt power supply is connected through a load resistor 122 to the collector of the transistor 112. At the point where the 8-volt power supply is connected to the conductor 80, a DC voltage is available. Moreover, this DC voltage may be applied to a comparator 124 through a resistor 126. Moreover, the comparator 124 receives a signal for comparison from the collector of the amplifier-transistor 112 through a pair of coupling transistors 128 and 130. When the signals in the comparator 124 do compare, an output is generated which is introduced into an inverter 132 for generating an output therefrom.
The output of the inverter 132 is then introduced into the control unit 14, which is more fully illustrated in FIG. 5 of the drawings. In this case, more specifically, the output from the receiver 12 is introduced into an exlusive NOR gate 140 which has an output to a microprocessor 142. The exclusive NOR gate 140 actually operates as an inverter. Moreover, it is preferably a programmable inverter. Furthermore, the microprocessor 142 receives a conductor carrying a reset input signal 144 from a reset signal generating circuit 145, as shown in FIG. 5. This reset signal generating circuit 145, which is sometimes referred to as a "watchdog" circuit, will automatically generate a reset signal each time that power is applied to the system, that is, each time that the system is "powered-up".
The reset signal generating circuit 145 may adopt any form of circuit which is capable of generating a reset signal. However, in the embodiment employed, a re-triggerable one-shot is connected to and operable in conjunction with a standard one-shot and capacitor. The capacitor may be committed to the standard one-shot through an NPN transistor and grounded. The collector of the NPN transistor would then be connected to the conductor 144. This arrangement has not been illustrated or described in any further detail herein inasmuch as any standard resetting circuit arrangement could be employed.
The microprocessor 142 also receives a plurality of input signals 146, 147, and 148, and where the input signal 148 represents a program signal or a signal from a program switch which may be located in the protected environment, as for example, the vehicle or dwelling structure or the like. The other inputs 146 and 147 into the microprocessor 142 are from sensors (not shown) and which sensors may adopt, for example, the form of a hood lock sensor, a vibration sensor, etc. Otherwise, other forms of input signals may be generated and introduced into the microprocessor 142 in the same manner as any of the signals 146.
The microprocessor 142 may be powered by means of a battery circuit 150, as shown in FIG. 5 and which comprises a conductor 152. The conductor 152 may be connected to a suitable 5-volt power source in the manner as shown. Also located in the conductor is an NPN transistor 154 which effectively functions as a diode to prevent current from moving back towards the 5-volt source and only enables current to be delivered to the microprocessor 142. The gate of the NPN transistor 154 is connected to the collector of another NPN transistor 156 in the manner as shown. The base of this transistor 156 is connected between a voltage dividing circuit 158 which controls the threshold voltage applied to the microprocessor 142. A battery 160 is connected to the conductor 152 through a resistor 162 and a diode 164 in the manner as illustrated. A grounding capacitor 166 is also connected to the conductor 152 in the manner as illustrated in FIG. 5.
The microprocessor 142 has a plurality of output signals 168 which are generally 4-volt signals and which are introduced into a buffer-amplifier 170. This buffer-amplifier 170 produces a plurality of outputs 172. Moreover, each of the outputs 172 are connected to a 12-volt power source through coupling resistors 174 in the manner as illustrated, such that the outputs are raised to 12 volts. Each of the amplified signals 172 are then introduced into output circuits 176 in the manner as illustrated in FIG. 5.
The output circuits of FIG. 5 each generally comprise a field-effect transistor 178 which is connected through diodes 180 to a 12-volt power source. The various outputs from the output circuits 176 may provide responsive functions in the protected environment. For example, a first output 176 may generate a siren. A second output may provide for a pulsed alarm. A third output may provide for an automatic door lock or an automatic unlocking of a door. Another output may provide for an ignition cut-off, that is, so that the ignition of a vehicle could not be started in the event of an intrusion or an unauthorized entry into the vehicle. Other forms of outputs could similarly be provided.
A special output from the microprocessor 142 in the form of a hood unlock signal is introduced into an inverter assembly 182 and then into an NPN transistor 184 which amplifies the signal. A coupling resistor 186 connects the base of the transistor 184 to the output of the inverter. Finally, the collector of the transistor 184 is connected to an output circuit 188 which is also comprised of a field effect transistor 190. This signal serves to automatically unlock the hood when generated. The generation of the hood unlock signal is authorizedly initiated by the control unit 14 of the system for a thirty-second time period after initially disarming the system.
Also connected to the microprocessor 142 is an oscillator control circuit 192 comprised of a crystal oscillator 194 and having a pair of capacitors 196 connected to the outputs thereof. This crystal oscillator 192 generates a control frequency which controls the speed of operation of the microprocessor 142 and generates the clocking signals therefore.
The microprocessor 142 also generates a plurality of control light outputs 198 which may control light emitting diodes 200 or other forms of light emitting devices. A pair of these signal light outputs may inform the user whether the system is turned on or off and a third of the signal light outputs 198 may inform the user if the microprocessor is running code in a correct sequence. It should be understood that other forms of output signal lights for generating other informational outputs may be employed in accordance with the present invention.
The operation of the security system has been described in connection with the detailed description thereof. However, the following should provide a brief summary of the operation of the various embodiments of the system.
The encoder 16 may be operated by actuation of one of the switches 54 or 56, as previously described. The encoder will thereupon generate a coded signal which is transmitted by the transmitter 10 as a radio frequency signal. The signal is then received by the receiver 12 and which will process the signal and generate an electrical signal output at the inverter 132. The signal from the inverter 132 is introduced into and decoded in the control unit 14, as aforesaid.
When the user desires to match a transmitter to the receiver, the receiver will first be placed in the program mode. This may be accomplished, as aforesaid, by enabling a switch in the receiver into a program position. The switch may be activated manually or electronically or through voice recognition. When the receiver is then in the program mode, any transmitter which is to have its signature control signal recorded therein is actuated to generate an encoded signal. This encoded signal will then be recorded as a signature control signal in the receiver-control unit. If only one transmitter is actuated, only a single signature control signal will be recorded in the receiver-control unit. If different transmitters are actuated when the receiver is in the program mode, each of those actuated transmitters will have its own signature control signal recorded. The receiver will exit the program mode automatically after a preset duration where the receiver is then in a condition to receive and decode subsequent encoded signals.
All subsequent signals will be compared against these signature control signals. If the subsequent signals are identical to the any of signature control signal, then they will be recognized as a valid encoded signal and will thereupon arm or disarm the security system. However, if they do not conform to the signature control signals which have been recorded, then the subsequently transmitted and decoded signals will not arm or disarm the security system.
As indicated previously, the transmitter may be capable of generating one or two individual encoded signals by actuation of the switches 54 and 56. Thus, either of the encoded signals from a single transmitter may be used to operate the control unit. In like manner, the control unit could be operated in such manner that both encoded signals are required before the system can be armed or disarmed. In this way, the security of the system is further enhanced.
The user of the system can also easily delete one of the transmitters from the system by removing the signature control signal of that transmitter from the control unit. In this case, the signature control signal of the transmitter can be deleted from the system, depending upon the specific programming of the receiver-control unit. In one of the preferred embodiments, if the receiver is placed in the program mode and the signature control signal is generated on a plurality of successive occasions, such as four successive occasions in close sequence, that will cause an automatic deletion of the signature control signal and hence, that transmitter from the system.
In accordance with the above identified circuit arrangement it can be understood that it is not necessary for the user or the dealer, or the installer of the system to either understand or to have knowledge of the specific encoded signal which is generated in order to add or delete any transmitter from the remote control access system. Thus, the user does not have to actuate any predetermined number of switchs or other input means, such as scratch a circuit pattern on a printed circuit board in order to generate the encoded signal. Indeed, the user or dealer or installer does not have to possess and use any of the special techniques for encoding the transmitter and which usually requires the intervention of skilled personnel. Moreover, it is not even necessary for the user or the dealer or installer to open either the transmitter or the receiver in order to record the signature control signal.
When in the program mode and when a signal is transmitted from any one or more transmitters, that signal will be received by the receiver and decoded by the control unit. After decoding, the received signal will then be recorded in the memory of the control unit as a signature control signal. This will occur with each signal received from any transmitter when in the program mode. When the receiver is in the receive mode, no further recording can be accomplished until the receiver is switched back to the program mode. When in the receive mode, if any encoded signals are generated and received by the receiver, they will be decoded and compared against the recorded signature control signals which have been recorded in the memory unit. If there is no comparison with any signature control signal, the received signal will be recognized as an invalid signal and will not arm or disarm the system.
In accordance with the above-identified construction, it can be observed that additional transmitters can be added to or deleted from the system at will. Moreover, it is not necessary to have the intervention of skilled personnel, such as a dealer or installer, to add or delete the transmitter from the system inasmuch as this can be easily accomplished by the user of the system. The system of the invention is also highly effective in that it may be used with many transmitters and also many different types of transmitters and with transmitters operating on different coded bases. The use of the system with a plurality of differing types of transmitters is more fully illustrated in FIG. 2 of the drawings.
In this case, it can be observed that a first transmitter 10A and associated encoder 16A generate a first code A1. This transmitter 10A and encoder 16A will generate a second code A2 if a pair of channels are provided on this transmitter-encoder combination. Thus, and for this purpose, the circuit arrangement of FIG. 3 would be employed utilizing both switches 54 and 56. In like manner, a second transmitter-encoder combination comprised of a transmitter 10B and an encoder 16B are provided for purposes of generating a code B1 and an encoded signal B2. Finally, a third transmitter-encoder combination comprised of a transmitter 10C and an encoder 16C are capable of generating a first encoded signal C1 and a second encoded signal C2. As also indicated previously, any of these transmitters could be used with more or less than two channels for generating any desired number of codes.
In accordance with the arrangement as illustrated in FIG. 2, it can be observed that each of these transmitters and encoders may be of different types and each will generate different encoding signals. Nevertheless, on the first occasion when each of these transmitters are used, they will be used in such manner so as to operate the control unit to record a signature control signal. Thus, each of the three transmitter-encoder combinations will have their signature control signal recorded in the control unit. On each subsequent occassion, when they are actuated, they will be capable of arming and dis-arming the security system, in the manner as previously described.
One of the unique aspects of this invention is the fact that any conventional transmitter can be used as long as it is operating on the same frequency as the receiver. Thus, if the user of the system loses one of the transmitters or desires to upgrade the system with another transmitter with more digital codes and higher security, it is not necessary to install an entirely new system. The user merely buys another transmitter and records the signature control signal in the microprocessor of the control unit 14.
Moreover, it is important to note that it is not necessary to have each transmitter, such as the transmitter-encoder combination illustrated in FIG. 2, to generate the same encoded signal. Thus, the user may merely provide additional authorized parties with transmitters for obtaining access to the security system without an elaborate time consuming and costly recording of a particular transmitter. It is necessary to only record once the signature control signal of that transmitter in the control unit, as aforesaid.
Another one of the unique aspects of the invention is that the encoded signal cannot be deciphered by electronic scanning techniques. As previously described, the microprocessor operated control unit generates a time delay between the processing of any received and decoded signal. Thus, if the first received and decoded signal is not a valid code, the microprocessor will generate a time delay before reading any other transmitted signal, and which time delay which is longer than the time required for a scanner to generate the necessary subsequent coded signals. Thus, if an electronic scanner is in operation each time that it transmits an invalid code it will disable the control unit. As the scanner steps through the various code possibilities, even when it transmits the correct code preceded and followed by an invalid code the microprocessor will not recognize the valid code since the previous invalid code will have caused an inhibiting of any subsequent reading of a code, whether or not a valid code, for a time period which is far too slow for any scanner stepping through successive codes. Thus, any valid code which is generated by the scanner would automatically be masked and not read by the receiver-control unit.
In accordance with the present invention, it is also possible to simultaneously use any number of coded combinations, as for example, a 14-bit encoded signal which could result in sixteen thousand encoded signal combinations. In like manner, it is possible to use a 20-bit signal which could result in up to one million encoded signal combinations, etc. In essence, the system of the present invention is virtually unlimited to the number of codes which can be used or the number of bits in any encoded signal.
The system of the invention is also capable of comparing two or more sequential encoded, transmitted and decoded signals to ensure that they are identical to one another. Thereafter, if the subsequently decoded signals are identical, they are then compared to the signature control signals. If the decoded signals match the signature control signal, then it is deemed to be a valid transmitted signal for purposes of arming or disarming the security system.
This arrangement for signal matching is more fully illustrated in FIG. 6 of the drawings. It can be observed that a signature control signal is shown in the upper portion of FIG. 6. The first of the bits, designated as 202 is a wider bit than another one of the bits 204 and thus, the bit 202 may represent, for example, a "1" signal, whereas the bit 204 may represent a "0" signal. Located beneath the signature signal is the transmitted signal which may have been decoded in the control unit. In this case, it can be observed that the transmitted signal is identical to the signature signal.
The transmitted signal has a length of n bits, in the manner as illustrated in FIG. 6. Located to the right of the transmitted signal is a second transmitted signal. In this case, it can be observed that the second transmitted signal is shown to be duplicate of the first transmitted signal. In this way, the two transmitted and decoded signals will compare in the comparator of the control unit. As a result, they will form a signal combination which may be compared against the signature control signal. In this case, it can be observed that the two transmitted signals are identical and are also identical to the signature control signal. As a result, the microprocessor operated control unit will recognize this as a valid decoded signal, enabling the user to have access to the security system for purposes of arming or disarming the same.
Contrarywise, it can also be observed, that if the second transmitted and decoded signal is not identical to the first transmitted signal, then there is no further comparison with respect to the signature control signal. There must be at least two or more sequential transmitted and decoded signals which are identical to one another before any comparison to the signature control signal can take place and hence, there must be the same comparison before any arming or disarming of the system can occur.
The microprocessor may also measure various other characteristics of the bits in order to determine whether or not a decoded signal is a valid signal. For example, the microprocessor could examine and compare bit length, the number of bits and the widths of the bits. Other characteristics, for example, amplitude or the like could also be used for determining whether a decoded signal is a proper or valid decoded signal.
Thus, there has been illustrated and described a unique and novel remote control radio frequency access system which includes many unique features, such as the fact that it can be operated by an encoded signal of which no person needs to have knowledge of the encoded signal for the purpose of coding the control unit and the fact that the transmitter does not need to be opened for coding. Moreover, the system can be operated by a plurality of transmitters, with each being of a different type and having different encoded signals and each may be added or deleted at will by the user. The system can also be operated in such manner that the code cannot be detected by electronic scanning. Thus, the present invention fulfills all of the objects and advantages which have been sought. It should be understood that many changes, modifications, variations and other uses and applications will become apparent to those skilled in the art after considering this specification and the accompanying drawings. Therefore, any and all such changes, modifications, variations and other uses and applications which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention are deemed to be covered by the invention which is limited only by the following claims.

The Resource Training Center, based in Amherst, is joining with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to promote the "5 to Drive" campaign during National Teen Driver Safety Week, Oct. 18-24. The campaign aims to help parents talk to their teen drivers about the rules of the road.
"Even though your teens might be gaining some independence and getting older, protecting them from harm shouldn't stop now," said Monica Farrar, director of The Resource Training Center and "Alive at 25," a program created specifically for young drivers. "The '5 to Drive' campaign will give parents the tools they need to keep their teen drivers safe."
Football Game Days End Safely When a Designated Driver is Part of Your Team
Tuesday, September 8th, 2015, 5:06pm
We're about to enter another season here in Western New York and across the country — football season! Whether you're a season ticket holder or watching the game in a bar with family and friends, there's one individual that no winning team can be without, and that's a designated driver.
"While game day is always a highly anticipated event, it is also a day frequently associated with heavy drinking, reckless behavior, drinking and driving, and an increase in motor vehicle crashes," said Monica Farrar, director of The Resource Training Center in Amherst. "If alcohol is part of your game day, plan ahead and plan on having a sober ride that will get you home safe and sound.

Der Gateway-Pass ist ein 8 km langer Gebirgspass im Osten der Alexander-I.-Insel vor der Westküste der Antarktischen Halbinsel. Er verläuft zwischen dem Astartehorn und dem Offset Ridge.
Das britische Directorate of Overseas Surveys kartierte ihn in Zusammenarbeit mit dem United States Geological Survey anhand von Satellitenbildern der NASA. Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee benannte ihn 1974 so, weil er vom Kopfende den Venus-Gletschers einen Zugang zum Landesinneren der Alexander-I.-Insel bietet.

With funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the Research and Evaluation Center at John Jay College and the Department of Criminal Justice at Temple University planned a comprehensive evaluation of the "Cure Violence" model of violence reduction. The research team studied the key components of the Cure Violence model and the various processes used to implement the model in existing sites, especially those sites thought to be performing at the highest level. Upon completion of the planning phase, the research team prepared and submitted an evaluation plan for the full study to RWJF.

A few weeks ago I wrote a post entitled UX Designers: Why are we hiding? In it, I highlighted thoughts on the New York Tech Meetup, as well as the tech scene in general and how we as UX professionals are not present in it. While at the same NYTM that inspired that post, I witnessed something that everyone present as well as watching on the live stream thought was incredibly awesome. A brave, talented 6th grader got up in front of the entire audience and talked about his school (one where they focus on computers, game design, etc from a young age) and demoed one of the games he created for his class.
If this wasn't cool enough, especially for a crowd full of hundreds of techies, what really struck me was the way that he presented his materials. He actually read everything straight from his notes, a big no no for presenters today, but something that brought me back to when I was learning how to give presentations. I remember when I was in middle school, if I had to talk to the class or a big group, I'd sit down and write out each and every word and review with my teacher to make sure it was perfect. Watching this child present, I began to relive my memories of those moments. What I was remembering the most, was the process that my teacher instructed me to take. He/she wanted me to write an outline, move on to a summary, then intro and ending, then the body, etc. I could see that this young guy had gone through a very similar, if not the same process.
The point of me bringing this moment up here is not to reminisce on my youth but to point out that this presentation was probably the most detailed, clear and informative of the entire night. Everything that he said made since to me, and I clearly understood the point of him standing up there, what he was showing and why and what that meant to me. It was odd that this sixth grader stood out to me much more than any of the other presenters who were businessman/woman trying to show their ideas. I started to think that the reason why had to be his framework for writing his presentation. How many of us go through that rigor when presenting? I know that I don't nearly as much as I should. This kid nailed it! And because of his preparation, it was a wonderful experience to hear him speak.
I obviously don't think that we should be reading each and every word from a note card like we did back in the day, but I do think there is something to be learned here about providing a clear and informative talk using a framework that is fairly well known throughout most elementary and middle schools. Perhaps, this is what sets the great speakers apart from the bad ones to begin with? What are your thoughts? It would be great to hear your presentation prep framework tips. I'd also love to hear any thoughts or opinions on what I may be missing or if you took this an entirely different direction, especially if you saw the presentation I'm referencing. In any case I know I can say that that little guy is my inspiration from here on out for presentations. | {

We've heard the horror stories of just how bad being an animator in Japan can be. But whose fault is it? Greedy investors? Slave-driving studios? The networks? Turns out, it's because of the guy who started it all.
It's been long known that working as an animator in Japan is a pretty grueling job. Long hours and terrible pay have pretty much most animators grumbling and wishing for a "normal lifestyle." A recent news article on Japan's Yahoo News! focused on the reasons for the terrible working conditions for animators in Japan.
Basically, Tezuka did a George Lucas and supported his creation through merchandising and his own money. This lay the groundwork for the anime production model: Make an anime a cheaply as possible and make up the loss through tie-in goods and character merch. Because Tezuka was basically the God of manga in Japan, no one questioned his methods and this became the norm.
Interestingly enough, the man viewed as a modern Master of anime, Hayao Miyazaki openly defied the Tezuka model, creating Studio Ghibli, a production studio that hired animators as employees on a fixed salary rather than temps working on commission.
Other anime studios like Kyoto Animation and P. A. Works set up their studios outside of Tokyo and develop their anime in-house rather than outsourcing, with dormitories and other systems in place to support their animators. Incidentally was P. A. Works that produced that anime series Shirobako – an anime about making anime – which has brought a lot of the problems in anime production to the public spotlight.
Ever wonder how an anime is made?
Ironically, it was the man credited for pretty much founding the anime business in Japan who is responsible for the state it is in now, though that was likely never his intent. Thankfully, more and more people are being made aware of the flawed production system and with luck, there will be more of a movement to fix it. Anime production is currently a truly brutal job, but hopefully it won't have to be. | {

- Method: To achieve the nominal test concentrations 1.00, 2.15, 4.64, 10.00, 21.50 and 46.40 g of test substance were added to the test water using an ultra-turrax stirrer, respectively. A total of 25 minutes were needed from the beginning of test solution preparations until their termination. Once all solutions were ready the fish were subsequently placed then placed into the aquaria. (For all concentrations the fish were placed in the unfiltered test solution, the test solution was only filtered before analysis)

Reported statistics and error estimates:
The LC50 was statistically evaluated from the LC20 value (604.5 mg/l) and the LC100 value (1422.3 mg/l).
LC50 (1 h): > 4640* mg/l
LC50 (4 h): ca. 4640* mg/l
LC50 (24 h): 3474 (2476 - 5906)* mg/l
LC50 (48, 72, 96 h): > 2150 < 4640* mg/l
2 and 10 fish exposed to 2150* and 4640* mg test substance/l died respectively. No deaths were observed at 1000* mg/l and less. Symptoms of toxicity (gasping and slight apathy) were limited to the highest dose groups.

The analytically detected concentrations of the unfiltered samples were initially in the range of 29.5 % - 59.5 % and after about 96 h between 1.2 - 4.4 % of the nominal concentrations.
The analytically detected concentrations of the filtered samples were initially in the range of 0.6 - 2.0 % and after about 96 hours between 0.0 - 1.0 % of the nominal concentrations.
All test solutions showed a certain level of turbidity (milky in colour) and fat-like drops were visible on the water surface, both increasing with each increase in the concentration of the test substance respectively.
Due to the high level of turbidity within the two highest concentrations (2150 and 4640 mg/l) it was necessary to direct the fish the front pane of the aquaria using a net so that observations for fish mortalities or for possible symptoms of toxicity could be made.
In the acute toxicity test to Brachydario rerio with the tested substance a LC50 of 1,216.1 mg/L and an LC100 of 1,422.3 mg/L (96h) was
determined. The test was performed according to OECD guideline no. 203.
The short-term toxicity of the test substance to Brachydanio rerio was tested according to OECD guideline no. 203. The NOEC was 271.3 mg/L, whereas the minimal concentration leading to 100% mortality in the tested species was determined at 1,422.3 mg/L (=LC100). The LC50 (1,261.1 mg/L) was mathematically derived from the LC20 value (604.5 mg/L) and the LC100 value (1,422.3 mg/L).
The target substance and the tested substance are both esters of p-methoxycinnamic acid. Due to this close structural relationship, these two compounds are considered to show comparable ecotoxicological properties. Therefore, the present results are used in a read-across approach to support the findings made in the ready biodegradation study conducted with isopentyl p-methoxycinnamate.

Scenario 2 of the Read Across Assessment Framework (RAAF) is appropriate because it is hypothesised that the target and source substances present similar physico-chemical, environmental and toxicological properties, as a result of their structural similarity (i.e. analogue approach). The source substance 2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate (OMC) contains the same functional groups as Isopentyl p-methoxycinnamate (IMC), differing only in the length of the carbon chain originating from the alcohol.
Physico-chemical properties of the two substances are broadly similar. Both substances are liquids with low melting / freezing points. Both Isopentyl p-methoxycinnamate and 2-Ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate are poorly soluble, with high partition coefficients and low vapour pressure. Relative density values of the two substances are within a narrow range of 1.0104 to 1.04. Boiling point, flash point and auto-ignition temperatures of the two substances are also similar.
Due to the similarity in chemical structure and physico-chemical properties, both substances are expected to behave in a similar manner when released into the environment and the source and target substance are believed to present comparable bioavailability and behave comparably in biological systems.
2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S) (INCLUDING INFORMATION ON PURITY AND IMPURITIES)
Source: 2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate
Target: Isopentyl p-methoxycinnamate
The target substance, Isopentyl p-methoxycinnamate is an organic mono-constituent substance used as a sunscreen agent in cosmetics. The target substance has a typical degree of purity of ≥ 96.5% ≤ 99.93% w/w. Impurities include 3-Methylbutyl (Z)-p-methoxycinnamate (≥ 0.01% ≤ 0.5% w/w); 3-Methylbutyl p-methoxy-dihydrocinnamate (≥ 0.01% ≤ 0.5% w/w); 3-Methylbutyl 3-isopropoxy-3-(p-methoxyphenyl)propionate (≥ 0.01% ≤ 0.5% w/w); 4,4'-Dimethoxystilbene (≥ 0.01% ≤ 0.5% w/w); Pentyl (E)-p-methoxycinnamate (≥ 0.01% ≤ 0.5% w/w); 3-Methylbutyl-3-methyl-p-methoxycinnamate (≥ 0.01% ≤ 0.5% w/w); 3-Methylbutyl p-methoxy-3-(3-methylbutoxy)cinnamate (≥ 0.01% ≤ 0.5% w/w). None of the impurities are considered relevant for the classification and labelling of the substance.
The source substance, 2-Ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate, is also an organic mono-constituent substance used as a sunscreen agent in cosmetics. Details of the source substance purity are not publicly available. However, as a mono-constituent substance a purity ≥80% is required for OMC. Both esters of p-methoxycinnamic acid, IMC and OMC are close structural analogues, differing only in the length of the carbon chain originating from the alcohol. Consequently, the impurity profile is expected to be similar.
3. ANALOGUE APPROACH JUSTIFICATION
As IMC and OMC are structurally similar, ecotoxicity results for the two substances are also expected to be similar. Where data are available on both substances, these 'anchor points' are compared in order to assess the similarity of the two substances. Reliable (Klimisch 1 and 2) studies are available for acute toxicity to Daphnia and toxicity to algae for both substances.
A study is available for IMC for acute toxicity to Daphnia following EU method C2, and a filtered emulsion was tested (Bayer 2000). The EC50 value was determined as the geometric mean of the EC0 and EC100 values, 0.28 mg L-1, based on geometric mean measured concentrations. A second study is available for IMC, but as only a results page is available for the study it is assigned a Klimisch score of 4 (Bayer 1990). The test solutions were prepared by weighing the test item into water and treating in an ultrasonic bath, but the test item was not fully dissolved. The EC50 was reported to be 5.6 mg L-1 (geometric mean of EC0 and EC100). OMC was tested in a study conducted according to OECD 202 and due to the low solubility of the test item the Daphnia were exposed to an eluate of the test item (Proprietary 2003). No inhibitory effects were reported at the limit of solubility and the EC50 was reported as >0.027 mg L-1, based on the median analytical recovery rate after 0 and 48 hours. Both IMC and OMC are poorly soluble and this affected the preparation of the test solutions and the conduct of the studies. OMC showed no inhibitory effects at the limit of solubility, whereas effects were observed for IMC, likely due to the slightly higher solubility of the test item.
Toxicity to algae was assessed for IMC in a GLP-compliant study conducted according to EU method C3 (Bayer 2000). The stock solution was prepared by addition of the test item, stirring and then filtering the emulsion to remove undissolved test item. The 72-hour EC50 was 0.2 mg L-1 (growth rate), and the NOEC was 0.06 mg L-1 (cell density), both based on arithmetic mean measured concentrations. A second study is available, but is assigned a Klimisch score of 4 due to very limited method details being available (Bayer 1994). The study followed OECD guideline 201 and reported 72-hour EC50 values of 0.34 mg L-1 and 0.5 mg L-1 (effect not stated). EC10 values of 0.18 mg L-1 and 0.25 mg L-1 (effect not stated) and a NOEC of 0.13 mg L-1 (cell number) were also reported. For OMC, a study is available following OECD guideline 201 (Proprietary 2000). Test solutions were analysed at 0, 24, 48 and 72 hours but most of the measured concentrations were less than the Limit of Detection. An EC50 value of >100 mg L-1, an EC10 of 65 mg L-1 and a NOEC of 32 mg L-1 (all based on nominal concentrations) were reported. A supporting study also following OECD guideline 201, but with no analysis of test concentrations reported nominal EC10 and EC50 values of >100 mg L-1 (Proprietary 2001). There are apparent differences between the results for IMC and OMC, however as the OMC results are based on nominal concentrations and the study where analysis was conducted showed actual test concentrations less than the Limit of Detection, it is difficult to directly compare the results from the studies.
Acute toxicity to fish data are available for both substances, however the data for IMC is assigned a Klimisch score of 4 due to a summary page and not a full test report being available (Bayer 1998). Based on the available results fish are clearly the least sensitive species for both substances. The study with IMC reports a 96-hour LC50 of 2691 mg L-1 (LC0/LC100), and the studies with OMC report LC50 values of 1216 mg L-1 (statistically evaluated from the LC20 and LC100 value) and >100 mg L-1 (BASF 1998, Proprietary 2000). Both substances were tested at concentrations well above their limit of solubility. Results for other ecotoxicity endpoints show that IMC may be more toxic in the aquatic environment than OMC, which is likely to be due to the slightly higher solubility of the test item. For this reason, read across is not used for the most sensitive ecotoxicity endpoints (Daphnia and algae), meaning that classification of IMC is driven by data for the substance itself, and the PNECs are also based on IMC data. However, as fish are the least sensitive endpoint and the available data for IMC itself shows an EC50 value well above those for Daphnia and algae, read across is considered to be appropriate for this endpoint in order to reduce vertebrate testing. As both substances are structurally very similar, toxicity to aquatic organisms is likely to be similar, aside from the differences in solubility.

Results with reference substance (positive control):
Validity criteria fulfilled:
In the acute toxicity test to Brachydario rerio with the test substance a LC0 of 1600 mg/L and an LC100 of 4526 mg/L was
determined. As only a result page is available no detailed information on the perfomance of the test (e.g. use of
controls, experminental conditions) or detailed results (e.g. graph of the concentration-mortality curve; statistical data) are given.
The short-term toxicity of the test item to Brachydanio rerio was tested in a 96h-Test. The highest concentration which did not cause mortality was 1,600 mg /L (=LC0), whereas the minimal concentration leading to 100% mortality in the tested fish was determined at 4,526 mg/L (=LC100).
The test substance is not acutely toxic to fish (LC50 = 1216 mg/L). No effects within water solubility were observed (LC50 > water solubility).
LC50 for freshwater fish:
In the study with isopentyl p-methoxycinnamate itself, the highest concentration which did not cause mortality was determined to be 1,600 mg/L (=LC0), whereas the minimal concentration leading to 100% mortality in the tested fish was determined at 4,526 mg/L (=LC100). The geometric mean of these two values, which is considered to represent the LC50 value, was calculated to be 2,691 mg/L. All tested concentrations are far above the water solubility (WS = 0.8 mg/L). Thus, no effects within the water solubility were observed. As only a result page is available and thus no details on the study are available, the reliability of this study cannot be assessed and therefore a reliability level of 4 (not assignable) is given to this study. Together with the test of a read-across substance, the test is used in a weight of evidence approach.
The short-term toxicity study with the structurally similar 2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate with Brachydanio rerio showed the following results: The NOEC was 271.3 mg/L, whereas the minimal concentration leading to 100% mortality in the tested fish was determined at 1,422.3 mg/L (=LC100). The LC50 value (1,261.1 mg/L) was mathematically derived from the LC20 value (604.5 mg/L) and the LC100 value (1,422.3 mg/L). As well for this study, the tested concentrations are far above the water solubility of the substance (WS < 1 mg/L) and no effects within the water solubility were observed.
The LC50 value (1,261.1 mg/L) of 2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate is in the same range as the LC50 value (2,691 mg/L) of isopentyl p-methoxycinnamate. Both substances are esters of p-methoxycinnamic acid and therefore show close chemical relationship. The assumption that 2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate has comparable ecotoxicological properties for fish is supported by the results of the two short-term toxicity studies with fish. Therefore, both tests were used as Weight of Evidence approach. As worst case the lower LC50 of the two studies is used for chemical safety assessment (LC50 = 1261 mg/L for 2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate).
Furthermore the acute tests with daphnia and algae of isopentyl p-methoxycinnamate showed that the tests which were rated as RL4 due to the missing information on the test performance (only result page available) are in a similar range with the results of the available GLP guideline studies. Thus, it is assumed that a GLP guideline study with fish will be in the same range of effects (LC50 > water solubility). Due to animal welfare and as Daphnia and algae showed to be the much more sensitive species, an additional acute fish test is considered as not needed to assess this endpoint. See attached read across justification report fot full details of the read across approach.

Brothers Golan and Gilad Flam are bumping along a dirt track in their pickup truck as it climbs a grade in the Judean Hills of central Israel. The limestone that dominates one of the country's most promising and beautiful winegrowing regions rises in a dun-colored striated formation around them. Above it, the hills, rich with pines, oaks and scrub, lead almost to the gates of Jerusalem.
In this draw at about 2,000 feet above sea level, the hustle and bustle of modern Israel seems distant. The country's largest and most vibrant city, Tel Aviv, lies 30 miles to the northwest, but these hills are indisputably at the country's winemaking frontier. If the truck were to keep going, it would very soon enter the Palestinian territories of the West Bank. It's a quiet and serene landscape that belies the region's violent and storied past.
"This vineyard is a great combination of the terra rossa soil and limestone bedrock," Golan says of the site, which is west of the village of Mata. He's the winemaker at his family's namesake winery nearby; he studied winemaking at Piacenza University near Milan and did an internship at Tuscany's Carpineto winery. Terra rossa (Italian for "red soil") is an ochre-colored clay-based mix that is rich with iron oxide and provides the drainage necessary for healthy vineyards; limestone is the geological constituent of some of the world's greatest terroirs, Burgundy among them.
One of Flam's top reds is called Classico, and its fruit comes from the Judean Hills, including the vineyard near Mata. A Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend that includes Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot, the 2013 ($35) rated 90 points on Wine Spectator's 100-point scale. Minerally, savory and rich, with plenty of dark fruit flavors, it deftly transmits the soil and climate of the region, as well as the human capital that went into its creation—all the hallmarks of aterroir-driven wine.
Following a boom beginning in the early 2000s, driven by Israelis' search for quality from their native land and by a dawning appreciation for its wines in both Europe and America, the wine industry in the Jewish state is transforming at a rapid rate. Where overoaked reds and candied whites once dominated, fresher wines are now appearing amid a young and expanding wine culture that is striving to secure its identity. But with only 13,500 acres of vineyards—a little less than one-quarter that of California's Sonoma County—its place on the world stage will remain small for the foreseeable future.
The Judean Hills is one of the epicenters of emerging quality. It lies in the middle of the country, which is about the size of New Jersey. To the north, two regions share the spotlight: the Golan Heights, a volcanic plateau that rises east from the Jordan River to the Syrian border; and the rugged Galilee, west of the Jordan, where the best sites are in highlands that abut Lebanon. Israeli vintners are also tapping sources in the Negev desert in the south, which many consider a contender for quality in the future.
Customers seeking kosher options remain the principal buyers of Israeli wines, but retailers say there's growing interest among nonkosher buyers. "We see a mix of customers-people who are interested in kosher wines, those familiar with Israel from a tourism standpoint, and those who have read press on the region," says Melissa Devore, vice president of wine buying for Maryland-based Total Wine & More.
I sampled more than 100 wines during a visit to Israel this spring and followed up with blind tastings in our New York office. Overall, among the 120 wines I reviewed in official blind tastings, more than 30 scored an outstanding 90 points or higher on Wine Spectator's 100-point scale, the best performance yet from this small nation. For a complete discussion of the most recently released wines from Israel, see my tasting report.
Today, and likely for the near term, the preferences of Israelis and the most accessible terroirs will remain firmly rooted in red grapes. But there is a growing consensus among Israel's best winemakers that a new generation of white wines will be an important part of the mix. And based on my tastings—especially of well-structured Rhône-style white blends, minerally Chardonnays and fruity Sauvignon Blancs—the evidence is strong.
As Israeli vintners have honed their skills in the vineyards and cellars over the past two decades, quality has risen appreciably; wineries are also much better equipped. It's a significant accomplishment for a nation of only 8.5 million people for whom survival, rather than the conviviality of wine, was paramount until recently.
Still, per-capita consumption remains low, about half that of the United States, with many Israelis forgoing wine for religious reasons. As a result, vintners must search for markets abroad. Shipments out of the country were up 10 percent in value in 2014 from 2013 and amounted to $40 million, or about 20 percent of Israel's total production, according to the Israel Export and International Cooperation Institute; about half of that went to the U.S. It's difficult, but not impossible, to make a living from wine in the Holy Land. Today, about 250 wineries call Israel home, the vast majority of them mom-and-pop operations encouraged by a nascent interest in wine among the locals and visitors to the country.
"Israelis are going more and more to wineries, and so are the tourists, not only to Jerusalem for the history but for a taste of Israel," says Israel Flam, the founding patriarch of his family winery, which opened in 1998.
Flam gets its fruit from local vineyards (such as the one at Mata) and also from sources in the northern part of the country, including the Galilee. Other producers draw from the Golan Heights. But almost none own vines; the state of Israel holds title to most rural land. Even today, many agricultural operations are overseen by the collectives known as kibbutzes, which date to the earliest days of the Jewish settlement of Palestine in the 19th century.
"In Israel, you cannot own land. You lease it long-term. It's a big problem," says Eran Pick of Tzora winery, also in the Judean Hills. With ownership comes responsibility and ultimate oversight. A former military helicopter pilot, Pick makes some of the best wines Israel has to offer, and he is currently the only Israeli to hold the coveted Master of Wine degree. His Judean Hills 2014 white (92, $30), a luscious mix of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, is a revelation. Tzora's wines have found a place at top Manhattan restaurants such as the Modern, a Wine Spectator Grand Award winner.
Tzora's impressive whites are a seeming paradox in a land dominated by the deserts that surround it, from the Negev in the south to the Judean to the east. The prevailing wisdom is that hot climates and white wines don't mix. But in higher elevations, the air cools, and pockets of exemplary quality can thrive if carefully nurtured. The higher altitudes favored by top producers such as Tzora help slow maturation, as do cooling breezes from the Mediterranean, offsetting the strong summer sun at this latitude. In most vineyards, harvest begins in July and is finished by August.
Pick epitomizes the new generation of Israeli winemakers. He is a graduate of the University of California, Davis, and has done stages at Château Lafite Rothschild in Bordeaux, Torbreck in Australia and J in California—experiences he shares with many of his peers. "The young winemakers are very knowledgeable and have traveled the world. There's a lot of sharing," Pick says. He's also open to outside advice. Consulting for Tzora is Jean-Claude Berrouet, formerly of Château Pétrus. He's lent a French finesse to Tzora's wines.
Pick's wines are kosher, as are most made by Israeli wineries, a trend that has strengthened over the past few years. However, also like most Israeli winemakers, Pick is not certified to make kosher wines without the assistance of an Orthodox observant Jew. This means he cannot touch any of the fermenting wine, barrels or winemaking equipment.
Although being kosher provides ready access to an ethnic market in the U.S., home to almost as many Jews as Israel, it doesn't do much to sway most other wine drinkers and has little apparent bearing on wine quality, except for the burdens it imposes on winemakers such as Pick in finding good help. In Israel, the kosher designation is almost mandatory, given rising demand among the religious and nonreligious alike. More important for Pick, however, is the burgeoning reputation of Israeli wines in general. "Up until five or six years ago, [Israeli wines] were on the kosher shelf. Now they are on the Israeli shelf," Pick says.
Just a few hundred yards downhill from Tzora, on a chalky slope in the Sorek Valley, sits one of Israel's most unique vineyards. It covers about 7.5 acres and is home to bush-trained Carignan vines, a rarity in Israel, where modern wire-and-trellis setups are standard. Planted in 1991 by an Arab Christian grower, it today supplies grapes for one of Israel's best reds, from Recanati winery. The 2014 Carignan Wild Reserve rated 91 points ($50).
Recanati winemaker Ido Lewinsohn stumbled across the vineyard by chance. "I was driving here, and I was working in the Languedoc [in southern France] at the time with bush vines. I said, 'There are no bush vines in Israel,' but here they were," Lewinsohn recalls.
Today, the Recanati team, under the ownership of successful financier Lenny Recanati, is carefully nurturing and replanting the vineyard vine by vine. There's no supplemental irrigation for the vines; a paltry 16 inches of rain falls annually at the site.
"We are going to make much taller gobelet," says Recanati CEO Noam Jacoby, using the French term for bush vines. "We are one of the few wineries with dry-farmed surface in Israel. We think this is a good way to stress the vines and make the roots go deeper. The vines are hardier as a result." Production is naturally controlled as well. "The growth rate of Israeli vines is very, very high," given the warm and generally beneficent climate, he explains.
Recanati made news last year with a white wine made from the Marawi grape, native to the West Bank, where it is grown by Palestinian villagers for eating, not winemaking. Its lineage dates to the Roman era; when the new wine was released, it was billed as offering a taste of what may have been drunk in biblical times. Israel was a major source of wine production for the Byzantine Empire, and wine has deep roots in Jewish culture.
Enologist Eliyashiv Drori of Ariel University, also located on the West Bank, discovered Marawi's ancient origins. He and others have tentatively identified dozens of ancient varieties in the region, sometimes from seeds discovered at archaeological sites.
"We are 100 percent certain [Marawi] is a local variety and it is an ancient variety. The grower is a Palestinian Muslim whom we don't have much contact with," says Lewinsohn, who worked for a time at the Italian icon Sassicaia. The grapes are grown near Bethlehem, in the Occupied Territories of the West Bank. Lewinsohn says the grower was found through Drori.
The wine's label is printed in Hebrew, Arabic and English in a bid for cultural harmony and accommodation. The 2014 vintage (90, $35) is labeled Judean Hills. "It was important to put the three languages on the label. It doesn't belong to anybody. It's from the land of Israel," says Recanati's head winemaker, Gil Schatsberg, a graduate of the viticultural and enology program at U.C., Davis.
Still, wines made by Israelis from West Bank grapes will probably remain part of a broader political battle, as pressure grows externally and domestically to boycott products made by Israelis from sources within the Occupied Territories.
The West Bank provides fertile ground for discovery. With its high altitudes, limestone-rich soils and wealth of long-overlooked grapes grown by local farmers, many of them Palestinians and Israeli Arabs, the region may prove to be the proverbial Garden of Eden for indigenous varieties.
The wine industry was integral to the founding of the modern state of Israel. This springs mostly from the efforts of Edmond de Rothschild, son of James de Rothschild, who purchased Château Lafite in 1868. Edmond was a strong supporter of the movement for the return of Jews to Israel, known as Zionism.
In 1882, he helped establish Carmel winery, which until the 1980s accounted for 60 percent of Israel's total output and today is the nation's second-largest producer after Barkan, near Tel Aviv. Carmel makes just under a million bottles a year, and its growers farm 3,500 acres, 25 percent of Israel's vineyard total.
Rothschild financing helped plant vineyards and build Carmel's historic winery near the village of Zikhron Ya'akov, south of the city of Haifa, which operates to this day and serves as the firm's headquarters. Carmel was set up as a cooperative venture to turn the grapes into wine for collective economic benefit. Carmel had the first electrical system and telephone in Palestine. Three men who would later become Israeli prime ministers worked in its vineyards, including the nation's first, David Ben-Gurion.
But as with most wine cooperatives, quality largely took a backseat to quantity so that the firm could make and sell as much wine for its members as possible. "Carmel kept the wine industry going for 100 years, even if there wasn't quality," says Adam Montefiore, who was Carmel's president of marketing until recently.
Amid foundering finances, Carmel was sold in 2013 to a group of investors that included American Eagle clothing magnate Jay Schottenstein. The producer is no longer run as a co-op. The head winemaker is Lior Laxer, and since joining Carmel in 2005, he has been overseeing near-constant renovations. His vision is to make fresher wines, partly by reducing the influence of oak aging and fermentation, which mute the vibrancy in many Israeli bottlings. Judging from preliminary tastings in Carmel's cellar at Zikhron Ya'akov, the results are positive, especially for the whites.
"We are moving away from barrels, to vats [both stainless steel and cement]," says Laxer, who trained in Burgundy, staging there and in Bordeaux and Australia. He oversees a team of eight winemakers. "We do struggle to make fresh, fruity wines, but the vats will help. We love the cement tanks because the wine ages much better [in them] than in stainless," he explains. Several cement tanks, up to 5,000 liters in size and some dating to the mid-20th century, have been retooled to that end.
Judean Hills vintner Shuki Yashuv of Agur winery cautiously echoes that sentiment. He has made a Syrah-Mourvèdre blend called Layam since 2010; the 2013 scored 89 points ($37). "It remains a niche wine. The Israelis like [Bordeaux] blends, though they are starting to drink Syrah." He may be open to other southern grapes as well. "I have a protégée who is studying varieties from Rhodes and Crete," he says, referring to the Greek islands.
At Ortal winery in the Golan Heights, Lahat both consults and makes his own wines from Ortal's grapes. The land here is within sight of the Syrian border and lies at about 3,000 feet above sea level; the soils are based on volcanic basalts. The Lahat red from 2014 is a blend of 85 percent Syrah and 15 percent Cabernet Sauvignon. It is medium-bodied and very elegant, like a Northern Rhône red. "It's a consensus among winemakers that Syrah is the red for Israel. Stop. Period," Lahat declares. He also sees a future for Viognier. "I think it is one of the best white varieties for Israel," he observes.
South from Ortal is the Golan Heights winery, which was the first breakout venture to establish a quality reputation for Israel with its Yarden reds and whites in the 1980s. Early on, it received subsidies from the Israeli government as a means to establish claim over the region, which was captured from Syria in the Six-Day War in 1967. Given the current political upheaval in Syria, the dispute over the status of the Golan, which Israel annexed in 1981, seems moot.
Political struggles in the Golan and West Bank aside, the status of many Israeli vineyards remains an open question. In a damaging blow, many of the grapevines imported into Israel in the 2000s and then planted were found to be infected with the leafroll virus, which can slowly strangle grapevine productivity and affect wine quality by disrupting ripening. The only known cure is replanting. With that in mind, Golan Heights has established a certified virus-free nursery, complete with hazmat-suit protocols, that will supply growers throughout the nation; in the years ahead, it may become the font for revamping almost half of Israel's vineyards.
The Israeli wine industry has faced many gauntlets in its young life. Its vintners have persevered and many have prospered, though the path has not always been straightforward. Challenges remain as the country continues to grow and mature in the 21st century, but the determination of its winemakers and grapegrowers is not in doubt. | {

BMW And Rolls-Royce Cavalcade Testing In Death Valley, Luxury SUV Included
Author: Cristian Gnaticov Published Date: December 17, 2017 Leave a Comment on BMW And Rolls-Royce Cavalcade Testing In Death Valley, Luxury SUV Included
Testing continues for the new Rolls-Royce SUV, as the latest prototype was scooped in Death Valley alongside a variety of test cars from both the British luxury brand and BMW.
Roll's first ever SUV will rival the Bentley Bentayga, and will also be a more luxurious alternative to the Range Rover SVAutobiography and Lamborghini Urus.
Although its design is still kept under wraps, we do have a pretty clear picture of what it will look like, based on recent spy shots and renderings.
The luxury SUV will share quite a few things with the new generation Phantom, including its aluminum platform. However, the "high-sided all-terrain motor car", which is Rolls' way of referring to it, will get a new all-wheel drive system in addition to various chassis and suspension settings, which will allow it to perform not only the tarmac, but off-road as well.
Despite being, for a long time, called the Cullinan, after the famous diamond mined in South Africa in 1905 that is the largest rough one ever found, Rolls-Royce has made it clearthat this was a "working title" and the production version of its SUV will bear a different name.

Emergency Small Dollar Loan "Payday Park Co Legit". The track record for most people that have bad credit for obtaining a loan from a traditional bank is actually very minimal. Very few people that go to a lending institution that have bad credit are able to get any type of financing because they are going to base their decision upon their credit score. A payday loan company is different from a traditional bank and that they are not concerned about credit ratings at all. They just need to know that you make money, have a paycheck coming in, and based upon that they will provide you with funding. You can get short-term loans for bad credit by using Payday Park Co Legit, and read reviews.
Looking for Payday Park Co Legit. Overnight Payday advances. We provide funds $1000. Take away Your hard earned money in Sixty minutes. Get compensated Tonite.
From your perspective of your lender, the one that is looking at the credit history of any individual that is requesting a certain amount of money, they will base their decision almost entirely upon the score. If it is very high, that shows that you are currently trustworthy as you a serious payments punctually which is why your credit rating is above average. If it is below average, they may typically reject anyone that is available in simply because they feel that you are currently not worth getting these funds. They are also worried that you will not pay for the loan off, something which pay day loan companies usually are not concerned with.
These businesses justify all of the loans which they give out by just taking a look at someone's paychecks. In case you have received a regular paycheck for several years, and you have been with the exact same company for a long time, they already have no reason at all to reject you. Some individuals have bad luck, or have encountered more bills compared to what they will pay on account of unexpected circumstances. They recognize what is happening, and based upon because you are gainfully employed, and also have a paycheck coming in, they are going to issue you with a short-term loan.
You will get the loan over the following day or two if you can to perform only a few things. Firstly, submit your application. The second thing that you have to do is show definitive proof your next paycheck will be arriving in and also to show them that amount. Once you request money, with your net amount, ask for under the funds which you will receive. This may guarantee you will probably have the ideal chance of obtaining a loan from this company, and enable you to manage your bills. | {

Editor's Note: Today I am happy to introduce you to Ana (read a bit more about her at the end of the post), who will take us on a trip to beautiful Prague to see what the niche pefume world there has to offer the discerning Perfumista. Please join me in giving Ana a warm welcome and a big Thank You for this helpful post.
If you happen to be around Prague, wandering on its ancient streets, wondering if there is any place you can smell or buy niche perfumes, here is the list.
Just a note before we start: all the shops are centrally located, but are quite small, and literally hard to find, so pay attention to the exact addresses if you don't find them in the first place.
All owners are up to date with novelties on the market so you will find new brands in their stores in the near future.
Mrs. Rudicova and her husband are the pioneers in this field in Czech Republic. They started their shop in 2004 with the French apothecary makeup brand T. Leclerc, L'Artisan Parfumeur and Annick Goutal. And they had instant success: rice powders by T.LeClerc and natural perfumes sold like gold in the post-communist young market that was thirsty for such luxury products.
The name of the shop is inspired by the Place de la Madeleine in Paris, the place where they decided to start this business.
One by one they then added the perfume brands: The Different Company, Parfums de Rosine, Floris, Grossmith, Amouage, Carthusia, Rancé, Naomi Goodsir, Jardin d'Ecrivains, Jovoy, and most recently Le Galion and the marvellous cosmetic range Une Nuit a Bali.
With exquisite artistic talent and excellent knowledge in the field, Mrs. Rudicova will tell you wonderful stories about perfumes and will for sure find something suitable for you. She strongly believes that the one main thing that differentiates niche and author perfume brands from mass market is the quality of the ingredients that they use. The question she asks is "Where is the truth behind the product, behind marketing?" And the answer is straight forward: "in the passion of the "nose" for the best materials and in the quality of the time".
The shop is intimate and beautifully decorated in a classical style.
A new addition to this market, the shop is located on a winding street that brings you to the famous Old Town Square. The moment you enter shop the shop you find yourself surrounded by the largest selection of niche brands in Prague. The owners started their business in the beauty field in the early 90's in Samara, Russia and are really passionate about perfume.
Pavel and Elena will give you interesting details about the people behind the brand, as they know most of them personally. Their approach is warm and friendly, and will find yourself captivated by the stories of perfumes they tell. You can choose from a wide variety from the classical Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier, Houbigant, MDCI, Isabey, Montale, Panouge to more modern like Alyson Oldoini, Atelier Flou, Evody, Franck Boclet, Guilietta Capuleti, M. Micallef or the really young and trendy The Vagabond Price, Viktoria Minya and Jul et Mad.
The website also serves as comprehensive encyclopaedia of ingredients, and I do recommend browsing it for improving your general knowledge on perfumes.
Their credo and inspiration for naming the shop is "Be an egoist, spoil yourself with high quality perfumes", so indulge and visit their shop if you are in town.
Launched back in 2012, the store has a modern, minimalist approach where the product is king: no superfluous decorations, just perfumes.
What you will find in Jakub's store is a great selection of famous niche brands, creating cohesion with their contemporary brand style. The owner has a long history in the beauty field, starting as a beauty editor for ELLE magazine when he was 18 and then continuing in marketing for luxury brands. It was during these times that he discovered the refined universe of niche perfumery.
Jakub has a savvy approach to the store's promotion, understanding very well the added value of PR. That is why his business is successful and his shop is always full. The idea of strong individuality and coherence is highlighted by that fact all selected brands have a modern, contemporary feel to them . The price range is generous, allowing for all types of clients to find something suitable.
You will find resonant names: Dyptique, Francis Kurkdijan, Kilian, Byredo, Amouage, Nasomatto, Histoires de Parfums, Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle, Aedes de Venustas, Mona di Orio, Comme des Garcons, LM Parfums, Boadicea The Victorious, Clive Christian or Escentric Molecules.
There are also cosmetic brands such as Eve Lom, Sisley, Aesop, Egyptian Magic, the Super Elixir dietary supplements or candles from Cire Trudon.
Ingredients is among the few shops around the world to stock both fragrances for women and men by the French luxe brand By Kilian.
You can tell Jakub is a connaisseur by the way he talks about perfume, underlining the importance of quality ingredients, and therefore naming his shop similarly. He believes that in order to create a great perfume, a "nose" must be both a great chemist and an artist.
And there is more coming up: there will be a whole floor dedicated to cosmetics starting in June 2015, so don't miss Ingredients if you visit Prague.
Opened in September 2014, Royal Perfumery has the most accessible location, on the commercial street Vaclavske Namesti. The shop is small, but elegant and both the manager, Diana, and the sales personnel enjoy talking to their clients and sharing the perfume stories. In fact they take training very seriously. Understanding and feeling the brand is crucial for introducing the right brand to the right type of client, Diana mentioned. At the Royal Perfumery you will even find the rare and spectacular perfume fountains from Caron.
The selection of brands is eclectic, so chances are you will find a fragrance that suits you: Puredistance, Caron, M. Micaleff, House of Sillage, Bond No.9, Tiziana Terenzi, Robert Piguet, Giulietta Capuleti, Cuarzo Ramon Bejar, Alexandre J, Paul Emilien, Houbigant, Taylor of Old Bond Street and Floris.
The name of the brand is meant to be cross cultural and appeal to all potential clients, both locals and tourists.
The opening hours are generous, you can drop by 7 days a week until 10 pm in the evening.
I hope you will enjoy your stay in Prague and pay a visit to at least some of these niche brand perfumeries. If you have already visited, please let us know about your experiences.
My name is Ana-Maria. I am a perfume lover, fascinated by the sense of smell. Ever since the first time I walked into a niche perfumery 8 years ago, I knew this was going to be a long love story. What I enjoy most is finding out new stories about scent and sharing them on my blog smell-spell.com.
I am a perpetual discoverer in the field of quality, memorable and beyond fashion perfumery. I believe in "slow scent", in taking the time to choose a fragrance, in allowing the natural steps to happen: listening to the story behind the brand and the perfume, smelling, trying on, feeling and only after that buying.
I am Romanian, living in Prague with my family.

Hi Ana-Maria! Nice to meet you!
Thank you for the guide: I hope to use it one day (hopefully soon) since I always wanted to visit Prague.
Hello and thank you for your remarks and for visiting my blog. It seems I am doing some touristic promotion around here :), but it is definitely a reference city for Europe.
Thank you for that lovey post. I have not been to Prague for more than 15 years…may be I should think of changing that.
Looking forward to your visit Sandra! 🙂 Thank you.
Hi Ana-Maria! Wow wow wow… Gosh I love Prague so much, but I would love to go back armed with this article and have a wander around. How wonderful.
I also like your terminology of 'slow scent', and your blog looks very interesting. Nice to 'meet' you and thanks for the article.
Tina thank you so much! Prague is a beautiful city and I wouldn't live anywhere else. It has a great combination of lifestyle, peace and quiet, and affordability. As for my blog, I am working on a face lift so, keep close:).
Welcome to OT Ana-Maria! Thank you for your wonderful post.
Like Undina, I have wanted to visit Prague for a very long time. Now I have an extra incentive to go. All the perfumeries seem to have something different to offer and such passionate owners too. I like the way they tend to stock cosmetics as well.
All the best for your blog – sounds great.
Thank you Tara for the kind words! Yes, 3 of them stock cosmetics- and one of them will have an entire floor of these launched June, I'll keep you updated.
Thank you Annette! Naomi Goodsir is quite a find- when I last visited about a month ago, they had already brought her newest, Or du Serail. It is tabac with notes of plum. I think it will be next on my list:).
Thank you so much for this post. My husband is going there for a conference in August and I was in two minds about going with him (a long way from Australia!) but it seems to be a more interesting destination than I had thought…even the buildings are stunning!
Yes Jackie, the architecture is fantastic and the buildings are well kept. Don't hesitate if you have a choice of coming, you will enjoy it. August is still lovely here, compared to autumn , so go for it.
Thanks for this great overview of Prague's perfumeries, which will be a useful reference for fumeheads visiting the area. And such lovely photos too! I have been to Prague a few times, both for work and pleasure, but only once since I seriously got into perfume – 7 years ago in my case. On that visit I only got to see a Starbucks and a big Tesco on the ring road.
Vanessa, next time you come, you should definitely visit these shops, are at least some of them. Everyone speaks good English and they are very welcoming.
Prague is fabulous, what a city. When we were there in 2013 we saw none of the ones you mention (that were open at the time). we did stumble across a couple of Niche stores but I can't remember much except one was owned by a larger than life Russian man who had a really great selection.
Jin's favourite thing about the Czech Republic is your cuisine, he ate like there was no tomorrow.
This is such a helpful post, thanks a lot Ana-Maria! Prague is one of my favorite cities and now I have one more argument to go there again.
Hi Anka, it is a lovely city plus the prices are moderate.:) Defintely worth a visit.
Thank you so much Ana-Maria for this fascinating trip around Prague niche perfumeries. I live in the neighborhood as I'm Polish but it's been a while since I visited Prague last time. The next time I'm there, i will definitely pay attention to visit at least one of the mentioned places.
I love the minnimalistic look and white walls with white shelves of Ingredients, reminds me of style of one of the niche perfumeries in Warsaw.
It was actually a pleasure to write this.:) Thank you too. Ingredients is the coolest of them, but that fact that most of them have various brands is a big plus.
Wonderful photos – I'd like to visit them all! I also enjoy your blog and how you approach perfume selection. Thank you!
Hi! Thank you for the kind words! Please, do come and visit.
great information for planning a visit, Prague is so fascinating.
Hello Lucy.It is indeed beautiful.
Unfortunately, the first picture is not from Prague. This is Karlovy Vary.
Hello Dzona, I think you are right. These are the pictures the owners supplied and I know they also have a shop there. However, the facade of Madeleine is quite similar to the one in Prague.
Hi there. You should definitely come visit! I have just been to Dresden in November and was impressed by the Zwinger and its collection.
Hello,Ana Maria!I'm a Romanian Ana Maria too,a fellow perfume lover and I live in Dublin.I just wanted to say Hi,and I'll definitely drop by your blog.Thank you very much for the great article.☺!
Salut Ana! Happy to hear that! And thank you for commenting over here. 🙂 Pe curand, sper.
Hello Ana-Maria! 🙂 Lovely write-up going on here. The niche perfume scene in Prague has exploded considerably since my last visit to it in summer of 2012… I only wish I'd seen all of these perfume retailers then!
Thank you! Well, maybe it's time to revisit soon:). | {

When someone is admitted to a hospital for an illness, the hope is that medical care and treatment will help them them feel better. However, nosocomial infections—infections acquired in a health-care setting—are becoming more prevalent and are associated with an increased mortality rate worldwide. This is largely due to the misuse of antibiotics, allowing some bacteria to become resistant. Furthermore, when an antibiotic wipes out the "good" bacteria that comprise the human microbiome, it leaves a patient vulnerable to opportunistic infections that take advantage of disruptions to the gut microbiota.
One such bacteria, Clostridium difficile, is of growing concern world-wide since it is resistant to many different antibiotics. When a patient is treated with an antibiotic, C. difficile can thrive in the intestinal tract without other bacteria populating the gut. C. difficile infection is the leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. While symptoms can be mild, aggressive infection can lead to pseudomembranous colitis—a severe inflammation of the colon which can be life-threatening.
C. difficile causes disease by releasing two large toxins, TcdA and TcdB. Understanding the role these toxins play in colonic disease is important for treatment strategies. However, most published research data only report the effects of the toxins independently. A 2016 study demonstrated a method of comparing the toxins side-by-side using the same time points and cell assays to investigate the role each toxin plays in the cell death that leads to disease of the colon.
Chumbler et al. discovered that the toxins induce cell death in a concentration-dependent manner. TcdA toxin caused apoptotic cell death via glucosyltransferase activity at all concentration levels. TcdB exposure only caused apoptosis at low concentrations of toxin, but when cells were treated with a high concentration, the TcdB toxin instead induced necrotic cell death by reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.
To make these observations, the researchers developed a model using young adult mouse colonic (YAMC) epithelial cells. These cells express a temperature-sensitive version of simian virus 40 (SV40) T antigen—an oncoprotein that suppresses p53. When cultured at 33°C, p53 is suppressed and the cells are anti-apoptotic. When the temperature conditions rise to 37°C, p53 is activated and the YAMC cells undergo normal apoptosis.
With this cell culture model, Chumbler et al. measured cell viability in the presence of TcdA and TcdB toxins using the CellTiter Glo® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay. At 33°C (p53 suppressed), they found that TcdA did not cause cell death. TcdB-treated cells survived at low concentrations, but were killed at high concentrations ≥0.1nM of the toxin, suggesting that cell death at high concentrations of TcdB was not driven by apoptosis. When the cell culture conditions changed to 37°C (p53 activated), both TcdA and TcdB caused cell death at all concentrations, suggesting both toxins utilized apoptosis.
High concentrations of TcdB also induced cytotoxicity faster than TcdA. Using the CytoTox™ Glo Assay, the researchers treated the YAMC cells with concentrations of TcdA and TcdB and assessed cell membrane integrity over time at 2h, 4h, 8h, and 24h intervals. TcdB treatment caused necrotic cytotoxicity as early as 2h and up to 8h at concentrations ≥0.1nM. Low concentrations of TcdB—along with the range of TcdA treatment—only caused cell death at the 24h time point.
Finally, Chumbler et al. further investigated the mechanism of apoptotic cell death using the Apo-ONE™ Homogeneous Caspase-3/7 Assay in response to TcdA and TcdB intoxication. Caspase-3/7 activation increased in a concentration-dependent response to TcdA treatment. Low concentrations of TcdB showed caspase-3/7 activity, but apoptotic cell death was not observed at high concentrations ≥0.1nM. Along with the cell viability and cytotoxicity data, this research demonstrates that TcdB toxicity can switch between apoptotic or necrotic cell death at different concentrations.
Further understanding of how these toxins work mechanistically can help inform the development of treatments to prevent disease. A vaccine or antibody-based therapy that targets these toxins can provide immunity from infection. Research into therapies that utilize non-pathogenic strains of C. difficile bacteria also has potential. Currently, the best way to treat a C. difficile infection is by using antibiotics—only time will tell if a better, more targeted treatment becomes available before circulating strains of C. difficile become super resistant.

By Adrienne Rivera. Apr 6, 2017. 9:00 AM.
Creativity attracts creativity. It's true: creative minds often gravitate to one another. Perhaps this is why it is not uncommon to see couples formed after two people come together in a shared desire to create something meaningful, important, and lasting. Here's a list of famous and creative writers whose relationships with their spouses were forged by a mutual love of everything from aviation to photography.
In this day and age when air travel is commonplace, Charles Lindbergh remains a hero. His landmark first solo transatlantic flight represents the zenith of American exploration and intrepidity, and the kidnapping and murder of his son still intrigues.
His wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, though not as huge a figure in American history, is not without her own considerable accomplishments. She was the first women to earn a first-class glider pilot's license, and she often flew with her husband, charting air routes and exploring. Mrs. Lindbergh wrote and published fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Her first book, North to the Orient (1935), won the National Book Award as did her second book, Listen! The Wind (1938).
In 1940, she wrote a pro-fascism pamphlet titled The Wave of the Future. The Roosevelt administration attacked this book and the Lindberghs for being Nazi supporters. They lost much of their acclaim. However, in the years after World War II, the books Anne Morrow Lindbergh published were commercially successful and garnered new support for the couple. Likewise, her inspirational book Gift from the Sea was the number one best selling nonfiction book of 1955.
Author Anne Rice is renowned for her now classic portrayal of vampires in her Gothic series of novels, The Vampire Chronicles. Many of these books feature lines and excerpts from the works of her late husband, poet and artist Stan Rice. Mr. Rice's first book of poetry, Some Lamb, was inspired by the death of his daughter, Michele, in 1975. His second book, Whiteboy (1976), was the recipient of the Edgar Allan Poe Award from the Academy of American Poets. He published eight poetry collections, one being the posthumous collection, False Prophet. He also published an art book titled Paintings. Stan Rice can be credited for encouraging Anne to quit her job as a waitress to focus on writing. The couple also urged their son, Christopher Rice, to publish his novels, which have also received critical acclaim.
Today, Mary Shelley is a household name thanks to works like Frankenstein. She is rightly credited for her contributions both to the horror and apocalyptic genres; however, during her lifetime, her husband, poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, was the more well-known writer. In fact, Mrs. Shelley cemented Mr. Shelley's place within the literary canon by devoting herself to editing and seeing her husband's work published after his death. It wasn't until after she succeeded in editing a complete collection of her husband's work that she devoted herself to her own novels. Shortly after her death, Mary Shelley's complete works and letters were published, and she became recognized as a major player in the Romantic movement.
It seems unnecessary to mention that Stephen King is likely the most successful commercial writer of this age. To fans of the horror master, his wife Tabitha King is best known for pulling his discarded Carrie manuscript out of the garbage and making sure it was finished and published. However, she and King originally met in a creative writing class in which he was highly impressed with her poetry, seeing her as the more skilled of the pair. And arguably, they are both famous writers in their own right. Mrs. King has published short stories, novels, and poetry. Many of her stories take place in the fictional town of Nodd's Ridge which is comparable to Stephen King's town of Derry, Maine. King has earned awards for both her fiction and for her contributions to literacy in Maine. Her sons, Joe Hill and Owen King, are also writers.
Annie Leibovitz is one of the world's most well-known and successful photographers. Though they kept their relationship private for its entirety, she and Susan Sontag were partners, each inspiring and fostering creativity in the other while also offering important criticism and advice.
Sontag considered herself to be a fiction writer, though she is best known for her essays and criticism. Her works include the novels In America and The Volcano Lover, the plays Alice in Bed and Lady from the Seas, and the essay collections Under the Sign of Saturn and Against Interpretation. She also published short stories and essays in magazines like The New Yorker and Paris Review. Sontag won the National Book Critics Circle Award, a MacArthur Fellowship, the George Polk Award, and many others. She is known for her activism and essays on the AIDS epidemic, 9/11, and Sarajevo. | {

The castle of Somló (Hungary) is located northwest of Lake Balaton, on the top of the Somló hill. We can find its first written mention in the document of King Saint László in 1059 as "castrum Somlyo". However, historians claim it was a fake document that was written in 1390. It was assumedly rebuilt after the Mongols' invasion in 1241. The castle was mentioned in earnest in 1352 as "castrum Somlo" when King Louis the Great took it away from János, son of Chenik, and gave it to Benedek, son of Heym. However, we find Somló in the property of the king again in 1370 and in 1380 as well, when its Castellan was Bán (Duke) Ákos.
The castle was pledged to Zámbó Miklós between 1386 and 1389. (Please, note that I use the Eastern name order for Hungarians where family names come first.) King Zsigmond bartered Somló castle with Palatine Garai Miklós and his brother János and the king received the settlement of Ivánkaszentgyörgy in Valkó County in exchange for it in 1389. The king confirmed the business in 1408.
We find the castle still in the hand of the Rozgonyi family between 1443 and 1463 for sure. They bartered it with the Anthimi family before 1464, though. King Matthias Corvinus condemned Anthimi László in 1464 for his crimes and his castle was given to Kanizsai László, the Stable Master of the king. However, we find Somló castle in the hand of the Garai family in 1470. Garai Jób sold the castle to King Matthias in 1479. Soon, the king gave it to his favorite general, Kinizsi Pál in 1480. You can read more about Kinizsi Pál here:
https://www.hungarianottomanwars.com/essays/kinizsi-pal-general-of-king-matthias/
Kinizsi pledged Somló castle in 1490 to Szapolyai István who was the Chief Comes of Szepes County. Finally, Szapolyai and his sons János and György received it officially from the king in 1495. Having gained it, Szapolyai sold it at once to Bakócz Tamás of Erdőd, Bishop of Eger for 12,000 pieces of gold. The bishop's brothers shared in the ownership, too.
The bishop had the castle fully renovated and turned it into a Renaissance palace and castle. He was the one who had the door-frames and the window-frames curved, and built the chapel with a tower, too. Being the richest high priest of the kingdom, he supplied the fort with two big cannons and many smaller ones in 1498.
The cousin of Bishop Bakócz, Erdődy Péter inherited the castle in 1517. Nevertheless, he could not move in it because Bishop Fosztony János of Győr opposed it. When Bishop Fosztony tried to take Somló castle officially into his possession, the soldiers of Bakócz injured the royal officer who tried to hand Somló over to Bishop Fosztony. Finally, King Lajos (Louis) II granted Somló castle to Erdődy Péter in 1518. Erdődy made further improvements and placed a permanent garrison in it.
After 1526 the castle was sentenced to death but it bravely beat back the smaller Turkish attacks. There was a bigger battle under its walls in 1543 where 3,000 Turks lost their lives. The castle has become the strongest border fort of the neighboring country.
Somló used to belong to the Erdődy family until 1548 when Erdődy Péter pledged it in 1548 to Csoron András of Devecser for 2,000 gold Forints. The new lord took the question of defense very seriously and had another castle built nearby, Devecser castle, and he could control the area better from these strongholds. Let us not forget, that after the fall of Buda (1541), Lake Balaton was an important border between the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary. At this time, the lake was 1.5 times bigger than now. The Turks could easily cross it by boats to pillage the other bank. Also, the water was frozen between December and March so the castles along the lake had to keep a sharp eye on the enemy.
The landlord of Somló had extorted his peasants in order to maintain the castles and his soldiers to such an extent that the Habsburg king had to warn him. Allegedly he had also made nuns produce gunpowder and other things for military purposes. However, paying the expenses would have been the duty of the Habsburg king whose country depended on the Hungarians' valiant fight along the 1,000-mile-long Borderland. Sadly, the king was hardly paying his own forts so the private castle-owners had to rely on their own help.
The full price of Somló was paid only in 1558. The new owners became the children of Csoron András: János, Katalin, and Margit. When Csoron János died in 1597, his daughtered were dividing his domains. Somló remained in the hand of Csoron Anna who married Liszthy István. Thus, the castle went to the Liszthy family after 1597. The Royal Treasury immediately sued the Liszthy family, the king wanted to take the castle away from them. Due to the costly and long trial, nobody took care of the castle's condition.
When Csoron Anna died, it was her son, Ferenc who became the lord of Somló. After Ferenc passed away, Lady Gyulaffy Zsuzsanna of Rátót became the owner. Her son, Liszthy László, the poet, inherited Somló from her. Yet, Liszty László was not just a poet, he was considered an outlaw and was wanted badly by the Habsburgs. Finally, he was captured and beheaded in Vienna. As for the castle, due to the ruined walls, the Diet had to make a decision in 1638 to spend money on the repairs.
Later, several families owned a part in Somló castle: the Koháry, the Lippay family as well as Lord Török János and his wife, Pethő Margit of Gerse. Their children, namely Imre, István, Anna, Zsuzsanna, and Mária also inherited parts of the castle. After 1675, further owners appeared: Fintay Pál of Denna and the Balassa family.
Somló castle had some military role during the War of Independence of Prince Rákóczi Ferenc: General Bottyán took it in 1707 and he gave an order to repair the walls. After the end of Rákóczi's war, Somló castle lost all of its military functions and nobody maintained the walls anymore. The Erdődy family had been suing for owning it for a long time but when they got it back in 1735, it was already a ruin. Somló had been theirs until 1945. | {

Circularizing Planet Nine through dynamical friction with an extended, cold planetesimal belt
Unexpected clustering in the orbital elements of minor bodies beyond the Kuiper belt has led to speculations that our Solar system actually hosts nine planets, the eight established plus a hypothetical 'Planet Nine'. Several recent studies have shown that a planet with a mass of about 10 Earth masses on a distant eccentric orbit with perihelion far beyond the Kuiper belt could create and maintain this clustering. The evolutionary path resulting in an orbit such as the one suggested for Planet Nine is nevertheless not easily explained. Here, we investigate whether a planet scattered away from the giant-planet region could be lifted to an orbit similar to the one suggested for Planet Nine through dynamical friction with a cold, distant planetesimal belt. Recent simulations of planetesimal formation via the streaming instability suggest that planetesimals can readily form beyond 100 au. We explore this circularisation by dynamical friction with a set of numerical simulations. We find that a planet that is scattered from the region close to Neptune on to an eccentric orbit has a 20-30 per cent chance of obtaining an orbit similar to that of Planet Nine after 4.6 Gyr. Our simulations also result in strong or partial clustering of the planetesimals; however, whether or not this clustering is observable depends on the location of the inner edge of the planetesimal belt. If the inner edge is located at 200 au, the degree of clustering amongst observable objects is significant.

THE FLATS – Daniel Spingola had three hits and drove in a pair of runs, but Virginia Tech scored four times in the first inning and withstood a late Georgia Tech rally to beat the Yellow Jackets, 7-6, at Russ Chandler Stadium on Sunday to avoid a sweep.
The Jackets (28-20, 14-13) got two runs back in the bottom of the first, plated two more in the sixth to pull within 5-4 and scored once in the eighth and once in the ninth before the rally expired. The Hokies improved to 18-27-1, 8-19.
Spingola was 3-for-5 Sunday with a triple and the junior from the Marist School finished the series for 8-for-15 (.533) with two triples, two runs and four RBI. His seven triples lead the ACC and are the tied for the seventh-most in a single-season at Tech. A.J. Murray was also 3-for-5 on Sunday.
Spingola's two-out RBI single in the eighth inning cut the deficit to 7-5 after the Hokies got much-needed insurance from Mark Zaguinis in the seventh with a two-run single to right.
In the ninth with one out, Murray singled, Connor Justus walked and Brandon Gold came through with a tailing liner to left that dropped for an RBI single. The Hokies turned to Tanner McIntyre who was able to get a strike 'em out, throw 'em out double play as Justus was nabbed at third to end the game.
McIntyre earned his second save and the win went to starter Kit Scheetz (4-1), who tossed 5.1 innings with eight hits, four runs, two walks and six strikeouts.
Ben Parr shook off a rocky first inning in his first career ACC start and retired 13 straight Hokies after allowing four runs on three hits in the first. Brendon Hayden's RBI single allowed the visitors to draw first blood and Logan Bible's three-double into the right-field corner made it 4-0.
The Jackets trimmed the margin in half in the bottom of the first as Mott Hyde walked to lead off the game, then scored when Spingola rocketed a three-bagger to the right-field corner. Matt Gonzalez delivered an RBI single in the next at bat.
Looking to cut further into the deficit, Tech left runners stranded in each of the first four innings — including runners at second and third with one out in the third — and finished the game with 11 runners left on, including six in scoring position.
Zagunis, Hayden and Phil Sciretta had consecutive singles in the sixth inning which halted Parr's streak of 13-straight retired and Scrietta's RBI single to left made it 5-2.
Arden Pabst came through with a two-run single to left in the home half of the sixth as the Jackets inched closer, but Zagunis' two-run knock in the seventh answered that.
Rookie reliever Ben Schniederjans entered the game in the seventh with the bases loaded and one out, promptly rolling a 6-4-3 double play to end the threat. The righty tossed a shutout over the final 2.2 innings with two hits, no walks and two strikeouts.
Parr absorbed the loss (4-2), after yielding six hits and five runs with six strikeouts over six innings.
Tech is back in action Tuesday afternoon hosting North Florida at Russ Chandler Stadium. First pitch is set for 4 p.m. on ESPN3. | {

Looking back at the blog and seeing the last post be from September was kind of disheartening, but then I remembered I actually did blog every day in October. It was just on a different page. So if you'd like to look through my 31 Days of Fighting for Grace series, I'd be honored!
You can check out all of the posts here! Or you can click on the image below to see the day by day breakdown of the whole series. I'd love your feedback on it! | {

Overnight storm pounds Metro Atlanta
ATLANTA -- A second round of severe weather rolled into Metro Atlanta early Sunday morning bringing lightning-related fires, flash flooding and power outages. An earlier storm system on Saturday brought large hail and heavy rain to Coweta, Fayette and Henry counties.
Metro Atlanta has received over 3 inches of rain since the recent system moved in and more is expected early Monday morning. Flash flooding caused large ponding on Interstate 20 and Interstate 75 Saturday night and into Sunday morning that led to a number of accidents and stranded vehicles.
According to Gwinett Fire spokesman Tommy Rutledge, lightning struck homes in Lilburn and Grayson, causing minor fires. Another home in Lilburn was damaged when a tree fell on a house on Johns Street. There were no injuries in any of the incidents.

# ABOUT THE CREATOR
Gertrude Chandler Warner was born on April 16, 1890, in Putnam, Connecticut. In 1918, Warner began teaching at Israel Putnam School. As a teacher, she discovered that many readers who liked an exciting story could not find books that were both easy and fun to read. She decided to try to meet this need. In 1942, _The Boxcar Children_ was published for these readers.
Warner drew on her own experience to write _The Boxcar Children_. As a child she spent hours watching trains go by on the tracks near her family home. She often dreamed about what it would be like to live in a caboose or freight car—just as the Alden children do.
When readers asked for more Alden adventures, Warner began additional stories. While the mystery element is central to each of the books, she never thought of them as strictly juvenile mysteries. She liked to stress the Aldens' independence. Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny go about most of their adventures with as little adult supervision as possible—something that delights young readers.
During her lifetime, Warner received hundreds of letters from fans as she continued the Aldens' adventures, writing nineteen Boxcar Children books in all. After her death in 1979, her publisher, Albert Whitman and Company, carried on Warner's vision. Today, the Boxcar Children series has more than 100 books.

Could it really be this easy and worse, have we really never done comparative studies ever?? From the bits and pieces now been done, i have to say it has always been about administrative convenience and top down thinking.
Add in inspired nutrition and meditation and it all becomes much better.
This is still doing the obvious and making sure it works and why do we need to be told? Did an administrative shift decades ago create generations of students unable to properly concentrate that then promoted a chemical protocol to solve the faux problem?
Of course it boils down to just that. No one ever did studies to find out back in the day.
It makes total sense. your effective concentrated attention span is about thirty minutes max. And what you cannot do is instantly shift gears and then jump into another subject without a substantive break. Even shaking your hands out is a break.
ADD and ADHD are both constantly touted by parents and teachers as the reasoning behind why children are unable to focus. And often times, the "cure" seems to be a slew of pharmaceutical medications that numb the children to their surroundings.
Rarely is the cure ever to cut down on sugar or to consider that a child's brain and focus simply isn't fully developed. And never has the cure been enacting a program that extends the amount of time kids have recess.
Could the answer to better test scores, behavior, and attention be as simple as play?
The Eagle Mountain Elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas has been giving their children two 15-minute recess breaks every morning and two breaks every afternoon. These breaks cut into classroom time and kids are encouraged to play. And guess what? It is working.
Kids are now able to focus better and there is less fidgeting.
So then are we mishandling ADD and ADHD diagnoses? It would seem pharma's found a wonderful revenue stream with an "ailment" that can often be cured with proper diet and more activity time. | {

Q: Polymorphic classes as template parameter I have polymorphic classes that take another polymorphic classes as template arguments.
I would like to do something like this:
class A{ public: virtual ~A() = default; };
class B : public A{};
class C : public A{};
template<typename A>
class X{ public: virtual ~X() = default; };
class Y : public X<B>{};
class Z : public X<C>{};
int main(void)
{
X<A> *test = new Y();
(void)test;
return 0;
}
but I obtain this error:
error: cannot convert 'Y*' to 'X<A>*' in initialization
X<A> *test = new Y();
The goal is to have some containers of X instances:
std::vector<std::unique_ptr<X<A>>> data;
data.push_back( std::make_unique<Y>() );
data.push_back( std::make_unique<Z>() );
How can I do proceed ?

CPH:DOX in Copenhagen is one of the world's leading documentary film festivals and the complete program for 2018 was released last friday. A total of nine Swedish films will screen, six of which in competition. Two of the films, The Raft by Marcus Lindeen and Giants and the Morning After by Per Bifrost, Malla Grapengiesser and Alexander Rynéus, will have their world premiere at the festival in the main competition "DOX:AWARD".
Gösta Berling's Saga, directed by the silent movie icon Mauritz Stiller, is based on Selma Lagerlöf's novel with the same name and became Greta Garbo's breakthrough, paving the way for her outstanding career in Hollywood.
For the second year in a row a Swedish film has been nominated for an Oscar in the Best Foreign Language Film category.
Becoming Astrid by Pernille Fischer Christensen has been selected to screen in the Berlinale Special Gala section at the Berlin International Film Festival, 15-25 February.
At an awards ceremony, held at Cirkus in Stockholm and broadcasted live, the winners of the Guldbagge Awards 2018 were crowned.

Måns Månsson and Axel Petersén's The Real Estate has been selected in Competition (Official Selection) at the Berlin International Film Festival.
On Monday Alexander Skarsgård was awarded a Golden Globe for his role in the HBO-hit Big Little Lies. This makes him the first Swede to get a Golden Globe since 1988. He is also the first Swedish actor to be awarded in a TV category.
At a press conference in Stockholm today the nominations for the Guldbagge Awards for the film year of 2017 were announced. Borg/McEnroe stands out with ten nominations, followed by The Nile Hilton Incident with eight. Ravens and Sámi Blood both have seven nominations. The Guldbagge Awards is arranged by the Swedish Film Institute and will be held on 23 January.

"They're under my bed," my then five-year-old said.
I looked under her bed and there were the cute, pink curtains crumpled into a wad. "Why are they wadded up into a ball under your bed?" No answer. As I pulled them out and tried to straighten them I said, again with an edge, "Why did you do this?" I tried to hang them back up but the rod was warped and my frustration boiled over.
My husband came home a few minutes later and the girls were still awake. "I've never heard mom yell before," our seven-year-old said. "She was so mad." My husband couldn't get the curtains up that night either but in the next couple of days they went up, good as new. Since that time the curtain story has elevated to smoke coming from my nostrils and my head splitting in two as fire erupted from it.
There are many days that I go to bed thinking that I blew it: I wasn't patient enough, gracious enough, merciful enough, pleasant enough, or just enough for what my kids needed that day. Yet somehow, where I see imperfection she sees wisdom. She sees inspiration. She saw my tears and said, "It's true, Mom! You're the nicest woman I know and you make great pancakes!" (Yes, we'd had pancakes that morning).
You won't see a Hollywood blockbuster about a pancake hero or read a novel on the New York Times bestsellers list about a woman who sounds like a crazy person asking her kids to feed the dogs for crying out loud and to find their other shoe ("why aren't your shoes together?") before driving them to baseball or softball practice. You won't see stories on the evening news about a woman who lost her temper over crumpled curtains but then sat on the side of her children's beds and apologized. You won't see medals hung around their necks at any public ceremony.
Those heroes are relegated for home. | {

Warren Buffett credits Dale Carnegie's lessons to helping him stop being socially awkward.
Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett credits Dale Carnegie's teachings with transforming his life.
Buffett studied Carnegie's book "How to Win Friends & Influence People" when he was 15.
When Warren Buffett was 15 years old, he found a copy of Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends & Influence People" on his grandfather's bookshelf.
As Alice Schroeder writes in her biography of the billionaire investor, "The Snowball," Buffett was having difficulty fitting in at high school, and so the title was too much to resist.
He began experimenting with Carnegie's techniques, and though Buffett certainly didn't shed his social awkwardness overnight, he found that all of the book's advice worked for him and ingrained it within himself.
Several years later, at the start of his career, he would take a Dale Carnegie course that trained him to overcome his fear of public speaking and become a better communicator using Carnegie's principles. To this day, the Carnegie class diploma is the only one of Buffett's hanging in his office. He said in the HBO documentary "Becoming Warren Buffett," that he credits Carnegie's teachings with transforming his life.
"How to Win Friends & Influence People" was published in 1937 and contains some dated language and references. While nothing in it is radical, its fundamental insights are just as applicable today as it they were during the Great Depression or when a young, insecure Buffett picked up a copy.
We've summarized some of its main lessons on how to be a likable, persuasive, and influential leader.
Carnegie explained that those in leadership positions should acknowledge when a subordinate is not meeting expectations or when a competitor's approach is inferior to their own, but do so in a way that acknowledges what is working, avoiding resentment and encouraging improvement.
Carnegie wrote that "the only way on earth to influence other people is to talk about what they want and show them how to get it."
He referred to a quote by Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford: "If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from that person's angle as well as from your own."
"And he was probably understating the truth," Carnegie wrote. "For Schwab's personality, his charm, his ability to make people like him, were almost wholly responsible for his extraordinary success; and one of the most delightful factors in his personality was his captivating smile."
And even from a practical standpoint, he continued, it's in a leader's favor to remain on good terms with an employee who didn't work out, since it's possible they will cross paths, and may even work together, again.
It's human nature to meet aggression with aggression. But, Carnegie said, you will be surprised what you can usually accomplish when you take the high road and maintain your composure while you continue trying to persuade them, expressing appreciation for their point of view.
"Begin by emphasizing — and keep on emphasizing — the things on which you agree," Carnegie wrote. "Keep emphasizing, if possible, that you are both striving for the same end and that your only difference is one of method and not of purpose."
No one can be forced to truly believe something, Carnegie wrote, and that's why the most persuasive people know the power of suggestions over demands.
Carnegie said that you should plant a seed, and when that's blossomed, avoid the urge to take credit for it. | {

Today bigblu services and expertise are deployed all over Europe across a multitude of industries and public services. However, one of the first areas to capitalise on satellite technology was broadcast. Much of our specialist capability has been developed and refined in this demanding and fast-paced environment.
News media and film production often require support in remote locations. Stories can break anywhere and at any time. So, it is essential that a crew can access a reliable connection from virtually anywhere, and transmit content back to a studio quickly, securely, and over a dedicated line. Our leadership in this area has earned us partners such as the BBC, CNN Sky news and RTE. Our lightweight and durable equipment can be broadcast-ready in minutes, and our expertise are routinely engaged to cover global news events such as the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Similarly, film production is an exacting and dynamic industry in which often hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake, and in which margins of error are imperceptibly small and schedules extremely tight. Modern film production relies on connection to other services such as editing and special effects, making our services indispensable. We are proud to have provided the equipment and expertise to support some of the most ambitious and successful productions ever to appear on screen, such as Spectre, Gravity, and X-Men. | {

There are many aspects of leadership and there is a distinct difference between it and management. Understanding what is required in order to lead a group or team to a successful outcome is paramount for effective leadership.
Leadership is developed ... we're not born with it. Take a look in a hospital baby ward... no tags declaring, 'This one's a leader!' We make up our minds to be a leader.
Advantages: True leaders have prestige, pride and dignity in what they do - tremendous feeling of well-being, satisfaction and inner fulfillment.
That comes from knowing that you've helped others to achieve what they want. There is a difference between manipulation and motivation!
A leader is proud of what he or she does and good at it. Leadership provides the only real security, and it's important to understand what SECURITY is. It's not necessarily a good job or money in the bank. A good job can be lost and money can be spent.
There are important qualities required, all embraced with integrity. Integrity, people have or they don't… no half way measures.
In my training on the importance and effectiveness of true leadership, all the required qualities are discussed and explained fully. Also, traps to avoid and how to replace those traps with successful methods have enabled many of today's leaders I've had the pleasure of working with to improve their lot.
Learn to understand the 3 C's of negativity and how to replace them with the 3 C's of positivity.
You'll appreciate the training methods of John Mulvey. | {

A guide to: potatoes
There's more to these pantry favourites than meets the eye...
Story by Margaret Brooker
From Dish #49 , page 46
There is nothing humble about the potato. It has an exalted pedigree, variously hailed as an aphrodisiac, feared as poisonous, and championed by royalty. Having overcome its earlier challenges the potato has become such a staple that it is now the world's fourth largest food crop and accounts for some 18 per cent of all vegetable sales in New Zealand.
But there is no universal potato. In fact, the word belies the myriad varieties available, with characteristics so diverse that a cook should not treat them as a homogeneous vegetable. Their differences in texture and flavour make each variety suitable to its own particular method of cooking.
Although there are between 50 and 70 varieties of potato in New Zealand, each with their own profile, getting it right is remarkably simple, in principle. The key to understanding potatoes is not so much in the varieties as in the distinction between waxy and floury types.
Waxy potatoes have a high water content and are low in starch, which means that when cooked they have a dense, smooth texture and retain their shape. At the other end of the spectrum floury potatoes are low in water and high in starch, so when cooked they have a dry, delicate, fluffy texture, and break up easily, readily absorbing liquid and flavours. In between waxy and floury on the potato continuum are the all-rounders: general purpose potatoes with moderate starch and water contents, neither very floury nor very waxy.
Most 'new' or 'early' potatoes are waxy, but as the growing season progresses potatoes change. Some initially waxy varieties become more floury in the 'main crop' as their natural sugars convert to starch. Thus potatoes harvested mid-season may be waxy or floury. Similarly the growing conditions of the potatoes affect their ultimate texture and flavour. A Pukekohe-grown potato might be only slightly waxy whereas a Southland-grown potato of the same variety might be very waxy.
"Their differences in texture and flavour make each variety suitable to its own particular method of cooking."
The uncertainty of not knowing precisely where a potato sits on the waxy/ floury continuum has been reduced in recent times by labelling guidance. Each new line undergoes a cook test before potato growers label their produce as being "smooth on the inside" "fluffy on the inside" or "between smooth and fluffy", in addition to the potatoes' variety. Because of the possible varietal differences consumers are advised to pay more heed to the texture and buy according to the cook test rather than the name of the potato.
If you're unsure what sort of potato you're dealing with you can easily conduct your own test. Immerse the potato in a brine of one part salt to eleven parts water: waxy potatoes will float, while floury potatoes will sink. Or simply cut the potato open. Floury potatoes leave a white starch residue on the blade of the knife and tend to cling to the blade, whereas waxy potatoes leave little residue and fall free.
For best results with your cooking it's important to match the type of potato to the method.
POTATO VARIETIES:
Floury: "Fluffy on the Inside". Best suited to mashing, baking, roasting, frying.
Fianna, Ilam Hardy, Red Rascal, Agria, and Laura (marketed as Red Jacket), are the most common floury varieties. Limited or localised supplies include Victoria, Marabel and Markies (a relative of Agria).
Waxy: "Smooth on the Inside". Best suited to boiling, braising, stewing as they retain their shape.
Draga, Frisia, Nadine, are the most common waxy varieties. Limited or localised varieties include Jersey Bennes, Liseta, Red King Edward, Tiffany and Annabelle (marketed as Perlas), Highlander, Osprey, Gourmandine and Marilyn.
General Purpose: "Between Smooth and Fluffy". Can be used for most cooking methods but results may not be as effective as flourier or waxier varieties.
Rua, Desiree, and Moonlight are the most common general purpose varieties. Limited or localised varieties include Rocket, Red Ruby, Van Rosa, Karaka, Driver, Vivaldi (marketed as Vivaldi Gold), Purple Passion, Maris Anchor, and Summer Delight.
Kumara is also known as 'sweet potato', although it is not related to the 'regular' potato. And the same textural considerations apply. The kumaras' characteristic sweetness increases with the brightness of their flesh, with Orange kumara being the sweetest of the three.
While many different varieties exist, only three are commercially available.
Owairaka Red is New Zealand's traditional red kumara and accounts for 70 per cent of the crop. With purple/red skin and cream-coloured flesh, it has a relatively firm texture and holds its shape well, making it an all-purpose kumara.
TokaToka Gold has a smooth, golden skin and a mottled apricot-gold hued flesh. Its soft, mealy texture suits roasting, mashing and frying.
Beauregard Orange has a smooth, orange skin and orange flesh. Its relatively high moisture content makes it most suitable for boiling, braising and stewing.
MAORI POTATOES
The so-called Maori potatoes or "taewa" are actually relicts of cultivars introduced by European explorers in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Although members of the same Solanum tuberosum family as 'regular' modern potatoes," Maori potatoes look distinctly different. They generally have deep-set eyes, and are often knobbly and irregular but otherwise differ widely. Their shapes range from spherical through flattish-oval to elongated and their skin colours vary from purple to orange-pink to mottled red and yellow. Their flesh is equally diverse, ranging from white to yellow to purple, sometimes with a coloured ring in cross section, and covering the spectrum from ultra-floury to waxy.
Of the many varieties of Maori potatoes, some of the more common are:
Urenika – elongated tubers with dark purple skin and very floury white–flecked purple flesh
Moemoe – roundish tubers with yellow and reddish-mottled skin and waxy purple-flecked yellow flesh
Peruperu – elongated tubers with creamy-yellow skin splashed with purple and floury creamy-white flesh streaked with yellow
SELECTION AND STORAGE
For potatoes, Maori potatoes and kumara alike the same selection and storage criteria apply. All should be firm, dry and blemish-free. Avoid spongy specimens, or those with wrinkly, broken skins or green tinges or sprouts. Unwashed potatoes are preferable as the soil coating protects them from the light. Store them away from the light in a cool, well-ventilated place, but not in the refrigerator. Do not store in plastic, (unless it is a Greenguard bag designed especially for potatoes) as it causes them to sweat and quickly deteriorate; a paper bag or box is an ideal container.

Sensor networks for the natural environment require an understanding of earth science, combined with sensor, communications and computer technology. We discuss the evolution from data logging to sensor networks, describe our research from a glacial environment and highlight future challenges in this field.

Ellen White: England's modest goal machine whose rise to stardom has been years in the making
The Manchester City forward has been the Lionesses' stand-out player at the Women's World Cup but she is no 'overnight sensation'

England Women's World Cup Squad - in full
Why can't a male footballer be a gay icon like the mighty Rapinoe?
Like the best overnight sensations, Ellen White's elevation to stardom has been a long time in the making. It is eight years since the England striker scored a stunning volley in the 2011 World Cup as England defeated eventual winners Japan in the group stages. In the intervening years she has suffered serious injuries, been shunted to England's wing, and played for several WSL clubs. Now, though, at 30, it appears her time has come.
White has been England's stand-out player as they have advanced to the knock-out stages of the Women's World Cup, scoring four times in her three matches eclipsing more celebrated strikers such as Women's Footballer of the Year Nikita Parris, Euro 2017 Golden Boot winner Jodie Taylor and Barcelona's Toni Duggan. Her goggles goal celebration has gone viral.
Like England's 2018 men's World Cup goalscoring star Harry Kane, another whose 'instant fame' followed years of hard work, part of White's attraction is a girl-next-door ordinariness. She drives a Vauxhall and her most exotic hobby is watching the German football. While her twitter handle @ellsbells89 suggests a slight mischievousness she's more likely to curl up in front of the TV with a cuppa than look for a nightspot. It is noticeable that she is not one of those England players to have sought and secured sponsors' endorsements despite playing nearly 90 internationals and representing Great Britain in the 2012 Olympics.
'Prodigious work-rate'
Ellen White celebrates scoring England's second goal against Scotland (Getty Images)
Close friends with captain Steph Houghton, White will be reunited with her former Leeds Carnegie and Arsenal teammate next season having moved to Manchester City from Birmingham City. She has also played for Chelsea and Notts County in a peripatetic career which began playing with brother Marcus in their father's Jon's Aylesbury academy, Mini Dux – the local non-League club are nicknamed the Ducks.
She has been playing for England since 2010 and was player of the year in 2011 and 2018 – though husband Callum Convery, an FA sports development officer, had to accept the latter award as she was on Houghton's hen do. Convery, like his wife, is having to adjust to her new fame having been described in one national newspaper this week as a "hunky stud".
In between those awards White played an important, but possibly frustrating role on the wing during England's 2015 march to the World Cup semi-finals. Now, though, she is back in her preferred centre-forward role and her goals and prodigious work-rate have fully justified Phil Neville's decision to select her ahead of Taylor.
Each goal has come from around a dozen yards out, White reacting quickly to a through pass or loose ball and scoring on her 'weaker' left foot. "I've got very good players around me and they seem to be finding me in those pockets," she said with typical modesty. "I'm delighted to be getting off the back shoulder of defenders and that's been working for me."
The subsequent celebration is copied from Cologne's French forward Anthony Modeste. She explained, in comments which later featured on the German league's own website: "I like watching the Bundesliga. I support Cologne and Anthony Modeste, that's his celebration. My husband was like, why don't you do that? But I've started something I can't really stop now!"
🤓 We had a very special visitor at Geißbockheim today… @Lionesses star and #effzeh fan, @ellsbells89 was at training! 🏴
Naturally, there was the chance to practice the celebration that she shares with @amodeste27! All the best this summer, Ellen! 💪 pic.twitter.com/wrkcI2xIwf

White and Convery even travelled to Cologne in May to join the team's promotion-winning celebrations, visiting them at the training ground and posing for a photo with Modeste.
After being told the celebration was being copied in schools and park back home she said: "Awww, that's super cute, that is. That's why I play football, to make little kids happy and to make people happy. My nieces have been doing it loads, so that makes me really happy as well, so that's very sweet."
While Kane has embraced a small degree of celebrity since the men's World Cup one senses White would prefer to maintain her low profile. If she maintains her present form, however, that may be difficult.

Hitting the sweet spot!
Recording sales of €204 million in 2016 – an impressive 3% increase in current value terms – Euromonitor reports that despite an increasing awareness of health and wellness trends and the role sugar plays in the diet of consumers, sales within sugar confectionery continue to increase. Below, we highlight the key players which are driving category growth

18 April 2017 | 0
The sugar confectionery segment – which consists of boiled sweets, jellies, toffees, mints and more – is performing well and experiencing growth*. In Ireland, the segment increased by 3% in 2016, with sales of €204m predicted to increase to €216m by 2021. The share between brands was in constant shift between established household names and competitive newcomers, and that is expected to continue as new manufacturers enter the fray.
Meanwhile, Ireland's chewing gum market is also doing well, with a 5% growth and €70m sales recorded in 2016**. Sugar-free gum has been driving sales in recent years, including a 2% volume increase in the same year. However, by contrast, flavoured gum and bubble gum have seen a decline.

Loving life!
Love Sweets includes a range of €1 and €2 hanging bags and a €2 mix-up, within its portfolio, with impactful merchandising materials
Ampersand has been distributing the Love Sweets brand since taking over the distribution from JFC Distribution last July. Love Sweets is a range of €1 and €2 premium, quality-bagged confectionery offering high margins to retailers and a superior sweet offering to consumers. The Love Sweets range is sourced from quality manufacturers within the EU to ensure that that only the highest quality sweets are available across the range and to ensure consumer satisfaction and repeat purchases in-store.
The Love Sweets range consists of €1 and €2 hanging bags and a €2 mix-up.
€1 hanging bag: This range consists of 16 top selling confectionery lines that include sour, jelly and fizzy sweets with a €1 price-point. Each €1 bag is packed in bright and colourfully packaged 100g size bags that stand out in-store and are the perfect size for a treat.
€2 hanging bag: A range of the old time favourite classics for adults. This range of premium quality sweets in 16 different variants has vibrant candy store packaging and offers a great €2 price to consumers and high margins to retailers.
€2 mix-up: A range of sweets that both adults and children can enjoy. This product is a pre-packed range made up of a mix of the most popular sweets retailing at €2. This range is also packaged professionally in Love Sweets branded packs with nutritional and allergen information.
Ampersand has a selection of branded stands and dump bins to merchandise each of the ranges in-store and drive impulse sales. The stands when merchandised in-store are striking, creating huge impact and Ampersand is confident they will drive sales and footfall into the store as consumers purchase across the Love Sweets range.
Since Ampersand took over the distribution of the brand last year it has grown the brand and nationwide distribution of Love Sweets throughout the convenience sector through the various retail groups. Ampersand is long-established as a key distributor in the Irish convenience sector and its sales force provides direct sales and merchandising services to over 3,000 FMCG customers nationwide.
For more information, call the Ampersand sales service team on (01) 4130150 or contact through [email protected] or www.ampersandsales.ie.
Pots of benefits of new format
This March Nestlé Confectionery's much-loved mint brand Polo is launching a new format. Polo Pots are recyclable plastic pots each containing 44 mints and available in three best-selling varieties: Original, Sugar Free and Sugar Free Extra Strong.
Stock of Polo Pots has been available since 20 March and each pot has an RRP of €2.19.*
The pots have clear benefits for consumers and retailers alike. They are easy to open and close and keep the product protected inside. They also offer convenience for consumers
on-the-go as they fit nicely in a car holder, or are handy to keep on a desktop. For retailers, they are able to offer consumers who are willing to trade up the opportunity to do so.
This new launch comes on the back of a successful 2016 for Polo. Originally launched in 1948, the brand benefited last year from a full brand redesign which enhanced its standout on-shelf and also highlighted the iconic shape of the Polo sweet that consumers love.
According to a Nestlé UK and Ireland spokesperson: "The new recyclable Polo Pots will offer consumers the chance to buy our iconic Polo mint brand in packaging which is both convenient – especially ideal for on-the-go – and ensures the quality of the product inside is of the highest standard. The bigger pack size also provides retailers with the opportunity to trade consumers up thus generating incremental sales value."
*(Pricing is at the sole discretion of the retailer).
Fastest growing manufacturer
Key brands within the Swizzels portfolio include: Love Hearts; Drumstick lollies; Fruity Pop; Refresher; Rainbow Drops; Double Lolly; Squashies; Bumper Bag; Lots of Lollies; and Chew Crew.
Swizzels is the fastest growing sugar confectionery manufacturer in the UK. Gums and jellies is the largest category within kids' sugar confectionery, accounting for over half the category's sales*. The Squashies range has seen 50% growth year-on-year, making it the fastest growing sugar confectionery brand. Swizzels has extended this popular range with the launch of new Drumstick Sour Cherry and Apple and Drumstick Bubblegum variants. Squashies are available in a variety of formats to cater for all occasions.
The bon bons category has experienced consistent double digit growth, and this is driven almost exclusively by Swizzels, which in the last year became the number one manufacturer of branded bon bons. Swizzels Drumstick and Refreshers Bon Bons are now the fastest growing bon bons brand on the market. The eye-catching graphics mean the packs have strong shelf impact and consumers will quickly recognise the products they love.
Swizzels is also relaunching its Drumstick and Refresher individually wrapped stick-pack chews with a new softer recipe, suitable for vegetarians and vegans. The bold new packaging and well-loved flavours will be sure to attract consumers of
all ages.
The Drumstick brand will celebrate its 60th birthday during 2017. Sales of the total Drumstick range have more than doubled in the last two years*. Swizzels has introduced product extensions including the new 20c Drumstick Bubblegum lolly. Like all Swizzels confectionery, the Bubblegum flavour Drumsticks do not contain any artificial colouring. A Mega Drumstick Bubblegum lolly is also available, RRP 35c.
Retailers should keep abreast of trends, for example ensuring a good range of hanging bag and price-marked products. Attention should be paid to best-selling products and additional facing space given to those brands. Squashies Drumstick is now the fastest growing sugar confectionery brand on the market, growing 50% year-on-year*, and holds a higher rate of sale than many of the most widely distributed bagged sugar brands.

Sweet stories
Tubs Sweets is owned by HR Foods alongside brands such as Mrs Crimble's Gluten Free Bakery, Bewleys Tea & Coffee and Scotbar Cooking Chocolate
For retailers, confectionery is a segment that sees peaks and troughs through the year – Easter, Halloween, and so on. However, it is a consistently popular segment, as snacking habits drive footfall and impulse purchases simultaneously. Bord Bia reports that the average person snacks 2.5 times per day, while 21% of these snacks are confectionery products*.
With numbers like these, it is vital for retailers to stock a wide range of confectionery, and for manufacturers to constantly innovate. Brand loyalty is low among confectionery, and in-store displays and promotions are often key drivers in decision making.
With this in mind, Tubs Sweets puts a strong focus on innovation in its new product development, and strives to stand out in its flavours and varieties as well as its packaging. Both of these combined offer consumers sufficient options for snacking and indulgence during key periods, and also give retailers the variety to drive sales and make margins year-round.
Tubs Sweets has a range of about 30 different lines, from the hugely popular Raspberry Bonbons to traditional favourites such as Dolly Mixtures and Clove Rock
Tubs Sweets has had a very active and exciting past number of months, with a bright future on the horizon too.
The past year has seen enormous activity in Tubs Sweets, the Irish confectionery business owned by HR Foods alongside brands such as Mrs Crimble's Gluten Free Bakery, Bewleys Tea & Coffee and Scotbar Cooking Chocolate.
Operations manager David Delamere is responsible for sourcing the sweets that are packed into Tubs. Keeping the range relevant and fresh is a constant challenge. Tubs Sweets has a range of about 30 different lines, from the hugely popular Raspberry Bonbons to traditional favourites such as Dolly Mixtures and Clove Rock. Delamere is constantly seeking out new flavours and concepts to add to the range, while he and the production team, led by Evelyn Tan, pack off up to 55,000 units per week.
As a brand, Tubs Sweets is highly recognisable from its hundreds of Tubs stands in place across the country. The brand has recently had a small refresh, with the lid artwork being updated slightly through the last three months of 2016. A more detailed brand refresh is planned for the first half of 2017.
Tubs Sweets has a strong link with the Make a Wish Foundation, making a contribution the foundation for every tub sold. Tubs Sweets is also active on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Kathryn A. Heard
Dissertation: The Power of Reason and the Possibility of Religious Freedom in Late Secular Liberalism
Committee: Sarah Song (chair), Kathryn Abrams, David Lieberman, Anton Kaes
My dissertation interrogates how political theorists and legal actors use discourses of reason to regulate the public life of religion in late secular liberalism. I combine critical methodologies with archival research and community-based interviews in order to bring into sharp relief the distinctive political, phenomenological, and ethical conditions under which the language of reason retains the power to affect an individual's experience of and relationship to her faith. This power, I argue, drastically undermines the claims of the liberal state to secure religious freedom for its citizens.
Three distinct questions guide my research. I ask: First, how (and to what extent) are discourses of reason complicit in the construction and maintenance of secular liberalism? Second, what impact do these discourses have on not only the material and metaphysical freedom of religious individuals to carry out the mandates of their faiths, but also on such individuals' ability to advocate for politico-legal change on the basis of their beliefs? Third, is it possible to harness the positive elements of the semantic potential of reason - such as the drive towards a transcendent moral or ethical good, or the hope for respectful interpersonal speech in diverse societies - without also taking on the problematic aspects of its discursive relation to the liberal state? In answering these questions, I seek to bridge the methodological divide between critical theory and normative legal scholarship; moreover, I aim to provide an interdisciplinary account of how the affective power of reason can be rehabilitated in order to ameliorate the spiritual, political, and legal disenfranchisement of religious individuals and, in doing so, broaden the scope of what it means to realize the promise of religious freedom in liberal democracies.
The first two substantive chapters of my dissertation elucidate what constitutes the concept of "reason" in relation to "religion." They demonstrate not only how the secular liberal state emerged alongside the political constitution of the rational citizen, but also how reason latently - albeit powerfully and oftentimes adversely - affects the practice of religion in contemporary society. After an introduction (Chapter One) that sketches the theoretical and empirical problems with which this dissertation engages, Chapter Two examines the use of reason by John Locke, the initial proponent of a secular divide between public life and private belief. I argue that as Locke sought to quell the religious warfare of the seventeenth century, he advanced a vision of political life predicated on Protestantism: freedom could only be secured if religion was privately practiced and reverently oriented towards developing an inward connection with God. In this manner, religious individuals emerged as reasoned citizens through the process of recognizing, and then internalizing, the benefits that privatized religious belief bestowed upon the members of liberal states. I conclude that Locke's use of reason worked to subordinate religious freedom to political freedom.
Chapter Three suggests that when contemporary scholars like Jürgen Habermas and John Rawls call upon the language of reason to expand the concept of what constitutes acceptable public religious conduct in secular liberal states, they nonetheless reproduce the deeply Protestant - and deeply private - vision of reasonably practiced religion seen in Chapter Two. Although these scholars strive to carve out a meaningful and valued space for religious expression, they proscribe the full participation of devout citizens in the law- and policy-making processes of liberal democratic states. They do so by mandating that religiously-motivated speech be "cooperatively" translated to align with secular understandings of "the public good." I argue that such acts of translation represent a power-laden discursive phenomenon that entails both the willful forgetting and latent reproduction of the religious subordination that, historically, marked the rise of secular liberalism.
The next two chapters demonstrate how the theoretical tensions elucidated in the first two chapters make themselves manifest in the legal regulation of contemporary religious practices; they also seek to articulate how such regulation identifies liminal spaces within which devout individuals can resist the power of reason and proactively expand the politico-legal boundaries of religious freedom. Chapter Four focuses on the experiences of two members of the Native American Church who unsuccessfully sought legal accommodation for the consumption of peyote while employed at a drug rehabilitation facility (Employment Division v. Smith). Political theorists and legal actors often portray this case as a failure of religious freedom insofar as the decision limited the physical conduct of the plaintiffs; in doing so, however, they overlook how the very process of seeking accommodation - such as submitting to "tests of religious sincerity" to determine the "rational basis of religious need" (Civil Rights Act of 1964) - altered the metaphysical relationship of the plaintiffs to their faiths. By drawing from depositions, interviews, and personal correspondence, I suggest that the adjudicatory force of reason in regulating religion constrains religious freedom by neglecting the spiritual well-being of the liberal state's faithful citizens. I conclude by articulating a framework for a more expansive vision of religious freedom - a vision that entails rehabilitating the role of reason within law- and policy-making processes.
In contrast to Chapter Four, Chapter Five examines the potential pitfalls of using reason to expand the legal and political definition of religious freedom. It argues that after Employment Division v. Smith, laws were promulgated that expanded the protection of religious expression – but that such laws may compromise the liberty of persons of other (or of no) faiths. The argument I present in this chapter is drawn from current religious freedom arguments pertaining to the denial of service to same-sex couples. By looking at how both plaintiffs and defendants simultaneously call upon reason to support their legal arguments, I determine that securing religious freedom – as it stands now – rests on the performance of a certain type of "rational behavior" that we initially saw idealized in Chapters Two and Three. In order to balance the expansion of religious freedom against the liberties of secular and communal well-being, I argue that some notion of harm must be built into the legal rehabilitation of reason.
The final chapter, Chapter Six, further explores the liminal spaces between the dictates of secular liberalism and the mandates of religious expression within which individual resistance to the power of reason can occur. While the rhetoric of reason may never be fully immune to its impulse to subordinate the material and metaphysical lives of religious citizens to the ideals of the secular liberal state, reconstructing what counts as "reasonable" – particularly when an individual petitions for the full legal accommodation of their beliefs – lays the groundwork for extending to faithful citizens a more substantial role in crafting the laws, policies, and norms that govern their daily lives. In other words, religious freedom can be attained by exposing, and then subverting, the constitutive power of reason.
My dissertation concludes by considering whether the language of reason itself can be reclaimed and redeployed by religious individuals when encountering legal or political resistance to religious accommodation – whether, in other words, a liminal legal space exists within which religious individuals can push back against secular conceptions regarding the proper public pursuit of "the good." My next project continues this line of research by interrogating how the language of economic rationality affords faithful individuals the ability to articulate a mind-body coherence that traditional First Amendment jurisprudence does not. The presence and persuasiveness of this coherence, I argue, has prompted courts to carve out a protected space for religious expression within the economic marketplace (see, for example, Burwell v. Hobby Lobby). Yet by linking religious practices to capitalist endeavors, religions and their practitioners have been transformed into fungible commodities – the effect of which is to negate the differences in spiritual commitments that persist among religious individuals and to promulgate within the law a specific set of Evangelical values. By connecting critiques of economic rationality from thinkers like Michel Foucault and Karl Marx to Supreme Court jurisprudence, this next project aims to elucidate the effects that neoliberal interpretations of faith have on democratic virtues and ideals. | {

Audio and slides from the lunchtime talks that accompanied 'Playing Around'. These talks were given by guest speakers and recorded in a large auditorium; the use of headphones is recommended.
Andrew Breakwell was Director of Roundabout and Education at Nottingham Playhouse 1999–2012. During his time there, he transformed the department so that alongside the traditional tours of curriculum-orientated plays to schools, the Playhouse offered a wide range of participation and learning opportunities that placed theatre at the heart of the community.
How many opportunities are presented to us ... if we make our work in the spaces that people already inhabit? This talk by Gavin Stride, former Director of New Perspectives, explores the relationships between place and the making of theatre for rural audiences throughout New Perspectives' 40-year history. Is theatre made, and received, differently in rural settings where the stage is one end of the village hall or church nave?
Guest curator Dr Jo Robinson will draw on objects and images from the exhibition, and from the larger archives of both companies, to examine the different ways in which New Perspectives and Roundabout have worked to build communities in the East Midlands through diverse performances and venues from village halls and classrooms, to gypsy caravans and car showrooms. | {

I want to open a sober house in Philadelphia. I am not a guy that is trying to capitalize on others misfortune and just doing this for the money like I know a lot of people that start sober homes are I am a recovering alcoholic with 4 years of sobriety that wants to give back. I am in the process of inheriting my mothers 5 room house and this is why I am in a position to do this. What do I need to do to do this? Are there any special licenses I need? Since I am going to charge a very low or reasonable price I think I can fill the rooms pretty easily.
Thank you for your question. There currently isn't a license you need to open a sober living or recovery home in Pennsylvania. However, I did some research and found an article stating they are starting a certification process. According to the article, the certification won't be mandatory but you wouldn't be able to get any funding without certification. You can find the article here. I do think it is needed and should be mandatory. It's not that I think people should be limited from starting sober living homes but many of them aren't structured as they should be. As a person in recovery, I'm sure you recognize the need for structure in a sober living home.
In order to make your sober living home structured, I would create a business plan. It doesn't have to be a complicated or long plan but write down some goals for what you want the house to be like. Whenever you start a business, you need to have an plan for how the business will be managed. Consider what the rules of the house will be and what budget you have to start it. Check local zoning laws where the house is and network with people in the community to spread word about your house.
I hope this helps get you started and good luck with starting the house! | {

I have chosen as my topic THE PENTECOSTAL/CHARISMATIC WORLD WIDE MOVEMENT. If you accept me A aource for dependable information you need to know upon what my information is based. To provide that you must know more about my background. I am 86 years old, almost 87. I was reared in a Pentecostal home and my parents served as an Assemblies of God pastoral team for more than half a century.I was thoroughly indoctrinated in the teaching and tradition of American Pentecostalism. Here is a thumbnail sketch of my education and ministry experience that lends credence to my trustworthiness about knowledge of my subject.
More important than my schooling and my years of experience is the fact that I take Scripture seriously. The Holy Spirit is constantly surprising me with new insights from inspired passages. The Bible is its own truest commentary. The most common enemy of the 'whole counsel of God's Word' is a proof text taken out of context. I pledge to make the total context of Scripture my standard for determining doctrinal truth. Now that you have my topic and my credentials listed let's get on with the subject.
I rebelled against the rigid external legalism that pervaded Pentecostalism in North Carolina in the 1940's. IN 1946, contrary to my parent's wishes, I enlisted in the Army Air Corps following graduation from high School. I was confronted by Jesus Christ in 1948 and made a commitment to serve him if he would empower me by the Holy Spirit. Shortly thereafter I experience an infilling of the Holy Spirit. And, yes, this was accompanied by an expression of praise in a language provided by the Holy Spirit. I'll have much more to say about that later.
After serving my three year enlistment I enrolled in Denver University. In 1950 the Korean War broke out and I signed up for advanced ROTC. Upon graduation I was commissioned and served two years active duty before reverting to the inactive Reserves. Upon release I enrolled in the Conservative Baptist Theological Seminary (now Denver Seminary) I graduated in 1958 with academic honors. During my time in the Baptist seminary I defended vigorously my Pentecostal tradition. I used the arguments I had been schooled in from childhood by godly parents whom I respected. My academic stature won me a hearing if not the argument.
Throughout the period of time in two seminaries and in the chaplaincy, my biblical studies had been making plain that my church erred in insisting the purpose of tongues at Pentecost was to give initial evidence that the 120 had been filled with the Holy Spirit. My church erred even more grievously when it insisted that no one was baptized in the Holy Spirit unless he had the initial evidence of speaking in tongues. I began to understand that the tradition about speaking in tongues was based on a series of invalid assumptions and a wrongly interpreted purpose for the supernatural languages that accompanied the outpouring of the Spirit at Pentecost. I was facing a theological crisis concerning a doctrinal position that I could no longer assent to. If I acknowledged my dissent it would likely mean the end of my career as a Navy Chaplain. I was convinced the Lord had prepared and called me into the military chaplaincy. Had I mistaken my call? It would all come to a head in Vietnam where I was headed following my year at Princeton. But that's for the next blog. | {

Twin Cities Scene best of 2012
With the closing of the year, the KE looks back on the best restaurants, stores and cultural centers that emerged in 2012.

Pizzeria Lola – 5557 Xerxes Ave. S, Minneapolis
Neighborhood artisan pizza restaurant Pizzeria Lola, located in Southwest Minneapolis, isn't your run-of-the-mill pizza joint. Decorated with a photo booth and a wall of pictures, the atmosphere is always full of life. Although the restaurant doesn't take reservations, the pizza is always worth the wait. The menu features more creative pizza toppings than the typical cheese and pepperoni, usually with a Korean twist (chef and owner Ann Kim, a Korean immigrant, was inspired by her mother's cooking). Pizza options include "The Sunnyside" (La Quercia guanciale, pecorino, leeks, and two organic eggs served on top) and the "Lady ZaZa" (Korean sausage, kimchi, serrano peppers, and a sesame-soy chili glaze). Although the pizzas may seem out of many people's comfort zones, Chef Kim's tasty creations are sure to win over any skeptics.
Bun Mi – 604 Washington Ave. SE, Minneapolis

Bun Mi may be a hike for some people since it is located on the University campus, but with quick service and fantastic food, it's worth the drive. The sandwiches are a far cry from a chain restaurant like Subway. The spicy Vietnamese-inspired sandwiches use interesting flavors to make a delicious sandwich. Every sandwich consists of a French baguette and protein choices of BBQ pork, lemongrass chicken, or beef. Although the meat and the bread are fantastic, the spicy mayo gives the Bun Mi sandwich its special kick. The improved service in 2012 (iPads take multiple orders at once) land them a spot on our "best of" list.
Que Será – 244 Water Street, Excelsior
A new addition to Excelsior's Water Street, Que Será is a lively and eclectic boutique that offers a large selection of vintage-inspired furnishings, lighting, decorative accessories, and home accents. Que Será's Mary Lauer has popularized not only their bedding and room decor, but also their fantastic jewelry and accessories. The warm and alluring ambiance of the store makes anyone feel welcome and their fresh take on vintage decor gives a new edge to decorating.
Yogurt Lab – 3100 Excelsior Blvd., Minneapolis
Yogurt Lab came onto the scene as part of the popular frozen yogurt craze. (Hollie Christensen)
Opening in December of 2011, the Calhoun Village Yogurt Lab has already expanded across the Twin Cities. Growing in the past year with three more locations at 50th and France, the IDS Tower, and the U of M's Stadium Village, Yogurt Lab has proven that even in chilly Minnesota, frozen yogurt is a great dessert all year round. The colorful "periodic table of flavors" showcases their impressive selection of around 60 yogurt flavors that vary depending on the season, such as pumpkin in the autumn and eggnog and peppermint during the winter holidays (at least 16 flavors of yogurt are on tap at each location). In addition, they provide almost 60 different toppings at lab stations such as varieties of cereal, fruit and candy bars. With constantly changing flavors and a helpful staff, Yogurt Lab is the best place to meet up before a game or grab an after-school snack.
Cowles Center – 528 Hennipen Ave., Minneapolis
The renovated Cowles Center opened in 2012 becoming a center for dance, partnering with Minnesota Dance Theatre as well as other local dance companies. (photo courtesy of the Cowles Center)
Located on Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis, the recently opened Cowles Center for Dance and the Performing Arts has quickly become the main center for dance in the Twin Cities. The Cowles Center includes the newly renovated 500-seat Goodale Theater and the TEKBOX, a black-box style theater used by the James Sewell Ballet. Connected to the theater is the Hennepin Center for the Arts, home to 20 prominent dance and performing arts organizations, including the Minnesota Dance Theatre and the James Sewell Ballet. The Cowles Center also offers classes for aspiring dancers to learn from the pros: "Open Door!" dance classes feature a new style of dance every month and dancer J-Sun leads open hip-hop classes every Tuesday. Upcoming events include the St. Paul City Ballet from February 8-10, the Contempo Physical Dance with "Batuque" from February 1-3, exploring the samba in Brazil, and the James Sewell Ballet's "Ballet Works Project" from February 8-24, developing new work in the TEKBOX.

As Washington moved closer to a tax bill, U.S. small caps regained their footing in November, hitting new highs along the way. With this, it's surprising that U.S. large caps led the charge this month, as small caps should benefit more from tax reform. The Russell 2000 Index (R2K) has closed at record highs over 20 different times this year. This figure does not stack up against 2013, when small caps had a break out year and reached new all-time highs almost 70 different times.
After a slow start to the year, small caps have finally joined the party, rebounding 10% over the last three months. The R2K finished the month up 2.9%, trailing the S&P 500's return of 3.1%. Large caps now lead small caps by 5.0% on the year. If the S&P 500 closes positive in the month of December, 2017 will go down as the first year since the 1920s in which large caps posted a positive total return in ever single month of the calendar year.
Constant themes for 2017 have been stretched valuations and historically low volatility. The R2K trades at 21.6x, which is the most expensive it has been since 2001, when earning were at a trough. The Russell 2000 Value Index (R2KV) trades at 19.2x forward earnings, well above historical averages, while the Russell 2000 Growth Index (R2KG) trades ar 23.8x. Furthermore, on 10 different occurences this month, the VIX index closed below 10. To put this in perspective, the VIX index has only closed below this mark 52 times since 1990.
For the month, Value and Growth each gained 2.9%, which may be surprising as Consumers and Financials outperformed and Technology underperformed. September remains the only month this year where Value materially beat Growth. For the year, Growth continues to dominate Value, outperforming by 13.1%.
At the sector level, the highest taxed sectors, on average, performed well as Consumers and Banks outperformed. The former also benefitted from a better than expected earnings season. Energy posted a positive return for only the third time this year as OPEC oil output fell to its lowest figure since May. Energy continues to be the outlier for the year, declining 22.0%. On the flip side, Health Care has only posted a negative monthly return three times this year. November wasn't one of these cases, as Health Care continued its upward trajectory, returning a staggering 31.2% for the year, outperforming the second best performing sector, Producer Durables, by 12.7%.
With majority of the small cap universe reporting, earnings growth finished just under 2% in the third quarter, better than the forecast of flat growth. Though better than expected, small caps trailed large cap growth for the fifth consecutive quarter. The fourth quarter growth rate for small caps has fallen to under 12%, a figure that stood at 17% at the end of June. This has pushed up estimates in 2018 to 22%.
It was a tough month for managers due to a big shift in sector performance with Consumers and Financials outperforming and Technology lagging. For the year, only 24.4% of small cap core managers are outperforming their relative benchmarks, while Value and Growth managers have fared slightly better with 50.8% and 50.1% outperforming, respectively.

Health Content Placed in Grey's Anatomy Episode Quadrupled Awareness Among Audience
September 18, 2008 • Serial Dramas, News
Tuesday, September 16, 2008; 9:30 a.m. ET

(Day of the Event (202) 347-5270)
Washington, D.C. – Most viewers who tune in each night to television's top-rated sitcoms and dramas do so because they want to be entertained, but according to two new studies released today by the Kaiser Family Foundation, many of them are being educated about important health issues at the same time. In order to document how well viewers learn health information from entertainment television, the Foundation worked with writers at Grey's Anatomy to embed a health message in an episode, and then surveyed viewers on the topic before and after the episode aired. The storyline involved an HIV positive pregnant woman who learns that with the proper treatment, she has a 98% chance of having a healthy baby. The study found that the audience's awareness of this information increased by 46 percentage points (from 15% to 61%), a four-fold increase among all viewers. This translates to more than eight million people learning correct information about mother-to-child HIV transmission rates from watching the episode.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- Sunday was the third annual Kosher Barbecue competition in Overland park.
It's a young tradition that the Jewish community in Kansas City has come to savor.
Each year there are more entries, and this year the Kansas City BBQ Society has sanctioned the event, so the competition is stiffer.
It's actually the only kosher BBQ in the nation that is now sanctioned by the group.
There are some key differences between this competition and others. Mainly everything has to be kosher. The meat is supplied, the seasonings are all provided. Even the utensils, pots, pans, smokers and grills are provided.
It's a challenge that everyone says levels the playing field, so the best pit master wins.
"Everyone is cohesive, very friendly. If you need something, each team goes out of their way to help you and make sure you have that ingredient. It's been a challenge to try to find correct ingredients to cook with your kosher meats. It's been fun so far," said BBQ competitor Big Billy.
Of course, there were both Jewish and non-Jewish teams competing on Sunday. Some from as far away as Chicago and New York who were looking to start up their own kosher BBQ competitions. | {

Commonly called an "Aby", it is one of the oldest recorded breeds. The Aby arrived in England in 1861. Fanciers worked to improve the rosette pattern which they considered interesting and challenging. The Aby has a short, harsh coat that should display an even pattern of rosettes and ridges. The texture & length of coat, the placement and even radiation of rosettes, and good, erect ridges dividing the rosettes, are all judged according to the ARBA "Standard". The Aby also has an endearing mustache around the nose.
The Aby Satin was recognized as the 8th official breed by the ARBA in Jan., 1986. It has the same appearance as the Aby with the added beauty of the satin sheen.
One of the oldest recorded breeds. Arrived in Europe around 1580. The American comes in all the color varieties. It has been shown by fanciers in England for over 300 years. The American has a smooth coat of short hairs. The head features a "Roman" nose. It should have a body that is equally wide from shoulder to hip and a nicely developed "crown" above the shoulders and neck. Good color is just as important as good type for showing.
The first Satin breed and the 7th official breed recognized by the ARBA in Jan., 1984. Type and color should equal the American. The satin coat mutated in an American and breeding for the Satin coat started in 1976. The hair shaft of the American Satin is hollow and reflects light. A high sheen on the coat is desirable for the show table.
The Peruvian arrived in Paris around 1886-87, and came to England shortly after. When they were first shown in America under the standards of the National Breeders & Fanciers of America, there were only three recognized breeds: The American, the Abyssinian and Angoras (longhair). In the early 1930's, Angora was changed to Peruvian and the Silkie was cast aside. The Peruvian is noted for its long, silky hair. The side and rear sweeps should be of equal length for a balanced look. The forelock covers the face. When presented for judging on a show board the coat resembles a circle of hair. It is sometimes difficult to tell front from rear on a Peruvian. Show Peruvians need regular grooming and wrapping of the long coat to keep it from being soiled or tangled. It can be a challenge, but the results are stunning. Pet and breeder Peruvians are trimmed for easier care.
The Peruvian Satin was recognized as the 10th official breed in Jan., 1988, by the ARBA. It has all the appearance and qualities of the Peruvian with the additional beauty of the satin sheen.
The Silkie is one of the oldest known breeds. It became a new, recognized breed in England in 1973 and is called a "Sheltie". It has been accepted and recognized as an official breed twice in America. First, in 1932 and then again in 1980. It was called an Angora in 1932. The breed was officially re- recognized as the 6th breed by the ARBA in Jan., 1980. The coat of the Silkie should be soft, dense, and have no evidence of any rosettes or forelock. The hair should grow back from the face forming a mane. The mane sweeps from between the ears to flow over the shoulders and back. There should be no part in the mane. The side sweeps may be slightly shorter than the rear sweep. When viewed from above, the Silkie presents a "tear drop" shape. The coat of the show Silkie should be groomed and wrapped every other day. Pet and breeder Silkies are trimmed short for easier care.
The Silkie Satin was the 9th breed recognized by the ARBA in Jan., 1987. The Silkie Satin has all the features of the Silkie with the added beauty of the satin sheen to the coat.
The Teddy was recognized by the ARBA as the 5th official breed in Jan., 1978. The Teddy coat was noticed as a mutation in 1967 and a few breeders began working to improve the quality of the kink in the short hair shaft. The Teddy coat should be dense, and resilient to the touch. The show Teddy's coat is accepted in two textures: harsh or soft. The body type of the Teddy should match the American.
The Teddy Satin was the 11th breed recognized by the ARBA in Jan., 1990. It has all the qualities of the Teddy plus the satin sheen created by a hollow hair shaft.
The White-Crested, or Crested for short, was the 4th breed officially recognized by the ARBA in Jan., 1974. This is perhaps the most challenging breed to work with for a show quality animal. It must have a full white crest positioned in the center of the forehead. No white hair, except for the crest, is allowed to be present on the rest of the cavy. Some breeders have difficulty getting 1 in 50 show quality animals. The White-Crested looks like an American with a crest. You will seldom see a large entry of this beautiful breed at the show table. The White-crested breeders have bred the Satin coat into this breed. As of this printing, however, the Crested Satin is not an official breed recognized by the ARBA. | {

I'm a 33-year-old newly single mother. Actually not single, but recently separated from a man who is not my son's father.
I have been a single mother for 15 years. Throughout my adult years I have had several relationships, some long-term, some very short. I'd always said that I would never get married, and I managed to walk out on four engagements, which today I know was the right choice for me.
Two years ago I met a man who is 13 years older than me. He was single, a bit of a player and I fell madly in love quickly. I pursued him and in no time he returned the feelings. From September to December we played around, then on Jan. 1 (Happy New Year!) he told me that he loved me for the first time. That's when things got really serious. Then on Feb. 14, we moved in together, and on Feb. 26, we got married in a very private, personal wedding.
My son and my husband never really got to know each other until the day came for us to live together. They seemed to have started off on the wrong foot. No matter how I tried, it never seemed to get any better. Thinking back now I think the only one who did try was me! My son left six months later and went to live with his father. I stayed and tried to make my marriage work. After a year, it was still too difficult to be the mother I knew how to be and be a wife. So my husband and I separated in July (this year).
Now after two months of separation, I want him back. My son is living with me once again, doing better than ever, and my husband wants to make it work as well. We are not living together yet — we plan to take our time and try to work things out, but he is a truck driver and only home for a day here and there, so the opportunity for us all to spend time together and work things out is very little and I find that very frustrating. How can we work things out when there's no time together? My son and my husband are finding a new respect for each other, the nit picking has eased up and now here I sit patiently waiting for the time to see if this is actually workable.
I find it very confusing. Should I wait and see? Is it possible for things to change or am I fooling myself? My son will be gone when he finishes high school. He wants to move away to go to college, and I'm sure he will. Then I'll be alone, and I really wonder about it all.
I've been told I'm commitment phobic because I don't stick it out and try harder to make it work. I know at times I run, but am I running for legitimate reasons?
I don't see the issue the same way you do; it doesn't seem to me that you are phobic about commitment. But you are a bit impatient for things to change, and these things take time. You had a whirlwind "courtship" and marriage. Then you discovered the things that couples discover when they take time to know each other.
It sounds as if everything is in place now; your son is home, your husband wants to work things out — so why not wait and see what comes? That's where your real work will begin.
These things happen the way they are supposed to, not the way we necessarily want them to. You say your husband is a good man, a good husband — and those men are hard to find. Stick it out and be patient. At the very least, you owe it to your marriage to see if it can work this time. I think, too, that it's smart to wait before he moves in. Try dating, try some outings with all three of you, try some long phone conversations. Take your time. If it's meant to be, it will all work out. | {

The Platelet inhibition Registry in ACS EvalUation Study (PIRAEUS) working group has published their third paper on real world data on P2Y12-receptor inhibitor use, based on contemporary European acute coronary syndrome (ACS) registries. As a follow-up to their initial methodology paper and the first data review paper on ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients, they now discuss non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).
Data of ten registries involving 84054 patients were available on outcomes in general, and six registries could provide data (52173 patients) specified based on the specific P2Y12-receptor inhibitor used. Heterogeneity was large for patient characteristics and outcome definition between registries, thus no formal meta-analysis could be performed.
In these NSTE-ACS patients, rates of death and other ischaemic events were comparable with or somewhat higher than those seen in phase III P2Y12-receptor inhibitor trials. The same was true for major bleedings. As compared with the STEMI cohorts in the same registries event rates shortly after the ACS event were lower.
Patient characteristics differed between those receiving clopidogrel, prasugrel or ticagrelor. Baseline characteristics suggest that product labelling of the individual P2Y12 receptor inhibitors were followed. Due to age differences between the therapy cohorts, and because adjustment for age would not be appropriate, outcomes cannot be compared between treatments.
The PIRAEUS NSTE-ACS study therefore mostly serves to provide an impression of current treatment strategy for NSTE across Europe. Future analyses aiming to compare data gathered in various registries would benefit from more standardisation of data collection.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) formally agreed Wednesday to its first global oil production reduction in eight years, announcing its members would cut output by 1.2 million b/d effective Jan. 1, which sent U.S. and Brent prices soaring for the day.
U.S. crude futures surged almost 8% in early trading following the announcement to about $48.56/bbl on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent prices jumped close to 8% as well to trade at about $51/bbl on the ICE Futures Exchange.
Across the board, the value of U.S.-based unconventional exploration companies jumped, with No. 1 independent ConocoPhillips' share price rising almost 10% on the day. Devon Energy Corp.'s price rose by 14.6%, while Encana Corp. was up 12.6%. Chesapeake Energy Corp. saw its price climb almost 10%, while Anadarko Petroleum Corp.'s stock increased by almost 15%.
The price gains came after members of the Saudi Arabia-led cartel reached the agreement in Vienna, which reduces output from its current ceiling of 33.6 million b/d to about 32.5 million b/d, representing a reduction of around 1% of global production. Saudi Arabia is to make the biggest reductions, estimated at around 486,000 b/d.
A tentative deal also has been reached for several key non-OPEC countries, including Russia, to reduce their combined production by another 600,000 b/d. Russia has proposed reducing its output by 300,000 b/d, according to OPEC President Mohammed Saleh Abdulla Al Sada, Qatar's energy and industry minister. He held a press conference following the OPEC meeting.
Asked how the reductions by the cartel may impact U.S. shale producers, whose expertise in pumping unconventional oil has pressured prices, Al Sada said domestic operators would act with or without OPEC decisions.
OPEC, he said, had "taken measures to get the market rebalanced. We're not saying the rebalancing is going to come...purely from OPEC...but producers outside OPEC, they will react to the price and they will see their position, etc." and decide whether they want to increase production or not. "But we cannot see the threat of shale gas, shale oil, because again, there will be a look at how much it will cost them" if they decide to increase the oil surplus.
"They will do it anyway without us interfering," Al Sada said of whether domestic operators choose to increase output as oil prices rise on OPEC's cuts. "We are considering, to the best of our knowledge, a mechanism of rebalancing...We think this measure will help rebalancing...." He cautioned that U.S. operators would have to decide whether they wanted to take the risk, which could be "expensive...They will see whether they can afford" to increase production."
The agreement came the same day the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported a draw in domestic crude oil inventories of 88,4000 bbl last week.
OPEC "surprised" the market by coming to a substantial agreement, said BMO Capital Markets analyst Randy Ollenberger.
"We believe that OPEC's actions place a floor under crude oil prices and support a trading range of $45-$55/bbl," he said, "with the low-end supported by OPEC actions and high-end established by U.S. shale production economics."
The OPEC agreement "represents a shift in mindset...from market share to price maximization," said Sanford C. Bernstein Ltd.'s team. "Two years ago OPEC surprised the market by not cutting production. OPEC's objective was to slow investment and bring supply and demand back to balance. This has been largely achieved, although shale has proved far more resilient than imagined."
Once the reductions are implemented, the oil markets should move into a 0.5 million b/d deficit in the first half of 2017, according to Bernstein. "By the second half of 2017, the deficit could be substantial with a supply deficit of over 1 million b/d. We expect significant cut in inventories going forward, which will put upward pressure on oil prices.
"Given the undersupply which will exist in the market from the start of 2017 onwards, there could be as much as 300 million bbl of inventory draws, which will come a long way to draining inventories back to normalized levels."
A key risk to the agreement could be the response by U.S. unconventional producers, analysts said. Shale producers "will respond," but they "cannot offset these cuts," according to Bernstein.
ClearView Energy Partners LLC said "a sustained increase to oil prices is unlikely to occur until global petroleum inventories are reduced." OPEC "needs to follow through on" the quota announcement, "or a second OPEC production cut may be needed" in the second half of 2017.
"We believe the group will need to consider actual first half 2017 oil supply data from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Nigeria, Russia and the United States before Saudi Arabia might be willing to backstop another supply reduction," ClearView analysts said.
The agreement is to be reviewed in six months when OPEC members meet on May 25 and could be extended. Current OPEC member Indonesia, which rejoined last year following a seven-year absence, has requested and been suspended from the group as it now is a net oil importer and is unable to participate, Al Sada said.
OPEC has established a monitoring committee to check production levels of the members, which is comprised of representatives from Algeria, Kuwait and Venezuela.
"Historically, OPEC's compliance to its production quotas has been poor; however, even with moderate levels of compliance, we believe that OPEC's action should establish a floor price for oil," BMO's Ollenberger said.
Oil prices could jump to $55-60/bbl in the short-term, and while prices on Wednesday reacted positively, there could be more upside to come, according to Bernstein analysts. | {

The Suzuka 8-Hour, the final event in the FIM's World Endurance championship, runs this weekend in Japan (July 29), and if you're a clever clogs, you might be able to figure out how to see it online. Otherwise, you can see the highlights on Velocity.
Eurosport is showing the entire race on its website, so if you're smart enough to figure out how to access that feed, it's there for the watching.
Velocity (check your local cable/satellite listings for channel number) is supposed to show a 44-minute summary of the race at some point, but as the channel's Canadian website seems to be encountering technical difficulties, we can't tell you when. Keep an eye on the channel guide?
The provisional entry list for the Suzuka is here. As of the 21st of July, 64 teams were entered, featuring mostly Japanese riders, but also some Brits, some French riders, assorted other Euro racers, some Aussies and some Americans. No Canadians are entered this year. F.C.C. TSR Honda France is the leading team going in this weekend, with 146 points, followed by GMT Yamaha with 136 points and Honda Endurance Racing with 109 points. | {

Work and passion: Blend or balance?
Influential women in business talk about their personal passion projects
by Marie Milner — June 30, 2017
Suzanne Thompson, owner/operator of Kootenay Therapy Centre, and Leanne Jensen, president of New Dawn Restorations, are women of influence in Cranbrook's business community. — Marie Milner photo
"Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life" is a quote attributed to Confucius, and we agree wholeheartedly. Passion for our work is sometimes all we need to keep our energy high and our perspective fresh. At other times, it takes a contrasting demand on our minds and bodies to restore our inner resources.
The women we feature here were included on the 2017 Kootenay Business magazine list of influential women in business, and we set out to learn a little more about them. The question we asked was: "What is your current passion project?"
Michelle Forbes, co-owner, Kimberley City Bakery, Kimberley
I currently have two personal passion projects. Most people are aware of the Kimberley City Bakery Medieval Festival. This has been a project that has had a huge impact on our family, with both our three- and four-year-old talking about Vikings on a regular basis and all three of our children playing and drawing with Viking themes. It has allowed us to meet so many people who would otherwise not have been a part of our life and has taught us an entire history, folklore and culture that we have grown to love.
"My other passion has alway been writing—songs, poetry, stories and music. I have started to delve back into that passion, writing more stories and songs to share with my children and looking at the possibility of publishing and sharing them with the world. I find that having a creative outlet—whether I am singing, playing the guitar, the piano or other instruments, or writing stories, songs or poetry—is a much needed outlet when everything else seems overwhelming. I believe that it is imperative that the more busy we become, the more we need to ensure there is something we love doing that we can make time to do for ourselves and lets us leave our mark on the world.
Brenda Palmer, owner, Mrs. Palmer's Pantry
I have a couple of passion projects in mind for when the business doesn't need as much of my time as it does now. One is to do public speaking to encourage and inspire other women who find themselves in oppressive situations. I can speak directly to the issue of pulling yourself up out of a bad situation, and I'm grateful to have had support and encouragement along the way. Women need to know that they can be strong and accomplished and "enough," and not need to rely on someone else to look after them. That said, I'm immensely grateful for the love and support of my spouse. He is my partner in love, life and business. I'm the dreamer, he's the realist, and we balance each other out and make a pretty good team.
There's a smaller thing I'm also excited about, and that's writing a cookbook. There are many busy people who don't learn to cook and don't teach their children how to cook, and I'm aiming my book at this group. I'm a hopeless romantic and I believe there's a lot of romance in cooking together, enjoying good food and good wine. People don't take enough time for each other, and cooking is a great way to spend time together.
Jodi Gravelle, chief operating officer, ʔaq̓am community
The Ktunaxa language. I am passionate about ensuring we provide adequate platforms for ʔaq̓am members to share and revive their language and cultural practices. Ktunaxa is an isolate language and cannot be compared to any other. Due to the residential school system, our fluent speakers are far and few between. Great efforts have been made to ensure that we turn that around.
Andrea Wilkey, executive director, Community Futures Central, Nelson
Building the tech and knowledge worker community in our region and the creation of a Nelson Innovation Centre.
Tersia de Jager, co-owner, Columbia Gardens Vineyard, Trail
I love that you use the word passion. That describes what I am working on perfectly! I have a genuine passion for women and started hosting Woman of Worth workshops a year ago. My preferred topic to speak about is "From passion to purpose!" I also invite other speakers and get great pleasure in inspiring women from all over our region.
Rose Hoeher, independent contractor, Nelson Economic Development, Nelson
My personal passion project is to help female tech entrepreneurs succeed.
Tamsin Snodgrass and Christine Therriault-Finke, owners, Movin' Mountains Therapy, Trail
Over the past few years, Movin' Mountains has been both of our personal passion projects. We have poured our hearts and souls into creating a place where children and their families feel supported. We realize how lucky we are to be in a job that we love so much. We are also so grateful to have a dedicated staff who share our passions. From this, many amazing ideas for programming have come forth to enhance our clients' skills in the areas that they are working to improve. These include bike camps, social communication groups, yoga classes, fine motor skills, parent education and support groups, make-it-and-take-it workshops, postnatal care groups and talks and young women athlete injury prevention groups. We love seeing our clients thrive!
Leanne Jensen, president, New Dawn Restorations Ltd., Cranbrook
I'm passionate about my work and helping others with repairs and improvement to their homes, which are often their largest assets and investments. Aside from my work, making glass beads and jewellry is a passion that feeds my soul when I do take some personal time. I have a studio set up in my basement for that, but it's probably been two years since I had time to make any. I have torches and kilns and glass rods—I just have to find the time to go down there and use them.
Suzanne Thompson, owner/operator, Kootenay Therapy Centre, Cranbrook
I'm looking forward to working with other individuals in the community to provide better women's health education. The education needs to be more comprehensive, taking us from still-growing girls through all the stages and conditions in women's lives. I think we need something that's far more holistic and global.
Twenty years ago my interests were more diverse, but my whole passion now is in working with women. That's what I'd like the last part of my career to be about.

In the lead-in to the election, a wash of news stories raised the alarm that turnout would be low. Nearly all of the stories were based on the assumption that readers would agree low voter turnout in our communities is cause for concern.
Not everyone agrees that this is a problem. Some seem to think that low turnout is actually good for democracy.
We know there are plenty of candidates and political strategists who have a vested interest in seeing few people turn up at the polls. But there are those who argue that some citizens shouldn't be casting ballots at all, regardless of their political affiliation. For years, National Election Study surveys have shown that a large percentage of Americans – at times near a majority – have believed that only interested voters should vote in elections.
Arguments for voting restrictions often make a connection between the right to vote and the level of information or the amount of stake a voter has in the decisions being made. Only "informed" voters or those who "contribute" to society – like by holding a mortgage or paying taxes – should be allowed to vote.
We see these arguments for voting restrictions alive and well in many places in our society, but the Internet and social media make it all too easy to aggressively – and anonymously – propagate them. Read the comment sections of any news article on low voter turnout and you will typically see a large percentage of commenters who claim that the "less informed" should not be allowed to participate in the electoral process. You'll also see a good number of comments that go further to express mocking or hateful opinions.
Youths have always been a major target of this kind of disdain. Read an article about low youth turnout and you are likely to find denigrating comments about "dumb kids" who don't have a stake in the world or enough life experience to make good decisions.
Look further and you'll also find comments about "illiterate" voters, low-income voters and even naturalized citizens. Here in California, an awful lot of folks want the world to know that Latinos are stealing their state and democracy. Some vitriol even comes from self-identified nonvoters, whose resentment over our diverse electorate seems to serve as a cover for their own nonparticipation.
Some of this hostility may spring from the growing polarization between blue and red segments of California. Whatever the source, it points to a dangerous trend. Democratic theorists warn us that we cross a line once we start requiring voters to somehow "prove" their worthiness to vote.
In the course of our history, we have heard many arguments justifying the systematic disenfranchisement of large segments of our population on a variety of grounds. Literacy tests, poll taxes and other restrictions were once used in many states to intentionally deny people their civil rights. Today, barriers to voting still exist. The National Commission on Voting Rights has documented that many voters across the country, including in California, continue to face challenges in exercising their right to vote.
Supporting these arguments can lead us to once again deny the vote based on racist, sexist or other discriminatory motives.
Our civic culture is anemic and needs reform. So how do we create a more inclusive system when many people aren't supportive of a broader electorate? We should start by acknowledging how widespread these negative attitudes are in our public discourse. Exposing this part of our culture could be an important first step toward creating a stronger civic education in our schools and communities. Ignoring it might mean further eroding our democracy – something we can't afford.

Once again a bugfix release of CakePHP has been released. The release is labelled as 1.1.9.3815, but in fact it is 1.1.9.3817. If you get an error in the ConnectionManager class, you were too fast with downloading the new release and you got a faulty version. In that case, download it again, and the problem disappears.
Download the new release from CakeForge, and read the official announcement and the changelog.
Update (2006-11-04): In the meantime version 1.1.10.3825 has been released, which fixes some more bugs. Thanks to Dieter@be for the hint! | {

Experts are warning lawmakers that, when it comes to self-driving cars, "someone is going to die." This is compared to current vehicles in which no one has ever died.
The robot car revolution hit a speed bump on Tuesday as senators and tech experts sounded stern warnings about the potentially fatal risks of self-driving cars. "There is no question that someone is going to die in this technology," said Duke University roboticist Missy Cummings in testimony before the US Senate committee on commerce, science and transportation. "The question is when and what can we do to minimize that." | {

EFF tells UN: Anonymity and Encryption are the Guardians of Free Expression
By Danny O'Brien and Katitza Rodriguez
In June 2015, the U.N's free speech watchdog, David Kaye, intends to present a new report on anonymity and encryption before the 47 Member States of the Geneva-based Human Rights Council. Yesterday, EFF filed comments urging Mr. Kaye to reaffirm the freedom to use encryption technology and to protect the right to speak, access and read information anonymously. Mr. Kaye's report could be one of the most significant opportunities to strengthen our fundamental freedoms in the digital age at the international level.
Mr. Kaye's official title is "Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression." Special Rapporteurs are independent experts appointed by the Human Rights Council to examine and report back on a specific human rights theme. His mandate is part of the Special Procedures, a central element of the United Nations human rights machinery that contributes to the development of international human rights standards.
In our submission, specifically we urge the Mr. Kaye to include in his report that:
Anonymity must not be restricted a priori. Strong anonymity, where records are not kept, and where privacy-protecting tools obscure the identity of an individual, should always be available.
Compelled disclosure must only occur once a legally defined offense has been committed.
The due process rights of a speaker should be respected before identifying that individual in response to a request to do so.
Judicial systems, not extrajudicial decision-making processes, are best suited to balance citizens' right to anonymous expression with the need to provide a mechanism to redress wrongs.
Legal regimes must ensure rigorous consideration of the free expression and privacy rights of the speaker before compelling any identification.
In the absence of encryption, online communications can easily be intercepted by anyone, not just the police.
Individuals and government agencies should all use strong encryption routinely. Our submission warns that the security and anonymity of communications can be undermined by laws that limit the use of privacy-enhancing tools.
States should defend the individual freedom to use encryption technology and to publish and distribute encryption technologies and research.
Prohibitions on encryption and the mandatory inclusion of "back doors" in secure software and equipment are dangerous to the security and freedom of all.
Internet intermediaries should not block or limit the transmission of encrypted communications.
Internet service providers should be encouraged to design systems for end-to-end encryption.
We also identified some of the world's governments' best and worst policies and practices for the protection of anonymity.
We hope the report reaffirms the fundamental freedoms that allow the Internet's ability to serve as a vehicle for free expression. The past few months have demonstrated a growing movement by some politicians to strip anonymity from Internet users, and outlaw encryption, at the very moment where we have seen the importance (and difficulty) of defending the privacy of digital communications. The Special Rapporteur's report is the perfect opportunity to speak up in favor of two of the best defenses we have against ubiquitous surveillance, and for a vibrant and free Internet.

One nice thing about democracy is that—at least in theory—we don't need permission to speak freely and privately. We don't have to prove that our speech meets the government's criteria, online or offline. We don't have to "earn" our rights to free speech or privacy.Times have changed. Today, some U.S....

The U.S. Government Is Targeting Cryptocurrency to Expand the Reach of Its Financial Surveillance

The Furnace Woods Elementary School PTA works diligently to strengthen the backbone of the school through education programs and parental involvement. They push opportunity and are consistent in their efforts to open up new doors for their students in progressive ways.
"FWS PTA is made up of volunteer parents, who help ensure the wellbeing of all the children in the school through enrichment programs," PTA chair of afterschool activities Renata Smith says.
One of the PTA's offerings is an afterschool program that the association designed to provide enriching experiences for FWS students in a familiar environment after the school day ends.
The 15-19 clubs cover all manner of learning opportunities including an aeronautic engineering class where kids build model airplanes and test them, and "Social Sensory Detectives", in which kids use their senses to identify emotions and solve social mysteries.
The afterschool enrichment program at Furnace Woods consists of three semesters of programs, and their enrollment process was an inefficient and outdated paper system in which more than 200 students used "backpack mail" to transport written registration forms to their parents.
Next, collecting payments was difficult to track because the process involved handwritten checks. The students carried the checks and their completed registration forms back to the school so that the PTA could complete enrollment. Renata says the process was time-consuming and hard to keep organized.
Furthermore, class maximums were difficult to enforce when using a paper enrollment system. For example, each afterschool club had a limit to the number of students who could enroll, in order to keep class sizes manageable. With paper registration, it was nearly impossible to enroll students on a first-come, first-served basis.
We at SimplyAfterschool knew we were a perfect match for the FWS PTA's needs because we had just the right tools to implement an updated system that complemented FWS's innovative afterschool program.
First, paper registration is a difficult operation to manage, but we provided a system for enrollment that is a fully web-based paperless registration. Not only is it user-friendly, but it requires no head counts or manual data entry. Our software creates a no-hassle roster, where program administrators can view fully, up-to-date class attendees with one click.
Next, we helped FWS PTA update their system for collecting registration fees. Our real-time transaction tracker monitors all payments 24/7, so that the PTA can instantly see who signed up for each class, and issue refunds if needed.
Finally, the PTA's class maximums are now easy to manage because our software uses an automated waitlist when a club reaches its capacity. In real-time, administrators can see who is enrolled and who is on the waitlist.
Renata says that SimpyAfterschool's solutions are a tremendous time saver that makes the process for program enrollment and payment easier for parents. Large enrollment numbers followed the implementation of the software.
Parents say they love the new process, according to Renata, and administrators enjoy the fact that there are no monthly or yearly subscriptions to use the SimpyAfterschool technology.
Renata also finds it easy now to create new clubs, email parents, monitor transactions and give refunds. In addition, she says the customer service is great.
Before the SimplyAfterschool's solutions were used by the PTA, Renata spent hours sending out registration forms, gathering the enrollee's information and payments, and manually creating rosters. Now, with a few clicks, she can complete the process, so that she can focus more of her time on the students and parents of FWS. | {

our grass fed meats and fresh seafood online not only because it is more convenient but many times it costs less than the local grocery store! We have done a lot of research to find the best products that dont have any junk added and are quality ingredients so you dont have to be a detective like we are. Check out this video walk through of my pantry! I get approached all the time to have advertisements on my website and I get offered thousands of dollars a month for it, but you know what?
We even included the beauty and skin products we use since you know what you put on your skin is just as important as what you put in your mouth. Need help knowing what supplements to take for different conditions we have detailed supplement plans here. ButcherBox, RealGood Pizza, BeautyCounter ) are companies that really care about your health and not only that, they are super kind business owners that we love to support! I found it so intrusive and it covered up the message I want you to leave my website with. And you may have seen me mention this before, but we do not have advertisements on my blog. . My husband, Craig, even made it into this convenient PDF file that you can download to any device and take with you! Craig and I also included many of the kitchen tools we use and love. I adore that I now can fast forward commercials on the tv shows I record because right before bed I swear they always show foods like pizza and even though I wasnt hungry, I wanted pizza after I saw. I dont want you to see temping junk food on my website. I want my website to be a safe place to be educated and encouraged on your ketogenic lifestyle. Why am I expressing this? Instead of doing advertisements, Craig and I researched and found healthy foods and products to keep you in ketosis and heal your body from the inside out. | {

A commercial total conversion of Doom 2. A failure on the market, but a landmark release for modders, it helped launch the careers of several artists and level designers.
Banjo Software
HacX is a commercial add-on for Doom II. While it mostly retains the original gameplay formula, the plot of HacX is completely unrelated to the Doom franchise. Play HacX online!
HacX game description
The protagonist of HacX is a high-profile hacker called Danny Evanger. The background story tells how he had hacked into the classified database of Genemp Corporation, a company involved in biotechnology development. The database, called GENIE, was able to block the hacking attempt, resulting in Danny Evanger's arrest and lifetime imprisonment. Without hope of ever returning to hacking, Danny takes up intensive weight training to survive the harsh prison environment. However, one day he is contacted by a government agent. A nationwide chaos has erupted, and the government suspects that an international consortium of high-tech conglomerates might be behind this. Danny's skills as the best hacker in the field are required to verify this, and his augmented physical strength should also help get the job done.
The player's objective is thus to infiltrate the corporate databases and acquire evidence of their involvement in the crisis. The gameplay is mostly the same as in Doom – you run through levels, kill monsters and search for a keycard from time to time. The levels are however more detailed and realistic, similar to Duke Nukem 3D. Some modifications were also made to the Doom II engine to allow for extensions such as destructible objects.
A distinctive feature of HacX are the "cyberspace" levels. According to the plot, Danny received from the government an implanted device called Genemp Microtel, which allows to physically travel through cyberspace. This facilitates transitions between different locations and even countries. Cyberspace levels have unique elements such as invisible floors with different elevations, and extra enemies that do not appear elsewhere in the game.
HacX has its own set of textures, sprites, sound effects and music, and does not use any of the original Doom II content. Weapons and powerups have different names and appearance, but most of them remain the same or only slightly modified compared to Doom games. Many monsters however underwent significant changes in behaviour and strength, and are very different from their Doom counterparts.

Easter- The Fertility of It All
Posted on October 10, 2016 March 27, 2020 by YRM
Is Easter in the Bible?
Egg-laying rabbits; hot cross buns; Lent and ham dinners; sun-centered worship — why the strange customs? Why the strange name, "Easter"?
On an early Sunday morning in April dad gets up and stumbles in the darkness searching for his best suit. He swallows a quick juice and heads off to the church. There he joins 20 of his friends gathered outside. As they look to the eastern sky they become enraptured by the brilliance of the dawning sun. Someone begins to sing a hymn. Others join in, faces glowing as they respond in adoration of the warming rays of the yellow orb.
Back home mother drives the chill from the house as she warms the oven. The smell of baking dough will spread to the bedrooms, beckoning awakening children to join her in making sugary crosses on toasty cakes.
A fat ham roasts in the oven. Dad's mouth waters as he anticipates returning home and dining on the ritual offerings he has come to savor each spring. But first one more prayer with hands stretched upward in praise as the vernal sun rises to jumpstart the life-cycle of another new year.
As he heads home he notices many others celebrating the return of spring in groves of trees that line the road.
The year is 500 years before the Messiah. Prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah conveyed Yahweh's disdain for a celebration that not only has survived millennia, but even blossomed into one of the major celebrations of Christianity today—Easter.
Easter takes its name from a deity of the Chaldeans known as Astarte or Ishtar. "Her presence was thought to guarantee fertility, and in her absence the land, humans, and animals could not reproduce," Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature.
Easter a Phantom Observance
But is Easter in the Bible? Can we find the word Easter? Only in Acts 12:4 in the King James Version. It is a mistranslation of the Greek Pascha or Passover.
Barnes Notes says about the KJV's changing the term Passover to Easter: "There was never a more absurd or unhappy translation than this. The original is simply after the Passover."
Here's how other versions translate Acts 12:4:
New Living Translation:
"… Herod's intention was to bring Peter out for public trial after the Passover."
International Standard Version
"…planning to bring him out to the people after Passover season."
"…intending after the Passover to bring him out before the people."
"…intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people."
Bible in Basic English
"…his purpose being to take him out to the people after the Passover."
"…intending, after the pasch, to bring him forth to the people."
"… intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover."
Young's Literal Translation
"… intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people."
"…Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover."
New King James:
"… intending to bring him before the people after Passover."
Notice the preceding verse 3 of Acts 12: "These were the days of unleavened bread." What connection does the Feast of Unleavened Bread have with Easter? None. What does Easter have to do with the Feast of Unleavened Bread? Nothing. But the Passover and Feast of UB have a lot to do with each other. In the law the Feast follows the Passover on the 15th of Abib.
The early New Testament believers in Acts were still observing the Old Testament's Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread! Never did Yahshua the Messiah or His apostles or any of the Jews of their day observe Easter.
Easter today is known in other languages by words that link it directly to Passover: French-Paques; Italian-Pasqua; Spanish-Pascua; Dutch – Pasen. The word for Easter sounds similar in each of these languages. The problem is, it doesn't sound at all like "Easter" but like the original and scriptural "Passover."
Its absence in the ancient manuscripts shows that the Easter celebration was completely missing in New Testament worship. This fact has not escaped even secular sources. The New Werner Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica says, "There is no trace of the celebration of Easter as a Christian festival in the New Testament or in the writings of the apostolic fathers," vol. VII, p. 531.
It wasn't until 800 years after Yahshua that an observance of His resurrection was ever called Easter.
Nelsons Illustrated Bible Dictionary says on p. 317, "Easter was originally a pagan festival honoring Eostre, a Teutonic [Germanic] goddess of light and spring. At the time of the vernal equinox, sacrifices were offered in her honor. As early as the 8th century the name was used to designate the annual Christian celebration of the resurrection of Messiah."
The word "Easter" is a renaming and completely unauthorized replacement of the Passover. The Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica makes this short and eyeopening statement: "The name Easter (German Ostern) like the names of the days of the week, is a survival from the old Teutonic mythology. According to Bede, it is derived from Eostre or Ostara, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring, to whom the month answering to our April, and called Eostur-monath, was dedicated."
Historically, Easter is the celebration of the ancient queen of heaven, Ishtar, the Babylonian goddess of fertility, love, war, and sex. Her beau was the Babylonian Tammuz (Greek Adonis). She is the same goddess worshiped throughout the Near East and Mediterranean worlds almost from the beginning of recorded history. She was variously known as Inanna, Innin, Astarte, Ashtar, the Greek Aphrodite, and the Roman Venus.
Solar Survivals a Heathen Legacy
Virtually all heathen religions of antiquity worshiped the sun. In Ezekiel's day Judah had incorporated sun worship into their own worship of Yahweh. Yahweh was no more happy with their doing that than He is with admixing the same practices today and calling it a "biblical" observance. We have no authority to make our own worship. Doing so is making Yahweh into our image.
We read that this idolatry consumed ancient Judah in Ezekiel 8: "Then he brought me to the entrance to the north gate of the house of Yahweh, and I saw women sitting there, mourning for Tammuz. He said to me, 'Do you see this, son of man? You will see things that are even more detestable than this.'
"He then brought me into the inner court of the house of Yahweh, and there at the entrance to the temple, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men. With their backs toward the temple of Yahweh and their faces toward the east, they were bowing down to the sun in the east."
The sun-worship services of the backslidden Israelites, with their women participating in the rites of Astarte worship (Easter) and weeping for Tammuz was detestable to Almighty Yahweh. Little angers our Father in heaven more than embracing the idolatry of the heathen nations.
No Commemoration for the Resurrection
Nothing about memorializing Yahshua's resurrection is commanded anywhere in the Bible. The proper observance of Yahshua's death is the Passover, for which we have plenty of commands and examples in both Old and New testaments. Yahweh instructs, "These are the feasts of Yahweh, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their seasons. In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is Yahweh's Passover," Leviticus 23:4-5. Nowhere is man given authority to alter this observance or morph it into something else.
Early believers observed the Passover according to the command. Ultimately the Roman church instituted Easter. "The Passover, ennobled by the thought of [the Messiah] the true Paschal Lamb, the first-fruits from the dead, continued to be celebrated and became the Christian Easter" (Britannica).
In the Passover-to-Easter transformation, the first act was to change the day on which Passover was observed. The Britannica notes, "A difference as to the time of its observance speedily sprang up between Christians of Jewish and Gentile descent, which led to a long-continued and bitter controversy, and an unhappy severance of Christian union."
Some of the early churches stuck with the biblical command for the 14th of Abib. They were called Quartodecimani and were regarded as heretics.
Others couldn't decide which day of the week they would observe the "holy day" and did as they saw fit. "In the words of Epiphanius, 'Some,' he writes, 'began the festival before the week, some after the week, some at the beginning, some at the middle, some at the end, thus creating a wonderful and laborious confusion,' " Ibid.
It finally took a papal decree of Pius I to settle the issue. And thus we have the modern Easter falling on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox.
They Couldn't Stick with Scripture
It would be bad enough to keep an arbitrary day named and observed for a pagan deity in honor of the Savior. But the atrocity doesn't stop there.
The many trappings of the Easter rite sank the participant further into the abyss of idolatry. As the Roman Church grew it encountered heathen nations who held tenaciously to their idol worship and man-made customs. The Roman Church recognized that to amalgamate these peoples into its church-state, it would need to make an easy crossover for them. Rather than forcing the pagans to drop their worship altogether, the church found it expedient to recognize as much as possible their heathen rites in its own ecclesiastical calendar.
This blending of beliefs is explained by James G. Frazer in his book, The Golden Bough: "Taken altogether, the coincidences of the Christian and the heathen festivals are too close and too numerous to be accidental. They mark the compromise which the church in the hour of its triumph was compelled to make with its vanquished yet still dangerous rivals. The inflexible Protestantism of the primitive missionaries, with fiery denunciations of heathendom, had been exchanged for the supple policy, the easy tolerance, the comprehensive charity of shrewd ecclesiastics, who clearly perceived that if Christianity was to conquer the world it could do so only by relaxing the too rigid principles of its founder, by widening a little the narrow gate which leads to salvation."
With those carryovers came the inclusion of the idol-rooted customs of eggs, rabbits, hot cross buns, ham dinners, bonfires, lent, and sunrise services all used in pagan worship.
Each of these was related either to sun worship, fertility worship of pagan deities and worship of life itself or, as in the custom of eating swine, a snub of the Jews they disdained.
Easter hams get their origin from the corn goddess and counterpart to Astarte, Demeter, whose mascot was the pig.
The heathens believed that by eating what represented their god, in this case swine, that they were literally partaking of their god.
What does Yahweh think of those who practice such things each year? Note Isaiah 65:3-5. "A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day."
None of Easter's traditions can be found in connection with pure worship of the Bible. Not Lent. Not Good Friday. Not Easter itself.
It is no coincidence that Easter involves symbols of eggs and rabbits, historically representing fruitful reproduction. Consider Easter's bizarre melding of two powerful symbols of fertility — egg-laying rabbits. It's a powerful example of the whole absurdity of using this observance to celebrate Yahshua's resurrection.
The Catholic Encyclopedia, 1909 ed., has the following admission: "A great many pagan customs, celebrating the return of spring, gravitated to Easter. The egg is the emblem of the germinating life of early spring…The rabbit is a pagan symbol and has always been a symbol of fertility."
The egg became associated with Astarte or Venus, when she hatched from a giant one that fell from heaven. The egg to the ancient represented the entire universe, which engenders everything. It is round, like the world, and is the universal principle of new life. The mystic egg was venerated in most paganistic nations of the world: Greece, Egypt, Persia, Babylon, India, Japan, and Phoenicia.
Lent on Loan from the Ancients
The 40-day, pre-Easter "fast" known as Lent is an appendage of the mythologies of Greece and Rome. But as with much of false worship, the custom of Lent was original with Babylonian paganism.
"From Arnobius we learn that the fast which the pagans observed, called 'Castus' or the 'sacred' fast, was, by the Christians in his time, believed to have been primarily in imitation of the long fast of Ceres, when for many days she determinedly refused to eat on account of her 'excess of sorrow,' that is, on the account of the loss of her daughter Proserpine, when carried away by Pluto, the god of hell," Alexander Hislop, The Two Babylons, p. 105.
Because the early Roman church had no direction from Scripture on the observance of Lent, its first steps with the custom were faltering. "Originally, even in Rome, Lent with the preceding revelries of the Carnival, was entirely unknown; and even when fasting before the Christian Pasch was held to be necessary, it was by slow steps that, in this respect, it came to conform with the ritual of paganism," The Two Babylons p. 106.
At first, Lent was only half as long as the present 40 days. Hislop explains, "But at last, when the worship of Astarte was rising into the ascendant, steps were taken to get the whole Chaldean Lent of six weeks, or forty days, made imperative on all within the Roman Empire of the West," pp. 106-107.
Each year before Easter we see people walking around with palm ash in the shape of a cross smudged in the middle of their foreheads. They are marking the 40 days from Ash Wednesday to Easter. It's a time supposed to be spent in penitence and fasting, and is a practice completely missing from the Scriptures.
Cakes for a Pagan's Deity
Mother's making of hot cross buns for Easter traces to worship of the goddess Astarte or Easter. Jeremiah the prophet underscored this abomination in speaking Yahweh's denunciation of these same heathen practices of his day: "See not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other deities, that they may provoke Me to anger,"Jeremiah 7:18.
In Jeremiah 44:19 is another stinging rebuke of those who offered to the pagan goddess. The prophet says in one of the succeeding verses, "Yahweh could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which you have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day," verse 22. He continues, that because His people rejected His laws and statutes, a curse would befall them.
Various pagans have depicted Astarte differently, but always in connection with procreation. Her worship is alive and well today in the symbols and customs of Easter.
Passover: the Right Observance for Today
Yahweh tells us in Proverbs 14:12 that even if we think we are serving Yahweh in ways that seem okay to us, that those ways are still wrong and carry an ultimate penalty. "There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death."
The masses just blindly fall into this observance each year because everyone else is just blindly falling into it. Unless something drastic happens to a person, he will continue traditional ways just as his parents did and their parents did and their parents did. And he won't ever question why! We truly are slaves to habit, to custom, to routine, to convention and to ritual.
Our Creator has prescribed the only way He wants to be worshiped, and we as His creation have no authority to change anything. "'For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are my ways your ways,' says Yahweh."
Passover is the memorial commemorating the death of the Savior for the sins of mankind. Through His death, which paid the ultimate penalty for us, we can have everlasting life. That is the message Yahweh wants us to hold on to. And we do so every year when we partake of the Passover memorial emblems.
Easter has nothing in common with the Passover. We find no command anywhere in the entire Bible to observe the resurrection of the Savior. We are enjoined to remember the day of His death, however, with Passover. At its core Easter is nothing more than the perpetuation of the practice of pagan rites and rituals. And Yahweh warns not to learn such ways.
In 1Corinthians 10:14-22 is the apostle's warning against profaning the Passover and its significance by other practices and other symbols not given in the Word:
"Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of the Messiah? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of the Messiah? For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to Yahweh: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.Ye cannot drink the cup of Yahweh, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of Yahweh's table, and of the table of devils. Do we provoke the Sovereign to jealousy? are we stronger than he?"
Now that you know the truth, you have a decision to make. Continue on in ways of ultimate destruction or return to the faith once delivered to the saints, Jude 3. That faith includes the true days commanded in the Word – His Feasts and Sabbath. You are being called to make a choice, which is truly a life or death decision. Choose life.

My Name is Jamie. I started with Beach Babies in the fall of 2011. I am the proud parent of a five year old little girl named Payton. I grew up in Middletown and still live there. After working in Healthcare for five years coming to work at Beach Babies was a big change for me, however I absolutely love it here and I am so glad that I did! I really enjoy interacting with the wonderful families that are a part of our program. I cherish the relationships that I have built with the many children that I have met during my time here in the front office. My hobbies include reading, shopping, cooking and gardening.
My name is Lakeyia Allen and my hobbies include reading paranormal fiction and taking long drives.
I have been in the field of early childhood education for eighteen years. During that time, I have held the positions of an assistant teacher, lead teacher, and assistant director. I have had the opportunity to work and be a role model to numerous children. I have also had the privilege of sharing my knowledge with college students and professionals in the field of education. I am always trying to find ways to improve my skills as an early childhood educator and to provide knowledge on the different needs of children.
I graduated from Delaware Technical and Community College with an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education 0 to K and Early Childhood Development. I further obtained a Bachelor Degree in General Studies from Wilmington University. In addition, I completed courses to acquire my Director's Credential for Delaware as well as my National Director Credential to broaden my knowledge in Early Childhood Administration. | {

Here is a sneak peak of the upcoming Retro TV Review episodes as we get closer to the end of Star Trek the Next Generation. Only a couple more seasons to go!
I've been really enjoying reading along with these posts. It brings back so many good memories 😊 (And honestly very tempted to rewatch the series myself again 😊).
I have really enjoyed writing them! It has been so much fun revisiting this series. | {

Street Artist Jody Thomas Reworks Iconic 'Jaws' Poster In Swipe At Plastic Pollution
08/23/2019 07:56 am ET Updated Aug 23, 2019
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water ...
By Lee Moran
British street artist Jody Thomas shines a light on the global issue of plastic pollution with his new mural, a reworked version of the iconic poster for the blockbuster movie "Jaws."
Thomas swapped the swimmer from the original 1975 movie's promo with a plastic bottle in the artwork he painted in his home city of Bristol, southwest England, this week. The shark in his version is surrounded by pieces of plastic trash.

It's the second environmentally themed piece that Thomas, a contemporary of Banksy at Bristol's Barton Hill Aerosol Art Project in the 1980s, has produced this year.
In May, he painted a 50-foot-high mural of Swedish teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg. She now uses the image as her profile picture on Instagram.
A post shared by J O D Y (@jody_artist) on May 31, 2019 at 1:31am PDT
"I don't think I'll ever recreate the media storm that surrounded my Greta piece," Thomas told HuffPost on Friday. "It's like my difficult second album, but on a smaller scale."
Thomas said he opted for the "Cause" strapline on his new work because it rhymes with "Jaws" and is "kind of a rallying cry as well."
"I did joke about having Greta as the swimmer, but felt it would be too comedic, too silly," he added.
Thomas collaborated on the piece with officials at the city's science center, We The Curious, which in June became the first such hub in the world to declare a climate emergency.
Greta, 16, is currently traveling to the United States aboard a 60-foot solar-powered, zero-emissions yacht. She plans to participate in the United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York next month.

This article has been updated to include Thomas' comments.

McDonald's to start selling Big Macs with four patties
As Champions League qualifiers, Little Mix fans and convivial golfers will agree, all the best things come in fours. Three might be magical, but there's something about the satisfying symmetry of a quartet that makes everything more enjoyable. Obviously, this includes food.
As if we needed any more proof that quadrilogies are fantastic, the biggest name in fast-food has decided to make everyone's March infinitely more exciting with a foursome of their own. In a dramatic announcement, McDonald's has today revealed a tweak to their traditional Big Mac formula. For a limited time, the iconic sandwich will be available with not two, but four beef patties. This Spring is going to be stacked.
In an official announcement on the McDonald's website, the brand revealed the introduction of both the giant "Double Mac" and miniature "Little Mac", both available for a limited time only. Though the diddy Little Mac has its charms, there was obviously one, or four, reasons to really get excited.

The company wrote:
"Let's be honest. When a burger craving strikes, nothing quite hits the spot like the taste of McDonald's iconic Big Mac.
"We know sometimes that craving is small, and sometimes it's truly huge, while other times our classic Big Mac is just right. That's why, starting tomorrow, we're satisfying Big Mac appetites of all sizes by introducing the Little Mac and Double Big Mac for a limited time."
Check out our Giant Big Mac Ring recipe:
In a statement accompanying the update, Linda VanGosen, Vice President of Menu Innovation, revealed:
"The Big Mac is more than a burger — over the past 50 years it has become an international icon and a consistent favorite for our fans. From the perfect ratio of our infamous Special Sauce, to the crunch of our crisp lettuce and the juiciness of our 100% pure beef patties, customers know and love the unmistakable flavor of the Big Mac. We're excited to give them new ways to enjoy the burger they love and satisfy fan cravings of all sizes with three delicious Big Mac options."
The sandwiches will be available from the 11th of March at participating restaurants for a limited time only. We'll see you in the queue. | {

Someone has made a very odd techno-pop remix of The Marriage of Figaro
8 November 2019, 17:10 | Updated: 8 November 2019, 17:11
A techno mash-up of Mozart's opera The Marriage of Figaro. Picture: Ayda Classics
By Sofia Rizzi
Mozart's opera The Marriage of Figaro gets a retro make-over in this cover of 'Non so più'.
Classical music can be heart-breaking, awe-inspiring – and will sometimes leave you completely lost for words.
We think the latter is an appropriate description for this new-age take on Mozart's opera The Marriage of Figaro.
So, what's happening here?
Well, it's a fresh – and frankly, slightly perplexing – take on 'Non so più', an aria sung by the character Cherubino in Mozart's opera The Marriage of Figaro.
One vocalist has replicated herself singing to create vocal layering in a techno-pop remix of the aria. She has added in an 80s-inspired backing band of drums, bass guitar, electric guitar and even a retro keytar (a keyboard guitar) to create a synthetic disco sound.
The vocals are layered to create a harmony on the main melodic line, and there's even a counter-melody whose vocals are (dare we say?) reminiscent of Ennio Morricone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly theme.
Don't believe us? Have a listen to this from 3:30 and you'll see our point.

Halina Niezbrzycka z Dybczyńskich ps. "Kalina" (ur. 10 listopada 1901 w Niemirowie, zm. po 1939) – działaczka niepodległościowa, wywiadowczyni Komendy Naczelnej III Polskiej Organizacji Wojskowej, dama Orderu Virtuti Militari.
Życiorys
Urodziła się 10 listopada 1901 w Niemirowie, w ówczesnym powiecie bracławskim guberni podolskiej, w rodzinie Stanisława Dybczyńskiego i Marii z domu Satutin. Ukończyła szkołę średnią.
W kwietniu 1918 w Kijowie wstąpiła do Polskiej Organizacji Wojskowej. W marcu 1920, po aresztowaniu komendanta Komendy Naczelnej III, J. Bolewskiego i jego współpracowników, była jedną z najaktywniejszych peowiaczek i najlepszych agentek. Pełniła funkcję wywiadowczyni i kurierki. Od stycznia do maja 1920, kiedy CzeKa prowadziła wzmożone represje i aresztowania wśród POW, przechowywała w swoim mieszkaniu archiwum POW oraz broń. Kiedy Kijów został zajęty przez wojska polskie i sprzymierzone ukraińskie, została odwołana do Warszawy. Od maja do sierpnia 1920 pracowała w przeniesionej tam Komendzie Naczelnej III POW. W dniu 11 sierpnia 1920 wysłano ją do Piotrogrodu, by objęła funkcję komendantki nowej placówki Komendy Naczelnej III. Działała pod pseudonimem "Kalina". W dniu 25 sierpnia dotarła do Rewla w Estonii. Jednak na początku września 1920 na dworcu kolejowym w Pskowie została, wraz z dwoma innymi osobami, aresztowana przez CzeKa. Przez dłuższy czas była śledzona przez bolszewików. Zdążyła zniszczyć dokumenty, które miała ze sobą. Bolszewicy poddawali ją torturom przez kilka miesięcy. Kilkakrotnie skazywali na karę śmierci, ale nie przyznała się do stawianych jej zarzutów. W więzieniu spędziła prawie 2 lata. 25 stycznia 1922 wróciła do Polski. Wymieniono ją na wyższych oficerów rosyjskich znajdujących się w polskiej niewoli.
Zamieszkała w Warszawie. W 1923 wyszła za mąż za Jerzego Niezbrzydzkiego, z którym miała córkę Teresę Iwonę (ur. 1927). Zilustrowała opracowaną przez męża książkę Polesie. Opis wojskowo-geograficzny i studium terenu wydaną w Warszawie w 1930. Małżonkowie mieszkali w Warszawie przy ul. Śmiałej 66. Od 1934 pozostawali w separacji.
Działała w FIDAC i w Zrzeszeniu KN III POW.
Po wybuchu II wojny światowej wyjechała z córką Teresą do Wilna. Jej dalsze losy nie są znane.

IATP Looks Beyond the USDA
02/06/10 | by slowfoodsf | Policy
Carlo Petrini writes in his book Slow Food Nation of a "network of gastronomes and the figure of the co-producer" as the social infrastructure necessary to counteract a food system that requires each commodity chain to span hundreds of miles. But Petrini continues, "the problems posed by this long chain of intermediaries go beyond that of the distance (physical or cultural) between two ends of the chain. Rather, the graver concern lies in matters of economics, ecology, and social justice." (Petrini, 227)
That is what brought me to Slow Food. It struck me as a movement that was willing and excited to struggle with an incredibly embedded situation. It seems simple; good, clean, fair but it is a life's work. It is a struggle that shares the dreams of figures as diverse as Temple Grandin, Martin Luther King Jr., César Chávez, Jane Jacobs, you, and me. And as such, we must begin to imagine a strategy of change that compliments this wide range of interests, a strategy of change that uses the strength of these tangled webs as reinforcing cause and effects. To that end, the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy has published its report "Beyond the USDA, How other government agencies can support a healthier, more sustainable food system" by Maggie Gosselin. The guide is meant to acquaint the reader with the variety of organizations that regulate and impact our food so that we can begin to imagine a multifaceted approach to changing our food and more practically, so that we as activists can utilize all of the grants and resources these different agencies offer. For example, the Department of Health and Human Services, which broadly oversees food labeling and food safety awards Community Service Block Grants to state Community Action Agencies that then re-grant the money or act directly on programs that help address housing, nutrition, employment, and education needs in low-income communities. The next agency, the Environmental Protection Agency, could contribute to a better food system through its ability to "establish better oversight of water and air pollution" or through "following the Supreme Court ruling that requires the EPA to regulate to mitigate damage caused by greenhouse gases." The author recommends a joint USDA-EPA task force to address greenhouse gas emissions on farms. The EPA offers several grants, including the Environmental Justice Small Grants to organizations implementing solutions to environmental and public health problems. The paper goes on to discuss the Department of the Interior (responsible for 10 percent of the land in the United States and oversees livestock grazing on that land and fisheries), the Department of Commerce (who, as part of their jobs, grants patents to agricultural products), the Department of Transportation (in charge of food transport and thus with the capability of researching and improving food access), the Department of Housing and Urban Development (whose commitment to 'livable communities' must be pressured to succeed and who award grants to higher education institutions to develop partnerships with depressed communities), and more. Some of those names are likely familiar but some might surprise you.
When you imagine a food system that is good, clean, and fair, what exactly do you imagine? It will not just mean a change in land use, it will mean a change in the Farm Credit Administration and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. This might seem intimidating. I admit that I am intimidated by futures speculation, I cannot claim to understand how it works or how it should be changed. But I read this report as inspiring. This is why Slow Food will succeed, because it is a movement that has a role for every individual, every agency. Your skills are valued. And once we've recognized this and addressed what exactly our skills are, we can meet the government half way and use some of these grants to work in city planning, trade policy, land use, education and outreach, and environmental research.

Nowadays, detection and analysis of moving objects and patterns are getting more and more important role in the processing of visual images and video sequences. The processing of visual information is represented now in our everyday life and there is an extensive research activity in several fields like in medical sciences, astronomy, industrial image processing, security engineering and in traffic safety.
Object detection and pattern recognition on images recorded with digital cameras mounted on moving vehicles is a challenging task, which requires selection of efficient and robust detection and tracking algorithms besides the powerful and fast electronic tools and computers implemented for the actual conditions.
With help of various motion-estimation algorithms based on the image extracted information data several image features can be recognized, the interesting objects can be tracked and under given conditions even their future positions are predictable in advance.
Object detection itself a moving platform is a challenging task, even if the kinetic data are known from other sources. Estimates based on the changing pictures makes the task interesting. The goal is to find such patterns and motion features, where sufficient information can be obtained for the applicable evaluation.
In my thesis I briefly summarize the image processing methods applicable for pattern detection, recognition and moving object tracking. For reconstruction of 3D environment on the basis of 2D image frames calibration of digital camera has been done. Using the intrinsic calibration parameters of this camera I carried out a continuous estimation for the varying distance between the moving camera and the tracked moving car.
Another main task of my thesis was detection and tracking of moving pedestrians on video-sequences shot from a moving vehicle platform with help of image foreground-background separation processing methods. | {

James Luceno talks Plagueis with Facebook fans
Despite a bumpy start, the Darth Plagueis chat on Facebook with James Luceno today seemed to go quite well. Apologies for doing a straight-up transcript of this, but there were some really good questions… This is the first time I haven't come out of one of these chats despairing for the typing skills of fandom at large, though I did fix some punctuation and trim a little fat from some of the questions.
The transcript is divided by non-spoiler and spoiler questions. Head below the cut to read, but you want to stay unspoiled, turn back when you see the red text.
Josh Allen: When you were writing the novel and you were writing the novels story right into the time of the events of Episode 1…what was going through your mind as you were writing it?
James Luceno: Josh, while writing I may as well have been living inside the film.
Jordan Dickerson: Any book signings in the near future, James?
Luceno: Jordan, No signings scheduled, but there's a good chance I'll be at Celeb.
Evan John Bouchard: Mr. Luceno, I was curious as to the amount of previous research you put into writing this book, I noticed you included a reference to just about every little tidbit concerning Palpatine every published, I was very impressed.
Luceno: Evan, normally I wouldn't have had as much time to devote to research. The novel's cancellation turned out to be a good thing.
Jake Reilly: What Star Wars book was the most fun to write? Was it a difficult task writing books set between the movies? (Like Dark Lord?)
Luceno: Jake, I think I had the most fun with Cloak of Deception. I liked dealing with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, and I enjoyed portraying Palpatine and Sidious as two separate characters.
Chris Banaszek: I know [George Lucas] doesn't have much – if anything – to do with the EU works….but he does get involved with some of the major stuff, like his approval for Chewie's death etc. Curious how high up the chain you had to go in regards to the in universe timing of the end of the Plagueis?
Luceno: Chris, as I've said in other forums, GL was the one who said that Plagueis should be a Muun, and that Plagueis should have an "accident" that forces him to wear a mask. GL also weighed in on other matters, though mostly through Howard Roffman — then president of LucasArts — with whom I worked most closely.
Clint Lormand: How did you get your start writing for Star Wars? Did you meet George Lucas personally?
Luceno: Clint, I was brought into the SW franchise as a kind of consultant when the New Jedi Order was in the planning stages. What I thought would be a year's work has since turned into a career … As for GL, I've had very few face-to-face dealings with him.
William Barr: If the time was right in your schedule, would you write a novel about the beginnings of the sith if you were asked to do it?
Luceno: William, I feel that Drew and others have a better handle on the early Sith. I'm also looking foward to seeing what Dark Horse does with the early Jedi.
Keith Voss: On a seperate note, I see Ryder Windham is on this thread and just wanted to mention how much I enjoyed the "Wrath of Darth Maul".
Luceno: Keith, the Wrath of Maul is a terrific read. I enjoyed getting to know Ryder and working with him.
Mateusz Skalski: Which period of Star Wars history would you like to explore in your future books? Are you interested in writing the story about Darth Krayt and his One Sith Order?
Luceno: Mateusz, the ancient Sith are in good hands.
Roqoo Depot: When you wrote Darth Plagueis, did you write it in order, or did you sometimes skip ahead and come back? Also, was the prologue the first thing you wrote?
Luceno: Roqoo, I spent months thinking about the story before I wrote a word. That's just my approach. Once I had the story firmly in mind — even bits of dialogue — I wrote a very detailed outline, and worked from that while writing, from start to finish. Along the way, though, I made discoveries that compelled me to go backward and forward, altering things as need be.
Ronnie Chin: In the Phantom Menace Yoda said to Mace Windu: "Always two, there are. No more, no less. A master… and an apprentice." How does Yoda know about the Rule of Two?
Luceno: Ronnie, if I'm not mistaken, Drew — in one of the Bane novels — offers an explanation of sorts for how it is that the Jedi Order know about the Rule of Two.
Spoilers for Darth Plagueis
Sidney Lau: Mr. Luceno, I was wondering about Yoda's line in ROTJ on not dying–"Strong am I with the force, but not that strong." Was Plagueis' ability to restore life in the novel based on his strength in the force, or his willingness to explore the "unnatural" (or a bit of both)?
Luceno: Sidney, I believe that Plagueis's strength was based on his willingness to go as far as he needed to …
Jessiah Eberlin: I read in your interview with TFN that George was adamant about Plagueis's death ending in a specific way. But I'm curious, do you feel that had it come to a contest of lightsabers or Force powers that Sidious would have prevailed anyway?
Luceno: Jessiah, if it had come to a duel, I think Plagueis may have found a way to undermine his apprentice.
The original question is lost with the first comment thread, but when asked about young Palpatine:
Luceno: Steven, writing about young Palpatine was a challenge. I probably gave those scenes more thought than I did any others in the novel.
EUCantina.net: What sparked the idea to begin the book with the scene of the death of Plagueis? Were you trying to connect fans at once to the only part of his story that we've heard?
Luceno: EUCantina, I felt that I had to deal with that proverbial elephant in the room. The surprise, if we can call it that, had to be the when rather than the how.
Justin Alicea: Who hired Subtext Mining to sabotage Tenebrous' mining droid?
Luceno: Justin, as Plagueis thinks to himself: Rugess Nome had many enemies. I'd take a hard look at Santhe …
David Schmitt: Doesn't it demean Sidious to have him as an apprentice at 50? If he was really manuvering Plagueis the whole time then why not just kill him anyway?
Luceno: David, the thing is that Palpatine probably never thought of himself as an apprentice, and Plagueis never really treated him as an underling. Palpatine was merely biding his time, waiting for Plagueis to reveal the full depth of his knowledge of the dark side.
Darin Smith: Can you let us know if OneDeeFour was actually wiped and had his name changed to a droid we might know in the star wars universe or was that comment just off the wall and had no real bearing. I caught the comment and thought it might be something of a spoiler.
Luceno: Darin, there's a scene at the end of Labyrinth of Evil where a couple of droids get the drop on the good guys who are closing in on Sidious's secret lair. I like to think the 11-4D might have been in that room, and he was surely present when Anakin was fitted with the suit
Nico DiPerna: Dear Mr. Luceno, when you wrote the book, how much of the story was told to you? For example, for a while, a lot of people thought Anakin was created by Darth Plagueis, but in the book, it was said that it was the Force that created him in response to the shift towards the dark side that the galaxy took, which Sidious and Plagueis caused. Did you choose to make it like that?
Luceno: Nico, very little of the story was told to me. I was given certain parameters, but I was largely on my own. However, some things I proposed were shot down or reconfigured to satisfy the demands of others.
Peter Morrison: What are your feelings on Midi-chlorians after spending so much time writing and thinking about the for this book?
Luceno: Peter, I'm still not a big fan of midi-chlorians, but I have to say that I enjoyed the challenge of trying to make sense of them — if sense is the right word.
Order of the Sith: Is it safe to say that Sidious did not follow the Rule of Two?
Luceno: Order of the Sith: Sidious doesn't follow rules of any sort.
Felix Victor Miranda: How did Palpatine eventually end up learning essence transfer post-endor if Darth Gravid sabotaged all the holocrons? Did he teach himself?
Luceno: Felix, Gravid's attempts to destroy everything were cut short by his/her apprentice.
Yoshi House: Can you talk about the rend in the force?
Luceno: Yoshi, that "rend" is something that should be explored. I can't say more than that just now.
Damon Blalack: The biggest speculation I've followed in thought the past seven years has been concerning Anakin's Immaculate Conception. Until I read Darth Plagueis recently, I'd always assumed Palpatine stole the secret of life from his master, and then used it to create a "son" based out of pure Force-energy, so he could groom him to be his ultimate apprentice. Obviously the way it actually played out was different, in that Anakin became an accidental byproduct of Plagueis and Sidious' Dark Side energy-raising, with Palpatine not learning of his creation until the events of The Phantom Menace.
But since he's responsible as a metaphorical co-parent to Anakin, would you say that made the ending battle of Return of the Jedi an ultimate showdown for the fate of the galaxy between three generations: A grandfather, father, and son? I know Lucas originally wanted to do three distinct trilogies of films, each representative of a different generation of Skywalker, but mentioned to the press for Revenge of the Sith that during the writing of the opera scene he found a way to provide linkage that made the need for a third trilogy unnecessary. Can you speak as to how clear it really should be that Anakin is perhaps a sort of illegitimate son to Palpatine? Thank you!!
Luceno: Damon, I think you've worded it perfectly: an illegitimate son. There is indeed a generational aspect to the entire saga.
Eric Harzer: Was Darth Gravid your own idea or was it one of the things you were told to include in the novel? Either way, it's a very interesting concept.
Luceno: Eric, Gravid was an invention of mine. I needed some way to distance Plagueis from the ancient teachings and powers. The more I thought about Gravid, the more interesting his/her story became. In my mind, at any rate.
Damon Blalack: Did you ever get any indication as to whether Palpatine was responsible for staging the Tusken attack on Shmi Skywalker in order to cause Anakin to begin faltering, and thus being more susceptible to Palpatine's influence? I realise you can't say for sure about anything definite, but can you at least speak as to whether there is a definite answer to this that came up at any time during the course of your involvement with Howard Roffman while researching Palpatine? Thanks!
Luceno: Damon, my son and I were just talking about the Tuskens … I can't offer anything definitive, but I believe that Sidious's fingerprints are all over Shmi's abduction.
Matthew Martin: Early drafts of the script for RotS actually had Dooku taking credit for Shmi's abduction (well, Palpatine blamed Dooku, and Dooku admitted it), so it's far from implausible that a Sith Lord was involved.
Luceno: Matthew, Sidious is fond of boasting, and is often full of bluster. He assures the Neimoidians that everything is going according to plan. He lies to Anakin. He boasts to Luke … I was referencing the Mortis trilogy at several points. More is likely to emerge regarding those characters …
Andrew Jaden: How did you create Plagueis's character? I've seen quite a few Sith, and none of them focused solely on cunning and plans upon plans like Plagueis did.
Luceno: Andrew, Plagueis is a kind of composite: part Godfather, part magician, part mad scientist, part vampire, if you will. Still, he was years in the making.
Nico DiPerna: So it was your idea to make Anakin not a direct product of Plagueis?
Luceno: Nico, a while back there was talk among scientists about the ability of certain subatomic particles to interfer with attempts to fully understand the complexity of atomic structure. Almost as if the particles had a kind of will of their own … A theory since disregarded, of course.
Veronique Mittmann: In the end, Sidious tells Plagueis that all the plans set in motion (Yinchorr, Dorvalla, Eriadu…) were actually Sidious' ideas… I can't notice it anywhere in the novel, I may have missed something, are there any hints I didn't see?
Luceno: Veronique, Sidious takes credit for everything, but can we believe him? I deliberately avoided going too deeply into Palpatine's thoughts during the middle of the novel, but there are hints here and there regarding his motives and his manipulations.

Bardan Jussik says:
So I hate to be picky but one guy asks Luceno if he would be interesting in writing the story of Darth Krayt and the One Sith. His response is that the ancient Sith are in good hands.
Unless I'm missing something thats somewhat of a fail. With them being a current and extant branch of the Sith. Arguably the true Sith.
Dunc says:
That was my bad – I had put in the wrong question from Mateusz. He did ask about Krayt and the One Sith. It's fixed now – thanks for spotting the error.
Erich says:
Thanks for the recap Dunc! Glad you're starting to come around on our chats. Hopefully the next one will be even better.
Still not thrilled with Facebook – if only they had threaded comments! That's nothing new, though. ;)

The Municipal Office d'Habitation de l'Outaouais' (formerly Gatineau) call for tender to build 30 units in Old Deschênes is scheduled to close on December 11. The long-awaited community housing project is planned on Deschênes Street between Arthur-Whelan and Saint-Médard Streets.
predicted the units would be ready for 2018. Construction should now begin in spring, 2019.
OMH plans to erect six buildings that will contain 18 two-bedroom units, six three-bedrooms units, four four-bedroom units, and two five-bedroom units -- a total of 30 units, 15 of which will be affordable housing units and the other 15 subsidized for low-income residents. The project should house about 90 residents.
The project, designed by the architect firm Mercier Pfalzgraf, will have 33 parking spaces, plus an ecological corridor on the east side of the units. | {

Anything but idle during the current pause on winter sports, a Minnesota State High School League task force has finalized scenarios for the return of both the season and state tournaments.
On Thursday, the league's board of directors is expected to vote on a recommendation to approve starting the winter sports season Dec. 21, three days after Gov. Tim Walz's four-week pause is scheduled to end.
While some school districts already have decided to postpone winter sports until after Jan. 1, the league is seeking to be ready Dec. 21, keeping it in concert with youth sports.
The board is also set to discuss models for state tournaments, the traditional season-ending events that were canceled this fall.
Both recommendations come from the league's Return to Participation Task Force. The group is a mix of 15 activities directors and region representatives from around the state. They began meeting weekly in the fall to navigate the fast and fluid changes to sports schedules triggered by the coronavirus pandemic.
The task force met Monday to choose from four models for having winter and spring sports. Members broke into four small groups, three of which recommended the model to start winter sports Dec. 21 and conclude state tournaments by the first full week of April.
Dean Haugo, a task force member and Moorhead activities director, previously said he regretted the loss of fall state tournaments.
"We should have had them as an option instead of canceling them early," Haugo said at the Nov. 12 meeting, where discussions intensified. "It's easier to cancel them later than realizing we should try to put them back on."
The recommended model means all winter sports would lose one week from their traditionally scheduled amount, with both genders of basketball and hockey losing two weeks (from 18 to 16). In October, the board approved a 30% reduction in winter sports games and meets.
"In talking with coaches, they want games more than weeks," said Russ Reetz, task force member and Prior Lake activities director.
The task force's work simultaneously involves winter and spring sports, given the potential overlap of student participants. Indoor facility use is also a concern, especially in late March and early April when weather is unpredictable. The coronavirus wiped out spring sports last year, so maintaining a full-length spring season in 2021 is a priority.
This recommended model has most spring sports starting the last week of March, with normal season lengths, and state tournaments ending by June 19.
In terms of the postseason, small group feedback supported shrinking the section playoffs from two weeks to one. This allows some sports an additional week in the regular season for flexibility in case of COVID-19 delays. Other sports, meanwhile, have one less week of overlap with the spring season.
The task force's recommended winter and spring schedule information is based on draft documents that are subject to league review and adjustments.
Another working document of keen interest to winter sports athletes, coaches and fans is the league's "State Tournament Road Map," designed to identify options and models for hosting winter state tournaments.
The document was developed by Craig Perry, a former league associate director being paid as an independent contractor.
"We recognize how valuable and important having a state tournament is," Perry said during the Nov. 12 introduction of the road map document.
Perry's work attempts to balance the desire to capture the traditional state tournament experience with current restrictions on attendance. Concerns include health and safety guidelines, venue availability and costs, and revenue streams. The league dropped state tournaments from its 2020-21 budget, shrinking it to $5 million.
In October, the league nearly approved a "super regional" model for state tournaments, allowing for culminating events while mitigating travel. Likewise, the league's ''road map'' allows for tournament format options.
Jill Johnson, Return to Participation Task Force chair and Waconia activities director, said during the Nov. 12 meeting, "It's exciting to think that there might be something at the end of the tunnel for winter."

Q: Is it that bad to use Homebrew on an outdated macOS? I had problems on macOS Monterey and had to downgrade back to Catalina due to performance issues (found out it was just my MBP 2016 needing some hardware cleaning, so I'm considering going back to Monterey). Now I can't install neovim or vim.
On Catalina I tried to brew install nvim and got stuck, as it asked me to install xCode (the Command Line Tools wouldn't be enough), which is a 10gb install. That's a bummer, so let's go back to my good old Vim. To get the updated version I went brew install vim but got stuck again when trying to install rust as a dependency: it took forever, made the mbp fans spin like crazy and nothing. I even installed rust and then brew install vim --ignore-dependencies rust and got several errors.
I finally got Neovim installed by following the instructions on its website, but I really wanted to keep using Homebrew.
Is that what they are trying to warn here?
Warning: You are using macOS 10.15.
We (and Apple) do not provide support for this old version.
It is expected behaviour that some formulae will fail to build in this old version.
It is expected behaviour that Homebrew will be buggy and slow.
Do not create any issues about this on Homebrew's GitHub repositories.
Do not create any issues even if you think this message is unrelated.
Any opened issues will be immediately closed without response.
Do not ask for help from MacHomebrew on Twitter.
You may ask for help in Homebrew's discussions but are unlikely to receive a response.
Try to figure out the problem yourself and submit a fix as a pull request.
We will review it but may or may not accept it.
The only reason I'm afraid of updating to Monterey is due to performance issues with OBS, which I use to manage my online piano lessons. My MBP should be able to handle it, right? Will I be having the same issues if I update macOS?
enter image description here
Thanks in advance.
A: As per Homebrew installation instructions current version requires Big Sur or higher. El Capitan - Catalina are unsupported but may work; anything older doesn't work.

The Kenya Diaspora Alliance (KDA) announced the annual Diaspora Convention that took place in Nairobi from December 9-11, 2015. Kenyans who are domiciled in Europe, United States, Canada (the Americas), Australia, the Middle East, Africa and Asia, among others, congregated in Nairobi to deliberate on a wide range of important national and global issues.
The Convention engaged local political and economic actors on areas of mutual interest to foster development in Kenya and strengthen bilateral/multilateral relations and democratic growth. Kenyans abroad believe that they are key stakeholders in Kenya's socio-economic welfare, but there is increasing concern among them for the apparent poor engagements by policy makers on various matters of mutual interest.
The Kenyan Disaporans also believe that the Kenyan government (including devolved structures) and the corporate sector should open up clear and well defined engagement strategies to harness the various academic and professional skills possessed by the country's overseas professionals for the common good.
Kenyan Diasporians intend to launch massive investments in real estate, securities market, financial services, infrastructure, and technology.
Diaporans will tap and deepen the concept of collaboration and direct engagement for Development among the various actors, including but not limited to public sectors (multi-level), private corporate, and civil societies.
Diaspora can contribute is through knowledge, expertise, skill and talent. Diaspora cannot be leveraged to promote sport, culture, tourism and diplomacy, and vice versa.
KDA has identified good governance (or the lack of it) and insecurity are at the core of challenges holding Kenya to realize the great goals espoused in Vision 2030. In particular, the Convention will ventilate on impunity, runaway corruption, inequalities, ukabila and national cohesion.
KDA was a major stakeholder during its conception and development. During the Convention, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, where Diaspora Affairs are anchored, shall enlighten participants on how far its implementation has gone, planned activities, any challenges encountered, mitigations, and any upcoming or attendant opportunities. | {
