We all have seeds of jealousy and envy in us. The question is who among us will acknowledge it? A Puritan preacher named Thomas Manton said of the human penchant for envy and jealousy, “We are born with this Adamic sin. We drink it in with our mother’s milk.” It is that deeply a part of us. Such sinful seeds keep us from rejoicing in the blessings and accomplishments of others’ ministries or works. Their effect is to erect powerful walls between us and our brothers and sisters: “Wrath is cruel and anger a torrent, but who is able to stand before jealousy?” (Proverbs 27:4, NKJV). James adds to this, “If you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth” (James 3:14). In plain terms, this sin of jealousy and envy is a bitter poison. If we hold onto it, it will not only cost us spiritual authority but open us to demonic activity. King Saul provides the clearest example of this in all of scripture. In 1 Samuel, we find David returning from a battle in which he slaughtere

Sovereignty over Takeshima In 1618 (Note), Ohya Jinkichi and Murakawa Ichibei, merchants from Yonago, Hōki Province, in Tottori Domain, received permission for passage to Utsuryo Island (then called “Takeshima” in Japan) from the shogunate via the lord of Tottori. Following that, the two families took turns in traveling to Utsuryo Island once each year, and engaging in catching abalone, hunting sea lions and felling trees. Note: Some believe that this was in 1625. Both families engaged in fishing around Utsuryo Island using ships with the hollyhock crest of the ruling shogunate family on the sails, and usually presented the abalone they caught as gifts to the shogunate and others. Thus they monopolized the management of the island with the de facto approval of the shogunate. During this period, Takeshima, on the route from Oki to Utsuryo Island, came to be used as a navigational port, docking point for ships, and rich fishing ground for sea lions and abalone. As a consequence of the above facts, Japan had est

Korea District Heating Corporation (KDHC) was established in 1985 and supplies district heating to about 1.41 million households as of the end of 2016. Korea’s metropolitan area is densely populated, and over the past 30 years, more towns have been developed near metropolitan areas. Due to this development district heating systems in Korea have been rapidly spreading. Currently, all DH systems in Korea are 3G. Building insulation standards have been continuously strengthened over the past decade, and the government’s acts for the use of new and renewable energy have been also been reinforced. KDHC finds it necessary to develop a new district heating system linked to renewable energy in existing district heating systems. In connection to this, they are interested in learning more about the currently operating 4G DH systems in Europe. The delegation visited Denmark the 26th and 27th of April to study Danish 4G DH systems. During the visit, the delegation was introduced to Danish sustainable energy solutions at

By Daniel Hunter We need to “stop stealing from future generations” and “restore faith in capitalism”, the Unilever chief executive Paul Polman told business leaders at the CBI Annual Conference on Monday. Mr Polman’s speech followed an introduction by Martin Cook, the Ernst & Young UK & Ireland commercial managing partner, in which Mr Cook said that “people want to hold businesses to account if they don’t think they’re behaving in the right kind of way”. He argued that for Ernst & Young, “doing good is doing good business” and set Mr Polman the question, “what makes a good, responsible business”? Mr Polman recognised that “the most important thing is to get the growth back. That has to be the number one priority — economic prosperity for all”. But he argued that “we actually have to ask ourselves a much more profound question, and that is what kind of growth do we really want for the future? Do we want to return to the … self-interested, short term growth model that is actually at the roots of the 2008 finan

The troubles in Ulster during the past five years have produced a crop of books about Ireland and her struggle to obtain independence from England. Many of these books have owed much to those historians, some of the most talented of them working in Dublin, who have been demythologizing the past. The great revolt against British rule which ended in Irish independence was both heroic and successful. But it was also tragic in its incompetence and self-destructiveness, and resembled much more the operations of a small and indomitable guerrilla group than the spontaneous rising of a nation in arms throwing off the yoke of a tyrant. The Irish had a greater talent for political than for revolutionary action. But for the First World War they would have gained their independence that way—though at the cost of the partition of Ulster. The Easter Rising of 1916 in Dublin was a tale of disasters and errors of judgment. The majority of Irishmen—like humble people all over the world—wanted to be left alone and were curious

Decided January 9th, 1912. Fraud: proof; resulting trusts. Equity. A Court of Equity will at all times lend its aid to defeat a fraudulent transaction; but the fraud, like any other fact, must be established by proof. p. 85 Fraud is never to be presumed. p. 85 Where the proof does not measure up to the legal requirement, a deed, absolute on its face, will not be set aside by a Court of Equity on the ground that the deed was clothed with a resulting trust in favor of the grantor. p. 85 Decided January 9th, 1912.

The occasion and manner how Gargamelle was brought to bed, and delivered of her child, was thus: and, if you do not believe it, I wish your bum-gut fall out and make an escapade. Her bum-gut, indeed, or fundament escaped her in an afternoon, on the third day of February, with having eaten at dinner too many godebillios. Godebillios are the fat tripes of coiros. Coiros are beeves fattened at the cratch in ox-stalls, or in the fresh guimo meadows. Guimo meadows are those that for their fruitfulness may be mowed twice a year. Of those fat beeves they had killed three hundred sixty-seven thousand and fourteen, to be salted at Shrovetide, that in the entering of the spring they might have plenty of powdered beef, wherewith to season their mouths at

You spoke out for refugees’ right to learn, and the government has listened. In October, we handed our Let Refugees Learn petition in to the Government. It featured more than 10,000 signatures from people like you who believe that giving refugees access to English lessons is vital for them to be able to rebuild their lives here in Britain. Last week, we received a letter from Theresa May telling us that our voices have made a difference. The Prime Minister confirmed that in response to our evidence, the Government has made an additional £10 million of funding available for increasing English language lesson provision for refugees: It’s incredible to know that 18 months of hard campaigning have made a difference – and we couldn’t have done it without you! Our work isn’t over, but this response is a huge step towards ensuring all refugees are given the chance of a better life. Thank you for fighting with us.

The global political sphere has been spinning in all directions over the past decade, with many suggesting that the influence of globalisation has waned. Yet, this has given rise to a new digital phase of globalisation, enabling smaller businesses to disrupt the markets of larger enterprises. With 86% of small tech start-ups engaging in cross-border activity, even the smallest of firms can make a big impact. The wane of globalisation: What happened? For years, globalisation has allowed products, technology, information and employment opportunities to spread across borders – uniting and integrating nations through the free market, making our world a much smaller place. However, increasing numbers of Western countries are turning their backs on the benefits of international cooperation and instead, now appear more focused on their national economies. But when did this start to happen? The 2008 recession, Brexit, President Trump…the list goes on. Here are two big reasons why globalisation has been challenged: 1.

They are as follows: Our social media accounts are not monitored 24/7, so we have created this FAQ to cover your most common questions. It will be reviewed and updated on a regular basis. I got a text saying that I had a positive COVID-19 test. Is that legitimate? In brief, no. We will never send test results by text. We use text only if we cannot reach a case by phone and there is no voicemail on the phone number. The text from us will say “This is the Madison County Health Department trying to reach you in regards to an urgent health matter. Please call our office at 859-623-7312 as soon as possible.” Notice that it does not give any test result or even say what the health matter is. We do not send specific results by text. How many tests have been conducted in Madison County? We do not receive the total number of tests at the local level. We only receive positive test results. Ac

A sandblasted windshield is what happens when tiny particles of dust or sand hit your car’s windshield repeatedly. Even though the dust and tiny debris are not big enough to cause any serious damage to the windshield, they leave tiny holes over a period of time which become noticeable on your windshield. At first you may not notice them, but after a while, the chips will become more pronounced and eventually will leave you with a cracked windshield in your car. The main reason behind rapid sandblasting is tailgating. When you follow close behind other vehicles, small pieces of rocks, sand and dirt are kicked up by their tyres which get flung onto your windshield. The closer you are to the person ahead of you, the more damage the sand and dust will do to your windshield. So, in order to prevent sandblasting, you are advised to keep at least a two to three seconds’ distance between your car and the one in front of you. This way, fewer particles are likely to come in contact with the windshield of your car. Anot

With Britain officially having left the European Union at the end of January, and with trade negotiations currently underway, we should all be worried about the impact a deal with the United States could have on NHS drug prices. The US pharmaceutical industry has long resented the fact that the NHS pays far less for its drugs than providers of healthcare in the States. Insiders have indicated that Donald Trump may demand this changes as a condition of any deal, in a move that could make medicines up to seven times more expensive to the NHS. With this in mind, it is imperative that we continue to demand increased public involvement in pharmaceutical provision. During the 2019 election cycle, Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party provided a blueprint for what this might look like, we must make sure this is not forgotten. Although the NHS’s enormous drug spend offers plenty of lucrative opportunities to big pharma, the public health service isn’t as lucrative as the industry would like. The NHS benefits from cheaper drug

The Fed says it will build a real-time interbank payments system But it has given itself a leisurely five years to do it IN SEVERAL countries—Britain, say, or Sweden—bank transfers are more or less instant. The moment your wages leave your employer’s bank account, they arrive in your own, giving you the wherewithal to pay the bills and feed the family. But America is far behind. Transfers can take days to clear, landing many Americans—chiefly those who can least afford additional expense—with hefty overdraft fees or pushing them towards payday lenders charging high interest rates. In an age when millennials can split a drinks tab on their smartphones before leaving the bar, this almost beggars belief. The Federal Reserve wants to speed things up. On August 5th it said that it would build a faster-payments system, as central banks have in other countries. But not, alas, instantly. FedNow, its proposed service, will not start before 2023.

About the Office UNESCO Ramallah was established in 1997 initially as a Liaison office through an agreement signed by the late Yasser Arafat, representing the Palestinian National Authority. At its inception, it dealt with Education and Culture in Palestine. Over time, it incorporated communication and media related activities. As part of UNESCO’s new decentralization policy, UNESCO Ramallah is presently designated as a national office. UNESCO’s work in Palestine represents an exceptional effort in international cooperation to support the Palestinian people in the main areas of UNESCO’s competence, namely, Education (and higher education), Culture and Communication and Information. UNESCO Ramallah implements a biennial programme (in the West Bank & Gaza) that is integrated within the overall goals of the Organization through the provision of technical expertise and delivery of activities. This is carried out through close consultation and collaboration with Palestinian counterparts, including the National Com

Neighbors Win One in Struggle Against Bullying Oil Refinery Update:This month, Chevron quietly let pass its final opportunity to appeal a California Court of Appeal decision that rejected the Environmental Impact Report for its expansion project at the Richmond Refinery. Most of us know what it's like to have a bad neighbor—but imagine one so bad that you're forced to regularly hide indoors from it. Such a bully has long stalked the communities of Richmond, CA, but this week they got help—from the California State Court of Appeals. The court sided with residents against their nightmare neighbor, a Chevron Corporation oil refinery that's been pouring toxic pollution upon them for years, that would like to make things even worse by refining thicker, dirtier oil. The court stopped Chevron dead in its tracks because its expansion plan relied on an Environmental Impact Report so deficient that the court ruled it illegal. It's not likely the end of this fight, but for Earthjustice and the folks it's standing up for

In 2015 Ross Douthat coined the term "woke capitalism" when writing a piece for the New York Times. He defined it as how companies signal their support for progressive causes in order to maintain their influence in society. He really tapped into something. Since then, this mindset has only grown, as the largest corporations are now weighing in of almost every major (and not-so-major) public policy issue. The problem: they increasingly land on the "leftist" side of the issue. So what is the impact? Is this a coordinated effort? What is the antidote to this "corporate wokeness" infiltrating our largest American companies? On this episode, Andy Olivastro joins us to weigh in with a unique perspective. He led communications and reputation strategy for some of the largest corporations and best known brands, and witnessed first-hand this gradual shift toward "corporate wokeness." Tim Doescher: From The Heritage Foundation, I'm Tim Doescher and this is Heritage Explains. Doescher: A new law to protect elections in G

Medics operating to remove a “tumor” from a baby were astonished to discover it was actually the child’s twin inside his tummy. The 3-month-old baby was admitted to the hospital for treatment of a kidney mass after his parents noticed his stomach was swelling up. But when doctors operated, they found a 2-pound parasite twin — complete with eyes and skin — that was feeding off the baby. The condition, known as “fetus in fetu,” is caused by the incomplete separation of twins, when one fails to grow and instead becomes an internal part of the healthy twin. It is believed there are only 200 reported cases of the rare condition worldwide. Dr. S.P. Sharma, who cared for the baby, said: “The baby was wrongly diagnosed with a tumor.” “We were surprised and shocked to see a malformed fetus inside his stomach.” “We have successfully operated to remove the parasite twin out of his body.” “The baby is recovering well after the operation.” “He has been shifted to ICU. “We hope to discharge him sometime by the end of this

January 4, 1947 - China to USA Because of his position in the Kuomintang, Liu, wife and eldest daughter fled China, leaving Gaylon with family in China. They were on a plane but one of Liu’s students whom he had helped in the past warned him that the Communists knew. He helped Liu get passage on a ship (General M.C Meigs) which left Shanghai and landed in San Francisco 2 weeks later. They traveled cross country eventually settling on the Upper East side of NYC in Yorkville.

Washington Post columnist Jay Mathews today engaged his colleague, Valerie Strauss, on the merits of Congressional pressure and school reform. While today’s Class Struggle headline may lead the casual reader to wonder if Mathews has now come to advocate for the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship — he has not — the more cogent argument is a response to Strauss’ charge that Sen. Joseph Lieberman is “making a mockery of thoughtful school reform” by threatening to cut funds for D.C. schools if Congress fails to revive the Opportunity Scholarship. Strauss quotes a study saying the voucher program, as it is called, has not raised student achievement. But she ignores the fact that another program imposed on the District by Congress 15 years ago, public charter schools, has had marked benefits for D.C. students. Two separate studies by the Washington Post, and other studies by independent scholars, have shown that D.C. public school students with the same backgrounds have done better in charters than in regular public scho

The Toll of Poverty In spite of various economic strengths, Guatemalans are still struggling. Poverty, poor nutrition, sub- standard water and sanitation facilities, and low levels of formal education are facts of life for vast numbers of Guatemalans. According to UNICEF, 47% of children under 5 suffer from stunted growth, 19% of the population are illiterate, and the average income per capita is $8,310 (compared to $9,980 in Mexico and $47,580 in the United States). Wars and Disasters Guatemala suffered through 36 years of warfare between leftist guerrilla insurgents and the army and government security forces. This is said to be the longest civil war in the history of the western hemisphere. Largely as a result of this warfare, approximately one million Guatemalans live outside the country—mostly in the United States, Mexico, Canada and Belize. The war officially ended with a peace treaty signed in December 1996. The governments since 1986 have been democratically elected. Because of its location between two

Troup County schools’ cyberbullying policy to be revised Published 12:00 am Tuesday, July 14, 2015 LaGRANGE — Bullying could be a two strikes and you’re out offense in the Troup County School System. The Troup County Board of Education on Thursday is set to vote on three fast-tracked policy changes to be implemented for the upcoming school year. The changes are being made to bring the policies into compliance with the latest state legislative rules for local school boards, said John Taylor, school system attorney, during the board’s Monday caucus meeting. Among those policies being revised is the school system’s bullying policy, most notably incorporating how to address cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is when students use social media or other electronic communications to harass another student. The school system had previously made changes to its discipline policy to incorporate how administrators should handle cyberbullying, but the legislative updates require it makes the changes to its actually bullying poli

Dollar stores across the country may seem more appealing to some than traditional grocery stores, especially as price increases continue to add up. But the products that fill the shelves and aisles can vary greatly. "I think they look more and more like grocery stores, and I don't think that's on accident. Grocery is still what is driving traffic to stores," Kate McShane, a managing director for Goldman Sachs, told "Good Morning America." She continued, "I think the concern at the end of the day is that, you know, it does take away from local and small business -- they are very competitive on price." There are over 34,000 dollar stores across the U.S. and experts say they can contribute to the issue of food deserts -- an area that lacks fresh produce options because of a dearth of traditional grocery stores. "Dollar stores in general tend to have a disproportionate amount of highly processed packaged foods and not a lot of fresh produce, fresh meats," Amy Keating, a registered dietitian who tests food for Con

The Getty Conservation Institute announced today (22 January) that it had completed nearly a decade of work on the Tomb of King Tutankhamen with the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, leaving it in a condition in which it will be able to stand up to future visitors. Central to the conservation effort was a study of the 3,300-year-old Egyptian tomb’s famed wall paintings, which are marred by brown spots that conservators feared might be growing. But as previously reported, scientists blew up some photographs that were taken in the 1920s after the burial site was discovered by the British archaeologist Howard Carter and determined that the darkened areas had not budged. DNA tests and chemical analysis indicated that the spots were microbiological in origin but dead and no longer a threat, the institute adds. The spots have penetrated the paint layer and therefore could not be removed because that would have damaged the paintings, which depict Tutankhamen’s life and death. Most of the tomb’s treasures were remove

There are more than 91 million school children worldwide now defined as living with obesity — and the UK is in the top 20 countries for obesity levels. In the UK, the obesity rate for children doubles during elementary school years — and then increases again in high school. This is, in part, because teenagers in the UK consume poor-quality diets, low in nutrients and high in processed foods. Indeed, girls in England do not get essential nutrients required for reproductive and overall good health (vitamin A, folate, iron). And young people are also generally low in at least five micro-nutrients needed for development, immunity, mood, and energy levels. Teenagers in the UK also consume the highest amount of added sugars and sugary drinks compared to all other age groups. Teenagers also consume the highest amount of breakfast cereal products (that are also known to be filled with sugar) and confectionery sweets. And only 4% of UK teens meet daily fiber recommendations. This is concerning given that dietary fiber

In the Name of Allah, Praise be to Allah, One of the actions that the Salaf did was translate books, sermons and any benefit to one's native language. Abdullah ibn al-Harith ibn Nawfal said: Shaykh Abdul Razzaq al-Badr stated about this: “This narration contains a great benefit related to translating. Translating sermons, reminders, talks and books into various languages is from the methodology of the Salaf may Allah have mercy upon them. Translating is a known practice of the Salaf. Translating contains a great deal of good because the person who does not understand the Arabic language is not able to benefit from the sermons, admonitions, or books, without someone to translate into their native language. From the greatest achievements of the student of knowledge who speak languages other than Arabic is that Allah grant them success to return to his land and transmit this knowledge in the language of his people and bring this goodness to his people in their native language. How many people has Allah benefitte

Rupture of the pectoralis major muscle is a rare sports injury most commonly associated with the "bench press" in weight lifting. Injury may also happen due to direct trauma, most notably in rugby players. Our case aims to show how a pectoralis major rupture can be successfully repaired even after a long period of time, 5 years in the case of our patient, has passed between the trauma and the repair. In addition, this is the first described case in the literature of an inveterate rupture of the clavicular head of the pectoralis major. Our patient presented with the rarer clavicular head tear of the pectoralis major muscle. The trauma occurred during the eccentric phase of the "bench press" exercise. Orthopedic evaluations and MRI imaging were used to make the correct diagnosis. The patient underwent myorrhaphy where the upper clavicular head was reattached to the lower sternal head. A brace was prescribed for 5 weeks to keep the arm immobilized. Passive physical rehabilitation was done after the removal of th

New Warrawong High School lift boosts its many students with a disability By Agron Latifi. Published: 7 September 2017. The challenge to get to and from classes is now much easier for Borce Petreski and other Warrawong High School students with a disability. The installation of a $500,000 lift at the school means students such as Borce no longer have to rely so much on teachers aides to move around the school. Support unit head teacher Jeff Bailey said the much-needed lift also meant students would now be able to spend more time learning than actually commuting to class. Before the lift was installed the trip to classes cut about 10 minutes out of lesson time for students like 17-year-old Borce. ‘’The lift really was imperative for our school,’’ Mr Bailey said. ‘’We have the largest support unit on the South Coast. We have eight classes here for our 75 students with a disability. ‘’These kids need to access three different levels in the school to access our support classrooms which all have specific learning

By Jordan Hannan With the continuously rising pressures of honors and AP classes, standardized testing, and college applications, the academic life of a high school student can be quite isolating, filled with solitary study and individual results. The adolescent mindset is stuck in this self-serving culture, and high schools are looking for impactful ways to connect students and form a supportive community. Sporting events, school dances, class celebrations, and team dinners might feel like the right addition, but the perpetuation of this dilemma, despite this common conclusion, proves its fruitlessness. Our solution? An emphasized student outreach program. The difference between the effects of a class picnic and a team volunteering day might seem negligible at first glance: a group of students doing something unique to their normal activities while having fun as a community. However, serving others has lasting positive effects, while the memories of a luncheon are already fading. But how can high schools imp

LUXEMBOURG - Since 1974, World Environment Day has been celebrated around the globe on 5 June. The day engages governments, organizations and citizens in an effort to raise awareness on environmental issues. The Alliance has also answered this call to action. NATO is adapting to become more resilient in response to the security challenges posed by climate change. Global warming and related natural disasters are, among others, threat multipliers that affect NATO security, operations and missions. Against this backdrop, last year the Alliance leaders endorsed NATO's Climate Change and Security Agenda, as well as the corresponding Action Plan, in order to raise awareness, mitigate threats and adapt to climate change, while enhancing outreach towards other stakeholders. The NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) has been supporting the Alliance and Nations' journey towards environmental sustainability for more than a decade, envisioning NSPA's evolution towards an environmentally responsible Agency that custo

FireEye Research Labs identified a new Internet Explorer zero- day exploit used in targeted attacks Friday, causing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to advise people not to use the browser. According to a release yesterday on the Vulnerability Notes Database sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security, Microsoft Internet Explorer contains a use-after-free vulnerability, which can allow an unauthenticated attacker at a remote location to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. Internet Explorer versions 6 through 11 are affected. By convincing a user to view a specially crafted HTML document such as a web page or an HTML email message or attachment, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code. Homeland Security states they are currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem, other than to cease use. Although some media outlets are reporting that turning off Adobe Flash will keep users safe, Homeland Security advises this may not be the case. “Although no Adobe Flash vulnerabi

While the COVID-19 pandemic has brought a great deal of attention to the mighty efforts of first responders, the crisis also has increased demands placed on so-called last responders – funeral service workers. With fatalities topping up to 4,000 per day in the United States, working regular shifts of ten or more hours has become common for these professionals. Curious as to what’s involved in a career in funeral and death care services? Here’s an overview: Responsibilities of funeral and death care service workers Morticians, undertakers, funeral directors, and others in this line of work obviously deal with dead bodies. Tasks include arranging transport of the deceased and preparing remains for the funeral and burial. Duties, however, go well- beyond these actions. People in this occupation comfort families during an incredibly stressful time and attend to details to ensure the entire process goes smoothly. They might help write and post obituaries, go over ceremonial procedures and logistics, present choices

A group of Taunton residents filed suit Thursday, seeking to block federal action clearing the way for a tribal casino at an industrial park in the city. The lawsuit draws on centuries of history, arguing, "No tribal body has exercised tribal governmental authority over these lands for over three hundred years," and contending that the federal decision to grant tribal lands into trust was invalid because the tribe was not federally recognized as of 1934 — a legal argument stemming from the U.S. Supreme Court's 2009 Carcieri v. Salazar decision. Matthew Frankel, of Nixon Peabody's Providence, Rhode Island, office, filed the suit against the U.S. Department of the Interior, whose decision to take land in trust allowed the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe to clear a major hurdle in its bid to build a resort casino in Taunton. The federal government last September approved transfer of about 170 acres of land in Mashpee and about 151 acres of land in Taunton into federal trust. The Mashpee tribe already has an agreement wi

Michael Bullock: Market Values An exhibition of work by PhD candidate Michael Bullock. Taking as its site a second-hand market in the outer Western suburbs of Melbourne, but with origins in a Chor Bazaar market in Bangalore India, Michael Bullock’s doctoral project, Market Values, asks how art records an engagement with the world, through encounters with the materials and objects that can be found in a second hand-market. Market Values presents this engagement with the world in the materiality of objects explored, an investigation of the places in which they can be found, and their transformation through sculptural processes that highlights how these objects circulate in the world within various systems of exchange. In this process, a series of key questions arise: What are the chronologies and passages of objects? Can we use them to imagine different spaces and times that extend beyond their immediate location? How does the journey of objects originate, end or continue, and how does the market (and later, th

Colleges and Universities as Talent Magnets The remote work revolution presents a unique opportunity for higher education institutions to reinvent themselves and become talent magnets. In Knowledge Towns, David J. Staley and Dominic D. J. Endicott argue that the location of a college or university is a necessary piece of any region's effort to attract remote knowledge workers, and thus accelerate economic development and creative place-making. Just as every town expects a church, bank branch, post office, and coffee house, a decentralized network of institutions of higher education will flourish, acting as cornerstones for the post-pandemic rebuilding of our society and economy. In calling for a "college in any town," they are not simply proposing placing a traditional college within a town or city, envisioning instead a particular kind of higher education institution called a "knowledge enterprise." In addition to providing the services of a traditional college, a knowledge enterprise acts as a talent magnet

One of the most nutritious foods you can eat are eggs. They contain large amounts of healthy fats, protein and important vitamins. They are also low in calories, each having about 78 calories. The egg is high in nutrients, especially the yolks. A three egg meal contains about 234 calories and with a generous portion of vegetables you have a nutritious meal of about 300 calories. Of course, if you fry the eggs, you must add about 50 calories for each teaspoon of fat used. Eggs are filling mainly because of their high protein content. High protein foods are known to be more satisfying and filling than those low in protein thus reducing the appetite and contributing to a feeling of fullness. It has been shown that an egg meal even produces fullness and reduces food intake for later meals. This is compared to meals with less protein but the same number of calories. The Satiety Index is a scale that determines how well foods help you feel full and reduce later calorie intake. Eggs rank high in this scale. High pro

We truly wish there were nicer topics to divulge at the moment, but right now the world (surfing included) is all but consumed by Covid-19. Surf biz is going bust, beaches are being closed around the globe, and much more seriously, over a million people are infected. In Australia, the bans are relatively lax. Technically we’re in a lockdown, but you’re allowed to exercise, and for the majority of the country surfing is included in the figurative list of permissible exercises; the only place where surfing is actually banned is Sydney’s Eastern Beaches. While I believe there’s a strong case to stop surfing for your own health and those you encounter, a quick look around the country’s cams suggests the majority disagree. Besides, the countries official stance leaves surfing in a somewhat grey area. Under Australia’s currently guidelines, exercise is allowed to take place in groups of up to two people with a distance of 1.5 metres being maintained between other people. According to the ABC, NSW Health confirmed t

United Productions of America, better known as UPA, was an American animation studio active from the 1940s through the 1970s. Beginning with industrial and World War II training films, UPA eventually produced theatrical shorts for Columbia Pictures such as the Mr. Magoo series. In 1956, UPA produced a television series for CBS, The Boing-Boing Show, hosted by Gerald McBoing Boing. In the 1960s, UPA produced syndicated Mr. Magoo and Dick Tracy television series and other series and specials, including Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol. UPA also produced two animated features, 1001 Arabian Nights and Gay Purr-ee, and distributed Japanese films from Toho Studios in the 1970s and 1980s. |Formerly||Industrial Film and Poster Service (1941–1945)| |Defunct||January 1, 2000| |Fate||Renamed to Classic Media| |Robert "Bobe" Cannon| Henry G.

ROME (JTA) — The years-long battle that ended recently with the dismissal of the chief rabbi of Turin, Italy, highlights a 21st- century identity crisis afflicting the oldest Jewish community in the Diaspora. Rabbi Alberto Somekh, who like all recognized rabbis in Italy is Orthodox, had served as chief rabbi in Turin since 1992. But critics said he had antagonized a sizable segment of the city’s largely non-observant 900-member Jewish community with a confrontational personal style. His ouster last month marked the first-ever dismissal of a chief rabbi in an Italian Jewish community. It focused attention on the challenges facing Italian Jews, ranging from intermarriage, falling birth rates and budget woes to factionalism, political infighting, and sharp divisions over religious practice and Orthodoxy. In particular, some have become disaffected by what they say is a lack of pluralism and increased Orthodox rigidity in the official community, alienating many. “Italian Jewry was always nominally Orthodox but it

About 16% of the fully vaccinated (289M people) live in the US, which has a very high rate of vaccination, especially compared to neighboring countries in Latin America. The abundance of available vaccines in the US has attracted foreign travelers from South America and other parts of the world looking to get vaccinated, referred to as vaccine tourism. An estimated 70,000 people from Peru alone have traveled abroad in search of COVID-19 vaccination. Vaccine tourism in the US is becoming more prevalent with Houston, Dallas, Miami, and Las Vegas being the most visite

Now put the battery on charge, and charge at a low rate. Do not allow the temperature of any cell to rise above 110 deg.F. Continue the charge until the electrolyte clears up, and its specific gravity stops rising and the plates have a normal color over their entire surface. Fully charged positive plates have a chocolate brown color, and fully charged negative plates have a dark gray color. By holding an electric light directly over a cell, and looking down, the color of both negatives and positives may be determined. Do not take the battery off charge until you have obtained these results, although it may be necessary to continue the charge for two, three, four, or five days. In this preliminary charge it is not necessary to bring the gravity up to 1.280, because the electrolyte is not to be used again, and the plates will become charged completely, regardless of what the gravity is. The essential thing is to charge until the electrolyte becomes perfectly clear, the gravity stops rising, and the plates have

There are few most Common Insurance that people usually want for them. 1) Health Insurance This types help cover all your

A Brief History of Second Space 1: The Great Dark Matter Hunt One of the biggest questions posed to Terran astronomers in the 20th century was the problem of the visible universe's mass/energy density. Namely, there was too much of it. As big as the universe was, and as much stuff was crammed into it, astronomers said, the universe's apparent mass didn't add up next to the universe's actual physical formation – there simply wasn't enough mass to generate enough gravity to make the universe look like it did, much less explain why it continued to expand. Fritz Zwicky of Switzerland postulated the concept of “dark matter” in 1934, which basically boils down to “there's plenty of mass out there, it just doesn't show up on the electromagnetic spectrum for some reason, meaning we can't see any of it.” It took a while for this theory to gain momentum, but by the early 21st century, it was all but universally accepted, and half a dozen sites were scattered around Earth trying to find ways to locate this dark matter.

I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. (Psalms 9:1-2) “Ye shall not go empty” (Exodus 3:21b) It is God primarily who has been wronged in all his rights by sin. Yet, man too has been wronged. But the Lord God has, in infinite wisdom, fixed it, so that both he and his people shall be made the gainers by the injury done. As the children of Israel were enriched by their bondage in Egypt, as the fall of Israel has been overruled by our heavenly Father for the riches of the world and the glory of God, so the fall of Satan and the entrance of sin into the world by the fall of our father Adam has been, is being, and shall yet be made to redound to the everlasting riches of God’s elect and the glory of his great name. Yes, the God of glory works all things together for the good of his people and the everlasting glory of his own great name. Satan will gain nothing by the havoc he ha

Many of South Africa’s assets have outdated or missing records. Whether privately-owned or part of State infrastructure, missing records are unfortunately a common problem. Without accessible data, professional teams are hamstrung at the outset of projects, having to make assumptions on the layout, composition and condition of facilities. Surveying buildings is a time- consuming activity, often not budgeted for in the early stages of a project’s start-up. All too often the professional teams rely on educated guesswork and one or two site visits with photographs to formulate their initial project proposals. “When we execute engineering projects, we rely on comprehensive base data. Projects that involve existing structures and facilities require accurate records of existing conditions. Without proper data, our designs cannot be founded on fact,” stresses Zutari Digital Practice Lead Richard Matchett. Zutari has met the challenge head on by investing significant time and resources to investigate various technolog

Nā Keri Hulme I have a feeling that a lot of people now associate ‘layering’ with clothing: “We’re going skiing tomorrow, and then next day, we’ll be down on the flats. Can’t take a lot of gear but no worries, we’ll just layer.” Or: “Hell! If I put my clean t-shirt under yesterday’s one, it’s layered OK eh? Still fresh to the skin.” Chook fanciers will immediately think of “a good layer, a poor layer, a good laying species”. (Brown leghorns? Yes, and sturdy for most of our conditions. Araucanas? Lovely little bird, good layer and good eggs – but doesn’t thrive in the south.) And gardeners naturally turn their minds to the art of encouraging shoots or branches to take root and the resultant plant… Stratigraphic layers? Your friendly local geologist will discourse at length on that dictionary definition: “a thickness of some homogenous substance” – as will their archaeologist mates. Think of writing = a palimpsest, a parchment where earlier layers of writing of whatever nature were scraped off and replaced by w

Ken Dodd used to say that you could immediately tell a Frank Matcham theatre simply by walking on to the stage and speaking quietly. You’d be audible at the back of the gallery without difficulty. Frank Matcham’s smallest surviving theatre is the Wakefield Theatre Royal & Opera House, for many years known as the Opera House and now as the Theatre Royal. It stands on the site of an earlier Theatre Royal, which had been built in 1776 for the actor-manager Tate Wilkinson (1739-1803). Under his management John Kemble performed in Wakefield in 1778 and 1788 and Sarah Siddons in 1786; in the following generation Charles Kemble acted at the Theatre Royal in 1807 and Edmund Kean in 1819. The old theatre went into gradual decline through the middle of the nineteenth century, and in 1871 became a beer house and music hall, licensed by John Brooke, the landlord of the Black Horse pub. In 1883 it was revived as the Royal Opera House by Benjamin Sherwood, but was denied a licence nine years later because of the condition

Transcript from the "Svelte Basics" Lesson >> Okay, so in this section we're gonna go through the entire interactive Svelte tutorial. And by the end of it you'll have a complete grasp of what Svelte can do and how you write Svelte components. And so what I invite you to do is, in a new tab open the tutorial, go to Svelte.dev/tutorial, and we're just gonna go through the whole thing top to bottom, soup to nuts Now, this has some introductory spiel that I've already basically explained, so we're gonna go down there and click on the Next button, And we'll begin with our Hello world component. [00:00:58] So all of the three languages of the web they all fit together in Svelte component in a very idiomatic way. The first thing that we need to do is add some data. So gonna create a script tag up here, and I'm gonna create a variable, call it name, and we'll just give it a value like that world. [00:01:49] By the way, if you ever get stuck while going through these tutorials and you wanna just skip the end result th

If you decide to exercise for a mere fifteen minutes a day, you would already lower your rate of mortality by 14 percent than someone who does not exercise at all. When you are considering gym workout routines for women you should remember this and just try to get in a little bit of time every day. It will change your life. Setting up a few gym workout plans is a good way to get the ball rolling for your new attitude. Losing weight does not have to be as daunting as it seems as long as you pace yourself and set realistic goals. When they are setting up their gym workout routines for women, women should definitely be setting goals, but not outrageous ones. There is nothing more defeating than setting a goal for yourself and not being capable of reaching it. It will make losing weight that much harder. When it comes to diet, it is important to keep an eye on what goes into your body. You might be surprised to find out that eating a reasonable amount of dark chocolate can actually increase your chances of losing

1 The Scottish Government Urban Rural Classification provides a consistent way of defining urban and rural areas across Scotland. For more details see link. 2 ‘Lower’, ‘middle’ and ‘higher’ ranges of PEF allocation are based, respectively, on the lower 25% of schools, middle 50% of schools, and upper 25% of schools in terms of PEF allocation in 2018/19. 3 Survey weighting is used to re-balance survey responses to bring them more in line with the known profile of the wider population. In this instance, and consistent with previous surveys, weights were calculated to ensure response data was more consistent with the profile of all schools in receipt of ASF support, in terms of their distribution across ASF streams and urban/rural geography. 4 Hypothesis testing is used to assess whether the difference between two survey results (such as between the current and previous survey, or between two respondent groups) is significant. Using a 5% significance level, where a difference between two results is identified as

Today the FDA released formal regulatory guidelines governing genetic engineering of animals for food, drugs or medical devices. The specific requests in the guidelines, while not mandatory, are designed to show biotech companies seeking FDA approval for commercial use of GE animals how to follow federal drug laws. The new guidelines — while stronger than those for genetically modified plants and micro-organisms — drew criticism from groups worried about the hazards of bioengineered animals. Now all genetically engineered animals — food animals and those genetically altered for research– will be under FDA regulation. Food from GE animals will not have to be labeled as such, though if the genetic manipulation changes the nutritional content, that must be declared on the label. The guidelines state the FDA wants to be informed how the genetic alterations might change an animal’s health, behavior and nutritional value, as well as how companies will keep track of animals, prevent them from mingling with their non

Installing The Bonez Intake On An '86-'88 The Bonez intake from Rotary Performance provides a great (although expensive) way to get more air into the engine. Rotary Performance makes a kit for both the '86-'88 and the '89-'92 models. Installation on the later models is straightforward, but there are a few issues with the earlier models that need to be explained. If you received your kit with instructions (I didn't get any), or have seen the pictures on the Rotary Performance site, you will see that the installation has you rotate the air flow meter (AFM) 90 degrees. This allows the supplied bracket to bolt the AFM to the factory location. The problem with this method is that the flapper door in the AFM is now facing down, which allows gravity to pull on it and effect the readings the ECU sees. This will cause the car to run rich, and may result in loss of power, stinky exhaust, and failed emissions test. The instructions below show you how to install the intake, keeping the factory orientation of the AFM. - S

Renewable heat incentive (rhi) explained The UK government described the scheme as follows: The domestic RHI was launched on 9th April 2014 and provides financial support to the owner of the renewable heating system for seven years. The scheme covers England, Wales and Scotland and is targeted at, but not limited to off-gas households. The UK government’s department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) makes key policy decisions and energy regulator Ofgem E-Serve administers the scheme. Policy documents can be found on the UK government website. The eligibility requirements and rules of the scheme are on Ofgem’s website. Ofgem have also published a document of case studies from the domestic RHI for information. Please note that the information on this page is not an exhaustive list of all the criteria of the domestic RHI scheme.

Guinness World Records’ most prolific record breaker Ashrita Furman and members of the Sri Chinmoy Centre celebrated what would have been meditation teacher Sri Chinmoy’s 85th birthday by attempting to break the record for Most candles on a birthday cake. A staggering 72,585 candles were lit and remained burning for about 40 seconds, ensuring that the previous record went up in flames. Taking place at the Sri Chinmoy Centre in New York, a team of 100 people worked together to make the cake, individually place each candle and then light them with 60 blowtorches. The sponge cake was filled with vanilla mousse and created in the shape of a huge rectangle measuring 80.5 ft long and 2 ft wide. There were far too many candles for anyone to blow out in the traditional manner, so the candles were put out with CO2 fire extinguishers (to ensure that the dessert was still edible afterwards). The wax was then scraped off and the party tucked into the enormous cake. The previous record for the most lit candles on a cake w

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common nerve disorder that may interfere with hand strength and sensation, causing a decrease in function. Carpal tunnel syndrome is more common among women and middle-aged or older people. It usually affects one hand, but may occur in both. The median nerve and flexor tendons pass through the carpal tunnel on the inner wrist. When the median nerve is squeezed, it slows or blocks nerve impulses. Because this nerve provides muscle function and feeling in the hand, this can cause numbness, weakness or loss of function. Carpal tunnel syndrome may occur in people who are pregnant, overweight, or have diseases like arthritis or diabetes. Repetitive hand activity may not cause carpal tunnel syndrome, but may worsen symptoms. Symptoms range from mild, occasional numbness in fingers to weakness in hand, and loss of feeling or function in the hands. Symptoms often appear in the morning, but may happen at other times. Symptoms may worsen with hand activities like driving, holding a book or g

The National Theatre is the prime stage of the Czech Republic. It is also one of the symbols of national identity and a part of the European cultural space, with a tradition spanning more than 130 years. It is the bearer of the national cultural heritage, as well as a space for free artistic creation. Today, the National Theatre is made up of four artistic companies – the Opera, Drama, Ballet and Laterna magika. It artistically manages four stages – the three historical buildings: the National Theatre (1883), the State Opera (1888), and the Estates Theatre (1783), and the more recently opened New Stage (1983). The Opera, Drama and Ballet companies perform not only titles from the ample classical legacy, in addition to Czech works, they also focus on contemporary international creation.

In yogic terms, Truth, known as Satya, can be defined on three levels: (1) that we speak the truth about what we think, (2) what we feel and (3) what we do. When we feel out of alignment, it is usually where there is a conflict between what we think and what we feel. When we aren’t honest we feel unsteady, anxious, and uprooted—everything that happiness is not. In the Yoga Sutras Chapter 2.36, it is presented that if we are “dedicated to the truth and integrity, our thoughts, words and actions gain the power to manifest.” (Translation from Secret Power of Yoga by Nischala Joy Devi).

You’re checking work emails late into the night, obsessing about the next day’s to-do list, then glimpse the clock and panic that there’s no way you’ll get enough sleep to function. Are you waking up happy and refreshed the next morning? Probably not. So what can you (realistically) do to ensure you actually wake up on the right side of the bed? After getting some amazing advice from the professionals in Thrive’s contributor community about the worst advice they got when they were young, the books that changed their careers, and the things they stopped doing that led them to be more successful, we asked them about the nighttime routines that ensure a happy wakeup. We’re excited to test out some of these thoughtful rituals. Which will you decide to try? Tap into gratitude “I make a gratitude list every night.

What are the typical developmental milestones from 0 3 months? Key Milestones Difficulty lifting head. Stiff legs with little or no movement. Keeps hands fisted and lacks arm movement. Pushes back with head while lying on back. What is the physical development of a 3 month old baby? Three-month-old babies also should have enough upper-body strength to support their head and chest with their arms while lying on their stomach and enough lower body strength to stretch out their legs and kick. As you watch your baby, you should see some early signs of hand-eye coordination. What is the physical development of a newborn? Infant raises up (upper torso, shoulders, and head) with arms when lying face down (on tummy). Neck muscles are developed enough to allow the infant to sit with support, and keep head up. Primitive reflexes have either already disappeared, or are starting to disappear. What do you do with a 3 month old all day? You can help encourage her movement by providing daily tummy time sessions, handing toy

When we were little kids, we got a lot of different commands from our parents. “Baby steps,” as how they called it. We were told to “Walk!” while they were supporting our hips, to “Close- open!” our hands, and to play “Peeak-a-boo!” by putting our hands over our eyes and then removing them, as though trying to scare them but ended up looking like a cute, little monster, among many others. Our parents, of course, made all the decisions for us then. It was their decision whether we would eat breakfast, whether we would take a bath, or whether we would go to school. Basically, we grew up in the concept of having to follow orders from our parents for us to grow, step by step. But we are not always kids. We eventually grow up and our thinking skills develop. It is then when we already become aware about the many forces surrounding us that may or may not affect the decisions that we make for ourselves. As we grow older, it becomes harder and harder for us to make decisions because of so many possible choices laid ou

There is a war brewing between the socialist-lite mask-wearing kids who demand free healthcare and the socialist-lite mask- wearing kids gluing themselves to city streets tearfully screaming for an end to the fossil fuel industry. This goes much deeper than 1.6 billion discarded plastic-based face masks suffocating the world’s oceans every year as part of the 8 million tons of Covid-created plastic waste – 26,000 tons of which hits the water. And yes, climate catastrophists, you can virtue signal all you want about ‘saving the world’ with four needle emojis in your social media bio, but your face masks, gloves, vaccines, and sanitiser bottlers began life as a fossil fuel. Pharmaceutical companies rely heavily on petroleum. In the same way cows expel methane, healthcare runs on fossil fuels. As clueless Climate Change activist organisations successfully bully weak politicians into shutting down mining production, the price of healthcare and its basic medical supplies are set to rise.

Episode 204: Treating Fibromyalgia Naturally with Chris Volesky, L.Ac. Fibromyalgia is an incredibly complex syndrome that involves multiple, intertwined systems in the body. The collection of symptoms and expressions of fibromyalgia can often confound the conventional, allopathic medicine approach, leaving patients frustrated and disheartened. In order to unravel that complexity, Chris Volesky has created a protocol to treat fibromyalgia that builds on itself rather than trying to treat individual symptoms and systems of the body separately. Chris shares some of the basis of his approach and how the body can begin to heal itself once we remove some of the obstacles in the way. On Today’s Episode of A Healthy Curiosity: - The 8 key problem areas he identified through treating hundreds of fibromyalgia patients - What his treatment approach is like and why a lot of it is oddly simple - One piece of common advice that helps almost all of his fibromyalgia patients - Walking through a one minute practice that Chri

As of last Wednesday, after 33 years and six governors, Connecticut is moving toward the true meaning of equity and justice in education. I was moved at the monumental courage of Elizabeth Horton Sheff who filed the lawsuit to bring to the forefront that Hartford school students were still not on the same level playing field as white students in the suburbs. I was one of the first students of Project Concern — an experiment based on a Harvard University study in 1965 — for Hartford residents to go to white suburban schools. I started at Burr School in Wethersfield, and then was in the fourth grade in the same school my little sister was going to, Noah Wallace Elementary School in Farmington, in 1973. This bright-eyed and voracious reader with an open heart to learning loved the light colors of the school rooms and gymnasium. There was a tether ball in the playground for recess. I joined the field hockey team. I learned how to sing choral music with my first concert at the old Congregational church built in th

Crews kept up their steady progress Monday in bringing the massive Woolsey fire under control as they grappled with strong winds and high temperatures to reach 30 percent containment of a blaze that might have been ignited by failed electrical equipment and had already consumed 93,662 acres and put residents across Southern California on edge. Favorable weather overnight on Sunday, following a lull in the wind on Saturday, gave crews who have spent several grueling days battling the blaze the chance gain a foothold on a crisis that has terrified residents, exhausted firefighters and left a trail of devastation in its wake. Late Monday, President Donald Trump said he had approved financial assistance for the state to help with the major fires still burning in Northern California and in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Some of the thousands of residents forced to flee the firestorm late last week were beginning to return, while a stretch of the 101 Freeway in the fire area that had been closed for days re-open

Whether they’re heading back to school or learning from home, here are six easy ways you can make sure healthy living is part of their daily routine. This year, “back to school” is taking on a much different tone as some schools open and others prepare for more distance learning. COVID-19 has changed the landscape for parents, educators, and custodial staff –– but especially for children. Whether parents are sending their kids off to school again, or preparing for a hybrid model where their children divide their time between the school building and home, keeping their kids healthy ads yet another layer of stress to parenthood.

La Scala is one of the most important opera theatres in the globe, where many of the most famous operas were premiered. It now stages concerts, recitals and cultural events as well as ballet and opera. La Scala Theatre takes its name from Santa Maria della Scala, a church built in 1381 that occupied the same site. The theatre as it now stands was designed by the great neoclassical architect, Giuseppe Piemarini. It was inaugurated in 1778 with an opera by Antonio Salieri and has since premiered some of the great works of Verdi, Bellini and Puccini. La Scala has an enormous stage, a seating capacity of 2,015 in its grandiose auditorium and arguably some of the best acoustics of any opera house in the world. From the early 1800s, the theatre also included ballet in its repertoire of artistic performances. There is a theatrical museum and library attached to the opera house which provides a taste of the opulent world of the theatre and an in-depth look at La Scala's opera though the ages, as well as a general ove

(Natural News) Arthritis is a general term for a group of degenerative conditions that target the joints and the tissues that surround the joints. There are several types of arthritis including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. Although each type is influenced by unique factors, arthritis is generally marked by chronic inflammation in the hands, hips and knees. This inflammation is typically accompanied by immense pain and stiffness, which may affect an individual’s daily activities. Fortunately, there are several natural therapies and remedies that work to control inflammation and slow the progression of the disease. Remedies help with pain management, while holistic therapies like meditation and yoga help improve an individual’s attitude toward the disease and overall quality of life. One of the best ways you can ease the strain and pressure on the joints is to lose weight. Many people who have arthritis are also overweight or obese, and it is this excess weight that can wear dow

What can be done to stop racism Essay Racism is a certain kind of prejudice, based on faulty reasoning and inflexible generalizations toward a specific group. The word prejudice comes from the Latin noun praejudicium, which means a judgment based on previous decisions formed before the facts were known. If a person allows their prejudiced beliefs to block the progress of another, it is discrimination. Those who exclude all members of a race from certain types of employment, housing, political rights, educational opportunities, or a social interactions are guilty of racial discrimination. For centuries conflicts have taken place among three main races, Caucasian, Asian, and Negro ranging from snobbish social exclusion, to state- sponsored genocide. Racism is an unmerited fear or dislike of a people because of their ethnic heritage. When colour is not a reason, other reasons such as language, religion, nationality, education, sex, or age become the reason of prejudice. Sociologists, historians, anthropologists

By Aaron Glantz / Reveal March 30, 2020 “I’ll be the oversight,” President Donald Trump declared last week as Congress debated the $2.2 trillion economic rescue package he signed into law Friday. The bill, the largest stimulus ever enacted in the United States, greatly expands unemployment benefits, shores up small businesses and sends one-time checks to Americans making under $100,000 a year. It also includes unprecedented giveaways to corporate America, including a $170 billion tax break over 10 years for real estate investors and developers, such as Trump and presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner, and $500 billion in corporate bailout money to be administered by Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, which Democrats have called a “slush fund.” True to his word, Trump balked at any congressional oversight of the money. On Friday, just after signing the stimulus, the president issued a rare signing statement saying he would treat accountability provisions of the law as “not mandatory,” citing “constitutional conc

“I’m amazed that so many people are so amazed that a girl built a motorcycle.” – Dr. Eva Håkansson There are many types of different adrenaline junkies in the world, as well as those who have a definite need for exhilaration combined with some element of risk. Most of us immediately think of race car driving when it comes to those speed seekers, and that’s a sport that we’ve seen being offered improvements via 3D printing from inspiring advanced student projects to decked out vehicles eventually meant to run on the professional track. And then there are those who prefer to ride—and often race—motorcycles. Enjoying speed and excitement, but with much less protection, motorcyclists are a breed all their own, enjoying high speeds whether on the track or in a more natural landscape. Technology, and that on the extreme cutting edge, has always played a large role in the automotive industry, and we’ve certainly seen our share of 3D printing in the motorcycle realm already, from racing bikes to fully functional moto

Even if you’re not afraid of blood – or needles! – having your blood drawn for testing may not be something you’re eager to do. Here are some tips to make it a bit easier. Having Your Blood Drawn? Here is How to Prepare 1. Find out if you need to “fast” before testing Many blood tests, such as cholesterol tests, require fasting in order to get accurate results. This means no food or drink (besides water) can be taken by the person for 8-12 hours before the test (including chewing gum and even breath mints!). So nothing after dinner, and no breakfast in the morning before you go to the lab. A simple guide is to use 12 hours as your measurement. If you plan to go to the lab at 8 am, start fasting at 8 pm the night before. 2. Drink plenty of water before your test Even though you might be fasting, drinking water before you go to bed and then before you have your blood drawn is a good idea in order to avoid dehydration. In most cases, when you are properly hydrated, it can make it easier for the lab technician to

At the end of Robert Heinlein’s short story “All You Zombies”, the protagonist, who has managed through gender re-assignment and time travel to be his own mother and father, seems trapped in his own narcissistic circle of causality. After he has completed his cycle of movement and ‘movements’, he speaks to an unnamed other of his loneliness, only to ask of the rest of the world “I know where I came from—but where did all you zombies come from?” His zombies, it seems, are the agentless walking- living, that teeming mass of people who aren’t causes of their own existence, who look outward for will, meaning, and mission. Zombies, thus, are easy metaphors for the automatic behavior of human beings—the way we mindlessly consume ourselves and the world around us from the moment we’re born until we die. Not being a zombie is, on one hand, a losing battle against appetite and attrition. Not thinking about zombies? Something different altogether. In the 1990 Christian Slater vehicle, Pump Up the Volume, a wise urban ki

In contemporary architectural design, the definition of envelope geometry often precedes consideration of its material build-up. The geometries created in such a top-down manner require subsequent rationalisation for This thesis addresses methods for the aesthetic and efficient structuring of arbitrary surfaces while respecting distinct architectural considerations. Digital design tools have been developed to approximate surfaces using isotropic triangular or quadrangular elements. Various methods for the creation of simplified base complexes are shown. Such complexes expose a simplified topological build-up of surfaces and are used to create global parameterisations of surfaces of arbitrary genus. For quadrangular discretisation, the restructuring can be aligned to a user-defined vector field on the surface. The generated geometries are then optimised with regard to architectural considerations by means of dynamic relaxation. Particular attention is given to the compatibility of the methods with existing des

National Civil Justice Reform: A Proposal for New Federal-State Partnerships proposes a civil justice reform package to ensure that vulnerable Americans facing legal problems such as wrongful evictions and contract disputes have the resources they need to secure justice. Many Americans lack sufficient access to the civil justice system, the legal system that provides protection against some of the greatest challenges facing Americans such as wrongful evictions, workplace disputes, or unfair debt collection practices. An estimated 16 million Americans go through the civil justice system without lawyers every year, even though the system’s complexity demands legal representation. Others choose not to turn to the courts at all when faced with a civil justice matter. These problems are particularly severe for people of color. In this paper, Daniel Wilf-Townsend proposes a package of reforms to ensure that vulnerable Americans facing legal problems have access to justice. Anchored by a new commitment by the federa

A notable trend this year in Spanish life writing has been to give voice to those silenced. Following in the footsteps of a long-standing tradition of testimonial life writing worldwide, multiple lifewriting works in Spain have been turning to issues of "voice" and "silence." It is little surprise that some of these stories feature women after the global impact of the #MeToo movement. However, the trends I identified in my contribution to this feature last year (Martínez García) have persisted. Conflict continues to permeate life narratives in Spain, and as will be seen in what follows, both politics and journalism are among the most prevalent fields of study from which life writing comes.
