Janine Tugonon scores NU Muses Top 12
Hot off the heels of her recent Victoria Secret ad that scored a win for diversity, beauty queen Janine Tugonon continues to captivate the International stage, this time bagging a spot on NU Muses calendar a project of Treats! magazine founder Steve Shaw and celebrity photographer David Bellemere that aims to celebrate the "uncensored beauty of the naked body."
On Facebook, Janine shared her experience, saying she thought she did not do well in the test shoot.
"I thought I did really bad during the test shoot and final casting since I was having a bad day that day," said the New York-based Tugonon, who finished first runner-up in the Miss Universe 2012 pageant. "But [I] got the call from my agent few days after and it was AMAZING!"
According to the Nu Muses website, Tugonon, along with 11 other models who were picked by a panel of judges and through social media voting, will receive $10,000 each and will be "photographed nude" by Bellemere at an "exclusive location." The winners will also be "flown to Miami for the VIP launch event at Art Basel covered by major press outlets, featured in the December issue of Treats with the chance to grace the cover of the magazine, and featured in a documentary to be shown on one of the largest TV networks in the USA and distributed worldwide

Mocha Uson to be first Filipina on Online Game
Mocha Uson's fierceness and popularity online seem to be paying off as she has recently been tapped to be the first Filipina to have a character modeled after her on top-grossing online game Crossfire. The character will be released in 2017.
Rene Parada, the product manager of Game Club said that they wanted to tap into Uson's competitive and playful personality. "We wanted to have a face, the best fit to describe CrossFire. That's why we picked Mocha, for the fiery, competitive nature and fun, playful personality," said Parada in a press conference.
Uson will also be the new face of CrossFire, and represent the game as an ambassador. The Mocha Girls will also be working with the brand. CrossFire, a multiplayer first-person shooter game, will be holding an international competition in Manila from October 14 to 16.

Maryland Appeals Court Considers Personal Injury Claims Brought By Illegal Aliens
Maryland Appeals Court Considers Personal Injury Claims Brought By Illegal Aliens
February 05, 2014
Gerald W. Ueckermann, Jr.
Ayala v. Lee
involved a suit brought by two undocumented immigrants from El Salvador who were injured in Maryland, while working, when a truck operated by the defendant driver collided with their truck, which was parked on the shoulder of a road. The trial court admitted evidence regarding the plaintiffs' illegal immigration status, and the jury subsequently found that the defendant driver was not negligent.
On appeal, the Court of Special Appeals held that the trial court should have granted the plaintiffs' motion for judgment on the issue of liability. It also found that Federal law does not prohibit an undocumented alien from recovering damages for lost earrings or medical expenses solely because of his or her immigration status. The court next considered whether evidence of the plaintiffs' status as undocumented immigrants would be relevant and admissible in the damages trial that it was remanding the case for.
The court found that although evidence of immigration status is relevant to claims for lost earnings and medical expenses, a trial court must determine whether admission of such evidence is overly prejudicial. Immigration status is prejudicial if it introduces a factor into the case that might encourage the jury to dislike or disapprove of the plaintiff independent of the merits of his or her claim. If the trial court determines that evidence of immigration status is not unduly prejudicial, then the question becomes whether the plaintiff is entitled to lost earnings based on a United States pay rate or based on the pay rate of his or her home country. Resolution of this question requires the jury to decide the probability that the plaintiff will be deported, or otherwise return to, his or her home country. "Facts for the jury to weigh include: whether there is an imminent risk of deportation; how long the party has been in the United States; his or her work history in the United States; whether he or she has a family in the United States; what the United States wage rate is; and what the comparable home country wage rate would be, among other considerations." The court also observed that defendants would benefit from securing expert witnesses to testify about the likely pay rates in the plaintiff's home country.
court also considered whether evidence of unlawful immigration status could be used to impeach the credibility of the plaintiffs. The court noted that immigration status alone does not reflect on an individual's character and is therefore not admissible for impeachment purposes. During discovery, however, the
plaintiffs provided answers to interrogatories representing that they were legally permitted to work in the United States, and they produced copies of tax returns that included Social Security numbers that they falsely claimed were theirs. Nevertheless, at trial they introduced into evidence copies of applications for asylum that indicated that they were neither United States citizens nor legal residents. Under these circumstances, the court found that plaintiffs had opened the door to questioning about their immigration status, and that on remand, if the plaintiffs testified, their credibility could be attacked with questions aimed at these apparently inconsistent statements.
thus establishes that an undocumented immigrant's unlawful immigration status is relevant and admissible in a personal injury action under certain circumstances. In determining whether evidence regarding immigration status should be admitted, a trial court must determine whether such evidence would be overly prejudicial.

In the Dominican Republic, homework is a rare privilege. When tourists in Boca Chica stopped leaving the walled compounds of their all-inclusive resorts, the local economy that had sprung up around the hotels crumbled. Families that invested all that they had into their business suddenly found themselves without customers. Then the hurricanes came and the price of food climbed even higher and children were taken out of the classroom to try and earn a living.
That is when local groups such as Caminante, a Global Ministries partner, stepped in to demand a better future for these children. With a holistic approach that includes homework help, counseling, and advocating for the rights of children in the Dominican Republic, they created a safe environment where children can thrive once again.
For many families a choice has to be made between sending their child to school or sending their child to work. Unfortunately, this decision is not made by the parents, but by their circumstances – often poverty robs parents of the opportunity to give their child a better future.
Global Ministries works with partners to provide practical, affordable education that restores many of the opportunities that poverty has taken away.
Make your gift an alternative gift of Education and honor a loved one while making a difference in the lives of individuals around the world.

What do you do when feel you need some pick-me-up moments? Do you pack your bag and go travel to places that blow your mind? Or do you indulge in a little bit of guilty pleasure, like having a tub of chocolate fudge Ben & Jerry's in bed? How about a bit of art and music therapy visiting museums and jazz lounge? That was me a while back when I felt I just need to hit that 'pause' button and pull myself away from the routine. I got my suitcase packed without a solid plan of where to go. Three days later, I found myself more than 9,000 miles away from home across the Pacific and started my California-cation, landed in San Francisco and stumbled upon bits and pieces along the golden West Coast.
Hello there, my lost soul! These were places where we met again… 🙂 Now follow us on our Instagram journey, would you?

- Ben & Jerry's and the 'Golden Great' sugar fix…For My Body
Ahh…refreshing! Need I say more? The goodness of Ben & Jerry's was nourishing for the body and soul after a day spent under the California sun. The ice creamery may not have been born in San Francisco, but they've spread their love to the city by offering a unique flavour called 'San Fran-tastic'. I was apparently a little bit too late for a pint of heaven as it was a one-day only offer in July featuring ingredients that received top votes from the city's residents.
Apparantly, caramel ice cream with Graham crackers, covered with chocolate from Kika's Treats, milk chocolate from TCHO and pieces of marshmallow are the keys to finding happiness and a pint of euphoria for people of San Fran. Now this is really drool-worthy! How I wish we'll soon get a unique Gold Coast flavour with the new B & J's opened at Surfers Paradise! Now I wonder what makes a perfect scoop of 'Paradise flavoured' ice cream?
Ghireldelli – Another San Francisco local's favourite. My verdict? I'd say their chocolates are so much more addictive than their ice cream or thickshakes, so you know how to plan to spend the rest of your sugar quota wisely (if there is any!).
Don't go home without: Dark & Sea Salt Caramel Squares – simply divine!
Berry me! @Ferry Building Marketplace
- West Coast Jazz…For My Soul
A night of mellow jazz tunes from the era of Ella Fritgerald at Yoshi's Oakland ended my day with a delightful note. I find West Coast jazz more appealing than East Coast sound as it's typically a little bit mellower and more lyrical. A mix of marvelous local artists (and a lot big names performers from time to time), yummy cocktails, bite-size sushi and exquisite jazz lounge at Yoshi's had me totally melted!
So tell me Dear Reader, where do you travel searching for your lost soul?

We spend a lot of time inside our residences. In fact, an Environmental Protection Agency survey found Americans spend about 90 percent of their lives inside.
Assume indoor air is superior in Austin? Rethink that. Indoor air pollutant levels are frequently two to five times greater than outdoor air pollution levels, according to the EPA. This can cause a severe impact to your health.
Strand Brothers Service Experts can make your home's air cleaner with our indoor air quality (IAQ) units. And you can breathe easily knowing all our excellent services are backed by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee for a year.* Get started by requesting a complimentary Home Health® report.
Enhanced indoor air quality could help you stay healthier and make your HVAC equipment run longer.
Strand Brothers Service Experts has a couple ways to fight pollution indoors. We're Experts in accomplishing the most ideal indoor air quality for your home.
We can help you identify the differences between each type of whole-home air cleaner, purifier and filter.

These systems emit powerful UV beams to kill bacteria, mold and viruses. The light can clean your home's air, ductwork and heating/cooling equipment. And decrease the concentration of airborne microorganisms by 50 percent as fast as 45 minutes.
A whole-home humidifier can reduce respiratory illnesses and allergy and asthma symptoms. It can also take care of static and help you avoid dry air damage to your possessions.
A whole-home dehumidifier can protect against mold and mildew while increasing comfort.
Installing a ventilation system to your home can keep indoor air from turning stuffy and balance humidity levels.
Mold, pollen and pet dander are typical pollution sources in your home. Other sources include household cleaners and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
VOCs can be emitted by products in your home, such as building materials, flooring or furniture. They can also be detected in various air fresheners and scented candles. Heightened VOCs can result in respiratory irritation, headaches and dizziness, among other problems.
Many scientific studies have discovered respiratory diseases, asthma and other health problems are connected to inferior indoor air quality. Allergies can also be triggered by indoor air quality issues.
If your family has symptoms that worsen at home and improve when you leave, you may be affected by indoor pollution. You should also talk to your doctor if you're anxious about your health.

My name is Drew.
I live in the beautiful state of Maine.

2.5/10-3/10: There are a very few good things that prevent it from being garbage, but it's still a bad movie. Skip it.
3.5/10-4.5/10: Pretty bad. It has its moments, but not good enough to recommend. If you really want to see the movie, rent it.
5/10-5.5/10: Average. Some good qualities and bad qualities. I prefer renting the movie.
6/10-6.5/10: Not bad, not bad. Could have been better/worse. Worth seeing once.
7/10-8/10: It might have its fair share of flaws, but the movie is good enough to recommend.
8.5/10-9.5/10: Far from being masterful, but still a terrific movie.

Health Education & Lifestyle Program – HELP
How would you like to live for another 5, 10 or 15 years disease free and medication free?
What if you could reverse the effects of a chronic disease which you are currently suffering from?
What is the point in living until 80 if you can't remember your own name due to dementia?
Imagine spending your later years healthier than ever running around and playing with your grand kids!
You can, with a little HELP.
The rise of Chronic Disease
Chronic disease is on the rise and is threatening not only our longevity, but also our quality of life.
For the first time in the history of mankind, our life expectancy has begun to decline, and it's not because we have reached the natural limit of the human body at 85 years of age.
It is because pharmaceutical drugs and surgical intervention can only get you so far. Ultimately chronic disease will win in the end.
Chronic disease is the single biggest health challenge facing people in the western world. Our diet, our largely sedentary lifestyle and the environment in which we live is all contributing to lifestyle related disease such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, dementia and Alzheimer's.
At the core of the problem is inflammation. Our bodies are simply not designed to cope with long term, persistent levels of inflammation. But yet, poor eating habits supresses our immune system and leads to a leaky gut, which leads to inflammation – the precursor to chronic disease.
Think about it, here are the seven most common types of chronic disease, and they are all caused or linked to inflammation in the body.
- Arthritis – joint inflammation
- Asthma – lung inflammation
- Cancer – chronic inflammation which causes DNA damage
- Cardiovascular disease – arterial inflammation
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease – lung inflammation
- Type 2 Diabetes – internal inflammation caused by high visceral fat
- Dementia and Alzheimer's – brain inflammation
All of these diseases are largely preventable by eating a healthy diet, staying active and controlling the environment in which we live.
Genetics plays in fact a very small part in chronic disease. Just because breast cancer runs in your family doesn't mean you will develop it. Just because dementia runs in your family doesn't mean it will get you.
Diet, lifestyle and our environment all play a much bigger role than genetics.
HELP is available
Its never too late to prevent or reverse the effects of chronic disease. And a lot of it starts with achieving and maintaining a health body weight for our height, more specifically a healthy body fat level.
Over 60% of Australians are now overweight or obese according to the ABS and the Body Mass Index (BMI). Carrying too much body fat, especially internal visceral fat around the organs, leads to a whole bunch of problems, the biggest being type 2 diabetes.
Have you ever wondered why after losing weight on the latest fad diet, you gain it all back again in 6 months?
Have you ever started a diet and found that after a few weeks you begin to self-sabotage and end up right back where you started?
Most people can lose weight in the short term, but are unable to keep it off in the long term.
For permanent, long lasting change to occur we must tackle the underlying bad habits, behaviours and beliefs that led to the weight gain the first place.
Why do you eat the foods that you eat?
Why do you reach for the bad foods when you're stressed?
What is HELP?
HELP is a 6-week group coaching program that tackles the root cause of chronic disease – diet, lifestyle and environment.
The program is specifically designed to take you on a journey of change and permanent transformation so that you can lead not just a long life but a high-quality life with the people you love the most.
Modules that we will cover in HELP:
Discover that it's not what you eat that's important, but rather when, where, how and why you eat that is even more important. Delve into why diets don't work and what you can do to find an eating plan that matches your unique body.
The gut is the most important organ in the human body. Discover in this module how the gut microbiome is more intelligent than you are. The role the gut plays on our cravings, mental and physical health and the exciting new science that is leading to customised diets. You are not what you eat, you are what your gut bacteria digests!
Sugar hits the same pleasure centres in the brain as cocaine! Learn about the seductive power of sugar and why so many of us are addicted without even knowing it, the impact that it has on our blood sugar, why sugar makes us fat, the type 2 diabetes epidemic and how to break the sugar habit.
Living with chronic stress is one of the main contributors to chronic disease. Discover the impact that stress has on our bodies, nutrient absorption, digestion and why stress can stop you from losing weight despite eating healthily. Learn how to manage and reduce chronic stress levels by conscious breathing.
Discover the truth about this socially accepted drug and the benefits of reducing your consumption or giving it away for good! You will see alcohol differently after this sought-after module.
Go on a deep dive into the psychology of change and transformation, why do we find it so hard to reach our goals, what are habits and how do we break old one and form new health-promoting ones? Learn how to move from your current self to your desired self without succumbing to self-sabotage.
We underrate the importance of getting 6-8 hours of sleep at night. Discover how to get your sleep routine back in check, what factors influence a good night's sleep and what happens to your body when it is sleep deprived. You will look at sleep differently once you have learned why your body needs it.
We all know exercise is important but you don't have to hit the gym 3 times a week to get the benefits. Discover what form of movement or activity is right for you, why short bursts of high-intensity movement are just as good as a 45-minute walk.
It's never too late to change?
As Mickey Mantle said:
The right time to take action is today. Your number one asset is your health so don't bury your head in the sand, be proactive and live the life you were always destined to live!

Parliament buys 64 cars for Commonwealth conference
Friday September 20 2019
Parliament will require more than 180 cars to transport more than 1,200 delegates for the 2019 Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference (CPC) in Kampala.
Authorities have spent Shs18b on the procurement of 64 CPC vehicles.
The new fleet is composed of four executive coaches (buses), 10 omni buses, a number of Mercedes double cabin pick-up trucks and vans.
Additional vehicles will, however, be borrowed from the various government agencies and staff of Parliament, according to Mr Peter Ogwang (NRM, Usuk County), the head of the CPC sub-committee on Transport.
"We have asked other government agencies to assist us with additional cars to support the conference because our budget could not afford all the cars we needed," Mr Ogwang said.
He added that after the conference, the vehicles will form part of the Parliament fleet.
"We cannot hire cars to facilitate internal movements of members; those vehicles are going to help move MPs to various parts of the country," Mr Ogwang said.
Future use
The cars according to the lawmaker will also be used by other government departments with similar conferences, implying that government will not have to spend tax payers' money for fresh purchases.
The cars will facilitate movement of the delegates around town and to the selected tour sites across the country.
The cars will also pick up delegates from the airport and take them to various hotels. The delegates start arriving today ahead of the opening of the conference on Sunday.
The 64th CPC meeting opens on September 22 and is expected to end on September 29. The main venue for the Commonwealth Conference is at Commonwealth Resort Hotel, Munyonyo.
The Kampala meeting is expected to run under the theme: "Adaption, engagement, and evolution of Parliaments in a rapidly changing Commonwealth."
Why new cars
Mr Ogwang said the decision to buy new cars was occasioned by the nature of the conference and what he called "added advantage."
"The last time government bought cars was during 2007 Chogm and the cars are already worn out and almost written off," Mr Ogwang said, adding that "we are dealing with heads of Parliaments that include: the Speaker of Canada, Speaker of Australia and the United Kingdom. These are Speakers of Commonwealth countries and we have to accord them all the necessary support for their movements,"
Ahead of the 2012 Inter-Parliamentary Union summit in Kampala, the Parliamentary Commission bought 35 cars at Shs2.5 billion. In 2007, government spent billions of shillings on BMW cars as it prepared to host the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (Chogm).
The procurement process of the BMWs was later discovered to be flawed. Mr Ogwang has, however, assured the country that the procurement process was transparent and promised to account for the Shs18b spent on the 64 cars.
The Commission qualified a number of suppliers for the vehicles, including Toyota Uganda Limited for the Supply of Escort Cars, Kampala Motors Limited for lead cars and Nissan.

Development to be sole agenda of Congress in UP elections: Sheila Dikshit
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
New Delhi, July 18 (ANI): For the next year's assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh the Congress party's chief ministerial candidate Sheila Dikshit has said, her party's sole agenda will be to bring development to the state. In an exclusive conversation with ETV News head Jagdeesh Chandra, Dikshit said "People of Uttar Pradesh are not going to give Akhilesh Yadav another chance. The development in UP has come to halt in the last 15 years." Acknowledging the presence of Priyanka Gandhi election will be significant, she said "Congress will benefit if Priyanka campaigns for the party in UP." Dikshit also defended Rahul Gandhi saying that he should be given more time. She also acknowledged the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to be rival and a tough competitor in the 2017 assembly elections. She, however, said chances of the BJP winning the upcoming elections are dwindling since Prime Minister Narendra Modi has failed to fulfill his electoral promises. "Modi's popularity has decreased in last two years and he has failed to fulfill his election promises," she said. Uttar Pradesh will see a four -way battle for the leadership among the ruling Samajwadi Party, the Bahujan Samaj Party, the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party. Congress has been out of power in the state for almost 27 years. The Ruling Samajwadi Party is leaving no stones unturned and has been riding on its Muslim and Yadav voter base. Bahujan Samaj Party, on the other hand, who lost its leadership to SP, is eyeing for a comeback in the state with its strong Dalit vote base. Meanwhile Bharatiya Janata Party is trying to replicate its 2014 general elections victory which fetched 71 out of 80 Lok Sabha seats. (ANI)

The Cable Ship Living Stone suffered a fire yesterday afternoon, located on the Santurtzi dock where construction work was being completed outside La Naval. Yesterday afternoon, the cable ship Living Stone caught fire on the Santurtzi dock, Vizcaya.
It seems that five of the workers had to be treated for intoxication due to smoke inhalation, but it has not been necessary to be hospitalized.
According to various sources and means of communication, the ship was being finished building outside of La Naval facilities. The departure of the shipyard in October was after reaching a consensus on the conditions of departure of the ship after the owner, DEME-
Tideway, tried to take the ship in the middle of the night at the end of September, being prevented by the Ertzaintza and shipyard personnel.

The job of a Bible translator is pretty straightforward; they have to take the message of the Bible and make it accessible to speakers of other languages. There are some complexities on the way, but the overall concept is clear; take the Bible and make it understandable to people.
In fact, this is what all mission is about, presenting the message of the Bible, which climaxes in the story of Jesus to people in a way that they can understand. We can present the message in words and we can demonstrate Jesus care for humanity through our actions. However, the connection to the message of the Bible needs to be overt. If we care for people but we don't make the link to the story of God's love in Christ, then all we are doing is being nice – it isn't mission in any meaningful sense.
Our motives and intentions may all be good, but mission isn't defined by good intentions. Mission involves pointing people to Jesus who is revealed in the Bible and at some point this means using words.
Of course, the opposite is also true. If all we do is tell people a message, but we don't back this up by loving concern, then we've not really translated the message in a meaningful way.

The average cost for child care for Canadian families is increasing steadily. A recent study by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) shows an increase of eight per cent since 2014. This of course, is not a problem for families in which one parent chooses to stay home to care for the children, rather than work. But many parents who decide to or need to work are digging holes in their pockets from the unaffordable child care costs. Multiple children can end up costing over $3,000 a month in care.
These child care rates should be lowered and capped at a reasonable and affordable cost for working families in Canada.
The study from the CCPA focuses on three ages groups: infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. All day care for children under four years old seem to cost the most. Costs of care also depend on where you live. The highest cost for child care in Canada is Ontario. More specifically, Toronto. In Toronto, infant care costs an average of $1,649 per month, which adds up to $19,788 a year. The lowest rate is Montreal. Parents using full-time care in Quebec pay an average of $164 per month.
Many Toronto residents have moved east to Durham Region where daycare costs are a little less, but no major decrease. The Region reports cost for toddlers at a non-profit daycare at $48.40, compared with $43 at a local commercial daycare. Both rates are above the proposed increase to $42.75. The Region's daycare centers also saw a three per cent rate increase since last year.
In Quebec, the province and its government stepped in to put a cap on child care rates. Because of this, many stay-at-home parents who really wanted to work were given the opportunity. The extra jobs boosted average household incomes along with the entire economy.
The system in Quebec wasn't perfect and did eventually prove to be too expensive for the government. The rates were changed again, but Quebec families still pay the lowest rates in Canada. The "Quebec model" or a system like it, is worth applying to other provinces and jurisdictions.
During his election campaign, Justin Trudeau did commit to a national child care strategy. According to Liberal.ca, they plan to meet with provinces, territories, and indigenous communities to begin a new "National Early Learning and Child Care Framework" to deliver affordable, high-quality, and flexible child care for Canadian families. The Liberals say it will be funded through their investments in social infrastructure.
According to The Toronto Star, as of February 6 Mayor John Tory announced an investment and grants to fund local school boards that house child care spaces. The investment of $1.13 million in 2017 will mean the parents of more than 8,000 children in Toronto will not see their fees go up.
At least for now, some parents of Toronto can be assured their rates will not go up. But for many other parents of nearby regions, the battle for lower child care fees continues. If a change is going to happen, it needs to happen now. The price should be capped like Quebec's model and help our province's economy as well. For hardworking Ontario parents, the plan and federal budget for affordable child care can't come soon enough.

Mamata Vs CBI: SC directs Kolkata police chief to cooperate with the CBI but no arrest
Advertisement .a
The Supreme Court directed the Kolkata police commissioner Rajeev Kumar to make himself available to the CBI. However, the Apex Court instructed no coercive steps like arrest can be undertaken at this point and served notices to West Bengal Chief Secretary, DGP and Kolkata police chief. The Supreme Court gave directions based on the plea filed by CBI alleging that the Kolkata top cop has destroyed evidence pertaining to the Saradha chit fund scam. This is a massive setback to Mamata Banerjee those from the Opposition that have sided with her.

Teenagers from upper secondary schools in Kristiansand are doing research work for a new project at the Centre for e-health at the University of Agder.
This article is more than one years old, and may contain outdated information.
On Thursday, 7 February, a group of youths from the upper secondary school Kvadraturen skolesenter visited the Centre for e-health on the university's Campus Grimstad to present their research.
The teenagers who attend the programme subject class Technology and Research had carried out a survey about youths' thoughts on e-health, using social media and how they related to online health services.
"It has been a demanding project with a lot of numbers and results, but now that we have the final result, I must say it was absolutely worth the effort," Anders Holmene Brueland says.
He attends Kvadraturen skolesenter and says that the work has made him see how complex research work can be and how much work is actually behind it.
"A large part of the preparations for the project was learning more about privacy protection," Brueland tells. "It was something I knew quite a lot about, but the scope of everything you must keep in mind surprised me. Especially regarding privacy protection."
Throughout 2018, four groups from different schools in Kristiansand have been a part of the project by the Centre for e-health.
The project is a part the PROFORSK programme from the Research Council of Norway which aims to raise understanding of the impact that research has on society and contribute to raising children and youths' interest in research. The programme aims to contribute to showing children and youths that research is a possible career path.
Head of the Centre for e-health Andreas Prinz says he is very pleased with the work done by the teenagers.
"They have been very interested and have provided input the entire way. They have collected quantitative data and delivered good results. But they have also provided additional information, such as why youths do not use such and such technology or website. That is important information for us to have for our further work," Prinz says.
The Centre for e-health works with technologic development of health and caregiving services. Co-creation is a central part of that.
"The goal is that the students will understand the complexity of e-health and how important expertise and research are in this field," Prinz says.
In addition to doing surveys, the youths have visited the Centre for e-health to learn more about how they work. Among other things, this involves roleplaying about developing services where groups of teenagers take turns playing out and observing realistic situations.
"Afterwards, we gather to discuss what worked and what did not. Do we have to change the service or the technology that is used? This makes the youths understand how technology and service development work," Prinz says.
Anders Holmene Brueland says that being involved in the project has been an interesting experience.
"It is impressive to see how the department is organised and that such a facility exists. What made the greatest impression on me were the simulated hospital section and the technology they have access to," he says.
He was already aware of the existence of several e-health services for teenagers, such as ung.no and Helsesista, but not how much they are used.
"It was new to me how unknown e-health services are among teenagers, even though we surround ourselves with technology 24/7," he says.

The Psychology and Philosphy of Concepts and Their Acquisition
Tangent, Ellen Lee
MetadataShow full item record
During the summer of 1967, while studying the psychology of learning under Dr. Berne Jacobs I became interested in the theories of concept learning found in the three textbooks assigned for the course. They were: The Conditions of Learning by Robert N. Gagne, The Psychology of Learning by James Deese and Stewart H. Hulse, and Learning by J. Charles Jones. I had also written a paper the previous spring which required defining what it is to have a concept. As there seemed to be some differences between the two approaches, I decided to further examine the psychological and philosophical literature in this area to see if the differences could be resolved.

Location: Sacramento, CA
Bio: I am a freelance writer and have found a way to make a living doing what I love. Music is my true love and life's passion. I am a bass player and still have the Rock N Roll dream, but I'm also realistic.
My primary mission on this website is to find and give a voice to as many bands as possible. 'The cream will always rise to the top' as they say, so my vision is to get as many people into the pot as possible so that they will have a chance.
In talking to bands I, of course, cover the basics, but my goal is much bigger. I want to know what makes them who they are and where the source of their artistic expression comes from. I am looking for the essence of what makes great music possible and to do that, I try to get into the minds and processes of musicians.
Likes: I believe that we have only scratched the surface of what is possible in music. I love any band that pushes boundaries. I can appreciate any music, even if it doesn't do anything for me. In my own time, you will mostly find me listening to any variety of metal and experimental music. To that end, the gods of metal like Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Pantera are high on my list, as are the artists of music such as Pink Floyd, The Mars Volta, Tom Morello and Les Claypool.

FPTP: 2 votes
STV: 22 votes
AV: 1 vote
WTF?: 3 votes
So STV by a landslide. Assuming most visitors to Brigadoon are independence-friendly (as suggested by the onward rumbling constitutional settlement poll) I guess that makes sense. After all, the SNP have routinely gained many fewer MPs than their share of the vote would justify.
It's been interesting to see some of the arguments from various corners of Westminster about PR vs FPTP. Essentially the argument seems to have been that yes, PR is more democratic, but it precludes the formation of a strong government (unless of course a single party polls >50%). Perhaps they should cast their eyes northwards to see a strong minority government in action, aided by a few fleeting glimpses of a new, more consensual style of politics...?
Sadly I fear the BNP gaining 2 MEPs will scupper any chances of PR appearing in Westminster elections any time soon: it's the perfect excuse to keep the cosy Lab/Tory duopoly for evermore.

The Feedback Lifeline
Understand how feedback provides a lifeline to underperformers, along with the need to structure both your feedback conversations with underperformers and the follow-up.
In law firms, consistent high performance is often the minimum expectation. That means underperformance rarely goes unnoticed. Underperformance hinders everything: the overall quality of the work; its timely delivery within budget; and general well-being for the underperformer's supervisor, who must often clean up the ensuing mess.
To be clear: by underperformance, we don't mean occasional mistakes of the sort we all sometimes make. We're talking about performance falling so far short that...

In a further deteriorating situation in Gaza and escalating military tensions, 17 protesters were killed and more than 1,400 were wounded in the Great Return March, a call for the right of return for Palestinian refugees in the besieged enclave. The peaceful sit-in demonstration that sought to voice the fervour of the people to return to Palestine was a right of the people, and was to continue leading up to the commemoration of the Nakba on May 15. As condemned by the international community, the Israeli army's use of force is indeed a violation of international law, breaching the legal obligation to distinguish between civilians and combatants.
As per usual, the UN Security Council failed to exact a cohesive stance of the issue, a testament to an obfuscation of its role in the region by a determined Trump administration. In the wake of the US government holding aid to UNRWA for Palestinian refugees hostage, a move that could prove catastrophic for millions of people in need, the political dimensions of the US stance on the disputed region may have an inflammatory role in the playing out of the violence on the border. Where withholding aid to UNRWA transgresses and undermines the prerogative of the UN and endangers the most vulnerable segment of the Palestinian people, depriving the refugees of the right to education, health, shelter and a dignified life, it further exacerbates the instability throughout the region, which will only lead to revolts and uprisings.
Over the past five months, Trumps peace plan for region has been intimated as being increasingly discriminatory towards the Palestinian state where it the Palestinians' right of return would be ignore and the control of the Jordan Valley would be given to Israel. Further intimations allude to the establishment of a Palestinian state with provisional borders on half of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, without Jerusalem, with only humanitarian solutions to the refugee issue and keep Palestinian security and borders in the hands of Israel.
In the face of mounting military conflicts, and Trumps' weighted and coercive attempts at forcing a reconciliation, the situation is in eminent danger of escalating into a mass resistance with implications for all those with a stake in the conflict; the Palestinians, the neighbouring Arab states, for the UN, for the EU, for Russia, for China, for the BDS movement, for liberal Jewish groups in the US and for all others in the international community.
With John Bolton as national security adviser, who does not ascribe to the two-state solution, the peace plan and US radical position on Palestine hints at feeble chances at the sanctimonious superpower brokering peace in the region. What its dithering deportment seems to have accomplished is to perhaps embolden and further legitimise the Israeli claim to the region, which is portrayed in this instance of undue atrocity.

Pax Talks
Once a month (usually), we set up little talks with people who have something interesting to share about peace and conflict. Think TED Talk, but locally.
Under the name of Pax Talks, we invite people from different strands of peace and conflict to tell and/or show us about their experiences. If you can think of a person, yourself included, who would want to share their story or a small part of it, come to us in the board and we'll do our best to make it happen.

My-dentity Part I
It feels like a cross to bear, not quite fitting into one religious tradition or Christian denomination. And it's not only a cross for those within the network of Christian labels and distinction by denominations. No, it's for those who live intra-cultural existences. It's for those who are not only stuck between denominations, nor between religions, but between cultures that express various opinions and traditions towards both.
I feel for intra-racial children. They never quite can feel and be African, nor can they quite be African-American in entirety. It's a confusing label to live in and with, especially when you aren't its creator.
I heard that the Christian faith was supposed to be uncomfortable. Point taken, I understand that the faith is a difficult and humble one to take part in, be transformed by and ultimately learn how to selflessly live out. But does ethnic difference have to further muddy the gray waters? Does rejection from one's own people(s) have to be a part of that "Christian discomfort"? I hope not but I'm afraid so.

Interview with Paul Parey Publishing
Special interest magazines with tradition require continuous development in order to provide customers with new incentives and added value. Not only is it important to overcome any new technical barriers, but also to constantly reflect upon ones values and maintain a constructive exchange of views.
Felix Rietz, Project Manager Sales and Media at Paul Parey Publishing, talked to us about his approach to such issues.
PressMatrix: For most readers, hunting is probably not the first hobby that would spring to mind. So to start off, could you tell us about your special interest magazines and your publishing house?
Felix Rietz: The Paul Parey magazine publisher is the special interest publisher for nature lovers, with our main focus being on hunting and fishing.
Our titles include WILD UND HUND, DEUTSCHE JAGDZEITUNG, JAGEN WELTWEIT, WILDE HUNDE, FISCH&FANG, DER RAUBFISCH and NORWEGEN.
In addition, we publish special issues on various featured topics. Calendars, books, DVDs, CDs and various shopping items such as clothing, shoes, hunting and fishing accessories are also available through the Paul Parey magazine publisher.
PMX: A cursory glance reveals how different your magazines are: Wild und Hund is aimed at very traditional hunters and deals with both hunting culture and policy. The Deutsche Jagdzeitung guides the professional hunter through topics ranging from ammunition to the appropriate outfit. By contrast, Wilde Hunde is aimed at junior hunters and the peppy, eye-catching contributions intend to help them "avoid the hidden pitfalls of hunting practice."* But for the uninitiated it smacks of adventure-seeking, trigger-happy hobby hunters. Is there a consistent philosophy behind all magazines?
FR: The philosophy shared by all magazines is the respectful and responsible treatment of animals and nature in terms of sustainability. The training for prospective hunters isn't called the "green Abitur" for nothing. We are convinced that everyone with a love of the great outdoors harbours a spirit of adventure. In order to serve the different character-types, our magazines also differ in orientation as you correctly noted.
Hunting is not only hobby and sport, but also a profession. Hunters help preserve the forest climate and regulate animal populations.
PMX: Along with your publications for the hunting community, you also cater for fishing enthusiasts with your angling press. Are there also different target groups and philosophies here?
FR: FISCH & FANG is the ever-young classic among fishing magazines and serves all facets of fishing, while DER RAUBFISCH, as the name suggests, clearly targets the predator-fish anglers. Our magazine NORWEGEN is aimed primarily at sea anglers. Here too the philosophy is the responsible treatment of animals and nature.
PMX: Vegan lifestyles and sustainable nutrition are becoming increasingly important in politics and among consumers. To what extent do such debates and issues affect the content of your magazines?
FR: Of course, these debates do not pass us by. Lifestyle and nutrition are discussed controversially everywhere. On the other hand our readers, hunting in their local region, have the decided bonus of their game being a sustainable, very healthy alternative to mass-produced industrial meat. It's procurement does not harm the climate either; in effect the product is nothing other than local organic meat. The suffering endured by animals in mass production facilities – for many vegans and vegetarians a principle motivation for renouncing meat – simply does not apply here.
Just like our Stone Age ancestors throughout the millennia, many contemporary hunters live on the product of their hunt, which means their nutrition is very close to the natural omnivorous diet of human beings. In our magazines, we regularly give tips on preparing wild game to create versatile, delicious meals without much effort.
PMX: In the course of such debates, do you find that your magazine content is met more with approval or with criticism?
FR: In debates with non-hunters a common reaction is: I wasn't aware of that! The non-hunter often experiences this moment of revelation when the discussion turns to the sustainability of meat production through hunting or the population dynamics of individual game species in Germany, a country where the land is almost entirely intensively cultivated.
We are sure that we can significantly increase revenues in the digital sector.
PMX: The Paul Parey publishing house has existed for one hundred and fifty years. How do you lead a traditional magazine like Wild und Hund into the 21st century?
FR: The continuous development of the company and the magazines is essential. The reader must have the opportunity to derive extra value from the magazine. So we offer seminars, e-paper, an online shop and also video in the form of a DVD with hunting contributions. Our goal is to completely meet the needs of our readers and thus enhance their experience of WILD UND HUND.
PMX: Since summer 2017 you've also been offering your publications digitally in two kiosk apps, the hunting press and the fishing press. What was the trigger and the general motivation for the digital editions?
FR: In order to offer our customers a 'one-stop shop', we decided to integrate the marketing of digital subscriptions, issues and articles into the publishing company. This way we can bundle activities and offer an even simpler ordering process.
PMX:Why did you choose PressMatrix for the implementation?
FR: Both the visual appearance and the user-friendly operation were convincing. The backend organisation with Pegasus is also manageable within a short period of time. And when questions arise, the service team responds quickly and helpfully.
PMX: Has this enabled you to reach more readers or even acquire additional revenue?
FR: By bundling our e-papers and other publications, we are reaching more and more readers, while our regular readers are also alerted to the new offer. We are sure that we can significantly increase revenue in the digital sector.
PMX: All magazines are also present on Facebook and Twitter. What role does social media play in your publishing house and publications?
FR: Our presence in social media has become a must. It complements the magazines, providing our readers with the latest news or promotions. Our focus on hunting and fishing has of course prompted the occasional interesting discussion.
PMX: What trends in the publishing or digital sector are you particularly interested in?
FR: The question of the future development of print will be very interesting. From the swan song to a revival, everything is possible. Another crucial question in these times of information overload and dwindling attention is how to bring readers to invest time in our medium.
PMX: Finally, a personal question: Are you yourself a passionate hunter or more the avid angler? And where did your last big (hunting) excursion take you?
FR: I go fishing myself, mostly to the rivers in the surrounding region, i.e. the Middle Rhine and the Lahn. This may not be a "big" trip, but it is definitely always a short break from everyday life.
PMX: Thank you for the interview!

Ben Tardioli (left) and Jason McCoombs (right) go head to head in a C1 200 race-off (photo: Bernard Irvin)
GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA – Canadian sprint paddlers continued racing for selection to the World Cup Tour team for a second day on Lake Lanier in Gainesville, Georgia. The trials are the first round of selections the World Championships and Pan American Games and these teams will mainly be selected over the course of World Cups.
In a second final of the Men's C1 200, Jason McCoombs of Dartmouth, NS came out on top. Ben Tardioli of Ottawa, ON was second and as the winner of the first Men's C1 200 final yesterday was up for a race-off with McCoombs. The same race-off scenario played out last year at the first set of Trials in Georgia and this year McCoombs prevailed. This gives McCoombs the first win for Trials 1 and the two will likely battle it out at World Cups for selection to the World Championships and Pan American Games teams.
Ben Russell (Dartmouth, NS) and Gabriel Beauchesne-Sévigny (Trois-Rivières, QC) won the Men's C2 1000. This is their first of two wins needed to secure the spot for World Championships and Pan American Games. Russell and Beauchesne-Sévigny placed fourth the last two years at World Championships and have been in strong medal contention at the World level.

Genevieve Orton (Lake Echo, NS) and Una Lounder (Dartmouth, NS) won the Women's K2 500. Crew selection for the Women's K2 and K4 will also be determined over the course of World Cups.

Michelle Russell (photo: Bernard Irvin)
Hugues Fournel of Montréal, QC won a second Men's K1 200 final which took place for K2 200 assessment purposes. Mark de Jonge of Halifax, NS did not race the second Men's K1 200 final today.
