CALICUT — Islahiya College Chennamangallur has been playing a significant role in the socio-cultural and educational progress of Muslims in the south Indian state of Kerala over the past 65 years, producing highly capable and knowledgeable scholars proficient in religious as well as material subjects.
Vice Chancellor of Calicut University Dr. K. Mohammed Basheer emphasized the commendable role being played by Islahiya College and its sister institutions in imparting much-needed moral education to students.
"Such an education is essential in modern times when students are unaware of their social commitment and their moral duty to uphold truth and justice," Basheer said after unveiling the logo of Islahiya College Chennamangallur Old Students Association (ICCOSA) during a function at Asma Tower in Calicut.
He also announced the date (Jan. 27, 2018) to hold ICCOSA's first largescale gathering with the participation all Alumni members of Islahiya College.
"Islam stands for justice. Even its fundamental principle of Thouheed or monotheism is based on justice as God alone deserves worship and prayers," the vice chancellor said in his keynote speech. "I am happy to learn Islahiya institutions and students stand for truth and justice. This is the need of the hour," he added.
Basheer called upon students and parents to confront moral degradation by setting good examples through their lives. "The decrease in such examples obstructs the realization of the prime objectives of education," he said, adding that education should promote warm and harmonious human relations.
O. Abdurrahman, president of Islahiya Association and group editor of Madhyamam and Mediaone, presided over the function. He said Islahiya's Vision 2040 aims to overhaul the Islamic education system incorporating global best practices.
Five new institutes will be established under the vision: Institute of Theology and Ethics, Institute of International Languages, Institute of Business & Management, Institute of Law & Journalism and Institute of Sport Sciences. The vision and its projects will be unveiled during the Alumni summit.
The beautiful blending of arts and Islamic subjects makes the courses at Islahiya attractive and impressive. "Islahiya is proud of its contributions in enhancing the quality of religious education in Kerala over the past decades," the president said.
He highlighted the association's bold educational experiments including introduction of Islamic education for Muslim women. "Molding a socially committed vibrant generation is our first and foremost objective," said Abdurrahman, who is also a member of the over 5,000-strong Islahiya Alumni.
The president highlighted the association's endeavors to impart Islamic education to the young generation. "Our organization has been successful in experimenting novel educational programs such as the Arts and Islamics Course (AIC). We were the first to introduce women's Islamic education by setting up Madrassathul Banath," he told Saudi Gazette.
The AIC, which was the brainchild of K.C. Abdullah Moulavi — a reformer and former president of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind in Kerala, was the first such program in India. Many other educational institutions have later introduced this program that enabled graduates to present Islam in the language of modern era. AIC students appear for Calicut University exams to obtain degrees in Economics, Commerce and English language.
During the past 60 years, more than 5,000 graduates have passed out from Islahiya College and these graduates have been making key contributions in various vistas of life in India and abroad. Many of them work in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman. The college has produced a large number of teachers, managers, advocates, politicians and media persons.
Abdurrahman, a prominent media person, expressed his optimism about ICCOSA and its Jan. 27 meet that would bring together graduates of Islahiya College and its sister institutions. "We believe that the Alumni meet would be a landmark event in the whole history of Islahiya Association," he added.
Professor K.P. Kamaluddin, former principal of Islahiya, spoke highly about the college and its achievements. M.P. Shaijal, the munsif magistrate in Palakkad and an Alumni member, decried the deterioration of moral values among the educated community. "I have seen ordinary laborers showing better human qualities than some of our engineers and doctors. This is a big challenge for our education system," he added.
Ever since its inception, the Islahiya Group of institutions has been endeavoring relentlessly to reach out to the society. "The academic ambience at Islahiya encourages students to acquire new skills and knowledge and develop their overall personality," said Principal O. Safarullah, also an Alumni member.
The principal highlighted the college's objectives. "We want to empower students in order to face challenges of the times, intellectually and rationally. Women empowerment in social, cultural and political spheres is another major objective," he said while speaking to Saudi Gazette.
Islahiya seeks to produce a new class of students who will strive for the realization of a society having compassion, mutual respect and tolerance as its hallmarks, said Safarullah. "We provide Islamic education with a modern perspective enabling students to address contemporary issues with confidence," he added.
Dr. Shaheed Ramzan, general secretary of ICCOSA, spoke about his organization's plan to strengthen Islahiya making use of the Alumni members' academic, managerial and financial capabilities and their expertise in various fields. "We expect the support of all ICCOSA members to take our Alma Mater to greater heights of progress and prosperity."

We are currently progressing the roof finishes on our project at a private house in Berkshire. The £1.9m, Listed barn renovation and conversion scheme provides for four semi detached dwellings and associated outbuildings.
Our thatching is progressing well and as can be seen in the photograph, hazel spars are laid in a lattice pattern and held in place with traditional twisted hazel 'pegs'. The horizontal hazel spars are called 'liggers' and the temporary metal pegs are known as 'crooks' to hold the spars in place until the twisted hazel pegs are inserted.

After strenuous activity or a sauna, the skin welcomes revitalisation: Birch Arnica Energising Body Oil`s refreshing scent revives the body and awakens the mind, as nourishing plant extracts join jojoba oil to maintain moisture balance for soft, supple skin.

What can we say! Dr.Hauschka never fails to please us with their biodynamic, beautiful classics! Their longevity reigns with the Rose Day Cream having a cult following and their cleansing regime guaranteed to you leave you feeling both refreshed and revived! Although 'no night cream' is a different concept to most ranges... try it, you might like it!
With both make up and skincare, their products are so good that they rarely have a need to change them, the saying springs to mind, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'! So you won't be confused by their latest colour change updates trying to figure out which product it is that you loved so dearly before. They always remain ahead of the game too with their Toned Day Cream, way ahead of the latest fad of BB and CC creams, Dr. Hauschka are far too classy to release their DD's for the sake of marketing and that's why we love them!
Saying that, they did recently make a teeny update to their classic bath essences but we can forgive them as they have been made even more beautiful. I hear you cry that they were already beautiful but now the Lavender Bath Essence has become Moor Lavender Bath Essence. No, this isn't a typo, they've not added more lavender, but the Moor comes from peat to make the essence more grounding, yet another reason to love Dr. Hauschka!
We recommend their core range, using the Cleansing Milk to remove make up, the Cleansing Cream used with water and the Muslin to give a deep cleanse and slight exfoliation and finish with a spritz of the Facial Toner. For added indulgence, add a drizzle of the Moor Lavender Bath Essence to your sink of warm water when cleansing in the evening to create a spa in your own home for the most restful nights sleep!

Philosophy Of Religion Conference
On Monday 16th November, the A level Religious Studies students attended a Philosophy of Religion Conference at The Guild Hall Conference. They were lucky enough to hear the views of Dr Peter Vardy on the existence of God as a probability. His views were counter-balanced by Heythrop College's Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, Dr. Stephen Law, a self-confessed atheist and Humanist.
The students experienced university style lectures but also had the opportunity to contribute to the debate "This house believes that God is the most probable explanation of the universe as we find it".
The students were able to participate in this debate and we were pleased that Chad Frost Smith made valid contributions. All students received detailed lecture notes that will be beneficial to their examination answers.
A great event and we look forward to the Ethics Conference in February 2016.

Water consumption in the Community of Madrid rose by 7.6 % during the heatwave
Water consumption in the Community of Madrid rose by 7.6 % during the heatwave
Valmayor reservoir
June ended with reservoirs at 68.5 % capacity - 7 points below the average for this time of year
- The first half of 2019 saw the highest consumption since 2012 and figures for June were 14.8 % higher than a year ago
- Canal de Isabel II appeals to consumers to use water responsibly during the summer months
The heatwave at the end of June saw water consumption in the Community of Madrid rise by 7.6 % with respect to the previous week. Alongside this, total demand for water recorded in June also increased by 14.% compared with the same month last year, as a result of low rainfall and high temperatures. For this reason, Canal de Isabel II has called for all consumers to cooperate in ensuring the responsible and efficient use of water, publishing recommendations for saving water on its YouTube channel and website www.canaldeisabelsegunda.es.
The volume of water held in the public company's 13 reservoirs is at 68.5 % capacity, with 645.9 hm3. This is more than 23 points lower than the figure recorded at this time last year and 7 points below the historical average of 75.5 %.
At the same time, rainfall has been extremely scarce, with figures 96.2 % below the historical average of 32.6 litres per square metre, compared to 1.2 at the end of June this year. This lack of rainfall has meant reduced flow to the reservoirs, which have collected 79.5 % less water than the average for the 105-year historical data series used by Canal de Isabel II in its planning models for public supply.
The high temperatures and low rainfall have prompted a rise in water consumption in the Madrid region which has been increasing since February. Consumption figures recorded in the first half of 2019 are the highest since 2012, corresponding to almost 244 hm3, compared to 223 hm3 last year.
The difference in consumption between June 2018 and June 2019 is due to various factors. June 2018 was a rainy month with precipitation 36% higher than average, while temperatures were lower than average during the first half of the month. By contrast, June 2019 was both very dry and warm.
During the last four days of June, the Community of Madrid suffered a heat wave. The average temperature of 31.8 °C was 7.7 degrees higher than the average recorded during the same four days in the week before, while average daily consumption was 7.6 % higher. Between 27 and 30 June, people in Madrid consumed an average of 1.8 cubic hectometres of water per day - equivalent to 20.84 cubic metres of water per
second - compared with 1.67 hm3 per day consumed between 20 and 23 June.
Comparing the end of June 2019 with the same period in 2018, the difference is even greater; consumption was 10.6 % higher than a year ago, when the average temperature was just 24.5 °C.
While the water situation in the Community of Madrid is stable, the increase in consumption, combined with the arrival of the summer months and the uncertainty about rainfall patterns in the next hydrological year have led Canal de Isabel II to appeal to the public for their cooperation in the efficient and responsible use of this natural resource, since every little effort made as part of a large community can help curb this upward trend.
Because of this, within the framework of Line 1 of its Strategic Plan and to help guarantee supply to the population, Canal is implementing actions to raise public awareness about responsible water consumption through its social media and website. Over the next few weeks, an information campaign will be rolled out, focusing on these recommendations. The public water company also works on a permanent basis on actions to enable water conservation, such as boosting the usage of reclaimed water for irrigating green areas and for use in industry, and the annual plans for upgrading the water-pipe network, which has succeeded in reducing the volume of water loss by 70 %.
Canal de Isabel II was founded over 165 years ago to supply water to the city of Madrid. Its more than 2,800 employees work every day to provide services to over 6 million people in the region. An innovative company and a leader in its sector, it has gained international recognition for its integrated water management. The company operates 13 reservoirs, 78 groundwater abstraction systems, a 17,601-kilometre conveyance and distribution networ, 131 pumping stations for drinking water and 133 for waste water, 15,083 kilometres of sewer system networks, 65 storm tanks, 157 waste water treatment plants and a 615-kilometre reclaimed water network.

Mountain Movers Prep Pink Skies
Pretty sure I'm in trouble financially, as it looks like I'll have to stump out more money for Trouble in Mind Records as they announce a new LP from Mountain Movers (I'm ready for the TiM LP Subscription Series). Anyways, the Connecticut outfit brandish a psychedelia like no other; it's a mindfuck of noise rock, filled with screeching guitars and stalking rhythm work. When the vocals enter the picture it's easy to find yourself lost in some noise-induced trance, unable to find an escape, should you need one. They close it all out with a brash display of noisy musicianship, further seducing your ears and mind…you're never getting out. But, should you come out safely on the other side, look for Pink Skies to drop on October 5th.

Transportation will continue to be an important advocacy issue in 2013 for park and recreation agencies and professionals. The New Year brings implementation of a new federal law (MAP-21) as well as a "new Congress."
To keep you ahead of the curve on these issues, we're sharing some insights on transportation.
By now, you should be aware of the major changes impacting walking and biking and parks and recreation under MAP-21. Previously dedicated funding under the Transportation Enhancements (TE) and Safe Routes to School has now been replaced with a much broader category of eligible projects under the Transportation Alternative Program (TAP). Trails and walking/biking safety projects remain eligible, but now must compete for significantly less dollars with other road projects.
This competition isn't simply at the state level, either. MAP-21 gives Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) more responsibility for distributing federal transportation funds. MPOs serving areas with more than 200,000 residents are required to use a competitive process to select projects for funding through the Transportation Alternatives Program.
What's to come with the New T&I Committee
The House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee (T&I) is starting the year with a new Chairman (Bill Shuster of PA) and new members on both the majority and minority side. In a Roll Call column the new committee chair shared his outlook for the new Congress stating that the committee is focused on strengthening America's national transportation network. He also said that "the committee will pursue an aggressive oversight agenda," and that "Oversight of the recently enacted MAP-21 will be critical…"
NRPA's Public Policy staff is actively engaged in meeting with new House and Senate member offices. The new Congress was sworn in on January 3 and most Members are just now selecting staff to handle their committee assignments, but we're making sure that they know NRPA has important issues before the T&I Committee, including walking and biking policy.
What are you views on the new MAP-21 and implications on park and recreation agencies? What do you want to let your Senators and Representatives know about the role parks and recreation has in transportation?
Learn more about federal policy and legislative issues impacting parks and recreation.
Dave Tyahla is NRPA's Senior Government Affairs Manager.

As Jeri Becker's prison sentence stretched from two years to 24, her life constrained to a cell and a prison yard, she made a vow that when she got out, if she got out, she would live in a cabin by the water. Now, seven years after being paroled, Becker lives in a little house near the Russian River. She makes art. She writes. She talks to her best friend and ex-cellmate Vonda White on the phone everyday.
But it's not all fairy-tale ending for the "model prisoner," the one that trial judge Warren E. McGuire described as the "most successful rehabilitation" he had ever come across.
It's been two years since Becker has been able to work, when a workplace injury ended her waitressing career. "I've been through enough in this life," says 60-year-old Becker, tugging at the brim of a floppy sun hat at the wooden picnic tables outside Carr's Drive-In in Forestville. Since the injury in 2009, Becker has maxed out her credit cards and struggles to teach the art classes that once supplemented her income, her right arm virtually useless despite two operations.
The story of her incarceration—and her struggles since—begins in 1980. That's when Becker, 26 years old and addicted to heroin, got stiffed during a drug deal gone bad. The dealer had run off to a Sausalito houseboat with her money. Becker brought a guy named "Mario" back to the houseboat to try to get the money back. It turned out that Mario was really Bruce Cerny, a drug addict from Queens, and that he had a gun with him.
A struggle ensued, ending when Cerny fatally shot drug dealer Rickey Caponio. Becker, who never actually held the gun, was convicted of first-degree homicide with willful intent.
In court, a psychiatrist had testified that Becker masterminded the murder, even as that theory was later disproved by witness testimonies. "I had very poor representation," says Becker. "Going through the courtroom trial is the worst thing you can imagine. It's like theater. The best team wins."
She began her prison sentence soon after. "It took me two years to realize I wasn't in the Twilight Zone," says Becker, with a resigned smile. She counted on a relatively quick parole, but when that didn't happen, the former drug addict threw herself into the task of making life bearable. "To say I kept busy in prison," she says, "would be an understatement."
Becker created a 12-step program, wrote letters and taught arts and crafts in the AIDS ward. After writing an article about prisons having grown so overcrowded that women were using bean cans for toilets, she became known as the "toilet queen." She founded a peer-counseling program with the help of Vonda White. Becker was lauded by everyone from the prison chaplain to McGuire, her sentencing judge, as a "model prisoner."
"Time stops when you are in prison," says Becker now. "You leave this culture. You leave this society. And you either allow yourself to be where you are or you go crazy or you die."
But this rehabilitation wasn't enough for California governor Gray Davis—in the throes of cronyism with the California Correctional Peace Officer's Association—who denied Becker's parole each time it came up for review, beginning in 1997. She wasn't alone. Davis approved only nine of 374 potential parolees during his tenure. It wasn't until Gov. Schwarzenegger took office that Becker was finally approved for release in 2004.
Considering that 58 percent of female ex-inmates returned to prison in 2010, Becker did well after leaving the California Institution for Women in Corona, Calif. She worked two jobs, saved money and bought a car. She made art in earnest—intricate gourds painted with peacocks and dragons, a skill she taught at the local community center. In her free time, she volunteered at a homeless shelter and did yoga. She started going by her maiden name after realizing that Googling the phrase "Jeri Becker" brought up many hits—not all of them flattering. "Killer to be freed after 23 years," reads one San Francisco Chronicle headline.
"The name was like the Scarlet Letter," Becker says. "Not because of me, but because of people's inherent prejudice against people who were in prison."
But the damage to her arm has made the last few months difficult. She says that she has "got by on the skin of my teeth." Recently, literary magazine The Sun printed a letter from Becker, who was introduced by editor Sy Syfransky as a "long-time reader and friend" of the magazine. In it, she explicitly asks for help, saying she is "haunted day and night" by debts she cannot pay.
"The response has been phenomenal," says Becker. "For people to be moved by something and act on it says something for humanity. We're not in such bad shape." Still, Becker says, sitting before a small pile of photographs of her art, she'd like to get back to the art and the teaching that got her through the long, dark night that was prison.
"The very best posture you can do," she says, "is stand on your own two feet."

My lifestyle is all about clean eating; enjoying fresh, whole and organic foods – not processed foods with ingredients you can't pronounce. It's about eating what makes you feel good. It's not about eating bowls of kale every day because you've heard it's good for you. And it's not about being skinny. That's not what being healthy is about. Being healthy IS about balance and happiness. I don't put a label on myself; I'm not vegan or vegetarian or paleo. I eat what my body wants and what feels good, obviously steering clear of processed foods and incorporating lots of healthy fats in every meal along with protein and fiber. I eat clean because of my chronic health story and because my body reacts severely if I accidentally eat foods that don't agree with me such as gluten, dairy, sugar and soy. When I removed these foods and starting eating organic, I felt amazing. It's incredible what happens and how your perspective on life changes when you go through such a traumatic health experience alone. Eating clean can be very simple and it can be done with just a few minor changes.
Through my website, TheHealthyApple.com I write about the struggles I've faced the last few years, how I truly healed from a decade of chronic illness and how I work with clients on healthy eating and building back their immune systems. I also help people understand how Integrative Medicine can truly save your life; on my website I list out the tests you can get for internal inflammation that Western Medicine does not run. I also give guidance to clients when they're getting never ending false negatives from Western medicine blood work tests, CT Scans, MRI's, etc. (like I once did).
Was my journey back to health easy? Heck no. Did I miss out on my 20's? Yes but, I don't look at it that way. I learned a lot, quit my corporate job and now I am living my dream- my passion. My goal is to help others who are frustrated and exhausted with Western medicine and can't get a diagnosis or are on pharmaceutical drugs to mask the symptoms and pain.
My goal is to let you know that I'm living proof you can heal. There is hope. There is an answer. Just breathe and remember to keep fighting until you get an answer because your answer IS out there.
Here's a simple easy summer recipe that is full of antioxidants and can be tossed together in under 20 minutes. It's perfect for an afternoon lunch or a side dish for dinner. Enjoy!

Inmarsat has officially launched its Fleet Secure cyber security service, which has been constructed and delivered in partnership with Singtel and Trustwave, at its UK headquarters as part of London International Shipping Week.
Fleet Secure will provide customers with a 24/7 monitoring, consultancy and response provision, with four key components.
Via Trustwave, Inmarsat will facilitate round-the-clock connectivity to participating superyachts, which ensures real-time monitoring of any anomalies or potential attacks.
This has been referred to as 'cyber risk visibility', which equates to real-time threat monitoring, analysis and expert mitigation guidance, which the company says has 'never happened before'.
The key value propositions are that both the bandwidth provision, and associated costs, will be shouldered by Inmarsat, with no impact on the vessel's allowance, and incorporated into the Fleet Xpress package without the need for any additional hardware.
Speaking at the London event, Peter Broadhurst, Senior Vice President of Safety & Security explained that, in a recently commissioned independent study, 44 per cent of respondents believed their vessels' defences were not sufficient. Furthermore, an alarming 39 per cent had been the victim of some level of cyber attack in the last 12 months.
Citing the vulnerability human error on board can trigger in a vessel's cyber defences, "The majority of crew are unaware of how greatly they compromise security; it's about awareness and training. You really have to follow up to make sure people [are following best practice]."
When quizzed about clause 380, which excludes cyber attacks from maritime insurance contracts, and has left many in the industry concerned owners are leaving themselves unnecessarily exposed, Broadhurst intimated that Fleet Secure was the sort of best practice that could potentially underwrite cyber security in the future.
With yacht crew bringing more and more devices on board, with huge quantities of unlicensed content, a yacht's cyber security is frequently compromised. But, for this nascent paradigm, there is a need for education and infrastructure. "If we can get to the point where we achieve an ISO or IMO standard, we will be able to get to the point where we have crew with cyber training certificates. And we need to get there as quickly as possible."
Inmarsat also used the event to allude to the launch of its new Fleet Broadband service in 2018, and then the launch of the I6 satellite constellation in 2019/2020. A single satellite of this L-band/Ka-band hybrid system will be more powerful than the entire I4 and I5 constellations.

Amie Landry is an artist/animator on ZPOC and she has been designing the world of ZPOC….
The theme of this room's prefab was ransacked. After I decided that I would make the room a child's room, I thought of what kids would do while their parents ran around collecting what they needed. I pictured the parents explaining to their children what was happening in a very gentle, endearing way. I imagined the parents saying that monsters were coming to their home and eating it up, which is why they had to leave and couldn't come back. I then thought of how children might relate "monster" to the monsters that haunted the darkest parts of their room. So I placed a box of toys in front of the door leading outside to reflect the innocence of children's imagination. That a simple box of toys might be able to fend off the monsters and keep their house safe.

Despite the increasing popularity of movements like #FreeTheNipple, laws regarding bare breasts vary from country to country; if you're a resident of the United States, they even change from state to state. As a result, many women are stuck wondering where it's legal to go topless — and, more importantly, where it isn't. Forgoing a shirt may seem like a relatively innocuous act, especially considering men get to walk around bare-chested pretty much everywhere, but the consequences of violating public decency laws can be serious: Even in 2015, women have been fined, arrested, jailed, and beaten within an inch of their lives for daring to bare their breasts in public. Next time someone says women don't need feminism anymore, feel free to cite those examples loudly and often.
If you're thinking that the obsession with censoring women's nipples is an overreaction at best and totally insane at worst, you're hardly the only one. Critics often cite the double standards inherent in censorship laws, namely that men are allowed to doff their shirts willy-nilly while women are expected to cover up for Reasons, aka society's sexualization of secondary sexual characteristics. To highlight the absurdity of this double standard, researchers at ClinicCompare compared laws regarding female nudity to legislation of firearms around the world. Although guns are much more likely to kill someone than the sight of a nipple, the study found that many countries uphold laws making breasts a criminal offence.
"Many countries on this list have had a long history of gun crime and yet going topless is considered a far greater misdemeanor and bears a significantly harsher punishment, despite the fact that the presence of breasts has caused very few deaths in recent years," Sheena Patel said in a press release provided to Bustle. Can we also take a second to appreciate that impressive display of sarcasm? Amazing.
The study listed ten countries in which it is totally legal to carry a firearm, but baring your breasts is a criminal offence worthy of all kinds of penalties. Take a look at the list below:
1. Iraq
Penalty: Imprisoned, beaten, humiliated, and fined, and their husbands might be punished.
2. Syria
Penalty: Imprisoned, beaten, humiliated, and fined, and their husbands might be punished.
3. Sudan
Penalty: Up to 50 lashings (if a woman wears trousers or doesn't wear a headscarf).
4. Morocco
Penalty: Up to two years imprisonment or expulsion.
5. United Arab Emirates
Penalty: No less than six months imprisonment.
6. Pakistan
Penalty: Imprisonment for up to six months and/or fine up to 200 rupees.
7. Iceland
Penalty: Six month imprisonment or fine.
(Et tu, Iceland??)
8. Ireland
Penalty: Ireland A fine of up to €634.87 or six months imprisonment.
9. Singapore
Penalty: Up to 90 days in jail or $2,000 (SGD $934.31) in fines.
10. Brazil
Penalty: Imprisonment from three months up to a year or a fine.
Luckily, women aren't just sitting around accepting their fate. Projects like #FreeTheNipple, the Ta Ta Top, and my personal favorite, Do I Have Boobs Now?, all call for an end to the censorship of women's bodies. Clearly, we have a long road ahead of us — but considering the ever-growing support for the cause, the end might come sooner than we think.

What is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become fragile and brittle, leading to a higher risk of fractures (breaks or cracks) than in normal bone. Osteroposis occurs when bones lose minerals, such as calcium, more quickly than the body can replace them, leading to a loss of bone thickness (bone mass or density). As a result, bones become thinner or less dense, so that even a minor bump or accident can casue serious fractures.
Every 5-6 minutes, someone is admitted to an Australian hospital with an osteoporotic fracture. This is expected to rise every 3-4 mintues by the year 2021, as the population ages and the number of osteoporotic fractures increase.
1 in 2 women and 1 in 3 men over 60 years will have an osteoporotic fracture in Australia. Our nation's bone health is worse than expected, with almost one-in-three* (29.2 per cent) Australians living with brittle bones, and many unaware of the contributing risk factors, according to two independent studies released today.
According to Suzanne Murphy, a nutrition scientist at UC Berkeley, the best source of calcium is a healthy diet. "Supplement pills are a last resort. Taking too much calcium in supplement form can be unpleasant or even dangerous, leading to nausea, gas or even kidney damage," says Murphy. She further recommends whole food nutrition because "calcium-rich foods taste great and help in preventing and reversing heart disease, cancer and dementia as well." Another good reason to get your calcium from food rather than supplements is a decreased risk for kidney stones.
What tops the list of bone-building nutrition sources?
Dairy products top the list, as you know, but leafy greens are a calcium-rich food source that is lower in fat and calories. Collards, kale, dandelion, turnip greens and Bok Choy are great additions to whole juice drinks, soups and salads. If these vegetables sound unfamiliar and you are hesitant to try them, take baby steps. The Vitamix machine makes it easy to start adding them to your whole food meals a little at a time. Another bone-building food source is whole grains like brown rice, millet, barley, buckwheat, quinoa and spelt. The Vitamix comes with some great recipes using whole grains-and these grains are great for adding to leafy green side dishes double-duty calcium and crunchy texture..
New Australian research revealing the truth about our bones
New findings from the Geelong Osteoporosis Study, just published in the Medical Journal of Australia, for the first time provide a wake-up call on the magnitude of osteoporosis in Australia. The study reveals the disease is more widespread than previously thought with a 1.2 million affected by osteoporosis and a startling 5.4 million people with low bone density also known as 'osteopaenia' (a potential precursor to osteoporosis). A separate GP and Consumer Tracking Study, commissioned by Osteoporosis Australia, also reveals GPs are not always investigating at-risk patients and patients are not fully aware of the risks of their bone health.

Exactly twenty-six years and five months ago, at the end of a hot and dusty Connecticut summer, in a time of desperation the likes of which I can now barely describe, I committed a heinous crime.
I stole from a public library.
Let me explain. I was 10 years old. I had a bad case of swimmer's ear, which meant I couldn't go in the neighborhood pool. For the first time in my life, all I could do is read. And the book that ignited my imagination was "Gentle Ben," Walt Morey's classic story about a boy and his pet grizzly bear.
I think of "Gentle Ben" often these days, every time I read about another library having to slash its budget, eliminate staff or close down branches. It makes me wonder if some kid out there is going to lose a chance to find his own "Gentle Ben," a book that fuels a lifelong love of written words.
There's no question this is a discouraging time for libraries, those who value them and those who work in them. Across the country, library budgets are being assaulted, and not just with the kind of single-digit cuts that can be swallowed by bumping down the thermostat a few degrees. These are major, double-digit hacks.
I got an e-mail last month from a dear librarian friend of mine talking about just how devastating it's been. She's the director of a large library system in New Jersey and she catalogued her list of woes – having to fire dozens of employees, putting her entire staff on rotating furlough, closing down branches.
But the really heartbreaking part of the e-mail was when she talked about her fear of what might come next, how paralyzing the uncertainty was, and how she felt like it was interfering with how well she could do her job.
And, believe me, I understand how that feels. I know what it's like to see good friends and valued colleagues walk out the door because no one wants to pay their salaries anymore; to live with the anxiety of knowing the worst might not be over; to feel like you are failing a public that put its trust in you to deliver something so vital to Democracy.
I know, because I used to be a newspaper reporter.
And, yeah, I let it get to me. It got to everyone at times. Newsroom morale was in the tank. We walked around like zombies half the time. We consumed endless energy speculating when the next staff cut or pay cut was coming. It was depressing and debilitating.
So it's hard to watch the public library, this institution I value so much, go through its own bloodletting.
I'm not here to opine about how wrong it is from a policy standpoint (though, unquestionably, it is). I'm not here to debate the wisdom of savings pennies at the library when there are still twenties and fifties to be saved elsewhere (though, really, libraries are such a slim portion of municipal spending, can't you balance your budget somewhere else?). I'm not even here to point out that the library is the one public amenity that serves absolutely everyone in a community (though it does).
I'm here to say to all you library scientists out there:
Don't give up.
Don't let it get to you.
Don't be discouraged.
We need you. Now more than ever. Many of our most cherished American ideals – like the concept that a poor, mixed-race kid could grow up to be President – are predicated on the notion that knowledge is available to all, not just those wealthy and privileged enough to afford Kindles and trips to Barnes & Noble.
And, yeah, it's easy to get dragged down in the gloom. But if I learned one thing from watching a newspaper melt down around me, it's that you can also make the choice not to get derailed by it. You can realize you're still fortunate enough to do a fulfilling job, a profession that you (and a whole lot of other people) really value, whether they remember to stop and take the time to say it or not.
For me, I worked hard to find satisfaction in putting a well-written story in the newspaper, something that touched people, exposed a wrong, or made the world better in some small way. Those kinds of victories are always out there to be found. You just have to remember to look for them and hold onto them.
Think back to why you became a librarian. Was it because the duly elected knuckleheads on the town council would show the wisdom to keep your funding at an appropriate level? Was it because of some action in the state legislature? Of course not. It's because you love books and connecting readers to the wisdom and wonder that lies inside of them.
It's because somewhere out there, there's a kid looking for his own "Gentle Ben." Please help him find it.
Just make sure he returns it.

Public works (or internal improvements historically in the United States)[1][2][3] are a broad category of infrastructure projects, financed and constructed by the government, for recreational, employment, and health and safety uses in the greater community. They include public buildings (municipal buildings, schools, hospitals), transport infrastructure (roads, railroads, bridges, pipelines, canals, ports, airports), public spaces (public squares, parks, beaches), public services (water supply, sewage, electrical grid, dams), and other, usually long-term, physical assets and facilities. Though often interchangeable with public infrastructure and public capital, public works does not necessarily carry an economic component, thereby being a broader term.
Public works is a multi-dimensional concept in economics and politics, touching on multiple arenas including: recreation (parks, beaches), aesthetics (trees, green space), economy (goods and people movement, energy), law (police and courts), and neighborhood (community centers, social services buildings). Essentially, it represents any constructed object that augments a nation's physical infrastructure.
Municipal infrastructure, urban infrastructure, and rural development usually represent the same concept but imply either large cities or developing nations' concerns respectively. The terms public infrastructure or critical infrastructure are at times used interchangeably. However, critical infrastructure includes public works (dams, waste water systems, bridges, etc.) as well as facilities like hospitals, banks, and telecommunications systems and views them from a national security viewpoint and the impact on the community that the loss of such facilities would entail.
Furthermore, the term public works has recently been expanded to include digital public infrastructure projects. The first (US) nationwide digital public works project is an effort to create an open source software platform for e-voting (created and managed by the OSDV).[4]
Reflecting increased concern with sustainability, urban ecology and quality of life, efforts to move towards sustainable municipal infrastructure are common in developed nations, especially in European Union and Canada (where the FCM InfraGuide provides an officially mandated best practice exchange to move municipalities in this direction).
A public employment programme (PEP)' or 'public works programme (PWP)' is the provision of employment by the creation of predominantly public goods at a prescribed wage for those unable to find alternative employment. This functions as a form of social safety net. PWPs are activities which entail the payment of a wage (in cash or in kind) by the state, or by an Agent (or cash-for work/CFW). One particular form of public works, that of offering a short-term period of employment, has come to dominate practice, particularly in regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa. Applied in the short term, this is appropriate as a response to transient shocks and acute labour market crises.[5]
Investing in public works projects in order to stimulate the general economy has been a popular policy measure since the economic crisis of the 1930s. More recent examples are the 2008-2009 Chinese economic stimulus program, the 2008 European Union stimulus plan, and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
While it is argued that capital investment in public works can be used to reduce unemployment, opponents of internal improvement programs argue that such projects should be undertaken by the private sector, and not the public sector, because public works projects are characteristic of socialism. However, in the private sector, entrepreneurs bear their own losses and so private sector firms are generally unwilling to undertake projects that could result in losses or would not develop a revenue stream. Governments will invest in public works because of the overall benefit to society when there is a lack of private sector benefit (a project that will not generate revenue) or the risk is too great for a private company to accept on its own.
According to research conducted at the Aalborg University, 86% of public works projects end up with cost overruns. Some unexpected findings of the research were that:
Generally contracts awarded by public tenders will include a provision for unexpected expenses (i.e. cost overruns), that typically amount to 10% of the value of the contract. This money is only spent during the course of the project if the construction managers judge that it is necessary, and typically the expenditure must be justified in writing.

Bolt action snipers are dead
kur4o posted a topic in SuggestionsThere are a lot of problems regarding the using of bolt action snipers (BAS) due to its inefficacy to kill. First of all, considering that all the BAS are highly punishable when missing a shot, you should be able to kill a person in the thorax depending on the ammo that you are carrying. When I state that BAS are highly punishable I'm referring that when missing a shot you have to wait until taking another shot, in some cases taking the sight away from ADS. This means that if you don't kill your target you are risking being spotted, the person you are shooting the possibility to hide, being killed, etc. Since a few patches the damage of 7.62x54 rounds have been reduced considerably. On top of that, the price of the Mosin has been increased and its accuracy reduced. This means that if you don't hit a headshot using both 7.62x51 or 7.62x54 rounds you can't one-shot anybody. This means that the BAS are unviable both for skilled players and unskilled ones because if you are attempting a long shot and you miscalculated a centimetre you won't one-shot your target. I'm not stating that BAS should kill in the chest every time, I'm saying that you should have the possibility depending on the ammo you are using. On the current state there is little to no difference on the ammo that you are carrying, especially when using 7.62x54 rounds. Due to the highly punishing disadvantages that present the BAS there must be a way, depending on the ammo that you I understand that there are other weapons, especially in the 7.62x51 rounds, that aren't bolt action, that is why I think there must be a counterbalance in its price and in the ammo price. For instance, 7N1 should kill anyone using a Tier 4 armour in the chest but also should cost much more. Nowadays you are pushed to choose a DMR over a BAS because, frankly there is little to no advantage in using a BAS. I hope you understand my point of view. I love this game and I don't want it to rot away like many others, I think this will improve it. Kind Regards, Kur4o
Can't put 3.5 on mosin
VirAle posted a topic in Game questionsIs is a bug? i can't put 3.5x on my mosin. helppppppp
Simple fix to make the Mosin not wasting bullet when reloading
-Nil- posted a topic in SuggestionsHi there and 1000 thanks for this fantastic game! With the Mosin , if can shoot without recycling the bolt by holding left click mouse. During this hold down, why not giving the possibility to reload so the ejecting bullet is empty one? No more ammunition wasted with this simple trick What do yo guys think?
My Suggestions for the Mosin
Arth0u posted a topic in SuggestionsNow let me get this out of the way. I love Tarkov and I appreciate the hard work that Battlestate is putting into their game, this post reflects my thoughts on the Mosin and the backlash surrounding it. I believe that the Mosin is perfectly balanced as it was first implomented. Due to the lowering frequency of wipes we're experiencing a sort of power curve crisis. New players stand no chance against long time players with high level gear. The Mosin is a perfect bridge between the demographic of new players and the heavily geared ones. Older players should run the risk of losing their gear always and play by skill and not by said gear. Of course we could go back to the wipe system but I believe introducing balancers like the Mosin are a more streamlined and fair approach.
Extended Mosin Mags/Slings
Scionti posted a topic in SuggestionsJust a few more random things i'd like to see implemented. I've known about these mosin mags for years (Howling Raven is poo, and the Heartland one doubles as a grip of sorts) - yet I never knew about muzzlebreaks for them irl. Anyways, I'd like to see those Added. Slings too would be cool to steady your rifle more when standing shooting, etc. (Helps alot irl actually) Attached are the photos of the brands.
Lps_Gzh is still a probleme
lllPug posted a topic in SuggestionsThe fact that the Scav and lvl1 player can one shot you in the thorax with the f ing mosin if you dont wear a Lvl5 armor is so frustrating, especially on factory when a Scav or mosinman with no armor geting close to you and just put there barrel on your chest and oneshot you even so you have an automatic weapon. Every time I hear or see a mosin I just leave cuz it s not worth the high risk of loosing all my armor point or die if I have a lvl4 or lower.
mosin quality of life
Stiffano posted a topic in SuggestionsWhen you reload the mosin nagant you extract the bullet in the chamber and it falls on the ground. It would be nice if your character wrapped hes left hand underneath the gun and covered the chamber with hes fingers to prevent the bullet from flying off and then push it back in to the magazine. And while writing this I realized it would be cool if you could reload the gun with stripper clips if it is empty. Well actually, that might just clutter up your inventory.

550 meter headshot
DTox_11th posted a topic in Fan artHey guys, Yesterday I played a Woods game as Scav and decided to pretty much camp the logging camp for PMC's since I loaded in with a Mosin. What followed was a kill at 550 meter! Made a simple edit, showing where I shot my victim from, and a confirmation through the dogtag. Original vid was like 15 minutes long but I dont want to bother you guys with that so I trimmed it down to roughly 5 minutes.

Mosin Nagant / Budget Rifles Balance
glhf116 posted a topic in Game questionsHello fellow escapers, I'm a bit new to posting, so forgive me if this is in the wrong thread. Personally, I have been craving a budget marksman rifle for a while now, and after watching one of the BSG "developer diary" videos, I squealed when I saw the VPO-111, a bolt action hunting rifle chambered in 7.62 x54R. Of course, the Mosin has been confirmed to come soon™. However, in real-world prices, the Mosin has recently seen average prices of around $150 - $800, from what I've seen. It's hard to balance an effective rifle, while being cost-effective, so level 5 newbies can't just run into a raid and one shot armored and well-equipped opponents. How do you guys think we should balance these new rifles coming in? I'd love a cheap bolt-action rifle (like the Mosin), but having it balanced. Perhaps the Mosin, while being cheap, should be locked behind quests? Maybe a lengthy bolt animation or limited round capacity? I don't know. I'd love to hear some suggestions!

This is one of the easier Proteas to grow in the UK, tolerating sandy to clay soils and frosts to -5°C. It is a nice upright shrub with tough leathery leaves and beautiful cone shaped flowers about 15cm wide. The flowers come in shades of pink to red depending on the individual seed. Flowers come out from June to August in the UK. The flowers are long lasting on the plant and great as a cut flower. Plants grow up to about 2.5m.
Protea repens prefers a well drained sandy and acidic soil with low phosphate levels. A sunny spot is best,which is sheltered against frost. They can be grown outdoors in a sheltered spot in the South of England, but otherwise best in pots that are overwintered in a well ventilated greenhouse.
Pack of 8 seeds. Sow in autumn or spring. Seeds need to be soaked for 24hrs before sowing, preferably in a smoke primer solution. Flowering starts in years 4 and 5. Sowing instructions and a colour photo are printed on the packet.
See how your seeds are packed.
Sow in spring or autumn. Soak the seeds for 24 hours in warm water, using a smoke primer disc. After soaking, sow the seeds in a tray of moist well drained seed compost. Cover with 1cm of dry clean sand and keep at 15-18°C. Let temperatures drop at night. Germination takes 3-4 weeks, and up to 3 months in cooler conditions. Move the seedlings to pots when big enough to handle.
Plant out in nutrient poor acidic sandy soil. Protect from frosts. Plants grow well in large pots in a well ventilated conservatory. Feed occasionally with phosphate-free fertilizer. Cut deadflower stems to ground level after flowering. Cut 1/3rd of woodier stems back to ground level after flowering. Frosted plants may recover when the weather improves by sending out new shoots from ground level.
