When the old makes room for the new.
S&A housing reform project consisting of 90m² of useful space capable of integrating: 3 bedrooms, study, living room, bathroom and kitchen.
The preexisting analysis revealed a self-construction dwelling in the rural area, executed in different phases, with poor installations and practically no insulation. Together with this problem, the distribution of the rooms, conditioned by the existing wall structure, did not meet 100% with the program requirements desired by the clients.
One of the objectives of the project was to achieve the highest possible comfort, both thermal and functional; at the same time that we were dealing with the structure of existing load-bearing walls, which conditioned any diaphanous distribution. It is a challenge. That is why, in order to obtain a feeling of greater breadth and light, it is decided to demolish part of the attics and recover the total height of the house, with a gabled roof, decongesting the rooms and providing them with a scale and personality completely new.
The rooms that conserve the attics are converted into two boxes covered with wooden slats: one runs along the corridor and houses the bathroom, one of the bedrooms and a multipurpose room, while the second, houses the access and helps define the space destined to living room and dining room.
In a nod to the history of housing, from the height of 2.60m, part of its original structure is preserved without plastering, and it is painted white, as is the rest of the walls in order to unite the past with the present.

A customer of the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) wrongly presented a characteristic precious stone as a lab created diamonds, the association said.
The GIA's Carlsbad research facility as of late got the round splendid,lab created diamond 2.23-carat, D-shading jewel, which the client had sent in for Synthetic diamond grading report.
"When a declared synthetic diamond is submitted to a GIA laboratory, it is not often that the diamond turns out to be natural," GIA analytics technician Garrett McElhenny and senior research scientist Sally Eaton-Magaña wrote in the Winter 2018 edition of Gems & Gemology, the organization's quarterly logical diary.
It was easy to mistake the stone for one created using High Pressure-High Temperature (HPHT). It had no clearly visible "strain" under detailed optical inspection — a pattern of lines that is usually absent in HPHT diamonds. The GIA only spotted the feature in a few scattered areas of the diamond following extensive efforts, it said.
"Subsequently, the client indicated that this stone was believed to be synthetic after examination by another party in the trade," McElhenny and Eaton-Magaña reported.
The case proves there can be exceptions to the general guidelines for distinguishing between natural and lab-grown diamonds, the authors added.
"In this case, the correction worked to the client's advantage," they observed.
The sample's setting in the ring restricted us to FTIR spectroscopy in reflection mode to determine its identity. Solid metallic inclusions were revealed under the microscope (figure 2). The specimen displayed strong yellow and moderate greenish yellow fluorescence under long-wave UV and short-wave UV, respectively (figure 3). The inclusions and fluorescence suggested HPHT-grown diamond, which generally shows a stronger fluorescence reaction to short-wave UV than to long-wave UV. The vast majority of HPHT synthetics in the "colorless" range exhibit no detectable fluorescence to long-wave UV (S. Eaton-Magaña et al., "Observations on HPHT-grown synthetic diamonds: A review," Fall 2017 G&G, pp. 262–284), but this one showed strong fluorescence under long-wave UV.
The stone was further examined with DiamondView imaging and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Strong yellowish green fluorescence and blue phosphorescence were observed with the DiamondView, but the growth sector pattern typical of HPHT-grown diamond was not visible because of the stone's size. PL spectroscopy showed nickel-related peaks at 882/884 nm. Based on these results, we concluded that this was an HPHT laboratory-grown diamond.
We later learned that the customer had given the ring to a jewelry repair shop to replace a broken diamond, which may account for the single lab-grown specimen. This is a good example of the need for vigilance in every stage of diamond jewelry making.
The example's setting in the ring limited us to FTIR spectroscopy in reflection mode to decide its character. Strong metallic considerations were uncovered under the magnifying instrument (figure 2). The example showed solid yellow and moderate greenish yellow fluorescence under long-wave UV and short-wave UV, individually (figure 3). The incorporations and fluorescence proposed HPHT-developed precious stone, which for the most part demonstrates a more grounded fluorescence response to short-wave UV than to long-wave UV. Most by far of HPHT synthetics in the "dull" go display no perceptible fluorescence to long-wave UV (S. Eaton-Magaña et al., "Perceptions on HPHT-developed engineered precious stones: A survey," Fall 2017 G&G, pp. 262– 284), however this one demonstrated solid fluorescence under long-wave UV.
The stone was additionally analyzed with DiamondView imaging and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Solid yellowish green fluorescence and blue glow were seen with the DiamondView, yet the development segment design common of HPHT-developed precious stone was not unmistakable due to the stone's size. PL spectroscopy indicated nickel-related tops at 882/884 nm. In view of these outcomes, we inferred this was a HPHT research facility developed precious stone.
We later discovered that the client had given the ring to an adornments fix shop to supplant a broken precious stone, which may represent the single lab-developed example. This is a genuine case of the requirement for cautiousness in each phase of precious stone adornments making.
The hardness of precious stone and its high scattering of light—giving the jewel its trademark "fire"— make it helpful for modern applications and attractive as gems. Precious stones are such a very exchanged ware, that different associations have been made for evaluating and ensuring them dependent on the "four Cs", which are shading, cut, clearness, and carat. Different qualities, for example, nearness or absence of fluorescence, likewise influence the attractive quality and in this manner the estimation of a precious stone utilized for adornments.
Precious stones are utilized in wedding bands. The training is reported among European privileged as ahead of schedule as the fifteenth century, however ruby and sapphire were progressively attractive gemstones. The cutting edge prevalence of precious stones was to a great extent made by De Beers Consolidated Mines Ltd., which built up the principal huge scale jewels mines in South Africa. Through a promoting effort starting during the 1930s and proceeding into the mid-twentieth century, De Beers made precious stones into a key piece of the assurance to be wedded procedure and a desired image of status. The precious stone's high esteem has been the main thrust behind despots and progressive substances, particularly in Africa, utilizing slave and kid work to mine blood jewels to subsidize clashes. Despite the fact that famously accepted to get its incentive from its irregularity, pearl quality jewels are very regular contrasted with uncommon gemstones, for example, alexandrite, and yearly worldwide unpleasant precious stone generation is evaluated to be around 130 million carats (26 tons; 29 short tons).[1]
The stone was additionally inspected with DiamondView imaging and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Solid yellowish green fluorescence and blue glow were seen with the DiamondView, however the development area design run of the mill of HPHT-developed precious stone was not obvious on account of the stone's size. PL spectroscopy indicated nickel-related crests at 882/884 nm. In light of these outcomes, we reasoned this was a HPHT research center developed precious stone.
We later discovered that the client had given the ring to a gems fix shop to supplant a broken jewel, which may represent the single lab-developed example. This is a genuine case of the requirement for carefulness in each phase of precious stone gems making.

The Times reported that a study has found that "teens that watch sexual scenes on television are twice as likely to get pregnant". It said the US study looked at pregnancy rates among teenagers and their viewing of shows such as Friends and Sex and the City. The researchers behind the study say they have found a "compelling link between a high exposure to sexual content on television and teen pregnancies."
However, the factors contributing to teenage pregnancy are complex, and it is too simplistic to blame teenage pregnancy on television viewing. In addition, the design of this study means it cannot prove that televised sexual content is responsible for teenage pregnancy.
Where did the story come from?
Dr Anita Chandra and colleagues from RAND Corp (a non-profit research organisation in the USA) carried out this study, which was published in the peer-reviewed medical journal Pediatrics. Sources of funding were not reported for this study.
What kind of scientific study was this?
This was a cohort study which looked at the relationship between teenagers viewing sexual content on television and the likelihood of becoming or making someone pregnant. It analysed data from a national survey of 12 to 17 year-olds in the US with follow-up surveys one and three years later.
For the initial survey, in 2001, researchers telephoned households that were likely to have people aged 12 to 17 living there. The interviewers confirmed whether a young person did live there, and asked if they and their parents would agree to them being surveyed.
A total of 2,003 young people agreed to participate and completed the first survey, and of these 73% completed another survey three years later, when they were aged 15 to 20 years. Young people were encouraged to complete the survey in private. The survey included questions about demographics, social and pyschological characteristics, television watching (amount and content), and sexual behaviour, attitudes and knowledge.
The young people were asked how frequently they watched a selection of 23 programmes popular amongst teenagers during the previous television season, using a four point scale ranging from 'never' to 'every time it was on'. These 23 programmes included sitcoms, dramas, reality shows, animated and live action shows that were shown on a range of channels. The shows were selected as they had high levels of sexual content.
The researchers watched three episodes of each programme and counted how many scenes focused mainly on sexual behaviour (from flirting to intercourse) or talking about sex, and then calculated an average per episode to give an indication of the level of sexual content.
The researchers then calculated how much exposure to sexual content each young person had by multiplying how often they watched a programme by its average sexual content rating, and adding up these values for all 23 shows.
The survey also included questions about whether the young person had ever been pregnant or got anyone else pregnant. If they answered yes to these questions, they were then asked to give the year and month of their most recent pregnancy.
For this current study, researchers selected those young people who provided complete information about their sexual behaviour and pregnancy at the final interview and had reported having begun sexual activity, totalling 718 participants. Five young people had experienced a pregnancy before the first survey, and they were included in the analyses.
The researchers then looked at whether the level of exposure to sexual content on television at the first survey predicted the likelihood of pregnancy during follow-up. The researchers took into account factors that might affect results including the participants' ages, gender, race/ethnicity, academic achievement, whether they reported wanting to have children before age 22, family life, difficult behaviour and parental education level.
What were the results of the study?
A total of 91 participants (around 14%) reported being pregnant, or getting someone pregnant between the first and final survey, three years later. After adjusting for other factors that might affect results, researchers found that young people who were exposed to more sexual content at the time of the first survey were more likely to report a pregnancy.
Based on their findings the researchers estimated that if all young people aged 16 watched a low level of sexual content on TV, 5% would be expected to report a pregnancy by age 19, compared to 12% if they all watched a high level of sexual content on TV.
What interpretations did the researchers draw from these results?
The researchers concluded that their study was the first to show a prospective link between viewing sexual content on television and teenage pregnancy. They suggest that the risk of teen pregnancy could be reduced by "limiting adolescent exposure to the sexual content on television and balancing portrayals of sex in the media with information about possible negative consequences". They also suggest that parents may be able to counteract the effect of sexual content by watching and discussing these programmes with teens.
What does the NHS Knowledge Service make of this study?
This study cannot prove that watching sexual content on television is directly responsible for the pregnancies that occurred. As the authors themselves note, "The factors that contribute to teen pregnancy are complex and interrelated".
Additionally, while this study did collect data in a prospective fashion, there are still a number of limitations:
- Although the authors tried to take into account many of the complex factors known to be related to teen pregnancy these, and other unknown factors, may still have influenced the results of the study.
- It is difficult to fully assess exposure to sexual content on television. The questionnaire used assessed only 23 programmes, which were rated on the basis of three episodes only, and this may not have been representative of the young people's overall viewing or of the content of the selected shows.
- Sexual content was not graded according to the messages contained, and some messages may have been positive (such as the importance of having protected sex).
- This study did not itself look at whether reducing a young person's viewing of sexual content would reduce their likelihood of pregnancy, nor whether accompanying such viewing with parental commentary would have a similar effect, therefore it is not possible to draw conclusions about the effect these actions would have.
- The results rely entirely on teens self-reporting their television viewing, pregnancy status, and other characteristics, without independent validation. This may affect reliability of results.
- This analysis included only individuals who were sexually active by the final survey at age 15 to 20 years. Inclusion of those teens who were not sexually active may have affected results.
- This study was carried out in the US, and so the results may not be representative of what would be found in other countries.
This study provides us with more information about the characteristics of those who experience teenage pregnancy.
The complexity of this issue is enhanced by the fact that the authors report that teenage pregnancy in the US has reduced "remarkably" since 1991, while it seems unlikely that teenage viewing of sexual content on television has similarly decreased in this period.
Teenage pregnancy rates will be affected by a affected by a range of complex social factors, and it is too simplistic to blame television viewing alone. Instead parents, teachers, healthcare professionals, and policy makers should to continue to work together to ensure young people are well educated about sex, the risks of teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.
Sir Muir Gray adds...
It's still unclear whether this is a direct cause or just a sign of the teenagers' interests, but the findings are unsurprising.

For nearly sixty years, TVR produced some of the most thrilling, spine-tingling, hand-built sports cars to emerge from any British motor manufacturer. Yet it welches the period between 1981 and 2004, under the management of Peter Wheeler, when the company finally shook off its shed-built roots and proved that it could produce cars that could match anything from Maranello or Stuttgart in terms of performance, but at a fraction of their price.
Illustrated with over 300 photographs, TVR – Cars of the Peter Wheeler Era tells the story of the design, development and engineering of some of some of TVR's fastest, outrageous and most successful cars, from the retro-styled S1, to the racing Tuscan, 1000bhp Speed Twelve and the gewalttätig Sagaris.

Article by Heather Haugen, PhD from Atos Digital Health Solutions.
I got the call on a Thursday afternoon, an invitation to present at a healthcare conference. I was passionate about the topic. I thought the message would resonate with the audience and would be valuable to our company's growth. It seemed like a recipe for success. The deadline for content had a tight turnaround, so I spent my weekend considering a compelling story and message. I enjoy the process of sharing our research and learning from healthcare leaders- it energizes me.
Then it started. The PowerPoint slides suddenly became the most important deliverable. I started the journey with three collaborators within our organization which quickly grew to more than ten. I received 22 PowerPoint slide decks, totally over 250 slides, and everyone had a slide that MUST be included. Just 3 days before the presentation, I wondered if one of the new medication delivery robots would be more effective delivering my disconnected set of slides. My passion for the subject waned and I had completely lost the original point of view. The message was buried somewhere in the deck. I even tried to create a new message from the current slide deck- a dreadful mistake and luckily that didn't work either.
Fortunately, we did a collective reset on our message, but it wasn't easy to remove content from my colleagues and move away from a more collaborative process. There was significant push back and the deadline had everyone sweating. Here is what concerns me most, earlier in my career I would have stayed the course with the growing slide deck in an effort to be a team player and include the many great ideas. I may have even pretended to understand all the diagrams and cool graphics that landed in my inbox because they were impressive representations of the market, our solutions, and trends in healthcare. The information in all the slides was interesting and often relevant, but it didn't represent a thoughtful compelling story that met the needs of our audience.
I know my experience isn't unique because I regularly attend conference presentations where PowerPoint has clearly drowned out the important message. Healthcare is undergoing a tremendous amount of change and the stakes have never been higher to ensure we deliver value. We must give time back to clinicians, better care to patients, and drive improved outcomes across every healthcare interaction.
If you miss the opportunity to communicate to your board, to healthcare leaders, or to your clients- you rarely get a second opportunity to gain their mindshare. Your most important initiatives deserve clarity, purpose, and passion. This requires thoughtful, strategic, and innovative thinking, not more PowerPoint slides.
PowerPoint is an amazing tool when used effectively to communicate a compelling message. If you need to break the habit of relying too heavily on your slides- consider the following:
- Always define your message first and develop your slides to fit the message.
- Resist the temptation to borrow other people's slides unless you can communicate the message as your own.
- Spend 80% of your planning what to say and 20% of your time creating slides. Way too many of us do the reverse.
- Practice, practice, practice. The audience always knows when you are overly reliant on your slides.
The next time you have something important to say, consider communicating it without PowerPoint, I dare you!

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State's pro day was supposed to be one of the final boxes for NFL teams to check off in their ongoing assessment of quarterback Jameis Winston. And now we're starting to find out exactly how deep that evaluation has gone.
Shadowing Winston – in essence, spying on him – apparently has fit into at least one team's equation.
That revelation comes from Winston's quarterback guru, the highly respected George Whitfield Jr., who ran Winston's passing performance during Tuesday's pro day. According to Whitfield, teams have been very aggressive in their vetting process, including watching Winston when he's least likely to be looking.
"They've staged people," Whitfield said. "Yeah, there are teams that have staged people on different flights he had, just to kind of be in the midst – a fly on the wall. No [Jameis wasn't aware of it], but I had a team official tell me that. They were aware of another team that said they wanted to do that."
How could a team know Winston's flight plan?
"When you go to the [NFL scouting] combine, the league has a flight deal, a flight manifest," Whitfield said.
Of course, this wasn't a total surprise for the camp. Winston's attorney, David Cornwell, said he warned the FSU star and former Heisman Trophy winner that NFL eyes – and the glare of the general public – would consistently be upon him.
"I told him to assume everyone is watching him at all times," Cornwell said. "We've told him that. People will always be watching every single thing he does."
Winston's past issues off the field have been well-documented – to the point that FSU coach Jimbo Fisher went on the radio in Tampa late last week and blamed "newspapers" and "major outlets" for what he called "slanting" reporting to fit an agenda. Regardless of Fisher's opinion, the reality is that there has been no other shoe-drop for Winston.
The issues that dogged him heading into the draft process have remained much the same, or even diminished somewhat as personal questions have turned toward draft evaluations. Whitfield says that's because there is nothing more to find – that NFL teams have culled all there is, and have now moved on to focusing on him as a football player.
"[Teams] have had all last year, all this year," Whitfield said. "[They've used] private eyes. I know people have interviewed his elementary school teachers, bus drivers, team bus drivers, people that gave him rides at the Heisman ceremony. Pilots. … Local restaurants. The lady at the Florida State cafeteria. All that stuff. And hey, if that's what they feel they need to do to ensure themselves so come draft day they can get up on the table for him, then that's what you've got to do."
Certainly the football part of the equation will weigh just as heavily, and Winston has appeared to pass through that relatively unscathed. Florida State's pro day was no different. While there was some chatter about Winston's slightly doughy physical appearance at his weigh in, he actually appeared to be slightly thinner than during his passing session at February's combine in Indianapolis.
His passing performance, on the other hand, might have graded out a tad less impressive, but that's also because Winston had a very strong showing in front of teams in February. He ultimately completed 92 of a whopping 102 passes Tuesday – the most attempts of any recorded quarterback pro day. Of those 10 incompletions, at least five (and arguably six) were flat-out drops by a wideout.
Whitfield said it was Winston who wanted the overloaded passing slate, hoping to dispel questions about his conditioning and perceived shoulder strength.
"Bryce Petty threw 77 a couple weeks ago, and that was the previous largest number [in a pro day]," Whitfield said. "Cam [Newton], [Andrew] Luck and [Johnny] Manziel were all in the mid-60s. It was something he wanted to do. It's a double workout. And then you tack on 35 of the 102 reps, he is being flushed out or chased or threatened or something. One hundred two is a big deal if you just leave him alone – play it safe, drop and throw, drop and throw, drop and throw."
After the session, Winston had come to a conclusion: "I'm the best player in this draft."
At this stage, it's getting hard to find someone who disagrees. Much like the combine, Winston showed very strong velocity on short and intermediate throws, and plenty of arm strength to complete virtually any deep pass on the route tree. His ball placement was erratic on a few passes and a few of the intermediate and deep passes had some wobble (with one dangerously close to being labeled a duck). But for the balance of the day, he showed the wide array of impressive skill and accuracy that moved him into the draft's No. 1 slot back in February.
What was clearly impressive was his overall stamina. Few left the Florida State grounds without a raised eyebrow over the passing workload and Winston's consistently strong arm right up to the end of the session. When it was over, essentially nobody was questioning his level of fitness, despite Winston being a less-than-sculpted 231 pounds.
"[That workload] maybe puts a little water on that," said Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht, whose franchise owns the first overall pick in the NFL draft. "Puts that fire out. He showed his arm strength from throw one to throw 100-and-whatever-it-was. … I think he was at the same weight. He looked to me a little better than at the combine."
Licht said he arrived looking to see some consistency in Winston's accuracy, leadership and competitive drive. And he left the workout with one word: "Outstanding."
"Today was just part of confirming what you see on video," added Buccaneers quarterbacks coach Mike Bajakian. "He's done a great job the last two seasons and has made all the throws on video."
So what's next?
Tampa Bay will work out Winston privately next week. If the Bucs come to the conclusion he's their guy, contract talks will likely begin the week of the draft. Until then, Winston will continue living the new reality. The one where the eyes on the practice field follow him everywhere. Maybe even on that next flight.

TYLER, TX (KLTV) - The dry weather from the summer coupled with the excessive rains this fall have prevented a lot of hay producers from getting as much hay baled.
If you are looking at short supplies or even sub-par hay, remember that supplementing will be very important.
If you have a hay meadow that simply didn't get baled before the frost because the soil was too wet for machinery, you can still bale it up and use it. It may not be the highest quality, but it will only be a little lower in quality than before the frost killed it.
According to the Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Service in Angelina County, standing grass can be harvested for your livestock or even sold if market conditions are right.

Uttar Pradesh is the largest state in the country and in terms of sheer population alone; it would be the fifth populous country in the world. The state has been the bedrock of Indian political scene with many presidents and PMs having come from this state. Lucknow, its state capital, is the seat of power and over the last few decades has seen massive development in real estate.
Lucknow has been a late bloomer in the real estate market as the state governments in the last decade or so realised the potential of the city after having witnessed the scorching pace of development at Noida, another city within UP, which is a suburb of capital of Delhi. While UP has traditionally seen small scale cottage industries like textile, handicrafts, leather etc., off late the government has embarked on pushing IT and ITeS based industries as well in the city of Lucknow. This has given a great impetus to the development of residential and commercial real estate projects in the city. Almost all major builders operating out of North India are now active in the Real Estate in Lucknow. The likes of Paras, Eldeco, and Sahara etc. are building Property in Lucknow.
The advent of Real Estate (Regulation & Development) Act has also helped galvanised the market. Also known as RERA, this act was promulgated by the central government to bring in transparency and accountability in this sector which is the largest employer of workforce in the country. The act was first notified on 1st May 2016, and the remaining provisions came into force on 1st May 2017. The act brings in even terms that were earlier lopsided in favour of the builder leaving the buyers at the mercy of the builders. The industry had been going through turmoil as many projects were delayed, speculative buying was rampant and genuine home buyers were stuck with loans with no visibility of completion of projects.
The RERA brings in certain norms that bring in transparency in terms of clear declaration of approvals before the launch of a project by the builder, provision of escrow accounts to safeguard the money to be used only for the specified projects, equivalent penalties on builders as well in cases of delays, etc. The Uttar Pradesh government under the new chief minister, Yogi Adityanath, has also taken this act very seriously. The government has notified the UP RERA and launched its website on 26th July, 2017. The government is in the process of appointing regulators and authorities to look into the implementation of the day to day functions under the act. This has raised confidence among the buyers and there already are positive signs from the Noida and Greater Noida area wherein a lot of pending projects have seen renewed action on the ground. As per some estimates, close to 50,000 home buyers are expected to get possessions of their houses over the next 4-5 months. The Lucknow Real Estate has similarly reacted very positively and there is a fresh momentum all across the board.

Can Seniors Learn from Kids?
Previously on the blog, we have talked about life lessons young people can learn from senior citizens. But does this work the other way around, too? Are there things senior citizens can learn from children? The truth is that we can all learn something from children, which follows from the fact that we can learn from every person. Thanks to the special bond that senior citizens and children form when they encounter one another, seniors especially can learn some important lessons from kids.
Children have traits that make them well-suited to certain things. For this reason, they are often the only people who can teach seniors some lessons. Here are a few things seniors can learn from kids so that they can become like spiritual children in faith.
1. How to nurture hope
Kids are natural optimists. Many children have not experienced crushing disappointment or anything else that beats people down. Their inclination is toward hope, and that can be infectious. Seniors have seen so much of life that they know that things are not always easy, and can in fact be quite difficult. This can build up discouragement and resentment over time, especially when people who are elderly experience loneliness, illness, or other trials. But as Christians, we are called to always have hope. Interacting with children and witnessing their unfailing hope can help seniors to rebuild that hope in their lives if they have lost it, or to help the hope they do have to grow even stronger.
2. How to imagine without limits
Sometimes, adults think of children as being unrealistic and imagining things that just aren't possible. They expect children to grow up and come to terms with reality. While adults and seniors certainly have to understand that realities of the world they live in, they can learn a lot from the boundless imaginations of children. When seniors say that they can't imagine anything new, they need only spend a few minutes with a child to see a healthy imagination at work and reawaken their own imaginations. After all, the limits of the world are less strict than we think, because "for God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26).
3. How to trust completely
In their innocence, kids tend to be very trusting, even toward strangers. This is why adults are so careful to warn children about people they don't know. Adults have learned that there is evil in the world, and this can make them wary of trusting people. No one knows this better than seniors, who have life experience that sometimes wears down their trust. But if seniors lose trust in other people, they become unable to form authentically deep bonds with other people. Seniors can look to children's complete trust in others to remind them that, though there is evil in the world, there is much more good, and the good prevails.
4. How to have confidence in God's goodness
Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it" (Luke 18:17). Children have their hearts turned to God and have complete faith in God's loving plan for them. Their natural inclination is to believe that God wants what is good for them, and they are confident that it will work out according to his plan. St. Thérèse of Lisieux was committed to following this way to holiness, and she is now a Doctor of the Church. Sometimes, especially when we have grown older and have not experienced life the way we wanted or expected to, we can fall into the temptation of believing that God has abandoned us. But God always has a plan for our good. If you have lost heart over the years, follow the example of the child who cries out to Jesus for help, confident that he will answer with love.

Essenceless series: V03; V05; V01; V02; V04
'Tünde Újszászi constructs and she breaks white through the black surface "fighting the material", and attacks large canvases with black in a gesture-like manner. She creates black surfaces with abstract expressionist painting energies, which are actually black spaces with different depths, in some cases allowing the appearance of a little whiteness. The canvases call the viewer closer and closer, and we almost feel sorry that the images have an edge and do not cover the entire exhibition space, in order to allow our entry into this emptiness. The images do not depict or represent, they stand as tools on this route beyond forms.' (Délia Vékony art historian, exhibition of Tünde Újszászi and Ákos Rajnai, 2016)

With the devastation Matthew left in the Caribbean, Haiti, Cuba and The Bahamas and now pounding the Southern United States thought it fitting to reblog this.
Hurricane's are devastating, I grew up in the Hurricane Belt so saw first hand their destruction. It doesn't matter how many hurricanes you've experienced in your life time, each one is different, each one brings it own devastation. Adversity is like a hurricane; destroying anything in it's path that's isn't indestructible. A few weeks ago the southern islands of The Bahamas were hit hard by Hurricane Joaquin, homes were destroyed, roads were partially washed away, schools, airports, and administrative buildings were either severely damaged or destroyed completely. It made me proud to see my fellow Bahamians jump to the call duty and lend assistance the victims of that terrible storm, lending support and soliciting aid to those hardest hit.
"It is through adversity that we are able to see what we're truly made of. It reveals the truth about who we are, and what we're made of."

The Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine will meet tomorrow (Tuesday) with Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Michael Creed TD, to discuss the draft Statutory Instrument on the Horse and Greyhound Fund Regulations 2019.
Speaking ahead of the meeting at 4pm in Committee Room 1 of Leinster House, Committee Chairman Pat Deering TD said: "State funding is vital to the survival of the horse and greyhound industries, which are both important in terms of jobs and revenue. Budget 2020 allocates €84 million for the Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund, with 80 per cent going to Horse Racing Ireland (€67.2m) and 20 per cent to Bord na gCon (€16.8m). The Committee looks forward to engaging with Minister Creed on how this exchequer funding will contribute to the continued development of these two industries."

15 April 2019: ArcelorMittal — whose Rs 42,000-crore resolution proposal for the Gujarat-based flat steel manufacturer was approved by the insolvency court last month — has nominated its representatives to the monitoring committee even as a couple of senior executives close to the previous management exited the firm, said a person close to the company.
The monitoring committee was put in place on National Company Law Appellate Tribunal's directive. It consists of three executives from ArcelorMittal, three representatives from the banks, namely State Bank of India (SBI), ICICI, IDBI and Edelweiss, and Satish Kumar Gupta, the resolution professional who is also the chairman of the committee.
ArcelorMittal's representatives are Sanjay Sharma, CEO for ArcelorMittal China & India, Kalyan Ghosh, CFO at ArcelorMittal India, and Vijay Krishna Goyal, vice president at ArcelorMittal, said the person cited At the same time, Suresh Jain, CFO of Essar Steel, gave his resignation last week. Under the new reporting structure, Jain would have had to report to Alvarez & Marsal that is acting as a mediator between the current management and the monitoring committee, and that was not acceptable to him, the source said.
Jain could not be reached for comments.
He has been associated with Essar group since 2008 when he was appointed the CFO of Essar Oil and then moved on to becoming Essar Steel's CFO when the oil refinery was sold to Russian oil giant Rosneft in 2017.
Ghosh may be considered for the post of CFO when ArcelorMittal takes over officially, the person said.earlier.
Earlier in March, Jatinder Mehra stepped down as chief executive of the company after a 12-year stint. "My contract came to an end on March 31 and I chose not to renew the same. This has nothing to do with the ongoing (IBC) process," Mehra told ET in an emailed response.
Mehra, 79, has been associated with the Essar Group since 1997 in various capacities.
To be sure, empirical practice in M&A deals suggests mostly the acquirer brings in his own management into the company once the deal closes.
The Supreme Court on Friday, though, stopped ArcelorMittal from paying the lenders and ordered status quo in the insolvency case until the bankruptcy tribunal decides on the proportion of amount to be paid to financial and operational creditors.
ArcelorMittal declined to comment.
Alvarez&Marsal said as a policy it did not comment on existing or potential client engagements.
National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) Ahmedabad had given its nod to ArcelorMittal's Rs 42,000 crore offer to lenders of Essar Steel on March 8.
Last week, NCLAT had said it may ask ArcelorMittal to deposit the amount offered by it in one or two accounts in the next hearing scheduled to be heard on April 23.
Under the insolvency resolution that has now been going on for 20 months now, Essar Steel's capacity utilisation peaked to almost 80% at the end of March when the company crossed the 6 mt per annum production mark out of nameplate capacity of 8.4 mt.
The improvement has been driven by better operational performance as well as an overall upswing in the steel industry with both consumption and prices increasing.
A recent Indian Steel Association forecast said steel consumption in the country is set to cross the 100 mt mark this fiscal year.
"It was good to see large operating assets attracting intense competition between incumbents and new strategic majors," said Anjani Agarwal, partner and national leader, metals and mining at EY. "While the steel industry demand should stay robust for a long time in future, the return on the investment made by new owners will always be a factor of how sustainably the assumptions on capacity utilisation, brownfield expansion and margins play out."

Maharashtra: Panel formed to reduce school dropout rate yet to give report
A member of the special task force formed to reduce the dropout rate in schools in Maharashtra has resigned from the group, alleging that the group has failed to come up with answers to the problem within the time assigned.mumbai Updated: Mar 11, 2015, 22:06 IST
A member of the special task force formed to reduce the dropout rate in schools in Maharashtra has resigned from the group, alleging that the group has failed to come up with answers to the problem within the time assigned.
Constituted in August 2014, the special task force was to come up with solutions to reduce the number of out-of-school children in the state within 30 days. It is yet to release its report.
Upset over the delay, Herambh Kulkarni, a reputed educationist, has resigned from the group. "I am shocked at the lackadaisical attitude with which the government is working on this issue. At this rate, it will take years to reach our goals."
The decision to form the group was taken following a meeting on August 5 last year, where not-for-profit groups working in the field of education made presentations on the issue. The state appointed prominent educationists and officials, including Farida Lambay, Srinivas Shastri, Siddhesh Wadkar, Deepak Nagargoje and others, as members of the group.
The report is important in implementing the Right to Education Act, 2009 (RTE) said Kulkarni. "There are 9 lakh out-of-school children in the state, but there cannot be a one-size-fits-all policy. Children in different parts of the state face different issues that keep them out of school."
Though the committee was expected to submit a complete report of its suggestions to the state within 30 days, it did not meet till November 30. No other meeting was held after that.
Members visited different parts of the state to study problems faced by children and prepared suggestions, which were submitted by members by December 5 to Mahavir Mane, director of primary education, who headed the group. The report has been pending with Mane since then and has not yet been released to the state.
"The delay could have been because of elections, change of government," said Farida Lambay, co-founder of NGO Pratham.
Mane was unavailable for comment. "We have submitted the report to the director, he is looking through it and will finalise it soon," said an official.

8 Ways to Help Students Understand Math better
8 Ways to Help Students Understand Math better
May 23, 2017
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Math always seems like a tough ordeal, more for the teachers who teach than for the students who learn the subject. Considering math as a life skill rather than how it's perceived today, as a school subject, wouldn't we want students to understand math?
Cuemath Teachers swear by these 8 ways to help students understand math.
- Encourage Mistakes
The first and foremost step is to encourage mistakes. This is a sign of active learning. When a student works out a problem and makes mistakes, she is showing far more progress than just listening to a lecture about that very concept. Ensuring that she understands her mistakes and corrects it on her own is a crucial part of her learning process.
Math has always been about practice, never about definitions or formulas and the Cuemath Learning System makes sure of this.
- Encourage Questions
A question is a sign of curiosity. Set aside some time and encourage students to ask questions. This ensures that their curiosity is ignited at all times. Moreover, learning the "why" behind the "what" of every concept is crucial to imbibe the concept. Encourage an atmosphere like this. You will find that students themselves begin to answer questions of their peers.
- Use Physical Learning Aids
Physical learning aids are considered a blessing for students. Stanford education professor Jo Boaler explains that when children count on their fingers, they are building their mathematical ability. Similarly learning aids can help students develop strong foundation about various concepts. The most common example for this is the abacus counting frame that help children count.
Cuemath Teachers are equipped with Cuemath's Mathbox that consists of a number of learning aids that help students discover math better.
- Use Visual Models
Once students have learnt the basics with physical learning aids, their skills can be scaled using visual models to deepen their understanding. For example, showing a child one grape next to a bunch of 20 grapes will help them analyse that the number 20 is much bigger than the number 1. Similarly, even concepts of fractions, algebra, geometry etc. can be made easy using visual methods.
Once a student is able to "see" math, it will be easier to introduce him/her to the more abstract concepts of math.
- Time Based Challenges
Engage students by allowing them to play time based games online or on math gaming apps. Games like these help children build their aptitude and improve individual skills like agility, pattern recognition and many more. Moreover, technology is an important facet in today's world and it hooks them on for a very long time.
Cuemath Teachers use the Cuestudent App to help students build their aptitude with the vast number of delightful games and exercises on it, specially designed for each grade.
- Introduce Puzzles
Introducing puzzles to students as a method of learning helps them devise their own ways around problems and concepts. This improves their reasoning skills to a large extent. Allow them to work individually or in groups and be open to multiple answers. As far as puzzles go, there may be more that one right answer!
The Creative Reasoning Cards by Cuemath are carefully designed so as to widen a student's understanding of concepts and go above and beyond it.
- Put in Some Math Games
Most math classes spell boredom for students and they look for ways to skip it. This doesn't have to be the case if math games are brought into the picture. Games like Ken-Ken, Sudoku and some other popular board games available in the market increase the interest among students.
Cuemath employs many such math games to not only increase interest among students but also to impart knowledge.
- Apply Math to Real World Problems
Any subject would seem redundant to students if they don't understand it's use in everyday life. This is where theory and practical knowledge combine. When students are able to gauge priorities and employ those decision making skills, they are practically using math.
Cuemath's workbooks tackle this problem wherein the word problems given to the students help them grasp the practical usage of a particular concept.
These are some of the teaching methods that can be followed to ensure that students holistically understand math.
Do you use some creative teaching methods apart from these?

"Peaking" Into A New Year
With the new year fast approaching, everyone reflects on the year gone by and dreams of the year ahead. With my #paralysis in 2016, I sunk down into a very bad hole, I couldn't see any future for 2017. Then as 2017 was coming to its closing, looking forward to 2018 didn't seem much brighter.
So here we are closing 2018 and I'm somewhat peeking at 2019. I'm not 100% ready to say I'm good yet or that I'm looking forward to the next year but I'm willing to peek into the future.
2018 gave me a couple "firsts" since life in a #wheelchair took over my/our life. We took our "first" vacation (went to TN), went into #NYC to see a broadway show and my honey remodeled two bathrooms by making doorways wider and giving me access to the sink by removing vanity and installing wall mounted sinks and building custom counter; gosh he's so handy :).
While our "first" vacation to TN was nice it was also a little difficult at times. It was a real slap in the face of what I can no longer do, of what we can no longer do. But, at the same time, we did it! That trip actually taught me, my honey, us, a few things about how we make this new life work. Do you remember when you were a child hearing your mom say "it's not what you say it's how you say it" that couldn't be more true. While my honey certainly NEVER means to hurt my feelings he sometimes did. Example: while driving down the road we passed an amazing waterfall. In the past, we would have both jumped out of the car walked over to edge of road and stood hand-in-hand, smiling, kissing and taking pictures. Well, jumping out of the van isn't as easy or simple or fast. We would have needed to park (instead of just pull off side briefly), he would have to get me chair out of back of van, then lift me out, then push me (remember I have shorter limbs can't push myself and for traveling purposes my motorized chair is VERY heavy and even more difficult to get in/out of van easily). So instead, my honey jumped out, took the camera and ran over to take a few pictures then returned to me excited to show me the pictures. Sadly, I was less than excited to see them. I was hurt, sad, mad, that I couldn't see it with him. It was a huge slap in the face. Lesson learned: if we can't do something easily & together than we don't do it.
We've been going into NYC for years for various concerts, shows, dinners and to play tourist during the holidays. Th as our "first" day trip into NYC since wheelchair life was a way of life and I'm thrilled to say it was a success, everything went so perfect (thanks in part to the #Neil_Simon_Theater for having an #accessible #Family_Restroom 🙂
And my honey's renovations! It's amazing how a simple task of being able to brush your teeth independently can boost ones phyche!
So, with a few positive good experiences in 2018 I'm trying to make a conscious effort to be a little more open to new experiences and trying a little harder to find new ways to make old experiences fun again.
As always, I wish you days filled with wonder – take a minute to wonder what it is that made you smile today! I also wish you
Please feel free to "SHARE" this post with your family/friends! And don't forget to leave your comments below, we love hearing from you!
One Response to ""Peaking" Into A New Year"
I get what you said about not being able to jump out of the car to take the picture by the waterfall. When your life changes, it's difficult to accept the changes. Especially when it has affected your physical abilities. I can only imagian what it is like, as I have watched my son struggle for three years since his accident. Yes he can walk. Yes he has one functioning arm and hand. But his life has changed so much. He cannot do a lot of what he use to at home, or with his family. Depression is the worse part, this holds him back, and makes his pain even worse. But he has been blessed with a wonderful partner, as I see you have. So I hope 2019 brings you both a better year,one where you have more pleasures, and continue to adjust to a new way of life. And if possible, maybe just maybe you willboth find ways to move forward and Hope improvement in abilities is In This new year. You have overcome so many Obstacles in your life, I believe in you and wish you more happiness in this new year

Afterparty will launch just in time to out-drink the devil on Halloween
Sometimes you read a game synopsis and have to blink and remind yourself it's not a high-concept metal album, because blimey. Two buds trapped in hell earning their freedom by out-drinking the devil sounds like the sorta thing that'd have some killer riffs. Ah, well. Afterparty still looks bloody incredible. With a release date marked for the end of next month, you don't have to wait long before drinking the lord of darkness under the table.
Afterparty is Night School Studio's raucous follow-up to Oxenfree, a lovely little adventure game about hip teens and spooky mysterious. The young'uns are still at it – this time, dropping dead and finding themselves facing an eternity of torment. Christ, and I thought my graduation was rubbish.
Hell does look quite hip, mind, full of bars and bands and boisterous horned lads. Besides the usual adventure affair of chatting-up demons, you can also swig a pint to give yourself enhancements or social powers. Yup, that's what I tell myself too when I'm at a party and don't know anyone. No, really, it's easier to get going once I'm down a can or three, honest.
Himself banished to the realm of no-longer-works-for-RPS, John had a bash at Afterparty earlier this year and found a riotously funny and intimidatingly massive narrative to explore. You won't catch all of it in one go, either, with weird hellish events happening across the world in real-time.
Afterparty slams on Windows and Mac via the Epic Games Store for £16/$20 on October 29th.
Me? I'm hitting the pub after work, devil or no.

Parents Should Monitor Tinder on Valentine's Day. Tumblr's Popularity Among Children: Parents Should Examine. Is Your Child Addicted To Porn - Find Out With TheOneSpy App. Our generation is much different from the 90's generation.
We don't have to go down to the CD place at the end of the street and buy porn from the adult section of that shop. You could very easily get access to porn, probably much easier than anything else. So, can children gain access to porn as quickly as anything else? The answer would be yes. No porn website wants tweens on their website. Let's talk a bit more about the limits. Guest blogging: Looking for Free guest website Join techuniverses. Never before have we seen a game that has received so much love from the audience in such a small amount of time.
Long story short – Pokémon Go took over the world as we know it. Pokémon Go was the first app of its kind that asked their players to actually walk around, to play and progress.Nintendo tried something similar with their "Wii" console but wasn't able to achieve the desired results. The controllers' advanced technology made people move their arms and legs to play the game, but that didn't work out too well since they could do so by sitting in one place. However, Pokémon Go achieved exactly what they wanted with the game. 3 months into the first beta launch, the game has been downloaded 600 Million times on Android and iOS combined. However, the app is not all rainbows and unicorns. Best Genuine review Website. In the 21st century, children are too much involved in mobile phones, tablets, and social media sites.
They watch their parents using smartphones, tablets, using social sites, updating status, or suffering the internet in any way. In short, they saw an environment full of technology from their childhood. The parents give their phones or tablets to their children for the sake of fun or entertainment; this is good but also bad when children demand their own personal phones before their teenage. The parents give access to technology to their children for having the advantage from an internet.
They can keep in touch with parents more easily and parents think that they are safe. Child Molestation: How to Know When Something Is Wrong? It is a sad fact to know that 96% of the time the person who has sexually assaulted your child, based on the reported cases, are the people your child or you know intimately.
They maybe your sister, your brother in law, your next door neighbor, a work friend, your child's nanny, babysitter, your housekeeper or even their own father. Unfortunately, that is a very true, yet devastating, fact that 16% of the time it is your own husband or your child's father who is responsible for traumatizing your child and scaring him or her for life. Thus, instead of looking closely at the bookstore owner the next time you pay them a visit, look closely at the people who live in your own home. What TheOneSpy App Brought Forth In 2016.

One may feel real good when they get a new bauble or a dress, but in the age of social media, one feels even better when they get to show off their latest bauble or dress to people that follow them on social media.
While no one doesn't think much when they post the picture of the diamond necklace they bought for themselves or when they post a picture of the brand spanking new diamond engagement ring that they had just received from their fiancé, but in reality, things like these can be the very reason why people with nefarious intentions may target you to get their grubby little hands on it. This is exactly what happened to Kim Kardashian a few months ago when she was in Paris attending the annual Paris Fashion Week. She was in her apartment at an exclusive Hotel Le Portales; seven rue Tronchet in Paris, where many celebrities frequent.
Where Things Went Wrong? Why Responsible Teens Need Monitoring Too - Imagination Waffle. You have a model teen living in the house with you, who have never done anything wrong.
He or she wakes up for school on time, gets good grades, does not drink or do drugs or even show no remove signs of rebellious behaviour. They are friendly with kids and their peers and are polite to a fault. They never argue with their parents i.e. you and always do whatever you ask of them. They are and have always been on the honour roll as long as you can remember and look after their siblings when you are not able to look after them, or you are unavailable.
Pokémon Go – The Hype and The Danger. The Fine Line between Monitoring and Spying in a Workspace. For any good manager or employer, it is imperative to know what goes about in their workplace, for obvious reasons.
Such reasons are what help them in combating rather common workplace misconducts like harassment and fraud. Therefore, keeping their employees under strict surveillance becomes an essential need in order to improve work conditions as well as its efficiency. Now when a word like "surveillance" comes into play, the discussion about privacy laws is never far behind, since the need to draw boundaries becomes quite important. Is It Even Safe For Teens and Tweens to Use Social Media? Every single social media outlet out there requires their users to be at the very least 13 years of age in order to create an account.
Yet, this rule of sorts is not that strictly applied. Even an 8-year-old today can create a Facebook or Twitter account by merely faking their date of birth. Since these portals do not really ask for documents of proof, it can prove to be a bit of a hassle for parents, especially ones that have forbidden their children from joining such social media networks. It would be wrong to say that parents always know best, especially in this time and age where a number of factors no longer give room to youngsters to grow into responsible adults. When such "man-children" to put it crudely, become parents, not all their decisions are necessarily the best decision for their children, even though those decisions come with care.
Learning from the Past Can Help Shape a Better Future. If there is one thing we can learn from the past is that no one is always safe.
Being safe is a condition that we choose for ourselves and work hard to achieve it. It's a conscious decision and not a whim of the moment. Kids like Hayley Dodd were very unfortunate when it comes to safety. While justice is being served as her abductor/murderer is currently under trial, there is no way of bringing back an innocent life that was lost. However, with technology at our side, we can ensure the safety of countless others like her. How can spying applications protect our loved ones?
