How do religions come into existence? How do they affect people and societies? What role does religion play in various cultures and conflicts?
You encounter religion in all cultures, all over the world. Worldwide, there are no fewer than 10,000 religious denominations. Religion can be the driving force behind people, influencing their behaviour economically, politically, socially and psychologically. Worldwide, but also in the Netherlands, there are many conflicts, sensitivities and political discussions in which religion plays a role. Religious Studies is thus a very topical social degree programme that touches on difficult issues. These issues are important to policymakers, to education and to journalists. Religious Studies experts are needed in a world in which religion is a permanent part of everyday life.
The central question you will learn to ask yourself is not to what extent religions are 'true', but how religion affects people's lives and what people do with it. The interaction between religion, culture, and society is the main focus of this bachelor's programme. During your studies you will deepen your knowledge of various aspects of the major religions in the world (Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity and Judaism). You will use different perspectives to analyse religious expressions – texts, rituals and visual art – and place them in their cultural context. Because there are so many important factors in studying religion in relation to people and society, Religious Studies experts are broadly trained social scientists, with experience in anthropology, sociology, psychology, political science, philosophy and ethics.

A highly challenging topic
After my final school exams, I took a year off to travel around India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism play an important role in these countries. I am primarily interested in how religious beliefs in these countries relate to phenomena such as Hindu nationalism, development aid, the position of women, and anti-Muslim violence. That's why I decided to study Religious Studies and specialize in South Asia.
What I like about this programme are the interactive lectures in small groups: we have lots of discussions and we have to give presentations. I really enjoy the diversity and topicality of the content, too.
I think that the phenomenon of religion is an extremely challenging topic. Throughout the years I have acquired a broad knowledge of the various religions and their relation to such aspects as politics or globalization.
As a religious studies scholar, I hope to create a bridge between South Asia and the West. There is so much misunderstanding in the West around issues such as women's rights and nationalism in these countries. This certainly has a negative effect on how India is portrayed in the media and on development policy. After my degree programme, I hope to be able to play an advisory role in these matters, for example in organizations such as Oxfam Novib, or at UN Women.'

Re-thinking how religion works
I was drawn to Groningen because of its reputation for being excellent for international students; the option to take my classes in English was also a big 'plus'. I am particularly interested in the scientific approach of studying religion, as well as studying religious practice and the significance of belief within communities; and the course here 100% meets my expectations.
The classes are incredibly interesting and the overall
environment is very friendly to international students, whilst the
professors are both knowledgeable and approachable. One of the
challenges that I have had is re-thinking how religion works; I
think I may have had previous biases in my ideas about religion and
I have tried to gain a new understanding of the subject as a whole.
My lecturers have been careful to critically present arguments from
across academia and within both Religious Studies and other subject
areas; it's great to get a taste of various
My course is structured progressively, so everything meshes together and builds to allow a deeper understanding of the content - instead of having five overview classes at once! The professors here encourage students to develop critical thinking, they always encourage questions and they have tried to give us the tools necessary in conducting our own research, too, which is great.
Outside of studying, Groningen is a lovely city, it is small enough to feel cosy and yet has a great social life. It really epitomizes the Dutch idea of 'Gezellig!'. I love being able to bike everywhere and Groningen is a very young and active city with a vibrant mixture of culture, shopping and nightlife.

Many chances to get in contact with our professors
I have been lucky to have travelled and have always been interested in getting to know new people and cultures. In choosing a degree, I decided I would like to explore the influence religion has on people's daily lives- and Groningen is a World Top 100 University!
My course has a balance of both well-structured lecturers, but
also a wide range of reading to do at home; we have so far looked
at different approaches to doing research on a religious issue.
I'm looking forward to the psychological and sociological
aspects of religion we are doing in the next block; but first I
have to revise the lectures of the last two months for the exam!
Luckily, the lectures have been very helpful and lead into the
final exam or
assignments well.
I would say that the course at the University of Groningen is special because we have so many chances to get in contact with our professors and the classes are quite small, so the lecturers even have time to meet up with us and answer any extra questions. Aside from learning in Groningen, I enjoy going to the market to buy fresh and local food! I live only a 5-minute walk from the Faculty, just to the north of the lovely city centre, which is great because the life in Groningen is very focused on students and the city offers loads of opportunities for sports, shopping and night life. There's a large number of Student Associations, too, so everyone is
likely to find other people who share a hobby or interest.

Curious about how people give meaning to their lives
I chose Religious Studies because I am interested in various subjects such as anthropology, politics and philosophy, and because I was curious about how people give meaning to their lives. I became a Student Ambassador for the degree programme because I am really enthusiastic about it.
I am also Chair of the student mentor programme. Mentors help students get through their first year of studies as best they can. Being a mentor has taught me a lot about group dynamics, and how to get quieter groups to open up. As a member of the Board of the student society MATA, I've had a chance to improve my organizational and communication skills.
After I complete my Bachelor's degree, I intend to do a combined Master's programme in Spiritual Care and Education. That way, I will be able to apply the knowledge I have gained in a more social or personal setting. My current job at a hospital will surely be helpful in my degree programme in Spiritual Care, and vice versa: no doubt the subject matter of the degree programme will be relevant to my work. My experience as a mentor and Student Ambassador will dovetail nicely with the Master's in Education.

You learn to look past the clichés about Muslims
I teach the course units 'Anthropology of Religion' and 'Islam'. The combination is a great way to learn about the link between the 'repertoire' of symbols, rituals and stories available to Islam as a historical tradition, and the divergent ways that individual Muslims and Muslim groups make use of that rich source to define guidelines for a good life, and derive comfort, strength and inspiration.
When the question of how people make use of the sources available to Islam to define their own lives and their society is made central, you learn to recognize that religion is not a blueprint for life; there is always an interplay between religious regulations and daily practice. This throws light on how changeable religious traditions are.
Students learn to recognize this interplay and to chart it. In concrete terms, you learn how a religious tradition is given shape in everyday practice and how you can use anthropological themes, theories and approaches to study religion. You learn to recognize the global developments in a specific culture or region. The course unit 'Anthropology of Muslim Societies' thus integrates the various topics and approaches taught in other course units in the programme.
The course unit is extremely socially relevant: political Islam is playing a major role in contemporary national and international relations and world order. The public debate sometimes reveals a very static view of Islam – people often think that it is a religion that has not changed since the seventh century and that that is what still determines all the thoughts and actions of Muslims. You will learn that people are not passive 'carriers' of a religion or culture. They are active actors who make use of different sources, which include religion, to define their own lives and to try to exert influence on their environment. If we produce one-sided explanations of the conflicts in which certain categories of Muslims are currently involved as being the result of Islam as a static, life-dominating religion, then you do not gain a proper view of the complexity of social, economic and political factors that contribute to people feeling hard done-by, insecure or who want to acquire power.
A greater knowledge of the practice of Islam in the daily lives of 'ordinary' Muslims will teach you to see that the dominant view of Islam as an aggressive, intolerant and primarily political religion does not dovetail with the meaning of that religion for the vast majority of Muslims. They simply want to live in peace and quiet. For them, Islam primarily has a personal value from which they derive strength, comfort and inspiration for their own well-being and that of their loved ones.
I will teach you to look past the clichés and to ask analytical questions in order to adequately research social phenomena.

to do something that makes a difference
Understanding the relationship between religion and politics is crucial. In the course Religion and Politics that I teach together with my colleague Joram Tarusarira, we're not just talking about electoral or parliamentary politics, but politics in everyday relationships, in the media, in grass-roots organisations - struggles over power, injustice, who is marginalised and excluded.
And we're not just focusing on 'religion' in terms of traditions like Christianity and Islam. We're also interested in the whole idea of 'religion' itself - who gets to define what 'religion' actually is, where it begins and ends, what its characteristics are, who its leaders and representatives are. What we show in the course is that how we define what 'religion' is, has a whole range of policy and real world consequences - it determines who can claim the right to freedom of religion or belief and who can't, for example.
In this course, you are introduced to a range of topics, concepts and skills relevant for exploring the relationships between 'religion' and 'politics'. You will get a broad historical overview of thinkers who have explored this topic, ranging from ancient times through to the contemporary world, so you can identify how things have changed but also how they have stayed the same. You will gain knowledge of foundational thinkers, as well as new developments. Along, you will develop the critical analysis skills to identify problems and inconsistencies in public discourses on religion and politics, and the communication skills to effectively explain these inconsistencies to a diverse audience. These are crucial skills to have if you want to go on and work in policy or the NGO sector, for example.
I am personally motivated to teach about these topics because I want to do 'something' that makes a difference in people's lives, that helps to address inequalities and injustices in global politics and society. For me, in our contemporary world, there is so much misunderstanding and misrepresentation of religion in general, and Islam in particular. This leads to injustices and inequalities that affect people on a daily basis - whether that is Muslim families always being singled out for extra security checks at the airport, or media commentators and politicians arguing that we should stop accepting refugees because they may be terrorists, or indigenous people in the US being unable to claim protection for their sacred sites because their traditional rituals are defined by courts as 'culture' rather than as 'religion' – I could go on. Yet so often we see discussions about 'religion' and 'politics' as abstract things that are not relevant to the 'real world'. I want you to realize that these things do matter and that utilizing more sensitive nuanced understandings of religion can help to address these inconsistencies, inequalities and injustices, in both big and small ways.

Social contribution
After graduating I was able to immediately follow an internship at a municipality. I was one of three students selected from among two hundred applicants. I was chosen among other things for my background in religious studies; my employer believed that I would bring in an interesting new perspective. The internship consisted of a two-year track during which I switched to a different municipal department every six months.
After that I worked for this municipality for another eighteen months as a policy officer for the Social Support Act and domestic violence.
I currently work as a project team member at JSO, a knowledge and expertise centre for the social domain. My job involves a variety of tasks in the social field, from developing quality measures for teenage mothers' programmes to a stint as interim policy officer for youth affairs at a municipality. What I love about my work is that I operate at the very heart of society and I can make a real contribution.

My students won't let me get away with nonsense
When I was rounding off my Master's degree programme, my former secondary school offered me a job as a teacher of Religious Education for a couple of hours a week. I started off with eight hours, completed my grade-one teaching qualification in Utrecht, and am currently teaching religion for four days and social studies for one day a week.
I had a great time as a student. The Faculty owes its charm and
strength to its small size, which meant I could fulfil various
roles: I worked as an after-hours porter and as a mentor, set up
the book committee and organized the introduction camp. In that
same vein, I'm currently organizing a trip to Rome for the
fifth-year students at our school.
As a teacher I have to be on the qui vive; my students don't let me get away with nonsense. Fortunately I had lots of debating practice at university.

Brisky-Treadwell Cemetery
Lat: 47º 30' 54" N, Lon: 120º 29' 45" W T23N R19E SEC 5
The cemetery was walked Nov. 13, 1998. Additions and/or corrections please contact Fred Pfulgrath
. Last updated 2016. Obits for most are on file at the WAGS Library.
The cemetery is located .8 miles west on Pioneer Avenue from Cashmere Middle School in Cashmere, WA. Turn right/south on Wohler for about 100 feet and turn right/west on Hazel Place. Go up Hazel Place about .1 mile and turn left/south and go up the dirt road to the top of the hill. The cemetery is enclosed in chain link fence with a gate. The # in the cemetery records denotes that records show that they were buried in the cemetery and then moved to the Cashmere Cemetery. There were 4 graves marked with a red stone - no inscriptions. There were possibly other unmarked graves.
Briskey/Brisky family history claims this cemetery was the first white cemetery in the upper Wenatchee Valley. It became known as the Briskey-Treadwell Cemetery because the Briskeys, Treadwells, and several friends and neighbors who died in those rugged, early pioneer days are buried in this cemetery. The property was eventually dedicated to the city of Cashmere to be used as a cemetery or park. (Source: Briskey/Brisky Family History, Part 7 - Sandel DeMastus @ Rootsweb.com).

In the market of electric motors, there are products designed for general purpose applications, and there are motors designed for specialized applications, such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs) or autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). While standard, general purpose motors work for most applications such as factory automation, sometimes, it may help shorten your design cycle by going with a motor system that already offers the features that you are planning to implement into your design. In this post, we will summarize some of these features.
Accurate Speed Regulation Prevents Weaving
|Speed variation between the right and left wheels may cause a transport vehicle to weave and produce undesired results. With built-in speed regulation using hall-effect sensors, speed fluctuations can be minimized, which reduces the speed variation between wheels and prevents weaving.
Vector Control for Ramp Operation
|In a ramp operation, speed regulation is difficult to maintain because gravity tend to overdrive the motor on its way down and increase its speed. By using the built-in "Vector Control", highly accurate torque control and load factor monitoring can maintain tight speed regulation, and back EMF can be controlled effectively.
Low Battery Operation
For battery operated vehicles, battery power is essential to keeping uptime. What happens if the battery is close to depleted? Motor systems that can work with low battery power can help maintain operational efficiency. For such systems, a wider range of input voltage can be accepted, and a limit is automatically placed on the speed range according to the input voltage. When the power supply voltage falls below a user-set level, a warning is output from the driver and can be used as an indication to return the AGV back to a recharging station.
Constant Torque & Wide Speed Range
|Built-in limits on speed and current prevents overheating for continuous duty operating cycles and maintains tight speed regulation even with fluctuations in load.
Unique Flat Hollow Shaft Gearhead Design with High Load to Motor Ratio
|A unique flat style hollow shaft gearhead can be directly connected to the wheel shaft without a coupling, which helps minimize footprint for vehicle drivetrain designs.
|Larger diameter gears, larger diameter bearings, and rigid case design of the flat style gearhead help deliver high torque and high permissible radial load for high load capacity. Since there is no saturation of permissible torque, higher torque can be achieved than with a conventional parallel shaft gearhead.
Network Capability
|Wheel shaft speeds, load factor, alarms from all axes of motion can be integrated into one network for real-time monitoring.
TIP: Improve Stop Accuracy & Avoid Back-Driving
|Proper use of deceleration control can reduce overrun for more accurate stopping. For example, the difference of overrun between stopping a motor at 3,000 RPM vs a motor at 80 RPM equates to over 330 mm (with a 200 mm wheel diameter).
|Manually back-driving an AGV or AMR can sometimes generate enough back EMF to damage the power supply or drive circuits. A power-off-activated electromagnetic brake can help lock it in place for loading/recharging or hold a load for vertical operation.
Learn more about these features by reading our white paper:

TIP: Use Our Quick & Easy AGV Motor Sizing Tool
|An undersized or oversized motor can create headaches later. Find the perfect motor for your AGV by using our AGV motor sizing tool to calculate the 3 most imporant factors for motor sizing: torque, speed, and moment of inertia.

In my opinion this in unfair. They are carefully balancing loans, investments and income to try to step from rock to rock, build production infrastructure, build charging infrastructure to support and promote the use of the car. Yes, like ANY public entity they do use hype to generate excitement, but to imply there is not a solid business plan is not right. Anyone can study and understand what they are trying to do.DaveinOlyWA wrote:there is a reason Tesla does not report sales or its finances the same way other car companies do and its because it would destroy their cash cow of promoting hype
Now whether they will succeed or stumble is another argument. But they have a plausible business case, and to be fair, have so far managed to hit every step as they had described (mostly), with the only exception being time slip. Which BTW is pretty much what you would expect when building from ground up. I mean SOFTWARE slips years, and this is building complex machines and production lines.
Only real issues I see is that:
a) They are over selling potentially the rate of growth and market size,
b) The slip has caused viable alternatives to appear on the horizon, but that would have happened eventually anyway, and
c) The concern that if the powerwall business really rockets and the gigafactory is online it may dwarf the potential for the cars and the company focus may drastically shift. But this one is a very big what if and musing.

I would like to comment on the advice given on flour and burnwounds.
No medical practitioner will give you the advice to put such a wound in flour or toothpaste or whipped egg white or Bicarbinate of soda.
The only way to treat burn wounds is to put it under cold runnig water for as long as possible to stop the skin from cooking, because that is what happen to skin and the underlying tissue, it cooks.
So to put all kinds of stuff on burns might aggrevate the treating proses later. It is virtually impossible to get flour etc. off so that burns could be treated properly.
So please do not advocate this remedy as a given, it can cause more harm than good, it would be preferable to buy a product for sears and scalds from the pharmacy and let professional people treat burns, specially those with blisters.

The LSPX-A1 is extra than just fairly footage, nevertheless. The device can simply pair with 4K streaming services and other 4K content providers, as nicely traditional 4K tech like Blu-ray gamers, and comes with a glass sound speaker system constructed-in for superior sound quality. Briefly, it is a projector you can be proud to display at home. In addition to satisfaction, prospective owners will need $30,000. Rushkoff opines lack of interest in understanding the past and future by noting that writing a book is unlikely to be read by many.

Sarcastically, Rushkoff's and Pope's hope are based mostly on a matter of time.

As we know from the collapse of other, smaller Ponzi schemes, such frauds can not last. They have a tendency to collapse all of a sudden and without warning, and those most enriched by the scheme—us—have the farthest to fall. The one approach we are able to keep away from such a fate is to realign our relationship with the pure world, to reorganize our considerable information about it to reveal the forces that result in our unsustainable practices, and to relearn easy methods to steward what remains of the planet we now have so altered. And if we don't, we have now only to alter the terms of Hugo's commentary solely barely. This—the collapse of our Ponzi scheme—will kill that—the civilization we have now built up over the last 200 years.

These light-textured little wedges of cheese bread are ideal for dunking into a steaming bowl of chili. They're also good for breakfast.
How to Make It
Combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; cut in cold butter with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Stir in cheese.

Optimization and Numerical Algebraic Geometry
Abstract: Classically, one can observe the combination of algebraic geometry and optimization in solving polynomial systems constructed from necessary condition of polynomial optimization problems. More recently, the connection between semidefinite programming and real algebraic geometry has been exploited. This talk will explore another use of optimization related to algebraic geometry, namely to construct homotopies in numerical algebraic geometry for solving polynomial systems. This idea has been used recently to solve a problem in real enumerative geometry. This talk will conclude with using algebraic geometry to solve sparse optimization problems arising from the concept of matrix rigidity. To incorporate a broad audience, all necessary concepts related to algebraic geometry and homotopies will be covered.

Streamlines information flow from livestock receipt to kill agenda to post-kill farmer feedback and payments, whilst monitoring and optimising the slaughter process through chillers, into processing and load-out to maximise labour and efficiency savings.
Livestock Manager ties booking and receipt processes into the kill agenda, providing comprehensive inventory of all animals on the plant. The flexible solution can be mob or individual-animal RFID based, and it allows yard, NLIS and supplier status to be incorporated, enabling meaningful market checks prior to slaughter.
Main Benefits
Simplifies the booking and receipt process
Matches expectations and bookings to actual receipts
Forms interactive kill agenda
Allows additional yard and heath data to be added
With Livestock Manager, lot booking and receipt information such as agent, buyer, market, purchase mode, farmer, carrier, NVD (or eNVD, ASD) are all captured, and this info flows through into the weigh grade kill agenda. The tool automates information tracking and simplifies regulatory auditing. Livestock clerks can plan for livestock deliveries and the package is flexible enough to allow a lot receipt without a booking. Expectations and bookings are matched to actual receipts.
Additional yard and health data can be added to the mob or to individual animals. This can be attached to individual animals (where these are identified by tags - usually RFID), the whole lot or just a delivery. When appropriate, this information creates carcass or mob alerts for operators when the carcass or mob is processed at a workstation.
The livestock clerk or weigh grade supervisor selects and updates the receipted livestock (Stock Available for Processing) into a kill agenda that flows through to become the weigh grade mob table. Lot Manager flows through to other area to reduce double entry and streamline the process.
Lot Manager supports both mob based for small stock or individual animal RFID based for cattle, deer (NZ) and the likely mandatory requirement in some regions for sheep/goats.
Manage livestock purchase and payment cycles, while automatically factoring in all the variables required to accurately remunerate suppliers and invoice for service kill fees. Livestock Payments conveniently centralises payments from one location and eliminates the need to manually collate info from multiple sources.
Main Benefits
Manage your livestock purchasing and payments from one convenient, central location
Powerful scheduling and tracking ensures your livestock supplies are always available
Centralises management of lot costing, region/supplier grade scores, pelts/skins, offal, farmer feedback and more
Manages multiple items including lot costing, region/supplier grade scores, pelts/skins, offal, farmer feedback
Livestock Payments allows easy creation and management of grids/schedules for over-the-hook stock purchases. This kind of centralised management also means you always know your: Stock Booked/ Scheduled to Arrive, Stock on Plant, Stock in Processing Service Kill, Stock in Processing Own Account, and Stock Available for Processing.
The module tracks a wide range of selection criteria including: category, sex, fat depth/score range, weight range and dentition range. It supports easier management of toll processing/service kill charges, credit meats retained for service kills and purchase mode settings for freight, hides and skins.
It also serves as a powerful scheduling and tracking tool to ensure easy management of your livestock supplies. Once configured, it automatically tracks the multiple items required for lot costing and farmer feedback. These include purchase type, agent/buyer commissions, region/supplier grade scores, pelts/skins, offal retained, credit meats retained.
The system makes it easy to send remittance advice and invoices to agents/suppliers for stock purchases and service kill fees. Remittance advice is passed as a buyer-created invoice and toll processing as an ordinary invoice to the plant accounting package.
Weigh Grade is a highly configurable solution built like an information conveyor belt. It systematically adds data to individual kill agenda records and tracks each animal from the yards all the way through the slaughter process. Access real-time displays of production progress and predicted throughput requirements from plant or office. Use manual grading or objective grading to eliminate errors inherent with human choice.
Main Benefits
Automated grading features reduce costly human errors
Manual double entry is eliminated, improving speed and accuracy
Provides detailed, real-time, user-defined reporting
In-house and industry grade processed simultaneously
Triton Systems Weigh Grade module is easy to use for kill floor operators, yet provides in-depth real-time information and reporting for plant managers and office staff.
A multi-species system for beef, sheep, pigs, deer, goats and game, it is easily configured for multiple species, and operates as fast as 16 units + per minute. Along the way, touch screens capture relevant information, including live weight, NLIS/NAIT records, ear/tail tag, sex, dentition, animal health, defects, fat depth and weight. Once configured, Weigh Grade continues to run, freeing processors and managers to attend to other duties.
Initial grading information is provided automatically by the lot agenda, and then is edited only as required by the operator. This offers incredible speed, accuracy and simplicity, and reduces costly human errors. Often, it is as simple as a single key press to access fat depth readings.
The intuitive, robust tool is designed with Triton's failsafe architecture, which ensures your production never stops, despite external downtime events.
Weigh Grade integrates completely and seamlessly, connecting kill floor systems with the NLIS database and to livestock costing, payments and feedback. It brings improved visibility, stability and control to your processing facility and contributes to better efficiency and profitability.
Carcase Track allows you to easily trace each animal back to its source and ensure precise traceability is maintained throughout the plant. Though it works with all stock sizes, the solution is ideally suited to small-stock plants, where high throughputs create special challenges for maintaining traceability.
Main Benefits
Provides accurate yield recovery analysis
Eliminates need for carcase tags, reducing consumable requirements
Allows boning room input and carcase load-out automation
Easily traces each animal back to its source via RFID or 2D enabled skid/gambrel
Carcase Track captures all animal information gathered throughout the grading process and assigns a unique identification number that carries this information through to the boning room.
It provides accurate, detailed information on animal health and detain, enables chiller automation and management, with boning room input and carcase load-out automation. Tracking on fixed chains and the incorporation of RFID or 2D barcodes on skids means processors can easily automate carcase handling.
This reliable and affordable traceability tool employs either RFID tags and reader or robust metal 2D barcodes and readers.
Hide/Skin manager allows managers to establish unique grading criterion and sort hides/skins by like-grade pallets. Information then flows to other Triton FUSION modules to eliminate duplication of data and increase efficiency. Hide/Skin Manager provides on-floor redundancy, and real-time data and reports.
Main Benefits
Assists in building like-grade pallets and controls hide/skin stocks
Configurable solution grades and palletises processed hides
Integrated to Inventory and Sales Systems Modules, to streamline process and reduce errors
Hide/Skin Manager records the full range of hide information, including species, sex, grade, weight, and area (if an area measurement unit is attached).
Each graded hide is assigned a customizable tag/ticket which can include grade details, supplier and lot, hide number, and details of the pallet to which the hide is being added. Data is then passed through to Triton Stock Scan, where hide and pallet stock is managed.
Each grade type is allocated a "number per pallet." When this is reached, the system automatically prints a pallet label with selected pallet details.
Hide/Skin Manager consists of three modules: Server, Office Client and On-Floor processing unit.
The Office and On-Floor systems are separate but connected, and each are fully operational even if connection between them is lost. The On-Floor touchscreen can work independently, grading and assembling pallets of hide's standalone.
The details concerning all hides and the pallets are uploaded to the office system, the database and reporting facility in real time. Office reports can be generated for grade summaries and lists for suppliers, day- and date-range reports, etc.

By Susi Hately, BSc. Kinesiology, C-IAYT Yoga Therapist
Way back in 2004, I wrote in my first book, Anatomy and Asana: Preventing Yoga Injuries, that backbends are delicious. I still believe that statement all these years later. Backbends can help release the muscles and connective tissues on the front of the body; while at the same time strengthen the muscles on the back of the body. They provide a sense of elegance and efficiency to improving posture, and revitalizing energy flow. Some would say that backbends far exceed caffeine's kick-start by providing a calm way to tame the sagging slump that can overcome a busy mind.
With a paragraph like that, what's not to like about backbends? Turns out, there is plenty. For all the benefits that backbends provide, there is a whole mess of things that can happen. A common problem that arises is "jamming of the back" which leads to lower back, mid back and/or neck pain. This pain can lead to biomechanical dysfunction of the shoulder and pelvic girdle, which can in turn lead to referred pain and dysfunction of the shoulder blades and SI joints, which can continue down into the arms and legs, respectively.
So, it isn't surprising that a whole number of cues and modifications are available for doing backbends, all with the intention of less pain, better movement and more freedom. Which leads to the meat of this post . . . The debate of whether or not to contract the glutes as you rise up into a backbend. This debate has been going for years – even before I started practicing…and that was way back in the early 90s.
So what is the consensus? Well, there isn't one. Here is my offering to the conversation:
There is tone to the glutes as you rise into backbend. There has to be. The movement is a hip extension, and the glutes enable hip extension to occur. Not sure you believe me? Try this exploration:
Exploring Hip Extension: Part 1
- Come into standing.
- Place your hand on your right bum cheek.
- Extend your right leg backwards.
- As you do, the muscles under your hand will contract. Or rather they ought to.
Exploring Hip Extension: Part 2
- Still in standing, watch the angle of your leg bone moving in your hip, as you move your leg into extension.
- Now come to the floor, and set up for bridge pose.
- Lift your bum – notice how the angle of your hip changes. This is the same as in point 1.
- Now come onto your belly, and move into floor bow. Either look in a mirror or notice the movement of the leg bone in the pelvis. You'll see it changes in similar way as in points 1 and 3.
The key point here is that the hip (leg bone in hip socket) is moving into extension. The gluteal muscles are required to do that movement.
I understand the position that some people over clench their butt as they move into many backbends. And yes, that extreme isn't wanted, but to full scale shut them off is not the solution. Instead, the aim is to retrain the movement . . . and not just in hip extension. More often when you see a bum clench in a backbend, there is gripping or holding or other lack of awareness elsewhere – in their breath, rib cage, jaw, belly and toes. Soften or ease those areas and you'll discover how using less effort can lead to a better result.
To drive the point home, there are a number of issues that can arise from not having glutes working properly. Poor weight transfer, SI instability, poor hip stability and mobility, an overly tight pelvic floor, weakness or shortness in the lower back, poor diaphragm function, jaw clenching . . . .
There is good news in all of this – Good movement is merely a week away – you can stand better, have less pain, and really enjoy your backbends a whole lot more. And as a bonus – be better at evacuating your bowels too – I know – who knew? – bowels and butts oh my! Your life can literally change that fast.

A home garden can be your private window to nature, acting as a balm to your stress and your senses. It's no surprise that garden therapy is moving into the spotlight as a therapeutic technique for physical, psychological and emotional healing and wellbeing. Anupriya Singh, HR Specialist at ThoughtWorks also believes that "therapeutic gardens can do wonders as they are good for physical, emotional and mental health". It holds a universal appeal, offering value to a wide spectrum of people – from overworked professionals to victims of mental health conditions; from young children to the elderly.
For Upasna Monappa, who is HR at KellyOCG, gardening is an art that makes you happy and healthy. She says digging and weeding are great exercise, and regular contact with plants and natural environment add to her holistic wellbeing. She also believes that engaging with activities like gardening is a fabulous antidote to the stresses of modern life.
In India, more and more living room corners, balcony railings and kitchen countertops are turning into bespoke garden displays. Here are five reasons why.
- Sense of Serenity
Gardening can cloak you in a spirit of calm. And there's a scientific reason why. Fresh air and the physical motions of sowing, seeding and potting can help reduce cortisol – the hormone triggered by stress – and invigorate the body by pumping oxygen and releasing endorphins into the bloodstream. Research shows that the presence of a garden can have a positive effect on blood pressure, lower anxiety, improved digestion and soothing the mind. In a study that compared indoor reading to outdoor gardening, people were tasked with a stress-inducing activity and immediately separated into the two activities. Results showed that those who were assigned gardening had lower cortisol in their saliva, and better moods. While reading also helped reduce cortisol, gardening had a deeper impact on stress relief.
- Dirt Stimulates the Mind
Combing through dirt may not be your idea of fun but turns out it's an excellent antidote for stress. Studies have found a direct link between soil bacteria and brain behavior, with such bacteria serving to stimulate serotonin – the happiness molecule.
- Focus and Concentration
When you're gardening, you're channeling your energy and attention into a single seed, pot or sapling. You're in the moment, you're focused, and you're all in. This feeling can be likened to meditation and can elicit a similar sense of mental wellbeing. Interestingly, a study by Johns Hopkins University found that meditation demonstrated the same efficacy as antidepressants in treating anxiety and depression.
- Connect to Nature
Whether or not you have a green thumb, spending time in a natural setting can be a surefire mood-lifter. Not only can it fill your system with new sights and scents, but it can also give you a new perspective, away from the daily contemplations of home or office. A 2014 study conducted by the University of Michigan and Edge Hill University, England, followed 1,900 participants of England's Walking for Health program, which organized about 3,000 nature walks every week. Scientists noted that after three months, participants who had walked at least once a week showed a happier disposition and less stress.
- Homegrown Organics
Organic produce is coveted for its pesticide-free, all-natural properties (studies show that organic food contains more nutrients than its synthesized counterparts). But it's also usually twice as expensive as regular produce. Growing your veggies can be a rewarding experience, not just for its therapeutic value, but also for its health benefits. Also, this way, you can build a heightened sense of consciousness in you and your family in knowing where your food comes from, and how it is cultivated. Consider beetroots, spinach, tomatoes, and lemons for your garden patch. They're perfect for the Indian climate and easy to grow too!
It doesn't take much to grow a garden, and you certainly don't need a spacious plot to indulge your green fingers. Arrange planters in your balcony, display pots in your kitchen or turn a living room corner into a pocket of verdure. However small or big your patch, the health benefits will be just the same.

During my 4 years of training in psychotherapy at ICP, I had the chance to create together with my fellow students, trainers and external teachers a training course that was based on everyone involved being propositional, active and highly participatory; basically revolutionizing the idea of training and teaching that until that moment I had known and had suffered through.
It is with that same spirit of active engagement and experiential training that I work now as a trainer, offering individual and group courses on a variety of topics, including:
The flexibility of the constructivist approach to education makes it suitable for both classic classroom situations with high school or university students and for corporate training.

Governor Wike Shows Concern For Humanity as Convoy Stops To Attend To Hit-and-Run Incident
Following the death of a motorcyclist along Igwuruta Road in the Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State, the convoy of Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike was made to stop and attend to the corpse.
The commercial motorcyclist was reportedly hit by a truck driver who absconded after the incident on Monday.
Reports from Punch Metro reveals also that the unidentified commercial motorcyclist was said to have died on the spot.
It was gathered the governor alighted from his vehicle to ascertain what happened to the motorcyclist, whose body was lying lifeless on the ground.
The governor was said to have directed medical personnel, who were also in his convoy, to evacuate the accident victim to a mortuary.
It was learnt that a huge crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of what was happening, even as the medical personnel positioned their ambulance to evacuate the corpse.
While the governor made inquiry about what happened to the motorcyclist, some eyewitnesses, who volunteered to speak, confirmed that a truck crushed the victim near the Igwuruta roundabout.
However, a statement signed by the Special Assistant to the Governor on Electronic Media, Mr Simeon Nwakaudu, indicated that Wike personally supervised the evacuation of the victim by the medical personnel.
The statement read in part,"The humanity of the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, was on display as he stopped his convoy to move the corpse of an accident victim killed by a truck.
"The man, who was riding a commercial motorcycle, was crushed near the Igwuruta roundabout along the Port Harcourt Airport Road.
"The governor personally supervised the evacuation of the victim by the medical personnel in an ambulance attached to the convoy.
"Eyewitnesses had told the governor that the victim was crushed to death by a truck in the morning," adding that the governor supervised the restoration of normal traffic flow in the area before he continued his journey.

It's one thing to indulge in classic guilty pleasures, like enjoying a piece of dark chocolate before bed, but some extravagances take guilty pleasures to an entirely different level — and they're all well worth it. Below, 25 creative women including Serena Williams, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Martha Stewart share indulgences that they simply can't turn down — everything from highly original nighttime snacks and lavish beauty regimens to rom-coms and buying … mansions. And as a bonus: See how many have gotten sucked into the hypnotizing, all-consuming, high-drama vortex of reality TV. (You're not alone!)

"Keeping Up With the Kardashians. I had never watched it, and then when I was super-pregnant I was overdue and I actually had a pretty bad injury and I got put on bed rest and I couldn't move. And I asked my friends, 'What should I do?' Because I just wanted to be productive. They're like, 'Listen, you got a 5-year-old running around, on bed rest, you just need to do what you want to do most. What is that? Do you want to read magazines? Like what do you want to do?' And I was like, 'I just want to watch the Kardashians, I never watched it before! I just really want to see what this is all about.' And I have since watched every single episode. I love it … I love it.†– The Huffington Post, May 2013

Martha Stewart
"My guilty pleasure is not at all interesting: It's a spoon of really good organic peanut butter, or a slice of American cheese from my housekeeper's drawer. I steal American slices sometimes — in the plastic, it's so horrible. But it's such a good snack. I eat pickled herring as a late-night snack before I go to bed because it's savory and good. I like liverwurst, and I know how bad it is now. I love squeezing it out of the tube and just eating calves' liverwurst.†– Town & Country, June 2017

On what makes her laugh the hardest: "The Real Housewives of Atlanta, hands-down … I watch it religiously, and I am in stitches the whole time … I was just having a conversation with someone about The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and I was saying how I love that show and think it's so brilliant because it's the woman that was represented in my childhood in Houston. It makes me feel so at home.†– Interview, January 2017

"[I read] pretty much all the time. Especially if I'm supposed to be doing something else. I was very frequently punished for reading as a child because I was reading when I was supposed to be doing homework. I got in trouble in school for reading, I got in trouble at home for reading. My mother would actually bang on my door and say, 'I know you're reading in there!' In my adult life, I've gotten in trouble for reading because I'm not writing when I'm reading. So it's really rare that reading is unaccompanied by guilt for me. But I've learned to live with it. I feel guilty pretty much all the time. The only time I read without feeling guilty is on a plane, because what else could I possibly be doing?†– The New York Times, March 2017

But I never beat myself up about it, because, look: You can't give up every damn thing. You need something in your life that you like just because you like it!†– Glamour, October 2012
Ina Garten
"I'm often asked what my guilty pleasures are and I have to admit that really good bread and butter is definitely on the list. When I want to treat myself, I go online and order a huge crusty loaf of sourdough bread from Poilane, the best bakery in Paris.
It's enormous — it weighs about four pounds! — it's made in their wood-burning ovens, and they FedEx it almost daily right to your door. When it arrives, I cut the loaf in quarters and freeze some for later. Poilane's bread is dense and flavorful and it's as good toasted with butter and jam as it is sliced for sandwiches or grilled for bruschetta. Of all the gifts I've ever given, a loaf of fresh bread shipped from Poilanewas definitely everyone's favorite! The raisin and walnut breads are also amazing? It's like a trip to Paris without the jet lag!†– her Facebook, March 2013

On her guilty diner pleasure
"Isn't everything in a diner a guilty pleasure unless it's a small bowl of cottage cheese? [Laughs.] Grilled cheese. Chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese. New York is perfect for that.

How many American colonies fought for independence from Britain?
Thirteen colonies joined forces to fight for their independence from the British crown.
By: Staff
5 Min Quiz
If you live in the United States, you probably don't mind hosting a cookout and watching fireworks light up the sky each July 4th. But how much do you know about the war that originally inspired this great holiday? Take our quiz to find out!
After all, when it comes to the war for American independence, we tend to remember the most well-worn tales and famous names learned during our early school days. The Boston Tea Party. The first Continental Congress. The midnight ride of Paul Revere.
If you're thinking of the archetypal Founding Fathers, for instance, you're probably conjuring up the image of somebody like Benjamin Franklin or John Adams. Then there's Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and even Alexander Hamilton — legacies that are all still evolving today.
But there were many other unprecedented historical events and early American heroes during the Revolutionary era, all key to the course of United States history. It's not just the biggest signatures on the Declaration of Independence that matter, but also the first shots to be fired and the first casualty after war broke out. It's the stalwart support of the French and the many British attempts to stamp out the rebellion.
Together, these legendary people and moments shaped not just a new government, but the ideals of a new national identity. We bet you've done your homework since grade school if you know them all. Ready to find out if you're a U.S. history expert?
Thirteen colonies joined forces to fight for their independence from the British crown.
The first shots in the American Revolution were fired at Lexington and Concord, in the state of Massachusetts.
On July 4, 1776, the colonists boldly declared independence. The U.S. marks this courage with parades, fireworks and celebration every July 4th.
Philadelphia not only hosted both the first and second meetings of the Continental Congress, but also served as a meeting spot for Congress after the war ended.
France became an important American ally in 1778, with Spain joining the fight against the British the next year.
The Boston Massacre — during which five colonists were killed by the British — occurred in 1770, while the famous Boston Tea Party took place three years later.
No individual was punished after the Boston Tea Party. Instead, the British stripped Massachusetts of its local government and brought in more British leaders to take control of the state.
King George III ruled Britain and its colonies as the Americans fought for independence.
Paul Revere was actually a well-known silversmith when he took his famous ride in 1775.
After 1778, the colonists permitted African-Americans to fight, and they eventually made up 5 percent of the Continental Army.
The British hired around 30,000 German troops to fight the war on their behalf. Around 3,000 of these stayed to live in America when the war was finally over.
After France helped the colonists win the Battle of Yorktown, the British surrendered the war in 1781.
The British enacted the Intolerable Acts after the Boston Tea Party in an effort to regain control. These acts restricted trade and shut down Boston's famous harbor.
When the first Continental Congress met in 1774, its primary goal was to fight against taxation without representation, not to win independence for the colonies.
The colonists decided to form the Continental Army in 1775 at the second Continental Congress, when it was clear that war was about to break out.
Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence with help from other colonists — including John Adams and Benjamin Franklin.
The Continental Army's time in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, between 1777 and 1778, left the colonists with an army that was more cohesive and better prepared.
Benedict Arnold originally fought on the side of the colonists before switching his loyalties to Britain and attempting to surrender West Point to British forces.
It took two years after the Battle of Yorktown in 1781 for the war to finally end and for both sides to withdraw troops.
Washington led his troops across the river on Christmas night, surprising the British army in New Jersey.
The British struck several blows to the colonists in 1777, including taking over the de facto capital city of Philadelphia.
Colonial delegate George Washington became Commander in Chief in 1775 and led the colonists to victory.
Vermont declared independence separately from the other 13 colonies and went on to become the 14th state in 1790.
The British defeated colonial forces at the Battle of Bunker Hill in Massachusetts, but they also suffered heavy losses, giving the colonists hope that the war was still winnable.
William Howe served as Commander in Chief for the Brits from 1776 to 1778.
Marquis de Lafayette was so passionate about the American cause that he left his home in France to fight for free and was also a key link to critical French supply lines.
The British famously wore red coats as part of their uniform, while the colonists were a more rag-tag bunch.
Former slave Crispus Attucks, who was the first to fall at the Boston Massacre, is considered the first victim of the war.
New York's Fort Ticonderoga was taken by the British in 1777 during a hard-fought battle.
The Treaty of Paris, signed in 1783, officially ended the war and granted independence to the colonists.
