Queens Park Rangers lost 2-1 against Brighton and Hove Albion tonight.
Digital Football Writer for Trinity Mirror South East, Mark Ritson, was at Loftus Road covering the game for Get West London, so how did he rate each player?
Alex Smithies - Solid, steady and did his job well. Clattered early in the second period but recovered well. Absolutely no chance with a scorching free-kick from Pocognoli. 7
James Perch - Got forward well and had a chance in the first half blocked. He can happy with his performance, he gave QPR some creativity. 7
Joel Lynch - Not much to say about the left-footer tonight. Was a satisfactory performance, taken off tactically for a striker in the second half. 6
Nedum Onuoha - Got dragged out for Murray's opener. Far too much space in the middle of QPR's defence for that goal. Apart from that, he was fairly steady. 5
Grant Hall - Good battle with Murray but lost out in the end. Can be at fault alongside Onuoha for Brighton's opener. 5
Massimo Luongo - Bright and energetic, as you'd expect. Tried to pull the strings but you get the feeling he's doing the job of two men at times. He needs help in there and Holloway must sign a strong midfield man to play with him this summer. 7
Ravel Morrison - Calm on the ball and passed it around well. But he didn't have any affect on the final third, unfortunately. 6
Jack Robinson - A quiet first half, needed to get on the ball a lot more. Second half was the same and he was taken off. 5
Ryan Manning - Very good first half and had an eye for goal, certainly. He continued to stand out in the second period, and he can also be happy with his performance. 7
Matt Smith - A towering presence as you would expect, got up for the flick-ons and held the ball up well. In the second half he got the goal he deserved with a very good header to give Rangers some hope. 7
Conor Washington - Looked up for it, was quick and a pest to the Brighton backline. But in the second half he wasted some chances, but never gave up. You have to admire his enthusiasm. 7
Luke Freeman - Wanted the ball at every opportunity, got some crosses in and was positive. 7
Yeni Ngbakato - No real effect and wasted a very big chance at the death. 4
Idrissa Sylla - Put himself about and gave Albion some trouble. 6

Series: Bachelor Brotherhood #1
Genres: Contemporary Romance
"Warm and funny, the first book in the Bachelor Brotherhood series reads like a great Hollywood rom-com." -- iBooks Best Books of JuneA Bachelor Brotherhood Novel
Never say never . . .
Romance isn't an option for Holly Greenwood. With her wedding planner career on the line she needs to stay focused, and that means pleasing her demanding boss, not getting distracted by her mind-alteringly hot neighbor . . .
Ex-Marine Kevin Vandemeer craves normalcy. Instead, he has a broken-down old house in need of a match and some gasoline, a meddling family, and the uncanny ability to attract the world's craziest women. At least that last one he can fix: he and his buddies have made a pact to swear off women, and this includes his sweetly sexy new neighbor.
After one hot night that looks a whole lot like a disaster in the light of day, Kevin and Holly are about to learn that true love doesn't play by the rules . . .
Only You
Denise Grover Swank
If you like your romance reads to have sweetness and humor, Only you is a great pick! I have read other books by Swank, and her style is light and easy.
Only You starts with an agreement between friends. Kevin and his friends decide they should stop dating for awhile. Reading some of the HILARIOUS stories of women they previously date was one of the highlights of the book. I liked that it was the men chatting about relationships and love. Usually, its the women who are chatting about the topic so it was a nice change of pace!
Kevin doesn't count on meeting Holly. Holly has sworn off dating as well, but there is no denying the attraction. Holly is Kevin's neighbor and a wedding planner. Kevin is an ex-Marine. The big dilemma in this story revolves around miscommunication. Kevin and Holly would have a spark, then something/someone would douse it. If that trope bothers you, you might want to skip this one. However, I didn't really find it as frustrating as I sometimes do with a trope like this so kudos to Swank for that!
Overall, this is a sweet and easy read! It would be a perfect beach/pool read or weekend binge read! It is a spin off of her previous series, The Wedding Pact, but you do NOT need to read those.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Denise Grover Swank was born in Kansas City, Missouri and lived in the area until she was nineteen. Then she became a nomadic gypsy, living in five cities, four states and ten houses over the course of ten years before she moved back to her roots. She speaks English and smattering of Spanish and Chinese, which she learned through an intensive Nick Jr. immersion period. Her hobbies include witty (in her own mind) Facebook comments and dancing in her kitchen with her children. (Quite badly if you believe her offspring.) Hidden talents include the gift of justification and the ability to drink massive amounts of caffeine and still fall asleep within two minutes. Her lack of the sense of smell allows her to perform many unspeakable tasks. She has six children and hasn't lost her sanity. Or so she leads you to believe.

From Only You:
Kevin wasn't sure why he was surprised Holly was here. She was a wedding planner, and from what he'd seen so far, she was a damn good one.
He'd been on his way out of the room, needing a breather from the noise and the chaos of the reception when he'd seen her at the table. He hadn't planned on asking her to dance—hell, he hated to dance—but he'd been desperate for a reason to talk to her.
When he sat back down at the table, Tyler wore a smirk. "Crashed and burned, huh? I thought you were going to the bathroom to take a piss."
"I was. I just happened to run into a friend."
"Run into a friend, my ass. I thought we'd sworn off women. I've held up my end of the bachelor brotherhood. And let me add that I had no idea my balls could turn this blue."
"She's a friend," Kevin said, trying not to sound irritated and feed any more fuel to the fire.
"She's his neighbor," Matt said, taking a sip of his beer, and giving Kevin a pointed look. "They're friends."
Tyler burst out laughing. "You got friend-zoned?"
"No," Kevin said slowly, picking up his drink, surprised Matt hadn't told Tyler about the situation he'd stumbled upon. "I was the one who said I wanted to be friends."
"Why?" Tyler asked, watching Holly with a little more interest than Kevin liked. "She's hot. Do you know if she's seeing anyone?"
"No." Kevin's irritation grew.
Tyler stood and adjusted his tie, a smirk lighting up his eyes. "Screw the brotherhood. I think I'll go over and introduce myself."
Kevin was up in a flash. "I don't think so."
"Why not?" he looked surprised. "She looks like she'd be worth a short break from my hiatus from women."
Kevin stepped in front of his path, his jaw set. "Because you're a prick who will use her and toss her aside and she deserves a helluva lot better than that."
Matt was up in an instant, grabbing Kevin's arm. "Why don't we get some air?"
"You like her," Tyler said, slack jawed.
"Of course he likes her," Matt said. "For someone so smart, sometimes you're an idiot."
"In my defense," Tyler said. "He said they were friends."
"Okay," Matt said slowly. "When was the last time you convinced a woman to be just a friend?"
"I rest my case, counselor."
Tyler sat back down, and Matt tugged on Kevin's sleeve to get him to join them.
"I can't believe you didn't last even a single week," Tyler said.
"He didn't last a single day," Matt told him. "He slept with her the night after our agreement to remain single."
Tyler burst out laughing. "For a tough-ass former Marine, I expected you to be the last holdout, man. At least a week or two."

To add a collaborator to this project you will need to use the Relish gem to add the collaborator via a terminal command. Soon you'll be able to also add collaborators here!More about adding a collaborator
Miro is a Free Software ^1 project. It is built, supported and
maintained by a community of volunteers, users, and developers
contributing their time and skills.
This is your project, too!
Everyone plays a role in Miro development---we all help to make it
better. You don't have to be a programmer to contribute to make Miro
This chapter covers various ways you can help the Miro project.
Contributing through OpenHatch
Do you want to contribute but find that the Miro project is too
difficult to get involved in?
OpenHatch is a web-site that helps people like
you who are interested in contributing connect with projects like Miro
that are complex and non-trivial to figure out how to participate in.
If you're interested in contributing, I encourage you to go to Miro project page and click on the big
green button that says "I want to help". Then we'll contact you and help
you help us!
We don't spend money on marketing---Miro's success is based solely on
word-of-mouth and news generated by releases.
Using Miro and telling everyone you know about it helps the project
tremendously. Some of these people will become users. Some will become
contributors. Some will help translate. Some will contribute funds for
continued development. Some will tell their friends and family.
We encourage you to download Miro, copy it, burn it to a CD, put it on a
thumbdrive, and give it to friends and family.
Write about your experience with Miro. What works for you? What doesn't?
Which podcasts are you watching and listening to? How do they enrich
your life and the lives of those around you?
Buy a Miro t-shirt and wear it. Tell people how the future of Open Video
affects us all and how ensuring its success helps to make the world a
better place.
Tell your favorite podcast publishers to add "add to Miro" buttons to
their podcast sites.
Download the source code, print it out, and wallpaper your favorite
building with it [^2].
Support your friends using Miro and help them help us help them by
sending in bug reports and feature requests or writing posts in the
Reporting bugs
When you encounter bugs in Miro, report them. Sometimes people encounter
problems that other people encounter, but if no one reports it, we might
not be aware of it.
A "bug" is a generic term covering an aspect of Miro that needs
attention. This could be any of the following:
- a crash report
- something that could be improved
- something that's horribly wrong
- support for something Miro doesn't support but should
- a new feature
Our bug system is at
http://bugzilla.pculture.org/ .
When submitting a bug report remember that the following are all true:
There are a million of you and a handful of us. There's a very
small number of paid staff working on Miro and supporting users.
Right now, there are 6 developers and 1 QA.
Help us help you by doing as much of the footwork as you can.
Getting to your bug might take time. We work through bugs as
quickly as we can, but many bugs are non-trivial and take time to
look into. If you submit a bug and can't work on it yourself, then
it'll sit around until someone has time to look into it. Sometimes
this means that your bug will go unanswered for a while.
It's also possible we don't have the equipment or configuration that
allows us to reproduce your bug. In these situations, it's very
difficult for us to solve the bug unless we get lucky. If this
happens, we'll let you know.
Be considerate. People who work on Miro are doing the best they
can. Being easy to work with makes it more likely someone will want
to work with you on your problem.
Use an email address that let's us contact you. If you use an
email address that you then throw away and we have questions, then
those questions will go unanswered. After a couple of weeks with no
response, we'll probably resolve the bug as INCOMPLETE because we
don't have the information we need to continue working on it.
We use Bugzilla as our bug tracker. We know it's oriented to developers
and not to end users. If you find it overly complicated, find another
way to report your issue.
We spend a lot of time testing Miro. Even so, it's impossible for us to
test Miro in all the configurations on all the platforms with all the
various video hardware and other complex configurations. Helping us test
is immensely useful and directly impacts the quality of Miro releases.
There are two ways you can help us test Miro. The first is through a
series of unit tests that exist alongside the source code. These unit
tests test a small amount of Miro, but do so in a programmatic way.
The second and more important way we test Miro is running through the
many tests that Janet has put together. Often running through a test is
a 5-minute endeavor. Having many people run through the same tests
covering different operating system and hardware configurations gives us
a good feel for how well those parts of the code are working.
Comprehensive user-interface tests are very important in a desktop
Whether it's testing a nightly build to see if a specific bug has been
fixed or testing a release candidate to make sure it's solid for a final
release, Miro wouldn't exist without the community of volunteer testers.
Additionally, testers see new features and bug fixes before they're
available in final releases. If you're interested in the bleeding-edge
of Miro development, then you'll be interested in testing.
If you're interested in helping us test, visit Janet's Miro testing blog.
Miro is translated by the community. You can help out by translating
strings in your language through the Launchpad interface.
Translations are synced into the Miro codebase periodically during the
development cycle as well as just before releases.
Miro is a Free Software project and we encourage everyone to help us fix
bugs, implement new features, and fine-tune the existing code. It's
often the case that there are things we want to do to make Miro better,
but those things end up sitting in someone's queue for long periods of
time because we lack the time and resources to get to everything.
If you're interested in helping to code, visit the Miro development Center.
If you're just getting started, look at bugs in our Bugzilla bug-tracker tagged "bite-sized".
If you want to get involved, but need a mentor or a helping hand, hop on
#miro-hackers IRC channel on freenode.net. If you don't know what
that means, send an email to
will dot guaraldi at pculture dot org and
tell Will that you want to help out, but don't know where to start.
Contribute money
Most small projects require paid staff whose primary job it is to
facilitate development and provide continuity for the project as
contributors come and go. Without paid staff to keep things going, small
projects sometimes run out of momentum, stagnate, and cease to be

[^2]: That's actually probably a bad idea. Miro |version| contains
58,273 lines of code. Assuming 80 lines of code per page, that'd be
1064 pages. If those pages were 8 1/2 by 11, then that's 691 square
feet. That's enough to cover the walls of a room that's 8 feet tall
by 9 feet long by 9 feet wide.

Community Facilitator Mike Donaldson's resignation last week makes him the 16th CF out of 82 to quit this year. Last year, 12 CFs left their posts by the end of the school year. While some CFs left this year to study abroad or for medical reasons, others said the Community Living and Learning Center has overworked its employees, causing their resignations.
"The CLLC chooses CFs based on their participation on the GW campus," said Christina Mulligan, a former CF at JBKO. "But when you are a CF you can't maintain those commitments to your activities."
Donaldson wrote a letter printed in The Hatchet ("Residents lose out when CFs resign," Feb. 12) last week denouncing CLLC management policies. In the letter, Donaldson said CFs are often told to take on more work than they can manage.
Donaldson said he decided to resign following a meeting with CLLC officials in which the letter was discussed.
"Mike (Donaldson) has chosen to resign," said Tova Olson, director of selection, training and development for CLLC. "He wasn't happy."
Olson said applicants do not always realize the amount of work GW requires from CFs.
"The CF position is not for everybody," Olson said. "It requires a lot of paperwork that potential CFs are not aware of."
Mulligan said the problem extends beyond the paperwork.
"They are not organized about their deadlines," she said. "CFs have to sacrifice academics to meet deadlines."
In his letter Donaldson wrote that the job description is "not transparent," and so vague that the University could justify assigning additional work to the CFs by calling it a part of the original contract.
Although Donaldson said CLLC has since addressed his concerns, other CFs, who wished to remain anonymous, said they are considering resigning. They cited internal problems with CLLC and unclear job descriptions as reasons for wanting to leave.
Mulligan said GW should allow CFs more opportunities to get involved with campus life.
"The CLLC needs to be more supportive of CFs' responsibilities outside the CF position," Mulligan said. "Being a CF really makes it difficult to continue outside activities."
Olson said of the 16 CFs that have left their posts this year, two left due to illness, one was promoted, one decided to study abroad and one transferred, leaving 11 who resigned for other reasons.
"Some of the CFs who have resigned this year were due to poor performance," Olson said. "We like to give them the opportunity to resign, because it is easier for them."
CFs receive a $1,000 stipend each semester, a furnished room, voice mail, call waiting and a Debit Dollar stipend during their employment.
CF duties include holding office hours, attending staff meetings, performing health and safety inspections, conducting floor meetings, designing in-hall programming, distributing posters, resolving room and resident conflicts and developing strong communities in residence halls.
In his article Donaldson wrote CFs "become frustrated by the volume and nature of the responsibilities they are delegated and resign."
When Mulligan's fellow JBKO CF Phil Metcalf resigned in October, she said she was asked to assume some of his responsibilities for health and safety inspections. This and other similar CF commitments led to Mulligan's resignation.
CLLC met with Donaldson following the publication of his letter to resolve his concerns, Donaldson said.
"CLLC and I are on the same page," he said. "Some resolutions have been reached."
Mulligan said the gap between CLLC and its employees still exists, but could be improved with better management and organization.
"The problem with CLLC and the CFs is not difficult to fix," Mulligan said.
Olson said CLLC discussed the letter in all of its CF training sessions to address concerns of future CFs.
"We like the CFs in training to be aware of the actual expectations and reality of the job," Olson said.
This article appeared in the February 20, 2001 issue of the Hatchet.

Prince Charles is feeling the effects of the interview Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did with Oprah Winfrey on Sunday night. The interview won't air until Monday night in the U.K., but there are enough clips on social media to make the monarchy realize that they don't look too good coming out of the TV special.
Prince Charles is said to be "in a state of despair" over the revelation that he stopped returning his son's calls after Harry and Meghan made the decision to leave their senior royal roles, according to Vanity Fair. There is a lot of hurt and pain over the circumstances of the last few years and it's clear the only ones who are communicating their feelings are the stateside couple. The royals are keeping a stiff upper lip, just like they've been instructed for decades per royal protocol.
"For Prince Harry to say that he felt let down by his father must have been a difficult thing to say and hard for Charles to hear," royal author Sarah Gristwood told Vanity Fair. "Now, just at a time when by and large Charles had started to look like a more popular King than one would have guessed, here's a major blow to his reputation. That his son felt let down by him."
Prince Harry gave Oprah an update on his current relationship with Prince William — and it sounds like it's a work in progress. https://t.co/ASJFpyu6q6
— SheKnows (@SheKnows) March 8, 2021
Harry expressed his disappointment in how his father treated him, but he has said there is hope for their relationship in the future. "There's a lot to work through there. I feel really let down because he's been through something similar, he knows what the pain feels like, and Archie's his grandson," Harry said to Oprah. "But at the same time, of course, I will always love him. But there's a lot of hurt that's happened, and I will continue to make it one of my priorities to try and heal that relationship.
Gristwood believes it may be more difficult to mend the family rift after the interview, though. "It's hard to know if Harry is aware of the damage this has done," she said to Vanity Fair. "Did he actually intend to cast this damaging light on his father and his family? We don't know."
What we do know is that something has to change within the royal structure given the fact that they seem to have learned very little from the tragedy of Princess Diana. Perhaps this interview will be a wake-up call for everyone in the family — once the shock of the Oprah interview has subsided.

From the creator of Desperate Housewives and Devious Maids comes a modern day Phantom of the Opera musical. Yes, Marc Cherry is making a Phantom TV show, and it could be the best-worst thing ever.
THR is reporting that ABC has ordered a script from Cherry asking for a Nashville-like series, which means there will be music, of course. But it will be modern! The series is allegedly taking place "in the sexy and cutthroat world of the modern-day music business." The drama-based show will be an hour long and penned by Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner (who also worked on the Broadway show First Date, so that gives you some insight into the kind of music we'll be dealing with, maybe).
This could either be a total nightmare or the best thing ever created. Hopefully it will be both, with a dash of Smash. The Phantom musical is the most epic, wonderful, cheeseiest Broadway show — I hope they go full Broadway nerd for it. For example:
A dark, red cloud of smoke overtakes the stage. As if conjured by musical magic The Phantom appears dead center. He's wearing leather pants, a leather jacket, and his famous "bad boy" skull mask. He plugs in his guitar. The Masquerade Ball is over, this is The Phantom's show now. The Phantom looks into the massive audience and points directly at Christine Daaé, then hits his first chord. "Your chains are still mine, you'll sing for meeeeeeee!" Christine faints, The Phantom smiles.

The other day Tyler contemplated about what kind of games are worth playing, and which one's are more or less a waste of precious time to him. It's an interesting read. He concludes that, while it's all fine and dandy as long as you're having fun, the most important aspect to him is if the game creates good memories. My first reaction to it was 'Exactly, mate!'.
He cites Heroes of the Storm as an example for games that are fun to play, yet don't leave lasting memories or feelings, making the time spent playing them meaningless to him in the grand scheme of things.
When I look back at all the games I've played I too hold those most dear that left me with lasting memories of thrilling or hilarious adventures. I even have a couple of posts in draft stage that will share some of those.
It's no surprise then that I always gravitated towards games that offer much freedom, because that makes memorable stuff to happen more likely. It's the reason why I still keep coming back to EVE after almost 13 years, and why I am more interested in sandbox style games in general.
But: everything has two sides. Thinking about this made me realize that the games I have the fondest memories of were also the ones with the highest percentage of downtime. By downtime I mean either doing a lot of extremely boring stuff, or even waiting for something to happen and essentially doing nothing.
EVE, for example, can be like that to the extreme. First you grind pretty boring missions or combat sites for hours on end to earn enough funds for your PvP ships, then you participate in fleet ops that take three hours or longer and there's not even a single hostile ship to shoot. It's not always like this of course, and when it's not it can be very awesome. Unfortunately the ratio of boringtime to awesometime has always been pretty bad for me, at least until we joined Holy Cookie.
On the other hand you have those games with pretty fixed gameplay loops, like HotS in Tyler's case or Path of Exile and Overwatch in mine, which do let you experience cool moments but don't really leave lasting memories or feelings. If you hear me tell a 'That one time at bandcamp…'-story chances are it will be about EVE, Ultima Online, Star Wars Galaxies, Black Desert or ArcheAge. Maybe Everquest II. PoE, Overwatch, Call of Duty, Destiny 2…probably not so much.
What the latter games don't have, though, is the aforementioned downtime. At all. You log in…and play. And play. And play some more. Until you log out again. It might always be pretty much the same and therefore not give me those coveted memories I want to blog or tell my buddies about, but if the gameplay is fun to me, it's fun all the time and not just a small percentage of the time with a lot of boring in between.
Now, what to do with these insights? I guess I'll just continue to play whatever I feel like at any given moment, until that one game finally comes along that has the potential for the most memorable experiences while omitting all kinds of boring gameplay and downtime.
One can dream, right?

Asian Center Expands Services,
Prepares for Harvest Moon Festival
The Asian Community & Cultural Center supports and empowers all refugees and immigrants through programs and services and advances the sharing of Asian culture and other cultural heritages with the community at large. The center provides services and education to the community through six core programs: the Youth Program, the Women's Program, the Family Resource Program, the Health Education and Advocacy Program, the Seniors Program, and the Cultural Education Program.
Over the last year, the Asian Center has continued to adapt to the changing context of COVID-19 and to provide direct services to clients. The center has now reopened, resuming many in-person group activities including the Seniors Program, Women's Program and Youth Program while continuing to offer support services virtually as needed.
One community event that went virtual last year during the height of the pandemic, was the annual Harvest Moon Festival. The Asian Center is pleased to announce that this year's event will again be open to the public. The festival is scheduled for September 19, from 4-7 PM at the Antelope Park Bandshell, 2740 A Street. The festival celebrates Asian culture and will include live music, Asian cuisine, lantern lighting, cultural performances, health and other resource information from local community organizations, and lot of other fun activities.
Besides preparing for the festival, the Asian Center is also expanding their services including custom case management support for skilled immigrant professionals, and more citizenship classes. As a result of needs emphasized by the impact of the pandemic, the Asian Center had added additional staff for health outreach, including providing evidence-based information on COVID-19, vaccination information and registration assistance, financial support, and other COVID-19 needs. The center has also begun offering digital literacy services. In addition to support services for the center's Youth Program participants, computer classes for Women's Program members, the center is pleased to offer tablet classes for the Seniors Program with free tablets provided by Aging Partners. The Asian Center tablet program allows clients who have never had a computer or tablet to use the device safely, access email, and search the internet.
Recent hate crimes in the U.S. targeting individuals of Asian descent have left many Lincoln community members feeling extremely vulnerable. The Asian Center works to combat racism, helping to inform and educate the public. Bystander intervention is one tool offered to counter harmful narratives and discrimination.
The Asian Center is very grateful for the support of donors, volunteers, and partner agencies like Partnership for Healthy Lincoln and others for the ongoing support, especially during these uncertain times. For more information about Asian Center programs and events like Harvest Moon, contact Lee Kreimer or Rebecca Reinhardt.

Use of Resin Based Systems for the Treatment of Wastewater Generated from Educational Institutes
Author(s): Deepika Kansal
Abstract: Private education institutes have come up in a large manner over last few years in north India. Many of these are located over private lands in far- off places and provide for hostel and mess facilities. The pollution control boards are therefore persuading these institutes to create their own sewage treatment facilities. This academic exercise is the research work of author on evaluation of resin based pollution control systems on laboratory scale. The need for this project is felt by the author due to large flow variations in the sewage volumes particularly during holidays which may extend over one month. The traditional sewage treatment systems get disrupted due to low feed in this period. Stabilization of biological systems two or three times in a year is considerable task with the institutes. Trials are undertaken using macroporous poly (vinylbenzyl-trimethylammonium) exchanger, a strong-base anion-exchange resin and macroporous-type anion exchange resin with a polystyrene matrix, a weak-base anion marketed for removal of organic matter. Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) reduction in the range of 50-60% is observed. With Biological Oxygen demand (BOD) standards for discharge of treated sewage over land being 100 mg/L (milligram per liter) it makes sense in undertaking pilot scale studies on resin based treatment systems for treatment of domestic sewage. The management of educational institutes can tie up with manufacturer's of wastewater treatment systems to undertake such pilot studies and help develop systems that in long are not only economical and easy to operate but also provide excellent resistance to shock loadings.

BEIJING • China's home prices posted their fastest growth in two years in April, with gains in regional centres indicating a broader recovery in the country's housing market beyond the major cities.
However, while Shanghai and Shenzhen remained the country's two hottest housing markets, there are signs recent tightening measures are beginning to temper demand in those cities.
Average new home prices in 70 cities climbed 6.2 per cent in April from a year ago, up from a 4.9 per cent rise in March, according to Reuters' calculations based on data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) yesterday.
That was the quickest year-on- year increase since April 2014, while 46 of 70 major cities tracked by the NBS saw annual price gains, increasing from 40 in March. "(Price) growth in first and second-tier cities continued to accelerate, while third-tier cities reversed declines to post growth," NBS senior statistician Liu Jianwei said in a statement.
The recovery in China's property market since late last year has been a rare bright spot in the world's second largest economy, which has been slowing amid internal restructuring and weak global demand. However, rising debt levels have also been a source of angst for policymakers who have publicly warned against excessive lending.
Shenzhen and Shanghai were still the two top performers, with home prices rising 62.4 per cent and 28 per cent from a year ago, respectively. Compared with March, however, price gains slowed, suggesting recent tightening policies might be gaining traction, with Shenzhen growth easing to 2.3 per cent from 3.7 per cent, while Shanghai growth slowed to 3.1 per cent from 3.6 per cent.

If you're like most of us, you may not know the difference between food intolerance and food sensitivity. Aren't they the same thing? They're actually really different, and they require different kinds of testing in order to help you improve your food-related quality of life. Here's what you should know about food sensitivity testing.
What is food sensitivity testing?
Just like with food intolerance, food sensitivity testing is when you submit a sample for a test in a lab, and it is used to help determine what foods are causing a problem. However, a food sensitivity test focuses more on a "historical" approach and does this through the use of a hair sample test. The hair is analyzed using bioresonance and specialized equipment to determine how your body is responding to certain foods throughout time. These results will help pinpoint the foods that you are sensitive to. Bioresonance testing has been around for many years and has been successful at helping many people get a handle on food sensitivities that they otherwise may not have known about.
Why do I need to look at food sensitivity testing?
It's not uncommon to simply consider the idea of not getting food sensitivity done simply because you don't technically have to do it, right? After all, people go their whole lives without realizing that they have a problem. So, why go through the "trouble" of supplying a sample to be tested? Whether you're aware of it or not, living with a food sensitivity could be forcing you to put up with symptoms that you otherwise could be avoiding. Common connections include:
- Joint and muscle pain: Dealing with discomfort in the muscles or joints often means that you could be dealing with a sensitivity to foods such as sugar, nuts, eggs, or even gluten. These are common complaints.
- Weight gain: If you notice that your weight is bouncing up for no clear reason (or you can't keep it down), it could be due to having a food sensitivity to processed meats or even refined carbs.
- Often weight gain doesn't get attributed to a food sensitivity, and it may not be the cause, but it certainly can play a role.
- Mood swings: For those who notice that they are dealing with moodiness, seemingly out of nowhere, it could possibly be due to a sensitivity to dairy, fruit, and wheat. When you take these things out of your diet, you may notice an improvement.
- Fatigue: Lastly, fatigue. This is a very common complaint amongst quite a few sensitivity issues. Since your body is struggling to process and digest, the rest of you gets dragged out.
- Often, corn or dairy sensitivities are known culprits.
You have the power to make your body feel better, and it could be as simple as taking a food sensitivity test to help you get there. If you recognize any of these symptoms or you haven't found success with a food intolerance test, perhaps food sensitivity testing could be the saving grace you need.

I have been observing heroes at work for the past few weeks, and occasionally one or two shine despite a system that doesn't nurture or acknowledge them. I have an elderly parent who has been in and out of hospital for prolonged inpatient stays and you realise that there are real unsung heroes in government hospitals (and, I suppose, private hospitals, too).
Healthcare as an industry is very complex. At its heart, it is about making people feel better. But the detailed elements needed to make that happen sometimes manage to obstruct and hide that essential goal. Hospitals have a lot of moving parts as their operational structure includes long hours, multiple team shifts, skillsets that need long years of preparation and training, complicated, wide-ranging equipment and machines as well as chemicals and medications. So, if you don't keep your eye on the human-to-human dimension, the goal of wellbeing can slip through the cracks.
For a patient or accompanying family member, a typical hospital day is an exercise in testing your patience. One waits for medicine to be administered; for the blood tests to give results that help diagnose and prescribe the right treatment, for nursing staff to shift sleeping positions, check blood pressure and change the sheets, and for doctors on their rounds, doctors-in-training in tow, asking questions in a clinical, unempathetic voice to understand the situation and bark instructions at technicians, residents and nurses. Those are the moments that punctuate the monotonous, long hours of the day spent in the cacophony of hospital sounds: moaning patients, electronic beeps, alarms going off, people speaking, trollies being pushed, and instructions being demanded.
So, in this desensitised environment, how can people connect? How can those in pain feel that a caregiver is not mechanical? This is when the heroes step in. Instead of capes, heroes can wear sterilised, white clothes, soundless rubber shoes and hold medical tools instead of swords. They are heroes not due to special powers but because of the glint in their eyes and the smile on their face. They are the people who administer the medical care but never once forget that the patient needs to be heard, seen, sympathized with, and then soothed in words and deeds.
I have seen these heroes over the past weeks. The ones with a warm smile and who ask caring questions. When they look at the patient in his bed, they see a human in need, not a sick body. They want to elevate that person from feeling weak and unattended to planting hope for the patient and her loved ones. And they do so despite the discord of illness, machines, hierarchy, processes. They do it because they care.
In the Service Hero annual cross-industry Customer Satisfaction Index, private hospitals rate 73.8 in the UAE and 73.4 in Kuwait both in the bottom tier among the 15-plus industry categories measured. Only the top repeat hospital In Kuwait scores in the mid-80s. That leading organisation has been able to create an environment that makes caring and heroic deeds contagious. In the others, the hero is a lone-ranger, someone who is swimming against a tide of robotic treatment.>
Note - Scores 10-100 with 100 being highest. Feedback is collected from 24,074 validated consumer assessments in the Service Hero Customer Satisfaction Index for the UAE running all throughout 2017 for over 300 brands.
So how can companies cultivate heroes rather than robots? By declaring service excellence a top priority, engaging with teams to ensure that empathy is given, and by seeing the key way to cultivate loyalty and creating an environment that encourages relationship building as the core business practice to get customers to repeat their business and recommend a brand.

Bournville RFC played host to what has become a fixture in the representative calendar on Sunday as the Irish Exiles and ISRFC Lambs met for their annual fixture.
The two have played some great games down the years and Sunday was to prove another as the Exiles took a 46-24 victory. Both played some wonderful attacking rugby, the Lambs' 'Fast And Free' ethos proving, as ever, to inspire an attacking and high scoring approach from both sides.
Even watching the short highlight clip below a sense of the spirit of the game can be seen.
For the Lambs of course these games are in a way the end product, they have four fixtures and then a tour of South Africa on the card this season (you can see their team for Sunday's game against London Scottish here: Lambs XV v London Scottish), for the Irish Exiles though this game represents another step along the pathway to potential Irish representation.
Already this month there have been two Irish Qualified Rugby (IQ Rugby) Development Days and there is another chance for Irish qualified players to enter the system next month at the IRFU Exiles Festival at Trent College on the 18th February.
The Festival is for any Irish qualified player, through birth or the birth of a parent or grandparent in Ireland, born in 2003 or 2004 and you can register to attend here: Irish Exiles National Festival Registration.
Should you be unavailable on that date though or born in a different year, you can still sign up to IQ Rugby at www.IQRugby.ie and click register and staff will be in touch to discuss the IRFU player pathway and potential opportunities.
IRFU Exiles National Festival Details:
Who is eligible:
All Players born in 2003 or 2004 (irrespective of whether they attended the IRFU Exiles October Development days)

I started this blog with this song, and a year and a half later it's come around again.
Man, they taught me to talk
Then told me to shut up
I never cared
But, man, it cut
Do you even 'Slang?
Last Saturday I went to a five-band punk-stravaganza (Punk Rock BBQ!) at the Little Harpeth Brewing taproom. It's a great venue! It's a huge warehouse. So I thought I'd show you some photos from that show - I really loved it.
I chose to show these images in black-and-white. Why? The Light, yo. It was a combination of stage lighting and natural light from the warehouse door and window. This can be tricky to work with, but I'm not afraid of that. The combination makes some interesting texture that I love in black and white. Bands presented in order of lineup!
Second Self is new. But not naive, 'cause it contains veteran members of other bands, like Nashville locals the Lonesome Town Drifters. Here's a track by Second Self, and catch them on Instagram.
Big, If True is another Nashville-area band. Their quirky punk is super-fun! Check out their song Lenny Kravitz is a Serial Killer (and We Think You Ought to Know) and follow on Instagram.
Forsaken Profits was loud and noisy. Yeah. Music at link, and follow them here on Instagram.
I straight-up loved Rough Dreams! Here's a track to listen to Jack and Jawbreaker and you can follow them on Instagram Here.
Last, but not least - The local heroes Lonesome Town Drifters. Listen to I'll Let you Down and follow them on Instagram
Every band was awesome and high-energy (as you might expect) and I had a great time making photographs.
Catch some live music this weekend (I know I will be) and be excellent to each other!

A 38-year-old Lubbock man accused of sexually abusing a 15-year-old boy two years ago was indicted Tuesday.
Christopher Johnson is charged with a count of sexually assault of a child and indecency with a child by sexual contact.
Prosecutors believe he sexually abused the boy at least two times in April 2018.
Johnson's charges stem from a Lubbock police investigation in February after the boy's parent told him that Johnson molested him, according to an arrest warrant.
The boy told a Children's Advocacy Center forensic interviewer that the abuse happened when he was in the 7th grade.
He said he was asleep and awoke to Johnson inappropriately touching him. He said Johnson told him to relax and ignored him when he told him "no" before performing a sexual act on him. The boy told the interviewer the abuse happened again a week later, the warrant states.
He said the abuse haunted him and made sleeping difficult, which is why he told a parent.
CPS records show that in 2014, 2018 and 2019, investigators looked into allegations that Johnson sexually abused other children. However, the allegations were closed because the children did not make an outcry.
A warrant for Johnson's arrest was issued July 9. He arrested on July 14 and was booked into the the Lubbock County Detention Center where he remains. His bond is set at $75,000.
Court records show he is being represented by Lubbock attorney Chris Wanner.

Summary: Just after breaking up from her boyfriend, Yoo Na Bi meets Park Jae Eon, an art student like her in the university that she's in. She's instantly attracted to him but he's the type who doesn't date. Mutually, they agree to meet. However, their relationship cause insecurities and gossips which is affecting Yoo Na Bi's studies.
Genre: Romance
Episodes: 10
Stars: Song Kang as Park Jae Eon
Han So Hee as Yoo Na Bi
Chae Jong Hyup as Yang Do Hyuk
Lee Yeol Eum as Yoon Seol Ah
Likes: The focus on art studies, students and its classroom setting made this drama a special one. I love the details on the project-making: sculpting, carving, solding, drawing, sketching, then there's the use of wood, metal, clay and other materials. I've never been to an art school so it's fascinating to see how it would look like.
Addicting attraction. The main story is centered on a very strong attraction between the lead characters. I like how this thing is being highlighted. Obviously, there are people who value this over relationships or attachment. There are also group of people who wants both, which could be more challenging but not impossible.
Main love team. Great chemistry between Park Jae Eon and Yoo Na Bi! They simply look good together. Their intimate moments were well-shot. Kudos to the lady director of this drama. Although, I was so swayed by Yang Do Hyuk, I still thought Jae Eon and Na Bi had something more in common. Would the two last though? I think that's not the point but how they would enjoy being together as long as they'd last.
Other love teams. Plenty in this drama! But my favourite is Yoon Sol and Ji Wan! Theirs is the most likeable, unconventional pairing. The chemistry between the two was strong. And I just love how Yoon Sol would look at Ji Wan with so much love and admiration. One could feel the sincerity!
The seaside. I just thought that seaside town was beautiful! If I were Na Bi, the choice was easy. Fall in love with Do Hyuk and stay in that place. The view of the water from Do Hyuk's restaurant was like a painting!
The finished art. Love Na Bi's sculpture with wings. That was the highlight of the last episode for me.
The Ending. You have to make sure you'll be happy with your choice and you stand by it. Na Bi's choice was hers and if that made her happy so be it.
Dislikes: Park Jae Eon's character was too weak. Handsome face but lacking substance. The only strong feature about him is his passion in art. Driving a Maserati was a turn-off, but well, we could blame the sponsor for that.

I do tend to make the same patterns over and over and over… I guess patterns are a bit like books, recipes or even friends – some you just enjoy more than others. I kid, I kid.
I love Koigu, but I don't care to order it and it comes in a totally different color. This time I ordered from Jimmy Beans Wool and this was pretty spot on, so that was nice. Look at all the colors they have!! I was in heaven.
So here is my purple Koigu cowl. I plan to sell it in my Etsy shop. If you haven't tried Koigu, you should know it softens so much after washing and it fades and fuzzes a little over time but it's still so pretty.
Find it on Etsy
Find it on Ravelry
Here are some pictures…

Siva, former singer of the band The Wanted, releases single titled "Ready For This Love" on Friday, November 20th. The single is being released by Rukus Avenue.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, November 17, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — For Immediate Release
Multi-platinum pop artist Siva is bringing you back to the age of innocence with his catchy new single 'Ready For This Love,' releasing worldwide on all platforms on November 20th. Inspired by expressing his personal experiences in a feel-good relatable love song, Siva was driven by the desire of connecting people in the toughest of times.
Beginning with a captivating melody and combined with a modern 80's rhythm, Siva embraces the simplicity of love within his roots of pop music. On November 27th, Siva will debut a music video that is directed by Emmy nominated Rohit Karn Batra. The music video brings together people from all walks of life and captures the essence of a timeless & unconditional love.
This infectious track is a reminder of the innocent nature of falling in love for the first time. As you hear the track, it begins with an ethereal synth that slowly leads into Siva's distinct vocals creating an undeniable symphony of sound. The slickly produced track folds in Siva's rhythmic delivery as the song crescendos into the chorus lyrics. The melody is undeniable, but what's more remarkable is the congeniality of Siva's voice.
Siva first began writing this track in Sweden where he felt a resurgence of love and gratitude. "My inspiration for this track began with an initial feeling that gradually unfolded into melodies, harmonies, and lyrics." Siva's new single takes the listener on a journey of remembrance of what it was like to discover an inner desire and let loose, but it's weaved together with a catchy pop-filled beat. "If this record celebrates raw emotions and the fragility of blossoming young love, then Siva nails it, " notes Sammy Chand, Chairman of Rukus Avenue, "This is undeniable, you feel the vibe from the moment it comes on"
Born in Ireland and the youngest of eight kids to a Sri Lankan father and Irish mother, Siva's musical roots are grounded in Soul, Motown, and R&B, which flourished during his adolescence. In hopes of overcoming a speech impediment, he sang when he couldn't speak, and mimicked his favorites like Sade and Lionel Richie whenever he got the chance. Upon reaching young adulthood, he moved to London and had his first music audition that led to securing his spot as a member of the world famous boy band The Wanted in 2009.
After achieving a #1 on Billboard's music charts for the hit single, 'Glad You Came' and multiple world tours, Siva decided to pave his solo career. Following a very successful song cycle with his smooth R&B record, "Breathe In", the multi-platinum star will continue to move the heart's of the world with this next single and video. Both pieces of art are rooted in the one intrinsic thing humans value the most; Love. Are you ready for it?

Minimalism and Earthworks
Richard Serra, "Torqued Ellipse IV"
Video transcript
Voiceover: When Richard Serra first became interested in bending plates of steel over 25 years ago he felt he'd had little experience with large scale curved surfaces. Richard: I realized that there wasn't a large vocabulary of building with curvilinear forms particularly in a city that's made up of right angles. The only curvature building I can think of of any node in the city at that time was Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum. I wanted to build something that would inform my experience. If you walk around the curve you don't know how it's going to round. It seems continuous and never ending. The concave side, like a cave, reveals itself in its entirety. You know what the form is. Voiceover: You'll see that difference immediately when you reach the opening and step into Torqued Ellipse IV. Richard: As you step inside, the piece seems to have a great elasticity as it moves around and it either leans over your head or leans away from you depending on where you are. You can see that the ellipse on the floor is exactly the same as the ellipse in the sky. As the piece gets higher it rotates in relation to itself, but it's the same all the way up. Initially, the way this piece was conceived was through a kind of misinterpretation. I happened to be in Rome and walked into a church that was built in the 15th century and I looked at the floor and I looked at the ceiling and I thought that the simple ellipse on the floor was turned in relationship to the one overhead. When I walked to the center of the floor I realized that it was just a regular ellipse that rose like an elliptical cylinder straight up. What interested me was my misinterpretation. Voiceover: Serra became determined to create the form he had imagined. He went to an arrow space engineer and asked him if it was possible to make such a twisted or a torqued form. Richard: He said he didn't think so. The solution to that problem doesn't occur in nature and it doesn't occur in architecture. It's a formal invention. The first model took 3 years to be built because we couldn't find a computer program or a steel mill that knew how to build these things. The first one we tried to build we broke a 40 foot plate, 2 inches thick right in half. It sounded like lightning and I thought I'd bought the farm. I turned completely white. The technology has been developed to allow one to bend metal under heavy compression and we used very large machines, first used to build battleships in the 2nd World War. People really hadn't really explored the potential for what steel could be in terms of it's variabilities and elasticity. It's only recently been explored by a few people.

A minor amendment has been made to the Industrial Design Regulations repealing section 12(3). The Standing Committee for the Scrutiny of Regulations advised that an inconsistency between the English and French versions of the Industrial Design Act meant the section may be invalid.
Section 12(3) of the Industrial Design Regulations provided that:
Documents filed in electronic form in connection with applications and registered designs must be in an electronic format specified by the Commissioner in the Canadian Patent Office Record.
According to the Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement for the amendment:
The Committee then pointed out that subsection 12(3) of the Industrial Design Regulations prescribes the form of an application by the Commissioner of Patents in the Canadian Patent Office Record, which is supported by the broader English text, but not by the French text. The Committee therefore concluded that subsection 12(3) of the Regulations is invalid and requested that CIPO take steps to rectify this situation.
CIPO is of the view that to otherwise amend the Act to correct this one inconsistency is not feasible at this moment. CIPO has, however, determined that removing subsection 12(3) would have no impact on the effectiveness of the Regulations, but still satisfy the Committee's concerns.
The form of correspondence addressed to the Commissioner, including electronic means is specified in Section 3(6) of the Regulations:
3(6) Correspondence addressed to the Commissioner may be sent at any time by electronic or other means of transmission specified by the Commissioner in the Canadian Patent Office Record.

Favorite Tattoo Artist Blog
Tommy replied to AlannaCA's topic in General Tattoo DiscussionRobert is one of the most genuine fellas I have met in tattooing. Mike too. It shows in their shop. Good creative atmosphere but still firmly rooted in tattooing. And Robert's rehearsal space is like an alternate universe to the Jersey shore. Also if anyone is ever going there, the pinball museum is also just down the street and is worth a look, it's a nice little town.
Who do you think deserves some recognition?
Tommy replied to Iwar's topic in General Tattoo DiscussionI reckon Rich Fie in Queens in New York deserves some recognition for keeping the old hard style New York tattooing alive. His shop is covered floor to ceiling, wall to wall in hand painted flash by either him or Rob Freund or Dave Mowers, anyone can walk in anytime and get a genuine east coast style tattoo anytime, no big deals. And he's a real genuine fella who gives back as much as he takes from tattooing. A gentleman.
Tommy replied to kylegrey's topic in Crazy Tattoo StoriesIf yer lucky you could get Bob and Ray on the same day, no one does Baby Ray style black n grey or talks Baby Ray style shit like Baby Ray. Ya could even get tattooed by Charlie, he has to be the youngest bona fide living legend.
It's called Permanent Mark and it's on that Spike tv website, spike.com, they have the full episodes [3] and you can just watch them straight away there. He goes to Borneo, Tokyo and Bangkok. It's not bad and he put a bit of effort into it, trying to show people some tattoo culture and keep it interesting without turning it into some kind of freak show or drama for voyeurs and emotional vampires.
Would you let your kid get tattooed before 18?
Tommy replied to Gia Dobson's topic in General Tattoo DiscussionGia, hope yer well, my young fella tormented me for years, but never actually got the tattoo, 26 and he still has none, the middle one I told to wait till she was 18 cause she is a girl and I reckon girls should wait, haha, but she went and got 2 tattoos, so I ended up doing a nice 3/4 sleeve on her, it's nice, she had a baby with her fella, it's a boy and I'll drill him when he's 8 or 9[joke]. Anyway, the youngest girl, I told her if she really wanted I'd tattoo her anytime because of what happened with the middle one but she waited till she was 19, I think because I said I'd do it anytime, that way there was no rush. OK, peace out, hope life is good over there.
Permanent Mark's show was way better than this but hardly anyone was talking about that.
haggling 101A
Tommy replied to Shannon Shirley's topic in General Tattoo DiscussionI just read all this. It's a wind up, isn't it? How to price a tattoo and deal with customers is stuff you learn before you even learn how to make a stencil. However if this is serious, decide what the work is worth to you and if the other person doesn't think it's worth the same, that's ok, don't take it personal, maybe they're naive, maybe they're ignorant, or maybe they just can't afford it. If thgere is a sign on the door saying open for business, people are entitled to come in and try to do business. Having a sign prominentley displayed stating the shop minimum and some examples of what you can expect for that minimum is a big help, for the customer and for the person who is selling the tattoos. I don't want to insult ya by going any farther on this because I know you have been around a while. Also, I'm not on here to tell anyone how to run a tattoo shop so they can open one up. Most of the talk on here is art criticism, or how to heal up tattoos, what's in, what's out, who's cool, etc...and some of it is very interesting stuff, seriously. I will say that a lot of the more artistic people are in the ha'penny place compared to the scratchers when it comes to hustle and street smarts. If one man's niche is doin $20 tattoos ina basement and anothers is doing $200 an hour bodysuits, thats fine by me. It means there's a tattoo out there for everybody, and everyone can have a tattoo if they want one. And before anyone forgets........Mike Roper tattooed in his bedroom for years, Filip Leu tattooed on the beach, Paulo Sulu'ape tattooed in a hut, Freddie Corbin tattooed in his apartment. And many of the tattooers the people on here look up to started out in their kitchens. And many of them tattooed cheap, or for free. Yea, freee, swallow that one whole. For many of them, their first introduction to tattooing was getting tattooed by friends in their basements. So, before we go demonising the "scratchers", getting tattooed on the cheap in a basement, kitchen or garage is just as valid as getting tattooed in a longhouse in Borneo. It probably costs about the same, has similar sterilisation, and the lines are probably equally shakey. Not to mention the spiritual/cultural/rite of passage significance of a ghetto kid getting a ghetto tattoo in a ghetto tattoo shop. At a ghetto price. None of this is intended as a defence for idiots doing shit tattoos cheap or for arteests doing average tattoos at extortionate prices. It's just me saying that much as I can hustle, tattooing isn't a business for me, it's a practice and if I can pay my bills living this way, then that's a privilege and an honour. And a blessing. I'm grateful that I have a bit of talent and a bit of hustle. I take pride in my profession and I don't sell it short, especially not for money. I hate to not tattoo someone, but sometimes the tattoo they want isn't the tattoo they can afford, and I don't mean only in monetary terms, sometimes the persons ego is a bit big and they think they deserve more than the are entitled to. The same goes for the tattooers. Anyway, I'm sick of typing, it's not my thing.

Since 30 March this year, the level of violence in Gaza in the Occupied Palestinian Territories has significantly escalated. Over 5,000 people have been injured. While a large proportion of Gazan patients treated by MSF suffer from gunshot wounds that could potentially cause life-changing disabilities, their peers in the West Bank continue to endure the lasting impact of the Israeli occupation on their mental health. "Every day, our teams work to support people suffering psychologically as a direct result of events related to the violence, including detention of relatives, violent home and school raids, house demolitions, killing of family members, searches at checkpoints, and day to day harassments by settlers and soldiers," said Juan Carlos Ramos, MSF head of mission in Palestine.
In the West Bank city of Hebron, home to 215,000 Palestinians, MSF has been running mental health support programmes since 2001. This year alone, the teams have already provided over 6,400 people with individual or group counselling, psychotherapy, psychological first aid or psycho-educational support. The main symptoms seen among the patients include anxiety, sleeping problems, and feelings of sadness and fear. "Many of the people affected are teenagers and that will mark their adult life. At this age, they want freedom, moving around without constraints, and a future,"said Mervat Suboh, an MSF psychologist in Hebron.
Mental health problems, though prevalent in Palestine, remain a stigmatised topic. Raising awareness about the importance of mental health is therefore critical in encouraging the Palestinians to find support when needed.
