[Last updated: May 2020]
Privacy and Reputation: The ability to protect one’s personal information online, and that of others. An understanding of the digital “trail” left behind as a result of the activities one engages in online, the short- and long-term consequences of this trail, the appropriate management of one’s virtual footprint, as well as an understanding of inferred data (i.e., new data derived from capturing and analyzing other data points, which may result in new knowledge about a person (van der Hof, 2016)).
How young people navigate the digital space increases both the importance and the challenge of addressing concerns about privacy in the world today. Research has captured the variety of popular social media platforms youth now use and the extensive amounts of information young people share about themselves. Being able to use many of these platforms simultaneously, enables youth to channel various aspects of themselves in creative expression, identity formation, and social experimentation — all relevant parts of youth life.
Contrary to popular assumptions, research suggests that youth very much care about, contemplate, and manage their privacy online. However, their conceptual understanding of privacy (while it continues to evolve) tends to be different from the one of adults. Rather than conceiving of privacy as a matter of institutional risks involving strangers and eager third parties, youth often view the concept as more of a social concern (“What can my friends see?”) and manage their privacy in relation to people they already know. Moreover, young people report learning about privacy largely on their own by way of searching for information or intuitively stumbling upon it.
Acknowledging that youth perceive and may learn about privacy differently than adults does not diminish adult concerns, many of which are valid. Today, digital information about young people is collected, stored, and searched at an unprecedented rate, no longer checked by laborious paper record-keeping or costly data storage. Neither youth nor their parents have control over how this information is handled by third parties, as data is frequently gathered, accessed, disclosed, copied, and sold without consent or knowledge. Meanwhile, online reputation has an increasingly large sway over a young person’s future social, academic, and professional prospects.

For more than 100 years, our partnerships with neighborhood centers have been critical to the well-being of inner city children, youth, adults, seniors and families. The following neighborhood centers have helped to transform hundreds of thousands lives for the better since our inception.
United Communities Southeast Philadelphia
United Communities Southeast Philadelphia is a non-profit agency in the settlement house tradition serving children, adults and families residing in Southeast Philadelphia. For the past 40 years, United Communities has carried out the original settlement mission to promote the educational and economic advancement of individuals and families within its host neighborhoods. It works to foster social and economic justice and to build self-sustaining communities through: advocacy that promotes member participation and leadership; economic programs for enhancing community development; social programs supporting individual and family well-being; and educational opportunities that advance skill development and knowledge building.
The Village of the Arts and Humanities
The Village of Arts and Humanities’ mission is to build community through innovative arts, educational, social, construction, and economic and youth development programs. In all of its projects and activities, the Village seeks to support justice to the humanity and social conditions of people who live in inner city North Philadelphia and in similar urban communities.
Today, the Village is a multi-faceted, professionally staffed, arts organization, governed by a community-based board of directors. The Village has received numerous local and international awards and citations for innovation and achievement, and earned high marks within the community for serving thousands of low-income, primarily underserved African Americans. However, North Philadelphia could well be anywhere around the globe where people suffer due to cultural differences or economic inequities; and that is why the Village’s programs resonate so strongly worldwide.
North Light Community Center
North Light Community Center is a multi-service community based non-profit agency located in Manayunk and serving many surrounding neighborhoods. North Light provides a wide variety of programs and services such as a food cupboard, day care for school aged children, tutoring, scholarship programs for students, teen employment, a computer lab with public access, & arts and recreation which provide the kind of self-help that many residents need and cannot find elsewhere. These programs offer critical access and nourish personal growth, positively impacting youth, strengthening families and enriching the community. North Light serves over 2,700 people annually with a small staff and over 300 dedicated volunteers making a positive difference in the community.
Legacy Christian Academy
Legacy, a faith-based organization located in the heart of West Philadelphia, has been providing a safe and stimulating environment for youth for 38 years. Its mission is to aid youth in becoming self-sufficient individuals mentally, physically, socially and morally so that they can meet the demands of a rapidly changing society. It believes that the performance of today’s youth is contingent on the value of a quality education, personal enrichment and a genuine respect for others, designed to enhance the quality of life. In addition to a private elementary academic license, it serves over 100 families each year through an outreach ministry that provides educational services, youth programs, a food pantry, and emergency assistance.
Established as a settlement house serving new immigrants who had no Philadelphia city services, the Lighthouse has been in continuous operation serving the Kensington and North Philadelphia communities for more than 115 years. It has grown into a multi-service, multi-age provider to a multi-cultural community. It offers educational, recreational and economic improvement programs that provide partner families and individuals the opportunity to effect positive change to improve the quality of their lives.
Lutheran Settlement House
Lutheran Settlement House (LSH) was established as a non-profit, nonsectarian, community-based organization, committed to serving vulnerable children, adults, and families living in Philadelphia. Over the past century, the focus of the organization has changed in response to the changing needs of the community. However, the core mission of Lutheran Settlement House — “to empower individuals, families, and communities to achieve and maintain self-sufficiency” — has remained constant. LSH integrates social, educational and advocacy services through programs such as: Bilingual Domestic Violence, Community Education & Employment, Homeless Services and, Senior Center and Services. It serves more than 14,000 individuals each year.
Diversified Community Services
Though its history dates back 150 years, Diversified Community Services (DCS) has been an anchor organization in South Philadelphia since it was officially incorporated in 1970 through the merger of the Western Soup Society (1840s) and the University of Pennsylvania Settlement Houses and Camps (early 1900s). DCS has evolved into the largest human services agency in Point Breeze. With 130 employees operating from multiple sites, DCS serves over 8,000 children, youth and families each year through a wide array of services. Its core program includes early childhood education, children and youth services, adult and family services, housing counseling and job readiness assistance.
Grace Safe Place
The mission of Grace Safe Place, a community outreach program of Grace United Methodist Church in West Oak Lane, is to provide a safe, caring environment for juveniles and their families in the Greater Philadelphia area. It offers educational enrichment, mutual respect/life skills training and social activities. Over 250 families are served annually through the Grace Pre-School and Day Care, Summer Camp, and Parent Enrichment programs.
An independent organization founded by the Society of the Holy Child Jesus in 1993, Providence Center serves the Fairhill/West Kensington section of North Philadelphia, providing educational opportunities to children, youth, and adults. While serving the whole community, most of our students come from Fairhill’s large Latino population, and we help them to strengthen their English language skills, build their leadership abilities, and contribute to the vibrant life of our community. Our area of the city struggles with high rates of poverty and crime, and Providence Center provides a neighborhood center that values the dignity of each person, creating a safe and hospitable place for learning.
Providence Center provides services in three main program areas – Adult Education, Youth Empowerment, and Community Building.
The Nicetown Community Development Corporation has a mission to dynamically improve the quality of life in Nicetown and surrounding communities, by establishing sustainable community economic development.
The NTCDC was founded in 1999 by members who collectively bring decades of experience in developing the community. Our expertise has been the foundation for stabilizing and developing Nicetown’s local economy, affordable housing, and open spaces. We directly provide supportive services, community education & organizing, land care, and special events coordination. The NTCDC headquarters is located at 4414 Germantown Avenue, a historically significant property recognized by the Philadelphia City Planning Commission as one of the strengths of Nicetown.

Join me in my own manor, Highbury, in London's Islington.the home of Arsenal Football Club
My tour centres on Highbury Fields, the largest green space in the Borough of Islington. This is where Hugh Grant lived in the film Four Weddings and Funeral. It's a lovely corner of secret London and we made a little film about it. Click here to see it.
Islington is just north of the City of London. It’s been home to high-profile figures including fashion designer Alexander McQueen, singer Sade and author Angela Levy. Politicians of all persuasions seem to love the neighbourhood too. Boris Johnson, Tony Blair and Jeremy Corbyn have all at some point called the place home.
At the heart of the borough are Canonbury, Barnsbury and Highbury. Highbury once comprised monastic lands belonging to the Priory of St John of Jerusalem. Henry VIII broke with Rome in 1534, dissolving England’s monasteries and giving this patch of land to his right-hand man Thomas Cromwell - he of Wolf Hall fame. The unfortunate Cromwell had little time to enjoy his new acquisition: Henry had him beheaded in 1540.
In these more peaceful times, Highbury is the home of football. Arsenal FC has played here since 1913, moving into the 60,000-capacity Emirates Stadium in 2006. Highbury is also home to the borough’s greenest spaces, from nature reserves reclaimed from railway yards, to the elegant Highbury Fields. This is a green oasis fringed with fine Victorian and Georgian properties. It’s the largest open space in the borough at 11 hectares, and was purchased for public use in 1885.
Here are five things you probably didn't know about this picturesque corner of north London.
1. Highbury Fields was not the home of Jack the Ripper, probably
Turn of the century ‘Camden Town Group’ artist Walter Sickert lived in Highbury Place. He was a pupil of Whistler and his work is certainly dark and broody. Author Patricia Cornwell was so convinced Sickert was Jack the Ripper that she penned two controversial tomes on the topic. She maintains readers would rather enjoyyou the mystery than have a solution. The debate continues.
2. Highbury is home to one of the corniest lines in cinema history
“Is it raining? … I hadn’t noticed,” a love-struck Andie MacDowell says to a bumbling Hugh Grant, outside 22 Highbury Terrace in Four Weddings and a Funeral. Grant’s expletive-laden rant at the start of the movie took place at nearby Highbury Corner.
3. Britain’s first gay rights demo was held here. The Gay Liberation Front led a candelit procession on 27 November 1970 in protest at the recent Highbury Fields arrest of Louis Eakes, a young gay man. This was a watershed moment for British society. Homosexuality had only been legalised in 1967 but many aspects of life for gay men still remained criminalised into the 1970s.
4. They dug for victory. Highbury suffered during wartime. The Fields themselves were given over to growing fruit and veg for the neighbourhood. Two rocket bombs fell nearby in 1944. One of them scored a direct hit on Highbury Corner, destroying the station, claiming 28 lives and hurting 150 others.
5. The Anne Frank tree lives on. In 2010, a storm destroyed the beautiful Horse Chestnut tree outside Anne Frank’s former home in Amsterdam. Fortunately cuttings were taken before it fell. One was transplanted in Highbury Fields at a special event in 2018. Guest of honour was Dr Eva Schloss, an 87-year old Auschwitz survivor, who described the young sapling as “A symbol of hope”.
Join me on a walking or bike tour of Highbury and I'll tell you the story of the area, incorporating these five things and much more besides. Here's my film about Highbury.

STEM CELL PHYSICIANS NETWORK
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a candidate for Orthopedic Stem Cell Therapy?
In the past if a patient had serious joint dysfunction or persistent musculoskeletal pain i.e. in the knee, back, shoulder, elbow, hips, neck, wrists, etc. their options were very limited. The typical protocol or choices were; pain medication, steroid shots and anti-inflammatories and see how you would do. Lastly, the patient would be facing joint replacement surgery and hope it was successful.
Today you have another choice!
Many scientists and doctors agree that Stem Cells are the medicine of the future. As far as orthopedic problems go, this approach is now available and for many, may very well be the treatment of choice and yield a far superior result than more conventional approaches.
What does the treatment involve and how does it work?
The procedure is non-surgical and performed in an outpatient environment. Approximately 60-100 ccs (some cases more) are harvested from a patient’s own belly fat. After numbing the skin, this mini-liposuction procedure is done with large syringes under low pressure and takes about 45 minutes. The stem cells are isolated through a special process in a lab that takes about 90 minutes. Then the isolated stem cells with growth factors are mixed with a simple blood draw (called Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP). Next the stem cell/PRP combo is injected at the specific joint and ligament sites that are the root cause of the problem. The stem cells will remain alive for about 6 months and will continue to regenerate and rebuild the damaged tissues during that period. Within 2-4 hours the patient can go home.
When is stem cell therapy and PRP recommended?
PRP (platelet rich plasma) is prepared in about 45 minutes from a simple blood draw. PRP represent natural growth factors that can activate your naturally occurring stem cells. If the damage is not too severe and has not been there too long, PRP by itself might take care of it. If the damage or injury is more severe, stem cells with PRP may be required for faster and more complete healing. PRP usually takes three sessions to complete the healing. Spacing post visits at least 2 weeks apart to allow healing to occur.
What kinds of problems can stem cells treat and what is the success rate? How long do the benefits last?
Our findings are that stem cells have the capacity to regenerate all types of tissues, which includes; cartilage, bone, ligaments and tendons. Stem cells detect specific damaged tissue(s) and then repair them selectively. Results up to 80% for conditions i.e. bone-on-bone arthritis of the knee and hip, rotator cuff, various types of back pain and neck pain and many other chronic orthopedic issues can be anticipated. If the stem cell therapy is a success and the joint or connective tissue structure is regenerated, there is every reason to believe that this will be a long-term solution.
How long before patients improve and what is the follow-up?
Patients often ask how long before they feel improvement. Stem cells rely on a patients own healing response so it is impossible to predict who will heal faster. In some patients, in some joints the stem cells will ignite fast and heal rapidly and the patient may notice marked improvements even within the first week. For others, the process may take 6 weeks before they experience improvement. For those who have a very chronic condition a 4-6 week PRP follow-up treatment may be most beneficial.
Is stem cell therapy safe?
Orthopedic Stem Cell therapy is a minimally invasive and very safe procedure. There is only minimal soreness after their mini liposuction and the injections. There is no risk of infection as the stem cells are those of the patient. Common sense activities without weight bearing loads plus stretching for the first few weeks is helpful stem cell regeneration and tissue repair.
How much does stem cell therapy cost and does insurance cover it?
Stem cell therapy sessions vary among physicians. A blood draw plus the mini-liposuction procedure, lab fees etc. could range from $2,000.00 – $7,000.00 per site – example knee or shoulder joint. For a more complex joint such as lumbar spine or hip or multiple sites the costs can be as high as $8,000.00+. Some physicians will discount the 2nd or 3rd sites by 50%. Many patients have two areas that require attention. In this case the second area is discounted 50%.
If the patient cannot afford stem cell therapy they can still benefit from PRP therapy. Though it would take several additional sessions, there is still hope for tissue repair and healing. There is high expectation that insurance companies will be covering this technology in the near, future. Some stem cell clinics offer payment plans.
How many stem cell treatments does a patient need? How long is recovery time?
Depending on the tissue damage, severity of the condition, the size of area that needs to be injected and most importantly patients healing capability. Patients usually need only one treatment unless their condition is very severe in which case additional treatment are recommended. Each treatment is independent of all the others, meaning each treatment by itself has benefits, there is usually no down time and the patient can go back to work or their usual activities immediately.
What is the most important reason people want this treatment?
It depends upon the individual. Some want to just be pain free, some are looking for range of motion, some need more strength, some want to go back to activities that brought them this far such as playing Golf, Tennis, Dance, Soccer, Football. For some others, it is important not to think twice about getting up only to get a glass of water or just being able to walk again. In general people like to be functional again.

Handy Baby Mobiles
Baby mobiles are more than just a pretty feature in the room, they are a learning tool for your new baby and a way to help further their development.
When they are listening to the music, they may start to move their heads around to try and find where it is coming from, move their heads along with the tune that is coming from the mobile and even start to reach their arms and hands up to try and reach the mobile (make sure it is not actually in reach of them)
This may not sound like much but it is actually a really good way to start developing those skills whilst they are young. Brain development is one of the most important things for a child to be developing. Believe it or not having a hanging music mobile in your nursery is going to help immensely with their brain development.
By laying and watching the different toys moving around, listening in on the different tunes coming from the baby mobile and being able to pick up different motions and trying to touch the mobile will help to not only develop their motor skills but also help with their brain development and spatial reasoning.
It is also a great way to start helping your child to form an imagination and shape them into creating their own little comfort place. Talking with your baby and pointing out the different toys and what they are will also help to further their development. They won’t be able to say the words back to you but in time you may start to say the toy and they will try to reach for that one knowing what is it.
Take the time to choose a baby mobile that not only looks pretty but will help to further the development of your new baby. There are a range of different music baby mobiles available on the market these days and you are sure to find one that fits in with the theme of your nursery ?

The Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks are home to a rich ecosystem bustling with rare and native species including coastal scrub oak, black sage, and prickly pear cactus. Southern California’s recent heavy rains led to an early wildflower season this year, and many of the Landmarks are beginning to bloom ahead of spring. Pops of color are sprouting amidst annual plant life, and nature lovers are welcome to enjoy the sights and smells of wildflowers by registering for a free public program.
OC Park’s Limestone Canyon Nature Preserve is sprouting with common wildflowers including arroyo lupine (Lupinus succulentus) and lovely Mariposa lilies (Calochortus). Visitors to OC Park’s Black Star Canyon Wilderness Park can travel the many trails and spot California lilacs (Ceanothus) and keep an eye out for bright yellow fiddlenecks (Amsinckia). In the City of Irvine, trekkers enjoying the Turtle Ridge Trail in Bommer Canyon can spot elusive shooting stars (Dodecatheon meadia) and visitors to Orchard Hills can admire vibrant blue hyacinths.
The coming wildflower season is also a sign that butterflies are on their way. Native and rare wildflowers help butterflies and other pollinators thrive, giving them access to nectar and pollen resources throughout the growing season. The number of butterflies will increase with the season, and outdoor enthusiasts can often spot them in OC Parks’ Upper Newport Bay. Native plants and wildflowers are highly adapted to the local climate and conditions, and help support the communities of pollinators that rely on them and ideally increase their numbers.
OC Parks, City of Irvine, and City of Newport Beach offer a variety of programs where visitors can appreciate wildflowers in bloom while connecting with the land. Whether registering for a docent-led activity or exploring the open spaces during self-guided access, wildflower season is waiting for you in the great outdoors. Click the programs below to register for a free program and enjoy the many blooms of the season.
- Wildflower Showcase on Sat. 3/4 kicks off at 10 a.m. and welcomes outdoor enthusiasts of all ages to admire Orange County native wildflowers in bloom. Visit the Native Seed Farm and learn about 45 different local plant species grown onsite while enjoying the views of the land. Pack a picnic lunch and join a guided walking tour.
- The Natural History of Baker Canyon on Sun., 3/19 welcomes nature lovers to enjoy views of the Santa Ana Mountains as well as the wildflowers and plants of oak-shaded Baker Canyon. Travel along a 3.5-mile hike and learn about the local habitat.
- Dig In! Plant With Us at the Native Seed Farm is a reoccurring stewardship program always looking for volunteers to harvest seeds from native spring wildflowers. Take in the sights of the 14-acre farm and help the Landmarks by harvesting seeds from local wildflowers. All tools and training are provided, and nature lovers age 8 and older are welcome.
- Buck Gully Reserve in Newport Beach is open daily from dawn to dusk, where it’s common to see bush sunflower (Encelia californica) in bloom along the trails.
- Bommer Canyon is also open for self-guided access on designated trails, where sticky monkeyflower (Mimulus aurantiacus) and popcorn flower (Cryptantha intermedia) have been known to sprout.
Irvine Ranch Conservancy offers a full calendar of spring activities and free, guided programs that include hiking, mountain bike rides, horseback riding, habitat restoration and special events for nature enthusiasts of all ages and fitness skill levels.

I have come to the conclusion that hope is what we want it and make it to be. I can't talk, walk and everything between but I can still hope. It's pretty embarrassing being 20 and having some people look at me different like I'm 2. The funny thing is when people think I know something but I took 20 years to find out Genovia isn't a real country.Do you really think I know the secret of life?
"I thought a lot today about things inside but I couldn't tell anyone." I wrote, well I have the people around me write in 2 journals each night. That's what I had written for yesterday. It's true I think a lot-normally but I cant say it. It stinks.
I don't really do anything besides eat and sleep but visitors exhaust me, so I'll update everybody this way.
I'm not doing well but I have a lot of peace. That's what counts I guess.
So I'm still hanging in there. Barely but surely. And I'll keep hanging until I can sew (with energy) again.
And a big thanks for your love, prayers and kind words--

Today begins July, meaning Summer is at its halfway point. Part of me is freaking out about the fact that only a month remains - schoolwork to do, novels to read, housework to complete, Jackson at daycare to prepare for, and sunburns and scars to acquire - but the other part of me appreciates that it has been a month of no real job to do beyond new fathering. I've forgotten what the date is and what day of the week it is. I haven't woken up before eight without going back to sleep as soon as possible. I have the daytime TV schedule down - 10 = TPIR, 11 = News, 12 = Family Feud, 1 = Trivial Pursuit, 2 = Time to get out of funk and move away from TV. I know when ABC plays my favorite summer show, Wipeout - 7 on Wednesdays, Sunday and Saturday afternoons sporadically. (Tonight's episode has our cousin Michael's new wife, Shannon, as a contestant! Welcome to the family and know we are forever jealous!) We've begun rewatching about five How I Met Your Mother episodes at a time. The grill is used about four times a week, the dogs are always happy, the lawn is getting watered, I am about five minutes away from liberating Hyrule again, and yesterday Rob made it through the entire day without going outside at all. It's Summertime alright, and I am very relaxed.
Noelle is not so lucky. She is about a month away from her Masters, and the classload this Summer is insane. She always has something to read, something to write, somewhere to be. Her job at school is also constantly dragging her back to the office. She has done a lot of work this past year to make our school run better, and she has to make sure this Summer is not a reset button for that work. All she wants is time with the boy, but if you know Noelle, you know she is always working towards a better future while handling a challenging present with grace. She's the most amazing person I know, by the way.
The stressful part of the past month has been dealing with sick Jackson the past week. His congestion makes him fussy and wheezy, and sleeping in his pack and play became impossible because of the awful sounds he would make. Noelle sacrificed so much of her sleep to ensure he slept okay, and it's a constant worry for her. Last night, he finally was able to sleep in the Pack and Play for about seven or eight hours, meaning we got some good sleep finally! (Rob dreamed about working on a high school project with his old friend who is returning to Houston after a few years in Canada, and then dreamed Noelle's friend in New York called to say she was pregnant. He had to be convinced the second dream did not happen.) Jackson went to the doctor today for his two month check-up and shots, and things look like they'll be better very soon, but more on that later.
So, based on the details above, you would think very little productive is going on for Rob. Not true - Rob is stuck looking at the past and the future concurrently, trying to figure out how to deal with the present. First off, Stephen lent Rob a great tool that allows Rob to upload videos to the computer. Anyone on Facebook should know that all sorts of videos are being posted from Rob's days in high school, where apparently Rob could bring a video camera anywhere. Unfortunately, Rob narrates almost every video, so there is a whole lot of cringing at the director's commentary. But what's worse is comparing Rob Then to the high school students Rob teaches now. I feel like there are a lot of people to apologize to for being jerky. I imagine I would be very frustrated if I had a student like me. That makes me look at Present Rob a lot and try to figure out what bad habits I still have. (Plenty, by the way.) Then there's the love I had for creating these awful spy movies and ridiculous skits, and I wonder what happened to Rob Then's ambition. Then there's those friends I've lost touch with or don't get to see too often, and I look at how important they were to me then, and wonder how the years got us so far apart. Then there's the subtext I missed then, not realizing what people were really saying to me, and I wonder how I was so ignorant and oblivious, and then I wonder what I still miss. Then there's just the painful awkwardness that makes me thank Noelle for marrying me.
So it's a Summer of Navel-Gazing, I guess. The Ghost of Videos Past has given me a lot to think about, and Jackson is that big reminder of what's to come. I already know big changes are coming next year at school - I no longer have my own classroom, I have an office. As I move all of those boxes of classroom material, there's the question - will I ever use any of this again? Will I ever be a full-time teacher again? Is that what I want? What will make it so I can be the dad I want to be? How will we ever get this kid off to college? What videos will he want to watch of his life?
So, this past Sunday morning, after our Third Annual MacGregor Picnic in the Park (which was actually held at the house where there is AC), Noelle needed more sleep, so Jackson and I got up early. As I often do on mornings after gatherings, I was craving a Whataburger, so I decided to take Jackson on a secret father-son trip to get that greasy burger. After I got it and enjoyed it, I just drove for about an hour with Jackson, out to the farms near Brookshire and Orchard. I kept wanting to pull over and take pictures of Jackson with cows and by the silly signs of Rosenberg and Richmond, but the idea of hoisting his car seat up for pictures seemed ridiculous and cruel, being as outside it was hot and bright. I had to chalk a lot of those urges up to "someday, son", knowing he would appreciate this world I wanted to introduce to him in a few more months or years. Then he started going nuts and we were about forty miles from the house where his food was, and there's only so much consoling that can be done from the front seat, so we headed home very quickly with me apologizing every ten seconds until he fell back asleep.
I guess that's the Summer - a lot of resting up, looking back at the previous year and years, and waiting for the next year's adventures to begin. Every previous summer has been about school in some way, but this one is all about being a dad and Jackson being our son.
And Wipeout - don't forget.

I just want to quickly point our attention to a small scientific experiment. As a scientist, l am trained to observe and analyze events/situations.
So, it goes like this…Chinese scientists have arrived Abuja on 8th of April 2020.
Now, all we have to do is to analyze the pattern of infection with cover-19 before their arrival and after their arrival especially in Abuja.
The results of both analyses will put to rest any conspiracy theory as true or false.
The results should never be treated as coincidence of chance.
If infection rate stays the same, the Chinese are good to go.
If infection rate increases in Abuja, the Chinese are not good to go.
This will be science and not fiction.

Hi, I’m American and have lived in New York City most of my life. I’ve been living in the richest part of the city and have a successful international job. I am Filipino-American. My friends come from all different backgrounds: white, black, hispanic, indian, asian, you name it. I just moved to Sweden the last 11 months and already have I experienced racism 3 times! It was nothing hostile but I can account for 3 situations and the 3rd one was today, that’s why I searched for “racism in sweden” online. Here were the incidents:
1. I was walking my bike home on a rainy night and 2 drunk Irish guys were smoking outside a pub and cracked jokes in English how I just came off the boat from China. Assuming I didn’t speak English I just said “I’m American. I hear every word.” and walked away.
2. I was riding my bike home and a guy yelled “Nee-How”. Not so bad, but offended to assume I’m Chinese.
3. Today, I went to the supermarket. 5 Swedish kids around 13 years old (I’m 32) were bullying me! I’m 32 and twice their size! How were they bullying me? They just said stupid comments like, “Having a party tonight? Nee-How.”
Again, these incidents were minor. They were just comments. It’s just surprising to me that a culture that I assumed to be so advanced compared to the rest of the world is still struggling with racism issues. I guess Sweden is a bit more homogenous compared to New York. In all 3 occasions I walked away but I feel like educating them. It’s so difficult to have an intellectual conversation when the first impression is ignorance. I sometimes feel like packing my bags and just going back to NYC.
I don’t want to experience this every 4 months while I’m here. But I also want to fight for my belief and teach these people how ignorant they really are. It’s a battle that can’t be solved through violence but education and discussion. I’m starting to believe it’s only an American Dream.

The Benefits of Dry Brushing
Dry brushing seems to be the latest health craze (just take a look on your Instagram feed). While the technique has been around for centuries (it’s the oldest body care trick in the book — quite literally!), its recent resurgence can be attributed to newfound celebrity and influencer raves — and skincare companies creating and promoting products to appease the demand. But what exactly does dry brushing do? Good question.
Beauty Banter: What is dry brushing?
Joanna Vargas: I love dry brushing: it’s my favorite method of body exfoliation because it is multi-tasking, and I recommend it all the time. The stimulation of the lymphatic system is true, and it’s your lymphatic system that really helps move out toxins and bring in good nutrients to every cell in the body. Dry brushing also increases elasticity and lifts your trouble spots like the butt and back of the thighs.
BB: How does it work?
JV: Dry brushing increases blood flow, which is healthy, but its main purpose is to stimulate collagen production which will help to thicken the skin and lessen the appearance of fat cells. It also dramatically increases elasticity, so it’s great for lifting and toning a problem area. Start at the tops of the feet and brush upwards towards the heart. Spend extra time on areas that tend to be more stagnant, like the inner thigh, and don’t forget to include the backs of the arms and the back.
BB: How long does it take to see results?
JV: Results usually appear within the first two weeks!
Smooth, glowing skin, increased collagen, and less fat? Yes, please!
Get brushing with one of these dry brushes below:

LUKE 24:28 As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. 29 But they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over.” So he went in to stay with them. 30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight. 32 They said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?”
He took, blessed, broke and gave the bread. There is no implication that we should bring a credit card or folding money. This is free. It’s on the house. Come on down and bring a buddy; there’s plenty.
Isaiah 55:1 Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you that have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Many years ago I came across this story. It’s like in an evacuation of a town, the beggars (read street people) are left behind. Everything is locked. However, two men risk body and limb, going out to find food. They jimmied the lock on the back of the convenience store down the street, helping themselves to the food left behind. Satisfied, they loaded up food, drink and first-aid supplies, braving the conditions and return to the group. Why did they do that? Later, one of them said, “We’re just beggar telling other beggars where to find food. We should have the manners to pass the bread.” It is so.
In hope, in spite of the facts.

JOHN 20:24 But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.”
Thomas was called the twin back then. Aside, nobody has a clue about the twin thing so beware of scholar’s theories. Aside over. He got past being called twin (almost nobody calls him that anymore), only receive, “doubting” in its place. Doubting Thomas is much worse than Thomas the Twin. Don’t you think?
In addition, he gets a bum rap as well, to this day. He went out Easter night. Why? Nobody knows. So supply your own notion, I do. Maybe he got sick of disciple’s paranoia, jumping at a log cracking in the fireplace. Perhaps, he got the short straw when they ran out of beer and was out getting a few cases to tide them over. He could have needed fresh air. We know he was out, period.
I ask you, why should he accept the word of this crowd given their state of mind? Add terror to grief and you get hallucinations, maybe? Thomas wanted to experience God directly, not hearsay. There’s a reason the courts are unimpressed by such. Who could blame him? I’ve noticed in the years of my ordained life, soon 37 years, a growing, progressive hunger of people to experience God for themselves.
I will tell you that for the thirty-seven years of this gig, one trend is that people want to experience God themselves. Don’t settle for any secondhand edition it will not fix the slow leak in our souls.
In hope, in spite of the facts.

JOHN 20:21b As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7
Some call this “John’s Pentecost.” It brings to mind the creation of human beings and their animation. Breath is necessary. Shortness of breath is cause for alarm. Trapped under water is an awful way to die. Shallow breathing could be a sign of death or laziness. Singers are admonished, breathe deeply, back straight and chest up to support but not impede the air. Then you can sing. Bear in mind, this will not make you a good singer it merely make singing possible.
Receive the Holy Spirit. Whether or not one is forgiven or not, seems to me a strange place to start for growing into the full statue of Christ. It’s like giving a child a gun, which as we know is tragic on a regular basis in 2016.
That being the case, perhaps, we should swear off judging (too much) until we grow up some more. If I remember correctly, there is something in Holy Writ, about the boomerang of judgement dispensed to someone, circling round to arrive splat (a free loose paraphrase).
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. Matthew 7:2
Let’s celebrate the balance of the Great Fifty Days of Easter by fasting judgment. Imagine how much better we’ll look without all that sin retention.
In hope, in spite of the facts.

JOHN 20:20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”
I’m old enough to remember when Lyndon hiked up his hospital gown showing the press his incision from gall bladder surgery. There was great consternation at the time. Alice Roosevelt Longworth (Teddy’s oldest) said she was grateful he wasn’t circumcised. Be not afraid, I do not compare our Lord with Lyndon.
However, some think the President was sending a message to Moscow that there was nothing wrong enough with him for them to be excited or worried. I know, I know, cutting room floor. Hang on, go with me here. Jesus showed the disciples that he is not merely spirit. They could see his wounds (and touch them apparently).
Jesus clearly had essential continuity before and post resurrection. He has the scars to show for it. In fact he will the only resident of heaven without a perfect body. I think, people will line up to see them, the bolder touch them, just to remember what God has done for us in Christ Jesus.
In hope, in spite of the facts.
April 29, 2019
JOHN 20:19 When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”
Yesterday we faced our fear. Today we face our peace. Facing peace is not much easier than poking our head from under the covers when something goes bump in the night.
What is peace if it is not, “not fear?” In Greek the word means, “peace of mind; quietness or rest.” This is not too far from “not fear,” and very acceptable to Ego. Peace of mind for Ego is everything under control, including people, all living things and inanimate object. Then, and only then, can Ego take a breather (but only for a minute).
Hebrew peace is, similar, but different in crucial way. Not defined in the negative, peace, points toward wholeness, complete, but not perfection. This is peace as progressive maturing integrity. The is the sort of peace that sees the lights of the highway patrol, glancing at our speed, relaxed as the officer speeds toward another motorist. This peace is a matter of intentional discipline; inebriated recklessness is not our practice. It doesn’t mean that our speed is always spot on as we drive because 90 mph is appropriate if a passenger is bleeding out.
I do not wish you “not fear,” I bid you peace.

MATTHEW 28:9 Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.” The Report of the Guard 11 While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests everything that had happened. 12 After the priests had assembled with the elders, they devised a plan to give a large sum of money to the soldiers, 13 telling them, “You must say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ 14 If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” 15 So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story is still told among the Jews to this day.
The crowd that bribed the guards with, admittedly a “large sum” of money, are the very ones who plotted to kill Lazarus after Jesus raised him from the dead. Why? Today, the polls they run, focus groups they convene would tell them that the public’s mood was with Jesus. That scared the bejeebers out of them because they assumed that Jesus would behave like they would if given the opportunity.
Jesus did ride into town according to ancient prophecy. Having arrived and the crowd gathered, he did not launch into a stump speech, shamelessly pandering to the worse fears as well as hopes of his audience. I shall resist the temptation to compare this with Presidential politics, but you make your own inventory.
Now….. I’m waiting….. Ok – back to the meditation already in progress.
The political types, ordained or not, never understood what Jesus was about as it is simply counter-intuitive. A kingdom where all are loved, cherished and cared for, simply does not compute. Groucho Marx once said, “I never want to be in a club that would have me.” The priests and such would never be a Kingdom, of God or other, where they were not high and lived up above the ordinary.
How about us? I must admit it makes me uncomfortable sometimes. How about you?
In hope, in spite of the facts.

JOHN 20: Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. 2 So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.” 3 Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went toward the tomb. 4 The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there, 7 and the cloth that had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. 8 Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; 9 for as yet they did not understand the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. 10 Then the disciples returned to their homes. 11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb; 12 and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. 13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you keeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” 14 When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!” (which means Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ” 18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”; and she told them that he had said these things to her.
Resurrection Never Crossed our Minds.
Resurrection never crossed Mary’s mind in the dark deserted streets. The garden, very near the skull shaped hill, where, Jesus was hoisted on a rough-hewn cross, splinters the size of the nails in his feet. She barely remembered walking from the cross, walking beside Joseph, an aristocrat, whose generosity saved Jesus from a common grave. Joined by Nicodemus, a Senator, they, their aides and servants, carried the dead weight through gathering dusk across the manicured lawns to Joseph’s new tomb.
She shifted the heavy jar of myrrh in her arms. Myrrh’s complex earthy scent, hinting of foreign lands, was universally used at burial. Its strong odor was useful at such times.
Smell, evokes the most vivid memories. Ever after, the faintest whiff and Mary was in the garden, the stars, dimming at the hint of dawn in the East.
The men had carefully rolled the round stone into its slot across the entrance. She saw them do it. There is a dark hole where the tan stone should be. His body, limbs out of socket, limp as a worn-out rag, covered with blood, was gone. The great stone rolled aside, witness to the absence of tortured remains. She hurdled heedless of feet in the dawn to warn his men that some ghoulish mischief had befallen his body. Romans do not disturb the dead. Nor, Jews, usually. Who would rob a grave on Passover?
Resurrection never crossed the minds of the men huddled by the fire, hiding from the mighty whose henchmen might be searching at that very moment. They flinched at the door knock.
Resurrection never crossed the minds of the two as they left the others walking quickly, suddenly running like school boys; John, the younger by over a decade ran as the young run sprinting ahead only to wait, a quick glance, hesitating, while Peter, as Peter would, barged right in. John followed. The burial clothes of thin linen bands, wrapped in haste; adequately, were quickly finished before Passover sundown.
The burial clothes were more than there; they lay as if Jesus simply vanished, evaporated rising right through them as they collapsed neatly onto themselves in a way, not to be faked. Oddly, the head cloth neatly folded lay near the wrappings, testifying to subtle divine presence.
Resurrection did cross John’s mind and he believed. Suddenly, hideous events on Friday were made new sense, aroused suspicions of glory and strange saying of Jesus were strange no more. His absence translated by hope become coherent to ears that listen, ears that hear. They departed slowly, thoughtfully – wondering if this meant what they thought it meant, unsure but with small bright potential joy in their hearts where before was only despair.
A movement peripheral, a man, [only a gardener would stir so early,]. Passing through the hedge, Mary, voice breaking inquired of grave-robbers … “Mary,” and she knew his voice; it was he, the one who said his sheep know my voice, and saying her name called her clear as ever. Resignation fell away, not as amnesia forgets, but remembering with power a greater vision, redeemed by holy intervention.
She grabbed him, weak with vertigo of deep grief leaping into singular joy in a single bound. Gently, he loosed her hands, telling her he had not yet ascended to his Father; an entirely different order of homecoming, embraced by the peculiar, mystical love of the Godhead.
She must let him go, not for loss this time but for gain, gain for all, for all time. The spare, precise truth, brought Mary and all who will ever believe to his God and their God and his Father and their Father.
Resurrection had never crossed Mary’s mind until, she met Resurrection face to face.
And it was ENOUGH!
Resurrection never crossed our minds in the tyranny of the immediate. I-phones, e-mails, constant litter of data: important to nobody but forwarded by somebody to everybody.
Resurrection never crossed our minds in the routine of sameness, body tired, minds fuzzy with the demands of a new day, while the old day, its red-flagged emails, all caps, shouting, invades the new day.
Resurrection never crossed our minds even in the Week Holy, as the world continued, the relentless, urgency of the trivial, blotting out the ultimate, flattening all affect into numbness.
We slouch into our several pews late, tired, distracted, our minds arriving minutes after our bodies dropped into a seat. Today the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox, the Queen of Feasts: This EASTER lies at the end of a long relay race beginning on that Eighth day of the Week, the day Mary went early in the dark; John and Peter came and went and Mary loitering near the cave met Jesus alive, [changed but somehow the same] – full of resurrection.
Resurrection never crossed our minds when Meister Eckhart said that the savior’s birth is always happening. But if it happens not in us what does it profit? What matters is that he be born in us.
Resurrection never crossed our minds until we, too long removed from that day encounter him who was absent then, only to be fully present for all time. Sometime, somewhere, when we finally hit the wall that defeats the best moves of our egos — when we find something we cannot fix, there
we will meet Jesus and Resurrection will finally cross our minds and he will not only be born in us but resurrected as well…
and it will be ENOUGH!
May that same resurrection cross your minds and give you new life.
In the name of the father, son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

MATTHEW 27:57 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus. 58 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus; then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. 59 So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth 60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock. He then rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and went away. 61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb. The Guard at the Tomb 62 The next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate 63 and said, “Sir, we remember what that impostor said while he was still alive, ‘After three days I will rise again.’ 64 Therefore command the tomb to be made secure until the third day; otherwise his disciples may go and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead,’ and the last deception would be worse than the first.” 65 Pilate said to them, “You have a guard of soldiers; go, make it as secure as you can.” 66 So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone.
After such a hellish week, Joseph allowed himself a massage, before going home to Arimathea for the Passover Feast. His youngest had invited a young man for the first time. When did she get old enough for this?” The banter in his head was interrupted by the voice of the older man lying on the next massage table. “Can you believe,” he said with a sharp intake of breath. “Not so hard, Granicus, I’m old. Where was I? That Nazarene Rabbi that Pilate crucified. You should have seen the look on the High Priest’s face when he learned the Governor, put a placard on top with, “King of the Jews” on it. Joseph interrupted, “what about him.” “He’s dead already. I lost the bet. Given his age I would have expected him to last for a couple of days at least.
Joseph sat up, called for his clothing. Dressing quickly, he walked out escorted by his servants. It didn’t take long to arrive at the Praetorium (Pilate’s residence). The place was deserted. By now even the worst procrastinators hurried to finish the last details before dusk. At sundown the Passover would begin.
Sitting on the Council as he did, literally opened doors for him to meet Pilate. He asked for the body of Jesus. “Very well, if you want to tend the Nazarene’s body, welcome to it. I know you Jews want all three buried before sundown. I’m not sure why you are doing this, but thank you, though you are not doing it for me. It make my life a bit simpler. Bad business this.” And so it happened. In a hurry to get things done but with dignity, Joseph of Arimathea placed the ruined body, wrapped in fine linen, into his own, newly completed tomb. He rushed off to arrive home for the Sedar.
Some were surprised at Joseph’s actions. He was a quiet man and while he was convinced that Jesus was Messiah, he had made no public pronouncements. Such was not his way. It was a little odd, when later someone pointed out to Joseph a verse in the fifty-third chapter of the prophet Isaiah.
ISAIAH 53:9 They made his grave with the wicked and his tomb with the rich, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.
Joseph was too modest to consider that his name came in Isaiah’s prophecy. His family, on the other hand, believed it, cherished the story for as long as they had a collective memory and so do we.
In hope, in spite of the facts. John

JOHN 13 Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2 The devil had already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot to betray him. And during supper 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, 4 got up from the table, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around himself. 5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him. 6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” 7 Jesus answered, “You do not know now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” 8 Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no share with me.” 9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” 10 Jesus said to him, “One who has bathed does not need to wash, except for the feet, but is entirely clean. And you are clean, though not all of you.” 11 For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said, “Not all of you are clean.” 12 After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord— and you are right, for that is what I am. 14 So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one anothers feet. 15 For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you. 16 Very truly, I tell you, servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them. 17 If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them. 31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. 32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. 33 Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ 34 I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
When Jesus got to Peter with basin and water Peter balked. It’s not that his feet were ticklish, it’s not that someone wanted to wash his feet, it’s because it was Jesus, who he loved and revered, came at him as servant.
In our own day it is all about us. We are self-conscious about our feet. By a certain age feet are pretty beat up. It is not, I have observed, washing feet that is so unacceptable even, no, it’s having our feet washed. That may seem backwards, but the ego inside voice says, “So, if this is going on at least I will be in control.” Sitting in chair when someone not of ego’s choice, touching, handling and, at least symbolically, is beyond a self-absorbed ego’s tolerance.
Soul, on the other hand, while perhaps timid the first time, discovers a peculiar intimacy in the process. Suddenly, one is in a genuine religious experience, and such has an almost irresistible attraction.
Ego, sighs relief, retreating to the pew, having survived an unpleasant experience. Soul is almost unaware of self upon reentering the pew. They are both moved, but consider the dichotomy. Attendance on Maundy Thursday is lower than other Holy Week services and I suspect the push pull of ego versa soul is the reason. Pedicures are not required. So relax, and pardon the expression, but meeting sole to soul is holy.
In hope, in spite of the facts.

MCAS Open-Response Questions
The Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System, or MCAS, is an exam that tests Massachusetts public school students on the Massachusetts Curriculum Framework learning standards. The test is intended to reflect the performance of students, schools and districts in the state. Five types of questions appear in different disciplines and sections of the MCAS: multiple-choice, writing prompts, short-answer, short-response and open-response. Open-response questions appear on all MCAS tests except for the English Language Arts Composition test.
1 Open-Response Objectives
Open-response questions ask students to create original answers. The questions prompt students to think more deeply about information that is presented and formulate their own responses rather than choosing from existing answers on the page. Their answers should provide more information and supporting evidence than is necessary for a short-answer question. Students write one to two paragraphs and create a chart, table, diagram, illustration or graph where necessary. Open-response questions help determine if a child has mastered particular skills, because the child is not able to simply guess from a list of options.
2 Open-Response Scoring
Open-response questions are scored using a guide that specifies the skills that should be demonstrated in the response. "Anchor papers" are also used in scoring. These are samples of previous student responses at each score point for reference. Open-response answers are graded on a scale of zero to four points, except Mathematics Grade 3 open responses, which are graded on a scale of zero to two points. Spelling, punctuation and grammar are not scored for these types of questions. Scorers are concerned with the content of the answer rather than formalities and technical writing rules. For a top score, student work must be clear, complete and accurate. The response must answer the actual question and include supporting details from the text, where appropriate.
3 Math Open-Response Tips
Math open-response questions can be difficult for some students because they require explanations. Some children may be skilled in math yet still have trouble articulating their approach to problem solving or the method they used to find a particular answer. Certain questions may call for breaking down work into a series of steps, which can also be challenging for children who don't think or work in this organized way. The Newton Math Tutors website offers some tips for preparing for these questions, such as reading the problem twice, rephrasing it and circling key words. Students should include words or phrases from the actual question in their responses. They should always reread an open-response answer to see if what they have written is clear and easy to follow.
4 Reading Open-Response Tips
English language arts open-response questions require children to respond to a piece of writing. The questions are meant to assess specific reading skills. Students read a passage and then answer an accompanying prompt. They must answer the question using evidence from the text. The answers should be clear and contain appropriate supporting details. To prepare, students should practice skills such as comparing and contrasting, paraphrasing and analyzing the main idea in a piece of text. They should practice explaining information in their own words and underlining or circling important information while reading.

Direct marketing delivers your marketing message directly to a group consumers or businesses on a personalized level (such as a telephone call or via a personal email message). It’s a form of marketing that provides the recipient with a direct call to action. The following are the three main types of direct marketing.
Direct mail is one of the most common forms of direct marketing and an essential part of an integrated marketing campaign. Companies promote their products and services with a provocative mailer. Direct mail campaigns provide your prospects with a tangible piece of mail to read at their leisure. Direct mail campaigns are extremely effective. They are personalized and customized to a specific target audience can have great response rates.
Telemarketing is the process of calling prospects on the phone to promote your products or services. This can be done using your own sales staff. Telemarketing is vital in creating brand recognition, building customer relationships, nurturing leads and of course, closing sales.
Even with its bad reputation, telemarketing still plays an important part of any direct marketing campaign. Telemarketing is personal and interactive, and capable of providing an immediate response. As effective as telemarketing is, you need to be sensitive to your prospects’ willingness to receiving unsolicited phone calls.
Telemarketing campaigns work best. Telemarketing lists are highly targeted. It accurate data that matches your current customer’s profiles.
Email marketing is an effective way of reaching out to new prospects or following up with existing customers. You can easily customize your marketing messages to various market segments, or for prospects in different stages of the sales funnel.
It can be used to nurture customer relationships. It provides company and product information, drive website traffic. Email marketing promote direct sales. The emails can be as elaborate or as simple as needed.
Most people check their emails on a daily basis, making email a very effective marketing method for your business. However, email marketing should be used responsibly, and it is extremely important to have your customers’ consent before sending emails.
Successful Direct Marketing
The most successful direct marketing campaign will use a mix of marketing methods. Repetition is very important in any type of marketing efforts. The more you can get yourself out in front of prospects. Try a direct mail campaign with a telemarketing follow-up or an email blast in conjunction with a direct mail campaign. A Multi-Channel campaign also allows your prospects multiple ways to communicate back to you.
Regardless of the method, the key aspect in any direct marketing campaign is the ability to target the marketing message to a specific audience. With properly defined target market, you can deliver your message directly to those who have a greater probability of purchasing from your business. This allows businesses of all sizes focus their marketing budget and resources where they’re most likely to get results.
It’s very important, before starting any direct marketing campaign, that you understand the different regulations governing each method of communication. The responsibility is yours to make sure you are compliant. Legitimate list brokers and managers should be able to confirm that the lists they are providing comply to the various rules and regulations. If you are uncertain, do not hesitate to ask.

Commenting on progress in the Anthropocene Working Group (AWG) of the International Commission on Stratigraphy in recognising the Anthropocene as a distinct geological epoch, one in which human activity is having a dominant impact, the eminent geologist Steve Drury points out (see link below) that, while it is essentially a political, not a scientific statement, it is nevertheless to be welcomed, coinciding as it does with the rapidly escalating efforts, mainly by young people, to end massive threats to the Earth System. The only way, according to Professor Drury, to erase the “exponentially growing human buttock print on our home world” is for growth-dependent economics to be removed. If that social revolution doesn’t happen, there will, he argues, be a mass extinction to join the ‘Big Five’ previous ones (the most recent one being 65 million years ago) and society in all its personifications will collapse.
The growth-dependent economics to which Steve Drury refers is capitalism. Capitalism is the social system based on the accumulation of capital through economic growth and it cannot function in a world where that growth is curtailed. Previous and, in China, on-going attempts to build an alternative to capitalism, i.e. socialism leading to communism, may not always have prioritised sustainable growth and the welfare of future generations. Lack of scientific understanding resulted in some serious ecological mistakes in the USSR such as the draining of the Ural Sea, but at least the potential to plan the economy for the benefit of future generations exists under socialism. No such potential exists under capitalism. Under capitalism there is one objective: capital must accumulate; and one criterion for judging this – the market, which means net present value arrived at by discounting the future at a rate which reflects the required rate of capital accumulation. Capitalism is incapable of valuing the welfare of future generations without applying this savage discounting. It is therefore only to be expected that our government is seeking to placate climate change protestors with its tentative commitment to “zero carbon emissions” by 2050 while ignoring the carbon content in our imports – about to soar if British Steel is closed – and from aviation – similarly about to be boosted by Heathrow expansion.

I have read all kind of the articles and i understand almost all the concept from cryptocurrency. What i still don’t understand is what are the steps from transactions to a valid block. On a post on this forum i found this:
- Collects transactions from the network
- Validates them, and doesn’t allow conflicting ones
- Puts them into large bundles called blocks
- Computes cryptographic hashes over and over until if finds one “good enough to count”
- Then submits the block to the network, adding it to the block chain and earning a reward in return.
Let’s take an practical example and please correct me if i make some wrong steps:
- I send 10BC to Batman.
- Because i have send this many in system is created a transaction.
- This transaction is send to all nodes from network (all users)
- After transaction arrives to all users, the transaction is added in a queue where the miners take take their transactions.
- A miner take transaction process it (prof of work) and creates a block with more transactions.
- After all the transactions are validated by miner the new block is send in the network for check.
- How does each user check this blockchain (divide the blockchain and check each transaction if the transaction from the blockchin is the same with the one that he has (because first transactions are send to all the users from p2p network and after that are send in the queue to be process by the miner. This is how user is able to compare the transactions))?

I am a survivor of countless downs and ups…
… of confusion and clarity, sickness and health, resentment and forgiveness, cowardice and courage, doubt and conviction, withdrawal and engagement, shame and redemption, incompetence and mastery, loneliness and fellowship, conflict and reconciliation, self-righteousness and humility, despair and hope.
Never-ending cycles of becoming more… more knowledgeable, more skilled, more honest, more courageous, more compassionate, more generous… more than my genetic endowment… more than the myths and customs of my tribe… more than my regrets and worries… more than my doubts and fears… more than my weaknesses… more than my strengths even.
But no matter how many times I think I have “arrived”, I discover that every destination is just a new beginning.
Fortunately, I would have it no other way.
Next Meditation: Self-Esteem
A uniquely burdened and blessed citizen of the world thinking and acting out loud!

On the eve of the 9-11 anniversary, it is imperative to look at government caused and staged events from the angle of extreme criticism. This criticism need not be considered from the standpoint of speculation or ‘conspiracy theory,’ although any collusion at high levels for the purpose of attaining a particular outcome is certainly conspiratorial. False flag events are always meant to fool the people into supporting a particular agenda sought by the ruling ‘elites,’ and in turn are designed to be a war against you as citizens of a corrupt state. This new false flag called Covid-19 was long ago designed in order to effect global dominance by the few over the rest of us. Will this be a successful coup? Will the people of this country acquiesce to the will of tyrants? Will the people allow for the continued murder of their families and neighbors by the state? Will the people continue to hide from themselves and the truth? Will the people never fight back? Will the people allow themselves to become the serfs in a society ruled by kings? That is what is coming, and there is only one thing standing in the way of the oppressors, and that is mass resistance by the majority. Without the courage to fight against the ruling class, we will soon be left with nothing, and will have allowed our own servitude.
What we now face is a war against all humanity, a war without end. We face constant surveillance, forced vaccination, and home imprisonment. We face a total loss of normal interaction and communication with others. We face complete restriction or elimination of travel. We face the prospect of a total loss of medical freedom. We face having to present papers in order to move about or transact business. We face the possibility of being chipped, and the requirement of implants and tracking device mandates. We face the elimination of normal employment leading to financial ruin. We face starvation and extreme poverty. We face gene-altering technologies. We face all this and more in what has been mistakenly called the freest country on earth. What have we become? What purpose is there in life if thinking and acting as nature intended is outlawed, and deemed treasonous? What joy will remain if this insanity continues? When will the people that gave this horrendous government its power take it away? When will Americans reclaim their freedom?

THE COMPARATIVE FREE RADICAL SCAVENGING EFFECT OF FICUS RELIGIOSA, AEGLE MARMELOS AND BUTEA MONOSPERMA
Sourabh Jain1, Prof. D. Kishore1, Prof. Sanjay B. Kasture2

Natural products have played crucial role in drug discovery and development. They are capable ofcombating free radicals mediated diseases. The most important of these bioactive constituents of natural products or plants are phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, tannins, glycoside and saponins. Phenols, flavonoids are known to possess wide range of biological activities like antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The present study was performed to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant capacity of Ficus religiosa, Aegle marmelos and Butea monosperma against free radical damage using different standard methods such as DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl), hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay and reducing power assay. Results of present study showed that F.religiosa extract had higher DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC50: 36.48 ?g/ml) followed with A. marmelos (IC50: 40.41 ?g/ml) and B. monosperma (IC50: 55.45 ?g/ml) respectively. Similarly, in case of H2O2 radical scavenging assay, highest antioxidant activity was found in F. religiosa. . The total phenolic content of extract was found to be higher in Ficus religiosa (213.0±0.721 mg/gm GAE) then Aegle marmelos and Butea monosperma (191.6±1.058 and 174.7±1.007).The results support local claims of their therapeutic uses in folklore medicine. In conclusion, all three i.e. F. religiosa, A. marmelos and B.monosperma plant extracts could serve as free radical scavengers, can be considered as potent antioxidants. Their activity may be attributed to high phenolic and flavonoid contents.

Well, I certainly don’t know what I am doing, but I decided to polish the plane for a bit prior to committing to paint. I started with the right wing top surface:
Since I don’t have the good stuff yet (Nuvite), I just did a quick pass with stuff available at autozone. I bought a 6″ random orbit buffer, some foam pads, and used microfiber cloths under the foam pads to apply the cleaning polish. My first goal was just to git rid of the surface oxidation and remove the discolored lines left from the removal of the blue plastic along each side of each rivet line.
Although this still looks like crap, it is 100% better than before where it was milky/blotchy with obvious marks on each side of the rivet lines:
You sure go through microfiber towels quickly. I took these home to wash and it took two cycles in the washing machine.
Today (1/3/16), I did the left wing, with help from Rachel and Zack:

No one that met Jesus ever came away the same as they were before they met Him.
As I’ve continued on through my reading, which I must admit has slowed down to an almost uncomfortable pace (which I have every confidence is good for me albeit challenging to the core), I’ve noted more and more the reality of the fact that people came away from even the smallest interactions with Jesus changed in fundamental ways. In this fact, there are ample applications to you and me that I’ll get to momentarily.
It was during the course of this week’s reading through Matthew 10 – 13, and particularly in Matthew 11 where I had the chance to camp out on a thought in this regard. Verses 1 – 6 specifically note …
When Jesus had finished giving these instructions to his twelve disciples, he went out to teach and preach in towns throughout the region. John the Baptist, who was in prison, heard about all the things the Messiah was doing. So he sent his disciples to ask Jesus, “Are you the Messiah we’ve been expecting, or should we keep looking for someone else?” Jesus told them, “Go back to John and tell him what you have heard and seen—the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is being preached to the poor. And tell him, ‘God blesses those who do not turn away because of me.’
Needless to say, this is an incredibly rich passage and we can dive into it from a number of angles, but what push on me most this week is noted in verse 5 … “the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life …” Throughout the Gospels and even the Epistles we read the actual stories of many (though clearly NOT all) of these encounters … and let’s get one thing super clear, they really happened. Let’s go beneath the surface for a couple seconds … blind people seeing … lame people walking … deaf people hearing … and on and on. Can there be any doubt that these people, people like you and me, were fundamentally different after meeting Jesus than before? There are a number of observations we can make about them … and for us …
First, they were changed forever. Being blind and then being able to see is a life-altering change and one that carries with it lifelong alteration. Being a leper, inherently a death sentence, and then being healed is by definition something upon which one can look as an eternal change. These were not temporal life improvements that would wear out over time. These were permanent conversions of the essence of one’s life.
Second, the changes altered the way these people lived. Being deaf, particularly in the first century, carried with it burdens that even today many wouldn’t need to confront. Immediately being able to hear, when one couldn’t perhaps for the entirety of their life, would have manifested itself in an entirely different manner of living. The same would be true of someone unable to walk. This wasn’t a day in which modern machinery would have allowed someone the use of wheelchairs, with handicap-accessible parking spaces, doors, bathrooms and the like. This was a primal change to the core of someone’s quality of life. Let’s not even note for the moment the way someone’s life would change when they were once dead and now weren’t. Seriously … imagine THAT!
Third, the encounters with Jesus that yielded these transformations the way these folks appeared to others. Imagine one moment talking about Billy the blind guy, who you’d known all your life and seen around town, only to encounter Billy the not-blind-anymore guy. Suffice to say, you would interact with and treat Billy quite differently. Not to mention someone formerly with leprosy. Such a person would have been confined to separate living arrangements so as not to potentially expose others to their disease. If they were in and among the rest of society, great lengths would have been taken to NEVER come into contact with them, not only for reasons of the law, but for reasons of health and wellness. Now consider that former leper healed, and mainstreamed with the rest of society, a close-knit society at that. It’s a mind-bending variation.
Finally, these people after such encounters would have been altered at the faith level. Could you imagine what this type of life change would do to your faith? Would any daily challenge or struggle cause you to waiver in the least? I mean, let’s face it … compared to the 180-degree about face for their life, could anything persist in one’s life that was unable to be overcome? That kind of faith, that type of confidence in a Savior, would outdo any possible hardship or struggle as all else would virtually pale in comparison.
The people who came into encounter with Jesus were not the same. And here’s the rub … neither are we. Those of us who call Him Lord and Savior have come into no less meaningful contact. I can say personally and wholeheartedly that when Helen and I accepted Christ on that December night in 1999, we were instantly changed. And like those that Jesus talks about … the blind who saw, the lame who walked, the deaf who heard, etc., we were changed in some fundamental ways.
We were changed forever. We’re told in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that our transformation in Christ is eternal when we accept Him. Our life is never to be the same. Ever.
The change we experienced has also altered the way we live. Metaphorically, we were once blind and now we see, deaf and now we hear, diseased and now we’re healed, and on and on. I wish I could say that I live different at the core more completely and more consistently, but the Bible never says we lose our humanness … so I’m stuck with those times when I blow it. But at the essence of who I am (and who Helen is, and – if you’ve accepted Christ’s offer of salvation – who you are) there are definitional differences.
We are changed in the way people see us. I can’t tell you how many times folks have pointed out who they notice I’ve changed. Again … I wish that was more consistent … but by and large, we appear and interact differently today than we did before coming to Christ. Lastly, our faith has been forever altered … to the very heart of our personhood.
We rely on Jesus for all … again, with sometimes varying degrees of fortitude, but knowing what He saved us from (mostly ourselves), there’s very little that can rattle us, very little we feel is insurmountable in the view of His power.
If you are a follower of Christ, know conclusively this is all true of you as well. The strength we can draw from these realities … these promises from God Himself … is impenetrable. Sometimes it just takes us going through the change to realize it. Sometimes it takes us noticing. Sometimes it takes people noticing us. Either way, just as the people in the first century encounters with Jesus were not the same after they met Him, neither are we. Let’s ask God this week in prayer to help us know this with certainty, with confidence.
Never the same,

Search and play music from YouTube
Musictube is an easy to use music player that sources its tracks from YouTube.
If you love using YouTube to look up music to listen to, you're going to love this music player. Musictube offers a much more elegant solution than searching for different tracks individually on YouTube. Its interface is beautifully designed and will let you quickly search for artists and tracks.
When you play an artist in Musictube, the playlist will be populated with tracks by that artist. One of the best features of Musictube is the ability to switch between the live, studio, or cover of the currently playing song. You can also enable the video of the song to be played in a box on the bottom right. Musictube supports up to 1080p video. There is also a full screen mode that lets you enjoy your music distraction free.
In use, Musictube worked fairly well but initial start up can be a little slow and buggy, sometimes freezing for a minute. While Musictube is beautifully designed and easy to use, it leaves much to be desired in terms of sound quality, which is to be expected. YouTube uploads don't usually have the best sound quality. It'd also be nice if Musictube included some music discovery tools.
This trial version of Musictube limits playlists to 10 tracks and doesn't support video.
OMusictube is a well designed and easy to use YouTube music player although the sound quality and music discovery need improvement.

President Trump appears to agree with black conservative activist Candace Owens’ contention that being a victim does not necessarily make one a hero.
On Friday, President Trump reportedly re-tweeted a video that showed Candace Owens arguing point-blank that deceased black man George Floyd, who died late last month because of the brutality of four since-fired Minneapolis Police Department officers, isn’t a hero deserving of praise but rather a victim simply deserving of justice.
“The fact that he has been held up as a martyr sickens me,” the video showed her saying while speaking on conservative radio show host Glenn Beck’s program.
“George Floyd was not a good person. I don’t care who wants to spin that, I don’t how how CNN wants to make you think he changed his life around, or MSNBC wants you to believe he was just, after his sixth stint in prison, really going to change things around. It’s just not true.”
The video began with Beck noting that Floyd’s killing was wrong but also pointing out that his own history was plenty bad too.
“You know, I don’t care if he just stabs somebody, if he’s down and you have him, don’t put your knee on his neck and kill him,” he said in scathing indictment of now-charged former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
“However, this is a guy with a very long criminal record,” he added, pivoting to Floyd. “He was said to be cleaning up his life by his family — I hope that was true — but he was also high on fentanyl and dropped a bag of drugs that he was carrying at the time.”
“Is this really the guy that black America — they were very careful to pick Rosa Parks — is this the symbol of black America today?” Beck continued.
Owens replied by saying it is though it certainly shouldn’t be.
“I’m going to say yes, it is a symbol of black America today, and it’s a symbol of a broken culture in black America today — and that people are not willing to talk about again about how we contribute to our own demise,” she said.
“The fact that he has been held up as a martyr sickens me. George Floyd was not a good person. I don’t care who wants to spin that, I don’t how how CNN wants to make you think he changed his life around, or MSNBC wants you to believe he was just, after his sixth stint in prison, really going to change things around. It’s just not true.”
As evidence, she pointed to the horrific crime Floyd had committed in 2007.
“Here’s how I try to see it through the eyes of the young woman who was pregnant in 2007 when a guy knocked on her door pretending that he worked for the water department,” Owens explained. “She realized that he doesn’t work for the water department, attempted to slam the door in his face, only to have a Ford pull up with four more men who get out of the car, one of which is George Floyd.”
“He slams his way into her door, takes out a pistol and holds it to her pregnant belly threatening her as he pushes her into the living room. While she’s in the room, he has one of his armed buddies keep an eye on her as they raid her house looking for drugs, looking for money. They didn’t find drugs, but they did take her cell phone and some cash.”
“So that I think was his fifth arrest that he went to prison for five years. This man has been held up as a hero. This once pregnant woman, I can’t even think about the trauma,” Owens concluded.
As the BPR reported the president’s retweet suggests that he understands the actual facts — that Floyd wasn’t a hero, and that all this blather about systemic racism is nonsense.
FYI, the president’s retweet reportedly also helped him set a personal record of posting a tweet every seven minutes and 12 seconds. View the tweet that the president retweeted below:

DR. POOJA K. DIGRA & DR. KISHOR K. DIGRAA medical face mask also known as surgical or procedure mask is a medical device covering the mouth, nose and chin ensuring a barrier that limits the transition of an infective agent between the hospital staff and the patient. They are used by healthcare workers to prevent large respiratory droplets and splashes from reaching the mouth and the nose of the wearer and help reduce and/or control at the source the spread of large respiratory droplets from the person wearing the face mask. That aim to balance high filtration, adequate breathability and optionally, fluid penetration resistance.Non-medical face masks (or ‘community’ masks) include various forms of self-made or commercial masks or face covers made of cloth, other textiles or other materials such as paper. They are not standardised and are not intended for use in healthcare settings or by healthcare professionals.A respirator or filtering face piece (FFP), is designed to protect the wearer from exposure to airborne contaminants (e.g. from inhaling infectious agents associated with inhaling small and large particle droplets) and is classified as personal protective equipment (PPE). Respirators are mainly used by healthcare workers to protect themselves, especially during aerosol-generating procedures. Valved respirators are not appropriate for use as a means of source control since they do not prevent the release of exhaled respiratory particles from the wearer into the environment. Filtering facepiece respirators (FFR), or respirators, similarly offer a balance of filtration and breathability; however, whereas medical masks filter 3 micrometre droplets, respirators must filter more challenging 0.075 micrometre solid particles. Certified FFRs must also ensure unhindered breathing with maximum resistances during inhalation and exhalation. Another important difference is the way filtration is tested; medical mask filtration tests are performed on a crosssection of the masks whereas FFRs are tested for filtration across the entire surface. Therefore, the layers of the filtration material and the FFR shape, ensuring outer edges of the FFR seal around wearer’s face, result in a guaranteed claimed filtration when worn compared to the open shape, or leaking structure, of medical masks. Other FFR performance requirements include being within specified parameters for maximum CO2 build up, total inward leakage and tensile strength of straps.Why N95 respirator not to wear by general public The use of medical masks in the community may divert this critical resource from the health workers and others who need them the most. In settings where medical masks are in short supply, medical masks should be reserved for health workers and at-risk individuals when indicated. Avoid wearing a mask which has valves or openings on the front as it might be a ‘one-way valve’ which only going to protect the person who is wearing it. Mask with a one-way valve does not filter aerosols coming out of your mouth, hence, immediately putting those around you at risk. The idea of an effective face mask to prevent you from catching a respiratory illness is that it protects others too. A mask which will protect you but put those around you at risk cannot help in containing COVID-19. An N95 respirator that has a two-way valve is capable of filtering out particles during both inhaling and exhaling, however, these are mostly used by health professionals given the extent of their exposure to virus droplets. Valved N95 respirator “does not prevent the virus from escaping out of the mask….” and refers to government’s advisory issued in April on the use of ‘homemade protective cover for face and mouth’, particularly when they step out of their residences.Procedure for wearing a maskAs per the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), you must wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 minutes before wearing a mask. In case you do have access to soap, you can use alcohol-based sanitizer. To take it off, firstly clean your hands with sanitizer and then remove it. Wash your hands post disposing of too. Notably, you must change your mask every 8 hours and avoid wearing a wet mask. Never share your face mask with anyone even if you are sure the person is COVID-19 negative.The different ways of sterilizing and reusing the maskThe advisory says that any used cotton cloth can be cut out into a face cover, stressing that such cloth-based homemade masks must be washed and cleaned each day. The colour of the fabric does not matter but one must ensure that the fabric is washed well in boiling water for five minutes and dried well before making the face cover. Adding salt to this water is recommended, as per the government advisory. Ensure your face mask fits properly and covers your nose, mouth and chin. Do not touch your mask while you are wearing it. The sterilizing and reusing the N95 mask are as follows –o Air drying: This is a simple way of reusing the N95 respirator mask. Drying the mask kills the virus, but it takes at least 48 hours to dry. Therefore, drying in a clean, dry place for 72 hours (3 days) is one way of reusing the mask. The only issue is that you have to wait for 3 days to reuse it. If you have four N95 masks, wear one every day and then keep it for drying, until the fourth when it can be reused. Keep the mask in a paper bag away from direct sunlight and ultraviolet rays. If in the meantime, the mask becomes soiled, damaged or difficult to breath, you need to discard it. Needless to say, always practice hand hygiene before removing and wearing it again the next time.Heat in an oven: Heating at 70 degrees C for 30 mins kills the virus. There should be no contacting metal, and check if the N95 material used is not inflammable, if it is, do not heat in oven. You can hang the mask in the oven by using a wooden clip. This work has been done by the Stanford University team, USA and up dated on 25th March 2020.Dry heat in a rice cooker: Put the N95 mask in a traditional electric rice cooker without putting any water inside for 3 mins, until the temp is 149 -164 degrees C.Chemical sterilization with H2O2: Researchers from Duke University in the USA reported that using H2O2 (480 ppm) in a specially designed chamber for 45 mins sterilizes the filter without destroying it. It takes a total duration of 4 hrs. The paper describing the method has been accepted in the Journal of Applied Biosafety as on 26th March 2020.15 At around the same time (27th March 2020), researchers from the Yale University, USA too have reported effective disinfection of the N95 mask with H2O2.

By Simran Sachdev /AlterNet / April 11, 2012
This Saturday’s family-friendly event will draw some new individuals into the movement while also energizing existing Occupiers and facilitating cross-organizational cooperation.
The Spring Awakening 2012, a day of rejuvenation, celebration, and intense movement-building, will take place this Saturday, April 14, in Central Park. For Occupy supporters who may have been disheartened by any struggles over the winter, this event will help propel Occupy Wall Street forward over the next six months. It is designed to welcome new people into the life of activism and strengthen existing ties of those already embedded in the movement.
With a background in international affairs and human rights, I came to OWS in early October to see what it was all about. I was intrigued by the alternative world the movement had created in Liberty Plaza in such a short time. I knew I had to be a part of it. After attending numerous general assemblies and marches, and floating through various working group meetings, I chose the Spring Awakening citywide assembly as one of my first major projects. Having attended the project’s first planning meeting in December, I have been an organizer for the event ever since.
The world that OWS wants to create is one of cooperation and mutual benefit, based on the belief that our society needs to better learn how to work with new and different people even if they disagree with one another, and it was important for us to honor those ideas in our planning. From the start, Spring Awakening coordinators sought to bring people from around the city, including OWS neighborhood general assemblies, into the planning process to take ownership of the project. While making decisions via consensus is a great and necessary tool, it can lead to a very drawn-out and grueling process, especially when you have a lot of people with wide-ranging opinions. While some organizers were definitely disheartened at the slow pace of our planning, many of us stuck together until the end for what will likely be a highly revitalizing event this Saturday. Hurdles and bumps aside, the Spring Awakening is set to be an exciting, fun, and productive movement-building experience.
The intent of the Spring Awakening is threefold: to reinvigorate, to celebrate, and to host interactive movement-building.
The Spring Awakening is here to reinvigorate any momentum that may have been lost over the winter. Since many in the general public are misinformed about what Occupy has been doing over the past few months, we want to make it clear that we are still here, as alive and energetic as ever. The numerous meetings we have been having at 60 Wall Street, Judson Memorial Church, Liberty Plaza, and numerous other venues are now showing the fruits of our labor. We didn’t get disheartened and give up after the November 15th eviction like the mainstream media has led the public to believe. Rather, we have spent the winter figuring out how to propel this movement forward and create the world we want to live in.
The planning team believed it was significant to hold the event in the spring because of the symbolism of the season. Spring is a time of renewal and re-growth, which, as mentioned before, is what the Spring Awakening is hoping to bring to the movement. OWS has been a powerful force this spring even prior to this event, so we only imagine Saturday to be even better with this built-up energy. We also can’t forget the Arab Spring that has changed the landscape of the Middle East, and which helped inspire OWS in its early days.
The event will also serve as build-up for May Day, which is expected to be a major day of action for the movement. The Spring Awakening is meant to get people energized, while being lower-risk and less focused on direct-action.
The Spring Awakening will also celebrate OWS’s achievements. Back on September 17th, no one knew how big this movement would get or how long it would last – let alone that it would transformed the national discourse and scare corporations so much that they would feel the need to buy off the NYPD in an attempt to shut us up. While looking forward is essential, it is also imperative to look back and celebrate our accomplishments. Live music, food, discussions, and other festivities will give us the chance to reflect and appreciate our victories.
OWS organizer Colby Hopkins commented, “One of the greatest accomplishments of Occupy Wall Street is that it has pushed to the forefront the reality that the root of all of our social ailments is the same….Knowing we have a common enemy reminded us that we need a collective solution. Spring Awakening 2012 will build this movement, in part, by combining peoples’ efforts around various issues and focusing them on our common enemy.”
Another function the Spring Awakening will serve is as a mechanism for interactive movement building. The facilitated assembly, taking place at 3pm, is essential, as it will be a space for a variety of organizations and individuals to unite on initiatives. Various organizations are submitting campaigns that they are currently working on and will form clusters, which will in turn work on strategic visioning for their collective initiatives over the next three to six months. The hope is that organizations doing similar work will network, combine efforts, and find ways to collaborate on their work moving forward. This will serve as a model for a “clearinghouse” that we hope to establish for organizations, at which groups will be able to share their work with each other.
How to Participate
There will be an abundance of things to do all day during the Spring Awakening. Participants looking for teach-ins, discussions, or more information about different Occupy groups should visit the open space taking place on the south side of the park (west of Wollman Rink, near the 6th Avenue entrance) between 1pm and 6pm. Be sure to bring a blanket; there will be picnic-style “blanketing” so we don’t face any issues with having tables at the park. Numerous groups and performers have confirmed attendance for the open space, including the Commission on Voluntary Service & Action,La Union, Women Occupying Wall Street, and Such As Us.
If you’d like to participate in the facilitated assembly at 3pm, you can do so under the umbrella of an organization, or join any campaign cluster that sparks your interest. A few, out of the many, organizations and groups that have committed to the facilitated assembly include theManhattan Free School, theRestaurant Opportunities Center of New York, ACT UP, and Healthcare NOW! NYC. There will be an info booth at the park with more information on where to go.
If you’re completely new to Occupy, the Spring Awakening also has a place for you. Keep an eye out for “occu-mentors” walking around the park. They will be ready to have a discussion with you about how your interests match up with OWS and how you can get plugged in to the movement.
The event is also meant to be family-friendly and help parents get involved in OWS. The day is planned in a way so as to avoid the police confrontation that often comes with Occupy events. An OWS activist mom, Rivka Gewirtz Little, says “It is families who are living under the effects of crushing debt, foreclosures, joblessness, public school closings, and police harassment against their children. We as parents want to get involved with Occupy Wall Street, but we don’t always know how, and frankly it can be scary to bring our children into the unknown. Yet we are natural community organizers. We bake enough cookies to support entire school programs, and pressure the Department of Education like no one else. Spring Awakening 2012 will show parents how to take these organizing skills and plug into Occupy Wall Street and other community based organizations to make change.”
So whether you are a long-time activist, new to the game, or haven’t figured out where to get started, the Spring Awakening will have a space for you. Don’t miss the opportunity to get plugged-in and make a difference to your world and communities.

Sigma Software featured in top-100 outsourcing 2018 by IAOP
Recently IAOP (the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals) has released the 2018 list of the World’s best Outsourcing Providers. Sigma Software is proud to be listed by this prestigious ranking for the third consecutive year.
Every year the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals, founded in 2005, conducts research into the quality of outsourcing services provided by professional services firms. Based on the research, the association reveals the list of the top 100 providers that offer the full spectrum of outsourcing services (across industries and functional areas). The companies are judged on several key factors: size and growth, quality of services and delivery, innovation and the way how corporate social responsibility is embedded in the company`s operations. The Global Outsourcing 100 serves as a reference for enterprises seeking new and expanded relationships with the best services companies in the industry.
What benefits for the company, its customers, partners, and employees, sees Anatoly Kochetov, Delivery Director at Sigma Software?
Anatoly, in your opinion and based on Sigma Software previous experience, what a company should be to enter the list of top-100 best outsourcing providers by IAOP?
Persistent and professional. But it`s kind of obvious. The judging is quite strict and takes into account many of the operational and business markers of the participating companies. Sigma Software entered this list not from the first try. However, we always strive for perfection; I`d say you can consider it as our unspoken motto. So, we have conducted a serious analysis, revised and optimized approaches, improved processes to be successfully featured to the Top-100 Outsourcing list in 2016.
At Sigma Software, we pay a lot of attention to the principles of CSR and believe that the big idea standing behind our business is as important as our mission. For us, the big idea is creating a strong and stable environment for IT development in Ukraine, through work with government and professional associations, improving education, promoting the country as a huge IT hub, and more. A serious focus we put into development of the IT community, experience exchange and networking.
In order to meet the growing needs of customers, we continuously improve our technical excellence and develop our expertise in various directions including the very trending ones: AR/VR, infotainment, Machine Learning, and others. Within our R&D centers, we master cutting-edge technologies that are not even a trend yet, but will be in a year or two. Thus, we can offer our Customers the in-theater experience on the fields that are still getting on the peak.
With this knowledge and aspiration for exploring new technologies, combined with applying the best practices and approaches on a daily basis, we can provide with services of a premier quality to companies of any size and in any industry.
Why Sigma Software considers participating in this ranking as an important step anyway?
Our mission is to provide high-quality services to our customers around the world, help them achieve their business goals and conquer new heights. The IAOP list actually proves that we relentlessly follow this mission.
It is also a confirmation that Sigma Software specialists are on the same page with clients and can actually understand the way how a customer thinks, thus they are able to see a few steps ahead. This is a factor of great importance to any business when your partner understands at a glance what you`re saying, knows what solution you need without asking you a hundred of questions, comes to you with ideas that exactly fit your requirements, offers the most suitable models of cooperation, etc.
The International Association of Outsourcing Professionals not only scores companies. It also provides individuals with a specific certification (Certified Outsourcing Professional). An extensive guide through best outsourcing practices is a great helper in plunging deep into clients` mind and becoming their valuable partner, not just contractor. Being certified by IAOP, Sigma Software specialists prove that they are able to see and prevent the risks before they arise. Yet even some risks are not identified in time, our experts have effective tools and every knowledge in hand to solve them quickly and without serious consequences.
It all allow us earning a great deal of trust from our Customers and make them choose us for long-term cooperation.
Does the fact that Sigma Software is listed by IAOP influence employees as well?
Well, I think it does. First, it is an opportunity for IT specialists to work with experts acknowledged by the international organization, learn from them and gain access to wide professional expertise that is used by the world`s most successful outsourcing companies.
Moreover, taking part in this ranking opens new edges of outsourcing and presents it in a much wider sense that we are used to think of it. It`s not only custom software development. Modern outsourcing is a high-tech field that covers technologies of the future, the field that is constantly changing and evolving. Customers are very demanding today, they expect that you change and evolve with them and even faster.
This is what IAOP ranking demonstrates selecting the most progressive companies. It is our pleasure to be a part of this distinguished list.

On 2 December 2013, the Somali parliament passed a no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon Said as 184 Ministers of Parliament (MPs) out of 250 present voted to oust the head of government who was approved in October 2012.
Rumors of a rift between President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and the PM appeared sporadically over the past few months, even as the two stated at the outset that they would do away with government infighting of the past.
Africa Intelligence claimed that the vote was “not entirely along clan lines” as many in Shirdon’s Darod clan and Marehan sub-clan voted against him. Whether bribery or other incentives played a part in the vote is usually a topic of conversation but exact details on what kind of horse-trading occurred are hard to verify.
Shirdon stated that some of his own cabinet members failed to back him in the hope that they would keep their positions in a new government.
Some of these cabinet ministers such as State Minister Farah Sheikh Abdulkadir and Interior Minister Abdikarim Hussein Guled have long been seen as very close to the president and members of the Dam Jadiid (“New Blood”) religious group.
Dam Jadiid is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated al-Islah group and at times is characterized–often by Hassan’s opponents–as strongly influencing the president. Hassan has stated that he is not a member of the group.
The no-confidence vote paves the way for President Hassan to appoint a new Prime Minister who upon parliamentary confirmation will select his or her new cabinet.
To optimists in Somalia and the international community, Shirdon’s dismisal was a success in a way because it was carried out through a contested—but legitimate—process by the country’s first permanent lawmaking body in decades.
It certainly was more institutionally healthy than the Kampala Accord struck outside Somalia’s borders at end of the mandate of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) in 2011.
In Kampala, mediation by regional power player and Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni helped to extend the political life of two bickering politicians—Parliament Speaker Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden and President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed.
Nevertheless, the nature of conflict between the big three (President, PM, and Parliament Speaker) may persist due to the differences between authorities outlined in the provisional constitution and how these authorities actually play out in reality.
Article 97(3) of the provisional constitution notes, “The Prime Minister shall appoint deputy prime ministers, ministers, state ministers, and deputy ministers.”
Importantly under Article 90(e), the president is not given the specific power of dismissing the PM, which is left to the parliament as a key separation of power.
Instead, the president can “dismiss ministers, state ministers and deputy ministers on the recommendation of the Prime Minister.” (Emphasis added)
These details are important because the riff between the President and PM reportedly originated in part as a result of a disagreement over which ministers would participate in a reshuffled cabinet.
Instead of the PM retaining the ultimate constitutional authority over his choices in the cabinet, President Mohamud appeared to act similarly to past presidents in “asking” the PM to resign—teetering the fuzzy line between giving a request (as opposed to an order) and directly undermining the PM’s standing through his overall political influence.
Whether or not Shirdon was a competent PM is an independent and critical issue. That his ouster appeared to originate from the office of the presidency is a concern to the stability in the council of ministers and separation of powers among the branches of government as outlined in the provisional constitution.
The president’s perceived overreach could entrench opinions of those who believe he is inappropriately expanding influence for himself and his much talked about allies.
In special regard to Somalia’s socio-political environment in the last decade, realpolitik and the political flairs of the President, PM, and Parliament Speaker and their allies appear to be as important as the constitutional responsibilities entreated to each officeholder.
At the same time, this environment is a product of the growing pains that nascent institutions in Mogadishu must overcome in the long-term by building the capacity of each branch of government.
There are no statistically reliable polls that have measured overall approval of the Somali parliament, but the recent emergence of the #YouKnowHeIsSomaliMP hashtag on Twitter provided some insight into perceptions of the generally stagnant lawmaking body.
Many would say that Parliament Speaker Mohamed Osman Jawari is a constitutional scholar and respected member of society.
But, he has had difficulties getting MPs to attend Parliament and to fulfill their basic obligations on key issues such as the provisional constitution, the federalism process, and passing any laws.
As a result, improving the functionality of the parliament and its role in helping to sustain a balance of power in government will be key to addressing the patterns of competition that have characterized past feuds and inhibited gains made in other areas.

The climate crisis has receded from much of the public’s focus since the pandemic began. Instead, many have watched in horror as the number of cases and deaths from Covid-19 rose around the world, with the bungled responses in the United Kingdom and the United States standing out among those of the Western countries.
But that doesn’t change the fact that this decade will be decisive. If we fail to act soon, the climate that we have to live in and pass on to future generations will be much hotter, harsher, and even more cruel than that which we have today. The pandemic cannot be an excuse to delay climate action. We should seize on one of the most visible changes of the past few months to ensure we’re still making progress.
It’s been startling to see how quickly ideas about streets, how they should be used, and who has a right to them have changed since lockdowns eased. In London, areas of the city were closed to car traffic to give people space to walk and cycle, and the pedestrianisation of Soho was notably hailed as a success.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson even announced £2 billion in funding for cycling infrastructure and programmes, hailing a “golden age of cycling,” yet he’ll have quite a ways to go if that’s to be the case. In 1949, people cycled 14.7 billion miles in Britain; after decades of automobile use, the figure was just 3.33 billion miles in 2018. The ambition is welcome, if it’s genuine, but as activists noted, that would mean redirecting the £27 billion for road building to better uses.
But cycling alone will never be enough for a truly sustainable transportation system. In recent years, there’s been a big focus on encouraging drivers to buy electric vehicles instead of those powered by gas or diesel. The government still offers a £3,000 rebate on such purchases — it used to be much higher — but electric vehicles won’t solve the problems of a transport system based around automobiles.
1,770 died on British roads in the twelve months leading up to June 2018, and another 26,610 people were injured. Globally, 1.35 million people die in vehicle crashes every year. Swapping out internal combustion engines for electric motors won’t change that.
The focus on electric vehicles also ignores how resource-intensive they are. We’re rightfully concerned about the destructive impacts of fossil fuel extraction, but building the large batteries required for electric vehicles would significantly increase demand for a range of minerals and there’s no credible evidence that mining wouldn’t come with damage to the environment and harm to communities in the Global South. In essence, we would continue our exploitative relationship with less developed countries to soothe our consciences, not to actually solve the problem.
But the pandemic has shown us another reason to be concerned about the continued dominance of automobiles, electric or otherwise. Exposure to air pollution has been linked to more severe cases of Covid-19 and higher rates of deaths because of how air pollution affects the body. But air pollution doesn’t just come from the tailpipe of automobiles, as many people believe.
Tyres, brakes, and dust on roads account for a lot of the air pollution we breathe, and since electric vehicles tend to be heavier than those powered by gas or diesel because of their large batteries, they can actually produce more of those forms of particulate matter.
This isn’t to say that everyone should keep driving their gas- and diesel-powered cars or that everyone needs to start riding a bike (though the more the merrier in that case). Replacing much of the car use in cities and towns around the United Kingdom (and the rest of the world) will require high-quality transit systems that give people the freedom to easily get around without needing their own vehicle.
Transit has obviously been impacted by the pandemic and social distancing requirements, but that doesn’t mean its key role has changed. The government has given additional funding to Transport for London and other transit operators around the country to ensure they can keep their services running, but this must also be a time to think about what the future of transit should be.
In London, the open streets programme should be built on to reduce the road space dedicated to cars to expand bike lanes and dedicated bus lanes to ensure buses can move more quickly through the city. But there also needs to be a recognition that people need to be able to afford to use the service.
Before the pandemic, London earned the title of most expensive transit fares in the world. That clearly isn’t sustainable. Buses were made free during the worst part of the pandemic, but will have to raise fares again and cut free fares for under-18s as a condition of the bailout from the Conservative government.
Higher fares will not encourage anyone to use transit, especially not to ditch their car to take the bus or the Tube. Instead, as Chris Saltmarsh has argued for Tribune, transit needs to made free and treated as the public service it truly is — and that can’t just be in London.
The deregulation of bus services across England, with the exception of London, by Margaret Thatcher’s government took power out of the hands of local authorities and gave it to private operators. That has resulted in higher fares and many fewer routes that have naturally led to declining bus ridership at the very moment governments need to be encouraging people to use transit by making frequent, high-quality services available in communities around the country.
Obviously, ridership will be lower until there’s a vaccine for Covid-19, but that doesn’t mean that people need to be scared of transit. Many countries, including France and Japan, have shown that with the proper precautions transit can be made safe so the virus doesn’t spread to other passengers. Seoul, which has been very successful at containing the virus, still has plenty of people using transit with mask requirements, additional capacity, and increased cleaning.
The pandemic deserves our best effort to reduce the spread of Covid-19 and to ensure as few people as possible die during this period. But that can’t be a reason to ignore the climate crisis. To that end, the change in how we think about streets has been a rare positive development. It should be seized on to build a better transportation system with more support for cyclists and a much more robust role for transit in communities across the United Kingdom.

Water Heater Wiring Diagram Dual Element – rheem water heater wiring diagram dual element, water heater wiring diagram dual element, Every electric arrangement is composed of various different pieces. Each component ought to be set and connected with other parts in specific way. Otherwise, the arrangement will not work as it should be. In order to make sure that the electric circuit is built correctly, Water Heater Wiring Diagram Dual Element is needed. How does this diagram aid with circuit building?
The diagram offers visual representation of an electric arrangement. On the other hand, the diagram is a simplified version of the structure. It makes the process of assembling circuit simpler. This diagram provides advice of circuit’s components as well as their own placements.
Components of Water Heater Wiring Diagram Dual Element and Some Tips
There are just two things that will be present in any Water Heater Wiring Diagram Dual Element. The first element is symbol that indicate electrical component from the circuit. A circuit is generally composed by numerous components. Another thing which you will locate a circuit diagram could be traces. Lines in the diagram show how every component connects to one another.
The positions of circuit’s components are relative, not exact. The arrangement is also not plausible, unlike wiring schematics. Diagram only shows where to put component at a spot relative to other components within the circuit. Even though it’s exemplary, diagram is a fantastic basis for everyone to construct their own circuit.
One thing that you must learn before studying a circuit diagram would be the symbols. Every symbol that is presented on the diagram reveals specific circuit component. The most common elements are capacitor, resistor, and battery. There are also other elements such as ground, switch, motor, and inductor. It all rides on circuit that is being built.
According to previous, the lines in a Water Heater Wiring Diagram Dual Element represents wires. Occasionally, the cables will cross. But, it does not imply connection between the cables. Injunction of 2 wires is generally indicated by black dot at the intersection of two lines. There will be main lines that are represented by L1, L2, L3, etc. Colours can also be utilized to differentiate cables.
Usually, there are two chief kinds of circuit links. The primary one is called series link. It’s the simpler type of link as circuit’s components are put within a specified line. Due to that the electrical current in each and every part is comparable while voltage of the circuit is total of voltage in every component.
Parallel relationship is more complicated than the show one. Unlike in series connection, the voltage of every component is comparable. It is because the element is directly connected to electricity supply. This circuit consists of branches which are passed by distinct electrical current amounts. The current joins together when the branches meet.
There are lots of things that an engineer should pay attention to when drawing wirings diagram. To start with, the symbols used in the diagram ought to be precise. It should represent the exact component needed to build a planned circuit. After the symbol is incorrect or uncertain, the circuit will not function because it is supposed to.
It is also highly advised that engineer brings positive supply and negative source symbols for clearer interpretation. Usually positive supply emblem (+) is located over the line. Meanwhile, the negative source symbol is set below it. The current flows in the left to right.
In addition to this, diagram drawer is recommended to limit the number of line crossing. The line and part placement should be made to lessen it. However, if it is inevitable, use universal symbol to indicate whether there’s a junction or when the lines aren’t really connected.
Because you can begin drawing and interpreting Water Heater Wiring Diagram Dual Element may be complicated undertaking on itself. The information and suggestions that have been elaborated above ought to be a excellent kick start, though. Water Heater Wiring Diagram Dual Element

Vancouver Window Tinting
Window tint or window film is an essential element for any car or truck but it is one of the things that many car owners tend to overlook. If you want your car to keep functioning at its best, you need to have the window film serviced from time to time, just like a proper wax, polish, and buff. If you haven't thought about your car's windows, now may be the time! Window tint serves multiple purposes and is a great way to protect the interior upholstery and surfaces of your car, extending its life and maintaining its value.
At Auto Detailing Vancouver, our certified detailing team is experienced in applying window tint and can answer any questions you might have. Learn more about our Vancouver window tinting services below!
Benefits of Tinted Windows
- Protects your car's upholstery – The sun's ultraviolet rays can be damaging to the skin, and it can be extremely damaging to your vehicle's interior, including the leather and the vinyl. A professionally installed window tint will protect you from the UV rays when cruising as well as shielding your car's upholstery.
- Helps regulate solar heat radiation – On hot summer days, finding the right level of air conditioning can be a challenge. A good quality window tint blocks about 40 to 60 percent of the solar heat. This means it should be easy for you to find the perfect air conditioning level and also minimize fuel consumption.
- Adds another safety factor to your car – This is probably the most important function of a high-grade window film. In case of a collision, cars without window film have a higher risk of shattering the glass, which can cause severe injuries. Properly installed window tint makes it harder for glass to break, but if it does, it can prevent the glass from flying in all directions.
- Provides more privacy and security – There are different types of shading when it comes to window tinting, but regardless of the type, it offers more security and privacy for you and your loved ones.
Do your current window tints need refreshing?
You can look out for these signs if you want to know whether your car windows require fresh film or tints.
- High-quality tint installed correctly has clean and small edges. When you roll down your windows, you'll see the film at the window's edge. If it's not installed properly, you will find that the edges are uneven.
- Are there bubbles? Even a small bubble on the window tint can distort your view which can be a safety hazard when driving. A professionally installed tint won't allow bubbles to pop up anywhere of the surface of the window.
- Not all dark shades are high-quality tints. Do not make the mistake of assuming that all dark shades block the sun effectively. To test it, have your car parked outside and put one hand behind the window and the other hand in direct sunlight. You'll be able to tell the difference. If not, your window tints may need to be changed.
Choosing the Best Window Tints
There are a few different types of window tints, but you don't have to worry about finding or choosing the one that best suits your vehicle. The right window tinting varies from place to place, depending on the state laws and climate conditions. You may be aware that some states do not allow darker films. Our technicians at auto detailing Vancouver are well aware of the laws in Washington and Oregon regarding window tinting. They'll help you choose the best type of tints that will provide optimum protection, and add to the beauty of your car.

A delicious jam, exceptionally cheap to make, especially if you have a free source of rhubarb. It is very easy to grow, coming up every year without fail. Don’t be shy about asking friends and neighbours if they have any spare when you see it growing – it’s surprising how much sits there unused in gardens – and you can give them a pot of the resulting jam as a thank you!
Use the same weight of rhubarb as sugar, for 3 or 4 jars we used: 1 kilo rhubarb sticks; 1 kilo preserving sugar (theoretically cheaper as it’s not ground up fine but if you find discounted sugar go for it – it’s all much the same!); juice of 2 lemons; a thumb sized piece of fresh ginger.
Layer up a bowl with rhubarb and sugar and leave to sit overnight. Next day, pour it into a pan with the lemon and ginger and bring to the boil. Turn down to simmer until the rhubarb is all mushy and the sugar mix is thickening. This is much quicker with rhubarb than many other fruit jams and it can be done in about 20 minutes. Leave to cool, remove ginger piece and then pour into jars.
Another simple way to use rhubarb is in a crumble or pie. It can be used in place of apples in our apple pie recipe.

Leslie Bean de Barra (neé Price) was born in Dublin in 1893. De Barra’s legacy is one of rebellion and leadership and her partnership with General Tom Barry, the leader of the IRA’s flying column in West Cork, is fitting as the pair married in 1921. As de Barra played a role in the 1916 Rising and the War of Independence, many people will think of her only in this context. In remembering the legacy of such an important woman, however, her work and time with the Irish Red Cross is something to be celebrated.
De Barra’s work in the Irish Red Cross began with the inception of the Society in 1939, and paving her way through the ranks in leadership roles, she was subsequently nominated as Irish Red Cross chairperson in August 1950. De Barra was then reappointed as chairperson of the Society in 1953 and stayed in this position for more than two decades.
De Barra did not conform with many of the gendered stereotypes that were prevalent in mid-twentieth century Ireland and instead dedicated her time to championing important causes for vulnerable people while maintaining a position of leadership and power.
– Leslie Bean de Barra, Ireland
”Women are a bit of a drag on men who are fighting”
Interestingly, de Barra expressed opinions that seemed at odds with her own actions. Speaking of her experiences during the Rising, she said “women, especially married women are a bit of a drag on men who are fighting. I noticed it particularly in the North King Street area … there were a couple of young married women on duty and their husbands were in the same area.” Describing her annoyance with these women, who arrived on scene during the action asking after their husband’s whereabouts, de Barra remembered that she had thought at the time “the three of you, it would be good for you to clear off”.
This no-nonsense attitude deployed by de Barra appears to have filtered right down into her leadership in the National Society and while on one hand critical of her fellow female comrades, it is worth noting women were afforded the same rank as men in the Irish Citizen Army and can understand de Barra here to be exercising her desire to get the job done at hand, with no distractions interrupting her - or her fellow comrades.
De Barra worked tirelessly to champion the values of the Red Cross and was particularly insistent on the role of the Irish Red Cross as an auxiliary to the armed forces during conflict and maintaining its independence, one of the core principles to the movement. De Barra worked to ensure that the Department of Defence agreed that the Society could wear the Red Cross uniform and act as an auxiliary to the medical services of the armed forces during conflict.
Another commendable achievement of the Irish Red Cross, with de Barra at its helm, was the establishment of services to address the needs of the elderly community in Ireland. In the absence of any state geriatric policy or funding, dialogue was initiated with the Irish government and the designation of the title “Our Old People’s Year” for 1965 was also introduced by the Irish Red Cross. This provided much needed recognition for the older community.
– Leslie Bean de Barra, Ireland
She refused to ignore the plight of those in search of safety
In the 1950’s de Barra’s Red Cross team had the responsibility for the refugees coming to Ireland. This was by no means an easy feat as the Irish economy was facing great difficulties and the climate was hard. But her refusal to ignore the plight of those fleeing their home countries in search of safety is something which the Irish Red Cross reflects on with pride. That de Barra could foster and encourage this sentiment within Irish society is a great achievement – and it is a sentiment which is now more than ever important to keep within the public discourse.
In 1978 De Barra was honoured with the Henry Dunant medal for her contribution to the Red Cross movement. She passed away in April 1984. Today she is remembered in the Leslie Bean de Barra Trophy, an award that acknowledges the commitment of informal carers at home and in the community, a fitting legacy in Leslie Bean de Barra’s name.
Over 75 countries have established quota policies to ensure more women have leadership roles within domestic politics.

Kaizer Chiefs and AmaZulu will both be looking to bounce back from Absa Premiership defeat when they meet at FNB Stadium on 17 March 2018, kick-off at 18h00.
Chiefs saw their unbeaten run ended at nine matches when they lost 3-1 away to Soweto rivals Orlando Pirates on March 3. They have won just one of their last five matches to effectively drop out of title contention.
The Amakhosi have claimed just 15 points from 11 home matches this season, with their last game as hosts ending in a goalless draw against Bloemfontein Celtic in late February.
AmaZulu have gone three league matches without a win after they were beaten 3-1 at home by Mamelodi Sundowns on March 2. The Durban side’s last win was at home to local rivals Golden Arrows in early February.
Usuthu have claimed just 10 points from 11 away matches this season, with their last game on the road a goalless draw at Free State Stars in late February.
In head-to-head stats, AmaZulu and Chiefs have met in 53 league matches since 1985. The Amakhosi have claimed 33 wins compared to seven for Usuthu, while 13 matches have been drawn. The Soweto side has won 20 of their 27 home league matches against their Durban counterparts, suffering just two defeats in the process.
When the teams met earlier this season in a league clash in Durban in November 2017, they played out a goalless stalemate. The result broke a run of six successive league wins for Chiefs, but they remain unbeaten against AmaZulu since the 2006/07 season.

Iceland24 - Iceland Travel Blog
The most popular way to see the island is to drive around our famous Ring Road. This 1,332 km (828 miles) highway circumnavigates the entire island and will take you to some of our most famous sites. With gorgeous scenery and jaw-dropping views, you’ll quickly understand why many consider visiting Iceland to be the trip of a lifetime. Where else can you find volcanoes and glaciers commingling?
We can tell you exactly what to know before traveling to Iceland. Browse our wide selection of articles that range from picking the right vehicle for your journey to the best restaurants in Reykjavik. You can start planning your Iceland itinerary by thinking about which popular attractions you’d most like to see. From Askja Caldera in Vatnajökull National Park to Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall on Snaefellsnes Peninsula, we’ve got you covered.
What to know before traveling to Iceland
Iceland is a place unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before. This is why I highly recommend reading anything and everything you can before you embark upon your road trip. Iceland 24 blog is your ultimate guide to all things Iceland. Take a look at what to pack and wear for your trip, the things you need to know about Icelandic gas stations, driving safety, and other practical concerns.
We offer more than just a list of the top things to see and do. This is an Iceland travel tips blog, so you’ll find absolutely everything on here. From learning about Iceland’s past and Viking history to even picking up a few words of Icelandic and more. We have hundreds of articles with a wealth of knowledge that covers any topic you could possibly want to know about.
It’s easy to do a quick search to find posts related to the topics that most interest you. Iceland is somewhere that you can travel at any time of the year. So of course, if you’re thinking of visiting in the summer you’ll need different information and different activities then if you come in the winter. For example, if you are hoping to see the Northern Lights in Iceland, you would need to come between mid-September and mid-March.
As preparation for your trip, I would take a look at the posts regarding the weather and how windy it gets so that you know what to expect.
How to Plan a Trip to Iceland
There are a million different possibilities for Iceland itineraries, so the one that’s right for you depends entirely upon your budget, your interests, and how much time you have for your vacation. We’ll talk about the most popular attractions in a moment, and that can help you decide how to move forward with planning your trip.
One of the first big questions you’ll need to tackle is the type of transportation that you will choose. Some people opt to rent a car while others feel that a campervan or motorhome rental is the better choice. Rental cars are great if you’ve got the budget to just stay in hotels, hostels and guesthouses along your route. You can also take day tours from Reykjavik or from various points along the Ring Road.
The other option is to rent an RV, whether that be a campervan or a motorhome. Please note that motorhome rental is only available during the warmer summer months. Whichever vehicle you decide to use, keep in mind that if you’re going to visit the Icelandic Highlands, you need to have a 4×4 rental. You can only get this with a 4-wheel drive SUV or a 4×4 camper van.
So let’s look at all there is to see and do when you visit Iceland in order to pick the right transportation and start planning your itinerary.
What to See and Do When You Visit Iceland
The list of things to do when you visit Iceland is seemingly endless. From the world-famous Blue Lagoon to the moss-covered lava fields close to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. The black sand beaches of Vik and sea stacks at Reynisfjara Beach are also out of this world. The hexagonal basalt columns give the cliff face an unusual appearance, one like it’s from another planet.
Whether you’re traveling to Iceland alone or as part of a group, you also don’t want to miss out visiting a national park in Iceland. There are plenty to choose from and all offer different activities and attractions. Thingvellir National Park is part of the larger Golden Circle route, one of the best day trips from Reykjavik. There’s also Vatnajökull National Park where you can hike a glacier or explore an ice cave.
This is one of the many things you can do if you are an outdoor enthusiast or just love being in nature. Another one is exploring the geothermal areas all around the island. Because we sit right on the plate boundary of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, we’ve got a lot of volcanic activity. All of this subterranean heat means you’ll find places like Landmannalaugar dotted with hot springs.
This also results in hot pots, which are natural hot tubs, and public bathing places like the heated swimming pool at Hofsós.
If you come during the summer, you’ll be fortunate enough to experience the neverending light of the Midnight Sun. It’s really cool to still be bathed in full daylight at 11 p.m.
Travel Iceland Cheap
Traveling Iceland on a budget is something else you’ll want to know about for your trip. We have lots of different articles about ways to save money on everything from flights to food to accommodation. If you’re curious about how to travel Iceland cheap, this is definitely the travel blog for you.
Iceland Solo Travel
Another big issue that’s comes up with visitors is traveling to Iceland alone. Many people wonder “Will I be safe traveling by myself to Iceland?” or “Is it okay that I only speak English?”. Not only is it a safe country where most of the natives speak perfect English, Iceland is actually a great country for solo travelers. Read our articles about hiking waterfalls like Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss or spend some time reflecting as you look out from the Diamond Beach.
Travel to Iceland: There are So Many Questions
There really are so many things to know when you want to take a trip to this magical place. When is the best time to travel to Iceland? What should you pack and wear? What do you need to include on your itinerary and what should you leave off? It’s our sincere hope that we can also answer all of these questions and more so that you can be prepared for your trip.
Because Iceland is unlike anywhere you’ve ever experienced, you will not only find answers to your most pressing questions. As you prepare, you’ll discover things that you didn’t even realize you needed to know about. That’s one of the great things about having a resource like this. Because we are local experts on the ground with years of experience in the travel industry, we can tell you what to expect. And that’s half the battle.
Preparation is key, especially when you’re traveling somewhere so foreign to what you may be used to. But don’t let that discourage you. It’s different in a good way. You’ll have once in a lifetime experiences and be able to do things you can’t do anywhere else on Earth. You’ll witness things that are completely unique to Iceland that not many people can say they’ve seen.
Get Ready For The Ultimate Adventure
There are lots to do to get ready for your amazing journey. I hope we’ve inspired you and given some ideas about where to begin. Once you start learning, you’ll want to keep learning more about this breathtaking, naturally blessed place. So order those merino wool thermals and waterproof hiking boots from Amazon. Set up price fare alerts to get the best deals on your flight. Get a good camera to capture all of the natural beauty surrounding you. And start dreaming of your upcoming trip to the Land of Fire and Ice.

Embracing Fear and Turbulence
Interview with Dov Frohman co-author of "Leadership the Hard Way: Why Leadership Can't Be Taught - and How You Can Learn It Anyway"
"Leadership is a matter of courage: a willingness to take risks and do the unexpected; to make judgments with no data or, at best, inadequate data; to face one's fear of failure." How do we learn to lead like that? According to Dov Frohman and Robert Howard, co-authors of Leadership the Hard Way
, by teaching ourselves using our wits, our intelligence, our observation, our intuition and our life experience.
Vern Burkhardt (VB):
In the introduction to your book you say "I don't believe you necessarily have to be a CEO to be a leader" – as was the case in your leadership contribution. Is leadership from within often more effective than leadership from the top?
Not necessarily more effective but with a different and often better organizational perspective. If you promote a culture of 'everybody should be a leader in their own sphere of influence' you can achieve excellent performance compared to relying only on leadership from the top.
When you were starting up Intel Israel you "wanted people not only to avoid complacency but also to feel that they – and they alone – were responsible for their own fate." What did you do to encourage this?
I created a "culture of survival" built around a few simple slogans like "Be the Best" and "Do the Impossible." Once you set very high performance targets and expectations, people understand that in order for their team to excel each individual needs to be a leader and contribute at the highest level. As a result it was natural for people in the organization to align with the goal of being "The last operation to close down if Intel Corp gets in trouble." This meant that individual excellence was adequate, but not sufficient, since the ultimate test of survival was in the whole team's performance.
How did having people feel they were responsible for their own fate affect your hiring, reward and promotion processes?
In terms of hiring, it projected to the outside 'world' an image of uncompromising integrity and excellence. The result was that people with high professional capability would apply to prove they could meet the high entry threshold requirements. This considerably facilitated the hiring of a top team. Our screening of candidates was based on fitting into the organization culture and professional excellence.
Promotion criteria were a combination of individual performance to targets, contribution to team goals, and efforts in developing future infrastructure. This meant that not only short term contribution but also support of the long term vision was considered. It was quite common for me to judge the individual performance ratings in a team to be too high since the overall performance of the team and the organization during that period was rather mediocre.
You speak of the relationship between survival and fear saying, "a leader must know how to navigate fear...neither to exaggerate fear nor to eliminate it, but rather to contain it." Your book is about corporate leadership. Would you recommend the same approach to fear for political leaders?
While the book is based on my corporate leadership experience, the approach is really applicable to just about any kind of organization. It definitely applies to the political arena. However, my ideas about "fear" can be easily misinterpreted.
Here's my main point: any crisis generates fear. To a degree, that fear can be healthy when a good leader leverages it to turn a crisis into an opportunity. On the other hand, weak leaders tend to cause fear to be paralyzing. The result is a timid, defensive organization where a "siege mentality" dominates.
Are you aware of one or two instances when a political leader has used this approach successfully?
The most common trend in this century is for leaders to promote paralyzing fear. This is partly because they are concerned with their personal political security; and partly, because they appear to be interested in 'securing' the longevity of the security establishment.
If we go back to the previous century I can find at least two instances where fear was leveraged positively. One was De Gaul's resolution of the Algeria war in the late 1950s. He realized that French colonialism in Algeria was doomed to failure in the long term. He very effectively used the French colonists' fear of a compromise solution to the conflict, and the French citizens' fear of a prolonged and bloody impasse. Rather than exaggerating either, he navigated towards the most radical solution, negotiating with the Algerian National Front for the Evian peace agreement, which involved Algerian independence and the French colonists having the option of returning to France.
The second one was the unilateral declaration of independence by Ben-Gurion in 1948 in the face of an imminent British-supported Arab onslaught. In this case, he acted against the current of those who feared that if the Jewish community in Palestine declared independence, the world would denounce the decision, and the Arab nations would attack anyway. He never resorted to painting the Arabs as demons in order to marshal support for his decision and to some extent did not exaggerate the level of fear of Arab superiority in numbers to make his decision more palatable, and get the temporary government's support for the declaration.
You believe "it is impossible – and unwise – to eliminate fear completely." Yet, for many people, fear is so stressful they will make eliminating fear their primary objective. Did you find your approach to containing fear was successful with all levels of staff at Intel Israel?
In an organization focused on survival, no fear means no risk, and no risk-taking means, paradoxically, that your survival is at risk! This is similar to my notion that, if there is no resistance to change in an organization, then the change is probably not radical enough.
Of course, fear is always stressful, especially in crisis situations.
But instead of trying to eliminate fear – which is, in any case, impossible. It is better to recognize calmly the reality and do your best to contain the effects.
A good example of that was what we did during the First Gulf War. By framing our actions during that crisis in terms of "what we have to do to ensure our future," we got people to look beyond their fear and focus on maintaining the performance of the business. Naturally, the deeper you go into the organization, the more likely you will find some dissent with this approach and a wish for "guaranteed security." But even in these ranks, there were local leaders who helped alleviate the fear by building the confidence of their teams that they could meet the challenge.
But please understand what I am not saying. I am completely opposed to leaders creating an atmosphere of fear of failure. That leads directly to people shying away from risk in an attempt to avoid failure. Individual and team failure should not be handled through 'punishment' but rather through lessons learned to improve the future decision making.
Given your belief that "in situations in which survival is at stake, a certain degree of fear is inevitable", and that the threats to business, society, or government survival are greater now than ever before, do you think we need to hire and elect different kinds of people to leadership roles than we have in the past? Are some personality types going to find it easier to navigate the new types of turbulence than others?
Yes. I happen to believe that people who have survived a difficult childhood and adolescence and managed to excel against all odds are better candidates than those who have had an uneventful upbringing.
For example, I believe the unusualness of Barack Obama's upbringing—the fact that his father left at an early age, that he lived in a foreign country – Indonesia – as a young boy, and that he had to struggle with defining himself as a black American coming from a bi-racial family are all experiences that have made him the mature leader that he seems to be.
Overcoming major barriers without compromising integrity at a more advanced age is also a promising qualification. However, we tend to base our selection more on a candidate's knowledge than on their experience. Leadership potential is far less the product of specific skills or personality types than it is of life experiences. As a result, some 'unlikely' candidates may rise to the occasion and excel under the most demanding circumstances.
You say, "a determined focus on all the things that can possibly go wrong can be extremely mobilizing and galvanizing". How do you think things in Iraq would have played out if the Bush administration had embraced this approach?
The main problem in Bush's approach to Iraq was using a paralyzing fear, the threat that Iraq might have weapons of mass destruction, as the excuse for starting the war. He also consistently used paralyzing fear of terrorism to justify abrogation of civil liberties.
It is interesting to note that in our culture, a willingness to declare war is considered a sign of strength and a willingness to talk or negotiate is considered a sign of weakness. But declaring war without weighing the long term consequences is 'the easy way'; while an attempted resolution through negotiation is 'the hard way'. In most cases in the long term the return on investment on 'the hard way' is much higher. Nevertheless, most leaders elect to go to war first and negotiate a settlement at the end.
I would coin a guiding phrase for leaders involved in a potential armed conflict; 'If you are not strong enough to talk you are not strong enough to win a war'.
Now to answer your question... if Bush had used a worst case analysis he would have mobilized the American people towards a negotiated settlement and not have gone to war.
You required your staff at Intel Israel to put hand grenade icons beside "every point where there was even the least question of potential jeopardy" when making slide presentations of proposals. Rather than becoming an obstacle to the implementation of these proposals, it in fact encouraged more discussion and more comfort with the potential risks and therefore greater likelihood of going ahead with the project. Do you think this has anything to do with the fact that the human mind is more fearful of an unexpressed or hidden threat or danger than by one recognized, acknowledged and understood?
The human mind is naturally more fearful of hidden threats. If we recognize the threat we will try to do something about it. However, in this case the potential risks were not exactly hidden in the sense that managers knew about them. The problem was, they would try to "slip them by me" by putting them on the last slide of the presentation! But that was so late in the presentation that we really didn't have the time or energy to consider them fully.
The simple and even a bit silly idea of the grenade icon was to get us to focus on the risks in context; their main advantage was that they forced people to highlight what were perceived as minor risks which did not deserve mention, while, in my view, they turned out to be major ones.
In hindsight, the most significant impact of the grenades was in forcing people to think in term of the worst case. Since our prediction capability of future adverse events and developments is minimal, the worst case scenarios may hit on an unexpected eventuality and we will be ready for it.
When Intel Israel was working on your program "Sixty-Six Cents or Die" aimed at lowering your production costs by 75% you say "people worked so hard and were so creative...they did not realize just how extraordinary their performance was." Your employees probably also felt happier and more fulfilled while working on this challenge. Can this kind of intensity be sustained over the long term, or does it need to be broken up by stretches of time when an organization is following established routines?
I believe this kind of intensity needs to be sustained, and can be sustained, until you finally achieve your goal. When you are "insisting on survival," the periods of respite tend to be quite short.
I have always stated in this context that a challenged person in an exciting endeavor can work continuously without sleep for a period of time while a frustrated person in a hopeless assignment will tire out in a few hours!
You speak of the importance of resistance and say "often the goal of the leader should be to maximize resistance" and that doing so "can help you understand the fears, concerns and perspectives of the people in the organization". Is this a principle that could be usefully applied to all aspects of life?
Definitely yes. Maximizing resistance is the best approach to get the feedback needed when taking the path of least resistance in all aspects of life.
In Israel, for instance, people use a common term when facing a complex problem. They say, 'it will be alright', which means: do not ask any questions because we will work it all out. This is the best prescription for an impasse and will lead to an endless process in which the true problem will never be resolved.
Not only does maximizing resistance give leaders the feedback they need to understand where everyone is coming from, it also identifies what it will take to get the organization to work together. It can also be very effective in negotiations with other stakeholders. If you get minimum resistance in a negotiation, you are very likely the "loser."
VB: You have a rule of thumb for distinguishing between "legitimate critique and mere excuses". It is that "constructive critics are often very blunt" while "excuse-makers...often phrase their objections in ways that seem reasonable, even innocuous" and that "excuses are superficially reasonable but profoundly undermining." How did you come to this understanding?
As with most of my understandings, it is based on experience.
When a leader is driving a big change, the critical inputs are generally to either support the change in order to improve the process, or to recommend a complete re-evaluation. The excuse makers try to find reasons to undermine the process. Once you experience both kinds of input and internalize the two perspectives, you understand that the excuse makers have to be subtle to disguise their intent while the critics are very direct since they do not have anything to hide. The difference then becomes very obvious.
I'll give you an example. One kind of defensive and dishonest reaction to change that I often heard came from people who said, "It's not that we disagree with the change you are proposing; it's just that we don't have the systems in place to manage it." My response always was, "better to have our support systems lag the change than to delay it. After all, the more we change, the more it will accelerate the development of the necessary support systems!"
You stress the importance of "trying to find that opportunity in the middle of whatever the problem, challenge, or crisis of the moment may be – and taking advantage of it." What opportunities do you see that world leaders should be taking advantage of regarding the following three crises facing the world today: the economic crisis, the threat of terrorism, and the threat of catastrophic climate change?
I actually believe that the economic crisis and the threat of terrorism are interconnected. My simplistic view is that terrorism is a direct result of the economic gap between the haves and have-nots in the world. This gap is reflected in the fact that the rate of consumption in third world countries compared to developed countries is growing, and results in political unrest worldwide. So far this issue has been given only lip service by western leaders.
If any actions are taken they are always in the direction of providing fish rather than teaching people how to fish. In my opinion, September 11th was the direct result of this per capita gap. The western leaders, in turn, decided to declare war on terrorism as well as on the supporting countries, with no long-range plan and negligible results.
The real opportunity lies in a long-term strategy of decreasing the consumption gap with a relatively small impact on our standard of living, not just by supplying the Third World with fish hooks, but also by lowering western consumption levels.
Interestingly, almost all major proponents of the 'green revolution' stop short of proposing consumption belt tightening in their own countries. There is no leader at present who even mentions the intent for a long-range plan to reduce the income gap between the haves and the have-nots.
But, who knows, maybe the current economic crisis will force it. Meanwhile the atmosphere of uncertainty and insecurity that has gripped the whole world since 9/11 is generating exaggerated panic reactions to any perturbation which may have been the initial trigger for the present economic crisis.
As far as global climate change is concerned, I am not sure it is as ominous a problem as presented. There are dissenters in the scientific community who take a more sanguine position, "against the current." That makes them pariahs in the environmental community and, as a result, they are close to my heart! In any case, I am more worried that at the rate we are going, we will most likely kill each other long before climate change does.
Do you see any particular leader or country currently tackling any of these opportunities?
All are tackling the problems in the wrong direction, the 'easy way' rather than the 'hard way.' – although, as I mentioned earlier, I think Obama has had a promising start. At least, he isn't sugar-coating the problems.
By now you probably realize that Barack Obama is the closest personification of 'Leadership the Hard Way' that I can think of.
If given the chance what would you say to world leaders about dealing with these problems?
You need to change the paradigm. Stop obsessing about "security" and start articulating a vision based on long-term social education that confronts the income, consumption, and opportunity gaps in today's world.
You say good instincts are more important than good planning when leading in a crisis. How can we tell, when electing politicians, if they have good instincts?
We have to take a risk with those that may appear more intuitive, based on their past record of decision making and risk taking, as well as in tackling their own more modest crises in the past. And their ability to learn from their own mistakes.
My simplistic test would be 'is the background and life experience of potential candidates conducive to them becoming leaders the Hard Way?' Take the example of how Obama handled the "crisis" in his campaign when the videotapes of his pastor's sermons began to circulate on the Internet. He could have taken the easy way out and condemned his pastor and joined in the criticisms that everyone else was making. Instead, he chose a more "risky" path – to give a major presentation on race in America. That's true leadership. And it also turned out to be key in saving his campaign!
Often political leaders are a disappointment. They tend not to be dynamic, inspiring, honestly human, original or daring. Often it is just more of the same, even down to corruption. The media's tendency to dig up all skeletons, however minute, may contribute to many good people's avoidance of the political arena, or perhaps it is the nature of the arena itself that discourages really good people. Do you have any ideas for attracting the best political candidates?
You know, when good people say they avoid politics because it's a messy arena or because they don't want to give up their privacy (assuming, of course, they have nothing to hide!), I think it's just making poor excuses.
I think the real reason many potential leaders avoid politics is that it is a very hard arena to excel in, especially for candidates who come from industry or the military. Like any new arena, one has to spend the time to learn how to contribute and excel. As a result, I think successful people are reluctant to move into a new arena for fear of failure, as well as not being excited to make a major discipline and lifestyle change late in a successful career.
The Obama precedent of a leader coming more or less from outside the established political system should encourage young potential leaders worldwide to take the jump into politics. Another potential source of new political leaders is the fact that today there are many more young CEOs who achieve success relatively early in life. It could be that at least some will want to expand their learning and their potential for contribution by entering the political sphere.
You maintain that the most important job of a leader is to "insist on survival". Our current leaders seem to be insisting on survival of the economy and business as usual, rather on the survival of sustainable life on this planet. What are your thoughts on this issue?
The biggest problem is that most current leaders are concerned with their own personal survival in power. The great leaders insist on survival of the organization, the nation, and the planet. There is a lot of talk about sustainability but very little real action.
The other paradoxical phenomenon is that leaders rely on polls to chart their course of action so they can be re-elected. But if leaders are interested in driving change like sustainability, instead of merely reacting to public opinion, they need to shape it. People seldom elect to go for change, and leadership of change has to be against the current.
How can we tell when selecting CEOs or senior leaders for organizations if they have good instincts?
We need to broaden the selection criteria for business leaders. For instance, we should be analyzing whether a potential leader has the capacity to learn – especially from his or her own failures and mistakes. How had a potential leader navigated through past crises? Does he or she have the ability to develop and nurture intuitive leadership in the ranks? It's the rare company that asks such questions!
You talk about the importance of values in a corporation, that an organization's values are its anchor in times of turbulence. How would you extrapolate on this making it relevant not just to corporations but to governments and entire countries?
A vision that is anchored in values is the cornerstone of any leadership, be it in a corporation, a government, or an entire country.
If we choose integrity as a very relevant example, it turns out that many of today's leaders are enveloped in a thick cloud of corruption or manipulation of issues – like the nuclear threat from Iraq. A leader without integrity cannot expect to have the trust and following of his or her people, regardless of the type of organization.
In addition to the trust issue, once the truth starts to leak out – as it inevitably does – the leaders are 'forced' to do further manipulation of policies to support their personal survival, which may take an organization or country years to recover from. Moreover, leaders who loose trust will have a hard time marshalling people's support in a time of crisis.
A country that steps closer to moral bankruptcy does not need a security establishment since the young generation will leave, with nobody left to defend.
You were particularly vigilant in implanting good values at Intel Israel, because Israel's "traditional business culture involved a lot of cutting of ethical corners". You were successful in setting and keeping excellent ethical standards at Intel Israel. Have you seen or heard anything to indicate other Israeli companies or institutions are following your example?
I don't have information on the impact of my example on other Israeli companies or institutions. However, I am very skeptical that there was a significant impact.
Witnessing some of the recent corruption and criminal charges leveled at the highest levels of government and parliament I am pretty sure the lesson has not been learned. With this kind of example from the top I do not have any reason to believe that the private sector is free from shortcuts when it comes to ethical standards.
You say one of your retirement projects is to create "a center for alternative thinking" in southern Israel. How is that coming along?
The motto for the Center for Different Thinking is this quote from Bertrand Russell: "The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd. Indeed, in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible"
The Center is still in the incubation stage. The Catch 22 is that its foundation requires different thinking. In other words, the dilemma is 'what is the process of making different thinking a way of life for the young generation, and can you arrive at it through different thinking'?
Frankly, I have not figured it out yet.
How else would you like to use your knowledge and skills to help Israel and the world?
I believe promoting different thinking on a wide spectrum of issues from social through education to environmental with the hope of finding ways to impact the income gap will keep me thinking differently for awhile.
Is it lonely providing leadership the hard way?
Yes it is!
Almost by definition, since if you are surrounded by people who think like you, it is not likely that you will make breakthrough changes.
Dov Frohman believes that leadership can't be taught but it can be learned. He concludes his book by naming four resources an aspiring leader can use in order to learn how to lead:
Dov Frohman Bio:
- Stay true to your passion: find out your true passion and define a vision or mission to which you are willing to dedicate yourself, and be prepared to renew your passion over time.
- Study invisible mentors: choose someone whose behavior you admire and study them from afar.
- Become a reflective practitioner: learn how to learn from your own experience at the moment you are experiencing it. You can learn to do this by developing an active inner life through daydreaming and practicing intuitive problem solving and by developing the habit of reflecting honestly on your everyday activities.
- Learn from your people: this you can do by developing close relationships with your people by being present, by not being afraid to admit to and expose your own mistakes, by welcoming dissent, and by modeling the kind of behavior you would like to see in others.
Dov Frohman helped found Intel Israel in 1974, became general manager in 1981, and headed the organization until his retirement in 2001. He studied electrical engineering at the Israel Institute of Technology, and received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and computer science from the University of California at Berkeley. He invented the EPROM, the first reprogrammable read-only semiconductor memory – an innovation, according to Intel founder Gordon Moore, "as important in the development of the microcomputer industry as the microprocessor". In recognition Doc Frohman received the IEEE Jack Morton Award in 1982 and the IEEE Edison Medal in 2008. (Vern's note: IEEE was originally the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.)
Dov Frohman co-authored with Robert Howard Leadership The Hard Way: Why Leadership Can't be Taught and How You Can Learn It Anyway
Leadership can be learned is true and a high minded statement. The 4 resources you suggest at the end of your book and article each hold a lifetime of mindset change. For example, "Stay true to your passion." By the time one has gone though innumerable passions in a day or a lifetime, he needs to learn and practice the meaning of dedication and discipline. Then his passion changes again and ...
Study invisible mentors... Who has the stability of mind to do this long enough? We are often frustrated at lack of success in the first 30 days. Then we turn odd and off-kilter.
Are we lost for good, or can we re-invest in the longer shorter way?

Eseye, a global provider of Internet of Things (IoT) services, is partnering with African mobile network operator (MNO) MTN. MTN has joined forces with Eseye and the AnyNet Federation, a new association of MNOs established to meet the complex management and enhanced resilience requirements of the rapidly expanding global M2M IoT customer base.
The AnyNet Federation will initially focus on delivering significant global growth of cellular services onto Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. It aims to make the complex global landscape for IoT easier for AWS customers, by delivering a single cellular machine-to-machine (M2M) solution and management view, that can be deployed seamlessly across major world markets.
Nick Earle, Eseye’s chairman & CEO says: ‘This is a ground-breaking global collaboration. The AnyNet Secure is already the most feature-rich and integrated connectivity solution for AWS, and the AnyNet Federation as a key way of delivering simplified connectivity on a global scale, whilst allowing customers to buy and manage their connectivity from within AWS.”
MTN Group Enterprise executive, Oliver Fortuin adds: “MTN is delighted to bring their networks across 12 markets to the support the objectives of the AnyNet Federation. We believe that through collaboration we can speed up the deployment of our customers’ global IoT and enhance their global business opportunities.”
You can view the launch at the recent Mobile World Congress at: www.anynetfederation.com/news.
A global data clearing house
Using Eseye’s next generation, fully eUICC compliant AnyNet Secure for AWS SIM card, AnyNet Federation member customers will experience “out of the box” connectivity that integrates onto AWS IoT Core and is globally scalable. Cellular traffic destined for AWS is passed between different.
AnyNet Federation partners, based on the geographic location of IoT devices that are automatically provisioned and certified over-the-air.
Regardless of which AnyNet Federation partner is delivering the data, the customer is billed through their account by AWS, and the MNO is paid for the services it delivers.
IoT market trends
The launch of the AnyNet Federation (www.anynetfederation.com) and its initial AWS market focus comes as Gartner forecast the Worldwide Public Cloud Services Market will grow by 17.3% in 2019 to total US$206.2 billion, up from $175.8 billion in 2018 (source: https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2018-09-12-gartner-forecasts-worldwide-public-cloud-revenue-to-grow-17-percent-in-2019).
Statista also states that 80% of enterprises are either running apps on or experimenting with AWS as their preferred cloud platform (source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/511467/worldwide-survey-public-coud-services-running-application/).
Further announcements on AnyNet Federation membership are expected to follow shortly, according to Eseye.

Whenever I’m a little sad, I step into the kitchen and make some cookies. Cookies are such a great treat and so easy to make – your mood just has to get better!
These chocolate oatmeal cookies are full of dark chocolate and crunchy oatmeal and are chewy, moist and so delicious!
Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 150 grams (3/4 cup) butter or 120 grams coconut oil
- 200 grams (a little less than 1 cup) dark brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 100 grams (3/4 cup) spelt flour
- 80 grams (1/2 cup + 1 tbsp.) all-purpose flour
- 40 grams (4 tbsp.) cocoa powder
- 150 grams (1 1/2 cups) whole oats
Chop the chocolate and place in a bowl.
Add butter and melt together in the microwave or over double boiler until melted.
Add sugar and whisk until incorporated.
Add the eggs one at a time, stirring between the additions.
Add salt, cinnamon, baking soda, spelt flour, white flour, cocoa powder and oatmeal and mix just until slightly sticky dough forms.
Cool the dough for about 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 180c degrees.
Form small balls of dough and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Flatten the top of the cookies with your hands and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the cookies set on the edges but slightly soft in the center.
Cool completely and serve.
- Keep the cookies in a sealed box for up to a week.

One reality check coming right up
You’ve thought long and hard about starting a family, and decided that now is the time to bring another little person into the world. So it’s time to start planning, and imagining what life will be like with your miniature you by your side. And it will surely be all cuddles, cute baby-grows and chic pram-pushing, right?
Sorry folks, one reality check coming right up…
What you think: I can’t wait to pick out a cute outfit every day for my precious little bear.
Real life: FFS he’s been sick on his last clean baby-grow and all I’ve got left are these sodding stupid button-up jeans designed and bought by someone who’s obviously never dressed (or met) a baby. And if the health visitor turns up and he’s in a nappy and a muslin cloth again she’ll probably take him away.
What you think: I can’t wait to cuddle you. And I can’t wait until you’re a few months old, and can cuddle me back.
Real life: Oh. It’s like trying to wrestle an octopus.
What you think: It will be lovely to catch up on Netflix series and finally read Girl On A Train on my maternity leave.
Real life: I may never read a book again. Or watch anything other than Baby TV.
What you think: I can’t wait to push my pram around looking like the coolest mum to ever grace this earth.
Real life: I haven’t brushed my hair for roughly three weeks, I’m not sure I actually own anything other than these maternity leggings any more, and everyone is staring at me because a noise similar to the sound I imagine a tyrannosaurus rex would have made is omitting from my pram.
What you think: I’ll be able to book the parents for baby-sitting duties and resume my social life as it was after a few months.
Real life: Haven’t slept in days. Weeks. Months. Years. Can’t be arsed to get dressed let alone put on makeup, leave house past 7pm and talk to other humans. On the upside, I have a good excuse to get out of absolutely anything. Bonus.
What you think: We will stroll leisurely around Waitrose shopping for organic baby food, fresh fruit and free coffees.
Real life: We’ll head to Waitrose for our free coffee every single day to escape from the messy jumble of toys and laundry that used to be my home. But, after picking up a bottle of wine and a chocolate dipped flapjack I will have a monumental melt-down in the queue. At which point at least two people will advise me that I’m hungry and / or tired.
What you think: I will fill their nursery with tasteful, neutral toned wooden toys that will all coordinate with the tasteful décor.
Real life: I didn’t actually know you could fit so much brightly coloured plastic crap in one space.
What you think: I know one thing for sure, I certainly won’t let my baby (delete as appropriate) sleep in bed with me / cry it out / feed to sleep / watch the ipad / have a dummy.
Real life: I will let my baby do absolutely anything he wants for just five minutes of sweet, blissful peace.
What you think: It can’t be that hard, can it?
Real life: Yes. Harder.
What you think: I will love you so much that it will physically hurt every time I look at you, think about you, leave you or come back to you.
Real life: I will love you so much that it will physically hurt every time I look at you, think about you, leave you or come back to you.

The More Things Change...
|The view from the school's playground...gorgeous rolling hill, cloud-puffed sky..|
"The more things change, the more they stay the same."
This phrase has been running through and jumping over hurdles in my brain the last few weeks (and maybe months) as I've perceived a shift in our culture -- and particularly my own life and choices -- to re-learn and resurrect so many of the "old ways and traditions" of doing things...from cooking, "home-making," crafting, minding our finances, etc. (I blogged about this topic too -- if you are interested.)
I honestly do think that much of it can be attributed to the economic downturn and people needing to make some serious lifestyle changes. However, I really do think that there is a hunger for our history and collective past -- a nostalgia of sorts for another time where people were content with less and seemed to live fuller.
Sidenote: In case you've ever wondered, that quote is attributed to Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr, a french writer of note.
Anyhow, back to my thought process of late...
On Monday, as my friend, Ninon, and I pulled up to the Eleanor Roosevelt Community Learning Center to enroll our children and start this crazy, "never say never" home school journey, I couldn't help but think of that phrase as we looked at the most prominent structures on the charter school's campus.
It's a beautiful building that used to be a one-room school house back in the day. Now serving as the school library, it has a solid, historic feel to it. Like it's seen some things in it's day and it's not sure we're up to the challenge. I like it.
After filling out paperwork to enroll the five children (two of mine, three of hers), we met with our Educational Coordinator to get some general information on the both the school and how their school/program works. It was a challenge to get all the pertinent information with my four children playing in the room; however, I was so very grateful that our coordinator, Jeri, was understanding and even encouraging in the children's play and interruptions.
After that, we walked over to that majestic library and started to pick out curriculum...lots and lots of curriculum, stacks and stacks of curriculum. And that was just for my two children.
Between the two families, we loaded up the cargo area of my van with piles and piles of books and resources.
Did I mention that we didn't have to pay a dime? Because it's a public charter, tax money is paid out to the school on a per child basis -- just like regular school.
By this time, our kids were a wreck. They had been fairly patient for the two hours that it took for all of this to be accomplished, so as promised, we headed out to the playground area to have lunch and let the children finally run and jump and go crazy.
And they did...they swung, they slid down slides, they ran, they did it all...and eventually we ended up here...a curious fun-looking playhouse.
As we walked up to it, I recognized the handiwork of this sign...
...a Sarah Geesey work of art, a dear friend, who has beautifully modeled homeschool for years and the one who first filled me in about Eleanor Roosevelt. She definitely has a style all her own that I think I would identify most anywhere (however, since she's the art teacher at the school, it makes perfect sense that her work would be represented out here).
One of the coordinators saw us looking and came over with a bucket of chalk. The kids shrieked with delight when they realized that the inside of the house was all chalkboard! They quickly went to work!
|Ethan (Ninon's son) is a sweet little ham. My two girls are in the background.|
|My daughter Hayden thought this was the "best day ever."|
|The kids (minus McKenna): Ethan, Hayden, Camden, Ryan, Declan & Hadley|
When we arrived at her lovely, homey, home that exudes charm, warmth and acceptance, Ryan and Ethan jumped out of the van, high-fived and cheered with glee, "we're home schoolers!"
After a lovely visit filled with affirmation, information given and questions answered, we piled back into the van to head north.
As we drove home from Sarah's back up to Fresno and our homes, we saw the most gorgeous double rainbow. I have never seen colors so vivid painted against a bruised-purple sky from the impending rain storm headed our way.
It was like a love note from God to cap off an exhausting, overwhelming and exciting day and the signal of a new fresh beginning.
I definitely don't have it all figured out yet -- not even close. I've only read one "how to" home school book and I haven't even been able to attack that plastic bin full of curriculum.
But I'm hopeful.
My children are happy...relived. Confident. Content.
All things I wish for them in a "modern age," but so very grateful to be able to provide via a "days gone by" method of instruction.
We'll be back on Thursday for our first of many weekly trips down to take advantage of art, music, language and other hands-on, value-added classes. The kids can't wait!
And, so, the adventure begins...

Winter break has officially come to an end. As we begrudgingly throw out the remaining christmas cookies and desperately try to rectify our skewed sleeping patterns, we ring in the new year by making resolutions to ourselves. Whether your goal for this year is to stop procrastinating (good joke), or to begin working out, it’s time to get excited. Below is a playlist of inspiring songs to accompany your inevitable success in completing these goals.
Nearly a decade old, this song blends rap and rock to create a lively tune, complete with intermittent cackling and electronic undertones.
Legend says that if you combine a pinch of anger, a cup of rebellion, and a vat of punk, Fall Out Boy will materialize before your eyes! True to it’s title, ‘I Don’t Care’ exemplifies FOB’s sound and provides insight without being preachy.
Everything is always changing, so don’t limit yourself this next year.
You’ll impress your parents by playing this 1978 song, because let’s be real, positivity is timeless. ELO knew what was up with this line: “Where once was pity, Mr. Blue Sky is living here today.”
The quirkiness of Modest Mouse is less apparent in ‘Float On,’ one of their more popular songs, but the band’s personality bleeds through the unique music video.
“You can’t can’t count on a second chance,” but you can count on the fresh slate of the second semester.
Two Door Cinema Club is semi-electric, semi-pop, and entirely wonderful. Get excited for the future, but stop making excuses: make ‘next year’ this year.
This cute, simple song offers a tremendous amount of insight in only two minutes. Think ‘children’s story in song form.’
If hearing the familiar ‘stamp-stamp-clap’ rhythm of this classic song doesn’t get you off your feet, you may have to do some intense personal reflection, because if ‘We Will Rock You’ doesn’t get you pumped, I’m not sure anything will.
Get in a mosh pit and channel your inner Jeremy McKinnon (ADTR’s lead singer.) Get up, get excited, and don’t give up.
If you ever fall off a treadmill, this is song is very applicable. And comical. It also applies to pretty much every other aspect of life.
If you’re feeling exceptionally excited to jump into this year, you could wake up early to watch the sunrise while listening to this song.
Gender inequality? We’re not gonna take it! Racism? We’re not gonna take it! Laziness? We’re not gonna take it! Pull a Gandhi and be the change you wish to see in the world (while you’re rocking out to the guitar solo.)
Stop letting the fear of failure hold you back. Take the leap. “We are not our failures/We are love”
There are two kinds of people in this world: people who know all the words to this song, and liars.
Technically, we have to hold on until June 6th, but close enough. Listen to Vic Fuentes (PTV’s lead singer), though: “Darling you’ll be okay.” If he believes in you, it has to be true.
We all have an inner Fergie.
18. Hold On-Go Radio
It’s so important to remember that we all deserve friendship, love, and happiness, and this song serves as a nice reminder that we are worth it.
Wait, this song isn’t by Glee?
“Fight it. Take the pain, ignite it.” All your hardships make you who you are; learn from them and grow from them. This year will be the best one yet if you believe in yourself and have a good attitude.

Are you a child of divorce? Are you close to someone who is?
You are invited to a two-hour seminar where author, Tanya Lyons, will shed light on the experience and struggle of adult children of divorce.
Divorce can be an off-limits or neglected topic in many of our families and communities, yet it’s an experience that profoundly changes all those it touches.
The same seminar will be offered twice:
Sunday, March 11 1-3pm Entrance E, Lounge
Monday, March 12 7-9pm Entrance C, Upper East Hall
Tanya studied the experience of adult children of divorce as part of her Master’s degree and wrote a novel, Come Home Laughing, to share the findings of her research. The book is a fictional narrative weaving statistics, personal stories, reflections, and Biblical content.
Tanya’s presentation will explore the current state of marriage and divorce in society and look at the experience of adults who have grown up as children of divorce. Believing that an understanding of the past is an important step to moving forward, she will draw from her book, her research, and her personal experience to explore the loss and pain experienced by children of divorce.
Those from intact families will hear of ways to talk with and support children of divorce, as community and connection are key elements in the process of healing and restoration.
For more information, contact Tanya.

Lagarde: “Departure from the Eurozone would be ‘devastating’ for Greece”
The International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde stressed that a departure from the Eurozone would be “devastating”…
The International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde stressed that a departure from the Eurozone would be “devastating” for Greece, in an interview for Irish state radio station RTE.
According to a report in Reuters, the IMF chief was asked whether a Grexit would be catastrophic for the Eurozone, with Mrs. Lagarde responding that this was neither in Greece’s interests, nor legally feasible. Mrs. Lagarde explained that “first of all it is not allowed under the rules of the euro area, and secondly I think it would be devastating for Greece”.
The IMF chief recently addressed the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington and reported that there were no indications of a Greek departure from the Eurozone, irrespective of which party wins the general elections on the 25th of January.
The IMF has stressed that it will resume negotiations with Greece as soon as a new government is formed and clarified that the reforms must continue as planned, in order for the Greek economy to develop in a sustainable and consistent manner.

The New York Stock Exchange is the largest stock exchange in the world, and billions of dollars worth of stocks are traded there every day. The Financial District that surrounds it is central to the importance of New York City. But because of tightened security measures after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, which occurred mere blocks away from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the building is no longer open to the public for tours.
New York City has been home to securities markets since 1790 when Alexander Hamilton issued bonds to deal with debt from the American Revolution. The New York Stock Exchange, which was originally called The New York Stock and Exchange Board, was first organized on March 8, 1817. In 1865, the exchange opened in its current location in Manhattan's Financial District. In 2012, the New York Stock Exchange was acquired by InterContinental Exchange.
You can view the New York Stock Exchange building from the outside at Broad and Wall streets. Its famous facade of six marble Corinthian columns below a pediment sculpture called "Integrity Protecting the Works of Man" is often draped with a huge American flag. You can get there by subway trains 2, 3, 4, or 5 to Wall Street or the R or W to Rector Street.
If you want to learn more about the financial institutions in New York, you can visit the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which offers free tours to visit the vaults and see the gold with advance booking. It is also in the Financial District and offera insight into the inner workings of Wall Street.
The Trading Floor
Although you can no longer visit the trading floor, do not get too disappointed. It is no longer the chaotic scene that's dramatized on TV shows and movies, with traders waving slips of paper, yelling stock prices, and negotiating million-dollar deals in a matter of seconds. Back in the 1980s, there were up to 5,500 people working on the trading floor. But with the advance of technology and paperless transactions, the number of traders on the floor has dwindled to about 700 people, and it is now a much calmer, quieter environment if still loaded with daily tension.
The Ringing of the Bell
The ringing of the opening and closing bell of the market at 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. guarantees that no trades will take place before the opening or after the close of the market. Starting in the 1870s, before microphones and loudspeakers were invented, a large Chinese gong was used. But in 1903, when the NYSE moved to its current building, the gong was replaced by a brass bell, which is now electrically operated at the start and end of each trading day.
The Financial District is the scene of a number of different sights in addition to the NYSE. They include the Charging Bull, also called the Bull of Wall Street, which is located in Bowling Green, near the intersection of Broadway and Morris streets; Federal Hall; City Hall Park; and the Woolworth Building. It is easy and free to see the exterior of the Woolworth Building, but if you want to take a tour, you will need advance reservations. Battery Park is also within walking distance. From there, you can take a ferry to visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
This area is rich in history and architecture, and you can learn about it on these walking tours: History of Wall Street and 9/11, Lower Manhattan: Secrets of Downtown, and the Brooklyn Bridge. And if you're into superheroes, the Super Tour of NYC Comics Heroes and More might be just the ticket.
If you need a bite to eat nearby, Financier Patisserie is a great spot for light eats, sweets, and coffee and has several Financial District locations. If you want something more substantial, Delmonico's, one of NYC's oldest restaurants, is also nearby. Fraunces Tavern, which first opened as a tavern in 1762 and was later headquarters to George Washingon and home to the Department of Foreign Affairs during the Revolutionary War, is another historic restaurant where you can sit down for a meal, as well as tour its museum.

No other music festival quite encapsulates the idealism of the 60s like Woodstock. This remarkable event, held at Max Yasgur’s 600-acre dairy farm, near White Lake in Bethel, upstate New York, is widely regarded as the defining moment of the late 60s counterculture. As such, the best Woodstock performances don’t just mark high points among the “three days of peace and music” the festival sought to provide, they stand as some of the most iconic musical moments written into history.
Woodstock Festival was up against it from the outset. Eventually sprawling over much of four days (August 15-18 1969), it was blighted by relentless rain, bad drugs, and on-site facilities to give modern festivalgoers the fear. Yet, despite its flaws, Woodstock pulled through. It’s now rightly regarded as a pivotal event in rock’n’roll history whose most lasting legacy is its groundbreaking music.
Here are 15 of the best Woodstock performances. Think we’ve overlooked any? Let us know in the comments section.
Best Woodstock Performances: 15 Acts That Defined The Festival
15: Joan Baez
In theory, Joan Baez was the headlining act on Woodstock’s first night. However, due to the interminable delays and seat-of-the-pants organization that characterized the entire event, the folk star didn’t make it on stage until the early hours of Saturday morning. Consequently, she greeted the crowd with a gentle “good morning” and opened her set with “Oh Happy Day.” Dedicating songs to her imprisoned, draft-resisting husband, David Harris, she performed rousing versions of “Joe Hill” and Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released,” and finished on a high, leading the crowd in a fitting singalong of the civil-rights anthem, ‘We Shall Overcome’. (After 50 years, her full performance has been released digitally for the first time.)
14: Crosby, Stills, Nash And Young
You could argue this should just read “Crosby, Stills And Nash”, as Neil Young only performed two songs and flatly refused to be filmed for Michael Wadleigh’s Woodstock documentary. However, while nerves prevailed, and the superstar outfit were only playing their second gig (“We’re scared s__tless”, Stills announces at one point), they still delivered an inspired set, splitting their show into acoustic and electric sections which included classics such as “Guinnevere’, “Marrakesh Express” and “Mr. Soul.”
13: Canned Heat
While the rain finally stopped for a while on the Saturday afternoon, the creativity also threatened to dry up onstage, with forgettable afternoon sets from blues-rocker Keef Hartley and whimsical folk outfit The Incredible String Band. Up next, however, were Canned Heat, whose heavyweight blues-rock was just the ticket to revive flagging spirits. Playing for around an hour, the Californian stalwarts got the festival back on track, with “On The Road Again,” “Going Up The Country” and the rollicking, 26-minute “Woodstock Boogie” all receiving a suitably enthusiastic response.
12: Ten Years After
Alvin Lee’s talented UK blues-rockers Ten Years After were already making waves in the US, having delivered feisty sets at the Newport Jazz Festival and the Seattle Pop Festival during the summer of 1969. With high points including a fantastic performance of Sonny Boy Williamson’s “Help Me” and a full-tilt rendition of “I’m Going Home,” their fierce Woodstock set catapulted them into the mainstream courtesy of “I’m Going Home,” which featured in Michael Wadleigh’s much-acclaimed 1970 documentary.
11: Jefferson Airplane
Jefferson Airplane was meant to close the Saturday night at Woodstock, but, like Joan Baez, they ended up performing the following morning, finally taking to the stage at around 8:00 am on the Sunday. By way of an introduction, singer Grace Slick said, “All right, friends, you have seen the heavy groups, now you’ll see morning maniac music.” But despite the lateness/earliness of the hour, the San Franciscans duly delivered one Woodstock’s best sets, including landmark hits “Somebody To Love,” “Volunteers” and their psych-rock classic “White Rabbit.”
10: Richie Havens
Chaotic from the outset, Woodstock was meant to kick off at 3:00 pm on Friday, August 15. However, festival openers Sweetwater was still stuck in traffic long past their scheduled slot, so, at just after 5:00 pm, festival MC Chip Monck thrust singer-songwriter Richie Havens onstage to open the proceedings with what became a legendary performance lasting well over two hours. Clad in a magnificent orange robe, the Brooklyn-born folkie struck up “From The Prison” and went on to captivate the crowd, spontaneously improvising one of his greatest songs, “Freedom’, on the spot. The subsequent Woodstock movie helped Havens reach a worldwide audience and, when he died in 2013, his ashes were scattered from the air over the festival site.
9: Country Joe And The Fish
Country Joe McDonald played twice at Woodstock: firstly, on the Saturday as an impromptu solo act, then on Sunday with his band Country Joe And The Fish. However, it was the solo performance that still resonates to this day. Before his final song, he engaged the audience in what he and his band called the “Fish Cheer”: a chant that would normally spell out “F-I-S-H.” This time around, however, McDonald switched it to, “Gimme an ‘F’, gimme a ‘U’, gimme a ‘C’, gimme a ‘K’… what’s that spell?” “F__k!” the audience roared in unison. Following up, McDonald led the crowd in a 400,000-person singalong for his most famous song, the anti-war anthem “I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-To-Die Rag,” going down in history before he even left the stage.
8: The Band
Local Catskills residents The Band were reputedly the first group offered a slot at Woodstock, but thanks to Albert Grossman, manager of their primary employer, Bob Dylan, few outside of the festivalgoers heard the evidence until five songs from their Sunday-night set were finally included on the 2009 box set Woodstock: Forty Years On. That’s a great shame, for the pioneering Americana legends delivered one of Woodstock’s most sublime performances, airing tracks from their epochal debut album, Music From Big Pink, among them classics such as “Tears Of Rage,” “This Wheel’s On Fire” and their signature hit, “The Weight.”
7: Joe Cocker
Joe Cocker’s star was already in the ascendency after his magnificent, soul-flavoured version of The Beatles’ “With A Little Help From My Friends” topped the UK charts in November 1968 and his album of the same name cracked the Top 40 of the Billboard 200. His widely-celebrated Woodstock appearance, however, made him a household name. Accompanied by his group, The Grease Band, the Sheffield soul belter had to be helicoptered into the site due to the huge crowds, but his heartfelt set (including “Let’s Go Get Stoned,” Dylan’s “Just Like A Woman” and the inevitable Beatles song) lifted the throng, despite the rainstorm that followed their performance.
6: Sly And The Family Stone
Though it ran horrendously behind schedule, Woodstock’s Saturday line-up was the stuff of legend, involving Creedence Clearwater Revival, Janis Joplin, and The Who. Sandwiched between Joplin and Pete Townshend’s troops, Sly And The Family Stone eventually took to the stage at 3.30 am on Sunday morning. Despite the pouring rain, their celebratory funk was a revelation and their hit-stuffed set (“Everyday People,” “Dance To The Music,” “I Want To Take You Higher”) gave the beleaguered crowd the shot of energy they so desperately needed.
5: Creedence Clearwater Revival
Creedence Clearwater Revival’s fierce, professionally-executed performance at Woodstock was thrown into even sharper relief as they followed on from Grateful Dead, whose rambling, 90-minute set was blighted by electric shocks and all manner of equipment and PA-related problems. CCR leader John Fogerty was not amused by the festival’s haphazard organization (he insisted they be omitted from Michael Wadleigh’s documentary), yet his band still rampaged through a blistering set including signature hits “Proud Mary,” “Born On The Bayou” and “Bad Moon Rising,” as their recently released Live At Woodstock album reveals.
If timing is everything in rock’n’roll, then Carlos Santana’s appearance at Woodstock couldn’t have been more perfect. When he took to the stage at Yasgur’s Farm on the Saturday afternoon, the precocious young guitarist was still a relative unknown, but his spellbinding slot turned him into an overnight success, with his debut album, Santana, subsequently peaking at No.4 in the US. His band’s nimble Latin-rock fusion caused a sensation at Woodstock, with Santana’s phenomenal guitar playing and Michael Shrieve’s drum solo during the colossal ‘Soul Sacrifice’ providing one of the festival’s legend-enshrining moments.
3: Janis Joplin
One of the unfettered highlights of her tragically short career, Janis Joplin’s Woodstock slot reminded the world of her truly exceptional talent. Though taking to the stage 10 hours behind schedule (at around 2:00 am on Sunday morning), Joplin performed a choice set, complete with brass section, which came off more like a Stax soul revue. Highlights included “Summertime’, “Piece Of My Heart,” “Kozmic Blues” and the inevitable “Ball And Chain,” but really the whole thing was an absolute tour de force that played like a trailer for her then-imminent I Got Dem Ol’ Kozmic Blues Again, Mama! album.
2: The Who
Woodstock may have been billed as “three days of peace and music”, but The Who were anything but mellow when they took to the stage at a delirium-inducing 5:00 am on Sunday morning. Tanked up and intense, the UK rock icons screamed through a scorching, hour-long set which included hits and deep cuts (“I Can’t Explain,” “My Generation,” “Heaven And Hell”), and a truncated version of their rock opera Tommy. The music comes first, but their performance is also famous for Pete Townshend yelling at Abbie Hoffman, “F__ off! F__k off my f__king stage!” after the pro-LSD political activist foolishly attempted to gatecrash the band’s set.
1: Jimi Hendrix
Though meant to run across three days, Woodstock’s disorganization meant it sprawled into the morning of Monday, August 18, 1969, with Blood, Sweat And Tears, Crosby, Stills Nash And Young, The Butterfield Blues Band, and more plowing on well after midnight. Huge chunks of the crowd had already drifted away, but after Sha Na Na’s novelty doo-wop set, headliner Jimi Hendrix finally shuffled onstage to play for the 30,000 souls that remained after 8:00 am. In truth, his loose, two-hour set with his short-lived Gypsy Sun And Rainbows ensemble fell some way short of his greatest live performance, yet it arguably remains his most iconic. That’s primarily because of his extraordinary rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner”: a widely-acclaimed interpretation which, for many, reflected the turmoil and social change witnessed by this most idealistic of decades.

The Association of Oil Pipe Lines (AOPL) recently expressed its gratitude on behalf of pipeline operators and the American people who will benefit from new pipeline infrastructure.
Keystone XL (KXL) retained overwhelming public approval throughout its review process and election day exit polls last November showed broad public support for new energy infrastructure. President Trump’s action will allow the American public to receive those benefits.
“We thank President Trump forgiving the American people the benefits of jobs and plentiful, affordable energy that pipelines will bring,” said Andrew Black, President and CEO of AOPL.
The new Executive Orders demonstrate President Trump’s support for KXL, the Dakota Access pipeline and stream lining the review and approval of pipeline projects generally.
Construction of the KXL pipeline would provide over 42 000 US jobs and US$2.1 billion in US worker payroll, according to the US State Department. While Keystone XL would support 6800 construction jobs with US$420 million in payroll, it would also lead to 4600 manufacturing jobs with US$309 million in payroll, 4400 jobs in trade with US$172 million in payroll, 2200 jobs in finance and insurance with US$131 million in payroll, 5100 jobs in other professional services with US$343 million in payroll, 2700 jobs in health services with US$141 million in payroll, and 5700 jobs in food and accommodations with US$278 million in payroll.
The State Department’s environmental review also found building KXL would do more to protect the environment and avoid greenhouse gas emissions than any alternative, including rejecting the pipeline. According to US government statistics, 99.999% of petroleum products shipped by pipeline reach their destination safely. Since 1999, the number of incidents along pipeline rights of way is down 50%. Transporting crude oil by pipeline instead of other modes of transportation also results in fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
KXL would be one of the safest pipelines ever built. It will use corrosion-resistant pipe and construction welds reviewed by third-parties and audited by the federal government. Powerful modern technology will be built into the pipe to monitor flow with automatic shut off capability. The operator will monitor the pipeline system 24 hrs/d, 365 days a year through a centralised high tech centre. Satellite technology will send data every 5 sec. from thousands of data points to the pipeline monitoring center and if a drop in pressure is ever detected, KXL’s operator can isolate any section of the pipeline by remotely closing any of the hundreds of valves on the system within minutes. They will also regularly conduct aerial and land reviews supplement digital monitoring.
The Dakota Access pipeline (DAPL) has created roughly 12 000 jobs during construction and is a critical link from the Bakken formation, which supports more than 80 000 North Dakota jobs. It has brought hundreds of millions of dollars in investment in heavy equipment and thousands of construction jobs to the state. DAPL has already spent over US$3.54 billion in construction and development of the pipeline and continues to invest hundreds of millions a month into the US economy as it moves to finish the project. The Dakota Access pipeline project will result in an estimated US$156 million in sales and income taxes during construction, and US$55 million in property taxes annually.

A person is permitted for substitution of job experience in most of the jobs. In addition to the educational requirements, a person should submit the proper documents and read the job announcement properly.
About Goa Police
With Liberation and the departure of the Portuguese, began a long and exhaustive overhaul of the Goa Police. Work to reorganize the police department on the lines of what existed in the rest of the country, began in right earnest. N R Nagu took over as the first Inspector General of Police (IGP) of free Goa and a host of other appointments were made just a day after liberation. Services of those officials serving the PEI were protected and they were suitably accommodated in Goa Police. Those who wished to be relieved were allowed to do so with effect from February 1, 1962. However, the ranks and organizational structure of the PEI was retained for a longer period before being transformed in keeping with what existed in the country. Officers taken on deputation had meanwhile begun to introduce policing systems based on Indian laws and procedures.
But it was not until 1966 that major changes began to be made and felt when the police force was reorganized following recommendations made by B Shetty, Additional DGP in CBI. Shetty forwarded these recommendations based on a study conducted by him in February-March 1965 on the prevailing set-up. He discovered that the system had several gaping holes and that the police personnel were still looked at with suspicion by the common man, unable to forget their Portuguese links. His recommendations laid the foundation for the emergence of the Goa Police force as we know today.
The Goa Police force was headed by an Inspector General of Police until 2nd Feb 1999.
Over the years Goa Police has undergone tremendous changes not just in their functioning but also in image build-up. It has constantly worked to be more and more people-friendly, one that the law-abiding citizen need not fear.

If the score is high, the chances for getting the job are also very high. All the necessary documentation should be submitted when a person is applying for the job.

Big tech CEOs took a beating from both sides on Wednesday, with Democrats on the House Judiciary antitrust subcommittee hammering the heads of Facebook, Amazon, Google and Apple over anti-competitive conduct, and Republicans on the committee focusing on bias against conservatives.
Representative David Cicilline, the chairman of the antitrust subcommittee, grilled Sundar Pichai, Google’s chief executive, about how Google steers traffic to its own search pages and products. Representative Jerrold Nadler of New York asked Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s top executive, about emails he wrote describing Instagram as a potentially disruptive competitor before the company acquired the firm. And Representative Hank Johnson of Georgia pushed Tim Cook of Apple on whether his company exerts unfair dominance over app developers in its app store. -NYT
Wrapping up the five-plus hour session, Chairman Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) said during his closing statements that all four companies are monopolies, saying "These companies, as they exist today, all have monopoly power," adding "Some need to be broken up" and "heavily regulated."
"Their control of the marketplace allows them to do whatever it takes to crush independent businesses and expand their own power," Cicilline added.
"They’re engaged in behavior that’s anticompetitive, which favors their own products and services, which monetizes and weaponizes data, which compromises the privacy of their users and which creates a competitive disadvantage for companies attempting to enter the marketplace."
Representative David Cicilline said the House antitrust subcommittee had observed ‘common patterns and competition problems’ at four of America's largest tech firms during a congressional hearing in which the CEOs of those companies testified https://t.co/0UwEkKbcS2 pic.twitter.com/QmJhf3lgHZ— Reuters (@Reuters) July 29, 2020
Republicans on the committee - particularly Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), grilled the CEOs over political bias.
Jordan accused the companies of being "out to get conservatives."
"I'll just cut to the chase," said Jordan during opening remarks. "Big Tech is out to get conservatives. That’s not a suspicion, that’s not a hunch — that’s a fact."
"We’re 97 days before an election, and the power … these companies have to impact what happens during an election, what American citizens get to see before their voting, is pretty darn important," said Jordan.
Later in the hearing, Jordan dug into Pichai, repeatedly demanding assurances that Google would not tip the scales for the Democrats in November.
“Can you assure Americans today you won’t tailor your features to help Joe Biden in the upcoming election?” asked Jordan, who mentioned reports of a “silent donation” the company made to the Clinton campaign in the 2016 election cycle.
Jordan had to repeat the question several times during his allotted five minutes before Pichai finally uttered, “You have my commitment.”
Jordan’s grievances notwithstanding, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle were united in holding the tech titans’ feet to the fire, amid bipartisan concerns that they’ve developed a stranglehold on the internet and American life. -NY Post
The CEOs defended their businesses, with Bezos arguing that " Every day, Amazon competes against large, established players like Target, Costco, Kroger and, of course, Walmart — a company more than twice Amazon’s size."
Mark Zuckerberg painted Facebook as an "American success story" and an underdog compared to his competitors.
"[The] most popular messaging service in the US is [Apple’s] iMessage,” he said. “The most popular app for video is [Google’s] YouTube. The fastest-growing ads platform is Amazon, the largest ads platform is Google. And for every dollar spent on advertising in the US, less than 10 cents is spent with us," he said.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal rejected Zuck's framing, firing back "When the dominant platform threatens its potential rivals, that should not be a normal business practice."
"Facebook is a case study, in my opinion, in monopoly power, because your company harvests and monetizes our data, and then your company uses that data to spy on competitors and to copy, acquire and kill rivals. Facebook’s very model makes it impossible for new companies to flourish separately, and that harms our democracy, it harms mom-and-pop businesses and it harms consumers."
Tim Cook defended Apple's App Store amid accusations that the company has unfairly blocked apps which rival its in-house products, along with the 30% cut the company takes from in-store purchases.
"I’m here today because scrutiny is reasonable and appropriate," he said, adding "If Apple is a gatekeeper, what we’ve done is open the gate wider."
But, as the Post explains, "It was the frequently evasive Pichai, however — defending Google’s far-reaching online ad business — who seemed to catch most of the flak."
Cicilline charged that Google has “evolved from a turnstile to the rest of the Web, to a walled garden that increasingly keeps users within its sites.
“It used its surveillance over Web traffic to identify competitive threats and crush them,” continued Cicilline. “It has dampened innovation and business growth … virtually ensuring that any business that wants to be found on the Web paid Google a tax.” -NY Post
"Our founders would not bow before a king," said Cicilline. "Nor should we bow before the emperors of the online economy."
In an interesting exchange, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) read an email which Amazon's Jeff Bezos sent to his staff saying "We're buying market position, not technology."
Jeff Bezos email on buying Ring: "We're buying market position not technology." Wow. #BigTechBarons— Matt Stoller (@matthewstoller) July 29, 2020
Wow, Bezos says the most common reason to buy a company is "Market position." That's the whole ball game.
Bezos will not say if Alexa is trained to favor Amazon products over other products, says "it's possible."— Kari Paul (@kari_paul) July 29, 2020
* * *
While the tech titans mostly stuck to their prepared remarks at the beginning of today's testimony, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg veered off script - pointing out that Google is the largest online advertising platform in the world, while Amazon is growing the fastest.
"In many areas, we are behind our competitors," he said. "The most popular messaging service in the U.S. is iMessage. The fastest growing app is TikTok. The most popular app for video is YouTube. The fastest growing ads platform is Amazon. The largest ads platform is Google. And for every dollar spent on advertising in the U.S., less than ten cents is spent with us."
Translation: Facebook couldn't possibly commit antitrust violations with these advertising behemoths at the head of the pack.
"Zuckerberg isn’t hesitating to use some sharp elbows, pointing out that Amazon is the fastest-growing advertising platform and Google is the biggest," says @atbwebb https://t.co/oLvzbiaL6e pic.twitter.com/eozgX71Wx4— Bloomberg Opinion (@bopinion) July 29, 2020
* * *
Update (1155ET): The Big-Tech hearing has been delayed until 1230-1300ET as the Judiciary Committee attempted to complete another hearing on immigration.
* * *
The CEOs of Amazon, Google, Apple and Facebook will testify before House lawmakers over allegations of anti-competitive practices. For members of the House Judiciary antitrust subcommittee, it will be their sixth hearing in their investigation into Silicon Valley antitrust accusations.
Watch Live (the 'virtual' hearing is due to start at 1200ET):
* * *
The four CEOs have now released their prepared remarks.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos:
Apple CEO Tim Cook:
Google CEO Sundar Pichai:
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg:
* * *
As Politico notes, "The session also arrives as scrutiny of the behemoths is surging across the globe, including an expected Justice Department antitrust case against Google and the recent launch of two European probes of potential anticompetitive behavior by Apple."
It will also mark the first time Jeff Bezos, the world's richest person, has offered testimony before Congress - albeit via videoconference, while House Judiciary lawmakers will attend both virtually and in-person in a hybrid format, according to the report.
That said, today's 'showdown' could go one of two ways; fireworks, or snoozefest. If House Democrats jump off script from antitrust issues and press the CEOs over online hate speech, or if GOP members drill them on anti-conservative bias, things could get interesting.
Even the format of the questioning - four elite CEOs, all appearing by videoconference because of the coronavirus pandemic - could make it harder for the members to land a glove on the companies’ varied issues, ranging from Google's and Facebook’s command of digital ad revenue to Apple's control of its App Store and questions about whether Amazon misled Congress. -Politico
"The discussion will go well beyond antitrust," said Carl Szabo, VP and General Counsel of NetChoice, a tech trade group which counts Google, Amazon and Facebook as members. "It will go into issues of election interference, or conservative bias, or any of the other issues de jour on which we like to saddle tech."
As we detailed previously, here's what to expect assuming things go according to plan:
Lawmakers will likely question Bezos about whether an Amazon lawyer misled the Judiciary Committee last summer by claiming the company doesn't use data collected from third-party vendors to launch competing products of its own.
In fact, according to the Wall Street Journal, Amazon employees did just that - which prompted Judiciary leaders to question whether a criminal referral was appropriate for perjury charges. The company disputed WSJ's report, and said it did not 'intentionally mislead' the Committee - while also promising to conduct an internal investigation.
Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg will likely face questions over acquisitions of former rivals WhatsApp and Instagram, while Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and others have called for regulators to break up the social media giant.
Other items of inquiry will include how Facebook handles its trove of data collected from more than 2 billion users, including whether it is for anticompetitive purposes.
"There's a real fear that no other competitor could ever successfully launch a social media platform because it could never match Facebook's troves of data, which, given their record, it's a serious threat to users," Rep. Joe Neguse (D-CO) told Politico.
Google's Sundar Pichai will have to answer for whether the company amplifies its own search services to the detriment of competitors and consumers seeking maps, videos or other services.
Separately, questions will be asked over whether their domination of online advertising has harmed smaller businesses as well as news outlets.
The committee has also accused the company of being less than forthright in its past testimony, including on questions such as what percentage of searches on the company's engine lead to website referrals not on Google.
Google has separately been a frequent target of Republican allegations of anti-conservative bias on its video sharing platform YouTube, a topic that is expected to come up again at Monday's hearing. Google and other major tech platforms deny those charges. Democrats, meanwhile, have taken issue with the company's handling of hate speech and misinformation on YouTube. -Politico
Lastly, Apple CEO Tim Cook will face questions over how the company has handled its app store.
"Because of the market power that Apple has, it is charging exorbitant rents — highway robbery, basically — bullying people to pay 30 percent or denying access to their market," Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) told The Verge in June. "It’s crushing small developers who simply can’t survive with those kinds of payments. If there were real competition in this marketplace, this wouldn’t happen."

A couple of relationships that appeared to be hitting a wobble are back on track and looking very positive. In one case we have rescheduled the meeting time so the mentee can attend a specific class she does not want to miss. Flexibility is the key!!
A number of mentors are assisting their mentees on the journey of finding some work experience which they are allowed to do this year. This means they can miss school for a number of days during the year to experience the opportunity of spending some time at a place of work which intetrests them. In some cases it might result in students wanting to head out of school at the end of this year to gain an apprenticeship. In other cases students are already saying they feel they should complete their schooling before heading into the workforce. Every case is unique.
I am also promoting the use of the email facility, as this continues to result in some wonderful correspondence.
This week sees the launch of the mentor training for one of our new programs being launched in 2008 ……. more on that later.

A Florida family was terrorized by a notification coming from their Nest security camera alerting them of a missile launch by North Korea. Interestingly enough, until they heard the alert the family didn’t even know the camera had speakers.
Although the traumatized mom blames Nest for not notifying their users of a data breach, it wasn’t Nest who was breached. The data breached occurred elsewhere. As the family reuses passwords, once one of their accounts was exposed it left all of their accounts vulnerable.
Although it certainly would have been a nice bit of customer service for Nest to notify their account holders that they should change their passwords if they reuse them, it is not their legal responsibility as they were not hacked. The responsibility for notification lies with the breached account provider. The family didn’t say whether that notification was received.
Regardless of whether Nest should have notified their users or not, this poor mother still had to watch her terrified nine year old son crawl under the carpet in a panicked attempt to protect himself from nuclear missiles. No mother should have to experience that.
How do you prevent your family from being traumatized by a prankster hacker?
- Be familiar with all the features of your camera before you buy it. Know if it has a microphone or speakers, connects to the internet, whether the default password can be changed, how the firmware is updated and where recorded video is stored.
- Change the default password as soon as you set up the camera. Use a unique, effective passphrase.
- Update the camera’s firmware as soon as it is installed and keep it up to date. If it has an automatic update feature, enable it.
- Disconnect the camera from the internet when you aren’t using it.
Taking these steps will greatly reduce the chances of your camera being hacked. These same steps can be taken to secure any IoT device.
Our world is rapidly changing with technology creeping into all aspects of our lives. It is important that we change with it to ensure our families safety. That means we need to be aware of the risks associated with the devices that we bring into our homes and how to mitigate them. As this Florida family has learned, tech companies aren’t going to do this for us.
If you have been reading this blog at all, you will have seen my plea to change your default password on any device that connects to the internet. Those of you who are more on the ball may have wondered why this is necessary if you have a firewall on your router. Won’t the firewall keep an intruder out? The answer is yes and no.
Lets look at how an internet connected device works and then it will become more clear. What makes internet connect devices or IoT devices so handy, is through the internet they connect to a server that provides extra functionality. This allows the IoT device to stay small and less expensive as it doesn’t need a bunch of computing power. It uses the computing power of the server instead. This also allows you to benefit from the data sent by other people’s IoT devices.
All traffic in and out of your network goes through a router which is protected by a firewall. The firewall blocks most malicious traffic, but it can’t stop everything. If it did you wouldn’t be able to connect to the internet at all. The router acts like a mailman making sure the data it receives gets sent to the right device. The first time the data is sent the router doesn’t know who the data is from or where it goes. It has to check the routing information on the data to figure this out. This can slow traffic down considerably if it has to be done every time data is transferred.
To speed the process up, the router remembers the routing information for certain types of data coming from certain types of devices. Once it is remembered, all data from that remembered device outside your network is delivered automatically to the remembered device inside your network . Hackers take advantage of this efficiency by impersonating a remembered device. In the case of an IoT device, the router thinks the data is coming from the IoT server but it is really coming from the hacker’s computer. If this happens the only thing protecting your IoT device and your network is the device’s password.
So ,yes, your firewall will protect all your devices from an attacker trying to get into your network. However, no, it won’t protect you once an IoT device has communicated with it’s server. This is why it is so important to change the device’s default password and to make sure the new passwords are strong.
Last month the company Netscout, set up a honeypot to see how long it would take for an Internet connected (IoT) device to be attacked once it was connected to the web. Hold on to your socks. It takes an astounding 5 min for hackers to try to login to your device using a default password. That is all you have to change that default password, 5 min. Wait longer than that and they gain access.
Should you successfully get your password changed, you are not in the clear yet. Attack number two will happen in less than 24 hours. That is when criminals will try to use known vulnerabilities to hack into the device. This gives you less than 24 hours to update its firmware/software and patch those vulnerabilities.
Why should you care if someone gets access to your IoT device? Once accessed the hackers can make your device part of a botnet and use it to attack other organizations or companies by distributing malware or perpetrating a DDoS attack.
Should you get a cool IoT device for Christmas whether it is a Google Home, Echo Dot, smart light bulbs or a smart thermostat, change the default password immediately and download and install any updates. Not only will you be protecting your device, but you will be making the Internet a safer place for everyone.
This year, there are tons of cool tech gadgets on the market. Everything from teddy bears that connect to the internet to personal alarms. As neat as all of these devices are, some of them have the potential to leave the users feeling exposed and violated.
Thankfully, the good folks at Mozilla have put together a terrific website that examines the privacy risks of the hottest tech gifts. At privacy not included you can find out what information a device collects, what is done with that data and what kind of security the device has. They also rate customer service. To make it extra fun, consumers can give each item a creepiness rating based on how comfortable they would be having that device in their home. Check it out.
Have a thermostat, doorbell or baby monitor that connects to the internet? How about a router? Have you changed the default password that came with the device? No? Well, you might want to get right on that. Why? Well, the default passwords of most devices can be found on the internet. Yup, that is correct. You can do a simple search of the make and model of your device and in most cases get its default password.
This is very handy when you are setting up your device for the first time or you have to perform a factory reset. It is also very handy for hackers who count on consumers leaving the default password as is. Once criminals have the password, they can easily gain control of the device. Numerous instances of baby monitors scanning rooms on their own and devices being turned into bots for deny of service attacks have been documented.
This is just another gentle reminder to change your default password and keep the device firmware up to date on anything that connects to the internet. Want to learn more about internet connected devices? Check out this blog post.
CloudPets allows kids to send and receive messages through an adorable stuffed animal. Unfortunately, last year hundred of thousands of kids using CloudPets had their data and voice messages exposed. You would think that after such an incident, the company would take measures to fix the vulnerabilities that allowed that to happen. However, researchers have found that over a year later, nothing has changed. The toys remain full of security flaws that can easily be exploited.
Fed up with the companies clear lack of concern over their user’s privacy, Walmart, Target and Amazon have pulled the toys from their stores. If one of your loved ones has a CloudPet, I strongly recommend that you disconnect it from the Internet until the company addresses their security issues.

We finally are over the flu thing!!! We still are coughing a little, but are no longer contagious anymore so we can go visit my mother! This is great. The sickness lasted about 8 days per person. Worst was the fever that would come and go for 6 days.

High rates can make a financial obligation trap for customers whom find it difficult to settle payments and sign up for payday advances.
One out of 10 Ohioans has brought down an alleged “payday loan, ” typically where cash is lent against a check that is post-dated.
But beginning Saturday, the old-fashioned pay day loan will go away from Ohio, as a result of a legislation passed away last year meant to break straight down on sky-high rates of interest and sneaky charges.
It’s going to be changed with “short-term loans” which have an extended loan payment duration, a cap on interest and costs and restrictions on what much could be lent. The modifications are projected to truly save Ohioans $75 million per year.
Home Bill 123 took impact in October, but organizations had 180 times to change into the brand new guidelines and laws. Payday as well as other little loan loan providers stated what the law states would shut their businesses down, but significantly more than 200 areas have actually registered to use beneath the brand brand brand new guidelines, including 15 in Cincinnati.
CheckSmart announced Thursday it could stop money that is lending continue steadily to offer check cashing along with other services along with accumulate re re payments on outstanding loans.
Another big Ohio payday loan provider, Cincinnati-based Axcess Financial, questioned whether or not it could be in a position to keep its Check ‘n Go stores open beneath the brand new guidelines.
“Big federal federal government solutions seldom benefit customer or commercial passions but we will have the way the market reacts to the solution, ” Doug Clark, president of Axcess Financial, stated in a declaration. “We think big gaps stay in the state-regulated credit market and much more credit challenged consumers could have the most challenging time dancing with HB 123 services and products. “
Bill sponsor Rep. Kyle Koehler, R-Springfield, stated the restrictions that are new ensure it is hard for predatory loan providers to benefit from individuals. Koehler stated an automobile name https://speedyloan.net/bad-credit-loans-co loan shop in Springfield had been telling borrowers they needed seriously to spend up due to the brand new legislation or lose their cards. The shop provided Koehler’s quantity to customers that are disgruntled.
“I discover that despicable, to be genuine truthful, which they would treat individuals in this way, ” Koehler stated. “When we fixed what the law states to safeguard people and so they would treat them by doing this. “
Listed here is a run-down of just exactly just what has changed.
A fresh front side has exposed in a far more than decade-long battle in Ohio between customer advocates while the lending industry that is payday. (Picture: Gary Landers / The Enquirer)
Loans will likely to be capped
Just one loan may be removed from a loan provider at any given time. Which is a change that is big the old model, where borrowers would borrow additional money to settle from the first loan and quite often result in a period of financial obligation.
Regulations limits the quantity lent to $2,500 in one or numerous lenders.
Borrowers need to signal a statement they don’t have a lot more than $2,500 in short-term loans, and loan providers need to produce an effort that is concerted check always.
Loans may well be more reasonable and clear
What the law states caps loans at a 28% apr and sets brand new restrictions on charges.
For loans lower than 90 times, the payment (including charges) cannot exceed 6 per cent associated with the debtor’s gross month-to-month earnings or 7 per cent of web month-to-month earnings. For loans higher than ninety days but not as much as a year, costs and interest cannot go beyond 60 % regarding the initial loan quantity.
This means, if you took away a $500 loan, you’ll not spend significantly more than $300 in costs.
Month-to-month charges are capped to 10 % associated with loan that is original or $30, whichever is less.
What the law states additionally closes a loophole lenders utilized to provide automobile name loans, in which the debtor’s automobile registration is collateral for the loan.
Borrowers can transform their minds and repay early
There is a grace that is three-day in which a debtor can cancel the mortgage and get back the cash without penalty.
If financing is repaid early, the debtor would reunite an amount that is prorated of and interest.
You will see less places to have a short-term loan
Ohio had a lot more than 650 payday and little loan companies prior to the law that is new.
Just 10 businesses have already been licensed to provide loans beneath the brand new legislation at 217 places:
- Ace Money Express, Inc.
- Advance America/Cash Advance Centers of Ohio
- All Type Check Cashing, Inc. /Cash Avoid
- Credit Fair, LLC
- Fig Loans Texas, LLC
- Great Lakes Specialty Finance Inc. /Check ‘n Get
- Ohio Valley Money Loans, Inc.
- Feasible Financial Inc. /Possible Financial
- RMPF Investments, LLC/1st Solution Financial
- SCIL, Inc. /Speedy Money
Another 10 businesses have sent applications for licenses through the Ohio Department of Commerce.
Old payday loan storefronts may stay available and gives services such as for example cash instructions, cash transfers, prepaid cards, bill re re payment solutions, income tax prep and always check cashing.
“currently, one state-licensed loan provider is providing that loan in full conformity utilizing the General Loan Law, ” the organization stated in a declaration. “CheckSmart looks forward with other loan providers bringing their products or services to the marketplace concept to deliver customers with options to fit their credit requirements. “
While there could be fewer brick-and-mortar shops loans that are offering online loan providers can run underneath the legislation and some were certified. One is Seattle-based feasible Finance, a phone app that is mobile. Feasible Finance makes loans which are paid back in four installments over eight months. Loans are authorized predicated on analysis of this debtor’s bank-account deals.
” In the finish, the forecast that most lenders that are payday keep hawaii of Ohio hasn’t arrive at fruition, ” Koehler stated. “In fact, we’ve individuals arriving at Ohio. ”

Holly Gagnier nude
Sunny days, the beach and good-looking Baywatch babes are what you saw on the TV series, not unlike the film version. Not only did people watch Baywatch because of the good-looking babes and hunks, but a good majority of the storylines also had good acting and lots of action. Bonann created the TV show, it was full of excitement and non-ending drama.
Holly Gagnier is the Baywatch Babe that played Gina Pomeroy on the TV and to date has been in about 57 movies and TV shows combined.
This headshot was submitted by the actor or their agent for consideration in a television or movie role. Each of these photos were pulled from raw agency photo casting boxes, comprised of many actors that never made it. We are selling the needles in the haystack from this time-consuming effort. These would have been shot on full frame film cameras and printed using a traditional photographic film printing process.
Get them while they last. When they are gone, they are gone. Headshot Condition: The headshot should be in good condition. However due to the nature of the headshot process, the photo contains staple holes where the actors resume was once attached and may also have minor blemishes such as fingerprints or dings. The digital image you see here is intentionally inferior to the original headshot.

Over the period of two Saturdays (June 30th and July 7th), Phantom Scream (my band) went into the studio to record tracks for our upcoming five-song EP (demo). From the recommendations of a few friends, who are also in bands themselves, we went with 459 Audio Recreations. In addition to the experience, he records local bands at relatively inexpensive rates. Considering the equipment he uses, it’s amazing!
Here’s some notes I’d like to pass along:
- Bring your own snacks and drinks. Plenty of water is a must.
- I’m not sure if this was specific to our situation, but the tracking room and lounge were toasty! If a fan won’t mess up the recording, bring it. Otherwise, a couple towels and spare shirts would help.
- Print lyrics for the audio engineer, so they can mark it accordingly for spots that need fixing.
Note: I wrote this a week or so after recording, but never got around to posting it.

Until Sep 26 (Online viewing room)
Since the late 1980s Catherine Opie has been documenting the people and geographies that make up the United States. What connects these experiences is often a road trip.
Today, Opie is back on the road. Amidst the global pandemic and socio-political unrest, Opie has embarked on a road trip―this time across the country in a newly purchased RV―to document the people, places, and landmarks that have become the visual markers of the country’s upheaval.
On the Road with Catherine Opie functions as a survey of the artist’s career, highlighting the many times she has taken to the road to record transformational historical and political moments. We’re offering you the chance to see the country through Opie’s lens.
This online presentation accompanies Opie’s exhibition Rhetorical Landscapes, on view at Lehmann Maupin in New York

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance (2 Pet. 3:9)
In order to get around the notion that God would want all to be saved, Calvinists suggest that the pronoun us in the phrase ”to us-ward” refers to the elect only, since Peter’s greeting at the beginning of his epistle is addressed to the saints. However, most letters in the New Testament are addressed to saints and it does not follow that we can therefore interpret pronouns in such a restrictive way. Moreover, if Peter would be speaking only of those already saved, why all the warnings and why does Peter express his hope for that they should come to the knowledge of the truth? If Calvinism is right, the elect are by definition those who have already come to the knowledge of true salvation. It is clear that Peter believes that they have already come to the knowledge of the truth and that they must still be aware in order to not be led away on wicked ways and fall from their steadfastness.
2 Cor. 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
When it comes to verses such as Rom 3:23 where it says that ”all have sinned”, then Calvinists believe it literally means every single human being (apart from Jesus), but when it comes to verses such as 2 Cor. 5:14-15, where we can read ”–that if one died for all, then were all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again”, then Calvinists choose to interpret ”all” as the elect only, just like they do with 2 Pet. 3:9 and whichever other verse that suggests that God really does not want anyone to perish.
Ez. 18:23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
Ez. 33:11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Peter tells us that some people are willfully ignorant of God’s coming judgment, and they are scoffers who walk after their own lusts – something that definitely would be against God’s will.
2 Pet. 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
In v. 7 we can read that such people will perish when it is time for the judgment – due to their ungodliness (something against God’s will). Peter urges his readers to not be ignorant of such serious warnings, and he comments that some people twist the scriptures to their own destruction. (It does not seem they were chosen to be non-elect before the creation of the world, but they actually cause their own destruction just like the Bible says.)
2 Pet 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
Note Paul’s statement about longsuffering in Romans 9:
Rom. 9:22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
God is longsuffering with those who disbelieve, but some vessels are fitting themselves to destruction. Clay has a will of its own, but there is a proper place for clay that is eventually rendered totally useless and that is on the scrap heap. Clay can be marred in the potter’s hands (Jer. 18), and what potter wants his clay to be marred? If the potter would be the one causing his own clay to be destroyed, the word ”longsuffering” would be very much out-of-place. ”Longsuffering” rather indicates that the potter is very patient with the clay, and strongly desire for it to be useful in one way or the other. However, there are limits for how many attempts the potter can handle, and one day the clay will finally end up where it belongs – due to its own actions. It has caused its own destruction despite many chances to become something useful that could please his maker.
2 Tim. 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.21 If a man therefore PURGE HIMSELF FROM THESE, he shall be a vessel unto HONOUR, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Preachers might express themselves with the pronoun ”us” in their sermons before a group of Christians in a church, and still include a larger part of people other than those present in the church.
Romans 4:24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, IF we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead.

Marko Maras, CEO and co-founder of Fido, commented: “Over the past few years, both consumer buying methods and channels have changed, as well as the types of products and services purchased. For this reason, it is clear that traditional risk assessment systems are not very effective in tracking the risk profile of certain segments of the population, in particular, new digital consumers between 18 and 25 years old.” He added: “Fido was created to be a complementary solution to traditional risk assessment systems. The novelty of Fido lies in the use of alternative data sources and risk analysis models aimed at better profiling online customers in full respect of privacy.”

The increasingly widespread use of the internet makes available a lot of information about the users who use it, such as social networks, data on the navigation online, e-mail and on the devices used.
This information, called “digital footprint”, has strong predictive power and is used by Fido to track in more effectively the risk profile of new digital consumers. Fido collects this information through a network of data providers (online publishers and e-commerce sites) in the full respect for privacy. Fido services can be activated via API or in “no-code” mode by displaying the data directly in the Dashboard.

Since the adoption of information technology solutions paving the way in the healthcare industry, the Cloud computing service is on the rise. The service offers easy access to servers, storage, and databases, with a wide range of applications. Healthcare cloud computing provides flexibility to control data scalability, a huge amount of storage of clinical statistics in healthcare centers and clinics and faster ease of access to digital medical records. According to the market facts and insights, the global market for Healthcare Cloud Computing is predicted to exceed USD55 billion by 2025. It’s all attributed to the rising demand for IT solutions in the space. Cloud computing techniques further enable IT facilities to get back assets from the internet by using web-based tools and applications.
Escalating utilization of cloud computing inpatient billing to cut down capital expenditure pertaining to the conventional mode of billing practices will further accelerate the revenue size. As per the regional basis, the North America healthcare cloud computing market accounted for over USD 8.5 billion in last year and is anticipated to witness a similar trend in forthcoming years. The main reason for the growth of the business in this region is growing healthcare expenditure coupled with the adoption of technologically advanced solutions. Additionally, rising adoption for EHRs (Electronic Health Records) among medical professionals in addition to the active involvement of private key players in the development of the healthcare industry will fuel the North America healthcare cloud computing industry growth throughout the projected timeframe.
In the healthcare cloud computing market, the private cloud segment is expected to grow with 15.7 percent CAGR during the forecast period, owing to inclination towards the private cloud as its advantages like data protection and customization of the cloud environment. In 2018, hospitals segment held over 22 percent revenue share as of the rising number of patient visits in healthcare centers. Growing prevalence of chronic diseases and an escalating number of surgeries being performed in care locations settings will spur the demand for patient data storage.

My instrument cluster on my Infinti QX56 was performing intermittently with an inoperative tachometer and various segments of the display flickering or blacking out altogether. I was skeptical of sending out my cluster for fear of not getting a proper repair, or worse, not getting my instrument cluster back at all.
After reviewing cluster repair services online, I found several that were less expensive than Cluster Fix, but appeared less creditable. I felt more comfortable in putting my faith in Cluster Fix when Shannon Johnston, the owner, appears in videos on his WEB site describing his services, how to remove the cluster and the proper shipping methods.
However, I was still concerned with my cluster going astray. Mr. Johnston assured me that they had never had one go missing in transit. To put my mind at ease, I paid USPS an extra $15 to insure the package for the full dealer retail replacement cost. I shipped my instrument cluster to Cluster Fix from Florida on a Monday morning. I received it back the following Monday. I re-installed the cluster. It was like brand new. I highly recommend Cluster Fix.
