George Meade was given command of the Army of the Potomac just three days before the battle of Gettysburg, site of the charge by Pickett's confederate troops which proved to be a decisive defeat for the Confederate cause. Cass is referring to that defeat when he notes, somewhat obscurely, that Jeb Stuart and his cavalry troops were not at the battle, "when Lee should have known of all of Meade just where Hancock was on Cemetery Ridge" (272). Meade was in command of "Hancock" and his Union troops; Cemetery Ridge was the point at which Pickett's ill-fated charge was directed. | https://faulkner.drupal.shanti.virginia.edu/content/meade | 1,656,639,368 | 1,656,639,470 |

Ever wonder what Marquette was like 100 years ago? Marquette’s bus tour gives residents and tourists a chance to travel back in time.
Tours consist of visiting different historic sites downtown.
Patrons get to experience first person perspective of what life was like in Marquette. This is a different way for people to learn the history
“We’ve realized how very effective first person interpretation is. It’s a change in voice and a change in attitude, when people see a costume, see props and get to experience the vitality of a character. Then they really remember that story,” said Betsy Rutz, Museum Educator.
Betsy narrates the Historical Marquette Bus Tours, she’s eager to share her love of Marquette and the history it offers.
She also enjoys listening to personal stories that are shared on the bus.
“I love learning from the patrons, I love learning from the tourist, the citizens of Marquette and those who enjoy history. It’s such an enjoyable thing. It’s a Great way to make your day,” said Rutz.
If you’re a local or tourist it’s a great way to revitalize ownership of the community and know the history behind the buildings you drive by every single day.
“When you refocus and look at something from a different angle, you then appreciate it more. As we all know if we want things to stick around we have to appreciate them and care for them. It’s a great way for the community to reinvigorate their own love of their community,” Rutz added. | https://abc10up.com/2018/07/17/travel-back-in-time-with-this-historical-bus-tour/ | 1,656,418,689 | null |
Back in late 2011 the Independent wrestling circuit was sort of filpped upside down when both Claudio Castagnoli and Chris Hero had private tryouts with the WWE at the behest of William Regal. Claudio was offered and a contract right on the spot and then the following February Hero was as well, this lead to a big loss of ROH would be losing their top heel tag team in one feel swoop. I think we all know the success that man later known as Cesaro would go onto have in the WWE, but the same can't be said for Hero.
Repackaged as Kassius Ohono and assigned to the rebranded developmental territory called NXT his career seemed to kick off right. When Hero signed came up with the name of K.O due to it his gimmicked infatuation with knocking his opponets out. However, due to problems with management Hero's time in the WWE was very short and he would actually never make it to the main roster. Honestly, I think never making to main roster may have motivated him when he went back to the Indies to prove something to himself as I feel like his run on the Indies post WWE was better then before he was with the company.
As of a few days ago and Dave Meltzer next to confirming the story it seems very likely that one of the "debuts" we could be seeing next year for WWE could be the former Kassihus Ohono. If in fact this is definetly going to happen and Hero will be heading back to the WWE then I for one am very happy for Chris and am actually really excited about the prospect of Hero & Cesaro reuniting under the WWE banner as the Kings of Wrestling for a total mark out moment. But I guess for right now we have to wait and see what will happen in the coming weeks leading into the new year. | https://www.wrestlingexpress.net/wwe/hero-heading-back-to-wwe | 1,656,769,555 | null |

I remember when the year 2000 seemed like a distant, futuristic, bizarre milestone that would see human beings colonizing the moon, taking weekend getaways to Mars, and driving flying cars.
Well, we’re not exactly flying around in our fuel-efficient hybrids, those colonies on the moon never quite materialized, and those weekend getaways are reserved for a fake astronaut powering his way through space in a Tesla.
Something about a left turn at Albuquerque…umm…hello?
Instead, when the year 2000 rolled around, we were told that our computers probably weren’t smart enough to understand that 2000 was not 1900. Once we sorted through that interesting situation, we had to get used to writing “00” on all of our checks, voters in Florida had a difficult time figuring out how to use paper ballots, and one of the most popular movies of the year starred a volleyball named Wilson.
I still held out hope that we’d at least have our flying cars by 2015, according to “Back to the Future Part II” theory. However, given my own personal observations of highway drivers in 2018, flying cars probably aren’t the best idea and should probably stay in our imaginations for the time being. (If stoplights and speed limits are still viewed as mere “suggestions,” we need a little more practice on the ground. And don’t get me started on the chronic offenders.)
Deep down, I think we were all secretly thinking that our future would look something like this…
So…what did you envision the “future” looking like when you were a kid? What surprised you the most that has happened? What would you like to see that hasn’t happened yet? | http://www.saradgarland.com/humor/an-observation-the-future/ | 1,656,484,747 | null |

One of the kindergartens in Makó got bigger classrooms, a gym with a climbing wall, group rooms and even a salt room. The Örömsziget (Isle of Joy) as the institution is now called, has been run by the Reformed congregation of Makó-Újváros since 2011.

The long-standing dream of the staff has been fulfilled with the doubling of the floor space of the kindergarten - from 400 square meters to 800 - in Makó Újváros, which is now called the Isle of Joy. Larger group rooms, classrooms and a climbing wall gym has been added. This was necessary not only because the number of children is constantly growing, but also to ensure that all the children attending the school receive the care and development they need. Special education and psychology rooms focusing on mental and physical health of children with special educational needs have been set up. An accessible rest room has been completed, and the salt room is now helping children recover from asthma. The congregation reveived more than 400 million HUF for the entire project, but due to the rise in construction prices, considerable self-financing and community work was needed to complete the project.

At the opening ceremony, Bishop Károly Fekete (Transtibiscan Church District, Debrecen) quoted the famous phrase of the reformer Melanchthon, that schools are the church's garden, and added: "our kindergartens are the beds for the seedlings, from which the garden grows". The Bishop also spoke of the importance of early education. He said: "If the education of the family and the community reinforce each other, then a strong personality can emerge, both physically and spiritually."

“In the kindergarten, which is maintained by the Reformed Church of Makó-Újváros since 2011, a lot of energy is put into the self-development of children. The focus is on educating with a Christian spirit, and part of it is the development of a positive self-image and the ability to develop trust," said Csabáné Bertus Barcza, head of the institution.

According to István Kotormán, the pastor of the congregation, the pedagogy of love is the most important: "We educate with love, in love and for love. Children can only be educated to love when they experience loving attitudes. This can be provided by Christian kindergartens and schools, following the example of Jesus Christ."

The Edmund Rice Network has a presence in over thirty countries where members of the network can be found working with and for the more underprivileged of God’s people.
In its work of advocacy ERI would hope to both draw on the experience of the Edmund Rice Networkand to enlist the support of its members, including students in the Edmund Rice Network of schools, in its efforts to help bring about a more just and sustainable world, .
ERI seeks to mobilise the resources of the Edmund Rice network in a global advocacy campaign in which we hope to involve as many as possible of the more than quarter of a million students in Edmund Rice schools around the world in support of the Caritas/EAA letter-writing campaign to governments and pharmaceutical companies, to improve access to medicines for children with HIV.
Elsewhere on this website are some guidelines for involving students in advocacy as we are inviting all schools to encourage students to take part in the campaign in some way. You may want to involve the whole school, a particular year level or just one class.
You will need to set aside two hours of class time to enable the students to learn about HIV and AIDS and how their letter might help children with HIV, and then to actually write their letters.
Letters should be addressed to the health ministries of the countries where HIV/AIDS is a problem. The campaign to write letters to pharmaceutical companies is temporarily suspended as the patents for the medication have now been transferred to generic pharmaceutical manufacturing companies and there will need to be a revision of the message to be addressed to these companies.
Letter-writers are urged to take into account some of the recommendations made by the Coalition for Children Affected by AIDS , including World Vision International , the Elizabeth Glaser Paediatric AIDS Foundation and others. In particular, the civil society organisations working on behalf of children and adolescents and their families urged UN country delegations to ensure that the 2016 High-Level Meetings’ Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS and the Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS covers the following points:
1.Commit to achieve and sustain by 2020 elimination of mother-to-child transmission, with under 40,000 new HIV infections among children;
2.Commit to have by 2020 at least 2 million children living with HIV on treatment and virally suppressed
3.Commit to ensuring 75% of children, adolescents and their parents living with HIV and affected by HIV receive comprehensive care and support – including comprhensive social protection and child protection;
4.Commit to strengthening the capacity of families, the community-level child care workforce, and the social welfare workforce, so that together they can meet the developmental needs of children living with HIV and affected by HIV, from pregnancy to early childhood, and into adolescence.
5.Commit to a target that 90% of children living with HIV and affected by HIV are free from stigma and discrimination due to their HIV status and/or that of their caregivers. | http://www.edmundriceinternational.org/?page_id=1098 | 1,656,692,177 | null |

Some people say the answer lies in rituals having certain psychological effects. Others say it’s about doing what humans have done in the past. Some point to religion, or community bonding, or ecology.
It all gets very involved. In order to help potential funeral buyers get a handle on what they might need, I plan in future posts to discuss ways different parties have answered the question, and domains of knowledge supporting or contradicting their opinions.
Without delving into controversies, let’s just list the related questions that arise when we ask the main question above.
What have people done with their dead in the past?
Why have people handled their burial needs differently at different times and in different places?
Considering our cultural background here in the United States, are some historical practices more informative than others in understanding our needs?
What is grief?
What are we supposed to do when we are grieving?
Can certain activities change grief, and should that be the goal?
What are rituals?
How do rituals work, for us as individuals, and socially?
How does human psychology fit in with all of this?
Could we, so to speak, strip away the historical clothing of our mourning traditions, and examine our minds and emotions in the face of death from a more clinical viewpoint?
In other words, what do we really need from funerals?
If you’re trying to decide between cremating or not cremating, or whether you need to bury the ashes, or what type of service you should have, knowing what funerals do would be helpful.
I think one of the main questions that actually comes up in people’s minds is: What are we supposed to do? Knowing the actual history of what people like us have done in the past can help with that difficult question.
We want to do what is right, both for the deceased and for the survivors. We don’t want to be disrespectful, or impair anyone’s grieving process. If we are deciding between spending moderate or large sums of money, we ought to understand what exactly we would be buying. We want to have a concept of what is proper, or extravagant, or chintzy, whether we should incur debt, or how this purchase stands alongside others we may have to make.
Finally—to switch gears—the questions should be of interest to people in the funeral businesses.
If you are trying to sell full-fledged services, with the viewings and processions, or if you have a cemetery or crematory, and you want to get an idea what the future might hold, taking an objective view of the products might be useful.
Maybe your business is doing well, or poorly, and you want to learn the right lesson from the experience. Maybe you are trying to decide on a capital investment, or whom to hire.
Maybe you’re planning to go down to the state house and talk to a legislator or commissioner, and you want to make sure you ask for the right kind of help.
You might work in a related endeavor such as a supplier company or a mortuary science college. I read somewhere that students in funeral schools don’t consider the history or psychology portions of the curriculum as important as the technical training in embalming and restoration. That’s probably good because they need to get those aspects down if they are going to get licensed to work at all. But eventually the big picture will likely come into view.
In all of these scenarios, it would be good to understand what customers really get from funeral and burial practices. | https://dullesfuneral.com/rational-death/questions-about-what-we-need-from-funerals/ | 1,656,343,338 | null |

The UK Government should seize “a historic opportunity for a reset” in the post-pandemic economy, according to a member of the Covid Recovery Commission upon the release of its final paper.
Titled Ambition 2030: A Partnership for Growth, the independent commission’s third report urges greater cooperation on policies from government, businesses, universities, and communities. Rapid development of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine is cited as an example of what can be achieved through such collaborations.
“The benefits are multiple, but most importantly you get the parts of the economy doing what they are best equipped to do. Look at the vaccine – university innovation, combined with big business investment and scaling, combined with supportive government procurement and regulation,” says Covid Recovery Commission member Manoj Badale, co-founder of UK-based digital venture builder Blenheim Chalcot.
“We have a historic opportunity for a reset, and the post-pandemic growth challenges are immense.”
The report recommends actions to emerge from the pandemic with an economy that is stronger, fairer and more resilient. The authors propose a National Prosperity Plan capable of delivering economic growth and boosting UK living standards. They identify five immediate national imperatives to help secure the economic recovery:
– Creating the conditions for innovation and value-added growth
– Investing in the skills of the future
– Investing in and delivering world-class infrastructure
– Decarbonising energy demand to deliver net-zero
– Building personal and community resilience
From the wide range of recommendations, Badale identifies innovation as being the key driver of future economic growth.
“We are in the business of innovation, and as such the recommendations on unlocking pension fund money for growth businesses, along with the development of catapult quarters – innovation districts – and a regulatory environment that promotes national competitiveness,” he says.
Large sections of the report are dedicated to ‘levelling up’ regions of the UK. The recommended creation of catapult quarters involves dedicated regions focusing on innovations in specific industry areas. Despite the existing presence of community-based investment zones such as freeports and university-led innovation areas, Badale believes these need to go further.
“You need all of the conditions – most importantly the combination of talent with scale-up capital,” he says.
Investing in communities and skills
The report examines the wider role of businesses in local communities. The authors suggest that companies should have their contribution to the area they operate in measured and graded. Badale says that businesses should also look to value people instead of just profits.
“We need businesses to be more purpose-led, with clear scorecards of their local contribution, and the ability to start measuring the human balance sheet – not just the financial balance sheet,” he adds.
Implementing recommendations from the report will take significant government investment, which will increase public debt further after the billions already spent on responding to the pandemic. This follows a decade of austerity in the UK after the 2008 global banking crisis.
The post-Brexit trade arrangements create further uncertainty. Alongside this are the challenges in meeting carbon emission reduction targets in line with net-zero commitments. However, Badale believes that the best way forward is through growth and not cuts.
“The only way we solve the public debt challenge is through growth, which generates government income,” he says.
To make the UK more competitive globally, the report recommends addressing national skills shortages. By 2030, this gap is predicted in areas such as digital services, management, and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
On top of this are fears that the unemployment rate could surge once government furlough ends in September, with as many as 2.2 million people potentially unemployed by the end of 2021.
The commission proposes introducing lifelong learning and a ‘Help to Train’ policy to halve the 2030 skills gap. Everyone aged over 25 would have an individual learner account, providing them with the option to retrain and gain new skills for future jobs.
Badale suggests a focus on digital and data skills “not just for young people – but retraining large parts of the workforce.” | https://the-cfo.io/2021/05/04/report-urges-collaborative-approach-to-rebuilding-uk-economy/ | 1,656,576,981 | null |

Nowadays, vaccines have become so common that you probably were vaccinated with multiple shots to attend school, travel to foreign countries, or work at your job. Unlike most medicines that treat or cure diseases, vaccines are a preventative measure to avoid or reduce sickness in the first place. One of the most popular vaccines is for influenza virus, more commonly referred to as the flu shot; however, the effectiveness of the annual flu shot varies and new approaches to enhance the response to vaccination are needed. What if I told you there is a technology that boosts the immune response and effectiveness of the flu shot?
Vaccination prepares and hones the immune system to combat a pathogen, such as a bacteria or a virus. A vaccine gives a healthy person a killed or weakened pathogen. This triggers the immune system to respond and trains it to "remember" the pathogen so it can fight against it if that pathogen returns. Proper vaccine administration is essential to the safety and efficacy of vaccines. Most vaccines are injected into the skin or muscle.
Brian P. Pollack, MD, PhD, an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Emory's School of Medicine, has developed an approach to improve and boost the effectiveness of current flu vaccinations. This innovation is particularly important for people with weaker immune systems such as children, the elderly, and the immunocompromised.
Brian Pollack, MD, PhD
Pollack noticed the growing interest and need for creating vaccines with higher efficacy, stronger safety profiles, and longer-lasting protection. His approach leverages the immune effects of a class of medicines called kinase inhibitors, initially developed to treat cancer, as vaccine "adjuvants." Adjuvants are ‘immune boosters' used to stimulate the immune system and improve the patient's response to the vaccine. It is also helpful in increasing the response so that only a single vaccination is required rather than multiple doses or shots. Adjuvants are not new and are used in some U.S. vaccines currently; however, concerns have been raised about long-term toxicity from one of the aluminum-based adjuvants.
Pollack and his colleagues have used epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (EGFRIs), which are currently used to treat certain cancers, in conjunction with vaccination procedures. Pollack's work indicates that local application of these inhibitors produces higher chemoattractant cytokines and chemokines that recruit immune cells into the skin that can help boost the immune response.
Further, Pollack adds that kinase inhibitors "complement other approaches to enhance the response to vaccination." Pollack states that the strength of these kinase inhibitors is their rapid availability since they are already approved for human use.
"Vaccination is a growing and important pharmaceutical market, especially amidst a pandemic" says Catherine Murari-Kanti, licensing associate in the Office of Technology Transfer. "And although there are always barriers to bringing a new drug to market, a vaccine adjuvant with a key component that is already used in humans provides great commercial potential in this case."
Vaccine
The key findings in their study were that a single topical application of a kinase inhibitor at the site of vaccination augmented the immune response to the vaccine and enabled mice to fight off the virus better than control mice. Based on this research, the team believes that kinase inhibitors could be useful topical vaccine adjuvants to boost immune responses, antibody production, and ultimately vaccine-mediated protection.
Pollack's expertise in dermatology and dermatopathology played a large part in this discovery. His practice involves treating patients with medicines that act on the immune system. Pollack explains that his technology is applicable to vaccines outside of the flu, including other viruses or cancers. When given to patients systemically, kinase inhibitors can influence many processes including those performed by the immune system. Additionally, this technology appeals to the growing interest in needle-free and topical delivering approaches. Moreover, kinase inhibitors do not need to be formulated with any specific vaccine, thereby broadening this adjuvant's use while decreasing overall cost.
Pollack envisions the future where topically-applied vaccine adjuvants can be used universally to enhance the immune response from vaccines, infections, and skin cancers and says "the potential is significantly large." The next steps are to perform human studies and find commercial partners to help bring their technology to the public. | https://www.ott.emory.edu/industry/featured/kinase_inhibitors.html | 1,656,669,488 | 1,655,930,641 |
Our local hospitality businesses need YOU this Summer. Pavement licences and awnings are go! They've all worked so hard to create welcoming outdoor spaces and socially-distant dining indoors, now we're allowed back inside.
If you can't travel, then you can dine your way around the globe without leaving SE19. If you wanted to, you could go to a different cafe or restaurant every day for over a month...
Now, there's a summer holiday challenge!
We've rounded up the street-by-street hospitality round-ups in one handy, accessible blog post.
Get looking. Get booking.
Thank you to the intrepid team at Social Style Pro for crafting the original Instagram posts for ShopSE19 and to all the bars, cafes and restaurants who answered our questions while they were busy with their reopening plans.
Westow Street Treats
Let's start our journey around the Triangle with our Westow Street restaurants.
Westow Hill Dining
Westow thrills start at Dem round the corner on Central Hill.
Eats on Church Road & Crystal Palace Parade
And, onto the third side of the Triangle with more food and drink options.
Our local Al Fresco options: Cafes
We emerged from lockdown in April with a round-up of all the places you could sit outside. Local councils have granted special pavement licences until September 2021 for many of our local cafes and restaurants.
and a selection of SE19 Pubs, with outdoor space
Beer gardens and pubs with food? Read on for our tips.
Of course, post lockdown dining at The Alma Church Road, earned column inches and praise from restaurant reviewer Grace Dent.
...If you're in the mood for a stroll for your meal and pint, we need to mention The Conquering Hero (with famous Frances Bacon their in-house pig), The Bridge House, Penge at the South side of Crystal Palace Park and the Dulwich Woodhouse.
Bookmark and share this blog post! And support our locals.
And have a think about that epic 30-day challenge. It doesn't have to be consecutive days!...Or maybe make a tag team and try as many local places as you can this summer. We'd love to know what you think, eat and drink.
If you own or manage a local cafe, bar or restaurant in SE19 and would like to feature in a future #ShopSE19 blog post or newsletter, please get in touch
Until we hear otherwise, national restrictions remain in place. Please bear these in mind for making group plans and bookings. Correct as of 24 June.

Niobates are oxide compounds that contain niobium and another metal ion. Most of these materials are characterized by good piezoelectric properties. For many innovative applications they can play a decisive role for the functionality and performance of devices. In automotive applications they can improve efficiency and emission value of diesel cars or enable the future trend of connected and autonomous driving by improving performance of sensors and actuators.
Moreover, the outstanding properties of newly developed ceramics based on niobates allow for new treatment approaches and development of innovative medical equipment.
Our niobate product group includes magnesium niobate and potassium niobate, other niobates are produced upon request.
Lead Free Piezo Ceramics
Heading towards a greener future
The TANIOBIS GmbH is developing lead-free materials based on potassium sodium niobate (KNN) compounds for the replacement of conventional lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) containing piezoceramics*. In addition, we offer potassium niobate and niobium pentoxide ceramic grade with extremely low particle sizes as precursors for production of piezoceramics. Further materials for example sodium niobate and lithium niobate are available upon request.
Our lithium sodium potassium niobate has been developed since several years and can be provided with customized structural phase compositions as well as primary particle sizes.
Niobium based piezoceramic materials enable to achieve comparable or even improved technological performance compared to lead- based piezoceramic solutions. Due to their higher Curie temperature (~100-150°C higher than for PZT), niobium-based piezoceramics are promising candidates to replace lead-zirconate-titanate . Furthermore, they could be applied in high temperature environment, where current piezoceramic materials like PZT cannot be used.
Niobate based piezoceramic materials enable the usage of nickel electrodes instead of silver (Ag) or palladium (Pd). Thus, different piezoelectric constants can be compensated in actuator applications by using more layers, as the piezoelectric elongation of an actuator is proportional to the number of layers at a given voltage.
*The directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 Annex III 7(c)I regulates the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances like lead in electronic components e.g. in actuator, sensor technology or other piezoceramic based components. The validity of the exemption has been prolongated until 21 July 2021. | https://www.taniobis.com/home/technology-innovation/materials-for-green-technology.a3.en.html;jsessionid=58C0E275CED7BF5BA185A8C53A114D85 | 1,656,608,951 | null |

A new architecture for fusing information and data from heterogeneous sources is proposed. The approach takes criminalistics as a model. In analogy to the work of detectives, who attempt to investigate crimes, software agents are initiated that pursue clues and try to consolidate or to dismiss hypotheses. Like their human pendants, they can, if questions beyond their competences arise, consult expert agents. Within the context of a certain task, region, and time interval, specialized operations are applied to each relevant information source, e.g. IMINT, SIGINT, ACINT,..., HUMINT, data bases etc. in order to establish hit lists of first clues. Each clue is described by its pertaining facts, uncertainties, and dependencies in form of a local degree-of-belief (DoB) distribution in a Bayesian sense. For each clue an agent is initiated which cooperates with other agents and experts. Expert agents support to make use of different information sources. Consultations of experts, capable to access certain information sources, result in changes of the DoB of the pertaining clue. According to the significance of concentration of their DoB distribution clues are abandoned or pursued further to formulate task specific hypotheses. Communications between the agents serve to find out whether different clues belong to the same cause and thus can be put together. At the end of the investigation process, the different hypotheses are evaluated by a jury and a final report is created that constitutes the fusion result. The approach proposed avoids calculating global DoB distributions by adopting a local Bayesian approximation and thus reduces the complexity of the exact problem essentially. Different information sources are transformed into DoB distributions using the maximum entropy paradigm and considering known facts as constraints. Nominal, ordinal and cardinal quantities can be treated within this framework equally. The architecture is scalable by tailoring the number of agents according to the available computer resources, to the priority of tasks, and to the maximum duration of the fusion process. Furthermore, the architecture allows cooperative work of human and automated agents and experts, as long as not all subtasks can be accomplished automatically.

Over the past two weeks I have been alerting on the concern over the intermarket divergences and internal divergences. These always have a higher probability of predicting some type of countertrend rotation. Today’s extreme decline in the Indices has brought them to a point of being extremely oversold. This suggests the possibility of some type of pause to work off the oversold condition. How any type of rotation up develops will be important in determining whether there is more downside to come or the current move is over. | https://josephjames.com/2021/07/stock-indices-reach-extreme-oversold-levels/ | 1,656,818,839 | null |

Greece (MNN) – AMG Int’l is celebrating the 15th anniversary of the CosmoVision Center located in Athens, Greece. The center has been a key spot for ministry outreach on both the local and international level for AMG.
First built for the Athens Olympics in 2004, the CosmoVision Center was made to be a youth outreach location. Today it still focuses on youth outreach but also hosts missionary teams, host churches, and refugees.
(Photo courtesy of CosmoVision center and AMG International via Facebook)
Tasos Ioannidis, president and CEO of AMG, says, “It has turned into a multipurpose facticity that is used for all kinds of ministry both locally with the Greek-speaking people and among the immigrants.”
The center has dormitories and fields on the property for sports and youth outreach as well as buildings used by local churches and ministry groups.
Ioannidis adds that the center also hosts teams coming from outside of Greece who stay at the center to learn through the center’s education programs or help with ministry programs in Greece.
Financial Crisis and Plans for the Future
However, since the financial crisis in Greece began in 2009, the center has faced new challenges and opportunities.
“It has constrained the resources locally but it also has given new ministry opportunities to reach to the local churches through a variety of activities that are fairly inexpensive,” Ioannidis says. “God has used it in the lives of many people.”
The CosmoVision center has seen similar results from the refugee crisis in Greece as well. The center stepped into the refugee crisis and ministers to the people impacted in the country. Many of the churches the center works with are immigrant churches and multicultural churches. While the ministry’s resources may be constrained, their opportunities to share God’s Word are not.
In the future, the center plans to expand the property and build additional facilities. It also hopes to expand training opportunities so that international pastors and leaders may receive Bible training at the center.

The CosmoVision Center has so many new opportunities to share God’s Word and it wants to continue to help the Church in Greece.
“We want to see more people coming there and to see the activities on the property be used to grow the local churches and immigrant churches. There is so much potential for growth,” Ioannidis says.
How to Get Involved
Ioannidis explains that the center gets its name from the Greek word ‘cosmos’, which means ‘the world’. The center really is a vision for the world as AMG spreads God’s Word in Greece.
He says, “We are just so thankful… of what God has done in the CosmoVision Center which has exceeded all our expectations, I would not have imagined 15 years ago that we would be where we are today. This is a unique time in history where people are coming to Greece from throughout the Middle East and we have a chance to reach them and the CosmoVision Center is playing a strategic role that right now.”
Would you like to get involved?
AMG is asking for prayers for resources to be provided so it can expand the ministry. AMG also asks for prayers that God’s Word may be heard in Greece and that those already in ministry might grow in God’s Word. | https://www.mnnonline.org/news/the-cosmovision-center-celebrates-15-years-of-ministry/ | 1,656,827,378 | 1,656,648,644 |

Florence Ethel Spalding was born in Goulburn in 1881 to William and Mary Spalding. Her paternal uncle was Colonel Warner Wright Spalding, a prominent figure in the Australian defence forces, who had fought in the Sudan and became a WWI recruiting officer on the NSW North Coast. Her grandfather was Colonel Richard Carr Spalding of the British Royal Marines.
Florence completed her nurse’s training at Orange Base Hospital under the supervision of Matron Dooly.
Nurse Spalding was living in Manly with her mother when she enlisted in November 1914. She embarked from Sydney the following week aboard the Kyarra. She served on hospital ships in Gallipoli, Lemnos and Egypt, as well as in England. In January 1916 she was awarded the Royal Red Cross.
Nurse Spalding resigned her appointment in October 1916, due to her impending marriage to Leslie Fidler, of Ravensworth, Gordon, whom she had met whilst nursing in Cairo. The couple married on 7 November 1917 at the Presbyterian Church in Manly. They were living in Bronte when Leslie died in December 1927. Florence moved to the North Shore following her husband’s death, census records indicate that she lived in Chatswood and Manly during the 1930s and 40s, moving to North Sydney and then Chatswood in the 1950s and 60s. She was a resident of Hunters Hill in 1968. | http://www.centenaryww1orange.com.au/service-men-and-women/florence-ethel-spalding/ | 1,657,145,872 | null |
It’s possible that there could be more than the 4 space-time dimensions than we are normally aware of. There would have to be something different about the extra dimensions in order to hide them from us, though. It could be that the normal everyday matter is stuck on a “brane” (short for membrane) within this higher dimensional space, so we cannot experience it except through gravity.
The extra dimension might also be very small – like a tightly rolled up sheet of paper. In that case, there wouldn’t be much room to move around the extra dimension, which is why we wouldn’t see it. | https://quantumj11.imascientist.org.uk/question/is-the-sixth-dimesion-possible-vireually | 1,656,608,940 | null |
(Having had a sore back my entire adult life, I can definitely relate. When it’s behaving itself you feel like you can take on the world. But when it goes out you become as weak as a kitten. The regular – muscular – back pain is bearable, but if the disc slips and you start feeling sciatica . . . it’s like you become a cripple! Walking hurts, sitting hurts, and even lying down hurts. It’s the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. My Mom’s cousin – who also suffered from sciatica – said it was different, but worse, than childbirth. And, she only had the one kid. I’ll never be able to compare the two, so I’ll take her word for it.
All of today’s clue words have been used in previous Jumbles. Three of the jumbles appear to be new, but we’ve definitely seen “solone” before. I was able to get all of the clue words immediately. The answer letter layout was a truly fantastic fourteen letter jumble. Fabulously cryptic. It was the great cartoon, and the clue/question that made this an instantaneous solve for me.
From the guy’s sweater, I’m guessing this is a semi-holiday themed cartoon. Christmas decorations usually aren’t all that heavy, but who knows for sure what is in that box he was trying to carry. He should always bend his knees, and lift with his legs! It looks like they’re in some kind of storage facility. She might need to use the dolly to get him out of there. Good Jumble. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

With Ukraine still struggling from war in the east and economic collapse throughout the country, Purim came to Kharkov, bringing smiles to the faces of those in the Jewish community.
Thousands of people filled seats at the Kharkov circus to hear the reading of the Megillah and enjoy a full program in the true Jewish Purim spirit. At the circus entrance as they arrived, hundreds of men and boys put on tefillin, women and girls received Shabbat candles, and everyone got mishloach manot gifts of food.
The FJC’s ‘Or Avner’ Jewish elementary school — with the children adorned in colorful costumes — put on a Purim shpiel (comedy) to the delight of the audience. There were also acrobats, clowns and singing, with men and boys dancing to Jewish songs.
Rabbi Moshe Moskovitz, chief rabbi of Kharkov, said a prayer for peace in the nation and the world.
Rabbi Levi Raices, together with the boys’ school, livened up the Megillah reading, dressed up as robots from outer space. Cantor Yitzchak Halfon sang lively medleys with his sons.
The Purim spirit continued throughout the entire day with special programs in the kindergarten, the girls’ school and the Yeshiva, a program for the city’s youth and a lively festive meal in the community synagogue. | https://fjc-fsu.org/an-uplifting-purim-in-kharkov-ukraine/ | 1,656,388,707 | null |

All You Need to Know About Conducting Telemarketing Surveys
BY Natalie Ramirez 0 COMMENTS
Telemarketing doesn’t have to have such a negative undertone. When conducting telemarketing surveys, you’re not trying to sell, sell, sell to the person on the other end of the line. Your focus is more on gathering key information that can help you design a better customer service experience or better product design.

40 Creative Ways to Use a Telephone Message Service
BY Natalie Ramirez 0 COMMENTS
Our team loves being mistaken as an on-site employee from our customers’ calling customers. When we answer the lines for our business customers, we try really hard to assist all callers just as one of your in-house employees would. So, how do we do what we do? We’re able to act as an extension of your office because we provide endless customization options for all of our customer accounts. Our virtual receptionist team wants you to look at our telephone message service with a creative eye so you can see the value we add to just about any task. | https://courteouscom.com/blog/post/tag/name/%20Telephone%20Answering%20Service/ | 1,656,409,360 | null |

ZenPro Audio is an online only (no store front) worldwide seller of pro audio gear with a focus on recording studio needs. We are equipped with an onsite studio, more often than not we can give you great advice when you ask to compare _____ to _____ before making purchase decisions. I try and offer context and guidance when it comes to what you have and where you are trying to go. Ask those who know me and you'll know I do not try to push people into more expensive items unless they make absolute sense (many times I talk people out of purchases). I've been known to answer emails at all hours of the night, and make myself reasonably available by telephone during business hours (email is more efficient most times). Our Clip-A-Lator Gear Tests use audio and video to bring context to you before you buy. I have spent countless hours writing our Gear Reviews to help you in the decision making process. My love of coffee has led to our own "Zen Blend" which we give away as gifts with most USA orders. Our ZOMBIE Cable program is literally the easiest and most affordable way to buy a pro audio cable on the planet. Our "One With Everything" Warranty gives you a real extended coverage period. Strange and unknown gear is always fun, so I try to keep original offerings here as well as industry standards. When you place an order it is processed quickly and you are kept well informed.
What We Do Not Do
We don't stalk you on the telephone because you provided your phone number. We don't constantly spam you with jibberish emails. We don't just tell you that everything sounds "warm" and "awesome". We don't tell you something sucks because we don't sell it. We don't read from a screen what somebody else wrote about gear. We don't keep notes on file and ask you how your sick mother in law is doing a year later. We don't guide sales based on profit. We don't make stuff up if we don't know the answer. We don't pressure you into feeling a certain way about anything.
Why We're Easy
Our offering is very specific: great recording gear! Some companies take the "trying to please everybody" approach and maintain many thousands of item listings...of which they know very little about. My approach at ZenPro is providing you with the quickest path to "hey, that's what I want!" without all the clutter. Focused offerings, clear sorting and search functions all make ZenPro Audio the easiest recording site on the web to navigate. The fact that nearly every desirable brand is here under one roof means we can show you a solution quickly without too many choices (yes, there can be too many...do you want to read about gear or CAPTURE GOOD SOUND?).
Our Staff
Warren Dent (me, aka Warhead), I am the owner of ZenPro Audio and I still prefer and take a hands on approach to sales and information we provide to help you make purchases here that matter. My passion is you getting what you need here, even if that means something more affordable or talking you out of a bad idea (and selling you nothing). The Clipalator is my heart and soul, one glimpse at it and you will know I am serious about real info and no hype. I still personally process all orders here and manage all business aspects, and manage to find time to spend with my family when possible. My wife Amy and I have 8 beautiful children, and yes we know what causes it...what girl can resist a gear salesman?
Bob Moore, owner of SoundLab Recording Studios is responsible for all tech work and mods. A studio owner in his third decade of servicing and using gear, he is not a "fan boy" or a guy who buys into hype. Bob understands how all of this stuff works and why it matters (or doesn't...lets face it gear isn't everything when you have skill). I have known Bob for half my life now and am proud to feature his work here, his mods have taken lots of good gear and made it WOW to lots of ears. His full time presence here allows us to offer service and warranty support on imported brands (so you don't have to mail stuff outside of the USA if an issue arises) and technical solutions for us and customers when needed. | https://www.zenproaudio.com/about-us | 1,656,824,576 | null |
Comedy Central is rolling out a new identity designed in collaboration with creative branding agency loyalkaspar. It is the first major brand refresh since 2011 and, argues the agency, in today’s multi-platform landscape, if something smells promotional consumers swipe right past it. Thus, Comedy Central’s goal is to communicate information to the viewer in a way that would maximize time spent on content rather than promos.
The strategy is supported by the creation of a custom typeface, Comedy Sans, that can be used flexibly and travels well across platforms since it’s condensed design allows it to be bold even in tight spaces.
The loyalkaspar team also streamlined and enhanced the logo to work more consistently across platforms. The C-Mark functions as a brand anchor and navigational cue, while the Word Mark can be treated like content, integrating with any show or editorial message.
A new signature color, Summer Ale, also helps anchor the brand and the new navigation system, and is most often seen in combination with black and white. | https://gdusa.com/news/fresh/loyalkaspar-helps-comedy-central-focus-on-content | 1,656,639,471 | null |

This November 2015, the Costa Rican reggae band Talawa reggae army releases it’s new album entitled #ReggaeRevival. This represents a new phase for the band, its efforts to bring the reggae sounds of the 70’s to the present, that sound that captivated them several years ago.
According to a recent press release “The production process of the album includes the study and implementation of these sounds, and the use of instruments and techniques from the Jamaica of those years, using equipment with manufacturing years previous to 1980 exclusively. It also seeks to be a tribute to all the artistic and cultural movement that has developed in Jamaica in the recent years, and which from they took the name, as well as “Exodus” the best album of the last century according to Time Magazine, and the album that accompanied the guys throughout the production process and in which the album’s art are based.”
“The entire process took about five years to find the desired result, working in 8 studios in 5 different countries (Costa Rica, Jamaica, USA, France and England), and it was mixed and mastered entirely analog way at Rolling Lion Studio by Daniel Boyle, who was nominated for the 2015 Grammys for his production “Back On The Controls” from Lee “Scratch” Perry and who’s currently working on the next Max Romeo LP.”
“The album features the collaboration of renowned artists on the international reggae scene, as the case of their first single “Missing You (Mi Amor)” which includes the participation of the melodious voice of Rica Newell (The Melody Makers, The Original Wailers, Stephen Marley, among others). Launched in 2014, it was the song that opens doors of highly relevant international media. In addition to the collaboration of Fitzroy “Dave Prime Time” Green of Alborosie’s Schengen Clan, virtuous Jamaican drummer who was in charge of the drums recording in the mythic Tuff Gong Studio, once property of Bob Marley himself in Kingston, Jamaica”.
“Following this pattern, “When Me Seh” features Patko, a reggae artist from France who is also promoting his latest material “Maroon”. He along with the band expressed the way in which a rastaman live with his environment. “Ganjaman” invites us to know the way in which Talawa coexists with the holy weed, with the collaboration of Mr. Amlak Tafari, bassist of the legendary band Steel Pulse, and who played along with Fitzroy Green on drums, a 100% explosive combination. “Love to Love” features Dax Lion, from Kingston, Jamaica, a mix of voices that invites to join the love within us as a necessary daily living feeling”.
“Cool & Calm” is the first song in #ReggaeRevival, with the ever present message of unity, love and positivity that Talawa seeks to express in all of their songs. It calls us to fight for everything we want, to see the horizon full of opportunities and to be able to feel that Jah bless us all everyday. “Your Love”, a prayer to the Almighty Jah, who gives us life and to whom we owe the honor of being present with our loved ones and commune with nature.
“Waiting For You”, inspired by the desire to be forever close to the person we love, expressing the feelings and the reason why this being is there… to write a story of eternal love. While True Love confirms the feeling of love to that person, and exposes the fear of losing it.
#ReggaeRevival is a heavy combination of reggae, rock and rap, with a power that convinces us that this album is elaborated work, with heavy riffs and the collaboration of Ali Amiri (Texas, U.S.A.) to end a song that make us want to continue this journey into the present past. Entering in a spiritual place in praise of Jah Rastafari, “El Amor De Jah” presents a fusion of reggae and gospel, which makes everybody’s heart vibrate to it when you pay close attention. This last song was chosen as the second single from the album, and its release was internationally well received by the family”.
#ReggaeRevival then, includes 10 original tracks, 6 dub versions of some of these tracks and a acapella as a bonus track that will definitely leave everybody with their mouths open, and exposes the incredible talent of Rica Newell. It released Sunday November 15, 2015, and is accompanied by a new website: which seeks to be the center of the band’s web operations and a more direct point of contact with fans and collaborators.
The album is available on all digital platforms on the web, such as Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, Deezer, Apple Music, YouTube and others. The physical CD copies and various album-related products may also be obtained on the new website, which has the advantage of being able to sell globally with delivery to almost all countries of the world, not to mention that it will be the only place where you can listen to the full phonogram for free and without any interruption, either accessing from a computer or mobile device.
Thank you to all of those who collaborate in the spread of our content and in the development of positive music, it is thanks to your work that the world knows about our band and projects. Blessings to all TALAWA reggae army family. | https://islandstagemag.com/talawa/ | 1,656,739,503 | null |

Is anyone else freaking out over how time flies by? Goodness, y’all, Christmas is in two little, itty bitty days!
The first post of the Blog Tour that we recently finished up, I posted this:
Here’s some pretty cool news: Each comment y’all leave on any of the CSotP Blog Tour Posts, will be entered into a drawing. Then at the end of the Tour, I’ll draw two winners who will then be able to pick any of Buddy Davis’s DVD’s or CD’s (restrictions may apply) for their prize!
I’ve decided that if any of you share info about the blog tour (including a link to one of the posts), whether it be on Google+, Facebook, your blog, twitter, or any other social media, just leave a comment saying “I tweeted this link” or whatever you did, and you’ll not only be entered into the drawing for theComments contest, but you’ll also be entered into a contest for the Sharing contest. The name that gets drawn during the Sharing contest will also get to pick any of Buddy Davis’s DVD’s or CD’s (restrictions may apply) for their prize! Of course, if you also want to leave a link to where you posted about the tour, this little author would be delighted to visit! 😉
Today I had the delightful task of going through and writing down the names of everyone who commented. With over 120 comments, that took a little while! Thankfully I had Christmas music playing in the background so it was very enjoyable. =)
By the way, thank you so very much to the sixteen bloggers who hosted me during the tour.
Y’all rock!
Over 120 comments
After I wrote all the names of the commenters down, I kept reaching in to pull out the winners, but I could hardly make myself do it! Finally, after reaching in about a dozen times (but never pulling out and looking at a name), took the box into my sister and asked her to not look in and just randomly give me two names. “What is this all about?”
“It’s for my blog.”
Well, the first name she pulled out was… Aaron Smith! He’s one of the bloggers who took part in the Tour, so that was cool.
Reaching back in she pulled out another name… Rebecca! (A girl I ‘met’ doing NaNo in 2012, since then she’s left tons of nice comments on here and even did an Author Interview!)
Then for the winner of the ‘sharing contest’, which was really hard to figure out, because hardly anyone left a comment when they shared the link. Pretty much, I just put names in of the people who I noticed shared stuff, such as on Google+ or Twitter.
And the winner was… David Mabe! I was happy to see his name drawn, because he pretty much commented on my stuff ever. single. post. And not only did he guess the true or false questions, he often commented on Facebook which was extra nice!
The winners
So, Aaron, Rebecca and David, please email me at: aidylewoh (at) gmail (dot) com and let me know which of Buddy Davis’s DVD’s or CD’s you would like. Also, if you want to leave a comment on here, I’m pretty sure the other readers would enjoy knowing what you chose! (I’ll need to hear back from you within the next few days for you to claim your prize. If I haven’t heard back from you within a week, I’ll be drawing another winner.)
Find the AiG store Here. Now, of course this is just me, and go ahead and choose anything you want, but I think his totally amazing and spectacular new CD, Songs of Life, Love and Faith and his newest and over-the-top adventurous, DVD Extreme Caving, are some of the best things out there. And I don’t mean just of ‘Buddy Davis’. I mean out of any and everything in the AiG store (which TOTALLY rocks, by the way). Oh yes, and have I mentioned that his new CD has a song about me on it? Melts my heart every time I hear it. 😉
Congratulations you guys! Thank you to everyone who took part in the tour and left a comment! The comments really make me happy.
So, what about you? What Buddy Davis CD or DVD would you chose if you could pick any of them?

I made these monoprints back at the beginning of lockdown, to open up a discussion about the side effects of antidepressant medications, based on my own personal experiences with Fluoxetine, Citalopram, and Venlafaxine. I finally got round to scanning them and doing minor Photoshop edits (a little bit of resizing).
These are not all the possible side effects of these medications and aren’t necessarily the worst, but they are some of the ones that I have struggled with the most- and some of which I didn’t actually realise were side effects of my medication until I did further research. I would potentially like to expand this into a zine for people who are considering antidepressants- often medication is forced onto patients instead of therapy or delving into the reasons why people are feeling the way they are, and in a short 10-20 minute doctors appointment we are assessed (sometimes wrongly) as having depression and are given a prescription with very little explanation as to why they are being prescribed and the affects they can have on your body and mind. I personally have found medication helpful, but I think people need to know the full facts before deciding whether or not to take something. I am also considering redoing the monoprints over the top of the paper inserts that come with the medication detailing the side effects as a development, as I see these very much as a starting point.

What do filmmakers think about it all and how to ensure the health of this dynamic, growing and creative industry?
Thursday, February 15th
2:30 – 4:30pm / Longworth House Building (LHOB 1539), 9 Independence Ave SE, Washington DC 20515
Tax Incentives for filmmakers exist at both the federal and state levels and have been credited with preventing film production from leaving the United States and stimulating the remarkable growth of independent film production. The federal tax incentive was enacted as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, Section 181 of the Internal Revenue Code. The program, which gave significant tax breaks to investors in shows shot in the U.S., came to an abrupt end on December 31, 2016 but two new incentives exist in the Tax Code for 2018. Come learn from the experts about the changes in the tax code, how this impacts film production as a job and income generating activity, how state taxes compare to/intersect with federal taxes and the financial health of independent filmmaking in the US.
Panelists:
Jack Gerbes, Film Commissioner, State of Maryland
Emily Hunter Salveson, CEO, Streamline Global Group
Hal Kessler, Entertainment Attorney, partner, Olsen and Cepuritis, Ltd
Carletta S. Hurt, President, Women in Film and Video
Doug Maddox, producer and founder DBM Communications, Inc.
What is The Summit On The Hill?
What does Congress have to do with the art of independent film? A good question and one we address at the nexus of art and law. Washington DC. Filmmakers in the United States work within and around a body of regulation bearing on the art and artists. In cooperation with the Congressional Entertainment Industries Caucus, we welcome filmmakers and the public to an open discussion with experts and lawmakers about these developments. From issues directly effecting taxation to technology to intellectual property, we are in a unique position to organize and convene this annual event. | https://dciff-indie.org/2018-on-the-hill-summit/ | 1,656,384,235 | 1,656,384,235 |
Because of its outstanding characteristics, concrete is one of the most extensively utilized construction materials. Concrete, on the other hand, must be poured into a specifically built mold in order to be used to make architectural parts. This is referred to as formwork or shuttering. As one of the formwork companies Sydney features, it’s imperative that you understand the different types of concrete structures.
Formwork can employ either temporary or permanent molds to keep the poured concrete in form until it cures and becomes strong enough to sustain itself. Formwork can be characterized in a variety of ways:
Type of material used
By the concrete element supported
Removable or permanent
Formwork is essential in concrete building. It must be strong enough to withstand all of the loads present during casting processes and then keep its shape as the concrete solidifies.
Which Are the Requirements for Good Formwork?
Although there are many formwork materials, the following are general performance features to meet the needs of concrete construction:
Capable of withstanding dead and live loads.
Retaining its shape with adequate props and braces.
Joints must be leak-proof.
If formwork is removable, the process must not damage the concrete.
Reusable material.
As lightweight as possible.
The formwork material should not warp or distort.
When choosing formwork, keep the kind of concrete and the pouring temperature in mind, since both impact the pressure exerted. Formwork must also be able to withstand loads of wet and dry concrete.
Formwork necessitates the use of structures such as poles and stabilizers to prevent movement during building operations, which is referred to as falsework. A skilled crew and proper supervision are required to achieve good quality while working with concrete. In this regard, you should hire one of the best formwork companies Sydney has to offer.
The following sections provide an overview of some common formwork materials.
Timber Formwork
Timber formwork was one of the original forms of formwork employed in the construction business. It is the most adaptable variety and is erected on-site, providing the following benefits:
Easy to produce and remove
Lightweight, especially when compared with metallic formwork
Workable, allowing any shape, size and height
Economical in small projects
Allows the use of local timber
However, before utilizing lumber, its condition must be thoroughly examined to ensure that it is free of termites. Timber formwork also has two drawbacks that must be considered: it has a short life period and takes a long time to install in large projects. Timber formwork is often preferred when labor costs are minimal or when intricate concrete portions necessitate flexible formwork.
Plywood Formwork
Plywood is frequently used in conjunction with lumber. It is a produced hardwood substance that comes in a variety of sizes and thicknesses. It is primarily utilized in formwork applications for sheathing, decking, and form linings.
Plywood formwork has the same features as timber formwork, such as strength, durability, and lightweight.
Metallic Formwork: Steel and Aluminum
Steel formwork is becoming more popular due to its extended service life and ability to be reused several times. Steel formwork, though expensive, is beneficial for several projects and is a reasonable solution when numerous possibilities for reuse are anticipated.
The following are some of the main features of steel formwork:
Strong and durable, with a long lifespan
Creates a smooth finish on concrete surfaces
Waterproof
Reduces honeycombing effect in concrete
Easily installed and dismantled
Suitable for curved structures
Steel formwork and aluminum formwork are extremely comparable. The primary distinction is that aluminum has a lower density than steel, making formwork lighter. Aluminum also has a lesser strength than steel, which must be taken into account when employing it.
Plastic Formwork
This style of formwork is composed of lightweight and durable plastic and is made up of interlocking panels or modular systems. Plastic formwork is best suited for modest projects with repeated operations, such as low-cost housing developments.
Plastic formwork is lightweight and easily cleaned with water, making it ideal for big portions and several reuses. Its biggest disadvantage is that it is less flexible than lumber because many components are prefabricated.
Fabric Formwork
Fabric formwork, also known as flexible formwork, is a type of formwork that is made of fabric. This technique employs lightweight, high-strength fabric sheets that are meant to adapt to the fluidity of concrete and produce fascinating architectural shapes.
This style of formwork requires less concrete than rigid systems, resulting in cost savings. It is a new technology in the shuttering business that is well suited for irregular and complicated designs.
Stay-In-Place Formwork
This formwork is intended to stay in place after the concrete has hardened, functioning as axial and shear reinforcement. This formwork is constructed on-site using prefabricated, fiber-reinforced plastic forms. It is mostly utilized in piers and columns, and it also resists corrosion and other sorts of environmental degradation.
Coffor is another sort of stay-in-place formwork that may be utilized in any sort of building:
It is composed of two filtering grids, reinforced by stiffeners and linked with articulated connectors.
Thanks to its construction, it can be easily transported from a factory to the point of use.
Permanent Insulated Formwork
This is one of the most sophisticated formwork systems, with permanent insulation. It may also have thermal, acoustic, fire, and rodent resistant qualities. The most popular type of permanent insulated formwork is insulating concrete forms (ICF), in which concrete structures are insulated with polystyrene boards that remain in place after the concrete has dried.
Permanent insulated formwork provides energy efficiency and sustainability, helping to reduce the environmental effect of the building industry.
Classifying Formwork Based on Structural Components
Formwork can be classed not only by material, but also by the construction elements that it supports:
Wall formwork
Beam formwork
Foundation formwork
Column formwork
All formwork types are designed to sustain the structure they support, and the materials and needed thickness are specified in the associated building plans. It is vital to remember that formwork building takes time and might account for 20 to 25% of structural expenditures. Consider the following suggestions to reduce the cost of formwork:
To allow for formwork reuse, building layouts should reuse as many architectural elements and geometries as feasible.
When dealing with wooden formwork, it should be chopped into big enough pieces to be reused.
The design and purpose of concrete constructions differ. As with other project selections, no choice is superior to the others for all purposes; the best formwork for your project will vary based on building design.
Final thoughts
With what you just read, you should be able to understand the different types of formwork. This is especially beneficial if you’re running a formwork business and need it to rank as ome of the top-rated formwork companies Sydney has to offer.

Our Freedom Statement on Johnson Amendment Repeal
On Thursday, February 2, 2017, at the National Prayer Breakfast, newly elected President Donald J. Trump stated that he would “totally destroy” the Johnson Amendment. This amendment, authored by Senator Lyndon B. Johnson, was an amendment to H.R. 8300 which was a bill in the 83rd Congress. It became part of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 without discussion or debate. During the Ronald Reagan administration, it was included in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
The Johnson Amendment affects all 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations in that it prohibits those organizations from endorsing or opposing political candidates. Such organizations include churches, universities, and charitable foundations. Immediately after the President’s statement, legislators in the House of Representatives Jody Hice (R) and Steve Scalise (R) put forth bills which would allow these organizations to remain tax-exempt and to express political views under two provisions: first, the political views expressed would have to be made during regular activities and second, associated spending would have to be minimal.
Our Freedom: A Pagan Civil Rights Coalition consists of leaders and liaisons of national Pagan organizations and publications in America. As a Constitutionally protected group of minority religions, we are particularly concerned with issues of church and state.
The leaders herein undersigned oppose any effort to rescind, reverse, and/or repeal the Johnson Amendment. Since 1954 it has been a bulwark in the tax code where it has reinforced both the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. Should this amendment be, as expressed by President Trump, “totally destroyed,” it is the belief of Our Freedom that this nation will begin traversing a path toward the establishment of Christianity as the official and preferred religion of the state. This would be in express contravention to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and over two centuries of established Constitutional law
Therefore, we, the undersigned, express and affirm our support for the Johnson Amendment.

Pagan Coalition Stands Against Victimization
We the undersigned are adherents of Pagan and Neo-Pagan Religions, including Wicca, Neo-Pagan Witchcraft, Druidism, Asatru and other indigenous Earth Religions, who practice a variety of positive, life-affirming faiths that are dedicated to healing, both of ourselves and of the Earth. We do not advocate or condone any acts that victimize others, including those proscribed by law.
We absolutely condemn the practices of child abuse, sexual abuse, and any other form of abuse that does harm to the bodies, minds or spirits of individuals. We offer prayers, therapy, and support for the healing of the victims of such abuses.
In recent years the victimization of children has been brought to light in a manner not seen in the past. Efforts are underway in schools and other youth organizations to teach children and adults to be aware of and respond proactively to violence against others.
Examples of victimization have also come to light in religious circles and many victims’ rights groups have emerged to advocate for and support those who were abused as children.
We stand strongly against the victimization of children, students, women and men. We call for persons who have witnessed such atrocities to speak up and actively seek to protect the powerless and prevent further abuse. | http://ourfreedomcoalition.org/author/domainscovert-com-au/ | 1,656,366,231 | null |
"When our company, Pension Consulting Alliance Inc., signed with TPI Pay, I knew it was a good fit. TPI delivered and met all our needs plus more. What I did not anticipate was the amount of "fun," yes "fun,” it would be working with the TPI Pay team. We instantaneously connected and our relationship has grown and blossomed into a genuine working relationship. PCA is located on the West Coast; yet, with every phone call to TPI Pay I feel like I am next door and could run across the street to deliver a spreadsheet!!! It is our good fortune to have landed our feet with such an enterprising company.”
Michele J. Gall, Splash Management Group
"I have been processing payroll for the last 17 years. We have tried all different payroll companies looking for the one that would fit our needs. In 2011 we found Andy Aziz, with TPI and needless to say, we won’t be looking for anyone else to process our payroll. It’s amazing how you can pick the phone up and talk to Andy, the Vice President, without having to go through many channels. From day one, TPI has been very professional and efficient; yet this company has the feel of a Mom & Pop business. Their staff, especially my payroll specialist Maria, has been understanding and patient. No matter how busy she is, she never once has given me the feeling that I am annoying her with my questions or requests. I know positive changes in the future with TPI software will make my job more efficient and I look forward to continuing our working relationship with them.”
Sarah Sirry, HR Director and General Manager, Planet Fitness Health Club
"We have been using TPI, and not only do they always provide excellent one-on-one service, but also work to come up with solutions that will save our company money. We have been able to use insurance services and background check services that TPI has offered to find solutions that work well for our 8 companies. The time and attendance software is easy to use and a great resource to save time and money. The online software used to enter the payroll has exceeded our expectations and makes the entry of payroll for approximately 150 personnel in different departments as efficient as possible. We would not consider changing to another payroll company!" | https://www.tpipay.com/testimonials/ | 1,656,969,086 | null |
To save money, the state dictated that school board elections move from June to November this year. Troubled times create candidates, and after three years of double-digit state funding cuts, these are troubled times indeed for the Ann Arbor School District. After eight years of very lightly contested elections, six nonpartisan candidates are competing for two open seats on the seven-person board.
The diverse roster of candidates includes a pastor, a Pakistani-born educator, a recent U-M grad, a retired health care administrator, a current auto parts manufacturer, and a consultant to the National Wildlife Association. Each has a different cure for what ails the district’s budget. Here they are in alphabetical order.
—
“You can’t separate the Bible and prayer from school,” says challenger Albert Howard, forty-five, “and you can’t solve a spiritual problem with physical solutions. If you get parents tithing, the budget would balance and the schools would have no debt.”
For proof, the senior pastor of the Ann Arbor Different Church cites Paul–“God gives seed to the sower and He multiplies all seed sown”–and Mark–“There is no man … but he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time.”
“For every dollar invested into the Kingdom, God puts at least one hundred dollars into our heavenly account,” says Howard, the father of eight children in the district. “Once you have approximately calculated your tithes and offerings, you are ready to ask the Holy Spirit how He wants you to use that money.” Once that money pours in, he emails, “The Body of Christ (local church) would pay off the debt of the Ann Arbor Public Schools with no strings attached.”
Challenger Ahmar Iqbal, forty-two, says the cure is to “prioritize the budget by cutting wasteful spending and calling for competitive bidding.” With a background in finance and public policy, including degrees from U-M and Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, and his years as an educator at American University in Pakistan, Iqbal believes the district needs to hire more teachers. “The class size is out of hand. There are classes of thirty-seven students.”
The father of two children in the district who currently works as an energy consultant, Iqbal also recommends that the district adopt “a longer school year with less holidays and longer school days. And every child should be multilingual from day one.”
To achieve these goals, Iqbal says, “We should be in Lansing [lobbying for more money]. We’re the fifth-largest school district in the state, and we all need more teachers.”
Patrick Leonard, the youngest candidate at twenty-two, is a graduate of Ann Arbor schools–Lawton, Slauson, and Pioneer–and of U-M, where he was part of the student government and volunteered as a mentor for at-risk third-grade students. “I saw the disparities passed on year after year,” says Leonard (no relation to the writer of this article). “Reducing the [black-white] achievement gap is my main issue. It’s a long-term problem, and we’re not doing as much as we could.
“It’s all about parental involvement,” Leonard continues. “When I helped kids with math, it was hard enough for me, and even harder for the parents. We have to embrace the parents who are coming to school.”
As for the budget, Leonard, the son and brother of Ann Arbor teachers–says the district should “reduce overhead and hire more teachers.” Asked why him, Leonard replies, “I’m young, I have passion, and I love the community and the school district.”
Incumbent Simone Lightfoot, forty-four, went to Tappan, Clague, Huron, and WCC, and is working on a bachelor’s degree at EMU. Currently a consultant with the National Wildlife Association and the NAACP, she was appointed to the board in 2009. “I love the work of the school district,” says the mother of two children in the district, “and I’ve been involved as a student, a parent, and a decision maker.”
To balance the budget, Lightfoot says, “We have to do some creative thinking. We have to maximize our assets plus seek contributions from corporations and partnerships with the U-M. And we’ve got to enlist our parents. We have some of the smartest and most committed parents in this school district.”
As for the achievement gap, says Lightfoot, “We first have to admit we have one, and the board hasn’t done that in the past without a caveat. We have to own it–then we can work together to solve it.”
Challenger Larry Murphy, forty-nine, believes his business experience–a U-M MBA, seven years at Ford, and fourteen years as an auto-parts manufacturer–makes him the logical candidate to help fix the budget. “If you keep overhead low, you can handle ups and downs even in a recession.
“I have very specific suggestions,” says the father of two sons in the district. “I would put a freeze on hiring for administration unless they take it before the board.” He also questions the need for six high schools. “Maybe we could get Ann Arbor Tech enfolded into other high schools to save on overhead.”
Murphy says the incumbents are “doing an okay job, but I can really help. I’m an independent thinker, and there’s a need for someone like me.”
Andy Thomas, sixty-one, a retired health-care administrator, was appointed to the board in May 2010 and is currently its secretary. “The funding crisis is the overriding issue, but it’s not really what school should be about,” says the widowed father of a son in the schools. “We’re here to provide a quality education to all students. The approach so far has been to cut fat, but now we have to look at other sources of revenue.” This requires “another try at an education millage. We need to bring more money into the district.”
Thomas believes he can be particularly useful to the board because “there’s a widespread feeling that education needs to be defunded in Lansing. My experience with health care, my background working with PTO and education foundations, and my record on the board of reaching consensus makes me the right choice.”
—
Whichever two candidates voters select, school board president Deb Mexicotte is optimistic about the results. “If new people make it on, and some of them are more conservative, so what? There’s two of them, and they still have to convince the rest of the people on the board. And besides, bringing in new voices is not at all a bad thing.” | https://annarborobserver.com/two-seats-six-candidates/ | 1,657,182,803 | null |

I have renamed the Category Gods as Deities. I think its a broader category that better fits many of the characters from polytheistic traditions, and also avoids the naming confusion of gods and God. Some entrants in this category are obviously open to dispute. Eve I've included due to her ascendancy over supernatural beings, and Atropos because in Roman mythology the Fates were known as deities and feared by the Greek gods. Happy to take comments on it though. --Missyjack 13:17, 18 April 2011 (UTC) Super Wiki Admin
I completely agree with the name change. Since there are god-like beings (mostly pagan) that are not always seen as gods (eg. Tricksters are rarely seen as gods, Loki is sort of an exception there). There are higher spirits etc., deity is a perfect generic term. Scyllaya 16:07 19 April 2011
I wasn't sure how to contribute my opinion so i'm sorry if this is the wrong place to do so. I think two more gods should be added to the list of deities they being Babylonian god Tiamat from S4E8 and the Greek goddess Harmonia from S7E13. | http://supernaturalwiki.com/Category_talk:Deities | 1,657,025,371 | 1,529,900,470 |

Embedded systems that leverage the latest deep learning technology for edge computing include rugged, small form factor high performance computing devices.
The industry might be seeing a shifting demand for Small Form Factor (SFF) products vs board-level products, for several reasons. Small form factor modules are not only driven by smaller components size, but also by the market. For example, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), autonomous vehicles, small robots, and many other applications benefit from small devices that can control them. As embedded system size continues to shrink dramatically, having advanced functionality located directly on a vehicle is becoming the expected norm.
Such applications are where Artificial Intelligence (AI) and system-on-modules (SoMs) are beginning to expand, thanks to AI’s ability to transform vast amounts into learned intelligence. Deep-learning is a subclass of AI that uses Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Multi-layered ANNs can assist human activity by accurately performing repetitive tasks like object recognition using machine vision, speech recognition/translation, filtering content on social networks, assisting in medical diagnosis, and many others. Over the past decade, the speed and performance of processors have increased rapidly.
Figure 1: Floating point operations per second for CPUs vs. GPUs (Image: CUDA C Programming Guide ToolKit Documentation).
SFFs handle enhanced processing
A chip with 1 TFLOPS performance can perform a trillion floating point operations every second, or FLOPS. (FLOPS means “FLoating point OPerations per Second.) Not very long ago, if you wanted to get a computer with 1 TFLOPS performance, you needed a large, high-power enclosure the size of a small car with multiple, multi-core general CPU (Central Processing Unit) processors. Extreme High-Performance Computing (HPC) is now measured in petaflops, or one quadrillion operations per second.
CPUs and General Purpose Graphical Processing Units (GPGPUs) offer similar benefits. However, the GPGPUs can perform the same data and matrix math computations much faster than CPUs. (CPUs, on the other hand, can work with changing processes and algorithms that do not repeat the same operations on different data, which is what GPGPUs do very well.)
Figure 2: Aitech’s A176 Cyclone, A177 Twister fanless GPGPU supercomputers in a small form factor meant for defense and industrial high-performance computing in an AI context. (Images: Aitech)
The benefits of HPC are moving down from high-performing, cloud-based servers to independent or partially independent supercomputers that are so advantageous in the embedded world. The term GPGPU signifies the expansion of the GPU from graphics rendering applications to AI applications and markets, including security, surveillance, industrial automation, aerospace equipment and systems, boating, and marine industries.
Benefits of embedded GPGPU technology
Figure 3: Emil Kheyfets is Director of Military and Aerospace Product Line for Aitech.
Industrial and Mil-Aerospace markets are continually working to optimize products with attention to SFF and Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) enhanced systems. GPGPU systems for the above industries are ideal for AI applications. Companies are combining the benefits of deep learning technology with the SFFs required in the embedded systems of the markets mentioned above. Aitech is one company that integrates AI capabilities into rugged computers intended to bring AI to applications that may or may not have access to the cloud. Embedded systems that are leveraging the latest deep learning technology with a modular, small form factor include the A176 (Cyclone) and A177 (Twister) fanless GPGPU supercomputers, for military and rugged industrial applications, Emil Kheyfets, Director of Military and Aerospace Products at Aitech confirms the trend. “Providing high performance AI capabilities in a small form factor is benefitting multiple applications where small size and low power are critical requirements.”
He continues, “Take our NVIDIA Jetson TX2-based rugged A176 units for defense and aerospace and the recently added A177 for industrial applications, for example. Both are SFF GPGPU supercomputers, measuring around 52 cubic inches, that contain a six-core ARM processor and a GPGPU with 256 CUDA cores, while supporting more than 1 TFLOPS performance with a maximum power of less than 17 watts.”
Designed for harsh military operations, the A176 has an overall size of just 5.0” x 5.1” x 2.05” and weighs less than 2.2 lbs. The slightly bigger A177, with the same weight and a 5.9” x 5.8” x 2.5” size, is intended for less rugged, industrial applications.
In both, the Jetson TX2 SoM is integrated on a carrier card, which includes a rugged power supply and various auxiliary functionality as well as provides I/O expansion capability. Units are delivered with Linux OS pre-installed, and a Quick Start Guide and mating cables kits with industry standard connectors are available. Users can concentrate on software development in the lab, instead of going through system integration process/issues, and be up and running in a short period of time.
As processing demands increase, SFF systems using GPGPU technology and AI-based solutions are providing a path to next generation embedded systems that are poised to tackle the growing field of mobile, unmanned and autonomous vehicle technologies, bringing computing power to areas never-before conceivable.

Jim Oliver of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, was the former editor of the Albert Lea Tribune from 1970 to 1985.
Events of recent weeks have shown that the management of the Mayo Clinic had no clue as to the powerful bond that exists between the medical facility once known as Naeve Hospital and the widespread community it has served for so many years.
jim Oliver
Despite its well-deserved reputation as the deliverer of high-quality health care, the arrogance of Mayo has been evident for many years. However, the inexcusable announcement by news release that it intends to eliminate in-patient services in the since re-named Albert Lea hospital reached new heights of insensitivity.
I moved to Albert Lea in January of 1966. One of my early assignments as a rookie reporter for the Albert Lea Tribune was to tag along with then editor Stan Carlson to take pictures at a community meeting at the Albert Lea High School Auditorium involving Naeve Hospital.
As I recall, the meeting was called because of what many community leaders called a lack of information coming to the public from the Naeve board of trustees. The argument was that while Naeve was a private nonprofit organization, it was considered by many as a “quasi-public” entity. In addition to a large crowd, the meeting was attended by many, if not all, of the members of the board of trustees, who made themselves available to answer questions. As I recall, there were also members of the medical staff present.
The eventual result of the meeting was that the trustees began holding a monthly press conference on the morning after the trustees meeting to report what actions it had taken. Those conferences were usually attended by Al Carstens of KATE Radio, a couple of reporters from Austin broadcast stations and me.
A few years later, the board made what at the time was a controversial decision. Someone presented the idea that the name “Naeve” was confusing because some may have thought it was a military facility as the name was pronounced “navy.” Opposition inspired another public meeting in the high school auditorium. Again, it drew a pretty big crowd and many, if not all, of the trustees. As a result of the opposition, the trustees reversed the decision, and the Naeve name was retained.
While the community kept a close eye on the board of trustees and let them know when a decision was not popular, the public responded to raise money for a new hospital in the early 1970s when the old outdated facility was threatened with the loss of accreditation.
My family and I moved from Albert Lea in 1985. I wasn’t able to keep track of happenings there until the birth of the internet enabled me to check the Albert Lea Tribune webpage each day. I was surprised to learn that at some point during the 1990s, the hospital’s name was changed from “Naeve.” But nothing shocked me as much as the recent announcement that the Lords of Mayo were ending inpatient services at the Albert Lea hospital and moving them to Austin.
So, why do I care? I am retired and now live in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. My visits to Albert Lea are rare although I try to stay in touch with old friends.
As I indicated, my relationship with Naeve Hospital began early in my life in Albert Lea. In addition to hospital stories for the Tribune, I covered activities at the Naeve School of Nursing until it closed.
I contributed financially to the capital fund drive for the new hospital. When it was completed, I was among the people who led tours through the facility during dedication activities. And, I am proud to say I was invited to be one of the first male members of the Naeve Hospital Auxiliary and spent many Saturday evenings staffing the information desk.
This is a long way of getting around to saying how proud I am to hear about the reaction of the community to Mayo Clinic’s insensitive move to downgrade health care in southern Minnesota and northern Iowa.

CNBC’s Jim Cramer said on Friday he sees the sell-off in Disney as a buying opportunity for investors.
Shares of the media and entertainment giant fell 6.94% to hit a fresh 52-week low during the session. However, the “Bad Money” Host said he won’t shy away from the stock because its sharp decline seemed linked to it Netflix‘s prognosis of Subscriber growth slowdown.
Netflix’s outlook — offered Thursday night when the company reported its earnings — spooked investors, and the company’s shares plunged 21.8% on Friday.
“I want to own the stocks of longtime, great Americans who have fallen into a guilt fiasco, and that’s exactly what happened to Disney stock today,” Cramer said, while noting that he was prevented from adding to his shares Charitable Trust on Friday changed Disney’s position after mentioning the stock on morning TV. Cramer’s ethics policy is that he waits 72 hours before executing a trade in any stock that he discusses on CNBC’s television programs.
Cramer’s trust Bought back from Disney in September, about three months after leaving his position entirely for the first time in 16 years. Confidence was added to the stock end of November and then back in December.
Cramer admitted on Friday that he was “too early” at Disney, alluding to the fact that the stock is trading lower than when the trust made its purchases.
“But it’s time to mix speculative stories with investment-grade stories. A lot of the stocks wiped out here belong to companies that don’t have much in the way of earnings, companies that trade mostly on hype or hope,” Cramer said.
He said he sees a number of speculative assets — including cryptocurrencies and stocks that went public through a reverse merger with a special purpose vehicle — that deserve to fight now as Wall Street braces for likely Federal Reserve rate hikes .
“But you can’t just extrapolate the weakness of a company that’s done very well, Netflix, with a whole bunch of other big brand name companies that make amazing products and make good revenue, like Disney,” Cramer said.
“I’m not saying Netflix isn’t worth owning. At a certain price, it sure will,” he added. “What I’m saying is that there are a lot of quality companies that are in distress because of Netflix today, and these were the best ones to buy.” | https://wearethenationnews.com/tag/slid/ | 1,656,696,735 | null |

A Disney cruise combines the magic of a Walt Disney resort vacation with the romance of a sea voyage. Reminiscent of classic ocean liners, Disney vessels have two stacks and interiors that follow an Art Deco/Art Nouveau theme. Whimsical accents cleverly incorporate the images of Mickey Mouse and his friends and opportunities are offered for junior cruisers to interact with their favorite “live” Disney characters.
Special Features
A unique dining experience, passengers and their waiters rotate through the three main dining rooms in two assigned seatings. An adults-only restaurant serving Northern Italian cuisine is available for a romantic night out and requires reservations.
Designed to accommodate families, Disney ships have some of the most spacious staterooms at sea and most have a unique bath-and-a-half arrangement and sitting area.
On board entertainment features Disney themes and characters. No one would be surprised to learn that a cruise line from Disney would be a great family vacation. What you might be surprised to learn is that these ships are as elegantly appointed as any at sea! You may also be surprised to learn that Disney does not forget about its adult passengers either. The Disney ships each have three distinct sections: One for kids, another for families and yet another for adults only. So, even if you don't have kids, you can enjoy a Disney cruise! Disney also offers an adult only dining experience in its Paolo Restaurant. This quiet, elegant, Italian-theme restaurant serves some of the best food at sea for a nominal service charge. Other restaurants on board offer more traditional cruise fare. We found all of them to be good. While the entertainment on board is decidedly Disney, it is professional, energetic and worth going to. There is also an adult-only comedy club and dancing but no casino. Of course, if you are cruising with kids, Disney is unbeatable. With several areas on the ship dedicated to "Kids Only - No Adults Allowed", your kids will have a blast with their supervised activities.
Disney's private Bahamian island, Castaway Cay, is a jewel with its own pier for convenient dockside debarkation. Ashore there are a host of activities dedicated for guests of all ages, including an adults-only beach with massage cabanas.
Recommended For
Families with children or grandchildren of all ages. But, like the Disney parks themselves, the new line has designed its cruises to appeal to adults without children too. It's a Disney product for kids of all ages.
Highlights:
Outstanding Disney entertainment
Distinctive dining experiences
Hundreds of balcony cabins
Venetian glass and marble lobby
Hercules Muse-ical Comedy Production
Karaoke and trivia contests
First-run and classic Disney movies

Junior Cruisers
As you would expect, Disney ships are a floating Never-Never Land with something to pique every child's imagination. Over 13,000 square feet—nearly an entire deck—is devoted to children's entertainment centers, outdoor activity areas, and swimming pools. Age appropriate activities are scheduled for ages 3 (toilet training required) and 4; ages 5 to 7; ages 8 and 9; and 10 through 12. Complimentary supervised children's programs and activities are available on the ship from 9:00 a.m. to midnight for children ages 3-12. Subject to availability, group babysitting for children 12-weeks old and up is available for a fee. Teenagers have their own coffee house complete with music, games, a large-screen television, and an Internet Cafe.

Part of a larger Multi Academy Trust, the school caters for pupils with a range of Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties from primary age to Key Stage 3 - it is a unique place where pupils are nurtured and developed to encourage independence and skills for life, and their social, emotional and mental health needs are at the forefront of our work.
Due to the complex nature of our pupils, high levels of emotional and physical resilience are needed in dealing with challenging behaviour. However, the knowledge that our work is making a positive impact in helping the young people to grow and work towards independence brings great reward.
The school are now looking to recruit an experienced and highly motivated teacher of ICT for Key Stage 3 pupils at their Upper School site. The successful applicant will be someone who seeks to deliver ICT lessons in an inclusive, relevant and engaging way so that all pupils achieve in the subject.

For the second time, a northern Ontario police service has seen it fit to charge an accused drug trafficker with manslaughter after someone died of an opioid overdose.
The charge was laid this week by the Temiskaming Shores detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police and we could be seeing more of this.
A manslaughter charge being laid following an opioid related overdose death is a relatively new weapon for police and the courts, as they try to cope with the opioid epidemic.
“They're knowingly selling these drugs to people, knowing that the possibility of death is there. So they need to be held accountable for their actions.” said Shona Camirand, an acting sergeant for Ontario Provincial Police.
Pat Cliche from the North Bay & Area Drug Strategy Committee thinks drug dealers should have some responsibility over the products they are selling.
“If you've killed somebody from what you sold them, maybe you do need to be charged with manslaughter or even first-degree murder.” said Cliche.
OPP say when it comes to opioid related deaths, although it can be difficult to link where a batch of drugs comes from, drug dealers will be charged.
“The province is starting to take notice of the opioids and the opp is taking notice as well and these drug dealers need to be held accountable.” said Camirand.
“Enough is enough. Maybe that's the only way we're going to be able to deal with this issue in our community, because it's getting worse, it's not getting better. It's getting worse.” said Cliche. | https://northernontario.ctvnews.ca/holding-drug-dealers-accountable-for-opioid-deaths-1.4443745 | 1,657,138,671 | null |
Summary of the proposal: Massive hot stars can intensively illuminate giant molecular clouds, provoking their ionization and photo-evaporation. These ablation fronts are difficult to model but can be studied in laboratory. Here, we propose to generate a highly radiative shock in a gas cell that will interact with dense matter. The strong radiative flux generated by a high velocity radiative shock mimicking the nearby hot star will interact with a ball or microballoon to simulate the molecular cloud.
We have produced many radiative shocks driven by high-power lasers using our original gas-cell target. As a result, we understand radiative precursor formation. Preparatory experiments on the Gekko laser have produced the interaction of a radiative precursor with an obstacle. Further preparatory experiments will use the Nano2000 laser or ORION, with a combination of optical and x-ray diagnostics, to deeply investigate the interaction zone before any LMJ shots.
We propose to use LMJ to observe the influence of radiation on the obstacle in a highly radiative regime not achieved on any previous experiments. These experiments will initiate a program for astrophysical relevant radiation hydrodynamics on LMJ/Petal. | https://www.asso-alp.fr/the-science/experiences/4-interacting-radiative-shock-an-opportunity-to-study-astrophysical-objects-in-the-laboratory/ | 1,657,144,680 | null |

So I've decided to make a hedgehog costume. "Why?" you might ask. First off because hedgehogs are just so dang cute! Also, by working on this costume side project I will be able to explore many of the materials frequently used at work that I am less familiar with. This project is a mean of exploring and practicing some new (and some out-of-practice...ahem) costuming techniques. | https://daniellehurley.blogspot.com/2012/05/hedgehogs-rule.html | 1,656,433,281 | 1,656,347,250 |
New Delhi : With no concrete reason behind the suicide of 11 people of a family in Burari death case, the Delhi Police is now suspecting the hand of a mysterious tantric Gada Baba. It has been learned that the family - to which all the deceased belonged - were under influence of a self-styled, who practiced some banyan tree occult.
A manhunt for the Gada Baba has also been launched. It is believed that the tantric may had brainwashed the family for committing suicide. The suspense on the baba gets stronger as his activity resembles to the one mentioned in the diary received by the Delhi Police.
It has references saying that the dead bodies should resemble the prop roots (stranglers) of a banyan tree. The handwritten notes call this "badh tapasya" saying that doing this would "make God happy". Ten of the 11 dead bodies were found hanging from an iron mesh in the house.
According to a media report, Lalit Bhatia had special belief on the tantric, after he had helped him in restoring the voice of his son.
Incidentally, the post-mortem report indicates that 45-year-old Lalit Bhatia and his 42-year-old wife Tina were the last to die. Their 15-year-old son Shivam was also among those found dead.
The diary or the notes recovered from the houses are said to have been written by Lalit Bhatia in his own handwriting. At one point the notes say that "the human body is temporary and one can overcome fear by covering their eyes and mouth". | https://www.newsheads.in/india/news/burari-death-case-mysterious-tantric-gada-baba-on-delhi-police-radar-article-16257 | 1,657,023,844 | null |

A recent EDUCAUSE survey of students and faculty revealed some interesting data about our collective efforts to raise student and faculty awareness about cybersecurity. Similar to our findings in 2017, few students (13%) told us that their institution provides mandatory or optional information security training. Of the 13% of students who said that their institution provides security training, about a third (35%) indicated that they had participated in the training within the last 12 months. This means that of the total number of 40,596 students surveyed, only 4% had received information security training (whether their institution offers it or not). More than half (57%) of students reported they don’t know if security training is provided. A third of the students told us that no training is provided.
Slightly more than half (51%) of faculty reported this year that they do not know whether security training is conducted at their institution. Faculty at larger, more complex institutions—master’s (57%) and doctoral (52%)—reported that they do not know if security training is provided as compared to associate faculty (43%) or bachelor’s faculty (45%).
The More You Know
ETRAC’s findings this year suggest that if higher education IT departments can get students and faculty into seats for cybersecurity training sessions, then information security awareness training will be of benefit. Of the students who attended their institution’s information security training, 88% told us that it was at least moderately useful, and 45% reported that it was very or extremely useful. When faculty attended their institution’s security training, 83% found it to be at least moderately useful, and very few faculty (17%) found it to be not at all useful or not very useful. This bodes well for ensuring that attendees put information security education into action. If sessions are found to be relevant or useful to their current jobs, attendees are likely to apply what they’ve learned.
If You Build It . . .
Cybersecurity is no Field of Dreams. Simply building an information security awareness program does not guarantee that users will be aware that the program exists. Higher education cybersecurity programs have matured, and the content reflects the cybersecurity threats students and faculty are facing. As cybersecurity professionals, we need to “meet them where they are”(1) by understanding faculty and student perspectives on security. Raising awareness of our programs requires us to engage students and faculty in the classroom and online. If we build effective well-rooted(2) programs, we know that students and faculty will benefit, and they will come.
Here at Millersville, we have offered Cyber Security Awareness Training to both students as well as faculty/staff since 2017. Over the years there has been a steady amount of individuals taking part in the annual training. MU has offered the training on a voluntary basis since the beginning. Each year participants are asked to take 4 modules. One module is a 30 minute all inclusive training encompassing different cyber threats and how to combat them. The remaining modules usually are much shorter and dive deeper in to additional topics. Topics have included phishing red flags, remote work, public wifi, traveling, and more. Over the past years and including Fall 2020 NCSAM approximately 12% of the population asked to complete the trainings has done so during the time allocated. If you dive in and look at the just the 30 minute module that percentage averages to be 15%. Below you will find some graphs representing this years participation rates.
There is still plenty of time to take part in the Fall 2020 Security Awareness Training. Even though October is nearly over, you can still enjoy your pumpkin spice latte while taking your awareness training until November 20, 2020. If you have already taken the training THANK YOU!! Here is your opportunity to encourage colleagues and teammates to take the training. Awareness is power, with it we can help protect our digital lives both at home and at work. You can navigate to to take part in the training.
Lastly, today, October 28th from 1:30pm – 2:30pm, members of IT will be available in a Teams Live Event for a IT Town Hall talking about Cyber Security principles and talking about how IT is keeping out the bad guys and protecting MU resources, information, and intellectual property. Come with your questions around information security and topics that were covered during Cyber Security Awareness Month.
Here is the link to the event –
You can always email us at [email protected] if you you have any further questions or concerns about cyber security here at MU.

You keep your anti-virus software up-to-date. You always look for the lock icon in the address bar of your browser. You don't share your passwords. You remember not to access your bank account from public wifi hotspots. You've talked with your kids about 5 ThingsYour Children Should Know about Computer Security.
You're safe right?
Sadly, no. The steadily growing number of major data breaches means that in spite of your best efforts, the bad guys have found a way to gain access to information about you that they can use to steal from you, ruin your reputation and credit, and/or make your life miserable. Recent examples include:
110 million - Target Stores. Bad guys stole 40 million credit and debit card numbers, plus full names, addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers for 70 million customers.
102 million - Sony Online Entertainment. Bad guys stole PlayStation Network login credentials, names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses.
80 million - Anthem. Bad guys stole names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and employment histories.
56 million - Home Depot. Attackers got away with credit and debit card information.
What can they do with this information?
With credit/debit card information, they can clone your card and make in-store purchases, or simply use it to make online purchases until you or the card issuer identifies a purchase as fraudulent. The good news is that under Federal law (technically, the Fair Credit Billing Act), a card owner's credit card liability is limited to $50. Debit/ATM card liability is covered under a different Federal law (the Electronic Funds Transfer Act), and is a function of how long you wait to report the the loss. (Don't wait). Losses on debit cards also require you to fight to get your money back, unlike credit cards.
The greater risk is when your Social Security number has also been stolen. This information, combined with your name, address, and birthdate, is in many cases enough to steal your identity. Because with this information, someone can open new credit accounts in your name, and roll up debts that you will be responsible for, until you can prove otherwise.
And it's not just you. What about your children? Odds are, they have pristine credit histories, ripe for theft. NBC News reported that millions of children were exposed to ID theft through the Anthem breach, and that some of the damage may not appear for years, until the child applies for a credit card or job and discovers the theft. Already happened to your family? Check the Federal Trade Commission's Consumer Information child identity theft website for help.
Can you count on companies to protect you? Evidence suggests that companies are either unable or unwilling to protect your personal and credit information. While in fairness they are locked in a battle with with bad guys, the evidence is overwhelming that they are behind, and consumers are the losers.
As the sample of recent data breaches outlined above illustrate, its only a matter of time before you will be a victim.
Three simple things you should do to improve your odds:
Don't use the same password on every site. If one site is hacked, you don't want the bad guys to have keys to your entire online life.
Check your credit report at each of the 3 reporting agencies each year. And your kids' reports. See:
Put a fraud alert or credit/security freeze on your accounts with these agencies. If you rarely apply for new credit or loans, go with the freeze. It will keep anyone from opening a new account in your name. If your children have credit accounts, consider freezing them, too. Go here for instructions: If you frequently open new accounts, go with the fraud alerts, but recognize these only tell you when you've been attacked, are for a limited period of time and must be regularly renewed.

As 2023 general elections draw near, Politicians and their associates began to align in preparation for the political showdown. Some people have started showing sign that they might contest for a political office while others have not made the ambition known to the public. Also, political parties have began to have discussions on which part of the country they will zone Presidency. It might interest you to know that the incumbent President, Muhammadu Buhari is serving his second tenure in office, which means he will be leaving the office of number one citizen of Nigeria after May 29, 2023.
Recently, there have been talk on which zone will contrast the forthcoming Presidential election with some people saying, it's the turn of Southerners but during his visit to President Buhari today at Aso Rock, Pastor Tunde Bakare think otherwise but rather said, the best person should be allowed to become the next President of Nigeria no matter the region.
Pastor Bakare's visit to Ado Rock cakes few days after he inaugurated a political movement known as "New Nigeria Progressives Movement."
After his private meeting with President Buhari, the founder and General Overseer of Citadel Global Community Church (formerly Latter Rain Assembly), told Journalists that Nigeria need the most competent and most qualified person to lead the country no matter the region the person come from.
During the interview with Journalists after the meeting with the President, Pastor Tunde Bakare made some important statement concerning the forthcoming Presidential election.
One of the things he said was that "Nigeria need the most competent and people of character who love this nation" to be in power and not power rotation. According to him, power rotation is not what Nigeria need but people of good character who will lead to country and bring progress to the country.
He also noted that where the president comes from doesn't mean that region will be progressive. He told the Media that "if where the President comes from will make the place better, Northern part of Nigeria should have been the richest and most progressive."
He advised political parties to shun the idea of rotation but focus on bringing the best person who will bring progress to the country.
Pastor Tunde Bakare is a lawyer, Pastor, politician and one of the outspoken individuals in the country who always take their time to speak out when necessary in the country. | https://news-af.feednews.com/news/detail/73dd59a2db8d4497ad1e39c48dc0be0a?client=news | 1,656,696,320 | null |
