1. This term is used, Ge 49:10, to denote the Messiah, the coming of whom Jacob foretells in these words: "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be;" that is, until the time of Christ, Judah's self- governments as a tribe should not ceases. It must be admitted, however, that the literal signification of the word is not well ascertained. Some translate, "The scepter shall not depart from Judah till he comes to whom it belongs." Others, with more probability, till the coming of the Peacemaker, or of the One desired. 2. A famous city of Ephraim, about ten miles south of Shechem, and twenty-four north of Jerusalem. Here Joshua assembled the people to make the second distribution of the Land of Promise; and her the tabernacle of the Lord was set up, when they were settled in the country, Jos 18:1; 19:51. The ark and the tabernacle continued at Shiloh, from B. C. 1444 to B. C. 1116, when it was taken by the Phi

Moisture is a death sentence for pollen viability. Because of this, many breeders opt to mix flour into their pollen at a ratio of 4:1 (flour to pollen) when storing it long-term. This additional step will help keep pollen dry for a longer period of time. Cannabis is for the most part dioecious, meaning that the male and female reproductive organs exist on two separate plants (although hermaphroditic plants do occur). It is also a wind- pollinated plant, so pollen must be transferred from a male stamen to a female pistil via the air in order for pollination to occur and seeds to form. It’s important to continually practice germination testing to be sure your stored seeds haven’t lost all viability. To test this, periodically plant a seed and document its ability to germinate. A female cannabis plant that has received pollen from a male will produce many seeds over the course of its maturation cycle. Upon senescence, when the female plant is fully mature and ready for harvest, its seeds will be ready for strati

Long, linear projects, with tight budgets and schedules, and heightened public exposure–this is the typical description of a rail/transit project. From ESP’s perspective, the tasks and needs are similar to other transportation efforts, but with the understanding that time efficiency and communication needs are likely heightened. ESP has the experience and expertise to assist federal, state and local governments with these endeavors and to add value to teams. Our use of technology can assist with a strong understanding of the challenges and impediments for these long projects that traverse many properties, roadways, structures, etc. Our experience with rail and transit allow us to bring ideas and processes of value to our team.

Lauriane and Francesca, together with Blair Blakie and Danny Bailly (Otago University), theoretically studied the supersolid phase diagram of dipolar quantum Bose gases in cylindrical geometries. The work is now published in Physical Review Research. Observation of supersolidity in dipolar gases has been a breakthrough of 2019 that has triggered many further studies aiming at a deeper understanding of the properties and behaviors of the intriguing supersolid phase. The present work presents, thanks to a novel theoretical approach, a thorough mapping of the superfluid to supersolid transition. Depending on the gas density, three regimes are observed, the transition being strongly discontinuous without supersolid behavior at low densities, continuous in an intermediate density regime, and weakly discontinuous at higher densities. In the intermediate regime, the continuity arises as the supersolid ground state smoothly connects to the soft roton excitation of the uniform superfluid. Discontinuities arise due to

To begin a kickstart installation, you must boot the system from a Red Hat Linux boot diskette, Red Hat Linux boot CD-ROM, or the Red Hat Linux CD-ROM #1 and enter a special boot command at the boot prompt. The installation program looks for a kickstart file if the ks command line argument is passed to the kernel. If the kickstart file is located on a boot diskette as described in Section 7.8.1 Creating a Kickstart Boot Diskette, boot the system with the diskette in the drive, and enter the following command at the boot: prompt: CD-ROM #1 and Diskette The linux ks=floppy command also works if the ks.cfg file is located on a vfat or ext2 file system on a diskette and you boot from the Red Hat Linux CD-ROM #1. An alternate boot command is to boot off the Red Hat Linux CD-ROM #1 and have the kickstart file on a vfat or ext2 file system on a diskette. To do so, enter the following command at the boot: prompt: With Driver Disk If you need to use a driver disk with kickstart, specify the dd option as well. For exam

§ 7.40 p.m. § Lord Donaldson of Kingsbridge rose to ask Her Majesty's Government what steps are being taken to safeguard the teaching of musical instruments and theatre in education programmes in schools, and whether at least one cultural subject will be made mandatory in the national curriculum after the age of 14. § The noble Lord said: My Lords, while the Chamber is emptying I should just like to express my pleasure at the fact that I am starting the debate at least 20 minutes before anyone expected would be the case. Having been a Member of your Lordships' House for a long time, this is the first time that I have ever opened a debate in such circumstances. I hope, therefore, that the debate will end as satisfactorily as it began. § From time to time it is wise in very bad circumstances to turn and look at other things. In the presence of a major war, a ferocious cold snap and an infinitely dispiriting depression, I shall concentrate upon the very detailed edges of the education system which are capable of

KUCHING, April 3: Sarawak should now gear herself up towards self-determination or the Independence of Sarawak in its real sense, since the long 58 years of partnership in the Federation of Malaysia is not bringing much benefit to Sarawak and Sarawakians. Parti Bumi Kenyalang (PBK) member Egi Bangan King said this, emphasising that Sarawak and Sabah being termed a “fixed deposit” for the Peninsula and a “cash cow” when it comes to contribution to the nation’s coffer, was a matter of public knowledge. “However, in return for their substantial contribution, the two equal partners whose status has been unconstitutionally reduced to states are given a pittance out of the annual national budget allocation. “This shows how much the Borneo states have been losing out in terms of development. Sarawak and Sabah are left far behind the Peninsula and it is most unfortunate that the two Borneo states are the poorest in Malaysia,” he said in a statement today. He pointed out that Brunei, who had decided not to join the fo

Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa’s home in Kurunegala, in the north-western province of Sri Lanka, was set on fire on Monday, only hours after he tendered his resignation to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, as the country struggles with increased civil unrest and a devastating economic crisis. Anti-government demonstrators set fire to the homes of Moratuwa Mayor Saman Lal Fernando and MPs Sanath Nishantha, Ramesh Pathirana, Mahipala Herath, Thissa Kuttiarachchi, and Nimal Lanza earlier today. Many demonstrators, including members of the Inter-University Students Federation (IUSF), rushed to the streets and attacked Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna MPs. Furthermore, local police reported that two individuals were shot dead and five others were injured at the home of the Chairman of the Weeraketiya Pradeshiya Sabha. The developments come as the Prime Minister has submitted his resignation and urged for the formation of an interim all-party cabinet to deal with the country’s ongoing economic crisis. Despite an island-wi

LED Street Lighting What can we do to improve the quality of our street lighting without harming our environment? The International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) has some recommendations. Here are some simple guidelines when considering outdoor lighting, for domestic or public use. - Always choose fully shielded fixtures that emit no light upward. - Use “warm-white” or filtered LEDs (CCT < 3,000 K; S/P ratio < 1.2) to minimize blue emission. - Look for products with adaptive controls like dimmers, timers, and motion sensors. - Consider dimming or turning off the lights during overnight hours. - Avoid the temptation to over-light because of the higher luminous efficiency of LEDs. - Only light the exact space and in the amount required for particular tasks. If you are concerned about plans for new street lighting in your area, you can lobby your Local MP/Council Representative to review: Of any new public lighting in line with the IDA recommendations. Campaign locally to promote less use of blue-white LED domestic

What is an ingrown toenail? Put simply, it's pain in the toe around the sides of a toenail or fingernail caused by the nail itself. Medical terminology: Onychocryptosis. From Greek ONYCHO - meaning "nail" and CRYPTO - meaning "hidden." A common ingrown toenail An ingrown toenail is a nail disease in which one or both sides of the nail irritate the surrounding skin. The irritation is caused by unusually high pressure from the side of the toenail. The pressure is most commonly due to the nail's high arch or outside pressure from shoes or socks that are too tight. The free end of the toenail is not actually growing into the toe as the term "ingrown" might indicate. The side of the nail only appears to grow into the toe because it is being forced into the skin. See Ingrown Toenail Causes. Pressure from the side of the toenail initially only causes minor discomfort. The toe may appear slightly red and inflamed. But, what starts as discomfort can quickly worsen if the pressure is enough to create a cut in the skin.

For 19 years and 11 months, Teresa Velasco, known as Doña Tere, has cooked all the food at her restaurant inside Doña Tere Market on the corner of 21st and Florida streets. Generally, she walks from her house at Bryant and 26th streets and arrives at her restaurant around 11 a.m. to decide what she feels like cooking that day. First, however, she starts by cleaning the kitchen. Next, she makes rice, beans, and tortillas for the day. And finally, she pulls a recipe from memory to make the two homestyle dishes for the day, which she will have on hand to serve her hungry customers, many of them regulars. On the Wednesday we met, Doña Tere decided to make chiles rellenos stuffed with queso de Monterey, which she serves with two house- made corn tortillas, beans, rice, and super-spicy chile rojo salsa, all for $13 a plate. On the weekends, she makes pozole. On other days, her repertoire includes mole with chile rojo (mole with red chile), or nopales con castillo de puerco (cactus with pork chops). Or sometimes cald

There are still options for students to receive financial aid during COVID-19 crisis BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Money to pay for college tuition may not be there like it was before the pandemic. However, these experts explain there are flexible options to help students make ends meet. One of those experts is Dr. Sujuan Boutte is the Executive Director of the Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance (LOSFA). She said there is one vital action students should take to get the financial help they need. “The single step families can take to make the biggest impact right now is to make sure they file their FAFSA,” said Boutte. She tells high school seniors and current college students to file the FAFSA with their 2018 tax info. That’s because an earlier policy change now requires students to complete the form with a prior-prior year tax form. So, for 2020, students must use their 2018 information. However, Boutte knows your situation now may be different from what it was in 2018. “Maybe a family member… we h

Minister and daughter of Martin Luther King Jr, Bernice King has warned against violence both physical and spoken amid pandemic, racism and insurrection according to the Guardian Speakers at the annual Martin Luther King Jr holiday celebration in Atlanta on Monday called for renewed dedication to nonviolence following a turbulent year that saw a deadly pandemic, protests over systemic racism and a divisive election capped by an insurrection on the US Capitol. “This King holiday has not only come at a time of great peril and physical violence, it has also come during a time of violence in our speech – what we say and how we say it,” said the Rev Bernice King, the civil rights leader’s daughter. She added: “It is frankly out of control and we are causing too much harm to one another.” Bernice King said the toll of the pandemic, lingering outrage over killings of unarmed Black people and the deadly siege of Congress in Washington on 6 January by supporters of Donald Trump, now impeached for egging them on, all u

Drug is linked to significantly accelerated gastric emptying, reduced vomiting frequency THURSDAY, July 7, 2016 (HealthDay News) — For adults with diabetic gastroparesis, relamorelin reduces vomiting frequency and severity and accelerates gastric emptying, according to a study published in the July issue of Gastroenterology. Anthony Lembo, M.D., from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, and colleagues conducted a double-blind trial involving 204 patients with diabetic gastroparesis with moderate to severe symptoms and delayed gastric emptying. Patients were randomized to groups receiving placebo or subcutaneous relamorelin 10 µg once or twice per day. The researchers found that compared with placebo, twice-daily relamorelin correlated with significantly accelerated gastric emptying and reduced vomiting frequency (by about 60 percent) and severity. Relamorelin did not improve other gastrointestinal symptoms, such as abdominal pain and satiety, compared with placebo. A total of 58.3 percent of patien

New members are required to demonstrate their flying proficiency and basic safety knowledge before the can fly "solo" without an instructor. Upon passing, they become "full members". This takes the form of a verbal multiple-choice quiz and a Proficiency Check Flight with an instructor or board member. The quiz can be practiced online, and will be orally taken at the same time as the check-out flight. This applies to both new members as well as returning members who haven't been active for at least one year prior to re-joining. Here are some additional resources to help you study and prepare for the proficiency check out. - Study our Flight Training manual. - Be patient if you are downloading over a slower link. - If you prefer PowerPoint instead of PDF, link is here. - Practice or learn to fly with an instructor. During training, you will fly with multiple instructors using a buddy box. When you are ready to fly solo, you will fly with one or perhaps two instructors for one or two flights. The flights will be

The Choosing Wisely campaign promotes conversations on overuse and waste in our health care system. However, before many physicians are able to engage in these conversations with their patients they need to become more comfortable with shared decision-making and refine their communication skill set. The Minnesota Medical Association, a grantee of the ABIM Foundation, partnered with the Guthrie Theater to create an innovative approach to understanding and changing the behavior of physicians as they interact with their patients. “Choosing Wisely’s emphasis on communication as the foundation for more informed decision-making resonated with us. Effective communication is a well-documented gap in the skills of many physicians. We wanted to help physicians improve these skills in a unique and interactive way,” said Janet Silversmith, Director of Health Policy at the Minnesota Medical Association. “The Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis has a tradition of connecting health care and the arts. Choosing Wisely was a perfec

Nobel Prize Material–Could Transform the Planet, Here’s the math that I was surprised to not see in the book: the top billion people that business focuses on are worth less than a trillion in potential sales. The bottom four billion, with less than $1000 a year in disposable income, are worth four trillion in potential sales. In combination, Prahalad and Hart make it clear that business suffers from the same pathologies as the Central Intelligence Agency and other bureaucracies: they are in a rut. I will end by emphasizing that I believe this author merits the Nobel Peace Prize. As the U.S. Department of Defense is now discovering, its $500 billion a year budget is being spent on a heavy metal military useful only 10% of the time. Stabilizization and reconstruction are a much more constructive form of national defense, because if we do not address poverty and instability globally, it will inevitably impact on the home front. This author has presented the most common sense case for turning business upside down

August 15, 2019 This week, USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) announced plans for new animal health activities using funding provided in the 2018 Farm Bill. The bill established a three-part program to support animal disease prevention management and provided funding for two new programs; the National Animal Vaccine and Veterinary Countermeasures Bank (vaccine bank) and the National Animal Disease Preparedness and Response Program (NADPRP). This fall, APHIS will issue a notice to gather information from vaccine manufacturers and develop an acquisition strategy for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) vaccine. APHIS will make up to $10 million available for NADPRP and NAHLN for proposed projects. APHIS will also be entering cooperative agreements with states, universities, livestock producer organizations, and other eligible entities for projects that will help prevent new pests and diseases from entering the U.S. and reducing the spread and impact of potential disease incursions. Funding will a

Britta Timm Knudsen Predominant contemporary understandings of heritage agree that heritage is formed in the present, and that these formations – politically contested or not – pave the way for a certain future to happen [Lowenthal 2004, Harrison 2013 etc.]. Looking closer at ways of understanding heritage practices in the present, I take as a point of departure two prominent scholarly definitions. Firstly, Laurajane Smith puts forward her definition of heritage as discourse, stressing that heritage production always involves the exertion of power and authority of some groups over others who are invited to 'share', 'learn' and 'become educated' about authorised heritage values and meanings. Thus, heritage always involves power asymmetries. Such focus on identity, representation and access was more broadly a key concern in the new museology from the 1990s [Vergo 1989, Karp, Kreamer, Lavine 1992], and Smith seeks to highlight the politics of representation of official heritage sites and narratives by arguing th

A little more about the single bowl kitchen sink, a fun option for people who want a unique kitchen! Traditional thinking holds that a one-bowl sink should be left for spaces such as a bathroom or toilet. This is mainly because sinks are notoriously not large or suitable for kitchen activities. Recently homeowners have started using the sink in their kitchen. A washbasin can help you show your unusual and special sense of style to the people who visit your home. You can also check for the purchase ADA kitchen sink through the web. Image Source: Google To be honest, almost any sink can be called a kitchen sink with a bowl. This is because many people think of the kitchen sink as a "kitchen sink". What's even more fun is that when you find them, there are kitchen designers and makers who find ways to shape real bowls into bowl sinks! Sometimes a kitchen sink with a bowl is also referred to as a kitchen sink "dishes". This is an important concept to keep in mind if you think you can work with an interior designe

We love smoothies here. You guessed it? That’s because it’s a great way to get extra nutrients into us … without being picky or retching over the greens! Are you with me on that? Not only are smoothies good for us but they are good for our kids, too. Your kids may already be back at school, or maybe they’re just about to go back. Determine to send them off each morning with an easy, healthy breakfast, full of great nutrients that will help them do their best. And have one yourself! As a teenager, I’d usually have a glass of milk and then head out the door. Now, while milk is good for you, it’s not enough for an active, energetic child or teenager. I didn’t realise this. (Mom did, but what teenager listens to her Mom? Sorry, Mom!) I was always weary at morning break and wanted to grab a cookie. It took me a long time to realise that filling up on a healthy breakfast would be soooo much more effective. (Well, actually, I didn’t learn that until many, many years later, lol!) If my teenage self had known about sm

The human body is an unexhausting factory of chemical and electrical signals that carry a lot of information about us, our health, our well-being. If each of us were able to read these signals in real time or at glance in everyday life, we could better monitor our own health status, intervene early to prevent risks, pathologies and disfunctions, or simply enhance or correct our wellness, personal care, or physical performance. Organic Bioelectronics offers unprecedented solutions for personalized sensing of the signals from the human body and surrounding it. Our technology, developed in decades of multidisciplinary research, enables the design and production of sensors that are easy-to-use, ultralight, impalpable, low cost and low power, but above all, that communicate with us. “Know Yourself”: the Greeks understood its importance, transmitting the aphorism gnvthi seautón to the Romans ( “Nosce Te Ipsum”). In 2020, Organic Bioelectronics expand their vision towards the future.

Mechanical loading is a critical factor that regulate functional bone adaptation and trabecular bone architecture is dependent on the mechanical environment within bone tissue. The aim of this study is to investigate the bone cell response to mechanical loading in a 3D trabecular bone environment using two different bone cell loading mechanism. We established a 3D trabecular bone explant model and applied either oscillatory fluid flow induced shear stress or cyclic compressive strain. Our results indicate that fluid shear stress increases alkaline phosphatase activity as well as mRNA levels of collagen type I and core binding factor 1. Mechanical compressive strain also increases alkaline phosphatase activity and collagen type I mRNA but to a lesser degree compared to fluid shear stress. These results suggest that fluid shear stress may be a more potent stimulus than cyclic compressive strain in inducing bone formation in 3D trabecular bone structure. |Number of pages||9| |Journal||Tissue Engineering and Rege

Many young people, particularly new webcam users, have been tinkering with hand and wrist exercises as a means of self defense. They are not the first ones to think of employing their hands in such a way, but it is becoming more popular. In case you know of a poor ever knowledgeable a dangerous circumstance where a new person had nabbed or presented them right from behind when they were on camera, they likely would have recommended these exercises in order to fend off a great attacker. And although there is a lot of skepticism about whether they in fact work, teen webcam users have actually been good in guarding themselves against real physical violence or lovemaking advances. The exercises really are a very serious and beneficial self defense device for all kinds of situations, including situations high is no clear physical risk: The usual principle engaged is quite basic: using your thumb and forefinger to reached an object, whether it is a dog pen, a smartphone, or any other object which the perpetrator ca

As we search for meaning and face-to-face relationship-building in an increasingly busy, seemingly disconnected world, the trend to put placemaking at the core of new developments is an important one that has wide-reaching benefits and implications. Placemaking, when done well, is about inspiring people to stretch their imaginations and reinvent public spaces as places that add a beating heart to a neighbourhood or specific development. By making the connections between people and the places they inhabit and share stronger, effective placemaking can make a genuine difference, as long as it is a truly collaborative process that maximises the value of shared spaces for a diverse audience. When Placemaking Goes Wrong Community Cohesiveness Suffers Despite what seem like good intentions, placemaking goes wrong when the vision for it is misunderstood and poorly-advised. A prime example of placemaking done poorly is the Docklands precinct of Melbourne. Originally intended to extend the CBD and entice new residents

Private endeavor property is, as its name appears, private property than a researcher purchases in order to profit either by trading or renting. There are dependably three sorts of private properties, each with their own extraordinary potential theory threats and positive conditions.

M6XCV has written a RIP44 daemon in Lua. The expected primary use case is OpenWRT/LEDE based devices, however the script was developed on Debian and should work on any Linux platform with the appropriate libraries. The script is currently considered experimental, having received only limited testing on a couple of devices. The script should only require Lua and the LuaSocket module to work. As well as the IPIP kernel module, of course. If you do not have the "ip" command installed then you will also need this. I have provided an OpenWRT package which should install the required dependencies. SSH in to your device and run the following commands: - wget https://github.com/NotMikeDEV/RIP 44/blob/master/rip44_2019.04.07-1_all.ipk - opkg update - opkg install rip44_2019.04.07-1_all.ipk You then need to edit /etc/rip44.conf to specify your AMPRNet allocation. Once this is done, reboot to load the required modules and start the daemon. If the configuration setting GATEWAY is false then it will use your normal default

The program curriculum covers the following topics: Session one will kick- off the program with high-level remark

The Act of Killing, directed by Joshua Oppenheimer, provides a unique and deeply disturbing insight into the ethical deadlock of global capitalism. Can the monstrous orgy of torture and killing be publicly celebrated, even decades after it took place, as an ordinary acceptable pleasurable activity? The documentary The Act of Killing (Final Cut Film Production, Copenhagen) premiered in 2012 at the Telluride film festival and was also shown at Toronto International Film Festival and others. The Act of Killing, directed by Joshua Oppenheimer, provides a unique and deeply disturbing insight into the ethical deadlock of global capitalism. The film – shot in Medan, Indonesia, in 2007 – reports on a case of obscenity which reaches the extreme: a film, made by Anwar Congo and his friends, who are now respected politicians, but were gangsters and death squad leaders playing a key role in the 1966 killing of ca 2.5 million alleged Communist sympathizers, mostly ethnic Chinese. The Act of Killing is about “killers who h

Snapchat users are watching far more movie on cell products, and a report from the enterprise statements the adjust in viewing habits is right here to stay.

Sound services, infrastructure planning give state-made goods outlet to global markets In the heart of the Midwest, Indiana’s agriculture and manufacturing industries have long been a staple of its economic health. But with the advent of the internet, the world became smaller and local companies suddenly had a global reach at their fingertips. Today, a rising number of Indiana goods find their way to Mexico, Germany and beyond via local air and water ports. Thanks to infrastructure improvements and long- term planning, that’s not a trend expected to change anytime soon. One benefit that Indiana has as an exporter is, perhaps surprisingly, its location. Nestled between the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes, right along major interstates and rail lines, the state has a variety of shipping options available to exporters. That variety gives companies the flexibility of knowing that, even if a highway is under construction or a river floods, there still are other options to move their freight. “Certainty is as

Britain plans to spend £3bn on new nuclear warheads. Decision breaches non-proliferation treaty, opponents say. Matthew Taylor, The Guardian, Friday July 25 2008 The UK is to replace its stockpile of nuclear warheads at an estimated cost of more than £3bn, according to documents seen by the Guardian. Ministers have repeatedly denied there are any plans to replace the warheads as part of the upgrade of the Trident nuclear system, insisting no decision will be taken until the next parliament, probably sometime after 2010. However, previously unpublished papers released under the Freedom of Information Act reveal one of the MoD's senior officials told a private gathering of arms manufacturers that the decision had already been taken. "This afternoon we are going to outline our plan to maintain the UK's nuclear deterrent," David Gould, then the chief operating officer at the Defence Equipment and Support Organisation, told a future deterrent industry day event. "The intention is to replace the entire Vanguard cla

The way to write essays is among the most important skills you can learn. Of course, it does not come as a stroll at the park. In fact, learning how to write a good essay is not quite as simple as it sounds. That is because grammar and writing aren’t that simple to master. That having been said, but there are some ideas you can follow in order to improve your essay writing skills and make them much better than they actually are right now. You probably have a rough idea on what type of essay that you wish to write, particularly if you are going to school. If so, then you want to spend some time learning about different sorts of essays out there. You need to understand what to write before you even begin, or else you will find write my papers it rather hard to write anything other than a thesis statement to your faculty newspapers. The very first tip you need to follow when learning how to compose essays is to learn how to write them using a very clear and detailed arrangement. Students are advised to write ess

Despite the fact that United States president Donald Trump withdrew from the Paris climate agreement back in 2017, there are many, many companies, politicians, and constituents that have not given up on moving away from fossil fuels and toward meeting the carbon emissions cap set by the accord. In fact, polling shows that a majority of United States citizens still support the United States’ adherence to the Paris agreement, and a huge number of U.S. states have maintained their own official clean energy goals, with Washington and Hawaii even going so far as to pass legislature explicitly targeting 100 percent clean energy. It therefore goes without saying that it has become an increasingly hot topic to determine how such a lofty goal can realistically be achieved. There is currently a debate between factions of clean energy experts as to whether the United States’ vast energy demand can be met purely through zero- emissions renewable energy, or if renewable energy will have to be augmented with other alternati

Dudes, far too often we ignore men’s self-care. Whether it’s ignoring our emotional fitness, failing to surround ourselves with healthy communities, or even just a lack of interest in men’s fashion, Dudefluencer’s been by your side all the way. Men’s grooming is one of those activities that we all take part in, but too often half-ass the whole thing so we don’t get the full benefits from it. So now it’s onto the next step in your self-care journey: the ultimate men’s grooming guide for 2021. And when you’re done, check out the Dudefluencer’s Manscaping Guide to finish up your grooming journey. What is men’s grooming, and why is it important? When I’m talking about grooming, I’m going to be talking about all of it. Hairstyle, nose-hair trimming, face wash. Andy Gilchrist of Ask Andy About Clothes describes the importance of men’s grooming as, “We live in a complex, crowded society where considerate people keep themselves clean, neat and appropriately presentable for a variety of places and occasions. Appropria

|Name||What Are VA Loans?| |Description||As the video says, the name is misleading - they are not loans FROM the VA.

Cold heats up propane cost Rural Montana farmers, businesses and residents could find themselves paying as much as 50 percent and $200 more to fill their propane tanks than they did last winter because of higher demand for the heating fuel nationally, officials say. “We’ve seen propane supplies tightening up for us the last three months, with substantial price increases in the last two or three weeks,” said Bruce Clark, general manager of Mountain View Co-op, who estimated his business delivers propane to 2,500 customers in an area spanning from Lincoln to Big Sandy, east to west, and from White Sulphur Springs to the Canadian border. “It’s a matter of supply and demand, with much more demand for propane because of crop drying last fall in the Midwest and two winter cold snaps in the Midwest and East pulling some of Montana’s usual propane supplies from western Canada. “Unfortunately, most folks using propane don’t have any heating option when prices go up, unless they’ve got a wood- burning stove,” Clark said

Poems for poetry day 4th October 2018 Today is National Poetry Day, 2018. To mark this, I publish three of my poems based on history and legend. A thousand slaves on Nemrud’s height did toil and raised a tumulus of such might that snow lay on its body, huge and bare. Six Titans sat, carved from titanic stone, and guarded Antiochus, lord of Commagene, whose mortal ashes, in his tomb, no longer can be seen. Some lines depicting a Greek legend, 1966 Wild chaos, like a milky void, was there and from it, through the very beats of time, arose a Goddess with a graceful form. She found no solid thing to rest upon and so divided water from the wind. She made the boundless sea with flowing tide and danced upon its ripples and its waves. She danced upon the universe alone and grasped the tameless wind between her hands: she rubbed it and behold! A serpent grew. The star-crowned, black-winged goddess of the night, before whom even Zeus must stand in awe, was courted by the wind and made an egg of silver which she laid in

Share this article: New DNA Technique Helps in Identifying Twins This article was first published in The Conversation under a Creative Commons Attribution NoDerivatives license. Read the original article here or continue below: DNA profiling (or genetic fingerprinting) has proved a revolutionary tool for forensic investigators as a means to identify potential suspects, exonerate the innocent and convict the guilty. But, like any forensic technique, it has its limitations. One limitation is in cases involving identical twins, something that has raised technical, legal and ethical problems– until now. The more closely related one human is to another, the more similar their DNA profiles. For example, the probability of a DNA match between two random, unrelated individuals is in the region of one in a billion. For two full siblings, the probability drops to one in 10,000. Identical twins present the same DNA profile. In forensic investigations, this presents problems. Under the ethical premise that it is better t

Muslim women have several restrictions on their clothing. They generally wear clothes that cover them from head to toe leaving only their face and hands bare. You can easily point them out in a crowd with their traditional clothes. Women's Abaya is a traditional Muslim wear (common more among Middle Easter khaleeji women), which is like a cloak made of a single piece of cloth. They cover everything below the shoulders barring only the hands and feet. Traditionally they were available in black but these days they are also available in different vibrant colors. But these days it has become very common among women of different regions; you can identify them as kaftans. Even famous designer, Domenico Vacca, has decided to add trendy Women's Abaya designs to his collection. This will actually help in making this type of clothing more famous. They may be traditional wear for Muslim women, but no one can deny that they are very comfortable. How is an Abaya different from a Jilbab? An Abaya is somewhat similar to a J

Survival Rates For Inflammatory Breast Cancer Inflammatory breast cancer is considered an aggressive cancer because it grows quickly, is more likely to have spread at the time its found, and is more likely to come back after treatment than other types of breast cancer. The outlook is generally not as good as it is for other types of breast cancer. Survival rates can give you an idea of what percentage of people with the same type and stage of cancer are still alive a certain amount of time after they were diagnosed. They cant tell you how long you will live, but they may help give you a better understanding of how likely it is that your treatment will be successful. Keep in mind that survival rates are estimates and are often based on previous outcomes of large numbers of people who had a specific cancer, but they cant predict what will happen in any particular persons case. These statistics can be confusing and may lead you to have more questions. Talk with your doctor about how these numbers may apply to yo

Once Within Borders: Territories of Power, Wealth, and Belonging since 1500. By Charles S. Maier. Review published by The Journal of Modern History. Read review Jeremy’s new book will be published by Hurst Publishers The history of Britain has, at least in part, to be understood in a European context. Jeremy Black’s new book seeks to explain this phenomenon. Amid Britain’s ongoing Brexit crises the mastodons on both sides roar about our past relationship with Europe. Much specious history is being presented to justify how close or distant our political, cultural and economic links with the Continent have been, both by isolationist advocates of a ‘Little Britain’ and those who breathlessly embrace a polyglot landmass, one in which Britain has traditionally ‘balanced’ its interests offshore by siding with one European power or another. But how similar to or dissimilar from other European countries was Britain, and in what respects? Moreover, how far can similarity and difference be understood in terms of conver

Odd Startup Disk Behaviour I’ve found that when I put a large (9GB), more modern SCSI hard disk in some of my older 68k Macs, they stopped allowing me to individually select boot partitions in the Startup Disk control panel. This is extremely frustrating as it limits you to only booting from the first partition of each installed disk, even though your desktop is full of smaller partitions. The issue most obviously manifests when you find that if you open the Startup Disk control panel and pick a partition, closing and reopening the control panel shows all partitions on that disk as selected, and when you restart, the computer just boots from the first partition on the disk. I haven’t worked out exactly what causes it, it may be due to my choice of partition size, or just the model of disk, but, regardless, I have found a workaround that doesn’t involve using the elderly utility “System Picker”. I’ve found that for some reason, this issue goes away (although the the all partitions selected in the control panel

Medical school student Miranda Gerrard advocates for rural communities here and abroad Growing up on a cattle farm – first in Pine Village, Indiana, and then in Riner, Virginia – Miranda Gerrard has deep appreciation for animals, including the cows, sheep, and pigs she took to 4H livestock shows, as well as the horses she still loves to ride today. Given her background as one of the few students with a farm upbringing, the now third- year student at the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine has earned a loving nickname from her classmates, “Moo-randa.” “The farm initially piqued my interest in the field of medicine as I struggled to feed animals the correct amount of nutrients or I dispensed a needle of medications to a sickly calf. Like the community in which I was raised, I was passionate about raising livestock. But I became even more passionate about the people involved in my surrounding community,” Gerrard said. “While they were tending to their crops and livestock, who was tending to them?” The next

Humanity has always needed a source of power for its endeavors, ranging from animal-drawn carriages and plows in times past to steam-powered turbines in the 19th century to more advanced forms of power generation today. Most often, electricity in the developed world such as the United States is derived from fossil fuel-powered power plants, but these plants have come under heavy scrutiny due to their tendency to heavily pollute the biosphere during their operation, and coal and oil have faced criticism recently due to how much these fossil fuels pollute the natural world and human cities alike. Fossil fuel from power plants, cars, and more contribute to smog in cities around the world, most often in the United States, India, and China, and the worldwide “go green” initiative calls for a rapid reduction in fossil fuel use and replacing them with renewable, clean power sources instead. Solar energy is one such solution, alongside wind farms and geothermal power. Residential solar energy is a reality even today,

World Bulletin / News Desk A rocket was fired from south Lebanon towards Israel on Sunday, Lebanese security sources said, and residents of a northern Israeli town reported hearing a blast. "An explosion was heard. Soldiers are searching the area. The cause is still being investigated," an Israeli military spokeswoman said. A second Israeli military source said the explosion was probably caused by a mortar. The incident came amid heightened tensions in the region over Syria's civil war. Damascus has said it will respond to Israeli air strikes earlier this month against suspected Iranian missiles in Syria destined for the Lebanese group Hezbollah. The rocket launch could be heard from the Lebanese town of Marjayoun, about 10 km (six miles) from the Israeli border, residents in the Lebanese town said. Earlier on Sunday, two rockets were fired into a Shi'ite district of southern Beirut after Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah pledged his Shi'ite Muslim group would fight in Syria until victory for President Bashar

What if governments used tax money to solve problems instead of making existing problems worse? What if governments strived for a sustainable economy rather than an ever-growing one that recognizes no limits? Such questions should be considered before the state squanders more than a billion dollars to lure Amazon’s HQ2. Consider some current problems that will only get worse if Amazon moves to Georgia. During drought periods, the state’s water supply is already stressed by the demands of the existing population. Depletion of Chattahoochee River flows has caused Florida and Alabama concern about water rights. Will the U.S. Supreme Court consider Georgia’s insatiable lust for growth in its ruling on the water wars dispute with Florida? Air quality in the greater Atlanta area has been marginal for decades, primarily due to so many vehicles on the roads. Another 50,000 jobs will likely mean many thousands of additional vehicles to further degrade the air we breathe. Wouldn’t it be more sensible to spend some of t

The Apple Watch has been credited with preventing the rape of a woman in Calgary earlier this year, after the wearable device was used to contact her partner following a suspected break-in attempt at her apartment. John Joseph Macindoe pleaded guilty at a court in Calgary on Tuesday, on charges of breaking and entering with intent to sexually assault a woman, whose identity is protected by a publication ban. While the crime that was committed was breaking and entering, Macindoe's possession of a bag containing supplies that were clearly intended for rape, as well as the circumstances of the incident, exacerbated the charges. On April 1, the woman was asleep in her home following a day at work, but woke to the sound of her dogs barking. On seeing a figure moving around her home, CBC reports she texted her boy

Complex care and serious illness care are two of the few areas in healthcare where the quality of care for patients can be significantly improved while simultaneously lowering costs. Patients with complex conditions drive significant costs and roughly 25% of all traditional Medicare costs are spent in the last year of life. Patients may experience unnecessary or unwanted hospitalizations, skilled nursing facility stays and ER visits, as well as undertake treatments that may conflict with their goals of care and fail to prolong their lives. Patients facing a serious illness also experience severe symptoms like pain, nausea, constipation and shortness of breath that frequently go untreated, and both patients and their families often wrestle with complex emotions including fear, anxiety and grief. Aspire Health’s Solution Aspire Health has built a network of physicians that provides comprehensive medical care for patients with complex conditions or facing a serious illness.

Garrick Theatre, London – until 12 November 2016 For the final show in his year-long stay at this West End address, Kenneth Branagh has chosen to revive and star in John Osborne’s 1957 play. By doing so, he finds himself once again treading in the footsteps of Sir Laurence Olivier, who originally created the role. It’s not the first time he’s shadowed the legendary actor. In 1989, he played Henry V on film, and then also the great man himself (in the 2011 film Marilyn and Me). But can Branagh make this Angry Young Man period piece, which is both an attack on the British government’s handling of the Suez Crisis and a love letter to the music hall, relevant to audiences in this new millennium? Set in 1956, the play examines the life of Archie Rice, a failing music hall star. Living in a Northern seaside boarding house with his immediate family — which consists of his second wife Phoebe, his pacifist son Frank and his father Billy, a retired music hall performer — Archie works every night, hammering out his tire

We can't just hope our kids won't try drugs. We need to be open and honest with them on the issue 'Just say no' doesn't work. So, how can we teach our kids how to be safe? With one child in high school and another nearly there, I'm certainly in the thick of things when it comes to them recognizing how real and prevalent drug use is. My children see the impact of drug use in their daily lives. We interact with people in the grips of addiction on the streets. They hear news stories about how more than 9,000 lives were lost in the six years since B.C. declared a public health emergency due to overdose deaths. And while neither of my children have had close friends overdose, my eldest does have peers who are grappling with addiction and a few who have lost their lives. It's horrifying. But as parents, we can't just pretend our children won't be exposed to drugs, or that they'll never have to make a choice about whether to take them. So, what can we do? Have honest, non-judgmental conversations For one thing, talk

Dilemmas are a part of our lives. Be it choosing between a wide array of evening snacks, a favorite sportsperson, or a favorite band to listen to — we tend to get confused now and then. While it is okay to get confused in simple life choices, it can be bothersome if you get confused between your investment options. To make sure that you stay out of confusion and make a sound decision regarding your investment choice, we will explore the difference between United Linked Insurance Plans (ULIPs) and Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs). It will help you to figure out which of the two might fare better for your investment needs. However, before we get to the difference between ULIPs and SIPs, let’s figure out what they are. What are ULIPs? A ULIP is a plan which is unique, as it offers the benefit of both investment and life insurance. With a ULIP, you have a share of your premium going toward your insurance premium. The other share is invested in several market-linked instruments such as bonds and stocks so that y

Many little girls grow up dreaming of being in a fairy tale relationship, being swept off their feet by the perfect gentleman and living happily ever after. As boys get older, they, too, can develop idealistic thoughts about becoming someone’s knight in shining armor. Although Cinderella and Prince Charming’s enduring love story may be the stuff of fantasy, trying to create perfection in a real-life relationship can backfire. When we fall in love, we want to be on our best behavior, look our best, and show our partner how much they mean to us. This is perfectly normal. As love develops and grows, it is also normal to expect love to change and evolve into a maturity and grace that allows for some imperfections to begin to show through. Over time, all relationships weather ups and downs and highs and lows. Nobody’s perfect, and no partners are perfect together all the time. But in the quest for the “perfect” relationship, sometimes we expect more from our partner than is reasonable. This can mean nobody’s happy

CitationMcDonald, Steve; Erickson, Lance D.; Johnson, Monica Kirkpatrick; & Elder, Glen H., Jr. (2007). Informal Mentoring and Young Adult Employment. Social Science Research, 36(4), 1328-1347. PMCID: PMC2151739 AbstractThis study explores the role of informal mentoring (i.e., developing an important relationship with a non-parental adult) in the transition to full time employment among young adults (age 23–28). Multivariate analysis of the Add Health data reveals that mentoring is positively related to the likelihood of full time employment, and the relationship involves both selection and causation processes. Entrance into the world of work facilitates the development of mentoring relationships, especially among youth who identify work-related mentors after adolescence. These relationships have the potential for promoting attachment to the labor force. Mentoring relationships that develop outside of work settings and during adolescence have a positive impact on the odds of full time employment. The receipt

The average director is 61 years old; 15 percent are female, 68 percent have an undergraduate degree, 50 percent have an advanced degree, 27 percent have an MBA. SMU Distinguished Professor - James Linck - Social Science Research Network: “The Determinants of Director Compensation” - SMU Cox School of Business More SMU Research news Mystique shrouds the activities surrounding the board of directors. Today directors serving on boards are paid quite handsomely. But what functions do they perform for their rewards? In a first-of-its-kind paper, SMU Cox Distinguished Finance Professor James Linck, with Viktar Fedaseyeu and Hannes Wagner, analyze directors — who they are, what they do and how much they are paid. Many believed that the board of directors was an ‘old boys network.’ As far back as the early ’90s, research indicated the ‘appearance’ of an old boys network, notes Linck. This earlier research indicated that directors were largely paid the same and rarely received equity as compensation as is common toda

“The cinema is a powerful ideological weapon for revolution and construction,” wrote North Korea’s Dear Leader Kim Jong-il in his 1973 classic On The Art Of The Cinema. You wonder what Kim would have made of Liberation Day, Morten Traavik’s documentary about Laibach, which follows the Slovenians as they become the first Western rock act to perform in the DPRK (although this writer witnessed a drunk tourist singing The Star Spangled Banner to a crowd of bemused locals in a Pyongyang hotel bar in 2005). It’s a film about red tape, trust, cultural difference and technological struggle, and the only real drama occurs when band spokesman Ivan Novak goes walkabout without permission. But it captures Pyongyang’ s surreal, perplexing atmosphere perfectly , and only resorts to hermit-kingdom cliché once, when ominous music is used to soundtrack footage of ordinary North Korean citizens commuting. “I don’t know what kind of trace we expected to leave here," says Novak.“It’s a small step for Laibach, but a big one for h

How did the United States became a superpower after ww2? The period after the end of the Second World War saw the emergence of the United States as the pre-eminent military and economic power in the world. Every part of the world came under the purview of US interests. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the US became the only superpower in the world. How did us become superpower? The 1898 Treaty of Paris ending the war gave Cuba its independence and also ceded important Spanish possessions to the United Statesnotably Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and the small island of Guam. The United States was suddenly a colonial power with overseas dependencies. How did ww2 change America’s role in the world? America’s involvement in World War II had a significant impact on the economy and workforce of the United States. Our involvement in the war soon changed that rate. American factories were retooled to produce goods to support the war effort and almost overnight the unemployment rate dropped to around 10%. What d

Measures are being taken to protect NHS staff on the Fylde coast from being ripped off by loan sharks. Finance bosses have stepped in to ensure any workers forced to borrow money to see them over hard times, are not exploited. Feroz Patel, executive director of finance at Blackpool Teaching Hospitals, told a meeting of the hospital board many staff were facing difficulties due to the cost of living crisis. He said: “We are getting quite a lot of reports about some of the staff who are going to the high street and probably being exploited on loans and credit that they are getting, or maybe not getting.” Mr Patel said the hospital was helping its staff by setting up direct deductions from their salaries if they had been forced to take out a loan, which helped ensure they were not exploited by the transaction. The measure is among a number of actions taken to improve the wellbeing of hospital staff and help reduce sickness rates, currently running at more than six per cent, which is above the target of four per

IVF is a very expensive journey – both emotionally and financially and unfortunately there is no guarantee of success. We want to help you increase your chances of success and with that in mind we’ve written our top 5 things to help your IVF be a success. Most women when trying for a baby you attempt to do the right things such as stop drinking and cutting out coffee but when you expect to go through IVF there is more at stake and not just for baby. If you have a diet high in inflammatory foods then your body is already fighting. The process of stimulating follicles is hard on your body. Bloating, headaches, weight gain, pain are all signs that the body is not coping with the drugs. There is also a risk of over-stimulating. The liver is key here. The liver is the organ in the body that helps clear out the drugs. In our experience, the women that have a clean diet – low in sugar, mono or trans fats and high in vegetables, fruits and whole grains will have a liver better able to cope with the drugs and will suf

Pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine - Aust Prescr 2010;33:52-9 - 1 April 2010 - DOI: 10.18773/austprescr.2010.024 Some of the views expressed in the following notes on newly approved products should be regarded as preliminary, as there may have been limited published data at the time of publication, and little experience in Australia of their safety or efficacy. However, the Editorial Executive Committee believes that comments made in good faith at an early stage may still be of value. Before new drugs are prescribed, the Committee believes it is important that more detailed information is obtained from the manufacturer's approved product information, a drug information centre or some other appropriate source. 0.5 mL suspension in pre-filled syringe Approved indication: prevention of Streptococcus pneumoniae infections Australian Medicines Handbook section 20.1 This vaccine is indicated for the prevention of invasive pneumococcal disease (including pneumonia and acute otitis media) in children aged

SunPower Laguna Technopark Website Are you tired of paying huge electrical energy expenses month after month? Going solar is your best choice for big savings, and now, thanks to SunPower, it is more affordable and easier than ever before. This is what you will find out: SunPower is an American energy business founded by Richard Swanson & Richard Crane in 1985. It began as EOS Electric Power. In 1988 it was relabelled SunPower. In 1990 the business got funding to start producing solar cells. In 1992 started delivering them to clients. What Is SunPower? SunPower is known to style, manufacture, and deliver a wide variety of high-performance solar electric systems across the USA, for commercial and domestic functions. It is also beneficial to discuss that NASA also has actually utilized SunPower’s cutting edge cell technology for their area programs. But NASA is not the only one who has relied on SunPower items. Solar Impulse 2, a zero-fuel plane, set a world record for ending up being the first solar aircraft to

Use local products, such as cheeses, meats, chocolates and spring water, for our tasting room, with reliance on the Buy Fresh Buy Local program sponsored by the Piedmont Environmental Council. Source locally: more than 90 percent of the capital value at DuCard comes from products, suppliers and tradesmen located within 100 miles of our property. Eliminate the use of plastics in our tableware. Cups, knives and forks are made of fully biodegradable corn and potato based starches rather than petrochemicals, and plates are made from compostable recycled paper. All are US manufactured. Eliminate plastic water bottles, a longstanding environmental goal globally. DuCard is the only Virginia winery to have done this. Through a partnership with Virginia Artesian Water we are using returnable, reusable glass bottles – similar to how the milkman delivered milk back in the day. See press release here for more details. News coverage here. Using wine bottles that are about 20% lighter than average, requiring less fuel for

Depression Means So Many Different Things In therapy and out, there is perhaps no more talked about emotional malady than depression, and no form of therapy more prevalent than depression therapy. Everyone experiences depression in some way, some much more than others (Major Depression and Dysthymic Disorder or Dysthymia are other terms given to specific varieties of depression). Depression therapy is often what people think of when they think of therapy, period. Yet in providing therapy for depression in our NYC therapy center’s offices in Tribeca and Park Slope, Brooklyn, as well as online via Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, or phone, there is a paradox: It seems clear that what everyone is experiencing–what everyone means when they refer to depression in therapy couldn’t possibly be the same thing. Depression means so many different things. And yet we rarely question just what is meant by depression in our ordinary conversations in the world and in the high-stakes conversations that take place in depression ther

Brain mechanisms extracting invariant information from varying auditory inputs were studied using the mismatch-negativity (MMN) brain response. We wished to determine whether the preattentive sound-analysis mechanisms, reflected by MMN, are capable of extracting invariant relationships based on abstract conjunctions between two sound features. The standard stimuli varied over a large range in frequency and intensity dimensions following the rule that the higher the frequency, the louder the intensity. The occasional deviant stimuli violated this frequency-intensity relationship and elicited an MMN. The results demonstrate that preattentive processing of auditory stimuli extends to unexpectedly complex relationships between the stimulus features.

One thing is for sure – the people of Dzūkija know how to put the gifts of nature on the table. And there is definitely a chance that you will be served what you don’t usually eat. Like maybe mushroom cheese! Don’t turn it down – the locals really do know how to prepare mushrooms and are not trying to kill you. They use them to make soup and stew, they fill pastries and dumplings with them, and they dry, cure, pickle, and marinate them in preparation for winter. In Dzūkija, be sure to try a banda – a traditional savoury cake made from potatoes or buckwheat and baked on a cabbage leaf. Look for a place where they are served straight out of a wood-burning oven. If you like it, ask for a piece of buckwheat babka to go with your forest tea – this is a sweet cake flavoured with honey.

I once knew a man who worked for a major oil company. He managed a large wholesale territory that sold fuel and oil products to airlines and other big accounts. Some years ago, the company decided to pull out of his territory. They offered him the opportunity to buy the wholesale business “for a song,” which he readily accepted. He worked diligently and set specific financial goals for his company. He committed these goals to writing on 3x5 cards and kept them in his shirt pocket so he could frequently review them. Everything he did with that business was aimed at fulfilling these goals. My office was located near a main freeway, and from my window I could see the traffic. As the years passed, I saw his fuel trucks more and more frequently driving up and down the freeway. They bore his name in the colors of the oil company from which he purchased the business. Needless to say, his company was very successful. Eventually, he sold it for a substantial sum of money and retired. He attributed his success to commi

How are the ancient Egyptians, Archimedes, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Henry Maudslay related to sound recording? There are inventions that make us wonder how anyone could have come up with such an idea. Sound recording is perhaps one of them. Considering the historical context, however, we shall observe that it was not actually such a crazy or far fetched idea, given the technology available at the time. In the late 19th century, most of the world had no access to electricity. The concept of electronic amplification would still need almost half a century to establish itself as a viable technology. Steam engines were very popular prime movers in the industry. But, even for the steam engine to become a viable reality, what was required were the appropriate machine tools, allowing the manufacture of accurate parts for a variety of purposes. By no means a recent invention, machine tools in more primitive forms have existed for many centuries. The “prehistoric lathe” is perhaps one of the earliest predecessors to the

MOTIVE CRIMINAL LAW DEFINITION Doubt as to the identity of the Wrongdoer – Motive Law gains importance only when the identity of the assailant is in doubt. As held in a long line of cases, the prosecution does not need to prove the motive in Criminal Law of the accused when the latter has been identified as the author of the crime. The defendant was absolutely known by witnesses. Example of Motive in Criminal Law Thus, the prosecution didn’t have to identify and prove the motive for the killing. It’s a matter of judicial knowledge that persons have been killed for no apparent reason at all and that friendship or even relationship is no deterrent to the commission of a crime. The lack or absence of a motive definition for committing the crime doesn’t preclude conviction where there are reliable witnesses who fully and satisfactorily identified the petitioner as the perpetrator of the felony (Kummer vs. People, GR No. 174461, September 11, 2013. Circumstantial or inconclusive evidence: Indeed, Motive in crimina

If you’re a habitual dieter and love nothing better than to beat yourself up by stepping on the scales, then the number you see rising or decreasing may have nothing to do with fat levels. It could be your body is holding onto more water than it should. This is called water retention. How do I know if I have water retention? Water retention symptoms - Swollen ankles and wrists - Puffy fingers - Big red welts round your waist when you take your trousers off later in the day - Aching joints - Indentations in your skin when you press hard Also known as oedema, it can be masking kidney or circulatory issues and you should of course consult your GP. However more often than not it is down to this simple fact. You are not drinking enough fluid. “Huh? Surely, if I’m swelling up like a balloon because I’m not drinking enough, why would I want to drink more water? Won’t that just take me from bulging to whopping? No. The less water you drink the more the body is going to hang onto what it’s got and store it up. Yes, ro

- lost sleep, - fear of failure. Encouraging children with these 7 Steps to Success for Tests can be a great opportunity to teach valuable resiliency skills that can be applied to all areas of life! - Understand The Power Of Thinking. Teaching children to understand the difference between helpful and unhelpful thinking (e.g. “I can do this”, “It will be okay”) helps children to feel calm and brave and gives them the confidence to ‘have a go’. Many children have unhelpful thoughts (e.g. “I’m going to fail”, “I can’t do this”, “It’s too hard”.) These thoughts trigger negative emotions that contribute further to the challenges and reduce resiliency. It is important that children learn to reframe unhelpful thinking into helpful thinking. Help them to see the difference between helpful and unhelpful thoughts Encourage them to reframe their thinking Display helpful thoughts and have them regularly repeat these out loud and to themselves. - Learn How To Calm Their Bodies. When children experience stressful emotions,

The Australian defence contractor, Thales Australia, will collaborate with Deakin University and the Innovative Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre (IMCRC) to develop a lightweight composite overwrap for gun barrels. The six-month, $234,023 research and development project will deliver a carbon fibre overwrap to reduce the thickness of the gun barrel, resulting in a lighter product with increased precision. Commenting on the project, Graham Evenden, Thales Australia’s director Integrated Weapons & Sensors, said the research collaboration would advance Thales’ in-country composite manufacturing capabilities. “Currently, the intermediate modulus carbon fibres suited to the overwrap are only available from overseas supply chains that face frequent disruptions. By developing these fibres on Australian soil, Thales is establishing an innovative capability that can be applied to other small arms products across civil and defence sectors,” Evenden said. “Thales will also work hand in glove with Deakin to train

Collecting and composing documents for a scholarship application can be tiresome if you don’t have proper guidance. But we live in an internet era, where problems are solved at the end of a click. The same happens when you’re strolling to find the step- by-step preparation of documents for a scholarship application. One of the mandatory documents asked mostly is a study plan that says a lot about your personality as a student. And to fulfill these high demands we’ve come up with an article that’ll definitely prove to be a lifesaver for most. Here’s our guide to the unexcelled study plan that is sure to get you through the scholarship selection. Study Plan Definition A study plan is a type of academic essay that explains your educational goals and learning strategies to the scholarship panel. It portrays how you can manage studies along with jobs and other activities. Composing a flawless study plan is necessary because it gives the reviewer and panel the idea that you can ace your studies along with extracurri

Inevitably, computers will complement or replace specific tasks otherwise performed by people, the document says. The Government will prioritise policies that ensure workers can upskill or reskill, the strategy document continues. And other interventions, including in the labour-market regulation and social-protection spheres, will be needed in order to protect workers’ interests, it adds. Within the justice sector, AI has considerable implications for ethics, human rights and the rule of law, the document points out. The Council of Europe’s ethical charter on the use of AI in judicial systems identifies suitable low-risk areas: Development of case law by linking doctrine, case law, laws and regulations, - Determination of compensation awards, - Online dispute resolution. Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to machine-based systems, with varying levels of autonomy, that can use data for human-defined objectives to make predictions, recommendations or decisions. Artificial intelligence (AI) will be at the fore

Volume 80, 2016NUMIFORM 2016: The 12th International Conference on Numerical Methods in Industrial Forming Processes |Number of page(s)||7| |Section||MS9: Modeling and numerical simulation of thixoforming processes| |Published online||24 October 2016| Cross dies forging: A new method to reduce forging force & price up to 80% thanks to FEM method 1 Iran University Science and Technology 2 FIDEC company, Director Manager, No. 13, Erfan Alley, Mirzaye Shirazi Ave, Motahari St, Tehran, Iran Purpose of this article was to introduce a new method of forging which is called “Cross Die Forging”. In this method, the required force (load) is reduced to the greatest possible degree through elimination of flash channel; however, this would also decrease the positive effect of flash channel, namely filling the gaps and pores within the mold. Cross die forging procedure provides a way for providing a better preform design which ensures that the mold is filled without allowing the material to enter the flash

Some companies seem to think a flat organisational structure is more appealing, and are doing away with middle management. But is it for everyone? There’s a bit of a buzz around flat organisational structures of late. In a flat company, there are less, or even no levels of middle management. Practically, this means lower level employees can talk to people in more senior positions without an intermediary. Elon Musk, who runs several companies, is an advocate of flat organisational structures. He has implemented one at Tesla, which he says facilitates communication and cooperation. “Anyone at Tesla can and should email/talk to anyone else according to what they think is the fastest way to solve a problem for the benefit of the whole company,” says Musk in Tesla’s communication policy. A company with a well-run flat structure can help raise the importance and effectiveness of traditionally lower ranking employees. Their good ideas don’t get lost or distorted in the management chain, according to research. It als
