Bullying is a problem many children will face as they grow up. Watch the Good Birds Club with your child to begin a conversation about bullying. Additionally, watch the Happy to Be Me Anti-Bullying Discussion videos for more about recognizing and preventing bullying.
Watch and Discuss
Sesame Street has always been a destination for parents and children to laugh, learn, and grow. Over the past 42 years, the show has focused on the whole child by addressing educational, social, emotional, health and societal issues. Many difficult topics have been addressed through the seasons, and Sesame Street has always been there to provide concrete information to parents, teachers, and caregivers by extending the lessons learned from our curriculum.
Statistics have shown that many children will encounter bullying as they grow up - either as perpetrator, victim, or observer. In the longstanding tradition of Sesame Street to address sensitive topics, we consulted with researchers and early childhood experts to develop an age-appropriate story to address the topic of bullying. In "The Good Birds Club," Big Bird is bullied by another bird in the neighborhood. The show empowers children by providing strategies for dealing with bullying, and encourages them to seek the help of a trusted adult.
Since bullying is a complex issue, we assembled a panel of experts to provide additional information for parents, teachers, and caregivers. The goal of the following discussion is to give you a clear understanding of exactly what bullying is, how you can identify the signs of bullying, and what your role as an adult is to prevent or stop bullying.
Watch the Good Birds Club together with your child and then use the questions below to start a discussion.

Every year, about 10,000 people are rushed to the emergency department for fireworks injuries. Eye doctors treat thousands of patients who suffer a range of fireworks-related injuries, from cuts and bruises to damaged corneas, retinas, and ruptured eyeballs.
Many people believe that consumer fireworks are safe. But here’s the explosive truth: Most injuries are caused by legal fireworks parents buy for their children, such as sparklers, firecrackers, bottle rockets, and Roman candles.
To help reduce the number of potentially blinding fireworks accidents this holiday, Quigley Eye Specialists and the American Academy of Ophthalmology are sharing these tips:
Wear protective eyewear when igniting fireworks:
Eye doctors recommend that every household have at least one pair of ANSI-approved protective eyewear. Stop by any hardware store and pick up some safety glasses for the entire family.
Don’t pick up duds and misfires:
When a lit firework didn’t explode, Javonte McNair, 14, walked over and picked it up. The “dud” exploded, severing his hand and blasting hot debris into his eye, causing severe damage to his cornea. Keep a hose and buckets of water on hand for duds and misfires. Soak the dud from a distance with a hose or a bucket of water. Pick it up with a shovel and fully submerge it in a bucket of water to ensure it’s safe for disposal.
Keep a safe distance:
Bystanders are injured by fireworks as often as the operator. Stacy Young was 100 yards away when an illegal firework sent shrapnel. Ophthalmologists couldn’t save her eye. It had to be removed.
Supervise children closely:
Sparklers seem like harmless fun for the kids, but they are responsible for about 1,400 eye injuries each year. Even those tiny poppers or snappers can pose dangers. A ricocheting popper burned parts of five-year-old Nolan Haney’s eye and eyelid.
Celebrate with the pros:
The Fourth can be complete without using consumer fireworks. Quigley Eye Specialists and the Academy advise that the safest way to view fireworks is to watch a professional show.
If you experience a fireworks eye injury, eye doctors urge you to minimize the damage to the eye:
- Seek medical attention immediately
- Do not rub the eye. Rubbing may make the injury worse
- Do not attempt to rinse the eye
- Do not apply pressure to the eye
- Do not remove objects from the eye
- Do not apply ointments or take pain medications before seeking medical help.
To learn more ways to keep your eyes healthy, visit www.QuigleyEye.com or the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s EyeSmart® website.

The story of "Jack and the Beanstalk" seems to be an amalgamation of many of the giant-killing stories such as "Jack the Giant Killer" (which has its links to Arthurian lore), and the tale of "The Brave Little Tailor".Jack and his widowed mother are a poor family with nothing to their name but the family cow. When the last of their money finally runs out Jack's mother sends him into town to sell their cow at the local village. On the way, however, Jack meets a mysterious stranger who offers him five magic beans in exchange for the cow. Jack accepts the offer and brings the beans home to his mother. Needless to say she is furious and throws the beans out the window. Overnight the beans grow into a massive beanstalk that stretches onwards up into the clouds. Jack decides to climb the beanstalk and when he reaches the top finds a massive castle. He sneaks into the castle to find that it is the home to a Giant, who says:
I smell the blood of an Englishman.
Be he 'live, or be he dead,
I'll grind his bones to make my bread.
This folk tale provides examples of:
- Adapted Out: A lot of adaptations tend to leave the Giant's wife out.
- Anti-Hero: However you look at it, the protagonist goes from gullible fool to thief to killer (albeit in self-defense) over the course of the story.
- Deconstruction: Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods, Brian Henson's Jack and the Beanstalk: The Real Story and (briefly) Terry Pratchett's Hogfather all have a go at Jack.
- Disney Villain Death: Jack kills the Giant by cutting down the beanstalk, making the Giant fall to his death.
- Floating Continent: The Giant's cloud castle.
- Giant Food: Whatever the giant's wife feeds him qualifies.
- I'm a Humanitarian: Perhaps the giant and the witch from "Hansel and Gretel" swap recipes.
- Mysterious Benefactor: The man with the beans.
- The Nose Knows: For most of the tale, the giant's sole indication Jack is there is his scent.
- Our Giants Are Bigger: This variety of giant lives in gravity-defying castles in the clouds.
- Rule of Three: Gold, Goose and Harp.
- Space Elevator: The magic beanstalk.
- Wealthy Ever After: Jack's happy ending entails getting (or reclaiming) riches from his adventure.
Adaptations with their own trope pages include:
- Jack and the Beanstalk: The Real Story
- Into the Woods, a Stephen Sondheim musical that combines it with several other fairy stories
- Fun and Fancy Free: The Disney version, with a certain mouse playing the part of Jack.
- Jack to Mame no Ki: Anime version of the story from the late '70s.
- Puss in Boots: The Shrek Spin-Off has Puss involved in a plot to get the magic beans and use them to get the goose that lays gold eggs.
- Although not a true adaptation, this Jack is a supporting character and love interest in Rapunzel's Revenge.
- Alluded to in the Green Bean Casserole episode of Good Eats. The Giant is upset with Alton, but is appeased by Alton's casserole. Apparently, the Giant is also something of a Henpecked Husband.
- The 2013 film Jack the Giant Slayer.
- The original Harvest Moon game had a part where you could grow a giant beanstalk. This led to fans calling the protagonist, and almost every other male protagonist, "Jack" — despite the fact that his Canon Name is "Pete".
- Fragments of the tale appear in Once Upon a Time, where Prince Charming and a gender-bent Jack climb the beanstalk in order to rob the giants and kill them all and the last surviving giant is a human-enthusiast. The Beanstalk still stands in the middle of the enchanted forest long after the events of the tale have passed.
- The Doctor Who Expanded Universe book Time Lord Fairy Tales retells this as "Jack and the Wormhole", in which Jack is more of a straight-up hero as the story is also a Twice-Told Tale retelling of the Fourth Doctor serial "The Horns of Nimon".
- Jack is also the title character in the sixth Dark Parables game, Jack and the Sky Kingdom, which paints him as something of a Robin Hood-wannabe and a Lovable Rogue. He assists the Fairy Tale Detective in getting to the Sky Kingdom via the beanstalk, as he left something rather important there when he went treasure hunting there ten years earlier. That something would be his fiancee, Emma. Like all of the Dark Parables, the story connects multiple fairy tales; in this case, Jack's story is joined to that of Rumpelstiltskin and also Tom Thumb. He later returns to also be part of the action in the tenth game, Goldilocks and the Fallen Star.
- Nursery Crime's hero Jack Sprat is a "Person of Dubious Reality (PDR)" who is both the giant killer and the Jack Sprat who "ate no fat," which he has kept secret from his family and friends. When asked why his role spans two nursery rhymes, he says that it's a matter of economy. Throughout the book he also regularly points out that only one of the giants he killed was an actual giant; the rest were just tall.

Vivendi opens to the majority of the state in the Tim network. “We certainly aim to put Tim back on a growth trajectory. The ongoing evaluations focus on this objective. Vivendi is interested in any solution that promotes the efficiency and infrastructural modernity of the network, while preserving the value of its investment. In this perspective – declares a spokesman for the French group – the hypothesis of state control of the network, if it were preparatory to an institutional-led strategic project, will certainly be evaluated with openness “.
Vivendi “has already represented its firm intention to be a reliable, long-term shareholder, a harbinger of a constructive dialogue aimed at strengthening Tim, with the aim of working alongside Italian institutions in the interest of all shareholders and others Tim’s stakeholder »reiterates a spokesperson for Vivendi.
“The priority of all Tim’s stakeholders is to go back to seeing the company at the center of development and innovation strategies and protagonist, with its best resources, on the telecommunications market”. “It is a question of combining the necessary technological innovation paths for the country with the enhancement of resources and the relaunch of one of the most important Italian groups” he concludes.
Vivendi’s stance comes in the midst of the dynamics linked to Kkr’s bid for control of Tim: Vivendi had recently expressed negative views on the American fund’s bid, judging it to be insufficient.
According to reports from the Bloomberg agency (citing Il Messaggero), Vivendi is working with Cassa Depositi e Prestiti on a plan to revive the fortunes of Telecom Italia that is not based on Kkr. The leaders of the two companies met recently and are expected to meet again soon to develop their common strategy.
Cassa Depositi is the second shareholder of the telephone operator with 9.8%, after Vivendi with 24%, according to Bloomberg data.

One person was killed, and several were injured, when a van drove into pedestrians near Finsbury Park Mosque, north London, in the early hours of Monday morning, according to a report in CNN.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan described the collision as a “horrific terrorist attack” in a statement.
“We don’t yet know the full details, but this was clearly a deliberate attack on innocent Londoners, many of whom were finishing prayers during the holy month of Ramadan,” Khan said.
“While this appears to be an attack on a particular community, like the terrible attacks in Manchester, Westminster and London Bridge it is also an assault on all our shared values of tolerance, freedom and respect.”
Khan said Metropolitan Police were deploying extra officers to “reassure communities, especially those observing Ramadan.”
“My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected. I am grateful to our emergency services, who responded quickly and have been working on the scene throughout the night.
It also comes in the same month as the June 3 terror attack on London Bridge and the nearby Borough Market in which eight people were killed after three men in a van rammed into pedestrians on before going on a stabbing spree.
British Prime Minister Theresa May says the collision was being treated as a potential terrorist attack, CNN quoted the Press Association as saying.
“I will chair an emergency meeting later this morning. All my thoughts are with the victims, their families and the emergency services on the scene,” May said, according to the PA.
Police said in a statement that one man was pronounced dead at the scene.
“Eight people injured were taken to three separate hospitals; two people were treated at the scene for minor injuries,” police said in a statement.
The Counter Terrorism Command is running the investigation.
The driver of the van, a 48-year-old man, was found at the scene being held by members of the public and was then arrested.
Though witnesses have said they saw two people from inside the van flee the scene, police said that no other suspects have been identified so far, but noted that the investigation was ongoing.
The detained suspect was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure, but would be taken into custody once discharged, the statement said. He will also be given a mental health assessment “in due course.”
Attacks and harassment of Muslims in London have been on the rise since recent terror attacks, community leader Abjol Miah told CNN’s Phil Black at the scene.
“Innocent people have been abused. Even my daughter, when she was on the Tube, she was harassed. We have to live with all this,” Miah said.
When asked what Londoners need to do to prevent anti-Muslim activity, Miah stressed the need for unity.
“We’re not going to allow any forms of extremism to divide us,” he said.
Police have said that the counter terrorism command is investigating the incident.
Call to increase security outside mosques
The Muslim Council of Britain, an advocacy group for the Muslim community, has released a statement calling on authorities to increase security outside mosques. The statement calls the incident a “terror attack” that targeted ordinary British citizens going about their lives.
Police told CNN it’s too early to determine if this was a terror attack. The statement also urged calm as the “investigation establishes the full facts.”
Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Labour Party, said he was “totally shocked at the incident” in a statement released on Twitter.
Corbyn represents North Islington in Parliament, the district in which the incident took place.
At the scene
CNN’s Ian Lee has is near the scene and says there’s a heavy police presence and many ambulances and fire trucks.
“When I got to the scene, there were a lot of people gathering here — a lot of local people trying to figure out what happened.”
One eyewitness told Lee he was “inches away” from the incident. A group of people were gathered when a van came in and hit a number of people — at least five — the witness said.
“It’s unclear if the driver of the van tried to get out or if the people were able to pull him out of the van, but what the eyewitness told me is that locals were able to apprehend him very quickly — and this is a man, according to the eyewitness — and were able to hand him over to police, where he was then arrested,” Lee said.
“It didn’t seem like he was trying to stop,” Lee said the witness told him. “He (the witness) said he heard this van accelerate into this group of people.”
The borough of Islington, where both the mosque and welfare house are located, is home to nearly 20,000 Muslims — or about 9 percent of its population — according to data from the 2013 census. The borough’s northern part is represented in Parliament by Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Labour Party.


Fiji's Attorney general, Qoriniasi Bale, says he has not made a recommendation on what course of action should be taken over the office of vice-president.
Convicted on coup-related charges, vice-president, Ratu Jope Seniloli is to remain in jail, probably until at least November, after the Appeal Court turned down his bail application this week.
The Great Council of Chiefs is the appointing body of the president and the vice-president but its chairman, Ratu Ovini Bokini, has been reported as saying that he is awaiting advice from the attorney-general.
However, Mr Bale says he has not finalised advice on the issue, and any recommendations he has made to the Chiefs and the President are not for public consumption.
"I have not in fact recommended anything at all at this stage because the appeals by the persons involved, including the vice-president, have not been exhausted yet and therefore there are a number of unknown quantities that need to settled first before that issue can be settled."

Record Profit Revealed By Lancashire
A record pre-tax profit of £747,370 has been announced by Lancashire for last year.
Turnover was down on the previous year at £11.7 million, which came as no surprise after England's Ashes win on home soil in 2005.
"The most encouraging aspect of the accounts is that our net debt has now been reduced to £463,000, having stood at £3.1million only two years ago,'' said honorary treasurer David Hodgkiss in his report.
"The coming year will again be more challenging than the last. The general trading environment continues to be increasingly challenging and, more specifically, the hosting of cricket is becoming more and more expensive, particularly international matches.
"It will therefore be difficult to sustain these results at current levels. However, the club remains optimistic about the future and will continue to look to improve its business operations and facilities.''
The encouraging report comes just days after Lancashire announced plans for the regeneration of Old Trafford.

Euromoney Middle East Awards for Excellence 2018 winners revealed
Emirates NBD wins award for the Middle East’s best bank; Citi scoops regional investment banking category; winners demonstrate commitment to areas such as digital transformation, SME lending and corporate social responsibility across the region.
Bankers from across the Middle East gathered to attend the Euromoney Middle East Awards for Excellence dinner at Grosvenor House Hotel in Dubai on Tuesday.
The awards recognized banks that stood out during a year when it became clear that reform in the Middle East is not just about dynastic change. Across the region, banks are adapting to changing economic conditions, while activity in the capital markets remains robust with the promise of much more to come.
Dubai’s Emirates NBD was named the Middle East’s best bank.
Euromoney said: “The success of Emirates NBD owes much to its forward thinking in recent years, as it strove to ready itself for the future by completely revamping its digital offering. Last year the bank completed its five-year digital transformation.
“The changes introduced in 2017 included paperless personal loan applications and account openings, a new online banking platform, face-to-face conversations online with a financial adviser, voice recognition for phone banking, access to Apple and Samsung Pay, and the integration of blockchain technology into cheques.

Broken or Chipped Tooth
CRACK!… and a Piece of Tooth is Missing
It happens when you least expect it. You are eating and you suddenly feel something hard in your mouth that does not seem right. A piece of tooth or an old filling just detached. Once the broken piece is cleared away, your tongue will obsessively move to the broken area, guaranteed!
Most of the tooth or filling has broken off, leaving a large opening, or gap, where the tooth initially stood.
A small piece of enamel has broken off, usually at the tip of a front tooth or side of a back tooth.
What to do?
- Rinse your mouth with salted water.
- Do not eat anything hard.
- If the break caused a sharp edge that cuts into your tongue or cheek, call our urgent care dentists for immediate help.
- In any case, call our clinic as soon as possible.

In 1982, on the initiative of the fishermen, a refrigeration plant was set up for products from the Sétoise fishery. In 1991, an extension of land reclaimed from the sea was built to accommodate those involved in the fishing industry and to support shellfish production at sea. To meet the needs of local stakeholders, particularly oyster and shellfish farmers, a pipeline has been installed to supply raw seawater.
Since its total refurbishment in 2015, the Port of Sète – Frontignan’s halieutic activity zone offers spaces and services specially designed for seafood-related activities.
The business park enjoys exceptional geographical advantages, located at the heart of the Sète-Frontignan port network, in the immediate vicinity of the commercial port with its regular shipping routes to Africa and its 42 km of rail lines, and the fishing port, a historic Mediterranean port with its fish auction.
The business park is at the epicenter of the Mediterranean’s major goods flows, with direct access to the main roads leading to the whole of Europe.
The 18-hectare platform is divided into developed plots ranging from 3,000 to 33,500 m2. The zone brings together complementary companies covering a broad spectrum of fishing activities: shellfish farmers, fishmongers, canners, aquaculturists, fishermen and cold logistics freighters.
Since 2015, the business park has enjoyed a new lease of life thanks to a complete overhaul of the common areas with :
Located on the public maritime domain, Port Sud de France allocates the available lots under a long-term occupancy agreement with real rights to the buildings.
All available lots have been landscaped (earthworks, fencing, secure access with gates) and serviced.
The major advantage of the Frontignan fishing zone is that it can supply structures with raw seawater.
Pumped seawater must be treated by the user in a manner appropriate to his activity.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) is caused by compression of nerves or blood vessels, or both, as a result of trauma, disease or congenital deformity in the thoracic outlet between the clavicle and first rib. Treatment begins with exercises to stretch and open the tissues associated with the thoracic outlet. If symptoms persist, surgery is an option. The surgeon makes an incision above the clavicle and removes scalene muscles, along with the first rib, easing pressure on the brachial plexus nerves. About 80 percent of patients experience complete resolution of symptoms; 20 percent report significant improvement.
What is TOS:
TOS affects the space between the collarbone and the first rib, where blood vessels and/or nerves in the area are compressed. There are three types of TOS:
- Arterial TOS is compression of the subclavian artery which causes decreased blood flow to the arm
- Venous TOS is compression the subclavian vein and can lead to swelling and venous clot formation
- Neurogenic TOS is compression of a group of nerves called the brachial plexus and can cause nerve damage, pain, and tingling in the arm and shoulder.

Today we are featuring Julie Bowman who loves independent worldwide travel and immersing herself into the local culture, trying the local foods, visiting unusual local sights and bringing plenty of mementoes home!
Eating in Greece is a fantastic way to learn about the culture and the people as there here there is a really strong emphasis on family and dining is an extension of those beliefs. When in Greece, a traveller can expect to eat dinner very late as many restaurants open at 9:00 pm (don’t worry, most of the tourist restaurants operate longer opening hours) and the meal usually lasts until midnight or later. It is wise to eat snacks throughout the day so you are not starving hungry by dinnertime!
Greek food is an interesting blend of Mediterranean influences, with a bit of Italian and Arabic backgrounds thrown in for good measure. The main things that anyone can order with confidence (due to their huge popularity in the west) are things like Moussaka which is minced lamb and eggplant (aubergine), which is usually baked and served with rice. Another well-known Greek sandwich type food is Gyros (pronounced heroes), which is usually thinly sliced meat on a skewer that has been slow cooked and placed on pitta bread with a cucumber lemon sauce and thinly sliced tomatoes and onions. Another tasty item that visitors can try is known as Stifado, which is a hearty stew made from veal and it is usually made in a base of red wine sauce.
An item that will seem to be somewhat familiar to travellers is a form of Greek lasagne known as Pastiso. Another fabulous choice is spaghetti made with lobster sauce. Try spanakopita, which is a popular dish locally and is a type of spinach pie made with very thin layered filo dough pasty with feta cheese. A fantastic end to a meal is Baklava, which is a traditional Greek dessert made with filo dough and nuts that have been soaked in honey and sometimes with a honey cinnamon sauce, always a sweet ending without being overwhelming (unless you pack too many away).
When eating out in Greece, visitors can expect the use of a variety of local dairy products and farm products as the Greek are rightfully proud of their produce. Expect the heavy use of goats cheese, feta cheese and haloumi in many meals, after all Greece is the world’s biggest consumer of cheese! Another kitchen staple is olive oil, tomato paste and freshly squeezed lemon.
The types of restaurants found in Greece range from very casual dining spots known as Tavernas, to the more formal Estiatorio, which are sit-down restaurants with tablecloths and a slightly higher price tag to boot. The drinks and food can flow for hours and since it is customary to take up to three hours to consume a meal, visitors should embrace the laid back culture and enjoy the experience. One interesting custom when dining in a formal Estiatorio type restaurant is that visitors will often be asked to visit the kitchens to choose what they will eat.
As far as drink goes, Greeks as a rule rarely drink beer, preferring instead liquor known as Ouzo, the national drink of Greece which is sweet and tastes of aniseed. Commonly wine is the drink of choice to be served with dinner. There is no drinking age limit in Greece, so often young children will be found drinking with adults.
Perhaps one of the strangest foods to be found in Greece is tripe soup, which is made from the stomachs of cows and another odd soup known as cow lung soup, which is self-explanatory! For the extremely adventurous, there is a treat known as sea squirt. Sea squirt resembles a rock and when it’s cut open; the insides are pulled out and eaten, dripping! Make sure you’ve packed your indigestion tablets on your adventure trip!
For snacks on the run, there are pie stands which feature a fantastic variety of pies from feta cheese pies, with or without spinach, and sweet pies such as a version of pumpkin pie and vanilla custard pies. The smell from these pie stands entice visitors daily! Souvlaki shops are also found on almost every street corner for a quick and filling pick me up while shopping or running errands. For the most part, Greek food is amazingly tasty and will create fond memories that travellers can recreate once home.

The auto insurance with military discount is well known to many people living in the states. The state of Louisiana has passed a law stating the insurers having office in the state must offer 25% discounts to all Military personnel. However, this is only for one state. Not all insurers have this rule to follow in the rest of the country. The active Military personnel drivers can purchase any liability insurance policy in the state of Louisiana to cover the vehicle owned by them. The insurer must provide the requisite discount stated by the law to these drivers and car owners. The discount offered by the insurer is reimbursed by the state through tax credit.
The Military personnel can have car insurance with military discount by
shopping around for the right company. The people who watch television daily
have seen plenty of the auto commercials. Any insurance company is in the
market to get customers business. According to business estimates these
companies spend anywhere $250 to $500 for new customers. The insurance
companies need to spend only about 10-20% of these amounts to retain their old
customers. The new consumers as well as the old consumers can benefits if they
bargain with the auto insurance companies for their rates.
The auto insurance with military discount can be made cheap with the consumers having the bargaining power. The car owners with a good driving record can get quotes from the other auto insurance companies. They can use these quotes to reduce their insurance cost with their present auto insurance providers. The increased number of auto insurance companies throughout the country has to be very competitive in order to retain their own customers. The internet has come into effect and help people find out other insurance providers that would be more than willing to give them better rates.
The car insurance with military discount can
be got after comparing a few quotes. The customers of a particular insurance
provider need not worry about being disloyal customers. It is much better for
them not to blindly trust their insurance companies at the time of their policy
renewals. The inquiries and genuine quotes from other national and competitive
insurance providers can serve to get competitive rates from the present auto insurance
company. The Military personnel or veterans can get discounts from the 3
companies that have been especially established to serve the Military
personnel. The USAA, GEICO and the Armed Forces Insurance are the 3 companies
that cater to the Military personnel with reduced rates.
These 3 companies came into existence because the private insurance providers were unwilling to take the risk of the Military personnel. The Military personnel looking for military or veteran discounts can get many online quotes from the auto insurance companies. The new or latest makes and models have been equipped with standard equipment like rear view blind spot sensors and rear view cameras. This reduces the events of an accident which in turn is reason enough to get lower rates on the auto insurance.

I got to know about TravelTriangle weekend getaways via facebook advertisement. We were looking for a weekend trip for four friends that would’ve been both pocket friendly and time friendly since we couldn’t get many leaves from work.
Despite being our second time traveling with TravelTriangle, the coordinators were very helpful. Navneet guided me through the booking process patiently and made sure all my doubts and concerns were addressed.
Day 0: Breaking the ice with a warm welcome

We assembled at Vishwavidyalaya metro station and then left for Chail in a bus at 10pm.
All the anxiety we had for social awkwardness on our weekend trip to Chail went away pretty fast thanks to the trip coordinators. They introduced themselves and made sure the group mingled well, and soon enough strangers became friends.
Day 1: Roaming around the places to visit in Chail
The comfort of the bus journey was incredible. We stopped by at Solan at 7am to enjoy the stunning view of the hills, just after sunrise. Later on, we arrived at the United 21 hotel at 9 am. We checked into the hotel, had breakfast and settled into our rooms. The view from my hotel balcony was stunning. I was already loving the place with the views we were getting on a bright and sunny day. After resting we had lunch and quickly got ready for the sightseeing tour in Chail.

We began covering the places to visit in Chail with the magnificent Chail Palace. A building made in the British era that defined luxury and class. Next up, we took blessing from the almighty from the Kali ka tibba temple. We enjoyed playing with the snow over there, as the temple was located at an altitude and a lot the snowfall was fresh.
We returned to the hotel at 7 pm which was promptly followed with dinner and bonfire. A few interesting conversations around the bonfire meant, it was a warm and cozy end to our first day of our weekend trip to Chail.
Day 2: Horse riding in Kufri
The next day at 9 am, we checked out from the hotel and moved towards Kufri. It took us an hour and 30 mins by road to arrive in Kufri. The following few hours were my best moments of my weekend trip to Chail.
Kufri being located at a higher altitude meant there was plenty of snow and picturesque views of the entire valley. We arrived in Kufri at 11 am and soon after, we proceeded to try some horse riding. We rode to one of the most popular sightseeing places in Kufri called snow point.

At snow point, we ate maggi that tasted even more delicious with all the cold weather and hunger. I also managed to spot tube rides in the snow, and I couldn’t keep myself away from the thrill of gliding down the snow. We departed from Kufri at 3 pm and made a stoppage at Shimla at 5 pm. The coordinators gave us a few hours of exploring and things to do in Shimla. We finally got free from Shimla at 8 pm and departed for New Delhi.
Looking back at our weekend trip to Chail, I was very happy with the outcome. Except a few minor kinks like food, everything was nicely organized. A weekend filled with horse rides, snowmen, maggi, tube rides, and yaks. We spent some great time with each other and made new friends.
- The day spent in Kufri was memorable.
- A personal favorite of mine was building that snowman in Kufri.
- The food at the hotel wasn’t good at all.
Tips to travelers:
- Prices for things to do and adventure activities may seem overprice in Kufri, but they are definitely worth the money and time invested.

Revelation 21:2-4 – I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." (NIV)
At this time of year, I often think of November 11, 1994, when my husband and I were travelling in Belgium. "Overcast," I wrote in my diary. "This morning we decided to go to the Remembrance service in Yprés. On the way we passed the Irish Gate Cemetery. A towering white cross stood in the centre of what was once a farmer's field, where 'bravely singing larks' still swooped among the white grave markers.
"When we arrived in Yprés, people, each with his or her own memories, were gathering in the area of the large British War Monument. We joined them in front of the archway leading to a series of stone walls engraved with the names, countries and ranks of 136,000 soldiers from the four corners of the British Empire.
"As I lifted my eyes to the hint of sun trying bravely to pierce the grey sky, I said a prayer of thanks for my freedom and a prayer for peace for others who suffer oppression in various war-torn countries around the world."
Today when I think of the Flanders Fields and the row upon row of crosses, I am reminded of another cross on a hill called Mount Calvary. I am reminded of the supreme sacrifice made in the battle of all battles fought for the salvation of my soul. In the silence of this November's Remembrance service I'll pause and take some time for reflection; will you? "Lest we forget."
- Lead me to Calvary
King of my life I crown thee now,
Thine will the glory be;
Lest I forget thy thorn-crowned brow,
Lead me to Calvary.
Lest I forget Gethsemane;
Lest I forget Thine agony;
Lest I forget Thy love for me,
Lead me to Calvary.
Prayer: Dear God, I pray for peace for the war-torn countries of our world. Help me never to take for granted the sacrifices made for my freedom. But above all, thank you for the sacrifice your Son Jesus made on Calvary. Amen.

i dont think i'd be an abusive parent but one of the reasons i dont want to have kids is because i feel like i wouldn't know how to be the best parent. i feel like i'd cuss in front of them, talk to them about serious matters at an age too early and scar them emotionally or something, get annoyed fast because kids are so energetic and not always be there for them (like i'll just want to lay down while they play by themselves and do random things), and i wouldn't sugar coat things. like if they asked where do babies come from, i'd tell them the truth no matter how old they are.
At first I found this question weird... because I never genuinely thought that if I became a Mum someday, I wouldn't ever be abusive.
I've babysat and it never crosses my mind to slap the baby because he wouldn't stop crying. I just sit there thinking I'll be a bad parent because I don't know how to calm a crying child.
I worry about being a bad parent, not an abusive one.
I'll say it honestly here that I've never heard of people worrying about not having kids because they would be abusive until now.
Umm no. Not even in a bad dream could I harm a child.
Like legitimately abusive. As in beating your kid for no reason.
Or "abusive" like spanking your kid when naughty and people call it "abusive"
I don't fucking like kids. I don't even like the kids my age. My kids would hate me. Especially the boys.. My biggest fear is having a pussified son. Oh, and the way kids are growing up nowadays? Hah.
One of the many reasons. I really don't like kids and my temper is awful, plus I'm pretty selfish, so I feel there's the danger of that.
But before that there's all the many reasons I just don't like kids (I want kids to have happy lives and be well cared for and all that, I just don't like hanging out with them).
And the money involved - it costs so so much to raise a kid and I'd rather have a comfortable lifestyle and go on nice holidays and be able to help out friends and family and charities and all that.
Plus I never want to go through pregnancy and birth because of all the horrific pain, possibility of post partum depression, and because I like my body how it is (for the most part)
Plus I want to be able to sleep at night, and have sex without worrying about kids walking in on me and my partner, and go out whenever I want without having to consider babysitters or worry about bringing kids with me.
Basically, I'm the eldest of 4; I see all my siblings, and I see what my Mum's life is like, and I think 'not for me'
It makes sense to me and it also means they're responsible.
If I knew I would be like my parents (abusive), I also would choose to not have kids.
I know I wouldn't be a good mother and that's why I don't want to have kids. But I don't think I would be abusive.
So, this is not my reason.
I've worried that.
Or that with my family background, my kid could be a cruel or violent person through genetics.
I'd beat the shit out of my kids because I know they'll be super annoying, and a daughter? Oh boy, I'd fuck up any guy she'd try to date in her teenage years

Perhaps no event in American history arouses more impassioned debate than the abolition of slavery. Answers to basic questions about who ended slavery, how, and why remain fiercely contested more than a century and a half after the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment. In The Long Emancipation, Ira Berlin draws upon decades of study to offer a framework for understanding slavery’s demise in the United States. Freedom was not achieved in a moment, and emancipation was not an occasion but a near-century-long process—a shifting but persistent struggle that involved thousands of men and women.
Berlin teases out the distinct characteristics of emancipation, weaving them into a larger narrative of the meaning of American freedom. The most important factor was the will to survive and the enduring resistance of enslaved black people themselves. In striving for emancipation, they were also the first to raise the crucial question of their future status. If they were no longer slaves, what would they be? African Americans provided the answer, drawing on ideals articulated in the Declaration of Independence and precepts of evangelical Christianity. Freedom was their inalienable right in a post-slavery society, for nothing seemed more natural to people of color than the idea that all Americans should be equal.
African Americans were not naive about the price of their idealism. Just as slavery was an institution initiated and maintained by violence, undoing slavery also required violence. Freedom could be achieved only through generations of long and brutal struggle.

After a year-long pilot project, Royal Bank of Canada has officially opened its robo-adviser platform to all investors, making it the second major Canadian bank to build its own online portfolio manager.
RBC InvestEase Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of RBC, announced on Thursday the national launch of its robo-adviser. Investors with a minimum of $1,000 can open an RBC InvestEase account online. Clients can choose from tax-free savings accounts, registered retirement savings plans and non-registered accounts.
Robo-adviser platforms, also known as online portfolio managers, offer clients an online risk-assessment tool that quickly calculates an appropriate asset allocation based on age, financial goals and risk tolerance. The results provide clients with a recommended investment portfolio predominantly made up of exchange-traded funds – with much lower fees than those usually offered by traditional financial advisers.
“Canadians told us they are looking for a new way to invest that fits into their busy lifestyles. They want a convenient automated advice solution that is available whenever they are ready to get started,” said Stuart Rutledge, senior vice-president, personal savings and investments at RBC, in a statement. “They also told us they want to be hands-off, with experts making decisions for them, and easy access to an expert, if needed.”
Upon completing an investment questionnaire, RBC InvestEase clients will be matched to one of five “risk profiles,” ranging from very conservative to aggressive growth. Each portfolio of ETFs will include between five to seven RBC index funds developed by RBC Global Asset Management. Fees for the RBC InvestEase platform are competitive – charging 0.5 per cent a year in management fees on investment balances (those fees are being waived until October, 2019, for those investors who sign up before March 31). In addition, there will be underlying fees between 0.1 per cent to 0.17 per cent for the ETFs held in a client’s portfolio.
RBC first entered the online portfolio management space in November, 2018, when the bank established an employee pilot program. Several months later, the bank expanded the pilot to include select RBC clients in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan. With 15 robo-advisers already operating in Canada, the banks have been slow to adopt the fast-paced financial technology used by many of the existing players.
“We know there is a big segment of the market that is not being served because they find investing too complicated, or intimidating or they believe they don’t have enough money,” said Rebecca Peacock, senior director of strategy at RBC InvestEase. “But we wanted to take the time to get it right. We wanted to do the research, understand our client base and get feedback along the way and adjust the product so that it fit the target market we want to serve.”
Launching into the online digital space for banks is also a difficult balancing act, as robo-advisers are typically considered an alternative to traditional wealth managers – divisions that are key growth areas within the banks.
“Independent digital wealth advice firms are in many ways better positioned to attract customers because they are more nimble than the banks when it comes to modern marketing practices,” said Josh Book, CEO and founder of ParameterInsights Inc., a financial-services research and consulting firm. “As well, the independents have an opportunity to truly distinguish from what consumers perceive as just another big bank offer that costs money.”
Bank of Montreal was the first Canadian bank to enter the robo-adviser market in 2016, with the launch of BMO SmartFolio, a digital platform that, like RBC, uses only its own proprietary ETFs.
Earlier this year, Toronto-Dominion Bank signed a licensing agreement with Hydrogen Technology Corp., a New York-based fintech company, to enhance its current discount brokerage, TD WebBroker, and announced it has plans to launch a robo-adviser service in late 2019 with its own ETF products.
The majority of the independent online portfolio managers in Canada, such as Wealthsimple Financial Inc., WealthBar Financial Services Inc. and Nest Wealth Asset Management Inc., include a mix of ETF products from various providers.
While the banks have the strength in brand recognition standing behind them, the push of proprietary products on their platform can be viewed as a disadvantage, says Tea Nicola, CEO of WealthBar, which has $275-million in assets under management.
“While the banks entering the industry is certainly a good thing to raise awareness around the model, the banks do not have the true objectivity towards consumers,” Ms. Nicola said in an interview. “That will be seen as a disadvantage by some consumers who prefer to retain services with a portfolio manager that has objectivity, and retains a level of independence.”

Known activators of the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor γ (PPARγ), thiazolidinediones (TZD) induce apoptosis in a variety of cancer cells through dependent and/or independent mechanisms of the receptor. We tested a panel of TZD (Rosiglitazone, Pioglitazone, Ciglitazone) to shed light on their potential therapeutic effects on three cervical cancer cell lines (HeLa, Ca Ski, C-33 A). In these cells, only ciglitazone triggered apoptosis through PPARγ-independent mechanisms and in particular via both extrinsic and intrinsic pathways in Ca Ski cells containing Human PapillomaVirus (HPV) type 16. It also inhibits cervical cancer xenograft development in nude mice. Ciglitazone kills cervical cancer cells by activating death receptor signalling pathway, caspase cascade and BH3 interacting-domain death agonist (Bid) cleavage through the up-regulation of Death Receptor 4 (DR4)/DR5 and soluble and membrane-bound TNF related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL). Importantly, the drug let TRAIL-resistant Ca Ski cells to respond to TRAIL through the downregulation of cellular FLICE-Like Inhibitory Protein (c-FLIP) level. For the first time, we revealed that ciglitazone is able to decrease E6 viral oncoprotein expression known to block TRAIL pathway and this was associated with cell death. Our results highlight the capacity of ciglitazone to restore TRAIL sensitivity and to prevent E6 blocking action to induce apoptosis in cervical cancer cells.

Phil Jones in action for Manchester United
Jones has been in and out of the Red Devils first team this term.
The 23-year-old played alongside Ferdinand for three seasons at Old Trafford.
And Jones insists he learned a lot from Ferdinand during their time together.
“Rio just talked sense. Every time I spoke to him he just talked sense, whether it was about me, about the team or just things in general life,” Jones told the club’s official website.
“Everything he said I listened to and I understood everything about what he was trying to say. He explained everything.
“He was a great go-to man when you needed some help with things. His leadership qualities, his calmness and his overall game were top class.
Phil Jones claims he learned a lot playing alongside Rio Ferdinand (pictured)
“When he was at his peak he was one of the best in the world, if not the best.”
Meanwhile, Ferdinand has pulled out of David Beckham’s charity match in aid of UNICEF tomorrow which will be played at Old Trafford.

Spray cans may be helping to build something big over the Indian Ocean: a massive cloud of pollution.
An international group of scientists said Wednesday that they've spied a huge pollution cloud hovering over the Indian Ocean.
A dense, brown haze of pollution hangs over the ocean, the scientists said, covering over 100 million square kilometers -- roughly the area of the continental United States.
See also: Chilly Forecast- - - - - -
"The entire hydrological cycle is being perturbed," said V. Ramanathan, one of the chief scientists who participated in a six-week study conducted earlier this year.
"If you cut the amount of sunlight going into the ocean, you will also impact the amount of moisture evaporating from the sea surface either regionally or globally and, consequently, the amount of rainfall that will be generated," he said.
The scientists are members of INDOEX, a US$25 million, National Science Foundation-sponsored research project investigating how aerosol particles are transported through the atmosphere and how they affect climate change.
They have detected growing emissions from the rapidly emerging economies in the regions near the Indian Ocean, the group said.
High concentrations of aerosol particles are primarily to blame for the cloud. In addition to aerosols, the cloud contains relatively high concentrations of gases, including carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide. The presence of the gases helped to establish the cloud's origin from pollution rather than from natural phenomena.
The 2-billion-plus populations of Asia and the Indian subcontinent are producing huge quantities of pollutants that move over the Indian Ocean during the Northern Hemisphere's winter.
In contrast to the "brighter" pollution that hovers over North America and Europe, the newly discovered cloud's particles are dark.

In the rapidly evolving world of web design, staying ahead of the curve is crucial for success. With each passing year, new trends, technologies, and user expectations emerge, making it imperative for web designers to adapt and acquire the latest skills. In 2023, the role of a web designer extends beyond just creating visually appealing websites. To excel in this field, you need a diverse skill set that encompasses design, development, and digital marketing. In this blog, we’ll explore the top 5 must-have skills to become a web designer in 2023, while also delving into the importance of proactive digital strategies and the role of effective digital marketing agencies.
1. Responsive Web Design
In 2023, responsive web design remains an absolute must for web designers. With the proliferation of smartphones, tablets, and various screen sizes, ensuring that your websites look and function seamlessly on all devices is crucial. A responsive design adapts to the user’s screen size and orientation, providing an optimal viewing experience. This not only improves user satisfaction but also boosts SEO rankings, as search engines like Google prioritize mobile-friendly websites.
2. User Experience (UX) Design
User experience is at the heart of web design in 2023. Beyond aesthetics, web designers must focus on creating intuitive and user-friendly interfaces. A well-designed UX enhances user engagement, reduces bounce rates, and ultimately drives conversions.
To excel in UX design, consider the following:
- Conduct user research to understand your target audience’s needs and preferences.
- Optimize page load times and ensure smooth navigation.
- Implement accessible design practices to accommodate users with disabilities.
- A/B test and gather user feedback to continuously improve the user experience.
Tools like Adobe XD, Figma, and Sketch can assist you in creating prototypes and collaborating with clients and developers.
3. Front-End Development
Frameworks and libraries like React, Angular, or Vue.js can streamline the development process and enhance interactivity. Understanding version control systems like Git and utilizing responsive design techniques will make you a more versatile and efficient web designer.
Moreover, staying up-to-date with the latest web technologies and best practices, such as CSS Grid and Web Components, will keep your skills relevant and your websites competitive.
4. Graphic Design Skills
While the web design company in jaipur extends far beyond aesthetics, graphic design skills are still a fundamental part of the craft. In 2023, web designers must create visually appealing and cohesive designs that align with a brand’s identity.
Proficiency in graphic design tools like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign is essential for creating custom graphics, icons, and other visual elements. Understanding color theory, typography, and composition will help you create designs that not only look great but also communicate effectively.
Additionally, familiarity with design trends and principles, such as minimalism, microinteractions, and bold typography, will set you apart as a skilled web designer in 2023.
5. SEO and Digital Marketing Knowledge
In the digital landscape of 2023, web designers are expected to have a basic understanding of search engine optimization (SEO) and digital marketing. While you may not be responsible for the entire marketing strategy, knowing how design choices impact SEO and user engagement is crucial.
- Content Optimization: Web designers should create websites that are easy to navigate and have well-structured content. This includes using appropriate headings, meta tags, and keyword optimization techniques.
- Page Speed Optimization: Slow-loading websites can result in high bounce rates. Designers must prioritize optimizing images and code to ensure fast page loading times.
- Mobile Optimization: As mentioned earlier, responsive design is critical for both user experience and SEO, as search engines favor mobile-friendly websites.
- User Engagement: Designers should understand how user interface (UI) and UX design affect user engagement metrics, such as time on site and click-through rates.
- Conversion Optimization: Knowledge of conversion rate optimization (CRO) principles can help designers create layouts and calls-to-action that drive conversions.
Now, let’s delve into the significance of proactive digital strategies and effective digital marketing agencies in the context of web design in 2023.
Proactive Digital Strategies for Web Designers
Proactivity is key for web designers in 2023. This entails staying on top of new trends and technology. It also involves anticipating client needs and providing solutions before they are requested. A proactive approach can set you apart from the competition and result in more satisfied clients.
- Continuous Learning: Dedicate time to staying updated with the latest web design and development trends. Follow industry blogs, participate in webinars, and enroll in relevant courses to expand your skill set.
- Client Education: Educate your clients about the importance of modern design and the potential impact on their business. Discuss the benefits of responsive design, UX improvements, and SEO-friendly practices.
- Adaptive Design: Create designs that are adaptable to future technologies, such as wearable devices and augmented reality. Proactively offer solutions for emerging platforms.
- Security Awareness: Stay informed about cybersecurity threats and best practices in web security. Implement security measures to protect your clients’ websites from potential breaches.
To become a successful web designer in 2023, you must possess a diverse skill set encompassing responsive web design, UX design, front-end development, graphic design, and basic SEO knowledge. Additionally, adopting a proactive approach to your work and collaborating effectively with digital marketing agencies can take your web design career to the next level. Embrace these skills and strategies to thrive in the dynamic world of web design in 2023.

Good Cause Eviction
Under current tenant-landlords laws, once a lease expires, landlords may end a rental tenancy for any reason at all. Because of this, many landlords-- especially those who rent to households with low incomes-- offer only month-to-month leases or allow longer-term leases to expire without offering an option to renew. As gentrification occurs and landlords seek more profit, many families are kicked out of homes with short notice, through no fault or control of their own, and too often left homeless without other options.
Good Cause Eviction laws help to protect against this practice. The Greater Cincinnati Coalition for the Homeless has proposed a Good Cause Eviction ordinance in our city that would permit a landlord to terminate a residential tenancy (or refuse a lease renewal) only for one of the following reasons:
Tenant fails to pay rent
Tenant materially violates the rental agreement or legal obligations regarding the residence
The residence will be occupied by the landlord or a family member
To perform repairs necessary to make the rental residence safe and habitable and the performance of the work will make the residence temporarily uninhabitable while the work is being done
To comply with city orders to vacate the property
A lease provision that waives a tenant’ rights under the ordinance would be void and unenforceable.
Until the Good Cause Eviction ordinance is passed, this initiative also calls for a moratorium on the city’s use of property tax abatement, tax increment financing, or any other city financial incentive or pass-through funding on properties from which tenants were required to move without good cause (as outlined above) within the past 24 months.
Residents and community groups have long advocated for renter protection like this, without broad support from City Hall. With increasing attention on Cincinnati’s abysmal eviction rate, City Council has recently moved forward with much smaller legislative gains in this area, but it is not enough to create a significant impact.
