On the 31st of July Zimbabweans were supposed to take to the streets and protest against bad governance and corruption…
The 31st came and went but the streets were empty. Zimbabweans could not protest because the government banned the protests. Why? Well, different government officials said different things. Home affairs Minister Kazembe Kazembe said the protests were “not about corruption or about other well-meant intention.” How he knew this I’m not exactly sure.
31 July is a planned insurrection and a naked, illegal and unconstitutional attempt to seize power.

Another government official stated the protests would be taken by COVID-19 positive individuals as an opportunity to spread the virus;
Protests have been banned the world over. Why would people risk their lives participating in demonstrations? There are risks of infected people joining these illegal protests to spread the virusMary Mliswa-Chikoka – Provincial Affairs Minister for Mashonaland West
Long story short – very few people took to the streets on the day. Zimbabweans have however continued voicing their displeasure on social media over the past few days and on Twitter the hashtag ZimbabweanLivesMatter is currently trending.
At the time of writing the hashtag has over 290 000 tweets most of which are Zimbabweans taking a stand against corruption, bad governance, police brutality and the state’s attempt to silence journalists and activists who have been exposing corruption.
Other topics trending on the social media network that are part of this virtual protest include the following;
Whilst some have labelled social media protests is ineffective, it seems governments generally fear these platforms as evidenced by Tanzanian government’s decision to ban social media protests. The legislation bans organising, planning or even supporting any form of demonstration online.

Earlier this year, farmers were praying the rain would stop.
Now, they want it to come back.
"It's very dry. Most of the crops I've seen around the county are really suffering. The corn is curling up pretty bad and there's places where it's even starting to turn brown. So we really need some rain in the next few days," Elizabeth A. Hinkel, district manager of the Schuylkill Conservation District, Pottsville, said Thursday.
Schuylkill County has baked under a heat wave this week, along with much of the United States. There is a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms today, with a 50 percent chance of precipitation and a high near 89, according to the website for the National Weather Service, State College.
Chris Maccarone, a program technician with the Farm Service Agency, Pottsville, believes that if the heat persists, the state will declare a disaster because of drought.
"The corn's dying," Maccarone said.
"Right now is a very critical time for corn in the county. The corn is in tassel. It's pollinating right now. When the tassels come out on the corn, that's when the corn starts pollinating and if there's no rain to aid in pollination and the plants are stressed, a lot of times it won't fill out," Hinkel said.
"And pumpkins are shriveling up, and a majority of farmers in Schuylkill County do not have irrigation systems, so if it doesn't rain there's a good chance right now they're going to lose their crops," Maccarone said.
Hinkel said a good inch of rain would help.
"But hopefully it doesn't downpour all at once," Hinkel said.
Mother Nature hasn't been giving farmers much of a break this year.
In May, rain was putting farmers like Robin Hetherington of B&R Farms, Ringtown, off their usual planting schedules. At the time, there were 5.7 inches of rain more than normal, according to Bill Gartner, a meteorologist with the NWS.
"That rain delayed planting, and with wet soils in the spring, sometimes that can tend to really aggravate things even more when it dries out. It can almost turn to concrete. It gets really dry and the plants often time don't have a really good root system that's down in the soil," Hinkel said.
On July 18, Mike Scheidel, owner of Little Peace Farm, an organic farm at 257 Moonhill Drive, Schuylkill Haven, said the heat was damaging crops.
According to the 2008-09 edition of Pennsylvania Agricultural Statistics, the most current edition, there are 965 farms in Schuylkill County that make up a total of 118,000 acres. The average size of a farm in the county is 122 acres, said Dwane Miller, county extension director with Penn State Extension Office, Pottsville.

Review of: Monumental Spanish
Our 3 week Andalucian experience would've not been the same without Cristina. My two young daughters had the the most wonderful time with Cristina learning Spanish and exploring Seville. Cristina is a wonderful teacher with a wealth of knowledge and experience. We immediately connected much about the history of Seville. She was very professional and helpful and went out of her way to accommodate our schedule and provide tips and recommendation. Muchas gracias Cristina. We miss you and hope to see you again in Seville!…

I had a wonderful day with La Casa in the beautiful neighbourhood of Santa Cruz in Seville. I´ve been trying to learn Spanish on and off for years, but never seemed to get on with the classroom environment and more often than not ended up getting frustrated and losing motivation. What struck me about La Casa was its innovative approach to teaching: concentrating on supplying you with instantly applicable language skills in real life situations. There´s nothing else like it in Seville (or if there is, I´ve never come across it) a the method really appealed to me. Then there's Cristina herself: you couldn´t ask for a warmer, more encouraging and patient teacher. You can tell how passionate she is about her language and her culture and it really enhances the whole experience, plus there's the added bonus of being shown round Seville by a local. By the end of the class I felt confident enough to try out new vocabulary and grammatical structures,and didn't feel at all self conscious speaking in spanish because Cristina had made me feel so comfortable. I really can´t recommend this experience enough: a perfect way to spend your time in Seville.…

BEIJING Foreign companies in China are bracing for the impact of a new law governing data collection that came into effect on June 1.
The law requires companies to store customer information within China and to seek approval before transmitting that data out of the country. The law has drawn international opposition over concerns that it could hinder the free use of data, which companies rely on in forming their business strategies.
LAYING THE GROUNDWORK Countries around the world are establishing laws and regulations to counter the rising tide of cyberattacks. China, which has built its own internet space by shutting out companies like Google that do not adhere to its censorship guidelines, is no exception.
Beijing says the new cybersecurity law, which was passed in November, is aimed at enhancing internet and data security in response to the growing number of companies collecting and analyzing massive amounts of user information. The law requires companies to adopt technological standards based on Chinese law when building a network or providing services, and is intended to serve as the foundation for future cybersecurity legislation and regulations.
As leaders in areas such as cloud computing, American companies are particularly concerned about the law. Some foreign businesses have already begun switching management of their systems and data analysis from cloud technology leader Amazon.com to China's Alibaba Group Holding, according to one foreign law firm, an indication that the new law will work to the advantage of Chinese companies.
The added costs of establishing independent data systems in China is another cause for concern. An executive at a U.S. household goods maker expressed frustration that although it employs data from around the world to develop products, its Chinese data will no longer be integrated in that process. An executive from a major infrastructure company, meanwhile, warned about potential security issues, such as leaks of sensitive operational information.
U.S. law firm Lantham & Watkins said in a note to clients that the new law is "likely to significantly impact all multinational companies across all industries and sectors with significant operations in China." One of the worries is that the law "provides the Chinese government with significant discretion to restrict data transfers out of China, which may result in increased involvement in the affairs of private companies."
A group of 54 corporations, mainly members of the U.S.-China Business Council, sent a letter to Chinese authorities on May 15 saying, "Our concerns encompass enormously consequential issues for China's economy, its relations with economic and commercial partners and the global economy."
CONTROL ISSUES Chinese President Xi Jinping has been tightening his control over the internet, saying, "No internet safety means no national security." The country's anti-terrorism laws require that companies provide tools to decrypt users' communications. Internet broadcasts, meanwhile, must be screened in advance by censors. In early 2017, regulations on virtual private networks were tightened, and in May tougher regulations governing outlets that provide online news were announced.
Chinese public safety systems were among the targets of a global cyberattack that took place in mid-May, sparking calls for the country to develop its own cybersecurity mechanisms. China is likely to continue its hard line on internet controls as Xi and his circle prepare for the leadership shake-ups to take place during the Communist Party's National Congress this autumn.
Nikkei deputy editor Kenji Kawase in Hong Kong contributed to this report.

It has become increasingly likely that the Cavaliers' Big 3 of LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love will be broken up this summer.
Cleveland's championship window is closing asLeBron now has 12 years on his NBA odometer. As great as No. 23 still is, we saw last June that one man and one man alone cannot win a title in today's basketball climate. And it will only become more difficult as LeBronpasses go on his 32nd birthday this calendar year.
The Cavs must surround LeBron with more adaptable sidekicks, because it's clear that the current nucleus is not cutting it. We've heard the Love trade rumors almost since the day he arrived in Cleveland, but Monday there were two separate reports that hinted that Irving may be looking to get out of Dodge.

- Celebrity deaths 2018: All the stars we lost too soon 47 Pictures
ESPN's Steven A. Smith said the following on First Take:
“Dating back to last year, I’ve been told that Kyrie Irving ain’t too happy being in Cleveland,” Smith said. “The situation is not ideal for him. I don’t know the particulars, I haven’t spoken to him personally. It’s something that I’ve been hearing for months; that under ideal circumstances he would prefer to be someplace other than Cleveland.”
"Behind the scenes, James has been growing livid about being the sole proprietor of making sure guys are involved, and in a rhythm. He's used to carrying such a workload, but on this team, he shouldn't have to. From top to bottom, this is the deepest team James has been a member of. He needs help.
Just because you have a snow blower, doesn't mean you should overuse it. Sometimes, it's all right to break out the shovel. Irving has to take some of that responsibility away ...
Midway in the fourth quarter with the Cavaliers facing a 27-point deficit [Sunday against Washington], James hopped up from the bench and headed to the locker room. He had apparently seen enough. And after the game, before reporters were granted locker room access, James exited the locker room with a heavy puff coat and the hood over his head to leave without being bothered or perhaps noticed.
But you could tell he was disgusted ...
When head coach Tyronn Lue was asked if he had enough playmakers on this team, he cleverly sideswiped the question and instead informed us that James, Irving and Matthew Dellavedova are the team's three creators.
You could make the argument that Dellavedova is the second-best playmaker on the roster. After all, he is averaging more assists than Irving.
'It makes it tough because the offense, we run so much stuff through LeBron that he's getting everybody involved, and now the same stuff you ran with LeBron, you can't run it with different players,'Lue tried to explain.
That may be true, but that's selling Irving's talents short. He's capable of being better and making others better no matter the personnel on the floor. The great scorers can pick their spots and survey the landscape before throwing haymakers.
It's time for less eying the basket and more eying a teammate. Irving is young and I suspect he'll eventually get there, but the sooner the better considering the Cavaliers are in a dire period of championship or bust.
He needs to learn from this, and if he does, that's when this team will have reached its full potential."

Longtime ESPN broadcaster Chris Berman was sitting at Citi Field watching the Mets play the Giants on Tuesday when police told him his wife of more than 30 years was killed in a car wreck in Connecticut.
Kathy Berman, 67, a former teacher, died in the two-vehicle wreck about 2:15 p.m. in Woodbury, state police said. The driver of the other vehicle, Edward Bertulis, 87, of Waterbury, was also killed.
"This is a devastating tragedy and difficult to comprehend," ESPN President John Skipper said in a statement on Wednesday. "Chris is beloved by all his ESPN colleagues and for good reason: He has a huge heart and has given so much to so many over the years.
"We know how much his family means to him, and all we can do at a moment like this is to give him the love and support he will surely need at this hour," Skipper added.
The site of the crash is not far from the Bermans' home in Cheshire, and ESPN headquarters in Bristol.
Both vehicles were traveling in the same direction on a two-lane road when Kathy Berman's car struck the rear of Bertulis' SUV, and both veered off the road, according to police.
Berman's 2003 Lexus went down an embankment and overturned in a small body of water. Chris Berman is listed as the car's owner.
Bertulis' Ford Escape struck a utility pole and landed on its roof in the street. Pieces of the mangled vehicle lay scattered across the quiet country roadway.
Berman, who was wearing a seat belt, died at the scene. A police source told the Daily News that an NYPD officer informed Chris Berman of his wife's accident while he was at the Mets game Tuesday night.
Bertulis, who was not wearing a seat belt, died at a hospital.

Dipping My Toes in Anime: Paprika and Millennium Actress
The anime month keeps on rolling, this week focusing on a couple of films by Satoshi Kon. I've already checked out Perfect Blue (which was not only the first anime I ever saw but also one of the awesomest), so I was looking to back that up with Paprika and Millennium Actress. Spirited Away and Akira will be coming up next week, probably a day late due to availability. Anyway, the week at hand...
I guess you could say I chose Paprika as part of my mini anime syllabus because when I said that Inception seemed original to me, I got a few hate-filled comments about how Paprika looked at dream space before it. To be honest, I didn't like Paprika more than Inception. In fact, the gap is so wide there's probably ten layers of dream space between them. It was a little more Strange Days than Inception to me, but that's just the way I saw it. Paprika is an imaginative little film, but sometimes it's imagination runs a little too far ahead of itself. Which doesn't make for the most clear watch, as I often found myself a little confused by the erratic shifts of action. That said, it's imagination is something that should be admired.
Basically, the large majority of the film takes part in a dream. There's a new gadget making the rounds called the 'DC Mini' (which did remind me of the SQUID device in Strange Days, which also recorded stuff, hence my comparison), which a therapist uses for her patients. However, when the thing gets out, the therapist tries everything in her power to not let anyone fall victim to some of the dangers that the DC Mini comes along with. That part of the story is quite interesting, but then the film kinda goes crazy with the dream space, with several scenes of large dolls parading through the street all the time. Everything whirred around in my head at about a thousand miles and hour, which made me a little light-headed. There was a lot to take in, but sometimes there was too much to take in. It just felt like one of those cases where the story looked better on the script than it did on film. However, on film, there were some great visuals that made Paprika something special. Who knows - I'll probably like it more on a second watch. But that movie just about blew up my brain, and I can't decide whether that was a good thing or a bad thing.
The second of Kon's work I checked out on the weekend was another film focused on the blurred lines of fantasy and reality, but a lot easier to follow. Millennium Actress is based on the life of popular Japanese actress Setsuko Hara, who's named Chiyoko in the film. She's retired, which prompts a director to lure her out of hiding and shoot a documentary on her. Chiyoko tells the story of her life, which starts off with her meeting an artist who she helps escape from the military. She falls in love with him, and once he leaves, she embarks on a lifelong journey to find her lost love.
It sounds like a simple enough story, but it is complicated by the fact that it plays out like a 'film within a film'. Chiyoko often gets her reality mixed up with the films she performed in, which blurs the line between fantasy and reality. It was an interesting way of telling an otherwise rote story, adding this fantastical twist that is truly spell-binding. What I also loved was the fact that the director of the documentary, along with his DP, are found following Chiyoko's life and filming it, as if they were a part of it. If I were to ever become part of the film industry, and be somewhat good enough to make a film about, I want it to be made like this. Because I already mix my memories up with movies - so who knows what will happen if I make them?
What did you think of these movies? Are you all for Paprika? Or would you rather have a film like Millennium Actress be made about you?

The latest project of the Roland Park Community Foundation is the Stabilization of the Roland Water Tower.
The Roland Water Tower, located at 4210 Roland Avenue, is a 148-feet tall, octagonal masonry tower made from brick and terra cotta. The Tower has been out of use since the 1960’s and is in disrepair. Falling tiles resulted in a chain link fence being put up over 10-years ago. It is located at the nexus of four neighborhoods: Hoes Heights, Rolden, Roland Park and Hampden.
This historic tower was built in 1905 to provide water for Hampden. However, in 1930 the reservoir system replaced towers, so the Tower became the turnaround spot for streetcars. In the 1960’s, buses replaced streetcars and today it acts as a landmark for the surrounding neighborhoods. The Tower is in the Beaux Arts style where style was important even on structures that were used in functional roles.
The RPCF stepped up to bring this gem back to life. Lewis Contractors was hired to repair the structure and construction will begin in September 2020, and the work will be complete in April 2021, subject to weather delays.

Precision is crucial when printing small details on materials such as glass and ceramics. When printing on such types of materials, it sometimes becomes difficult to ensure that the printer’s printhead is at the exact position as desired. Nevertheless, correct positioning of the print head is the basic requirement for obtaining high-quality prints — which means that optoNCDT 1420 laser triangulation sensors from Micro-Epsilon are a must-have.
Micro-Epsilon’s laser triangulation sensors are widely used in diverse industries including the printing industry. optoNCDT 1420 laser triangulation sensor helps to position the print head at the right distance from the surface. It is done by analyzing the data provided by the sensors. This data is acquired by the control system that helps to determine the edges of the surface to be printed. Apart from easy adaptation, the Plug & Play configuration of the sensors makes it the ideal choice for high-volume applications.


That's how I felt when The Newsroom began, with the classical rolling notes of the theme song and the authoritative tone of the cast; I was taken straight back to the familiar peace that used to descend when I watched an episode of The West Wing. It was like suddenly I didn't have to be the one in charge, I could stop pretending I knew what I was doing, how I'm supposed to live my life, what it means to be a grown up, because there were people on the screen that could handle it all for me. All I had to do was sit back, relax and pick up some extra intelligence through osmosis.
I came late to the party with The West Wing, so late in fact I went straight to the complete box set; but I loved it. It didn't matter that I couldn't understand half of the storylines, that I realised how poor my knowledge of world politics was and that sometimes I felt like I only understood every fourth word. I had the sense that just by watching the show I was getting smarter, learning more about the world we live in and wishing that President Bartlet would come to the UK and sort the country out, because the world was safe when it was in his hands.
I love the fact that the characters speak at a million miles an hour - really who speaks that fast? Well maybe me when I'm hyped up during a radio interview; but I hope I'm not that bad normally. Or maybe it's just that they have to fit in such a lot of great dialogue, that they're pushed to say it all in 42 minutes (anyone that's fast-forwarded advert breaks knows how long a show really takes to watch!)
I loved the use of real world events, the insight into what goes on behind the scenes of a newsroom and it did its job well because I even thought it looked cool and maybe when I grow up I'd like to work on the news!
I can't wait to fall in love with a whole new set of characters - I may already have a mini crush on Jim Harper, cape or no cape! It's so good to see a return of smart, sassy TV that makes you think. Welcome back Aaron Sorkin!

Damselfish, also called demoiselle, any of about species of small, primarily tropical marine fishes of the family Pomacentridae (order Perciformes) found in the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific oceans. Damselfishes are deep-bodied and usually have forked tails. They resemble the related cichlids and, like them, have a single nostril on each side of the head and have interrupted lateral lines.
Damselfish are a type of fish which are found uncommonly by fishing in any biome in the Sky layer, with the exception of the Corruption, the Crimson, the Hallow, a Snow biome, or the Jungle.

Private jet charter operator PrivateFly recently released an analysis of flight activity to the Caribbean, tracking the jet stream of the Super Rich. Reported figures indicated there were 12,566 charter flights to the ten busiest Caribbean airports alone during last winter, the high season for Caribbean travel. Based on available data on average “destination spend” (excluding fuel and landing fees) by private jet travellers there was some $867 million in spending to the destinations where the top ten airports were located.
Nassau, St. Maarten and Turks and Caicos led the way, accounting for half of those flights, with 6,922 arrivals and spending of nearly $478 million. The top destination was Nassau, where private jet charter fliers alone brought $278 million. The remaining 7 of the top 10 included two other Bahamian Islands, Abaco (5) and North Eleuthera (8); with the others being San Juan, St. Thomas, Bermuda, Anguilla and Cayman.
Douglas Gollan, Group President and Editor-in-Chief of Elite Traveler Magazine says, “We continue to see the Caribbean as one of the preferred destinations for our readers, especially those travelling by private jets and mega-yachts.” Elite Traveler Magazine tracks the jet stream of the super rich and chronicles the vacations and purchasing habits of affluent travellers across the world. He added, “When one considers the above numbers represent only 33 to 50 percent of total private aviation activity to the region and only the ten busiest airports, it shows the huge opportunity for destinations and resorts to increase their share of super rich winter travel spending.” Carol Cork, Head of Marketing at PrivateFly, confirms that charter is only a portion of private jet activity – the rest being owned jets and fractionally owned jets.
The [Bahamas Ministry of Tourism](http://www.bahamas.com) maintains a strategy of targeting high income private flyers. Aviation Specialist Greg Rolle says it is a part of the ministry’s objectives to make the country number one in private aviation. “Our private aviation objectives are two-fold: to increase general aviation traffic and expenditure and to expose more Bahamians to business opportunities in the general aviation industry,” He added, “These numbers and revenue assure us that private pilots are coming to The Bahamas and the three Bahamas islands mentioned in the ranking all have fixed based operators (FBOs) that are owned and operated by Bahamians.” The companies credited for the number-one position include Odyssey Aviation and Executive Flight Support in Nassau, Cherokee Aviation in Abaco and White Crown Aviation in Eleuthera.
The Ministry’s aviation marketing efforts encompass outreaches towards private pilots and, in fact, its strategy includes aggressively building relationships with all major aviation executives; e.g. through the [Bahamas Flying Ambassadors](http://www.bahamas.com/flying-ambassadors) programme. It has formed relationships with aviation clubs, associations, aviation schools, FBOs, the Experimental Aircraft Association and the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association – all creating more awareness of the general aviation market, its value to the Bahamian economy, and career/business opportunities for Bahamians.

When it comes to hearing loss, everybody has a different experience, which is why the way it is treated varies from person to person. Both hearing aids and cochlear implants help those experiencing hearing loss to communicate more effectively, but they work very differently. Depending on the severity of your hearing loss, your audiologist will recommend one over the other.
Hearing aids do not require surgery and work well for those with moderate hearing loss. Cochlear implants are slightly more complex, require surgery, and are designed for people who have profound hearing loss. These are just the basic differences. Read on to learn more about how cochlear implants work, who they’re designed for, and dive into the main differences between implants and hearing aids.
What is a cochlear implant?
Like hearing aids, cochlear implants are a technological marvel. They are small electronic devices that help people who are profoundly deaf or severely hard-of-hearing achieve a sense of sound. The device is made of an external portion that sits behind the ear, and an inner portion that is surgically placed under the skin. Together, they work to give the wearer different representations of sound to help them understand speech.
The implant is made up of a few different parts:
- The microphone picks up sound from the surrounding environment
- The speech processor is responsible for selecting and arranging the sounds picked up by the microphone
- The transmitter works with the receiver/stimulator by receiving signals from the speech processor and then converting them into electric impulses
- The electrode array is a collection of electrodes that collects the electric impulses and sends them out to different regions of the auditory nerve
Though a cochlear implant doesn’t restore hearing, it does an excellent job of giving the wearer enough information from the sound collected to help people better understand speech. Many audiologists describe it as a different way of hearing, which is why it takes time and training to get used to it.
How does a cochlear implant work?
Hearing aids and cochlear implants work very differently. A hearing aid amplifies sounds so that even people with slightly damaged ears can hear. A cochlear implant works by bypassing the damaged portion of the ear entirely and working directly with the auditory nerve. The electronic signals created by the cochlear implant stimulate the auditory nerve, sending a message to the brain, which then recognizes the signal as sound.
When someone “hears” through a cochlear implant it is different from normal hearing, and it can take time to adapt to and learn. However, cochlear implants are a useful tool in helping those with severe hearing loss be able to recognize warning signals, and important sounds in their surroundings, as well as to understand speech in person and over the phone.
Who gets cochlear implants?
Both children and adults who are either deaf or severely hard-of-hearing can be fitted for cochlear implants. Data from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) state that as of December 2019, roughly 118,100 devices have been implanted in adults and 65,000 in children. The best way to know if a cochlear implant is right for you is to see an audiologist. Performing an array of hearing tests will determine how severe your hearing loss is and highlight the best treatment option for you.
Cochlear implants require both a surgical procedure as well as therapy and training to learn or relearn how to use your sense of hearing. In fact, everybody will have a different experience with cochlear implants, which is why the decision to get one should not be taken lightly. If you are considering getting cochlear implants, it’s important to discuss the procedure with an audiologist and a cochlear-implant surgeon to ensure you have all the facts before making a decision.
While surgical implants are considered to be a relatively safe procedure, complications are still a possibility, just like with any other surgery. You want to be sure you are aware of all potential side effects so you’re not taken by surprise. Another important consideration is how long it will take to learn or relearn how to interpret the sounds created by an implant. It’s a long process that usually involves working closely with speech-to-language pathologists and audiologists, it’s not an instant fix.
And finally, the cost is a critical component of this decision. Health insurance varies greatly, and while some may cover the cost of a cochlear implant, others may not. Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and the Department of Veterans Affairs, for example, will sometimes pay for all or some of the cost, but they won’t if there are pre-existing conditions. And without health insurance, the cost of cochlear implants ranges from $30,000 to $50,000 – a prohibitive price for most. These are all important factors to take into consideration when deciding if cochlear implants are right for you.
Difference Between Hearing Aids and Cochlear Implants
We’ve already determined that hearing aids and cochlear implants work differently. We know that hearing aids amplify sounds, whereas cochlear implants work by sending electronic signals straight to the auditory nerve to stimulate the sense of hearing. Let’s hone in on the specific differences between them both to see which option is best for you.
If you were to compare your ears to a radio, the way you fix the radio would depend largely on what is affecting its function. If all you need to get your radio working is to fine-tune the station and raise the volume, then hearing aids are the best option. But if your radio receiver is damaged and emitting static, raising the volume will only make the static louder. In this case, you need a new radio—cochlear implants.
The extent and type of hearing loss you’re experiencing will also have an impact on what’s best. Hearing aids can work for those experiencing mild to profound hearing loss caused by either conductive (from the middle or outer ear) or sensorineural (from the inner ear or hearing nerve) hearing loss. Cochlear implants are used for those experiencing moderate to severe hearing loss that is only sensorineural.
If you are able to understand 50% or more of the spoken word during testing, then your comprehension of speech is good enough that hearing aids will be enough. But if you understand less than 50%, then cochlear implants are the better choice.
What other differences are there?
|Hearing Aids||Cochlear Implants|
|Time||It usually takes two weeks to get used to wearing hearing aids.||It takes between six months to one year to get used to “hearing” with an implant.|
|Surgery||No surgery.||Surgery is generally outpatient and under anesthesia.|
|Risk||Little to none.||The surgical aspect means there is moderate risk.|
|Age||No age limit.||No age limit|
|Cost and Insurance||Some insurance plans cover the cost. Without insurance the cost runs between $1,000 to $4,0000.||Most insurance plans will cover the majority of the cost. Without insurance, the cost is between $30,000 and $50,000.|
What to expect with Cochlear Implants
For some, cochlear implants are the clear choice for improved hearing health. If that’s the case, then it’s important to go over some post-surgery expectations so you not only know what to expect but have best practices in place to get the most out of your investment.
1: First off, cochlear implants are not activated until after you’ve recovered from surgery, usually between two to four weeks. Once your audiologist has cleared you after a post-surgery check-up, you’ll receive the external component of the cochlear implant to activate the device.
2: It will take time to tune the device to work best for you, which means you will go in to see your audiologist three, six, and 12 months after device activation to ensure it’s working just right for your needs. Its settings will be tweaked as needed to address your specific hearing needs.
3: At the same time, you will also be meeting with speech-language pathologists to help you learn or re-learn how to “hear” using the cochlear implant. This training is critical to the success of your cochlear implant, and a necessary step that cannot be skipped.
One of the main benefits of cochlear implants is that they’ve been shown to have excellent long-term success. And as the technology continues to improve, the better they work. Better yet, implanted devices can be updated without additional surgery, which means it’s easier to keep up with the latest technology.
Clearly, hearing aids and cochlear implants are very different and are used for very different kinds of hearing loss. Their most important quality, the one they share, is that they help individuals regain a sense of hearing. If you’ve been experiencing hearing loss and you’re not sure what the best course of action to take is, don’t worry, there is help! Make an appointment with an audiologist to see what option works best for you. While articles like this one are helpful in giving you introductory information, the best way to know what you really need is to consult with a professional.

Recent guidance issued by the Insolvency Service has asked Insolvency Practitioners as part of their reporting procedures to look into whether any Government support schemes have been abused by the insolvent company or the directors. Examples of the abuse include;
Directors using Bounce Back Loan funds for their personal benefit or paying off their director’s loan account
Claiming furlough monies for employees still working, contrary to the terms and conditions
Providing false information to obtain financial assistance
Where a company enters into an insolvency process, the Insolvency Service are likely to specifically target those directors who it perceives have abused the Government support schemes for disqualification as they will be easy targets. This may mean that the directors are disqualified from acting as directors for 2 – 15 years.
When a director is disqualified, the insolvency Service also have the power to seek a compensation order against the directors personally for certain debts.
In addition, the Insolvency Service are also putting pressure on Insolvency Practitioners to investigate whether these support schemes have been abused and try to bring claims against directors.
If you have any clients who have used Bounce Back Loans or the furlough scheme and their businesses are in financial difficulties, it is really important to have an open discussion with the Insolvency Practitioner at the initial contact to establish what the potential ramifications will be on the director.

Obama's 'Moderate' Islamist PM Follows Fascist Playbook
Turkey … the struggle continues.
And the Obama administration's perfidious alliance with a clerical fascist cloaked in phony "moderation" is backfiring big-time. The fascists are "reproaching" America's Secretary of State.
Click below for video reports. NBC and other Obama-fawning media outlets are downplaying or ignoring the protests because the protesters are secular Muslims, not bearded, burqa-wearing, bomb-throwing Islamists. The Obama administration and NBC are pro-Islamist; secular Muslims are dismissed as not being newsworthy.

text: Research concerning the reciprocal influence of relationships and dementia largely focuses on dyadic relationships despite evidence that whole families are affected. Furthermore, such research generally considers more common forms of dementia such as Alzheimer's disease. Behavioural variant fronto-temporal dementia (bvFTD) primarily although not exclusively affects people below the age of 65 and is distinctly different in its impact from more common forms of dementia, affecting social cognition and therefore relational functioning. We aimed to develop a detailed understanding of intergenerational family experiences of bvFTD over time. We adopted a social constructivist and pluralist approach, using Narrative Thematic Analysis and Grounded Theory. We interviewed seven families in their own homes, including the person with bvFTD, at up to three time-points every six to nine months from 2012 to 2014, resulting in 46 interviews with 19 family members. Three super-ordinate themes were identified: Theme 1: We before bvFTD: cohesive and connected – disconnected and distant; Theme 2: Challenges experienced by us; and Theme 3: Relational outcomes: a changing we – an entrenched we. Results emphasise bvFTD brought early and significant disruption to family relationships. The interplay of prior relational functioning, involving the nature of the relationship for family members, the specific impact of bvFTD on these relationships and family member's understanding of bvFTD was critical to how each family fared over the duration of the research, and the relational outcomes they experienced. These findings suggest health-care practice could enhance its support for families living with bvFTD, through the development of tailored, family-oriented approaches to assessment and practice. Such approaches are necessary to understand how families work together and identify interventions that address the family-specific challenges bvFTD brings. The provision of tailored, relational-focused and specialised information concerning the experience of living with bvFTD is needed to flexibly address families' needs and expectations.

NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – New Mexico lottery officials are expecting a big dip in funding. Thirty percent of the lottery’s revenue goes to the scholarship fund, helping pay tuition for in-state college students.
However, according to the Santa Fe New Mexican, the scholarship fund is expected to get $38 million from the lottery this year. That’s lower than last year’s $43 million and the lowest since 2017.
Officials aren’t sure how much the pandemic is impacting sales just yet. They mostly blame the decline on the steep drop in Powerball and Mega Million sales after gigantic jackpot wins decreased prize money.

Advance Care Planning is the process of thinking and talking about future medical decisions if you had a sudden event, like a car accident or illness, and could not make your own decisions. The best time to make these decisions is when you can choose for yourself.
Advance Care Planning involves important real life conversations to reflect on, discuss, and plan for a time when you cannot make your own health care decisions. It is a process for you to understand possible health care choices, think about these choices in light of the values and goals important to you, discuss your choices with your loved ones and health care providers, and make a plan for future situations.
Imagine this scenario:
A life threatening event has left you unable to communicate with those around you or to participate in your daily care, treatment planning, or decision making. Even though all care and available treatments are being provided, your doctors have determined your illness or injury cannot be cured and death is likely, or your brain function will not return.
- What does ‘living well’ mean to me? For example: If I were having a good day, what would happen on that day? Who would I talk to? What would I do?
- What brings me joy and comfort?
- What cultural, religious, spiritual, or personal beliefs, if any, might help me choose the care I want or don’t want?
What is an Advance Directive for Health Care?
An Advance Directive allows you to write down your goals, values and preferences for future health care decisions and who you want to communicate your health care decisions if you are unable to communicate for yourself. For adults 18 and older, completing an Advance Directive is important if you had a life threatening event, like an accident or serious illness, and cannot make your own decisions.
Honoring Choices Idaho provides two options for completing an Advance Directive: Option 1: download and complete the PDF and Option 2: complete the Advance Directive online using the links below.
Please note: Honoring Choices® Idaho does not store or save your completed documents.
Idaho’s legal requirements for an Advance Directive for Health Care includes two (2) separate documents:

Syracuse -- Eighteen Upstate state senators, including six from Central New York, have sent a letter to Gov. Andrew Cuomo asking him to modify his school aid budget to make it more fair to the low-wealth districts they represent.
The letter, written by Buffalo-area Sen. Patrick Gallivan, R-Elma, commends Cuomo’s plan for restoring some of the aid the state cut over the past few years through what it called the “gap elimination adjustment,” or GEA.
But it says the restoration returns greater percentages of money to high-poverty urban districts, including Syracuse, than it does to other low-wealth districts. Some urban districts would receive about 40 percent of those cuts back, while other low-wealth districts would get less than 10 percent, the letter said.
The letter also calls for Cuomo to take $75 million he has earmarked for competitive grants and instead put it into the general school aid pot. It says many smaller districts don’t have the means to produce a winning grant application.
“They don’t have the resources to compete,” said Sen. David Valesky, D-Oneida, who signed the letter. “Let’s get everybody back to a level playing field.”
In addition to the regular state aid allotment in his proposed 2013-14 budget, the governor set aside $203 million as a one-time infusion of aid. The letter asks him to set aside much of that money to help low-wealth districts that got less than the state average of 14.9 percent of their GEA cuts restored.
Besides Valesky, area senators who signed the letter are Sens. John DeFrancisco, R-Syracuse; Patty Ritchie, R-Oswegatchie; Michael Nozzolio, R-Fayette; James Seward, R-Milford; and Joseph Griffo, R-Rome.
Valesky, a member of the Independent Democratic Conference, was the only Democrat to sign the letter. But he pointed out that most Upstate senators are Republicans.
Rick Timbs, executive director of the Statewide School Finance Consortium, a group of more than 400 school districts working to bring more equity to the state aid system, wrote a six-page analysis of the letter this week. He said he was gratified by the senators’ willingness to confront the governor on the aid issue, but said they didn’t go far enough.
He said the senators should insist on a far greater restoration of the GEA cuts. Those cuts hurt low-wealth districts the most and should be restored quickly, he said.
He said the letter does not address the continuing inequities in the basis state aid formula, or the fact that the state has reneged on its promise to dramatically increase funding for poor districts following a 2006 court ruling that confirmed the inequities in the way the state funds its schools.
And Timbs expressed concern that the letter was signed only by Upstate senators. There are low-wealth districts in every area of the state, and the issue should not be framed -- as it often is when the Legislature debates school aid issues -- as an Upstate vs. Downstate issue, he said.

School board approves Costa Rica field trip
Despite some hesitation and words of caution Monday from the interim superintendent, the Board of Education gave unanimous approval for a high school field trip to Costa Rica in April 2014.
The 10-day trip will allow students in grades 10 through 12 to travel to the Central American country with Immersion Abroad Costa Rica. Students will stay with host families while learning Spanish, exploring historic sites, taking classes, participating in service projects and experiencing the food and culture.
WHS teacher David Knight, who will lead the trip, said he expects about 35 to 40 students to go and hopes to begin signing up students soon.
"This is something our students need to do, because we're talking about global learning and 21st-century skills," Knight said.
Knight said that while he has traveled in a group of teachers with Immersion Abroad before, he has not taken students on a trip with this company. He has guided church youth groups abroad before, he said.
"I think you've covered most of the bases that we as parents or teachers don't even think of," said board member Barbara Kinsey.
Interim Superintendent David Fonseca questioned Knight about how staff would keep the students safe and secure on the international trip, especially since they won't be combined in one hotel. He pointed out that the legal drinking age there is 18.
Knight pointed to the agreements host families sign, and noted that several WHS administrators will be present to enforce expectations for students. He also provided a list of other school systems that have used the program as references.
Fonseca said he would prefer more time to review the request.
"Part of my job is to worry when there's nothing to worry about," he said.
The board voted unanimously to approve the field trip, while also allowing Fonseca to further review the information for any red flags.
The board also continued discussion Monday on school safety following last week's bomb threat.
Fonseca explained several things the system learned through the process but said he considered the overall evacuation a success.
WHS senior Patrick Williamson, the student representative on the board, offered a different opinion on what he called an "eye-opening experience."
"I felt like at the high school, the students and faculty that I talked to, they thought the whole day was pretty chaotic and there was a lack of communication between a lot of people," he said. "Most people that I talked to thought it made it pretty apparent how unprepared we would be."
Fonseca mentioned several things the school system will consider, including using emergency vests and more consistent ID tags across schools so law enforcement can quickly distinguish school staff from the public.
Checkout procedures from the schools' safe locations need to be refined so there are no questions after a student is released to his or her parents.
The school system also will look into specialized training for principal and teachers, who would be expected to assist in building sweeps for suspicious items.
"It is not the most optimal of situations, but I think our people responded bravely and appropriately," Fonseca said.
The board also:
-- Received updates on the Caldwell Community College Dream Award program and the high school graduation rate.
-- Approved contracts with Watauga Opportunities and the Boone Roundball Classic tournament. The basketball contract was approved following discussion in closed session.
-- Received a brief update on technology efforts and facilities.
-- Approved on first reading changes to the Distance Learning Policy and approved on second reading changes to the Community Use of School Facilities and Use of Automated Phone Messages policies.
-- Discussed options for a widescale policy update.
-- Met in closed session to discuss reportable offenses, student records and personnel.

There are many product labels that people value to describe all their current partnership. These trademarks do not seriously matter to some who simply want to be enjoyed and are in love yet understanding how to separate the two could possibly make a huge difference in your potential romantic lifestyle if it is a new relationship or maybe even an established icelandic brides one. This is particularly important in cases where there are significant differences between two for instance a long term partner who has come back to the relationship to rekindle a lost take pleasure in or a fresh partner who’s entering into a new relationship. However , these kinds of differences will not need to scare you. Knowing how to share with the difference between a new allure and a much more established you can actually have a positive impact on the romantic existence.
The earliest difference that needs to be mentioned between a brand new romance and an established romantic relationship is the psychological stage. Fresh relationships typically start off as a light hearted affair. You may have met your spouse online and traded email messages; you might be staying up late in the hope of bumping into each other over a street someplace. Being in a new relationship level, you may spend lots of period together performing small talk and trying to lighten the mood. This is when the dating begins to die down.
When you move into being within a physical relationship stage, stuff tend to are more complicated. You now have a great emotional closeness bond with another person, meaning you are sharing yourself as well as psychologically. The physical intimacy does not mean that the romantic relationship is any kind of less than it was before. It simply ensures that the physical nature of the connection has become a significant factor of the romance.
This does not indicate that the two are now fans. Often the physical attraction dies out and they are just friends. This can be totally different by when the a couple first achieved in some casual dating scenario. On this casual online dating stage you were basically just meeting each other and developing a chat.
There is something interesting about casual seeing specifically precisely as it involves an emotional closeness bond. Despite the fact that there are many different components that come into perform within a solid marriage, the psychological intimacy usually remains. It can be much harder to separate that bond because you happen to be spending a lot time mutually. So what occurs is that the emotional intimacy develops faster and the romance gets more powerful because the physical bond is also developing.
What about dating solely? Does it means that the passionate side with the relationship goes away? Does it mean that you are no longer having that a person using one feeling? For anyone who is seeing anyone else besides your lover, does it imply that you happen to be cheating on your own partner? Or do you really just not come to feel as close as you once did?
The best version of needing a real romance with somebody is having a deep and meaningful reference to that different person. Being in a serious relationship with another person is great and it undoubtedly can be very fulfilling. However , there is more to building a healthy romantic relationship than just intimacy. And the mental intimacy you happen to be experiencing is usually not about having sex with another person.
Psychological intimacy is not regarding being physical with someone else. So if you will definitely find anyone else aside from your partner, then that friendship needs to be built on a much deeper level than just physical. That profound emotional closeness that you are enduring is much deeper than the casual seeing experience. And that means you have to recognize that if you are looking to develop a healthy and balanced relationship, then you definitely must be in it for the right reasons rather than just for the casual online dating experience.

Technically, we at Celebritology don't know who will win the Oscars for Best Actor and Best Actress. But it seems like a fair bet that Colin Firth and Natalie Portman will have statuettes in their hands on Academy Awards night.
Assuming that's the case, we thought it would be nice to help the respective stars of "The King's Speech" and "Black Swan" write their acceptance speeches.
You can do just that by activating our Firth and Portman speech generators below. Just fill in the list of requested words, a la Mad Libs, then hit the submit button to read the brilliant -- or horribly inappropriate -- remarks you've managed to craft. We thank you for playing.

Vietnamese modern arts have been strongly transformed since the issue of the Reform Policy by the party and the States of Vietnam (in 1986), which created the momentum for inspiration and democracy in art creation. The last three decades were a period when Vietnamese artists became more active in the desire for creativity, research and discovery, as well as more concerned with social life in order to establish their own styles through an exploration of diverse medias and themes, and more confident in integrating their art with developments in the region and in the world.
Artists have shown different artistic tendencies through different styles. In painting, the artists whose artworks reflect deep Asian cultural elements and tradition identity include Trinh Ba Quat, Dinh Thi Tham Poong, Nguyen Bach Dan…. Artists who work in realism are Nguyen Ngoc Dan and Pham Binh Chuong. Abstract artists are Do Minh Tam, Vinh Phoi. Expressionists are Do Hoang Tuong, Ha Chi Hieu. Abstract- Expressionist artists include Vo Xuan Huy….
As for sculpture, diversity in artist languages are clearly expressed in the artworks of Duong Dang Can, Phan Phuong Dong and Vuong Van Thao. With the harmonious integration of tradition and modernity, and diversity of ideas and media, Vietnamese modern arts are strongly developing and have achieved certain success.
Here in the short introduction are a few of the Vietnam modern arts that reflect richly humanistic content and philosophy depth., hidden in which are the thoughts, feelings or moods, internal emotions of the artists themselves regarding the issues of contemporary society.

i cant wait
finally its almost here... still need a porygon 2, arcanine, and multiscale dragonite.
but for the most part, Game Freak did a great job of getting most of the the competitive-grade pokemon into the game already.
I can see this being useful when the new versions start coming out and we hit the 1500 different pokemon number. Maybe it's time to focus on a good story and innovating gameplay rather than adding in new Pocket Monsters.
