Menís Soccer Hosts Sixth Seed Georgia Southern In SoCon Tournament
GREENSBORO, N.C. – The second-seeded UNCG men’s soccer team hosts sixth-seeded Georgia Southern in the first round of the 2013 Southern Conference Tournament Saturday night. Game time is set 7 p.m. at the UNCG Soccer Stadium and admission is FREE.
UNCG finished the regular season with an 8-8-2 overall record and a 3-2-1 record in the SoCon to finish third in the standings. The winner between the third-seeded Spartans and sixth-seeded Eagles will advance to the SoCon Tournament semifinals next Friday night in Greenville and will face the winner of second-seeded Elon versus seventh-seeded Appalachian State.
Junior midfielder David Reittinger (Greensboro, N.C./Northwest Guilford) leads the Spartans in scoring with 11 points as he has found the back of the net four times and dished out two assists. Senior midfielder Oddur Gudmundsson (Reykjavik, Iceland/Breidholti) has scored four goals this season, including two in the regular season finale at Elon as he has 10 points on the year.
Redshirt sophomore forward Dustin Gamradt (Kiel, Germany/Hebbleschule) leads the team with five goals scored on the year, all as a reserve forward. Redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Stephen Moffitt (Burlington, N.C./Williams) has played almost all of the year in goal and owns a 1.55 goals against average and six shutouts.
Georgia Southern finished the regular season with an 8-9-0 record and a 2-4-0 mark in SoCon play. The Eagles have won back-to-back games to end the regular season, including knocking off Furman on the road and defeating James Madison.
Witt Carlisle leads the Eagles in scoring with 15 points, scoring six goals and dishing out three assists. Hunter Norton is second on the team with 14 points as he has scored five goals and handed out four assists. Neal Bates has played every minute in goal and owns an 1.27 goals against average. Bates was named the SoCon Player of the Week for the final week of the season after picking up wins over Furman and JMU.
Saturday’s game marks the 16th appearance all-time in the SoCon Tournament by the Spartans, as UNCG owns a 27-11-2 record in the history of the event. The Spartans own the second-best winning percentage in SoCon Tournament history, notching a 70 percent winning clip, trailing only Furman at 74.2 percent. UNCG has advanced past the first round in 12 of its 15 appearances, while making the finals 10 times and winning it five times.
Conversely, Georgia Southern will be making its 20th appearance and owns a 11-17-3 record all-time in the event, for a 40.3 percent clip. The Eagles have advanced past the first round just eight out of 20 times and only made two finals appearances, without a tournament title.
Saturday’s game marks the ninth meeting all-time between UNCG and Georgia Southern in Southern Conference Tournament history. The Spartans own a 6-1-1 record all-time against the Eagles in tournament history and have advanced past the Eagles in seven of eight meetings. UNCG has out-scored Georgia Southern 21-5 in the tournament, including a 3-0 victory in the 2006 finals. Last season, the Spartans and Eagles also met in the first round with Georgia Southern picking up a 2-1 overtime victory to end UNCG’s season.
Saturday’s game marks the 26th meeting all-time between UNCG and Georgia Southern. The Spartans hold a commanding 19-3-3 advantage in the all-time series. Earlier this season, the Spartans scored two second half goals to rally past the Eagles 2-1 on Homecoming. Gamradt scored both of the Spartans’ goals as a reserve in the second half, finding the back of the net twice in a seven-minute span.
Last season, Georgia Southern picked up two victories over UNCG at home. The Eagles won 4-1 during the regular season before ending the Spartans’ season with a 2-1 double overtime victory in the first round of the SoCon Tournament. Prior to last season, UNCG had won three straight games in the series, outscoring Georgia Southern 17-1 in the process.

sex: abstinence only “education”
after a lot of thought last night, i decided that maybe i won’t wait till a later date to address my thoughts on abstinence-only. in fact, my blog might be taken over by sex for a week or so while i get all this stuff out of my system. 🙂
let’s get started, shall we?
abstinence-only sex education. this is the practice of teaching children to wait until marriage to have sex. and…that’s about it.
on paper, that sounds okay. sound enough for government work (which, especially under bush, it has been). there’s one problem. it doesn’t work.
i’m going to say that again. it. doesn’t. work.
i’m going to expand that thesis to the following: abstinence-only sex education is an irresponsible failure to our adolescents. and now i’m going to tell you why.
abstinence-only sex ed fails — consistently. a recent study showed that 95% of Americans have sex before marriage.(1) waiting until marriage is simply not the societal norm — and moreover, it hasn’t been for decades. in fact, even before the sexual revolution of the 60s and 70s, most people had sex before marriage. research shows that these numbers are relatively unchanged since the 1940s — a full two decades before the onset of satan’s music (rock and roll, haha) and free love. and back when abstaining was the norm? people got married at much earlier ages — people are waiting longer to get married now, and puberty, when most people begin developing sexual urges and curiosity beyond their own personal exploration of themselves, waits for no man or woman.
proponents of abstinence-only sex ed will insist that heterosexual procreative intercourse within the confines of marriage is the societal ideal to which we all ought to aspire. that’s fine — but it’s unrealistic.
to break it down for you, by age 20, 77% of men and women have had premarital sex. by the age of 44, that number jumps to 95%. 97% of all people who have had sex did it before marriage. that’s nearly everyone.
you are perfectly welcome to believe the world is flat, but don’t be surprised when your boat starts going round in circles — and in the case of abstinence-only sex ed, not only does this blatant disregard for facts send you spinning, it flat out sinks people’s boats.
abstinence-only sex ed is irresponsible to our youth. that might sound like an odd blanket statement to make — and i’ve no doubt it will make some people bristle. but it’s true. here’s why.
first of all, read back up a few paragraphs where you see that abstinence until marriage is not and has not been the societal norm — trying to get people to not have sex is like trying to stop the sun in its tracks. a: good luck with that, and b: you’re gonna get burned.
next, abstinence-only (the entire point of this mindset) tries to keep adolescents and young adults from having sex until marriage. this leaves no room for any other kind of information, because they operate on the premise that young people just don’t need it if they’re not going to have sex.
my head always starts spinning a little bit when i think about that. first of all, young people are having sex. and they’re going to keep doing it. period. secondly, by refusing to give them information about what they’re already doing and almost certainly will do before marriage, we are putting them in danger.
that bears repeating. by refusing to inform adolescents comprehensively about sex, we are putting them in harm’s way. i’m really not sure why the people who teach abstinence-only have such blinders on to this obvious, scientifically supported truth, but there it is. they’re ready to doom our youth to teen pregnancy (on the rise for the first time in a decade and a half!), sexually transmitted infections (also rising like a tide — mostly in abstinence-only zones), and the more subtle issues of psychological problems that come with enforcing strict adherence to traditional gender roles, ignoring homosexuals entirely, and laying on guilt trips right and left to discourage sexual behavior.
you think i’m kidding? let’s take teen pregnancy as a for instance. america’s teen pregnancy rate for every 1000 teen women is 5. oh, wait. that’s holland. america’s is 53. yes, i typed that correctly. america’s teen pregnancy rate is 53 live births for every 1000 teenage women. in case the shock value of that is lost on you — well. it just shouldn’t be lost on you. take that in for a second. then understand this: the teen pregnancy rate in america dwarfs every other western nation in the world. the closest country on the list to us in terms of numbers? indonesia. at 55 live births per 1000 population. it’s dismal. it’s appalling. and quite frankly, it has nothing to do with how much or little teens have sex–they have sex in europe, too, just more responsibly and beginning later in life.
what does this have to do with abstinence-only? well, for starters, the teen pregnancy rate is much higher in states that use predominantly abstinence-only sex ed. states like texas and mississippi, who use this form of “education” statewide have the highest rates — well above the national average.
that’s an old table (2) — but the trends are the same, and also, the pregnancy rate in the very red states is rising. thank bush and his millions of dollars of funds for abstinence-only for that. most blue states refused this funding.
let’s talk for a moment about this funding. in the ages of the bush administration, huge amounts of taxpayer dollars were spent — upwards of $100 million per year at the beginning of his term and close to $200 million toward the end — on funding abstinence-only “education” curricula. in a report done by the us house of representatives committee on government reform and headed up by representative henry waxman (d-california), it was shown that out of the 13 curricula funded through federal money — your tax dollars — 11 of them (over 80%) contain gross factual errors, blatant falsehoods, and distorted information. worse, the only two to escape this definition were the least commonly used. among the errors and distortions were the following: false information about the effectiveness of contraceptives, the risks of abortion, and the transmission of sexual infections; blurring science and religion; perpetuating gender stereotypes; gross scientific errors. (3)
the biggest errors perpetrated by these curricula are in regards to the effectiveness of contraceptives against pregnancy and sti transmission. for instance, that condoms allow for the transmission of HIV 31% of the time, which is not at all true. these programs are only allowed to discuss contraceptives in this context — failure rates — but this doesn’t excuse them from their utter disregard for fact. the correct rates for condom failure are 15% for typical use and 2-3% for perfect use. just doesn’t have the same punch as the 31% number they got from using fake information, does it? the center of disease control states that condoms are highly effective at preventing the spread of HIV when used correctly and consistently — something abstinence-only preachers (i can’t call them educators with any kind of honesty) want to keep adolescents from knowing. in addition to that, they spread absurdly incorrect information — one study went so far as to assert that HIV can be transmitted via sweat.
on top of all that, many of these curricula perpetuate gender stereotyping as fact — that all women just want to be princesses rescued by some strong, dashing knight type. these programs also try to tout their religious ideals as societal normalcy — something we’ve already seen to be completely wrong. SPRANS, one of the largest abstinence-only organizations receiving funding, mandates that its curricula teach that waiting till marriage to have sex is the expected standard for all people, which, when taken into account that 95% of all people have premarital sex is so dead wrong, they might as well assert that not eating is the preferred method to stave off starvation. it’s that backward.
abstinence-only sex ed is counterintuitive when you take into account the other social ideals of those who tout it. think about what i just said about america’s teen pregnancy rate. now consider this one: america’s abortion rate is 30.2 per 1000 population. compare that with holland, at 4.
the reason this is relevant is because the people who state abstinence until marriage as the societal ideal are almost always hailing from the religious right — the same people who bring us the anti-abortion tirades.
take a deep breath before you read this one. because it’s a shocker. the best way to stop abortions is to stop unplanned pregnancies in the first place.
i know, right? who’d think of that one? bask for a moment in my utter genius. consider what we know so far: 95% of all people have sex before marriage. abstinence-only sex ed only tells kids to not have sex — by stipulation, abstinence-only curricula are forbidden from mentioning contraceptives except to mention failure rates. america has a shocking teen pregnancy rate compared to other western nations. america has a much higher abortion rate than other western nations.
countries that employ comprehensive, age-appropriate sex education boast low numbers of teen and unplanned pregnancies and much, much lower abortion rates. instead of purposely blindfolding ourselves, we need to see what we can learn from people who are saving their teens from unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, and having to make that choice that no woman ever wants to have to make. they’re doing something right. and i can tell you what it is.
comprehensive sex education saves our youth. let’s get something absolutely clear. there is no magical age where adolescents become adults. they don’t hit 18 and mystically glean the ability to make responsible choices. it’s a process. they’re not fully responsible about making choices when they’re in their teens — but then again, a lot of people still make really bad choices on into adulthood. and adolescents also are not stupid.
if you treat them like children, they will respond in kind. tell them “just don’t do it,” and they’re probably going to say, “hmmmm….maybe i’ll do it.” and if you couple that with keeping them ignorant about how to protect themselves, you get america’s blossoming teen pregnancy rates — and a lot of those young women will go off and end said pregnancies. remember that the figure of 53 per 1000 population is live births. add to that the abortion rate, and you get amuch higher ballpark figure of teen pregnancies in total.
in countries that have more open attitudes about sex, where they teach age appropriate comprehensive sex information, they have much lower instances of teen pregnancy and disease. in addition to that, adolescents in these countries are more likely to delay first intercourse than their american counterparts. i believe the average age in america is around 16 — in holland, it’s nearly 18.
comprehensive sex ed is not about encouraging students to go off and go at it. it’s not about touting how good it feels or trying to convince adolescents to have sex — comprehensive sex ed maintains firmly that abstinence is the only 100% effective way to ensure that one will not get pregnant, diseased, etc. but it does this within the framework that all of these adolescents will have sex in their lifetime, and that the overwhelming majority (i hesitate to even say majority, because it implies a less definite number than 9.5/10) will do it before marriage. it is responsible to adolescents to give them valuable information. whether they wait or not, they need to know it. it’s relevant to everyone. and failing to teach them is irresponsible at best, reckless and dangerous at worst.
the socially conservative argument that telling students the facts about sex will encourage them to go out and do it like bunnies is a blatant falsehood. fact is, the more correct information students have, the less likely they are to go out and bang everyone in sight, the more likely they are to use contraception consistently and correctly, and the more likely they are to wait longer to have sex.
there is a great comic by big fat whale that illustrates the absurdity of such a claim.
here’s the bottom line. if we lived in a world where there was even a question about abstinence being a competitor for the title of “societal norm,” abstinence-only sex ed….would still be irresponsible and damaging to our nation’s youth. regardless of how long a person intends to wait to have sex, having correct, open, and honest information about human sexuality is relevant to his or her life. it’s a part of who we are. human beings are sexual creatures. and that sexuality comes in many different forms — it is a beautiful part of our existence here.
abstinence-only sex “education” also completely ignores the homosexual minority of students — it fails to address their needs, mainly because the creators of abstinence-only curricula do not recognize homosexuality as a valid, natural form of sexual expression. the creators of these curricula completely ignore gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender youth, because they flat out think that homosexuality is a deviant, sinful aberration, and therefore do not merit notice…except maybe to tell them to just be straight and wait.
it’s important for everyone to understand how our bodies work, how our reproductive cycles work, how the mechanics of sex work, the psychological aspects of sex and the emotional aspects. the physical pleasure and the possible consequences. because even once people get married, they might not want to have kids right away (or, god forbid, at all). it’s important that all people have that information so they can make informed decisions and treat their partners with the respect and dignity they deserve.
adolescents are people. they are young adults. and they are making choices, whether you agree with them or not. some of these choices are responsible, some are not. they deserve to know what they’re getting into. they deserve candid discussion about sexuality — how it affects them and their lives. they deserve the best protection and power that we can put in their hands — the power of knowledge. they will never learn responsibility under a rock. and if they don’t get good information, they will get wrong information. virginity pledges break easier than condoms. failure to educate our youth sets them up for failure that can cost them their time, their teen years, and their lives.
make the right choice. don’t turn a blind eye to the reality of our society — work within its parameters. be honest with our youth. teach them to respect their bodies and each other. because they are more capable then you give them credit for. give them a chance. i think they’ll surprise you.

Get Me Out: A History of Childbirth from the Garden of Eden to the Sperm Bank by Randi Hutter Epstein, M.D. (W. W. Norton; $24.95; 302 pages)
Medical Journalist Randi Hutter Epstein presents an easy-to-understand, yet not patronizing, overview of childbirth across time. Each of the book’s five parts features some aspect of the cold, unvarnished reality faced by pregnant women and the subsequent delivery of their babies. The time frame discussed in the book spans the ages; however, the 19th and 20th centuries are Epstein’s primary focus. Clearly, fads and political movements in these two centuries have had a heavy influence on how childbirth has been addressed. The ongoing struggle between physicians and midwives for clientele became an ugly smear campaign, never mind that nearly all doctors were male and that they perpetuated ludicrous theories for hundreds of years causing massive harm to their patients.
“In the meantime, doctors were doing what they considered the best medicine. They believed they were saving lives by luring women away from midwives and into the hospital, where doctors could control the business of babies. Ironically, what they thought was (the) best medical care was sometimes the deadliest.”
Dr. Epstein conveys her views in a most engaging manner. She has a very strong sense of irony and makes good use of it. This reviewer was unaware of the sometimes-bizarre methods employed in the past during delivery, including twilight sleep that wiped out all memory of the childbirth experience. Never mind that during labor a woman using twilight sleep had to be lashed to the delivery table in order to keep her from falling off while writhing in pain.
There is some overlap among chapters with regard to the material covered. A reader interested in a particular section of the book will find a comprehensive write-up much like a stand-alone article. This makes perfect sense because the author is a widely published medical journalist.
There does not seem to be an intended audience for Get Me Out. Rather, most anyone can benefit from the book, as was the case for this reviewer whose granddaughter was born right after I finished reading it. By the way, Dr. Epstein has four children of her own which qualifies her on yet another level.
This review was written by Ruta Arellano. A review copy was received from the publisher.

Alita Door Handles September 16th, 2017 - 09:37:07
There are two types of handles, when it comes to general use: external or outdoor handles which are utilized on all main entrances to the home, be it front door, back door, side door or service door; and internal handles which are used for the doors inside the house such as bedroom doors and toilet doors. One of the most popular broad types of external door handles is the lever type, which is commonly used in European homes. External latches are normally bigger as they frequently come with key-in locks for security, and are called lever lock handles. Indoor handles (or lever latch handles) are smaller, as they come without locks, and key-in locks are normally installed separately on the door. There are also external handles with combined door knockers, a very practical alternative when your electric door buzzer is out of order.
Nice and easy, and low maintenance, the best way to keep your chrome handles looking great is to dust them and give them a quick wash over with the tried and tested soft cloth and warm soapy water combination. Make sure to dry thoroughly afterwards with a lint free cloth or towel. An occasional wipe over with a light oil will also help maintain the appearance of your handles. Dont use metal polishes or any kind of abrasive cleaner.
Italian door handles are especially used to give your house a luxurious and stylish look as they are most elegant looking door hardware. These handles are famous for their unique designer products that are perfect to give your house a unique look. These handles come in various types, polish and designs and most of them are made from high quality material. These handles are suitable for both interior and exterior use and you can also use them on bathroom and kitchen doors.
Because it is used quite a number of times in a day, the quality of door handles should be able to resist the pressures exerted on them. It is a positive attitude not to consider choosing handles as wastage of time as they are part of the house interior to be used frequently. Some important tips in choosing these can help out in the process of fitting the right handle to the door. The earliest doors extant are approximately 5000 years old. Door handles, as devices to manipulate a gateway, became a necessity shortly after the invention of the pivoting mechanism. To most, pivots are simply known as hinges, however, there are nearly as many hinge designs and configurations as there are handles.

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi is a psychologist best known for naming the psychological concept of Flow and writing the book on it. A few years later he wrote The Evolving Self: A Psychology for the Third Millenium, which integrates Flow with other concepts to provide the reader with a general concept of living a life that is both selfishly enjoyable and compatible with the needs and challenges of the 21st century.
Part of TES covers the concepts of Flow, but in a higher-level systems thinking sort of way compared to the original Flow book. Flow is that "in the zone" experience we achieve when doing things we enjoy, when we are highly focused and lose the sense of time passing by. This occurs when our tasks are well matched to our skill level - difficult but not frustratingly so. An activity with a low level challenge done by a person with a low skill level causes apathy. A low challenge level with a high skill level causes boredom. A high challenge level with a low skill level causes anxiety. Flow is that rare combination when we are forced to focus consciously on the task at hand in order to be successful, and our skills improve in doing so.
The rest of TES touches on a bunch of other concepts, but one of the main ideas is that life is all about fighting entropy and increasing complexity. While entropy is increasing universally, living things fight entropy, through organization at the microscopic level (DNA, cells) on up to the environment (farms, cities). Just as it is in our nature to view increasing entropy (wasting resources, vandalism, etc.) as "bad", it is in our nature to become more complex, both as individuals and as a society. Complexity is a balance between differentiation (attaining various skills, ideas, etc.) and integration (a harmonious interplay of these skills, ideas, etc.), with these two parts needing to grow together. Too much integration without differentiation would lead to over-specialization in one area with vulnerabilities in another. Too much differentiation without integration would be fragmented and chaotic. For a society-level example, it seems that America's level of integration is not keeping pace with its level of differentiation.
TES encourages the reader to think about how to optimize their life in a way that builds skills (rather than working a boring job and sitting in front of the TV), while taking on the 21st century environmental and social challenges we face. Clearly it is very compatible with ERE. Mihaly's ideal self is one who is continuously challenging oneself in a way that benefits society, potentially with a group of like-minded individuals forming some sort of altruistic organization. I see this as a way to live one's life post-FIRE.
ERE encourages one to continue becoming more efficient and less reliant on dollars even after financial independence is achieved, but otherwise you could just do whatever you want as long as it is compatible with your personal web of goals. On the other hand, the Evolving Self idealist could be done with personal finance skill-building after FI is achieved and the challenge it poses diminishes, then moving on to find or create a career that offers more flow/complexity. Many people would love to achieve financial independence and retire early from their career, but in today's society people still achieve flow mostly through work, and most would have difficulty filling infinite leisure time with activities that would generate flow (as opposed to mindless or "relaxing" activities which would be detrimental in excess). They will end up looking for work somewhere else even if they don't need the money, and the new job may not be any better than the first career they quit. The Evolving Self acknowledges that quitting work or work-like activities altogether would be problematic, and helps the reader start thinking about the types of work that would lead to a life that is both personally fulfilling and beneficial to society.

Stefani from the delicious food blog Cupcake Project has done it again with this innovative confection entitled Cupcakes Benedict. From the moment bacon crossed paths with a stream of maple syrup on some lucky soul's breakfast plate, the morning meal would never be the same. That irresistible smoky, sweet and salty flavor combination has given rise to an endless parade of bacon-inspired sweets and these rise and shine cupcakes are no exception; however, these creative cups of cake may well be the first in history to sport a poached egg.
Swapping out a tired English muffin for a vivacious maple-infused cupcake, Cupcake Project has livened up the old diner classic and created a decadent salty-sweet symphony. These gorgeous golden cakes are topped with Black Forest Bacon and a plump poached egg. The entire petite dessert is then doused in a lush, velvety Maple Hollandaise sauce.
Cupcakes Benedict is without a doubt the naughtiest way to start your day, but these seductive cakes are most certainly worth the indiscretion.

WikiLeaks Says Its California Web Host Complied With U.S. Document Demand
By Linda Sandler – Aug 25, 2011 7:57 AM ET
WikiLeaks said its Web host in California complied with a court order obtained by the U.S. for production of information on Julian Assange, the company’s founder.
The California host, Dynadot, received an order to produce the information under the Patriot Act, WikiLeaks said on a Twitter news feed. The U.S. has been investigating Assange and others who may have helped leak diplomatic cables and classified military documents through the WikiLeaks website.
The order by a magistrate judge in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, filed under seal on Jan. 4, demanded customer or subscriber account information for each account registered to, or associated with WikiLeaks, its founder, or the company’s domain name from Nov. 1, 2009, according to a copy of the court order posted on Twitter.
A record of the sealed order couldn’t be confirmed immediately in court documents. Calls and e-mails to Gareth Peirce, a lawyer for Assange, and Dynadot President Todd Han weren’t immediately returned.

In order for a child being happy and develop well, the role that parents play is quite critical. They are the kids’s first heroes and friends. Children learn almost all of their first lessons and concepts on the planet around them from other parents. This is why parents should view the solutions to put their children’s creativity and mental abilities to positive use. Among the easiest solutions to do this is thru encouraging the kids in coloring at a young age. Children who begin coloring at an early age have fewer mental problems than those who don’t. They are also better writers and artists, have fuller imaginations, and learn important life lessons and values easier.
Children who have a solid and active imagination use a powerful tool that will aid them well throughout their lives. Coloring books and coloring pages can be a terrific tool for getting were only available in this process task. This is because such coloring pages develop and encourage the creativity lying latent in the child. Children are able to imagine what sort of picture might try different color combinations, this also simple act has the strength to produce a powerful and flexible mind.
Besides helping your children to build up their imaginations, parents can utilize stories through the coloring pages to instruct their kids practical lessons. While your children are enjoying the process of coloring the photographs, they are often taught values which are important for them to grasp at a young age. Lessons from your real-world can also be taught concurrently. When parents take the time to tell their children stories since they color, the child’s imagination is further strengthened and enhanced.
Many parents know already that coloring pages help develop their children’s artistic abilities. They may not be knowledgeable about the ways that using coloring pages might help their children to enhance their skills towards writing. As children practice coloring, their abilities to stay inside lines improve after a while. This focused capability to control the pencils or crayons precisely is an important part of being capable to hold a writing instrument still and steady for when it’s about time to draw the letters with the alphabet. Artistic abilities are cultivated and strengthened in children that well at coloring pages. Besides this, they are going to still find it easier to start writing their alphabet letters if the time for this comes.
Children who use coloring pages may also better their ability to concentrate. Being able to concentrate is a vital skill for kids to have, and also the earlier they start developing it, the higher. Focusing on a drawing on a website does much for children. Children learn to become patient as they take their time to use colors to the pictures inside the coloring book. Problems with hyperactivity and add disorders, in addition to add, adhd hyperactivity disorder, also called ADHD, are diminished, psychologists believe, in kids who devote a good portion of time to coloring pages.
Finally, children who will be linked to coloring pages probably will experience fewer psychological problems when they are young. The reason just for this is how the minds of children, who’re in a position to enjoy employing their imaginations to produce exciting worlds stuffed with fantasy and adventure, are strong and flexible. This coloring creativity aids them in steering clear of problems like childhood depression.
The vast amounts of benefits to children practicing on coloring pages simply can stop overstated from your psychological viewpoint. It’s important to start children on easy images in order to experience feeling of achievement. As their coloring skill improves, they are often given more advanced patterns and images to color. Giving children books and pages to color is often a impressive strategy to enable them to become better artists and writers, to enable them to concentrate better, to relieve the reality that they’ll are afflicted by mental problems, and to teach them important life lessons and values. Children who begin coloring in a young age will relish the advantages it might bestow for many years.

5) start research work on unmanned tank
More or lessWhy do we still use T-55s as mine ploughs? Because, they are expendables?
2 years old seriously?Indian Army seeks active protection systems for its T-90S/SK MBTs
The Indian Army (IA) has invited responses from local vendors by 12 May regarding the supply of 818 modular active protection systems (APSs) to enhance the survivability of its T-90S/SK ‘Bhishma’ main battle tanks (MBTs).
In a 13 April expression of interest (EOI) the IA said the new protective systems for these tanks, which are “likely to remain in service beyond 2050”, are to be acquired under the ‘Indigenously Designed Developed and Manufactured’ (IDDM) category of the Ministry of Defence’s (MoD’s) Defence Acquisition Procedure 2020, and will need to have a “50% indigenous design and development content”. Prospective vendors will be permitted to enter into arrangements with foreign manufacturers to develop the equipment.
The APSs are required to have both hard-kill and soft-kill capabilities. The soft-kill component must provide both smoke discharge and infrared jamming effects, and provide audio-visual warnings when the tank is either lased or fired upon.
The hard-kill component is required to be capable of engaging shaped-charge threats such as rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), and high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds fired from tank guns. The protection level required was quantified at 90% against ATGMs, rockets, and RPGs, and 70% against incoming 125 mm HEAT rounds.
A non-required, but “desirable” request was for the APS to be capable of defeating kinetic energy (KE) projectiles. That said, the system is required to at least have upgrade potential to defeat KE threats in the future.

this deal went nowhereRafael Trophy APS to equip on Indian Army T-90S Bhishma MBT
A tweet posted by Kunal Biswas on October 26 shows a model of Rafael’s Trophy APS (Active Protection System) adapted to an Indian army T-90S Bhishma main battle tank. Some 3,000 tanks and other armored vehicles might be fitted with this APS following a major decision taken during a (Defense Acquisition Council) DAC meeting held in February 2021.
As written by Force India Magazine, the T-90S has space constraints and its Auxiliary Power systems might not be sufficient enough to support the APS, but the new T-90MS being procured has a new APU just behind the left sprocket wheel. However, the variant India would receive will be without Arena APS.
It is known that an APS can be evaluated primarily on the parameters — sensor threat detection range, reaction time, types of countermeasures, threat interception range, jamming resistance, interception methodology and multi-shot interception capability additionally engineering parameters such as size, weight and power consumption will also be considered. APS has two types of sensors active (Millimeter Wave radar, Light Detection and Ranging) passive (Laser Warning Receiver, Ultra Violet missile warning system) the sensor information is fed to the countermeasures which can be from soft-kill or hard-kill. The soft-kill countermeasures consist of multispectral aerosol smoke grenades which can blind all missiles including fire and forget missiles, Electro-Optical/ Infrared (EO/IR) jammers can jam Semi-Active Command Line of Sight (SACLOS) missiles which constitute 70 percent of the current missile threat. They are simpler systems that require directional information from sensors.
Hard-kill countermeasures use kinetic means to destroy, disable or deflect incoming projectiles, they require more precise positional information including direction, elevation, distance and velocity of the projectile. The future challenge for APS is in intercepting Armour Piercing Fin Stabilised Discarding Sabot (APFSDS) rounds which travel at velocities of 1,500m/s-1,800m/s which is six-eight times faster than missiles. Ideally, the Indian Army would look to incorporate both countermeasures to maximize the survivability by adding more layers to the proverbial survivability onion peel, Force India concludes.

Floral Friday: Finding Myself
My interest in photographing flowers has led to a fascination with multi-petaled flowers. The first two are straw flowers that are annuals in Michigan. They are interesting because they close up at night.
Notice how the straw flower is very orderly, with each petal neatly arranged and in it’s place. The others appear disorderly but I can almost identify a pattern in places.
I can’t help but think of my life as I look at these. I really want my life to be orderly and neat and predictable. That is what I say I’m working towards, and most of the time I feel like I have some control. I want my house to be orderly and neat and most of the time it is – now that I don’t have small children living here. Okay it could be orderly if you give me 10-15 minutes. But just underneath the order of life and home is disorder – mild chaos just waiting to happen.
And I think I like it like that. When I look at the flowers without perfect order I smile – from the depths of my soul. I like being a little out of control. There is beauty in symmetry but there is also beauty in dis-symmetry. There is excitement about dis-symmetry, about the unexpected and the unexplained. Not having everything perfect seems to allow for more to come in. (Some logic is missing in that last sentence but it makes sense to me.)
Over the past few months I have decided that my house doesn’t have to be neat and clean for me to have friends over. I have friends coming tonight and I might not get the dust off the tables, because I would prefer to use my limited energy going to the farmer’s market and making an apple pie. A little clutter and dust doesn’t seem to matter but the pie will bring us closer together with talk and laughter. Our friends like it this way.
I think this rose best portrays who I am. It is open, showing the complexity of the inner. The inner seems to have a cross, as my faith is very central to who I am but I don’t proclaim it loudly. It is rather private. The outer is loose and gentle and freely unfurling. Even though I am in my late 60’s there is still some unfurling to do. I am still in the process. I can also be a bit prickly if people try to hold on too tightly or are careless around me. It helps people remember to play nice.
If you would like to do a post on “finding yourself in a flower – or other object” please leave me a link in a comment. I would like to get to know you better.

The document below draws on common ground between centre left parties, specifically the Green Party, Labour, Liberal Democrats and Mebyon Kernow. It does not pretend to be complete and comprehensive, covering every area of policy. Nor does it seek to claim that there are no serious policy differences or distinct party identities – that is all too evident. Rather it seeks to demonstrate that there is sufficient common ground to form the basis of dialogue and co-operation on certain key issues. We therefore urge members from centre left parties as well as the wider public who embrace progressive values, to take seriously the imperative of working together at both the local and national level to get the Tories out of power and to implement a progressive agenda for a better, fairer society.
While the vision includes proposals such as Proportional Representation and a Robin Hood tax that are not part of Labour party policy, the document is to be taken as a whole. It is a work-in-progress which will include amendments and changes over time. Please feel free to make comments and suggestions below

Their songs were praised as "kaikouzu" by netizens. Their feelings of life were narrated with the classical pictures of Spring Festival Gala in the stage background, which moved the audience. To the audience's surprise, Wang Kai on the stage actually lost a round of weight compared with the previous image on the screen. Instead, Jay Chou, who had five spring festival galas, had two chins. Fat to fat, "confession balloon" in the combination of magic, visual effects of the performance is quite handsome. 'ouch! Not bad!' said Feng Gong's saying, 'I miss you so much' finally had an opponent.
What's more surprising is that Huang Bo, Chen Weiting and Zhang Yixing brought the song and dance "the best stage". Although it's not consistent with the other two painting styles, we have to say that Huang Bo's stage performance is so strong that the two long legs, high appearance and fresh meat become their own foil. But considering the retro disco style of this song, the older Huang Bo is more dominant, and the other two are not What a pity. Young also has young good, three consecutive years on CCTV Spring Festival gala's tfboys singing "I have an appointment with 2035" is also very brainwashing, three small only on stage also caused a wave of turmoil among netizens.
What's more exciting is that Wang Fei and Na Ying, who reunited on the Spring Festival Gala stage 20 years later, sang "time" which also aroused the audience's feelings of "time". I was ten years old when I heard "meet 1998" 20 years ago, and I am thirty this year. But compared with the heat of the song itself, the audience's attention seems to be focused on Faye Wong's gloves and Na Ying's eyebrows.
Jia Ling often plays the role of "triangle heart tired" in language programs. Language programs have always been the favorite part of netizens, and the Spring Festival Gala has also been leading the fashion direction of discourse. Every year, a number of popular golden sentences on screen are flashed. Different from the way of making golden sentences in the previous years, there are some original golden sentences in this year's Spring Festival Gala.
Maybe it was two years ago that they were too fierce. This year, Cai Ming and Pan Changjiang stopped pinching each other and played a pair of sweet lovers. In the skit "learning a car", Pan Changjiang's saying: "my woman doesn't need other men to be responsible", "love keeps fresh by expressing love, and love TA needs Suo coarsely" is praised by young netizens as a single dog "taking off the single". But Cai mingkua Pan Changjiang's sentence: "every time I look at him, my heart is thumping, and I look like Li Yifeng." obviously, I saw a bit of embarrassment on Li Yifeng's face under the stage.
Sun Tao's skits also produce golden sentences every year, such as "I'm proud" and "you've made a big deal" in the previous two years, and "you're manic" this year. In his essay "put forward opinions", the golden sentence "it's hard to do things with a good face" is also quite a warning.
Jia Ling's sketches can be called the most popular language class this year. In the background of the Spring Festival Gala in the absence of happy Mahua, Jia Ling, who was absent last year and returned this year, obviously held back her tricks and became the laughing point of the whole Spring Festival Gala. In the sketch "true and false teacher", the words "what to pay at the beginning of school, what to worry about!" and "pinching the students' feet, causing a very bad impact" have also brought a lot of obstacles. However, the most impressive memory for the audience is the exquisite story structure and the in place performance of several actors, especially the three images of the hour workers, parents and teachers, and Jia Lingzhen, who switches roles in one second, is really 'very tired'.
The grand and majestic performance of the young compere
This year's Spring Festival Gala has opened up branch venues again. The five continents celebrate together and the whole world is jubilant. Guizhou Qiandongnan, Guangdong Zhuhai, Shandong Qufu, Tai'an and Hainan Sanya usher in the jubilant moment together with CCTV hall 1.
There is no space limit for the outdoor stage, which is the most beautiful in history. The song "courage" performed in Zhuhai branch of Guangdong Province cooperates with the circus performance, and forms two stages on the ground and perpendicular to the ground. Through the special angle of follow-up shooting, the whole scene is majestic and visually stimulating.
Sanya Branch of CCTV Spring Festival Gala, located at Sanya International Cruise Port, is glittering. The beautiful stage of 4500 square meters is connected with the landscape and urban landscape of Sanya. Tai'an, Shandong Province, is like Mount Tai's towering stage, and Qiandongnan branch of Guizhou Province has a passionate and characteristic dance, which gives the audience a sense of enjoying the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland. Of course, I also want to thank the actors in the branch. From the close-up of Huang Xiaoming, Zhong Hanliang, Yan Chengxu and other actors in Tai'an Branch, we can see that the temperature is really low.
It's also hard for the host. The host team of this year's Spring Festival Gala is young as a whole. The older generation of Zhu Jun and Dong Qing, the two hosts of this year's Spring Festival Gala, has failed to appear this year. Instead, they are supported by the backbone forces Kang Hui, Zhu Xun, Ren Luyu, the younger generation of Li Sisi and nigmati. However, several young hosts are able to serve as the leaders and accomplish the task excellently.
In addition to the branch venue, this Spring Festival Gala also introduced a wave of "God operation". 48 extreme skydivers from many countries spelled the word "Fu" with their bodies at 5500 meters, which made the audience enjoy it. Brother in the sky, steady!


Ara Venn, the investment manager selected to run the Affordable Homes Guarantee Scheme (AHGS), has appointed former housing minister Mark Prisk and experienced social housing finance professional Sarah Wall as non-executive directors.
Mr Prisk and Ms Wall will sit on the board of Saltaire Housing, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ara Venn, which will be responsible for providing £3bn in cost-effective, long-term loans of up to 30 years to registered providers in England through the AHGS.
The AGHS was revived in the 2019 spring Budget after closing down in 2015 and will offer a guaranteed source of debt to fund sub-market rented housing. Ara Venn, owned by Singapore-based asset manager ARA, was picked to run the scheme ahead of UK-based organisations such as The Housing Finance Corporation (THFC), MORhomes and GB Social Housing.
Mr Prisk, who was housing minister in David Cameron’s government from 2012 to 2013, will serve as chairperson and non-executive director, having served as an MP until the December 2019 election.
Ms Wall, who will serve as a non-executive director, has more than 20 years of experience as a senior funder to social housing. She previously served as a non-executive director at the Regulator of Social Housing and rated social housing bonds at Fitch Ratings.
Commenting on her appointment, Ms Wall said: “Having run some of the largest funders of social housing, I am committed to contributing to the development of more affordable homes for our essential workers. Now, more than ever, we owe those fighting on the frontline of COVID-19 truly affordable, high-quality and comfortable homes. I am very pleased to support the scheme.”
Sitting on the board of Saltaire, the concessionaire for the AHGS, the two will oversee the financing of social rent, affordable rent and shared ownership housing in England. The AHGS is expected to fund 17,000 new affordable homes.
Mr Prisk said: “In my previous role as the housing minister, I helped to establish the first affordable housing guarantee scheme because I believe it is a great way to provide cost-effective loans to build more affordable homes for people. I look forward to continue playing my part to support the sustainable development of the UK’s housing sector.”
Richard Green, partner and portfolio manager of the scheme at ARA Venn, said: “We are delighted to welcome Mark and Sarah to the board of Saltaire Housing. With their extensive and complementary experience in the social housing industry, we are confident that we will be able to successfully support the delivery of the scheme.”


Malaysia's Kelantan opts for Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine over Sinovac, other states to follow
KOTA BARU (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) – The Kelantan Health Department’s director said on Thursday (July 15) the Malaysian state will stop dispensing the Sinovac Covid-19 vaccine and replace it with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at all the state’s vaccination centres by the end of July.
Kelantan health director Dr Zaini Hussin said supplies of the Sinovac vaccine would be halted at the end of the month.
“From Sunday (July 18), all vaccination centres in Kelantan will only be supplied with enough Sinovac vaccines for second doses,” he was reported as saying by Malaysian daily Harian Metro on Thursday.
He declined to explain why the state would stop using the Sinovac vaccine but said it did not involve a lack of supply of the vaccines to Kelantan.
“After this, Kelantan will only use the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine,” he was quoted as saying.
Health Minister Dr Adham Baba said at a news conference on Thursday the decision to stop administering Sinovac was mainly down to vaccine supplies, and that other states will follow Kelantan’s lead and predominantly offer the Pfizer vaccine.
“For Pfizer, we have ordered a total of around 45 million doses while for Sinovac we ordered only around 16 million doses. So it started in Kelantan and soon other states will follow,” he said.
Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah corroborated the move, saying Pfizer made up the majority of Malaysia’s National Immunisation Programme’s portfolio.
“Basically it is because we have sufficient supply of the Pfizer vaccines, of more than 44 million doses, so now the main vaccine that will be used is the Pfizer vaccine,” he said.
Kelantan’s Dr Zaini was also reported by Bernama news agency as saying that should the federal government supply the state with Sinovac or any other Covid-19 vaccines in the future, they would still be used.
Malaysia has fully vaccinated 12.3 per cent, or 4 million, of its 32 million population. At least 26.5 per cent of the population have received at least one dose, officials say.

Floral ideas for your wedding
8 January 2019
Floral decorations represent one of the most important elements in the setting up of a wedding, together with a bouquet, church, location and so on. It’s fundamental addressing to specialized companies that can assure you everything you need.
The day of the wedding has always been decorated by ornamental decorations made with flowers; this was a strong tradition in the past as well.
- According to an ancient Arabic tradition, the bride has to wear lots of flowers, as a symbol of good luck and a happy life. The best ones were orange flowers, thanks to their sweet flavor;
- The Greek preferred myrtle, an aromatic plant with an iconic smell, fresh and bitter. It was a sacred flower to Goddess Venus and it represented love;
- During Elizabethan age, English brides considered rosemary as a symbol of love and loyalty;
- Brides in Provence would use a simple bouquet made with sun-dried wildflowers;
- In Italy, the bouquet became a tradition between VII and IX century, during Moors invasion in Sicily. It is a symbol of pureness and innocence.
The bride’s bouquet
The bouquet plays a very important role for the bride, either from a symbolic and aesthetic point of view. We recommend to match the style of the general decorations with the bouquet in order to maintain homogeneity. This detail must follow the bride’s dress, according to its shape and color: that’s why it’s useful to have a photo of the dress before choosing the bouquet.
When it comes to the flowers style, we suggest you use the seasonal ones, based on your personal taste; don’t forget that simplicity means good taste. There are various styles: compact and rounded, made with a bunch of little flowers; a beam with long stalks flowers; a cascade of leaning flowers; or just one flower. The key points are: a simple bouquet, seasonal flowers, light scent and colors and an easy handle.
Floral decorations for the church
The choice has to follow the architecture and the inside of the church, according to the space, the aisle and arches. Generally, for the inside of a church we recommend light and bright flowers; the size is based on the largeness of the church (a small one requires small bunches, a bigger one can be decorated with heavy decorations). If there are frescos, don’t use colored flowers, in order to avoid too many colors. In modern and bright churches we recommend green ornamental plants with a few light flowers; you can also add some candles.
Usually you can decorate these spots:
- Front door
- Space around the altar
- Banister between the altar and the aisle
- Desks along the aisle
Decorative boxes can have different styles; from white osier buckets to white pots and simple ribbons. Don’t forget petals and rice to throw to the couple.
Floral compositions for the party
Floral decorations are often managed by a floral-designer that will guarantee the same style from the church to the party. Usually you can decorate these spots (in villas, restaurants, country-houses and farmhouses):
- Buffet tables
- Guests tables
- Possible outdoor sites (terraces, gardens, dancefloor)
We recommend to use flowers that match the style of the ambient and that are not too scented, especially near the food. Fantasy is fundamental in order to create gorgeous effects that get your guests’ attention. Remember that you can decorate your car too, usually with flowers on the floorboard between the back window and the rear seatback; but also on the hood.


Lybra LGR cooled masterbatch metering unitThe masterbatch metering unit for PET applications
The unit can accommodate up to two independent dosing stations, which can even be of different capacities and be retrofitted to meet changing production needs.
Each dosing station can be configured for individual capacities ranging from 1 g/sec, up to 170 kg/h.
Each dosing station comprises a hopper containing the granules to be dosed and is equipped with a proprietary loss-in-weight control to measure the amount of material carried by the dosing screw to the PET main stream. The mixture is then continuously transferred by gravity from the Lybra’s central block to the plasticizing screw of the moulding machine.
The dosing auger is available in three different configurations with single, dual or triple helical shaft, for controlling material dosing in low percentages with a high level of accuracy and repeatability.
Lybra LGR is particularly suitable wherever there is a need for frequent color or production changes, which thus entail promptly adapting the operating conditions of each metering station.
● Control and management of masterbatch consumption
● No dosing variations: 4 times more accurate
● Advanced touch screen HMI
● Winfactory 4.0 - PET ready


The Era of Smart Materials Transforming the FutureJeet Rathod
Smart materials represent a groundbreaking advancement in the field of material science and engineering. These innovative materials possess the ability to sense, respond, and adapt to changes in their environment, enabling them to perform a wide range of novel functionalities. This abstract provides an overview of smart materials, their characteristics, and their diverse applications.Smart materials are designed with unique properties that can be altered in response to external stimuli such as temperature, light, pressure, or magnetic fields. By integrating various sensing and actuation mechanisms, smart materials can exhibit intelligent behavior, making them highly versatile and adaptable. The most commonly used smart materials include shape memory alloys, piezoelectric materials, electrochromic materials, thermochromic materials, and magnetostrictive materials. Shape memory alloys, for instance, possess the ability to recover their original shape upon exposure to heat, making them ideal for applications such as self-repairing structures and biomedical devices. Piezoelectric materials, on the other hand, can convert mechanical stress into electrical energy, finding applications in sensors, energy harvesting, and actuators. Electrochromic materials can change their color in response to an electrical stimulus, leading to applications in smart windows, displays, and eyewear. The applications of smart materials are vast and diverse. In the aerospace industry, they are used for adaptive wing structures and morphing aircraft components, enhancing aerodynamic efficiency. In the construction sector, smart materials enable the development of self-healing concrete, responsive facades, and energy-efficient buildings. They are also employed in biomedical devices, wearable electronics, automotive systems, robotics, and energy storage systems.

For such applications to succeed, privacy and confidentiality are essential. Existing privacy-enhancing techniques rely on encryption to safeguard communication channels, and on pseudonyms to protect user identities. Nevertheless, the query contents may disclose the physical location of the user. In this paper, we present a framework for preventing location-based identity inference of users who Issue spatial queries to Location-Based Services. We propose transformations based on the well-established if-anonymity concept to compute exact answers for range and nearest neighbor search, without revealing the query source. Our methods optimize the entire process of anonymizing the requests and processing the transformed spatial queries. Extensive experimental studies suggest that the proposed techniques are applicable to real-life scenarios with numerous mobile users. © 2007 IEEE.||Source Title:||IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering||URI:||http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/41279||ISSN:||10414347||DOI:||10.1109/TKDE.2007.190662|

Crossroads (Crossroads Sage #1)
Author: Mary Ting
Publisher: World Castle
Published: April 6, 2011
Claudia Emerson has a good friend who shares the same first name and last name. That friend unfortunately dies in a tragic accident during homecoming dance. Claudia is distraught at the loss of her friend, but is even more disturbed by her dreams, which seem to take her to another place called Crossroads. Unknown to her, Crossroads is like a second heaven, a place between heaven and earth. It is where the souls of humans in comas or near death experiences may wander. Where, Claudia meets Michael, a nephilim, a half angel, half human, whom she often meets in her dreams. It turns out that this isn’t her first visit to Crossroads, which is an enigma for no human can ever travel there until Claudia.
Now the fallen and demons are after her, suspecting she must be special and it is up to Michael and the other nephilims to protect her. Her dream becomes a nightmare as more secrets are revealed, about who she really is, and the true identities of the people she loves most. Can Michael fight his growing feelings for Claudia and protect her as a guardian angel should?
First, I want to say that I really enjoyed this book. Forbidden love, fallen angels, dangerous battles; what’s not to love? There are a lot of angel stories out there these days that do not actually include church, faith, and God. While this story does incorporate all those aspects, the story line and conflict Mary has developed are very unique.
Claudia is a human that finds herself in the middle of a celestial conflict. Michael is the oh-so-swoon-worthy half angle half human with his share of secrets. When Claudia and Michael meet on one of her unexpected trips to Crossroads, sparks fly. Mainly from Michael’s rude, arrogant and just plain mean demeanor. But all bad boys have a soft side, and when Michael is appointed as Claudia’s Guardian Angel, there is no stopping this budding romance. Or is there?
As the fallen, led by the powerful Aden, begin to attack Claudia, she’s not the only one in danger. And not everyone will be safe. The secrets, betrayals, great characters, and a fight for Claudia’s affection won’t disappoint. Definitely a good read.

After the joint EU-NZ cities meeting on 27 September 2021, further online meetings were organised by partners from Lemvig (Climatorium) and Nelson (Wakatu Incorporation) without requiring input from the Australasia Helpdesk. The IURC project team has met online with Sarah Lund from the Danish Climatorium. Meetings are currently taking place every fortnight, focused on collaborative planning for a conference scheduled for 17-19 August 2022. This conference will be hosted by the Climatorium in Lemvig, but the plan is to have a session devoted to the IURC partnership. This session is looking to support youth engagement with climate actions.
Outlook for 2022
Following the launch of the New Zealand collaborations in September 2021, a lot has been achieved in just over three months. All the selected cities have shown enthusiastic collaboration with their partners, and have reached a point where they can identify priorities for joint projects leading up to city visits later in 2022. The New Zealand Government maintains a website summarising its COVID-19 border controls at https://covid19.govt.nz/travel/international-travel-and-transit/. The emergence of the Omicron variant has delayed previous announced relaxation of controls of travel from Australia, which is likely to push back plans to begin opening the border to other countries. The New Zealand Country Coordinator is monitoring announcements and will schedule study visits according to the contingency measures.
