HOK, or man-days, is a unit of labor usually used in calculating farm analysis. In general, farming days amount to 8 hours per day, which has been calculated with 1 hour of rest in it.
A common problem in calculating farm analysis is that the use of labor usually uses the labor of family members. There is no separation between time spent on “work” and time spent on household chores. Unlike office or factory employees, who clearly have office or factory entry hours and office or factory exit hours,
This makes it a challenge for researchers to calculate exactly how much money is spent on labor in farm analysis. It is not uncommon for farmers to answer in their interviews Yes, I do it as much as I can, sir. If I am free in the morning, I go to the field”. Well, if you have encountered something like this, don’t immediately close the questionnaire and turn right back to campus.
General formula for calculating farm man-days
HOK depends on the number of workers, working days, and working hours per day. The multiplication of all these factors is then divided by 8 hours as a unit of man-days. The formula becomes as follows:
man-days = (∑ labor x working days x working hours per day) / 8
In order for the interview to run effectively and the information obtained to be of high quality, it is necessary to have techniques to prepare the best possible concept. The tricks for preparing the concept are:
Detailing the cultivation process
Detailing the cultivation process from land plowing to harvesting can help enumerators or researchers capture information on HOK. For example, in shallot cultivation, the process can be broken down into: land cultivation, planting, fertilization, pest and disease control, maintenance, spraying, and harvesting. Or in rice cultivation, it can be broken down into: plowing 1 and 2, nursery, planting, maintenance of bunds, fertilizing, pest control, and harvesting.
When farmers are asked to focus on the stages of cultivation, it is likely that they will easily remember how much time they have used to take care of rice or other agricultural commodities. If the enumerator finds confusion from the farmer, do not hesitate to ask further questions. for example:
“How many days do you fertilize?”
“I usually fertilize twice” (asked days but answered times).
“That means you fertilize twice, sir.”
“How many days does the first fertilizer take, sir?”
“I work with my son for less than a day, just a short time.”
“The short time is, from what time to what time, sir?”
“Yes… leave at 8 a.m. and return home at 11 p.m.”
“Then the second fertilization, sir? …. etc.
From the example of the conversation above, we have obtained information about the first fertilization, which is done by two people in 3 hours. So the total is 6 hours of work.
This amount will be combined with the next stage of cultivation so that the total is collected and divided by 7 working hours. Why 7 working hours? Because what we calculate is the effective working hours. The number 8 in the previous formula includes an hour of rest time.
Inquire about the method of payment of wages.
Not all stages of cultivation are done by the farmers themselves or their families. Sometimes farmers use machine power, piecework, or the term “gotong royong” with their neighbors and relatives, and bawon.
Machine power can be found, for example, at the stage of plowing rice fields. From the first plow, the second, and the last plow, farmers usually spend cash to pay for it. Without further ado, we immediately asked how much money was spent on this stage. The information obtained is directly related to labor costs.
The piece-rate system is also the same as the machine, so we asked how much it costs to use the piece-rate service.
“gotong royong”. Some call it “babiran” and so on. An example of this type of labor payment is when planting rice. There are some areas that do not yet use machines and work on planting rice together. So, he invites his fellow relatives to plant rice in his rice field, and in return, he also helps to plant rice for his colleagues. So they work together to plant rice in their village (free of charge, only providing food when it is their turn to plant rice). In this case, the farmer has to pay for his partner’s labor with his own labor. Pain and fatigue are not felt because everything is done together. There are two ways to calculate the man-days.
The first way is to ask how many people participated in planting when it was their turn to plant the rice field and how many hours it took. If the farmer remembers how many and for how long, then it is done. However, most farmers will not remember the details of how many people were involved, let alone the specific time when their rice fields were planted. So using the second method, namely, how long did you participate in the gotong royong event and how many of your family members participated in the activity? This question is easier to remember and usually works better.
The Bawon system Usually used by farmers during harvest time. The wage paid for other farmers to work on the harvest is a portion of the harvest itself. The amount depends on local custom, but it is usually 9 to 1: 9 shares for the owner and 1 share for the harvester (10 percent for the harvester is easier to say). So calculating the cost of labor is done by asking how much harvest is obtained, then dividing by 90% and multiplying by 10%. Don’t forget to ask for the selling price of the rice to get the total cost of harvesting labor.
Annual versus perennial crops – farming anaysis
Asking or seeking information on man-days used in seasonal crops is more frustrating. Of course, it is impossible to ask about the planting and tillage process that may have been done 8 years or decades ago.
Unlike seasonal crops that are still in a matter of days, or at least 3 months. Still fresh and usually a job that is done repeatedly. Horticultural farmers also still remember when to buy pesticides, fungicides, complete with the price.
Farm analysis on annual crops usually uses partial analysis. In this analysis what is calculated is the margin of increase in income against the increase in costs incurred or commonly known as MBCR (Marginal Benefit Cost Ratio).
In MBCR what is calculated is how much the increase in costs incurred and how much the increase in income after doing additional treatment or treatment. For example, farmers use root infusion fertilization behavior. In this case, the researcher asks how many man-days are needed to fertilize the root infusion with a predetermined area (later converted to hectares). plus the cost of purchasing materials, then later will get additional costs. It is called additional costs because this partial analysis does not calculate the overall farming costs.
In terms of income, it is calculated how much the increase in income is from the previous income that did not use the treatment. So that this increase in income is divided by the increase in costs described above. If the value is greater than 1 then the treatment can be said to be profitable and worth continuing.
In this regard, I emphasize that the calculation of man-days in annual crops is usually done partially, not explaining the whole. However, if the analysis is a business feasibility analysis, then it needs to be done from the initial stage to the final stage, and even then it usually uses assumptions.
Don’t forget to ask for daily wages.
Daily wages (one day) are considered man-days. In calculating labor costs, of course, this component is needed by multiplying man-days by daily wages.
Why do you need to ask for daily wages? Because the daily wage differs depending on the location, inflation, and the minimum wage at the research site. So don’t directly look for it by converting from the regional minimum wage. A simple question to ask about this daily wage is, “Sir or ma’am, usually people work one day here; how much do they get paid?”
This daily wage is not only for agricultural labor; we can also ask about the daily wage of builders, plumbers, or gardeners. Usually, the amount is not much different.

A group of neighbors in Buffalo say they’re sick and tired of watching vandals ruin where they live. They add that the city and the company that should be caring for the property are neglecting the issue.
On a freezing cold night in Buffalo, some residents took matters into their own hands, doing everything they could think of, to protect a historical building in their neighborhood.
It all involves the vacant Episcopal Church Home on the city’s West Side, near the Peace Bridge. It used to be a beautiful nursing home that also helped people on Medicaid.
The future of the land has been in question for years as leaders continue to debate Peace Bridge and bridge plaza expansion plans.
Betsy Murphy lives right around the corner.
“It’s especially hard to drive down here at night and see everything all dark and it used to be well lit, it’s kind of creepy actually,” she said.
And the area has been deteriorating for about eight years. Vandals punish the facility regularly by throwing rocks at the building. Last April, there was a three-alarm fire at the church home that was set by vandals.
“Now, this element is being invited into this community,” said Kathy Mecca, who organizes meetings on West Side issues as a leader of the Columbus Park Association.
And just last week, the latest act of vandalism happened when someone or a group of people broke a chain-linked gate – allowing anyone to get inside.
After repeated calls to City Hall to put on new chains, residents took matters into their own hands by linking the gate together – hoping vandals will stay out.
“When they don’t respond to our reasonable requests ‘yes’ they are letting us down,” said Murphy.
Two On Your Side contacted Common council member David Rivera about problems with the home. It’s in his legislative district.
“I don’t know if City Hall and the police have failed the citizens, I think we can be more aggressive in terms of our code enforcements and I’ve asked the Inspections Department to do so,” he said.
We also spoke to the owners of the property, which is Episcopal Church Home and Associates. It has several properties across Western New York. The company says it’s aware of the vandalism and wants to make the property secure. But, there’s a big difference in how homes look at facilities that the company runs and profits off of and how the old church home is cared for. For example, snow still needs to be shoveled outside on the sidewalk.
The lack of care is the problem residents say they have.
However, deep down inside the residents are concerned that city officials and the owners of the property don’t care about it, because right now, the church home is in the process of being sold to the state for $4 million.
There’s interest by the Peace Bridge Authority to demolish the church home and expand its nearby plaza.
A judge is currently reviewing the fate of the chapel and church home.

D’Angelo has long toyed with our emotions, promising for years that we would get a follow-up to 2000’s Voodoo. Now the perfectionist is finally set to unveil his next album, Black Messiah, later this week (which will probably screw up everyone’s “Best of 2014” lists). Last night, he released the album’s first single, “Sugah Daddy,” which is funky and layered and smooth. It’s been too long, D’Angelo, but it sounds like the wait was worth it.

Courage is shown in Jem and Scout many times throughout the novel and here are some of them. Early in the novel, Scout shows courage she had on the first day of school. She becomes brave to tell Miss. Caroline about Walter Cunningham’s problem and his situation. Miss. Caroline scolds Scout for knowing how to read. Scout thinks the class needs leadership because most children at her age fear to speak to their teacher in such was. She was courageous to speak about Walter’s situation. Jem faced a courageous situation when he left his pants at the Radley house. He was more courageous to go get them rather than worrying about Atticus whipping him. Jem risked his life from getting Atticus mad, he could get shot but he still went and got his pants. The courage he had which saves him from bad decision. Courage was shown again when Jem, Scout, and Dill were playing around and Dill dared Jem to go touch the Radley place. So Jem runs very fast and touch the side of Radley place back. Even though that Jem knew he would get in trouble or something would happen he still was courageous to go the Radley place which no was courageous enough to do. Jem and Scout have show courage many other times.
“Your father’s no better than the niggers and the trash he works for!” said Mrs. Dubose. When she mouthed Atticus like that, Jem got mad and decided that...
... middle of paper ...
... people of Maycomb to hear the truth about Tom. “That boy may go to the chair, but he’s not going till the truth is told.” Atticus later show bravery when he went to the jailhouse to protect Tom from a mob. Without thinking twice he rushed for Tom. He knew that mob would outnumber him and he would be easy beaten. Still, he put Tom’s well being after his own.
Within all the examples of courage there is not a situation there is not where character weren’t courageous during that time. Jem, Scout, Mrs. Dubose and Atticus understood the risks they faced but continued with their actions. Scout still faced scolding from Mrs. Caroline. Jem eventually told his father what he had done to the Radley’s. Mrs. Dubose died from been free from Morphine. Atticus finally wins in his mind. They might lost or won but they do not regret their courage they showed, so good could happen.

Tulip has confirmed that its site in Bodmin will remain open, although a total of 124 jobs have been lost as part of the recovery plan.
In October, Tulip began a consultation on closing its ‘unsustainable’ Bodmin site, which it said would put the 270 jobs there at risk.
“While it remains a well-invested site with industry-leading capabilities, it is unsustainable to maintain operations under the existing business model,” Tulip said, stressing that closure was not a foregone conclusion and that it was seeking to galvanise employees, customers and suppliers to ‘agree a viable plan for the sustainable future of the site’.
Today, Tulip announced that a recovery plan for the Cornish manufacturing site now been agreed, securing its future.
Throughout the consultation, the site has seen a reduction in headcount by 75, either through redundancy or resignation. Today, Tulip announced an additional 49 redundancies, bringing the total headcount remaining at the site to 146, compared with the 270 at the start of the process.
“The agreement follows extensive discussions with site management, employee representatives and customers, and will involve several operational adjustments,” the pork processor said in a statement.
“Changes to shift patterns and working arrangements will unfortunately result in an additional 49 redundancies. Individual discussions will be taking place with those impacted.
“It is always disappointing to have to lose people from our business, but we are satisfied that the improvements which have already been implemented at the site as a result of significant efforts of all parties, together with the additional changes which will now be actioned, will ensure a sustainable future for the site.
“Our ambition is to now deliver on the commitments which have been set out in our agreed recovery plan, continue with the process of continuous improvement for our day to day operations, and actively explore new growth opportunities.”

It has become quite a trend for teachers at Chardon High School to bring in their dogs to school, showing the dogs their day to day lives. There has been a total of four dogs roaming Chardon’s halls so far this year. This is not the first time Chardon has been introduced to animals coming to school. Giggles the miniature therapy horse was a big hit for kids. The name conveniently was the purpose, to spread joy, cheer kids up, and share laughs. Giggles did start to become a problem for the janitors, so her stay was short but sweet.
Dogs coming to school all started with Mr. Bartley when he brought in Ellie as a puppy two years ago. Ellie is a Rottweiler who will be two this July. Ellie has been well trained by Mr. Bartley, training is still a process. Bartley is considering getting Ellie officially certified to be a service dog, and feels that she would pass easily.
Mrs. Hetrick a guidance counselor will often bring in Marla a Labrador Retriever. Marla is seven years old and has had lots of training. Marla was raised with a family, a part of Canine Companions for Independence. CCI is a program working towards training service dogs for the disabled. Marla did not end up making it as a service dog. One of the CCI rules is that you can only have two dogs in training at a time. This leads to Mrs. Hetrick adopting Marla. “Even though she’s seven Marla loves to run and play and often acts like a puppy. She loves coming to school and all I have to do is say the word school and she jumps in the car,” said Hetrick.
Class pets are a simple way to bring a little more enjoyment to a student’s day. Walk into any high school, you will often be greeted with a feeling of stress. Getting the chance to pet and play with a friendly pooch would brighten anyone’s day.

text: We started out a bunch of people who worked in the same office. We nodded at each other, chatted idly over coffee about last night's TV movie, the weather, and did anyone really think that blonde in accounting was a former porno star? (She wasn't, but hot damn, she could have been. I'd have popped for a copy of the flick in a heartbeat.) We sent each other funny birthday cards signed by everybody, forgave each other for dumb drunken jokes at the annual Christmas party. Then the bastards up above started downsizing the company, and used an ax to do it. We seemed to morph into a band of guerrilla fighters, a tightly knit group willing to go down together, fighting to the death with honor rather than let "The Man" rape our tiny nation. (Uh...we started drinking a little too much, too.) There were six of us. There used to be eight, but one got a pink slip one day, went into shock, and ended up back working for his father in some shit small town. Another was sexually harassed by her boss, and got a lawyer and a better job rapidly. So the six of us clung together waiting for the ax to fall, and making a lot of noise about what we'd do if it did. Curl up and die was the general consensus. I think it was Twig who got the idea for renting the beach house. She's got maybe 50 more IQ points than she has pounds on her skinny little body. She's into alternative everything, vegetarianism, and is really very stable for a flake. She thought we should all take a vacation and "find our centers." My name is Jack, and the last time I felt like my life had a center was when my dad and I built racecars in the garage. Adulthood sucks. Carney was getting over a bad relationship. Nick was getting over a cracked rib he got when he suggested Carney's asshole boyfriend take a hike WITHOUT her stereo. "Little Stacy," never just "Stacy," was a tiny, fragile looking woman who never said much, but once kicked the living shit out of a drunk in a bar once that touched Twig's breast and scared her. Still waters run dangerous. Cleve was our "token everything" as he put it. Son of a Jewish mother, a black and Hispanic father, and gay. (We all spend December at his parents' house. Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanza. Wow. The food....) We honestly didn't plan on having anything happen on the beach. (We keep saying that to ourselves, and wondering if we sounded convincing.) We spent the day drinking sangria and talking, and when it was night, we all went down to the beach to...look at the waves and stars, I guess. We spread out a bunch of blankets into one big soft spot, sat down and were quiet for a while. Somebody had some music. And "Little Stacy" stood up and took off all of her clothes. We stared at her in collective silence for a few minutes as she swayed to the music, eyes closed, hands gliding over her body. "Uh," Nick said, then looked down at the bulge in his shorts. "Uh," I repeated. I also looked down at my own bulge. Cleve looked into Nick's lap, then into mine, then into his own. "Contagious," he said mildly. So was the urge to be naked. Twig and Carney went to their feet tossing clothes off, and soon were naked and dancing. Nick stood up painfully, and began to take off his clothes. Cleve and I looked at each other, shrugged...and stripped. All six of us were naked, moving to the music and openly ogling each other. I don't think even then we had any other intentions than blatant exhibitionism. That situation lasted for...oh, I 'd say maybe another two minutes. Then "Little Stacy" went to her little knees and put her little mouth around the end of Nick's big cock and sucked lustily. Nick stared down in disbelief, then turned around and stared at his ass...and Cleve's tongue, which was penetrating it. He looked at me. I opened my mouth to say something, but I never got the chance. I went over backwards suddenly. Carney and Twig lowered me to the blanket gently, then mounted me. Carney ground her tight snatch down on my hardon, and Twig lowered her hot, wet cunt to my mouth. I forgot about Nick for a while as I sucked and fucked hungry pussy. Carney and Twig leaned forward over me and sucked each other's tongues. I couldn't see, but I knew, and it turned me on more than anything in my life. I was being ridden by two ladies who were also hot for each other. I had to tighten my ass and make fists to keep from shooting Carney full of cum too soon. Twig's clit was so big and hard it was like sucking a tiny cock. She poured her juices into my mouth when she started to cum. I sucked her as hard as I could, and she howled and thrashed on my face, rubbing her creamy cunt all over me. She finally fell over sideways, and Carney leaped forward to lick my mouth and face, making small delighted noises. I wrapped an arm around her waist, and lurched up and over, putting her on her back. I held her wrists down and gave her one extended, solid fuck. She wrapped her legs around me and humped up to meet me like some kind of wild animal. She shoved her hips up hard and went rigid suddenly, her mouth open in a silent howl, her eyes nearly rolling back in her head. Her cunt clamped down on my cock like a vise as she came. I went nuts, fucking her with savagely hard strokes until lights went off behind my eyes. It felt like my balls had imploded and all my internal organs shot out my cock. It was the most intense orgasm I'd ever had, and for a few seconds I thought I was going to black out. I heard the roar of the ocean from outside and inside my head...and a while later I was on my back staring up at the stars. I looked left and saw Twig and Carney holding each other and kissing gently. I looked right and my eyes got big. Nick and Little Stacy were doing a fast and furious 69. She was taking his cock deep in her throat, and he had his face buried in her pussy. It took me a second to realize that Cleve was fucking the hell out of Nick's ass as he knelt behind them. Wow, I thought. I had the perfect angle to see. Cleve had a long, thick cock and huge balls. He was pulling it all the way out to its swollen head before slamming it home again. Nick raised his head and licked Little Stacy's cum from his lips. "Always wondered how a cock up the ass felt," he said. "Cleve was nice enough to help me find out." I nodded thoughtfully. "Cleve's always been nice about things like that," I said. Cleve managed to grin, then got lost again in the sensations of deflowering Nick's ass. The small and delicate Stacy came like a dozen sailors on shore leave. She slid Nick's cock out of her mouth, turned her head and let loose a string of rather colorful obscenities. "Mother-fuckin' son-of-a-BITCH!!" she screamed. "Do me, do me, do me!! Suck my snatch!!" Nice was so stunned he shot his wad all over her face. Some buried part of his brain realized he was spurting cum over that pretty little face, and he soared up to an intensity that nearly shattered him. Cleve felt that huge cum through Nick's ass and came himself. He slammed his cock home, and held it, pumping out about a quart of cum, it seemed, a lot of which overflowed onto Stacy's face. Both men just went over sideways and laid still. Carney and Twig leaped as one to lick Stacy's face clean of all that cum. I raised my head a little to watch. Damn, I loved to see women doing women. "You do?" Twig said with a wicked grin. I blinked. "Did I say that out loud?" She grinned and nodded, then went mouth first into Stacy's quivering cunt. Carney went mouth first into Twig's hot snatch, then Stacy completed the triangle by gobbling hungrily at Carney. Cleve managed to get to his feet on the third try, scooped up a bottle of wine and admired the sucking triangle of ladies. "And me without a camera," he said. He dropped down next to me, took a long swallow from the bottle and passed it to me. I also took a long drink, then gestured at the ladies with the bottle. "Does that turn you on?" I asked, genuinely curious. Cleve smiled. "I appreciate the beauty of it. And watching genuine, wanton lust is arousing. It doesn't effect me the way it does you. I've never had sex with a woman." Three diabolical female faces suddenly snapped towards Cleve. Oh, shit, I thought and rolled out of the way just in time. The ladies just TOOK him. Carney and Stacy put their mouths on his cock and began to lick, suck and nibble him together. I got a brief look at the wide-eyed open-mouthed expression on his face before Twig lowered her cunt to his mouth. Cleve's tongue slid out for a tentative lick, then another...then another. Then it was Twig's turn to be wide-eyed and open-mouthed as Cleve sucked the hell out of the first clit ever to be in his mouth. She grunted, and ground her snatch down on his mouth, riding his face hard. He slide a hand up her leg, got his index finger all slippery with her juice...and penetrated her asshole as he sucked her. The combination of a finger-fucked asshole and a sucked clit took Twig to places undiscovered. She either had multiple orgasms, or a cum that should have been in a book of records somewhere. It just kept on...cumming. Carney and Stacy decided to do it all to Cleve as he sucked Twig to the edge of insanity. Sucking, fucking, eating his ass, licking his balls, everything over and over, by one of them, then both of them, then the other. Carney was riding his cock, grinding her cunt down hard when he finally let go and pumped cum. She came with him, her movements making the most incredible squishing sound as he unloaded another quart of his jism. They made a pile of semi-conscious humans after that, and I swear at least two of them were snoring. Nick managed to crawl over next to me and make whimpering noises that I took to mean "wine...now...please." I held the bottle to his mouth and he sucked. My engorged cock twitched as I watched his mouth work on the bottle. He licked his lips, smiled, then looked at my cock. "Hey," he said. "Want an amateur blowjob?" I should have just said a simple "yes," because I never got the longer response out. His mouth came down on my cock, and it was incredible. I pulled at his hips until he mounted my face and fed me his cock. 69...with another guy. Oh. My. Goodness. I sucked him like crazy, getting more and more out-of-control with the wicked pleasure I felt. His mouth and hands worked my cock and balls, I did the same to him...and we came together, driving our cockheads deep into each other and shooting cum. We swallowed. We passed out.

We know about the benefits of dry brushing our bodies, but what about dry brushing our teeth?
Yes, we literally mean brushing your teeth without toothpaste or water. Okay okay, just bear with us here.
Research has shown it to be an effective way of removing plaque, and it's a technique commonly recommended by dentists.
But if, like us, you're only just hearing of dry brushing our teeth, we spoke to one of the UK's leading dentists Dr Richard Marques for the lowdown on brushing our teeth sans toothpaste...
What is dry brushing?
Dry brushing is using a toothbrush without water or toothpaste to mechanically remove plaque, stains and food debris.
Should I be dry brushing?
Dry brushing can actually remove more plaque in some situations by allowing the toothbrush bristles to take full effect in areas that it has built up. However, I would always recommend using a fluoride mouthwash afterwards if you do use this method. Another advantage to dry brushing is that you can do it anywhere! No need to find a sink and water.
Dry brushing can also help you brush for longer without the indication that you’ve completed the process by your toothpaste ‘running out’, so you will naturally scrub away more surface plaque.
How should I incorporate dry brushing into my dental hygiene routine?
If you do choose to dry brush, I would recommend doing so in the evening and using mouthwash afterwards, then traditional ‘wet’ brushing in the morning with toothpaste and water, particularly as toothpastes containing fluoride can help strengthen tooth enamel and reduce tooth decay.
Whether you're dry- or wet-brushing, always remember the dental care dos and don'ts...
Do: brush twice a day.
Do: brush for 2-3 full minutes.
Do: clean your toothbrush well with water after brushing and allow to air dry to remove bacteria.
Don’t: share your toothbrush with others (especially right now!)
Don’t: let your toothbrush bristles wear out. Change the brush or head every 3-6 months.
Don’t: use an abrasive powder or brush too hard as this can wear away the enamel and cause sensitivity to the gum.

Quick Hit – This monster movie is perfectly crafted with humor and scares amid tensions of reality.
Since the beginning of monster movies (many of which we chronicled last Halloween – check it out if you have time), humans have been doing things to the environment that cause creatures to rise up and hurt us. The Host, which comes to us out of the Korean peninsula, is no different – the movie starts blatantly with an American telling a Korean man to dump hundreds of bottles of formedhyde down the drain that leads to a river. Multiple years later, we meet Park Gang-Doo, our extremely unlikely hero, as well as our monster, an amphibious monster with gaping maw that just wants to eat everyone in sight.
Completely shrugging off some monster movie clichés, director Joon-ho Bong doesn’t hesitate to show us his monster. His monster is a wonderful creation, with aspects to his nature that seem borrowed from real creatures, like tadpoles, as well as from other monster movies, like the Xenomorphs from the Alien franchise. It also interacts well with his environment, while still managing to hide in the shadows or out of the main focus of the screen at times. It’s a wonderful piece of monster movie filmmaking.
We also have our team of unlikely heroes – the Parks, who are on a mission to rescue their daughter from the monster that takes her in a terrifically shot sequence in the first twenty minutes of the movie. We have the aforementioned Gang-Doo, who seemingly falls asleep everywhere, and just tries to be the best father that he can be. We have his father, and his brother and sister, and each of them have their own demons to face. But their bickering leads some comedy to the movie which balances well with the tones of the rest of the film.
I think what The Host does well is another thing that is consistently present in monster films is apprehension or fear about things that humanity is currently doing. First, there’s the pollution aspect. Next, the film continually comes back to newscasters that are completely clueless, so there is some obvious media tension here. And finally, something you consistently see in foreign films, there is a fear of American’s and their decisions. While so many people in our politically charged climate are setting out their feelings on social media, films like these are a format to portray fear of American military or Environmental practices.
All in all, The Host is one of those monster movies that is pretty fun from start to finish. I would recommend that you take it and watch it this Halloween. I’m giving it an “A”.

Ivory and Bone: Archaic Materials
8 Minute Read
Ivory and bone have been used by humans for sculptures and jewelry purposes from very early times. The Upper Paleolithic age already boasted curious etchings of reindeer, scratched onto mammoth tusks. The figures of the Vogelherd Caves near Ulm are also well-known. From ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia came talismans, sculptures, and implements from the 3rd century BC.

The Greeks were familiar with ivory long before they were ever confronted with an elephant. Ivory carving is also mentioned early in Roman history. Christian art brought the working of this material to perfection. Ivory carving received a significant impetus in the 14th and 15th centuries. The works in this material were now increasingly used for profane purposes, becoming a luxury item for the high society of the age. The great flowering of ivory carving took place in the 17th century. This art was a fashion statement. A number of sovereigns even tried their own hands at working the material and large collections were built up. Count Franz zu Erbach (1734-1823) was responsible for the settlement of a large number of ivory carvers in the Odenwald town of Erbach, near Heidelberg. The town remains the German center of this art form to this day. The German Ivory Museum is also located here. In neighboring Michelstadt the wood and ivory vocational school trains the next generations of craftsment in those materials.
Ivory was used for a broad range of utilitarian and ornamental purposes in the 19th and 20th centuries. These included the tops of walking sticks, billiard balls and piano keys. As a consequence, the principal supplier, the elephant, was driven to the edge of extinction. As a result, in 1989 trading in ivory was prohibited worldwide. Only existing stocks were permitted to be utilized. The most valuable ivory, however, was not obtained from elephants, but the narwhal, and was formerly literally worth its weight in gold. Equally precious is walrus ivory which led to the decimation of walrus populations. Today, mammoth ivory is used as a replacement for elephant tusks. These are the tusks of the animal that became extinct during the last Ice Age. The material was conserved in the Siberian permafrost for over 10,000 years. Erosion leads to tusks frequently making an appearance on the surface. Each tusk that appears is examined for mammoth research purposes and then released to be traded.

Bone has been worked by man since the very earliest times, due to the fact that it was a natural by-product of hunting. In addition, it is also very good to work with and highly stable. To begin with, it was fashioned into utility items such as needles, spear tips, fishing hooks, buttons and combs, which were made from bone as the finer structure was easier to work than wood. Large bones, such as the ribs of whales, were used by some early civilizations in the construction of tent shelters. Over the course of time these utility objects became increasingly ornate and artistic in character. Bone carvings became more detailed. In spiritually-oriented cultures charms and figures were created, often serving shaman cults. In New Zealand the Maoris developed these bone carvings into an art form in its own right. The natives considered each bone item of jewelry to have a high level of spiritual energy. Such an object served to intertwine the soul and energy of the donor animal with the soul and energy of the wearer. Today, modern jewelry designers combine precious materials such as gold, silver and gemstones - conveying an aura of classicism - with bone - representing the pre-classical, the archaic. This enables a bridge to be constructed between the prehistory of jewelry with all of its myths, cults and rituals; and the modern age.
Ivory in the workshop
Ivory consists 56-59% of calcium phosphate and a small quantity of lime, which is bound with an organic substance similar to gristle. Water is contained within this. During the drying process, ivory loses approximately 20% of its weight. The hardness of an elephant's tusks registers approximately 2.75-3.50 on the Mohs scale.
The working process of ivory is performed with chip removal. The grain must be noted at all times in this procedure. It is also vital that the material is not overheated. Working against the grain leads to the surface being torn. Splintering occurs, which can only be rectified with the removal of relatively thick layers of ivory. The poor thermal conductivity of ivory means that special care should be taken when using rotating tools and machines (overheating). The material turns yellow, smells burned and becomes stained. Depending on the size of the object, it is cut using a circular saw, band saw or hand saw. The saw blade is straight-set, with the basic shape formed using a paring chisel. In this, it should be noted that when "carving" ivory it is only possible to remove small chips compared to the same procedure with most types of wood. The preparatory work is performed using coarse shapers, rasps and files. Finer shaping work is executed using drills flushed with water, similar to those used by a dentist. The surface is smoothed by rubbing.
The dense structure and relatively low hardness of ivory means that it is especially suitable for turning. Submersion in boiling water (approximately 20 minutes) makes the material pliable. Forming of the material must be performed extremely carefully, with the ivory in constant contact with the hot water. The sanding of ivory is performed using a paste of pumice and water. Depending on the type and size of the surface area, tools used include linen cloths, nylon toothbrushes, modeling tools covered with a strip of linen, felt or a buffing wheel that has not previously been used for polishing metal. Best results are achieved working alternately in a horizontal and vertical direction. Good polishing results are achieved with Vienna lime and precipitate chalk, mixed into a paste with spirit.
Ivory can be cleaned using mild soap suds or warm water with a few drops of washing liquid added. Stronger grease removing materials such as liquid ammonia or a mixture of equal parts liquid ammonia and spirit are only of use for older, heavily-soiled objects. Ivory that has yellowed heavily can be lightened by being placed in a bath of water containing a little hydrogen peroxide for three to four days.
Numerous techniques are used for the assembly of ivory with metal. The metal can be pressed where the design of the item permits. With rivets, it should be noted that the rivets should connect with a metal casing on both sides where possible. The rivet head can only be safely hammered directly into the ivory where a very soft alloy is used, otherwise splitting may occur. In contrast, the pinning with small pins turned from horn represents no problems, as these are elastic enough to compensate tension. When creating a screw connection, care should be taken to ensure that the threads are not too sharp and steep. The least risk is involved in the adhesion of ivory to metal. The section to be adhered should be free of grease and slightly roughened. Only two-component adhesives are suitable for creating a durable bond, with these having largely displaced traditional ivory putty. Mammoth ivory is one of the hardest materials in this range (Mohs hardness 3-5). Consequently, here it is possible to work very precisely, even with very small dimensions, without the material breaking. The long period of storage in the ice has left its mark on the tusks. The organic material has often reacted to the metallic oxides in the soil. This leads to discoloration, ranging from brown-red to green and indigo blue. These tones can be incorporated well into the design of sculptures and jewelry items. Cracks can also be closed attractively with the insertion of colored gemstones such as lapis lazuli, malachite or turquoise. The varied grains and degree of cracking mean that each object has its own individual structure and subsequently unique character.

Bone in the workshop
Leg bones are best suited for working. These are tubular bones originally filled with bone marrow. There are six different forms of leg bone, in addition to the metatarsal and lower leg bones, upper arm and upper leg bones. The tubular bones are all hollow. This means that only one side of the bone is used, although this may be over one centimeter thick. During the working process, the difference to mammoth and elephant ivory becomes apparent with the brittle nature of the material. Bone is also considerably less elastic. Despite this, the same tools are used as those for mammoth ivory. The difference is not always immediately apparent with finished articles. It is only when the precise structure is inspected that the difference in the materials becomes evident. Elephant ivory can be distinguished from mammoth ivory and other materials by two characteristics. These are the horizontal and the vertical structures. Horizontally, a net form is created by two overlapping lines. The angle between these lines is more acute for mammoth ivory (more comparable with Gothic) than with elephant ivory (more comparable with Roman). Regarding the vertical structure, there is a so-called flame structure of light and dark lines, irregularly thicker and thinner. Jewelry made from horn or leg bone is cleaned with almond oil, thus acquiring its original color once again.

A few weeks ago, I surprised Adam with college football tickets to our favorite team. (Don’t worry this post is just about the food and restaurants we ate at…not anything about the team/game)! We went down early and explored the campus and ate a few of the famed restaurants. We started out the day by stopping at our hotel in Birmingham and checking in and then we stopped in the Summit Area. This area is so nice and has awesome shops and restaurants. I can’t wait to go back! We ate lunch at Lime and split some tacos so we could eat some more a little later. I loved this place!! It’s a lot like Chipotle or Moe’s and had such a cool atmosphere. The food was really fresh and they had a bar of different salsas to choose from.
Then we headed to Tuscaloosa and had to stop at Dreamland BBQ and split a half rack of ribs. As soon as we sat down the waitress asked us what we wanted, and I said “well we’re not sure, we’ve never been here before.” She then said “well all we have are ribs or sausage and then different sides.” So we said, “ok we’ll have the ribs!” The sauce was tangy and had a more vinegar/mustard base than traditional tomato based bbq. I liked the sauce ok, but the flavor of the meat itself was wonderful! So delectable! And you’ve got to try the banana pudding! They have small portions or large ones and it was AMAZING!! This is a must try at least once if you’re in the area. And it’s definitely off the beaten path, so you have to want to go there.
Then we headed to the campus and explored for a long time. The game wasn’t until 9:15 pm so we had plenty of time to work off the tacos & ribs. Right before the game, we went and got bbq nachos at Big Bad Wolves. It’s just a bbq stand on the strip, but they were really delicious! The cheese sauce was homemade and not from a packet or powder, you could definitely tell and made them addictive.
We got in to our hotel VERY late, like 3 am, but we had such a great time! The next morning we slept in and got in a workout and then headed to eat at one of my favorite restaurants, Chuy’s in Birmingham. Yes, mexican two days in a row! They have homemade tortillas and some of the best guacamole I’ve had. We ate out on the patio and it had such a gorgeous view of the mountains.
After lunch, I had my first pinkberry experience and I am a huge fan now!! It was so good! We got the chocolate hazelnut with white chocolate chips and a waffle cookie. Such a great treat!

Honda announced plans for two new electric vehicles based on GM’s Ultium platform last spring, and now new details about them are starting to emerge.
According to The Detroit Bureau, both will be electric crossovers. Little is known about them, but Acura and Honda will each receive one.
That isn’t much to go on but, when the deal was announced last year, the companies said the electric platform would be modified to “support Honda’s driving character.” The two automakers also revealed the models would have unique styling inside and out.
Also Read: GM And Honda Teaming Up For Two New EVs, Will Be Based On GM’s New Platform
While the crossovers will look different than their General Motors counterparts, the company’s hands will be clearly visible. In particular, Honda and GM have previously said the vehicles will have OnStar and “GM’s hands-free advanced driver-assist technology.” The latter is likely a reference to the Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system.
Both models will be built at GM factories and sold in the United States and Canada, and they are slated to arrive in time for the 2024 model year.
In other news, the publication is reporting that Honda has confirmed their “top-selling models” will receive hybrid variants. There’s no word on specifics, but Honda already offers a handful of hybrids including the Accord, CR-V and Insight. We can expect more in the future and likely candidates include the Pilot and Passport.

Throughout the years, there has been an incredible amount of speculation as to what ingredients are being put into the food we consume. The same food manufactured by major food corporations that can only be approved by the FDA. There are many techniques that these food corporations can use in order to gain consumer loyalty, but the main focus is the way their advertising works. Along with these advertisements, comes a target market as well. The food industry is constantly in speculation because there are always new foods that corporations want approved to sell. Some of these businesses are part of the fast food industry and others are international food companies that sell their products around the world. As adults and parents, we need to …show more content…
You then asked your parent to log on to the internet with you and enter the code to see if you would win the grand prize. This prize always consisted of something outrageous like a trip to Orlando, Florida to attend an exotic amusement park. This was a ploy by the company to get kids to want their parents to get them the soup from the grocery store for a chance to win. Therefore, sales for the company would rise.
“Research shows that this brand loyalty begins in children as young as two years old.” (mediaawareness) The reason this can be dangerous is because of the types of food our children eat. Foods like packaged cookies, salty soups, candy, and soda. The list runs much longer than this, but the reality is that these foods have things like added sugar, added salt, and trans fats that make the food taste “better”. Another really important fact to point out is that childhood obesity can be directly related to over consumption of fast foods. The average fast food cheeseburger contains about 500 calories. If you add an order of french fries then that is another 500 calories. Most active 5 year old children for example, should obtain about 1600 calories per day. So one meal from a fast food restaurant would equate to over half of the calories they should. (NCBI) Obesity can cause other health problems to occur.

When it comes to the topic of obesity, most experts and critics will readily agree that it can lead to more severe health issues. Where the agreement usually ends, however, is on how much obesity really contributes to illnesses, such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Whereas some are convinced that obesity is a major cause in such diseases, others maintain that it is only one factor, of many, that lead to other diseases.
Obesity occurs over time when you eat more calories than you use. The balance between your genetic makeup, overeating, eating high-fat foods, and not being physically active. Being obese increases your risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, and some cancers. If you are obese, losing even 5 to 10 percent of your weight can delay or prevent some of these diseases. For example, that means losing 10 to 20 pounds if you weigh 200 pounds. All of this can come from eating unhealthy foods.
Obesity is a disease which is associated with enormous body fat that severely escalates the exposure to health issues (Google). Obesity-related conditions can potentially involve heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer, and other conditions that are avoidable (cdc).
Obesity can cause a plethora of health issues. When BMI rates rise so does the rate of disease and disorders. Obesity can lead to health ailments like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and various types of cancer. Obesity caused ailments are preventable. Around 300,000 deaths occur each year from obesity related issues. This makes in one of the top causes of preventable death in the United States. In 2010 estimated cost of obesity was 190.2 billion and accounted for nearly 21% of the annual
Food companies make millions just from advertising junk food to kids. Food companies advertise using very known cartoon characters to appeal to kids that contain high-sugar levels that can cause many different disorders that can affect them in a server way. Kids tend to beg their parents for junk food and other types of foods just for seeing that they would receive a toy. In the article “10 Things the Food industry Doesn’t Want You to Know” states “On TV alone, the average child sees about 5,500 food commercials a year.” With these advertisements, kids can get the idea of going to eat in places that have unhealthy food. Advertisement like these can cause children to view fast food as something they can be constantly eating without having any problems.
Obesity is a public health and policy problem. It brings with its numerous health effects. Overweight and obesity are the result of caloric imbalance. Obesity runs in families tend to have similar eating and exercise habits. Some evidence shows that if you are overweight, you are more likely to develop health problems. For example, diabetes, cancer and stroke.
Being obese in adults has consequences for health in both the short term and long term. Obesity is usually asscociated with a large range of diseases, especially diabetes (type 2), hypertension, cancer, heart disease and stroke. Futher more, obesity is also connected with poorer psychological and emotional
It is easy to tell somebody to just stop eating that type of food, but in reality it is hard to stop because we can't get away from the constant advertising. Us teens and the children growing up now, are seeing three to five advertisements for fast food everyday. Children are always around these advertisements. They learn from an early age that these products are good. We are at the era where everyone has internet and social media, so we will see even more that what we see on T.V. I feel bad for the children that are growing up with these influences. We are bombarded by unhealthy commercials everyday. Consumer affairs came out with an article about just this. It gave great insight to the commercials that we see, it said “Of all food ads in the study that target children or teens, 34 percent are for candy and snacks, 28 percent are for cereal, and 10 percent are for fast foods. Four percent are for dairy products and 1% for fruit juices. Of the 8,854 ads reviewed in the study, there were none for fruits or vegetables targeting children or teens." I think this is horrible because those foods that we are not inspiring kids to eat, those food that we are not advertising on T.V, those food are the foods that are not addicting and harmful to us.
Some kids are picky eaters. They tend to only eat certain things, a certain amount, or nothing at all. At home, kids have limited food choices, so they tend to eat the same things and that causes them to not want to eat. That can cause serious health issues. Fast food advertisement can present food that is appling to that child. That is a chance for the child to eat something
here is many health issues with being obese even if a person does not get the none disease such as diabetes, CHD, hypertension, cancer. The weight that can affect them like shortness of breath, hard to do exercise or neglect them, because in doing them also has arthritic pain in joints from obesity.
There are currently two types of food systems that exist in our food shed. TINA, which comes from Maggie Thatcher, who said, “There Is No Alternative” to global economy—T-I-N-A” (Shuman, 2002). And LOIS, which stands for “Local Ownership and Import Substitution” (Shuman, 2002). TINA is the system that has been used for the pasted 60 to 70 years, and throughout that time the way we produced are food has become both productive and efficient; but it has also become destructive and unhealthy. In A TINA-based food economy, food is either mass produced through the process of industrial farming or it is imported from other countries. These lead to adverse effects on the food, the environment and the economy. However, in a LOIS-based food economy, food is “produced locally through locally owned businesses, then the more you can minimize your vulnerability to nasty surprises, the more you can maximize your economic multiplier, and the more you can maximize tax proceeds to the public sector and the many good things that come from it.” (Shuman, 2002). So in simpler terms the more you produce locally, the better local economies will be and if local economies have a large income then the nations income will increase by way of tax. Along with being good for our economy, LOIS has little to no adverse effect on our environment or health. Compared to TINA, LOIS looks like paradise, but just like every dream world, the LOIS system is currently an impossible system to live by.
Just think about it, how many commercials do you see for some sort of fast food restaurant when you watch television? How many billboards do you drive by for a “2 for 2” at McDonald’s “off exit- insert number here-” or something of that nature… Considering that most children cannot drive, they read those billboards; they see the bright colors and the photo shopped food that never looks the same way when you open the wrapper. Also, children generally have, what could be called, an addiction to television; their faces are essentially glued to it. The fast food industry spent $4.2 billion on advertising in 2010 alone. (Fast Food FACTS in Brief) Children see about three to five advertisements for unhealthy food every day. Only about a fourth of the fast food commercials seen by young children are for ‘healthier’ options. (Fast Food 360 Briefs)
The Food Industry in the U.S is not the same as it was back in the 1900’s and before where most of our food would mostly still be organic and wouldn’t use as much antibiotics, today a lot of our livestock and poultry is enhanced and injected with antibiotics that help increase livestock in a rapid increasing rate to avoid a shortage in food. Recent studies have been made that show that the use of antibiotics in live stock, as in farm animals is tied to creating the emergence of many antibiotic resistant infections that sicken many Americans in quantity each year (CDC). The article coming from the Los Angeles times talks about the state of California in restricting the use of antibiotics on farm animals thanks to governor jerry Brown and also in making it the first state in the nation to do so and becoming effective on the 1st of January, 2018 (Patrick McGreevy, LA Times, 2015). As this issue is that the overuse of antibiotics in farm animals threatens public health doesn’t just happen in California but in the whole nation itself and even worldwide.

This chart shows corporate insolvencies from Q1 2008 to Q4 2020.
The red line shows National insolvencies and the black line businesses in distress as an index of 100 starting Q1 2008.
In the Global Financial crisis in 2008 Corporate insolvencies almost doubled then quickly reduced until Q4 2009, glided down until Q4 2014, tracked sideways until Q4 2017 then rose slightly until Q2 2019 and since then there has been a sharp fall.
The black line is our proprietary 'business in distress index' which shows companies that are balance sheet insolvent, illiquid and had a reduction in shareholder funds in their last set of filed accounts.
The yellow highlighting shows the gap between companies in distress and companies going bust suggesting a pent-up demand for insolvencies.
... but in the deepest recession for 300 years with unprecedented Government business support corporate insolvencies have reduced sharply.
