History & Background
Ukraine is a state in eastern Europe situated between Russia and Poland and bordering the Black Sea. It occupies a territory of 231,990 square miles (600,852 square kilometers) with a population of over 51 million people. The most representative groups of the population are Ukrainians, Russians, Jews, Belarusans, Moldavians, and Poles. Ukraine was a constituent republic of the USSR until it became independent in 1991. Its capital is Kiev with a population of 2.6 million people.
Ukrainian culture is a blend of eastern Slavic patterns and unique features developed during its long history. They speak a language in many ways similar to Russian and Belarusian and use the Cyrillic alphabet. From the ninth to the twelfth centuries most of the Ukrainian territory was part of Kiev Russia. The first schools of "book knowledge," which were intended for children of noble families, appeared under the Grand Prince Vladimir (980-1015). During the rule of Yaroslav the Wise (1019-1054), literacy spread among different social groups. Poucheniya (precepts), which appeared in the eleventh to twelfth centuries, were the first samples of truly pedagogical works. The most famous precepts were created by Vladimir Monomakh (1053-1125), the Grand Prince of Kiev, who addressed them to his own children. In 1086 the first school for female students opened in Kiev. The Kiev-Pechersk monastery was the center of Old Russian chronicle writing.
The Mongol invasion (thirteenth to fifteenth centuries) had a destructive influence on the eastern Slavic cultural centers such as Kiev and Chernigov. In the fourteenth century the southwestern lands were occupied by Lithuanian feudals. National and religious oppression became especially strong in the sixteenth century after the formation of the Polish-Lithuanian state, Rzecz Pospolita. Jesuit collegiums and schools opened their doors for Catholics and Uniates, whereas the educational opportunities for the adherents of the Eastern Orthodox church were meager. The traditions of Ukrainian culture were continued by schools attached to monasteries in Kiev, Chernigov, Putivl, and other places. In 1572 the first Russian printer, Ivan Fyodorov, arrived in Lvov; two years later a printing house, established with his assistance, published the first Bukvar (ABC-Book). By 1678 Ukraine had over 20 printing houses, which published educational literature and other books.
Brotherhood schools, which emerged in Lvov (1585), Kiev (1615), Lutsk (1617), and other cities played an important part in the preservation of the Slavic cultural identity. They were not merely educational institutions, but cultural centers, which united progressive writers, poets, printers, and teachers. From the late sixteenth to the early seventeenth centuries, Ukraine had about 30 brotherhood schools. They published textbooks and organized teaching in the native language. The School Rules (Poryadok Shkol'ny) issued by the Lvov school are still considered to be an outstanding monument of educational thought. The 1648-1654 war, led by Bogdan Khmelnitsky, resulted in the reunification of Ukraine with Russia. Numerous parish schools were opened to promote literacy.
The late 1700s saw the emergence of shipbuilding, metallurgical, and other professional schools. Because of the division of Poland, which started in 1772, western Ukrainian lands were annexed by Austria. The educational reform brought about the formation of state primary ("trivial") and incomplete secondary ("main") schools with instruction predominantly in German. In parish schools the teaching was done in Polish and German; the Ukrainian language was largely neglected and regarded merely as a dialect of Polish. The progressive young people in Lvov formed a society, Russkaya troitsa, (Russian Trinity), which published an almanac promoting democratic ideas.
The Russian 1803-1804 educational reform brought about the formation of gymnasiums, as well as privileged educational institutions, lyceums, and Institutes for Noble Young Ladies. The latter emerged in Kharkov (1805), Poltava (1817), Odessa, and Kiev. Initial professional education was provided by specialized institutions: the Kiev Railway School, the Kherson School of Commercial Navigation, and the Yekaterinislav School of Gardening, as well as art and trade schools. Universities opened in Kharkov in 1805 and in Kiev in 1834. Two year teacher training courses affiliated with the universities followed suit.
The new educational institutions reflected European patterns, but at the same time incorporated distinctive features based on the long-standing traditions of Slavic culture. After the Decembrist uprising in St. Petersburg (1825), which shattered the foundations of Russian czarism, great educational work was done in Kiev by General M. F. Orlov. He headed a group called "Union of Welfare," used his own money to organize schools of mutual education, and developed new curricula and methodological materials.
The secret Cyril-Methodius Society, founded in the 1840s at Kiev University and headed by N. I. Kostomarov, aimed at spreading education among different social groups. The members of the society opened schools for peasant children and worked hard to create and publish textbooks for them. The society included a revolutionary democratic group led by the national poet Taras Shevchenko. The ideas of the French revolution of 1848 encouraged progressive educators to foster the teaching and use of the Ukrainian language in schools. In the 1850s primary schools in the Ukrainian territories had 67,000 students. The secondary education institutions were represented by 15 male gymnasiums, 2 lyceums, 3 cadet corps, and 5 female secondary schools. Instruction in most of the schools was carried out in Russian. The movement promoting education for common people and schools with Ukrainian as the language of instruction became especially strong in the 1850s. It initiated the opening of Sunday schools in Kiev and Kharkov, but in 1863 they were closed for political reasons. The same year the czarist government prohibited the publishing of books in the Ukrainian language and in 1876 the language's use in educational institutions. The educational reform of the 1860s stimulated the establishment of new institutions, the introduction of comparatively progressive methods of teaching, and the admission of children from different ranks of society to primary schools. From 1877 to 1898 the number of schools grew from 1,112 to 3,179. Higher courses for women wanting an education were opened in Kiev and Kharkov. According to the census of 1897, the literacy rate for ages 9 to 49 was 27.9 percent, (41.7 percent among men and 14 percent among women).
The 1905-1907 Russian Revolution encouraged the development of new progressive ideas. The organization Prosvita (Enlightenment), the All-Ukrainian Teachers Union, and the Kiev Society for Public Kindergartens began their activities; free libraries opened in different cities; and a higher teachers training institute for female students was founded in Kiev. Uchilishche, a new type of public secondary school with four years of instruction, quickly gained popularity; by 1916 300 existed in various parts of the country.
In western Ukraine, which was part of the Austro-Hungarian state, the educational opportunities for Ukrainians were scarce; the majority of the people were illiterate, and primary schools had only one grade. Most of the teaching was done in German, Polish, Hungarian, and Romanian; in 1911-1912, out of 134 general education schools only 11 had Ukrainian as the language of instruction. By 1914-1915 Ukraine (within its modern borders) had approximately 26,000 general education institutions, including 25,000 primary, 386 incomplete secondary, 577 complete secondary, and 88 specialized secondary schools for a total of 2,600,000 students.
After the Revolution of 1917, education developed rapidly. In July 1920 Narkompros (People's Commissariat of Education) of Ukraine published The Declaration on Social Education of Children, which initiated the introduction of a new educational system. Its basic unit was a seven year school that combined Communist education with productive labor. The new system rejected all of the pre-Revolutionary educational experience: textbooks were seen as a redundancy ("life is better than textbooks"); the family was regarded as a bourgeois survival, which had to be eliminated; and regular schools were almost totally phased out in favor of children's homes and communes. The idea of Communist discipline was epitomized by Anton Makarenko, the famous educator who managed to achieve great success in colonies for minors and juvenile delinquents.
In the 1920s the entire educational system had a pronounced vocational character. It envisages an extensive development of PTUs (professional technical schools). School clubs provided professional training and organized excursions, lectures, literary gatherings, and musical parties. Rabfaks (workers faculties) were attached to higher educational institutions specifically to train students from working class families. Beginning with the early 1920s, the society "Away with Illiteracy!" provided basic training for adults. By 1939 the literacy rate was claimed to be 88.2 percent. In 1924 there were 136 nursery schools and kindergartens attended by 6,000 children. The Research Institute of Pedagogy of the Ukrainian SSR, which was formed in 1926, started to advance educational theory and methodology. The reshaping of the educational system in the 1930s gave technicums (technical schools) the status of secondary specialized institutions; it also brought about the creation of new industrial, agricultural, economic, pedagogical, and medical higher educational establishments. Schooling for children aged 8 to 15 became compulsory. By 1932-1933 the number of people embraced by education had doubled as compared to 1928-1929 and reached 4.5 million.
At the same time about 80 percent of the population in Western Ukraine was illiterate; over 30 percent of children did not attend schools; and only 5 percent of students were getting education in the Ukrainian language. The reunification of Ukraine in 1939 resulted in the establishment of new schools, promotion of literacy for adults, and instruction in the native tongue. By 1940-1941 Ukraine had 6,900 preschools with 319,000 children; 30,800,000 general education schools with 6.6 million students and 250,000 teachers; 690 secondary specialized schools with 196,000 students; and 129 higher educational institutions with 124,400 students.
The advancement of education miraculously coexisted with the Stalinist political terror. Thousands of intellectuals became victims of mass repression. The indoctrination of Communist ideology at educational institutions reached its peak. Anyone who dared express an opinion different from the official point of view was subject to being imprisoned, executed, or sent to a concentration camp. During the Second World War, the Nazi troops completely destroyed over 8,000 schools; 10,000 more schools were partially ruined.
In spite of all the misfortunes, deaths, and cataclysms brought about by the war, the network was quickly restored. By 1945-1946 there were over 28,000 general education schools with 5 million people. The deStalinization of the Soviet Union under Nikita Khrushchev had a profound influence on the political and cultural life in Ukraine. The content of education changed significantly. The transference to universal, compulsory, eight year schooling was completed by 1960-1961. The activities of the prominent teacher and scholar Vassily Suhkomlinsky, who made special emphasis on civil and ethical aspects of education, aroused great public interest, as well as sharp criticism from the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences. Sukhomlinsky, a school director, considered the child's personality to have the highest value in the process of teaching and upbringing. He saw the main goal of education in the realization of the students' inborn qualities, spontaneous reactions, and impulses. He also paid special attention to society as the context of education and included ethical categories in pedagogy.
The social apathy of the 1980s, the lack of diversity, and the predominance of indoctrination programs resulted in the crisis of the educational system. The attempted educational reform of 1984 proved to be ineffective, but the significant changes attained after the initiation of perestroika (restructuring) and glasnost (openness) under the Soviet leader Mihkail Gorbachev continued after the declaration of Ukrainian independence in 1991.

Music is understood to be a great way to break through to dementia patients, but do you know why? A new study shows us how music helps those suffering with Alzheimer’s disease. Learn more.
Music has been known to affect those with dementia and Alzheimer’s, but why it has an effect on these patients has not always been clear – until now.
Music Helps Dementia Patients Recall Memories and Emotions
A recent study shows that dementia and Alzheimer’s patients can recall memories and emotions, and have enhanced mental performance after singing classic hits and show tunes from movies and musicals — a breakthrough in understanding how music affects those with dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Researchers determined the effect music has on dementia patients, by leading half of the participants through selected songs while the other half listened to the music being played. After the musical treatment, all participants took cognitive ability and life satisfaction tests. which showed how participants scored significantly better when being lead through songs, rather than only listening.
Here are five reasons why researchers believe that music boosts brain activity:
1. Music evokes emotions that bring memories.
Music can evoke emotion in even the most advanced of Alzheimer’s patients. Neurologist Oliver Sacks says that, “Music evokes emotion, and emotion can bring with it memory… it brings back the feeling of life when nothing else can.” By pairing music with every day activities, patients can develop a rhythm that helps them to the recall the memory of that activity, improving cognitive ability over time.
2. Musical aptitude and appreciation are two of the last remaining abilities in dementia patients.
Linda Maguire, lead author on the study wrote, “Musical aptitude and music appreciation are two of the last remaining abilities in patients with Alzheimer’s.” Because these two abilities remain long after other abilities have passed, music is an excellent way to reach beyond the disease and reach the person.
3. Music can bring emotional and physical closeness.
In the later stages of dementia, patients often lose the ability to share emotions with caregivers. Through music, as long as they are ambulatory, they can often dance. Dancing can lead to hugs, kisses and touching which brings security and memories.
4. Singing is engaging.
The singing sessions in the study engaged more than just the brain and the area related to singing. As singing activated the left side of the brain, listening to music sparked activity in the right and watching the class activated visual areas of the brain. With so much of the brain being stimulated, the patients were exercising more mind power than usual.
5. Music can shift mood, manage stress and stimulate positive interactions.
The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America has an entire web page dedicated to music therapy in Alzheimer’s patients. They say that, “When used appropriately, music can shift mood, manage stress-induced agitation, stimulate positive interactions, facilitate cognitive function and coordinate motor movements.” This is because music requires little to no mental processing, so singing music does not require the cognitive function that is not present in most dementia patients.
Which Musicals or Movies Work Best?
Getting a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s to engage with music and movies may depend on which genre they enjoy the most. But, the suggestions below can help you get started:
- The Sound of Music
- When You Wish Upon a Star (from Pinocchio)
- Somewhere Over the Rainbow (from The Wizard of Oz)
Dr. Jane Flinn, a researcher from George Mason University says that the study should encourage caregivers.
“The message is: do not give up on these men and women. You want to be performing things that engage them, and singing is cheap, effortless and engaging.”

City: Appeal of judge’s order on former Augusta jail, school on fast track
Augusta’s legal counsel says the Georgia Court of Appeals has agreed to expedite the city’s appeal to get out from under a court order that means spending millions to renovate two abandoned buildings
The city filed a motion asking the court to void Chief Superior Court Judge Carl C. Brown’s order Aug. 4. While the Court of Appeals denied the city’s request for an emergency ruling on the issue, it did agree to fast-track Augusta’s appeal, according to city General Counsel Wayne Brown.
The appeals court docketed Augusta’s appeal, but did not expedite it, so the city filed a motion for it be heard as an emergency, he said in an email to Augusta commissioners.
"Fortunately, the Court of Appeals, on its own initiative, issued an order directing that the appeal shall be expedited under the procedure of emergency motions,“ Brown said, ”setting forth the expedited schedule, allowing only 10 days for Augusta’s brief and only 20 days for opposing party’s brief.“
Expediting the appeal on its own, the appeals court no longer needed to take action on Augusta’s emergency motion so it rejected it, he said.
Judge Brown’s order will remain in effect until the court rules in favor of the appeal. The order mandated that the city pay for and complete renovation of the former Joint Law Enforcement Center at 401 Walton Way within 330 days, and renovate Craig-Houghton Elementary School within 90 days.
The city’s appeal was based on Brown’s order being a judicial emergency order issued because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Brown’s order, issued July 24, cited a certificate of judicial need for additional space to conduct the court’s business to enable litigants to have a speedy trial by jury.
No court in Georgia has been allowed to hold jury trials since mid-March, when Georgia Supreme Court Justice Harold Melton issued the first of a series of emergency orders based on the COVID-19 pandemic.
Court officials throughout the state have been trying to figure out if and how to conduct jury trials in the future with COVID-19 because of the need for social distancing. Every jury trial requires the participation of dozens of people who if called for jury duty cannot refuse to attend.
Brown has championed the use of the former Joint Law Enforcement Center — which was built in the 1980s and began leaking before its grand opening, a situation that only grew worse in addition to mold issues over the decades — for a juvenile justice center. In his July order, Brown noted that there are courtrooms at 401 Walton Way that could be used.
The Augusta Commission last year delayed the planned demolition of 401 Walton Way to test its viability as a film set, after several movie productions used it. In response to Brown’s order, however, the commission voted to proceed with demolition.
Several commissioners said they were blindsided by the order and called it disingenuous. Some asked why Brown would not initially consider night court or using available space — including the commission chamber — for court proceedings.
The 401 Walton Way building housed two courtrooms for State Court, a courtroom for the former municipal court, and a small juvenile court courtroom.
Brown’s order for a certificate of need is rarely used in Georgia. In a 1990 case, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled in favor of Chatham County judges whose request to the county commission for two clerk positions was denied.
In that order, the justices noted that while the three branches of government operate independently, the judicial branch is entitled to funds it sees as appropriate to perform its judicial duties. But the court noted about its power: “The inherent power is not a sword, but a shield.”
Five years later, the state Supreme Court ruled against a DeKalb County judge who issued a certificate of need for the county to install a sprinkler system in the courthouse. A fire suppression system may be desired by any tenant, but it is not essential for judicial business, the court ruled.

From overseas, the Spanish producers Dj Keal and Hibe have joined up again to work on a new album titled "Borderless". After much anticipation from the previously released former beat compilation called "Rest in Beats" which dropped about a year ago, they both have decided to embark on a new and exciting collaborative project which will surely give them a chance to be heard across the ocean. According to Dj Keal & Hibe, both have said "We don't care about borders or language, we are just willing to get involved in music."
For this project, which has 13 tracks and features renowned artists such as Miilk Bone, Tito Fuerte (Original Text), Sic Shane, Phace, Venomous2000, Athena, StreesWon and Esh Temonolith.
“Land of Synth” plays on several themes of synthetic sounds, to the synthetic roles played by artist in the “music industry to every day life. Influences run the gamut Sun Ra, Wutang to Nas, Tupac, The Roots, Mos Def, Common, A Tribe Called Quest, Pharaoh Monch, and Outkast to name a few.
Tri-coastal lyricist Sum presents "Excuses", the new single from his new album Dragon, Volume 1. Wielding a versatile, virtuosic style developed between his hometown of Chicago and his adopted hometowns of Charlotte, Atlanta, NYC and now Los Angeles, Sum was first introduced to us via his albums The Lil Folk, Lone Wolf, animated hip-hopera The Nobody Hole and his future-funk collective The Milky Way.
Delicious Vinyl, the label that released Cali rap crew The Pharcyde's groundbreaking 1992 debut album Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde (quoted as Kanye West's favorite album), has teamed up with Fatlip and Slimkid3 - two of the former Pharcyde members - along with Bizarre Ride producers J-Sw!ft and L.A. Jay for Bizarre Ride Live, a series of shows where they perform the entire album, blurring the lines between a straight up hip-hop show and a theatrical performance.

INTERNATIONAL UNDERTAKING ON
PLANT GENETIC RESOURCES (IU)
Keeping free access to the world's plant genetic resources for food and agriculture
Updated CSO Sign-on Letter, June
Updated CSO sign on letter Please sign and forward to other CSOs and Farmers Organisations
Between June 25 and 30 the FAO Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture will finalise the INTERNATIONAL UNDERTAKING on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (IU). It is a make-or break meeting.
We need to increase pressure on the negotiators to underline the importance of keeping these genetic resources free from property rights which would restrict access.
In April, 327 Organisations from 59 Countries signed a letter to the negotiators in Spoleto, Italy. See Spoleto Letter.
This letter has been updated and we ask you to sign this new letter on behalf of your organisation (an email confirming that you will sign up is sufficient) and pass it on to other organisations, networks and listserves.
The letters, with all the signatories, will be presented to the CGRFA on June 25.
Please send further endorsements with the full name of your organisation and the Name of the country where you are located to firstname.lastname@example.org by June 24.
The following websites provide a lot of background information and should help you to formulate your messages for your contacts and the media: RAFI www.rafi.org; GRAIN www.grain.org; UK Agricultural Biodiversity Coalition www.ukabc.org; Berne Declaration www.evb.ch/bd/food.htm; Greenpeace www.greenpeace.org/~geneng/.
In brief: the INTERNATIONAL UNDERTAKING is an important legally-binding international agreement that aims to ensure that for the genetic resources of the worlds most important food crops there is:
The IU has the potential to be a prime example of responsible global governance of access to genetic resources that underpin social needs. The resources covered by the IU are our life insurance against future adversity be it from climate change, war, industrial developments or ecosystem collapse.
Failure in these negotiations could be extremely serious. NGOs that have been following this issue for the last 7 years conclude that failure would:

GLOBAL SEED TREATY THREATENEDPDF version
A Treaty to Save the World's Seeds for the Benefit of All may Fall at the Last Hurdle
At the end of June, the World's governments will meet in FAO Rome to conclude negotiations on a legally-binding agreement that will govern the use of the crop seed varieties and genetic resources which underpin global and local food security. It is urgently required because of the rapid loss of these varieties-- more than 75% in the past century-- and because of the increasing use of intellectual property rights to claim sole ownership over crop seeds and their genes, which is restricting farmers access.
This agreement is called the International Undertaking on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, or IU for short. It covers many of the major food crops in the world. It aims to ensure the conservation, sustainable use and free flow of the genetic resources of these crops so that they are "preserved and freely available for use, for the benefit of present and future generations". It recognises Farmers' Rights to access and use seeds.
It also ensures that when these genetic resources are used commercially by industrialised countries for plant breeding or food, farmers in developing countries receive a fair share of the profits generated, in return for their contribution to the crops development.
For centuries, farmers have developed crop varieties within their diversified agricultural systems - varieties to suit every possible social, economic and environmental requirement. This has been achieved through the free exchange of seeds between farmers who, by planting them in different conditions thereby generate greater diversity .Under challenging conditions, this diversity provides greater food security by spreading risk through the use of many different varieties. The food security of two thirds of humanity is still based on these traditional agricultural technologies and seed exchanges rather than industrial agriculture.
Furthermore, the hundreds of thousands of local varieties of the main food crops developed by these farmers constitute an invaluable part of the worlds agricultural biodiversity, which the international community has pledged to protect. Under the Convention on Biological Diversity it is recognised that this conservation must be an active process of sustainable use by farmers in their fields in other words, farmers are the custodians of this vital source of food and ecological security and manage this on behalf of us all.
At present, the IU only covers 30 food crops. It should cover all those food crops that are important for food security - some 100 or more crops.
Two substantial problems arise.
First, 'Biopiracy is rife. Intellectual Property Rights regimes create private ownership rights which remove locally adapted varieties from communal ownership and exchange, threatening future development of these varieties. Universities and corporations are claiming unjustifiable intellectual property rights on them, and industry is now seeking to extend the IPR system as far as it can to seize control of the genes contained in these varieties.
The commercial seed industry held its World Seed Congress in South Africa in May 2001 and, under pressure from the Canadian and US governments, has hardened its attitude against the IU, reneging on its support for "commercial benefit sharing" -- that is, paying back a little of the profits it makes from the genetic resources into a system which helps conserve them.
Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) regard this as unacceptable and urge countries to stand firm in their demand that those who benefit from the commercial use of genetic resources should pay. These negotiations are meaningless if there are no tangible benefits to farmers in developing countries, who are guardians of these resources.
Second, some Latin American countries are failing to recognise the essential need for a multilateral agreement to cover the complex international composition and origin of most crop plants' genes, which know no national boundaries. These countries prefer to cling on to bilateral deals between countries despite the fact that the stronger always wins. CSOs see no benefit for the world's farmers and consumers in bilateral agreements and criticise those who are destroying the agreement for the unrealisable dream of potential national gain. The views of these countries fly in the face of nearly 10 years of international debate that has recognised the distinctive nature of these crop genetic resources requiring different, multilateral treatment because of their complex cross-boundary nature.
PRICE OF FAILURE
US pressure on the seed industry is part of a concerted attempt to stall or dilute the IU negotiations. These have come close to collapse since November 2000, with the US and its allies repeatedly trying to re-open negotiations in areas which are already agreed by a majority of countries.
If the IU is not achieved there will be serious consequences for:
Failure would result in paralysis of the free flow of genetic resources for food and agriculture, as they become increasingly privatised and controlled by the private sector. By privatising, access and use are inhibited, which stops the free-flow of crop genetic resources that are the very basis of their evolution.
The IU will provide the mechanism for benefits to be shared with farmers. It will also keep these vital resources in the public domain -- free from privatisation and dominant commercial control. This includes the half a million samples of crops and forage species taken from farmers and already held in trust in international genebanks by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research centres as well as the many hundreds of thousands of varieties in national collections and farmers fields.
The International Undertaking on plant genetic resources (IU) will be legally binding. It will be governed under the auspices of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in harmony with the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). All countries will have the right to participate in its governance together with Civil Society.
Furthermore, the IU has the potential to be a prime example of responsible global governance, ensuring that those genetic resources which underpin social needs are maintained in the public domain. This agricultural biodiversity is our life insurance against future adversity be it from climate change, war, industrial developments or ecosystem collapse. As these threats grow, so does the need to maintain the free-flow of seeds and thereby the agricultural biodiversity on which we will be even more dependant on in times of instability.
Thus, if agreed, the IU should:
CSOs insist governments should achieve a just, equitable and effective IU that facilitates universal access to the genetic resources essential for food and agriculture.
MAKE OR BREAK MEETING
From 25 to 30 June, 160 governments will be locked in final negotiations in the headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) in Rome, Italy. CSOs observing these proceedings will be reporting regularly on Governments' performance (see www.ukabc.org/iu2.htm).
Failure is unacceptable and irresponsible - present and future generations are depending on you.

One of the things that I enjoy the most about being a shopkeeper is decorating my shop windows. It can be a lot of work but I love the creativity of it. Although the shop is temporarily closed, due to the pandemic, I’m still changing my window displays. This latest window reflects my love for my friends, my customers, my community, and my little shop.
The hearts were cut out using my Cricut machine, which to be honest, I’ve had for over a year without learning how to use. Some of the smaller hearts were made into banners using decoupage. Here are some of the supplies that I used: Mod Podge, a wide bristle brush, and a brayer. My brayer is actually a Pampered Chef pastry roller. I bought to make pastry, haha. Well, there’s still time to learn how to make pastry. In the mean time though, I found that this tool makes a great brayer. You can use any type of brush that you like to spread the Mod Podge but I prefer a bristle brush over a sponge brush for no particular reason. I just like the way it feels.
The other necessary items were pretty card stock and something to use as the base for the banner. The card stock needs something to add more stability. Several years ago, I made a banner out of jumbo sized playing hearts for a Valentine’s Day window display. Having some left over from the previous project, I decided to use them as the base for my banner.
The next step in the project was to trace around the card onto the card stock and cut it out. I coated the back of the card with Mod Podge, placed the cut out card stock on it and then rolled the brayer across it using a lot of pressure. This action removes any bubbles and helps the card stock adhere to the base. I let these dry overnight.
The next step was to decoupage one of the smaller paper hearts onto the middle using the same steps as before. Again, I let the decoupage dry overnight.
After all of the garland pieces were completed, it was time to assemble. Two holes were punched at the top of the pieces and then twine threaded through the holes. I then tied three colors of curling ribbon onto the twine and curled.
I hope that you like the finished result.
Try some decoupage! I find it very relaxing.

How Eating Habits Affect your work life ?-TECH Central Nigeria
For some people, “I’m hungry” also signifies “I’m not in an excellent mood, so keep off!”.
Your feeding habit and your work life have a kind of relationship that beats time repeatedly. Long sentences short, I’m just saying you can define your mood and how you respond to work by choosing what you eat. And I’m curious to know how you do your work in a sour mood.
Food is one component that helps you surf through life daily with reduced anxiety. Some simple tasks might seem difficult just because you skipped your breakfast.
Larry Alton an independent business consultant referencing various psychological studies stated that breakfast is key to high performance in morning hours. He also referenced a study conducted by Roy F. Baumeister on children to test the relevance of breakfast to productivity and they found out that children who ate breakfast before school were more likely to learn better than those who did not.
Why do you eat or like food? Is it just for battling hunger pangs?
Some people eat for the wrong reasons like using it to cope with certain situations (very wrong). A colleague once told me she eats more when she reads so she can read well. True! Food gives energy but this is also a smooth way to binge eating which in my opinion, is a food crime. Stop using food to cope with Stress!
You’re bored? Go out. Don’t substitute food for some function it’s not meant to perform.
Food is a stimulant, but stop using it to repress or stimulate for the wrong reasons. Gorging on food can also lead to blood pressure, diabetes, etc. So remember to gorge healthy.
Benefits of healthy feeding habit
How does eating healthy affects our productivity? Here are a number of ways.
- Eating improves your energy level, it makes you more active and cheerful through the whole workday.
- It helps you control your physical appearance when you eat healthy so you don’t look like you’re working but gaining nothing.
- It improves your sense of self and helps in reducing depressive thoughts.
- Moderate eating ensures good health and good quality of life.
- You have a positive feeling about food.
- Based on research, it has been found that eating healthy makes for a very sound mind.
- This makes one more happy and creative.
How to improve your feeding habit
Here are some way to improve your feeding habit as adapted by WebMD
Stop missing the normal eating time breakfast.
Don’t eat at night, you might be tempted while compiling that project, but please don’t.
Have a list of healthy foods you should eat. Plan your feeding schedule well.
Stop double tasking while eating.
Don’t forget to take water
Don’t binge eat to avoid obesity and stop under eating so anorexia nervosa won’t come.
Having an eating partner can contribute to a positive feeling towards food.
Avoid or reduce caffeine the use of Caffeine to stay awake to meet up with deadlines, it’s more dangerous than helpful.
According to Elaine Maggie of WebMD, changing your diet can change your brain structure. The brain requires lots of energy to function and it derives this from the food we consume. Hence, changing your diet pattern changes the kind of chemical the brain ingests and uses, it also changes some chemical activities in the brain which in turn alters behaviour.
Food that helps the mood and work-life
Carbohydrates: this contains serotonin-producing components and serotonin regulates our mood. Examples are fruits, vegetables, fiber, legumes, etc. Also, eating carbohydrates as breakfast makes you alert in the morning and keeps you going through the day, and it’s also a nice combo in between breakfast and lunch. Be productive and energy makes you more so with lots of ideas streaming in.
Omega 3: these fatty acids have been postulated by research as a protection against depression, according to Maggie Elaine of WebMD. So always eat fish. Research has shown that Fish has brain-boosting capacities, it helps your memory function well. You need an excellent memory to function well.
Food is rich in Selenium: food like nuts, whole grain, beans, etc. Improves depression in Older people.
Vitamin D: Food like Mushroom, tuna, mackerel, e.t.c have been proven by researchers to be depression improving food.
Always eat right to feel and work right! Feeding well makes you strong and healthy both. If you do not have a strong emotional and physical health, you cannot function and relate with people well enough to boost productivity not only for yourself but also among your team.

Liz Truss has been urged to “stand up” to Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi over their continued interventions on Brexit by warning them to “mind their own business”. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Liz Truss hinted a trade deal between the UK and US could be several years away, warning she isn’t expecting talks to start “in the short to medium term”. Mr Biden met Ms Truss for the first time at the UN General Assembly in New York. The White House had said he would tell her she must work with the European Union to find a negotiated outcome to solve post-Brexit tensions over the Protocol.


Much of the writing being produced right now on the Internet is excellent but ephemeral; there’s no assurance it will be available to anyone in 100 years, or even 10. Novels, on the other hand, are just about the most durable home for words we’ve yet discovered.
If you pack a novel full of politics and culture, it might not make a dent in 2012 … but by 2022, or 2112, the rest of the words written this year will have disappeared, scoured away by time and technology upgrades, and that novel will get another swing.
We use novels, not old newspapers, to get a sense of what life was like 100 years ago. I believe 100 years from now, future generations will still use novels the same way. They’ll use novels, not tweets or posts like this.
— Robin Sloan, the author and self-proclaimed “Media Inventor,” (I wish he would stop using that term to describe himself, makes him seem like the douchebag he probably isn’t) writes for the NY Times on why new media is actually reinforcing the ever-enduring power of the novel.
I’ve enjoyed designing web pages and building iPhone apps, but I’m not convinced that any of it will be accessible for very long. That’s just the nature of the internet right now — we’re still in shakedown mode, figuring out what works and what doesn’t. Plain text, though, already made it through the shakedown. Invest in text — learn to design sentences and build stories — and it’s a sure bet, no matter what the future holds.
— A few months later Sloan was interviewed by The Millions and makes his case again, this time focusing more on the power of storytelling.

A new report released by Child Care Aware of America, an advocacy group in Virginia, says the annual price of center-based infant care in California is $16,452 a year. That is more than half the state’s median income for single-parent families and about 17 percent of the median income for two-parent families, the report says.
For the record:
7:27 PM, Jan. 02, 2020Story was corrected to reflect that only one in nine eligible families can access county subsidies; others are instead placed on wait lists.
Data collected by the YMCA of San Diego County shows full-time infant care in San Diego costs an average of $15,513 annually for licensed child care centers. The average cost decreases to about $9,800 annually at licensed family child care homes.
By comparison, the average cost of public college in California is $9,870 annually for tuition and fees, the report said.
The situation is similar in other states. Nationally average child care expenses hover between about $18,000 and $26,000 annually, depending on the region, the report says.
Although costs remain high nationally — and they’ve been at this level for a while — advocates say lowering prices isn’t the solution.
“In a perfect world, child care should cost a lot,” said Dionne Dobbins, senior director of research at Child Care Aware. “We think it should be expensive. But we also think that parents and providers shouldn’t be bearing the brunt of that cost.”
She said the industry demands a strong public investment, instead of lowering costs, because many child care providers already are struggling. Even with high costs, the price parents pay isn’t normally enough to cover all of a provider’s expenses, Dobbins said.
The kind of investment many advocates seek mirrors the way the government supports degree seekers.
“About 60 percent of funding for child care comes directly from parents,” Dobbins said. “In comparison, when you’re thinking about paying for college … about 23 percent of the cost for a public education comes from parents and the rest is typically subsidized by state and federal funds.”
In California, as with the rest of the nation, most parents seeking assistance paying for child care can’t access it.
Kim McDougal, executive director of San Diego’s YMCA Child Care Resource Service, said only one in nine eligible families can access county subsidies; others are instead placed on wait lists. She said those eligibility requirements aren’t easy to meet.
“We know that if you don’t meet the need and eligibility requirements because you make just a little bit more than 85 percent of the state median income, child care is still incredibly unaffordable,” McDougal said. “There’s a pretty big chasm between those that qualify and those that can actually afford it.”
To work around expensive child care costs, McDougal said, many parents are forced to piece together complicated work schedules or leave children in the hands of family or friends. Dobbins said some parents resort to sending their children to unlicensed facilities, which are not monitored by the state.
Laura Kohn, director of early workforce development for the San Diego Workforce Partnership, said this reality disproportionately affects women and people of color.
She said women in San Diego enter the workforce at lower than expected rates, which is “symptomatic of the poor state of child care.” When it comes to scheduling child care, she said, people of color tend to work less traditional hours, which can make it difficult for them to find a center that fits their needs.
“People in those communities are those who are more likely to be in service jobs, be that retail, health care or public safety,” Kohn said.
As advocates await the kinds of big financial reforms needed to make child care accessible to most families, McDougal said, the upcoming federal budget includes a $550 million increase for child care funds. This amount will be distributed throughout the country.
“It is a small drop in the bucket,” McDougal said. “It won’t really drastically move the needle, unfortunately, but it will help.”
In the meantime, she said, the industry is looking for nontraditional funding streams to ease the financial burden of child care on working families. This includes lobbying local elected officials, because the industry generally depends on assistance from state and federal sources.
Dobbins said reform in this area is also dependent on cooperation from employers when it comes to accommodating employees’ work schedules and offering the right kinds of benefits.
For parents seeking affordable child care options, McDougal recommends researching family child care homes, which are less expensive than child care centers. She said other options are slim if a family is not eligible for subsidies.

Ukrainian President Likely to Dissolve Parliament Next Week
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko is to sign a decree on dissolving the Verkhovna Rada and calling early parliamentary elections next week.
"I think it is 95% likely that there will be a presidential decree next week on dissolving the Verkhovna Rada and calling early parliamentary elections, as the 30-day time frame for forming a new coalition will expire within the next few days," presidential adviser Oleg Medvedev said on Radio Liberty, as cited by Interfax.
"Nobody is trying" to form a new coalition and is not planning to try, and therefore the president will be entitled to dissolve the parliament, he added.
Factions UDAR and Svoboda have previously announced that they quit the coalition. If MPs do not form a new coalition before the end of August, according to the Constitution, the Ukrainian president will have all reasons to dissolve the parliament and announce early parliamentary elections on October 26, Itar-Tass informs.

Today we are going to be talking about food storage! In an emergency disaster, people believe water and some foods are important, but mainly water. What happens when you have all this water and not enough food? What good is water without food, or visa/versa?
Yes, eventually you will run out of food, but with a little preparedness you can run out of food when the disaster is over and things are back to normal. How do you ask? Start now! When you go to the store and buy grocery’s think about buying one, two or several items of extra cans of food that you normally eat all the time and before you know it, BAM! You have food you can rotate through as you use it. The wonderful thing about this is that it is your food you use every day, not MRE’s or food you think are gross, but real good food you eat.
But now we have a problem, where do we store it? Well, do what I did and build a storage rack. Normal food storage racks cost anywhere between $300 to $500 dollars! Who has that cash laying around? Not me, I have a family and I do live on a budget, so money is very tight at times. My wife is always on me about be prepared and she really keeps us up on our items that we need and things we must have, (good woman she is).
So, I am attaching a link below so you too can have the plains to build a food storage rack cheap. It cost me around $65.00 and my time cutting and putting it together. THIS IS A MUST, not only can you store food on it but keeps it organized too. As you can see in the picture my wife labeled each space for the items we use.
Don’t miss out of not being prepared! Get started now. Have fun and until next time

Surface Energy Fluxes Over Arctic Sea Icei.email@example.com
The Arctic is warming 2-3 times faster than the global average. The most obvious manifestation of this warming is the dramatic reduction in the area of sea ice at the end of the summer melt. The dominant control on the formation and melt of sea ice is the surface energy budget – the amount of heat entering or leaving the surface. There are two major components of the surface energy: solar and infra red radiation, and the turbulent exchange of heat between the surface and overlying atmosphere.
Climate models have generally failed to reproduce the recent dramatic decline in minimum ice extent (figure 1). This results in part from poor representation of the ice itself within the models and in part from biases in the modelled surface energy budget. Both problems ultimately stem from inadequate understanding of the physical processes involved, and the interactions and feedbacks between them. This in turn results from sparse observational data sets with which to study them. This project will study the turbulent processes controlling heat exchange between the surface and atmosphere using the most wide-ranging set of turbulence measurements ever made over the Arctic Ocean.
Figure 1. The recent decline in Arctic sea ice minimum extent from satellite measurements and climate models. Note the models fail to reproduce the dramatic decline observed in the latter half of the observational record.
The measurements to be used are drawn from two research cruises on the icebreaker Oden: a 12-week cruise made in July-October 2014, which worked around the marginal ice zone along the Siberian Shelf between Norway and Alaska; and a 6-week cruise in August-September 2016, which worked in the central Arctic Ocean in more consolidated sea ice (figure 2).
Surface turbulent exchanges depend upon the wind speed, the roughness of the surface, the thermal stability of the near-surface air, and the gradient of the quantity being exchanged – in the case of the heat flux, the gradient in temperature between the surface and the measurement height. Over sea ice, the surface temperature may be spatially heterogeneous, with the ice at a different temperature from the exposed water in open leads; these surfaces also have different roughness. The surface fluxes then depend also on the fractions and spatial distributions of ice and water at the surface.
Direct measurements of the turbulent heat flux were made throughout both cruises. These constitute one of the largest such data sets ever collected, and certainly spanning a wider range of surface conditions than any other data set. Digital images of the surface were also obtained at 1 minute intervals throughout the two cruises, from 3 different cameras. During AO2016 thermal images were also obtained from an infra red camera. These images will be processed and analysed using machine learning techniques to classify the surface along the ship track, in order to evaluate the measured heat flux and the thermal turbulent exchange coefficient as a function of ice/water fraction, and thermal contrasts between ice and water surfaces.
Figure 2. Cruise tracks for icebreaker Oden during the 2014 ACSE/SWERUS-C3 (blue) and 2016 AO2016 (red) cruises. The pale blue line shows the ice edge on August 31, 2016.
The radiative flux contributions to the surface energy budget are controlled primarily by cloud cover. Cloud reduces the amount of solar radiation reaching the surface, but also reduces surface energy losses by infra red radiation. The net impact of low cloud over sea ice is usually to warm the surface compared to cloud free conditions, but the precise energy budget is very sensitive to cloud properties. Cloud properties are in turn controlled in part by turbulent processes – the mixing of water vapour and aerosol upwards from the surface, and down across cloud top from the free troposphere. Turbulent mixing can be driven both from the surface, and also by infra red cooling at cloud top.
Turbulent mixing throughout the lower atmosphere and in cloud will be determined using measurements from a Doppler lidar (backscattered laser light) (Achtert et al. 2015) and Doppler cloud radar (O’Connor et al. 2010; Shupe et al. 2012). In combination with other instruments, these also allow detailed retrievals of cloud properties (Illingworth et al. 2007). This will allow the interactions between cloud properties, surface fluxes, and the turbulent structure of the Arctic boundary layer to be studied, and improved parameterizations developed for use in numerical models.
This analysis will contribute to ongoing work to refine the turbulent flux parameterizations in the Met Office operational forecast and climate models, and to improve the model’s representation of boundary layer structure and cloud over Arctic sea ice.
The project will involve direct collaborations with the Oden cruise project partners at Stockholm University and the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. Comparison of the observational results with outputs from the Met Office Unified Model will be undertaken in collaboration with colleagues at the University of East Anglia and at the Met Office.

The fall theater production "Native Gardens" will open at Minnesota West-Worthington Campus on Friday, November 15th. There is a dinner option for the Friday performance only for $20 (advanced
A cast of six Minnesota West Community and Technical College students brings to life the contemporary comedy “Native Gardens” at the Minnesota West Fine Arts Theater.
Written by Karen Zacarias and performed at the Guthrie Theater in 2017, “Native Gardens” explores the frequently comic implications of an educated, expectant and liberal-minded young couple moving in next door to a button-downed older twosome with a more static outlook.
“The older pair has a very well-kept English garden, but the younger two want to put in a native garden — hence the title — and the style difference in how the two families perceive their yards sets up a humorous clash between them that addresses class, privilege, entitlement and taste,” summarized Eric E. Parrish, the show’s director.
