Most, if not all people, hold the common goal of leading happy lives. There are general conceptions about what a happy life actually is. For a lot of individuals, a happy life depends upon how much money one has. But for others, happiness takes a different form and might relate to what a person feels their purpose is. For example, if you believe that your purpose in life is to help mankind, then you may receive happiness through volunteering or philanthropy.
By understanding what makes you happy, you’ll be one step closer to leading a happy life. Happiness is not just a distant emotion felt during a person’s younger years. It’s an emotion that is always accessible and obtainable to all. However, how it is to be obtained will differ from person to person. There are ways to improve your daily happiness by incorporating new habits, removing bad habits, and also reprogramming how you perceive your life. Simply understanding how to be happy is helpful as well.
How to lead a happy life
Many of us still hold onto perceptions and ways of thinking we’ve had since our childhood. The way we process situations, our morality, and character are all elements primarily influenced by our childhoods. This can be a beautiful thing as it helps us to navigate our way through life and make responsible decisions.
However, this can have an adverse effect if you’ve experienced a childhood of negativity and toxicity. Environments like that can foster a negative self-image and low self-esteem that some people happen to carry into their adulthood. For example, if you were raised in a competitive academic household and nothing you did seemed to be good enough to your parents, you might find that you are still comparing yourself to others and judging yourself harshly. There are practical approaches to leading a happy life despite the kind of life you might’ve had prior. Here are just a few ways to reclaim your happiness and lead a happy life:
1. Do not compare
You might be comparing yourself to others without even realizing it. Comparisons don’t have to be verbally addressed. You can compare subtly by looking at another person and measuring yourself to their standard. By comparing yourself to another person’s standard of being, you may find yourself always trying to live up to that person’s standard. This is an endless and empty pursuit of happiness where a person tries to fulfill themselves with what they think will bring them a happy life. However, nothing could be farthest from the truth. In fact, many people who try to live for others find themselves miserable or even more insecure.
To lead a happy life, you shouldn’t compare your success or progress to other people. Understand that you are in your own league, and the only competition you should hold is competing to improve upon your personal best. Let’s say you own a business, you shouldn’t compare your sales with the number of sales of another company. Instead, seek to do better than your last record of sales. This will save you from any potential disappointment and future discouragement. Also, you must let go of the standard you think you should uphold, especially if you know you won’t get any fulfillment from that goal. Perhaps those goals are not yours but someone else’s.
2. Know thyself
To obtain a happy life, you must know yourself. In the movie “The Matrix,” Neo went to an oracle. Above the doorway leading to the oracle were the words “Know Thyself.” Some of us let our pasts define us, and others of us look to the future to tell us who we really are. The truth is only in the power of now and knowing that you can create the life you want to live. The oracle told him of the possibilities as one should understand that nothing is written in stone and that one’s capabilities are endless.
How can you get to know yourself? One way is to isolate yourself from the most influential variables in your life. This could be friends, family, culture, religion, or even society. All of these entities tell us what we should be and what we should seek to obtain our happiness. We then feel guilt or shame when we haven’t received it because we think we didn’t do enough. Living a happy life shouldn’t ever feel like a strain, something to resist, nor something you must conform to. Isolation can be achieved by going on a short retreat or merely choosing to not allow others to have such a bearing on your perceptions. By doing this, you allow yourself to see what you truly want out of life and not what others want for your life. This is one reason why monks practice detachment and solitude. By obtaining solitude, you can live better among society and loved ones without feeling pressured to be a certain way. You will have discovered what fulfills you and what does not.
3. Be selfless
“Anything you can not relinquish when it has outlived it’s usefulness possesses you, and in this materialistic age a great many of us are possessed by our possessions.”Peace Pilgrim
Materialistic things don’t equate to happiness as we’ve seen many rich people still exhibit things like depression. The complexity of the human mind also relies on other factors when it comes to happiness. Sometimes more money can breed more problems. For instance, with more money, you may have people approaching you to use you for their own monetary gain. Thus, you might not know who to trust or who’s truly authentically in your life for you and not your money.
“Materialism is the philosophy of the subject who forgets to take account of himself.”Arthur Schopenhauer
Selflessness could help you live a happy life as it takes the emphasis away from collecting things that you don’t necessarily need. Instead, your attention deviates from helping others, and this can help you to appreciate what you do have. Sometimes people don’t realize how great their lives are because they are focusing on things that don’t truly matter to them. You can think about the people you have in your life, the support system, and all of the basic necessities you have. By taking inventory of what you have, you’ll have a clearer perspective of what you may need to become happier.
4. Be selfish
“It’s not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and make your happiness a priority. It’s a necessity.”Mandy Hale
On the other hand, being selfish could help those who are accustomed to being too selfless. Giving is good, but it can become detrimental when people are giving away the things they need. For example, you may want to help loved ones with an errand; however, you realize that you have something else to do at that time. If you find yourself putting other peoples’ needs before your own, this can be what’s preventing you from leading a happy life. As much as we want to help, we must help ourselves first. In situations like these, you shouldn’t feel guilty for being a bit selfish. In fact, a little selfishness is a requirement for living a happy life. You must be willing to prioritize yourself before anyone else. This is to ensure you are never left without. Even giving has its limits.
“It’s not your job to be everything to everyone.”Linda Frame
Put the oxygen mask on yourself, first
To live a happy life, you can’t expect yourself to be available for everyone whenever they need something. Your happy life should come before trying to pour into anyone else’s cup. This creates exhaustion and hinders a happy life. A happy life is not a person trying to balance the world on their shoulders. A happy life consists of self-set boundaries and an understanding that it isn’t your responsibility to help everyone. This can be difficult for some people to accept. However, it’s still fundamental to maintain a happy life.
“Self respect, self worth and self love, all start with self. Stop looking outside of yourself for value.”Rob Liano
Self-love improves one’s self worth and builds a happy life. You can practice self-love by treating yourself to a spa day, going on a shopping trip, or taking up a hobby that you’re passionate about. You have to lead a happy life by removing toxic habits and people from your life. Toxic people can be friends, romantic partners, business associates, or even family. Toxic habits that prohibit a happy life might include stressing, overworking, self-compromise, etc. Instead, to live a happy life, you should surround yourself with people who add value to your life instead of those who drain your energy. That’s also a way to practice self-love and build a happy life by practicing self-respect.
“Of this is true: You do not find the happy life. You make it.”Thomas S. Monson
A happy life is built. As stated, nothing is written in stone. So, you can shape the happy life you want to live. Don’t allow others to define what a happy life means or look like for you. You create your own vision based on the things you believe will bring you happiness. A happy life isn’t contingent on what society thinks is cool or what your elders have told you they want you to become. A happy life is based solely on what brings you the most joy and peace of mind.
Tips for leading a happy life
- Do not conform to other people’s standards of happiness.
- Create a gratitude journal, and list some of the things you are grateful for.
- Practice self-love, and put your well-being first.
- Take time and explore different hobbies to find what you’re truly passionate about.
- Work to achieve inner peace.
- Redefine what happiness is to you.
- Inspire yourself. Check out these happiness quotes.
- Remove the previous programming by practicing mindfulness.
- Relearn your likes and dislikes.
- Adopt the habit of meditating daily to clear the mind of stressors.
- Change your perception of success and failure.
- Use aromatherapy for self-care.
- Recite positive affirmations to combat negative emotions.
- Eat more chocolate, and boost your serotonin levels.
- Set boundaries.
- Work a job you enjoy and look forward to.
- Incorporate nature into your home decor.
Start leading a happy life
There is no preset way to obtain or maintain a happy life. A happy life is unique and personal to your own likes and dislikes. Understand that there are no predetermined blueprints for a happy life and that everyone’s “happy life” will look a little or very differently. Relinquish any doubts or fears you may still harbor and accept the possibilities of living the happy life you envision. You can achieve a happy life by first detaching your expectations of what a happy life should be. Instead, focus only on what makes you happy and take action to do those things you find joy in. Then, you’ll be able to lead your ideal happy life.

A Costco proposed for Thorncliffe Park that deeply divided residents in both the area and in neighbouring Leaside has been approved by the city.
Proponents of the 42 Overlea Blvd. proposal argued it would bring between 100 and 150 stable, well-paying jobs to one of the city’s most disadvantaged neighbourhoods, Ward 22 councillor Jon Burnside said.
Opponents, including Thorncliffe Park residents and Leaside Property Owners Association co-president Carol Burtin Fripp, argued it would increase traffic in the area by up to nearly 45 percent, particularly if the 18 gas pumps originally requested by Costco were included.
“It’s absolutely a difficult file, because there were strong opinions on both sides of the issue,” said Burnside, who during negotiations with Costco succeeded in deferring the gas pumps until a further study could be done.
The chief obstacle for opponents of the proposal was a September report from city planning staff that recommended approving the application, including gas pumps. It noted a traffic study by the city’s transportation department had estimated Costco would generate about 917 two-way trips during weekday peak hours and concluded the impact on nearby traffic would be acceptable.
“The problem — and I probably had about 15 or 20 meetings about this — is that transportation won’t say no unless there’s total road failure, which basically means a two-hour traffic jam,” Burnside said. “It’s a ridiculous threshold … and I’m working to hopefully change that.”
The LPOA’s traffic consultant concluded that building Costco would increase traffic in the area by four percent at first but it would gradually increase over time.
“It’s not as if on day one there will be 1,000 shoppers,” Fripp said. “There’s going to be 1,000 shoppers two years later … and by the time the store is finished, the Eglinton LRT will have been finished, and there will be one fewer lane of traffic along Eglinton, so people are going to cut through North Leaside if they’re coming from the north and west, and south and central Leaside if they’re coming from west and south.”
Burnside said he was happy with the outcome given the circumstances, noting the positive staff report would have guaranteed the approval of the project, including the gas pumps, at the Ontario Municipal Board.
“I think everyone agreed the biggest concern was the gas bars,” he said. “So if they want to apply them in the future after the store is opened, we can do a new traffic study with actual numbers, not just projections.”
He called it “absolutely the best deal we could have hoped for.”
Fripp said her group was disappointed. “We’ll be watching with, shall we say, exquisite care as things progress, and we’ll try to be heavily involved in any kind of impact studies that will be made.”
A Costco representative told the Town Crier it’s the company’s policy not to comment on any real estate transactions until the company has purchased a property and all required approvals are in place.

That's always nice, a good setup thread!
Way to go to start it Ozz!
My first ideas (which may change of course if people come with good arguments)
Timeslot: maybe try epic for once. Marathon is great though.
9 players, maybe 10 at most. Maybe just all players in HOTWVII now. I'd love it to have a solid game now without droppers, leavers and many changes.
Map: Terra is doing great. Pangea might be fun for once as well though.
Tech Trading: I'd say: Trade Only Self Researched Techs (Unlimited) (TOSRT)
The bad thing at TORaCTT is the limit, it creates fixed 3 player alliances. It's impossible to help backwards civilizations and therefor it's hard to get back in the game once you're behind.
With TOSRT we still have the benefits of inventing something yourself and not losing control of your tech after you gave it to someone. Inventing a tech has a huge value in TOSRT.
Maybe a 2nd rule might be trowed in, only trade techs with civs with whom you have open borders.
Mods: UN Mod (all players can be voted in as UN Secretary General)
I would LOVE it if we could start earlier then the current game starts.

Building a quantum internet is not as simple as just connecting two quantum computers.
Imagine for a second a quantum key distribution (QKD) system based on photons: one of the nodes sends a quantum state encoded in a photon, and the other, after some time, receives it and measures it in any of the basis. However, due to decoherence of the qubits, the state that was sent initially might not be the same as the one that's received, affecting the communication and performance of the protocol. It has been tested and simulated that for a QKD system, more than 100km is fatal for the communication rate. How can we circumvent these issues? Especially if we want to move further to more complicated protocols?
In the video, the basic blocks needed for a quantum network are explained, with emphasis on the communication channels, quantum repeaters, and introducing the concept of entanglement distillation.
Suppose we are just sending photons (light) using optical fibers, just the same way we do so for classical internet. Why can't why use the same repeaters as well?


Lady Antebellum is back in a big way with a new single, album and world tour after their hiatus to pursue separate solo projects over the past year. The trio returns to radio with the new single “You Look Good” today, and has announced their new album Heart Break will be out this summer on June 9. In celebration of the new music, Lady A’s Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood will host a Facebook Live fan event premiering the new music tonight at 8 p.m. CST here.
“We knew right away that we had to name this album after a track that is a play on the word ‘heartbreak,’” shared Scott. ”It’s all about those personal growths everyone goes through and it was liberating to get back in the studio with Charles and Dave to intertwine those feelings into the recording process. I feel like we’ve reemerged stronger than ever and I can’t wait to share more music!”
The new single was produced by busbee.
“We’ve always loved experimenting with different instruments and sounds in the studio, but we’ve never used horns before,” said Haywood. “The energy they brought to this song is really fun and was validation for all three of us that it had to be our first single back.”
The three are also returning to the road as they launch their You Look Good World Tour May 26 in Bakersfield, California, with special guests Kelsea Ballerini and Brett Young. The tour will include a stop in Nashville.
Presented by Nabisco, the tour will hit more than 65 cities around the world including a first-time trip to South Africa and several European stops as well. Fans can purchase tickets beginning Jan. 27 for select cities as part of Live Nation’s Country Megaticket at www.Megaticket.com and on www.ladyantebellum.com beginning Feb. 17.

For the past two weeks, my emotional and mental state have been driven into the dirt. Everyday for the past two weeks, I’ve been battling my depression and anxiety, and I’ve been telling myself that I still have a chance.
For the past two weeks, I’ve had possible signs of cancer. I thought I had bacterial infection. I took antibiotics for a week, but I didn’t improve. In fact, these lumps have spread even more. I took another kind of medicine, but it still didn’t work.
I listened in to a conversation between my friends, and they said that one of their friends had a similar condition to me. I didn’t want to chime in, so I just acted disinterested. They talked about how he might also have cancer and how much the chemotherapy would cost (it’s around Php1.6M).
Hearing how much it cost instantly shattered me. I was breaking on the inside. I couldn’t tell my friends what was happening to me. I don’t know why. I just shut down.
With that amount of money, it would put my family in poverty. I have no health insurance or a health care plan. Even if my family would be able to pay, my future would be ruined by it. The worst case scenario would be that I would die because I couldn’t fully pay for the treatment, and my family will be more broken and live in poverty.
I could die before I reached my 28th birthday.
I left my friends and immediately went home. I was having an anxiety attack. I felt Death coming to take me, and I was mortified. I have so many things to do in life, and I began to regret not doing them anytime sooner. I began to regret teaching because it didn’t earn me much, nor did it give me a solid health care plan.
Then I talked to the person who has kept me grounded for the past two weeks. She brings me happiness. She gives me clarity. Without her, my anxiety and depression would have taken me. She doesn’t know, but she’s my lighthouse in this hurricane. Just like a boat anchored to the seafloor, I can’t ever let her go.
Also, I had a fine needle biopsy, so I’ll know between 3-5 days what my fate will be.

What was your most important professional accomplishment or most notable project, deal, or transaction in 2022?
We’ve seen continued growth in both the life sciences and commercial sectors, particularly in Greater Boston where we’ve been delivering and continuing projects for our client partners. This year, alongside DLJ Real Estate Capital Partners and Leggat McCall Properties, we unveiled 101 South St. at Boynton Yards–the first purpose-built, class A lab building as part of the emerging 1.8 million s/f mixed-use life sciences community in Somerville. Home to four Flagship Pioneering-founded companies and featuring a range of community-focused amenity spaces, the building is an example of how we’re delivering new lab-based developments that are fueling innovative growth outside the hubs of Boston and Cambridge.
What person, project, transaction or market trend had the greatest impact on your industry this year?
From life sciences and commercial developments to historic preservation and adaptive reuse, the industry across the region continues to see a steady and diverse pipeline of projects. With our client partners spanning each major sector, we’re seeing firsthand how these projects continue to enhance communities across the region.
Whether it’s creating a multi-building, state-of-the-art life sciences and innovation hub in Somerville’s emerging Boynton Yards community or repurposing and preserving MIT’s historic Metropolitan Warehouse, there’s plenty to be excited about as we continue creating the buildings and spaces that will fuel the next 100 years.
What emerging trends will drive investment and development in 2023?
The demand for more sustainable building is set to continue—and increase—well into 2023. Owners understand the importance of prioritizing green approaches for their projects, so it’s why we’re partnering upfront during pre-construction to ensure we’re sourcing the right materials, reducing embedded carbon, and prioritizing inhabitants’ wellness. We recently completed HMTX’s World Headquarters—which is now among the greenest in the state of Connecticut by pursuing the Living Building Challenge. The structure was constructed to be energy positive by generating more energy than it uses and producing zero carbon emissions. Similarly in Boston, sustainability was central to our recently completed historic overhaul of City Hall Plaza—with green infrastructure that includes permeable surfaces to soak up stormwater.

Do you love the idea of having a formal living room in your home, but you are worried about the comfort of your family? Some people mistakenly think that they have to choose between formal style and comfort. But, there are a few strategies that can be used to upgrade the appearance of the room and maintain the comfort of your living room at the same time.
Modernize Your Style
One of the biggest mistakes that you can make is having a formal living room with outdated furniture. When people visit your home, the living room is often one of the first areas that they will see when they walk in the door. Outdated furniture will make your home look old and neglected!
Often, the formal living room furniture is in good condition. Homeowners don’t use the room regularly in their everyday activities. As a result, the furniture doesn’t get scratched or worn from daily use. Even if the furniture is still functional and solid, you aren’t doing yourself any favors by maintaining an outdated room.
Look at current trends and make sure that your furniture is designed to match. In some situations, you can simply hire someone to put new fabric on the couches, giving the room a modern, retro style. In other situations, it might be best to get rid of the old furniture and start fresh instead.
Open Up the Living Space
It is common for homeowners to make the mistake of putting too much furniture in one room. If the formal living room is a small space, then you might not have enough room to position a piano and a full couch set. Make sure that the room maintains the function, but consider getting rid of a few furniture pieces to open up the floor space in the room.
Another common pitfall is for the formal living room to be bare. Since you aren’t spending a lot of time in this room, have you failed to put in the effort to add the finishing touches? Two plain couches aren’t enough to make the room look inviting and welcoming.
If the furniture is lacking, you might be able to add style to the room with accessories. Find a nice area rug that will add color and depth to the room. Consider placing lights in the dark corners, adding fresh greenery, or hanging some modern art pieces on the walls.
Consider the Needs of Your Family
As you are preparing to redesign your formal living room, it is important also to consider the needs of your family. It is possible to find stylish furniture that can be durable, allowing you to feel comfortable using the room more often. Just because you are designing a formal living, doesn’t necessarily mean that you won’t start using the room in the future!

The Ottawa Citizen by Don Butler 10 December 2013
(Article profiling IO Grad Liz Sheehy)
Battered women are morally entitled to kill their abusive partners, even those who are passed out or asleep, says a respected University of Ottawa law professor.
Elizabeth Sheehy raises the provocative idea in her new book, eight years in the making, called Defending Battered Women on Trial. It will be published Dec. 15 by UBC Press.
“Why should women live in anticipatory dread and hypervigilence?” she writes in the book’s concluding chapter. Would it not be just, Sheehy asks, “to shift the risk of death to those men whose aggressions have created such dehumanizing fear in their female partners?”
In an interview with the Citizen, Sheehy — who received a prestigious award from the Canadian Bar Association for her scholarship on women and the law this summer — answered that question in the affirmative.
Battered women can justly kill abusive partners “because a woman in that circumstance has already lived in captivity,” she said. “She’s already lived in a form of imprisonment and enslavement in a relationship like that.”
Sheehy likened women in abusive relationships to prisoners of war. “We would never say of a prisoner of war that it’s not just that she or he kill their captor to escape. It is just to kill to escape that kind of enslavement.”
While the legal system sometimes excuses battered women who kill abusive partners by accepting a verdict of manslaughter on compassionate grounds, that does not go far enough, Sheehy argues. “We should say you were right to kill to save your own life.”
Sheehy’s book, which is written for a general audience, is built around the trials of 11 battered women, 10 of whom killed their partners. She draws heavily on trial transcripts to examine the evidence and the legal strategies of the defence lawyers.
To select those 11 trials, Sheehy studied 91 cases of battered women who killed their partners between 1990, when the Supreme Court of Canada recognized “battered women syndrome” as a legal defence, and 2005. In all of those cases, she writes, self-defence was at least arguable.
Sixty-two were ultimately convicted of some form of homicide — 49 pleaded guilty to manslaughter — and the other 29 were either acquitted or spared a trial.
Sheehy was pleasantly surprised by the higher-than-expected number who were either acquitted or had charges dropped. But she said it was “disappointing and worrisome” to see how many women had pleaded guilty.
One reason is the mandatory life sentence for murder, with no parole eligibility for 25 years for first degree murder and 10 years for second degree murder, said Sheehy. Mandatory minimums are a “huge, huge barrier” to justice for battered women who kill their abusers, she said.
In particular, they are “an incredible threat” for women with children. “It puts them in the position of having to plead guilty (to manslaughter) to avoid the spectre of such a terrible sentence,” she said, even though many have some basis for arguing self-defence.
To remedy that, Sheehy argues there should be a “statutory escape hatch” that allows battered women charged with murder to escape mandatory minimum sentences.
Moreover, prosecutors should charge battered women who kill their abusers with manslaughter rather than murder, she said, to give them a chance to argue self-defence “without bearing the onerous consequences of failure.”
Charging battered women with murder is “so arbitrary when you know that there’s no other way that a woman can spontaneously defend her life,” Sheehy said.
“Men can kill women with their bare hands, and they do. Women almost never kill men that way. They can’t,” she said.
While very few women kill abusive men who are asleep or passed out, it’s “unfair” to charge them with first degree murder, Sheehy argues. “It’s not fair to characterize it as the most heinous form of murder, because it may be their own route to survival.”
Battered women’s “moral courage,” Sheehy writes in her book, “deserves our respect.
“When women kill to save their own lives, they assert that they matter, that their lives count — even more than the lives of their abusers.”
After all their abusers have done to them, “they have somehow taken a stand for their own humanity and saved themselves,” she writes. “And for this we should also be grateful.”

Quizzes, lessons and talks with guest Olympic and Paralympic athletes inspire students to learn more about the Tokyo 2020 Torch Relay
Second year students from Watanoha Lower Secondary School in Miyagi Prefecture had the opportunity to discover more about the Tokyo 2020 Torch Relay with a special visit from guest athletes Paralympian Taguchi Aki and Olympian Chiba Masako.
A series of quizzes were held and a lecture followed where students learned about the history and significance of the Torch Relay, sparking animated group discussions.
As part of Tokyo 2020 Education Programme, the Torch Relay class enables and encourages students to deepen their interest in the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020.
I might even try to take part in it myself!
Students who answered the quizzes correctly won the chance to hold the Tokyo 2020 Torch. One student said: "It's much heavier than I thought", while another said: "It's surprisingly light." Another student was particularly impressed by the cherry blossom motif of the Torch.
Kamada Masaki, another student said, "I've always been interested in the Olympics and Paralympics, but I didn't know very much about the Torch Relay. Now that I've got an interest in that too, I'll be able to view it in a different light. I might even try to take part in it myself!”
Speaking about the Torch being partly produced from materials recycled after use in the construction of temporary accommodation units in the aftermath of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster, Nakasato Ouka said: "I lived in temporary housing for a while too, so I was happy to see the torch being made of discarded materials from various places as an expression of the reconstruction of the area."
Inspiring students to achieve their personal best
Taguchi Aki and Chiba Masako gave messages of encouragement to the students based on their own experiences.
Taguchi, who competed in Paralympic shooting at the Athens 2004, Beijing 2008 and London 2012 Paralympic Games, explained her story to the students:
"I was confined to a wheelchair after I suffered an illness at the age of 25, but thanks to a friend I discovered shooting and was able to compete at three editions of the Paralympic Games. When I was in second year lower secondary school student, I didn't have any particular dreams or ambitions.
"But even if you don't have any major goals right now, if you keep studying hard, listen to your teachers and parents, and try your best, then eventually you will be able to accomplish things. You might even get the opportunity to compete in the Olympics or Paralympics."
Long-distance runner Chiba, who placed fifth in the women's 10,000 metres at the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games, then addressed the students: "When I was your age, I didn't like myself very much. I had no self-confidence at all. But one day, I was invited to run in a long-distance relay race, and this became a turning point in my life."
"Sometimes even the smallest of things can have a major impact on your life. If anybody here wants to accomplish something in the future, I think you should be proactive and take part in the Torch Relay. You never know, it might just lead to all sorts of opportunities in the future."
In another class session with the guest athletes, the students also had the chance to ponder what qualities are needed to become good Torchbearers.
Each of the students gave much thought to their answers and drew up a profile of the ideal type of person to act as a torchbearer.
Answers included: "Kind and enthusiastic people who see their task through to the very end" and "people with a high degree of common sense who are fair and never give up."
"It would be fantastic if those people were to serve as torchbearers," both Taguchi and Chiba agreed.
One of the conditions for becoming a torchbearer is that applicants must be born on or before 1 April 2008. Tokyo 2020 very much hope that the special lesson served to deepen the interest of the students of Watanoha Lower Secondary School in the Olympic Torch Relay and also get inspired by the Tokyo 2020 Games, which can play a significant part in their future personal growth.

Nigeria, Ghana seek infrastructure development through nuclear energy
• NESREA partners NNRA on monitoring of pollutants
Chairman of the Nigerian Atomic Energy Commission (NIGATOM), Professor Simon P. Mallam and Director General of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC), Professor Benjamin Nyarko, have said the African region needed to focus on infrastructure development through clean nuclear energy.
They stated this at the 10th international ATOMEXPO Forum in Sochi, Russia, with the theme: Global Partnership- Joint Success.
Praising nuclear energy as the way forward, Nyarko revealed that they have converted from highly enriched uranium to low enriched uranium with the process that would cost about $20 million.
Mallam pointed out that both countries were still using research reactor, adding that it was their desire to add to the research reactor as soon as possible, as this would enable them to undertake groundbreaking research in advanced capacities.
Nigeria has been trying to include nuclear power in its energy mix for a while now to meet the increasing demand for electricity and support its economic development and has been developing its nuclear power infrastructure for several years, with plans to fully introduce nuclear power by 2024.
While revealing that 1.2 billion people still do not have access to energy while 2.7 million people rely on biomass as a source of energy, Africa accounting for over half the figure, Andrii Gritsevskyi of the Department of Nuclear Energy, International Atomic Energy Academy (IAEA), added that two million deaths occur yearly due to air pollution.
Quoting a 2016 report, he said coal (38per cent), natural gas (23 per cent) and hydro (17 per cent) still make up most of the world’s energy sources, insisting that these need to change while more countries need to switch to green nuclear energy.
Admitting that most of the resistance to nuclear energy stemmed from misinformation and rumours, Jeremy Gordon, an advisor with the World Nuclear Association (WNA) said the world needed clean nuclear power and there is an urgent need to create an effective safety paradigm to bolster communal support and acceptance.
Director General of the State Atomic Energy Corporation ROSATOM; Aleksei Likhachev, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Yukiya Amano and Director General, OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA), William D. Magwood IV, among others, are attending the forum.
Meanwhile, the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) and Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NNRA) have entered into partnership to monitor dangerous substances being released into the environment.
The partnership would ensure effective policing and development of appropriate environmental management tools to curb air pollution, especially radionuclides, which occurred in some cities recently.
Director General of NESREA, Dr. Lawrence Anukam, who spoke during a visit to NNRA, said there was the need for the two agencies to work together to implement regulations.
He called for teamwork for adequate environmental monitoring as contained in National Environmental (Energy Sector) Regulations and to conduct Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) compliance.
Responding, Director General of NNRA, Prof. Lawrence Dim Anikwe, commended NESREA for bringing both agencies together to ensure safe and healthy environment for Nigerians.

“All I wanted as a mom was to fix it. What can I do to fix it? And there was nothing I could do,” the former Bravo star said in the joint interview.
“Once she hit 18, it was becoming harder. I wanted to fix it. She wanted to be left alone. There was definitely a power struggle, I would say. [She] wanted to do it [her] way, I wanted to do it my way,” Braunwyn said.
Rowan shared that while she initially resisted her mother’s help, she now has a better understanding of her feelings.
“When you’re a parent and you see a kid who hasn’t eaten for, like, 30 days, is 25 pounds underweight than they should [be], literally on the brink of death, and can’t even eat a single vegetable, that’s scary,” Rowan told the outlet.
Braunwyn and her daughter admitted that they sometimes engaged in explosive verbal fights over food, and referenced one particular exchange that spilled over into social media. Rowan explained that her mom’s plea that she “eat a f—king vegetable,” haunted her into her high school years.
“It was her first time dealing with this,” explained Rowan. “So, obviously [she] didn’t know how to deal with it; I didn’t know how to deal with it.”
Braunwyn became emotional during the conversation about her daughter’s battle with body image.
“I was so afraid we were going to lose her. She was so close to dying,” the Bravo alum said of the daughter she shares with ex-husband, Sean Burke.
Braunwyn revealed that the former competitive dancer would skip meals and exercise for four hours day at the height of her illness.
“I remember begging her to eat this carrot, holding her baby sister who’d just been born, saying, ‘Please eat this for her.’ In her mind, I kicked her out of the house,” Braunwyn recalled.
“In my mind, I sent her [to spend the night away] with Sean because I was so afraid that she wasn’t going to wake up — and I didn’t want her little brothers and sisters to find her [in that state].”
Rowan shared that she believed that she “would have died” if she had not been pushed into treatment, only days later.
“When you’re in the mindset that I was in, being sent away to treatment is the worst thing that can possibly happen to you,” she explained. “But it was actually something that was completely needed.”
Rowan lives in West Hollywood and her mother splits her time between Orange County and NYC, where her girlfriend, Victoria Brito, lives.
“I feel like, with everything that you’ve been through and everything that I’ve been through and the amount of self-growth and development that we’ve both been doing, you’re able to understand me a lot more than you ever have,” Rowan said directly to her mother.
“I’m also able to understand you the most, the most out of everybody in the family because we’re the most similar.”
Braunwyn, who came out as a lesbian during her stint on “Housewives,” inspired Rowan to come out as pansexual. The unique connection has encouraged Braunwyn to share more about her own past issues with her daughter.
“Some of [the stories] are about my sexuality. Some of them are about my own battles with food,” she says. “[Rowan] didn’t realize that I had struggled with a lot of the same things that she did. Although I’ve been open about other parts of my personality, like my addiction with alcohol, my relationship with food was actually the one I had the most shame around and I never shared that.”
Rowan shared that while her current relationship with food is always changing, her overall heath is in a much better place.
“I don’t think that there is a ‘fully recovered’ when it comes to these types of things because it is an everyday battle and struggle,” she said.
“But I definitely am the best that I have been since it started, 100 percent. I am the best and the healthiest, not just physically but mentally, that I have been since I was 15.”

PASCAGOULA, Mississippi -- After five years, multiple trial postponements, a mistrial and a mental evaluation, a former Ocean Springs school bus driver was sentenced Wednesday to 30 years in state prison for the 2014 sexual abuse of a then 8-year-old girl who was a rider on his bus.
A Jackson County jury deliberated for five hours before finding 69-year-old Sergio Eduardo Sandoval guilty on two counts of touching a child for lustful purposes and one count of sexual battery.
Judge Kathy King Jackson sentenced Sandoval to 30 years on the sexual battery charge and 15 years for the lustful touching charges. The sentences will run concurrent without the possibility of parole.
King also imposed fines totaling $5,500. Sandoval was acquitted on two charges of lustful touching of a child.
“In all of my years of prosecuting child sexual assault cases, I have never encountered a predator so brazen or bold," said district attorney Angel Myers McIlrath. “This defendant sexually assaulted an 8-year-old girl all while driving a school bus full of children around Ocean Springs.”
On Oct. 8, 2014, Sandoval was arrested at his Ocean Springs home after the victim’s parents filed a complaint. Initially charged with one count of lustful touching of a child, further investigation resulted in an additional 31 counts being levied against him.
The crimes took place in September and October of 2014.
Sandoval had driven an Ocean Springs school bus for nine years. After reviewing surveillance video from his bus, he was immediately terminated.
Ultimately, a Jackson County Grand Jury would indict Sandoval on four counts of lustful touching of a child and one count of sexual battery.
Sandoval had been scheduled for trial multiple times and his first trial in 2017 ended in a mistrial after he fainted during a court break and had to be taken to Singing River Hospital.
At that time, Jackson ordered Sandoval to undergo a mental evaluation. After an initial evaluation, it was recommended he be sent to the state hospital in Whitfield for additional testing.
In an October competency hearing, two expert witnesses testified Sandoval was competent to stand trial, and Jackson agreed, ordering the case to proceed to trial.
The victim, now 13, was a second grader at Oak Park Elementary at the time she was victimized by Sandoval. She testified during the trial; Sandoval did not.
“He wasn’t counting on his victim being brave enough to stand up to him at trial," McIlrath said. "Because of Judge Jackson’s 30-year day-for-day sentence, this defendant will never be free to hurt another child.”
“One of the most important roles we have in the Office of the District Attorney is to protect children,” added assistant DA Justin Lovorn. “Children in our community are safer because of the justice delivered today.”
The Ocean Springs Police Department investigated the case. Lovorn also credited the Ocean Springs School District for its cooperation during the investigation.

Goodbye iPhones and Facebook feed. Hello power plants and bleach.
Since stocks began tumbling two months ago, investors haven't abandoned the market. At least, not all of it. In recent weeks, as they've pulled money out of funds that invest in go-go technology companies, they've also been buying utilities, companies that make everyday necessities for consumers and other stocks that tend to have smaller swings in price than the rest of the market.
It's part of a big shift in investor behavior as fears about rising interest rates, a global trade war and slowing economic growth around the world have roiled markets. The S&P 500 plunged as much as 2.2 percent Tuesday, with technology stocks again suffering particularly sharp losses, and the index has lost nearly 10 percent since setting its record on Sept. 20.
Technology stocks' fall marks a big turnaround from earlier this year, and from much of the bull market that began nearly a decade ago. After leading the market higher on the backs of their strong profit growth, Facebook and other big-name tech companies have recently stumbled on concerns that increased government regulation will dent their profits, on top of all the other concerns dragging on the rest of the market.
Apple has slumped particularly hard on fears that its newest crop of iPhones isn't as popular as expected after phone-part suppliers gave discouraging forecasts. Apple has plunged 19.6 percent since the S&P 500 set its record two months ago, nearly double the loss of the index. Amazon, the third-most valuable U.S. company after Apple and Microsoft, has fallen 23.1 percent over the same time, during which it gave a forecast for revenue growth this holiday season that fell short of Wall Street's high expectations.
After their years of eye-popping returns, those stocks had become some of the most popular to own among hedge funds, mutual funds and other investors. But just as they bought the stocks together on the way up, investors are now heading for the exits en masse as well.
"There's no doubt that tech companies are widely owned, people have made a lot of money on them and we're finally seeing for the first time where the rotation is having some legs," said Nate Thooft, senior portfolio manager at Manulife Asset Management. "They're selling the winners and redeploying the money somewhere else."
U.S. & World
For now, at least, that somewhere else has been areas of the stock market seen as holding steadier during economic downturns. Last week, for example, investors plowed $1.47 billion into exchange-traded funds that focus on utility stocks. The thinking is that utilities' customers will continue to turn on their lights and buy power regardless of how many tariffs get placed on Chinese goods.
Utility stocks have not only held up better than the rest of the market in recent weeks, they've been among the few areas to thrive. Shares of Duke Energy, Xcel Energy and American Electric Power have all climbed more than 9 percent since the S&P 500 began its downturn after Sept. 20.
Besides utilities, investors have also been putting money into real-estate stocks and companies that make everyday items for consumers, such as Church & Dwight. The maker of Arm & Hammer baking soda and Oxiclean stain fighters has climbed 8 percent over the last two months. Clorox, which last month reported stronger profit than analysts expected, is up 5.6 percent.
All these companies are common fodder for "low-volatility" ETFs that have surged in popularity in recent weeks as investors seek out stocks that have historically had smaller price swings than the rest of the market. Last week, $1.3 billion went into "low-volatility" ETFs.
At the same time, nearly $500 million left technology stock ETFs. It's a huge about-face in interest. As recently as two months ago, these ETFs had attracted $8 billion in net investment for 2018. But subsequent waves of selling mean they're now down to $525.9 million in net investment for the year, according to Jefferies.
"These things had outperformed the S&P by a mile over the last three years," said Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide Investment Management. But that's changed now. "On good days they're not the leaders, and on bad days they're the laggards."

Today is polling day and I want to encourage everyone to get out to vote and support your local Conservative candidate. I have spent a lot of time over the last few weeks knocking on doors talking to local residents ahead of election today. Now it’s here - don’t forget to vote. Polls are open now until 10pm.
We have also reached an incredible milestone of 50 million vaccines across the whole of the UK which is an incredible achievement and reflects the hard work of the NHS as well as the willingness of people to protect the vulnerable and tackle this pandemic head on. I have been incredibly impressed by the take-up in the constituency, with over 75,000 doses of vaccine administered to constituents since the rollout began. All residents aged 40 or over are now able to book an appointment and you can do so through the NHS website ([link removed]) . One jab at a time, we will overcome this virus and return to normal as soon as possible.
In the last few weeks, I have been focused on supporting the return of shops and businesses as they reopen in line with the roadmap out of lockdown and I recently wrote to the Leader of Wiltshire Council to use the Government’s Welcome Back Fund to support our high streets in Chippenham, Corsham, Melksham and Bradford on Avon. We are a fortnight away from the next step along the roadmap and I want to make sure local businesses have everything they need to reopen successfully, minimise the risk of transmission for customers and employees alike and ultimately bounce back from this pandemic as best they can.
Knocking on doors with Jacqui Crundell for Melksham South - lots of people heading out to vote for her this afternoon. Jacqui is a fantastic local candidate having served in the armed forces, worked in Melksham schools and now works in adult social care.
Out knocking on doors with Pam Hyde for Holt, Staverton & Atworth. Don’t forget to vote for Pam she is such a determined and diligent candidate.

Voices: What Italians think of Matteo Renzi
Italy's President Giorgio Napolitano has asked Matteo Renzi, the mayor of Florence, to form a new government.
Enrico Letta resigned as prime minister on Friday, after he was ousted in a vote called by Mr Renzi at a meeting of their centre-left Democratic Party.
Here Italians give their views on the man set to become their new prime minister.
Samuela Settimo, 41, School Teacher, Padua, Italy
I voted for Renzi in the last Democratic Party election because he has innovative ideas about reform (for example, reform of the Senate). Renzi seems to have practical solutions to real problems.
He seems daring and determined, with the energy to drive through difficult plans that other Italian politicians would forget about as soon an election was over.
Italy needed a change but in spite of this I was disappointed to see Renzi rise in a non-democratic way. I know that parliament had made every effort to block his electoral reform proposals and that an election was still a long way away, but I'm worried that these events won't necessarily produce the expected effect.
Does Renzi have enough support in such a badly composed parliament to reform the country? I don't think so. Renzi also has many opponents in his own party and I don't think this government will last very long.
All I can do now is wish him good luck!
Elia Rota, 20, University Student, Bergamo, Italy
Mr Renzi is in my opinion a young, ambitious man who can represent a huge number of people in the country and this is why he is the future of the Italian politics, along with [Beppe Grillo's Five Star movement] M5S. They have lots of ideas in common, but he collaborates with Berlusconi and represents only the progressive politicians in the Democratic Party.
He's an innovator, therefore he's expected to change bureaucracy, make a Job Act and make the reforms that are needed in Italy.
However, if he was elected by the country and not by the president of Italy he wouldn't lose the credibility that he had: he is now behaving like an old Italian politician and this isn't what Italians want him to do.
He needs to show us that he can do something, he needs to collaborate with the M5S and stop working with Napolitano: it actually seems that Napolitano is the real Italian PM.
Nicola Kopij Zanin, 17, Student, Padova, Italy
I don't believe in Matteo Renzi as prime minister because he hasn't given solutions to the main Italian problems of public debt, extremely high taxes and justice, which is slow and inefficient.
We need a serious programme of action - big and fast - not policies in just a few areas.
All European governments (except for France) are run by centre-right parties and EU economies facing crisis are getting better: it's not the moment for socialist leaders to take over and propose reforms that will damage Italy and Europe.
Italians don't want the elderly, career politicians, they want people who are young and fresh but they also need politicians who are prepared! Renzi is young, fresh and full of ideas - but not the correct ones in my opinion. And I don't think he has enough experience to be a success.
His plans are opposed by the centre-right parties so I don't think this government will last. I think it will fold by May then hopefully we can have new elections.
This is the third government that isn't the product of an election after [Mario] Monti's and Letta's. It would be better if we were to go to new elections.
Paolo Buscaglia, 48, Industrial Consultant, Palermo, Italy
Renzi has been given a gift that he does not deserve.
Carefully listening to his speeches, it is clear that the old politics has come back to life with a new, young face. He's a fascinating character.
He was the loudest voice in the Democratic Party condemning Berlusconi's conduct but has since legitimated Berlusconi again by recognising him as the only valid interlocutor to talk about the new electoral law. The astonished voters will remember that.
Renzi disappointed many by getting the job of prime minister directly from the hands of the Italian President Napolitano. They won't mind if his reforms help the country and its economy but unfortunately Italy's economic renaissance is still far away.
Renzi has said a lot but not too much about solving the economic crisis. It's difficult to comment on his vision for the economy as set out in a two-page document called the "The Job Act".

Carrefour implements blockchain as part of supply chain transformation
Carrefour has launched what it's calling 'Europe's first food blockchain' in a transformational move for its supply chain.
The French retailer is to introduce blockchain technology to eight of its product lines by the end of 2018 after a successful implementation for its free-range Carrefour Quality Line Auvergne chickens.
Its system offers consumers full traceability on the products, fulfilling the demand for transparency and giving breeders a means to showcase their expertise.
In January Carrefour revealed 'Carrefour 2022', its highly-anticipated transformation plan for the next four years centred around a huge investment in its digital presence and the slashing of other costs.
“To become the leader of the food transition for everyone is the aim that Alexandre Bompard (CEO) has set for the Carrefour group,” said Laurent Vallée, Carrefour's general secretary and head of quality and food safety.
“Making use of blockchain technology is an exemplary step in meeting this aim. This is a first in Europe and will provide consumers with guaranteed complete transparency as far as the traceability of our products is concerned.”

The first circuit shows a single LED using 110VAC. I used this circuit to detect if voltaje is present at the AC outlet. A reversed diode is needed because the LED have a limit on reversed voltage. The second circuit labeled as "Night light" is basically the same circuit but it uses two LEDs. I use it to create a soft light in my room and walls to avoid accidents when I walk around the house during the night. By the way: I don't walk sleeping. Also, it can be used to know if an unknown voltage is AC or DC. AC voltages will lit both LEDs. The third circuit is used in my power supply so I can detect when I need another fuse. The last circuit, the "LED light" is an experiment to illuminate my room with LEDs instead of fluorescent light or light bulbs. It works fine as a 13 watts fluorescent light but the light emitted is not even. Anyway, it is perfect to save electricity.
