winter. Such winters happen in this region once in 25…30 years and they are characterized by
late autumn frosts, maximum frosts in the middle of winter, abrupt and gradual frosts after
thaw in late winter. Plum yield capacity is in no small measure determined by the
sustainability of its flower buds to frosts, or their winter hardiness according to the
components: 1, 2, 3 and 4. This article presents an assessment of flower bud hardiness of
different types of plums by components 2, 3 and 4, the identification of the most winter-hardy
varieties according to these components has become the main of this article.

varietal peculiarities of biochemical compound accumulation were evaluated relative to the
dates of fruit ripening. The fruit biochemical composition data were used for selecting
varieties for breeding purposes and for practical use. In the group of early-ripening ones, such
varieties as Zarechnaya Rannyaya, Kressu, Polli Varane, Renclod Pavlovsky, Sverkhrannaya
and Startovaya were identified. The least variation in a chemical component content (V) was
observed in Polli Varane, RenclodPavlovsky and Startovaya. The varieties identified in the
group of mid-ripening plums included Ave, Amitar, Norgen, Garmonia, Renclod Urozhainy,
Sizy Golubok, Skorospelka Novaya and Experimentalor. A weak variation in the chemical
component content was observed in SizyGolubok, Skorospelka Novaya and Nagrada. The
varieties identified in the group of medium-late plums included Kosmos, Luzhskaya Krasnaya,
Korneevskaya 83, Pamyat Khasanova, Renclod Tenkovsky, Kantemirovskaya, Vicana and
Vilnor. The least variation in the chemical component composition was observed in
Azhanskaya from Ogre, Vikana, Kantemirovskaya, Luzhskaya Krasnaya and Renklod
Tenkovsky. The selected late-ripening varieties included Porosl from Ostashkov,
Experimentalstetter and Solotovskaya Pozdnyaya. A weak variation in the chemical
component content was observed in Solotovskaya Pozdnyaya, Tulskaya Chernaya and

species (P. anomala, P. hybrida, P. tenuifolia, P. lactiflora) and 2 hybrid varieties of peony (Jeanna d’Arc, Mustai Karim); genus Hosta - 5 species (H. lancifolia, H. undulata, H. sieboldiana,
H. fortunei, H. glauca var. aurea); genus Iris - 2 species (I. sibirica, I. carthaliniae) and 9 hybrid
varieties of iris (Arginnis, Beethoven, Victor Hugo, Hector, Delilah, Deputy Namblo, Iris King,
Mystic, Rialgar) in the phase of maturing have been used as subjects of the research. It is
shown that the given preparation in most cases increases the habit of plants and their seed
production. Plants of hosta occurred to be the most responsive to Biodux treatment.
When treating plants with the growth regulator, maximum values of examined
parameters have been obtained in comparison with controls and other crops. Irises occurred
to be the least susceptible cultures.

Ionic electro-active polymers (EAPs) are promising materials for production of fibre and textile linear actuators for active and haptic clothing. One approach to production is the electrodepositon of polypyrrole on a conducting fibre substrate. Synthesis conditions, geometric parameters and cycling conditions are known to impact the actuation of these films and require tuning to achieve optimum performance. Remarkably, we have observed that film thickness can be tuned to determine the type of actuation mechanism displayed. This behaviour is a consequence of changes in the structure of the polymer with film thickness. Changes in doping levels, effective conjugation coordinate, density, and porosity of the films with thickness, will be used to explain the observed behaviour. This behaviour has potential for exploitation for practical applications. It is vital that engineers are aware of these issues when designing EAP actuators with predictable and stable behaviour.

E-cigarette users in two counties in Kentucky have had enough of Health Departments deciding to include e-cigarettes in indoor smoking bans.
In Bullitt County a law suit has been filed:
Inclusion of E-cigarette in smoking ban has some users feeling burned
By David Williams
But users of e-cigarettes are plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the Bullitt County Board of Health. Some, like Tony Thompson who has used e-cigarettes for six months, tell me they feel burned by the new rules.
"There's a little red light on the end here that lights up so it looks like a cigarette," Thompson said as he showed his e-cigarette. "It gives you the feel of a cigarette, but, again there's no second hand smoke. The only thing that you're inhaling is water vapor."
Second hand smoke is one of the reasons the Bullitt County Board of Health voted to ban smoking in public places, a ban that includes e-cigarettes.
The FDA has raised concerns over the device including a possible increase in addiction among children along with the device's possible toxic ingredients.
"Second hand smoke is a known carcinogen," said Cynthia Brown, with the Bullitt County Health Department. "The EPA has classified it as such, so we're trying to protect the public from this known hazard."
Thompson is part of a lawsuit against the Board of Health over its proposed smoking regulation.

And in Madison County attendees at the Board of Health meeting indicated their displeasure:
"You sorry people can't run Madison County by yourself," one woman said on her way out of the meeting. "I thought the board of health was supposed to educate, not legislate."
The board had just voted 8-1 to include devices known as e-cigarettes in it regulations that ban smoking in indoor public places.
"Hold on," one man called out, when the board moved on to the next item on its agenda. "We'd like to speak. We thought this was America."

How Far Can An Arrow Travel
What is the longest distance an arrow has been shot?
The farthest exact shot in archery under Globe Archery problems is 283.47 m (930.04 feet), achieved by Matt Stutzman (U.S.A.) at the TPC Craig Ranch, McKinney, Texas, U.S.A. on 9 December 2015.
How far can an arrow travel from a compound bow?
An “reliable array” of a substance bow is generally within 30 to 60 backyards. It can rise to 1000 feet via the optimum taped range chance at a point is 930.04 feet. Much more or much less, the archers choose to fire within the effective range.
How far can a medieval bow shoot?
Couple of middle ages tools of the projectile-firing (or, instead, loosing) selection have achieved as much popularity as the English longbow. A six-foot bow made from yew timber, the English longbow had a draw weight of between 80 and also 150 pounds, an efficient variety of approximately 350 backyards.
How fast can an arrow go?
The faster an arrowhead takes a trip, the flatter the trip trajectory as well as less deviation from wind. Recurve bow arrowheads can travel up to 225 feet per 2nd (fps) or 150mph while substance bow arrows can travel as much as 300fps (200mph). Longbow arrows take a trip slower as a result of the weight of the arrowheads.
How far can Archers shoot?
Archers shoot over distances of up to 90 metres, although the conventional competition ranges are 70 metres (for recurve) and 50 metres (for substance), usually at the recognisable five-colour target, being composed of 10 scoring zones and gold, red, blue, black as well as white rings.
How will an arrow shot horizontally move?
Response: The archer fires an arrowhead by stretching the bowstring with muscular pressure. When the string is released, it changes to its previous setting, offering the preliminary force that drives the arrow horizontally.
How fast does a 70 lb bow shoot?
If you are making use of a 70 pounds. draw weight, your compound bow would have a 270 FPS. As well as if your draw size is without a doubt 30 ″ (as it is throughout IBO screening), this number would be closer to 290 FPS.
What bow shoots the farthest?
The current record with an English longbow is 412.82 m, shot by Jószef Mónus from Hungary in 2017, while Ivar Malde from Norway attained 566.83 m with a Turkish composite bow in 2019.
How far did archers shoot in war?
long. A qualified archer can fire 12 arrowheads a min, yet some resources claim that the most competent archers can fire two times this number. The arrow might wound at 250 yards, eliminate at 100 lawns and permeate armor at 60 backyards. At the fight of Agincourt in 1415, 1,000 arrowheads were terminated every second.
How far can a Mongolian bow shoot?
Extensively, Mongolian archery devices used from horseback or standing is the exact same– just the clothing was various. The bows might soar to 500 meters and also a Mongolian archer might supposedly not just hit a running fox while giving chase, yet might call which vertebrae he would strike.

St. George Killing the Dragon Art
: Bernat Martorell : (1434 - 1435)
Perhaps my favorite piece in the whole museum is the absolutely stunning; St. George Killing the Dragon by Bernat Martorell. Just amazing, and almost 3 dimensional due to some unusual painting techniques.
Hey, it’s violent, just like TV. But also beautiful, and with a real story behind the violence. So, not like TV.
Type: Tempera on panel
DImensions: 155.6 x 98.1 cm (61 1/4 x 38 5/8 in.)
On display at The Art Institute of Chicago
SummaryIn the second quarter of the 15th century, Bernat Martorell was the leading painter of Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia in northeastern Spain. Saint George was the patron saint of Catalonia, and Martorell’s vivid painting probably once formed the center of the altarpiece of the chapel of the Catalan government in its palace in Barcelona. The central image would have been flanked by smaller narrative panels, now in the Musée du Louvre, Paris; they illustrate the martyrdom of the saint in gruesome detail.

With the emergence of the semantic web, effective knowledge representation has gained importance. Statistically generated semantic networks are simple representations whose semantic power is yet to be completely explored. Though, these semantic networks are created with simple statistical measures without much overhead, they have the potential to express the semantic relationship between concepts. In this paper, we explore the capability of such networks and enhance them with concept hierarchies to serve as better knowledge representations. The concept hierarchies are built based on the level of importance of concepts. The level of importance/coverage of a concept within the given set of documents has to be taken into account to build an effective knowledge representation. In this paper, we provide a domain-independent, graph based approach for identifying the level of importance of each concept from the statistically generated semantic network which represents the entire document set. Insights about the depth of every concept is obtained by analysing the graph theoretical properties of the statistically generated semantic network. A generic concept hierarchy is created using a greedy strategy, and the original semantic network is reinforced with this concept hierarchy. Experiments over different data sets demonstrate that our approach works effectively in classifying concepts and generating taxonomies based on it, thereby effectively enhancing the semantic network. © 2015 IEEE.

C Comptroller of the Currency Robert L. Clarke Wednesday refused to release the names of Bank of New England insiders who received loans from the failed bank, saying customers have a right to privacy.
Clarke did note that his office is investigating four possible violations of a federal regulation in which insiders may have received unusually favorable terms.
Once the investigation is complete, he said, his office will disclose those findings.
Clarke detailed his position in a two-page letter to Sen. Timothy E. Wirth, D-Colo., on the eve of what are expected to be volatile Senate Banking Committee hearings on his confirmation for another five-year term.
"He's in trouble," Sen. Christopher J. Dodd, D-Conn., said of Clarke. Dodd and others Wednesday offered a new issue they will raise before the embattled comptroller: New England's credit crunch.
"You're getting this rigid sort of police action that makes it impossible to open up credit windows," said Dodd, a member of the banking committee.
Dodd and others have been frustrated for more than a year and a half by the credit problem. They have repeatedly met with federal officials, including Clarke, and often been assured that regulators were not being too tough with lending institutions.
New England lawmakers Wednesday assailed the comptroller's actions, which they said intimidate banks and prevent them from making many commercial loans.
Rep. Nancy L. Johnson, R-6th District, a longtime Clarke critic, said she wanted today's hearing to inquire into what the comptroller considers an acceptable loan.
"The banking community doesn't know what regulators will see as a good loan," she said.
Dodd, Johnson, Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, D-Conn., and others said they will introduce legislation aimed at helping small businesses get more credit. The program, developed with the New England Council, the region's leading business group, would have
the Small Business Administration guarantee the purchase of stock in community banks.
Clarke today is likely to be grilled not only about credit problems, but also about what Congress' General Accounting Office considered lax regulation during the last six years of BNE. The bank was seized by the government in January.
In its detailed look at the comptroller's handling of the BNE case, the GAO found that as of May 1991, there was $300 million in outstanding loans to company insiders, defined as directors, officers, shareholders, or partnerships or corporations where insiders or relatives had an interest.
Another $30 million was listed as already written off as a loss to the company.
The GAO said losses from the insider loans could total another $155 million. However, the report stressed that those loans did not by themselves cause the fall of BNE.
Nevertheless, Wirth, a banking committee member, wanted to know who got the loans. Last week, he wrote to Clarke, formally requesting release of the names of the seven major borrowers involved, as well as the terms of the loans.
Clarke refused to give names or details.
"All bank customers have an established and reasonable right to expect that the privacy of their confidential financial affairs will be protected," Clarke said. "These rights would be violated by disclosure of their borrowing history and related financial information."

CSS Modules - pre-processing CSS and HTML to scope CSS locally by default.
From code like this:
To output like this:
Aiming to address CSS’s problems caused by the global inheritance when elements’ inherit parent styles. Another nice benefit is you spend a lot less time thinking about what to name classes.
Having used it on a couple of personal projects their are few reasons I have come across why I have not used it on a production project with other developers yet. This is using CSS Modules with webpack.
As you can see from the code example above, in order to help make the class names unique part of the name is a random string meaning you cannot rely on CSS class names for tests and web scraping.
Always keep part of the class name consistent
This point has little to do with CSS Modules itself, but is somewhat noteworthy in React/webpack land.
Some of the examples using CSS Modules with webpack use webpack’s
ExtractTextPlugin to output the processed CSS into a CSS file. This plugin is not compatible with another popular React/webpack setup - hot reloading https://github.com/css-modules/webpack-demo/issues/8 as hot reloading does not refresh CSS files.
Only use the ExtractTextPlugin in production. Seems to be the recommendation https://github.com/css-modules/webpack-demo/issues/8#issuecomment-135666122. The
style-loader does work with hot reloading.
Use a tool like BrowserSync to reload the CSS file https://github.com/gajus/react-css-modules#react-hot-module-replacement.
These examples use the
ExtractTextPlugin like a production build.
Webpack with CSS configuration is like so:
With SASS and autoprefixer it looks like this:
If the application is doing server rendering you need more config. The HTML needs to be output with the same dynamically generated class names as used by the client config. Therefore in the webpack config for the server bundle this is needed:
Really the issues are to do with config. It looks like minutes of work - but anyone working on React/webpack/babel projects knows that getting configurations working can take ages. And other developers may come along and go through the same learning by failure you did before understanding how it works. So you have to decide if the benefits are worth the extra configuration.
For developers inexperienced with writing maintainable CSS working on a long-lived project CSS Modules are definitely a consideration to minimise running into problems down the line.
For developers that know what they are doing with CSS, are used to schemes like BEM and SUIT and large-scale CSS architecture you may choose instead to continue with this in return for a simpler project setup.

NORTH MIAMI, Fla. – Middle school students across Miami-Dade County are embarking on a summer learning program to learn about STEM. It’s called the Verizon Innovative Learning Program — and it’s finally all in-person.
The program is a free, month-long extensive STEM program for about one hundred young students.
“We do robotics, 3D printing, programming,” says FIU After School Allstars Executive Director Sean Prospect.
“They’re working on getting these rovers coded to autonomously navigate around an obstacle course,” explains Tanjim Hossain, a math and science teacher.
Most of the students in the summer program hail from Carol City, West Miami, and Andover middle schools. Because of the pandemic, for many of these bright kids, this is the first in-classroom experience in a while.
“I missed the interactions that I could have in person with other people,” says Alex Nottage, a 10-year-old student.
Nottage is one of the youngest, who at 10, knows he wants to play sports and be an engineer.
“This would help me a lot with my engineering and my programming,” explains 10-year-old Nottage. “To me, that’s basically why me and my dad agreed to go here, because I want to learn how to program and make my own stuff.”
“They’re just coding robots,” says freshman Mya Bethel of North Miami High School.
The lack of person-to-person interaction, the online learning is arguably responsible for what many are calling the “COVID gap,” a pandemic-related academic setback for even the smartest kids, like those in this group.
“This is kind of like an introduction to the kind of things they’re going to want to be doing, not just in high school, but in college,” explains Hossain.
Yes, automation has taken over our world, and robots are replacing humans. However, Hossain says we need the younger generation to learn how to make it all run.
“At the end of the day, there has still got to be a human behind the robot,” says Hossain.

Remember gender and relationship columnist Cynthia Heimel.
Heimel, who died Sunday, is known for her humorous advice on village voices and playboy columns. It was first broadcast in 1991.
DAVE DAVIES, host:
This is fresh air. Cynthia hermel, a groundbreaking humorist, wrote about sex, romance and feminism, and died Sunday in Los Angeles. She is 70 years old. Her 1983 book, “sex tips,” started with a gender column for “playboy” and “village voice.” In a tribute to Sharon, Mary Elizabeth Williams wrote that hymel combined complex wit and sexual orientation and eventually spawned many successors. She says Heimel paved The way for Candace Bushnell’s Sex And The City column, which later appeared in The HBO series starring Sarah Jessica Parker.
She wrote a column called “But Enough About You” and a series called “chaos girl guide.” “If you can’t live, why don’t you die?” terry wrote to Cynthia helmer in 1991. The collection. They started reading her work, “Snow Job,” from Heimel, and solved the familiar plight of single people. How do you know if this is a real date when someone asks you out for dinner?
(archive broadcast archive)
CYNTHIA HEIMEL :(reading) from now on, I think we have to have new social behavior. From now on, we have to know if we’re on a real date. I can’t stand it. I can’t get more calls from men. What if we meet on Saturday night? And they really mean, if we go to a party, meet many of our friends, and then go out to eat, and then I go home together, and others that? Or if I take you to the strange little neighbor, tell you all the information I divorce, and I don’t have sex for the sake of, how did I think I will never deal with anyone again, and then ask your advice about how to get the waitress? Or, if we go to a nightclub, I’ll give you your job information,
I mean, if you call a date, don’t even know whether nervous, even can’t take the initial step, and ask yourself whether you like this person, whether you be attracted this person, whether or not you want to see the people do not have his clothes, because he may not be this meaning. He may want to be a friend. But he didn’t tell me. No, is now a modern people, so I must do this terrible psychological distortion, let my mind is completely blank, don’t expect anything, what all don’t want to, but at the same time, I have to clean my house, wash your hair, shave legs, to wipe the body oil, pour in perfume, find the sock, trying on clothes, 10 several jump on scale, blow dry hair, wet, dry again, to apply deodorant, 15 minutes brushing your teeth, then put my hair into a ponytail in case of one thousand. I’ve been trying to keep my mind blank. All the time, my mind has refused to be a blank and passionate. Is this a date or not a date?
TERRY GROSS, wired :(laughter) great. When did this become a problem?
HEIMEL: I noticed three, four years ago, when someone called me and asked me for a strange day. And I almost — I almost want to start eating dinner and say, ok, what are you going to do? But I’ve never had the guts to do that.
MAO: why not? You are a rather nervous person.
HEIMEL :(laughter) nervous y in my writing. Watch me in real life.
HEIMEL: a completely different set of nerves.
MAO: have you ever asked a man?
HEIMEL: yes, absolutely. I don’t know if they know it’s a date. (laughter) And I don’t know how to say I’m asking you, because I think I might want to sleep with you. I mean, what did you say? How do you do that? I think I have to figure it out, because nobody does it. I think this is my job.
MAO: you know, like women, we grew up where a man asked – a man or a boy asked a woman or a girl to go out on a date. If there is any one, you know, romantic sexual contact, men start it. So you have to overcome that socialization and training. Do you like, like, the first romantic contact? Did you get that?
HEIMEL: never. I mean, it’s like involuntary. You know, you don’t think it’s breathing. I think I’ve been trained since I was six months old, and I’ve been passive in this kind of thing. It will take more courage. It’s going to be blind, roaring drunk, I — you know, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do that. I’m too timid.
MAO zedong: but, as a feminist, did you think, as a feminist, you should overcome this problem, even when you start a relationship can also be as equals, do you understand what I mean? You think you’re falling behind on this level, you should try to overcome this? Or do you accept it?
Helmer: I don’t know. I used to spend a few hours, weeks and months on yourself, let oneself become more attractive, more available, more exciting, more thin, more hair, the skin is better, in order to attract men. As I grew more confident and crazy, I felt I was tired of getting myself out.
If anyone wants to go out with me, they’ll let me know. I’ll let them know. But I don’t want to pursue it to the end of the earth. That’s too low. I think the role of women has always been that we — if we don’t have a date, we do something wrong. If no one asks us what we did wrong. There is a terrible thing – everyone can see our secrets, but we ourselves.
Helmer: we read 100 million self-help books. You know, “love too many women” may not actually be a bad book. But let half of the female population devour the book and realize, yes, I have some new mistakes – I think it’s anti-feminist. I think it’s time for everyone to say, ok, you want me, okay. If you don’t want me, it’s too bad.
Maurice: now, you’re one of the few feminists I can think of, who writes about fashion and dating. And, of course, your reaction is ironic. But on the other hand, like, you really like shoes.
MAO: what makes you angry about buying clothes now? What do you find frustrating?
HEIMEL: well, for anyone who wants to look good, the price is certainly depressing. Another thing I feel very frustrating thing is that now there are a lot of people are close to or already 40 years old, and don’t want to be a grandmother, don’t want to be a fallen man, don’t want to be upset, don’t want to become is not willing to look like mutton dressed as lamb in despair, all people in the face of our youth clothing.
Now, I love Betsy Johnson’s death, and I’ve been wearing Betsy Johnson’s clothes. But I can’t wear them anymore. I can’t wear much more. I don’t want to wear a doll dress with flowers. I just look stupid.
So I want to know is, who was there for me in this age group has strange women and tens of thousands of design, fashionable, adventure clothes – you know, we are – we grew up with so many people in the 60 s of people just don’t want to suddenly in chanel suit or chanel chanel suit of stereotypes stereotypes in the world.
Davis: writer Cynthia hermel spoke to terry gross in 1991. Hermel died on Sunday. We’ll hear more after the break. This is fresh air.
(voice of TROPICALISIMO BITIKO SONG, “NO LO PUEDO CREER”)
Davis: it’s fresh air. We are listening to terry’s 1991 interview with Cynthia Heimel, a groundbreaking sex and columnist. She died Sunday at the age of 70.

General secretary: in one of your new books…
MAO: one thing is to invite some male friends and then invite some female friends to watch porn. What is this exercise about? Are you trying to compare the differences between men and women and how they respond to pornography?
Hymell: well, they’re playboy, so I’m not sure I consciously know what I’m doing. But this is an experiment, yes. This is to see what men look like. And then, when I realized that their performance was completely stupid, I thought, well, let’s see what the woman did. And, you know, this is great. I think in biology, men and women are so different, you know? They just – I’m surprised we get together, ‘because men are so visual, and women must have so many fantasy, or must be connected in some way or fall in love with the real sex.
The President: what do women get confused about what men do to women in movies? I mean, sometimes I think porn is made by people who don’t know how women work.
HEIMEL: yes, the women say – you know, they’re just laughing. I mean, it’s ridiculous. In a movie, a woman has a telephone relationship with a man, and she’s wearing what god knows – you know, like one of the garter belts. Her hair was flawless, her makeup flawless, and she was breathing heavily on the phone. How many women in the room, on the phone with her boyfriend about sexy – you know, there is some version of the phone sex – say, oh, of course, we wear flannel pyjamas and knee socks,…
Helmer: you know, get out of here. Who does that – nobody. Nobody did. No one is like that. I mean, that’s what those movies are about. They don’t fit us. They are not suitable for women. I see some clothes that are specifically designed for women, and they do a lot of good stuff, and they do a lot of good, you know, interior design. But they are bored in bed. I think for a woman, porn is like a room with a lot of scenery…
Helmer:… You know, it just boils on the surface. I can’t wait. I can’t wait – oh, my god, my god – you know, that sort of thing.
MAO: yes. I want to ask you about the tone you use in your writing…
GROSS:…… Because whether you’re talking about sex or clothes or self-help books or whatever, you have this great, funny, sarcastic tone. It looks like – you know, like Dorothy Parker, it’s part of a fashion magazine. Talk about your tone in your writing, where it comes from, what you’re doing.
Helmer: I don’t know. I mean, there’s an interesting style, it just evolved. I think – I have never went to college, so nobody taught me how to write, this will help a lot of things, because if you try to start with an idiot to write a creative writing courses, they can teach you all the wrong things at college. I was always reading when I was a child. I remember when I was, like I kept reading JD salinger at the age of 16. So I think there’s something like JD Salinger there. I know it’s weird, but this is where it starts. I read a lot about hunter Thompson and Tom Wolfe for the news. I just adore these people.

Just no the best place to change.”
First, you are not alone! There are various, many people on the market who will be in the same disease you to you’re in – impact isolated into the a love impacted by ADHD, impression since if they somehow did not rating what they had bargained to possess within hookupdate their relationships – which every could have been an ugly surprise.
Whether it’s discipline, refuge, or something in between, communications may become close to impossible, and work out both couples become separated and unloved
Of several parts possess 100 % free mature ADHD organizations. I tune in to more often than once that just realizing that others display the facts is effective which good assistance group is healing. Here are a few a great info getting an assist classification inside your neighborhood:
- ADDA (the attention Deficit Problems Connection) has a listing of support groups all over the country on ADDA webpages
- CHADD (Children and you may Grownups that have Focus Deficit Disorder) has many local sections, most of which focus on 100 % free organizations. More information can be obtained within CHADD website.
Next, there is no need to accept the latest spoken discipline. In reality, while most likely alert, in a routine out-of verbal discipline is quite harmful to your health. The guy will bring gadgets getting learning how to handle emotional abuse, and a part written for husbands just who mentally punishment their wives. You can thought watching as much as possible view it on the web or at your local library.
It can be that partner try reluctant to build relationships you regarding the ADHD and you may concerning your matchmaking since things are merely far too mental to you one another. Nonetheless, you can find reasons to worry. Stosny writes to help you husbands inside the guide:
I’ve stated Steven Stosny in advance of inside site before since We receive his publication “You don’t need to Carry it Anymore” quite beneficial to possess placing the fresh new outrage, resentment and you may emotional abuse that was taking place in my own dating with the perspective
“Your spouse most likely ordered so it publication as she either seems for example she strolls for the eggshells close to you, in the hope that you won’t criticize, disregard, yell, whine, refute the lady, or promote this lady this new quiet treatment. I know you don’t discover how frequently you do these things. The fact is that you don’t need to perform them very often to really get your spouse throughout the habit of walking on eggshells; carrying out him or her on occasion can be crappy since the starting these the full time. The damage is performed not so much by volume from the fresh new bad occurrences as because of the their lingering proper care that you may possibly carry out him or her….If the she really does believe ways, she doesn’t such as the person she’s end up being on your own relationships. Just in case she cannot including the people the woman is end up being, it is almost certain that you never for instance the people you getting, often. That’s a powerful declaration. To check on when it relates to you, wonder two concerns:
- Is the relationship the method that you think it could be just before you’ve got hitched?
- Have you been the newest husband you desired becoming before you got married?
Stosny continues on to fairly share a very important design to own all of those that happen to be during the marriage ceremonies where ADHD was a beneficial basis. You cannot Manage Exactly what your Spouse States Otherwise Does. You might Only Handle Your self. He goes on “For individuals who work with stuff you do not handle, like your partner’s choices, you will certainly be powerless and you can inadequate oftentimes. Actual personal fuel arises from centering on what you are able control, away from pretending in your needs…according to the strongest beliefs.” (p. 152)
It is all too possible for both spouses feeling overwhelmed by outrage and you may outrage for the ADHD matchmaking. It contributes to many crappy conclusion toward both sides.
One unfortunate side-effect of one’s pain to be a non-Include spouse try shedding into the pitfall of trying to evolve a wife with ADHD. It directs a message to that companion you don’t love your. The fact is that you truly Do love your, however Dislike was choices. It may be hard, nevertheless need to consider – you can not Changes a girlfriend which have ADHD, or their choices. Only they can do this. You might only changes how you address you to definitely choices and your feelings regarding it. Amazingly, it can happen when this new answer is altered, very ‘s the behavior. It is counterintuitive, to be sure. (And do not fall into brand new pitfall away from thinking After all a short-term change in their reponse. I’m speaking of genuine, deep-down changes out of soul about how you feel from the their ADHD and how you’re going to deal with it.)
I’m not suggesting you add with new mental punishment. Alternatively, regarding near-term, manage what you are able alter…score pertaining to a help category (hopefully one to work on of the an expert who can make you certain strong advice for your unique problem), get some records on how to accept ADHD choices, attempt to carry out a breeding ground where your lady has the ability to open up a while in the place of impact blamed, attacked otherwise hated. Possibly then will quickly remember hearing that which you need certainly to state and inquire (no claims on this, however your it’s likely that enhanced for people who yourself come into a beneficial best aura). Take control of what you are able control – do not let your death of vow and you may isolation continue. Possible feel better and you can, most likely, learn that you have much more choice than simply you already envision you would.

David Cameron could possibly be compelled to return to Commons chamber
- Senior MPs are contemplating calling Lord Cameron earlier than the Bar of the House
Senior MPs are contemplating invoking the historic process of calling Lord Cameron earlier than the Bar of the House to make sure that he’s totally accountable to the elected Commons.
The extraordinary transfer was mooted amid fury from many MPs that he would in any other case reply solely to the unelected House of Lords – not the Commons.
Embarrassingly for the previous Prime Minister, summoning somebody to the Bar of the House – a white line which marks the formal boundary of the Commons chamber which non-MPs can not cross – has been deployed to problem reprimands.
It was final utilized in 1957 when newspaper editor Sir John Junor was compelled to apologise for publishing an article suggesting that MPs had been getting greater than their honest of petrol throughout rationing.
However, final evening, The Mail on Sunday was instructed that such was the anger that the Foreign Secretary would perform his essential Cabinet job from the Lords that the rarely-used measure could possibly be invoked.
David Cameron may face the humiliation of being summoned to face earlier than MPs within the Commons chamber to reply questions as the brand new Foreign Secretary
Senior MPs are contemplating invoking the historic process of calling Lord Cameron earlier than the Bar of the House to make sure that he’s totally accountable to the elected Commons
The plan emerged amid claims that Foreign Office Minister and Tory MP Andrew Mitchell, the following most senior Minister within the division, had demanded the formal title of Deputy Foreign Secretary as he’ll deputise for Lord Cameron within the Commons.
A supply mentioned: ‘Everyone is looking him DFS, not after the couch retailer however for Deputy Foreign Secretary.’
Mr Mitchell denied that, saying: ‘I’ve not requested that – it was the BBC which referred to me as that. I made clear within the Commons that I’ve been requested to talk for the Foreign Secretary there.’
Many MPs had been furious at Rishi Sunak’s shock determination final week to recall the ex-PM, who left the Commons in 2016, to function Foreign Secretary by giving him a seat within the Lords.
Within hours of the appointment, the Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle instructed MPs that he had ‘commissioned recommendation from the Clerks about doable choices’ to ensure the Foreign Secretary was accountable to the Commons.
And final evening, a senior MP near the Commons’ Procedure Committee – which is now anticipated to look into the difficulty – mentioned utilizing the ability to summon Lord Cameron could possibly be the reply.
The problem of requiring friends who had been Ministers to return to the Commons was final thought-about when ex-Labour MP Peter Mandelson entered the Lords in 2008 and given key Cabinet jobs by Gordon Brown.
The senior MP added: ‘Anyone will be known as earlier than the Bar of the House – it is fairly doable that can be a suggestion to cope with this new scenario.’
Other measures being thought-about are understood to be the much less drastic choice of adjusting Commons guidelines to permit Lord Cameron to talk from the Dispatch Box or just query him within the Westminster Hall venue shared by the Lords and Commons.
It is known that as a peer, he may technically reject a Commons summons however MPs mentioned it will be a ‘horrible look’ if he did so.
Last evening, insiders mentioned that he was already conscious of the specter of a summons and was dreading it, with oneally saying he would look ‘just like the accused within the dock’.
However, Tory MP and former Commons Leader Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg mentioned that to keep away from the previous PM having to face, ‘we would supply him a chair to make it somewhat extra snug’.
Sir Jacob additionally confused that there was precedent within the nineteenth Century for a peer to provide proof from the Bar of the Commons chamber.
The Foreign Office confused that Mr Mitchell had already promised to ‘comply with the precedent’ set by earlier Governments and deputise for Lord Cameron within the Commons.


A paradigm shift is happening that will change the way companies store, compute and transmit data. This shift will give birth to a plethora of new opportunities, including solutions to the most persistent problems faced by big tech companies and users alike. This article will explore one such opportunity — the creation of the first truly decentralized graph database. In addition to being scalable, cost-effective, and secure, this technology will allow users to manipulate and retrieve their data in a trustless, permissionless way.
This is not another story complaining about large technology companies violating data ethics. Rather it seeks to empathize with both users and companies and understand why they act the way they do, from economical, social and technological perspectives.

Marriage equality: Losing forward
BY Advocate.com Editors
October 28 2004 12:00 AM ET
The following is the second half of a speech Wolfson delivered on September 30 at the National Lesbian and Gay Law Association’s Lavender Law Conference, an annual gathering of attorneys, legal academics, and law students. Find the full speech on the Freedom to Marry Web site.The Union: a House DividedIn past chapters of civil rights history unfolding on the battlefield of marriage, this conversation and this patchwork of legal and political struggles would have proceeded in the first instance—and over quite some time—in the states, without federal interference or immediate national resolution.That’s because historically, domestic relations, including legal marriage, have under the American system of federalism been understood as principally (and almost entirely) the domain of the states.States worked out their discrepancies in who could marry whom under the general legal principles of comity, reflecting the value of national unity. The commonsense reality that it makes more sense to honor marriages than to destabilize them was embodied in the relevant specific legal principle, generally followed in all states—indeed, almost all jurisdictions around the world—that a marriage valid where celebrated will be respected elsewhere, even in places that would not themselves have performed that marriage.States got to this logical result not primarily through legal compulsion, but through common sense—addressing the needs of the families and institutions (banks, businesses, employers, schools, etc.) before them. Eventually a national resolution came, grounded, again, in common sense, actual lived experience, and the nation’s commitment to equality, constitutional guarantees, and expanding the circle of those included in the American dream.But when it comes to constitutional principles such as equal protection—and, it now appears, even basic American safeguards such as checks and balances, the courts, and even federalism—antigay forces believe there should be a “gay exception” to the constitutions, to fairness, and to respect for families. Inserting the federal government into marriage for the first time in U.S. history, our opponents federalized the question of marriage, prompting the passage of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in 1996.This federal antimarriage law creates an un-American caste system of first- and second-class marriages. If the federal government likes whom you marry, you get a vast array of legal and economic protections and recognition—ranging from Social Security and access to health care to veterans benefits and immigration rights to taxation and inheritance and a myriad of others (in a 2004 report the GAO identified 1,138 ways in which marriage implicates federal law). Under so-called DOMA, if the federal government doesn’t like whom you married, this typically automatic federal recognition and protection are withdrawn in all circumstances, no matter what the need.The federal antimarriage law also purported to authorize states not to honor the lawful marriages from other states (provided those marriages were of same-sex couples)—in defiance of more than 200 years of history in which, as I said, the states had largely worked out discrepancies in marriage laws among themselves under principles of comity and common sense, as well as the constitutional commitment to full faith and credit.When this radical law was first proposed, some of us spoke up immediately saying it was unconstitutional—a violation of equal protection, the fundamental right to marry, federalist guarantees such as the full faith and credit clause, and limits on Congress’s power. Ignoring our objections, our opponents pressed forward with their election-year attack.Now they concede the unconstitutionality of the law they stampeded through just eight years ago and are seeking an even more radical means of assuring gay people’s second-class citizenship, this time through an assault on the U.S. Constitution itself as well as the constitutions of the states.Because they do not trust the next generation, because they know they have no good arguments, no good reason for the harsh exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage, our opponents are desperate to tie the hands of all future generations, and as many states as possible, now.This patchwork—and especially the next few weeks and months—will be difficult, painful, even ugly, and we will take hits. Indeed, we stand to take several hits in the states where our opponents have thrown antigay measures at us in their effort to deprive our fellow citizens of the information, the stories of gay couples to dispel stereotypes and refute right-wing lies, and the lived experience of the reality of marriage equality. While it is especially outrageous that the opponents of equality are using constitutions as the vehicles for this division and wave of attacks on American families, in the longer arc, their discrimination will not stand.Here are a few basic lessons we can cling to in the difficult moments ahead, to help us keep our eye on the prize of the freedom to marry and full equality nationwide, a prize that shimmers within reach.

Zoo Med Zoo Menu Bearded Dragon Food
Bearded dragons are omnivorous, which means they need both plant and animal matter in their diet to get the nutrition that they need. Juvenile bearded dragons are in a phase of rapid growth, so they need more animal matter (50-60% of diet) to help fuel that growth. Once they reach adulthood, their bodies switch to maintenance mode and they begin to eat much more plant matter (70-80% of diet).
Zoo Med Zoo Menu Bearded Dragon Food is a low-protein canned diet appropriate for feeding to adult bearded dragons. With a tasty apple flavor, this formula helps entice even finicky bearded dragons to eat.
Instructions for Use:
Feed as much as your bearded dragon will eat in one day. Remove uneaten food at the end of the day and discard.
This is not a complete diet for adult or juvenile bearded dragons. However it may be occasionally used in place of fresh produce within a balanced feeding rotation.
Cover and refrigerate after opening.
It is best practice to offer fresh greens and live insects as the majority of your bearded dragon's diet. However, prepared diets like Zoo Med Zoo Menu® Bearded Dragon Food add essential variety to their nutrition and are good to have on hand as a backup in case of emergency.
Crude Protein (min) 1.3%

A range of support programs has been shown to improve access to justice for people with cognitive disabilities who have been accused of crimes, according to an investigation by the Melbourne Social Equity Institute at the University of Melbourne.
The two-year project also found these support programs can reduce the need for people with cognitive disabilities to be found unfit to stand trial and detained indefinitely.
A cost-benefit analysis shows the programs can also create significant savings for government.
The Unfitness to Plead report underlined he case of Indigenous man Marlon Noble who was found unfit to stand trial and spent 10 years in jail even though he never appeared in court or was convicted of any crime.
Unfitness to plead laws are based on the idea that accused people should not be put on trial if they are unable to understand the legal process and the charges against them.
“While the main aim of these laws is to avoid unfair trials, declarations of unfitness can lead to indefinite detention in prison or other facilities for people who have not been convicted of any crime,” Professor Bernadette McSherry, the Institute’s Foundation Director said.
“There have been cases of people being imprisoned for much longer than if they’d been sentenced following a conviction.”
In 2015, the Institute brought together an interdisciplinary research team to develop practical and legal options for addressing this problem and to prevent discrimination against people with cognitive disabilities.
According to the research team’s final report, released today, people with cognitive disabilities face barriers across the entire criminal justice system. Disadvantages identified include:
Inaccessible court proceedings that rely on complex language
Inconsistent availability of support throughout court proceedings
Under-resourced legal services
Long delays in proceedings involving accused people with cognitive disabilities.
The “criminalisation of disabilities” whereby the environmental causes of difficult behaviour are ignored or played down, or behaviour associated with a disability is misinterpreted as defiance.
Professor McSherry said to comply with obligations under international human rights law, people with cognitive disabilities must be able to take part in criminal proceedings on an equal basis with other citizens.
She says this reflects the recommendations of a 2016 Senate Committee inquiry, which noted “indefinite detention is unacceptable and that state and territory legislation be amended in line with this principle”.
“Various forms of support can improve the accessibility of proceedings for accused people with cognitive disabilities,” Professor McSherry said.
The research team developed a Disability Justice Support Program, which helped accused people take part in legal proceedings and exercise their legal rights. This was found to reduce the need for unfitness to plead declarations.
The program did this by developing and introducing cost-effective, culturally appropriate supports for those at risk of being found unfit to plead into community legal centres in Victoria, New South Wales and the Northern Territory. Supports included Indigenous interpreters and gender specific supports.
The Unfitness to Plead project focused on those who are accused of a crime and are at risk of being unfit to plead.
Accused people with cognitive and other disabilities may face indefinite detention on the grounds of protecting themselves or others from harm if they are released. Unfitness laws seem to affect Indigenous Australians with disabilities more than any other group in the community.
The report says people are also pleading guilty to an alleged crime instead of seeking a determination of unfitness to plead because they believe, or were led to believe, they would spend less time in prison, even if this meant concealing the extent of their disability.
Forty-two per cent of men in Victorian prisons and 33 per cent of women have an acquired brain injury. This compares to 2.2 per cent of the general population.
Throughout Australia, people with disabilities are more likely to get caught in the criminal justice system, and it is generally agreed that more could be done to make sure criminal proceedings are more accessible to those with disabilities.
Funded by the Commonwealth Government’s National Disability Research and Development Research Scheme, the project has already led to:
Embedding a support program within community legal services for people with cognitive impairments charged with a crime, including Indigenous Australians
Apparent cost-savings to government, where costly unfitness to plead proceedings or imprisonment were avoided
Gathering evidence suggesting that well-timed support reduces offending by improving social inclusion and engagement with community-based support services.

LG's latest smartphone brings more than just a new name to the table.
Taking the place of the manufacturer's now-defunct G-series, the Velvet represents a bold new chapter for LG. Gone are clunky and long names like the L:G V50 ThinQ 5G and seemingly-gone is the desire to go toe-to-toe with Samsung when it comes to price and prestige.
Instead, the Velvet is billed as an upper mid-tier phone with premium perks and a focus on everyday content creation. To that end, LG have kitted the camera app on the device out with a number of nifty features, such as Voice Bokeh, support for Wacom styli, 4K timelapses and - as mentioned in the header - a dedicated ASMR mode.
This bevy of bespoke software bonuses is paired up with a triple-lens camera configuration that's built around a 48-megapixel main lens, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens and a 5-megapixel depth sensor. There's also a 16-megapixel front-facing camera. As opposed to the competition, LG have also opted to flatten the hardware here. Despite the three-lens setup, the Velvet's so-called 'raindrop' camera design only features a single (and slight) camera bump on the back.
Novelties aside, the LG Velvet is equipped with a Snapdragon 765G processor, a 6.8-inch FHD+ OLED display, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. There's a triple-lens camera on the back and it also features a few details you don't usually find under $1000, such as wireless charging and IP68 water resistance
In Australia, the LG Velvet is priced at an RRP of AU$899. The device will be available from late July through JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys.
