What makes a spoken word poem?
Spoken word is written on a page but performed for an audience. It relies on a heavy use of rhythm, improvisation, rhymes, word play, and slang. Some examples of spoken word you might be familiar with are stories, poems, monologues, slam poetry, rap and even stand-up comedy.
What is the difference between poetry and spoken word?
Spoken word is a poetic performance art that is word-based. It is an oral art that focuses on the aesthetics of word play such as intonation and voice inflection. Spoken word poetry is emotion heavy and seeks to move the audience through sounds and sights.
What is spoken poetry in literature?
Spoken word poetry is poetry that is written on a page but performed for an audience. Because it is performed, this poetry tends to demonstrate a heavy use of rhythm, improvisation, free association, rhymes, rich poetic phrases, word play and slang.
Why is spoken word poetry important?
The teaching of Spoken Word Poetry is important because it addresses students’ critical thinking, democratic engagement, and empowers their voices through verse. Spoken Word Poetry allows students to weave their primary discourse into their secondary discourse.
What makes a good spoken poem?
Make it sound good.
Spoken word poetry is written to be read aloud, so the way the poem itself sounds is just as important as the content of the written words. A rhyme scheme isn’t necessary, but rhyming particular words or lines together can enhance your message or story when used properly.
Is Spoken Word Slam Poetry?
“Slam poetry” is simply a term used to refer poems performed at slams. Spoken Word Poetry (or performance poetry) is simply poetry that’s written to be performed. All slam poetry is spoken word, but not all spoken word poetry is written to be performed at slams.
Is spoken word poetry?
Spoken word is a “catchall” term that includes any kind of poetry recited aloud, including poetry readings, poetry slams, jazz poetry, and hip hop music, and can include comedy routines and prose monologues.
How long should a spoken word poem be?
As someone who has run a lot of poetry readings and open mics (and attended even more), I can tell you that there are often more people who want to read than there is time to read, so usually there’s a time limit of about five minutes (or a one-poem limit, which usually works out to 3–5 minutes).
What is a poetry competition called?
A poetry slam is a competition arts event, in which poets perform spoken word poetry before a live audience and a panel of judges. The judging is often handled by a panel of judges, typically five, who are usually selected from the audience. Sometimes the poets are judged by audience response.
What was the first spoken word?
Mother, bark and spit are some of the oldest known words, say researchers. Continue reading → Mother, bark and spit are just three of 23 words that researchers believe date back 15,000 years, making them the oldest known words.
How do you analyze spoken word poetry?
Check out these six ways to analyze a poem.
- Step One: Read. Have your students read the poem once to themselves and then aloud, all the way through, at LEAST twice.
- Step Two: Title. Think about the title and how it relates to the poem.
- Step Three: Speaker.
- Step Four: Mood and Tone.
- Step Five: Paraphrase.
- Step Six: Theme.
What is the definition for poetry?
Poetry, literature that evokes a concentrated imaginative awareness of experience or a specific emotional response through language chosen and arranged for its meaning, sound, and rhythm.
Is haiku a form of literature?
Haiku, unrhymed poetic form consisting of 17 syllables arranged in three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively. The haiku first emerged in Japanese literature during the 17th century, as a terse reaction to elaborate poetic traditions, though it did not become known by the name haiku until the 19th century.

Have you ever looked a girl
and thought she was pretty and maybe whistled or made a comment? Did you
ever think that doing something like that could get you killed? Thatís
what happened to Emmett Till in 1955. Emmett was a fourteen-year-old black
boy from Chicago, and he just didnít know how things were done in Mississippi.
And when they told him about the way things worked between the blacks and
whites in the South, he didnít take it seriously. He wasnít about to let
anybody tell him what he could and couldnít do. And he certainly wasnít
going to act like anybodyís servant, carrying some white boyís suitcase
like he was some sort of slave. That was Hiram Hillburnís introduction
to Emmett: Emmett was the boy who wouldnít carry his suitcase. Not that
Hiram wanted Emmett to carry it. Hiram just wanted to get to his grandfatherís
house. It was heaven to be at his grandfatherís, where heíd spent so many
wonderful vacations as a kid. It was heaven to be away from his father,
with his constant sermons and weirdness about hate, racism, equal rights,
and all that. His father hated the South and the way things were down there,
and heíd moved his family as far away from Mississippi and his own father
as he could possibly get them. But Hiram didnít hate the South, and he
certainly didnít hate his grandfather. That is, he didnít until he heard
about what happened to Emmett Till after someone accused him of whistling
at a white woman. How could anyone kidnap a fourteen-year-old kid, viciously
beat, maim, and shoot him, and then dump him into a river? And how could
it be that the people responsible were declared innocent after the jury
deliberated for barely an hour? How could it be that people like Hiramís
own grandfather think the most horrible thing that happened was a wolf
whistle, not a murder?
(Pause a beat or two, or wait for the "is that true?" question.)
This novel is based on actual events. Hiramís part of the story is fiction,
but Emmett Till did go to Mississippi in 1955, he did whistle at a white
woman in a store, he was murdered for it, and his killers did go free.
The U.S. Justice Department has recently (Oct. 2004) reopened the case.

Away With Murder, also by Chris Crowe. (Miriam Neiman, email@example.com,
Welles-Turner Memorial Library, Glastonbury, CT)
At first Hiram was very excited
to be visiting his favorite grandfather in Greenwood, Mississippi.
Things were going great till he meets Emmett Till. Emmett Till was
a 14 year-old African American from Chicago who went to visit realatives
for the summer in Greenwood.
Hiriam and Emmett become friends. A tragic incident happens to Emmett.
He was kidnapped and murdered for allegedly whistling at a white woman
in the Bryant Meat and Grocery Store.
A few night later, R.C., an old "friend" of Hiriam's pays him a visit and
tells him about Emmett whistling at a white woman in public and "how he
ought to be taught a lesson!" Hiriam worries about Emmett.
Emmett's body is found a couple of days later floating in the river.
Hiriam cannot figure out who murdered Emmett. Hiriam and the town
try to solve the murder mystery. Could R.C. be capable of committing
this torture type crime? Due to the prejudice circumstances that
existed in the south during the 1950's Hiriam is very confused about who
murdered his friend.
Read this book and find out exactly who is responsible for this horrible
hate crime. Does the real killer get his "just deserved" punishment?
You'll have to read the story to find out who done it. (Rebecca C.

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has issued a warning regarding a batch of contaminated Sprite 50cl glass bottles that are circulating in Nigeria.
In an official statement released by NAFDAC’s management, it was revealed that the discovery of the product was made after a consumer lodged a complaint, which was subsequently investigated by the post-marketing surveillance unit of the agency.
The statement explained that the affected batch, identified as BN: AZ6 22:32, consists of more than five crates of Sprite 50cl glass bottles with a manufacturing date (MFD: 180423). These bottles were found to be contaminated with foreign particles.
To address the issue, NAFDAC has taken samples from the implicated batch of the unwholesome product for laboratory analysis at their own facility. Additionally, the agency has instructed all zonal directors and state coordinators to conduct surveillance and retrieve the contaminated batch from the market.
Furthermore, NAFDAC has directed the Nigerian Bottling Company Limited (Abuja plant), the responsible company, to initiate a recall of the implicated batch and cooperate with NAFDAC for thorough monitoring.
NAFDAC has also urged individuals who possess the contaminated Sprite 50cl glass bottles to surrender their stock to the nearest NAFDAC office.
Simultaneously, the agency has advised distributors, retailers, and consumers to exercise caution and refrain from consuming, selling, or distributing any unwholesome products.


Back in September 2016, Zelo Street noted that two former Murdoch luminaries, legal man Tom Crone and Colin Myler, the last to edit the Screws before it was shut down, were to be censured by Parliament for contempt, or as ordinary people call it, lying. One name, however, got off on this occasion: Les Hinton, former Murdoch lieutenant, was cleared of misleading the Culture select committee, although there was a scepticism over his memory of events. It seems that scepticism was justified.
Les Hinton claiming he didn't know, honestly
Because, although Hinton “told BBC Hardtalk’s Zeinab Badawi that he knew nothing about phone hacking that was undertaken by journalists in the UK, but did not wish to ‘diminish the crimes that took place’”, the Beeb noting “Mr Hinton was the executive chairman of News International during a period where the voicemail of the murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler and many others were illegally accessed”, there is a problem here.
And that is that Hinton, we now learn, appears to have known rather more than he admitted previously. Court records seen by the Byline Media team reveal “Coulson told News International CEO Les Hinton about phone hacking David Blunkett in 2004 for front page exclusive. But Hinton never told the police or reprimanded Coulson or Thurlbeck”.
Those who look in regularly on Zelo Street may recall that Colin Myler had told in a witness statement “I recall a meeting I had with Neville THURLBECK, the Chief Reporter of the News of the World … together with Tom CRONE, the newspaper’s legal manager … in or around July 2009 … I recall that the meeting took place on a Saturday”. The meeting happened the weekend after Nick Davies first broke the phone hacking story.
There was more. “Mr THURLBECK told Mr CRONE and me that some years previously he had hacked into David BLUNKETT’s voicemail messages. This had taken place when Mr BLUNKETT was the Home Secretary and allegations were published by the Newspaper about his personal life … Stories concerning Mr BLUNKETT were published in 2004, and ultimately he resigned his position as Home Secretary”.
This is what the Byline story is referencing. What their report adds is the assertion that Neville “Stylish Masturbator” Thurlbeck’s hacking of Blunkett was known not just to Myler, Crone, Neil Wallis and then Rebekah Brooks, but also Andy Coulson - which figures, as he was editing the Screws at the time - and yes, Les Hinton. Here’s the relevant passage.
“RUPERT Murdoch’s right-hand-man Les Hinton knew about phone hacking at the News of the World two years earlier than he stated in evidence to a Parliamentary Committee … was named at least six times at the Central Criminal Court in London as knowing about the paper’s hacking of former British Home Secretary David Blunkett … [the] The claims, made by the Sunday tabloid’s then editor Andy Coulson”.
But Hinton told MPs in 2007 “I believe absolutely that Andy did not have knowledge of what was going on”, adding in 2009 “There was never firm evidence provided or suspicion provided that I am aware of that implicated anybody else other than Clive [Goodman] within the staff of the News of the World - it just did not happen”.
It just did. And it’s now looking like his pants are on fire. Perhaps Damian Collins would like to invite him back to have another think about his story.

Regression of multiple meningiomata after cessation of cyproterone acetate treatment
General Surgery (East Africa)
Objectives: We report a case of regression of multiple meningiomata after cessation of cyproterone acetate treatment.
Design: Case report and PubMed review of the literature.
Subjects: A 59-year-old man had been on prolonged cyproterone for hypersexuality. He presented with 6 months increasing right-sided headaches and right-eye proptosis. He also had early signs of right optic nerve edema. MRI showed multiple meningiomata with the largest being over the right sphenoid wing. Cyproterone was discontinued.
Methods: Patient review in outpatients with serial MRI scans and PubMed search using the terms “meningioma” and “cyproterone acetate” or “hormone” and “regression.”
Results: Within 3 months of discontinuing cyproterone, the patient had marked clinical and radiological regression of his meningiomas. He has been reviewed with three monthly MRI scans for 1 year, and his symptoms have clinically resolved. So far, he has not required surgery and his hypersexuality is being effectively managed with Zoladex. Our literature review indicates a clinical association of meningioma formation with long-term cyproterone use. There are only two similar cases of tumor regression on cessation of cyproterone treatment.
Conclusions: This case illustrates how cyproterone may result in hormone-receptive meningiomata growth. It also shows how discontinuing the cyproterone has so far resulted in clinical resolution of symptoms and radiological tumor regression in this case.

Can a relatively low-sugar diet cause constipation? Lots of TMI and perhaps NSFW within...
: long-term vegetarian, have never had ANY problems with constipation before.
Approximately one month ago, I cut out most of the overly processed & sugar-laden food from my diet. I did this primarily because my sugar cravings were gettting out of control (waking up craving brownies and cake is no way to live) but also because I just wanted to be more healthy in general. Enter extreme constipation. Whereas before I was having a movement once or twice a day with absolutely no strain, now I am lucky if I feel the urge once a day and it takes several minutes and lots of straining and shifting around on the toilet to get anything moving. I am seriously afraid of getting hemorrhoids. Also, (and I suppose obviously) pre-diet change, I seemed to be evacuating within 18-24 hours of consumption. Now it is closer to 48-72 hours. Can simply cutting out processed and high-sugar foods cause this? It is truly the only thing in my diet that has changed, and if anything I imagine I am getting more fiber, in the form of increased intake of fruits and vegetables. A typical day's menu (in order of consumption):
Hard-boiled egg, sprinkled with salt
Bowl of Hot Muesli
*6 Fiber Capsules
4 servings of vegetables
Fat-free greek style yogurt
with chopped walnuts and bit of honey
Sliced apple with peanut butter
1-2 slices cinnamon raisin bread
with butter OR bag of natural microwave popcorn
*6 Fiber capsules (again)
Either sliced hard-boiled egg with butter or sliced cheese on 2 pieces of sprouted multi-grain sandwich bread
Maybe another piece of fruit (usually a mango) OR baby carrots with hummus if I'm feeling like a snack
*I added the capsules after the first 2 weeks when the problem became apparent, and am careful to get LOTS of water (10-12 cups a day)
So, is this something that will go away in time as my body adjusts, or am I missing something crucial in my diet? Even with the capsules, I am still having problems with constipation. Thanks all!

Stephen Foley: Who is buying LinkedIn – and at what price?
Saturday 21 May 2011
US Outlook: Who is buying LinkedIn shares at $100? At that price, the social networking site is worth $10bn, more than 40 times last year's revenues and an irrelevantly huge multiple of profits. To justify the valuation, investors are obviously looking not to the past, but to the future.
The company has been around for eight years, remember, without growing into the sort of must-use website that Facebook, created a year later, has become. What it does have is members who see value in paying for the service it provides, making sales contacts and job hunting opportunities, and business customers that pay for access to its growing user base.
So who is investing at what price? At the originally planned float level of $32-$35 per share, LinkedIn was priced for a "fundamentally optimistic investor". They believe a "network effect" is about to take over LinkedIn, where increasing user numbers make it increasingly valuable to join LinkedIn.
At the float price of $45, it was still attractive to the "something-will-turn-up investor". These excited souls believe that LinkedIn will invent a whole new revenue stream, much in the way that Facebook concentrated first on getting big and then worked out ways to make money from its users' social connections and online activities.
And at $100, the stock is a plaything for the "greater-fool investor". These buyers think LinkedIn will be swept up in a coming wave of excitement over social network flotations, as Facebook, Zynga, Groupon et al ready themselves for prime time. These game-players are not in it for the long-term. In fact, they have a hair-trigger when it comes to sell orders. LinkedIn's executives must be very nervous.

A few weeks ago, Dr. Leilah Zahedi-Spung received an emergency call to transfer a patient to the operating room. She is a Maternal Fetal Medicine physician specializing in high risk pregnancy complications.
The patient was only 19 weeks pregnant and bleeding rapidly.
“When she arrived and moved from stretcher to stretcher,” she said, “she lost 500cc of blood in front of me in less than two minutes.”
The patient had placenta previa and critical issues with her uterus, and was in early labor. It can be a life-threatening condition. By the time she stabilized, the patient had lost a third of her total blood volume. The baby was not viable.
Zahedi-Spung says she worries about what could happen in a similar emergency if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, as she stated in a draft notice disclosed written by Judge Samuel Alito and obtained by Politico.
“Do I need to watch her bleed to death while I call a lawyer to make sure she’s ‘dyed enough’ to do a procedure that will save her life? I don’t have the answer to that. , and that’s terrifying to me.
Zahedi-Spung now practices in Tennessee. Until recently, she worked in Georgia. She is one of many doctors and nurse-midwives across the country who have been sounding the alarm since the Supreme Court’s draft opinion leaked this spring.
Southern women’s health experts are planning how they will treat patients who experience miscarriages and pregnancy complications if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that guaranteed access to abortion nationwide, and states enact their own abortion restrictions.
Medical experts say the prospect of abortion bans raises important questions about possible impacts on doctors’ training and the care they provide to women with high-risk pregnancies and miscarriages.
“And how can we get patients the care they need quickly and safely, because there are times when miscarriages get very complicated,” says Zahedi-Spung.
Miscarriages are very common. In fact, it’s estimated that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage, mostly in the first trimester. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists finds that early miscarriage is the most common form of pregnancy loss. And sometimes pregnancy tissue can be left in the uterus after a miscarriage or the bleeding continues. To prevent infection or other complications, doctors may need to remove it. This is done using techniques that are also used for abortion.
Dr. Carrie Cwiak is a professor of gynecology and obstetrics at Emory University School of Medicine.
“The same drugs are used for early pregnancy loss,” she says. “The same surgical techniques are used for early pregnancy losses.”
For example, with a procedure known as dilation and curettage or D&C. And medical abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol.
“It’s really a form of general training for all obstetrician-gynecologists,” says Cwiak, who says the abortion ban could weaken the training doctors need to deal with complications of pregnancy. pregnancy and fueling suspicion. And that, she says, could shut down access to abortion skills training currently available to medical students.
“In fact, it is required by the ACGMEthe governing body of all residence halls for most institutions.
People’s lives could be at stake, Cwiak said.
“If I limit my use of these health care, these drugs and these surgeries in my ability to train people, they will be less prepared to deal with early pregnancy loss, early obstetric complications, certainly fetal abnormalities . The consequences will be significant, the consequences harmful.
Texas may already be seeing some of these adverse consequences. Kaiser Health News reports that state abortion restrictions are already making it difficult for some patients to access medication after a miscarriage.
In a recent interview, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky told the online news site Statistical it is important to preserve access to abortion skills.
“Our OB-GYN programs need to be trained in how to safely terminate pregnancy and all of that training potentially wouldn’t be happening in many states,” says Walensky. “So I think there will be broad implications to that.”
Still, it’s important to note that Georgia’s proposed six-week abortion ban includes exceptions for miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies, and for pregnancies that a doctor deems “medically futile.”
The 2019 law signed by Governor Brian Kemp remains pending Supreme Court ruling on the 15 weeks of 2018 Mississippi Abortion Law at the center of the Roe v. Wade disclosed. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the case soon.
After that, abortion restrictions in Georgia could go into effect within weeks or months.

The Company’s first wagons were contractor built for the opening of the line in 1846, and consisted of 50 goods wagons, 100 covered trucks, 30 cattle trucks and 100 mineral wagons, a total of 280 vehicles. A census taken on 18 May 1849 recorded that the wagon fleet had risen to 1601 vehicles, a measure of the rapid expansion of the railway in barely three years. There is little documentation giving details of these vehicles, although they are identifiable from photographs, the earliest known images dating from 1848.
It was not until the mid-1870s that any real form of standardisation was introduced, centred around the Company’s works at Cowlairs under the direction of locomotive superintendent, Dugald Drummond. Although wagon building of standard types continued at Cowlairs under his successors, Holmes and Reid, the NBR still used contractors to build their wagons at times of peak demand. The illustration above shows a standard three plank open goods wagon and a typical NBR brake van, a somewhat unusual design, first introduced in the 1880s and still being built well into the twentieth century.

Right from birth, on average, a child’s brain will increase by 2 grams per day, by the age of 7 the child’s brain will have reached about 90% of the adult brain size. Nutrition plays a very important role in the brain development of children.
In order for children to develop their best physical strength, it is always necessary to ensure that in the daily diet for children, there are enough 4 groups: starch, vegetables, protein, and fat. So what should parents give their children to be smart and healthy, and develop comprehensively? Here are some foods that are good for young brains.
1. Good starches for children’s brains
Starch is mainly from rice, grains such as rice, corn, potatoes, cassava…
The brain is the organ that consumes the most glucose in the body (accounting for about 20% of the sugar supplied to the body). For the brain to function properly, blood sugar needs to be stable (not too low or too high).
Studies show that a drop in glucose levels can have negative effects on concentration, memory, learning, and cognition. The brain also uses more glucose during times of intense mental need.
Without enough glucose, the central nervous system is affected, which can cause dizziness or mental and physical weakness.
Eggs are also a good source of choline. Choline is an essential nutrient that helps form cells deep inside the brain. Eggs also contain high levels of protein, iron, and vitamin A, which promote cell growth and repair.
Children can eat 1-2 eggs per day. The recommended amount of choline for children is:
- 7 to 12 months: 150 mg daily
- 200 mg daily from 1 to 3 years old
- 250 mg daily from 4 to 8 years old
- 375 mg daily from 9 to 13 years old
- 550 mg daily from 14 to 18 years old
3. Milk, yogurt, cheese
Milk, yogurt, and cheese are rich in lactose, when in the body, lactose will be broken down into glucose molecules. Meanwhile, our brain and nerve tissue are made up of galactose and other nutrients. Therefore, milk also plays an important role in the intellectual development and normal functioning of the brain.
Children need to be exclusively breastfed from birth until they turn 6 months old, then reasonable complementary foods combined with breastfeeding until 2 years of age or longer.
Dosage of milk and dairy products for each age of children:
- For children over 2 years old: Should choose milk and milk products suitable for each stage of the child’s development. If children are at risk of being overweight or obese, they should choose low-fat or skim milk and milk products.
- Children 3-5 years old should have 4 units of milk and dairy products per day, equivalent to 15g of cheese (1 piece of cheese), 100ml of yogurt (1 box of yogurt), and 200ml of liquid milk (2 glasses of milk). small).
- The Children 6-7 years old should have 4.5 units of milk and dairy products per day, equivalent to 15g of cheese (1 piece of cheese), 100ml of yogurt (1 box of yogurt) and 250ml of liquid milk (2). ,5 small glasses of milk).
- Children 8-9 years old should have 5 units of milk and dairy products per day, equivalent to 30g of cheese (2 pieces of cheese), 100ml of yogurt (1 box of yogurt), and 200ml of liquid milk (2 glasses of milk). small).
- From 10-19 years old should use 6 units of milk and dairy products per day, equivalent to 30g of cheese (2 pieces of cheese), 200ml of yogurt (2 boxes of yogurt), and 200ml of liquid milk (2 glasses of milk). small).
4. Green vegetables
Green vegetables such as collard greens, sweet vegetables, spinach, kale… are rich in folate and vitamins, minerals and fiber that are good for young brains.
If children are lazy to eat vegetables, you can add sauce to vegetables to attract children to eat vegetables more.
Early in life, a child’s mind and brain grow very quickly. Right after birth, the average baby’s brain will increase 2 grams per day, by the age of 7 the child’s brain will have reached about 90% of the adult brain size.
Omega is a very important nutrient that supports the formation and development of the brain because the gray matter of the brain is mostly omega fatty acids. Omega mainly includes DHA, EPA, and ALA, helping to create the sensitivity of neurons, helping to transmit information quickly and accurately, helping to increase concentration, and attention, and supporting cognitive improvement for children. , helps children to react quickly, remember well, and increase their ability to learn, evaluate, and imitate.
If there is a lack of omega, in the process of development children will have low IQ and EQ, increasing the potential risk of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, behavioral disorder, or depression.
Omega has 2 sources: plant omega and animal omega. Plant omegas are found in many nuts: green beans, black beans, peanuts, flaxseeds, walnuts, and black currants.
6. Types of fish
As analyzed above, omega is very important for brain development. Animal omega is abundant in fish, especially marine fish such as salmon, mackerel, tuna, herring… Feeding children fish will be very good for brain development.
7. Lean meats, seafood
In beef, lean pork, and seafood (shrimp, crab, clam, …) there is a lot of iron. Iron is an essential micronutrient for blood formation. If iron deficiency will lead to anemia in the body, anemia in the brain, fatigue, poor concentration, a feeling of drowsiness, and loss of alertness.
Fruits often contain a lot of antioxidants, which help children’s brains develop better. Strawberries, apricots, guava…. Apples are rich in antioxidants. Bananas are often considered brain food because they are rich in potassium and magnesium.

Circumcisions will no longer be performed on newborn boys at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, hospital officials announced Friday.
The move comes in response to the investigation into the case of a boy who was mistakenly circumcised at the hospital last November.
There’s a reason this victory for common sense requires a qualifier.
Since receiving the review, the chief medical officer at St. Boniface has decided not to reinstate the program, which was suspended after the incident.
Dr. Bruce Roe, the hospital’s chief medical officer, said it was “more appropriate” for circumcisions to take place in outpatient clinics after the family has been released from the hospital.
It’s more appropriate for circumcisions to take place for medically-necessary reasons only. If that requires an outpatient clinic or a hospital, so be it. Is it any more inappropriate to carry out a circumcision on a newborn (male) whose parents have consented than it is to carry it out on a newborn (male) whose parents have not consented? As we implement the law today, the answer is “yes”. But when we stop ignoring the elephant in the room, we understand that the answer is clearly “no”. Regardless of the reason given by the child’s parents, he has not given his consent to the cosmetic surgery. That should be enough to stop the hideous practice of routine infant circumcision.
This decision is a victory for the rights of infant males in Canada, but for too many children born at St. Boniface, it will be only a temporary reprieve. That makes it minor.

The United Arab Emirates have won the OSN Cup final after a 2-0 win over a 10-man New Zealand in Riyadh on Monday.
Goals in each half from Ahmed Khalil and Ali Ahmed Mabkhout handed the UAE a well-earned victory at the King Fahd International Stadium.
But the end of the match was marred by a shocking two-footed lunging tackle by New Zealand's Ben Sigmund, which saw the defender given a straight red card.
Sigmund was given his marching orders for jumping at the legs of goal-scorer Mabkhout in the 89th minute.
''I think it's just frustration,'' All Whites coach Ricki Herbert said of Sigmund's poor challenge.
''People want to come here and do well and I think it was just the state of the game and where it was at.
"But you've got to accept that responsibility.''
The incident capped a miserable night for New Zealand, who were outplayed by the 111th-ranked UAE outfit.
Played in energy-sapping 35-degree heat, the UAE settled quicker and went in front inside 11 minutes after a defensive mix-up between Winston Reid and Andrew Durante.
Reid appeared to be ready to clear what should have been a simple cross but Durante got a faint touch to it, with the ball falling invitingly to the feet of Mabkhout.
And he showed good awareness to cut the ball back for Khalil, who finished clinically into an open net.
The second goal came 10 minutes after the break when Abdulrahman took a quick free kick which caught the New Zealand defence napping.
Mabkhout found himself in acres of space on the edge of New Zealand's penalty area and he coolly curled a shot past Glen Moss.

But, you don't need to go further than that. You can simply write it and publish it and collect the income. That's all. Send out a couple emails to your list (if you have one) or post it on social media, and there you have it. Passive income. Now, the amount of income you receive depends on the quality of the book you've written. How well did you craft the message? How targeted was the information to your audience? It counts.

India has made progress increasing the primary education attendance rate and expanding literacy to approximately three-fourths of the population. India's literacy rate had grown from 52.2% in 1991 to 74.04% in 2011. The right to education at elementary level has been made one of the fundamental rights under the eighty-sixth Amendment of 2002, and legislation has been enacted to further the objective of providing free education to all children. However, the literacy rate of 74% is lower than the worldwide average and the country suffers from a high drop-out rate. Literacy rates and educational opportunities vary by region, gender, urban and rural areas, and among different social groups.
At age 55, I own high-end rental properties (near the beach) and commercial buildings servicing the medical industry. I was widely criticized during my career for not living up to my income; that is, buying big homes with many fancy cars. I married a great woman who understood that saving and investing today meant a better lifestyle and more freedom tomorrow. Our passive income is half of my active income from sales, but my net worth has increased substantially. We are both happier and healthier than we were in the high-stress pressure cooker of franchise sales. The naysayers have become converts to the concept of passive income, but they have locked themselves into a “big hat, no cattle” lifestyle. It has been a great ride!
I think also a very good way to earn a nice passive income is investing in Cryptocurrency, especially in Masternode Cryptocurrencies, which provide a passive income in coins, also those carefully picked coins grow in value, so it’s a double gain! And a great coin to invest in at the moment is GINCOIN, which is the fuel for a really succesful project. Find more at GINCOIN Website: https://gincoin.io/ 😉
Passive income is the gap in my financial plans at the moment. I started investing nearly 2 years ago but I’m so close to the beginning of that journey that I don’t quite see it as making income yet. I’ve been better with employer pensions and they’ve grown a really good amount over the last 12 months, but I won’t get my hands on them for a long time yet.
There are a couple of problems with direct investment in real estate though. It’s expensive to buy even a single property, a minimum of tens of thousands of dollars, and there’s no way most investors can build a portfolio of different property types and in different regions to protect from those risks when you have all your money in just one or two investments.
The key here is not worry about getting picked. Just do it for your enjoyment and satisfaction. Rewards will come to you. You only have to stick to the topic of the blog. Once you've achieved some decent number of followers, you can combine your posts into an ebook and sell it on amazon.com or smashwords.com. Advertise about the book on your blog and social media platforms, give out some special discounts to those who order from your blog and plan to gift a freebie to the first 100 buyers or so. Be creative with it. My first ebook got me 7,000 rupees and I had made it in just 1 day. Imagine if you put more effort into it, you could write a bestseller, dude!
Most of us think of investment income as just the cash flow we get from bank interest, bonds, share dividends and property rents, some of which comes via a super pension. But a more complete view is to also consider how growing the value of your investments can add to your spending potential. This total return approach generates income from both income and growth to optimise spending from your portfolio across all market cycles, aligning cheap and expensive investments to your goals.

The Royal Thai Police (RTP) has tightened checkpoint regulations in a bid to stamp out cop corruption amid the Taiwanese actress scandal. RTP officers have been ordered to be courteous and professional and to wear body cameras while working at checkpoints in the future.
The Commissioner of the RTP, Damrongsak Kittipraphat, held an online conference with police officers across the country yesterday to emphasise the necessary rules and procedures to be followed while on duty at checkpoints.
In response to the money extortion scandal exposed by a Taiwanese actress, An Yu-Qing ( 安于晴), also known as Charlene An, Commissioner Damrongsak made a statement regarding police body cameras. To capture all incidents and provide evidence at checkpoints, every officer on duty must wear a body camera at all times.
Damrongsak stressed that video and audio recordings must be immediately transferred to the computer systems at each police station after the end of duty and securely stored for at least 20 days.
He also stated that unannounced checkpoints will no longer be allowed, and officers must obtain permission from their superintendent or higher-ups and log the checkpoint information in the Thai Police Checkpoint Control (TPCC) system before setting up a checkpoint. Additionally, every officer must wear a uniform while on duty, communicate respectfully with the public, and exhibit friendly behaviour.
Officers must clearly understand the laws and explain them to the residents or motorists as well when issuing any charges against them.
Damrongsak also talked about the practices against foreigners in Thailand or foreign tourists. He said police should avoid asking foreigners to show only their original passports. A copy of a passport or a picture of a passport could be legally used as evidence to prove foreigners’ identities.
The commissioner also urged the superintendent or provincial commissioners to randomly investigate checkpoints to ensure that everything is legal according to the law.
If any scandal or wrongdoing is circulated on Thai social media, both leading officers and fellow officers would be punished without exception.
Damrongsak concluded the meeting with a warning that officers would be punished if they are found to be involved in drug trafficking, illegal gambling dens, online gambling websites, sex services, human trafficking, or any other wrongdoings for their benefit.

Red is the color most often associated with Shintō, believed to offer protection from illnesses and evil spirits.
Hidden away behind Yasukuni Dori, a stone’s throw away from Golden Gai and its many atmospheric bars, is Hanazono Shrine (花園神社), a pocket of stillness amid the tumult of Shinjuku.
Its origins date back to the 17th Century and the early years of the Tokugawa Shogunate, though the shrine has undergone many incarnations since that time. The current concrete structure that houses the main hall was built in 1965. The shrine complex has been freshly renovated and it is dazzling in its redness.

Plastic marine debris adversely affects at least 267 species globally, including 86% of sea turtles, 44% of seabirds and 43% of marine mammals.
Sea turtles readily consume plastic bags because they look so much like jellyfish. And seabirds are prone to ingesting microplastic debris that floats. The ingestion of plastic particles can lead to impairment of feeding due to blockage of the digestive system, decreased mobility, reduction of reproductive capacity, infection, suffocation and starvation.
Enter the plastic hunters of the Cornish Coast. Steve Green and Monika Hertlova have steered their 112-year-old boat into remote and rocky areas of England’s southwest corner to clear it of plastic waste, hauling in more than 44,000 pounds of debris in the past three years.
Green told the New York Times that he was caught in a wind storm and washed up on one of the coastline’s archipelago islands that was filled with dying seabirds and dolphins who were affected by pollution from goods and wreckage of boats. Clean Ocean Sailing was born from that experience and now he and Hertlova are joined by other activists who help clear the plastics out.
A report by the World Economics Forum estimates that the equivalent of a full garbage truck of plastic streams into the oceans every minute.
Clean Ocean Sailing volunteer Simon Myers said in the Times story that helping to clear the plastics gave him a new perspective on water pollution, climate change and overconsumption.
“We know the problem is everywhere,” he told the Times. “It’s happening on our doorstep. It’s coming home to roost.”
Instead of feeling overwhelmed, this group of volunteers hopped into action to save the marine animals on their coastline and that’s certainly something to cheer about.

We’re nearly a third of the way into the Premier League season. Now is a good time to look back at what’s happened so far, and perhaps offer a few insights into who’s done well and who’s already looking at a long hard slog til the end of the year. First, let’s look at the disappointments.
Earlier in the season, I predicted that QPR would struggle. A huge turnover in player numbers (30 out, 20 in) meant there was no team culture and group mentality at the club. Though he has previously done well in galvanising teams, it all proved too much for Mark Hughes, and 3 games ago he was sacked and Harry Redknapp was brought in. 3 draws later, and it’s looking like QPR will need a miracle to stay in the Premier League next season
Martin O’Neill is one of the most respected managers in English football. Sunderland had a decent squad and then made a few big money signings (Adam Johnson and Stephen Fletcher). It wouldn’t have been crazy at the start of the season to think that with a bit of luck, they could have been challenging for Europa League spots. Instead, they are 3rd from bottom and O’Neill is feeling the heat.
Last years surprise package were always going to struggle to repeat the trick. This year, they have never really got going. Injuries to key players have shown that the quality in their squad is pretty shallow, and Toon fans have gone back to disliking manager Alan Pardew. No wonder really, last year they were jostling for 4th, and this year they are 14th.
Most Fulham fans would be happy with a nice cosy mid-table finish with maybe a cup run thrown in. The signing of Dimitar Berbatov gave them a frisson of excitement, and it looked like he might have been the player who pushed The Cottagers into the European qualification slots. Since then however, their form has dipped horribly, winning only 3 of their last 12 games and none of their last 6. It’s starting to look like relegation form.

SPRINGFIELD, MO. -- Of all the possible scenarios anyone could've possibly imagined for Friday's MSHSAA Class 4 semifinal matchup between unheralded Summit High and No. 1-ranked Liberty (MO), most high school baseball experts would've considered the Falcons winning in a blowout over the Blue Jays the least likely choice.
But if you ask the Summit players and coaches, they'd tell you they've felt like the least likely choice all season.
So really, it's little wonder that the Falcons flat walloped the top-ranked team in the state on Friday, 10-3, ending Liberty's season at 27-4, and have now advanced themselves to the Class 4 state championship game, which will be played on Saturday at 4 p.m. at Meador Park.
Seniors Clayton Evans and Brian Quasebarth were the stars of the day for Summit, which was 14-11 heading into district play three weeks ago, but has now won six straight to move to 20-11.
Evans did the work at the plate, with four hits, a run batted in, and two runs scored to lead the offense, while Quasebarth pitched four strong innings (before leaving the game in the fifth), to get the win on the mound.
Summit also got huge help from junior Eric Beisel, who reached base all four times he came to the plate and scored two runs, as well as stellar relief pitching from senior Joey Schenk, who went two innings, and junior Rudy May, who closed out the seventh inninng to preserve the win.
Liberty standout starter Spencer Schwandt, whose headed to Washburn University in Topeka, KS, to pitch next fall, barely survived three innings against the Falcons, who cracked him for five hits and three runs in the second and third innings, then chased him for good with a five-run rally in the fourth.
Beisel and fellow junior Nick Bamvakais got the first rally started with a pair of singles to leadoff the second.
Senior Jacob Manier reached on a misplayed bunt to load the bases with nobody out. Sophomore Ryan Fritz then hit into a double play, but Beisel was still able to scoot home with the first run of the day, and Summit was on its way.
In third inning, Evans and fellow senior Kyle Younger led off with hits, and both eventually scored on RBIs by Matt Kaysinger and Bamvakais.
But the big rally came in the fourth, when Summit pieced together three hits, three walks, and a Liberty error into five runs that broke the game wide open.
The Blue Jays did mount a small rally in the fifth, with three runs that chased Quasebarth from the game.
But Schenk was able to close the door in that inning, and May closed the door for good in the seventh.
Summit will now await the winner of Friday's other semifinal game between local league rival Parkway North and Willard (MO) to find out who they'll play in Saturday's championship game.
At presstime, that game had just begun with no score in the second inning.
Fans can tune in to Patch.com later this evening, to find out who Summit's opponent will be in Saturday's championship game.
We will also have full coverage on Saturday evening of the biggest game in Summit baseball history, as the Falcons play in their first state baseball championship game ever.

Thursday, March 26 (continued)
“Let’s go to the hot springs!”
“C’mere, Reggie. You don’t need that sweater on. ”
I toss Bridget and Reggie into the Perfect Tow Vehicle, put their drink dish on the floor, and run inside the Best Little Trailer.
It’s noontime and the day is warming up nicely. I spread peanut butter on a slice of bread, squeeze honey on it from the plastic bear, slap another slice on top, grab a bottle of water, the camera, and a few other items, and we’re off to the hot springs!
On the way out of Dave Deacon Campground, I note that there still is no sign of the lost dog.
We bump along the washboard road west toward the Grant Mountains.
I park next to an opening in the fence.
“C’mon, doodleheads. . . . I want to see where this trail goes.”
The hot springs pool!
I’ve never seen hot springs before, let alone soaked in any. The first thing I notice is how clear the water is. In the photo below the water is about four feet deep, yet the sandy bottom can be seen perfectly.
I make sure there’s water in the crew’s dish, crack the windows, grab my things, and lock up the PTV.
I don’t own a swimsuit. I’m wearing a black tank top, knee-length jeans, and my waterproof KEEN sandals. I have a towel and a de-tangler comb for my hair.
I set my glasses, keys, towel, and comb on a rock and slide into the pool.
“Oh my gosh! This is so nice! I LOVE this!”
The water comes to my shoulders. By crouching a bit I’m submerged to my chin in delicious warmth. Aaaahh. This is heaven.
I hold my nose and shut my eyes. Under I go, wiggling my head to swirl my hair. I swim from one end of the pool to the other. I doggie-paddle. I float. I crouch-march with only my head out of the water.
After a while I stop playing and look around, listening. . .
The pool is edged with rocks. Upstream and downstream the banks are lined with a thick growth of reeds and dry grass.
It being afternoon, the birds are quiet. Acres and acres of sage. The only people are a few guys fishing quietly somewhere way off.
I wave my arms through the warm water, sweeping forward and back, like a butterfly unfolding its wings to leave the cocoon. The silken warmth caresses my arms. I relax.
I can’t believe how wonderful this is! The warmth, the naturalness, the desert all around, the snowy peaks of the mountains, the perfect silence, heavenly . . . .
Just then a frog downstream croaks and I laugh.
I laugh and I laugh and I laugh. I look up at the cloudless sky, a great dome of blue, and I laugh.
How did I get to this glorious place? Gee, the times I’ve envied those who had swimming pools and here I am in a pool all my own, the perfect temperature, natural . . .
Suddenly my laughter turns to sobs. With warm water up to my chin and wet hands over my face, I cry and cry . . .
The frog croaks and sobs melt into laughter again.
“Thank you, God. Thank you! Thank you for everything you’ve given me!”
I shut my eyes, hold my nose, and let myself fall backwards and under. Rising into a float, I look up at the sky again and vow never to forget this moment, the soothing warmth enveloping me, the wonder and joy of being here.
Okay, now to get out. In a minute . . . Well . . . better go back to the crew. . . The air is about 70 degrees. I’ll grab the towel and make a run for it.
I hoist myself onto the rock, grab my stuff and take off, scrubbing my hair with the towel as I go.
Gee, no shock of cold. Oh boy, I’m going to come here every day. . . I love it!
I reach the parking lot.
I’m not going into that ol’ toilet house. Nobody is here. I can see if someone’s coming a mile off by their dust plume across the desert . . . .
I open the driver’s side door of the PTV, tuck the towel in the slightly opened window to form a screen. Standing with the door open and facing the seat, I whip off my wet top. Before I can slip the sweatshirt over my head, Reggie spies an opportunity.
Two of them actually . . . .
He jumps onto the driver’s seat and zeroes in on my right breast.
“Reggie! Get away, you little devil!” I laugh, pushing him off the driver’s seat. “I’m not yo’ mama!”
Soon we’re bumping along on the washboard road back to camp.
NOTE: Normally I don’t write about things of a religious nature on my blog because of my diverse readership, and I discourage religious discussion in comments in consideration of everyone.
I bent that rule for this post because my gratitude is an important part of the story of this day. I’ll bend the rule for you in comments, too, if you want to respond to the spiritual portion of this post. However, please no preaching, long Bible passages or testimonials. Brevity is the key! Thank you. Sue

'Singing for Better Breathing' Project launched
22 April 2015
The Sidney De Haan Research Centre for Arts and Health has launched a new research project to take place in Lambeth and Southwark in London, continuing their ground breaking research, improving the quality of life for people living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
Previously, the Centre’s research has shown that group singing can improve the health and wellbeing of people living with COPD, a progressive illness which affects around 800,000 people in the UK.
Singing for Better Breathing launch
Singing for Better Breathing , is funded by Guy’s and Thomas’ Health Charity, and aims to continue the work of bring people together to sing and improve their general wellbeing.
The launch took place at the Royal Festival Hall as part of the Southbank Centre’s Chorus’ Festival. COPD singing groups from around the country were invited to sing and find out more about the project.
Professor Stephen Clift, Director of the Sidney De Haan Research Centre, said: “We are delighted to have launched a new community singing group in Lambeth and Southwark for people living with COPD. Our previous groups in Kent have proven to be very successful helping people with COPD to improve breathing and general wellbeing.
“Having launched the Lambeth and Southwark project, our next step will be to work with local GPs to recruit people with COPD to four singing groups in the boroughs. These will start in the late summer and run for one year. Careful monitoring will help us assess the positive impact regular singing has for people with this serious lung condition.”
The findings of a similar study, that took place in Kent, suggested that singing is beneficial to this group, not only for breathing but also in relation to general physical, psychological and social wellbeing.

Dutch telecoms group KPN has invited its shareholders to vote on the proposed sale of German mobile unit E-Plus at an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on 2 October 2013. Last month KPN announced that it had agreed to sell E-Plus to Telefonica Deutschland for EUR5 billion (USD6.6 billion) in cash and a 17.6% stake in the combined entity post transaction. The merger of Germany’s third and fourth largest mobile network operators by subscribers will create a stronger competitor to larger players Telekom Deutschland and Vodafone Germany. Under the terms of the transaction, KPN will transfer 100% of its interest in E-Plus to Telefonica Deutschland for a consideration of EUR3.7 billion in cash and newly issued shares in Telefonica Deutschland, representing 24.9% of the share capital. Simultaneously, Spanish parent Telefonica will acquire a 7.3% interest in Telefonica Deutschland from KPN for a cash consideration of EUR1.3 billion, lifting its total stake to 65.0%, while the remaining 17.4% will be in free float. Telefonica said the deal will result in an operator with 43 million customers and combined revenues of EUR8.3 billion (end of 2012).
Meanwhile, Reuters cites an interview with the head of Germany’s antitrust watchdog in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) as saying that the planned combination of E-Plus and Telefonica will require close scrutiny. ‘It is evident that such a combination would have a considerable impact on competition and will have to be investigated closely in all its facets,’ the Federal Cartel Office’s president Andreas Mundt is quoted as saying.

I believe the difference between me and the typical neurotic personality would be that the neurotic would be unaware of the situation and their irrational need. The central inner conflict may never be entirely resolved but may continue throughout life.
In she published the book The Neurotic Personality of Our Time, which had wide popular readership. The first, born inwas Brigitte Horneywho became a famous actress. Biographical Information Horney was born near Hamburg, Germany. While there, she met a law student named Oscar Horney, whom she married in They pathologically fear being deserted by their partner.
Expansive types also tend to keep people around them. She taught at the New York Medical College and continued practicing as a psychiatrist until her death in The core self is believed to be the natural and healthy state of being that Horneys theory essay our true selves.
He was a ship's captain in the merchant marine, and a Protestant traditionalist his children nicknamed him "the Bible-thrower", as he did indeed throw Bibles. They married in As Horney investigated these neurotic needs, she began to recognize that they can be clustered into three broad coping strategies: Horney had previously focused on the psychiatric concept of narcissism in a book published inNew Ways in Psychoanalysis.
It may also involve a fear of being used, of looking stupid. The Restoration of the Self. That is, there is a need for power, a need for control and exploitation, and a maintenance of a facade of omnipotence. She continually stressed that self-awareness was a part of becoming a better, stronger, richer human being.

She helped them by insights into themselves which had healing power. Who hasn't felt the need to simplify life when it gets too stressful, to join a monastic order, disappear into routine, or to return to the womb?
They are ideals to strive for; their practical value lies in their giving us direction in our therapy and in our lives. The notion of a unified, integrated self exacts a toll: Arguably, the sense that one should feel whole, that the pieces of who one is should fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, is the genesis for much of the feeling that one is conflicted and needs help.
An aggressive coping strategy would involve the need for domination, control, power, and prestige, admiration, and achievement. Horney never developed an adequate taxonomy of the motivations that she actually discussed in her writings, but Maslow's hierarchy of basic needs clarifies much that is implicit in her work.
Her theory shows us that we have at least some capability of analyzing our own mind and inner thoughts to achieve self-actualization.
Janet Sayers argues that although Horney's "rejection of Freud's work in the name of women's self-esteem has certainly inspired many feminists," she herself "was far too much of an individualist ever to engage in collective political struggle—feminist or otherwise.
She added three here because it is crucial to the illusion of total independence and perfection that you limit the breadth of your life! The good is that which fosters self-realization and the bad is that which obstructs it. They say to themselves, "If I have power, no one can hurt me.

Horney had one more way of looking at neurosis -- in terms of self images. For Horney, the self is the core of your being, your potential. If you were healthy, you would have an accurate conception of who you are, and you would then be free to realize that potential (self-realization).
