The Internet Control Message Protocol or ICMP is a transport layer protocol used in TCP/IP networking environments. It is a supporting layer protocol that is used to relay information about connectivity issues or failures in the Internet protocol suite. Therefore, it can be said that the protocol enables TCP/IP to handle errors as all network devices that use TCP/IP have the capability to send, receive or process ICMP messages.
This means network connectivity devices, like routers and switches, also use ICMP to send error messages back to the source devices querying about or using, compromised transmissions.
For example, when a computer sends out a traceroute command, any ICMP errors – like offline devices – are directed back to the source IP address of the querying computer.
Don’t worry; we will have a detailed look at how all this works in a bit.
ICMP is in the same transport layer as IP
We need to take time out here and remind you that ICMP packets are transported over networks in the Data portion of an IP packet.
And yet, although ICMP messages are transported by IP, the ICMP protocol is considered to be at the same level as the IP Protocol – which is in the Network Layer of the OSI Model of Computer Networking.
In the ICMP header we find three fields:
- Type – an 8-bit field that defines the ICMP message type
- Code – an 8-bit field that defines the subtype of the ICMP message
- Checksum – a 16-bit security field used to verify that the message being sent is correct and hasn’t been tampered with
Note that, in the diagram above, the IP and ICMP Headers are both subsets of the whole IP Packet – meaning, the ICMP packet piggybacks on the IP address packet.
Protocol Number 1 – ICMP
ICMP is such an important protocol that the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) – the authority overlooking “the global coordination of the DNS Root, IP addressing, and other Internet protocol resources” – has assigned it “Protocol Number 1” making it only second in importance after Protocol Number 0: HOPOPT (an IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Option).
ICMP error message types
ICMP error messages are divided into two categories: error-reporting messages and query messages.
Examples of error messages are:
|Error type no.||Text Description|
Examples of query messages are:
|Query and Reply type no.||Text description (Query)||Text description (Reply)|
|0 and 08||Echo||Echo Reply|
|09 and 10||Router Solicitation||Router Advertisement|
|13 and 14||Timestamp||Timestamp Reply|
|17 and 18||Address Mask Request||Address Mask Reply|
Just to put it in perspective, the PING utility tool is implemented using the ICMP Echo request (Type 0) and Echo reply (Type 8) messages.
Why was ICMP necessary?
The main reason for the existence of a protocol like ICMP is because TCP/IP does not have an in-built mechanism that sends out (and receives) messages for querying, control, and reporting communication errors. In real life, ICMP offers error control and often it is employed to report errors, send management queries, and operations information.
But, we shouldn’t assume that a reply message is only triggered if a query (or control) command is sent from an origin device because an event can trigger an ICMP message too.
The case in hand would be a Source Quench request. Let’s see what that means:
Let’s say we have Computers “A” and “B” that are in constant communication with one another. And suppose Computer “A” was sending too many queries to Computer “B” – which is struggling to handle the replies.
Now, a Source Quench request is sent by Computer “B” in a bid to tell Computer “A” that it needs to decrease the rate of the queries it is sending. The triggering reason may be that Computer “B” does not have sufficient buffer space to process Computer “A’s” incoming requests. Or perhaps its buffer is approaching its capacity limit.
It, therefore, sends out a message telling the Computer “A” to take it easy on it before a freeze or, worse, a crash occurs.
ICMP and TCP/IP and PING
PING is a network diagnostics tool that we use to find out:
- Whether a device is up and running or not
- If there is a communication between two devices
- The identity or description of a remote device
The PING command sends out an ICMP echo request. This is replied to by the host or targeted device using an ICMP echo reply. This means that, while a PING runs using ICMP protocol, it is not itself an ICMP protocol.
Trivia: Did you know that PING was named after the submarine act of “pinging” another vessel using sonar? A backronym – yes, that’s a proper word – was later created for it: “Packet InterNet Groper.”
When the late Michael John Muuss wrote the PING utility in 1983, it was a reliable indicator of a node’s status on the older Internet – when firewalls were rare or didn’t even exist at all.
But, on today’s networks, it has become a “fairly reliable” diagnostic tool. For instance, an unanswered PING – an ICMP Echo Request with no Echo Reply – does not necessarily mean that a host is down. It could, for example, be that the Echo Request or Echo Reply may have been blocked or filtered on the responding device. This is a common activity these days because, as we will see, hackers can use ICMP to scope out their target networks or even bring them down. That is why some administrators configure their routers to ignore Echo Request and Echo Reply ICMP packets.
ICMP and TCP/IP and traceroute
The traceroute or tracert command is one of the most popular network diagnostics tools. It is easy to run, light on resources, and can give useful feedback.
It uses the ICMP Time Exceeded message to map out a network route – hop by hop.
Here’s how it works:
An administrator sends out a traceroute command addressed to a computer that is on the other side of the world, let’s say. The sent packet includes data like the source and destination IP addresses as well as a TTL (Time To Live) indicator or flag.
- The first Packet sent (P1) goes to the first device in the route with a TTL of 1.
- The device, let’s say it is a router (R1), accepts the packet, subtracts 1 from the TTL making it 0.
- If the deducted TTL were greater than 0, R1 would have forwarded it on to R2 the next router in the network; but since it is 0, it drops the packet, and Echo Replies back to the initial machine informing it about this decision to drop the packet.
- The administrator receives the reply and his computer extracts information like the name, IP address, and RTT that is included in the replying packet and displays it.
- If the intended device has not been reached, a second Packet (P2) is sent out with a TTL of 2. As we have seen above, R1 subtracts 1 from the TTL and forwards P2 (with TTL 1) to the next connecting device, i.e. R2, which also subtracts one from TTL, realizes it is now a TTL of 0, drops the packet and Echo Replies back to the source device with this information.
- This process keeps repeating until the final device – the destination host is contacted.
Therefore, the TTL field is used to avoid routing loops – every time a packet passes through a router, the router decrements the TTL value by 1. If the TTL reaches 0 before the targeted destination host is “hopped,” the router drops the packet and sends an ICMP Time Exceeded message back to the original sender. This is like saying, “I couldn’t reach the device within the allocated TTL – which is defaulted to 30 hops.”
And so, this is all repeated over and over 30 times or until the addressed device is reached – or not depending on the number of hops and whether the device can be located – following which the traceroute command exits.
Note: We will see what routing loops are in a bit. For now, just think of it as a packet bouncing back and forth – non-stop – between two routers.
In the end, the administrator will be able to see the number of hops to the destination server, the round-trip times (RTTs) for each hop, and the name and IP addresses of the devices along the route.
Finally, we need to remember that the protocol used for traceroute isn’t always ICMP. While Windows uses ICMP echo requests, UNIX-like operating systems use UDP packets – but, the response is always sent back using ICMP protocol, regardless of the operating system.
A little bit about the error messages returned by ICMP
We have seen that the ICMP protocol is used for message transport, reply, and communication over a network. We have also seen a few examples like:
- Echo Request and its corresponding Echo Reply are used in PING
- An overflow of packets is addressed using the Source Quench message to slow down the rate of incoming data traffic to prevent a looming crash or packet loss
- A Destination Unreachable message indicates that a destination device is, well, unreachable
- Changed routes are announced using a Redirect message
But, there’s more…
Request timed out
The result of a trace to singingdetective.com where the 11th hop isn’t responding – whether because it is intentionally configured to do so, or not – and triggered a “Request timed out,” would look like this:
This is different from the routing loop we mentioned earlier. Let’s have a look at that now…
A routing loop occurs when routers – which are usually misconfigured – pass packets to one another in a continuous, non-ending loop.
In the example above, the ICMP packets are being looped around between router 22.214.171.124 and router 10.55.41.129 – and with routers 10.64.4.205 and 10.55.41.128 thrown into the looping mix. This is what is known as a routing loop.
The fallout from such a routing loop is:
- Packets that you can’t get rid of forever – while ICMP packets will get dropped after the maximum number of hops has been reached (remember: the default is 30), there are protocol packets that will continue to ping around in the loop forever; a good example is Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP), a routing protocol commonly used between hosts on the Internet to exchange routing table information
- Over-consumption of bandwidth – as the number of the packets that are ping-ponging between the routers increases, the network’s performance will start to depreciate; this issue could grow out of control and affect the whole network’s performance
- Unreachable hosts – any traceroute packets sent over this network will fail to reach their destinations; communication will be near impossible if packets have to rely solely on these routers
The ICMP rules
As useful as the ICMP protocol is, there are some important rules that it must abide by. There are also rules that are imposed on the protocol to make sure that it doesn’t negatively affect a network’s performance.
Here are a few examples:
- No special priority – ICMP has no special privileges and has to pass on as a “lowly” packet; this is just to make sure that a flood of ICMP packets won’t slow a network down
- No self-replying – an ICMP reply message can’t be sent in response to an ICMP query message; in fact, no ICMP message can be sent as a response to another one because this would create a non-stop back-and-forth of ICMP messages creating an ICMP message, creating an ICMP… and so on, ad infinitum…
- No response to multiple traffic – an ICMP message can’t be sent in response to traffic that comes from multicasts, broadcasts, loopbacks, or invalid addresses
- No guarantee of delivery – as we have seen in examples above, some administrators might consider them to be a nuisance and configure their devices to ignore or even block them; this means the packets could end up lost or dropped making it a rather unreliable diagnosis tool
With all this being said, every precaution has been taken to make ICMP a safe, useful protocol that can be an effective tool in network issue troubleshooting. But, unfortunately, there are still ways it can be abused, as we shall see next.
The malicious side of ICMP
Believe it or not, hackers can use ICMP packets to wreak havoc on your network. One way of doing this is by launching a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. They can use three ways to cripple – or even crash – your network:
- ICMP flood attack – here the attacker will try to send so many pings at your device until it can no longer handle all the ICMP echo request messages that are being sent its way; the sheer amount of processing power required to handle the requests alone will hog all the resources making it impossible for the device to stay online, let alone do anything else
- Ping of Death attack – in this case, the attacker will send an extremely large ping to a device that can’t handle it with the intention of freezing (or even crashing) it due to buffer overflows
- Smurf Attack – in this attack, ICMP packets that have fake or spoofed IP addresses (of the intended victim) are sent to another device or server with a broadcast IP address; when the broadcasted ICMP echo replies are sent from the devices on the other side of the broadcast, they will bombard the victim’s server because that is the IP address they will be forwarded to
Modern networks and online devices are much more robust, have huge processing powers, and have been made to resist these sorts of malicious attacks. But, that doesn’t mean the attacks haven’t occurred – and will probably continue to occur – in recent times.
That’s all about ICMP
And there you have it; you now have a clear picture about ICMP and all the wonderful things it can do to help troubleshoot network issues.

Imagine a Florida where a set of state regulations governed key issues now decided locally.
Let’s take an example: noise ordinances.
Currently, each municipality and county in Florida determines its own noise ordinance. What works in Stuart or Vero Beach may not work in Port St. Lucie or Melbourne. State law allows each local government to decide this issue – and many similar issues – for itself.
Such autonomy derives from the principle of autonomy — the right of local governments, based on input from constituents, to establish their own ordinances, regulations and future plans.
The domicile rule is prescribed in Florida statutes (i.e. 125.01 and 166.021). This is one of the reasons why our communities are different from each other. Local authorities have the power to regulate building codes, zoning ordinances, bar closing times, location of adult businesses and height restrictions, to name a few.
But what if some – or many – statutory rights were pre-empted by the state?
Hopefully we never have to find out.
This almost came to fruition during the legislative session last spring. A bill introduced by State Rep. Randy Fine, R-Palm Bay, would have prevented local governments from adopting or imposing new regulations on businesses, professions or occupations unless those rules n have already been expressly authorized.
Fortunately, House Bill 17 failed.
Nevertheless, the 2017 legislature passed eight new laws that hamper the ability of local authorities to develop local regulations. And lawmakers seem set to do the same in the session that begins in January.
Consequently, local officials across Florida are speaking out against the precipitous erosion of autonomy.
“Efforts are underway at the state level to cut community redevelopment agencies and eliminate some of our revenue without replacing it,” said Stuart Mayor Troy McDonald, a strong supporter of self-reliance. “I strongly believe that the most responsive government starts with people at the local level and moves forward.”
Officials like McDonald’s have reason to be concerned.
It appears House Speaker Richard Corcoran, R-Land O’Lakes, has set his sights on diminishing autonomy. Corcoran championed HB 17, as well as House Bill 13, which would have targeted community redevelopment agencies for reform and, ultimately, extinction.
HB 13 failed to pass the muster in the previous session, but Corcoran promised to bring it back in the next session.
CRAs are special districts created by local governments to rehabilitate degraded areas. While there is reason to argue that targeted reforms to ARC programs are needed, it would be a legislative overreach to eliminate them altogether.
Perhaps also on the legislative block: the (already limited) ability of local governments to regulate short-term vacation rentals.
Then, coming in November 2018, a proposed constitutional amendment — put on the ballot by the Legislature — that would expand the state property tax exemption from $50,000 to $75,000. If approved by voters, it would cost local governments, which would lose about $752 million in revenue in year one, rising to $816 million in year five.
There is a lot of hypocrisy at the state level when it comes to the issue of autonomy. Florida lawmakers often rail against federal excesses and unfunded mandates imposed on the state by lawmakers in Washington, D.C. Yet those same state lawmakers have little to no reservations about imposing restrictions. more important to local governments.
There is also a geographical argument to be made here.
Currently, local residents can bring their concerns about local issues directly to their respective city council or county commission and get a hearing. But where do these same residents go in the absence of autonomy, when problems are determined solely at the state level?
It is far from the Treasure Coast.
Democracy is belittled when the alternative is a single form of governance controlled by distant bureaucrats.
No one knows a local community better than its local elected officials. And of the three groups of officials — that is, federal, state, and local — no one is more accessible to local residents than local officials. Therefore, common sense suggests that we preserve the authority of this group to provide primary governance at the local level.
The Florida League of Cities, in its legislative agenda for the upcoming session, has identified the preservation of local autonomy as its number one priority.
“The League anticipates that legislative efforts to disenfranchise citizens and transfer control of local decisions to the state legislature will continue into the 2018 legislative session,” the document said.
The Florida legislature should cease its efforts to overthrow the domestic regime.
The trampling of local autonomy is contrary to the spirit of democracy.

Where did German immigrants to the United States tend to settle?
Cities of the Midwest Cities along the Great Lakes, the Ohio River, and the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers attracted a large German element.
The Midwestern cities of Milwaukee, Cincinnati, St.
Louis, Chicago were favored destinations of German immigrants..
Why did the Irish settle in America?
Pushed out of Ireland by religious conflicts, lack of political autonomy and dire economic conditions, these immigrants, who were often called “Scotch-Irish,” were pulled to America by the promise of land ownership and greater religious freedom. … Many Scotch-Irish immigrants were educated, skilled workers.
Why did Irish immigrants tend to settle in cities?
Because of discrimination, the Irish-Catholic immigrants tended to stay together in small communities—or “ghettos.” They sought refuge in religion and began to donate to their local parishes to build schools and churches.
Why did the Irish leave Ireland?
Although the Irish potato blight receded in 1850, the effects of the famine continued to spur Irish emigration into the 20th century. Still facing poverty and disease, the Irish set out for America where they reunited with relatives who had fled at the height of the famine.
What happened to immigrants when they arrived at Ellis Island?
Despite the island’s reputation as an “Island of Tears”, the vast majority of immigrants were treated courteously and respectfully, and were free to begin their new lives in America after only a few short hours on Ellis Island. Only two percent of the arriving immigrants were excluded from entry.
Why is Boston so Irish?
People of Irish descent form the largest single ethnic group in Boston, Massachusetts. Once a Puritan stronghold, Boston changed dramatically in the 19th century with the arrival of European immigrants. The Irish dominated the first wave of newcomers during this period, especially following the Great Irish Famine.
Did the Irish built America?
Irish immigrants built America: Across the 18th and 19th centuries, the Irish helped build America, both as a country and as an idea. Physically, from the skyscrapers of Manhattan to the mines of Montana, this nation’s infrastructure bears an indelible Irish imprint.
How were the Irish immigrants treated in America?
The Irish often had no money when they came to America. So, they settled in the first cities in which they arrived. They crowded into homes, living in tiny, cramped spaces. A lack of sewage and running water made diseases spread.
When were the Irish accepted in America?
It is estimated that as many as 4.5 million Irish arrived in America between 1820 and 1930. Between 1820 and 1860, the Irish constituted over one third of all immigrants to the United States. In the 1840s, they comprised nearly half of all immigrants to this nation.
What was another factor that led Irish immigrants to the United States?
Famine and political revolution in Europe led millions of Irish and German citizens to immigrate to America in the mid-nineteenth century.
Where did Mexican immigrants typically settle?
Mexican immigrants mainly settle in “traditional” destination states like California and Texas, which combined are home to well over half of this group.
Where did most of the Irish immigrants settle quizlet?
Irish immigrants usual settled in towns and cities in Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, while the Germans often settled in rural areas in midwestern states (Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin) to farm.
Where did most Irish immigrants come from?
Half of the Irish immigrants to the United States in its colonial era (1607–1775) came from the Irish province of Ulster while the other half came from the other three provinces of Ireland (Leinster, Munster, and Connacht).
How did the Irish immigration affect America?
The Irish Great Famine’s Effect on The U.S. Economy was substantial. … This comprised 43% of all foreign born population of the United States at the time. New York saw the largest amount of Irish immigration and by 1855, 26% of population in Manhattan was Irish and by 1900 that percentage had risen to 60%.
Where did most Scots settle in America?
North CarolinaMore than 50,000 Scots, principally from the west coast, settled in the Thirteen Colonies between 1763 and 1776, the majority of these in their own communities in the South, especially North Carolina, although Scottish individuals and families also began to appear as professionals and artisans in every American town.

text: During the Cultural Revolution, Chinese theater and cinema were limited to productions of “model works,” ideological operas commissioned by Madam Mao; three decades after that calamitous period, propaganda pieces like The Red Women’s Detachment are being revived onstage in a much different China. This 2005 documentary from the Netherlands presents some lively clips from old film versions, and surviving artists sadly recall the dogmatic contraints of the era. Despite the fascinating topic, director Yan-ting Yuen offers relatively little history or criticism of the works themselves, squandering screen time on such gimmicks as mock voice-over and scenes of young people performing hard-rock and hip-hop versions of vintage songs. It’s enough to make you pine for the good old days when irony was illegal. 85 min.

Vice President Mike Pence sat down for an interview to discuss the biggest tax reform since the 1980s, during a day when multiple US companies announced that they would be immediately handing out bonuses to American workers as a Christmas bonus, just as President Trump had promised.
The Indiana native stated that the passing of the tax reform bill was obviously a 'middle-class miracle' and that he and President Donald Trump are 'just getting started.'

With 3% growth and new US stock market highs week on week, Mr Pence hoped that the public could accept that economic foresight and planning of the current White House administration was absolutely working.
“To be here for the largest tax cut in the history of the country, the kind of tax reform we haven't seen for 31 years, and at the same time to repeal the individual mandate in Obamacare and open up ANWR to environmentally responsible drilling is just humbling for me to be a part of.”
“When the American people start to see more in their paychecks in February, they're going to start to realize that the president's vision, is going to sell itself.”
In the interview with Fox News' Laura Ingraham, Mr Pence stressed, as he always does, that his was only a small part and that it was 'humbling' to have played a part in the greatest tax reform bill ever.

The tax reform bill also included legislation which will allow oil drilling and other energy development in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, lifting a development ban that had been in place for the past 40 years, thus creating more American jobs.
Lastly, Mr Pence stated once again his surprise that none of the Democrats were willing to vote for lower taxes and said he was “very grateful for the president's strong leadership.”

The fall season is really an amazing season to enjoy the cool weather and beautiful scenery. For celebrating the new season, we need to do many things, and the first and most important thing for us to do is the nail design. We need the fall nail designs to say goodbye to the hot summer season.
There are so many gorgeous nail designs for the fall season, and there are so many different nail shapes for the fall season nail designs too. You can have the glitter nail designs with the square nail shape or the coffin nail shape. If you are still looking for the fall nail designs to make you look elegant, then you should check our collection with us.
1.Square Fall Nail Designs
The square nail is really nice because the nail shape is the same like the our natural nail, and with the fall nail color and nail designs on, you will look very stunning. The glitters on the nail tips or the rhinestones on the bottom of the nails, then you will know how amazing they look like.
2.Coffin Fall Nail Designs
The fall coffin nail are very nice too. With the long coffin nail, then you can have any nail designs, but the nail color should be the fall season nail color. With the rhinestones on the nail and the burgundy nail color which are so perfect for the fall season.
3.Stiletto Fall Nail Designs
The stiletto nail are very dramatic, and then you can have the fall nail color with the stiletto nail shape, they will perfect match each other.


When one thinks of a spacecraft, images of star destroyers from Star Wars, the Enterprise from Star Trek, and the Discovery One from 2001: A Space Odyssey may come to mind. A contemporary view includes NASA's space shuttles and the Russian Soyuz series. But early satellites such as Voyager (USA), Sputnik (Russia) and Anik A1 (Canada) were also considered spacecrafts in their day. For the purpose of this article, we'll take a look at the requirements of a modern day manned spacecraft, capable of achieving launch from a planetary body as well as space travel.
In order for a spacecraft to launch, it must be capable of generating enough thrust to overcome the planetary gravity well and achieve escape velocity. Although aerodynamics is important while in the atmosphere, they are meaningless once the spacecraft is in space. Airplanes achieve flight based on the movement of air over their wings; at high altitudes they require more thrust due to air density and every airplane has a maximum ceiling. A rocket can provide the thrust required for a spacecraft, but requires considerable fuel. Early fuels were often dangerous; the Saturn rocket series used an extremely volatile liquid oxygen fuel source. Later advances in the Titan rocket program lead to a binary fuel, which ignited when nitrogen tetroxide and hydrazine were combined. This fuel source was toxic and expensive, and lead to liquid hydrogen and the eventual development of refined petroleum (RP-1).
The main concerns with fuel are threefold: the mass of the propellant, the volume of the propellant, and the specific impulse of the propellant. The complex equation constantly being juggled by rocket scientists is what is the best fuel choice based on mission parameters, payload mass and budget restrictions. A highly effective fuel source such as liquid hydrogen is expensive and requires tremendous amounts of room in booster rockets, while RP-1, although less efficient in terms of specific impulse, is seven times denser.
The choice of fuel affects cost and ultimately available payload. A reusable spacecraft design usually incorporates booster rockets for launch, which separate as exhausted, and rely on the spacecraft being able to reenter the atmosphere by its own means. Propellant needs to be reserved for maneuvering while travelling in space; any design would need to accommodate extra fuel (and its mass) for this task. Launching again from a foreign planetary body (such as Mars) would require establishing a fuel source on that planet.
The payload refers to the mass of the astronauts, all equipment and cargo, and the spacecraft itself. Although weight may disappear in space, mass is a constant. Mass constrains the launch parameters, and dictates fuel requirements. Mass is also critical for all flight path adjustments while underway; and it effects the amount of propellant required for maneuvers. A design principle for payload consideration is to always minimize load based on mission objectives. Therefore, the purpose of the mission (space tourism, orbit, interplanetary travel) is critical for designing the spacecraft accordingly. This is why the goal of a reusable, multi-purpose spacecraft is so elusive. It is often better to design for a specific purpose than for all possible intentions.
Any design will include computer automation, but a spacecraft is mission critical. All systems must be redundant in case of failure. They should be distributed to minimize load and maximize available processor time. They must be able to monitor all hardware systems in real time, and provide reports, updates and alerts as necessary. They must be accessible by both the crew and mission control, remotely updatable, and based on fault tolerant software. Dedicated interfaces should be separate to reduce chance of confusion. Multiple access stations within the ship are required in case a section becomes uninhabitable and control needs to be shunted to a different part.
Life Support Systems
An adequate oxygen supply is mandatory for survival. Oxygen can be retrieved from carbon dioxide emissions; CO2 scrubbers are a requirement for the design. Due to the potential for muscle loss and bone deterioration while on an extended space mission, exercise equipment must be available for reconditioning and medical support systems must be present to monitor crew health. Medical supplies must be abundant to treat common illnesses.
Water from urine? Say it's not so! Well, this is the norm for a space traveler. A spacecraft must have in its design a comprehensive waste reclamation and recycling system. Core materials that can be reused represent less payload. Organic waste can be composted. The spacecraft design should include a comprehensive liquid waste decontamination, purification and distribution system.
Environmental controls ensure the pressurized cabins of the spacecraft can maintain a habitable environment within the hostile confines of space. Temperature and humidity must be regulated to be within safe, comfort zones. A spacecraft design should include lighting control (dimming to night, brightening to day) to help the crew adjust and maintain schedules on extended voyages.
On short trips, such as a jaunt to the International Space Station, renewable food sources aren't required. Food can be vacuum packed to reduce weight and volume, and nutrient supplements ensure a balanced diet. On a long trip, growing one's own food may be the only way to survive. It doesn't take much: space seeds are pre-germinated and minimal in volume and it also allows for a varied diet. Carnivores beware though, for the lack of meat will require alternative protein sources.
Heat insulation and Radiation shielding
Spacecrafts are exposed to the extremes: the frigid coldness of space, the extreme heat of launch and re-entry into the atmosphere, and the constant inundation of cosmic radiation. The spacecraft must be designed to shield and insulate the occupants. Radiation is often unstoppable, but the worst of forms can be effectively shielded or dramatically reduce through the use of various barriers in the insulation of the skin of the spacecraft. Heat must be disbursed to protect the craft, and ablative heat tiles on the outer hull can be used for this purpose.
A spacecraft design must incorporate landing mechanisms for in atmosphere (Earth, Mars) and potentially for out of atmosphere (the Moon). Russian Soyuz capsules plunge through Earth's atmosphere until they can deploy parachutes; American space shuttles glide on predetermined glide-paths to make smooth picturesque runway landings. Landing on Mars, where the atmosphere is much thinner, or on the moon, where there is no atmosphere require different considerations. For the moon, propellant could be used to navigate and land the craft as long as there is enough propellant to reach escape velocity upon launch. For Mars, the lack of pre-existing infrastructure means a wheel landing is out of the question; a combination of propellant and chutes may resolve the problem. The mars rover probe used a unique "bounce" landing approach, where inflated spheres absorbed the impact and cushioned the gear. However a manned spacecraft contains precious cargo: handle with care.
Designing the Spacecraft of the Future
The elements outlined in this article, although critical, are only a subset of all the considerations necessary for a spacecraft design. Scientists and science lovers have been considering the design a challenging problem for decades. With continual advances, demand for space tourism and an inherent yearning to explore the stars, this is an area bound to be realized in the near future.

Honey-Mustard Roast Chicken with Winter Vegetables
Root vegetables and honey-mustard-glazed chicken are roasted together for layer upon layer of intense flavor, with very little added fat. If your parsnips are large and have spongy or woody centers, cut out the cores before slicing.
- 6 small all-purpose potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, cut into wedges
- 6 medium carrots, halved lengthwise and cut into 2-inch slices
- 3 medium parsnips, peeled, quartered lengthwise and cut into 2-inch slices
- 1 head garlic, separated into cloves and peeled
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 2 1/2-3 pounds bone-in chicken pieces, skin removed
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary, plus 2 teaspoons chopped rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a large roasting pan with cooking spray.
- Combine potatoes, carrots, parsnips, garlic and oil in the roasting pan. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper; toss well. Season chicken with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper and place, skinned-side down, in the center of the pan with rosemary sprigs. Sprinkle with chopped rosemary. Roast the chicken and vegetables for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine mustard and honey in a small bowl.
- Turn the chicken over and stir the vegetables. Brush the chicken with honey-mustard mixture. Continue roasting, stirring vegetables once or twice, until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender, 25 to 35 minutes more. (If the chicken is done before the vegetables, remove and keep warm while vegetables finish cooking.) Serve immediately.

Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 375
Weisheng Cangyuan laughed heartily and said, "Jun Shengxiao, you've never lost even once in your entire life. I bet you didn't think your first loss would be so dire!"
Behind him stood many experts from the Southsky Sect, all of them outside the barrier.
"You’ll never take the Grand-Orient Realm! Who do you think you are to force others to submit to you and use them as cannon fodder? You thought you held fate itself in your hands. Now, I'm sure you just realized what kind of mistake you've made. You deserve all of this for not caring about the people you want to give their lives for you! This is the karmic retribution you've earned after decades of ruthless domination!"
Weisheng Cangyuan was on top of the world. He loved seeing people suffering the punishments they deserved. Who was it that had fanned the flames of war and bullied other sects in the first place? None other than the Elysian Emperor!
"Jun Shengxiao, come fight us! We of the Southsky Sect don't fear you! If you don't plan on coming, don't bother approaching. Stay there like a cowardly mutt! I, Weisheng Cangyuan, look down on you!"
The surroundings rumbled with the laughter of the countless members of Southsky Sect. It cut sharper than any knife ever could have.
"Shut up!" Many people from Heaven's Elysium raged, but that only served to expose their positions. It was the worst shame they had felt ever!
"Heaven's Elysium is nothing but a bunch of cowardly bastards! Why are you on my doorstep? Are you stray dogs begging for food?"
Laughter filled the surroundings once more. Even though Heaven's Elysium's army had twice their number at a hundred and eighty thousand people, their morale was at rock bottom, having suffered the loss of a third of their entire sect. If they were to force an attack on the Southsky Sect now, not only would they fail, but they would pay a heavy price—at least a hundred thousand more deaths! Not to mention, the Southsky Sect's morale was at an all-time high.
"We can't fall for their trap! The moment the other two sects come to reinforce them, we'll lose even more!" Despite saying that, losing seventy thousand was already far beyond what the Elysian Emperor could tolerate.
"Oh? You're not attacking then? Can I assume you're here to beg?" Who could have expected the once-arrogant Heaven's Elysium would suffer such humiliation? Every one of them was fuming with rage. "Those who like to mock are often mocked themselves. Jun Shengxiao, drag your ass back from whence you came! Oh, wait, a cowardly tortoise like you probably already has its ass in its shell! There's nowhere for you to drag it back to!" Weisheng Cangyuan laughed loudly once more.
"Kill the Southsky Sect and Weisheng Cangyuan!"
"Flatten the Southsky Sect!"
The Elysium purifiers were so enraged that their mouths were on the edge of turning into bloody fountains. Everyone turned their gaze to the shamed Elysian Emperor. Would he really swallow the humiliation without retaliation?
The Elysian Emperor raised his head and wiped the trace of blood off of his mouth, having calmed down. Then he raised his hands and announced, "Retreat to Heaven's Elysium!"
"Huh?" All the Elysium purifiers were dumbstruck. While they knew their sect was on the verge of extinction for the first time in a millennium, with the achievements of their forebears nearly all wiped out, were they really going to leave like beaten dogs?
"I didn't think they'd run after having their dignity stomped on. How unseemly."
"Go back home and eat dogshit!"
Mockery and laughter came from the Southsky Sect's side once more as the hundred-and-eighty-thousand-strong army retreated, leaving behind a trail of tears of humiliation. They had come all this way only to leave without doing anything.
Weisheng Cangyuan's words never rang truer than they did now: those who like to mock are often mocked themselves. Heaven's Elysium had always operated like they owned the place and had no regard for others, yet they had forgotten that beasts driven to desperation often bit back. And this time around, the bite tore open their jugulars.
Heaven's Elysium had grown complacent throughout their millennium of supremacy. And now, they were being paid back the debt of pain they had inflicted upon others.
An army of bright white and gold were solemnly retreating. Atop a snow-white divine dragon sat the Elysian Emperor and his son, Jun Niancang, facing each other. The winds blew strongly, causing their long hair to flutter. The two of them seemed calm, as if they had already snapped out of the shock.
"Father, everything will go back to normal, right? We'll slaughter all these pigs, right?" Jun Niancang asked.
"That's right." This was something he had promised his son some time ago. "They were right. All my life I have only lost just this once. This lesson has truly come with an enormous price, but there won't be a second loss."
Jun Shengxiao watched the vast expanse of the realm with a cold gaze; he was the epitome of calm.
"Father, I have someone to introduce to you," Jun Niancang said.
"Yuan Hun of the Earthorigin Sect."
"I was just about to seek him out!" the Elysian Emperor said, his eyes glowing.
"There’s nothing more flattering than to be sought after by the Elysian Emperor himself," someone said as he came onto the white dragon. The figure was dressed in a long, black robe and he seemed so frail and slender that he almost resembled a wraith. He had a pair of green eyes that glowed like wisps in the dark, giving him an eerie appearance.
"Greetings, Elysian Emperor," said the figure with his hands raised in salute. His palms were as bony as his frame suggested.
"Long time no see, Yuan Hun. Why didn't you come visit Heaven's Elysium to rest up, since you were here in the Grand-Orient Realm?" The Elysian Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, seeming far calmer than before. Only those who could resist humiliation and still act casually were fit to aspire to greatness. If it were anybody else, they wouldn't have ordered their troops to retreat, on account of the dignity they would lose, not to mention regaining their rationality in the depths of humiliation.
"You were busy unifying the realm, Elysian Emperor, yet this lowly one was only taking a leisurely trip. I wouldn't dare to impose."
"We lost too horribly this time. I hope it at least made for an entertaining show," Jun Shengxiao replied jokingly.
"My condolences. To be honest, even I never could've imagined Li Wudi would achieve such heights."
"There's no need to bring up the past. Did Yuan Chen tell you what my intentions are?"
"What do you think of it? Or rather, what does the Earthorigin Sect think of it?"
"Shall I be frank?"
"If you’re willing to cede the hundred and thirty countries the Cloudmist Sword Sect controls to the Earthorigin Sect, we’ll send our own to directly occupy the land. We'll also bring a hundred sect elders and a hundred and fifty thousand Earthorigin defenders to your aid until you unify the Grand-Orient Realm!"
"That is a staggering demand indeed, for your side to demand a fifth of the Grand-Orient Realm's territory," Jun Shengxiao said with an intense look.
"Elysian Emperor, that is a reductive way of putting it at best. We’re willing to send so many of our own to fight to their deaths by your side. That entails great risk for us. As such, nobody will come without a reward. Not to mention, with the Cloudmist Sword School crippled, not even you would be able to hold such a large border.
"Considering the fact that they’re located just at the border of Earthorigin Realm, our sect is just next door. As you may know, the Earthorigin Sect is always serious and never haggles. Not to mention, you’re our friend and ally, so we’re willing to take some losses for a friend. I wonder what you think about the points I've highlighted?" Yuan Hun finished with his eyes letting out a glowy pulse.
"Haha…." The Elysian Emperor waved his hand and asked, "When are you sending your troops out?" It was a sign of his agreement.
"Oh, the Elysian Emperor sure is decisive. The ceding of territory has to first be officiated by the Theocracy of the Ancients. Once you notify the Divine Capital about ceding the territory to us and get their authorization, we’ll immediately send out our troops." Yuan Hun seemed well prepared.
"Then it'll be a month, at least. Perhaps even three months."
"Oh? Will the timing be an issue?" Yuan Hun asked.
"Haha, I can't even guess. However, I look forward to the day you unite the Grand-Orient Realm and fulfill your destiny!"
All the while, Jun Niancang watched silently from the sidelines. He knew that the Grand-Orient Realm had never had any territory ceded in the past ten thousand years. Now that his father was the new ruler of the realm, he was forced to rely on the Earthorigin Sect and hand over a fifth of the realm's territory. Was that really what an Elysian Emperor should do? Or was it an act of a traitor of the realm?
Though Jun Niancang had no answer for that, he understood one thing: his father and sect were definitely not in a state of calm. While he still seemed to be able to chat and laugh, the loss he’d suffered had caused his mind to erupt like a volcano.
The battle had ended not long ago. One of the Grand-Orient guardians Ye Shaoqing had sent to Vermillion Bird returned with a letter addressed to Tianming. It looked like his mother's handwriting.
"I was just back at Ignispolis. I wonder why mom's writing to me so soon?"
Upon opening the letter, it read, 'Tianming, after Uncle Yang's lifebound beast evolved into a saint beast, he has considerably grown in power. We want to travel around and see the world with our own eyes. Next time we meet, you'll have to start calling Uncle Yang your dad. P.S. don't miss me too dearly, alright?'
Tianming felt his head spin after he finished reading it. "Gosh, isn't this too abrupt?" His expression was one of total dumbfoundment. "They hooked up? Damn, what about my biological father, Li Muyang? Did he just get cucked? Man, the world of adults sure is messed up!"
It took him quite a while to properly calm down. The guardian told him that Mu Yang and Wei Jing had left after bidding farewell. With him protecting his mother, she should be quite safe, but….
"How can she just hook up with another man like that? She didn't give me any time to get used to it! Well, it's Li Muyang's fault that he left my mom alone for two whole decades! He deserves to wear a green hat!"
He decided he wouldn't stick his hand into his mothers affairs. It was her decision to make, and twenty years was probably plenty long enough for her to move on. As for Li Muyang, Tianming didn't think too much about him, for he hadn't even met him once.
Well, he would let things take their course. At the very least, he trusted Wei Jing to be someone who thought through huge decisions like that.

On the heels of Florida's Republican Sec. of State Ken Detzner blocking the usage of the student union at the University of Florida in Gainesville as an early voting site for the upcoming March special election, local Republican election officials elsewhere in the state are also working to reduce access to the voting booth this year (for certain voters).
In the public comment section of the meeting, all ten speeches strongly opposed the move. Representatives of the local NAACP and Southern Christian Leadership Council warned that the cuts would decrease voter turnout because voters would have to travel further to a polling place, especially among the elderly and people without cars, and noted that the cuts disproportionately affected minority-heavy precincts.
Bennett assured the commission that if lines are longer in 2014 as a result of these changes, he would ask them to revisit the decision in 2015, before the 2016 elections.
Manatee's Supervisor of Elections Bennett, as Israel points out, is no stranger to voter suppression. In fact, he seems to rather love it. While serving as a State Senator in 2011, he endorsed a Republican bill to limit early voting during the 2012 Presidential election by explaining: "I wouldn't have any problem making it harder. I would want them to vote as badly as I want to vote. I want the people of the state of Florida to want to vote as bad as that person in Africa who's willing to walk 200 miles...This should not be easy."
Hmmm..."That person in Africa". Just a common turn of phrase, apparently.
That 2011 bill was eventually passed, signed by Florida's Republican Gov. Rick Scott and successfully created hours-long lines for (certain) voters in the Sunshine State in 2012.
As we noted in our coverage last week of SoS Detzner's recent refusal to allow thousands of UF students to vote early at their own student union --- forcing the many car-less students to try and vote at a polling location five miles away instead --- both Scott and his hand-picked Sec. of State "had once pretended to be embarrassed about the long lines they caused (and refused to correct) at the polls during the 2012 election".
Those days of pretending to give a damn about voting rights must be over for some Florida Republicans, however, particularly with Scott up for re-election this year and his polling numbers looking fairly bleak against his likely challenger, former Republican Governor turned Democratic candidate Charlie Crist.

Turkish Stuffed Vine Leaves – Dolma
Recipe via turkishfoodie.com

Süzme Yoğurt Tatlısı (Yoghurt Cake)
Recipe via droetker.com.tr
When it comes to Turkish cuisine, what do the people of Turkey not do with yogurt? The answer is…not a lot. A simple and light cake, a little like a cheesecake and an egg souffle. It’s wonderfully creamy and fluffy at the same time thanks for folded beaten egg whites mixture into the batter, and the semolina as a base. Why not serve this with grated coconut, yogurt, or pistachio ice cream.
Recipe via mrfood.com
Baklava is a very old pastry. Many ethnic groups with ancestry going back to the Middle East claim the origin of this luscious pastry. The historical documentation is not solid, yet there is strong evidence that its origin comes from Central Asian Turkic tribes. The recipe may sound too easy to be true – chopped nuts are spread in between the phyllo (filo) layers, dressed with butter/olive oil, baked, and sweetened with sugar syrup. Before you enjoy the baklava it needs to sit in sugar syrup for at least half a day or overnight.
Turkish Dessert Tulumba
Recipe via mygreekdish.com
Turkish tulumba is a hot water dough fritter traditionally found in the cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire, particularly throughout the Middle East and the Balkans. Tulumba was named after a special tool used to make it – a kind of syringe with a star-shaped nozzle. These deep-fried, crisp-shelled treats deliver a serious kick of sugar as they are soaked in thick, sometimes lemon-flavored syrup. This classic Turkish dessert has become one of the most popular street foods and perfects to try at home for the family.

Deanna Joseph a NJ mother with a history of drugs and child neglect arrests is arrested after her two year old daughter strangles herself while her mother got high.
Deanna J. Joseph a 39 year old Alloway Township, New Jersey mother of four has been arrested after allegedly getting high in her parked car leaving her two year old toddler daughter to die in the rear seat.
Notice of the child’s death came after Joseph, who’d left her daughter unattended for hours on Saturday finally came round after allegedly using heroin only to realize her daughter was unresponsive.
Despite calling paramedics circa 9.45pm the child was declared dead after getting her head caught in the back seat belt and suffocating.
‘It appeared the child was confined in a car seat for an extended period of time while the mother was under the influence of drugs, and may have injured herself in the car seat,’ Salem County Prosecutor John T. Lenahan told via NJ.com.
Authorities allege Joseph took heroin before driving around, with her daughter in the back, parking the vehicle and then falling asleep – at which point the infant died.
An autopsy is still pending, but it’s believed that she got tangled in the belt trying to escape and was strangled to death.
Joseph has been charged with second-degree child endangerment and could face up to 10 years in prison. Of note, this is the mother of four’s third such arrest in nine years.
In 2014, Joseph was convicted of child cruelty and neglect after police found her unconscious alongside her 11-month-old son, who was partially submerged in a bath, NJ.com reported at the time.
Next to Joseph’s unconscious body were spoons, envelopes containing heroin residue and two crack rocks.
She received a year in jail and was released just over a year ago.
In 2008, Joseph was arrested after leaving her other two children, aged 11 and 2, alone at home so she could get high in a parking lot.
Those children were taken into temporary custody, although it’s not clear for how long.
At the time, Joseph was convicted of cruelty and child neglect and sentenced to five years of probation.
Records show the woman was arrested again after being found unresponsive at an apartment in 2014. Her infant son was found bathing in inches of water nearby.
Over the last 20 years Joseph has also been convicted on charges from seven arrests ranging from possession of heroin and cocaine to resisting arrest or eluding after being told to stop.
Yet to be necessarily understood is to what degree Child Protection Services had been monitoring the mother’s ongoing struggle with addiction and what remedies may have been offered to Deanna Joseph along with seeking to protect the woman’s children. Also not understood is where the children’s father was in the ongoing demise of their mother….

Signs and symptoms
Inattention, hyperactivity (restlessness in adults), disruptive behavior, and impulsivity are common in ADHD. Academic difficulties are frequent as are problems with relationships. The symptoms can be difficult to define as it is hard to draw a line at where normal levels of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity end and significant levels requiring interventions begin.
According to the DSM-5, symptoms must be present for six months or more to a degree that is much greater than others of the same age and they must cause significant problems functioning in at least two settings (e.g., social, school/work, or home). The full criteria must have been met prior to age 12 in order to receive a diagnosis of ADHD.
ADHD is divided into three subtypes: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, and combined type.
An individual with ADHD inattentive type has most or all of following symptoms, excluding situations where these symptoms are better explained by another psychiatric or medical condition:
An individual with ADHD hyperactive/impulsive type has most or all of the following symptoms, excluding situations where these symptoms are better explained by another psychiatric or medical condition:
Symptoms of hyperactivity tend to go away with age and turn into "inner restlessness" in teens and adults with ADHD.
People with ADHD are more likely to have problems with social skills, such as social interaction and forming and maintaining friendships. This is true for all subtypes. About half of children and adolescents with ADHD experience social rejection by their peers compared to 10–15% of non-ADHD children and adolescents. People with attention deficits are prone to having difficulty processing verbal and nonverbal language which can negatively affect social interaction. They also may drift off during conversations, and miss social cues.
Difficulties managing anger are more common in children with ADHD as are poor handwriting and delays in speech, language and motor development. Although it causes significant impairment, particularly in modern society, many children with ADHD have a good attention span for tasks they find interesting.

November 22 (SeeNews) - The U.N.-run Serbian province of Kosovo had a budget surplus of 265.3 million euro ($393.49 million) for the first nine months of the year, up from 119.2 million euro a year earlier, as revenue rose much faster than spending, Kosovo's Central Banking Authority (CBAK) said on Thursday.
Spending in the nine months through September totalled 407 million euro, CBAK said in its monthly report, quoting data of Kosovo's economy ministry.
The province turned to budget surplus of 76.5 million euro at the end of 2006 from 57.7 million euro deficit a year earlier.
Details follows (in millions of euro):
Kosovo has projected a budget revenue of 682.8 million euro for 2007, 4.0% higher than in 2006. Spending is projected at 717.5 million euro, 2.0% higher than in 2006. This year's budget deficit is to be financed from the government's cash reserves, which by the end of this year are estimated to reach 75 million euro. Kosovo's budget for a fourth year running relies almost entirely on customs duties revenue and excludes donor funding.
Legally still part of Serbia, Kosovo has been under U.N. administration since 1999 following NATO bombings that expelled Serb forces to end what Western powers said was repression of civilians in fighting an ethnic Albanian rebel insurgency. Ethnic Albanians who outnumber Serbs and other nationalities in the province by nine to one, are seeking independence, while Belgrade says Kosovo is an indivisible part of Serbia. On December 10 a Troika of international envoys representing the United States, the European Union and Russia is due to present a status report to the United Nations.
Kosovo's 2007 budget follows the requirements of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, which recommended changes in its structure in favour of capital investments.

Choice architecture is deliberately designing ways in which choices can be presented, without removing options, to alter behaviour. We applied these concepts as a framework to improve adherence to standard and transmission-based precautions to reduce the risk of infection transmission.
We created a multi-disciplinary working group to review and improve current practices. Using concepts of choice architecture a risk assessment tool to guide the selection of personal protective equipment (PPE) was developed. Selection of PPE was guided by patient care activities and the potential for exposure to body substances or fluid. The foundation of this tool was the default choice of bare below the elbows and sleeveless aprons, rather than the previous long-sleeve gowns and gloves, for close contact with patients or the patients’ environment in contact precautions. The effectiveness of these interventions pre and post implementation was measured using observational audits of PPE usage. Also rates of healthcare associated multi-resistant organisms (MROs) was monitored as a proxy for infection transmission.
Pre-intervention observational audits indicated inconsistent adherence to contact precautions. 87% of staff donned long-sleeved gowns prior to entering a patient room under contact precautions and 60% donned gloves. Post-intervention audit results and MROs surveillance are currently being assessed. Early results indicate greater adherence to newly designed procedures with no significant change in MRO rates.
Using concepts of choice architecture in developing risk assessment tools and other resources, we believe we have improved adherence to standard and transmission-based precautions, reducing the risk of infection transmission.

Speech on girl education is an important and powerful tool for empowering and encouraging girls. The education gap between girls and boys is huge in some parts of the world. This issue is of extreme importance and needs to be addressed properly.
Education matters. The right to education doesn’t recognize race, age, gender, and nationality. Education is a basic human right which cannot be taken by anyone.
Every person must practice their right to education to create a brighter future. Girls have no access to proper education in a number of countries for unacceptable reasons
In these countries, women are regarded as objects who must get married as soon as possible and reproduce.
Unfortunately, 57 million children around the world don’t go to school and the overwhelming majority of those children are girls. Girls shouldn’t be victims of stereotypes and face obstacles in receiving education.
Here, you’ll learn that it’s extremely crucial for a girl to be educated. You will understand how the right to education of girls affects their future.
We’ve prepared a list that shows us how speech on girl education can change lives. Here’s our top 5.
Speech on Girl Education
Girls with Education Can run the world!
Just image how girls’ education can influence the world. There is a famous saying:
If we educate a boy, we educate an individual, if we educate a girl, we educate a family and a whole nation.
It’s seems nothing could be more exact than this saying. Women are the ones who educate future generations. Everything starts with them.
An educated mother can raise a well-mannered, admired member of society. If a girl’s the right to education is taken from her, another barrier for future development is added.
An educated girl is less inclined to get pregnant or be infected with HIV & AIDS in teenage years. Girls in school are taught about sexual health and sexually transmitted diseases. That’s why girls who attend school are more informed about those issues and are less likely to face such problems.
Another major issue which can be solved by educating girls is child marriages. Child marriages still remain one of the greatest problems of the century. Children get married as early as at the age of 6.
The reason for early marriage is illiteracy. Statistics prove that if a girl attends school, it decreases the rates of early marriages.
Educated girls have power. Education makes girls independent and self-confident.
How does society benefit from girls’ education?
Girls’ education also has a positive influence on the social-economic situation of the country. Poverty rates decrease due to education. Girls education leads to them being more involved in politics.
Unfortunately, education remains a distant dream for many girls in different countries. In a number of countries, only half of the female population attend school as they lack financial support.
Countries like Somalia, Niger end Libreria, there is a huge gap between girls’ and boys’ education. Many drop out before graduating.
Fighting for girls’ right to education is our responsibility. The key to a developed world is an educated world.
Let’s pass on to our list of speeches on girl education and show their importance.
Speech on Girl Education #1 | Malala Yousafzai: Famous Speech on Girls Education
This amazing girl, who symbolizes girls’ education, is one of the most important figures of society.
Malala was only 11 years old when she began writing her blog for BBC. She depicted the situation of her country, Pakistan, from the hotspot. The simple girl living in a country where girls’ education isn’t a primary issue, Malala showed what obstacles girls face in her country.
Malala soon became popular after voicing the importance of girls’ education. Malala is the youngest person who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Malala’s main goal is to engage all girls in education and help those who cannot afford it.
Although Malala has a number of speeches on girl education, however, this one is especially memorable. She even delivered a speech to the UN on July 12, 2013 on her sweet sixteen.
Speech on Girl Education #2 | Prince Harry: Speech on Girl Education at the Nepal girl Summit
“It’s no secret that Prince Harry is a charitable person. He specifically focuses on providing children with education.

He emphasized the importance of prioritizing girls’ education and encouraged girls to attend school.
Speech on Girl Education #3 | Indira Gandhi: “What educated women can do”
This is probably one of the most influential speeches on girls education of all times. The third Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi delivered the speech in 1974.
Indira Gandhi pointed out in her speech the obstacles girls face in India with getting a proper education. She also included examples from her life.
Indira studied both in India and England. In her speech, she mentioned how unusual it can be for a girl to leave her house to get an education.
Speech on Girl Education #4 | Michelle Obama: “ Let Girls Learn”
The former first lady of United States, Michelle Obama has never been indifferent towards girls education. She has always advocated girls in receiving education and has personally encouraged them to do so.
During her speech, Michelle Obama stated that girls’ education is a personal matter to her. She said she was lucky to have had the privilege to study in one of the best universities in the country, but millions of girls’ have no basic access to education.
Speech on Girl Education #5 | Kavita Ramdas: “Radical women embracing tradition”
In her TED talk speech on girls education, Kavita Ramadas raises issues from another side: the cultural side.
Cultural norms are very often the pride of the country, but can also disrupt its development. These cultural norms become barriers to women, making them victims.

In April, the lender said that it had completed 11 loans coming to around £23.69m. This is up from its record of £17m in March.
It added that the success came off the back of its largest ever loan at more than £13m.
The lender said that more than £40m of loans have been redeemed this year, and that it had made £179m of loans to date. Its loan book is worth more than £96m.
Duncan Kreeger (pictured), chief executive and founder of Tab, said that over the course of the past few months it had deals ranging from several million pounds in value, to smaller deals requiring speed and quick turnaround as the drawdown was impacted within days of the formal offer being issued.
He said: “Our tech is speeding up applications and the amount of data we are collecting is also deepening. That’s generating meaningful insights that are helping us evolve to suit our clients’ needs.”
Kreeger said that over the coming year, Tab is looking to “capitalise on the success” of 2021, adding that “we are here to fund loans, and that is our focus”.
“With multiple sources of capital from private investors and institutions, and our emphasis on trust and transparency, Tab is going from strength to strength. In fact, we are on track to lend more than £200m this year,” he added.
TAB was launched in 2018. It offers bridging and development loans ranging from first charge residential and commercial, second charge residential and commercial, land with planning, development finance, and refurbishment loans.
It recently secured a revolving credit facility from Atalaya Capital Management, which at the time it said would be used to fuel growth and finance bridging and development loans.
Kreeger said in November last year that Tab was aiming to write £100m in development finance over the next 18 months, adding that there was a gap in the market in the under £5m segment.
In March this year, the lender conducted a poll of its brokers which found almost half, 46 per cent, said that development finance was “hotter” than the bridging market.

Polish Upper House votes to scrap TV, radio licence
by Andy Sennitt
The Senate, the upper house of the Polish parliament, voted yesterday for the controversial media law which aims to scrap the TV and radio licence fee. The ruling Civic Platform dominated Senate voted 45 for, 38 against with one abstention for the media bill, which has already passed through the Sejm, the lower house of parliament. The Senate introduced an amendment to the draft, however, which reads that there will be no minimal sum assigned for public media.
The funding is to be decided annually by the National Broadcasting Council in cooperation with the Finance Ministry. The most important plans in the new law are the scrapping of receiver licence fees in 2010, along with the restructuring of both the National Broadcasting Council - one of the two regulatory bodies - and the public broadcaster TVPís regional operations.
In the place of the licence fee the government wants to introduce direct funding from taxes with a guarantee of around 900 million zloty for public broadcasters TVP and Polskie Radio.
