SEVERAL YEARS RESIDENT IN THOSE ISLANDS.

"The savages of America inspire less interest . . . . since celebrated navigators
have made known to us the inhabitants of the islands of the South Sea . . . . The
state of half-civilization in which those islanders are found gives a peculiar

more attraction than those which pourtray the solemn gravity of the inhabitant
of the banks of the Missouri or the Maranon."

MULTICHANNEL MERCHANT » SHIP
When Amazon Prime was introduced in 2005, analysts and consumers alike thought it was a risky, expensive venture, however, Amazon Prime members now comprise nearly 10% of Amazon’s purchases, and spend twice as much as non-Prime members. While Amazon has certainly been giving retailers a lot of heartburn recently, there is a way to fight back and all comes down to same-day delivery.
Failing to fulfill customers’ orders in a timely fashion can spell disaster for retailers of any size. Delivering products late can kill sales, batter your reputation and destroy customer loyalty. It can also squander all of the time, money and resources you spent acquiring new customers. Which is exactly why merchants need to remember that the customer experience journey doesn’t end with a sale.
It turns out Amazon is not the only online merchant looking to get into drone fulfillment capabilities. Netflix, taking jabs at its streaming video competitor, has announced its own delivery service, “Drone 2 Home,” in a recent video mocking the futuristic service.
The Home Depot has opened the first of three new same-day shipping focused direct fulfillment centers in the U.S., adding more than three million square feet to its supply chain.
Online retailers are sprinting towards the day when they can offer consumers products anytime, anywhere and as quickly and affordable as possible. In the next few months we will see many big ecommerce players continue to pour funding into delivery projects that will bring instant gratification to the consumer. Here is a look at just some of those projects and tops trends we can expect to see for package shipping in 2014.
Amazon has announced that it will now offer Sunday deliveries to a number of customers in cities across the United Kingdom, and Amazon Prime members in the UK can now receive their packages on Sundays at no additional charge.
Retail supply chains are longer and more tangled than ever – the complexity of the data coupled with high customer expectations around service and reliability are taxing traditional approaches to supply chain management to their limits. In this article you will learn how to pinpoint problems faster, make adjustments quickly, prevent missed deliveries, and catch those out-of-stock situations before they can impact the customer.
Yankee Candle saw trouble with FedEx at least two weeks prior to Christmas, starting with tracking issues that they thought were due to internal system errors. Yankee Candle was also told that FedEx’s Columbus, OH facility was so “overwhelmed” that FedEx had trouble moving packages.
Department store retailer Belk, Inc. announced plans to expand its ecommerce distribution and fulfillment center in South Carolina.
The more time and energy you invest in planning your holiday shipping and fulfillment strategy, the more effective your brand will be in delivering the type of customer experience that will keep shoppers coming back in 2014. While it’s too late to effectively change your retail agenda through the end of the year, here is a list things you can focus on from now through Christmas.

My Illustration Friday image for Feb.12, 2010.
I own a Jeep Liberty and occasionally go off-roading. I love the mud, but only from the safe confines of the vehicle. I wonder what the vehicle would feel if it was somehow alive. I imagine that from time to time it would "pull-up" like a frightened jump horse. I named the jeep muddy.
I created the image using a black and white pencil on muddy brown paper.

Microsoft got out of the wearable game when it decided to ditch its Band fitness tracker/smartwatch hybrid. The latest patent describes a non-invasive multi-dimensional optical sensor that could be incorporated into a wearable. In the patent, Microsoft argues that it can get rid of the inaccuracies currently associated with the one-dimensional sensors used in wearables today with this new setup.
This multi-dimensional sensor will apparently be capable of measuring a whole host of data including arterial heart rate, pulse waveform, arterial stiffness, tissue pulse rate, and arterial blood oxygenation.
The images accompanying the patent filing suggest that the sensor could be worn in a variety of places including the wrist, upper half of the arm and even on a pair of glasses. Like all patents, we can never know whether something like this will ever see the light of day.

Pinkie Chambers, a senior pharmacist at UCLH and former CLAHRC HEE NCEL Fellow is celebrating success in securing a prestigious NIHR Fellowship award.
After spending a year with the CLAHRC to hone her research skills, and against stiff competition, Pinkie secured a Doctoral Research Fellowship (DRF), which offers 3 years full-time funding (or 4 or 5 years part-time) to undertake a PhD.
The DRF is aimed at individuals, of outstanding potential, early in their research careers.
The Fellowship scheme aims to fast-track them through a customised research training programme in an environment reflecting their individual talents and training needs.
It is anticipated that successful applicants would become independent research leaders within 6 to 10 years of completing the DRF award.
During her year with us as a CLAHRC/HEE NCEL Fellow Pinkie developed her skills and worked on her application to the NIHR.
Her areas of interest include improving the chemotherapy pathway for cancer patients, and supporting patients to self-administer some of their blood tests to avoid hospital visits.
As well as her work as a Senior pharmacist at UCLH, Pinkie is also Joint Chair of the London Cancer Chemotherapy Expert Reference Group.
In particular Pinkie was commended by the NIHR for her efforts to involve patients and the public in her work which were described as “exceptional” – thanks in no small part to the CLAHRC’ Research Advisory Panel who Pinkie worked with during her CLAHRC/HEE NCEL Fellowship and who she presented to twice.
Our congratulations to Pinkie and best wishes for her future career
Physiotherapist and CLAHRC HEE NCEL Fellow Emma Dunphy has been successful in her application for a prestigious Clinical Doctoral Research Fellowship with the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).
Emma’s proposed research will develop an E-Health intervention to improve rehabilitation for anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
After spending a year with the CLAHRC on our fellowship scheme honing her research skills Emma successfully applied to the NIHR scheme against stiff competition.
The HEE/NIHR Clinical Doctoral Research Fellowship (CDRF) Scheme is aimed at registered non-medical healthcare professionals sited in England with at least 1 year’s experience of clinical practice, sufficient research experience or training to prepare them to undertake a PhD, and who wish to obtain a PhD by research whilst continuing to develop their clinical skills.
The full title for Emma’s research under the scheme will be Development of a model of service delivery to standardise anterior cruciate ligament rehabilitation in the NHS and testing the feasibility of an E-Health intervention to support delivery of this model.
See a poster outlining Emma’s work below or download a PDF here.
Emma Dunphy is a musculoskeletal physiotherapist with a particular interest in rehabilitation of sports injuries. Emma’s current role is at Homerton University Hospital Sports and Musculoskeletal Medicine Clinic. During her year with us Emma developed content for an existing website and tested this web-based intervention to support patients in rehabilitation who wanted more independence and better information.
Read Emma’s reflections on her year with us and how her time with the CLAHRC influenced her practice.
Emma was successful in her application for the prestigious Clinical Doctoral Research Fellowship with the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). She started her fully-funded PhD in April 2017, and through her doctoral research will be developing an E-Health intervention to improve rehabilitation for anterior cruciate ligament injuries.

- Plugging in to the power of your story ~ understanding a Story’s Flux Capacitor
- Tools for the Teller ~ Structure, conventions and common senses
What do you need to bring?
Participants will need to bring their inner child, passion, curiosity, questions and invaluable experience.

Live Storytelling at MonigraM Coffee Roasters
16 Ainslie St. S., Cambridge
CHANGE OF VENUE! Thank goodness Monica Braun of MonigraM Coffee Roasters has stepped up to the plate and offered a new venue for FRESH STORIES.
Dear Friends of Storytelling,
This month; this Friday, in fact, June 19, 2015, Fresh Stories will not be celebrating stories at MonigraM Coffee Roasters, as we have chosen instead to join in celebrating many other arts here in Cambridge during the Mayor’s Celebration of the Arts. (Now isn’t that a cool thing? Our Mayor Doug Craig does this every year, to bring the arts to the fore here in little hockey town Cambridge – a day set aside to celebrate arts in general and specifically, including culinary arts.) Storytelling will resume in July.
On July 17, 2015, Fresh Stories will again take place at MonigraM Coffee Roasters, 16 Ainslie St S, Cambridge, at a new, earlier time: 6:30 to 8:00. July features the multi-talented Bernadette Rule from Dundas, Ontario – I’m hoping she will tell the story of French Toast, among others!
Then on August 21, 2015, Cambridge’s own Michelle Braniff, recent Artist-in-Residence, and master of several art forms, who had been scheduled for June, will regale us with stories; I’m hoping the story of Daddy’s coat tails in Canadian Tire will be included.

This February, the guild hosted a workshop by Gail Fricker.
The workshop was attended by 15 people. Gail took the participants through the subject of telling a story in the first person and how to use gesture in such a telling. We discussed the line between telling a story and a theater performance.
We also discussed and Gail demonstrated the judicious use of props and costume.
Participants worked in groups in pairs on stories narrated in the first person and then gave feedback to each other on the use of gesture and voice.
It was an enjoyable and successful morning.
We were joined by Betty Bennett and Angelica Ottewill from the Peterborough storytellers.

1999 Louis and Francois Moutin decided to form THE MOUTIN REUNION
QUARTET in order to perform their original compositions. They had a
common desire: to create music expressing the energy of life; full of
emotion and spontaneity - a music close to them, to what they
intimately feel, inhabited by Jazz' spirit, swing and grooves, inviting
listeners and musicians to celebrate beauty and imagination.
sharing this desire with their two outstandingly skilled
partners: the amazingly talented pianist Pierre de Bethmann and the
immensely gifted saxophonist Rick Margitza. Not only Rick is a former
partner of Mr. Miles Davis, but also both he and Pierre can pride
themselves on their profoundly creative and extremely successful
respective solo careers.
Since six years, the band is touring through both America and Europe,
performing for more and more big and enthousiastic audiences.
In 2007 they will release their fourth album (in November), on Nocturne

Southwest Airlines Co. announced Monday it has reached an agreement in principle with its pilots on terms of a new contract, bringing nearly to an end four years of negotiations.
The tentative agreement comes after 10 months of mediated talks and after the pilots rejected a previous agreement, the Southwest Airlines Pilots' Association said in a statement.
"Our negotiators were able to bring back an agreement worthy of review," said the union president, Capt. Jon Weaks, in a statement. "The membership will have the final decision as always."
The tentative agreement lasts through August 2020 and provides pay raises comparable to salaries of pilots at Delta, United and American airlines, the union said. Also, the contract would align pilots' retirement plans with industry standards.
"The negotiating teams were able to reach an agreement that balances the needs of our pilots and the company," Southwest Airlines Executive Vice President Mike Van de Ven said in a statement. "We appreciate our pilots and recognize their role in the company's success."
This week, the airline and union will continue to discuss the final terms. The union's board of directors will meet in September to review the offer and decide if it should be put to members for a vote. The association represents about 8,000 pilots.
If approved by the board, the contracted would be voted upon by November, the union said.
The 46-year-old, Dallas-based company has grown to become the largest domestic carrier, it said. Southwest operates more than 3,900 departures a day during peak travel season, and it sends flights to 98 U.S. destinations and seven other countries.
More than 100 million people fly a year on Southwest, the company said.

This season, the breakthrough technology of adidas combines with the inspired vision of designer Rick Owens to produce a range of innovative footwear for men and women. As one of the leaders of fashion’s avant-garde, Rick Owens has defined an unmistakable minimalist, architectural and graphic aesthetic. For this collaboration, he distills his design signatures into a single silhouette composed of leather and nylon mixes in colors of black, white, gray, pearl, and bone.
Like most examples of great design, the shoes arose from a practical need—Owens’ personal desire for chic sneakers to motivate his cardio efforts. The resulting collection features one trainer in six unique material and color combinations for men and four for women. Subtle yet instantly iconic, select models display only the slightest hint of branding: a barely perceptible three-stripe perforation along the side.
Debuting this June at Paris fashion week, the collection will be on sale in December of 2013. Retail prices range from €400 to €500 EUR.

Chincoteague Island with Mom
August 25th-28th, 2014
Gavin and I took a short vacation to Chincoteague Island with mom. We loved the undeveloped, soft, sandy beach on Assateague Island, but were disappointed that the ponies are no longer allowed to roam freely on the island.
This was Gavin's first beach experience & he had a blast playing in the sand. We also all enjoyed a three-hour [link="http://www.daiseysislandcruises.com/#!scenic-and-sunset-boat-tours/c1x4r"]sunset boat tour[/link], which allowed us to sneak a peak at some ponies and dolphins.
It was very nice to go away and enjoy some time with mom / gran. We hope to have many more fun adventures together in the future!

The country’s economic growth is estimated to shrink by 3.4% in FY 2020-21
Following the completion of the second nationwide vaccination campaign against Covid-19 in the country, the government is hoping that the country’s economic growth will see an upward trend.
The country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth projection for 2020 has been revised further down to negative 6.8% following the second nationwide lockdown.
Bhutan’s economic growth (GDP) is expected to recover moderately to 3.7% in the fiscal year (FY) 2021-22 with policy responses to the Covid-19 pandemic, including the vaccination drive, according to the Asian Development Outlook (ADO) 2021.
Economic Affairs Minister Loknath Sharma said that the government is happy to have undertaken a successful mass vaccination for all eligible people and that they are looking forward to focusing on economy and businesses now.
The minister said the economic growth rate is expected to improve and in the fiscal year 2021-2022 they are targeting a positive growth of 3 plus.
However, Lyonpo said that the pandemic containment is still a challenge and its behavior is unpredictable.
When asked about how the economic growth will be improved, Lyonpo mentioned that immediately they are working on how to revive the economy through a focused approach concentrating to regain, revive and rebuild by another two years from now.
However, Lyonpo mentioned that the economic revival plan cannot be the work of a single ministry and requires a “whole government” approach, where the ministry of finance and ministry of economic affairs will lead the path and plan.
“In brief, regulatory reforms must accompany economic support measures. We are looking at picking the early harvest for economic revival and these will be the plans and programs that can be implemented immediately as well as building on our existing businesses,” Lyonpo said.
‘Out of plan thoughts and quick wins are some of the measures besides opening up businesses and economic opportunities,” he added.
Lyonpo said that the government will take the lead role to revive the economy through cross cutting reforms and support measures as outlined in his preceding responses.
According to the minister, one important aspect would be to concentrate on doable activities like construction, up and fully run existing industries, open up trading business by letting small shops and COVID-19 protocols relax even for the entertainment sector.
According to the Asian Development Bank, the country’s economic growth is estimated to shrink by 3.4% in FY 2020-21. The GDP growth is estimated to be 0.9% in FY 2019-20.

Received: 14 February, 2000; accepted: 29 August, 2000 In this research, three bread wheat varieties were sown at six different plant densities in the experimental field of Tekirda đ Agricultural Faculty according to a split-plot randomised block design. A range of characters such as number of tillers per plant, number of spikes per plant, grain weight of tillers per plant, plant height, harvest index, plant yield and grain yield per hectare were investigated. The results of variance analysis showed that the effects of sowing rate and variety and their interaction on number of tillers per plant, plant height and grain yield per hectare were all significant. In addition, the effect of plant density on grain weight per tillers, grain yield per plant and number of spikes per plant was significant, whereas the effect of variety was only significant on harvest index. It was found that the number of fertile tillers per plant was the most suitable character as a selection criterion for improving grain yield in the Thrace Region. According to path analysis the direct and indirect effects of the measured characters on grain yield per plant and grain yield per hectare showed that the number of spikes per plant, harvest index, grain weight of tillers per plant and plant height had a direct positive effect on grain yield per plant. However, the number of spikes per plant and the number of tillers per plant had a negative effect on grain yield per hectare, while the harvest index and grain yield per plant had a positive direct effect.

Controversy over childhood vaccines may make it too easy to embrace what appear to be new vaccine benefits.

Stratolaunch developed a giant airplane for space launches in the past. This project was phased out almost a year ago and many believed that the company had entered the liquidation phase. However, it has returned with a new project for which it has already found an investor. Stratolaunch will create a fleet of hypersonic drones that will perform reconnaissance and military tasks. The first device should show his capabilities already in 2022.
The project description says that it will be a flexible, high-speed test platform for reconnaissance, defense and offensive purposes. The authors of the document emphasize the possibility of collecting data during a hypersonic flight.
By 2023 the company plans to launch several devices from the board of Stratolaunch the size of which allows it to place up to three hypersonic devices simultaneously.
Talon-A will be 8.5 meters long and weigh about 2720 kg. The company does not disclose the details of the engine system which will be purchased from a third-party manufacturer. Also, nothing is known about the cost of the aircraft. It is only known that after the death of the founder of Stratolaunch, billionaire Paul Allen, the company has attracted new capital from a private investment group with long-term investment.
A huge Stratolaunch airplane took off for the first time a year ago. It could become the first commercial aircraft which is capable of launching relatively small cargoes from the stratosphere into orbit. The company planned to develop their own launchers but later abandoned it. They are focusing on building a platform aircraft.

As Feltman Stated, this is not 1991. Even in the best of circumstances, TPLF or TPLF associated governments cannot govern. TPLF is the most hated party in Ethiopia for good reason.
In 1991, five primary factors played in its favor to exert its governing power by force.
- The Oromo tribal region was sympathetic with TPLF, expecting to benefit from tribe-based politics.
- TPLF enjoyed the support of the Eritrean People Liberation Front (EPLF).
- The people of Ethiopia were completely disarmed by Dergue, with no means to mount armed resistance.
- The political environment was not poisoned by tribal rivalry and unmitigated hate.
There was no organized political group with a meaningful power base to resist the TPLF led government before it consolidated its power.
Fast forward to 2021
- Oromo sees TPLF or TPLF led coalition ascendence to power as a significant loss to the Oromo led coalition.
- TPLF is weakened by war and EPLF is its enemy not a friend.
- Every part of Ethiopia is heavily armed, many with advanced machine guns, particularly in the Amhara and Oromo regions – the two primary rivalries for power.
- Tribal animosity is beyond poisonous particularly between Amhara and Tigray and Tigray and Oromo. Today, Tigrayans’ accuse the Amhara of genocide. The Amhara accuse Tigray, Oromo, and Benishangul of Genocide. Benishangul and Kimant accuse Amhara of Genocide
- Afar accuse Tigray of genocide. Somali and Afar and Somali and Oromo accuse each other of genocide.
- There are tons of already organized groups to resist.
If TPLF and its cheerleaders think that TPLF can pull EPRDF 2.0, in 2021, it shows not only their utter misunderstanding of the dynamics in play, but also signifies their unmitigated stupidity.
TPLF has already initiated a civil war in Dessie and Kombolch where it used civilians as a clandestine extension of its army. Armed civilians were involved in murdering other civilians, after TPLF took control of
Kombolcha and Dessie. If civil war breaks out nationwide, the group that will suffer the most will be Tigrayans.
Ethiopians need to be united. There is no alternative but a negotiated settlement. I have written many articles stating that the US’s and EU’s intervention is myopic and dangerous, not only for Ethiopia but also for
Africa as well. It was titled “How US’ and EU’s Myopic Intervention in Ethiopia’s Conflict Will Destroy the Continent” It is a Google Search Away.
But one thing is true. Their interest is to end the war to maintain the integrity and stability of Ethiopia. Their persistent push for a negotiated settlement was not only politically right but also morally right.
Here is my article titled “Beyond Ethiopian Intellectual ኡኡታ: The Logic Behind US’s Intervention in Ethiopia.” Google it.
The narrative peddled by a large swath of Ethiopia’s intellectual clan that the US is after a regime change or submission by Abiy to serve America’s interest is utterly stupid. It is time to understand not only the internal dynamics but also the geopolitical dynamics.
We have a very narrow window of time to avert a civil war. If it happens, Peltman was right that it will make the civil war in Syria like a child’s play.
As a matter of urgency the government needs to initiate discussion with Oromo opposition forces and do it through the Gedda system to make it politically costly for the Oromo opposition to refuse. The government must announce its call to the Oromo opposition public. If they do not cooperate with the government, they will lose the Oromo people forever. OLF believed in the TPLF in 1991 and the entire Oromo population suffered. Will OFC repeat it? Let the Oromo people know this in real time.
As a matter of urgency, Amhara intellectuals who for three years accused the PM of being anti-Ethiopian publicly call all Amhara to be united and rally behind the PM without any precondition or equivocation.
Most importantly, the intellectual class must push all parties to engage in a negotiated settlement. Be it because of fear, favor or desire, the people of Tigray are solidly behind the TPLF. The call for total destruction of TPLF was stupid from the get go. I have said this all along. I will say it again.

The couple who lived too long
Running out of money in their retirement years forces some people into desperate measures.
Asked why they needed money, the response from an Auckland couple was heart-breaking: “We didn’t expect to live this long.”
For Beryl and Edgar Charles (not their real names), life in their late 80s had taken a grim turn. After running out of savings, the long-retired business owners were seeking a way out of their predicament – and had applied to borrow cash to tide them over.
Turned down by the brokerage they had approached (because they had not enough income to meet repayments), the couple were left with few options other than talking to their family in the hope of finding a way out of their impasse – a step they were reluctant to take as they had never wanted to be a burden on them.
“We have always been independent and thought we had our retirement well sorted, but we really didn’t expect to live this long,” says Edgar.
Their story is an example of an all too familiar scenario playing out among a growing number of Kiwi retirees: What to do as better health and longer lives result in more people outliving their income.
The problem is likely to deepen in the coming years. The most common age of death has risen over the last 20 years from 78 to 87 while New Zealand Financial Services Council (FSC) research late last year shows retirees were generally short of about $218 a week to live comfortably, even taking into account the state pension and KiwiSaver.
KiwiSaver is rated by most as having done a good job but is designed to accumulate savings, not to help people with drawing down savings in retirement.
Meanwhile a financial wellbeing survey commissioned by ANZ this year revealed about a quarter of New Zealanders have no savings while a BNZ Financial Futures study showed 31 per cent of Kiwis plan to keep working beyond 65 for financial reasons.
Kiwis are not alone. In the US, a survey conducted by the global financial services company Wells Fargo found 48 per cent of Americans admit they will not have enough money to survive in their golden years. Chillingly, the survey revealed 22 per cent said they would rather die than not have enough cash to live comfortably in retirement.
In New Zealand Tom Hartmann, the personal finance editor of the Commission for Financial Capability (CFFC) says increasing lifespans are one of the variables that make retirement planning a challenge.
“Alongside the question of how much we’ll need, not knowing how long we should be planning for can paralyse us and lead us to simply kick it all down the line a bit longer,” he says. “People underestimate how long they are going to live.”
Hartmann says life expectancy may climb even higher in the future: “Biotech breakthroughs may mean not just increased lifespans but increased health spans as well - where we not only live longer but live better.”

What are the 3 clauses of the 14th Amendment?
The 14th Amendment contained three major provisions: The Citizenship Clause granted citizenship to All persons born or naturalized in the United States.
The Due Process Clause declared that states may not deny any person “life, liberty or property, without due process of law.”.
Where is free speech not allowed?

Is freedom of speech absolute?
While freedom of speech is a fundamental right, it is not absolute, and therefore subject to restrictions.
Why is freedom of expression important?

What are 5 rights of a citizen?
Five major rights are freedom of speech, the right to a fair and public trial, the right to due process, the right to vote freely, and the right to worship freely. Governments that do not ensure one or more of these rights are not usually considered democratic.
What are the limitations of right to freedom?
4 Permissible limitations of the ICCPR right to freedom of…4.1 Provided by law. The requirement for limitations regarding freedom of information and expression to be ‘provided by law’ is an important guarantee of the rule of law. … 4.2 Permissible purposes. (a) Respect for the rights or reputations of others. … 4.3 Restrictions must be ‘necessary’ for a permitted purpose.
Why is the 1st Amendment the most important?
Arguably, the First Amendment is also the most important to the maintenance of a democratic government. … The freedoms of speech, press, assembly and the right to petition the government and seek redress of grievances proclaim that citizens have the right to call the government to account.
What are two limits on the freedom to assemble?
However, freedom of assembly can be limited by a local legislative authority through the legitimate use of its police powers. Examples of laws which limit freedom of assembly are found in various riot acts, unlawful assembly laws, and ordinances prohibiting the blocking of sidewalks.
Can rights be limited?
Over the years, the U.S. Supreme Court has identified certain constitutional rights as “fundamental”. … In order to restrict such a right, the government has to demonstrate that it has a “compelling state interest” which the proposed restriction seeks to protect.
Can the government take away my charter rights?
Charter Statements The Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the Charter) protects basic rights and freedoms that are essential to keeping Canada a free and democratic society. It ensures that the government, or anyone acting on its behalf, doesn’t take away or interfere with these rights or freedoms unreasonably.
Can freedom of expression be limited?
Limitation. In addition, under article 19(3) freedom of expression may be limited as provided for by law and when necessary to protect the rights or reputations of others, national security, public order, or public health or morals.
Is it legal to yell fire in a crowded theater?
The original wording used in Holmes’s opinion (“falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic”) highlights that speech that is dangerous and false is not protected, as opposed to speech that is dangerous but also true.
What are the limitations of the 1st Amendment?
Categories of speech that are given lesser or no protection by the First Amendment (and therefore may be restricted) include obscenity, fraud, child pornography, speech integral to illegal conduct, speech that incites imminent lawless action, speech that violates intellectual property law, true threats, and commercial …
What is limitation with regards to the right to association?
Limitation. The implicit First Amendment right of association in the U.S. Constitution has been limited by court rulings. For example, it is illegal in the United States to consider race in the making and enforcement of private contracts other than marriage.
Is freedom necessary to live a good life in a good society?
Freedom is a condition in which people have the opportunity to speak, act and pursue happiness without unnecessary external restrictions. Freedom is important because it leads to enhanced expressions of creativity and original thought, increased productivity, and an overall high quality of life.
Who is not entitled to union or association?
While Article 19 (1)(c) accords all citizens the right to form associations or unions or cooperative societies. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the rights do not enshrine this particular freedom of forming unions, hence, incorrect.
Why are there limitations on our rights?
Section 1 states that in order for a Charter right to be lawfully limited, the limit must be “demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.”i This basically means that limiting someone’s Charter rights must be reasonable in that it must seek to address an issue of pressing or substantial concern, done in a …
Why is freedom of expression limited?

What will happen when freedom is unlimited?
Unlimited freedom from state interference leads to anarchy and the absence of freedom leads to totalitarian governments such as communist Russia or fascist Germany. Freedom is not absolute because the people have rightfully concluded that absolute freedom would lead to misery.

PM Modi said: All CMs should work with team spirit on corona infection and inflation, appeal to states to reduce tax on oil
Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a meeting through video conferencing with the Chief Ministers of all the states regarding the increasing cases of corona infection in the country. During this, PM Modi said, this is our 24th meeting regarding Corona in the last two years. The way the Center and the states worked together during the Corona period, it has played an important role in the country's fight against Corona. It is clear that the challenge of Corona is not completely over yet. How Omicron and its all variants can cause serious problems, we can see in the countries of Europe. PM Modi said, our scientists and experts are continuously monitoring the national and global situation. On their suggestions, we have to work with a collective approach. Stopping the infection at the very beginning was our priority as well, it should remain the same even today.
Schools are open in the country after a long time
PM Modi said, schools are open in our country after a long time, in such a situation, due to the increase in corona case, the concern of parents is increasing somewhere. There are reports of children getting infected. But it is a matter of satisfaction that children are getting the shield of the vaccine. Only yesterday, permission has been given for corona vaccination for children in the age group of six to 12 years. As before, there will be a need to run a special campaign in the school.
Keep Upgrading the Health Infrastructure
The Prime Minister said, within two years, the country has improved from health infrastructure to oxygen. In the current situation of Corona, it is necessary that RTPCR test must be done for the patients admitted in the hospitals and samples of the patients coming positive must be sent for genome sequencing. The PM said, ensure that there is no panic among the public. The work of upgrading the health infrastructure should continue. Also ensure that all facilities are in working condition. If there is a problem, it should be resolved at a higher level.
State to reduce tax on petrol and diesel
Oil prices are rising rapidly amid the global crisis. In such a situation, PM Modi said, in today's global situation, coordination and coordination of central and state governments is more necessary than ever. The supply chain has been affected by the situation of war, in such an environment the challenges are increasing day by day. PM Modi said, in order to reduce the burden of rising petrol and diesel prices, the Central Government had reduced the excise duty last November. States were also urged to reduce their taxes. Some states have reduced their tax, but some states have not given its benefits to their people. My request is that if the state also reduces the tax in the interest of the country, then the public will benefit.
Get the safety audit done of hospitals
The Prime Minister said, the heat is increasing in the country. We are witnessing increasing incidents of fire at different places during the rising summer time. Last year many hospitals caught fire, it was a very painful situation. I urge all the states that we should conduct safety audit of hospitals from now on, make security arrangements.

We help you understand this medical test, which examines a man’s sperm before starting treatment for assisted reproduction
When a couple goes to a specialist in assisted reproduction, the first step is to obtain an accurate diagnosis of their fertility. At this stage, both members of the couple are involved, and the medical examination of the woman is just as important as the man’s. In his case, the seminogram, or semen analysis, is the most common test.
“The seminogram is a basic study of a semen sample obtained by ejaculation which helps to define the man’s fertility potential,” explains Dr. Marta Trullenque, a specialist at Eugin Clinic. “This is a test to evaluate sperm quality according to reference values established by the World Health Organization in 2010,” she adds. Below, we give you the keys for interpreting it correctly.
1. Confirmation of results
First, we must be very clear about the fact that the results can vary from one test to another. For this reason, it is advisable to perform a second analysis between one and three months after the first. Thus, the results can be confirmed, whether they are positive or not.
2. Reference values
The values that are detailed in the seminogram are the following:
• Volume: a sample obtained from an ejaculate is considered normal when the quantity of sperm is equal to, or greater than, 1.5 milliliters.
• pH: measures the acidity or alkalinity of the sample and should be equal to, or greater than, 7.2. Alterations may indicate malfunctions in the prostate or seminal vesicles.
• Sperm concentration: is the number of sperm per milliliter and is expected to be 15 million or more per milliliter.
• Total number of sperm: in a normal sample there are at least 39 million sperm. Although this value is studied, sperm concentration is much more significant.
•Motility: this determines the motility of sperm and is classified into three types:
-Progressive motility: able to progress in their advance and, therefore, traverse the Fallopian tubes and reach the egg.
Non-progressive motility: they don’t progress in their advance and they move in circles.
-immotile: unable to move in any way.
According to the WHO, it is preferable that at least 32% of sperm show a progressive motility.
• Vitality: indicates the percentage of live sperm in the ejaculate, which should be equal to or higher than 58%.
• Leukocytes: a sample regarded as normal should not contain more than one million leukocytes, or white blood cells per milliliter. An excess may indicate an infection.
Other factors taken into account are morphology (at least 4% of sperm should have the shape accepted as normal), appearance (the sample must be homogeneous and grey-opalescent in colour) and viscosity (if very high, it may hinder sperm motility).
It is important to remember that even though the results may be less than satisfactory, there are still chances of getting pregnant, albeit fewer. “And, the other way round too, a normal sperm count does not guarantee pregnancy,” points out Dr. Trullenque.
3. Possible pathologies
In medical terms, if the test results are positive, we are talking about normozoospermia. When there are significant variations, we can find cases of azoospermia (absence of sperm in the ejaculate), oligozoospermia (concentration of sperm below the reference value), and necrozoospermia (amount of live sperm lower than the reference value).
Asthenozoospermia deserves a whole chapter to itself for being “the most common pathology” in the words of the Eugin specialist. In these cases, sperm motility is below the standard values, making it difficult to reach the egg and fertilize it.
Assisted Reproduction: solutions
Even when faced with this type of more severe dysfunction, assisted reproduction offers treatments to achieve pregnancy with the partner’s sperm, except in some very extreme situations of azoospermia or aspermia. When it really is not possible to use the partner’s sperm, there is always the option of using donor sperm to inseminate the woman.
“In any case – stresses Dr.Trullenque-, the likelihood of achieving pregnancy doesn’t only depend on the results of the seminogram, which handles reference values that are not necessarily definitive.” The medical history of both, the woman’s age or the length of time they have been trying to get pregnant are determining factors that complete a couple’s fertility map.

PHOENIXVILLE - Blank canvases became bold works of art, voices and instruments harmonized, and indoor gardens blossomed as Fellowship Health Resources celebrated its 2nd Annual Studio 35 Day. In all of the seven states and nine regions where FHR provides services, staff and people served gathered to celebrate creative expression as a powerful tool in recovery.
'Today is all about embracing creativity. Studio 35 Day allows the FHR community to celebrate coming together and utilizing the arts as a form of self-expression,' Caroline Gates, Studio 35 Artistic Leader explained.
Studio 35, an innovative program of FHR, is an agency-wide therapeutic arts approach that provides individuals recovering from mental illness and addictive disorders a valuable extension to traditional therapy. Through implementing arts in the form of visual art, music, dance, horticulture, and writing, among other arts, Studio 35 enables persons served, staff, and community members to explore self-expression and creativity.
This year's theme, Enhance Your Region, enabled all of FHR's nine regions to hold activities that would further enrich their artistic programs and spaces. Events that took place ranged from the creation of stunning murals to learning how to line dance.
In Phoenixville, staff and residents gathered to celebrate art through a variety of artistic activities, including painting, dancing, and music. Consumers were invited to bring their own music and instruments to join in on a 'jam session' with an open microphone. In addition, line dancing lessons were held, where staff and consumers joined in to learn the steps to several songs. The day was complete when everyone contributed to a creative mural to be hung in the space.
The FHR community in Pennsylvania agreed that the day was all about using art as a means for inspiration and self-expression. Made evident by the good spirit and smiling faces, FHR Community Liaison Marianne Horan, explained, 'It was a great way to mark the day and remember that the road to recovery is shared by all.'
Pictures and stories shared agency-wide were proof of the day's success in support of FHR's mission. 'Helping individuals to express themselves through creativity is not something that is a supplement to a service we provide; it's part of the core. Studio 35 changes lives, and that's what makes celebrating today so important,' FHR President and CEO Joe Dziobek said in awe. 'Oftentimes, an idea catches a little steam and then just sort of fizzles out. This is not the case with Studio 35. We know that recovery is real, and that this program can help you get there.'

This is our latest acquisition. An Olympus PSM inverted metallurgical microscope. This one has seen very little use, and despite being almost 40 years old optics and mechanics are in perfect condition. Quite a lot of cleaning and some rewiring was needed though – it had been gathering dust in a quiet corner of the Quality Control Department of a major engineering company.
The company packed up in the UK and shifted production to China- but they left this behind. This was lucky for us, since it has been specially equipped for particle size measurement down to 1 micron levels, and also investigation of particle shapes and so on. We will be happy to undertake microscopy work for independent researchers.

Rajasthan to develop biosphere reserve corridor
Jaipur: The Rajasthan government Wednesday announced that it will develop a biosphere reserve corridor connecting 14 protected sanctuaries in six districts to ensure safe roaming of wild animals like tigers.
The corridor was among the several projects approved by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot during a cabinet meeting here Wednesday.
"The corridor will be named Rajiv Gandhi Biosphere Reserve. It is a very ambitious project of the state government for protecting wild life animals, especially tigers," an official at the chief minister`s office (CMO) told IANS.
Sanctuaries which will be connected through the corridor include Ramsagar, Van Vihar and Kesarbaag in Dholpur district, Kela Devi in Karauli, Ranthambore National Park, Sawai Man Singh and Sawai Madhopur Sanctuary in Sawai Madhopur, Ramgarh Vishdhari in Bundi, Darra, Jawahar Sagar, National Chambal Sanctuary and Mukundara Hills Sanctuary in Kota, Shergarh in Bundi and Bhainsrorgarh Sanctuary in Chittoragarh district.
He added that due to increasing population of tigers in Ranthambore National Park, incidents of territorial fights and straying of the big cats into human habitats are on the rise.
"The corridor will give the big cats freedom to roam in a bigger area and also provide plenty of prey to them," said the officer.
He added that the corridor will also reduce the possibility of poaching as it will be declared protected.
"Where ever necessary, the villages will be shifted. The animals will be able to roam in different sanctuaries without any threat," said the officer.
The proposal will now be sent to the union environment and forests ministry for its final nod.

Whenever I come across a dog that looks like it's seen better days (or any animal for that matter), I have to take a photo or two of it. I'm not making fun of them or trying to be mean, I just like to photography old mangy dogs. I made a post before of a dog that has a few links to other photos I've taken of other dogs as well that you can find here.
This dog actually isn't that old and the longer hair is just a part of it's breed. I'm not exactly sure what breed it is, but that's what the owner told me.

- In an email response to BitPinas, the Securities and Exchange Commission insisted that though there is no direct advisory against streamers, content creators, and social media personalities allegedly involved in the promotion of an unregistered project, these influencers can still be held liable when proven.
- It was in 2022 when the Commission added streamers, content creators, and social media personalities to the list of individuals who can be criminally liable if the entity that they are involved in is proven to be illegal and unregistered.
- The regulatory agency has cited the Securities Regulation Code, which imposes a penalty of at most ₱5 million or up to 21 years of imprisonment, or both.
Following the issue of the involvement of streamers, content creators, and social media personalities in promoting the infamous Lele Gold Farm among the netizens, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has directly responded to BitPinas, emphasizing that though the Commission currently does not have a specific advisory directed towards them, involved social media personalities may still be held liable with a heavy fine and imprisonment.
“For instance, in our advisory on Lele Gold stated that those who act as salesmen, brokers, dealers, or agents, representatives, promoters, recruiters, uplines, influencers, endorsers, abetters, and enablers…in soliciting or convincing people to invest in the investment scheme being offered by the said entity including soliciting investments or recruiting investors through the internet may be held criminally liable under Section 28 of the SRC and penalized with a maximum fine of Five Million Pesos (Php5,000,000) or imprisonment of Twenty One (21) years or both pursuant to Section 73 of the SRC,” the SEC insisted.
The concern was raised after streamers, content creators, and other online influencers advertised and somehow helped Lele Gold Farm gain more users. Lele Gold Farm was recently flagged by the SEC because its operation functions like a Ponzi Scheme. It was offering prospective investors a luxurious way of earning money through playing games.
Where after the SEC published its public advisory against Lele Gold Farm, some of the online personalities who initially endorsed the entity immediately deleted their content. Several social media users also shared their opinions regarding the issue.
Then, on January 17, various accounts posted on social media publicized that Lele Gold and 888 Casino were forced to shut down because of the advisory of the regulatory agency and the Philippine National Police (PNP) Anti-Cybercrime Group regarding the mobile game’s alleged Ponzi scheme.
Accordingly, as per Atty. Rafael Padilla, a lawyer who specializes in fintech and crypto, Padilla emphasized that though the current law in the country has not yet clarified the legal responsibilities of social media influencers who promoted a rug-pulled project, the potential liability of influencers is still very theoretical and that they should have some ethical liabilities
Since 2022, the Commission has added social media influencers and content creators to the list of individuals that may be criminally liable for being involved in an unlicensed entity that entices the public to invest.
What the regulatory agency has been emphasizing through its public advisories is the possibility of these individuals and entities not complying with the Securities Regulation Code of the country, and applying appropriate penalties and taxes assessed by the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
“The SEC will continue to warn the public against unauthorized investment schemes through timely advisories so that they may exercise caution in dealing with such entities,” the regulatory agency concluded.
