What Is Alzheimer’s Disease?
Alzheimer’s is a degenerative disease that affects your brain and gradually gets worse over time. In over 60% of cases, Alzheimer’s will lead to patients being diagnosed with dementia, and it can be scary to hear you’ve got this disease.
As the disease takes hold of people they can lose language skills, find themselves getting lost more often, lose the ability to care for themselves, and increased mood swings. The cause of the disease isn’t fully understood, but many believe that it comes from inherited genes from parents, while others attribute it to head injuries and high blood pressure.
So far no treatments have been able to reverse the effects and those diagnosed eventually rely on a caregiver to look after them. The disease is estimated to affect around 6% of people over the age of 65 and in 2015 29.8 million people worldwide were suffering from Alzheimer’s.
Scientists have come up with a theory that suggests Alzheimer’s could be linked to gum disease. The genetic material gingivalis has been found in the brains of people who suffer from Alzheimer’s in larger quantities than those who do not. It is believed the increase in gingivalis comes from the mouth and is associated with poor oral hygiene.
The research discovered that those with fewer teeth are more susceptible to being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s than those with more. The gingivalis can enter the blood through the gums due to weaker defenses. That then gives it free passage to the brain as it can invade white blood cells.
What We Can Do
Besides keeping good oral hygiene, there isn’t much we can do just yet. Scientists have created a blocker that prevents the gingivalis from entering the brain and are now hoping to conduct extensive research to provide conclusive results.
Alzheimer’s is a complex disease, and it’s unlikely to be entirely eradicated by one vaccine, but it’s a start.

This photo of Earth and the moon was taken by NASA's Juno spacecraft last Friday (August 26), when the spacecraft was about 6 million miles away. It was taken by the spacecraft's onboard camera, JunoCam. The solar-powered Juno spacecraft lifted off from Cape Canaveral in Florida (it's no longer Cape Kennedy?) on August 5 to begin a five-year journey to Jupiter.
As I look at this photo, I feel two overriding things. First, I feel pretty insignificant, then I realize that we could take it at all, and I realize how significant we are! Click to enlargerate.

I don't disagree with you. But if the Labor Party is serious about electoral victory, rather than moral purity, it should engage in fusion when necessary and/or beneficial.

False dichotomy. Those corrupt Cold War unions ARE the new social unions. Only the leadership has changed. And overall it's a welcome and positive developement. I like Sweeney, Trumka, Chavez-Thompson, although they aren't as radical as I'd like them to be. Now, when it comes to the rank and file, the few that I've encountered aren't nearly as progressive as the AFL-CIO national leadership. Ironic, huh? But one of the more sobering experiences I had at Union Summer was learning that many rank and file workers still think imported cars are the source of their problems (this was the IUOE). And then of course there was the UFCW, one of the most sclerotic unions around. One member scolded one of the interns for allegedly "talking Communism." Don't get me wrong, there are lots of workers who have been radicalized through struggle, like the Staley/Bridgestone/Cat workers in Decatur and the Detroit newspaper strikers, but I think overall the majority of union members in this country still haven't stepped into the 90s. I would love it if someone knocked me off of my ass and proved me wrong, but I still don't see any widespread working class consciousness out there (including my father, a former CWA shop steward who's a registered Republican).
But I digress. We were talking about fusion...

What is sound intensity?
The intensity of sound is the subjective perception of sound pressure. Every person has a different perception of loudness, which means that loudness cannot be measured objectively. The acoustic sound intensity / audio intensity or acoustic signal is therefore relative. The increasing amplitude of the source and that of the vibrating surface causes the kinetic energy of the mass of air.
The sound intensity formula is defined mathematically as: sound intensity=acousticpower/normal area to the direction of propagation
Physically measurable, on the other hand, is the sound pressure, which is converted into sound level and further expressed in decibels (dB). The second measurable quantity is hertz, which measures the number of air pressure fluctuations per second.
However, since sounds with the same sound level but different frequencies are not perceived as equally loud, there are also the subjective measures of sound intensity: phon and sone.
The following paragraphs explain the differences and relationships of the most important terms about sound intensity and how sound intensity is measured.
The level of sound intensity: the decibel
Perceptible sound intensity takes on values over an extremely wide range, from 10-12 W.m-2 to 10 W.m-2, i.e. a factor of 1013 (10,000 billion!) between the lower and upper limits.
In order to use a simpler and more meaningful scale of magnitude, we define the sound intensity level as follows:
This quantity is noted L, is expressed in decibels, symbol dB, and is calculated from the following relation.
- with L in decibel (dB)
- I in W.m-2
- I0 = 10-12 W.m-2
The relationship between the sound intensity and the sound level in decibel is therefore governed by a logarithmic law:
- If we double the sound intensity, the sound intensity level is not doubled. Indeed:
so according to the operating rules of logarithms
Consequently, doubling the sound intensity is equivalent to increasing the sound level by 3 decibels
- The same applies if we divide the sound intensity by two, the sound intensity level decreases by 3 decibels.
What is the sound frequency?
The vibrations of a sound wave per second are called "sound frequency". Hertz (Hz) is used as the SI unit of frequency. Higher tone frequencies, unlike lower tones, have higher hertz numbers.
What is sound pressure?
Every sound source emits sound waves, which create waves of high and low pressure in the air. These air pressure fluctuations cause the human eardrum to vibrate, which causes the sound to be heard by the person. How loud a person perceives the emitted sound waves is individual and thus not objectively measurable.
However, the pressure fluctuations generated due to sound waves can be measured physically. Pressure is measured in pascals. Based on the generated sound pressure, the unit decibel can be derived.
WHAT ARE SOUND WAVES?
The intensitiy of a sound wave is a longitudinal wave that cause us to hear sounds. They propagate from their sound source (e.g., in the form of pressure waves). Humans can hear sounds in a frequency range of 16 to 20,000 Hz. Frequencies below 20 Hz are usually not really heard but rather felt.
WHAT IS THE SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL?
The sound pressure level is the measure of loudness. The human ear can perceive a sound pressure range from 0.00002 Pascal (Pa) to about 20 Pa. The latter is already the upper hearing limit, also called the "pain limit" due to the high sound pressure. The smallest just audible sound pressure is a tone with a volume of 1 kHz.
The following formula can be used to calculate the sound pressure:
Sound level L = 20 x log10(p/p0)
p: Effective sound pressure [Pa]
p0: Reference sound pressure (p0 = 0.00002 Pa)
SOUND LEVEL AND SOUND INTENSITY
Sounds can have the same sound level but a different frequency. In such cases, these tones are also perceived as being of different volumes. Therefore, in addition to sound pressure and sound pressure level, sound intensity must also be measurable as a purely subjective quantity. The unit of measurement for this is the phon (or fon). This unit of measurement refers to the sound intensity of 10-16 W/c2 at a frequency of 1,000 hertz. This corresponds to a sound pressure level of 2 x 10-10 bar.
1 phon = 10 lg (I1/10-16 W/c2)
Different sound intensities in phon
Different sound intensities in sone
Loud music (concert)
The psychoacoustic unit of measurement for the subjective loudness N of a sound event is the sone. At 1000 Hz sine, one sone corresponds to 40 phons or 40 decibels.
How is sound intensity measured?
The intensity of sound is measured in decibel with a sound level meter or Sound pressure Level (SPL) Meter.
The measure of sound intensity is the sound pressure level. The unit forsound intensity is decibels.
A sound intensity level meter consists of a microphone with a preamplifier for measurement, an evaluation unit and a digital display or, in older models, an analog display. Via the measuring microphone, the sound pressure is converted into an analog electrical voltage, via the preamplifier this voltage is then brought into the working range of the detector and the display.
Sound level meter
What is decibel (dB)?
The unit of intensity of sound is decibel (dB). It is used to calculate sound intensity and other physical quantities. Decibel is a tenth of the auxiliary unit of measurement Bel, which was named after the inventor Alexander Graham Bell. The value expressed in decibels is the sound pressure level or sound level. The sound pressure level is abbreviated with Lp (Level Pressure), decibel with the letters dB. To calcualte the sound intensity in decibel, a decibel meter is used. It is a measuring instrument, that assesses sound levels by measuring the sound pressure.
HOW TO CALCULATE SOUND PRESSURE IN DECIBEL
To calculate decibels of a sound source, two basic values are first required:
- The value of the hearing threshold
- The sound pressure of the noise source
The human hearing threshold is 20 micropascals. The hearing threshold is that value which just produces an audible sound, such as the impact of a spring on the ground. So if the ambient pressure varies by at least 20 micropascals, we can hear something.
To calculate the decibels of a noise source, we need to relate the hearing threshold and the sound pressure of the noise source. The reference point for the sound pressure level in decibels (dB SPL) is the lowest sound pressure that the human ear can hear.
The power of ten is then determined from the result and the ratio is squared. As a result, we get a value in Bel. The tenth of this value is the sound pressure level, expressed in decibels.
Maximum sound pressure level of different sounds in comparison
Whispering has a higher sound pressure level than a dripping faucet. Whispering has a volume level between 30 and 40 dB, while a dripping faucet has a volume level of 20 dB. A quiet radio is about as loud as a moderate rain shower, and a normal conversation, with a volume level of up to 69 dB, is not that far from the sound pressure level of a vacuum cleaner, 70-80dB. The volume of the jackhammer, for example, is exceeded by that of a rock concert (110-120dB).
Audible signaling devices
DOES TWICE AS MUCH DECIBEL ALSO MEAN TWICE AS LOUD?
An increase in sound pressure of 3 dB means a doubling of sound energy, but only an increase of 10 dB is perceived by the human ear as a doubling of volume. Hearing perception thus functions logarithmically.
In addition to the absolute loudness of a signal, the distance between the sound emitter and the human being also influences the perceived loudness. When the distance is doubled, the sound pressure decreases by 6 dB. The signal is then perceived to be approximately a quarter quieter. Use the following range table as a basis for estimating the sound intensity level.
However, environmental factors such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity and weather conditions also play a role in acoustic signals, which is why these are guide values.
Audible signaling equipment from Auer Signal is in the range between 60 dB and 127 dB.

Keri Rosebraugh (SACI MFA in Studio Art Graduate, 2016) will show at the International Video Art Festival Now&After, opening at the State Darwin Museum in Moscow on October 27th. The 2016 festival theme is ECOLOGY WITHOUT BORDERS.
Now&After ‘16 focuses on the ecology of culture, social ecology, political ecology, and the complex relationship between humans and the environment. Rosebraugh will be showing a video piece created while in an artist residency program sailing on the Arctic Ocean around Spitsbergen, Norway, titled A Letter To My Sister.
“Last year I took a flight from the Arctic to Svalbard, Norway, which is a lonely group of islands, located almost at the top of the world. This area has one of the world’s fastest changing landscapes with the most extreme changes in seasons. This video titled A Letter To My Sister represents the fragility of both humans and our planet as well as reminding us that all things are temporary.” – Keri Rosebraugh
Rosebraugh is also exhibiting in Plantarium, an exhibition in Treviso, Italy. Plantarium highlights “the beauty of nature through the magic of art” and is a world composed of plants, interactive art, projections and futuristic settings, explained according to the latest research in the field of neuro-biology and physiology. Art serves as a liaison between the objectivity of science and subjectivity of indivudual thought.
The exhibition is on view through January 8, 2017 at Casa dei Carraresi. www.casadeicarraresi.it
For more information see: www.neuroart.it/conceptplantarium
Keri Rosebraugh’s art is driven by her interest in the connections between humans and how those parallel our relationship to the environment. She utilizes natural materials juxtaposed with fabricated objects to establish a contact between man and nature. Works are often temporary and created using materials and elements on site, which decompose in time – symbolic to the cycle and regeneration of our planet. Rosebraugh’s practice is based on the exchange of ideas and resources, sometimes with direct participation of people as possible vehicles for social change.

Rise of the Guardians by Dreamworks is a fun and frosty treat for younger kids this holiday season. It stars the titans of holiday (and everyday) whimsy—Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman, and Jack Frost—in a way that doesn’t negate the religious connotations of Christmas and Easter so much as it sidesteps them. This movie is about the symbolism, the legends, and the fairy stories that create the core of a child’s holiday excitement. And this bunch—Santa, Easter Bunny, et al—have made it their mission to bring magic and whimsy into the lives of children all around the world and to guard that innocence and child-like belief.
|Every light on the globe is a child who believes.|
Chris Pine is the voice of Jack Frost, the legendary, magical bringer of snow and frost. Jack Frost is born one day, whole cloth, a young man who has to figure out his reason for existing. The Man In the Moon tells him he is Jack Frost; but tells him nothing else. He finds a magic staff and quickly discovers that he can freeze water, create snow, even fly. But when he lands in a village, people can’t see him and in fact walk right through him. He comes to terms with this and eventually enjoys his role as invisible imp, starting snowball fights, treating kids to a “snow day” off from school, and generally causing slippery but funny havoc everywhere.
|Tooth can't help but check out Jack's teeth.|
This is The Avengers for the young grammar school set. It’s rated PG for “thematic elements and some mildly scary action.” But I really have to ask: why is a Santa Claus/Easter Bunny/Tooth Fairy movie not rated G? Is anything rated G anymore? Does a story have to be the cinematic version of a child safety seat to get a G rating? Perhaps so. But the natural audience here is young kids; kids who believe in Santa and the Tooth Fairy. It’s just right for the holiday season. The animation is glorious. And the 3D effects are just the right enhancement to bring to life Jack Frost. 3D snow is very cool, no pun intended. There’s something for boys and girls here. My daughter loved the Tooth Fairy. I loved the moment when Tooth handed Pitch a quarter, then punched him square in the mouth, knocking out one of his teeth, pun intended.

Associate Solicitor - Employment
What’s your role?
Employment law is a constantly changing area and my role is to help businesses manage their risk when dealing with employment matters. I provide advice and guidance on all the employment law and practical issues that arise – from drafting contracts of employment and helping with recruitment issues to advising on family friendly rights and disciplinary issues.
My work is a mixture of helping with day to day matters, such as managing sickness absence and providing advice on strategic changes, such as redundancy situations or business reorganisations and changes to employees’ terms and conditions. I can either work alongside in house HR advisers, or provide the businesses HR function, depending on what’s needed.
I assist in resolving disputes either internally or at the Employment Tribunal when businesses are faced with a claim.
I also work closely with our corporate team, advising on the employment aspects of buying and selling companies, and am part of our insolvency team.
I work with clients ranging from national businesses, local authorities and charities to local businesses. I have recently achieved several key results for clients in the Employment Tribunal, achieving quick results via the strike out of the employee’s claims at an early stage and, where necessary, assisting business in successfully defending Employment Tribunal claims at final hearings.
I have recently advised several businesses and charities on large scale redundancy processes and necessary changes to employees’ terms and conditions to meet business needs. I’ve also advised on TUPE in relation to business sales and the outsourcing of contracts, ensuring the process runs smoothly and our clients have appropriate contractual protection.
I’ve also helped businesses to introduce new sales incentive schemes for employees and have helped businesses to decide how best to address recent changes to holiday pay.
I regularly present training and seminars for HR professionals and clients on employment issues.
- Representing employers in the Employment Tribunal
- Providing strategic advice to employers on issues such as redundancy and changes in location
- Employment aspects of acquisitions, business transactions and TUPE
- Advising on disciplinary and dismissal processes, including the removal of senior staff
- Negotiation and drafting of settlement agreements and the use of protected conversations
- Drafting service agreements, contracts of employment and staff handbooks
Which five words best describe you?
Three things we didn’t know about you?
- I play bass guitar in the Coffin Mew band “Clover”
- I moved to the South Coast because I love watersports – windsurfing, surfing and canoeing in particular
- I work closely with the charities that Coffin Mew supports as part of the CSR Team

Wattle and Daub
Hilary and Helen embarked on a new project together in 2017, combining their traditional skills of basketmaking and ceramics; two ancient crafts so intertwined in history and in life that it was natural to explore how they connect and complement each other.
Over the course of two weeks in the summer of 2017 Helen and Hilary built a wood fired kiln in the garden at Heckleburn. The willow framework was covered in a mixture of clay, sawdust, wood chips, sand and water.
You can watch it being built in time lapse and whilst it took over two weeks to build, the video is only two and a half minutes long, it's very funny and worth a watch.

A Mennonite Memoir invites the reader to embark on a journey that traces the paths of ancestral memory over the steppes of the Russian empire to the valleys of Canada’s Fraser River. Connie Braun’s narrative continues where Sandra Birdsell’s historical fiction Russlander has left off – back to the catastrophic events of twentieth-century Europe.
Braun intimately ushers us into the life of one extended Mennonite family, and in particular the life of her father and grandfather, living under the terror of Stalin, and later, under the military expansion of Hitler’s Nazi Lebensraum in the Ukraine. In the vein of Janice Kulyk Keefer’s memoir Honey and Ashes: A Story of Family and Anne Michaels’ Fugitive Pieces, Braun gives voice to the narrative of dispossession.
In a memoir that is historically faithful to documents, letters, old photographs and personal testimony, Braun offers a lyrical second-generation witness to her family members and to all other Canadians who have suffered displacement in history’s disasters, and whose obscure stories must be told. In doing so, she honours the spirit of resilience embodied by the refugees who have created and transformed Canadian society.

Institutions can help find complex balance between privacy and online safety. India’s IT Rules do not meet good institutional design.
A battle rages for the soul of the internet, and there are no easy answers. For several decades, tech companies and governments have waged a battle on whether the latter should be able to access encrypted data that is stored by the former. The internet boom has now embedded tech companies in many aspects of our everyday lives — how we communicate with each other, what we see and think, etc.
Ghosts of the past never truly let our present be free. Instead, in ways both hidden and visible, they spread their tentacles and constrict our experience and imagination of the world. In the wide sweep of human history, we see even minor events reverberate in unpredictable ways centuries later. How could we then expect something as pervasive and dehumanising as colonialism to cede ground to a seemingly benign and free internet? Quite to the contrary, technology has merely turned…
On 11 June, I moderated a panel discussion on the promise and perils of strategic litigation on digital rights. Here’s what I learnt.
From the outside, strategic litigation looks like glamorous work. Picture an eloquent lawyer - the defender of human rights - rattling arguments and making an impassioned plea. High-stakes courtroom battles, with the virtuous lawyer fighting the coercive impulses of governments and the greed of private corporations. There’s something mystical about strategic litigation, especially when one considers that so many hard-fought battles on privacy and digital rights have come through these very means.
New rules provide the government unaccountable power over free online speech, violating separation of power from an erstwhile judicial role
We live in unprecedented times, where technology is creating new and complex problems. Technology is changing the balance of power between governments, corporations, and individuals. A re-alignment is happening as we speak. Many competing interests are at play. Societies need to find fora where we can find a middle ground that is fair and equitable. The sole discretion of governments is clearly not that forum. …
1) Paradigm Initiative joined a group of global digital rights organisations to file an amicus brief in the ongoing US case filed by WhatsApp against the NSO Group (of Pegasus spyware infamy). It argues that NSO should be held accountable for privacy violations http://bloom.bg/3c21qqA

Committee on non-personal data released a much-improved second report. It should fill the substantial gaps in incentives and enforcement
Late last year, the Government-appointed committee on non-personal data released its second report. The first report, released in Sept ’20, had raised fears of ‘nationalisation of data’ and harming the commercial interests of data-based companies. The second report addresses several issues that were raised, and is a substantial improvement over the first. For a detailed comparison of the first and second report, you can read Ikigai Law’s summary.

With law enforcement agencies across the country under fire over allegations from excessive force to racial profiling, there are still quite a few people hoping to make a difference as a police officer.
The officers heard an engine revving and saw a black BMW speeding towards them as they crossed the street.
Authorities say two Los Angeles police officers have been transported to area hospitals following a three-car crash in Westwood.
Critics charge the new enforcement hires could generate $5 million in additional revenue, but Garcetti says the parking ticket rebellion may be premature. KCAL9’s Dave Bryan reports.
Three of the injured are police officers who suffered smoke inhalation.
The city has paid out about $110 million in jury awards and settlements for lawsuits that police officers have brought against the police department over a six-year period, according to an audit report released Friday.
A local teenager’s documentary about her grandfather’s murder in the line of duty and its effect on law enforcement is winning praise at multiple levels.
The city of Los Angeles Tuesday announced a $4.2 million settlement with two newspaper delivery women who were fired on by officers in Torrance during the manhunt for accused killer Christopher Dorner.
Authorities on Sunday continued to investigate the circumstances surrounding an officer-involved shooting in Watts.
Police were trying to break up a party in Boyle Heights Friday night when partygoers threw rocks and bottles at them.
The Fullerton City Council will consider a request by one of its members to allow the review of video apparently showing police confronting a mentally ill homeless man who later died.
Fullerton police are under fire after the violent death of a schizophrenic homeless man. Six police officers are suspected of beating Kelly Thomas, 37, to death and the police department is being accused of withholding video evidence.
A small but vocal crowd of protesters have gathered outside Fullerton police station to decry the death of a homeless man with schizophrenia after a violent confrontation with officers.
Two local police departments are mourning the loss of two officers who died over the weekend in a small plane crash in Winslow, Arizona.
With LA crime rates at historic lows, the LAPD says it’s critical to keep as many uniformed police officers on patrol as possible.

So white people cant celebrate Juneteenth??— Stanley Jackson (@Stanley61117114) June 20, 2023
And if he worked, they’d complain that he was ignoring the holiday.— John Thardell (@amrond00) June 20, 2023
Here’s the thing that maybe King didn’t think of. If Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery, it’s also a holiday in honor of the countless white Americans who spent their lives — and gave their lives — to make sure that that happened. That includes abolitionists who worked to eradicate slavery in the Northern states in the first decades of the United States. It includes the crusading newspaper editors and politicians who worked hard — if not always successfully — to keep slavery from spreading from its Southern roots into the states joining the Union. It includes the famous — like John Brown and Harriet Beecher Stowe — as well as the church congregations and clergymen who worked to end slavery long before President Abraham Lincoln put his signature on the Emancipation Proclamation or Reconstruction Republicans ratified the 13th Amendment. It includes, maybe most of all, the at least 360,000 (and possibly many more) overwhelmingly white soldiers who died in the Union Army over the course of the Civil War, giving, as Lincon put it, their “last full measure of devotion” to ensuring the Union cause prevailed and slavery in the United States was destroyed. There’s no question that the peculiar institution of slavery was a stain on the history of a country that was truly “dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” But it was not an ineradicable one. And many, many white Americans did more to erase that stain than any race-baiting “squad” member in Congress or mob of Black Lives Matter rioters ever will or could. If Juneteenth was celebrated in that context, without endless, empty Democratic virtue-signaling, it just might pick up more support than another day off on the federal calendar. Maybe this tweet put it best:
Are they going to cover all the non-Christians that take time off for Christmas?— April Campbell (@SoNotMarfaTX) June 20, 2023
The funny thing is, given the wording “To Every US Citizen” and the fact that the writer appears to be an avid fan of the Manchester United soccer team in the United Kingdom, there’s a good chance it wasn’t even written by an American. Which just makes it all the better. Gayle King could take a lesson. This article appeared originally on The Western Journal.
Happy Juneteenth To Every US Citizen.— Marva Longmore (@Undergrowth2) June 20, 2023

Racism in the Media, Yet Another Hot Potato for BulgariaEditorial |Author: Irina Samokovska | January 20, 2012, Friday // 15:08| views
You might have been led to believe that some sort of discrimination scandal erupted in Bulgaria a few days ago.
You might also like to reconsider your point of view on the matter.
The January 18 print edition of sports daily "7 Dni Sport" ("7 Days Sport") featured a lead article titled "CSKA's New Players - Italian, Swede and Two Blackies".
The first to react to the situation were the Association of European Journalists in Bulgaria (AEJ) and the Bulgarian Helsinki Committee (BHC).
On January 19, the AEJ sent an open letter to Chief Prosecutor Boris Velchev insisting that the Prosecutor's Office self-initiate proceedings over a crime involving race-based incitement to discrimination and hatred.
The AEJ called for holding liable the authors of the article, the duty editor, the editor-in-chief and all other higher-ranking people who had approved the publication of the title, including the publisher.
At the same time, the Bulgarian Helsinki Committee (BHC) sent a letter to the editorial board of the sports newspaper, asking them to change the wording of the title or face sanctions by the Commission for Protection against Discrimination (KZD).
January 20 saw the editor-in-chief flatly deny a racist dimension to the word.
Yuli Moskov claimed "blackies" was no more than slang, for which he refused to publish an apology note.
KZD Chair Kemal Eyup said in a statement later the same day that "the necessary steps" were being taken.
In the meantime, reports started circulating that the b-word had been a regular occurrence in articles of the sports media and that it had been only a matter of time until it surfaced in a prominent position.
The scandal of the last two days is indeed a scandal, but it is not about racism.
Non-street educated Bulgarians will not fail to acknowledge the derogatory meaning of the word.
The real scandal is that the institutions in charge take ages to stir into action, impose all too lenient penalties, if any, and therefore fail to prevent abuses from recurring.
At the same time, the community cannot summon the power to categorically denounce such acts and prefers to play the role of the observer and the timekeeper.
How long will it take this time?
How long will the authorities take to certify the offender as offender?
Or will the schemer yet again make it through one of the numerous loopholes?
This climate of unpunishability for acts inciting intolerance is the perfect breeding ground for sports hooligans.
And this is where things cease to be funny.
We need your support so Novinite.com can keep delivering news and information about Bulgaria! Thank you!

Chamberlain could feature for Liverpool’s U23. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could return to action on Friday in Liverpool’s U23s game against Derby. The England midfielder has so far missed the entirety of the season having sustained multiple ligament damage to his right knee during Liverpool’s Champions League semi-final first-leg tie with Roma last April. Oxlade-Chamberlain had been considered for Monday night’s U23s defeat against Everton, but was not included in the matchday squad.
A final decision will be taken later this week
A final decision will be taken later this week on whether the 25-year-old will be selected for the match at Derby’s training ground. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp previously stated it would be a “bonus” if Oxlade featured during the 2018/19 campaign. Oxalde, who scored five goals in 42 appearances for Liverpool last season, has been back in full training. The England midfielder, 25, has been sidelined since April 2018 with a knee ligament injury suffered in the Champions League semi-final against Roma. Oxlade returned to first-team training in February. A decision on whether he plays at Derby will be taken this week.
Oxlade-Chamberlain was included in Liverpool’s squad for the Champions League
Oxlade-Chamberlain was included in Liverpool’s squad for the Champions League knockout stages when it was named in February. Liverpool are one point behind Premier League leaders Manchester City with nine games of the season remaining. The Reds play the second leg of a last-16 Champions League tie at German club Bayern Munich on 13 March following a 0-0 draw at Anfield.

Hope&Glory, the new consumer agency founded by Jo Carr and James Gordon-MacIntosh, has been tasked to create the ‘Tweets from Santa’ campaign for O2.
The Twitter and YouTube-based campaign will enable Twitter users to send each other video messages, recorded by Santa from O2’s ‘digital grotto’.
Hope&Glory will be managing the campaign working with O2’s in-house social media team. The agency’s brief includes managing the social media, content creation and promotion elements of all the activity.
Gordon-MacIntosh, managing partner at Hope&Glory said: ‘A new agency couldn’t ask for a better project to work on in its first few months of its life.’
The campaign will allow Twitter users to send the message they would like Santa to read out to @O2 using the hashtag #O2Santa. Santa will then record a message, posted on YouTube and the user will receive a message telling them their clip is ready and that they can send it to its intended recipient.
Last week, Hope&Glory picked up the PR account for 300 year old British wine retailer, Berry Bros & Rudd.

On Wednesday, February 13, 19-year-old rapper Jamell Maurice Demons, a rising Florida rapper better known by his stage name YNW Melly, turned himself in to Miramar police in connection to the shootings of Anthony Williams and Christopher Thomas Jr.
Williams and Thomas, also known as YNW Sakchaser and YNW Juvy, were childhood friends of Melly and authorities claim he was the man who pulled the trigger and fatally shot them multiple times.
Melly is then accused of getting the help of Cortlen Henry, known as YNW Bortlen, to stage the scene so it looked like a drive-by shooting.
The news shocked those in the music industry as Melly was one of the more promising artists in his genre, and the severity of the allegations are deeply troubling. However, the story turns even darker when you look back at the official “MELLY” documentary which is available on YouTube.
The documentary gives an inside look at Melly’s upbringing and Sakchaser and Juvy are prominently featured throughout. In fact, Juvy is scene on camera throughout the entirety of the project as they reflect on their younger days.
At the end of the documentary, there is an on-screen message which read: “Four days after the completion of this film, YNW Melly and his friends were the targets of a drive-by shooting in Miami, Florida. YNW Juvy and YNW Sakchaser were killed.”
Melly even continued to mourn their deaths on social media before being charged with double-homicide. He has been denied bond.
You can watch the full documentary below.
YNW Melly “MELLY” (Official Documentary)
It was a unbelievable experience to bring the camera crew to my hood & showing them how I lived & grew I feel like this is going to be a big eye opener & I thank the director and crew for allowing me to show them my journey.

New Order is an alternative rock/electronic dance band which formed in 1980 in Salford, England, United Kingdom by the three remaining members of Joy Division. The band's classic lineup consists of Bernard Sumner (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Peter Hook (bass, electronic percussion), Gillian Gilbert (keyboards, guitar) and Stephen Morris (drums, keyboards). The group effectively disbanded in 1993 but reformed in 1998. Gilbert left in 2001 to look after her and Morris' children and was replaced by guitarist/keyboardist Phil Cunningham. Hook left acrimoniously in 2007 and declared the band to be defunct. Initially, Sumner, Cunningham and Morris denied the band had split up, but in 2009, following the release of the trio's Bad Lieutenant album, they admitted that that they could not continue on without Hook and officially disbanded. However, the band reformed in 2011 for a pair of charity dates without Hook, with Gilbert returning to the fold and Tom Chapman replacing Hook on bass.
Pioneers of dance music in the 1980's and one of the first bands to effectively and popularly synthesize keyboard- and guitar-based music, New Order's members hailed from Salford and Macclesfield, England out of the ashes of Joy Division, are noted as being one of the first bands to bridge the gap between post-punk and dancefloor. They were Factory Records' highest selling artist. They also funded Factory's famous Manchester club, The Haçienda. The band partnered with Quincy Jones's american label Qwest, recorded with legendary hip-hop producer Arthur Baker (on 1983's single "Confusion" and 1984's "Thieves Like Us"), and they embraced Ibizan club culture on the album, Technique.
The band was formed in 1980 by the three surviving members, Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook and Stephen Morris of Joy Division after the lead singer Ian Curtis committed suicide. Morris' girlfriend (and later wife) Gillian Gilbert joined in October 1980 on keyboards and occasional guitar shortly after contributing guitar to the second release of New Order's first single "Ceremony". Their early music followed in the same vein as Joy Division, most notably on debut album Movement. This is mostly seen now as a 'transitional' album where the new 4-piece band was trying to find a new identity.

It uses a map and also tells what land above the Rio Grande Mexico claimed and Texas disputed in the Mexican War. It explains the terms of the peace treaty and it shows on another map the Mexican Cession of 1848. It also shows on the map the Gadsden Purchase as the text explains that Arizona and New Mexico were bought in the Gadsden Purchase. It ends with sharing the contributions of early Mexican-Americas to the United States, which in 1853 stretched from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. There are a total of 18 reading comprehension questions divided into 3 sets of Fill-In the Blanks; Map Skills; and a Crossword Puzzle. The questions are largely literal reading comprehension skills requiring students to locate details to finish sentences (fill-in the blanks); use map skills to find places and apply directions: north, south, east, west; and locate details and finish sentences in order to complete a crossword puzzle. In addition to the informational text, you get a map of Texas/Mexico, a map of the United States and a crossword puzzle. The lesson can serve as a helpful test prep if you are teaching about the Mexican Cession and Gadsden Purchase in Social Studies. It is also a way for students to acquire knowledge about historic changes between Texas and Mexico. Additionally, the lesson can stand on its own purely as a reading lesson giving students an opportunity to improve their reading skills. The lesson is 4 pages and the fifth page is the answer key. It is a word document from which you can easily print copies and even edit if necessary.

In extending greetings and congratulations to Vincentians in the Diaspora, on the occasion of the country’s 38th anniversary of political independence, Prime Minister Dr. Ralph E. Gonsalves said “it is evident that we have much to celebrate, despite challenges.”
“Almighty God has spared us the ravages of hurricanes and storms, and made it possible for us to come to the assistance of our neighbors who have been affected by recent catastrophic weather events,” said Gonsalves in his remarks, read in part on Sunday by New York Consul General Howie Prince at a gala Independence Luncheon Sunday at Grand Prospect Hall in Brooklyn, organized by the Brooklyn-based umbrella Vincentian group, Council of St. Vincent and the Grenadines Organizations, U.S.A., Inc. (COSAGO).
“We pledge to support in any way possible, and continue to pray for their safe-keeping and rapid recovery from the devastating losses occasioned by these severe weather events, which serve as stark reminders of our vulnerability as Small Island Developing States, whose developmental gains can be reversed or obliterated by a single natural disaster,” he added.
Stating that nationals must be ever grateful to God for his faithfulness, the prime minister urged that they do so by celebrating this anniversary “with a special sense of gratitude and humility, and by acknowledging the achievements, which have been made possible only through His grace.”
He said that among the nation’s most notable successes are the accomplishments of young people, “who continue to shine and to make us proud.
“Their achievements in areas such as academics, sports and culture are deserving of special mention,” said Gonsalves, adding that they are “demonstrated in the results recorded in this year’s sitting of the regional examinations at the various levels.”
Among these, he said, is the “historic feat” of the top performers at the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examinations (CAPE), three of whom tied for first place and for the Prime Minister’s Award, noting that the “feat” is “worthy of special mention.”
The Vincentian leader said his administration remains “firmly committed to sourcing, creating and providing opportunities for all our citizens, including our young people, to achieve their full potential and to excel.”
He said Kingstown is also committed to the goal of engaging all citizens in the “conceptualization, articulation and implementation of this country’s development agenda.
“Our people-centered post-independence narrative encapsulates the concrete and tangible, and the metaphorical and symbolic,” he said. “It is reflected in, among many other things, the emphasis placed on programs aimed at the advancement of all nationals and, also, on the execution of projects of great value and significance, which express our national pride and identity.”
Gonsalves pointed out that the Argyle International Airport is one such project, stating that the completion of which is “representative of the will and tenacity of our people in the face of great odds, including the prevailing global economic conditions during the entire period of construction.”
He said improved air access opens up “new and exciting possibilities in the areas of transportation, tourism and trade,” adding that “our citizenry is keenly attuned to this fact.”
In essence, Gonsalves said the international airport “symbolizes the value we place on our unique culture and heritage and, equally, on our connections to the rest of the world, and the opportunities to participate actively and on an equal footing with our regional and international partners.”
As Vincentians celebrate and continue to chart the course of their development, the prime minister urged that nationals “be wise in the conduct and management of our affairs, wary of any attempt to distract and divide us, and united in our efforts to improve conditions for ourselves, our loved ones and our fellow nationals.
“Let us, too, stand firm in our on-going fight against those who have chosen crime as a way of life,” he said without elaboration.

A Stress-Free Home
Sometimes our lives are so busy that we treat our homes as if they were impersonal places that we merely pass through. But we can make certain that our homes truly feel like our sanctuaries by taking the time to tend to them like gardens, which need care in order to offer us the beauty of their blooms. When we take the time to treat our homes like beloved treasures, we can shift their energy from being merely places to being wellsprings for the replenishment of our energy.
Consider that homes are the outer reflections of those who live within. If we feel that the current appearance clashes with how we'd like to see ourselves, it can keep us from fully allowing our light to shine. Updating our homes to reflect our inner landscape need not involve massive redecorating or a large outlay of money. Small things can make a big difference, like simply moving items so that we constantly gaze upon the things we love the most, liberating the treasures we've hidden in our closets, using our best dishes and making small repairs. Organizing and cleaning is a no-cost way to remove chaos from our homes and introduce more calm. Lovingly rejuvenating our personal space can become a creative project that increases the flow of good throughout all aspects of our lives and increases our feeling of connection. We can give old things new life by donating them to charity, opening space for newness to enter. Removing stress from our homes can be as simple as putting our bills into pretty boxes and choosing a specific time to deal with them, or removing clutter so that we and our energy can move freely throughout our space.
Simplifying our space lets our imagination and energy roam free. We can choose to prioritize our homes, making them the true heart of our family's activities. Then we are free to focus on what really matters--time to ourselves, to share with loved ones, and to replenish our energy so that we have more to share with each other and with the world.

I worked with the world’s largest agricultural retailer in a hands-on tech lead role to help architect and build a new online store for farmers (Node.js, React, ELK).
This was an amazing eight month adventure! I joined Nutrien's green field startup project to serve farmers with online solutions. Before this project, farmers had to decide between mailing a $100,000 check for needed crop chemicals, or drive the check somewhere distant. After Nutrien's decision to expand online, I helped build an MVP shopping cart solution that made shopping easy.
Placeholder: There was so much professional growth that happened at Nutrien. At the time of writing while rebooting the personal blog, I'm placing here for memory and reminder to add additional details of the excellent people I met and tasks we worked on.
