Unusual Perspective at Spark
Restructive. That’s our word for describing projects offering a new dimension and purpose to an area or a building. Like Spark in Utrecht.
Smakkelaarsveld, in the heart of Utrecht, was the place where crossings trams, buses, cars and bicycles. Now we will built a park with houses, offices and public areas, called Spark.

Ammazza Restaurant Review: A 100-year-old building has been artfully reclaimed and refitted with a pair of wood-burning Forno Bravo pizza ovens to create Ammazza. Long communal tables crafted from rescued antique lumber line the center. All of the food is easily shared, from antipasti such as meatballs in a San Marzano tomato sauce to the huge stuffed pizza filled with cheese, topped with tomato sauce and fried, rather like calzone. The latter, pizza fritta, is a rarely seen dish, made with fior di latte, ricotta and basil (our choice) appropriately called "Semplice"; the "Carnosa" comes with meats. For dessert, the "pasta fritta con cannella" (cinnamon) is reminiscent of Spanish churros or buñuelos with their dusting of sugar. While there are some interesting wines, we think the beers are more appealing, especially the Georgia craft beers (Jailhouse and Wild Heaven) on draught. Note the generous offering of Wisconsin's Sprecher sodas.

In The End, Numb, Leave Out All The Rest
A bit about myself (hobbies, music, gaming, art)
Hello guys! My name is Chrissie, I'm 15 years old and I'm a h u g e LP fan!! They are my life and everyday starts and ends with them, either it will be a song or a video..! My favourite song is "In The End" because that's the song that made me love LP and their music! <3 Well, eventhough I love them all, I most admire Chester because he's got a great voice, a nice character and he's reeeeeeeally hot! Besides Linkin Park I like listening to Fort Minor, Dead By Sunrise, Nirvana and Avenged Sevenfold! I also play the guitar! I also like drawing but no-one actually gets to see any of my drawings [because I don't want them to] , and playing football [aka soccer] and basketball.

Helium Light Hotspot Vs Full Hotspot
2022 will see many changes to the Helium network, ensuring its growth and robustness for the future stability of the network. One of those critical changes coming is the introduction of Light Hotspots. We have seen many manufacturers become approved resellers (HIP19) of what is known as Full Hotspots, where the majority of them consists of a LoRaWAN module and a computer processing device such as a Raspberry Pi, ROCK Pi or something similar.
Full hotspots challenge other hotspots to send out a beacon. They will transmit and validate the witnesses using their own computing power. In order to do this, the hotspot needs to have an up to date copy of the blockchain to validate the events. This takes up a significant amount of resources.
With validators taking over the consensus group in Q3 2021, and soon taking over challenges, there will be less requirement for intense information processing hotspots.
This allowed for a new design to the hotspots, which would simplify the hardware whilst still performing at a high standard, just like a Full Hotspot (1st generation).
Why the introduction of Light Hotspots?
The Helium network is expanding at an accelerated pace, with now more than 640,000 active hotspots (Mar 2022) thanks to the onboarding of new manufacturers. It should be no surprise that the load on each Hotspot is increasing, and the blockchain sync time is increasing for all of these new hotspots. There have been a few network hiccups, and new hotspot owners have been complaining about long sync periods, and this will only get longer in the future as the network grows.
The current generation of Full Helium hotspots is energy efficient. They use hardware that is low in power consumption when in use and when idle making them the ideal devices for use as hotspots. Currently, each hotspot stores and synchronises the entire Helium blockchain, creates challenges, provides Proof of Coverage (PoC) to earn HNT currency, and most importantly, offers data transfer.
This fact makes some other vital factors get overlooked, such as how much computer processing work each Hotspot is doing. This is a lot to consider for one device, hence why some hotspots do not perform as well as others. Thermal management is also a critical factor in their performance.
All the above has been taken into consideration. The case was put forward to create a new dynamic Light Hotspot, which will eradicate all of these challenges for the manufacturing of Hotspots and the end-users.
What is a Light Hotspot?
Light Hotspots are the progression of how LoRaWAN gateways will interact with the Helium blockchain. Since the genesis block, the Helium blockchain has run entirely on the physical Hotspot itself. As the blockchain grows, each Hotspot running a full node experiences increasing load and falls out of sync due to the higher compute requirements of the miner.
To overcome this challenge, the Hotspot's consensus work has now been moved off physical Hotspots and onto Validators (HIP25) in Q3 2021. This simplifies the architecture and enables the network to grow exponentially while keeping block times and epochs stable.
As all approved Hotspots transition to a Light Hotspot architecture, it will satisfy the increase in demand and continue to expand the network coverage.
What are the key benefits of a Light Hotspot?
Light Hotspots will still allow Proof of Coverage HNT earning and transfer the all-important data to the Helium network; it will no longer store the blockchain on the device, issue challenges or even participate in consensus groups. For the end-users, average earnings will be slightly less since about 0.9% for challenges. However, the hotspot setup will be significantly quicker out of the box resulting in the network becoming more stable and distributed, thanks to the validator mainnet improving the overall experience for everyone.
The most significant advantage of the introduction of Light Hotpots is how quickly the Helium network will scale and grow. These light hotspots will be simpler to manufacture, requiring fewer components and modules, whilst becoming further energy efficient. The expectation is that the next generation of Hotspots will be more fit for purpose. They won't have to synchronise to the blockchain once you power them up; only register to the Helium network.
When the Light Hotspot software is fully developed and in production, it will satisfy the following properties:
- A Hotspot on the Helium network via Validators can participate in PoC beacons and witnesses and forward data packets.
- It does not store a copy of the blockchain, eliminating synchronisation.
- Does not create challenges (Validators will complete challenges on behalf of the Hotspot)
- Does not participate in Consensus Groups (relies on Validators for block production)
- Will no longer depend on libp2p or "gossip" and instead use gRPC, a new framework to communicate between distributed systems.
- Will be eligible to earn $HNT
In other words, the Light Hotspot software will allow the Hotspot to participate as a Full Hotspot with the help of validators, without the extra overhead of maintaining a local copy of the blockchain. All remaining Full Hotspots on the network will continue to work as Full Hotposts but eventually will become Light Hotspots.
Below is a comprehensive diagram of how the architecture of a Light Hotspot will work:
What Happens to Existing Hotspots?
The current first generation of hotspots will work just fine with no disadvantages over the Light Hotspots. As the Light Hotspot project moves from the beta stage to milestone 4 (Production), certain features will be disabled on the Full hotspots to ensure a level playing field. In milestone 2, all consensus activities will move to the validator mainnet.
Full Hotspots will not become less valuable against Light Hotposts, but based on the information available, there is no evidence that Full Hotspots will be considered inferior to future generations.
Light Hotspots Vs Full Hotspot
What does Nebra have to offer?
Nebra is currently developing a Light Hotspot that will include either a Raspberry Pi Zero or the ROCK Pi equivalent as the main embedded computer. The Light Hotspot will still consist of the Nebra LoRa concentrator module, ECC key, Ethernet, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and all the interface functions you will find on the Full Hotspot, such as a Bluetooth pairing button and status LEDs.
The hardware design will be much more streamlined and includes all the same software features, including fleet management using the Nebra dashboard and remote access & diagnostics. Our customised software is where Nebra Light Hotspots will stand out from our competition.
The Light Hotspot price is yet to be revealed, but it is likely to be slightly less than the current Full Hotspot due to using a lower spec embedded computer.
As the Light Hotspot project moves forward in Q1 of 2022, we should see three types of solutions available for users:
- Light Hotspots (Including Full Hotspots which will become LightHotspots)
- Data-only Hotspots
It will be easier for newly approved manufacturers to produce Light Hotspots hardware, and prices should be slightly lower than Full Hotspots due to fewer hardware requirements. New users can provide PoC and data transfer more easily. Not only this, but validators will also be run by the people.


(WASHINGTON EXAMINER) -- The Green New Deal has high-profile backers in Congress, but several incumbent Democrats are keeping their distance from the proposal left-wing supporters say would address climate change and economic inequality.
The nonbinding resolution, championed by New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, would pair a transition to 100% clean, renewable energy with economic and social programs, such as a federal jobs guarantee and universal healthcare. Its goals have become a litmus test for Democrats courting liberal voters as they seek the 2020 presidential nomination.
But candidates running in the party’s primaries for spots further down the ballot and against Republicans in November 2020 are grappling with the often-poisonous politics of the proposed framework.

"... It isn’t really about a choice between VP Biden or Senator Warren or Senator Harris or Senator Sanders or any of the other Democratic primary candidates. The simple reality we face as Americans is that nothing positive, not a single damn thing, is possible on healthcare, immigration, the climate, the environment, the economy, foreign policy, defense policy, criminal justice, and/or trade policy if the President is reelected and if the Senate remains in Republican hands. The real issue right now isn’t whether VP Biden’s healthcare plan is too incremental or whether Senator Sanders is too idealistic and therefore unrealistic and improbable. And that either of them have the ability to deactivate Democratic voters because they’re not having their ideological pleasure centers tickled. At the Federal level, the real issue is electing a Democrat president with a Democratic majority Senate and maintaining the Democratic House. That’s it. Almost any of the Democratic primary candidates is acceptable given this reality. And even a one seat Democratic majority in the Senate is as well." -- Adam Silverman, stating what should be obvious: staying focused in the run- up to November 2020 -- and that we have the political winds behind us. He also stresses the importance of winning governor and state legislature races prior to the 2020 census. Nice pep talk and reality check.

Hello to all my blogging friends, I hope this post finds you all well and happy!
I found another really cool sketch over at Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #134 this week http://www.papercraftcrew.com/pcccs-134-card-sketch
Here is their sketch
I haven't worked with the Work of Art stamp set in a while, so I thought I would pull it out and make a boat.
I really like Pistachio Pudding card stock combined with the Confetti Celebration DSP. I saw the boat on line sometime in the summer and thought I would try to re-create it today. I can't believe the stamps in this set can make so many interesting images. I just used a Basic Grey Marker to add depth and dimension to the hull of the boat (I think that is what it is called). I just love playing with the In Color Sequins. The add just the right amount of bling to a project. The spray background was made with Pistachio Pudding ink and an image from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.
Here is a look at the inside
Simple just a few stars and a strip of matching DSP.
I hope you all have a great weekend. I plan on staying in my craft room all weekend as I have a few projects I need to get done.


Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Thousands of students remained on tenterhooks as the third round of counselling for admission to UG and PG courses was badly marred by technical glitches. Out of six days reserved for registrations, five days saw technical glitches. The last day of registration i.e. Wednesday was the worst hit as the server for online registration remained down throughout the day.
For a few minutes, the link opened at some places but by the time students were able to fill their registration details the server was down again. Those who had previously done registration and were waiting for online verification of documents also faced trying times as the server was down on Wednesday.
The registration process for the third round had started on July 7 and was to close on July 12. “Students who had either not applied in the first two rounds or had not got a seat in any college were eagerly waiting for this round. But they were left disappointed as technical glitches marred the round,” said the principal of a college wishing anonymity.
He said that the registration link worked only on July 11. “We were hoping the last day of registration process of third round will be normal. But it turned out to be worst as the server remained down all day,” he added.
Seat allotment on July 18
For those who had managed to register themselves for the third round, the allotment list will be released on July 18. The students who were allotted seats will have to pay a fee in the college concerned by July 22 for confirmation of admission.

Muscle pain can be a relentless companion, affecting people of all ages and lifestyles. Whether you’re an athlete pushing your physical limits or someone struggling with the discomfort of daily life, muscle pain can significantly hinder your quality of life. While traditional medical treatments may offer temporary relief, you can always seek the help of a chiropractor for muscle pain. Chiropractic care presents a holistic and natural solution that addresses the root causes of muscle pain. In this article, we’ll explore how chiropractors can provide lasting relief for muscle pain, backed by scientific evidence and real-life success stories.
Understanding Muscle Pain
Muscle pain, or myalgia, is a common condition characterized by discomfort or soreness in the muscles. It can result from various factors, including:
- Overexertion: Engaging in strenuous physical activities or lifting heavy objects can strain the muscles, leading to pain.
- Poor Posture: Maintaining incorrect posture during work, sleep, or daily activities can cause chronic muscle tension and pain.
- Injuries: Accidents, sports-related injuries, or falls can damage muscles and trigger pain.
- Stress: Psychological stress can manifest physically, causing muscle tension and discomfort.
- Underlying Conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as fibromyalgia or autoimmune diseases, can lead to chronic muscle pain.
Conventional treatments for muscle pain often rely on pain medications and rest. However, these approaches only provide temporary relief and do not address the underlying issues. Chiropractic care takes a different approach, focusing on identifying and treating the root causes of muscle pain, providing natural and lasting relief. For that reason, receiving treatment by a chiropractor for muscle pain can be the very first step in your road to recovery.
Why Visit a Chiropractor For Muscle Pain
Chiropractors are skilled healthcare professionals trained to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal disorders, including muscle pain. Visiting a chiropractor for muscle pain is an effective way to unlock your body’s ability to heal and potentially achieve the best results. They employ a range of techniques and therapies to help patients find relief:
- Spinal Adjustments: Chiropractors use precise spinal adjustments to correct misalignments in the spine. These misalignments, known as subluxations, can interfere with nerve function and contribute to muscle pain. By visiting a chiropractor for muscle pain, they can realign the spine, alleviate pressure on nerves, reduce muscle tension, and relieve pain.
- Soft Tissue Therapies: Chiropractors use various soft tissue therapies like myofascial release and trigger point therapy to target specific muscle knots and areas of tension. These therapies promote relaxation, improve blood circulation, and reduce pain.
- Posture Correction: Chiropractors assess a patient’s posture and offer guidance on ergonomics and exercises to improve it. Correcting posture can alleviate muscle pain caused by chronic poor posture.
- Customized Treatment Plans: Each patient is unique, and chiropractors develop individualized treatment plans tailored to their specific needs and conditions. This personalized approach ensures that the root cause of muscle pain is addressed effectively.
- Patient Education: Chiropractors educate patients on proper ergonomics, exercises, and lifestyle modifications to prevent future muscle pain. Empowering patients to take control of their health is a key aspect of chiropractic care.
Scientific Evidence Supporting Chiropractic Care
Numerous studies and research articles have explored the effectiveness of chiropractic care in managing and alleviating muscle pain:
- A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that chiropractic adjustments effectively reduced muscle pain and improved range of motion in patients with chronic neck pain.
- Research published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine demonstrated the benefits of being treated by a chiropractor for muscle pain, particularly focused on the low back.
- A systematic review published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews concluded that spinal manipulation, a core component of chiropractic care, is effective for both acute and chronic low back pain.
- A study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine highlighted positive outcomes of chiropractic treatment for patients with myofascial pain syndrome, a condition characterized by muscle pain and trigger points.
These studies underscore the efficacy of chiropractic care in managing and alleviating muscle pain, making it a viable and evidence-based option for individuals seeking natural and long-lasting relief.
Muscle pain can disrupt your daily life and hinder your overall well-being. Instead of relying on temporary solutions, consider visiting a chiropractor for muscle pain. Chiropractic care utilizes a natural and holistic approach to address the root causes of your discomfort. Through spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapies, posture correction, and personalized treatment plans, chiropractors can help you achieve lasting relief. If you’re ready to take control of your muscle pain and enhance your quality of life, consider consulting with a qualified chiropractor for muscle pain to explore the possibilities of chiropractic care.
While a chiropractor for muscle pain can offer promising solutions, it may not be suitable for everyone. Individual results may vary, and the appropriateness of chiropractic treatment depends on your specific condition and health history. Before seeking chiropractic care for muscle pain, consult with your primary healthcare provider to ensure it’s a safe and suitable option for you. Chiropractors are trained to assess and diagnose musculoskeletal issues, and they may refer you to other healthcare professionals when necessary.

The Whitecourt Blue Dolphin Swim Club hosted a swim meet at the Allan and Jean Millar Centre on June 10, with 250 participants between the ages of two and 20 years old.
This is the club's 40th anniversary, said club president Marni Woykin.
“We started out with two swimmers 40 years ago and this year we have 70,” she said, adding that the team used to practice at the old outdoor pool in the days prior to the Millar Centre.
The Blue Dolphins travel within the province's “B” Region, which extends west to Jasper, south to Edmonton and Drayton Valley, and east to Westlock.
Woykin said that the swim league, which operates between May and mid-August annually, is both an individual and team endeavour.
“As a member of the Alberta Summer Swim Association, we are put into our regions as a club. As a club in that association, we generate points based on our swimmers and how they place, but at a meet ... they are competing against other swimmers in their region,” she said.
Like scoring for track-and-field, swimmers' individual performances are based on completion time and contribute towards their team's overall score.
Deana Govias, the Blue Dolphins' communications representative, said the team is open to anyone who wants to participate.
“If your children can swim and follow instructions, it's open to anyone who wants to put their kids in,” said Govias, adding that the first week costs only $1 each day.
Due to the individual nature of the sport, swimmers have a much more flexible schedule than they would on a more team-oriented game, such as baseball, said Woykin.
“You have to make swim club work for your family. Because you're not a pitcher in a baseball team, you're not letting down the whole team if you do have those family commitments,” she said.
Woykin said the swim club provides participants with stronger swimming skills than they would have otherwise, which could be a lifesaver.
“We see the benefit of lifesaving skills within water, which is very important to us,” said Woykin.

Two men have been arrested in connection to a front porch shooting in Louisville last week that left a toddler dead and her mother injured.
Michael Dunn, 24, and Trey Anderson, 20, are charged with murder, attempted murder and wanton endangerment.
Not many details have been released about the case and the men’s roles or motive in the shooting are not clear.
The family of 16-month-old Ne’riah Miller said they were receiving death threats due to increased police presence in the neighborhood since the shooting on Aug. 27.
Ne’riah was being held by her mother when she was shot and killed with a gunshot wound to the torso. The mother is still recovering from a gunshot wound to the stomach. Her injuries are considered non-life threatening.
A family member said that a man approached the porch before 6 p.m. and shot both the mother and child before fleeing.
Originally, police believed it was a drive-by shooting, but have since determined the gunman was on foot.

If Ontario wants to spur development of a “digital corridor” or tech “supercluster” linking Greater Toronto, Waterloo and Hamilton, the provincial government needs to set up a region-wide economic development agency, improve transit connections between the three hubs, and promote closer ties among the area’s leading research institutions, an international expert on regional clusters told the CityAge conference in Waterloo last week.
“It’s time to brand the whole region,” David Wolfe, Co-Director of the Innovation Policy Lab at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs, told the conference's 200 attendees. The Toronto-Kitchener/Waterloo-Hamilton region accounts for 35.8% of all jobs in Canada, 29.6% of patents and a third of all venture capital deals, he added.
At a press conference during the two-day event, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne appeared to agree with Wolfe’s recommendations, noting the province is now looking at the sorts of land use policies, business supports, post-secondary education planning changes and infrastructure investments that would be required to establish a regional supercluster. “All of that is under discussion,” Wynne told reporters. “We know the right approach will allow [a supercluster] to flourish.”
On the critical issue of improving rail links between Toronto and Waterloo Region, Wynne added that Metrolinx, the regional transportation planning body, last month acquired from CN a 53-km long rail corridor between Guelph and Kitchener, an asset that will help the agency move towards all-day, two-way service.
While she couldn’t provide any specific planning details, Wynne also said her government remains “committed” to developing high-speed rail along the corridor, an idea first bruited during the spring provincial election. “If we’re going to draw world-class talent,” she said, “we need to have world-class infrastructure and having high speed rail along this corridor is part of that.”
Yet Ontario planning officials who attended the conference acknowledged they haven’t yet studied how to use high-speed digital networks as another form of regional economic development tool. Delegate Marcus Doran, a University of Waterloo software developer who is launching a digital mapping company, said governments should view high-speed broadband as not just a form of municipal infrastructure, but also a means of attracting and retaining tech firms.
“When you start talking about the infrastructure necessary to support a supercluster, no one yet has mentioned that kind of connectivity,” Doran said, noting that Waterfront Toronto recently invested in a high-speed broadband network for its lakefront projects. “It should be talked about just as much as transportation.”
While public and private sector participants have yet to hash out a complete policy agenda to support the supercluster, there was little dispute about the economic and entrepreneurial heft at either end of the emerging relationship.
According to a global ranking of the top 20 startup ecosystems, Toronto and Waterloo rank eighth and 16th, respectively. The University of Waterloo, which pumps about $2.6 billion into the region’s economy, is one of the top three academic recruiting sources for Google’s software engineers.
At the other end of Highway 401, Toronto’s bank towers have evolved into a formidable hub for information and communications technology firms, many of them providing services to the financial institutions located in the city’s core.
For Waterloo’s tech entrepreneurs, the question of how to knit together the innovation clusters at either end of the corridor has become increasingly important as a new generation of entrepreneurs and creative class workers find themselves torn between Toronto’s urban vibe and Waterloo’s innovation networks.
As the conference heard, a growing number of tech workers are choosing to live in Toronto and travel to Waterloo, a commuting pattern that has played out in San Francisco and Silicon Valley.
But John Ruffolo, CEO of OMERS Ventures, noted that his group has also assembled 2.5 million square feet of commercial space in Toronto with an eye to marketing this emerging downtown tech hub to Waterloo firms, as well as the innovation arms of several regional universities.
Besides advocating for better transportation options, supercluster proponents say that companies and institutions in the two regions need to find, or create, more venues to connect with one another. Wolfe said the leading research universities in the three cities should establish a region-wide “virtual” organization with a mandate to promote greater research collaboration, possibly focused on high-growth fields like biotechnology, ICT and advanced manufacturing.
In Philadelphia, the 51-year-old University City Science Center offers a model of how multiple universities, teaching hospitals and accelerators from a broader region can jointly operate an incubator that has graduated 350 companies and 15,000 direct jobs. According to president and CEO Stephen Tang, the 31 shareholders, including universities in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, have adopted a “rainforest” approach to fostering an innovation ecosystem.
Tang also pointed to a May, 2014, Brookings Institute study on the rise of innovation districts in the United States, which represent a “radical departure” from traditional economic development strategies.
While the sort of innovation districts cited in the Brookings study have emerged in both Toronto and Waterloo in recent years, the authors focused their analysis on clusters located entirely within an extended city-region.
As Wolfe pointed out, Greater Toronto-Waterloo Region supercluster proponents may be breaking new ground in terms of promoting economic diversification across an extended urban region. “Are we sitting on the edge of a unique opportunity?”

A debate in our community about the nature of Jewish values hovers over our annual 36 Under 36 section. Would those values best be put to use in the service of Jews or for the good of the wider world? Should they be expressed in a particularistic way or a universal one? How far does repairing the world extend?
In a sense, the young social entrepreneurs, activists, educators and artists profiled in our 36 Under 36 special section attest to the hollowness of the debate. They’re local and they’re global. They help make mikvahs accessible to more Jews on the Upper West Side, and they provide mirco-grants to communities in East Africa. They help instill pride in Bukharian teens in Queens, and they help community centers in Malawi launch small businesses. Some have worked both inside and outside the Jewish community. Some have overcome great odds. All are inspiring.
What sets them apart is that, unlike so many of us, they put their shoulders to the wheel, and they put their values into action. They push for change, and they hew to tradition. They carry out cancer research and they combat anti-Semitism and they work toward a more inclusive, more welcoming and more equitable Jewish community.
It’s as if they stepped out of the pages of Pirkei Avot: “It is not incumbent upon you to complete the work,” the Sages proclaim, “but neither are you at liberty to desist from it.” There’s no “desisting” here. Welcome to the work-in-progress Jewish future. The issue goes to print on June 5, 2018.
Do you know someone who deserves to be profiled in our 10th annual 36 Under 36 special issue? Click above to nominate him/her today.
*Nominees must be 36 and under as of December 31, 2018. Nominees must currently live or work in New York.

Two months ago Sofia Skevofylaka was sitting in a lecture corridor at Imperial Faculty Business University having one of the ultimate lessons on the masters in innovation, entrepreneurship and administration diploma that she is owing to finish in July.
Within 48 hours she was on a airplane again to her loved ones in Greece immediately after the campus on Exhibition Highway in London’s museum district was closed, and every single tutorial, seminar and class was place online. She does not be expecting to return.
“People began to get afraid. I was dwelling close by in Imperial’s university student accommodation and I had a deal to remain until August. But I want to be with my loved ones. It is one less strain,” Ms Skevofylaka says.
She now attends lectures from her notebook by using Zoom, the movie conferencing system. As section of their entrepreneurship module, Ms Skevofylaka and a group of classmates used this system to together current a begin-up pitch, including slide shows, with each individual logging on from their respective houses. Buyers joined the call to judge their effectiveness along with the training course tutors.
“It is a little bit unusual to have to now seem at everyone’s faces on the display screen. When we attended lectures on campus we did not seem at each individual other as much as we do on Zoom, but the faculty has demonstrated how it can be used to comprehensive all of our coursework,” Ms Skevofylaka says.
There is also uncertainty all over jobs subsequent graduation. Some of the people she is familiar with have secured consulting roles, she says, but for other people there are considerations. “I am doing the job on a begin-up thought, a loved ones organization with my mom, specialising in corporate education and HR. People are attempting to modify to come across roles immediately after graduation.”
Business faculties have had to react rapidly to make their functions protected, closing campuses and shifting lectures and tutorials online. Presently, those people in charge are receiving phone calls from upset students, demanding tuition price refunds, and from staff members anxious about work safety when the lockdown finishes.
“There is a problem about no matter if students will be pleased to pay back the charges for a comprehensive-time training course when they are receiving an online diploma,” says Sangeet Chowfla, president and main executive of the Graduate Administration Admission Council, the MBA examination administrator.
“They like the skill to stroll up to a professor in place of work hours, discussion with classmates facial area to facial area and make connections with people in other industries who are their peers.”
Coronavirus has meant an abrupt finish to lots of of the regular attractions of organization faculties, including the possibility to dwell on campus and develop a network that will be beneficial for the relaxation of students’ professions.
But some students and their tutors are established that those people training and learning management abilities should really be having this sudden possibility to develop clever takes advantage of for technological know-how that transform the way people are taught in foreseeable future.
There is a perception that the coronavirus disaster will demonstrate the tipping issue for online education, displaying how it can be absolutely embedded into organization diploma programmes and winning over formerly sceptical training staff members.
“We do feel the students’ discomfort, the obstacle they are dealing with, not just shifting from facial area-to-facial area training to a virtual classroom but obtaining to review from property and considerations about the foreseeable future jobs industry,” says Paul Almeida, dean of Georgetown University’s McDonough University of Business in Washington DC.
“But this disaster has planted seeds for innovation and transformation in the use of technological know-how, about the opportunity for working with our structures differently so that people can review far more flexibly and staff members can telework.”
Now all his school are training online lessons dwell, even those people that formerly resisted this. “I would not say the way we are carrying out it nowadays is best, with most just presenting over Zoom, but it has began us on a journey,” he says.
Mr Almeida adds that school scientists will realise that when they are absent from colleagues, they are not able to only function remotely but might be viewing other college or university labs “where we can unleash the electricity of doing the job across universities”.
There is a distinct obstacle for students, lots of of whom have moved abroad to show up at organization faculty and have no way to get again to their loved ones or have felt compelled to return property to experience out the disaster.
At London Business University the present-day MBA cohort have been organising virtual meal functions and checking in with each individual other each individual night on world-wide-web conferencing systems.
“It is unusual, but lifestyle goes on and I have time now to approach my foreseeable future improved than if I was in a comprehensive-time work,” says Ed Boyanoski, a initially calendar year university student on the 21-thirty day period MBA training course at London Business University.
“The work industry is most likely not heading to be so incredible when I graduate next calendar year, but what can I do about that? We are right here to transform our professions and as MBA students spend most of our time attempting to come across alternatives to problems, so it feels like responding to this disaster is a thing I should really be very good at.”
The menace of economic downturn and unemployment is a looming concern for students owing to comprehensive their reports this summer time.
Ije Durga, a ultimate calendar year MBA university student at Berkeley’s Haas University of Business graduated from regulation faculty in 2008 as the money disaster unfolded. “The jobs industry was rather unsightly with people receiving work delivers rescinded,” she says.
When Ms Durga finishes her ultimate examinations next thirty day period she will be making ready to go to Connecticut, where she will begin function at a hedge fund. “I am one of the fortunate kinds,” she adds.
The disaster has prompted other people to use their abilities in the struggle versus the pandemic. When the coronavirus hit Germany, Sören Tesdorpf was in Berlin scheduling a flight to India for the social impact venture required for his masters in administration diploma at the ESMT organization faculty. He and four classmates had prepared to compile a database of begin-ups in remote Indian towns to support the smaller enterprises catch the attention of traders.
Right after the excursion was cancelled and ESMT finished all classroom training on the campus — centered in the previous East German governing administration headquarters — Mr Tesdorpf began pondering about how he could do a thing constructive to battle the pandemic.
He contacted the other group members on the India excursion and together they created a web-site where people can report their signs anonymously to produce a info established of recognised coronavirus cases globally.
“In 30 years’ time, when people request me what you have been carrying out during the coronavirus pandemic I don’t want to say I was just sitting all over at property viewing Netflix on the sofa,” Mr Tesdorpf says.
Review Tubers continue to keep boredom at bay
As Uk faculties closed and examinations have been cancelled, a group of instructional YouTube vloggers — the Review Tubers — felt compelled to support their fellow students, writes Amy O’Brien. “The instant the coronavirus actions have been declared, my DMs have been flooded with students panicking about what would occur to their grades and college delivers,” says Varaidzo Kativhu, a 21-calendar year-previous Review Tuber and ultimate calendar year classical archaeology and ancient record university student at Oxford college. “There’s so much uncertainty. I had to talk to the other Review Tubers instantly.”
Six hours afterwards, the StudyTube Project channel was dwell. At 6pm every single working day, one of the Review Tubers releases a movie masking a topic from their specialism.
“We’re attempting to deliver an online makeshift version of a faculty, where you have a variety of topics,” Ms Kativhu points out. “We want to present that you can continue to keep your head lively and enjoy education without the need of a teacher, classroom, textbook and test.”
As students come across on their own at property with far more time on their hands, audience need is superior. The new channel’s video clips are previously making revenue, and the group determined any gains built will go to charities encouraging battle Covid-19.
“It’s a venture for students by students,” she says, “to distract from how the earth is turning upside down outside, and to present solidarity. We have no thought what is heading on, but for now, we just need to have to adhere to the channel’s motto — one working day at a time.”

Is gay sex “sexual intercourse”? I’m trying to be polite here, so I’ll speak clinically. When a man takes another man’s penis in his mouth, or inserts his penis into another man’s anus, are they having “sexual intercourse”? In Florida — and many other states — this remains a serious question of criminal law, even after Lawrence v. Texas decriminalized consensual gay sex, because Florida has a statute making it a crime for somebody who is HIV-infected to have “sexual intercourse” with another person unless they disclose their HIV-status and obtain informed consent from the other person.
It seems that at least two times recently Florida trial judges have dismissed charges against gay men under this statute, relying on a 2011 decision by the 2nd District Court of Appeal that held that when two women engage in fellatio, they are not having “sexual intercourse” because that term, as used in the statute, refers to the penetration of a vagina by a penis. In a spurious bit of bad reasoning by analogy, these trial judges decided that the gay defendants in their cases could not be guilty under the statute because their penises came nowhere near a vagina during the conduct charged in the indictments against them! In both cases, the district courts of appeal (5th last May, 3rd today – Oct. 30) reversed, pulling out a dictionary and observing that a modern definition of “sexual intercourse” covers any contact between the genitals of two people. Both district courts of appeal have certified the question of statutory interpretation to the Florida Supreme Court. It sounds like the 2nd District court found itself in the same quandary encountered by Queen Victoria during the 19th century, when she was asked for royal assent to a sex crimes statute, and said she couldn’t imagine how two women could have sex with each other. O ye of little imagination!!
L.A.P. v. State, 62 So.3d 693 (Fla. 2nd Dist. Ct. App., 2011).
State v. D.C., 114 So.3d 440 (Fla. 5th Dist. Ct. App., 2013).
State v. Debaun, No. 3D11-3094 (Fla. 3rd Dist. Ct. App., 2013) – Today’s ruling. Amazingly, today’s ruling featured a dissenting opinion, arguing that precedent is more important in construing statutes than dictionary definitions (or, evidently, common sense). The appellate panel consisted of two women and one man. The two women made the majority. The man — evidently a legal formalist of the old school – dissented. He wrote: “The temptation to exercise will over judgment in this case is great” and “Courts do legislatures no favors when they do their work for them.” He argues that since the conduct in this case – oral and anal sex between men – does not clearly come within the traditional definition of “sexual intercourse” under existing Florida appellate precedents, the criminal defendant is entitled to the benefit of the “rule of lenity,” “whether we wish it to or not.”
There is a strong policy argument to be made that statutes making it a crime for HIV-positive people to have sex, imposing disclosure requirements on those who know they are infected, paint with too broad a brush and actually undermine good public health policy by incentivizing people to avoid finding out their HIV-status. But as long as the statutes are on the books, one hopes that judges will not get caught up in legal formalism and construe them without any reference to the real world.

Children’s Day 2020: Every year, November 14 is celebrated as Children’s Day with much fervour across India. It commemorates the birth anniversary of the first Prime Minister of Independent India Jawaharlal Nehru, fondly called Chacha Nehru. He was born on November 14, 1889.
The day is dedicated to advocating for children’s education as Nehru believed that children were a nation’s real strength and foundation of society. To celebrate the day, educational programs are held across the country.
“The children of today will make the India of tomorrow. The way we bring them up will determine the future of the country,” Nehru had once said.
History and significance
Originally, Children’s Day was celebrated on November 20, observed as Universal Children’s Day by the United Nations. However, after the death of Nehru in 1964, his birth anniversary began to be celebrated as Children’s Day in India. Considering his popularity among children, a resolution was passed in the parliament to give a befitting farewell to the first Prime Minister of the country.

NatalyPretty cafe with friendly staff. We have tried American and Classic burgers, Chicken nuggets and french fries. DELICIOUS!!! They also have yummy lemonade and mango shake. Definitely worth visiting!
- Slawomir GExcellent burgers. Beef patties are nice and juicy and the flavours are well balanced. Also, attempted the Man versus Food burger challenge and whereas the burger itself is not one to be savoured, it is a fun addition to the menu. The bun is the killer, but I dug deep and managed to devour the beast in 28 minutes. Photo and T-shirt hard earned. The burger came free.

A town called Holly sounds like a cozy place to spend Christmas.
Holly, in southeastern Michigan, hosts an annual Dickens Festival every December and is home to a ski and snowboard resort called Mount Holly.
But, for the Haneline family this year, Christmas with grandma beat out Christmas with Holly.
It was 17 degrees when the Hanelines left Holly on Tuesday morning to catch their flight to Southwest Florida International Airport.
"It's weird having palm trees, but we'll deal with it," said Karen Haneline, 51, waiting for her luggage with her teen-agers, Josh, 19, and Sierra, 17, and husband, Rod.
The Hanelines are among more than 350,000 people expected to step off planes at Southwest Florida International Airport this December, the busiest month for the airport outside of the peak tourist season.
With big helpings of snow and frigid temperatures in the upper Midwest and Northeast so far this month, Southwest Florida's tourism industry is looking to rebound after this summer's hit from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and a sputtering economy that kept more people at home last Christmas.
"From all indications, we should be above where we were in 2009," Collier County tourism director Jack Wert said.
Collier visitor numbers have yet to be compiled for this December, but 108,200 people stayed in paid accommodations in 2009, up 1 percent from 2008.
Lee County had 197,000 visitors staying at its hotels and or short-term rentals in 2009, a 21 percent increase from 2008.
Hoteliers have mixed reports for the 2010 holiday season so far.
The Inn on Fifth owner Phil McCabe said his downtown Naples hotel will be full all the way to New Year's Day, something McCabe couldn't say last December.
Busier reservation lines means the hotel can charge higher room rates, he said.
"That's what we've been missing," McCabe said.
The Hampton Inn in Bonita Springs is getting some last-minute reservations but is not quite up to 2009 levels, general manager Ruth Oberholtzer said.
"I'm cautiously optimistic," she said. "Could it be better? Absolutely. Could it be worse? Sure."
Arrivals are only half the story at Southwest Florida International Airport.
On the holiday's peak travel days, some 12,000 departing passengers per day will be going through the airport's Transportation Security Administration checkpoints, federal security director Robert Cohen said.
"We'll see some good crowds," Cohen said.
From Nov. 15 to Dec. 16, the TSA confiscated 2,600 prohibited items from passengers at the Fort Myers airport, Cohen said.
That included almost 1,800 potentially flammable aerosols, more than 700 knives, 57 tools and a .357-caliber Magnum, Cohen said.
Florida's highways also will be humming this holiday.
More than 4.8 million Floridians will be traveling 50 or more miles between Dec. 23 and Jan. 2, and 4.5 million of them will be traveling by auto, a 3.2 percent increase from 2009, according to AAA Auto Club South.
It's been smooth sailing at Southwest Florida International Airport this week, Lee County Port Authority spokeswoman Vicki Moreland said.
Moreland said several dozen flights were cancelled two weekends ago when a snowstorm grounded flights from Minneapolis, Chicago and Milwaukee.
The airport's three-times-per-week flight from Germany has been uninterrupted by Europe's snowbound travel chaos, Moreland said.
Standing in the sunlit concourse at of the airport on Tuesday morning, Debbie Syroney's wintry weather woes were melting away.
Syroney, 41, arrived early from Cleveland with her husband, John, and sons, Charlie, 8, and Jack, 6.
They were greeted by her sister, Sarah Collum, 32, of Estero, and were waiting for their parents, part-time Naples residents Pat and Frank Cammarata, to arrive from Buffalo, N.Y.
Syroney said Cleveland's cold weather has had her reaching for the soup and hot chocolate but she's expecting her diet to change.
"We're grilling down here," Syroney said.

Travesía Cuatro CDMX is pleased to present the first exhibition dedicated to the Italian artist Alighiero Boetti in Mexico. The show proposes a comprehensive survey of Boetti’s work, approaching different moments of his artistic practice: starting with his contributions to the Italian poveramovement; then hisarazzi, a series of text pieces embroidered in Afghanistan and concluding with his ballpoint pen drawings and other works on paper.
The Mexican artist, Mario García Torres is one of the most significant Latin American artists internationally, he has dedicated a great part of his career to evoke and re visit the figure and practice of Boetti. Therefore, as a way of dialogue and continuation of the conceptual concerns and spirituality of Boetti, García Torres has been invited to present new works created especially for this exhibition, extending his own research on the Italian artist.
García Torres highlights Boetti’s dissatisfaction towards conventional notions on identity; so he extends himself as a sort of narrative twin and an accidental collaborator in the context of the exhibition. García Torres and Boetti share a strong tendency to fade away the limits between reality and fiction, creating narratives that merge together memory, space and time. Authorship is constantly questioned within the works by García Torres and Boetti, this enables the artists to participate in a broader narration, just as ancient oral traditions which can only exist as collective memory. This sort of storytelling is motivated by speculative obsession rather than the necessity of historiographic precision.

Toby Keith (known as Should’ve Been a Cowboy on the 2018 re-release) is the debut studio album from American country music artist Toby Keith. Released in 1993 on Polygram Records, it features the singles "Should've Been a Cowboy", "He Ain't Worth Missing", "A Little Less Talk and a Lot More Action", and "Wish I Didn't Know Now".

Keith Jarrett is one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time. List of the best Keith Jarrett albums, from his solo piano works like Facing You, and records of combos such as the Keith Jarrett Trio, aka the Standards Trio. Among the CDs on the list are My Song, Expectations, and Sleeper. List of the best Keith Jarrett albums, including pictures of the album covers, ranked from best to worst by jazz fans worldwide. The top Keith Jarrett albums can be found at the top of the list. Mr. Jarrett is both one of the most acclaimed and prolific living jazz artists, and his solo piano and ensemble records, heavily on the ECM label, are quite a body of work.
The record operates at its strongest level when Jarrett locks the quartet into his winning gospel mode on "'Long as You Know You're Living Yours" and the tense drive of "Spiral Dance"; the reflective numbers are less compelling. Still, this LP-turned-CD successfully bucked the powerful electric trends of its time and holds up well today.

A recent sewer reassessment has left West York with a bill it might not be able to pay.
Kathy Altland, borough manager, said at a council meeting Monday night that West York could be responsible for $40,000 more in annual sewer payments after a study by the borough's engineering firm, C.S. Davidson, showed that it is liable for a bigger portion of the bill it shares with West Manchester Township.
Wastewater from both West Manchester Township and West York flow through the West York sewer system and into York pipes. West Manchester and the borough split the city's bill based on usage, Brian Wilson, council president said after the meeting.
Earlier this year, officials from the borough and the township met to settle discrepancies over responsibility for several businesses that lay close to municipal boundaries.
Wilson said that, at that time, West Manchester Township officials believed they might be underpaying on the shared bill, and that prompted West York officials to commission the study.
But the unexpected results caused concern during the Monday night meeting, and some questioned whether the numbers were accurate.
"We have no information on how calculations were prepared," Altland said.
West Manchester Township did not provide needed numbers for the estimate, Wilson said. He added that West Manchester Township's population has grown, but the borough's population has not, which is another reason he finds the numbers troubling.
If the study — and the increased usage numbers — are upheld, West York will be left with few options to cover the new costs.
"Do we dip into the sewer fund or raise rates?" Wilson said. "It hits us pretty hard."

News In Brief
The power of school administrators to censor student newspapers would be limited, under a measure approved late last month by the Wisconsin legislature.
The bill would protect student newspapers from censorship except in cases where the material to be published was considered libelous or obscene or was thought to cause disruption in the school. An amendment to the bill would also permit school administrators to censor advertisements they deemed inappropriate.
The measure was a response to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier, which expanded school administrators' rights to curtail some forms of student speech.
If Gov. Tommy G. Thompson signs the bill into law, Wisconsin will become the fourth state to establish censorship protections for student press in the wake of that 1988 decision, according to the Student Press Law Center. Kansas enacted a similar measure in February. (See Education Week, Sept. 20, 1989.)
The Georgia legislature has approved a measure to require school boards to review the material taught in sex-education classes.
Under the measure, parents would have to be provided written notification about their right to review the material as well as their right to hold their child out of sex-education classes. A 1988 law required all school districts to offer sex education.
The bill also bars instruction about issues that encourage violation of state law, which prohibits homosexual sodomy and intercourse between unmarried people.
An Oklahoma bill to create statewide guidelines for transfer of students between school districts has failed to get out of a legislative study committee.
The House panel voted 8 to 4 late last month not to send the bill to the House Education Committee.
The bill's House author, Representative Dwayne Steidley, has argued that a statewide set of rules was needed because some districts are more strict than others about allowing transfers.
But Representative James Hager, the chairman of the study committee, said the panel did not want to authorize the state education department to promulgate regulations for open transfer without first reviewing the rules.
Property-tax bills in Texas rose more than 14 percent in 1991 as the result of a school-finance bill passed by the legislature, according to the state comptroller's office.
Total school taxes were more than $7.5 billion in 1991, up from $6.6 billion a year earlier, a financial survey indicated. Homeowners saw property-tax bills rise an average of 6 percent, while businesses saw increases of as much as 39 percent.
Tax bills were pushed higher by the establishment of 188 county education districts, which were required to set a minimum property-tax level. The system has already been declared unconstitutional by the state supreme court, although the court allowed the levies to stand through next year.

I'm glad I was patient with Mr. Purdy. I wasn't a big fan of the first book I read by him, and the stories in this collection started out painfully slI'm glad I was patient with Mr. Purdy. I wasn't a big fan of the first book I read by him, and the stories in this collection started out painfully slow. After the first four I nearly put the book down, to be done with Purdy altogether. The stories seemed light, simple, and relationship-based with little tension. But the fifth story, "Why They Can't Tell You Why," about a ruthless mother, picked up the game. Subsequent stories gained a lot in intensity, loneliness, and ruin; kitchen conversations gone to hell. Most every story after that played on the torture and despair between two or three individuals, often close family members, and how one, in the greater social setting, despised or sought to control the other.
Purdy's eye is keen: these are not stories that he simply creates from the imagination, but ones based, to some extent, on what he has lived and observed. There is a strong, general sense of Anderson and O'Connor in the stories: of a time when America has plenty of pickles, but not much on morals and meaning, unless they're the ones that are programmed or wish to dominate others.
The book ends with a bang via a 60 page novella that shares the collection's title. Nowhere more Flannery-esque than here, there are odd and suspect critters who we don't know what to make of, who don't know what to make of themselves. But there is general distrust, fever, and confusion, the results of finding society has no answer for death and chaos; gods that had us wishing and knowing are now dead. Not to mention the lead character, Fenton Riddleway, has just moved in from Ronceverte, West Virginia. Or that the names and the conversations and curious prodding of the characters have a little John Cowper Powys feel as well......more

Those vague and predictable blends that flips from the National Endowment of the Arts will perceive as most meaningful and deep?
I'm not going to go picking out the worst poems. Instead, let's turn to a random page.
Here we have We Wanted to Find America (published in Boulevard.) It starts off like this:
We wanted to find America through the gasps of snow that fell like last century's angels---
Then there was snow on the plane's dead wing, over the hull that stretched like a seedpod killing the windshield, clogging the flaps, dying and dying in the pall of night.
...................poem continues and I can't even get this to save with the correct (and absurd/trivial) spacing that Prufer uses in it.........
Sad to say, this is far, far better than a number of other contemporary American poets I've read lately who are "building a name" for themselves. Far better. Prufer does not, at least, fall into the hipster poetry camp---the twin Dickmans for example (thank God there aren't triplets). He does engage with history, with empire, with meaning, with downfall. He shows some technical ability as well.
So two stars? Well, there are some good lines in the poem Apocalypse, the first poem in the book---even though it starts off rough as well....more
