Don't forget to weigh in considerations for into, through, and from hazardous locations.BRV said:
We - chemical industry - are using cable trays exclusively. Even for the equipment, control station drops from the main cable tray runs we are utilizing wirebasket, rather than conduit. Use TC-ER rated cable for 480V stuff and CLX or MC for MV installation.BRV said:
So you run sections of the wire frame tray down to the equipment? How does it stand up in a factory envrioment? Most of those products that I have seen seem to be designed for commerical use.
I vote for cable tray. Makes it a whole lot easier to add/fix later on. Cost wise it is probably a wash.BRV said:
346.10(7) can?t find it.rbalex said:Don,
Beginning with the 1993 NEC cycle, review the development of what is now 346.10(7). After you have read the full development, I do not believe you will find one valid safety argument in the TCR/TDCs and their predecessors for the restrictions placed even today on what is now TC-ER in Section 346.10(7).
I actually happen to know a potentially valid one but the major opponents to using TC-ER as an open wiring method don?t want to use it since it would also affect their product. Those of us that are proponents have pretty much given up ? we?re getting too old to fight. Maybe Laszlo would like to take up the gauntlet.
BTW I happen to believe Laszlo?s application sounds just fine.
Abuse - fire them. They put their fellow workers at risk.don_resqcapt19 said:Bob,
I will take a look at the ROPs and ROCs for that section when I have some time. My only objection to exposed cables to the equipment is based on how I see things getting treated by the plant operators. Even my rigid conduit is often damaged...I just don't see how cable and tray would stand up to the abuse that I often see. And I get paid by the hour...rigid conduit in a Classified area is very labor intensive
Hey, knock yourself out....don_resqcapt19 said:Actually, not too far from me, conduit is required in the house and the garage by the local codes.
do you ever hang other things from them? I often see air lines and such strung along under them. I guess under them is not in them so it does not violate the wording of the code.weressl said:Cable tray installation offer significant cost savings in many applications.

Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi (R) meets with Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi at the presidential palace in Cairo on September 18, 2012.
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has called for unity among the Islamic countries saying that his country is ready for any kind of regional cooperation.
Speaking to Iran’s Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi on the sidelines of the meeting of the Quartet Committee on Syria on Tuesday, Morsi noted that when people who follow wrong goals are united for achieving their objectives, why Muslims should not be united in facing global challenges.
Morsi claimed that Iran's support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government ‘has hindered the promotion of the Tehran-Cairo ties.’
This is while analysts have repeatedly pointed to the fact that it is Egypt’s continued relations with the Israeli regime, not Iran's support for the Syrian government and nation, that have impeded the development of the Iran-Egypt ties. Pundits also believe that Morsi’s decision to maintain Egypt’s ties with the Israeli regime is a continuation of ousted dictator Hosni Mubarak’s policies and runs contrary to the demands of the Egyptian people.
The Egyptian president, however, expressed his gratitude for Tehran’s successful hosting of the 16th Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit saying that Iran and Egypt are two great countries with historical civilizations and “there is no problem” between them.
Salehi, for his part, thanked Morsi for his presence at the NAM summit and congratulated the victory of the popular and democratic revolution of Egypt.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran respects the will of the Egyptian people to determine their destiny and the people of Egypt have proved that the time for engineering [developments of the] region … by hegemonic powers is over,” he said.
Iran’s foreign minister welcomed the establishment of the Quartet group which can play a constructive role in regional issues, especially in Syria.

Reality with a magic touch - E.V. Borg
Behind a relaxed, warm, compelling smile Andrew Micallef conceals contagious enthusiasm and total commitment for his love of nature and fine graphic qualities – a suitable medium to express his feelings.
Alert, sharp, intelligent and highly sensitive his eyes dart, zoom, focus and twinkle in response to the explicit curiosity and interest demonstrated by his patrons and clients. Andrew loves music too. Such studies are the basis of his discipline and control in composition, balance and harmony. The magic in his music pervades his graphic rendition.
Kind, gentle, elegant and charismatic he reveals an explicit precocity for drawing, sketching and design. In Indian ink, pen and wash he weaves an arras of magic thread.
With audacious dexterity, sleight and nimble fingers he creates sharp, clear, clean, defined and articulate cross-hatching simulating etching or engraving. The meticulous attention to detail is overwhelming. The precision is incredible and the realism is absorbing, outstanding, astonishing and confounding. He is a neo-realist.
Without any flight of fancy or total abandon to his imagination Andrew accurately and cannily documents for posterity nature studies of fauna and flora, landscape and vernacular architecture with a sharp eye and mind and a steady, sure hand. His art lies in the bravura and virtuosity of his graphic technique. His originality is the fantastic optical illusion obtained with his graphic rendering.
Brought up in the quaint village of Zebbug, Malta he often accompanied his father while out hunting. In open countryside Andrew came into intimate contact with nature around him and observed it closely, minutely. He transformed his insatiable love for birds into the obsession of a conservator. Life seems such an incredible paradox.
Such boundless love can hardly be repressed and his studies led him into an adventurous journey of discovery. He actually visited the house/museum where the legendary painter of birds John James Audubon lived and worked. Audubon is best known for the hand-coloured aquatint plates in ‘Birds of America' – the finest book on birds. While Audubon worked from stuffed specimen Andrew works from life, ‘in situ', through acute observation and accurate representation and illustration of creature and habitat.
Painstaking in his research, he studies flora and fauna. Naturally he also researches the food of the creatures he intends to draw. It is a comprehensive ecological study of nature with particular attention to cross-reference; a holistic approach to habitat, the correct method to read the language of organic life. He transforms optical illusion into a chunk of reality, actuality, the atmosphere of place and acquires the nature, mood and character of creature. As if studied under a lens the creature is magnified and becomes larger than life in its manifold magnificence.
Andrew Micallef was born on the 7th of February, 1969. His parents always encouraged him further. Since an early age he drew to his heart's content. He sketched not necessarily better than his classmates but incessantly, profusely and relatively faster. After attending the elementary school at Zebbug probably a quaint, provincial and pastoral idyll he applied for a graphic design course at the School of Art and Craft at Targa Gap, Mosta, a theatrical site for spectacular manifestations of sunrise and sunset, clinging to a steep ravine, a belvedere overlooking the wonderful scenario below –the fertile valley of Burmarrad. Andrew married Fiona nee Hiher in 1997 and they have two daughters Martina and Luisa.
Andrew held his first personal exhibition in St. John's Co-Cathedral Annex in December 1986. Three years later, in June 1989 he organised his second exhibit in the enchanting environment of the Museum of Natural History – Vilhena Palace, Mdina, Malta's finest architectural jewel. The subject chosen for both exhibitions was ‘Bird Studies – Malta'. These exhibitions were highly recommended and appreciated by bird lovers, the Malta Ornithological society and by the general public. Since then Andrew has been commissioned to design several sets of postage stamps depicting local flora and fauna.
The subject of his latest personal show (the Museum of Fine Arts, Valletta, in August 1999) depicted our rich and splendid architectural heritage. Without a shadow of doubt one of his most successful pieces represents the ‘Wignacourt Fountain' that stands solid in front of Sarria church in Floriana. The very stones speak. Their texture is an eloquent and dexterous language, crystal clear and simple. The entablature, cornice, coat of arms and legend are fabulously realistic and the coherent unity of the composition is impeccable. The high level of articulate design is so defined and consistently maintained in several works. These include the ‘Advanced Gate, Vittoriosa', the fountain at the Main Guard, Valletta, the ‘Banca Giuratale, Mdina' and the church façade at Pinto Wharf, Marsa. The finesse of these drawings is laudable and reminiscent of the classical rigour of a Panini or Piranese.
Andrew is also a professional chromatic accordion player. He regales lovers of music in local nightspots with entertainment. He plays with delicate elegance and charming warmth. Such love of music and harmony surfaces in the even weave of his graphics and drawing.

The viscosity of quenching oil is related to its adhesion, carrying loss and cooling property.
On the premise of ensuring the cooling performance and flash point of the oil, the viscosity of the oil should be as small as possible, so as to reduce the carrying loss and facilitate the cleaning of the workpiece.
Kinematic viscosity is an important index of heat treatment oil, and its change reflects the aging degree of quenching oil.
Let's use the viscosity ratio.
Viscosity ratio = viscosity of service oil/viscosity of new oil
The ratio of kinematic viscosity of the oil in service (40 ° C, 100 ° C) to that of the new oil is recommended not to exceed 1.3.
The kinematic viscosity of quenching oil in China is 15-40mm2 /s(40 ° C) for cold oil and 15-50 mm2 /s(100 ° C) for hot oil.
Instruments for the experiment
1.SH112C automatic Pinshi kinematic viscometer was developed and produced by Shandong Shengtai Instrument Co., Ltd.
2. Comply with GB/T265 Pinnacle Viscosity Tube.
First, preparation work
1. After the instrument is unpacked, please count the accessories according to the packing list. If there is any damage, please contact our company.
2. The instrument should be carried vertically, and the tilt Angle along the height of the instrument should not exceed 30 degrees. It should be placed in a dark place and placed smoothly, otherwise there will be vibration after the start of the instrument, which will affect the service life of the instrument.
3, the instrument power supply is connected to the capacity of more than 220V/10A socket, pay attention to must have a good grounding wire.
Second, the experimental process
The functions of the instrument are described as follows according to different interfaces:
1. Switch on the machine and display the name of the instrument. After 2 seconds, it will automatically enter the test interface.
2. Test interface:
As shown in the figure above, there are two buttons on the top of the interface: "Main Interface", "Parameter Settings", "System Settings" and "Historical Data".
When the temperature of the constant temperature bath is equal to the set temperature, click "Start" constant temperature time to start the timing. When the set constant temperature time is reached, the timing will stop automatically. The buzzer will alarm for 3 seconds.
Press the "Stop" button to terminate the test without saving the test results.

Message from Wellington Market Management
It is with great regret that we are closing our market, in line with government guidelines on COVID-19. We are hopeful that by taking this action to reduce social interaction, we are able to unite together and pass the uncertainty that these times bring.
We are a small local business that houses over 43 small businesses; all of whom are also affected by Coronavirus. The impact on day-to-day living has become extremely difficult and the strain of lowering footfall has forced us to take control of the situation; in the interests of our staff, traders and the general public. Though we have a small number of food stalls, we are not specifically a food market. We feel that it will not be in your best interest to keep these running, based on the guidelines on social distancing and also the dramatic effect that you have seen in the UK supply chain industry.
Our traders are not a major Supermarket or Food Business with resource to offer services by takeaway or delivery; they are all self-employed and offer services where you are at the heart of our community. We hope in the future that you too will make a place for us in your hearts by supporting local businesses and shopping local.
We will continue to update our Facebook and website with any new developments. Please stay safe and look after one another.

The Foreign Trade Association (FTA) is disappointed by the Bangkok South Criminal Court ruling that has found British rights activist, Andy Hall, guilty of the charges of criminal defamation and computer crimes pressed by Thai-based Natural Fruit Company. These charges pertain to his actions in reporting labour abuses at the premises of the pineapple producer in a report called "Cheap has a High Price", published by Finnish NGO Finnwatch in 2013.
Following this decision, Mr Hall has been sentenced to four years in prison, which have been reduced by one year due to his record as a human rights defender, and to pay a 150 000 baht fine (3.800 euros approximately). However, the court will suspend the sentence and he will be free and able to travel.
FTA has been closely following the case and considers this decision a sad setback for human rights. FTA believes that cooperation, and not litigation, is the solution and that the right to freedom of speech should be respected and recognised to all organisations, in particular those working to protect human rights and improve labour conditions.
The association has repeatedly joined the international movement in support of Mr Hall, requesting Natural Fruit to drop the charges and pursue more constructive means of resolving issues with stakeholders, as well as concrete efforts to improve working conditions. FTA’s approach to social compliance is built on a step-by-step development process in which companies and their producers work together to achieve sustainable and long-lasting improvements in their supply chains. Since the publication of the report, FTA and its members engaged in positive dialogue with this Finnish civil society organisation in order to address the labour issues identified and BSCI participant S Group gave a step forward taking part in Mr Hall’s trial as key witness for the defence.
Thailand is an important trading partner for European retailers and importers. However, the lack of full alignment of domestic legislation with international standards and law enforcement in key areas such as illegal fishing and the protection of the environment are making sourcing operations of European companies increasingly risky. FTA has been involved in a series of discussions with the Thai government and representatives of the Thai industry and civic organisations to ensure progress is made in addressing these critical issues. The close cooperation of policy-makers and stakeholders led to tangible progress but more efforts are needed in order to meet the high sustainability standards of the European trade sector.

So many people want to provide great food to their dog but do not know where or how to start. If this is a problem for you, it might be time to look at your current bag of dog food and look at the ingredients. If you notice that a lot of the ingredients on the side of the bag are fillers and by-product meal, it might be time to change to something that is more wholesome and healthier for your dog. Purina Store Beneful is a brand of dog food that you know you can trust. More and more dog owners and pet owners are making the switch to Beneful. In fact, many shelters even use Beneful because of the range of products available and the fact that the products can be trusted because of the high quality ingredients that are constantly used. Be sure to look into Purina Beneful for yourself if you are looking to make a switch and provide something better for your dog. There are a whole lot of different brands out there, but the issue with many of these is either the price or the ingredients. Sure, you can save money by going with a lesser known brand, but this can negatively affect your dog’s health. You can also go with an overly expensive brand with great ingredients, but this can be too costly. By choosing Beneful, you are getting the best of both worlds in terms of quality and price. You do not need to spend a lot of money on dog food when there are a lot of options out there. Going with a brand like Beneful is a wonderful choice for any pet owner and can truly make you feel good whenever you fill their food bowl. The ingredients in Beneful are wholesome and healthy, allowing your dog to get the most out of their nutrition. There are other brands out there, but Beneful is a wonderful place to start for those who are looking to make this type of switch and would like to have better ingredients to provide to their dog each day.
Purina dog food is known among all dog parents as the best pet food because it is nutritious and keeps the requirements of dogs in mind. One great thing about Purina Beneful dog food is the fact that is cares for dogs a lot. It ensures that people who have dogs are aware about the specific needs of animals and how they are different from humans. Purina’s top product is Beneful and it is prepared after keeping a dog’s nutritional habits in mind.
A common problem owners face is dog aggression. Dog aggression can be intended or unintended and varies among different dogs. However, the way to deal with it is not through force but patience. In the following points, dog experts Purina Beneful offer some information and tips to deal with this behavior –
What Are The Different Causes Of Aggression? –
Fear – Fear is a huge motivator for aggression, reveal Purina experts. Dogs can be afraid because of other dogs or any situation where they feel that they are in danger. This can be thoroughly unprovoked. For instance, dogs that are rescued after being abused get afraid when a ball is thrown because they see the raised arm and think that they are going to be hit. In retaliation, they bite or growl.
Possessive or Territorial – Aggression can be due to territorial behavior. For instance, if the dog is taken for walks beyond the yard then the entire block might be considered to be a territory, particularly if it has been urine marked. This means that whenever a dog or another person approaches that area, the dog would act aggressively. Some dogs display aggression towards their toys and food.
Redirected – If dogs are cooped up in a yard that is fenced around and they see another dog, they start acting aggressive towards each other, mention Purina experts. This is redirected aggression. If something or someone threatens the dog, they can redirect that aggression to the nearest person or object. The intention may not be to harm or even intimidate but it is redirected and is often misconstrued.
Individual Situations – There are certain situations in which different dogs will act aggressively. For instance, when a dog is feeling left out and the door to the bedroom is closed with all the other dogs inside, the particular dog would act out and bite or growl towards the nearest person.
How Can You Deal With Aggression? –
Seek A Vet – There might be some medical problem behind a dog’s aggression and a vet should be consulted to rule out common ailments.
Neutering or Spaying – Neutered and spayed dogs rarely exhibit aggression, particularly male dogs, and this could be a solution.
Limit Location and Contact – If there are particular situations where the dog gets aggressive, those situations should be avoided at all costs.
Purina experts say that the problem of aggression does not go away on its own. Sometimes, it might be necessary to seek help from an animal behavior specialist who would help to rectify the problem.

Las Vegas Man Pleads Guilty To Transportation of Child Pornography
Las Vegas, Nev. - Daniel G. Bogden, United States Attorney for the District of Nevada, Ellen B. Knowlton, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for Nevada, and Clark County Sheriff Bill Young, of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, announce that THEODORE ALLEN FANGER, age 58, of Las Vegas, Nevada, entered guilty pleas in U.S. District Court yesterday to Transporting Child Pornography and Receipt of Child Pornography. FANGER also agreed to forfeit a computer that he used to transmit pornographic images of children.
According to the court records, in February 2002, an FBI Special Agent in Baltimore posing undercover in an internet chat room as a minor female, was contacted by FANGER who was using the screen name, "casinospvr." FANGER initiated sexually-oriented conversations with the agent and encouraged her to have sex with her father and with fathers of children for whom she babysits. FANGER also transmitted child pornography to the undercover agent over the internet. Subpoenas served on the internet service provider led investigating agents to a Las Vegas apartment. Local police obtained a state search warrant for FANGER's computer, and when the agents served the search warrant at the apartment, they found FANGER in his bedroom engaged in chat sessions on the computer. FANGER's computer was searched and found to contain approximately 9 pornographic videos of children and 20 pornographic images of children, including the ones he sent to the FBI Agent. FANGER's computer also contained fragments of sexually-explicit internet conversations about children between FANGER and others.
This was the first person in southern Nevada to be charged by the U.S. Attorney's Office with transporting child pornography. Numerous others have been charged and convicted for receiving and possessing child pornography.
FANGER is scheduled for sentencing on May 30, 2003, before U.S. District Court Judge Roger L. Hunt. Under federal statutes, FANGER faces up to 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each of the charges. The actual sentence, however, will be dictated by the United States Sentencing Guidelines.
FANGER will remain in custody pending sentencing.
The case was investigated by Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Detectives with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, members of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Nancy J. Koppe.

X Factor star Honey G made a huge impression when she appeared on the show in 2016.
She may have come in sixth position, narrowly missing the final, but she remains a superstar in her own mind.
And she firmly believes she can WIN the forthcoming X Factor All Stars – and get the coveted Christmas number one position in the charts.
The rapper, real name Anna Georgette Gilford, became a talent show legend three years ago with her Missy Elliot mash-up and performance of California Love (Remix) by Tupac Shakur.
Like Marmite, you either loved her or were “a hater” but fans voted her through until the quarter-final, when she found herself in the bottom two against 5 After Midnight.
After the sing-off, only her mentor Sharon Osbourne voted to keep Honey G, who was eventually eliminated.
Read more: Stacey Solomon wants to be an X Factor judge
She signed a record deal with Simon Cowell’s label, Syco Music, and released her debut single The Honey G Show that same year.
The single reached number 149 in the UK Singles Chart.
Despite this rather feeble chart ranking, the former recruitment consultant believes she’s the secret weapon to make X Factor’s celebrity version a success and vows to reach the Number One slot second time around.
In an interview with The Sun, she said: “I tick all the boxes. Give the people what they want and what the people want is Honey G.”
She added: “Nobody wants to see anyone sing a power ballad. My prediction is if they do that they’ll stick with the low ratings.
“I think I am their best shot at getting Christmas number one.”
Simon are you listening? Hello…? Anyone…?
All we know about X Factor All Stars so far, is that it is replacing the usual X Factor.
The overhaul will see the usual series replaced with two special editions of the show, including a new all-stars version of the show in which successful contestants from past series go head-to-head to be the ultimate winner.
It’s due to air in Autumn 2019.
Honey G – wait in for that phone call.

The Czech Mint dedicated the ninth platinum coin from the collector-investment cycle with motives of UNESCO monuments to the beauties of Třebíč.
The first mention of Třebíč dates back to 1101. The city has become an economic, administrative and religious center of south-western Moravia. Harmonious coexistence of local cultures of Christians and Jews ensured Třebíč unmistakable atmosphere. In the Romanesque-Gothic Christian St. Procopius Basilica you can see a unique biblical fresco or 700-years-old crypt with original wood ceiling. How is it possible that the timber has survived for so long? This is due to a special procedure when wood has been impregnated with lime milk for 80 years and has acquired stone-like properties. The town hall, poorhouse, hospital, schools, synagogues and cemetery with 3,000 stone tombstones are situated in the uniquely preserved Jewish quarter. What's more, it is the only evidence of Jewish culture on the UNESCO list outside Israel.
“The reverse side is dominated by the view of the St. Procopius Basilica and a part of the Jewish quarter. It is supplemented by two details - the broken arch refers to the architecture of the Christian church and the Star of David with menorah refers to Jewish traditions, ” the author of the coin Lenka Nebeská, DiS. explains. The composition is surrounded by mould, together with an inscription JEWISH QUARTER AND ST. PROCOPIUS BASILICA IN TŘEBÍČ. The obverse side of the coin, which is common to the platinum series, is dominated by a collage composed of architectural elements of various Czech buildings registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Since the Czech Mint coins are issued with the license of a foreign issuer, the island of Niue, the obverse side bears its necessary attributes, which means the nominal value of 50 DOLLARS (NZD), the name and the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. and the year of the issue 2019.
A special certificate of authenticity builds an integral part of the coin. The complete platinum collection can be stored in a wooden etui which can be found in the offer of the Czech Mint.

1 Determine Your Playing Level and Purpose
Before diving into the world of violin selection, assessing your playing level and understanding your purpose for playing the instrument is crucial. Identifying where you stand in your musical journey will guide you toward the most suitable violin for your needs.
Beginners, keep in mind that at this stage, it’s not about finding the perfect sounding violin, but rather an instrument that allows you to become acquainted with the violin and determine if it’s a hobby/career you wish to pursue further. Buying a beginner violin means opting for an instrument that balances affordability and decent playability. While the sound quality may not be as refined as higher-end violins, it still provides a solid foundation for learning to play the violin basics and developing fundamental skills.
The focus is on comfort, ease of play, and discovering the beautiful world of music. The most crucial aspect at this stage is fostering a love for the instrument and creating a positive learning experience that inspires a lifelong appreciation for the violin.
As beginners progress and gain more experience, they can explore high-quality violins that match their advancing skills and musical aspirations. So for intermediate and advanced players, the search for a higher-quality violin becomes essential. As your technique and proficiency grow, you’ll need an instrument that can keep up with your progress and provide the tonal complexity required for a more advanced repertoire.
Additionally, understanding your purpose for playing the violin is equally vital. Are you pursuing the instrument as a hobby, seeking to learn new skills, or aiming for a professional career as a violinist? Different goals may require varying levels of investment and quality in your violin choice.
By clarifying your playing level and purpose, you’ll be better equipped to narrow down your options and focus on finding the violin that perfectly matches your current skills and future aspirations.
2 Consider The Sound Of The Instrument, Quality, and Tone
Once you have clarified your playing level and purpose with the musical instrument, we can start talking about violins’ sound and craftsmanship quality. They play a vital role in shaping the player’s musical journey and overall satisfaction with the instrument. While beginners may initially prioritize affordability, it’s essential to strike a balance between cost and the instrument’s tonal characteristics.
When evaluating sound quality, try out various violins to get a sense of their unique tonal qualities. A good beginner violin should produce clear and resonant tones across the entire range. Although it may not possess the depth and complexity of higher-end instruments, it should still inspire the learner and allow them to explore different musical styles.

Part one Gender roles of diverse cultures have differed immensely throughout history. The evolution of gender roles first began in the Paleolithic Age and then began to transform with the transformation of the Paleolithic Age to the Neolithic Age. Women in Mesopotamia, India, Greece, China, and Rome were not treated as equals and viewed as inferior to men. Cultures like Egypt and Persia had similar laws for women and treated them with more respect out of any of the other cultures.
The Paleolithic Age was responsible for the introductions of many vital aspects of our world today such as, technology, agriculture, and gender roles.
The Paleolithic culture was based on a hunter and gatherer society, which had a great influence on the gender roles of males and females. For the most part, the men were responsible for the hunting, mainly due to their physical build. Genetically speaking, men are normally larger in size, stronger, and more aggressive in comparison to women.
Despite the large size and strength differences, both males and females were treated with equality. Women contributed to the Paleolithic society by being responsible for the gathering of edible plants and berries.
Although gathering plants and berries is considered to be less dangerous and fairly easy when being compared to hunting, gathering was considered to be one of the most important contributions to Paleolithic society. When men went off to hunt, there was no guarantee that they would always be able to bring back enough meat, if any, to feed the community.
The plants and berries gathered by the women were responsible for feeding the community daily, especially when the men were unsuccessful in their hunting trip.
Without the roles of both the women and men, the community would not have been able to survive. The Neolithic Age was the transformation and progression from the Paleolithic Age lifestyle. The transition of the different era’s influenced the gender roles of men and women, changing them based on the development of their new lifestyle. The main gender role difference between the Paleolithic Age and the Neolithic Age was male domination. Although men became much more dominant of the two genders, women were still treated with respect.
Because of the size and strength advantage men had over women, men were responsible for most of the hard manual labor, while women were given roles more suited for their weaker and nurturing nature. Men started to realize that instead of hunting and killing animals, they should capture, domesticate, and breed the animals because it would be more beneficial to the community in the long run and provide a more stable lifestyle. The women also realized the importance of stability and collected seeds for an assortment of plants and fruits so they could invest their time in farming plants instead of gathering them.
Because of the gathering role and responsibility women played in the past in the Paleolithic Age, women were very familiar with plants. Women understood how plants grew and the factors and environment needed in order to be successful in growing them, which is why women were responsible for the start of plant farming. Since communities did not have to relocate so often based on animal migration, and men and women did not have to spend several tiring hours searching for animals to hunt or food to gather, people had more time on their hands.
This extra time allowed women to concentrate more on looking after their families and children, cooking, cleaning, and sewing. This led to men virtually being responsible for all the difficult labor. Unlike in the Paleolithic Age where men and women were equal and relied on each other for survival, men no longer needed to depend on women as much. Most of the responsibility for survival was placed on the men which is what ultimately led to their dominance. The religions and laws developed in Mesopotamia prevented women from asserting control in society.
Elite classes such as priests and warriors manipulated religious beliefs to say male Gods were more valuable and dominant in comparison to female Gods. This led to justifying male domination over females in the Mesopotamian society. Men were in control and held the power, allowing them to abuse their wives, sell them into slavery to pay off debts, and partake in consensual sexual relations even if married, while women were drowned to death as punishment for committing adultery. In Mesopotamia, women were mostly responsible for tending to the children and household.
Women did not have the power to make life decisions for themselves and instead, relied on the men in their family to make those decisions for them. In Egypt, although men were the dominant gender in society, women were treated with great respect, which led to a very stable and successful society. The Egyptians believed that the goal of life was happiness and viewed home and family life as the main source of it. Egyptian law basically treated women as equals for the most part. Women were allowed to hold positions of power, own property, own slaves, receive an education, and even borrow money.
Although Pharaohs were normally men, certain circumstances allowed for women to hold the same title. The Egyptians believed that marriage and family were very important aspects in life. They believed that unconditional love and kindness were vital in a marriage and thought that husband and wife should always treat each other with respect. In regards to family, unlike many cultures that viewed children as another mouth to feed or another worker, Egyptians truly enjoyed their children and experienced much joy in their families. In India, public figures and important positions were given to men.
Although women did not have any public authority or receive any formal education, they were still considered to be important to society by having much influence when it came to family life and were supposed to be treated with respect from their family and husband. Sometimes it was difficult for women to take of the household due to their young age. Beginning as a child, women were taught that they were supposed to devote their lives to men. Very young child brides were quite common in India but ceremonies would not take place until the child had gone through puberty.
Also, according to the Laws of Manu, women were allowed to inherit property. Women could “influence affairs within their families but enjoyed no public authority” (Meridians, page 98). The Laws of Manu state, “deities delight in places where women are revered, but where women are not revered all rites are fruitless,” (Meridians, pg 78). The Code of Hammurabi does not give a lot of freedom to women. Also, the Code is very strict when it comes to marriage. The Code allowes fathers and brothers to arrange marriages and punishes cheating wives by sentencing them to death.
Different from the Code of Hammurabi, the Laws of Manu stresses the importance of husbands revering their wives and keeping them happy (Meridians, P. 78). China was a patriarchal society where men were considered to be the leader of the household. Although women were not normally seen as public figures, women were considered to be very valuable in the home and family. In the beginning, women were actually considered to be extremely important because the female side passed power and the line of succession.
However, there was one woman, Fu Hao, who stood out from all the rest during Shang times. Hao was in charge of her own estate and oversaw the sacrificial ceremonies that most men oversaw (Bentley & Ziegler, pg 124). In Perisa, family and clans were considered to be very important. The Persian culture was considered much more laid back in comparison to many others because classes were free and people were given the freedom to practice any religion, pursue any profession, and even borrow money to start their own business.
Unlike most cultures, women were able to enjoy social and legal freedoms and were a very active part of society. Women were treated with equality and respect. Females were permitted to take part in religious ceremonies and occasionally even serve as the priest. Their were no restrictions on relationships or marriage- young people in relationships were told to practice honesty and loyalty, and to always be faithful and share each others happiness (Notes on Iran, P. 1) .
When selecting a husband, women were instructed to be wise but free to choose who to marry on their own (Notes on Iran, P. 1). Many women took on jobs of weaving textiles and were given portions of grain, wine, beer, and occasionally meat from the imperial and temple workshops who employed them (Traditions & Encounters, P. 170). If the King passed away and the price was too young to rule, the kings wife was allowed to take the throne. Pourandokht was the first Persian Queen and was thought of throughout history as kind hearted and wise (Notes on Iran, P. 1).
Persians tended to have a close knit family and parents were encouraged to teach their children right and wrong and the importance of equality. In Athens, Greece, women were seen as inferior to men, not very intelligent, and thought of to have strong emotions. Women had guardians who were their closet male relative or husband. The guardian system was set up because Athenian philosophers, other than Plato, thought that women needed to be protected from themselves and society so they could not cause any damage to themselves or others (Women in the Ancient World, P. 2).
Women were not allowed to own any property other than clothing, jewelry, and slaves, and we only allowed to purchase inexpensive items. In order for a woman to gain citizenship, she had to marry a male citizen. Fathers were responsible for arranging marriages between their young daughters and older men who were normally in their twenties. Like Indian culture, the girls married after they went through puberty. The job of a wife was to have children and take care of their house. Wives were never supposed to leave their homes unless to attend special events or funerals.
If a married woman was seen outside of her home without it being any of the above occasions, people considered her to be a prostitute, slave, or so poor that she had no choice but to work (Women in the Ancient World, P. 2). Women from Sparta were different from much of Greece because they were able to own and inherit land. Spartan women were known to be bold and run the household, but were not supposed to be seen as too dominant over their husbands in public. The main purpose of marriage for people of Greece was not for love, but for the purpose of breeding (Women in the Ancient World, P. ). In Rome, women were constantly under the authority of men. Roman law insisted that women had to obey their fathers until they married, then in which case, had to obey their husbands. Even if a woman was widowed, she was still supposed to have some kind of male supervision of her finances (Women in the Ancient World, Rome). Roman men greatly valued marriage and treated their wives with great respect. Although women were never allowed to hold office, several men listened to the advice of their wives when not in public.
Women did not enjoy working and only did so if they were lower class and had to (Women in the Ancient World-Rome). The Paleolithic and Neolithic differed in gender roles due to the change in their lifestyles. In the Paleolithic Age, women and men were considered equals because they had to rely on each other equally in order to survive. The transition to the Neolithic Age caused men to dominant women since most of the responsibility for survival was placed on the shoulders of the men. Men no longer needed to rely on females as much as they had to in the Paleolithic Age.
Mesopotamian culture treated women with very little respect. Men were allowed to abuse their wives, sell them into slavery, and even commit adultery. If a Mesopotamian woman ever committed adultery, she would be sentenced to death. The Egyptian culture and Persian culture are most comparable to one another in the sense that they embraced family, love and marriage and treated women with immense respect and equality. In India, ever since women were children, they were always taught that they were supposed to devote their lives to their husbands.
Indian women had arranged marriages and married after they went through puberty, much like the Athens in Greece. In China, although women were normally not seen as public figures, they were considered to be very important in home and family life. Women of Athens, Greece, led very strict lives and were considered to be very weak minded and unintelligent. Like the Indian culture, they had arranged marriages and married mainly to breed offspring. Spartan women different from Athenian women in the sense they Spartan women were very as very bold and not weak minded at all.
In Rome, women were under the constant authority of men. However, despite this, Roman men took the advice of their wives when given in private, and were dominant when in the public eye.

Gavin Newsom Admits Why San Francisco's Homeless Were All Disappeared, “All These Fancy Leaders Are Coming Into Town...”
Progressives claim that through “permanent supportive housing” we can finally solve the zombie apocalypse taking over many cities run by the left. And that rather than focusing on addressing addiction or mental illness, progressives have implemented permissive policies that subsequently make everyone worse off.
By pretending to have compassion for individuals defecating on the street, progressives tell everyone and their grandmas that all it will take is a hug, welfare, and clean needles that will one day put an end to all this.
Well, it turns out that nothing will clean a progressive area faster than a visit from a communist leader.
One thing many progressive voters probably just learned is that elected officials in San Francisco will do anything to impress China but not the taxpayers who fund everything. But then again, progressive voters don’t really learn much.
Pooh Bear is coming to town and because of this, San Francisco was magically cleaned up ahead of President Xi Jinping's visit.
Click here for more info. But basically, it did not take much effort to glam up streets ahead of the U.S.-China summit, which included the removal of homeless camps around the city.
So, fixing the homeless situation has nothing to do with a lack of housing?
California Gov. Gavin Newsom admitted San Francisco’s major clean-up effort was done because foreign leaders were coming for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit taking place this week.
"I know folks say, 'Oh, they're just cleaning up this place because all these fancy leaders are coming into town.' That's true because it's true, but it's also true for months and months and months prior to APEC, we've been having conversations.” Newsom said.
So you're telling me that residents had to put up with this crap but it's justified because officials have been talking about it?
Officials somehow managed to clean up the city using existing budgets in just a matter of days. Why couldn't they have done this a long time ago?
But don’t worry, I am sure the homeless encampments will be back in no time.
“For years, Democrats said there was nothing more they could do to clean up cities. They lied. Look how fast they cleaned up San Francisco for a visit by China's leader. The reason Dems ruined West Coast cities is simple: they refuse to arrest addicts who break anti-camping laws,” Michael Shellenberger said in an X post.
It really is sad the fact that officials will do anything for a dictator engaging in extreme human rights abuses on its citizens but won’t do anything for the innocent people who are forced to live in filth every day.
When you see progressives enforcing policies that hurt innocent people, it makes you wonder if they are extremely stupid or extremely evil. At the very least, we now know they can fix it, they just don’t care enough to.

The new horror offering from Netflix, ‘The Haunting of Bly Manor,’ has a lot to say about the terrors we fight as well as the terrors we unwittingly fuel.
Washington DC’s mayor and police failed to provide basic protections to American citizens from an angry and extremely well-funded leftist mob.
Angry voices on the left continue to condemn Kyle Rittenhouse before we have all of the facts. What we already know paints a far more complicated picture.
The most violence-ridden cities in American are run by Democrats. Why then, should they be trusted to lead an entire nation of more than 330 million people?
Real leadership requires foresight. So why didn’t Biden anticipate the hostile scenes in Washington, D.C., Thursday evening, and attempt to stop the mob?
With their silence at the DNC and late response to the new wave of violence in Kenosha, Democrats remain cowed and timid in the face of lawlessness.
Antifa and Black Lives Matter protestors rallied and cheered at the announcement of the victim’s death, claiming that ‘he was a f—ing Nazi!’ and that ‘our community held its own.’
Kenosha police and U.S. Marshal agents stopped a caravan of vehicles filled with fuel cans and illegal fireworks in a Wisconsin city riven by riots, all thanks to a citizen tip.
Despite the governor’s declaration, rioters continued Tuesday night to burn down the Midwestern state’s modestly sized cities and attack local residents, their homes, and businesses.
As cities are held hostage by amateur warlords, it is time to remember that inaction in the face of hostility discredits conservatism a lot more than radical marches and riots.
Mexico is in a state of collapse, and Americans need to realize that the crisis underway south of the Rio Grande won’t stop at the border.
Over the past four days, Iranians have taken to the streets in several cities to protest corruption and living conditions in the repressive Islamic Republic.
Political tension in Macedonia is rooted deep within the identities of the people because ethnicity, rather than ideology, is the real divide between parties.
The last 25 years of urban unrest in America, and around the world, show how rapidly domestic tranquility can collapse when law enforcement steps aside or is overwhelmed.
All of this domestic turmoil comes at a time China and Russia are posturing and flexing their military might. These are dangerous times and miscalculations can bring tragic consequences.
It may be maddening to hear voices on the left support violent protests sometimes, and condemn it at other times. But there’s a method to this madness.
In the context of concerns about police brutality and growing mental health problems in our society, police officers discuss weak points in our social safety nets.

They have the same grey-green color, and are known for having the best texture and flavor of all lentil varieties. Because of this, they tend to be the most expensive type . One half cup of dried green lentils provides 24g protein, 10g fiber, 80mg calcium, and 4mg iron, according to the USDA .
Are lentils gluten-free?
The lentil came to the Americas in the early 16th century. During World War II, people began to see it as a low-cost, high- protein meat substitute. The lens-shaped bean comes in several varieties. The most common types are brown, green, and red. Dietitians like the gluten -free food because it’s got lots of nutrition.

Here's the thing about smoking: if you don't do it yourself, you tend to loathe it.
This thought kept running through my head this morning on my walk to work, while I was wedged in the middle of a crowd at the Harcourt Terrace pedestrian crossing, behind some smoker in a suit. His exhaled fumes seemed to be magnetically drawn to my face, and no amount of exaggerated coughing or shifting position could get me away – just vile.
Then, just after I'd moved up to his right, he turned his head in my direction to check on the oncoming traffic. Another billow was released. And this time, though I knew on a rational level that it wasn't intentional, it seemed to have been aimed right at me.
Ban smoking in public altogether, I thought, and let the bastards choke on their poison in private. See if I give a shit.
You could argue that a ban along these lines would be an incursion on civil liberties. But if you did, you'd be talking absolute bullshit – in what world is a ban on public urination okay, while this is not?
Of course, by now I've calmed down. Naturally. After all, nobody can stay that angry about any one topic all the time, and if they can, they're some class of skewed obsessive.
And that, I am not; but I do love the city, and I do love thinking of ways that it can be made more pleasant, more inclusive, more radiant and more 21st-century. So, despite my rage having subsided to a mild annoyance, banning smoking in public still seems like a very reasonable idea.
By some strange manner of coincidence, the Guardian just today published this piece about moves in Britain to introduce bans along these lines. A public smoke-free area is being trialled in Bristol, while the council in Brighton has launched a consultation about an outright ban on its famed beach.
We're generally proud of the fact that we were the first country in the world to ban smoking indoors in workplaces – something that was controversial at the time, but has become so widely accepted in just over a decade that it's hard to imagine things being any other way – so why don't we push forward and take the logical next step?
You could argue that a ban along these lines would be an incursion on civil liberties. But if you did, you'd be talking absolute bullshit – in what world is a ban on public urination okay, while this is not? After all, both create an unholy mess on the street, and at least one has the redeeming feature of being a natural biological function.
Sorry smokers, but I just don't see how you win this one. Smoking in public has got to go.

I enjoyed a visit to the exhibition Harmonious Complexity at the University of Dundee Tower Building. This is part of a season of events celebrating the 100th anniversary of the publication of D’Arcy Thompson’s book On Grown and Form.
The exhibition combines objects and documents from the University collection with works by several contemporary artists, including an entertaining animation of Archaeopteryx by Brendan Body (DoJCA) …
… in an ingenious ‘Pepper’s ghost’ style presentation.
There are also a number of panels describing new research being carried out in biomathematics and developmental biology, and even an interactive that lets you apply mathematical distortions to various images (very user friendly, no algebra involved).
As I said, I enjoyed the exhibition. I think I’d say it felt quite eccentric, but perhaps in the best possible way. It’s a rather eclectic collection of odd and interesting things. Scattershot is a term than might come to mind! My brain would have liked the panels about current mathematics to be laid out with a little more room for thought. I’m afraid I do find that there are some kinds of well fortified layout that I struggle to attack these days, maybe it’s an age thing.
However (!!!) odd, eclectic and (especially) eccentric are all adjectives that sit more than comfortably with events recalling D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson.
I found some of the letters fascinating. Some are exchanges between Prof. Thompson and other greats of his day, but I particularly liked a letter from D’Arcy to a good friend discussing the difficulties of persuading his publisher to make the second publication run of On Growth and Form be a revised reissue, with updated plates as well as texts. Inevitably this was going to involve the publishers in greater expense, and equally inevitably, DWT got what he wanted in the end.
So – the exhibition is something of a cornucopia of curiosities. If you like that sort of thing (and I do) it’s well worth a quick look if you’re in Dundee. If you are a true D’Arcy fanchild, you’ll know about it already and may be prepared to go further out of your way – while at the exhibition I met an enthusiastic visiting mathematician who’d traveled from Mexico via Oxford, and was very pleased that he had had the chance to drop in!
An exhibition celebrating 100 years of On Growth and Form, is at the Lamb Gallery (Tower Building, University of Dundee), 13 October – 15 December, Mon-Fri 09.30-19.00 Sat 13.00-17.00, admission is free.

Until 2017, Frédérique Vidal, a molecular geneticist and president of Nice Sophia Antipolis University in France, had no political experience and fewer political ambitions. But when she was asked to become the country’s science minister following Emmanuel Macron’s election as president in May last year, Vidal didn’t hesitate. It was a now-or-never opportunity, she says, to help put higher education, research and innovation at the heart of Macron’s plans for France’s most radical transformation in decades.
Nearly one year after her appointment, Vidal tells Nature about her experiences as a minister and why science is central to Macron’s agenda. This interview was translated from French and edited and condensed for clarity.
What persuaded you to join Macron’s government?
I’d first met Macron in 2016 and was really impressed by his thorough understanding of research, education and innovation issues, by how well he listened, and by the questions he asked. He sees things very differently from most other politicians. He puts both the collective interest, and the evidence on an issue or policy, up top, above partisan politics.
How has Macron’s election changed how the French government handles science and evidence?
Parliament now has many more people from civil society — including from the academic and education worlds. The president and this government are making it very clear that science, facts and knowledge must underpin public decision-making. The government doesn’t have preconceived or partisan positions on subjects, and instead really studies them in depth. No matter the topic we look at, we seek input from the best experts.
You frequently take part in the delegations accompanying Macron on official visits abroad. Why is that?
Official trips often include issues that have to do with research, higher education and innovation — including climate change, youth unemployment and economic development. When they do, President Macron asks me to come with him. As a researcher, there is a lot to learn. But it’s a truly unique experience.
Has France become more attractive for foreign investment, including in research and development (R&D), since Macron’s election?
Yes, it has — and yes, it’s very much a result of President Macron’s election. We saw, for example, the €3.5 billion in foreign investment announced by business leaders at the ‘Choose France’ meeting at the Palace of Versailles, just outside Paris, on 22 January — including investments by Google and Facebook in artificial-intelligence research. I don’t think this would have happened without the election of Macron. Confidence is not something that can be created by decree.
What are your plans for innovation and for encouraging start-ups?
Once a month, I invite a different group of young entrepreneurs to the ministry for an informal chat, to stay in touch with the issues that grassroots innovators face, and to ask them how we could make their life easier. A big problem in France is getting the transition funding needed to grow start-ups into larger companies. We have too many ‘old’ start-ups, but start-ups shouldn’t be old — they should either succeed or disappear. We also need to make it easier for researchers in the public sector to switch back-and-forth to the private sector.
France is famous for its generous tax credits supporting research, but some say that these don’t boost private-sector R&D enough and that they favour big companies. Are any changes in store?
The big industrial groups are experienced in managing these tax credits. The challenge is to make things easier for small and medium-sized companies. At the same time, the research tax credits are one reason why young entrepreneurs choose to locate their businesses in France, and why many of the big industrial groups keep their research labs here even if it’s not their biggest market. The system of research tax credits is important for French research.
Macron is very pro-EU. What ambitions does France have for science in the European Union?
France has high expectations for the next EU Framework research programme, Framework Programme Nine, which is due to launch in 2021. Our thinking on this is in line with the influential July 2017 Lamy report, which called for the EU to become a scientific, technological and economic powerhouse that can compete with the rest of the world, and recommended a substantial increase in the Framework budget. Besides the tools and approaches already used in Horizon 2020, we also need to develop breakthrough innovations; this could be the role of a dedicated agency.
We also want to boost France’s performance in Horizon 2020. The success rate of France’s applications for Horizon 2020 grants is the second-highest of member states, but we have the potential to do better. We will soon announce a national plan to improve the level of participation by French researchers in Horizon 2020.
How might Brexit affect research in Europe?
It is too early to have a clear view of Brexit’s consequences on European research, and negotiations between the EU and the UK are still ongoing. I’ll be very attentive to the way things evolve. We are keen to maintain a high level of partnership, despite the departure of the UK from the EU.

The most convenient way to travel within Armenia is on buses. Between the cities minibuses briskly scurrying, the fare of which is more than moderate. In the streets of Yerevan scheduled minibuses run almost without a pause in which the target position can be reached for just 100 AMD. In Yerevan between cities traveling by taxi is also very cheap. For 1 km in a taxi it will cost the same 100 AMD. Besides, you can rent a taxi for the day at a bargain price.
It is easy to see the sights of Armenia while you have organized tours. From the capital to Gyumri, Alaverdi and Lake Sevan can be reached by train, but the journey is quite long due to low speed and "Soviet-style" comfort.
There are not internal flights between two airports of Armenia - Yerevan and Gyumri.

South Korea`s trade ministry said on Wednesday it will take a dispute to the World Trade Organization against the United States for imposing high anti-dumping duties on South Korean steel and transformers.
The move comes after the United States in May 2016 slapped anti-dumping duties on Korean steel products and transformers of up to 60.81 percent by applying the Adverse Facts Available (AFA) provision.
The ministry said applying AFA rules allowed the United States to unfairly levy high anti-dumping duties without thoroughly verifying data available to them.
The trade ministry said in a statement it will request a bilateral discussion with the United States under the WTO agreement and notify the WTO on Wednesday.
