Our Social behavior Intervention Groups are designed to serve children with a variety of learning needs. All interventions are based on developmentally appropriate and research based practices in combination with behavioral principles and are individualized to fit the needs of the child and his or her family. Socialization groups serve children ranging in age from 30 months to 18 years. These groups target deficits in the areas of socialization, peer interaction, social communication, and behavior. The typical consumer-client ratio for Social Behavior Intervention Therapy does not exceed 3:1 with well-trained staff leading and implementing the goals of each child. These groups typically occur once per week for 90 minutes and are located in both the Sacramento and Auburn offices. The goal of this program is to generalize skills learned in the therapy setting to a parent driven, natural social environment.
Programs typically taught within the Social Group may include:
• Social: Making friends, peer pressure, turn taking, trading, sharing the spotlight
• Social Communication: Joining a conversation, eye contact, asking to play
• Behavior: Coping skills, asking for help, ways to gain attention


The spyderco paramilitary 2 blue has an overall length of eight. 3″ weighs 3.75 ounces, a 3. 4″ blade, and is manufactured in America. That is a more substantial knife, made to be the tactical knife or a heavy-duty utility folder. I also understand that for many, that is an EDC knife. Individually, the Para 2 is just a little bigger than what I on average of prefer to take, but my knife has seen lots of use on the weekends.
The Para 2 comes with a typical Spyderco drop point blade. It has been offered a complete flat grind and is manufactured out of 3.5 mm blade share. The knife contains a nice level of body, a fantastic suggestion and has proven to become a huge slicer. Rounding things out is a well edge that came excessively razor-sharp. I have found that it is an excellent knife for meals preparation.
Blade steel is the capable S30V. Knife fanatics will not need me to state much about S30V; it has been well known for about ten years now. Also for the uninformed, that is exceptional steel. It’s been usurped by S35VN along with other much more than premium steels over the year, nevertheless S30V continues to be a lot more than enough for many people. S30V is fairly simple to sharpen, has an excellent edge, and may hold an excellent working edge for a long time.
Control, Ergonomics And Pocket Clip
The Paramilitary 2 control is black G10 over nested stainless liners. The liners have been milled out significantly to minimize the excess weight, and at 3.75 ounces, the knife is quite light overall. The edges have all been perfectly curved and the liners flush with the G10. Everything is screwed with each other and you have an open building style with two pillars and an extremely huge lanyard loop. Overall, handle structure is first class.
Application and Lock
Application on the spyderco c81gpdbl2 is accomplished via an extra-large Spider-hole. In addition, I must say I do mean big. At 14mm in diameter, it is actually a much bigger thumb whole than I am used to – but I promptly grew familiar with it and today I definitely think it is great. Deployment is extremely fast, easy and constant. That is an excellent knife to take advantage of with gloves and guarantees an easy and easy deployment with every single flick. Burning that extra-large thumbhole is a set of huge phosphor bronze washers. These washers are extremely smooth and go as the knife breaks in. Therefore, deployment is merely exceptional.
One more thing I like about the compression lock is definitely how convenient it really is to disengage with one hand. It might take just a little practice initially; nevertheless, it is simple to close the knife one hand without putting your fingers close to the path of the edge – a complete impracticality with a liner lock or model lock. This creates the knife that is definitely fun to use. In circumstances of pure blade-flicking pleasure, I rank it up there with an axis lock.

All such evidence will be treated with absolute confidentiality.

The police yesterday recorded the statement of her husband Kedar who found the body of Bidushi in their flat when he returned from work on the night of Oct 22.
A case of accidental death was recorded initially but the DN Nagar Police revised it to one of murder after the post-mortem report indicated that Bidushi had been killed with a sharp weapon.
Kedar averred that his wife was a diabetic. Investigators therefore thought that she might have fallen on a glass showcase due to complications associated with the disease and in the process sustained fatal injuries.
Glass shards were seen sticking out of her neck, cheek, jaw and chin. According to Kedar, Bidushi often felt giddy and even fainted quite a few times.
Besides, it did not seem like a murder for gain because valuables were not stolen from the flat. Neither was there any sign of forced entry. In fact, Kedar used his own key to get into the flat on the day Bidushi died.
However, one of the neighbours told the police that a man had come to see Bidushi on the afternoon of Oct 22. The building's watchman corroborated the neighbour's version.
Reports say another man had visited Bidushi earlier in the day. The CCTV footage of all visitors to the building could be a great help to the investigators. Till the actual killer is discovered, the police have no option but to book unidentified persons for the crime.

WASHINGTON, DC -- The United States Monday (March 5) called on the Taliban to consider an offer for peace talks extended by Afghan President Ashraf Ghani.
Ghani at the Kabul Process peace conference last week unveiled a plan to open talks with the Taliban, including eventually recognising them as a political party.
In return, Ghani said the militants should recognise the Afghan government and constitution, a perennial sticking point in past attempts to open talks.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid maligned the Kabul Process, tweeting that the conference sought the Taliban's "surrender".
Principal Deputy Assistant US Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Alice Wells said she was struck by Ghani's proposal.
"I heard him offering a dignified process," she told reporters.
"This is not a surrender that's being offered to the Taliban but a dignified process for reaching a political framework," she said, adding that the Kabul conference was "a historic benchmark event."
Wells said the Afghan government had "listened carefully" to the Taliban and was responsive to a number of their requests.
Ghani's offer was "quite forward-leaning and frankly I think probably caught the Taliban by surprise", she said. "This was quite a courageous offer."
"We certainly encourage the Taliban to take this offer seriously," she said, adding, "It does put the onus on the Taliban to respond."
Last week, the Taliban said it was prepared to enter direct talks with the United States to find a "peaceful solution" to more than 16 years of war.
That statement, however, made no mention of negotiating with the Afghan government -- a condition that the US government has long stated is vital to any peace process.

Movie review: Documentary charts rise and fall of prima ballerina
March 12, 2014 10:33 PM
George Balanchine and Tanaquil Le Clercq in "Afternoon of a Faun: Tanaquil Le Clercq."
By Sara Bauknecht / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
In the canon of classical ballets, there are stories of dreamers, love triangles and tragic endings -- and sometimes the lives of the dancers who performed them can be just as riveting.
In "Afternoon of a Faun," director Nancy Buirski chronicles the rise and premature fall of prima ballerina Tanaquil Le Clercq (1929-2000), a muse to dance greats George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins. She inspired choreographers with her effervescent wit and charm and her long, lean build, which became the model for the physique of the Balanchine dancer still seen on stages. (Historically, dancers tended to be short, stocky and quick.)
Her career was cut short, however, when she contracted polio at age 27 while on an overseas tour with the New York City Ballet, where she was a principal dancer. She never danced again.
The story is seamlessly told through archival photos and remarkable black-and-white videos of Le Clercq on and off stage throughout her life. Some footage of Le Clercq performing with the New York City Ballet is a true treat for any dance aficionado (or just history buffs in general) to see. They excel at illustrating what made Le Clercq's movement and physical build stand out against other dancers of the time.
Interviews with former Balanchine assistant Barbara Horgan, past New York City Ballet dancers Jacques D'Amboise and Arthur Miller and close friend and dancer Pat McBride Lousada, among others, put the photos and videos in context with candid tales of Le Clercq's childhood, dance years and her journey to recovery and coping with partial paralysis. (She went on to write books, travel and help mentor the next generation of professional dancers.) Viewers also get the scoop on her marriage to Balanchine, who is said to have been smitten with Le Clercq since she was a student at the School of American Ballet.
Le Clercq's close yet, at times, contentious relationship with Robbins is highlighted through interviews with friends and colleagues and readings of letters they exchanged. This allows the late artists to have a voice, in a way, in the film and to tell their stories in their own words. The mix of interviews, archival footage and letter recitations are nicely paced, although the time spent illuminating Le Clercq's doldrums during her initial months with polio could have benefited from some more editing.
This film's appeal is that it's more than just a story about one of the most influential ballerinas of the 20th century. It's a story of the human spirit: its dreams, its dark days and its capacity to endure and reinvent itself.

Much like the 2021 season, NFL teams will be cutting down their preseason rosters by five players following each of the first two weeks of the preseason. With the deadline of 4 PM on Tuesday for teams to get to 85 players, the Steelers have announced their roster moves to be complacent with the NFL regulations. But even though the Steelers now have five less spots on their roster, they still made an addition by adding guard William Dunkle.
We have signed G William Dunkle and made six additional roster moves to trim the roster to 85 players. @BordasLaw— Pittsburgh Steelers (@steelers) August 16, 2022
By adding another player, the Steelers had to remove six players from their roster. As was reported earlier that the Steelers were expected to put two veterans on the Reserve/Injured List, there still had to be four players who were released. Here are the players who were let go to trim the roster down to 85 on Tuesday:
Players to the Reserve/Injured List:
S Karl Joseph
WR Anthony Miller
DT Doug Costin
OT Jake Dixon
P Cameron Nizialek
C Chris Owens
Both Miller and Joseph are vested veterans and can go directly on the Reserve/Injured list and do not have to pass through waivers. Karl Joseph left Saturday night’s game very early with a foot injury while Anthony Miller missed the contest with a shoulder injury.
For the other players who were released, two did not appear in the Steelers first preseason game. Both 2022 UDFAs offensive tackle Jake Dixon out of Duquesne and center Chris Owens from Alabama did not see the field for the Steelers on Saturday. Defensive tackle Doug Costin played 12 snaps for the Steelers and registered one tackle. As for punter Cameron Nizialek lack, he did all the punting duties for the Steelers first game where he had four punts for 177 yards with an average of 44.3 yards per punt with one touchback, one punt inside the 20 yard line, and a long 53 yards. With Nizialek now released, the punting duties now fall to Pressley Harvin III for the final two preseason games.
As for the Steelers newest member of the roster, William Dunkle was a 2022 undrafted free agent out of San Diego State. After not being selected in the draft, Dunkle was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles. Dunkle was released this past Sunday after appearing in the Eagles first preseason game on Friday. In Friday’s game, Dunkle played 25 snaps at right guard.
Stay tuned to Behind The Steel Curtain as the Pittsburgh Steelers continue their final week of training camp in preparation for Saturday’s preseason matchup in Jacksonville against the Jaguars.


Bagpipes are considered Scotland’s national instrument and are a powerful symbol of Scottish culture.
They are a class of musical instrument known as aerophones. The instrument is filled with air, which is gathered in a bag and then expelled and controlled to create musical notes.
Various forms of bagpipes have been played for centuries throughout Europe, Asia and North Africa but the Scottish Great Highland Bagpipe or GHB is native to Scotland and is probably the best known.
The GHB consists of a bag and five pipes: three drones, a blowpipe and a chanter or melody pipe. The piper blows into the blowpipe to inflate the bag, keeps pressure on the bag to push air into the drones and chanter, and fingers the chanter to make the tune.
It is the interplay of the melody notes against the steady tones of the drones that creates the distinctive sound of the bagpipes.
By applying pressure on the air bag with the arm as he or she draws breath, the piper maintains a steady pressure and an even tone from the instrument.
Lowland bagpipes differ from the GHB in that instead of blowing into a pipe to fill the bag, the piper uses his or her arm to squeeze bellows that blow air into the bag. Lowland pipers often play seated while Highland pipers always stand and often march about.
Today, bagpipes are mostly used in military and regional pipe bands and to accompany Scottish country dancing. They produce two main styles of music. Ceol Mor or pilbroch is considered the classical music of bagpipes and tends to be slow and stately. Ceol Beag refers to dance music such as reels and jigs.
The earliest references to bagpipes in Scotland are in a military context. Records of the Battle of the North Inch of Perth in 1396 mention “warpipes” being carried into battle. In the Second Battle of El Alamein in 1943, a piper led each attacking company.
Bagpipes would originally have been made of locally available wood, such as holly or laburnum, with the air bag made of thin, supple leather. As trade routes opened up, more exotic woods became popular, particularly ebony and African blackwood.
The ferrules, decorative rings around the blowpipe, chanter and drones, were once made of ivory but are now usually silver or plastic.
Although modern bagpipes are sometimes made with synthetic materials, particularly for instruments used in pipe bands where uniformity of sound is important, the traditional art of hand crafting bagpipes is still going strong across Scotland.

Everyone is obsessed with the TV adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale at the moment – and, heeding the advice of Elisabeth Moss (who plays titular handmaid, Offred), we’re trying not to binge-watch. Partly because each episode is so emotionally draining, but also to make sure that we don’t miss out on any cultural references, sneaky extra details or hidden symbolism.
This return to delayed televisual gratification, however, perhaps isn’t working all that well as it seems as if we all missed out on a pretty big Easter egg – hidden in plain sight.
Speaking to Jezebel, Ane Crabtree – who designed the costumes for the hit dystopian drama – explained that she included a subtle ode to the female reproductive system on the uniform of Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd).
“There’s this element of a vagina, inverted on the Aunts’ outfits,” she said.
Crabtree went on to explain that this costume detail was partly inspired by the work of seventies artist Judy Chicago, who painted female body parts on to dinner plates.
However, for the most part, she decided to include the ‘hidden vagina’ as a silent form of rebellion against the misogynist theocracy of Gilead.
“It came from that whole sentence I gave myself to be a Commander [in order to create] these imprisonments called costumes for everybody,” she said. “I wanted to put little ‘f**k yous,’ little humorous secrets for the women in the clothing.
“Like, ‘You might think that you’ve put this military, long, priest-like robe on me as an Aunt, but there’s not gonna be a cross around my neck, there’s gonna be a f**king giant vagina!’”
The secret symbol of the feminine is tiny – so tiny that it’s almost impossible to see on screen, in fact. But that’s a big part of its appeal.
“For me it’s a way to scream without physically screaming,” said Crabtree.
This wasn’t the only tiny extra detail that Crabtree included in the costumes: eagle-eyed viewers may also have noticed that Offred and her fellow handmaids wear bloomers and petticoats with “triplicate folding”, as well as nightgowns with three ‘windows’ on the chest. Again, this was a conscious decision on the costume designer’s behalf.
“There’s something that happens to me in times of great concentrated creativity, where I wake up at 3:33 a.m,” she said. “I started reading into, What does 3:33 mean?
“Being from the South, being raised Christian, I called up people in Kentucky and they were like, ‘Oh, that’s the father, son, and holy ghost, that’s the trinity.’”
In this dystopian society which places women firmly ‘Under his Eye’, the ‘ceremony’ – or, to call it what it is, the rape – between the Commander (Joseph Fiennes), his wife (Yvonne Strahovski) and Offred includes a reference to the Holy Trinity.
“During the ceremony, the rape essentially, there’s a petticoat that they wear; there’s a triple folding at the bottom, which again, it may never be on camera,” said Crabtree.
She says this is symbolic in itself: the Commanders cite the Holy Trinity as their reason for rounding up fertile women and forcing them into a life of sexual servitude and surrogacy. Similarly, they insist that these monthly rapes are committed in the name of God – yet it is incredibly apparent that they have twisted the words of the Bible to fit their own dark motives.
It is lost in translation and the hidden nod to the father, son, and holy ghost is similarly hidden (or lost) within the scene, too.

JIS: Minister of Education, Youth and Information, Senator the Hon. Ruel Reid, says students in Jamaica’s public school system have been performing admirably and, as a consequence, will become one of Jamaica’s finest generations of adults.
Speaking with JIS News during a tour of four schools in Brown’s Town, St. Ann, on January 23, Mr. Reid expressed confidence that “this generation is not lost”.
“The students who are currently in school are doing very well. They are getting even better prepared for school, so it is important that as Minister of Education I encourage the teachers and the leadership that for us to transform Jamaica, we have to get it right with this generation,” Senator Reid said.
“There is no excuse anymore. While we have to deal with some of the other issues for the unattached youth, my job now is to make sure that from zero to 18, everybody remains in school, and by the time they leave at grade 13, they are certified to transition to the world of work or higher education,” he added.
The schools toured are in the Ministry’s Region Three, and include Servite Primary School; and St. Hilda’s, York Castle and Brown’s Town High Schools.
Senator Reid explained that the visit forms part of his regular scheduled tours that see him “getting out of the office and going to different schools in the regions”.
The Minister, along with officials from the Ministry, including building inspectors, also did a first-hand assessment of the schools’ properties, including the canteen at the Servite Primary School, which was recently refurbished and equipped.
“I toured the canteen and I saw very significant improvements… including a new freezer, new fans and general improvement of the roof, and they are very happy with that,” he said.
Senator Reid said he is pleased with the performance of the school. “When I look at their grade-four literacy and numeracy, it is very high. They are doing very well at GSAT, and I had an opportunity to interact with their students and they are doing really well,” he told JIS News.
The Minister said additional work will be undertaken to improve a section of the school’s roof.
“I did promise also, that we will give them some more information technology (IT) support, because IT is part of the means by which we deliver our curriculum. It is far more student-friendly and teachers will certainly see that using technology enhances teaching and learning and the overall outcome for our students,” he said.

On the 7th of September 1533, Anne Boleyn birthed a daughter – the future Queen Elizabeth I of England. It happened at Greenwich Palace, where Queen Elizabeth of York had given birth to King Henry VIII. At first, Anne’s pregnancy had been without any complications, and the proud mother coped with a long coronation procession and exhausting pageants at the beginning of June 1536 when she was about 6 months along in her pregnancy. It nevertheless appears that at the late stages of her pregnancy, Anne had felt unwell and tired easily, so there had been no royal progress that summer, which Henry and Anne had spent at Windsor Castle.
Upon the monarch’s orders, a special chamber for Anne’s confinement had been prepared at Greenwich Palace at the end of August. The court had moved to Greenwich, and on the 26th of August 1533, after a Mass at the Chapel Royal, Anne had entered her confinement. Another procession formed as the courtiers and the king accompanied Anne to the door of her bedchamber, where they parted ways according to the traditions of the time. Anne entered together with her ladies-in-waiting and lived only in a female world, attended solely by women until the birth of her baby and her churching 30 days after. Such ceremonies emphasized in the eyes of a medieval and Renaissance person that childbirth was an exclusively female business.
The British historian David Starkey describes in his biography about Elizabeth I:
“The walls and ceilings were close hung and tented with arras – that is, precious tapestry woven with gold or silver threads – and the floor thickly laid with rich carpets. The arras was left loose at a single window, so that the Queen could order a little light and air to be admitted, though this was generally felt inadvisable. Precautions were taken, too, about the design of the hangings. Figurative tapestry, with human or animal images was ruled out. The fear was that it could trigger fantasies in the Queen’s mind which might lead to the child being deformed. Instead, simple, repetitive patterns were preferred. The Queen’s richly hung and canopied bed was to match or be en suite with the hangings, as was the pallet or day-bed which stood at its foot. And it was on the pallet, almost certainly that the birth took place. At the last minute, gold and silver plate had been brought from the Jewel House. There were cups and bowls to stand on the cupboard and crucifixes, candlesticks and images for the altar.”
Henry and Anne had been assured by astrologers that she carried a son. However, their predictions were wrong: at 3 o’ clock in the afternoon, on the 7th of September 1533, the bonny red-haired baby girl emerged from Anne’s womb. There was no Salic law in England preventing females from inheriting the throne, but female ascension was undesirable. Everyone, including Henry, remembered how Empress Mathilda, the only surviving legitimate child of Henri I of England, and her husband, Geoffrey of Anjou, had fought against King Stephen of England during the Anarchy. The civil war had devastated the country for years and ended with Stephen’s consent to make Mathilda and Geoffrey’s eldest son – Henry Plantagenet, the future Henry II of England – his heir. Henry VIII was afraid of allowing any of his daughters to succeed him, so the birth of Elizabeth crushed his hopes for a boy into smithereens.
The jousts that had been planned to honor the birth of his son were all cancelled. The baby girl’s birth – a princess of doubtful legitimacy in the eyes of many – did not need to be celebrated in public. King Henry, who had moved heaven and earth to marry Anne, must have been extremely furious and disappointed in his second wife. The royal heralds announced the birth of Henry’s first legitimate child – such an amorphous promulgation! The choristers of the Chapel Royal sang The Te Deum in accordance with tradition, and bonfires were lit throughout the country with little enthusiasm. The people, most of whom were Catholics and supported Catherine of Aragon, did not love Anne Boleyn, considering her a homewrecker, a wanton woman, and a usurper.
Elizabeth nonetheless received a splendid christening ceremony when she was only 3 days old. It took place on the 10th of September 1533 at the Church of Observant Friars at Greenwich. Anne remained confined to her apartments until her churching. Elizabeth’s godfather was Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, who was one of the few people who genuinely loved Anne Boleyn and would later regret her death. Her godparents also included: Agnes Howard née Tylney, Dowager Duchess of Norfolk; Margaret Grey née Wotton, Marchioness of Dorset; and Gertrude Courtenay née Blount, Marchioness of Exeter. I am certain that Anne loved her daughter dearly, but from that moment onwards, Henry’s passionate feelings for her started cooling.
Anne had conceived Bess quickly after having her first intercourse with Henry, presumably during their meeting with King François I of France in Calais in October 1532 or very soon after their return to England. Anne could also be with child in 1534. In one of his letters to Emperor Charles V (dated the 28th of January 1534), the Imperial ambassador Eustace Chapuys mentioned that Anne was pregnant. George Taylor, who was in Anne’s employ for a few years before her coronation, informed Lady Lisle about the queen’s condition on the 7th of April 1534:
“The Queen hath a goodly belly, praying our Lord to send us a prince.”
In July 1534, George Boleyn went to France to ask for a postponement of another meeting between Henry VIII and François I. It means that Anne was most likely pregnant in the first half of 1534, and yet no healthy child was born. However, the baby could not vanish into thin air! She probably miscarried her second baby she conceived shortly after Elizabeth’s birth. Anne might have conceived in 1535, but there is no proof of this, save a sentence from William Kingston’s letter to Lord Lisle on the 24th of June 1535 when Kingston wrote:
“Her Grace has as fair a belly as I have ever seen.”
There is no other information about the result of this pregnancy, and we do not know whether it is true. Maybe there was an error in dating this letter, or Anne could have expected another baby again, but in this case, she lost it. Anne was definitely pregnant in 1536. On the 24th of January 1536, Henry was unhorsed during a tournament, and on the 29th of January 1536, shortly after the jousting accident, she suffered another miscarriage of a male fetus of several months in gestation. Eustace Chapuys, a devout Catholic and Catherine’s staunch supporter, wrote that Henry, during his visit to the queen’s bedchamber after the tragedy, said very little except for:
“I see that God will not give me male children.”
Following the disaster, King Henry was distant from Anne, growing more enamored of Jane Seymour. He left Anne at Greenwich to convalesce and went to the Whitehall Palace to mark the Feast of St Matthew. Anne’s enemies claimed that she miscarried “shapeless mass of flesh”, which could lead the monarch to believe that God had cursed his second marriage. Was it really a deformed male child? The only source suggesting that it was so was Nicholas Sander, a Catholic recusant writing during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I; he was hell-bent on slandering the long dead woman and is untrustworthy. Therefore, Anne had at least 2 or perhaps 3 pregnancies.
Alison Weir writes about the reasons for Anne’s misfortunes:
“The real reason for the miscarriages may have been that Anne was one of the small minority of people who are rhesus negative and who, during a first pregnancy which results in a healthy child, may produce in the bloodstream a substance called agglutinogen, which destroys rhesus-positive red cells in any subsequent fetus, usually with fatal results. Such a condition was of course unknown in the sixteenth century – it was not identified until 1940.”
Catherine of Aragon was married to King Henry for years before he commenced questioning the validity of his union with her. She had at least 6 pregnancies, but historians have always speculated on the number. Hester Chapman believes that Catherine was with child 7 times; Pollard brings the number up to 10, which seems doubtful. Opinions of historians differ, but we know that Catherine’s marriage to Henry produced one surviving daughter, Mary Tudor, while all of their other children were stillborn or died shortly after birth or were miscarried.
In Anne’s case, we have evidence only for 3 pregnancies: the first one resulted in Elizabeth’s birth and 2 ended with miscarriages. In 1536, Chapuys wrote to his master (a letter dated the 10th of February 1536) that Anne miscarried on the day of Catherine’s funeral, meaning that the tragedy happened on the 29th of January 1536. Jane Seymour birthed Henry’s long-awaited male heir – the future King Edward VI, but she died soon after the labor, so we do not know whether she would have suffered numerous miscarriages just as Catherine and Anne did.
Some researchers think that a rare blood disorder could be the reason why King Henry had only few surviving children by his 6 wives. Henry could have been ‘Kell positive’, which is a rare blood type that might cause fertility problems. If he was ‘Kell positive’ while his wives were ‘Kell negative’, then each of his conceived babies had a 50-50 chance of inheriting the condition. If a baby is also ‘Kell negative’, a mother is likely to have complications during all future pregnancies because the antibodies she produces during her first pregnancy will attack future ‘Kell positive’ babies in her womb, triggering miscarriages. If Henry suffered from type II diabetes, this could explain the fertility problems of his queens, particularly Catherine’s, for diabetes results in low sperm count and erectile dysfunction. It might also explain the lack of pregnancies in his marriages after Jane Seymour. Another possibility is that Catherine and Anne might have been victims of the time because there was not much known about prenatal care back then.
There are other theories explaining Henry’s reproductive problems. Some say that Henry could have had syphilis that could explain his ill health, as well as his wives’ repeated miscarriages. In the Middle Ages, syphilis was treated with mercury, but there are no records that Henry received treatment of this kind. Moreover, he had 3 healthy legitimate children and at least one illegitimate child – Henry Fitzroy. The treatment of syphilis with mercury originated in the early 1530s when the physician Paracelsus first prescribed it. Thus, if Henry had become infected with this venereal affliction before he married Catherine in 1509, his syphilis could have reached its latent stage by the time Paracelsus first used mercury. Yet, this theory cannot be confirmed.
Perhaps Anne was Rhesus negative (Rh-), so her body rejected all Rhesus positive babies after the first pregnancy, causing further miscarriages. Thus, she successfully gave birth only to Elizabeth and lost all of her other children, assuming that Henry was Rhesus positive. However, we have to wonder why Catherine suffered even more miscarriages than her younger rival. Anne was under more stress: she knew that she did not have as many years as Catherine had to produce a male heir. It is difficult to imagine the horrible anxiety Anne felt knowing that she had to deliver a son urgently, so stress could have triggered her miscarriages. This nevertheless does not explain why Catherine’s tragic childbearing history exhibited the same patterns as Anne’s did.
I think King Henry had a rare blood disorder. The detrimental effects of inbreeding must have had a significant impact on Henry’s health and his reproductive ability. Henry’s parents were cousins: Elizabeth of York and Henry VII both descended from John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster, who was a son of King Edward III of England and his consort, Philippa of Hainault. This makes his parents 3rd cousins! The Beaufort line was also inbred if we look at their ancestry tree. Henry VIII was rather closely related to 2 of his wives: Catherine of Aragon and his last spouse, Catherine Parr, for the 3 of them shared common ancestry starting from John of Gaunt. Anne Boleyn descended from Edward I of England and his daughter Elizabeth of Rhuddlan, yet while King Henry VIII also descended from Edward I, Anne and Henry were not very closely related.

German edition of Erdogan-critical newspaper goes out of print

He added that the German version of the paper, founded in 1990 in Offenbach but based in Berlin since 2011, got 70 percent of its content from Zaman's Turkish operation. The newspaper employed seven German journalists and had a circulation of 8,000 copies. A PDF version of the newspaper will be available until the end of the year, Bag said. (dpa)

And the males in the family go to the temple and study all day. I'm all for faith, but how can one justify this in the name of any religion?
Anyway, Clara can't deal with the working conditions and starts looking into unionizing. The men are beginning to become organized, but they see no need to include women. So not only does Clara have to fight the women to get them to join, but she has to fight the men to include them. She spends many days picketing, loses her job, and is beaten more than once. Ultimately her efforts lead to a massive 20,000 worker uprising.
She's an inspiration. One that most people have probably never heard of. This is a story worth hearing, and it's quick. Audacity is written in verse and is easy to follow. I wasn't blown away by the format, but it also didn't hinder me. The Historical Note at the end and the interviews with Clara's family add much to the story.
Audacity would be a great classroom read that would provide a lot of food for discussion. The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire occurs shortly after this and might be an option for further study. Yet another historical fiction that I need to push to my teens. I think they will like Audacity, if I can convince them to try it.

The NYPD cop who shot and killed unarmed Bronx teen Ramarley Graham in 2012 turned in his gun and badge on Sunday — after learning that he was on the brink of being fired, authorities said.
Officer Richard Haste has decided to quit the police force following a departmental trial related to Graham’s death.
The 35-year-old was found guilty of all charges on Friday — including using poor tactics — and had been told that Deputy Commissioner of Trials Rosemarie Maldonado was going to ask Police Commissioner James O’Neill to fire him.
“Officer Richard Haste decided to quit the NYPD upon being informed that on Friday March 24th the Department Trial Commissioner found him guilty on all counts and recommended his employment be terminated,” the NYPD said in a statement.
“Police Commissioner O’Neill has fully concurred with the findings and recommendations of the Trial Commissioner.”
The departmental hearing for Haste — who shot and killed the unarmed Graham, 18, on Feb. 2, 2012 after chasing him inside his Bronx apartment — concluded in January.
A Bronx grand jury had previously indicted the cop in Graham’s death in June 2012, but a judge chose to toss the case out after the assistant district attorney made a technical mistake before the trial. A second attempt to indict him later failed.
“He was exonerated by both a state and federal grand jury,” Haste’s lawyer, Stuart London, told the Associated Press.
“The New York City Police Department Firearms Discharge Review Board found the shooting to be justified,” he said. “All of officer Haste’s actions were performed in good faith. He never should have been forced to resign based on tactics alone.”
Sources told The Post that Haste initially planned on fighting the guilty verdict, but changed his mind because he wanted to obtain a “Good Guy letter” from the NYPD — allowing those who retire or leave the department to carry a concealed firearm.
The documentation, which is almost always given to retiring full-duty cops, is a certificate signifying that the officer is “of good character” and competent to continue carrying a gun, despite now being a civilian.
As a result of his resignation, Haste — who was vested in the NYPD pension program — will not be granted his “Good Guy letter,” sources said.
He also won’t be eligible to receive his reduced pension until after the 20th anniversary of his appointment to the police department.
Graham’s mother, Constance Malcolm, said Sunday she felt Haste had ultimately gotten off easy.
“Every step of the way, the mayor and NYPD have dragged their heels and have refused to hold officers accountable for murdering my son,” she seethed in a statement. “How is my youngest son supposed to trust and believe in cops when he saw they murdered his brother in front of him and there is zero accountability?”
Mayor de Blasio, on the other-hand, said he believed justice had been served.
“The NYPD disciplinary trial of Richard Haste ended with the right decision: termination,” the mayor said in a statement Sunday night. “Ramarley Graham was a son, a friend and, most importantly, a young man with his whole life left to live. Nothing can take away the profound pain left after his loss, but I hope the conclusion of this difficult process brings some measure of justice to those who loved him.”

Arun Jaitley defends GDP growth rate revision under previous UPA
He said the revised numbers, based on a new formula with 2011-12 as the base year, are globally more comparable as they take into account a far greater representation of the Indian economy and are more reflective of its real state
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday defended the revision in India's GDP growth rate during the previous UPA era, saying it was done by a "highly credible" organisation, the Central Statistics Office (CSO), which maintains an arm's distance from the finance ministry.
He said the revised numbers, based on a new formula with 2011-12 as the base year, are globally more comparable as they take into account a far greater representation of the Indian economy and are more reflective of its real state.
Taking on Opposition Congress for criticising the revision, he said the Congress had welcomed the upwards revision in growth numbers of the last two years of the UPA regime by the same CSO and had gone to the extent of saying that the "the new GDP series has conclusively established that we did not mismanage the economy". Later in a blog post, Jaitley said the revised economic growth data has taken away Congress party's last surviving argument "my GDP growth was higher than yours".
A day after Chief Statistician Pravin Srivastava, in an unusual move, announced the revised numbers based on back series data alongside Niti Aayog Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar, Jaitley said, "I don't think any service is being rendered by people who choose to discredit a highly credible organisation like the CSO because its data is based on facts and the revised formulations, (and it is) a continuous exercise because every time you try and improve upon the formulations to make them more representative of the real state of economy." The new numbers show India's economic growth rate averaged 6.7 per cent during the Congress-led UPA regime as compared to 7.3 per cent under the present government.

Pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum are topics that have been under study for so many years. Pregnancy is a unique, exciting, and joyous moment for a woman since it is the period in which they portray their creative and nurturing powers while offering a bridge to the future. Pregnancy comes with a cost, and it is also a period that demands a woman to be healthy and careful with their diets to support the health and future conditions of their children. A growing fetus entirely depends on the healthy body of their mothers for all needs. Hence, a pregnant woman must take the initiative of being healthy and well-nourished as they can. Concerning childbirth, different studies have been carried out to discuss and analyze the process before, during, and after birth. It is a complex process that requires proper preparation, both financially and physically. The physical aspect of the preparation needs an expectant woman to be healthy before the process and be physically fit. Researchers have also extensively worked on postpartum to establish the activities that take place in a woman's life after delivery. The main objective of this paper is to review different works of literature on pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum.

Literature Review on Pregnancy
Pregnancy is the period between fertilization and the delivery of a baby. It usually takes nine months, but there are cases of early and late delivery, which makes the duration flexible. As discussed by Whiting (2018), pregnancy can occur between puberty which represents the maturation of the genital organs and the advancement of secondary sexual features and the onset of menstruation and menopause, or the period that marks the end of fertility in a woman. Immediately after the egg is released, fertilization occurs in the fallopian tube, a hollow tube between the ovary and the uterus that relays eggs to the uterus during the menstrual cycle. Witt (2008) also observed that fertilization occurs in the fallopian tube, after which the zygote moves to the uterus where implantation occurs. Witt noted that when implantation fails, pregnancy fails. In most cases, pregnancies are single, but there are other cases where multiple pregnancies arise, which result in twins, triplets, or more. There are three stages of pregnancy, known as trimesters. During the first trimesters, the placenta develops and releases human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). This hormone regulates the corpus luteum, which increases the density levels of blood vessels in the uterine lining and nourishes the growing fetus (Prakash, 2018).
The views expressed by Prakash relative to the growth of uterus are also coherent with the sentiments of Whiting (2018), who observed that after the fetus has started developing, the uterus grows, and the mother might experiences symptoms such as nausea and breast tenderness. An expectant woman also frequently urinates experiences fatigue, headaches, and lowered sexual desires. The modification of the cardiovascular system during the first trimester is caused by the relaxin hormone and initiates labor and enhances baby delivery by dilating the cervix and increases the flexibility of ligaments and pubic bones. The hormone also increases the flow of blood from the heart. Fink et al. (2012) also observed that relaxation could also be applied by expectant women in enhancing delivery since it reduces maternal heart rate and blood pressure. Prakash also noted that relaxation is also integral in lowering the cortisol levels in pregnant women, minimizing the fight and flight response. Prakash reiterated that relaxation exercise should be routinely prescribed to expectant women who encounter anxiety or stress to enhance their psychological well-being. The findings made by Prakash were also coherent with the discoveries made by Witt (2008), who observed that relaxation positively impacts birth weight, labor duration, gestation length, and relaxation prematurity. Witt summarized his study by noting that relaxation has positive effects on both the mother and child during pregnancy, labor, and after birth.
The experiences of a woman during the second trimester were heavily covered by Fink et al. (2012) in their study of the relaxation during pregnancy. They observed that the period begins from the 13th week through to the 27th week, a period that is characterized by the continuous growth of the fetus. Just as observed by Witt in his study, expectant women experience nausea, fatigue, and headache during this period. Pregnant women also gain weight due to reduced nausea, but they encounter indigestion and increased urination. The expectant woman also feels the movement of the fetus, and she shows the physiological modifications connected to pregnancy. Parkash (2018) also observed that during this period of pregnancy, the skin also develops stretch marks since the torso expands to accommodate the growing fetus. He also noted that Braxton-Hicks, which also are known as preparatory contractions, occur during this stage, and they do not signify the onset of labor.
The concepts expressed by Parkash, Fink et al., and Witt all seem to be coherent in the third and final trimester, which lasts from week 28 to delivery day. The period is marked by elevated heartburns and fluid retention, which leads to swollen ankles and wrists. Pregnant women also experience backaches, which is caused by the heavyweight of the baby. The abdominal skin darkens as well during this period, and the level of progesterone hormone reduces while those of estrogen and prolactin rise. Prolactin hormone, which is responsible for stimulation of milk production, also increases this period, and it readies the breasts for lactation (Parkash, 2018). Just as noted by Parkash, Whiting (2018) also observed that expectant mothers experience secretion of milk from the mammary glands at the end of the third trimester. At this point, the level of relaxin hormone also spikes, which thins the cervix in preparation for childbirth. Besides cervix relaxation, the hormone also initiates labor and enhances baby delivery by increasing the cervix and flexibilities of the pubic bones and ligaments.
Literature Review on Childbirth
Childbirth is a process that is dreaded by most women, given the pain that is attached to it. However, it is equally a happy process, especially when the newborn baby is healthy. As noted by Boodhun (2015), the first birth takes roughly between 12 to 14 hours, and it usually is more prolonged than subsequent deliveries. The moment is marked by cervix dilation, which is facilitated by the production of relaxin hormone (Fernandez Fernandez-Arroyo, 2020). There are different ways of giving birth. A woman can give birth through water birth, home birth, active birth, hospital birth, or cesarean birth. The method used depends on the specification of the expectant woman or her body conditions, which might force medical assistants to apply the caesarian section. This process of birth entails the delivery of a baby from the mother's uterus via an incision in her abdomen. It is initiated by long labor or upon the mother's request. As observed by Tebekaw et al., 2014), an emergency cesarean birth is carried out when either the safety of the mother or the bay is questionable before or during labor. The process is aided by general, spinal, or epidural anesthesia. As also noted by Tebelaw et al., a hospital birth is a birth that takes place in a hospital, and the baby is delivered vaginally with or without medical intervention. The concept of hospital birth was not embraced in the 1960s. Many people heavily embraced it in recent years via mass education and reiteration of the importance of delivering in hospitals (Tebekaw et al., 2014). Vaginal birth can be done anywhere, but there are worries of complications that might develop and require the attention of medical practitioners.
Delivery in a hospital has many advantages that supersede other methods. One of the benefits of hospital delivery is that medical practitioners can quickly attend to any emergency. Most hospitals are now transforming their clinical setups to be homely and friendly to expectant women. This is because most women who had experienced complications during their previous births tend to have their other children in a pleasant, comfortably, and familiarity of their own home (Tebekaw et al., 2014). As noted by Whiting (2018), an expectant mother is assisted by a midwife with the help of a doctor during delivery after ensuring that everything that she will need is available before going to labor. Just as observe by Whiting, Fernandez Fernandez-Arroyo (2020) also found that expectant mothers should prepare in advance since over 90% of healthy pregnant women who receive good antenatal care give birth spontaneously. A water birth, on the other hand, is the birth of a bay via canal directly into the water. As noted by Boodhun (2015), water birth can either be done at home or in the hospital.
The sentiments expressed by the researchers cited above are coherent concerning the birth process and the necessary preparations to be taken to make it efficient. As noted by Witt (2008), the birth of a child is connected to a life renewal, and it is one of the most intense and significant moments of one's life. Witt also noted that the care provided during childbirth must focus on the requirements of the new mother, their rights, and their active role in the parturition process because of the specific social, biological, and economic specificities. Witt (2008) also observed that the current obstetric care model is characterized by overreliance on technical and technological interventions and the rampant use of C-section as a means of birth, which has expropriated women of their control over their anatomy and bodies. The views of Witt on the model were backed up by Prakash (2018), who also observed that the obstetric model had stripped women of their rights to their bodies, and this has generated the feminist movement. The technocratic obstetric model has been criticized for helping women regain their autonomy at childbirth.
Literature Review on Postpartum
A postpartum or postnatal is a period that begins immediately after childbirth, and it is characterized by modification of the mother's body, including hormone levels and the size of the uterus to the non-pregnant state (Rosenberg, 2013). Postpartum care is one of the challenges that a woman who has just given birth faces since it concerns the mother and her baby, two people with very distinct needs. However, as noted by Rosenberg (2013), the balance between the two can be achieved by providing effective quality care. There are numerous challenges that a woman who has just given birth faces. These challenges are nutrition and breastfeeding, immunization, birth spacing, HIV/AIDS, and postpartum depression. Postpartum is primarily about the provision of a comfortable environment in which a woman can comfortably take care of her baby; thus, much attention should be given to the mother after pregnancy, just like before giving birth.
Wani and Dalal (2013) also discussed the challenges faced by mothers during the postpartum stage. They observed that one of the most common problems faced by mothers who have just delivered is postpartum depression. The postpartum affective illness exists in three forms, namely: the blues (baby blues), postnatal depression, and puerperal psychosis. As noted by Wani and Dalal (2013), the most common among them is postpartum non-psychotic depression, and it affects roughly 10-15% of women. As such, it is a severe public health problem that affects women and their families. Rosenberg observed in his study that approximately 5-22% of women a...

In addition to his better known artistic, scientific and engineering talents, Leonardo da Vinci has an extensive reputation as a cartographer, drawing maps for a wide range of hydro-engineering projects for the rulers of Florence, Milan, Arezzo and the Vatican, amongst others. However, he is not generally acknowledged as authoring a world map (or mappamundi) spanning the globe, which was the domain of a few specialized cartographers of the era. Nevertheless, there is a world map among his papers in the Royal Library, Windsor, which has the correct overall configuration of the continents, including an ocean at the north pole and a continent at the south pole. Moreover, it has a unique cartographic projection onto eight spherical-geometry triangles that provide close to isometric projection throughout the globe.
This quincentennial anniversary year of his death in 1519 is an appropriate moment for a reappraisal of this contribution to global cartography. Although the authenticity of this world map has been questioned, there is an obscure page of his notebooks in the Codex Atlanticus containing a sketch of this precise form of global projection, tying him securely to its genesis. Moreover, the same notebook page contains sketches of eight other global projections known at that time (early C16th), from the Roman Ptolomaic conic section projection to Rossellli’s (1508) oval planispheric projection. This paper reassesses the dating of Da Vinci’s unique mappamundi to suggest that it predates that of Waldseemüller (1507), and may thus have been the first map to name both America and Florida.
