This paper presents a documentary analysis of the ongoing migrations from print to digital media, information, and communication technologies. It proposes that analyzing the documentation – that is documents and documentary practices – involved in the transition from print culture to digital culture presents a useful framework in which to situate other studies and discussions on the increasing digitalization of media, library, and information disciplines, professions, technologies, and practices. This paper provides a documentary lens in which to approach and understand the current ‘revolutionary’ transition from print culture to digital culture, stressing the significance of documentation in this migration. It presents and discusses a number of documentary definitions and theories from three noted documentalists: Michael K. Buckland, Bernd Frohmann, and David M. Levy. Applying a documentary approach to this transition will help show the resulting changes in the materiality of formats, relationships, organizations, institutions, and interactions in this new digital, or information, society.

Our Poverty Media Coordinator Jackie Cox shares stories from our work helping people to challenge the stigma of poverty.
With so much work going on to challenge stigma and fight poverty, we thought it would be a good idea to organise a residential event where people with lived experience of poverty could meet each other, talk about the way they are active in their communities and find ways of supporting one another.
So 17 adults and seven children headed for Windermere in the Lake District at the end of July for 48 hours. We stayed at the wonderful Windermere Centre, where the welcome is warm, the food tasty and plentiful and the rooms are clean and peaceful.
By the time we sat down to the evening BBQ, people were already making new friends and sharing their stories. We heard about projects at ATD 4th World, the Salford Poverty Truth Commission, Self-Reliant Groups for women in Openshaw, the Manchester Literature Festival, and the Community Voices project being run by Greater Manchester Poverty Action.
A session with Jonathan Heawood from Impress, an independent press regulator, gave people the opportunity to contribute to a code of standards for print and web media.
The group then turned their attention to food poverty in the UK. Working with poet and author Tony Walsh, we found ways of telling the story of food poverty through poetry. The group have produced two fantastic poems which we hope will be part of the launch of the End Hunger UK campaign in October.
This was a truly enriching 48 hours and I am always amazed by the resilience, the honesty, and the talent that emerges when a group such as this comes together.
Stand up and tell the world one thing about poverty
Poverty is a waste of potential.
Poverty may mean a lack of financial resources…
however it can refuel one’s faith in humanity.
Poverty is not an acceptable consequence of birth.
Poverty needs to be eradicated NOW!
Poverty… is not the best… of me… or you… or us!
Poverty… child killer.
It is nobody in poverty’s fault: the poor can’t be blamed, stigmatised or hidden away. They are us; you, me and everybody.
I am shocked…
…that if a parent is sanctioned their child loses their free school meal.
…by the misery of so many people being sanctioned.
I am amazed…
… at the true humanity with which a group of strangers can discuss the most difficult and dark parts of life. I feel warm, I feel moved, I feel humbled.
…by the equality of purpose
…at the amount of action taking place in our communities to combat hunger and food poverty

During an interpellation in the Parliament of Albania between the deputy Ms. Jorida Tabaku and the Minister of Tourism and Environment Ms. Mirela Kumbaro, about the construction of the Vlora Airport inside the Vjosë – Nartë Protected Landscape, the Minister herself declared that the airport is being constructed within the protected area.
Before this statement, the concerns of civil society organizations on the issue have been denied by the machinery of propaganda of the current government, which has constantly declared that the airport is being constructed outside the protected area and, furthermore, that it is following every EU directive on nature conservation.
During the interpellation, the Minister stated that the construction area has been removed from the national network of protected areas. This statement is clearly a lie, since there is not a legal document which can support it. Even if it wasn’t a lie, the construction of the airport at that specific site threatens the nature values of the whole protected area, leading to a destructive impact towards the biodiversity of the Vjosë-Nartë Protected Landscape.

This is how you install your Kåbe Original Mat
Generally, the mat should always be positioned on a fixed, flat surface.
1) 1. On existing Floor
where there is a slope or stair tread
If the mat is on a slope or a step, we recommend studs on the underlying surface so that it cannot slip. On a slope, the mat should also be reinforced.
2) 2. On existing Floor
avoid the risk of tripping
The mat can be equipped with a Kobe Mat Ramp type 1 on the front or rear edge to avoid the risk of stumbling.
3) On existing Floor
against threshold or stair tread
If the mat is placed against a threshold or a tread, a Kobe Mat Ramp type 1 arranged against the front edge can be added.
4) Recessed on existing Floor
mat ramp around the entire mat
Kobe Mat Ramp type 2 around all sides of the mat. The ramp lies loose and should be fixed with screws if possible.
5) Recessed on existing Floor
against threshold or step
Kobe Mat Ramp type 2 can be installed on 2 or 3 sides, if the mat is placed against a threshold or a tread. It should be fixed against the floor by means of screws.
6) Recessed in Floor
should be recessed by 20-22 mm
The mat should be recessed 20 – 22 mm. In order to protect the surrounding edges of the floor the fitting of a Kobe kerb angle frame is recommended.
7) Existing recess in Floor
recess less than 20 mm
În the mat is placed in a recess with less depth than 15 mm, Kobe special ramps should be installed on the front and rear edge. If the recess is 15-19 mm deep, Kobe Original mat with height 18 mm should be used.
8) Soil tray underneath the Mat
Kobe soil tray has a proper sand separator. It is manufactured with or without water trap.
9) Mat on Drainage Grid
To achieve a “self-cleaning” effect the mat can be laid on a Kobe drainage grid on top of a deeper depression.
How to handle the original mat
The Kobe Original Mat is designed to wipe sand and dirt from shoe soles. The construction is such that a lot of sand could be contained in the mat without making it look untidy.
No heavy Lifts with the Kobe Original Mat
The Kobe mat does not have to be lifted to remove sand and dirt. Take a simple grip with the Kobe mat lifter hook and fold the mat about 15 cm. After that you just roll up the mat and remove the sand and dirt with a vacuum cleaner or a brush. Roll up long mats from both ends.
The mat has two top faces. For maximum life it should be turned upside down at least once a year to achieve uniform wear of the rubber on both sides.

In a recent briefing before the Joint Senate Committee on Finance, Banking, Insurance, and Financial Institutions, Central Bank Governor Yemi Cardoso shared promising outcomes from the apex bank’s initiatives to stabilize foreign exchange rates.
Cardoso highlighted that the measures implemented by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) are already demonstrating success in stabilizing foreign exchange rates, aiming to minimize the inflationary impact caused by high exchange rates.
During the committee briefing on Friday, Cardoso revealed that the CBN interventions have resulted in an influx of $1 billion into the Nigerian market over the past few days, a tangible sign of the effectiveness of their policies.
“We have already begun to see shifts in the positive direction. Indeed, they (CBN measures) have already started yielding early results with significant interest from foreign portfolio investors, which was a concern.
That has already begun to supply the much-needed foreign exchange to the economy,” stated Cardoso.
Emphasizing the importance of sustainable measures, Cardoso urged Nigeria to moderate its demands for foreign exchange.
He acknowledged the CBN’s efforts to restore credibility to the central bank and addressed the core issue affecting the exchange rate—the demand for US dollars for both business and personal needs.
Despite the challenges, Cardoso assured the committee that inflation is expected to decrease this year, following the inflation targeting framework and moderating to 21.1 percent.
The committee’s summoning of the CBN Governor on January 31 reflects the deep-seated concerns about the economy and the sharp decline of the naira in the foreign exchange market.
Senators are seeking explanations from the CBN regarding the myriad economic challenges facing the country, highlighting the pivotal role of the central bank in addressing these issues.

The point at which I stopped last time did not properly represent my vision of the object I was trying to achieve.
The previous step was useful to understand how to use the lathe.
The first thing I wanted to change was the seat, which had been made simply with waste wood, inspired by the composition of wooden plates that are used in scaffolding.
These sheets of wood are often placed side by side and, leaning on the support tubes, they create the platforms on which the workers climb up. The two characteristics that I decided to take up are:
- the approximate length that comes out of the tubes of the structure
- the alignment of their imprecise ends
- the nailed strips placed in the thickness of the short side to hold the wood fibres together
So I decided to form the seat with three plates adjacent but not aligned at the ends between them.
Two of these slabs were drilled at the point where the vertical tubes of the structure come out so that all three stars can lean on the horizontal supports.
The second part was to create all the small inserts that have to be inserted in the ends of the tubes. 8 for the horizontal parts and 4 for the vertical tubes in which the 2 plates of the seat fit.
In order to produce them, I tried to reduce the time by arranging them alternatively adjacent with the heads two by two, thus having larger and more easily executable turning parts.
As for the feet, instead, I did not make the same reasoning because (stupidly?) I thought that since there was so much difference between the larger and smaller diameter of the joint, a breakage could occur in the segments with the smaller diameter.
Once all the components were made I added the last detail, the iron plate nailed on the thickness of the short side.
To make it I made a sheet of aluminum, cut a strip of 1 cm with a guillotine blade (photo) and then I shaped it on the edge of the seat holding it with pieces of adhesive tape.
Once defined the shape I made a mark on where to make the holes and I went back to the workshop to drill the sheets.
Bought also the nails I decided to drill the wood first with the drill so that there were no cracks in the wood grain. The holes made, however, had to be as long as the nail itself because otherwise it would not have caught on the wood, so I took the measurements making some tests and I defined the length by applying adhesive tape on the tip of the drill so as to have the point where to stop.
A few days after the final realization of the stool I made these photos in the laboratory to define the end of a process and start a new one.
The lower part of the seat has not been deliberately oiled in order to enhance the difference between what we see and what is more hidden in a product and, at the same time, because I wanted a memory of the change of the wood before being treated with oil.
The final result satisfies me much more than the first two previous steps.
The aesthetics has a much clearer and more defined reference to the scaffolding, even though on a technical level it has many leaks.
The joints are too weak because there is no block that holds them together is, although precise, the joint with time deteriorates.
The seat is resistant and can accommodate the weight of a person even in this scale but the central slab wedged between the other two is connected to them only through the aluminium band on the thickness and this determines a too weak bond. When you lift the stool taking it only from the central axis it comes out slightly from its position.
The feet have a shape that attracts the final supports of the scaffolding but their resemblance is light and not as obvious as I would like it to be.
The production process of this stool has helped me to know what I am really looking for from a design point of view; the search for simple shapes that have a direct reference to my sources of inspiration, a simplicity that also turns into the absence or reduction of interlocking elements and materials present.

While passing by on his bike, local musician Thomas Rehbein noticed the sign and decided to do something nice for the boy, whom he had never met. He created a public Facebook event and encouraged his friends to join him in listening to the elementary-schooler tickle the ivories.
“Wouldn’t it be cool if a bunch of people showed up to his free concert?” Rehbein wrote on the event page.

Euphoria is a drama series appearing on HBO and available for streaming on HBO Max. While the series primarily focuses on the lives of the students at East Highland High School, it also delves into some very sensitive subject matter. The series has been openly criticized by the D.A.R.E. program for what it claims is a glamorization of the issues teens face.
RELATED: 10 Famous Actors Who Have Never Done Television
Indeed, the hit series does not shy away from heavy topics, with episodes tackling domestic abuse, addiction, abortion, and trauma. There are many moments throughout Euphoria where the characters are put in very intense and even dangerous situations.
WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for Euphoria, now streaming on HBO Max.
10 When It Shows A Flashback To Rue's Overdose
When the series begins, Rue is freshly out of rehab. Rue doesn't mention much about her overdose or rehab, just that she has no intention of staying clean. It seems the event affects Rue, but rather than face her emotions, she just numbs herself to them.
It is not until a flashback of her overdose that fans get to see just how traumatic it is. Gia calls out to Rue who is unresponsive, and when she finds her, Rue is on her back, choking. The incident shakes up the whole family, especially Gia since she is the one who finds Rue and has to call the paramedics.
9 When Nate Grabs Maddy By Her Neck
At the town festival, Maddy and Nate are to meet up with each other. When Nate sees Maddy, however, he criticizes her clothing choice and lets her know that his parents don't like her. This rightfully upsets Maddy.
In Maddy fashion, she decides to get even with Nate. She goes up to his parents' chili booth at the festival and causes a scene. Nate drags her away, slamming her up against a trailer by her neck, and yells in her face. When Maddy gets home, she notices the huge bruise on her neck, which forces her to wear layers of clothing to hide it.
8 When Mouse Gives Rue Fentanyl & She Passes Out
One day while Rue is at Fezco's house, he gets a text that his supplier is coming. Fezco tells Rue that she needs to leave before he gets there, but Rue messes around until it's too late for her to slip out. Fez tells her to stay quiet and not to leave the room.
RELATED: 10 Actors You Didn't Know Had A Twin Sibling
Rue, of course, does not listen and comes out during Fez and Mouse's meeting. When Mouse gets ahold of Rue, he forces fentanyl on her. It hits her very quickly and she begins to lose consciousness and Fez tries to get Mouse to leave her alone. The whole scene is intense and uncomfortable.
7 When Nate & His Dad Have A Physical Altercation
Nate and his dad Cal have a strange and strained relationship. There is so much that Nate knows about his father and on the other hand, so little that Cal knows about his son. Ever since Nate was little, Cal has drilled into him what the ideal man is and how he should act.
Nate is constantly trying to live up to his dad's expectations and prove himself, but it is never enough. One night after his dad criticizes him, Nate gets in Cal's face and the two have a physical altercation. Cal pins Nate down and then Nate begins slamming his head into the floor. The scene is incredibly disturbing as Nate thrashes on the floor, screaming with rage.
6 When Nate Beats Tyler Because He Believes He Took Advantage Of Maddy
During one of Maddy and Nate's many breaks, Maddy finds a guy to have sex with, to make Nate jealous. However, after the incident, Maddy tells Nate that she blacked out and doesn't remember anything. Nate then takes matters into his own hands.
Nate follows Tyler and watches him. He then breaks into Tyler's apartment and waits for him to come home. When Tyler returns home, Nate is waiting. Nate mercilessly beats Tyler, repeatedly asking him if he raped Maddy. Tyler never confesses to the allegations because they simply are unfounded, but is forced to endure the ruthless beating.
5 When Fezco Robs A Doctor To Get Money
Nate tips off the cops that Fezco is illegally selling drugs out of his house. When the cops show up to raid the house, Fezco and Ashtray are forced to flush their entire stash down the toilet. With their stash gone and Mouse showing up at any moment to collect his money, Fezco has to come up with a plan to get Mouse's money.
Fezco follows Mouse one night to a doctor's house. After Mouse leaves, Fezco sneaks inside and tries to rob the man. However, the doctor pulls a gun on Fezco who is then forced to beat up the man to keep him from shooting. The whole scene is witnessed by the doctor's young son, which undoubtedly is very traumatizing.
4 When Ashtray Murders Mouse With A Hammer
Any scene that involves Mouse is intense because he has this presence that makes any situation extremely uncomfortable. When Mouse and Custer show up to collect money from Fezco, Mouse asks what took Fez so long and mentions hearing that Fez got raided by the cops.
RELATED: 10 TV Characters With The Weirdest Habits
Fez hands over the money, stained with blood, and asks Mouse if they are good. Before Mouse can reply, Ashtray emerges from hiding and attacks Mouse and Custer with a hammer. Mouse dies and Custer is left with a messed up face. It is a shocking moment for not only Fezco but to viewers as well.
3 When Fezco Attacks Nate At A Party
The tension between Fezco and Nate had long been building before their meeting in Euphoria's Season 2 premiere. Throughout Season 1, Nate tormented pretty much everyone, including Jules. When Fezco gets wind of this, he approaches Nate and tells him to leave Rue and her friends alone.
Nate tips the cops off on Fez in revenge. As if Fezco didn't need another reason to dislike Nate, the raid from the cops put Fezco into a precarious situation, one that could affect his family and livelihood. When Fezco sees Nate at a party, he smashes a bottle over his head and proceeds to beat him. Other guests have to pull Fez off of Nate, and Nate is taken to the hospital. The scene is intense but also satisfying to finally see Nate get what's coming to him.
2 When Cal Shows Up The The Gas Station Where Fezco Works
After Nate is attacked, Cal wants to get to the bottom of the assault. He questions Cassie and Lexi Howard, but neither one gives up Fezco's name. However, Cal decides to follow Lexi and she leads him right to Fezco.
Cal is seen sticking a gun in his pocket and heading inside the store. Viewers know he has a gun, but no one else in the scene does. It makes for a very intense moment because no one knows what is about to happen. Fortunately, Cal decides to leave without incident, but it's not the last time he bothers Fezco.
1 When Laurie's Goons Make Everyone Strip
Since Mouse dies, Fezco needs a new supplier. Custer sets up a meeting with a female drug dealer named Laurie. Rue and Custer's girlfriend Faye tag along to the meeting. After Fezco, Ashtray and Custer go inside to meet Laurie, men show up and pull Rue and Faye from the car where they are waiting,
Inside Laurie's house, a very intimidating-looking man tells everyone to strip to prove they aren't wearing a wire. When Faye speaks up, the man slams her head into the wall. Rue, of course, refuses to strip since she is a high schooler, so the man drags her away into another room and turns the shower on her until she complies. Laurie apologizes for the drastic measures, explaining she has to be careful who she trusts.

Is free speech under attack at college campuses? | The Tylt
Is free speech under attack at college campuses?
Earlier this year, Allison Stanger, professor of political science at Middlebury College, found herself in the middle of the free speech debate after students launched violent demonstrations against controversial speaker Charles Murray. Murray has been widely described as a white supremacist and eugenicist. She identifies the two core arguments at the heart of the free speech debate:
The student activists who shut down the Charles Murray discussion at Middlebury reject the idea that all ideas should be treated equally. Following the incident, students released a statement in response to a separate statement put out by professors (who were defending free speech). Here's what they argued:
The Enlightenment values that free speech advocates are supposedly defending also say that all humans are inherently equal. Discussions begin from that idea, not the idea that all ideas are equally valid. There's no point in engaging with someone whose ideas are flawed beyond fixing.
We contend that free, reasoned, and civil discussion are certainly necessary for genuine higher learning, but that the speaker in question denies the basic equality of those invited to engage in such discourse, and therefore undermines the foundation of such discourse. By protesting the characterization of the speaker’s research as worthwhile of academic inquiry, students did more to defend the integrity of reasoned and civil discourse at Middlebury than did the administration and co-sponsors of this event.
Debating these ideas at face value simply elevates bigoted viewpoints and gives them validity. Students are rejecting wholesale bigotry and see no value in debating its merits. Sometimes, there aren't two sides to an issue—this is one of those times.
By elevating bigotry and engaging with it in open debate under the misguided view that all ideas must be respected, we risk elevating biased opinions with no solid, factual foundation into the realm of “knowledge” and affirming the unconscious biases many hold.
Students argue language can be violent, contrary to what free speech advocates say. Language plays a huge role in society and universities must acknowledge their role in allowing, what students deem, hateful and violent speech into the school community. In a statement, students at Middlebury College quoted Toni Morrison on language and violence:
“Oppressive language does more than represent violence; it is violence; does more than represent the limits of knowledge; it limits knowledge… Sexist language, racist language, theistic language – all are typical of the policing languages of mastery, and cannot, do not permit new knowledge or encourage the mutual exchange of ideas.”
Finally, students argue their actions are not a matter of politics or social justice. It's about ensuring the basic equality of all people in their community and defending all individuals—instead of privileging the rights of those who hold hateful ideas.
Surely we can distinguish political and social agendas from the fundamental human agenda of insisting upon the basic equality of all individuals. Refusing to stand by a core tenet as simple as this one – opening it up for debate and civil discourse – paves the way for hate and prejudice. A commitment to open-mindedness is compatible with the decision to reject intolerance.
In response to that letter, Allison Stanger, the professor caught in the crossfire between students and Charles Murray, argues the situation is much more complicated than what students outlined. Regardless of whether students accept or reject opposing viewpoints, people are engaging with these ideas and that in itself should be reason enough to hold the debate. Ignoring ideas does not make them go away. Policing speech and thought is dangerous and stifles the free exchange of ideas.
The moderate middle at Middlebury currently feels it cannot speak out on the side of free inquiry without fear of being socially ostracized as racist. Most alarming, I have heard some students and faculty denounce reason and logic as manifestations of white supremacy. This is not a productive learning environment for anyone. This is not what the life of the mind is supposed to provide.
While it might be popular among students, more recent positions on speech are not fundamentally universal. All ideas must be tolerated and discussed on their own merits. Writing off Murray or Milo—or any other speaker—as a white supremacist whose ideas are not worth discussing is essentially preaching to the choir. It obscures potentially dangerous ideas and allows them to fester and grow in the dark. If these ideas are truly odious and false, as students argue, then discussing these ideas openly and candidly will do far more to tear these people down.
The university cannot renounce enlightenment values and continue to be a university. It must be a battleground for competing ideas, not a megaphone for a particular point of view. The growth that liberal education inspires is never comfortable, and learning is a lifelong process. All of us can benefit from civil engagement with those with whom we disagree.
Peter Beinart at the Atlantic, writing about Milo's disastrous appearance at UC Berkeley, points out wrong-headed views held by Milo and Murray are still protected under the umbrella of free speech. Brushing all the intellectual arguments aside, at the end of the day, the law protects the rights of these speakers to say what they believe.
Yiannopoulos’s behavior at the Milwaukee campus sounds disgusting. But as Dirks wrote in response, “critical statements and even the demeaning ridicule of individuals are largely protected by the Constitution.” If they were not, a lot of comedians would have trouble performing live. And even if the targeted UWM student has grounds to sue, Berkeley cannot prevent the College Republicans from hosting Yiannopoulos because of the possibility that he might do something like that again.

---- — ELIZABETHTOWN — The coming year will see five new supervisors seated on the Essex County Board of Supervisors.
Incumbents were defeated in Willsboro, Ticonderoga, Elizabethtown, Minerva and Essex in Tuesday’s general election in Essex County.
Only incumbent Supervisor Daniel Connell in Westport retained his post.
CHANGE IN TICONDEROGA
The top race was for Ticonderoga town supervisor, where incumbent Debra Malaney lost to challenger William Grinnell in the county’s second most populous town.
Both Malaney and independent Steven Whitford offered congratulations to Grinnell.
“I look forward to a relaxing vacation and new adventures,” Malaney said.
Whitford had promised to raise taxes to pay for infrastructure, which may have hurt his chances in the three-way race.
“It is what it is,” he said of the election. “People see what they see and vote on it.”
Grinnell said he will spend the next two months preparing to take office Jan. 1, 2014.
“I’m humbled; it’s a lot of responsibility,” he said. “I’m very pleased.”
Grinnell said he will start attending County Board of Supervisors sessions.
“I want to go to some county meetings and touch base with our county, state and federal officials to let them know I’m here. I plan on reading a lot.”
In Elizabethtown, incumbent Democratic Supervisor Margaret Bartley saw Republican Noel Merrihew III take back the seat he lost to her two years ago.
“I’m really glad the people of this town had a choice,” Bartley said. “For too long, they had monolithic leader positions. I’m not bitter — I’ve had a lot of fun and done a lot of good.”
She said she still plans to be active in community affairs.
“I won’t disappear; this is my home. I love this community.”
Merrihew said he’s looking forward to getting back into office.
“I am very appreciative of all the voters and their support,” he said. “It shows the motivation of the community as a whole that came out. It was a very good turnout.”
Democratic Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery Corey was narrowly defeated by independent challenger Stephen McNally.
Only nine votes separate them, so the absentee-ballot count may determine the official winner.
“It is great to see so many of our neighbors out for the vote, even though the results were not what I hoped for,” Corey said. “The theme of my campaign was that results matter. In spite of the outcome of this election, they still do.
"My best wishes to all who ran for office in Minerva and elsewhere. We look forward to the absentee-ballot count.”
McNally said that since the election was too close to call, he’d hold off on making a comment.
'WHAT CAN YOU DO?'
In Essex, incumbent independent Sharon Boisen lost to newcomer Edward Gardner.
"It was a good race,” Gardner said. “I'm glad a lot of voters came out and took interest in this race.”
Boisen couldn’t be reached for comment after the election.
In Willsboro, incumbent Democrat Supervisor Ed Hatch was defeated by Republican challenger Shaun Gillilland, a member of the Town Council.
“It’s been fun,” Hatch said. “But what can you do?”
Hatch is finishing his second term as supervisor, a return to the post after serving in the 1970s.
Gillilland couldn’t be reached for comment Tuesday night.
'PUBLIC NEEDS CHOICE'
Democratic Westport Supervisor Daniel Connell was returned to office handily, defeating Republican James Carroll.
“I’m happy to be back,” Connell said. “I’ll serve this term, and this will be my final term. I thank the people of Westport for their confidence.”
Carroll said he enjoyed the race.
“The public needs a choice, and he and I both ran clean races. It’s about the town. It wasn’t about negativism. He (Connell) has my support in the future.”
In Moriah, independent Town Council candidate Corey Steigleman stood along Main Street in Port Henry on Tuesday holding up his signs and waving to passing motorists.
Although the practice is common in Vermont, it isn’t seen much in northern new York.
“I’ve had a lot of interest,” Steigleman said as a passing driver blew the horn. “People seem interested; they’re talking with me.”
He lost the election, however.

The Kalashnikov Concern is showing its new anti-materiel rifle designated as the SV-18 at the Army 2019 defence exhibition being held in Kubinka, close to Moscow, on 25-30 June. The rifle is a bullpup design with its bolt-action and box magazine behind the trigger and is therefore short in length.
The SV-18 is chambered for either Soviet/Russian 12.7×108 or 12.7×99 mm, the latter of which is more commonly known as the .50 calibre BMG cartridge in the West. The rifle appears to be constructed from a combination of steel, aluminium, and polymer.
Dual safety levers - one on each side - are installed above the trigger for ambidexterity. The SV-18 has a monolithic length of the MIL-STD-1913 type scope and ancillaries rail on the topside. A further length of rail is integrated on the forend's underside - ahead of a short handguard piece, on which a detachable bipod and other ancillaries can be mounted.

Psychology sleep and dreams
there are several theories behind why we sleep
Creatures which stayed still and quiet during night times had an upper hand over other creatures which were active. Due to this, they avoided accidents, being killed by other creatures. This activity somehow evolved into sleep.
One of the most obvious reasons why creatures sleep is to conserve energy, especially at night times where it is hard to find food or times when it doesn’t benefit then from being awake. According to research, energy metabolism is tremendously reduced during sleep. Caloric demand and body temperature is reduced during sleep compared to when you are awake. Such benefits help greatly in their survival. Another great benefit of sleep is that it somehow restores the things we lost when we were awake. Many of the major restorative functions in the body like tissue repair, muscle growth, protein synthesis and growth hormone release occur mostly during sleep. Some experiments show that animals deprived from sleep die within a week due to lose of all immune functions.
We all know through experience what happens when we pull an all-nighter. We can sense that our muscles don’t necessarily need sleep but our brain does. Our brain which controls our actions and
There are four stages of Non-REM sleep. During Stage 1, the eyes are closed. One can be awakened without difficulty; however, if aroused from this stage of sleep, a person may feel as if he or she has not slept. The heart rate slows and the body temperature decreases during Stage 2. At this point, the body prepares to enter deep sleep. Stages 3 and 4 are deep sleep stages, with stage 4 being more intense than Stage 3. These stages are known as slow-wave, or delta, sleep. If aroused from sleep during these stages, a person may feel disoriented for a few minutes. REM sleep is the portion of sleep when there are rapid eye movements. Dreams occur during REM sleep. We typically have 3 to 5 periods...

I am so happy to have the opportunity to introduce myself. I'm Betsy Fogle. I have lived in Springfield, Missouri all my life - attending Springfield Public Schools. I believe we have to continue the support of our public school system. I am a graduate of Missouri State University, and post-graduate of University of Arkansas. Plain and simple, I am a proud Springfieldian. I have a deep desire to play a role in making our community better. I am passionate about the issues of health care, public education and workforce development.
I have worked in the health care industry all of my professional career, and have been witness to the many challenges of building a healthy community. I have seen the many obstacles faced when it comes to accessing quality care for many in our community.
An important component to the economic development of our community is workforce development. Working with our public education system as well as other educational opportunities in our community, I believe we must work collaboratively to develop programs that create economic security for the individual while generating sustainable economic growth for the our region - all while remaining competitive in the marketplace.
That said, my ultimate goal is to be a representative of my district, of Springfield and the region - moving Missouri forward.

In the culinary world, a chef faced with a poorly baked cake can't turn back time and undo the imperfect creation. Similarly, in the complex recipe of life, we encounter mistakes and missteps that linger like the aftertaste of a regrettable dish. However, just as a skilled chef transforms kitchen mishaps into culinary triumphs, so too can we use life's experiences as the essential ingredients for personal growth and new beginnings.
Life, much like the art of baking, is an ongoing process of learning and refining. Each moment, be it sweet or bitter, contributes to the overall flavor of our existence. In this journey, there is no rewind button, no way to erase the past. Yet, there exists a powerful opportunity to extract invaluable lessons from every experience, no matter how challenging.
Consider the analogy of a poorly baked cake. Instead of dwelling on the imperfections, a skilled chef reflects on the choices made during the process – the quality of ingredients, the precision in measurements, and the patience exercised in the oven's heat. Similarly, in life, our past mistakes provide an opportunity to examine the decisions, actions, and emotional ingredients that shaped our journey.
Life's experiences, even the most trying ones, serve as classrooms where wisdom and perspective are earned. Embracing these lessons is akin to refining our culinary skills – it equips us to make better choices, to measure our actions with precision, and to face the heat of challenges with resilience.
The secret lies in using our past experiences as ingredients for personal growth. Instead of allowing regret to sour our outlook, we can mix in the lessons learned and fold them into the batter of our present. This transformation, much like the alchemy in a baker's kitchen, is the key to baking a brighter tomorrow.
Each twist of fate, every setback, and triumph molds us into the chefs of our own destiny. Just as a chef refines a recipe over time, we too refine our approach to life. The bitterness of regret can be sweetened by the knowledge gained, and the trials of the past become stepping stones toward a richer, more fulfilling future.
So, as we navigate the complex recipe of life, let's approach it with the mindset of a seasoned chef. Embrace each experience, whether a delicate soufflé of success or a burnt crust of failure, as an opportunity to learn, grow, and ultimately craft a masterpiece – the story of our lives. After all, in the grand kitchen of existence, wisdom is the most coveted spice, and every mistake is a chance to perfect the art of living. So throw out the cake, clear the decks and begin again, you're one step away from a delicious life.

Petr Vrba explores non-idiomatic improvisation using trumpets, clarinets, vibrating speakers and other electronics which made him one of the most active experimental musicians in Prague. He works with a lot of projects like Prague Improvisation Orchestra, Poisonous Frequencies, NOIZ, Doppeltrio, Rouilleux and Junk & The Beast. “Punkt” is his second release on Mikroton following “Trailer” with Veronika Mayer released in 2017.
Kurt Liedwart, a Moscow-based musician and curator of Mikroton Recordings, developed his own art and sound that cross genres, mixing music practices such as electroacoustic and improvised music, noise and glitch, and art movements such as actionism and Fluxus. He plays a wide-ranging array of instruments such as analog synthesizers, electronics, light-controlled electronics, electromagnetic devices, laptop, sinewaves, field recordings, percussion processed electronically in real time.
“Punkt” is a debut album of the new duo of explorers of free electronic music with each track built upon a permutating sonic foundation, muscular and expertly paced compositions that effortlessly transition between hypnotic abstract structural forms and textural and timbral experimentation.
Mikroton labelboss Kurt Liedwart is an active force himself when it comes to playing music, as he proofs with this trilogy of releases. First he teams up with Czech musician Petr Vrba, who is also a busy bee when it comes to playing music on the border of improvisation and electro-acoustics. He takes credit here for 'synthesizers, electronics' while Liedwart handles 'synthesizers, cracked homemade and everyday electronics'. For Vrba it seems to a step aside from his usual set-up that includes trumpets and clarinets. There is no indication on the cover here if this is all studio material or perhaps some kind of live recording. The two have been on stage together at least a few times, as far as I know. I would think that these six pieces are the result of them playing together in a studio, with some editing and mixing after the recordings have been made. These pieces sum up what especially Liedwart is about in his work and with his label in general. There are probably good reasons to call this improvised music, and no doubt much of this is recorded through improvisation, but it is also something else. Enter the world of electro-acoustic composition. These pieces aren't about scratching and scraping a lot of different sounds together, with nothing resembling whatever else happens. It is more than that I should think, as they keep repeating sounds for a while, add new stuff to it, repeat that for a while, remove stuff and together arrive at a somewhat free version of modern electronics. Rhythm is in general avoided, but there is an occasional beat in 'Hot Spot' and loops are freely used throughout the whole album. These pieces are much more composed than improvised, even in the somewhat chaotic 'Dusted', and it works wonderfully well. Whatever way this was made, I suspect indeed editing and mixing, it makes the music quite strong.
Punkt (mikroton cd 69)? Weil Klang bei KURT LIEDWART & PETR VRBA undefinierbar und axiomatisch klingt? Der Tscheche fingert da statt mit Trompete & Klarinette (wie bei Junk & The Beast oder Poisonous Frequencies) ebenfalls nur mit Synthies & Electronics, so dass offen bleibt, wer hier was kratzt oder flattern lässt im brausenden Vordergrund oder als Synthieklingklang weiter hinten. 'Dusted' ist insofern der sprechendste der sechs Titel. Brodeliges und dumpf stampfendes Mahlwerk und impulsiver Partikelbeschuss, rumorende Vibra-/Vrbationen und mulmig lurchende Schloops, sorry, schlurchende Loops stoßen eher postindustrialkakophone Konnotationen an als träumerisch-ambiente und eher irdische als außerirdische. Glissandierend und heulend, tropfend und hallend, bei 'Hot Spot' geradezu harmonisch-sonor und auf der Tonleiter liedwärts, mit dazu floppenden Tupfen. Bei 'Flowering' zu tockendem Loop und zuckenden und wieder brodeligen Impulsen sogar noch einen Tick melodischer 'orgelnd'. Sirrend, funkelig zwitschernd, eifrig sägend oder stampfend, dunkel wummernd, wellig ululierendes fehlen die adäquaten Worte für diese Xenophonie, die das 'Fabrik'-Bild längst durchkreuzt hat für phantastischere Irritationen. 'Call Me' reißt zuletzt mit in mikrofaunische Mysterien, mit dunklen und zirpigen Lauten, über die critterndes Chaos hereinbricht und jenseits stechender und prickeliger Pixel eine panische Stampede.
Punkt (MIKROTON CD 69) is a superb set of edgy, creepy electronic music from the pairing of Kurt Liedwart (the Mikroton label boss) and Petr Vrba. Never was a more inspired team-up, if your end goal is to savour results as substantial and chunky as these. Embracing all possible stylistic elements that make sense in the context of dense textual electro-weaving, these two bats flap their greasy wings while venturing airborne into turfs such as minimal avant techno, gloomy gothic melodies, trudging near-industrial marches into Hell, and controlled noise collisions and smashes. At the same time they also crunch, drone, fizz and glitch with the best of the grapes in the bunch, not neglecting precious seconds of “old school” pweeps and analog-inspired echo-bursts that transport us to 1950s Paris at the flick of a jackplug.
Synths and electronics were used to concoct this slicing jugger-beast, while the Russian half of the act has pinched the famed “cracked homemade everyday” epithet from veteran noiser Norbert Möslang and applied it to his own setup. Prague musician Petr Vrba, now revealed to be a man of stern eyebrows and sullen gaze, started quite a panic with the Trailer album he made for this label with Veronika Mayer (heard by us in 2018), where they appeared as Junk & The Beast. No prizes for guessing which one he was in the duo. That item had sparky energy waves emanating from its twitchy brow, but was also highly spare and minimal, whereas Punkt is quite the opposite, given these generous dollobs of scabbery flunge on today’s plate. Never a dull membrane is the motto of this pair…even the title might be taken as a futuristic update on punk rock of the 1970s and 1980s, only now the electronica boys have figured out how to antagonise the audience using keyboards and mixing desks instead of gobs and guitars. The main thing that counts is the “punky” attitude, which enables these surly brutes to deliver powerful clumps. Even the cover art has a strong urban vibe which should whisk you back to 1979 Manchester in your mind (although given images of trams, it’s more likely to be modern-day Prague).
“A permutating sonic foundation, muscular and expertly paced compositions,” is how label website gets the prospective customer salivating for this particular slice of red ham. Keyword for me personally in that string of hype is “muscular”, which fits well the iron-clad zinc-boned nature of this wiry, obstinate material. Will use what’s left over to refit my chicken coop, if you know what I mean. From 30th October 2018.

Nearly 40 million people suffer with migraine headaches, which can cause symptoms that include nausea, sensitivity to light, dizziness, vomiting and more. But could there be a different explanation for the migraine-like symptoms?
Kim has suffered from migraines for over 40 years. They started when she was just 15-years-old but now they are increasing in intensity as well as frequency. Sometimes a full-blown migraine can last up to 4 days for her, which she describes as feeling like a spike is being driven into her head behind the eyes.
In addition to seeing countless doctors, Kim's tried food elimination diets, kept journals, and ventured into holistic remedies. While she's developed some personal ways to cope, Kim is tired of having these headaches take over her life. She feels like she's missed out on a lot and it strains her relationship with her husband and daughter.
For some migraine sufferers the actually problem isn't in their head but rather it stems from their nose! Kim heard about a procedure with plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Smith, who reportedly has a very high success rate at helping those who are suffering with unbearable migraine-type symptoms. The Doctors were there as Kim underwent surgery to hopefully change her life.
Kim and Dr. Smith join The Doctors to discuss her results. Kim says, "It's amazing. I feel like I have the energy of a 20-year-old." Dr. Smith explains that Kim had a deviated septum that created a bone spur, which caused her migraine-type pain. While she felt like she was experiencing migraines Kim was actually suffering from sinus pain caused by an old nose injury.
ER physician Dr. Travis Stork recommends that if you've been diagnosed with something and you've had it for years and the normal treatments aren't working, it might be time to re-evaluate. Could your nose be the cause of your migraine-like pain?

The 1931 Marmon Sixteen Coupe is a classic piece of mechanical excellence. Although the life of the company was short lived, the legend of the car lives on. Quality, style and performance helped to make this coupe a top contender in its day.
With a 491ci engine and a Pushrod OHV, this beauty was able to reach a top speed of 105 mph. This was quite a feat for the time. The aluminum engine boasted 2 valves per cylinder for a total of 16. Natural aspiration and the use of the Stromberg DDR3 carburetor aided in the Marmon Sixteen to achieve superior performance ratings. The body was designed around a steel ladder frame. The Sixteen featured RWD with a front and rear solid axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs and friction dampers.
Economic troubles played a part in this automobile being defeated in the marketplace while others could thrive. The Great Depression made the $5,000 sticker price appear unaffordable to most. Fewer than 400 of this type were constructed during the three years of production. Even more rare is the Sixteen Coupe for two passengers. There are 6 known to be in existence. When the company closed however, much of the records were not maintained.
Marmon Automotive left a lasting impression on the automotive industry with such innovations as the rear view mirror, utilizing aluminum in automobile construction, and the v16 engine. Anyone fortunate enough to have the Marmon Sixteen Coupe or Sedan is lucky indeed to have such a prized piece of automotive history.
Pierce-Arrow was a very small automotive manufacturer that produced a different kind of luxury cars. The company was only in business from the 1900s through the 1930s before closing due to a soft market for luxury cars. The most well-known vehicle manufactured by this company was the Silver Arrow. The first Silver Arrow was produced for the World’s Fair in Chicago in 1933.
The 1933 Pierce-Arrow Silver Arrow was designed by Ralph Roberts and was all hand crafted. This vehicle made its debut at the New York Auto Show in 1933. This super-sleek bodied luxury vehicle boasted no running boards, a powerful V12 engine that boasted 175 horsepower that was capable of taking the driver up to 115 miles per hour, which was an amazing feat for the time.
On the exterior of the 1933 Pierce-Arrow Silver Arrow, one could find a flat side body, which hid the dual-spare tires rather well. The door openings were rounded and the front fenders completely enveloped the wheels. This vehicle came at a time when the company was struggling to survive, and cost a buyer $10,000, which was an amazing amount of money for the time.
This ultra-sleek vehicle used aluminum for most of its body and had a cast-iron engine. To add to the space-age look of this car, the 7566 cc longitudinal engine was placed lower in the cradle, allowing for a more rounded appearance on top as well as additional hiding space for the spare tires.
With only five of these vehicles ever made, and only four known to still be around, this vehicle remains as one much sought-after by the super-rich. At auction in 2012, a 1933 Silver Arrow sold for an amazing $2.2 million dollars.
Bentley wasn’t always known as a Rolls-Royce for more sporting individuals. Prior to the company’s purchase by Rolls-Royce in 1931, Bentley was responsible for creating exquisite vehicles that were bonafide performance machines on the track. In 1924, W.O. Bentley’s creations would experience the first of many Le Mans wins.
The 1924 Bentley 3/8-Liter “Hawkeye Special” is a very unique vehicle for plenty of reasons, one being its very origins. This vehicle started out as chassis 477, a highly-desirable “Red Badge” Speed model. What makes this vehicle so special is the fact that most Bentley buyers purchased the rolling chassis and applied their own coachwork at significant cost. The Hawkeye Special features a distinctive alloy body created in the early 1970s by renowned builder John Guppy and Hawkeye Wijkander, hence its namesake.
The 3/8 designation stands for a 3-liter chassis fitted with an 8-liter engine. In this case, the original engine was replaced with a 6.5-liter engine that once produced a stock 140 horsepower. However, this engine was given a good workover that enlarged its displacement to a full 8.0 liters and its engine power rating to an awe-inspiring 437 horsepower.
Onlookers can easily distinguish the Hawkeye Special from other Bentley’s not just by its unique coachwork, but also by the six side pipes extending across the left side of the coachwork. The coachwork is covered in classic British Racing Green while the interior is finished in genuine leather matching the exterior color.
Once you see and hear this vehicle in person, it’s easy to stand in awe of such a magnificent machine that literally exudes power from its very form. W.O. Bentley would definitely be proud of this stunning creation.

What is boiling? Explain it on the basis of molecular motion?
BOILING: “The change of liquid to vapours on heating at a constant temperature is called BOILING”
K.E = `1/2`Mv2: more the speed of molecules more is the kinetic energy. Heating of the liquid increases the average kinetic energy of liquid molecules and molecules acquire sufficient K.E. needed to overcome the force of attraction of other molecules. These molecules start leaving the liquid not only at the surface but also near the walls of the containing vessel and bubbles are seen on the walls of the vessel. This causes the agitation in the whole of the liquid and this is called boiling.

An international phase III clinical trial evaluating the drug Arimoclomol for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has reached full enrollment, as reported by a University of Miami Miller School of Medicine researcher. The current phase III trial builds upon the results of a prior phase II trial that enrolled patients with a rapidly progressive, rare genetic form of ALS.
“Based on the mechanism of action of the drug and our understanding of the underlying biology of ALS, however, there is good reason to believe that all patients with ALS might benefit from Arimoclomol,” said Michael Benatar, M.D., Ph.D., professor of neurology, the Walter Bradley Chair in ALS Research, and executive director of the ALS Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
Dr. Benatar, who designed and led the prior phase II trial, serves as the lead international coordinating investigator for the phase III trial, which includes patients at the University of Miami Health System. Altogether, 231 patients have been enrolled in the 76-week randomized, placebo-controlled trial being conducted at 30 ALS centers of excellence in North America and Europe. Local recruitment efforts at the University of Miami have been led by Volkan Granit, M.D., M.Sc., assistant professor of neurology, and Maria Elena Paredes. Follow-up of these enrolled patients is ongoing, with results from the trial expected in the first half of 2021. Patients completing the trial will be offered participation in an open-label extension trial.
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a rapidly progressive, fatal neurological disease that attacks the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscles. The Danish biopharmaceutical company Orphazyme A/S is sponsoring and running the phase III trial of Arimoclomol, a heat shock protein-based therapy that shows promise for the treatment of ALS.
The phase III trial completed enrollment sooner than anticipated. “It is thanks to the interest of ALS patients, families and caregivers, as well as the tireless efforts of physicians and research coordinators at all international participating centers, that we have been able to successfully complete enrollment,” said Dr. Benatar. “We look forward to topline results in hopes of delivering an important new treatment option for those living with ALS.”
The University of Miami and Dr. Benatar have financial interests related to the study.

The Egyptian government has ordered all strawberry and pepper exporters to register their farms and print all sourcing and export data on their packaging to enable traceability in case problems arise with shipments.
The decision follows a ban on the import of Egyptian oranges, peppers and strawberries by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the past 2 months after health inspectors found consignments from Egypt with unusually high levels of residual farm pesticides.
Egyptian Agriculture Export Council (AEC) Head Abdel Hamid Demerdash said the new labelling requirement is among measures taken to create the necessary conditions to lift the Saudi ban.
A successful roll-out of the farm coding system will lead to the establishment of a central registry of exporters of agricultural crops. Such a registry will lay down the rules governing the export of fruits, and certification processes thereof.

Ade Adesomoju, Abuja
Two legal icons, professors Itse Sagay and Akin Oyebode on Wednesday expressed regret over the current state of the Nigerian judiciary and its attitude towards the fight against corruption.
While Sagay, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, said the judiciary was hostile to the fight against corruption and needed to be brought on board in the war, Oyebode said the third arm of government needed redemption because of it transgression.
Sagay said the judiciary must desist from engaging in espirit de corps with corrupt judges.
He said corruption on the bench was tantamount to crimes against humanity, calling on upright judges to come hard on their corrupt colleagues and see them as destroyers of the institution.
Sagay and Oyebode spoke on Wednesday on the sidelines of a three-day conference on ‘Promoting International Cooperation in Combating Illicit Financial Flows and Enhancing Asset Recovery to Foster Sustainable Development.’
The event, which held at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja, started on Monday and ended on Wednesday.
It was co-organised by the Sagay-led Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, the Federal Ministry of Justice and the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Sagay said, “This decision by the NJC that judges who were arrested, and those who are on trial like Ademola, whose case is a life case, and others who have not been charged, but are going to be charged, calling them back is for me a sign of hostility to the fight against corruption.
“We cannot afford the judicial hierarchy to engage in espirit de corps with members of their group that are falling in the corruption struggle.
“They must join the executive whose mantra is total or near elimination of corruption for the sake of the survival of this country.
“Judges have a duty to join in this determination.
“So, that sort of decision that was taken gives the impression that they are hostile to the struggle.
“That’s one reason why I said they’re not on board.”
He said in his view, the judiciary remained the highest among the three arms of government due to his adjudicatory roles.
The don said by virtue of such roles conferred on the judiciary, any judge guilty of corruption was guilty of crimes against humanity.
Sagay said, “The judiciary, in my view, is the highest of the three arms of government.
“They are the only ones who adjudicate the disagreement between the other two. If you look at the set-up of the court they sit high above others and everybody is looking up at them.
“The rest of us apply, move, plead and they decide, and there’s no democracy about their decision.
“Their decision is binding. Calling them my lord is not an accident. After God, members of that group are the smaller lords.
“When you descend from that level and come into the mud to join in looting and accepting money from lawyers who have no name to protect, you join them in wallowing in corruption, the judicial hierarchy, the clean ones should come down hard, harder than the poor man who is sentenced everyday for stealing a goat.
“The judge who is guilty of corruption is almost guilty of a crime against humanity, because what he is doing is to undermine the whole integrity of the state. It means that when we have a major issue that can affect the future of the country, we can’t go to him, because he’s dishonest, he lacks integrity and is fraudulent and will not decide the case according to the justice of it.
“So it’s a very dangerous thing that is happening now and the judges must embrace the fight against corruption otherwise this country has no future.”
On his part, Oyebode, a Professor of International Law and Jurisprudence, described the judiciary as a custodian of due process and rule of law.
Backing Sagay’s view, Oyebode recalled the days when there used to be great judges who would never compromise their positions.
Oyebode said the judiciary of nowadays “seeks redemption because of its transgression.”
He said, “Prof Sagay many years ago wrote a book saluting the Supreme Court in terms of the judgment they handed down and the effervescence of the judiciary under the leadership of people like Kayode Eso, Chukwudifu Oputa and other distinguished jurists. They gave a testament to posterity. But since then a lot of water has passed under the bridge. There has been some misfits appointed into the judiciary – those who have abused or compromised their high judicial office.
“The judiciary is the custodian of due process and rule of law, and if gold rusts, what should iron do?
“I am part of those who believe that a people get the judiciary that they deserve. If Nigerians believe that the judiciary has a role to play in the scheme of things, then they must fight and defend the appointees, hoping that the appointees themselves would reflect the confidence that people reside in them.
“…I think the judiciary now seeks redemption because of its transgression.
“We just have to wish them well and hope that a greater day lies ahead for judges in contemporary times.”
