THE GREETER
Hark ye Gentles, hark ye all,
Time has come for curtain call.
Masks encountered in the wing,
Actors wait, the play's the thing.
Storied deeds in noble measure,
Bring we now for your good pleasure.
Welcome to the Old Globe …
"Everything is cyclical," Jack O'Brien said.
Artistic director of the Old Globe Theatre, Simon Edison Centre for the Performing Arts, O'Brien might have looked at the Globe's recent achievements and projected a bolder view of the future of the tri-theater complex in Balboa Park.
The Globe's brilliant rise to prominence among the nation's regional theaters has been highlighted by a Special Tony Award, selection of "Skin of Our Teeth" as the first PBS satellite telecast of a live stage production, a visit from Queen Elizabeth II, and a record-setting subscription ticket sale of over $1 million for last season.
O'Brien's cautious outlook as been fostered by a professional theater career spanning more than twenty years and including directional posts in regional theaters, on Broadway and with a number of opera companies. He has been associated with the changing fortunes of the Globe since arriving for the first time in 1969 to direct "A Comedy of Errors" on its main stage.
Whatever its fortunes, grand or grave, the Globe has always come through as a strong survivor, loved and nurtured by the community in which it was founded fifty years ago. Unequivocal in pinpointing the mainspring of the theater's strength, O'Brien said: "What I think is unique about the Globe and its history, the potential that has been implicit all these years, is the impact of the personality of Craig….He has always been the most loyal, the most indigenously San Diego-oriented arts person I have ever known." "Craig" is of course Craig Noel, the Globe's executive producer, whose interest in the theater began with its inception as an attraction of the California Pacific International Exposition.
The Old Globe opened on May 29, 1935, less than a year after Noel graduated from San Diego High School, his sights clearly focused on a theatrical career. His earliest professional jobs were as an actor, first in a 1934 play at the old Savoy Theater and then as one of a troupe of players organized by Tyrone Power's mother, Patia, to present cut or "Cameo" versions of Shakespearean plays. "Our intention was to take the plays on the road and into universities and high schools," Noel said.
Midway in the decade of the great depression, the plight of theater throughout the country was desperate. Stock and repertory companies were folding. Survival rested almost entirely in Federal Theater companies supported by the government through the WPA. A federal grant awarded the Power's group was soon withdrawn and the company closed after its first booking at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood.
Noel came home to a more promising theater prospect. San Diego, getting ready to open its exposition, had taken a few cues from the Chicago World's Fair. "Two of the most successful attractions at the Chicago fair were Sally Rand and her famous fan dance and The Old Globe Production Company, a group of eager attractive, talented, young performers doing 'streamlined' versions of Shakespeare's plays," Noel said. "So, San Diego brought Sally and her fans and the Globe players to the exposition."
The replica of Shakespeare's original Old Globe built for the exposition copied the circular Elizabethan design and went a step further to achieve a greater feeling of authenticity. "Because of San Diego's wonderful climate, exposition officials decided they could follow the original Old Globe plan of an open-air building with no roof," Noel said. "They actually had a copy of the 'Wooden O' that Shakespeare talked about. Unfortunately, the stage had been placed so that the late afternoon sun shone right in the eyes of the audiences."
The solution was to put up an awning-type roof to be pulled across as the sun moved. Thus accommodated, audiences began to build. With shows running only about fifty minutes, they even remained undeterred by "rough hewn" benches.
Exposition visitors also were attracted by the Elizabethan ambience of the theater's adjacent buildings, Falstaff Tavern, an English-style restaurant where the Carter Centre Stage now stands, and Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe, a gift shop now replaced by the box office and refreshment stand.
"The Old Globe Theatre turned out to be the most popular attraction at the exposition," Noel said. "San Diegans, many of whom had never seen Shakespeare before, became very keen about the plays."
One of the very keen fans introduced to Shakespeare at the exposition was Katherine Drummond Garretson. She lived near the park, and, with her mother and sister, walked across Cabrillo Bridge to the Globe almost every day. "True, they Were cut versions, but the essence of each play was there," Mrs. Garretson said. "That was when I learned to understand and to love Shakespeare. We saw the plays again and again. I discovered something new each time."
Some of the actors became Mrs. Garretson's friends, occasionally dining with her family for scholarly discussions of the plays. Noel, soon another fan, became acquainted with the actors at some of their other mealtimes. One of several part time jobs he took to work his way through San Diego State was behind the lunch counter at Bakker's Drug Store, then at Fifth and Laurel.
"Although the Globe was an Equity company, the actors were paid a pittance," Noel said. "As I remember, dinners at Falstaff Tavern went as high as eighty-five cents, an exorbitant price at the time — certainly for the actors. Bakker's blue plate specials were more in keeping with what they could afford."
Noel's meeting with Thomas Wood Stevens, the company's director, was exciting though not one of his great successes. "I remember very clearly auditioning for Mr. Stevens," he said. "But, nothing ever came of the audition."
Most of the actors in the company brought from Chicago were recent graduates of Carnegie Institute of Technology (Carnegie Mellon University) where Stevens had been head of the drama department. It was he and B. Iden Payne, noted Shakespearean director and specialist in Elizabethan staging, who cut the nineteen plays presented at the exposition.
Daily programs opened at 1:00 p.m. and included seven or eight plays with ten minute intermissions between. Each actor played as many as six different roles a day. One of them was Irene Tedrow who has since followed a distinguished career on stage and in motion pictures and television. "We didn't always play leading roles," she said. "If we played a big part in one play, we played a small one in the next. It was a hectic schedule but our youth carried us along. The whole company was young."
As in Shakespeare's day, there was little or no scenery. The stage was built with a large apron extending in front of the proscenium arch and a two-story permanent set in the back of the stage. Scenes depicting a variety of settings merely shifted from the apron to the upper or lower inner-stage levels. "Shakespeare tells audiences (in his dialogue) where scenes take place — 'here on this heath,' 'here in this ante-chamber,' 'on the coast of Dover' — or whatever," Noel said.
In May of 1936, the Globe Players left for an engagement in Dallas and another company, The Fortune Players, moved in to perform until the close of the fair on September 9, 1936. The end of the exposition signaled the beginning of plans to tear down all temporary structures, including the Globe, the tavern and the curiosity shop.
"Fans who had been enthusiastic about the theater were shocked at the thought of its being destroyed," Noel said. A committee determined to save the Globe was quickly formed. Its aims were to convince city officials of the theater's potential as a cultural asset and to raise the money to remodel the Globe and the other two buildings.
The young woman chosen to head the committee possessed not only the youthful energy and skill to guide efforts to raise funds from a depression-blighted economy, she also had in mind a viable use for the theater. Mary Belcher Farrell, sister of Frank Garrettson Belcher, president of the exposition, had acted as her brother's hostess occasionally and attended Globe plays frequently. In a quote from a San Diego Union article of April 9, 1978, she said: "The theater has always fascinated me and I had done a great deal of work in drama while I was at Berkeley (University of California), Smith College and Berkeley Community Theater. When I came home, I was horrified to see that San Diego's community theater was in my grandfather's garage on Front street." The garage was called "The Barn" and one of Farrell's ambitions was to find its players a better home. She saw the Globe as the realization of that ambition.
The $15,000 campaign budget for the Globe restoration would be acquired on a matching-funds basis — $7,500 to be raised out in the community and the other $7,500 to be provided by the city. Emily Cap well, the only paid campaign worker, earned $12 for a six-day week. She handled all clerical duties and received contributions at an office set up in the curiosity shop building. "Most of the donations were in the $1 and $2 bracket, with a few as high as $10. We never would have made it without those small donations," she said.
A popular opinion at the time — that little was needed beyond the addition of a permanent roof for the theater — was a tremendous underestimation. "It was in every sense a temporary building, put together with board and batten," Noel said. "In essence, it had to be torn down and rebuilt."
If $15,000 seems an impossible reconstruction cost even for the 1930s, it was. The depression itself, however, made the project possible. Labor was provided by the federal government through the WPA. Estimates of the value of that labor, by those trying to recall fifty-year-old facts, ranged from $40,000 to $100,000.
The theater's board of directors worked harmoniously on details of leasing the Old Globe buildings from the city and on coordinating the remodeling project, but became divided on a major construction effort. The late William (Bill) Wilmurt, architect, was confronted with the problem of appeasing board members with opposing views on the design of the stage. Noel recalled that: "Half of the board, hoping that the theater would continue to be used exclusively for Shakespearean plays, wanted an Elizabethan thrust stage with no scenery. The other half wanted a proscenium arch to allow for all kinds of staging. To please everyone, Bill designed the stage with an eleven-foot apron in front of a proscenium arch and a fifteen-foot stage back of the curtain line."
In 1937, the San Diego Community Theatre was chartered by the State of California as a non-profit corporation; Luther Martin Kenneth, Jr., a recent graduate of the drama school at Yale University, was hired as its first permanent director, and on December 2, the curtain rose on John Van Druten's "The Distaff Side," the first play in the newly remodeled building.
The community campaign for $7,500 actually netted over $10,000. The overage helped provide some working capital and, as Noel recalled, additional funds were raised by the board to underwrite the first season. Hopes that the theater would soon become self-supporting proved empty. "The hardest thing we tried to do was get audiences even though ticket prices were ridiculously low, only thirty-five cents as I remember," Noel said. "But, money was still tight and San Diegans were not accustomed to stage productions."
In an effort to recapture some of the enthusiasm shown during the exposition, Kennett staged several Shakespearean plays, but attendance remained meager. Then, in the summer of 1938 a melodrama called "The Gambler" was produced. An olio of "Gay Nineties" numbers was included, refreshments were sold and the admission price was lowered to twenty-five cents. "People came to cheer the hero and hiss the villian," Noel said. "They packed the theater throughout the summer and we made enough money to support the winter season." The next summer, "The Drunkard" was presented with even greater success and, as Noel said, "Summer melodramas set the pattern until the start of World War II."
Within twenty-four hours of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Navy took over Balboa Park evicting tenants of all buildings, including the Globe. In his UCLA thesis on "The Old Globe Theatre in San Diego," John Eugene Donnelly noted that during the war the Globe's "assets were stored in various places (in the city) and its grand piano loaned to the Fine Arts Society (San Diego Museum of Art), to be housed in the Society's wartime location in Mission Hills, dispossessed Globe members not called to active military duty managed to carry on as a group."
Donnelly records that Delza Martin was the leader in keeping the group together at monthly meetings and one-act play presentations at Dartlee Hall on Sixth Avenue. Two major productions also were given during that period, "The Male Animal," presented at the San Diego Women's Clubhouse, and "One Sunday Afternoon," in Hoover High School auditorium.
Members with singing and dancing talents represented the theater or joined USO troupes to entertain at military installations throughout the county. Performing in weekly drama broadcasts over Radio Station KGB also kept Globites active.
The San Diego Community Theatre's home front organization was intact and ready when the Navy returned the Old Globe in July, 1947. Old members began returning from military service and new volunteers became interested.
Noticeably absent from among the returning veterans was Craig Noel. After wartime duty with the Army's 37th Infantry Division in the South Pacific and Special Services with occupation troops in Japan, Noel became a film test director in Hollywood.
Delza Martin proved to be as skilled at keeping track of members dispersed by the war as she was at keeping together those at home. When the time came to put the first postwar show into production, she knew just where to find Noel. Noel agreed to come back to San Diego to direct the play which marked the beginning of a new era for the Globe. William Saroyan's "Time of Your Life" opened on October 29, 1947, to good reviews and fair-sized audiences. The need for money, however, was as great as it had ever been.
Despite an almost non-existent treasury, a little money was spent on interior decoration of the theater. Grateful for the refurbishing done by the Navy, the theater board decided to repaint the dead white walls with warmer colors and to replace the old exposition benches with true theater seats. Seats from an old motion picture theater went on sale and Martin, displaying yet another talent, struck a bargain to purchase 400 seats for $300. She negotiated to purchase 300 at $1 each and to get 100 free.
Volunteers kept costs down by helping to refinish the seats. They also painted heraldic shields and sewed banners placed around the auditorium walls to enhance the Elizabethan atmosphere. Volunteer work was general practice around the theater. The only paid staff at the time included the director, one office worker and stagehands and electricians required by labor unions. Nevertheless, the theater's major asset, the grand piano, had to be sold to help finance the opening season. By the next summer it was again necessary to produce money-making melodramas. But, the two presented in 1948 — "The Drunkard" and "Ten Nights In a Barroom" — were the last.
By the summer of 1949, the theater's most valuable asset was its director. Craig Noel had decided to stay as permanent director and the Globe felt ready to take the gamble that was to be its first step toward national recognition. Hunton D. Sellman, then head of the drama department at San Diego State University, invited the Globe to join the university in bringing B. Iden Payne to San Diego to direct a Shakespearean play to be presented at the Globe. The first San Diego National Shakespeare Festival was co-sponsored by the Globe and the university. It opened on June 15, 1949, with "Twelfth Night." "That was our reintroduction of Shakespeare after the war," Noel said. "Audiences liked it. We were able to charge a little more for tickets and the summer was considered a success."
In another daring move, the Globe followed that summer festival with an original production. The idea for a topical revue had been brewing for some time among a small group of theater members. Gilbert Warner, pianist and composer, recalled that it all began at the home of Sadie Lou Tieri: "Sadie had a piano. I would play some music and John Clark would scribble some lyrics. We were just having fun making up songs. One night, Jimmy Holloway came over and contributed some things and, before we knew it, other people were helping. We began collecting a lot of stuff about San Diego. Jimmy got the idea of putting the material together into a show and promoted it with Craig."
"Caught In the Act," directed by Noel, opened in September, 1949. Songs, dances and skits dealt with San Diego events, places, institutions, legends, noted personalities, eccentric characters, flora and fauna. Accompaniment was by duo pianists, Warner and Betty Hayter Meads. Brisk, satirical and original, it was a smash. In Warner's words, "The audience went insane. The theater was packed every night." It was a different kind of show for the Globe, demanding a different kind of talent. Former USO performers, encouraged by Margo Miller to participate in some of the Old Globe's regular Monday night workshops, made up a small core of available variety show talent.
"There wasn't the wealth of musical talent that there is today," Warner said. "We just made the best use of what we had. When we had to make a choice between a singer and an actor, we learned to choose the actor. An actor does better than a guy who has a beautiful voice but performs like a stone. We also were able to tailor numbers to the talent if we had to. And, something magic happened. Everybody turned out to be better than they were supposed to be."
The success of the Shakespeare Festival and "Caught" did not include financial rewards. "Catgut's" numerous set pieces and costumes created tremendous production costs, putting a particular strain on finances. Their values were in other attainments. The festival was acclaimed for bringing Shakespeare back into the Globe and the revue was cheered for originality and sheer entertainment.
They became annual events. "Caught" was presented for six years, ending when talent dispersed and subject matter dwindled. The festival, still one of the theater's great assets, has been produced each year except for the summer of 1953.
The association with SDSU made it necessary to cast students in those early festival plays. Noel experienced a growing dissatisfaction with the caliber of productions, attendance began to drop off and the board of directors decided to drop the festival after its fourth season.
The Broadway hit play, "Mr. Roberts," was released to amateur companies the next year and Noel chose it as his summer production, opening on July 8, 1953. "The success of 'Mr. Roberts' was the turning point in the history of the theater," Noel said. "It played sixty-nine performances to standing room every night. We cleared $70,000 — more money than we had ever had at one time. Lowell Davies (board president) was so elated, he kept sending box office reports to Jack Moser (treasurer) who was then in Europe. The Globe was never, ever again in danger of going under or fearing it would be unable to produce a next season."
Despite its critical and financial success, "Mr. Roberts" did have its detractors. Lovers of the classics were offended by the decision to replace a summer of Shakespeare with a modern play. "The attitude was, 'How dare the Globe not do Shakespeare again this summer/ " Noel recalled. "There was national publicity on the subject and a number of local editorials. One of the headlines I remember was, 'Mr. Roberts sinks Shakespeare.' "
Shakespeare surfaced again the next summer when the festival was presented under the aegis of a single producer — the Old Globe Theatre. It was as Noel said, "a whole new festival," coming at the end of a successful winter season of seven popular plays and with the treasury at a comfortable level.
The 1954 San Diego National Shakespeare Festival included three plays with three guest directors: "Othello," Frank McMullen; "Twelfth Night," Patrick Wymark, and "The Merchant of Venice," Philip Hanson. Student participants were Globe scholarship winners selected on the basis of talent. Noel noted that "the standards of our festival productions began to rise and the scholarship students contributed to that."
A women's committee, with Marian Trevor as chairman, was organized to help promote the 1954 festival and to stimulate more community involvement in the theater. So successful was the committee in carrying out its aims that the formation of a permanent women's support group became inevitable. The Globe Guilders was founded by the late Irma Macpherson in 1955. It continues as an integral part of the Globe with members performing valuable volunteer duties year-round.
Noel added a Shakespearean play to his on-going duties as winter season director for the first time that year. He directed "Taming of the Shrew" in the 1955 festival, joining guest directors B. Iden Payne, "Measure for Measure," and Allen Fletcher, "Hamlet."
With highly respected directors participating and recognition of the festival spreading to other parts of the country, the next move was not unexpected. For its first twenty-two years as a community theater, the Globe presented only amateur actors. Then in 1959, Shakespeare plays were cast with Equity players. "For a great number of years we were a professional company during the summer and an amateur company during the winter," Noel said. "We were both amateur and professional and we tried to be the best of both. A very special feeling developed about the work done here and about the reaction of the audiences."
That very special feeling, Largely associated with community pride, was one of the roots of the theater's growing success. Others were new audiences lured by such hits as "Caught" and "Mr. Roberts" and by social events presented by the Guilders. "It became socially acceptable to go to the theater," Noel said. "And, theater is habit forming."
Noel and others dreamed of catering to that habit by expanding the Globe's facilities. The dream began to take shape in 1963 with the introduction of arena productions in Falstaff Tavern. The main room of the tavern, previously used as a rehearsal hall and hospitality center where intermission coffee and tea were served, was rigged with bleacher-style seats around the arena stage. Small though it was, it gave the Globe an opportunity to offer art type plays for audiences interested in that side of theater.
The establishment of the arena stage brought Globe production to more than a dozen plays a year. The festival schedule of three plays remained constant. The winter season comprised six plays on the Globe stage and four or five in the tavern. William Roesch was named associate director to share winter season duties with Noel.
Self-supporting through good years and bad, the Globe began receiving outside help with its first grant from COMBO (Combined Arts and Education Council of San Diego County) in 1964. Given that financial buffer and with an awareness of the community's ever-increasing regard for the theater as a cultural asset, Globe leaders set plans in motion to fulfill the dream evoked by the success of the arena plays — a true center stage theater. Remodeling of the Falstaff Tavern into a 225-seat arena theater began in October, 1968, and the Cassius Carter Centre Stage opened on January 23, 1969.
The Globe had become a successful dual-theater project. Prospects for continued growth were shining. Noel envisioned the form that growth would take. "I began talking about an additional theater in about 1970," he said. "Early in 1978, the board appointed Jim Mulvaney and Deborah Szekely cochairmen of a committee to raise $3 million to build a third theater."
The committee's work had hardly begun when, on March 8, 1978, the greatest imaginable tragedy struck the theater. The Old Globe was destroyed by arson. The shock felt by thousands of San Diegans was expressed by a tearful Delza Martin: "I feel as though I've lost a member of my family." The mourning period was brief. The Globe had survived a world war and poverty and it would survive the fire.
On the credit side, the theater was the only building lost. The offices, rehearsal hall, dressing rooms, storage areas, scenery and costume shops and the Centre Stage remained unscathed. Within hours, the board of directors went into session to plan immediate action for meeting the emergency. Mulvaney and Szekely accepted the task of mounting a rebuilding fund campaign. A search also got underway for a temporary theater to keep the Globe in production. Six days after the tragedy, "The Sunshine Boys," which had been playing at the Globe opened at the Spreckels Theater. "Old Times," the Centre Stage production, continued without a break.
The most exciting turn of events was the solution to the question of where to present the approaching Shakespeare Festival. The city agreed to release to the Globe the area thought ideal for a new theater — the canyon east of Cassius Centre Stage — as the site for a temporary outdoor theater.
Just 100 days after the fire the 29th San Diego National Shakespeare Festival opened in the new 620-seat Festival Theatre. Having lost its main theater, the Globe began producing on three stages. Center stage productions continued at the Cassius Carter and the Shakespeare Festival climbed to greater artistic heights in its new outdoor theater. Old Globe productions moved downtown for the duration. The first season of plays was presented in the Spreckels and the next two at the California Theater.
In an amazingly warm showing of support for the rebuilding program, the theater received nearly $500,000 in unsolicited funds within the first month after the fire. The total $6.5 million was raised in less than two years. With the successful conclusion of the campaign in sight and the construction of the three-theater Simon Edison Centre for the Performing Arts underway, an artistic-administrative leadership triumvirate was established in January, 1981. Named to guide the fortunes of the new enterprise were Craig Noel, executive producer; Jack O'Brien, artistic director, and Thomas Hall, managing director.
The new theater, dedicated on January 5, 1982, fulfilled the cherished hopes of artists, administrators and devoted fans alike. The outer appearance echoes the Shakespearean period in circular design and the suggestion of stone and timber construction. Red dominates as the warm and welcoming color of the auditorium's interior decor. Technical appointments range from the spectacular lighting system to the magnificent stage and are contrived to make possible the myriad illusions which are part of excellent theater.
The inaugural performance on January 14, 1982, was doubly appropriate. The play, "As You Like It," was by Shakespeare and the direction was by Noel. The dazzling gala which followed celebrated, not the rebirth of a lost theater, but the birth of a brand new facility to be the setting for a brand new theatrical era. It marked the beginning of a year-round professional acting company. The Globe had become an Actors' Equity theater.
Artistic accomplishments matched the beauty and practical assets of the new theater. Ticket sales set records for performances in the Globe as well as the other two theaters. Prestige grew with ever-widening national and international recognition and accolades from the theatrical world.
Then last year, on October 29, in an almost unbelievable stroke of misfortune, arson struck again. The Festival Stage was gutted. With no less determination than followed the 1978 conflagration, the staff and volunteers pledged themselves to the rebuilding of the Festival Stage in time for its 1985 reopening as part of the Old Globe Theatre's 50th anniversary celebration.
The glow of its golden anniversary undiminished by the smoke of destructive flames, the Old Globe Theatre is entering its second half century on a path alight with recently bestowed awards and growing opportunities to display its artistic brilliance nationwide.
But, its 24-carat luster is in the reflection of affection from a community which regards the theater as its own.
In Noel's words:
"There is no disputing that the Globe has been the prime theater in San Diego for the first fifty years."

As one of the special registration regions in China, Hong Kong has its unique landscapes which may convey its British style culture as well as the metropolis feelings. Attractions from the modern ones like Disneyland Park to the beautiful site Victoria Park, no matter which type of attractions you are interested, you can spend a leisure time by losing yourself in this charming city. The following attractions are introduced for your reference.


In late 2018, the Law Council provided a submission to the Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Reference Committee's inquiry into the effectiveness of the current temporary skills visa system in targeting genuine skills shortages.
In its submission, the Law Council made a number of recommendations for reforms to specific aspects of Australia's temporary skilled visa system, which included proposals to adjust the obligation on employers to undertake labour market testing, to lessen the requirement for temporary skilled visa holders to undergo skills assessment in certain circumstances and to reform the way in which employers are levied for their sponsorship for skilled migrants.
The Law Council placed an emphasis in its submission on the need to strike a balance between an effective temporary skilled visa regime that adequately meets Australia's skilled migrant needs while ensuring that temporary skilled visa holders enjoy the same access to workplace rights and protections as other Australians.

Today go ahead and strategy that barbeque party inside your backyard and end up forgetting about the cleaning up and disposing. Decorate your home, cook with regard to friends and family, encourage them over and planning out the enjoyment activities with regard to guests. Before you are done, you can be using little as well as big heaps of trash that may now be covered easily. These businesses are the following to make your living easier.
One of the biggest parts of your clean-up is going to be deciding what exactly is trash and what's definitely not. Without going too crazy, it is probably ideal to err assisting trashing things, because it's going to make the job, and your life, a whole bunch simpler.

Are hormones or steroids used to make chickens grow bigger and faster?
No, the use of hormones and steroids in the production of chicken is illegal in Canada, and has been since the 1960′s.
Is there really such a thing as a Chicken Squad?
No, the Chicken Squad and Chicken Squad Intelligence are fictional agencies inspired by the real team of provincial inspectors who enforce Canadian food standards in BC. The real inspectors don't carry guns or bust bad guys, instead they work with farmers and regulators to ensure all the chicken raised in BC meets On Farm Food Safety, Animal Care and Biosecurity guidelines.
I've heard that "Broiler" chickens get so big that they become crippled by their own weight. Is that true?
No, it's not true. A "broiler" chicken simply means a chicken that's raised for meat, and all chickens raised in Canada only reach a natural healthy weight. It would be impossible for a chicken to get so big that it would become crippled by its own weight because chickens raised in Canada are free to eat and drink on their own.
Yes. The amount of floor space required for each chicken is strictly regulated by the Chicken Farmers of Canada and the BC Chicken Marketing Board. The fact is that birds on BC chicken farms are raised in a density that meets humane standards to ensure the birds have enough room to walk about and spread their wings. Specifically, the density prescribed by the BC Chicken Marketing Board is 31 kg per square metre (6.29 lb/ft2), which exceeds BC SPCA's prescribed density of 32 Kg per square metre. In comparison, in the UK, maximum density is 42 Kg per square metre. In BC this kind of looks like a cluster of baby chicks in a skating rink, so there's lots of room to grow over the 6-8 weeks the birds will live in the barn.
None! Fresh, raw chicken meat is additive-free. However, some chicken products (such as chicken labelled "seasoned") could include additives. This is because the word "seasoned" means the meat has been processed using a mixture of salt, water and/or sodium phosphate to allow the product to retain some of its moisture when cooked (sometimes flavouring is added too). Single ingredient meat products, like boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thighs, etc. will have no ingredient lists, no mention of "seasoning," and therefore, no additives.
Chickens are free to get their own food and water. Feeders and water lines are installed in the barns so they can access water and food whenever they are hungry and thirsty.
The use of antibiotics in Canadian agriculture is heavily regulated. As in human health, antibiotics are used if a flocks' health is at risk. All antibiotics must be approved for use by Health Canada or by direction of a veterinary prescription. Farmers must follow strict protocols on withdrawal periods to ensure residues do not enter the food chain.
The responsible use of antibiotics has always been key to Chicken Farmers' of Canada's On-farm Food Safety Program, which is a mandatory program in all Canadian provinces and has received full federal, provincial and territorial government recognition. This program has been around more than 10 years. All commercial chicken farmers in BC are certified under this program and are audited every year.
How do chicken get from the farm to the slaughterhouse?
Chickens are transported to processing plants in trucks specially designed for shipping poultry. First, catching crews gather the birds from the barn and place them into crates for transport. Specific codes of practice dictate the rules and methods used for gathering, crating and transporting chickens.

Pimp my Lawn has your answer to moss control 100% guaranteed!
We have your answer to Moss control.
Moss is a shallow rooted plant that covers the ground, smothering grass and exhausting food reserves from the soil. It grows most actively in late autumn and winter, especially during mild, wet weather with overcast skies and it spreads by a variety of methods. Most species produce small capsules containing spores above the leafy part of the plant and these spores are easily dispersed by wind, water or traffic.
After coming into contact with soil, they germinate and form a plant-like structure that is the first stage in the development of moss. Moisture and minerals are absorbed and produce new buds which give rise to new stems. In most cases moss cannot invade a vigorous, healthy lawn. The presence of moss may be a result of low fertility or heavy shaded, wet damp areas.
Scarifying helps keep Moss under control and will greatly improve your lawns condition.

Turkish Parliament begins debating 2011 budget
Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek made a presentation to lawmakers about government's plans for the coming fiscal year.
The Turkish Parliament has begun debating 2011 budget on Monday as Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek made a presentation to lawmakers about government's plans for the coming fiscal year.
"We are trying to bring long-term solutions to country's problems. We are not engaged in populist policies or in a spending spree [before parliamentary election planned for July 2011]," Simsek said in his opening remarks.
Simsek said that Turkey had seen a recovery since mid-2009 and managed the economic crisis very well thanks to measures taken in time.
"Thanks to structural reforms we have made and proactive finance policies we have followed, we will ensure a long-lasting economic recovery," Simsek told the parliament.
Simsek also said that IMF's forecast for Turkey's growth this year was 7.8 percent and OECD's expectation was 8.2 percent. He said an average 8 percent economic growth would be a great success for Turkey considering 4.8 percent forecast for global growth.
Turkey contracted 4.7 percent in 2009.
Simsek said that Turkey has become one of the fastest-recovering economies in the world by the help of government's reforms, robust macroeconomic fundamentals and strong banking system. He said, "Turkish economy has become one of the leading countries in growth performance after an 8.9 percent growth in the first three quarters. Turkey is still one of the fastest growing countries in Europe and and OECD countries."
On current account deficit, Simsek said that Turkey should increase domestic savings, reduce energy dependency, focus on production of high value-added goods and services, and increase its manpower to bring down the current account deficit to reasonable levels in the medium and long term.
He said another important problem of the country was unemployment, adding that Turkey has created jobs during and after the crisis.
"Turkish economy has created an additional 2.8 million jobs from 2007 to the second quarter of 2010," he said in his presentation.
As a result, Simsek said, the government has prepared a budget which takes into consideration the new economic cycle in the world, supports real economy and a budget which is also socially strong.

21 Jun Is Intermittent Fasting Safe For Women?
Since writing my book on fasting, I have had many females email me or DM me over in Instagram to ask is intermittent fasting safe for women, as they had heard some worrying information that had kept them away from trying it in the past. Many of the concerns that they were having were around hormones and how it may affect them and their bodies. This is a completely legitimate concern to have and you should never rush into any kind of lifestyle change or modification without doing your research. In this article, I hope to address many of those concerns, to allow you to tick it off your check list and get started on your Later Day Eating Life.
Firstly, if you don't know what intermittent fasting is I would strongly urge you to go over to the previous article that I wrote (You can click HERE for easy access) and read a much more detailed post on what it is and if it is right for you. In short, intermittent fasting is the practice of going for long periods of time without food. There are multiple variations on how you can do it, but they all have the same premise and that is to have a period when you don't eat and a period when you do eat. The benefits are vast, but all in all, fasting is beginning to become a mainstream idea as research and science begins to back up the claims that many of us who have been doing it for years have been saying from the beginning. With that all said, women vary greatly from men (no big shock there) and with a woman's hormone profile being the major difference in how both men and women are made up, you will of course see vast differences in how our bodies react to a certain lifestyle.
Let's not sugar coat it and get right to what some women have reported happening when they have tried intermittent fasting. Some women (not all) will report serious problems such as metabolic disruption, missed periods, early onset of menopause and binge eating. If you are female and reading all that, you would be excused for thinking that you should stay well away from Intermittent Fasting. One thing to note though is that there are a multitude of other reason that can also cause those things to happen, and so let's not ride it off just yet. I am going to get a little sciency here and talk about hormones and why in females they can be affected more than in males.
The truth is the scientific community doesn't really know why female hormones are affected more, however they do have ideas. It turns out (but isn't surprising) that the hormones that regulate things like ovulation can be incredibly sensitive to energy intake and regularity. The hypothalamus and pituitary glad are key hormone regulators in both the male and the female bodies. They work hand in hand, with the hypothalamus releasing certain neurohormones that in turn either stimulate or inhibit the secretion of pituitary hormones.
Last bit of boring science, I promise.
One such reaction occurs when the Hypothalamus releases a hormone called Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) which tells the pituitary glad to release Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicular Stimulating Hormone (FSH). LH and FSH act on the ovaries (testes in men) and trigger the production of estrogen and progesterone which are needed to produce a mature egg and support a pregnancy. Due to the very precise and regular timing of this cycle in females, if it does not occur then everything can be put out of place. These pulses of GnRH can be sensitive to your surrounding environment and so fasting can throw this process off. If all of that went over your head, you are just like me then and need a more simplified explanation. Think of your body as an airport and the hypothalamus is the air traffic coordinator with his radar screen in front of him. If it looks like two planes are going to crash, a message is sent to each plane to tell them to change their path to avoid an accident. In the case of your body the air traffic controller is the hypothalamus telling the plane, which is the pituitary gland, to make an adjustment which will cause an outcome.
I hope that analogy makes more sense and allows you to understand the relationship that these glands have in your body.
Unfortunately, to date, there has been almost no research done on how fasting affects females, however from what scientists do know about males and females, is that a calorie deficit or negative energy balance may be to blame for this hormonal effect I have been talking about above. This can come about from having too little food, exercising too much, high levels of stress in your life, poor nutrition, not enough sleep as well as illness and infection. Any combination of these can cause the stop to ovulation and so you need to pay close attention to what is going on in your life and how your body is reacting. You know your body better than anyone else and so you need to listen to what it may be trying to tell you.
If you are in the middle of training for a marathon and get the flu and miss a period, maybe you should look to reducing your training for a week or two.
Maybe you have been working late every night for the past 3 months to get a presentation done for a big talk you have to give.
Maybe you just started intermittent fasting.
Whatever it is, pay close attention to what is going on in your life as any number of possibilities could arise and cause your body to shut down.
While our bodies are truly amazing, one thing they lack is the ability to distinguish the difference between an actual threat to our life or us just stressing about a presentation.
So, is Fasting For You?
There are some parts of the female population that I would say should never try fasting. If you are pregnant, are chronically stressed or have had issues with an eating disorder in the past I would strongly suggest you do not start a fasting program. If you are pregnant, have the baby first and with the last two I would deal with these issues first before starting a fasting program.
For all other female populations, fasting protocols varying greatly and some are much more extreme than others. Some will ask you to fast for days on end while others will have you skipping breakfast. Your age, nutritional status, levels of stress in your life, how much exercise you do and type of fast can all be relevant factors when looking to include Intermittent Fasting into your lifestyle. I always say with every female, and male for that matter, who come to me to enquire about my program that you should take a conservative approach in the beginning. My program will have all participants slowly push their first meal out longer and longer over the course of a few weeks to adjust to the change. In this time, I would make sure you are paying close attention to how your body is reacting and should you experience any change in your menstrual cycle, have problems with sleep, take longer to recover from exercise or anything else that seems out of place you should stop immediately and consult your doctor for further tests.
At the end of the day fasting can be an amazing tool to help you on your weight loss and health journey. I have seen countless woman come across my program who have had amazing success with fasting, all while reporting no issues with any of what I have listed above. We are all very different and in turn should all be treated individually when it comes to any kind of nutritional plan or lifestyle change. Just remember to take it slow as this journey should never be looked at as a sprint, it's a marathon!
Eat plenty of nutritious fruits, vegetables and protein, exercise regularly and get plenty of rest and see if a fasting life is the missing link you have been looking for to help you on your journey.
I hope this article helped any questions you may have had. If you do have any questions or comments please leave them below as I would be more than happy to answer them for you.
Funnily enough, they are encouraging women with hormonal disorders like PCOS towards fasting and low carb diets to help regulate blood sugar levels and in management of excessive estrogen.
Having worked with many female clients, some who have suffered with PCOS I can say that for some it was the change they needed while others it was not for them. Just like anything, you need to give it a try and see how it works for you.


PayPal founder Peter Thiel's investment firm has become the first institutional investor to pump money into the marijuana industry.
Thiel's investment firm, Founders Fund, led by partner Geoff Lewis, has acquired a minority stake in Privateer Holdings, the Seattle-based owner of Leafly.com – a review site for medical marijuana, which also serves as a medical marijuana grower in Canada.
Neither Founders Fund nor Privateer Holdings disclosed the terms of the agreement, but Lewis said that investing in the cannabis business "is just a slightly more extreme version of something we've shown in our other investments that we're comfortable with. We're fine with investing in businesses with regulatory ambiguity, because we believe that regulation follows public sentiment."
Chief executive of Privateer Holdings, Brendan Kennedy, said: "This is an important milestone in the transition of this industry from a state of prohibition to a state of legalisation."
Founders Fund, which is best known for investing in tech companies including Facebook, has been investigating the marijuana industry in the States for 18 months now and has reached the conclusions that Privateer Holdings is the biggest money pot for it.
Lewis said: "At this point, we don't think there is any other company in Privateer's league. They have a strong first-mover advantage, and they're in a position to build a strong brand.
"There is somewhat of a regulatory risk with this business. But I don't think it's an order of magnitude greater of regulatory risk as something like Airbnb, where when we invested a few years back, the regulatory environment was unclear and it was even illegal in many cities. [Cannabis] is obviously a more controversial space, but not dissimilar from others we've invested in."
The investment from Founders Fund is part of a $60m (£40m) funding round for Privateer Holdings, which is apparently nearly fulfilled.
Cannabis for medicinal purposes is now legal in 24 states, and a further four states have legalised it for recreational use.

El Jardín botánico de Camperdown, (inglés: Camperdown Botanic Gardens) es un jardín botánico con 1 hectárea, y arboreto con 7 hectáreas de extensión, próximo al centro de Camperdown, Victoria, Australia.

El código de identificación internacional del "Camperdown Botanic Gardens" como miembro del "Botanic Gardens Conservation Internacional" (BGCI), así como las siglas de su herbario es  CAMPN.

Localización e información
Los Camperdown Botanic Gardens, se ubican cerca de la "Princes Highway" (A1), en el "Corangamite Shire", zona de lagos volcánicos y de muros de piedra en seco, construidos por los iniciales emigrantes de Escocia y Gales en los modos de sus zonas de origen.

Camperdown Botanic Gardens Park Road, PO Box 14, Camperdown, Victoria 3260 Australia.

Planos y vistas satelitales.

El jardín botánico está abierto todos los días del año.

Historia
El "Camperdown Botanic gardens" fue diseñado por el reconocido arquitecto del paisaje William Guilfoyle (1840–1912) quién diseñó el Real Jardín Botánico de Melbourne en 1879, y después de estos, varios jardines botánicos regionales más en Victoria.

Colecciones
En este jardín botánico el 10 % de sus colecciones  de plantas pertenecen a la flora australiana.

El "Camperdown Botanic gardens" domina sobre el lago volcánico "Bullen Merri" y sobre la llanura.

Alberga especies como olmos, cedros, pinos, acebo africano (Ilex mitis), .. siguiendo las normas que William Guilfoyle dejó en el jardín botánico de Melbourne. Varias sendas bordeadas por hileras de olmos en Camperdown fueron diseñadas por Guilfoyle.

Es de destacar la plantación de la Federación de callitris que representan a los Estados de  Australia y recuerda a los curadores del jardín. En su arboreto, hay ejemplares raros tal como el roble de los Himalayas Quercus leucotrichophora.

En el jardín botánico hay una estatua del poeta escocés Robbie Burns, que estuvo colocada  en "Tydenham Castle", cerca de Londres.

El olmo de Camperdown (Ulmus glabra 'Camperdownii') que se consiguió por vez primera, cuando David Taylor, lo descubrió como una retorcida rama mutante que crecía en los terrenos del bosque de la finca solariega de "Camperdown House" en Dundee, Escocia, es un cultivar que no se puede reproducir por semillas. Aunque todavía clasificado como un cultivar de Ulmus glabra, el árbol está considerado como nothomorph de U. × hollandica var. vegeta por Green (1964), (1964), not U. glabra.

Third floor determination
Given developments over the last few days, I thought it would be worth doing a single post on the validity of the third floor determination.
The relevant dates are as follows:
15 April 2003 – the RLA 2003 received Royal assent;
29 April 2003 – date of third floor determination;
30 April 2003 – Gazette entry publishing third floor determination; and
1 May 2003 – s 5(1) of the RLA 2003 came into force.
In a hearing last week, the County Court expressed the view that the third floor determination may not be valid because the determination is made under s 5(1) of the RLA 2003 and was made on 29 April 2003, but s 5(1) did not come into force until 1 May 2003.
However, Robert Hay, in a post on his blog, pointed out that the instrument appears to be valid under s 13 of the Interpretation of Legislation Act 1984.
Section 13 of the ILA, as was current at the date of the Ministerial Determination, states that:
13. Exercise of powers between passing and commencement of Act
Where an Act or a provision of an Act which does not come into operation immediately on the passing of the Act will, upon its coming into operation, confer power or amend another Act so as to confer power under the other Act as so amended to make subordinate instruments, give notices, make appointments, prescribe forms or do any other thing for the purposes of the first-mentioned Act or provision or that other Act, the power may, unless the contrary intention appears, be exercised at any time after the passing of the first-mentioned Act but the exercise of the power does not confer a right or impose an obligation on a person before the coming into operation of the first-mentioned Act or the provision of that Act in question except insofar as is necessary or expedient for the purpose of—
(a) bringing the first-mentioned Act or the provision of that Act in question into operation;
(b) making the first-mentioned Act or the provision of that Act in question fully effective at or after the time at which it comes into operation; or
(c) making the amendment made to the other Act by the first-mentioned Act or the provision of that Act in question fully effective at or after the time at which the first-mentioned Act or provision comes into operation.
As the RLA 2003 was passed on or before 15 April 2003, s 13 of the ILA appears to be sufficient to save the determination.
A copy of the determination is available here.

Black_cornwallpark_LOGO_RGB Created with Sketch.
cornwall park provides a living history of auckland and our country's growth.
From walking in the footsteps of our ancestors or earlier generations of our families, to key sites of historical importance, you can get a precious glimpse into times past in Cornwall Park. Our heritage sites below are unique and special places to visit.
Discover more of Cornwall Park's history here
Campbell statue and fountain
The statue of Sir John was unveiled on Empire Day on 24 May, 1906 on Campbell Crescent. It depicts Sir John in his mayoral robes at one-and-a-half-times actual size, holding the Deed of Gift of Cornwall Park. The statue, which was paid for by grateful members of the public, was modelled and cast in bronze by Henry A. Pegram in London, and set on a base of huge blocks of Mt Eden stone. The pool and statue base were designed by Charles Le Neve Arnold, the architect of Huia Lodge, and the fountain playing at its base completes the impressive structure. It was placed at the entrance to the original carriage-way lane into Cornwall Park from Manukau Rd. Sir John spent a considerable amount of money to ensure that Market Rd could be diverted and a large, semi circular ante-park created for the statue and to serve as the formal entrance to the park. Campbell Crescent has recently undergone a major refurbishment.
Acacia Cottage
Acacia Cottage is Auckland's oldest surviving wooden building, and was home for families associated with Brown & Campbell Co. Sir John sourced the kauri timber for the cottage from Northland, co-ordinating a small schooner to deliver it to Auckland. The house was originally located on Shortland St in Auckland City next to Campbell and Brown's business headquarters. Campbell used his own carpentry skills to complete the interior of the cottage himself after builders had raised the frame. The house was moved to the park in January 1921 and restored for members of the public to enjoy. Get a taste of life in the 1800s as you walk through the rooms, or sit on the porch and take in the lovely views.
Memorial Steps
The Memorial Steps below Acacia Cottage were constructed in 1956 in Sir John's memory. This spectacular flight of stone steps was designed by prominent New Zealand architects William Gummer and Reginald Ford. A bronze plaque set into the stonework of the steps records Sir John's arrival in New Zealand, his association with Governor Hobson and his burial on the summit of Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill. Immediately below steps is is the Native Arboretum, planted in the mid-1960s.
Rongo Stone
Our Rongo Stone is said to be an ancient representation of the Māori kūmara god, and would have traditionally been set up in kūmara gardens to ensure a good harvest. The stone is of great archaeological significance, and was originally brought to Cornwall Park by Sir John in 1890 after being retrieved from the roadside at the foot of Te Tātua-a-Riukiuta (Three Kings volcano). This particular stone got its name because it travelled around to many different Māori settlements, finally resting at Cornwall Park. It is thought to have been originally located near Te Arai, north of Auckland. Stones such as this were often focal points of tūāhu, ceremonial places.
The obelisk was completed on the summit of Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill by 1940, the centennial year of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. Although it was constructed nearly 30 years after Sir John Logan Campbell's death, it fulfilled the terms expressed in his will which he had reserved money to complete. The obelisk is situated near Sir John's grave, but it was not intended to honour him, rather it was built as a permanent record of his admiration for the achievements and character of the great Māori race. Campbell decided on the idea of an obelisk after admiring them during his travels in Egypt.The base is formed from rusticated basalt blocks and rubbed stone wedges, while the cast bronze figure of a Māori rangatira was sculpted by Richard Oliver Gross. The official unveiling of the obelisk was delayed until 24 April 1948, once World War II was over, in keeping with the Māori custom of not holding such ceremonies during a time of bloodshed. A number of dignitaries were present for the occasion, including the Māori King, Koroki, and the Mayor of Auckland.
Sir John Logan Campbell's grave
When Sir John passed away aged 94 on 22 June, 1912, a special transfer of 2.6 hectares of land was made to the Cornwall Park trustees so that he could be laid to rest overlooking his beloved park. It was the largest funeral procession ever recorded in Auckland's history. The inscription on his grave reads ''Si monumentum requiris circumspice'' which translates as "If you need a memorial look about you". His wife Emma Cracroft Campbell died shortly after him, on 11 August, 1912.
The park contains many stone walls that have been used for different purposes throughout the years. The earliest stone walls found in both Cornwall Park and One Tree Hill Domain were historically used for gardening. When Māori first settled in New Zealand they brought with them tropical crops which struggled to grow in New Zealand's colder climate. Kūmara, gourds, taro and yams were a few of the hardier crops that managed to adapt well. The scoria rock walls that they built around their gardens would heat in the sun, slowly warm the soil and extend the growing season by up to one month! It is estimated that this technique had been evolving for around a thousand years before Europeans arrived. When Europeans came, they too used stone walls but for sheep and cattle farming and housing. We have remnants in the park of stone walls from when the land was owned by Thomas Henry in the 1840s, before Brown and Campbell bought it in 1853. There are also wall remnants from 1942 when the 39th US Army Hospital was built on the eastern side of the park. Repairs continue to be done to maintain these important historical features.
Old Avenue
The walking path from the cricket club gate to Huia Lodge was once known as Old Avenue and was the old horse and carriage route. Sir John planted many trees along here, including macrocarpa.
Sunken Garden
The park's design features were well thought out, and though today the Sunken Garden in the centre of our main roundabout is often missed by visitors, it originally served as a surprise viewing for those entering the park on horse and carriage and sitting up high. Today, the garden is replanted twice a year with different flowers by our dedicated nursery team and is best admired on foot.
Hospital site
Cornwall Park today is a place of refuge and respite for the people of New Zealand, but once upon a time it provided healthcare services too in the form of two hospitals. The eastern area of the park, where the Cornwall Park Cafe sits today, housed a hospital for US Army soldiers injured in the Pacific during World War II. Built in 1943 at the request of the New Zealand Government, once the war was over the US Army 39th General Hospital became the temporary National Women's Hospital and Geriatric Unit while a permanent building was constructed next door. Today all that remains is the flagstaff that once flew the US flag.
Volcanic rocks
Basalt outcrops from Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill can be seen at the bottom of the Rangitoto Steps. There are two different types of volcanic rock that can be found in the park, basalt and scoria. Basalt is created from lava flows and is embedded in the mountain, while scoria is thrown up by the volcano and then cools. In the western crater of Maungakiekie there are big lumps of crumbly red dirt, this is a mixture of the ash and scoria. The ash is 280,500 years old and is from the Three Kings eruption.
Golf club site
Among his many hats, Sir John also dabbled in a bit of golf, and was the president of the Auckland Golf Club. In 1901 the club was allowed to lease a portion of Cornwall Park for its new clubhouse and Sir John inaugurated the opening with teeing off the first shot. The arrangement was only temporary and the club moved on in 1909. Following its departure the Maungakiekie Golf Club moved in until 1943 when it became apparent that playing golf in a public park with walkers and animals nearby was not ideal and that it was damaging the maunga.

MONKPHISH – Cyber Security Solutions for Academic Institutions
41% of higher education cybersecurity incidents and breaches were caused by social engineering attacks. Cyber security attacks are on the rise and have become increasingly sophisticated. More and more businesses, individuals and organisations are reporting cyber security breaches. This rise in attacks has led to an increase in cyber security experts. However, educational institutions have been particularly vulnerable. Most educational institutions have to create their digital services from scratch and that makes them easy targets for cyber security attacks. This blog will take a look at the different techniques and tools used in cyber security attacks and how educational institutions can combat these assaults.
Educational institutions are particularly vulnerable to cyber security assaults since many educational organisations had to create their digital services in response to the Covid-19 outbreak, which left them with no other choice. In addition to having a large number of users linked to a single shared network, such organisations also keep a lot of personal and important data.
The most popular and widely used form of communication in educational institutions is still email. Due to the fact that even the strongest filters can malfunction and that phishing emails won't be identified as spam, phishing continues to be the top cyber security issue for the educational sector.
What are the challenges that the education sector is facing today?
Unsecure wireless connection
Social media usage
Increase in e-learning tools
Teachers awareness lack
Students awareness lack
Lack of cyber security policies
The study program should include lessons on cyber security. As a result, youth will become more aware of digital environments, protecting them from risks like identity theft, credential theft, cyberbullying, psychological online manipulation, falling for phishing scams, and digital privacy. Students will be equipped for the digital age in this way.
What measures can be taken towards the cyber security risks?
Educational institutions have the slowest recovery time from cyber attacks. That is why it is easier to prevent than to recover.
Raising cyber security awareness at schools
Sufficient training among teachers
Cyber security study curriculum for students
We hope you enjoyed our article about protecting the relation between educational institutions and cyber attacks. It is important to protect the youth from cyber attacks in order to keep their digital communication safe. With users and data growing rapidly, protecting your organisation from cyber attacks is a top priority. We are always looking for ways to improve our security and will continue to do so.

It's a very old time. There was a beautiful ashram on the banks of river Ganges. Many of the monks lived in that ashram. They were the disciples of master Yagnavalkya who always sat in meditation with their ascetic disciples.
Once the Guru Yavankavalkya was walking in the river. At the same time he saw a falcon was taking a little rat in his paws. Suddenly, the rat started moving and fell from the paws of the falcon and fell into the hands of the master directly.
When the master noticed that the fawn is still flying in the sky, he did not leave the rat out and he left that rat on a nearby tree. After taking some time, they took that rat child with them. On the way, their mind got some different ideas and they made that little rat a little girl with his power and take her towards his ashram.
When the master reached home, he told his wife - O fortunate, we should accept this girl as God's grace and blessings and accept it because we have no children anyway. Gurudev's wife was very happy and she gladly accepted that little girl.
The girl grew up at the Guru's ashram. She became educated, and in the care of the master, the girl learned about the facts of science and about life. The master and his wife were proud of their child.
Gradually the girl got bigger. The time came when the guru's wife talked about the marriage of the girl , wife said - The way our daughter is special from other girls, in the same way she should find a special husband. The guru also agreed and went out to find his daughter's groom.
In the next morning, the Guru summoned the sun with his power and said, 'Please mercifully marry my daughter?' So Sundev replied - I am willing to marry, ask my daughter and see. When the guru asked his daughter, she refused to marry and said - Dad, the sun god gives light to the whole world, but he is very hot, whatever gets near him will be consumed. Do not want to marry Sun God advised, when he heard this, and said, "Guruji, go to the king of your clouds. He is powerful with me too, he can also stop the mirror light."
After listening to this, the master called the King of the clouds with his power and said, "O cloud , please mercifully marry my daughter?" The king of the clouds answered, listening to this - in the meanwhile ready for marriage, but once you ask your daughter. When the guru asked his daughter again, the daughter refused to marry and said, "The king of the clouds is dark, it is gill and it is also cold, and said choose a good and right husband. Guruji got into thinking that who will be right for his daughter? Then the king of the clouds advised to go to the king of the storm, he is also stronger than me, because he can fly away wherever he wants.
Upon hearing this, the guru called the mountain with his power. When he appeared, the master again asked the same question which most he had asked - will marriage my daughter? On hearing this the mountain king said in reply - I am convinced to marry your daughter. Ask your daughter once. After listening to this, the master asked his daughter, but this time also, his daughter refused to marry the mountain king and said - in the mountain does not want to marry the king, because it is very harsh and permanent. The master went to the worried position and thought of a better groom than the Mountain King who could be for his daughter? Seeing the fall in the thinking, te mountain king him, why do not you ask the king of rats, he is even better than me, because even if so strong, he can pierce my body.
On hearing this, the master called the King of rats with his power from the earliest. When the king of rats came, when he asked the master, he also did the same thing as the rest of the people and said that I am ready. You should ask your daughter once. When the guru asked his daughter ,she liked the rat king and she made a yes for the shame of getting married. Knowing this, the Guru was very happy and changed his daughter to a rat with his power as her choice and married both.
Learning from the story: We can never separate things related to our fate and birth because they are in our blood.
